made. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year or any other interim period. The information reported herein should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentations.

consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, the Bank and FBC, Inc. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purpose of presentation in the consolidated
statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet caption cash and due from banks.

Subsequent Events

In preparing these financial statements, the Company has
evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)





Note 4. Employee Benefit Plan

The Bank has a qualified noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan, which covers substantially all of its employees. Effective
October 1, 2009 the Bank terminated its single employer plan with the Virginia Bankers Association (VBA). In conjunction with this transaction, the Bank adopted the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (Pentegra), a
multiemployer plan. All plan assets and liabilities were transferred from the VBA plan to the Pentegra Plan. GAAP states the determining factor for recording pension expense or a liability for employers participating in a multiemployer plan is the
amount of the contribution required for the period. The benefits are primarily based on years of service and earnings. The following is a summary of the components of the net periodic benefit cost.

Note 5. Fair Value (continued)





Generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) provides a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available for sale investment
securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for
an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value
hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a
recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair
value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value
Hierarchy

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and
liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value. These levels are:



|        |  |   |  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|------- |  | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Level 1 |  | - |  | Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|        |  |  
|Level 2 |  | - |  | Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based
valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.                                                                                                          
|        |  |  
|Level 3 |  | - |  | Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values
are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the securitys credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss
assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities
include mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Note 5. Fair Value (continued)





Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan
loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principle will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management
measures impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not
requiring a specific allowance represents loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral
require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observerable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not
available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed
assets are adjusted for fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the
collateral or managements estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2.
When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset at nonrecurring Level
3.

Assets and Liabilities
Recorded as Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value
on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U. S generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured
at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below:

Restricted equity securities, carried at cost, consist of investments in stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
(FHLB) and The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (Federal Reserve), which are upstream correspondents of the Bank. The FHLB requires financial institutions to make equity investments in the FHLB in order to borrow from it. The Bank is
required to hold that stock so long as it borrows from the FHLB. The Federal Reserve requires banks to purchase stock as a condition of membership in the Federal Reserve system.

Investment securities with amortized cost of approximately $7.1 million and $8.4 million at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, were pledged as collateral on public deposits
and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

Management considers the nature of the investment, the underlying causes of the decline in market or fair value, the
severity and duration of the decline and other evidence, on a security-by-security basis, in determining if the decline in fair value is other than temporary.

At September 30, 2010 the Company had 1 state and municipal securities with an aggregate unrealized loss of approximately $13 thousand, 20 mortgaged-backed securities with an aggregate unrealized
loss of approximately $126 thousand and 6 other securities with an aggregate unrealized loss of approximately $228 thousand. Management does not believe that gross unrealized losses, which totals 3.10% of the amortized costs of the related
investment securities, represent an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company has both the ability and the intent to hold all of these securities for a period of time necessary to recover the amortized cost.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had 5 government-sponsored securities with an aggregate unrealized loss of approximately $35 thousand, 11 state
and municipal securities with an aggregate unrealized loss of approximately $178 thousand, 12 mortgaged-backed securities with an aggregate unrealized loss of approximately $135 thousand and 8 other securities with an aggregate unrealized loss of
approximately $590 thousand. Management does not believe that gross unrealized losses, which totals 4.91% of the amortized costs of the related investment securities, represent an other-than-temporary impairment.

|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, 2010, the Bank operated seven branch facilities in the counties of Floyd, Montgomery, Roanoke, Pulaski and Carroll. The main office is in Floyd with a limited service office located in Willis. The Roanoke office is in the Cave
Spring area 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. The Banks Pulaski County office is
located in 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.

Critical Accounting Policy

Management believes the policy with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses involve a high degree of complexity.
Management must make difficult and subjective judgments, assumptions or estimates that could cause reported results to differ materially. This critical policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and Board of
Directors.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets as of September 30, 2010 were $249.2 million, an increase of 4.1% or $9.8 million from year-end 2009. Total loans increased .6% or $936 thousand during the first nine-months of this year
to $151.0 million.

The investment securities portfolio reflected an increase of 3.0% or $1.6 million during the first nine months of the
year. Federal funds sold decreased $2.0 million during the first nine months of the year. Interest-bearing deposits increased $9.3 million over year-end 2009 as a result of increased deposits.

As of September 30, 2010, total deposits were $216.8 million, up approximately 4.1% or $8.6 million compared to year-end 2009. Non-interest-bearing
core deposits increased to $28.8 million as compared to $27.3 million at year-end 2009. Interest-bearing deposits increased 3.9% or $7.1 million to $188.0 million. Deposits greater than $100 thousand amounted to $65.8 million at September 30,
2010 as compared to $62.7 million at year-end 2009.

$30.7 million as of December 31, 2009. Net income of $829 thousand for the period combined with an increase in accumulated other comprehensive gain of $530 thousand and dividends paid of $123 thousand accounted for the increase in
stockholders equity.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $829 thousand, an increase of 196.1% compared to $280 thousand for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $238 thousand, and increase of 3,866.7% compared to $6 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Diluted earnings per
share increased 300.0% to $.54 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Diluted earnings per share for the same period a year earlier was $.18. Diluted earnings per share increased $.16 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Diluted earnings per share for the same period a year earlier was $.00. The provision for loan losses was increased $361 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, representing a decrease of $215 thousand over the same period for
the previous year. The provision for loan losses was $90 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2010, representing a decrease of $356 thousand over the same period for the previous year. In addition, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, interest expense decreased $475 thousand, non-interest income increased $37 thousand and salaries and employee benefits decreased $224 thousand. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, interest expense
decreased $142 thousand, non-interest income decreased $46 thousand and salaries and employee benefits decreased $56 thousand.

Total interest
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $26 thousand to $8.2 million, an increase of .3%. This resulted primarily from increased income on taxable investment securities. Total interest income for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 decreased $41 thousand to $2.7 million, a decrease of 1.5% over the same prior year period. This resulted primarily from decreased income on loans and fees on loans. Noninterest income for the nine months period ended
September 30, 2010, increased 7.4% to $538 thousand versus the same time period for the prior year. The increase was due primarily to gains realized on the sale of securities. Total interest expense for the nine months period ended
September 30, 2010, decreased $475 thousand to $3.8 million continuing the decline of rates paid on interest-bearing deposits accounts even though total deposits increased. Total interest expense for the three months period ended
September 30, 2010, decreased $142 thousand to $1.1 million. Noninterest expense decreased $108 thousand to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009. Reduced salaries and employee
benefits accounted for the decrease in noninterest expense. Noninterest expense increased $45 thousand to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Increased expense related to foreclosed assets accounted for the increase in
noninterest expense. Due to increased earnings for the nine months period ended September 30, 2010, an income tax expense of $36 thousand was incurred versus an income tax benefit of $276 thousand for the same period in the previous year.
During the three months period ended September 30, 2010, an income tax expense of $2 thousand was incurred versus an income tax benefit of $132 thousand for the same period in the previous year.

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 2010 the provision for loan losses was $361 thousand as compared to $576 thousand provision for the same period in 2009.
The provision continued to increase due to $267 thousand in write-offs and continued economic uncertainty. 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 2010 maintains the allowance at a level adequate to cover potential losses.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.8 million at September 30, 2010. The allowance for loan losses to period end loans was 1.84% at September 30, 2010 compared to 1.78% and 1.40% at
December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The Company recovered balances previously charged off on loans in the amount of $8 thousand during the first nine months of 2010. This compares with recoveries for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 of $10 thousand. The Company charged-off loans in the amount of $267 thousand during the first nine months of 2010 as compared to $85 thousand in charge-offs for the same nine months of 2009.

The allowance for loan losses
represents managements estimate of an amount adequate to provide for potential losses 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. In addition, management took into account not only the current state of the economy, but information from various sources, including government economic data, Federal Reserve economic reports, the local
economy including local real estate activity and safety and soundness discussions with Primary Regulators, which not only expected the current economic downturn to persist, but also expected continued significant losses in commercial real estate.
Geographic location was taken into account regarding the depth of economic decline, valuation for certain loans and corresponding collateral. Management also collected additional financial data from certain customers to ascertain current financial
strength and cash flow Finally, management maintained the historical overall conservative approach of the Company in calculating additions to the allowance for loan losses. 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 $8.3 million as of September 30, 2010 compared to $5.9 million as of
December 31, 2009. The increase in nonperforming assets occurred in the nonaccrual category as the current economic climate persists, creating cash flow issues for certain loan customers. Management is taking aggressive actions to mitigate any
material losses related to nonperforming assets. As of September 30, 2010 the Companys impaired loans with a valuation allowance amounted to $5.9 million, an increase of $300 thousand from December 31, 2009. The valuation allowance
related to the impaired loans was $1.3 million at September 30, 2010 and $1.2 million at December 31, 2009.

During the third
quarter, management identified two loans totaling $4.8 million that required classification as troubled debt restructures. One loan with a balance of $2.3 million is still performing, and the other loan in the amount of $2.5 million is recorded in
non-accrual loans.

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 $31.7 million at September 30, 2010, or 19.35% of risk-weighted assets. Total risk-based
capital was $33.8 million or 20.61% 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, 2010.

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, 2010, the Companys leverage capital ratio was 12.98%.

During the first nine months of 2010 Cardinal Bankshares has seen growth in deposits, a small increase in loans and an increase in the provision for loan
losses, while maintaining its history of being well capitalized and maintaining strong liquidity far exceeding minimum standards and equal or greater than its peers.

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 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.
