Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2014

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 five branches in Maryland (four in Montgomery County and one in Frederick County).

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.

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.

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 six months of 2014.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, stock-based compensation expense was $75 thousand and $151 thousand, respectively, compared to $63 thousand and $126 thousand for the same periods last year.  As of June 30, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the stock options was $779 thousand, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.2 years.

A summary of the activity in the stock option plan during the six months ended June 30, 2014 follows (dollars in thousands):

The amortized cost and fair value of available for sale securities and the related gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows (in thousands):

The amortized cost, unrecognized gains and losses, and fair value of securities held to maturity were as follows (in thousands):

 

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

The fair value and carrying amount, if different, of debt securities as of June 30, 2014, 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.

Securities with a carrying amount of approximately $67.7 million and $65.3 million at June 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 June 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 $50.8 million in the portfolio with the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value that are considered temporarily impaired at June 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 June 30, 2014. The following tables present information regarding securities in a continuous unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands) by duration of time in a loss position:

 

 

 

As of June 30, 2014, we owned pooled trust preferred securities as follows:

 

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:

We recognized OTTI charges of $25 thousand and $41 thousand during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 related to the TPREF Funding II security. We recognized no OTTI charges during the second quarter of 2013 and recognized OTTI charges of $3 thousand during the first six months of 2013.

 

The following table presents a roll forward of the credit losses on our securities held to maturity recognized in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

 

Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income by component for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are shown in the table below.  All amounts are net of tax (in thousands).

 

 4.       LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

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

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 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 June 30, 2014, non-covered loans included $36.9 million of loans acquired in the HarVest acquisition.

Accretable discount on the acquired covered loans and the HarVest loans was $7.8 million and $8.9 million at June 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.

 

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