|Item 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cardinal Bankshares Corporation (the Company and Cardinal Bankshares), a Virginia corporation, is a bank holding company headquartered in Floyd, Virginia. The Company serves the marketplace
primarily through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Bank of Floyd (the Bank), a Virginia chartered, Federal Reserve member commercial bank. The Banks deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
FDIC) to the extent provided by law. Bank of Floyd is supervised and examined by the Federal Reserve and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the SCC). At
September 30, 2007, the Bank operated eight branch facilities in the counties of Floyd, Montgomery, Roanoke, Carroll, Pulaski and the City of Salem. The main office is in Floyd with a limited service office located in Willis. The Roanoke
offices are in the Cave Spring and Tanglewood Mall areas of Roanoke County. The Salem office is located on West Main Street in Salem, Virginia. The Hillsville office is located in Carroll County. The Christiansburg office serves Montgomery County.
On May 1, 2007 the bank opened its eighth branch in Pulaski County, Virginia serving the Fairlawn community.

Through Bank of Floyds network of
banking facilities, Cardinal Bankshares provides a wide range of commercial banking services to individuals, small to medium-sized businesses, institutions and governments located in Virginia. The Company conducts substantially all of the business
operations of a typical independent commercial bank, including the acceptance of checking and savings deposits, and the making of commercial, real estate, personal, home improvement, automobile and other installment loans. The Company also offers
other related services, such as travelers checks, safe deposit boxes, depositor transfer, customer note payment, collection, notary public, escrow, drive-in and ATM facilities, and other customary banking services. Cardinal Bankshares does not
offer trust services.

The following discussion provides information about the major components of the financial condition, results of operations, asset
quality, liquidity, and capital resources of Cardinal Bankshares. The discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets as of September 30, 2007 were $211.1 million, an increase of $3.3 million from
year-end 2006. Total loans declined 4.1% or $5.0 million during the first nine months of this year to $116.3 million.

The investment securities portfolio
reflected a net increase of $2.8 million. Federal funds sold increased $250 thousand during the first nine months of 2007.

As of September 30, 2007,
total deposits were $179.6 million, up approximately $2.3 million compared to year-end 2006. Non-interest-bearing core deposits increased $2.0 million to $30.3 million as compared to $28.3 million at year-end 2006. Interest-bearing deposits
increased .01% or 333 thousand to $149.3 million. Deposits greater than $100 thousand amounted to $55.1 million at September 30, 2007 as compared to $52.0 million at year-end 2006.

##### Table of Contents

Stockholders equity was $29.5 million as of September 30, 2007 compared to $28.4 million as of
December 31, 2006. Year-to-date net income of $1.7 million accounted for the major portion of the change in stockholders equity occurring over the first nine months of the year. Other factors affecting the change in stockholders
equity were the payment on June 30, 2007 of the Companys regular semi-annual cash dividend totaling $430 thousand, and the decline in accumulated other comprehensive income of $187 thousand caused by a decline in the market value of the
available for sale portion of the Companys investment portfolio. Management believes this decline in market value is a temporary decline.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $501 thousand, down 17.9% compared to $610 thousand for the three
months ended September 30, 2006. Diluted earnings per share decreased 17.5% to $.33 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the same period a year earlier was $.40.

Total interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 rose $228 thousand to $3.3 million compared to $3.1 million the same prior year quarter.
Noninterest income declined 6.1%, or $10 thousand to $177 as compared to the same prior year quarter at $187 thousand. Total interest expense increased $471 thousand to $1.5 million reflecting an increase in deposits due to the effect of certificate
of deposit promotions during the quarter and increased interest rates paid thereon. Noninterest expense remained level compared to the same prior year quarter at $1.3 million.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1.7 million, down 10.5% compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Diluted earnings per share decreased 8.9% to $1.12
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the same period a year earlier was $1.23.

Interest income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 was $9.7 million, up 11.1% from the $8.8 million reported a year earlier. This increase reflects the slight increase in overall portfolio yield when compared to the same period a year earlier. Total interest
expense rose $1.5 million compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. Net interest income after the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $335 thousand to $5.3 million.

Total noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 showed an increase of $109 thousand due primarily to an increase in other operating income.
Total noninterest expense for the comparable nine-month periods ended September 30 increased to $3.9 million.

ASSET QUALITY

The allowance for loan losses represents managements estimate of an amount adequate to absorb potential future losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In assessing
the adequacy of the allowance, management relies predominately on its ongoing review of the lending process and the risk characteristics of the portfolio in the aggregate. Among other factors, management considers the Companys loan loss
experience, the amount of past-due loans, current and anticipated economic conditions, and the estimated current values of collateral securing loans in assessing the level of the allowance for loan losses. In the first nine months of 2007, the
provision for loan losses was $20 thousand as compared to $165 thousand provision for the same period in 2006. Based upon managements periodic reviews of the loan portfolio using the above mentioned factors, the current year increase in the
provision for loan losses was felt appropriate. Management believes the provision recorded in 2007 maintains the allowance at a level adequate to cover potential losses.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $1.7 million at September 30, 2007. The allowance for loan losses to period end loans was 1.45% at September 30, 2007 compared to 1.33% and 1.29% at December 31,
2006 and September 30, 2006, respectively. The Company had net recoveries on loans in the amount of $52 thousand during the first nine month of 2007. This compares with net recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $26
thousand.

inherent in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the loan loss reserve and the related provision are based upon managements evaluation of the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions with consideration to
such factors as financial condition of the borrowers, collateral values, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance to outstanding loans and delinquency trends.

While management uses all available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.
Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Companys 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.

Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past
due, and other real estate owned, were $861 thousand as of September 30, 2007 compared to $869 thousand as of December 31, 2006. Management does not expect to incur any additional material losses related to nonperforming assets. As of
September 30, 2007 the companys impaired loans with a valuation allowance amounted to $3.4 million, unchanged from December 31, 2006. The valuation allowance related to the loans was $749 thousand at September 30, 2007 and $743
thousand at December 31, 2006.

LIQUIDITY

In
determining the Companys liquidity requirements, both sides of the balance sheet are managed to ensure that adequate funding sources are available to support loan growth, deposit withdrawals or any unanticipated need for funds.

Securities available for sale that mature within one year, or securities that have a weighted average life of one year or less are sources of liquidity. Anticipated
mortgage-backed securities pay downs and maturing loans also generate cashflows to meet liquidity requirements. Wholesale funding sources are also used to supply liquidity such as federal funds purchased and large denomination certificates of
deposit. The Company considers its sources of liquidity to be adequate to meet its anticipated needs.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cardinal Bankshares capital position provides the necessary assurance required to support anticipated asset growth and to absorb potential losses.

The Companys Tier I capital position was $30.0 million at September 30, 2007, or 21.88% of risk-weighted assets. Total risk-based capital was $31.7 million or
23.13% of risk-weighted assets

Tier I capital consists primarily of common stockholders equity, while total risk-based capital includes the
allowance for loan losses. Risk weighted assets are determined by assigning various levels of risk to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet activities. To be well capitalized under current risk-based capital standards, all banks are
required to have Tier I capital of at least 4% and total capital of 8%. Based on these standards, Cardinal Bankshares is categorized as well capitalized at September 30, 2007.

In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, banking regulatory agencies have adopted leverage capital ratio requirements. The leverage ratio  or core capital to assets ratio  works in tandem with the
risk-capital guidelines. The minimum leverage ratios range from three to five percent. At September 30, 2007, the Companys leverage capital ratio was 14.33%.

A WARNING ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. The Company may also
make written forward-looking statements in periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, proxy statements, offering circulars and prospectuses, press releases and other written materials and oral statements made by

##### Table of Contents

Cardinal Bankshares officers, directors or employees to third parties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the
Companys beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on beliefs and assumptions of the Companys management, and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include
statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words believes, expects, estimates, anticipates, plans, or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date
they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

Forward-looking
statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Management cautions the readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include, but
are not limited to, the following: competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly; changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins; general economic or business conditions may lead to a
deterioration in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit; legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely affect the business in which Cardinal Bankshares is engaged; changes may occur in the
securities markets; and competitors of the Company may have greater financial resources and develop products that enable such competitors to compete more successfully than Cardinal Bankshares.

Other factors that may cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements include the following: the timely development of competitive new products and
services by the Company and the acceptance of such products and services by customers; changes in consumer spending and savings habits; the effects of competitors pricing policies; the Companys success in managing the costs associated
with the expansion of existing distribution channels and developing new ones, and in realizing increased revenues from such distribution channels, including cross-selling initiatives; and mergers and acquisitions and their integration into the
Company and managements ability to manage these other risks.

Management of Cardinal Bankshares believes these forward-looking statements are
reasonable; however undue reliance should not be placed on such forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations.

Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The future results and stockholder values of Cardinal Bankshares may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained in
this report. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond the Companys ability to control or predict.



|Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

The
principal goals of the Companys asset and liability management strategy are the maintenance of adequate liquidity and the management of interest rate risk. Liquidity is the ability to convert assets to cash to fund depositors withdrawals
or borrowers loans without significant loss. Interest rate risk management seeks to balance the effects of interest rate changes on assets that earn interest or liabilities on which interest is paid, to protect the Company from wide
fluctuations in its net interest income.

Management must insure that adequate funds are available at all times to meet the needs of its customers. On the
asset side of the balance sheet, maturing investments, loan payments, maturing loans, federal funds sold, and unpledged investment securities are principal sources of liquidity. On the liability side of the balance sheet, liquidity sources include
core deposits, the ability to increase large denomination certificates, federal funds lines from correspondent banks, borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank, as well as the ability to generate funds through the
issuance of long-term debt and equity.

Interest rate risk is the effect that changes in interest rates would have on interest income and interest expense
as interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities either reprice or mature. Management attempts to maintain the portfolios of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with maturities or repricing opportunities at levels that
will afford protection from erosion of net interest margin, to the extent practical, from changes in interest rates.

The Company uses a number of tools to manage its interest rate risk, including simulating net interest income under
various scenarios, monitoring the present value change in equity under the same scenarios, and monitoring the difference or gap between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities over various time periods.

The earnings simulation model forecasts annual net income under a variety of scenarios that incorporate changes in absolute level of interest rates, changes in the shape
of the yield curve and changes in interest rate relationships. Management evaluates the effect on net interest income from gradual changes in the Prime Rate of up to 200 basis points up or down over a 12-month period. The current model indicates
that an increase in rates of 200 basis points over the next twelve months would result in an increase in net interest income of $926 thousand, or 12.74%, while a similar decrease in rates would result in a decrease in net interest income of $866
thousand, or 11.90%. The model also incorporates managements forecasts for balance sheet growth, noninterest income and noninterest expense. The interest rate scenarios are used for analytical purposes and do not represent managements
view of future market movements. Rather, these are intended to provide a measure of the degree of volatility interest rate movements may apply to the earnings of the Company. Modeling the sensitivity of earnings to interest rate risk is highly
dependent on numerous assumptions embedded in the simulation model. While the earnings sensitivity analysis incorporates managements best estimate of interest rate and balance sheet dynamics under various market rate movements, the actual
behavior and resulting earning impact likely will differ from projected.

Additional qualitative information about interest rate risk is included in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There have not been any material changes since December 31, 2006.



|Item 4T. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------- | -----------------------

As of the end of the period covered by
this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, including internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer supervised this evaluation and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Subsequent to this evaluation, (i) there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect our disclosure controls and procedures and (ii) we have not taken any corrective actions with regard to our disclosure controls and procedures to correct any significant deficiencies and weaknesses.

The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goal under every potential condition, regardless of how remote. In addition, the operation of any system of controls and procedures is dependent upon the employees responsible for executing it. While we have evaluated
the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and found them effective, there can be no assurance that they will succeed in every instance to achieve their objective.

|        |  | The Company was named as a defendant in a complaint filed by a former employee with the United States Department of Labor (DOL) in 2002 under Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
relating to so-called whistleblowers. The Companys position is that the former employee was lawfully terminated by the Companys Board of Directors and that Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act did not apply to his
termination. The Companys position was initially upheld by the DOL but a DOL Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) reversed the earlier decision and entered a decision in favor of the former employee. The ALJ, among other things, ordered the employee
to be reinstated while the case was awaiting final decision by the DOL. The Company appealed the ALJ decision to the DOLs Administrative Review Board (ARB), which accepted the appeal. The Company refused to reinstate the former
employee pending a final decision by the DOL. The former employee twice filed suit against the Company in the US District Court in Roanoke to enforce the ALJs so called preliminary order of reinstatement. The Company and its Board of Directors
vigorously opposed these efforts and in each case the District Court refused to enforce the ALJs preliminary order. The DOL and the former employee appealed the last of these District Court decisions in favor of the Company to the United
States 4thCircuit Court of Appeals. While this appeal has been pending, the DOL, through the ARB issued a final decision on May 31, 2007 dismissing the
former employees Sarbanes-Oxley complaint in its entirety and rendering a final decision in the Companys favor. Because of this final decision, the Company has moved to dismiss as moot the 4thCircuit appeal by the former employee and DOL relating to the District Courts refusal to enforce the ALJs preliminary reinstatement order now that the DOL has issued a
final decision in the Companys favor. The former employee has appealed to the 4thCircuit the DOLs final decision throwing out his

10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
