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 March 31, 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 three months ended March 31,2003 has come primarily from two sources. Approximately $19 million of the securities portfolio has matured without reinvestment to replace a reduction in deposits and balances in repurchase agreements. In addition, some variable rate real estate mortgages, that were part of the institution's loan portfolio have been refinanced into fixed rate loans that were in turn sold on the secondary market. During the quarter loan balances decreased by $1.5 million. This was due primarily to the refinancing activities that were previously discussed in the liquidity risk discussion. Loan demand remains steady. The subsidiary bank shows a loss for the first quarter of $218.6 thousand. The two main reasons for the loss were charge offs and additional loan loss reserve allocations. Charge offs were led by the charge off of a large commercial credit. The additional reserve allocation was due to collateral valuations being downgraded. The problem loans were not new to management, and actions are being taken to work out or recover losses to bring our performance back to where it needs to be prior to year end. A new operations center was opened in the first quarter. One time expenses for the quarter, namely repairs-bank building is extremely high due to the cost of UNISYS moving the proof equipment to the Operations Center and replacement of the ATM network signs to the Star Logo. Approximately half of the cost of the signs will be refunded in a future period. Depreciation expense includes the completed cost of the center. 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 March 31, 2003 financial statements: Primary Ratio 11.73% Total Capital Ratio 14.27% Risk Based Capital Tier 1 15.00% Risk Based Capital Tier 2 20.10% Stockholders' Equity/Total Assets 10.76%
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 ITEM 3 MARKET RISK (Continued)
