ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS 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.

As the new year began, the banking industry along with the rest of the business world continued to feel the impact of the slow and difficult economy. As the possible impact of health care reform was on the minds of all businesses, banks were also concerned on the issues of regulatory reform and its potential impact on future revenues and expenses. Those concerns still remain. Short-term rates remain low and are expected to remain low throughout 2010. Meanwhile long-term rates have increased and the additional income that was derived from mortgage financing in 2009 has significantly lessened in 2010. What the steepness of the yield curve has provided in 2010 is the opportunity to book gains on sales of investments without compromising the yield of the investment portfolio and only slightly increasing the duration.

The Bank chose to sell off a portion of the security portfolio, mainly short-term securities that were replaced with only slightly longer terms. In first quarter 2009, the Bank had sales which produced a favorable gain on securities of almost $118 thousand and sold off mainly out of state securities and replaced with pledgeable Ohio securities. In 2010, the favorable gain produced from the sale of securities is over double that at almost $259 thousand.

The two largest expenses of 2009 and 2010 which can be tied to the economy and business failures also remain the same. The amount of provision expensed for loan loss in the first quarter 2009 was approximately $636.5 thousand compared to a 2.5 times higher expense of $1.69 million during first quarter 2010. Addressing declining collateral values and improvement of asset quality remains in the forefront of priorities for 2010. The second factor is the continuation of the high cost of FDIC assessments. Less than $500 seperates the cost between the first quarter of 2009 and 2010, each around $259 thousand. While still predicted to cost over $1 million in 2010, the bright spot will be that it will be under the total expense of 2009, provided an additional special assessment is not levied. Many challenges await the Company in the quarters to come. Overall

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

performance of 2010 should mirror 2009 with the Company remaining strong, stable and well capitalized.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s 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), the valuation of its Mortgage Servicing Rights and the valuation of its post retirement benefit liability 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 management’s estimate of credit losses inherent in the Bank’s 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.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair values of financial instruments are management’s 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.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

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 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, 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 accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair value at the reporting date. Fair value for fixed- rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Borrowings

Short-term borrowings are carried at cost that approximates fair value. Other long-term debt was generally valued using a discounted cash flow analysis with a discounted rate based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of arrangements, or if not available, based on an approach similar to that used for loans and deposits.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

Dividends Payable

The carrying amounts of dividends payable approximate their fair values and are generally paid within forty days of declaration.

Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counter-parties’ credit standing.

The estimated fair values, and related carrying or notional amounts, for on and off-balance sheet financial

Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 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 Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value that were categorized as Level 3 during the period. All of the Company’s available for sale securities, including any bonds issued by local municipalities, have CUSIP numbers or have similar characteristicsof those in the municipal markets, making them comparable and marketable 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 March 31, 2010, such assets consist primarily of impaired loans. The Company has established the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, specifically discounted cash flow projections.

Impaired loans accounted for under FAS 114 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 management’s 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).

At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, impaired loans categorized as Level 3 were $13.4 and $12.2 million, respectively. The change in fair value of impaired loans of $2.3 million for March 31, 2010 and $353 thousand for December 31, 2009 is accounted for in the allowance for loan losses.

Other real estate is reported at either the fiar value of the real estate minus the estimated costs to sell the asset or the cost of the asset. The determination of fair value of the real estate relies primarily on appraisals from third parties. If the fair value of the real estate, minus the estimated costs to sell the asset, is less than the asset’s cost, the deficiency is recognized as a valuation allowance against the asset through a charge to expense, for changes in the asset’s fair value or estimated selling costs.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

In comparing the balance sheet of March 31, 2010 to that of December 31, 2009, the liquidity of the Bank remains strong with a movement of money from cash and due banks to interest bearing deposits with banks. The Bank has taken advantage of the Federal Reserve Bank’s payment of interest on excess funds 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 offered through correspondent banks. Overall, cash and cash equivalents increased over $16 million and securities increased an additional $15.2 million. The Company’s

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)

increased liquidity came from a decrease in Bank’s loan portfolio, an increase in the Bank’s deposits and additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The additional borrowings were in anticipation of the replacement of maturities in 2010 with current low rates specials offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank. Liquidity remains strong and the Bank has money to lend to credit worthy customers.

Net loans show a decrease of $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Almost $1.5 million of the decrease is due to an increase of the loan loss reserve. This is in addition to $200 thousand of net charge-offs for the three months of 2010 decreasing the net loan balance. A portion of the decrease is positive in that troubled loans either paid off or found financing elsewhere — the Bank welcomes that portion. On a less positive note, nonaccruals increased during the quarter by over $1.5 million and past dues over 30 days increased slightly to 2.47% as of March 31st compared to December 31st’s 2.26%. The Bank continues to work on these accounts with the issues streaming from the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios. Overall, total assets of the Company increased $17 million from December 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010.

Deposits increased $6.9 million led by the success of the Bank’s 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 non-interest bearing to interest bearing. In 2010, the Bank strengthened the deposit offering by adding additional options to its already highly successful Reward Checking and renaming it KASASA Cash. Other offerings include KASASA Saver, Giver and Itunes. These continue to be the deposit of choice and attract not only new money of existing customers but new customers to the Bank also.

Capital increased $96 thousand from year-end during the three months of 2010. The increase occurred as the Company did not purchase additional shares of treasury stock due to the pending announcement of the purchase of a branch office in Hicksville, Ohio from First Place Bank along with the timing of published year end results. The Company is authorized to purchase 200,000 shares of treasury stock during 2010. Activity within the treasury stock was due to the retirement of an officer. 50 shares of unearned stock awards were delivered to the employee while another 50 were returned to treasury stock.

A higher increase in capital was hampered by a decrease of just over $300 thousand in accumulated other comprehensive income. This was due to the sale of investments as the gain of $259 thousand shifted out of unrealized gain to realized gain and the new purchases were recorded at market value. The net impact to the capital section for maket value adjustment of the remaining securities was just over a $41 thousand decrease for the quarter.

The Company continues to be well-capitalized in accordance with Federal regulatory capital requirements as the capital ratios below show:


Primary Ratio	10.94	%
Tier I Leverage Ratio	10.10	%
Risk Based Capital Tier I	13.49	%
Total Risk Based Capital	14.69	%
Stockholders’ Equity/Total Assets	10.75	%

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest Income

Interest income and yield on the loan portfolio is up slightly in 2010 as compared to 2009 even with the decrease in loan balances. Interest collected on nonaccruals during the quarter was over $80 thousand and the addition of floors to renewed and new loans helped to increase the yield of the portfolios as compared to the previous year. Adjustments to the Farmer Mac portfolio, which is a loan participation program, also generated additional interest income. To protect the increased yield, the Bank is working to add spread to the margin on the variable rate loans so that when prime does adjust up, the Bank’s rate also adjusts up over the floor. Overall, the yield on the loan portfolio was up 10 basis points from last quarter.

Interest income and yield on the securities portfolio was down as agency notes continued to be called due to the low interest rate environment. Interest on states and political obligations was up significantly as the portfolio increased from a year ago by $17.5 million. Interest income from the investment portfolio was down $99 thousand compared to same quarter last year.

Total interest income was down $51 thousand in comparing the first quarter of 2010 to the first quarter of 2009.

Interest Expense

On the other side of the coin, interest expense continued to be lower than the comparable quarter of last year. Interest expense was down $554 thousand while the deposit balance was up over $38.7 million in comparing the ending balances of each first quarter. 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.

Interest on borrowed funds was also lower in the first quarter of 2010 than it was in the first quarter of 2009 by $78 thousand. 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 agreeements, 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 occuring in the remainder of 2010 and lock in a lower rate for a longer length of time.

The decrease in interest expense outpacing the decrease in interest income remains a bright spot in the performance of 2010 as it was throughout 2009. Overall, the decrease in interest expense was $554 thousand, over one-half a million more than the decrease in interest income.

Net interest income should continue to increase as the Bank continues to work to increase the interest income by reducing the amount of loans in nonaccrual and attempts to add spread on renewing loans. Interest expense on time deposits should also continue to show a decrease until such time that depositors begin to deposit in a longer time frame. 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 slightly over $1 million higher for the three months ended March 2010 as compared to the same 2009 period. As mentioned earlier, the continuation of a large balance in nonaccrual loans along with challenging economic conditions warranted the high provision to the loan loss reserve. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the ALLL stood at $7.47 million compared to $5.93 million as of March 31, 2009 and $6.01 million as of December 31, 2009. The provision of $1.69 million for the first quarter 2010 provided the additional increase needed for the ALLL as the non-accruals remain high and the economy has yet to prove itself as recovering. One million of the provision was allocated for two specific commercial loans whose collateral values had deteriorated upon receipt of new valuations impacting the first quarter of 2010. 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.

Non-interest Income

It was not unexpected that non-interest income would decrease in comparison to first quarter 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. Helping to limit the impact of the loss of mortgage financing revenue was the gain on sale of securities — $141 thousand higher than last March — and the increase of $99 thousand over last year in service change income. Thus, non-interest income was down only $34 thousand from same quarter last year.

Of concern for the remainder of the year is the impact of Regulation E on overdraft revenue and the cost of compliance. As long as the opportunity exists for gains to be recognized from the sale of securities without impacting yield or extending the duration, thereby the interest rate risk, too long, the Bank will continue to take advantage of it. Thus continuing to offset loss from the mortgage financing, possible future overdraft revenue and the cost of troubled loans.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense was 3.74% or $214 thousand higher for 2010 as compared to 2009 for the first quarter of each year. In terms of full-time equivalent employee counts, March 2009 was 257, December 2009 was 251 and March 2010 was 247. The higher expense for salary and wages does not relate directly to the salary expense for employees but rather 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 $129 thousand lower and accounted for the line item increase of salaries and wages.

Pension and other employees benefits were higher as the cost of group insurance was $81 thousand higher than same quarter last year. Overall, the increase to pension and other employee benefits was only $44 thousand higher than March 2009.

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 $97.7 thousand for 2010 over first quarter 2009 in non-interest expense. These increased costs were offset by cost savings in other operating expenses such as dealers reserve where a lower volume of dealer loans were processed in 2010 than in 2009 when the cash for clunkers stimulus was in place. Other operating expenses increased over first quarter 2009 by just $37 thousand. In February 2010, the Bank switched its core software service provider. A decrease in data processing expenses should be seen in the following quarters of 2010.

Net Income

Overall, net income was down $474 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same time period 2009. The increase in the net interest income and specifically the decrease in the interest expense portion was offset by the high provision expense. 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 Company’s goals may be hampered by increasing troubled loans. As an industry, the Company is also hampered from achieving higher profitability by the cost of FDIC assessments and increased regulatory requirements such as Regulation E mentioned earlier and any additional regulations to be enacted during 2010 and their corresponding cost of compliance.

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 is interest rate risk. The majority of the Company’s 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 Company employs a sensitivity analysis in the form of a net interest rate shock as shown in the table on the following page.

3.01%		-3.141	%	Rising		1.000	%		25,298		-2.808	%
3.11%		0.000	%	Flat		0.000	%		26,029		0.000	%

3.30%		6.144	%	Falling		-3.000	%		27,544		5.821	%

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. 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.
