Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2017

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (“Southern National” or “SNBV” or the “Company”) is a corporation that was formed on July 28, 2004 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is the holding company for Sonabank (“Sonabank” or the “Bank”) a Virginia state-chartered bank which commenced operations on April 14, 2005. As of the close of business on June 23, 2017, SNBV completed its previously announced merger of Eastern Virginia Bankshares, Inc. (“EVBS”) with and into SNBV and the completion of the merger of EVBS’s wholly-owned subsidiary, EVB, with and into SNBV’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sonabank (see Note 2 - Business Combinations).  This combination has brought together two banking companies with complementary business lines, creating one of the premier banking institutions headquartered in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  EVBS was the holding company for EVB, a Virginia state-chartered bank which traced its beginnings to 1910. Sonabank provides a range of financial services to individuals and small and medium sized businesses. At September 30, 2017, Sonabank had thirty-seven full-service retail branches in Virginia, located in the counties of Chesterfield, Essex (2), Fairfax (Reston, McLean and Fairfax), Gloucester (2), Hanover (3), King William, Lancaster, Middlesex (3), New Kent, Northumberland (3), Southampton, Surry, Sussex, and in Charlottesville, Clifton Forge, Colonial Heights, Front Royal, Hampton, Haymarket, Leesburg, Middleburg, New Market, Newport News, Richmond, South Riding, Warrenton, and Williamsburg, and seven full-service retail branches in Maryland, in Rockville, Shady Grove, Bethesda, Upper Marlboro, Brandywine, Owings and Huntingtown.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern National and its subsidiaries Sonabank and EVB Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”). Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Southern National consolidates subsidiaries in which it holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50 percent of the voting rights or where it exercises control. Entities where Southern National holds 20 to 50 percent of the voting rights, or has the ability to exercise significant influence, or both, are accounted for under the equity method. Southern National has an interest in one affiliate, Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC (“STM”), which it accounts for as an equity method investment.

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, 2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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, other real estate owned (“OREO”), deferred tax assets, and fair value measurements related to assets acquired and liabilities assumed from business combinations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-1,Financial Instruments Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2016-1: (a) require equity investments (except for those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplify the impairment assessment of equity securities without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (d) require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (e) require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income, the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (f) require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the notes to the financial statements; and (g) clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available for sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. Management currently anticipates recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability associated with its long-term operating leases and is in the process of inventorying and categorizing its lease agreements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. The amendments eliminate the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an investor must adjust the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The amendments require that an entity that has an available for sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments should be applied prospectively upon their effective date to increase the level of ownership interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. The adoption of the amendments did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

7

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. The ASU allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Our revenue is balanced between net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of the new standard, and noninterest income. The Company is nearing its overall assessment of revenue streams and reviewing contracts potentially affected by the ASU including deposit related fees, gains/losses on the sale of OREO, and interchange fees, to determine the potential impact the new guidance is expected to have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; however, the Company’s revenue recognition pattern for these revenue streams is not expected to change significantly from current practice. The Company is currently planning to adopt ASU No. 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2017 with an immaterial effect.

In June 2016,the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), which sets forth a “current expected credit loss” ("CECL") model requiring the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. For public business entities that are U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filers, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Southern National is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and is collecting data that will be needed to produce historical inputs into any models created as a result of adopting this ASU.

In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the Statement of Cash Flowsin ASU 2016-15. The new guidance clarifies the classification within the statement of cash flows for certain transactions, including debt extinguishment costs, zero-coupon debt, contingent consideration related to business combinations, insurance proceeds, equity method distributions and beneficial interests in securitizations. The guidance also clarifies that cash flows with aspects of multiple classes of cash flows or that cannot be separated by source or use should be classified based on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flows for the item. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment("ASU 2017-04"), which eliminates the second step of the previous FASB guidance for testing goodwill for impairment and is intended to reduce cost and complexity of goodwill impairment testing. The amendments in this ASU modify the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. After determining if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the entity should take an impairment charge of the same amount to the goodwill for that reporting unit, not to exceed the total goodwill amount for that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Southern National is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which is intended to provide guidance in evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses in order to provide stakeholders with more detailed reporting and less cost to analyze transactions. This ASU provides a screen to determine when a set of assets is not a business. It requires that when substantially all fair value of gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments in this update provide a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present for the set to be a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. No disclosures are required at transition and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323) – Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings.ASU 2017-03 provides amendments that add paragraph 250-10-S99-6 which includes the text of "SEC Staff Announcement: Disclosure of the Impact That Recently Issued Accounting Standards Will Have on the Financial Statements of a Registrant When Such Standards Are Adopted in a Future Period” (in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 11.M). Registrants are required to disclose the effect that recently issued accounting standards will have on their financial statements when adopted in a future period. In cases where a registrant cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the adoption, then additional qualitative disclosures should be considered to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the standard's impact on its financial statements. Southern National has enhanced its disclosures regarding the expected impact of recently issued accounting standards adopted in a future period will have on its accounting and disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08,Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,which shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date.  The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity.  ASU 2017-08 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Southern National is currently reviewing its portfolio of debt securities to determine the impact that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718),Scope of Modification Accounting. These amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Southern National is currently evaluating the impact of the amendments in the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On June 23, 2017, SNBV completed its acquisition of EVBS and its subsidiaries, the Trust and EVB. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 13, 2016, as amended, holders of EVBS common stock received 0.6313 shares of SNBV common stock for each outstanding share of EVBS common stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger and holders of Non-Voting Mandatorily Convertible Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series B of EVBS (“EVBS Series B Preferred Stock”) received 0.6313 shares of SNBV common stock for each share of EVBS Series B Preferred Stock held immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, which totaled approximately $198.9 million based on SNBV’s closing common stock price on June 23, 2017 of $17.21 per share. EVBS was a bank holding company organized and chartered under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on September 5, 1997, commenced operations on December 29, 1997 and was headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia. EVBS operated twenty-four retail branches, which served diverse markets that primarily are in the counties of Essex, Gloucester, Hanover, Henrico, King and Queen, King William, Lancaster, Middlesex, New Kent, Northumberland, Southampton, Surry, Sussex and the cities of Colonial Heights, Hampton, Newport News, Richmond and Williamsburg.

SNBV accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805,“Business Combinations.” Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of EVBS were recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, particularly related to the loan portfolio, is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate the estimated fair values. The fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the acquisition date as additional information relative to the acquisition date fair values becomes available. SNBV recognized goodwill of $86.5 million in connection with the acquisition, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes.

The net effect of the amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts associated with the Company’s acquisition accounting adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed from EVBS had the following impact on the consolidated statements of income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017:

	For the Three Months			For the Nine Months
(dollars in thousands)	Ended September 30, 2017			Ended September 30, 2017
Loans (1)	$	1,127		$	1,218
Time deposits (2)		213			217
Junior and senior subordinated debt (3)		21			23
Core deposit intangible (4)		(312	)		(338	)
Net impact to income before income taxes	$	1,049		$	1,120

(1) Loan discount accretion is included in the “Interest and fees on loans” section of “Interest and dividend income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

(2) Time deposit premium amortization is included in the "Interest on deposits" section of "Interest expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

(3) The junior subordinated debt discount accretion and senior subordinated notes premium amortization are included in the “Interest on junior subordinated debt” and “Interest on senior subordinated notes” section of “Interest expense”, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

(4) Core deposit intangible premium amortization is included in the "Other operating expenses" section of "Noninterest expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Fair values of the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined as follows:

Loans: The acquired loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date of $1.04 billion without carryover of EVBS’s allowance for loan losses. The unpaid principal balance and discount at the merger date were $1.05 billion and $15.4 million, respectively. Where loans exhibited characteristics of performance, fair value was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis which included default estimates; loans without such characteristics, fair value was determined based on the estimated values of the underlying collateral. While estimating the amount and timing of both principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected, a market-based discount rate was applied.  In this regard, the acquired loans were segregated into pools based on loan type and credit risk.  Loan type was determined based on collateral type and purpose, industry segment and loan structure.  Credit risk characteristics included risk rating groups pass, special mention and substandard and lien position. For valuation purposes, these pools were further disaggregated by maturity and pricing characteristics (e.g., fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, balloon maturities).

Loans Held for Sale: The $19.7 million of acquired loans held for sale were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. Acquired loans held for sale represent the potentially credit-impaired loans that were moved out of the held for investment portfolio and marked to fair value by EVBS just prior to the closing of the merger. Fair value was determined using quoted prices from an independent, third party buyer. Subsequent to the acquisition date, acquired loans held for sale were sold to an independent third party.

Premises and Equipment and Assets Held for Sale: The fair value of EVBS’s premises, including land, buildings and improvements, was determined based upon appraisal by licensed appraisers. These appraisals were based upon the best and highest use of the property with final values determined based upon an analysis of the cost, sales comparison and income capitalization approaches for each property appraised. The fair value of bank-owned real estate resulted in a net premium of $3.1 million.  Land is not depreciated.

Core Deposit Intangible: The fair value of the core deposit intangible (��CDI”) was determined based on a combined discounted economic benefit and market approach.  The economic benefit was calculated as the cost savings between maintaining the core deposit base and using an alternate funding source, such as FHLB advances.  The life of the deposit base and projected deposit attrition rates was determined using EVBS's historical deposit data.  The CDI was estimated at $10.0 million or 0.9% of total deposits.  The CDI is being amortized over a weighted average life of 96 months using the straight-line method.

Time Deposits: The fair value of time deposits was determined based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The resulting estimated fair value adjustment of time deposits is a $1.2 million premium and is being amortized over the weighted average remaining life of approximately 18 months using the straight-line method.

FHLB Advances: The fair value of FHLB advances was considered to be equivalent to EVBS’s recorded book balance as the advances mature in 90 days or less.

Junior Subordinated Debt and Senior Subordinated Notes:The fair value of the junior subordinated debt and senior subordinated notes were based on discounted cash flows using rates for securities with similar terms. The resulting estimated fair value adjustment of junior subordinated debt is a $801 thousand discount and is being accreted over the remaining life of approximately 195 months using the straight-line method. The resulting estimated fair value adjustment of senior subordinated notes is a $1.1 million premium and is being amortized over the remaining life of approximately 95 months using the straight-line method.

12

Deferred Income Taxes: Certain deferred tax assets and liabilities were carried over to SNBV from EVBS based on the Company’s ability to utilize them in the future. Additionally, deferred tax assets and liabilities were established for acquisition accounting fair value adjustments as the future amortization/accretion of these adjustments represent temporary differences between book income and taxable income.

The table below illustrates the unaudited pro forma revenue and net income of the combined entities had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2016. The unaudited combined pro forma revenue and net income combines the historical results of EVBS with the Company's consolidated statements of income for the periods listed below and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated effect of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition actually taken place on January 1, 2016. Acquisition-related expenses of $168 thousand and $9.1 million were included in the Company's reported consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, but were excluded from the unaudited pro forma information listed below. While the majority of the acquisition-related expenses have been recognized in the first nine months of 2017, the Company believes that additional legal and other transition expenses related to this acquisition will be likely throughout the remainder of 2017. Additionally, the Company expects to achieve further operational cost savings and other efficiencies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma amounts below:

	Unaudited		Unaudited		Unaudited		Unaudited

3. 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 (the “2010 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. At the June 21, 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Southern National, the 2017 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2017 Plan”) was approved as recommended by the Board of Directors. The 2017 Plan replaces the 2010 Plan and has a maximum number of 750,000 shares reserved for issuance. The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to promote the success of the Company by providing greater incentive to employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors to associate their personal interests with the long-term financial success of the Company, including its subsidiaries, and with growth in stockholder value, consistent with the Company’s risk management practices. Because the 2017 Plan was approved, shares under the 2004 stock-option plan or 2010 Plan will no longer be awarded.

13

Southern National granted no regular options during the first nine months of 2017, but did issue 22,559 options under the 2017 Plan in connection with the merger with EVBS which options were previously outstanding under the EVBS 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. Immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, each option to purchase shares of EVBS common stock granted under an EVBS stock plan vested and was converted into and became an option to purchase shares of common stock of SNBV (each, an “Assumed Option”), which was adjusted (i) by multiplying the number of shares of common stock that could be purchased under the Assumed Option by the 0.6313 exchange ratio and rounding down to the nearest share and (ii) by dividing the per share exercise price of the option by the 0.6313 exchange ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent. SNBV assumed each Assumed Option in accordance with the terms of the EVBS stock plan and award agreement by which it is evidenced.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, stock-based compensation expense was $84 thousand and $185 thousand, respectively, compared to $62 thousand and $198 thousand for the same periods last year, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the stock options was $272 thousand, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years.

A summary of the activity in the stock option plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 follows (dollars in thousands):

Investment securities with a carrying amount of approximately $134.2 million and $73.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, certain other deposits, a line of credit for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), and repurchase agreements.

Southern National monitors the portfolio for indicators of other than temporary impairment. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, certain investment securities’ fair values were below cost. As outlined in the table below, there were investment securities with fair values totaling approximately $202.7 million in the portfolio with the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value that are considered temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017. 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 investment securities and it is likely that we will not be required to sell the investment securities before their anticipated recovery, management does not consider these investment securities to be other than temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2017.

Each of these investment securities has been evaluated for other than temporary impairment. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each investment 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:

· 0.5% of the remaining performing collateral will default or defer per annum.

· Recoveries of 9% 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 investment security.

· Our investment 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 other than temporary impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The following table presents a roll forward of the credit losses on our investment securities previously classified as held to maturity and now classified as available for sale recognized in earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

(1) Covered Loans were acquired in the Greater Atlantic transaction and are covered under an FDIC loss-share agreement. The agreement covering single family loans expires in December 2019.

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.

On June 23, 2017, in connection with the merger with EVBS, SNBV acquired loans held for sale with a fair value of $19.7 million and loans held for investment with an unpaid principal balance of $1.05 billion and an estimated fair value of $1.04 billion, which created an accretable discount of $15.4 million at acquisition. Accretion of $1.1 million and $1.2 million associated with these acquired loans held for investment was recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

As part of the Greater Atlantic Bank 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 September 30, 2017, non-covered loans included $22.6 million of loans acquired in the HarVest acquisition, $37.3 million acquired in the Prince Georges Federal Savings Bank (“PGFSB”) acquisition and $990.4 million acquired in the EVBS acquisition.

Accretable discount on the acquired EVBS, Greater Atlantic Bank, PGFSB, and the HarVest loans totaled $19.6 million and $6.5 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

For the three acquisitions subsequent to the Greater Atlantic Bank acquisition noted above, management sold the majority of the purchased credit impaired loans immediately after closing of the acquisition.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A modification is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both of the following exist: (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) the Bank has granted a concession to the borrower. The Bank determines that a borrower may be experiencing financial difficulty if the borrower is currently delinquent on any of its debt, or if the Bank is concerned that the borrower may not be able to perform in accordance with the current terms of the loan agreement in the foreseeable future. Many aspects of the borrower’s financial situation are assessed when determining whether they are experiencing financial difficulty, particularly as it relates to commercial borrowers due to the complex nature of the loan structure, business/industry risk and borrower/guarantor structures. Concessions may include the reduction of an interest rate at a rate lower than current market rate for a new loan with similar risk, extension of the maturity date, reduction of accrued interest, or principal forgiveness. When evaluating whether a concession has been granted, the Bank also considers whether the borrower has provided additional collateral or guarantors and whether such additions adequately compensate the Bank for the restructured terms, or if the revised terms are consistent with those currently being offered to new loan customers. The assessments of whether a borrower is experiencing (or is likely to experience) financial difficulty and whether a concession has been granted is subjective in nature and management’s judgment is required when determining whether a modification is a TDR.

Although each occurrence is unique to the borrower and is evaluated separately, for all portfolio segments, TDRs are typically modified through reduction in interest rates, reductions in payments, changing the payment terms from principal and interest to interest only, and/or extensions in term maturity.

During the three and nine months ending September 30, 2017, there were no loans modified in TDRs. One TDR which had been modified in 2013 defaulted during the second quarter of 2015. This loan, in the amount of $677 thousand, was current as of September 30, 2017.

During the three and nine months ending September 30, 2016, there were no loans modified in TDRs. One TDR which had been modified in 2013 defaulted during the second quarter of 2015. This loan, in the amount of $692 thousand, was current as of September 30, 2016.

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, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

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 $1.7 million and $2.2 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

(4) Includes home equity lines of credit.

The amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $2.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure was $1.4 million and $1.8 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

6. 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, standby letters of credit and guarantees of credit card accounts sold by EVBS premerger. 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 $14.3 million and $6.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $399.8 million and $135.8 million, respectively. Virtually all of our unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds are variable rate.

27

Premerger, EVBS sold its credit card portfolio. With that sale, EVBS guaranteed the credit card accounts of certain customers to the bank that issues the cards. In connection with the merger with EVBS, Southern National now is the guarantor. The fair value of guarantees of credit card accounts previously sold is based on the estimated cost to settle the obligations with the counterparty and are not considered significant as of September 30, 2017.

8.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:

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, investment securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 investment 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 investment securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flow. Level 2 investment 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, investment securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of Southern National’s available for sale debt investment securities are considered to be Level 2 investment securities.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-recurring Basis:

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Non-covered loans identified as impaired totaled $15.7 million (including SBA guarantees of $1.7 million) as of September 30, 2017 with $0 allocated allowance for loan losses compared to a carrying amount of $12.7 million (including SBA guarantees of $2.2 million) with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $900 thousand at December 31, 2016.

29

Assets held for sale

In connection with the merger with EVBS, SNBV acquired four properties that were either former EVBS administrative locations or previously anticipated to be future EVBS administrative locations. Assets held for sale are measured at fair value less cost to sell, based on appraisals conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using observable market data. If the fair value is significantly adjusted due to differences in the comparable properties, or is discounted by the Company because of marketability, then the fair value is considered Level 3. Assets held for sale are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Subsequent fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred and included in other noninterest expense on the consolidated statements of income.

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 5.0% to 7.6% of collateral valuation at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. OREO is further evaluated quarterly for any additional impairment. At September 30, 2017, the total amount of non-covered OREO was $8.1 million, and there was no covered OREO. As of December 31, 2016, the total amount of OREO was $8.6 million, and there was no covered OREO.

(1) Includes Federal Funds Sold

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents (including federal funds sold), equity investment in mortgage affiliate, preferred investment in mortgage affiliate, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, savings accounts, money market accounts, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, 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.

9. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE AND OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Other short-term borrowings can consist of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) overnight advances, other FHLB advances maturing within one year, federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repo”) that mature within one year, which are secured transactions with customers.

In the second quarter of 2016, the Company discontinued offering repo accounts. However, repo accounts totaling $7.6 million were assumed on June 23, 2017 in the merger with EVBS. During the third quarter of 2017 the Company determined that it will continue to offer repo accounts and the balance at September 30, 2017 was $16.4 million.

10. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT AND SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

In connection with our merger with EVBS, the Company assumed $10 million of trust preferred securities that were issued on September 17, 2003 and placed through the Trust in a pooled underwriting totaling approximately $650 million. The trust issuer has invested the total proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities in Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (“Junior Subordinated Debt”) issued by EVBS. The trust preferred securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at a variable rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 2.95%. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the interest rate was 4.27% and 3.94%, respectively. The dividends paid to holders of the trust preferred securities, which are recorded as interest expense, are deductible for income tax purposes. The trust preferred securities have a mandatory redemption date of September 17, 2033, and became subject to varying call provisions beginning September 17, 2008. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the trust preferred securities through the combined operation of the Junior Subordinated Debt and other related documents. The Company’s obligation under the guarantee is unsecured and subordinate to senior and subordinated indebtedness of the Company.

The trust preferred securities may be included in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital adequacy determination purposes up to 25% of Tier 1 capital after its inclusion. At September 30, 2017, all of the trust preferred securities qualified as Tier 1 capital.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Company is permitted to elect from time to time to defer regularly scheduled interest payments on its outstanding Junior Subordinated Debt relating to its trust preferred securities. If the Company defers interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Debt for more than 20 consecutive quarters, the Company would be in default under the governing agreements for such notes and the amount due under such agreements would be immediately due and payable.

On January 20, 2017, Southern National completed the sale of $27.0 million of its fixed-to-floating rate Subordinated Notes due 2027 (the “SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes”). The SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes will initially bear interest at 5.875% per annum until January 31, 2022; thereafter, the SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes will be payable at an annual floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.95% until maturity or early redemption. At September 30, 2017, all of the SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes qualified as Tier 2 capital. At September 30, 2017, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes totaled $878 thousand.

Also in connection with our merger with EVBS, the Company assumed the Senior Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement previously entered into by EVBS on April 22, 2015 with certain institutional accredited investors pursuant to which EVBS sold $20.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2025 (the “EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes”) to the investors at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes. The EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6.50%, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year ending on May 1, 2020. From and including May 1, 2020 to, but excluding, the maturity date, the EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes will bear interest at an annual rate, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR determined on the determination date of the applicable interest period plus 502 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2020. The Company may, at its option, redeem, in whole or in part, the EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes as early as May 1, 2020, and any partial redemption would be made pro rata among all of the holders. At September 30, 2017 all of the EVBS Senior Subordinated Notes qualified as Tier 2 capital.

OVERVIEW

SNBV is a corporation that was formed on July 28, 2004 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is the holding company for Sonabank a Virginia state-chartered bank which commenced operations on April 14, 2005. As of the close of business on June 23, 2017, SNBV completed its previously announced merger of EVBS with and into SNBV and the completion of the merger of EVBS’s wholly-owned subsidiary, EVB, with and into SNBV’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sonabank.  This combination has brought together two banking companies with complementary business lines, creating one of the premier banking institutions headquartered in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  EVBS was the holding company for EVB, a Virginia state-chartered bank which traced its beginnings to 1910. Sonabank provides a range of financial services to individuals and small and medium sized businesses. At September 30, 2017, Sonabank had thirty-seven full-service retail branches in Virginia, located in the counties of Chesterfield, Essex (2), Fairfax (Reston, McLean and Fairfax), Gloucester (2), Hanover (3), King William, Lancaster, Middlesex (3), New Kent, Northumberland (3), Southampton, Surry, Sussex, and in Charlottesville, Clifton Forge, Colonial Heights, Front Royal, Hampton, Haymarket, Leesburg, Middleburg, New Market, Newport News, Richmond, South Riding, Warrenton, and Williamsburg, and seven full-service retail branches in Maryland, in Rockville, Shady Grove, Bethesda, Upper Marlboro, Brandywine, Owings and Huntingtown.

35

We have administrative offices in Warrenton and Glen Allen, Virginia, and executive offices in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. and Glen Allen, Virginia where senior management is located. In September 2017, Southern National and Sonabank successfully completed the core data processing system conversion related to its merger of EVBS and EVB.  We are very excited to have combined two great organizations and remain highly optimistic about the future prospects and synergies of the combined entity.  With the core data processing system conversion complete, during the fourth quarter of 2017 and forward, we plan to continue to focus our efforts on realizing cost savings, maximizing revenue enhancement opportunities from the merger of EVBS, while conservatively and prudently growing the balance sheet. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $4.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively. That compares to net income of $2.8 million and $8.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. SNBV’s results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were directly impacted by the merger with EVBS including expenses related to the merger of $168 thousand and $9.1 million, respectively, compared to no merger expenses during the same periods last year.  Also affecting SNBV’s results was a provision for loan losses of $5.3 million that was recorded during the third quarter of 2017. The primary driver of the elevated provision for loan losses was the $5.3 million in charge-offs taken on two loans that were related to the deteriorating financial condition of one long-time borrower of Sonabank, a government contractor, who is experiencing cash flow problems. Management is closely monitoring this situation.

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 $23.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to $10.4 million during the same period last year.  Average loans during the third quarter of 2017 were $2.04 billion compared to $907.3 million during the same period last year. Southern National’s net interest margin was 4.02% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to 4.04% during the third quarter of 2016. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased five basis points to 4.86% during the third quarter of 2017 when comparing to the 4.91% yield on average interest-earning assets during the third quarter of 2016. Cost of funds improved five basis points to 0.88% for the third quarter of 2017 when compared to the 0.93% cost of funds during the third quarter of 2016. The accretion of the discount on loans acquired in the acquisitions of EVBS, Greater Atlantic Bank, HarVest and PGFSB increased due to the EVBS acquisition and contributed $1.5 million to net interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $536 thousand during the third quarter of 2016.

Net interest income was $44.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $30.3 million during the comparable period in the prior year. Average loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $1.4 billion compared to $879.6 million during the same period last year. Southern National’s net interest margin was 3.88% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 4.05% during the same period in 2016. The loan discount accretions on the four aforementioned acquisitions were $2.4 million in the first nine months of 2017 compared to $1.6 million in the same period last year.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is a current charge to earnings made in order to increase the allowance for loan losses to a level for inherent probable losses in the loan portfolio based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of lending, historical loan experience and other known internal and external factors affecting loan collectability. Our loan loss allowance is calculated by segmenting the loan portfolio by loan type and applying risk factors to each segment. The risk factors are determined by considering historical loss data, peer data, as well as applying management’s judgment.

The loan loss provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was $5.3 million, compared to $2.1 million for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the loan loss provision was $6.9 million compared to $4.1 million for the same period last year. Net charge offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $5.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively. Net charge offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $2.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The primary driver of the elevated provision for loan losses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same periods in 2016, was the $5.3 million in charge-offs taken during the third quarter of 2017 on two loans that were related to the deteriorating financial condition of one long-time borrower of Sonabank, a government contractor, who is experiencing cash flow problems. Management is closely monitoring this situation.

During the third quarter of 2017, Southern National had noninterest income of $2.3 million compared to noninterest income of $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2016. A loss was recorded from the investment in STM, Southern National’s mortgage affiliate, in the amount of $83 thousand compared to income of $749 thousand during the same quarter last year. This loss was primarily driven by an overall decrease in STM’s revenue due to a lower volume of mortgage loan closings. Account maintenance and deposit service fees increased $1.3 million as compared to the same quarter last year, primarily driven by the increased retail deposits acquired in the merger with EVBS. Income from bank-owned life insurance increased $130 thousand when compared to the third quarter of 2016, primarily driven by additional income earned from the increase in bank-owned life insurance policies acquired in the merger with EVBS. Other noninterest income increased $535 thousand as compared to the same quarter last year. This increase was primarily driven by $300 thousand and $137 thousand in recoveries of acquired loan and investment security balances from the EVBS acquisition, respectively. These loan and investment security balances were fully charged off by EVBS prior to its acquisition by Southern National.

Noninterest income increased to $3.1 million in the first nine months of 2017 from $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2016. The increase was primarily due to the $1.4 million increase in account maintenance and deposit service fees as discussed in the previous paragraph. Southern National also recognized increases of $255 thousand and $492 thousand on gains on sales of investment securities and in other noninterest income, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases was a $1.8 million decline in income from the investment in STM, which resulted in a loss of $450 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Noninterest expenses were $14.4 million and $35.3 million during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to $5.4 million and $17.0 million during the same periods in 2016, respectively. Salaries and benefits totaled $7.8 million and $13.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Southern National expects salaries and benefits to decrease in the fourth quarter of 2017 as the last of the merger-related full-time equivalent employee (“FTE”) reductions are scheduled to take place and then begin to normalize in the first half of 2018. Occupancy expenses rose $920 thousand in the third quarter of 2017, to $1.7 million, when compared to the $783 thousand of occupancy expenses recorded during the third quarter of 2016. Furniture and equipment expenses rose $624 thousand in the third quarter of 2017, to $907 thousand, when compared to the $283 thousand of furniture and equipment expenses recorded during the third quarter of 2016. The increases in occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses are in line with the added expenses associated with the EVBS merger. Year to date, occupancy expenses were $3.3 million and furniture and equipment expenses were $1.4 million. Expenses related to the merger with EVBS were $168 thousand and $9.1 million during the third quarter and the first nine months of 2017, respectively, compared to no merger expenses during the same periods last year. Other operating expenses increased $1.2 million, from $725 thousand recorded in the third quarter of 2016 to $1.9 million recorded in the same period in 2017. The increase is in line with the added expenses associated with the EVBS merger. In addition, other operating expenses during the third quarter of 2017 increased due to fraudulent wire transactions in July 2017 that caused losses of approximately $172 thousand. These fraudulent wire transactions were the result of an email phishing scheme that targeted various employees of the Bank and led to an internal email compromise, affording the perpetrators access to personal information of a number of the Bank’s customers. The Bank took immediate action to contain and eradicate the email compromise, including the implementation of control enhancements to prevent a similar situation from occurring again. Southern National believes this is an isolated event and does not believe its technology systems have been compromised.

The majority of the merger and merger related expenses have been incurred as the result of the merger with EVBS. The following table shows a breakdown of those merger and merger related expenses:

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Overview

Total assets were $2.60 billion as of September 30, 2017 compared to $1.14 billion as of December 31, 2016. Net loans receivable increased from $921.8 million at the end of 2016 to $2.03 billion at September 30, 2017, primarily due to the loans acquired in the merger with EVBS on June 23, 2017, which totaled $990.4 million at September 30, 2017.

41

Total deposits were $1.90 billion at September 30, 2017 compared to $913.0 million at December 31, 2016. The merger with EVBS contributed $1.15 billion in deposits on June 23, 2017.

Loan Portfolio

Net loan growth in the third quarter of 2017 was $2.0 million. Loan growth during the third quarter was offset by the sale of approximately $29.0 million of EVB’s classified and residential TDR loans during July and August of 2017 as well as net charge-offs of $5.2 million. Total loan purchases of residential portfolio product from STM were $19.9 million during the quarter.

(1) Covered Loans were acquired in the Greater Atlantic transaction and are covered under an FDIC loss-share agreement. The agreement covering single family loans expires in December 2019.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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.

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 OREO 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.

42

Non-covered Loans and Assets

OREO as of September 30, 2017 was $8.1 million compared to $8.6 million as of the end of the previous year.

Non-covered nonaccrual loans were $11.3 million (excluding $1.7 million of loans fully covered by SBA guarantees) at September 30, 2017 compared to $1.6 million (excluding $2.2 million of loans fully covered by SBA guarantees) at the end of last year. Included in the $11.3 million of non-covered nonaccrual loans is a $10.0 million loan extended to a commercial construction real estate company which is secured by commercial real estate properties with appraised values of approximately $14 million. The unguaranteed portions of the nonperforming SBA loans have been charged off. The ratio of non-covered nonperforming assets (excluding the SBA guaranteed loans) to total non-covered assets decreased from 0.92% at the end of 2016 to 0.75% at September 30, 2017.

Southern National’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered total loans at September 30, 2017 was 0.46%, compared to 0.95% at the end of 2016. The main factor driving the 49 basis point decline in the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered total loans in the first nine months of 2017 was the loans acquired from EVBS, totaling $1.04 billion at June 23, 2017, which were marked to fair value at the merger date. Management believes the allowance is adequate at this time but continues to monitor trends in environmental factors which may potentially affect future losses.

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.

The following table presents a comparison of non-covered nonperforming assets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

	September 30,			December 31,

A modification is classified as a 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.

43

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, 2017, there were no loans modified in troubled debt restructurings. One TDR which had been modified in 2013 defaulted during the second quarter of 2015. This loan, in the amount of $677 thousand, was current as of September 30, 2017.

During the three and nine months ending September 30, 2016, there were no loans modified in troubled debt restructurings. One TDR which had been modified in 2013 defaulted during the second quarter of 2015. This loan, in the amount of $692 thousand, was current as of September 30, 2016.

Covered Loans and Assets

Covered loans identified as impaired totaled $1.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and $963 thousand as of December 31, 2016. Covered nonaccrual loans were $1.1 million at September 30, 2017 and $850 thousand at December 31, 2016. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no covered loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest.

Investment Securities

Investment securities, available for sale and held to maturity, totaled $264.6 million at September 30, 2017 up from $89.2 million at December 31, 2016. The merger with EVBS contributed $182.4 million in available for sale and held to maturity investment securities on June 23, 2017.

Investment securities in our portfolio as of September 30, 2017 were as follows:

· residential government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $44.1 million and residential government-sponsored collateralized mortgage obligations in the amount of $62.9 million;

· corporate bonds in the amount of $2.0 million;

· commercial mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $28.1 million;

· SBA loan pool securities in the amount of $26.0 million;

· callable agency securities in the amount of $54.4 million;

· trust preferred securities in the amount of $5.6 million, $3.0 million of which is Alesco VII A1B which is rated A1 (Moody’s); and

· municipal bonds in the amount of $41.5 million (fair value of $41.6 million) with a taxable equivalent yield of 3.43% and ratings as follows:

During the first nine months of 2017, we purchased $11.8 million of callable agency securities. Two callable agency securities in the amount $5.3 million were called. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2017, as part of our restricting of our investment securities portfolio, $3.2 million of odd-lot residential government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities and $1.3 million of odd-lot residential government-sponsored collateralized mortgage obligations were sold.

At September 30, 2017, we owned pooled trust preferred securities as follows (in thousands):

(2) Pre-tax

Each of these investment securities has been evaluated for potential impairment under accounting guidelines. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each investment 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 an investment security (that is, credit loss exists), an other than temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. If there is no credit loss, any impairment is considered temporary.

We recognized no other than temporary impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

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 with the FHLB of Atlanta, federal funds lines of credit with three correspondent banks 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, investment 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, we funded our financial obligations with deposits, borrowings from the FHLB of Atlanta and the issuance of the SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes in January 2017. At September 30, 2017, we had $391.0 million of unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds. 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.

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 net interest income, without having to incur unacceptable levels of credit or investment risk.

We use simulation modeling to manage our interest rate risk, and we review quarterly interest sensitivity reports prepared for us by FTN Financial using the Sendero ALM Analysis System. This approach uses a model which generates estimates of the change in our economic value of equity (“EVE”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. EVE is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts using assumptions about estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates.

The following tables are based on an analysis prepared by FTN Financial setting forth an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated change in EVE resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (plus 400 basis points or minus 200 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments) as of September 30, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016. All changes are within our Asset/Liability Risk Management Policy guidelines except for the change resulting from the 200 basis point decrease in interest rates at September 30, 2017 and the change resulting from the 100 basis point decrease in interest rates at December 31, 2016.

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 (“NII”) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NII 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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 Asset/Liability Risk Management Policy guidelines at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

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 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 NII. 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.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d -15(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. As a result of the acquisition of EVBS, there were changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Such changes related to this acquisition included implementing new procedures, including procedures to integrate existing systems, and changes to our accounting and reporting professionals to reflect their new responsibilities with the compliance process. We are continuing to evaluate and augment our existing controls to appropriately manage the risks inherent in an acquisition of this magnitude and complexity.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Southern National and Sonabank may, from time to time, be a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. There are no proceedings pending, or to management’s knowledge, threatened, against Southern National or Sonabank as of September 30, 2017.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

Other than as set forth below, as of September 30, 2017 there have been no material changes to the risk factors faced by Southern National from those previously disclosed on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

We face significant cyber and data security risk that could result in the disclosure of confidential information, adversely affect our business or reputation and expose us to significant liabilities.

As a financial institution, we are under threat of loss due to hacking and cyber-attacks. This risk has increased in recent years, and continues to increase, as we continue to expand customer capabilities to utilize internet and other remote channels to transact business. Two of the most significant cyber-attack risks that we face are e-fraud and loss of sensitive customer data. Loss from e-fraud occurs when cybercriminals breach and extract funds directly from customer or our accounts. The attempts to breach sensitive customer data, such as account numbers and social security numbers, are less frequent but would present significant reputational, legal and/or regulatory costs to us if successful. Our risk and exposure to these matters remains heightened because of the evolving nature and complexity of these threats from cybercriminals and hackers, our plans to continue to provide internet banking and mobile banking channels, and our plans to develop additional remote connectivity solutions to serve our customers. In July 2017, we incurred a loss of approximately $172 thousand due to fraudulent wire transactions. These fraudulent wire transactions were the result of an email phishing scheme that targeted various employees of the Bank and led to an internal email compromise, affording the perpetrators access to personal information of a number of the Bank’s customers. We took immediate action to contain and eradicate the email compromise, including the implementation of control enhancements to prevent a similar situation from occurring again. We believe this was an isolated event and do not believe our technology systems have been compromised. While we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches such as the one that occurred in July 2017, we have been the subject of a successful hacking and cyber-attack and there can be no assurance that we will not suffer additional losses in the future related to this event or others.

The occurrence of any cyber-attack or information security breach, such as the one that occurred in July 2017, could result in material adverse consequences to us including damage to our reputation and the loss of customers. We also could face litigation or additional regulatory scrutiny. Litigation or regulatory actions in turn could lead to significant liability or other sanctions, including fines and penalties or reimbursement of customers adversely affected by this security breach. Even if we do not suffer any material adverse consequences as a result of the event that occurred in July 2017 or as a result of other future events, successful attacks or systems failures at the Bank or at other financial institutions could lead to a general loss of customer confidence in financial institutions including the Bank.

Our ability to mitigate the adverse consequences of occurrences (such as the one in July 2017) is in part dependent on the quality of our information security procedures and contracts and our ability to anticipate the timing and nature of any such event that occurs. In recent years, we have incurred significant expense towards improving the reliability of our systems and their security from attack. Nonetheless, there remains the risk that we may be materially harmed by this cyber-attack and information security breach or others in the future. Methods used to attack information systems change frequently (with generally increasing sophistication), often are not recognized until launched against a target, may be supported by foreign governments or other well-financed entities, and may originate from less regulated and remote areas around the world. As a result, we may be unable to address these methods in advance of attacks, including by implementing adequate preventive measures. If such an attack or breach does occur again, we might not be able to fix it timely or adequately. To the extent that such an attack or breach relates to products or services provided by others, we seek to engage in due diligence and monitoring to limit the risk.
