Overview


As used herein, the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refer to MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, and the "Bank" refers to MainStreet Bank.

MainStreet Bancshares, Inc.



MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company that owns 100% of
MainStreet Bank and MainStreet Community Capital, LLC. On October 12, 2021, the
Company filed an election to be a financial holding company with the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve"). The Company
elected financial holding company status in order to engage in a broader range
of financial activities than are permitted for bank holding companies generally.



The Company and its subsidiaries are incorporated in and chartered by the
Commonwealth of Virginia. The Company's executive offices are located at 10089
Fairfax Boulevard, Fairfax, Virginia. Our telephone number is (703) 481-4567,
and our internet address is www.mstreetbank.com. The information contained on
our website shall not be considered part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
and the reference to our website does not constitute incorporation by reference
of the information contained on the website.



MainStreet Bank



MainStreet Bank is a community commercial bank incorporated in and chartered by
the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond, and its deposits are insured by the FDIC. The Bank opened for
business on May 26, 2004, and is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. We
currently operate six Bank branches; located in Herndon, Fairfax, McLean,
Clarendon, Leesburg Virginia, and one in Washington D.C.



We emphasize providing responsive and personalized services to our clients. Due
to the consolidation of financial institutions in our primary market area, we
believe there is a significant opportunity for a local bank to provide a full
range of financial services. By offering highly professional, personalized
banking products and service delivery methods and employing advanced banking
technologies, we seek to distinguish ourselves from larger, regional banks
operating in our market area and believe we are able to compete effectively with
other community banks.



We believe we have a solid franchise that meets the financial needs of our
clients and communities by providing an array of personalized products and
services delivered by seasoned banking professionals with decisions made at the
local level. We believe a significant customer base in our market prefers to do
business with a local institution that has a local management team, a local
Board of Directors and local founders and that this customer base may not be
satisfied with the responsiveness of larger regional banks. By providing quality
services, coupled with the opportunities provided by the economies in our market
area, we have generated and expect to continue to generate organic growth.



We service Northern Virginia as well as the greater Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area. Our goal is to deliver a customized and targeted mix of
products and services that meets or exceeds customer expectations. To accomplish
this goal, we have deployed a premium operating system that gives customers
access to up-to-date banking technology. These systems and our highly skilled
staff have allowed us to compete with larger financial institutions. The
combination of sophisticated technology and personal service sets us apart from
our competition. We strive to be the leading community bank in our market.



                                       25

We offer a full range of banking services to individuals, small to medium-sized
businesses and professional service organizations through both traditional and
electronic delivery. We were the first community bank in the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area to offer a full online business banking solution, including
remote check scanners on a business customer's desktop. We offer mobile banking
apps for iPhones, iPads and Android devices that provide for remote deposit of
checks. In addition, we were the first bank headquartered in the Commonwealth of
Virginia to offer CDARS, the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, an
innovative deposit insurance solution that provides FDIC insurance on deposits
up to $150 million. We believe that enhanced electronic delivery systems and
technology increase profitability through greater productivity and cost control
and allow us to offer new and better products and services.



Our products and services include: business and consumer checking, premium
interest-bearing checking, business account analysis, savings, certificates of
deposit and other depository services, as well as a broad array of commercial,
real estate and consumer loans. Internet account access is available for all
personal and business accounts, internet bill payment services are available on
most accounts, and a robust online cash management system is available for

Avenu



On October 25, 2021, MainStreet Bancshares, Inc. formally introduced AvenuTM, a
division of MainStreet Bank. AvenuTM represents the Company's suite of Banking
as a Service ("BaaS") solutions designed to meet the banking needs of Fintech
customers. We believe our approach to providing a proprietary BaaS solution is
unique. Our transformational subledger combined with our high-touch compliance
training goes beyond the industry standards to ensure that our Fintech partners
will prosper. This division of MainStreet Bank currently serves money service
businesses, payment processers, and Banking as a Service customers and provides
the Bank with valuable low-cost deposits and additional streams of fee income.
Our BaaS solution is in the late stage of development. A major component of the
BaaS solution includes a fintech core, which is Software as a Service (SaaS).



MainStreet Community Capital, LLC





In August 2021, the Company created a community development entity ("CDE")
subsidiary, MainStreet Community Capital, LLC, a Virginia limited liability
company, to apply for New Market Tax Credit ("NMTC") allocations from the U.S.
Department of Treasury's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund. To
promote development in economically distressed areas, the NMTC program was
established under the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 to provide tax
incentives for capital investment in disadvantaged market areas that have not
experienced economic expansion. The program establishes a tax credit for
investment in a CDE and ongoing compliance with the program is accomplished
through a governing board and an advisory board which maintains accountability
to residents and businesses in the aforementioned disadvantaged areas. This CDE
will be an intermediary vehicle for the provision of loans and investments in
Low-Income Communities ("LICs"). In January 2022, the Community Development
Financial Institutions Fund ("CDFI") of the United States Department of the
Treasury certified MainStreet Community Capital, LLC as a registered CDE.



Impact of Inflation



Growth in economic activity and demand for goods and services, alongside labor
shortages and supply chain complications have contributed to rising inflation.
In response, the Federal Reserve Board has begun raising interest rates and
signaled that it will continue to raise rates, taper its purchase of mortgage
and other bonds and reduce the size of the balance sheet over time. Inflation
may also have impacts on the Bank's customers, on businesses and consumers and
their ability or willingness to invest, save or spend, and perhaps on their
ability to repay loans. As such, there would likely be impacts on the general
appetite for banking products and the credit health of the Bank's customer base.
The timing and impact of inflation and rising interest rates on our business and
related financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly
uncertain and difficult to predict.



Critical Accounting Policies



The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to
general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the financial
statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are
believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates
and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses
during the periods presented. Critical accounting policies comprise those that
management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and
evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous
estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to
variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial
condition for the current period or in future periods.



Following the announcement by the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority in July
2017 that it will no longer persuade or require banks to submit rates for the
London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) after 2021, central banks and regulators
around the world have commissioned working groups to find suitable replacements
for Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) and other benchmark rates and to implement
financial benchmark reforms more generally. These actions have resulted in
uncertainty regarding the use of alternative reference rates (ARRs) and could
cause disruptions in a variety of markets, as well as adversely impact our
business, operations, and financial results.



                                       26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To facilitate an orderly transition from Interbank Offered Rates ("IBORs") and
other benchmark rates to alternative referecne rates ("ARRs"), the Company has
established an enterprise-wide initiative led by senior management. The
objective of this initiative is to identify, assess and monitor risks associated
with the expected discontinuation or unavailability of benchmarks, including
LIBOR, achieve operational readiness and engage impacted clients in connection
with the transition to ARRs.



Our critical accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions
used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30,
2022 have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2021, other than the items
discussed in our Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.



Comparison of Statements of Income for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021





General



Net income decreased $1.2 million to $5.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 from $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
2021. The decrease in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was
primarily due to a recovery of loan loss provision of $2.0 million over the same
period in 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's net
interest income increased $3.1 million over the same period in 2021. Net income
was also affected by increases of $941,000 in salaries and employee benefits for
the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.



Interest Income



Total interest income increased $2.9 million, or 18.5%, to $18.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 from $15.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in
interest and fees on loans of $2.7 million and an increase in interest on
federal funds sold of $175,000. Total average interest-earning assets increased
$6.1 million, to $1.64 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from
$1.64 billion for the same period in 2021 primarily because of an increase of
$132.2 million in the average balance of loans, a $20.8 million increase in the
average balance of investment securities and was offset by a decrease of
$146.9 million in the average balance of federal funds sold and interest-earning
deposits, as these funds were deployed into loans and securities. The average
yield on our interest-earning assets increased 70 basis points to 4.60% for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 3.90% for the three months
ended June 30, 2021 primarily because of higher average yields on interest
earning assets due to market conditions, loans related to PPP lending with a
rate of 1% paying off, and the Federal Reserve increasing the benchmark interest
rates by 125 basis points over the course of the quarter.



Interest and fees on loans increased $2.7 million, to $18.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 from $15.3 million for the same period in 2021.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on loans and
the average loans outstanding increasing $132.2 million, which increased to
$1.43 billion as of June 30, 2022 from $1.30 billion as of June 30, 2021. The
average yield on loans increased 32 basis points, or 6.8%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Included in average loans for the three months ended June 30, 2022,
$11.4 million was attributable to average PPP loans. PPP loans have an interest
rate of 1% and as the level of PPP loan repayments accelerate, the Bank is
seeing loan yields rise to a normalized level. The Federal Reserve increased the
federal interest rate by 125 basis points throughout the quarter so the impact
of this increase will not be fully demonstrated until the third quarter.



Interest income on federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits increased by
$175,000 to $195,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $20,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in the average yield on these deposits despite the average balances
decreasing over the same time period. The average balance of interest-earning
deposits and federal funds sold decreased $146.9 million to $98.3 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $245.3 million for the same period in
2021. The average yield increased to 0.77% for the three months ended June 30,
2022 from 0.03% for the same period in 2021. The Bank deployed the balances in
these accounts to fund loan growth during the second quarter of 2022.



                                       27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


  Table of Contents




Interest on investment securities increased by $67,000 to $734,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 from $667,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2021. Interest on investments in U.S Treasury, U.S. Government Agencies, and U.S
Municipals decreased in total $3,000, or 1.0%, to $317,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2022, from $320,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $4,000, or 3.5%, to $108,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $112,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2021. Subordinated debt interest income increased by $36,000, or
37.0%, to $132,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $96,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2021. The average yield on taxable securities
decreased 23 basis points, to 2.20%  and the average yield on tax-exempt
securities decreased 27 basis points, to 3.47% on a tax equivalent basis for the
three months ended June 30, 2022, from 2.43% and 3.74%, respectively, for the
same period in 2021. As a decrease in market rates resulted in stagnant yielding
investments, investment income increased due to the average balance of
investment securities increasing by $20.8 million, to $111.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2022, from $90.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2021.



Interest Expense



Total interest expense decreased $191,000, to $2.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021,
primarily due to a $464,000 decrease in interest expense on time deposits and a
$69,000 decrease in interest expense on money market deposits. These decreases
were offset by an increase of $245,000 in interest expense primarily due to
newly issued subordinated debt in 2021 and 2022 and were included in the three
months ended June 30, 2022 over the three months ended June 30, 2021. There were
additional increases in interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances of
$52,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 over the same period in 2021.



Interest expense on deposits decreased $488,000 to $1.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 from $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30,
2021 primarily as a result of a decrease in average interest-bearing deposit
yields and balances. The decrease in average deposit balances was $108.8 million
to $892.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to
$1.00 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the
average balance of interest-bearing deposits was primarily a result of an $88.2
million decrease in the average balance of money market deposit accounts and by
a $39.0 million decrease in the average balance of time deposits. The average
cost of deposits was 82 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2022,
compared to 93 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The
average rate paid on money market deposits decreased 1 basis points to 0.26% for
the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 0.27% for the three months ended June
30, 2021. The average rate paid on interest-bearing demand deposits increased
12 basis points to 0.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 0.32% for
the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to market competition. The
average cost of certificates of deposit decreased by 25 basis points to 1.23%
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 1.48% for the three
months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing demand deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2022,
primarily was the result of our continued effort to attract and retain low-cost
deposits, and to reduce our reliance on wholesale deposits.



Interest expense on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $52,000
to $52,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $0 for the three
months ended June 30, 2021 as a result an average balance of $35.3 million of
outstanding advances for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to no
advances outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The average
balance of subordinated debt increased $32.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2022, due to $30 million in refinanced debt issued in 2021 and an
additional $43.7 million issued in the six months ended June 30, 2022



Net Interest Income



Net interest income increased approximately $3.1 million, or 24.1%, to $16.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $13.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2021 because of our net interest-earning assets
increasing $47.3 million to $644.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
2022 from $597.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The interest
rate spread increased by 68 basis points to 3.52% for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 from 2.84% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The net
interest margin increased by 75 basis points from 3.20% for the three months
ended June 30, 2021 to 3.95% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 on a tax
equivalent basis. Refer to "Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures," below,
for a reconciliation of adjusted net interest margin.

Rate/ Volume Analysis



The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on net
interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects
attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior average
volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume
(changes in average volume multiplied by prior rate). Changes attributable to
both volume and rate are allocated between the volume and rate categories. The
net column represents the sum of the prior columns.



For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which
cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes
due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses



Management believes that the provision recorded for the period ended June 30,
2022 reflects a balance sufficient to provide for each allowance segment, using
objective data and information available to us at this time in evaluating our
standard analysis of local/national economic data, changes in underwriting
quality, portfolio concentrations, experience of lending team, and credit
quality. We will continuously review the loan portfolio to determine the depth
and breadth of potential loan losses. As we obtain additional information and to
more accurately assess the full nature and extent of elevated risk to the loan
portfolio that may arise, additional provision expenses may be required.



The provision for loan losses, which is an operating expense, is maintained to
ensure that the allowance for loan losses is maintained at levels we consider
necessary and appropriate to absorb both probable and reasonably estimated
credit losses at a balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance
for loan losses, we consider past and current loss experience, evaluations of
real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending,
adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay a loan and the
levels of non-performing loans. The amount of the allowance is based on
estimates, and actual losses may vary from such estimates as more information
becomes available over time or economic conditions change. This evaluation is
inherently subjective, as it requires estimates and assumptions that are
susceptible to significant revision as circumstances change as more information
becomes available. The allowance for loan losses is assessed monthly and
provisions are made for loan losses as required in order to maintain the
allowance.



Provision for loan losses increased by $2.6 million to a provision for loan
losses of $480,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from a provision
recovery of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which was
normalized from the pandemic provision recovery for the same time period in
2021. Loan originations, which totaled approximately $128.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $47.9 million compared to loan
originations, of $176.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The
Company has not provisioned any allowance for loan losses for remaining PPP
loans as they are 100% guaranteed by Small Business Administration. The Company
did not have any non-performing loans at June 30, 2021 or June 30, 2022.



During the three months ended June 30, 2022, special mention loans decreased
$1.0 million for a balance of $16.1 million. Substandard loans increased $8.6
million as of June 30, 2022 for a balance of $13.8 million. Of the substandard
loans as of June 30, 2022, 79% are connected to the hospitality industry. These
loans were initially impacted by the pandemic and were downgraded out of an
abundance of caution while cash flows and occupancy levels have continued to
increase to pre-pandemic levels. Management does not believe there will be
losses associated with these credits. During the three months ended June 30,
2022, there were no charge-offs incurred, and recoveries of $2,000 were
received.

Non-Interest Income



Non-interest income decreased $291,000, or 18.7%, to $1.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30,
2021. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to gains on the sale
of SBA guaranteed loans that occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2021
that did not occur in 2022. The decrease associated with that transaction was
offset by an increase in loan swap fee income recognized of $101,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company continues to focus on increasing
fee income through loan swaps as it strategically benefits our customers.



Non-Interest Expense



Non-interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 20.6%, to $9.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 from $7.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2021 primarily because of increases in salary and employee
benefits of $941,000 and outside service expenses of $287,000. Salaries and
employee benefits expense increased by $941,000 to $5.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2022 from $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2021primarily as a result of seventeen employees and the related salary and
benefit expenses for these additional employees. Outside service expenses
increased $287,000, or 102.5%, to $567,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2022 from $280,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to investments
in technology and costs associated with Avenu. Franchise taxes decreased
approximately $34,000 to $352,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from
$386,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 because of the make up of the
Company's capital as of June 30, 2022 compared to the balance sheet as of June
30, 2021. FDIC insurance premiums decreased approximately $210,000 to $150,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $360,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2021 due to smaller than anticipated assessments from the FDIC.
Advertising and marketing expenses increased $172,000, or 42.8%, to $574,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $402,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2021 due to timing of contracts and continued investment in
expanding the Company's brand.



Income Tax Expense



Income tax expense decreased $146,000, or 9.0%, to a tax expense of $1.5 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from a tax expense of $1.6 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in federal income tax expense
for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period a year ago
was driven by the decrease in income before income taxes of $1.3 million, to
income before income tax of $7.4 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to income
before income tax expense of 8.8 million for the same period in the prior year.
The Company was able to apply and claim a research and development tax credit of
approximately $89,000 for its associated work in developing a software platform.
As a result of expanding its footprint, the Company has included assessments in
income tax expense for potential state tax liabilities which totaled $116,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the three months ended June 30,
2022, the Company had an effective tax expense rate of 20.0%, compared to
effective tax expense rate of 18.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.



Comparison of Statements of Income for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021





General



Net income decreased $1.2 million to $11.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 2022 from $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease
in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to
non-reoccurring recovery of provision for loan losses of $1.8 million taken in
the same period in 2021, combined with a $1.2 million normalized provision for
loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended
June 30, 2022, the Company's net interest income increased $4.9 million over the
same period in 2021. Net income was also affected by increases of $1.7 million
in salaries and employee benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2022
compared to the same period in 2021.



Interest Income



Total interest income increased $4.0 million, or 12.2%, to $36.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 from $32.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in interest and
fees on loans of $3.6 million and an increase in interest on federal funds and
interest-bearing deposits of $194,000. Total average interest-earning assets
decreased $11.2 million, to $1.61 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022
from $1.62 billion for the same period in 2021 primarily because of a decrease
of $128.6 million in the average balance of federal funds sold and
interest-earning deposits, a $22.0 million increase in the average balance of
investment securities and an increase of $95.4 million in the average balance of
loans as a large portion of our cash was used to fund loan growth late in the
first quarter. The average yield on our interest-earning assets increased
53 basis points to 4.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to
4.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily because of higher average
yields on interest earning assets due to market conditions, loans related to PPP
lending with a rate of 1% paying off, and the Federal Reserve increasing the
benchmark interest rates by 150 basis points.



Interest and fees on loans increased $3.6 million, to $34.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 from $31.0 million for the same period in 2021. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on loans and the
average loans outstanding increasing $95.4 million, which increased to
$1.41 billion as of June 30, 2022 from $1.31 billion as of June 30, 2021. The
average yield on loans increased 19 basis points, or 4.0%, for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Included
in average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2022, $25.2 million was
attributable to average PPP loans. PPP loans have an interest rate of 1% and as
the level of PPP loan repayments accelerate, the Bank is seeing loan yields rise
to a normalized level. The Federal Reserve increased the federal interest rate
by 150 basis points over the first six months so the impact of these increases
will not be fully demonstrated until the second part of the year.



Interest income on federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits increased by
$194,000 to $229,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $35,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in the average yield on these deposits despite the average balances
decreasing over the same time period. The average balance of interest-earning
deposits and federal funds sold decreased $128.6 million to $91.1 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $219.6 million for the same period in
2021. The average yield increased to 0.51% for the six months ended June 30,
2022 from 0.03% for the same period in 2021. The Bank deployed the balances in
these accounts to fund loan growth during the first six months of 2022.

Interest on investment securities increased by $166,000 to $1.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 from $1.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 2021. Interest on investments in U.S Treasury, U.S. Government Agencies, and
U.S Municipals increased in total $6,000, or 0.9%, to $652,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2022, from $647,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2021. Interest on mortgage-backed securities increased by 37,000, or 21.9%, to
$208,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $170,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2021. Subordinated debt interest income increased by
$78,000, or 43.4%, to $256,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from
$179,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The average yield on taxable
securities decreased 12 basis points, to 2.09%  and the average yield for
tax-exempt securities decreased 27 basis points, on a tax equivalent basis, for
the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 3.77% and 3.507%, respectively, for the
same period in 2021. As a decrease in market rates resulted in stagnant yielding
investments, investment income increased due to the average balance of
investment securities increasing by $22.0 million, to $112.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2022, from $90.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2021



Interest Expense



Total interest expense decreased $902,000, to $4.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 from $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021,
primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense on time deposits
and a $227,000 decrease in interest expense on money market deposits. These
decreases were offset by an increase of $475,000 in interest expense primarily
due to refinancing subordinated debt in 2021 and newly issued subordinated debt
in 2022 that was included in the six months ended June 30, 2022 over the six
months ended June 30, 2021. There were additional increases in interest expense
on Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $83,000 in the six months ended June 30,
2022 over the same period in 2021.



Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.5 million to $3.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 from $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2021 primarily as a result of a decrease in average interest-bearing deposit
yields and balances. The decrease in average deposit balances was $131.0 million
to $885.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to
$1.02 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the
average balance of interest-bearing deposits was primarily a result of a $116.5
million decrease in the average balance of money market deposit accounts and by
a $31.1 million decrease in the average balance of time deposits. The average
cost of deposits was 79 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2022,
compared to 98 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The average
rate paid on money market deposits decreased 5 basis points to 0.22% for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 from 0.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The average rate paid on interest-bearing demand deposits increased 9 basis
points to 0.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 0.32% for the six
months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to market competition. The average cost
of certificates of deposit decreased by 43 basis points to 1.25% for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 1.68% for the six months ended June
30, 2021. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing demand
deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily was the result of our
continued effort to attract and retain low-cost deposits. and to reduce our
reliance on wholesale deposits.



Interest expense on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $83,000
to $83,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $0 for the six months
ended June 30, 2021 as a result an average balance of $36.2 million of
outstanding advances on the Federal Home Loan Bank for the six months ended June
30, 2022 compared to no advances for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The
average balance of subordinated debt increased $30.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022, due to an additional $30 million in refinanced debt issued
in 2021 and $43.7 million issued in the six months ended June 30, 2022.



Net Interest Income



Net interest income increased approximately $4.9 million, or 18.3%, to
$31.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $26.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2021 because of our net interest-earning assets
increasing $52.8 million to $630.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2022 from $577.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The interest
rate spread increased by 64 basis points to 3.55% for the six months ended June
30, 2022 from 2.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The net interest
margin increased by 63 basis points from 3.31% for the six months ended June 30,
2021 to 3.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 on a tax equivalent basis.

Rate/ Volume Analysis



The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on net
interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects
attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior average
volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume
(changes in average volume multiplied by prior rate). Changes attributable to
both volume and rate are allocated between the volume and rate categories. The
net column represents the sum of the prior columns.



For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which
cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes
due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Loan Losses



Management believes that the provision recorded for the period ended June 30,
2022 reflects a balance sufficient to provide for each allowance segment, using
objective data and information available to us at this time in evaluating our
standard analysis of local/national economic data, changes in underwriting
quality, portfolio concentrations, experience of lending team, and credit
quality. We will continuously review the loan portfolio to determine the depth
and breadth of potential loan losses. As we obtain additional information and to
more accurately assess the full nature and extent of elevated risk to the loan
portfolio that may arise, additional provision expenses may be required.



The provision for loan losses, which is an operating expense, is maintained to
ensure that the allowance for loan losses is maintained at levels we consider
necessary and appropriate to absorb both probable and reasonably estimated
credit losses at a balance sheet date. In determining the level of the allowance
for loan losses, we consider past and current loss experience, evaluations of
real estate collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending,
adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay a loan and the
levels of non-performing loans. The amount of the allowance is based on
estimates, and actual losses may vary from such estimates as more information
becomes available over time or economic conditions change. This evaluation is
inherently subjective, as it requires estimates and assumptions that are
susceptible to significant revision as circumstances change as more information
becomes available. The allowance for loan losses is assessed monthly and
provisions are made for loan losses as required in order to maintain the
allowance.



Provision for loan losses increased by $3.0 million to a provision for loan
losses of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from a
non-reoccuring recovery of provision expense of $1.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021, primarialy related to recovering most of the special COVID
pandemic provision in 2021. The provision for loan losses for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 represents normal loan loss provisioning associated with
loan growth. Loan originations, which totaled approximately $186.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $63.0 million compared to loan
originations of $248.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The
Company has not provisioned any allowance for loan losses for remaining PPP
loans as they are 100% guaranteed by Small Business Administration. The Company
did not have any non-performing loans at June 30, 2021 or at June 30, 2022.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 the Company increased some qualitative
assumptions in the allowance for loan loss model to account for potential
economic uncertainty we may experience. The changes in assumptions increased our
allowance for loan losses compared to total gross by 5 basis points, to a level
management deems appropriate.



During the six months ended June 30, 2022, special mention loans decreased
$733,000 for a balance of $16.1 million. Substandard loans increased $8.6
million for a balance of $13.8 million as of June 30, 2022 Of the substandard
loans, 79% are connected to the hospitality industry. These loans were initially
impacted by the pandemic and were downgraded out of an abundance of caution
while cash flows and occupancy levels have continued to increase to pre-pandemic
levels. Management does not believe there will be losses associated with these
credits. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no charge-offs
incurred, and recoveries of $5,000 were received.

Non-Interest Income



Non-interest income decreased $576,000, or 19.2%, to $2.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 from $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30,
2021. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to a gain on sale of
loans that occurred in the six months ended June 30, 2021 that did not occur in
2022, as well a mortgage origination fees decreasing $272,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. These
decreases were offset by increases in deposit account service fees of $49,000
and $105,000 in bank owned life insurance income for the six months ended June
30, 2022. The deposit account services fees increased primarily due to more
customer activity in the six months ended June 30, 2022 than the same period in
2021. The Company also recognized $101,000 in loan swap fee income for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 and continues to focus on increasing fee income
through loan swaps as it strategically benefits our customers.



Non-Interest Expense



Non-interest expense increased $2.8 million, or 17.7%, to $18.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 from $15.7 million for the six months ended June
30, 2021 primarily because of increases in salary and employee benefits of $1.7
million and advertising and marketing expenses of $303,000. Salaries and
employee benefits expense increased by $1.7 million to $11.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 from $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2021primarily as a result of seventeen employees and the related salary and
benefit expenses for these additional employees. Advertising and marketing
expenses increased $303,000, or 44.8%, to $980,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2022 from $677,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to new
strategic partnerships and timing of initiatives. Other outside services expense
increased $319,000, or 51.8%, to $935,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2022 as the Company continues to build out its Avenu platform. Franchise taxes
decreased approximately $73,000 to $699,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2022 from $772,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 because of the make up
of the Company's capital as of June 30, 2022 compared to the balance sheet as
of June 30, 2021. FDIC insurance premiums decreased approximately $330,000 to
$390,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $720,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2021 due to lower than anticipated assessments from the FDIC.



Income Tax Expense



Income tax expense decreased $315,000, or 10.6%, to a tax expense of
$2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from a tax expense of
$3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in federal
income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same
period a year ago was driven by the decrease in income before income taxes of
$1.5 million, to income before income tax of $14.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 compared to income before income tax expense of
$15.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The Company was able to
apply and claim a research and development tax credit of approximately $89,000
for its associated work in developing a software platform. As a result of
expanding its footprint, the Company has included assessments in income tax
expense for potential state tax liabilities which totaled $224,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company
had an effective tax expense rate of 18.9%, compared to effective tax expense
rate of 19.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.



Comparison of Statements of Financial Condition at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021





Total Assets



Total assets increased $146.0 million, or 8.9%, to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2022
from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of
increases in the loan portfolio of $75.1 million, $43.3 million in securities
available-for-sale and $18.2 million in other assets. These increases were
offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in held-to-maturity securities as of June
30, 2022.



Investment Securities



Investment securities increased $40.7 million, or 33.8%, from $120.3 million at
December 31, 2021 to $160.9 million at June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily
in the available-for-sale portfolio, particularly in U.S treasury securities.
At June 30, 2022, our held-to-maturity portion of the securities portfolio, at
amortized cost, was $17.7 million, and our available-for-sale portion of the
securities portfolio, at fair value, was $143.2 million compared to our
held-to-maturity portion of the securities portfolio of $20.3 million and our
available-for-sale portion of the securities portfolio of $99.9 million at
December 31, 2021.



Net Loans



Net loans increased $75.1 million, or 5.6%, to $1.42 billion at June 30, 2022
from $1.34 billion at December 31, 2021. Residential real estate loans increased
$66.4 million, or 22.1%, to $366.8 million at June 30, 2022 from $300.4 million
at December 31, 2021. Commercial real estate loans increased by $65.5 million
from $534.2 million at December 31, 2021 to $599.7 million at June 30, 2022.
Commercial and industrial loans decreased by $71.3 million from $164.0 million
at December 31, 2021 to $92.7 million at June 30, 2022. Paycheck Protection
Program loans comprised $4.0 million of this portfolio as of June 30, 2022.
Commercial and industrial loans, excluding PPP loans, decreased by $17.0 million
from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022. Construction loans increased $20.9
million to $358.1 million at June 30, 2022 from $337.2 million at December 31,
2021. Consumer loans decreased by $5.9 million from $23.2 million at December
31, 2021 to $17.2 million at June 30, 2022. The $5.9 million decrease in
consumer loans is primarily a result of management's decision to let the
indirect lending portfolio amortize off the balance sheet.

Allowance for Loan Losses



The allowance for loan losses represents an amount that, in our judgment, will
be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
provision for loan losses increases the allowance, and loans charged off, net of
recoveries, reduce the allowance. The table below summarizes the allowance
activity for the periods indicated:

Deposits



Deposits increased $88.2 million, or 6.2% to $1.50 billion at June 30, 2022 from
$1.41 billion at December 31, 2021. Our core deposits decreased $13.7 million,
or 1.2%, to $1.09 billion at June 30, 2022 from $1.11 billion at December 31,
2021. The decrease in core deposits was due to the Company strategically
executing some short term wholesale deposits to support loan
growth. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $4.9 million, or 0.9%, to
$535.6 million at June 30, 2022 from $530.7 million at December 31, 2021.
Savings and NOW deposits decreased $27.0 million, or 31.7% to $58.2 million
at June 30, 2022 from $85.2 million at December 31, 2021. Offsetting these
decreases were increases in certificates of deposits of $116.8 million, or
25.4%, to $576.0 million at June 30, 2022 from $459.1 million at December 31,
2021 and in interest bearing demand deposits of $30.0 million, or 43.3%, to
$99.2 million at June 30, 2022 from $69.2 million at December 31, 2021. The
increase in interest bearing demand deposit accounts and time deposits were
primarily the result of executing on a strategy to continue decreasing our cost
of funds while continuing to driving loan growth.

Liquidity and Capital Resources





Liquidity Management. Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial
obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is
primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of
our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Deposits are the
primary source of funds for lending and investing activities; however, the
Company also utilizes wholesale deposits as a funding source in addition to
customer deposits. Scheduled payments, as well as prepayments, and maturities
from portfolios of loans and investment securities also provide a stable source
of funds. FHLB advances, other secured borrowings, federal funds purchased, and
other short-term borrowed funds, as well as longer-term debt issued through the
capital markets, all provide supplemental liquidity sources. The Company's
funding activities are monitored and governed through the Company's
asset/liability management process. MainStreet Bank had no Federal Home Loan
Bank advances outstanding and unused borrowing capacity of $441.2 million as
of June 30, 2022. Additionally, at June 30, 2022, we had the ability to borrow
up to $104.0 million from other financial institutions.



The Board of Directors, management, and the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) are
responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies
in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing
needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated
contingencies. We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy
our short and long-term liquidity needs as of June 30, 2022.



We monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment
of expected loan demand; expected deposit flows; yields available on
interest-earning deposits and securities; and the objectives of our
asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally
in interest-earning deposits and short-and intermediate-term securities.



While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are
predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our
most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which include federal funds
sold and interest-earning deposits in other banks. The levels of these assets
are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities
during any given period. At June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled
$102.6 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide
additional sources of liquidity, totaled $143.2 million at June 30, 2022.



Our cash flows are provided by and used in three primary activities: operating
activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $14.0 million and $17.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. There were no sales of
securities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 or for six months ended June
30, 2021. Net cash used in investing activities, which consist primarily of
disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by
principal collections on loans and proceeds from maturing securities, was $129.2
million and $274,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021,
respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities was $124.7 million and
$51.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively,
which consisted primarily of increases subordinated debt net of issuance costs
of $42.6 million offset and increases in interest bearing deposits of $83.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.



We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our
liquidity position daily. We anticipate that we have sufficient funds to meet
our current funding commitments. Certificates of deposit due within one year
of June 30, 2022, totaled $415.3 million of total deposits. If these deposits do
not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds,
including other deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and commitments from
other financial institutions. Depending on market conditions, we may be required
to pay higher rates on such deposits or borrowings than we currently pay. We
believe, however, based on experience that a significant portion of such
deposits will remain with us. We can attract and retain deposits by adjusting
the interest rates offered.



Capital Management. MainStreet Bank is subject to various regulatory capital
requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital
guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating
risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet
items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2022, MainStreet Bank exceeded all
regulatory capital requirements and was considered "well capitalized" under
regulatory guidelines.



On January 19, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company declared an initial
cash dividend to common shareholders. A second quartely divided was declared and
paid in April of 2022. The Board of Directors will consider future dividends on
a quarterly basis after its review of the Company's financial condition, results
of operations, and other factors.



Regulatory Capital



Information presented for June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, reflects the
Basel III capital requirements that became effective January 1, 2015 for the
Bank. Under these capital requirements and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The
Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative
judgments by regulators about components, risk- weightings and other factors.

The Basel III Capital Rules, a comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking
organizations, became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015
(subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions). Under the Basel III
rules, the Company must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately
capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer for 2022
is 2.50%. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total
capital, Common Equity Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30,
2022, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which
each is subject.



The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table (dollars
in thousands):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations





Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to
various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments
to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations
represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to
extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject
to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make.
At June 30, 2022, we had outstanding loan commitments of $497.5 million and no
outstanding stand-by letters of credit. We anticipate that we will have
sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments.



Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures





The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. GAAP and
prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures
are used by management to supplement the evaluation of the Company's
performance. These measures include adjusted net interest income and net
interest margin.



Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures provides meaningful
information about operating performance by enhancing comparability with other
financial periods and other financial institutions. The non-GAAP measures used
by management enhance comparability by excluding the effects of items that do
not reflect ongoing operating performance, including non-recurring gains or
charges. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an
alternative to U.S. GAAP-basis financial statements, and other bank holding
companies may define or calculate these or similar measures differently. A
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company to
evaluate and measure the Company's performance to the most directly comparable
U.S. GAAP financial measures is presented below.
