Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2015

1.	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, 2014.

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 did not to have a material impact on the Southern National’s Consolidated Financial Statements, but did add additional disclosures.

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, 2017, 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. 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” This ASU aligns the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. The new guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to maturity transactions and supersedes the guidance under which a transfer of a financial asset and a contemporaneous repurchase financing could be accounted for on a combined basis as a forward agreement. The amendments in the ASU also require a new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. Additional disclosures will be required for the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014; however, the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Southern National’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 no options during the first three months of 2015.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, stock-based compensation expense was $85 thousand and $77 thousand, respectively. As of March 31, 2015, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the stock options was $815 thousand, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.1 years.

A summary of the activity in the stock option plan during the three months ended March 31, 2015 follows (dollars in thousands):


						Weighted
				Weighted		Average		Aggregate
				Average		Remaining		Intrinsic
				Exercise		Contractual		Value
	Shares			Price		Term		(in thousands)

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

Prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2015, due to market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of the trust preferred securities, the market value of these 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, 2015 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.

The fair value and carrying amount, if different, of debt securities as of March 31, 2015, by contractual maturity were as follows (in thousands). Securities not due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, are shown separately.

	Held to Maturity				Available for Sale

	Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value
Due in five to ten years	$	13,379	$	13,418	$	-	$	-

Total	$	92,065	$	97,198	$	2,293	$	2,306

Securities with a carrying amount of approximately $70.6 million and $71.8 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, certain securities’ fair values were below cost. As outlined in the table below, there were securities with fair values totaling approximately $44.1 million in the portfolio with the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value that are considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015. 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, 2015. The following tables present information regarding securities in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (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 10% 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 first quarter of 2015 compared to OTTI charges related to credit on the trust preferred securities totaling $16 thousand during the first quarter of 2014.

(1)	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, 2015, non-covered loans included $31.9 million of loans acquired in the HarVest acquisition and $57.8 million acquired in the PGFSB acquisition.

Accretable discount on the acquired covered loans, the PGFSB loans and the HarVest loans was $8.6 million and $9.3 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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 periods ending March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, there were no loans modified in troubled debt restructurings. No TDRs defaulted during the quarters ending March 31, 2015 and March 31, 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 March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

Southern National is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit and funding risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. Letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by Southern National to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. We had letters of credit outstanding totaling $8.6 million and $8.4 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $105.0 million and $113.3 million, respectively. We had approved loan commitments of $24.1 million at March 31, 2015, and we had no approved loan commitments as of December 31, 2014. Virtually all of our unfunded lines of credit, undisbursed construction loan funds and approved loan commitments are variable rate.

There were 578,348 and 643,199 anti-dilutive options and warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

7. FAIR VALUE

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

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

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

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

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

Securities Available for Sale

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

Assets 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, 2015 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.

Other Residential Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Classified as Held-to Maturity

The fair value was estimated within Level 2 fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is based on either pricing models, quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. We have evaluated this security for potential impairment and, based on our review of the trustee report, shock analysis and current information regarding delinquencies, nonperforming loans and credit support, it has been determined that no OTTI charge for credit exists for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The assumptions used in the analysis included a 3.4% prepayment speed, .4% default rate, a 61% loss severity and an accounting yield of 2.46% at March 31, 2015.

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, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Non-covered loans identified as impaired totaled $22.2 million (including SBA guarantees of $4.5 million and HarVest loans of $521 thousand) as of March 31, 2015 with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $1.1 million compared to a carrying amount of $23.8 million (including SBA guarantees of $4.7 million) with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $705 thousand at December 31, 2014.

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, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. OREO is further evaluated quarterly for any additional impairment. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total amount of OREO was $12.6 million and $13.1 million, respectively, all of which was non-covered.

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. 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.

OVERVIEW

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $2.0 million compared to $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2014.

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 2015, net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $8.9 million, up significantly from $7.6 million during the first quarter of 2014. Average loans during the first quarter of 2015 were $713.6 million compared to $544.1 million during the same period last year. The net interest margin was 4.30% in the first quarter of 2015, down from 4.72% in the first quarter of 2014. The loan discount accretions on our three acquisitions, Greater Atlantic Bank (GAB), HarVest and Prince George’s Federal Savings Bank (PGFSB) were as follows (in thousands):

	Q1 2015		Q1 2014
GAB	$	450	$	412
HarVest		152		278

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is a current charge to earnings made in order to increase the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of lending, historical loan experience and other known internal and external factors affecting loan collectability. Our loan loss allowance is calculated by segmenting the loan portfolio by loan type and applying historical loss factors to each segment. The historical loss factors may be qualitatively adjusted by considering regulatory and peer data, and the application of management’s judgment.

The provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2015 was $525 thousand, compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2014. Net charge offs during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were $198 thousand compared to $909 thousand during the first quarter of 2014.

Noninterest Income

The following table presents the major categories of noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2015			2014			Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Account maintenance and deposit service fees	$	222		$	178		$	44
Income from bank-owned life insurance		150			140			10
Equity income (loss) from mortgage affiliate		(16	)		-			(16	)
Gain on other assets		-			202			(202	)
Net impairment losses recognized in earnings		-			(16	)		16
Other		49			37			12
Total noninterest income	$	405		$	541		$	(136	)

Noninterest income was $405 thousand during the first quarter of 2015, compared to $541 thousand during the same quarter of 2014. The first quarter of 2014 was positively impacted by a gain in the amount of $202 thousand on the sale of a part interest in our investment in an SBIC.

We report the earnings attributable to our 44% ownership of Southern Trust Mortgage (STM) every quarter. We hadn’t made the investment in the first quarter of 2014. In the fourth quarter we showed earnings of $51 thousand. In the first quarter of 2015 we showed a loss of $16 thousand attributable to the inherent seasonality of the business and to high on-boarding costs of hiring new loan officers last year. Those on-boarding costs aren’t expected to be repeated in the second quarter. It is also worth noting that our return on our preferred stock was 7.5% (annualized) during the quarter.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents the major categories of noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2015		2014			Change
	(dollars in thousands)
Salaries and benefits	$	2,803	$	2,389		$	414

Other operating expenses		793		663			130
Total noninterest expense	$	5,821	$	4,519		$	1,302

Noninterest expense was $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2014. During the first quarter of 2014, we sold two properties in Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) resulting in gains of $637 thousand. We also sold two other OREO properties resulting in losses of $218 thousand, and the net gain for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was $419 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 $414 thousand compared to the first quarter of 2014. Total full time equivalent employees increased from 141 as of March 31, 2014 to 180 as of March 31, 2015.

The efficiency ratio was 58.95% during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to 62.18% during the first quarter of 2014.

(1)	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, 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.

Net loan growth in the first quarter of 2015 was $25.4 million, less than the robust growth of $37.3 million of the fourth quarter of 2014. The decline in growth during the first quarter of 2015 was primarily due to less organic growth and the fact that we purchased residential mortgage loans from STM in the amount of $9.6 million during the first quarter compared to $12.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2014. The growth in Residential 1-4 family loans was entirely attributable to portfolio loans originated to our standards by STM and purchased by us.

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, 2015 was $12.6 million compared to $13.1 million as of the end of the previous year. Non-covered nonaccrual loans were $1.5 million (excluding $4.5 million of loans fully covered by SBA guarantees) at March 31, 2015 compared to $988 thousand (excluding $4.7 million of 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 decreased from 1.60% at the end of 2014 to 1.57% at March 31, 2015. 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, 2015 was 1.12%, compared to 1.11% at the end of 2014. 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Nonaccrual loans were $745 thousand and $859 thousand at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest.

Securities

Investment securities, available for sale and held to maturity, were $94.4 million at March 31, 2015 down slightly from $96.3 million at December 31, 2014.

Our largest pooled trust preferred security is ALESCO VII A 1B, which was rated triple A at acquisition and continues to have investment grade ratings from Fitch and Moody’s, but not Standard & Poor’s, and on which a principal repayment of $854 thousand was received in the first quarter of 2015. It is a floating rate security priced quarterly at 40 basis points over LIBOR. We own it at a dollar price of 90. As of March 31, 2015, the yield was 0.95% which is attractive for an investment grade floating rate security. It is a very positive contributor to our asset sensitivity which will stand us in good stead if rates rise.

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 first quarter of 2015 compared to OTTI charges related to credit on the trust preferred securities totaling $16 thousand during the first quarter of 2014.

Other securities in our investment portfolio are as follows:

residential government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $21.9 million and residential government-sponsored collateralized mortgage obligations totaling $3.4 million

callable agency securities in the amount of $45.0 million

municipal bonds in the amount of $17.8 million with a taxable equivalent yield of 3.18% and ratings as follows:

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, 2015, 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, 2015, we had $105.0 million of unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds. Our approved loan commitments were $24.1 million at March 31, 2015. 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.

In June 2012, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC proposed rules that would revise and replace the current capital rules to align with the Basel III capital standards and meet certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. In July 2013, the Federal Reserve approved revisions to its Basel III capital adequacy guidelines. The final rule requires Southern National and Sonabank to comply with the following new minimum capital ratios, effective January 1, 2015:

(1) a new common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets;

(2) a tier 1 capital ratio of 6% of risk-weighted assets (increased from 4%);

(3) a total capital ratio of 8% of risk-weighted assets (unchanged);

(4) a leverage ratio of 4% of average total assets (unchanged).

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 model also accommodates the analysis of floors, ceilings, etc. on a loan-by-loan basis. The greater level of input detail provides more meaningful reports compared to the summarized input data previously used.

The following tables are based on an analysis prepared by FTN Financial setting forth an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated change in EVE resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (plus 400 basis points or minus 200 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments) as of March 31, 2015 and as of December 31, 2014, and all changes are within our ALM Policy guidelines:

Our interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model run by FTN Financial that generates estimates of the change in the net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios. Net interest income depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them. In this regard, the model assumes that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 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.
