FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANCORP, INC. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X; accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that are expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. 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 first six months ended June 30, 2003 came from multiple sources. Refinancing of real estate loans remained brisk throughout the period. The impact to liquidity came in terms of gains on sale of these loans into the secondary market and also a decrease in the loan portfolio for those variable and fixed rate loans previously being held by the bank and sold to the secondary markets. Deposit balances also increased during the period and security activity was heavier than normal with calls and sales. During the period, the bank booked $.5 million in realized gains on securities. This was done to strengthen the income position to allow for further loan reserve provisions. The average maturity of the investment portfolio was extended slightly and yield sacrifice was kept to a minimum. During the second quarter of 2003, the bank continued to see its net interest margin strengthen due mainly to deposit repricing. The margin is expected to see continued improvement through August with the higher rate certificate of deposits that are maturing. As stated previously, the bank did make additional provisions to the loan reserve. With the aid of an external vendor, the bank is analyzing the loan loss reserve to confirm its adequacy. The review will be complete by the end of the third quarter. The capital position of the bank improved as shown in the capital ratios listed on the following page. The bank is positioned to have strong earnings through the remainder of the year. The banks financial ratios continued to improve each month since the first quarter and this is expected to continue throughout 2003. 4

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The first quarter is not representative of the bank's earnings potential. It is not anticipated that the loss adjustments will be repeated anytime soon. The bank has seen an improvement in net interest margin and based on the yield and maturity schedules, the margin should continue to improve through the second and third quarters as a result of maturing time deposits that currently have a higher average yield than current reinvestment rates. The bank has also continued to be extremely busy in the residential real estate market with refinancing activities. This should continue to bolster income through at least the second quarter. Management is working diligently to reanalyse the loan loss reserve to ensure it is adequate. This will take time but should be completed in the next few months. The bank remains well capitalized with strong earnings potential. Assuming no major changes in overall economic conditions, subsequent quarters should show improvement for the reasons stated previously. ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The following is a summary of five capital ratios as they are calculated from the June 30, 2003 financial statements: Primary Ratio 12.06% Total Capital Ratio 15.87% Risk Based Capital Tier 1 15.37% Risk Based Capital Tier 2 22.47% Stockholders' Equity/Total Assets 10.99% ITEM 3 MARKET RISK Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates and equity prices. The primary market risk to which the Company is subject is interest rate risk. The majority of the Company's interest rate risk arises, from the instruments, positions and transactions entered into for the purposes other than trading such as loans, available for sale securities, interest bearing deposits, short term borrowings and long term borrowings. Interest rate risk occurs when interest bearing assets and liabilities reprice at different times as market interest rates change. For example, if fixed rate assets are funded with variable rate debt, the spread between asset and liability rates will decline or turn negative if rates increase. Interest rate risk is managed within an overall asset/liability framework for the Company. The principal objectives of asset/liability management are to manage sensitivity of net interest spreads and net income to potential changes in interest rates. Funding positions are kept within predetermined limits designed to ensure that risk-taking is not excessive and that liquidity is properly managed. The Company employs a sensitivity analysis in the form of a net interest income to help in the analysis. 5
