NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES:
The consolidated financial statements conform to generally
accepted accounting principles and to general industry practices. In
the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30,
2002, and the results of operations for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. The notes included herein
should be read in conjunction with the notes to financial statements
included in the 2001 annual report to stockholders of the F&M Bank
Corp.
Critical Accounting Policy
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may
be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two
basic principles of accounting: (i) SFAS 5, Accounting for
Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are
probable of occurring and estimatable and (ii) SFAS 114, Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses
be accrued based on the differences between the value of
collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are
observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. See
Management's Discussion and Analysis for a more complete
description of the allowance for loan losses.

F & M BANK CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 5 GOODWILL AND CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLE
During the first quarter of 2002, the Company completed an assessment required
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement 141 "Business
Combinations" and Statement 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." As a
result of this review management determined that a portion of its acquisition
costs related to the two Shenandoah County branches should be considered
goodwill. The remaining portion of these acquisition costs has been identified
as a core deposit intangible (CDI).
Under the new accounting standards, goodwill will be tested periodically for
impairment, but will not be subject to amortization. As of September 30, 2002,
there is no impairment to goodwill. The CDI will continue to be amortized using
the straight-line method.
NOTE 6 BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE (BOLI)
The Company's subsidiary bank has obtained single-premium whole-life
insurance policies on several of its senior executives. The Bank is both owner
and beneficiary of the policies. Under regulatory guidelines there are four
primary purposes for which a Bank may purchase life insurance: (i) key-person
insurance, (ii) insurance on borrowers, (iii) insurance purchased in connection
with employee compensation and benefit plans, and (iv) insurance taken as
security for loans.
The Bank currently offers a variety of benefit plans to all full time employees.
While the costs of these plans are generally tax deductible to the Bank, the
cost has been escalating greatly in recent years. In order to attract and retain
good employees, the Bank has determined that the benefits offered are necessary.
To help offset the growth in these costs, the Bank decided to enter into the
BOLI contracts. Dividends received on these policies are tax-deferred and the
death benefits under the policies are tax exempt. Rates of return on a
tax-equivalent basis are very favorable when compared to other long-term assets
which the Bank could obtain.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
F & M Bank Corp. (Company) is a one-bank holding company organized under
Virginia law which provides financial services through its wholly-owned
subsidiaries Farmers & Merchants Bank (Bank) and TEB Life Insurance Company
(TEB). Farmers & Merchants Financial Services (FMFS) is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Bank.
The Bank is a full service commercial bank offering a wide range of banking
and financial services through its seven branch offices. TEB reinsures
credit life and accident and health insurance sold by the Bank in connection
with its lending activities. FMFS provides title insurance, brokerage services
and property/casualty insurance to customers of the Bank.
The Company's primary trade area services customers in Rockingham County,
Shenandoah County, the southern part of Page County and the northern part of
Augusta County.
Management's discussion and analysis is presented to assist the reader in
understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company. The analysis focuses on the consolidated financial
statements, footnotes, and other financial data presented. The discussion
highlights material changes from prior reporting periods and any identifiable
trends which may affect the Company. Amounts have been rounded for presentation
purposes.
Results of Operations
Year to Date
Net income year to date increased $150,000, primarily due to a 31 basis
point increase in the net interest margin. Yields on earning assets have
declined 80 basis points compared to 2001 while rates paid on interest bearing
liabilities have fallen 129 basis points for the same period. Much of the
decrease in the cost of funds resulted from maturing time deposits which
repriced at much lower rates. Overall the cost of time deposits has decreased
from 5.77% in 2001 to 4.36% in 2002. Rates on long-term debt has fallen as the
Bank has continued to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank at favorable rates
to support its longer term mortgage lending. A schedule of the net interest
margin for 2002 and 2001 can be found in Table I on page 16.
Noninterest income, exclusive of gains on the sale of securities and real
estate, increased $179,000 in 2002. The increase is a result of increases
in customer service charges, other account related fees, insurance
commissions and earnings on bank owned life insurance (BOLI).
Noninterest expense increased $557,000 in 2002. This increase includes a
full nine months of expenses related to the two Shenandoah County offices
acquired in March 2001, compared to seven months of expenses in 2001. The
Company also experienced a forty percent increase in health insurance costs;
higher legal and professional fees related to technology and marketing
consultants, and higher franchise tax and examination expenses resulting
from the growth in the
balance sheet. Noninterest expense as an annualized percentage
of average assets increased
slightly to 2.29% from 2.24% in the prior year. Operating costs continue to
compare very favorably to the peer group, as identified in the Carson Medlin
Company's Southeastern Independent Bank Review (SIBR). Peer group noninterest
expenses average approximately 3.20% of average assets. The Company's operating
costs have always compared favorably to the peer group due to an excellent asset
to employee ratio and below average facilities costs.
11
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Quarter Ending September 30
The Company's net income increased 55% to $1.008 million compared to the
third quarter of 2001. After adjusting to exclude nonrecurring securities gains,
earnings and earnings per share increased 48% to $973,000 and $.40,
respectively. Earnings growth for the quarter was driven by a 49 basis point
expansion in the net interest margin which now stands at 4.07%. Deposit
repricing at significantly lower rates has continued throughout the period,
driving the overall cost of funds down 126 basis points. The margin has also
benefited from the Company's more efficient mix of earning assets. Average loans
have increased $31 million while average balances of lower yielding federal
funds and interest bearing bank deposits have declined $21 million. As a result
of these changes, net interest income for the quarter rose 25%.
Financial Condition
Securities
The Company's securities portfolio serves several purposes. Portions of the
portfolio are held to assist the Company with liquidity, asset liability
management, as security for certain public funds and repurchase agreements and
for long-term growth potential.
The securities portfolio consists of investment securities (commonly
referred to as "securities held to maturity") and securities available for sale.
Securities are classified as investment securities when management has the
intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Investment securities are
carried at amortized cost. Securities available for sale include securities
that may be sold in response to general market fluctuations, liquidity
needs and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are
recorded at market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available for
sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported (net of deferred
income taxes) as a separate component of shareholders' equity. As of
September 30, 2002, the market value of all securities available for sale was
$1,026,000 less than their amortized cost.
The value of the Bank's bond portfolio exceeds carrying cost by $927,000.
This is the result of rapidly declining interest rates causing the market value
of existing higher rate bonds to increase dramatically. The Company's equity
securities portfolio was down by $1,953,000 due in large part to the stock
market volatility and economic uncertainty that has continued following the
September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The Company continues to hold equity
investments in a number of large, regional financial institutions, a diversified
portfolio of REITs and a variety of other predominantly blue-chip securities.
The Company continues to believe that these investments offer adequate current
returns (dividends) and have the potential for future increases in value.
12
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Loan Portfolio
The Company operates in a predominately rural area that benefits from a
variety of businesses including agri-business, manufacturing,
service businesses and several universities/colleges. The Bank is an
active residential mortgage and residential construction lender and generally
makes commercial loans to small and mid size businesses and farms within its
primary service area.
An inherent risk in the lending of money is that the borrower will not be
able to repay the loan under the terms of the original agreement. The allowance
for loan losses (see subsequent section) provides for this risk and is reviewed
periodically for adequacy. The risk associated with real estate and installment
notes to individuals is based upon employment, the local and national economies
and consumer confidence. All of these affect the ability of borrowers to repay
indebtedness. The risk associated with commercial lending is substantially based
on the strength of the local and national economies.
While lending is geographically diversified within the service area, the
Company does have some concentration in agricultural loans (primarily poultry
farming). In addition to direct agricultural loans, a significant percentage of
residential real estate loans and consumer installment loans are made to
borrowers employed in the agricultural sector of the economy. The Company
monitors its past due loans closely and has not experienced higher loan
delinquencies in this sector compared to the overall loan portfolio. The first
nine months of 2002 resulted in a $27,525,000 increase in the loan portfolio.
This increase is indicative of the continued strength of the local economy as
much of the increase has been in residential real estate loans.
Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past
due and restructured loans. Nonaccrual loans are loans on which interest
accruals have been suspended or discontinued permanently. Restructured loans are
loans, which have had the original interest rate or repayment terms changed due
to financial hardship. Nonperforming loans totaled $2,544,000 at September 30,
2002 compared to $1,776,000 December 31, 2001. Approximately 90% of these past
due loans are secured by real estate. The increase in non-performing loans is
almost exclusively single-family residential properties. Although
the potential exists for some loan losses, management believes the bank is
generally well secured and continues to actively work with its customers to
effect payment. As of September 30, 2002, the Company holds two pieces of real
estate which were acquired through foreclosure. Both pieces of property are
under sales contracts, with closing expected during the fourth quarter.
The following is a summary of information pertaining to risk elements
and impaired loans for the periods ended September 30, 2002 and December
31, 2001.

The increase in 90 days past due includes a credit of $521,000 that moved
to this category in 2002. On October 2, 2002, the borrowers paid off the
principal and interest in full.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management evaluates the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis in
light of national and local economic trends, changes in the nature and volume of
the loan portfolio, including past due and criticized loan trends. Specific
factors evaluated include internally generated loan review reports, past due
reports, historical loan loss experience and changes in the financial strength
of individual borrowers that have been included on the Banks watch list or
schedule of classified loans.
In evaluating the portfolio, loans are segregated into loans with
identified potential losses, and pools of loans by type (commercial,
residential, consumer, credit cards). Loans with identified potential losses
include examiner and bank classified loans. Classified relationships in excess
of $100,000 are reviewed individually for impairment under FAS 114. A variety of
factors are taken into account when reviewing these credits; including borrower
cash flow, payment history, fair value of collateral, company management,
industry and economic factors. Loan relationships that are determined to have no
impairment are placed back into the appropriate loan pool and reviewed under FAS
5.
13
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Loan pools are further segmented into watch list, past due over 90 days and
all other. Watch list loans include loans that are 60 days past due, and may
include restructured loans, borrowers that are highly leveraged, loans that have
been upgraded from classified or loans that contain policy exceptions (term,
collateral coverage, etc.). Loss estimates on these loans reflect the increased
risk associated with these assets due to any of the above factors. The past due
pools contain loans that are currently 90 days or more past due. Loss rates
assigned reflect the fact that these loans bear a significant risk of
charge-off. Loss rates vary by loan type to reflect the likelihood that
collateral values will offset a portion of the anticipated losses.
The remainder of the portfolio falls into pools by type of homogenous loans
that do not exhibit any of the above described weaknesses. Loss rates are
assigned based on historical loss rates over the prior 5 years. A multiplier has
been applied to these loss rates to reflect the time for loans to season within
the portfolio and the inherent imprecision of these estimates.
All potential losses are evaluated within a range of low to high.
An unallocated reserve has been established
to reflect other unidentified losses within the portfolio. It helps to
offset the increased risk of loss associated with fluctuations in past due
trends, changes in the local and national economies, and other unusual events
(ie. Avain flu). The Board then approves the loan loss provision for the
following quarter based on this evaluation and an effort is made to keep the
actual allowance at or above the midpoint of the range established by the
evaluation process.
The allowance for loan losses of $1,451,000 at September 30, 2002 is equal
to .71% of total loans. This compares to an allowance of $1,288,000 (.73%) at
December 31, 2001. Although management has increased its monthly funding of the
reserve to $35,000, due to the rapid growth in the portfolio and because of the
weakening of the local and national economies, the overall level of the
allowance is well below the peer group average of 1.32%. 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
nine years of average loan losses. Based on historical losses, delinquency
rates, collateral values of delinquent loans and a thorough review of the loan
portfolio, management is of the opinion that the allowance for loan losses
fairly states the estimated losses in the current portfolio.
Loan losses, net of recoveries, total $118,000 through first three quarters
of 2002. This is equivalent to an annualized loss rate of .08%. In recent years
the company has had an average loss rate of .07% which is approximately
one-third the loss rate of its peer group.
Deposits and Other Borrowings
The Company's main source of funding is comprised of deposits received from
individuals, governmental entities and businesses located within the Company's
service area. Deposit accounts include demand deposits, savings, money market
and certificates of deposit. Total deposits have increased $8,018,000 since
December 31, 2001. This growth has been experienced in spite of rapidly falling
rates and appears to be a result of economic uncertainty and stock market
volatility.
The Company offers repurchase agreements (a/k/a "repos") to customers
desiring such investments. Repos are designed for companies desiring a higher
rate of return than traditional deposit accounts and who will accept the risk of
not being covered by FDIC insurance. As of September 30, 2002, balances in repo
accounts totaled $7,068,000 and are included as short-term debt on the balance
sheet.
14
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) continue to be
an important mechanism in funding real estate loans. The Company's subsidiary
bank borrows funds on a fixed rate basis. These borrowings are used to fund
longer term fixed rate mortgage loans. This program allows the Bank to match the
maturity of its fixed rate real estate portfolio with the maturity of its debt
and reduce its exposure to interest rate changes. The Bank borrowed an
additional $15 million in 2002 at an average rate of 4.54% and an average
repayment period of seven years. Scheduled repayments of this debt totaled
$1,682,000 through September 30, 2002.
As part of the approval process for the acquisition of new branches, the
Company was required to contribute $6 million into the Bank as additional equity
capital. The Company funded this contribution in part by borrowing $4 million
from SunTrust Bank. The loan is amortized over a three year period with
quarterly payments of $333,333, plus interest. The loan is
collateralized by marketable securities and carries an interest rate of LIBOR +
1.10%. In September 2001, the Company entered into a rate swap agreement with
SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, which fixed the rate at 4.60% for the remaining term
of the obligation. In September 2002, the Company borrowed an additional $3
million from SunTrust Bank. This loan carries an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.10%
and is variable. Payments of interest only will be due quarterly for seven
calendar quarters, followed by payments of $230,769 plus interest for a period
of thirteen quarters. Proceeds of this loan were used to provide an additional
capital contribution to the Bank and to pay off an intercompany loan.
Capital
The Company seeks to maintain a strong capital base to expand
facilities, promote public confidence, support current operations and grow at a
manageable level. As of September 30, 2002, the Company's total risk based
capital and total capital to total assets ratios were 14.36% and 9.92%,
respectively. Both ratios are in excess of regulatory minimums and exceed the
ratios of the Company's peers. Earnings have been satisfactory to allow an
increase in the third quarter dividend in 2002 of 6.25%.
Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial
obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the
acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets
include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, 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 sufficient to satisfy its
depositors' requirements and meet its customers' credit needs.
Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include, but are
not limited to, loan repayments, the ability to obtain deposits through the
adjustment of interest rates and the purchasing of federal funds. To further
meet its liquidity needs, the Company also 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. In the past, growth in deposits and proceeds from the
maturity of investment securities have been sufficient to fund most of the
increase in loans.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity,
management must also control the degree of interest rate risk assumed on the
balance sheet. Managing this risk involves regular monitoring of interest
sensitive assets relative to interest sensitive liabilities over specific time
intervals. The Company monitors its interest rate sensitivity
periodically and makes adjustments as needed. There are no off balance sheet
items that will impair future liquidity.
A summary of asset and liability repricing opportunities is shown in Table
II.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Stock Repurchase
On April 20, 2000, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had
authorized the repurchase of up to 50,000 shares of the Company's outstanding
common stock. Management has been authorized to repurchase shares from time to
time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions when market
conditions warrant. The repurchased shares are held as unissued stock and are
available for general corporate purposes. Through the end of the third quarter
of 2002, a total of 41,284 shares have been repurchased. Of this amount 14,885
shares have been repurchased in 2002.
Effect of Newly Issued Accounting Standards
The Company does not believe that any newly issued but as yet unapplied
accounting standards will have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or operations.
Existence of Securities and Exchange Commission Web Site
The Securities and Exchange Commission maintains a Web site that contains
reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, issuers
such as F & M Bank Corp. that file periodic reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") are now required to include in those reports
certain information concerning the issuer's controls and procedures for
complying with the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws. Under
rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission effective August 29,
2002, these disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by an issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Act, is
communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive
officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
We have established our disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
material information related to F & M Bank Corp. is made known to our principal
executive officers and principal finance officer on a regular basis, in
particular during the periods in which our quarterly and annual reports are
being prepared. These disclosure controls and procedures consist principally of
communications between and among the President and the Chief Financial
Officer, and the
other executive officers of F & M Bank Corp. and its subsidiaries to identify
any new transactions, events, trends, contingencies or other matters that may be
material to the Company's operations. As required, we will evaluate the
effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures on a quarterly
basis, and most recently did so as of November 8, 2002, a date
within 90 days prior to the filing of this
quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, the management of F & M Bank Corp.
including the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that such disclosure controls
and procedures were operating effectively as designed as of the date of such
evaluation.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the period reported upon, there were no significant changes in the
internal controls of F & M Bank Corp. pertaining to its financial reporting and
control of its assets or in other factors that could significantly affect these
controls.
