Item 1.  Financial Statements.  (Continued)


     Note to Consolidated Financial Statements


     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 results of operations for the interim periods

presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in

financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted

accounting procedures have been condensed or omitted, as allowed under

rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for

interim period presentation.  The results for interim periods are not

necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the complete

fiscal year.


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, 1998, which report was filed with the

Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March 30, 1999.

     This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements

regarding, among other things, the anticipated financial and operating

results of the registrant.  Investors are cautioned not to place undue

         and Result of Operations.  (Continued)


reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of

the date hereof.  The registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly

release any modifications or revisions of these statements to reflect

events or circumstances occurring after the day hereof, or to reflect

the occurrence of unanticipated events.

     In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the registrant cautions

investors that future financial and operating results may differ

materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made by,

or on behalf of, the registrant.  Such forward-looking statements

involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, but not

limited to, adverse changes in interest rates, bad debt of a material

amount, loss of key personnel, and interruptions in operations caused

by the Y2K issue.  These risks and uncertainties may cause the actual

results or performance of the registrant to be materially different

from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such

forward-looking statements.


     (a)  Results of Operations

     Net income of the registrant was $1,865,076 in the first six

months of 1999.  This amounted to a decrease of $385,404, or 17.1 percent,

compared to the first six months of 1998.  For the three month period

ended June 30, 1999, net income decreased $103,848, or 9.0 percent, as

compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998.  Net income was

lower as compared to the same period last year largely due to an
<PAGE>
                     PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                     ------------------------------

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


approximately $640,000 increase in operating expenses, discussed

below, and an approximately $300,000 decrease in net interest income

(see below) offset by an approximately  $390,000 decrease in income

taxes paid.

     Net interest income, the largest component of net income for the

registrant, is the difference between income earned on loans and

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

Net interest income, exclusive of the provision for credit losses, of

the registrant for the six month period ending June 30, 1999

decreased by $313,143, or 4.6 percent, as compared to the same period in

1998, mainly due to a decrease in interest and fee income on loans with

a slight decrease in interest on federal funds sold.  For the three month

period ended June 30, 1999, net interest income decreased by $103,316, or

3.0% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998. Interest income

on investment securities increased approximately $134,000 for the first

six months of 1999.  The increase was mainly reflected by an increase

of $167,571 in investment securities during the second quarter of 1999

as  compared to the same period last year. Total interest expense was

lower in the first six months of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998

primarily because of a decrease in interest paid on time deposits.  These

same factors attributed to interest expense for the three months ended

June 30, 1999 in comparison with the second quarter of 1998.

     Total other expenses increased $640,286, or 16.0 percent, for the

six months ending June 30, 1999 as compared to same period last year.

                     PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                     ------------------------------

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


For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the increase in other expenses

over last year was $334,739, or 16.6 percent.  This was primarily due to

increased other operating costs.  These costs included a loss from the

uninsured portion of an insurance claim for misappropriated funds and

additional costs involving pending litigation.  Part II, Item 1 of this

report discusses this further.

     The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30,

1999, decreased $84,190, or 20.4 percent, over the same period in 1998.

For the three month period ended June 30, 1999, the decrease in the

provision was $68,478, or 29.3 percent compared to the same three months

in 1998.

     Income before taxes decreased by $775,221, or 21.8 percent, as

compared to the same period from the prior year.  For the three month

period, the decrease in income before taxes was $263,873, or 14.7%, as

compared to the second quarter in 1998.  The decrease in applicable

income taxes was $389,817, or 30.0 percent for the six month period

and $160,025, or 24.6% for the three month period as compared to the

same periods in 1998.

     On a per share basis, net income was $1.18 per share based on

1,574,326 shares for the first six months of 1999 as compared to $1.45

per share on 1,554,311 shares for the first six months of 1998.


     (b) Financial Condition

     The registrant's total assets increased 2.5% to $281,827,242

during the six months ending June 30, 1999, from $275,004,977 at
<PAGE>

                     PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                     ------------------------------

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


December 31, 1998.  Loans and leases, net of allowance for credit

losses, totaled $169,454,302 at June 30, 1999, a 1.6 % increase

compared to $166,715,527 at December 31, 1998.  Securities, both

available for sale and held to maturity, increased $14,989,488, or

20.9%, to $86,551,814 at June 30, 1999, from $71,562,326 at year-end 1998.

The unrealized loss on securities of $422,018 at period ended June 30,

1999 is simply a result of the interest rate risk in the market.  As of

this date, the market has since led to a decrease in the unrealized loss

on the registrant's securities portfolio.  The increase in securities

was primarily a result of management's decision to shift federal funds

into the registrant's investment portfolio.  Federal funds sold decreased

$9,895,267 to $3,074,808 at June 30, 1999, from $12,970,075 at

December 31, 1998.

     Total liabilities increased by 2.9% to $245,347,801 for the six

months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $238,318,782 at December 31,

1998.  This increase was composed primarily of a $5,957,500 increase

in interest bearing deposits (a 3.0% increase).

     Non-performing assets increased 8.0% to 3,908.3 thousand for the

six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 3,618.6 thousand at December

31, 1998.  Non-performing assets at December 31, 1998 included $192.9

thousand in other real estate owned, $3,173.1 thousand in non-accrual

loans, and $252.6 thousand in loans past due ninety days or more as to

interest or principal payment. Additionally, there were no restructured

loans at year-end.  At June 30, 1999, the corresponding figures were

                     PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                     ------------------------------

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


$115.0 thousand in other real estate owned, $3,489.0 thousand in non-

accrual loans, 304.3 thousand in loans past due ninety days or more, and

no loans restructured.  Nonaccrual loans in both periods are largely due

to the result of the default on the loans to persons and entities related

to the registrant's former CEO.  Management has begun to review problem

loans more closely and more frequently and as a result, additional

loans have been placed in nonaccrual status, thus accounting for the

increase since year-end.

     The registrant has computed allowances for credit losses which

management believes to be sufficient.  Although there was an increase

in nonaccrual loans from December 31, 1998, the allowance for credit

losses totaling $3,153.7 thousand, or 1.83% of total loans outstanding

is deemed sufficient by management to cover potential losses in the

loan portfolio.


     (c)  Liquidity

     Liquidity is 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 an essential component

of the financial planning process.  The objective of asset/liability

management is to provide an optimum balance of 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 decreased 10,614.6 thousand as of the end of the second

quarter in 1999 due to management's decision to shift federal funds into

                     PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                     ------------------------------

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


the registrant's investment portfolio.

     Marketable investment securities, particularly those of short

maturities, are the principal source of asset liquidity.  Securities

maturing in one year or less amounted to $19,285,439 at June 30,

1999, representing 22.3 percent of the registrant's investment portfolio

as compared to 18.7 percent one year earlier.  Management classifies

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

category and reports these securities at fair value.  These securites

may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in

prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital, or asset/

liability strategy.

     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.


     (d)  Capital Adequacy

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

Currency and the FDIC have established 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 banks.

     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

and credit loss reserve).  Assets are assigned risk weights ranging from

0 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 June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

YEAR 2000

     The registrant continues its effort to assure that it is ready

for Year 2000.  The registrant has adopted a broad-based approach

designed to encompass all areas whereby the registrant must be

ready or have contingencies in place.

     The registrant's Year 2000 Steering Committee, active since 1997,

meets monthly and reports on a quarterly basis to the Board of

Directors regarding the status of any of the registrant's Year 2000

risks.  The areas being addressed by the Steering Committee include:

    *   Subsidary bank's primary data processing system.  This software

        and hardware is of the highest priority for day to day

        operations, accounting and success of the subsidiary bank.
<PAGE>

                     PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                     ------------------------------

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


    *   Government systems, such as the Federal Reserve Bank for

        check clearing, wire transfers and the free flow of exchange

        of funds between institutions.

    *   The internal PC hardware and software systems within the

        subsidiary bank.

    *  Credit administration, i.e., the risk associated with the

       Year 2000 status of the subsidiary bank's loan customers and

       depositors.

    The Steering Committee has adopted a Year 2000 Plan which has

five phases: awareness, assessment and planning, renovation, testing,

and implementation.  The registrant has completed the first four

of these phases and is currently in the Y2K Plan's final phase.  The

registrant has completed its assessment of its hardware, software

and other information technologies system and has found no

irregularities.  Consequently, at March 31, 1999, the Year 2000

Steering Committee has determined that substantially all of the

registrant's core systems will operate properly in the Year 2000.

    The registrant has been in constant dialog with key vendors

and service providers with whom the registrant has a material

relationship and is performing due diligence over their redemption

and testing efforts in connection with their Y2K readiness.  All

mission-critical vendors have informed the registrant that they

are Y2K compliant.

     The registrant will continue to monitor its vendors and

         and Result of Operations.  (Continued)


suppliers to seek to minimize risks to the registrant and its

customers.

    Customer awareness of the registrant's Y2k readiness is critical.

Steps taken by the registrant's subsidiary bank to prepare for the

Year 2000 will be shared with customers through newsletters,

statement stuffers, and the Y2K training of employees.  The

registrant believes customers must have a high confidence level

in the subsidiary bank at the end of 1999 to avoid mass withdrawals

of funds from the registrant.  The registrant is working toward

a comprehensive customer awareness program during the 1999 year.

    The registrant has required Y2K readiness information from all

of its major borrowers and funds providers.  The registrant

believes commercial borrowers must realize the impact that the Y2K

issue could have on their respective businesses.  Based upon

information received from these borrowers, the registrant has both

designated a specific additional amount in its allowance for loan

losses and implemented a plan to monitor the Y2K readiness of

borrowers not currently in compliance.

    Based on the registrant's current estimate, the registrant has

allocated $137,400 in total to fund testing and replacement costs

in connection with Year 2000 issues.  This estimate excludes

internal personnel costs, as the registrant does not track and

specifically assign these costs.  To date, the registrant has paid

approximate 52% of these projected costs. At this time, management

                     PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                     ------------------------------

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


does not believe these costs will have a material effect on the

operations or financial performance of the registrant.  The cost

expected to be incurred the remaining portion of the year will be

used to finalize and test the registrant's contingency plan and

to finalize Year 2000 compliance of any non-critical technology

systems currently not in compliance, if any.

    The registrant believes that the reasonably likely worse case

scenario that could occur as a result of the year 2000 issue is loss

of electricity and telephone services.  Deposit, withdrawal and

other transaction processing for customers of the subsidiary bank

depend directly on the registrant's information technology systems,

and also on the use of electricity as well as telephone services.

While the registrant believes its own systems to be Y2K ready,

loss of power could significantly delay the subsidiary bank's

ability to adequately process bank and customer transactions, thus

adversely impacting the registrant's operations.  The registrant

has developed a Year 2000 Contingency Plan to address the possibility

of power outages and telephone service disruption, as well as other

operational risks that could occur as a result of the Y2K issue.

    The Contingency Plan was approved by the Board of Directors

in January 1999 and has since been amended to add more detail.  The

Plan was designed to assure that mission-critical systems will

continue in the event that one or more systems should fail.  The

Contingency Plan addresses all aspects of the registrant's
<PAGE>

                     PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         and Result of Operations.  (Continued)


operation systems identifying those systems as mission critical,

semi-critical, or non-critical.  Alternatives are in place for

many of the systems identified detailing information on

contingency processes, their capabilities, and the personnel that

are responsible for addressing and correcting system issues and

supervising alternative plans.  For example, certain personnel

are identified to test electricity and telephone services

Saturday, January 1, 2000.  The Contingency Plan also identifies

contact individuals' phone numbers and addresses.  The Plan further

provides both on-site and off-site locations, materials, personnel,

and procedures to implement back up transaction processing in the

event electricity is not restored by Monday, January 3, 2000, going

forward.  The contingency plan will be updated continually as final

testing of each mission-critical and other system applications have

been completed.

    The above discussion of Year 2000 as used includes numerous

forward-looking statements reflecting management's current

assessment and estimates with respect to the registrant's Year 2000

compliance efforts and the impact of Year 2000 issues on the

registrant's business and operations.  Statements are based on

information currently available to management.  Various factors

could cause actual results to differ materially from those

contemplated by such estimates and forward-looking statements,

including many factors that are beyond control of the registrant.

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


These factors include, but are not limited to the success of the

registrant in identifying systems and programs that are not Year 2000

compliant, the continuing availability of experienced consultants

and information technology personnel, the ability of third parties

to complete their own Year 2000 remediations, and the ability of

the registrant to implement contingency plans.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.


     The registrant's primary component of market risks is interest

rate volatility.  Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact

both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the

registrant's assets and liabilities, and the market value of all

interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than

those which possess a short term to maturity.  Based upon the nature

of the registrant's operations, the registrant is not subject to foreign

currency exchange or commodity price risk.

     Interest rate risk management focuses on the earnings risk

associated with changing interest rates.  Management seeks to maintain

profitability in both immediate and long term earnings through funds

management and interest rate risk management.  The registrant's rate

sensitive position has an important impact on earnings.  Management of

the registrant meets regularly to analyze the rate sensitivity position,

focusing on the spread between the cost of funds and interest yields

generated primarily through loans and investments.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.


     The registrant and its subsidiary are involved, from time to time,

in ordinary routine litigation incidental to the banking business.

Neither the registrant nor its subsidiary is involved in any material

pending legal proceedings, except as follows:

     The registrant has filed suits in Giles County, Tennessee,

Chancery Court against Carroll M. Curry, John T. Curry, Connie Curry,

Cathy Curry, C & C Partnership and C & T Partnership (the "Curry

Debtors") to collect promissory notes on which such persons are liable

as makers or guarantors.  The Curry Debtors filed a counter-complaint

in March 1999 against our bank subsidiary, First National Bank of Pulaski

(the "Bank"), alleging (I) that the Bank knew or should have known of

certain activities of Mike Curry, the Bank's former Chairman and Chief

Executive Officer, and that the Bank had a duty to inform the Currys of

of these activities,  (ii) that the Bank was negligent and reckless in

placing Mike Curry in a position to commit fraud on the Currys and

(iii) the Bank, through its officers, and directors and employees,

intentionally, recklessly and fraudulently concealed Mike Curry's

fraudulent conduct from the Currys.  The counter claim also alleges

violations of Federal Banking Law, the Tennessee Consumer Protection

Act and alleges that certain Curry Debtor obligations were the result

of coersion and duress.  The Curry Debtors have also filed a third party

complaint making these same allegations against 27 current and former

officers and directors of the registrant.  The registrant is obligated

to indemnify the individual defendants to the full extent provided under

Tennessee law.  The counter claim and third party complaint seek

$8 million in compensatory and $20 million in punitive damages.  The

registrant will continue to vigorously contest all claims asserted by the

Currys in their counter-complaint, which the Bank believes are totally

without merit.

     AmSouth Bank has filed suit in the United States Bankruptcy Court

case of Robert M. Curry to recover for alleged breaches of presentment

and warranty claims arising under the Uniform Commercial Code, for

conversion of collateral allegedly pledged to AmSouth and for an

equitable subordinate of the Bank's claims in the Curry bankruptcy case

and subordination of the Bank's security interest in Curry Debtors'

stock.  The Bank will continue to vigorously contest all claims in this

case.


Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

     In addition to stock issued under the 1994 Outside Directors Stock

Option Plan, two Giles County investors, under Section 3(a)(11) of the

Securities Act of 1933, each purchased 25 shares of common stock of and

from the Corporation in January, 1999, for a total of 50 shares at

$35.00 per share.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

     At the annual meeting of stockholders on April 29, 1999, there
