NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 5 BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE (BOLI): 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. The Bank has determined that the benefits offered are necessary in order to attract and retain good employees. To help offset the growth in these costs, the Bank decided to enter into BOLI contracts. Dividends received on these policies are tax-deferred and are anticipated to be tax exempt as the death benefits under the policies are exempt from income taxation. Rates of return on a tax-equivalent basis are very favorable when compared to other long-term assets which the Bank could obtain. 10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations F & M Bank Corp. (Company) is a one-bank holding company organized under Virginia law which provides financial services through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Farmers & Merchants Bank (Bank) and TEB Life Insurance Company (TEB). Farmers & Merchants Financial Services (FMFS) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. The Bank is a full service commercial bank offering a wide range of banking and financial services through its seven branch offices. Two new branches have been approved by the regulatory authorities. One office is approximately two miles east of the Harrisonburg city limits on Route 33. This office will be owned by the Bank and is currently under construction. The second office will be located on Port Republic Road in Harrisonburg. It is a leased facility; build out of the existing shell will begin during the fourth quarter. Both offices are expected to open during the first half of 2006. Also, during the third quarter of 2005, the Bank began operating a courier service which picks up commercial deposits on a daily basis in the Harrisonburg area. TEB reinsures credit life and accident and health insurance sold by the Bank in connection with its lending activities. FMFS provides title insurance, brokerage services and property/casualty insurance to customers of the Bank. The Company's primary trade area services customers in Rockingham County, Shenandoah County, the southern part of Page County and the northern part of Augusta County. Management's discussion and analysis is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The analysis focuses on the consolidated financial statements, footnotes, and other financial data presented. The discussion highlights material changes from prior reporting periods and any identifiable trends which may affect the Company. Amounts have been rounded for presentation purposes. 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 1, Part 1 or this Form 10Q. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements in this report may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualified words (and their derivatives) such as "expect," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "project," or other statements concerning opinions or judgment of the Company and its management about future events. Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to certain forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the effects of and changes in: general economic conditions, the interest rate environment, legislative and regulatory requirements, competitive pressures, new products and delivery systems, inflation, changes in the stock and bond markets, technology, and consumer spending and savings habits. We do not update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company. 11 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Critical Accounting Policies General The Company's 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. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. The Company uses historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in its loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that are used. The fair value of the investment portfolio is based on period end valuations but changes daily with the market. 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. 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. 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 is 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 will be subject to at least 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. Core deposit intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. 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. 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 total market. Expectations are developed regarding potential returns from dividend reinvestment and price appreciation over a reasonable holding period (five years). 12 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Overview Net income for the third quarter of 2005 was $1,210,000 or $.50 per share, compared to $1,092,000 or $.45 in the third quarter of 2004, an increase of 10.81%. Core operating earnings, (exclusive of securities transactions, net of tax effect) totaled $1,230,000 in 2005 and $1,034,000 in 2004, an increase of 18.96%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net income was $3,524,000 or $1.46 per share compared to $3,167,000 or $1.31 in 2004. This was an increase of 11.27%. During the third quarter, noninterest income, exclusive of securities transactions, increased 19.12% and noninterest expense increased 12.78% during the same period. Results of Operations Year to Date The 2005 year to date tax equivalent net interest margin increased $1,134,000 or 13.33% compared to the same period 2004. The yield on earning assets increased .41%, while the cost of funds increased .39% compared to the same period in 2004. These increases resulted as maturing assets and liabilities began repricing at higher rates. Following two and a half years of accommodative monetary policy by the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC); which began in January 2001, the FOMC reversed its monetary policy by stating "With underlying inflation still expected to be relatively low, the Committee believes that policy accommodation can be removed at a pace that is likely to be measured." The FOMC has raised the federal funds target rate from 1.00% to 4.00% in .25% increments beginning in June 2004 and continuing with each successive meeting, including November 2005. Although the Interest Sensitivity Analysis on page 20 indicates the Company is in a liability sensitive position in the one year time horizon, management anticipates the increase in rates should prove beneficial to the net interest margin in future periods. A large portion of rate sensitive liabilities (checking and savings) do not reprice immediately with changes in market rates, but are adjusted at the discretion of management based on funding needs and competitive factors. A schedule of the net interest margin for 2005 and 2004 can be found in Table I on page 19. Noninterest income, exclusive of securities transactions, increased $380,000 or 23.49% through three quarters of 2005. Items contributing to the increase include a $104,000 increase in overdraft fees, a $30,000 increase in card-related (credit, debit, merchant and ATM) fees, a $123,000 increase in secondary market loan origination fees and a $106,000 increase in returns on low income housing investments. The returns on these investments are principally in the form of tax credits and included $93,000 related to the recognition of deferred state tax credits. These credits have been classified as a return on investment rather than as a reduction of income tax expense. This has been done to reflect the fact that the Company entered into these investments with the expectation that tax credits would be the primary source of investment return and to avoid a distortion of income tax expense for the period. 13 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Noninterest expense increased $616,000 in 2005. Of the total, $250,000 (a 7.60% increase) can be attributed to salaries and employee benefits. This increase includes normal salary increases, growth in staff, and an increase in the cost of group insurance of 14.62% Exclusive of personnel expenses, other noninterest expenses increased at an annualized rate of 15.33% in 2005 compared to 2004. Areas of increase include $31,000 in audit and examination fees, $34,000 in FDIC insurance assessment, $65,000 in legal and professional fees, $34,000 in bank franchise tax, $40,000 in ATM and data processing expenses, and $26,000 in postage, freight and supplies. Noninterest expense as an annualized percentage of average assets equals 2.24% and is comparable to the prior year. Operating costs continue to compare very favorably to the peer group. As stated in the most recently available Bank Holding Company Performance Report, peer group noninterest expenses averaged approximately 3.02% of average assets. The Company's operating costs have always compared favorably to the peer group due to an excellent asset to employee ratio and below average facilities costs. Quarter Ending September 30 The Company's net income increased $118,000 to $1.210 million compared to the third quarter of 2004. After adjusting to exclude securities transactions, core earnings and earnings per share increased $196,000 or 18.96%. Net interest income increased $449,000, while the tax equivalent net interest margin increased 21 basis points to 4.00%. The growth in the margin is a result of volume increases as earning assets increased $32,305,000 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average balance of loans held for investment increased $45,619,000. Loans held for sale consist of short term mortgage participations that have an average life of approximately fifteen days. These loans have been funded primarily though an increase in short-term debt (overnight borrowings). The growth in the loan portfolio within the Bank's primary service areas was funded through a combination of a decrease in interest bearing bank deposits, a decrease in the securities portfolio of the Bank and deposit growth. Noninterest income, exclusive of securities transactions, increased 19.12% due primarily to substantially higher income from overdraft fees (up $57,000) and secondary market mortgage origination income (up $53,000). Personnel expenses increased 11.43% and other noninterest expenses increased 14.58% in the quarter for the same reasons cited in the nine month discussion. Financial Condition Federal Funds Sold and Interest Bearing Bank Deposits The Company's subsidiary bank invests a portion of its excess liquidity in either federal funds sold or interest bearing bank deposits. Federal funds sold offer daily liquidity and pay market rates of interest that at quarter end was benchmarked at 3.75% by the Federal Reserve. Actual rates received vary slightly based upon money supply and demand among banks. Interest bearing bank deposits are held either in money market accounts or as short-term certificates of deposits. Balances in interest bearing bank deposits have decreased due to growth in the loan portfolio. 14 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Securities The Company's securities portfolio serves several purposes. Portions of the portfolio are held to assist the Company with liquidity, asset liability management, as security for certain public funds and repurchase agreements and for long-term growth potential. The securities portfolio consists of investment securities (commonly referred to as "securities held to maturity") and securities available for sale. Securities are classified as investment securities when management has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Investment securities are carried at amortized cost. Securities available for sale include securities that may be sold in response to general market fluctuations, liquidity needs and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are recorded at market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported (net of deferred income taxes) as a separate component of shareholders' equity. As of September 30, 2005, the cost of all securities available for sale exceeded their market value by $613,000. This includes declines in value in both the equity securities held by the Company and in the value of government obligations held by the Bank. Declines in the value of the bond portfolio are the result of recent changes in short term rates within the market for fixed income securities. Management has traditionally held debt securities (regardless of classification) until maturity and thus it does not expect the fluctuations in value of these securities to have a direct impact on earnings. Investments in debt securities decreased $1,815,000 in the first nine months of 2005; this decrease was the result of pool pay downs on mortgage backed securities and the previously mentioned declines in market values due to rising short term rates. The remainder of the portfolio is made up of primarily agency and mortgage-backed securities with an average portfolio life of approximately one and quarter years. This short average life results in less portfolio volatility and positions the Bank to redeploy assets in response to rising rates. Scheduled maturities in 2006 total $12,000,000 and these bonds have and average yield of approximately 2.75%. Based on current market rates, as these bonds mature, the funds will be reinvested at rates that are approximately 200 BP higher. The Company's equity securities portfolio was $188,000 below cost at September 30, 2005. Gains totaling $31,000 have been taken within the equities portfolio during 2005. The decline in the value of the equities portfolio is consistent with the overall market volatility during the first nine months of the year. To minimize risk the Company holds a diversified portfolio of equity investments in a number of large, regional financial institutions, a diversified portfolio of REITs and a variety of other predominantly blue-chip securities. Management continues to believe that these investments offer adequate current returns (dividends) and have the potential for future increases in value. A review of these investments as of September 30, 2005, revealed one investment that appeared to be impaired based on the criteria management has employed for the last several years to assess impairment. The security was written down by $32,000 ($21,000 net of tax). No other security was impaired as of quarter end and management continues to re-evaluate the portfolio for impairment on a quarterly basis. 15 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Loan Portfolio The Company operates in a predominately rural area that includes the counties of Rockingham, Page and Shenandoah in the western portion of Virginia. The local economy benefits from a variety of businesses including agri-business, manufacturing, service businesses and several universities/colleges. The Bank is an active residential mortgage and residential construction lender and generally makes commercial loans to small and mid size businesses and farms within its primary service area. The allowance for loan losses (see subsequent section) provides for the risk that borrowers will be unable to repay their obligations and is reviewed quarterly for adequacy. The risk associated with real estate and installment notes to individuals is based upon employment, the local and national economies and consumer confidence. All of these affect the ability of borrowers to repay indebtedness. The risk associated with commercial lending is substantially based on the strength of the local and national economies. While lending is geographically diversified within the service area, the Company does have loan concentrations in agricultural (primarily poultry farming), construction, hotels, churches, assisted living facilities and the aforementioned mortgage participations. Management and the Board of Directors review these concentrations quarterly. Management has entered into an agreement with Gateway Bank (of California) to purchase short-term real estate loan participations. These loans have been purchased by Gateway from mortgage brokers and will be held until sold to the ultimate holder in the secondary market. All loans have firm take-out commitments and are held for periods ranging from two to sixty days, but averaging approximately fifteen days. These loans originate in several states throughout the country, however, a significant portion are from the state of California. These loans have been included with mortgage loans that the Bank has originated within its own market and designated on the balance sheet as "Loans Held for Sale". Management has funded its loans for sale through the use of short-term borrowings from the FHLB. The yield on these loans is based on a discount to the prime rate, but offers a premium over other comparable short-term investments. During the third quarter, these loan participations have averaged $28,978,000, with a maximum and quarter end balance of 42,823,000 and $22,354,000, respectively. The Bank has made a commitment to purchase up to a maximum of $45,000,000 of these loans. The first nine months of 2005 resulted in an increase of $31,800,000 in the Bank's core loan portfolio. The increase in the loan portfolio is reflective of the strong local economy. The growth has been concentrated within the real estate portfolio, both residential and commercial properties. Within the last year and a half, the bank hired two commercial lenders that brought experience from larger regional banks. Both these lenders have been successful in bringing loan customers from their former banks which has added to the recent growth in the portfolio. 16 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due and restructured loans. Nonaccrual loans are loans on which interest accruals have been suspended or discontinued permanently. Restructured loans are loans which have had the original interest rate or repayment terms changed due to financial hardship. Nonperforming loans totaled $1,142,000 at September 30, 2005 compared to $2,243,000 at December 31, 2004. Approximately 90% of these past due loans are secured by real estate. Although the potential exists for some loan losses, management believes the bank is generally well secured and continues to actively work with its customers to effect payment. As of September 30, 2005, the Company does not hold any real estate which was acquired through foreclosure. The following is a summary of information pertaining to risk elements and impaired loans: September 30, December 31, 2005 2004 ----------- --------- Nonaccrual loans $ 229,000 $ 864,000 Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest 913,000 1,379,000 Restructured loans 0 0 -------- -------- $1,142,000 $2,243,000 Percent of loans held for investment .41% .90% Allowance for Loan Losses Management evaluates the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis in light of national and local economic trends, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio and the trend of past due and criticized loans. Specific factors evaluated include internally generated loan review reports, past due reports, historical loan loss experience and changes in the financial strength of individual borrowers that have been included on the Banks watch list or schedule of classified loans. 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, the industry in which the borrower is involved and economic factors. Loan relationships that are determined to have no impairment are placed back into the appropriate loan pool and reviewed under FAS 5. Loan pools are further segmented into watch list, past due over 90 days and all other loans by type. 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 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 loss rates over the prior five years. 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 reserve has been established to reflect other unidentified losses within the portfolio. This helps to offset 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 the following quarter based on this evaluation and an effort is made to keep the actual allowance at or above the midpoint of the range established by the evaluation process. 17 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) The allowance for loan losses of $1,634,000 at September 30, 2005 is equal to .58% of loans held for investment. This compares to an allowance of $1,511,000 (.61%) at December 31, 2004. Management has funded the allowance at a rate of $30,000 per month throughout the year of 2005, for a total of $270,000. Total charge-offs, net of recoveries, equal $147,000 year to date. This is equivalent to an annualized loss rate of .07% of total loans. In recent years, the company has had an average loss rate of .08% which is less than one half the loss rate of its peer group. The overall level of the allowance is well below its peer group average. 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. Deposits and Other Borrowings The Company's main source of funding is comprised of deposits received from individuals, governmental entities and businesses located within the Company's service area. Deposit accounts include demand deposits, savings, money market and certificates of deposit. Total deposits have increased $15,028,000 since December 31, 2004. Time deposits increased $13,066,000 during this period while demand deposits and savings deposits increased $1,962,000. Due to the growth in its loan portfolio and competition for deposits within its market, the Bank has advertised two short term certificate of deposit rate specials to attract new funds. The Bank also continues to advertise a free checking account product. The growth in deposits appears to be a result of advertising of these accounts. Short-term debt Short-term debt consists of federal funds purchased, commercial repurchase agreements (repos.) and daily rate credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). Commercial customers deposit operating funds into their checking account and by mutual agreement with the bank their excess funds are swept daily into the repurchase accounts. These accounts are not considered deposits and are not insured by the FDIC. The Bank pledges securities held in its investment portfolio as collateral for these short-term loans. Federal funds purchased are overnight borrowings obtained from the Bank's primary correspondent bank to manage short-term liquidity needs. Daily rate credit from the FHLB has been used to finance loans held for sale and also to finance the increase in short-term residential and commercial construction loans. Long-term debt Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB) continue to be an important source of funding real estate loan growth. The Company's subsidiary bank borrows funds on a fixed rate basis. These borrowings are used to fund either a fifteen-year fixed rate loan or a twenty-year loan, of which the first ten years have a fixed rate. This program allows the Bank to match the maturity of its fixed rate real estate portfolio with the maturity of its debt and thus reduce its exposure to interest rate changes. Scheduled repayments totaled $5,646,000 through September 30, 2005. Additional borrowings of $5,000,000 were obtained to assist in funding the growth in the loans held for investment. 18 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued) In September 2002, the Company borrowed $3 million from SunTrust Bank. This loan carries an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.10% and is variable. Payments of $230,769 plus interest began in the second quarter of 2004 and will continue for a period of thirteen quarters. Proceeds of this loan were used primarily to provide a capital contribution to the Bank. Capital The Company seeks to maintain a strong capital base to expand facilities, promote public confidence, support current operations and grow at a manageable level. As of September 30, 2005, the Company's total risk based capital and total capital to total assets ratios were 13.37% and 9.76%, respectively. Both ratios are in excess of regulatory minimums and exceed the ratios of the Company's peers. Earnings have been satisfactory to allow an increase in the third quarter dividend in 2005 of 5.26%. Liquidity Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, investments and loans maturing within one year. The Company's ability to obtain deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates determines its liquidity exposure. As a result of the Company's management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors' requirements and meet its customers' credit needs. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include, but are not limited to, loan repayments, the ability to obtain deposits through the adjustment of interest rates and the purchasing of federal funds. To further meet its liquidity needs, the Company also maintains lines of credit with correspondent financial institutions. The Company's subsidiary bank also has a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta that allows for secured borrowings. Interest Rate Sensitivity In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level of liquidity, management must also control the degree of interest rate risk assumed on the balance sheet. Managing this risk involves regular monitoring of interest sensitive assets relative to interest sensitive liabilities over specific time intervals. The Company monitors its interest rate sensitivity periodically and makes adjustments as needed. There are no off balance sheet items that will impair future liquidity. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had a cumulative Gap Rate Sensitivity Ratio of (4.44%) for the one year repricing period. This generally indicates that earnings would decrease in an increasing interest rate environment as liabilities reprice more quickly than assets. However, in actual practice, this may not be the case as loans tied to the prime rate of interest will reprice immediately with an increase in short term market rates, while deposit rates will remain stable until competitive market conditions dictate the necessity for an increase in rates. Management constantly monitors the Company's interest rate risk and has decided the current position is acceptable for a well-capitalized community bank. A summary of asset and liability repricing opportunities is shown in Table II. Stock Repurchase On June 12, 2003, the Board authorized the repurchase of 50,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. Management has been authorized to repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions when market conditions warrant. The repurchased shares are accounted for as retired stock. Through the end of the third quarter of 2005, a total of 31,189 shares have been repurchased and retired. During the third quarter of 2005 4,328 shares were repurchased, at an average cost of $24.68 per share. Effect of Newly Issued Accounting Standards The Company does not believe that any newly issued but as yet unapplied accounting standards will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or operations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not Applicable Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, issuers such as F & M Bank Corp. that file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") are required to include in those reports certain information concerning the issuer's controls and procedures for complying with the disclosure requirements of the federal securities laws. These disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Act, is communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have established our disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information related to the Company is made known to our principal executive officers and principal financial officer on a regular basis, in particular during the periods in which our quarterly and annual reports are being prepared. These disclosure controls and procedures consist principally of communications between and among the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, and the other executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries to identify any new transactions, events, trends, contingencies or other matters that may be material to the Company's operations. As required, we will evaluate the effectiveness of these disclosure controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, and most recently did so as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective for purposes of Rule 13(a)-14(e) and timely, alerting them to financial information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Changes in Internal Controls During the period reported upon, there were no significant changes in F & M Bank Corp.'s internal controls pertaining to its financial reporting and control of its assets or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls since the date of their evaluation. Due to the nature of the Company's business as stewards of assets of customers; internal controls are of the utmost importance. The Company has established procedures during the normal course of business to reasonably ensure that fraudulent activity of either a material amount to these results or in any amount is not occurring. In addition to these controls and review by executive officers, the Company retains the services of S. B. Hoover, LLP, a public accounting firm, to complete regular internal audits, which examine the processes and procedures of the Company and the Bank to ensure that these processes are reasonably effective to prevent internal or external fraud and that the processes comply with relevant regulatory guidelines of all relevant banking authorities. The findings of S. B. Hoover are presented to management of the Bank and to the Audit Committee of the Company. 22 Part II Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings - Not Applicable Item 2.
