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 nine months of 2000.  Annualized  growth in loans was 9.03% and annualized
growth in  deposits  was 8.91%.  Net  income  for the first nine  months of 2000
increased $2,000 or .07% compared to 1999. The increase in stockholders'  equity
of 5.70% is attributed to the retention of earnings net of regular dividends and
a $21,000 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 5.09%
($304,000) in the first nine months of 2000 compared to the first nine months of
1999.  An  increase  in the return on earning  assets of .21%,  was offset by an
increase in the cost of funds of .26%.  All of the  increase in the net interest
margin was a result of increases in net earning assets (i.e.  volume  increases)
as interest rate margins declined  slightly.  Increases in the return on earning
assets and cost of funds were spread  across all asset and  liability  types.  A
schedule  of the net  interest  margin  for 2000 and 1999 is shown on page 14 as
Table I.

    Noninterest  income  decreased  $82,000  in the first  nine  months of 2000.
Exclusive of securities gains,  noninterest  income increased $256,000 (46.54%).
Increases in service charges on deposit  accounts  totaled  $56,000,  and were a
result of growth in the deposit base and changes on the service charge schedule.
Other  income  increased  $200,000  as the  result of  increases  in  returns on
investments  in low income  housing  projects.  The increase in other income was
attained in spite of an after tax adjustment to income from insurance operations
of $64,000. This adjustment was necessary as a result of the discovery of errors
in the  processing  of premiums  on sales of credit  life and  accident & health
insurance.  The third-party  insurance company,  which handles  underwriting and
policy  issuance,  mistakenly  over booked  premium  income and  related  policy
claims.  Management  discovered  this error in the third  quarter of 2000 when a
single large life insurance claim was reported twice.

    Overall,  noninterest  expenses  increased  11.55% in 2000 compared to 1999.
Salaries  and  employee  benefits   increased  7.57%.  These  increases  can  be
attributed  to  increases in base  salaries,  employee  benefits  and  increased
accruals for bonuses  attributable to a new incentive program beginning in 2000.
Other noninterest expense increased 17.93% or $216,000.  Factors contributing to
this increase  include  increased  depreciation  expense,  accruals for year-end
contributions  and higher  professional  fees.  Professional fees have increased
primarily  due to an  efficiency  study which was  commissioned  by the Board of
Directors  and  management.  Results of this study are yielding cost savings and
increases  in fee income  that are in the  process  of being  phased in and will
continue to yield results in future periods.

    Quarter Ending September 30, 2000

    Third quarter net income  decreased  18.45%  compared to the same quarter of
1999.  Securities  gains  decreased  $264,000 in 2000.  Exclusive  of this item,
earnings from  operations,  net of income tax expense,  was virtually  unchanged
from 1999 levels. Although average earning assets increased $12,172,000 over the
same period in 1999,  the  tax-equivalent  net interest  margin  increased  only
$34,000.  This was a result of the cost of funds on interest bearing liabilities
increasing  more rapidly than the increase in rates on earning assets  (increase
of .52% vs. increase of .22%). Rate increases by the Fed and strong  competition
for deposits were the factors causing these increases.

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


    Noninterest  income,  exclusive of  securities  gains,  increased  35.29% or
$66,000.  This was in spite of the $64,000  adjustment in insurance  income,  as
explained in the previous section.  Noninterest expenses increased 9.22% for the
third quarter of 2000. However,  increases in personnel related expenses were up
only .91%. Staff reductions (through attrition) were realized in the quarter and
were based upon  recommendations  made in the  previously  mentioned  efficiency
study. Other noninterest  expenses were up 26.05% in the quarter and reflect the
professional fees cited in the year to date discussion.

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, 2000, the market value of all securities  available for sale
exceeded their amortized cost by $912,000  ($572,000 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.

    Although securities markets have been volatile  throughout 2000,  unrealized
holding losses on the bond portfolio have decreased as long-term  interest rates
moderated  during  the  third  quarter.  Overall,  unrealized  gains  on  equity
securities  have  decreased  only $333,000 in spite of gains of $771,000  having
been realized within the year. The Company continues to hold equity  investments
in a number of large,  regional  financial  institutions  and a variety of other
predominantly blue-chip securities.  The Company continues to believe that these
investments  offer adequate  current returns  (dividends) and have the potential
for future increases in value.

    Loan Portfolio

    The Company  operates  in an  agriculturally  dominated  area in the western
portion of Virginia which includes the counties of Rockingham,  Page, Shenandoah
and  Augusta.  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.

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


Loan Portfolio (Continued)

    While lending is  geographically  diversified  within the service area,  the
Company does have some  concentration in agricultural  loans (primarily  poultry
farming). 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
monitors  its  past  due  loans  closely  and has not  experienced  higher  loan
delinquencies in this sector compared to the overall loan portfolio.

    The first nine months of 2000 resulted in a $9,499,000  increase in the loan
portfolio,  as loans  grew at an  annualized  rate of 9.03%.  This  increase  is
indicative  of the  strength  of the  local  economy.  Approximately  70% of the
increase is in real estate loans.  Although  competition  from other local banks
remains a concern,  a general  increase in secondary  market  interest rates has
resulted in the Bank  funding  more three and five year  adjustable  real estate
loans for its own portfolio.

    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. Nonperforming loans totaled $1,346,000 at September 30, 2000
compared to $1,917,000 at December 31, 1999. Approximately 93% 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.  As of September 30, 2000,
the Company did not hold any real estate that was acquired through foreclosure.

    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  $1,148,000  at September 30, 2000 was up
$58,000 from its level at December 31, 1999.  The allowance was equal to .77% of
total loans at September  30, 2000 and .78% at December  31, 1999.  Loan losses,
net of  recoveries  total  $31,000  through  three  quarters  of  2000.  This is
equivalent to an  annualized  loss rate of .03%. In recent years the Company has
had an  average  annual  loss  rate of  approximately  .06%,  which  is  roughly
one-fourth  the  rate  of  similar-sized  financial  institutions.  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. The annualized growth of deposits in the first nine
months of 2000 totaled 8.91%.  This growth was  concentrated  in certificates of
deposit,  and resulted  primarily from  promotional rate specials used to gather
deposits to support loan portfolio growth.

    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,
2000,  balances  in repo  accounts  totaled  $5,988,000  and are  included  with
short-term debt on the balance sheet.

    The Company purchases federal funds from other financial  institutions based
on liquidity  needs.  Total fed funds purchased as of September 30, 2000 totaled
$5,229,000.  The  Company  expects to  continue  to  purchase  funds in the near
future.

    Borrowings  from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) continue to be
an important  mechanism in funding real estate loans.  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 reduce
its exposure to interest rate  changes.  Due to  unattractive  rates of interest
offered by the FHLB and funds generated from deposit growth, no additional funds
have been borrowed in 2000. Normal repayments have totaled $2,414,000 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, 2000,  the  Company's  total risk based capital and
total capital to total assets ratios were 18.71% and 12.92%, 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 2000 of 15.79%.

    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.

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 interest
sensitive assets relative to interest  sensitive  liabilities over specific time
intervals.  The Company monitors its interest rate sensitivity  periodically and
makes  adjustments  as needed.  There are no off  balance  sheet items that will
impair future liquidity.

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

   Branch Acquisition

   On September 14, 2000, the Company's subsidiary Bank signed an agreement with
First Union Bank to acquire two First Union Bank branch  offices.  These offices
are located in the towns of Edinburg and Woodstock, Shenandoah County, Virginia.
The Bank will be acquiring  the  installment  loan  portfolios of each office as
well  as  demand  deposit,  savings  accounts,   certificates  of  deposits  and
individual retirement accounts.  The Edinburg facility is a leased facility. All
other fixed assets along with the  Woodstock  facility  will be purchased by the
Bank.

        As of November 3, 2000,  the  obligations  under this  agreement  are as
follows:

        Deposits to be assumed            $ 49,900,000
        Premiums paid First Union on
         deposits assumed                 $  6,700,000
        Installment loans to be assumed   $ 12,000,000

   On October 27, 2000 the Bank  received  Federal  Reserve Bank approval of the
purchases and is awaiting approval by the State Corporation  Commission's Bureau
of Financial Institutions.  The closing date for the transfer of the two offices
is scheduled for February 23, 2001.

       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.

    Existence of Securities and Exchange Commission Web Site

    The  Securities and Exchange  Commission  maintains a Web site that contains
reports,  proxy  and  information  statements  and other  information  regarding
registrants that file electronically  with the Commission,  including F & M Bank
Corp. and the address is (http: //www.sec.gov).

Table II reflects  the earlier of the  maturity or  repricing  dates for various
assets and  liabilities  as of September 30, 2000. In preparing the above table,
no  assumptions  were made with  respect  to loan  prepayments.  Loan  principal
payments are  included in the  earliest  period in which the loan matures or can
reprice. Principal payments on installment loans scheduled prior to maturity are
included in the period of maturity or repricing. Proceeds from the redemption of
investments  and  deposits  are  included in the period of  maturity.  Estimated
maturities of deposits,  which have no stated maturity dates,  were derived from
guidance contained in FDICIA 305.
