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, 2001 comes primarily from net income from operations of $1.9 million. This compares with net income of $2.0 million for the same period in 2000. In addition, funds were purchased from correspondents, and the Federal Home Loan Bank. During the quarter loan balances were reduced by 7.7 million. This was primarily due to the payoff of several participation loans with another institution. This also added to the increase in liquidity as is reflected in the amount of Federal Funds sold being held by the bank. The following is a summary of five capital ratios as they are calculated from the March 31, 2001 financial statements: Primary Ratio 11.27% Total Capital Ratio 14.39% Risk Based Capital Tier 1 15.00% Risk Based Capital Tier 2 21.18% Stockholders' Equity/Total Assets 10.30% 5
