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 September 30, 1999 comes primarily from net income from operations of $5.3 million This compares with net income of $6.25 million for the same period in 1998.
