TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION AND THE SOMERSET GROUP, INC.:


    The boards of directors of First Indiana Corporation and The Somerset
Group, Inc. have unanimously approved an agreement to merge Somerset with and
into First Indiana. Somerset currently owns approximately 22% of the outstanding
common stock of First Indiana.

    If we complete the merger, each shareholder of Somerset will have the option
of receiving 1.21 shares of First Indiana common stock per Somerset share, or
$24.70 in cash per Somerset share, or a combination of each, for shares of
Somerset stock owned as of the effective date of the merger. However, the number
of shares that can be exchanged for cash will be limited to no more than 35% of
Somerset's shares outstanding as of the effective date.


    First Indiana common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market System
under the symbol "FISB." The closing price of First Indiana common stock on
August 11, 2000, was $19.75 per share.



    Somerset common stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market System under
the symbol "SOMR." The closing price of Somerset common stock on August 11,
2000, was $24.13 per share.


    This document gives you detailed information about the merger and includes a
copy of the merger agreement. You should read it carefully. It is a joint proxy
statement that both companies are using to solicit proxies for use at their
special shareholder meetings. It is also a prospectus relating to First
Indiana's issuance of up to 3,716,733 shares of common stock in connection with
the merger. Before you make a decision on how to vote on the merger, you should
consider the "Risk Factors" beginning on page 12 of the attached joint proxy
statement and prospectus.

    We are enthusiastic about the merger and the strengths and capabilities we
will have as a combined company. I join all of the other members of each
company's board of directors in recommending that you vote in favor of the
merger.

                     QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER

Q: WHEN AND WHERE ARE THE SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS?


A: The Somerset special shareholder meeting will be held on September 26, 2000
    at 10:00 a.m., local time. The First Indiana special shareholder meeting
    will be held on September 26, 2000 at 2:00 p.m., local time. Both meetings
    will be held at First Indiana Plaza, 7th Floor, 135 North Pennsylvania
    Street, Indianapolis, Indiana.


Q: WHAT WILL I RECEIVE IN THE MERGER?

A: For each share of Somerset common stock you own before the merger, you will
    have the right to elect, on a share-by-share basis, to receive:

    - 1.21 shares of First Indiana common stock; or

    - $24.70 in cash.

    Somerset shareholders may elect to receive First Indiana common stock for
    some of their Somerset shares and cash for the balance of their Somerset
    shares. The merger agreement provides that First Indiana common stock must
    be issued for at least 65% of the total Somerset shares. If Somerset
    shareholders elect to receive First Indiana common stock representing less
    than 65% of the total Somerset shares, your election may be subject to
    proration as described on pages 36 to 37. As a result of the proration, you
    may not receive cash to the full extent that you elect that form of merger
    consideration.

    The following table illustrates the approximate value of what a holder of
    100 shares of Somerset common stock will receive in the merger, assuming
    varying final First Indiana stock prices and different percentages of cash
    and First Indiana common stock. You should bear in mind that the value of
    First Indiana common stock is subject to market fluctuations and, therefore,
    the value of a share of First Indiana common stock as of the effective date
    of the merger and after the merger may well differ from the value of such
    stock set forth below. This table uses hypothetical final First Indiana
    stock prices.

Q: WILL FIRST INDIANA SHAREHOLDERS RECEIVE ANY SHARES OR CASH AS A RESULT OF THE
    MERGER?

A: No. First Indiana shareholders will continue to own the same number of First
    Indiana shares they owned before the effectiveness of the merger.

Q: WHY ARE THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS OF SOMERSET AND FIRST INDIANA RECOMMENDING
    THAT I VOTE FOR THE MERGER?

    unanimously recommended that the Somerset board of directors approve and
    adopt the merger and the merger agreement.

                                       1

    Similarly, a special committee comprised of independent directors of First
    Indiana has unanimously recommended that the First Indiana board of
    directors approve and adopt the merger and the merger agreement.

        After receiving the unanimous recommendations of their respective
    special committees, the boards of directors of Somerset and First Indiana
    determined that the approval and adoption of the merger and the merger
    agreement are in the best interests of their respective shareholders. Each
    board of directors unanimously approved and adopted the merger and the
    merger agreement and recommends that you approve the merger and the merger
    agreement. To review the background and reasons for the merger in greater
    detail, see the sections entitled "The Merger and the Merger
    Agreement--Background of the Merger," "The Merger and the Merger
    Agreement--Somerset's Reasons for the Merger" and "The Merger and the Merger
    Agreement--First Indiana's Reasons for the Merger."

        The Somerset special committee and board of directors were advised by
    McDonald Investments Inc., which delivered a fairness opinion with respect
    to Somerset shareholders in connection with the merger. The First Indiana
    special committee and board of directors were advised by Keefe, Bruyette &
    Woods, Inc., which delivered a fairness opinion with respect to First
    Indiana shareholders in connection with the merger. For more detailed
    descriptions of these fairness opinions, see the sections entitled "The
    Merger and the Merger Agreement--Opinion of Financial Advisor to Somerset"
    and "The Merger and the Merger Agreement--Opinion of Financial Advisor to
    First Indiana."

Q: WILL I HAVE DISSENTER'S RIGHTS?

A: No. Under the law of Indiana, the state of incorporation for both Somerset
    and First Indiana, neither Somerset shareholders nor First Indiana
    shareholders have any dissenters' rights or other rights to demand fair
    value in cash as a result of the merger.

Q: WHEN DO YOU EXPECT TO COMPLETE THE MERGER?


A: We are working to complete the merger as quickly as possible. We expect that
    the merger will become effective after approval by the shareholders of
    Somerset and First Indiana at the special meetings and after other
    conditions to the merger have been satisfied. We currently believe that the
    merger will be completed in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter
    of 2000.


Q: WHAT ARE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER?

A: We have structured the merger so that First Indiana, Somerset and our
    respective shareholders will not recognize any gain or loss for federal
    income tax purposes on the exchange of Somerset shares for First Indiana
    shares in the merger. Taxable income will result, however, to the extent a
    Somerset shareholder elects to receive cash instead of First Indiana stock
    or receives cash in lieu of First Indiana fractional shares and the cash
    received exceeds the shareholder's adjusted basis. As part of the closing,
    each company will receive opinions confirming these tax consequences. See
    "The Merger and the Merger Agreement--Material U.S. Federal Income Tax
    Consequences of the Merger."

Q: WHAT DO I NEED TO DO NOW?


A: After reading this joint proxy statement and prospectus, just mail your
    signed proxy card in the enclosed return envelope as soon as possible, so
    that your shares can be voted at the September 26, 2000 Somerset shareholder
    meeting, if you are a Somerset shareholder, or at the September 26, 2000
    First Indiana shareholder meeting, if you are a First Indiana shareholder.
    If you are a Somerset shareholder, you should also complete your election
    form to specify the type of merger consideration you prefer (or provide
    instructions to your broker if you hold your shares in


                                       2
<PAGE>

    "street name"). You should follow the instructions on the election form to
    submit your stock certificates.


Q: IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN "STREET NAME" BY MY BROKER, WILL MY BROKER VOTE MY
    SHARES FOR ME?

A: Your broker will vote your shares only if you provide instructions to your
    broker on how to vote. You should contact your broker and ask what
    directions your broker will need from you. Your broker will not be able to
    vote your shares without instructions from you.

Q: CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE MAILED MY SIGNED PROXY CARD?

A: Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the
    applicable shareholder meeting. You can do this in one of three ways. First,
    you can send a written notice stating that you revoke your proxy. Second,
    you can complete and submit a new proxy card, dated a later date than the
    first proxy card. Third, you can attend the appropriate meeting and vote in
    person. Your attendance at the shareholder meeting will not, however, by
    itself revoke your proxy. If you hold your shares in "street name" and have
    instructed your broker to vote your shares, you must follow directions
    received from your broker to change those instructions.

Q: SHOULD I SEND IN MY STOCK CERTIFICATES NOW?

A: If you are a Somerset shareholder, written instructions are enclosed for
    electing your preferred form of merger consideration and exchanging your
    Somerset common shares for First Indiana common shares and any cash payments
    you may be entitled to receive. If you are a First Indiana shareholder, you
    should retain your certificates, as you will continue to hold the First
    Indiana shares you currently own.

Q: HOW DO I ELECT THE FORM OF PAYMENT THAT I PREFER?


A: Forms of election are enclosed with this proxy statement and prospectus. If
    you wish to make an election, you should complete this form and send it in
    the envelope provided with the form of election to the exchange agent,
    Harris Trust Company of New York. For you to make an effective election,
    your properly executed election form must be received by the exchange agent
    before the election deadline specified in the election form. You must
    include your Somerset stock certificates with your election form. If you
    hold your shares in street name with a broker, you should ask your broker
    for instructions on tendering your Somerset shares. Please read the
    instructions to the election form for information on completing the form.
    These instructions will also inform you what to do if your stock
    certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed.


Q: WHICH FORM OF PAYMENT SHOULD I CHOOSE? WHY?

A: The form of payment you should elect will depend upon your personal financial
    and tax circumstances. We urge you to consult your financial or tax advisor
    if you have questions about the form of payment you should elect.

Q: WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DON'T MAKE AN ELECTION AS TO ALL OF MY SOMERSET SHARES?

A: If elections for 65% or more of the outstanding Somerset shares have been
    made to receive First Indiana common stock, you will receive cash for your
    Somerset shares for which you made no election. However, if elections for
    less than 65% of the outstanding Somerset shares have been made to receive
    First Indiana common stock, the exchange agent will allocate First Indiana
    common stock pro rata among Somerset shares as to which no election has been
    made in order to cause at least 65% of the outstanding Somerset shares to be
    exchanged for First Indiana common stock.

                                       3
<PAGE>
Q: IF I AM VOTING AGAINST THE MERGER, SHOULD I STILL MAKE AN ELECTION?

A: Yes. If the merger is approved by the First Indiana and Somerset shareholders
    and becomes effective, you will receive payment based on the election form
    you submit. If you fail to submit an election form, your Somerset shares
    will be treated as described in the preceding answer.

Q: CAN I CHANGE MY ELECTION?

A: Yes. You can change your election by submitting a new election form to the
    exchange agent so it is received prior to the election deadline set forth on
    the election form. After the election deadline, no changes may be made.

Q: WHOM SHOULD I CALL IF I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS?


A: If you are a Somerset shareholder and you have more questions about the
    merger, you should contact Morrow & Co., Inc., the Information Agent for the
    merger, at (800) 566-9061. Banks and brokerage firms should call

                           FIRST INDIANA AND SOMERSET


    First Indiana is a nondiversified, unitary savings and loan holding company
whose principal asset is the outstanding stock of First Indiana Bank, which
offers a full range of banking services in metropolitan Indianapolis and other
parts of Central Indiana, and also originates home equity loans indirectly
throughout the United States. First Indiana has approximately $2.1 billion in
assets at June 30, 2000 and is the largest publicly held bank based in
Indianapolis.


    Somerset is a comprehensive financial services company offering a number of
specialty consulting and advisory services and investment and insurance products
to the general public. It operates an insurance and investment products
division, a financial services division offering a variety of financial
consulting services and an information technology subsidiary which provides
information technology consulting to the general public. Somerset also owns
approximately 22% of the outstanding common stock of First Indiana.

                RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FIRST INDIANA AND SOMERSET

    In addition to Somerset's ownership of First Indiana common stock, First
Indiana and Somerset currently share certain officers, directors and major
shareholders, including:

    - Robert H. McKinney is the Chairman of both First Indiana and Somerset, and
      his daughter, Marni McKinney, is the Vice Chairman and Chief Executive
      officer of both First Indiana and Somerset;

    - Robert H. McKinney, Marni McKinney and Michael L. Smith are directors of
      both First Indiana and Somerset; and

    - Robert H. McKinney, Marni McKinney and various trusts for the benefit of
      the McKinney family beneficially own approximately 5.6% of First Indiana's
      outstanding common stock (not including common stock owned by Somerset)
      and approximately 43.6% of Somerset's outstanding common stock.

To address these conflicts of interest, the boards of directors of First Indiana
and Somerset appointed special committees of independent directors to consider
and make a recommendation on the merger proposal. For information regarding the
effect of the proposed merger on the ownership of First Indiana common stock by
First Indiana and Somerset officers and directors, see "Holders of First Indiana
Securities."

                        THE SOMERSET SHAREHOLDER MEETING


    - Somerset's special meeting of shareholders is scheduled to be held at
      10:00 a.m., local time, on September 26, 2000 at First Indiana Plaza,
      7th Floor, 135 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, Indiana.



    - Somerset's board of directors has fixed the close of business on
      August 11, 2000 as the record date for the determination of Somerset
      shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at Somerset's special
      meeting of shareholders.


    - The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding
      Somerset common shares is required to approve the merger and the merger
      agreement. The members of the Somerset board of directors, who hold
      approximately 50.2% of the outstanding shares of Somerset common stock,
      have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the merger and the merger
      agreement.

RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE MERGER AND APPROVE

    FIRST INDIANA'S SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, AS WELL AS THE
ENTIRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, BELIEVES THAT THE MERGER IS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST AND
RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE MERGER AND APPROVE
AND ADOPT THE MERGER AGREEMENT.

                                   THE MERGER

    STRUCTURE OF THE MERGER.  The merger agreement provides for a transaction in
which Somerset will merge into First Indiana. First Indiana's current intention
is to then transfer the assets of Somerset into a wholly owned subsidiary of
First Indiana.

    MERGER CONSIDERATION.  At the effective time of the merger, each share of
issued and outstanding Somerset common stock will be converted into the right to
receive, at the election of each Somerset shareholder, either

    - 1.21 shares of First Indiana common stock (sometimes referred to as the
      "exchange ratio"); or

    - $24.70 in cash.

Somerset shareholders may also elect a combination of First Indiana common stock
and cash for their shares. First Indiana and Somerset have agreed that, in the
aggregate, no less than 65% of the outstanding shares of Somerset common stock
will be converted into First Indiana common stock and no more than 35% of the
outstanding shares of Somerset common stock will be converted into cash. If
Somerset shareholders request cash for more than 35% of the outstanding Somerset
shares, their requests will be subject to proration. See "The Merger and the
Merger Agreement--Election and Allocation Procedures."

    OPINIONS OF FINANCIAL ADVISORS.  Somerset was advised by McDonald
Investments Inc., which delivered a fairness opinion with respect to Somerset
shareholders in connection with the merger. First Indiana was advised by Keefe,
Bruyette & Woods, Inc., which delivered a fairness opinion with respect to First
Indiana shareholders in connection with the merger. Copies of these fairness

respect to the merger.


    REGULATORY NOTICES AND APPROVALS.  First Indiana and Somerset are both
registered savings and loan holding companies. First Indiana and Somerset have
requested approval of the merger from the Office of Thrift Supervision. These
approvals require consideration of the competitive effect of the merger, the
managerial and financial resources and future prospects of the resulting
organization and various other factors. The Office of Thrift Supervision
approved the merger on August 9, 2000.


                               VOTING AGREEMENTS


    At the same time the merger agreement was signed, the members of the
Somerset board of directors, who hold approximately 51.9% of the outstanding
Somerset common shares, entered into voting agreements with First Indiana in
which the holders agreed to vote their shares (and to use their best efforts to
cause jointly held shares or other shares as to which he or she has voting
control to be voted) in favor of the merger and the merger agreement.

    The following unaudited pro forma combined selected financial data present
unaudited pro forma operating data for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
the year ended December 31, 1999, giving effect to the merger as if the merger
had been consummated on January 1, 2000 and January 1, 1999, and unaudited pro
forma balance sheet data at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, giving effect
to the merger as if the merger had been consummated on these dates. The pro
forma information reflects the purchase method of accounting. See Pro Forma
Condensed Combined Financial Statements which appear elsewhere in this proxy
statement and prospectus.


    The following unaudited pro forma financial data are based on certain
assumptions and are not indicative of the results which actually would have
occurred if the merger had been consummated on the dates indicated or which may
be obtained in the future.


    The following table compares selected pro forma combined data assuming stock
and cash combinations of 80%-20%, 90%-10%, and 65%-35% at and for the periods
ended June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.


    You should read this summary pro forma data in conjunction with the
historical financial information which appears elsewhere in this proxy statement

                           COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA

    Summarized below is the historical per share information for First Indiana
and Somerset, as well as per share information on a combined pro forma basis and
combined equivalent pro forma basis. The combined pro forma summary amounts are
based on the purchase method of accounting. The Somerset per share combined pro
forma equivalents are calculated by multiplying the combined pro forma per share
amounts by 1.21. Somerset shareholders who so elect will receive 1.21 First
Indiana common shares in exchange for each Somerset common share. These amounts
also assume that 80% of Somerset's common shares are exchanged for First Indiana
shares and 20% of Somerset's common shares are exchanged for $24.70 in cash. The
following information should be read together with the historical and pro forma
condensed combined financial statements included in this joint proxy statement
and prospectus.

    On April 18, 2000, the last trading day prior to the announcement of the
signing of the merger agreement, the closing price of a First Indiana common
share was $17.75. On the same day, the closing price of a Somerset common share
was $17.50. The equivalent per share value of a Somerset common share on that
date, applying the exchange ratio per share, was $21.48.

                                  RISK FACTORS

DUE TO CHANGES IN THE MARKET PRICE OF FIRST INDIANA COMMON STOCK, SOMERSET
SHAREHOLDERS WHO ELECT TO RECEIVE FIRST INDIANA COMMON STOCK CANNOT BE SURE OF
THE VALUE OF THE COMMON STOCK THEY WILL RECEIVE.

    The value of First Indiana common shares and Somerset common shares at the
effective time of the merger may be different from the price and value of these
securities on the date the merger consideration was determined or on the date of
the special shareholder meetings. This difference could be caused by changes in
the operations and prospects of First Indiana or Somerset, general market and
economic conditions or other factors which are beyond the control of either
party.

    We urge you to obtain current market quotations for First Indiana common
shares and Somerset common shares.

SOME OF THE DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF FIRST INDIANA AND SOMERSET HAVE
A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN CONSIDERING THE MERGER.

    In considering the recommendations of the boards of directors of First
Indiana and Somerset, shareholders should be aware that Robert H. McKinney,
Marni McKinney and Michael Smith, who are members of the board of directors of
Somerset, are also members of the board of directors of First Indiana and these
directors and other Somerset directors own stock in First Indiana. In addition,
Robert H. McKinney and Marni McKinney are executive officers of both Somerset
and First Indiana. Persons who are members of the boards of directors of both
companies, own stock in both companies or hold executive offices in both
companies may have interests that differ from the interests of First Indiana and
Somerset shareholders generally. In their capacities as directors and executive
officers of First Indiana and Somerset, each of these persons has a fiduciary
duty to represent the best interests of the shareholders of the respective
companies.

    To address these conflicts of interest, the boards of directors of First
Indiana and Somerset appointed special committees of independent directors to
consider and make a recommendation on the merger proposal.

THE FAIRNESS OPINIONS OBTAINED BY FIRST INDIANA AND SOMERSET WILL NOT REFLECT
CHANGES IN THE RELATIVE VALUES OF THE COMPANIES SINCE THEY WERE OBTAINED.

    First Indiana does not intend to obtain an updated fairness opinion of
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., and Somerset does not intend to obtain an updated
fairness opinion of McDonald Investments Inc. Changes in the operations and
prospects of First Indiana and Somerset, general market and economic conditions
and other factors which are beyond the control of First Indiana or Somerset, on
which the opinions of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods and McDonald Investments are
based, may have altered the relative value of the companies. Therefore, the
opinions of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods and McDonald Investments do not address the
fairness of the merger consideration at the time the merger will be completed.

REGULATORY AGENCIES MAY IMPOSE CONDITIONS ON APPROVALS RELATING TO THE MERGER.

    A condition to First Indiana's and Somerset's obligations to complete the
merger is that First Indiana receives, without any restrictions or conditions,
all required regulatory consents and approvals. Additionally, First Indiana and
Somerset have agreed to cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best
efforts to obtain all such regulatory consents and approvals.

                                       12
<PAGE>
EITHER FIRST INDIANA OR SOMERSET MAY WAIVE CONDITIONS TO COMPLETION OF THE
MERGER, OR THEY MAY JOINTLY AMEND OR TERMINATE THE MERGER AGREEMENT.

    First Indiana and Somerset may jointly amend the merger agreement, and
either of them may waive its right to require the other party to adhere to the
terms and conditions of the agreement. However, they may not do so without
additional approval of Somerset shareholders if Indiana law requires the
particular amendment or waiver to obtain further approval of the Somerset
shareholders.

    It is a condition to completion of the transactions that First Indiana and
Somerset receive an opinion or opinions that the transactions constitutes a
"reorganization" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code, and, in the
case of Somerset, that no gain or loss will be recognized by Somerset
shareholders with respect to the First Indiana common stock received in exchange
for their shares. The parties have received such opinions, which they expect to
be updated and issued again at the time they complete the merger. The parties
will not waive this condition.

    First Indiana and Somerset can agree at any time to terminate the merger
without completing the transaction. Also, either of First Indiana or Somerset
can decide to terminate the agreement without the consent of the other in
circumstances specified in the merger agreement. In the event that First Indiana
or Somerset terminates the merger as a result of withdrawal or adverse
modification of the recommendation of the other party's board of directors that
the merger be approved, or in the event Somerset terminates the merger due to
its acceptance of an acquisition proposal which its board of directors considers
to be superior, the terminating party must pay a termination fee of $1,000,000
to the other party.

CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES MAY REDUCE FIRST INDIANA'S NET INTEREST INCOME.

    First Indiana realizes a major part of its income from the differential or
"spread" between the interest it earns on its assets, such as loans and
investments, and the interest it pays on its liabilities, such as deposits and
borrowings. Differences between the maturity and repricing terms of these assets
and liabilities affect the size of the spread. In general, First Indiana's
interest-bearing liabilities reprice or mature sooner than its interest-earning
assets. This means that higher interest rates may decrease the spread and reduce
First Indiana's net interest income. If interest rates decline, however, First
Indiana's loans and investments may, on average, reprice sooner than its
deposits or be prepaid earlier than expected, which may also decrease the spread
and lower First Indiana's net interest income. In addition, changes in the
relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates (known as the
"yield curve") or changes in the relationship between First Indiana's funding
costs and the return on its loans and other investments can adversely impact
First Indiana's net interest spread and net interest income.

    First Indiana uses a variety of techniques to try to reduce its exposure to
interest rate fluctuations, but it cannot eliminate this risk.

FIRST INDIANA'S SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN AND ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS IN FIRST
INDIANA'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BY-LAWS MAY DISCOURAGE A THIRD PARTY
FROM OFFERING TO ACQUIRE FIRST INDIANA'S SHARES AT A PREMIUM.

    Certain provisions of First Indiana's articles of incorporation and bylaws
could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire,
or discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of First Indiana's
outstanding capital stock and could make it more difficult to consummate certain
types of transactions involving an actual or potential change of control in
First Indiana, such as a merger, tender offer or proxy contest. Shares of First
Indiana's preferred stock may be issued in the future without further
shareholder approval and upon such terms and conditions, and having such rights,
privileges and preferences, as First Indiana's board of directors may determine.
First Indiana's board of directors may create and issue a series of preferred
stock with rights, privileges or preferences

                                       13
<PAGE>
that have the effect of discriminating against an existing or prospective
shareholder if that shareholder owns or commences a tender offer for a
substantial amount of First Indiana's common stock. This action may, in turn,
delay, discourage or prevent a change of control of First Indiana without any
action by First Indiana's shareholders. In addition, First Indiana has a
shareholder rights plan which may result in substantial dilution to a person or
group that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding First Indiana common stock or
commences a tender or exchange offer unless the rights issued under the
shareholder rights plan are first redeemed by the First Indiana board of
directors. As a result of the shareholder rights plan and the provisions
mentioned above, First Indiana's shareholders may fail to receive any premium
above the market price of First Indiana's stock offered by a third party
attempting to acquire control of First Indiana.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS COULD PROVE TO BE INACCURATE.

    - there may be increases in competitive pressure among financial
      institutions;

    - changes in the interest rate environment may reduce interest margins;

RECORD DATE AND VOTING RIGHTS


    Somerset's board of directors has fixed the close of business on August 11,
2000 as the record date for the determination of Somerset shareholders entitled
to notice of and to vote at Somerset's special meeting of shareholders. Brokers
who hold shares of Somerset common stock as nominees will not have discretionary
authority to vote such shares in the absence of instructions from the beneficial
owners. Proxies submitted by brokers that do not indicate a vote for the merger
proposal because the holders do not have discretionary voting authority and have
not received instructions from the beneficial owners on how to vote on those
proposals are called "broker non-votes." Abstentions and broker non-votes will
be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present but will not
be voted for or against the proposals and will therefore have the same effect as
a vote against the merger proposal because a majority of the outstanding
Somerset common shares must approve the merger.


VOTE REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL


    The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding
Somerset common shares is required to approve the merger and the merger
agreement. As of July 31, 2000, Somerset officers and directors beneficially
owned approximately 51.9% of the outstanding Somerset common shares.


VOTING AGREEMENTS


    As a condition and an inducement to First Indiana to enter into the merger
agreement, the directors of Somerset, who are entitled to vote approximately
50.8% of the outstanding shares of Somerset common stock, have agreed to vote
their shares (and to use their best efforts to cause shares jointly held by them
or as to which they having voting control to be voted) in favor of approval of
the merger agreement. These persons have also agreed not to sell or otherwise
transfer any Somerset shares owned by them with the purpose of avoiding this
agreement.


                       THE FIRST INDIANA SPECIAL MEETING

                      THE MERGER AND THE MERGER AGREEMENT

DESCRIPTION OF THE MERGER

    The merger agreement provides for a transaction in which Somerset will merge
into First Indiana. First Indiana will be the surviving corporation of the
merger. At the effective time of the merger (as described below), each share of
issued and outstanding Somerset common stock will cease to be outstanding and
(excluding any shares held by Somerset or First Indiana or their subsidiaries
except shares held by First Indiana in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction
of a debt) will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of each
Somerset shareholder, either (1) 1.21 (the "Exchange Ratio") shares of First
Indiana common stock (the "Per Share Stock Consideration") or (2) $24.70 in cash
(the "Per Share Cash Consideration"). Somerset shareholders may also elect a
combination of First Indiana common stock and cash for their shares. First
Indiana and Somerset have agreed that, in the aggregate, at least 65% of the
outstanding shares of Somerset common stock will be converted into First Indiana
common stock and no more than 35% of the outstanding shares of Somerset common
stock will be converted into cash. Therefore, Somerset shareholders who elect
cash for some or all of their shares may receive a different combination of cash
and First Indiana common stock for their shares than they elected based on the
choices made by the other Somerset shareholders. First Indiana currently intends
to transfer the business of Somerset into a wholly owned subsidiary of First
Indiana following the effectiveness of the merger.

BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER

    Over the past 15 years, Somerset has at various times purchased the common
stock of First Indiana and now owns approximately 22% of the outstanding First
Indiana common stock. The chairman and the vice chairman/chief executive officer
of Somerset are also the chairman and vice chairman/chief executive officer,
respectively, of First Indiana. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1999, the
management of First Indiana and Somerset began an informal evaluation of the
financial and competitive status of First Indiana and Somerset and Somerset's
interest in First Indiana. Based on this evaluation, senior management of First
Indiana and Somerset concluded that operational efficiencies and other savings
could be obtained by operating as a single public company instead of as two
separate public companies. In addition, with the passage in 1999 of the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed the historic separation between
commercial banks and securities firms and liberalized the rules on bank holding
company activities, management of First Indiana concluded that First Indiana
could be at a competitive disadvantage as other financial institutions began
offering customers a broad array of financial products and services, including
products and services of the type that Somerset currently offers.

    On January 12, 2000, Robert H. McKinney, the chairman of both First Indiana
and Somerset, presented to the First Indiana board of directors the possibility
of a merger of Somerset with and into First Indiana. The board of directors
appointed Gerald L. Bepko, Phyllis W. Minott and John W. Wynne as a special
committee of independent directors to represent the interests of the
shareholders of First Indiana other than Somerset, Mr. McKinney and his family
and their affiliates in the proposed transaction. The board of directors
authorized the special committee to:

    - investigate the desirability of a transaction in which Somerset would
      merge with and into First Indiana or a subsidiary of First Indiana for
      cash, First Indiana common stock or a combination of cash and stock;

    - retain an independent financial advisor to assist it in its deliberations;

    - establish the price to be paid in cash and the exchange ratio for any
      exchange of stock to be delivered to Somerset shareholders in any
      transaction that the special committee might recommend;

                                       19
<PAGE>
    - make a recommendation to the full board of directors of First Indiana
      regarding the advisability of a transaction, the form of the transaction
      and the amount and form of consideration to be paid to Somerset
      shareholders in the transaction; and

    - take such other actions as might be necessary.

The special committee was authorized to negotiate a fair price and other terms
in relation to the proposed merger of Somerset and First Indiana. It was not
specifically authorized to pursue alternatives to the proposed merger.
Ms. Minott agreed to serve as the chairman of the First Indiana special
committee.

    Similarly, at a special meeting of the board of directors held on
January 12, 2000, Mr. McKinney presented the merger proposal to the Somerset
board of directors. The Somerset board of directors appointed Gary L. Light,
Douglas W. Huemme and Malcolm A. Leslie as a special committee of independent
directors to represent the interests of the shareholders of Somerset other than
Mr. McKinney, his family and their affiliates in the proposed transaction. The
board of directors authorized the special committee to:

    - evaluate on behalf of the Somerset shareholders a proposal expected from
      First Indiana concerning a merger of Somerset with and into First Indiana
      or a subsidiary of First Indiana for cash, First Indiana common stock or a
      combination of cash and stock;

    - employ independent counsel and an independent financial advisor to assist
      it in its deliberations;

    - investigate relevant facts relating to the proposal and to consider
      whether alternative steps should be taken by Somerset to maximize
      shareholder value;

    - report its recommendations to the full board of directors of Somerset; and

    - take such other actions as might be necessary.

Mr. Light agreed to serve as the chairman of the Somerset special committee.

    On January 21, 2000 and January 26, 2000, the Somerset special committee
employed Barnes & Thornburg and McDonald Investments as its legal and financial
advisors and met with McDonald Investments and legal counsel to discuss
procedures to be followed by the special committee in carrying out its
responsibilities, appropriate actions to be taken by that committee and the
terms of the engagement of McDonald Investments and Barnes & Thornburg. The
special committee also discussed with McDonald Investments McDonald's proposed
valuation methodologies.

    Over the course of the following three months, the First Indiana special
committee and management of First Indiana supplied information to Keefe,
Bruyette in order to obtain a valuation of Somerset which the First Indiana
special committee could use as a basis for proposing terms of a merger to
Somerset. At the same time, the Somerset special committee and management of
Somerset supplied information to McDonald Investments in order to obtain a
valuation of Somerset which the Somerset special committee could use to evaluate
any merger proposal from First Indiana.

    In early April, 2000, Somerset's legal counsel and McDonald Investments were
provided with drafts of a proposed merger agreement containing provisions other
than the consideration to be paid to Somerset shareholders, and discussions were
held between representatives of Somerset and First Indiana regarding the
non-economic terms of the proposed transaction.

    On April 11, 2000, the First Indiana special committee met to hear a report
from Keefe, Bruyette and to review a draft of a merger agreement prepared by
First Indiana's legal counsel. Keefe, Bruyette reviewed First Indiana's business
operations, financial statements and financial projections and continued with a
financial analysis, including stock price performance and comparisons, market
valuations and a peer group analysis for Somerset. Keefe, Bruyette explained
that it had employed two methods for its valuation, a valuation based on
revenues and a valuation as a multiple of net earnings.

                                       20
<PAGE>
Based on an accretion/dilution analysis using projected earnings per share for
2000, Keefe, Bruyette recommended a transaction structure of 80% stock and 20%
cash, with a 10% fixed cash premium in order to achieve a 20% cash election, and
a fixed exchange ratio of 1.180 First Indiana shares per Somerset share. After a
discussion of the presentation, the special committee requested Keefe, Bruyette
to consider the effect of fixed exchange ratios of 1.180, 1.190 and 1.200, and a
floating exchange ratio, in light of projected earnings per share for 2001. The
special committee then reviewed a draft of the merger agreement submitted by
legal counsel.

    Between April 11 and 13, representatives of McDonald Investments, Keefe,
Bruyette, Somerset and First Indiana had general discussions concerning
valuation methodology being considered by both parties and non-economic terms of
the merger agreement.

    On April 13, 2000, the First Indiana special committee met to consider
information prepared by Keefe, Bruyette. Keefe, Bruyette presented an
earnings-per-share accretion/dilution analysis based on various assumed exchange
ratios with a 10% premium for those Somerset shareholders electing to receive
cash instead of First Indiana shares. Following discussions with Keefe,
Bruyette, the special committee:

    - approved the submission of a merger proposal to the Somerset special
      committee involving a merger between First Indiana and Somerset, with
      First Indiana or a subsidiary of First Indiana as the surviving entity;

    - established an exchange ratio of 1.20 shares of First Indiana common stock
      for each Somerset share and a 10% cash premium over the market price of
      1.20 shares of First Indiana common stock on the date preceding the date
      of announcement of the merger, with a maximum of 35% of the total Somerset
      shares to be exchanged for cash; and

    - authorized Owen B. Melton, Jr., president of First Indiana, to continue
      discussions with Somerset on terms of the merger agreement and other
      documents with the understanding that he would advise the special
      committee of the status of such discussions.

    On April 13, 2000, Somerset's legal counsel and McDonald Investments were
provided with a written proposal from First Indiana reflecting these actions by
its special committee, accompanied by a complete draft merger agreement. This
material, along with a detailed financial analysis of the proposal prepared by
McDonald Investments, was provided to the Somerset special committee members and
to the directors of Somerset who had not already received the materials as a
result of their position as directors of First Indiana.

    On April 17, 2000, the Somerset special committee met and reviewed the
proposed merger agreement at length. Representatives of McDonald Investments
discussed at length their financial analysis of the proposal. The Somerset
special committee determined to make a counteroffer to First Indiana containing,
among other things, the following positions:

    - the exchange ratio should be higher than 1.20 shares of First Indiana
      common stock for each Somerset share;

    - the cash premium over the market price of 1.20 shares of First Indiana
      common stock on the date preceding the date of announcement of the merger
      should be 15%, rather than 10%;

    - a walk-away provision should be included if First Indiana's stock price
      drops 15% or more; and

    - the vesting of nonvested stock options should be accelerated for directors
      and employees terminated as a result of the merger and those persons
      should have six months following their termination to exercise such
      accelerated options.

    On April 18, 2000, the First Indiana special committee met to consider
negotiation points on the merger and the merger agreement which had been
presented to Mr. Melton by Somerset, its legal

                                       21
<PAGE>
counsel and McDonald Investments. The special committee also considered proposed
responses to the negotiating points suggested by Mr. Melton, Keefe, Bruyette and
legal counsel. Following a discussion of the negotiating points and the proposed
responses, the First Indiana special committee determined to make a counteroffer
to Somerset on the following basis:

    - a merger between First Indiana and Somerset, with First Indiana or a
      subsidiary of First Indiana as the surviving entity;

    - an exchange ratio of 1.20 shares of First Indiana common stock for each
      Somerset share and a 15% cash premium over the market price of 1.20 shares
      of First Indiana common stock on the date preceding the date of
      announcement of the merger, with a maximum of 35% of Somerset's
      outstanding shares to receive cash consideration; and

    - a walk-away provision if First Indiana stock drops 20% or more.

    Later in the afternoon of April 18, 2000, the First Indiana board of
directors held a special meeting at which its legal counsel and Keefe, Bruyette
were present. Keefe, Bruyette made a presentation including an overview of
Somerset, including business operations, a financial summary as of December 31,
1999 and financial projections through the year 2004, together with the benefits
to First Indiana of an acquisition of Somerset. Keefe, Bruyette then presented a
financial and valuation analysis and recommended a structure for the proposed
transaction. Ms. Minott then presented the report of the First Indiana special
committee and recommended a merger on the basis established in the special
committee's meeting earlier in the day. Following these presentations, and after
extensive discussion of the advantages and potential risks of the proposed
merger as described under the heading "--First Indiana's Reasons for the Merger"
below, the First Indiana board of directors unanimously approved the merger, the
merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

    Also on April 18, 2000, the Somerset special committee met with its legal
counsel and McDonald Investments to consider the proposal submitted by the First
Indiana special committee. Following review of the proposal and an analysis by
McDonald Investments, the Somerset special committee instructed McDonald
Investments to propose an increase in the exchange ratio to 1.21 shares of First
Indiana stock per Somerset share.

    On April 19, 2000, the First Indiana special committee met to consider
changes in the merger agreement proposed by Somerset. Legal counsel and Keefe,
Bruyette were again present for this meeting. Keefe, Bruyette presented an
analysis of Somerset's proposal to increase the exchange ratio to 1.21 shares of
First Indiana stock per Somerset share, with the cash premium to remain at 15%,
and concluded that this consideration to be provided to the shareholders of
Somerset would be fair to First Indiana shareholders from a financial point of
view. Following a discussion of the Keefe, Bruyette presentation as well as
Somerset's request to permit extension to six months of stock option exercise
periods and accelerate vesting of any non-vested options for Somerset officers
and directors terminated as a result of the merger, the special committee agreed
with Somerset's proposal and recommended that the entire First Indiana board of
directors amend its approval of the merger and the merger agreement accordingly.

    After receipt of the First Indiana special committee's report, the First
Indiana board of directors by unanimous written consent dated April 19, 2000
concurred in the special committee's recommendation.

    The Somerset board of directors met on April 19, 2000, to consider the
merger proposal of First Indiana and to learn of the special committee's
deliberations and conclusions. The board was advised of all developments
relating to the proposed merger since January, 2000. The merger agreement
delivered by First Indiana was discussed in detail. Representatives of McDonald
Investments provided their financial analysis of the merger proposal, and
McDonald Investments concluded that the

                                       22
<PAGE>
consideration to be provided to the shareholders of Somerset would be fair to
Somerset shareholders from a financial point of view. After clarification was
received on certain provisions in the merger agreement and the directors were
advised that First Indiana had agreed to increase the exchange ratio to 1.21
shares of First Indiana stock per Somerset share, the meeting was adjourned so
that the special committee could meet to take final action on the proposal. The
special committee met and adopted a resolution recommending that the full board
of Somerset approve the merger on the terms set forth in the merger agreement as
presented to the board. The full board then recommended and approved the merger
agreement and recommended its approval to the Somerset shareholders.

SOMERSET'S REASONS FOR THE MERGER

    The Somerset board of directors believes that the merger and the merger
agreement are in the best interests of Somerset and its shareholders.
Accordingly, the Somerset board of directors has unanimously approved and
adopted the merger agreement and recommends approval of the merger agreement and
the merger by the Somerset shareholders. In reaching its conclusion, the special
committee of the board of directors and the board of directors considered a
number of factors, including the following:

    - the review by the board of directors of Somerset, based in part on the
      advice of McDonald Investments, of the range of possible values of
      Somerset, including the timing and likelihood of actually receiving such
      value from a party other than First Indiana and of the possible values of
      First Indiana;

    - the opinion of McDonald Investments as to the fairness of the merger
      consideration from a financial point of view as of the date of the
      opinion;

    - the opportunity to capitalize on revenue enhancement opportunities
      existing between the businesses of First Indiana and Somerset, and the
      resulting potential for accretion to Somerset's book value and earnings
      per share as a result of the merger;

    - the ability for those Somerset shareholders electing stock to benefit from
      an increase in the liquidity of First Indiana's trading market due to
      increased float and trading volume of First Indiana shares compared to
      Somerset shares and to receive higher cash dividends per share, assuming
      First Indiana maintains its current dividend policy;

    - the fact that all Somerset shareholders would be permitted to elect to
      receive First Indiana common stock in the merger, and that the merger
      would be tax-free to Somerset and its shareholders to the extent they
      receive stock in the merger;

    - the ability for those Somerset shareholders who elect cash to receive a
      15% premium above the nominal value of the stock election based on the
      1.21 per share exchange ratio times the market value of First Indiana
      stock as of the date the merger was announced;

    - the anticipated cost savings and operating efficiencies available to the
      combined institution from the merger and, in particular, the elimination
      of the expenses associated with status as a publicly held company;

    - the ability to eliminate the division of time and energy of management
      between two different corporate entities;

    - the ability to eliminate customer and marketplace confusion about the
      relationship between Somerset and First Indiana;

    - the opportunity the merger creates to make more services available to
      customers and thereby meet increased customer expectations of financial
      services firms following passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act;

                                       23
<PAGE>
    - the fact that the unrealized gain on the First Indiana common stock held
      by it might make Somerset less attractive to a third party acquiror; and

    - the effect of the merger on Somerset's other constituencies, including its
      management, employees, customers and the communities it serves.

    The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the
special committee and the board of directors of Somerset is not intended to be
exhaustive but is believed to include all material factors considered by the
Somerset board of directors. In reaching its determination to approve the merger
the Somerset board of directors did not assign any relative or specific weights
to the foregoing factors, and individual directors may have given differing
weights to different factors.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE SOMERSET BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    The board of directors of Somerset has unanimously approved the merger
agreement and the merger provided for therein. It has also unanimously
recommended to the Somerset shareholders that they approve and adopt the merger
agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

FIRST INDIANA'S REASONS FOR THE MERGER

    The First Indiana special committee and board of directors considered a
number of factors in reaching their respective determinations that the merger is
fair to and in the best interests of the public shareholders of First Indiana,
without regard to Somerset's interests and in making their recommendations that
the merger be approved by First Indiana shareholders. The special committee and
the First Indiana board of directors did not consider it practicable to, and did
not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the
specific factors they considered in reaching their respective determinations and
recommendations. The factors considered included:

    - the potential for an increase in First Indiana's fee-based revenues along
      with a diversification of First Indiana's revenue base;

    - the opportunity to make more services available to customers and thereby
      meet increased customer expectations of financial services firms following
      passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act;

    - the opportunity to capitalize on revenue enhancement opportunities
      existing between the businesses of First Indiana and Somerset;

    - the elimination of duplicate expenses associated with operating First
      Indiana and Somerset as separate publicly held companies;

    - the ability to eliminate the division of time and energy of management
      between two different corporate entities;

    - the ability to eliminate customer and marketplace confusion about the
      relationship between Somerset and First Indiana;

    - the potential of accretion to First Indiana's earnings per share;

    - an increase in the liquidity of First Indiana's trading market due to
      increased float and trading volume of First Indiana shares;

    - the review by the board of directors of First Indiana, based in part on
      the advice of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods and on management's internal
      projections, of the range of possible values of Somerset and First
      Indiana;

                                       24
<PAGE>
    - the presentations of Keefe, Bruyette and the fact that Keefe, Bruyette
      would render an opinion that the consideration to be paid to Somerset
      shareholders in the merger was fair to First Indiana shareholders from a
      financial point of view; and

    - the effect of the merger on First Indiana's other constituencies,
      including its management, employees, and the communities it serves.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE FIRST INDIANA BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    At a meeting of the First Indiana board of directors held on April 18, 2000,
after due consideration, the board of directors unanimously:

    - determined that the merger is fair to and in the best interests of the
      public shareholders of First Indiana, without regard to Somerset's
      interests;

    - approved and adopted the merger and the merger agreement; and

    - recommended that First Indiana shareholders approve and adopt the merger
      and the merger agreement.

OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO SOMERSET

    MERGER--GENERAL.  Pursuant to an engagement letter dated January 12, 2000
between the special committee of the board of directors of Somerset and McDonald
Investments, the special committee retained McDonald Investments to act as its
sole financial advisor in connection with the merger. McDonald Investments'
engagement was limited to providing financial advice to the special committee of
the board of directors of Somerset in connection with the merger and advice on
various strategic alternatives. McDonald Investments was not requested by
Somerset to, and did not, solicit indications of interest from any other
potential acquirors. As part of its engagement, McDonald Investments agreed, if
requested by Somerset, to render an opinion with respect to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, to the holders of Somerset common stock, of the
consideration as set forth in the merger agreement. McDonald Investments is a
nationally recognized specialist in the financial services industry, in general,
and in Midwestern banks and thrifts in particular. McDonald Investments is
regularly engaged in evaluations of similar businesses and in advising
institutions with regard to mergers and acquisitions, as well as raising debt
and equity capital for such institutions. Somerset's special committee selected
McDonald Investments as its financial advisor based upon McDonald Investments'
qualifications, expertise and reputation in such capacity.

    On April 19, 2000, McDonald Investments delivered to the Somerset board of
directors its oral opinion, which McDonald Investments subsequently confirmed in
writing, that the consideration payable in the merger was fair to Somerset
shareholders, from a financial point of view, as of the date of such opinion.
McDonald Investments has also delivered to the Somerset board of directors a
written opinion as of the date of this document, which is substantially similar
to the opinion delivered on April 19, 2000. No limitations were imposed by
Somerset on McDonald Investments with respect to the investigations made or the
procedures followed in rendering its opinion.

    THE FULL TEXT OF THE MCDONALD INVESTMENTS OPINION, WHICH SETS FORTH THE
ASSUMPTIONS MADE, MATTERS CONSIDERED AND EXTENT OF REVIEW BY MCDONALD
INVESTMENTS, IS ATTACHED AS ANNEX B TO THIS DOCUMENT AND IS INCORPORATED HEREIN
BY REFERENCE. IT SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THIS DOCUMENT. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY OF THE MCDONALD INVESTMENTS OPINION IS
QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE FULL TEXT OF THE MCDONALD
INVESTMENTS OPINION. THE MCDONALD INVESTMENTS OPINION IS ADDRESSED TO THE
SOMERSET BOARD AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A RECOMMENDATION TO ANY SHAREHOLDER OF
SOMERSET AS TO HOW SUCH SHAREHOLDER SHOULD VOTE AT THE SOMERSET SPECIAL MEETING
DESCRIBED IN THIS DOCUMENT.

                                       25

    McDonald Investments has acted as Somerset's financial advisor in connection
with, and has participated in certain negotiations leading to, the Agreement. In
connection with rendering our opinion set forth herein, McDonald Investments has
among other things:

    - Reviewed Somerset's Annual Reports to Shareholders and Annual Reports on
      Form 10-K for each of the years ended December 31, 1999, December 31, 1998
      and December 31, 1997, including the audited financial statements
      contained therein;

    - Reviewed First Indiana's Annual Reports to Shareholders and Annual Reports
      on Form 10-K for each of the years ended December 31, 1999, December 31,
      1998 and December 31, 1997, including the audited financial statements
      contained therein;

    - Reviewed certain other public and non-public information, primarily
      financial in nature, relating to the respective businesses, earnings,
      assets and prospects of Somerset and First Indiana provided to McDonald
      Investments or publicly available;

    - Participated in meetings and telephone conferences with members of senior
      management of Somerset and First Indiana concerning the financial
      condition, business, assets, financial forecasts and prospects of the
      respective companies, as well as other matters McDonald Investments
      believed relevant to its inquiry;

    - Reviewed certain stock market information for Somerset common stock and
      First Indiana common stock, and compared it with similar information for
      certain companies, the securities of which are publicly traded;

    - Compared the results of operations and financial condition of Somerset and
      First Indiana with that of certain companies, which McDonald Investments
      deemed to be relevant for purposes of this opinion;

    - Reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain
      acquisition transactions, which McDonald Investments deemed to be relevant
      for purposes of this opinion;

    - Reviewed the merger agreement dated April 19, 2000 and certain related
      documents; and

    - Performed such other reviews and analyses as McDonald Investments has
      deemed appropriate.

    The oral and written opinions provided by McDonald Investments to Somerset
were necessarily based upon economic, monetary, financial market and other
relevant conditions as of the dates thereof.

    In connection with its review and arriving at its opinion, McDonald
Investments relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the financial
information and other pertinent information provided by First Indiana and
Somerset to McDonald Investments for purposes of rendering its opinion. McDonald
Investments did not assume any obligation to independently verify any of the
information provided as being complete and accurate in all material respects.
With regard to the financial forecasts established and developed for Somerset
and First Indiana with the input of the respective managements, as well as
projections of cost savings, revenue enhancements and operating synergies,
McDonald Investments assumed that these materials had been reasonably prepared
on bases reflecting the best available estimates and judgments of Somerset and
First Indiana as to the future performance of the separate and combined entities
and that the projections provided a reasonable basis upon which McDonald
Investments could formulate its opinion. Somerset and First Indiana do not
publicly disclose such internal management projections of the type utilized by
McDonald Investments in connection with McDonald Investments' role as financial
advisor to Somerset's special committee with respect to its review of the
merger. Therefore, such projections cannot be assumed to have been prepared with
a view towards public disclosure. The projections were based upon numerous
variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, among
others, factors relative to the general economic and

                                       26
<PAGE>
competitive conditions facing Somerset and First Indiana. Accordingly, actual
results could vary significantly from those set forth in the respective
projections.

    McDonald Investments does not claim to be an expert in the evaluation of
loan portfolios or the allowance for loan losses with respect thereto and
therefore assumes that such allowances for First Indiana are adequate to cover
such losses. In addition, McDonald Investments does not assume responsibility
for the review of individual credit files, did not make an independent
evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of the assets or individual
properties of Somerset or First Indiana, nor was McDonald Investments provided
with such appraisals. Furthermore, McDonald Investments assumed that the merger
would be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger
agreement, including the tax-free treatment of the merger to the holders of
Somerset common stock who elect to receive payment for their shares in shares of
First Indiana common stock and without any waiver of any material terms or
conditions by Somerset, and that obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals
for the merger will not have an adverse effect on either separate institution or
the combined entity. Moreover, in each analysis that involves per share data for
Somerset, McDonald Investments adjusted the data to reflect full dilution, I.E.,
the effect of the exercise of outstanding options and/or warrants utilizing the
treasury stock method. In particular, McDonald Investments assumed that the
merger would be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

    In connection with rendering its opinion to the Somerset board of directors,
McDonald Investments performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses
which are briefly summarized below. Such summary of analyses does not purport to
be a complete description of the analyses performed by McDonald Investments.
Moreover, McDonald Investments believes that these analyses must be considered
as a whole and that selecting portions of such analyses and the factors
considered by it, without considering all such analyses and factors, could
create an incomplete understanding of the scope of the process underlying the
analyses and, more importantly, the opinion derived from them. The preparation
of a financial advisor's opinion is a complex process involving subjective
judgments and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analyses or a summary
description of such analyses. In its full analysis, McDonald Investments also
included assumptions with respect to general economic, financial market and
other financial conditions. Furthermore, McDonald Investments drew from its past
experience in similar transactions, as well as its experience in the valuation
of securities and its general knowledge of the banking industry as a whole. Any
estimates in McDonald Investments' analyses were not necessarily indicative of
actual future results or values, which may significantly diverge favorably or
adversely from such estimates. Estimates of company valuations do not purport to
be appraisals nor to necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or their
respective securities actually may be sold. None of the analyses performed by
McDonald Investments were assigned a greater significance by McDonald
Investments than any other in deriving its opinion.

    COMPARABLE COMPANY ANALYSIS:  McDonald Investments reviewed and compared
actual stock market data and actual and estimated selected financial information
for First Indiana with corresponding information for 24 publicly traded thrifts
with assets between $1.0 billion and $5.0 billion, equity to assets between 5.0%
and 10.0% and ROAA greater than 0.75% (the "First Indiana Peer Group"). Somerset
owns approximately 22% of the outstanding common stock of First Indiana. This
holding represents the vast majority of Somerset's assets, revenues and net
income. The balance of Somerset's assets, revenues and net income is derived
from a group of business services

                                       27

divisions and a subsidiary collectively referred to as the Somerset Operating
Companies. The First Indiana Peer Group is listed below (ranked by asset size):

    The result of applying the price to revenue multiplier for each line of
business to the revenues generated from the corresponding Somerset Operating
Companies lines of business yielded a valuation range of $12.9 million to
$16.4 million for the Somerset Operating Companies as a whole.

    No other company used as a comparison in the above analyses is identical to
Somerset, Somerset Operating Companies or First Indiana or the combined entity
and no other transaction is identical to the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of
the results of the foregoing is not purely mathematical; rather, such analyses
involves complex considerations and judgements concerning differences in
financial market and operating characteristics of the companies and other
factors that could affect the public trading volume of the companies to which
Somerset, First Indiana and the combined entity are being compared.

    ACCRETION/DILUTION ANALYSIS:  On the basis of financial projections and
estimates of on-going cost savings accruing to the pro forma company provided to
McDonald Investments by Somerset and First Indiana, as well as estimated
one-time costs related to the merger, McDonald Investments compared pro forma
equivalent per share calculations with respect to earnings, cash dividends, book
value and tangible book value to the stand-alone per share projections for
Somerset.

    The accretion/dilution analysis demonstrated, among other things, that for
Somerset shareholders receiving stock in the merger, the merger would result in:

    - accretion to earnings per share for Somerset's shareholders over the
      period of the analysis;

    - significantly higher cash dividends per share for Somerset's shareholders
      over the period of the analysis, assuming First Indiana maintained its
      dividend policy; and

    - accretion to both book value per share and tangible book value per share
      for Somerset's shareholders over the period of the analysis.

    DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW ANALYSIS.  McDonald Investments performed a discounted
cash flow analysis of Somerset on a stand alone basis and, because its 22%
ownership interest in First Indiana represented most of Somerset's assets,
revenues and net income, McDonald Investments also performed a discounted cash
flow analysis of First Indiana on a stand-alone basis. Both analyses used
discount rates ranging from 13.5% to 16.5% and terminal multiples of earnings
ranging from 10.0x to 15.0x. McDonald Investments' discounted cash flow analysis
of Somerset resulted in present values ranging from $66.9 million to
$101.0 million. McDonald Investments' discounted cash flow analysis of First
Indiana resulted in a range of present values of $253.4 million to
$380.7 million.

    In order to derive a range of values for Somerset's operating companies,
McDonald Investments multiplied the present values that it derived for First
Indiana by 22%, which represents the percentage of outstanding First Indiana
common stock owned by Somerset. This resulted in values ranging from
$55.7 million to $83.8 million. McDonald Investments then subtracted these
amounts from the ranges of values that it derived for Somerset on a stand-alone
basis. This analysis suggested that the cash flows attributable to Somerset's
Operating Companies had a value of between $11.2 million to $17.2 million.
McDonald Investments noted that, at an assumed market price of $18.00 per share
of First Indiana common stock, the portion of the consideration in excess of the
market price of the First Indiana common stock ranged from $11.9 million to
$15.1 million, which is within the range of values for the operating companies
suggested by its discounted cash flow analysis.

    As indicated above, this analysis was based on Somerset's senior management
estimates and First Indiana's senior management estimates. It is not necessarily
indicative of actual values or actual future results, and does not purport to
reflect the prices at which any securities may trade at the present or at any
time in the future. McDonald Investments noted that the discounted cash flow
analysis was included because it is a widely used valuation methodology, but
noted that the results of such

                                       30
<PAGE>
methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be
made, including earnings growth rates, terminal values and discount rates.

    OTHER ANALYSES:  McDonald Investments also reviewed certain other
information including pro forma estimated balance sheet composition and pro
forma financial performance.

    IN CONNECTION WITH RENDERING THE MCDONALD INVESTMENTS OPINION, MCDONALD
INVESTMENTS PERFORMED PROCEDURES TO UPDATE, AS NECESSARY, CERTAIN OF THE
ANALYSES DESCRIBED ABOVE AND REVIEWED THE ASSUMPTIONS ON WHICH SUCH ANALYSES
DESCRIBED ABOVE WERE BASED AND THE FACTORS CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
MCDONALD INVESTMENTS DID NOT PERFORM ANY ANALYSES IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED
ABOVE IN CONNECTION WITH RENDERING THE MCDONALD INVESTMENTS OPINION.

    McDonald Investments has in the past provided certain other investment
banking services to First Indiana and has received compensation for such
services. McDonald Investments is a member of all principal securities exchanges
in the United States and in the conduct of its broker-dealer activities has from
time to time purchased securities from, and sold securities to, Somerset and/or
First Indiana. As a market maker, McDonald Investments may also have purchased
and sold the securities of Somerset and/or First Indiana for McDonald
Investments' own account and for the accounts of its customers.

    Somerset paid McDonald Investments a $50,000 retainer at the time McDonald
Investments was engaged to serve as Somerset's financial advisor and a $50,000
fee for its services in rendering the fairness opinion delivered on April 19,
2000. Somerset has also agreed to pay McDonald Investments a $50,000 fee for its
services in rendering the McDonald Investments opinion and a transaction fee at
the closing of the merger of 0.375% of the total aggregate fair market value of
the merger at the time of closing, but not less than $300,000. The unpaid
balance of this transaction fee is contingent upon consummation of the merger.
Fees previously paid to McDonald Investments by Somerset in connection with its
engagement will be credited against the amount of the transaction fee payable to
McDonald Investments at closing. Assuming that the transaction had closed on
May 19, 2000, the amount of the total fee payable to McDonald Investments would
have been $300,000. Somerset has also agreed to reimburse McDonald Investments
for up to $10,000 in reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection
with its engagement, and to indemnify McDonald Investments against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO FIRST INDIANA

    First Indiana engaged Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. to act as financial
advisor to the First Indiana special committee and board of directors in
connection with a transaction with Somerset and to evaluate the fairness to
First Indiana shareholders from a financial point of view of the consideration
to be received by Somerset shareholders in any proposed transaction. First
Indiana selected Keefe, Bruyette because Keefe, Bruyette is a nationally
recognized investment-banking firm with substantial experience in transactions
similar to the merger and is familiar with First Indiana and its business. As
part of its investment banking business, Keefe, Bruyette is continually engaged
in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers
and acquisitions.

    As part of its engagement, representatives of Keefe, Bruyette attended the
meetings of the First Indiana special committee and board of directors held on
April 18, 2000, at which the First Indiana special committee and board of
directors considered and approved the merger agreement. Keefe, Bruyette also
attended the special committee meeting held on April 19, 2000, at which the
special committee recommended changes to the merger agreement. At the April 18,
2000 meetings, and again at the April 19, 2000 meeting, Keefe, Bruyette rendered
an oral opinion (subsequently confirmed in writing) that, as of April 19, 2000,
the consideration to be received by Somerset shareholders in the merger was
fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of First Indiana. That
opinion was reconfirmed in writing as of the date of this proxy statement and
prospectus.

    THE FULL TEXT OF THE KEEFE, BRUYETTE OPINION, WHICH SETS FORTH ASSUMPTIONS
MADE, MATTERS CONSIDERED AND LIMITS OF REVIEW UNDERTAKEN, IS ATTACHED TO THIS
JOINT PROXY STATEMENT AND PROSPECTUS AS ANNEX C. FIRST INDIANA SHAREHOLDERS ARE
URGED TO READ THE OPINION IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE KEEFE,
BRUYETTE OPINION SET FORTH HEREIN IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO
THE FULL TEXT OF THE KEEFE, BRUYETTE OPINION. THE KEEFE, BRUYETTE OPINION IS
ADDRESSED TO THE FIRST INDIANA BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ADDRESSES ONLY THE
FAIRNESS, FROM A FINANCIAL POINT OF VIEW, TO FIRST INDIANA SHAREHOLDERS OF THE
MERGER CONSIDERATION, DOES NOT ADDRESS THE MERITS OF THE UNDERLYING DECISION BY
FIRST INDIANA TO ENGAGE IN THE TRANSACTION AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE, NOR SHOULD
IT BE CONSTRUED AS, A RECOMMENDATION TO ANY SHAREHOLDER AS TO HOW SUCH
SHAREHOLDER SHOULD VOTE AT THE FIRST INDIANA SPECIAL MEETING. THE KEEFE,
BRUYETTE OPINION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OPINION OR IMPLY ANY CONCLUSION OF
KEEFE, BRUYETTE AS TO THE LIKELY TRADING RANGE FOR THE FIRST INDIANA COMMON
SHARES OR THE SOMERSET COMMON SHARES FOLLOWING THE ANNOUNCEMENT OR CONSUMMATION
OF THE MERGER.

    In connection with the preparation of its opinion, Keefe, Bruyette reviewed,
among other things: the merger agreement; annual reports to shareholders and
annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, of First Indiana; annual reports to
shareholders and annual reports on Form 10-K of Somerset; a draft of the
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2000 of First
Indiana; a draft of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 of Somerset; and certain internal financial analyses and
forecasts for First Indiana and Somerset prepared by management; held
discussions with members of senior management of First Indiana and Somerset
regarding: past and current business operations; regulatory relationships;
financial condition; and future prospects of the respective companies; compared
certain financial and stock market information for First Indiana and Somerset
with similar information for certain other companies with publicly traded
securities; reviewed the financial terms of certain recent business combinations
in the banking industry; and performed other studies and analyses that it
considered appropriate.

    The projections furnished to Keefe, Bruyette and used by it in certain of
its analyses were prepared by the senior management of First Indiana and
Somerset. First Indiana and Somerset do not publicly disclose internal
management projections of the type provided to Keefe, Bruyette in connection
with its review of the merger. As a result, such projections were not prepared
with a view towards public disclosure. The projections were based on numerous
variables and assumptions which are inherently uncertain, including factors
related to general economic and competitive conditions. Accordingly, actual
results could vary significantly from those set forth in the projections.

    The following is a summary of the material analyses that Keefe, Bruyette
presented to the First Indiana special committee and board of directors on
April 18 and 19, 2000 in connection with its opinion:

    TRANSACTION SUMMARY.  Under terms of the proposed merger, First Indiana is
offering Somerset shareholders 1.21 shares of First Indiana stock or $24.70 each
or a combination of shares and stock with a maximum of 35% of Somerset's
outstanding shares to receive cash consideration. Keefe, Bruyette's merger
analysis assumed that 20% of Somerset shareholders would elect to receive $24.70
in cash and 80% of Somerset shareholders would elect to receive the exchange
ratio of 1.21 shares of First Indiana valued at $21.48 (based on First Indiana's
share price of $17.75 per share) for each share of Somerset for a total
consideration of $62.1 million based upon 2,804,000 Somerset shares outstanding.
The $62.1 million total consideration or an average price of $22.12 per share
(assuming elections of 80% stock and 20% cash) represents 1.7 times Somerset's
book value per share of $12.97 as of December 31, 1999 and 18.4 times 1999
earnings per share of $1.20.

    MERGER ANALYSIS.  Keefe, Bruyette's analysis of the transaction assumed a
purchase accounting transaction whereby the 2,758,000 shares of First Indiana
owned by Somerset would be retired by First Indiana at $17.75 per share into
authorized but unissued stock at closing. Keefe, Bruyette assigned a value to
Somerset's fee-based business of $13.1 million or $62.1 million less the
$49.0 million market

                                       32
<PAGE>
value of the 2,758,000 shares to be retired. The $13.1 million value assigned to
Somerset's fee-based services represented 1.2 times 1999 revenues of
$10.9 million, 23.2 times 1999 operating earnings of $565,000 and 21.3 times
projected 2000 earnings of $613,000. The valuation analysis of Somerset and
pro-forma merger analysis of First Indiana and Somerset focused on Somerset's
fee based businesses in accounting and tax services, wealth management and
investor services, and computer consulting. First Indiana and Somerset developed
revenue and net income projections for Somerset as well as cost savings from the
combination. These projections became the basis of the merger analysis below.

    COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS.  Typically, Keefe, Bruyette's merger analysis would
include a comparison of the consideration offered for Somerset's fee-based
businesses to premiums paid in similar transactions. However, comparable
transactions involving acquisitions of public companies with a similar business
mix were not available for analysis.

    PEER GROUP ANALYSIS FOR SOMERSET.  Keefe, Bruyette reviewed the market
valuation and stock price performance of publicly traded fee service companies
including H&R Block Inc., Century Business Services, Gilman & Ciocia, Inc.,
Clarke Bardes Holdings, Inc. and HD Vest Inc. Keefe, Bruyette used financial
information as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999 (except for H&R
Block, as of and for the year ended January 31, 2000), and Institutional Brokers
Estimate System ("IBES") estimates of 2000 earnings per share and market price
information as of April 17, 2000. The average market capitalization to revenues
of these companies was 1.0 times with a range of .2 to 2.2. The average price to
2000 estimated earnings per share was 11.3 times with a range of 8.4 to 15.2. In
comparison, Somerset's market capitalization of $51.6 million represented 3.4
times 1999 revenues of $15.4 million which included Somerset's equity in the
earnings of First Indiana, and 11.6 times projected 2000 earnings of $1.53 per
share.

    PEER GROUP ANALYSIS FOR FIRST INDIANA.  Keefe, Bruyette compared the
financial performance and market performance of First Indiana to a group of
Indiana based financial institutions ranging in asset size from $791 million to
$7 billion. The group included the following companies: Old National Bancorp,
1st Source Corporation, National City Bancshares, Inc., First Financial
Corporation, Irwin Financial Corporation, CFS Bancorp, Inc., First Merchants
Corporation, Lakeland Financial Corporation, Indiana United Bancorp, German
American Bancorp, and Home Federal Bancorp. Keefe, Bruyette used financial
information as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999, IBES estimates for
2000 earnings per share (except for First Indiana, Old National, 1st Source
Corporation, National City Bancshares and Irwin Financial where Keefe,
Bruyette's Research Department estimates were used), and market price
information was as of April 17, 2000.

    Keefe, Bruyette compared the financial performance and market performance of
First Indiana on various financial measures, including: earnings performance;
operating efficiency; capital adequacy; and asset quality; and various measures
of market performance, including: market/book values; price to earnings; and
dividend yields.

</TABLE>

    Keefe, Bruyette's discussion of First Indiana's peer group included an
analysis of First Indiana's 27.29% non-interest income to total revenues
compared to the peer group average of 26.08%. Pro forma for the merger with
Somerset, non-interest income to total revenues would increase to 34.8%.

    PRO FORMA MERGER ANALYSIS.  In order to calculate the Somerset merger pro
forma effect on book value per share and tangible common equity to assets,
Keefe, Bruyette assumed an election of 20% cash and 80% stock, a December 31,
1999 closing date and the balance sheets of First Indiana and Somerset as of
December 31, 1999. Keefe, Bruyette calculated that pro forma book value per
share would decline to $13.77 from First Indiana's stand-alone book value of
$13.83. Keefe, Bruyette also calculated that pro forma tangible common equity to
total assets would decline to 8.24% from 8.86%.

    Assuming elections of 80% stock and 20% cash, Keefe, Bruyette analyzed the
pro forma impact of the Somerset merger on First Indiana's projected earnings
per share and cash earnings per share using both First Indiana's management
projections and Keefe, Bruyette's Research Department estimates. In its analysis
of First Indiana's final merger proposal of 1.21 shares of First Indiana stock
or $24.70 in cash, Keefe, Bruyette used its Research Department's estimates of
$1.80 per share or $23.0 million in 2000 and $2.00 per share or $25.6 million in
2001 and assumed an 11% growth rate in years 2002 to 2004 or $2.22 in 2002,
$2.47 in 2003 and $2.74 in 2004, respectively. Keefe, Bruyette also assumed the
same projections for First Indiana's cash earnings per share in 2000 through
2004. In calculating the pro forma impact of the Somerset merger in 2000, Keefe,
Bruyette assumed Somerset's fee based services earnings of $613,100, after-tax
cost savings of $435,500, amortization of goodwill of $628,300 and after-tax
interest costs of $608,300 (based on a 7.2% borrowing rate) to finance the
$13.9 million cash portion of the merger. For 2000, the pro forma net income of
$22, 850,000 and shares outstanding of 12.8 million would result in a pro forma
earnings per share $1.79 versus $1.80 stand alone and pro forma cash earnings
per share of $1.83 versus $1.80 stand alone. Using similar analysis for 2001 to
2004, Keefe, Bruyette calculated pro forma earnings per share of $1.99, $2.23,
$2.49 and $2.78, respectively, compared to the stand alone earnings per share
projections of $2.00, $2.22, $2.47 and $2.74, respectively. For the same 2001 to
2004 period, Keefe Bruyette calculated pro forma cash earnings per share of
$2.04, $2.28, $2.54 and $2.83, respectively, compared to stand-alone earnings
per share projections of $2.00, $2.22, $2.47 and $2.74, respectively. Keefe,
Bruyette's analysis of the pro forma impact of the merger on First Indiana's
projected earnings per share and cash earnings per share

                                       34
<PAGE>
for the years 2000 through 2004 did not take into account revenue enhancement
opportunities existing between the businesses of First Indiana and Somerset that
would generate increased pro forma net income and accretion to earnings per
share beginning in 2001 and add to the accretion in cash earnings per share
beginning in 2000.

    DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW ANALYSIS.  Keefe, Bruyette estimated the present value
of future cash flows from Somerset's fee based businesses that would accrue to a
holder of a share of Somerset common stock assuming that the shareholder held
the stock for five years and then sold it. The analysis was based on earnings
forecasts prepared by management on a stand-alone, independent basis for 2000
excluding the impact of Somerset's First Indiana investment and annual net
income growth rates of 12% for the years 2001 through 2004. A 20% dividend
payout ratio was assumed for Somerset through the year 2004. Somerset's value in
the event of a sale was determined by using terminal price/earnings multiples
from 10 times to 16 times. The terminal value and the dividends received were
discounted at a rate of 12.0%. This rate was selected because, in Keefe,
Bruyette's experience, it represents the risk-adjusted rates of return that
investors in securities such as the Somerset common stock would require. On the
basis of these assumptions, Keefe, Bruyette calculated a range of present values
ranging from $10.3 million to $13.4 million.

    Keefe, Bruyette also calculated a net present value sensitivity table with
discount rates ranging from 10% to 16% in increments of 2% and terminal
multiples from 10.0 to 16.0 in increments of 2.0. Based on these assumptions,
Keefe, Bruyette calculated net present values ranging from $8.7 million to
$17.7 million.

    Keefe, Bruyette stated that the discounted cash flow present value analysis
is a widely used valuation methodology but noted that it relies on numerous
assumptions, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values and
discount rates. The analysis did not purport to be indicative of the actual
values or expected values of Somerset common stock.

    In connection with its opinion dated as of the date of this proxy statement
and prospectus, Keefe, Bruyette performed procedures to update, as necessary,
certain of the analyses described above. Keefe, Bruyette reviewed the
assumptions on which the analyses described above were based and the factors
considered in connection therewith. Keefe, Bruyette did not perform any analyses
in addition to those described above in updating its April 18 and 19, 2000
opinions.

    Keefe, Bruyette has not independently verified the information described
above and for purposes of its opinion has assumed the accuracy, completeness and
fairness thereof. With respect to information relating to the prospects of
Somerset and First Indiana, Keefe, Bruyette has assumed that such information
reflects the best currently available estimates and judgments of the managements
of Somerset and First Indiana, respectively, as to the likely future financial
performance of Somerset and First Indiana. Keefe, Bruyette also assumed, without
independent verification, that the aggregate allowances for loan losses for
First Indiana are adequate to cover those losses. Keefe, Bruyette did not make
or obtain any evaluations or appraisals of the property of First Indiana or
Somerset, and Keefe, Bruyette did not examine any individual credit or other
files.

    First Indiana has retained Keefe, Bruyette as an independent contractor to
act as financial advisor to First Indiana regarding the merger. As part of its
investment banking business, Keefe, Bruyette is continually engaged in the
valuation of banking and other financial businesses and their securities in
connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive
biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private
placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. As
specialists in the securities of banking and financial companies, Keefe,
Bruyette has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking and other
financial enterprises. In the ordinary course of its business as a
broker-dealer, Keefe, Bruyette may, from time to time, purchase securities from,
and sell securities to, Somerset and First Indiana. As a market maker in

securities of Somerset and First Indiana for Keefe, Bruyette's own account and
for the accounts of its customers.

    First Indiana and Keefe, Bruyette have entered into an agreement relating to
the services to be provided by Keefe, Bruyette in connection with the merger.
First Indiana has agreed to pay Keefe, Bruyette a total fee of up to $400,000,
consisting of a $50,000 retainer paid at the time Keefe, Bruyette was engaged to
serve as First Indiana's financial advisor, a $100,000 incentive fee paid at the
time the merger agreement was entered into, a $100,000 incentive fee at the time
of mailing of this proxy statement and prospectus and a $150,000 incentive fee
upon closing of the merger. Pursuant to the Keefe, Bruyette engagement
agreement, First Indiana also agreed to reimburse Keefe, Bruyette for up to
$10,000 in reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in
connection with its retention and to indemnify against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

EFFECTIVE TIME


    The merger will be consummated if the merger agreement is approved by the
Somerset and First Indiana shareholders, First Indiana and Somerset obtain all
required consents and approvals and all other conditions to the merger are
either satisfied or waived. The merger will become effective on the date and at
the time (referred to in this proxy statement and prospectus as the "effective
time of the merger") that articles of merger are filed with the Secretary of
State of the State of Indiana, or such later date or time as may be indicated in
such articles. First Indiana and Somerset have generally agreed to cause the
merger to become effective on the fifth Nasdaq trading day to occur after the
last of the conditions to the consummation of the merger have been satisfied or
waived (or on any other date as First Indiana and Somerset agree in writing). It
is currently anticipated that the merger will occur in the third quarter or
early in the fourth quarter of 2000. First Indiana and Somerset each has the
right to terminate the merger agreement if the merger is not completed by
December 31, 2000. See "The Merger and the Merger Agreement--Amendment, Waiver
and Termination."


ELECTION AND ALLOCATION PROCEDURES


    Each record holder of shares of Somerset common stock will be entitled
(1) to elect to receive First Indiana common stock for all or some of the
holder's shares ("Stock Election Shares"), (2) to elect to receive cash for all
or some of the holder's shares ("Cash Election Shares") or (3) to make no
election for all or some of its shares ("No-Election Shares"). Any shares of
Somerset common stock for which the record holder has not submitted a properly
completed election form to Harris Trust Company of New York, the exchange agent
chosen by First Indiana, by the election deadline (as defined in the merger
agreement) will be treated as No-Election Shares.


    No later than the fifteenth day following the election deadline, First
Indiana will cause the exchange agent to allocate among the holders of Somerset
common stock rights to receive First Indiana common stock, cash or both in
exchange for their shares.

    If the number of Stock Election Shares is less than 65% of the number of
shares of Somerset common stock outstanding at the effective time of the merger
(the "Stock Number"), then (1) all Stock Election Shares will be converted into
the right to receive First Indiana common stock, (2) the exchange agent will
allocate pro rata from among the No-Election Shares a sufficient number of
No-Election Shares so that the sum of such number and the number of Stock
Election Shares is equal as closely as practicable to the Stock Number, (3) if
the sum of the number of Stock Election Shares and No-Election Shares is less
than the Stock Number, the exchange agent will allocate pro rata from among the
Cash Election Shares a sufficient number of Cash Election Shares such that the
sum of such number and the number of Stock Election Shares and No-Election
Shares is as equal as practicable to the Stock Number, and all such shares will
be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock

                                       36
<PAGE>
Consideration, and (4) any remaining No-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares
will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration.

    If the number of Stock Election Shares is greater than the Stock Number,
then (1) all Cash Election Shares and No-Election Shares will be converted into
the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration and (2) the Stock Election
Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock
Consideration.

EXCHANGE AND PAYMENT PROCEDURES; FRACTIONAL SHARES

    Enclosed with this proxy statement and prospectus are transmittal materials
for each Somerset shareholder for use in making the election described above and
for exchanging his or her certificates representing shares of Somerset common
stock for shares of First Indiana common stock and/or cash. Somerset
shareholders should surrender their certificates for exchange using the
procedures described in the letter of transmittal and instructions. The exchange
agent will deliver certificates for First Indiana common stock and/or a check
for any cash consideration (or fractional share interests or dividends or
distributions) once it receives the certificates representing a holder's shares
of Somerset common stock. No party will be liable to any shareholder for any
property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

    First Indiana will not pay any dividends or other distributions with respect
to First Indiana common stock with a record date occurring after the effective
time of the merger to any former Somerset shareholder who has not exchanged his
or her certificates representing Somerset common stock. After exchanging his or
her certificates for First Indiana stock certificates, all paid dividends and
other distributions and, if applicable, a check for the amount to be paid for
any fractional shares will be delivered to such shareholder, in each case
without interest.

    After the effective time of the merger, there will be no transfers of shares
of Somerset common stock on Somerset's stock transfer books. If certificates
representing shares of Somerset common stock are presented for transfer after
the effective time of the merger, the exchange agent or First Indiana will
cancel and exchange them for certificates representing shares of First Indiana
common stock and a check for the amount to be paid for fractional shares of
First Indiana common stock, if any, or cash, or a combination of First Indiana
stock and cash as provided in the merger agreement.

    First Indiana will not issue any fractional shares of First Indiana common
stock. Instead, a Somerset shareholder who would otherwise have received a
fraction of a share of First Indiana common stock will receive cash (without
interest). The amount of cash received will be determined by multiplying the
fraction of First Indiana common stock the shareholder would have been entitled
to receive by the Per Share Cash Consideration. Holders will not be entitled to
dividends, voting rights or any other rights as a shareholder with respect to
any fractional shares.

TREATMENT OF SOMERSET STOCK OPTIONS

    As of the effective time, each outstanding Somerset stock option will be
assumed by First Indiana and will be deemed to constitute an option to acquire,
on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Somerset stock
option, the same number of First Indiana common shares as the holder of such
Somerset stock option would have been entitled to receive pursuant to the merger
had the holder exercised the Somerset stock option in full immediately prior to
the effective time and elected to receive only First Indiana common shares in
the merger. The price per share for each option will be adjusted so that the
difference between the aggregate option price and the market value immediately
prior to the merger of the number of shares of First Indiana common stock
represented by the option will be equal to the difference between the aggregate
option price prior to the merger and the market value (based on the last closing
price prior to the merger) of the number of shares of Somerset common stock
represented by the option.

                                       37

UNCLAIMED MERGER CONSIDERATION

    Any merger consideration which is delivered to the exchange agent and is
unclaimed for six months will be returned to First Indiana, and any holders of
Somerset certificates will after that date only look to First Indiana for the
merger consideration, subject to applicable abandoned property or similar laws.

NO DISSENTERS' RIGHTS

    Under Indiana law, there are no dissenter's rights for shareholders of a
company which has shares registered on a national securities exchange or traded
through the Nasdaq National Market System. Accordingly, neither Somerset
shareholders nor First Indiana shareholders have any dissenters' rights or other
rights to demand fair value in cash as a result of the merger.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

    First Indiana will account for the merger as a "purchase," as that term is
used under generally accepted accounting principles, for accounting and
financial reporting purposes. Under purchase accounting, the assets and
liabilities of Somerset as of the effective time of the merger will be recorded
at their respective fair values and added to those of First Indiana. Any excess
of purchase price over the fair values is recognized as goodwill. Financial
statements of First Indiana issued after the effective time of the merger would
reflect such values and would not be restated retroactively to reflect the
historical financial position or results of operations of Somerset.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

    The merger agreement contains various customary representations and
warranties relating to, among other things:

    - the due organization, power, authority and standing of First Indiana and
      Somerset and similar corporate matters;

    - the capital structure of First Indiana and Somerset;

    - the authorization of the merger agreement by each party, the absence of
      any violations caused by the merger, and the required consents and

      Somerset with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

    - the absence of changes or events since information was most recently filed

      Woods, Inc., which provided financial advisory services to First Indiana,
      and McDonald Investments Inc., which provided financial advisory services
      to Somerset.

NO SOLICITATION OF TRANSACTIONS

    In the merger agreement, Somerset has agreed that it will not, and will
cause its subsidiaries and Somerset's and its subsidiaries' officers, directors,
agents, advisors and affiliates not to, solicit or encourage inquiries or
proposals with respect to, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide
any confidential information to, or have any discussions with, any person
relating to any:

    - tender or exchange offer;

    - proposal for a merger, consolidation or other business combination
      involving Somerset or any of its subsidiaries, other than the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement; or

    - proposal or offer to acquire in any manner a substantial equity interest
      in, or a substantial portion of the assets or deposits of, Somerset or any
      of its subsidiaries.

    However, if Somerset is not otherwise in violation of this provision, the
Somerset board may provide information to, and may engage in such negotiations
or discussions with, a person with respect to such a proposal, directly or
through representatives, if the Somerset board of directors, after consultation
with its outside counsel and McDonald Investments Inc., determines in good faith
that its failure to engage in any such negotiations or discussions would
constitute a failure to discharge properly the fiduciary duties of such
directors in accordance with Indiana law.

    Somerset must within 24 hours advise First Indiana following the receipt by
it of any such proposal and the substance of the proposal and advise First
Indiana of any developments with respect to such proposal immediately when they
occur.

AMENDMENT, WAIVER AND TERMINATION

    Prior to the effective time of the merger, certain provisions of the merger
agreement may be waived by the party benefitted by such provision or may be
amended or modified, by written agreement between First Indiana and Somerset.
However, after the Somerset special meeting the merger agreement may not be
amended if under Indiana law the amendment requires further approval of the
Somerset shareholders and such approval is not obtained.

    The merger agreement may be terminated, and the merger abandoned, at any
time prior to the effective time of the merger by mutual consent of Somerset and
First Indiana. In addition, the merger agreement may be terminated, and the
merger abandoned, prior to the effective time of the merger by either First
Indiana or Somerset if:

    - the other party breaches (1) a representation or warranty contained in the
      merger agreement, or (2) a covenant or other agreement contained in the
      merger agreement, which is reasonably likely, individually or in the
      aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the breaching party, and

(1) the First Indiana board of directors withdraws or materially changes its
recommendation to approve the merger agreement, or (2) Somerset simultaneously
enters into a definitive agreement with a third party that has made a Superior
Proposal (as defined in the merger agreement), but if Somerset terminates for
this reason it must deliver written notice of its intention to terminate at
least five days in advance. In addition, if either Somerset or First Indiana

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

    First Indiana has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless each director and
officer of Somerset and any subsidiary of Somerset for six years after the
effective time of the merger in connection with any threatened or actual claim,
action or investigation arising out of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of Somerset or any Somerset subsidiary at or prior to the
effective time, including all indemnified liabilities based on, or arising out
of, or pertaining to the merger agreement, the merger or the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement, to the full extent of Indiana law and
First Indiana's articles of incorporation.

    In addition, First Indiana has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to
include Somerset's directors and officers on its existing insurance, or to
obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance "tail" policy coverage for
Somerset's directors and executive officers for a period of two years, which
will provide the directors and officers with coverage on substantially similar
terms as currently provided by Somerset to such directors and officers for
claims based on activity prior to the effective time. However, First Indiana has
no obligation to pay more than $48,750 per year in premiums for the coverage.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER

    The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax
consequences to holders of Somerset common stock who hold such stock as a
"capital asset" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Special tax consequences may be applicable to
particular classes of taxpayers, such as financial institutions, insurance
companies, tax-exempt organizations, broker-dealers, traders in securities that
elect to mark to market, persons that hold Somerset common stock as part of a
straddle or conversion transaction, persons who are not citizens or residents of
the United States and shareholders who acquired their shares of Somerset common
stock through the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as
compensation. The following represents general information only and is based
upon the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations
thereunder, published rulings and decisions, all as currently in effect as of
the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with
retroactive effect. Tax considerations under state, local and foreign laws are
not addressed in this proxy statement/prospectus. ALL SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD
CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF THE ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX
AND ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND OF CHANGES IN SUCH
TAX LAWS.

    It is a condition to the merger that First Indiana receive an opinion of its
counsel for the merger, Bose McKinney & Evans LLP, that the merger will
constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the
Code and that Somerset receive an opinion of its counsel for the merger,
Barnes & Thornburg, that (1) the merger will constitute a "reorganization"
within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code and (2) no gain or loss
will be recognized by Somerset shareholders to the extent they receive First
Indiana common stock as consideration in exchange for shares of

                                       41
<PAGE>
Somerset common stock. In rendering such opinions, counsel may require and rely
upon representations contained in letters to be received from Somerset, First
Indiana and others. Neither of these tax opinions will be binding on the
Internal Revenue Service, but neither First Indiana nor Somerset intends to
request any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the U.S. federal
income tax consequences of the merger.

    TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER GENERALLY.  Based on the above assumptions
and qualifications, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) no gain or loss
generally will be recognized by First Indiana or Somerset pursuant to the
merger, (2) a shareholder of Somerset who exchanges all of its Somerset common
stock solely for cash in the merger will recognize gain or loss in an amount
equal to the difference between the cash received and such shareholder's
adjusted tax basis in the shares surrendered, (3) a shareholder of Somerset who
receives solely First Indiana common stock in exchange for its shares in the
merger will not recognize any gain or loss (except, as discussed below, to the
extent the shareholder receives cash in exchange for fractional shares) and
(4) a shareholder of Somerset who receives a combination of cash and First
Indiana common stock in the merger will not recognize loss but will recognize
gain, if any, on the shares so exchanged to the extent of any cash received.

    TAX FREE REORGANIZATION.  Neither First Indiana nor Somerset will recognize
any gain or loss with respect to the merger and the exchange of common stock and
securities made thereto, because the merger, if and when consummated in
accordance with the merger agreement, will constitute a tax-free reorganization
for Federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of
the Code.

    EXCHANGE OF SOMERSET COMMON STOCK SOLELY FOR FIRST INDIANA COMMON STOCK.  A
shareholder of Somerset who receives solely First Indiana common stock in
exchange for its shares in the merger will not recognize any gain or loss upon
such exchange, except to the extent that cash is received in lieu of a
fractional share of Somerset common stock, as discussed below. The aggregate
adjusted tax basis of the shares of First Indiana common stock received in such
exchange will be equal to the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the shares
surrendered therefor, and the holding period of the First Indiana common stock
will include the holding period of the shares of Somerset common stock
surrendered therefor, provided that the Somerset common stock was held as a
capital asset as of the merger.

    EXCHANGE OF SOMERSET COMMON STOCK FOR FIRST INDIANA COMMON STOCK AND
CASH.  A shareholder of Somerset who receives a combination of cash and shares
of First Indiana common stock in the merger will not recognize loss, but to the
extent cash is received will recognize gain, if any, on the shares so exchanged
to the extent of any cash received equal to the excess of the cash and the fair
market value of the First Indiana common stock received by the shareholder over
such shareholder's adjusted tax basis on the Somerset common stock exchanged
therefor. Any such recognized gain will be treated as capital gain unless the
receipt of the cash has the effect of the distribution of a dividend pursuant to
Section 356(a)(2) of the Code, in which case such gain will be treated as
ordinary dividend income to the extent of such shareholder's ratable share of
Somerset's accumulated earnings and profits. Any capital gain will be long-term
capital gain if, as of the date of the exchange, the holding period for such
shares is greater than one year. The following is a brief discussion of such
potential tax treatment; however, Somerset shareholders should consult their own
tax advisors as to the possibility that all or a portion of any cash received in
exchange for their Somerset common stock will be treated as a dividend.

    The stock redemption provisions of Section 302 of the Code apply in
determining whether cash received by a shareholder of Somerset pursuant to the
merger has the effect of a distribution of a dividend under Section 356(a)(2) of
the Code. Under this analysis (called the "hypothetical redemption analysis"), a
shareholder of Somerset will be treated as if the portion of the shares of
Somerset common stock exchanged for cash in the merger had been instead
exchanged for shares of First

                                       42
<PAGE>
Indiana common stock (the "hypothetical shares"), followed immediately by a
redemption of the hypothetical shares by First Indiana for cash. See Clark v.
Commissioner, 489 U.S. 726 (1989). Under the principles of Section 302 of the
Code, a shareholder of Somerset will recognize capital gain rather than dividend
income with respect to the cash received if the hypothetical redemption is
(1) "substantially disproportionate" with respect to such shareholder or
(2) "not essentially equivalent to a dividend."

    In applying the "substantially disproportionate" and "not essentially
equivalent to a dividend" tests, the constructive ownership rules of
Section 318 of the Code will apply in comparing the shareholder's ownership
interest in First Indiana both immediately after the merger (but before the
hypothetical redemption) and after the hypothetical redemption. The constructive
ownership rules of Section 318 fall into four categories. First, under the
family attribution category, an individual Somerset shareholder will be treated
as constructively owning Somerset common stock actually or constructively owned
by his or her spouse, children, grandchildren, and parents. There is no
attribution between siblings or from a grandparent to a grandchild. Second,
under the entity to beneficiary category, Somerset common stock that is actually
owned by a trust, estate, corporation, partnership, or limited liability company
is treated as being constructively owned by the beneficiaries, shareholders,
partners, and/or members in proportion to their interests in the trust, estate,
corporation, partnership, or limited liability company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
this rule does not apply to a shareholder who owns less than 50% of a
corporation that is a Somerset shareholder. Third, pursuant to the beneficiary
to entity category, all Somerset common stock that is actually owned by an
individual who is a beneficiary, shareholder, partner, or member of a trust,
estate, corporation, partnership, or limited liability company is treated as
being constructively owned by such trust, estate, corporation, partnership, or
limited liability company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that this rule does not apply to a
shareholder who owns less than 50% of a corporation and to a trust beneficiary
whose interest is a "remote contingent interest" (an interest whose actuarial
value is 5% or less of the trust property). Finally, under the option category,
a Somerset shareholder who holds an option to acquire Somerset common stock is
treated as constructively owning the underlying stock. Somerset common stock
that is attributed from one family member to another family member cannot be
reattributed to a third family member and stock that is attributed from a
beneficiary to an entity cannot be reattributed from the entity to another
beneficiary. Further, S corporations are treated as partnerships for purposes of
Section 318 of the Code.

    The hypothetical redemption would be "substantially disproportionate" if the
percentage of First Indiana common stock actually and constructively owned by
such shareholder immediately after the hypothetical redemption is less than 80%
of the percentage of First Indiana common stock actually and constructively
owned by such shareholder immediately before the hypothetical redemption if only
First Indiana common stock had been distributed in the merger.

    Even if the hypothetical redemption does not satisfy the "substantially
disproportionate" test, such hypothetical redemption may be "not essentially
equivalent to a dividend." Whether the hypothetical redemption by First Indiana
of the hypothetical shares for cash is "not essentially equivalent to a
dividend" with respect to a shareholder of Somerset will depend upon such
shareholder's particular circumstances. However, the hypothetical redemption
must, in any event, result in a "meaningful reduction" in such shareholder's
percentage ownership of First Indiana stock in order to qualify as "not
essentially equivalent to a dividend." In making such a determination, a
shareholder of Somerset should compare his or her share interest in First
Indiana (including interests owned actually, hypothetically and constructively)
immediately after the merger (but before the hypothetical redemption) to his or
her interest after the hypothetical redemption. Whether a "meaningful reduction"
occurs varies depending on the facts and circumstances of each shareholder. The
Internal Revenue Service has indicated in published rulings that a critical
factor in whether a reduction is meaningful is whether the holder has no actual
or constructive control (50% ownership) over corporate affairs immediately after
the exchange. Any shareholder whose relative stock interest in First Indiana

                                       43
<PAGE>
before the hypothetical redemption is minimal and who exercises no "control"
over corporate affairs is generally treated as having had a "meaningful
reduction" in his or her stock after the hypothetical redemption transaction if
his or her percentage stock ownership in First Indiana has been reduced to any
extent, taking into account the shareholder's actual and constructive ownership
before and after the hypothetical redemption.

    The aggregated adjusted tax basis of the shares of First Indiana common
stock received in such exchange will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the
shares surrendered therefor, decreased by the cash received and increased by the
amount of gain recognized, if any. The holding period of First Indiana common
stock will include the holding period of the shares of Somerset common stock
surrendered therefor.

    EXCHANGE OF SOMERSET COMMON STOCK SOLELY FOR CASH.  In general, in the case
of a shareholder of Somerset who exchanges all of its Somerset common stock for
cash in the merger, the cash will be treated as received by the shareholder as a
distribution in redemption of the shareholder's shares, subject to the
provisions and limitations of Section 302 of the Code. Where, after such
redemption, such shareholder does not own shares of Somerset common stock
actually or constructively through the constructive ownership rules of
Section 318(a) of the Code, the redemption will be treated as a complete
termination of interest within the meaning of Section 302(b)(3) of the Code.
Accordingly, such Somerset shareholder will recognize capital gain or loss equal
to the difference between the amount of cash received and such shareholder's
adjusted tax basis in the shares of Somerset common stock surrendered. The gain
or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the date of the
exchange, the holding period for such shares is greater than one year.

    CASH RECEIVED IN LIEU OF A FRACTIONAL INTEREST OF FIRST INDIANA COMMON
STOCK.  A shareholder of Somerset who receives cash in lieu of a fractional
share of First Indiana common stock will be treated as having received such
fractional share pursuant to the merger and then as having exchanged such
fractional share for cash in a redemption by First Indiana subject to
Section 302 of the Code. Such a deemed redemption will be treated as a sale of
the fractional share, provided that it is not "essentially equivalent to a
dividend" or is "substantially disproportionate" with respect to the Somerset
shareholder. (See above.) If the deemed redemption is treated as a sale of a
fractional share, a Somerset shareholder will recognize gain or loss equal to
the difference between the amount of cash received and the portion of the basis
of the shares of First Indiana common stock allocable to such fractional
interest. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if, as of the date of
the exchange, the holding period for such shares is greater than one year.

    EXCHANGE OF SOMERSET OPTIONS FOR FIRST INDIANA OPTIONS.  A Somerset
shareholder who exchanges his or her options to acquire Somerset common stock
for like options to acquire First Indiana common stock will recognize no gain or
loss on the exchange to the extent that the options constitute securities. SEE
Rev. Rul. 70-269, 1970-1 C.B. 82, AS MODIFIED BY Rev. Rul. 98-10, 1998-1 C B
643. The term "securities" includes rights (options) issued by a party to a
reorganization to acquire its stock. SEE Treas. Reg. Section 1.354-1(e).

    BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING.  Payments of cash to a holder
surrendering shares of Somerset common stock will be subject to information
reporting and "backup" withholding (whether or not the holder also receives
First Indiana common stock) at a rate of 31% of the cash payable to the holder,
unless the holder furnishes its taxpayer identification number in the manner
prescribed in applicable Treasury Regulations, certifies that such number is
correct, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding and meets
certain other conditions. Any amounts withheld from payments to a holder under
the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against the
holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is
furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

REGULATORY MATTERS

    OFFICE OF THRIFT SUPERVISION.  First Indiana and Somerset are both
registered savings and loan holding companies. The merger is subject to receipt
of approval from the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") under the Home
Owners' Loan Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and related OTS
regulations. This approval requires consideration of various factors, including
assessments of the competitive effect of the proposed merger and the managerial
and financial resources and future prospects of the resulting organization. The
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 also requires that the OTS, in deciding
whether to approve the merger, must assess the record of First Indiana Bank in
meeting the credit needs of the community it serves, including low and moderate
income neighborhoods. OTS regulations require publication of notice of, and an
opportunity for public comment with respect to, the application.


    The merger cannot proceed in the absence of the necessary regulatory
approvals. On August 9, 2000, the OTS advised First Indiana and Somerset that it
had approved the proposed merger with no conditions, restrictions or
requirements that the First Indiana board of directors has reasonably determined
would, following the effective time of the merger, have a material adverse
effect on First Indiana or reduce the benefits of the merger to such a degree
that First Indiana would not have entered into the merger agreement had such
conditions, restrictions or requirements been known as of the date of the merger
agreement. First Indiana and Somerset are not aware of any other regulatory
approvals required in order to complete the merger.


RESALES OF FIRST INDIANA COMMON STOCK

    The shares of First Indiana common stock to be issued in the merger will be
freely transferable under the Securities Act, except for shares issued to any
shareholder who may be deemed to be an "affiliate" (generally including, without
limitation, directors, certain executive officers, and beneficial owners of 10%
or more of any class of capital stock) of Somerset for purposes of Rule 145
under the Securities Act of 1933 as of the date of the special meeting.
Affiliates may not sell their shares of First Indiana common stock acquired in
the merger except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or other applicable exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act.

    Somerset has agreed in the merger agreement to use its reasonable best
efforts to cause each person who may be deemed to be an "affiliate" of Somerset
to execute and deliver to First Indiana an agreement pursuant to which such
person agreed, among other things, not to offer to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any of the shares of First Indiana common stock distributed to them
pursuant to the merger except in compliance with Rule 145 under the Securities
Act, or in a transaction that, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory
to First Indiana, is otherwise exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, or in an offering registered under the Securities Act. First
Indiana may place restrictive legends on certificates representing First Indiana
common stock issued to all persons who are deemed to be "affiliates" of Somerset
under Rule 145. This joint proxy statement and prospectus does not cover resales
of First Indiana common stock received by any person who may be deemed to be an
affiliate of Somerset. Affiliates of Somerset subject to Rule 145 may sell
shares of First Indiana common stock held by them during the one-year period
following the merger provided First Indiana remains current in its reporting
obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and two year period if it
does not) only in accordance with Rule 145(d), pursuant to an effective
registration statement or in transactions otherwise exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933.

               FIRST INDIANA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
  DECEMBER 31, 1997

    First Indiana Corporation posted another year of record earnings in 1999.
Net earnings were $22,733,000, or $1.81 per basic share, for the year ended
December 31, 1999, including a gain from the sale of the deposits of the
Evansville Division of First Indiana Bank, First Indiana's principal subsidiary.
This represents a 19 percent increase over 1998 earnings of $19,147,000, or
$1.50 per basic share. Earnings for the year ended December 31, 1997, were
$17,744,000, or $1.40 per basic share. Excluding the gain from the Evansville
sale, 1999 earnings were $21,738,000, or $1.73 per basic share, a 14 percent
increase, which is also a record.

    Diluted earnings per share, including the Evansville sale, were $1.77 for
the year, compared to $1.44 for the year ended December 31, 1998, and $1.69
excluding the Evansville sale.

    Return on average equity for 1999 was 13.37 percent, compared with
11.96 percent in 1998 and 12.16 percent in 1997.

    To reflect confidence in the continued earnings potential of First Indiana,
the board of directors authorized an 8 percent increase in First Indiana's
annual cash dividend, to $.56 per share from $.52 per share, beginning with the
first quarterly dividend payment on March 15, 2000. Dividends per common share
(adjusted for stock dividends and splits) were $.52 in 1999, $.48 in 1998, and
$.40 in 1997. All per-share amounts in the 1999 Annual Report have been adjusted
for all stock dividends and splits.

    During the third quarter of 1999, First Indiana completed two significant
events that affected earnings. These were the sale of $120 million of deposits
of First Indiana Bank's five Evansville, Indiana-area branches and changes in
First Indiana Bank's mortgage banking strategy.

    In August, First Indiana sold its Evansville Division to another bank. This
action reflects First Indiana Bank's relationship-based strategy as it allowed
First Indiana Bank to focus resources in Central Indiana, the fastest-growing
region of the state.

    Also in the third quarter, First Indiana Bank exited the traditional
mortgage banking business in favor of originating mortgages for relationship
customers. Mortgage lending has become a commodity business, where the only
differentiating factor for most customers is a low rate; consequently, First
Indiana shifted its emphasis onto products and services where First Indiana Bank
can add value in other ways. First Indiana continues to offer consumer loan
products, which allows First Indiana Bank to capitalize on prosperous markets
throughout the United States and diversify geographic risk, without the overhead
of fixed offices. The initial result of this change in strategy was a decrease
in residential loan originations. Residential mortgage loan originations
amounted to $494 million in 1999, compared with $744 million in 1998.

    Originations in home equity lending were $526 million, compared with
$433 million in 1998. This significant increase was a result of several factors.
First, First Indiana Bank continued to expand its distribution network and
currently provides loans in 45 states. Much of the expansion concentrated in the
western United States, where growth potential is strong. Second, First Indiana
Bank diversified its product offering and began pursuing larger first lien loans
more aggressively. Third, the environment of 1999 produced difficulties for some
competitors and gave First Indiana the opportunity to secure more business.
Last, in keeping with First Indiana Bank's overall strategy of deepening
relationships, plans were implemented to concentrate on loan originations
through a smaller number of larger producers. This resulted in operational
efficiencies as well as larger sales.

                                       47
<PAGE>
    Relationship building was a key in construction lending, and resulted in
originations of $521 million, compared with $481 million the previous year. In
addition, new markets were added, and a variety of unique products were
developed to take advantage of growing markets.

    Another area of asset growth in 1999 was the business-related segments of
the market. Business loans outstanding increased to $236 million at year-end
1999 from $179 million one year earlier.

    The significant growth in originations in these core assets areas translated
into growth on the balance sheet. At December 31, 1999, home equity,
construction, and business loans outstanding were $665 million, $274 million,
and $236 million, compared with $566 million, $216 million, and $179 million one
year earlier.

    The provision for loan losses in 1999 was $9,410,000, compared with
$9,780,000 in 1998 and $10,700,000 in 1997. By continuing to provide for loan
losses in a manner consistent with the higher risk associated with and losses
inherent in home equity, construction, and business lending, First Indiana
Bank's loan loss allowance was $28,759,000 at year-end, or 163 percent of
non-performing loans, compared with $25,700,000, or 150 percent of
non-performing loans, at December 31, 1998.

    FirstTrust Indiana, First Indiana Bank's trust and investment advisory
division, completed its first year of operation since receiving trust powers on
December 31, 1998. Account relationships have been accepted in three product
lines: personal trust, institutional investment management, and estate and
guardianship administration. Assets under management stood at approximately
$450 million at year-end 1999, approaching $1 billion during the year, including
a short-term institutional assignment.

    First Indiana's total assets increased 10.2 percent to $1,979,774,000 at
year-end, compared with $1,795,990,000 at December 31, 1998. Shareholders'
equity increased to $177,103,000 at December 31, 1999, a 6.7 percent increase
over the December 31, 1998 level of $165,970,000. The tangible and core capital
of First Indiana Bank was $157,725,000, or 7.98 percent of assets, which
exceeded regulatory minimums by $128,090,000 and $78,699,000 at year-end 1999.
Average shareholders' equity to average assets equaled 9.00 percent and
9.33 percent for 1999 and 1998.

    First Indiana Corporation is a non-diversified, unitary savings and loan
holding company. First Indiana Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. First Indiana is the
largest publicly held bank based in Indianapolis.

    NET INTEREST INCOME

    Net interest income is the most critical component of First Indiana's net
earnings. It is affected by both the volume and interest rate of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

    Net interest income was $70,851,000 in 1999, compared with $63,851,000 in
1998 and $64,034,000 in 1997. This increase is primarily due to growth in
earning assets, with 1999 levels at ten percent over 1998.

    NET INTEREST MARGIN

    First Indiana's net interest margin is the clearest indicator of its ability
to generate core earnings. The margin was 3.92 percent for the year ended
December 31, 1999, compared with 3.88 percent in 1998 and 4.39 percent in 1997.
Net interest margin consists of two components: interest-rate spread and the
contribution of interest-free funds (primarily shareholders' equity and other
non-interest-bearing liabilities). Interest-rate spread is the difference
between the return on total earning assets and the cost of total
interest-bearing liabilities.

    First Indiana's average interest-rate spread for the year ended
December 31, 1999 was 3.28 percent, compared with 3.16 percent in 1998 and
3.70 percent in 1997.

                                       48
<PAGE>
    The contribution of interest-free funds to First Indiana's net interest
margin varies depending on the level of capital and use of interest-free
liabilities. Average interest-free funds provided an additional 64 basis points
to the margin in 1999, compared with 72 and 69 basis points in 1998 and 1997.

    The following table presents an analysis of First Indiana's income-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

</TABLE>

    The increase in non-interest income was due to several important factors.
FirstTrust completed its first full year of operation, which produced a
significant increase in trust fees. Customer fee income grew substantially as a
benefit of a significant increase in the number of consumer and business
checking accounts during 1999. This growth was due to marketing efforts and the
fallout of mergers by other banks in the market. These increases were offset by
decreases in the gains on sales of investments and loans. During the third
quarter of 1999, First Indiana Bank recognized a $7.6 million gain on the sale
of deposits at its Evansville, Indiana-area branches. First Indiana Bank also
elected to sell certain loans and investment securities available for sale,
which resulted in a $4.4 million loss. In

                                       50

addition, approximately $1.6 million in various non-interest expenses related to
the Evansville and mortgage restructuring were recognized during the quarter.

    Non-interest expense increased in 1999, in support of several long-term
strategies; however, the majority of the increase was reflected in salaries and
benefits. Approximately $3.0 million, or 45%, of the increase in non-interest
expense can be attributed to record loan originations. Also, in connection with
the sale of the Evansville Division and the restructuring of First Indiana
Bank's mortgage lending business, appropriate severance packages were provided
for a number of employees, primarily in the third quarter. Furthermore, the
first full year of operation of First Indiana Bank's FirstTrust Division added
salaries and benefits for 11 employees. Even though salaries and benefits
increased compared to those of 1998, the fourth quarter saw a decrease of
8 percent over the prior fourth quarter. In addition, expenses rose due to Year
2000 preparedness planning. The "other" category increased as a consequence of
marketing and expenses related to First Indiana Bank's increase in the number of
checking accounts.

    ASSET QUALITY

    First Indiana's asset quality is directly affected by the credit risk of the
assets on its balance sheet. The procedures for reviewing the quality of First
Indiana's loans, the appropriateness of loan and real estate owned ("REO")
classifications, and the adequacy of loan and REO loss allowances are reviewed
by First Indiana's board of directors.

    GENERAL ALLOWANCES--First Indiana establishes general allowances as
percentages of loans outstanding. The percentages are based on First Indiana
Bank's risk model, which incorporates empirical data about loss experience,
credit risk, geographic diversity, general economic trends, and other factors.

    ADEQUACY OF ALLOWANCES--Management believes that First Indiana's current
loan and REO loss allowances are sufficient to absorb future losses inherent in
the current loan and REO portfolio. However, there can be no assurance that
additional allowances will not be required or that the amount of any such
allowances will not be significant. Various regulatory agencies periodically
review these allowances and may require First Indiana to recognize additions to
them.

                                       51
<PAGE>
    The Investment Committee of First Indiana's board of directors is
responsible for monitoring and reviewing investment quality and liquidity. This
committee approves investment policies and meets quarterly to review investment
transactions. Credit risk is controlled by limiting the number and size of
investments and by approving the brokers and dealers through which investments
are made.

    NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

    First Indiana has managed its loan portfolio to reduce concentration of loan
types and to diversify assets geographically. Non-performing assets, which
consist of non-accrual, impaired and restructured loans, REO, and other
repossessed assets, decreased to $19.4 million at December 31, 1999 from
$19.9 million one year earlier.

    NON-ACCRUAL, IMPAIRED, AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS--First Indiana places loans on
non-accrual status when payments of principal or interest become 90 days or more
past due, or earlier when an analysis of a borrower's creditworthiness indicates
that payments could become past due. A loan is considered impaired when it is
probable that all principal and interest amounts due will not be collected in
accordance with the loan's contractual terms. Impairment is recognized by
allocating a portion of the allowance for loan losses to such a loan to the
extent that the recorded investment of an impaired loan exceeds its value. A
loan's value is based on the loan's underlying collateral or the calculated
present value of projected cash flows discounted at the contractual interest
rate.

    The table below sets forth the amounts of First Indiana's non-performing
assets. The information pertaining to non-accrual loans and restructured loans
is set forth by type of loan.

    REAL ESTATE OWNED--Real estate owned is generally acquired through
foreclosure, and is carried at the lower of First Indiana Bank's book balance in
the property or the fair market value of the property, less reasonable costs of
disposition. A review of REO properties, including the adequacy of the loss
allowance and decisions whether to charge off REO, occurs in conjunction with
the review of the loan portfolios described above.

</TABLE>

    POTENTIAL PROBLEM ASSETS--First Indiana had $21.0 million in potential
problem loans at December 31, 1999. Of this amount, $16.8 million consisted of
loans to residential builders, $2.9 million represented loans to business
borrowers, and $1.3 million represented loans to commercial real estate/ land
development borrowers. These loans are currently performing according to their
loan agreements, but the borrower's financial operations and condition caused
management to question their ability to comply with present repayment terms. The
collateral for the builder loans is one-to-four family dwellings and fully
developed lots. The business loans are also collateralized with non-residential
real estate and other assets. The land development loans are collateralized with
developed lots or development in progress and raw land.

    SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE

    Loan losses decreased primarily due to reduced consumer and construction
loan charge-offs. The net charge-offs of $6.4 million, $6.5 million, and
$7.1 million in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively, reflect both the significant
increase in home equity loans outstanding and the adoption of a more
conservative charge-off policy. First Indiana Bank now writes down consumer
loans at the date of foreclosure and charges off the entire balance of home
equity loans greater than 120 days delinquent with loan-to-value ratios above
90 percent. If the loan has a loan-to-value ratio less than 90 percent, the loan
is written down to its estimated disposition value after considering any first
mortgage position and disposition costs.

    First Indiana Bank's loan loss provision of $9.4 million and $9.8 million in
1999 and 1998, respectively, reflects the improved charge-off experience and a
decrease in delinquencies in First Indiana Bank's portfolio of home equity
loans.

    The allowance for loan losses increased to $28,759,000 at December 31, 1999,
or 163 percent of the non-performing loans at year-end.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999



    SUMMARY OF CORPORATION'S RESULTS.  For the first six months of 2000, First
Indiana's net earnings were $11,696,000, compared with $9,651,000 one year ago.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, diluted earnings per share were $0.91,
compared with $0.75 for the same period one year ago. Cash dividends through the
first six months of 2000 and 1999 were $0.28 and $0.26 per share of common stock
outstanding, respectively.



    NET INTEREST INCOME.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net interest
income was $38,522,000, compared with $34,074,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. In order to enhance net interest income, First Indiana has
targeted the consumer, business, and construction loan portfolios for growth in
2000 while de-emphasizing residential loan portfolio growth.



    Net loans outstanding increased to $1,816,887,000 at June 30, 2000, compared
with $1,604,192,000 one year earlier. At June 30, 2000, home equity loans
outstanding were $734,747,000, compared with $603,507,000 at June 30, 1999, a
22 percent increase. Business loans were $283,883,000 at June 30, 2000, compared
with $196,715,000 one year earlier, a 44 percent increase. Consumer loans sales
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were $126,280,000, compared with
$144,212,000 for the same period in 1999. Residential loan sales for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 were $9,856,000, compared with $254,002,000 for the
same period in 1999. This drop is consistent with First Indiana Bank's strategy
related to exiting the mortgage business.



    Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $83,440,000,
compared with $70,300,000 for the same period in 1999. Interest expense for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $44,918,000 and $36,226,000,
respectively. The increase in interest expense is related to an increase in
costs of funds and the growth in deposits and the increase in short-term
borrowings to fund the increase in loans outstanding.



    For the six months ended June 30, 2000, First Indiana's cost of funds was
5.25 percent, compared with 4.74 percent for the same period in 1999. For the
six months ended June 30, 2000, the yield on earning assets was 8.47 percent,
compared with 7.97 percent for the same period in 1999. These changes are both
related to the rising interest rate environment.



    For the six months ended June 30, 2000, First Indiana's annualized return on
total average assets was 1.15 percent, compared with 1.05 percent for the same
period in 1999.

    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 First Indiana's ability to generate strong net
interest income resulting from a prudent combination of assets and liabilities.

</TABLE>



    Non-accruing delinquent loans have been included in average interest-earning
assets.



    Margin has been closely monitored throughout the industry because recent
interest rate increases have put upward pressure on deposit costs and
borrowings. To counteract this, the Bank has focused efforts on prime-based
business and consumer lending, which helps ease the downward pressure on net
interest margin. A direct result of loan growth has been favorable gains in net
interest income. However, loan growth has outpaced deposit growth, causing an
increase in borrowed funds.

table analyzes the allowance for loan losses and REO for the six months ended

    Non-performing assets were $24,058,000, or 1.14 percent of assets, at
June 30, 2000. This compares with $19,399,000, or 0.98 percent of assets, at
December 31, 1999 and $16,984,000, or 0.89 percent of assets, at June 30, 1999.
This category includes not only non-accrual loans and real estate owned, but
also restructured loans on which First Indiana Bank continues to accrue
interest. Since December 31, 1999, the growth in non-performing assets consists
of $664,000 in Land Development loans, $1,940,000 in Construction loans, and
$2,015,000 in Home Equity loans.



    First Indiana Bank regularly reviews all non-performing assets to evaluate
the adequacy of the allowances for losses on loans and REO inherent in the loan
portfolio. 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 amount of the provision in 2000 is the result of management's ongoing
evaluation of the adequacy of its loan and real estate owned loss allowances and
the changing composition of First Indiana's loan portfolio and REO. Management
will continue to evaluate the adequacy of the provision and will adjust it if
necessary, based on the risk inherent in the portfolio.



    NON-INTEREST INCOME.  For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, total
non-interest income was $10,157,000 and $12,309,000, respectively.



    Non-interest income was down primarily due to a reduction in gain on sale
for loans and a decrease in loan fees. Gain on sale of loans is down $2,245,000
and loan fees are down $620,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to the same period last year. This stems from a restructuring of First Indiana
Bank's mortgage operations in October of 1999. As planned, construction lending
originations of residential construction and permanent mortgage loans are down
from the same period last year, resulting in a reduction of loan fees. The
decrease in non-interest income is offset by a decrease in non-interest expense
from the mortgage operations restructuring.



    The gain on sale of loans of $2,323,000 for the six month period ended
June 30, 2000 consists primarily of gains on the sale of fixed-rate home equity
loans, but also includes gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans. The
gain on sale of loans for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 was
$4,568,000. A national network of agents, coupled with a call center, has
allowed First Indiana Bank to aggressively pursue originations of home equity
products with loan-to-value ratios of greater than 80 percent. First Indiana
Bank processes and underwrites these loans and subsequently sells them into the
secondary market. In some cases, First Indiana Bank retains the servicing rights
on the home equity loan sales.



    First Indiana's residential loan servicing portfolio amounted to
$789,603,000 at June 30, 2000, compared with $768,100,000 at June 30, 1999. The
consumer loan servicing portfolio was $315,337,000 at June 30, 2000, compared
with $172,910,000 at June 30, 1999.



    Loan and deposit charges increased $814,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared with the same period last year, primarily as a result of
First Indiana Bank's successful promotional campaigns to acquire new checking
accounts.



    FirstTrust Indiana, a division of First Indiana Bank, had $527,637,000 in
trust assets under management at June 30, 2000. Trust fees generated from these
assets are also included in other non-interest income.



    During the first quarter of 1999, the Bank recognized $905,000 on the sale
of $148 million in loan servicing rights, which is included as a component of
other non-interest income.



    NON-INTEREST EXPENSE.  Non-interest expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $24,731,000 and $25,748,000, respectively. Salaries
and benefits decreased $556,000 during the six


                                       57
<PAGE>

months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 1999. Occupancy expenses decreased
$216,000 for the six months when compared with 1999. Both are primarily due to
the discontinuance of mortgage banking operations and the sale of the Evansville
division in the third quarter of 1999. Resources have been redeployed to
commercial and consumer banking. Equipment, a component of other operating
expenses, increased $396,000 in 2000 compared with 1999, primarily due to
additional depreciation of equipment and software related to hardware and
software improvements.



    Deposit insurance premiums for the six months ended June 30, 2000 were
$133,000, compared to $358,000 for the same period in 1999. This reduction is
due to a drop in premiums to realign thrift deposit insurance with that of
banks.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY


    CAPITAL.  At June 30, 2000, shareholders' equity was $185,058,000, or
8.73 percent of total assets, compared with shareholders' equity of
$177,103,000, or 8.95 percent of total assets, at December 31, 1999 and
$166,716,000, or 8.70 percent of total assets, at June 30, 1999.



    In April 1999, First Indiana's board of directors authorized the repurchase
from time to time of up to an additional $10,000,000 of First Indiana's
outstanding common stock. Of the additional $10,000,000 authorized, $3,963,000
has been repurchased as of June 30, 2000. Through December 31, 1999, First
Indiana had repurchased a total of 1,088,813 shares of its common stock, at a
cost of $13,981,000, or 9 percent of its shares outstanding.


    In November 1997, First Indiana's board of directors established a
shareholder rights agreement, whereby each common shareholder is entitled to one
preferred stock right for each share of common stock held. The rights "flip in"
upon the acquisition of 20 percent of First Indiana's outstanding common stock
in a takeover attempt, and offer current shareholders a measure of protection of
their investment in First Indiana.


    First Indiana paid a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per common share on
June 16, 2000 to shareholders of record as of June 6, 2000. This reflects an
increase from a quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share in 1999. For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, First Indiana has paid $0.28 in dividends, compared
to $0.26 for the same period in 1999.

    The following table shows First Indiana Bank's strong capital levels and
compliance with all capital requirements at June 30, 2000. First Indiana Bank is
classified as "well-capitalized" under the OTS regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, its highest classification. To be categorized as "well-
capitalized," First Indiana Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, tier
one risk-based and tier one leverage ratios as set forth in the table. The table
reflects categories of assets includable under OTS regulations. There are no
conditions or events since the date of classification that management believes
have changed First Indiana Bank's category.

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


    First Indiana Bank's primary source of funds is its deposits, which were
$1,312,115,000 at December 31, 1999, $1,227,918,000 at December 31, 1998 and
$1,376,203,000 at June 30, 2000.


    In recent years, First Indiana has relied on loan payments, loan payoffs,
sale of loans, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, repurchase agreements,
mortgage-backed bonds, and floating-rate notes as sources of funds. Although
First Indiana Bank will continue to rely on core retail deposits as its chief
source of funds, the use of borrowed funds, including Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, continues to be an important component of First Indiana Bank's
liquidity.

    Scheduled loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, but loan
payoffs, the sale of loans, and deposit inflows and outflows fluctuate
significantly, depending on interest rates and economic conditions. However,
management does not expect any of these items to occur in amounts that would
affect First Indiana's ability to meet consumer demand for liquidity or
regulatory liquidity requirements.


    Regulations require the director of the OTS to set minimum liquidity levels
between four and 10 percent of assets. In the fourth quarter of 1997, the
regulations were altered to lower the liquidity requirement to four percent of
net withdrawable assets, and the definition of net withdrawable assets was
simplified. This change did not have a significant impact on First Indiana's
liquidity position. First Indiana Bank's average liquidity ratio for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000, was 4.39 percent.

IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

    FASB Statement No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," was issued in June 1999. Statement
No. 137 defers the effective date of Statement No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for one year. Statement No. 133,
as amended, is now effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000.

    FASB Statement No. 133 generally requires that derivatives embedded in
hybrid instruments be separated from their host contracts and be accounted for
separately as derivative contracts. For instruments existing at the date of
adoption, Statement No. 133 provides an entity the option of not applying this
provision to such hybrid instruments entered into before January 1, 1998 and not
substantially modified thereafter. Consistent with the deferral of the effective
date for one year, Statement No. 137 also provides an entity the option of not
applying this provision to the hybrid instruments entered into before
January 1, 1998 or 1999 and not substantially modified thereafter. Management is
currently assessing the impact of this statement on the financial condition and
results of operations of First Indiana in the year of adoption.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

    First Indiana Bank was required by the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council ("FFIEC") to assess both First Indiana Bank's and its
vendors' ability to be Year 2000 ready by June 30, 1999. Because First Indiana
Bank relies heavily on technology for transaction processing and interest
calculation, preparing for the Year 2000 was a critical focus of First Indiana
Bank's resources. In addition to testing the technology, First Indiana Bank also
made plans to ensure the availability of funds in order to meet potentially high
liquidity needs during December 1999.

    RISKS OF YEAR 2000 ISSUES--First Indiana Bank faced two primary risks
regarding Year 2000 issues: technical and liquidity risks. Technical risk refers
to possible disruption of the bank's operations because of computer failure at
the bank or third parties. The most serious effect on the operations of First
Indiana Bank could have resulted if basic services provided by the bank's
external service bureau were disrupted; however, disruption in services such as
telecommunications and electric power could have also had a serious effect on
the business, operations, and/or financial condition of the bank. Liquidity risk
refers to the concern that Bank customers would withdraw substantial amounts of
currency in response to fears about the Year 2000. The bank took several steps
to address this possibility.

    STATE OF READINESS--First Indiana Bank assembled a team of associates to
lead the bank's Year 2000 readiness efforts. All hardware and software vendors,
as well as other significant vendors and borrowers, were identified and
contacted to determine their readiness. The bank developed action plans and
contingency plans for known potential Year 2000 readiness issues. This included
completing integrated testing of interdependent systems, testing date interfaces
with third parties, and developing Bank-wide contingency plans which were tested
during the latter half of the year. The OTS conducted regular examinations of
all financial institutions to assess Year 2000 readiness in accordance with
FFIEC guidelines. The bank's external data services bureau, which provides most
of the automated processing of First Indiana's customer transactions, was also
examined by the OTS.

    COSTS TO ADDRESS YEAR 2000 ISSUES--First Indiana Bank's expenditures
associated with the Year 2000 as of December 31, 1999 totaled $4.7 million.
These costs included major system renovations, an upgrade of all desktop
personal computers throughout the bank, implementation of an independent
location for Year 2000 testing, and fees related to third-party vendor testing.
First Indiana Bank expensed $774,000 of these expenditures in 1999. The
remaining expenditures relating to system and equipment purchases were
capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                       60
<PAGE>
While these costs are fairly self-evident, it is not possible to assess the
financial impact of lost revenue due to Year 2000 issues attributable to
external factors, although management foresees no internal impact or risk to the
bank's ability to operate in the 21st century.

    CONTINGENCY PLANS--Even though First Indiana Bank made significant efforts
to assess, remediate, and test its technical systems to address Year 2000
processing issues, contingency plans were also developed. These plans were
intended to provide alternative processes and actions in the event of systems
malfunctions or failure due to Year 2000 issues. First Indiana Bank was required
to follow FFIEC guidance advising two levels of contingency planning:
remediation and business resumption. Remediation contingency plans addressed the
actions to be taken if the remediation efforts fell behind schedule or appeared
in jeopardy of not delivering a Year 2000 ready system when required.

    First Indiana Bank defined remediation contingency plan requirements that
were intended to provide alternative processes and actions to address failed or
unsuccessful remediation efforts. The first priority was core processes and
mission-critical systems. Business resumption contingency plans addressed the
actions that would be taken if key business processes could not be performed in
the normal manner due to Year 2000 related system or third party failures. The
bank developed business resumption contingency plans for each of its key
business processes and completed testing of them in November 1999. The business
resumption plans of the bank include the four phases cited in the FFIEC
contingency planning process. These four phases are (1) establishment of
organization planning guidelines; (2) completion of a business impact analysis,
including the definition of Year 2000 failure scenarios; (3) development of a
contingency plan for core systems including contingency trigger dates; and
(4) review and periodic testing of plan viability.


    Throughout the rollover period into Year 2000 and the first seven months of
the New Year, there were no significant Year 2000-related system issues;
however, First Indiana Bank will continue to monitor these issues.


FINANCIAL CONDITION


    First Indiana's total assets at June 30, 2000, were $2,119,047,000, an
increase of $139,273,000 from $1,979,774,000 at December 31, 1999. Total assets
at December 31, 1998 were $1,795,990,000.



    Net loans receivable at June 30, 2000, were $1,816,887,000, compared with
$1,673,422,000 at December 31, 1999 and $1,518,543,000 at December 31, 1998. The
predominant growth in loans occurred in the targeted portfolios of business and
consumer, all of which increased from year-end 1999.



    The composition of First Indiana Bank's loan portfolio continued to change
in 2000 and 1999, as the bank added higher-yielding loans to the balance sheet
through the origination of home equity, residential construction, and business
loans.


    Consumer loans outstanding were $675,763,000 at the end of 1999, compared
with $580,525,000 one year earlier. Construction loans outstanding increased to
$274,010,000, compared with $216,059,000 at the end of 1998. First Indiana Bank
focused on offering new products to builders and customers in 1999 in order to
develop a multi-faceted relationship. Business loans outstanding increased to
$235,941,000, compared with $178,933,000 at the end of 1998. Residential loans
outstanding amounted to $481,034,000 at December 31, 1999, compared with
$536,124,000 in 1998. This is due to First Indiana Bank's departure from the
traditional mortgage banking business.

    Total loan sales in 1999 amounted to $718,028,000, compared with
$608,243,000 in 1998 and $217,132,000 in 1997.


    First Indiana Bank's residential loan servicing portfolio was $789,603,000
at June 30, 2000, compared with $843,443,000, $908,582,000 and $969,089,000 at
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,


                                       61
<PAGE>

respectively. The decrease in residential loan servicing is due to two factors.
First, the bank sold $148 million in residential loan servicing during the first
quarter of 1999. Second, with the mortgage restructuring, the bank is
originating fewer residential mortgage loans. The bank's consumer loan servicing
portfolio was $315,337,000 at June 30, 2000, compared with $260,223,000,
$106,243,000 and $54,645,000 at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The strategy of First Indiana Bank is to continue to build the consumer loan
servicing portfolio. The servicing portfolio provides a source of fee income,
but is subject to fluctuations as rates fall and serviced loans pay off.


    To fund asset growth, First Indiana emphasized lower cost demand and savings
deposits. As a result of this strategy, average balances of NOW and Money Market
accounts increased to $99 million in 1999, from $85 million in 1998. A similar
increase occurred in Passbook and Savings Statement accounts, with average
balances rising to $376 million in 1999, from $331 million in 1998. In the
fourth quarter of 1999, First Indiana introduced an Indexed Money Market account
as further evidence of this strategy. In addition, First Indiana Bank continues
to use borrowed fund and jumbo certificates of deposit for funding.


    Total deposits were $1,376,203,000 at June 30, 2000, compared with
$1,312,115,000 at December 31, 1999 and $1,227,918,000 at December 31, 1998.
This increase is primarily due to an increase in retail checking deposits and
jumbo certificates of deposit. Non-interest-bearing deposits consist of retail
and commercial checking accounts, as well as official checking accounts.
Commercial checking accounts are expected to become a more significant source of
funds. Included in commercial checking accounts at June 30, 2000, December 31,
1999 and December 31, 1998 were approximately $9,364,000, $3,407,000 and
$4,285,000, respectively, of escrow balances maintained for loans serviced for
others. These balances represent principal, interest, taxes, and insurance that
require separate maintenance at the request of the investor. Official checking
accounts at June 30, 2000, December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 were
$26,477,000, $26,111,000 and $51,293,000 respectively.



    Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $421,759,000 at June 30, 2000,
compared with $366,854,000 at December 31, 1999 and $327,247,000 at
December 31, 1998.


    First Indiana also 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 lending activities.


    INTEREST-RATE SENSITIVITY.  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
June 30, 2000, First Indiana's cumulative one-year interest-rate gap stood at a
negative 6.39 percent compared to a negative 8.50 percent at December 31, 1999.
This means that at June 30, 2000 6.39 percent of First Indiana's liabilities
will reprice within one year without a corresponding repricing of the assets
they fund. Because of the changing interest rate environment, it is management's
intention to continue to reduce this liability sensitive position throughout the
year.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK

    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.

    The management of interest-rate risk entails the control, within acceptable
limits, of the impact on earnings caused by fluctuating interest rates and
changing rate relationships. In this process, management uses an internal
earnings simulation model to identify and measure interest-rate sensitivity. The
Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO") and the board of directors review the
earnings impact of various changes in interest rates each month and manage the
risk to maintain an acceptable level of change to net interest income. First
Indiana Bank also monitors interest rate sensitivity using GAP analysis. This
method recognizes the dynamics of the balance sheet and the effect of changing
interest rates on First Indiana's net earnings.

    The cumulative rate-sensitivity gap reflects First Indiana's sensitivity to
interest-rate changes over time. It is a static indicator and does not attempt
to predict the net interest income of a dynamic business in a rapidly changing
environment. Significant adjustments are made when the rate outlook changes.

    At December 31, 1999, First Indiana's six-month and one-year cumulative gap
stood at a negative 5.32 percent and a negative 8.50 percent of total
interest-earning assets. This compares with a positive 7.74 percent and a
positive 6.88 percent at December 31, 1998. This means that 5.32 and
8.50 percent of First Indiana's liabilities will reprice within six months and
one year without a corresponding repricing of the assets they are funding. The
1999 gap position represents funding choices made by First Indiana Bank late in
the year and is not indicative of future anticipated gap positions. Management
intends to maintain a relatively neutral gap position to manage the volatility
of earnings.

    First Indiana's success is largely dependent upon its ability to manage
interest-rate risk, which is defined as the exposure of First Indiana's net
interest income and net earnings to changes in interest rates. ALCO is
responsible for managing interest-rate risk and First Indiana has established
acceptable limits for interest-rate exposure, which are reviewed on a monthly
basis. First Indiana Bank uses a model which measures interest-rate sensitivity
to determine the impact on net earnings of immediate and sustained upward and
downward movements in interest rates. Incorporated into the model are
assumptions regarding the current and anticipated interest rate environment,
estimated prepayment rates of certain assets and liabilities, forecasted loan
and deposit originations, contractual maturities, and renewal rates on
certificates of deposits, estimated borrowing needs, anticipated loan loss
provision, projected secondary marketing gains and losses, expected repricing
spreads on variable-rate products, and contractual maturities and repayments on
lending and investment products. The model incorporates interest-rate sensitive
instruments which are held to maturity or available for sale. First Indiana Bank
has no trading assets.


    Based on the information and assumptions in effect at June 30, 2000,
management believes that a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest
rates over a 12 month period would result in a 3.8 percent decrease and a
6.3 percent decrease in net earnings, respectively, because of the change in net
interest income. Because of the numerous assumptions used in the computation of
interest-rate sensitivity, and the fact that the model does not assume any
actions the ALCO could take in response to the change in interest rates, the
results should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.


    Historically First Indiana Bank enters into forward sales contracts for
future delivery of residential fixed-rate mortgage loans at a specified yield in
order to limit market risk associated with its pipeline of residential mortgage
loans held for sale and commitments to fund residential mortgage loans. Market
risk arises from the possible inability of either party to comply with the
contract terms.

    First Indiana Bank designates these forward sales contracts as hedges. To
qualify as a hedge, the forward sales contract must be effective in reducing the
market risk of the identified anticipated

                                       65
<PAGE>
residential mortgage loan sale which is probable to occur. Effectiveness is
evaluated on an ongoing basis through analysis of the residential mortgage loan
pipeline position. Commitments under these forward sales contracts and the
underlying residential mortgage loans are valued, and the net position is
carried at the lower of cost or market. Unrecognized gains and losses on these
forward sales contracts are generally immaterial and are charged to current
earnings as an adjustment to the gain or loss on residential mortgage loan sales
when realized, or when the contract matures or is terminated.

                            FIRST INDIANA'S BUSINESS

FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION

    First Indiana Corporation, an Indiana corporation formed in 1986, is a
nondiversified, unitary savings and loan holding company. The principal asset of
First Indiana is the outstanding stock of First Indiana Bank, its wholly owned
subsidiary. First Indiana has no separate operations, and its business consists
only of First Indiana Bank.

FIRST INDIANA BANK

    First Indiana is a federally chartered stock savings bank whose depository
accounts are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Established in 1934, First
Indiana was operated as a federally chartered, mutual savings and loan
institution until August 1983, when it converted to a federal stock savings
bank. First Indiana has $2.1 billion in assets and is the largest publicly held
bank based in Indianapolis.

    First Indiana is engaged primarily in the business of attracting deposits
from the general public and originating home equity loans, residential
construction loans, and business loans. First Indiana offers a full range of
banking services through 23 banking offices located throughout metropolitan
Indianapolis, Franklin, Pendleton, Westfield, Mooresville, and Rushville,
Indiana. First Indiana Bank also originates home equity loans indirectly through
a network of loan originators and loan agents throughout the United States.

    During the third quarter of 1999, First Indiana completed two significant
events, both of which are discussed more fully in Item 7. These were the sale of
$120 million of deposits of First Indiana Bank's five Evansville, Indiana-area
branches and changes in First Indiana Bank's mortgage banking strategy.

    In August, First Indiana sold its Evansville Division to another bank. This
action reflects First Indiana Bank's relationship-based strategy as it allowed
First Indiana Bank to focus resources in Central Indiana, the fastest-growing
region of the state.

    Also in the third quarter, First Indiana Bank exited the traditional
mortgage banking business in favor of originating mortgages for relationship
customers. Mortgage lending has become a commodity business, where the only
differentiating factor for most customers is a low rate of interest;
consequently, First Indiana shifted its emphasis to products and services where
First Indiana Bank can add value in other ways. First Indiana continues to offer
consumer loan products, which allows First Indiana Bank to capitalize on
prosperous markets throughout the United States and diversify geographic risk,
without the overhead of fixed offices.

    First Indiana has construction and consumer loan service offices throughout
Indiana and in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, and Oregon. In
early 1999, First Indiana established a new operating subsidiary, One Investment
Corporation. One Investment Corporation purchases and sells loan participations
originated by First Indiana and by others in the secondary market.

    FirstTrust Indiana, First Indiana Bank's trust and investment advisory
division, completed its first year of operation since receiving trust powers on
December 31, 1998. Account relationships have been accepted in three product
lines: personal trust, institutional investment management, and estate and
guardianship administration. FirstTrust enables First Indiana to diversify
sources of non-interest income while providing a broader spectrum of products to
retail and commercial customers.

    The metropolitan area served by First Indiana consists of Indianapolis, the
State's capital and largest city, and the surrounding six-county suburban and
agricultural areas in the central part of the State. The population of the
metropolitan Indianapolis area in 1990 was approximately 1,200,000.
Indianapolis' diversified economy includes manufacturing and service industries,
such as Eli Lilly &

                                       70
<PAGE>
Company (pharmaceuticals), the federal and state governments, General Motors
(automotive), and Ameritech (communications).

    First Indiana experiences substantial competition in attracting and
retaining deposits and in lending funds. The primary factors in competing for
deposits are the ability to offer attractive interest rates and products, and
meeting and exceeding customer expectations regarding office locations and
flexible hours. Direct competition for deposits comes from other depository
institutions, money market mutual funds, and other investment products. The
primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates, loan origination
fees, and loan product variety. Competition for origination of loans normally
comes from other depository institutions, lending brokers, and insurance
companies.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

    GENERAL.  First Indiana has a substantial market presence in residential
construction lending, commercial real estate lending, business loans, and
consumer loans, primarily home equity loans originated both on a direct and
indirect basis.

    To minimize the mismatch between the duration of its interest-rate-sensitive
assets and liabilities, First Indiana has a policy of (i) increasing its
portfolio of adjustable-rate and shorter-term mortgage, consumer, and business
loans; (ii) selling most fixed-rate, longer-term loans into the secondary market
unless those loans can be funded by liabilities of a similar maturity; and
(iii) increasing transaction accounts, which are less volatile than certificates
of deposit.

    LOAN PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION.  The following tables set forth information
concerning the composition of First Indiana's loan portfolio in dollar amounts
and in percentages, by type of security, and by type of loan. Also presented is
a reconciliation of total loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities
("loans") before net items to loans receivable after net items. Net items
consist of loans in process (undisbursed portion of loan balances), deferred
income, unearned discounts and unamortized premiums, and allowances for loan
losses.

    RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS.  The original contractual loan payment period
for residential loans originated by First Indiana normally ranges from 10 to
30 years. Because borrowers may refinance or prepay their loans, however, such
loans normally remain outstanding for a substantially shorter period. First
Indiana sells most fixed-rate residential loans to secondary market investors,
including the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and the Federal
National Mortgage Association ("FNMA").

    During the third quarter of 1999, First Indiana Bank exited the traditional
mortgage banking business in favor of originating mortgages for relationship
customers. Mortgage lending has become a commodity business, where the only
differentiating factor for most customers is a low rate; consequently, First
Indiana shifted its emphasis onto products and services where First Indiana Bank
can add value in other ways. The initial result of this change in strategy was a
decrease in residential loan originations. Residential mortgage loan
originations amounted to $494 million in 1999, compared with $744 million in
1998. Another result was

                                       73
<PAGE>
a reduction in the sales of residential mortgage loans into the secondary market
as part of First Indiana Bank's normal mortgage banking activity. This resulted
in pre-tax gains of $1.3 million during 1999, compared with gains of
$3.0 million in 1998.

    First Indiana's fixed-rate mortgage loans include a due-on-sale clause,
which gives First Indiana Bank the right to declare a loan immediately due and
payable if, among other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of the
real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not repaid. Due-on-sale
clauses are generally considered important tools to prevent both the
unrestricted transfer of low interest-rate loans in high interest-rate
environments and the corresponding increase in the average life of such loans.
First Indiana's policy is to enforce these clauses in its loan contracts.

    First Indiana's construction loans are made both to individuals and
builders. These loans have terms ranging from six months to one year and include
options for the homebuyer to convert the loan to fixed- or adjustable-rate
permanent financing. The interest rate on construction loans is generally one
percent over First Indiana Bank's prime rate and adjusts upon changes in the
prime rate. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, First Indiana Bank's gross
construction loans outstanding equaled $453 million and $407 million,
respectively.

    COMMERCIAL LOANS.  First Indiana offers a variety of commercial loans,
primarily business loans and commercial real estate loans (including land
development loans).

    Included in business loans at December 31, 1999 are $25 million in land
development loans, which are exclusively for the acquisition and development of
land into individual single-family building lots. The interest rate on land
development loans is generally one and one-quarter percent over First Indiana
Bank's prime rate, which adjusts upon changes in the prime rate, and the term of
these loans is generally 36 months.


    The following table presents the remaining maturities and rate sensitivity
of residential construction and business loans at December 31, 1999.

    Multi-family and commercial real estate lending was a substantial part of
First Indiana's business activities from the early 1970s until 1991, when such
activity was largely curtailed because of the economic environment. With the
changing economic environment and improved market for commercial real estate
lending, First Indiana Bank intends to increase somewhat its volume of these
loans to include permanent financing for selected apartments, office buildings,
and warehouses, though much of this additional volume will be sold. First
Indiana Bank's management continues to monitor the credit quality of these loans
aggressively, both with respect to new originations and loans already in the
portfolio.

    CONSUMER LENDING.  As part of its strategy for growth, First Indiana has
increased its origination and purchase of consumer loans, primarily home equity
loans and home equity lines of credit. At December 31, 1999, such loans totaled
$675.8 million, of which $26.6 million were held for sale, compared with
$580.5 million, of which $45.9 million were held for sale, at December 31, 1998.
Much of the increase in 1999 occurred as First Indiana capitalized on
alternative delivery channels for originations by utilizing a national network
of originators.

    Consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than
residential loans but involve somewhat higher credit risks, particularly for
unsecured lending. Of the $675.8 million of consumer loans outstanding at
December 31, 1999, 98.4 percent were secured by first or second mortgages on
real property, 0.2 percent was secured by deposits, and 1.4 percent were secured
by personal property or were unsecured.

    First Indiana offers revolving lines of credit and loans secured by a lien
on the equity in the borrower's home in amounts up to 100 percent of the
appraised value of the real estate. For lines of credit at or below an
80 percent loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio, the interest rate is typically the WALL
STREET JOURNAL prime rate plus one or two percent, depending on the amount of
the loan. The interest rate rises in various increments as the LTV ratio
increases. The highest rate charged is the WALL STREET JOURNAL prime rate plus
4.5 percent for lines of credit at a 100 percent LTV. At December 31, 1999,
First Indiana Bank had approximately $364.2 million in home equity loans above
80 percent LTV. Holders of revolving lines of credit with up to an 80 percent
LTV ratio are billed monthly for interest at the daily periodic rate due on the
daily loan balances for the billing cycle. Generally, holders of revolving lines
of credit above 85 percent LTV are required to pay all interest due, with a
minimum payment of $50. At December 31, 1999, First Indiana had approved
$286 million of 80 percent LTV lines of credit, of which $133 million were
outstanding, compared with $252 million of such lines which had been approved at
December 31, 1998, $110 million of which were outstanding.

    First Indiana also offers variable- and fixed-rate term home equity loans
with up to a 100 percent LTV ratio. Borrowers of fixed-rate term loans make
fixed payments over a term ranging from one to 15 years. Variable-rate term
loans in excess of 80 percent LTV feature monthly payments equal to two percent
of the outstanding loan balance.

    First Indiana makes loans secured by deposits and overdraft loans in
connection with its checking accounts. First Indiana also offers auto loans;
fixed-rate, fixed-term unsecured loans; and Visa credit cards through an agent.

    Consumer loans may entail greater risk than residential mortgage loans,
particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or secured by
rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles. First Indiana has endeavored to
reduce certain of these risks by, among other things, employing individuals
experienced in this type of lending and emphasizing prompt collection efforts.
In addition, First Indiana adds general provisions to its loan loss allowance,
in amounts determined to be adequate to cover loan losses inherent in the
portfolio, at the time the loans are originated.

                                       75
<PAGE>
    Federal regulations limit the amount of consumer loans that savings
institutions are able to originate and hold in their loan portfolios. First
Indiana complies with such regulations, and the amount of its consumer loan
portfolio is approximately $514 million below the maximum permitted at
December 31, 1999.

    ORIGINATION, PURCHASE, AND SALE OF LOANS.  As a federally chartered savings
bank, First Indiana has general authority to make real estate loans throughout
the United States. At December 31, 1999, however, over 45% of First Indiana's
real estate loans receivable were secured by real estate located in Indiana.
First Indiana Bank originates home equity loans through a national network of
consumer lending offices, which has expanded to include 45 states.

    Interest rates charged by First Indiana on its loans are affected primarily
by the demand for such loans and the supply of money available for lending
purposes. These factors are in turn affected by general economic conditions and
such other factors as monetary policies of the federal government, including the
Federal Reserve Board, the general supply of money in the economy, legislative
tax policies, and governmental budgetary matters.

    Loan originations come from a number of sources. Residential loan
originations are attributable primarily to referrals from real estate brokers,
builders, and walk-in customers. Construction loan originations are obtained
primarily by direct solicitation of builders and repeat business from builders.
Multi-family and commercial real estate loan originations are obtained from
previous borrowers and direct contacts with First Indiana. Consumer loans come
from walk-in customers, loan brokers, agents, and originators.

    First Indiana obtains title insurance on secured properties and requires
borrowers to obtain hazard insurance and, if applicable, flood insurance. First
Indiana's appraisers note any obvious environmental problems, and the title
companies used to close loans give First Indiana an endorsement insuring over
any existing environmental liens.

    INCOME FROM LENDING ACTIVITIES.  In making long-term one- to four-family
home mortgage loans, First Indiana generally charges an origination fee of one
percent of the loan amount. As part of the loan application, the applicant also
reimburses First Indiana for its out-of-pocket costs in reviewing the
application, such as the appraisal fee, whether or not the loan is closed. The
interest rate charged is normally the prevailing market rate at the time the
loan application is received. Commitments to home purchasers generally have a
term of 60 days or less from the date First Indiana issues the loan commitment.

    In the case of one-to-four-family residential construction loans, First
Indiana charges a one to three percent non-refundable commitment fee. Interest
rates on construction loans are based on the prevailing market rate at the time
the commitment is extended. Commitment fees and other terms of commercial real
estate and business loans are individually negotiated.

    First Indiana earns fees on existing loans, including prepayment charges,
late charges, and assumption fees.

    SERVICING ACTIVITY.  First Indiana's sale of whole loans and loan
participations in the secondary market generates income and provides additional
funds for loan originations. During 1999, First Indiana Bank identified and sold
$148 million in out-of-market loan servicing at a gain of $905,000.

    At December 31, 1999, First Indiana serviced approximately $1,104 million in
loans and loan participations which it had sold. As of December 31, 1999,
approximately $7.5 million in loans, or about 0.4 percent of First Indiana's
mortgage-backed securities and loans receivable after net items, were serviced
by others.

                                       76
<PAGE>
    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 carrying value of an individual mortgage
servicing rights stratum over its estimated fair value, and is recognized
through a valuation allowance.

    Fair values for individual strata 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. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the balance of capitalized loan
servicing rights included in other assets was $8,759,000 and $5,770,000, with a
fair market value of $11,405,000 and $6,865,000. The amounts capitalized in
1999, 1998, and 1997 were $6,040,000, $3,891,000 and $893,000, and the amounts
amortized to loan servicing income were $1,919,000, $1,823,000 and $819,000.

ASSET QUALITY

    GENERAL.  First Indiana's asset quality is directly affected by the credit
risk of the assets on its balance sheet. Most of First Indiana's credit risk is
concentrated in its loan portfolios and, to a lesser extent, its real estate
owned ("REO") portfolio. Consequently, First Indiana has established policies
and procedures to ensure accurate and timely assessment of credit risk from the
date the loan is originated or purchased.

    The procedures for reviewing the quality of First Indiana's loans, the
appropriateness of loan and REO classifications, and the adequacy of loan and
REO loss allowances fall within the purview of First Indiana's board of
directors. To manage these tasks, the board of directors has established a
two-tiered asset review system. Under this system, standing management
committees regularly discuss and review potential losses on all loans and REO
and the adequacy of First Indiana's loan and REO loss allowances.
Recommendations on the allowances are forwarded to the Investment Committee of
First Indiana's board of directors for approval each quarter, then presented to
the full board of directors for approval and ratification. Management committees
also recommend loan and REO classifications which, if approved by the Investment
Committee of the board of directors, are referred to the full board for final
approval and ratification.

    The second part of First Indiana's asset review system is managed by an
independent chief credit officer appointed by the board of directors. The chief
credit officer makes an independent evaluation of First Indiana's portfolio and
management's recommendations on allowances for loan and REO losses. He regularly
reviews these recommendations with First Indiana's Chairman and the Chairman of
the Executive Committee of the board of directors. These meetings give the chief
credit officer a forum for discussing asset quality issues with members of the
board of directors. This system provides an independent review and assessment of
management's recommendations about loan and REO classifications and loss
allowances. This entire process is subject to the continual review and approval
by the board of directors.

    An allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL") is established for each
significant loan portfolio of First Indiana Bank in an amount adequate to absorb
the losses inherent within each loan portfolio.

                                       77
<PAGE>
The ALLL is segmented into three major components based on the credit
characteristics of the underlying loans within each loan portfolio: Special
Mention Loans, Classified Loans and Pass Loans (loans not rated Special Mention
or Classified).

    A Risk Rating Analysis (loan grade) is completed on all loans that exceed a
minimum loan amount threshold for the asset specific loan portfolios, namely,
construction, business, commercial real estate and land development lending. The
Risk Rating Analysis is an eight grade system with five pass grades. The final
three grades, Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful correlate to the Office
of Thrift Supervision's criticized assets. The loans with a grade of Special
Mention or worse exhibit or may exhibit certain defined weaknesses which, if
left uncorrected, may jeopardize the full repayment of the loan. These loans
pose a higher level of risk to First Indiana Bank than the loans in a Pass
grade. Therefore, loans with a grade of Special Mention, Substandard or Doubtful
are assigned a Target Reserve within the ranges established by the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS").

    For the homogeneous loan portfolios and the asset specific loan portfolios
where the loan amount is less than the minimum threshold established for that
portfolio, when a loan becomes contractually delinquent 90 days in either
interest or principal, the loan is considered non-accrual and is classified as
Substandard. All other loans within these portfolio segments are considered pass
loans. For the asset specific loan portfolios, a loan is considered non-accrual
based on the specific circumstances but in no event later than a contractual
delinquency of 90 days in either interest or principal.

    The determination of the required ALLL ("Target Reserve") for Pass Loans is
based on two different analyses of the empirical data for each loan portfolio
over the preceding 36 months. The first analysis, the Trend Forecast, consists
of linear and non-linear regression analysis of the loans outstanding, the level
and trend of delinquencies and the level and trend of net charge-offs for the
portfolio. The second analysis, the Formula Calculation, is completed for each
loan portfolio and is based on the correlation of the level of loans delinquent
60 days or more to the level of net charge-offs. The result of each analysis is
the projected level of net charge-offs for the next twelve months for the
individual loan portfolio.

    Due to the potentially positive impact to net charge-offs of other factors
specific to a loan portfolio's performance and for new loan products within a
loan portfolio, a Policy Limit is established for each loan portfolio. The
Policy Limit represents the minimum level of loss established for each portfolio
and is based on historical losses for First Indiana Bank's loan portfolios in
conjunction with expected losses for similar loan types within First Indiana
Bank's loan portfolio.

    The greater of the Policy Limit, Trend Forecast or Formula Ratio for each
loan portfolio is set as the Base Reserve for that portfolio. The Base Reserve
is then adjusted for factors that may influence the loan portfolio's actual net
charge-offs. The final adjusted Base Reserve is equal to the Target Reserve for
the Pass Loans for an individual loan portfolio.

    The regulatory classification of loans and determination of non-accrual
status is completed each month. The determination of the Target Reserve for the
pass portfolio using the analyses discussed above is completed on a quarterly
basis and the Target Reserve adjusted accordingly.

    In addition to the ALLL established for each loan portfolio, First Indiana
Bank maintains an unallocated ALLL to cover the residual losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. As discussed above, the Target Reserve for the Pass Loans is
established for a 12-month period. A residual loss is the inherent loss within
the loan portfolio over the life of the loans in the portfolio.

    Management believes that First Indiana's current loan and REO loss
allowances are sufficient to absorb potential losses which are inherent in the
loan portfolio; however, there can be no assurance that additional allowances
will not be required or that the amount of any such allowances will not be
significant. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examinations, periodically review these allowances and may require First
Indiana to recognize additions to the

                                       78
<PAGE>
allowances based on their judgment about information available at the time of
their examination. No such additions were required by the OTS in their most
recent examinations of First Indiana.

    The Investment Committee of First Indiana's board of directors is
responsible for monitoring and reviewing First Indiana's liquidity and
investments. The Investment Committee approves investment policies and meets
quarterly to review transactions. Credit risk is controlled by limiting the
number and size of investments and by approving the brokers and agents through
which investments are made.

    REGULATORY CLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS.  Federal regulations require that each
savings institution regularly classify its own assets. In addition, in
connection with examinations of savings institutions, the OTS and the FDIC
examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, to
require them to be classified.

    There are three classifications for problem assets: Substandard, Doubtful
and Loss. Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are
characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some
loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses
of Substandard assets, with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses
make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts,
conditions and values questionable, and there is a significant possibility of
loss. An asset classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little
value that continuation as an asset of the savings institution is not warranted.

    Assets classified as Substandard or Doubtful require the savings institution
to establish prudent general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion
thereof is classified as Loss, the savings institution must either establish
specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100 percent of the portion
of the asset classified Loss or charge off such amount. If a savings institution
does not agree with an examiner's classification of an asset, it may appeal this
determination to the District Director of the OTS.

    On the basis of management's review of its assets as of December 31, 1999 on
a net basis, First Indiana had classified $40.3 million as Substandard, compared
with $31.8 million and $33.4 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The amount of First Indiana's Doubtful and Loss loans at each such
date was immaterial.

    NON-PERFORMING ASSETS.  First Indiana categorizes its non-performing assets
into four categories: Non-Accrual Loans, Impaired Loans, Restructured Loans, and
Real Estate Owned.

    First Indiana places loans on non-accrual status when payments of principal
or interest become 90 days or more past due, or earlier when an analysis of a
borrower's creditworthiness indicates that payments could become past due. Total
non-accrual loans were $16.0 million at December 31, 1999, compared with $17.2
and $18.4 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    Loans are classified as impaired when an analysis of a borrower's
creditworthiness indicates it is unlikely that the borrower can meet contractual
obligations for principal and interest repayments. At December 31, 1999, First
Indiana had identified one impaired loan, totaling $1.72 million, which had an
allocated reserve of $710,000.

    REO is generally acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and
is carried at the lower of cost (the unpaid balance at the date of acquisition
plus foreclosure and other related costs) or fair market value less reasonable
disposal costs to sell. A review of REO properties, including the adequacy of
the loss allowance and decisions whether to charge off REO, occurs in
conjunction with the review of the loan portfolios.

    First Indiana has carefully managed its loan portfolio, including its
non-performing assets, to reduce exposure to the commercial real estate loan
sector and to diversify its assets geographically and by type of loan.
Accordingly, First Indiana has not experienced the difficulties faced by savings

                                       79
<PAGE>
institutions which have had concentrations in areas of the country most
adversely affected by economic cycles. First Indiana's non-performing assets
fell in 1999 to $19.4 million at December 31, 1999 from $19.9 million one year
earlier.

    SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE.  First Indiana regularly reviews the status
of all non-performing assets to evaluate the adequacy of the allowances for
losses on loans and REO. For additional information relating to First Indiana's
loan and REO loss allowances, see First Indiana's Consolidated Financial
Statements, including Note 5 thereto.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

    Federally chartered savings institutions have authority to invest in various
types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury obligations, securities
of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposits of insured banks
and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, and federal funds.
Subject to various restrictions, federally chartered savings institutions may
also invest a portion of their assets in commercial paper and corporate debt
securities and in mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments a
federally chartered savings institution is otherwise authorized to make
directly.

    As an Indiana corporation, First Indiana has authority to invest in any type
of investment permitted under Indiana law. As a savings and loan holding
company, however, its investments are subject to certain regulatory restrictions
described under "Savings Institution Regulation."

    The relative mix of investment securities and loans in First Indiana's
portfolio is dependent upon management's evaluation of the yields available on
loans compared to investment securities. The board of directors has established
an investment policy, and the Investment Committee of the board meets quarterly
with management to establish more specific investment guidelines about types of
investments, relative amounts, and maturities. First Indiana's current
investment guidelines limit purchases of corporate bonds to an investment rating
of A- or greater. Liquid investments are managed to ensure that regulatory
liquidity requirements are satisfied.

    As required by SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities, First Indiana continually reassesses the classification of
securities as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. During the third
quarter of 1998, management changed its positive intent to hold held-to-maturity
investments and mortgage-backed securities. Accordingly, the entire portfolios
of mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $19,274,000 and
investment securities with an amortized cost of $5,243,000 were transferred from
held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. At the time of the transfer, these
mortgage-backed securities and investment securities had unrecognized gains of
$374,000 and $86,000, respectively, which were recognized as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Management elected to
transfer these securities which had been previously designated as
held-to-maturity.

    At December 31, 1999, First Indiana's investments totaled $103.2 million, or
5.21 percent of total assets, and consisted primarily of U.S. Treasury and
agency obligations, corporate debt securities and asset-backed securities. For
additional information concerning investments held by First Indiana at certain
dates, see First Indiana's Consolidated Financial Statements, including Note 2
thereto.

    At December 31, 1999, First Indiana also had mortgage-backed securities
classified as available for sale. At December 31, 1999, these mortgage-backed
securities totaled $54.7 million, or 2.76 percent of total assets. For
additional information concerning mortgage-backed securities held by First
Indiana, see First Indiana's Consolidated Financial Statements, including Notes
2 and 3 thereto.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

    GENERAL.  Deposits are an important source of First Indiana's funds for use
in lending and for other general business purposes. In addition to deposits,
First Indiana derives funds from repayments

                                       80
<PAGE>
of loans and mortgage-backed securities, Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis
("FHLB") advances, repurchase agreements, short-term borrowings, and sales of
loans. Repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively
stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows are significantly
influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions. Borrowings may
be used to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds, such as deposit
inflows at less than projected levels, or to support expanded activities.
Historically, First Indiana's borrowings have been primarily from the FHLB and
through repurchase agreements.

    DEPOSITS.  First Indiana has a wide variety of deposit programs designed to
attract both short-term and long-term deposits from the general public. These
deposit accounts include passbook accounts, non-interest-bearing consumer and
commercial demand accounts, NOW accounts, and money market checking accounts, as
well as fixed-rate certificates and money market accounts. In 2000, First
Indiana plans to continue to increase consumer and commercial checking accounts
and certificates of deposit in an effort to reduce funding costs and strengthen
core deposits.

    The following table shows the distribution of First Indiana's deposits by
interest-rate categories at each of the dates indicated:

    BORROWINGS.  The FHLB of Indianapolis functions as a central reserve bank
providing credit for depository institutions in Indiana and Michigan. As a
member of the FHLB, First Indiana is required

                                       81
<PAGE>
to own capital stock in the FHLB and is authorized to apply for advances on the
security of such stock and certain of First Indiana's residential mortgage loans
and other assets, subject to credit standards. The FHLB advances are made
pursuant to several different credit programs, each with its own interest rate
and range of maturities.

    The FHLB prescribes the acceptable uses for advances and imposes size limits
on them. Acceptable uses have included expansion of residential mortgage lending
and short-term liquidity needs. Depending on the program, limitations on the
amount of advances are generally based on the FHLB's assessment of the
institution's creditworthiness. At December 31, 1999, First Indiana had
$366.9 million in FHLB advances (18.53 percent of total assets), with a weighted
average interest rate of 5.75 percent.

    First Indiana also enters into repurchase agreements as a short-term source
of borrowing, but only with registered government securities dealers.

    The following table sets forth certain information regarding repurchase
agreements and federal funds purchased (short-term borrowings) at and for the
years ended on the dates indicated.

REGULATORY CAPITAL

    RISK-BASED CAPITAL.  Savings institutions are required to have risk-based
capital of eight percent of risk-weighted assets. At December 31, 1999, First
Indiana's risk-based capital was $176.1 million, or 11.10 percent of
risk-weighted assets. Risk-based capital is defined as common equity, less
goodwill, the excess portion of land loans with a loan-to-value ratio of greater
than 80 percent, and investments in non-mortgage-lending-related subsidiaries,
plus general allowances for loan losses. Risk-weighting of assets is derived
from assigning one of four risk-weighted categories to an institution's assets,
based on the degree of credit risk associated with the asset. The categories
range from zero percent for low-risk assets (such as United States Treasury
securities) to 100 percent for high-risk assets (such as real estate owned). The
carrying value of each asset is then multiplied by the risk-weighting applicable
to the asset category. The sum of the products of the calculation equals total
risk-weighted assets.

    CORE CAPITAL.  Savings institutions are also required to maintain a minimum
leverage ratio, under which core (Tier One) capital must equal at least
4 percent of total assets, but not less than the minimum required by the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") for national banks, which minimum
currently stands at 4 percent. First Indiana's primary regulator, the OTS, is
expected to adopt the OCC minimum. The components of core capital are the same
as those set by the OCC for national banks, and consist of common equity, plus
non-cumulative preferred stock and minority interest in consolidated
subsidiaries, minus certain intangible assets, including purchased loan
servicing. At December 31, 1999, First Indiana's core capital and leverage ratio
were $157.7 million and 7.98 percent.

                                       82
<PAGE>
    TANGIBLE CAPITAL.  Savings institutions must also maintain minimum tangible
capital of 1.5 percent of total assets. First Indiana's tangible capital and
tangible capital ratio at December 31, 1999, were $157.7 million and
7.98 percent, respectively.

    CAPITAL REGULATIONS.  The OTS has minimum capital standards that place
savings institutions into one of five categories, from "critically
undercapitalized" to "well-capitalized," depending on levels of three measures
of capital. A well-capitalized institution as defined by the regulations has a
total risk-based capital ratio of at least ten percent, a Tier One (core)
risk-based capital ratio of at least six percent, and a leverage (core)
risk-based capital ratio of at least five percent. At December 31, 1999 First
Indiana was classified as "well-capitalized."

    The OTS adopted regulations adding an interest-rate risk component to the
proposed capital regulations. Under this component, an institution with an
"above normal" level of interest-rate risk exposure is subject to an "add-on" to
its risk-based capital requirement. "Above normal" interest-rate risk is defined
as a reduction in "market value portfolio equity" (as defined) resulting from a
200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, if the decline in value
exceeds two percent of the institution's assets. Institutions failing to meet
this test will be required to add to their risk-based capital.

    The OTS issued this final rule to implement the portions of Section 305 of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, which
requires the agencies to revise their risk-based capital standards for insured
depository institutions to ensure that those standards take adequate account of
concentration of credit risk and the risks of nontraditional activities. The
final rule amends the risk-based capital standards by explicitly identifying
concentration of credit risk and certain risks arising from nontraditional
activities, as well as an institution's ability to manage these risks, as
important factors in assessing an institution's overall capital adequacy. Based
on its interest-rate risk at December 31, 1999, First Indiana was not required
to add to its risk-based capital under this regulation.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

    The consolidated financial statements and related data presented herein have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power
of money over time due to inflation.

    Almost all of the assets and liabilities of a savings institution are
monetary, which limits the usefulness of data derived by adjusting a savings
institution's financial statements for the effects of changing prices.

REGULATION

    FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1991.  The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), contains
various provisions intended to recapitalize Bank Insurance Fund and enacts a
number of regulatory reforms that affect all insured depository institutions,
regardless of the insurance fund in which they participate. Among other things,
FDICIA grants the OTS broader regulatory authority to take prompt corrective
action against insured institutions that do not meet capital requirements,
including placing severely under-capitalized institutions into conservatorship
or receivership. Since First Indiana exceeded all capital requirements at
December 31, 1999, these provisions are not expected to have an impact on its
operations.

    GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT OF 1999.  On November 12, 1999, President Clinton
signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB Act"). The general effect of
the law is to establish a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among
commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms and other financial
service providers by repealing certain provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act and
revising

                                       83
<PAGE>
and expanding the Bank Holding Company Act framework to permit a holding company
system to engage in a full range of financial activities through a new entity
known as a "Financial Holding Company." "Financial activities" is broadly
defined to include not only banking, insurance and securities activities, but
also merchant banking and additional activities approved by order or regulation
of the Federal Reserve Board. The GLB Act also permits national banks to engage
in certain expanded activities through the formation of financial subsidiaries
and restricts financial institutions from sharing customer nonpublic personal
information with non-affiliated parties unless the customer has had an
opportunity to opt out of the disclosure.

    In addition, the GLB Act provides that no company may acquire control of an
insured savings association after May 4, 1999, unless that company either
(i) engages only in the financial activities permissible for a Financial Holding
Company or (ii) is a grandfathered, unitary savings and loan holding company.
The GLB Act generally grandfathers any company that was a unitary savings and
loan holding company on May 4, 1999. Such a company may continue to operate
under present law as long as (i) the company continues to control only one
savings institution or its successor (excluding supervisory acquisitions) that
it controlled on May 4, 1999 and (ii) each controlled institution meets the
qualified thrift lender test. First Indiana is a grandfathered unitary savings
and loan holding company.

    First Indiana does not believe that the GLB Act will have any immediate,
material impact on its operations. However, to the extent that the GLB Act
permits commercial banks, securities firms and insurance companies to affiliate,
the Act may have the effect of increasing the amount of competition that First
Indiana faces from other companies offering financial products, many of which
may have substantially more financial resources.

    SAVINGS AND LOAN HOLDING COMPANY REGULATIONS

    Under the Home Owner's Loan Act ("HOLA"), as amended, the Director of the
OTS has regulatory jurisdiction over savings and loan holding companies. First
Indiana, as a savings and loan holding company within the meaning of HOLA, is
subject to regulation, supervision and examination by and the reporting
requirements of the Director of OTS.

    SAVINGS INSTITUTION REGULATION

    GENERAL.  As a SAIF-insured savings institution, First Indiana is subject to
supervision and regulation by the OTS. Under OTS regulations, First Indiana is
required to obtain audits by independent auditors and to be examined
periodically by the Director of OTS. First Indiana is subject to assessments by
OTS and the FDIC to cover the costs of such examinations. The OTS may revalue
assets of First Indiana based upon appraisals and require the establishment of
specified reserves in amounts equal to the difference between such revaluation
and the book value of the assets. The Director of the OTS also is authorized to
promulgate regulations to ensure the safe and sound operations of savings
institutions and may impose various requirements and restrictions on the
activities of savings institutions.

    The regulations and policies of the OTS for the safe and sound operations of
savings institutions can be no less stringent than those established by the OCC
for national banks. Additionally, under the FDICIA, the OTS prescribed safety
and soundness regulations in 1995 relating to (i) internal controls, information
systems, and internal audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit
underwriting; (iv) interest-rate exposure; (v) asset growth; and
(vi) compensation and benefit standards for officers, directors, employees and
principal shareholders. These regulations did not have a material effect on
First Indiana.

    As a member of SAIF, First Indiana is also subject to regulation and
supervision by the FDIC, in its capacity as administrator of SAIF, to ensure the
safety and soundness of SAIF.

                                       84
<PAGE>
    During the most recent trust examination, the OTS examiners verbally
informed First Indiana Bank that a federal savings bank rendering investment
advice for a fee may be required to file Form ADV with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a "registered investment advisor" under the
Investment Advisors Act of 1940. While national and state "banks" are
specifically exempted from this requirement, it is unclear whether federal
savings banks are included in the definition for this purpose.

    First Indiana Bank is currently compiling the data necessary to complete the
SEC filing and take any other actions that may be required for full compliance
with the Investment Advisors Act, if necessary, but is concurrently seeking
advice of legal counsel for clarification of the responsibilities of a federal
savings bank under the Act.

    QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER REQUIREMENT.  In order for First Indiana to exercise
the powers granted to federally chartered savings institutions and maintain full
access to FHLB advances, it must be a "qualified thrift lender" ("QTL"). A
savings institution is a QTL if its qualified thrift investments equal or exceed
65 percent of the savings institution's portfolio assets on a monthly average
basis in nine out of 12 months. As amended by the FDICIA, qualified thrift
investments generally consist of (i) various housing related loans and
investments (such as residential construction and mortgage loans, home
improvement loans, mobile home loans, home equity loans, and mortgage-backed
securities); (ii) certain obligations of the FDIC, the Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Corporation Resolution Fund and the Resolution Trust Corporation (for
limited periods); and (iii) shares of stock issued by any Federal Home Loan
Bank, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or the Federal National
Mortgage Association.

    At December 31, 1999, the qualified thrift investment percentage test for
First Indiana was near 83 percent. First Indiana complies with the new QTL test
as revised upon enactment of FDICIA.

    LIQUIDITY.  Under applicable federal regulations, savings institutions are
required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets (including cash,
certain time deposits, certain banker's acceptances, certain corporate debt
securities and highly rated commercial paper, securities of certain mutual funds
and specified United States government, state or federal agency obligations)
equal to a monthly average of not less than a specified percentage of
withdrawable deposits plus short-term borrowings. Under HOLA, this liquidity
requirement may be changed from time to time by the Director of the OTS to any
amount within the range of four percent to ten percent, depending upon economic
conditions and the deposit flows of member institutions. First Indiana Bank's
liquidity ratio at December 31, 1999 was 6.80 percent. In 1997, the OTS lowered
the liquidity requirement to four percent of net withdrawable assets, simplified
the definition of net withdrawable assets, and eliminated a separate requirement
for short-term liquidity. At December 31, 1999, First Indiana was in compliance
with these liquidity requirements.

    LOANS-TO-ONE-BORROWER LIMITATIONS.  HOLA generally requires savings
institutions to comply with the loans-to-one-borrower limitations applicable to
national banks. In general, national banks may make loans to one borrower in
amounts up to 15 percent of the bank's unimpaired capital and surplus, plus an
additional 10 percent of capital and surplus for loans secured by readily
marketable collateral. At December 31, 1999, First Indiana's loan-to-one
borrower limitation was approximately $27.7 million, and no loans to a single
borrower exceeded that amount.

    COMMERCIAL REAL PROPERTY LOANS.  HOLA limits the aggregate amount of
commercial real estate loans that a federal savings institution may make to an
amount not in excess of 400 percent of the savings institution's capital. First
Indiana was in compliance with the commercial real property loan limitation at
December 31, 1999.

    LIMITATION ON CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS.  Under OTS regulations, a savings
institution has no restrictions on capital distributions as long as, after the
distribution, it is still classified as "adequately capitalized." An adequately
capitalized savings association is one with a total risk-based capital ratio of

                                       85
<PAGE>
8 percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4 percent or greater,
and a leverage ratio of 4 percent or greater. No regulatory approval of the
capital distribution is required, but prior notice must be given to the OTS.

    LIMITATION OF EQUITY RISK INVESTMENTS.  Under applicable regulations, First
Indiana is generally prohibited from investing directly in equity securities and
real estate (other than that used for offices and related facilities or acquired
through, or in lieu of, foreclosure or on which a contract purchaser has
defaulted). In addition, OTS regulations limit the aggregate investment by
savings institutions in certain equity risk investments including equity
securities, real estate, service corporations and operating subsidiaries and
loans for the purchase of land and construction loans made after February 27,
1987 on non-residential properties with loan-to-value ratios exceeding
80 percent. At December 31, 1999, First Indiana was in compliance with the
equity risk investment limitations.

    INSURANCE OF DEPOSITS.  FDIC-insured institutions pay deposit insurance
premiums depending on their placement within one of nine categories. The
categories are determined by (i) the insured institution's placement in capital
group 1, 2, or 3, depending on its classification as "well-capitalized,"
"adequately capitalized," or "undercapitalized," and (ii) its supervisory rating
of A, B, or C. Prior to October 1, 1996, well-capitalized institutions with a
supervisory rating of A paid $.23 per $100 of deposits, while undercapitalized
institutions with a rating of C paid $.31 per $100 of deposits.

    In the third quarter of 1996, the FDIC levied an industry-wide special
assessment to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"),
which insures First Indiana's customers' deposits. First Indiana Bank incurred a
one-time pre-tax charge to earnings of $6,749,000 to comply with this
assessment. Beginning January 1, 1997, deposit insurance premiums between $.00
and $.27 per $100 of deposits are in effect, based on the same nine-category
rating system discussed in the previous paragraph. The Deposit Insurance Funds
Act of 1996 ("Funds Act") also separated, effective January 1, 1997, the
Financing Corporation ("FICO") assessment to service the interest on its bond
obligations from the SAIF assessment. As part of the deposit insurance
assessments, institutions pay a FICO assessment for debt service requirements.
The FICO assessment rate is subject to change on a quarterly basis, depending on
the debt service requirements. In January 2000, First Indiana paid $.0212 per
$100 of deposits to comply with this assessment. The total deposit insurance
expense paid was $712,000, $691,000, and $693,000 for 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively.

    First Indiana was a well-capitalized institution throughout 1999, and paid
no deposit insurance premiums other than the FICO assessment. Because it is
well-capitalized, First Indiana will continue to pay no deposit insurance
premiums in 1999, but these premiums could increase in the future if the
aggregate SAIF premiums paid by all SAIF-insured institutions do not equal or
exceed 1.25% of insurable deposits.

    COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT.  Ratings of savings institutions under the
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") must be disclosed. The disclosure
includes both a four-tier descriptive rating using terms such as satisfactory
and unsatisfactory and a written evaluation of each institution's performance.
Also, the FHLB is required to adopt regulations establishing standards of
community investment and service for members of the FHLB System to meet to be
eligible for long-term advances. Those regulations are required to take into
account a savings institution's CRA record and the member's record of lending to
first-time home buyers. At December 31, 1999, First Indiana Bank's rating was
"satisfactory." First Indiana Bank intends to maintain its long-standing record
of community lending and to meet or exceed the CRA standards under FIRREA.

    TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

    Pursuant to HOLA, transactions engaged in by a savings institution or one of
its subsidiaries with affiliates of the savings institution generally are
subject to the affiliate transaction restrictions contained in Sections 371c
(23A) and 371c-1 (23B) of the Federal Reserve Act. Section 371c (23) of the
Federal

                                       86
<PAGE>
Reserve Act imposes both quantitative and qualitative restrictions on
transactions engaged in by a member depository institution or one of its
subsidiaries with an affiliate, while Section 371c-1 (23B) of the Federal
Reserve Act requires, among other things, that all transactions with affiliates
be on terms substantially the same as and at least as favorable to the member
bank or its subsidiary as the terms that would apply to or would be offered in a
comparable transaction with an unaffiliated party.

    Section 375b (22(h)) of the Federal Reserve Act imposes restrictions on
loans to executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders. Under
Section 375b (22(h)), loans to an executive officer or to a greater than
10 percent shareholder of a savings institution, or certain affiliated entities
of either, may not exceed the institution's loan-to-one-borrower limit when
considered with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated
entities. Section 375b (22(h)) also prohibits loans above amounts prescribed by
the appropriate federal banking agency to directors, executive officers, and
greater than 10 percent shareholders of a savings institution and their
respective affiliates, unless the loan is approved in advance by a majority of
the board of directors of the institution, with any interested director not
participating in the voting. The Federal Reserve Board has prescribed the loan
amount (which includes all other outstanding loans to such person) for which
such prior board of director approval is required, as the greater of $25,000 or
5 percent of capital and surplus. Prior board of director approval is also
required if an amount is requested that, when aggregated with all other
extensions of credit to that person, and all related interests of that person,
exceeds $500,000. First Indiana is in compliance with these regulations.

    FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM

    The Federal Home Loan Bank System ("FHLB") consists of 12 regional Banks,
each subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Housing Finance Board.
The FHLB provides a central credit facility for member savings institutions. As
a member of the FHLB, First Indiana is required to own shares of capital stock
in the FHLB. The calculation of the required stock amount is the greater of one
percent of the aggregate unpaid mortgage loan, .3 percent of total assets, or
1/20 of its advances from the FHLB. As of December 31, 1999, First Indiana was
in compliance with this requirement.

    FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

    The Federal Reserve Board has adopted regulations that require savings
institutions to maintain non-earning reserves against their transaction accounts
(primarily NOW and regular checking accounts) and non-personal time deposits
(those which are transferable or held by a person other than a natural person)
with an original maturity of less than one and one-half years. At December 31,
1999, First Indiana was in compliance with these requirements. These reserves
may be used to satisfy liquidity requirements imposed by the Director of the
OTS. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or
non-interest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of this
reserve requirement is to reduce the amount of the institution's
interest-earning assets.

    Savings institutions also have the authority to borrow from the Federal
Reserve discount window. Federal Reserve Board regulations, however, require
savings institutions to exhaust all the FHLB sources before borrowing from a
Federal Reserve Bank. The FDICIA places limitations upon a Federal Reserve
Bank's ability to extend advances to under-capitalized and critically
under-capitalized depository institutions. The FDICIA provides that a Federal
Reserve bank generally may not have advances outstanding to an under-capitalized
institution for more than 60 days in any 120-day period.

    FEDERAL SECURITIES LAW

    The stock of First Indiana is registered with the SEC under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. First Indiana is subject to the information, proxy
solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC
under the Exchange Act.

                                       87
<PAGE>
    First Indiana stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally officers,
directors, and principal stockholders) of First Indiana may not be resold
without registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale
restrictions. If First Indiana meets specified current public information
requirements, each affiliate of First Indiana is able to sell in the public
market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month
period.

    TAXATION

    FEDERAL.  First Indiana, on behalf of itself, First Indiana Bank and its
subsidiaries, files a calendar tax year consolidated federal income tax return
and reports items of income and expense using the accrual method of accounting.

    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), a deferred liability has not been
established for First Indiana Bank's tax bad debt base year reserves of
$16,586,000. The base year reserves are generally the balance of reserves as of
December 31, 1987, reduced proportionally for reductions in First Indiana Bank's
loan portfolio since that date. The base year reserves will continue to be
subject to recapture and First Indiana Bank could be required to recognize a tax
liability if: (i) the bank fails to qualify as a "bank" for federal income tax
purposes; (ii) certain distributions are made with respect to the stock of the
bank; (iii) the bad debt reserves are used for any purpose other than to absorb
bad debt losses; or (iv) there is a change in tax law. The enactment of this
legislation had no material impact on First Indiana's operations or financial
position.

    Under SFAS 109, First Indiana may recognize deferred tax assets for
deductible temporary differences based on an evaluation of the likelihood of
realizing the underlying tax benefits. The realization of these benefits
principally depends upon the following sources of taxable income: (i) taxable
income in the current year or prior years that is available through carryback
(potential recovery of taxes paid for the current year or prior years);
(ii) future taxable income that will result from the reversal of existing
taxable temporary differences (potential offsetting of deferred tax
liabilities); or (iii) future taxable income, exclusive of the reversal of
existing temporary differences, that is generated by future operations.

    In addition, tax-planning strategies may be available to accelerate taxable
income or deductions, change the character of taxable income or deductions, or
switch from tax-exempt to taxable investments so that there would be sufficient
taxable income of the appropriate character and in the appropriate periods to
allow for realization of the tax benefits.

    The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (the "FFIEC") has
adopted all provisions of SFAS 109 for regulatory reporting purposes, including
those provisions related to deferred tax assets. However, the FFIEC agencies
have imposed a limitation on the amount of net deferred tax assets that may be
included in the calculation of regulatory capital. The limitation requires an
institution to deduct from capital, when computing its regulatory capital
ratios, any amount of net deferred tax asset that is not supported by the sum of
the carryback potential of the institution plus the lower of the next twelve
months' estimated earnings or ten percent of Tier 1 capital. At December 31,
1999, First Indiana met all the above requirements and had no adjustments to
regulatory capital.

    The Internal Revenue Service has examined the tax returns of First Indiana
through 1996.

    STATE.  Effective January 1, 1999, the State of Indiana imposes a franchise
tax on the "apportioned income" of depository institutions at a fixed rate of
8.5 percent per year. This franchise tax is imposed in lieu of the gross income
tax, adjusted gross income tax, savings and loan excise tax and supplemental net
income tax otherwise imposed on certain corporate entities and depository
institutions. "Apportioned income" consists of the taxpayer's "adjusted gross
income" multiplied by the depository institution's total receipts attributable
to transacting business in Indiana divided by total receipts attributable to
transacting business everywhere. For example, tax-exempt interest is included in
the

                                       88
<PAGE>
depository institution's adjusted gross income for state franchise tax purposes.
The Indiana Department of Revenue has examined the state income tax returns of
First Indiana through 1994.

    SERVICE CORPORATION SUBSIDIARIES

    OTS regulations permit federal savings institutions to invest in the capital
stock, obligations, or specified types of securities of subsidiaries (referred
to as "service corporations") and to make loans to such subsidiaries and joint
ventures in which such subsidiaries are participants in an aggregate amount not
exceeding 2 percent of an institution's assets, plus an additional one percent
of assets if the amount over 2 percent is used for specified community or
inner-city development purposes. In addition, federal regulations permit
institutions to make specified types of loans to such subsidiaries (other than
special-purpose finance subsidiaries), in which the institution owns more than
10 percent of the stock, in an aggregate amount not exceeding 50 percent of the
institution's regulatory capital if the institution's regulatory capital is in
compliance with applicable regulations. FIRREA requires a savings institution
which acquires a non-savings institution subsidiary, or which elects to conduct
a new activity within a subsidiary, to give the FDIC and the OTS at least
30 days' advance written notice. The FDIC may, after consultation with the OTS,
prohibit specific activities if it determines such activities pose a serious
threat to the SAIF. Moreover, savings institutions must deduct from capital, for
purposes of meeting the leverage limit, tangible capital, and risk-based capital
requirements, their entire investment in and loans to a subsidiary engaged in
activities permissible for a national bank (other than exclusively agency
activities for its customers or mortgage banking subsidiaries).

    ONE INVESTMENT CORPORATION.  One Investment Corporation is a wholly owned
subsidiary formed in January 1999 to engage in the purchase and sale of loan
participations originated both by First Indiana and by others in the secondary
market.

    ONE MORTGAGE CORPORATION.  One Mortgage Corporation is a wholly owned
subsidiary formed in 1983 to originate single-family residential mortgage loans
outside of Indiana for sale to First Indiana or for sale into the secondary
market. Since the third quarter of 1999, when First Indiana Bank exited the
traditional mortgage banking business in favor of originating mortgages for our
relationship customers, One Mortgage Corporation has not engaged in any such
activities.

    ONE PROPERTY CORPORATION.  One Property Corporation is a wholly owned
subsidiary formed in 1985 to engage in commercial real estate investment
activities. To date, One Property Corporation has not engaged in any such
activities.

    PIONEER SERVICE CORPORATION.  Pioneer Service Corporation is a wholly owned
subsidiary of First Indiana Bank. In April 1990, Pioneer Service Corporation
invested in a limited partnership which was formed to develop and own a 112-unit
apartment complex in Greencastle, Indiana.

EMPLOYEES

    At December 31, 1999, First Indiana and its subsidiaries employed 577
persons, including part-time employees. Management considers its relations with
its employees to be excellent. None of these employees is represented by any
collective bargaining group.

    First Indiana and its subsidiaries currently maintain a comprehensive
employee benefit program providing, among other benefits, a qualified pension
plan, a 401(k) plan, medical reimbursement accounts, hospitalization and major
medical insurance, paid sick leave, short-term and long-term disability
insurance, life insurance, an employees' stock purchase plan, tuition
reimbursement, and reduced loan rates for employees who qualify.

    During 1999, the boards of directors of First Indiana and First Indiana Bank

number of meetings held by all First Indiana and First Indiana Bank committees
(considered separately) on which he or she served.

CERTAIN COMMITTEES OF THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS OF THE CORPORATION AND THE BANK

    Among other committees, the board of directors of First Indiana has an Audit
Committee and a Compensation Committee.

    AUDIT COMMITTEE.  The Audit Committee evaluates audit performance, handles
relations with First Indiana's independent auditors, and evaluates policies and
procedures related to internal audit functions and controls. The members of
First Indiana's Audit Committee in 1999 were Phyllis W. Minott (Chairperson),
H.J. Baker, Andrew Jacobs, Jr., and John W. Wynne. The Audit Committee met three
times during 1999. (Mr. Baker attended two meetings of the committee prior to
his retirement from the board of directors, which was effective April 15, 1999.)

    COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.  The Compensation Committee reviews and makes
recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the compensation of
directors, officers, and employees of First Indiana and First Indiana Bank,
administers and grants options and other stock awards under First Indiana's
stock option plans, and administers First Indiana Bank's Employees' Stock
Purchase Plan. The members of the Compensation Committee during 1999 were Gerald
L. Bepko (Chairman), H.J. Baker, Phyllis W. Minott and John W. Wynne. The
Compensation Committee met three times during 1999. (Mr. Baker attended two
meetings of the committee prior to his retirement from the board of directors;
Mr. Wynne joined the committee thereafter and attended one meeting of the
committee during 1999.)

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

    Directors of First Indiana and First Indiana Bank, other than Robert H.
McKinney, Marni McKinney and Owen B. Melton, Jr., received in 1999 a quarterly
retainer of $2,500, plus $1,000 per meeting of the full board of directors and
per committee meeting attended.

    Under the First Indiana 1992 Director Stock Option Plan, First Indiana
reserved approximately 262,497 shares of its common stock for issuance upon the
exercise of options to be granted under the plan. The plan provides for the
issuance of non-qualified options to purchase 3,746 shares to each outside
director of First Indiana on the date of each annual meeting of shareholders.
First Indiana granted 3,746 shares to each outside director on April 15, 1999,
in accordance with the plan. No option is exercisable during the period of one
year following the date of grant, and options granted under the plan must
specify an exercise price of not less than 100% of the market price of the
shares at the date of grant.

    Under the Directors' Deferred Fee Plan, directors of First Indiana may elect
to defer all or any portion of the fees paid for attendance at a board of
directors or committee meeting. The deferred fees are then contributed to a
trust which buys stock with such fees or invests such fees in an interest-
bearing account. Directors are not eligible to receive shares or cash held under
the plan until they cease to be a director, officer, or employee of the
Corporation. Amounts deferred are not taxable to the director until the trust
distributes the cash or stock to the director. In the event of a change in
control of First Indiana, amounts held under the plan are payable immediately in
one lump sum.

    Directors also may elect to contribute part of their fees to First Indiana
Bank's Employees' Stock Purchase Plan. As with other participants, First Indiana
Bank matches a certain portion of such contributions and purchases First
Indiana's common stock on the open market at the prevailing market price. The
material features of the Stock Purchase Plan are described under the heading
"--Executive Compensation."

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

    First Indiana Bank offers its directors, officers, and employees a loan plan
involving variable-rate mortgages, lines of credit, home equity loans, credit
cards, and various installment loans with a lower interest rate (not below the
bank's cost of funds) and waiver of loan origination fees, and fixed-rate
mortgage loans with waiver of loan origination fees only. Except as described
above, all outstanding loans to directors, officers, and employees have been
made in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms as
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated
persons. Management believes that these loans neither involve more than the
normal risk of collectibility nor present other unfavorable features.

    In 1996, First Indiana Bank sold its insurance and non-FDIC-insured
investment sales business to The Somerset Group, Inc. At the same time, the two
companies entered into a multi-year operating agreement under which Somerset
provides insurance and non-FDIC-insured investment products and services to
First Indiana Bank's customers and pays the bank a commission on such sales.
During the year ended December 31, 1999, Somerset paid to the bank $113,350 in
accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement and the operating agreement.
Robert H. McKinney and Marni McKinney are officers, directors and substantial
shareholders of Somerset, and Michael L. Smith is a director of Somerset.

PENSION PLANS

    The following table sets forth, in specified compensation and years of
service classifications, the estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement
at age 65 under First Indiana Bank's non-contributory, qualified defined benefit
pension plan (the "Qualified Plan"), as supplemented by the supplemental benefit
plan adopted by First Indiana Bank on January 17, 1992 (the "Supplemental Plan")
(the Qualified Plan and the Supplemental Plan are collectively referred to as
the "Plans"). While the table shows the annual benefit payable, participants may
elect to receive the present value of the entire benefit in one lump sum.
Amounts shown are based on an assumed Social Security integration base of
$35,100 and are not subject to any deduction for Social Security or other offset
amounts.

    The annual retirement benefit displayed in the Pension Plan Table is the
product of (i) the participant's number of years of credited benefit service,
multiplied by (ii) the sum of 1.5% of that portion of the participant's covered
compensation that does not exceed the Social Security integration base for the
participant plus 2% of the participant's covered compensation that exceeds such
integration base. Compensation covered by the Plans is the sum of the average of
a participant's annualized rate of base salary (as reported in the Salary column
of the Summary Compensation Table) for the five consecutive years of employment
which produce the highest such average, plus the annual average of all bonuses
(including both the Bonus and the LTIP Payouts columns as reported in the
Summary Compensation Table, and the market value on the date of vesting of any
restricted stock awards made pursuant to the Long-Term Plan) paid to the
participant for the three years preceding the participant's retirement.

    As of January 1, 2000, the number of years of credited benefit service and
the compensation covered by the Plans (based on average annual salaries for
1995-1999 and average annual bonuses for 1997-1999) for each of the Named
Executive Officers were as follows: Robert H. McKinney, 47 years--

                                       96
<PAGE>
$424,954; Owen B. Melton, Jr., 21 years--$523,500; David L. Gray,
18 years--$231,219; Merrill E. Matlock, 15 years--$199,306; and David A.
Lindsey, 17 years--$210,013.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

    Special retirement benefits are provided under the Supplemental Plan to
Mr. McKinney. His normal retirement benefit under the Supplemental Plan is
payable for life and 15 years certain. The monthly amount of his normal benefit
is the higher of two calculated amounts. The first is his monthly retirement
benefit that would be payable to him under the Supplemental Plan if such benefit
were determined in the normal way and were payable for life only. The second is
a monthly retirement benefit equal to the excess of (i) 80% of his adjusted
monthly compensation over (ii) the sum of (a) his monthly retirement benefit
under the Qualified Plan (determined as though such benefit were payable in the
form of a straight-life annuity) plus (b) his primary Social Security benefit
payable at age 65. For purposes of the foregoing, Mr. McKinney's adjusted
monthly compensation is one-twelfth of the sum of (i) his highest annual rate of
salary from First Indiana plus (ii) the greater of (a) 37.5% of his highest
annual rate of salary from First Indiana or (b) the annual average of all
bonuses paid to him by First Indiana for the three years next preceding his
retirement. In the last fiscal year, Mr. McKinney received $134,892 in payments
under the Qualified Plan.

    Special death benefits are provided under the Supplemental Plan to
Mr. McKinney and Mr. Melton. The death benefit provided to Mr. McKinney and
Mr. Melton equals three times their respective highest annual rates of salary,
grossed up for income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate in effect at
the time of death, and is payable whether either of them dies before or after
separation from service and without regard to when they separate from service.

    Mr. McKinney and Mr. Melton are parties to agreements with First Indiana,
and Messrs. Lindsey and Matlock are parties to agreements with First Indiana
Bank, which agreements provide for certain benefits if the executive officer's
employment is terminated following a change in control of First Indiana (as
defined in the applicable agreement), other than a termination with cause (as
defined in the applicable agreement) or a termination by the officer without
good reason (as defined in the applicable agreement). In such case,
Messrs. Lindsey and Matlock would be entitled to a severance payment equal to
that portion of their annual base salary (calculated as twelve times the highest
monthly base salary paid to the executive officer during the twelve months prior
to the change in control) not already paid, plus any compensation previously
deferred by the executive officer, accrued vacation pay and a lump-sum pension
supplement, and Mr. McKinney and Mr. Melton would be entitled to a severance
payment equal to three times their annual base salary, plus the additional items
listed above. Certain adjustments may be made to the severance payments made in
connection with the change in control if such payments would be subject to the
excise tax imposed on "excess parachute payments" under Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.


    First Indiana Bank and David L. Gray entered into a severance agreement in
the second quarter of 2000. Pursuant to the agreement, First Indiana Bank will
pay $166,500 to Mr. Gray in 26 equal installments ending May 2001, together with
the cash value of Mr. Gray's earned and unpaid vacation time. The bank also
agreed to continue Mr. Gray's participation in certain retirement and medical
insurance plans for up to one year.

    Somerset earned $3,392,000 in 1999, compared with $2,865,000 in 1998 and
$2,536,000 in 1997. Net income for 1999 included a non-recurring charge against
net income of $115,000, representing the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. Excluding this non-recurring charge, 1999 earnings were
$3,507,000. Earnings for 1999 of $3,392,000 represented an 18.4% increase over
1998 earnings and a 33.8% increase over 1997 earnings. Earnings, excluding the
non-recurring charge of $3,507,000, represented a 22.4% increase over 1998
earnings and a 38.3% increase over 1997 earnings.

    Net income per diluted share for 1999 of $1.18 represented a 22% increase
over the $.97 earned in 1998 and a 37% increase over the $.86 earned in 1997.
Income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle per diluted
share for 1999 of $1.22 represented a 26% increase over the $.97 earned in 1998
and a 42% increase over the $.86 earned in 1997.

    The change in accounting principle was the adoption on January 1, 1999 of
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position
98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities. SOP 98-5
required Somerset to charge to expense costs of start-up activities, including
organization costs, which had been capitalized in prior periods.

    REVENUE AND INCOME.  The increases in earnings were a result of a 30%
increase in revenue and equity income during 1999 that reached $15,303,000,
compared with $11,786,000 in 1998. The $15,303,000 represented a 38% increase
over the $11,125,000 recorded in 1997.

    The three components of revenue and income consist of fees and commissions,
investment income, and equity in earnings of First Indiana Corporation. Fees and
commissions and investment income represent Somerset's direct operations in the
financial services industry. During 1999 operations consisted of three entities:
Somerset Financial Services, Paradym Technologies, Inc., and First Indiana
Investor Services. The other component of revenue and income, equity in earnings
of First Indiana Corporation, represents Somerset's ownership percentage (22% at
December 31, 1999) of the net income of First Indiana Corporation.

    Fee income is generated by Somerset Financial Services and Paradym
Technologies, Inc. ("Paradym"). Somerset Financial Services was formed in 1998
as a result of a merger with Whipple & Company P.C. ("Whipple"), a certified
public accounting firm. Paradym, an information technology company, was formed
in 1999 by combining Somerset's existing information technology resources with
resources acquired from two other companies. Services provided by these two
entities are paid for primarily on an independent consulting fee basis, either
as a flat fee or on an hourly basis. Commission income is primarily generated by
First Indiana Investor Services, which is an independent insurance agency and a
representative for an investment broker/dealer, and it receives its compensation
as a percentage of the insurance or investment products sold. Investment income
is income generated from Somerset's own investment portfolio.

    Somerset completed a merger with McGee, Rice & Wheat, Inc. ("MRW"), a
certified public accounting firm on September 1, 1999. The merger was accounted
for as a purchase, and the operations of MRW were combined with Somerset
Financial Services.

    The results of MRW are included in consolidated financial results commencing
on the date of the merger.

</TABLE>

    Revenue from fees and commissions during 1999 of $10,228,000 represented an
increase of 40% over 1998 revenue of $7,327,000, and a 49% increase over 1997
revenue of $6,848,000. Paradym Technologies, Inc., Somerset's information
technology company formed early in 1999, contributed $1,398,000 of the increase,
or 19% of the total increase. Paradym achieved positive financial results during
its initial year of operation. The level of client services provided was above
expectations partially due to clients' computer preparations for the Year 2000
(referred to as Y2K). Increased fee income for tax consulting and preparation,
health care consulting, and investment and wealth management were the service
specialties primarily responsible for the remainder of the increase in fee
revenue. The increase came as a result of adding new clients throughout the year
and also from an increase in the number of services provided to existing
clients.

    Commission revenue from the sale of insurance and investment products for
1999 increased $172,000, or 18% compared to 1998, and 3% compared to 1997. The
turnaround in revenue occurred primarily from increased sales of mutual funds
and fixed annuity insurance contracts. Increased sales resulted from the
introduction of new products into Somerset's portfolio offerings, concentrated
marketing efforts within the branch banking system of First Indiana Bank, and an
expansion of marketing efforts to existing clients and non-bank related clients.

    Investment income decreased in each of the three years primarily from a
decrease in the average amount of net cash available for investments. During
1999 the investment portfolio was liquidated at a loss of $124,000, which
further reduced investment income for the year. The investment portfolio
consisted primarily of fixed rate bonds, which would have continued to decline
in value as interest rates continued to increase. The funds generated from the
liquidation were primarily used to fund the merger with McGee, Rice &
Wheat, Inc., and for a stock repurchase program.

    EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION.  Somerset's equity in
earnings of First Indiana of $4,986,000 was 20.7% above 1998 and 28.4% above the
amount for 1997. First Indiana posted record earnings in 1999 while sustaining
asset growth. Total assets increased 10.2% and amounted to $2.0 billion compared
to $1.8 billion at December 31, 1998. This growth in assets followed an 11.3%
increase in 1998 over year-end 1997 of $1.8 billion, compared to $1.6 billion at
December 31, 1997.

    First Indiana's return on average equity for 1999 was 13.4%, compared with
12.0% in 1998, and 12.2% in 1997.

    Growth in loans and lower-cost deposits contributed to First Indiana's net
interest margin. The margin was 3.92% for the year ended December 31, 1999,
compared with 3.88% in 1998, and 4.39% in 1997. The average interest rate
spread, the primary factor in computing net interest margin, was 3.28% for 1999,
compared with 3.16% in 1998, and 3.70% in 1997.

    During the third quarter of 1999, First Indiana completed two significant
events that affected earnings. The first was the sale of its Evansville
division, which allowed First Indiana Bank to focus resources in Central
Indiana, the fastest-growing region of the state. The second was that the bank

                                      100
<PAGE>
exited the traditional mortgage banking business in favor of originating
mortgages for relationship customers.

    Loans outstanding grew $155 million, or 10% when compared to the end of
1998, bringing total loans outstanding to $1.7 billion, compared with
$1.5 billion at the end of 1998, and $1.4 billion at year-end 1997. Business
loans grew 32%, consumer loans increased 16%, and residential construction loans
grew 27%.

    Excluding Evansville and jumbo deposits, total deposits grew 12% during 1999
to $1.0 billion, from $904 million at the end of 1998. The growth primarily
occurred in checking accounts and passbook savings accounts.

    Total non-interest income increased 19% in 1999 to $27.0 million, from
$22.7 million in 1998, and $17.0 million in 1997. The sale of deposits of the
Evansville division contributed $7.6 million to non-interest income.

    First Indiana's loan losses as a percentage of outstanding loans decreased
primarily due to reduced consumer and construction loan charge-offs. Net
charge-offs amounted to $6.4 million, $6.5 million, and $7.1 million in 1999,
1998, and 1997, respectively. The allowance for loan losses increased to
$28.8 million at December 31, 1999, or 163% of non-performing loans at year-end.

    For a more detailed discussion of the Results of Operations of First Indiana
Corporation, please refer to the Form 10-K of First Indiana Corporation, filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission under File Number 0-14354.

    OPERATING EXPENSES.  Somerset's operating expenses of $10,162,000 for 1999
represented a 31% increase over the $7,785,000 expended in 1998, and were 35%
above such operating expenses of 1997.

    As a percentage of revenue and income, the $10,162,000 incurred in 1999 was
66% (a 34% margin), one percentage point higher than in 1998, excluding one-time
merger costs incurred in 1998 (a 35% margin), and two percentage points lower
than the 68% ratio (a 32% margin) of 1997.

    Generally, the major reason for the increase in operating expenses was the
continued growth of Somerset as evidenced by the 30% increase in revenue and
income. The 1999 amount included expenses for the first time of the newly formed
information technology subsidiary, Paradym Technologies, Inc., the merged
operations of McGee, Rice & Wheat, Inc., and added staff and other costs to
support the increase in fees and commissions from operations contained in all
three years. The percentage improvements of 1999 and 1998, compared with 1997,
are indicative of operating efficiencies achieved by the 1998 merger with
Whipple & Company, P.C.

    Somerset expects operating expenses, measured as a percentage of revenue and
income, to decrease in future years. The merger with McGee, Rice & Wheat, Inc.,
occurred on September 1, 1999. The four months included in 1999 consolidated
results are historically the lowest four months of revenue generation for a
certified public accounting firm. Therefore, operating expenses include four
months of expenses approximating all other months, without any benefit of the
peak revenue cycle of January through April. In addition, Somerset incurred
higher than normal general and administrative expenses from outside sources in
connection with the investigation and review of possible acquisition candidates,
which is expected to be lower in 2000. Also, additional professional staff was
hired during the fourth quarter to support anticipated demand for Somerset's
services. The full revenue potential of these talented individuals is not
expected to be realized in financial results until 2000 and beyond.


    Somerset is also making significant changes in technology to improve
efficiency in operations and for better and faster delivery of information to
its clients. The major work and output functions of each entity and service
specialty have been reviewed and plans adopted for each area. The many
improvements include better client Internet access to their investment accounts
and greater use of


                                      101

technology for accumulation, review, analysis, and storage of data for tax,
accounting and consulting services.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999



    Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2000, amounted to $2,517,000, or
$.88 per diluted share, compared with $1,885,000, or $.65 per diluted share, for
the same period last year, an increase in per share earnings of 35%. The 1999
earnings included a non-recurring charge against net earnings of $115,000
resulting from the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement at the beginning
of 1999. Excluding this one-time expense, earnings for the first six months of
2000 represented a 26% increase over last year.



    The improvement in earnings for the six-month period was a result of an
increase in revenue during the period. Revenue and equity income for the first
six months of 2000 amounted to over $9.5 million, compared with $7.8 million for
the six months last year, an increase of 23% over 1999.



    For the first six months of the year, revenue from fees and commissions for
financial services increased 25% to approximately $7 million, compared with
$5.6 million last year. Somerset's share of pretax earnings from First Indiana
Corporation increased almost 22% to $2.6 million, compared with $2.1 million in
1999.



    All service specialties recorded increased fees for the first half of the
year except the information technology group, which had tremendous growth in
1999 as a result of Y2K engagements and now has returned to a normal level of
operations.



    The increases in fees for tax consulting and tax return preparation were
instrumental in the overall increase in revenue for services. New individual and
small business clients continued to be added to Somerset's client base. In
addition, revenue for 2000 included the results of McGee, Rice & Wheat, Inc., a
CPA firm that merged with Somerset on September 1, 1999, and aided in the
overall increase in revenues.



    Another major contributor to the overall increase in revenue was commission
earned by Somerset's investment and insurance products division. Commissions
received from these product sales increased 52% for the six months when compared
to last year.



    For the first six months of 2000, Somerset's operating expenses of
$5,825,000 were $975,000, or 20%, above the $4,850,000 expended in the first six
months of 1999.



    The higher operating expenses were primarily due to the inclusion of the
operating expenses of McGee, Rice & Wheat, Inc. in the 2000 amounts that were
not included in the 1999 results. The largest expense of Somerset is personnel
and personnel related costs. The September 1, 1999, merger with McGee, Rice &
Wheat added 16 individuals to our professional and support staff and accounted
for the major portion of the increase in salaries, wages, commission, and
benefit expenses. These personnel related costs increased 21% for the
year-to-date.



    The increase in operating expenses was necessary to support the 25% increase
in fees and commission revenue during the first six months of 2000. As a
provider of professional financial services, an increase in revenue generally
requires an increase in professional personnel to provide those services.



    Somerset's revenue and income from financial services and cash flows
historically have been cyclical as a result of the timing of income tax planning
and preparation services provided by Somerset. Because of government-imposed
filing deadlines, a larger percentage of these services occur during the first
four months of each calendar year.


                                      102
<PAGE>

    According to First Indiana's June 30, 2000, Form 10-Q filed with the SEC,
the increased equity earnings from First Indiana were a result of First Indiana
Bank's sales strategy as a locally-based community bank with an emphasis on
building customer relationships. For the past several years, First Indiana Bank
has concentrated on becoming a relationship-oriented bank with the goal of
earning 100% of its clients' business. This focus has led to growth in deposits,
loans, deposit-related fees, and containment of non-interest expense.



    First Indiana Bank's total deposits rose to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2000,
an increase of 12% over June 30, 1999. Consumer checking balances grew to
$141 million at June 30, 2000, a 16% increase over one year earlier. This growth
in consumer checking balances is significant because these accounts create
opportunities to build long-term relationships consistent with First Indiana's
marketing strategy.



    Growth in deposits supported expansion of First Indiana Bank's loan
portfolio. Total loans outstanding were $1.8 billion at June 30, 2000, compared
with $1.6 billion one year earlier, an increase of 13%. More significantly, the
composition of First Indiana's loan portfolio continued to change. Business
loans outstanding grew 44% to $284 million from $197 million at June 30, 1999.
Consumer loans, which primarily include home equity loans originated through
First Indiana Bank's national loan origination network, grew 21% to
$746 million from $617 million one year ago.



    First Indiana's non-interest expense for the first six months of 2000 was
$24.7 million, a 4% decrease over the same period last year.



    Despite rising interest rates, First Indiana maintained a net interest
margin of 3.91% for the first six months of 2000, compared with 3.87% for the
same period last year.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY


    The financial condition and liquidity of Somerset remained very good at
December 31, 1999 and June 30, 2000. Somerset was also in a very sound position
at the end of 1998.



    Somerset's balance sheet at December 31, 1998 contained a large percentage
of liquid assets that at that time were considered by management in excess of
the working capital needs of Somerset and were intended for future use in
expansion of operations and other uses to increase shareholder value. These
liquid assets were primarily represented by short-term investments of $3,713,000
shown in the current asset section of the 1998 Consolidated Balance Sheet.
During 1999 Somerset utilized a major portion of these excess liquid assets for
acquisitions and other long-term transactions as discussed below.



    At December 31, 1999, Somerset had a ratio of current assets to current
liabilities of 4.2 to one, compared to 14.8 to one at December 31, 1998. On a
pro forma basis, had the short-term investments at December 31, 1998 been used
for non-current purposes, the 1998 pro forma current ratio would have been 6.0
to one.



    Net working capital at December 31, 1999 was $2.8 million, compared to 1998
working capital of $5.8 million. On a pro forma basis (excluding the short-term
investments) the 1998 working capital was $2.1 million, $700,000 less than the
1999 amount.



    The decrease in the current ratio and the amount of net working capital
resulted from the sale of all short-term investments and the use of the cash
primarily for the cash portion of the merger with McGee, Rice & Wheat, Inc., of
$1,046,000; purchase of assets for the formation of Paradym Technologies, Inc.,
of $315,000; and the net repurchase of 87,941 treasury shares of Somerset common
stock (at an average price of $17.50) of $1,539,000. The remainder was used to
purchase hardware and software for technology improvements.



    At June 30, 2000, Somerset had a ratio of current assets to current
liabilities of 5.0 to 1, which was 19% higher than the 4.2 to 1 ratio that
existed at December 31, 1999. Net working capital of


                                      103
<PAGE>

$3.9 million at June 30, 2000, represented an increase of 39% over the
$2.8 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in working capital occurred as a
result of the cyclical increase in revenue discussed above that occurs during
the first four months of a calendar year. Management considers the financial
condition and liquidity of Somerset very good at June 30, 2000.



    Management considers a current ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 adequate to support the
working capital needs of operations.



    Somerset had no debt at June 30, 2000 or December 31, 1999. Shareholders'
equity represented 77% of assets at June 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999.
Shareholders' equity of $38.5 million represented an increase of 6% over the
$36.4 million at December 31, 1999. The book value per share at June 30, 2000,
was $13.70, compared to $12.97 at the end of 1999.



    In addition to the uses of cash discussed above, Somerset paid cash
dividends of $566,000 to its shareholders in 1999, at an annual rate of $.20 per
share, which was $.02 per share higher than 1998 and 1997. Dividends paid during
1999 represented 37% of cash flow from operations, compared to 71% in 1998, and
41% in 1997. A semi-annual cash dividend of $308,000 was paid to its
shareholders during the first quarter of 2000, representing an annual rate of
$.22 per share; a 10% increase over the $.20 per share paid in 1999.



    Operating activities during 1999 provided $1,547,000 of cash, compared to
$734,000 in 1998. The primary causes of the increase were an increase in net
income, deferred income tax expense, accounts payable and accrued expenses,
which were offset by an increase in trade accounts, notes, and other
receivables. Deferred income tax expense increase when compared to 1998, because
1998 included a change of method of reporting taxable income for Whipple from
cash basis accounting to accrual basis accounting, causing a reversal of taxes
previously deferred at December 31, 1997. The increase in accounts payable,
accrued expenses, trade accounts, notes, and other receivables resulted from the
overall increase in revenue and operating levels.



    Operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2000, provided
cash of $1,167,000, compared with cash provided of $1,212,000 during the first
six months of 2000. Total cash and cash equivalents increased $566,000 for the
six-month period. The cyclical nature of operations, as noted above, causes a
rapid increase in receivables during the first four months of the year, which
results in the use of cash to support this increase. During the remainder of the
year, cash from operations improves as the balance of trade accounts receivable
is reduced. During the second quarter of 2000, operating activities provided
cash of $1,487,000, primarily as a result of this cycle.



    Major contributors to the positive cash flow from operations were the
increase in net income and accrued income tax payable. These were offset by an
increase in prepaid expenses, which was a result of costs incurred in connection
with the pending merger of Somerset with First Indiana.



    Somerset transferred cash of $83,000 in connection with the sale of assets
of a subsidiary in exchange for a note receivable and an equity investment in
the purchaser. Somerset expended $137,000 for the purchase of computer hardware
as part of a continuing plan to increase efficiency in its accounting and tax
service specialties. Cash dividends of $309,000 were paid to shareholders for
the first half of 2000, representing an annual rate of $.22 per share, a 10%
increase over the $.20 per share paid in 1999.



    Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") require Somerset to record
income tax expense at full corporate rates on a portion of its equity income
from First Indiana. GAAP also requires Somerset to record its investment in
First Indiana at a net carrying value, which represents its acquisition cost of
First Indiana shares plus its equity share of First Indiana's net income. Under
certain circumstances, the deferred tax liability recorded in this manner
(approximately $10.6 million) may not be paid. The market value of Somerset's
investment in First Indiana at June 30, 2000 was


                                      104
<PAGE>

approximately $55 million, or $14.3 million greater than the investment-carrying
amount reflected in its balance sheet.


    Management anticipates that future purchases of property and equipment will
be funded by available cash and cash provided by operations. An acquisition of
another entity would require the use of debt and/or the issuance of additional
shares of common stock.

    Somerset is a registered savings and loan holding company and is subject to
regulations of permitted activities defined in the National Housing Act and
administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision.

INFORMATION REGARDING OPERATING SEGMENTS

    A description of Somerset's operating segments and financial information
regarding those segments is contained in Note 11 to Somerset's 1999 consolidated
financial statements, which appear elsewhere in this proxy statement and
prospectus.

IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED

    Pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants during 1999 were not expected to be
material to Somerset's consolidated financial statements.


    During March, 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44 "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25." This pronouncement will
become effective July 1, 2000 on a prospective (future) basis. Somerset has
stock option grants outstanding for 49,313 options shares that will be affected
by this pronouncement. The impact on Somerset's financial statements is not
material.


YEAR 2000 READINESS

    Somerset was subject to regulations of two governmental agencies in
connection with review of its state of readiness for the Year 2000. Somerset's
operations of the First Indiana Investor Services division was subject to review
by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC"), and its
Somerset Financial Services division, as a Registered Investment Advisor, was
subject to review by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Both the
FFIEC and the SEC required Somerset to assess Somerset's and its vendors'
ability to be Year 2000 ready by June 30, 1999 for all mission critical systems.
Because Somerset relies on technology for transaction processing, preparing for
the Year 2000 was a critical focus of resources.

    All hardware and software vendors, as well as significant other vendors,
were identified and contacted. Somerset identified potential Year 2000 readiness
issues and developed action plans and contingency plans for each issue. During
1998 and 1999, Somerset tested systems for purposes of validating Year 2000
readiness, upgraded and replaced existing hardware, software, and embedded
systems, and implemented contingency plans in the event a particular vendor
would not assist Somerset in its Year 2000 efforts. A team monitored significant
vendor relationships to ensure that no issues would cause management to doubt
the ability of the vendor to be adequately prepared for the Year 2000 and thus
possibly impact Somerset's ability to conduct business beyond the century
change.

    Somerset uses external data service bureaus for processing and reporting of
some customer data. Proxy testing was conducted on the mission critical aspects
with the service bureaus.

    Somerset completed an upgrade of personal computer hardware during 1998 at a
cost of approximately $140,000 and also completed the installation of
replacement vendor-supplied software at

                                      105
<PAGE>
a cost of approximately $20,000. During 1999 Somerset completed the upgrade of
two additional software systems at a cost of $25,000.


    Throughout the rollover period into Year 2000 and the first seven months of
the new year, there were no significant Year 2000 related systems issues;
however, Somerset will continue to monitor these systems.


INFORMATION ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    The statements in the preceding discussion that are not historical are
forward-looking statements. Although Somerset believes that its expectations are
based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of knowledge of its
business, there can be no assurance that Somerset's financial goals will be
realized. Numerous factors may affect Somerset's actual results and may cause
results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements
made by or on behalf of Somerset.

                        COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

    The rights of First Indiana shareholders are currently governed by the
Indiana Business Corporation Law (the "IBCL") and the articles of incorporation,
as amended, and the bylaws, as amended, of First Indiana (the "First Indiana
Charter" and the "First Indiana Bylaws," respectively). The rights of Somerset
shareholders are currently governed by the IBCL and the amended articles of
incorporation and the amended and restated bylaws of Somerset (the "Somerset
Charter" and "Somerset Bylaws," respectively).

    The following discussions are qualified by reference to the IBCL, the First
Indiana Charter, the First Indiana Bylaws, the Somerset Charter and the Somerset
Bylaws. Copies of the First Indiana Charter, the First Indiana Bylaws, the
Somerset Charter and the Somerset Bylaws are incorporated by reference herein
and will be sent to holders of First Indiana shares and Somerset shares upon
request. See "Where You Can Find More Information."

AUTHORIZED CAPITAL

    First Indiana is currently authorized to issue 35,000,000 shares of capital
stock, of which 33,000,000 are common shares and 2,000,000 are preferred shares.

    The First Indiana Charter authorizes the First Indiana board of directors,
without shareholder approval, to provide for the issuance of First Indiana
preferred shares in one or more series and to fix the designations and the
powers, preferences, conversion and other rights, voting rights, restrictions
and limitations as to dividends, liquidation preference, qualifications and
terms and conditions of redemption as the First Indiana board may determine. To
date, the First Indiana board of directors has only created Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock in connection with the adoption of the shareholder
rights plan discussed below, and no shares of that series are outstanding.

    Somerset is authorized to issue 4,000,000 common shares but is not
authorized to issue any preferred shares.

VOTING

    Each holder of First Indiana common shares is entitled to one vote per share
and to the same and identical voting rights as other holders of First Indiana
common shares. Holders of First Indiana common shares do not have cumulative
voting rights. Except as may otherwise be provided in the First Indiana Charter,
a designation of a series of First Indiana preferred shares or as otherwise
expressly required by law, holders of First Indiana preferred shares do not have
any voting rights.

    Each holder of Somerset common shares is entitled to one vote per share and
to the same and identical voting rights as other holders of Somerset common
shares. Holders of Somerset common shares do not have cumulative voting rights.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    The First Indiana Charter and First Indiana Bylaws currently provide that
the number of directors will be nine. The directors are divided into three
classes and hold office for staggered three year terms.

    The Somerset Bylaws currently provide that the number of directors will be
nine. The Somerset directors are divided into three classes and serve staggered
three year terms pursuant to the Somerset Charter.

REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

    Under the IBCL, directors may be removed in any manner provided in the
articles of incorporation. In addition, directors may be removed by the
shareholders and directors with or without

                                      108
<PAGE>
cause unless the articles of incorporation specify otherwise. Both the First
Indiana Charter and the Somerset Charter provide that a director may be removed
for cause by a two-thirds majority vote of the entire board of directors or by
the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds majority of the shares entitled to
vote at a meeting called expressly for such purpose.

SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS

    The IBCL provides that a special meeting of shareholders may be called by
the board of directors or persons specifically authorized to do so by the
articles of incorporation or bylaws and if no percentage of votes necessary to
demand such a meeting is specified, the demand must be made by the holders of
all of the votes entitled to be cast on the issue.

    Pursuant to both the First Indiana Bylaws and the Somerset Bylaws, a special
meeting of the shareholders may be called at any time by the chairman, the
president, a majority of the board of directors or at the request of the owners
of not less than 25% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.

POWER TO ADOPT, AMEND OR REPEAL BYLAWS

    The IBCL reserves the power to amend or repeal by-laws solely to the
corporation's board of directors unless the articles of incorporation provide
otherwise. Both the First Indiana Charter and the Somerset Charter allow the the
directors to amend or repeal any provision of the bylaws only by a 2/3 vote of
the directors then in office.

AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

    Under the IBCL, certain amendments to the First Indiana Charter or the
Somerset Charter are permitted without shareholder action; however, shareholders
are entitled to vote on a proposed amendment if the amendment would
(1) increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of the class;
(2) effect an exchange or reclassification of all or part of the shares of the
class into shares of another class; (3) effect an exchange or reclassification,
or create the right of exchange, of all or part of the shares of another class
into shares of the class; (4) change the designation, rights, preferences, or
limitations of all or part of the shares of the class; (5) change the shares of
all or part of the class into a different number of shares of the same class;
(6) create a new class of shares having rights or preferences with respect to
distributions or to dissolution that are prior, superior, or substantially equal
to the shares of the class (except for any series of preferred stock created by
the First Indiana board of directors as permitted by the First Indiana Charter);
(7) increase the rights, preferences, or number of authorized shares of any
class that, after giving effect to the amendment, have rights or preferences
with respect to distributions or to dissolution that are prior, superior, or
substantially equal to the shares of the class; (8) limit or deny an existing
preemptive right of all or part of the shares of the class; or (9) cancel or
otherwise affect rights to distributions or dividends that have accumulated but
not yet been declared on all or part of the shares of the class.

    Article IX of First Indiana's Charter and Article VIII of Somerset's Charter
each provide that a two-thirds majority of the board of directors may amend or
repeal certain provisions of the First Indiana Charter or the Somerset Charter,
respectively, if the amendment is approved by a majority vote of the
shareholders. However, specified provisions require a two-thirds majority vote
of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock for amendment or repeal.

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS

    Chapter 43 of the IBCL generally prohibits a "resident domestic corporation"
of Indiana, such as First Indiana or Somerset, from engaging in any "Business
Combination" (as defined below) with any "Interested Shareholder" (defined
generally as any person that, individually or with or through any of

                                      109
<PAGE>
its affiliates or associates, beneficially owns 10% or more of the outstanding
voting securities of a corporation) for a period of five years after the date
the person becomes an Interested Shareholder unless, before such person became
an Interested Shareholder, the board of directors of the corporation approved
either the business combination or the purchase of more than 10% of the
corporation's voting securities by the Interested Shareholder. Chapter 43 also
provides that a resident domestic corporation may not engage in a merger or
other business combination with an Interested Shareholder at any time unless one
of three conditions is satisfied: (1) the board of directors of the corporation
had, before such person became an Interested Shareholder, approved either the
business combination or the purchase of more than 10% of the corporation's
voting securities by the Interested Shareholder; (2) certain "fair price"
criteria are satisfied (including a requirement that the Interested Shareholder
and its affiliates and associates have not purchased any additional shares after
first acquiring 10% of the corporation's voting securities); or (3) five years
have passed since the Interested Shareholder acquired more than 10% of the
corporation's voting securities and the Business Combination is approved by a
majority of the "disinterested" voting securities of the corporation.

    A "Business Combination" is defined in Chapter 43 of the IBCL as (1) any
merger of a resident domestic corporation or any of its subsidiaries with
(A) an Interested Shareholder or (B) any other corporation which is, or after a
merger or consolidation would be, an affiliate or associate of an Interested
Shareholder; (2) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other
disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions) to or with an
Interested Shareholder or any of its affiliates or associates of assets of a
resident domestic corporation or any of its subsidiaries (A) having an aggregate
market value equal to 10% or more of the aggregate market value of all assets,
determined on a consolidated basis, of the resident domestic corporation,
(B) having an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of the aggregate
market value of all the outstanding shares of the resident domestic corporation,
or (C) representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income, determined
on a consolidated basis, of the resident domestic corporation; (3) the issuance
or transfer by a resident domestic corporation or any of its subsidiaries (in
one transaction or a series of transactions) of any shares of the resident
domestic corporation or any of its subsidiaries which has an aggregate market
value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all the outstanding
shares of the resident domestic corporation to an Interested Shareholder or any
of its affiliates or associates, except pursuant to the exercise of warrants or
rights to purchase shares offered, or a dividend or distribution or made pro
rata to all shareholders of the resident domestic corporation; (4) the adoption
of a plan of liquidation or plan of dissolution of a resident domestic
corporation proposed by, or pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or
understanding with, an Interested Shareholder or any of its affiliates or
associates; (5) any reclassification of securities including, without
limitation, any share split, share dividend or other distribution of shares in
respect of 68 shares, or any reverse share split), or recapitalization of a
resident domestic corporation, or any merger or consolidation of a domestic
corporation with any of its subsidiaries, or any other transaction (whether or
not with or into or otherwise involving an Interested Shareholder), proposed by,
or pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, an Interested
Shareholder or any of its affiliates or associates, which has the effect,
directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of the outstanding
shares of any class or series of voting shares or securities convertible into
voting shares of a resident domestic corporation or any of its subsidiaries
which is directly or indirectly owned by the Interested Shareholder or any of
its affiliates or associates (except as a result of immaterial changes due to
fractional share adjustments); or (6) any receipt by an Interested Shareholder
or any of its affiliates or associates, directly or indirectly (except
proportionally as a shareholder of the resident domestic corporation), of any
loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or any tax
credits or tax advantages provided by or through a resident domestic
corporation.

    The First Indiana Charter and the Somerset Charter each contain a business
combination provision similar to the IBCL. However, these provisions define a
"business combination" differently than the IBCL and require a two-thirds
majority vote of shareholders or the board of directors to

                                      110
<PAGE>
approve a business combination. As a result, these provisions may afford
protection to shareholders in certain situations in which Chapter 43 would not
apply.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AGREEMENT

    First Indiana has a rights agreement pursuant to which common shareholders
are granted rights to purchase fractional interests in preferred shares upon the
occurrence of certain triggering events. Each Somerset shareholder entitled to
receive First Indiana common shares pursuant to the merger will also receive
associated rights to purchase fractional interests in First Indiana preferred
shares pursuant to the terms of the First Indiana rights agreement, dated as of
November 14, 1997.

    Under the First Indiana rights agreement, each common shareholder receives a
dividend of one right (a "Right") for each outstanding First Indiana common
share which entitles the holder to purchase 1/100 of a share of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock (a "Unit") of First Indiana at a purchase price of
$85.00 per Unit, subject to adjustment to prevent dilution (the "Purchase
Price"). Generally, each Unit has substantially the same voting rights as one
First Indiana common share. The Rights expire on November 14, 2007 unless
redeemed earlier by First Indiana.

    Generally, the Rights become exercisable if:

    - any person or group other than certain exempt persons becomes the
      beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding common shares of First
      Indiana (such person being an "Acquiring Person" and the date of the
      announcement being the "Shares Acquisition Date"); or

    - a person or group commences a tender offer that would result in a person
      acquiring 15% of the then outstanding common shares, unless the tender
      offer is for all outstanding shares and deemed fair by a majority of the
      Continuing Directors.

    Under certain circumstances, once the Rights are exercisable, each holder of
a Right, except any Acquiring Person, may receive, upon exercise, Units having a
value equal to two times the Purchase Price. Additionally, upon the acquisition
or sale of First Indiana, each holder of a Right may receive, upon exercise,
common stock of the Acquiring Person having a value equal to two times the
exercise price of the Right.

    At any time before the Rights are exercisable, a majority of the First
Indiana board of directors may redeem the Rights at a price of $.01 per Right,
or exchange the Rights for First Indiana common shares at an exchange ratio of
one share of First Indiana common stock per Right (as adjusted for stock splits
and other events pursuant to the Rights Agreement). In certain cases a decision
to redeem the Rights must be approved by a majority of the directors serving on
the First Indiana board or directors immediately prior to the Shares Acquisition
Date or the directors appointed by such directors (the "Continuing Directors")

    The Rights may have certain anti-takeover effects and will cause substantial
dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire First Indiana on terms
not approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors, unless the offer is
conditioned on a number of the Rights being acquired. However, the Rights should
not interfere with any acquisition approved by a majority of the Continuing
Directors because the Rights may be redeemed or amended by First Indiana. Thus,
the Rights are intended to encourage persons that seek to acquire control of
First Indiana to initiate such an acquisition through negotiations with the
board of directors. To the extent any potential acquirors are deterred by the
Rights, the Rights may have the effect of preserving incumbent management in
office.

           NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                AT AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND
                 AT AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000


                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION


    The pro forma information presented is not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations or the combined financial position that would have
resulted had the merger been consummated as of or at the beginning of the period
indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in
future periods or the future financial position of the combined company. It is
anticipated that the merger will be completed in the third quarter of 2000 or
early in the fourth quarter of 2000.


    Under generally accepted accounting principles, the transaction will be
accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, First Indiana will determine fair
values of Somerset's assets and liabilities, and will record as goodwill the
excess of consideration paid, plus costs of the merger, over the fair value of
the net assets acquired. A final determination of required purchase accounting
adjustments, including the allocation of the purchase price to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values has not
yet been made. The goodwill resulting from the merger will be amortized to
expense over a 15 year period. Certain reclassifications have been included in
the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma
condensed combined statements of earnings to conform presentation.

NOTE 2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT CLASSIFICATIONS

    The accounting policies of both companies are in the process of being
reviewed for consistency. As a result of this review, certain conforming
accounting adjustments may be necessary. The nature and extent of these
adjustments have not been determined but are not expected to be significant.

NOTE 3.  PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

(A) Pro forma adjustment to eliminate Somerset's investment in First Indiana
    Corporation (2,758,467 common shares accounted for using the equity method
    of accounting).

(B) Pro forma adjustment to record as goodwill the excess of consideration paid,
    plus costs of the merger and the fair value of Somerset's stock options,
    over the fair value of the net assets acquired (see also (D), (F) and (H)).

(C) Pro forma adjustment to record the unearned compensation component of
    unvested Somerset stock options.

(D) Pro forma adjustment to record estimated merger costs of $1,000,000.

(E) Pro forma adjustment to reflect the assumed borrowings of FHLB advances by
    First Indiana Bank to pay its intercompany receivable to First Indiana,
    which will use the funds to pay the cash portion of the purchase price
    assuming an exchange ratio of 80% stock and 20% cash (see also (O)).


(F) Pro forma adjustment to reflect the fair value of vested and unvested
    Somerset stock options of $1,674,000 at December 31, 1999 and $2,210,000 at
    June 30, 2000.


(G) Pro forma adjustment to record the repurchase of 2,758,467 First Indiana
    common shares held by Somerset at a market price of $17.75 per share.

    June 30, 2000) exchanged for cash at $24.70 per share. The total purchase
    price including merger costs and the fair value of Somerset stock options is

    Loan Bank advances at January 4, 1999 and January 3, 2000 respectively).


(P) Pro forma adjustment to reflect the tax effect of the various adjustments
    above.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
of First Indiana Corporation:

    We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of First
Indiana Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the
related Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Shareholders' Equity, and Cash
Flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First
Indiana Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                   FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


     (INFORMATION AT AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999 IS
                                   UNAUDITED)


(1)  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    First Indiana Corporation ("First Indiana" or the "Corporation") is a
nondiversified, unitary savings and loan holding company. First Indiana Bank and
its subsidiaries (collectively the "Bank"), the principal asset of the
Corporation, is a federally chartered stock savings bank insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation. First Indiana is the largest publicly held bank
based in Indianapolis.

    The Bank is engaged primarily in the business of attracting deposits from
the general public and originating commercial, consumer, and construction loans.
The Bank offers a full range of banking services from 23 banking centers located
throughout Metropolitan Indianapolis, Franklin, Mooresville, Pendleton,
Rushville, and Westfield, Indiana. In the third quarter of 1999, the Bank sold
the deposits and branch facilities of its Evansville banking centers. In
addition, the Bank has construction and consumer loan offices throughout Indiana
and in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, and Oregon.

    The Bank experiences substantial competition in attracting and retaining
deposits and in lending funds. The primary factors in competing for deposits are
the ability to offer attractive rates and the availability of convenient access.
Direct competition for deposits comes from other depository institutions, money
market mutual funds, corporate and government securities, and other non-insured
investments. The primary factors in competing for loans are interest rates, loan
origination fees, and loan product variety. Competition for origination of loans
normally comes from other depository institutions, lending brokers, and
insurance companies.

    The majority of the Bank's assets and liabilities is financial instruments
(investments, loans, deposits, and borrowings). Each of these financial
instruments earns or pays interest for a given term at a negotiated rate of
interest. First Indiana's Asset/Liability Committee manages these financial
instruments for the dual objectives of maximizing net interest income (the
difference between interest income and interest expense) while limiting
interest-rate risk. The Bank manages interest-rate risk by closely matching both
the maturities and interest-rate repricing dates of its assets and liabilities.
Should this matching objective not be achieved, significant, rapid, and
sustained changes in market interest rates will significantly increase or
decrease net interest income. Because of this risk, the Committee continuously
monitors its financial instruments to ensure that these dual objectives are
achieved. The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general
practices within the savings bank industry. The more significant policies are
summarized below.

    (A) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION--The Consolidated Financial
Statements include the accounts of the Corporation and of the Bank. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and
expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those
estimates.

    Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
in the near term relate to the determination of allowances for loan and real
estate owned losses.

    (B) INVESTMENTS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES--The Bank classifies
investments in debt securities as either trading, held to maturity, or available
for sale. Investments and debt securities classified as held to maturity are
stated at cost, as adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion

     (CONTINUED)
of discounts using the level yield method. The Bank has the ability and positive
intent to hold these securities to maturity.

    Investments in debt securities classified as available for sale are stated
at fair value, based on quoted market prices, with unrealized holding gains and
losses excluded from earnings and reported net of related income taxes as a
separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. A decline in the fair
value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity security below cost that is
deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings, resulting in the
establishment of a new cost basis for the security. Investments in debt
securities classified as trading are stated at fair value. Unrealized holding
gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings.

    Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and
losses for securities classified as available for sale are included in earnings
and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the
cost of securities sold.

    (C) LOANS--Loans originated for portfolio are recorded at cost, with any
discount or premium amortized to maturity using the level-yield method. Loans
are placed on non-accrual status when payments of principal or interest become
90 days or more past due or earlier when an analysis of a borrower's
creditworthiness indicates that payments could become past due. Interest income
on such loans is recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where
future collection is probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only
when they are brought current with respect to interest and principal and when,
in the opinion of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible.

    (D) MORTGAGE AND HOME EQUITY LOAN ORIGINATION ACTIVITIES--In general, the
Bank originates fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and selected fixed-rate
home equity loans for sale in the secondary market. Adjustable-rate residential
mortgage and other home equity loans are originated primarily for investment
purposes, with the intention of holding them to maturity. In certain instances,
adjustable-rate mortgage loans originated are identified as held for sale. This
action is taken primarily to effectively manage the total interest-rate risk
levels of the Bank's asset/liability structure.

    Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market
value in the aggregate. The Bank continuously monitors its loan pipeline and
conservatively manages it through limits on market exposure. Currently, the Bank
achieves this objective through the use of forward sales contracts. The Bank
enters into forward sales contracts for future delivery of loans at a specified
yield in order to limit market risk associated with its pipeline of loans held
for sale and commitments to fund loans. Market risk arises from the possible
inability of either party to comply with the contract terms. The total cost of
residential mortgage and home equity loans originated with the intent to sell is
allocated between the loan servicing right and the 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.

    Loan 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.

                   FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(1)  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     (CONTINUED)
Impairment represents the excess of cost of an individual loan servicing rights
stratum over its estimated fair value, and is recognized through a valuation
allowance.

    Fair values for individual strata 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 that 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 December 31, 1999 and 1998, the balance of capitalized loan
servicing rights included in other assets was $8,759,000 and $5,770,000, with a
fair market value of $11,405,000 and $6,865,000. The amounts capitalized in
1999, 1998, and 1997 were $6,040,000, $3,891,000, and $893,000 and the amounts
amortized to loan servicing income were $1,919,000, $1,823,000, and $819,000.

    (E) LOAN FEES--Non-refundable loan fees and certain direct costs are
deferred and the net amount amortized over the contractual life of the related
loan as an adjustment of the yield.

    (F) DISCOUNTS, PREMIUMS, AND PREPAID FEES--Discounts and premiums on the
purchase of loans and prepaid fees are amortized to interest income on a
level-yield basis.

    (G) REAL ESTATE OWNED--Real estate owned ("REO") generally is acquired by
deed in lieu of foreclosure and is carried at the lower of cost or fair market
value.

    (H) LOSS ALLOWANCES--Allowances have been established for possible loan and
REO losses. The provisions for losses charged to operations are based on
management's judgment of current economic conditions and the credit risk of the
loan portfolio and REO. Management believes that these allowances are adequate
for loan losses inherent in the loan and REO portfolios. 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 examination
process, periodically review these allowances and may require the Corporation to
recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgment about information
available to them at the time of their examination.

    A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that all principal and
interest amounts due will not be collected in accordance with the loan's
contractual terms. Impairment is recognized by allocating a portion of the
allowance for loan losses to such a loan to the extent that the recorded
investment of an impaired loan exceeds its value. A loan's value is based on the
loan's underlying collateral or the calculated present value of projected cash
flows discounted at the contractual interest rate. Allocations on impaired loans
are considered in relation to the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses and adjustments are made to the provision for loan losses as deemed
necessary.

    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 the passage of time are considered
in relation to the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

(1)  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     (CONTINUED)
    (I) INCOME TAXES--The Corporation uses the asset and liability method to
account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date. First Indiana files a
consolidated income tax return.


    (J) EARNINGS PER SHARE--Basic earnings per share for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 were computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average shares of common stock outstanding (12,614,938 and 12,643,297 for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999). Diluted earnings per share for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 were computed by dividing net earnings by
the weighted average shares of common stock and common stock that would have
been outstanding assuming the issuance of all dilutive potential common shares
outstanding (12,795,639 and 12,876,487 for the six months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999). Dilution of the per-share calculation relates to stock options. Basic
earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 were
computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares of common stock
outstanding (12,578,145, 12,735,570, and 12,643,615, in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively). Diluted earnings per share for 1999, 1998, and 1997 were computed
by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares of common stock and
common stock that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding (12,839,678, 13,256,972, and
13,050,746 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively). Dilution of the per-share
calculation relates to stock options.


    (K) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT--Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are
provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the various
classes of assets.

    (L) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks,
interest-bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal
funds are sold for one-day periods. All cash and cash equivalents mature within
90 days.

    (M) RECLASSIFICATION--Certain amounts in the 1998 and 1997 Consolidated
Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

    (N) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME--Comprehensive income is the total of net income
and all nonowner changes in shareholders' equity.

    As required by SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities, First Indiana continually reassesses the classification of
securities as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. During the third
quarter of 1998, management changed its positive intent to hold held-to-maturity
investments and mortgage-backed securities. Accordingly, the entire portfolios
of mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $19,274,000 and
investment securities with an

amortized cost of $5,243,000 were transferred from held-to-maturity to
available-for-sale. At the time of the transfer, these mortgage-backed
securities and investment securities had unrecognized gains of $374,000 and
$86,000, respectively, which were recognized as a separate component of
accumulated other comprehensive income.

    The weighted average yield on investment available for sale was
6.52 percent at December 31, 1999 and 6.17 percent at December 31, 1998.

    At December 31, 1999, all of First Indiana's corporate debt securities were
issued by banks and finance companies and were rated investment grade or higher
by Standard & Poors or Moody's Investor Services. The Bank's investment policy
prohibits investment in non-investment grade issues. The asset-backed securities
are collateralized by home equity and student loan receivables.

    In 1999, realized gains (losses) from the sale of investment securities
available for sale were $218,000 and $(1,104,000). In 1998, realized gains
(losses) from the sale of investment securities available for sale were $401,000
and $(6,000). In 1997, realized gains (losses) from the sale of investment
securities available for sale were $234,000 and $(17,000).

    In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," a deferred liability has not been established for
the Bank's tax bad debt base year reserves of $16,586,000. The base year
reserves are generally the balance of reserves as of December 31, 1987, reduced
proportionally for reductions in the Bank's loan portfolio since that date. The
base year reserves will continue to be subject to recapture and the Bank could
be required to recognize a tax liability if: (1) the Bank fails to qualify as a
"bank" for federal income tax purposes; (2) certain distributions are made with
respect to the stock of the Bank; (3) the bad debt reserves are used for any
purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses; or (4) there is a change in tax
law. The enactment of this legislation had no material impact on the
Corporation's operations or financial position.

    Cash paid during the year for income taxes was $14,869,000, $11,187,000, and
$11,360,000 for 1999, 1998, and 1997.

(11)  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

    The Corporation is subject to regulation as a savings and loan holding
company by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). The Bank, as a subsidiary
of a savings and loan holding company, is subject to certain restrictions in its
dealings with the Corporation. The Bank is further subject to the regulatory
requirements applicable to a federal savings bank.

                   FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(11)  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

    Savings institutions are required to have risk-based capital of 8 percent of
risk-weighted assets. Risk-based capital is defined as First Indiana Bank's
common equity, less goodwill and investments in non-mortgage-lending-related
subsidiaries, plus general allowances for loan and REO losses. Risk weighting of
assets is derived from assigning one of five risk-weighted categories to an
institution's assets, based on the degree of credit risk associated with the
asset. The categories range from zero percent for low-risk assets (such as
United States Treasury securities) to 100 percent for high-risk assets (such as
real estate owned). The book value of each asset is then multiplied by the risk
weighting applicable to the asset category. The sum of the products of the
calculation equals total risk-weighted assets. At December 31, 1999, and
June 30, 2000, First Indiana Bank's risk-based capital exceeded the minimum
requirement.



    Savings institutions are also required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio,
under which core (Tier One) capital must equal at least 4 percent of total
assets. The components of core capital consist of common equity plus
non-cumulative preferred stock and minority interests in consolidated
subsidiaries, minus certain intangible assets, including purchased loan
servicing. Savings institutions must also maintain minimum tangible capital of
one and one-half percent of total assets. At December 31, 1999, and June 30,
2000, First Indiana Bank exceeded the minimum tangible and core capital
requirements.



    OTS has adopted additional minimum capital standards that place savings
institutions into one of five categories, from "critically undercapitalized" to
"well-capitalized," depending on levels of three measures of capital. A
well-capitalized institution as defined by the regulations has a total
risk-based capital ratio of at least 10 percent, a Tier One risk-based capital
ratio of at least six percent, and a leverage risk-based capital ratio of at
least five percent. At December 31, 1999, and June 30, 2000, First Indiana Bank
was classified as well-capitalized.



    OTS has further proposed an interest-rate risk component of the proposed
capital regulations. Under this component, an institution with an "above normal"
level of interest-rate risk exposure will be subject to an "add-on" to its
risk-based capital requirement. "Above normal" interest-rate risk is defined as
a reduction in "market value portfolio equity" (as defined) resulting from a 200
basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, if the decline in value
exceeds two percent of the institution's assets. Institutions failing to meet
this test will be required to add to their risk-based capital. Based on its
interest-rate risk at December 31, 1999, and June 30, 2000, First Indiana Bank
does not expect to be required to add to its risk-based capital under the
proposed regulations.



    First Indiana Corporation is not required under OTS regulations to meet
regulatory capital restrictions. The following tables show First Indiana Bank's
strong capital levels and compliance with all capital requirements at June 30,
2000, December 31, 1999 and 1998. First Indiana is classified as
"well-capitalized" under the OTS regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, its highest classification. To be categorized as "well-capitalized,"
First Indiana Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, tier one risk-based
and tier one leverage ratios as set forth in the table. The table reflects
categories of assets includable under OTS regulations. There are no conditions
or events since the date of classification that management believes have changed
First Indiana Bank's category.



    Pursuant to prior OTS regulations, liquidation accounts for the benefit of
eligible account holders were established in amounts equal to the net worths of
the merged or converted entities. At December 31, 1999, the liquidation accounts
relating to all prior transactions aggregated $12,907,000,

(11)  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

which amount satisfies the minimum required of each. First Indiana Bank is not
permitted to pay dividends on its common stock if its shareholders' equity would
be reduced below the aggregate amount then required for the liquidation
accounts.



    First Indiana Corporation is not subject to any regulatory restrictions on
the payment of dividends to its shareholders. However, First Indiana Bank may
not declare or pay a cash dividend on its stock if, as a result, First Indiana
Bank's capital would be reduced below the minimum requirements. First Indiana
Bank is required to give the OTS 30 days' advance notice before declaring a
dividend. Under OTS regulations, First Indiana Bank may, without prior OTS
approval, make capital distributions to First Indiana of up to all of First
Indiana Bank's net earnings over the most recent four-quarter period, less
capital distributions made during such four-quarter period.



    First Indiana has a shareholder rights agreement, whereby each common
shareholder is entitled to one preferred stock right for each share of common
stock owned. The rights "flip in" upon the acquisition of 20 percent of the
First Indiana's outstanding common stock in a takeover attempt, and offer
current shareholders a measure of protection for their investment in First
Indiana.



    First Indiana's stock has split six times since December 31, 1991. In
March 1998, First Indiana paid a six-for-five stock dividend. In March 1997,
First Indiana effected a five-for-four stock split. All per-share amounts have
been adjusted to reflect the stock dividend and split.

    At December 31, 1999 and 1998, First Indiana had the following outstanding
commitments to fund loans:

</TABLE>

    Of the commitments to fund loans at December 31, 1999, nearly all are
commitments to fund variable-rate products. Commitments to sell loans at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 were $3,520,000 and $134,198,000, respectively.

    At December 31, 1999, the Corporation had approximately $36,995,000 in
commitments to repurchase convertible adjustable-rate mortgage loans from
third-party investors. If the borrower under any of these loans elects to
convert the loan to a fixed rate loan, the investor has the option to require
First Indiana to repurchase the loan. If the investor exercises this option,
First Indiana sets a purchase price for the loan which equals its market value,
and immediately sells the loan in the secondary market. Thus, the Bank incurs
minimal interest-rate risk upon repurchase because of the immediate resale.

    First Indiana issues lines of credit to residential builders to purchase
residential lots to build model or speculative homes as well as homes for
committed buyers. At December 31, 1999, First Indiana had outstanding lines of
credit totaling $270,487,000 with $157,862,000 disbursed against those lines.
First Indiana also makes residential construction loans to individual borrowers.
At December 31, 1999, First Indiana had outstanding commitments for these loans
totaling $28,094,000 with $16,861,000 disbursed against those commitments. First
Indiana's collateral policy on these residential construction loans requires a
first mortgage on the underlying real estate and improvements.

    First Indiana issues letters of credit on behalf of its commercial loan
customers in exchange for a fee. At December 31, 1999, outstanding letters of
credit totaled $35.6 million. Letters of credit issued to enhance the bond
rating of economic development bonds totaled $31.4 million. Should these letters
be submitted for payment, First Indiana's collateral policy requires the
assignment of the underlying commercial real estate. The Bank also had
outstanding $2.9 million of standby letters of credit which guarantee payment to
a vendor for goods and services in the event of customer default. To insure the
completion of infrastructure improvements (sewers, streets, sidewalks,
underground utilities etc.), the Bank had outstanding $1.3 million of completion
letters of credit. These letters were issued to municipal authorities and
utility companies on behalf of the Bank's commercial real estate borrowers. The
standby and completion letters of credit are collateralized by all assets of the
borrower. Evaluation of the credit risk associated with these letters of credit
is part of the Bank's commercial loan review procedures.

(12)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
    RENTAL OBLIGATIONS--Obligations under non-cancelable operating leases for
office space at December 31, 1999 require minimum future payments of $1,541,000
in 2000, $1,473,000 in 2001, $1,367,000 in 2002, $1,189,000 in 2003, $984,000 in
2004, and $3,260,000 thereafter. Minimum future payments have not been reduced
by minimum sublease rental income of $232,000 receivable in the future under
non-cancelable subleases. Rental expense on office buildings was $1,736,000,
$1,637,000, and $1,616,000, for 1999, 1998, and 1997.

    OTHER CONTINGENCIES--Other lawsuits and claims are pending in the ordinary
course of business on behalf of and against First Indiana. In the opinion of
management, adequate provision has been made for these items in the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

(13)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

    RETIREMENT PLANS--First Indiana maintains non-qualified retirement plans for
the directors of its Mooresville and Rushville Divisions and supplemental
pension benefit plans covering certain senior officers of the Bank and its
divisions. These supplemental benefit plans provide benefits for some of their
participants that normally would be paid under the Financial Institution
Retirement Fund ("FIRF") or Mooresville pension plans but are precluded from
being paid by limitations under the Internal Revenue Code.

    The unrecognized net transition obligation is being amortized over
15 years. The projected benefit obligations were determined using an assumed
discount rate of 8.00 percent and 6.75 percent at December 31, 1999 and 1998.
The assumed long-term salary increases were 5 percent at December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, compounded annually.

    Net periodic pension expense for the plan consists of the following:

    Additionally, First Indiana is a participant in FIRF. This plan is a
multi-employer plan; separate actuarial valuations are not made with respect to
each participating employer. According to FIRF administrators, the market value
of the fund's assets exceeded the value of vested benefits in the aggregate as
of June 30, 1999, the date of the latest actuarial valuation. Pension expense
was $16,000, $12,000, and $59,000 for 1999, 1998, and 1997.

    The Bank has a voluntary savings plan for eligible employees which qualifies
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Employees can participate
after 12 months' employment by designating a portion of their salary to purchase
appropriate investment options. The Corporation in turn matches the first six
percent of the employee contribution at a rate of $.25 for every $1 in employee
contributions. In 1999, the Corporation matched employee contributions for the
Corporation's common stock at a rate of $.50 for every $1. First Indiana made
matching contributions of $233,000, $172,000, and $129,000 in 1999, 1998, and
1997.

    POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSION--The projected benefit
obligation for post-retirement medical, dental, and life insurance programs for
Board members and certain officers of those institutions relating to merger
agreements of prior acquisitions was $717,000 and $752,000, and the accrued
liability was $1,123,000 and $1,094,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998. Expense
under the programs was $29,000, $38,000, and $35,000 in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively.

    The accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was determined using an
assumed discount rate of 8.00 percent and 6.75 percent at December 31, 1999 and
1998. The assumed long-term salary increase was 5.00 percent for 1999 and 1998.
The assumed health care cost trend rates used were 7 percent for 1998,
6 percent for 1999 and 5.50 percent for 2000 and later years. The trend rate for
years 10 and thereafter was 6 percent per year.

    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION--First Indiana has four stock-based compensation
plans, which are described below. First Indiana applies APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related Interpretations in
accounting for these plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized for its fixed stock option plans. The compensation cost charged
against income for its performance-based plan was $523,000, $777,000, and
$660,000 in 1999, 1998, and 1997. The compensation cost charged against income
for the Employees' Stock Purchase Plan was $377,000, $184,000, and $153,000 in
1999, 1998, and 1997. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair
value at the grant date for awards under those plans consistent with the method
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, First Indiana's net
earnings and earnings per share would have

    FIXED STOCK OPTION PLANS--First Indiana has three fixed stock option plans:
the 1991 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, the 1992 Directors' Stock Option Plan,
and the 1998 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Under the 1991 and 1998 Plans,
First Indiana is authorized to grant options to its employees for up to 562,500
and 630,000 shares of common stock, respectively. Under the 1992 Plan, First
Indiana is authorized to grant options to its outside directors (i.e., directors
who are not employees of the Corporation or any subsidiary) for up to 262,500
shares. Under all plans, the exercise price of each option equals the market
price of the Corporation's stock on the date of grant, the option's maximum term
is ten years, and all options fully vest at the end of one or five years.
Similar plans were effected upon completion of the mergers with the Evansville,
Rushville, and Mooresville divisions, which allow grants for up to approximately
415,000 shares of common stock. In lieu of cash, some optionees elect to fund
their option exercises with stock they currently own. In that event, the
Corporation cancels the stock certificates received from the optionee in the
stock swap transaction.

    The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1999, 1998, and 1997: dividend yield of
3.0 percent for all years; expected volatility of 32 percent for 1999 and
23 percent for 1998 and 1997; weighted average risk-free interest rates of
5.22 percent, 5.66 percent, and 6.89 percent respectively; and expected lives of
seven years for all years.

    In addition to the options outstanding at December 31, 1999, 644,673 shares
of common stock were available for future grants or awards.

    The following table summarizes information about fixed stock options
outstanding at December 31, 1999:

    PERFORMANCE-BASED STOCK PLAN--Under the 1991 Stock Option and Incentive
Plan, First Indiana may award restricted stock to executive officers. On
January 23, 1997, First Indiana awarded 43,500 shares of stock among three
executive officers. On April 15, 1998, First Indiana awarded 6,000 shares of
stock to an executive officer. All of these shares are subject to recall by
First Indiana in the event certain specified performance objectives are not met
by December 31, 1999. First Indiana expensed $523,000, $777,000, and $660,000 in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, in connection with these awards.

    EMPLOYEES' STOCK PURCHASE PLAN--Under the 1987 Employees' Stock Purchase
Plan, all full-time employees and directors are eligible to participate after
six months' employment. Approximately 51 percent of eligible employees
participated in the plan in 1999. Under the terms of the Plan, employees can
choose to have up to 10 percent of their annual base earnings withheld to
purchase the Corporation's common stock. The Corporation in turn matches the
employee contribution at a rate of $1 for every $3 or $4 in employee
contributions, depending on whether the Corporation has met specified
performance objectives for the previous calendar year. In 1999 the matching
contribution was increased to $1 for every $2 in employee contributions. This
action was taken in order to encourage increased participation in the plan. The
contributions are then paid to a trustee, who purchases the Corporation's stock
each month at the then prevailing market price. A one-to-three contribution was
in effect for the 1998 and 1997 plan years. First Indiana's matching
contributions were $377,000, $184,000, and $153,000 for the years ended 1999,
1998, and 1997, respectively.

    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--For cash and equivalents, the carrying amount is
a reasonable estimate of fair value.

    INVESTMENT SECURITIES--For securities, fair values are based on quoted
market prices or dealer quotes.

    MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES--Estimated fair value for mortgage-backed
securities issued by quasi-governmental agencies is based on quoted market
prices. The fair value of mortgage-backed securities issued by
non-quasi-governmental agencies is estimated based on similar securities with
quoted market prices and adjusted for any differences in credit ratings or
maturities.

(16)  ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
    LOANS RECEIVABLE--For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some
residential mortgages, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices
for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan
characteristics. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by
discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans
would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same
remaining maturities. Interest rates on such loans approximate current lending
rates.

    DEPOSITS--The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain
money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The
fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the
rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities, but not
less than the carrying amount.

    BORROWINGS--Rates currently available to the Corporation for debt with
similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of
existing debt.

    COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND LETTERS OF CREDIT--The fair value of
commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the
present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments,
fair value also includes the difference between current levels of interest rates
and the committed rates. The fair value of guaranties and letters of credit is
based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost
to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at
the reporting date.

    LOAN SERVICING RIGHTS--The fair value of residential and consumer loan
servicing rights is determined based on the estimated discounted net cash flows
to be received less the estimated costs of servicing. This estimated fair value
approximates the amount for which the servicing could currently be sold.

    ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE, ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE, AND ADVANCES BY
BORROWERS FOR TAXES AND INSURANCE--The estimated fair value of these financial
instruments approximates their carrying value.

    The Corporation's business units are primarily organized to operate in the
banking industry, and are determined by the products and services offered. The
consumer segment includes the origination, sale, servicing and portfolio
activities of both home equity and installment loans, and the residential
segment encompasses the origination, sale, servicing and portfolio of both
residential first mortgage and Community Reinvestment Act loans. The business
segment originates construction, commercial, and commercial real estate loans,
and provides traditional cash management services to business customers.
Investment portfolio management is included in the treasury segment. The retail
segment includes the Bank's 23-branch network, as well as virtual banking
services, which were introduced in February 1998. FirstTrust, which commenced
operations in the first quarter of 1999, provides trust and advisory services to
the Bank's customers. Revenues in the Corporation's segments are generated from
loans, deposits, investments, servicing fees, loan sales and trust and advisory
services. There are no foreign operations.

    The segment financial information provided below is based on the internal
management reporting software used by the Corporation's Executive Committee to
monitor and manage the financial

performance of the Corporation. The Corporation evaluates segment performance
based on average assets and profit or loss before income taxes and indirect
expenses. Indirect expenses include the Corporation's overhead and support
expenses. The Corporation attempts to match fund each business unit by reviewing
the earning assets and costing liabilities held by each unit and assigning an
appropriate expense or income offset based on the Treasury yield curve. The
Corporation accounts for intersegment revenues, expenses, and transfers based on
estimates of the actual costs to perform the intersegment services.

------------------------------

(1) Segment assets differ from consolidated assets due to reclassification
    adjustments (primarily related to income tax assets) that are not reflected
    in the management reporting system.

(2) The net interest income amounts in the segment results reflect not only the
    actual interest income and expense from segment activities, but also amounts
    for transfer income and expense to match fund each segment. Transfer income
    and expense is assigned to each asset and liability based on the treasury
    yield curve. These match-funding entries are not made to the Corporation's
    actual results.

(3) Represents other income and expense items which are allocated to Corporate
    overhead departments. These amounts are included in the Corporation's
    overall results, but are not part of the management reporting system.

(4) Intersegment income and expenses are received by one segment for performing
    a service for another segment. In the case of residential and consumer
    portfolios, an amount is paid to the origination office which is capitalized
    in the portfolio and amortized over a four-year period. These charges are
    similar to premiums paid for the purchase of loans, and are treated as such
    for management reporting. These entries are eliminated from the
    Corporation's actual results.

------------------------------

(1) Segment assets differ from consolidated assets due to reclassification
    adjustments (primarily related to income tax assets) that are not reflected
    in the management reporting system.

(2) The net interest income amounts in the segment results reflect not only the
    actual interest income and expense from segment activities, but also amounts
    for transfer income and expense to match fund each segment. Transfer income
    and expense is assigned to each asset and liability based on the treasury
    yield curve. These match-funding entries are not made to the Corporation's
    actual results.

(3) Represents other income and expense items which are allocated to Corporate
    overhead departments. These amounts are included in the Corporation's
    overall results, but are not part of the management reporting system.

(4) Intersegment income and expenses are received by one segment for performing
    a service for another segment. In the case of residential and consumer
    portfolios, an amount is paid to the origination office which is capitalized
    in the portfolio and amortized over a four-year period. These charges are
    similar to premiums paid for the purchase of loans, and are treated as such
    for management reporting. These entries are eliminated from the
    Corporation's actual results.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                   FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(18)  SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)

   On April 19, 2000, First Indiana and The Somerset Group, Inc. ("Somerset")
jointly announced the signing of a definitive agreement pursuant to which
Somerset will be merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of First
Indiana. The merger agreement provides that each shareholder of Somerset will
have the option of receiving 1.21 shares of First Indiana common stock (valued
at $21.48, based on First Indiana's April 18, 2000 closing price of $17.75 per
share) or $24.70 in cash, or a combination of each (with cash limited to 35% of
Somerset's shares outstanding at closing), for each share of Somerset stock
owned as of the effective date of the merger. Based on First Indiana's
April 18, 2000 closing price, and assuming that 80% of Somerset's shares are
exchanged for stock and 20% are exchanged for cash, the transaction has an
aggregate value of approximately $63 million. This transaction, which is
expected to close in the third quarter of 2000, will be accounted for using
purchase accounting. The transaction is also subject to approval by First
Indiana and Somerset shareholders, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Somerset Group, Inc.:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Somerset
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of The Somerset
Group, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Somerset
Group, Inc., and subsidiaries at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            THE SOMERSET GROUP, INC.


     (INFORMATION AT AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999 IS
                                   UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


    The Somerset Group, Inc. (The "Company" or "Somerset") is a non-diversified,
unitary savings and loan holding company. Its major asset at December 31, 1999
and June 30, 2000 is an ownership interest of 22% in First Indiana Corporation
("First Indiana"), which owns 100% of First Indiana Bank (the "Bank"). The
Company operates First Indiana Investor Services, which markets insurance and
investment products primarily to Bank customers. A subsidiary of the Company,
Somerset Financial Services L.L.C., provides tax, accounting, health care
consulting, investment and wealth management, information technology consulting,
and management consulting services.



    (a)  BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION:  The consolidated financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 include the
accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiary. The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. In preparing the consolidated financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates. The consolidated financial statements for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 have been prepared with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.


    (b)  FEES AND COMMISSIONS:  Fees and commissions represent revenue from
financial services provided to clients and from the sale of insurance and
investment products.

    (c)  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks, and money market funds
immediately available.

    (d)  SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS:  Investments are valued at fair value on the
statement date. They are available-for-sale and proceeds are available on three
days' notice. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and
are reported net of deferred income taxes as accumulated other comprehensive
income.

    (e)  INVESTMENT IN FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION:  First Indiana Corporation is
a non-diversified unitary savings and loan holding company whose primary
subsidiary is a federally chartered stock savings bank. It operates retail
banking and mortgage and consumer loan offices throughout Indiana and mortgage
and consumer loan offices in seven other states. Somerset's investment in First
Indiana Corporation is stated at cost, adjusted for its share of undistributed
earnings, and includes adjustments under the purchase method of accounting.
Capital changes of First Indiana Corporation are reflected as a separate
component of consolidated retained earnings.

    (f)  OFFICE FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT:  Office furniture and equipment are
stated at historical cost for financial reporting purposes. Depreciation is
determined using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives
of the individual assets. Both straight-line and accelerated methods are used
for income tax purposes.

NOTE 1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         (CONTINUED)
    (g)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:  Somerset maintains a profit-sharing retirement
and savings plan that is qualified under Internal Revenue Service Code
Section 401(k). The Company makes direct contributions to the plan for all
eligible employees annually and also matches employee contributions to the plan.

    (h)  INCOME TAXES:  The Company uses the asset and liability method to
account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax
basis. The principal temporary difference between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax basis that result in deferred taxes is the
investment in First Indiana, accounted for under the equity method of
accounting. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period in which the change became
effective.


    (i)  EARNINGS PER SHARE:  Basic earnings per share for 1999, 1998, and 1997
were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common
stock outstanding (2,822,583, 2,899,933, and 2,902,800 in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
respectively). Diluted earnings per share for 1999, 1998, and 1997 were computed
by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common stock and common
stock that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of all potential
dilutive shares outstanding (2,868,229, 2,961,835, and 2,957,978 in 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively). Dilution of the per share calculations relate to
outstanding stock options. All share and per-share amounts have been adjusted
for five-for-four stock splits that were effective February 26, 1997 and
February 29, 1996.



    Basic earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2000, and 1999
were computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares of common
stock outstanding (2,807,209 and 2,847,387 respectively). Diluted earnings per
share for the six months ended June 30, 2000, and 1999 were computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average shares of common stock and common stock that
would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of all potential dilutive
shares outstanding (2,846,677 and 2,884,775 respectively). Dilution of the per
share calculations relate to outstanding stock options.



    (j)  TREASURY SHARES:  Treasury shares issued were valued at average cost of
all treasury shares at the date of issuance. Treasury share transactions for the
year ended December 31, 1999 and the six months ended June 30, 2000 were as
follows:

NOTE 1.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
         (CONTINUED)
    (k)  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:  Comprehensive income is the total of net income
and all non-owner changes in shareholders' equity.

NOTE 2.  CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

    During 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 98-5 ("SOP 98-5"), Reporting On The Costs of Start-Up
Activities. SOP 98-5 requires that the costs of start-up activities, including
organization costs, be expensed as incurred. It further requires that any such
costs capitalized in prior periods be charged to expense. SOP 98-5 was effective
for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998.
Somerset adopted SOP 98-5 effective January 1, 1999. Concurrent with the
adoption, Somerset charged $189,000 to expense ($115,000 after income taxes)
that is reported as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in
the Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 3.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

WHIPPLE & COMPANY P.C.

    On January 20, 1998, Somerset issued 333,339 shares of its common stock for
all the outstanding common stock of Whipple & Company P.C. ("Whipple"), a
provider of financial and accounting services that include tax planning and
preparation, accounting, health care consulting, information technology,
investment management, and management consulting services. Shares of Whipple
were not publicly traded. This business combination was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests combination and, accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements for periods prior to the combination have been restated to include
the accounts and results of operations of Whipple.

PARADYM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

    On January 4, 1999, a 100% owned subsidiary of Somerset purchased the assets
of two companies and commenced operations as Paradym Technologies, Inc.
("Paradym"). Paradym provides information technology consulting services,
including corporate Internet and networking services. The total cost of the
assets purchased was $315,000.

MCGEE, RICE & WHEAT, INC.

    On September 1, 1999, Somerset completed a merger with McGee, Rice &
Wheat, Inc. ("MRW"), a certified public accounting firm located in Indianapolis,
Indiana. The accounting, tax, and other services offered by MRW were combined
with the Company's financial services division. This business combination was
accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the results of MRW have been included
in the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the merger. Somerset
issued 47,442 shares of its common stock, valued at $1,020,000, and paid
$1,046,000 cash in exchange for all outstanding shares of MRW. The transaction
was valued at $2,066,000, all of which was considered goodwill, and is being
amortized over 20 years. There were no liabilities assumed, and no cash was
acquired in the transaction.


    The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the
combined results of operations of Somerset and MRW as if the merger had occurred
as of the beginning of 1997, after

NOTE 6.  INVESTMENT IN FIRST INDIANA CORPORATION (CONTINUED)
    At December 31, 1999, the actual cost of the Company's shares exceeded its
equity ownership of First Indiana's net assets. In future periods these
aggregate purchase price adjustments will be amortized to expense using the
straight-line method over 3 to 25 years. At December 31, 1999, the unamortized
balance of the purchase price adjustments to be charged against equity in
earnings was $62,000.

    The changes in retained earnings for equity in other capital changes of
First Indiana primarily represents changes in the Company's percentage share of
First Indiana's net worth resulting from changes in the number of First Indiana
shares outstanding or the number of shares owned by the Company. Such capital
changes also represent changes in First Indiana's unrealized gain or loss on
investments and other changes reflected in First Indiana's retained earnings.

    The Company's equity in undistributed earnings (equity in earnings not
received as dividends) and capital changes of First Indiana, included in
consolidated retained earnings at December 31, 1999 and 1998 were $24,735,000
and $21,829,000, respectively.

    First Indiana is not subject to any regulatory restrictions on the payment
of dividends to its stockholders. However, the Office of Thrift Supervision has
promulgated regulations governing dividend payments, stock redemptions, and
other capital distributions, including upstreaming of dividends by a savings
institution to a holding company. Under these regulations, the Bank may make
distributions to First Indiana of up to 100% of the Bank's net earnings over the
most recent four-quarter period, less distributions made during such
four-quarter period. The Bank is required to give the Office of Thrift
Supervision 30 days advance notice before declaring a dividend.

NOTE 7.  OTHER ASSETS

    Note receivable at December 31, 1998, consisted of a balance of $240,000 on
a promissory note in connection with the sale of assets. The note was paid in
full in 1999.

    Goodwill is stated net of accumulated amortization. The amounts represent
cost of assets purchased in excess of their fair value and include consideration
paid for exclusive operating agreements, client lists, and other intangible
assets.

    Revenue and income from financial services is cyclical in nature as a result
of the timing of income tax planning and preparation services performed by the
Company. Because of government imposed filing deadlines, a larger percentage of
these services occur during the first four months of each calendar year. Revenue
and income during the first quarter of each year will be favorably affected, as
compared to the remaining three-quarters of the year.

NOTE 11.  SEGMENT REPORTING

    Somerset's business units are organized to operate in the financial services
industry and as a holding company for its investment in First Indiana. There are
four operating and reporting units organized on the basis of the type and source
of their revenue and income.

THE SOMERSET GROUP MANAGEMENT DIVISION

    This division manages all investment and treasury functions of the Company,
including overseeing its investment in First Indiana. It also sets policy
guidelines for the other operating divisions. Revenue and income is derived from
the Company's investment in First Indiana and from investment and loan
portfolios.

SOMERSET FINANCIAL SERVICES DIVISION

    Services provided to the general public by Somerset Financial Services
include tax planning and preparation, health care consulting, investment and
wealth management, and management consulting services for entrepreneurs, their
businesses, families, and individuals. Revenue and income for services is
primarily on a fee basis; as an hourly fee or a quoted flat fee. No products are
sold and only minimal remuneration is received as an agent for any other
business or organization.

FIRST INDIANA INVESTOR SERVICES DIVISION

    This division markets investment and insurance products primarily within the
branch bank system of First Indiana and to a lesser degree to the general
public. The primary investment products include variable annuities, mutual
funds, and stocks and bonds. The primary insurance products include fixed
annuities, life insurance, and property and casualty insurance. Revenue and
income received is generated solely from commissions received on products sold,
as an agent for insurance companies, or through a contractual arrangement with a
registered investment broker/dealer.

NOTE 12.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

    The Company has two types of stock-based compensation plans: stock options
and stock grants, as described below. The Company has applied Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for such stock options.
Compensation cost for stock grants issued has been charged against income and
includes reimbursement to the grantee of personal income taxes incurred. There
were no stock grants issued or outstanding during 1999. The amounts charged for
the stock grants and taxes were $31,000 and $395,000 in 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

    Had compensation cost for the stock options granted in 1999, 1998, and 1997
been determined based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with the
methods of Federal Accounting Standards

STOCK OPTIONS

    The Company's 1991 and 1998 Stock Incentive Plans provide for granting of
qualified and non-qualified stock options to officers and other key employees at
the quoted market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant.

    The two plans are essentially identical. Qualified options are exercisable
during either a period of two to five years or a period of three to five years
after the date of grant, and expire five years from the date of the grant.

    Non-qualified options are exercisable during a period of six months to ten
years after the date of the grant and expire ten years from the date of the
grant. The 1991 Plan authorized 156,250 shares for granting options, and the
1998 Plan authorized 145,000 shares, with or without stock appreciation rights.

    The Company also maintains a 1991 Director Stock Option Plan, which
authorized 78,125 shares. The plan provides for the granting of stock options to
non-employee directors of the Company. Grants issued are non-qualified stock
options, which do not afford favorable tax treatment to recipients and which
normally result in tax deductions to the Company. Options are granted annually
at the time of

the annual meeting of the shareholders, at the quoted market price on that date.
The plan allows no more than the grant of 15,625 shares annually. Director
options have a term of five years and are exercisable during the second through
fifth years.

    Certain incentive stock option grants, issued February 18, 1998, were
amended on February 19, 1999. The amendments changed the exercise price, the
term of the option, and the exercise dates. The effect of the amendments were to
change the 1998 option grants to correspond exactly with the terms of additional
option grants issued on February 19, 1999. Option grants for 1998 for 51,813
shares, held by 24 officers and key employees, were amended. The original grants
bore an exercise price equal to the market price on February 18, 1998, of $23.63
per share and were amended to the market price on February 17, 1999, of $16.375
per share.

    The following summary reflects changes in the options outstanding during the
three years ended December 31, 1999.

STOCK GRANTS

    The Company's 1991 and 1998 Stock Incentive Plans also provide for the
issuance of stock grants to key individuals for achievement of specific results
over a three-year period. On April 1, 1994, the Company awarded 15,625 shares of
stock to each of two executive officers. These shares were subject to recall by
the Company in the event that certain specific employment and performance
objectives were not met by March 31, 1997. Such objectives were met and the
shares were vested with the two executive officers. The Company does not have
any stock grants outstanding at December 31, 1999.

    Reserved for future stock options and stock grants at December 31, 1999 were
73,948 shares under the Officers and Key Employees' Plans and 12,492 shares
under the Directors' Stock Option Plan.

NOTE 13.  RETIREMENT PLANS

    The Company maintained a retirement plan for all employees during 1998 and
1997. The plan was a SAR-SEP and was qualified for income tax deferral under
Internal Revenue Service Code Section 408(k). Under the plan, employee
contributions and employer matching contributions were deferred for income tax
purposes. All amounts were contributed to trusteed Individual Retirement
Accounts established by the participants.

    The Company made matching SAR-SEP contributions for participants of 100% of
each employee's contributions, to a maximum of 6% of salary. The costs of such
matching contributions were $52,000 and $53,000 during the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    The SAR-SEP was terminated in 1998, following the merger with Whipple, and
all employees became participants in a plan maintained by Whipple for the
benefit of its employees.

NOTE 16.  CYCLICAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED)

    Revenue and income from financial services is cyclical in nature as a result
of the timing of income tax planning and preparation services performed by
Somerset. Because of government imposed filing deadlines, a larger percentage of
these services occur during the first four months of each calendar year. Revenue
and income during the first quarter of each year is favorably affected, as
compared to the remaining three-quarters of the year.

NOTE 18.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)


    On April 19, 2000, Somerset and First Indiana jointly announced the signing
of a definitive agreement pursuant to which Somerset will be merged with and
into a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Indiana. The merger agreement provides
that each shareholder of Somerset will have the option of receiving 1.21 shares
of First Indiana common stock (valued at $21.48, based on First Indiana's
April 18, 2000 closing price of $17.75 per share) or $24.70 in cash, or a
combination of each (with cash limited to 35% of Somerset's shares outstanding
at closing), for each share of Somerset stock owned as of the effective date of
the merger. Based on First Indiana's April 18, 2000 closing price, and assuming
that 80% of Somerset's shares are exchanged for stock and 20% are exchanged for
cash, the transaction has an aggregate value of approximately $63 million. This
transaction, which is expected to close in the third quarter or early in the
fourth quarter of 2000, will be accounted for using purchase accounting. The
transaction is also subject to approval by Somerset and First Indiana
shareholders and the Office of Thrift Supervision.

    2.01  THE MERGER.  At the Effective Time, the business combination
contemplated by this Agreement shall occur and in furtherance thereof:

        (a)  STRUCTURE AND EFFECTS OF THE MERGER.  Somerset shall merge with and
    into Financial Services, and the separate corporate existence of Somerset
    shall thereupon cease. Financial Services shall be the surviving corporation
    in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving
    Corporation") and shall continue to be governed by the laws of the State of
    Indiana, and the separate corporate existence of Financial Services with all
    its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue
    unaffected by the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects specified in the
    IBCL.

        (b)  ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.  The Financial Services Articles as in
    effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be the
    articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation following the Merger,
    until duly amended in accordance with the terms thereof and the IBCL.

        (c)  BY-LAWS.  The Financial Services By-laws as in effect immediately
    prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be the by-laws of the
    Surviving Corporation following the Merger, until duly amended in accordance
    with the terms thereof and the Financial Services Articles.

        (d)  DIRECTORS.  The directors of Financial Services immediately prior
    to the Effective Time shall continue to hold such positions following the
    Merger, and such directors shall hold office

                                      A-5

           Owen B. Melton, Jr.
           Patrick J. Early.

        (e)  OFFICERS.  The officers of Financial Services holding such

</TABLE>

    2.02  RESERVATION OF RIGHT TO REVISE STRUCTURE.  At First Indiana's
election, the Merger may alternatively be structured so that (a) Somerset is
merged with and into First Indiana directly, or any direct or indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of First Indiana other than Financial Services or (b) any
direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of First Indiana is merged with and
into Somerset; provided, however, that no such change shall (x) alter or change
the amount or kind of the Consideration or the treatment of the holders of
Somerset Common Stock or Somerset Stock Options, (y) prevent the parties from
obtaining the opinions of Barnes & Thornburg and Bose McKinney & Evans LLP
referred to in Sections 7.02(d) and 7.03(d), respectively, or (z) materially
impede or delay consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
In the event of such an election, the parties agree to execute an appropriate
amendment to this Agreement in order to reflect such election.

    2.03  EFFECTIVE TIME.  The Merger shall become effective upon the filing, in
the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Indiana, of Articles of
Merger in accordance with IBCL Section 23-1-40-5, or at such later date and time
as may be set forth in such articles, which articles shall be in substantially
the same form as that attached hereto as Exhibit A. Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, the parties shall cause the Merger to become effective (a) on the
date that is the fifth full NASDAQ trading day (the "Closing Date") to occur
after the last of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than conditions
relating solely to the delivery of documents dated the Effective Date) shall
have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or
(b) on such date as the parties may agree in writing.

    2.04  ACCOUNTING TREATMENT.  The acquisition of Somerset by First Indiana,
as effected by the Merger, will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting.

    2.05  TREATMENT OF FIRST INDIANA COMMON STOCK HELD BY SOMERSET.  Each share
of First Indiana Common Stock issued, outstanding and held by Somerset
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled as of the Effective
Time and certificates representing such shares shall be delivered by Somerset to
First Indiana. Immediately following the Effective Time, all such shares shall
be treated as authorized but unissued shares of First Indiana.

                                  ARTICLE III
                                 CONSIDERATION

    3.01  CONSIDERATION.

        (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the
    Effective Time:

           (1) Each share of Somerset Common Stock issued and outstanding
       immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held as
       treasury stock of Somerset and shares held directly or indirectly by
       First Indiana, except shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in
       satisfaction of a debt previously contracted, if any) shall become and be
       converted into the right to receive, subject to adjustment as set forth
       in Section 3.05:

               (A) 1.21 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of First Indiana Common
           Stock (the "Per Share Stock Consideration"), or

               (B) $24.70, in cash (such sum, the "Per Share Cash Consideration"
           and together with the Per Share Stock Consideration, the
           "Consideration"); and

       provided, that the aggregate number of shares of First Indiana Common
       Stock that shall be issued in the Merger shall be not less than the
       product of (a) sixty-five percent (65%), of (b) the Exchange Ratio, times
       (c) the number of shares of Somerset Common Stock outstanding as of the
       Effective Time (the "Stock Number").

           (2) Each share of Somerset Common Stock that, immediately prior to
       the Effective Time, is held as treasury stock of Somerset or held
       directly or indirectly by First Indiana, other than shares held in a
       fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted,
       shall by virtue of the Merger be canceled and retired and shall cease to
       exist, and no exchange or payment shall be made therefor.

        (b) Subject to the allocation procedures set forth in Section 3.01(c),
    each record holder of Somerset Common Stock will be entitled (1) to elect to
    receive First Indiana Common Stock for all or some of the shares of Somerset
    Common Stock ("Stock Election Shares") held by such record holder, (2) to
    elect to receive cash for all or some of the shares of Somerset Common Stock
    ("Cash Election Shares") held by such record holder or (3) to indicate that
    such holder makes no such election for all or some of the shares of Somerset
    Common Stock ("No-Election Shares") held by such record holder. All such
    elections (each, an "Election") shall be made on a form designed for that
    purpose by First Indiana and reasonably acceptable to Somerset (an "Election
    Form"). Any shares of Somerset Common Stock with respect to which the record
    holder thereof shall not, as of the Election Deadline (as defined below),
    have properly submitted to the Exchange Agent (as defined below) a properly
    completed Election Form shall be deemed to be No-Election Shares. A record
    holder acting in different capacities or acting on behalf of other persons
    in any way shall be entitled to submit an Election Form for each capacity in
    which such record holder so acts with respect to each person for which it so
    acts.

        (c) Not later than the 15th day after the Election Deadline, First
    Indiana shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the
    holders of Somerset Common Stock of rights to receive the Per Share Stock
    Consideration or the Per Share Cash Consideration in the Merger as follows:

           (1) Number of Stock Elections Less Than Stock Number. If the number
       of Stock Election Shares (on the basis of Election Forms received as of
       the Election Deadline) is less than the Stock Number, then

               (A) all Stock Election Shares shall be, as of the Effective Time,
           converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock
           Consideration,

                                      A-7
<PAGE>
               (B) the Exchange Agent shall allocate pro rata from among the
           No-Election Shares a sufficient number of No-Election Shares such
           that the sum of such number and the number of Stock Election Shares
           shall equal as closely as practicable the Stock Number, and all such
           selected shares ("Stock-Selected No-Election Shares") shall be, as of
           the Effective Time, converted into the right to receive the Per Share
           Stock Consideration, provided that if the sum of all No-Election
           Shares and Stock Election Shares is less than the Stock Number, all
           No-Election Shares shall be Stock-Selected No-Election Shares,

               (C) if the sum of Stock Election Shares and No-Election Shares is
           less than the Stock Number, the Exchange Agent shall allocate pro
           rata from among the Cash Election Shares a sufficient number of Cash
           Election Shares such that the sum of such number, plus the number of
           Stock Election Shares and the number of Stock-Selected No-Election
           Shares, shall equal as closely as practicable the Stock Number, and
           all such selected shares ("Converted Cash Election Shares") shall be,
           as of the Effective Time, converted into the right to receive the Per
           Share Stock Consideration, and

               (D) the No-Election Shares and Cash Election Shares that are not
           Stock-Selected No-Election Shares or Converted Cash Election Shares
           (as the case may be) shall be, as of the Effective Time, converted
           into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration; or

           (2) Number of Stock Elections Greater Than or Equal to Stock Number.
       If the number of Stock Election Shares (on the basis of Election Forms
       received by the Election Deadline) is greater than or equal to the Stock
       Number, then

               (A) all Cash Election Shares and No-Election Shares shall be, as
           of the Effective Time, converted into the right to receive the Per
           Share Cash Consideration, and

               (B) The Stock Election Shares shall be, as of the Effective Time,
           converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock
           Consideration.

    3.02  RIGHTS AS SHAREHOLDERS; STOCK TRANSFERS.  At the Effective Time,
(a) holders of Somerset Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights
as, shareholders of Somerset, other than the right to receive (1) any dividend
or other distribution with respect to such Somerset Common Stock with a record
date occurring prior to the Effective Time and (2) the consideration provided
under this Article III, and (b) holders of Somerset Stock Options shall have no
further or continuing right to receive Somerset Common Stock, First Indiana
Common Stock or any form of consideration other than the consideration provided
under this Article III. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on
the stock transfer books of Somerset or the Surviving Corporation of shares of
Somerset Common Stock, and no attempted or purported exercise of Somerset Stock
Options shall be effective.

    3.03  FRACTIONAL SHARES.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, no fractional shares of First Indiana Common Stock and no
certificates or scrip therefor, or other evidence of ownership thereof, will be
issued in the Merger; instead, First Indiana shall pay to each holder of
Somerset Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share of
First Indiana Common Stock an amount in cash (without interest) determined by
multiplying such fraction by the Per Share Cash Consideration.

    3.04  EXCHANGE PROCEDURES.

        (a) Not later than the 20th business day prior to the anticipated
    Effective Date or such other date as the parties may agree in writing (the
    "Mailing Date"), First Indiana shall mail an Election Form and a letter of
    transmittal to each holder of record of Somerset Common Stock. To be
    effective, an Election Form must be properly completed, signed and actually
    received by the Exchange Agent not later than 5:00 p.m., Chicago time, on
    the 20thcalendar day after the Mailing Date (the "Election Deadline") or
    such other time and date as the parties may agree in writing, and in order
    to be deemed properly completed the Election Form must be accompanied by one
    or

                                      A-8
<PAGE>
    more certificates (the "Old Certificates") (or indemnity satisfactory to the
    Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent, if any of such certificates
    are lost, stolen or destroyed) representing all shares of Somerset Common
    Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal
    materials included in or required by the Election Form. First Indiana shall
    have reasonable discretion, which it may delegate in whole or in part to the
    Exchange Agent, to determine whether Election Forms (and the accompanying
    certificates and material) have been properly completed, signed and timely
    submitted or to disregard defects in Election Forms; such decisions of First
    Indiana (or of the Exchange Agent) shall be conclusive and binding. Neither
    First Indiana nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify
    any person of any defect in an Election Form submitted to the Exchange
    Agent. The Exchange Agent and First Indiana shall also make all computations
    contemplated by Section 3.01 hereof, and, after consultation with Somerset,
    all such computations shall be conclusive and binding on the former holders
    of Somerset Common Stock absent manifest error. Shares of Somerset Common
    Stock covered by an Election Form which is not effective shall be treated as
    if no Election had been made with respect to such shares of Somerset Common
    Stock. Once an Election is made it may be amended at any time prior to the
    Election Deadline, but thereafter it may not be amended or revoked.

        (b) At or prior to the Effective Time, First Indiana shall deposit, or
    shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, certificates
    representing the shares of First Indiana Common Stock ("New Certificates")
    and an estimated amount of cash (such cash and New Certificates, together
    with any dividends or distributions with a record date occurring after the
    Effective Date with respect thereto (without any interest on any such cash,
    dividends or distributions), being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange
    Fund") to be issued as consideration.

        (c) The Surviving Corporation shall cause the New Certificates into
    which shares of a shareholder's Somerset Common Stock are converted on the
    Effective Date and/or any check in respect of any Per Share Cash
    Consideration, fractional share interests or dividends or distributions
    which such person shall be entitled to receive to be delivered to such
    shareholder upon delivery (if not previously delivered) to the Exchange
    Agent of certificates representing such shares of Somerset Common Stock
    ("Old Certificates") (or indemnity satisfactory to the Surviving Corporation
    and the Exchange Agent, if any of such certificates are lost, stolen or
    destroyed) owned by such shareholder; provided that New Certificates and/or
    any such check shall not be issued to any Somerset Affiliate unless and
    until such Somerset Affiliate has delivered an agreement pursuant to
    Section 6.07. No interest will be paid on any Consideration that any such
    person shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III upon such
    delivery.

        (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any
    party hereto shall be liable to any former holder of Somerset Common Stock
    for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to
    applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

        (e) No dividends or other distributions on First Indiana Common Stock
    with a record date occurring after the Effective Time shall be paid to the
    holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate representing shares of Somerset
    Common Stock converted in the Merger into the right to receive shares of
    such First Indiana Common Stock until the holder thereof shall be entitled
    to receive New Certificates in exchange therefor in accordance with this
    Article III. After becoming so entitled in accordance with this
    Article III, the record holder thereof also shall be entitled to receive any
    such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which
    theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of First Indiana
    Common Stock such holder had the right to receive upon surrender of the Old
    Certificate.

        (f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the
    shareholders of Somerset for six months after the Effective Time shall be
    returned to First Indiana. Any shareholders of Somerset who have not
    theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter

                                      A-9
<PAGE>
    look only to First Indiana for payment of Per Share Stock Consideration, Per
    Share Cash Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares and unpaid
    dividends and distributions on First Indiana Common Stock deliverable in
    respect of each share of Somerset Common Stock such shareholder holds as
    determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest
    thereon.

    3.05  ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.  Should First Indiana change (or establish
a record date for changing) the number of shares of First Indiana Common Stock
issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Date by way of a stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to the
outstanding First Indiana Common Stock, and the record date therefor shall be
prior to the Effective Date, the Exchange Ratio and the Per Share Cash
Consideration shall be proportionately adjusted.

    3.06  STOCK OPTIONS.  At the Effective Time, each Somerset Stock Option
shall be converted into an option (a "Replacement Option") to acquire, on the
same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Somerset Stock Option, a
specified number of shares of First Indiana Common Stock, at a specified
exercise price per share. In respect of each option or set of identical options
outstanding to the same holder, such number shall be determined by multiplying
the number of shares of Somerset Common Stock subject to such Somerset Stock
Option or set of identical Somerset Stock Options by the Exchange Ratio and
rounding such product to the nearest whole number, and such exercise price per
share shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price under such
Somerset Stock Option or set of identical Somerset Stock Options by the Exchange
Ratio and rounding such quotient to the nearest whole cent. For example, a
Somerset Stock Option to purchase 200 shares of Somerset Common Stock at an
exercise price of $14.52 per share would be converted into an option to purchase
242 shares of First Indiana Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.00 per
share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Somerset Stock Option which is
intended to be an "incentive stock option" (as defined in Section 422 of the
Code) shall be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of Section 424 of
the Code. Accordingly, with respect to "incentive stock options," fractional
shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares and where
necessary the per share exercise price will be rounded up to the nearest cent.
At the Effective Time, First Indiana shall assume the Somerset Stock Plans;
provided, however, that such assumption shall be only in respect of the
Replacement Options and that First Indiana shall have no obligation with respect
to any awards under the Somerset Stock Plans other than the Replacement Options
and shall have no obligation to make any additional grants or awards under such
assumed Somerset Stock Plans. At all times after the Effective Time, First
Indiana shall reserve for issuance such number of shares of First Indiana Common
Stock as are needed to permit the Replacement Options to be exercised in the
manner contemplated by this Agreement and the instruments pursuant to which such
options were granted. First Indiana shall file with the SEC a registration
statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to the
shares of First Indiana Common Stock subject to the Replacement Options and
shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the current status of the
prospectus contained therein, as well as comply with any applicable state
securities or "blue sky" laws, for so long as such options remain outstanding.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                           ACTIONS PENDING THE MERGER

    4.01  FORBEARANCES OF SOMERSET.  From the date hereof until the earlier of
the termination of this Agreement or the Effective Time, except as expressly

written consent of First Indiana, Somerset will not, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries not to:

        (a)  ORDINARY COURSE.  Conduct the business of Somerset and its
    Subsidiaries other than in the ordinary and usual course or, to the extent

<PAGE>
    to preserve intact their business organizations and assets and maintain
    their rights, franchises and existing relations with customers, suppliers,
    employees and business associates.

        (b)  CAPITAL STOCK.  Other than pursuant to Rights Previously Disclosed

    become outstanding, or authorize the creation of, any additional shares of
    Somerset Common Stock or any Rights with respect to Somerset Common Stock,
    (2) permit any additional shares of Somerset Common Stock to become subject
    to new grants of employee or director stock options, other Rights or similar
    stock-based employee rights, (3) repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire,
    directly or indirectly, any shares of Somerset Common Stock, (4) effect any
    recapitalization, reclassification, stock split or like change in
    capitalization, or (5) enter into, or take any action to cause any holders
    of Somerset Common Stock to enter into, any agreement, understanding or
    commitment relating to the right of holders of Somerset Common Stock to vote
    any shares of Somerset Common Stock, or cooperate in any formation of any
    voting trust relating to such shares.

        (c)  DIVIDENDS, ETC.  Make, declare, pay or set aside for payment any
    dividend, other than (1) regular semi-annual cash dividends on Somerset
    Common Stock paid with record and payment dates consistent with past
    practice in an amount not to exceed $.11 per share or in the case of such
    dividends declared after August 31, 2000, $.17 per share and (2) dividends
    from wholly owned Subsidiaries to Somerset or another wholly owned
    Subsidiary of Somerset, as applicable (in each case consistent with past
    practice), on or in respect of, any shares of its capital stock, or declare
    or make any other distribution on any shares of its capital stock, or split,
    combine, redeem, reclassify, purchase or otherwise acquire, any shares of
    its capital stock.

        (d)  COMPENSATION; EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS; ETC.  Enter into, amend,
    modify, renew or terminate any employment, consulting, severance or similar
    Contracts with any directors, officers, or employees of, or independent
    contractors with respect to, Somerset or its Subsidiaries, or grant any
    salary, wage or other increase or increase any employee benefit (including
    incentive or bonus payments), except (1) for normal general increases in
    salary to individual, non-officer employees in the ordinary course of
    business consistent with past practice, (2) for other changes that are
    required by applicable law or this Agreement, or (3) to satisfy Previously
    Disclosed Contracts existing on the date hereof.

        (e)  BENEFIT PLANS.  Enter into, establish, adopt, amend, modify or
    terminate any pension, retirement, stock option, stock purchase, savings,
    profit sharing, employee stock ownership, deferred compensation, consulting,
    bonus, group insurance or other employee or director benefit, incentive or
    welfare Contract, plan or arrangement, or any trust agreement (or similar
    arrangement) related thereto, or make any new or increase any outstanding
    grants or awards under any such Contract, plan or arrangement, in respect of
    any current or former directors, officers, or employees of, or independent
    contractors with respect to, Somerset or its Subsidiaries (or any dependent
    or beneficiary of any of the foregoing persons), including taking any action
    that accelerates the vesting or exercisability of or the payment or
    distribution with respect to, stock options, restricted stock or other
    compensation or benefits payable thereunder, except, in each such case, as
    may be required by applicable law or this Agreement, and except, as to any
    or all such outstanding stock options, an amendment made prior to July 1,
    2000, which, subject to such definitions and additional conditions and
    limitations as Somerset may deem appropriate, and subject to First Indiana's
    approval of the form and substance of the amendment (which approval shall
    not be withheld unreasonably), makes the option exercisable immediately, and
    for a period of up to six months after termination of the optionee's
    continuous service (but in no event after the expiration of the original
    life of the option), in the event, at or within 120 days after the Effective
    Time, the optionee's continuous service as a director or employee, including
    service with First Indiana and its Subsidiaries after the Merger,
    (i) terminates automatically by reason of the Merger or (ii) is terminated
    by the employer (including any direct or indirect successor employer),

                                      A-11
<PAGE>
    provided, in a situation to which clause (ii) applies, the employer
    characterizes such termination as having resulted from the Merger.

        (f)  DISPOSITIONS.  Except as Previously Disclosed, sell, transfer,
    mortgage, lease, encumber or otherwise dispose of or discontinue any
    material portion of its assets, business or properties or sell, transfer,

    cash management purposes, (3) pursuant to BONA FIDE hedging transactions, or

       applied during the periods involved, except in each case as may be noted

       knowledge, any other party thereto, is in default under any such Contract

       giving of notice or both, would constitute such a default.

        (k)  PROPERTIES.  Except as disclosed in the financial statements filed
    in Somerset's SEC Documents on or before the date hereof, Somerset and its
    Subsidiaries have good and marketable title, free and clear of all Liens

    Somerset or its Subsidiaries) to all of the material properties and assets,
    tangible or intangible, reflected in such financial statements as being
    owned by Somerset and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof. All
    buildings and all fixtures, equipment, and other property and assets which
    are material to its business and are held under leases or subleases by any
    of Somerset and its Subsidiaries are held under valid leases or subleases
    enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (except as
    enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
    reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights
    generally and to general equity principles).

        (l)  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.

           (1) Somerset's Disclosure Schedule contains a complete list of all
       bonus, vacation, deferred compensation, commission-based compensation,
       pension, retirement, profit-sharing, thrift, savings, employee stock
       ownership, stock bonus, stock purchase, restricted stock, stock
       appreciation and stock option plans, all employment or severance
       contracts, all medical, dental, disability, severance, health and life
       insurance plans, all other employee benefit and fringe benefit plans,
       contracts or arrangements and any "change of control" or similar
       provisions in any plan, contract or arrangement maintained or contributed
       to by Somerset or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of current or
       former officers, employees or directors or the beneficiaries or
       dependents of any of the foregoing (collectively, Somerset's
       "Compensation Plans").

           (2) With respect to each Compensation Plan, if applicable, Somerset
       has provided or made available to First Indiana, true and complete copies
       of existing: (A) Compensation Plan documents and amendments thereto;
       (B) trust instruments and insurance contracts; (C) the most recent
       Form 5500 filed with the IRS; (D) the most recent actuarial report and
       financial statement; (E) the most recent summary plan description;
       (F) forms filed with the PBGC (other than for premium payments); (G) the
       most recent determination letter issued by the

                                      A-17
<PAGE>
       IRS; and (H) any Form 5310 or Form 5330 filed with the IRS. Each
       Form 5500, actuarial report and financial statement referred to in the
       preceding sentence accurately reflects the contributions, liabilities and
       funding levels of the applicable Compensation Plan.

           (3) Each of the Compensation Plans has been administered and operated
       in all material respects in accordance with the terms thereof and with
       applicable law, including ERISA, the Code and the Securities Act. Neither
       Somerset, any of its Subsidiaries nor any other person for whom
       indemnification by Somerset or any of its Subsidiaries could apply
       ("Indemnified Person") has incurred or is likely to incur fiduciary
       liability under Part 4 of Title I of ERISA with respect to any
       Compensation Plan. Each of the Compensation Plans which is an "employee
       pension benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA
       ("Pension Plan") and which is intended to be qualified under
       Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter
       from the IRS with respect to "TRA" (as defined in Section 1 of IRS
       Revenue Procedure 93-39), and, except as Previously Disclosed, Somerset
       is not aware of any circumstances that would likely result in the
       revocation or denial of any such favorable determination letter. None of
       Somerset, any of its Subsidiaries or an Indemnified Person has engaged in
       any transaction or taken any action with respect to any Compensation Plan
       that has subjected, or could, to Somerset's knowledge, subject Somerset
       or any of its Subsidiaries or any Indemnified Person to a tax or penalty
       imposed by either Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA. There
       is no pending or, to Somerset's knowledge, threatened litigation or
       governmental audit, examination or investigation relating to Somerset's
       Compensation Plans.

           (4) No liability under Title IV of ERISA (other than premiums to the
       PBGC) has been or is reasonably expected to be incurred by Somerset or
       any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any "single-employer plan"
       (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA) or Multiemployer
       Plan currently or formerly maintained or contributed to by any of them,
       or the single-employer plan or Multiemployer Plan of any entity (an
       "ERISA Affiliate") which is considered one employer with Somerset under
       Section 4001(a)(14) of ERISA or Section 414(b) or (c) of the Code (an
       "ERISA Affiliate Plan"). No notice of a "reportable event," within the
       meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA for which the 30-day reporting
       requirement has not been waived, has been required to be filed for any
       Pension Plan or any ERISA Affiliate within the 12-month period ending on
       the date hereof. The PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any
       Pension Plan or ERISA Affiliate Plan and, to Somerset's knowledge, no
       condition exists that presents a material risk that such proceedings will
       be instituted. To the knowledge of Somerset, there is no pending
       investigation or enforcement action by the PBGC, the DOL or IRS or any
       other governmental agency with respect to any Compensation Plan.

           (5) All contributions, premiums and payments required to have been
       made under the terms of any of the Compensation Plans or applicable law
       have been timely made or reflected in Somerset's SEC Documents and made
       in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Neither any
       of the Pension Plans nor ERISA Affiliate Plans has an "accumulated
       funding deficiency" (whether or not waived) within the meaning of
       Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA. None of Somerset, any of
       its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has provided, or is required to
       provide, security to, nor are there any circumstances requiring, or which
       can reasonably be expected to result in, the imposition of any lien on
       the assets of Somerset or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to, any
       Pension Plan or any ERISA Affiliate Plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(29)
       or Section 412(n) of the Code or pursuant to ERISA.

           (6) To Somerset's knowledge, under each Pension Plan, as of the last
       day of the most recent plan year ended prior to the date hereof, the
       actuarially determined present value of all "benefit liabilities"
       attributable to the participant therein of Somerset and its Subsidiaries
       did

                                      A-18
<PAGE>
       not exceed the then current value of the assets of such plan attributable
       to the participation therein of Somerset and its Subsidiaries. For this
       purpose, "benefit liabilities" shall be determined in accordance with
       Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA on the basis of the actuarial assumptions
       contained in the Plan's most recent actuarial valuation.

           (7) Except as set forth in Somerset's Disclosure Schedule or as
       required by COBRA, no Compensation Plan provides benefits, including
       death or medical benefits, with respect to any employees or former
       employees of Somerset or any of its Subsidiaries (or their spouses,
       beneficiaries, or dependents) beyond the retirement or other termination
       of service of any such employee. There has been no communication to
       employees, former employees or their spouses, beneficiaries or dependents
       by Somerset or any of its Subsidiaries that promised or guaranteed such
       employees retiree health or life insurance or other retiree death
       benefits on a permanent basis or promised or guaranteed that any such
       benefits could not be modified, eliminated or terminated.

           (8) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
       consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby including, without
       limitation, as a result of any termination of employment prior to, at or
       following the Effective Time, will (A) result in any increase in
       compensation or any payment (including, without limitation, severance,
       golden parachute or otherwise) becoming due to any current or former
       director, officer or employee of Somerset or any of its Subsidiaries
       under any Compensation Plan or otherwise from Somerset or any of its
       Subsidiaries, (B) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any
       Compensation Plan, or (C) result in any acceleration of the time of
       payment, funding or vesting of any such benefit.

           (9) Neither Somerset nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains any
       compensation plans, programs or arrangements the payments under which are
       not or would not reasonably be expected to be deductible as a result of
       the limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations
       issued thereunder. None of Somerset, the Surviving Corporation or any of
       their respective Subsidiaries will be obligated to make a payment as a
       result, directly or indirectly, of the transactions contemplated by this
       Agreement that would not reasonably be expected to be deductible as a
       result of the limitations under Section 162(m) of the Code and the
       regulations issued thereunder.

           (10) As a result, directly or indirectly, of the transactions
       contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a
       result of any termination of employment prior to, at or following the
       Effective Time), neither Somerset nor the Surviving Corporation, or any
       of their respective Subsidiaries will be obligated to make a payment that
       would be characterized as an "excess parachute payment" to an individual
       who is a "disqualified individual" (as such terms are defined in
       Section 280G of the Code)in respect of Somerset, without regard to
       whether such payment is reasonable compensation for personal services
       performed or to be performed in the future.

        (m)  LABOR MATTERS.  Neither Somerset nor any of its Subsidiaries is a
    party to or is bound by any collective bargaining Contract or understanding
    with a labor union or labor organization, nor is Somerset or any of its
    Subsidiaries the subject of a proceeding asserting that it or any such
    Subsidiary has committed an unfair labor practice (within the meaning of the
    National Labor Relations Act) or seeking to compel Somerset or any such
    Subsidiary to bargain with any labor organization as to wages or conditions
    of employment, nor is there any strike or other labor dispute involving it
    or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to Somerset's knowledge, threatened,
    nor is Somerset aware of any activity involving it or any of its
    Subsidiaries' employees seeking to certify a collective bargaining unit or
    engaging in other organizational activity.

        (n)  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.  (1) To Somerset's knowledge, Somerset and
    each of its Subsidiaries has complied in all material respects at all times
    with applicable Environmental Laws;

                                      A-19

    (2) to Somerset's knowledge, no property (including buildings and any other
    structures) currently or formerly owned or operated by Somerset or any of
    its Subsidiaries has been contaminated with, or has had any release of, any
    Hazardous Substance except as Previously Disclosed; (3) to Somerset's
    knowledge, neither Somerset nor any of its Subsidiaries would reasonably be
    expected to be ruled to be the owner or operator under any Environmental Law
    of any property in which it has currently or formerly held a Lien; (4) to
    Somerset's knowledge, neither Somerset nor any of its Subsidiaries is

    order, decree, injunction or other agreement with any Governmental Authority
    or any third party relating to any Environmental Law; (7) to Somerset's

    any of its Subsidiaries or any currently or formerly owned or operated
    property (including the presence of asbestos, underground storage tanks,
    lead products, polychlorinated biphenyls or gas station sites) that could
    result in any claims, liability or investigations or result in any
    restrictions on the ownership, use, or transfer of any property pursuant to
    any Environmental Law; and (8) Somerset has delivered to First Indiana
    copies of all environmental reports, studies, sampling data, correspondence,
    filings and other environmental information in its possession or reasonably

    or formerly owned or operated property or any property in which Somerset or
    any of its Subsidiaries has held a Lien.

        (o)  TAX MATTERS.  (1) All returns, declarations, reports, estimates,
    information returns and statements required to be filed on or before the
    Effective Date under federal, state, local or any foreign tax laws ("Tax

    such Tax Returns are filed) have been paid or adequate reserves have been
    established for the payment of such Taxes; (4) no audit or examination or
    refund litigation with respect to any such Tax Return is pending or, to

    have never been a member of an affiliated, combined, consolidated or unitary
    Tax group for purposes of filing any Tax Return (other than a consolidated

    futures and forward contracts and other similar risk management
    arrangements, whether entered into for Somerset's own account, or for the
    account of one or more of Somerset's Subsidiaries or their customers, were
    entered into (1) in accordance with prudent business practices and all
    applicable laws, rules, regulations and regulatory policies and (2) with
    counterparties believed to be financially responsible at the time; and each
    of them constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Somerset or
    one of its Subsidiaries, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as

    applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights or by general

       except in each case as may be noted therein, subject to normal year-end
       audit adjustments in the case of unaudited statements.

take, in accordance with applicable law, applicable stock exchange rules, and
their respective articles of incorporation and by-laws, all action necessary to
convene appropriate meetings of their shareholders to consider and vote upon the
approval and adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the actions and
transactions contemplated hereby, and to solicit shareholder approval and
adoption, as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is
declared effective. The Somerset Board and the First Indiana Board each is
recommending and, unless either board of directors, after having consulted with


                                      A-24
<PAGE>

and considered the advice of outside counsel and its investment banking firm,
has determined in good faith that to do so would result in a failure by the
directors to discharge properly their fiduciary duties in accordance with
Indiana law, the Somerset Board and First Indiana Board will continue to
recommend to the shareholders of Somerset and First Indiana, respectively, that
they approve this Agreement and take any other action required to permit
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. First Indiana agrees to
take all action necessary to cause the Board of Directors of Financial Services
to approve and have executed the Financial Services Merger Agreement, and First
Indiana agrees to approve such agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby in its capacity as sole shareholder of Financial Services.


    6.03  REGISTRATION STATEMENT.

        (a) First Indiana agrees to prepare a registration statement on
    Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement"), to be filed by First Indiana with
    the SEC in connection with the issuance of First Indiana Common Stock in the
    Merger (including the proxy statement and prospectus and other proxy
    solicitation materials of First Indiana and Somerset constituting a part
    thereof (the "Proxy Statements") and all related documents). Somerset agrees
    to cooperate, and to cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate, with First
    Indiana, its counsel and its accountants, in preparation of the Registration
    Statement and the Proxy Statements; and, provided that Somerset and its
    Subsidiaries have cooperated as required above, First Indiana agrees to file
    the Registration Statement with the SEC as promptly as reasonably
    practicable after the date hereof. Each of Somerset and First Indiana agrees
    to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be
    declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably
    practicable after filing thereof. First Indiana also agrees to use all
    reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or
    "Blue Sky" permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions
    contemplated by this Agreement. Somerset agrees to furnish to First Indiana
    all information concerning Somerset, its Subsidiaries, officers, directors
    and shareholders as may be reasonably requested in connection with the
    foregoing.

        (b) Each of Somerset and First Indiana agrees, as to itself and its
    Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it
    for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (1) the Registration
    Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement and each amendment or
    supplement thereto, if any, becomes effective under the Securities Act,
    contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
    material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
    statements therein not misleading, and (2) the Proxy Statements and any
    amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to shareholders
    and at the time of the shareholders meetings for the respective
    corporations, contain any untrue statement which, at the time and in the
    light of the circumstances under which such statement is made, is false or
    misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material
    fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not false or
    misleading or necessary to correct any statement in any earlier statement in
    the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto. Each of Somerset
    and First Indiana further agrees that if it shall become aware prior to the
    Effective Date of any information furnished by it that would cause any of
    the statements in the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect
    to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to
    make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the
    other party thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Proxy
    Statements.

        (c) First Indiana agrees to advise Somerset, promptly after First
    Indiana receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement
    has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, of the
    issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of First
    Indiana Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the
    initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any
    request by the SEC for the amendment or supplement of the Registration
    Statement or for additional information.

<PAGE>
    6.04  PRESS RELEASES.  Each of Somerset and First Indiana agrees that it
will not, without the prior approval of the other party, issue any press release
or written statement for general circulation relating to the transactions
contemplated hereby (except for any release or statement that, in the written
opinion of outside counsel to such party, is required by law or regulation and
as to which such party has used its best efforts to discuss with the other party
in advance, provided that such release or statement has not been caused by, or
is not the result of, a previous disclosure by or at the direction of such party
or any of its representatives that was not permitted by this Agreement).

    6.05  ACCESS; INFORMATION.

        (a) Each of Somerset and First Indiana agrees that upon reasonable
    notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of
    information, it shall afford the other party and the other party's officers,
    employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, such
    access during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the
    Effective Time to the books, records (including, without limitation, tax
    returns and work papers of independent auditors), properties, personnel and
    to such other information as any party may reasonably request and, during
    such period, it shall furnish promptly to such other party (1) a copy of
    each material report, schedule and other document filed by it pursuant to
    the requirements of federal or state securities or banking laws, and
    (2) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel
    of it as the other may reasonably request.

        (b) Each of Somerset and First Indiana agrees that it will not, and will
    cause its representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to
    this Section 6.05 for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the
    transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the requirements of
    law, each party will keep confidential, and will cause its representatives
    to keep confidential, all information and documents obtained pursuant to
    this Section 6.05 in accordance with that certain Confidentiality Agreement
    dated as of January 7, 2000 by and between First Indiana and Somerset. In
    the event that this Agreement is terminated or the transactions contemplated
    by this Agreement shall otherwise fail to be consummated, each party shall
    promptly cause all copies of documents or extracts thereof containing
    information and data as to another party hereto to be returned to the party
    which furnished the same.

        (c) No investigation by either party of the business and affairs of the
    other shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representation,
    warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or the conditions to
    either party's obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by
    this Agreement.

    6.06  ACQUISITION PROPOSALS.  Somerset agrees that it shall not, and shall
cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries' officers, directors,
agents, advisors and affiliates not to, solicit or encourage inquiries or
proposals with respect to, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide
any confidential information to, or have any discussions with, any person
relating to, any tender or exchange offer, proposal for a merger, consolidation
or other business combination involving Somerset or any of its Subsidiaries or
any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner a substantial equity interest in,
or a substantial portion of the assets or deposits of, Somerset or any of its
Subsidiaries, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any of
the foregoing, an "Acquisition Proposal"); provided however, that if Somerset is
not otherwise in violation of this Section 6.06, the Somerset Board may provide
information to, and may engage in such negotiations or discussions with, a
person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, directly or through
representatives, if the Somerset Board, after consultation with its outside
counsel and McDonald, determines in good faith that its failure to engage in any
such negotiations or discussions would constitute a failure to discharge
properly the fiduciary duties of such directors in accordance with Indiana law.
Somerset shall promptly (within 24 hours) advise First Indiana following the
receipt by it of any Acquisition Proposal and the substance thereof (including
the identity of the person making such Acquisition Proposal and a copy of such

                                      A-26
<PAGE>
Acquisition Proposal), and advise First Indiana of any developments with respect
to such Acquisition Proposal immediately upon the occurrence thereof.

    6.07  AFFILIATE AGREEMENTS.  Not later than the 15th day prior to the
mailing of the Proxy Statements, Somerset shall deliver to First Indiana a
schedule of each person that, to Somerset's knowledge, is or is reasonably
likely to be, as of the date of the Somerset shareholders' meeting, deemed to be
an "affiliate" of it (each, a "Somerset Affiliate") as that term is used in
Rule 145 under the Securities Act. Somerset agrees to use its reasonable best
efforts to cause each person who may be deemed to be a Somerset Affiliate to
execute and deliver to Somerset and First Indiana on or before the date of
mailing of the Proxy Statement an agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B.

    6.08  NASDAQ LISTING.  First Indiana agrees to use its best efforts to list,
prior to the Effective Date, on the National Market System of NASDAQ, subject to
official notice of issuance, the shares of First Indiana Common Stock to be
issued to the holders of Somerset Common Stock in the Merger.

    6.09  REGULATORY APPLICATIONS.

        (a) First Indiana and Somerset and their respective Subsidiaries shall
    cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare all
    documentation, to effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents,
    approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental
    Authorities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
    Agreement. Each of First Indiana and Somerset agrees that it will consult
    with the other party hereto with respect to the obtaining of all material
    permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and
    Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the
    transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the
    other party appraised of the status of material matters relating to
    completion of the transactions contemplated hereby. Copies of applications
    and correspondence with such Governmental Authorities promptly shall be
    provided to the other party.

        (b) Each of First Indiana and Somerset agrees, upon request, to furnish
    the other party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries,
    directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be
    reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or
    application made by or on behalf of such other party or any of its
    Subsidiaries to any third party or Governmental Authority.

    6.10  D & O INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.

        (a) For a period of two years from the Effective Time, First Indiana
    shall use its reasonable best efforts obtain an endorsement to its
    directors' and officers' liability insurance policy to cover the present and
    former officers and directors of Somerset or any of its Subsidiaries
    (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against such
    directors and officers arising from facts or events which occurred before
    the Effective Time, which insurance shall contain at least the same coverage
    and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous, as that
    coverage currently provided by Somerset; provided however, that if First
    Indiana is unable to obtain such endorsement, then First Indiana may
    purchase run-off coverage under Somerset's existing directors' and officers'
    liability insurance policy for such claims; provided further, that in no
    event shall First Indiana be required to expend each year during such
    two-year period more than one and one-half times the current annual amount
    spent by Somerset (the "Insurance Amount") to maintain or procure its
    current directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage; provided
    further, that if First Indiana is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance
    called for by this Section 6.10(a), First Indiana shall use its reasonable
    best efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the
    Insurance Amount; provided, further, that officers and directors of Somerset
    or any Subsidiary may be required to make application and provide customary
    representations and warranties to First Indiana's insurance carrier for the
    purpose of obtaining such insurance.

                                      A-27
<PAGE>
        (b) For six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation
    shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former officers
    and directors of Somerset and its Subsidiaries against all losses, expenses
    (including attorneys' fees), claims, damages or liabilities arising out of
    actions or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time (including,
    without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) to the
    full extent then permitted under the IBCL and by First Indiana's Articles of
    Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof, including provisions relating
    to advances of expenses incurred in the defense of any action or suit.

        (c) If First Indiana shall consolidate with or merge into any other
    entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such
    consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its
    assets to any entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made
    so that the successors and assigns of First Indiana shall assume the
    obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

    6.11  ACCOUNTANTS' LETTERS.  Each of Somerset and First Indiana shall use
its reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to the other party, and
such other party's directors and officers who sign the Registration Statement,
with the consent of KPMG, LLP, independent auditors, letters of KPMG, LLP dated
(a) the date on which the Registration Statement shall become effective and
(b) a date shortly prior to the Effective Date, and addressed to such other
party, and such directors and officers, in form and substance customary for
"comfort" letters delivered by independent accountants in accordance with
Statement of Accounting Standards No. 72.

    6.12  NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN MATTERS.  Each of Somerset and First Indiana
shall give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known
to it that (a) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all
other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material
Adverse Effect with respect to it or (b) would cause or constitute a material
breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
contained herein.

    6.13  EMPLOYEE MATTERS.  First Indiana agrees that those employees of
Somerset or its Subsidiaries who become employees of First Indiana or its
Subsidiaries on the Effective Date ("Former Somerset Employees"), while they
remain employees of First Indiana or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Date
will be provided with benefits under employee benefit plans during their period
of employment which are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided
by First Indiana to similarly situated employees of First Indiana and its
Subsidiaries or to those currently provided by Somerset. At the Effective Time,
First Indiana will amend or cause to be amended each employee benefit plan of
First Indiana and its Subsidiaries in which Former Somerset Employees are
eligible to participate, to the extent necessary, so that as of the Effective
time (i) such plans take into account for purposes of eligibility, vesting and
benefit accrual, the service of such employees with Somerset and its
Subsidiaries as if such service were with First Indiana and its Subsidiaries, to
the same extent that such service was credited under a comparable plan of
Somerset and its Subsidiaries, (ii) Former Somerset Employees and their
dependents who were covered immediately prior to the Effective Time under any
medical benefit plan of Somerset are not subject to any waiting periods or
pre-existing condition limitations under the comparable medical benefit plans of
First Indiana or its Subsidiaries in which they are eligible to participate
(other than waiting periods and pre-existing condition limitations no longer or
more limiting than those to which they were subject under such medical benefit
plan of Somerset) and may commence participation in such plans on the Effective
Date, (iii) Former Somerset Employees will retain credit for unused sick leave
and vacation pay which has been accrued as of the Effective Time, and (iv) for
purposes of determining the entitlement of Former Somerset Employees to sick
leave and vacation pay following the Effective Time, the service of such
employees with Somerset and its Subsidiaries shall be treated as if such service
were with First Indiana and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it
is contemplated that Financial Services will not adopt and maintain for its
employees the qualified defined benefit pension plan currently maintained by
First Indiana and its other Subsidiaries for their respective employees.
Further, it is contemplated that Financial Services may cover its employees
under the 401(k) and medical benefit plans now maintained by Somerset

                                      A-28
<PAGE>
rather than under the 401(k) and medical benefit plans now maintained by First
Indiana and its other Subsidiaries and that such 401(k) plan of Somerset will
continue to be in effect until at least January 1, 2001. It is also contemplated
that Financial Services may cover its employees under the employee stock
purchase plan now maintained by Somerset and that such plan will continue to be
in effect until at least January 1, 2001, except that such plan would relate to
First Indiana Common Stock instead of Somerset Common Stock. Financial Services
will honor the employment agreements of Somerset which have been disclosed to
First Indiana in the Disclosure Schedule of Somerset.

    adverse to the interests of the other party (whether in accordance with
    Section 6.02 or otherwise).

        (f)  ACCEPTANCE OF SUPERIOR PROPOSAL.  By Somerset, if, without
    breaching Section 6.06, Somerset shall contemporaneously enter into a
    definitive agreement with a third party providing for an Acquisition
    Proposal on terms determined in good faith by the Somerset Board, after
    consulting with and considering the written advice of Somerset's outside
    counsel and financial advisors, to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided,
    that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
    Section 8.01(f) shall not be available to Somerset unless it delivers to
    First Indiana (1) written notice of Somerset's intention to terminate at
    least five days prior to termination and (2) simultaneously with such
    termination, the Fee referred to in Section 8.03.

        (g)  SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE.  By Somerset, if the average of the
    closing prices of First Indiana Common Stock for the thirty (30) trading
    days ending five (5) trading days before the Effective Time is less than
    $14.40 per share.

    8.02  EFFECT OF TERMINATION AND ABANDONMENT.  In the event of termination of
this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger pursuant to this Article VIII,
no party to this Agreement shall have any liability or further obligation to any
other party hereunder except (a) as set forth in Sections 8.03 and 9.01 and
(b) that termination will not relieve a breaching party from liability for any
willful breach of this Agreement giving rise to such termination.

    8.03  TERMINATION FEE.  If (1) First Indiana terminates this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.01(e) (at a time when Somerset could not also terminate
pursuant to Section 8.01(e)) or (2) Somerset terminates this Agreement pursuant
to Section 8.01(f), then, within five business days of such termination,
Somerset shall pay First Indiana by wire transfer in immediately available funds
a fee of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the "Fee"). If Somerset terminates
this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e) (at a time when First Indiana could
not also do so pursuant to Section 8.01(e), then, within five business days of
such termination, First Indiana shall pay the Fee to Somerset by wire transfer
in immediately available funds. If Somerset terminates this Agreement solely by
reason of the failure of Somerset to receive shareholder approval of the Merger,
and if, within twelve months of the date of such termination by Somerset, a
change in control of Somerset is consummated, then Somerset shall pay the Fee to
First Indiana by wire transfer in immediately available funds. (For purposes of
this Section 8.03, a "change in control" shall be deemed to have taken place if:
(w) any person or entity, including a "group" as defined in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, other than Somerset or
First Indiana, or a group consisting of Robert H. McKinney and Marni McKinney,
or a Subsidiary of Somerset, or a Subsidiary of First Indiana, or any employee
benefit plan of Somerset or First Indiana or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of
securities representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the then-issued and
outstanding common stock of Somerset or the combined voting power of the
then-outstanding securities of Somerset, whether through a tender offer or
otherwise; (x) there occurs any consolidation or merger in which Somerset is not
the continuing or surviving corporation (except for a merger in which the
holders of Somerset's common and/or other voting stock immediately prior to the
merger have the same pro- portionate ownership of common and/or other voting
stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger); (y) there
occurs any consolidation or merger in which Somerset is the surviving
corporation but in which shares of its common and/or other voting stock would be
converted into cash or securities of any other corporation or other property; or
(z) there occurs any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction
or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets
of Somerset.) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Fee shall be required to be paid
if First Indiana or Somerset terminates this Agreement solely because of the
failure of either party to obtain shareholder approval of this Agreement and the
actions and transactions contemplated hereby.

Board of Directors
The Somerset Group, Inc.
135 N. Pennsylvania Street
Suite 2800
Indianapolis, IN 46204

Attention:  Mr. Robert H. McKinney
        Chairman of the Board

Madame and Gentlemen:

    You have requested our opinion with respect to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, as of the date hereof, to the holders of the common
stock, without par value ("Somerset Common Stock"), of The Somerset Group, Inc.
("Somerset"), of the Consideration, as set forth in Section 3.01(a) of the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of April 19, 2000 (the
"Agreement"), between Somerset and First Indiana Corporation ("First Indiana").

    The Agreement provides for the merger (the "Merger") of Somerset with and
into First Indiana. Pursuant to the Agreement at the Effective Time (as defined
in the Agreement), each outstanding share of Somerset Common Stock, other than
any shares held in the treasury of Somerset, will be exchanged for the right to
receive 1.21 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of the common stock, par value of
$.01 per share, of First Indiana ("First Indiana Common Stock") or $24.70 in
cash, provided that the aggregate number of shares of First Indiana Common Stock
that shall be issued in the Merger shall be not less than the product of
(a) sixty-five percent (65%) of (b) the Exchange Ratio, times (c) the number of
shares of Somerset Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time, as set
forth in Section 3.01(a) of the Agreement. The terms and conditions of the
Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

    McDonald Investments Inc., as part of its investment banking business, is
customarily engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in
connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary
distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and
valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes.

    We have acted as Somerset's financial advisor in connection with, and have
participated in certain negotiations leading to, the Agreement. In connection
with rendering our opinion set forth herein, we have among other things:


         (i) Reviewed Somerset's Annual Reports to Shareholders and Annual
             Reports on Form 10-K for each of the years ended December 31, 1999,
             December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, including the audited
             financial statements contained therein, and Somerset's Quarterly
             Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2000
             and June 30, 2000;

         (ii) Reviewed First Indiana's Annual Reports to Shareholders and Annual
              Reports on Form 10-K for each of the years ended December 31,
              1999, December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, including the
              audited financial statements contained therein, and First
              Indiana's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters
              ended March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000;


        (iii) Reviewed certain other public and non-public information,
              primarily financial in nature, relating to the respective
              businesses, earnings, assets and prospects of Somerset and First
              Indiana provided to us or publicly available;

         (iv) Participated in meetings and telephone conferences with members of
              senior management of Somerset and First Indiana concerning the
              financial condition, business, assets, financial forecasts and
              prospects of the respective companies, as well as other matters we
              believed relevant to our inquiry;

         (v) Reviewed certain stock market information for Somerset Common Stock
             and First Indiana Common Stock, and compared it with similar
             information for certain companies, the securities of which are
             publicly traded;

         (vi) Compared the results of operations and financial condition of
              Somerset and First Indiana with that of certain companies, which
              we deemed to be relevant for purposes of this opinion;

        (vii) Reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of
              certain acquisition transactions, which we deemed to be relevant
              for purposes of this opinion;

       (viii) Reviewed the Agreement dated April 19, 2000 and certain related
              documents; and

         (ix) Performed such other reviews and analyses as we have deemed
              appropriate.

    In our review and analysis and in arriving at our opinion, we have assumed
and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other
information reviewed by us and have relied upon the accuracy and completeness of
the representations, warranties and covenants of Somerset and First Indiana
contained in the Agreement. We have not been engaged to undertake, and have not
assumed any responsibility for, nor have we conducted, an independent
investigation or verification of such matters. We have not been engaged to and
we have not conducted a physical inspection of any of the assets, properties or
facilities of either Somerset or First Indiana, nor have we made or obtained or
been furnished with any independent valuation or appraisal of any of such
assets, properties or facilities or any of the liabilities of either Somerset or
First Indiana. With respect to financial forecasts used in our analysis, we have
assumed that such forecasts have been reasonably prepared by management of
Somerset and First Indiana, as the case may be, on a basis reflecting the best
currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Somerset and
First Indiana, as to the future performance of Somerset, First Indiana, and
Somerset and First Indiana combined, as the case may be. We have not been
engaged to and we have not assumed any responsibility for, nor have we conducted
any independent investigation or verification of such matters, and we express no
view as to such financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based.
We have also assumed that all of the conditions to the consummation of the
Merger, as set forth in the Agreement, including the tax-free treatment of the
Merger to the holders of Somerset Common Stock who elect to receive payment for
their shares in shares of First Indiana Common Stock, and that the merger will
be accounted for under

the purchase method of accounting, would be satisfied and that the Merger would
be consummated on a timely basis in the manner contemplated by the Agreement.

    Our engagement was limited to providing financial advice to the Special
Committee of the Board of Directors of Somerset in connection with the Merger,
and we were not requested to, and did not, solicit indications of interest from
any potential acquirors. We will receive a fee for our services as financial
advisor to Somerset, a substantial portion of which is contingent upon closing
of the Merger. We will also receive a fee for our services in rendering this
opinion. In the past, we have also provided certain other investment banking
services for First Indiana and have received compensation for such services.

    In the ordinary course of business, we may actively trade securities of
Somerset and First Indiana for our own account and for the accounts of customers
and, accordingly, we may at any time hold a long or short position in such
securities.

    This opinion is based on economic and market conditions and other
circumstances existing on, and information made available as of, the date
hereof. In addition, our opinion is, in any event, limited to the fairness, as
of the date hereof, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration, to the
holders of Somerset Common Stock, and does not address the underlying business
decision by Somerset's Board of Directors to effect the Merger, does not compare
or discuss the relative merits of any other terms of the Merger, and does not
constitute a recommendation to any Somerset shareholder as to how such
shareholder should vote with respect to the Merger. This opinion does not
represent an opinion as to what the value of Somerset Common Stock or First
Indiana Common Stock may be at the Effective Time of the Merger or as to the
prospects of Somerset's business or First Indiana's business.

    This opinion is directed to the Board of Directors of Somerset and may not
be reproduced, summarized, described or referred to or given to any other person
without our prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this opinion
may be included in the proxy statement to be mailed to the holders of Somerset
Common Stock in connection with the Merger, provided that this opinion will be
reproduced in such proxy statement in full, and any description of or reference
to us or our actions, or any summary of the opinion in such proxy statement,
will be in a form reasonably acceptable to us and our counsel.

    Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the
date hereof, the Consideration is fair to the holders of Somerset Common Stock
from a financial point of view.

                                          Very truly yours,

                                          /s/ McDonald Investments Inc.

election of each holder of Somerset common stock, either (i) 1.21 shares of

from, and sell securities to, First Indiana and as a market maker in securities
we may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt
or equity securities of First Indiana for our own account and for the accounts
of our customers. To the extent we have any such position as of the date of this
opinion it has been disclosed to First Indiana. We have acted as a financial
advisor to the Board of Directors of First Indiana in rendering this fairness
opinion and will receive a fee from First Indiana for our services.

    In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the
Agreement; the Registration Statement on Form S-4, Annual Reports to
Stockholders of First Indiana and Somerset for the three years ended
December 31, 1999; certain interim reports to stockholders and Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q of Somerset and First Indiana, and certain internal financial
analyses and forecasts for Somerset and First Indiana prepared by management. We
also have held discussions with members of the senior management of Somerset and
First Indiana regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory
relationships, financial condition and future prospects of their respective

                                      C-1

[LETTERHEAD]

companies. In addition, we have compared certain financial and stock market
information for Somerset and First Indiana with similar information for certain
other companies the securities of which are publicly traded and performed such
other studies and analyses as we considered appropriate.

    In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon
and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other
information provided to us or publicly available and we have not assumed any
responsibility for independently verifying any of such information. We have
relied upon the management of First Indiana and Somerset as to the
reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and
projections (and the assumptions and bases therefor) provided to us, and we have
assumed that such forecasts and projections reflect the best currently available
estimates and judgments of First Indiana and Somerset and that such forecasts
and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods
currently estimated by such management. We have also assumed that the aggregate
allowances for loan losses for First Indiana are adequate to cover such losses.
In rendering our opinion, we have not made or obtained any evaluations or
appraisals of the property of First Indiana or Somerset nor have we examined any
individual credit files of First Indiana.

    We have considered such financial and other factors as we have deemed
appropriate under the circumstances, including among others the following:
(i) the historical and current financial position and results of operations of
First Indiana and Somerset and (ii) the assets and liabilities of First Indiana
and Somerset. We have also taken into account our assessment of general
economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other
transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation and our
knowledge of the banking industry generally. Our opinion is necessarily based
upon conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and the
information made available to us through the date hereof.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date
hereof, the Consideration in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view,
to the common stockholders of First Indiana.

                                          Very truly yours,

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

    First Indiana Corporation is an Indiana corporation. Chapter 37 of The
Indiana Business Corporation Law (the "IBCL") requires a corporation, unless its
articles of incorporation provide otherwise, to indemnify a director or an
officer of the corporation who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise,
in the defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether
formal or informal, against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees,
incurred in connection with the proceeding.

    The IBCL also permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer,
employee or agent who is made a party to a proceeding because the person was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or its subsidiary
against liability incurred in the proceeding if (i) the individual's conduct was
in good faith and (ii) the individual reasonably believed (A) in the case of
conduct in the individual's official capacity with the corporation that the
conduct was in the corporation's best interests and (B) in all other cases that
the individual's conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best
interests and (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the individual either
(A) had reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was lawful or
(B) had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful.
The IBCL also permits a corporation to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses
incurred before the final disposition of the proceeding and permits a court of
competent jurisdiction to order a corporation to indemnify a director or officer
if the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the
person met the standards for indemnification otherwise provided in the IBCL.

    First Indiana's by-laws require First Indiana to indemnify any person made a
party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she was
a director, officer, employee or agent of First Indiana if the person meets the
requirements of the IBCL for indemnification

ITEM 22.  UNDERTAKINGS.

    A. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
       Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
       persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
       otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
       Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
       policy as expressed

                                      II-2
<PAGE>
       in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
       for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
       the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
       controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
       action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
       controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
       the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
       been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
       jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
       public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
       adjudication of such issue.

    B.  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for
       information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus
       pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business
       day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by
       first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information
       contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the
       registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

    C.  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
       post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and
       the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of
       and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

    D. (1)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior
       to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through
       use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by
       any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning
       of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus
       will contain the information called for by the applicable registration
       form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed
       underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other
       items of the applicable form.

       (2)  The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (i) that is filed
       pursuant to paragraph (1) immediately preceding or (ii) that purports to
       meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act and is
       used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415,
       will be filed as a part of an amendment to the Registration Statement and
       will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purpose
       of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
       post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
       statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
       such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
       offering thereof.
