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 three months ended March 31, 1998
comes primarily from net income from operations of $2.1 million
and increases in deposits of $3.3 million. This compares with
net income of $1.7 million and deposit increases of $5.1
million for the same period for 1997. Total deposits as of
March 31, 1998 were $464 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 March 31, 1998 were $407.6 million compared
to $390.8 million as of December 31, 1997, a $16.8 million or
4.3% increase after reclassification of $7.8 million of
commercial paper from the loan category to other investments.
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1997 loans and investments have
been restated to reflect this change in classification.
Capital expenditures amounted to $286 thousand for the
first three months of 1998.
The following is a summary of five capital ratios as they
are calculated from the March 31, 1998 financial
statements:
Primary Ratio 10.46%
Total Capital Ratio 12.52%
Risk Based Capital Tier 1 14.26%
Risk Based Capital Tier 2 19.07%
Stockholders' Equity/Total Assets 9.46%
