The Amendment is being filed to reflect credit card loans held-for-sale separately from installment loans. The Amendment reflects that as of March 31, 2008, the Company had installment loans outstanding of $268,726 and, as separate line item on the balance sheet, credit card loans held-for-sale of $12,544 as of March 31, 2008 and $14,068 as of December 31, 2007.

Pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-15, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the complete text of each item of Form 10-Q listed above as amended, and includes updated Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, and 32.1

This Amendment to our Original Report continues to speak as of the date of our Original Report, and we have not updated the disclosures contained in the Amendment to reflect any events that occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Report. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings made subsequent to the filing of the Original Report on May 9, 2008, including any amendments to those filings.

FIRST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying March 31, 2008 and 2007 consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The December 31, 2007 consolidated financial statements are as reported in the First Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) 2007 annual report. The information presented does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting procedures for complete financial statements. The following notes should be read together with notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2007 annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to Form 10-K.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation and its subsidiaries for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are of a normal recurring nature. The Corporation reports financial information for only one segment, banking. Some items in the prior year financials were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

2. Impaired Loans

A loan is considered to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Impairment is primarily measured based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. The following table summarizes impaired loan information:

	(000’s)
	March 31,		December 31,
	2008		2007
Impaired loans with related allowance for loan losses calculated under SFAS No. 114	$	4,831	$	2,203
Impaired loans with no related allowance for loan losses		—		—
		$4,831	$	2,203

Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collection of the principal amount is deemed to be fully assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis.

3. Securities

The amortized cost and fair value of the Corporation’s investments are shown below. All securities are classified as available-for-sale.

	(000’s)				(000’s)
	March 31, 2008				December 31, 2007
	Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Amortized Cost		Fair Value
United States Government entity mortgage-backed securities	$	341,380	$	349,367	$	288,742	$	289,704
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations		73,851		76,504		76,730		77,174
State and Municipal Obligations		137,052		142,442		142,862		146,515
Corporate Obligations		37,773		34,883		38,010		36,843
Equity Securities		4,779		7,504		4,721		7,784
	$	594,835	$	610,700	$	551,065	$	558,020

4. Fair Value

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1:	Quoted prices (unadjusted) of identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2:	Significant other observable inputs other than Level I prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3:	Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

7

The fair value of securities available for sale is determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

	March 31, 2008
	Fair Value Measurements Using
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Carrying Value
Securities available-for-sale (1)	$	3,444	$	575,423	$	31,833	$	610,700

(1) Carried at fair value prior to the adoption of SFAS 159

The table below presents a reconciliation and income statement classification of gains and losses for all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

	Fair Value Measurements Using Significant
	Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Beginning Balance			33,745
Total gains or losses (realized/unrealized)			(1,674	)
Purchase			—
Settlements			—
Paydowns and Maturities			(238	)
Transfers into Level 3			—
Ending Balance		$	31,833

Changes in unrealized gains and losses recorded in earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 for Level 3 assets and liabilities that are still held at March 31, 2008 are immaterial.

All impaired loans disclosed in footnote 2 are valued at Level 3 and have a valuation allowance of $1.9 million at March 31, 2008. The impact to the provision for loan losses for the quarter ending March 31, 2008 is immaterial.

5. Short-Term Borrowings

Period–end short-term borrowings were comprised of the following:

	(000’s)
	March 31,		December 31,
	2008		2007
Federal Funds Purchased	$	5,283	$	3,032
Repurchase Agreements		18,706		22,656
Note Payable – U.S. Government		2,027		1,643
	$	26,016	$	27,331

6. Other Borrowings

Other borrowings at period-end are summarized as follows:

	(000’s)
	March 31,		December 31,
	2008		2007
FHLB advances	$	329,685	$	334,685
City of Terre Haute, Indiana economic development revenue bonds		6,600		6,600
	$	336,285	$	341,285

Amortization of net (gain) loss		182			116			3		43
Net Periodic Benefit Cost	$	839		$	661		$	109	$	164

Employer Contributions

First Financial Corporation previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 that it expected to contribute $1.7 and $1.3 million respectively to its Pension Plan and ESOP and $185,000 to the Post Retirement Health Benefits Plan in 2008. Contributions of $59,000 have been made through the first quarter of 2008 for the Post Retirement Health Benefits plan.

8. Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Unrecognized tax benefits attributable to prior years were reduced by $211 thousand, including $25 thousand of interest, during the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The reversal relates to a recent U.S. Tax Court decision that confirmed that a subsidiary of a bank can deduct the interest expense of tax exempt obligations it has purchased. The time for the Internal Revenue Service to appeal the court ruling expired in the first quarter of 2008.

9. New accounting standards

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position (FSP) No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” was issued that delayed the application of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, until January 1, 2009. The Corporation adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 except these non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities subject to the deferral as a result of FSP No. 157-2. The impact of adoption was not material.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS No. 159).  The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  The Corporation did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008, the effective date of the standard.
