             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  (Unaudited)


Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The foregoing financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of 
management, all adjustments (comprising only normal recurring accruals) 
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been 
included. A summary of F&M Bancorp's ("Bancorp's") significant accounting 
policies is set forth in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in its 
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Certain reclassifications to prior year balances have been made in the 
accompanying consolidated financial statements to make disclosures consistent 
with those of the current year.

Note 2. Acquisition

On May 29, 1998, Bancorp consummated a merger with Keller-Stonebraker 
Insurance, Inc.  ("KSI"), a Hagerstown, Maryland based, full-line independent 
insurance agency with offices in Hagerstown and Cumberland, MD and Keyser, WV.  
The merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Accordingly, the 
consolidated financial statements have been restated to include the accounts 
of KSI for all periods presented.

</TABLE>

Bancorp classifies its investments in debt and equity securities in two 
categories: held-to-maturity and available-for-sale. Securities classified as 
held-to-maturity are those debt securities that Bancorp has both the positive 
intent and ability to hold to maturity. These securities are carried at cost, 
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are 
recognized as adjustments to interest income using the interest method.

Securities classified as available-for-sale are equity securities with readily 
determinable fair values and those debt securities that Bancorp intends to 
hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. These 
securities may be sold as part of its asset/liability management strategy, or 
in response to significant movements in interest rates, liquidity needs, 
regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. These securities 
are carried at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses reported as a 
separate component of shareholders' equity, net of the related deferred tax 
effect.

Regardless of the classification, dividend and interest income, including 
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts arising at acquisition, 
are included in interest income in the consolidated statements of income. 
Realized gains and losses, if any, determined based on the adjusted cost of 
the specific securities sold, are reported as a separate line item in 
noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investments at June 30, 1998 
by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from 
contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to call or prepay 
obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Note 6.  Comprehensive Income

Bancorp adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board  ("FASB") Statement No. 
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," effective January 1, 1998.  In 
accordance with the requirements of this Statement, comprehensive income and 
its components, as recognized under the accounting standards, are displayed in 
a financial statement with the same prominence as other financial statements.  
As of the June 30, 1998 interim reporting date, unrealized gains (losses) on 
securities is the only item included in other comprehensive income.

Note 7.  Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share ("EPS") data is computed and presented in accordance with 
FASB Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." As prescribed by the Statement, 
the presentation of primary EPS has been replaced with the dual presentation 
of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by 
dividing net income available to common shareholders ("numerator") by the 
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period after 
giving retroactive effect to stock dividends and stock splits ("denominator"). 
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options 
or other contracts to issue common stock or resulted in the issuance of common 
stock that then shared in the earnings of Bancorp. Diluted EPS is equal to the 
numerator divided by the denominator plus the dilutive effect of outstanding 
stock options.

The calculations of earnings per share below are based on weighted average 
number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the 5% stock dividend paid July 29, 
1998.

Note 8.  Future Changes in Accounting Principles

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 
131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". 
This statement requires that public business enterprises report certain 
information about operating segments in complete sets of financial statements 
of the enterprise and in condensed financial statements of interim periods 
issued to shareholders. It also requires that public business enterprises 
report certain information about their products and services, the geographic 
areas in which they operate, their major customers, and the nature of 
differences between reportable segment measurements and those used for the 
consolidated entity. This statement is effective for all periods ending after 
December 15, 1997. Adoption in interim financial statements is not required 
until the year following initial adoption.  Once adopted, however, comparative 
prior period information is required. Adoption of this Statement is not 
expected to have a material impact on Bancorp.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

F&M Bancorp's net income for the second quarter of 1998, including special 
items, was $3.1 million, or $0.49 basic earnings per share, an increase of 8% 
compared with net income of $2.9 million, or $0.46 basic earnings per share, 
for the second quarter of 1997.  Per share and dollar amounts reported 
previously have been restated to give effect to a 5% stock dividend declared 
in June 1998 and the acquisition of Keller-Stonebraker, Inc. completed in May 
1998 and accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Before special items, 
earnings for the second quarter of 1998 increased 10% to $3.2 million, or 
$0.50 basic earnings per share.  Special items reduced current-period earnings 
by $67,000 after tax, or $0.01 per share.  Returns on average assets and 
average equity were 1.19% and 12.16%, respectively, for the second quarter of 
1998 compared with 1.16% and 12.33%, respectively, for the second quarter of 
1997.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998 compare with June 30, 1997, net income 
including special items increased 12% to $6.3 million, or $0.99 basic earnings 
per share, from $5.6 million, or $0.89 basic earnings per share.  Returns on 
average assets and average equity were 1.21% and 12.37%, respectively, for the 
first half of 1998 compared with 1.13% and 12.08%, respectively, for the first 
six months of 1997.

Earnings growth for the current quarter and six-month period was largely 
attributed to loan growth, strong fee income and continued expense control. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, which is the sum of interest and certain fees generated 
by earning assets minus interest paid on deposits and other funding sources, 
is the principal source of Bancorp's earnings, representing approximately 72% 
of Bancorp's gross revenue through the first half of 1998.  Net interest 
income is influenced by a number of external economic and competitive factors 
such as Federal Reserve Board monetary policy and its influence on market 
interest rates; loan demand and competition from nonbank lenders; and 
competition with investment managers, brokerage firms and investment bankers 
for consumer and commercial business assets that might otherwise be deposited 
in banks.  Internal factors impacting levels and changes in net interest 
income are attributed to Bancorp's interest rate risk management policies, 
which address a variety of issues including loan and deposit pricing 
strategies, funding alternatives, and maturity schedules.  Bancorp has not 
made use of derivatives, interest rate hedges, or similar instruments or  
transactions to manage interest rate risk.

Average balances and rates for each major category of interest-earning assets 
and interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter and year-to-date 
periods are presented in Table 1.  Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent 
basis increased by 2% to $11.0 million for the second quarter of 1998, and 
increased by 5% to $22.0 million for the first half of 1998 compared with 
corresponding periods for 1997.  The increases were primarily attributed to 
higher volumes of loans and investment securities, partly offset by declines 
in average interest rates earned thereon.  Growth in net interest income for 
the quarter and year-to-date periods was suppressed, however, by a change in 
the mix of earning assets favoring short-term investments, which provided 
added liquidity to satisfy anticipated loan demand.  Average loan growth 
slowed to 5% in the second quarter of 1998 compared with 6% growth between the 
comparable six-month periods.

Average interest-bearing deposits increased by 5% for the comparable quarter 
and six-month periods, at average interest rates only slightly higher in 1998.  
While savings deposits continue to decline in line with industry trends, 
growth was achieved in all other major deposit categories assisted by the 
introduction of new deposit products and pricing changes.  Deposits have been 
supplemented largely by Federal Home Loan Bank advances, which increased by 
13% and 19% for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively.  FHLB 
borrowings have been a dependable source of relatively low-cost funds to 
support growth in loans and investment securities.

</TABLE>

Despite the relative stability of market interest rates for the comparable 
periods, slowing loan growth and added liquidity contributed to a decline in 
the net interest margin, which is the ratio of taxable-equivalent net interest 
income to average earning assets, by 18 basis points to 4.45% for the second 
quarter of 1998 compared with 4.63% the second quarter of last year.  For the 
year-to-date periods, the net interest margin declined to 4.54% for 1998 from 
4.60% for 1997. 

Provision for Credit Losses. 

Bancorp increased the provision for credit losses by 17% for the three- and 
six-month periods, to $525,000 and $1.1 million, respectively, for 1998 
compared with $450,000 and $900,000, respectively, for 1997.  The increase was 
largely attributed to a 6% increase in year-to-date average total loans 
inasmuch as net loan losses declined 3% and 18%, respectively, between the 
comparable three- and six-month periods.

Noninterest Income.

Total noninterest income increased 18% to $4.5 million for the second quarter 
of 1998 compared with $3.8 million for the second quarter of 1997.  Excluding, 
for purposes of comparison, income from credit card merchant servicing for the 
second quarter of 1997, noninterest income increased by 31% between the 
comparable quarters.  The merchant processing line of business was sold at a 
substantial gain in the third quarter of 1997.  Several categories of 
noninterest income increased related to management's strategic emphasis on new 
sources of revenue and innovative marketing and distribution.  Trust and 
investment management income increased 17% to $663,000 for the second quarter 
of 1998 from $569,000 for the second quarter of 1997.  Trust assets under 
management reached $428 million at June 30, 1998, a 12% increase from $383 
million at June 30, 1997.  Service charges on deposit accounts increased 3% to 
$1.4 million attributed largely to increased transaction volume.  Gains on 
sales of loans, largely residential mortgages, increased to $306,000 for the 
second quarter of 1998 compared to $61,000 for the same quarter last year 
attributed to the favorable interest rate environment and high refinance 
activity.  Other operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 included 
a $467,000 nonrecurring gain on the sale of real property.

For the comparable six-month periods, total noninterest income advanced by 11% 
to $8.1 million for 1998 from $7.3 million for 1997.  Excluding merchant 
servicing income described above, the comparable increase in total noninterest 
income amounted to 24%.  Trust and investment management income increased by 
12% related to growth in managed assets, service charges on deposit accounts 
rose 5%, and other operating income included the aforementioned $467,000 gain 
on the sale of real property, and gains on the sale of loans amounted to 
$453,000 compared with $104,000 for the first half of 1997. 

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense increased by 8% to $10.1 million for the second 
quarter of 1998 compared with $9.3 million for the second quarter of last 
year.  Excluding expenses associated with credit card merchant servicing for 
the second quarter of 1997, total noninterest expense increased by 11% between 
the comparable quarters.  Salaries and benefits increased by 8% largely due to 
merit-based compensation increases.  Occupancy and equipment expense increased 
by 7%.  Other operating expense, excluding the credit card merchant servicing 
expense recorded last year, increased 18% to $3.1 million.  Other operating 
expense for the second quarter of 1998 included $388,000 of merger-related 
expense.  The efficiency ratio (the ratio of adjusted noninterest expense to 
the sum of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and recurring 
noninterest income) declined to 61.8% for the second quarter of 1998 from 
63.1% for the second quarter of 1997 evidencing improved control of operating 
expenses relative to higher revenue.


For the comparable six-month periods, total noninterest expense increased 5% 
to $19.4 million, or by 8% after excluding merchant servicing income for the 
first half of 1997.  Salaries and benefits increased by 5%, occupancy and 
equipment expense rose by 6%, and other operating expense, reflecting $388,000 
in merger-related expense, increased by 14% excluding, for comparative 
purposes, the previously described merchant servicing income for 1997.  For 
the year-to-date periods, the efficiency ratio declined to 61.8% for 1998 
compared with 64.0% for 1997.

Income Taxes.

The provision for income taxes declined 4% to $1.2 million for the second 
quarter of 1998, from $1.3 million for the second quarter of 1997.  Tax 
expense varies from one period to the next with changes in the level of income 
before taxes, changes in the amount of tax-exempt income, and the relationship 
of these changes to each other. Bancorp's effective tax rate for the second 
quarter of 1998 was 29% compared with 31% for the second quarter of 1997.  The 
previously described gain on the sale of real property in the second quarter 
of 1998, at capital gains tax rates, contributed to the decline in the 
effective rate between the comparable quarters. Bancorp's income tax expense 
differs from the amount computed at statutory rates primarily due to tax-
exempt interest from certain loans and investment securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the effective tax rate was 29% 
compared with 30% for the first half of 1997.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Table 3 summarizes Bancorp's nonperforming assets and contractually past-due 
loans. Total nonperforming assets at June 30, 1998 declined $5.9 million 
compared with year earlier levels and declined $2.8 million since year-end 
1997. Loans past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal decreased 
$39,000 compared with prior year levels and increased $278,000 since year-end. 
Although there is no direct correlation between nonperforming loans and 
ultimate loan losses, an analysis of the nonperforming loans may provide some 
indication of the quality of the loan portfolio.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS

At June 30, 1998, Bancorp had $9.7 million in loans to borrowers who were 
currently experiencing financial difficulties such that management had 
reasonable concerns that such loans might become contractually past due or be 
classified as a nonperforming asset. These loans are subject to the same close 
attention and regular credit reviews as extended to loans past due 90 days or 
more and nonperforming assets. As of June 30, 1998, management does not 
believe that these loans present any significant risk of loss.

(1) Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, 
reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or 
principal or a specific loan meets the criteria for nonaccrual status 
established by regulatory authorities. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual 
status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against 
current period interest income. No interest is taken into income on nonaccrual 
loans unless received in cash or until such time the borrower demonstrates 
sustained performance over a period of time in accordance with contractual 
terms.

(2) Other real estate owned includes: banking premises no longer used for 
business purposes and real estate acquired by foreclosure (in partial or 
complete satisfaction of debt) or otherwise surrendered by the borrower to 
Bancorp's possession. Other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of cost 
or fair value on the date of acquisition or transfer from loans. Write-downs 
to fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for 
credit losses. Subsequent to transfer, these assets are adjusted through a 
valuation allowance to the lower of the net carrying value or the fair value 
(net of estimated selling expenses) based on periodic appraisals.

(3) Nonaccrual loans are not included.
</TABLE>

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level, which in 
management's judgment, is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan 
portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is reviewed 
regularly by management.  Additions to the allowance are made by charges to 
the provision for credit losses.  On a quarterly basis, a comprehensive review 
of the adequacy of the allowance is performed considering factors such as 
historical relationships among loans outstanding, loss experience, delinquency 
levels, individual loan reviews, and evaluation of the present and future 
local and national economic environment.  While management believes the 
allowance for credit losses is adequate at June 30, 1998, the estimate of 
losses and related allowance are subject to change due to economic and other 
uncertainties inherent in the estimation process.
	
As reflected in Table 4, the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of 
total loans decreased, principally attributed to improved credit quality as 
evidenced by the decline in both nonperforming loans, as referenced above, and 
net chargeoffs.

Bancorp had loans amounting to approximately $5.1 million and  $5.8 million at 
June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively, that were specifically 
classified as impaired and included in nonaccrual loans in Table 3. The 
average balance of impaired loans for the six and three months ended June 30, 
1998 and 1997 amounted to $4.7 million and $5.4 million, and $6.0 million, and 
$5.9 million, respectively. Cash receipts for these same periods were $213,000 
and $35,000, for 1998 and $1.1 million and $971,000 for 1997. All cash 
receipts were applied to reduce the principal balance of those impaired loans, 
and no interest income was recognized. The specific allowance for credit 
losses related to these impaired loans was $957,000 and $576,000, at June 30, 
1998 and June 30, 1997, respectively.

YEAR 2000 COMPUTER READINESS

In July 1997, management initiated an enterprise-wide Assurance Plan ("Plan") 
to prepare Bancorp's computer systems and applications for the Year 2000.  
Approved and monitored by Bancorp's Board of Directors and overseen by senior 
management, the Plan is administered by a task team representing every 
relevant area of the company and sets forth a detailed time line that is 
intended to address all critical issues in a timely and prudent manner.

At June 30, 1998 Bancorp's Plan was on schedule and calls for testing of 
internal and external systems to be substantially complete by December 31, 
1998. We have received Year 2000 compliance communications from 97% of our 
mission critical vendors, and we are continuing on schedule with Year 2000 
testing.  During the past quarter, Bancorp hosted three local seminars to 
address the Year 2000 challenge for businesses and to educate our customers on 
the issues surrounding the century change.

The assessment and resolution of internal and external Year 2000 issues under 
the Plan, and within the control of Bancorp, is not expected to have a 
material adverse impact on Bancorp or on its ability to conduct business. 
There can be no assurance, however, that there would be no adverse impact on 
Bancorp if vendors, service providers, major borrowers, or others with whom 
Bancorp conducts business, fail to achieve full Year 2000 compliance.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders' equity totaled $103.7 million at June 30, 1998, an increase of 
2.1% compared with the 1997 year-end level of $101.5 million, and an increase 
of 7.1% from the year-earlier level of $96.8 million. The fair value of the 
available-for-sale portfolio declined $281,000 (net of deferred taxes) since 
year-end. Capital levels were considered sufficient to absorb anticipated 
future price volatility in the available-for-sale portfolio.

Bancorp's risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios continue to exceed 
regulatory guidelines as of June 30, 1998, as follows:

Fair value adjustments to shareholders' equity for changes in the fair value 
of securities classified as available-for-sale are excluded from the 
calculation of these capital ratios in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk is defined as the future changes in market prices that increase or 
decrease the value of financial instruments, i.e. cash, investments, loans, 
deposits and debt.  Included in market risk are interest rate risk, foreign 
currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, and other relevant market 
risks.  Bancorp's primary source of market risk is interest rate risk.  Market 
risk sensitive financial instruments are entered into for purposes other than 
trading.

Interest rate risk refers to the exposure of Bancorp's earnings and capital to 
changes in interest rates. The magnitude of the effect of changes in market 
rates depends on the extent and timing of such changes and on Bancorp's 
ability to adjust.  The ability to adjust is controlled by the time remaining 
to maturity on fixed-rate obligations, the contractual ability to adjust rates 
prior to maturity, competition, and customer actions.

There are several common sources of interest rate risk that must be 
effectively managed if there is to be minimal impact on Bancorp's earnings and 
capital.  Repricing risk arises largely from timing differences in the pricing 
of assets and liabilities.  Reinvestment risk refers to the reinvestment of 
cash flows from interest payments and maturing assets at lower rates.  Basis 
risk exists when different yield curves or pricing indices do not change at 
precisely the same time or in the same magnitude such that assets and 
liabilities with the same maturity are not all affected equally.  Yield curve 
risk refers to unequal movements in interest rates across a full range of 
maturities.

In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, Bancorp considers 
the impact on earnings and capital of the current outlook on interest rates, 
potential changes in interest rates, regional economies, liquidity, business 
strategies, and other factors. To effectively measure and manage interest rate 
risk, traditional cumulative gap and simulation analysis are used to determine 
the impact on net interest income and the market value of portfolio equity 
("MVE").  Bancorp attempts to manage interest rate sensitivity on the basis of 
when assets and liabilities will reprice as opposed to when then can reprice.

Cumulative gap analysis presents the net amount of assets and liabilities that 
will most likely reprice through specified periods if there are no changes in 
balance sheet mix.  Using that analysis, the effect of changes in market 
interest rates, both rising and falling, on net interest income can be 
calculated.  Bancorp had a cumulative net liability position of $66.8 million 
within the one-year timeframe at June 30, 1998.  This position indicated that 
Bancorp was exposed to the potential for decreased earnings if interest rates 
were to rise in the next twelve months.  In that case, the Asset/Liability 
Management Committee ("ALCO") would consider actions to change Bancorp's asset 
mix, funding sources, and interest rates to mitigate any negative impact on 
net interest income.

Because of inherent limitations in traditional cumulative gap analysis, ALCO 
also employs more sophisticated interest rate risk measurement techniques. 
Simulation analysis is used to subject the current repricing positions to 
rising and falling interest rates in increments and decrements of 100, 200, 
and 300 basis points, and to determine how net interest income varies under 
alternative interest rate and business activity scenarios. ALCO also measures 
the effects of changes in interest rates on the MVE, i.e. the net present 
value of all the future cash flows from Bancorp's financial instruments 
expressed as the percentage change in portfolio value of equity for any given 
change in prevailing interest rates. Table 7 presents Bancorp's MVE at June 
30, 1998.

                                  Exhibit 11
                Statement re: Computation of Per Share Earnings

Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated on a Basic EPS and Diluted EPS basis. 
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to 
common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common 
shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period.  Income available to 
common shareholders is Net Income in the table below and as reported in 
Bancorp's income statement. No adjustments were required to net income for any 
EPS calculations.

Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the denominator for all dilutive 
potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.  Bancorp had 
stock options outstanding during the periods presented below which had a 
dilutive effect on EPS. Therefore, the number of additional common shares that 
would have been outstanding if the options had been exercised is added to the 
denominator to arrive at the dilutive number of shares.

The calculations of earnings per share below are based on the weighted average 
number of shares outstanding, adjusted for the 5% stock dividend paid July 29, 
1998, including all common stock and common stock equivalents in conformity 
with the instructions for Item 601 of Regulation S-K.
