           future operations or financial position.

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

Overview

      The financial condition of F & M Bank Corp. remained strong
throughout the first six months of 1997.  Annualized growth in total assets
for the first six months was 3.09% and annualized growth in deposits for
this time period was 3.02%.  Net income for the first six months of 1997
increased $131,000 or 10.74% compared to 1996.  The increase in capital of
7.93% is attributed to earnings retained from operations for the period and
$559,000 net increase in the unrealized gains on securities available for
sale.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ending June 30, 1997

      The dollar amount of the tax equivalent, net interest margin
increased 13.18% in the first six months of 1997 compared to the first six
months of 1996.  A decrease in the cost of funds of .16% combined with an
increase in the return on earning assets of .13% yielded the improved
results.  The net increase in tax equivalent net interest margin is a
result of approximately equal increases caused by volume increases and the
improvement in both the cost of funds and the return on earning assets.  A
schedule of the net interest margin for 1997 and 1996 is shown on page 14
or Table I.

      Noninterest income decreased 35.39% in the first six months of 1997
compared to the first six months of 1996.  This decrease is attributed to a
change in security transactions from a gain of $169,000 in 1996 to a loss
of $25,000 in 1997.  The significant increase in service charges was
primarily the result of an increase in overdraft fees and other account
service charges.

      Noninterest expense increased 3.14% in 1997 compared to 1996.  All
areas of noninterest expense increased by amounts reflecting the growth in
assets.

Result of Operations - Quarter Ending June 30, 1997

      Net income for the quarter ending June 30, 1997 increased 17.15% over
earnings in the same quarter of 1996.  Net interest income increased due to
increases in the levels of earning assets and the increase spread between
the cost of funds and the return on earning assets.  Noninterest income
increased during 1997 due to asset growth and increases in overdraft fees
and other deposit account service charges.  The Company's overhead costs
are low relative to its peer group and it is not anticipated that this will
change in the near future.

Item 2    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Financial Condition

      Securities

      The Company's securities portfolio is held to assist the Company in
liquidity and asset liability management.  The securities portfolio
consists of investment securities (commonly referred to as "securities held
to maturity") and securities available for sale.  Securities are classified
as investment securities when management has the intent and ability to hold
the securities to maturity.  Investment securities are carried at amortized
cost.  Securities available for sale include securities that may be sold in
response to general market fluctuations, general liquidity needs and other
similar factors.  Securities available for sale are recorded at market
value.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale
securities are excluded from earnings and reported (net of deferred income
taxes) as a separate component of shareholders' equity.  As of June 30,
1997, the market value of all securities available for sale exceeded their
amortized cost by $2,143,000 ($1,329,000 after the consideration of income
taxes).  This excess is the result of unrecognized gains in the value of
equity securities, primarily stocks of financial institutions held by the
Company.  Management has traditionally held debt securities (regardless of
classification) until maturity and thus it does not expect the minor
fluctuations in the value of these debt securities to have a direct impact
on earnings.

      Investments in securities decreased slightly in the first six months
of 1997.  Maturities and sales of securities have been used in part to fund
continued strong loan demand.  The Company has invested in relatively
short-term maturities due to uncertainty in the direction of rates.  This
philosophy allows for greater flexibility in an environment of rapidly
changing rates and has served the Company well over the years.  Of the
investments in securities available for sale, 47% are invested in equities
which are dividend producing and subject to the dividend exclusion for
taxation purposes.  The Company believes these investments render adequate
returns and have the potential for future increases in value. 

Loan Portfolio

      The Company operates in an agriculturally dominated area which
incudes the counties of Rockingham, Page and Shenandoah in the western
portion of Virginia.  The Company does not make a significant number of
loans to borrowers outside its primary service area.  The Company is very
active in local residential construction mortgages.  The commercial lending
includes small and medium sized businesses within its service area.

      The principal economic risk associated with the loan portfolio is the
ability of its borrowers to repay.  The risk associated with real estate
and installment notes to individuals is based upon employment, the local
and national economics and consumer confidence.  All of these affect the
ability of borrowers to repay indebtedness.  The risk associated with
commercial lending is substantially based on the strength of the local and
national economies.  A large percentage of agricultural loans are made to
poultry growers.  In the past year, the poultry industry has suffered due
to high grain prices, excess supplies of all types of meat and high
mortality rates among poults.  In addition to direct agricultural loans, a
significant percentage of residential real estate loans and consumer
installment loans are made to borrowers employed in the agricultural sector
of the economy.  The company continues to monitor its past due loans
closely and has not experienced an increase in loan delinquencies as a
result of these economic factors.

Item 2    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Loan Portfolio (Continued)

      The first six months of 1997 saw continued strong loan demand as
loans grew at an annualized rate of 10.52%.  Funding for the increased loan
volume was made possible by the growth in time deposits, sales and
maturities of securities and retained income from operations.  Overall,
management has been quite pleased with the loan program and believes that
loan growth will continue throughout 1997.

      Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more
past due and restructured loans.  Nonaccrual loans are loans on which
interest accruals have been suspended or discontinued permanently. 
Restructured loans are loans which have changed the original interest rate
or repayment terms due to financial hardship.  Loans 90 days or more past
due totaled $711,000 at June 30, 1997 compared to $1,430,000 at December
31, 1996.  The Company had no nonaccrual or restructured loans at June 30,
1997.

      Real estate acquired through foreclosure was $107,000 at June 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996.  All foreclosed property held at June 30, 1997
was in the Company's primary service area.  The Company's practice is to
value real estate acquired through foreclosure at the lower of (i) an
independent current appraisal or market analysis less anticipated costs of
disposal, or (ii) the existing loan balance.  The Company is actively
marketing all foreclosed real estate and does not anticipate material
write-downs in value before disposition.

      An inherent risk in the lending of money is that the borrower will
not be able to repay the loan under the terms of the original agreement. 
The allowance for loan losses (see subsequent section) provides for this
risk and is reviewed periodically for adequacy.  This review also considers
concentrations of loans in terms of geography, business type or level of
risk.  While lending is geographically diversified within the service area,
the Company does have some concentration of loans in the area of
agriculture (primarily poultry farming) and related industries.  Management
recognizes these concentrations and considers them when structuring its
loan portfolio.  As of June 30, 1997, management is not aware of any
significant potential problem loans in which the debtor is currently
meeting their obligations as stated in the loan agreement but which may
change in future periods.

Allowance for Loan Losses

      Management evaluates the loan portfolio in light of national and
local economic trends, changes in the nature and value of the portfolio and
industry standards.  Specific factors considered by management in
determining the adequacy of the level of the allowance include internally
generated loan review reports, past due reports, historical loan
loss experience and individual borrowers financial health.  Management
evaluates nonperforming loans relative to their collateral value and makes
the appropriate adjustments to the allowance for loan losses when needed.

      The provision for loan losses and changes in the allowance for loan
losses are shown in note 4, page 8.

Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

      The allowance for credit losses of $1,088,000 at June 30, 1997 was up
$85,000 from its level at December 31, 1996.  The allowance was equal to
 .93% and .90% of total loans at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
respectively.  The Company believes that its allowance should be viewed in
its entirety and, therefore, is available for potential credit losses in
its entire portfolio, including loans, credit-related commitments and other
financial instruments.  In the opinion of management, the allowance, when
taken as a whole, is adequate to absorb reasonably estimated credit losses
inherent in the Company's portfolio.

Deposits and Long-Term Debt

      The Company's main source of funds is customer deposits received from
individuals, governmental entities and businesses located within the
Company's service area.  Deposit accounts include demand deposits, savings,
money market and certificates of deposit.  The Company realized annualized
deposit growth of 3.01% in the first six months of 1997.  Deposit growth
was mainly in the area of certificates of deposits and was a result of
special promotions designed to attract new deposits.

      In 1996, the Company began offering repurchase agreements (a/k/a
"repos") to customers desiring such investments.  Repos are designed for
companies and individuals desiring a higher rate of return than traditional
deposit accounts and who will accept the risk of not being covered by FDIC
insurance.

      Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) continue
to be an important mechanism in funding real estate loan growth in the
area.  The Company's subsidiary bank borrows funds on a fixed rate basis
and uses these borrowings to make fixed rate loans with a fifteen year
repayment term.  As an alternative, borrowers may opt for a twenty year
repayment term in which only the first ten years have a fixed rate.  This
program allows the bank to match the maturity of its fixed rate real estate
portfolio with the maturity of its debt and thus reduce its exposure to
interest rate changes.  No additional borrowings were obtained in the first
six months of 1997.  Normal repayments have totalled $1,719,000 so far this
year.

      Capital

      The Company seeks to maintain a strong capital base to expand
facilities, promote public confidence, support current operations and grow
at a manageable level.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company's total risk based
capital ratio was 18.04% which is far above the regulatory minimum of
8.00%.  The ratio of total capital to total assets was 12.21% at June 30,
1997 and this exceeds the level of the Company's peer group.  Earnings have
been satisfactory to allow an increase in dividends in 1997 over those
levels experienced in 1996.  Management anticipates maintaining these
capital levels throughout 1997 and into the foreseeable future.

Item 2    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

      Liquidity

      Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial
obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the
acquisition of additional funds through liability management.  Liquid
assets include cash, interest bearing deposits with banks, federal funds
sold, investments and loans maturing within one year.  The Company's
ability to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates determines
its liquidity exposure.  As a result of the Company's management of liquid
assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding,
management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient
to satisfy its depositors' requirements and meet its customers' credit
needs.

      Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include, but
are not limited to, loan repayments, the ability to obtain deposits through
the adjustment of interest rates and the purchasing of federal funds.  To
further meet its liquidity needs, the Company also maintains lines of
credit with correspondent financial institutions.  The Company's subsidiary
bank also has a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
that allows for secured borrowings.  In the past, growth in deposits and
proceeds from the maturity of investment securities have been sufficient to
fund most of the net increase in loans and investment securities.

      Interest Rate Sensitivity

      In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity,
management must also control the degree of interest rate risk assumed on
the balance sheet.  Managing this risk involves regular monitoring of the
interest sensitive assets relative to interest sensitive liabilities over
specific time intervals.

      At June 30, 1997 the Company had a negative gap position.  This
liability sensitive position typically produces an unfavorable contribution
to earnings during a period of increasing rates.  With the largest amount
of interest sensitive assets and liabilities repricing within five years,
the Company monitors these areas very closely.  Early withdrawal of
deposits, prepayments of loans and loan delinquencies are some of the
factors that could affect actual versus expected cash flows.  In addition,
changes in rates on interest sensitive assets and liabilities may not be
equal, which could result in a change in net interest margin.  While the
Company does not match each of its interest sensitive assets against
specific interest sensitive liabilities, it does monitor closely the
maturities of loans, investments and time deposits to limit interest rate
risk and the financial effect of market rate changes.

      A summary of asset and liability repricing opportunities is shown on
page 15 as Table II.

      Effect of Newly Issued Accounting Standards

      The Company does not believe that any newly issued but as yet
unapplied accounting standards will have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or operations.
