SOUTHERN NATIONAL BANCORP OF VIRGINIA, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2010

 

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. On January 1, 2009, Sonabank changed from a nationally chartered bank to a state chartered bank and moved its headquarters from Charlottesville to McLean, Virginia. The principal activities of Sonabank are to attract deposits and originate loans as permitted under applicable banking regulations. Sonabank operates 12 branches in Virginia located in Fairfax County (Reston, McLean and Fairfax), in Charlottesville, Warrenton (2), Leesburg (2), South Riding, Front Royal, New Market and Clifton Forge, and we also have a branch in Rockville, Maryland.

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, 2009.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of investment securities, other than temporary impairment of investment securities, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, the FDIC indemnification asset, mortgage servicing rights, other real estate owned and deferred tax assets.

Reclassifications

Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860-10, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of ASC 860.” This statement removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from Statement 140 and removes the exception from applying ASC 810 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, to qualifying special-purpose entities. The objective in issuing this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The participating interest definition in this statement applies to transfers of government-guaranteed portions of loans, such as those guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). In this regard, if a seller transfers the guaranteed portion on an SBA loan at a premium, the seller is obligated by the SBA to refund the premium to the purchaser if the loan is repaid within 90 days of the transfer. Under this statement, this premium refund obligation is a form of recourse, which means that the transferred guaranteed portion the loan does not meet the definition of a participating interest for the 90-day period that the premium refund obligation exists. As a result, the transfer must be accounted for as a secured borrowing during this period. After the 90 day period, assuming the transferred guaranteed portion and the retained unguaranteed portion of the SBA loan now meet the definition of a participating interest, the transfer of the guaranteed portion can accounted for as a sale if all of the conditions for sale accounting in the statement are met. Adoption of this statement will result in a 90 day delay in recognizing the sale and gain on sale of the guaranteed portions of any SBA loans.

On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued ASC 810-10, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). this guidance amends ASC 810 to replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with a qualitative approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (1) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. Unlike ASC 810, this Statement requires ongoing reconsideration of whether (1) an entity is a VIE and (2) an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. It is expected that the amendments will result in more entities consolidating VIEs that previously were not consolidated The Statement will also require additional disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in variable interest entities. This Statement must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The impact of adoption was not material to our results of operations or financial position.

Recently Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance under Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06 that requires new disclosures and clarifies existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in ASC Subtopic 820-10. The objective of the new guidance is to improve these disclosures and increase transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, the new guidance requires:

A reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and

Table of Contents

In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements.

In addition, the guidance clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:

For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and

A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.

ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.

 

2. STOCK- BASED COMPENSATION

In 2004, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option 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 plan, the option’s 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 granted 4,000 options during the first quarter of 2010. 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 three months ended March 31, 2010:

 

Dividend yield

     0.00

Expected life

     10 years   

Expected volatility

     42.47

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.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010, stock-based compensation expense was $17 thousand compared to $12 thousand for the same period last year. As of March 31, 2010, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the stock options was $251 thousand which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, there were no sales of securities. During the first quarter of 2009, we sold $9.9 million of available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities resulting in a gross gain of $223 thousand, and the tax provision related to the gain was $76 thousand.

Securities with a carrying amount of approximately $61.3 million and $40.1 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements and a line of credit for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”).

SNBV monitors the portfolio which is subject to liquidity needs, market rate changes and credit risk changes to see if adjustments are needed. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, some securities’ fair values were below cost. As outlined in the table below, there were securities with stated maturities totaling approximately $28.6 million in the portfolio that are considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2010. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because we do not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that we will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, management does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2010. All of these securities continue to perform according to the contractual terms and are investment grade. The following tables present information regarding securities in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (in thousands) by duration of time in a loss position:

(1) A break in yield for a given tranche means that defaults/deferrals have reached such a level that the tranche would not receive all of its contractual cash flows (principal and interest) by maturity (so not just a temporary interest shortfall, but an actual loss in yield on the investment). In other words, the magnitude of the defaults/deferrals has depleted all of the credit enhancement (excess interest and over-collateralization) beneath the given tranche. This represents additional defaults beyond those currently existing.
(2) Pre-tax, and represents unrealized losses at date of transfer from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity
(3) Pre-tax

We have evaluated each of these securities for potential impairment under ASC 325, and have reviewed each of the issues’ collateral participants using various techniques including the ratings provided in the Bank Financial Quarterly published by IDC Financial Publishing, Inc. We have also reviewed the interest and principal coverage of each of the tranches we own. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each security, we work with independent third parties to identify our best estimate of the cash flow estimated to be collected. If this estimate results in a present value of expected cash flows that is less than the amortized cost basis of a security (that is, credit loss exists), an other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is considered to have occurred. If there is no credit loss, any impairment is considered temporary. The cash flow analysis we performed included the following assumptions:

 

   

We assume that 2% of the remaining performing collateral will default or defer in the second quarter of 2010 and 50 basis points per annum thereafter.

 

   

We assume recoveries of 25% with a two year lag on all defaults and deferrals.

 

11


Table of Contents
   

We assume no prepayments for 10 years and then 1% per annum for the remaining life of the security.

 

   

Our securities have been modeled using the above assumptions by independent third parties using the forward LIBOR curve plus original spread to discount projected cash flows to present values.

These assumptions resulted in no OTTI recognition on the trust preferred securities during the first quarter of 2010.

We also own $1.9 million of SARM 2005-22 1A2. This residential collateralized mortgage obligation was downgraded from B to CCC by Standard and Poors in September 2009, and it was downgraded from BBB to CC by Fitch in August 2009. The fair market value is $1.5 million. We have evaluated this security for potential impairment and, based on our review of the trustee report, shock analysis and current information regarding delinquencies, nonperforming loans and credit support, determined that an OTTI does exist as of March 31, 2010 in the amount of $7 thousand. The assumptions used in the analysis included a 5% prepayment speed, 10% default rate, a 50% loss severity and an accounting yield of 4.75%.

The following table presents a roll forward of the credit losses for the trust preferred securities and the residential collateralized mortgage obligation recognized in earnings for the period ended March 31, 2010 (in thousands):

The covered loans acquired in the Greater Atlantic transaction are and will continue to be subject to our internal and external credit review. As a result, if and when credit deterioration is noted subsequent to the acquisition date, such deterioration will be measured through our loss reserving methodology and a provision for credit losses will be charged to earnings with a partially offsetting noninterest income item reflecting the increase to the FDIC indemnification asset. There has been no provision recorded on covered loans since acquisition.

Non-covered loans identified as impaired in accordance with ASC 310 totaled $7.0 million with allocated allowance for loan losses in the amount of $609 thousand as of March 31, 2010. This compares to $4.2 million of impaired loans with allocated allowance for loan losses in the amount of $554 thousand at December 31, 2009. Nonaccrual loans were $3.8 million and $4.2 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest.

Covered loans identified as impaired in accordance with ASC 310 totaled $4.9 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Nonaccrual loans were $3.3 million and $5.1 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. At March 31, 2010, there were two loans totaling $105 thousand that were past due 90 days or more and accruing interest, and at December 31, 2009, there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest.

 

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 written 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 $6.5 million and $3.8 million as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is based on the contractual amount of these instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.

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 are made predominately for adjustable rate loans, and generally have fixed expiration dates of up to three months or other termination clauses and usually 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.

7. FAIR VALUE

ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

Securities Available for Sale

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then

fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U. S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of SNBV’s available-for-sale securities are considered to be level 2 securities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-recurring Basis:

Trust Preferred Securities Classified as Held-to-Maturity

Management utilized guidance in ASC 820-10 to value these securities. The base input in calculating fair value is a Bloomberg Fair Value Index yield curve for single issuer trust preferred securities which correspond to the ratings of the securities we own. We also use composite rating indices to fill in the gaps where the bank rating indices did not correspond to the ratings in our portfolio. When a bank index that matches the rating of our security is not available, we used the bank index that most closely matches the rating, adjusted by the spread between the composite index that most closely matches the security’s rating and the composite index with a rating that matches the bank index used. Then, we use the adjusted index yield, which is further adjusted by a liquidity premium, as the discount rate to be used in the calculation of the present value of the same cash flows used to evaluate the securities for OTTI. The liquidity premiums were derived in consultation with a securities advisor. The liquidity premiums we used ranged from .25% to 5%, and the adjusted discount rates ranged from 6.92% to 16.04%. Due to current market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these securities, the market value of the securities is highly sensitive to assumption changes and market volatility. We have determined that our trust preferred securities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Table of Contents

Based on our analysis in the first quarter of 2010, there were no OTTI charges on trust preferred securities. There were OTTI charges on trust preferred securities totaling $7.6 million during 2009.

Other Residential Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Classified as Held-to Maturity

The fair value was estimated within Level 2 fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is based on either pricing models, quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. We have evaluated this security for potential impairment and, based on our review of the trustee report, shock analysis and current information regarding delinquencies, nonperforming loans and credit support. The assumptions used in the analysis included a 5% prepayment speed, 10% default rate, a 50% loss severity and an accounting yield of 4.75%. Based on this analysis, an OTTI existed as of March 31, 2010 in the amount of $7 thousand. There was an OTTI on this security in the amount $139 thousand as of December 31, 2009.

Other Securities Classified as Held-to-Maturity

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U. S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of SNBV’s other securities classified as held-to-maturity are considered to be level 2 securities.

Impaired Loans

ASC 820-10 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by ASC 310 at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Non-covered loans identified as impaired in accordance with ASC 310 totaled $7.0 million as of March 31, 2010 with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $609 thousand compared to a carrying amount of $4.2 million with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $554 thousand at December 31, 2009. Charge-offs related to the impaired loans at March 31, 2010 totaled $730 thousand during the first quarter of 2010. Charge-offs related to impaired loans totaled $40 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Covered loans identified as impaired at March 31, 2010, totaled $4.9 million.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

OREO is evaluated at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value as determined by independent appraisal or internal market evaluation less cost to sell. OREO is further evaluated quarterly for any additional impairment. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The total amount of OREO was $3.3 million at March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, the amount of non-covered OREO was $2.8 million and covered OREO was $467 thousand.

rates applied to the estimated life. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability. Fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The FDIC indemnification asset was measured at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition. The fair value was determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using the long-term risk free rate plus a premium. Subsequent additions to the asset are valued at par as it is anticipated that these amounts will be shortly received. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.

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 March 31, 2010 was $6.3 million compared to $3.0 million for the same period last year. Average interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased $153.7 million over the same period in 2009. Average loans outstanding increased by $150.1 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the first quarter of 2009. Average investment securities increased by $7.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period last year. The average balance of other earning assets, primarily interest-earning accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (FRB) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB), decreased from $18.5 million during the first quarter of 2009 to $14.8 million during the first quarter of 2010. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased from 5.57% in 2009 to 6.20% in 2010. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased $139.0 million compared to the same period in 2009. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $135.5 million, while average borrowings increased by $3.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2009. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 2.85% in 2009 to 1.81% in 2010. The interest rate spread for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased from 2.72% to 4.39% compared to the same period last year. The net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased to 4.62% from 3.12% compared to the same period last year.

The significant improvement in the net interest income was attributable to:

 

   

The impact of the Greater Atlantic and Millennium transactions. The accretion of the discount on the Greater Atlantic Bank loans contributed $667 thousand to first quarter net interest income.

 

   

The bottoming of the decline in interest rates in the first quarter of 2009. The prime rate was 3.25% at the end of the first quarter of 2009 and it remained at that level at the end of the first quarter of 2010.

 

   

Our practice of establishing floor rates on loans as they mature or roll over notwithstanding the index rates. On non-SBA loans we have been establishing floors ranging from 6% to 7  1/2%.

 

   

Most of the CDs which were outstanding at the end of the first quarter of 2009 have matured and have been replaced with new CDs at lower rates. The average rate on our CDs at the end of the first quarter of 2009 was 3.05% compared to 1.80% at the end of the first quarter of 2010.

 

   

We have reduced rates on deposit accounts as much as we can without harming relationships. Moreover, we are concerned with the probability that rates will rise and to the extent possible have positioned ourselves for this eventuality.

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 peer data, internal and external factors affecting loan collectability, as well as applying management’s judgment.

The provision for loan losses charged to operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $1.3 million and $480 thousand, respectively. Net charge offs during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were $1.1 million compared to $238 thousand during the same quarter last year. The charge-offs were related to various credits including one non-real estate related SBA loan, one real estate related SBA loan, one residential mortgage, two commercial and industrial loans, one consumer loan and one commercial real estate mortgage. Two of the largest charge offs involved a $400 thousand charge off on a loan to a commercial and industrial borrower and a $330 thousand charge off on a loan to a commercial real estate borrower. The charge off on our

loan to the commercial and industrial borrower is based on an updated first quarter evaluation of collateral securing the loan. The charge off on our loan to the commercial real estate borrower results from a revaluation of the collateral securing this loan based on a bona fide offer to acquire the collateral from a third party.

Noninterest income was $540 thousand during the first quarter of 2010, compared to $594 thousand during the same quarter of 2009. Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2009 benefitted from a gain on securities of $223 thousand and gain on other real estate owned (“OREO”) of $87 thousand. Account maintenance and deposit service fees have increased from $132 thousand in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to $241 thousand for the first quarter of 2010 primarily because of the increase in deposit accounts resulting from the Greater Atlantic and Millennium acquisitions. The increase in other noninterest income is primarily due to fees earned on short-term letters of credit.

Noninterest expense was $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2010 compared to $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2009. The amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset added $244 thousand to 2010 first quarter noninterest expenses and the amortization of the Greater Atlantic Bank core deposit intangible added $50 thousand. Also, as a result of the Greater Atlantic and Millennium transactions, compensation expense has increased $578 thousand in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period last year. Full-time equivalent employees increased from 66 at March 31, 2009 to 103 at March 31, 2010. Occupancy and equipment expenses have also increased $188 thousand, and data processing, online banking and ATM-related expenses are $140 thousand more than in the first quarter of 2009. Virginia franchise tax expense has increased $43 thousand in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period last year because of the increase in deposits during 2009. Consulting fees have increased to $50 thousand in the first quarter of 2010 from $5 thousand in the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to the Greater Atlantic acquisition.

Despite the costs associated with the Greater Atlantic acquisition and the Millennium branch acquisition, noninterest expenses were well controlled and our efficiency ratio improved from 73.1% to 58.6% in the first quarter of 2010 compared to the same period last year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Overview

Total assets of Southern National Bancorp of Virginia were $611.7 million as of March 31, 2010 up from $610.7 million as of December 31, 2009. Net loans receivable decreased from $457.1 million at the end of 2009 to $446.2 million at March 31, 2010. Two large loans in the Sonabank portfolio totaling approximately $6.4 million were paid off, one on a project completed and refinanced and the other as a result of our borrower being acquired by a larger company. There were also principal repayments in the covered portfolio acquired in the Greater Atlantic transaction, including large repayments on three loans totaling approximately $3.2 million. The increase in bank premises and equipment was due to the purchase of certain fixed assets of Greater Atlantic from the FDIC in the amount of $1.6 million.

Total deposits were $449.2 million at March 31, 2010 compared to $455.8 million at December 31, 2009. The decline was almost entirely in brokered deposits which fell from $70.0 million as of December 31, 2009 to $65.0 million at March 31, 2010. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $33.5 million at March 31, 2010 and $33.3 million at December 31, 2009.

Loan Portfolio

As part of the Greater Atlantic acquisition, the Bank and the FDIC entered into a loss sharing agreement on approximately $143.4 million (contractual basis) of Greater Atlantic Bank’s assets. The Bank will share in the losses on the loans and foreclosed loan collateral with the FDIC as specified in the loss sharing agreement; we refer to these assets collectively as “covered assets.” Loans that are not covered in the loss sharing agreement are referred to as “non-covered loans.”

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 are uncertain whether the borrower can 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, particularly those categorized as nonperforming 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 specific allocations or write-down to their net realizable values. If foreclosure occurs, 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 our loss and delinquency experience in the area of our portfolio will increase significantly depends upon the value of the real estate securing loans and economic factors such as the overall economy of the region.

Non-covered Loans and Assets

Non-covered loans identified as impaired in accordance with ASC 310 totaled $7.0 million with allocated allowance for loan losses in the amount of $609 thousand as of March 31, 2010. This compares to $4.2 million of impaired loans with allocated allowance for loan losses in the

amount of $554 thousand at December 31, 2009. Non-covered nonaccrual loans were $3.8 million and $4.2 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. At March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest.

Non-covered nonperforming assets decreased from $7.0 million at December 31, 2009 to $6.6 million at March 31, 2010.

The bulk of our other real estate owned balance continues to be comprised of one property, which contains 33 finished 2 to 4 acre lots in Culpeper. We took a deed in lieu of foreclosure in September 2007. There are no new developments on that property. We continue to monitor the fair value of this property to ensure our carrying value is realizable.

We have an internal loan review process and a loan committee which provide on-going monitoring to identify and address issues with problem loans. We believe the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover probable incurred credit losses at March 31, 2010.

(1) A break in yield for a given tranche means that defaults/deferrals have reached such a level that the tranche would not receive all of its contractual cash flows (principal and interest) by maturity (so not just a temporary interest shortfall, but an actual loss in yield on the investment). In other words, the magnitude of the defaults/deferrals has depleted all of the credit enhancement (excess interest and over-collateralization) beneath the given tranche. This represents additional defaults beyond those currently existing.
(2) Pre-tax, and represents unrealized losses at date of transfer from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity
(3) Pre-tax

We have evaluated each of these securities for potential impairment under ASC 325, and have reviewed each of the issues’ collateral participants using various techniques including the ratings provided in the Bank Financial Quarterly published by IDC Financial Publishing, Inc. We have also reviewed the interest and principal coverage of each of the tranches we own. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each security, we work with independent third parties to identify our best estimate of the cash flow estimated to be collected. If this estimate results in a present value of expected cash flows that is less than the amortized cost basis of a security (that is, credit loss exists), an other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) is considered to have occurred. If there is no credit loss, any impairment is considered temporary. The cash flow analysis we performed included the following assumptions:

 

   

We assume that 2% of the remaining performing collateral will default or defer in the second quarter of 2010 and 50 basis points per annum thereafter.

 

   

We assume recoveries of 25% with a two year lag on all defaults and deferrals.

 

   

We assume no prepayments for 10 years and then 1% per annum for the remaining life of the security.

 

   

Our securities have been modeled using the above assumptions by independent third parties using the forward LIBOR curve plus original spread to discount projected cash flows to present values.

These assumptions resulted in no OTTI recognition on the trust preferred securities during the first quarter of 2010.

We also own $1.9 million of SARM 2005-22 1A2. This residential collateralized mortgage obligation was downgraded from B to CCC by Standard and Poors in September 2009, and it was downgraded from BBB to CC by Fitch in August 2009. The fair market value is $1.5 million. We have evaluated this security for potential impairment and, based on our review of the trustee report, shock analysis and current information regarding delinquencies, nonperforming loans and credit support, determined that an OTTI does exist as of March 31, 2010 in the amount of $7 thousand. The assumptions used in the analysis included a 5% prepayment speed, 10% default rate, a 50% loss severity and an accounting yield of 4.75%.

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 of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and utilize securities sold under agreements to repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement borrowings from approved securities dealers.

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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we funded our financial obligations with deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At March 31, 2010, we had $126.8 million of unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds. Our approved loan commitments were $6.8 million at March 31, 2010. Management anticipates that funding requirements for these commitments can be met from the normal sources of funds.

The increase in the risk-based capital ratios as of March 31, 2010 compared to December 31, 2009, is primarily the result of assigning a 20% risk weight to the assets covered under the FDIC loss-sharing agreement. A Financial Institution Letter was issued in the first quarter of 2010 which clarified that exposures that are covered under an FDIC loss-sharing agreement may be assigned a 20% risk weight.

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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 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.
