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.


                                       9
<PAGE>

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 and
comprehensive 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 and
comprehensive income.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of investments at September 30,
2000 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, 1999. Other
comprehensive income consists entirely of unrealized gains (losses) on
available-for-sale securities. Income taxes allocated to other comprehensive
income amounted to tax (benefit) of $1.9 million and ($1.3) million for the
third quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively and tax (benefit) of $1.6
million and ($4.8) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
1999, respectively.

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 outstanding stock options or other contracts to issue common stock, if
any, were exercised or converted into 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.

NOTE 8.  FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

In June, 1999, FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and for Hedging Activities", which calls for derivatives to be
recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and for subsequent
changes in fair value to be recognized in the consolidated statement of
income and comprehensive income. However, because non-derivative and
non-financial transactions are still measured using a mix of historical and
current prices, the Statement retains special accounting for gains and losses
when derivatives are used in qualifying hedges of assets, liabilities, and
future transactions. The Statement unifies qualifying criteria for hedges
involving all types of derivatives, requiring that a company document,
designate, and assess the effectiveness of its hedges. For hedges that meet
the Statement's criteria, the derivative's gains and losses will be allowed
to offset gains and losses on, or forecasted cash flows of, the hedged item.

Among a number of other provisions, the Statement will also allow entities to
reclassify available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities without calling
into question management's intent for the remainder of its securities
portfolios.

For calendar-year companies such as Bancorp, the Statement will take effect
beginning January 1, 2001. Historically, Bancorp has not made use of hedges
and other financial derivatives and is unable to predict the impact, if any,
that the application of Statement No. 133 will have upon consolidated
financial statements issued after 2000.

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

OVERVIEW

F&M Bancorp's net income for the third quarter of 2000 was $4.971 million, or
$0.44 basic earnings per share, an increase of 21% compared with earnings of
$4.120 million, or $0.37 basic earnings per share, for the third quarter of
1999. Per share amounts reported previously have been restated for the
acquisitions of Patapsco Valley Bancshares, Inc., completed in December 1999,
and Potomac Basin Group Associates, Inc. completed in July 1999, both
accounted for as a pooling-of- interests.

Third quarter 2000 earnings were favorably impacted by a 24% increase in
noninterest income as well as reducing noninterest expense by 3% compared to
the third quarter of last year. Return on average assets was 1.13% for the
third quarter of 2000, compared to 1.00% for the third quarter of 1999.
Return on average equity in the third quarter of 2000 was 13.11%, compared to
11.18% for the same period of 1999.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared with the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, net income increased 15% to $14.477 million, or
$1.31 basic earnings per share, from $12.642 million, or $1.15 basic earnings
per share. Returns on average assets and average equity were 1.12% and
13.07%, respectively, for the first three quarters of 2000 compared with
1.04% and 11.43%, respectively, for the same period of 1999.

Certain information included in the following section of this report, other

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 69%
of gross revenue through the first nine months of 2000. 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 third quarter and year-to-date
periods are presented on a comparative basis in the tables below. Average
balances for the third quarter 2000, compared with the third quarter 1999
were as follows. Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis increased
by 5%, or $753 thousand. Average earning assets increased 8%, or $125.6
million. Average loans continued to grow at a strong pace of 19%, or $192
million. The average balance in the investment portfolio decreased 10%, or
$48.3 million. This is partially due to the increase in loan demand. The
yield on earning assets increased 34 basis points to 7.92%. Average
interest-bearing deposits decreased $361 thousand or less than 1%. Additional
long-term and short-term funding was provided principally by Federal Home
Loan Bank advances, which increased $50 million, or 49%.

Average balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared with
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were as follow. Net interest income
on a taxable-equivalent basis increased by 6%, or $2.9 million. Average
earning assets increased 7%, or $113.2 million. Average loans grew 17%, or
$174.8 million. The average balance in the investment portfolio decreased 6%,
or $28.9 million. As loan demand has increased, investment securities have
been utilized to fund this growth. The yield on earning assets across all
sectors increased 23 basis points to 7.88%. Average interest-bearing deposits
increased $12.0 million, or 1%. The majority of this growth is in money
market accounts that grew 23% in this period. Additional short-term and
long-term funding was provided principally by Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, which increased $38.2 million, or 38%.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES.

The provision for credit losses increased to $1.215 million for the third
quarter of 2000 compared with $100 thousand for the third quarter of 1999.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, the provision increased
$1.561 million or 164% as compared to the same period last year. This
increase is in part, a result of the 16% growth in the Bancorp's loan
portfolio as well as additional provision for a commercial loan in default.

NONINTEREST INCOME.

Noninterest income is comprised of fees and commissions earned on traditional
banking products such as fees charged on deposit accounts, as well as from
commissions on other activities such as, insurance, trust and alternative
investment products. Gains/losses on the sales of portfolio items like,
loans, securities, or fixed assets are also included.

For the third quarter 2000, compared with the third quarter 1999 total
noninterest income increased 24%, or $1.5 million. Expanding into new markets
products such as stocks, mutual funds, and trust, and continuing to offer a
full range of insurance services have aided in noninterest income growth.
These types of business have increased noninterest income by 24% or, $555
thousand. Service charges on deposit accounts increased 14%, or $259
thousand. Gains on sales of securities increased to $633 thousand for the
third quarter 2000 from $15 thousand for the third quarter 1999.

The nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 yielded similar growth results. Total noninterest income
increased 17%, or $3.2 million. Alternative investments and insurance
activity increased noninterest income by 24%, or $1.8 million, while service
charges on deposit accounts produced a $694 thousand, or 13% increase.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE.

Noninterest expense is made up of those expenses incurred to run and operate the
Bancorp. These expenses are divided into four general categories.
1.   Salaries & employee benefits, which is the largest portion, representing
     54% of total noninterest expense.
2.   Merger-related expenses, which are nonrecurring and unusual items.
3.   Occupancy and equipment expenses.
4.   Other operating expenses.

The Bancorp's efficiency ratio (the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum
of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and noninterest income)
increased from 63.65% for the period ended September 30, 1999, to 64.42% for
the period ended September 30, 2000.

The third quarter 2000, compared to the third quarter 1999 results were as
follows. Total noninterest expense decreased 3%, or $492 thousand. Salaries
and employee benefits decreased 7% or $638 thousand, occupancy and equipment
expense decreased 2%, or $50 thousand, while other operating expenses
including merger related expenses increased 4% or $197 thousand.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the nine month
ended September 30, 1999, total noninterest expense increased 2%, or $1.1
million. Salaries and employee benefits decreased less than 1%, or $51
thousand. Occupancy and equipment rose 4% or $239 thousand, and other
operating expenses including merger-related expense increased 6% or $864
thousand.

INCOME TAXES.

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. The effective income tax expense
rate differs from the amount computed at statutory rates primarily due to
tax-exempt interest from certain loans and investment securities.

Provision for income taxes increased 42% to $2.230 million in the third
quarter, from $1.570 million in the same period last year. The effective tax
rate was 31% compared to 28% in this same period.

The nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 resulted in the provision for income taxes increasing 33%
to $6.280 million, from $4.707 million. The effective tax rate was 30%
compared to 27% in the same period.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS.

The table below summarizes Bancorp's nonperforming assets and contractually
past-due loans. Total nonperforming assets at September 30, 2000 decreased
$1.0 million compared with year-earlier levels and decreased $3.2 million
since year-end 1999. Loans past due 90 days or more as to interest or
principal decreased $566 thousand compared with prior year levels and
increased $396 thousand since year-end. Although there is no direct
correlation between nonperforming loans and ultimate loan losses, an analysis
of nonperforming loans may provide some indication of the quality of the loan
portfolio.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS.

At September 30, 2000, Bancorp had $24.2 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. At December 31, 1999, potential problem loans totaled $23.1 million.

(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


                                       18
<PAGE>

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.

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 allowance is performed considering such factors as the levels of loans
outstanding, loss experience, delinquency levels, certain individual loan
reviews, and an evaluation of the regional and national economic environment.
The methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists
of three primary elements:

   - The Formula Allowance. The formula allowance is calculated by applying
historically determined loss factors to outstanding business loans based on
credit risk ratings and for pools of homogeneous loans. Individually risk
rated loan loss factors is determined using average annual net charge-off
rates for the most recent two years. Pooled loans are loans that are
homogeneous in nature such as consumer installment and residential mortgage
loans. Pooled loan loss factors are based on net charge-offs experienced over
the past year. The historic loss factors on the risk rated loans and the
pooled loans are then considered for either positive or negative adjustment
in an attempt to reflect the current dynamics of the portfolios. These
adjustments in the loss factors are tied to management's evaluation of a
number of factors including: 1) changes in the trend of the volume and
severity of past due, classified and non-accrual assets; 2) changes in the
nature and volume of the portfolio; 3) changes in lending policies,
underwriting standards, or collection practices; 4) changes in the
experience, ability, depth of lending management and staff; 5) portfolio
concentrations; and 6) changes in the national or local economy.

   - Specific Allowances for Identified Problem Loans. The amount of specific
reserves is determined through a loan-by-loan analysis of non-performing
loans. The analysis considers expected future cash flows, the value of
collateral or other factors that may impact the borrower's ability to repay.

   - The Unallocated Allowance. The unallocated portion of the allowance is
based on loss factors that cannot be associated with specific loans or loan
categories. These factors include management's subjective evaluation of such
conditions as credit quality trends, collateral values, portfolio
concentrations, specific industry conditions in the regional economy,
regulatory examination results, internal audit and loan review findings,
recent loss experiences in particular portfolio segments, etc. The
unallocated portion of the allowance for losses reflects management's attempt
to ensure that the overall reserve appropriately reflects a margin for the
imprecision necessarily inherent in estimates of credit losses.

While management believes the allowance for credit losses was adequate at
September 30, 2000, the estimate of losses and related allowance may change
in the near term due to economic and other uncertainties inherent in the
estimation process.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders' equity totaled $151.7 million at September 30, 2000; an
increase of 5% compared with the 1999 year-end level of $143.8 million, and
an increase of 3% from the year earlier level of $146.7 million. The fair
value of the available-for-sale portfolio increased $2.568 million (net of
deferred taxes) since year-end, reflecting the positive impact of market
interest rates. 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 September 30, 2000, as follows:

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. Re-pricing 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,


                                       21
<PAGE>

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 they 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. Because of inherent limitations in traditional cumulative gap
analysis, however, Asset / Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") also
employs more sophisticated interest rate risk measurement techniques.

Management believes that interest rate risk measured by simulation modeling
which calculates expected net interest income based on projected
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The model
projections are based upon historical trends and management's expectations of
balance sheet growth patterns, spreads to market rates, historical market
rate relationships, prepayment behavior, current and expected product
offerings and sales activities. The policy guideline limit for net interest
income simulation is a negative impact to net interest income of 15.0 percent
for the up or down 300 basis points ramp scenarios when compared with the
flat rate scenario. Management has generally maintained a risk position well
within the policy guideline level. The model indicated the impact of a 300
basis point rise in rates over the next 12 months would cause approximately a
1.1 percent decrease in net interest income at September 30, 2000. A 300
basis point decrease in rates over the next 12 months would cause
approximately a .8 percent increase in net interest income at September 30,
2000.

Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are
based on many assumptions, including relative levels of market interest
rates, loan prepayments and changes in deposit levels. They are not intended
to be a forecast and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual
results. Further, the computations do not contemplate certain actions that
management could take in response to changes in interest rates.
