Farmers & Merchants Bancshares, Inc. (FMFG) is a Maryland commercial bank holding company with $862.9 million in total assets as of March 31, 2026, down $9.0 million (1.0%) from $872.0 million at December 31, 2025. Under the liquidation lens, the MFFAIS CLV/LLV/OLV is reported at $33.4 million against book equity of $66.1 million, reflecting the standard bank liquidation discount where loan portfolio haircuts and the face-value treatment of deposit and borrowing obligations compress recovery well below book. The primary asset driving recovery is the net loan portfolio at $628.3 million (gross $633.6 million), of which 68% is commercial real estate and 19% residential real estate. Applying a blended 60-70% recovery rate to the loan book (subordinated by $62.7 million FHLB advances with pledged collateral, $12.5 million in subordinated notes at face, and $711.3 million in deposits at face) materially erodes equity recovery. The ACL of $4.5 million is 0.70% of gross loans, thin relative to the $39.3 million watch list exposure (Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful), though charge-offs in Q1 2026 were zero. Investment securities of $133.7 million (84% AFS, 16% HTM) carry unrealized losses embedded in AOCI, which reduces stated equity; the AFS portion would be marked to market in a liquidation scenario, adding further downward pressure. Goodwill and other intangibles, if any, would be zeroed. The $12.5 million subordinated notes (7.875% fixed to September 2030, then SOFR+458bps, maturity 2035) issued September 2025 represent a new structurally subordinated liability at the holdco level that sits junior to deposits but senior to common equity in a wind-up, consuming recovery cushion. FHLB advances of $62.7 million are secured by pledged residential and commercial loans, meaning those collateral pools are ring-fenced from unsecured creditors and general depositors. Uninsured deposits of approximately $196.9 million (27.7% of total deposits) represent a run-risk concentration not reflected in the face-value liability stack but relevant to forced liquidation sequencing. The filing does not separately tag XBRL values for balance-sheet line items in the TAG_CONTEXT provided, so all figures are sourced from the MD&A and narrative disclosures. Key changes from the prior period (December 31, 2025, per the 10-K): deposits declined $9.2 million driven by $8.5 million brokered CD paydown (a positive credit quality signal, reducing wholesale funding reliance), construction/land development loans decreased $4.1 million, and AOCI worsened by $500 thousand (unrealized loss expansion). Stockholders' equity increased $1.4 million to $66.1 million on $1.8 million net income partially offset by the AOCI deterioration. No XBRL tags were emitted in TAG_CONTEXT for this filing period; accordingly, no tag-level insights are included.
