PART I
Item 1. Business.
General
Wilson Bank Holding Company (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 17, 1992 under the laws of the State of Tennessee. The purpose of the Company was to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Wilson Bank and Trust (the “Bank”) and act as a one-bank holding company. On November 17, 1992, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of the Bank pursuant to the terms of a plan of share exchange and agreement.
All of the Company’s banking business is conducted through the Bank, a state chartered bank organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee. The Bank, on December 31, 2007, had ten full service banking offices located in Wilson County, Tennessee, one full service banking facility in Trousdale County, Tennessee, two full service banking offices in eastern Davidson County, Tennessee, three full service banking offices located in Rutherford County, Tennessee, two full service banking offices in DeKalb County, Tennessee and two full service banking facilities in Smith County, Tennessee.
Prior to March 31, 2005, the Company owned a 50% interest in DeKalb Community Bank and Community Bank of Smith County. On March 31, 2005, the Company acquired the minority interest in the subsidiaries when the two subsidiaries were merged into the Bank with the shareholders of these subsidiaries, other than the Company, receiving shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for their shares of common stock in the subsidiaries. Prior to March 31, 2005, these two 50% owned subsidiaries were included in the consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s principal executive office is located at 623 West Main Street, Lebanon, Tennessee, which is also the principal location of the Bank. The Bank’s branch offices are located at 1444 Baddour Parkway, Lebanon, Tennessee; 200 Tennessee Boulevard, Lebanon, Tennessee; 402 Public Square, Watertown, Tennessee; 8875 Stewart’s Ferry Pike, Gladeville, Tennessee; 1476 North Mt. Juliet Road, Mt. Juliet, Tennessee; 11835 Highway 70, Mount Juliet, Tennessee; 127 McMurry Boulevard, Hartsville, Tennessee; 1130 Castle Heights Avenue North, Lebanon, Tennessee; the Wal-Mart Super Center, Lebanon, Tennessee; 440 Highway 109 North, Lebanon, Tennessee; 4736 Andrew Jackson Parkway in Hermitage, Tennessee; 151 Heritage Park Drive, Suite 102, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee; 217 Donelson Pike, Nashville, Tennessee, 802 NW Broad St, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, 3110 Memorial Blvd, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, 210 Commerce Drive, Smyrna, Tennessee, 2640 South Church Street, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, 576 West Broad Street, Smithville, Tennessee, 306 Brush Creek Road, Alexandria, Tennessee,1300 Main Street North, Carthage, Tennessee, and 7 New Middleton Highway, Gordonsville, Tennessee. Management believes that Wilson County, Trousdale County, Davidson County, Rutherford County, DeKalb County and Smith County offer an environment for continued banking growth in the Company’s target market, which consists of local consumers, professionals and small businesses. The Bank offers a wide range of banking services, including checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit and loans for consumer, commercial and real estate purposes. The Bank also offers custodial, trust and discount brokerage services to its customers. The Bank does not have a concentration of deposits obtained from a single person or entity or a small group of persons or entities, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on the business of the Bank. Furthermore, no concentration of loans exists within a single industry or group of related industries
The Bank was organized in 1987 to provide Wilson County with a locally-owned, locally-managed commercial bank. Since its opening, the Bank has experienced a steady growth in deposits and loans as a result of providing personal, service-oriented banking services to its targeted market. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company reported net earnings of approximately $11.0 million and had total assets of approximately $1.3 billion.
Financial and Statistical Information
The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, selected financial data and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K (the “2007 Annual Report”), are incorporated herein by reference.
Regulation and Supervision
In addition to the information set forth herein, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, incorporated by reference in Item 7 hereof, further discusses recent banking legislation and regulation and should be reviewed in conjunction herewith.
The Company and the Bank are subject to extensive regulation under state and federal statutes and regulations. The discussion in this section, which briefly summarizes certain of such statutes, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference

Table of Contents

to such statutes. Other state and federal legislation and regulations directly and indirectly affecting banks are likely to be enacted or implemented in the future; however, such legislation and regulations and their effect on the business of the Company and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted.
The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “Act”) and is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board”). The Company is required to file annual reports with, and is subject to examination by, the Board. The Bank is chartered under the laws of the State of Tennessee and is subject to the supervision of, and is regularly examined by, the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions. The Bank is also regularly examined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Under the Act, a bank holding company may not directly or indirectly acquire ownership or control of more than five percent of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any company, including a bank, without the prior approval of the Board. In addition, bank holding companies are generally prohibited under the Act from engaging in non-banking activities, subject to certain exceptions and the modernization of the financial services industry in connection with the passing of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”). Under the Act, the Board is authorized to approve the ownership by a bank holding company of shares of any company whose activities have been determined by the Board to be so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
In November 1999, the GLB Act became law. Under the GLB Act, a “financial holding company” may engage in activities the Board determines to be financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity or complementary to a financial activity and not a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of such depository institutions or the financial system. Generally, such companies may engage in a wide range of securities activities and insurance underwriting and agency activities. The Company has not made application to the Board to become a “financial holding company.”
Under the Tennessee Bank Structure Act, a bank holding company which controls 30% or more of the total deposits in all federally insured financial institutions in Tennessee is prohibited from acquiring any bank in Tennessee. Furthermore, no bank holding company may acquire any bank in Tennessee that has been in operation less than three years or organize a new bank in Tennessee, except in the case of certain interim bank mergers and acquisitions of banks in financial difficulty. State banks and national banks in Tennessee, however, may establish branches anywhere in the state.
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “IBBEA”) authorized interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without geographic limitation beginning on June 1, 1997. In addition, on that date, the IBBEA authorized a bank to merge with a bank in another state as long as neither of the states has opted out of interstate branching between the date of enactment of the IBBEA and May 1, 1997. Tennessee enacted interstate branching laws in response to the federal law which prohibit the establishment or acquisition in Tennessee by any bank of a branch office, branch bank or other branch facility in Tennessee except (i) a Tennessee-chartered bank, (ii) a national bank which has its main office in Tennessee or (iii) a bank which merges or consolidates with a Tennessee-chartered bank or national bank with its main office in Tennessee.
The Company and the Bank are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, respectively, on any extensions of credit to the bank holding company or its subsidiary bank, on investments in the stock or other securities of the bank holding company or its subsidiary bank, and on taking such stock or other securities as collateral for loans of any borrower. The Bank takes Company Common Stock as collateral for borrowings subject to the aforementioned restrictions.
The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system for insured depository institutions that takes into account the risks attributable to different categories and concentrations of assets and liabilities. In early 2006, Congress passed the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, which made certain changes to the Federal deposit insurance program. These changes included merging the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund, increasing retirement account coverage to $250,000 and providing for inflationary adjustments to general coverage beginning in 2010, providing the FDIC with authority to set the fund’s reserve ratio within a specified range, and requiring dividends to banks if the reserve ratio exceeds certain levels. The new statute grants banks an assessment credit based on their share of the assessment base on December 31, 1996, and the amount of the credit can be used to reduce assessments in any year subject to certain limitations. In 2007, the Bank utilized $331,147 of its credit. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had a credit of $3,270 remaining to be used.
The Financial Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”) provides that a holding company’s controlled insured depository institutions are liable for any loss incurred by the FDIC in connection with the default of, or any FDIC-assisted transaction involving, an affiliated insured bank or savings association.
The maximum permissible rates of interest on most commercial and consumer loans made by the Company’s bank subsidiaries are governed by Tennessee’s general usury law and the Tennessee Industrial Loan and Thrift Companies Act (“Industrial Loan Act”). Certain other usury laws affect limited classes of loans, but the Company believes that the laws referenced above are the most

2


Table of Contents

significant. Tennessee’s general usury law authorizes a floating rate of 4% per annum over the average prime or base commercial loan rate, as published by the Federal Reserve Board from time to time, subject to an absolute 24% per annum limit. The Industrial Loan Act, which is generally applicable to most of the loans made by the Company’s bank subsidiary in Tennessee, authorizes an interest rate of up to 24% per annum and also allows certain loan charges, generally on a more liberal basis than does the general usury law.
Competition
The banking industry is highly competitive. The Company, through its subsidiary bank, competes with national and state banks for deposits, loans, and trust and other services.
The Bank competes with much larger commercial banks in Wilson County, the Bank’s primary market area, including four banks in Wilson County owned by regional multi-bank holding companies headquartered outside of Tennessee and four banks owned by Tennessee multi-bank holding companies. These institutions enjoy existing depositor relationships and greater financial resources than the Company and can be expected to offer a wider range of banking services. In addition, the Bank competes with two credit unions located in Wilson County and two locally-owned banks which were organized in 2001.
The Bank competes with much larger commercial banks in DeKalb County, including two banks owned by Tennessee multi-bank holding companies. While these institutions enjoy existing depositor relationships and greater financial resources than the Bank and can be expected to offer a wider range of banking services, the Company believes that the Bank can expect to attract customers since most loan and management decisions will be made at the local level.
The Bank competes with three commercial banks in Smith County, all of which are small community banking organizations. These institutions enjoy existing depositor relationships; however, the Company believes that the Bank can be expected to offer a wider range of banking services through its financial resources as well as broader range of product offerings.
The Bank competes with much larger commercial banks in Rutherford County. While these institutions enjoy existing depositor relationships and greater financial resources than the Bank and can be expected to offer a wider range of banking services, the Company believes that the Bank can expect to attract customers since most loan and management decisions will be made at the local level.
The Bank competes with two commercial banks in Trousdale County, both of which are small community banking organizations. These institutions enjoy existing depositor relationships; however, the Company believes that the Bank can be expected to offer a wider range of banking services through its financial resources as well as a broader range of product offerings.
Given the competitive market place, the Company makes no predictions as to how its relative position will change in the future.
Monetary Policies
The results of operations of the Bank and the Company are affected by the policies of the regulatory authorities, particularly the Board. An important function of the Board is to regulate the national supply of bank credit in order to combat recession and curb inflation. Among the instruments used to attain these objectives are open market operations in U.S. government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements relating to member bank deposits. These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans and paid for deposits. Policies of the regulatory agencies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to do so in the future. The effect of such policies upon the future business and results of operations of the Company and the Bank cannot be predicted with accuracy.
Employment
As of March 12, 2008, the Company and its subsidiary collectively employed 365 full-time equivalent employees. Additional personnel will be hired as needed to meet future growth.

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
Form 10-K
December 31, 2007
I.   Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity;
Interest Rates and Interest Differential
 
    The Schedule which follows indicates the average balances for each major balance sheet item, an analysis of net interest income and the change in interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in volume and changes in rates.
 
    The difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is net interest income, which is the Company’s gross margin. Analysis of net interest income is more meaningful when income from tax-exempt earning assets is adjusted to a tax equivalent basis. Accordingly, the following schedule includes a tax equivalent adjustment of tax-exempt earning assets, assuming a weighted average Federal income tax rate of 34%.
 
    In this Schedule, “change due to volume” is the change in volume multiplied by the interest rate for the prior year. “Change due to rate” is the change in interest rate multiplied by the volume for the prior year. Changes in interest income and expense not due solely to volume or rate changes have been allocated to the “change due to volume” and “change due to rate” in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each category.
 
    Non-accrual loans have been included in the loan category. Loan fees of $2,483,000, $2,359,000 and $2,197,000 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are included in loan income and represent an adjustment of the yield on these loans.

      The accrual of interest income is discontinued when it is determined that collection of interest is less than probable or the collection of any amount of principal is doubtful. The decision to place a loan on a non-accrual status is based on an evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, collateral liquidation value, economic and business conditions and other factors that affect the borrower’s ability to pay. At the time a loan is placed on a non-accrual status, the accrued but unpaid interest is also evaluated as to collectibility. If collectibility is doubtful, the unpaid interest is charged off. Thereafter, interest on non-accrual loans is recognized only as received. Non-accrual loans totaled $2,167,000 at December 31, 2007, $1,360,000 at December 31, 2006, $225,000 at December 31, 2005, $624,000 at December 31, 2004 and $462,000 at December 31, 2003. Gross interest income on non-accrual loans that would have been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2007 if the loans had been current totaled $128,000 compared to $11,000 in 2006, $13,000 in 2005, $13,000 in 2004 and $8,000 in 2003. The amount of interest and fee income recognized on total loans during 2007 totaled $71,945,000 as compared to $62,567,000 in 2006, $50,283,000 in 2005, $42,796,000 in 2004 and $39,368,000 in 2003.
 
      At December 31, 2007, loans, which include the above, totaling $7,980,000 were included in the Company’s internal classified loan list. Of these loans $5,135,000 are real estate and $2,845,000 are various other types of loans. The values collateralizing these loans is estimated by management to be approximately $11,210,000 ($8,328,000 related to real property securing real estate loans and $2,882,000 related to the various other types of loans). Such loans are listed as classified when information obtained about possible credit problems of the borrowers has prompted management to question the ability of the borrower to comply with the repayment terms of the loan agreement. The loan classifications do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources.
 
      At December 31, 2007, there were no loan concentrations that exceeded ten percent of total loans other than as included in the preceding table of types of loans. Loan concentrations are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities which would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions.
 
      At December 31, 2007 and 2006, other real estate totaled $1,268,000 and $555,000, respectively.

IV.   Summary of Loan Loss Experience, Continued:
 
    The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is based on past loan loss experience and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible loan losses. Such other factors considered by management include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, review of specific loan problems, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay.
 
    Management conducts a continuous review of all loans that are delinquent, previously charged down or which are determined to be potentially uncollectible. Loan classifications are reviewed periodically by a person independent of the lending function. The Board of Directors of the Company periodically reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
 
    The following detail provides a breakdown of the allocation of the allowance for loan losses:

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
          The Company is geographically concentrated in Wilson County, Tennessee and its surrounding counties and changes in local economic conditions could impact its profitability.
          The Company operates primarily in Wilson, DeKalb and Smith counties and the surrounding counties and substantially all of its loan customers and most of its deposit and other customers live or have operations in this same geographic area. Accordingly, the Company’s success significantly depends upon the growth in population, income levels, and deposits in these areas, along with the continued attraction of business ventures to the area and the area’s economic stability and strength of the housing market, and its profitability is impacted by the changes in general economic conditions in this market. In addition, unfavorable local or national economic conditions could reduce the Company’s growth rate, affect the ability of its customers to repay their loans and generally affect its financial condition and results of operations. The Company is less able than a larger institution to spread the risks of unfavorable local economic conditions across a large number of diversified economies.
          The Company could sustain losses if its asset quality declines.
          The Company’s earnings are significantly affected by its ability to properly originate, underwrite and service loans. The Company could sustain losses if it incorrectly assesses the creditworthiness of its borrowers or fails to detect or respond to deterioration in asset quality in a timely manner. Problems with asset quality could cause the Company’s interest income and net interest margin to decrease and its provisions for loan losses to increase, which could adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.
          An inadequate allowance for loan losses would reduce the Company’s earnings.
          The risk of credit losses on loans varies with, among other things, general economic conditions, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the value and marketability of the collateral for the loan. Management maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon, among other things, historical experience, an evaluation of economic conditions and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. Based upon such factors, management makes various assumptions and judgments about the ultimate collectibility of the loan portfolio and provides an allowance for loan losses based upon a percentage of the outstanding balances and takes a charge against earnings with respect to specific loans when their ultimate collectibility is considered questionable. If management’s assumptions and judgments prove to be incorrect and the allowance for loan losses is inadequate to absorb losses, or if the bank regulatory authorities require the Bank to increase the allowance for loan losses as a part of their examination process, the Bank’s earnings and capital could be significantly and adversely affected.
          Liquidity needs could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
          The Company relies on dividends from the Bank as its primary source of funds. The primary source of funds of the Bank are customer deposits and loan repayments. While scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, they are subject to the ability of borrowers to repay the loans. The ability of borrowers to repay loans can be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in economic conditions, adverse trends or events affecting business industry groups, reductions in real estate values or markets, business closings or lay-offs, inclement weather, natural disasters and international instability. Additionally, deposit levels may be affected by a number of factors, including rates paid by competitors, general interest rate levels, returns available to customers on alternative investments and general economic conditions. Accordingly, the Company may be required from time to time to rely on secondary sources of liquidity to meet withdrawal demands or otherwise fund operations. Such sources include Federal Home Loan Bank advances and federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks. While the Company believes that these sources are currently adequate, there can be no assurance they will be sufficient to meet future liquidity demands.
          Competition from financial institutions and other financial service providers may adversely affect the Company’s profitability.
          The banking business is highly competitive and the Company experiences competition in each of its markets from many other financial institutions. The Company competes with commercial banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market funds, and other mutual funds, as well as other community banks and super-regional and national financial institutions that operate offices in the Company’s primary market areas and elsewhere. Many of the Company’s competitors are well-established, larger financial institutions that have greater resources and lending limits and a lower cost of funds than the Company has.
          Additionally, the Company faces competition from de novo community banks, including those with senior management who were previously affiliated with other local or regional banks or those controlled by investor groups with strong local business and

26


Table of Contents

community ties. These de novo community banks may offer higher deposit rates or lower cost loans in an effort to attract the Company’s customers, and may attempt to hire the Company’s management and employees.
          The Company competes with these other financial institutions both in attracting deposits and in making loans. In addition, the Company has to attract its customer base from other existing financial institutions and from new residents. This competition has made it more difficult for the Company to make new loans and at times has forced the Company to offer higher deposit rates. Price competition for loans and deposits might result in the Company earning less interest on its loans and paying more interest on its deposits, which reduces the Company’s net interest income. The Company’s profitability depends upon its continued ability to successfully compete with an array of financial institutions in its market areas.
          The Company’s key management personnel may leave at any time.
          The Company’s future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of its key management personnel, especially Randall Clemons, its president and chief executive officer and Elmer Richerson, the president of the Bank. While the Company does not have employment agreements with any of its personnel and can provide no assurance that it will be able to retain any of its key officers and employees or attract and retain qualified personnel in the future, it has entered into non-competition agreements with such persons which would prevent them in most circumstances, from competing with the Bank for one year following their termination. In addition, these persons are parties to certain deferred compensation and equity incentive plans, the benefits of which would cease to accrue upon the termination of the person’s employment with the Company or the Bank.
          The Company, as well as the Bank, operate in a highly regulated environment and are supervised and examined by various federal and state regulatory agencies who may adversely affect the Company’s ability to conduct business.
          The Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve supervise and examine the Bank and the Company, respectively. Because the Bank’s deposits are federally insured, the FDIC also regulates its activities. These and other regulatory agencies impose certain regulations and restrictions on the Bank, including:
    explicit standards as to capital and financial condition;
 
    limitations on the permissible types, amounts and extensions of credit and investments;
 
    restrictions on permissible non-banking activities; and
 
    restrictions on dividend payments.
          Federal and state regulatory agencies have extensive discretion and power to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law by banks and bank holding companies. As a result, the Company must expend significant time and expense to assure that it is in compliance with regulatory requirements and agency practices.
          The Company, as well as the Bank, also undergoes periodic examinations by one or more regulatory agencies. Following such examinations, the Company or the Bank may be required, among other things, to make additional provisions to its allowance for loan loss or to restrict its operations. These actions would result from the regulators’ judgments based on information available to them at the time of their examination. The Bank’s operations are also governed by a wide variety of state and federal consumer protection laws and regulations. These federal and state regulatory restrictions limit the manner in which the Company and the Bank may conduct business and obtain financing. These laws and regulations can and do change significantly from time to time, and any such change could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
          The Company’s common stock is thinly traded, and recent prices may not reflect the prices at which the stock would trade in an active trading market.
          The Company’s common stock is not traded through an organized exchange, but rather is traded in individually-arranged transactions between buyers and sellers. Therefore, recent prices may not necessarily reflect the actual value of the Company’s common stock. A shareholder’s ability to sell the shares of Company common stock in a timely manner may be substantially limited by the lack of a trading market for the common stock.

Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those written policies and procedures that:
    Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
 
    Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and
 
    Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of the changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Table of Contents

Management evaluated the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

General
The Company is a registered bank holding company that owns 100% of the common stock of Wilson Bank and Trust (“Wilson Bank”), a state bank headquartered in Lebanon, Tennessee. The Company was formed in 1992.
Wilson Bank is a community bank headquartered in Lebanon, Tennessee, serving Wilson County, DeKalb County, Smith County, Trousdale County, Rutherford County, and the eastern part of Davidson County, Tennessee as its primary market areas. Generally, this market is the eastern portion of the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro-Franklin, Tennessee metropolitan statistical area. The bank has twenty-one locations in Wilson, Davidson, DeKalb, Smith, Rutherford and Trousdale Counties. Management believes that these counties offer an environment for continued growth, and the Company’s target market is local consumers, professionals and small businesses. Wilson Bank offers a wide range of banking services, including checking, savings and money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit and loans for consumer, commercial and real estate purposes. The Company also offers an investment center which offers a full line of investment services to its customers.
Prior to March 31, 2005, the Company owned a 50% interest in Dekalb Community Bank and Community Bank of Smith County. On March 31, 2005, the Company acquired the minority interest in the subsidiaries when the two subsidiaries were merged into Wilson Bank with the shareholders of these subsidiaries, other than the Company, receiving shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for their shares of common stock in the subsidiaries. Prior to March 31, 2005, these two 50% owned subsidiaries were included in the consolidated financial statements.
The following discussion and analysis is designed to assist readers in their analysis of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements. The Company’s Board of Directors approved a 4 for 3 stock split for stockholders of record as of May 7, 2007 payable May 31, 2007. Each shareholder received one (1) additional share for each three (3) shares owned with no allowance for fractional shares. Per share data included in these consolidated financial statements has been restated to give effect to the stock split.

 


 

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting principles we follow and our methods of applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with general practices within the banking industry. In connection with the application of those principles to the determination of our allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) and the recognition of our deferred income tax assets, we have made judgments and estimates which have significantly impacted our financial position and results of operations. Our management assesses the adequacy of the ALL on a regular basis. This assessment includes procedures to estimate the ALL and test the adequacy and appropriateness of the resulting balance. The ALL consists of two portions: (1) an allocated amount representative of specifically identified credit exposure and exposures readily predictable by historical or comparative experience and (2) an unallocated amount representative of inherent loss which is not readily identifiable. Even though the ALL is composed of two components, the entire allowance is available to absorb any credit losses.
We establish the allocated amount separately for two different risk groups: (1) unique loans (commercial loans, including those loans considered impaired) and (2) homogenous loans (generally consumer loans). We base the allocation for unique loans primarily on risk rating grades assigned to each of these loans as a result of our loan management and review processes. Each risk-rating grade is assigned an estimated loss ratio, which is determined based on the experience of management, discussions with banking regulators, historical and current economic conditions and our independent loan review process. We estimate losses on impaired loans based on estimated cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or the underlying collateral value. We also assign estimated loss ratios to our consumer portfolio. However, we base the estimated loss ratios for these homogenous loans on the category of consumer credit (e.g., automobile, residential mortgage, home equity) and not on the results of individual loan reviews.
The unallocated amount is particularly subjective and does not lend itself to exact mathematical calculation. We use the unallocated amount to absorb inherent losses which may exist as of the balance sheet date for such matters as changes in the local or national economy, the depth or experience of the lending staff, any concentrations of credit in any particular industry group and new banking laws or regulations. After we assess applicable factors, we evaluate the aggregate unallocated amount based on our management’s experience.
We then test the resulting ALL balance by comparing the balance in the allowance account to historical trends and peer information. Our management then evaluates the result of the procedures performed, including the result of our testing, and concludes on the appropriateness of the balance of the ALL in its entirety. The loan review and finance committees of our board of directors review the assessment prior to the filing of financial information.
Results of Operations
Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $10,936,000, an increase of $361,000, or 3.4%, compared to net earnings of $10,575,000 for 2006. Net earnings continued to be negatively impacted by a continued increase in the provision for loan losses resulting from the Company’s continued review of a former officer’s loan portfolio as described more fully below under “Provision for Possible Loan Losses.” The Company also had a decrease in income taxes due to an increase in loans charged off during 2007 resulting from this review. Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $10,575,000, a decrease of $421,000, or 3.8%, compared to net earnings of $10,996,000 for 2005. Basic earnings per share were $1.58 in 2007, compared with $1.56 in 2006 and $1.70 in 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $1.58 in 2007, compared to $1.55 and $1.69 in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2007 was 3.34% as compared to 3.70% and 3.71% for the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on various earning assets exceeds interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities and is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings. Total interest income in 2007 was $85,882,000, compared with $70,690,000 in 2006 and $56,318,000 in 2005. The

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
increase in total interest income in 2007 was primarily due to higher yields on earning assets (particularly during the first three quarters of 2007) and an increase in average earning assets, particularly loans and investment securities. The ratio of average earning assets to total average assets was 94.0%, 93.8% and 94.5% for each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Average earning assets increased $167 million from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007, an increase of 16.0%. The average rate earned on earning assets for 2007 was 7.11%, compared with 6.8% in 2006 and 6.10% in 2005, and in 2007 was negatively impacted by the rate cuts implemented by the Federal Reserve Board beginning in August 2007 and described in more detail below.
Interest earned on earning assets does not include any interest income which would have been recognized on non-accrual loans if such loans were performing. The amount of interest not recognized on non-accrual loans totaled $128,000 in 2007, $11,000 in 2006 and $13,000 in 2005.
Total interest expense for 2007 was $45,721,000, an increase of $13,343,000, or 41.2%, compared to total interest expense of $32,378,000 in 2006. The increase in total interest expense was due to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of approximately $166,206,000 as a result of branch expansion efforts during the second half of 2006 and an increase in the weighted average cost of funds from 3.60% to 4.29% as a result of increased competition on deposit pricing in the Company’s market area and a shift in deposits to higher costing deposits. Interest expense increased from $22,150,000 in 2005 to $32,378,000 in 2006, an increase of $10,228,000, or 46.2%. The increase in 2006 was due to an increase in the weighted average cost of funds from 2.80% to 3.60% net of the effect of a $107,960,000 increase in average interest bearing liabilities.
Net interest income for 2007 totaled $40,161,000 as compared to $38,312,000 and $34,168,000 in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The net interest spread, defined as the effective yield on earning assets less the effective cost of deposits and borrowed funds (calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis), decreased to 2.82% in 2007 from 3.2% in 2006. The net interest spread was 3.3% in 2005. The decrease in the net interest spread for 2007 and 2006 as compared to the prior period is a result of a declining interest rate environment beginning in August 2007. The net interest yield, which is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, decreased to 3.34% for 2007 compared to 3.70% in 2006 and 3.71% in 2005. Short-term interest rates decreased during the last five months 2007 as a result of the Federal Reserve Board’s decision to lower the discount rate. From August 17, 2007 to December 31, 2007, the Federal Reserve lowered the discount rate by 150 basis points. In 2008, the Federal Reserve has lowered the discount rate an additional 125 basis points, and the Company believes that the Federal Reserve Board will continue to lower the discount rate in the first half of 2008. While the Company’s liabilities are positioned to reprice faster than its assets such that a short-term declining rate environment should have a positive impact on the Company’s earnings as its interest expense decreases faster than interest income, management regularly monitors the deposit rates of its competitors and these rates continue to put pressure on the Company’s deposit pricing. This pressure may continue to negatively impact the Company’s net spread even in a short-term falling rate environment. If interest rates were to continue to fall in 2008, the Company should experience expansion in its spread and growth in earnings unless competitive pricing pressures prohibit the Company from lowering rates paid on its deposits. A significant increase in interest rates could have an adverse impact on net interest yields and earnings. Management believes that growth in 2008 will generally approximate the growth experienced in 2007.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for loan losses that, in management’s evaluation, should be adequate to provide coverage for estimated losses on outstanding loans and to provide for uncertainties in the economy. The 2007 provision for loan losses was $4,145,000, an increase of $339,000 from the provision of $3,806,000 in 2006. The increase in the provision for the year ended December 31, 2007 was primarily related to increased charge-offs resulting from the Company’s discovery during the second half of 2006 and further investigation in 2007 of a former branch officer’s apparent inappropriate application of banking procedures when documenting loans and releasing the underlying collateral. The Company continues to review the former officer’s portfolio for any undetermined losses. This review has resulted in additional charge-offs in 2007 and a related increase in the loan loss provision during 2007 and management anticipates additional charge-offs during 2008. The Company expanded its loan review policy to include special reviews of loans with the current balance exceeding the original loan amount, loans with more than four renewals, and loans for which the payment

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
status has been changed concurrent with over-drafting accounts. The provision for loan losses was $1,136,000 in 2005. The provision for possible loan losses is based on past loan loss experience and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible loan losses. Such factors include past loan loss experience, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, review of specific problem loans, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. Management has in place a system designed for monitoring its loan portfolio in an effort to identify potential problem loans.
The Company’s charge-off policy for impaired loans is similar to its charge-off policy for all loans in that loans are charged-off in the month when they are considered uncollectible. Net charge-offs increased to $4,881,000 in 2007 from $2,680,000 in 2006. Charge-offs in 2007 and 2006 were relatively high as a result of the loan officer portfolio analysis. Net charge-offs in 2005 totaled $1,423,000. The ratio of net charge-offs to average total outstanding loans was 0.52% in 2007, 0.32% in 2006, and 0.19% in 2005.
The net charge-offs and provision for loan losses resulted in a decrease of the allowance for loan losses (net of charge-offs and recoveries) to $9,473,000 at December 31, 2007 from $10,209,000 at December 31, 2006 and $9,083,000 at December 31, 2005. The allowance decreased 7.2% at December 31, 2007 over December 31, 2006 as compared to a 12.0% increase in total loans over the same period. The allowance for loan losses was .95% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2007 compared to 1.15% at December 31, 2006 and 1.12% at December 31, 2005. As a percentage of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the allowance for loan losses represented 221%, 192% and 405%, respectively.
The level of the allowance and the amount of the provision involve evaluation of uncertainties and matters of judgment. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses which management believes is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. A formal review is prepared monthly by the Loan Review Officer and provided to the Finance Committee to assess the risk in the portfolio and to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The review includes analysis of historical performance, the level of non-performing and adversely rated loans, specific analysis of certain problem loans, loan activity since the previous assessment, reports prepared by the Loan Review Officer, consideration of current economic conditions and other pertinent information. The level of the allowance to net loans outstanding will vary depending on the overall results of this monthly assessment. The review is presented to the Finance Committee and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors. See the discussion under “Critical Accounting Policies” for more information. Management believes the allowance for possible loan losses at December 31, 2007 to be adequate.
Non-Interest Income
The components of the Company’s non-interest income include service charges on deposit accounts, other fees and commissions, gains on sales of loans, gains on sales of fixed assets and other income. Total non-interest income for 2007 was $10,636,000 compared with $9,486,000 in 2006 and $8,218,000 in 2005. The 12.1% increase over 2006 was primarily due to service charges on deposit accounts (which increased $568,000) and other fees and commissions (which increased $818,000). The increase in other fees and commissions was primarily due to an increase in brokerage fees paid to the Company’s investment department resulting from an increase in assets under management subject to recurring fee income. Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $6,506,000 and $5,938,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively, an increase of $568,000 or 9.6% and an increase of $647,000 or 12.2% from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006.
The Company’s non interest income is composed of several components, some of which vary significantly between periods. Service charges on deposit accounts and other non interest income generally reflect the registrant’s growth, while fees for origination of mortgage loans and brokerage fees and commissions will often reflect stock and home mortgage market conditions and fluctuate more widely from period to period.

Non-Interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses consist primarily of employee costs, occupancy expenses, furniture and equipment expenses, advertising and marketing expenses, data processing expenses, director’s fees, loss on sale of other real estate, other operating expenses and minority interest in net earnings of subsidiaries. Total non-interest expenses for 2007 increased 10.2% to $29,477,000 from $26,746,000 in 2006. The 2006 non-interest expense was up 14.3% over non-interest expenses in 2005 which totaled $23,407,000. The increase in non-interest expenses in 2007 resulted primarily from increases in employee salaries and related benefits due to salary and benefit increases and an increase in the number of employees necessary to support the Company’s expanded operations. The number of full time equivalent employees increased to 362 at December 31, 2007 from 354 at December 31, 2006. Increases in salary, occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses were due to the Company’s growth during late 2006. Other operating expenses increased to $7,264,000 in 2007 from $6,298,000 in 2006. These expenses included advertising and marketing expenses and supplies and general operating expenses, which increased as a result of continued growth of the Company.
Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense was $6,239,000 for 2007, a decrease of $432,000 from $6,671,000 for 2006 which was down by $176,000 from the 2005 total of $6,847,000. The percentage of income tax expense to earnings before taxes was 36.3% in 2007, 38.7% in 2006 and 38.4% in 2005. The effective tax rate exceeds the statutory tax rate as a result of permanent differences related to life insurance premiums.
Earnings Per Share
The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the Company begins with the basic earnings per share plus the effect of common shares contingently issuable from stock options.
The following is a summary of components comprising basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005:

increased during 2007 as a result of an increase in deposits thus providing liquid funds to increase securities and to fund loans.
Total liabilities increased by $91,943,000 to $1,216,060,000 at December 31, 2007 compared to $1,124,117,000 at December 31, 2006. This increase was composed primarily of the $95,861,000 increase in total deposits to $1,182,590,000, an 8.8% increase. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased to $15,470,000 from $17,092,000 at the respective year ends 2007 and 2006 and securities sold under repurchase agreements decreased to $9,771,000 from $13,394,000 at the respective year ends 2007 and 2006.
Shareholders’ equity increased $12,017,000, or 11.3%, due to net earnings and the issuance of stock pursuant to the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, offset by dividends paid on the Company’s common stock, and the exercising of stock options. The increase includes a $1,049,000 decrease in net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, net of taxes. A more detailed discussion of assets, liabilities and capital follows.

Loans are the largest component of the Company’s assets and are its primary source of income. The Company’s loan portfolio, net of allowance for possible loan losses, increased 12.2% as of year end 2007 when compared to year end 2006. The loan portfolio is composed of four primary loan categories: commercial, financial and agricultural; installment; real estate-mortgage; and real estate-construction. The table above sets forth the loan categories and the percentage of such loans in the portfolio at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
As represented in the table, primary loan growth was in real estate mortgage loans and commercial, financial and agricultural loans. Real estate mortgage loans increased 10.8% in 2007 and comprised 48.8% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2007, compared to 49.3% at December 31, 2006. The reduction in real estate mortgage loans as a percentage of total loans was the product of an increase of $32.9 million in real estate construction loans which comprised 10.0% of the Company’s total loans at December 31, 2007, up from 7.5% at December 31, 2006. Management believes the increase in real estate mortgage loans was primarily due to the continued favorable interest rate environment, favorable population growth in the Company’s market areas, and the Company’s ability to increase its market share of such loans while maintaining its loan underwriting standards. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans increased 11.9% in 2007 and comprised 33.8% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2007, compared to 33.9% at December 31, 2006.
Banking regulators define highly leveraged transactions to include leveraged buy-outs, acquisition loans and recapitalization loans of an existing business. Under the regulatory definition, at December 31, 2007, the Company had no highly leveraged transactions, and there were no foreign loans outstanding during any of the reporting periods.
Non-performing loans, which include non-accrual loans, loans 90 days past due and renegotiated loans totaled $4,293,000 at December 31, 2007, a decrease from $5,303,000 at December 31, 2006, resulting from the charge off of loans as a result of the previously described the ongoing review of a former loan officer’s portfolio. Non-accrual loans are loans on which interest is no longer accrued because management believes collection of such interest is doubtful due to management’s evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, collateral liquidation value,

economic and business conditions and other factors affecting the borrower’s ability to pay. Non-accrual loans totaled $2,167,000 at December 31, 2007 compared to $1,360,000 at December 31, 2006. The increase in non-accrual loans is primarily related to the ongoing loan review examination described above and one large loan that was placed on non-accrual. Loans 90 days past due, as a component of non-performing loans, decreased to $2,126,000 at December 31, 2007 from $3,943,000 at December 31, 2006. This decrease is primarily a result of decreases in real estate mortgage loans and commercial, financial and agriculture that are 90 days past due. The Company had no renegotiated loans, which would have been included in non-performing loans at December 31, 2007.
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” and SFAS No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosures”. These pronouncements apply to impaired loans except for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment including credit card, residential mortgage, and consumer installment loans.
A loan is impaired when the current net worth and financial capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any, is viewed as inadequate and it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. In those cases, such loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and if such deficiencies are not corrected, there is a probability that the Company will sustain some loss. In such cases, interest income continues to accrue as long as the loan does not meet the Company’s criteria for nonaccrual status. Impaired loans are measured at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company shall recognize an impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses or by adjusting an existing valuation allowance for the impaired loan with a corresponding charge or credit to the provision for loan losses.
The Company considers all loans subject to the provisions of SFAS Nos.114 and 118 that are on nonaccrual status to be impaired. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when doubt as to timely collection of principal or interest exists, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more unless such loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. Delays or shortfalls in loan payments are evaluated with various other factors to determine if a loan is impaired. Generally, delinquencies under 90 days are considered insignificant unless certain other factors are present which indicate impairment is probable. The decision to place a loan on nonaccrual status is also based on an evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, collateral, liquidation value, and other factors that affect the borrower’s ability to pay.
The Company also internally classifies loans about which management questions the borrower’s ability to comply with the present repayment terms of the loan agreement. These internally classified loans totaled $7,980,000, excluding non-performing loans, at December 31, 2007 as compared to $12,283,000 at December 31, 2006. Of the internally classified loans at December 31, 2007, $5,135,000 are real estate related loans and $2,845,000 are various other types of loans. The internally classified loans as a percentage of the allowance for possible loan losses were 84.2% and 120.3%, respectively, at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
The allowance for possible loan losses is discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies” and “Provision for Possible Loan Losses.” The Company maintains its allowance for possible loan losses at an amount believed by management to be adequate to provide for the possibility of loan losses in the loan portfolio.
Essentially all of the Company’s loans were from Wilson, DeKalb, Smith, Trousdale, Davidson, Rutherford and adjacent counties. The Company seeks to exercise prudent risk management in lending, including diversification by loan category and industry segment as well as by identification of credit risks. At December 31, 2007, no single industry segment accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s portfolio other than real estate loans.
The Company’s management believes there is an opportunity to continue to increase the loan portfolio in the Company’s primary market area which was expanded to include eastern Davidson County, Tennessee in 1999 and

Rutherford County, Tennessee in 2004. The Company has targeted commercial business lending, commercial and residential real estate lending and consumer lending. Although it is the Company’s objective to achieve a loan portfolio equal to approximately 85% of deposit balances, various factors, including demand for loans which meet its underwriting standards, will likely determine the size of the loan portfolio in a given economic climate. This loan demand is reflected in the past two years when the Company’s average loan to average deposit ratio was 81.4% and 86.1% for the year ended 2007 and 2006, respectively, despite significant deposit growth. As a practice, the Company generates its own loans and does not buy participations from other institutions. The Company may sell some of the loans it generates to other financial institutions if the transaction profits the Company and improves the liquidity of the loan portfolio or if the size of the loan exceeds the Company’s lending limits.
Securities
Securities increased 21.5% to $223,381,000 at year-end 2007 from $183,830,000 at December 31, 2006, and comprised the second largest and other primary component of the Company’s earning assets. This increase followed a 19.5% securities portfolio increase from year end 2005 to 2006. The primary increase in the Company’s securities portfolio was in U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government agencies which increased $40,002,000, or 24.1%, in 2007. This increase was attributed to a strong growth in deposits, providing liquidity to fund loans and securities. The average yield of the securities portfolio at December 31, 2007 was 4.05% with an average maturity of 7.7 years, as compared to an average yield of 4.39% and an average maturity of 4.2 years at December 31, 2006.
The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, securities are to be classified in three categories and accounted for as follows:
  Debt securities that the enterprise has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost.
 
  Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.
 
  Debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity.
The Company’s classification of securities as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 is as follows:
                                 
    December 31, 2007     December 31, 2007

The impaired securities are considered high quality investments in line with normal industry investing practices. The unrealized losses are primarily the result of changes in the interest rate and sector environments. Consistent with the original classification, as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities, the Company intends and has the ability to hold the above securities until maturity or a market price recovery, and as such the impairment of these securities is not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
Deposits
The increases in assets in 2007 and 2006 were funded primarily by increases in deposits. Total deposits, which are the principal source of funds for the Company, totaled $1,182,590,000 at December 31, 2007 compared to $1,086,729,000 and $929,589,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company has targeted local consumers, professionals and small businesses as its central clientele; therefore, deposit instruments in the form of demand deposits, savings accounts, money market demand accounts, certificates of deposits and individual retirement accounts are offered to customers. Management believes the Wilson County, Davidson County, DeKalb County, Smith County, Rutherford County and Trousdale County areas are growing economic markets offering growth opportunities for the Company; however, the Company competes with several larger bank holding companies that have bank offices in these counties and, therefore, no assurances of market growth or maintenance of current market share can be given. Even though the Company is in a very competitive market, management currently believes that its market share can be maintained or expanded.

 


 

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The $95,861,000, or 8.8%, growth in deposits in 2007 reflected increases in several deposit categories. Total certificates of deposit (including individual retirement accounts) increased $70,373,000, or 11.3%, to $695,401,000, while NOW accounts increased $64,259,000, or 69.7%, to $156,410,000. Offsetting some of this growth and reflecting higher rates paid on time deposits during the first nine months of 2007 was a decrease in money market accounts of $21,375,000, or 9.9%, to $156,410,000 and a decrease in demand deposit accounts of $21,015,000, or 17.7%, to $97,805,000. The average rate paid on average total interest-bearing deposits was 4.3% for 2007, compared to 3.6% for 2006. The average rate paid in 2005 was 2.8%. Competitive pressure from other banks in our market area relating to deposit pricing continues to adversely affect the rates paid on deposit accounts as does the shift to longer term deposit accounts, which earn interest at higher rates. The ratio of average loans to average deposits was 81.4% in 2007 and 86.1% in 2006 and 2005. The Company anticipates that during 2008 deposits will shift from longer term time deposits to interest bearing money markets and savings accounts due to the recent rate changes in the first month on 2008 and the anticipated additional rate decreases during the first half of 2008.
Contractual Obligations
The Company has the following contractual obligations as of December 31, 2007:

Long-term debt contractual obligations consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company leases land for certain branch facilities and automatic teller machine locations. Future minimum rental payments required under the terms of these non cancellable leases are included in operating lease obligations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
At December 31, 2007, the Company had unfunded loan commitments outstanding $12.0 million, unfunded lines of credit of $162.0 million and outstanding standby letters of credit of $20.1 million. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. If needed to fund these outstanding commitments, the Company’s bank subsidiary has the ability to liquidate Federal funds sold or securities available-for-sale or on a short-term basis to borrow and purchase Federal funds from other financial institutions. Additionally, the Company’s bank subsidiary could sell participations in these or other loans to correspondent banks. As mentioned below, the Company’s bank subsidiary has been able to fund its ongoing liquidity needs through its stable core deposit base, loan payments, investment security maturities and short-term borrowings.
Liquidity and Asset Management
The Company’s management seeks to maximize net interest income by managing the Company’s assets and liabilities within appropriate constraints on capital, liquidity and interest rate risk. Liquidity is the ability to maintain sufficient cash levels necessary to fund operations, meet the requirements of depositors and borrowers and fund

attractive investment opportunities. Higher levels of liquidity bear corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields on short-term, more liquid earning assets and higher interest expense associated with extending liability maturities. Liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents and investment securities and money market instruments that will mature within one year. At December 31, 2007, the Company’s liquid assets totaled approximately $160.9 million.
The Company maintains a formal asset and liability management process to quantify, monitor and control interest rate risk, and to assist management in maintaining stability in the net interest margin under varying interest rate environments. The Company accomplishes this process through the development and implementation of lending, funding and pricing strategies designed to maximize net interest income under varying interest rate environments subject to specific liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines.
Analysis of rate sensitivity and rate gap analysis are the primary tools used to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. Included in the analysis are cash flows and maturities of financial instruments held for purposes other than trading, changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing and deposit volume and mix. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, as a result, net interest income can not be precisely estimated nor can the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income be precisely predicted. Actual results will differ due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management’s strategies, among other factors.
The Company’s primary source of liquidity is a stable core deposit base. In addition, short-term borrowings, loan payments and investment security maturities provide a secondary source. At December 31, 2007, the Company had a liability sensitive position (a negative gap) for 2008. Liability sensitivity means that more of the Company’s liabilities are capable of re-pricing over certain time frames than its assets. The interest rates associated with these liabilities may not actually change over this period but are capable of changing.
Interest rate risk (sensitivity) 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/interest rate risk management. The Company’s rate sensitivity position has an important impact on earnings. Senior management of the Company meets monthly to analyze the rate sensitivity position. These meetings focus on the spread between the cost of funds and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments.
The Company’s securities portfolio consists of earning assets that provide interest income. For those securities classified as held-to-maturity, the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity or on a long-term basis. Securities classified as available-for-sale include securities intended to be used as part of the Company’s asset/liability strategy and/or securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rate, prepayment risk, the need or desire to increase capital and similar economic factors. At December 31, 2007, securities totaling approximately $26 million mature or will be subject to rate adjustments within the next twelve months.
A secondary source of liquidity is the Company’s loan portfolio. At December 31, 2007, loans totaling approximately $329 million either will become due or will be subject to rate adjustments within twelve months from that date. Continued emphasis will be placed on structuring adjustable rate loans.
As for liabilities, certificates of deposit of $100,000 or greater totaling approximately $286 million will become due or reprice during the next twelve months. Historically, there has been no significant reduction in immediately withdrawable accounts such as negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, money market demand accounts, demand deposit and regular savings. Management anticipates that there will be no significant withdrawals from these accounts in the future.

The Company also uses a simulation modeling to evaluate both the level of interest rate sensitivity as well as potential balance sheet strategies. Senior management meets quarterly to analyze the interest rate shock simulation. The interest rate simulation model is based on a number of assumptions. The assumptions relate primarily to loan and deposit growth, asset and liability prepayments, the call features of investment securities, interest rates and balance sheet management strategies. As of December 31, 2007, a -200 basis point rate shock was forecast to increase net earnings an estimated $228,000, or 1.85%, over the next twelve months, as compared to rates remaining stable. In addition, the -200 basis point rate shock is estimated to decrease the volatility of equity capital by 2.5%. A +200 basis point rate shock is estimated to decrease net earnings approximately $596,000, or 4.7%, over the next twelve months and would decrease the volatility of equity capital by 9.8%.
At the present time there are no known trends or any known commitments, demands, events or uncertainties that will result in, or that are reasonably likely to result in, the Company’s liquidity changing in any material way.

Capital Resources, Capital Position and Dividends
Capital
At December 31, 2007, total shareholders’ equity was $118,185,000, or 8.9% of total assets, which compares with $106,168,000, or 8.6% of total assets, at December 31, 2006, and $95,110,000, or 9.0% of total assets, at December 31, 2005. The dollar increase in shareholders’ equity during 2007 reflects (i) the Company’s net income of $10,936,000 less cash dividends of $.34 per share totaling $2,306,000, (ii) the issuance of 53,518 shares of common stock for $2,114,000, as reinvestment of cash dividends, (iii) the issuance of 16,107 shares of common stock pursuant to exercise of stock options for $203,000, (iv) the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities of $1,049,000, and (v) a stock based compensation expense of $21,000. In addition the Company’s Board of Directors approved a four for three stock split paid on May 31, 2007 to shareholders of record as of May 7, 2007. Pursuant to this split, 1,724,425 shares of stock were issued. All share and per share data have been restated to reflect this four for three stock split.
The Company’s principal regulators have established minimum risk-based capital requirements and leverage capital requirements for the Company and its subsidiary bank. These guidelines classify capital into two categories of Tier I and Total risk-based capital. Total risk-based capital consists of Tier I (or core) capital (essentially common equity less intangible assets) and Tier II capital (essentially qualifying long-term debt, of which the Company and its subsidiary bank have none, and a part of the allowance for possible loan losses). In determining risk-based capital requirements, assets are assigned risk-weights of 0% to 100%, depending on regulatory assigned levels of credit risk associated with such assets. The risk-based capital guidelines require the subsidiary bank and the Company to have a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% and a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.0%. Set forth below is the Company’s and the bank subsidiary’s capital ratios as of December 31, 2007 and 2006. Institutions which have a Tier I leverage capital ratio of 5%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 5% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% are defined as “well capitalized”. Management believes it can adequately capitalize its growth for the next few years with retained earnings and dividends reinvested.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company’s primary component of market risk 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 Company’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 Company’s operations, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk.
Interest rate risk (sensitivity) 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/interest rate risk management. The Company’s rate sensitivity position has an important impact on earnings. Senior management of the Company meets monthly to analyze the rate sensitivity position. These meetings focus on the spread between the cost of funds and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments. The following table provides information about the Company’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2007.

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Supervision and Regulation
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “Act”), and the regulations adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Board”) under the Act. The Company is required to file reports with, and is subject to examination by, the Board. Wilson Bank is a Tennessee state chartered nonmember bank, and is therefore subject to the supervision of and is regularly examined by the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (the “TDFI”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).
Under the Act, a bank holding company may not directly or indirectly acquire the ownership or control of more than five percent of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any company, including a bank, without the prior approval of the Board. In addition, bank holding companies are generally prohibited under the Act from engaging in non-banking activities, subject to certain exceptions. Under the Act, the Board is authorized to approve the ownership by a bank holding company of shares of any company whose activities have been determined by the Board to be so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
In November, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”) became law. Under the GLB Act, a “financial holding company” may engage in activities the Board determines to be financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity or complementary to a financial activity and not a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system. Generally, such companies may engage in a wide range of securities activities and insurance underwriting and agency activities The Company has not sought “financial holding company” status.
Under the Tennessee Bank Structure Act, a bank holding company which controls 30% or more of the total deposits (excluding certain deposits) in all federally insured financial institutions in Tennessee is prohibited from acquiring any bank in Tennessee. State banks and national banks in Tennessee may establish branches anywhere in the state and generally may branch across state lines either through interstate merger or branch acquisition, provided the other state’s law affords reciprocity.
The Company and Wilson Bank are subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, respectively, on any extensions of credit to the Company or Wilson Bank, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company or Wilson Bank, and on taking such stock or other securities as collateral for loans of any borrower.
Under the Tennessee Banking Act, approval of the Commission of Financial Institutions is required for declaration of any dividends by Wilson Bank to the Company in excess of net income in the calendar year of declaration plus retained net income for the preceding two years.
FDICIA. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”), the federal banking regulators have assigned each insured institution to one of five categories (“well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized” or one of three under capitalized categories) based upon the three measures of capital adequacy discussed above (see “Capital Resources, Capital Position and Dividends”). Institutions which have a Tier I leverage capital ratio of 5%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 5% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% are defined as “well capitalized”. All institutions, regardless of their capital levels, are restricted from making any capital distribution or paying any management fees that would cause the institution to fail to satisfy the minimum levels for any of its capital requirements for “adequately capitalized” status. Wilson Bank currently meets the requirement for “well capitalized”.
An institution that fails to meet the minimum level for any relevant capital measure (an “undercapitalized institution”) may be: (i) subject to increased monitoring by the appropriate federal banking regulator; (ii) required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan within 45 days (which must be guaranteed by the institution’s holding company); (iii) subject to asset growth limits; and (iv) required to obtain prior regulatory approval for acquisitions, branching and new lines of businesses. The bank regulatory agencies have discretionary authority to reclassify a “well capitalized” institution as “adequately capitalized” or to impose on an “adequately capitalized” institution

requirements or actions specified for undercapitalized institutions if the agency determines that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or is engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice.
A “significantly undercapitalized” institution may be subject to a number of additional requirements and restrictions, including (1) orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become “adequately capitalized,” (2) requirements to reduce total assets and (3) cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. “Critically undercapitalized” institutions are subject to the appointment of a receiver or conservator.
Under FDICIA, bank regulatory agencies have prescribed safety and soundness guidelines for all insured depository institutions relating to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, asset quality, earnings and compensation. Wilson Bank is assessed quarterly at the rate of .001395% of insured deposits for deposit insurance. Management is not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if implemented, would have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources or operations.
Monetary Policy. Wilson Bank is affected by commercial bank credit policies of regulatory authorities, including the Board. An important function of the Board is to regulate the national supply of bank credit in order to attempt to combat recessionary and curb inflationary pressures. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Board to implement these objectives are open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in discount rates on member borrowings, changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits and limitations on interest rates which member banks may pay on time and savings deposits. The monetary policies of the Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks, including nonmembers (such as the Company’s bank subsidiary as well as members, in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.
Impact of Inflation
Although interest rates are significantly affected by inflation, the inflation rate is believed to be immaterial when reviewing the Company’s results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 115-1 and 124-1 (“FSP 115-1”) which codified existing guidance addressing the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary and the measurement of an impairment loss. FSP 115-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in FSP 115-1 amends SFAS No. 115, SFAS No. 124 and APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”. FSP 115-1 is effective for 2006. The Company has considered FSP 115-1 in its testing for other-than-temporary impairment.
On June 1, 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”), a replacement of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. In the absence of specific transition requirements to the contrary in the adoption of an accounting principle, SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable for comparability and consistency of financial information between periods. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning in 2006.
On March 17, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS No. 156 requires that all servicing assets and liabilities be initially measured at fair value and allows for two alternatives in the subsequent accounting for servicing assets and liabilities: the amortization method

 


 

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
and the fair value method. The amortization method requires that the servicing assets and liabilities be amortized over the remaining estimated lives of the serviced assets with impairment testing to be performed periodically. The fair value method requires the servicing assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value each period with an offset to income. SFAS No. 156 is to be adopted in the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. An entity can elect the fair value method at the beginning of any fiscal year provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, for any period of that fiscal year. However, once the fair value election is made, an entity cannot revert back to the amortization method. The Company has determined that there is no impact to the Company relating to SFAS No. 156.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurement” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. It clarifies the principal that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participation would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted process in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data, Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently reviewing the potential impact of this SFAS No. 157.
In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached regarding EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“Issue 06-4”), which provides accounting guidance for postretirement benefits related to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements, whereby the employer owns and controls the insurance policies. The consensus concludes that an employer should recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit in accordance with SFAS No. 106, “Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” (“SFAS No. 106”) or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 (“APB 12”). In addition, the consensus states that an employer should also recognize an asset based on the substance of the arrangement with the employee. Issue 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 with early application permitted.
In March 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus the EITF reached regarding EITF Issue No. 06-10, “Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“Issue 06-10”), which provides accounting guidance for postretirement benefits related to collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements, whereby the employee owns and controls the insurance policies. The consensus concludes that an employer should recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit in accordance with SFAS No. 106 or APB 12, as well as recognize an asset based on the substance of the arrangement with the employee. Issue 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 with early application permitted.
In February 2006, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance - - Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance” (EITF 06-5). EITF 06-5 provides that in addition to cash surrender value, the assets recognized for a life insurance contract should consider certain other provisions included in a policy’s contractual terms with additional amounts being discounted if receivable beyond one year. Additionally, EITF 06-5 requires that the determination of the amount that could be realized under an insurance contract be performed at the individual policy level. The Company has determined there is no impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure financial assets and financial liabilities (as well as certain nonfinancial instruments that are similar to

 


 

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
financial instruments) at fair value (the “fair value option”). The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, SFAS No. 159 specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007 and earlier adoption is permitted. At the present time, management does not intend to make any fair value elections.
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB No. 108”). SAB 108 requires that registrants assess the impact on both the statement of condition and the statement of income when quantifying and evaluating the materiality of a misstatement. Under SAB No. 108, adjustment of financial statements is required when either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that is material to a reporting period presented within the financial statements, after considering all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors.

(With Independent Auditor’s Report Thereon)

 


 

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
The Board of Directors
Wilson Bank Holding Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wilson Bank Holding Company and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive earnings, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 consolidated financial position of Wilson Bank Holding Company and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated January 11, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    The accounting and reporting policies of Wilson Bank Holding Company and Wilson Bank & Trust (“the Company”) are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a brief summary of the significant policies.
  (a)   Principles of Consolidation
 
      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Wilson Bank & Trust (“Wilson Bank”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Prior to March 31, 2005, the Company owned a 50% interest in DeKalb Community Bank and Community Bank of Smith County. On March 31, 2005, the Company acquired the minority interest in the subsidiaries by issuing Wilson Bank Holding Company stock to the minority shareholders. The two subsidiary banks were merged into Wilson Bank & Trust. Prior to March 31, 2005, these two 50% owned subsidiaries were included in the consolidated financial statements.
 
  (b)   Nature of Operations
 
      Wilson Bank operates under a state bank charter and provides full banking services. As a state bank, the subsidiary bank is subject to regulations of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The areas served by Wilson Bank include Wilson County, DeKalb County, Rutherford County, Smith County, Trousdale County, and eastern Davidson County, Tennessee and surrounding counties in Middle Tennessee. Services are provided at the main office and twenty branch locations.
 
  (c)   Estimates
 
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of debt and equity securities and the related deferred taxes.

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005
(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
  (d)   Loans
 
      Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Unearned discount, deferred loan fees net of loan acquisition costs, and the allowance for loan losses are shown as reductions of loans. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain loan-related costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield over the contractual life of the loan. Unearned discount represents the unamortized amount of finance charges, principally related to certain installment loans. Interest income on most loans is accrued based on the principal amount outstanding.
 
      The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” (“SFAS No. 114”) and SFAS No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan — Income Recognition and Disclosures” (“SFAS No. 118”). These pronouncements apply to impaired loans except for large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment including residential mortgage and installment loans.
 
      A loan is impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company shall recognize an impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses or by adjusting an existing valuation allowance for the impaired loan with a corresponding charge or credit to the provision for possible loan losses.
 
      The Company’s installment loans are divided into various groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and, thus, are not subject to the provisions of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118. Substantially all other loans of the Company are evaluated for impairment under the provisions of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118.
 
      The Company considers all loans on nonaccrual status that are subject to the provisions of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118 to be impaired. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when doubt as to timely collection of principal or interest exists, or when principal or interest is past due 90 days or more unless such loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. Past due status of loans is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Delays or shortfalls in loan payments are evaluated along with various other factors to determine if a loan is impaired. Generally, delinquencies under 90 days are considered

      insignificant unless certain other factors are present which indicate impairment is probable. The decision to place a loan on nonaccrual status is also based on an evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, collateral, liquidation value, and other factors that affect the borrower’s ability to pay.
 
      Generally, at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest accrued and uncollected on the loan in the current fiscal year is reversed from income, and all interest accrued and uncollected from the prior year is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Thereafter, interest on nonaccrual loans is recognized as interest income only to the extent that cash is received and future collection of principal is not in doubt. If the collectibility of outstanding principal is doubtful, such cash received is applied as a reduction of principal. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to an accruing status when principal and interest are no longer past due and unpaid and future collection of principal and interest on a timely basis is not in doubt.
 
      Loans not on nonaccrual status are classified as impaired in certain cases when there is inadequate protection by the current net worth and financial capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. In those cases, such loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and if such deficiencies are not corrected, there is a probability that the Company will sustain some loss. In such cases, interest income continues to accrue as long as the loan does not meet the Company’s criteria for nonaccrual status.
 
      Generally, the Company also classifies as impaired any loans the terms of which have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Interest is generally accrued on such loans that continue to meet the modified terms of their loan agreements.
 
      The Company’s charge-off policy for impaired loans is similar to its charge-off policy for all loans in that loans are charged off in the month when they are considered uncollectible.
 
  (e)   Allowance for Loan Losses
 
      The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary, after loan charge-offs and recoveries, to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level which is adequate to absorb estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Such estimated losses arise primarily from the loan portfolio but may also be derived from other sources, including commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The level of the allowance is determined on a monthly basis using procedures which include: (1) categorizing commercial and commercial real estate loans into risk categories to estimate loss probabilities based primarily on the historical loss experience of those risk

      categories and current economic conditions; (2) analyzing significant commercial and commercial real estate credits and calculating specific reserves as necessary; (3) assessing various homogeneous consumer loan categories to estimate loss probabilities based primarily on historical loss experience; (4) reviewing unfunded commitments; and (5) considering various other factors, such as changes in credit concentrations, loan mix, and economic conditions which may not be specifically quantified in the loan analysis process.
 
      The allowance for loan losses consists of an allocated portion and an unallocated, or general, portion. The allocated portion is maintained to cover estimated losses applicable to specific segments of the loan portfolio. The unallocated portion is maintained to absorb losses which probably exist as of the evaluation date but are not identified by the more objective processes used for the allocated portion of the allowance due to risk of errors or imprecision. While the total allowance consists of an allocated portion and an unallocated portion, these terms are primarily used to describe a process. Both portions of the allowance are available to provide for inherent loss in the entire portfolio.
 
      The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to expense and is reduced by loans charged off net of recoveries on loans previously charged off. The provision is based on management’s determination of the amount of the allowance necessary to provide for estimated loan losses based on its evaluation of the loan portfolio. Determining the appropriate level of the allowance and the amount of the provision involves uncertainties and matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.
 
  (f)   Debt and Equity Securities
 
      The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, securities are classified in three categories and accounted for as follows:
    Securities Held-to-Maturity
 
      Debt securities that the enterprise has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized by the interest method.

  (f)   Debt and Equity Securities, Continued
    Trading Securities
 
      Debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.
 
    Securities Available-for-Sale
 
      Debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Premiums and discounts are recognized by the interest method.
      No securities have been classified as trading securities.
 
      Realized gains or losses from the sale of debt and equity securities are recognized based upon the specific identification method.
 
  (g)   Loans Held for Sale
 
      Mortgage loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market value determined by outstanding commitments from investors at the balance sheet date. These loans are valued on an aggregate basis.
 
  (h)   Premises and Equipment
 
      Premises and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Gain or loss on items retired and otherwise disposed of is credited or charged to operations and cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts.
 
      Expenditures for major renewals and improvements of premises and equipment are capitalized and those for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred.

  (i)   Intangible Assets
 
      SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”) requires that management determine the allocation of intangible assets into identifiable groups at the date of acquisition and appropriate amortization periods be established. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not to be amortized; rather, it is to be monitored for impairment and written down to the impairment value at the time impairment occurs. The Company has determined that no impairment loss needs to be recognized related to the goodwill.
 
  (j)   Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
      For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and Federal funds sold. Generally, Federal funds sold are purchased and sold for one-day periods. Management makes deposits only with financial institutions it considers to be financially sound.
 
  (k)   Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
 
      Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not covered by Federal deposit insurance.
 
  (l)   Long-Term Assets
 
      Premises and equipment, intangible assets, and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
 
  (m)   Income Taxes
 
      Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities) and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax asset and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

  (m)   Income Taxes, Continued
 
      The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary file consolidated Federal and State income tax returns. The 50% owned subsidiaries filed separate Federal income tax returns for the three months prior to the merger. Each entity provides for income taxes on a separate-return basis.
 
  (n)   Stock Options
 
      In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”). The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) in March 2005 to assist preparers by simplifying some of the implementation challenges of SFAS No. 123R while enhancing the information investors receive. The FASB has also issued various Staff Positions clarifying certain provisions of the new accounting standard. SFAS No. 123R addresses all forms of share-based payment awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123R requires the Company to expense share-based payment awards with compensation cost measured at the fair value of the award. In addition, SFAS No. 123R requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than an operating cash flow. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R under the modified prospective method.
 
      Under the modified prospective method, the accounting standards of SFAS No. 123R have been applied as of January 1, 2006 and the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS No. 123R. See note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for more information.
 
      Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings during 2007 and 2006 included compensation expense for stock-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006 and for the stock-based awards granted after January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying statements of earnings for 2007 and 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. For 2005 the impact of stock-based compensation expense is disclosed on a proforma basis. (See note 19 to the consolidated financial statements).

  (n)   Stock Options, Continued
 
      The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (“BS”) that uses the following assumptions. Expected volatility is based on implied volatility from comparable publicly traded banks. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the average of: (1) the weighted average vesting term and (2) original contractual term as permitted under SAB 107. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant and the weighted average expected life of the grant.
 
  (o)   Stock Split
 
      The Company’s Board of Directors voted a 4 for 3 stock split for stockholders of record as of May 7, 2007 payable May 31, 2007. Each stockholder received four (4) shares of common stock for each three (3) shares owned with no allowance for fractional shares. Per share data included in these consolidated financial statements has been restated to give effect to the stock split.
 
  (p)   Advertising Costs
 
      Advertising costs are expensed when incurred by the Company.
 
  (q)   Other Real Estate
 
      Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is initially recorded at the lower of cost (loan value of real estate acquired in settlement of loans plus incidental expense) or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Based on periodic evaluations by management, the carrying values are reduced by a direct charge to earnings when they exceed net realizable value. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized, while holding costs of the property are charged to expense in the period incurred.
 
  (r)   Reclassifications
 
      Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 and 2005 figures to conform to the presentation for 2007.

  (s)   Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
 
      In the ordinary course of business Wilson Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received.
 
  (t)   Impact of New Accounting Standards
 
      On June 30, 2005, the FASB issued an exposure draft “Business Combinations — a replacement of FASB Statement No. 141 (“Statement 141 Revised”). Statement 141 Revised would require the acquirer to measure the fair value of the acquiree, as a whole, as of the acquisition date as opposed to the definitive agreement date. The proposal also requires that contingent consideration be estimated and recorded at the acquisition which is in conflict with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies” (“SFAS No. 5”). SFAS No. 5 would be amended for this exception. Acquisition related costs incurred in connection with the business combination would generally be expensed.
 
      Statement 141 Revised would require the acquirer in a business combination in which the acquisition-date fair value of the acquirer’s interest in the acquiree exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred for that interest (referred to as a bargain purchase) to account for that excess by first reducing the goodwill related to that business combination to zero, and then by recognizing any excess in income. SFAS No. 141 requires that excess to be allocated as a pro rata reduction of the amounts that would have been assigned to particular assets acquired. Statement 141 Revised is expected to be effective for acquisitions after January 1, 2007.
 
      On June 19, 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued an exposure draft on a Proposed Statement of Position (“SOP”) on Allowance for Credit Losses. If approved, the proposed SOP would significantly change the way the allowance for possible loan losses is calculated. Under the proposed SOP, any loans determined to be impaired, as defined in SFAS No. 114, would be assigned a specific reserve based on facts and circumstances surrounding the particular loan and no loss percentage would be assigned. If a loan is determined not to be impaired, it would be assigned to a pool of similar homogeneous loans. A loss percentage would then be assigned to the pool based on historical charge-offs adjusted for internal or external factors such as the economy, changes in underwriting standards, etc. Management has not yet determined the impact this proposed SOP would have on their consolidated financial statements, but anticipates that it could result in a reduction in the allowance for possible loan losses. Under the Proposal, any changes resulting from the initial application of this proposed SOP would be treated as a change in accounting estimate.

      In November, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 115-1 and 124-1 (“FSP 115-1”) which codified existing guidance addressing the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary and the measurement of an impairment loss. FSP 115-1 also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in FSP 115-1 amends SFAS No. 115, SFAS No. 124 and APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”. FSP 115-1 is effective for 2006. The Company has considered FSP 115-1 in its testing for other-than-temporary impairment.
 
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, which requires recognition of expense over the requisite service period for awards of share-based compensation to employees. SFAS No. 123R was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2006. As permitted by the original SFAS No. 123 prior to January 1, 2006, the Company has accounted for its equity awards under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the grant date fair value of an award has been used to measure the compensation expense recognized for the award. For any unvested awards granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the fair values used in preparation of the disclosures required under the original SFAS No. 123 have been utilized. Compensation expense recognized after adoption of SFAS No. 123R will incorporate an estimate of awards expected to ultimately vest, which requires estimation of forfeitures as well as projections related to the satisfaction of performance conditions that determine vesting. The substance of SFAS No. 123R is to require companies to record as an expense amortization of the fair market value of stock options determined as of the grant date. The offsetting credit is to additional paid-in capital unless there is an obligation to buy back the stock or exchange other assets for the stock. If such an obligation exists the offsetting credit would be to a liability account. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R has had an impact on the Company’s results of operations for 2006 and 2007, although it has had no significant impact on the Company’s overall financial position. See note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.

      On June 1, 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS No. 154”), a replacement of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements”. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. In the absence of specific transition requirements to the contrary in the adoption of an accounting principle, SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable for comparability and consistency of financial information between periods. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning in 2006.
 
      On March 17, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS No. 156”). SFAS No. 156 requires that all servicing assets and liabilities be initially measured at fair value and allows for two alternatives in the subsequent accounting for servicing assets and liabilities: the amortization method and the fair value method. The amortization method requires that the servicing assets and liabilities be amortized over the remaining estimated lives of the serviced assets with impairment testing to be performed periodically. The fair value method requires the servicing assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value each period with an offset to income. SFAS No. 156 is to be adopted in the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 and early adoption is permitted. An entity can elect the fair value method at the beginning of any fiscal year provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including interim financial statements, for any period of that fiscal year. However, once the fair value election is made, an entity cannot revert back to the amortization method. The Company has determined that there is no impact on the consolidated financial statements of SFAS No. 156.
 
      On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. FIN 48 requires that only benefits from tax positions that are more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon examination by the IRS should be recognized in the financial statements. These benefits would be recorded at amounts considered to be the maximum amounts more-likely-than-not of being sustained. At the time these positions become “more likely than not” to be disallowed under audit, their recognition would be reversed. The Company has reviewed the potential impact of FIN 48, and has determined that it should not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements. See note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.

      On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. It clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently reviewing the potential impact of SFAS No. 157.
 
      In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached regarding EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“Issue 06-4”), which provides accounting guidance for postretirement benefits related to endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements, whereby the employer owns and controls the insurance policies. The consensus concludes that an employer should recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, “Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” (“Statement No. 106”) or Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 12 (“APB 12”). In addition, the consensus states that an employer should also recognize an asset based on the substance of the arrangement with the employee. Issue 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 with early application permitted.

      In March 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus the EITF reached regarding EITF Issue No. 06-10, “Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements” (“Issue 06-10”), which provides accounting guidance for postretirement benefits related to collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements, whereby the employee owns and controls the insurance policies. The consensus concludes that an employer should recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit in accordance with Statement 106 or APB 12, as well as recognize an asset based on the substance of the arrangement with the employee. Issue 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 with early application permitted.
 
      In February 2006, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance — Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance” (EITF 06-5). EITF 06-5 provides that in addition to cash surrender value, the assets recognized for a life insurance contract should consider certain other provisions included in a policy’s contractual terms with additional amounts being discounted if receivable beyond one year. Additionally, EITF 06-5 requires that the determination of the amount that could be realized under an insurance contract be performed at the individual policy level. The Company has determined there is no impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.
 
      In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“Statement 159”). Statement 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure financial assets and financial liabilities (as well as certain nonfinancial instruments that are similar to financial instruments) at fair value (the “fair value option”). The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, Statement 159 specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument be reported in earnings. Statement 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007 and earlier adoption is permitted. At the present time, management does not intend to make any fair value elections.
 
      In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB No. 108). SAB 108 requires that registrants assess the impact on both the statement of condition and the statement of income when quantifying and evaluating the materiality of a misstatement. Under SAB No. 108, adjustment of financial statements is required when either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that is material to a reporting period presented within the financial statements, after considering all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors.

    2007   2006
Recorded investment
  $ 2,167       1,360

  $ 313       277  
    Of the $2,167,000 impaired loans at December 31, 2007, the Company has one loan totaling $1,310,000 with no related loan loss reserve. As of December 31, 2006, there were no impaired loans without a related loan loss reserve.
 
    The average recorded investment in impaired loans for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $2,630,000, $650,000 and $369,000, respectively. The Company did not recognize any interest income on the accrued basis on these loans for the period that such loans were impaired during 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
    In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company originated and sold loans in the secondary market of $87,448,000, $92,650,000 and $74,685,000, respectively. The gain on sale of these loans totaled $280,000, $451,000 and $405,000 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
    Of the loans sold in the secondary market, the recourse to Wilson Bank is limited. On loans sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Wilson Bank has a recourse obligation for one year from the purchase date. At December 31, 2007, there were no loans sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation with existing recourse. All other loans sold in the secondary market provide the purchaser recourse to Wilson Bank for a period of 90 days from the date of purchase and only in the event of a default by the borrower pursuant to the terms of the individual loan agreement. At December 31, 2007, total loans sold with recourse to Wilson Bank, including those sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, aggregated $65,693,000. At December 31, 2007, Wilson Bank had not been required to repurchase any of the loans originated by Wilson Bank and sold in the secondary market. Management expects no loss to result from these recourse provisions.

(3)   Debt and Equity Securities, Continued
 
    The impaired securities are considered high quality investments in line with normal industry investing practices. The unrealized losses are primarily the result of changes in the interest rate and sector environments. Consistent with the original classification, as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities, the Company intends and has the ability to hold the above securities until maturity or a market price recovery, and as such the impairment of these securities is not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
 
    The Company may sell the above or other securities in the ordinary course of business in response to unexpected and significant changes in liquidity needs, unexpected and significant increases in interest rates and/or sector spreads that significantly extend the security’s holding period, or conducting a small volume of security transactions.

(11)   Income Taxes, Continued
 
    FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties” (“FIN 48”) was issued in June 2006 and defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties and includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, and determined there was no need to make an adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of this Interpretation.
 
    As of January 1, 2007, the Company has accrued no interest and no penalties related to uncertain tax positions. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
 
    The Company and its subsidiary file income tax returns in the United States (“U.S.”), as well as the State of Tennessee. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004, which would include audits of acquired entities. The Company’s Federal tax returns have been audited through December 31, 2003 with no changes.
(12)   Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
 
    The Company is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not be material to the consolidated financial position.
 
    Wilson Bank leases land for certain branch facilities and automatic teller machine locations. Future minimum rental payments required under the terms of the noncancellable leases are as follows:

The Company has lines of credit with other financial institutions totaling $45,900,000. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, there was no balance outstanding under these lines of credit.

(13)   Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
 
    The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
 
    The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Total
  $ 182,992       177,874  
 
           
    Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts generally represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral normally consists of real property.
 
    Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most guarantees extend from one to two years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The fair value of standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counter parties drawing on such financial instruments and the present creditworthiness of such counter parties. Such commitments have been made on terms which are competitive in the markets in which the Company operates; thus, the fair value of standby letters of credit equals the carrying value for the purposes of this disclosure. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under the guarantees totaled $21.0 million at December 31, 2007.

(14)   Concentration of Credit Risk
 
    Practically all of the Company’s loans, commitments, and commercial and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Company’s market area. Practically all such customers are depositors of Wilson Bank. Investment in state and municipal securities also include governmental entities within the Company’s market area. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
    At December 31, 2007, the Company’s cash and due from banks and federal funds sold included commercial bank deposits aggregating $15,652,000 in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $100,000 per institution.
 
    Federal funds sold were deposited with six banks.
 
(15)   Employee Benefit Plan
 
    Wilson Bank has in effect a 401(k) plan (the “401(k) Plan”) which covers eligible employees. To be eligible an employee must have obtained the age of 20 1/2. The provisions of the 401(k) Plan provide for both employee and employer contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, Wilson Bank contributed $1,099,000, $961,000 and $848,000, respectively, to the 401(k) Plan.
 
(16)   Dividend Reinvestment Plan
 
    Under the terms of the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) holders of common stock may elect to automatically reinvest cash dividends in additional shares of common stock. The Company may elect to sell original issue shares or to purchase shares in the open market for the account of participants. Original issue shares of 53,518 in 2007, 113,774 in 2006 and 111,914 in 2005 were sold to participants under the terms of the DRIP.
 
(17)   Regulatory Matters and Restrictions on Dividends
 
    The Company and Wilson Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments about components, risk weightings and other factors. Those qualitative judgments could also affect the subsidiary bank’s capital status and the amount of dividends the subsidiary may distribute.

(17)   Regulatory Matters and Restrictions on Dividends, Continued
 
    The Company and Wilson Bank are required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total “risk weighted” assets, as defined by the banking regulators. At December 31, 2007, the Company and its bank subsidiary are required to have minimum Tier I and total risk-based capital ratios of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively and a leverage ratio of 4%. The capital ratios required to be well-capitalized under the Prompt Corrective Action Provisions of the regulations administered by the federal banking agencies are 6%, 10% and 5%, respectively. The actual ratios of the Company and Wilson Bank were as follows:
                                 
    Wilson Bank    
    Holding Company   Wilson Bank
    2007   2006   2007   2006
Tier I ratio
    10.77 %     10.80 %     11.08 %     10.77 %
 
Total risk-based ratio
    11.67 %     11.87 %     12.08 %     11.84 %
 
Leverage ratio
    8.63 %     9.32 %     8.60 %     9.29 %
    As of December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the banking regulators categorized the Company and Wilson Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Company’s or Wilson Bank’s category.
 
(18)   Deferred Compensation Plan
 
    Wilson Bank provides its executive officers a deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”), which also provides for death and disability benefits. The Deferred Compensation Plan was established by the Board of Directors to reward executive management for past performance and to provide additional incentive to retain the service of executive management. There were ten employees participating in the Deferred Compensation Plan at December 31, 2007.
 
    The Deferred Compensation Plan provides retirement benefits for a period of 180 months after the employee reaches the age of 65. This benefit can be reduced if Wilson Bank’s average return on assets falls below 1%. The Deferred Compensation Plan also provides benefits over a period of fifteen years in the event the executive should die or become disabled prior to reaching retirement. Wilson Bank has purchased insurance policies or other assets to provide the benefits listed above. The insurance policies remain the sole property of Wilson Bank and are payable to Wilson Bank. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the deferred compensation liability totaled $1,006,000 and $879,000, respectively, the cash surrender value of life insurance was $1,334,000 and $1,231,000, respectively, and the face amount of the insurance policies in force approximated $5,358,000 and $6,075,000, respectively. The Deferred Compensation Plan is not qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(19)   Stock Option Plan
 
    In April, 1999, the stockholders of the Company approved the Wilson Bank Holding Company 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”). The Stock Option Plan provides for the granting of stock options, and authorizes the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of such options, for up to 200,000 shares of common stock, to officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Furthermore, the Company may reserve additional shares for issuance under the Stock Option Plan as needed in order that the aggregate number of shares that may be issued during the term of the Stock Option Plan is equal to five percent (5%) of the shares of common stock then issued and outstanding.
 
    Under the Stock Option Plan, stock option awards may be granted in the form of incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options and are generally exercisable for up to ten years following the date such option awards are granted. Exercise prices of incentive stock options must be equal to or greater than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.
 
    SFAS No. 123R was adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2006. This accounting standard revises SFAS No. 123 by requiring that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values at the date of grant. See additional discussion of this new accounting standard in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, “Impact of New Accounting Standards”.
 
    Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for those stock-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB No. 25 and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123; therefore, no stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005. Rather, pro forma compensation cost amounts are disclosed below. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 using the modified-prospective transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 include: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. As the modified-retrospective transition method was not selected, results for prior periods have not been restated.

(19)   Stock Option Plan, Continued
 
    The fair value of each grant is estimated on the date of grant using the BS option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2007, 2006 and 2005:
                         
    2007   2006   2005
Expected dividends
    4.78 %     4.78 %     2.00 %
Expected term (in years)
    7.75       7.75       10  
Expected volatility
    15.2 %     15.2 %     0 %
Risk-free rate
    4.32 %     4.32 %     4.23 %
    During the first quarter of 2006, the Company made refinements to the expected volatility and expected option life used in valuing stock options in conjunction with adopting SFAS No. 123R. Expected volatility was calculated at 15.2% based upon the consideration of historical and implied volatility of similar publicly traded companies. For 2005 the minimum value method permitted under SFAS No. 123 with an expected effective volatility of zero was used in the BS option pricing model. The Company lowered the expected option life based on historical results.

    The weighted average fair value at the grant date of options granted during the years 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $1.16, $1.50 and $3.87, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $311,000, $261,000 and $188,000, respectively.
 
    As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company’s earnings before income taxes and net earnings included $21,000 and $17,000 of expense that would not have been incurred if it had continued to account for share-based compensation expense under APB No. 25. Basic and diluted earnings per share were reduced by $.01 and $.01 per share by the adoption of SFAS No. 123R during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.
 
    Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 123R requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits of tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options to be classified as financing cash flows. The Company had no excess tax benefits to reflect as financing cash inflows for the three years ended December 31, 2007.

    Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006, SFAS No. 123 allowed for the choice of continuing to follow No. APB 25, and the related interpretations, or selecting the fair value method of expense recognition as described in SFAS No. 123. The Company elected to follow APB No. 25 in accounting for its employee stock options in prior periods. Proforma net earnings and net earnings per share data is presented below for the year 2005, as if the fair-value method had been applied in measuring compensation costs. Proforma amounts for the years 2007 and 2006 are not applicable based upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123R during the first quarter of 2006.

(20)   Earnings Per Share
 
    SFAS No. 128 “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”) establishes uniform standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the Company, the computation of diluted earnings per share begins with the basic earnings per share plus the effect of common shares contingently issuable from stock options. Share and per share data for 2006 and 2005 have been restated to reflect a 4 for 3 stock split effective May 7, 2007.

(22) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“SFAS No. 107”), requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments.
Cash and short-term investments
For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Securities
The carrying amounts for short-term securities approximate fair value because they mature in 90 days or less and do not present unanticipated credit concerns. The fair value of longer-term securities and mortgage-backed securities, except certain state and municipal securities, is estimated based on bid prices published in financial newspapers or bid quotations received from securities dealers. The fair value of certain state and municipal securities is not readily available through market sources other than dealer quotations, so fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued.
SFAS No. 107 specifies that fair values should be calculated based on the value of one unit without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership of a financial instrument, possible tax ramifications, or estimated transaction costs. Accordingly, these considerations have not been incorporated into the fair value estimates.
Loans
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, mortgage, credit card and other consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.

(22) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued
Loans, Continued
The fair value of the various categories 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 average estimated maturities.
The estimated maturity for mortgages is modified from the contractual terms to give consideration to management’s experience with prepayments. Management has made estimates of fair value discount rates that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no market for many of these financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether the fair value presented below would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale.
The value of the loan portfolio is also discounted in consideration of the credit quality of the loan portfolio as would be the case between willing buyers and sellers. Particular emphasis has been given to loans on Wilson Bank’s internal watch list. Valuation of these loans is based upon borrower performance, collateral values (including external appraisals), etc.
Deposit Liabilities
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. Under the provision of SFAS No. 107, the fair value estimates for deposits does not include the benefit that results from the low cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.
Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements
The securities sold under repurchase agreements are payable upon demand. For this reason the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
The fair value of the advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are estimated by discounting the future cash outflows using the current market rates.

Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees Written
Loan commitments are made to customers generally for a period not to exceed one year and at the prevailing interest rates in effect at the time the loan is closed. Commitments to extend credit related to construction loans are generally made for a period not to exceed six months with interest rates at the current market rate at the date of closing. In addition, standby letters of credit are issued for periods extending from one to two years with rates to be determined at the date the letter of credit is funded. Fees are only charged for the construction loans and the standby letters of credit, and the amounts unearned at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are insignificant. Accordingly, these commitments have no carrying value, and management estimates the commitments to have no significant fair value.
The carrying value and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

(22) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on estimating on-and-off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For example, Wilson Bank has a mortgage department that contributes net fee income annually. The mortgage department is not considered a financial instrument, and its value has not been incorporated into the fair value estimates. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include deferred tax assets and liabilities and property, plant and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.
