       FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
          Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995
                       (Unaudited)


Note 1  -  Basis of Presentation

     The foregoing consolidated financial statements are
unaudited.  However, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (comprising only normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have
been included.  Results for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year.  The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First
Indiana Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Corporation").  The
principal subsidiary of the Corporation is First Indiana Bank and
its subsidiaries (the "Bank").  A summary of the Corporation's
significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Note 2  -  Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share for 1995 and 1994 are computed by
dividing net earnings by the primary and fully diluted shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during
the period (7,117,287 and 7,133,757 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995; 7,420,148 and 7,437,155 for the three
months ended September 30, 1994;  7,143,741 and 7,204,385 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995; and 7,408,482 and
7,426,825 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994) after
giving retroactive effect to a four-for-three stock split in March
1994.

Note 3 -  Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan

     Allowances have been established for possible losses on
loans and real estate owned ("REO").  The provisions for losses
charged to operations are based on management's judgment of
current circumstances and the credit risk of the loan portfolio and
REO.  Management believes that these allowances are adequate.
While management uses available information to recognize losses
on loans and REO, future additions to the allowances may be
necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examinations, periodically review these allowances and may
require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance
based on their judgment about information available to them at
the time of their examination.

     As of January 1, 1995, the Bank adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan."  Under this standard, loans
considered to be impaired are reduced to the present value of
expected future cash flows or to the fair value of collateral by
allocating a portion of the allowance for loan losses to such loans.
If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require
an increase, allocations are considered in relation to the overall
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and subsequent
adjustments to the loss provision.  Adopting this standard is not
expected to have a material impact on earnings in 1995.


<PAGE> 9

     The recorded investment in impaired loans is periodically
adjusted to reflect cash payments, revised estimates of future cash
flows, and increases in the present value of expected cash flows
due to the passage of time.  Cash payments representing interest
income are reported as such.  Other cash payments are reported
as reductions in recorded investment.  Increases or decreases due
to changes in estimates of future payments and due to the passage
of time are considered in relation to the overall adequacy of the
provision for the allowance for loan losses.

     At September 30, 1995, First Indiana identified an
impaired loan totaling $3,339,575 which had an allocated reserve
of  $166,979.

Note 4 - Current Regulatory Issues

     Bills pending in Congress propose a one-time assessment
on all SAIF-insured deposits in the range of 85 cents to 90 cents
per $100 of domestic deposits.  This one-time assessment is
intended to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund
to the required level of 1.25% of insured deposits, and could be
payable in the fourth quarter of 1995 or early 1996.

     If the assessment is made, the effect on First Indiana
would be a pre-tax charge of approximately $9,300,000, or
$5,200,000 after tax.

Note 5 -  Reclassifications

     Certain amounts in the 1994 Consolidated Financial
Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1995
presentation.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition

Summary of Corporation's Results

     First Indiana Corporation and subsidiaries had net
earnings of $4,174,000 for the third quarter of 1995, compared
with net earnings of $3,002,000 in the third quarter of 1994.
Earnings per share for the three months ended September 30,
1995 were $.59, compared with $.40 per share for the same
period one year ago.

     For the first nine months of 1995, net earnings were
$13,245,000, compared with $7,676,000 one year ago.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 1995, net earnings per share
were $1.84, compared with $1.03 for the same period one year
ago.  Included in net earnings is a first quarter non-recurring
after-tax gain of $914,000, or $.13 per share, from the sale of the
deposits of a banking center in Princeton, Indiana.   Second
quarter earnings were enhanced by an after-tax gain on the sale
of home equity loans totalling $890,000, or $.13 per share.  The
Bank will continue to explore opportunities to sell future home
equity loans as a means of generating servicing fee income.  Cash
dividends per share for the first nine months of 1995 and 1994
were $.42 and $.39 per share, respectively.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income was $14,761,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1995, compared with $12,433,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1994.  For the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, net interest income was $42,554,000,
compared with $36,137,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  The increase in net interest income can be
attributed to loan growth.

     Total loans outstanding grew 22 percent to
$1,235,765,000 at September 30, 1995, compared with
$1,014,503,000 one year earlier.  Much of the Bank's growth
stemmed from two areas targeted for aggressive expansion: home
equity and residential construction loans.  At September 30,
1995, home equity loans outstanding were $440,974,000,
compared with $289,819,000 at September 30, 1994, a 52
percent increase.  Residential construction loans stood at
$148,757,000, compared with $115,299,000 at September 30,
1994, a 29 percent increase.  The Bank is capitalizing on
consumer demand for home equity loans and lines of credit by
offering streamlined approval and no closing costs or annual fees.
These products help maintain the Bank's competitive edge and
further enhance its reputation as an innovative real estate lender.

     Interest income for the third quarter of 1995 was
$31,510,000, compared with $24,637,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1994. Interest income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 was $91,340,000, compared with
$71,035,000 for the same period in 1994.  Interest expense for
the third quarter of 1995 was $16,749,000, compared with
$12,204,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1994.
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
and 1994 was $48,786,000 and $34,898,000.


<PAGE> 11

     During the third quarter of 1995, the Corporation's cost
of funds was 5.27 percent, compared with 4.32 percent one year
ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the cost of
funds was 5.15 percent, compared with 4.17 percent one year
ago. The yield on earning assets was 8.91 percent for the third
quarter of 1995, compared with 7.94 percent one year ago.  For
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the yield on earning
assets was 8.72 percent, compared with 7.72 percent for the same
period in 1994. Growth in higher-yielding loans and lower cost
checking deposits contributed to the stronger margin.

     Annualized return on total average assets was 1.13
percent for the three months ended September 30, 1995,
compared with .91 percent for the same period in 1994.  For the
nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Corporation's
annualized return on total average assets was 1.22 percent,
compared with .78 percent for the same period in 1994.

Net Interest Margin

     Net interest margin consists of two components: interest-rate spread
and the contribution of interest-free funds (primarily capital and other
non-interest-bearing liabilities).

     The following analysis of net interest margin reflects the
favorable impact of the Corporation's asset-sensitive position.

</TABLE>
     Non-performing assets were $27,765,000, or 1.83 percent
of assets, at September 30, 1995.  This compares with
$29,077,000, or 2.08 percent of assets, at December 31, 1994
and $30,153,000, or 2.23 percent of assets, at September 30,
1994.  This category includes not only non-accrual loans and real
estate owned, but also restructured loans on which the Bank
continues to accrue interest.  At September 30, 1995, $6,963,000
of non-performing assets were restructured loans.

     The Bank regularly reviews all non-performing assets to
evaluate the adequacy of the allowances for losses on loans and
REO.  The allowance for loan losses is maintained through a
provision for loan losses, which is charged to earnings.  The
provisions are determined in conjunction with management's
review and evaluation of current economic conditions, changes
in the character and size of the loan portfolio, estimated
charge-offs, and other pertinent information derived from a quarterly
review of the loan portfolio and REO properties.

     The provision for losses on loans and REO in the third
quarter of 1995 was $1,600,000, compared with $900,000 in the
third quarter of 1994.  For the nine months ended September 30,
1995, the total provision for loan losses was $3,850,000,
compared with $2,700,000 for the same period in 1994.  The
Bank raised the provision because of overall loan growth,
especially in consumer loans.  The amount of the provision in
1995 was the result of management's ongoing evaluation of the
adequacy of its loan and real estate owned loss allowances and
the changing composition of the Corporation's loan portfolio and
REO.  Management will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the
provision and will adjust it if necessary to reflect changes in the
amount or category of loans originated.

     Total non-interest income was $3,501,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995, compared with $3,137,000
for the same period in 1994.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, total non-interest income was
$12,804,000 and $7,275,000.  Included in non-interest income in
1995 is an after-tax $914,000 gain from the sale of the deposits
of a banking center in Princeton, Indiana that did not fit
strategically with the Bank's plans for growth.  Additionally, the
Bank sold $44,977,000 in fixed-rate home equity loans during the
second quarter at an after-tax gain of $890,000.

     Loan servicing income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 increased from the comparable period in
1994 principally due to the purchase of additional mortgage loan
servicing rights.  The Bank purchased $310 million in residential
mortgage loan servicing rights in the second quarter of 1995.

     Dividends on Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased
$115,000 and $313,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 compared with the same periods in 1994,
due to an increase in dividend yield and the amount of stock held
by First Indiana.  Insurance commissions increased $129,000 and
$388,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1995.

Non-Interest Expense

     Total non-interest expense was $10,156,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995, compared with $9,849,000
for the same period in 1994.  Non-interest expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 was $30,121,000
and $28,451,000.  Salaries and benefits increased $963,000 and
$2,200,000 during the three and nine months ended September
30, 1995 because of  higher loan commissions associated with the
increased growth in loan production.  Capitalized costs increased
$685,000 and $1,161,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995  compared with a year ago due to increased
consumer loan volume.  Marketing expense increased $506,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 over last year
because of a renewed commitment to research, sales training, and
advertising.  Equipment expense increased $74,000 and $278,000
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995.  This
increase is attributable to improved technology in the Bank's
branches and proof department.

     Included in real estate owned operations-net are all of the
operating revenues and expenses associated with the
Corporation's real estate owned.  Such net results improved by
$225,000 and $652,000 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 from one year ago.  This improvement
reflects a first quarter gain of $713,000 on a payoff of a
commercial real estate REO property.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

     At September 30, 1995,  shareholders' equity was
$125,540,000, or 8.27 percent of total assets, compared with
$120,712,000, or 8.65 percent, at December 31, 1994 and
$118,844,000, or 8.81 percent, at September 30, 1994.  The
slight decrease in the equity-to-asset ratio results from two
factors: increased loan growth and the Corporation's repurchase
of its common stock.

     The Bank continues to exceed all minimum capital
requirements.  At September 30, 1995, the Bank's tangible and
core capital stood at $122,768,000, or 7.98 percent of assets,
$99,700,000 in excess of the 1.50 percent minimum tangible
capital and $76,631,000 in excess of the three percent minimum
required core capital.  Risk-based capital equaled $134,724,000,
or 10.68 percent of risk-weighted assets, $33,826,000 more than
the minimum eight percent risk-based level required.

     The Corporation paid a quarterly dividend of $.14 per
common share September 15, 1995 to shareholders of record
as of September 7, 1995.  This reflects an increase from $.13
per share in 1994.  On March 17, 1994, the Corporation
effected a four-for-three stock split.  All per-share amounts
have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.

     The Corporation conducts its business through its
subsidiaries.  The main source of funds for the Corporation is
dividends from the Bank.  The Corporation has no significant
assets other than its investment in the Bank.

     Regulations of the former Federal Home Loan Bank
Board (the  Bank Board") required thrift institutions to
maintain minimum levels of certain liquid investments, as
defined in the regulations, of at least five percent of net
withdrawable assets.  The director of the OTS shall set
minimum liquidity levels between four and 10 percent of assets.
Current regulations require a minimum liquidity level of five
percent.  The Corporation's liquidity ratio at September 30,
1995, was 5.80 percent.

(1) The distribution of fixed-rate loans is based upon contractual maturity and scheduled contractual repayments
    adjusted for estimated prepayments.  For adjustable-rate loans, interest rates adjust at intervals of six
    months to five years.  Included in Residential Mortgage Loans are $34,207,000 of Loans Held for Resale.  Included in
    Consumer Loans are $24,603,000 of Home Equity Loans Held for Resale.
(2) These deposits have been included in the Over 5 Years category to reflect management's assumption that these accounts
    are not rate-sensitive.  This assumption is based upon historic trends of these deposits through periods of significant
    increases and decreases in interest rates without changes in rates paid on these deposits.  Included in this category
    are NOW, money market checking and non-interest bearing deposits.  The rate represents a blended rate on all deposit
    types in the category.
(3) A portion of these deposits has been included in the Over 5 Years category to reflect management's assumption that these
    accounts are not rate-sensitive.  This assumption is based upon the historic minimal decay rates on these types of deposits
    experienced through periods of significant increases and decreases in interest rates without changes in rates paid on
    these deposits.
(4) Net - Other is the excess of other non-interest-bearing liabilities and capital over other non-interest-bearing assets.

     First Indiana engages in rigorous, formal asset/liability
management, the objectives of which are to manage interest-rate
risk, ensure adequate liquidity, and coordinate sources and uses
of funds.  At September 30, 1995, the Corporation's cumulative
one-year interest-rate gap stood at negative .28 percent.  This
means that .28 percent of First Indiana's liabilities will reprice
within one year without a corresponding repricing of the assets
they are funding.

Financial Condition

     Total assets at September 30, 1995, were
$1,517,920,000, a slight increase from $1,394,881,000 at
December 31, 1994.

     During the third quarter, the Bank sold a corporate debt
security held in portfolio for a loss of ($7,200).  The
deterioriation of the credit quality of the issuer triggered the sale.

     Loans and mortgage-backed securities-net at September
30, 1995, were $1,289,253,000, compared with $1,148,091,000
at December 31, 1994. Consumer loans (consisting mainly of
home equity loans), construction loans and adjustable-rate
mortgage loans, which the Bank retains in its portfolio, accounted
for most of the increase.  Mortgage-backed securities decreased
$16,109,000 due to prepayments.

     In the past nine months, consumer loans grew
$77,603,000. Expansion of consumer loans is one of the main
strategies for improving the Corporation's interest income.
Residential construction loans grew a net $31,587,000 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1995.  The Corporation's loan
servicing portfolio amounted to $1,124,529,000 at September 30,
1995, compared with $830,450,000 at September 30,  1994.

     Total deposits were $1,112,049,000 at September 30,
1995, compared with $1,018,163,000 at December 31, 1994.
Non-interest-bearing deposits consist of retail and commercial
checking accounts.  Commercial checking accounts are expected
to become a more significant source of funds.  Included in
commercial checking accounts at September 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994 were approximately $11,914,000 and
$5,837,000 of escrow balances maintained for loans serviced for
others.  Additional funds were obtained through Federal Home
Loan Bank advances.  Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled
$214,131,000 at September 30, 1995, compared with
$201,155,000 at December 31, 1994.

     In addition to deposits and advances, the Corporation
uses short-term repurchase agreements as sources of funds.
Borrowings will continue to be used in the short run to
compensate for periodic or other reductions in deposits or
inflows at less than projected levels, and long-term to support
mortgage lending activities.
