Organization And Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	1.       ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (“Southern National” or “SNBV”) is a corporation formed on July 28, 2004 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is the holding company for Sonabank (“Sonabank”) a Virginia state chartered bank which commenced operations on April 14, 2005.  Sonabank provides a range of financial services to individuals and small and medium sized businesses. Sonabank has fifteen branches in Virginia, located in Fairfax County (Reston, McLean and Fairfax), in Charlottesville, Warrenton (2), Middleburg, Leesburg (2), South Riding, Front Royal, New Market, Haymarket,  Richmond and Clifton Forge, and nine branches in Maryland, in Rockville, Shady Grove, Germantown, Frederick, Bethesda, Upper Marlboro, Brandywine, Owings and Huntingtown.
	The accounting policies and practices of Southern National and subsidiary conform to U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and to general practice within the banking industry.  Major policies and practices are described below:
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern National and its wholly owned subsidiary.  Southern National is a bank holding company that owns all of the outstanding common stock of its banking subsidiary, Sonabank.   All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include: the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of investment securities, other than temporary impairment of investment securities, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, fair value measurements related to assets acquired and liabilities assumed from business combinations, the FDIC indemnification asset, mortgage servicing rights, other real estate owned and deferred tax assets.
	Investment Securities
	Debt securities that Southern National has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost.
	Securities classified as available for sale are those debt and equity securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs or other similar factors.  Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses net of deferred taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.
	Purchased premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the settlement date and are determined using the specific identification method.
	Southern National purchases amortizing investment securities in which the underlying assets are residential mortgage loans subject to prepayments.  The actual principal reduction on these assets varies from the expected contractual principal reduction due to principal prepayments resulting from the borrowers’ election to refinance the underlying mortgage based on market and other conditions.  The purchase premiums and discounts associated with these assets are amortized or accreted to interest income over the estimated life of the related assets.  The estimated life is calculated by projecting future prepayments and the resulting principal cash flows until maturity.  Prepayment rate projections utilize actual prepayment speed experience and available market information on like-kind instruments.  The prepayment rates form the basis for income recognition of premiums and discounts on the related assets.  Changes in prepayment estimates may cause the earnings recognized on these assets to vary over the term that the assets are held, creating volatility in the net interest margin.  Prepayment rate assumptions are monitored and updated monthly to reflect actual activity and the most recent market projections.
	Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.  For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer.  Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings.  For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
	In order to determine OTTI for purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were not highly rated, Southern National compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected remaining cash flows.  OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.
	Loans
	Southern National provides mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers.  A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by non-residential mortgage loans throughout its market area.  The ability of Southern National’s debtors to honor their contracts is in varying degrees dependent upon the real estate market conditions and general economic conditions in this area.
	Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for the allowance for loan losses, purchase premiums and discounts and any deferred loan fees or costs on originated loans.  Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method without anticipating prepayments.
	As part of the Greater Atlantic acquisition, the Bank and the FDIC entered into a loss sharing agreement on approximately $143.4 million (cost basis) of Greater Atlantic Bank’s assets.  The Bank will share in the losses on the loans and foreclosed loan collateral with the FDIC as specified in the loss sharing agreement; we refer to these assets collectively as “covered assets.”  The indemnification against losses in the commercial portfolio on the GAB portfolio ended in December 2014. The FDIC indemnification on the GAB residential mortgages and the GAB HELOCS continues for another five years. Loans that are not covered in the loss sharing agreement are referred to as “non-covered loans.”
	The accrual of interest on all loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal and interest is considered doubtful.
	All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off is reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
	Most of Southern National’s business activity is with customers located within Virginia and Maryland.  Therefore, our exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy in those areas. We are not dependent on any single customer or group of customers whose insolvency would have a material adverse effect on operations.
	Southern National has purchased, primarily through acquisitions, individual loans and groups of loans, some of which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  These purchased loans are recorded at fair value such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses.  After acquisition, losses are recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Purchased credit impaired loans are accounted for using the expected cash flow methodology, and purchased performing loans are accounted for using the contractual cash flow methodology.
	Such purchased loans are accounted for individually or aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics such as, credit score, loan type, and date of origination.  Southern National estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each purchased credit impaired loan or pool, and the expected cash flows in excess of fair value are recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool (accretable yield).  The excess of the loans’ or pool’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded (nonaccretable difference).
	Over the life of the loan or pool, expected cash flows continue to be estimated.  If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded.  If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.
	In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 310-30, and based on current information and events, if it becomes probable that there is a significant increase in cash flows previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, the Bank will recalculate the amount of accretable yield for the acquired loans as the excess of the revised cash flows expected to be collected over the sum of (1) the initial investment in the loans less (2) cash collected less (3) write downs, if any plus (4) the amount of yield accreted to date.  The amount of accretable yield will be adjusted by reclassification from non-accretable yield.  This adjustment would be accounted for as a change in estimate with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the loans.
	Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL)
	The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collection of the principal is unlikely.  Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance.
	Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a three year historical average net loss experience for each portfolio segment adjusted for current industry and economic conditions and estimates of their effect on loan collectability. While management uses available information to estimate losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly those affecting real estate values.
	The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.  The general component provides for estimated losses in unimpaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.
	A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Southern National will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the terms of the loan. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
	The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.  The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual net loss history experienced by Southern National over the most recent three years.  This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment.  These economic factors include consideration of the following:  levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.  The following portfolio segments have been identified:  owner occupied commercial real estate, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, construction and land development, commercial loans, 1-4 family residential, and other consumer.  While underwriting practices in this environment are more stringent, the bank estimates the effect of internal factors on future net loss experience to be negligible.  Management’s estimate of the effect of current external economic environmental conditions on future net loss experience is significant in all loan segments and particularly on loans secured by real estate including single family 1-4, non-owner occupied commercial real estate and construction and land development loans.  These factors include excess inventory, generally less demand driven in part by fewer qualified borrowers and buyers.  These considerations have played a significant role in management’s estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses.
	Commercial real estate consists of borrowings secured by owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied commercial real estate.  Repayment of these loans is dependent upon rental income or the subsequent sale of the property for loans secured by non-owner-occupied commercial real estate and by cash flows from business operations for owner-occupied commercial real estate.  Loans for which the source of repayment is rental income are primarily impacted by local economic conditions which dictate occupancy rates and the amount of rent charged.  Commercial real estate loans that are dependent on cash flows from operations can also be adversely affected by current market conditions for their product or service.
	Construction and land development primarily consist of borrowings to purchase and develop raw land into residential and non-residential properties.  Construction loans are extended to individuals as well as corporations for the construction of an individual or multiple properties and are secured by raw land and the subsequent improvements.  Repayment of the loans to real estate developers is dependent upon the sale or lease of properties to third parties in a timely fashion upon completion.  Should there be delays in construction or a downturn in the market for those properties, there may be significant erosion in value which may be absorbed by Southern National.
	Commercial loans consist of borrowings for commercial purposes to individuals, corporations, partnerships, sole proprietorships, and other business enterprises.  Commercial loans are generally secured by business assets such as equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, or any other asset excluding real estate and generally made to finance capital expenditures or operations.  Southern National’s risk exposure is related to deterioration in the value of collateral securing the loan should foreclosure become necessary.  Generally, business assets used or produced in operations do not maintain their value upon foreclosure which may require Southern National to write-down the value significantly to sell.
	Residential real estate loans consist of loans to individuals for the purchase of primary residences with repayment primarily through wage or other income sources of the individual borrower.  Southern National’s loss exposure to these loans is dependent on local market conditions for residential properties as loan amounts are determined, in part, by the fair value of the property at origination.
	Other consumer loans are comprised of loans to individuals both unsecured and secured and open-end home equity loans secured by real estate, with repayment dependent on individual wages and other income.  The risk of loss on consumer loans is elevated as the collateral securing these loans, if any, rapidly depreciate in value or may be worthless and/or difficult to locate if repossession is necessary.  Losses in this portfolio are generally relatively low, however, due to the small individual loan size and the balance outstanding as a percentage of Southern National’s entire portfolio.
	Transfers of Financial Assets
	Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from Southern National, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and Southern National does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
	Equity Method Investments
	Southern National’s investment in Southern Trust Mortgage (“STM”) is being accounted for under the equity method.  Under the equity method, the carrying value of Southern National’s investment in STM was originally recorded at cost but is adjusted periodically to record Southern National’s proportionate share of STM’s earnings or losses through noninterest income and decreased by the amount of cash dividends or similar distributions received from STM.
	Bank Premises and Equipment
	Land is carried at cost.  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight line method with useful lives of 30 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	Goodwill resulting from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired.  Goodwill resulting from business combinations after January 1, 2009, is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.  Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. Southern National has selected August 31 as the date to perform the annual goodwill impairment assessment.  Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.
	Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets arising from whole bank and branch acquisitions and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from 6 to 15 years.
	Stock Based Compensation
	Compensation cost is recognized for stock options issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
	Bank-owned Life Insurance
	Southern National has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives.  Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.
	Other Real Estate Owned
	Assets acquired through or instead of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, the direct charge-off method is recorded through expense.  Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.
	Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB)
	The Bank is a member of the FHLB system.  Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. We are also required to own FRB stock with a par value equal to 6% of capital.  FHLB stock and FRB stock are carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value.  Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	Premises and equipment, core deposit intangible assets, the FDIC indemnification asset and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows.  If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
	FDIC Indemnification Asset
	The acquisition of Greater Atlantic Bank (GAB) on December 4, 2009 was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values.  The FDIC indemnification asset was measured separately from each of the covered asset categories as it is not contractually embedded in any of the covered asset categories. The indemnification asset represents the present value of cash flows expected to be received from the FDIC for future losses on covered assets based on the expected credit losses estimated for each covered loan or loan pool and the loss sharing percentages at the acquisition date.  Cash flows are discounted at a market-based rate to reflect the uncertainty of the timing of the loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC.  The ultimate collectability of this asset is dependent upon the performance of the underlying covered assets, the passage of time and claims paid by the FDIC. We acquired the Greater Atlantic loans in December 2009 and continuously evaluate our estimates of expected losses on these loans.  During 2014, and based on the actual historical losses on the loan pools over the previous 24 month period, expected losses on the acquired Greater Atlantic loans (the covered loans) were lower than previously forecasted which results in a lower expected recovery from the FDIC. As of December 31, 2014, we expect to recover $2.3 million from the FDIC under the indemnification agreement.  The difference between the carrying amount of $3.6 million and the estimated recovery is being amortized over the remaining life of the indemnification agreement or the expected life of the loans, whichever is shorter. There were two agreements with the FDIC, one for single family assets 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 current overstatement is due to improvements in the loss estimates in the single family covered loans.
	Retirement Plans
	Employee 401(k) plan expense is the amount of matching contributions.  Supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.
	Loss Contingencies
	Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.  Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
	Dividend Restriction
	Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the bank to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders.
	Estimates and Uncertainties
Estimates including the fair value of financial instruments, other than temporary impairment, the provision for loan losses, expected loan performance and recoveries from the FDIC, and the evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, repayments and prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.  Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Operating Segments
While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis.  Discrete financial information is not available other than on a company-wide basis.  Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
Reclassifications
Certain items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  Gains and losses on OREO have been reclassified from noninterest income to noninterest expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. We have no unrecognized tax benefits and do not anticipate any increase in unrecognized benefits during the next twelve months.  Should the accrual of any interest or penalties relative to unrecognized tax benefits be necessary, it is our policy to record such accruals in our income tax accounts; no such accruals exist as of December 31, 2014.  Southern National and its subsidiary file a consolidated U. S. federal tax return; Sonabank files a Maryland state income tax return and Southern National files a Virginia state income tax return.  These returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for all years after 2010.
Restrictions on Cash
Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements in the amount of $1.5 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, Southern National defines cash and cash equivalents as cash due from banks and interest-bearing deposits in other banks with maturities less than 90 days.  Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions and short-term borrowings.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.  Potential common shares that may be issued by SNBV relate solely to outstanding stock options and warrants and are determined using the treasury stock method.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss).  Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and the non-credit component of other than temporary impairment of securities held-to-maturity which are also recognized as a separate component of equity.
Off Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, Southern National has entered into commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Southern National’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). These amendments affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g. insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance, and creates a Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The ASU allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. SNBV is assessing the effects of this ASU, which exclude financial instruments from its scope, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” This ASU aligns the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. The new guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to maturity transactions and supersedes the guidance under which a transfer of a financial asset and a contemporaneous repurchase financing could be accounted for on a combined basis as a forward agreement. The amendments in the ASU also require a new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. Additional disclosures will be required for the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014; however, the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Southern National’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Management does not anticipate that this ASU will significantly impact SNBV.

	During 2014, we sold no securities. During 2013, we sold 55 thousand shares of available for sale FHLMC preferred stock resulting in a gain of $142 thousand. During 2012, we sold $8.2 million of available for sale SBA pooled securities acquired in the Greater Atlantic Bank transaction resulting in a gain of $287 thousand  and $14.4 million available for sale securities acquired in the HarVest acquisition resulting in a loss of $13 thousand.
	The fair value and amortized cost, if different, of debt securities as of December 31, 2014 by contractual maturity were as follows (in thousands).  Securities not due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, are shown separately.

	Securities with a carrying amount of approximately $71.8 million and $65.3 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements and a line of credit for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”).
	Southern National monitors the portfolio for indicators of other than temporary impairment.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, certain securities’ fair values were below cost. As outlined in the table below, there were securities with fair values totaling approximately $51.3 million in the portfolio with the carrying value exceeding the estimated fair value that are considered temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and market illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because we do not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that we will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, management does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2014. The following tables present information regarding securities in a continuous unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands) by duration of time in a loss position:

Each of these securities has been evaluated for other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”).  In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each security, Sonabank works with independent third parties to estimate expected cash flows and assist with the evaluation of other than temporary impairment. The cash flow analyses performed included the following assumptions:
●	.5% of the remaining performing collateral will default or defer per annum.
●	Recoveries of 11% with a two year lag on all defaults and deferrals.
●	No prepayments for 10 years and then 1% per annum for the remaining life of the security.
●	Additionally banks with assets over $15 billion will no longer be allowed to count down streamed trust preferred proceeds as Tier 1 capital (although it will still be counted as Tier 2 capital). That will incent the large banks to prepay their trust preferred securities if they can or if it is economically desirable. As a consequence, we have projected in all of our pools that 10% of the collateral issued by banks with assets over $15 billion will prepay in the first year of the forecast, and 15% in the second year.
●	Our securities have been modeled using the above assumptions by independent third parties using the forward LIBOR curve to discount projected cash flows to present values.
We recognized OTTI charges of $41 thousand during 2014 compared to OTTI charges related to credit on the trust preferred securities totaling $3 thousand and $717 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	(1)   Covered Loans were acquired in the Greater Atlantic transaction and are covered under an FDIC loss-share agreement. The agreement covering non-single family loans expired in December 2014.
	Accounting policy related to the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical policy given the level of estimation, judgment, and uncertainty in the levels of the allowance required to account for the inherent probable losses in the loan portfolio and the material effect such estimation, judgment, and uncertainty can have on the consolidated financial results.
	As part of the Greater Atlantic acquisition, the Bank and the FDIC entered into loss sharing agreements on approximately $143.4 million (contractual basis) of Greater Atlantic Bank’s assets.  There were two agreements with the FDIC, one for single family loans which is a 10-year agreement expiring in December 2019, and one for non-single family (commercial) assets which was a 5-year agreement which expired in December 2014. The Bank will share in the losses on the loans and foreclosed loan collateral with the FDIC as specified in the loss sharing agreements; we refer to these assets collectively as “covered assets.”  Loans that are not covered in the loss sharing agreement are referred to as “non-covered loans”. As of December 31, 2014, non-covered loans included $34.0 million of loans acquired in the HarVest acquisition and $59.5 million acquired in the PGFSB acquisition.
	Accretable discount on the acquired covered loans, the PGFSB loans and the HarVest loans was $9.3 million and $8.9 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively.
	Credit-impaired covered loans are those loans which presented evidence of credit deterioration at the date of acquisition and it is probable that Southern National would not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Generally, acquired loans that meet Southern National’s definition for nonaccrual status fell within the definition of credit-impaired covered loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
A modification is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both of the following exist: (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) the Bank has granted a concession to the borrower.  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 year ending December 31, 2014, there were no loans modified in troubled debt restructurings.  No TDRs defaulted during the year ending December 31, 2014, which had been modified in the previous 12 months.
During 2013, we refinanced 15 loans to one borrower totaling $5.9 million secured by single family 1-4 residential properties with a loan in the amount of $5.2 million secured by a first deed of trust on the properties and a loan in the amount of $663 thousand secured by a second deed of trust on the properties which was charged off as of December 31, 2013.  There is no commitment to lend additional funds to this borrower. During 2013, we modified one commercial real estate owner-occupied loan in a troubled debt restructuring with an unpaid principal balance of $708 thousand which was restructured by reducing the principal portion of the contractual principal and interest payment without modifying the interest rate.  There is no additional commitment to lend to this borrower.
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 has no loans classified Doubtful.
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 are 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.

FAIR_VALUE

FAIR VALUE	12 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE	4.             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:
	Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis
	Securities Available for Sale
	Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities.  If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow.  Level 2 securities would include U. S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities.  In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  Currently, all of Southern National’s available-for-sale debt securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

	Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-recurring Basis:
	Trust Preferred Securities Classified as Held-to-Maturity
	The base input in calculating fair value is a Bloomberg Fair Value Index yield curve for single issuer trust preferred securities which correspond to the ratings of the securities we own.  We also use composite rating indices to fill in the gaps where the bank rating indices did not correspond to the ratings in our portfolio.  When a bank index that matches the rating of our security is not available, we used the bank index that most closely matches the rating, adjusted by the spread between the composite index that most closely matches the security’s rating and the composite index with a rating that matches the bank index used.  Then, we use the adjusted index yield, which is further adjusted by a liquidity premium, as the discount rate to be used in the calculation of the present value of the same cash flows used to evaluate the securities for OTTI.  The liquidity premiums were derived in consultation with a securities advisor. The liquidity premiums we used ranged from 2% to 5%, and the adjusted discount rates ranged from 8.91% to 13.95% at December 31, 2014.   The liquidity premiums we used ranged from 2% to 5%, and the adjusted discount rates ranged from 10.97% to 14.97% at December 31, 2013. Due to current market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these securities, the market value of the securities is highly sensitive to assumption changes and market volatility.  We have determined that our trust preferred securities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
	Other Residential Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Classified as Held-to Maturity
	The fair value was estimated within Level 2 fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is based on either pricing models, quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.  We have evaluated this security for potential impairment and, based on our review of the trustee report, shock analysis and current information regarding delinquencies, nonperforming loans and credit support, it has been determined that no OTTI charge for credit exists for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The assumptions used in the analysis included a 6.3% prepayment speed, 1.4% default rate, a 72% loss severity and an accounting yield of 2.39%.
	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 December 31, 2014 and 2013. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Non-covered loans identified as impaired totaled $23.8 million (including SBA guarantees of $4.7 million and HarVest loans of $1.1 million) as of December 31, 2014 with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $705 thousand compared to a carrying amount of $23.2 million (including SBA guarantees of $2.4 million) with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $717 thousand at December 31, 2013.
	Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
	OREO is evaluated at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value as determined by independent appraisal or evaluation less cost to sell.  In some cases appraised value is net of costs to sell.  Selling costs have been in the range from 6% to 7.6% of collateral valuation at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. OREO is further evaluated quarterly for any additional impairment.  At December 31, 2014, the total amount of OREO was $13.1 million, all of which was non-covered.
	At December 31, 2013, the total amount of OREO was $11.8 million, of which $9.6 million was non-covered and $2.2 million was covered.

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, savings accounts, money market accounts, short-term debt, and variable rate loans that reprice frequently and fully.  For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life. A discount for liquidity risk was not considered necessary in estimating the fair value of loans. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.  Fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates for similar financing.  The fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset was determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using the long-term risk free rate plus a premium and represents the present value of our current expectation for recoveries from the FDIC on covered loans.  The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.  The fair value of loans is not presented on an exit price basis.

	Goodwill
	Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances warrant.  Goodwill is primarily related to the 2006 acquisition of 1st Service Bank.  The acquisition of PGFSB in 2014 increased goodwill by $1.4 million.  Our annual assessment timing is during the third calendar quarter.    For the 2014 assessment, we performed a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of our single reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We concluded that the fair value of our single reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount and that it was not necessary to perform the two-step test pursuant to ASC 350-20. Our qualitative assessment considered many factors including, but not limited to, our actual and projected operating performance and profitability, as well as consideration of recent bank merger and acquisition transaction metrics.  No impairment was indicated in 2014 or 2013.

Fdic Indemnification Asset [Abstract]
FDIC INDEMNIFICATION ASSET	7.	FDIC INDEMNIFICATION ASSET
	The indemnification asset represents our estimate of future expected recoveries under the FDIC loss sharing arrangement for covered loans acquired in the Greater Atlantic Bank acquisition in 2009.  The estimated fair value of the indemnification asset was $8.8 million at December 4, 2009, the date of acquisition.   The following table presents changes in the indemnification asset for the periods indicated (in thousands):
			2014			2013
	Balance as of January 1		$	5,804		$	6,735
	Payments from FDIC			(1,037	)		(1,017	)
	Reforecasting adjustment (1)			34			569
	Accretion (amortization)			(1,230	)		(483	)
	Balance as of December 31		$	3,571		$	5,804
	(1)  Represents an increase in the carrying value of the indemnification asset resulting from increased reforecasted losses in individual covered loans and covered loan pools.
	During 2014, and based on the actual historical losses on the loan pools over the previous 24 month period, expected losses on the acquired Greater Atlantic loans (the covered loans) were lower than previously forecasted which results in a lower expected recovery from the FDIC. As of December 31, 2014, we expect to recover $2.3 million from the FDIC under the indemnification agreement.  The difference between the carrying amount of $3.6 million and the estimated recovery is being amortized over the remaining life of the indemnification agreement or the expected life of the loans, whichever is shorter.
	There were two agreements with the FDIC, one for single family assets 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 current overstatement is due to improvements in the loss estimates in the single family covered loans.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS	12.	EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
	Southern National has a 401(k) plan that allows employees to make pre-tax contributions for retirement.  The 401(k) plan provides for discretionary matching contributions by Southern National.  Expense for 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $102 thousand, $115 thousand and $78 thousand, respectively.
	A deferred compensation plan that covers two executive officers was established in 2007.  Under the plan, the Bank pays each participant, or their beneficiary, the amount of compensation deferred plus accrued interest over 10 years, beginning with the individual’s retirement.  A liability is accrued for the obligation under these plans.  The expense incurred for the deferred compensation in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $340 thousand, $225 thousand and $234 thousand, respectively. The deferred compensation liability was $1.6 million and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	In 2004, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan that authorized the reservation of up to 302,500 shares of common stock and provided for the granting of stock options to certain directors, officers and employees.  The 2010 Stock Awards and Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors in January 2010 and approved by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting in April 2010. The 2010 plan authorized the reservation of an additional 700,000 shares of common stock for the granting of stock awards. The options granted to officers and employees are incentive stock options and the options granted to non-employee directors are non-qualified stock options.  The purpose of the plan is to afford key employees an incentive to remain in the employ of Southern National and to assist in the attracting and retaining of non-employee directors by affording them an opportunity to share in Southern National’s future success.  Under the plan, the option’s price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date.  The maximum term of the options is ten years and options granted may be subject to a graded vesting schedule.
	Southern National granted 104,750 options during 2014. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model.  The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value options granted in the years indicated:
			2014			2013			2012
	Expected life		10 years			10 years			10 years
	Expected volatility			29.3	%		34.21	%		35.64	%
	Risk-free interest rate			2.48	%		2.42	%		1.65	%
	Weighted average fair value per option granted		$	2.88		$	3.58		$	3.63
	Dividend yield			2.55	%		1.29	%		0	%
	The risk-free interest rate was developed using the U. S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected life of the options on the grant date.  An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock compensation expense on future option grants. The dividend yield has had a de minimis impact on the fair value of the awards given the recent initiation of the dividend and the amount.
	A summary of the activity in the stock option plan for 2014 follows:
									Weighted
						Weighted			Average			Aggregate
						Average			Remaining			Intrinsic
						Exercise			Contractual			Value
			Shares			Price			Term			(in thousands)
	Options outstanding, beginning of period			631,075		$	8.21
	Granted			104,750			10.47
	Forfeited			(14,575	)		8.38
	Exercised			(100,200	)		8.84
	Options outstanding, end of period			621,050		$	8.49			6.4		$	1,781
	Vested or expected to vest			621,050		$	8.49			6.4		$	1,781
	Exercisable at end of period			320,290		$	7.98			4.8		$	1,088
	Stock-based compensation expense was $317 thousand, $284 thousand and $195 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	As of December 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense associated with stock options was $900 thousand which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.3 years.

Financial Instruments With Off Balance Sheet Risk [Abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK	14	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
	Southern National is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  These instruments involve elements of credit and funding risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.  Letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by Southern National to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.  We had letters of credit outstanding totaling $8.4 million and $6.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is based on the contractual amount of these instruments.  We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Unless noted otherwise, we do not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.
	Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments are made predominately for adjustable rate loans, and generally have fixed expiration dates of up to three months or other termination clauses and usually require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $113.3 million and $105.8 million, respectively. We had no approved loan commitments as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.  Virtually all of our unfunded lines of credit, undisbursed construction loan funds and approved loan commitments are variable rate.

Regulatory Matters [Abstract]
REGULATORY MATTERS	16	REGULATORY MATTERS
	Southern National and its subsidiary bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (PCA), we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.
	Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Southern National to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2014, that Southern National meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
	The capital amounts and ratios for Southern National and Sonabank at year end are presented in the following table (in thousands):

	Southern National’s principal source of funds for dividend payments is dividends received from the Bank.  Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies.  Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described above.  During 2015, the Bank could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $14.0 million plus any 2015 net profits retained to the date of the dividend declaration.

	On April 27, 2012, Sonabank entered into an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to assume all of the deposits and certain assets of HarVest Bank of Maryland (“HarVest”) a state chartered non-Federal Reserve member commercial bank. HarVest operated four branches – North Rockville, Frederick, Germantown and Bethesda (all located in Maryland).
	The assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the April 27, 2012 acquisition date.  A summary of the net assets acquired from the FDIC is as follows (in thousands):
	Assets
	Cash and cash equivalents	$	21,704
	Consideration from the FDIC		25,553
	Investment securities		38,379
	Loans		64,966

	FHLB advances		16,738
	Other liabilities		136
	Total liabilities	$	157,358
	Net assets acquired (bargain purchase gain)	$	3,484
	A valuation of the acquired loans and core deposit intangible was performed with the assistance of a third-party valuation consultant.  The unpaid principal balance and fair value of performing loans was $67.4 million and $63.0 million, respectively.  The discount of $4.4 million will be accreted through interest income over the life of the loans in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310-20.  The unpaid principal balance and estimated fair value of acquired and retained non-performing loans was $5.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively.  In accordance with ASC 310-30, the discount of $3.4 million for these credit impaired loans will not be accreted.
	Because HarVest was a distressed financial institution that was seized by the FDIC, certain historical operating information is not available to us and the preparation of pro forma operating disclosures is not practicable.
	The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in the recognition of a bargain purchase gain of $3.5 million, and the bargain purchase gain is equal to the amount by which the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeded the consideration transferred and is influenced significantly by the FDIC-assisted transaction process.  However, the acquired loans in the HarVest transaction are not covered by an indemnification agreement with the FDIC.

	The merger with Prince George’s Federal Savings Bank (PGFSB) was completed on August 1, 2014, and allowed Southern National to expand its presence in Maryland. Southern National acquired PGFSB in a cash and stock transaction. PGFSB was founded in 1931 and is headquartered in Upper Marlboro, which is the County Seat of Prince George’s County, Maryland. Prince George’s FSB has four offices, all of which are in Maryland, including a main office in Upper Marlboro and three branch offices in Dunkirk, Brandywine and Huntingtown. Prince George’s FSB has an excellent core deposit base reflecting its tenure in the communities it serves, and its lending activities have historically been focused on residential mortgages which make up the vast majority of loans acquired.
	The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.  The assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the August 1, 2014 acquisition date. Total consideration for the acquisition included cash paid to PGFSB shareholders of $5.749 million and 525,858 shares of Southern National common stock in the amount of $5.748 million.  A summary of the net assets acquired is as follows (in thousands):
	Total purchase price	$	11,497

	Goodwill		1,354
		$	11,497
	A valuation of the acquired loans and core deposit intangible was performed with the assistance of a third-party valuation consultant.  The unpaid principal balance and fair value of performing loans was $64.2 million and $61.2 million, respectively.  The discount of $3.0 million will be accreted through interest income over the life of the loans in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic 310-20.  The unpaid principal balance and estimated fair value of acquired and retained non-performing loans was $1.5 million and $682 thousand, respectively.  The discount of $790 thousand for these credit impaired loans will not be accreted in accordance with ASC 310-30.  We also acquired nonperforming loans with an unpaid principal balance of $5.5 million and a fair value of $3.5 million which were sold immediately after acquisition for the fair value amount.
	Merger costs related to the PGFSB acquisition were $445 thousand, consisting primarily of legal, investment banking and data processing expenses.  We recorded goodwill in the amount of $1.4 million which is the difference between the total purchase price and the net assets acquired and is not deductible for income tax purposes.
	Loan related interest income generated from PGFSB was approximately $1.5 million for the year to date period or 5 months since the acquisition.
	The PGFSB branches have been integrated into the Sonabank branch system.
	On May 15, 2014, Southern National Bancorp of Virginia Inc., Jerry Flowers of Southern Trust Mortgage (STM), and Eastern Virginia Bankshares (EVB), the holding company for EVB, completed the purchase of the 62 percent of STM previously owned by Middleburg Bank.  Jerry Flowers and other STM executives now own 51.1 percent of STM, Sonabank owns 44 percent and EVB owns 4.9 percent.
	Sonabank’s equity method investment in STM totaled $3.2 million. Sonabank also acquired 1.8 million shares of preferred stock in the amount of $1.8 million in STM with an annual dividend yield of 7.5%.

	Dec. 31, 2014
Organization And Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern National and its wholly owned subsidiary.  Southern National is a bank holding company that owns all of the outstanding common stock of its banking subsidiary, Sonabank.   All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include: the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of investment securities, other than temporary impairment of investment securities, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, fair value measurements related to assets acquired and liabilities assumed from business combinations, the FDIC indemnification asset, mortgage servicing rights, other real estate owned and deferred tax assets.
Investment Securities	Investment Securities
	Debt securities that Southern National has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost.
	Securities classified as available for sale are those debt and equity securities that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs or other similar factors.  Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses net of deferred taxes, included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.
	Purchased premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the settlement date and are determined using the specific identification method.
	Southern National purchases amortizing investment securities in which the underlying assets are residential mortgage loans subject to prepayments.  The actual principal reduction on these assets varies from the expected contractual principal reduction due to principal prepayments resulting from the borrowers’ election to refinance the underlying mortgage based on market and other conditions.  The purchase premiums and discounts associated with these assets are amortized or accreted to interest income over the estimated life of the related assets.  The estimated life is calculated by projecting future prepayments and the resulting principal cash flows until maturity.  Prepayment rate projections utilize actual prepayment speed experience and available market information on like-kind instruments.  The prepayment rates form the basis for income recognition of premiums and discounts on the related assets.  Changes in prepayment estimates may cause the earnings recognized on these assets to vary over the term that the assets are held, creating volatility in the net interest margin.  Prepayment rate assumptions are monitored and updated monthly to reflect actual activity and the most recent market projections.
	Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.  For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer.  Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings.  For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income.  The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
	In order to determine OTTI for purchased beneficial interests that, on the purchase date, were not highly rated, Southern National compares the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date to the current expected remaining cash flows.  OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows.
Loans	Loans
	Southern National provides mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers.  A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by non-residential mortgage loans throughout its market area.  The ability of Southern National’s debtors to honor their contracts is in varying degrees dependent upon the real estate market conditions and general economic conditions in this area.
	Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for the allowance for loan losses, purchase premiums and discounts and any deferred loan fees or costs on originated loans.  Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.  Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method without anticipating prepayments.
	As part of the Greater Atlantic acquisition, the Bank and the FDIC entered into a loss sharing agreement on approximately $143.4 million (cost basis) of Greater Atlantic Bank’s assets.  The Bank will share in the losses on the loans and foreclosed loan collateral with the FDIC as specified in the loss sharing agreement; we refer to these assets collectively as “covered assets.”  The indemnification against losses in the commercial portfolio on the GAB portfolio ended in December 2014. The FDIC indemnification on the GAB residential mortgages and the GAB HELOCS continues for another five years. Loans that are not covered in the loss sharing agreement are referred to as “non-covered loans.”
	The accrual of interest on all loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal and interest is considered doubtful.
	All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off is reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
	Most of Southern National’s business activity is with customers located within Virginia and Maryland.  Therefore, our exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy in those areas. We are not dependent on any single customer or group of customers whose insolvency would have a material adverse effect on operations.
	Southern National has purchased, primarily through acquisitions, individual loans and groups of loans, some of which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  These purchased loans are recorded at fair value such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses.  After acquisition, losses are recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Purchased credit impaired loans are accounted for using the expected cash flow methodology, and purchased performing loans are accounted for using the contractual cash flow methodology.
	Such purchased loans are accounted for individually or aggregated into pools of loans based on common risk characteristics such as, credit score, loan type, and date of origination.  Southern National estimates the amount and timing of expected cash flows for each purchased credit impaired loan or pool, and the expected cash flows in excess of fair value are recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool (accretable yield).  The excess of the loans’ or pool’s contractual principal and interest over expected cash flows is not recorded (nonaccretable difference).
	Over the life of the loan or pool, expected cash flows continue to be estimated.  If the present value of expected cash flows is less than the carrying amount, a loss is recorded.  If the present value of expected cash flows is greater than the carrying amount, it is recognized as part of future interest income.
	In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 310-30, and based on current information and events, if it becomes probable that there is a significant increase in cash flows previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, the Bank will recalculate the amount of accretable yield for the acquired loans as the excess of the revised cash flows expected to be collected over the sum of (1) the initial investment in the loans less (2) cash collected less (3) write downs, if any plus (4) the amount of yield accreted to date.  The amount of accretable yield will be adjusted by reclassification from non-accretable yield.  This adjustment would be accounted for as a change in estimate with the amount of periodic accretion adjusted over the remaining life of the loans.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL)	Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL)
	The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the collection of the principal is unlikely.  Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance.
	Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on a three year historical average net loss experience for each portfolio segment adjusted for current industry and economic conditions and estimates of their effect on loan collectability. While management uses available information to estimate losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, particularly those affecting real estate values.
	The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.  The general component provides for estimated losses in unimpaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.
	A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Southern National will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the terms of the loan. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
	The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.  The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual net loss history experienced by Southern National over the most recent three years.  This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment.  These economic factors include consideration of the following:  levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations.  The following portfolio segments have been identified:  owner occupied commercial real estate, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, construction and land development, commercial loans, 1-4 family residential, and other consumer.  While underwriting practices in this environment are more stringent, the bank estimates the effect of internal factors on future net loss experience to be negligible.  Management’s estimate of the effect of current external economic environmental conditions on future net loss experience is significant in all loan segments and particularly on loans secured by real estate including single family 1-4, non-owner occupied commercial real estate and construction and land development loans.  These factors include excess inventory, generally less demand driven in part by fewer qualified borrowers and buyers.  These considerations have played a significant role in management’s estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses.
	Commercial real estate consists of borrowings secured by owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied commercial real estate.  Repayment of these loans is dependent upon rental income or the subsequent sale of the property for loans secured by non-owner-occupied commercial real estate and by cash flows from business operations for owner-occupied commercial real estate.  Loans for which the source of repayment is rental income are primarily impacted by local economic conditions which dictate occupancy rates and the amount of rent charged.  Commercial real estate loans that are dependent on cash flows from operations can also be adversely affected by current market conditions for their product or service.
	Construction and land development primarily consist of borrowings to purchase and develop raw land into residential and non-residential properties.  Construction loans are extended to individuals as well as corporations for the construction of an individual or multiple properties and are secured by raw land and the subsequent improvements.  Repayment of the loans to real estate developers is dependent upon the sale or lease of properties to third parties in a timely fashion upon completion.  Should there be delays in construction or a downturn in the market for those properties, there may be significant erosion in value which may be absorbed by Southern National.
	Commercial loans consist of borrowings for commercial purposes to individuals, corporations, partnerships, sole proprietorships, and other business enterprises.  Commercial loans are generally secured by business assets such as equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, or any other asset excluding real estate and generally made to finance capital expenditures or operations.  Southern National’s risk exposure is related to deterioration in the value of collateral securing the loan should foreclosure become necessary.  Generally, business assets used or produced in operations do not maintain their value upon foreclosure which may require Southern National to write-down the value significantly to sell.
	Residential real estate loans consist of loans to individuals for the purchase of primary residences with repayment primarily through wage or other income sources of the individual borrower.  Southern National’s loss exposure to these loans is dependent on local market conditions for residential properties as loan amounts are determined, in part, by the fair value of the property at origination.
	Other consumer loans are comprised of loans to individuals both unsecured and secured and open-end home equity loans secured by real estate, with repayment dependent on individual wages and other income.  The risk of loss on consumer loans is elevated as the collateral securing these loans, if any, rapidly depreciate in value or may be worthless and/or difficult to locate if repossession is necessary.  Losses in this portfolio are generally relatively low, however, due to the small individual loan size and the balance outstanding as a percentage of Southern National’s entire portfolio.
Transfers of Financial Assets	Transfers of Financial Assets
	Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been relinquished.  Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from Southern National, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and Southern National does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Equity Method Investments	Equity Method Investments
	Southern National’s investment in Southern Trust Mortgage (“STM”) is being accounted for under the equity method.  Under the equity method, the carrying value of Southern National’s investment in STM was originally recorded at cost but is adjusted periodically to record Southern National’s proportionate share of STM’s earnings or losses through noninterest income and decreased by the amount of cash dividends or similar distributions received from STM.
Bank Premises and Equipment	Bank Premises and Equipment
	Land is carried at cost.  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Buildings and related components are depreciated using the straight line method with useful lives of 30 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method with useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	Goodwill resulting from business combinations prior to January 1, 2009 represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired.  Goodwill resulting from business combinations after January 1, 2009, is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.  Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually. Southern National has selected August 31 as the date to perform the annual goodwill impairment assessment.  Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is the only intangible asset with an indefinite life on our balance sheet.
	Other intangible assets consist of core deposit intangible assets arising from whole bank and branch acquisitions and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from 6 to 15 years.
Stock Based Compensation	Stock Based Compensation
	Compensation cost is recognized for stock options issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Bank-owned Life Insurance	Bank-owned Life Insurance
	Southern National has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives.  Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement.
Other Real Estate Owned	Other Real Estate Owned
	Assets acquired through or instead of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, the direct charge-off method is recorded through expense.  Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.
Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB)	Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB)
	The Bank is a member of the FHLB system.  Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. We are also required to own FRB stock with a par value equal to 6% of capital.  FHLB stock and FRB stock are carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value.  Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	Premises and equipment, core deposit intangible assets, the FDIC indemnification asset and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows.  If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
FDIC Indemnification Asset	FDIC Indemnification Asset
	The acquisition of Greater Atlantic Bank (GAB) on December 4, 2009 was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values.  The FDIC indemnification asset was measured separately from each of the covered asset categories as it is not contractually embedded in any of the covered asset categories. The indemnification asset represents the present value of cash flows expected to be received from the FDIC for future losses on covered assets based on the expected credit losses estimated for each covered loan or loan pool and the loss sharing percentages at the acquisition date.  Cash flows are discounted at a market-based rate to reflect the uncertainty of the timing of the loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC.  The ultimate collectability of this asset is dependent upon the performance of the underlying covered assets, the passage of time and claims paid by the FDIC. We acquired the Greater Atlantic loans in December 2009 and continuously evaluate our estimates of expected losses on these loans.  During 2014, and based on the actual historical losses on the loan pools over the previous 24 month period, expected losses on the acquired Greater Atlantic loans (the covered loans) were lower than previously forecasted which results in a lower expected recovery from the FDIC. As of December 31, 2014, we expect to recover $2.3 million from the FDIC under the indemnification agreement.  The difference between the carrying amount of $3.6 million and the estimated recovery is being amortized over the remaining life of the indemnification agreement or the expected life of the loans, whichever is shorter. There were two agreements with the FDIC, one for single family assets 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 current overstatement is due to improvements in the loss estimates in the single family covered loans.
Retirement Plans	Retirement Plans
	Employee 401(k) plan expense is the amount of matching contributions.  Supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the benefits over years of service.
Loss Contingencies	Loss Contingencies
	Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated.  Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
Dividend Restriction	Dividend Restriction
	Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the bank to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders.
Estimates and Uncertainties	Estimates and Uncertainties
	Estimates including the fair value of financial instruments, other than temporary impairment, the provision for loan losses, expected loan performance and recoveries from the FDIC, and the evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, repayments and prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items.  Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Operating Segments	Operating Segments
	While the chief decision-makers monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a company-wide basis.  Discrete financial information is not available other than on a company-wide basis.  Accordingly, all of the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications
	Certain items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  Gains and losses on OREO have been reclassified from noninterest income to noninterest expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
	A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur.  The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. We have no unrecognized tax benefits and do not anticipate any increase in unrecognized benefits during the next twelve months.  Should the accrual of any interest or penalties relative to unrecognized tax benefits be necessary, it is our policy to record such accruals in our income tax accounts; no such accruals exist as of December 31, 2014.  Southern National and its subsidiary file a consolidated U. S. federal tax return; Sonabank files a Maryland state income tax return and Southern National files a Virginia state income tax return.  These returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for all years after 2010.
Restrictions on Cash	Restrictions on Cash
	Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements in the amount of $1.5 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows	Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
	For purposes of reporting cash flows, Southern National defines cash and cash equivalents as cash due from banks and interest-bearing deposits in other banks with maturities less than 90 days.  Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions and short-term borrowings.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.  Potential common shares that may be issued by SNBV relate solely to outstanding stock options and warrants and are determined using the treasury stock method.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss).  Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale and the non-credit component of other than temporary impairment of securities held-to-maturity which are also recognized as a separate component of equity.
Off Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments	Off Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments
	In the ordinary course of business, Southern National has entered into commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, “Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Southern National’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). These amendments affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g. insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance, and creates a Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The ASU allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. SNBV is assessing the effects of this ASU, which exclude financial instruments from its scope, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” This ASU aligns the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. The new guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to maturity transactions and supersedes the guidance under which a transfer of a financial asset and a contemporaneous repurchase financing could be accounted for on a combined basis as a forward agreement. The amendments in the ASU also require a new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. Additional disclosures will be required for the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014; however, the disclosure for transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Southern National’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved After the Requisite Service Period. The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Management does not anticipate that this ASU will significantly impact SNBV.
