EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Amendment to Form 8-K is furnished by MetroCorp Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") to amend the contents of the current report on Form 8-K originally furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 20, 2012 in order to reflect revised financial results to record an impairment in the Company's goodwill for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Item 2.02                Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
On March 15, 2012, the Company publicly disseminated a press release announcing revised financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.  For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded an impairment charge on its goodwill of $3.0 million.  The $3.0 million adjustment increased noninterest expense and decreased retained earnings.
 
As a result of the goodwill impairment, revised net loss for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011 was $328,000, or $0.07 loss per diluted common share, compared with $2.7 million net income, or $0.16 earnings per diluted common share previously reported for the period.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, revised net income was $6.4 million, or $0.30 earnings per diluted common share, compared with net income of $9.4 million, or $0.53 earnings per diluted common share previously reported.
 
A copy of the press release announcing the Company's revised financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
 
As provided in General Instruction B.2 to Form 8-K, the information furnished in Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
