                                     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,


                                       2

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.


                                       3
<PAGE>   5
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:

                               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.

         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:

     to various categories of assets and commitments ranging from 0% to 100%
     based on the risk associated with the asset.

     next twelve months. However, management expects that liabilities of a
     demand nature will renew and that it will not be necessary to replace them
     with significantly higher cost funds.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Company's main office is owned by the Company and consists of approximately
four acres at 623 West Main Street, Lebanon, Tennessee. The building is a two
story, brick building, with approximately 35,000 square feet. The lot has
approximately 350 feet of road frontage on West Main Street. In addition
thereto, the Bank has seven branch locations located at 1444 Baddour Parkway,
Lebanon, Tennessee; 200 Tennessee Boulevard, Lebanon, Tennessee; 8875 Stewart's
Ferry Pike, Gladeville, Tennessee; Public Square, Watertown, Tennessee; 1476
North Mt. Juliet Road, Mt. Juliet, Tennessee; 127 McMurry Boulevard, Hartsville,
Tennessee and the Wal-Mart Super Center, Lebanon, Tennessee. The branch
locations are new facilities with the exception of the Watertown and Gladeville
offices which have been remodeled to serve the needs of the customer base
effectively. The Bank owns five of these branch facilities and leases the
Lebanon facility at Tennessee Boulevard under a long term lease. The Wal-Mart
Super Center branch has a five year lease for the space used at the Lebanon
Wal-Mart location. The Finance Company's principal place of business is at 502
West Main Street, Lebanon, Tennessee in a building which the Bank leases. The
Bank also leases space at three locations within Wilson County where it
maintains and operates automatic teller machines. The Bank purchased a trailer
in early 1997 which can be used as a bank facility for use at new branch
locations of the Company while a permanent building is being constructed.

DCB has a new bank facility at 576 West Broad Street in Smithville, Tennessee,
containing approximately 6,800 square feet of space, which serves as the main
office of DCB. In addition, DCB has a new branch facility which opened on
December 6, 1997 and is located at 306 Brush Creek Road in Alexandria,
Tennessee. This branch facility contains approximately 2,400 square feet and
will serve the eastern portion of DeKalb County. CBSC is currently leasing
office space at 1210 Main Street North. A site has been selected to build a
permanent building during 1998.

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.

that date. Future dividends will be dependent upon the Company's profitability,
its capital needs and overall financial condition, and economic and regulatory
consideration.

                           WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         Effective November 17, 1992, Wilson Bank Holding Company (the
"Company") acquired 100% of the common stock of Wilson Bank and Trust, and
accordingly, became a bank holding company. Management believes that the holding
company structure permits greater flexibility in the expansion of the Company's
present business and will allow the Company to be more responsive to its
customers' broadening and changing financial needs.

         During 1996, the Company and other organizers consisting primarily of
residents of DeKalb and Smith Counties formed DeKalb Community Bank and
Community Bank of Smith County. The Company acquired 50% of the common stock of
each bank. Each of the banks were capitalized with $3,500,000; and accordingly,
the Company's investment in each bank was $1,750,000. DeKalb Community Bank and
Community Bank of Smith County are accounted for as consolidated subsidiaries of
the Company and their accounts are included in the consolidated financial
statements. The equity and earnings applicable to the minority stockholders are
shown as minority interest in the consolidated financial statements.

         The Company's subsidiary banks are community banks headquartered in
Lebanon, Smithville and Carthage, Tennessee, serving Wilson County, DeKalb
County, Smith County and Trousdale County, Tennessee as their primary market
areas. The subsidiary banks have eleven locations including their three main
offices. DeKalb, Smith and Trousdale Counties adjoin Wilson County. Management
believes that these counties offer an environment for continued growth, and the
Company's target market is local consumers, professionals and small businesses.
The banks offer a wide range of banking services, including checking, savings,
and money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit and loans for
consumer, commercial and real estate purposes. The Company also offers custodial
and trust services and an investment center which offers a full line of
investment services to its customers.

         During 1997, Wilson Bank and Trust opened a branch facility in
Hartsville, Trousdale County, Tennessee which also adjoins Wilson County. DeKalb
Community Bank opened a branch in Alexandria, DeKalb County, Tennessee.

         The following discussion and analysis is designed to assist readers in
their analysis of the Company's consolidated financial statements and must be
read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $3,664,000 an
increase of $557,000 or 17.9% over 1996. Net earnings for the year ended
December 31, 1996 totaled $3,107,000 which was an increase of $686,000 or 28.3%
from $2,421,000 for 1995. On a per share basis, net income equaled $2.62 in
1997, $2.27 in 1996 and $1.81 in 1995.

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 1997 was $25,141,000 compared with
$19,448,000 in 1996 and $16,366,000 in 1995. The increase in total interest
income in 1997 was primarily due to a $64.7 million or 28.2% increase in average
earning assets over 1996. Average earning assets increased $34.8 million from
December 31, 1995 to December 31, 1996. The average interest rate earned on
earning assets was 8.74% in 1997 compared with 8.73% in 1996 and 8.68% in 1995.

         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

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


on nonaccrual loans totaled $11,000 in 1997, $12,000 in 1996 and $7,000 in 1995.

         Total interest expense for 1997 was $12,675,000, an increase of
$2,878,000 or 29.4%, compared to total interest expense of $9,797,000 in 1996.
The increase in total interest expense was due to an increase in average
interest bearing liabilities of approximately $56,792,000 and an increase in the
weighted average cost of funds from 4.38% to 4.41%. Interest expense increased
from $8,425,000 in 1995 to $9,797,000 in 1996 or an increase of $1,372,000 or
16.3%. The increase in 1996 was due to a $30,642,000 increase in average
interest bearing liabilities offset by a decrease in the weighted average cost
of funds from 4.44% to 4.38%..

         Net interest income for 1997 totaled $12,466,000 as compared to
$9,651,000 and $7,941,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The net interest
spread, defined as the effective yield on earning assets less the effective cost
of deposits and borrowed funds (calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis),
decreased to 4.33% for 1997 as compared to 4.35% in 1996. The net interest
spread was 4.24% in 1995. The net interest yield, which is net interest income
expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, decreased to 4.44% for 1997
compared to 4.46% in 1996 and 4.35% in 1995. Interest rates remained stable
during 1997 and are expected to remain stable or decline slightly in 1998. The
Company is in a position to reprice its liabilities faster than the assets are
repricing. Accordingly, management expects the projected stable interest rates
to have an insignificant impact on the net interest yield and net interest
income. A significant increase in interest rates could have an adverse impact on
net interest yields and earnings.

PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary
to establish an allowance for possible loan losses that, in management's
evaluation, is adequate to provide coverage for estimated losses on outstanding
loans and to provide for uncertainties in the economy. The 1997 provision for
loan losses was $828,000, an increase of $163,000 from the provision of $665,000
in 1996. The provision for loan losses was $527,000 in 1995. Net charge-offs
increased to $390,000 in 1997 from $157,000 in 1996. Net charge-offs in 1995
totaled $139,000. The ratio of net charge-offs to average total outstanding
loans in 1997 was .18% and in 1996 was .09%. The provision for loan losses in
1997 exceeded net charge-offs by $438,000 compared to $508,000 in 1996 and
$388,000 in 1995.

         The provision for loan losses raised the allowance for possible loan
losses (net of charge-offs and recoveries) to $2,890,000 at December 31, 1997
from $2,452,000 and $1,944,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. This
represents a 17.9% increase in the allowance at December 31, 1997 over December
31, 1996. The allowance for possible loan losses was 1.20% of total loans
outstanding at December 31, 1997 compared to 1.32% at December 31, 1996 and
1.31% at December 31, 1995. Additionally, as a percentage of nonperforming loans
at year end 1997, 1996 and 1995, the allowance for loan losses represented 210%,
233% and 675%, respectively.

         The level of the allowance and the amount of the provision involve
evaluation of uncertainties and matters of judgment. Management believes the
allowance for possible loan losses at December 31, 1997 to be adequate.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

         The components of the Company's non-interest income include service
charges on deposit accounts, other fees, gains on sale of loans, net gains on
sale of fixed assets and minority interest in net losses of subsidiaries. Total
non-interest income for 1997 was $3,410,000 compared with $2,781,000 in 1996 and
$1,874,000 in 1995. The 22.6% increase over 1996 was primarily due to increases
in service charges on deposit accounts (which increased $179,000), other fees
(which increased $389,000) and net gains on sales of loans (which increased
$125,000). Management projects that gains on sales of loans will increase in
1998 due to increases in loan demand in the existing market, improved marketing
plans and expansion into a broader market area. Management intends to continue
to aggressively market the services of the trust department; however,

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


trust income is not expected to have a significant impact on earnings in the
immediate future.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES

         Non-interest expenses consist primarily of employee costs, occupancy
expenses, furniture and equipment expenses, loss on sale of other real estate,
FDIC insurance, Directors' fees, other operating expenses and security losses.
Total non-interest expenses for 1997 increased 32.6% to $9,618,000 from
$7,254,000 in 1996. The 1996 non-interest expense was up 23.6% over 1995 which
totaled $5,871,000. The increases in non-interest expenses resulted primarily
from increases in employee salaries and related benefits. This increase was
principally due to an increase in the number of employees necessary to support
the Company's expanded operations including the two new bank subsidiaries which
were opened in 1996 and the two new branches which were opened in 1997. The FDIC
insurance premiums increased from $3,000 in 1996 to $30,000 in 1997 or $27,000.
The decrease from 1995 to 1996 was $195,000. The decrease in 1996 resulted from
a suspension of premiums as of January 1, 1996 due to full capitalization of the
FDIC insurance fund. Other operating expenses increased to $2,781,000 in 1997
from $1,810,000 in 1996. These expenses included data processing, supplies and
general operating expenses, which increased as a result of continued growth of
the Company and expansion into new market areas.

INCOME TAXES

         The Company's income tax expense was $1,766,000 for 1997 an increase of
$360,000 from 1996. The percentage of income tax expense to earnings before
taxes increased to 32.5% in 1997 from 31.2% in 1996. The percentage was 29.1% in
1995. The percentage for 1997 as compared to 1996 increased primarily as a
result of a decrease in the percentage of interest income exempt from Federal
income taxes to earnings before taxes from 25.7% in 1996 to 21.5% in 1997. The
increase from 1995 to 1996 is due to net operating losses of 50% owned bank
subsidiaries not recognized for Federal tax purposes and a decrease in the
percentage of interest income exempt from Federal income taxes from 30.8% in
1995 to 25.7% in 1996.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY. The Company's total assets increased $76,405,000
or 27.8% to $351,709,000 at December 31, 1997, after increasing 21.4% in 1996 to
$275,304,000 at December 31, 1996. Loans, net of allowance for possible loan
losses, totaled $237,666,000 at December 31, 1997, a 29.4% increase compared to
December 31, 1996. Investment securities increased in 1997, primarily as a
result of the increased deposits. At year end 1997 securities totaled
$61,497,000, an increase of 10.7% from $55,545,000 at December 31, 1996. The
increase in securities in 1997 includes a $72,000 increase in unrealized gains
on securities available-for-sale.

         Total liabilities increased $72,840,000 at December 31, 1997 to
$326,892,000 compared to $254,052,000 at December 31, 1996. This increase was
composed primarily of the $73,391,000 increase in total deposits to $316,641,000
(a 30.2% increase). Securities sold under repurchase agreements decreased to
$4,560,000 from $5,616,000 at the respective year ends 1997 and 1996.

         Stockholders' equity increased $3,565,000 or 16.8% due to net earnings,
sales of stock pursuant to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, net of
dividends paid on the Company's common stock and a $38,000 increase in net
unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities. A more detailed discussion of
assets, liabilities and capital follows.

         A subsidiary bank currently expects to construct a new main office
facility during 1998. The cost of the construction is currently estimated to be
$750,000.

         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
loan loses, increased 29.4% by year end 1997. 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 1997 and 1996.

         As represented in the table, primary loan growth was in real estate
mortgage loans and commercial loans. Real estate mortgage loans increased 27.4%
in 1997 and at December 31, 1997 comprised 42.6% of total loans compared to
43.1% of total loans at December 31, 1996. This increase was primarily due to
the favorable interest rate environment and the Company's ability to increase
its market share of such loans while maintaining its loan underwriting
standards. Commercial loans increased 43.6% in 1997 and comprised 34.1% of the
total loan portfolio at December 31, 1997, compared to 30.6% at December 31,
1996.

         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, 1997, 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 and loans 90 days
past due, totaled $1,379,000 at December 31, 1997, an increase from $1,054,000
at December 31, 1996. Non-accrual loans are loans on which accrual of interest
is stopped when 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 $160,000 at

December 31, 1997 compared to $260,000 at December 31, 1996. Loans 90 days past
due, as a component of non-performing loans, increased to $1,219,000 at December
31, 1997 from $794,000 at December 31, 1996. This increase is primarily a result
of increases in installment loans that are 90 days past due offset by a
reduction of real estate mortgage loans 90 days past due. The Bank had no
renegotiated loans, which would have been included in non-performing loans.

         The Company also internally classifies loans about which management
questions the borrower's ability to comply with the repayment terms of the loan
agreement. These internally classified loans, inclusive of certain
non-performing loans, totaled $1,162,000 at December 31, 1997 as compared to
$561,000 at December 31, 1996. Of the internally classified loans at December
31, 1997, $306,000 are real estate related loans and $856,000 are various other
types of loans. The internally classified loans as a percentage of the allowance
for possible loan losses were 40.2% and 22.9%, respectively, at December 31,
1997 and 1996.

         The allowance for possible loan losses is discussed under "Provision
for Possible Loan Losses." The Company maintains its allowance for possible loan
losses at an amount deemed 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 County and
adjoining counties. The Company seeks to exercise prudent risk management in
lending, including diversification by loan category and industry segment (at
December 31, 1997 no single industry segment accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's portfolio), as well as by identification of credit risks.

         The Company's management believes there is a significant opportunity to
continue to increase the loan portfolio in the Company's primary market area.
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 75% of deposit balances,
various factors, including demand for loans which meet its underwriting
standards, will determine the size of the loan portfolio in a given economic
climate. This is reflected in the past two years when the Company's average loan
to average deposit ratio was 76.8% and 77.0%. As a practice, the Company
generates its own loans and does not buy participations from other institutions.
The Company will sell loans it generates to other financial institutions if the
transaction profits the Company and improves the liquidity of the loan
portfolio. The subsidiary banks sell loan participations within the consolidated
group. The Company seeks to build a loan portfolio which is capable of adjusting
to swings in the interest rate market, and it is the Company's policy to
maintain a diverse loan portfolio not dependent on any particular market or
industrial segment.

SECURITIES

         Securities increased 10.7% to $61,497,000 at year end 1997 from
$55,545,000 at December 31, 1996, and comprised the second largest and other
primary component of the Company's earning assets. This increase followed a 6.8%
securities portfolio increase from year end 1995 to 1996. The growth in
securities resulted from continued deposit growth in excess of funds necessary
to fund loan growth.

         The primary increase in the Company's securities portfolio was in U.S.
Treasury and other U.S. Government agencies which increased $6,872,000 or 27.1%
in 1997. Mortgage-backed securities decreased $2,124,000 or 22.4%. The average
yield of the securities portfolio at December 31, 1997 was 7.09% with an average
maturity of 5.33 years, as compared to an average yield of 6.9% and an average
maturity of 4.2 years at December 31, 1996. Management has extended the average
maturity of securities to increase or maintain the average yield.

         The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS No. 115), "Accounting for Certain

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Under the provisions of the
Statement, 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, 1997 is as
follows:

         The classification of a portion of the securities portfolio as
available for sale was made to provide for more flexibility in asset/liability
management and capital management.

         A component of the net increase in capital for the year ended December
31, 1995 totaling $519,000 represents the unrealized appreciation in securities
available-for-sale of $836,000 less applicable tax expense of $317,000. The net
decrease in capital for the year ended December 31, 1996 totaled $100,000 which
represents the unrealized appreciation in securities available-for-sale of
$161,000 less applicable tax expense of $61,000. During the year ended December
31, 1997, the net increase in capital totaled $38,000 which represents an
increase in the unrealized appreciation in securities available-for-sale of
$57,000 less applicable tax benefit of $19,000.

         In November, 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued "A
Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities" which permits the reassessment of the
appropriateness of the classifications of all securities by December 31, 1995.
Reclassifications from the held-to-maturity classification that result from this
one-time reassessment will not call into question the intent of an entity to
hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. The Company transferred
securities with an amortized cost of $1,095,000 (market value - $1,088,000) to
the available-to-sale classification in December 1995 pursuant to these
provisions.

DEPOSITS

         The increases in assets in 1997 and 1996 were funded primarily by
increases in deposits. Total deposits, which are the principal source of funds
for the Company, totaled $316,641,000 at December 31, 1997 compared to
$243,250,000 and $200,037,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, 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, DeKalb County, Smith County and Trousdale County
areas are growing economic markets offering growth opportunities for the
Company; however, the Company competes with several of the 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 believes that the
market share will be maintained or expanded.

         The $73,391,000 or 30.2% growth in deposits in 1997 consisted of
changes in several deposit categories: savings accounts increased $7,558,000
(80.3%) to $16,971,000; total certificates of deposit (including individual
retirement accounts) increased $36,067,000 (25.4%) to $177,912,000, money market
demand accounts increased $18,381,000 (41.2%) to $63,030,000 and demand deposits
increased $5,168,000 (19.0%) to $32,373,000.

         The average rate paid on average total interest-bearing deposits was
4.9% for 1997, compared to 4.8% for 1996. The average rate paid in 1995 was
4.9%.

         The ratio of average loans to average deposits was 76.8% in 1997
compared with 77.0% and 73.3% in 1996 and 1995, respectively.


LIQUIDITY AND ASSET MANAGEMENT

         The Company's management seeks to maximize net interest income by
managing the Company's assets and liabilities within appropriate constraints on
capital, liquidity and interest rate risk. Liquidity is the ability to maintain
sufficient cash levels necessary to fund operations, meet the requirements of
depositors and borrowers and fund attractive investment opportunities. Higher
levels of liquidity bear corresponding costs, measured in terms of lower yields
on short-term, more liquid earning assets and higher interest expense involved
in extending liability maturities. Liquid assets include cash and cash
equivalents and investment securities and money market instruments that will
mature

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


within one year. At December 31, 1997, the Company's liquid assets approximated
$32.1 million.

         The Company's primary source of liquidity is a stable core deposit
base. In addition short-term investments, loan payments and investment security
maturities provide a secondary source.

         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.

         At December 31, 1997, the Company had a liability sensitive position (a
negative gap) for 1997. Liability sensitivity means that more of the Company's
liabilities are capable of repricing over certain time frames than assets. The
interest rates associated with these liabilities may not actually change over
this period but are capable of changing. The 1997 net earnings would have
deteriorated in a rising rate environment as compared with the fairly stable
rate environment. The 1996 earnings were enhanced by the stable rate
environment. The 1995 earnings were reduced by the rising interest rates
experienced in 1995.



The following table shows the rate sensitivity gaps for different time periods
as of December 31, 1997:

         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 POSITION AND DIVIDENDS

         CAPITAL. At December 31, 1997, total stockholders' equity was
$24,817,000 or 7.1% of total assets, which compares with $21,252,000 or 7.7% of
total assets at December 31, 1996, and $18,398,000 or 8.1% of total assets at
December 31, 1995. The dollar increase in stockholders' equity during 1997
reflects (i) the Company's net income of $3,664,000 less cash dividends of $.75
per share totaling $1,039,000, (ii) the issuance of 29,393 shares of common
stock for $902,000 in lieu of payment of cash dividends and (iii) increase in
the net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities of $38,000.

         The Company's principal regulators have established minimum risk-based
capital requirements and leverage capital requirements for the Company and its
subsidiary banks. These guidelines classify capital into two categories of Tier
I and Total risk-based capital. Total risk-based capital consists of

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Tier I (or core) capital (essentially common equity less intangible assets) and
Tier II capital (essentially qualifying long-term debt, of which the Company and
subsidiary banks have none, and a part of the allowance for possible loan
losses). In determining risk-based capital requirements, assets are assigned
risk-weights of 0% to 100%, depending on regulatory assigned levels of credit
risk associated with such assets. The risk-based capital guidelines require the
subsidiary banks 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%. At December 31, 1997 the
Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 13.4% and its Tier I risk-based
capital ratio was 12.2%, respectively, compared to a ratios of 15.0% and 13.7%,
respectively at December 31, 1996. The required Tier I leverage capital ratio
(Tier I capital to average assets for the most recent quarter) for the Company
is 4%. At December 31, 1997, the Company had a leverage ratio of 8.2% compared
to 9.2% at December 31, 1996.

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. The subsidiary banks
are Tennessee state chartered banks, and are 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.

         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. 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.

         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 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 a national bank with its main office in
Tennessee.

         The Company and the subsidiary banks 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 the
subsidiary banks, on investments in the stock or other securities of the Company
or the subsidiary banks, and on taking such stock or other securities as
collateral for loans of any borrower.

         FDICIA. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
of 1991

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


("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. 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. The subsidiary banks currently
meet the requirements for "well capitalized" status.

         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" institu-tion may be subject to a
number of additional requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell
sufficient voting stock to become "adequately capitalized," requirements to
reduce total assets and 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 standards for
all insured depository institutions and their holding companies relating to
internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan
documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth,
compensation, a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings
sufficient to absorb losses, a minimum ratio of market value to book value for
publicly traded shares and such other standards as the agencies deem
appropriate.

         As a result of a federal law enacted in 1991 requiring each federal
banking agency to revise its risk-based capital standards to insure that those
standards take adequate account of interest rate risk, concentration of credit
risk and the risks of non-traditional activities, each of the federal banking
agencies has revised the risk-based capital guidelines described above to take
account of concentration of credit risk and risk of non-traditional activities.
In addition, the Board and the FDIC recently adopted a new rule that amended,
effective September 1, 1995, the capital standards to include explicitly a
bank's exposure to declines in the economic value of its capital due to changes
in interest rates as a factor to be considered in evaluating a bank's capital
adequacy. This rule does not codify a measurement framework for assessing the
level of a bank's interest rate exposure. These agencies, together with the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have issued for comment a joint policy
statement that describes the process to be used to measure and assess the
exposure of a bank's net economic value to changes in interest rates. These
agencies have indicated that they intend to issue a proposed rule that would
establish an explicit minimum capital charge for interest rate risk based on the
level of a bank's measured interest rate exposure. The agencies intend to
implement the proposed rule after they and the banking industry have had more
experience with the proposed supervisory and measurement process.

         Pursuant to FDICIA, the FDIC has established a risk-based assessment
system for deposit insurance. Under the risk-based assessment regulations,
insured institutions such as the Subsidiary Banks, are assigned an assessment
risk classification based upon capital levels and supervisory evaluations. On
August 8, 1995, the FDIC voted to reduce the assessment rates paid by

most banks. Under the revised rate structure, the best-rated banks would pay an
assessment at 0.04% of insured deposits, while the weakest banks would continue
to pay at a 0.31% rate. The revised rate structure became effective on a
retroactive basis as of June 1, 1995. As a result of the revised rate structure,
the Company received a refund of $111,000 in the third quarter of 1995. On
November 14, 1995, the FDIC further reduced the rate structure starting in
January, 1996. Under the 1996 rate structure, the best rated banks will pay only
the statutory minimum assessment of $2,000 per year while the weakest banks will
pay at a rate of 0.27% of insured deposits. Wilson Bank and Trust paid the
statutory annual minimum assessment of $2,000 per year and DeKalb Community Bank
paid $1,000 for the half year it was in operation. Effective January 1, 1997 the
banks were assessed an annual assessment of .01296% of insured deposits.

         Management is not aware of any current recommendations by the
regulatory authorities which, if implemented, would have a material effect on
the Registrant's liquidity, capital resources or operations.

         The Company plans to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130 (SFAS 130) "Reporting Comprehensive Income" during the first quarter of
1998. The Company plans to present an additional financial statement which
reports comprehensive income. The primary difference between reported earnings
and comprehensive income will be unrealized gains and losses related to certain
investment securities.

         Monetary Policy. The subsidiary banks are 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. These means are used in varying combinations to influence
overall growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and may also affect
interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The monetary policies of
the Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial
banks, including nonmembers 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 immaterial when reviewing the Company's results of operations.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

The Board of Directors
Wilson Bank Holding Company

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wilson Bank
Holding Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997.
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 generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995

(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The accounting and reporting policies of Wilson Bank Holding Company
         and Subsidiaries are in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles 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, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wilson Bank & Trust,
                  Hometown Finance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wilson
                  Bank & Trust, DeKalb Community Bank, a 50% owned subsidiary,
                  and Community Bank of Smith County, a 50% owned subsidiary.
                  DeKalb Community Bank and Community Bank of Smith County were
                  organized in 1996. All significant intercompany accounts and
                  transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         (b)      NATURE OF OPERATIONS

                  Wilson Bank & Trust, DeKalb Community Bank and Community Bank
                  of Smith County operate under state bank charters and provide
                  full banking services. Wilson Bank & Trust also provides trust
                  services. As state banks, the subsidiary banks are subject to
                  regulations of the Tennessee Department of Financial
                  Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
                  The areas served by the banks include Wilson County, DeKalb
                  County, Smith County and Trousdale County, Tennessee and
                  surrounding counties in Middle Tennessee. Services are
                  provided at the three main offices and eight 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.

         (d)      LOANS

                  Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Unearned
                  discount, deferred loan fees net of loan acquisition costs,
                  and the allowance for possible loan losses are shown as
                  reductions of loans. Loan origination and commitment fees and
                  certain loan-related costs are being deferred and the net
                  amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield
                  over the contractual life of the loan. Unearned discount
                  represents the unamortized amount of finance charges,
                  principally related to certain installment loans. Interest
                  income on most loans is accrued based on the principal amount
                  outstanding.

                  The Company adopted, on a prospective basis effective January
                  1, 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
                  No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan"
                  and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
                  Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." These
                  pronouncements apply to impaired loans except for large groups
                  of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are collectively
                  evaluated for impairment including residential mortgage and
                  installment loans.

                           WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995



(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

         (d)      LOANS, CONTINUED

                  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 possible loan
                  losses or by adjusting an existing valuation allowance for the
                  impaired loan with a corresponding charge or credit to the
                  provision for possible loan losses.

                  The Company's installment loans are divided into various
                  groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are
                  collectively evaluated for impairment and, thus, are not
                  subject to the provisions of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118.
                  Substantially all other loans of the Company are evaluated for
                  impairment under the provisions of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118.

                  The Company considers all loans on nonaccrual status 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 along with
                  various other factors to determine if a loan is impaired.
                  Generally, delinquencies under 90 days are considered
                  insignificant unless certain other factors are present which
                  indicate impairment is probable. The decision to place a loan
                  on nonaccrual status is also based on an evaluation of the
                  borrower's financial condition, collateral, liquidation value,
                  and other factors that affect the borrower's ability to pay.

                  Generally, at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status,
                  all interest accrued and uncollected on the loan in the
                  current fiscal year is reversed from income, and all interest
                  accrued and uncollected from the prior year is charged off
                  against the allowance for possible 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.

(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

         (d)      LOANS, CONTINUED

                  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 POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

                  The provision for possible loan losses represents a charge to
                  earnings necessary, after loan charge-offs and recoveries, to
                  maintain the allowance for possible 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 quarterly 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 possible 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.

                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995



(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

         (e)      ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES, CONTINUED

                  The allowance for possible loan losses is increased by
                  provisions for possible loan losses charged to expense and is
                  reduced (increased) 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 adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
                  Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
                  Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", effective January
                  1, 1994. Under the provisions of the Statement, 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.

                  -        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.

                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995



(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

         (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)      LONG-LIVED ASSETS

                  In March, 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
                  (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
                  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," was
                  issued. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and
                  certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used or
                  disposed of by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
                  events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
                  amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During 1996, the
                  company adopted this statement and determined that no
                  impairment loss need be recognized for its long-lived assets.

         (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. The Company maintains
                  deposits with other financial institutions in excess of the
                  Federal insurance amounts. Management makes deposits only with
                  financial institutions it considers to be financially sound.

         (k)      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 Statement
                  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
                  Income Taxes." 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 its wholly-owned subsidiaries file a
                  consolidated Federal income tax return. The 50% owned
                  subsidiaries file a separate Federal income tax return but are
                  included in the Company's consolidated state income tax
                  return. Each subsidiary provides for income taxes on a
                  separate-return basis.

(1)      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

         (l)      EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

                  Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings
                  by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
                  during each year.

         (m)      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.

         (n)      RECLASSIFICATIONS

                  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 and 1995
                  figures to conform to the presentation for 1997.

         (o)      OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

                  In the ordinary course of business the subsidiary 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.

(2)      LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

</TABLE>

         At December 31, 1997, variable rate and fixed rate loans total
         $99,020,000 and $143,232,000, respectively. At December 31, 1996,
         variable rate loans were $71,874,000 and fixed rate loans totaled
         $115,916,000.

         In the normal course of business, the Company's subsidiary has made
         loans at prevailing interest rates and terms to directors and executive
         officers of the Company and to their affiliates. The aggregate amount
         of these loans was $4,494,000 and $3,105,000 at December 31, 1997 and

(2)      LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES, CONTINUED

         Of the loans sold in the secondary market, the recourse to the
         wholly-owned subsidiary Bank is limited. On loans sold to the Federal
         Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Bank has a recourse obligation for
         one year from the purchase date. At December 31, 1997, loans sold to
         the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation with existing recourse
         totaled $2,443,000. All other loans sold in the secondary market
         provide the purchase recourse to the Bank for a period of 90 days from
         the date of purchase and only in the event of a default by the borrower
         pursuant to the terms of the individual loan agreement. At December 31,
         1997, total loans sold with recourse to the Bank, including those sold
         to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, aggregated $14,348,000.
         Management expects no loss to result from these recourse provisions.

(3)      DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES, CONTINUED

         The Company periodically applies the stress test to its securities
         portfolio. To satisfy the stress test a security's estimated market
         value should not decline more than certain percentages given certain
         assumed interest rate increases. The Company had no securities that
         failed to meet the stress test.

         Securities carried in the balance sheet of approximately $41,803,000
         (approximate market value of $42,037,000) and $41,451,000 (approximate
         market value of $41,546,000), were pledged to secure public deposits
         and for other purposes as required or permitted by law at December 31,
         1997 and 1996, respectively.

         Included in the securities above are $18,547,000 (market value of
         $18,819,000) and $16,220,000 (market value of $16,399,000) at December
         31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, in obligations of political
         subdivisions located within the State of Tennessee. Management
         purchases only obligations of such political subdivisions it considers
         to be financially sound.

         Securities that have rates that adjust prior to maturity totaled
         $5,742,000 (market value $5,755,000) at December 31, 1997.

         Included in the securities portfolio is stock of the Federal Home Loan
         Bank amounting to $847,000 and $708,000 at December 31, 1997 and 1996,
         respectively. The stock can be sold back at par and only to the Federal
         Home Loan Bank or to another member institution.

         Total income tax expense for 1995 includes an income tax benefit of
         $10,000 related to the loss on sale of securities. There were no sales
         of securities in 1997 and 1996.

(9)      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.

         During the year ended December 31, 1993, a subsidiary bank entered into
         an operating lease agreement for the land on which a branch facility is
         located. The agreement is for a period of five years and can be renewed
         for up to ten additional terms of five years each. In the fourth year,
         the lease is to be adjusted for the annual rate of inflation as
         determined by the Consumer Price Index. In August, 1994, the
         wholly-owned subsidiary of the bank subsidiary entered into an
         operating lease agreement for a building. The agreement is for a period
         of three years and can be renewed for an additional term of five years.
         During the year ending December 31, 1995, the subsidiary entered into
         an operating lease agreement for facilities related to the operation of
         a new branch. The agreement is for a period of five years and can be
         renewed for up to two consecutive five year terms. During 1996, one of
         the 50% owned bank subsidiaries entered into an operating lease
         agreement for a building. The agreement is for one year with a six
         month renewal option. The subsidiary bank also leases land on which a
         stand-alone automatic teller machine is located. Future minimum rental
         payments required under the terms of the noncancellable leases are as
         follows:

(9)      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, CONTINUED

         Total rent expense amounted to $80,000, $59,000 and $40,000,
         respectively, during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

(10)     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.

</TABLE>

         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.

                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995



(11)     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
         the subsidiary banks. 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, 1997 and 1996, the Company's cash and due from banks
         included commercial bank deposit accounts aggregating $78,000 and
         $96,000, respectively in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance
         Corporation limit of $100,000 per institution.

         In addition, Federal funds sold were deposited with five banks.

(12)     EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

         The Company has in effect a 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 plan provide for both employee and employer
         contributions. For the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,
         the Bank contributed $271,000, $188,000 and $127,000, respectively, to
         this plan.

(13)     DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

         Under the terms of the Company's dividend reinvestment plan 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 29,393 in 1997,
         28,458 in 1996 and 30,482 in 1995 were sold to participants under the
         terms of the plan.

(14)     REGULATORY MATTERS AND RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS

         The Company and its bank subsidiaries 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 Bank's capital status and the amount of
         dividends the subsidiary may distribute. At December 31, 1997,
         management believes that the Company and all of its subsidiaries meet
         all such capital requirements to which they are subject.

         The Company and its subsidiary banks are required to maintain minimum
         amounts of capital to total "risk weighted" assets, as defined by the
         banking regulators. At December 31, 1997, the Company and its bank
         subsidiaries are required to have minimum Tier I and total risk-based
         capital ratios of 4% and 8%, respectively. The Company's actual ratios
         at that date were 12.15% and 13.40%, respectively. The leverage ratio
         at December 31, 1997 was 8.21% and the minimum requirements was 4%.

(15)     DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

         The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary bank provides its executive
         officers a deferred compensation plan, which also provides for death
         and disability benefits. The 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 four employees participating in the plan at
         December 31, 1997.

         The plan provides retirement benefits for a period of 180 months after
         the employee reaches the age of 65. This benefit can be reduced if the
         wholly-owned subsidiaries Bank's average return on assets falls below
         1%. The plan also provides benefits in the event the executive should
         die or become disabled prior to reaching retirement. The wholly-owned
         subsidiary bank has purchased insurance policies or other assets to
         provide the benefits listed above. The insurance policies remain the
         sole property of the wholly-owned subsidiary bank and are payable to
         the Bank. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the deferred compensation
         liability totaled $43,000 and $24,000, respectively, the cash surrender
         value of life insurance was $181,000 and $122,000, respectively, and
         the face amount of the insurance policies in force approximated
         $1,480,000 in 1997 and 1996. The deferred compensation plan is not
         qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(17)     DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 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.

                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995



(17)     DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED

                Loans, Continued

                  The fair value of the various categories of loans is estimated
                  by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates
                  at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
                  credit ratings and for the same remaining average estimated
                  maturities.

                  The estimated maturity for mortgages is modified from the
                  contractual terms to give consideration to management's
                  experience with prepayments. Management has made estimates of
                  fair value discount rates that it believes to be reasonable.
                  However, because there is no market for many of these
                  financial instruments, management has no basis to determine
                  whether the fair value presented below would be indicative of
                  the value negotiated in an actual sale.

                  The value of the loan portfolio is also discounted in
                  consideration of the credit quality of the loan portfolio as
                  would be the case between willing buyers and sellers.
                  Particular emphasis has been given to loans on the subsidiary
                  banks' internal watch list. Valuation of these loans is based
                  upon borrower performance, collateral values (including
                  external appraisals), etc.

                Deposit Liabilities

                  The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and
                  certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand
                  at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity
                  certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently
                  offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Under
                  the provision of SFAS No. 107 the fair value estimates for
                  deposits does not include the benefit that results from the
                  low cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared
                  to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.

                Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements

                  The securities sold under repurchase agreements are payable
                  upon demand. For this reason the carrying amount is a
                  reasonable estimate of fair value.

                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 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 up to three 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,
                  1997 are insignificant. Accordingly, these commitments have no
                  carrying value and management estimates the commitments to
                  have no significant fair value.

                  The carrying value and estimated fair values of the Company's
                  financial instruments at December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as

                        DECEMBER 31, 1997, 1996 AND 1995



(17)     DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED

                Limitations

                  Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time,
                  based on relevant market information and information about the
                  financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any
                  premium or discount that could result from offering for sale
                  at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular
                  financial instrument. Because no market exists for a
                  significant portion of the Company's financial instruments,
                  fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future
                  expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk
                  characteristics of various financial instruments, and other
                  factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve
                  uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and
                  therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in
                  assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

                  Fair value estimates are based on estimating
                  on-and-off-balance sheet financial instruments without
                  attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future
                  business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not
                  considered financial instruments. For example, a subsidiary
                  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.
