MainStreet Bank Reports Continuing Profitability

HERNDON, Va., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MainStreet Bank (OTC Bulletin Board: MNSB) reported net income of $138 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Chairman, President & CEO Jeff W. Dick said, "In this economy, our primary objective is to remain profitable, while maintaining a well-managed balance sheet. In the meantime, we continue our efforts to position the bank to respond favorably when interest rates start to rise."

The bank's balance sheet continues on a good growth track, with total assets at $205 million, which is an increase of 17% over the same period last year. Gross loans are now at $159 million, which represents an increase of more than $27 million in new loans to borrowers in our community. Total deposits are at $160 million, an increase of 22% over the same time period.

After five years of operations, asset quality remains exceptionally strong. Total non-performing loans as of June 30, 2009 were 0.64% of gross loans, and consist of six loans -- one of which represents the 75% guarantee portion of a Small Business Administration loan which is still in the process of collection. Loans past due between 30 - 89 days were 1.86% of gross loans.

MainStreet is in the process of expanding to a new location in Arlington, Virginia, and has identified veteran Banker Nancy Hong to manage that office. Nancy will be joined by Art Smith, a senior commercial lender with extensive experience lending in the DC Metropolitan market.

The Bank is headquartered at 727 Elden Street in Herndon, Virginia and has a full service branch at 4029 Chain Bridge Road in Fairfax, Virginia. MainStreet Bank is the first community bank in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area to offer a full online business banking solution. MainStreet Bank was also the first bank headquartered in the Commonwealth of Virginia to offer CDARS -- a solution that provides FDIC insurance on deposits up to $50 million. Further information on the Bank can be obtained by visiting its website at www.mstreetbank.com.

Business customers can accomplish everything in their office that they would normally do in a branch, including: managing accounts, paying bills, transferring funds, initiating ACH and wire transfers, sweeping funds, making loan payments, advancing from lines of credit, and depositing cash.
