NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying September 30, 2015 and 2014 consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The December 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements are as reported in the First Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) 2014 annual report. The information presented does not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The following notes should be read together with notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

1. | Significant Accounting Policies

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. Some items in the prior year financials were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
The Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan is a long-term incentive plan that was designed to align the interests of participants with the interests of shareholders. Under the plan, awards may be made based on certain performance measures. The grants are made in restricted stock units that are subject to a vesting schedule. These shares vest over 3 years in increments of 33%, 33%, and 34% respectively. In 2015 and 2014, 19,683 and 22,019 shares were awarded, respectively. These shares had a grant date value of $667 thousand and $708 thousand for 2015 and 2014, vest over three years and their grant is not subject to future performance measures. Outstanding shares are increased at the award date for the total shares awarded.

Modification of the terms of such loans typically include one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. No modification in 2015 or 2014 resulted in the permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. Modifications involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan were for periods ranging from twelve months to five years. Modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for periods ranging from twelve months to ten years. Troubled debt restructurings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 did not result in any material charge-offs or additional provision expense.
The Corporation has allocated $36 thousand and $81 thousand of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings at both September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Corporation has not committed to lend additional amounts as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings. The charge-offs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were not of any restructurings that had taken place in the previous 12 months.

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 $100 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 $100 thousand or are included in groups of homogeneous loans. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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.
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
19

Table of Contents
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 $4.3 million as of September 30, 2015 and $8.2 million as of December 31, 2014. A majority of these losses represent negative adjustments to market value relative to the interest rate environment reflecting the increase in market rates and not losses related to the creditworthiness of the issuer. Based upon our review of the issuers, we do not believe these investments to be other than temporarily impaired. 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.
There are three collateralized debt obligations securities with previously recorded OTTI but there is no OTTI in 2015 or 2014.
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 44.9 to 63.8 while Moody Investor Service pricing ranges from 7.2 to 16.3, 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.

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 most 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 state and municipal securities. The fair value of the trust preferred securities is obtained from a third party provider without adjustment. As described previously, management obtains values from other pricing sources to validate the Standard &

Poors pricing that they currently utilize. The fair value of state and municipal obligations are derived by comparing the securities to current market rates plus an appropriate credit spread to determine an estimated value. Illiquidity spreads are then considered. Credit reviews are performed on each of the issuers. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s state and municipal obligations are credit spreads related to specific issuers. Significantly higher credit spread assumptions would result in significantly lower fair value measurement. Conversely, significantly lower credit spreads would result in a significantly higher fair value measurements.
The fair value of derivatives is based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2 inputs).

Impaired loans disclosed in footnote 2, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral, are valued at Level 3. They are carried at a fair value of $3.0 million, after a valuation allowance of $1.2 million at September 30, 2015 and at a fair value of $11.5 million, net of a valuation allowance of $1.9 million at December 31, 2014. The impact to the provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and for the 12 months ended December 31, 2014 was a $221 thousand decrease and a $1.2 million decrease, respectively. Other real estate owned is valued at Level 3. Other real estate owned at September 30, 2015 with a value of $3.4 million was reduced $0.7 million for fair value adjustment. At September 30, 2015 other real estate owned was comprised of $2.8 million from commercial loans and $0.6 million from residential loans. Other real estate owned at December 31, 2014 with a value of $4.0 million was reduced $1.1 million for fair value adjustment. At December 31, 2014 other real estate owned was comprised of $3.0 million from commercial loans and $1.0 million from residential loans.
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. Appraisals for real estate generally use three methods to derive value: cost, sales or market comparison and income approach. The cost method bases value on the cost to replace current property. The market comparison evaluates the sales price of similar properties in the same market area. The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and the investor’s required return. The final fair value is based on a reconciliation of these three approaches. If an appraisal is not available, the fair value may be determined by using a cash flow analysis, a broker’s opinion of value, the net present value of future cash flows, or an observable market price from an active market. Fair value of other real estate is based upon the current appraised values of the properties as determined by qualified licensed appraisers and the Company’s judgment of other relevant market conditions. Appraisals are obtained annually and reductions in value are recorded as a valuation through a charge to expense. The primary unobservable input used by management in estimating fair value are additional discounts to the appraised value to consider market conditions and the age of the appraisal, which are based on management’s past experience in resolving these types of properties. These discounts range from 0% to 50%. Values for non-real estate collateral, such as business equipment, are based on appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers or the customers financial statements. Values for non real estate collateral use much higher discounts that real estate collateral. Other real estate and impaired loans carried at fair value are primarily comprised of smaller balance properties.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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, non-impaired 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 considering credit risk. The valuation of impaired loans was described previously. Loan fair value estimates do not necessarily represent an exit price. 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 Federal Home Loan Bank 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.

5. | Short-Term Borrowings

Period–end short-term borrowings were comprised of the following:

| (000 's)
| September 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Federal Funds Purchased | $ | 550 |  |  | $ | 21,192 |
Repurchase Agreements | 22,786 |  |  | 26,823 |
| $ | 23,336 |  |  | $ | 48,015 |

The Corporation enters into sales of securities under agreements to repurchase. The amounts received under these agreements represent short-term borrowings and are reflected as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The securities underlying these agreements are included in investment securities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation has no control over the market value of the securities, which fluctuates due to market conditions. However, the Corporation is obligated to promptly transfer additional securities if the market value of the securities falls below the repurchase agreement price. The Corporation manages this risk by maintaining an unpledged securities portfolio that it believes is sufficient to cover a decline in the market value of the securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

Employer Contributions
First Financial Corporation previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 that it expected to contribute $1.8 million and $1.1 million respectively to its Pension Plan and ESOP and $247 thousand to the Post Retirement Health Benefits Plan in 2015. Contributions of $1.3 million have been made to the Pension Plan thus far in 2015. Contributions of $161 thousand have been made through the first nine months of 2015 for the Post Retirement Health Benefits plan. No contributions have been made in 2015 for the ESOP. The Pension plan was frozen for most employees at the end of 2012 and for those employees there will be discretionary contributions to the ESOP plan and a 401K plan in place of the former Pension benefit. In the first nine months of 2015 and 2014 there has been $1.1 million and $1.0 million of expense accrued for potential contributions to these alternative retirement benefit options.

7. | New accounting standards

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (the "IASB") jointly issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Previous revenue recognition guidance in GAAP comprised broad revenue recognition concepts together with numerous revenue requirements for particular industries or transactions, which sometimes resulted in different accounting for economically similar transactions. In contrast, IFRS provided limited revenue recognition guidance and, consequently, could be difficult to apply to complex transactions. Accordingly, the FASB and the IASB initiated a joint project to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS that would: (1) Remove inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements; (2) Provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues; (3) Improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets; (4) Provide more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements; and (5) Simplify the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. To meet those objectives, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies generally will be required to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The standard is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. The Corporation is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 and will be closely monitoring developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. This ASU requires that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized if certain conditions are met in the case of government guarantees. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU has not had a significant impact on the Corporation's financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, "Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures." The new guidance aligns the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financings with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. Going forward, these transactions would all be accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and supersedes the guidance under which a transfer of a financial asset and a contemporaneous repurchase financing could be accounted for on a combined basis as a forward agreement, which has resulted in outcomes referred to as off-balance-sheet accounting. The amendments in the ASU require a new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. The amendments in the ASU also require expanded disclosures, effective for the current reporting period of June 30, 2015, about the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Corporation adopted the amendments in this ASU effective January 1, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, all of the Company's repurchase agreements were typical in nature (i.e., not repurchase-to-maturity transactions or repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing) and are accounted for as secured borrowings. As such, the adoption of ASU No. 2014-11 did not have a material impact on the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements.

8. | Acquisitions and FDIC Indemnification Asset

The Bank is party to a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC as a result of a 2009 acquisition. Under the loss-sharing agreement (“LSA”), 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 $19.4 million for losses and carrying expenses and currently carries an immaterial balance in the indemnification asset. The balance of loans covered by the loss share agreement at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 totaled $6.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The only loans still covered by the loss share agreement are the single family loans; however recoveries on non-single family loans are still subject to sharing with the FDIC until 2017.
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 loans accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 310-30 at September 30, 2015 and 2014 are shown in the following table:

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 financial statements for 2014 in the 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, 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 2014 Form 10-K.
Summary of Operating Results
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $8.4 million, compared to $8.3 million for the same period of 2014. Basic earnings per share increased to $0.65 for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $0.62 for same period of 2014. Return on Assets and Return on Equity were 1.14% and 8.36% respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 1.10% and 8.27% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $23.1 million, compared to $24.6 million for the same period of 2014. Basic earnings per share decreased to $1.79 for the nine months ended September, 30, 2015 compared to $1.85 for same period of 2014. Return on Assets and Return on Equity were 1.03% and 7.61% respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 1.08% and 8.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
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 decreased $0.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015 to $26.6 million from $27.1 million in the same period in 2014. The net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is 4.12% compared to 4.15% for the same period of 2014, a .03% decrease, driven by a greater decline in the income realized on earning assets than the decline in costs of funding. Net interest income decreased $2.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $78.5 million from $80.9 million in the same period in 2014. The net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is 4.04% compared to 4.11% for the same period of 2014, a .07% decrease, driven by a greater decline in the income realized on earning assets than the decline in costs of funding.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $10.0 million compared to $10.5 million for the same period of 2014. Gain on the sale of mortgages increased $92 thousand. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts decreased by $125 thousand and other service fees increased by $64 thousand. Insurance commission income decreased by $398 thousand for the 3 months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014. Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $29.8 million compared to $29.9 million for the same period of 2014.
Non-Interest Expenses
The Corporation’s non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 increased by $553 thousand to $24.2 million compared to the same period in 2014. Salaries and employee benefits increased $882 thousand driven by normal merit increases and increased pension expense due in part to lower discount rates used in determining the liability as well as the use of the new RP-2014 Mortality Table. The pension plan was frozen for the majority of employees as of December 31, 2012. The Corporation’s efficiency ratio was 63.42% for the quarter ending September 30, 2015 versus 63.00% for the same period in 2014. The Corporation’s non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased by $1.2 million to $73.5 million compared to the same period in 2014.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The Corporation’s provision for loan losses decreased $456 thousand to $1.05 million for third quarter of 2015 compared to $1.5 million for the same period of 2014. Net charge offs for the third quarter of 2015 were $985 thousand compared to $2.3 million for the same period of 2014. During 2015, the specific allocations for impaired loans decreased as compared to the same period of 2014. The unallocated allocation decreased to $1.0 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $2.1 million for the same period of 2014. The Corporation’s provision for loan losses increased $540 thousand to $3.6 million for nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $3.1 million for the same period of 2014. The allowance for loan losses has increased to $19.9 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $18.8 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in the allowance was based on an increase in loans classified as substandard. 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. Non-performing loans decreased to $27.6 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $30.6 million at December 31, 2014. Nonperforming loans decreased 19.4% to $27.6 million as of September 30, 2015 versus $34.2 million as of September 30, 2014. A summary of non-performing loans at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 follows:

| (000's)
| September 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014

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.
The table below shows the Corporation’s estimated sensitivity profile as of September 30, 2015. 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 2.48% over the next 12 months and increase 5.83% over the following 12 months. Given a 100 basis point decrease in rates, net interest income would decrease 0.40% over the next 12 months and decrease 1.64% 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 |  | -0.70 | % |  | -2.92 | % |  | -4.90 | %
Down 100 |  | -0.40 |  |  | -1.64 |  |  | -2.78 |
Up 100 |  | 2.48 |  |  | 5.83 |  |  | 9.69 |
Up 200 |  | 1.83 |  |  | 8.07 |  |  | 15.66 |

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 represents an institution’s ability to provide funds to satisfy demands from depositors, borrowers, and other creditors by either converting assets into cash or accessing new or existing sources of incremental funds. Generally the Corporation relies on deposits, loan repayments and repayments of investment securities as its primary sources of funds. The Corporation has $3.4 million of investments that mature throughout the next 12 months. The Corporation also anticipates $123.9 million of principal payments from mortgage-backed securities. Given the current rate environment, the Corporation anticipates $21.1 million in securities to be called within the next 12 months. The Corporation also has unused borrowing capacity available with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and several correspondent banks. With these many sources of funds, the Corporation currently anticipates adequate liquidity to meet the expected obligations of its customers.

Financial Condition
Comparing the first nine months of 2015 to the same period in 2014, loans, net of deferred loan costs, have decreased to $1.77 billion from $1.81 billion. Deposits remained stable at $2.4 billion at September 30, 2015, substantially the same as at September 30, 2014. Shareholders' equity increased 1.2% or $4.7 million. This financial performance increased book value per share 3.2% to $32.16 at September 30, 2015 from $31.16 at September 30, 2014. Book value per share is calculated by dividing the total shareholders' equity by the number of shares outstanding.
Capital Adequacy
The Federal Reserve, OCC and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (collectively, joint agencies) establish regulatory capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations. Regulatory capital guidelines require that capital be measured in relation to the credit and market risks of both on- and off-balance sheet items using various risk weights. On January 1, 2015, the Basel 3 rules became effective and include transition provisions through January 1, 2019. Under Basel 3, Total capital consists of two tiers of capital, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 capital is further composed of Common equity tier 1 capital and additional tier 1 capital.
Common equity tier 1 capital primarily includes qualifying common shareholders’ equity, retained earnings and certain minority interests. Goodwill, disallowed intangible assets and certain disallowed deferred tax assets are excluded from Common equity tier 1 capital.
Additional tier 1 capital primarily includes qualifying non-cumulative preferred stock, trust preferred securities (Trust Securities) subject to phase-out and certain minority interests. Certain deferred tax assets are also excluded.
Tier 2 capital primarily consists of qualifying subordinated debt, a limited portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses, Trust Securities subject to phase-out and reserves for unfunded lending commitments. The Corporation’s Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital.
To meet adequately capitalized regulatory requirements, an institution must maintain a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0 percent and a Total capital ratio of 8.0 percent. A “well-capitalized” institution must generally maintain capital ratios 200 bps higher than the minimum guidelines. The risk-based capital rules have been further supplemented by a Tier 1 leverage ratio, defined as Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average total assets, after certain adjustments. BHCs must have a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4.0 percent. National banks must maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 5.0 percent to be classified as “well capitalized.” Failure to meet the capital requirements established by the joint agencies can lead to certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial position. Below are the capital ratios for the Corporation and lead bank.

| September 30, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014 |  | To Be Well Capitalized
Common equity tier 1 capital |  |  |  |  |
Corporation | 17.73 | % |  | 16.99 | % |  | N/A |
First Financial Bank | 17.08 | % |  | 16.36 | % |  | 6.50 | %
