</TABLE>

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 March 31, 1997, 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 $3.9 million.   The portion of the allowance for loan losses
related to such loans was $1.1 million.

5. Contingencies and Other Matters
  --------------------------------

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 arising from these matters and not covered by insurance, would
not have a material effect on BankGroup's financial position.


6. Earnings Per Share
  ------------------

The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
128, "Earnings Per Share," on December 31, 1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires the
Company to change its method of computing, presenting and disclosing earnings
per share informtion.  Upon adoption, all prior period data presented will be
restated to conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

If the Company had adopted SFAS No. 128 for the period ended March 31, 1997, the
following computation would have been used to arrive at basic income per common
share and diluted income per common share that would have been presented on the
consolidated statements of income:

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


OVERVIEW
- --------

MainStreet BankGroup Incorporated reported first quarter earnings in 1997 of
$3.9 million which was flat compared to first quarter earnings in 1996 of $3.9
million.  The 1997 and 1996 incomes equated to $.34 per share on a primary and a
fully diluted basis.  The 1997 return on assets and return on equity were 1.21%
and 14.22%, respectively.  The 1996 return on assets and return on equity were
1.47% and 15.41%, respectively.  The 1997 income was impacted by a check-kiting
scheme which surfaced at the end of the first quarter.  The entire amount of the
loss was recorded at $635,000, which net of tax translates into a loss of
$413,000.  The Corporation is pursuing recovery of this loss, but at this time
cannot approximate the recovery.

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

Net interest income was $12.7 million for the quarter ended March 1997 compared
to $11.9 million for the quarter ended March 1996, an increase of .8 million, or
6.7%.  Total interest income increased $3.6 million over 1996 levels while total
interest expense increased $2.8 million over the same period.  The net interest
margin for the first quarter of 1997 and 1996 was 4.23% and 4.82%, respectively.
The yield on earning assets for March 31, 1997 and 1996 was 8.33% and 8.73%,
respectively.  The cost of funds was 4.10% and 3.91% for March 31, 1997 and
March 31, 1996, respectively.  The largest item to impact the net interest
margin for period ending March 31, 1997 was the prepayment speeds of the
adjustable rate mortgage backed bonds.  High levels of prepayments caused
additional expense to be recorded related to the amortization of  these bond
premiums.  This expense, which reduced net income, was offset by realizing
market gains on these securities.  Interest on securities available for sale
increased over last year by $2.3 million due to increased volume attributable to
leveraging transactions.  Average loan volume increased $108.5 million over 1996
levels which increased loan income.  The interest expense increase was centered
in short-term and long-term borrowings which together increased $2.6 million in
the year to year comparison.  These borrowings were part of the leveraging
transactions.


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
- -------------------------

The provision for loan losses was relatively flat for March 31, 1997 compared to
March 31, 1996.  The expense for both periods was $.9 million.  There were
additional provisions made in the first quarter of 1996 to catch up the
provision to increased loan volumes.


NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------

Total noninterest income, excluding securities gains, for the first quarter of
1997 was $2.9 million compared to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 1996, an
increase of 7.0%.  The 1997 income included net losses on other real estate of
$18 thousand compared to gains in 1996 of $394 thousand.  With other real estate
factored out of noninterest income and excluding securities gains, noninterest
income increased $.6 million, or 26.2%, partially attributable to income from
bank owned life insurance which was purchased in the latter part of 1996.  This
income for the first quarter of 1997 was $.2 million.  Service charges on
deposit accounts increased $.1 million at March 31, 1997 over the same period in
1996, an increase of 19.3%.  The remainder of the increase was mainly due to
credit life insurance and transaction card income.


SECURITIES GAINS
- ----------------

Securities gains were $.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared
to $.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.  As previously mentioned,
high levels of prepayments on adjustable rate mortgage backed securities
accelerated expense related to amortization of bond premiums.  This expense was
offset by realizing market gains on these securities.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------

Total noninterest expense at March 31, 1997 was $9.8 million, an increase of
$1.5 million, or 18.0%, in comparison to the same period a year ago.  Salaries
and employee benefits increased $.8 million at March 31, 1997 in comparison to
March 31, 1996.  This increase in expense was due to several initiatives
undertaken by the Corporation.  Two additional branches were opened in the
latter part of 1996.  A new risk management function was added to the Holding
Company in late 1996.  Also in the latter part of 1996, a telebanking center was
established and staffed which will allow customers access to their accounts
twenty-four hours a day.  Other noninterest expense increased $.7 million,
primarily due to a loss from a check-kiting scheme that surfaced in the latter
part of the first quarter.  The entire pretax loss of $.6 million was expensed.


FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Total assets at March 31, 1997 were $1.4 billion, an increase of $73.0 million
from year end, December 31, 1996.

Securities available for sale were $402.2 million at March 31, 1997 compared to
$335.0 million at December 31, 1996, an increase of $67.2 million, or 20.06%.
This increase was due to the Corporation investing in additional adjustable rate
mortgages funded by repurchase agreements, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and
increased deposits.  Securities held to maturity at March 31, 1997 declined $5.4
million from December 31, 1996 due to calls and maturities.

Loans, net of unearned income, at March 31, 1997 were $793.2 million, an
increase of $8.8 million from December 31, 1996.  A discussion on credit quality
can be found in the Asset Quality section of this analysis.

Total deposits at March 31, 1997 were $918.7 million compared to $886.5 million
at December 31, 1996, an increase of $32.2 million.  All categories increased
somewhat but the most significant were demand deposits of $6.2 million;
certificates of deposit $100,000 and over at $11.7 million; and other time
deposits at $12.0 million.

Short-term debt at March 31, 1997 was $320.3 million compared to $213.8 million
at December 31, 1996, an increase of $106.5 million.  This increase was
principally in repurchase agreements and FHLB advances due to a shift from long-
term debt and due to additional funding of available for sale securities.  At
March 31, 1997 short-term debt consisted of $97.4 million in FHLB advances;
$158.5 million in repurchase agreements; $42.7 million in federal funds
purchased;  $9.9 million in corporate cash management accounts; $10.0 million in
treasury tax and loan notes; and $1.8 million in other short-term borrowings.
Long-term debt at December 31, 1996 consisted of $45.0 million in callable FHLB
advances, $25.8 million of long-term FHLB advances, and $.2 million in a capital
lease.  The FHLB advances were called in February 1997 and the original long-
term FHLB borrowing matured.  At March 31, 1997, the long-term debt consisted of
$.8 million in FHLB advances and $.2 million in the capital lease.


ASSET QUALITY
- -------------

Nonperforming assets were $6.9 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $7.2
million at December 31, 1996.  Nonperforming loans were $5.9 million and $6.1
million at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  The ratio of
nonperforming loans to loans, net of unearned income, improved slightly to .75%
at March 31, 1997 compared to .78% at December 31, 1996.  At March 31, 1997
nonaccrual loans comprised $3.9 million of the nonperforming loans compared to
$3.1 million at December 31, 1996.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses
to nonperforming loans at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 were 180.15% and
166.15% respectively.  The net charge-off ratio at March 31, 1997 improved to
 .19% compared to .29% at December 31, 1996.  The allowance for loan losses to
actual loans, net of unearned income, was 1.35% and 1.30% at March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, respectively.


SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
- --------------------

Total shareholders' equity, excluding unrealized gains (losses) on securities,
at March 31, 1997 was $108.9 million, an increase of $2.8 million from year-end,
December 31, 1996.  Dividends per share were $.14 per share for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997.  At March 31, 1997, the leverage and total risk-based
capital ratios were 8.12% and 14.68%, respectively.  These same ratios at
December 31, 1996 were 8.37% and 14.84%, respectively.  The capital position
remains strong with ratios substantially above regulatory prescribed minimums.


LIQUIDITY
- ---------

The measurement of liquidity is performed by monitoring ratios that indicate the
level of liquid assets relative to liabilities, the dependence on potential
volatile funding sources, and the relationship of loans to deposits.  While
relying on core deposit relationships as the basis of liquidity, increased loan
demand has resulted in the Corporation seeking alternative sources of liquidity
and utilizing existing sources through a higher level within established
guidelines.  The loan-to-deposit ratio at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996
was 85.41% and 87.44%, respectively.  The large liability dependency ratio was
30.93% and 28.90% at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  The
liquidity ratio at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 was 24.00% and 21.00%,
respectively.
