Interest on loans is computed by methods which generally result
in level rates of return on principal amounts outstanding.  Loans
are placed on nonaccrual status when it becomes probable that the
borrower will have difficulty meeting either interest or
principal payments and the loan is not in the process of
collection and is not well collateralized.  For loans placed on
nonaccrual, all interest accrued in the current fiscal year is
reversed against income while prior year accrued interest is
charged against the allowance for loan losses.  For payments on
nonaccrual loans and impaired loans, amounts are applied first as
a recovery of principal and then as interest under the cost
recovery method.

BankGroup considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon
current   information and events, it believes it is probable that
BankGroup will be unable to collect all amounts due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  BankGroup's
impaired loans within the scope of SFAS 114 include nonaccrual
loans (excluding those collectively reviewed for impairment),
troubled debt restructurings, and certain other nonperforming
loans.  For collateral dependent loans, BankGroup bases the
measurement of these impaired loans on the fair value of the
loan's collateral properties.  For all other loans, BankGroup
bases the measurement of these impaired loans on the more readily
determinable of the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the
observable market price.  Impairment losses are recognized
through an increase in the allowance for loan losses and a
corresponding charge to the provision for loan losses.
Adjustments to impairment losses due to changes in the fair value
of impaired loans' collateral properties are included in the
provision for loan losses.  When an impaired loan is either sold,
transferred to other real estate owned or written down, any
related valuation allowance is charged off against the allowance
for loan losses.

An allowance for loan losses is maintained in order to provide
for losses in collection of loans that can be currently
estimated.  The level of the allowance for loan losses is based
upon the quality of the loan portfolios as determined by
management after consideration of historical loan loss
experience, diversification as to the type of loans in the
portfolios, the amount of collateralized as compared to
uncollateralized loans, banking industry standards and averages,
and general economic conditions.  In preparing the consolidated
financial statements, management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and
income and expense for the period.  Actual results could differ
significantly from these estimates.  In connection with the
determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation
of real estate owned, management obtains independent appraisals
for significant properties.  Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate owned
are adequate.  While management uses available information to
recognize losses on loans and real estate owned, future additions
to the allowance for loan losses and additional write-downs in
the valuation of real estate owned may be necessary based on
changes in economic conditions.  In addition, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review BankGroup's allowance for loan losses and
valuation of real estate owned.  The following table shows the
changes in the allowance for loan losses arising from loans
charged off and recoveries on loans previously charged off by
loan category; and additions to the allowance which have been
charged to operating expenses:

At September 30, 1996, the recorded investment in loans which
have been identified by BankGroup as impaired loans in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of A Loan", totaled $2.3
million.  The total allowance for loan losses related to such
loans was $.5 milion.


6. Contingencies and Other Matters

As reported in prior forms, MainStreet BankGroup has entered into
an agreement to acquire Hanover Bank, Mechanicsville, Virginia
using the pooling of interests method of accounting.  This
transaction should close within the fourth quarter.  Hanover Bank
reported total assets at quarter-end of $106.8 million.  The
bank's year-to-date net income at September 30, 1996 was $989
thousand.  These earnings produced a return on assets of 1.33%
and a return on equity of 15.94%.

BankGroup and its subsidiaries, in the normal course of business,
are involved in various legal actions and proceedings.  It is the
opinion of management that any liabilities, except as disclosed
above, arising from these matters and not covered by insurance,
would not have a material effect on BankGroup's financial
position.


7. Accounting for Stock Based Compensation

On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation.  As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company has chosen
to apply APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting
for its stock based compensation plans.  Accordingly, no
compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed stock plans.
Compensation cost for the Company's stock based compensation
plans based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under
those plans consistent with the method of SFAS 123 was determined
to be immaterial on an income or per share disclosure basis.


8. Acquisition of the First National Bank of Clifton Forge

The closing of the acquisition of First National Bank of Clifton
Forge by MainStreet BankGroup Incorporated was completed on
September 27, 1996 in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of
interests.  All consolidated data as of September 30, 1996
include this acquisition.  All prior period data has been
restated to reflect the acquisition.  The First National Bank of
Clifton Forge had total assets of $100.3 million at September 30,
1996.  Net income year-to-date September 30, 1996 for Clifton
Forge was $988 thousand.  These earnings for the bank produced an
ROA and ROE of 1.57% and 8.90%, respectively.  MainStreet
BankGroup Incorporated, excluding Clifton Forge, had total assets
of $1.0 billion at September 30, 1996.  Net income, excluding
Clifton Forge, was $9.9 million which produced an ROA and ROE of
1.41% and 16.50%, respectively.


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations

Overview

MainStreet BankGroup Incorporated reported record year-to-date
earnings at September 30, 1996 of $10.9 million which was an
increase of $28.7% over year-to-date earnings at September 30,
1995 of $8.4 million.  The 1996 and 1995 incomes equated to $1.07
and $.86 per fully diluted shares, respectively.  The 1996 year-
to date income produced a return on assets and a return on equity
of 1.42% and 15.31%, respectively.  The return on assets and
return on equity for year-to-date 1995 was 1.26% and 15.62%,
respectively.  (The Financial data discussed herein includes, or
is restated, for the acquisiton of The First National Bank of
Clifton Forge on September 27, 1996.  See Note 8.)

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $3.5
million compared to $3.1 million at September 30, 1995, an
increase of 14.3%.  These third quarter earnings for 1996
produced a return on assets of 1.30% and a return on equity of
14.53%.  The return on assets and return on equity for the same
period in 1995 were 1.31% and 16.00%, respectively.


Net Interest Income

Net interest income at September 30, 1996 was $33.9 million
compared to $29.8 million at September 30, 1995, an increase of
13.7%.  The increase in net interest income was principally due
to rising loan demand.  Loan income increased $5.8 million, or
14.5% over 1995 dollars.  Average loans, net of unearned income
at September 30, 1996 were $641.8 million, an increase of $86.7
million, or 15.6% over the $555.1 million in average volume at
September 30, 1995.  Also adding to interest income are the
leveraging transactions.  At September 30, 1996 approximately $80
million in repurchase agreements were solely for the purpose of
leveraging the balance sheet to improve equity.   The net
interest margin was 4.75% at September 30, 1996 compared to 4.85%
at September 30, 1995.  The decline in the margin was partially
due to the shift in deposits away from savings, interest
checking, and money market accounts into time deposits.  Yields
on interest earning assets decreased more than costs on interest
bearing deposits and borrowings.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1996
was $11.9 million compared to $10.2 million for the third quarter
of 1995, producing an increase of 17.2%.  The net interest margin
for the third quarter of 1996 and 1995 was 4.65% and 4.62%,
respectively.  Average interest-earning assets for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 compared to September 30, 1995
grew $140.9 million, or 15.9%.


Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses year-to-date September 30, 1996 was
$2.2 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period in
1995.  This rise was caused by the increased loan volume.  This
expense for the third quarter of 1996 was $.9 million compared to
$.3 million in the third quarter of 1995.


Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income, excluding securities gains, at
September 30, 1996 increased $1.4 million, or 23.0%, over
noninterest income at September 30, 1995.  Trust income was $2.1
million in 1996, an increase of 24.0% over the $1.7 million in
1995.  Service charges, fees, and other income was $5.2 million
in 1996 compared to $4.2 million in 1995, an increase of 22.6%.
This was caused by several components.  Gains on sale of other
real estate at September 30, 1996 were $342 thousand compared to
losses of $28 thousand at September 30, 1995.  Service charges on
deposit accounts increased $181 thousand over the prior year.
Discount income on accounts receivable increased to $211 thousand
at September 30, 1996 compared to $66 thousand the prior year.
Also adding to the increase were credit card income and check
book sales.

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains, for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 was $2.4 million, an increase of
$.4 million, or 17.6% over the three months ended September 30,
1995.  This increase was caused primarily by the same increases
as the year-to-date income.


Securities Gains

Net securities gains were $638 thousand at the end of the third
quarter of 1996 compared to no net gains or losses at the end of
the third quarter of 1995.  For the three months ended September
30, 1996 losses on securities were $1 thousand compared to gains
of $19 thousand for the same period in 1995.


Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense at September 30, 1996 was $23.8
million, up $.8 million from the $23.0 million at September 30,
1995.  The significant deviations were the $.9 million increase
in other noninterest expense and the $866 thousand decrease in
FDIC insurance premiums.  The increase in the other noninterest
expense category was caused by fees associated with the
acquisitions of the First National Bank of Clifton Forge and
Hanover Bank along with new marketing initiatives and
professional fees associated with the new defined benefit plan
and insurance plans.

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended September
30, 1996 was $8.2 million, up $.6 million, or 7.3% over the same
period in 1995.  The largest category of increase is employee
benefits of $222 thousand.  This is due to compensation expense
recorded on insurance policies effective in 1996 and the latter
part of 1995.

Financial Condition

Total assets at September 30, 1996 were $1.1 billion, up $158.1
million, or 16.3% from December 31, 1995.

Securities available for sale at September 30, 1996 were $296.8
million compared to $210.6 million at December 31, 1995.  This
increase of $86.2 million can be contributed to leveraging
transactions to improve equity.  Securities held to maturity were
down $6.6 million from year-end due to maturities and calls of
securities.

Loans, net of unearned income, were $684.8 million at the end of
the third quarter compared to $604.5 million at year-end December
31, 1995.  This translates into an $80.3 million increase in loan
demand.

Other real estate owned declined $1.1 million from December 31,
1995 to $.5 million at September 30, 1996.

At September 30, 1996, deposits increased $24.8 million from year-
end 1995.  Of this amount demand deposits increased $6.4 million.
Time deposits increased $34.9 million which were offset by a
decline of $6.7 million in interest checking accounts; $8.1
million in savings accounts; and $1.7 million in money market
accounts.  Demand deposits have grown which has helped our
liquidity while at the same time we have seen the shift in
deposits to higher interest-bearing deposits which have
contributed to the decline in the net interest margin.

Short-term debt at September 30, 1996 was $167.2 million compared
to $111.7 million at December 31, 1995, an increase of $55.5
million, or 49.6%.  The components of the short-term debt at
quarter-end were $103.3 million of repurchase agreements; $27.4
million in FHLB borrowings; $15.3 million of federal funds
purchased; $11.2 million in corporate cash management accounts;
and $10.0 million of TT&L notes.  The components of the short-
term debt at year-end 1995 were $37.1 million in repurchase
agreements; $32.4 million in FHLB borrowings; $31.3 million in
federal funds purchased; $10.8 million in corporate cash
management accounts; and $.1 million in TT&L notes.  The largest
increase was in the repurchase agreements which have been used to
fund loan growth and to leverage the balance sheet.

Long-term debt was $70.9 million at September 30, 1996 compared
to $.9 million December 31, 1995.  The long-term debt was FHLB
borrowings.  Of the amount at quarter end $45.0 million is
callable in February 1997.  These borrowings have also been used
to fund loan growth and to leverage the balance sheet.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans at the end of September 30, 1996 totaled $4.3
million compared to $5.4 million at December 31, 1995.  The ratio
of nonperforming loans to loans, net of unearned income, improved
to .63% at September 30, 1996 compared to .90% at year-end 1995.
Of the September 30, 1996 nonperforming loans, $2.7 million
consisted of nonaccrual loans compared to $3.4 million at
December 31, 1995.  The ratio of the allowance for loan loss
reserves to nonperforming loans was 210.42% and 153.13% at
September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  The net
charge-off ratio at September 30, 1996 was .29% of average loans,
net of unearned income, compared to .25% at December 31, 1995.

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 1996 was $95.7
million compared to $90.5 million at December 31, 1995.  At
September 30, 1996, the leverage and total risk-based capital
ratios were 8.61% and 15.57%, respectively.  This compares to the
same ratios of 8.49% and 16.33% at December 31, 1995.  Our
capital position remains strong with ratios substantially above
regulatory prescribed minimums.

Financial reporting in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 requires an adjustment to
shareholders' equity for net unrealized gains/losses in the
available for sale securities portfolio.  This unrealized loss,
net of tax, at September 30, 1996 was $2.0 million compared to
$.6 million at year-end 1995.

Liquidity

While the actual loan-to-deposit ratio increased to 86.1% from
78.4% at year-end 1995, liquidity remains adequate.  Management
believes the shifting of the deposit mix to time deposits should
ultimately provide a greater level of stability in overall
deposits.  Demand deposits at September 30, 1996 were $107.9
million, an increase of $6.4 million from year-end 1995.  The
large liability dependency ratio has increased to 28.3% at
September 30, 1996 from 19.58% at December 31, 1995.  This was
due to rising loan demand increasing over deposit growth funded
by borrowed funds.
