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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that are expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Companys
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
In July 2010, FASB issued a statement which expands disclosures about credit quality of financing receivables
and allowance for credit losses. The standard will require the Company to expand disclosures about credit
quality of loans and the related reserves against them. The disclosures will include details on past due loans,
credit quality indicators, and modifications on loans. The Company will adopt the standard beginning with
the December 31, 2010 financial statements.
NOTE 2 FAIR VALUE OF INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair values of financial instruments are managements estimate of the values at which the instruments could
be exchanged in a transaction between willing parties. These estimates are subjective and may vary
significantly from amounts that would be realized in actual transactions. In addition, other significant assets
are not considered financial assets including deferred tax assets, premises, equipment and intangibles. Further,
the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect
on the fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the elements.
The following assumptions and methods were used in estimating the fair value for financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, cash equivalents and federal funds sold approximate
their fair values. Also included in this line item are the carrying amounts of interest-bearing deposits maturing
within ninety days which approximate their fair values. Fair values of other interest-bearing deposits are
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current rates for similar types of deposits.
Securities and Other Securities
Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank stock, are based on quoted market price, where
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of
comparable instruments. The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based
on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Loans
Most commercial, agricultural and real estate mortgage loans are made on a variable rate basis. For those variable
rate loans that re-price frequently, and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
The fair values of the fixed rate and all other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. This is accomplished
by using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar credit quality.
Deposits
The fair values disclosed for deposits with no defined maturities are equal to their carrying amounts, which
represent the amount payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed term money market

Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present information about the Companys assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis at September 30, 2010, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine
those fair values.
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These Level 2
inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and
yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market
activity for the related asset or liability.
In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value
measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The
Companys assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and
considers factors specific to each asset or liability.
Disclosures concerning assets and liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

The Company did have assets measured at fair value that were categorized as Level 3 during the period. The Companys
available for sale securities includes bonds issued by local municipalities. Those municipal bonds that did not have CUSIP
or credit ratings numbers were treated as Level 3. Those bonds, including municipalities, that did have CUSIP numbers or
have similar characteristics of those in like markets, were considered comparable and marketable and reported as Level 2.
The Company also has assets that, under certain conditions, are subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring
basis. At September 30, 2010, such assets consist primarily of impaired loans and other real estate. The Company has
established the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, each individually described below.
Impaired loans categorized as Level 3 assets consist of non-homogeneous loans that are considered impaired. The
Company estimates the fair value of the loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows using
managements best estimate of key assumptions. These assumptions include future payment ability, timing
of payment streams, and estimated realizable values of available collateral (typically based on outside appraisals.)

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on February 25, 1985, under the
laws of the State of Ohio. Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc., and its subsidiary The Farmers & Merchants
State Bank (the Bank) are engaged in commercial banking. The executive offices of the Company are
located at 307 North Defiance Street, Archbold 43502.
The Farmers & Merchants State Bank engages in general commercial banking and savings business. Their activities
include commercial, agricultural and residential mortgage, consumer and credit card lending activities. Because the
Banks offices are located in Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana, a substantial amount of the loan portfolio is comprised
of loans made to customers in the farming industry for such things as farm land, farm equipment, livestock and general
operation loans for seed, fertilizer, and feed. Other types of lending activities include loans for home improvements, and
loans for such items as autos, trucks, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, etc.
The Banks underwriting policies exercised through established procedures facilitates operating in a safe and sound manner
in accordance with supervisory and regulatory guidance. Within this sphere of safety and soundness, the Banks practice
has been not to promote innovative, unproven credit products which will not be in the best interest of the Bank or its
customers. The Bank does offer a hybrid loan. Hybrid loans are loans that start out as a fixed rate mortgage but after
a set number of years they automatically adjust to an adjustable rate mortgage. The Bank offers a three year fixed rate
mortgage after which the interest rate will adjust annually. The majority of the Banks adjustable rate mortgages are of
this type. In order to offer longer term fixed rate mortgages, the Bank does participate in the Freddie Mac, Farmer Mac
and Small Business Lending programs. The Bank does also retain the servicing on these partially or 100% sold loans. In
order for the customer to participate in these programs they must meet the requirements established by these agencies.
The Bank does not fund sub-prime loans. Sub-prime loans are characterized as a lending program or strategy that target
borrowers who pose a significantly higher risk of default than traditional retail banking customers.
Following are the characteristics and underwriting criteria for each major type of loan the Bank offers:
Commercial Real Estate Construction, purchase, and refinance of real estate of a business nature. Risks include
loan amount in relation to construction delays and overruns, vacancies, collateral value subject to market value fluctuations,
interest rate, market demands, borrowers ability to repay in orderly fashion, and others.
Agricultural Real Estate Purchase of farm real estate or for permanent improvements to the farm real estate. Cash flow
from the farm operation is the repayment source and is therefore subject to the financial success of the farm operation.
Consumer Real Estate Purchase, refinance, or equity financing of one to four family owner occupied dwelling. Success
in repayment is subject to borrowers income, debt level, character in fulfilling payment obligations, employment, and others.

INTRODUCTION (Continued)
The Bank is participating in the expanded FDIC limits utilizing the additional coverage provided in the Temporary Liquidity
Guarantee Program (TAG) through December 2010. TAG provides unlimited FDIC insurance coverage on non-interest
bearing accounts. The Bank believes the cost for this coverage is offset by the benefit to their customers. The material
cost of FDIC is the assessments for the base program and not TAG.
The Banks primary market includes communities located in the Ohio counties of Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Williams and
Wood and in the Indiana counties of DeKalb and Steuben. The commercial banking business in this market are highly
competitive with approximately 17 other depository institutions doing business in the Banks primary market. The Bank
competes directly with other commercial banks, credit unions and farm credit services and savings and loan institutions in
each of their operating localities. In a number of locations, the Bank competes against institutions which are much larger.
The Companys common stock is not listed on any exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. The stock is currently quoted
in over-the-counter markets.
2010 IN REVIEW
The impact of new legislation, such as Health Care and Dodd-Frank Financial Reform (collectively, Financial Reform
legislation), weighs heavily on the minds of bankers along with their customers as 2010 continues to be a year of change.
The primary concerns at this point are the impact on future revenues and expenses and how quickly it will be felt. Short-term
rates remain low and are expected to remain low throughout 2010 and most of 2011. This has enabled the Company to continue
to sell investment securities and recognize a gain without compromising the yield while modestly increasing the duration
of the investment portfolio. In the first three quarters of 2009, the Bank had sales which produced a favorable gain on securities
of $147 thousand and sold off mainly out-of-state securities, which were replaced with pledgeable Ohio securities. In 2010, the
favorable gain produced from the sale of securities is $956 thousand. Most of the securities sold during the first three
quarters of 2010 were agencies maturing in a shorter time period than the securities that were purchased to replace them.
The Bank was able to capitalize on the steepness of the yield curve.
Easing of the long term rates has continued and is now at a level that has attracted many customers to refinance their
mortgage. For some, the ability to refinance is hampered by the decrease in collateral valuations and the customers ability
to maintain sufficient loan to value levels. However, at the current low rates, many customers with lower loan to value levels
are refinancing. In addition, in most cases, the decrease in rate is large enough to offset additional or modified fees charged
in the secondary mortgage market.
The two largest expenses of 2009 and 2010 which can be tied to the economy and resulting business failures remain
the same. The amount of provision expense for loan loss in the first three quarters of 2009 was approximately
$3.2 million compared to an expense of $4.9 million during the same time period of 2010. In addition, the Bank experienced
an increase in collection costs, including legal fees. Collection costs are over 40 percent higher, up $218 thousand so far in
2010 as compared to September 30, 2009. Addressing declining collateral values and improvement of asset quality remains
in the fore-front of priorities for 2010. The second factor is the continuation of the high cost of FDIC assessments.
While the cost of FDIC insurance in 2010 is lower than 2009, the cost remains significant at over $780,000. Unknown are
what the final reduction or increase in cost will be and the timing of the new rules that will come from the Financial Reform
legislation and the permanent increase of FDIC coverage to $250,000.
The Banks local service area has experienced a very slight improvement in employment rates in mid year 2010
from year end 2009. The improvement is not considered significant at this time. The majority of the Banks
commercial borrowers have experienced slight improvement, although a few still lag. As the economic recovery
remains fragile and consumer confidence remains at lower levels, consumer sensitive industries such as the hotel/motel
industry and the retail sector may continue to experience pressures as well.
On July 9, 2010, the Bank completed its purchase of a branch office in Hicksville, Ohio from First Place Bank, a savings
association with its main office in Warren, OH. Deposits of close to $28 million and loans of $14 million were included
in the purchase. The new office is located within the Banks current market area, shortening the distance between offices
in the Ohio and Indiana market area. The Bank looks for the transaction to be accretive to earnings within the first
twelve months of operation.

2010 IN REVIEW (Continued)
Overall the Companys performance in other areas has enabled the Company to weather the storm and
remain strong, stable and well capitalized. The Company has the capacity to continue to cover the increased
costs of doing business in a tough economy and looks forward to brighter days.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ESTIMATES
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company follows general practices within the
industries in which it operates. At times the application of these principles requires Management to make
assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. These
assumptions, estimates and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial
statements. As this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different assumptions, estimates
and judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on assumptions, estimates and judgments
and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally
reported. Examples of critical assumptions, estimates and judgments are when assets and liabilities are required
to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not required to be recorded at fair value
warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established, or when an asset or liability must be
recorded contingent upon a future event.
Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to assumptions,
estimates, and judgments underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) and the valuation of its Mortgage Servicing Rights as the
accounting areas that requires the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such have the highest
possibility of being subject to revision as new information becomes available.
The ALLL represents managements estimate of credit losses inherent in the Banks loan portfolio at the report
date. The estimate is a composite of a variety of factors including past experience, collateral value and the
general economy. ALLL includes a specific portion, a formula driven portion, and a general nonspecific portion.
The Banks ALLL methodology captures trends in leading, current, and lagging indicators which will have a direct affect
on the Banks allocation amount. Trends in such leading indicators as delinquency, unemployment, changes in the Banks
service area, experience and ability of staff, regulatory trends, and credit concentrations are referenced. A current indicator
such as the total Watch List loan amount to Capital, and a lagging indicator such as the charge off amount are referenced
as well. A matrix is formed by loan type from these indicators that is responsive in making ALLL adjustments.
Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial
assets. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into noninterest expense in proportion to,
and over the period of, the estimated future servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are
evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the amortized cost. Impairment is deter-
mined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows
using market based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual stratum, to the
extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the stratum. Fees received for servicing loans owned by
investors are based on a percentage of the outstanding monthly principal balance of such loans and are included in
operating income as loan payments are received. Costs of servicing loans are charged to expense as incurred. The Bank
utilizes a third party vendor to estimate the fair value of their mortgage servicing rights which utilizes national prepayment
speeds in its calculations.
MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION,
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In comparing the balance sheet of September 30, 2010 to that of December 31, 2009, the liquidity of the Bank has increased
and remains strong with a movement of money from cash and due from banks and Federal Funds Sold to interest bearing
deposits with banks. The Bank has taken advantage of the Federal Reserves payment of interest and also placed funds
in term deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank which are also used for collateral pledging for notes coming due in 2010.
The Bank monitors the rate paid by the Federal Reserve versus the Federal Funds Sold rate and other deposit rates

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)
offered through correspondent banks. Overall, cash and cash equivalents increased over $22.5 million and securities increased
an additional $44.5 million. The Companys increased liquidity came from a decrease of almost $24.1 million in the Banks
loan portfolio and deposit growth of $36.9 million. During the quarter, $8 million in other borrowed money from the Federal
Home Loan Bank was paid off from term deposits that were being held there. This was calculated, as $9 million was
borrowed in the first quarter of 2010 to lock in lower rates. Liquidity remains high with the Bank also having access to $27
million of unsecured borrowings through correspondent banks and $70.5 million of unpledged securities which may be sold or
used as collateral. The strength of the security portfolio is shown in the tables to follow. With the exception of stock,
all of the Banks security portfolio is categorized as available for sale and as such is recorded at market value. The
charts which follow do not include stock.
Investment securities will at times depreciate to an unrealized loss position. The Bank utilizes the following criteria to assess
whether or not an impaired security is other than temporary. No one item by itself will necessarily signal that a security
should be recognized as other than temporary impairment.
1. The fair value of the security has significantly declined from book value.
2. A down grade has occurred that lowers the credit rating to below investment grade (below Baa3 by Moody and
BBB- by Standard and Poors).
3. Dividends have been reduced or eliminated or scheduled interest payments have not been made.
4. The underwater security has longer than 10 years to maturity and the loss position had existed for more than 3 years.
5. Management does not possess both the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for
any anticipated recovery in fair value.
If the impairment is judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security shall be written down to
fair value, thereby establishing a new cost basis. The amount of the write down shall be included in earnings as a realized
loss. The new cost basis shall not be changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value. The recovery in fair value shall be
recognized in earnings when the security is sold. The first table is presented by category of security and length of time in a
continuous loss position. The Bank currently does not hold any securities with other than temporary impairment.

Net loans show a decrease of $24.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. $4.3 million was charged-off
during the nine month period. While over $7 million came off the watch list during the third quarter, it was not all due
to having been charged-off. A portion of the decrease is positive in that troubled loans were either paid off or were refinanced
elsewhere. The purchase of the Hicksville office added approximately $14 million in loans, mainly in the 1-4 family real estate
portfolio. Overall, total assets of the Company increased $46.2 million from December 31, 2009 to September 30, 2010.
The following chart shows the breakdown of the loan portfolio as of December 31st for past years and as of the current quarter
ended for the current year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)
Deposits increased $36.9 million in total from December 31, 2009. The mix of the portfolio continued to transition to a higher
level of core deposits as a result primarily of the Banks offering of a high interest bearing transaction account along with an
increase in health savings accounts. The success of this product is also the reason for the continued movement of deposits
out of Certificates of Deposit to interest bearing transaction accounts. In 2010, the Bank strengthened its line of deposit
products by adding additional products which added additional options to its already highly successful Reward Checking, which
was renamed KASASA Cash. The additional options include KASASA Saver, KASASA Giver and KASASA ITunes.
These continue to be the deposit of choice and attract not only new money from existing customers but new customers to
the Bank also.
The Certificate of Deposit (COD) portfolio has decreased $1.8 million during the first three quarters of 2010 which is helping
to decrease the cost of funds, as demonstrated below in the section of this MD&A captioned MATERIAL CHANGES IN
RESULTS OF OPERATION Interest Expense.
Capital increased approximately $3.2 million from year-end during the nine months of 2010. The increase occurred even
with the Companys repurchase of 27,725 shares of common stock costing $533 thousand which took place in the first six months.
Positive earnings and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income offset the stock repurchases. Comprehensive
income increased $1.3 million even with the shift of $956 thousand from unrealized gain to realized gain with the sale of securities.
Dividends remained stable during the period.
The Company continues to be well-capitalized in accordance with Federal regulatory capital requirements as

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest Income
Annualized interest income and yield on earning assets is down in 2010 as compared to September 30, 2009. While total
assets were higher than year end, the decrease resulted primarily from the transition of the Companys earning assets from
high yield to lower yield assets. As the table that follows confirms, the shift of funds within the interest earning portfolios
caused a lower yield thereby causing lower interest income even though assets increased. The largest change in yield came
in the additions to the taxable security portfolio as the Bank sought to keep the growth in shorter periods for liquidity.
The Bank worked to minimize the impact of the low rate environment on its loan portfolio with the use of floors
to renewed and new loans. Adjustments to the Farmer Mac portfolio, which is a loan participation program, also
generated additional interest income. To protect the yield, the Bank is working to add spread to the margin on
the variable rate loans so that when prime does adjust up, the Banks rate also adjusts up over the floor. Overall, interest
income from loans was down $406 thousand in comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to same period for
2009. However, interest income from loans was up $9 thousand in comparing the quarter ended September 30, 2010 to 2009.
Interest income and yield on the securities portfolio was down as agency notes continued to be called due to the low interest
rate environment. Period ending balances are deceiving as compared to the interest earnings due to the shift of holdings from
the sales, calls and maturity and the replacement securities. The average balances in the table are more useful to see the
impact of those activities.
Total interest income was down almost $700 thousand in comparing the first nine month of 2010 to the first nine months of 2009.

The yields on tax-exempt securities and the portion of tax-exempt IDB loans included in loans have been
tax adjusted based on a 34% tax rate in the charts above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense continued to be lower than the comparable three months and nine months periods from 2009. Interest expense
related to deposits was down $1.4 million while the deposit balance increased by $70.7 million in comparing the ending balances
of each first nine months. Approximately $28 million of the growth came through the purchase of the Hicksville office. Time
deposits continue to reprice down and the Bank continues to try and lengthen the duration of the portfolio with specials offered
in terms longer than 12 months. However, depositors continue to place more funds in shorter term deposits or move elsewhere.
Interest on borrowed funds was $325 thousand and $66 thousand lower, respectively, for the nine and three month periods
ended September 30, 2010, than for the comparable periods of 2009. While additional borrowings from Federal Home Loan Bank
in the amount of $9 million were taken in the first quarter of 2010, the rates on those borrowings were lower than those
paid off during 2009. Rates paid on the daily repurchase agreements, used by the Bank to offset commercial sweep
accounts, were also lower in 2010 than the corresponding rate paid in 2009. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank
were taken to offset maturities of $13 million scheduled for the remainder of 2010 of which $8 million matured
in the third quarter and to lock in a lower rate for a longer length of time.
The decrease in interest expense outpaced the decrease in interest income and remains a bright spot in the
performance of 2010 as it was throughout 2009.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is higher in both quarter and first nine months comparisons, which improvement is primarily
due to the ability of the Bank to decrease its cost of funds by lowering rates on interest bearing liabilities.
This decrease offset the loss of interest income due to lower overall rates on earning assets. The additional revenue
helped to offset the loan costs in provision and collection expense.
Net interest income should continue to increase as the Bank continues to work to increase interest income by reducing
the amount of nonaccrual loans and attempting to add spread on renewing loans. Interest expense on time deposits should
also continue to show a decrease until depositors begin to transition back into longer-term deposits. If and when rates
begin to rise, the challenge will be to delay the pricing up of deposits.
Provision Expense
Provision for loan loss was over $1.7 million higher for the nine months ended September 2010 as compared to the same 2009
period. The continuation of a large balance in nonaccrual loans, though decreasing the last two quarters, along with challenging
economic conditions warranted the high provision to the loan loss reserve. Non-accruals decreased $2.1 million during the
first nine months of 2010 and past dues over 30 days decreased to 2.17% of total loans as of September 30, 2010 from 2.26%
at December 31, 2009. The Bank continues to work on these accounts, with its focus primarily on the commercial and com-
mercial real estate portfolios. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the ALLL stood at $7.0 million compared to $7.4
million as of September 30, 2009 and $6.0 million as of December 31, 2009. The provision of $4.9 million as of September 30,
2010 consisted of $1.7 million for the first quarter 2010, another $2.0 million in the second quarter and another $1.2 million for
the third quarter. One million of the provision was allocated for two specific commercial loans whose collateral values had
deteriorated upon receipt of new valuations. As charts below will show, a part of the provision was also to replace
the reserve balance depleted from net charge-offs during the period. The longer the economy struggles, the more likely
additional credits may encounter cash flow problems and the Bank remains diligent in providing funds to offset future losses.
The Bank uses the following guidelines as stated in policy to determine when to realize a charge-off, whether a partial or
full loan balance. A charge down in whole or in part is realized when unsecured consumer loans, credit card credits and
overdraft lines of credit reach 90 days delinquency. At 120 days delinquent, secured consumer loans are charged down
to the value of the collateral, if repossession of the collateral is assured and/or in the process of repossession. Consumer
mortgage loan deficiencies are charged down upon the sale of the collateral or sooner upon the recognition of collateral
deficiency. Commercial and agricultural credits are charged down at 120 days delinquency, unless an established

and approved work-out plan is in place or litigation of the credit will likely result in recovery of the loan balance. Upon
notification of bankruptcy, unsecured debt is charged off. Additional charge-off may be realized as further unsecured
positions are recognized.
Looking at the balance in impaired loans, it shows the Bank has finally had some movement of loans out of this classification,
$3.3 million. The decrease was due mainly to the collection of principal from the sale of collateral from one borrower and the
remainder from charge-off activity within this classification of
loans.
The make-up of loans in the impaired classification has also changed during the nine month period with over one
third of the relationships considered impaired as of December 31, 2009 are no longer included in the balances in September 2010.
The following table tracks the change in impaired loans and their valuation allowance along with nonaccrual balances as of
year end 2009 and the quarter ending September 30, 2010.

In determining the allocation for impaired loans the Bank applies the observable market price of the collateral securing
the asset, reduced by applying a discount for estimated costs of collateral liquidation. In some instances where the
discounted market value is less than the loan amount, a specific impairment allocation is assigned, which may be reduced
or eliminated by the write down of the credits active principal outstanding balance.
For the majority of the Banks impaired loans, the Bank will apply the observable market price methodology. However,
the Bank may also utilize a measurement incorporating the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the
loans effective rate of interest. To determine observable market price, collateral asset values securing an impaired loan
are periodically evaluated. Maximum time of re-evaluation is every 12 months for chattels and titled vehicles and every
two years for real estate. In this process, third party evaluations are obtained and heavily relied upon. Until such time that
updated appraisals are received, the Bank may discount the collateral value used.
The ALLL has a direct impact on the provision expense. The increase in the ALLL is funded through recoveries and
provision expense. The following tables both deal with the allowance for credit losses. The first table breaks down the
activity within ALLL for each loan portfolio segment and shows the contribution provided by both the recoveries and the
provision along with the reduction of the allowance caused by charge-offs. The second table discloses how much of
ALLL is attributed to each segment of the loan portfolio, as well as the percent that each particular segment of the loan
portfolio represents to the entire loan portfolio in the aggregate. As was mentioned in previous discussion, the
commercial and commercial real estate portfolios are having a major impact on the ALLL and the provision expense.

The percentage of delinquent loans has trended downward since the beginning of 2010 from a high of 2.85% of total loans
in January to a low of 1.97% as of the end of June 2010. These percentages do not include nonaccrual loans which are
not past due. This level of delinquency is due in part to an adherence to sound underwriting practices over the course of
time, an improvement in the financial status of companies to which the Bank extends credit, continued financial stability
in the agricultural loan portfolio, and the writing down of uncollectable credits in a timely manner.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income was higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to same periods in
September 30, 2009. It is surprising; because it is a reversal of the same comparison of the first quarter 2010 to the first quarter
of 2009. First quarter 2009 performance was exceptional with the addition of revenue coming from the mortgage financing
activity and sale of consumer real estate loans into the secondary market. Mortgage financing in 2010 has been minimal at
best; however, the activity picked-up again in the third quarter of 2010. Offsetting the impact of the loss of mortgage financing
revenue was the gain on sale of securities which was $809 thousand higher than the nine month period ended September 30, 2009
of which $438 thousand was the increase for just the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Service Charge income was also
higher in both quarters with a difference of $210 thousand in year-to-date comparison of 2010 and 2009. The majority of
the increase was associated with overdraft and return check fees. The increase in the checking and savings portfolios in
terms of number of accounts has been the main factor behind the additional collection of fees. Overall, non-interest income
improved and ended $955 thousand higher for the first nine months of operations in 2010 as compared to 2009.
The impact of mortgage servicing rights, both to income and expense, is shown in the following table which reconciles
the value of mortgage servicing rights which is reported as an other asset on the balance sheet. The capitalization runs
through non-interest income while the amortization thereof is included in non-interest expense.

Of concern for the remainder of the year is the impact of recently amended Federal Reserve Regulation E on overdraft
revenue and the cost of compliance. Regulation E requires confirmation to be received from the depositor to allow
overdrafts to occur on point of sale (debit) card and ATM transactions. Customers must notify us of their decision to either Opt In
or Opt Out of the Banks overdraft protection program. Opting in allows the overdraft and also allows the Bank to charge accordingly.
At this point in time, the Bank has been very pleased with the response of 85% of our target depositors opting in. Target
depositors
are those who have had overdraft since January 1, 2009. Opting in enables the customer to access funds available through
the Banks overdraft protection program. Industry projections had been for a possible loss of income from 30 to 50% for Banks;
however the Bank is optimistic that with the positive response received thus far, the loss of revenue will be lower.
Since its implementation in the middle of August, for the two months ended, the decrease has only been 11%.
As long as the opportunity exists for gains to be recognized from the sale of securities without impacting yield and
extending the maturity duration too long, the Bank will continue to take advantage of it. This provides an opportunity for
the Bank to offset the loss of both noninterest income from the mortgage financing of 2009 and possible future overdraft
revenue. The gain booked in 2010 was based on security sales of $55.7 million while 2009s nine months gain was based on
security sales of $4.2 million. There were not any securities sold at a loss in the nine month periods ending September
30, 2009
and 2010.
The movement of income from comprehensive income to realized gain on sale of securities is disclosed in
the table to follow. Since the Bank classifies its entire investment portfolio, with the exception of stock, as
available for sale, the majority of any gain/loss on the sale is a direct shift of funds from unrealized gain to
realized gain. Since the purchase of additional or replacement securities occurs at the same time, those
new securities immediately impact the other comprehensive income. Also impacting the comprehensive income
is the movement of the market rates in general and its impact on the overall portfolio.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 was $92 thousand higher than for the same period of 2009. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2010, it was at $87 thousand lower than for the same period of 2009. Salaries and wages was higher
by $87 thousand during the quarter which was expected with the addition of the Hicksville office. The larger increase was in other
operating expenses, driven primarily by loan collection expenses. One of the benefits of the mortgage financing in 2009 was the
addition
of mortgage servicing rights income and its large increase over the amortization expense of those rights. Mortgage servicing
expense therefore was a large piece of the non-interest expense in 2009 and since the mortgage financing has slowed
considerably in 2010, that expense is $417 thousand lower year to date than what it was in 2009 as of September 30th, though
somewhat
lower than the difference of $484 thousand as of the end of June 30th, 2010.
With respect to FDIC assessments, in the second quarter of 2009 the FDIC levied a special assessment on all banks, in
addition to the regular assessments and while the expense is still high in 2010, it does not include an additional assessment.
As a result, FDIC expense was approximately $315 thousand lower year to date than 2009. Continuing on the
positive side, a smaller decrease of $99 thousand in comparing September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2009 was derived from a change
in service bureaus for the Banks core operating system. This change occurred in late first quarter so the Bank would
expect this lower cost to carry forward throughout 2010. The improvement continued even with the addition of the new
branch office in Hicksville, Ohio in July 2010, though it did lessen the savings in terms of actual dollars spent but not in
prorata costs.
The higher expense for salary and wages was also related to the reduction of the contra account that serves as an offset
for loan origination costs. With loan production lower, deferred loan costs established were $410 thousand lower and
accounted for a larger portion of the line item increase in salaries and wages.
Occupancy expense was lower by $194 thousand in the nine months comparison of 2010 to 2009 and lower by $82 thousand
in the three months ended September 30th comparing 2010 and 2009. The reduction is partly attributed to the increase
in building rent of $89 thousand which serves as an offset to this line item. The Bank collects building rent from the
F&M Investment division which offers a brokerage service through a partnership with Raymond James Financial. F&M
Investment is not a separate company but a department within the Bank. The Bank also collects rental income on some of
its other real estate owned.
The increase in troubled loans impacts more than just the interest income of the Bank. It also tends to increase
the cost of collection and legal fees, all of which added together accounted for an increase of $218 thousand
for 2010 over the first nine months 2009 in non-interest expense.
Net Income
Overall, net income was up $389 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and $921 thousand for the three compared
months ended September 30, 2010 as to the same periods 2009. For the first time in 2010, the Company showed an improvement
year to date over the comparable period in 2009. This is important to note in that it highlights the Company has made
improvements that significantly impact the bottom line when the loan provision entries for each of the three quarters
of 2010 is reviewed. The gain on sale of investments obviously plays a large role in the improvement and the Company

is fortunate that the opportunity existed to capture income that has been used to offset the large provision expense.
However, the gain on sale is not the only bright spot that occurred in the third quarter. The improvement in net interest
income for the quarter and also in the net non-interest position of the Company bodes well for continued improvement
in profitability through the last quarter of 2010.
The Company remains positioned for continued improvement in the net interest margin while rates remain low.
It will be a challenge to maintain the margin once short term rates begin to rise. However, the Bank remains
focused on improving the asset yield through improved asset quality and added spread to prime on variable loans.
As long as the economy remains slow, the Companys goals may be hampered by increasing troubled loans even
though the Bank has been working diligently to limit its exposure. As an industry, the Company is also limited
from achieving higher profitability by the cost of FDIC assessments and increased regulatory requirements such as
Regulation E, the newly passed Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any other additional
regulations that may be enacted during 2010 and their corresponding cost of compliance.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements contained in this portion of the Companys report may be forward-looking statements, as that term
is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified
by the use of words such as intend, believe, expect, anticipate, should, planned, estimated, and
potential. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, but may differ materially from those
currently anticipated due to a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to, factors discussed in documents
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Other factors which could
have a material adverse effect on the operations of the company and its subsidiaries which include, but are not limited
to, changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal
policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board, the
quality and composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, deposit flows, competition,
demand for financial services in the Banks market area, changes in relevant accounting principles and guidelines
and other factors over which management has no control. The forward-looking statements are made as of the
date of this report, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or to update
the reasons why actual results differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
ITEM 3 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT 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 to is interest rate risk. The majority of the
Companys interest rate risk arises from the instruments, positions and transactions entered into
for purposes, other than trading, such as lending, investing and securing sources of funds.
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 net interest margin represents the forecasted twelve month margin. It also shows what effect rate
changes will have on both the margin and the net interest income. The shock report has consistently shown an improvement
in a falling rate environment at the 100 basis point drop. It is hard to imagine that the Company could actually experience a
200 basis point or higher drop in the low rate environment of today. The goal of the Company is to lengthen some
of the liabilities or sources of funds to decrease the exposure to a rising rate environment. The Bank
has offered higher rates on certificates of deposits for longer periods during 2009 and so far in 2010. Of
course, customer desires also drive the ability to capture longer term deposits. Currently, the customer looks
for terms twelve months and under while the Bank would prefer 24 months and longer. It is often a
meeting in the middle that satisfies both.
The Bank continues to remain focused on gaining more relationships per customer as a way to help
control the cost of funds also. In the flat and rising rate environment scenario, the model cannot
take into account the addition of floors and increased spread on the loan accounts. These are
added as the note is renewed and cannot be captured until then. To the extent the Bank is
successful in this endeavor, the flat and rising rate scenario will be more profitable than forecasted here.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of September 30, 2010, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of
the Companys management including the CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Companys
management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of September 30, 2010. There have been no significant changes in the
Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30,
2010.
