Item 1.  Financial Statements.  (Continued)


     The interim financial statements furnished under this item reflect

all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for

a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations

for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal

recurring nature.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Result of Operations.


     The following analysis should be read in conjunction with the

financial statements set forth in Part I, Item 1, immediately preceding

this section.

     Reference is made to the report of the registrant on Form 10-K

for the year ending December 31, 1997, which report was filed with the

Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March 30, 1998.

     (a)  Liquidity

     Liquidity has been defined as the ability to fund increases in

loan demand or to compensate for decreases in deposits and other sources

of funds, or both.  Maintenance of adequate liquidity is essential in

the financial planning process.  The objective of asset/liability

management is to provide an optimum balance of safety, liquidity and

earnings.  The registrant seeks to generate adequate cash flows to meet

its needs without sacrificing income or taking undue risks.  Cash and

cash equivalents increased $3,221.9 thousand in the first quarter of 1998

due to an excess of deposit growth over loan demand and management's

decision to delay investment activity due to the current interest rate

environment.

     Marketable investment securities, particularly those of short

maturities, are the principal source of asset liquidity.  Securities

maturing in one year or less amounted to $15,594,321 at March 31,

1998, representing 21.8 percent of the investment securities portfolio

as compared to the 25.2 percent level of one year earlier. Management 

classifies a majority of the investment portfolio in the available-for-

sale category and reports these securities at fair value.  Management

does no anticipate the sale of a material amount of investment

securities classified as available-for-sale in the forseeable future.

     Other sources of liquidity include maturing loans and federal

 funds sold.

     The registrant knows of no unusual demands, commitments, or

events which could adversely impact the liquidity of the registrant.

     (b)  Capital Adequacy

     The Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the

Currency and the FDIC have issued risk-based capital guidelines for

U.S. banking organizations.  These guidelines provide a uniform capital

framework that is sensitive to differences in risk profiles among

banking companies.

     Under these guidelines, total capital consists of Tier I capital

(core capital, primarily stockholders' equity) and Tier II capital

(supplementary capital, including certain qualifying debt instruments
<PAGE>
and the loan loss reserve).  Assets are assigned risk weights ranging

from 0 percent to 100 percent depending on the level of credit risk

normally associated with such assets.  Off-balance sheet items (such as

commitments to make loans) are also included in assets through the use

of conversion factors established by regulators and are assigned risk

weights in the same manner as on-balance sheet items.  Banking

institutions are expected to maintain a Tier I capital to risk-weighted

assets ratio of at least 4.00 percent, a total capital (Tier I plus

Tier II) to total risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 8.00 percent,

and a Tier I capital to total assets ratio (leverage ratio) of at

least 3.00 percent.  The following table sets out the appropriate

regulatory standards as well as First Pulaski National Corporation's

actual ratios at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Result of Operations.  (Continued)



     (c)  Results of Operations

     Net income of the registrant amounted to $1,101,118 in the first

three months of 1998.  This amounted to an increase of $50,523, or

4.8 percent, compared to the first three months of 1997.  Net income

was higher, as compared to the same period last year, largely due to

increased net interest income.  Net interest income increased mainly

because of significant growth in income earned on loans, including 

loan fees and interest income on securities.  This more than offset

the rise in interest expense, which resulted primarily from increases


in interest paid on time deposit accounts as compared to first quarter

last year.  Other income for the first three months showed an increase

from same period last year mainly due to the rise in service charges

on deposit accounts and miscellaneous income.  However, this increase

was more than offset by the increase in total other expenses, which

was the result of net occupancy expense and other operating costs.

Salaries and employee benefits were also slightly higher as compared

to the first quarter of 1997.

     Net interest income, the largest component of earnings for the

registrant, is the difference between income earned on loans and

investments and interest paid on deposits and other sources of funds.

The net interest income of the registrant for the three month period

ending March 31, 1998 increased by $287,591, or 9.3 percent, as

compared to the same period of 1997, reflecting the fact that an

appropriate balance is being maintained between the company's interest

sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities to provide yields

appropriate to the risk and liquidity involved.

     The loan loss provision for the three months ended March 31,

1998, decreased $105,000 over the same period in 1997.

     Income before taxes increased by $98,747, or 6.0 percent as

compared to the same period from prior year.  The increase in

applicable income taxes was $48,224, or 8.0 percent.

     On a per share basis, income was $0.71 per share based on 1,553,173

shares for the first three months of 1998 as compared to $0.69 per share

on 1,532,263 shares for the first three months of 1997. 

     Non-performing assets at December 31, 1997 included $115.4 thousand

in other real estate owned, $701.9 thousand in non-accrual loans, and

$176.0 thousand in loans past due ninety days or more as to interest or

principle payment.  Additionally, there were no restructured loans at

year-end.  At March 31, 1998, the corresponding figures were $114.5

thousand in other real estate owned, $537.8 thousand in non-accrual

loans, $128.3 thousand in loans past due ninety days or more, and no

loans restructured.  The allowance for loan losses totaling $2,685.9

thousand is deemed sufficient by management to cover potential losses

in the loan portfolio.

     In the opinion of management, the registrant maintains a strong

financial position and is optimistic that trends as reflected in the

Form 10-Q will be sustained.
