Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2018

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 June 30, 2018, Sonabank had thirty-eight full-service retail branches in Virginia, located in the counties of Chesterfield (2), 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, located 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. In addition, Southern National owns the Trust which is an unconsolidated subsidiary. The junior subordinated debt owed to the Trust is reported as a liability of Southern National.

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, 2017.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Southern National records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606,“Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, we must identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. Significant revenue has not been recognized in the current reporting period that results from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

Our primary sources of revenue are derived from financial instruments, namely loans, investment securities, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of Topic 606. We have evaluated the nature of the Company’s contracts with customers and determined that further disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers into more granular categories beyond what is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income was not necessary. Southern National generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying Topic 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.

6

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

Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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 became 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’s revenue recognition pattern for revenue streams within the scope of ASU 2014-09, include service charges on deposit accounts, investment services income and card interchange fees, which did not materially change from its prior practice. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1,Financial Instruments Overall (Topic 825): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2016-01: (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 became 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 on January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In accordance with (d) above, the Company measured fair value of its net loans, certificates of deposits, junior subordinated debt, and senior subordinated notes as of June 30, 2018 using an exit price notion (see Note 8Fair Value).

7

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. Before ASU 2016-15 GAAP was unclear or did not include specific guidance on how to classify certain transactions in the statement of cash flows. This ASU reduced diversity in practice in how eight particular transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15 became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities are required to apply the guidance retrospectively. If it is impracticable to apply the guidance retrospectively for an issue, the amendments related to that issue would be applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018. ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 on January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220); Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this ASU require a reclassification from/to accumulated other comprehensive income and to/from retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the change in the newly enacted federal corporate income tax rate. Consequently, the amendments in this ASU eliminates the stranded tax effects associated with the change in the federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption allowed. Southern National adopted this ASU 2018-02 during the first quarter of 2018. The effect of the adoption of this ASU increased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $229 thousand with the offset to retained earnings as recorded in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. This represents the difference between the historical federal corporate income tax rate and the newly enacted 21 percent federal corporate income tax rate.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:

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. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10,Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,which updates narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02. 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 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 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. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the Company’s 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 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 July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09,Codification Improvements. This ASU makes changes to a variety of topics to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification. The majority of the amendments in ASU 2018-09 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Southern National expects to adopt ASU 2018-09 in the first quarter of 2019 and is evaluating the impact of the standard, but does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on its 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. After recognition of all measurement period adjustments, SNBV recognized goodwill of $91.5 million in connection with the acquisition, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table details the total consideration paid by SNBV on June 23, 2017 in connection with the acquisition of EVBS, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting goodwill.

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 consolidating statements of income during the six months ended June 30, 2018:

	For the Six Months Ended
(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2018
Loans (1)	$	1,707
Time deposits (2)		394
Junior and senior subordinated debt (3)		42
Core deposit intangible (4)		(627	)
Net impact to income before income taxes	$	1,516

(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 "Amortization of core deposit intangible" 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 $1.03 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 $21.4 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).

Included in the $1.05 billion of acquired loans were certain loans acquired with deteriorating credit quality, or purchased credit impaired loans. The table below summarizes the purchased credit impaired loans acquired in the EVBS acquisition on June 23, 2017 (in thousands):

	Purchased Credit
	Impaired Loans
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition	$	17,970
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable difference)		(6,243	)
Expected cash flows at acquisition		11,727
Accretable difference		398
Basis in acquired loans at acquisition - estimated fair value	$	11,329

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 or sales contracts. 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 $3.3 million.  Land is not depreciated.

11

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.

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.

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.

A total of 52,700 stock options were exercised during the first six months of 2018. Southern National granted 58,000 shares of restricted stock during the first six months of 2018. A total of 700 shares of restricted stock issued in 2017 were forfeited during the first quarter of 2018 due to the employee who was granted the restricted shares leaving the Company before the shares had vested.

12

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, stock-based compensation expense was $94 thousand and $169 thousand, respectively. That compares to $41 thousand and $101 thousand for the same periods in 2017, respectively. As of June 30, 2018, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the stock options was $136 thousand, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

A summary of the activity in the stock option plan during the six months ended June 30, 2018 follows:

						Weighted
				Weighted		Average		Aggregate
				Average		Remaining		Intrinsic
				Exercise		Contractual		Value
	Shares			Price		Term		(in thousands)
Options outstanding, beginning of period		714,967		$	9.83

Investment securities with a carrying amount of approximately $163.9 million and $173.4 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, certain investment securities’ fair values were below cost. As outlined in the table below, there were investment securities with fair values totaling approximately $222.3 million in the portfolio with the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value that are considered temporarily impaired at June 30, 2018. 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 June 30, 2018.

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 six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

5. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The following table summarizes the composition of our loan portfolio as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017
Loans secured by real estate:
Commercial real estate - owner occupied	$	402,839		$	401,847
Commercial real estate - non-owner occupied		477,032			440,700
Secured by farmland		21,347			23,038
Construction and land loans		190,399			197,972
Residential 1-4 family		546,648			483,006

Total real estate loans		1,858,556			1,770,284

Consumer loans		35,000			39,374
Gross loans		2,155,043			2,062,916
Less deferred fees on loans		(151	)		(588	)
Loans, net of deferred fees	$	2,154,892		$	2,062,328

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, after recognition of certain measurement period adjustments, of $19.7 million and loans held for investment with an unpaid principal balance of $1.05 billion and an estimated fair value, after recognition of certain measurement period adjustments, of $1.03 billion, which created an accretable discount of $14.2 million at acquisition. As of June 30, 2018, outstanding loans acquired in the merger with EVBS totaled $819 million.

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”. Covered loans totaled $19.9 million and $23.3 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Accretable discount on the acquired EVBS, Greater Atlantic Bank (“GAB”), Prince George’s Federal Savings Bank (“PGFSB”), and the HarVest Bank (“HarVest”) loans totaled $15.5 million and $17.5 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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.

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.

26

During the six months ending June 30, 2018 and June 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 $665 thousand, was current as of June 30, 2018.

Credit Quality Indicator

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.

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. Southern National had no loans classified as Doubtful at June 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.

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 $15.7 million and $15.2 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $326.8 million and $361.7 million, respectively. Virtually all of our unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds are variable rate.

Pre-merger, 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 June 30, 2018.

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

30

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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. For loans who fair values are not measured based on the fair value of the collateral, impairment is measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Loans identified as impaired totaled $7.6 million (including SBA guarantees of $4.0 million) as of June 30, 2018 with no allocation made to the allowance for loan losses compared to a carrying amount of $20.7 million (including SBA guarantees of $5.0 million) with $0 allocated allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2017.

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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. OREO is further evaluated quarterly for any additional impairment. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 total OREO was $5.6 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

Accrued interest payable	Level 1 & Level 3		2,639		2,639		2,273		2,273

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, equity investment in mortgage affiliate, preferred investment in mortgage affiliate, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, savings accounts, money market accounts, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and short-term debt (FHLB short-term advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase). Fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates for similar financing. 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. 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.

At June 30, 2018 fair value of net loans, certificates of deposits, junior subordinated debt, and senior subordinated notes are measured using the exit-price notion in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2016-01. At December 31, 2017 the fair value of net loans and certificates of deposits are based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life of the asset.

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.

34

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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $20.3 million and $15.5 million, respectively.

10. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT AND SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

In connection with our merger with EVBS, the Company assumed $10.3 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 three-month LIBOR plus 2.95%. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the interest rate was 5.28% and 4.55%, 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 June 30, 2018, 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 June 30, 2018, all of the SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes qualified as Tier 2 capital. At June 30, 2018, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to the SNBV Senior Subordinated Notes totaled $807 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 June 30, 2018 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 June 30,2018, Sonabank had thirty-eight full-service retail branches in Virginia, located in the counties of Chesterfield (2), 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.

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. During 2018 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 months ended June 30, 2018 was $8.9 million or $0.37 per basic and diluted earnings per share and $17.1 million or $0.71 per basic and diluted earnings per share or the first half of 2018. That compares to a net loss of ($2.8) million, or ($0.21) basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and a loss of ($788) thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017. When comparing SNBV’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the same six months in 2017, note that most categories increased due to the merger with EVBS on June 23, 2017.

During the second quarter of 2018, the following affected net income positively:

· $1.2 million of accretion income from the acquired loan discounts;

· $732 thousand of interest income recognized on the payout of a $9.9 million nonaccrual loan; and

· $250 thousand of other noninterest income from recoveries of legacy investment securities and loans charged off by EVBS before Southern National merged with EVBS in June of 2017.

For the first six months of 2018, the following affected net income positively:

· $2.5 million of accretion income from the acquired loan discounts;

· $1.7 million of other noninterest income from recoveries of legacy investment securities and loans charged off by EVBS before Southern National merged with EVBS in June of 2017; and

· the reduced effective income tax rate of 21% from 34% due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which became effective on January 1, 2018.

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.

Three-Month Comparison.Net interest income was $23.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $11.2 million during the same period last year. Southern National’s net interest margin was 3.79% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 3.72% during the second quarter of 2017. Total income on interest-earning assets was $30.0 million and $14.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.86% and 4.73% for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Interest and fees on loans totaled $27.7 million and $13.3 million for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively. The accretion of the discount on loans acquired in the acquisitions of EVBS, Greater Atlantic Bank, HarVest and Prince Georges Federal Savings Bank contributed $1.2 million to interest income on loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $630 thousand during the second quarter of 2017. Average loans during the second quarter of 2018 were $2.14 billion compared to $1.07 billion during the same period last year. The increase in average loans was mainly attributable to the acquisition of EVBS in June of 2017.

Total interest expense was $6.5 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Interest on deposits were $3.8 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Total average interest-bearing deposits for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017 were $1.56 billion and $865.6 million, respectively. The increase in total average interest-bearing deposits was mainly attributable to the acquisition of EVBS in June of 2017. The yield on total average interest-bearing deposits was 0.98% and 1.05% for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Interest expense on total average borrowings, which include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, junior subordinated debt, and senior subordinated notes, was $2.7 million and $786 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Total average borrowings were $451.9 million and $113.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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 provision for loan loss for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 was $1.1 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the loan loss provision was $2.7 million compared to $1.6 million for the same period last year. Net charge offs for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $804 thousand and $1.0 million respectively. That compares to net charges offs of $531 thousand and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

Noninterest Income

The following table presents the major categories of noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2018		2017			Change
Account maintenance and deposit service fees	$	1,375	$	367		$	1,008
Income from bank-owned life insurance		563		163			400
Equity income from mortgage affiliate		191		112			79
Gain on sales of investment securities		-		257			(257	)
Other		424		(17	)		441
Total noninterest income	$	2,553	$	882		$	1,671

During the second quarter of 2018, Southern National had noninterest income of $2.6 million compared to $882 thousand during the second quarter of 2017. Account maintenance and deposit service fees, which totaled $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2018, increased $1.0 million when compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in account maintenance and deposit service fees was primarily driven by the additional fees made on the retail deposits acquired in the merger with EVBS on June 23, 2017. Income from bank-owned life insurance, which totaled $563 thousand for the second quarter of 2018, increased $400 thousand when compared to $163 thousand of income in second quarter of 2017. The second quarter increase was driven by $164 thousand of bank-owned life insurance income recognized from a death benefit payout in the second quarter of 2018 as well as the income from the purchase of an additional $12.0 million in bank-owned life insurance early in the second quarter of 2018. Income from the investment in STM totaled $191 thousand compared to the $112 thousand during the same quarter last year. Other noninterest income, which totaled $424 thousand for the second quarter of 2018, increased $441 thousand when compared to the same quarter last year.

The following table presents the major categories of noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

	For the Six Months Ended
	June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2018			2017			Change
Account maintenance and deposit service fees	$	2,783		$	580		$	2,203

Other		2,105			19			2,086
Total noninterest income	$	5,632		$	815		$	4,817

Noninterest income increased to $5.6 million in the first six months of 2018 from $815 thousand in the first six months of 2017. The $4.8 million increase was primarily driven by an increase of $2.2 million increase in account maintenance and deposit fees and an increase $2.1 million in other noninterest income which was primarily driven by $1.7 million of income due to recoveries of premerger charged off loans and securities by EVBS. The increase in account maintenance and deposit service fees was primarily driven by the additional fees made on the retail deposits acquired in the merger with EVBS on June 23, 2017. Income from bank-owned life insurance, which totaled $870 thousand for the first half of 2018, increased $544 thousand when compared to $326 thousand of income in first half of 2017. The increase was driven by $164 thousand of bank-owned life insurance income recognized from a death benefit payout in the second quarter of 2018 as well as the income from the increase in BOLI associated with the EVBS merger as well as the purchase of an additional $12.0 million in bank-owned life insurance early in the second quarter of 2018. The Company recognized a $257 thousand gain on the sale of securities in the second quarter of 2017 while no securities were sold in the first half of 2018.

The increases in noninterest expenses associated with the EVBS merger are in-line with Management's pre-merger expectations. Second quarter 2018 expenses remain relatively level when compared to the first quarter of 2018 and Management expects noninterest expense to remain level or perform slightly better during the remainder of 2018. Employee compensation and benefits expense totaled $7.0 million and $13.8 million for the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, as compared to $3.1 million and $6.0 million in the same periods of 2017, respectively.

A $200 thousand loss on OREO was recorded for the first quarter of 2018. No merger expenses were recorded for 2018 year to date, versus $8.6 million and $8.9 million of merger expenses recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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

Asset quality remained high during the first half of 2018. 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.

43

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.

Other real estate owned ("OREO") at June 30, 2018 was $5.6 million compared to $7.6 million at December 31, 2017. The Bank sold one OREO property with a book balance of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2018 and realized a gain of $189 thousand, while another OREO property was written down $150 thousand in the same period.

Non-covered nonaccrual loans were $1.3 million (excluding $3.7 million of loans fully covered by SBA guarantees) at June 30, 2018 compared to $12.3 million (excluding $4.7 million of loans fully covered by SBA guarantees) as of December 31, 2017. During the second quarter of 2018, a $9.9 million loan, that had been on nonaccrual status since the third quarter of 2017, was fully paid off, including $732 thousand of interest which was recognized in the second quarter of 2018. The ratio of non-covered nonperforming assets (excluding the SBA guaranteed loans) to total non-covered assets decreased from 0.77% at the end of 2017 to 0.25% at June 30, 2018.

Southern National's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total non-covered loans at June 30, 2018 was 0.52%, compared to 0.46% at the end of 2017. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered non-acquired loans was 0.85% and 0.89% at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

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.

(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 six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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.

46

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, 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 June 30, 2018, we had $326.8 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.

(1) When fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III capital rules include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% that is added on top of each of the minimum risk-based capital ratios noted above. Implementation began on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625% level and will increase each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019.

(2) Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable at the bank holding company level.

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 June 30, 2018 and as of December 31, 2017. 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Down 200		86,868		309		3.66	%		0.01	%

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.
