ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS
               ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998.

FMS Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") may from time to time make written
or oral  "forward-looking  statements",  including  statements  contained in the
Corporation's  filings with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission  (including
this quarterly report on form 10-Q and the exhibits thereto),  in its reports to
stockholders and in other  communications by the Corporation,  which are made in
good faith by the  Corporation  pursuant to the "safe harbor"  provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These  forward-looking  statements  involve  risks  and  uncertainties,  such as
statements of the Corporation's plans, objectives,  expectations,  estimates and
intentions,  that are subject to change based on various important factors (some
of which are beyond the Corporation's  control).  The following  factors,  among
others, could cause the Corporation's financial performance to differ materially
from the plans, objectives,  expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in
such  forward-looking  statements:  The strength of the United States economy in
general  and the  strength  of the  local  economies  in which  the  Corporation
conducts operations;  the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal
policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the board of governors of
the federal  reserve  system,  inflation,  interest  rate,  market and  monetary
fluctuations;  the timely  development  of and  acceptance  of new  products and
services of the  Corporation  and the perceived  overall value of these products
and services by users,  including the features,  pricing and quality compared to
competitors'  products and  services;  the  willingness  of users to  substitute
competitors' products and services for the Corporation's  products and services;
the success of the  Corporation in gaining  regulatory  approval of its products
and services,  when required;  the impact of changes in financial services' laws
and  regulations  (including  laws  concerning  taxes,  banking,  securities and
insurance);  technological changes,  acquisitions;  changes in consumer spending
and saving  habits;  and the success of the  Corporation  at managing  the risks
involved in the foregoing.

The  Corporation  cautions that the foregoing  list of important  factors is not
exclusive.  The  Corporation  does not  undertake to update any  forward-looking
statement,  whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on
behalf of the Corporation.

General

FMS Financial Corporation ("the Corporation") is the parent company of Farmers &
Mechanics Bank ("the Bank"), its only subsidiary.

In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements of FMS Financial  Corporation contain all adjustments,  consisting of
normal recurring accruals,  necessary for a fair presentation of FMS's financial
condition,  results  of  operations  and cash  flows for the  periods  and dates
indicated.  The results of  operations  for the nine months ended  September 30,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal
year or any other interim period.

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions for FORM 10-Q, and therefore, do not include
all  information  and  notes  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of  financial
condition, results of operations and statements of cash flows in conformity with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  These statements should be read in
conjunction  with the  consolidated  statements  and  related  notes  which  are
incorporated  by reference to the  Corporation's  annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1998.

YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 issue concerns the potential impact of historic  computer software
code that only utilizes two digits to represent the calendar year (e.g. "99" for
"1999"). Software so developed could produce inaccurate or unpredictable results
upon the change to January 1, 2000,  when current and future  dates  represent a
lower two digit year number than dates in the prior century.  The Bank,  similar
to most financial institutions, is significantly subject to the potential impact
of the "Year 2000 issue" due to the nature of financial  information.  Potential
impact to the Bank may arise from software,  hardware, and equipment both within
the Bank's direct  control and outside of the Bank's  ownership,  yet with which
the Bank  electronically  or operationally  interfaces (e.g.  vendors  providing
credit bureau information).  Financial  institution  regulators have intensively
focused upon Year 2000 exposures,  issuing guidance  concerning an adequate Year
2000 program and the  responsibilities  of senior management and directors.  The
Bank has a Year 2000  compliance  program in place to ensure  that all  software
applications  will be Year 2000 certified  compliant.  The program includes Year
2000 committees  consisting of directors and executive officers of the Bank. The
purposes of the  committees  are to oversee and manage the Year 2000  compliance
program providing regular reports to the Board of Directors  detailing  progress
with the Year 2000 issue.  The Bank has  contacted all  significant  vendors and
suppliers  regarding their Year 2000  readiness.  These third party vendors have
delivered  written  assurance  that they are or expect to be Year 2000 compliant
prior to the end of 1999. At the current time management estimates its Year 2000
readiness  is at 97%.  The  following  table  provides a summary of the  current
status of the five phases involved in our Year 2000 readiness plan.

          ----------------------------------------------------------------------

              Project Phase      Percent          Projected Date      Comments
                                 Complete         of Completion

          Implementation            95%            October 1999     On Schedule
          Overall Completion        97%           November 1999     On Schedule


 At this  time  management  currently  estimates  Year 2000  compliance  cost at
between  $50,000 and  $150,000 of which  $72,000  was  expensed  during the nine
months ended  September 30, 1999. The Bank does not expect that these costs will
be material to its financial condition or results of operations.  Non-compliance
with the Year 2000 issue could have an adverse  affect on the  operations of the
business. Successful and timely completion of Year 2000 compliance is based upon
management's  best estimate  derived from various  assumptions  of future events
which are inherently uncertain, including the progress and results of the Bank's
testing  plans,  and all vendors,  suppliers and customers  readiness.  The Bank
continues in the process of updating contingency plans for each critical system,
in the event one of those  systems fail,  despite our best  efforts.  The Bank's
contingency plan is to provide resources during the weekend of December 31, 1999
and for the period of time afterward.  It is anticipated  that the Bank, and its
vendors will be able to overcome any  unforeseen  problems  associated  with the
millennium  change.

Despite  management's  best efforts to  address  the  Year  2000 issue, the vast
number of external entities that have direct and indirect business relationships
with the Bank, such as, customers,  vendors, payments system providers,  utility
companies, and other financial institutions, make it impossible to assure that a
failure to achieve  compliance by one or more of these entities would not have a
material adverse impact on the Bank's business or on the Company's  consolidated
statements.

At September 30, 1999, the recorded investment in loans for which impairment has
been recognized in accordance with SFAS Nos. 114 and 118 totaled $3.5 million of
which  $1.7  million  related  to loans  that  were  individually  measured  for
impairment with a valuation allowance of $686 thousand and $1.8 million of loans
that were collectively measured for impairment with a valuation allowance of $83
thousand.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 1999,  the average  recorded
investment in impaired loans was approximately $3.8 million. The Bank recognized
$113 thousand of interest income on impaired loans,  all of which was recognized
on the cash basis. The Bank had $3.8 million in total reserves for possible loan
losses at September 30, 1999,  representing  approximately  108% of  non-accrual
loans and 1% of total loans.

As of September 30,  1999 the Bank had  outstanding  loan  commitments  of $26.1
million, of which $19.3 million represented variable rate loans and $6.8 million
represented fixed rate loans. The Bank intends to fund these commitments through
scheduled  amortization  of loans  and  mortgage-backed  securities,  additional
borrowings  and if necessary  the sale of  investment  securities  available for
sale.

Mortgage-Backed  Securities Held to Maturity - increased $14.2 million to $104.8
million at  September  30, 1999 from $90.6  million at December  31,  1998.  The
increase is the result of the purchase of $35.1 million in FHLMC,  GNMA and FNMA
securities,   partially  offset  by  $20.9  million  in  principal   repayments.
Mortgage-backed  securities  at September  30, 1999  consisted of $75.7 in fixed
rate securities and $29.1 adjustable rate securities. Mortgage-backed securities
held to maturity at  September  30, 1999 and  December  31, 1998 are  summarized
below:

Asset  Classifications  -  are  monitored  by  management  on a  regular  basis.
Classified  assets  generally  consist of assets which have possible credit risk
and/or  have a  sufficient  degree  of risk or  potential  weakness  to  warrant
management's  close attention.  Total classified  assets decreased $226 thousand
during the nine months ended  September  30, 1999  resulting  from a decrease in
commercial  real  estate  of $165  thousand,  one-to-four  family  loans of $140
thousand,  consumer loans of $83 thousand and $9 thousand of loans classified as
loss,  partially offset by an increase in real estate owned of $146 thousand and
doubtful loans of $25 thousand.  The following table sets forth information with
respect to the Bank's classified assets at the dates indicated:

Deposits - increased  $46.1 million to $582.4 million at September 30, 1999 from
$536.3  million at  December  31,  1998 as a result of an  increase  in interest
bearing  checking  accounts of $21.0  million,  certificate of deposits of $12.1
million,  savings  accounts  of $10.1  million,  non-interest  bearing  checking
accounts  of $4.9  million,  partially  offset  by a  decrease  in money  market
accounts of $2.0 million.  Non-interest  checking accounts  increased due to the
promotion of "Free Personal" and "Free  Business"  checking  accounts.  Interest
credited to  depositor's  accounts for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999
amounted to $13.0  million.  The following  table set forth certain  information

Borrowings  - at  September  30,  1999  amounted  to $26.3  million.  Borrowings
included $10.0 million of 10% subordinated  debentures, $16.3 million in Federal
Home Loan Bank Advances with a weighted average interest rate of 6.00%.

Securities  Sold Under the Agreements to Repurchase - totaled $80.0 million with
an average  interest rate of 5.57%,  an average term of 5.7 years and an average
call of 1.7 years.


There are three (3) standards that a savings  institution  must satisfy in order
to meet its capital requirements under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991 "FDICIA".  The requirements  include a leverage ratio of
tier 1 (core)  capital  to  adjusted  total  assets of 4.0  percent,  a tangible
capital  standard  requirement  of 2.0 percent of total adjusted  assets,  and a
risk-based  capital  standard set at 8.0 percent of risk-weighted  assets.  If a
savings institution is not in compliance with applicable capital standards,  the
Office of Thrift  Supervision (OTS) can restrict the institutions  asset growth,
require the submission of a capital plan, and require  compliance with a capital
directive,  which may  include  restrictions  on the  payment of  dividends  and
compensation, and other restrictions determined to be appropriate by the OTS. At
September 30, 1999 the Bank exceeds all three current  capital  requirements  as
the Bank's core, tangible,  and risk-based capital ratios were 6.95%, 6.95%, and
18.72%, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -

General

The earnings of the Bank depend primarily upon the level of net interest income,
which is the difference between interest earned on its interest-earning  assets,
such as  loans  and  investments,  and  the  interest  paid on  interest-bearing
liabilities,  such as deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is a function
of the  interest  rate  spread,  which is the  difference  between the  weighted
average yield earned on  interest-earning  assets and the weighted  average rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the average balance of interest
earning-assets as compared to interest-bearing  liabilities.  Net income is also
affected by the provision  for loan losses and real estate  owned,  non-interest
income,  such as gains  (losses)  on sales of  loans  and  investments,  service
charges  and other  fees.  In  addition  to  interest  expense,  the Bank incurs
operating  expenses such as salaries and employee  benefits,  deposit  insurance
premiums,  depreciation,  occupancy and equipment expense and purchased services
expense.

The  Corporation  recorded net income for the three months ended  September  30,
1999 of $1.3  million,  or $.18  diluted  earnings per share as compared to $1.4
million,  or $.19  diluted  earnings  per share for the  comparable  three month
period in 1998.  Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $3.7
million, or $.51 diluted earnings per share as compared to $4.0 million, or $.54
diluted earnings per share for the comparable period in 1998.

Interest Rate Spread

The Bank's  interest  income is affected by the  difference  or  "interest  rate
spread" between yields earned by the Bank on its interest-earning assets and the
interest rates paid by the Bank on its  interest-bearing  liabilities  including
non-interest  checking  accounts.  Net  interest  income is  affected by (i) the
spread  between the yield  earned on  interest-earning  assets and the  interest
rates paid on interest-bearing  savings deposits including non-interest checking
accounts  and  borrowings  (liabilities),  and  (ii)  the  relative  amounts  of
interest-earning assets versus interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank's interest
rate spread varies over time because money fund accounts and other flexible rate
accounts  have  become  significant  sources of savings  deposits.  Income  from
investment  securities and  mortgage-backed  securities  depends upon the amount
invested during the period and the yields earned on such  securities.  The yield
on loans receivable  changes  principally as a result of existing  mortgage loan
repayments,  adjustable rate loan adjustments,  sales and the interest rates and
volume of new mortgage loans.

The  following  table  sets  forth  the  Bank's  weighted-average  yields on its
interest-earning   assets,   weighted-average   interest   rates   paid  on  its
interest-bearing  liabilities and weighted-average interest rate spreads for the
periods indicated:

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following  table describes the extent to which changes in interest rates and
changes in volume of interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing  liabilities
have affected the Bank's interest income and interest expense during the periods
indicated.  For each category of  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing
liabilities,  information is provided on changes  attributable to (i) changes in
volume,  (ii)  changes in rate and (iii)  total  changes in rate and volume (the
combined  effect of changes in both volume and rate, not separately  identified,
has been allocated to rate).

</TABLE>

Net  Interest  Income - for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1999
totaled $5.7 million and $16.6 million,  respectively.  Net interest  income for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased $279 thousand as compared to
the same period in 1998 due  primarily  to an  increase  in  interest  income on
investment   securities  of  $580  thousand,  an  increase  in  mortgage  backed
securities of $70 thousand and a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $38
thousand,  partially  offset by a decrease in  interest  income on loans of $426
thousand.

The increase in interest income on investment  securities was due to an increase
in the average  balance of the portfolio of $45.3 million to $294.0  million for
the three  months  ended  September  30, 1999 from  $248.7  million for the same
period in 1998,  which resulted in a volume  increase in interest income of $748
thousand.  The average balance  increase in investments was primarily due to the
net purchase of $41.5  million of U.S.  Agency  notes.  The average yield on the
investment  portfolio  decreased  23 basis  points to 6.37% for the three months
ended  September  30, 1999 from 6.60% for the three months ended  September  30,
1998, which resulted in a decrease in interest income of $168 thousand.

Interest  income on loans decreased a total of $426 thousand to $5.7 million for
the three months ended  September 30, 1999 from $6.1 million for the same period
in 1998  principally due to a 51 basis points  decrease in the loan  portfolio's
average rate to 7.51% for the three months ended  September  30, 1999 from 8.02%
for the three months ended  September 30, 1998,  which resulted in a decrease in
interest  income of $383  thousand.  The average  balance of the loan  portfolio
decreased  $2.1 million to $301.3  million for the three months ended  September
30, 1999 from $303.4  million for the same period in 1998,  which  resulted in a
decrease in interest income of $43 thousand.

                                       13

Interest  income on mortgage  backed  securities  increased $70 thousand to $1.6
million for the three  months ended  September  30, 1999 as compared to the same
period in 1998,  which  was  primarily  due to a $7.3  million  increase  in the
average  balance of the  portfolio  to $96.7  million for the three months ended
September  30, 1999.  This resulted in a volume  increase in interest  income of
$128 thousand.  The average yield of the portfolio  decreased 24 basis points to
6.73% for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999 from 6.97% for the same
period in 1998, which resulted in a decrease in interest income of $58 thousand.

Interest  expense on deposits  decreased $38 thousand for the three months ended
September  30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 which was due to a lower
average rate paid on deposits,  principally  lower CD rates  coupled with higher
relative  balances  in our  non-interest  "Free  Checking"  and  "Free  Business
Checking" products. Overall deposit rates decline 42 basis points to 3.15% which
decreased  interest  expense $598 thousand for the three months ended  September
30, 1999 from the  comparable  period in 1998.  Higher overall  average  deposit
balances increased interest expense $560 thousand.

Net interest  income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased $398
thousand  to $16.6  million  from $16.2  million for the same period in 1998 due
primarily to an increase in interest  income on  investment  securities  of $1.0
million  and a decrease in interest  expense on  deposits of $374  thousand  and
borrowings of $178  thousand,  partially  offset by a $984 thousand  decrease in
interest income on loans.

The increase in interest  income on  investment  securities  for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1999 as compared to the same period in 1998 was due to an
increase in the average balance of the investment  portfolio of $49.6 million to
$289.1 million for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 from $239.5 million
for the same period in 1998, which resulted in an increase in interest income of
$2.5 million.  The average yield on the investment  portfolio decreased 66 basis
points to 5.95% for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 from 6.61% for the
same period in 1998, which resulted  in a decrease  in  interest  income of $1.4
million.

Interest income on loans decreased a total of $984 thousand to $17.2 million for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 from $18.2 million for the same period
in  1998.  This was  principally  due to a 36 basis  point  decline  in the loan
portfolio's  average yield to 7.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
from 7.99% for the same period in 1998 which  resulted in a decrease in interest
income of $807 thousand.  The average balance of loans decreased $3.0 million to
$301.1  million for the month ended  September 30, 1999 from $304.1  million for
the same period in 1998,  which resulted in a volume decrease in interest income
of $177 thousand.

Interest  expense on deposits  decreased  $374 thousand to $13.3 million for the
nine months  ended  September  30, 1999  compared to $13.7  million for the same
period in 1998.  Average interest rates on deposits decreased 40 basis points to
3.19% for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999 from  3.59% for the same
period in 1998 which resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $1.7 million.
The average  balance on deposits  increased  $48.3 million to $556.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $508.6 million for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1998 which  resulted in an  increase in interest expense of
$1.3 million.

                                       14
<PAGE>

The decrease in interest  expense on  borrowings  of $178  thousand for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1999  compared  to the  same  period  in 1998 was
primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of borrowings of $4.1 million
to $96.4  million  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999 from $100.5
million  for the same period in 1998,  which  resulted in a decrease in interest
expense of $174 thousand.

Provision  for Loan Losses - for the three and nine months ended  September  30,
1999 remained constant at $60 thousand and $180 thousand,  respectively compared
to 1998. The  determination  of the allowance  level for loan losses is based on
management's analysis of the risk characteristics of various  classifications of
loans,  previous loan loss  experience,  estimated  fair value of the underlying
collateral  and  current  economic  conditions.  Accordingly,  there  can  be no
assurance  that  future  provisions  for loan  losses  will not  increase  or be
necessary.  Most of the Bank's lending activity is with customers located within
southern New Jersey.  Generally, the loans are secured by real estate consisting
of single family residential  properties.  While this represents a concentration
of credit risk,  the credit  losses  arising  from this type of lending  compare
favorably  with the Bank's  credit loss  experience on its portfolio as a whole.
The ultimate  repayment  of these loans is dependent to a certain  degree on the
local economy and real estate market.

Other  Income - for the three and nine months ended  September  30, 1999 totaled
$754 thousand and $2.4 million,  respectively,  increasing  $163 thousand during
the three month period and $626  thousand in the first nine month period of 1999
when compared to the same periods in 1998.

Operating  Expenses - for the three month and nine months  ended  September  30,
1999  amounted to $4.4 million and $13.0  million,  respectively  as compared to
$3.8 million and $11.5 million for the same periods in 1998.


                                       15

Salaries  and  Employee  Benefits - for the three and nine month  periods  ended
September 30, 1999 were $2.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively, as compared
to $2.1 million and $6.7 million for the same periods in 1998.  The increase was
due to additional  staff in the 3 new branches opened since the third quarter of
1998, as well as an increase in branch staff for additional  hours,  principally
additional  "Sunday Banking" hours from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Average full time
equivalent  employees  at  September  30,  1999 were 374 as  compared  to 331 at
September 30, 1998.

Occupancy and  Equipment - for the three and nine month periods ended  September
30, 1999 amounted to $872 thousand and $2.6 million,  respectively,  as compared
to $741 thousand and $2.2 million for the same periods in 1998.  The increase is
the  result  of  additional  depreciation  and  occupancy expenses  on  the  new
branches opened, as well as other facility  improvements and equipment additions
since September 30, 1998.

Purchased  Services - for the three and nine month periods  ended  September 30,
1999 amounted to $387 thousand and $1.1  million,  respectively,  as compared to
$334  thousand  and $949  thousand  for the same  periods in 1998.  MAC  charges
increased $77 thousand and check  processing  costs have  increased $73 thousand
for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999 due to higher  transaction  volume
from an increase in the number of checking accounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Bank's  liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans,  withdrawals of
deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost effective manner. The Bank's primary
sources of funds are deposits and scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan
principal.  To a lesser extent, the Bank obtains funds from sales and maturities
of mortgage-backed securities, investment securities, and short-term investments
and  borrowings.  During the past  several  years,  the Bank has used such funds
primarily to meet ongoing  commitments to fund maturing time deposits and saving
withdrawals,  fund  existing and  continuing  loan  commitments  and to maintain
liquidity.  While  loan  payments,   maturing  investments  and  mortgage-backed
securities are a relatively  predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan
prepayments  are  greatly   influenced  by  general  interest  rates,   economic
conditions and competition. The Bank's liquidity is also influenced by the level
of demand for funding loan organizations.

The Bank is required under applicable federal  regulations to maintain specified
levels of "liquid  assets",  which  include  obligations  of the  United  States
government  and federal  agencies and other  approved  investments.  Regulations
currently in effect require the Bank to maintain  liquid assets of not less than
4% of its net  withdrawable  accounts plus short-term  borrowings.  The Bank has
generally  maintained  liquidity  in  excess  of  required  levels.  The  Bank's
regulatory liquidity was 53.27% at September 30, 1999 and 31.35% at December 31,
1998.

ITEM 3:  DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK

The Bank's financial  performance is impacted by, among other factors,  interest
rate  risk.  Interest  rate risk is the risk of loss in value due to  changes in
interest rates. This risk is addressed by the Bank's Asset Liability  Management
Committee  ("ALCO"),  which includes  senior  management.  The ALCO monitors and
considers  methods of managing  interest rate risk by monitoring  changes in the
interest rate repricing  GAP, the net portfolio  values ("NPV") and net interest
income under various  interest rate  scenarios.  The ALCO attempts to manage the
various  components of the Bank's balance sheet to minimize the impact of sudden
and sustained changes in interest rates through GAP, NPV and net interest income
scenarios.  The Bank's  exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on a periodic
basis by the Board of Directors  and the ALCO.  The  principal  objective of the
ALCO is to maximize income within  acceptable  levels as established by the risk
policy.  The Board of Directors  may direct  management  to adjust its asset and
liability mix to bring interest rate risk within Board approved limits. The Bank
has  developed  strategies  to  manage  its  liquidity,  shorten  the  effective
maturities  of  certain  interest-earning  assets  and  increase  the  effective
maturities  of certain  liabilities,  to reduce the  exposure to  interest  rate
fluctuations.  These strategies  include  focusing its investment  activities on
short and  medium-term  securities,  maintaining  and increasing the transaction
deposit accounts, as these accounts are considered to be relatively resistant to
changes in interest  rates and utilizing FHLB  borrowings and deposit  marketing
programs  to adjust  the term or  repricing  of its  liabilities.  There were no
significant  changes  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999 from the
information  presented  in the  annual  report on Form  10-K for the year  ended
December 31, 1998.
