Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted

required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that are expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. For

and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. was incorporated on February 25,
1985, under the laws of the State of Ohio. Farmers & Merchants
Bancorp, Inc., and its subsidiaries The Farmers & Merchants State
Bank and Farmers & Merchants Life Insurance Company are engaged in
commercial banking and life and disability insurance, respectively.
The executive offices of Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. are
located at 307-11 North Defiance Street, Archbold, Ohio 43502.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity for the six months ended June 30, 2002 comes primarily from
net income from operations of $3.5 million. This compares with net
income of $4.1 million for the same period in 2001. In addition,
funds were purchased from correspondents, and the Federal Home Loan
Bank when needed.



During the year loan balances were increased by 8.9 million. These
increases have occurred due to normal lending operations and the
conscious decision to retain a certain number of fixed rate mortgages
on the Bank's books to help bolster the net interest margin, without
substantially affecting the Bank's interest rate risk. Deposits have
maintained a steady growth to offset these loans and maintain a good
liquidity position.


The following is a summary of five capital ratios as they are
calculated from the June 30, 2002 financial statements:




Primary Ratio 11.52%
Total Capital Ratio 13.91%
Risk Based Capital Tier 1 15.85%
Risk Based Capital Tier 2 20.73%
Stockholders' Equity/Total Assets 10.73%



MARKET RISK

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in
interest rates and equity prices. The primary market risk to which
the Company is subject is interest rate risk. The majority of the
Company's interest rate risk arises, from the instruments, positions
and transactions entered into for the purposes other than trading
such as loans, available for sale securities, interest bearing
deposits, short term borrowings and long term borrowings. Interest
rate risk occurs when interest bearing assets and liabilities reprice
at different times as market interest rates change. For example, if
fixed rate assets are funded with variable rate debt, the spread
between asset and liability rates will decline or turn negative if
rates increase.

Interest rate risk is managed within an overall asset/liability
framework for the Company. The principal objectives of
asset/liability management are to manage sensitivity of net interest
spreads and net income to potential changes in interest rates.
Funding positions are kept within predetermined limits designed to
ensure that risk-taking is not excessive and that liquidity is
properly managed. The Company employs a sensitivity analysis in the
form of a net interest income to help in the analysis.
