FMS FINANCIAL REPORTS CORRECTED 1st QUARTER EARNINGS



Burlington,  New Jersey, (April 25, 2005) - FMS Financial  Corporation,  (NASDAQ
Symbol:  "FMCO") is reporting a correction to its quarterly net income  reported
earlier today in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended
March 31,  2005.  While the first  paragraph  of the  Company's  earnings  press
release issued today correctly sets forth net income for the quarter ended March
31, 2005, due to a typographical error, the Company's Consolidated Statements of
Operations  for the  period  ended  March  31,  2005,  released  earlier  today,
overstated net income for the first quarter by approximately  $300,000. This was
due to total  expense  for  purchased  services  being  incorrectly  reported at
$397,183  when it should  have been  reported at  $697,183  under  "NON-INTEREST
EXPENSE" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  Therefore,  corrected net
income and diluted earnings per share totaled $1,701,234 or $.26,  respectively.
The attached  Consolidated  Statement of Operations  for the quarter ended March
31, 2005, has been corrected for this typographical error.
