     FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         Three Months Ended March 31, 1996
                    (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 consolida-
ted 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, 1995.

Note 2  -  Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share for 1996 and 1995 are computed by dividing net
earnings by the primary and fully diluted shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding during the period (8,583,895 and 8,592,210 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 8,706,911 and 8,722,420 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995) after giving retroactive effect to a
six-for-five stock split in March 1996.

Note 3 -  Allowance for Loan Loss Reserve

     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 judgments about information available to them at the time of their
examination.

Note 4 - Current Accounting Pronouncements

     The Bank originates mortgage loans for sale to the secondary market,
and sells the loans with servicing either retained or released.  Effective
January 1, 1996, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" (FAS 122).  For servicing
retained loan sales, this Statement requires capitalization of the cost of
mortgage servicing rights, regardless of whether those rights were acquired
through purchase or origination activities.  Prior to adoption of FAS 122, only
purchased loan servicing rights were capitalized.

<PAGE> 8

     Beginning in 1996, the total cost of mortgage loans originated with the
intent to sell is allocated between the loan servicing right and the mortgage
loan without servicing based on their relative fair values at the date of sale.
The capitalized cost of loan servicing rights is amortized in proportion to,
and over the period of, estimated net servicing revenue.  For this purpose,
estimated servicing revenues include late charges and other ancillary income.
Estimated servicing costs include direct costs associated with performing the
servicing function and appropriate allocations of other costs.

     Mortgage servicing rights are periodically evaluated for impairment by
stratifying them based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying
serviced loans.  These risk characteristics include loan type (fixed or
adjustable rate), investor type (FHLMC, GNMA, private),  term,  and note rate.
Impairment represents the excess of cost of an individual mortgage servicing
rights stratum over its fair value, and is recognized through a valuation
allowance.

     Fair values for individual stratum are based on the present value of
estimated future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risks
involved.  Estimates of fair value include assumptions about prepayment,
default and interest rates, and other factors which are subject to change over
time.  Changes in these underlying assumptions could cause the fair value of
loan servicing rights, and the related valuation allowance, to change
significantly in the future.  As of March 31, 1996, the balance of capitalized
loan servicing rights was $286,000.

Note 5 - Current Regulatory Issues

     Legislation pending in Congress proposes a one-time assessment on all
SAIF-insured deposits in the range of $.85  to $.90 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 1996.  The legislation is currently awaiting the budget
reconciliation between the Executive Branch and the Congress, and to date has
not been included in any of the budget reconciliation bills.

     If the assessment is made, the effect on First Indiana would be a pre-tax
charge of approximately $8,900,000.  The Bank's well-capitalized ranking
would not be adversely affected.

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
$4,509,000 for the first quarter of 1996, compared with net earnings of
$4,300,000 in the first quarter of 1995.  Earnings per share for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 were $.52, compared with $.49 per share for the
same period one year ago.   Cash dividends per share for the first three months
of 1996 and 1995 were $.14 and $.11 per share, respectively.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income was $15,740,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996, compared with $13,525,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995.   The increase in net interest income can be attributed to loan growth
and a favorable interest-rate environment.

     Total loans outstanding grew four percent to $1,215,124,000 at March
31, 1996, compared with $1,173,705,000 one year earlier.  Much of the Bank's
growth stemmed from three areas targeted for expansion: home equity, business
and residential construction loans.  At March 31, 1996, home equity loans
outstanding were $473,846,000, compared with $381,817,000 at March 31,
1995, a 24 percent increase.  Business and land development loans were
$77,114,000 at March 31, 1996, compared with $44,111,000 one year earlier,
a 75 percent increase. Residential construction loans stood at $139,988,000,
compared with $135,847,000 at March 31, 1995, a three 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 first quarter of 1996 was $32,235,000,
compared with $28,652,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 was $16,495,000, compared with
$15,127,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation's cost of funds was
5.21 percent, compared with 4.93 percent one year ago.  The yield on earning
assets was 9.01 percent for the first quarter of 1996, compared with 8.45
percent one year ago. Growth in higher-yielding loans contributed to the
stronger margin.

     Annualized return on total average assets was 1.21 percent for the three
months ended March  31, 1996, compared with 1.22 percent for the same
period in 1995.

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 $26,806,000, or 1.82 percent of assets, at
March 31, 1996.  This compares with $27,165,000, or 1.78 percent of assets,
at December 31, 1995 and $27,769,000, or 1.88 percent of assets, at March 31,
1995.  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 March 31, 1996, $5,892,000 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

<PAGE> 11

quarterly review of the loan portfolio and REO properties.

     The provision for losses on loans and REO in the first quarter of 1996
was $1,925,000, compared with $900,000 in the first quarter of 1995.  The
increase is attributable to greater originations of higher loan-to-value home
equity loans and to an increase in delinquencies in the Bank's portfolio of
home equity and automobile loans. At March 31, 1996, home equity delinquencies
increased to  2.08 percent of the total home equity portfolio, an increase of
approximately 17 percent from year-end 1995 levels.  While management
believes that these portfolios have strong credit quality, it recognizes the
increased risk of such portfolios compared to traditional residential
portfolios, and has increased the Bank's loan loss provision accordingly.
The increased charge-offs in the first quarter of 1996 are reflective of the
significant increase in home equity loans outstanding. The Bank discontinued
the indirect automobile lending business in 1994, and the non-performing auto
loans remaining in the Bank's portfolio represent lingering delinquencies and
an increase in charge-offs. The amount of the provision in 1996 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.

Non-Interest Income

     Total non-interest income was $4,525,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared with $4,385,000 for the same period in 1995.

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Bank sold three of its investments
available for sale at a gain of $208,000.  This compares with the $51,000 loss
recognized in the first quarter of 1995 on investment sales.

     The Bank realized $407,000 on the sale of approximately $24,428,000
in fixed-rate home equity loans in the first quarter of 1996.  The remaining
gain on sale of loans of $686,000 is attributable to the sale of residential
mortgage loans in the normal course of the Bank's mortgage banking operations.
These items were offset in 1995 by a gain of $1,497,000 from the sale of
approximately $25,462,000 of the Bank's deposits.

     Loan servicing income for the three months ended March 31, 1996
decreased from the comparable period in 1995 principally due to amortization
of purchased and originated mortgage servicing right assets.  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 $53,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 compared with the same periods in 1995,
due to an increase in dividend yield and the amount of stock held by First
Indiana.  Insurance commissions increased $141,000 for the three  months
ended March 31, 1996.  The Bank also recognized prepayment penalty income
of $144,000 during the first quarter of 1996.

<PAGE> 12

Non-Interest Expense

     Total non-interest expense was $11,099,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared with $9,962,000 for the same period in 1995.
Salaries and benefits increased $69,000  during the three months ended March
31, 1996 because of  higher loan commissions associated with the increased
growth in consumer loan production.  Capitalized costs increased $298,000
over the first quarter of 1995 due to increased consumer loan volume.
Marketing expense increased $85,000  over the first quarter of 1995 because
of a renewed commitment to research, sales training, and advertising.  Due to
the increased consumer loan volume, other operating expenses, such as
temporary help and home equity lending expenses, increased approximately
$150,000 over 1995 levels.

     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 declined by $719,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 from one year ago.  This decline reflects a 1995 first quarter gain of
$713,000 on a payoff of a commercial real estate REO property.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

     At March 31, 1996,  shareholders' equity was $132,245,000, or 8.95
percent of total assets, compared with $129,297,000, or 8.48 percent, at
December 31, 1995 and $117,941,000, or 8.00 percent, at March 31, 1995.

     The Bank continues to exceed all minimum capital requirements.  At
March 31, 1996, the Bank's tangible and core capital stood at $ 129,343,000,
or 8.68 percent of assets, $106,985,000 in excess of the 1.50 percent minimum
tangible capital and $84,626,000 in excess of the three percent minimum
required core capital.  Risk-based capital equaled $142,861,000, or 12.19
percent of risk-weighted assets, $49,211,000 more than the minimum eight
percent risk-based level required.

     The Corporation paid a quarterly dividend of $.14 per common share
March 18, 1996 to shareholders of record as of March 4, 1996.  This reflects
an increase from $.11 per share in 1995.  On March 1, 1996, the
Corporation effected a six-for-five 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.

     The director of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") is required
under applicable law to set standards requiring thrift institutions to maintain
minimum levels of certain liquid investments 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 net withdrawable assets.  Current
regulations require a minimum liquidity level of five percent.  The
Corporation's liquidity ratio at March 31, 1996, was 10.50 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 $38,896,000 of Loans Held for Sale.  Included in
     Consumer Loans are $17,600,000 of Home Equity Loans Held for Sale.
(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 March 31, 1996, the
Corporation's cumulative one-year interest-rate gap stood at 5.47 percent.
This means that 5.47 percent of First Indiana's assets will reprice within one
year without a corresponding repricing of the liabilities funding them.

Financial Condition

     Total assets at March 31, 1996, were $1,476,879,000, a decrease from
$1,523,949,000 at December 31, 1995.

     Loans and mortgage-backed securities-net at March 31, 1996, were
$1,215,124,000, compared with $1,250,726,000 at December 31, 1995.
Mortgage-backed securities decreased $3,449,000 due to prepayments.

     In the past three months, consumer loans decreased $21,872,000,
mainly because of the sale of fixed-rate home equity loans during the quarter.
The Corporation's residential loan servicing portfolio amounted to
$1,111,790,000 at March 31, 1996, compared with $789,985,000 at March 31,
1995.

     Total deposits were $1,119,824,000 at March 31, 1996, compared with
$1,119,086,000 at December 31, 1995. 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 March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were
approximately $10,429,000 and $6,815,000 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
$175,465,000 at March 31, 1996, compared with $214,781,000 at December
31, 1995.

     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.
