7 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, 1997 comes primarily from net income from operations of $1.7 million and from a $5.1 million increase in deposits. This increase in deposits represents a 1% increase from the December 31, 1996 deposits of $438 million. A concerted marketing effort has been implemented to attract more core deposits to help in maintaining an acceptable net interest margin. The principal uses of these funds were for the retirement of short-term debt and the funding of additional loans in the community. During the first three months of 1997, the loan portfolio increased by $5 million representing a one percent increase over December 31, 1996 levels. During the first quarter of 1997 pursuant to regulatory mandates, commercial paper has been reclassified from the loan portfolio to the investment portfolio. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, this reclassification was deemed retroactive to December 31, 1996. The rate of increase on capital expenditures has slowed with the completion of the renovation of the main office and the implementation of the new proof system. Spending in this area will increase in the next few months due to the major renovation of one of the branch offices. The following is a list of five capital ratios as they are calculated from the March 31, 1997 financial statements: Primary Ratio 9.81% Total Capital Ratio 11.54% Risk Based Capital Tier 1 12.73% Risk Based Capital Tier 2 16.87% Stockholders' Equity/Total Assets 8.81% 5
