Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2008

 

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (“SNBV”) is a corporation formed on July 28, 2004 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is the holding company for Sonabank, N. A. (“Sonabank”) a national bank chartered on April 14, 2005, under the laws of the United States of America. The principal activities of Sonabank are to attract deposits and originate loans as permitted for federally chartered national banks under the laws of the United States of America. Sonabank conducts full-service banking operations in Charlottesville, Clifton Forge, Leesburg, Warrenton and Fairfax County in Virginia.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and its subsidiary. Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U. S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions for Form 10-Q and follow general practice within the banking industry. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U. S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in SNBV’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Use of Estimates

To prepare financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, loan servicing rights, and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Reclassifications

Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157). This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of

Table of Contents

FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was the addition of Footnote 9 required for disclosure about fair value measurements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (FAS 159). The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. We did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008, the effective date of the standard.

In September 2006, the EITF finalized Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements.” This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Our adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

2. STOCK- BASED COMPENSATION

In 2004, the Board of Directors adopted a stock options 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 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 SNBV and to assist in the attracting and retaining of non-employee directors by affording them an opportunity to share in SNBV’s future success. Under the plans, the options 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.

SNBV accounts for the plan under the fair value method of FASB Statement No 123 Revised (“SFAS 123R”), “Share Based Payment,” which was adopted January 1, 2006. In 2005 the plan was measured under the intrinsic value method. Prior to 2006, 168,025 options were granted under the plan. No stock-based compensation cost was reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. In addition, all options granted prior to 2006 were fully vested as of December 31, 2005.

SNBV granted 44,500 options during the first quarter of 2008. 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 three months ended March 31, 2008:

Table of Contents

Dividend yield

     0.00 %

Expected life

     10 years  

Expected volatility

     19.17 %

Risk-free interest rate

     3.51 %

Weighted average fair value per option granted

   $ 3.51  

 

   

We have paid no dividends.

 

   

Due to SNBV’s short existence, the volatility was estimated using historical volatility of comparative publicly traded financial institutions in the Virginia market for periods approximating the expected option life.

 

   

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.

SFAS 123R requires the recognition of stock-based compensation expense for the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, stock-based compensation expense recorded was $7 thousand and $1 thousand, respectively. As of March 31, 2008, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the stock options was $168 thousand which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.7 years.

SNBV monitors the portfolio which is subject to liquidity needs, market rate changes and credit risk changes to see if adjustments are needed. There are 11 securities with stated maturities totaling approximately $24.3 million and one security with no stated maturity in the amount of $1.5 million in the portfolio that are considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2008. Management has concluded that these losses are not significant individually, or in the aggregate; the fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or market conditions improve, and management has the positive intent and ability to hold to recovery. The following tables present information regarding securities in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (in thousands) by duration of time in a loss position:

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

SNBV 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 SNBV 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 $1.9 million and $1.2 million as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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 it does 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 March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $51.3 million and $54.5 million, respectively. Our approved loan commitments were $13.3 million and $10.8 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

8. FAIR VALUE

FAS 157 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) or 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

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

Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs. For these securities, we obtain fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include quoted prices on similar prices in active markets, quoted prices on actual assets that are not active, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds and other market data.

9. WARRANTS

As part of the purchase price of the fixed assets related to the Leesburg branch, SNBV issued 61,000 warrants for the purchase of its common stock at an exercise price of $12.73 per share during the first quarter of 2008. The warrants expire in three years. The fair value of each warrant issued was estimated using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value the warrants:

OVERVIEW

Sonabank commenced operations in April 2005, and we had our first profitable quarter in the period ended December 31, 2005.

In December 2005, we closed on the purchase of a branch in Clifton Forge where we acquired $42.5 million in deposits, $7.1 million in loans and $2.4 million in retail repurchase agreements as well as the branch banking center and other assets in the amount of $2.2 million. As part of the purchase price allocation, Sonabank recorded $3.1 million in core deposit intangibles. The core deposit intangible assets are being amortized over 7 years.

On November 6, 2006, SNBV closed on the initial public offering of its common stock, $0.01 par value. All 2,000,000 shares of common stock registered in the offering, including 214,000 shares of common stock covered by an over- allotment option granted to the underwriter, were sold at a price to the public of $14.00 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds from the shares of common stock sold by SNBV were $28.0 million. The aggregate net proceeds to SNBV from the offering were approximately $26.4 million after deducting an aggregate of $866 thousand in underwriting commissions and $713 thousand in other expenses incurred in connection with the offering.

SNBV contributed most of the net proceeds of this offering to Sonabank to provide capital to support its internal asset growth as well as the asset growth expected to result from the three branches acquired in the merger with 1st Service. We also opened a new branch in Warrenton, Virginia, in April 2007, which should generate additional growth, requiring additional capital.

Table of Contents

As of the close of business on December 1, 2006, we completed the acquisition of 1st Service Bank, which operated three branch offices in Fairfax County, Virginia. 1st Service Bank transactions have been included in our financial results since December 1, 2006. The fair value of the assets acquired as of December 1, 2006 were approximately $118.0 million including $107.1 million in loans, of which approximately $17 million were securitized by the end of December 2006, and reflected on the balance sheet as investment securities. We also acquired approximately $78.9 million in deposits. We also recorded $2.1 million in core deposit intangibles, and goodwill totaled approximately $8.7 million as adjusted. The core deposit intangible asset for this acquisition is being amortized over 7 years.

On December 19th, 2007, SNBV announced that it had entered into an agreement with Founders Corporation of Leesburg, Virginia to purchase certain assets and to assume its lease at 1 East Market Street in Leesburg in the 100 year old Loudoun National Bank building. Sonabank received approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to open a branch at that location. The branch was opened February 11, 2008. The OCC has also approved the opening of a drive-through/ATM facility that was opened on April 7, 2008. The Board of Directors of Founders Corp and certain other investors in Founders Corp have become the members of Sonabank’s new Leesburg Advisory Board.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our net income was $501 thousand, or $0.07 per share on a diluted basis, compared to net income of $474 thousand, or $0.07 per share on a diluted basis, for the same period in 2007, an increase of 6%. Income before taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $677 thousand compared to $474 thousand during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, an increase of 43%, as we had a valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax assets up to the value of the current tax expense in the first quarter of 2007.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007, net income increased $354 thousand from $147 thousand to $501 thousand. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, increased from $0.02 per share to $0.07 per share. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 included an other than temporary impairment charge of $290 thousand, net of taxes.

Net Interest Income

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income on interest-earning assets such as loans and investments, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $2.9 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period last year. Average interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $86.0 million over the same period in 2007. Approximately $64.7 million of this growth was an increase in average loans outstanding. Average investment securities increased by $20.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to the same period last year. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 7.37% in 2007 to 6.92% in 2008 primarily because of the prime rate decreases of 200 basis points during the first quarter of 2008 which accompanied the Federal Reserve Board’s reductions in its federal funds target rate. Average

Table of Contents

interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $97.1 million compared to the same period in 2007. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $60.4 million, while average borrowings increased by $36.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2007. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 4.78% in 2007 to 4.29% in 2008. The interest rate spread for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased slightly from 2.59% to 2.63% compared to the same period last year. The net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased to 3.28% from 3.75% compared to the same period last year.

Our commercial loans, acquisition and development loans, construction loans and SBA loans are predominately priced to a spread over the prime rate. Commercial real estate loans are generally priced at a spread over the one, three or five year constant maturity treasury yield (CMT) or our marginal cost of funds and fixed for three to five years. On the liability side of the balance sheet we have a large segment of our funding which floats; however, the prime rate loans reprice virtually immediately, but the liabilities reprice only at maturity resulting in a lag which can adversely affect net interest income and the net interest margin when interest rates decline. The decreases in the federal funds target rate during the second half of 2007 and the first quarter of 2008 have had a negative impact on our net interest margin in the first quarter of 2008.

The following table details average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the amount of interest earned/paid on such assets and liabilities, and the yield/rate for the periods indicated:

Provision for Loan Losses

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

The provision for loan losses charged to operations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $140 thousand and $250 thousand, respectively. We had charge-offs totaling $445 thousand and $100 thousand during the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We had recoveries totaling $685 thousand during the first quarter of 2008 and there were none during the same period last year.

Noninterest Income

The following table presents the major categories on noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007:

     2008     2007    Change

Account maintenance and deposit service fees

   $ 116     $ 74    $ 42

Total noninterest income

   $ 146     $ 141    $ 5  
                       

The increase in noninterest income was largely attributable to two factors. First, account maintenance and deposit service fees increased reflecting the impact of the increased number of accounts. Second, we purchased a bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policy during the first quarter of 2007, and we purchased a second policy in July 2007. During the first quarter of 2008, we had a write-down on other real estate owned (OREO) in the amount of $200 thousand which was offset by a gain of $25 thousand on the sale of OREO.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense

   $ 2,212    $ 1,883    $ 329
                    

The increase in noninterest expense is due to a full quarter of expense related to the Warrenton branch which was opened in April 2007, and two months of expenses related to the Leesburg branch which was opened in February 2008. As of March 31, 2008, we had seven full-service branches compared to five at the end of March 2007.

Despite the rapid growth of the Bank’s assets and the addition of a branch in Warrenton and a loan production office in Richmond, our operating expenses were well controlled. The efficiency ratio (excluding gains and write-downs on OREO) improved to 69.04% during the first three months of 2008 from 72.23% in 2007.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Overview

Total assets were $400.5 million at March 31, 2008, as compared to $377.3 million at December 31, 2007. Our asset growth has been funded primarily by growth in deposits. Net loans grew from $257.9 million at the end of 2007 to $271.2 million at March 31, 2008. Investment securities, available for sale and held to maturity, increased slightly to $76.1 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $75.0 million at December 31, 2007.

As of March 31, 2008, total deposits were $286.4 million compared to $265.5 million as of December 31, 2007. The growth was attributable mostly to an increase in brokered certificates of deposit and noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Brokered certificates of deposit were $119.2 million at March 31, 2008, compared to $101.3 million at December 31, 2007. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased from $18.1 million at December 31, 2007, to $22.4 million at March 31, 2008.

Loan Portfolio

The commercial real estate loan category increased by 6.7%, rising from $84.1 million at year-end to $89.7 million at March 31, 2008. The other construction and land development loan category rose 13.9% to $54.0 million, and 1-4 family residential real estate loans were up 11.9% to $58.0 million. The commercial and industrial loan category decreased by 7.8% to $49.1 million.

The following table summarizes the composition of our loan portfolio as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

Asset Quality

We will generally place a loan on nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days past due. Loans will also be placed on nonaccrual status in cases where we are uncertain whether the borrower can satisfy the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Cash payments received while a loan is categorized as nonaccrual will be recorded as a reduction of principal as long as doubt exists as to future collections.

We maintain appraisals on loans secured by real estate, particularly those categorized as non-performing loans and potential problem loans. In instances where appraisals reflect reduced collateral values, we make an evaluation of the borrower’s overall financial condition to determine the need, if any, for possible write-down to their net realizable values. We record other real estate owned at the lower of our recorded investment in the loan or fair value less our estimated costs to sell.

Our loss and delinquency experience on our loan portfolio has been limited by a number of factors, including our underwriting standards and the relatively short period of time since the loans were originated. Whether our loss and delinquency experience in the area of our portfolio will increase significantly depends upon the value of the real estate securing loans and economic factors such as the overall economy of the region.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” (SFAS 114) the Bank employs systems and processes necessary to identify and revalue “impaired loans.” After charge-offs, loans identified as impaired in accordance with SFAS 114 totaled $945 thousand as of March 31, 2008 and $4.2 million at December 31, 2007. Nonaccrual loans were $483 thousand and $371 thousand at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. At March 31, 2008, there was one Small Business Administration (SBA) guaranteed loan in the amount $120 thousand past due 90 days or more and accruing interest, and there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest at December 31, 2007.

Nonperforming assets decreased from $4.0 million at December 31, 2007 to $3.8 million at March 31, 2008. We have internal loan review and a loan committee which provide on-going monitoring to identify and address issues with problem loans. We believe the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover probable incurred credit losses at March 31, 2008.

At the end of last quarter we reported that Sonabank had one residential property in OREO and two for which foreclosure was pending. The one property in OREO at year end has been sold at a small profit. One of the other properties has been foreclosed upon, and we are actively marketing the property. The foreclosure on the third property was delayed by a last minute bankruptcy filing on which the stay has been lifted.

The bulk of our OREO balance continues to be comprised of one property, which contains 33 finished 2 to 4 acre lots in Culpeper. We took a deed in lieu of foreclosure in June 2007. There are no new developments on that property. It is worth noting that those lots were originally under contract to a very large regional builder for $230,000 per lot. We have written them down to approximately 42% of that level based on new market data.

Liquidity and Funds Management

The objective of our liquidity management is to assure the ability to meet our financial obligations. These obligations include the payment of deposits on demand or at maturity, the repayment of borrowings at maturity and the ability to fund commitments and other new business opportunities. We obtain funding from a variety of sources, including customer deposit accounts, customer certificates of deposit and payments on our loans and investments. Historically, our level of core deposits has been insufficient to fully fund our lending activities. As a result, we have sought funding from additional sources, including institutional certificates of deposit and available-for-sale investment securities. In addition, we maintain lines credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and utilize securities sold under agreements to repurchase from approved securities dealers and retail customers.

We prepare a monthly cash flow report which forecasts weekly cash needs and availability for the coming three months, based on forecasts of loan closings from our pipeline report and other factors. Management anticipates that future funding requirements will be met from the normal sources of funds.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are engaged primarily in the business of investing funds obtained from deposits and borrowings into interest-earning loans and investments. Consequently, our earnings depend to a significant extent on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income on loans and other investments and the interest expense on deposits and borrowings. To the extent that our interest-bearing liabilities do not reprice or mature at the same time as our interest-earning assets, we are subject to interest rate risk and corresponding fluctuations in net interest income. We have employed asset/liability management policies that seek to manage our interest income, without having to incur unacceptable levels of credit or investment risk.

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

The following tables are based on an analysis prepared by FTN Financial setting forth an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated change in MVPE resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (plus or minus 300 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments) as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

Our interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model run by FTN Financial that generates estimates of the change in the net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios. Net interest income depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them. In this regard, the model assumes that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in MVPE requires the making of certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, although the MVPE tables and Sensitivity of Net Interest Income tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net worth and net interest income.
