Item 5.  Other Events

MainStreet BankShares, Inc. filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that became effective on August 24, 2001. An
amendment to the prospectus was filed October 29, 2002. The registration
statement was a secondary offering to offer a minimum of 510,850 shares of
common stock and a maximum of 801,807 shares of common stock to the public at
$10.50 per share. The registration statement also offered 60,574 shares of
common stock at $10.50 per share to the organizing directors of Franklin
Community Bank, N.A. The primary reason for the secondary offering was to
organize and capitalize Franklin Community Bank, N.A. ("Franklin Bank"), to be
an additional wholly owned subsidiary of MainStreet BankShares, Inc. along with
the wholly owned subsidiary of Smith River Community Bank, N.A.

Franklin Community Bank, N.A., was organized as a nationally chartered
commercial bank and member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Franklin
Bank received its preliminary approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency ("OCC") on October 24, 2001 and from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") on November 2, 2001. Final approval was received from the
OCC on September 12, 2002 and from the FDIC on September 12, 2002 with
permission to open on September 16, 2002. The State Corporation Commission and
the Federal Reserve Bank, N.A. both gave approvals for MainStreet BankShares,
Inc. to acquire 100% of the stock of Franklin Community Bank, N.A. on July 23,
2002 and July 18, 2002, respectively. On September 13, 2002, the escrow funds
were released from First Citizens Bank and Company, Inc. after having received
all requirements, to MainStreet BankShares, Inc. MainStreet BankShares, Inc.
then purchased the stock of Franklin Community Bank, N.A. Franklin Community
Bank, N.A. did open for business on September 16, 2002. Franklin Bank plans to
operate, much like Smith River Community Bank, N.A., as a locally-owned and
operated commercial bank emphasizing personal customer service and other
advantages incident to banking with a locally-owned community bank. In the early
years, it will rely on local advertising and the personal contacts of its
directors and employees, and our shareholders to attract customers and business
to the Bank. The Franklin Bank will initially be located at 400 Old Franklin
Turnpike, Suite 108, Rocky Mount, Virginia.

As provided in the registration statement, the offering would terminate at June
30, 2002 if the minimum of all shares of common stock to the public and the
organizers of 571,424 had not been sold, but MainStreet BankShares, Inc reserved
the right to extend the offering to December 31, 2002. The Board of Directors of
MainStreet BankShares, Inc. voted unanimously at a regular meeting of the board
on June 19, 2002, to extend the offering to September 30, 2002. At a regularly
scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors of MainStreet BankShares, Inc., on
September 18, 2002, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to extend the
offering to December 31, 2002.

On December 31, 2002, the secondary offering provided by the registration
statement and the amendment to the registration statement was terminated.

total proceeds of $7,135,821 in the secondary offering.
