                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.  Accounting Policies

      The accompanying March 31, 1995 and 1994 consolidated financial
statements are unaudited.  The December 31, 1994, consolidated statement of
condition amounts are as reported in the Corporation's 1994 annual report.

      The significant accounting policies followed by First Financial
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.

      Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by creditors for
Impairment of a Loan" which had no material effect on the Corporation's
consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of          Operations

      The purpose of the review is to point out key factors in First
Financial's recent performance, compared with earlier periods.  The review
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements beginning on Page
3 of this report.  All figures are for the consolidated entities.  It is 
presumed the readers of these financial statements and the following narrative
have previously read the Corporation's annual report for 1994.

Earnings Analysis

                         Summary of Operating Results
      Net income for current quarter of $2,720,000 represents a $210,000
increase or 8.4% from  the $2,510,000 reported for the same quarter of 1994. 
Earnings per share increased to $.49 from $.45 for the same period of 1994.

Net Interest Income
      First Financial Corporation's primary source of earnings is net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans and other
investments and the interest incurred for deposits and other sources of funds. 
Although net interest income increased $243,000 or 2.1% as compared to the
same period of 1994, the spread in interest rates decreased from 4.26% in 1994
to 4.17% in 1995.  This decrease was caused by a higher cost paid for interest 
bearing-liabilities as the result of more competition for funds. 


Other Income
      Other income for the three month period ending March 31, 1995, as
compared to the same period of 1994 increased $83,000 or 5%. Contributing to
the increase were the moderate increase of trust department income  of $44,000
or 16.2% and other service charges and fees of $142,000 or 22.3%.  These 
increases were offset by lower security gains of $6,000 for the first quarter of
1995 as compared to the gains of $71,000 for the same period of 1994.
  

Other Expenses
      For the first three months of 1995, other expenses increased 4.7% or
$405,000.  Most of the components of other expenses increased moderately for
the first quarter as compared to the same period of 1994 due primarily to the
Corporation's overall growth.

                                   7  
                  Analysis of Financial Condition
      The Corporation's provision for possible loan losses totaled $540,000 in
the first three months of 1995 compared to $963,000 in the same period a year
earlier.  The current quarter's provision  reflects a general improvement in
the quality of the loan portfolio.

     At March 31, 1995, the allowance for possible loan losses was 1.22% of 
total loans, net of unearned income.  This compares to an allowance of 1.21%
at December 31, 1994.  Net chargeoffs for the first three months of 1995 were
$311,000 compared to $1,023,000 for 1994.  The ratio of net chargeoffs to
average loans outstanding for the last five years ended December 31, 1994, is
.26%.  With this experience and based on management's review of the portfolio,
management believes the allowance of $9,875,000 is adequate.
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

      The Corporation's objective in liquidity management is to manage the
assets and liabilities to meet the needs of borrowers while allowing for the
possibility of deposit withdrawals. 

      Part of the strategy in maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity is
to structure a maturity schedule for the investment and loan portfolios that
will allow for fluctuations in the availability of funds.  Within the next
twelve months $107,417,000 of investments will mature, which represents 26.5%
of the investment portfolio.  Investments with maturities of one to five years 
comprise an additional 50.2% of the investment portfolio.

      The investment maturities along with the normal run-off of loans coupled
with a large supply of unpledged securities for repurchase agreements, federal
funds purchased, additional negotiable certificates of deposits, and other
available borrowings affords the Corporation flexibility in funding loan
growth and meeting other market opportunities as they present themselves.

      During the next twelve months the Corporation will either reprice or
mature a total of $420,971,000 of assets.  In this same period a total of
$513,361,000 of liabilities will either be repriced or mature.  Thus, the
ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities as measured on a
static basis, is 0.82% as March 31, 1995.  The Corporation will continue to 
monitor this relationship to determine if it is appropriate in maintaining a
satisfactory level of net interest margin, while also considering interest
rate sensitivity.

Capital Adequacy
      As of March 31, 1995, the Corporation's leverage ratio was 9.10% which
compared 9.30% at December 31, 1994.

      At March 31, 1995, the Corporation's tier II capital ratio was 15.29%
compared to 15.30% at December 31, 1994.
