HERNDON, Va., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MainStreet Bank (OTC Bulletin Board: MNSB) reported net income of $579 thousand for the year-ended December 31, 2009.

Chairman, President & CEO Jeff W. Dick said "We continue to be profitable, which is a badge of honor on its own, given our current economic climate. We closed the year with total assets at $236 million, and we are working diligently to build upon a solid balance sheet. Perhaps even more significant, we originated over $52 million in loans within our community this past year."

After five years of operations, asset quality remains strong. The bank had two non-performing loans as of December 31, 2009. The bank only had one loan past due between 30 - 89 days.

MainStreet opened a branch located at 6832 Old Dominion Drive in McLean on December 14, 2009 and is in the process of opening another branch located at 1000 North Hyland Street in Arlington. The Bank is headquartered at 727 Elden Street in Herndon and also has a branch at 4029 Chain Bridge Road in Fairfax.

For accounts payable, customers can also build in reminders, customize loan payments, and set up regular funds transfers.
