FIRST FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1 - Basis of Presentation

The financial information included herein for First Financial Corporation, and all of its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries (the "Company") is unaudited; however, such unaudited information reflects all adjustments which are, in management's opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and statement of cash flows for the interim periods. In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenue and expense for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Minority interest represents ownership of other entities in the net assets and net earnings of Key Group, Ltd. ("Key Group").

The results of operations and changes in cash flow for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Certain reclassifications were made to prior periods to ensure comparability with the current period.

2 - Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

3 - Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of the loan loss reserve for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes. The Company has approximately $6,000,000 in available net operating loss carryforward benefits for financial statement purposes to offset future income, if any. A valuation allowance has been provided for all tax benefits.

4 - Contingencies

Substantially all of the conventional pools of manufactured home loans serviced by the Company, approximately $364,000 at June 30, 2002, were sold to investors with recourse. The recourse provisions typically require the Company to repurchase delinquent loans at the unpaid balances plus accrued interest, or replace delinquent loans with another loan which is current. Further, several of the agreements require the Company to establish and maintain cash reserve accounts. Deposits are periodically made to the accounts equal to a specified percent of the outstanding loans. The accounts may be used to cover deficiencies from foreclosure and liquidation of delinquent pooled mortgage loans. Such cash reserve accounts totaled $10,495 and are included in restricted cash at June 30, 2002.

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

Results of Operations

The Company had a net loss of ($352,881) for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to net income of $23,608 for the same period in 2001. Loan administration revenues were $2,886,704 for the first six months of 2002 compared to $4,515,564 for the same period of 2001. The decrease in loan administration revenues is the result of decreased loan origination fees from the Company's residential mortgage loan operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, First Preference Mortgage Corp.("FPMC"), a third tier subsidiary of Key Group, funded approximately $254.2 million in new residential mortgage loans compared to approximately $303.2 million during the same period in 2001. During the first six months of 2001, FPMC experienced a significant increase in the volume of mortgage loan refinancing due to significant decreases in the residential mortgage interest rates during this time period. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2002, the revenues from the sale of the mortgage loans to governmental and private investors decreased significantly due to the unstable market conditions that prevailed during the period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, Key Group had a net loss of ($892,477) compared to net income $137,890 for the same period in 2001. This significant change by Key Group is primarily due the decrease in residential mortgage loan originations and reduced revenues from the sale of the mortgage loans as discussed above. The Company's share of the net income (loss) of Key Group was ($472,442) and $73,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The minority interest in the net loss of Key Group amounted to $419,991 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to a minority interest in the net income of ($64,897) for the comparable period in 2001. The minority interest represents the ownership of other entities in the Key Group net income or net loss.

5


Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 amounted to $877,625 compared to $1,054,354 for the same period in 2001. This decrease is primarily due to the significant decrease in new residential mortgage loans originated during the first six months of 2002 as compared to 2001 as discussed above. FPMC earns interest from the date the mortgage loan is closed until the date the mortgage loan is sold to investors.

Salaries and related expenses decreased to $2,719,543 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $3,137,081 for the same period in 2001. This decrease is primarily due to the reduction in the amount of commission expense resulting from decreased retail residential mortgage loan originations. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, retail mortgage loan originations amounted to approximately $36.8 million compared to $77.5 for the same period in 2001.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, interest expense amounted to $528,761 compared to $939,370 for the same period in 2001. The significant decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 is primarily due to decreased utilization of the Company's mortgage warehouse line of credit resulting from the approximately 16% decrease in new residential loan originations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as discussed above. In addition, the weighted average interest rate for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was approximately 4.41% compared to 6.75% for the same period in 2001.

During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the provision for losses under servicing agreements was ($0) resulting in a balance in the reserve for losses under servicing agreements of $236,929 at June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company had a negative provision for losses under servicing agreements of ($0) which resulted in a balance in the reserve for losses under servicing agreements of $236,929 at June 30, 2001. As previously discussed, under the terms of certain of its servicing agreements, the Company is at risk for any credit losses and costs of foreclosure, net of credit insurance proceeds, if any, sustained on default of the borrower. The Company has analyzed its servicing portfolio characteristics, including servicing portfolio balance, loss experience, maturity and aging of the loans and the credit insurance coverage on the loans. Based on this analysis, it is the Company's belief that its reserve for losses under servicing agreements is adequate for potential losses attributable to the servicing agreements.

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 amounted to $606,353 compared to $490,937 for the same period in 2001. In the second quarter of 2001, the Company evaluated its billings for consulting fees and increased the fees to reflect the current cost of providing these services.

The consolidated statements of income for the six month ended June 30, 2002 reflect equity in the net loss of affiliates of ($206) compared to net income of $7,055 for the same period in 2001.

Other comprehensive income consists of unrealized holding gains (losses) on marketable investment securities net of income taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, unrealized holding losses amounted to ($36,692) compared to unrealized holding gains of $40,648 for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Financial Condition

At June 30, 2002, the Company's total assets were $37,474,947 compared to $32,551,907 at June 30, 2001. Included in the Company's total assets are the assets of Key Group which amounted to $34,454,284 and $29,553,076 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Key Group assets at June 30, 2002 consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $470,454, mortgage loans of $31,063,915, property and equipment of $965,426 and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets of $1,954,489. The minority interest in the net assets of Key Group at June 30, 2002 amounted to $1,151,549 compared to $1,389,375 at June 30, 2001

6


On consolidated basis, cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) were $1,269,567 at June 30, 2002. Included therein was cash and cash equivalents for Key Group of $470,454 and Apex Lloyds Insurance Company of $743,968. The cash flow of Key Group is only available to the Company to the extent that cash is received in the form of partnership distributions. The cash flow of Apex Lloyds Insurance Company is only available to the Company as allowed by state insurance regulations.

As more fully discussed in the Annual Report Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001, FPMC has a mortgage warehouse line of credit with a financial institution totaling $45,000,000 which expired March 31, 2002. This agreement was extended until December 31, 2002. This agreement includes certain financial covenants including requirements to maintain FPMC stockholders' equity above $2,700,000 and adjusted-tangible-net worth above $2.5 million. Also, FPMC's total liabilities to adjusted tangible net worth may never exceed 15 to 1

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
