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. The Bank’s balance sheet includes certain tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. 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 and residential mortgage 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 one or more of the following: 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, 2008 were $11,398,000, an increase of $462,000, or 4.2%, compared to net earnings of $10,936,000 for 2007. Our 2007 net earnings were 3.4%, or $361,000, above our net earnings of $10,575,000 for 2006. Basic earnings per share were $1.63 in 2008, compared with $1.58 in 2007 and $1.56 in 2006. Diluted earnings per share were $1.62 in 2008, compared to $1.58 and $1.56 in 2006. Net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2008 was 3.54%, compared to 3.34% and 3.70% for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The increase in the net interest margin was attributable to the Company effectively working to reduce deposit rates to an appropriate level while being able to sustain the funding base.

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 2008 was $86,357,000, compared with $85,882,000 in 2007 and $70,690,000 in 2006. The increase in total interest income in 2008 was primarily attributable to the growth in loans and the increased Federal funds sold primarily attributable to the growth in deposits. The ratio of average earning assets to total average assets was 94.2%, 94.0% and 93.8% for each of the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Average earning assets increased $93.6 million from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2008, an increase of 7.7%. The average rate earned on earning assets for 2008 was 6.64%, compared with 7.11% in 2007 and 6.80% in 2006, and in 2008 was negatively impacted by the rate cuts implemented by the Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee beginning in August 2007 and described in more detail below which has resulted in extremely low short-term interest rates.
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 $370,000 in 2008, $128,000 in 2007 and $11,000 in 2006.
Total interest expense for 2008 was $40,392,000, a decrease of $5,329,000, or 11.7%, compared to total interest expense of $45,721,000 in 2007. The decrease in total interest expense was due to a decrease in rates paid on deposits reflecting the actions of the Federal Reserve Open Markets Committee to lower short term rates. Interest expense increased from $32,378,000 in 2006 to $45,721,000 in 2007, an increase of $13,343,000, or 41.2%. The increase in 2007 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.
Net interest income for 2008 totaled $45,965,000 as compared to $40,161,000 and $38,312,000 in 2007 and 2006, 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), increased to 3.15% in 2008 from 2.82% in 2007. The net interest spread was 3.2% in 2006. The increase in the net interest spread for 2008 as compared to the prior period is a result of a declining interest rate environment beginning in August 2007 and continuing through 2008. Net interest margin, which is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, increased to 3.54% for 2008 compared to 3.34% in 2007 and 3.70% in 2006. Short-term interest rates decreased during the last five months 2007 and throughout 2008 as a result of the Federal Reserve Board’s decision to lower the discount rate. From August 17, 2007 to December 31, 2008, the Federal Reserve lowered the discount rate by 500 basis points to extremely low levels. The Company believes that the Federal Reserve Board will maintain the current discount rate throughout 2009. While the Company’s liabilities are positioned to re-price 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, and the Company’s net interest margin did expand in 2008 when compared to 2007. Management regularly monitors the deposit rates of its competitors and these rates continue to put pressure on the Company’s deposit pricing. This pressure worked to limit the Company’s net interest margin improvement in 2008 and could negatively impact the Company’s net interest margin even in a future short-term falling rate environment like the one experienced in 2008. A significant increase in interest rates could have an adverse impact on net interest yields and earnings. Management believes that the improvement in net interest margin in 2009 will be slightly less than the improvement experienced in 2008.

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 2008 provision for loan losses was $6,718,000, an increase of $2,573,000 from the provision of $4,145,000 in 2007. The increase in the provision for the year ended December 31, 2008 was related to the Company’s decision to increase the provision for possible loan losses during 2008 due to an increase in loan growth and the continued weakening of economic conditions in the Company’s market areas, generally, and in the residential real estate construction and development area, specifically. The provision for loan losses was $3,806,000 in 2006. 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 decreased to $4,053,000 in 2008 from $4,881,000 in 2007. The reduction in charge-offs reflected an increase in charge-offs in 2007 of loans related to the portfolio of a former branch manager who had engaged in what appeared to be inappropriate banking procedures when documenting loans and releasing the underlying collateral. While we believe additional charge-offs will be necessary related to such portfolio, charge-offs related to this portfolio decreased in 2008 and will continue to decrease going forward. Net charge-offs in 2006 totaled $2,680,000. The ratio of net charge-offs to average total outstanding loans was 0.39% in 2008, 0.52% in 2007 and 0.32% in 2006.
The net charge-offs and provision for loan losses resulted in an increase of the allowance for loan losses (net of charge-offs and recoveries) to $12,138,000 at December 31, 2008 from $9,473,000 at December 31, 2007 and $10,209,000 at December 31, 2006. The allowance increased 28.1% at December 31, 2008 over December 31, 2007 as compared to a 9.2% increase in total loans over the same period. The allowance for loan losses was 1.11% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2008 compared to .95% at December 31, 2007 and 1.15% at December 31, 2006. As a percentage of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the allowance for loan losses represented 86%, 221% and 192%, 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, 2008 to be adequate, but if economic conditions deteriorate beyond management’s expectations and additional charge-offs are incurred, the allowance for loan losses may require an increase through additional provision for loan losses which would negatively impact our net earnings.
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 securities and other income. Total non-interest income for 2008 was $12,006,000 compared with $10,636,000 in 2007 and $9,486,000 in 2006. The 12.9% increase over 2007 was primarily due to an increase in other fees and commissions (which increased $1,550,000) and gain on sale of

 


 

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
loans (which increased $70,000). The increase in other fees and commissions was primarily due to a reclassification of income and expenses relating to debit and credit card exchange fees. Other fees and commissions include income on brokerage accounts, insurance policies sold and various other fees. Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $6,034,000 and $6,506,000 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, a decrease of $472,000, or 7.3%, after increasing $568,000, or 9.6% between December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007. The decrease in service charges on deposit accounts over 2007 reflected a reduction in insufficient fund fees resulting from the bank changing the posting of debit card transactions from delayed posting to real time balances.
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, and other operating expenses. Total non-interest expenses for 2008 increased 11.3% to $32,814,000 from $29,477,000 in 2007. The 2007 non-interest expense was up 10.2% over non-interest expenses in 2006 which totaled $26,746,000. The increase in non-interest expenses in 2008 resulted primarily from increases in employee salaries and benefits and occupancy expenses associated with the number of employees and facilities necessary to support the Company’s operations. The Bank’s FDIC insurance premium increased to $828,000 in 2008 from $129,000 in 2007 due to the implementation of the Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005. The Company expects the FDIC insurance premium to increase significantly in 2009 due to the increase in FDIC insurance coverage effective until December 31, 2009. Other operating expenses increased to $7,861,000 in 2008 from $7,264,000 in 2007. The increase in other operating expenses related primarily to a reclassification of income and expenses relating to debit and credit card exchange fees. Other operating 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 $7,041,000 for 2008, an increase of $802,000 from $6,239,000 for 2007 which was down by $432,000 from the 2006 total of $6,671,000. The percentage of income tax expense to earnings before taxes was 38.2% in 2008, 36.3% in 2007 and 38.7% in 2006.
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.

Balance Sheet Summary
The Company’s total assets increased $72,541,000, or 5.4%, to $1,406,786,000 at December 31, 2008, after increasing 8.4% in 2007 to $1,334,245,000 at December 31, 2007. Loans, net of allowance for possible loan losses, totaled $1,077,047,000 at December 31, 2008, a 9.0% increase compared to December 31, 2007. At year end 2008, securities totaled $205,260,000, a decrease of 8.1% from $223,381,000 at December 31, 2007. Securities decreased during 2008 as a result of many securities being called due to the lowering of rates and the use of these funds to provide liquidity to fund loans.
Total liabilities increased by $61,608,000 to $1,277,668,000 at December 31, 2008 compared to $1,216,060,000 at December 31, 2007. This increase was composed primarily of the $65,910,000 increase in total deposits to $1,248,500,000, a 5.6% increase. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased to $13,811,000 from $15,470,000 at the respective year ends 2008 and 2007 and securities sold under repurchase agreements decreased to $7,447,000 from $9,771,000 at the respective year ends 2008 and 2007.
Shareholders’ equity increased $10,933,000, or 9.3%, 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 $179,000 increase in net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, net of taxes. A more detailed discussion of assets, liabilities and capital follows.

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 9.0% as of year end 2008 when compared to year end 2007. 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, 2008 and 2007.
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 14.7% in 2008 and comprised 51.2% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2008, compared to 48.8% at December 31, 2007. 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 6.6% in 2008 and comprised 33.0% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2008, compared to 33.8% at December 31, 2007. Real estate construction loans, while almost equal in amount at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, represent 6.6% of total loans at December 31, 2008, compared to 10.0% at December 31, 2007 and are down 13% from the approximate $115,000,000 at September 30, 2008. The decrease in real estate construction loans during the last quarter of 2008 reflected the overall decrease in such loans in the overall economy.
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, 2008, 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 $14,124,000 at December 31, 2008, an increase from $4,293,000 at December 31, 2007, resulting from an $8,241,000, or 380.3%, increase in non-accrual loans. 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 $10,408,000 at December 31, 2008 compared to $2,167,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase in non-accrual loans during 2008 is due primarily to an increase in non-performing real estate loans, comprised primarily of residential loan development and non improved real estate loans of $5,600,000, and includes three large relationships with real estate developers which make up 88% of the non-accrual loans at December 31, 2008 and make up 0.85% of the Company’s total loan portfolio. Loans 90 days past due, as a component of non-performing loans, increased to $3,716,000 at December 31, 2008 from $2,126,000 at December 31, 2007. This increase is primarily a result of increases in real estate mortgage and construction loans and commercial, financial and agriculture that are 90 days past due. Management continues to examine real estate values in order to evaluate the collateral value position and believes that it is probable that it will incur losses on these loans but believes that these losses should not exceed the amount in the allowance for loan losses already allocated to loan losses, unless there is further deterioration of local real estate values. The Company had no renegotiated loans, which would have been included in non-performing loans at December 31, 2008.
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 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 which, although current, management questions the borrower’s ability to comply with the present repayment terms of the loan agreement. These internally classified loans totaled $27,799,000, excluding non-performing loans, at December 31, 2008 as compared to $7,980,000 at December 31, 2007. Of the internally classified loans at December 31, 2008, $24,855,000 are real estate related loans and $2,944,000 are various other types of loans. The internally classified loans as a percentage of the allowance for possible loan losses were 229.0% and 84.2%, respectively, at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
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, 2008, 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. 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 decreased 8.1% to $205,260,000 at year-end 2008 from $223,381,000 at December 31, 2007, and comprised the second largest and other primary component of the Company’s earning assets. The decrease followed a 21.5% increase from year 2006 to 2007. The decrease was attributed to many securities being called during 2008 due to the lowering of rates and the Company’s use of those funds to fund loan growth that exceeded deposit growth. The average yield of the securities portfolio at December 31, 2008 was 5.31% with an average maturity of 11.3 years, as compared to an average yield of 4.05% and an average maturity of 7.7 years at December 31, 2007.

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, 2008 and December 31, 2007 is as follows:

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 2008 and 2007 were funded primarily by increases in deposits along with proceeds from the calling of a portion of the Company’s securities. Total deposits, which are the principal source of funds for the Company, totaled $1,248,500,000 at December 31, 2008 compared to $1,182,590,000 and $1,086,729,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, 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 $65,910,000, or 5.6%, growth in deposits in 2008 reflected increases in several deposit categories. Total certificates of deposit (including individual retirement accounts) increased $40,742,000, or 5.9%, to $736,143,000, while money market accounts increased $24,650,000, or 12.7%, to $218,658,000. Offsetting some of this growth was a decrease in demand deposit accounts of $7,010,000, or 7.2%, to $90,795,000 and a decrease in other savings accounts of $4,308,000, or 11.1%, to $34,658,000. The average rate paid on average total interest-bearing deposits was 3.5% for 2008, compared to 4.3% for 2007 reflecting a reduction in short-term interest rates and an improvement in our ability to manage certificates of deposits. The average rate paid in 2006 was 3.6%. Competitive pressure from other banks in our market area relating to deposit pricing continues to adversely affect the rates paid on deposit accounts as it limits our ability to reduce deposit rates in line with short-term rates. The shift to longer term deposit accounts, which earn interest at higher rates, also adversely affected our deposit costs in 2008. The ratio of average loans to average deposits was 85.5% in 2008, 81.4% in 2007, and 86.1% in 2006. The Company anticipates that during 2009 deposits will shift to shorter term time deposits due to the recent rate changes and the anticipation of a possible rate increase beginning in 2010.
Contractual Obligations
The Company has the following contractual obligations as of December 31, 2008:

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, 2008, the Company had unfunded loan commitments outstanding of $8.5 million, unfunded lines of credit of $189.6 million and outstanding standby letters of credit of $22.0 million. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee since many of these commitments are expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts generally 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, Wilson Bank 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

 


 

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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, 2008, the Company’s liquid assets totaled approximately $146.9 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, 2008, the Company had a liability sensitive position (a negative gap) for 2009. 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, 2008, securities totaling approximately $1.5 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, 2008, loans totaling approximately $291.9 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 $298.8 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, 2008, a +200 basis point rate shock was forecast to decrease net interest income an estimated $2.7 million, or 6.4%, 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 36.5%. A -200 basis point rate shock is not considered to be an effective shock considering the current short-term rate environment.
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, 2008, total shareholders’ equity was $129,118,000, or 9.2% of total assets, which compares with $118,185,000, or 8.9% of total assets, at December 31, 2007, and $106,168,000, or 8.6% of total assets, at December 31, 2006. The dollar increase in shareholders’ equity during 2008 reflects (i) the Company’s net income of $11,398,000 less cash dividends of $.60 per share totaling $4,168,000, (ii) the issuance of 108,132 shares of common stock for $3,703,000, as reinvestment of cash dividends, (iii) the issuance of 17,520 shares of common stock pursuant to exercise of stock options for $232,000, (iv) the net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities of $179,000, (v) a charge to retained earnings of $74,000 relating to a change in accounting principles for executive officer deferred compensation, and (vi) a stock based compensation expense of $21,000.
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 Wilson Bank has 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 Wilson 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 Wilson Bank’s capital ratios as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. Institutions which have a Tier I leverage capital ratio of at least 5%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 5%, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10% are defined as “well capitalized”.

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

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 .703% 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.
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” which establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1:   Quoted price (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2:   Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in market that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3:   Unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Except for marketable securities, the Company does not account for any other assets or liabilities using fair value. Substantially all marketable securities are considered Level 2 assets since their fair values are determined using observable pricing inputs. Impaired loans are considered Level 3 assets.
Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Available-for-sale securities are measured on a recurring basis and are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities, broker quotes or comprehensive interest rate tables and pricing matrices.
Impaired loan balances in the table above represent those collateral-dependent loans where management has estimated the credit loss by comparing the loans’ carrying values against the expected realized fair values of the collateral securing those loans. As of December 31, 2008 impaired loans had a carrying amount of $10,408,000, with a valuation allowance of $1,810,000.
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.
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 present 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) and certain other factors.
Deposit Liabilities

 


 

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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, 2008 and 2007 are insignificant. Accordingly, these commitments have no carrying value, and management estimates the commitments to have no significant fair value.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 credits. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred ore received.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) could have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements for business combinations entered into after the effective date of SFAS No. 141(R). Also, any tax contingencies related to acquisitions prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 141(R) that are resolved after the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) would be recorded through current earning, and also could have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
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 but does not expand the use of fair value in any circumstance. 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

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 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. Additionally, in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-recurring, non-financial instruments to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. FSP 157-3 is intended to address the following application issues: (a) how the reporting entity’s own assumptions (that is, expected cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates) should be considered when measuring fair value when relevant observable inputs do not exist; (b) how available observable inputs in a market that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value; and (c) how the use of market quotes (for example, broker quotes or pricing services for the same or similar financial assets) should be considered when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable inputs available to measure fair value. FSP 157-3 is effective on issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued.
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. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted EITF 06-10 through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earning of $74,000 ($.01 per share), which is net of taxes of $46,000.
In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments” (“SAB 109”), to inform registrants of the SEC’s view that the fair value of written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value should include expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan. Additionally, the SEC reaffirmed its previous views that internally-developed intangible assets (such as customer relationship intangible assets) should not be recorded as part of the fair value of such commitments. The SEC expects registrants to apply the views stated in SAB 109 on a prospective basis to written loan commitments recorded a fair value which were issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of SAB 109 generally has resulted in higher fair values being recorded upon initial recognition of derivative interest rate lock commitments.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payments Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires that instruments granted in share-based payment transactions, that are considered to be participating securities, should be included in the earning allocation in computing EPS under the two-class method described in SFAS No. 128, “Earning per Share”. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with all prior period EPS data being adjusted retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted.
On September 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161” (FSP 133-1). FSP 133-1 requires expanded disclosures about credit derivatives and guarantees. The expanded disclosure requirements for FSP 133-1 are

effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2008 and earlier adoption is not permitted. The adoption of FSP 133-1 will not impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
On February 20, 2008 the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions” (“FSP 140-3”). FSP 140-3 requires that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing that was entered into contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the initial transfer be evaluated together as a linked transaction under SFAS No. 140, unless certain criteria are met. FSP 140-3 is effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year beginning on January 1, 2009 and earlier adoption is not permitted. The adoption of FSP 140-3 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial conditions and results of operations.

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 (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, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2008, 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, 2008 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 16, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006
(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    The accounting and reporting policies of Wilson Bank Holding Company (“the Company”) and Wilson Bank & Trust (“Wilson Bank”) 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. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  (b)   Nature of Operations
 
      Wilson Bank operates under a state bank charter and provides full banking services. As a state bank, Wilson 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-two 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.
 
  (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.

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
  (d)   Loans, Continued
 
      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 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.

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
  (d)   Loans, Continued
 
      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.

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
  (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.

      The Company and Wilson Bank file consolidated Federal and State income tax returns.
 
  (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.
 
      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 2008, 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 2008, 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. (See note 19 to the consolidated financial statements).

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued
  (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 approved a 4 for 3 stock split effective May 31, 2007. Each stockholder received four (4) shares of common stock in exchange for each three (3) shares owned with no allowance for fractional shares. For 2006, per share data included in these consolidated financial statements was 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 2007 and 2006 figures to conform to the presentation for 2008.

  (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
 
      In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141(R) could have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements for business combinations entered into after the effective date of SFAS 141(R). Also, any tax contingencies related to acquisitions prior to the effective date of SFAS 141(R) that are resolved after the adoption of SFAS 141(R) would be recorded through current earnings, and also could have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
 
      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 but does not expand the use of fair value in any circumstance. 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. Additionally, in February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (“FSP 157-2”), which delays the effective date of FAS 157 for non-recurring, non-financial instruments to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
 
      In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active. The FSP is intended to address the following application issues: (a) how the reporting entity’s own assumptions (that is, expected cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates) should be considered when measuring fair value when relevant observable inputs do not exist; (b) how available observable inputs in a market that is not active should be considered when measuring fair value; and (c) how the use of market quotes (for example, broker quotes or pricing services for the same or similar financial assets) should be considered when assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable inputs available to measure fair value. FSP 157-3 is effective on issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued.
 
      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. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted EITF 06-10 through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings of $74,000 ($.01 per share), which is net of taxes of $46,000.

      In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 109, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments” (“SAB 109”), to inform registrants of the Staff’s view that the fair value of written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value should include expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of the loan. Additionally, the Staff reaffirmed its previous views that internally-developed intangible assets (such as customer relationship intangible assets) should not be recorded as part of the fair value of such commitments. The Staff expects registrants to apply the views stated in SAB 109 on a prospective basis to written loan commitments recorded a fair value which were issued or modified in fiscal quarters beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of SAB 109 generally has resulted in higher fair values being recorded upon initial recognition of derivative interest rate lock commitments.
 
      In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payments Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires that instruments granted in share-based payment transactions, that are considered to be participating securities, should be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method described in FASB Statement No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with all prior period EPS data being adjusted retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted.
 
      On September 12, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 133-1 and FIN 45-4, “Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161” (FSP 133-1). FSP 133-1 requires expanded disclosures about credit derivatives and guarantees. The expanded disclosure requirements of FSP 133-1 are effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2008 and earlier adoption is not permitted. The adoption of FSP 133-1 will not impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
      On February 20, 2008 the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-3, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions” (FSP 140-3). FSP 140-3 requires that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing that was entered into contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the initial transfer be evaluated together as a linked transaction under SFAS 140, unless certain criteria are met. FSP 140-3 is effective for the Company’s financial statements for the year beginning on January 1, 2009 and earlier adoption is not permitted. The adoption of FSP 140-3 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial conditions and results of operations.

    2008   2007
Recorded investment
  $ 10,408       2,167  
Loan loss reserve

    The average recorded investment in impaired loans for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $9,185,000, $2,630,000 and $650,000, respectively. The Company did not recognize any interest income on the accrual basis on these loans for the period that such loans were impaired during 2008, 2007 and 2006.
 
    In 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company originated and sold loans in the secondary market of $72,744,000, $87,448,000 and $92,650,000, respectively. The gain on sale of these loans totaled $350,000, $280,000 and $451,000 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2008, there were $4.2 million in 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 up to one year 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, 2008, total loans sold with recourse to Wilson Bank, including those sold to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, aggregated $71,088,000. At December 31, 2008, 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.

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.

    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 December 31, 2008, 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.
 
    There was no unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2008.
 
    Wilson Bank does not expect that unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. Included in the balance at December 31, 2008, were $5.3 million of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
 
    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 2005, 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.

    The Company has lines of credit with other financial institutions totaling $48,900,000. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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.

(13)   Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk, Continued
 
    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 $22.0 million at December 31, 2008.
 
(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, 2008, the Company’s cash and due from banks and federal funds sold included commercial bank deposits aggregating $21,392,000 in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000 per depositor.
 
    Federal funds sold were deposited with five 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, 2008, 2007 and 2006, Wilson Bank contributed $1,225,000, $1,099,000 and $961,000, 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 108,132 in 2008, 53,518 in 2007 and 113,774 in 2006 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.
 
    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, 2008, 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 5.0%, 10.0% and 5.0%, respectively. The actual ratios of the Company and Wilson Bank were as follows:
                                 
    Wilson Bank    
    Holding Company   Wilson Bank
    2008   2007   2008   2007
Tier I ratio
    11.40 %     10.77 %     11.32 %     11.08 %
 
                               
Total risk-based ratio
    12.54 %     11.67 %     12.47 %     12.08 %
 
                               
Leverage ratio
    8.96 %     8.63 %     8.91 %     8.60 %
    As of December 31, 2008, 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, 2008.
 
    The Deferred Compensation Plan provides retirement benefits for a period of 180 months after the employee reaches the age of 65 and/or age 55 after twenty years of service. 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, 2008 and 2007, the deferred compensation liability totaled $1,294,000 and $1,006,000, respectively, the cash surrender value of life insurance was $1,398,000 and $1,334,000, respectively, and the face amount of the insurance policies in force approximated $5,358,000 and $5,358,000, 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.

(19)   Stock Option Plan, Continued
 
    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 beginning January 1, 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.
 
    The fair value of each grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 2008, 2007 and 2006:
                         
    2008   2007   2006
Expected dividends
    2.24 %     4.78 %     4.78 %

Expected volatility
    15.2 %     15.2 %     15.2 %
Risk-free rate
    5.16 %     4.32 %     4.32 %
    Expected volatility was calculated at 15.2% based upon the consideration of historical and implied volatility of similar publicly traded companies.

    The weighted average fair value at the grant date of options granted during the years 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $7.48, $1.16 and $1.50, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $386,000, $311,000 and $261,000, respectively.
 
    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, 2008.
 
    As of December 31, 2008, there was $50,000 of total unrecognized cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements grant under the Stock Option Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.3 years.
 
(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 2007 and 2006 have been restated to reflect a 4 for 3 stock split effective May 7, 2007.

(22)   Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
    During the first quarter of 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” which establishes a fair value hierarchy and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
  Level 1:   Quoted price (unadjusted) or identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
  Level 2:   Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in market that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
  Level 3:   Unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
    Except for marketable securities, the Company does not account for any other assets or liabilities using fair value. Substantially all marketable securities are considered Level 2 assets since their fair values are determined using observable pricing inputs.
 
    Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis
 
    Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:
                                 
            Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2008
            Quoted Prices   Significant *    
    Carrying   in Active   Other   Significant

Assets:
                               
Available-for-sale securities
  $ 194,167       1,016       193,151        
Impaired loans
    10,408                   10,408  
    Available-for-sale securities are measured on a recurring basis and are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities, broker quotes or comprehensive interest rate tables and pricing matrices.
 
    Impaired loan balances in the table above represent those collateral-dependent loans where management has estimated the credit loss by comparing the loans’ carrying values against the expected realized fair values of the collateral securing those loans. As of December 31, 2008 impaired loans had a carrying amount of $10,408,000, with a valuation allowance of $1,810,000.

(22)   Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued
    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.
 
      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.

(22)   Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Continued
      Loans, Continued
      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), or certain other factors.
      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, 2008 and 2007 are insignificant. Accordingly, these commitments have no carrying value, and management estimates the commitments to have no significant fair value.

      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.
