Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of Cardinal Bancshares, Inc. ("Cardinal") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Vine Street Trust Company, HNB Bank, NA, First & Peoples Bank, Alliance Bank, fsb, and Jefferson Banking Company, conform to generally accepted accounting principles and, in management's view, general practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cardinal and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies footnote which appears in Cardinal's 1996 Annual Report and Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1997. 2. Security First Network Bank Spin-Off On May 23, 1996 Cardinal effected the spin-off of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Security First Network Bank ("SFNB"). Cardinal stockholders received on a pro rata basis the distribution of 2,398,908 shares of SFNB common stock. The terms and conditions of the spin-off are set forth in the First Amended and Restated Plan of Distribution adopted by the Board of Directors of Cardinal on October 5, 1995. Cardinal no longer has any ownership interest in SFNB. SFNB's Common Stock is traded on NASDAQ's National Market System under the trading symbol "SFNB." 3. Cardinal Credit Corporation Sale of Assets On May 14, 1996 Cardinal completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its subsidiary, Cardinal Credit Corporation, to Norwest Financial Kentucky, Inc. Cardinal recorded an after-tax gain of approximately $4.6 million in connection with such sale and the related termination of Cardinal Credit Corporation's business. The agreement with Norwest did not preclude Cardinal or its affiliated banks from engaging in their banking business as presently operated, including, without limitation, offering, originating or purchasing consumer loans consistent with past practice as of May 14, 1996. The agreement provides any party which acquires "control" (within the meaning of Section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, or Section 3 of the Bank Holding Company Act) of Cardinal, subsequent to May 16, 1996, shall not be precluded from engaging in the consumer finance business if such party then engages in that business in any way as of the time it acquires control of Cardinal. Area Bancshares Corporation, which has entered into a merger agreement with Cardinal (See Note 8 below), is presently engaging in the consumer finance business. 8 4. The amortized cost and market value of securities available for sale are summarized as follows: June 30, 1997 December 31, 1996 ------------- ----------------- Amortized Market Amortized Market (In thousands) Cost Value Cost Value -------------- ---- ----- ---- ----- U. S.

Allowance for Loan Losses Changes in the allowance for loan losses are as follows: June 30, December 31, (In thousands) 1997 1996 -------------- ---- ---- Balance, January 1 $6,374 5,789 Provision for Loan Losses 738 3,480 Recoveries 145 474 Loans charged off (515) (2,035) Changes incident to spin-off and sale of loans - (1,334) ------ ----- Balance, end of period $6,742 6,374 ====== ===== 6. Adoption of New Accounting Principles On January 1, 1997 Cardinal implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." Under this standard, accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities is based on control. After a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. 9 The implementation of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material effect on Cardinal's consolidated financial statements as a result of Cardinal not having a material amount of asset transfers and asset servicing. 7. Off-balance-sheet Instruments Used for Interest Rate Risk Management The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage its sensitivity to interest rate risk by using these instruments to offset the inherent price or interest rate risk of specific on-balance-sheet assets or liabilities. Interest revenue or interest expense on such transactions is accrued over the term of the agreement as an adjustment to the yield or cost of the related asset or liability. Transaction fees and realized gains and losses, if any, are deferred and amortized to interest revenue or interest expense over the term of the agreement. The fair values of any interest rate swaps are not recognized in the financial statements. 8. Subsequent Event On May 1, 1997 Cardinal announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to merge with Area Bancshares Corporation, ("Area") (Nasdaq - NMS: AREA). Under terms of the agreement, Area will exchange 2.7391 shares of its common stock for each share of Cardinal common stock outstanding. Based on Area's closing price of $22.00 on April 30, 1997 and Cardinal's total outstanding shares and options, the transaction would be valued at approximately $109 million and represent an exchange value of $60.26 for each share of Cardinal common stock. The purchase price would be 1.88 times Cardinal's March 31, 1997 book value. The combination, which will be accounted for as a pooling of interests, is expected to be consummated during the fourth quarter of 1997, pending Area and Cardinal shareholder approval, regulatory approval, and other customary conditions of closing. The exchange of Area stock for Cardinal stock is expected to be a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes. 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CARDINAL Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1996. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $3.244 million or $1.89 primary earnings per share as compared to a net income of $4.229 million and $2.55 primary earnings per share for the same period in 1996. Annualized return on average stockholders' equity and average assets for the first six months of 1997 were 12.54% and 1.02%, respectively. Because of the spin-off of SFNB and the sale of Cardinal Credit Corporation loans, the return on average equity and average assets for 1996 are not meaningful. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned and interest expensed plus any loan fees earned. Net interest margin is net interest income divided by average earning assets. The following table summarizes the above for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996: (Dollars in thousands) Six months ended June 30 1997 1996 -------- ------ Interest income, including loan fees $ 26,268 28,475 Interest expense 12,091 13,925 -------- ------ Net interest income $ 14,177 14,550 ======== ====== Average earning assets $600,159 $627,914 Net interest margin (annualized) (tax equivalent) 4.76% 4.65% Net interest income was relatively flat from 1996 to 1997 with the increase in the net interest margin offsetting the decline in average earning assets. The comparison of net interest income between reporting periods is and will continue to be effected by the sale of loans of Cardinal Credit Corporation and the spin-off of SFNB. Below is the same table as above, but eliminating the interest income, interest expense and average assets of Cardinal Credit Corporation and SFNB (see Notes 2 and 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). (Dollars in thousands) Six months ended June 30, 1997 1996 -------- -------- Interest income, including loan fees $ 26,268 24,984 Interest expense 12,091 12,713 -------- ------ Net interest income $ 14,177 12,271 ======== ====== Average earning assets $600,159 $575,876 Net interest margin (annualized) (tax equivalent) 4.76% 4.26% 11 Management provided $738,000 in provision for loan losses for the first six months of 1997 compared to $1,707,000 for the same period in 1996. Management provides a level of reserves based upon an evaluation of the loan portfolio's quality, growth, mix and prior loan loss experience. The decrease in the level of provision for loan losses between reporting periods is primarily the result of decreases in the level of net charge-offs. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were $370,000 compared to $965,000 for the same period in 1996. Net charge-offs in 1996 primarily resulted from losses in the consumer finance portfolio, principally of Cardinal Credit Corporation, which totaled $663,000 for the first six months in 1996. In addition, net charge-offs in the indirect automobile loan portfolio decreased from $333,000 for the six months in 1996 to $268,000 for the same period in 1997. As discussed above at Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on May 14, 1996 Cardinal sold substantially all of the assets of Cardinal Credit Corporation, including all of its $26 million of consumer finance loans. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements." See "Risk Elements in Loan Portfolio." Noninterest income decreased $8.452 million for the first six months of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Below is a table that eliminates the noninterest income of Cardinal Credit Corporation and SFNB from the amounts reported in the first six months of 1996. Six months ended June 30 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1997 1996 as as Cardinal 1996 as (Dollars in thousands) reported reported Credit SFNB adjusted --------- --------- -------- ---- -------- Noninterest income: Service charges on deposits $ 695 622 -- 46 576 Insurance commissions 81 301 213 23 65 Car club fees -- 86 86 -- -- Trust income 388 211 -- -- 211 Gains on sale of loans 93 8,525 8,230 -- 295 Security gains, net 7 38 -- -- 38 Loan servicing fees 219 109 -- -- 109 Taxable municipal bond securities litigation settlement 51 -- -- -- -- Other 254 348 54 12 282 ------ ------ ----- -- ----- Total noninterest income $1,788 10,240 8,583 81 1,576 ====== ====== ===== == ===== The increase in trust income results primarily from an increase in average assets under management. The decrease in gains on sales of loans results from a decline in mortgage loans sold in the secondary market and a decline in SBA loan sales. The $51,000 taxable municipal bond securities litigation settlement represented monies received as a result of losses incurred in 1992 from the sale of certain taxable municipal bonds and is considered nonrecurring. 12 Noninterest expenses decreased $4.7 million between reporting periods of 1997 and 1996, substantially all of which can be attributed to the termination of business of Cardinal Credit Corporation and the spin-off of SFNB. Cardinal's noninterest expenses were not impacted by Cardinal Credit Corporation and SFNB for the first six months of 1997 since Cardinal Credit Corporation terminated business on May 14, 1996 and SFNB was spun-off effective May 23, 1996. Below is a table that eliminates the effect of Cardinal Credit Corporation and SFNB from noninterest expenses for the first six months of 1996. Six months ended June 30, ------------------------------------------------------------- 1997 1996 1996 as as Cardinal as (Dollars in thousands) reported reported Credit SFNB adjusted -------- -------- -------- ---- -------- Noninterest expense: Salaries and employee benefits 5,077 6,901 1,321 729 4,851 Net occupancy expense 711 976 266 52 658 Furniture & equipment expenses 803 1,280 91 426 763 Professional fees 262 329 41 12 276 Bank share taxes 322 271 -- 9 262 FDIC insurance 53 247 -- 30 217 Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles 254 254 -- -- 254 Data processing services 511 701 22 158 521 Operating supplies 217 383 50 53 280 Telephone 225 387 84 52 251 Postage and courier 313 388 49 26 313 Advertising and business development 472 600 34 152 414 Transportation, meals and lodging 108 285 21 144 120 Other 989 2,020 712 142 1,166 ------- ------ ----- ----- ------ Total noninterest expense $10,317 15,022 2,691 1,985 10,346 ======= ====== ===== ===== ====== FDIC insurance substantially declined as a result of passage of the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996, which, among other things, decreased the insurance assessments for banks and thrifts. Deposit accounts at Cardinal's subsidiary banks are insured to applicable limits by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC and deposit amounts at Cardinal's subsidiary thrift are insured to the applicable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). Included in the 1997 noninterest expenses are approximately $85,000 in nonrecurring items, primarily legal and consultant fees associated with the pending merger with Area Bancshares Corporation (see footnote 7 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). 13 Beginning January 1, 1997, BIF institutions are required to pay a portion of the $780 million in annual FICO interest payments. For the first three years, the BIF assessment rates for the FICO payments must be one-fifth of that for SAIF institutions. It is currently estimated that this will equal an amount of 1.29 cents per $100 in deposits on BIF-insured deposits and 6.44 cents for SAIF deposits. After January 1, 2000, the FICO assessment will be spread evenly among all BIF and SAIF deposits which is estimated to be at the rate of 2.43 cents per $100 in deposits. CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET Total assets increased $6.9 million from December 31,1996 to June 30, 1997. Loans, net of unearned income, increased $16.9 million between December 31, 1996 and June 30, 1997 funded primarily by a decline in liquid assets and borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Deposits were flat from $549.2 million at December 31, 1996 to $550.1 million at June 30, 1997. 14 RISK ELEMENTS IN LOAN PORTFOLIO A summary of nonperforming loans and assets follows: (Dollars in thousands) June 30, December 31, 1997 1996 ---- ---- Nonaccrual loans $ 673 607 90 days or more past due and still accruing 2,893 373 ------- --- Total nonperforming loans 3,566 980 Other real estate owned 32 18 ------- --- Total nonperforming assets $ 3,598 998 ======= === Total nonperforming loans as a percentage of period-end net loans 0.74% 0.21% Total nonperforming assets as a per- centage of period-end net loans and OREO 0.74% 0.21% Allowance for loan losses to period end net loans 1.39% 1.36% Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans 189.1% 650.4% At June 30, 1997, total impaired loans as recognized under SFAS No. 114 were $1.3 million as compared to $509,000 at December 31, 1996. At June 30, 1997, nonperforming loans totaled $3.566 million, an increase of $2.586 million over December 31, 1996. The primary reason for the increase in nonperforming loans was the failure to renew one loan totaling $2.5 million, which is expected to be renewed in August. Documentation requirements, not credit quality concerns, precluded the loan from being renewed in a timely manner. Adjusting Cardinal's nonperforming loans for the $2.5 million renewal loan results in the following ratios: 15 Total adjusted nonperforming loans as a percentage of period-end net loans 0.22% Total adjusted nonperforming assets as a percentage of period-end net loans and OREO 0.23% Allowance for loan losses to adjusted nonperforming loans 632.5% At June 30, 1997, Cardinal's loan portfolio was comprised of the following: (Dollars in thousands) Percent --------------------- ------- Commercial $ 53,319 11.0% SBA 69,388 14.3% Commercial Real Estate 109,505 22.6% Residential Real Estate 172,447 35.6% Consumer 79,453 16.5% --------- ------ Total $ 484,112 100.0% ========= ====== The commercial loans are primarily locally generated and represent lower middle market business loans. The commercial real estate loans are primarily owner-occupied facilities. The SBA portfolio is largely real estate related. Approximately 73% of the SBA portfolio is related to the hospitality industry. These loans are typically to owner operators of franchised middle or economy class hotels. The hospitality portfolio has been generated utilizing various SBA programs which significantly limit Cardinal's risk related to this industry. Approximately 49% of the SBA loan portfolio is guaranteed by the SBA. The consumer loan portfolio is comprised of direct installment loans and indirect automobile loans which are generated and serviced in the local markets served by Cardinal subsidiaries. The indirect loan portfolio at June 30, 1997 totaled approximately $41 million and consisted mainly of used car paper generated in south central and eastern Kentucky.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $1.629 million as compared to $4.333 million for the same period in 1996. Excluding the income statement effect of the spin-off of SFNB and the sale of loans and related termination of business of Cardinal Credit Corporation, Cardinal would have reported net income for the second quarter of 1996 of $917,000. Below is a condensed income statement for the three months ended June 30, 1996 that adjusts for the spin-off of SFNB and sale of loans and termination of business of Cardinal Credit Corporation. 17 Three months ended June 30, -------------------------------------------------------------------- (In thousands) 1997 as 1996 as 1996 as reported reported CCC SFNB adjusted -------- -------- ----- ---- -------- Interest income $ 13,362 13,864 764 487 12,613 Interest expense 6,131 6,653 138 303 6,212 -------- ------ ----- ---- ------ Net interest income 7,231 7,211 626 184 6,401 Provision for loan losses 369 869 319 - 550 -------- ------ ----- ---- ------ Net interest income after provision for loan losses 6,862 6,342 307 184 5,851 Noninterest income 894 9,247 8,356 30 861 Noninterest expense 5,333 7,418 1,448 693 5,277 -------- ------ ----- ---- ------ Income before income taxes 2,423 8,171 7,215 (479) 1,435 Income taxes 794 3,838 2,859 461 518 -------- ------ ----- ---- ------ Net income $ 1,629 4,333 4,356 (940) 917 ======== ====== ===== ==== ====== Net interest income from adjusted 1996 to reported 1997, reflects an increase in the net interest margin from 4.39% for the second quarter of 1996 to 4.77% for the second quarter of 1997. Management provided $369,000 in provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the adjusted $550,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The decline between periods is primarily the result in a decline in the level of net charge-offs. Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 1997 were $251,000 as compared to $319,000 for the same period in 1996. Noninterest income and noninterest expense were relatively flat between reporting periods. Included in the noninterest expenses for the second quarter of 1997 were approximately $85,000 of nonrecurring items that are primarily attributable to the pending merger with Area Bancshares Corporation (see Note 8, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" and SFAS No. 129 "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure." SFAS No. 128 simplifies the computation of earnings per share ("EPS") by replacing the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. The Statement requires dual 18 presentation of basic and diluted EPS by entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of and entity, similar to fully diluted EPS. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods, and requires restatement of all prior period EPS data presented. Cardinal does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 129 establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. This Statement contains no change in disclosure requirements for companies that were subject to previously existing requirements. This Statement was issued to eliminate the exemption of nonpublic entities from certain previously issued disclosure requirements. This Statement is effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The implementation of this Statement will not have a material effect on Cardinal's consolidated financial statements. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". SFAS No. 130 defines comprehensive income as the change in equity (net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Statement requires comprehensive income to be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 131 changes the way public companies report information about segments of their business in their annual financial statements and requires them to report selected segment information in their quarterly report to shareholders. This Statement requires that companies disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measures their performance. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company does not expect the implementation of this Statement to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. 19 Part II. Other Information Item 4.
