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


Overview

    F & M Bank Corp. continued to experience strong earnings and consistent
asset growth in the first nine months of 1997. Annualized growth in total assets
was 6.44% and annualized growth in deposits was 5.22%. Net income for the first
nine months of 1997 increased $381,000 or 21.04% compared to 1996. The increase
in capital of 15.03% for the first nine months was the result of retained
operating income of $1,562,000 and a $1,312,000 net increase in unrealized gains
on securities available for sale.

Results of Operations

    Year to Date

    The dollar amount of the tax equivalent, net interest margin increased
11.96% ($588,000) in the first nine months of 1997 compared to the first nine
months of 1996. An increase in the return on earning assets of .07% combined
with a decrease in the cost of funds of .08% accounted for $159,000 of the
increase in the net interest margin. The remaining increase was thus
attributable to the relationship of the increase in earning assets relative to
interest bearing liabilities (i.e. volume increase). A schedule of the net
interest margin for 1997 and 1996 is shown on page 14 as Table I.

    Noninterest income increased 34.10% in the first nine months of 1997
compared to the first nine months of 1996. Securities gains increased $50,000
from $176,000 in 1996 to $226,000 in 1997. The remainder of the increase
resulted primarily from additional service charges generated following the
implementation of higher overdraft fees and other account service charges.

    Overall noninterest expenses increased 4.38% in 1997 compared to 1996.
Salaries and employee benefits rose 6.69% ($102,000) due to increased staffing
and normal salary increases. Other noninterest expense categories were virtually
unchanged.

    Quarter Ending September 30, 1997

    Third quarter net income increased 42.30% compared to the same quarter of
1996. Factors contributing to this increase include a $157,000 increase in the
net interest margin, $244,000 of additional securities gains and a decline of
$20,000 in the provision for loan losses. These additional sources of income
were partially offset by higher personnel expenses and additional income tax
expense.

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 of available for sale securities are excluded from earnings and
reported (net of deferred income taxes) as a separate component of shareholders'
equity. As of September 30, 1997, the market value of all securities available
for sale exceeded their amortized cost by $3,355,000 ($2,082,000 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 the securities to have a direct impact on
earnings.

    The carrying value of securities available for sale and held to maturity
increased $1,274,000 during the first nine months of 1997. This increase was due
to a $2,114,000 increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale
net of a decline in investments in corporate securities. 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 current returns and have the
potential for future increases in value. As of September 30, 1997, investments
of all types comprised 25.99% of total assets compared to 26.39% of total assets
at December 31, 1996.

    Loan Portfolio

    The Company operates in an agriculturally dominated area which includes the
counties of Rockingham, Page, Shenandoah and Augusta 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 economies 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
and a half, the poultry industry has suffered due to high grain prices, excess
supplies of all types of meat and high mortality rates among poults. In the most
recent quarter, there has been an improvement in grain prices and mortality
rates. However, these improvements have not been sufficient to completely offset
depressed prices caused by an over supply of meat. 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 nine months of 1997 saw continued strong loan demand as loans grew
at an annualized rate of 9.64%. The Bank has made a conscious effort to increase
lending locally as loans represent the best return available in the present
credit markets. Funding of the new loans was made possible by increases in time
deposits, retained income from operations and sales and maturities of debt
securities. Overall, management has been quite pleased with the loan program and
believes that loan growth will continue throughout the remainder of 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 $565,000 at September
30, 1997 compared to $1,430,000 at December 31, 1996 The Company had no
nonaccrual or restructured loans at September 30, 1997.

    Real estate acquired through foreclosure was $107,000 at December 31, 1996.
This property was sold prior to September 30, 1997.

    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. 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 September 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. This review also considers concentrations of loans in terms of
geography, business type or level of risk. 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.

    The allowance for credit losses of $1,135,000 at September 30, 1997 was up
$132,000 from its level at December 31, 1996. The allowance was equal to .95%
and .90% of total loans at September 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 is adequate to absorb
reasonably estimated credit losses inherent in the Company's portfolio.

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


    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. Deposit growth was good in the first nine months of
1997 with an annualized growth rate of 5.22%.

    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. As of
September 30, 1997 balances in repo accounts total $2,965,000 and are included
with short-term debt on the balance sheet.

    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 fund fixed rate loans with repayments over a fifteen year term. As
an alternative, borrowers may opt for a twenty year repayment term of which 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. Year-to-date borrowings
total $1,000,000 in 1997 compared to repayments of $2,379,000 in 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 September 30, 1997, the Company's total risk based capital ratio
was 18.16%, far above the regulatory minimum of 8.00%. The ratio of total
capital to total assets was 12.60% at September 30, 1997 which exceeds that of
the Company's peers. Earnings have been satisfactory to allow an increase in
dividends in 1997 over those levels experienced in 1996 and management has no
reason to believe this increased level of dividends will not continue.

    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.

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


    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 September 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.
