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%
