HERNDON, Va., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MainStreet Bank (OTC Bulletin Board: MNSB) reported net income of $257 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Chairman, President & CEO Jeff W. Dick said, "We are having our best year ever. We continue to grow a strong balance sheet and we are starting to branch out into strong Northern Virginia markets."

The bank's balance sheet continues on a good growth track, with total assets at $212 million, which is an increase of 20% over the same period last year. Gross loans are now at $167 million, which represents an increase of approximately $31 million in new loans to borrowers in our community. Total deposits are at $167 million, an increase of 26% over the same time period.

After five years of operations, asset quality remains exceptionally strong. Total non-performing loans as of September 30, 2009 were 0.11% of gross loans, and consist of one loan. Loans past due between 30 - 89 days were 0.79% of gross loans.

MainStreet has received regulatory approval to expand into the McLean and Arlington markets. Plans are to open the McLean branch in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the Arlington branch in the first quarter of 2010.

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.
