ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. was incorporated on February 25,
1985, under the laws of the State of Ohio. Farmers & Merchants
Bancorp, Inc., and its subsidiaries The Farmers & Merchants State Bank
and Farmers & Merchants Life Insurance Company are engaged in
commercial banking and life and disability insurance, respectively.
The executive offices of Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. are located
at 307-11 North Defiance Street, Archbold, Ohio 43502.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 comes primarily
from net income from operations of $6.2 million and increases in
deposits of $16.8 million. This compares with net income of $4.1
million and deposit increases of $2.5 million for the same period for
1997. Total deposits as of September 30, 1998 were $478,056 million
compared to $461 million as of December 31, 1997. A concerted
marketing effort continues to be made in order to attract more core
deposits to help maintain an acceptable net interest margin.
The principal uses of these funds were for granting loans. Loans as of
September 30, 1998 were $402.2 million compared to $390.8 million as
of December 31, 1997, a $11.4 million or 2.9% increase after
reclassification of $7.8 million of commercial paper from the loan
category to other investments. December 31, 1997 and September 30,
1997 loans and investments have been restated to reflect this change
in classification.
Capital expenditures amounted to $1.8 million for the first nine
months of 1998.
The following is a summary of five capital ratios as they are
calculated from the September 30, 1998 financial statements:
<TABLE>

Primary Ratio 10.87%
Total Capital Ratio 12.74%
Risk Based Capital Tier 1 14.22%
