7 FIRST FINANCIAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying March 31, 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The December 31, 2000 consolidated financial statements are as reported in the First Financial Corporation (the Corporation) 2000 annual report. The following notes should be read together with notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2000 annual report. 1. 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. 2. 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: <TABLE> <CAPTION> (000's) March 31, December 31, 2001 2000 -------- ----------- <S> <C> <C> Impaired loans with related allowance for loan losses calculated under SFAS No. 114.............................. $7,430 $6,422 </TABLE> 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 cost and fair value of the Corporation's investments at March 31, 2001 are shown below. All securities are classified as available-for-sale. <TABLE> <CAPTION> (000's) March 31, 2001 Amortized Cost Fair Value -------------- ---------- <S> <C> <C> United States Government $153,265 $155,106 United States Government Agencies 161,187 163,568 States and Municipal 163,329 169,916 Other 69,847 70,544 -------- -------- $547,628 $559,134 ======== ======== </TABLE> 4.

Derivatives Effective January 1, 2001, the Corporation implemented a new accounting standard, which requires all derivatives to be recorded at fair value and carried on the statement of condition. Unless designated as hedges, changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the statement of income. Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations. During 2000, the Corporation entered into an interest rate swap with a notional principal balance of $10 million. The agreement requires the Corporation to make variable rate payments, based on LIBOR, which rate was 4.88% at March 31, 2001, and entitles the Corporation to receive fixed rate payments at a rate of 6.817%. The swap has a 24-month term and was entered into to hedge a similar maturity fixed rate certificate of deposit special that generated approximately $13 million in deposits. At March 31, 2001, the interest rate swap contract has a fair value of $304 thousand, which is approximately the same amount as the fair value adjustment to the hedged certificates of deposit. The interest rate swap is included in time deposits on the statement of condition. Management believes the derivative is an effective hedge. Net settlement income or expense is included in interest expense. The Corporation is exposed to credit loss in the event the counterparty does not perform under the agreement in an amount equal to the rate differential when the fixed rate exceeds the variable rate. During 2001 the Corporation purchased an interest rate cap contract with a notional principal balance of $50 million. The agreement requires the counterparty to pay the Corporation the excess of the 3 month LIBOR over 6.00%. The cap has a 36 month term which runs through March, 2004. No payments are currently required under the agreement. The agreement was entered into to help protect the Corporation's net interest income protection should interest rates increase in excess of the cap's trigger amount. The interest rate cap is carried at fair value, approximately $290 thousand at March 31, 2001, and is included in other assets on the statement of condition. As the agreement was made in late March, fair value approximates cost at March 31, 2001. 7. Acquisitions During March 2001, the Corporation executed a definitive agreement to acquire Forrest Sherer, Inc, a full lines insurance agency headquartered in Terre Haute, Indiana. The purchase price will be $8.5 million payable in cash and stock of the Corporation. The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Its results of operations will be included in the Corporation's financial statements only after acquisition. Consummation of the transaction was subject to various conditions. These were satisfied and the acquisition was consummated on April 30, 2001. The transaction did not affect the March 31, 2001 financial statements. Management has not yet finalized their determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired or the number of shares to be issued to shareholders of Forrest Sherer, Inc. During March 2001, the Corporation executed a definitive agreement to acquire Community Financial Corporation (Community), based in Olney, Illinois. Consummation of the transaction is subject to a variety of conditions, regulatory approval and approval by the shareholders of Community. This transaction will also be accounted for using the purchase method. The cash purchase price for each share of Community is dependent upon a number of variables and conditions. Management expects to consummate this transaction in late 2001. 8
9 FIRST FINANCIAL CORPORATION ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The purpose of this discussion is to point out key factors in the Corporation's recent performance compared with earlier periods. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements beginning on page three of this report. All figures are for the consolidated entities. It is presumed the readers of these financial statements and of the following narrative have previously read the Corporation's annual report for 2000. Forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Corporation's control and are subject to change. These uncertainties can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements in this discussion. Summary of Operating Results Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $5.9 million, a 9.1% improvement from the $5.4 million in the same period in 2000. Basic earnings per share increased to $0.88 for the first quarter of 2001 compared to $0.80 for 2000, a 10.0% improvement. The primary components of income and expense affecting net income are discussed in the following analysis. Net Interest Income The 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 paid for deposits and other sources of funds. Net interest income increased to $16.9 million in the first three months of 2001 from $16.8 million in the same period of 2000. This was the result of an increase of $117 million in average interest earning assets and an increase of $62 million in average interest bearing liabilities. Loans and non-taxable investments experienced higher yields for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. However, the higher yield on these assets was largely offset by higher costs of funds, particularly time deposits. The Corporation's net interest margin (tax equivalent net interest income divided by average earnings assets) declined to 3.84% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, compared to 3.99% for the prior year. During the twelve months ended March 31, 2001, loans increased $60.7 million and total assets climbed 2.6% to $2.0 billion while deposits increased 2.7% or $33.4 million. Also during 2000, the Corporation has purchased treasury stock for $5.2 million. These funds were extracted from the earning pool, lowering net interest income and increasing earnings per share. Noninterest Income Noninterest income for the three month period ending March 31, 2001, as compared to the same period of 2000, increased $1.2 million, or 44.0%. This was attributed to significantly higher gains recognized in the secondary mortgage market, increases in fee-based income and an increase in commissions generated by a reinsurance subsidiary. Noninterest Expenses Noninterest expenses for the first three months of 2001, as compared to the same period of 2000, increased $.6 million due mainly to increases in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Allowance for Loan Losses The Corporation's provision for loan losses increased to $1.5 million for the first three months of 2001 compared to $.9 million in the same period of 2000. At March 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses was 1.56% of net loans, an increase from 1.50% at December 31, 2000. Net chargeoffs for the first three months of 2001 were $.7 million compared to only $.1 million for the same period of 2000. The increased provision is substantially in response to one specific problem credit, a steel 9
10 manufacturing company. Credit facilities to this customer aggregate to approximately $5 million. These loans are on non-accrual status and management anticipates the charge-off of a significant portion of this credit in 2001. Based on historical loss experience and management's review of the current portfolio, management believes the allowance of $19.8 million at March 31, 2001, is adequate. Nonperforming Loans and Leases Nonperforming loans and leases consist of (1) nonaccrual loans and leases on which the ultimate collectability of the full amount of interest is uncertain, (2) loans and leases which have been renegotiated to provide for a reduction or deferral of interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial position of the borrower, and (3) loans and leases past due ninety days or more as to principal or interest. A summary of nonperforming loans and leases at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 follows: <TABLE> <CAPTION> (000's) March 31, 2001 December 31, 2000 -------------- ----------------- <S> <C> <C> Nonaccrual loans and leases $10,601 $8,316 Renegotiated loans and leases 126 735 Ninety days past due loans and leases 3,349 5,499 ----- ----- Total nonperforming loans and leases $14,076 $14,550 ======= ======= Ratio of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans and leases 141% 131% </TABLE> The following loan categories comprise significant components of the nonperforming loans at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000. <TABLE> <CAPTION> (000's) (000's) March 31, 2001 December 31, 2000 ------------------- -------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Non-Accrual Loans: 1-4 family residential $ 1,769 17% $ 1,601 19% Commercial loans 8,084 76 6,019 72 Installment loans 748 7 696 9 Other, various -- -- -- -- ------- ------- ------- ------- $10,601 100% $ 8,316 100% ======= ======= ======= ======= Past due 90 days or more: 1-4 family residential $ 1,650 49% $ 1,667 30% Commercial loans 1,125 34 $ 2,986 54 Installment loans 571 17 818 15 Other, various 3 -- 28 1 ------- ------- ------- ------- $ 3,349 100% $ 5,499 100% ======= ======= ======= ======= </TABLE> There are no material industry concentrations within the nonperforming loans. Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity The Corporation charges the nine subsidiary banks with monitoring and managing their individual sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rates and assuring that they have adequate liquidity to meet loan demand or any potential unexpected deposit withdrawals. This function is facilitated by the Asset/Liability Committee (the Committee). The primary goal of the committee is to maximize net interest income within the interest rate risk limits approved by the Board of Directors. This goal is accomplished through management of the subsidiary bank's balance sheet liquidity and interest rate risk exposures due to the changes in economic conditions and interest rate levels. 10
11 Interest Rate Risk and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Management considers interest rate risk to be the Corporation's most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to changes in net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Consistency in the Corporation's net income is largely dependent on the effective management of this risk. The Committee reviews a series of monthly reports to ensure that performance objectives are being met. It monitors and controls interest rate risk through earnings simulation. Simulation modeling measures the effects of changes in interest rates, changes in the shape of the yield curve, and changes in prepayment speeds on net interest income. The primary measure of Interest Rate Risk is "Earnings at Risk." This measure projects the earnings effect of various rate movements over the next three years on net interest income. It is important to note that measures of interest rate risk have limitations and are dependent upon certain assumptions. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely predict the impact of interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, frequency and amount of interest rate changes as well as overall market conditions. The Committee has performed a thorough analysis and believes the assumptions to be valid and theoretically sound. The relationships are continuously monitored for behavioral changes. As outlined in Note 6, the Corporation makes limited use of derivatives to facilitate its interest rate risk management activities. At March 31, 2001, derivatives include a $10 million interest rate swap directly related to a certificate of deposit special and a $50 million interest rate cap designed to help protect net interest income should rates rise significantly in the near term. The Corporation currently does not invest in derivative products for short-term gain, nor is engaged in securities trading activity. The Corporation invests in assets whose value is derived from an underlying asset. These assets include government agency issued mortgage-backed securities. The performance of these assets in changing rate environments and the impact of derivatives are included in the following table. The table below shows the Corporation's estimated earnings sensitivity profile as of March 31, 2001. Given a 100 basis point increase in rates, net interest income would decrease 2.55% over the next 12 months and decrease 4.84% over the second 12 month period. A 100 basis point decrease would result in a 0.20% increase in net interest income over the next 12 months and a 0.17% decrease over the second 12 month period. These estimates assume all rates changed overnight and management took no action as a result of this change. Percentage Change in Net Interest Income Basis Point ---------------------------------------- Interest Rate Change 12 months 24 months 36 months ---------------------------------------- Down 300 -4.89 -5.84 -12.06 Down 200 -1.51 -2.21 -6.34 Down 100 0.20 -0.17 -2.21 Up 100 -2.55 -4.84 -2.84 Up 200 -8.47 -8.87 -4.84 Up 300 -11.98 -12.42 -6.14 The Corporation does have other assets and liabilities, which contain embedded options, most notably callable agency securities and putable Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The securities pay a premium rate and the advances charge a discounted rate in exchange for the option. Therefore, there is a benefit to current income from using these products. Management believes these put and call options are clearly and closely related to the underlying instruments and that they are therefore not considered derivatives. Typical rate shock analysis does not reflect management's ability to react and thereby reduce the effects of rate changes, and represents a worst case scenario. The model assumes no actions are taken and prices change to the full extent of the rate shock. Liquidity Risk Liquidity is measured by each bank's ability to raise funds to meet the obligations from its customers, including deposit withdrawals and credit needs. This is accomplished primarily by maintaining sufficient liquid assets in the form of investment securities and core deposits. The Corporation has $14.4 million of investments that mature throughout the coming 12 months. The Corporation also anticipates $49.8 million of principal payments from mortgage-backed securities. Given the current interest rate environment, the Corporation anticipates $69.3 million of securities to be called within the next 12 months. With these sources of funds, the Corporation currently anticipates adequate liquidity to meet the expected obligations of its customers. 11
12 Financial Condition Strong earnings and unrealized gains on securities increased shareholders' equity 18.9% to $202.6 million as of March 31, 2001 compared to $170.3 million on March 31, 2000. Book value per share increased 20.2% over this same period to $30.26 from $25.19. Total assets increased 2.6% or $50.1 million from March 31, 2000. This growth was in loans which increased 5.0%, or $60.8 million. The Corporation experienced a reduction in total assets of $39.4 million or 1.9% since year end. With lower fixed rates offered in the market recently, the Corporation has sold various mortgage loans in the secondary market which was why loans decreased $9.4 million since year end. Also cash and other assets converted to cash were used to pay down borrowings $10.3 million. There was a reduction in deposits of $41.5 million since year end of which $40.5 million represented certificates of deposits in excess of $100 thousand. Capital Adequacy As of March 31, 2001, the Corporation's leverage ratio was 9.45% compared to 9.33% at December 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001, the Corporation's total risk-based capital ratio, which includes Tier II capital, was 15.22% compared to 15.39% at December 31, 2000. These amounts exceed minimum regulatory capital requirements. 12
