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. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer, residential real estate and smaller commercial loans are collectively evaluated for impairment and, accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Also included in impaired loans are loans acquired in the First National Bank of Danville acquisition. See Note 9 for further discussion of these loans. Impairment is primarily measured based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. The following table summarizes impaired loan information:

	September 30,		December 31,
(Dollar amounts in thousands)	2011		2010
Loans with no allocated allowance for loan losses	$	1,975	$	11,890
Loans with allocated allowance for loan losses	35,132		25,629
TOTAL	$	37,107	$	37,519

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.

The Corporation has allocated $1.1 million and $657 thousand of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Corporation has not committed to lend additional amounts as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

The Corporation has had one residential loan with a recorded investment of $15 thousand that was modified as a troubled debt restructuring that was charged off during 2011. There have been two commercial loans for $200 thousand and four residential loans for $288 thousand added to restructured loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. There are three modified residential loans for $51 thousand that are 90 days past due. None of these loans have had a material impact on the allowance for loan losses.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Corporation analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial loans, with an outstanding balance greater than $50 thousand. Any consumer loans outstanding to a borrower who had commercial loans analyzed will be similarly risk rated. This analysis is performed on a quarterly basis. The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and debt service capacity of the borrower or of any pledged collateral. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses which have clearly jeopardized repayment of principal and interest as originally intended. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some future loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those graded substandard, with the added characteristic that the severity of the weaknesses makes collection or liquidation in full highly questionable or improbable based upon currently existing facts, conditions, and values.

Furthermore, non-homogeneous loans which were not individually analyzed, but are 90+ days past due or on non-accrual are classified as substandard. Loans included in homogeneous pools, such as residential or consumer may be classified as substandard due to 90+ days delinquency, non-accrual status, bankruptcy, or loan restructuring.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are either less than $50 thousand or are included in groups of homogeneous loans and are evaluated based on past due status. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans are as follows:

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio into two general segments and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. However, certain purchased beneficial interests, including non-agency mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and collateralized debt obligations, that had credit ratings at the time of purchase of below AA are evaluated using the model outlined in FASB ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.

In determining OTTI under the FASB ASC 320 model, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

The second segment of the portfolio uses the OTTI guidance provided by FASB ASC 325 that is specific to purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were rated below AA. Under the FASB ASC 325 model, the Company compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected remaining cash flows. An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.

When OTTI occurs under either model, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost

basis, less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

Gross unrealized losses on investment securities were $7.4 million as of September 30, 2011 and $14.6 million as of December 31, 2010. A majority of these losses represent negative adjustments to market value relative to the illiquidity in the markets on the securities and not losses related to the creditworthiness of the issuer. Based upon our review of the issuers, we do not believe there is further other than temporarily impairment at September 30, 2011 except for the equity securities discussed below. Management does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell them before their anticipated recovery.

A significant portion of the total unrealized loss in investment securities relates to collateralized debt obligations that were separately evaluated under FASB ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. Based upon qualitative considerations, such as a down grade in credit rating or further defaults of underlying issuers during the quarter, and an analysis of expected cash flows, we have determined that four of the CDO’s included in collateralized debt obligations were other-than-temporarily impaired, though no impairment was identified during 2011. Those four CDO’s have a contractual balance of $28.3 million at September 30, 2011 which has been reduced to $7.4 million by $0.5 million of interest payments received, $15.1 million of cumulative OTTI charges recorded through earnings to date, and $5.4 million recorded in other comprehensive income ($3.2 million after tax effect). The severity of the OTTI recorded varies by security, based on the analysis described below, and ranges at September 30, 2011 from 28% to 87%. The OTTI recorded in other comprehensive income represents OTTI due to factors other than credit loss, mainly current market illiquidity. The issuers in these securities are primarily banks, but some of the pools do include a limited number of insurance companies. The market for these securities has become very illiquid, there are very few new issuances of trust preferred securities and the credit spreads implied by current prices have increased dramatically and remain very high, resulting in significant non-credit related impairment. The Company uses the OTTI evaluation model to compare the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to ensure there are no adverse changes in cash flows during the quarter. The OTTI model considers the structure and term of the CDO and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically, the model details interest rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation of the payments to the note classes. Cash flows are projected using a forward rate LIBOR curve, as these CDOs are variable rate instruments. An average rate is then computed using this same forward rate curve to determine an appropriate discount rate (3 month LIBOR plus margin ranging from 160 to 180 basis points). The current estimate of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults of underlying trust preferred securities. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates and prepayments. In addition we use the model to “stress” each CDO, or make assumptions more severe than expected activity, to determine the degree to which assumptions could deteriorate before the CDO could no longer fully support repayment of the Company’s note class.

Collateralized debt obligations include an investment in a CDO consisting of pooled trust preferred securities in which the issuers are primarily banks. This CDO with an amortized cost of $1.3 million and a fair value of $901 thousand is rated BAA3 and is the senior tranche, is not in the scope of FASB ASC 325, as it was rated high investment grade at purchase, and is not considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired based on its credit quality. Its fair value is negatively impacted by the factors described above.

Management has consistently used Standard & Poors pricing to value these investments. There are a number of other pricing sources available to determine fair value for these investments. These sources utilize a variety of methods to determine fair value. The result is a wide range of estimates of fair value for these securities. The Standard & Poors pricing ranges from 21.1 to 68.8 while Moody Investor Service pricing ranges from 0.46 to 86.38, with others falling somewhere in between. We recognize that the Standard & Poors pricing utilized is an estimate, but have been consistent in using this source and its estimate of fair value.

Equity securities relate to investments in bank stocks held at the holding company. In 2010 the Corporation liquidated a majority of what was held in equity securities to reduce borrowings. In the first three months of 2011 one of the three remaining bank stocks was disposed of at a gain. In the second quarter the Corporation recognized other-than-temporary impairment on one of the remaining two equities in the amount of $97 thousand. In the third quarter the Corporation recognized additional other-than-temporary impairment on one of the remaining two equities in the amount of $13 thousand. Bank stock values have been negatively impacted by the current economic environment and market pessimism. The other bank stock holding has an unrealized gain.

4. Fair Value

FASB ASC No. 820-10 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.

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).

For those securities that cannot be priced using quoted market prices or observable inputs a Level 3 valuation is determined. These securities are primarily trust preferred securities, which are priced using Level 3 due to current market illiquidity and certain investments in bank equities. The fair value of the trust preferred securities is computed based upon discounted cash flows estimated using interest rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation to the note classes. Current estimates of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information, including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults of underlying issuers. The payment, default and recovery assumptions are believed to reflect the assumptions of market participants. Cash flows are discounted at appropriate market rates, including consideration of credit spreads and illiquidity discounts. The fair value of investments in bank equities is based on the prices of recent stock trades and is considered Level 3 because these stocks are not publicly traded.

The fair value of derivatives is based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2 inputs).

There were no unrealized gains and losses recorded in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 for Level 3 assets and liabilities that are still held at September 30, 2011. Losses reported in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are from assets still held at September 30, 2010.

The fair value for certain local municipal securities with a fair value of $6.5 million as of June 30, 2011 was transferred out of Level 2 and into Level 3 because of a lack of observable market data for these investments due to a decrease in the market activity for this security. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, there was an additional $203 thousand of local municipal securities transferred out of level 2 into level 3 because of a lack of observable market data for these investments due to a decrease in the market activity for this security.

All impaired loans disclosed in footnote 2 are valued at Level 3 and are carried at a fair value of $29.8 million, net of a valuation allowance of $7.3 million at September 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010 impaired loans valued at Level 3 were carried at a fair value of $31.6 million, net of a valuation allowance of $5.9 million. The impact to the provision for loan losses was $376 and $(95) thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, and was $866 thousand and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing those loans, and is determined using several methods. Generally the fair value of real estate is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are shown below. Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt and variable-rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values were described previously. For fixed-rate loans or deposits, variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, and for longer-term borrowings, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values of loans held for sale are based on market bids on the loans or similar loans. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance sheet items is not considered material.

Employer Contributions

First Financial Corporation previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 that it expected to contribute $4.9 and $1.4 million respectively to its Pension Plan and ESOP and $210,000 to the Post Retirement Health Benefits Plan in 2011. Contributions of $6.4 million have been made through the first nine months of 2011 for the Pension Plan. Contributions of $174 thousand have been made through the third quarter of 2011 for the Post Retirement Health Benefits plan.

8. New accounting standards

In April 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance for assisting a creditor in determining whether a restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments clarify the guidance for a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. With regard to determining whether a concession has been granted, the ASU clarifies that creditors are precluded from using the effective interest method to determine whether a concession has been granted. In the absence of using the effective interest method, a creditor must now focus on other considerations such as the value of the underlying collateral, evaluation of other collateral or guarantees, the debtor’s ability to access other funds at market rates, interest rate increases and whether the restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. For purposes of measuring impairment on newly identified troubled debt restructurings, the amendments should be applied prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. This amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

In June 2011, the FASB amended existing guidance and eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in shareholder’s equity. The amendment requires that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate statements. The amendments in this guidance are effective as of the beginning of a fiscal reporting year, and interim periods within that year, that begins after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this amendment will change the presentation of the components of comprehensive income for the Corporation as part of the consolidated statement of shareholder’s equity.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance relating to goodwill impairment testing. The amendments in this update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The more likely than not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss. This update is effective for the Company for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements, but it is not expected to have a material impact.

9. Acquisitions

On July 2, 2009, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to assume all of the deposits (excluding brokered deposits) and certain assets of The First National Bank of Danville.,

a full service commercial bank headquartered in Danville, Illinois that had failed and been placed in receivership with the FDIC. The acquisition consisted of assets with a fair value of approximately $151.8 million, including $77.5 million of loans, $24.2 million of investment securities, $31.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $146.3 million in liabilities, including $145.7 million of deposits. A customer-related core deposit intangible asset of $4.6 million was also recorded. In addition to the excess of liabilities over assets, the Bank received approximately $14.6 million in cash from the FDIC and entered into a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC. Under the loss sharing agreement, the Bank will share in the losses on assets covered under the agreement (referred to as covered assets). On losses up to $29 million, the FDIC has agreed to reimburse the Bank for 80 percent of the losses. On losses exceeding $29 million, the FDIC has agreed to reimburse the bank for 95 percent of the losses. The loss sharing agreement is subject to following servicing procedures as specified in the agreement with the FDIC. Loans acquired that are subject to the loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC are referred to as covered loans for disclosure purposes. Since the acquisition date the Bank has been reimbursed $14.3 million for losses and carrying expenses and currently carries a balance of $3.8 million for expected future reimbursements. Included in the current balance is the estimate of $1.0 million for 80% of the loans subject to the loss-sharing agreement identified in the allowance for loan loss evaluation as expected loan losses.

FASB ASC 310-30 “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” applies to a loan with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. FASB ASC 310-30 prohibits carrying over or creating an allowance for loan losses upon initial recognition. The carrying amount of covered assets at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, consisted of loans accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30, loans not subject to FASB ASC 310-30 and other assets as shown in the following table:

On the acquisition date, the preliminary estimate of the contractually required payments receivable for all ASC 310-30 loans acquired in the acquisition were $31.6 million, the cash flows expected to be collected were $18.4 million including interest, and the estimated fair value of the loans were $16.7 million. These amounts were determined based upon the estimated remaining life of the underlying loans, which include the effects of estimated prepayments. At September 30, 2011, a majority of these loans were valued based on the liquidation value of the underlying collateral, because the expected cash flows are primarily based on the liquidation of underlying collateral and the timing and amount of the cash flows could not be reasonably estimated. There was $1.1 million allowance for credit losses related to these loans at September 30, 2011. On the acquisition date, the preliminary estimate of the contractually required payments receivable for all Non FASB ASC 310-30 loans acquired in the acquisition were $58.4 million and the estimated fair value of the loans were $60.7 million.

On October 11, 2011 the Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the stock of Freestar Bank and certain liabilities of PNB Holding Co. located in Pontiac Illinois. Freestar Bank has assets of approximately $400 million and 13 offices located in east-central Illinois. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, First Financial Corporation will pay PNB Holding cash in the amount of $47 million and assume liabilities of PNB Holding Co. totaling approximately $8.2 million. The transaction value may change due to fluctuations in the tangible book value of PNB Holding, determined as of the time of closing to the effective date of the transaction. If PNB Holding’s tangible book value is less than $28,431,000, the purchase price will decrease by an amount equal to 1.657 times the difference between PNB Holding’s tangible book value and $28,431,000. If PNB Holding’s tangible book value is greater than $28,987,000, the purchase price will increase by an amount equal to 1.657 times the difference between PNB Holding’s tangible book value and $28,987,000.

The transaction is expected to close by December 31, 2011, and is subject to approval by regulatory authorities, PNB Holding’s shareholders and the satisfaction of the closing conditions provided in the acquisition agreement. First Financial Corporation anticipates that it will merge Freestar Bank into First Financial Bank soon after the closing of the transaction.

ITEMS 2. and 3. 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 2010 filed as an exhibit to the Corporation’s 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance, nor should they be relied upon as representing management’s views as of any subsequent date. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation, the Corporation’s ability to effectively execute its business plans; changes in general economic and financial market conditions; changes in interest rates; changes in the competitive environment; continuing consolidation in the financial services industry; new litigation or changes in existing litigation; losses, customer bankruptcy, claims and assessments; changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting the Corporation’s business; and changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other regulatory agencies. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements is available in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and subsequent filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Copies of these filings are available at no cost on the SEC’s Web site at www.sec.gov or on the Corporation’s Web site at www.first-online.com. Management may elect to update forward-looking statements at some future point; however, it specifically disclaims any obligation to do so.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of the Corporation’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, without limitation, changes in interest rates, in the performance of the economy or in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of goodwill and valuing investment securities. See further discussion of these critical accounting policies in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Summary of Operating Results

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $9.8 and $27.0 million respectively compared to $6.3 and $19.7 million for the same period of 2010. Basic earnings per share increased to $0.75 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $0.48 for same period of 2010. Return on Assets and Return on Equity were 1.57% and 11.32% respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 0.99%and 7.79% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

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 $251 thousand in the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $24.9 million from $24.7 million in the same period in 2010. The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2011 is 4.50% compared to 4.39% for the same period of 2010, a 2.5% increase, driven by a greater decline in the costs of funding than the decline in the income realized on earning assets.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $8.9 million compared to the $7.3 million for the same period of 2010. During the current quarter the Corporation realized a $928 thousand gain on the exchange of bank owned life insurance policies. During the three months ended September 30, 2010 there was $859 thousand loss on investments from other-than-temporary impairment compared to $13 thousand during the current quarter.

Non-Interest Expenses

The Corporation’s non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 decreased by $2.0 million compared to the same period in 2010. FDIC insurance expense reductions realized from the new assessment calculations based on assets rather than deposits during the current quarter accounted for $596 thousand of reduced expense. Incentive expenses in 2010 did not start being accrued until the third quarter of 2010 as the previous incentive plan had expired at the end of 2009 and the current incentive plan was just beginning to take shape at the beginning of the third quarter of 2010. 2011 incentive expense estimates are being spread over 12 months while 2010 were spread over 6 months.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Corporation’s provision for loan losses decreased $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. Net charge offs for this period were reduced by $1.2 million. The provision was $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $7.0 million for the same period of 2010, while net charge-offs for the same periods decreased by $2.2 million. The volume of impaired and non-accrual loans have increased modestly, primarily due to increases in smaller balance non-accrual loans. The allowance for loan losses has increased to 1.33% of loans at September 30, 2011 compared to 1.22% at September 30, 2010. Based on management’s analysis of the current portfolio, an evaluation that includes consideration of historical loss experience, non-performing loans trends, and probable incurred losses on identified problem loans, management believes the allowance is adequate.

Non-performing Loans

Non-performing loans consist of (1) non-accrual loans on which the ultimate collectability of the full amount of interest is uncertain, (2) loans 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 past due ninety days or more as to principal or interest. A summary of non-performing loans at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 follows:

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity

First Financial Corporation has established risk measures, limits and policy guidelines for managing interest rate risk and liquidity. Responsibility for management of these functions resides with the Asset Liability Committee. The primary goal of the Asset Liability Committee is to maximize net interest income within the interest rate risk limits approved by the Board of Directors.

Interest Rate 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 interest income is largely dependent on the effective management of this risk.

The Asset Liability position is measured using sophisticated risk management tools, including earning simulation and market value of equity sensitivity analysis. These tools allow management to quantify and monitor both short-term and long-term exposure to interest rate risk. Simulation modeling measures the effects of changes in interest rates, changes in the shape of the yield curve and the effects of embedded options on net interest income. This measure projects earnings in the various environments over the next three years. It is important to note that measures of interest rate risk have limitations and are dependent on various 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 of these assumptions and believes them to be valid and theoretically sound. These assumptions are continuously monitored for behavioral changes.

The Corporation from time to time utilizes derivatives to manage interest rate risk. Management continuously evaluates the merits of such interest rate risk products but does not anticipate the use of such products to become a major part of the Corporation’s risk management strategy.

Table of Contents

The table below shows the Corporation’s estimated sensitivity profile as of September 30, 2011. The change in interest rates assumes a parallel shift in interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points. Given a 100 basis point increase in rates, net interest income would increase 1.21% over the next 12 months and increase 4.20% over the following 12 months. Given a 100 basis point decrease in rates, net interest income would decrease 1.08% over the next 12 months and decrease 3.20% over the following 12 months. These estimates assume all rate changes occur overnight and management takes no action as a result of this change.

Basis Point	Percentage Change in Net Interest Income
Interest Rate Change	12 months		24 months		36 months
Down 200	-2.45	%	-7.15	%	-10.34	%
Down 100	-1.08		-3.20		-4.61
Up 100	1.21		4.20		7.06
Up 200	1.70		7.21		12.89

Typical rate shock analysis does not reflect management’s ability to react and thereby reduce the effect of rate changes, and represents a worst-case scenario.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity is measured by each bank’s ability to raise funds to meet the obligations of 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 $6.5 million of investments that mature throughout the coming 12 months. The Corporation also anticipates $97.5 million of principal payments from mortgage-backed securities. Given the current rate environment, the Corporation anticipates $10.8 million in 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.

Financial Condition

Comparing the third quarter of 2011 to the same period in 2010, loans, net of unearned discount are up $18.0 million to $1.66 billion. Deposits are up $9.3 million at September 30, 2011 to $1.93 billion. Shareholders’ equity increased $28.9 million from September 30, 2010. This financial performance increased book value per share 8.5% to $27.11 at September 30, 2011 from $25.00 at September 30, 2010. Book value per share is calculated by dividing the total shareholders’ equity by the number of shares outstanding.

Capital Adequacy

As of September 30, 2011, the most recent notification from the respective regulatory agencies categorized the subsidiary banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the bank’s category. Below are the capital ratios for the Corporation and lead bank.

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010		To Be Well Capitalized

Total risk-based capital
Corporation	18.92	%	17.82	%	N/A
First Financial Bank	18.40	%	17.29	%	10.00	%

Tier I risk-based capital
Corporation	17.77	%	16.66	%	N/A
First Financial Bank	17.38	%	16.26	%	6.00	%

Tier I leverage capital
Corporation	13.74	%	12.68	%	N/A
First Financial Bank	13.38	%	12.37	%	5.00	%

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

First Financial Corporation’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of September 30, 2011, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011 were effective in ensuring material information required to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis. Additionally, there was no change in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
