SOUTHERN NATIONAL BANCORP OF VIRGINIA, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2014

1. ORGANIZATION AND 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. The principal activities of Sonabank are to attract deposits and originate loans as permitted under applicable banking regulations. Sonabank operates 15 branches in Virginia located in Fairfax County (Reston, McLean and Fairfax), in Charlottesville, Warrenton (2), Loudoun County (Middleburg, Leesburg (2), and South Riding), Front Royal, New Market, Richmond, Haymarket and Clifton Forge, and nine branches in Maryland in Rockville, Shady Grove, Germantown, 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, 2013.

The merger with Prince George’s Federal Savings Bank (PGFSB) was completed on August 1, 2014. Southern National acquired PGFSB in a cash and stock transaction. PGFSB was founded in 1931 and is headquartered in Upper Marlboro, which is the County Seat of Prince George’s County, Maryland. Prince George’s FSB has four offices, all of which are in Maryland, including a main office in Upper Marlboro and three branch offices in Dunkirk, Brandywine and Huntingtown. Prince George’s FSB has an excellent core deposit base reflecting its tenure in the communities it serves. Its lending activities have historically been focused on residential mortgages. See Footnote 8 for details regarding the merger.

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 January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Southern National’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). These amendments affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g. insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance, and creates a Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The ASU allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. SNBV is assessing the effects of this ASU, which exclude financial instruments from its scope, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In June 2014, the FASB issued 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. Management does not anticipate that this ASU will significantly impact SNBV.

2. STOCK- BASED COMPENSATION

In 2004, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan that authorized the reservation of up to 302,500 shares of common stock and provided for the granting of stock options to certain directors, officers and employees. The 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 104,750 options during the first nine months of 2014. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014:

Expected life	10 years
Expected volatility		29.30	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.48	%
Weighted average fair value per option granted	$	2.88
Dividend yield		2.55	%

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, stock-based compensation expense was $82 thousand and $233 thousand, respectively, compared to $79 thousand and $205 thousand for the same periods last year. As of September 30, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the stock options was $984 thousand, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.5 years.

Securities with a carrying amount of approximately $71.4 million and $65.3 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, certain securities’ fair values were below cost. As outlined in the table below, there were securities with fair values totaling approximately $60.3 million in the portfolio with the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value that are considered temporarily impaired at September 30, 2014. 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 September 30, 2014.

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 11% 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 10% of the collateral issued by banks with assets over $15 billion will prepay in the first year of the forecast, and 15% in the second year.

● 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 September 30, 2014, and we recognized OTTI charges of $41 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the TPREF Funding II security. We recognized no OTTI charges during the third quarter of 2013 and recognized OTTI charges of $3 thousand during the first nine months of 2013.

(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 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 are 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 is a 5-year agreement expiring 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 September 30, 2014, non-covered loans included $36.4 million of loans acquired in the HarVest acquisition and $60.9 million acquired in the PGFSB acquisition.

Accretable discount on the acquired covered loans, the PGFSB loans and the HarVest loans was $10.1 million and $8.9 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 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.

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 that it would not otherwise consider. 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 and nine months ending September 30, 2014, there were no loans modified in troubled debt restructurings. No TDRs defaulted during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2014, 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 September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

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.

(1) Credit quality is enhanced by a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC in the covered portfolio.  The same credit quality indicators used in the non-covered portfolio are combined.

(2) Includes loans secured by farmland and multi-family residential loans.

(3) Includes SBA guarantees of $3.3 million and $2.4 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

(4) Includes home equity lines of credit.

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 $8.7 million and $6.9 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $109.9 million and $105.8 million, respectively. We had approved loan commitments of $6.3 million at September 30, 2014, and we had no approved loan commitments as of December 31, 2013.  Virtually all of our unfunded lines of credit, undisbursed construction loan funds and approved loan commitments are variable rate.

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

23

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:

			Fair Value Measurements Using

				Quoted Prices in		Other		Significant
				Active Markets for		Observable		Unobservable
		Total at		Identical Assets		Inputs		Inputs
		September 30, 2014		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

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 8.91% to 13.95% at September 30, 2014.  The liquidity premiums we used ranged from 2% to 5%, and the adjusted discount rates ranged from 10.97% to 14.97% at December 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.

24

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 September 30, 2014.  The assumptions used in the analysis included a 6.3% prepayment speed, 1.4% default rate, a 72% loss severity and an accounting yield of 2.39% at September 30, 2014.  The assumptions used in the analysis at December 31, 2013, included a 4.3% prepayment speed, 8.9% default rate, a 51% loss severity and an accounting yield of 1.38%.

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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. 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 $3.3 million and HarVest loans of $1.2 million) as of September 30, 2014 with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $391 thousand compared to a carrying amount of $23.2 million (including SBA guarantees of $2.4 million) with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $717 thousand at December 31, 2013.

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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. OREO is further evaluated quarterly for any additional impairment.  At September 30, 2014, the total amount of OREO was $13.0 million, of which $11.5 million was non-covered and $1.5 million was covered.

At December 31, 2013, the total amount of OREO was $11.8 million, of which $9.6 million was non-covered (including $509 thousand acquired from HarVest) and $2.2 million was covered.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount, estimated fair values and fair value hierarchy levels (previously defined) of financial instruments were as follows (in thousands):

Accrued interest payable	Level 1 & Level 3		490		490		341		341

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.    ACQUISTIONS

The merger with Prince George’s Federal Savings Bank (PGFSB) was completed on August 1, 2014. Southern National acquired PGFSB in a cash and stock transaction. PGFSB was founded in 1931 and is headquartered in Upper Marlboro, which is the County Seat of Prince George’s County, Maryland. Prince George’s FSB has four offices, all of which are in Maryland, including a main office in Upper Marlboro and three branch offices in Dunkirk, Brandywine and Huntingtown. Prince George’s FSB has an excellent core deposit base reflecting its tenure in the communities it serves, and its lending activities have historically been focused on residential mortgages.

27

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.  The assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the August 1, 2014 acquisition date.  A summary of the net assets acquired is as follows (in thousands):

Total purchase price	$	11,497
Fair value of assets acquired:
Cash on hand and in banks	$	28,179
Loans		61,832
Loans held for sale		3,499
Land and buildings		3,023
Other assets		1,022
Core deposit intangible		761
Total assets acquired	$	98,316
Fair value of liabilities assumed:
Noninterest-bearing deposits	$	19,233
Interest-bearing deposits		69,995
Other liabilities		504
Total liabilities assumed	$	89,732
Net assets acquired	$	8,584
Goodwill		2,913
	$	11,497

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 $64.2 million and $61.2 million, respectively.  The discount of $3.0 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 $1.5 million and $682 thousand, respectively.  The discount of $790 thousand for these credit impaired loans will not be accreted in accordance with ASC 310-30.  We also acquired nonperforming loans with a fair value of $3.5 million which were sold immediately after acquisition.

Merger costs related to the PGFSB acquisition were $445 thousand, consisting primarily of legal, investment banking and data processing expenses.  We recorded goodwill in the amount of $2.9 million which is the difference between the total purchase price and the net assets acquired.

The PGFSB branches have been integrated into the Sonabank branch system.

On May 15, 2014, Southern National Bancorp of Virginia Inc., Jerry Flowers of Southern Trust Mortgage (STM), and Eastern Virginia Bankshares (EVB), the holding company for EVB, completed the purchase of the 62 percent of STM previously owned by Middleburg Bank.  Jerry Flowers and other STM executives now own 51.1 percent of STM, Sonabank owns 44 percent and EVB owns 4.9 percent.

Sonabanks’s investment in STM totaled $5.0 million, including preferred shares in the amount of $1.8 million.  The investment is being accounted for under the equity method.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was $2.1 million and $5.5 million for the first nine months of 2014. That compares to $1.8 million and $4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

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 was $8.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 up from $7.7 million during the same period last year. Sonabank’s net interest margin was 4.59% in the third quarter of 2014, compared to 4.85% in the third quarter of 2013. Although we are seeing some egregious examples from new participants in the Richmond market in regards to low loan rates, the irrational exuberance of a year to a year and a half ago has largely subsided. Average loans were $642.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $562.5 million in the second quarter of 2014. Approximately $62.6 million of the increase was attributable to the Prince George’s FSB acquisition.

We have been loath to invest in securities for some time, believing that yields adjusted for interest rate risk would not adequately compensate us for the inherent risk. Average securities outstanding in the third quarter of 2014 were $91.4 million, compared to $88.2 million last quarter and to $84.2 million in the third quarter of last year. We are well positioned to withstand a rise in interest rates based on the interest sensitivity on our balance sheet. However, during the fourth quarter we will need to expand our securities portfolio modestly for liquidity and collateral purposes.

Net interest income was $24.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $22.9 million during the same period in the prior year. Average loans during the first nine months of 2014 were $583.4 million compared to $513.6 million during the same period last year. The Greater Atlantic Bank loan discount accretion contributed $1.5 million to net interest income during the first nine months of 2014, compared to $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The loan discount accretion on the HarVest Bank portfolio contributed $734 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $1.5 million in same period last year. The accretion of the Prince George’s FSB discount contributed $95 thousand during the two months since the closing.

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 loan loss provision for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $975 thousand and $2.3 million, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $3.0 million for the same periods last year. Charge offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $3.0 million for the same periods in 2013.

Noninterest expenses were $5.3 million and $15.5 million during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2014, respectively, compared to $4.3 million and $14.0 million during the same periods in 2013. Merger expenses were $64 thousand in the third quarter of 2014 and $487 thousand during the first nine months of 2014. There were no such expenses in 2013.

The net gain on Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $194 thousand compared to a net gain on OREO of $698 thousand for the same period in 2013. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we sold three OREO properties resulting in gains of $354 thousand and recognized impairment in the amount of $160 thousand on two OREO properties. The gain of $698 thousand in the third quarter of 2013 consisted of a gain of $1.1 million on two OREO properties and loss and impairment charges totaling $410 thousand on four OREO properties.

35

The net gain on OREO for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $433 thousand compared to a gain on OREO of $580 thousand for the first nine months of 2013. The gain in 2014 resulted from the sale of eight OREO properties at a gain of $1.1 million, the sale of three properties at a loss of $466 thousand, and impairment of $160 thousand on two properties. The gain of $580 thousand in 2013 consisted of a gain of $1.3 million on four OREO properties and losses and impairment totaling $733 thousand on six OREO properties.

As a result of the analysis of the FDIC indemnification asset in the second quarter of 2014, the amortization expense of the indemnification asset increased from $350 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $837 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the amortization expense was $403 thousand compared to $113 thousand for the third quarter of 2013.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
 

Balance Sheet Overview

Total assets were $883.0 million as of September 30, 2014 compared to $716.2 million as of December 31, 2013. Net loans receivable increased from $539.0 million at the end of 2013 to $658.7 million at September 30, 2014.

Total deposits increased to $698.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $540.4 million as of December 31, 2013 largely as a result of the Prince George’s FSB acquisition. Notably, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased from a year-end 2013 level of $44.6 million to $70.7 million as of September 30, 2014. Similarly, savings account balances increased from $17.0 million to $41.0 million, and money market account balances increased from $130.9 million to $138.4 million over the same period. Prince George’s FSB was an 83 year old institution with deep relationships in its communities.

Loan Portfolio

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

36

The following table summarizes the composition of our loan portfolio as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

	Covered		Non-covered			Total			Covered		Non-covered			Total

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

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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.

Loan growth has been strong in 2014. The loan portfolio, excluding the Prince George’s FSB acquisition, grew by 10.8% ($58.9 million) from December 31, 2013, mostly in commercial real estate and commercial loans. The Prince George’s FSB acquisition added another $60.9 million, or 11.1%.

The large increase in the residential 1-4 family portfolio from year-end 2013 to September 30, 2014 was attributable to the Prince George’s FSB merger ($50.6 million), and to loans purchased from STM ($7.3 million). As of September 30, 2014, there was $11.3 million in the pipeline with STM.

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.

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 $391 thousand as of September 30, 2014, including $4.1 million of nonaccrual loans. This compares to $23.2 million of impaired loans with allocated allowance for loan losses in the amount of $717 thousand at December 31, 2013, including $7.8 million of nonaccrual loans. The nonaccrual loans included SBA guaranteed amounts of $3.3 million and $1.9 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest.

37

Non-covered nonperforming assets decreased from $17.4 million at December 31, 2013 to $15.7 million at September 30, 2014.

Non-covered OREO as of September 30, 2014 was $11.5 million compared to $9.6 million as of the end of 2013. During the first nine months of 2014 we disposed of five non-covered properties in the aggregate amount of $2.3 million. In addition, OREO increased by an aggregate of $4.7 million as a result of foreclosures. We also recognized impairment losses on four properties totaling $400 thousand.

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 September 30, 2014.

The following table presents a comparison of non-covered nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

	September 30,			December 31,
	2014			2013
Nonaccrual loans	$	4,148		$	7,814
Loans past due 90 days and accruing interest		-			-
Total nonperforming loans		4,148			7,814
Other real estate owned		11,505			9,579
Total nonperforming assets	$	15,653		$	17,393
SBA guaranteed amounts included in nonaccrual loans	$	3,261		$	1,852
Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans		171.24	%		90.08	%
Allowance for loan losses to total non-covered loans		1.15	%		1.42	%
Nonperforming assets excluding SBA guaranteed loans to
total non-covered assets		1.71	%		2.35	%

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered loans at September 30, 2014 was 1.15%, compared to 1.42% at the end of 2013. The ratio has declined largely because the loans acquired from Prince George’s FSB were booked at fair value and are not subject to a loan loss reserve. At September 30, 2014, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered loans less the acquired Prince George’s FSB loans was 1.28%. Management believes the allowance is adequate at this time but monitors trends in past due and non-performing loans to determine whether the allowance should be increased.

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 that it would not otherwise consider. 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.

38

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 and nine months ending September 30, 2014, there were no loans modified in troubled debt restructurings. No TDRs defaulted during the three and nine months ending September 30, 2014, which had been modified in the previous 12 months.

Covered Loans and Assets

Covered loans identified as impaired totaled $3.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and $4.1million as of December 31, 2013. Nonaccrual loans were $819 thousand and $1.6 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest.

Securities

Investment securities, available for sale and held to maturity, were $92.3 million at September 30, 2014 and $84.4 million at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the purchases of $11.0 million in callable agency securities and $1.3 million in municipal bonds net of repayments in the first nine months of 2014.

At September 30, 2014, we owned pooled trust preferred securities as follows (in thousands):

Our largest pooled trust preferred security is ALESCO VII A 1B , which was rated triple A at acquisition which is now rated A3 (Moody’s,) BBB (Fitch) and B+ (S&P).

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 September 30, 2014, and we recognized OTTI charges of $41 thousand and nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the TPREF Funding II security. We recognized no OTTI charges during the third quarter of 2013 and recognized OTTI charges of $3 thousand during the first nine months of 2013.

Other securities in our investment portfolio are as follows:

· residential government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $22.4 million and residential government-sponsored collateralized mortgage obligations totaling $3.7 million

· callable agency securities in the amount of $41.0 million

· municipal bonds in the amount of $17.8 million with a taxable equivalent yield of 3.17% and ratings as follows:

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

· SARM 2005-22 1A2 in the amount of $612 thousand, a residential collateralized mortgage obligation that is not government-sponsored

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.

40

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 nine months ended September 30, 2014, we funded our financial obligations with deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At September 30, 2014, we had $109.9 million of unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds. Our approved loan commitments were $6.3 million at September 30, 2014. Management anticipates that funding requirements for these commitments can be met from the normal sources of funds.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

We use 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.

42

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 September 30, 2014 and as of December 31, 2013, and all changes are within our ALM Policy guidelines. The effect of the PGFSB merger was less negative than anticipated. The impact from the fixed rate mortgage loans acquired was offset by the lengthening of certificate of deposit maturities. Overall the duration of deposits increased and the duration of loans decreased.

43

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 September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 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. The effect of the PGFSB merger was less negative than anticipated as previously mentioned in the discussion of EVE.

45

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.
