ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (“Southern National” or “SNBV”) 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. Sonabank provides a range of financial services to individuals and small and medium sized businesses. 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 eight branches in Maryland, in Rockville, Shady Grove, Frederick, Bethesda, Upper Marlboro, Brandywine, Owings and Huntingtown.

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, 2015.

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 September 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. This ASU will not significantly impact SNBV.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Under the ASU, an entity presents debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-03 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SNBV has adopted the provisions of these amendments, and they have no impact on its financial reporting.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The amendments modify the evaluation reporting organizations must perform to determine if certain legal entities should be consolidated as VIEs. Specifically, the amendments: (1) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities; (2) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership; (3) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships; and (4) provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interests in legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds. ASU No. 2015-02 became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. SNBV has adopted the provisions of these amendments, and they have no impact on its financial reporting.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to estimated amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the estimated amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments also require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the estimated amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. Adoption of these amendments had no impact on SNBV’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1, Financial Instruments Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2016-1: (a) require equity investments (except for those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplify the impairment assessment of equity securities without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (d) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (e) require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income, the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (f) require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the notes to the financial statements; and (g) clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. SNBV is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. SNBV is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. The amendments eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The amendments require that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increase the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Early adoption is permitted. SNBV is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) (“ASU 2016-08”), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in the new revenue recognition standard. ASU 2016-08 clarifies how an entity should identify the unit of accounting (i.e. the specified good or service) for the principal versus agent evaluation and how it should apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements. The amendments in ASU 2016-08 affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and have similar effective dates and transition requirements (i.e., effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein). SNBV is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new revenue recognition guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted. SNBV is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

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 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 an additional 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 no options during the first three months of 2016.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, stock-based compensation expense was $79 thousand and $85 thousand, respectively. As of March 31, 2016, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the stock options was $550 thousand, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

A summary of the activity in the stock option plan during the three months ended March 31, 2016 follows (dollars in thousands):

						Weighted

Securities with a carrying amount of approximately $94.8 million and $89.7 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, certain securities’ fair values were below cost. As outlined in the table below, there were securities with fair values totaling approximately $10.3 million in the portfolio with the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value that are considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2016. 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, 2016. The following tables present information regarding securities in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (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 of 12% 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.

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 no OTTI charges during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Covered Loans were acquired in the Greater Atlantic transaction and are covered under an FDIC loss-share agreement. The agreement covering non-single family loans expired in December 2014.

Accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical policy given the level of estimation, judgment, and uncertainty in 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 loss sharing agreements on approximately $143.4 million (contractual basis) of Greater Atlantic Bank’s assets. There were two agreements with the FDIC, one for single family loans which is a 10-year agreement expiring in December 2019, and one for non-single family (commercial) assets which was a 5-year agreement which expired in December 2014. The Bank will share in the losses on the loans and foreclosed loan collateral with the FDIC as specified in the loss sharing agreements; 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”. As of March 31, 2016, non-covered loans included $27.2 million of loans acquired in the HarVest acquisition and $48.9 million acquired in the PGFSB acquisition.

Accretable discount on the acquired Greater Atlantic loans, the PGFSB loans and the HarVest loans was $7.4 million and $7.9 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 respectively.

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.

During the three months ending March 31, 2016, there were no loans modified in troubled debt restructurings. One TDR which had been modified in 2013 defaulted during the second quarter of 2015. This loan, in the amount of $696 thousand, was current as of March 31, 2016.

During the three months ending March 31, 2015, there were no loans modified in troubled debt restructurings. No TDRs defaulted during the three months ending March 31, 2015, which had been modified in the previous 12 months.

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, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

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 $7.5 million and $6.7 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $122.5 million and $132.3 million, respectively. We had approved loan commitments of $2.0 million and $2.7 million at March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively. Virtually all of our unfunded lines of credit, undisbursed construction loan funds and approved loan commitments are variable rate.

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

Prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2015, due to market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these securities, the market value of the securities was highly sensitive to assumption changes and market volatility. We had determined that our trust preferred securities were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Market conditions and trading activity has improved significantly for trust preferred securities, and the fair value as of March 31, 2016 was estimated within Level 2 of the 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.

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 an independent appraisal or evaluation less estimated costs related to selling the collateral. In some cases appraised value is net of costs to sell. Estimated selling costs range from 6% to 10% of collateral valuation at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Non-covered loans identified as impaired totaled $12.2 million (including SBA guarantees of $2.3 million) as of March 31, 2016 with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $827 thousand compared to a carrying amount of $13.5 million (including SBA guarantees of $3.5 million) with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $839 thousand at December 31, 2015.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

OREO is evaluated at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value as determined by independent appraisal or evaluation less cost to sell. In some cases appraised value is net of costs to sell. Selling costs have been in the range from 6% to 7.6% of collateral valuation at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. OREO is further evaluated quarterly for any additional impairment. At March 31, 2016, the total amount of non-covered OREO was $9.8 million and covered OREO was $343 thousand. As of December 31, 2015, the total amount of OREO was $10.1 million, and covered OREO was $343 thousand.

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, equity investment in mortgage affiliate, preferred investment in mortgage affiliate, 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. Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for the equity investment and the preferred investment in the mortgage affiliate. 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. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE AND OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Other short-term borrowings can consist of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) overnight advances, other FHLB advances maturing within one year, federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase that mature within one year, which are secured transactions with customers. To support the $11.0 million in repurchase agreements at March 31, 2016, we have provided collateral in the form of investment securities. At March 31, 2016, we have pledged callable agency securities, residential government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations with a fair value of $25.6 million to customers who require collateral for overnight repurchase agreements and other deposits.

For our repurchase agreements with customers, we hold the collateral in a segregated custodial account. We are required to maintain adequate collateral levels. In the event the collateral fair value falls below stipulated levels, we will pledge additional securities. We closely monitor collateral levels to ensure adequate levels are maintained, while mitigating the potential risk of over-collateralization.

OVERVIEW

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $2.6 million compared to $2.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

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.

During the first quarter of 2016, net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $9.7 million, up from $8.9 million during the first quarter of 2015. Average loans during the first quarter of 2016 were $843.2 million compared to $713.6 million during the same period last year. The net interest margin was 4.06% in the first quarter of 2016, down from 4.30% in the first quarter of 2015 and down slightly from 4.07% in the fourth quarter of 2015.The loan discount accretions on our three acquisitions were $551 thousand in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $728 thousand in the same quarter last year.

The following tables detail 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 for inherent probable losses in the loan portfolio 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 historical loss data, peer data, as well as applying management’s judgment.

The loan loss provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $625 thousand, compared to $525 thousand for the same period last year. Net charge offs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $356 thousand, compared to $198 thousand for the same period in 2015.

Noninterest Income

The following table presents the major categories of noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2016		2015			Change
	(dollars in thousands)

Equity income (loss) from mortgage affiliate		80		(16	)		96
Other		24		49			(25	)
Total noninterest income	$	501	$	405		$	96

Noninterest income was $501 thousand during the first quarter of 2016, compared to $405 thousand during the same quarter of 2015. Non-interest income during the first quarter of 2016 included income attributable to our 44% ownership of STM of $80 thousand, compared to a loss of $16 thousand in the same quarter last year.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents the major categories of noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2016		2015		Change
	(dollars in thousands)

Other operating expenses		907		793		114
Total noninterest expense	$	6,033	$	5,821	$	212

Noninterest expense was $6.0 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2015. During the first quarter of 2016 we sold two real estate owned (OREO) properties recognizing gains of $155 thousand, and we recognized impairment in the amount of $275 thousand on three OREO properties resulting in a net loss of $120 thousand. This compared to a loss on OREO of $320 thousand for the first quarter of 2015 as a result of recognizing impairment on two OREO properties. Employee compensation increased by $325 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2015, due to increases in the normal course of business.

The efficiency ratio improved from 58.95% during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 to 57.94% during the first quarter of 2016.

Covered Loans were acquired in the Greater Atlantic transaction and are covered under an FDIC loss-share agreement. The agreement covering non-single family loans expired in December 2014.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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.

Net loan growth in the first quarter of 2016 was a robust $41.2 million. $11.9 million of that amount were residential mortgages purchased for our portfolio from Southern Trust Mortgage. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans increased from $256.5 million as of December 31, 2015, to $282.5 million as of March 31, 2016. Multi-family residential loans increased from $25.5 million as of the end of 2015 to $31.4 million as of March 31, 2016.

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 OREO as of March 31, 2016 was $9.8 million compared to $10.1 million as of the end of the previous year. During the first quarter of 2016 we sold two real estate owned (OREO) properties recognizing gains of $155 thousand, and we recognized impairment in the amount of $275 thousand on three OREO properties resulting in a net loss of $120 thousand. This compared to a loss on OREO of $320 thousand for the first quarter of 2015 as a result of recognizing impairment on two OREO properties.

Non-covered nonaccrual loans were $2.9 million ($2.3 million of which were fully covered by SBA guarantees) at March 31, 2016, compared to $4.2 million ($3.5 million of which were loans fully covered by SBA guarantees) at the end of last year. The ratio of non-covered non-performing assets (excluding the SBA guaranteed loans) to non-covered assets improved from 1.07% at the end of 2015 to 0.99% at March 31, 2016. The portions of these SBA loans that were unguaranteed were charged off.

We have 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. Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered total loans at March 31, 2016 was 1.04%, compared to 1.06% at the end of 2015. Management believes the allowance is adequate at this time but continues to monitor trends in environmental factors which may potentially affect future losses.

The following table presents a comparison of non-covered nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

Covered Loans and Assets

Covered loans identified as impaired totaled $1.0 million as of March 31, 2016 and $1.2 million as of December 31, 2015. Nonaccrual loans were $640 thousand and $698 thousand at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest.

Securities

Investment securities, available for sale and held to maturity, were $102.6 million at March 31, 2016 up from $101.0 million at December 31, 2015.

Securities in our investment portfolio as of March 31, 2016 were as follows:

residential government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $19.8 million and residential government-sponsored collateralized mortgage obligations totaling $2.8 million

trust preferred securities in the amount of $5.8 million, $4.0 million of which is Alesco VII A1B which is rated A1 (Moody’s), BBB+ (Standard and Poor’s) and A (Fitch)

During the first quarter of 2016, we purchased $11.0 million of callable agency securities. Three callable agency securities in the amount of $7.9 million were called.

At March 31, 2016, we owned pooled trust preferred securities as follows (in thousands):

(1) Pre-tax, and represents unrealized losses at date of transfer from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, net of accretion

(2) Pre-tax

Each of these securities has been evaluated for potential impairment under accounting guidelines. 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.

We recognized no OTTI charges during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2015.

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 expected cash flows on loans, investments securities, and deposits based on data used to prepare our interest rate risk analyses. 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.

We recently purchased liquidity risk software with which we can monitor our liquidity risk at a point in time and prepare cash flow and funds availability projections over a two year period. The projections can be run using a base case and several stress levels.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, 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, 2016, we had $122.5 million of unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds. Our approved loan commitments were $2.0 million at March 31, 2016. 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.

Beginning on January 1, 2016, SNBV and Sonabank must maintain a capital conservation buffer to avoid restrictions on capital distributions or discretionary bonus payments. This buffer must consist solely of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, but the buffer applies to all three measurements (Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 capital and total capital) in addition to the minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer required for 2016 is common equity equal to .625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase by .625% per year until reaching 2.5% beginning January 1, 2019.

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.

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, 2016 and as of December 31, 2015, and all changes are within our ALM Policy guidelines except for the changes resulting from the 400 basis point increase in interest rates at March 31, 2016. We have determined that the main factor contributing to the greater EVE sensitivity is growth in shorter term funding. However, the solution would cause a large decrease in net interest income in the short term.

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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 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.
