                        SAND RIDGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
              NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


General

Reclassification of information has been made at times to provide consistency in
the presentation of financial information for the corporations involved. These
reclassifications are not material in nature and had no effect on net earnings.


(A)      First Financial exchanged 5,115,000 shares of First Financial Common
         Stock for all the 60,000 outstanding shares of Sand Ridge Financial
         Corporation Common Stock. The exchange ratio was 85.25 shares of First
         Financial Common Stock for each share of Sand Ridge Financial
         Corporation Common Stock which was calculated by dividing 5,115,000 by
         60,000 which was the aggregate number of shares of Sand Ridge Financial
         Corporation's Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
         the consummation.

(B)      First Financial Common Stock and Sand Ridge Financial Common Stock do
         not have par values. Sand Ridge Financial Common Stock, however, has a
         stated value of $10.00 per share, while First Financial Common Stock
         does not have a stated value. Since First Financial Common Stock does
         not have a stated value, its capital accounts do not include an
         "additional paid-in capital" or "surplus" account. As a result, Sand
         Ridge Financial Corporation's additional paid-in capital was
         transferred to its "common stock" account in the "consolidated
         pro-forma column, as shown in the table below:



                                                              
         Common stock                                $  600  $ 4,600   $5,200
         Surplus                                      4,600   (4,600)       0
                                                     ------  -------   ------
         Total common stock and surplus              $5,200  $     0   $5,200
