PART I
Item 1. Business
General
F & M Bank Corp. (the Company or we), incorporated in Virginia in 1983, is a one-bank holding
company pursuant to section 3(a)(1) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, and owns 100% of the
outstanding stock of its two affiliates, Farmers & Merchants Bank (Bank) and TEB Life Insurance
Company (TEB). Farmers & Merchants Financial Services, Inc. (FMFS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Farmers & Merchants Bank.
Farmers & Merchants Bank was chartered on April 15, 1908, as a state chartered bank under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Virginia. TEB was incorporated on January 27, 1988, as a captive life
insurance company under the laws of the State of Arizona. FMFS is a Virginia chartered corporation
and was incorporated on February 25, 1993.
The Bank offers all services normally offered by a full-service commercial bank, including
commercial and individual demand and time deposit accounts, repurchase agreements for commercial
customers, commercial and individual loans, and drive-in banking services. TEB was organized to
re-insure credit life and accident and health insurance currently being sold by the Bank in
connection with its lending activities. FMFS was organized to write title insurance but now
provides brokerage and other financial services to customers of Farmers & Merchants Bank.
The Bank makes various types of commercial and consumer loans and has a heavy concentration of
residential and agricultural real estate loans. The local economy is relatively diverse with strong
employment in the agricultural, manufacturing, service and governmental sectors.
The Companys and the Banks principal executive office is at 205 South Main Street, Timberville,
VA 22853, and its phone number is (540) 896-8941.
Filings with the SEC
The Company files annual, quarterly and other reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These reports are posted and are available at
no cost on the Companys website, www.farmersandmerchants.biz, as soon as reasonably practicable
after the Company files such documents with the SEC. The Companys filings are also available
through the SECs website at www.sec.gov.
Employees
On December 31, 2007, F & M Bank Corp., the Bank, TEB and FMFS had 137 full-time and part-time
employees; including executive officers, loan and other banking officers, branch personnel,
operations personnel and other support personnel. None of the Companys employees is represented by
a union or covered under a collective bargaining agreement. Management of the Company considers
their employee relations to be excellent. No one employee devotes full-time services to F&M Bank
Corp.
Competition
The Banks offices face strong competition from numerous other financial institutions. These other
institutions include large national and regional banks, other community banks, nationally chartered
savings banks, credit unions, consumer finance companies, mortgage companies, loan production
offices, mutual funds and life insurance companies. Competition for loans and deposits is affected
by a variety of factors including interest rates, types of products offered, the number and
location of branch offices, marketing strategies and the reputation of the Bank within the
communities served.

Regulation and Supervision
General. The operations of F & M Bank Corp. and the Bank are subject to federal and state statutes,
which apply to state member banks of the Federal Reserve System.
The stock of F & M Bank Corp. is subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1934. F & M Bank Corp. is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. These include, but are not limited to, the filing of annual, quarterly and other
current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As an Exchange Act reporting company,
the Corporation is directly affected by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which is aimed at improving
corporate governance and reporting procedures. The Corporation is complying with new SEC and other
rules and regulations implemented pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley and intends to comply with any
applicable rules and regulations implemented in the future.
F & M Bank Corp., as a bank holding company, is subject to the provisions of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the Act). It is registered as such and is supervised by the
Federal Reserve Board. The Act requires F & M Bank Corp. to secure the prior approval of the
Federal Reserve Board before F & M Bank Corp. acquires ownership or control of more than 5% of the
voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any institution, including another bank.
As a bank holding company, F & M Bank Corp. is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board an
annual report and such additional information as it may require pursuant to the Act. The Federal
Reserve Board may also conduct examinations of F & M Bank Corp. and any or all of its subsidiaries.
Under Section 106 of the 1970 Amendments to the Act and the regulations of the Federal Reserve
Board, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements in connection with an extension of credit, provision of credit, sale or lease of
property or furnishing of services.
Federal Reserve Board regulations permit bank holding companies to engage in non-banking activities
closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks. These activities include the
making or servicing of loans, performing certain data processing services, and certain leasing and
insurance agency activities. Since 1994, the Company has entered into agreements with the Virginia
Community Development Corporation to purchase equity positions in the Housing Equity Fund of
Virginia II, III, IV, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, Historic Equity Fund I and Local & Historic Fund II.
These funds provide housing for low-income individuals throughout Virginia. Approval of the
Federal Reserve Board is necessary to engage in any of the activities described above or to acquire
interests engaging in these activities.
The Bank as a state member bank is supervised and regularly examined by the Virginia Bureau of
Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board. Such supervision and examination by the
Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board is intended primarily for
the protection of depositors and not for the stockholders of F & M Bank Corp.
Payment of Dividends. The Company is a legal entity, separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. A
significant portion of the revenues of the Company result from dividends paid to it by the Bank.
There are various legal limitations applicable to the payment of dividends by the Bank to the
Company, as well as the payment of dividends by the Company to its respective shareholders.
The Bank is subject to various statutory restrictions on its ability to pay dividends to the
Company. Under the current regulatory guidelines, prior approval from the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System is required if cash dividends declared in any given year exceed net income
for that year, plus retained net profits of the two preceding years. The payment of dividends by
the Bank or the Company may also be limited by other factors, such as requirements to maintain
capital above regulatory guidelines.
3
Table of Contents
Bank regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit the Bank or the Company from engaging in an
unsafe or unsound practice in conducting their businesses. The payment of dividends, depending on
the financial condition of the Bank, or the Company, could be deemed to constitute such an unsafe
or unsound practice. Based on the Banks current financial condition, the Company does not expect
that any of these laws will have any impact on its ability to obtain dividends from the Bank.
Capital Requirements.The Federal Reserve has issued risk-based and leverage capital guidelines
applicable to United States banking organizations. In addition, regulatory agencies may from time
to time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the minimum levels because of
its financial condition or actual or anticipated growth. Under the risk-based capital requirements,
the Company and Bank are required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets of at least 8%. At least half of the total capital is required to be Tier 1 capital, which
consists principally of common and certain qualifying preferred shareholders equity (including
Trust Preferred Securities), less certain intangibles and other adjustments. The remainder (Tier 2
capital) consists of a limited amount of subordinated and other qualifying debt (including certain
hybrid capital instruments) and a limited amount of the general loan loss allowance. The Tier 1 and
total capital to risk-weighted asset ratios of the Company as of December 31, 2007 were 12.65% and
13.25%, respectively, exceeding the minimum requirements.
In addition, each of the federal regulatory agencies has established a minimum leverage capital
ratio (Tier 1 capital to average adjusted assets) (Tier 1 leverage ratio). These guidelines
provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4% for banks and bank holding companies that meet
certain specified criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory examination rating and
are not contemplating significant growth or expansion. The Tier 1 leverage ratio of the Company as
of December 31, 2007, was 9.34%, which is above the minimum requirements. The guidelines also
provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be
expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels,
without significant reliance on intangible assets.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Effective on March 11, 2001, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the GLB Act)
allows a bank holding company or other company to certify status as a financial holding company,
which will allow such company to engage in activities that are financial in nature, that are
incidental to such activities, or are complementary to such activities. The GLB Act enumerates
certain activities that are deemed financial in nature, such as underwriting insurance or acting as
an insurance principal, agent or broker; underwriting; dealing in or making markets in securities;
and engaging in merchant banking under certain restrictions. It also authorizes the Federal Reserve
to determine by regulation what other activities are financial in nature, or incidental or
complementary thereto.
USA Patriot Act of 2001. In October, 2001, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 was enacted in response to
the terrorist attacks in New York, Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia which occurred on September
11, 2001. The Patriot Act is intended to strengthen U.S. law enforcements and the intelligence
communities abilities to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The
continuing and potential impact of the Patriot Act and related regulations and policies on
financial institutions of all kinds is significant and wide ranging. The Patriot Act contains
sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws, and imposes various regulations,
including standards for verifying client identification at account opening, and rules to promote
cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying
parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering.
Community Reinvestment The requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act are also applicable to
the Bank. The act imposes on financial institutions an affirmative and ongoing obligation to meet
the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods,
consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. A financial institutions
efforts in meeting community needs currently are evaluated as part of the examination process
pursuant to twelve assessment factors. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers,
acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility.

Forward-Looking Statements
F & M Bank Corp. makes forward-looking statements in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in other portions of this Annual Report on Form
10-K that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include:
estimates of risks and of future costs and benefits; assessments of probable loan losses and
statements of goals and expectations. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant
uncertainties because they are based upon managements estimates and projections of future interest
rates and other economic conditions; future laws and regulations; and a variety of other matters.
As a result of these uncertainties, actual results may be materially different from the results
indicated by these forward-looking statements. In addition, the Companys past results of
operations do not necessarily indicate its future results.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
General economic conditions, either national or within the Companys local markets.
The Company is affected by general economic conditions in the United States and the local markets
within which it operates. An economic downturn within the Companys markets, or the nation as a
whole; a significant decline in general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession,
unemployment or other factors beyond the Companys control could negatively impact the growth rate
of loans and deposits, the quality of the loan portfolio, loan and deposit pricing and other key
factors of the Companys business. Such negative developments could adversely impact the Companys
financial condition and performance.
Changes in interest rates could affect the Companys income and cash flows.
The direction and speed of interest rate changes affects our net interest margin and net interest
income. Typically, in a period of declining interest rates our net interest income is negatively
affected in the short term as our interest earning assets (primarily loans and investment
securities) reprice more quickly than our interest bearing liabilities (deposits and borrowings).
We attempt to mitigate this risk by maintaining a neutral position regarding the volume of assets
and liabilities that mature or reprice during any period; however, interest rate fluctuations, loan
prepayments, loan production and deposit flows constantly change and influence the ability to
maintain a neutral position. Generally speaking, the Companys earnings will be more sensitive to
fluctuations in interest rates the greater the variance in volume of assets and liabilities that
mature and reprice in any period. Accordingly, the Company may not be successful in maintaining a
neutral position and, as a result, the Companys net interest margin may be impacted.
The Company faces substantial competition that could adversely affect the Companys growth and/or
operating results.
The Company operates in a competitive market for financial services and faces intense competition
from other financial institutions both in making loans and in attracting deposits. Many of these
financial institutions have been in business for many years, are significantly larger, have
established customer bases, and have greater financial resources and lending limits.
There could be an adverse effects on the way in which we do business if we do not maintain our
capital requirements and our status as a well-capitalized bank.
The Bank is subject to regulatory capital adequacy guidelines. If the Bank fails to meet the
capital adequacy guidelines for a well-capitalized bank, it could increase the regulatory
scrutiny for the Bank and the Company; increase our FDIC insurance premiums, and could lead to a
decline in the confidence that our customers have in us and a reduction in the demand for our
products and services.

Table of Contents
The inability of the Company to successfully manage its growth or implement its growth strategy may
adversely affect the result of operations and financial conditions.
The Company may not be able to successfully implement its growth strategy if unable to identify
attractive markets, locations or opportunities to expand in the future. The ability to manage
growth successfully also depends on whether the Company can maintain capital levels adequate to
support its growth, maintain cost controls, asset quality and successfully integrate any businesses
acquired into the organization.
As the Company continues to implement its growth strategy by opening new branches it expects to
incur increased personnel, occupancy and other operating expenses. The Company must absorb those
higher expenses while it begins to generate new deposits, and there is a further time lag involved
in redeploying new deposits into attractively priced loans and other higher yielding earning
assets. Thus, the Companys plans to branch could depress earnings in the short run, even if it
efficiently executes a branching strategy leading to long-term financial benefits.
The Companys exposure to operational risk may adversely affect the Company.
Similar to other financial institutions, the Company is exposed to many types of operational risk,
including reputational risk, legal and compliance risk, the risk of fraud or theft by employees or
outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees or operational errors, including clerical or
record-keeping errors or those resulting from faulty or disabled computer or telecommunications
systems.
The Companys concentration in loans secured by real estate may adversely impact earnings due to
changes in the real estate markets.
The Company offers a variety of secured loans, including commercial lines of credit, commercial
term loans, real estate, construction, home equity, consumer and other loans. Many of the Companys
loans are secured by real estate (both residential and commercial) in the Companys market area. A
major change in the real estate market, resulting in deterioration in the value of this collateral,
or in the local or national economy, could adversely affect the customers ability to pay these
loans, which in turn could impact the Company. Risk of loan defaults and foreclosures are
unavoidable in the banking industry, and the Company tries to limit its exposure to this risk by
monitoring extensions of credit carefully. The Company cannot fully eliminate credit risk, and as a
result credit losses may occur in the future.
Legislative or regulatory changes or actions, or significant litigation, could adversely impact the
Company or the businesses in which the Company is engaged.
The Company is subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that
govern almost all aspects of its operations. Laws and regulations may change from time to time and
are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors and the deposit insurance funds.
The impact of any changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies may
negatively impact the Company or its ability to increase the value of its business. Additionally,
actions by regulatory agencies or significant litigation against the Company could cause it to
devote significant time and resources to defending itself and may lead to penalties that materially
affect the Company and its shareholders. Future changes in the laws or regulations or their
interpretations or enforcement could be materially adverse to the Company and its shareholders.
Changes in accounting standards could impact reported earnings.
The accounting standard setters, including the FASB, SEC and other regulatory bodies, periodically
change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of the
Companys consolidated financial statements. These changes can be hard to predict and can
materially impact how it records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. In
some cases, the Company could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively,
resulting in the restatement of prior period financial statements.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion provides information about the major components of the results of
operations and financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of F & M Bank Corp. and its
subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements presented in Item 8,
Financial Statements and Supplementary Information, of this Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (GAAP). The financial information contained within the statements
is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial
effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. The Companys financial position and
results of operations are affected by managements application of accounting policies, including
estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities
and amounts reported for revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the
application of these policies could result in material changes in the Companys consolidated
financial position and/or results of operations.
In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method.
Although the economics of these transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would
impact these transactions could change. Following is a summary of the Companys significant
accounting policies that are highly dependent on estimates, assumptions and judgments.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in the loan
portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies", which requires that losses be
accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimable and (ii) SFAS No. 114, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences
between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable
in the secondary market and the loan balance.
The Companys allowance for loan losses is the accumulation of various components that are
calculated based on independent methodologies. All components of the allowance represent an
estimation performed pursuant to either SFAS No. 5 or SFAS No. 114. Managements estimate of each
SFAS No. 5 component is based on certain observable data that management believes are most
reflective of the underlying credit losses being estimated. This evaluation includes credit
quality trends; collateral values; loan volumes; geographic, borrower and industry concentrations;
seasoning of the loan portfolio; the findings of internal credit quality assessments and results
from external bank regulatory examinations. These factors, as well as historical losses and
current economic and business conditions, are used in developing estimated loss factors used in the
calculations.
Allowances for commercial loans are determined by applying estimated loss factors to the portfolio
based on managements evaluation and risk grading of the commercial loan portfolio. Allowances
are provided for noncommercial loan categories using estimated loss factors applied to the total
outstanding loan balance of each loan category. Specific allowances are typically provided on all
impaired commercial loans in excess of a defined threshold that are classified in the Special
Mention, Substandard or Doubtful risk grades. The specific reserves are determined on a
loan-by-loan basis based on managements evaluation the Companys exposure for each credit, given
the current payment status of the loan and the value of any underlying collateral.

Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
While management uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan and lease
losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ
substantially from the assumptions used in making the valuations or, if required by regulators,
based upon information available to them at the time of their examinations. Such adjustments to
original estimates, as necessary, are made in the period in which these factors and other relevant
considerations indicate that loss levels may vary from previous estimates.
Goodwill and Intangibles
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Additionally, it further clarifies the criteria for the
initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 was
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and prescribes the accounting for
goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No. 142
discontinue the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Instead,
these assets are subject to an annual impairment review and more frequently if certain impairment
indicators are in evidence. SFAS No. 142 also requires that reporting units be identified for the
purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Goodwill totaled $2,639,000 at January 1,
2002. The goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually. Based on this
testing, there were no impairment charges for 2007 or 2006. Application of the non-amortization
provisions of the Statement resulted in additional net income of $120,000, $120,000 and $181,000
for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
Core deposit intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over a ten year life. Core deposit
intangible, net of amortization, amounted to $874,000 and $1,150,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The Company adopted SFAS 147 on January 1, 2002 and determined that the core deposit
intangible will continue to be amortized over its estimated useful life.
Securities Impairment
The Company evaluates each of its investments in securities, debt and equity, under guidelines
contained in SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. These
guidelines require the Company to determine whether a decline in value below original cost is other
than temporary. In making its determination, management considers current market conditions,
historical trends in the individual securities, and historical trends in the overall markets.
Expectations are developed regarding potential returns from dividend reinvestment and price
appreciation over a reasonable holding period (five years) and current carrying values are compared
to these expected values. Declines determined to be other than temporary are charged to operations
and included in the gain (loss) on security sales. Such charges were $171,000 for 2007, $40,000
for 2006 and $119,000 for 2005.
Overview
The Companys net income for 2007 totaled $4,453,000 or $1.89 per share, down 1.68% from $4,529,000
or $1.90 a share in 2006. Return on average equity decreased in 2007 to 11.53% versus 12.13% in
2006, while the return on average assets decreased from 1.26% to 1.17%. The Companys operating
earnings, which are net earnings excluding gains (losses) on the sale of investments, non-recurring
tax entries and non-cash amortization of acquisition intangibles were $4,389,000 in 2007 versus
$4,632,000 in 2006, a decrease of 5.25%. Core profitability decreased as a result of costs
associated with operating the three branches which opened in 2006 for a full year in 2007.

Net Interest Income
The largest source of operating revenue for the Company is net interest income, which is calculated
as the difference between the interest earned on earning assets and the interest expense paid on
interest bearing liabilities. The net interest margin is the net interest income expressed as a
percentage of interest earning assets. Changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities, along with their yields and rates, have a significant impact on the
level of net interest income.
Net interest income for 2007 was $13,592,000 representing an increase of $157,000 or 1.17%. A
4.31% increase in 2006 versus 2005 resulted in total net interest income of $13,435,000. In this
discussion and in the tabular analysis of net interest income performance, entitled Consolidated
Average Balances, Yields and Rates, (found on page 14), the interest earned on tax exempt loans
and investment securities has been adjusted to reflect the amount that would have been earned had
these investments been subject to normal income taxation. This is referred to as tax equivalent net
interest income.
Loans held for investment, expressed as a percentage of total earning assets, increased slightly in
2007 to 90.46% as compared to 90.40% in 2006. Tax equivalent income on earning assets increased
$2,116,000, supported by the increase in loan income of $1,618,000.
During 2007, yields on earning assets increased .14%, primarily due to a .53% increase in the yield
on consumer installment loans and a .89% increase in the yield on the investment portfolio. The
increased yields on installment loans was primarily the result of growth in home equity loans which
are tied to the prime rate of interest and the introduction of risk based pricing which was not
fully reflected in 2006.
Costs of interest bearing liabilities continued to rise in 2007, increasing an additional .47%
following an increase of .79% in 2006. The continued rise in interest costs resulted from
competition for deposits which caused the bank to offer rate specials throughout most of the year
to attract and retain deposits. In the fourth quarter of 2006 the Bank also introduced a tiered
rate money market account with rates tied to the federal funds rate. This account was introduced to
compete with other high yield accounts offered in the banks primary service area.
The analysis on the next page reveals a decrease in net interest margin to 3.94% in 2007 primarily
due to the minimal loan growth and the Federal Reserves rate decrease during the fourth quarter.

Interest Income
Tax equivalent interest income increased $2,116,000 or 9.31% in 2007, after increasing 13.29% or
$2,665,000 in 2006. Overall, the yield on earning assets increased .14%, from 6.95% to 7.09%. Loan
growth continued during 2007, with average loans outstanding increasing $18,694,000 to
$312,926,000. Real estate loans increased 2.41% and commercial loans increased 12.23%. Combined
these categories accounted for over 80.5% of the total increase in year ending loans. The increase
in real estate loans resulted as rates for loans that remain in the Banks portfolio, primarily
three and five year adjustable loans became more favorable as secondary market rates rebounded
somewhat from their historic lows. This category includes residentially secured loans, as well as
loans secured by commercial real estate. The increase in commercial loans resulted primarily from
the rapid pace of residential development in the area.
Average total securities, yielding 5.92%, increased $1,714,000 during 2007. Proceeds from the sale
and maturity of investment securities were reinvested in higher yielding instruments, both bonds
and equity securities to take advantage of improved market yields. Income on loans held for sale
totaled $22,000, as compared to the $9,000 during 2006. These are short-term real estate loan
participations that have an average life of approximately fifteen days. The bank originally entered
into this participation arrangement as a higher yielding alternative to federal funds sold. Due to
the slow down in secondary market lending, there was very little activity on this participation
commitment during 2007 or 2006.

Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $1,952,000 or 21.47% during 2007, which followed a 29.91% increase
($2,093,000) in 2006. The average cost of funds of 3.82% increased .47% compared to 2006. Average
interest bearing liabilities increased $18,205,000 in 2007 following a decrease of $2,337,000 in
2006. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in time deposits. Average time deposits
increased $15,314,000 or 10.03%, the expense associated with time deposits increased $1,590,000.
Approximately $625,000 of this increase was the result of growth in volume of time deposits, while
$965,000 of the increase was the result of the higher cost of funds (see table on page 14). Expense
of long-term debt increased $168,000 in 2007 after a decrease of $111,000 in 2006. The increase
in interest expense is primarily the result of the $3,749,000 increase in average debt outstanding
for the year. The Company borrowed $10,000,000 in 2007 and $15,000,000 in 2006. Funds borrowed in
both years were used to fund growth in the loan portfolio.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income continues to be an increasingly important factor in maintaining and growing
profitability. Management is conscious of the need to constantly review fee income and develop
additional sources of complementary revenue. The Bank continues to enjoy increased revenue from its
subsidiary Farmers & Merchants Financial Services (FMFS). Gross revenue for FMFS increased $53,000
in 2007. This increase resulted from higher levels of commissions from its partnerships in BI
Investments, LLC and Bankers Insurance, LLC.
Exclusive of securities gains and losses, non-interest income increased 16.75% ($461,000) in 2007
following an increase of 4.19% in 2006. Investments in bank owned life insurance (BOLI) on
officers of the Company resulted in tax-free income of $293,000 and $275,000 in 2007 and 2006.
Investments in low income housing projects resulted in non-interest income of $227,000 in 2007 and
$52,000 in 2006, an increase of $175,000. This increase is primarily the result of non-recurring
state tax credits received on the Companys investment in one of its low income housing projects.
Securities transactions in 2007 resulted in gains of $101,000 after recognition of impairment
write-downs totaling $171,000 on three holdings within the equities portfolio. This followed gain
of $193,000 in 2006, which were net of a $40,000 write down on the investment in BI Investments,
LLC. Although this investment is a minority interest, accounted for at cost, management determined
that the losses generated during 2006 were unlikely to be recouped in the near future and
recognized impairment in the investment under SFAS 115.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expenses increased from $9,687,000 in 2006 to $10,532,000 in 2007, an 8.72% increase.
Salary and benefits increased 9.32% to $6,262,000 in 2007 and 18.95% in 2006. The 2007 increase
resulted from additions to staff to support Bank growth and expansion, normal salary adjustments,
increases in insurance and pension expenses. Occupancy and equipment expense increased 13.18%
($141,000) in 2007 and 21.47% in 2006 due to ATM upgrades, new vehicles, computer equipment and
costs associated with three branch offices that were opened at various dates during 2006.
Other operating expense increased $170,000 in 2007, following a $22,000 decrease in 2006. Much of
the increase was due to an increase in charitable contributions, data processing and legal fees.
Although noninterest expenses in both 2007 and 2006 are higher than in previous years they continue
to be substantially less than peer group averages. Total noninterest expense as a percentage of
average assets totaled 2.76%, 2.69%, and 2.41%, in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Peer group
averages have ranged between 3.00% and 3.25% over the same time period.

Provision for Loan Losses
Management evaluates the loan portfolio in light of national and local economic trends, changes in
the nature and volume of the portfolio and industry standards. Specific factors considered by
management in determining the adequacy of the level of the allowance for loan losses include
internally generated loan review reports, past due reports and historical loan loss experience.
This review also considers concentrations of loans in terms of geography, business type and level
of risk. Management evaluates nonperforming loans relative to their collateral value and makes the
appropriate adjustments to the allowance for loan losses when needed. Based on the factors outlined
above, the current year provision for loan losses increased from $240,000 in 2006 to $270,000 in
2007.
Actual net loan charge-offs were $359,000 in 2007 and $122,000 in 2006. Loan losses as a percentage
of period ending loans held for investment totaled .11% and .04% in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Average losses continue at less than one-half that of the Banks peer group average, which have
ranged between .12% and .25% over the last three years.
Of the $359,000 in net charge-offs during 2007, $293,000 resulted from one commercial loan
relationship that was considered impaired at year end. This loan resulted from a restructuring of
several loans to several service related businesses that were non-performing. The restructured loan
performed as agreed for approximately six months before deteriorating and becoming a non-performing
asset. While there were deficiencies in collateral perfection, the principal reason for the
impairment was poor management which resulted in a decline in the business (closure of two of the
businesses) and a decrease in resale value. The remaining loan balance which was still carried at
year end is fully reserved in the allowance for loan loss calculation as an impairment asset,
pending the outcome of asset sales and bankruptcy proceedings. Funding of the allowance for loan
losses has been increased for 2008 to account for the remaining loss that may be incurred and for
the increased level of non-performing loans.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased 2.87% during the year to $386,727,000, an increase of $10,803,000 from
$375,924,000 in 2006. Earning assets increased 2.42% or $8,294,000 to $350,635,000 at December 31,
2006. Much of the increase in earning assets resulted from growth in the portfolio of loans held
for investment which totaled $7,719,000 for 2007. Deposit growth for 2007 totaled $9,037,000 or
3.12%; which was sufficient to meet loan funding needs for the year. The Company continues to
utilize its assets well with 90.67% of year-end assets consisting of earning assets.
Investment Securities
Average balances in investment securities increased 5.82% in 2007 to $31,146,000. This increase
was in fully taxable segment of the investment portfolio. At year end, 8.90% of earning assets of
the Company were held as investment securities to provide liquidity, as security for public
deposits and to secure repurchase agreements. Management strives to match the types and maturities
of securities owned to balance projected liquidity needs, interest rate sensitivity and to maximize
earnings through a portfolio bearing low credit risk. Portfolio yields averaged 5.92% for 2007, up
from 5.03% in 2006. Average yields on the investment portfolio now exceed peer group averages
primarily due to a lengthening of asset maturities within the bond portfolio of the Bank and
additional investments in dividend yielding investments held by the Company.

Analysis of Loan Portfolio
The Companys portfolio of loans held for investment totaled $317,180,000 at December 31, 2007
compared with $309,461,000 at the beginning of the year. The Companys policy has been to make
conservative loans that are held for future interest income. Collateral required by the Company is
determined on an individual basis depending on the purpose of the loan and the financial condition
of the borrower. Commercial loans, including agricultural and multi family loans, decreased 2.10%
during 2007 to $101,749,000. Real estate mortgages increased $2,190,000 (1.55%). Growth has
included a variety of loan and collateral types including residential real estate, real development
and commercial real estate loans to finance warehouse and storefront properties. During 2007, the
Bank also added to its business development lending staff with the addition of an experienced
commercial lender that was hired from another local bank that had recently

been merged into a larger institution. This officer has a loyal customer following and management
anticipates that these customers will continue to convert over to the Bank over the next several
years as borrowing needs arise.
Construction loans increased $4,632,000 or 9.93%, this increase is indicative of the relatively
strong local real estate development market. The growth in construction loans within our portfolio
was broadly diversified with loans to a variety of developers, including large multi-unit single
family developments, single lot spec homes; and multifamily properties in various locations
throughout our market area. The Bank also has loan participation arrangements with several other
banks within the region to aid in diversification of the loan portfolio geographically, by
collateral type and by borrower.
Consumer installment loans increased $2,782,000. This category includes personal loans, auto loans
and other loans to individuals. While this category continues to suffer from strong competition by
other providers of automobile financing, growth was achieved due to increases in home equity lines
of credit and amortizing second mortgages. Throughout most of the year, the Bank offered special
financing terms that included covering borrower closing costs or discounts on the initial interest
rate for a period of time. Credit card balances increased $91,000 to $1,800,000 but are a minor
component of the loan portfolio. The following table presents the changes in the loan portfolio
over the previous five years.

Residential real estate loans are generally made for a period not to exceed 25 years and are
secured by a first deed of trust which normally does not exceed 90% of the appraised value. If the
loan to value ratio exceeds 90%, the Company requires additional collateral, guarantees or mortgage
insurance. On approximately 80% of the real estate loans, interest is adjustable after each three
or five year period. Fixed rate loans are generally made for a fifteen-year or a twenty-year period
with an interest rate adjustment after ten years.
19
Table of Contents
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Since 1992, fixed rate real estate loans have been funded with fixed rate borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank, which allows the Company to control its interest rate risk. In addition,
the Company makes home equity loans secured by second deeds of trust with total indebtedness not to
exceed 90% of the appraised value. Home equity loans are made for three, five or ten year periods
at a fixed rate or as a revolving line of credit.
Construction loans may be made to individuals, who have arranged with a contractor for the
construction of a residence, or to contractors that are involved in building pre-sold, spec-homes
or subdivisions. The majority of commercial loans are made to small retail, manufacturing and
service businesses. Consumer loans are made for a variety of reasons; however, approximately 50% of
the loans are secured by automobiles and trucks.
The Companys market area has a stable economy which tends to be less cyclical than the national
economy. Major industries in the market area include agricultural production and processing,
higher education, retail sales, services and light manufacturing. The agricultural production and
processing industry is a major contributor to the local economy and its performance and growth tend
to be cyclical in nature, however, this cyclical nature is offset by other stable industries in the
trade area. In addition to direct agricultural loans, a large percentage of residential real estate
loans and consumer installment loans are made to borrowers whose income is derived from the
agricultural sector of the economy. A large percentage of the agricultural loans are made to
poultry growers.
During recent years, real estate values in the Companys market area for commercial, agricultural
and residential property increased, on the average, between 5% and 8% annually depending on the
location and type of property. Approximately 80% of the Companys loans are secured by real
estate; however, policies relating to appraisals and loan to value ratios are adequate to control
the related risk. Unemployment rates in the Companys market area continue to be below both the
national and state averages.
The Bank has identified loan concentrations of greater than 25% of capital in the following
categories, poultry related, motel properties, churches, assisted living facilities and
construction/development. While the Bank has not developed a formal policy limiting the
concentration level to any particular loan type or industry segment, concentrations are monitored
and reported to the board of directors quarterly. Concentration levels have been used by management
to determine how aggressively they may price or pursue new loan requests. At December 31, 2007,
there are no industry categories of loans that exceed 10% of total loans.
Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
The following table shows loans placed in a nonaccrual status and loans contractually past due 90
days or more as to principal or interest payments.

Commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they become ninety days or more past due,
unless there is an expectation that the loan will either be brought current or paid in full in a
reasonable period of time. Interest accruals are continued on past due, secured residential real
estate loans and consumer purpose loans until the principal and accrued interest equal the value of
the collateral and on unsecured loans until the financial condition of the borrower deteriorates to
the point that any further accrued interest would be determined to be uncollectible. At December
31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, there were no restructured loans on which interest was accruing at a
reduced rate or on which payments had been extended. At year end 2007, nonaccrual loans include
20

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
three loan relationships, two of which are secured by real estate. Both of these loan relationships
are in the process of collection. Management expects these loans will be paid off during the second
quarter of 2008, with little or no loss.
Potential Problem Loans
Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention do not
represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will
materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. Nor do they represent
material credits about which management is aware of any information which causes it to have serious
doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. As of December
31, 2007, management is not aware of any potential problem loans which are not already classified
for regulatory purposes or on the watch list as part of the Banks internal grading system.
Loan Losses and the Allowance for Loan Losses
In evaluating the portfolio, loans are segregated into loans with identified potential losses, and
pools of loans by type (commercial, residential, consumer, credit cards). Loans with identified
potential losses include examiner and bank classified loans. Classified relationships in excess of
$100,000 are reviewed individually for impairment under FAS 114. A variety of factors are taken
into account when reviewing these credits, including borrower cash flow, payment history, fair
value of collateral, company management, industry and economic factors. Loan relationships that are
determined to have no impairment are placed back into the appropriate loan pool and reviewed under
SFAS No. 5.
Loan pools are further segmented into watch list, past due over 90 days and all other. Watch list
loans include loans that are 60 days past due and may include restructured loans, borrowers that
are highly leveraged, loans that have been upgraded from classified or loans that contain policy
exceptions (term, collateral coverage, etc.). Loss estimates on these loans reflect the increased
risk associated with these assets due to any of the above factors. The past due pools contain loans
that are currently 90 days or more past due. Loss rates assigned to these past due loans reflect
the fact that these loans bear a significant risk of charge-off. Loss rates vary by loan type to
reflect the likelihood that collateral values will offset a portion of the anticipated losses.
The remainder of the portfolio falls into pools by type of homogenous loans that do not exhibit any
of the above described weaknesses. Loss rates are assigned based on historical rates over either
the prior five year or prior two year period depending on the type of loan. A multiplier has been
applied to these loss rates to reflect the time for loans to season within the portfolio and the
inherent imprecision of these estimates.
All potential losses are evaluated within a range of low to high. An unallocated allowance has
been established to reflect other unidentified losses within the portfolio. The unallocated
allowance mitigates the increased risk of loss associated with fluctuations in past due trends,
changes in the local and national economies, and other unusual events. The Board approves the loan
loss provision for each quarter based on this evaluation. An effort is made to keep the actual
allowance at or above the midpoint of the range established by the evaluation process.
The allowance for loan losses of $1,703,000 at December 31, 2007 is equal to.54 % of total loans
held for investment. This compares to an allowance of $1,791,000 (.58%) at December 31, 2006. The
overall level of the allowance remains well below the peer group averages. Management feels this
is appropriate based on its loan loss history and the composition of its loan portfolio; the
current allowance for loan losses is equal to approximately seven years of average loan losses.
Based on historical losses, delinquency rates, collateral values of delinquent loans and a thorough
review of the loan portfolio, management is of the opinion that the allowance for loan losses
fairly states the estimated losses in the current portfolio.

Loan losses, net of recoveries, totaled $359,000 in 2007 which is equivalent to .11% of total loans
outstanding. Over the preceding five years, the Company has had an average loss rate of .08% which
is less than fifty percent of the loss rate of its peer group.
A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses follows:

The Company has allocated the allowance according to the amounts deemed to be reasonably necessary
to provide for the possibility of losses occurring within each of the loan categories as shown
below. The allocation of the allowance as shown below should not be interpreted as an indication
that loan losses in future years will occur in the same proportions or that the allocation

Furthermore, the portion allocated to each loan category is not the total amount available for

Deposits and Borrowings
The Bank recognized an increase in year-end deposits in 2007 of 3.12%. Rates of interest increased
throughout 2007. During 2007, the Bank advertised several certificate of deposit specials, ranging
in term from six months to thirty-three months, designed to attract and retain deposits to fund
loan growth and also to attract deposits in new markets. Also in 2007, the Bank began offering a
tiered rate money market account to compete with other similar accounts within its market area.
The Bank has traditionally avoided brokered and large deposits believing that they were unstable
and, thus not desirable. This has proven to be a good strategy as the local deposit base is very
stable and small increases in rates above the competition have usually resulted in deposit gains in
past years. The Bank has, on occasion, accepted certificates of deposit from other financial
institutions at below market rates of interest. These funds have been used to meet loan demand or
in some cases reinvested in certificates of deposit at other institutions which were offering above
market rates. Certificates of deposit over $100,000 totaled $44,512,000 at December 31, 2007. The
maturity distribution of these certificates is as follows:

Non-deposit borrowings include repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) daily rate credit and long-term debt obtained through the FHLB. Repurchase agreements
continue to be an important source of funding and provide commercial customers the opportunity to
earn market rates of interest on funds that are secured by specific securities owned by the Bank.
Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank are used to support the Banks mortgage lending program
and allow the Bank to offer longer-term mortgages. The Bank borrowed $10,000,000 in 2007 and
$15,000,000 in 2006. Quarterly installment payments on FHLB debt totaled $9,071,000 for the year.
These loans carry an average rate of 4.40% at December 31, 2007.
Stockholders Equity
Total stockholders equity increased $1,060,000 or 2.78% in 2007. Earnings retained from
operations were the primary source of the increase. As of December 31, 2007, book value per share
was $16.71 compared to $16.05 as of December 31, 2006. Dividends are paid to stockholders on a
quarterly basis in uniform amounts unless unexpected fluctuations in net income indicate a change
to this policy is needed.
Banking regulators have established a uniform system to address the adequacy of capital for
financial institutions. The rules require minimum capital levels based on risk-adjusted assets.
Simply stated, the riskier an entitys investments, the more capital it is required to maintain.
The Bank, as well as the Company, is required to maintain these minimum capital levels. The two
types of capital guidelines are Tier I capital (referred to as core capital) and Tier II capital
(referred to as supplementary capital). At December 31, 2007, the Company had Tier I capital of
12.65% of risk weighted assets and combined Tier I and II capital of 13.25% of risk weighted
assets. Regulatory minimums at this date were 4% and 8%, respectively. The Bank has maintained
capital levels far above the minimum requirements throughout the year. In the unlikely event that
such capital levels are not met, regulatory agencies are empowered to require the Company to raise
additional capital and/or reallocate present capital.

In addition, the regulatory agencies have issued guidelines requiring the maintenance of a capital
leverage ratio. The leverage ratio is computed by dividing Tier I capital by average total assets.
The regulators have established a minimum of 3% for this ratio, but can increase the minimum
requirement based upon an institutions overall financial condition. At December 31, 2007, the
Company reported a leverage ratio of 9.34%. The Banks leverage ratio was also substantially above
the minimum.
Market Risk Management
Most of the Companys net income is dependent on the Banks net interest income. Rapid changes in
short-term interest rates may lead to volatility in net interest income resulting in additional
interest rate risk to the extent that imbalances exist between the maturities or repricing of
interest bearing liabilities and interest earning assets. The net interest margin decreased 23 BP
in 2007 and increased 16 BP in 2006. Due to a slowing of the national economy and market
turbulence related to the sub-prime mortgage lending crisis, the Federal Reserve began cutting
short term interest rates in September 2007. By early February 2008 the short term Federal Funds
rate had be reduced by 2.25%, including an emergency rate cut of .75% which occurred in January
2008.
Net interest income is also affected by changes in the mix of funding that supports earning assets.
For example, higher levels of non-interest bearing demand deposits and leveraging earning assets by
funding with stockholders equity would result in greater levels of net interest income than if
most of the earning assets were funded with higher cost interest-bearing liabilities, such as
certificates of deposit.
Liquidity as of December 31, 2007 is acceptable; the Bank historically has had a stable core
deposit base and, therefore, does not have to rely on volatile funding sources. Because of the
stable core deposit base, changes in interest rates should not have a significant effect on
liquidity. The Banks membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank has historically provided liquidity
as the Bank borrows money that is repaid over a five to ten year period and uses the money to make
fixed rate loans. The matching of the long-term receivables and liabilities helps the Bank reduce
its sensitivity to interest rate changes. The Company reviews its interest rate gap periodically
and makes adjustments as needed. There are no off balance sheet items that will impair future
liquidity.
The following table depicts the Companys interest rate sensitivity, as measured by the repricing
of its interest sensitive assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2007. As the notes to the
table indicate, the data was based in part on assumptions as to when certain assets or liabilities
would mature or reprice. The analysis indicates a liability sensitive one-year cumulative GAP
position of (6.05%) of total earning assets, compared to (12.66%) in 2006. Approximately 36% of
rate sensitive assets and 51% of rate sensitive liabilities are subject to repricing within one
year. Short term assets (less than one year) increased $15,717,000 during the year, while total
earning assets increased $8,294,000. Proceeds of maturing investment securities were reinvested in
assets with final maturities of three to five years due to the improved yields available. Growth in
the loan portfolio was concentrated in real estate loans which typically have an initial rate
adjustment period of three to five years. Short term liabilities decreased $6,413,000, while total
interest bearing liabilities increased only $3,135,000. This shortening of the liability portfolio
is concentrated in the maturity distribution of certificates of deposit. Due to the relatively flat
yield curve and the expectation of declining interest rates by the end of 2007, management chose to
offer premium rates on certificate of deposit specials that are relatively short in duration (six
to thirteen months). This resulted in the improvement in the negative GAP position in the one year
time period, management believes that this allows better positioning which will allow greater
flexibility in dealing with future rate decreases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard
eliminates inconsistencies found in various prior pronouncements but does not require any new fair
value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008.
In September 2006, The FASB ratified the consensuses reached by the FASBs Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) relating to EITF 06-4, Accounting for the Deferred Compensation and Postretirement
Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-4). Entities
purchase life insurance for various reasons including protection against loss of key employees and
to fund postretirement benefits. The two most common types of life insurance arrangements are
endorsement split dollar life and collateral assignment split dollar life. EITF 06-4 covers the
former and EITF 06-10 (discussed below) covers the latter.
EITF 06-4 states that entities with endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that
provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods should recognize a
liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, (if, in substance, a postretirement benefit plan
exists) or Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, Omnibus Opinion1967 (if the
arrangement is, in substance, an individual
25

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
deferred compensation contract). Entities should recognize the effects of applying this Issue
through either (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to
retained earnings or to other components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial
position as of the beginning of the year of adoption or (b) a change in accounting principle
through retrospective application to all prior periods. EITF 06-4 is effective for the Company on
January 1, 2008. The adoption of EITF 06-04 will result in an adjustment to retained earnings and
the creation of a liability of approximately $205,000.
In September 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on EITF 06-5, Accounting for Purchases
of Life InsuranceDetermining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical
Bulletin No. 85-4, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance (EITF 06-5). EITF 06-5 states
that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the
insurance policy other than the cash surrender value in determining the amount that could be
realized under the insurance contract. EITF 06-5 also states that a policyholder should determine
the amount that could be realized under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an
individual-life by individual-life policy (or certificate by certificate in a group policy). EITF
06-5 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008.
In March 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on EITF 06-10, Accounting for Collateral
Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-10). The postretirement aspect of
this EITF is substantially similar to EITF 06-4 discussed above and requires that an employer
recognize a liability for the postretirement benefit related to a collateral assignment
split-dollar life insurance arrangement in accordance with either FASB Statement No. 106 or APB
Opinion No. 12, as appropriate, if the employer has agreed to maintain a life insurance policy
during the employees retirement or provide the employee with a death benefit based on the
substantive agreement with the employee. In addition, a consensus was reached that an employer
should recognize and measure an asset based on the nature and substance of the collateral
assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangement. EITF 06-10 is effective for the Company on
January 1, 2008. The adoption of EITF 06-10 will result in an adjustment to retained earnings and
the creation of a liability of approximately $223,000.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). This
statement permits, but does not require, entities to measure many financial instruments at fair
value. The objective is to provide entities with an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported
earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply
complex hedge accounting provisions. Entities electing this option will apply it when the entity
first recognizes an eligible instrument and will report unrealized gains and losses on such
instruments in current earnings. This statement 1) applies to all entities, 2) specifies certain
election dates, 3) can be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis with some exceptions, 4) is
irrevocable and 5) applies only to entire instruments. One exception is demand deposit liabilities
which are explicitly excluded as qualifying for fair value. With respect to SFAS 115,
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities at the effective date are eligible for the fair
value option at that date. If the fair value option is elected for those securities at the
effective date, cumulative unrealized gains and losses at that date shall be included in the
cumulative-effect adjustment and thereafter, such securities will be accounted for as trading
securities. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the EITF with respect to EITF 06-11,
Accounting for Income Tax Benefits of Dividends on Share-Based Payment Awards (EITF 06-11).
Under EITF 06-11, a realized income tax benefit from dividends or dividend equivalents that are
charged to retained earnings and are paid to employees for equity-classified nonvested equity
shares, nonvested equity share units and outstanding equity share options should be recognized as
an increase in additional paid-in capital. This EITF is to be applied prospectively to the income
tax benefits that result from dividends on equity-classified employee share-based payment awards
that are declared beginning in 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early
application is permitted.

In November 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 109, Written Loan Commitments Recorded at Fair Value Through Earnings (SAB 109). SAB 109
expresses the current view of the SEC staff that the expected net future cash flows related to the
associated servicing of the loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan
commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. SEC registrants are expected
to apply this guidance on a prospective basis to derivative loan commitments issued or modified in
the first quarter of 2008 and thereafter.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, (SFAS 141(R)) which
replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a
business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures goodwill
acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what
information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is effective for acquisitions by the
Company taking place on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, a
calendar year-end company is required to record and disclose business combinations following
existing accounting guidance until January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and
reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of
a subsidiary. Before this statement, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling
interests (minority interest). As a result, diversity in practice exists. In some cases minority
interest is reported as a liability and in others it is reported in the mezzanine section between
liabilities and equity. Specifically, SFAS 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling
interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financials statements and separate from
the parents equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be
included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that
changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are
equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this
statement requires that a parent recognize gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling
equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure
requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 is
effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS:
F & M Bank Corp. (the Company), through its subsidiary Farmers & Merchants Bank (the Bank),
operates under a charter issued by the Commonwealth of Virginia and provides commercial banking
services. As a state chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Virginia Bureau of
Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank provides services to customers
located mainly in Rockingham, Shenandoah and Page Counties in Virginia, and the adjacent counties
of Augusta, Virginia and Hardy, West Virginia. Services are provided at eight branch offices. In
addition, the Company offers insurance and financial services through its subsidiaries, TEB Life
Insurance, Inc. and Farmers & Merchants Financial Services, Inc.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to generally
accepted accounting principles and to accepted practice within the banking industry.
The following is a summary of the more significant policies:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Farmers and Merchants Bank, the
TEB Life Insurance Company and Farmers & Merchants Financial Services, Inc. Significant
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts in those statements; actual results could differ significantly
from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes
in the near term are the determination of the allowance for loan losses, which is sensitive to
changes in local and national economic conditions, and the other than temporary impairment of
investments in the investment portfolio.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits at other financial institutions whose
initial maturity is ninety days or less.
Investment Securities
Management reviews the securities portfolio and classifies all securities as either held to
maturity or available for sale at the date of acquisition. Securities that the Company has both
the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity (at time of purchase) are classified as held to
maturity securities. All other securities are classified as available for sale. Securities held
to maturity are carried at historical cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts, using the effective interest method. Securities available for sale are carried at
fair value with any valuation adjustments reported, net of deferred taxes, as a part of other
accumulated comprehensive income. Also included in securities available for sale are marketable
equity securities.
Interest, amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on securities are reported as
interest income using the effective interest method. Gains (losses) realized on sales and calls of
securities are determined on the specific identification method.
Accounting for Historic Rehabilitation and Low Income Housing Partnerships
The Company periodically invests in low income housing partnerships whose primary benefit is the
distribution of federal income tax credits to partners. The Company recognizes these benefits and
the cost of the investments over the life of the partnership (usually 15 years). In addition,
state and federal historic rehabilitation credits are generated from some of the partnerships.
Amortization of these investments are prorated based on the amount of benefits received in each
year to the total estimated benefits over the life of the projects. All benefits have been shown
as investment income since income tax benefits are the only anticipated benefits of ownership.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Loans
Loans are carried on the balance sheet net of any unearned interest and the allowance for loan
losses. Interest income on loans is determined using the effective interest method on the daily
amount of principal outstanding except where serious doubt exists as to collectibility of the loan,
in which case the accrual of income is discontinued.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses charged to operations is an amount sufficient to bring the allowance
for loan losses to an estimated balance that management considers adequate to absorb potential
losses in the portfolio. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes the
collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are
credited to the allowance. Managements determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on
an evaluation of the composition of the loan portfolio, the value and adequacy of collateral,
current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, and other risk factors. Management
believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available
information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based
on changes in economic conditions, particularly those affecting real estate values. In addition,
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
Companys allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions
to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their
examination.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that
the Company 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 the length
of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrowers 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 and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loans obtainable market price, or the
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Nonaccrual Loans
Commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status when they become ninety days or more past due,
unless there is an expectation that the loan will either be brought current or paid in full in a
reasonable period of time. Interest accruals are continued on past due, secured residential real
estate loans and consumer purpose loans until the principal and accrued interest equal the value of
the collateral and on unsecured loans until the financial condition of the borrower deteriorates to
the point that any further accrued interest would be determined to be uncollectible.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
Bank Premises and Equipment
Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
charged to income over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a combination of the
straight-line and accelerated methods. The ranges of the useful lives of the premises and
equipment are as follows:
Buildings and Improvements |
10-40years | |||
Furniture and Fixtures |
5-20years |
Maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements are charged to operations as incurred. Gains and
losses on dispositions are reflected in other income or expense.
Intangible Assets
Core deposit intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. Core deposit
intangibles, net of amortization totaled $874,000 and $1,150,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. The Company adopted SFAS 147 on January 1, 2002 and determined that the core deposit
intangible will continue to be amortized over the estimated useful life.
Goodwill
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Additionally, it further clarifies the criteria for the
initial recognition and measurement of intangible assets separate from goodwill. SFAS No. 142
became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and prescribes the accounting
for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS No.
142 discontinue the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Instead,
these assets are subject to an impairment review on an annual basis and more frequently if certain
impairment indicators are in evidence. SFAS No. 142 also requires that reporting units be
identified for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill.
Goodwill totaled $2,639,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006. The goodwill is no longer amortized, but
instead tested for impairment at least annually. Based on the testing, there were no impairment
charges for 2007, 2006 or 2005. Application of the non-amortization provisions of the Statement
resulted in additional pre-tax net income of approximately $181,000 for the years ended December
31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides
interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements
should be considered in quantifying a potential current year misstatement. Prior to SAB 108,
Companies might evaluate the materiality of financial statement misstatements using either the
income statement or balance sheet approach, with the income statement approach focusing on new
misstatements added in the current year, and the balance sheet approach focusing on the cumulative
amount of misstatement present in a companys balance sheet. Misstatements that would be material
under one approach could be viewed as immaterial under another approach, and not require
correction. SAB 108 now requires that companies view financial statement misstatements as material
if they are material according to either the income statement or balance sheet approach. The
Company has adopted SAB 108 and determined that an existing financial statement misstatement that
had in the past been immaterial under the income statement method was now material under the
balance sheet method. This misstatement relates to the income tax treatment of the amortization of
goodwill related to branch purchases. As a result of the initial application of SAB 108, 2006
beginning retained earning was charged $296,881, the cumulative effect of the adoption of this
standard. Had this standard been in effect during 2005 income tax expense would have been $61,424
more in both years and net income would have been $61,424 less in both years.
Pension Plans
The Bank has a qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan which covers substantially
all of its employees. The benefits are primarily based on years of service and earnings. On
December 31, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158), which was issued in September of 2006 and
amends SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 to require recognition of the over-funded or under-funded status of
pension and other postretirement benefit plans on the balance sheet. Under SFAS 158, gains and
losses, prior service costs and credits, and any remaining transition amounts under SFAS 87 and
SFAS 106 that have not yet been recognized through net periodic benefit cost will be recognized in
accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component
of net periodic cost.
Advertising Costs
The Company follows the policy of charging the cost of advertising to expense as incurred. Total
advertising costs included in other operating expenses for 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $244,930,
$245,175 and $232,369, respectively.
Income Taxes
Amounts provided for income tax expense are based on income reported for financial statement
purposes rather than amounts currently payable under income tax laws. Deferred taxes, which arise
principally from temporary differences between the period in which certain income and expenses are
recognized for financial accounting purposes and the period in which they affect taxable income,
are included in the amounts provided for income taxes.
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 and gains or losses on certain derivative contracts, are
reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with
operating net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The Company had
no potentially dilutive instruments during the three-year period ended December 31, 2007.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Change in Accounting Principle
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement requires that
all derivatives be recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measured at fair
value.
Under SFAS No. 133, the gain or loss on a derivative designated and qualifying as a fair value
hedging instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedging item attributable to the
risk being hedged, is recognized currently in earnings in the same accounting period. The
effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative designated and qualifying as a cash flow
hedging instrument is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and
subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged
transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative
instrument, if any, is recognized currently in earnings.
Interest rate derivative financial instruments receive hedge accounting treatment only if they are
designated as a hedge and are expected to be, and are, effective in substantially reducing interest
rate risk arising from the assets and liabilities identified as exposing the Company to risk.
Those derivative financial instruments that do not meet the hedging criteria discussed below would
be classified as trading activities and would be recorded at fair value with changes in fair value
recorded in income. Derivative hedge contracts must meet specific effectiveness tests (i.e., over
time the change in their fair values due to the designated hedge risk must be within 80 to 125
percent of the opposite change in the fair value of the hedged assets or liabilities). Changes in
fair value of the derivative financial instruments must be effective at offsetting changes in the
fair value of the hedging items due to the designated hedge risk during the term of the hedge.
Further, if the underlying financial instrument differs from the hedged asset or liability, there
must be a clear economic relationship between the prices of the two financial instruments. If
periodic assessment indicates derivatives no longer provide an effective hedge, the derivatives
contracts would be closed out and settled or classified as a trading activity.

NOTE 4 INVESTMENT SECURITIES (CONTINUED):
There were no sales of debt securities during 2007, 2006, or 2005. Following is a table reflecting
gains and losses on the sale of equity securities:

The carrying value (which approximates fair value) of securities pledged by the Bank to secure
deposits and for other purposes amounted to $20,975,000 at December 31, 2007 and $20,575,000 at
December 31, 2006.
Other investments consist of investments in eleven low-income housing and historic equity
partnerships (carrying basis of $3,614,000) and stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank, and various
other investments (carrying basis of $2,677,000). The interests in the low-income housing and
historic equity partnerships have limited transferability and the interests in the other stocks are
restricted as to sales. The market values of these securities are estimated to approximate their
carrying value as of December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2007, the Company was committed to invest
an additional $2,498,896 in four low-income housing limited partnerships. These funds will be paid
as requested by the general partner to complete the projects. This additional investment has been
reflected in the above carrying basis and in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet.
The primary purpose of the investment portfolio is to generate income and meet liquidity needs of
the Company through readily saleable financial instruments. The portfolio includes fixed rate
bonds, whose prices move inversely with rates, variable rate bonds and equity securities. At the
end of any accounting period, the investment portfolio has unrealized gains and losses. The
Company monitors the portfolio, which is subject to liquidity needs, market rate changes and credit
risk changes, to see if adjustments are needed. The primary concern in a loss situation is the
credit quality of the business behind the instrument. In 2007, 2006, and 2005, the Company wrote
down several equity investments because of price deterioration that was not expected to improve in
the near term. Bonds deteriorate in value due to credit quality of the individual issuer and
changes in market conditions. There are approximately 40 holdings in the current portfolio that
have losses. These losses relate to market conditions and the timing of purchases.
A summary of these losses is as follows:

NOTE 4 INVESTMENT SECURITIES (CONTINUED):
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis,
and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is
given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the cost,
(2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability
of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for
any anticipated recovery of fair value.
The Company recognized an impairment of $171,000 and $40,000 in the carrying basis of its equity
holdings in 2007 and 2006, respectively. These write downs were a result of managements evaluation
and determination that these assets met the definition of other than temporary impairment under
SFAS 115.

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the recorded investment in loans which have been identified as
impaired loans, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114), totaled $2,748,000 and $3,901,000, respectively.
All of these loans had a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance related to impaired loans
on December 31, 2007 and 2006 is $682,000 and $475,000, respectively. For the years of 2007, 2006
and 2005, the average balances of impaired loans were $3,408,000, $3,552,000, and $3,917,000,
respectively. The amount of interest income recorded by the Company during 2007, 2006 and 2005 on
impaired loans was $247,000, $254,000, and $256,000, respectively. There were no nonaccrual loans
excluded from impaired loan disclosure at December 31, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
The Company has pledged loans as collateral for borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta totaling $143,662,000 and $177,023,000 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Prior to 2004, the Company pledged specific residential real estate loans to secure its borrowings
from the FHLB. During 2005, the Company switched to a blanket lien on its entire residential real
estate portfolio and also began pledging commercial and home equity loans.
Loans held for sale consists of the Banks commitment to purchase up to $45,000,000 in residential
mortgage loan participations. These loans are purchased as a 95% participation in loans that are
warehoused by a bank in California. Loans are originated by a network of mortgage loan originators
throughout the United States. The Bank receives certain loan documents daily for review, makes its
purchase decision and wires funds to the bank in California. By contract terms, the Bank will hold
these loans up to 60 days. The actual holding period of individual loans has ranged from 1 day to
56 days, with an average of 15 days during 2006 and 2007.

NOTE 5 LOANS (CONTINUED):
The commitment to purchase these loan participations was entered into in 2003, as a $30,000,000
commitment, but actual purchases were immaterial until March 2004. This program was entered into as
an alternative to selling Federal Funds and other short-term investments. As demand within the
program increased, the Bank recognized an opportunity to earn a return based on the spread between
the participation interest received and the cost of borrowing daily rate credit from the FHLB. The
volume of loans purchased fluctuates due to a number of factors including changes in secondary
market rates, which affects demand for mortgage loans; the number of participating banks involved
in the program; the number of mortgage loan originators selling loans to the lead bank and the
funding capabilities of the lead bank.
Due to the slow down in the real estate markets there was very little activity related to this
commitment during 2007. For the year there was only one advance made on this commitment totaling
$10,000,000, funds were outstanding on this advance for a period of only 20 days.

Repurchase agreements are secured transactions with customers and generally mature the day
following the date sold. Federal funds purchased are unsecured overnight borrowings from other
financial institutions. FHLB daily rate credit, which is secured by the loan portfolio is a
variable rate loan that acts as a line of credit to meet financing needs. Margin borrowings which
carry a variable rate are secured by investment securities and are used to finance equity
acquisitions on a short term basis.
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling
$17,000,000, which may be used in the management of short-term liquidity.

NOTE 10 LONG-TERM DEBT:
New borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) were $10,000,000 in 2007,
$15,000,000 in 2006 and $5,000,000 in 2005. The interest rates on the notes payable are fixed at

from the Bank for securities purchases and the balance was used for working capital needs. The
outstanding balance at December 31, 2007 was $0. The interest rate was a floating rate of LIBOR
plus 1.10%, adjustable monthly. Repayments of long-term debt are due either quarterly or
semi-annually and interest is due monthly. Interest expense of $1,219,489, $1,050,760, and

all of its employees. The benefits are primarily based on years of service and earnings. On
December 31, 2006 the Company adopted SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158), which was issued in September of 2006 and
amends SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 to require recognition of the over-funded or under-funded status of
pension and other postretirement benefit plans on the balance sheet. Under SFAS 158, gains and
losses, prior service costs and credits, and any remaining transition amounts under SFAS 87 and
SFAS 106 that have not yet been recognized through net periodic benefit cost will be recognized in
accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component
of net periodic cost.

Funding Policy
It is the Banks policy to normally contribute the maximum tax-deductible amount each year as
determined by the plan administrator. Based on current information, the 2008 contribution is
$500,000 and pension cost for 2008 will be approximately $208,000.
Long-Term Rate of Return
The plan sponsor selects the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption in consultation
with their advisors and the plan actuary, and with concurrence from their auditor. This rate is
intended to reflect the average rate of earnings expected to be earned on the funds invested or to
be invested to provide plan benefits. Historical performance is reviewed, especially with respect
to real rates of return (net of inflation) for the major asset classes held or anticipated to be
held by the trust. Undue weight is not given to recent experience, which may not continue over the
measurement period, with higher significance placed on current forecasts of future long-term
economic conditions.
Because assets are held in a qualified trust, anticipated returns are not reduced for taxes.
Further solely for this purpose the plan is assumed to continue in force and not terminate
during the period during which the assets are invested. However, consideration is given to the
potential impact of current and future investment policy, cash flow into and out of the trust, and
expenses (both investment and non-investment)
typically paid from plan assets (to the extent such expenses are not explicitly estimated within
periodic cost).
Asset Allocation
The following table provides the pension plans asset allocation as of December 31:
2007 | 2006 | |||||||
Mutual funds equity |
60 | % | 56 | % | ||||
Mutual funds fixed income |
35 | % | 30 | % | ||||
Cash and equivalents |
5 | % | 14 | % |
The trust fund is sufficiently diversified to maintain a reasonable level of risk without
imprudently sacrificing return, with a targeted asset allocation of 40% fixed income and 60%
equity. The Investment Manager selects investment fund managers with demonstrated experience and
expertise, and funds with demonstrated historical performance, for the implementation of the Plans
investment strategy. The Investment Manager will consider both actively and passively managed
investment strategies and will allocate funds across the asset classes to develop an efficient
investment structure.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
The Company sponsors an ESOP which provides stock ownership to substantially all employees of the
Bank. The Plan provides total vesting upon the attainment of five years of service. Contributions
to the plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are allocated based on the
compensation of each employee relative to total compensation paid by the Bank. All shares issued
and held by the Plan are considered outstanding in the computation of earnings per share. Dividends
on Company stock are allocated and paid to participants at least annually. Shares of Company stock,
when distributed, have restrictions on transferability. The Company contributed $250,000 in 2007,
$260,750 in 2006, and $233,850 in 2005 to the Plan and charged this expense to operations.
401K Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan under which eligible employees may choose to save up to
20 percent of their salary on a pretax basis, subject to certain IRS limits. The Company matches
fifty percent (up to six percent of the employees salary) of employee contributions. Vesting in
the contributions made by the bank is 20% after two years of service and increases by 20% for each
of the next four years of service. Contributions under the plan amounted to $108,717, $98,626 and
$81,618 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company has a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for several of its key employees and
directors. The Company may make annual contributions to the plan, and the employee or director has
the option to defer a portion of their salary or bonus based on qualifying annual elections.
Company contributions to the plan totaled $50,000, $55,874 and $54,565 in 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively.
NOTE 13 CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT:
The Company had cash deposits in other commercial banks totaling $9,075,060 and $4,679,643 at
December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company grants commercial, residential real estate and consumer loans to customers located
primarily in the northwestern portion of the State of Virginia. Although the Company has a
diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors ability to honor their contracts
is dependent upon the agribusiness economic sector, specifically the poultry industry for which
loans outstanding total $16,496,000. Other identified loan concentration areas greater than 25% of
capital include motel properties, churches and construction/development. Collateral required by the
Company is determined on an individual basis depending on the purpose of the loan and the financial
condition of the borrower. Approximately 80% of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate.

NOTE 14 COMMITMENTS:
The Company makes commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business and issues standby
letters of credit to meet the financing needs of its customers. The amount of the commitments
represents the Companys exposure to credit loss that is not included in the balance sheet. As of
the balance sheet dates, the Company had the following commitments outstanding:
2007 | 2006 | |||||||
Commitments to loan money |
$ | 81,656,366 | $ | 63,884,669 | ||||
Standby letters of credit |
2,508,906 | 1,749,870 |
The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to lend money and issue standby
letters of credit as it does for the loans reflected in the balance sheet.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation
of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or
other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customers creditworthiness on a
case-by-case basis. Collateral required, if any, upon extension of credit is based on managements
credit evaluation of the borrowers ability to pay. Collateral held varies but may include
accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment.
The Bank leases three of its branch offices on long term lease arrangements of either five or ten
years. As of December 31, 2007, the required lease payments for the next five years are as follows:
2008 |
$ | 71,760 | ||
2009 |
$ | 71,760 | ||
2010 |
$ | 64,260 | ||

2012 |
$ | 21,600 |
NOTE 15 | ON BALANCE SHEET DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: |
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company has stand alone derivative financial instruments in the form of forward option
contracts. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are
amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivative are based. Notional
amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net
difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such difference, which
represents the fair value of the derivative instruments, is reflected on the Companys balance
sheet as derivative assets and derivative liabilities.
The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparties to these agreements. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial
contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any
counterparties to fail their obligations. The Company deals only with primary dealers.
Derivative instruments are generally either negotiated OTC contracts or standardized contracts
executed on a recognized exchange. Negotiated OTC derivative contracts are generally entered into
between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement terms, including the underlying
instrument, amount, exercise prices and maturity.

NOTE 15 ON BALANCE SHEET DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED):
Indexed Certificates of Deposit
During 2005, the Company began issuing to customers certificates of deposit with an interest rate
that is derived from the rate of return on the stock of the companies that comprise The Wall Street
Industrial Average. In order to manage the interest rate risk associated with this deposit
product, the Company has purchased a series of forward option contracts. These contracts provide
the Company with a rate of return commensurate with the return of The Wall Street Industrial
Average from the time of the contract until maturity of the related certificate of deposit. These
contracts are accounted for as fair value hedges. Because the certificates of deposit can be
redeemed by the customer at anytime and this related forward options contracts can not be cancelled
by the Company, the hedge is not considered effective.
At December 31, the information pertaining to the forward option contracts is as follows:
2007 | 2006 | |||||||
Notional amount |
$ | 552,778 | $ | 498,600 | ||||
Fair market value of contracts |
$ | 123,160 | $ | 102,022 |
NOTE 16 TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES:
During the year, officers and directors (and companies controlled by them) were customers of and
had transactions with the Company in the normal course of business. These transactions were made on
substantially the same terms as those prevailing for other customers and did not involve any
abnormal risk.
Loan transactions with related parties are shown in the following schedule:
2007 | 2006 | |||||||
Total loans, beginning of year |

NOTE 17 DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS ON SUBSIDIARY BANK:
The principal source of funds of F & M Bank Corp. is dividends paid by the Farmers and Merchants
Bank. The Federal Reserve Act restricts the amount of dividends the Bank may pay. Approval by the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is required if the dividends declared by a state
member bank, in any year, exceed the sum of (1) net income of the current year and (2) income net
of dividends for the preceding two years. As of January 1, 2008, approximately $2,211,000 was
available for dividend distribution without permission of the Board of Governors. Dividends paid
by the Bank to the Company totaled $2,516,000 in 2007, $3,019,000 in 2006 and $2,000,000 in 2005.

NOTE 18 DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107) Disclosures about the Fair Value of
Financial Statements defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which a
financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other
than in a forced liquidation or sale. As the majority of the Banks financial instruments lack an
available trading market, significant estimates, assumptions and present value calculations are
required to determine estimated fair value. Estimated fair value and the carrying value of
financial instruments at December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows (in thousands):

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, other investments, deposits with no stated
maturities, short-term borrowings, and accrued interest approximate fair value. The fair value of
securities was calculated using the most recent transaction price or a pricing model, which takes
into consideration maturity, yields and quality. The remaining financial instruments were valued
based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at various rates in effect
for similar instruments entered into during the month of December of each year.
NOTE 19 REGULATORY MATTERS:
The Company and its subsidiary 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 Companys financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Companys assets,
liabilities, and certain off balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The Companys capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
50
Table of Contents
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 19 REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED):
Quantitative measures established by regulation, to ensure capital adequacy, require the Company to
maintain minimum amounts and ratios. These ratios are defined in the regulations and the amounts
are set forth in the table below. Management believes, as of December 31, 2007, that the Company
and its subsidiary bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank Report of Examination (which was
as of May 10, 2006), the subsidiary bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company must
maintain minimum total risk based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in
the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the institutions category.
The Companys actual capital ratios are presented in the following table:

NOTE 20 INTANGIBLES:
Core deposit intangible costs recognized from the acquisition of the Woodstock and Edinburg
branches are being amortized using the straight-line method over a ten-year period. The core
deposit intangibles and goodwill totaled $5,472,153 at the acquisition date. Amortization expense
for the years ending December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $276,000 in each year.
NOTE 21 INVESTMENT IN LIFE INSURANCE CONTRACTS
The Bank currently offers a variety of benefit plans to all full time employees. While the costs of
these plans are generally tax deductible to the Bank, the cost has been escalating greatly in
recent years. To help offset escalating benefit costs and to attract and retain qualified
employees, the Bank purchased Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) contracts that will provide benefits
to employees during their lifetime. Dividends received on these policies are tax-deferred and the
death benefits under the policies are tax exempt. Rates of return on a tax-equivalent basis are
very favorable when compared to other long-term investments which the Bank might make.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
F & M Bank Corp. and Subsidiaries
Timberville, Virginia
F & M Bank Corp. and Subsidiaries
Timberville, Virginia
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of F & M Bank Corp. and Subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of income, retained
earnings and cash flows each of three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of F & M Bank Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December
31,2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, retained earnings as of January 1, 2006 have
been adjusted to reflect the adoption of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108.
We were not engaged to examine managements assertion about the effectiveness of F & M Bank
Corp.s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 included in their 2007
Form 10-K and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On January 20, 2005, F & M Bank Corp. (F&M or the Registrant) terminated the engagement of S.
B. Hoover & Company, LLP (SBH) as its independent auditor in order to engage SBH, which has
audited the Registrants financial statements since January 1, 1984, to perform the Registrants
internal audit function and assist the Registrant in preparing for compliance with the management
report on internal control required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This action was recommended
and approved by the Audit Committee of the Registrants Board of Directors.
On February 17, 2005, F & M Bank Corp. (Registrant) engaged Larrowe & Company, P.L.C. (Larrowe)
as the Registrants independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2006. This change in
auditors was recommended and approved by the Audit Committee of the Registrants Board of
Directors.
On November 17, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of F & M Bank Corp. (the
Company) was notified by the Companys independent accountants, Larrowe & Company, PLC
(Larrowe), that it had merged with the firm of Elliott Davis, LLC, effective on that date, and
that it would no longer operate or provide audit services as a separate entity. At a meeting held
on November 17, 2006, the Companys Audit Committee approved the engagement of Elliott Davis, LLC,
the successor firm in the merger, to serve as the Companys independent accountants for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2007.
Item 9A
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company, under the supervision and with the participation
of management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures
as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation,
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2007 to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Managements report on internal control over financial reporting and the audit report of the
Registered Public Accounting Firm for the year ended December 31, 2007 are included in Item 8 of
the annual report on Form 10-K.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management is also responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Companys financial reporting
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management has conducted an assessment
of the design and effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria
established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the assessment using these criteria,
management concluded that the internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2007.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Companys
internal control over financial reporting during the Companys quarter ended December 31, 2007 that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal
control over financial reporting.
