Cardinal Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. 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, 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 ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 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. As part of the agreement with Norwest, Cardinal agreed
that for three years it would not engage in the consumer finance business in the
same or substantially similar manner in which Cardinal Credit Corporation
engaged in that business. Such agreement does not, however, preclude any
Cardinal subsidiary from engaging in its banking business, including the
origination of consumer loans, as currently conducted. The net cash proceeds of
the sale were invested in short-term securities.

6. Adoption of New Accounting Principles
On January 1, 1997 Cardinal implemented Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("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.
The implementation of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material effect on
Cardinal's consolidated financial statements.

7. 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS OF CARDINAL
Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $1.615 million
or $0.94 primary earnings per share as compared to a net loss of $104,000 and
($0.06) primary earnings per share for the same period in 1996. Annualized
return on average stockholders' equity and average assets for the first three
months of 1997 and 1996 were 12.65%, 1.03%, (1.02%) and (0.06%), respectively.
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 three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996:

======== ========
Average earning assets $594,232 $632,048
Net interest margin (annualized) 4.68% 4.64%
</TABLE>
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 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).

Management provided $369,000 in provision for loan losses for the first
three months of 1997 compared to $838,000 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
three months ended March 31, 1997 were $119,000 compared to $441,000 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 $344,000 for the first three months in 1996. In addition, net
charge-offs in the indirect automobile loan portfolio decreased from $137,000
for the three months in 1996 to $96,000 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 $99,000 for the first three 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 three months of 1996.

</TABLE>
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. 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.

<PAGE> 12
Noninterest expenses decreased $2.6 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 quarter 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 quarter of 1996.

</TABLE>
FDIC insurance substantially declined as a result of passage of the
Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996, which 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").
10
<PAGE> 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 $2.3 million from December 31,1996 to March 31,
1997. Loans, net of unearned income, increased $5.7 million between December 31,
1996 and March 31, 1997 funded primarily by liquidation of securities available
for sale. Deposits declined slightly from $549.2 million at December 31, 1996 to
$548.8 million at March 31, 1997.

At March 31, 1997, total impaired loans as recognized under SFAS
No. 114 were $763,000 as compared to $509,000 at December 31, 1996.
At March 31, 1997, nonperforming loans totaled $2.010 million, an
increase of $1.030 million over December 31, 1996. The primary reasons for the
increase in nonperforming loans were the failure to renew three loans in a
timely manner and an increase in nonaccrual loans related to the indirect
automobile portfolio. At March 31, 1997 there were three loans totaling $501,000
that had matured and were not renewed before they became 90 days past due.
During the month of April, these three loans were renewed and returned to
performing status.

primarily owner-occupied facilities. The SBA portfolio is largely real estate
related. Approximately 72% 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 51% 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 March
31, 1997 totaled approximately $40 million and consisted mainly of used car
paper generated in south central and eastern Kentucky. Of the $119,000 in net
charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 1997, $96,000 was attributable
to the indirect automobile portfolio or 1.0% of the indirect automobile
portfolio (annualized).

At March 31, 1997, each of Cardinal's financial institution
subsidiaries met all applicable regulatory capital requirements. Also at that
date, Cardinal had Tier I risk-based capital, total risk based capital and
leverage ratios of 10.58%, 11.83% and 7.35%, respectively. All capital ratios
are in compliance with regulatory minimum requirements.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
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 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.
This Statement 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 charge 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.
