                             *          *          *

      This Current Report on Form 8-K (including information included or
incorporated by reference herein) may contain, among other things, certain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements
regarding certain of Cardinal Bankshares' goals and expectations with respect to
earnings, earnings per share, revenue, expenses and the growth rate in such
items, as well as other measures of economic performance, including statements
relating to estimates of credit quality trends, and statements preceded by,
followed by or that include the words "may", "could", "should", "would",
"believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "plan", "projects",
"outlook" or similar expressions. These statements are based upon the current
beliefs and expectations of Cardinal Bankshares' management and are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those set
forth in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements
involve certain risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on
various factors (many of which are beyond Cardinal Bankshares' control).



The following factors, among others, could cause Cardinal Bankshares' financial
performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking
statements: (1) the strength of the United States economy in general and the
strength of the local economies in which Cardinal Bankshares conducts operations
may be different than expected resulting in, among other things, a deterioration
in credit quality or a reduced demand for credit, including the resultant effect
on Cardinal Bankshares' loan portfolio and allowance for loan losses; (2) the
effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws,
including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System; (3) inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
(4) adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other
capital markets (including changes in interest rate conditions); (5) the timely
development of competitive new products and services by Cardinal Bankshares and
the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; (6)
the willingness of customers to accept third party products marketed by Cardinal
Bankshares; (7) the willingness of customers to substitute competitors' products
and services for Cardinal Bankshares' products and services and vice versa; (8)
the impact of changes in financial services' laws and regulations (including
laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance); (9) technological
changes; (10) changes in consumer spending and saving habits; (11) the effect of
corporate restructurings, acquisitions and/or dispositions; (12) the growth and
profitability of Cardinal Bankshares' noninterest or fee income being less than
expected; (13) unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings or rulings; (14)
the impact of changes in accounting principles; (15) adverse changes in
financial performance and/or condition of Cardinal Bankshares' borrowers which
could impact repayment of such borrowers' outstanding loans; (16) the impact on
Cardinal Bankshares' businesses, as well as on the risks set forth above, of
various domestic or international military or terrorist activities or conflicts;
and (17) Cardinal Bankshares' success at managing the risks involved in the
foregoing.

      Cardinal Bankshares cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not
exclusive. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning
Cardinal Bankshares or other matters and attributable to Cardinal Bankshares or
any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
cautionary statements above. Cardinal Bankshares does not undertake any
obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral,
relating to the matters discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
