          have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles for interim financial information and with the instructions

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:
