Part I

Item 1. Description of Business

General

F & M Bank Corp., incorporated in Virginia in 1983, is a one-bank holding
company pursuant to section 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, and
owns 100% of the outstanding stock of its two affiliates, Farmers & Merchants
Bank (Bank) and TEB Life Insurance Company (TEB). Farmers & Merchants Financial
Services, Inc. (FMFS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Farmers & Merchants Bank.

Farmers & Merchants Bank was chartered on April 15, 1908, as a state
chartered bank under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. TEB was
incorporated on January 27, 1988, as a captive life insurance company under the
laws of the State of Arizona. FMFS is a Virginia chartered corporation and was
incorporated on February 25, 1993.

The Bank offers all services normally offered by a full-service commercial
bank, including commercial and individual demand and time deposit accounts,
repurchase agreements for commercial customers, commercial and individual loans,
trust services, and drive-in banking services. TEB was organized to re-insure
credit life and accident and health insurance currently being sold by the Bank
in connection with its lending activities. FMFS was organized to write title
insurance but now provides other financial services to customers of Farmers &
Merchants Bank.

The Bank makes various types of commercial and consumer loans and has a
heavy concentration of residential and agricultural real estate loans. The Bank
has continued to experience good loan demand throughout 2000 due to the strong
local and national economies. The local economy is relatively diverse with
strong employment in the agricultural, manufacturing, service and governmental
sectors.

The operations of F & M Bank Corp., the Bank, TEB, and FMFS are conducted in
Timberville, Virginia, in offices located at 205 South Main Street. The Bank has
branches at 127 West Rockingham Street, Elkton, Virginia, at the corner of Route
259 and 259 Alternate, Broadway, Virginia, at Highway 33 West at Elkton Plaza,
Elkton, Virginia, and at 100 Plaza Drive, Bridgewater, Virginia. As of February
23, 2001, the Bank acquired two branch offices from First Union National Bank
located at 120 South Main Street, Edinburg, Virginia and 161 South Main Street,
Woodstock, Virginia.

On December 31, 2000, F & M Bank Corp., the Bank, TEB and FMFS had
fifty-three full-time and twenty-one part-time employees. Staff in the two
offices acquired from First Union National Bank total eight full-time and five
part-time employees. No one employee devotes full-time services to F&M Bank
Corp.

Competition

The Bank's offices compete with approximately sixteen financial
institutions. These other institutions include state and nationally chartered
banks, as well as nationally chartered savings banks. The main office and the
Broadway branch serve the northern portion of Rockingham County, Virginia and
the southwestern portion of Shenandoah County. The Elkton branches serve the
town of Elkton, the eastern portion of Rockingham County, and the southern
portion of Page County. The Bridgewater office serves the Town of Bridgewater,
the southern portion of Rockingham County and the northwestern portion of
Augusta County. The newly acquired offices in Shenandoah County will serve the
towns of Edinburg and Woodstock and the surrounding areas. Bank competition in
the area of all offices is very strong.

Item 1. Description of Business (Continued)

Regulation and Supervision

The operations of F & M Bank Corp. and the Bank are subject to federal and
state statutes, which apply to state member banks of the Federal Reserve System.

The stock of F & M Bank Corp. is subject to the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1934. F & M Bank Corp. is subject to the periodic
reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These include,
but are not limited to, the filing of annual, quarterly and other current
reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

F & M Bank Corp., as a bank holding company, is subject to the provisions of
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"). It is registered
as such and is supervised by the Federal Reserve Board. The Act requires F & M
Bank Corp. to secure the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before F &
M Bank Corp. acquires ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares,
or substantially all of the assets of any institution, including another bank.

As a bank holding company, F & M Bank Corp. is required to file with the
Federal Reserve Board an annual report and such additional information as it may
require pursuant to the Act. The Federal Reserve Board may also conduct
examinations of F & M Bank Corp. and any or all of its subsidiaries. Under
Section 106 of the 1970 Amendments to the Act and the regulations of the Federal
Reserve Board, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from
engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with an extension of
credit, provision of credit, sale, or lease of property or furnishing of
services.

Federal Reserve Board regulations permit bank holding companies to engage in
non-banking activities closely related to banking or to managing or controlling
banks. These activities include the making or servicing of loans, performing
certain data processing services, and certain leasing and insurance agency
activities. TEB Life acts as the primary re-insurer for credit life insurance
sold through the Bank. F & M Bank Corp. owns an interest in the Johnson Williams
Project in Berryville, Virginia which provides housing for the elderly and lower
income tenants. Since 1994, the Company has entered into agreements with the
Housing Equity Fund of Virginia to purchase equity positions in the Housing
Equity Fund of Virginia II, III, IV, V and Historic Equity Fund I. These funds
provide housing for low income persons throughout Virginia. Approval of the
Federal Reserve Board is necessary to engage in any of the other activities
described above or to acquire interests engaging in these activities.

The Bank as a state member bank is supervised and regularly examined by the
Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board. Such
supervision and examination by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions and
the Federal Reserve Board is intended primarily for the protection of depositors
and not for the stockholders of F & M Bank Corp.

The information required by Guide 3 has been included under Item 6,
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation in which the
Company or its subsidiaries may be involved as a defendant. In the normal course
of business, the Bank periodically must initiate suits against borrowers as a
final course of action in collecting past due loans.

Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

(a) Market Information

Farmers & Merchants Bank acts as the transfer agent for F & M Bank Corp.
There have been sufficient inquiries on the National Stock Exchange so that the
Company is required to report on any stock or cash dividend to the National
Association of Security Dealers. The 'bid' and 'asked' price of the Company's
stock is not published in any newspaper. Scott & Stringfellow in Richmond,
Virginia, makes a market for the stock and the firm has provided market quotes
in recent years.

The prices presented are bid prices, which represent prices between
broker-dealers and don't include retail mark-ups and markdowns or any commission
to the dealer. The prices may not reflect actual transactions and other
transactions may have occurred which were not reported to the Company. Stock
quotes can also be found on financial websites on the Internet by using the
stock symbol "FMBM".

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions
and Results of Operations

OPERATIONS ANALYSIS - 2000 Compared to 1999

Overview

The Company's net income for 2000 decreased $162,320 or 4.26% from 1999
earnings. Net income per share decreased from $1.55 in 1999 to $1.49 in 2000.
The Company's decline in earnings was the result of a combination of factors
summarized below. See Table I (page 17) for a five year summary of operations.

Net Interest Margin

The net weighted interest margin on earning assets on a tax equivalent basis
decreased from 4.52% in 1999 to 4.32% in 2000. An increase in the yield on
earning assets from 8.17% in 1999 to 8.22% in 2000 was more than offset by an
increase in the cost of funds from 4.40% in 1999 to 4.79% in 2000. The Company's
net yield on average earning assets of 4.32% is in line with its peer group.

Yields on loans increased from 8.81% in 1999 to 8.83% in 2000. A decrease in
average yields on real estate loans was offset by increases in rates on
commercial and installment loans. To balance its interest rate risk on fixed
rate loans, the Bank borrows from the Federal Home Loan Bank at fixed rates
which are determined by market conditions. This program has helped the Bank meet
the needs of its customers who might otherwise have gone to another financial
institution seeking fixed rate loans.

Tax equivalent yields on securities decreased to 6.15% in 2000 from 6.34% in
1999. This decrease was primarily a result of higher rate callable securities
being called and replaced with lower rate non-callable securities. Average
investments increased 4.38% from the previous year. The Company's philosophy of
investing only in securities with short to intermediate maturities allows it to
be responsive to interest rate movements within the market place.

The rates paid on interest bearing deposits increased to 4.62% in 2000 from
4.22% in 1999. Rates on interest bearing demand and savings accounts were
virtually unchanged from the prior year. Rates on time deposits increased 45
basis points from 5.20% to 5.65%. This increase was caused by strong competition
for deposits and the need to offer "specials" to attract and retain deposits.
Average time deposits increased $10,827,000 from 1999 levels and the additional
funds were used to support loan growth. Interest-bearing demand and savings
accounts decreased as customers moved to the more attractive pricing of the
"special" time deposits.

The cost of FHLB debt was virtually unchanged as the Bank only borrowed
$1,000,000 in 2000. Regularly scheduled payments resulted in a $2,973,000
decrease in average outstandings. All FHLB debt is at fixed rates for terms
ranging between five and ten years. Yields on short-term debt, which include
overnight federal funds purchased and commercial repurchase agreements,
increased 148 basis points. The cost of both these sources of funding are tied
to the federal funds rate as set by the Federal Open Market Committee of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.

Table II (page 18) contains a complete yield analysis for the last three
years and Table III (page 19) contains the rate/volume changes in these years.


8

NONINTEREST INCOME

The Company realized gains of $769,704 in 2000 and $1,179,683 in 1999 on
the sale of corporate stocks. The gains came from several market sectors
including telecommunications, biotechnology, paper products and electric
utilities. The sectors represented by these gains are representative of the
Company's efforts in recent years to diversify the portfolio away from an
over-concentration in regional banking franchises. Other noninterest income
increased 13.33% in 2000 from 1999 levels. The increase is attributed to an
increase in service charges on deposit accounts, fees generated from the Bank's
contract with its check vendor and interchange fees from increased use of its
debit cards.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES

Noninterest expense increased $339,862 or 7.88% in 2000 over 1999 levels.
Salaries and employee benefits increased 7.78% due to increased staffing, normal
salary increases, higher health insurance premiums and increased pension
expense. Other noninterest expenses increased $138,836 (8.02%). Depreciation
expense increased $39,452 and resulted from a full years use of the Operations
Center and related equipment which was placed in service in September 1999.
Professional fees increased $84,017, due primarily from a project conducted by a
firm of efficiency experts. This expense was offset in part by increases in
noninterest income from the enactment of recommendations resulting from the
study. Cost savings and increases to noninterest income from this study should
continue into the foreseeable future. The Company's overall cost of operations
relative to asset size compares favorably to its peer group.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

Management evaluates the loan portfolio in light of national and local
economic trends, changes in the nature and value of the portfolio and industry
standards. Specific factors considered by management in determining the adequacy
of the level of the allowance for loan losses include internally generated loan
review reports, past due reports and historical loan loss experience. This
review also considers concentrations of loans in terms of geography, business
type or level of risk. Management evaluates nonperforming loans relative to
their collateral value and makes the appropriate adjustments to the allowance
for loan losses when needed. Based on the factors outlined above, the current
year provision for loan losses decreased from $140,000 in 1999 to $123,000 in
2000. Loan losses decreased from $211,914 in 1999 to $105,345 in 2000. Loan
losses as a percentage of total loans totaled .07% and continue to be
significantly below the Bank's peer group average.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets increased 6.90% during the year to $208,817,894. Loan growth
was steady throughout the year with total loans increasing $11,717,083 or 8.35%.
Funding for the growth came from increases in short-term debt, noninterest
bearing deposits and time deposits. These funding sources were also was
sufficient to allow proceeds from securities sales and maturities to be
reinvested in additional securities.


9

LIQUIDITY

Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold,
investments and loans maturing within one year. The Company's ability to obtain
deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates determines its liquidity
exposure. As a result of the Company's management of liquid assets and the
ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes
that the Company maintains overall liquidity to satisfy depositors' requirements
and meet its customers' credit needs.

To further meet its liquidity needs, the Company maintains lines of credit
with correspondent financial institutions. The Company's subsidiary bank also
has a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta that allows for
secured borrowings. Traditionally, growth in deposits and proceeds from maturing
investment securities have been sufficient to fund most of the net increase in
loans and investment securities.

1999 COMPARED TO 1998 OPERATIONS

Net income in 1999 increased 8.73% over net income in 1998.

Gains on securities transactions decreased $68,702 or 5.50%. The Company
continued its strategy of selectively selling common stocks that have shown
sizable long-term appreciation. Other noninterest income increased 48.60%. The
increase is attributed to an increase in service charges on deposit accounts and
increases in commissions generated from sales of insurance and investment
products.

Noninterest expense increased $433,012 or 11.16% in 1999 over 1998 levels.
Salaries and employee benefits increased 17.56% due to increased staffing,
normal salary increases, higher health insurance premiums and increased pension
expense. Other noninterest expenses increased $47,188 (2.80%). The increase was
spread over a variety of expense categories, with no single area increasing
significantly. The Company's overall cost of operations relative to asset size
compares favorably to its peer groups and to larger statewide institutions.

UNCERTAINTIES AND TRENDS

General

Management is of the opinion that loans classified for regulatory purposes
as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention do not (i) represent or
result from trends or uncertainties which are reasonably expected to materially
impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources, or (ii)
represent material credits which any available information causes serious doubts
as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

Management is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that
will have or that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the issuers
liquidity, capital resources or operations of the issuer. Additionally,
management is not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory
authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have such an effect.


10

BALANCE SHEET

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Average balances in investment securities increased 4.38% in 2000 compared
to 1999. The Company maintains a high level of earning assets in investment
securities to provide for liquidity, as security for public indebtedness and to
secure repurchase agreements. A schedule of investment securities is shown in
note 4 of the consolidated financial statements.

The Company accounts for investments under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities." This statement requires all securities to be classified at the
point of purchase as trading securities, available for sale or held to maturity.
See note 2d of the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the
accounting policies for investments. The Company values its debt securities
based on information supplied by its correspondent banks for actively traded
obligations and by market comparison with similar obligations for non-rated
investments. Investments in common stocks are based on the last trades as
provided by the Wall Street Journal.

Yields and Maturities

The yields on taxable and nontaxable investments for 2000, 1999 and 1998 are
shown in the yield analysis in Table II (page 18). The carrying amount and
estimated market value of debt securities (in thousands of dollars) at December
31, 2000 by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will
differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call
or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Total $ 37,519 $ 38,680 6.18%
======== ======= ======

Yields on tax-exempt securities and equities are stated at tax equivalent
yields.

Management's philosophy is to keep the maturities of investments relatively
short which allows the Company to better match deposit maturities with
investment maturities and thus react more quickly to interest rate changes.


11

INVESTMENT SECURITIES (CONTINUED)

Mortgage-backed Securities

The Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities as of December 31,
2000, is shown in the following schedule:

Book Fair
Issuer Value Value

Pass through obligations

FNMA & FHLMC $ 135 $ 136
GNMA 2,449 2,435
-------- --------

Total $ 2,584 $ 2,571
======== ========

The mortgage-backed securities purchased by the Company are guaranteed by
the issuing agency and are all rated AAA. Obligations issued by the GNMA are
backed by FHA or VA insured mortgages and obligations issued by the FNMA or
FHLMC are backed by conventional mortgages. Bonds with fixed principal payments
have a market risk and interest rate risk similar to other federal agency
securities. The pass through obligations are sensitive to prepayment and
extension risk which affect the securities exposure to market risk. As interest
rates move higher, prepayments slow down and the average life increases. As
interest rates move lower, the prepayments increase and the average life
decreases. The Company's mortgage-backed securities were purchased at a premium
which will cause yields to rise as interest rates and average life increases.
Conversely, the yields will fall as interest rates fall and the average life
decreases.

Equity Investments

The Company has investments in common and preferred stock totaling
$10,853,533 at December 31, 2000, with an estimated market value of $11,941,891.
The investments include common stocks of other bank holding companies and other
common stocks which were purchased with the objective of realizing capital
gains. Preferred stocks of public utilities and other quality companies have
been purchased to obtain competitive yields after the 70% corporate dividend
exclusion. The market value of these investments is sensitive to general trends
in the stock market and fluctuations in interest rates.

Corporate Bonds

The Company has invested in high quality corporate debt obligations. The
estimated fair value at December 2000 of the Company's corporate bonds was
$9,479,850 compared with book value of $9,499,943. The bonds were purchased
primarily as short-term investments and maturities extend to 2004.


12

RISK ELEMENTS IN THE LOAN PORTFOLIO

The Company's loan portfolio totaled $152,034,979 at December 31, 2000
compared with $140,317,896 at the beginning of the year. The Company's policy
has been to make conservative loans that are held for future interest income.
Collateral required by the Company is determined on an individual basis
depending on the purpose of the loan and the financial condition of the
borrower.

The Company's commercial and agricultural loans increased 4.11% during 2000
to $32,987,085. The composition of the loans as of December 31, 2000 is shown in
the following schedule:

Commercial and Agricultural Loans
(In thousands)
Secured by
Real Estate Other Total

Commercial $ 17,715 $ 7,913 $ 25,628
Agricultural 5,354 1,302 6,656
Multi family residential 703 703
-------- ------- -------

$ 23,772 $ 9,215 $ 32,987
======== ======= =======

The majority of commercial loans are made to small retail, manufacturing
and service businesses.

The Company's mortgage loans increased 10.05% from $84,019,312 to
$92,463,872 at December 31, 2000. Residential real estate loans are generally
made for a period not to exceed 25 years and are secured by a first deed of
trust which does not exceed 95% of the appraised value. If the loan to value
ratio exceeds 90%, the Company requires additional collateral, guarantees or
mortgage insurance. On approximately 80% of the real estate loans, interest is
adjustable after each three or five year period. Fixed rate loans are generally
made for a fifteen-year or a twenty-year period with an interest rate adjustment
after ten years. Since 1992, fixed rate real estate loans have been funded with
fixed rate borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which allows the Company
to control its interest rate risk. In addition, the Company makes home equity
loans secured by second deeds of trust with total indebtedness not to exceed 90%
of the appraised value. Home equity loans are made for three, five or seven year
periods at a fixed rate or as a revolving line of credit.

The Company's consumer installment loans increased 15.73% to $20,927,176 at
December 31, 2000. Consumer loans are made for a variety of reasons, however,
approximately 60% of the loans are secured by automobiles and trucks.

The Company's market area has a stable economy, which tends to be less
cyclical than the national economy. Major industries in the market area include
agricultural production and processing, higher education, retail sales, services
and light manufacturing. The agricultural production and processing industry is
a major contributor to the local economy and its performance and growth tend to
be cyclical in nature, however, this cyclical nature is offset by other stable
industries in the trade area. In addition to direct agricultural loans, a large
percentage of residential real estate loans and consumer installment loans are
made to borrowers whose income is derived from the agricultural sector of the
economy. A large percentage of the agricultural loans are made to poultry
growers. During 2000, the poultry industry suffered from the Corona virus. This
virus results in a lack of weight gain in the poultry and reduced revenue to the
grower. If these conditions persist, the Company may expect higher delinquency
rates or a need to modify the repayment terms of some poultry related loans. To
this point delinquencies have not increased and the Company is continuously
monitoring the status of its portfolio.

During 2000, real estate values in the Company's market area for
commercial, agricultural and residential property increased, on the average,
between 2% and 5% depending on the location and type of property. Approximately
80% of the Company's loans are secured by real estate, however, policies
relating to appraisals and loan to value ratios are adequate to control the
related risk.

RISK ELEMENTS IN THE LOAN PORTFOLIO (CONTINUED)

Unemployment rates in the Company's market area tend to be below both the
national and state averages. The unemployment rate for the month of January 2000
for Rockingham County was 1.1% compared with 2.8% for Virginia and 4.2% for the
nation. The trend in employment in the area has a positive effect on the ability
of borrowers to repay loans.

The following table shows the Company's loan maturity distribution
(in thousands of dollars) as of December 31, 2000:

NONACCRUAL AND PAST DUE LOANS

The following table shows loans placed in a nonaccrual status and loans
contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments (in
thousands):

December 31,
2000 1999 1998
---- ---- ----

Nonaccruing loans $ 664 $ None $ None
Loans past due 90 days or more 421 1,917 2,059
Percentage to total loans .71% 1.37% 1.56%

Interest accruals are continued on past due, secured loans until the
principal and accrued interest equal the value of the collateral and on
unsecured loans until the financial condition of the creditor deteriorates to
the point that any further accrued interest would be determined to be
uncollectible. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, there were no restructured loans
on which interest was accruing at a reduced rate or on which payments had been
extended.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS

At December 31, 2000, management had identified loans of $1,267,971 as
potential problem loans. These loans are not classified as nonaccrual or past
due and management does not anticipate losses on these loans as collateral is
considered adequate. The status of these loans is monitored closely and losses,
if any, would not be material.

Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or
special mention do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which
management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results,
liquidity or capital resources. Nor do they represent material credits about
which management is aware of any information which causes management to have
serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan
repayment terms.

LOAN CONCENTRATIONS

At December 31, 2000, no industry category exceeded ten percent of total
loans.

LOAN LOSSES AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

For each period presented, the provision for loan losses charged to
operations is based on management's judgment after taking into consideration all
factors connected with the collectibility of the existing portfolio. Management
evaluates the loan portfolio in light of economic conditions, changes in the
nature and value of the portfolio, industry standards and other relevant
factors. Specific factors considered by management in determining the amounts
charged to operations include internally generated loan review reports, past due
reports and historical loan loss experience. This review also considers
concentrations of loans in terms of geography, business type or level of risk.
Management evaluates nonperforming loans relative to their collateral value and
makes appropriate adjustments to the allowance for loan losses when needed.

The Bank has not experienced significant loan losses in any of the last
three years. While 1999 losses increased relative to prior years, the loss rate
of .16% of average loans outstanding is still below the Company's peer group.
During 2000, losses returned to historic levels and continue to be well below
peer average. The overall level of the allowance is well below peer group
averages. Management feels this is appropriate based on its loan loss history
and the composition of its loan portfolio. The current allowance for loan losses
is equal to approximately eight years average loan losses. Based on historical
losses, delinquency rates, a thorough review of the loan portfolio and after
considering the elements of the preceding paragraph, management is of the
opinion that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb future losses
in the current portfolio.

A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses for 2000, 1999,
and 1998 follows:

LOAN LOSSES AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

The Company has allocated the allowance according to the amount deemed to be
reasonably necessary to provide for the possibility of losses being incurred
within each of the above categories of loans. The allocation of the allowance as
shown below should not be interpreted as an indication that loan losses in
future years will occur in the same proportions or that the allocation indicates
future loan loss trends. Furthermore, the portion allocated to each loan
category is not the total amount available for future losses that might occur
within such categories since the total allowance is a general allowance
applicable to the entire portfolio.

The following table shows the balance and percentage of the Company's
allowance for loan losses allocated to each major category of loans:

DEPOSITS

The Bank recognized an increase in yearend deposits in 2000 of 9.21%. The
Bank has traditionally avoided brokered and large deposits believing that they
were unstable and thus not desirable. This has proven to be a good strategy as
the local deposit base is considered very stable and small increases in rates
above the competition have resulted in deposit gains in past years.

Certificates of deposit over $100,000 totaled $12,574,718 at December 31,
2000. The maturity distribution of these certificates is as follows:

Less than 3 months $ 1,363,845
3 to 12 months 6,406,932
1 year to 5 years 4,803,941

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Total stockholders' equity increased $1,911,834 or 7.56% in 2000. Earnings
retained from operations were the primary source of the increase. As of December
31, 2000, the book value per share was $11.18 compared to $10.30 as of December
31, 1999. Dividends are paid to the stockholders on a quarterly basis in uniform
amounts unless unexpected fluctuations in net income indicate a change to this
policy is needed.

Banking regulators have established a uniform system to address the adequacy
of capital for financial institutions. The rules require minimum capital levels
based on risk adjusted assets. Simply stated, the riskier an entity's
investment, the more capital it is required to maintain. The Bank, as well as
the holding company, is required to maintain these minimum capital levels. The
two types of capital guidelines are Tier I capital (referred to as core capital)
and Tier II capital (referred to as supplementary capital). At December 31,
2000, the Company had Tier I capital of 18.20% of risk weighted assets and
combined Tier I and II capital of 18.95% of risk weighted assets. Regulatory
minimums at this date were 4% and 8%, respectively. The Bank has maintained
capital levels far above the minimum requirements throughout the year. In the
unlikely event that such capital levels are not met, regulatory agencies are
empowered to require the Company to raise additional capital and/or reallocate
present capital.

In addition, the regulatory agencies have issued guidelines requiring the
maintenance of a capital leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is computed by
dividing Tier I capital by actual total assets. The regulators have established
a minimum of 3% for this ratio, but can increase the minimum requirement based
upon an institution's overall financial condition. At December 31, 2000, the
Company reported a leverage ratio of 13.02%. The Bank's leverage ratio was also
above the minimum.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

The information concerning short-term borrowings is shown in Note 9 to the
financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY

Liquidity as of December 31, 2000 remains adequate. The Bank historically
has had a stable core deposit base and, therefore, does not have to rely on
volatile funding sources. Because of the stable core deposit base, changes in
interest rates should not have a significant effect on liquidity. During 2000,
the Bank used maturing investments, deposit growth and an increase in short-term
debt to meet its liquidity needs. The Bank's membership in the Federal Home Loan
Bank System also provides liquidity as the Bank borrows money that is repaid
over a ten year period and uses the money to make fixed rate loans. The matching
of the long-term receivables and liabilities helps the Bank reduce its
sensitivity to interest rate changes. The Company reviews its interest rate gap
periodically and makes adjustments as needed.

There are no off-balance-sheet items that will impair future liquidity.

Table IV (page 20) contains an analysis, which shows the repricing
opportunities of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as of December
31, 2000.

At December 31, 2000, the Company had a cumulative Gap Rate Sensitivity
Ratio of (19.24)% for the one-year repricing period. This generally indicates
that earnings would improve in a declining interest rate environment as
liabilities reprice more quickly than assets. Conversely, earnings would
probably decrease in periods during which interest rates are increasing.
Management constantly monitors the Company's interest rate risk and has decided
that the current position is an acceptable risk for a well-capitalized community
bank operating in a rural environment.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Stockholders and Board of Directors
F & M Bank Corp.
Timberville, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of F & M Bank Corp.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, comprehensive net income
and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31,
2000. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of F & M Bank Corp. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period
ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

F & M BANK CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

F & M Bank Corp. ("Company"), through its subsidiary Farmers &
Merchants Bank ("Bank"), operates under a charter issued by the
Commonwealth of Virginia and provides commercial banking services. As
a state chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the
Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve
Bank. The Bank provides services to customers located mainly in
Rockingham County, Virginia, and the adjacent counties of Page,
Shenandoah and Augusta. Services are provided at five branch offices.
In addition, the Company offers insurance and financial services
through its subsidiaries, TEB Life Insurance, Inc. and Farmers &
Merchants Financial Services, Inc.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its
subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles and
to accepted practice within the banking industry.

The following is a summary of the more significant policies:

(d) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank, the TEB Life Insurance Company and
Farmers & Merchants Financial Services, Inc. Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

(d) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in
those statements; actual results could differ significantly from
those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly
susceptible to significant changes is the determination of the
allowance for loan losses, which is sensitive to changes in local
and national economic conditions.

(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits at
other financial institutions whose initial maturity is ninety days
or less.

(d) Investment Securities

Management reviews the securities portfolio and classifies all
securities as either held to maturity or available for sale at the
date of acquisition. Securities that the Company has both the
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity (at time of
purchase) are classified as held to maturity securities. All other
securities are classified as available for sale. Securities held to
maturity are carried at historical cost and adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, using the
effective interest method. Securities available for sale are
carried at fair value with any valuation adjustments reported, net
of deferred taxes, as a part of other accumulated comprehensive
income. Also included in securities available for sale are
marketable equity securities.

Interest, amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on
securities are reported as interest income using the effective
interest method. Gains (losses) realized on sales and calls of
securities are determined on the specific identification method.


28

F & M BANK CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

(e)Accounting for Historic Rehabilitation and Low Income Housing
Partnerships

The Company periodically invests in low income housing partnerships
whose primary benefit is the distribution of federal tax credits to
partners. The Company recognizes these benefits and the cost of the
investments over the life of the partnership (usually 15 years). In
addition, state and federal historic rehabilitation credits are
generated from a recent investment in a partnership organized for
this purpose. Amortization of this investment is based on the
amount or benefits received in the current year to total estimated
benefits over the life of the project. All benefits have been shown
as investment income since income tax benefits are the only
anticipated benefits of ownership.

(f)Loans

Loans are carried on the balance sheet net of any unearned interest
and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income on loans is
determined using the effective interest method on the daily amount
of principal outstanding except where serious doubt exists as to
collectibility of the loan, in which case the accrual of income is
discontinued.

(g)Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is based upon management's knowledge
and review of the loan portfolio. Estimation of an adequate
allowance for loan losses involves the exercise of judgement, the
use of assumptions with respect to present economic conditions and
knowledge of the environment in which the Bank operates. Among the
factors considered in determining the level of the allowance are
the changes in composition of the loan portfolio, the amount of
delinquent and nonaccrual loans, past loan loss experience and the
value of collateral securing the loans.

(h)Bank Premises and Equipment

Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is charged to income over the estimated
useful lives of the assets on a combination of the straight-line
and accelerated methods. The ranges of the useful lives of the
premises and equipment are as follows:

Buildings and Improvements 10 - 40 years
Furniture and Fixtures 5 - 20 years

Maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements are charged to
operations as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are
reflected in other income or expense.

(i)Pension Plans

Substantially all employees are covered by a pension plan. The net
periodic pension expense includes a service cost component,
reflecting the actual return on plan assets, and the effect of
deferring and amortizing certain actuarial gains and losses and the
unrecognized net transition asset.


29

F & M BANK CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

(j)Income Taxes

Amounts provided for income tax expense are based on income
reported for financial statement purposes rather than amounts
currently payable under income tax laws. Deferred taxes, which
arise principally from temporary differences between the period in
which certain income and expenses are recognized for financial
accounting purposes and the period in which they affect taxable
income, are included in the amounts provided for income taxes.

(k)Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. Prior period per share amounts have been
restated to reflect the 1998 stock split.

(l)Comprehensive Income

The Corporation adopted SFAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,
as of January 1, 1998. Accounting principles generally require that
recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net
income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as
unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are
reported as a separate component of the equity section of the
balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of
comprehensive income. The adoption of SFAS 130 had no effect on the
Corporation's net income or shareholders' equity.

The components of other comprehensive income and related tax
effects are as follows:

NOTE 3 CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS:

The Bank is required to maintain average reserve balances based on a
percentage of deposits. The average balance of cash, which the Federal
Reserve Bank requires to be on reserve, was $764,000 and $736,000 for
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

NOTE 10 LONG-TERM DEBT:

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) were
$1,000,000 in 2000 and zero in 1999. The interest rates on the notes
payable are fixed at the time of the advance and range from 5.05% to
5.96%; the weighted average interest rate is 5.50% at December 31,
2000. During 1998, the Company paid $392,729 in prepayment penalties
to refinance portions of this debt. These penalties were expensed in
1998 when paid. The long-term debt is secured by qualifying mortgage
loans owned by the Company.

Repayments of long-term debt are due either quarterly or semi-annually
and interest is due monthly. Interest expense of $936,822, $1,095,059,
and $1,529,009 was incurred on these debts in 2000, 1999, and 1998,

NOTE 12 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:

The Bank participates in the Virginia Bankers' Association Master
Defined Benefit Pension Plan and Trust. Substantially all bank
employees are covered by the plan. Benefits are based upon the
participant's length of service and annual earnings with vesting of
benefits after five years of service. Plan assets consist primarily of
investments in stocks and bonds. Pension expense totaled $165,509,
$153,667, and $96,868 for 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

F & M BANK CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 12 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED):

The Company has established an employee stock ownership plan which
provides stock ownership to substantially all employees of the Bank.
The Plan provides total vesting upon the attainment of five years of
service. Contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of the
Board of Directors and are allocated based on the compensation of each
employee relative to total compensation paid by the Bank. All shares
issued and held by the Plan are considered outstanding in the
computation of earnings per share. Dividends on Company stock are
allocated and paid to participants at least annually. Shares of
Company stock, when distributed, have restrictions on transferability.
The Company contributed $159,000 in 2000, $160,000 in 1999, $150,000
in 1998 to the Plan and charged this expense to operations.

NOTE 13 CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT:

The Company had cash deposits in other commercial banks totaling
$2,580,337 and $2,157,260 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The Company grants commercial, residential real estate and consumer
loans to customers located primarily in the northwestern portion of
the state of Virginia. Although the Company has a diversified loan
portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor
their contracts is dependent upon the agribusiness economic sector,
specifically the poultry industry. Collateral required by the Company
is determined on an individual basis depending on the purpose of the
loan and the financial condition of the borrower. Approximately 70% of
the loan portfolio is secured by real estate.

NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS:

The Company makes commitments to extend credit in the normal course of
business and issues standby letters of credit to meet the financing
needs of its customers. The amount of the commitments represents the
Company's exposure to credit loss that is not included in the balance
sheet. As of the balance sheet dates, the Company had the following
commitments outstanding:

2000 1999

Commitments to loan money $ 23,266,949 $ 25,295,880
Standby letters of credit 596,922 1,189,951

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to
lend money and issue standby letters of credit as it does for the
loans reflected in the balance sheet.


38

F & M BANK CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED):

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of
the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness
on a case-by-case basis. Collateral required, if any, upon extension
of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower.
Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory,
property, plant and equipment.

NOTE 15 TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES:

During the year, officers and directors (and companies controlled by
them) were customers of and had transactions with the Company in the
normal course of business. These transactions were made on
substantially the same terms as those prevailing for other customers
and did not involve any abnormal risk.

Loan transactions with related parties are shown in the following
schedule:

2000 1999

Total loans, beginning of year $1,345,420 $ 1,133,362
Change in directorship 131,279

NOTE 16 DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS ON SUBSIDIARY BANK:

The principal source of funds of F & M Bank Corp. is dividends paid by
the Farmers and Merchants Bank. The Federal Reserve Act restricts the
amount of dividends the Bank may pay. Approval by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System is required if the dividends
declared by a state member bank, in any year, exceed the sum of (1)
net income of the current year and (2) income net of dividends for the
preceding two years. As of January 1, 2001, approximately $2,118,000
was available for dividend distribution without permission of the
Board of Governors. Dividends paid by the Bank to the Company totaled
$1,345,000 in 2000, $1,419,000 in 1999 and $1,550,000 in 1998.

NOTE 17 DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107)
"Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Statements" defines the
fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which a
financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation sale. As
the majority of the Bank's financial instruments lack an available
trading market, significant estimates, assumptions and present value
calculations are required to determine estimated fair value.

Estimated fair value and the carrying value of financial instruments
at December 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows (in thousands):

2000 1999

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, other investments,
deposits with no stated maturities, short-term borrowings, and accrued
interest approximate fair value. The fair value of securities was
calculated using the most recent transaction price or a pricing model,
which takes into consideration maturity, yields and quality. The
remaining financial instruments were valued based on the present value
of estimated future cash flows, discounted at various rates in effect
for similar instruments during the month of December 2000.

NOTE 18 REGULATORY MATTERS:

The Company and its subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory
capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on
the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Company's assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The Company's capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,
risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation, to ensure capital
adequacy, require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios.
These ratios are defined in the regulations and the amounts are set
forth in the table below. Management believes, as of December 31,
2000, that the Company and its subsidiary bank meet all capital
adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of the most recent notification from the Bureau of Financial
Institutions, the subsidiary bank was categorized as well capitalized
under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
categorized as well capitalized, the Company must maintain minimum
total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the institution's
category.

The Company's actual capital ratios are presented in the following
table:

Actual Regulatory Requirements
December 31, Adequately Well
2000 1999 Capitalized Capitalized

Total risk-based ratio 18.95% 18.44% 8.00% 10.00%

NOTE 19 ACQUISITION OF BRANCHES:

During the third quarter of 2000, F&M Bank Corp. entered into an
agreement to purchase the First Union National Bank branches located
in Edinburg and Woodstock, Virginia. The agreement has been approved

directors, executive officers and any persons who own more than 10% of the
common stock of the Company to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
reports of ownership and changes in ownership of common stock. Officers and
directors are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of
all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such
reports furnished to the Company or written representation that no other reports
were required, the Company believes that, during 1999, all filing requirements
applicable to its officers and directors were complied with.
