                         Notes To Financial Statements

                                 June 30, 1997





1.      The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1997, the related
consolidated statements of income for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, and the statement of cash flows for the six  month period ended
June 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited.



2.      In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been
included.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
year.



3.      The consolidated statements include the accounts of First Independence
Corporation (the "Corporation") and its wholly owned subsidiary, First
Independence National Bank of Detroit (the "Bank").  All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



4.      Securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized
cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to
maturity.  Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be
sold before maturity.  Securities available for sale are carried at fair value,
with unrealized holding gains and losses reported seperately in shareholders'
equity.



        Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined using amortized
cost of the specific security sold.  Interest income includes amortization of
purchased premiums and discounts.



5.      Loans are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of
deferred loan fees and costs, and the allowance for loan losses.  Interest
income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization of net
deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term.



6.      The allowance for possible losses on loans is maintained at a level
believed adequate by management to absorb potential losses from specific assets
identified as having greater than a normal risk of loss as well as losses from
the remainder of the portfolio.  Management's determination of the level of the
allowance is based upon an evaluation of the portfolio, past experience,
current economic conditions, size and composition of the portfolio, collateral
location and values, cash flow positions, industry concentrations,
delinquencies and other relevant factors.



        Loan impairment is reported when full paymant under the loan terms is
not expected.  Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of
similiar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer, and credit card loans,
and on an individual basis for other loans.  If a loan is impaired, a portion
of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present
value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the
fair value of the colateral if the loan is collateral dependant.  When credit
analysis of a borrower's operating results and financial condition indicates
that the underlying cash flows of the borrower's business are not adequate to
meet its debt service requirements, including the Bank's loans to the borrower,
the loan is evaluated for impairment.  Often this is associated when payments
are delayed, typically 90 days or more, or when the internal grading system
indicates a substandard or doubtful classification.

Interest that would have been accrued on the non-accrual loans at June 30,
1997, had they been on accrual status would have been approximately $20,000.



7.      All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.



8.      In 1991, a former senior officer of the Bank filed a complaint in the
Circuit Court for the County of Wayne, Michigan, against the Bank, a
non-operating subsidiary of the Bank, and the Corporation and certain directors
and another former officer thereof alleging wrongful termination.  In May 1993,
a jury verdict was entered against the Corporation, a non-operating subsidiary
of the Bank, certain directors and another former officer thereof, in the
amount of $320,000 by a Wayne County Circuit Court.  A judgment was entered on
the verdict in October 1994.  An accrual for the judgment was recorded in 1994
and is reflected in the consolidated financial statements and attorney fees and
other litigation costs have been expensed as they were incurred.  The
Corporation appealed the judgment to the Michigan Court of Appeals and on March
14, 1997, the judgment was reversed by the Court of Appeals holding that there
was no liability by the Corporation, the Bank's subsidiary, or any of the
individual defendants.  The plaintiff has sought leave of the Michigan Supreme
Court to appeal the reversal by the Michigan Court of Appeals.  Counsel for the
Corporation are of the opinion that the appeal is without merit.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Summary of Operations



Net loss for the second quarter of 1997  was $280,158 or $.86 per share,
compared to net income of $171,052 or $.48 per share for the second quarter of
1996.   The decrease in net income for the second quarter of 1997, as compared
to 1996, resulted from a higher loan loss provision, decrease in net interest
income, and a decrease on gains on sales of residential real estate loans.



For the first six months of 1997, Net Income was $596,743, or $1.72 per share,
an increase of $433,422 over the Net Income of $163,321 for the first six
months of 1996.  The increase in Net Income resulted from the February 21,
1997, insurance settlement of $1,441,721 from its fidelity insurance
underwriters in settlement of the Bank's claims related to the fictitious
"loans" made in late 1995 and January 1996.  The Bank recorded a recovery of
$1,137,000 to the allowance for loan losses for amounts previously charged off
related to the fictitious "loans."  The balance of $308,000 was received by the
Bank in exchange for $308,000 in performing loans written by a consumer loan
officer with no lending authority. Subsequently, the allowance was reduced
through a negative provision of $874,572, in the first quarter of 1997.



Net Interest Income



Net interest income in the second quarter of 1997 was $1,141,351, a decrease of
$63,886 from second quarter 1996 net interest income of $1,205,237.  The
decrease was attributable to lower yielding earning assets and higher rates on
deposits.  As a result of  lower yields on earning assets and higher rates on
deposits, net interest margin decreased 41 basis points from 5.55 percent in
the second quarter of 1996 to 5.14 percent in the second quarter of 1997.



Provision for Possible Credit Losses



The Provision for Possible Credit Losses in the second quarter in 1997 amounted
to $348,693, an increase of  $258,693 from the second quarter 1996 Provision
for Possible Credit Losses of $90,000.   The increase in provision is a result
of management's continued efforts to address problem loans.  A detailed
analysis of the related Allowance for Possible Credit Losses, charge-offs,
recoveries, and ratios is presented on page 11.



Noninterest Income



Noninterest income for the second quarter of 1997 amounted to $290,943, a
decrease of $136,160, or 32 percent, from second quarter 1996 noninterest
income of $427,103.  The decrease was largely attributable to a decrease in
gains on sales of residential real estate loans of approximately $101,000, due
to lower residential mortgage originations.



Noninterest  Expenses



Noninterest expenses for the second quarter of 1997 amounted to $1,363,759, a
decrease of $7,529, or .5 percent, from second quarter 1996 noninterest expense
of $1,371,288.  Salaries and benefits decreased $74,000 and professional
services decreased $48,000.  These decreases were offset by an increase in
other noninterest expenses of  $111,000, primarily due to an increase in FDIC
assessment of $30,000 and writedown of other assets of $62,000.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Liquidity



Deposits at June 30, 1997 totaled $82,656,572 while federal funds sold were
$10,767,000 (13% of total deposits).  Total securities available-for-sale at
June 30, 1997 were $12,585,921 (15% of total deposits).  In addition,
approximately $6,395,000 (7.7% of total deposits) of the Bank's $33 million of
securities will mature within one year.  Thus, the bank has a liquidity
position such that management believes it is capable of funding loan demand or
deposit withdrawals.



Investments



The Bank had $33,119,547 of investment securities at June 30, 1997, compared to
$29,175,658 of such securities at December 31, 1996.    The following is a
summary of the maturities and weighted average yields from the investment
portfolio at June 30, 1997.  Yields are not calculated on a tax equivalent
basis.

At June 30, 1997, the Bank had $3,860,000 of loans that were nonperforming.
Nonperforming loans include non-accrual loans, loans with principal or interest
past due 90 days or more, and loans that have matured and are being extended or
rewritten after their stated maturity date.



Non-accrual loans are those nonperforming and/or impaired loans on which the
Bank does not accrue interest income.  Loans are placed on non-accrual status
when principal or interest is in default for a period of 90 days or more unless
the loan is in the process of collection and is well secured so that delinquent
principal and interest would be expected to be satisfied from the collateral.
Nonperforming loans and non-accrual loans are all considered "impaired loans"
under SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", and SFAS
118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosure."  At June 30, 1997, total nonperforming and impaired loans amounted
to 9.32% of the aggregate loans at June 30, 1997, compared to 7.12% at the end
of 1996.



The table included on page 6 details information concerning nonperforming
loans, as of June 30, 1997.  The amount of interest income that would have been
accrued on the loans on non-accrual status at June 30, 1997, had those loans
remained current, was approximately $20,000.



At June 30, 1997, there were no significant loans other than those included in
the table on page 6, for which information was known that caused management to
have serious doubts as to the ability of borrowers to comply with loan
repayment terms.



The allowance for loan losses totaled $892,322 at June 30, 1997, compared to
the 1996 year end balance of $765,561.  The allowance for loan losses
represented 2.15% of loans compared with 1.66% at December 31, 1996.  The
allowance for loan losses was 23% of the nonperforming loans at June 30, 1997.
At December 31, 1996, the allowance was 23% of such loans.  The total amount of
the allowance for loan losses is based on management's evaluation of the
portfolio, past experience, economic conditions, composition of the portfolio,
collateral location and values, cash flow positions of the borrowers,
delinquencies and other factors deemed relevant.  The allowance for loan
losses, in management's opinion, is adequate taking all such considerations
into account.



The loan review system and charge-off policy assist management in identifying
problem loans and credit deterioration earlier than in the past, and continuing
implementation of the loan review system will improve this process further.
Loans charged off in the second quarter of 1997 aggregated $333,298.  The
charge offs were part of the Bank's continuing effort to address problem loans
in the loan portfolio and improve the quality of the loan assets.  Collection
efforts in the second quarter of 1997 resulted in recoveries of $39,171 on
loans previously charged off.

Capital Resources



At June 30, 1997, the ratio of equity capital to average assets of the Bank was
6.28% and in compliance with the Comptroller of Currency requirement of 5.50%.
The risk-based Tier 1 capital ratio at June 30, 1997 was 12.87% and the Bank's
total capital ratio at June 30, 1997, was 14.13%.



As a result of 1997 net income, the Bank is now legally able to pay dividends
to the Corporation, subject to prior approval of the Comptroller of the
Currency.  The Bank is prohibited from paying any cash dividends to the
Corporation without prior written consent of the Comptroller of the Currency
until  the Comptroller Agreement described in the 10-KSB is terminated.  The
Bank has requested and received permission from the Comptroller of the Currency
to pay dividends to the Corporation so that the Corporation can pay the Senior
Note holders and Class A and Class B Preferred Stock holders interest and
dividends due them.



The Corporation in June 1996, requested the holders of its Class A and Class B
Preferred Stock and of its $900,000 of Senior Notes for a waiver of defaults in
payment of interest on the Senior Notes and dividends on the Class A and Class
B Preferred Stock during 1996 as a result of the loan department losses.  The
waiver would not forgive any dividends or interest due in 1996 but would allow
the Corporation to make the payment any time in 1997 without penalty.  The
Series 1994-1 Preferred Stock is not entitled to receive dividends, but a 4%
dividend is required to be paid on the series 1994-1 Stock before any dividends
may be paid on the Common Stock.  In May 1997, the Corporation paid dividends
and interest to Class A and B Preferred Shareholders and Senior Note holders.
The Corporation is currently up to date on all dividend and interest payments.
