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 nine months ended September 30, 2001 comes primarily from net income from operations of $6 million. This compares with net income of $5.6 million for the same period in 2000. In addition, funds were purchased from correspondents, and the Federal Home Loan Bank when needed. During the year loan balances were reduced by 21 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. The following is a summary of five capital ratios as they are calculated from the June 30, 2001 financial statements: Primary Ratio 11.57% Total Capital Ratio 14.17% Risk Based Capital Tier 1 14.98% Risk Based Capital Tier 2 20.19% Stockholders' Equity/Total Assets 10.62% 5
