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 accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions for Form 10Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X; accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes 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 three months ended March 31, 2002
are not necessarily indicative of the results that are
expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
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 three months ended March 31, 2002 comes
primarily from net income from operations of $1.9 million.
This compares with net income of $1.9 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 reduced by 3.3 million.
This was primarily due to the payoff of several
participation loans with another institution, and also the
refinancing of variable rate mortgages that were on the
banks books into fixed rate loans that were sold on the
secondary market. This also added substantially to the
banks liquidity position as is reflected by the amount of
federal funds sold. Loan loss reserve was reduced during
the quarter due to a large commercial charge off. The level
of the reserve is still considered to be adequate to cover
any additional loan losses.

The following is a summary of five capital ratios as they
are calculated from the March 31, 2002 financial
statements. As of March 31, 2002 the most recent
notification from FDIC indicate the Bank was categorized as
well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action. To remain categorized as well
capitalized, the Bank will have to maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios
as disclosed in the table below. There are no conditions or
events since the most recent notification that management
believes have changed the Bank's prompt corrective action
category.

Primary Ratio 11.33%
Total Capital Ratio 13.82%
Risk Based Capital Tier 1 15.65%
Risk Based Capital Tier 2 20.66%
Stockholders' Equity/Total Assets 10.56%

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 purposes other than trading such as loans,
available for sales 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.
