PART 1.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS:

General

Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. (Company) is a bank holding company under the
laws of Ohio and was incorporated in 1985. Our primary subsidiary, The Farmers &
Merchants State Bank (Bank) is a community bank in Northwest Ohio, as it has
been since 1897. Our only other subsidiary, Farmers & Merchants Life Insurance
Company, a reinsurance company for life, accident and health insurance for the
Bank's consumer credits, was formed in 1992. We report our financial condition
and net income on a consolidated basis and we report only one segment.

Our executive offices are located at 307-11 North Defiance Street, Archbold,
Ohio 43502, and our telephone number is (419) 446-2501.

Nature Of Activities

The Farmers & Merchants State Bank engages in general commercial banking and
savings business. Our activities include commercial and residential mortgage,
consumer, and credit card lending activities. Because our Bank's branches are
located in Northwest Ohio, a substantial amount of our 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, feed, etc. Other types of lending activities include loans for home
improvements, student loans, and loans for such items as autos, trucks,
recreational vehicles, mobile homes, motorcycles, etc. We have previously
engaged in direct finance leasing and have invested in leveraged type leases,
although the activity in this area has substantially decreased in recent years.

We also provide checking account services, as well as, savings and other time
deposit services such as certificates of deposits. In addition, ATM's (automated
teller machines) (Money Access Corporation) are also provided in our offices in
Archbold, Wauseon, Stryker, West Unity, Bryan, Delta and Napoleon, Montpelier,
Swanton, and Defiance. Two ATM's are also located at Sauder Woodworking Co.,
Inc., a major employer in Archbold. Additional locations are at Northwest State
Community College, Archbold; Williams County Hospital, Bryan; Fairlawn Haven
Wyse Commons, Archbold; Repp Oil, Fayette; Delta Eagles, Bryan; and Sauder
Village Barn Restaurant, Archbold.

Farmers & Merchants Life Insurance Company was established to provide services
to our customers through the issuance of life and disability insurance policies.
Our Bank's lending officers are the selling agents of the policies to customers.
The activities of Farmers & Merchants Life Insurance Co. are not significant to
the consolidated company.

F&M Investments, the brokerage department of the Bank, opened for business in
April, 1999. Securities are offered through Raymond James Financial Services,
Inc.

The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956. Our subsidiary bank is in turn regulated and examined by
the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation and the Federal Reserve System. The activities of our bank
subsidiary are also subject to other federal and state laws and regulations,
including usury and consumer credit laws, state laws relating to fiduciaries,
the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z as promulgated thereunder by
the Board of Governors, the Truth in Savings Act, the Bank Bribery Act, the
Competitive Equality Banking Act of 1987, the Expedited

                                       4
<PAGE>

Funds Availability Act, the Community Reinvestment Act, the FDICIA (Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Insurance Act), FIRREA (Federal Institutions
Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989), the Bank Merger Act, and the
Graham-Leach-Bliley Act regarding financial modernization among others.

The commercial banking business in the geographical area in which the Bank
operates is highly competitive. In our banking activities, we compete directly
with other commercial banks and savings and loan institutions in each of our
operating localities. In a number of our locations, we compete against entities
which are much larger than us. The primary factors in competing for loans and
deposits are the rates charged as well as location and quality of the services
provided.

At December 31, 2004, we had 230 full time equivalent employees. The employees
are not represented by a collective bargaining unit. We provide our employees
with a comprehensive benefit program, some of which are contributory. We
consider our employee relations to be excellent.

Supervision And Regulation

General

The Company is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Ohio. The
business in which the Company and its subsidiary are engaged is subject to
extensive supervision, regulation and examination by various bank regulatory
authorities. The supervision, regulation and examination to which the Company
and its subsidiary are subject are intended primarily for the protection of
depositors and the deposit insurance funds that insure the deposits of banks,
rather than for the protection of shareholders.

Several of the more significant regulatory provisions applicable to banks and
bank holding companies to which the Company and its subsidiary are subject are
discussed below, along with certain regulatory matters concerning the Company
and its subsidiary. To the extent that the following information describes
statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the particular statutory provisions. Any change in applicable law or
regulation may have a material effect on the business and prospects of the
Company and its subsidiary.

Regulatory Agencies

The Company is a registered bank holding company and is subject to inspection,
examination and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve Board") pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended.

The Bank is an Ohio chartered commercial bank. It is subject to regulation and
examination by both the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (the "ODFI") and
the FDIC.

Holding Company Activities

As a bank holding company incorporated and doing business within the State of
Ohio, the Company is subject to regulation and supervision under the Bank
Holding Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"). The Company is required to file
with the Federal Reserve Board on a quarterly basis information pursuant to the
Act. The Federal Reserve Board may conduct examinations or inspections of the
Company and its subsidiaries.

                                       5
<PAGE>

The Company is required to obtain prior approval from the Federal Reserve Board
for the acquisition of more than five percent of the voting shares or
substantially all of the assets of any bank or bank holding company. In
addition, the Company is generally prohibited by the Act from acquiring direct
or indirect ownership or control of more than five percent of the voting shares
of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company and from engaging
directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or
controlling banks or furnishing services to its subsidiaries. The Company may,
however, subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, engage in,
or acquire shares of companies engaged in activities which are deemed by the
Federal Reserve Board by order or by regulation to be so closely related to
banking or managing and controlling a bank as to be a proper activity.

On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the "GLB Act") was enacted
into law. The GLB Act made sweeping changes with respect to the permissible
financial services which various types of financial institutions may now
provide. The Glass-Steagall Act, which had generally prevented banks from
affiliation with securities and insurance firms, was repealed. Pursuant to the
GLB Act, bank holding companies may elect to become a "financial holding
company," provided that all of the depository institution subsidiaries of the
bank holding company are "well capitalized" and "well managed" under applicable
regulatory standards.

Under the GLB Act, a bank holding company that has elected to become a financial
holding company may affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and
engage in other activities that are financial in nature. Activities that are
"financial in nature" include securities underwriting, dealing and
market-making, sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies, insurance
underwriting and agency, merchant banking, and activities that the Federal
Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. No Federal
Reserve Board approval is required for the Company to acquire a company, other
than a bank holding company, bank or savings association, engaged in activities
that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in
nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board. Prior Federal Reserve Board
approval is required before the Company may acquire the beneficial ownership or
control of more than 5% of the voting shares, or substantially all of the
assets, of a bank holding company, bank or savings association. If any
subsidiary bank of the Company ceases to be "well capitalized" or "well managed"
under applicable regulatory standards, the Federal Reserve Board may, among
other actions, order the Company to divest the subsidiary bank. Alternatively,
the Company may elect to conform its activities to those permissible for a bank
holding company that is not also a financial holding company. If any subsidiary
bank of the Company receives a rating under the Community Reinvestment Act of
1977 of less than satisfactory, the Company will be prohibited from engaging in
new activities or acquiring companies other than bank holding companies, banks
or savings associations. The Company has not elected to become a financial
holding company and has no current intention of making such an election.

Affiliate Transactions

Various governmental requirements, including Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal
Reserve Act, limit borrowings by holding companies and non-bank subsidiaries
from affiliated insured depository institutions, and also limit various other
transactions between holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries, on the
one hand, and their affiliated insured depository institutions on the other.
Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act also generally requires that an insured
depository institution's loan to its non-bank affiliates be secured, and Section
23B of the Federal Reserve Act generally requires that an insured depository
institution's transactions with its non-bank affiliates be on arms-length terms.

                                       6
<PAGE>

Interstate Banking and Branching

Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act
("Riegle-Neal"), subject to certain concentration limits and other requirements,
bank holding companies such as the Company are permitted to acquire banks and
bank holding companies located in any state. Any bank that is a subsidiary of a
bank holding company is permitted to receive deposits, renew time deposits,
close loans, service loans and receive loan payments as an agent for any other
bank subsidiary of that bank holding company. Banks are permitted to acquire
branch offices outside their home states by merging with out-of-state banks,
purchasing branches in other states and establishing de novo branch offices in
other states. The ability of banks to acquire branch offices is contingent,
however, on the host state having adopted legislation "opting in" to those
provisions of Riegle-Neal. In addition, the ability of a bank to merge with a
bank located in another state is contingent on the host state not having adopted
legislation "opting out" of that provision of Riegle-Neal. The Company could
from time to time use Riegle-Neal to acquire banks in additional states.

Control Acquisitions

The Change in Bank Control Act prohibits a person or group of persons from
acquiring "control" of a bank holding company, unless the Federal Reserve Board
has been notified and has not objected to the transaction. Under the rebuttable
presumption established by the Federal Reserve Board, the acquisition of 10% or
more of a class of voting stock of a bank holding company with a class of
securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such as the Company,
would, under the circumstances set forth in the presumption, constitute
acquisition of control of the bank holding company. In addition, a company is
required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank
Holding Company Act before acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquiror that is
a bank holding company) or more of any class of outstanding voting stock of a
bank holding company, or otherwise obtaining control or a "controlling
influence" over that bank holding company.

Liability for Banking Subsidiaries

Under the current Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is
expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to each of its
subsidiary banks and to maintain resources adequate to support each subsidiary
bank. This support may be required at times when the bank holding company may
not have the resources to provide it. In the event of a bank holding company's
bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a U.S. federal bank
regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank would be assumed
by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to priority of payment. Any depository
institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for any loss incurred, or
reasonably expected to be incurred, by the FDIC in connection with (1) the
"default" of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution; or (2)
any assistance provided by the FDIC to both a commonly controlled FDIC-insured
depository institution "in danger of default." The Company's subsidiary bank is
an FDIC-insured depository institution. If a default occurred with respect to
the Bank, any capital loans to the Bank from its parent holding company would be
subordinate in right of payment to payment of the Bank's depositors and certain
of its other obligations.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company is required by the various regulatory authorities to maintain
certain capital levels. Bank holding companies are required to maintain minimum
levels of capital in accordance with

                                       7
<PAGE>

Federal Reserve capital adequacy guidelines. If capital falls below minimum
guideline levels, a bank holding company, among other things, may be denied
approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses. The
required capital levels and the Company's capital position at December 31, 2004
are summarized in the table included in Note 14 to the consolidated financial
statements.

FDICIA

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"),
and the regulations promulgated under FDICIA, among other things, established
five capital categories for insured depository institutions-well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and
critically undercapitalized-and requires U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies
to implement systems for "prompt corrective action" for insured depository
institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements based on these
categories. Unless a bank is well capitalized, it is subject to restrictions on
its ability to offer brokered deposits and on certain other aspects of its
operations. An undercapitalized bank must develop a capital restoration plan and
its parent bank holding company must guarantee the bank's compliance with the
plan up to the lesser of 5% of the banks or thrift's assets at the time it
became undercapitalized and the amount needed to comply with the plan. As of
December 31, 2004, the Company's banking subsidiary was well capitalized
pursuant to these prompt corrective action guidelines.

Dividend Restrictions

The ability of the Company to obtain funds for the payment of dividends and for
other cash requirements will be largely dependent on the amount of dividends
which may be declared by its banking subsidiary. Various U.S. federal statutory
provisions limit the amount of dividends the Company's banking subsidiaries can
pay to the Company without regulatory approval. Dividend payments by the Bank
are limited to its retained earnings during the current year and its prior two
years.

The ability of the Company's banking subsidiary to pay dividends in the future
is currently, and could be further, influenced by bank regulatory policies and
capital guidelines. As of June 2004, all dividends were required to be approved
by federal and state regulatory agencies prior to declaration, which
pre-approval requirements will continue into 2005.

Deposit Insurance Assessments

The deposits of the Company's banking subsidiary are insured up to regulatory
limits by the FDIC, and, accordingly, are subject to deposit insurance
assessments to maintain the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") and/or the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") administered by the FDIC.

Depositor Preference Statute

In the "liquidation or other resolution" of an institution by any receiver, U.S.
federal legislation provides that deposits and certain claims for administrative
expenses and employee compensation against the insured depository institution
would be afforded a priority over general unsecured claims against that
institution, including federal funds and letters of credit.


                                        8
<PAGE>

Government Monetary Policy

The earnings of the Company are affected primarily by general economic
conditions, and to a lesser extent by the fiscal and monetary policies of the
federal government and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve. Its
policies influence, to some degree, the volume of bank loans and deposits, and
interest rates charged and paid thereon, and thus have an effect on the earnings
of the Company's subsidiary Bank.

Additional Regulation

The Bank is also subject to federal regulation as to such matters as required
reserves, limitation as to the nature and amount of its loans and investments,
regulatory approval of any merger or consolidation, issuance or retirement of
their own securities, limitations upon the payment of dividends and other
aspects of banking operations. In addition, the activities and operations of the
Bank are subject to a number of additional detailed, complex and sometimes
overlapping laws and regulations. These include state usury and consumer credit
laws, state laws relating to fiduciaries, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act and
Regulation Z, the Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B, the
Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Community Reinvestment
Act, anti-redlining legislation and antitrust laws.

Future Legislation

Changes to the laws and regulations, both at the federal and state levels, can
affect the operating environment of the Company and its subsidiary in
substantial and unpredictable ways. The Company cannot accurately predict
whether those changes in laws and regulations will occur, and, if those changes
occur, the ultimate effect they would have upon the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company or its subsidiary.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Our common stock is not quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotations System (NASDAQ) or any other market or exchange.

Our common stock is traded in the principal market area of Fulton, Williams, and
Henry Counties, Ohio. We had no broker that set a price for our stock;
therefore, the only source as to the high and low sale price was from private
sales of which we have been made aware. The high and low sale prices known to
our management are as follows:

The Bank acted as transfer agent for the Company's common stock until December
17, 2004. After December 17, 2004 the Company utilizes Register and Transfer as
its transfer agent.

As of February 19, 2005, there were 1999 record holders of our common stock.

We pay dividends quarterly. Per share dividends for the years ended 2004 and
2003 are as follows:

<TABLE>

2003    $       .40    $       .40     $      5.40     $      .55     $   6.75
</TABLE>

The ability of the Company to pay dividends is limited by the dividend that the
Company receives from the Bank. The Bank may pay as dividends to the Company its
retained earnings during the current year and its prior two years. Currently,
such limitation on the payment of dividends from the Bank to the Company does
not materially restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends to its
shareholders. As of June 2004, all dividends were required to be approved by
federal and state regulatory agencies prior to declaration. Regulatory approval
prior to declaration will continue into 2005.

The Company did not repurchase any of its shares during the fourth quarter of
2004.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

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 and accompanying notes. 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.

All significant accounting policies followed by the Company are presented in
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. These policies, along with the
disclosures presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and
in the management discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are
valued and how those values are determined for the financial statements. 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 could be the most 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. The collection and ultimate recovery of the book
value of the collateral, in most cases, is beyond our control.

The Company is also required to estimate the value of its Mortgage Servicing
Rights. The Company recognizes as separate assets rights to service fixed rate
single-family mortgage loans that it has sold without recourse but services for
others for a fee. Mortgage servicing assets are initially recorded at cost,
based upon pricing multiples as determined by the purchaser, when the loans are
sold. Mortgage servicing assets are carried at the lower of the initial carrying
value, adjusted for amortization, or estimated fair value. Amortization is
determined in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing
income using the level yield method. For purposes of determining impairment, the
mortgage servicing assets are stratified by interest rate.

The expected and actual rates of mortgage loan prepayments are the most
significant factors driving the potential for the impairment of the value of
mortgage servicing assets. Increases in mortgage loan prepayments reduce
estimated future net servicing cash flows because the life of the underlying
loan is reduced. For the years presented, mortgage servicing assets and related
amortization were not material.

                                       13
<PAGE>

For more information regarding the estimates and calculations used to establish
the ALLL and the value of Mortgage Servicing Rights, please see Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements provided herewith.

Results Of Operations

With slight improvement in the local economies, Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc
improved its profitability during 2004. The increased net income was achieved by
a much improved asset quality position. Loan Loss Provision of $6.90 million for
2003 decreased to $0.88 million for 2004. Nonaccrual loans decreased during 2004
along with a significant improvement in accruing loans past due 90 days or more,
decreasing by $1.649 million.

The focus on asset quality and the improvement thereof did not come without
additional cost. The addition of a Chief Loan Administrator, Commercial Loan
Documentation Department and increased staffing among many existing departments
contributed to the increase of approximately $1 million of operating expenses
during 2004. The Company experienced negative growth in loans and assets due to
the focus on asset quality. The loan portfolio decreased $8.2 million and total
assets decreased $3.2 million by year end 2004.

Rates began to increase in the second half of 2004. Gains in the net interest
margin from 2003 and first half of 2004 began to erode with the first rate
increase in June of 2004. The net interest margin for 2004 ended at 3.97%
compared to 3.95% for 2003. However, the net interest margin for the Bank for
the month of December 2003 was 4.14% compared to 3.89% for the month of December
2004. The Bank faces the challenge of operating within an environment predicted
to have rising rates that will continue to place pressure on the net interest
margin. The Bank looks for new growth in loans to aid in easing the tightening
of the margin.

Overall, the Company had an increase in net income compared to the previous year
of $604 thousand resulting in an increase in Earnings per Share of $0.46. The
local economy appears to be cautiously optimistic heading into 2005. The Company
seeks to maintain its improved asset quality position while focusing on growth
opportunities.

Net Interest Income

The following tables present net interest income, interest spread and net
interest margin for the three years 2002 through 2004, comparing average
outstanding balances of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities with the
associated interest income and expense. The table also shows their corresponding
average rates of interest earned and paid. The tax-exempt asset yields have been
tax affected to reflect a marginal corporate tax rate of 34%. Average
outstanding loan balances include nonperforming loans and mortgage loans held
for sale. Average outstanding security balances are computed based on carrying
values including unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

As the tables indicate, the Company experienced increased growth on an average
basis for year 2003 compared to 2002, but lost a portion of that growth when
comparing 2004 to 2003. The largest decrease in average balances compared to
2003 was in loans. The net interest margin and spread both improved led by the
decreased cost of funds or interest expense yield. The interest

                                       14
<PAGE>

income yield also decreased but not as much as the interest expense. The net
interest margin and spread in 2004 are the highest of the three years shown. The
average balances of interest-bearing liabilities decreased in 2004 compared to
2003 with the exception of fed funds purchased and securities sold under
agreement to repurchase. Customers moved money to higher earning instruments as
rates began to increase in the second half of 2004. Due to the decrease in
loans, the Bank did not price deposits as aggressively as competitors and the
average balance decline reflects that pricing strategy.

The primary source of the Company's traditional banking revenue is net interest
income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on
interest earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on
liabilities used to fund those assets, such as interest bearing deposits and
other borrowings. Net interest income is affected by changes in both interest
rates and the amount and composition of earnings assets and liabilities. The
change in net interest income is most often measured as a result of two
statistics - interest spread and net interest margin. The difference between the
yields on earning assets and the rates paid for interest bearing liabilities
supporting those funds represents the interest spread. Because non-interest
bearing sources of funds such as demand deposits and stockholders' equity also
support earning assets, the net interest margin exceeds the interest spread.

The following tables show changes in interest income, interest expense and net
interest resulting from changes in volume and rate variances for major
categories of earnings assets and interest bearing liabilities.

Interest income on loans decreased $2.5 million for 2004 and $1.1 million for
2003. The decrease for 2004 and 2003 was primarily due to a drop in interest
rates. This drop was offset by the significant decrease in interest expense on
other time deposits of $2.6 million for 2004 and $4.2 million for 2003. The
interest rate on the matured long term time deposits during the first half of
2004 was often 3% - 4% higher than what the money was able to be reinvested at
due to the lower interest rate environment. As rates began to rise the second
half of 2004 and shorter term time deposits reinvested at higher rates, the
savings on interest expense declined or disappeared completely.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company segregated its Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL) into two
reserves at the period ending December 31, 2004: The ALLL and the Allowance for
Unfunded Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit (AULC). When combined, these
reserves constitute the total Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL). The portion of
2003 and 2002 ACL attributable to AULC was $402 and $334 thousand respectively.

The Company increased the allowance for credit losses for 2004. The allowance
stands at $7.5 million for 2004 compared to $7.3 million for 2003. The Bank has
worked hard to improve loan quality while making credit available to all of
those who are in need and deemed an acceptable credit risk. This increase was
due to the continued concern of the slow pickup of the economy and its effect on
our customers going forward. Charge-off activity of $1.8 million was extremely
low for 2004 compared to $7.3 and $4.2 million for 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The allowance for credit loss activity resulted in expense of $0.9, $6.9 and
$2.2 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. One large credit has
impacted two of the last three years of activity and the Company is no longer
carrying a balance on that credit. The Company expects to see the lower level of
2004 charge-offs in future years.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income of $4.8 million is a decrease of $3.2 million over 2003.
Non-interest income for 2003 of $8.0 million is the highest of the three years
shown. 2003 experienced a dramatic rise due to an increase in fixed rate
mortgage loan activity as a result of the favorable interest rates for such
loans. These types of loans are sold to investors while the Bank retains the
mortgage servicing rights on these loans. As a result, mortgage servicing rights
income was $1.1 million for 2003. Mortgage rates were higher in 2002 and 2004 so
the level of mortgage activity was slower. With more favorable interest rates
during 2003, the mortgage activity was brisk compared to 2004. Sold mortgage
originations dropped to $48.8 million for 2004 from the $179.1 million produced
in 2003. Along with the mortgage servicing rights income, gains on the sale of
those loans increased in 2003. The recognition of both income sources due to the
mortgage activity was $0.9 million in 2004 compared to $3.3 and $1.6 million for
2003 and 2002, respectively.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense has increased during the last three years, growing from
$17.7 million in 2002 to $18.9 million in 2004. The largest increase occurred in
2004 as compared to 2003. Personnel costs were the major component behind the
increase. Additional staffing compiled with increased benefits costs added up to
an additional $1.0 million of expense. The additional staff will remain and the
Bank feels it is now adequately staffed for future growth. Increased costs of
other general and administrative expense totaling $520 thousand over 2003 was
mainly due to the added expense of complying with regulatory issues such as
Sarbanes Oxley (increased audit costs) and in the payment of FDIC assessments.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Effective tax rates were 30.27%, 24.38%, and 28.78% for 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The Company has increased its tax-exempt holdings each year and
also added Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) in the last quarter of 2002.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Average earning assets decreased during 2004. Average earnings assets for 2004
were $674 million compared to $679 million for 2003 and $656 million for 2002.
This decrease in average earnings assets represent a less than 1.0 percent
change while 2003 increased 3.5 percent. The decrease in 2004 is attributed to
the decrease in loans caused by the focus on asset quality improvement rather
than growth. Average interest bearing liabilities also decreased by $9.9 million
in 2004, negating much of the gain of $13.0 million in 2003. 2004 is only
slightly higher than 2002 by $3.0 million.

investment security, except for U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government
agencies. The Bank also holds stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati
at a cost of $3.6 million. This is required in order to obtain Federal Home Loan
Bank Loans.

As of December 31, 2004, management, to the best of their knowledge, is not
aware of any significant loans, group of loans or segments of the loan portfolio
not included above, where there are serious doubts as to the ability of the
borrowers to comply with the present loan payment terms.

Although loans may be classified as non-performing, some pay on a regular basis,
many continue to pay interest irregularly or at less than original contractual
rates. Interest income that would have been recorded under the original terms of
these loans was $1.5 million for 2002 and $530 thousand for 2003 and $561
thousand for 2004. Any collections of interest on non-accrual loans are included
in interest income when collected. This amounted to $279 for 2004, $346 for
2003, $195 thousand for 2002.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status in the event that the loan is in past due
status for more than 90 days or payment in full of principle and interest is not
expected.

The $6.1 million of non-accrual loans as of December 31, 2004 are secured.

At December 31, 2004 the Bank has $26.8 million of loans which it considers to
be potential problem loans in that the borrowers are experiencing financial
difficulties. These loans are subject to constant management attention and are
reviewed more frequently than quarterly.

The amount of the potential problem loans was considered in management's review
of the loan loss reserve required at December 31, 2004.

In extending credit to families, businesses and governments, banks accept a
measure of risk against which an allowance for possible loan loss is established
by way of expense charges to earnings. This expense, used to enlarge a bank's
allowance for loan losses, is determined by management based on a detailed
monthly review of the risk factors affecting the loan portfolio, including
general economic conditions, changes in the portfolio mix, past due loan-loss
experience and the financial condition of the bank's borrowers.

At December 31, 2004, the Bank had loans outstanding to individuals and firms
engaged in the various fields of agriculture in the amount of $55 million. The
ratio of this segment of loans to the total loan portfolio is not considered
unusual for a bank engaged in and servicing rural communities.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated based on an assessment of the losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. This assessment results in an allowance
consisting of two components, allocated and unallocated.

Management considers several different risk assessments in determining the
allowance for loan losses. The allocated component of the allowance for loan
losses reflects expected losses resulting from an analysis of individual loans,
developed through specific credit allocations for individual loans and
historical loss experience for each loan category. For those loans where the
internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification and
management can reasonably estimate the loss that will be sustained based upon
collateral, the borrowers operating activity and economic conditions in which
the borrower operates, a specific allocation is made. For those borrowers that
are not currently behind in their payment, but for which management believes
based on economic conditions and operating activities of the borrower, the
possibility exists for future collection problems, a reserve is established. The
amount of reserve allocated to each loan portfolio is based on past loss
experiences and the different levels of risk within each loan portfolio. The
historical loan loss portion is determined using a historical loss analysis by
loan category.

The unallocated portion of the reserve for loan losses is determined based on
management's assessment of general economic conditions as well as specific
economic factors in the Bank's marketing area. This assessment inherently
involves a higher degree of uncertainty. It represents estimated inherent but
undetected losses within the portfolio that are probable due to uncertainties in
economic conditions, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable
information about a borrower's financial condition and other current risk
factors that may not have yet manifested themselves in the Bank's historical
loss factors used to determine the allocated component of the allowance.

Actual charge-off of loan balances is based upon periodic evaluations of the
loan portfolio by management. These evaluations consider several factors,
including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, financial condition
of the borrower, and collateral.

As presented below, charge-offs decreased to $1.8 million for 2004, and the
provision was $884 thousand. Both of these amounts are down significantly over
prior years. Credit losses in the consumer loan portfolio decreased over 45%
from 2003 with the portfolio down 14%. The decrease was primarily the result of
a few large commercial credits included in the $5.7 charged off in the
commercial and agricultural segment in 2003. The Commercial and Agricultural
segment is in a net recovery position for 2004.

Liquidity

Maintaining sufficient funds to meet depositor and borrower needs on a daily
basis continues to be among our management's top priorities. This is
accomplished not only by the immediately liquid resources of cash, due from
banks and federal funds sold, but also by the Bank's available for sale
securities portfolio. The average aggregate balance of these assets was $196
million during 2003 compared to $198 million for 2004 representing 27 percent
and 28 percent of total average assets, respectively. Of the almost $168 million
of debt securities in the portfolio as of December 31, 2004, $17.9 million or 11
percent of the portfolio is expected to mature in 2004. Taking into
consideration possible calls of the debt securities, the amount climbs to $40.2
million or 24.0 percent of the portfolio becomes a source of funds.

Historically, the primary source of liquidity has been core deposits that
include non-interest bearing demand deposits, NOW, money market accounts and
time deposits of individuals. Core deposits decreased in 2004 pushed by the move
of customers seeking higher rates. Overall deposits decreased an average of
$10.2 million over 2003 compared to 2003's increase over 2002 of $8.4 million in
average deposits. These represent changes of (1.8) percent and 1.5 percent in
average total deposits, respectively.

                                       26
<PAGE>

Again, historically, the primary use of new funds is placing the funds back into
the community through loans for the acquisition of new homes, consumer products
and for business development. The use of new funds for loans is measured by the
loan to deposit ratio. The Company's loan to deposit ratio for 2004 was 82.23
percent, 2003 was 83.53 percent, 2002 was 86.32 percent. A decrease in 2003 was
caused by the selling of mortgages to the secondary market, the charge off
activity and the general slowing of loan demand. The decrease in 2004 is due to
the lack of growth in both the credit and deposit portfolios.

Short-term debt such as federal funds purchased and securities sold under
agreement to repurchase also provides the Company with liquidity. Short-term
debt for both federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to
repurchase amounted to $22.9 million at the end of 2004 compared to $27.3
million at December 31, 2003 and $38.2 million at the end of 2002.

Other borrowings are also a source of funds. Other borrowings consist of loans
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. These funds are then used to
provide fixed rate mortgage loans secured by homes in our community. Borrowings
from this source decreased by $2.4 million to $22.0 million at December 31,
2004. This compares to decreased borrowings during 2003 of $4.3 to $24.4 million
at December 31, 2003, and increased borrowings during 2002 to end the year 2002
at $28.7 million.

Contractual Obligations

Contractual Obligations of the Company totaled $358.4 million as of December
31,2004. Time deposits represent contractual agreements for certificates of
deposits held by its customers. Long term debts represents the borrowings with
the Federal Home Loan Bank and are further defined in Note 4 and 9 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capital Resources

Shareholders' equity was $78.8 million as of December 31, 2004 compared to $74.9
million at December 31, 2003. Dividends declared during 2004 were $1.90 per
share totaling $2.47 million. The Company reduced capital slightly by an
increased dividend payout during 2003, specifically with a one-time additional
dividend of $5 per share, for an aggregate of $8.78 million. The Company
continues to have a strong capital base and to maintain regulatory capital
ratios that are significantly above the defined regulatory capital ratios.

As of December 31, 2004, The Farmers & Merchants State Bank and Farmers &
Merchants Bancorp, Inc had total risk-based capital ratios of 16.75% and 16.88%,
respectively. Core capital to risk-based asset ratios of 12.52% and 15.62% are
well in excess of regulatory guidelines.

                                       27

The Bank's leverage ratio of 9.0% is also substantially in excess of regulatory
guidelines as is the Company's at 11.2%.

The Company's subsidiaries are restricted by regulations from making dividend
distributions in excess of certain prescribed amounts.

Impact Of Inflation And Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing
power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected
in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial
companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in
nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's
performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the
prices of goods and services.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE 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 we are subject is interest rate
risk. The majority of our interest rate risk arises from the instruments,
positions and transactions entered into for 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. 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. In the
event that our asset/liabilities management strategies are unsuccessful, our
profitability may be adversely affected.

Asset/Liability Management

The primary functions of asset/liability management are to assure adequate
liquidity and maintain an appropriate balance between interest earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities. It involves the management of the balance
sheet mix, maturities, repricing characteristics and pricing components to
provide an adequate and stable net interest margin with an acceptable level of
risk. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net
interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of net interest income through
periods of changing interest rates.

Changes in net income, other than those related to volume arise when interest
rates on assets reprice in a time frame or interest rate environment that is
different from that of the repricing period for liabilities. Changes in net
interest income also arise from changes in the mix of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities.

                                       28
<PAGE>

Historically, the Bank has maintained liquidity through cash flows generated in
the normal course of business, loan repayments, maturing earning assets, the
acquisition of new deposits, and borrowings. The Bank's asset and liability
management program is designed to maximize net interest income over the long
term while taking into consideration both credit and interest rate risk.

Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest-earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities. Overnight federal funds on which rates change
daily and loans that are tied to the market rate differ considerably from
long-term investment securities and fixed rate loans. Similarly, time deposits
over $100,000 and money market certificates are much more interest rate
sensitive than passbook savings accounts. The Bank utilizes shock analysis to
examine the amount of exposure an instant rate change of 100, 200, and 300 basis
points in both increasing and decreasing directions would have on the
financials. Acceptable ranges of earnings and equity at risk are established and
decisions are made to maintain those levels based on the shock results.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

The Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) through its bank subsidiary,
The Farmers & Merchants State Bank provide a variety of financial services to
individuals and small businesses through its offices in Northwest Ohio.

Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmers &
Merchants Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Farmers &
Merchants State Bank (the Bank), a commercial banking institution, and the
Farmers & Merchants Life Insurance Company, a reinsurance company for life,
accident and health insurance for the Bank's consumer credits. All significant
inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the new term relate to the determination of
the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on
estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the
economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination
of the estimated losses on loans, management obtains independent appraisals for
significant collateral.

The Bank's loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including
real property, consumer assets, and business assets. Although the Bank has a
diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to
honor their contracts is dependent on local economic conditions in the
agricultural industry.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans,
further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans may be necessary based on
changes in local economic conditions. In addition regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated
losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional
losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time
of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that
the estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term. However,
the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents. This includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks,
and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one
day periods.

Securities

Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. Securities
available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
reported in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses on


                                       37
<PAGE>

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

securities available for sale are included in other income (expense) and, when
applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment, net of tax, in other
comprehensive income. Gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on
the specific-identification method.

Declines in the fair value of held to maturity and available-for-sale securities
below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in
earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment
losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the
fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term
prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to
retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for
any anticipated recovery in fair value. The related write-downs are included in
earnings as realized losses.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Federal Home Loan Bank stock is recorded at cost since it is not actively
traded. The Federal Home Loan Bank sells and purchases its stock at par;
therefore cost approximates market value. The stock is held as collateral
security for all indebtedness of the Bank to the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at the amount of unpaid
principal, reduced by unearned discounts and deferred loan fees and costs, as
well as, by the allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on a daily
basis based on the principal outstanding.

Generally, a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the accrual of interest income
is generally discontinued when a loan becomes ninety days past due as to
principal or interest and these loans are placed on a "cash basis" for purposes
of income recognition. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest
when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the
principal and accrued interest, and the loan is in the process of collection.
When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all previously accrued and unpaid
interest receivable is charged against income.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs
are deferred and amortized as a net adjustment to the related loan's yield. The
Bank is generally amortizing these costs over the contractual life of such
loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to income. Loans deemed to be uncollectable and changes in the allowance
relating to impaired loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses,
and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and
is based on management's periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in
light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated
value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This
evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The
specific components relate to loans that are classified as either doubtful,
substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as
impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or
collateral value or observable market

                                       38
<PAGE>

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

price) of the impaired loan is lower that the carrying value of that loan. The
general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss
experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The unallocated component is
maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of
probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin
of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies
for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of
principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include
payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled
principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant
payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls
on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances
surrounding the loan and the borrower, including length of the delay, the
reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of
the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is
measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if
the loan is collateral dependent.

Large groups of homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.
Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer loans for
impairment disclosures.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at
the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized
losses, if any, are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Servicing Assets

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 income in
proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income
of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated for
impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized
cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights by predominant
characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Fair value is determined
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.

Off Balance Sheet Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to
extend credit, including commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial
letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are
recorded when they are funded.

                                       39

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Bank Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of
the various properties and is computed using straight line and accelerated
methods. Costs for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in current operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB Statement No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments",
requires disclosure of the fair value information about financial instruments,
both assets and liabilities, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for
which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value
or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by
assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of cash flows. In
that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by
comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in
immediate settlement of the instrument. FASB Statement No. 107 excludes certain
financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure
requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not
represent the underlying value of the Company.

Federal Income Tax

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability
(or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or
liability is determined based on the tax effects of the various temporary
differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets
and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders
divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. The Company has no dilutive shares.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains
and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities,
such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are
reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet.
Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects are as
follows:

Unrealized losses on securities have not bee n recognized into income because
the issuers' bonds are of high credit quality, the Bank has the intent and
ability to hold the securities for the foreseeable future, and the decline in
fair value is primarily due to increased market interest rates. The fair value
is expected to recover as the bonds approach the maturity date.

NOTE 6 - SERVICING

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of loans serviced for others were
$244.0 and $242.0 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The balance of capitalized servicing rights included in other assets at December
31, 2004 and 2003, was $1.5 and $1.4 million, respectively. The Capitalized
addition of servicing rights is included in net gain on sale of loans on the
consolidated statement of income. The capitalized additions are as shown in the
table following.

The fair market value of the capitalized servicing rights as of December 31,
2004, 2003 and 2002 was $2.1, $2.0 and $1.9 million, respectively. The
valuations were calculated using a present value calculation on the discounted
cash flows of each individual capitalized servicing right. The discount rate
utilized was the average internal rate of return of the portfolio, 5.8%, 5.9%
and 6.5%, respectively. The stated fair value represents the present value over
an 84 month time frame.

NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Bank has established a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which allows eligible
employees to save at a minimum one percent of eligible compensation on a pre-tax
basis, subject to certain Internal Revenue Service limitations. The Bank will
match 50% of employee 401(k) contributions up to four percent of total eligible
compensation. In addition, the Bank may make a discretionary contribution from
time to time. A participant is 100% vested in the participant's deferral
contributions and employer matching contributions. A six-year vesting schedule
applies to employer discretionary contributions. Contributions to the 401(k)
profit sharing plan for both the employer matching contribution and the
discretionary contribution were $546, $505, and $509 thousand for 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively.

NOTE 12 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has granted loans to senior
officers and directors and their affiliated companies amounting to $20.3 and
$16.5 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Loans made during
2004 were $160.1 million and repayments were $158.4 million. During 2004, one
director retired from the Board and one director was added. Their difference in
related borrowings amounted to $2.1 million, net additions.

Deposits to directors, executive officers and companies in which they have a
direct or indirect ownership as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $17.3
million and $6.2 million, respectively.

NOTE 13 - OFF BALANCE SHEET ACTIVITIES

Credit Related Financial Instruments

The Bank is a party to credit related financial instruments with
off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing
need of its customer. These financial instruments include commitments to extend
credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit. Such
commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of
these commitments. The Bank follows the same credit policies in making
commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. At year end 2004 the
Bank segregated the Allowance for Loan Losses into two components. The allowance
as it relates to unfunded loan commitments (AULC) is included under other
liabilities. The AULC as of December 31, 2004 was $686 thousand. At December 31,
2004 and 2003, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose
contract amounts represent credit risk:

Standby letters of credit               1,950            1,762
</TABLE>

Commitments to extend credit, credit card arrangements and standby letters of
credit all include exposure to some credit loss in the event of nonperformance
of the customer. The Bank's credit policies and procedures for credit
commitments and financial guarantees are the same as those for extensions of
credit that are recorded in the financial statements. Because these instruments
have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them expire without being drawn
upon, they generally do not present any significant liquidity risk to the Bank.

<PAGE>
Collateral Requirements

To reduce credit risk related to the use of credit-related financial
instruments, the Bank might deem it necessary to obtain collateral. The amount
and nature of the collateral obtained is based on the Bank's credit evaluation
of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include cash, securities,
accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment and real estate.

Legal Contingencies

Various legal claims also arise from time to time in the normal course of
business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 14 - MINIMUM REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and
possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
could have a direct material effect on the Company's and Bank's financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and
certain off balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and
other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank
holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of: total risk-based
capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the
regulations), and Tier I capital to adjusted total assets (as defined).
Management believes, as of December 31, 2004, that the Bank meets all the
capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2004 the most recent notification from the FDIC indicated the
Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To remain categorized as well capitalized, the Bank
will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I
leverage ratios as disclosed in the table below. There are no conditions or
events since the most recent notification that management believes have changed
the Bank's prompt corrective action category.

NOTE 15 - RESTRICTIONS OF DIVIDENDS AND INTERCOMPANY BORROWINGS

The Bank is restricted as to the amount of dividends that can be paid. Dividends
declared by the Bank that exceed the net income for the current year plus
retained income for the preceding two years must be approved by federal and
state regulatory agencies. Under this formula dividends of $5.4 million may be
paid without prior regulatory approval. Regardless of formal regulatory
restrictions, the Bank may not pay dividends that would result in its capital
levels being reduced below the minimum requirements shown above. As of June
2004, all dividends were required to be approved by federal and state regulatory
agencies prior to declaration. Regulatory approval prior to declaration will
continue into 2005. Under current Federal Reserve regulations, the Bank is
limited as to the amount and type of loans it may make to the Company and its
non-bank subsidiary. These loans are subject to qualifying collateral
requirements on which the amount of the loan may be based.

NOTE 16 - 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
estimates.

The following assumptions and methods were used in estimating the fair value for
financial instruments:

Cash and Due From Banks

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and due from banks
and federal funds sold approximate their fair values.

Interest Bearing Deposits

The carrying amounts of interest-bearing deposits maturing within ninety days
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 Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Fair values for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank stock, are based on
quoted market prices, 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.

NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)

Loans

Most commercial and real estate mortgage loans are made on a variable rate
basis. For those variable-rate loans that reprice 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.

Loans Held for Sale

Fair values for loan held for sale approximate the carrying values as these
loans are generally sold within forty-five days of being made.

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 flows 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. Long-term debt includes their related current
maturities.

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 counterparties' credit
standing.

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 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 utilizing interest
rate shocks to help in this analysis. The shocks presented below assume an
immediate change of rate in the percentages and direction shown:

ITEM 9. CHANGE IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

      (a)   On November 14, 2003, the audit committee of Farmers & Merchants
            Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation"), accepted the resignation of
            Krouse, Kern, and Company, Inc. (Krouse) as the Corporation's
            independent public accountants and appointed Plante & Moran, PLLC
            ("Plante & Moran") as its new independent public accountants for
            2003. A report of this event was made on Form 8-K by the Company on
            November 18, 2003.

      (b)   Krouse's report on the consolidated financial statements of the
            Corporation for fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 did not contain
            an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified
            or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

      During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, and the subsequent interim
      period through November 14, 2003, there were no disagreements between the
      Corporation and Krouse on any matter of accounting principles or
      practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
      which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Krouse, would
      have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement
      in connection with its reports. During the fiscal year ended December 31,
      2002, and the subsequent interim period through November 14, 2003, there
      were no reportable events as defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of SEC
      regulation S-K.

  (c) Krouse's report on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements
      for year ended December 31, 2002, dated January 10, 2003, was issued on an
      unqualified basis in conjunction with the filing of the Corporation's
      Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, filed on
      March 31, 2003.

  (d) During the Corporation's most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2002,
      and the subsequent interim period through November 14, 2003, the
      Corporation did not consult with Plante & Moran regarding any of the
      matters or events set forth in Item 304 (a) (2) (i) and (ii) of SEC
      regulation S-K.

   No disagreements exist on accounting and financial disclosures or related
   matters.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

   MANAGEMENTS DISCLOSURE OF INTERNAL CONTROLS & PROCEDURES

   The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
   participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief
   Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
   design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as
   of December 31, 2004, pursuant to Exchange Act 13a-15. Based upon that
   evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
   that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
   December 31, 2004, in timely alerting them to material information relating
   to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be
   included in the Company's periodic SEC filings.

                MANAGEMENT REPORT REGARDING INTERNAL CONTROL AND
                 COMPLIANCE WITH DESIGNATED LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Management of Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries is responsible
for preparing the Bank's annual financial statements. Management is also
responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial
reporting presented in conformity with both generally accepted accounting
principles and regulatory reporting in conformity with the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council Instructions for Consolidated Reports of
Condition and Income (call report instructions). The Bank's internal control
contains monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies
identified.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control,
including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of
controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further,
because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary
over time.

It is also management's responsibility to ensure satisfactory compliance with
all designated laws and regulations and in particular, those laws and
regulations concerning loans to insiders. The federal laws concerning loans to
insiders are codified at 12 USC 375a and 375b, and the federal regulations are
set forth at 12 CFR 23.5, 31, and 215.

Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the company carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management,
including the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2004. Based upon that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
December 31, 2004 in timely alerting them to material information relating to
the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in
the Company's periodic SEC filings.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, we
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control -
Intergrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2004.

Plante & Moran, PLLC, the independent registered public accounting firm that
audited the financial statements contained herein, has issued an attestation
report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004.

There was no change in the company's internal control over financial reporting
that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2004 that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.

             Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors
Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Archbold, Ohio

We have audited management's assessment included in the accompanying Report of
Management on Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries Internal
Control over Financial Reporting, that the Company maintained effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's
assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating
the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of

                                       62

<PAGE>

financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Because management's assessment and our audit were
conducted to also meet the reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporations Improvement Act (FDICIA), management's assessment
and our audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting
included controls over the preparation of financial statements in accordance
with the instructions to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding
Companies (Form FR Y-9). A company's internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management's assessment that Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc.
and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on
COSO criteria. Also in our opinion, Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. and
Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 based oh the COSO criteria.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United State), the Consolidated Balance Sheets of
Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and
2003 and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders equity
and cash flow for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2004
and our report dated February 22, 2004, expressed an unqualified opinion
thereon.

                                                        /s/ Plante & Moran, PLLC

The information called for under Rule 405 of Regulation S-K regarding compliance
with Section 16(a) is presented in the proxy statement to be furnished in
connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors
of the Registrant for use at its Annual Meeting to be held on April 23, 2005,
and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics (the "Code") at its meeting on February 13, 2004. While the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 mandates the adoption of a code of ethics for the
most senior executive officers of all public companies, the Code adopted by the
Corporation's Board of Directors is broader in the activities covered and
applies to all officers, directors and employees of the Corporation and the
Bank, including the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal
accounting officer and other senior officers performing accounting, auditing,
financial management or similar functions. The administration of the Code has
been delegated to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, a Committee
comprised entirely of "independent directors." The Board of Directors has
determined that Steven A. Everhart, Chairman of the Audit Committee, is a
"financial expert" as defined under the regulations promulgated under the
Sarbanes Oxley Act discussed above. The Code

                                       65

<PAGE>

addresses topics such as compliance with laws and regulations, honest and
ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, confidentiality and protection of
Corporation assets, fair dealing and accurate and timely periodic reports, and
also provides for enforcement mechanisms. The Board and management of the
Corporation intends to continue to monitor not only the developing legal
requirements in this area, but also the best practices of comparable companies,
to assure that the Corporation maintains sound corporate governance practices in
the future.

A copy of the Corporation's Code is available on the website of the Bank
(www.fm-bank.com). In addition, a copy of the Code is available to any
shareholder free of charge upon request. Shareholders desiring a copy of the
Code should address written requests to Mr. Joe E. Crossgrove, President, Chief
Executive Officer and Treasurer of Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc., 307-11
North Defiance Street, Archbold, Ohio 43502, and are asked to mark Code of
Business Conduct and Ethics on the outside of the envelope containing the
request.
