NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of First Financial Holdings, Inc. ("the Company") and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Charleston and Peoples Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Conway and all of their subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany items related to the consolidated
subsidiaries have been eliminated.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
The weighted average shares outstanding amounted to 6,370,317 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to 6,292,282 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995. The weighted average shares
outstanding amounted to 6,336,558 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1996 as compared to 6,280,039 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1995.
Adoption of SFAS 114 and SFAS 118
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") has issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," ("SFAS 114") which
requires that all creditors value all specifically reviewed loans
for which it is probable that the creditor will be unable to
collect all amounts due according to the terms of the loan
agreement at the present value of expected cash flows, market
price of the loan, if available, or value of the underlying
collateral. Expected cash flows are required to be discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate. SFAS 114 is required for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.
The FASB also issued Standard No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and
Disclosures," ("SFAS 118") that amends SFAS 114 to allow a
creditor to use existing methods for recognizing interest income
on an impaired loan and by requiring additional disclosures about
how a creditor recognizes interest income related to impaired
loans. SFAS 118 is to be implemented concurrently with SFAS 114.
On October 1, 1995, the provisions of SFAS 114 and 118 were
adopted. The adoption required no increase to the allowance for
loan losses and had no impact on net income in the first quarter
of 1996. The Company reclassified amounts of in-substance
foreclosures to non-accrual loans for consistency in treatment.
A loan is also considered impaired if its terms are modified
in a troubled debt restructuring after October 1, 1995. For
these accruing impaired loans, cash receipts are typically
applied to principal and interest receivable in accordance with
the terms of the restructured loan agreement. Interest income is
recognized on these loans using the accrual method of accounting.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and all
investments payable on demand or with original terms of three
months or less.
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
The Company's investments in debt securities principally
consist of U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed
securities purchased by the Company or created when the Company
exchanges pools of loans for mortgage-backed securities. The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 115 as of September 30, 1993. In accordance with SFAS
115, the Company classifies its investments in debt securities as
held to maturity securities, trading securities and available for
sale securities as applicable.
Securities are designated as held to maturity if the Company
has the positive intent and the ability to hold the securities to
maturity. Held to maturity securities are carried at amortized
cost, adjusted for the amortization of any related premiums or
the accretion of any related discounts into interest income using
a methodology which approximates a level yield of interest over
the estimated remaining period until maturity. Unrealized losses
on held to maturity securities, reflecting a decline in value
judged by the Company to be other than temporary, are charged to
income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Debt and equity securities that are bought and held
principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are
reported as trading securities. Trading securities are carried
at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses included
in earnings.
The Company classifies securities as available for sale when
at the time of purchase it determines that such securities may be
sold at a future date or if the Company does not have the intent
or ability to hold such securities to maturity.
Securities designated as available for sale are recorded at
market value. Changes in the market value of debt and equity
securities available for sale are included in shareholders'
equity as unrealized gains or losses net of the related tax
effect. Unrealized losses on available for sale securities,
reflecting a decline in value judged to be other than temporary,
are charged to income in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations of the Company. Realized gains or losses on available
for sale securities are computed on the specific identification
basis.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The Company enters into sales of securities under agreements
to repurchase (reverse repurchase agreements). Fixed coupon
reverse repurchase agreements are treated as financings. The
obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a
liability and securities underlying the agreements continue to be
reflected as assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition.
Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
The Company provides for loan losses on the allowance
method. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to related
allowances and all recoveries are credited to the allowances.
Additions to the allowance for loan losses are provided by
charges to operations based on various factors which, in
management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating
losses. Such factors considered by management include the fair
value of the underlying collateral, growth and composition of the
loan portfolios, the relationship of the allowance for loan
losses to outstanding loans, loss experience, delinquency trends,
and economic conditions. Management evaluates the carrying value
of loans periodically and the allowances are adjusted
accordingly. While management uses the best information
available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the
allowances may be necessary if economic conditions differ
substantially from the assumptions used in making the
evaluations. Allowances for loan losses are subject to periodic
evaluation by various regulatory authorities and may be subject
to adjustment upon their examination.
Office Properties and Equipment
Office properties and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is
provided generally on the straight-line method over the estimated
life of the related asset for financial reporting purposes.
Estimated lives range up to thirty years for buildings and
improvements and up to ten years for furniture, fixtures and
equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. Improvements which extend the useful lives of the
respective assets are capitalized. Accelerated depreciation is
utilized on certain assets for income tax purposes.
Real Estate
Real estate acquired through foreclosure is initially
recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value.
Subsequent to the date of acquisition, it is carried at the lower
of cost or fair value, adjusted for net selling costs. Fair
values of real estate owned are reviewed regularly and writedowns
are recorded when it is determined that the carrying value of
real estate exceeds the fair value less estimated costs to sell.
Costs relating to the development and improvement of such
property are capitalized, whereas those costs relating to holding
the property are charged to expense.
Loans Receivable and Loans Held for Sale
The Company's real estate loan portfolio consists primarily
of long-term loans secured by first mortgages on single-family
residences, other residential property, commercial property and
land. The adjustable-rate mortgage loan is the Company's primary
loan offering for portfolio lending purposes. The Company's
consumer loans include lines of credit, auto loans, marine loans,
mobile home loans and loans on various other types of consumer
products. The Company also makes shorter term commercial
business loans on a secured and unsecured basis.
Fees are charged for originating loans at the time the loan
is granted. Loan origination fees received, if any, are offset
by the deferral of certain direct expenses associated with loans
originated. The net fees or costs are recognized as yield
adjustments by applying the interest method.
Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based on
the principal amount and contract rate on the loan. The accrual
of interest is discontinued when, in the opinion of management,
there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet
future payments as they become due, generally when a loan is
ninety days past due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all
unpaid accrued interest is reversed. While a loan is on non-
accrual status, interest is recognized only as cash is received.
Loans are returned to accrual status only when the loan is
reinstated and ultimate collectibility of future interest is no
longer in doubt.
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the
secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated
market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are
provided for in a valuation allowance by charges to operations.
Income Taxes
Effective October 1, 1992, the Company prospectively adopted
SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset
and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under
SFAS 109, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used
for income tax purposes.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts previously presented in the consolidated
financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to
conform to current classifications. All such reclassifications
had no effect on the prior period's net income or retained
earnings as previously reported.

FIRST FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATIONS AND PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of First Financial Holdings, Inc., ("First Financial, or
the Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Federal
Savings and Loan Association of Charleston ("First Federal") and
Peoples Federal Savings and Loan Association of Conway ("Peoples
Federal") (together, the "Associations"). All significant
intercompany items related to the consolidated subsidiaries have
been eliminated.
GENERAL
Net income for the third quarter was $3.0 million,
reflecting growth in earnings of 32% compared to net income of
$2.3 million in the third quarter of 1995. On a per share basis,
net income was $.47, an increase of 31% over third quarter 1995
earnings of $.36. Net income for the nine months ended June 30,
1996 totaled $8.4 million, or $1.33 per share, compared with $6.6
million, or $1.05 per share, earned in the first nine months of
1995.
Net interest income in the third quarter totaled $11.5
million compared with $9.7 million in the June 1995 quarter. Net
interest income also increased $3.9 million in the first nine
months of 1996 compared with the nine months ended June 30, 1995.
Other noninterest income increased 15% and 19%,respectively, in
the current quarter and in the first nine months of fiscal 1996
compared with comparable periods in fiscal 1995. General and
administrative expenses increased approximately 5% in both the
current quarter and in the first nine months of 1996 compared
with 1995. In the most recent quarter the Company's efficiency
ratio improved to 62.2% compared with 70.0% in the June 1995,
quarter.
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF") reforms remain unsettled. Well-
capitalized SAIF-insured institutions, such as First Federal and
Peoples Federal, continue to pay deposit insurance premiums of
$.23 per $100 of deposits on an annual basis while well-
capitalized BIF-insured institutions are subject currently to no
premiums other than a statutory fee of $2,000 per year.
Management continues to expect part of the ultimate solution to
be a one-time special assessment on all assessable thrift
deposits.
Based on assessable deposits as of the most recent quarter
ending June 30, 1996, a special assessment in the range of 70 to
80 basis points would result in an after-tax combined charge
ranging from $4.7 million to $5.4 million. During the first nine
months of fiscal 1996, SAIF premium expense of $1.9 million was
recorded by the Associations based on current premium rates
charged to SAIF-insured well-capitalized institutions. For
further discussion of these issues, see "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
Recapitalization Proposal" in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Consolidated assets of the Company totaled $1.5 billion at
June 30, 1996. During the current nine months assets increased
$157.9 million, or 15.4% on an annualized basis, principally as a
result of net growth of $150.8 million in loans receivable.
Cash, Investment Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities
Cash, deposits in transit and interest-bearing deposits
increased $6.7 million during the nine months and totaled $31.2
million at June 30, 1996. Investments held to maturity declined
by $32.6 million while investments available for sale increased
$31.1 million. On November 15, 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued a Special Report, "A Guide to
Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," that permitted an
enterprise to reassess the appropriateness of the classifications
of all securities held upon the initial adoption of the Special
Report provided that such reassessment and any resulting
reclassification be completed no later than December 31, 1995.
Any reclassifications from the held to maturity category
resulting from this one-time reassessment will not call into
question the intent of that enterprise to hold other debt
securities to maturity in the future. The Company evaluated its
investment position with respect to securities classified as held
to maturity in light of this new guidance on implementation.
Investment securities totaling $32.2 million were reclassified
from held to maturity to available for sale during the quarter
ending December 31, 1995.
The Company's investments and other interest-earning
deposits continue to be comprised primarily of U. S. Government
and agency securities, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta
stock and overnight deposits in the FHLB of Atlanta. During the
first nine months of 1996 purchases of investments totaled $31.4
million. Maturities and sales of investments totaled $30.0
million during the first nine months of the year.
Mortgage-backed securities totaled $98.6 million at June 30,
1996. As mentioned above, the Company evaluated its investment
position with respect to mortgage-backed securities held to
maturity as allowed under the provisions of the Special Report of
the FASB and reclassified $18.0 million to available for sale.
All mortgage-backed securities of the Company are currently
classified as available for sale.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 1996,
increasing $150.8 million from September 30, 1995. The principal
use of the Company's funds is the origination of mortgage and
other loans. The Company originated $236.3 million (net of
refinances) in mortgage loans, $38.6 million in consumer loans
and $19.8 million in commercial business loans during the nine
months ending June 30, 1996. The Company also added $23.8
million in loans from correspondent originators.
Due to present market conditions, the Company has limited
growth in loans made on nonresidential properties and placed
greater emphasis on single-family lending. This policy is
expected to over time reduce the Company's exposure to commercial
real estate. The following table summarizes the composition of
the Company's gross loan portfolio (amounts in thousands):
June 30, Sept. 30, June 30,
1996 1995 1995
Residential (1-4 family) $ 857,221 $ 698,442 $ 653,951
Other residential 55,772 57,269 57,717
Land and lots 33,519 24,294 21,654
Commercial real estate 179,655 187,195 188,320
Home equity lines of credit 44,370 43,852 45,331
Consumer 72,713 70,729 69,643
Commercial business 28,056 27,825 27,153
Total gross loans $1,271,306 $1,109,606 $1,063,769
As the above table indicates, gross loan balances increased
$161.7 million during the current period principally due to
growth in single-family loans. Outstanding commitments to
originate and purchase mortgage loans and to fund the undisbursed
portion of construction loans amounted to $48.7 million at June
30, 1996, compared to $40.2 million at September 30, 1995.
Unused lines of credit on equity loans, consumer loans, credit
cards and commercial loans totaled $90.7 million as of June 30,
1996 compared to $89.4 million at September 30, 1995.
The Company originates the majority of its loans in its
primary market area located in the coastal region of South
Carolina. Less than 1% of total gross loans are secured by
property or collateral located outside South Carolina. In an
effort to expand mortgage lending operations and improve earning
asset growth the Company began originating mortgage loans in
other markets in 1995. The Company utilizes its existing
mortgage loan products and programs in establishing correspondent
relationships with other lenders.

during the first nine months of fiscal 1996.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for
potential losses existing in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses is evaluated at least quarterly
based, among other factors, on a continuous review of the
Company's loan portfolio, with particular emphasis on adversely
classified loans.
The following table sets forth the allocation of the
Company's allowance for loan losses (excluding mortgage-backed
securities) at June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 (amounts in
thousands). The allocation of the allowance for loan losses set
forth in the table should not be interpreted as an indication
that charge-offs will necessarily occur in these amounts or
proportions or that the allocation indicates future charge-off
trends.

</TABLE>
Checking and other transaction account balances have
increased as the Company has emphasized growth in these types of
products. Retail deposits are the primary source of funding for
the Company for lending purposes and as a customer base for
providing additional financial services. The Company's total
deposits declined $11.7 million during the nine months ending
June 30, 1996, partially as a result of the maturity of $11.0
million in wholesale certificate of deposits.
Primarily as a result of growth in loans receivable during
the nine months and the utilization of FHLB advances as a primary
source of net new funds, total FHLB advances increased $169.1
million to total $276.9 million as of June 30, 1996.
Approximately $275.5 million in FHLB advances mature within one
year from June 30, 1996. Securities sold subject to repurchase
of $36.9 million mature within three months of June 30, 1996.
Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' equity increased $5.9 million during the first
nine months of fiscal 1996 to total $97.3 million at June 30,
1996. The Company's capital ratio, total capital to total
assets, was 6.39% at June 30, 1996, compared to 6.69% at
September 30, 1995. During the nine months, the Company
increased its cash dividends to $.48 per share compared with $.42
per share in the nine months ending June 30, 1995.
On July 29, 1996, the Company announced that the Board of
Directors had approved a stock repurchase program to acquire up
to 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which represents
approximately 4% of the outstanding common stock. The repurchase
program is expected to end by March 31, 1997.
Regulatory Capital
Under current Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS")
regulations, savings associations must satisfy three minimum
capital requirements: core capital, tangible capital and risk-
based capital. Savings associations must meet all of the
standards in order to comply with the capital requirements. At
June 30, 1996, both subsidiaries were categorized as "well-
capitalized" under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations
adopted by the OTS pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). To remain in
this status, the Associations must maintain core and risk-based
capital ratios of at least 5.0% and 10.0%, respectively.
The following table summarizes the capital requirements for
First Federal and Peoples Federal as well as their capital
positions at June 30, 1996:

Company's 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Liquidity
The Associations are subject to federal regulations which
require the maintenance of a daily average balance of liquid
assets equal to 5.00% of net withdrawable savings and borrowings
payable in one year. First Federal had an average liquidity
ratio of 6.33% for the current nine months compared to 7.24% for
the comparable period in fiscal 1995. Peoples Federal's average
liquidity ratio was 7.00% during the present nine months compared
with 9.41% in the comparable period.
The Associations' primary sources of funds consist of retail
deposits, borrowings from the FHLB, principal repayments on loans
and mortgage-backed securities, securities sold under agreements
to repurchase and the sale of loans. Each of the Association's
sources of liquidity are subject to various uncertainties beyond
the control of the Associations. As a measure of protection, the
Association's have back-up sources of funds available, including
excess FHLB borrowing capacity and excess liquidity in securities
available for sale.
During the current nine months the Company experienced a net
cash outflow from investing activities of $151.8 million,
consisting principally of loans originated and purchased for
investment, offset by principal payments on loans and mortgage-
backed securities. The Company experienced cash inflows of $11.8
million from operating activities. Financing activities resulted
in cash inflows of $146.7 million, consisting principally of
$169.1 million in net new FHLB advances offset by a $11.7 million
decline in deposit balances and a $7.6 million reduction in
reverse repurchase agreements.
Parent Company Liquidity
As a holding company, First Financial conducts its business
through its subsidiaries. First Financial issued $20.3 million
in senior notes of the Company in September 1992 principally for
the purpose of acquiring Peoples Federal. Potential sources for
First Financial's payment of principal and interest on the notes
include: (i) dividends from First Federal and Peoples Federal;
(ii) existing cash reserves and sales of marketable investment
securities; and (iii) interest on investment assets.
The Company has agreed to prepay, at a price of 100% of the
principal plus accrued interest to the date of prepayment, up to
$1.0 million of the notes tendered by noteholders for prepayment
during the period of issuance through September 1, 1993, and
thereafter in any twelve month period ending September 1, subject
to certain limitations. As of June 30, 1996, First Financial had
cash reserves and marketable securities of $13.1 million.
First Federal's and Peoples Federal's ability to pay
dividends and make other capital contributions to First Financial
is restricted by regulation and may require regulatory approval.
First Federal's and Peoples Federal's ability to make
distributions may also depend on each institution's ability to
meet minimum regulatory capital requirements in effect during the
period. For a complete discussion of capital distribution
regulations, refer to "Dividend Limitations" in the Company's
10-k for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995.
Asset/Liability Management
The Company's Asset and Liability Committees establish
policies and monitor results to control interest rate
sensitivity. Although the Company utilizes measures such as
static gap, which is simply the measurement of the difference
between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive
liabilities repricing for a particular time period, just as
important a process is the evaluation of how particular assets
and liabilities are impacted by changes in interest rates or
selected indices as they reprice. Asset/liability modeling is
performed by the Company to assess varying interest rate and
balance mix assumptions. These projections enable the Company to
adjust its strategies to lessen the impact of significant
interest rate fluctuations.
The following table is a summary of First Financial's one
year gap at indicated dates (amounts in thousands):
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

Cumulative gap $ (157,660) $ (853) $ 53,120
Gap as a percent of
total assets (10.35%) (.06%) 4.00%
</TABLE>
The Company's one year gap as a percent of total assets
declined from (.06%) to (10.35%) during the current nine months.
One year ago, the Company's one year gap as a percent of total
assets was 4.00%. The change from one year ago is principally
due to the retention of fixed-rate loans originated by the
Company throughout the period. A negative gap indicates that
cumulative interest-sensitive liabilities exceed cumulative
interest-sensitive assets and suggests that net interest income
would decline if market rates increased. A positive gap would
suggest the reverse. This relationship is not always ensured due
to the repricing attributes of both interest sensitive assets and
interest sensitive liabilities.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS

the current nine months totaled $910 thousand compared with $300
thousand in the comparable period in fiscal 1995.
Other Income
Loan servicing fee income declined $50 thousand in the
current nine months, primarily as a result of decreases in
balances of loans serviced and respective servicing fees. Fees
on deposit accounts increased $511 thousand during the current
period. Commissions on brokerage and insurance sales increased
$379 thousand in the current period. During fiscal 1995 Magrath
Insurance Agency, a subsidiary of Peoples Federal, purchased an
additional insurance agency in Lake City, South Carolina. Link
Investment Service began its sales activity in fiscal 1996.

$5.6 million of other expenses for the current nine months was a
non-recurring expense of $348 thousand related to a deposit
account.
Income Tax Expense
During the first nine months, the Company's effective tax
rate was 36.2% compared to 36.3% in the comparable period. The
actual tax provision of $4.8 million resulted in an increase of
approximately $1.0 million from the prior period.
IMPACT OF REGULATORY AND ACCOUNTING ISSUES
For a comprehensive discussion of regulatory and accounting
issues, refer to "Regulation of the Associations" in the
Company's 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1995.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights," on October 1, 1995. This rule allows financial
institutions to capitalize servicing-related costs associated
with mortgage loans that are originated for sale, and to create
servicing assets for such loans. Prior to the Company's
adoption, originated mortgage servicing rights would not have
been recognized. The Company had no material amounts of loan
sales in the first nine months of fiscal 1996.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities" in June, 1996. SFAS No. 125 lays
out in detail the criteria that must be met in order for a
transaction to be considered a sale or a secured borrowing. The
new rules employ the "financial components approach," which
treats separately the various parts of a range of financial
instruments. Moreover, the new rules refine the treatment of
servicing rights, amending in part the directives set forth in
SFAS 122. This statement is effective for transfers and servicing
of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring
after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied prospectively.
