I have reviewed
this annual report on Form 10-K of F & M Bank

2.
Based on my

The
registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible
for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the

(a)
designed such
disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure

including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by
others within those entities, particularly during the period in
which this report is being prepared;
(b)
designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under
our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles;
(c)
evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure
controls and procedures and presented in this report our
conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and

the filing date of this quarterly report (the “Evaluation
Date”); and
(d)
disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s
internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the

report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over
financial reporting; and

The
registrant’s other certifying officers and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the
audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or
persons performing the equivalent function):
(a)
all significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to
record, process, summarize and report financial information;
and
(b)
any fraud, whether
or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in the registrant’s internal controls
over financial reporting.
