NOTE 5      STOCK SPLIT EFFECTED IN THE FORM OF A DIVIDEND

                  In September 1998, the Company declared a three for one stock
            split to be distributed in the form of a dividend. Two additional
            shares were distributed for each share outstanding as of September
            28, 1998, with no change in the par value of the stock. All per
            share computations have been restated to reflect the stock split.

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


Overview

    F & M Bank Corp. continued to experience strong earnings, strong loan demand
and modest deposit growth in the first nine months of 1999. Annualized growth in
total assets was .69% and annualized growth in deposits was 1.99%. Net income
for the first nine months of 1999 decreased $85,000 or 2.80% compared to 1998.
The increase in stockholders' equity of 2.41% is attributed to the retention of
earnings, net of regular dividends of $933,000 and a $1,401,000 decrease 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 7.20%
($401,000) in the first nine months of 1999 compared to the first nine months of
1998. A decrease in the return on earning assets of .44%, combined with a
decrease in the cost of funds of .54% (equivalent to a $6,000 increase in the
net interest margin), combined with a $395,000 increase in the net interest
margin due to volume increases. Decreases in the return on earning assets and
cost of funds were spread across all asset and liability types. Prepayment
interest penalties incurred in 1998 to refinance long-term debt of the
subsidiary bank accounted for $340,000 of the $395,000 increase in the net
interest margin. A schedule of the net interest margin for 1999 and 1998 is
shown on page 15 as Table I.

    Noninterest income decreased $312,000 in the first nine months of 1999.
Exclusive of securities gains, noninterest income increased $151,000. This
increase resulted primarily from additional fees generated from the sale of
investment products, credit life, accident & health, and title insurance.

    Overall, noninterest expenses increased 11.25% in 1999 compared to 1998.
Salaries and employee benefits increased 21.17%. These increases can be
attributed to an increase of six full-time equivalent positions in various areas
of the bank; normal salary adjustments, and increases in employee benefits
related to higher health insurance premiums and costs of retirement plans. Other
noninterest expense decreased 1.63%. Factors contributing to this decrease
include: a reduction in fees associated with year 2000 testing and remediation,
reductions in advertising expense, legal & professional fees and training costs.

    Quarter Ending September 30, 1999

    Third quarter net income increased 42.74% compared to the same quarter of
1998. Prepayment penalties incurred in 1998 by the subsidiary bank to refinance
long-term debt totaled $167,000, while securities gains increased $262,000 in
1999. Exclusive of these non-recurring items, earnings from operations, net of
income tax expense, was virtually unchanged from 1998 to 1999.

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, 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 September 30, 1999, the market value of all securities available for sale
exceeded their amortized cost by $762,000 ($472,000 after the consideration of
income taxes). This excess is the result of unrecognized gains in the value of
equity securities 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 securities to have a direct
impact on earnings.

    The carrying value of securities available for sale and held to maturity
decreased $2,136,000 during the first nine months of 1999. Of the investments in
securities available for sale, 29.26% are invested in equities, which are
dividend producing and most are 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.

    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. Commercial lending includes small and medium
sized businesses within its service area.

    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. 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.

    While lending is geographically diversified within the service area, the
Company does have some concentration in agricultural loans (primarily poultry
farming). In the past two and a half years, the poultry industry has suffered
due to high grain prices, excess supplies of all types of meat and high
mortality rates among poults. Recently there has been a sharp improvement in
grain prices and some improvement in mortality rates. However, these
improvements have not been sufficient to completely offset depressed turkey
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 that can be traced to these
economic factors.


<PAGE> 11


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


    Loan Portfolio (Continued)

    The first nine months of 1999 resulted in a slower increase in loan
portfolio, as loans grew at an annualized rate of 4.36%. This increase is
significantly less than in recent years and it appears that the loan portfolio's
rate of growth has been affected by increased competition from new banks
entering the market area. The influx of new banks caused a substantial amount of
pressure on loan rates. The Bank has chosen to attempt to retain as much of its
existing loan portfolio as possible, but has not aggressively priced new loans
in order to achieve short-term loan growth, at the expense of the net interest
margin. In the most recent quarter, loan growth has picked back up, as loans
grew at an annualized rate of 10.22%. This growth appears to be a result of an
increase in overall market rates of interest, which has made the Bank's rates
relatively more attractive than in recent quarters.

    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 had the original interest rate or repayment terms changed due to
financial hardship. Loans 90 days or more past due totaled $1,744,000 at
September 30, 1999 compared to $2,059,000 at December 31, 1998. Approximately
77% of these past due loans are secured by real estate. Although the potential
exists for some loan losses, management believes the bank is generally well
secured and continues to actively work with its customers to effect payment. The
Company had no nonaccrual or restructured loans at September 30, 1999.

    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 loan losses of $1,085,000 at September 30, 1999 was down
$77,000 from its level at December 31, 1998. The allowance was equal to .79% of
total loans at September 30, 1999 and .88% at December 31, 1998. 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.

    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 annualized growth of deposits in the first nine
months of 1999 totaled 1.99%. Most of this growth was in savings deposits and
may be attributed to customers wanting greater liquidity due to uncertainties
regarding the direction of interest rates and year 2000 concerns. Deposit growth
has accelerated in the most recent quarter to an annualized rate of 6.67%. This
growth is primarily in the area of time deposits and appears to be related to
the offering of promotional products.


<PAGE> 12


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


    Deposits and Long-Term Debt (Continued)

    The Company offers 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, 1999
balances in repo accounts total $6,746,000 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. The Company's
subsidiary bank borrows funds on a fixed rate basis. These borrowings are used
to fund either a fifteen-year fixed rate loan or a twenty-year loan, 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. Due to reduced loan
demand and unattractive rates of interest offered by the FHLB, no additional
funds have been borrowed in 1999. Normal repayments have totaled $2,558,000 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, 1999, the Company's total risk based capital and
total capital to total assets ratios were 18.92% and 12.63%, respectively. Both
ratios are in excess of regulatory minimums and exceed the ratios of the
Company's peers. Earnings have been satisfactory to allow an increase in regular
dividends in 1999 over those levels experienced in 1998.

    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 has 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 interest
sensitive assets relative to interest sensitive liabilities over specific time
intervals.


<PAGE> 13


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


    Interest Rate Sensitivity (Continued)

    At September 30, 1999 the Company is in an asset sensitive position. This
asset sensitive position typically produces an unfavorable contribution to
earnings during a period of decreasing 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 the 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 16
as Table II.

    Disclosure of Year 2000 Issues

   The following statements are being designated as Year 2000 Readiness
Disclosures under the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act,
enacted by the 105th Congress on October 19, 1998.

   The Company has formed a year 2000 project team to identify information
technology and non-technology systems that require modification for the year
2000. A project plan has been established with goals and target dates. The
Company has completed the assessment, renovation, validation and redeployment
phases of the project.

   The impact of year 2000 issues on the Company depends not only on corrective
actions that the Company takes, but also on the actions of governmental
agencies, businesses and other third parties that provide services to, or
receive services from, the Company. The Company has implemented an ongoing
process of identifying and contacting mission critical third parties to
determine their year 2000 readiness. Although the Company has undertaken these
measures, there can be no assurance that mission critical third parties will
adequately address their year 2000 issues.

   The Company has developed contingency plans for implementation in the event
of failure of mission critical systems. There may be certain mission critical
third parties, such as utilities or telecommunications companies, where
alternative arrangements or sources are limited or unavailable.

   The Company has reviewed its significant loan customers to assess the risk of
increased problem loans and credit losses due to borrowers failure to adequately
address year 2000 issues. Although it is not possible to quantify the potential
impact of such credit losses at this time, management has designated a portion
of the allowance for loan losses as an undesignated reserve, which can be used
to absorb uncertainties, including year 2000 problems, within the loan
portfolio.

   The Company has incurred expenses throughout 1998 and 1999 related to its
year 2000 project. Additional funds have been budgeted in anticipation of costs
that may be incurred during the remainder of 1999. At the present time,
management of the Company does not believe that the costs of addressing this
issue will have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition.
If, however, the Company and third parties upon which it relies are unable to
address this issue in a timely manner, it could result in a material financial
risk to the Company. The Company plans to continue to devote all resources
necessary to resolve any significant year 2000 issues in a timely manner.

accounting standards will have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or operations.
