ACCOUNTING POLICIES	3 Months Ended

ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING POLICIES		1	ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and follow general practice within the banking industry.  Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
	These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  If needed, certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
	Adoption of New Accounting Standards
	The Company adopted ASU 2014-01, “Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects” as of January 1, 2015.  As permitted by the guidance, the Company adopted the proportional amortization method of accounting for qualified affordable housing projects.  The proportional amortization method amortizes the cost of the investment over the period in which the Company will receive tax credits and other tax benefits, and the resulting amortization is recognized as a component of income taxes attributable to continuing operations.  Historically, these investments were accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the passive losses related to the investments were recognized within noninterest expense.  The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2015 with retrospective application as required by the ASU.  Prior period results and related metrics have been recasted to conform to this presentation.  The recast of prior period information did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
	For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized amortization of $175,000 and tax credits of $257,000 associated with these investments within “Income tax expense” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.  The carrying value of the Company’s investments in these qualified affordable housing projects was $9.8 million and $10.4 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The Company recorded a liability of $5.1 million for the related unfunded commitments as of March 31, 2015, which are expected to be paid from 2015 to 2018.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.”  The amendments in this ASU eliminate from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions.  Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item.  If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.”  The amendments in this ASU amend the consolidation requirements in ASC 810, Consolidation, and significantly change the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP.  Under this guidance, limited partnerships will be considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”) unless the limited partners have either substantive kick-out or participating rights; this amendment will result in more partnerships being considered VIEs, but it will be less likely that a general partner will consolidate a limited partnership.  The amendments also change the effect that fees paid to a decision maker or service provider have on the consolidation analysis; it is less likely that the fees themselves will be considered a variable interest, that an entity will be a VIE, or that consolidation will result.  The changes modify how a reporting entity considers how its variable interests affect its consolidation process; the related party tiebreaker test and mandatory consolidation by one of the related parties will have to be performed less frequently than under current U.S. GAAP.  For entities other than limited partnerships, the amendments clarify how to determine whether the equity holders have power over the entity and could affect whether the entity is a VIE.  The amendments are expected to result in the deconsolidation of many entities.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.”  The ASU does not change the existing recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs but requires that debt issuance costs related to a debt liability recorded on the balance sheet be present in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  The amendments should be disclosed consistent with the disclosure requirement of a change in accounting principle and applied on a retrospective basis.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	2.ACQUISITIONS
	The Company’s merger and acquisition strategy focuses on high-growth areas with strong market demographics and targets organizations that have a comparable corporate culture, strong performance, and good asset quality, among other factors.  On January 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of StellarOne, a bank holding company based in Charlottesville, Virginia, in an all-stock transaction.  StellarOne’s common shareholders received 0.9739 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of StellarOne’s common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 22,147,874 shares of common stock at a fair value of $549.5 million.  The fair value of assets acquired equaled $2.96 billion and liabilities assumed equaled $2.64 billion. As a result of the transaction, StellarOne’s former bank subsidiary, StellarOne Bank, became a wholly owned bank subsidiary of the Company.  On May 9, 2014, StellarOne Bank was merged with and into the Bank.    Information regarding this acquisition is included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company did not complete any acquisitions of businesses in the first quarter of 2015.
	The net effect of the amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts associated with the Company’s acquisition accounting adjustments had the following impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (dollars in thousands):

	Due to restrictions placed upon the Bank’s common stock investment in the Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB, these securities have been classified as restricted equity securities and carried at cost.  These restricted securities are not subject to the investment security classifications and are included as a separate line item on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  At March 31, 2015, the FHLB required the Bank to maintain stock in an amount equal to 4.25% of outstanding borrowings and a specific percentage of the Bank’s total assets.  At December 31, 2014, the FHLB required the Bank to maintain stock in an amount equal to 4.5% of outstanding borrowings and a specific percentage of the Bank’s total assets.    The Federal Reserve Bank required the Bank to maintain stock with a par value equal to 6% of its outstanding capital at both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Restricted equity securities consist of Federal Reserve Bank stock in the amount of $23.8 million for both March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and FHLB stock in the amount of $29.3 million and $31.0 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
	The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value (in thousands) of the Company’s investments with unrealized losses that are not deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.  These are aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

	As of March 31, 2015, there were $69.0 million, or 30 issues, of individual securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months.  Additionally, these securities had an unrealized loss of $820,000 and consisted of municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate bonds.  As of December 31, 2014, there were $96.4 million, or 60 issues, of individual securities that had been in a continuous loss position for more than 12 months.  Additionally, these securities had an unrealized loss of $1.1 million and consisted of municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, and other securities.  The Company has determined that these securities are temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 for the reasons set out below:
	U.S. Government agencies and corporations. The unrealized losses in this category of investments were caused by interest rate fluctuations. The contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of each investment.  Because the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments and the accounting standard of “more likely than not” has not been met for the Company to be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
	Mortgage-backed securities. This category’s unrealized losses are primarily the result of interest rate fluctuations.  Since the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, the Company does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.  Also, the majority of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities are agency securities, which have a government guarantee.
	State and political subdivisions. This category’s unrealized losses are primarily the result of interest rate fluctuations and also a certain few ratings downgrades brought about by the impact of the economic downturn on states and political subdivisions. The contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of each investment.  Because the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments and the accounting standard of “more likely than not” has not been met for the Company to be required to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
	Corporate debt securities. The Company’s unrealized losses in corporate debt securities are related to both interest rate fluctuations and ratings downgrades for a limited number of securities. The majority of the securities remain investment grade and the Company’s analysis did not indicate the existence of a credit loss.  The contractual terms of the investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the cost basis of each investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell any of the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
	During each quarter, the Company conducts an assessment of the securities portfolio for OTTI consideration.  The assessment considers factors such as external credit ratings, delinquency coverage ratios, market price, management’s judgment, expectations of future performance, and relevant industry research and analysis.  An impairment is other-than-temporary if any of the following conditions exist: the entity intends to sell the security; it is more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or the entity does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell).  If a credit loss exists, but an entity does not intend to sell the impaired debt security and is not more likely than not to be required to sell before recovery, the impairment is other-than-temporary and should be separated into a credit portion to be recognized in earnings and the remaining amount relating to all other factors recognized as other comprehensive loss.  Based on the assessment for the quarter ended March  31, 2015, and in accordance with the guidance, no OTTI was recognized.
	The following table presents the amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, by contractual maturity (dollars in thousands).  Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company considers TDRs to be impaired loans. A modification of a loan’s terms constitutes a TDR if the creditor grants a concession that it would not otherwise consider to the borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties.  TDRs totaled $24.1 million and  $26.8 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  All loans that are considered to be TDRs are evaluated for impairment in accordance with the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology and are included in the preceding impaired loan tables.  For the quarter ended March  31, 2015, the recorded investment in restructured loans prior to modifications was not materially impacted by the modification.
The following table provides a summary, by class, of modified loans that continue to accrue interest under the terms of the restructuring agreement, which are considered to be performing, and modified loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status, which are considered to be nonperforming, as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

The Company uses the past due status and delinquency trends as the primary credit quality indicator for the consumer loan portfolio segment while a risk rating system is utilized for commercial loans.  Commercial loans are graded on a scale of 1 through 9.  A general description of the characteristics of the risk grades follows:
	·		Risk rated 1 loans have little or no risk and are generally secured by cash or cash equivalents;
	·		Risk rated 2 loans have minimal risk to well qualified borrowers and no significant questions as to safety;
	·		Risk rated 3 loans are satisfactory loans with strong borrowers and secondary sources of repayment;
	·		Risk rated 4 loans are satisfactory loans with borrowers not as strong as risk rated 3 loans and may exhibit a greater degree of financial risk based on the type of business supporting the loan;
	·		Risk rated 5 loans are watch loans that warrant more than the normal level of supervision and have the possibility of an event occurring that may weaken the borrower’s ability to repay;
	·		Risk rated 6 loans have increasing potential weaknesses beyond those at which the loan originally was granted and if not addressed could lead to inadequately protecting the Company’s credit position;
	·		Risk rated 7 loans are substandard loans and are inadequately protected by the current sound worth or paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged; these have well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt with the distinct possibility the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected;
	·		Risk rated 8 loans are doubtful of collection and the possibility of loss is high but pending specific borrower plans for recovery, its classification as a loss is deferred until its more exact status is determined; and
	·		Risk rated 9 loans are loss loans which are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS [Abstract]
INTANGIBLE ASSETS	5.INTANGIBLE ASSETS
	The Company’s intangible assets consist of core deposits and goodwill arising from previous acquisitions.  The Company has determined that core deposit intangibles have a finite life and amortizes them over their estimated useful life.    Core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 4 to 14 years, using an accelerated method.  On January 1, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of StellarOne and acquired intangible assets of $29.6 million and recorded $234.1 million of goodwill.
	In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other, the Company reviews the carrying value of indefinite lived intangible assets at least annually or more frequently if certain impairment indicators exist.  The Company performed its annual impairment testing in the second quarter of 2014 and determined that there was no impairment to its goodwill or intangible assets. Subsequently, the Company determined that an additional evaluation was necessary at year-end due to potential indicators based on the net losses recorded at the mortgage company during 2014. Based on this additional testing, the Company confirmed that no impairment charges to date for goodwill or intangible assets were necessary.
	Information concerning intangible assets with a finite life is presented in the following table (dollars in thousands):
		Gross Carrying Value		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Value
	31-Mar-15
	Amortizable core deposit intangibles	$	76,185	$	46,652	$	29,533

	31-Mar-14
	Amortizable core deposit intangibles	$	76,185	$	37,250	$	38,935
	Amortization expense of core deposit intangibles for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and for the year ended December 31, 2014 totaled $2.2 million, $2.6 million, and $9.8 million, respectively.  As of March 31, 2015, the estimated remaining amortization expense of core deposit intangibles is as follows (dollars in thousands):
	For the remaining nine months of 2015	$	6,221
	For the year ending December 31, 2016		6,932

Total short-term borrowings consist primarily of advances from the FHLB, federal funds purchased (which are secured overnight borrowings from other financial institutions), and other lines of credit. Also included in total short-term borrowings are securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which are secured transactions with customers and generally mature the day following the date sold. The market value of securities pledged as collateral for customer repurchase agreements totaled $53.7 million and $51.8 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Total short-term borrowings consist of the following as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

	The Bank maintains federal funds lines with several correspondent banks; the remaining available balance was $175.0 million and $150.0 million at March  31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  The Company has certain restrictive covenants related to certain asset quality, capital, and profitability metrics associated with these lines and is considered to be in compliance with these covenants.  Additionally, the Company had a collateral dependent line of credit with the FHLB of up to $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at March  31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
	Long-term Borrowings
	In connection with two bank acquisitions prior to 2006, the Company issued trust preferred capital notes to fund the cash portion of those acquisitions, collectively totaling $58.5 million.  In connection with the acquisition of StellarOne, the Company acquired trust preferred capital notes totaling $32.0 million with a remaining fair value discount of $7.2 million at March 31, 2015.  The trust preferred capital notes currently qualify for Tier 1 capital of the Company for regulatory purposes.

	(1) reported as “Other Assets” within the Consolidated Balance Sheets
	As part of a prior acquisition, the Company assumed subordinated debt with terms of LIBOR plus 1.45%  and a maturity date of April 2016.  At March  31, 2015, the carrying value of the subordinated debt was $17.5 million, with a remaining fair value discount of $530,000.
	On August 23, 2012, the Company modified its fixed rate FHLB advances to floating rate advances,  which resulted in reducing the Company’s FHLB borrowing costs.  In connection with this modification, the Company incurred a prepayment penalty of $19.6 million on the original advances, which is included as a component of long-term borrowings in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  In accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company will amortize this prepayment penalty over the term of the modified advances using the effective rate method.  The amortization expense is included as a component of interest expense on long-term borrowings in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.  Amortization expense for the three months ended March  31, 2015 and 2014 was $447,000 and $436,000, respectively.
	In connection with the StellarOne acquisition, the Company assumed $70.0 million in long-term borrowings with the FHLB that had a remaining fair value premium of $1.9 million at March 31, 2015.

	Litigation Matters
	In the ordinary course of its operations, the Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings.  Based on the information presently available, and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes that the ultimate outcome in such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations of the Company.
	Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
	The Company 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 and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The contractual amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.
	The Company’s 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 written is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.  Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk.  The Company considers credit losses related to off-balance sheet commitments by undergoing a similar process in evaluating losses for loans that are carried on balance sheet.  The Company considers historical loss rates, current economic conditions, risk ratings, and past due status amongst other factors in the consideration of whether credit losses are inherent in the Company’s off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit.  The Company does not expect that credit losses arising from off-balance sheet commitments to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the contracts.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Because many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
	Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of customers to third parties.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.
	UMG, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, uses rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts during the origination process and for loans held for sale.  These best efforts contracts are designed to mitigate UMG’s exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with rate lock commitments and loans held for sale.  The Company held approximately $2.7 million and $2.6 million in loans available for sale in which the related rate lock commitment had expired as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the reserves associated with these loans held for sale were $102,000 and $104,000, respectively, and are reflected on the balance sheet of the mortgage segment.
	The following table presents the balances of commitments and contingencies (dollars in thousands):
		March 31,		December 31,

	(1) Includes unfunded overdraft protection.
	The Company must maintain a reserve against its deposits in accordance with Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Act.  For the final weekly reporting period in the periods ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate amount of daily average required reserves was approximately $47.1 million and $48.7 million, respectively.
	The Company has approximately $18.4 million in deposits in other financial institutions, of which $5.7 million and $3.5 million serve as collateral for the trust swaps and loan swaps, respectively, as discussed in Note 8 “Derivatives”.  The Company had approximately $8.3 million in deposits in other financial institutions that were uninsured at March 31, 2015.  On an annual basis, the Company’s management evaluates the loss risk of its uninsured deposits in financial counter-parties.
	For asset/liability management purposes, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge various exposures or to modify the interest rate characteristics of various balance sheet accounts.  See Note 8 “Derivatives” for additional information.
	In the ordinary course of business, the Company records an indemnification reserve relating to mortgage loans previously sold based on historical statistics and loss rates; as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s indemnification reserve for such mortgage loans was $687,000 and $662,000, respectively.

DERIVATIVES [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES
	8.DERIVATIVES
	The Company is exposed to economic risks arising from its business operations and uses derivatives primarily to manage risk associated with changing interest rates, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives.  The Company designates its derivatives either as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship (cash flow or fair value hedge) or as a free standing derivative such as interest rate lock commitments that do not qualify for hedge accounting.  The Company uses interest rate derivatives to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest income and expense. The Company also enters into back-to-back loan swaps to assist customers in managing changing interest rates.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	As part of its cash flow hedging strategy, the Company uses interest rate swap agreements to limit the variability of expected future cash flows (primarily associated with the Company’s variable rate borrowings) by exchanging a notional amount, equal to the principal amount of the borrowings, for fixed-rate interest based on benchmarked interest rates.  As of March 31, 2015, the Company had 11 interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $263.0 million.
	The Company has entered into three interest rate swap agreements (the “trust swaps”) to mitigate the variable interest rate risk related to the trust preferred capital notes further described in Note 6 “Borrowings.”  The Company receives interest of LIBOR from a counterparty and pays a weighted average fixed rate of 2.77% to the same counterparty calculated on a notional amount of $68.0 million.  The original terms of the trust swaps range from three to six years.
	The Company has entered into four interest rate swap agreements (the “prime loan swaps”) to mitigate the variable interest rate risks of certain prime commercial loans.  The Company receives a fixed interest rate ranging from 4.71% to 5.20% from the counterparty and pays interest based on the Wall Street Journal prime index, with a spread of up to 0.49%, to the same counterparty calculated on a notional amount of $55.0 million.  One of the four prime loan swaps contains a floor rate of 4.00%.  The original terms of the four prime loan swaps is six years with a fixed rate that started September 17, 2013.
	The Company has entered into four interest rate swap agreements (“FHLB advance swaps”) to mitigate variable interest rate risk on certain designated variable rate FHLB borrowings. The Company receives an interest rate based on the three month LIBOR from the counterparty and pays an interest rate ranging from 3.16% to 3.46% to the same counterparty calculated on a notional amount of $140.0 million.  The FHLB advance swaps are deferred starting swaps with terms of six years and five years and effective dates of February 23, 2017 and February 23, 2018, respectively.
	All swaps were entered into with counterparties that met the Company’s credit standards and the agreements contain collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party.  The Company believes that the credit risk inherent in the contract is not significant.  As of March  31, 2015, the Company had $5.7 million of cash pledged as collateral for the trust swaps and securities with a market value of $4.7 million pledged as collateral for the prime loan swaps and FHLB advance swaps.
	Amounts receivable or payable are recognized as accrued under the terms of the agreements.  In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company has designated the trust swaps, prime loan swaps, and FHLB advance swaps as cash flow hedges, with the effective portions of the derivatives’ unrealized gains or losses recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.  The ineffective portions of the unrealized gains or losses, if any, would be recorded in interest income and interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.  The Company has assessed the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the hedging instrument.  Based on the Company’s assessment, its cash flow hedges are highly effective.  At March 31, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedges was a net unrealized loss of $9.7 million, the amount the Company would have expected to pay if the contracts were terminated.
	Shown below is a summary of the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):
			Notional						Receive		Pay		Life

	(1) Due to their deferred nature, the rates and the life exclude the four FHLB advance swaps.
	Fair Value Hedge
	During the normal course of business, the Company enters into interest rate swaps to convert certain long-term fixed-rate loans to floating rates to hedge the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk.  The Company applies hedge accounting in accordance with ASC 815, and the fair value hedge and the underlying hedged item, attributable to the risk being hedged, are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses being recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.  The ineffective portions of the unrealized gains or losses, if any, would be recorded in interest income and interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.  The Company uses statistical regression analysis to assess hedge effectiveness, both at inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis.  The regression analysis involves regressing the periodic change in fair value of the hedging instrument against the periodic changes in fair value of the asset being hedged due to changes in the hedged risk.
	On December 30, 2014, the Company entered into a swap, constituting a fair value hedge, whereby the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 3.42% to the counterparty and receives interest of one month LIBOR plus 1.93% from the same counterparty calculated on a notional amount of $38.3 million with a term of 15 years.  At March 31, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s fair value hedge was an unrealized loss of $1.3 million, the amount the Company would have expected to pay if the contract was terminated; the liability is reported in “Other Liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  At March 31, 2015, the notional amount of the hedged item was $38.3 million with a fair value of $1.2 million.  The fair value hedge had no material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Loan Swaps
	During the normal course of business, the Company enters into interest rate swap loan relationships (“loan swaps”) with borrowers to meet their financing needs.  Upon entering into the loan swaps, the Company enters into offsetting positions with counterparties in order to minimize interest rate risk.  These back-to-back loan swaps qualify as financial derivatives with fair values as reported in “Other Assets” and “Other Liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of March  31, 2015, the Company had cash and securities with a market value of $6.7 million pledged as collateral for the loan swaps.
	Shown below is a summary regarding loan swap derivative activities at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):
			Notional						Receive		Pay		Life
		Positions	Amount		Asset		Liability		Rate		Rate		(Years)
	As of March 31, 2015

	Pay fixed - receive floating interest rate swaps	30	$	122,793	$	-	$	2,681	2.50%		4.29%		7.14
	Interest Rate Lock Commitments
	During the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding (“rate lock commitments”).  Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives.  The period of time between issuance of a loan commitment, closing, and sale of the loan generally ranges from 30 to 120 days.  The Company protects itself from changes in interest rates through the use of best efforts forward delivery commitments, whereby the Company commits to sell a loan at the time the borrower commits to an interest rate with the intent that the buyer has assumed interest rate risk on the loan.  The correlation between the rate lock commitments and the best efforts contracts is high due to their similarity.
	The market values of rate lock commitments and best efforts forward delivery commitments is not readily ascertainable with precision because rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts are not actively traded in stand-alone markets.  The Company determines the fair value of rate lock commitments and best efforts contracts by measuring the change in the value of the underlying asset while taking into consideration the probability that the rate lock commitments will close.  The fair value of the rate lock commitments as of March 31, 2015 was $1.3 million and is reported as a component of “Other Assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets; the fair value of the Company’s best efforts forward delivery commitments was $367,000 and is recorded as a component of “Other Liabilities” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any impact to income is recorded in current period earnings as a component of “Gain on sale of mortgage loans, net of commissions” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.  At March 31, 2015, the aggregate notional amount of these derivatives was $80.2 million.

FAIR_VALUE_MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	3 Months Ended

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	10.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,  to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  This codification clarifies that fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants.
	ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.  Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 based on these two types of inputs are as follows:
		Level 1		Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
		Level 2		Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the markets.
		Level 3		Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market. These unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about what market participants would use and information that is reasonably available under the circumstances without undue cost and effort.
	The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the financial statements.
	Derivative instruments
	As discussed in Note 8 “Derivatives”, the Company records derivative instruments at fair value on a recurring basis.  The Company utilizes derivative instruments as part of the management of interest rate risk to modify the re-pricing characteristics of certain portions of the Company’s interest-bearing assets and liabilities.  The Company has contracted with a third party vendor to provide valuations for derivatives using standard valuation techniques and therefore classifies such valuations as Level 2.  Third party valuations are validated by the Company using Bloomberg Valuation Service’s derivative pricing functions.  The Company has considered counterparty credit risk in the valuation of its derivative assets and has considered its own credit risk in the valuation of its derivative liabilities.
	During the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments related to the origination of mortgage loans held for sale as well as best effort forward delivery commitments to mitigate interest rate risk; these instruments are recorded at estimated fair value based on the value of the underlying loan, which in turn is based on quoted prices for similar loans in the secondary market.  However, this value is adjusted by a pull-through rate which considers the likelihood that the loan in a lock position will ultimately close.  The pull-through rate is derived from the Company’s internal data and is adjusted using significant management judgment.  The pull-through rate is largely dependent on the loan processing stage that a loan is currently in and the change in prevailing interest rates from the time of the rate lock.  As such, interest rate lock commitments are classified as Level 3.  An increase in the pull-through rate utilized in the fair value measurement of the interest rate lock commitment derivative will result in positive fair value adjustments while a decrease in the pull-through rate will result in a negative fair value adjustment. The Company’s weighted average pull-through rate was approximately 80% as of March 31, 2015 and approximately 90% as of December 31, 2014.  As of March  31, 2015, the interest rate lock commitments are recorded as a component of “Other Assets”  and the best effort forward delivery commitments are recorded as a component of “Other Liabilities” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Securities available for sale
	Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1).  If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data (Level 2).  If the inputs used to provide the evaluation for certain securities are unobservable and/or there is little, if any, market activity, then the security would fall to the lowest level of the hierarchy (Level 3).
	The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily valued using fair value measurements that are considered to be Level 2.  The Company has contracted with a third party portfolio accounting service vendor for valuation of its securities portfolio.  The vendor’s primary source for security valuation is Interactive Data Corporation (“IDC”), which evaluates securities based on market data.  IDC utilizes evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information.  Generally, the methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.
	The vendor utilizes proprietary valuation matrices for valuing all municipals securities.  The initial curves for determining the price, movement, and yield relationships within the municipal matrices are derived from industry benchmark curves or sourced from a municipal trading desk.  The securities are further broken down according to issuer, credit support, state of issuance, and rating to incorporate additional spreads to the industry benchmark curves.
	The Company uses Bloomberg Valuation Service, an independent information source that draws on quantitative models and market data contributed from over 4,000 market participants, to validate third party valuations.  Any material differences between valuation sources are researched by further analyzing the various inputs that are utilized by each pricing source.  No material differences were identified during the validation as of March  31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
	The carrying value of restricted Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of each entity and is therefore excluded from the following table.
	The following table presents the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

	Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
	The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the financial statements.
	Loans held for sale
	Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value.  These loans currently consist of residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market.  Fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2).  As such, the Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis.  Nonrecurring fair value adjustments of $17,000 and $44,000 were recorded on loans held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Gains and losses on the sale of loans are recorded within the mortgage segment and are reported on a separate line item in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Impaired loans
	Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreements will not be collected.  The measurement of loss associated with impaired loans can be based on either the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral.  Collateral dependent loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is solely from the underlying value of the collateral.  Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the Company’s collateral is real estate.  The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an income or market valuation approach based on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser using observable market data.  When evaluating the fair value, management may discount the appraisal further if, based on their understanding of the market conditions, it is determined the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value (Level 3).  The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal, of one year or less, if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’s financial statements if not considered significant using observable market data.  Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivables collateral are based on financial statement balances or aging reports (Level 3).  Collateral dependent impaired loans allocated to the allowance for loan losses are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Other real estate owned
	OREO is evaluated for impairment at least quarterly by the Bank’s Special Asset Loan Committee and any necessary write downs to fair values are recorded as impairment and included as a component of noninterest expense.  Fair values of OREO are carried at fair value less selling costs.  Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral, or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.  When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as Level 3 valuation.
	Total valuation expenses related to OREO properties for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 totaled $590,000 and $256,000, respectively.
	The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments for interim periods and excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
Cash and cash equivalents
For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Loans
The fair value of performing loans is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a yield curve that is constructed by adding a loan spread to a market yield curve.  Loan spreads are based on spreads currently observed in the market for loans of similar type and structure.  Fair value for impaired loans and their respective level within the fair value hierarchy, are described in the previous disclosure related to fair value measurements of assets that are measured on a nonrecurring basis.
Bank owned life insurance
The carrying value of bank owned life insurance approximates fair value.  The Company records these policies at their cash surrender value, which is estimated using information provided by insurance carriers.
Deposits
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowings
The carrying value of the Company’s repurchase agreements is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  Other borrowings are discounted using the current yield curve for the same type of borrowing.  For borrowings with embedded optionality, a third party source is used to value the instrument. The Company validates all third party valuations for borrowings with optionality using Bloomberg’s derivative pricing functions.
Accrued interest
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit
The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.  At March  31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit was immaterial.

The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations.  As a result, the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may be either favorable or unfavorable to the Company.  Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk.  However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment.  Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment.  Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Company’s overall interest rate risk.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	11.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	The Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) provides for the granting of stock-based awards to key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in the form of: (i) incentive stock options intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“incentive stock options”); (ii) non-qualified stock options; (iii) restricted stock, and (iv) other stock-based awards.  The Company issues new shares to satisfy stock-based awards, and the option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date.  A stock option’s maximum term is ten years from the date of grant.  No stock options have been granted since February 2012, and restricted stock and other stock-based awards typically vest in varying annual installments over a three to five year vesting schedule.  The 2011 Plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors with an effective date of January 1, 2011, subject to shareholder approval that was received at the annual meeting of shareholders held on April 26, 2011.
	Based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, on January 29, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the Union Bankshares Corporation Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated SIP”), which amends and restates the 2011 Plan.  The Amended and Restated SIP was approved by the Company’s shareholders and became effective on April 21, 2015.  The Amended and Restated SIP amends the 2011 Plan to, among other things, increase the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable under the plan from 1,000,000 to 2,500,000 and add non-employee directors of the Company and certain subsidiaries, as well as regional advisory boards, as potential participants in the plan.
	The following table summarizes the shares granted and available in the 2011 Plan as of March 31, 2015; there were no shares granted or available under the Amended and Restated SIP as of March 31, 2015 because the Amended and Restated SIP was not effective as of such date.

	Granted	-600,641
	Remaining available for grant	399,359
	For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense (included in salaries and benefits expense) of approximately $390,000 and $374,000 ($281,000 and $270,000 net of tax), respectively. Stock-based compensation expense represents approximately $0.01 per common share for both the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
	Stock Options
	The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2015:
		Number of Stock Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price
	Options outstanding, December 31, 2014	389,269		$	16.69
	Exercised	-7,686			17.72

	Options exercisable,  March 31, 2015	263,890			17.47
	The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.  The model uses variables which include the historical dividend yield of the Company’s common stock, the average contractual life and vesting schedule of the option, the historic volatility of the Company’s common stock price, and the risk-free interest rate at the time the option was granted.  Other than options that were assumed and converted upon completion of the StellarOne merger, the Company has not granted incentive compensation in the form of options since February 2012.
	The following table summarizes information concerning stock options issued to the Company’s employees that are vested or are expected to vest and stock options exercisable as of March 31, 2015:
		Stock Options Vested or Expected to Vest			Exercisable
	Stock options (number of shares)		368,361			263,890
	Weighted average remaining contractual life in years		5.08			4.62
	Weighted average exercise price on shares above water	$	14.36		$	14.63
	Aggregate intrinsic value	$	2,471,164		$	1,594,675
	Restricted Stock
	The 2011 Plan permits the granting of restricted stock awards but is limited to one-third of the aggregate number of total awards granted.  This equity component of compensation is divided between restricted (time-based) stock grants and performance-based stock grants.  Generally, the restricted stock vests 50% on each of the third and fourth anniversaries from the date of the grant.  The performance-based stock is subject to vesting based on achieving certain performance metrics; the grant of performance-based stock is subject to approval by the Company’s Compensation Committee at its sole discretion.  The value of the restricted stock awards was calculated by multiplying the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on grant date by the number of shares awarded.  Employees have the right to vote the shares and to receive cash or stock dividends (restricted stock), if any, except for the nonvested stock under the performance-based component (performance stock). Nonvested shares of restricted stock are included in the computation of basic earnings per share. The following table summarizes the restricted stock activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2015:

	Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding attributable to stock awards.
	There were approximately 159,460 and 212,306 shares underlying anti-dilutive awards for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Anti-dilutive awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

SEGMENT REPORTING DISCLOSURES [Abstract]
SEGMENT REPORTING DISCLOSURES	13.SEGMENT REPORTING DISCLOSURES
	The Company has two reportable segments: a traditional full service community bank segment and a mortgage loan origination business segment. The community bank segment includes one subsidiary bank, the Bank, which provides loan, deposit, investment, and trust services to retail and commercial customers throughout its 131 retail locations in Virginia.  The mortgage segment includes UMG, which provides a variety of mortgage loan products principally in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Maryland, and the Washington D.C. metro area.  These loans are originated and sold primarily in the secondary market through purchase commitments from investors, which serves to mitigate the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk.
	Profit and loss is measured by net income after taxes including realized gains and losses on the Company’s investment portfolio.  The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.  Inter-segment transactions are recorded at cost and eliminated as part of the consolidation process.
	Both of the Company’s reportable segments are service-based.  The mortgage business is a fee-based business while the bank is driven principally by net interest income.  The bank segment provides a distribution and referral network through its customers for the mortgage loan origination business.  The mortgage segment offers a more limited referral network for the bank segment.
	The community bank segment provides the mortgage segment with the short-term funds needed to originate mortgage loans through a warehouse line of credit and charges the mortgage banking segment interest at the three month LIBOR rate plus 0.15% with no floor, effective January 1, 2015.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the interest rate on the warehouse line of credit was the three month LIBOR rate plus 1.5% with a floor of 2.0%.     These transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process.  A management fee for operations and administrative support services is charged to all subsidiaries and eliminated in the consolidated totals.

	In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.”  The amendments in this ASU eliminate from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, required that an entity separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events and transactions.  Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of the reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item.  If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show the item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity also is required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.”  The amendments in this ASU amend the consolidation requirements in ASC 810, Consolidation, and significantly change the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP.  Under this guidance, limited partnerships will be considered variable interest entities (“VIEs”) unless the limited partners have either substantive kick-out or participating rights; this amendment will result in more partnerships being considered VIEs, but it will be less likely that a general partner will consolidate a limited partnership.  The amendments also change the effect that fees paid to a decision maker or service provider have on the consolidation analysis; it is less likely that the fees themselves will be considered a variable interest, that an entity will be a VIE, or that consolidation will result.  The changes modify how a reporting entity considers how its variable interests affect its consolidation process; the related party tiebreaker test and mandatory consolidation by one of the related parties will have to be performed less frequently than under current U.S. GAAP.  For entities other than limited partnerships, the amendments clarify how to determine whether the equity holders have power over the entity and could affect whether the entity is a VIE.  The amendments are expected to result in the deconsolidation of many entities.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.  The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2015-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.”  The ASU does not change the existing recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs but requires that debt issuance costs related to a debt liability recorded on the balance sheet be present in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability.  The amendments should be disclosed consistent with the disclosure requirement of a change in accounting principle and applied on a retrospective basis.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
