FMS FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 (UNAUDITED).

1-GENERAL
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements of FMS Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") contain all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair
presentation of its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and
changes in stockholders' equity for the periods and dates indicated. The results
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The 2003 comparative Statement of
Financial Condition was derived from the audited financial statements. The
consolidated financial statements include the Corporation's principle
subsidiary, Farmers & Mechanics Bank (the "Bank").

2-LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-Term Debt at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 consisted of $25.8
million of FMS Statutory Trust 1 debentures. The interest rate resets every
three months to LIBOR plus 360 basis points and will not exceed 11.00% through
March 2007. As of March 31, 2004 and 2003 the interest rate was 4.71% and 4.89%,
respectively. The proceeds were used for the paydown in August 2002 of the $10.0
million subordinated debentures, expansion of the Bank's operations and general
corporate purposes.

3-REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Bank is considered "well capitalized" by OTS regulations at March 31, 2004.
The Bank's regulatory tangible and tier 1 (core) capital ratios are $75.6
million or 6.08% of total bank assets and $79.7 million or 16.37% for risk-based
capital. FMS's consolidated capital ratio at March 31, 2004 totaled 5.20%.

4-STOCK OPTIONS
The Corporation maintains an incentive stock option plan. As permitted by SFAS
No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure" the
Corporation will continue to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for
stock options. No options have been granted during the three months ended March
31, 2004 and 2003.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004. The following
discussion and analysis should be read with our financial statements and related
notes included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q. 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. The discussion and analysis in this report may
contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21A of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

These forward-looking statements involve risk 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 cautionary statements made
in this report should be read as applying to all related forward-looking
statements wherever they appear in this report. 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. Such risks and uncertainities could cause actual
results to differ materially from any future performance suggested in this
report. The Corporation cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is
not exclusive. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to release publicly the
results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events
or circumstances arising after the date of this report. This caution is made
under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995.

$402.6 million at December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily the result of
$28.0 million of loans originated, partially offset by approximately $25.1
million of principal collected on loans during the three months ended March 31,
2004. The following table shows loans receivable by major categories at the

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
The earnings of the Corporation 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 including non-interest checking accounts,
long-term debts 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 non-interest income, such as gains (losses) on the sale of loans and
investments, provision for loan losses and real estate owned, service charges
and other fees, and operating expenses, such as: salaries, employee benefits,
deposit insurance premiums, depreciation, occupancy and equipment expense and
purchased services expense.

The Corporation recorded net income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 of
$2.1 million, or $.32 diluted earnings per share as compared to $1.8 million, or
$.28 diluted earnings per share for the comparable period in 2003.

Interest Rate Spread

The Bank's interest income is affected by the difference or "interest rate
spread" between yields received 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 average yields and rates are derived by
dividing income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets or
interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Corporation's
average balance sheet and reflects the average yield on assets and average rates
paid on liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and rates are derived
by dividing income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets
or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented:

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
rate, (ii) changes in volume 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). A higher level of non-performing loans affects the
changes in both volume and rate.

Net Interest Income - for the three months ended March 31, 2004 totaled $9.2
million. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased
$1.0 million compared to the same period in 2003 due primarily to an increase in
interest income on investment securities of $1.0 million coupled with decreases
in interest expense on all deposit products of $821 thousand and long term debt
of $28 thousand, partially offset by decreases in interest income on
mortgage-backed securities of $595 thousand and interest income on loans of $174
thousand.

Interest income on investment securities increased $1.0 million to $3.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $2.5 million for the same period

$318.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $227.1 million for
the same period in 2003, which resulted in a volume increase in interest income
of $1.0 million. The increase in the average volume during this period is due to
purchases of $411.4 million, partially offset by investment calls and maturities
of $104.8 million and principal paydowns of $222.5 million since March 31, 2003.
The average yield of the investment portfolio increased 2 basis points to 4.45%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 4.43% for the same period in 2003,
which resulted in an interest income increase of $19 thousand due to rate
changes.

the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $1.6 million for the same period in
2003. The average rate on time deposits decreased 92 basis points to 1.89% for
the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 2.81% for the same period in 2003, which

of time deposits increased $929 thousand to $222.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 from $222.0 million for the same period in 2003, which
resulted in a volume increase in interest expense of $7 thousand.

Interest expense on checking deposits decreased $26 thousand to $256 thousand
for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $282 thousand for the same period
in 2003. The average rate on checking deposits decreased 9 basis points to 0.30%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 0.39% for the same period in 2003,
which resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $79 thousand. The average
balance of checking deposits increased $54 million to $342.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 from $288.7 million for the same period in
2003, which resulted in a volume increase in interest expense of $53 thousand.

for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $419 thousand for the same period
in 2003. The average rate on savings deposits decreased 45 basis points to 0.55%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 1.00% for the same period in 2003,
which resulted in a rate decrease in interest expense of $214 thousand. The
average balance of savings deposits increased $21.9 million to $189.0 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from $167.2 million for the same period in
2003, which resulted in an increase in interest expense of $55 thousand.

Interest expense on money market deposits decreased $130 thousand to $213
thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $343 thousand for the
same period in 2003. The average rate on money market deposits decreased 44
basis points to 0.65% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 1.09% for the

thousand. The average balance of money market deposits increased $4.9 million to
$131.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $126.2 million for
the same period in 2003, which resulted in a volume increase in interest expense
of $13 thousand.

Interest expense on long term debt decreased $28 thousand to $304 thousand for
the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $332 thousand for the same period in
2003. The average rate decreased 43 basis points to 4.72% for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 from 5.15% for the same period in 2003, which lowered

13




Interest income on mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") decreased by $595 thousand
to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $4.5 million for
the same period in 2003. The average balance of MBS's decreased $30.8 million to
$361.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $391.8 million for
the same period in 2003, which resulted in an interest income volume decrease of
$356 thosand. The decrease in the average balance during this period was due to
principal paydowns of $175.7 million, partially offset by purchases of MBS's of
$132.0 million from the first quarter of 2003. The average yield of the MBS
portfolio decreased 26 basis points to 4.37% for the quarter ended March 31,
2004 from 4.63% for the same period in 2003, which resulted in an interest
income decrease of $239 thousand due to changes in rates.

Interest income on loans decreased $174 thousand to $6.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 from $6.2 million for the same period in 2003. The
average rate on loans decreased 70 basis points to 5.92% for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 from 6.62% for the same period in 2003, which resulted in a
decrease in interest income of $720 thousand due to rate changes. The average
balance of the loan portfolio increased $33.0 million to $409.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 from $376.0 million for the same period in
2003, which resulted in a volume increase in interest income of $546 thousand.
The increase in the average balance is principally due to loan originations of
$171.0 million since the first quarter of 2003, partially offset by principal
collected on loans of $139.3 million during this period.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $13 thousand to $2.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 from $2.3 million for the same period in 2003.
The average rate paid on borrowings increased 3 basis points to 4.00% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 3.97% for the same period in 2003, which
resulted in an increase in interest expense of $20 thousand due to rate changes.
The average balance of borrowings decreased $678 thousand to $235.5 million at
March 31, 2004 from $236.2 million for the same period in 2003, which resulted
in a volume decrease in interest expense of $7 thousand.

Critical Accounting Estimate-Provision for Loan Losses - A critical accounting
estimate is the provision for loan losses. The provision increased $15 thousand
to $75 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $60 thousand for
the same period in 2003. At March 31, 2004 the allowance for loan losses
amounted to $4.5 million compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2003. The
determination of the allowance level for loan losses is based on management's
analysis of the risk characteristics of various types of loans, levels of
classified loans, previous loan loss experience, the estimated fair market value
of the underlying collateral and current economic conditions. Additionally, the
mix within the Bank's portfolio continues to change as the Bank offers a wider
variety of products. Within the loan portfolio, a change is also occurring as a
shift is made from lower yielding loans (i.e., one-to-four family loans) to
higher yielding loans (i.e., commercial real estate mortgages, commercial
construction, consumer and commercial business loans). These types of loans
contain a higher degree of risk. The Bank will continue to monitor its allowance
for loan losses and make future adjustments to the allowance through the
provision for loan losses as changing conditions dictate. Although the Bank
maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level that it considers to be
adequate to provide for the inherent risk of loss in its loan portfolio, there
can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that
additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods due
to the higher degree of credit risk which might result from the change in the
mix of the loan portfolio or changes in economic conditions. 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.

14



Other Income - for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 was $1.4 million
compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2003. The decrease from 2003 is
due to the $601 thousand gain on sale of real estate held for development sold
in January 2003, partially offset by a $100 thousand gain on the sale of
investment securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

Operating Expenses - for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 totaled
$7.0 million compared to $6.6 million for the same period in 2003. The increase
in operating expenses was due to an increase in salaries and benefits, occupancy
and equipment and amortization of core deposit intangible.

Salaries and Employee Benefits - for the three month period ended March 31, 2004
were $4.1 million compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2003. The
increase was primarily due to annual compensation increases and additional staff
in one new branch opened since the first quarter of 2003. Average full time
equivalent employees at March 31, 2004 were 512 as compared to 503 at March 31,
2003.

Occupancy and Equipment- for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 were
$1.4 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2003. This increase
is due to additional depreciation and occupancy expense on the new branch office
opened since the first quarter of 2003.

Amortization of core deposit intangible - for the three month period ended March
31, 2004 totaled $179 thousand. The increase is due to the five year write-off
of the premiums paid to acquire two existing bank branches in Florence and
Tabernacle, NJ in 2003.
