                               MAIN STREET BANK
            ANNOUNCES CLOSURE OF GRANITE MORTGAGE CORPORATION, INC.
            -------------------------------------------------------


     Reading, PA, May 12, 2000 -- The Board of Directors of Main Street Bank
announces that the Bank has ceased its Virginia mortgage operations at Granite
Mortgage Corporation, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank based in
Springfield, Virginia.

     Albert L. Evans, Jr., Chairman of the Board, stated "The Board of Directors
has become increasingly concerned over the profitability prospects of Granite
Mortgage Corporation.  The closure of Granite is in line with the Board's and
management's renewed focus on profitability as opposed to expansion."

     "We believe that profitability can best be enhanced by concentrating our
activities in our core market area," continued Evans.

     The Bank anticipates recording a one-time charge of approximately $2.6
million to reflect liabilities accrued with respect to Granite Mortgage
Corporation, Inc.

     Main Street Bank is a state-chartered FDIC-insured community bank and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Main Street Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ, NMS: MBNK), a
Pennsylvania corporation and registered bank holding company headquartered in
Reading, Pennsylvania.
