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 nine months ended March 31, 1999 comes primarily from net income from operations of $1.5 million. This compares with net income of $2.1 million for the same period in 1998. In addition the excess in Federal Funds sold was used to help fund the additional loan growth.

Loans as of March 31, 1999 were $411.5 million compared to $407.7 million as of December 31, 1998, a $3.8 million or 1% increase after reclassification of $1.7 million of commercial paper from the loan category to other investments. December 31, 1998 and March 30, 1998 loans and investments have been restated to reflect this change in classification. Capital expenditures amounted to $243 million for the first three months of 1999.
