ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS  FOR  THE  THREE  MONTHS  ENDED
        MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997.

FMS Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") may from time to time make
written or oral "forward-looking statements", including statements contained
in the Corporation's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(including this quarterly report on form 10-Q and the exhibits thereto), in its
reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Corporation, which
are made in good faith by the Corporation pursuant to the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as
statements of the Corporation's plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and
intentions, that are subject to change based on various important factors (some
of which are beyond the Corporation's control).  The following factors, among
others, could cause the Corporation's financial performance to differ materially
from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in
such forward-looking statements: The strength of the United States economy in
general and the strength of the local economies in which the Corporation
conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal
policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the board of governors of
the federal reserve system, inflation, interest rate, market and monetary
fluctuations; the timely development of and acceptance of new products and
services of the Corporation and the perceived overall value of these products
and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to
competitors' products and services; the willingness of users to substitute
competitors' products and services for the Corporation's products and services;
the success of the Corporation in gaining regulatory approval of its products
and services, when required; the impact of changes in financial services' laws
and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and
insurance); technological changes, acquisitions; changes in consumer spending
and saving habits; and the success of the Corporation at managing the risks
involved in the foregoing.

The Corporation cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not
exclusive.  The Corporation does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on
behalf of the Corporation.


GENERAL
FMS Financial Corporation is the parent company of Farmers & Mechanics Bank 
("the Bank"), its only subsidiary.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements of FMS Financial Corporation  contain all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of FMS's financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity
for the periods and dates indicated.  The results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of  the operating
results for the full fiscal year.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions for FORM 10-Q, and therefore, do not include
all information and notes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
condition, results of operations and statements of cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

YEAR 2000
The Year 2000 issue concerns the potential impact of historic computer software
code that only utilizes two digits to represent the calendar year (e.g."98" for
"1998").Software so developed could produce inaccurate or unpredictable results
upon the change to January 1, 2000, when current and future dates represent a
lower two digit year number than dates in the prior century.The Bank, similar to
most financial institutions, is significantly subject to the potential impact of
the "Year 2000 issue" due to the nature of financial information. Potential
impact to the Bank may arise from software, hardware, and equipment both within
the Bank's direct control and outside of the Bank's ownership,yet with which the
Bank electronically or operationally interfaces (e.g. vendors providing credit
bureau information). The Bank has a year 2000 compliance program in place to
ensure that all software applications will be year 2000 certified compliant.
Management expects that it will be able to satisfy year 2000 compliance issues 
by the end of 1998. Management intends to perform testing on all systems
throughout 1998 and 1999. The Bank does not expect that the costs of its year 
2000 compliance program will be material to its financial condition or results 
of operations. Non-compliance with the year 2000 issue could have an adverse 
affect on the operations of the business.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1996,the FASB issued the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
125 (SFAS No. 125),  "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishment of Liabilites" for which certain provisions were applicable
January 1, 1997. This statement was amended by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 127 (SFAS No. 127) "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain
Provisions of FASB No. 125" which deferred the effective date of a portion of
SFAS No. 125 until January 1, 1998. The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 127 on
January 1, 1998.This statement provides new conditions that must be met in order
for a transaction to qualify for secured borrowing accounting treatment. The
Corporation's securities puchased under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase
agreements) continue to qualify as secured borrowing transactions under SFAS No.
125. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material effect on 
the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.130
(SFAS No. 130), "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which was effective for the
Corporation beginning January 1, 1998. This Statement establishes standards for
reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components (revenues,
expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general purpose financial
statements. This statement was adopted by the Corporation during the first
quarter of 1998 by including comprehensive income in the consolidated Statement
of Changes in Stockholders' Equity.The adoption of this statement did not have a
material effect on the financial position or results of operation of the
Corporation.

<PAGE>

EARNING PER SHARE
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128),"Earnings per
share" requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of 
the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and 
requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS 
computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. 
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to 
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding 
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if 
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted 
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared 
in the earnings of the entity.  Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully 
diluted EPS pursuant to Opinion 15. The Corporation has presented both basic and
diluted earnings per share as well as the reconciliation of the denominator in 
the consolidated statement of operations.

On April 28, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Corporation declared a three-
for-one stock split for shareholders of record on July 1, 1998 payable on July
14, 1998. The number of shares, stock options and per share amounts of the
Corporation's common stock were not retroactively adjusted as the ex-dividend
date is after the release of the financial statements. Basic and diluted
earnings per share would have been $.17 per share for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and $.19 per share and $.18 per share, respectively for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 had the amounts been retroactively adjusted for the
three-for-one stock split based on the current outstanding shares.

million at March 31, 1998 from $302.8 million at December 31, 1997.  This

At March 31, 1998, the recorded investment in loans for which impairment has
been recognized in accordance with SFAS Nos. 114 and 118 totaled $3.0 million of
which $1.5 million related to loans that were individually measured for
impairment with a valuation allowance of $363 thousand and $1.5 million of loans
that were collectively measured for impairment with a valuation allowance of $72
thousand.  For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the average recorded
investment in impaired loans was approximately $3.2 million. The Bank recognized
$24 thousand of interest income on impaired loans, all of which was recognized
on the cash basis. The Bank had $3.2 million in total reserves for possible loan
losses at March 31, 1998, representing approximately 107% of non-accrual loans
and 1% of total loans.

As of March 31, 1998 the Bank had outstanding loan commitments of $27.8 million,
of which $20.4 million represented variable rate loans and $7.4 million
represented fixed rate loans.  The Bank intends to fund these commitments
through scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities,
additional borrowings and if necessary the sale of investment securities
available for sale.

MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY - increased $868 thousand to $92.9
million at March 31, 1998 from $92.0 million at December 31, 1997.  The increase

securities at March 31, 1998 consisted of $67.7 million in fixed rate securities
and $25.2 million in adjustable rate securities. A comparison of cost and

REAL ESTATE HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT - remained stable at $644 thousand at March 31,
1998 compared to December 31, 1997.  The Bank has ceased making any new
investments in real estate held for development projects and has limited any
additional investments to those investments which are necessary to preserve and
protect the existing asset so that it may be liquidated as soon as practical.
Management believes that divestiture of its present land investment may take
several years, depending on market conditions. Management  will  continue to
monitor the net realizable value of its real estate investment.  At March 31,
1998, the Bank's investment in and advances to subsidiaries engaged in land
development was fully deducted from core, tangible, and risk-based capital.

REAL ESTATE OWNED - consisted of properties with a net book value of $511
thousand.  These properties are carried at the lower of book value or estimated
net realizable value (fair market value less estimated costs to sell) and are
analyzed by management on a periodic basis.  Real estate owned at March 31, 1998
is comprised of (i) two residential single family homes,  (ii) 18 acres of land
which is zoned for the construction of 109 townhouses and (iii) two residential
condominiums located in Burlington County.  The Bank is currently seeking buyers
for all of these properties.

ASSET CLASSIFICATIONS - are monitored by management on a regular basis.
Classified assets generally consist of assets which have possible credit risk
and/or have a sufficient degree of risk or potential weakness to warrant
management's close attention.  Total classified assets decreased $623 thousand
to $7.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 1998 resulting from a
decrease in one-to-four family of $620 thousand and commercial loans of $63
thousand, partially offset by an increase in real estate owned of $64 thousand.
 The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank's
classified assets at the dates indicated:

BORROWINGS - at March 31, 1998 amounted to $112.2 million.  Borrowings included
$10.0 million of 10% Subordinated Debentures, $80.0 million in securities sold
under the agreement to repurchase with a weighted average interest rate of
5.57%, $22.1 million in Federal Home Loan Bank Advances with a weighted average
interest rate of 5.99%, and $17 thousand in the guarantee of Employee Stock
Ownership Plan debt. At December 31, 1997 borrowings consisted of $10.0 million
of 10% Subordinated Debentures, $60.0 million in securities sold under the
agreement to repurchase with a weighted average interest rate of 5.72%, $24.5
million in Federal Home Loan Bank Advances with a weighted average interest rate
of 6.08% and $33 thousand in the guarantee of Employee Stock Ownership Plan
debt.

There are three (3) standards that a savings association must satisfy in order
to meet its capital requirements under ''FDICIA''.  The requirements include a
leverage ratio of tier 1 (core) capital to adjusted total assets of 4.0 percent,
a tangible capital standard requirement of 2.0 percent of total adjusted assets,
and a risk-based capital standard set at 8.0 percent of risk-weighted assets. If
a savings association is not in compliance with applicable capital standards,
the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) can restrict the association's asset
growth, require the submission of a capital plan, and require compliance with a
capital directive, which may include restrictions on the payment of dividends
and compensation, and other restrictions determined to be appropriate by the
OTS.  At March 31, 1998 the Bank exceeds all three current capital requirements
as the Bank's core, tangible, and risk-based capital ratios were 6.72%, 6.72%,
and 15.56%, respectively.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -
GENERAL

The earnings of the Bank depend primarily upon the level of net interest income,
which is the difference between interest earned on its interest-earning assets,
such as loans and investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is a function
of the interest rate spread (the difference between the weighted average yield
earned on interest-earning assets and the weighted average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities) as well as the average balance of interest
earning-assets as compared to interest-bearing liabilities. Net income is also
affected by the provisions for loan losses and real estate owned, non-interest
income, such as gains (losses) on sales of loans and investments, service
charges and other fees.  In addition to interest expense, the Bank incurs
operating expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, deposit insurance
premiums, depreciation, occupancy and equipment expense and purchased services
expense.

The Corporation recorded net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of
$1.2 million, or 51 cents diluted earnings per share as compared to $1.3
million, or 55 cents diluted earnings per share for the comparable period in
1997.

<PAGE>


INTEREST RATE SPREAD

The Bank's interest income is affected by the difference or "interest rate
spread" between yields received by the Bank on its interest-earning assets and
the interest rates paid by the Bank on its interest-bearing liabilities.  Net
interest income is affected by (i) the spread between the yield earned on
interest earning assets and the interest rates paid on interest-bearing savings
deposits and borrowings (liabilities), and (ii) the relative amounts of
interest-earning assets versus interest-bearing liabilities.  The Bank's
interest rate spread varies over time because money fund accounts and other
flexible rate accounts have become significant sources of savings deposits.
Income from investment securities and mortgage-backed securities depends upon
the amount invested during the period and the yields earned on such securities.
The yield on loans receivable changes principally as a result of existing
mortgage loan repayments, adjustable rate loan adjustments, sales and the
interest rates and volume of new mortgage loans.

The following table sets forth the Bank's weighted-average yields on its
interest-earning assets, weighted-average interest rates paid on its interest-
bearing liabilities and weighted-average interest rate spreads for the periods
indicated:

<PAGE>




NET INTEREST INCOME  - the increase in net interest income for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 of $523 thousand was primarily due to an increase in
interest income of  $1.7 million, partially offset by an increase in interest
expense of $1.2 million.

The increase in interest income was primarily the result of an increase in
interest income on investment securities of $2.0 million.  The average balance
of the investment portfolio increased $121.1 million to $221.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $100.2 million for the same period in
1997, which resulted in a volume increase in interest income of $2.0 million.
The average balance increase was due to the net purchases of  $56.9 million of
CMOs, $52.9 million of U.S. Agency notes and $11.4 million of reverse repurchase
agreements since March 31, 1997.  The average yield on the investment portfolio
decreased 5 basis points to 6.65% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
6.70% during the three months ended March 31, 1997, which resulted in a decrease
of $26 thousand in interest income due to rate changes.

The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in
interest expense on borrowings of $1.0 million.  The average balance of
borrowings increased $73.2 million to $101.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from $28.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
Securities sold under the agreement to repurchase (repurchase agreements)
increased $80.0 million.  The repurchase agreements have maturity dates ranging
from four to ten years with call dates ranging from thirty months to five years
and an average rate of 5.57%.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES - for the first quarter of 1998 was $60 thousand
compared to $30 thousand for the same period in 1997.  At March 31, 1998 the
allowance for possible loan losses amounted to $3.2 million or 1.05% of the
total loans compared to $2.8 million or .90% of the total loans at March 31,
1997. The determination of the allowance level for loan losses is based on
management's analysis of the risk characteristics of various classifications of
loans, previous loan loss experience, estimated fair value of the underlying
collateral and current economic conditions. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that future provisions for loans losses will not increase or be
necessary. Most of the Bank's lending activity is with customers located within
southern New Jersey. Generally, the loans are secured by real estate consisting
of single family residential properties. While this represents a concentration
of credit risk, the credit losses arising from this type of lending compare
favorably with the Bank's credit loss experience on its portfolio as a whole.
The ultimate repayment of these loans is dependent to a certain degree on the
local economy and real estate market.

REAL ESTATE OWNED OPERATIONS, NET - for the first quarter of 1998 totaled $27
thousand of expense as compared to $39 thousand of expense for the same period
in 1997.  The decrease is primarily the inclusion of a $15 thousand gain on the
sale of a property during the first quarter of 1998.

OPERATING EXPENSES  - for the first quarter of 1998 amounted to $3.9 million, as
compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 1997.

SALARIES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS - for the first quarter of 1998 were $2.3
million, as compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 1997.  The increase
was due to additional staff in the three new branches opened since the first
quarter of 1997 as well as an increase in branch staff for additional operating
hours, principally for extended weekday hours until 9:00 p.m. Average full time
equivalent employees for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were 323 as compared
to 239 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.
<PAGE>

OCCUPANCY AND EQUIPMENT - for the first quarter of 1998 amounted to $720
thousand, compared to $674 thousand for the same period of 1997. The increase is
the result of additional depreciation and occupation expenses on the three new
branches opened since the first quarter of 1997 as well as other facility
improvements and equipment additions between the quarters ended March 31, 1998
and March 31, 1997.

PURCHASED SERVICES - for the first quarter of 1998 amounted to $302 thousand,
compared to $233 thousand for the same period in 1997. MAC charges increased $22
thousand and check processing costs increased $19 thousand as a result of higher
transaction volume and an increase in the number of checking accounts.

FEDERAL INSURANCE PREMIUM - amounted to $73 thousand in the first quarter of
1998, as compared to $16 thousand for the same period in 1997.  The increase was
due to an assessment refund of $53 thousand during the first quarter of 1997 as

The Bank's liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, withdrawals of
deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost effective manner.  The Bank's
primary sources of funds are deposits and scheduled amortization and prepayments
of loan principal.  To a lesser extent, the Bank obtains funds from sales and
maturities of mortgage-backed securities, investment securities, and short-term
investments and borrowings. During the past several years, the Bank has used
such funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments to fund maturing time deposits
and saving withdrawals, fund existing and continuing loan commitments and to
maintain liquidity.  While loan payments, maturing investments and mortgage-
backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows
and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition. The Bank's liquidity is also influenced by the level
of demand for funding loan originations.

The Bank is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain specified
levels of "liquid assets", which include obligations of the United States
government and federal agencies and other approved investments.  Regulations
currently in effect require the Bank to maintain liquid assets of not less than
4% of its net withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings.  The Bank has
generally maintained liquidity in excess of required levels.  The Bank's
regulatory liquidity was 12.56% at March 31, 1998 and 11.46% at December 31,
1997.

ITEM 3: DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK
The Bank's financial performance is impacted by, among other factors, interest
rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk of loss in value due to changes in
interest rates. This risk is addressed by the Bank's Asset Liability Management
Committee ("ALCO"), which includes senior management. The ALCO monitors and
considers methods of managing interest rate risk by monitoring changes in the
interest rate repricing GAP, the net portfolio values ("NPV") and net interest
income under various interest rate scenarios. The ALCO attempts to manage the
various components of the Bank's balance sheet to minimize the impact of sudden
and sustained changes in interest rates through GAP, NPV and net interest income
scenarios. The Bank's exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on a periodic
basis by the Board of Directors and the ALCO. The principal objective of the
ALCO is to maximize income within acceptable levels as established by the risk
policy. The Board of Directors may direct management to adjust its asset and
liability mix to bring interest rate risk within Board approved limits. The Bank
has developed strategies to manage its liquidity, shorten the effective
maturities of certain interest-earning assets and increase the effective
maturities of certain liabilities, to reduce the exposure to interest rate
fluctuations. These strategies include focusing its investment activities on
short and medium-term securities, maintaining and increasing the transaction
deposit accounts, as these accounts are considered to be relatively resistant to
changes in interest rates and utilizing FHLB borrowings and deposit marketing
programs to adjust the term or repricing of its liabilities.
