Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2013

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (“Southern National”) is a corporation formed on July 28, 2004 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is the holding company for Sonabank (“Sonabank”) a Virginia state chartered bank which commenced operations on April 14, 2005. The principal activities of Sonabank are to attract deposits and originate loans as permitted under applicable banking regulations. Sonabank has fifteen branches in Virginia, located in Fairfax County (Reston, McLean and Fairfax), in Charlottesville, Warrenton (2), Middleburg, Leesburg (2), South Riding, Front Royal, New Market, Haymarket, Richmond and Clifton Forge, and five branches in Maryland, in Rockville, Shady Grove, Germantown, Frederick and Bethesda.

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 Southern National’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This standard update requires companies to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2013 and have included the additional disclosures.

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. As of March 31, 2013, options to purchase an aggregate of 302,500 shares of common stock were outstanding and no shares remained available for issuance. The 2010 Stock Awards and Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors in January 2010 and approved by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting in April 2010. The 2010 plan authorized the reservation of 700,000 shares of common stock for the granting of stock awards. 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 Southern National and to assist in the attracting and retaining of non-employee directors by affording them an opportunity to share in Southern National’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.

Southern National granted 22,500 options during the first three months of 2013. 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, 2013:

	2013
Expected life	10 years
Expected volatility		34.21	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.03	%
Weighted average fair value per option granted	$	3.55
Dividend yield		1.29	%

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, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation expense was $64 thousand and $50 thousand, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the stock options was $815 thousand, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.7 years.

A summary of the activity in the stock option plan during the three months ended March 31, 2013 follows (dollars in thousands):

					Weighted
			Weighted		Average
			Average		Remaining		Aggregate
			Exercise		Contractual		Intrinsic
	Shares		Price		Term		Value

The amortized cost amounts are net of recognized other than temporary impairment.

During the three ended March 31, 2013, we sold 55 thousand shares of available for sale FHLMC preferred stock resulting in a gain of $142 thousand.

The fair value and carrying amount, if different, of debt securities as of March 31, 2013, by contractual maturity were as follows (in thousands). Securities not due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, are shown separately.

	Held to Maturity				Available for Sale
	Amortized				Amortized
	Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value
Due after ten years	$	43,670	$	42,158	$	2,307	$	2,229
Residential government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities		32,367		33,684		-		-

Total	$	81,971	$	81,710	$	2,307	$	2,229

Securities with a carrying amount of approximately $65.3 million and $62.3 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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”).

Southern National monitors the portfolio for indicators of other than temporary impairment. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, certain securities’ fair values were below cost. As outlined in the table below, there were securities with fair values totaling approximately $43.2 million in the portfolio with the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value that are considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and market 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, 2013. The following tables present information regarding securities in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands) by duration of time in a loss position:

Each of these securities has been evaluated for other than temporary impairment. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each security, Sonabank works with independent third parties to estimate expected cash flows and assist with the evaluation of other than temporary impairment. The cash flow analyses performed included the following assumptions:

●

.5% of the remaining performing collateral will default or defer per annum.

●

Recoveries ranging from 25% to 47% with a two year lag on all defaults and deferrals.

●

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

●

Additionally banks with assets over $15 billion will no longer be allowed to count down streamed trust preferred proceeds as Tier 1 capital (although it will still be counted as Tier 2 capital). That will incent the large banks to prepay their trust preferred securities if they can or if it is economically desirable. As a consequence, we have projected in all of our pools that 25% of the collateral issued by banks with assets over $15 billion will prepay in 2013.

●

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

We recognized OTTI charges of $3 thousand during the first quarter of 2013 compared to OTTI charges related to credit on the trust preferred securities totaling $2 thousand during the first quarter of 2012.

(1) Covered Loans were acquired in the Greater Atlantic transaction and are covered under an FDIC loss-share agreement.

Accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical policy given the level of estimation, judgment, and uncertainty in evaluation of the levels of the allowance required to account for the inherent probable losses in the loan portfolio and the material effect such estimation, judgment, and uncertainty can have on the consolidated financial results.

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.” Non-covered loans included $50.9 million of loans acquired in the HarVest acquisition. Accretable discount on the acquired covered loans and the HarVest loans was $10.9 million and $11.7 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

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 allowance for loan loss calculation methodology and a provision for credit losses will be charged to earnings.

Credit-impaired covered loans are those loans which presented evidence of credit deterioration at the date of acquisition and it is probable that Southern National would not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Generally, acquired loans that meet Southern National’s definition for nonaccrual status fell within the definition of credit-impaired covered loans.

Impaired loans for the covered and non-covered portfolios were as follows (in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A modification is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both of the following exist: (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) the Bank has granted a concession to the borrower. The Bank determines that a borrower may be experiencing financial difficulty if the borrower is currently delinquent on any of its debt, or if the Bank is concerned that the borrower may not be able to perform in accordance with the current terms of the loan agreement in the foreseeable future. Many aspects of the borrower’s financial situation are assessed when determining whether they are experiencing financial difficulty, particularly as it relates to commercial borrowers due to the complex nature of the loan structure, business/industry risk and borrower/guarantor structures. Concessions may include the reduction of an interest rate at a rate lower than current market rate for a new loan with similar risk, extension of the maturity date, reduction of accrued interest, or principal forgiveness. When evaluating whether a concession has been granted, the Bank also considers whether the borrower has provided additional collateral or guarantors and whether such additions adequately compensate the Bank for the restructured terms, or if the revised terms are consistent with those currently being offered to new loan customers. The assessments of whether a borrower is experiencing (or is likely to experience) financial difficulty and whether a concession has been granted is subjective in nature and management’s judgment is required when determining whether a modification is a TDR.

Although each occurrence is unique to the borrower and is evaluated separately, for all portfolio segments, TDRs are typically modified through reduction in interest rates, reductions in payments, changing the payment terms from principal and interest to interest only, and/or extensions in term maturity.

As of March 31, 2013, we had one construction and land loan modified in a troubled debt restructuring with an unpaid principal balance of $1.3 million which was restructured by reducing the interest rate and modifying other terms. The unpaid principal balance did not change. This loan defaulted subsequent to restructuring, and is now a nonaccrual loan. There is no additional commitment to lend to this borrower.

Credit Quality Indicators

Through its system of internal controls Southern National evaluates and segments loan portfolio credit quality on a quarterly basis using regulatory definitions for Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful. Special Mention loans are considered to be criticized. Substandard and Doubtful loans are considered to be classified. Southern National had no loans classified Doubtful at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Special Mention loans are loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position.

Substandard loans may be inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

Southern National 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 Southern National 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 $8.6 million and $10.3 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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. Unless noted otherwise, we do not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

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.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $81.8 million and $82.5 million, respectively. We had approved loan commitments of $9.8 million at March 31, 2013, and we had no approved loan commitments as of December 31, 2012. Virtually all of our unfunded lines of credit, undisbursed construction loan funds and approved loan commitments are variable rate.

There were 591,843 and 571,006 anti-dilutive options and warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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 Southern National’s available-for-sale debt securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-recurring Basis:

Trust Preferred Securities Classified as Held-to-Maturity

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 2% to 5%, and the adjusted discount rates ranged from 9.64% to 13.44% at March 31, 2013. 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.

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, it has been determined that no OTTI charge for credit exists for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The assumptions used in the analysis included a 4.4% prepayment speed, 7.8% default rate, a 46% loss severity and an accounting yield of 2.63% during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Impaired Loans

Generally, we measure the impairment for impaired loans considering the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by appraisals or other valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. Discounts have predominantly been in the range of 0% to 8.4%. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Non-covered loans identified as impaired totaled $26.3 million (including SBA guarantees of $1.8 million and HarVest loans of $381 thousand) as of March 31, 2013 with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $628 thousand compared to a carrying amount of $23.7 million (including SBA guarantees of $2.6 million) with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $837 thousand at December 31, 2012. Charge offs related to the impaired loans at March 31, 2013 totaled $555 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to $250 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

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. Discounts have predominantly been in the range of 0% to 7.6%. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. OREO is further evaluated quarterly for any additional impairment. At March 31, 2013, the total amount of OREO was $13.9 million, of which $11.4 million was non-covered (including $739 thousand acquired from HarVest) and $2.5 million was covered.

At December 31, 2012, the total amount of OREO was $13.8 million, of which $13.2 million was non-covered (including $744 thousand acquired from HarVest) and $636 thousand was covered.

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, savings accounts, money market accounts, short-term debt, and variable rate loans that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life. A discount for liquidity risk was not considered necessary in estimating the fair value of loans. 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 fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset was determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using the long-term risk free rate plus a premium and represents the present value of our current expectation for recoveries from the FDIC on covered loans. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material. The fair value of loans is not presented on an exit price basis.

8. FDIC-ASSISTED ACQUISITION

On April 27, 2012, Sonabank entered into an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to assume all of the deposits and certain assets of HarVest Bank of Maryland (“HarVest”) a state chartered non-Federal Reserve member commercial bank. HarVest operated four branches – North Rockville, Frederick, Germantown and Bethesda (all located in Maryland).

The assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the April 27, 2012 acquisition date. A summary of the net assets acquired from the FDIC is as follows (in thousands):

Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	21,704
Consideration from the FDIC		25,553
Investment securities		38,379
Loans		64,966
Loans held for sale		7,568
Federal Home Loan Bank stock		1,167
Other real estate owned		750
Core deposit intangible		179
Other assets		576
Total assets acquired	$	160,842

Liabilities
Deposits	$	140,484
FHLB advances		16,738
Other liabilities		136
Total liabilities	$	157,358

Net assets acquired (bargain purchase gain)	$	3,484

A valuation of the acquired loans and core deposit intangible was performed with the assistance of a third-party valuation consultant. The unpaid principal balance and fair value of performing loans was $67.4 million and $63.0 million, respectively. The discount of $4.4 million will be accreted through interest income over the life of the loans in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310-20. The unpaid principal balance and estimated fair value of acquired and retained non-performing loans was $5.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. In accordance with ASC 310-30, the discount of $3.4 million for these credit impaired loans will not be accreted.

Because HarVest was a distressed financial institution that was seized by the FDIC, certain historical operating information is not available to us and the preparation of pro forma operating disclosures is not practicable.

The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in the recognition of a bargain purchase gain of $3.5 million, and the bargain purchase gain is equal to the amount by which the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the consideration transferred and is influenced significantly by the FDIC-assisted transaction process. However, the acquired loans in the HarVest transaction are not covered by an indemnification agreement with the FDIC.

OVERVIEW

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $1.5 million compared to $1.8 million during the first quarter of 2012.

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 before the provision for loan losses was $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2012. The first quarter of 2012 included a recovery of discount of $805 thousand recognized in purchase accounting for two impaired loans acquired in the Greater Atlantic Bank (“GAB”) acquisition following the receipt of principal paydown from the borrowers. The net interest margin including the recovery of discount was 5.59% in the quarter ended March 31, 2012, and 5.00% excluding the recovery. The net interest margin during the first quarter of 2013 was 4.94%. The yield on earning assets was 5.74% during the first quarter of 2013 compared to 6.64% for the same period in 2012 and 6.05% excluding the recovery of discount. The GAB loan discount accretion contributed $447 thousand to net interest income during the first quarter of 2013, compared to $1.5 million during the first quarter of 2012. The loan discount accretion on the HarVest Bank portfolio contributed $369 thousand during the first quarter of 2013. Before taking the accretions related to the GAB and HarVest acquisitions into account, the net interest margin was 4.43% on the first quarter of 2013 and 4.52% in the first quarter of 2012. Average earning assets increased during the first quarter of 2013 by $87.5 million, or 15.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2012, but $62.2 million of the increase was in investment securities and other earning assets which have a lower yield than loans.

The following table details average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the amount of interest earned/paid on such assets and liabilities, and the yield/rate for the periods indicated:

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 historical loss factors to each segment. The historical loss factors may be qualitatively adjusted by considering regulatory and peer data, and the application of management’s judgment.

The provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2013 was $1.1 million, down from $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2012. Net charge offs during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were $914 thousand compared to $843 thousand during the first quarter of 2012. Even though charges offs increased in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period last year, the provision for loan losses decreased primarily because of the decrease in historical loss factors used in the calculation for estimating the required loan loss allowance.

Noninterest Income

The following table presents the major categories of noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2013			2012			Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Account maintenance and deposit service fees	$	193		$	196		$	(3	)
Income from bank-owned life insurance		149			153			(4	)
Gain on sale of SBA loans		-			657			(657	)
Net loss on other real estate owned		(56	)		(199	)		143
Gain on other assets		-			14			(14	)
Gain on sale of available for sale securities		142			-			142
Net impairment losses recognized in earnings		(3	)		(2	)		(1	)
Other		55			53			2
Total noninterest income	$	480		$	872		$	(392	)

Noninterest income was $480 thousand during the first quarter of 2013, compared to $872 thousand during the same quarter of 2012. During the first quarter of 2013, we had a $56 thousand net loss on the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties as a gain on one property was more than offset by a loss on another. We had a gain on the sale of available for sale FHLMC preferred stock in the amount of $142 thousand during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. During the first quarter of 2012, we had a gain on the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans in the amount of $657 thousand.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents the major categories of noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2013		2012			Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Salaries and benefits	$	2,246	$	1,825		$	421
Occupancy expenses		760		582			178
Furniture and equipment expenses		156		156			-
Amortization of core deposit intangible		123		230			(107	)
Virginia franchise tax expense		127		145			(18	)
FDIC assessment		234		129			105
Data processing expense		148		137			11
Telephone and communication expense		178		102			76
Change in FDIC indemnification asset		130		(14	)		144
Other operating expenses		793		1,020			(227	)
Total noninterest expense	$	4,895	$	4,312		$	583

Noninterest expense was $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2012. Occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses were $916 thousand during the first quarter of 2013, compared to $738 thousand during 2012. Of this increase, $198 thousand resulted from operating five additional branches, primarily relating to the HarVest acquisition in the prior year. In addition, salaries and benefits expense has increased $421 thousand during the first quarter of 2013, compared to 2012 of which $181 thousand is a result of the additional branches. Full-time equivalent employees have increased from 112 at March 31, 2012, to 138 at March 31, 2013. As a result of recasting estimated recoveries under the FDIC indemnification agreement in the second quarter and the fourth quarter of 2012, amortization expense was $130 thousand for the first quarter of 2013, compared to accretion of $14 thousand for 2012. Audit and accounting fees have decreased from $464 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $141 thousand during the first quarter of 2013. These fees were abnormally high in 2012 because of the restatement of 2010 and 2009 financial statements.

The efficiency ratio was 59.94% during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to 53.62% during the first quarter of 2012.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Overview

Total assets were $714.9 million as of March 31, 2013 compared to $723.8 million as of December 31, 2012. Net loans receivable decreased from $523.1 million at the end of 2012 to $502.8 million at March 31, 2013. Within that total, covered loans declined by $5.5 million while the non-covered loan portfolio decreased by $14.6 million.

Total deposits were $559.4 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $551.0 million at December 31, 2012. Certificates of deposit increased $21.5 million during the quarter. This was partially offset by a decrease in money market accounts of $7.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $42.3 million at March 31, 2013 and $49.6 million at December 31, 2012.

(1) Covered Loans were acquired in the Greater Atlantic transaction and are covered under an FDIC loss-share agreement.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, substantially all of our loans were to customers located in Virginia and Maryland. We are not dependent on any single customer or group of customers whose insolvency would have a material adverse effect on operations.

Loans, net of deferred fees, decreased $20.2 million from $530.2 million at the end of 2012 to $510.0 million at March 31, 2013. The decline was attributable to several factors: First, the decline in commercial real estate loans was attributable to the “ferocious” competition on rate and terms as noted in the Washington Business Journal on April 12, 2013. Repayments of almost $10.0 million resulted from three borrowers refinancing loans at lower rates and more liberal terms than we were willing to offer. Second, residential mortgages and home equity lines of credit accounted for $4.9 million of the decline. We’re not in the mortgage banking business and do not compete for refinancing these loans. Third, we had three foreclosures in the commercial real estate portfolio, the largest of which was in the covered portfolio, which contributed $2.1 million to the decline. Commercial real estate loans were also negatively impacted by two SBA 504 loans in the amount of $2.3 million where all of the requirements were satisfied and the 504 lender took down its subordinated portion and paid us down. We’re disappointed with the lack of loan growth but have been working hard to build a robust pipeline and look forward to improvements in the coming quarters, but we are not willing to make commitments that we will regret in the future.

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 impairment or write-down to their fair 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 evaluated for impairment totaled $26.3 million with allocated allowance for loan losses in the amount of $628 thousand as of March 31, 2013, including $7.6 million of nonaccrual loans. This compares to $23.7 million of impaired loans with allocated allowance for loan losses in the amount of $837 thousand at December 31, 2012, including $7.6 million of nonaccrual loans. The nonaccrual loans included SBA guaranteed amounts of $1.8 million and $2.6 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest.

Non-covered nonperforming assets decreased from $20.8 million at December 31, 2012 to $19.1 million at March 31, 2013.

Non-covered OREO as of March 31, 2013 was $11.4 million compared to $13.2 million as of the end of 2012. During the first quarter of 2013 we disposed of two non-covered properties in the amount of $2.1 million with a gain on one and a loss on the other as noted above for a net loss of $56 thousand. We foreclosed on two non-covered loans totaling $312 thousand for a net decrease in non-covered OREO of $1.8 million. We are finally seeing some realistic (if low) bids and have turned modestly optimistic.

Sonabank has an internal loan review and a loan committee, both of which provide on-going monitoring to identify and address issues with problem loans. The loan loss provision is determined after consideration of all known relevant internal and external factors affecting loan collectability to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level necessary to absorb estimated credit losses. We believe the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover probable incurred credit losses at March 31, 2013.

The following table presents a comparison of non-covered nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Covered Loans and Assets

Covered loans identified as impaired totaled $5.6 million as of March 31, 2013 and $5.1 million at December 31, 2012. Nonaccrual loans were $4.1 million and $3.6 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest.

Securities

Investment securities, available for sale and held to maturity, were $84.2 million at March 31, 2013 and $86.4 million at December 31, 2012.

Investment activity during the first quarter of 2013 was concentrated on municipal bonds (as it was in the fourth quarter of 2012) and to a lesser extent on callable agencies. The yields available on FNMA and FHLMC mortgage pass through securities where we have historically invested excess cash have been adversely affected by the Federal Reserve Board’s third round of quantitative easing and its purchases of $40 billion a month in mortgage-backed securities. The yields on higher quality, bank qualified municipal bonds have been significantly higher on a taxable equivalent basis although they do entail some extension risk. We went into the strategy of investing in municipals with an overall asset sensitive balance sheet and are monitoring it to ensure we do not get outside our risk tolerance level. Through the end of the first quarter of 2013, we had assembled a portfolio of $8.2 million with a taxable equivalent yield of 3.13% and ratings as follows:


Rating		Amount
Service	Rating	(in thousands)
Moody	Aaa	$	505
Moody	Aa1		1,177

Moody	Aa3		726
Standard & Poor	AAA		1,217
Standard & Poor	AA		1,685

In accordance with regulatory guidance we have performed an independent analysis on each security and monitor the portfolio on an ongoing basis.

As of March 31, 2013 we owned pooled trust preferred securities as follows:

Each of these securities has been evaluated for potential impairment under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 325. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each security, Sonabank works with independent third parties to identify the most reflective 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 OTTI is considered to have occurred. If there is no credit loss, any impairment is considered temporary.

The analyses resulted in OTTI charges related to credit on the trust preferred securities in the amount of $3 thousand during the first quarter of 2013, compared to OTTI charges related to credit on the trust preferred securities totaling $2 thousand for three months ended March 31, 2012.

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 the sale of 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 cash flow forecast for one year with the first three months prepared on a weekly basis and on a monthly basis thereafter. The projections incorporate all scheduled maturities of loans excluding impaired loans and all scheduled maturities of out of area certificates of deposit. In addition, prepayments on investment securities are estimated by using a projection produced by our bond accounting system. To estimate loan growth over the one year period, the projection incorporates the scheduled loan closings in the Loan Pipeline Report along with other management estimates.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, 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, 2013, we had $81.8 million of unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds. Our approved loan commitments were $9.8 million at March 31, 2013. Management anticipates that funding requirements for these commitments can be met from the normal sources of funds.

The most recent regulatory notification categorized Sonabank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed Sonabank’s category.

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 simulation modeling 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 economic value of equity (EVE) over a range of interest rate scenarios. EVE is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts using assumptions about estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, we converted to an enhanced model with FTN Financial that uses detailed data on loans and deposits that is extracted directly from the loan and deposit applications and requires more detailed assumptions about interest rates on new volumes. The new model also accommodates the analysis of floors, ceilings, etc. on a loan-by-loan basis. The greater level of input detail provides more meaningful reports compared to the summarized input data previously used.

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 EVE resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (plus 400 basis points or minus 200 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments) as of March 31, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012, and all changes are within our ALM Policy guidelines:

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, 2013 and December 31, 2012 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. All changes are within our ALM Policy guidelines.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in EVE 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 EVE tables and Sensitivity of Net Interest Income (NII) 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. Sensitivity of EVE and NII are modeled using different assumptions and approaches. In the low interest rate environment that currently exists, limitations on downward adjustments for interest rates, particularly as they apply to deposits, can and do result in anomalies in scenarios that are unlikely to occur due to the current low interest rate environment.
