NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the
disclosures and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been 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, 2007. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentations.

Principles of Consolidation

The 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.

Note 2. Allowance for Loan Losses

Changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows:

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, that no
employer contributions are expected to be paid in 2008. As of March 31, 2008, no contributions have been made.

Note 5. Fair Value

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) which provides a framework for measuring
and disclosing fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS 157 requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition, 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).

SFAS 157 defines fair value 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. SFAS 157 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 Vale Hierarchy

Under SFAS 157, 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.

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 in accordance with SFAS 114,  Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, (SFAS 114). 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. At March 31, 2008, substantially all of the totally impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. In
accordance with SFAS 157, 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 and fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or managements estimation of the value 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.

Note 6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements:

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),
Business Combinations, (SFAS 141(R)) which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users
of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141(R) is effective for acquisitions by the Company taking place on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, a
calendar year-end company is required to record and disclose business combinations following existing accounting guidance until January 1, 2009. The Company will assess the impact of SFAS 141(R) if and when a future acquisition occurs.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB
No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Before this statement, limited guidance existed for
reporting noncontrolling interests (minority interest). As a result, diversity in practice exists. In some cases minority interest is reported as a liability and in others it is reported in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity.
Specifically, SFAS 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financials statements and separate from the parents equity. The amount of net income attributable to the
noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in

##### Table of Contents

Note 6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)



deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent
recognize gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure
requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption
of SFAS 160 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities and thereby improving the transparency of financial reporting. It is
intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in SFAS 133 by requiring that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. This disclosure better conveys the purpose of
derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. This pronouncement does not impact accounting measurements but will result in additional disclosures if the
Company is involved in material derivative and hedging activities at that time.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 140-3,
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (FSP 140-3). This FSP provides guidance on accounting for a transfer of a financial asset and the transferors repurchase financing
of the asset. This FSP presumes that an initial transfer of a financial asset and a repurchase financing are considered part of the same arrangement (linked transaction) under SFAS No. 140. However, if certain criteria are met, the initial
transfer and repurchase financing are not evaluated as a linked transaction and are evaluated separately under Statement 140. FSP 140-3 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years and earlier application is not permitted. Accordingly, this FSP is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FSP 140-3
will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 142-3,
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of
expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, this FSP is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of
FSP 142-3 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or
proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

|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
March 31, 2008, the Bank operated eight 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 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. 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 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 March 31, 2008 were $217.2 million, an increase of $7.9 million from year-end 2007. Total loans increased 4.1% or $5 million during the quarter to $129.5 million.

The investment securities portfolio reflected a slight increase of $96 thousand. This increase was a result of maturities of agency and municipal securities in the amount of $2.8 million, usual pay downs in the amount
of $946 thousand in mortgage-backed securities offset by purchases of investment securities totaling approximately $2.7 million. Federal funds sold declined $200 thousand during the quarter.

As of March 31, 2008, total deposits were $185.3 million, up approximately $7.7 million compared to year-end 2007. Non-interest-bearing core deposits decreased
slightly at $29.0 million as compared to $29.6 million at year-end 2007. Interest-bearing deposits increased 5.5% or $8.3 million to $156.4 million. Deposits greater than $100 thousand amounted to $53.2 million at March 31, 2008 as compared to
$57.3 million at year-end 2007.

Stockholders equity was $30.2 million as of March 31, 2008 compared to $29.9 million as of December 31,
2007. Net income for the quarter of $317 thousand principally accounted for the increase in stockholders equity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $317 thousand, down 56.9% compared to $737 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Diluted earnings per share decreased 56.3% to $.21 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. Diluted earnings per share for the same period a year earlier was $.48

Total interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 decreased $109 thousand to $3.1 million, a decrease of 3.4% over the same prior year quarter. This resulted primarily from the effect of decreased earnings from federal funds sold and deposits with banks due to declining interest
rates. Noninterest income decreased 54.8% to $161 thousand primarily due to income from bank owned life insurance recorded in 2007 of $186 thousand greater than 2008 . Total interest expense increased $30 thousand to $1.5 million, reflecting the
effect of greater amounts in interest-bearing deposits accounts. Noninterest expense increased 17.9% to $1.4 million for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter of 2007. The primary expense that attributed to this noninterest
expense increase was an increase in salaries and employee benefits as compared to the first quarter of 2007.

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 quarter of 2008 the provision
for loan losses was $20 thousand as compared to $20 thousand provision for the same period in 2007. 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 2008 maintains the allowance at a level adequate to cover potential losses.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $1.7 million at March 31, 2008. The allowance for loan losses to period end loans was 1.31% at March 31, 2008 compared to 1.34% and 1.40% at December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007,
respectively. The Company recovered balances previously charged off on loans in the amount of $2 thousand during the quarter. This compares with recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $10 thousand.

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.

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 $622 thousand as of
March 31, 2008 compared to $858 thousand as of December 31, 2007. Management does not expect to incur any material losses related to nonperforming assets. As of March 31, 2008 the Companys impaired loans with a valuation
allowance amounted to $3.3 million, unchanged from December 31, 2007. The valuation allowance related to the loans was $682 thousand at March 31, 2008 and $703 thousand at December 31, 2007.

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 $30.4 million at March 31, 2008, or 20.47% of risk-weighted assets. Total risk-based capital was $32.1 million or
21.61% 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 March 31, 2008.

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 March 31, 2008, the Companys leverage capital ratio was 14.25%.

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.

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

Under
the newly created filer category of smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, the Company is not required to provide information requested by Item 3 of its Form 10-Q.



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

As of the end of the period to which this
report relates, the Company has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act).

The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the
possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goal under every potential condition, regardless of how
remote. 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.

Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling us
to record, process, summarize and report effectively and in a timely manner the information required to be disclosed in reports we file under the Exchange Act. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the last quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

|        |  | The Company was named as a defendant in a complaint filed by a former employee with the United States Department of Labor under Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The plaintiff
alleged in his complaint that his termination in October, 2002 violated the Act. He is seeking reinstatement, back pay and damages. The Company maintains that the independent members of its Board of Directors terminated the plaintiff lawfully
because he refused to comply with the directives of the Audit Committee in their attempt to look into certain matters raised by the plaintiff. The Audit Committee, after full investigation, later concluded that the matters raised by the plaintiff
had no merit. The Boards decision was initially upheld by the Department of Labor. The plaintiff appealed that decision. The Department of Labor Administrative Law Judge reversed the earlier decision in the Companys favor and entered a
decision in favor of the plaintiff in January 2004. The Company appealed that decision. The Administrative Review Board of the Department of Labor agreed to review the decision of the Administrative Law Judge in February 2004. Their decision to
review suspended the decision of the Administrative Law Judge prior to any determination of damages by the Administrative Law Judge. In May 2004, the Administrative Review Board within the Department of Labor determined that it had accepted the
Companys petition for review prematurely.
|        | 
|        |  | Because of the uncertainty regarding the procedural handling of this case within the DOL, to preserve its ultimate ability to appeal to the Federal Courts, in June 2004, the Company filed
with the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit a Petition for Review of the decisions of the United States Department of Labor. The appeal was determined to be premature. The parties submitted evidence to the Administrative Law Judge
of damages without a further hearing in December 2004 and January 2005. The Administrative Law Judge rendered a Supplemental Recommended Decision and Order in February 2005, which awarded damages to the plaintiff of $65 thousand, plus
attorneys fees of $108 thousand, and ordered the plaintiffs reinstatement. The Company filed a petition for review to the Administrative Review Board of the Department of Labor. The case was accepted for review by the Administrative
Review Board in March 2005. The Companys management believes it has substantial grounds for a successful appeal of the decision in the plaintiffs favor and will pursue appeals vigorously. Both sides have submitted briefs to the
Administrative Review Board and are awaiting the Administrative Review Boards decision.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       
|        | 
|        |  | Meanwhile plaintiff made several unsuccessful attempts to force his reinstatement on the Company. He moved the Administrative Law Judge for sanctions against the Company for failure to
reinstate him. The motion was denied on August 9, 2005. On August 30, 2005, plaintiff filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia seeking to enforce what he claimed was a preliminary
order of reinstatement issued by the Administrative Law Judge. The Court granted the Companys motion to dismiss January 14, 2006, on the grounds that there is no preliminary order of reinstatement to enforce. Plaintiff then
filed two motions simultaneously, one to the Administrative Law Judge seeking "expedited clarification" of the purported order of reinstatement and another to the U.S. District Court to alter or amend its dismissal of his petition. Both
of plaintiff's motions were denied, on January 24 and January 26, respectively.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
|        | 
|        |  | Then, on February 8, 2006, the plaintiff made a motion to the Administrative Review Board for "expedited declaration" of preliminary order of reinstatement. This motion was granted by
the ARB on March 31, 2006, essentially concluding that notwithstanding the District Courts decision the Administrative Law Judge had issued a preliminary reinstatement order. On April 17, 2006, the Company filed a motion with the
Department of Labor Administrative Review Board seeking a stay of the preliminary order of reinstatement. This motion was denied on June 9, 2006, leaving the preliminary order of reinstatement in effect.

| |  | On July 6, 2006, plaintiff filed another Petition to enforce the Department of Labors preliminary order of reinstatement with the United States District Court in Roanoke, Virginia.
The Company moved to dismiss the petition on the basis that the Sarbanes-Oxley statute does not give the District Court jurisdiction to enforce a Department of Labor Preliminary Order of reinstatement. The Department of Labor intervened to support
the plaintiff's petition. Each of the Company's directors intervened as individuals to oppose reinstatement. The American Association of Bank Directors similarly intervened in support of the Company and the Company's Directors and to oppose
enforcement of the Order of Reinstatement.
| | 
| |  | On October 5, 2006, the District Court granted Cardinals motion to dismiss, concluding that the Court did not have jurisdiction to enforce a Department of Labor Preliminary Order
of Reinstatement.

| |  | On December 4, 2006, the plaintiff and the United States Department of Labor appealed the District Courts dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
The appeal is pending. The American Bankers Association, the American Association of Bank Directors, the Virginia Bankers Association and the Virginia Association of Community Banks have each filed briefs with the Fourth Circuit supporting the
Companys position in the case.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
| | 
| |  | On May 31, 2007, while the appeal of the enforcement action was still pending in the Fourth Circuit, the Administrative Review Board reversed the decision of the Administrative Law Judge
and denied Welchs complaint. This was a final order of the Department of Labor. In light of that ruling, there no longer was any preliminary order to enforce. Thus, Cardinal moved to dismiss the appeal of the enforcement order as moot. The
Fourth Circuit has not yet ruled on that motion.

| |  | Meanwhile, on July 9, 2007, Welch petitioned the Fourth Circuit to review the May 31, 2007 ruling of the Administrative Review Board. Cardinal moved to intervene in the case, which
the Court permitted it to do. The American Association of Bank Directors and the Virginia Bankers Association and Virginia Association of Community Banks have submitted briefs as amici curiae in support of Cardinal. The parties are still briefing
the issues for the Fourth Circuit, and the matter has not yet been scheduled for oral agreement.                                                                                                                                                                                             
| | 
| |  | Thus, there are two appeals pending before the Fourth Circuit: an appeal of the District Courts dismissal of Welchs enforcement action, and an appeal of the Administrative Review
Boards denial of Welchs complaint. Cardinals likelihood of success on both of those appeals is good.
