PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

GENERAL

Wilson Bank Holding Company (the "Company") was incorporated on March 17, 1992
under the laws of the State of Tennessee. The purpose of the Company was to
acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Wilson Bank and Trust
(the "Bank") and act as a one bank holding company. On November 17, 1992, the
Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of the Bank pursuant to the terms of
a plan of share exchange and agreement.

All of the Company's banking business is conducted through the Bank, a state
chartered bank organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee, the Bank's
wholly-owned subsidiary Hometown Finance, Inc., DeKalb Community Bank ("DCB")
and Community Bank of Smith County ("CBSC"). The Bank on December 31, 1997 had
eight full service banking offices. Hometown Finance, Inc., a finance company
organized under the Tennessee Industrial Loan and Thrift Companies Act (the
"Finance Company") had one office in Lebanon on December 31, 1997. As of
December 31, 1997, DCB had one office located in Smithville, Tennessee and one
office located in Alexandria, Tennessee. CBSC has one office located in
Carthage, Tennessee. The Finance Company began operations in September 1994, DCB
in April 1996 and CBSC in December 1996 and, to date, their revenues and
expenses have not had a material effect on the earnings of the Company.

The Company's principal executive office is located at 623 West Main Street,
Lebanon, Tennessee, which is also the principal location of the Bank. The Bank's
branch offices are located at 1444 Baddour Parkway, Lebanon, Tennessee; 200
Tennessee Boulevard, Lebanon, Tennessee; Public Square, Watertown, Tennessee;
8875 Stewart's Ferry Pike, Gladeville, Tennessee; 1476 North Mt. Juliet Road,
Mt. Juliet, Tennessee; 127 McMurry Boulevard, Hartsville, Tennessee; and the
Wal-Mart Super Center, Lebanon, Tennessee. The Finance Company is located at 502
West Main, Lebanon, Tennessee 37087. Management believes that Wilson County
offers an environment for continued growth and the Company's target market
consists of local consumers, professionals and small businesses. The Bank offers
a wide range of banking services, including checking, savings, and money market
deposit accounts, certificates of deposit and loans for consumer, commercial and
real estate purposes. The Bank also offers custodial, trust and discount
brokerage services to its customers. The Bank does not have a concentration of
deposits obtained from a single person or entity or a small group of persons or
entities, the loss of which would have a material adverse affect on the business
of the Bank. Furthermore, no concentration of loans exists within a single
industry or group of related industries.

The Bank was organized in 1987 to provide Wilson County a locally owned, locally
managed commercial bank. Since its opening, the Bank has experienced a steady
growth in deposits and loans as a result of providing personal, service oriented
banking services to its targeted market. For the year ended December 31, 1997,
the Company reported net earnings of approximately $3.7 million and had total
assets of approximately $351.7 million.

On October 16, 1995, the Company filed an application to form a branch in DeKalb
County, Tennessee and subsequently filed a related application to incorporate
such branch as a de novo bank under the name DeKalb Community Bank on November
29, 1995. The application was approved on March 8, 1996 and DCB opened for
business on April 18, 1996. DCB is 50% owned by the Company and 50% owned by
residents of DeKalb County. DCB opened a full service branch in Alexandria,
Tennessee on December 6, 1997. DCB is considered a subsidiary of the Company for
purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.

Management believes that DeKalb County offers an environment for continued
growth since it is geographically close to Wilson County, and two locally-owned
banks in DeKalb County recently were acquired by larger banks. DCB offers a wide
range of banking services, including checking, savings, and money market deposit
accounts, certificates of deposit and loans for consumer, commercial and real
estate purposes. DCB does not have a concentration of deposits obtained from a
single person or entity or a small group of persons or entities, the loss of
which would have a material adverse affect on the business of DCB. Furthermore,
no concentration of loans exists within a single industry or group of related
industries.

On August 28, 1996, the Company filed an application to form a de novo bank in
Smith County, Tennessee under the name Community Bank of Smith County. The
application was approved on November 25, 1996 and CBSC opened for business on
December 16, 1996. CBSC is 50% owned by the Company and 50% owned by residents
of Smith County. CBSC is considered a subsidiary of the Company for purposes of
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Management believes that Smith County
offers an environment for continued growth since it is contiguous to Wilson
County and has only three other financial institutions. CBSC offers a wide range
of banking services, including checking, savings, and money market deposit
accounts, certificates of deposit and loans for consumer, commercial and real
estate purposes. It is anticipated that CBSC will not have a concentration of
deposits obtained from a single person or entity or a small group of persons or
entities, the loss of which would have a material adverse affect on the business
of CBSC. Furthermore, no concentration of loans should exist within a single
industry or group of related industries.

FINANCIAL AND STATISTICAL INFORMATION

The Company's audited financial statements, selected financial data and
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation contained in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year
ended December 31, 1997 filed as Exhibit 13 to this Form 10-K (the "1997Annual
Report"), are incorporated herein by reference.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

In addition to the information set forth herein, Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, incorporated by
reference in Item 6 hereof, further discusses recent banking legislation and
regulation and should be reviewed in conjunction herewith.

The Company, the Bank, DCB, CBSC and the Finance Company are subject to
extensive regulation under state and federal statutes and regulations. The
discussion in this section, which briefly summarizes certain of such statutes,
does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to such statutes. Other state and federal legislation and regulations directly
and indirectly affecting banks are likely to be enacted or implemented in the
future; however, such legislation and regulations and their effect on the
business of the Company and its subsidiary cannot be predicted.

The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (the "Act") and is registered with the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System (the "Board"). The Company is required to file annual
reports with, and is subject to examination by, the Board. The Bank, DCB, CBSC
and the Finance Company are chartered under the laws of the state of Tennessee
and are subject to the supervision of, and are regularly examined by, the
Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions. The Bank, DCB and CBSC are also
regularly examined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Under the Tennessee Bank Structure Act, a bank holding company which controls
30% or more of the total deposits in all federally insured financial
institutions in Tennessee is prohibited from acquiring any bank in Tennessee.
Furthermore, no bank holding company may acquire any bank in Tennessee that has
been in operation less than five years or organize a new bank in Tennessee,
except in the case of certain interim bank mergers and acquisitions of banks in
financial difficulty. State banks and national banks in Tennessee, however, may
establish branches anywhere in the state.

Under the Act, a bank holding company may not directly or indirectly acquire
ownership or control or 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.

Recently, congress enacted the Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "IBBEA") which authorizes interstate acquisitions of
banks and bank holding companies without geographic limitation beginning on June
1, 1997. In addition, on that date, the IBBEA authorizes a bank to merge with a
bank in another state as long as neither of the states has opted out of
interstate branching between the date of enactment of the IBBEA and May 1,

1997. Tennessee has enacted interstate branching laws in response to the federal
law which, effective June 1, 1997, will prohibit the establishment or
acquisition in Tennessee by any bank of a branch office, branch bank or other
branch facility in Tennessee except (i) a Tennessee-Chartered Bank, (ii) a
national bank which has its main office in Tennessee or (iii) a bank which
merges or consolidates with a Tennessee-Chartered bank or national bank with its
main office in Tennessee.

The Company, Bank, DCB and CBSC are subject to certain restrictions imposed by
the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, respectively, on
any extensions of credit to the bank holding company or its subsidiary on
investments in the stock or other securities of the bank holding company or its
subsidiary.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
covers a wide expanse of banking regulatory issues. FDICIA deals with
recapitalization of the Bank Insurance Fund, with deposit insurance reform,
including requiring the FDIC to establish a risk-based premium assessment
system, and with a number of other regulatory and supervisory matters.

The Financial Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") provides
that a holding company's controlled insured depository institutions are liable
for any loss incurred by the FDIC in connection with the default of, or any
FDIC-assisted transaction involving, an affiliated insured bank or savings
association.

The maximum permissible rates of interest on most commercial and consumer loans
made by the Bank and the Finance Company are governed by Tennessee's general
usury law and the Tennessee Industrial Loan and Thrift Companies Act
("Industrial Loan Act"). Certain other usury laws affect limited classes of
loans, but the laws referenced above are by far the most significant.
Tennessee's general usury law authorizes a floating rate of 4% per annum over
the average prime or base commercial loan rate, as published by the Federal
Reserve Board from time to time, subject to an absolute 24% per annum limit. The
Industrial Loan Act, which is applicable to the Finance Company and also is
generally applicable to most of the loans made by the Bank in Tennessee,
authorizes an interest rate of up to 24% per annum and also allows certain loan
charges, generally on a more liberal basis than does the general usury law.

COMPETITION

The banking industry is highly competitive. The Company, through its subsidiary,
competes with national and state banks for deposits, loans, and trust and other
services.

The Bank competes with much larger commercial banks in Wilson County, including
three banks owned by regional multi-bank holding companies headquartered out of
Tennessee and four banks owned by Tennessee multi-bank holding companies. These
institutions enjoy existing depositor relationships and greater financial
resources than the Company and can be expected to offer a wider range of banking
services. These institutions enjoy existing depositor relationships and greater
financial resources than the Company and can be expected to offer a wider range
of banking services. In addition the Bank competes with one commercial bank
headquartered in Wilson County and one headquartered in an adjacent county. Two
credit unions provide additional competition.

DCB competes with much larger commercial banks in DeKalb County, including three
banks owned by Tennessee multi-bank holding companies. These banks were
previously locally owned banks which were recently acquired by the larger banks.
While these institutions enjoy existing depositor relationships and greater
financial resources than the DCB and can be expected to offer a wider range of
banking services, DCB can expect to attract customers since it is locally owned
and most loan and management decisions will be made at the local level. In
addition the Bank competes with one commercial bank headquartered in DeKalb
County.

CBSC competes with three commercial banks in or near Smith County, including two
banks based in Smith County and one based in an adjacent county. These
institutions enjoy existing depositor relationships; however, the Company can be
expected to offer a wider range of banking services at CBSC through its
financial resources as well as programs offered by other subsidiaries of the
Company.

Given the competitive market place, the Company makes no predictions as to how
its relative position will change in the future.

MONETARY POLICIES

The results of operations of the Bank and the Company are affected by the
policies of the regulatory authorities, particularly the Board. An important
function of the Board is to regulate the national supply of bank credit in order
to combat recession and curb inflation. Among the instruments used to attain
these objectives are open market operations in U.S. government securities,
changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve
requirements relating to member bank deposits. These instruments are used in
varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans,
investments and deposits, and their use may also affect interest rates charged
on loans and paid for deposits. Policies of the regulatory agencies have had a
significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and
are expected to do so in the future. The effect of such policies upon the future
business and results of operations of the Company, Bank, DCB and CBSC cannot be
predicted with accuracy.

EMPLOYMENT

The Company and is subsidiaries collectively employ 157 full-time equivalent
employees and 24 part-time employees. Additional personnel will be hired to meet
future growth.

YEAR 2000

As with other companies, advances and changes in technology can have a
significant impact on the business and operations. Many computer programs were
originally designed to recognize calendar years by their last two digits.
Calculations performed using these truncated fields will not work properly with
dates from the year 2000 and beyond. This "Year 2000 computer issue" can create
risk for a company from unforeseen problems in its own computer systems and from
the company's vendors and customers.

The Company has implemented a plan in order to avoid any problems related to the
Year 2000 computer issue. Based upon current information, management presently
believes that specific costs related to the Company's Year 2000 systems issues
will not have a material impact on the operations, cash flows or financial
condition of the Company.

STATISTICAL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY GUIDE 3

The statistical information required to be displayed under Item I pursuant to
Guide 3, "Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies," of the Exchange Act
Industry Guides is incorporated herein by reference to the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the notes thereto and the Management's Discussion and
Analysis sections in the Company's 1997 Annual Report; certain information not
contained in the Company's 1997 Annual Report, but required by Guide 3, is
contained in the tables immediately following:

WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY

Form 10-K

December 31, 1997


I. Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity:
Interest Rate and Interest Differential

The Schedule which follows indicates the average balances for each
major balance sheet item, an analysis of net interest income and the
change in interest income and interest expense attributable to changes
in volume and changes in rates.

The difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and
interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities is net interest
income, which is the Company's gross margin. Analysis of net interest
income is more meaningful when income from tax-exempt earning assets is
adjusted to a tax equivalent basis. Accordingly, the following schedule
includes a tax-equivalent adjustment of tax-exempt earning assets,
assuming a weighted average Federal income tax rate of 34%.

In this Schedule "change due to volume" is the change in volume
multiplied by the interest rate for the prior year. "Change due to
rate" is the change in interest rate multiplied by the volume for the
current year. Changes in interest income and expense not due solely to
volume or rate changes are included in the "change due to rate"
category.

Non-accrual loans have been included in the loan category. Loan fees of
$271,000, $150,000 and $155,000 for 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
are included in loan income and represent an adjustment of the yield on
these loans.

III. Loan Portfolio, Continued:

C. Risk Elements, Continued:

The accrual of interest income is discontinued when it is determined
that collection of interest is less than probable or the collection of
any amount of principal is doubtful. The decision to place a loan on a
non-accrual status is based on an evaluation of the borrower's
financial condition, collateral liquidation value, economic and
business conditions and other factors that affect the borrower's
ability to pay. At the time a loan is placed on a non-accrual status,
the accrued but unpaid interest is also evaluated as to collectibility.
If collectibility is doubtful, the unpaid interest is charged off.
Thereafter, interest on non-accrual loans is recognized only as
received. Non-accrual loans totaled $160,000 at December 31, 1997,
$260,000 at December 31, 1996 and $117,000 at December 31, 1995. Gross
interest income on loans, that would have been recorded for the year
ended December 31, 1997 if the loans had been current totaled $11,000
as compared to $12,000 in 1996 and $7,000 in 1995. The amount of
interest income recognized on the loans during 1997 totaled $20,466,000
as compared to $15,725,000 in 1996 and $12,763,000 in 1995.

At December 31, 1997, loans, which include the above, totaling
$1,162,000 were included in the Company's internal classified loan
list. Of these loans $306,000 are real estate and $856,000 are various
other types of loans. The collateral values securing these loans total
approximately $1,546,000, ($298,000 related to real property and
$1,248,000 related to the various other types of loans). Such loans are
listed as classified when information obtained about possible credit
problems of the borrower has prompted management to question the
ability of the borrower to comply with the repayment terms of the loan
agreement. The loan classifications do not represent or result from
trends or uncertainties which management expects will materially impact
future operating results, liquidity or capital resources.

At December 31, 1997 there were no loan concentrations that exceeded
ten percent of total loans other than as included in the preceding
table of types of loans. Loan concentrations are amounts loaned to a
multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities which would
cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions.

At December 31, 1997 other real estate totaled $63,000. There was no
other real estate at December 31, 1996.

IV. Summary of Loan Loss Experience, Continued

The allowance for possible loan losses is an amount that management
believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that
may become uncollectible. The provision for possible loan losses charged to
operating expense is based on past loan loss experience and other factors
which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating
possible loan losses. Such other factors considered by management include
growth and composition of the loan portfolio, review of specific loan
problems, the relationship of the allowance for possible loan losses to
outstanding loans, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's
ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and
current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay.

Management conducts a continuous review of all loans that are delinquent,
previously charged down or loans which are determined to potentially
uncollectible. Loan classifications are reviewed periodically by a person
independent of the lending function. The Board of Directors periodically
reviews the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses.

The following detail provides a breakdown of the allocation of the
allowance for possible loan losses:

ITEM 7A. 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 the
spread between the cost of funds and interest yields generated primarily through
loans and investments.





















The following table provides information about the Company's financial
instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates as of December 31,
1997.
