OUR  FUTURE  TOGETHER 

PRESIDENT'S  LETTER 

Dear  Stockholder: 

For  2010  we  showed  significant  earnings  improvement  over  2009.  This  was  in  spite  of  a 
continued  difficult  time  period  due  to  the  weak  economy.  The  real  estate  market,  which  is 
a  large  driver  of  our  economy,  continued  to  be  sluggish  with  foreclosures  dominating  the 
market,  which  in  turn  depressed  prices  and  hurt  consumer  confidence.  Unemployment 
stabilized  locally  but  still  remained  higher  than  normal. 

The  weak  economy  was  also  reflected  in  our  Nonperforming  Loans  ratio  which  increased  to 
3.06%  of Total Assets. We continue  to work with  our  problem  accounts  to lessen the  risk to  the 
Bank  and  at  the  same  time  give  our  customers  a chance  to  work  through  their  problems.  Net 
Charge  offs  for  the year were  .53%, which  are slightly less than  2009.  Our  charge  offs  continue 
to  run  at  approximately  one  half of our  national  peer  group  over  the  course  of 2009  and  2010. 

As  stated  above.  Net  Income  for  2010  was  $ 3 . 7 4 lM  which  was  an  increase  of  $1.787M.  This  increase  was  attributed  to  a 
significant  improvement  in  our  Securities  Portfolio,  which  reflected  a Security  Gain  of $349,000  versus a loss  (OTTI)  of  $1,754 
million  in  2009.  Bank  Only  eamings  also  increased  due  to  an  improvement  in  our  Net  Interest  Margin  and  a $10.7M  increase 
in  Loans  Held  for  Investment.  Our  F D IC  Assessments  stabilized  somewhat;  however,  there  was  still  some  increase  over  2009. 
We  continued  to  beef  up  our  contribution  to  the  Allowance  for  Loan  Losses,  which  ended  the  year  at  1.30%  of  Loans  versus 
.88%  at  2009  year  end.  We  felt  this  was  prudent  in  light  ofthe  increase  in  Nonperforming  Loans  and  the  continued  weakness 
in  the  economy.  Hopefully,  in  the  future  with  some  economic  improvement,  we can  reduce  our Allowance  contributions  which 
will  improve  earnings  further. 

Total Assets  actually  dropped  slightly;  however.  Shareholder  Equity  increased  to  S42M,  which was  an  increase  of  $3.227M  over 
year  end  2009.  Book  Value  per  share  increased  to  $18.31  compared  to  $16.99  at  the  end  of  2009.  All  o f o ur  Capital  Ratios 
remain  well  above  the  levels  to  be  considered  Well  Capitalized  by  our  Regulators.  The  issuance  of  our  Subordinated  Notes 
throughout  late  2009  and  2010  improved  our Total  Risk  Based  Capital  Ratio  to  13.51%  (10%  is considered  Well  Capitalized) 
at year  end  and  the  funds  received  from  our  recent  Rights  Offering  will  further  improve  both  our Tier  1 ratio  and  also our  Total 
Risk  Based  Ratio. This  puts  us  in  an  excellent  position  to  take  advantage  of  growth  potential  going  forward  as we  come  out  of 
the  economic  recession. 

For  more  detail  regarding  our  financial  performance  in  2010,1  encourage  you  to  review  the  enclosed  lOK. 

Last  year  was  not  a  time  for  significant  growth  in  Assets,  as  reflected  above  with  Total  Assets  remaining  level.  It  was  a  time 
to  continue  expanding  relationships  with  our  existing  customers  by  providing  products  they  needed  with  excellent  customer 
service.  We  have  stayed  up  to  date  with  new  technology,  such  as  Online  Banking,  Facebook,  etc.  We  are  in  the  process  of 
replacing  a few  ofour  older  ATMs,  which  will  have  more  up  to  date  features.  This  helps  us  to  attract  the  younger  generations, 
who  are  our  future;  however,  we  are  finding  more  and  more  of  the  mature  generations  using  this  technology  as well.  We  also 
have  not  forgotten  the  individuals  who  prefer  a  more  face  to  face  approach.  We  have  also  taken  advantage  of  new  technology 
available  on  the  operational  side,  which  makes  us  more  efficient.  Our  Efficiency  Ratio  of  57.23%  remained  under  our  goal  of 
6 0%  and  is significantly  lower  than  our  national  peer  group. 

Even  though  the  last  couple  of  years  have  been  tough  for  financial  institutions,  F &M  Bank  Corp.  has  fared  pretty  well, 
especially  compared  to  most  ofour  peers.  I  attribute  this  to  the  hard  work  and  dedication  ofour  staff  who  are  the  backbone  of 
our  organization.  I also want  to  thank  you  the  shareholders  for  your  confidence  in  us.  I  realize your  stock  price  has  dropped  off 
in  the  last  year;  however,  the  future  is  bright.  Nothing  in  life  is guaranteed,  but  with  our  stock  trading  at  historic  lows,  I  feel 
F &M  Bank  Corp.  is a good  investment  for  long  term  gain. 

I  hope  everyone  can  attend  the  shareholder  meeting  in  May where  we  can  fellowship  and  answer  any  questions  you  may  have.
