NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2016

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”), its subsidiary Virginia National Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s subsidiary, VNBTrust, National Association which offers services under the name VNB Wealth Management (“VNBTrust” or “VNB Wealth”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and the reporting guidelines prescribed by regulatory authorities requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, deferred tax assets and other real estate owned. Operating results for the three-months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

The statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. If needed, certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. No such reclassifications were significant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” This update is intended to provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management is required under the new guidance to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued when preparing financial statements for each interim and annual reporting period. If conditions or events are identified, the ASU specifies the process that must be followed by management and also clarifies the timing and content of going concern footnote disclosures in order to reduce diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things: 1) require equity investments (except 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; 2) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; 3) require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables); and 4) eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. 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. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Among other things, in the amendments in ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

During March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships.” The amendments in this ASU clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria remain intact. The amendments are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-05 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting.” The amendments in this ASU 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. Therefore, upon qualifying for the equity method of accounting, no retroactive adjustment of the investment is required. In addition, the amendments in this ASU 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 increases in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. Early Adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Shares-Based Payment Accounting.” The amendments in this ASU simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Securities

The amortized cost and fair values of securities available for sale as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Securities having carrying values of $38.9 million at March 31, 2016 were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. At December 31, 2015, securities having carrying values of $42.2 million were similarly pledged.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, proceeds from the sales of securities amounted to $2.0 million, and realized gains on these securities were $8 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, proceeds from the sales of securities amounted to $3.3 million, with realized gains on these securities of $18 thousand, and an additional $5.4 million in calls of securities accounted for the additional $4 thousand in realized gains.

Restricted securities are securities with limited marketability and consist of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB”), the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), and CBB Financial Corporation (“CBBFC”), the holding company for Community Bankers Bank, totaling $1.7 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These restricted securities are carried at cost.

The following table summarizes all securities with unrealized losses, segregated by length of time in a continuous unrealized loss position, at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

March 31, 2016

10

As of March 31, 2016, there were $25.3 million, or 25 issues of individual securities in a loss position. These securities have an unrealized loss of $191 thousand and consisted of 19 mortgage-backed/CMOs, 3 municipal bonds, and 3 agency bonds.

The Company’s securities portfolio is primarily made up of fixed rate bonds, whose prices move inversely with interest rates. Any unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. At the end of any accounting period, the portfolio may have both unrealized gains and losses. Management does not believe any of the securities in an unrealized loss position are impaired due to credit quality. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2016, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary, and no impairment loss has been realized in the Company’s consolidated income statement.

An “other-than-temporary impairment” (“OTTI”) is considered to exist if any of the following conditions are met: it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or the Company does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the Company does not intend to sell). In the event that a security would suffer impairment for a reason that was “other than temporary,” the Company would be expected to write down the security’s value to its new fair value, and the amount of the write down would be included in earnings as a realized loss. As of March 31, 2016, management has concluded that none of its investment securities have an OTTI based upon the information available at this time. Additionally, management has the ability to hold any security with an unrealized loss until maturity or until such time as the value of the security has recovered from its unrealized loss position.

Note 3. Loans

The composition of the loan portfolio by loan classification at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 appears below (dollars in thousands).

11

Accounting guidance requires certain disclosures about investments in impaired loans, the allowance for loan losses and interest income recognized on impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors involved in determining impairment include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, financial condition of the borrower, and current economic conditions.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Interest income on other non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) are considered impaired loans. TDRs occur when the Company agrees to modify the original terms of a loan by granting a concession that it would not otherwise consider due to the deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. These concessions are done in an attempt to improve the paying capacity of the borrower, and in some cases to avoid foreclosure, and are made with the intent to restore the loan to a performing status once sufficient payment history can be demonstrated. These concessions could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions.

Following is a breakdown by class of the loans classified as impaired loans as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. These loans are reported at their recorded investment, which is the carrying amount of the loan as reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, net of charge-offs and other amounts applied to reduce the net book balance. Average recorded investment in impaired loans is computed using an average of month-end balances for these loans for either the three months ended March 31, 2016 or the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. Interest income recognized is for the three months ended March 31, 2016 or the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. (Dollars below reported in thousands.)

Non-accrual loans are shown below by class (dollars in thousands):

12

The following provides a summary, by class, of TDRs that continue to accrue interest under the terms of the restructuring agreement, which are considered to be performing, and TDRs that have been placed in non-accrual status, which are considered to be nonperforming (dollars in thousands).

None of the TDRs reported above were modified under the terms of a TDR during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Loans modified as TDRs that were fully paid down, charged-off, or foreclosed upon by period end are not reportable. Additionally, there were no loans modified as TDRs that subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 that were modified as TDRs during the twelve months prior to default.

There were no loans secured by 1-4 family residential property that were in the process of foreclosure at either March 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015.

Note 4. Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management’s quarterly evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic conditions. To determine the total allowance for loan losses, the Company estimates the reserves needed for each segment of the portfolio, including loans analyzed individually and loans analyzed on a pooled basis. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows.

Management has an established methodology to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that assesses the risks and losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, the Company has segmented certain loans in the portfolio by product type. Within these segments, the Company has sub-segmented its portfolio by classes within the segments, based on the associated risks within these classes.

13

Based on the internal risk ratings assigned to each credit, a historical loss factor is assigned to the balances for each class of loans, using a cumulative historical loss rate for the most recent twelve quarters. The Company’s internal creditworthiness grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans. Higher risk-rated credits are reviewed quarterly by experienced senior lenders based on each borrower’s situation. Additionally, internal monitoring and review of credits is conducted on an annual basis and a percentage of the loan portfolio is reviewed by an external loan review group.

Loans that trend upward on the risk ratings scale, toward more positive risk ratings, generally exhibit lower risk factor characteristics. Conversely, loans that migrate toward more negative ratings generally will result in a higher risk factor being applied to those related loan balances.

Risk Ratings And Historical Loss Factor Applied

Excellent

0% applied, as these loans are secured by cash and represent a minimal risk. The Company has never experienced a loss within this category.

Good

0% applied, as these loans represent a low risk and are secured by marketable securities within margin. The Company has never experienced a loss within this category.

Pass

Historical loss factor for loans rated “pass” is applied to current balances of like-rated loans, pooled by class. Loans with the following risk ratings are pooled by class and considered together as “pass”:

Satisfactory - modest risk loans where the borrower has strong and liquid financial statements and more than adequate cash flow
Average – average risk loans where the borrower has reasonable debt service capacity
Marginal – acceptable risk loans where the borrower has acceptable financial statements but is leveraged
Watch – acceptable risk loans which require more attention than normal servicing

Special Mention

These potential problem loans are currently protected but are potentially weak. Historical loss factor for loans rated “special mention” is applied to current balances of like-rated loans pooled by class.

Substandard

These problem loans are inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower and/or the value of any collateral pledged. These loans may be considered impaired and evaluated on an individual basis. Otherwise, a historical loss factor for loans rated “substandard” is applied to current balances of all other “substandard” loans pooled by class.

Doubtful

Loans with this rating have significant deterioration in the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower and/or the value of any collateral pledged, making collection or liquidation of the loan in full highly questionable. These loans would be considered impaired and evaluated on an individual basis.

14

The following represents the loan portfolio designated by the internal risk ratings assigned to each credit as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 (dollars in thousands).

In addition to the historical factors, the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses is evaluated through reference to eight qualitative factors, listed below and ranked in order of importance:

It has been the Company’s experience that the first four factors drive losses to a much greater extent than the last four factors; therefore, the first four factors are weighted more heavily.

Like the historical factors, qualitative factors are not assessed against loans rated “excellent” or rated “good,” since these are fully collateralized by cash, readily marketable collateral.

15

For each segment and class of loans, management must exercise significant judgment to determine the estimation method that fits the credit risk characteristics of its various segments. Although this evaluation is inherently subjective, qualified management utilizes its significant knowledge and experience related to both the market and history of the Company’s loan losses.

Impaired loans are individually evaluated and, if deemed appropriate, a specific allocation is made for these loans. In reviewing the six loans in the amount of $1.6 million classified as impaired loans at March 31, 2016, there was no specific valuation allowance on any of these loans after consideration was given for each borrowing as to the fair value of the collateral on the loan or the present value of expected future cash flows from the borrower.

A summary of the transactions in the Allowance for Loan Losses by loan portfolio segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 appears below (dollars in thousands):

As of and for the period ended March 31, 2016

As previously mentioned, one of the major factors that the Company uses in evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses is changes in the volume of delinquent loans. Management monitors payment activity on a regular basis. For all classes of loans, the Company considers the entire balance of the loan to be contractually delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the due date. Interest and fees continue to accrue on past due loans until they are changed to non-accrual status.

16

The following tables show the aging of past due loans as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Also included are loans that are 90 or more days past due but still accruing, because they are well secured and in the process of collection. (Dollars below reported in thousands.)
