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 for 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. During the first six months of 1997 the bank's loan portfolio has increased $10,950,000. This represents a 3% increase. This was the primary use of cash over the period. An increase of $2,549,000 in deposits was noted for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. This represents a 1% 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 marketing effort has been implemented to attract more "core" deposits to help with the maintaining of an acceptable net interest margin. The following is a list of five capital ratios as they are calculated from the June 30, 1997 financial statements: Primary Ratio 10.07% Total Capital Ratio 11.76% Risk Based Capital Tier 1 13.00% Risk Based Capital Tier 2 17.06% Stockholders' Equity/Total Assets 9.07% 5
