The following should be added after the seventh full paragraph under the section

    Currently,  there are no annual service fees  chargeable to a participant in
    connection  with  an IRA,  SEP-IRA,  SARSEP-IRA  or  SIMPLE-IRA.  Each  Fund
    currently  pays  the  annual  $10.00  custodian  fee for  each  IRA  account
    maintained  with such Fund. This policy may be changed at any time by a Fund
    on 45 days' written notice to the holder of any IRA, SEP-IRA,  SARSEP-IRA or
    SIMPLE-IRA. First Financial Savings has reserved the right to waive its fees
    at any time or to change the fees on 45 days'  prior  written  notice to the
    holder of any IRA.
