WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business — Wilson Bank Holding Company (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose primary business is conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wilson Bank & Trust (the “Bank”). The Bank is a commercial bank headquartered in Lebanon, Tennessee. The Bank provides a full range of banking services in its primary market areas of Wilson, Davidson, Rutherford, Trousdale, Dekalb, and Smith Counties, Tennessee.
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All adjustments consisting of normally recurring accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods covered by the report have been included. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in the 2009 Annual Report previously filed on Form 10-K.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting Standards Codification — In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 . This statement modifies the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) hierarchy by establishing only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and nonauthoritative accounting literature. Effective July 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), also known collectively as the “Codification,” is considered the single source of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards, except for additional authoritative rules and interpretive releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Nonauthoritative guidance and literature would include, among other things, FASB Concepts Statements, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Issue Papers and Technical Practice Aids and accounting textbooks. The Codification was developed to organize GAAP pronouncements by topic so that users can more easily access authoritative accounting guidance. It is organized by topic, subtopic, section, and paragraph, each of which is identified by a numerical designation. FASB ASC 105-10, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” became applicable beginning in the third quarter of 2009. All accounting references have been updated, and therefore SFAS references have been replaced with ASC references except for SFAS references that have not been integrated into the Codification.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, determination of any impairment of intangibles, other-than-temporary impairment of securities, the valuation of other real estate, and the fair value of financial instruments.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 860 Transfers and Servicing — amended previous guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets. The amended guidance eliminates the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities and requires that these entities be evaluated for consolidation under applicable accounting guidance, and it also removes the exception that permitted sale accounting for certain mortgage securitizations when control over the transferred assets had not been surrendered. Based on this new standard, many types of transferred financial assets that would previously have been derecognized will now remain on the transferor’s financial statements. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures about transfers of financial assets and the transferor’s continuing involvement with those assets and related risk exposure. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2010. Adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Also in June 2009, the FASB issued amended guidance on accounting for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). This guidance replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise might have a controlling financial interest in a VIE. The new, more qualitative evaluation focuses on who has the power to direct the significant economic activities of the VIE and also who has the obligation to absorb losses or rights to receive benefits from the VIE. It also requires an ongoing reassessment of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and calls for certain expanded disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities. The new guidance was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2010. The new guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In the first quarter of 2010, the FASB updated Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855) — Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This guidance amends FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events , so that SEC filers no longer are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. SEC filers must evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued.
Also during the first quarter of 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair-value measurements. This guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives . ASU 2010-11 amends ASC 815 to provide clarifying language regarding when embedded credit derivative features are not considered embedded derivatives subject to potential bifurcation and separate accounting. The provisions of ASU 2010-11 are effective for periods beginning after June 15, 2010 and require re-evaluation of certain preexisting contracts to determine whether the accounting for such contracts is consistent with the amended guidance in ASU 2010-11. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument upon adoption of the amendments to ASC 815, re-evaluation of such preexisting contracts is not required. The Company is currently assessing the effects of adopting the provisions of ASU 2010-20.

Table of Contents

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses . ASU 2010-20 provides enhanced disclosures related to the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses, and provides that new and existing disclosures should be disaggregated based on how an entity develops its allowance for credit losses and how it manages credit exposures. Under the provisions of ASU 2010-20, additional disclosures required for financing receivables include information regarding the aging of past due receivables, credit quality indicators, and modifications of financing receivables. The provisions of ASU 2010-20 are effective for periods ending after December 15, 2010, with the exception of the amendments to the roll forward of the allowance for credit losses and the disclosures about modifications which are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Comparative disclosures are required only for periods ending subsequent to initial adoption. The Company is currently assessing the effects of adopting the provisions of ASU 2010-20 and will provide the required disclosure in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2010.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had certain impaired loans of $24,774,000 which were on non accruing interest status. At December 31, 2009, the Company had certain impaired loans of $25,514,000 which were on non accruing interest status. In each case, at the date such loans were placed on nonaccrual status, the Company reversed all previously accrued interest income against current year earnings.
Impaired loans also include loans that the Company may elect to formally restructure due to the weakening credit status of a borrower such that the restructuring may facilitate a repayment plan that minimizes the potential losses that the Company may have to otherwise incur. These loans are classified as impaired loans and, if on non accruing status as of the date of restructuring, the loans are included in nonperforming loans. Nonperforming restructured loans will remain as nonperforming until the borrower can demonstrate adherence to the restructured terms for a term of no less than six months and it is otherwise determined that continued adherence is reasonably assured. Some restructured loans continue as accruing loans after restructuring due to the borrower not being past due, adequate collateral valuations supporting the restructured loans and/or the cash flows of the underlying business appearing adequate to support the restructured debt service. Once a relationship is classified as a restructured loan and in accordance with industry practice, the relationship will remain classified as a restructured loan until the borrower can demonstrate adherence to the restructured terms through the end of the current fiscal year. Not included in nonperforming loans are loans that have been restructured that were performing as of the restructure date. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 there were $8.9 million of accruing restructured loans that remain in a performing status.
Potential problem loans, which are not included in nonperforming assets, amounted to approximately $41.9 million at September 30, 2010 compared to $33.1 million at December 31, 2009. Potential problem loans represent those loans with a well defined weakness and where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with present repayment terms. This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Company’s primary federal regulator, for loans classified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful, excluding the impact of nonperforming loans.
At September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $13.6 million of mortgage loans held-for-sale compared to approximately $5.0 million at December 31, 2009. These loans are marketed to potential investors prior to closing the loan with the borrower such that there is an agreement for the subsequent sale of the loan between the eventual investor and the Company prior to the loan being closed with the borrower. The Company sells loans to investors on a loan-by-loan basis and has not entered into any forward commitments with investors for future loan sales. All of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized $780,000 and $1,501,000, respectively, in gains on the sale of these loans compared to $365,000 and $2,088,000, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

At September 30, 2010, the Company had $11,666,000 in other real estate owned which had been acquired, usually through foreclosure, from borrowers compared to $3,924,000 at December 31, 2009. Substantially all of these amounts relate to homes and commercial real estate for which the Company believes it has adequate collateral based on recent appraisals. The other real estate owned is initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell. These fair values are periodically updated based on new appraisals and other information.

The applicable date for determining when securities are in an unrealized loss position was September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As such, it is possible that a security had a market value that exceeded its amortized cost on other days during the past twelve-month period.
The unrealized losses associated with these investment securities are primarily driven by changes in interest rates and are not due to the credit quality of the securities. These securities will continue to be monitored as a part of our ongoing impairment analysis, but are expected to perform even if the rating agencies reduce the credit rating of the bond insurers. Management evaluates the financial performance of the issuers on a quarterly basis to determine if it is probable that the issuers can make all contractual principal and interest payments.
Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2010.
The carrying values of the Company’s investment securities could decline in the future if the financial condition of issuers deteriorate and management determines it is probable that the Company will not recover the entire amortized cost bases of the securities. As a result, there is a risk that other-than-temporary impairment charges may occur in the future given the current economic environment.
Note 4. Earnings Per Share
The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the Company begins with the basic earnings per share plus the effect of common shares contingently issuable from stock options.
The following is a summary of components comprising basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” FASB ASC 820, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is expected to increase the consistency of those measurements. The definition of fair value focuses on the exit price, i.e., the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not the entry price, i.e., the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, the fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Valuation Hierarchy
FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 —inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 —inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 —inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Assets
Securities available for sale — Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities and certain other products. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Impaired loans — A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected payments using the loan’s original effective rate as the discount rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. If the recorded investment in the impaired loan exceeds the measure of fair value, a valuation allowance may be established as a component of the allowance for loan losses or the expense is recognized as a charge-off. Impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Other real estate — Other real estate, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, is initially recorded at fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs. At the time of foreclosure, any excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the real estate held as collateral is treated as a charge against the allowance for loan losses. Gains or losses on sale and any subsequent adjustments to the fair value are recorded as a component of foreclosed real estate expense. Other real estate is included in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Other assets — Included in other assets are certain assets carried at fair value, including the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance policies. The carrying amount of the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance is based on information received from the insurance carriers indicating the financial performance of the policies and the amount the Company would receive should the policies be surrendered. The Company reflects these assets within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following tables present the financial instruments carried at fair value as of September 30, 2010, by caption on the consolidated balance sheets and by FASB ASC 820 valuation hierarchy (as described above) (dollars in thousands)

Changes in level 3 fair value measurements
The table below includes a roll forward of the balance sheet amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (including the change in fair value) for financial instruments classified by the Company within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurements. However, since Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources), the gains and losses in the table below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flow models. Those models are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The use of different methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Such amounts have not been revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
Cash, Due From Banks and Federal Funds Sold —The carrying amounts of cash, due from banks, and federal funds sold approximate their fair value.
Securities held to maturity —Estimated fair values for securities held to maturity are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Loans —For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values approximate carrying values. For other loans, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow models, using current market interest rates offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow models or based on the fair value of the underlying collateral.
Mortgage loans held-for-sale —Mortgage loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The inputs for valuation of these assets are based on the anticipated sales price of these loans as the loans are usually sold within a few weeks of their origination.
Deposits, Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, Federal Home Loan Bank Advances —The carrying amounts of demand deposits, savings deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, floating rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and floating rate subordinated debt approximate their fair values. Fair values for certificates of deposit and fixed rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank are estimated using discounted cash flow models, using current market interest rates offered on certificates, advances and other borrowings with similar remaining maturities.

The Company’s future operating results depend on a number of factors which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The accounting principles we follow and our methods of applying these principles conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with general practices within the banking industry. In connection with the application of those principles, we have made judgments and estimates which, in the case of the determination of our allowance for loan losses and the assessment of impairment of the intangibles resulting from our mergers with Dekalb Community Bank and Community Bank of Smith County in 2005 have been critical to the determination of our financial position and results of operations.
Allowance for Loan Losses (“allowance”). Our management assesses the adequacy of the allowance prior to the end of each calendar quarter. This assessment includes procedures to estimate the allowance and test the adequacy and appropriateness of the resulting balance. The level of the allowance is based upon management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience, current asset quality trends, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payment), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, economic conditions, industry and peer bank loan quality indications and other pertinent factors, including regulatory recommendations. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. Loan losses are charged off when management believes that the full collectability of the loan is unlikely. A loan may be partially charged-off after a “confirming event” has occurred which serves to validate that full repayment pursuant to the terms of the loan is unlikely. Allocation of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, is deemed to be uncollectible.
A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Collection of all amounts due according to the contractual terms means that both the interest and principal payments of a loan will be collected as scheduled in the loan agreement.

Table of Contents

An impairment allowance is recognized if the fair value of the loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (recorded investment in the loan is the principal balance plus any accrued interest, net of deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount). The impairment is recognized through the allowance. Loans that are impaired are recorded at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or if the loan is collateral dependent, impairment measurement is based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated disposal costs. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company recognizes an impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses or by adjusting an existing valuation allowance for the impaired loan with a corresponding charge or credit to the provision for loan losses. Management believes it follows appropriate accounting and regulatory guidance in determining impairment and accrual status of impaired loans.
The level of allowance maintained is believed by management to be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off.
In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, we also consider the results of our ongoing independent loan review process. We undertake this process both to ascertain whether there are loans in the portfolio whose credit quality has weakened over time and to assist in our overall evaluation of the risk characteristics of the entire loan portfolio. Our loan review process includes the judgment of management, the input from our independent loan reviewers, and reviews that may have been conducted by bank regulatory agencies as part of their usual examination process. We incorporate loan review results in the determination of whether or not it is probable that we will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a loan.
As part of management’s quarterly assessment of the allowance, management divides the loan portfolio into twelve segments based on bank call reporting requirements. Each segment is then analyzed such that an allocation of the allowance is estimated for each loan segment.
The allowance allocation begins with a process of estimating the probable losses inherent for these types of loans. The estimates for these loans are established by loan category and are based on our historical loss data for that category.
The estimated loan loss allocation for all twelve loan portfolio segments is then adjusted for several “environmental” factors. The allocation for environmental factors is particularly subjective and does not lend itself to exact mathematical calculation. This amount represents estimated probable inherent credit losses which exist, but have not yet been identified, as of the balance sheet date, and are based upon quarterly trend assessments in delinquent and nonaccrual loans, unanticipated charge-offs, credit concentration changes, prevailing economic conditions, changes in lending personnel experience, changes in lending policies or procedures and other influencing factors. These environmental factors are considered for each of the twelve loan segments and the allowance allocation, as determined by the processes noted above for each component, is increased or decreased based on the incremental assessment of these various environmental factors.
The assessment also includes an unallocated component. We believe that the unallocated amount is warranted for inherent factors that cannot be practically assigned to individual loan categories. An example is the imprecision in the overall measurement process, in particular the volatility of the national and local economy.
We then test the resulting allowance by comparing the balance in the allowance to industry and peer information. Our management then evaluates the result of the procedures performed, including the result of our testing, and concludes on the appropriateness of the balance of the allowance in its entirety. The board of directors reviews and approves the assessment prior to the filing of quarterly and annual financial information.
Impairment of Intangible Assets — Long-lived assets, including purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, such as our core deposit intangible asset, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.

Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are evaluated for impairment annually and are evaluated for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. That annual assessment date is December 31. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. The goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step test. The first step, used to identify potential impairment, involves comparing each reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired. If the carrying value exceeds estimated fair value, there is an indication of potential impairment and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment.
If required, the second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated potential impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to the amount of goodwill calculated in a business combination, by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, as determined in the first step, over the aggregate estimated fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit, and the loss establishes a new basis in the goodwill.
Results of Operations
Net earnings decreased 24.0% to $7,340,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $9,660,000 in the first nine months of 2009. Net earnings were $3,100,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $62,000, or 2.0%, from $3,162,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and an increase of $1,445,000, or 87.3%, over the quarter ended June 30, 2010. Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were negatively impacted by the increase in provision for loan losses of $5,643,000, or 124.7%, over the prior year’s comparable period. See “Provision for Loan Losses” for further explanation. Net interest margin for both the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 3.7%, and the net interest margin was 3.7% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to 3.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and 3.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
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. The Company’s total interest income, excluding tax equivalent adjustments relating to tax exempt securities, decreased $3,508,000, or 5.7%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Total interest income decreased $1,597,000, or 7.8%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and decreased $750,000, or 3.8%, over the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in the first nine months of 2010 was primarily attributable to the continuing impact of low interest rate policies initiated by the Federal Reserve Board and the negative impact of higher non-accrual loan balances along with growth in the lower yielding securities portfolio. The ratio of average earnings assets to total average assets was 95.4% and 95.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Interest expense decreased $4,795,000, or 20.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Interest expense decreased $1,760,000, or 23.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Interest expense decreased $446,000, or 7.1%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 over the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The decrease for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the prior year’s comparable periods was primarily due to a decrease in the rates paid on deposits, particularly time deposits, reflecting the rate cuts by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee and a shift in the mix of deposits from certificates of deposits to transaction and money market accounts.
The foregoing resulted in an increase in net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, of $1,287,000, or 3.4%, for the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 and an increase of $163,000, or 1.3%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and a decrease of $304,000, or 2.3%, when compared to the second quarter of 2010.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $10,168,000 and $4,525,000 for the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. The provision for loan losses during the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,989,000 and $1,164,000, respectively. The increase in the provision in the first nine months of 2010 related to the Company’s decision to increase the allowance for loan losses during the 2010 period due to the continued weakening of economic conditions in the Company’s market areas, generally, and in the residential real estate construction and development area, specifically. Borrowers that are home builders and developers and sub dividers of land began experiencing stress in 2008 and have continued to experience stress in the first nine months of 2010 as a result of declining residential real estate demand and resulting price and collateral value declines in the Company’s market areas. As a result, the Company increased its allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is based on past loan experience and other factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible loan losses. Such factors include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, review of specific problem loans, review of updated appraisals and borrower financial information, the recommendations of the Bank’s regulators, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. Management has in place a system designed for monitoring its loan portfolio and identifying potential problem loans. The provision for loan losses in the first nine months of 2010 raised the allowance for possible loan losses (net of charge-offs and recoveries) to $21,010,000, an increase of 26.2% from $16,647,000 at December 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses was 1.91%, 1.96%, 1.57%, and 1.49% of total loans at September 30, 2010, June 30, 2010, March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Management believes the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010 to be adequate, but if economic conditions deteriorate beyond management’s current expectations and additional charge-offs are incurred, the allowance for loan losses may require an increase through additional provision for loan losses which would negatively impact earnings.
Non-Interest Income
The components of the Company’s non-interest income include service charges on deposit accounts, other fees and commissions and gain on sale of loans. Total non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased 2.9% to $10,363,000 from $10,672,000 for the same period in 2009 and increased $561,000, or 17.4%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 when compared to the third quarter of 2009. Non-interest income increased $231,000, or 6.5%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 when compared to the second quarter of 2010. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the comparable period in 2009 related primarily to a reduction in gain on sale of loans reflecting the decrease in mortgage originations and refinancing occurring during the first nine months of 2010. Gain on sale of loans decreased $587,000, or 28.1%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $237,000, or 5.5%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 and decreased $128,000, or 8.5%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 as a result of consumers slowing their spending due to the current economic environment. Other fees and commissions increased $755,000, or 19.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The increase was $274,000, or 20.4%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009 and there was an increase of $52,000, or 3.3%, over the second quarter of 2010. Other fees and commissions include income on brokerage accounts, insurance policies sold and various other fees.

Non-Interest Expenses
Non-interest expenses consist primarily of employee costs, occupancy expenses, furniture and equipment expenses, advertising and marketing expenses, data processing expenses, director’s fees, loss on sale of other real estate, and other operating expenses. Total non-interest expenses decreased $854,000, or 3.1%, during the first nine months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $51,000, or 0.5%, as compared to the comparable quarter in 2009 and this was an increase of $1,572,000, or 19.2%, as compared to the second quarter of 2010. The decrease in non-interest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 is attributable primarily to a decrease in employee salaries and benefits. Due to the current economic conditions, the Company is uncertain as to the amount of bonus and profit sharing which may be paid to its employees as a result of performance, if any, at the end of 2010. Because of this uncertainty, the Company chose not to accrue for a bonus and profit sharing benefit during the first six months of 2010. Substantially all of the reduction in salaries and employee benefits results from this decision as the total number of full time equivalent employees is roughly equal for the 2010 and 2009 periods. The Company did accrue for year-end benefits during the third quarter of 2010 which contributed to the increase in non-interest expense in the third quarter of 2010 when compared to the second quarter of 2010. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased to $5,929,000 from $5,436,000 for the comparable period in 2009. Other operating expenses increased $374,000, or 22.0%, during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. The increase in other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related primarily to an increase in the costs associated with the disposal and maintenance of other real estate. The Bank’s other real estate expenses continue to rise due to the increased amount of foreclosures resulting from current economic conditions.
Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax expense was $4,688,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $1,491,000 over the comparable period in 2009. Income tax expense was $2,022,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $12,000 over the same period in 2009. The percentage of income tax expense to net income before taxes was 39.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 and 39.5% and 38.9% for the quarters ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The percentage of income tax expense to net income before taxes was 38.6% for the second quarter of 2010.
Financial Condition
Balance Sheet Summary
The Company’s total assets increased 2.8% to $1,504,785,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $1,464,008,000 at December 31, 2009. Total assets decreased $19,921,000 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and decreased $2,271,000 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2010 after increasing $62,969,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010. Loans, net of allowance for loan losses, totaled $1,079,559,000 at September 30, 2010, a 1.7% decrease compared to $1,098,614,000 at December 31, 2009. Net loans increased $2,447,000, or 0.2% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and decreased $13,154,000, or 1.2%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. Securities increased $25,788,000, or 9.8%, to $287,605,000 at September 30, 2010 from $261,817,000 at December 31, 2009. Securities decreased $29,382,000, or 9.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2010. Federal funds sold increased to $9,800,000 at September 30, 2010 from $5,450,000 at December 31, 2009, reflecting a growth in deposits that exceeded loan growth.

Total liabilities increased by 2.5% to $1,358,208,000 at September 30, 2010 compared to $1,324,451,000 at December 31, 2009. During the third quarter of 2010, total liabilities decreased $23,079,000 or 1.7%. The increase in total liabilities since December 31, 2009 was composed primarily of a $33,774,000, or 2.6%, increase in total deposits offset by a $271,000, or 4.2%, decrease in securities sold under repurchase agreements. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $13,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as the Bank’s borrowings matured and were paid off.

Generally, at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest accrued on the loan in the current fiscal year is reversed from income, and all interest accrued and uncollected from the prior year is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Thereafter, interest on nonaccrual loans is recognized as interest income only to the extent that cash is received and future collection of principal is not in doubt. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to 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. At September 30, 2010, the Company had nonaccrual loans totaling $24,774,000 as compared to $25,514,000 at December 31, 2009. Nonaccrual loans were $24,480,000 at June 30, 2010 and $29,640,000 at March 31, 2010.
Non-performing loans, which included non-accrual loans and loans 90 days past due but still accruing interest, at September 30, 2010 totaled $27,587,000, a decrease from $29,583,000 at December 31, 2009. The decrease in non-performing loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $1,996,000 is due primarily to an increase in non-performing real estate construction loans of $3,250,000, offset by a decrease in non-performing real estate mortgage loans of $4,159,000, a decrease in non-performing commercial loans of $854,000, and a decrease in non-performing consumer loans of $233,000. The slight decrease in non-performing loans relates primarily to the foreclosure on non-performing loans and the increase in other real estate. Management believes that it is probable that it will incur losses on these loans but believes that these losses should not exceed the amount in the allowance for loan losses already allocated to these loans, unless there is further deterioration of local real estate values.

Other loans may be classified as impaired when the current net worth and financial capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any, is viewed as inadequate. Such loans generally 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.
The increase in impaired loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily related to the continued weakened residential and commercial real estate market in the Company’s market areas. Within this segment of the portfolio, the Company makes loans to, among other borrowers, home builders and developers of land. These borrowers have continued to experience stress during the current weak economic environment due to a combination of declining demand for residential real estate and the resulting price and collateral value declines. In addition, housing starts in the Company’s market areas continue to slow. An extended recessionary period will likely cause the Company’s real estate mortgage loans, which include construction and land development loans, to continue to underperform and may result in increased levels of impaired loans which may negatively impact the Company’s results of operations. The allowance for loan loss related to impaired loans was measured based upon the estimated fair value of related collateral.
Loans are charged-off in the month when they are considered uncollectible. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $5,805,000 as compared to $2,289,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, an increase of 153.6%. The increase in net charge-offs is the result of the Company’s aggressive action of writing down loans where the customers ability to repay is not probable.

The collateral values securing potential problem loans, including impaired loans, based on estimates received by management, total approximately $94,013,000 ($91,473,000 related to real property, $1,687,000 related to commercial loans, and $853,000 related to personal and other loans). The internally classified loans have increased $6,743,000, or 10.8%, from $62,700,000 at December, 31, 2009. 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.
The largest category of internally graded loans at September 30, 2010 was real estate mortgage loans. Included within this category are residential real estate construction and development loans, including loans to home builders and developers of land, as well as one to four family mortgage loans, and commercial real estate loans. Residential real estate and construction loans that are internally classified totaling $67,428,000 and $58,174,000 at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, consist of 237 and 217 individual loans, respectively, that have been graded accordingly due to bankruptcies, inadequate cash flows and delinquencies. Borrowers within this segment have continued to experience stress during the current weak economic environment due to a combination of declining demand for residential real estate and the resulting price and collateral declines. In addition, housing starts in the Company’s market areas continue to slow. An extended recessionary period will likely cause the Company’s real estate mortgage loans to continue to underperform and may result in increased levels of internally graded loans which, if they continue to deteriorate, may negatively impact the Company’s results of operations. Management does not anticipate losses on these loans to exceed the amount already allocated to loan losses, unless there is further deterioration of local real estate values.

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 securities and money market instruments that will mature within one year. At September 30, 2010 the Company’s liquid assets totaled $208,699,000. The Company maintains a formal asset and liability management process to quantify, monitor and control interest rate risk and to assist management in maintaining stability in the net interest margin under varying interest rate environments. The Company accomplishes this process through the development and implementation of lending, funding and pricing strategies designed to maximize net interest income under varying interest rate environments subject to specific liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines.
Analysis of rate sensitivity and rate gap analysis are the primary tools used to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. Included in the analysis are cash flows and maturities of financial instruments held for purposes other than trading, changes in market conditions, loan volumes and pricing and deposit volume and mix. These assumptions are inherently uncertain, and, as a result, net interest income can not be precisely estimated nor can the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income be precisely predicted. Actual results will differ due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management’s strategies, among other factors.
The Company’s primary source of liquidity is a stable core deposit base. In addition, loan payments, investment security maturities and short-term borrowings provide a secondary source.
Interest rate risk (sensitivity) 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 of the Company’s subsidiary bank. These meetings focus on the spread between the Company’s cost of funds and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments.
The Company’s securities portfolio consists of earning assets that provide interest income. For those securities classified as held-to-maturity, the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity or on a long-term basis. Securities classified as available-for-sale include securities intended to be used as part of the Company’s asset/liability strategy and/or securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rate, prepayment risk, the need or desire to increase capital and similar economic factors. At September 30, 2010, securities totaling approximately $6.5 million mature or will be subject to rate adjustments within the next twelve months.
A secondary source of liquidity is the Company’s loan portfolio. At September 30, 2010, loans totaling approximately $308.3 million either will become due or will be subject to rate adjustments within twelve months from the respective date. Continued emphasis will be placed on structuring adjustable rate loans.
As for liabilities, certificates of deposit of $100,000 or greater totaling approximately $195.1 million will become due or reprice during the next twelve months. Historically, there has been no significant reduction in immediately withdrawable accounts such as negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, money market demand accounts, demand deposit accounts and regular savings accounts. Management anticipates that there will be no significant withdrawals from these accounts in the future.

Management believes that with present maturities, the anticipated growth in deposit base, and the efforts of management in its asset/liability management program, liquidity will not pose a problem in the near term future. 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 a materially adverse way.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
At September 30, 2010, we had unfunded loan commitments outstanding of $177.3 million and outstanding standby letters of credit of $17.8 million. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. If needed to fund these outstanding commitments, the Company’s bank subsidiary has the ability to liquidate Federal funds sold or securities available-for-sale or on a short-term basis to borrow and purchase Federal funds from other financial institutions. Additionally, the Company’s bank subsidiary could sell participations in these or other loans to correspondent banks. As mentioned above, the Company’s bank subsidiary has been able to fund its ongoing liquidity needs through its stable core deposit base, loan payments, its investment security maturities and short-term borrowings.
Capital Position and Dividends
At September 30, 2010 total stockholders’ equity was $146,577,000, or 9.7% of total assets, which compares with $139,557,000, or 9.5% of total assets, at December 31, 2009. The dollar increase in stockholders’ equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 results from the Company’s net income of $7,340,000, proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to exercise of stock options of $76,000, the net effect of a $1,721,000 unrealized gain on investment securities net of applicable income taxes of $659,000, cash dividends paid of $4,300,000 of which $3,052,000 was reinvested under the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan, $225,000 relating to the repurchase of 5,969 shares of common stock by the Company, and $15,000 related to stock option compensation.
The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC, 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 and Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined).
As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company and the Bank are considered to be well capitalized under regulatory definitions. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following tables.

Impact of Inflation
Although interest rates are significantly affected by inflation, the inflation rate is immaterial when reviewing the Company’s results of operations.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company’s primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Based upon the nature of the Company’s operations, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk.
Interest rate risk (sensitivity) management focuses on the earnings risk associated with changing interest rates. Management seeks to maintain profitability in both immediate and long-term earnings through funds management/interest rate risk management. The Company’s rate sensitivity position has an important impact on earnings. Senior management of the Company meets monthly to analyze the rate sensitivity position. These meetings focus on the spread between the cost of funds and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments.
There have been no material changes in reported market risks during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
