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

    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 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, 1995, which report was filed with the

    Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March 30, 1996.

         (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 an

    essential component of 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.

         Marketable investment securities, particularly those of short

    maturities, are the principal source of asset liquidity.  Securities

    maturing in one year or less amounted to $14,885,388 at June 30,


                               PAGE 7 OF 16 PAGES

    1996, representing 23.8 percent of the investment securities portfolio

    as compared to the 17.7 percent level of one year earlier.  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

    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

         Effective April 18, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a five-
        
    for-one stock split of the common stock effected in the form of a stock

    dividend to shareholders of record on July 1, 1996.  The aggregate par

    value of the additional shares($1,214,072) was transferred from

    retained earnings to the common stock account.


         (c)  Results of Operations

         Net income of the registrant was $2,028,063 in the first six

    months of 1996.  This amounted to an increase of $261,372, or 14.8


                               PAGE 9 OF 16 PAGES

    percent, compared to the first six months of 1995.  Net income was

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

    interest income.  Net interest income increased mainly because of

    significant growth in income earned on investment securities and loans,

    including fees.  This growth more than offset the rise in interest

    expense, which resulted primarily from an increase in interest paid on

    time deposits as compared to June 1995.  Other income for the first six

    months showed a decrease from the same period last year mainly because

    of a reduction in other service charges, fees and miscellaneous income,

    as well as a loss on sale of investment securities.  However, this

    decrease had minimal effect in that total other expenses were down by

    a greater degree.  This was the result of a reduction in advertising,

    public relations and other operating costs with occupancy, salaries and

    employee benefits slightly higher than in June 1995.

         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 six month period

    ending June 30, 1996 increased by $609,242, or 11.0 percent, as

    compared to the same period of 1995, 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.

         Income before taxes increased by $465,298 or 17.2 percent as

              and Result of Operations.   (Continued)                           


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

    applicable income taxes was $203,926, or 21.6 percent.

         On a per share basis, net income was $1.33 per share based on

    1,519,350 shares for the first six months of 1996 as compared to $1.16

    per share on 1,525,415 shares for the first six months of 1995.  These

    per share figures have been restated to reflect the increased number of

    common shares resulting from the stock split approved April 18, 1996 and

    to take effect July 1, 1996.

         Non-performing assets at December 31, 1995 included $110 thousand

    in other real estate owned, $208 thousand in non-accrual loans, and

    $210 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, 1996, the corresponding figures were $93 thousand

    in other real estate owned, $449 thousand in non-accrual loans,  $395

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

    restructured.  Although there was a slight increase in nonaccrual loans

    from December 31, 1995, the allowance for loan losses totaling $2,189

    thousand is deemed sufficient by management to cover potential losses

    in the loan portfolio.

         On January 1 of 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial

    Accounting Standards No. 115.  As a result of the issuance and

    adoption of this statement, management now classifies a majority of the

    investment portfolio in the available-for-sale category and reports


                               PAGE 11 OF 16 PAGES

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


    these securities at fair value.  Management does not anticipate the sale

    of a material amount of investment securities classified as available-

    for-sale in the forseeable future.  However, these securities may be

    sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment

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

    strategy.

         On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted FASB Statements No. 114 and

    No. 118, both of which deal with accounting by creditors for impairment

    of loans.  Statements No.114 and No.118 provide new rules for measuring

    impairment losses on loans.  As of the second quarter of 1996, the

    Company has identified those loans which it deems to be impaired and has

    computed allowances which management believes to be sufficient for those

    loans.  The adoption of these statements had no material effect on the

    earnings or financial condition of the Company.

         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.

    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.


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

         (a)  The annual meeting of the stockholders of the First Pulaski

    National Corporation was held on April 18, 1996.  All matters subject

    to a vote of security holders were furnished to security holders with

    sufficient advance notice as required.
