SOUTHERN NATIONAL BANCORP OF VIRGINIA, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2007

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (“SNBV”) is a corporation formed on July 28, 2004 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is the holding company for Sonabank, N. A. (“Sonabank”) a national bank chartered on April 14, 2005, under the laws of the United States of America. The principal activities of Sonabank are to attract deposits and originate loans as permitted for federally chartered national banks under the laws of the United States of America. Sonabank conducts full-service banking operations in Charlottesville, McLean, Reston, Fairfax, Warrenton and Clifton Forge in Virginia.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and its subsidiary. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U. S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions for Form 10-Q and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U. S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in SNBV’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Use of Estimates

To prepare financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred tax assets, loan servicing rights, and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Other Real Estate Owned

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expenses.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

SNBV has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. The life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized, which is referred to as the cash surrender value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This Statement provides the following: 1) revised guidance on when a servicing asset and servicing liability should be recognized; 2) requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; 3) permits an entity to elect to measure servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value for each reporting date and report changes in fair value in earnings in the period in which the changes occur; 4) upon initial adoption, permits a one time reclassification of available for sale securities to trading securities for securities which are identified as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in the fair value of servicing assets or liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value; and 5) requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional footnote disclosures. This standard became effective January 1, 2007 and SNBV elected to not adopt the fair value measurement method permitted under this standard. Therefore, the adoption of this statement did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS No. 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements, but the application of this Statement may change current practice. Adoption is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We are assessing the effect that SFAS No. 157 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) finalized Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.” This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. We have not completed our evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this standard.

In September 2006, the FASB EITF finalized Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance—Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance).” This issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the policyholder is contractually limited in its ability to surrender a policy. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact upon SNBV.

In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” (“SFAS No. 159”) which provides companies with an option to report

Table of Contents

selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. This statement requires companies to display on the face of the balance sheet the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which they have chosen to use fair value. SFAS 159 also requires companies to provide additional information that will help investors and other users of financial statements to easily understand the effect on earnings of the choice to use fair value. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. This statement is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We are assessing the effect that SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

SNBV adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no effect on our consolidated financial statements. We have no unrecognized tax benefits and do not anticipate any increase in unrecognized benefits during 2007 relative to any tax positions taken prior to January 1, 2007. Should the accrual of any interest or penalties relative to unrecognized tax benefits be necessary, it is our policy to record such accruals in our income tax accounts; no such accruals exist as of January 1, 2007. SNBV and it subsidiary file a consolidated U. S. federal tax return and a Virginia state income tax return. These returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for all years after 2004.

2. STOCK- BASED COMPENSATION

In 2004, the Board of Directors adopted a stock options plan that authorized the reservation of up to 302,500 shares of common stock and provided for the granting of stock options to certain directors, officers and employees. The options granted to officers and employees are incentive stock options and the options granted to non-employee directors are non-qualified stock options. The purpose of the plan is to afford key employees an incentive to remain in the employ of SNBV and to assist in the attracting and retaining of non-employee directors by affording them an opportunity to share in SNBV’s future success. Under the plans, the options price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date. The maximum term of the options is ten years and options granted may be subject to a graded vesting schedule.

SNBV accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of FASB Statement No 123 Revised (“SFAS 123R”), “Share Based Payment,” effective January 1, 2006. In 2005 the plan was measured under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Prior to 2006, 168,025 options were granted under the plan. No stock-based compensation cost was reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. In addition, all options granted prior to 2006 were fully vested as of December 31, 2005. Therefore, in 2006, no share-based compensation expense was recognized for these outstanding options.

SNBV granted 5,500 options during the first quarter of 2007. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value options granted in the six months ended June 30, 2007:

 

Dividend yield

     0.00 %

Expected life

     10 years  

Expected volatility

     18.23 %

Risk-free interest rate

     4.81 %

Weighted average fair value per option granted

   $ 6.32

The dividend yield was estimated using historical dividends paid and market value information for SNBV’s stock. An increase in dividend yield will decrease compensation expense.

 

   

Due to SNBV’s short existence, the volatility was estimated using historical volatility of comparative publicly traded financial institutions in the Virginia market for periods approximating the expected option life.

 

   

The risk-free interest rate was developed using the U. S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected life of the options on the grant date. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock compensation expense on future option grants.

SFAS 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation expense for the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, stock-based compensation expense recorded was $2 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, unrecognized compensation expense associated with stock options was $32 thousand which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 5 years.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.

Table of Contents

Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of SNBV to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

The primary purpose of the securities portfolio is to generate income and meet liquidity needs of SNBV through readily saleable financial instruments. The portfolio includes mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, whose prices move inversely with interest rates. At the end of any accounting period, the securities portfolio has unrealized and unrecognized gains and losses. SNBV monitors the portfolio which is subject to liquidity needs, market rate changes and credit risk changes to see if adjustments are needed. The primary concern in an unrealized loss situation is the credit quality of the business behind the instrument. There are 13 securities totaling approximately $29.5 million in the portfolio that are considered temporarily impaired at June 30, 2007. The temporary impairment is caused by higher interest rates since the purchase of the securities and will reverse if interest rates decline in the future; conversely, the temporary impairment will increase if interest rates increase. Management has concluded that these losses are not individually significant, or in the aggregate; the fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or market rates decline, and management has the positive intent and ability to hold to recovery. The following tables present information regarding securities in a continuous unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (in thousands) by duration of time in a loss position:

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

SNBV is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit and funding risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by SNBV to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. We had letters of credit outstanding totaling $549 thousand and $477 thousand as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had unfunded loan commitments approximating $68.1 million and $54.6 million, respectively.

We use the same credit policies in making loan commitments and issuing letters of credit as we do for on balance sheet instruments.

7. INCOME TAXES

Until the second quarter of 2007, SNBV maintained a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. As of the current quarter, however, management concluded that the valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets was no longer necessary given the sustained income and growth over the past six calendar quarters. The tax valuation allowance reversal was $2.5 million, of which $1.9 million was related to the net deferred tax assets obtained in the 1st Service Bank acquisition.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis is presented to aid the reader in understanding and evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of SNBV. This discussion and analysis should be read with the consolidated financial statements, the footnotes thereto, and the other financial data included in this report. Results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be attained for any other period.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements in this report may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, predictions, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualified words (and their derivatives) such as “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” or other statements concerning opinions or judgment of the Company and its management about future events. Although we believe that its expectations with respect to certain forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements of SNBV will not differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from historical results or those anticipated depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the effects of and changes in: general economic conditions, the interest rate environment, legislative and regulatory

Table of Contents

requirements, competitive pressures, new products and delivery systems, inflation, changes in the stock and bond markets, technology, and consumer spending and savings habits. We do not update any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of SNBV.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our accounting policies are in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and with general practices within the banking industry. Management makes a number of estimates and assumptions relating to reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during periods presented. Different assumptions in the application of these methods or policies could result in material changes in our financial statements. As such, the following policies are considered “critical accounting policies” for us.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established and maintained at levels management and the board of directors deem adequate to absorb anticipated credit losses from identified and otherwise inherent risks in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, we review the quality of, and risks in, loans in the portfolio. We also consider such factors as:

 

   

composition of the loan portfolio;

 

   

value and adequacy of the collateral;

 

   

current economic conditions;

 

   

historical loan loss experience; and

 

   

other known internal and external factors that affect collectability as of the report date.

An analysis of the credit quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is prepared by our executive credit officer and presented to our board of directors for review and approval on at least a quarterly basis. We may determine, based on our analysis, which includes risk factors such as charge-off rates, past dues, portfolio composition and loan growth, that our future loan loss provision needs to increase or decrease in order for us to maintain the allowance at a level sufficient to absorb probable incurred credit losses. If we become aware that any of these factors has materially changed, our estimate of credit losses in the loan portfolio and the related allowance could also change. The allowance consists of general and unallocated components. The value of the general reserve is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that affect management’s estimate of probable losses.

While it is our policy to charge off loans in the current period when a loss is considered probable, there are additional risks of future losses which cannot be quantified precisely or attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Because these risks include the state of the economy, management’s judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily approximate and imprecise.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

SNBV recorded $10.5 million of goodwill, $5.2 million of core deposit intangible assets and $707 thousand of mortgage loan servicing assets in association with its acquisition of 1st Service Bank in 2006 and the Clifton Forge branch in 2005. SNBV is required to perform at least annually an assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets to determine potential impairment. Also, management, on an on-going basis, informally reviews and analyzes certain transactions or events that may indicate potential impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets throughout the year. The analysis and determination of potential impairment and the identification of relevant factors and events indicating potential impairment require a high degree of judgment from management. SNBV will perform a formal assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets in September 2007. No such events were identified in 2007 to cause us to believe that goodwill or other intangible assets were impaired.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance reversal of $1.9 million related to the net deferred tax assets obtained in the 1st Service Bank acquisition was recognized as an adjustment to goodwill. As of June 30, 2007, the amount of goodwill is $8.5 million.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Asset

We evaluate deferred tax assets quarterly. We will realize this asset to the extent we are profitable or carry back tax losses to periods in which we paid income taxes. Our determination of the realization of the deferred tax asset will be based upon management’s judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income we will earn and the implementation of various tax plans to maximize realization of the deferred tax assets. Management believes we will generate sufficient operating earnings to realize the deferred tax benefits. Examinations of our income tax returns or changes in tax law may impact the tax liabilities and resulting provisions for income taxes.

OVERVIEW

Sonabank commenced operations in April 2005, and we had our first profitable quarter in the period ended December 31, 2005.

In December 2005, we closed on the purchase of a branch in Clifton Forge where we acquired $42.5 million in deposits, $7.1 million in loans and $2.4 million in retail repurchase agreements as well as the branch banking center and other assets in the amount of $2.2 million. As part of the purchase price allocation, Sonabank recorded $3.1 million in core deposit intangibles. The core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over 7 years.

On November 6, 2006, SNBV closed on the initial public offering of its common stock, $0.01 par value. All 2,000,000 shares of common stock registered in the offering, including 214,000 shares of common stock covered by an over- allotment option granted to the underwriter, were sold at a price to the public of $14.00 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds from the shares of common stock sold by SNBV were $28.0 million. The aggregate net proceeds to SNBV from the offering were approximately $26.4 million after deducting an aggregate of $866 thousand in underwriting commissions and $713 thousand in other expenses incurred in connection with the offering.

SNBV contributed most of the net proceeds of this offering to Sonabank to provide capital to support its internal asset growth as well as the asset growth expected to result from the three branches acquired in the merger with 1st Service. We also opened a new branch in Warrenton, Virginia, in April 2007, which should generate additional growth, requiring additional capital.

Table of Contents

The excess net proceeds have been temporarily employed to reduce our higher cost liabilities including institutional certificates of deposit. The precise amounts and timing of our use of the net proceeds will depend upon market conditions and the availability of other funds, among other factors.

As of the close of business on December 1, 2006, we completed the acquisition of 1st Service Bank, which operated three branch offices in Fairfax County, Virginia. 1st Service Bank transactions have been included in our financial results since December 1, 2006. The fair value of the assets acquired as of December 1, 2006 were approximately $118.0 million including $107.1 million in loans, of which approximately $17 million were securitized by the end of December 2006, and reflected on the balance sheet as investment securities. We also acquired approximately $78.9 million in deposits. We also recorded $2.1 million in core deposit intangibles, and goodwill totaled approximately $10.4 million. The core deposit intangible asset for this acquisition is being amortized over 7 years.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, our net income was $647 thousand, or $0.09 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $239 thousand, or $0.06 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2006.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007, net income increased $173 thousand, or 36.5%, from $474 thousand to $647 thousand. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, increased from $0.07 per share to $0.09 per share.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased to $1.1 million, or $0.16 per share on a diluted basis, from $321 thousand, or $0.08 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2006.

Until the second quarter of 2007 SNBV maintained a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. As of the current quarter, however, management concluded that the valuation allowances on the net deferred tax assets were no longer necessary given the sustained income and growth over the past six calendar quarters. The tax valuation allowance reversal was $2.5 million, of which $1.9 million was related to the net deferred tax assets obtained in the 1st Service Bank acquisition. Net income for the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2007 includes a tax benefit of $53 thousand.

Net Interest Income

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income on interest-earning assets such as loans and investments, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.6 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period last year. Average interest-earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $145.4 million over the same period in 2006. Approximately $125.4 million of this growth was an increase in average loans outstanding, most of which was generated by the acquisition of $90.1 million of loans (net of $17.0 million of securitized loans) from the 1st Service Bank merger in December 2006. Average investment securities increased by $19.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared the same period last year. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased from 7.18% in 2006 to 7.59% in 2007 due to

rising interest rates, and average earning assets increased as well. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $118.2 million compared to the same period in 2006. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $115.1 million, while average borrowings increased by $3.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2006. We acquired $67.3 million in interest-bearing deposits in the merger with 1st Service Bank. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.17% in 2006 to 4.82% in 2007. The interest rate spread for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased from 3.01% to 2.77% compared to the same period last year. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased to 3.83% from 4.09% compared to the same period last year, primarily because most of the growth in loans and investment securities has been funded with interest-bearing deposits, and the cost of these deposits has increased 71 basis points compared to an increase of 41 basis points in the yield on earning assets.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.6 million compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Average interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2007 increased $10.4 million over the first quarter of 2007. The interest rate spread for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased from 2.59% to 2.77% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased to 3.83% from 3.75% compared to the first quarter of 2007, primarily because the cost of interest-bearing liabilities only increased 4 basis points while the yield on earning assets increased 22 basis points. During the second quarter of 2007, principal repayments of $7.4 in the residential mortgage portfolio acquired in the 1st Service merger and repayments of $6.0 in the investment securities portfolio were replaced with higher yielding loans and securities.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $5.1 million compared to $2.6 million for the same period last year. Average interest-earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $145.7 million over the same period in 2006. Approximately $125.9 million of this growth was an increase in average loans outstanding, most of which was generated by the acquisition of $90.1 million of loans (net of $17.0 million of securitized loans) from the 1st Service Bank merger in December 2006. Average investment securities increased by $18.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared the same period last year. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased from 7.09% in 2006 to 7.48% in 2007 due to rising interest rates, and average earning assets increased as well. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $116.2 million compared to the same period in 2006. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $116.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2006. We acquired $67.3 million in interest-bearing deposits in the merger with 1st Service Bank. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 3.99% in 2006 to 4.80% in 2007. The interest rate spread for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased from 3.10% to 2.68% compared to the same period last year. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2007 decreased to 3.79% from 4.15% compared to the same period last year, primarily because most of the growth in loans and investment securities has been funded with interest-bearing deposits, and the cost of these deposits has increased 88 basis points compared to an increase of 39 basis points in the yield on earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is a current charge to earnings made in order to increase the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of lending, historical loan experience and other known internal and external factors affecting loan collectability. Our loan loss allowance is calculated by segmenting the loan portfolio by loan type and applying risk factors to each segment. The risk factors are determined by considering the net loss experience from 1992 to 1999 of insured commercial banks headquartered in Virginia, with $500 million to $10.0 billion in assets, as well as applying management’s judgment.

The provision for loan losses charged to operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $325 thousand and $136 thousand, respectively. We had charge-offs totaling $302 thousand during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, and we had no charge-offs during the same quarter of 2006.

The provision for loan losses charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $575 thousand and $286 thousand, respectively. We had charge-offs totaling $402 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2007, and we had no charge-offs during the same period of 2006.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $199 thousand compared to $66 thousand for the same period in 2006. Noninterest income consists of account maintenance and deposit service fees, loan servicing income, income on bank-owned life insurance and other fees such as late charges on loans, ATM fees and debit card fees. Account maintenance and deposit service fees increased from $42 thousand in the second quarter of 2006 to $76 thousand in the second quarter of 2007 primarily because of growth in the number of deposit accounts. Loan servicing income from loan servicing rights acquired in the 1st Service Bank merger and created by the securitization off some of the mortgage loans acquired was $58 thousand during the second quarter of 2007, and there was none in the same period of 2006. Also, Sonabank purchased a bank-owned life insurance policy during the first quarter of 2007 which generated income of $56 thousand during the second quarter of 2007.

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $382 thousand compared to $119 thousand for the same period in 2006. Account maintenance and deposit service fees increased from $87 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $150 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily because of growth in the number of deposit accounts. Loan servicing income was $120 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2007, and there was none in the same period of 2006. Also, the bank-owned life insurance policy generated income of $80 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter 2007 increased by $891 thousand from the same quarter a year ago. Approximately $390 thousand of the increase is attributable to the 1st Service Bank acquisition, and $36 thousand is related to the opening of our new branch office in Warrenton, Virginia. Salaries and benefits increased by $255 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year. This increase is related directly to staff additions to accommodate our growth including the 1st Service acquisition and the Warrenton branch. As of June 30, 2007, we had 56 full time equivalent employees compared to 31 full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2006. Our occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expense increased by $176 thousand and $32 thousand, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same quarter a year ago. The increase over the 2006 period primarily reflects the 1st Service acquisition and the new branch in Warrenton. Amortization of core deposit intangibles was $182 thousand during the second quarter of 2007 compared to $108 during the same period last year. The increase is the amortization of the core deposit intangible acquired in the 1st Service merger which added three new locations. Other expenses increased by $354 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same quarter a year ago. Other expenses consist of telephone, professional fees, data processing fees, the Virginia franchise tax, loan servicing expense and other fees. The Virginia franchise tax expense was $137 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $52 thousand for the second quarter of 2006. Loan servicing expense and amortization of the loan servicing assets acquired in the 1st Service merger was $48 thousand for the second quarter of 2007 and we had none during the same quarter last year. Data processing fees increased by $14 thousand compared to the second quarter of 2006. Telephone and postage expense increased by $6 thousand and $23 thousand, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2006. Legal, audit and tax and shareholder expense increased by $39 thousand over the second quarter of 2006. These expenses have increased primarily because of the 1st Service acquisition and the fact that SNBV is now a publicly-held company.

Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased by $1.7 million from the same period in 2006. Approximately $781 thousand of the increase is attributable to the 1st Service Bank acquisition, and $41 thousand is related to the opening of our new branch office in Warrenton, Virginia. Salaries and benefits increased by $562 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year. This increase is related directly to staff additions to accommodate our growth including the 1st Service acquisition and the Warrenton branch. Our occupancy expense and furniture and equipment expense increased by $351 thousand and $69 thousand, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period a year ago. The increase over the 2006 period primarily reflects the 1st Service acquisition and the new branch in Warrenton. Amortization of core deposit intangibles was $363 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $218 during the same period last year. The increase is the amortization of the core deposit intangible acquired in the 1st Service merger. Other expenses increased by $607 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period a year ago. Other expenses consist of telephone, professional fees, data processing fees, the Virginia franchise tax, loan servicing expense and other fees. The Virginia franchise tax expense was $275 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $107 thousand for the first half of 2006. Loan servicing expense and amortization of the loan servicing assets acquired in the 1st Service merger was $90 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and we had none during the same period last year. Data processing fees increased by $33 thousand compared to the first half of 2006. Telephone and postage expense increased by $15 thousand and $40 thousand, respectively, compared to the first half of 2006. Legal, audit and tax and shareholder expense increased by $83 thousand over the first half of 2006. These expenses have increased primarily because of the 1st Service acquisition and the fact that SNBV is now a publicly-held company.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Overview

Total assets were $316.6 million at June 30, 2007, as compared to $290.6 million at December 31, 2006. Our asset growth has been funded primarily by deposit growth. Net loans grew from $201.8 million at the end of 2006 to $211.2 million at June 30, 2007. Investment securities, available for sale and held to maturity, grew to $64.4 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $56.5 million at December 31, 2006. Both the growth in the net loans and the growth in the securities portfolio were a result of originations and purchases outpacing very heavy prepayments of residential mortgages and residential mortgage-backed securities. We also purchased a bank-owned life insurance policy in the amount of $5.0 million during the first quarter of 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, total deposits were $236.9 million compared to $215.8 million as of December 31, 2006. The growth was attributable mostly to an increase in brokered certificates of deposit. Brokered certificates of deposit were $89.8 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $78.1 million at December 31, 2006.

Loan Portfolio

In the loan portfolio, repayments in the hybrid adjustable rate (ARM) residential mortgage portfolio acquired in the 1st Service Bank acquisition were heavy as expected. Prepayments in the residential mortgage portfolio acquired from 1st Service Bank were $7.4 million during the second quarter and were $9.1 million for the first half. As a result the single family portfolio fell 11.7% to $55.7 million. With the exception of home equity lines of credit (largely acquired from 1st Service Bank) and loans to individuals, all other loan categories were up strongly. The commercial and industrial loan category grew the fastest at 34.7%, rising from $19.6 million at year-end to $26.4 million at June 30, 2007. The construction and development loan category rose 19.9% to $42.9 million, and commercial real estate was up 3.0% to $71.4 million.

The following table summarizes the composition of our loan portfolio as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (in thousands):

Asset Quality

We will generally place a loan on nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days past due. Loans will also be placed on nonaccrual status in cases where we believe the borrower cannot satisfy the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Cash payments received while a loan is categorized as nonaccrual will be recorded as a reduction of principal as long as doubt exists as to future collections.

We maintain appraisals on loans secured by real estate, including those categorized as non-performing loans and potential problem loans. In instances where appraisals reflect reduced collateral values, we make an evaluation of the borrower’s overall financial condition to determine the need, if any, for possible write-down to their net realizable values. We record other real estate owned at the lower of our recorded investment in the loan or fair value less our estimated costs to sell.

Our loss and delinquency experience on our loan portfolio has been limited by a number of factors, including our underwriting standards and the relatively short period of time since the loans were originated. Whether loan portfolio loss and delinquency experience will increase significantly depends upon the value of collateral securing loans and regional economic factors.

At June 30, 2007, and December 31, 2006, the recorded investment in loans which have been identified as impaired loans, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” (SFAS 114) totaled $3.5 million, and $7.5 million, respectively. During the second quarter of 2007 two loans totaling $3.9 million were transferred to other real estate owned (OREO) as the Bank accepted deeds in lieu of foreclosure. The OREO is comprised of 32 finished lots in Culpeper, Virginia and a single family home in Warrenton, Virginia. The Bank is actively marketing both properties.

There were no non-accrual loans at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006. There was one loan in the amount of $240 thousand that was past due 90 days or more and accruing interest at June 30, 2007, and there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest at December 31, 2006.

Liquidity and Funds Management

The objective of our liquidity management is to assure the ability to meet our financial obligations. These obligations include the payment of deposits on demand or at maturity, the repayment of borrowings at maturity and the ability to fund commitments and other new business opportunities. We obtain funding from a variety of sources, including customer deposit accounts, customer certificates of deposit and payments on our loans and investments. Historically, our level of core deposits has been insufficient to fully fund our lending activities. As a result, we have sought funding from additional sources, including institutional certificates of deposit and available-for-sale investment securities. In addition, we maintain lines credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and utilize securities sold under agreements to repurchase from approved securities dealers and retail customers.

We prepare a monthly cash flow report which forecasts weekly cash needs and availability for the coming three months, based on forecasts of loan closings from our pipeline report and other factors. Management anticipates that future funding requirements will be met from the normal sources of funds.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are engaged primarily in the business of investing funds obtained from deposits and borrowings into interest-earning loans and investments. Consequently, our earnings depend to a significant extent on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income on loans and other investments and the interest expense on deposits and borrowings. To the extent that our interest-bearing liabilities do not reprice or mature at the same time as our interest-earning assets, we are subject to interest rate risk and corresponding fluctuations in net interest income. We have employed asset/liability management policies that seek to manage our interest income, without having to incur unacceptable levels of credit or investment risk.

We use a duration gap of equity approach to manage our interest rate risk, and we review quarterly interest sensitivity reports prepared for us by FTN Financial using the Sendero ALM Analysis System. This approach uses a model which generates estimates of the change in our market value of portfolio equity (MVPE) over a range of interest rate scenarios. MVPE is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts using standard industry assumptions about estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates.

The following tables are based on an analysis prepared by FTN Financial setting forth an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated change in MVPE resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (plus or minus 300 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments) as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006:

Our interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model run by FTN Financial that generates estimates of the change in the net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios. Net interest income depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them. In this regard, the model assumes that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in MVPE requires the making of certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, although the MVPE tables and Sensitivity of Net Interest Income tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net worth and net interest income.
