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 has continued to be enhanced by the generation of cash through operations primarily by reduction in expenses, and the collection of interest income from productive assets. The rate of increase on capital expenditures has slowed with the completion of the renovation of the main office and the implementation of the new proof system. There will be reasonable increases in this area due to the major renovation of one of the branch offices. The following is a list of four capital ratios as they are calculated from the September 30, 1996 financial statements: Risk-based Capital Ratio 12.80% Leverage Capital Ratio 8.35% Risk Based Capital Tier 1 11.55% Tangible Equity Radio 8.14% During the first nine months of 1996, the bank's loan portfolio has increased $30,358,000. This represents a 9% increase. This was the primary use of cash over the period. An increase of $27,978,000 in deposits was noted at the quarter ended September 30, 1996. This represents a 7% increase. This increase was do in part to the fact that the bank offers very competitive rates for its deposit products. In addition a concerted effort has been implemented to attract more "core" deposits to help with the maintaining of an acceptable net interest margin.
