This past year was a historic year for HMN Financial, Inc. We marked the ten-year

anniversary of becoming a public company, but even more significantly, we reached the

seventy-year milestone of Home Federal Savings Bank. Established in Spring Valley in

1934 by John Osterud and a group of local businessmen, Home Federal opened its doors

initially as a secure depository for customers’ savings and as a friendly, hometown place

to get a home loan. With little more than $2,500 in capital to begin with, Home Federal greatly expanded its

service offerings and has grown into a full service financial institution with $961 million in assets. We’re proud of

our heritage and grateful to all those who have made our progress possible.

The Company’s financial performance was also historic in 2004 as net income of $9.3 million, diluted earnings per

share of $2.31, and return on equity of 11.03% are all records for the Company. HMN’s stock continued to

perform well and has appreciated at an annual rate of 29% over the past five years. 

One key focus in 2004 was to replace the significant income generated from the gain on sale of mortgage loans

that was experienced because of the refinance boom in 2003 with more stable net interest income. Net interest

income increased by $6 million in 2004 and more than offset the $3.5 million decline in the gains recognized on

the sale of mortgage loans from the previous year. A significant factor in the increased net interest income was the

$105 million in growth that we experienced in our commercial and consumer loan portfolios. Net interest income

was also enhanced because the loan growth was funded with a higher percentage of less expensive transaction

deposits. The combination of loan growth and relatively less expensive depository sources led to a 19 basis point

increase in the Company’s net interest margin in 2004.

Our private banking concept, which operates as Eagle Crest Capital Bank, opened a new office in Rochester in

mid 2003. This is an offshoot of the Edina Office opened in 2002. Private banking is structured to provide a

high-touch, relationship-based banking experience to business owners, professionals and their families. We believe

there are significant opportunities to attract private banking clientele throughout our branch network, especially

in our headquarter city of Rochester.

2

While residential mortgage lending, percentage-wise, has become a smaller part of our organization, we continue

to offer a full range of home loan products. We like to keep our customers for a lifetime and home loans help us

accomplish that goal.

Management’s philosophy is to expand in growth markets. We see those growth markets in the corridor between

Rochester and St. Cloud; and, during 2004, we expanded our staff in the St. Cloud loan production office due to

increased activity.

We are committed to implementing the most efficient technologies and competitive products for the customers

and markets we serve. Our retail e-banking and commercial cash management products have been well accepted.

We recently began to offer on-line Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) which can be a potential tax saving

opportunity for qualified customers. Even with all of the modern banking practices and products, something as

simple as answering the telephone remains an important part of our customer service philosophy. We think

answering the telephone can help us grow and responding to customer requests in a reasonable timeframe is a

quality service requirement in our Company. People have become frustrated at the lack of focus on service in an

increasingly high tech world. In today’s world of identity theft and fraud, we need to know our customer and we

want them to know us, too. We want to grow but certainly not to the detriment of service.

My gratitude goes out to our customers for banking with us, and to my colleagues in the Bank’s branches, on the

management team, and on the board, whose energies and dedication were instrumental in achieving the 2004

financial results.

Sincerely,

Michael McNeil

President and CEO

future  results,  plans  or  performance.  In  addition,  the  Company’s
management  may  make  such  statements  orally  to  the  media,  or  to

other plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These
include but are not limited to possible legislative changes and adverse
economic,  business  and  competitive  developments  such  as  shrinking
interest  margins;  deposit  outflows;  reduced  demand  for  financial
services  and  loan  products;  changes  in  accounting  policies  and
guidelines, or monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government;
changes in credit and other risks posed by the Company’s loan and
investment portfolios; technological, computer-related or operational
difficulties;  adverse  changes  in  securities  markets;  results  of
litigation or other significant uncertainties.

O V E R V I E W
HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) is the stock
savings  bank  holding  company  for  Home  Federal  Savings
Bank (the Bank) which operates community retail banking
facilities and loan production offices in southern Minnesota
and  Iowa.  Eagle  Crest  Capital  Bank,  a  division  of  Home
Federal Savings Bank, provides private banking services to a
diverse  group  of  high  net  worth  customers  from  offices  in
Edina  and  Rochester,  Minnesota.  The  earnings  of  the
Company are primarily dependent on the Bank’s net interest
income, which is the difference between interest earned on
its loans and investments, and the interest paid on interest-
bearing liabilities such as deposits and Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) advances. The difference between the average
rate of interest earned on assets and the average rate paid on
liabilities is the “interest rate spread”. Net interest income is
produced  when  interest-earning  assets  equal  or  exceed
interest-bearing liabilities and there is a positive interest rate
spread. The Company’s interest rate spread has been enhanced
by the increased level of commercial loans placed in portfolio
and the increased amount of lower rate deposit products such
as checking and money market accounts. Net interest income
and net interest rate spread are affected by changes in interest
rates,  the  volume  and  mix  of  interest-earning  assets  and
interest-bearing  liabilities,  and  the  level  of  non-performing
assets.  The  Company’s  net  income  is  also  affected  by  the
generation of non-interest income, which consists primarily
of gains or losses from the sale of securities, gains from the
sale  of  loans,  fees  for  servicing  mortgage  loans,  and  the
generation  of  fees  and  service  charges  on  deposit  accounts.
The Bank incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in
the  form  of  salaries  and  benefits,  occupancy  expenses,
provisions  for  loan  losses  and  amortization  and  valuation
adjustments on mortgage servicing assets.

The earnings of financial institutions, such as the Bank,
are significantly affected by prevailing economic and competitive

conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government
monetary  and  fiscal  policies,  and  regulations  of  various
regulatory authorities. Lending activities are influenced by the
demand  for  and  supply  of  single  family  and  commercial
properties,  competition  among  lenders,  the  level  of  interest
rates and the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of
deposits are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest on
competing  investments,  account  maturities  and  the  levels  of
personal income and savings.  

C r i t i c a l   A c c o u n t i n g   P o l i c i e s
Critical accounting policies are those policies that the Company’s
management believes are the most important to understanding the
Company’s financial condition and operating results. The Company
has identified the following three policies as being critical because
they require difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments that
are  inherently  uncertain.  Therefore,  actual  financial  results  could
differ significantly depending upon the estimates used. 

Allowance for Loan Losses and Related Provision
The allowance for loan losses is based on periodic analysis of
the  loan  portfolio.  In  this  analysis,  management  considers
factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences of
loan  impairment,  changes  in  the  size  of  the  portfolios,
national  and  regional  economic  conditions  such  as
unemployment  data,  loan  portfolio  composition,  loan
delinquencies,  local  construction  permits,  development
plans, local economic growth rates, historical experience and
observations made by the Company’s ongoing internal audit
and regulatory exam processes. Loans are charged off to the
extent  they  are  deemed  to  be  uncollectible.  The  Company
has established separate processes to determine the adequacy
of the loan loss allowance for its homogeneous single-family
and  consumer  loan  portfolios  and  its  non-homogeneous
portfolios. The determination of the allowance for the non-
homogeneous  commercial,  commercial  real  estate,  and
multi-family loan portfolios involves assigning standardized
risk  ratings  and  loss  factors  that  are  periodically  reviewed.
The  loss  factors  are  estimated  using  a  combination  of  the
Company’s  own  loss  experience  and  external  industry  data
and  are  assigned  to  all  loans  without  identified  credit
weaknesses.  The  Company  also  performs  an  individual
analysis of impairment on each non-performing loan that is
based  on  the  expected  cash  flows  or  the  value  of  the  assets
collateralizing the loans. The determination of the allowance
on  the  homogeneous  single-family  and  consumer  loan
portfolios  is  calculated  on  a  pooled  basis  with  individual
determination of the allowance of all non-performing loans. 
The  adequacy  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  is
dependent  upon  management’s  estimates  of  variables
affecting  valuation,  appraisals  of  collateral,  evaluations  of
performance  and  status,  and  the  amounts  and  timing  of
future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans.
Such estimates, appraisals, evaluations and cash flows may be
subject  to  frequent  adjustments  due  to  changing  economic
prospects  of  borrowers  or  properties.  The  estimates  are
reviewed periodically and adjustments, if any, are recorded in

6

 
the  provision  for  loan  losses  in  the  periods  in  which  the
adjustments  become  known.  The  allowance  is  allocated  to
individual  loan  categories  based  upon  the  relative  risk
characteristics  of  the  loan  portfolios  and  the  actual  loss
experience.  The  Company  increases  its  allowance  for  loan
losses  by  charging  the  provision  for  loan  losses  against
income. The methodology for establishing the allowance for
loan losses takes into consideration probable losses that have
been identified in connection with specific loans as well as
losses in the loan portfolio for which specific reserves are not
required. Although management believes that the allowance
for  loan  losses  is  maintained  at  an  adequate  amount  to
provide for probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio as
of  the  balance  sheet  dates,  future  adjustments  to  the
provision for loan losses may be necessary if conditions differ
substantially  from  those  in  the  assumptions  used  to
determine the allowance for loan losses.

Mortgage Servicing Rights
The  Company  recognizes  as  an  asset  the  rights  to  service
mortgage loans for others, which are referred to as mortgage
servicing rights (MSRs). MSRs are capitalized at the relative
fair value of the servicing rights on the date the mortgage loan
is sold and are carried at the lower of the capitalized amount,
net  of  accumulated  amortization,  or  fair  value.  MSRs  are
capitalized  and  amortized  in  proportion  to,  and  over  the
period  of,  estimated  net  servicing  income.  Each  quarter  the
Company  evaluates  its  MSRs  for  impairment  in  accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
140.  Loan  type  and  interest  rate  are  the  predominant  risk
characteristics  of  the  underlying  loans  used  to  stratify  the
MSRs  for  purposes  of  measuring  impairment.  If  temporary
impairment exists, a valuation allowance is established for any
excess of amortized cost over the current fair value through a
charge to income. If the Company later determines that all or
a  portion  of  the  temporary  impairment  no  longer  exists,  a
reduction of the valuation allowance is recorded as an increase
to  income.  The  valuation  is  based  on  various  assumptions
including the estimated prepayment speeds and default rates
of the stratified portfolio. Changes in the mix of loans, interest
rates, prepayment speeds, or default rates from the estimates
used  in  the  valuation  of  the  mortgage  servicing  rights  may
have  a  material  effect  on  the  amortization  and  valuation  of
MSRs. Although management believes that the assumptions
used  and  the  values  determined  are  reasonable,  future
adjustments  may  be  necessary  if  economic  conditions  differ
substantially from the economic conditions in the assumptions
used to determine the value of the MSRs. The Company does
not  formally  hedge  its  MSRs  because  they  are  hedged
naturally by the Company’s origination volume. Generally, as
interest  rates  rise  the  origination  volume  declines  and  the
value  of  MSRs  increases  and  as  interest  rates  decline  the
origination volume increases and the value of MSRs decreases. 

Income Taxes
Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for  the
future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences

between  the  financial  statement  carrying  amounts  of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which  those  temporary  differences  are  expected  to  be
recovered  or  settled.  The  effect  on  deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the  period  that  includes  the  enactment  date.  These
calculations  are  based  on  many  complex  factors  including
estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences,
the interpretation of federal and state income tax laws, and a
determination  of  the  differences  between  the  tax  and  the
financial  reporting  basis  of  assets  and  liabilities.  Actual
results  could  differ  significantly  from  the  estimates  and
interpretations used in determining the current and deferred
income tax liabilities.

R e s u l t s   o f   O p e r a t i o n s
Net income was $9.3 million for the year ended December
31,  2004,  compared  to  $8.6  million  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2003. Diluted earnings per common share for
the year ended December 31, 2004 were $2.31, compared to
$2.16  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2003.  Return  on
average assets was 1.01% and 1.10% and return on average
equity  was  11.03%  and  10.85%  for  the  years  ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. 

In comparing the year ended December 31, 2004 to the
year ended December 31, 2003, net interest income increased
by $6.0 million primarily because of an increase in interest-
earning  assets  and  because  of  a  higher  concentration  of
commercial and consumer loans and an increase in checking
and  money  market  deposit  accounts.  Non-interest  income
decreased by $4.3 million primarily due to decreases in the
gains recognized on the sale of mortgage loans and securities.
Non-interest  expense  increased  by  $500,000  primarily
because  of  the  $1.5  million  increase  in  compensation  and
benefits costs due to increases in health insurance costs and
the number of employees. This increase was partially offset by
a  $1.1  million  decrease  in  the  amortization  of  mortgage
servicing rights that was primarily caused by a decrease in the
prepayments of mortgage loans in 2004.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2004
was $30.6 million, an increase of $6.0 million, compared to
$24.6  million  in  2003.  Interest  income  was  $51.6  million
for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $6.7
million,  from  $44.9  million  for  the  same  period  in  2003.
Interest income increased primarily because of an increase in
average interest-earning assets and because of a change in the
mix of assets between the periods. The increase in interest-
earning  assets  was  caused  primarily  by  the  $105  million
increase  in  the  commercial  and  consumer  loan  portfolios
between  the  periods.  During  2004,  the  Company’s
commercial  and  consumer  loan  portfolios  continued  to
increase  and  these  portfolios  represented  77.9%  of  the
Company’s  outstanding  loans  at  December  31,  2004,

77

M A N A G E M E N T ’ S   D I S C U S S I O N   A N D   A N A L Y S I S

compared to 61.7% at December 31, 2003. The increase in
interest  income  as  a  result  of  the  increased  interest-earning
assets more than offset the decrease in the interest rates earned
on  the  assets  between  the  periods.  The  yield  earned  on
interest-earning  assets  was  5.90%  for  the  year  ended
December  31,  2004,  a  decrease  of  14  basis  points  from  the
6.04% yield for the same period of 2003. Interest expense was
$21.0  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2004,  an
increase  of  $704,000,  from  the  $20.3  million  for  the  same
period  in  2003.  Interest  expense  on  deposits  and  Federal
Home Loan Bank advances increased by $2.1 million due to
the  $132  million  in  growth  in  the  average  outstanding
balance  of  deposits  and  advances  between  the  periods.  This
increase  was  partially  offset  by  a  $1.4  million  decrease  in

interest expense due to a decline in the interest rates paid. The
decline in interest rates paid is due in part to the $90 million
increase  in  the  outstanding  average  balance  of  checking  and
money market accounts between the periods, which generally
have  lower  interest  rates  than  other  deposit  accounts.  The
average  interest  rate  paid  on  interest-bearing  liabilities  was
2.53% for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of 38
basis  points  from  the  2.91%  in  2003.  The  following  table
presents  the  total  dollar  amount  of  interest  income  from
average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well
as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities,
expressed both in dollars and rates. Non-accruing loans have
been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Net  interest  margin  increased  to  3.50%  in  2004
compared  to  3.31%  for  2003  primarily  because  of  the
growth in commercial and consumer loans and the increase
in the outstanding average balance of checking and money
market  accounts.  Average  net  earning  assets  were  $44.6
million  in  2004  compared  to  $46.4  million  for  2003.  Net
earning  assets  were  reduced  because  of  the  repurchase  of
HMN common stock, the payment of dividends, an increase
in  non-interest  earning  cash  due  to  the  operation  of  more
ATM  machines  in  2004,  and  an  increase  in  non-interest
bearing reserve accounts required to be maintained because
of the increase in transaction account deposits between the
periods.  During  2004  and  2003  the  Company  paid  $3.3
million  and  $1.4  million  to  purchase  its  common  stock  in
the open market and paid dividends to stockholders of $3.2

million and $2.9 million, respectively. Non-interest bearing
cash  amounts  increased  by  $2.4  million  and  the  required
non-interest bearing reserve balance on transaction accounts
grew by $1.4 million.  

The  following  table  presents  the  dollar  amount  of
changes  in  interest  income  and  interest  expense  for  major
components  of  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing
liabilities.  It  quantifies  the  changes  in  interest  income  and
interest expense related to changes in the average outstanding
balances  (volume)  and  those  changes  caused  by  fluctuating
interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing  liabilities,  information  is  provided  on
changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in
volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e.,
changes in rate multiplied by old volume).

Provision For Loan Losses
The  provision  for  loan  losses  is  recorded  to  maintain  the
allowance  for  loan  losses  at  a  level  deemed  appropriate  by
management  based  on  the  factors  disclosed  in  the  critical
accounting policy previously discussed. The provision for loan
losses was $2.8 million for 2004 compared to $2.6 million for
2003. The provision for loan losses increased primarily because
of an increase in the reserves established on two commercial
lending relationships with combined outstanding balances of
$10.4 million and loss reserves of $744,000 at December 31,
2004. The increased reserves were due to downgrades in the
risk ratings assigned to these loans. Both of these loans were
performing  at  December  31,  2004  and  will  continue  to  be
monitored  for  changes  in  risk  in  accordance  with  the

Company’s  commercial  credit  policy.  The  increase  in  the
provision because of these downgrades was partially offset by
the $43 million decrease in loan growth that was experienced
in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios during 2004
when  compared  to  2003.  Commercial  and  consumer  loans
generally require a larger provision due to the greater inherent
credit risk of these loans. 

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest  income  was  $6.0  million  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2004, a decrease of $4.3 million, from $10.3
million  for  the  same  period  in  2003.  The  following  table

Fees  and  service  charges  earned  in  2004  increased  by
$472,000 from those earned in 2003, primarily due to the
full year effect of increased fees generated from an overdraft
protection  program  that  was  implemented  in  the  second
quarter of 2003. The Company also increased the charges for
some  services  and  developed  more  retail  and  commercial
checking account relationships during 2004, which created
more fee income opportunities. The Company will continue
to focus on deposit growth in checking and money market
accounts  in  order  to  increase  fee  income  opportunities  and
decrease its cost of funds. 

Mortgage  servicing  fees  increased  by  $171,000  for  the
year ended December 31, 2004 due to the increased number of
single-family  loans  that  were  serviced  for  others.  The  lower
mortgage  interest  rates  in  2003  resulted  in  increased  loan
originations  and  the  majority  of  the  loans  were  sold  on  the
secondary mortgage market with the servicing rights retained. 
Security  gains  decreased  by  $1.8  million  for  the  year
ended  December  31,  2004  as  fewer  investments  were  sold
and because of the $539,000 write down of a Federal Home
Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  (FHLMC)  preferred  stock
investment whose decline in value due to changes in interest
rates was determined to be other than temporary. The ability
to realize gains on the sale of securities is dependent on the
type of securities in the securities portfolio and on changes
in the general interest rate environment. The Company was
able to recognize gains on both its debt and equity security
portfolios  in  the  declining  interest  rate  conditions  that
existed during 2003, but was not able to do this in the rising
rate environment that existed in 2004. 

Gains  on  the  sale  of  single-family  loans  decreased  by
$3.5  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2004.
Increases in interest rates from the historically low mortgage
rates  experienced  during  2003  resulted  in  a  significant
decrease in mortgage loan origination activity in 2004 when
compared  to  2003.  The  majority  of  the  fixed  rate  single-
family  loans  that  are  originated  are  sold  in  the  secondary

mortgage  market  in  order  to  reduce  interest  rate  risk,
increase  non-interest  income,  and  provide  funding  for  the
commercial  and  consumer  loan  growth.  The  Company
expects  mortgage  interest  rates  to  trend  slightly  higher  in
2005,  which  may  result  in  lower  single-family  loan
originations  and  less  gain  on  sales  of  loans  than  that
experienced in 2004. 

Losses from limited partnerships decreased by $217,000
for the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily because the
Company’s investment in a limited partnership that invested
in  mortgage  servicing  rights  was  dissolved  in  the  second
quarter of 2003. Generally, as interest rates rise the value of
fixed rate mortgage servicing rights increases and as interest
rates fall the value of mortgage servicing rights declines due
to  changes  in  the  anticipated  cash  flows  caused  by
prepayments  on  the  loans  being  serviced.  During  2003,
declines in interest rates on single-family mortgages caused
the  Company  to  recognize  losses  on  its  investment  in  the
mortgage  servicing  limited  partnership.  This  partnership
was  dissolved  in  the  second  quarter  of  2003  in  order  to
eliminate future losses. For more information on investments
in limited partnerships refer to Notes 1 and 9 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other non-interest income consists primarily of fees and
commissions  earned  on  the  sale  of  financial  planning  and
insurance products and the gains and losses from the sale of
assets.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2004,  other  non-
interest  income  was  $880,000  compared  to  $681,000  for
2003. The change in other non-interest income is principally
due  to  increases  in  revenues  from  the  sale  of  uninsured
investment products. 

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2004
was $20.2 million, compared to $19.7 million for the year
ended in 2003. The following table presents the components

Non-interest  expense  increased  by  $509,000  in  2004
primarily because of a $1.5 million increase in compensation
and benefits expense due to increases in health insurance and
payroll costs due to normal staffing growth during the year
and annual salary increases. Occupancy expense increased by
$206,000  primarily  because  of  real  estate  tax  increases  on
existing  facilities  and  increased  expenses  related  to  the
additional  corporate  facilities  that  were  put  in  place  in  the
first  quarter  of  2004.  Amortization  expense  on  mortgage
servicing rights decreased by $921,000 between the periods
because  of  a  decrease  in  the  prepayments  on  the  mortgage
loans being serviced. It is anticipated that prepayments will
remain about the same in 2005 as they were in 2004 due to
the  reduced  number  of  loans  that  are  being  refinanced
compared  to  those  that  were  refinanced  in  2003.  Data
processing costs decreased by $179,000 primarily because of
the renegotiation of a third party service contract in the fourth
quarter of 2003. 

Income Taxes
The  Company  considers  the  calculation  of  current  and
deferred income taxes to be a critical accounting policy that is
subject  to  significant  estimates.  Actual  results  could  differ
significantly  from  the  estimates  and  interpretations  used  in
determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities.
During  2004  and  2003  the  Company  recorded  income  tax
expense  of  $4.4  million  and  $4.0  million,  respectively.  The
change  in  income  tax  expense  is  primarily  the  result  of
changes in taxable income. Refer to Note 15 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
relating to income taxes.

C O M P A R I S O N   O F   2 0 0 3   W I T H   2 0 0 2
Net income was $8.6 million for the year ended December
31,  2003,  compared  to  $5.3  million  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2002. Diluted earnings per common share for
the year ended December 31, 2003 were $2.16, compared to
$1.32  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2002.  Return  on
average assets was 1.10% and 0.74% and return on average
equity was 10.85% and 6.94% for the years ended December
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. 

In comparing the year ended December 31, 2003 to the

year ended December 31, 2002, net interest income increased
by $3.1 million primarily because of an increase in interest-
earning  assets  and  because  of  a  higher  concentration  of
commercial and consumer loans and an increase in checking
and  money  market  deposit  accounts.  Non-interest  income
increased $4.4 million primarily due to increases in the gains
recognized on the sale of mortgage loans and securities. Non-
interest expense increased by $1.8 million primarily because
of  an  increase  in  the  amortization  of  mortgage  servicing
rights  that  was  caused  by  the  large  number  of  loan
prepayments  during  2003.  Non-interest  expense  also
increased because of increases in compensation and benefits
and  occupancy  expense  primarily  related  to  the  growth  in
employees and facilities between the periods. 

Net  interest  income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,
2003  was  $24.6  million,  an  increase  of  $3.1  million,  from
$21.5 million in 2002. Interest income was $44.9 million for
the  year  ended  December  31,  2003,  an  increase  of  $2.0
million,  from  $42.9  million  for  the  same  period  in  2002.
Interest income increased primarily because of an increase in
interest-earning assets and because of a higher concentration
of  commercial  and  consumer  loans  in  portfolio.  The
commercial and consumer loan portfolios increased by $148
million  between  the  periods.  During  2003,  the  Company’s
commercial  and  consumer  loan  portfolios  continued  to
increase  and  the  percentage  of  loans  in  these  portfolios
represented  61.7%  of  the  Company’s  outstanding  loans  at
December  31,  2003,  compared  to  58.2%  at  December  31,
2002.  The  increase  in  interest-earning  assets  offsets  the
decrease in the interest rates earned on the assets between the
periods.  Interest  expense  was  $20.3  million  for  the  year
ended December 31, 2003, a decrease of $1.0 million, from
the  $21.3  million  for  the  same  period  in  2002.  Interest
expense declined primarily because of a decrease in the rates
paid on deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances and
because of a $45 million increase in the outstanding average
balance of checking and money market accounts between the
periods, which generally have lower interest rates than other
deposit accounts.

Net  interest  margin  increased  to  3.31%  in  2003
compared  to  3.19%  for  2002  primarily  because  of  the
increased  focus  on  commercial  and  consumer  loans  and  the

12

increase in the outstanding average balance of checking and
money  market  accounts.  Average  net  earning  assets  were
$46.4 million in 2003 compared to $45.7 million for 2002.
The  Company  has  actively  purchased  its  common  stock  in
the  open  market  and  has  paid  quarterly  dividends  to  its
stockholders,  both  of  which  reduce  net  interest  earning
assets. During 2003 and 2002 HMN paid $1.4 million and
$1.5  million  to  purchase  its  common  stock  in  the  open
market  and  paid  dividends  to  stockholders  of  $2.9  million
and  $2.6  million,  respectively.  The  increase  in  net  interest
earning assets in 2003 is primarily the result of net income
exceeding  stock  repurchases,  dividends  on  common  stock,
and fixed asset additions.

The provision for loan losses for 2003 was $2.6 million
compared to $2.4 million for 2002. The provision increased
primarily  because  of  the  additional  $33  million  in  growth
experienced in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios
in 2003. Commercial and consumer loans generally require a
larger  provision  due  to  the  greater  inherent  credit  risk  of
these loans. The provision also increased because of increases
in specific consumer loan reserves and increased instances of
personal  bankruptcies  that  resulted  in  an  increase  in  non-
accruing  loans  of  $1.2  million  between  the  periods.  The
Company incurred $494,000 of net loan charge-offs in 2003
compared to $1.3 million of net loan charge-offs in 2002. 

Non-interest  income  was  $10.3  million  for  2003,
compared to $5.9 million for 2002. Fees and service charges
earned for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased by
$581,000  from  those  earned  in  2002,  primarily  due  to  the
increased  fees  generated  from  an  overdraft  protection
program  that  was  implemented  in  the  second  quarter  of
2003.  Mortgage  servicing  fees  increased  by  $283,000  in
2003 due to the increased number of single-family loans that
were  serviced  for  others.  Gains  on  the  sale  of  securities
increased by $853,000 in 2003 as investments were sold to
fund a portion of the consumer and commercial loan growth
that was experienced. Gains on the sale of single-family loans
increased by $2.2 million for the year ended December 31,
2003.  Low  mortgage  rates  during  2003  resulted  in  higher
single-family  loan  originations  than  in  2002  as  consumers
took advantage of the low interest rates to purchase a home

or  refinance  their  existing  home  mortgage.  Losses  from
limited  partnerships  decreased  by  $416,000  for  the  year
ended December 31, 2003 primarily because of lower losses
on  an  investment  in  a  limited  partnership  that  invested  in
mortgage servicing rights. Generally, as interest rates rise the
value of fixed rate mortgage servicing rights increases and as
interest  rates  fall  the  value  of  mortgage  servicing  rights
declines due to changes in the anticipated cash flows caused
by  prepayments  on  the  loans  being  serviced.  During  2003
and  2002,  declines  in  interest  rates  on  single-family
mortgages  caused  the  Company  to  recognize  losses  on  its
investment  in  the  mortgage  servicing  limited  partnership.
This partnership was dissolved in the second quarter of 2003.
Other non-interest income increased by $84,000 principally
due to increases in the gains recognized on the sale of assets
as the Company sold three former branch locations in 2003. 
Non-interest expense increased by $1.8 million in 2003
primarily  because  of  an  increase  of  $816,000  in  the
amortization of mortgage servicing rights which was caused
by  the  large  number  of  loan  prepayments  during  the  year.
Because  of  the  low  interest  rates  in  2003,  many  loans  that
were  being  serviced  by  the  Bank  were  refinanced.  When  a
serviced loan was paid off, the remaining value of the right to
service  that  loan  was  recorded  as  additional  amortization
expense  in  the  month  in  which  the  loan  was  repaid.
Compensation  and  benefits  expense  increased  by  $663,000
primarily because of an increase in the number of employees,
annual payroll cost increases, and costs related to a separation
agreement  with  a  former  executive  officer.  Occupancy
expense  increased  by  $314,000  due  to  the  increased  costs
associated  with  operating  and  maintaining  additional
facilities in 2003, including loan production offices opened
in Byron, Stewartville, and St. Cloud, Minnesota, as well as
West  Des  Moines,  Iowa.  During  2003  and  2002  the
Company recorded income tax expense of $4.0 million and
$2.1 million, respectively. The change in income tax expense
is the result of changes in taxable income and an increase in
the  Company’s  effective  tax  rate  caused  primarily  by  lower
state tax deductions as a percentage of income in 2003 when
compared to 2002.

The Company continues to manage interest rate risk and
increase  interest  income  by  increasing  its  investment  in
shorter term and generally higher yielding commercial real
estate  and  commercial  business  loans  and  reducing  its
investment  in  longer  term  one-to-four  family  real  estate
loans. The Company intends to continue to increase the size
of  its  commercial  real  estate,  commercial  business  and
consumer loan portfolios while maintaining the one-to-four
family loans held in portfolio.

The  one-to-four  family  real  estate  loans  were  $139.0
million at December 31, 2004, a decrease of $5.3 million,
compared to $144.3 million at December 31, 2003. During
2004  loan  originations  decreased  and  the  mortgage  loans
that were originated and placed in portfolio were not enough
to offset the principal payments received on the loans already
in  the  portfolio.  The  decrease  in  the  amount  of  mortgage
loans  placed  in  portfolio  was  the  primary  reason  for  the
decline in the one-to-four family loan portfolio during 2004.

Commercial  real  estate  loans  were  $224.9  million  at
December 31, 2004, an increase of $25.8 million, compared
to  $199.1  million  at  December  31,  2003.  Commercial
business loans were $182.4 million at December 31, 2004,
an increase of $49.9 million, compared to $132.5 million at
December 31, 2003. The Company’s continued emphasis on
commercial  real  estate  and  commercial  business  loans
resulted  in  the  origination  or  purchase  of  commercial  real
estate  loans  totaling  $65.7  million  in  2004  and  $133.6
million  in  2003.  Commercial  business  loans  originated  or
purchased  were  $127.7  million  in  2004,  compared  to  $142.6
million in 2003. Production volume was the principal reason
for  the  increase  in  commercial  real  estate  and  commercial
business loans in 2004.

Home equity line loans were $67.1 million at December
31, 2004, compared to $54.2 million at December 31, 2003.
The  open-end  home  equity  lines  are  written  with  an
adjustable rate with terms of 20 years, a 10 year draw period
which  requires  “interest  only”  payments  and  a  10  year
repayment  period  which  fully  amortizes  the  outstanding
balance.  Closed-end  home  equity  loans  are  written  with
fixed  or  adjustable  rates  with  terms  up  to  15  years.  Home
equity  loans  were  $20.0  million  at  December  31,  2004,
compared to $19.0 million at December 31, 2003. Because
many borrowers refinanced their home mortgage during the
record  low  interest  rates  in  2003,  many  turned  to  home
equity loans to finance their home improvement and other
purchases  as  they  did  not  want  to  refinance  their  first
mortgage at the higher rates in effect during 2004. 

Allowance for Loan Losses
The determination of the allowance for loan losses and the
related  provision  is  a  critical  accounting  policy  of  the
Company  that  is  subject  to  significant  estimates,  as
previously discussed. The current level of the allowance for
loan losses is a result of management’s assessment of the risks
within  the  portfolio  based  on  the  information  obtained
through the credit evaluation process. The Company utilizes
a  risk-rating  system  on  non-homogenous  commercial  real
estate  and  commercial  business  loans  that  includes  regular
credit  reviews  to  identify  and  quantify  the  risk  in  the
commercial  portfolio.  Management  conducts  quarterly
reviews  of  the  loan  portfolio  and  evaluates  the  need  to
establish general allowances on the basis of these reviews.

Management continues to actively monitor asset quality
and to charge off loans against the allowance for loan losses
when  appropriate.  Although  management  believes  it  uses
the best information available to make determinations with
respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments
may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially
from  the  economic  conditions  in  the  assumptions  used  to
determine the size of the allowance for losses.

The  allowance  for  loan  losses  was  $9.0  million,  or
1.12%, of gross loans at December 31, 2004, compared to
$6.9 million, or 0.98%, of gross loans at December 31, 2003.

The allocation of the allowance for loan losses increased
in  2004  for  one-to-four  family,  multi-family,  commercial,
construction  or  development,  and  commercial  business  loans
primarily because management’s overall assessment of the risk
of the individual loans in these categories increased between the
years.  The  allocated  percentage  for  the  consumer  loans
decreased in 2004 primarily because of an increased percentage
of home equity loans in the consumer loan mix in 2004. 

Allowance for Real Estate Losses
Real  estate  properties  acquired  or  expected  to  be  acquired
through loan foreclosures are initially recorded at the lower
of  the  related  loan  balance,  less  any  specific  allowance  for
loss,  or  fair  value  less  estimated  selling  costs.  Management
periodically performs valuations and an allowance for losses
is established if the carrying value of a property exceeds its
fair  value  less  estimated  selling  costs.  There  was  limited
activity in the allowance for real estate losses and the balance
was zero at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. 

Non-performing Assets
Loans  are  reviewed  at  least  quarterly  and  any  loan  whose
collectibility  is  doubtful  is  placed  on  non-accrual  status.
Loans are placed on non-accrual status when either principal
or  interest  is  90  days  or  more  past  due,  unless,  in  the
judgment of management, the loan is well collateralized and

in  the  process  of  collection.  Interest  accrued  and  unpaid  at
the  time  a  loan  is  placed  on  non-accrual  status  is  charged
against  interest  income.  Subsequent  payments  are  either
applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as
interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate
collectibility  of  the  loan.  Restructured  loans  include  the
Bank’s troubled debt restructurings that involved forgiving
a  portion  of  interest  or  principal  on  any  loans  or  making
loans  at  a  rate  materially  less  than  the  market  rate.
Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in
settlement of loans.

Non-performing assets is comprised of non-accrual loans,
restructured  loans,  impaired  securities,  delinquent  accounts
receivable,  real  estate  acquired  through  foreclosure,  and
repossessed assets and totaled $4.9 million at December 31,
2004, compared to $5.0 million at December 31, 2003. The
$153,000 decrease in non-performing assets in 2004 relates
primarily  to  a  $350,000  decrease  in  non-performing  loans
and a $9,000 decrease in non-performing other assets that are
partially offset by an increase of $206,000 in foreclosed and
repossessed assets. The increase in this category is primarily
related  to  an  increase  in  the  number  of  repossessed  mobile
homes at December 31, 2004.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2004,  gross  interest
income  which  would  have  been  recorded  had  the  non-
accruing loans been current in accordance with their original
terms  amounted  to  $271,071.  The  amounts  that  were
included  in  interest  income  on  a  cash  basis  for  such  loans
during 2004 were $158,767.

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2003,  gross  interest
income  which  would  have  been  recorded  had  the  non-
accruing loans been current in accordance with their original
terms  amounted  to  $458,473.  The  amounts  that  were
included  in  interest  income  on  a  cash  basis  for  such  loans
during 2003 were $163,044.

In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the
table above, as of December 31, 2004 there were no loans with
known information about the possible credit problems of the
borrowers or the cash flows of the secured properties that have
caused management to have concerns as to the ability of the
borrowers  to  comply  with  present  loan  repayment  terms
which may result in the future inclusion of such items in the
non-performing asset categories. Management has considered
the  Bank’s  non-performing  and  “of  concern”  assets  in
establishing its allowance for loan losses.

L i q u i d i t y   a n d   C a p i t a l   R e s o u r c e s
The Company manages its liquidity position to ensure that
the  funding  needs  of  borrowers  and  depositors  are  met

timely and in the most cost effective manner. Asset liquidity
is the ability to convert assets to cash through the maturity
or  sale  of  the  asset.  Liability  liquidity  is  the  ability  of  the
Bank to attract retail or brokered deposits or to borrow funds
from third parties such as the FHLB. 

The  primary  investing  activities  are  the  origination  of
loans  and  the  purchase  of  securities.  Principal  and  interest
payments  on  loans  and  securities  along  with  the  proceeds
from the sale of loans held for sale are the primary sources of
cash  for  the  Company.  Additional  cash  can  be  obtained  by
selling securities from the available for sale portfolio or by
selling loans or mortgage servicing rights. Loans could also
be  securitized  and  used  as  collateral  for  additional
borrowings with the FHLB to generate additional cash. 

The primary financing activity is the attraction of retail
and brokered deposits. The Bank has the ability to borrow
additional  funds  from  the  FHLB  by  pledging  additional
securities  or  loans.  Refer  to  Note  13  of  the  Notes  to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on
additional  advances  that  could  be  drawn  upon  based  on
existing  collateral  levels  with  the  FHLB.  Information  on
outstanding  advance  maturities  and  related  early  call
features is also included in Note 13.

The  Company’s  most  liquid  assets  are  cash  and  cash
equivalents,  which  consist  of  short-term  highly  liquid
investments  with  original  maturities  of  less  than  three

17

M A N A G E M E N T ’ S   D I S C U S S I O N   A N D   A N A L Y S I S

months  that  are  readily  convertible  to  known  amounts  of
cash and interest-bearing deposits. The level of these assets
is  dependent  on  the  operating,  financing,  and  investing
activities during any given period. 

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2004 were
$34.3  million,  an  increase  of  $3.8  million,  compared  to
$30.5 million at December 31, 2003. Net cash provided by
operating  activities  during  2004  was  $15.4  million.  The
Company  conducted  the  following  major  investing
activities during 2004: proceeds from the sale of securities
available for sale were $15.1 million, principal received on
payments and maturities of securities available for sale was
$19.4 million, purchases of securities available for sale were
$34.9 million, and net loans receivable increased by $96.8
million. The Company spent $2.2 million for the purchase
of  equipment  and  updating  its  premises,  and  received
$267,000  from  the  sale  of  real  estate  and  old  branch
facilities. Net cash used by investing activities during 2004
was $98.0 million. The Company conducted the following
major financing activities during 2004: purchase of treasury
stock of $3.3 million, paid out $21.7 million in customer
escrows,  paid  $3.2  million  in  dividends  to  HMN
stockholders,  proceeds  from  FHLB  advances  totaled  $54.9
million,  repayments  of  FHLB  advances  totaled  $87.9
million, and increases in deposits were $147.6 million. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $86.4 million.

The  Company  has  certificates  of  deposit  with
outstanding balances of $197.6 million that mature during
2005. Based upon past experience management anticipates
that  the  majority  of  the  deposits  will  renew  for  another
term. The Company believes that deposits that do not renew
will be replaced with deposits from a combination of other
customers  or  brokers.  FHLB  advances  or  the  sale  of
securities  could  also  be  used  to  replace  unanticipated
outflows of deposits. Management does not anticipate that it
will  have  a  liquidity  problem  in  2005  due  to  maturing
deposits.

The Company has $10 million of FHLB advances that
mature in 2005 and it has $110.9 million of FHLB advances

with maturities beyond 2005 that have call features that may
be exercised by the FHLB during 2005. If the call features
are exercised, the Company has the option of requesting any
advance  otherwise  available  to  it  pursuant  to  the  credit
policy  of  the  FHLB.  Since  the  Company  has  the  ability  to
request another advance to replace the advance that is being
called,  management  does  not  anticipate  that  it  will  have  a
liquidity problem due to advances being called by the FHLB
during 2005. 

The credit policy of the FHLB may change such that the
current collateral pledged to secure the advances is no longer
acceptable  or  the  formulas  for  determining  the  excess
pledged  collateral  may  change.  If  this  were  to  happen  the
Bank may not have additional collateral to pledge to secure
the existing advances which could cause the FHLB advances
to become a liquidity problem during 2005.

requirements  for  2005  will  be  similar  to  the  cash  flows  it

net  increase  in  customer  escrows  is  anticipated  to  be
$200,000;  the  funds  provided  from  deposits  and/or  FHLB
advances  are  anticipated  to  be  $56  million;  and  the  funds
provided  by  security  sales  and/or  principal  collections  on

On  February  24,  2004,  the  Company’s  Board  of
Directors  authorized  the  extension  of  the  stock  repurchase
program to August 26, 2005. The plan authorized HMN to
repurchase up to 350,000 shares of its common stock in the
open market and as of December 31, 2004, there remained
227,000 shares authorized for repurchase. 

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Regulatory Capital Requirements
As  a  result  of  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
Improvement  Act  of  1991  (FDICIA),  banking  and  thrift
regulators  are  required  to  take  prompt  regulatory  action
against  institutions  which  are  undercapitalized.  FDICIA
requires  banking  and  thrift  regulators  to  categorize
institutions  as  “well  capitalized”,  “adequately  capitalized”,
“undercapitalized”,  “significantly  undercapitalized”,  or
“critically  undercapitalized”.  A  savings  institution  will  be
deemed to be well capitalized if it: (i) has a total risk-based
capital ratio of 10% or greater, (ii) has a Tier 1 (core) risk-
based capital ratio of 6% or greater, (iii) has a leverage ratio
of  5%  or  greater,  and  (iv)  is  not  subject  to  any  order  or
written directive by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) to
meet  and  maintain  a  specific  capital  level  for  any  capital
measure.  Management  believes  that,  as  of  December  31,
2004, the Bank met all of the capital requirements to which
it was subject and is well capitalized based on the regulatory
definition described above. Refer to Note 19 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for a table which reflects
the Bank’s capital compared to its capital requirements.

Dividends
The  declaration  of  dividends  is  subject  to,  among  other
things,  the  Company’s  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations, the Bank’s compliance with its regulatory capital
requirements,  tax  considerations,  industry  standards,
economic  conditions,  regulatory  restrictions,  general
business practices and other factors. Refer to Note 19 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information
on regulatory limitations on dividends from the Bank to the
Company  and  additional  information  on  dividends.  The
payment  of  dividends  is  dependent  upon  the  Company
having adequate cash or other assets that can be converted to
cash to pay dividends to its stockholders. The Company does
not  anticipate  a  liquidity  problem  in  2005  relating  to  the
payment of dividends.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of
operations.  Unlike  most  industrial  companies,  nearly  all  of
the  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  Company  are  monetary  in
nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the
Company’s performance than do the effects of general levels
of  inflation.  Interest  rates  do  not  necessarily  move  in  the
same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods
and services.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In  December  2004,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board  (FASB)  issued  a  revised  SFAS  No.  123,  Share-Based
Payment. This Statement is a revision of FASB Statement No.

123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation and requires that the
cost  resulting  from  all  share-based  payment  transactions  be
recognized  in  the  financial  statements.  This  Statement  is
effective  for  public  entities  that  do  not  file  as  small  business
issuers  as  of  the  beginning  of  the  first  interim  or  annual
reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. It requires a
public entity to measure the cost of employee services received
in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the
grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized
over  the  period  during  which  an  employee  is  required  to
provide service in exchange for the award. The Statement also
requires  that  the  notes  to  financial  statements  disclose
information  to  assist  users  of  financial  information  to
understand the nature of share-based payment transactions and
the effects of those transactions on the financial statements. The
impact  of  adopting  the  revised  SFAS  No.  123  in  the  third
quarter  of  2005  on  the  Company’s  financial  condition  and
results of operations will not be material. 

At its March 2004 meeting, the Emerging Issues Task
Force  revisited  EITF  Issue  No.  03-1,  The  Meaning  of  Other-
Than-Temporary  Impairment  and  its  Application  to  Certain
Investments (EITF No. 03-1). Effective with reporting periods
beginning  after  June  15,  2004,  companies  carrying  certain
types  of  debt  and  equity  securities  at  amounts  higher  than
the  securities’  fair  values  would  have  to  use  more  detailed
criteria to evaluate whether to record a loss and would have
to  disclose  additional  information  about  unrealized  losses.
The FASB has since issued a statement of financial position
deferring  the  effective  date  of  the  revised  EITF  No.  03-1
until further implementation issues are resolved. The impact
on the Company’s financial position and results of operations
cannot be determined until the final statement is issued.

M a r k e t   R i s k
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market
prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily
from interest rate risk inherent in its investing, lending and
deposit taking activities. Management actively monitors and
manages its interest rate risk exposure. 

The  Company’s  profitability  is  affected  by  fluctuations
in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest
rates  may  adversely  impact  the  Company’s  earnings  to  the
extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do
not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the
same basis. The Company monitors the projected changes in
net  interest  income  that  occur  if  interest  rates  were  to
suddenly change up or down. The Rate Shock Table located
in  the  Asset/Liability  Management  section  of  this
Management’s Discussion and Analysis section discloses the
Company’s  projected  changes  in  net  interest  income  based
upon immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks. 

The Company utilizes a model that uses the discounted

19

M A N A G E M E N T ’ S   D I S C U S S I O N   A N D   A N A L Y S I S

cash  flows  from  its  interest-earning  assets  and  its  interest-
bearing  liabilities  to  calculate  the  current  market  value  of
those  assets  and  liabilities.  The  model  also  calculates  the
changes  in  market  value  of  the  interest-earning  assets  and
interest-bearing  liabilities  under  different  interest  rate
changes. 

The management of the Company believes that over the
next twelve months interest rates could conceivably fluctuate

in a range of 200 basis points up or 100 basis points down
from  where  the  rates  were  at  December  31,  2004.  The
following  table  discloses  the  projected  changes  in  market
value to the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing  liabilities  based  upon  incremental  100  basis  point
changes  in  interest  rates  from  interest  rates  in  effect  on
December 31, 2004.

The  preceding  table  was  prepared  utilizing  the
following  assumptions  (the  Model  Assumptions)  regarding
prepayment  and  decay  ratios  that  were  determined  by
management  based  upon  their  review  of  historical
prepayment  speeds  and  future  prepayment  projections.
Fixed  rate  loans  were  assumed  to  prepay  at  annual  rates  of
between 5% and 75%, depending on the note rate and the
period to maturity. Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) were
assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 10% and 33%,
depending  on  the  note  rate  and  the  period  to  maturity.
Growing  Equity  Mortgage  (GEM)  loans  were  assumed  to
prepay at annual rates of between 5% and 53% depending
on  the  note  rate  and  the  period  to  maturity.  Mortgage-
backed  securities  and  Collateralized  Mortgage  Obligations
(CMOs) were projected to have prepayments based upon the
underlying  collateral  securing  the  instrument  and  the
related  cash  flow  priority  of  the  CMO  tranche  owned.
Certificate accounts were assumed not to be withdrawn until
maturity.  Passbook  and  money  market  accounts  were
assumed  to  decay  at  an  annual  rate  of  30%.  Non-interest
checking and NOW accounts were assumed to decay at an
annual  rate  of  16%.  Commercial  NOW  and  MMDA
accounts  were  assumed  to  decay  at  an  annual  rate  of  30%.
FHLB advances were projected to be called at the first call
date where the projected interest rate on similar remaining
term  advances  exceeded  the  interest  rate  on  the  callable

advance.  Refer  to  Note  13  of  the  Notes  to  Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information on call provisions
of the FHLB advances.

Certain  shortcomings  are  inherent  in  the  method  of
analysis presented in the foregoing table. The interest rates
on  certain  types  of  assets  and  liabilities  may  fluctuate  in
advance  of  changes  in  market  interest  rates,  while  interest
rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind
changes in market interest rates. The model assumes that the
difference between the current interest rate being earned or
paid  compared  to  a  treasury  instrument  or  other  interest
index with a similar term to maturity (the Interest Spread)
will  remain  constant  over  the  interest  changes  disclosed  in
the table. Changes in Interest Spread could impact projected
market  value  changes.  Certain  assets,  such  as  ARMs,  have
features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term
basis and over the life of the assets. The market value of the
interest-bearing  assets  that  are  approaching  their  lifetime
interest  rate  caps  could  be  different  from  the  values
calculated in the table. In the event of a change in interest
rates,  prepayment  and  early  withdrawal  levels  may  deviate
significantly  from  those  assumed  in  calculating  the
foregoing  table.  The  ability  of  many  borrowers  to  service
their  debt  may  decrease  in  the  event  of  a  substantial
sustained interest rate increase.

Asset/Liability Management
The  Company’s  management  reviews  the  impact  that
changing interest rates will have on its net interest income
projected  for  the  twelve  months  following  December  31,
2004 to determine if its current level of interest rate risk is
acceptable.  The  following  table  projects  the  estimated
impact  on  net  interest  income  of  immediate  interest  rate
changes called rate shocks.

The  preceding  table  was  prepared  utilizing  the  Model
Assumptions.  Certain  shortcomings  are  inherent  in  the
method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. In the
event  of  a  change  in  interest  rates,  prepayment  and  early
withdrawal  levels  would  likely  deviate  significantly  from
those assumed in calculating the foregoing table. The ability
of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the
event  of  a  substantial  increase  in  interest  rates  and  could
impact net interest income.

In  an  attempt  to  manage  its  exposure  to  changes  in
interest  rates,  management  closely  monitors  interest  rate
risk.  The  Company  has  an  Asset/Liability  Committee  that
meets frequently to discuss changes made to the interest rate
risk  position  and  projected  profitability.  The  Committee
makes adjustments to the asset-liability position of the Bank
that are reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Bank. This
Committee  also  reviews  the  Bank’s  portfolio,  formulates

investment  strategies  and  oversees  the  timing  and
implementation  of  transactions  to  assure  attainment  of  the
Bank’s objectives in the most effective manner. In addition,
the  Board  reviews  on  a  quarterly  basis  the  Bank’s
asset/liability position, including simulations of the effect on
the Bank’s capital of various interest rate scenarios.

In managing its asset/liability mix, the Bank, at times,
depending on the relationship between long and short-term
interest  rates,  market  conditions  and  consumer  preference,
may place more emphasis on managing net interest margin
than  on  better  matching  the  interest  rate  sensitivity  of  its
assets  and  liabilities  in  an  effort  to  enhance  net  interest
income. Management believes that the increased net interest
income  resulting  from  a  mismatch  in  the  maturity  of  its
asset and liability portfolios can, during periods of declining
or  stable  interest  rates,  provide  high  enough  returns  to
justify  the  increased  exposure  to  sudden  and  unexpected
increases in interest rates. 

To  the  extent  consistent  with  its  interest  rate  spread
objectives, the Bank attempts to reduce its interest rate risk
and  has  taken  a  number  of  steps  to  restructure  its  balance
sheet in order to better match the maturities of its assets and
liabilities. The Bank has primarily focused its fixed rate one-
to-four family residential lending program on loans that are
saleable to third parties and only places fixed rate loans that
meet certain risk characteristics into its loan portfolio. The
Bank does place into portfolio adjustable rate single-family
loans  that  reprice  over  a  one-year,  three-year  or  five-year
period.  The  Bank’s  commercial  loan  production  has
primarily  been  in  adjustable  rate  loans  and  the  fixed  rate
commercial loans placed in portfolio have been shorter-term
loans, usually with maturities of five years or less, in order to
lower the Company’s interest rate risk exposure.

NOTE 1  Description of the Business and Summary of

Significant Accounting Policies
HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) is a stock savings bank
holding company that owns 100 percent of Home Federal Savings
Bank (the Bank). The Bank has a community banking philosophy
and  operates  retail  banking  facilities  in  Minnesota  and  Iowa.  The
Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Osterud Insurance Agency,
Inc. (OAI) which offers financial planning products and services and
Home Federal Holding, Inc. (HFH) which is the holding company
for Home Federal REIT, Inc. (HFREIT) which invests in real estate
loans  acquired  from  the  Bank.  HMN  has  another  wholly  owned
subsidiary,  Security  Finance  Corporation  (SFC)  which  acts  as  an
intermediary  for  the  Bank  in  transacting  like  kind  property
exchanges  for  Bank  customers.  The  Bank  had  an  80%  owned
subsidiary,  Federal  Title  Services,  LLC  (FTS),  which  performed
mortgage title services for Bank customers. FTS stopped accepting
title orders in the third quarter of 2004 and was dissolved. The Bank
had a 51% owned subsidiary, Home Federal Mortgage Services, LLC
(HFMS),  that  was  a  mortgage  banking  and  mortgage  brokerage
business until its assets were liquidated in 2003 and it was dissolved.
The  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein  are  for
HMN,  SFC,  the  Bank  and  the  Bank’s  consolidated  entities  as
described  above.  All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

In  preparing  the  consolidated  financial
Use  of  Estimates
statements,  management  is  required  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change relate to the
determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of
mortgage servicing rights. 

Management  believes  that  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  is
adequate  to  cover  probable  losses  inherent  in  the  portfolio  at  the
date  of  the  balance  sheet.  While  management  uses  available
information  to  recognize  losses  on  loans,  future  additions  to  the
allowance  may  be  necessary  based  on  changes  in  economic
conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral
part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance
for loan losses. Such agencies may require additions to the allowance
based on their judgment about information available to them at the
time of their examination.

Mortgage  servicing  rights  are  stratified  by  loan  type  and  note
rate  and  are  valued  quarterly  using  prepayment  and  default  rate
assumptions.  While  management  believes  that  the  assumptions
used and the values determined are reasonable, future adjustments
may  be  necessary  if  economic  conditions  differ  substantially  from
the economic conditions in the assumptions used to determine the
value of the mortgage servicing rights.

Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

Securities are accounted for according to their purpose
Securities
and  holding  period.  The  Company  classifies  its  debt  and  equity
securities in one of three categories: 

Trading Securities  Securities held principally for resale in the near
term are classified as trading securities and are recorded at their fair
values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included
in other income.

Securities  Held  to  Maturity    Securities that the Company has the
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost and
adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest
income  using  the  interest  method  over  the  period  to  maturity.
Unrealized losses on securities held to maturity reflecting a decline in
value judged to be other than temporary are charged to income.

Securities Available for Sale  Securities available for sale consist of
securities not classified as trading securities or as securities held to
maturity. They include securities that management intends to use as
part of its asset/liability strategy or that may be sold in response to
changes  in  interest  rate,  changes  in  prepayment  risk,  or  similar
factors. Unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, are reported
as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. Gains
and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are determined
using the specific identification method and recognized on the trade
date.  Premiums  and  discounts  are  recognized  in  interest  income
using the interest method over the period to maturity. Unrealized
losses  on  securities  available  for  sale  reflecting  a  decline  in  value
judged to be other than temporary are charged to income, and a new
cost basis is established.

Loans Held for Sale Mortgage loans originated or purchased which
are intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower
of  cost  or  estimated  market  value  in  the  aggregate.  Net  fees  and
costs associated with acquiring and/or originating loans held for sale
are deferred and included in the basis of the loan in determining the
gain  or  loss  on  the  sale  of  the  loans.  Gains  are  recognized  on  the
settlement  date.  Net  unrealized  losses  are  recognized  through  a
valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loans Receivable, Net Loans receivable, net are considered long-
term  investments  and,  accordingly,  are  carried  at  amortized  cost.
Loan origination fees received, net of certain loan origination costs,
are  deferred  as  an  adjustment  to  the  carrying  value  of  the  related
loans, and are amortized into income using the interest method over
the estimated life of the loans.

Premiums  and  discounts  on  loans  are  amortized  into  interest
income  using  the  interest  method  over  the  period  to  contractual
maturity, adjusted for estimated prepayments.

The  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  maintained  at  an  amount
considered adequate by management to provide for probable losses
inherent  in  the  loan  portfolio  as  of  the  balance  sheet  dates.  The
allowance for loan losses is based on a quarterly analysis of the loan
portfolio  by  management.  In  this  analysis,  management  considers
factors  including,  but  not  limited  to,  specific  occurrences  which
include  loan  impairment,  changes  in  the  size  of  the  portfolios,
general  economic  conditions,  loan  portfolio  composition  and
historical experience. In connection with the determination of the
allowance  for  loan  losses,  management  obtains  independent

26

appraisals for significant properties. The allowance for loan losses is
established for known problem loans, as well as for loans which are
not  currently  known  to  require  specific  allowances.  Loans  are
charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The
adequacy  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  dependent  upon
management’s estimates of variables affecting valuation, appraisals
of collateral, evaluations of performance and status, and the amounts
and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired
loans. Such estimates, appraisals, evaluations and cash flows may be
subject  to  frequent  adjustments  due  to  changing  economic
prospects  of  borrowers  or  properties.  The  estimates  are  reviewed
periodically and adjustments, if any, are recorded in the provision for
loan losses in the periods in which the adjustments become known. 
Interest  income  is  recognized  on  an  accrual  basis  except  when
collectibility is in doubt. When loans are placed on a non-accrual
basis,  generally  when  the  loan  is  90  days  past  due,  previously
accrued  but  unpaid  interest  is  reversed  from  income.  Interest  is
subsequently  recognized  as  income  to  the  extent  cash  is  received
when, in management’s judgment, principal is collectible.

All  impaired  loans  are  valued  at  the  present  value  of  expected
future  cash  flows  discounted  at  the  loan’s  initial  effective  interest
rate.  The  fair  value  of  the  collateral  of  an  impaired  collateral-
dependent loan or an observable market price, if one exists, may be
used as an alternative to discounting. If the value of the impaired
loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment
will be recognized through the allowance for loan losses. A loan is
considered impaired when, based on current information and events,
it  is  probable  that  the  Company  will  be  unable  to  collect  all
amounts  due  according  to  the  contractual  terms  of  the  loan
agreement. Impaired loans include all loans which are delinquent as
to principal and interest for 90 days or greater and all loans that are
restructured  in  a  troubled  debt  restructuring  involving  a
modification  of  terms.  All  portfolio  loans  are  reviewed  for
impairment on an individual basis.

Mortgage Servicing Rights Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized
and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated
net  servicing  income.  The  Company  evaluates  its  capitalized
mortgage servicing rights for impairment each quarter. Loan type
and  note  rate  are  the  predominant  risk  characteristics  of  the
underlying  loans  used  to  stratify  capitalized  mortgage  servicing
rights  for  purposes  of  measuring  impairment.  Any  impairment  is
recognized through a valuation allowance.

Real Estate, Net Real estate acquired through loan foreclosures are
initially recorded at the lower of the related loan balance, less any
specific allowance for loss, or fair value less estimated selling costs.
Valuations are reviewed quarterly by management and an allowance
for losses is established if the carrying value of a property exceeds its
fair value less estimated selling costs. 

Premises and Equipment Land is carried at cost. Office buildings,
improvements,  furniture  and  equipment  are  carried  at  cost  less
accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated
useful lives of 5 to 40 years for office buildings and improvements
and 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment. 

Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets  and  for  Long-Lived  Assets  to 
Be  Disposed  Of The  Company  reviews  long-lived  assets  and
certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or
changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  an
asset may not be recoverable. 

in  Limited  Partnerships The  Company  has
Investment 
investments  in  limited  partnerships  that  invest  in  low  to  moderate
income housing projects that generate tax credits for the Company.
The  Company  accounts  for  the  earnings  or  losses  from  the  limited
partnerships on the equity method. 

Intangible  Assets Goodwill  resulting  from  acquisitions  is  not
amortized but is tested for impairment annually in accordance with
the  requirements  of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
(SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Deposit base
intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis as the deposits run
off. The Company reviews the recoverability of the carrying value of
these  assets  annually  or  whenever  an  event  occurs  indicating  that
they may be impaired.  

Stock Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock based
compensation  in  accordance  with  Accounting  Principles  Board
(APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations which measure
compensation cost using the intrinsic value method. See Note 16 for
additional information relating to stock based compensation. Had
compensation  cost  for  the  Company’s  stock  based  plan  been
determined in accordance with the fair value method recommended
by SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and earnings per share
would  have  been  adjusted  to  the  pro  forma  amounts  indicated
below:

Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  temporary  differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.

Earnings  per  Share Basic  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders  by  the  weighted-average  number  of  common  shares
outstanding  for  the  period.  Diluted  EPS  reflects  the  potential
dilution  that  could  occur  if  securities  or  other  contracts  to  issue
common  stock  were  exercised  or  converted  into  common  stock  or
resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings
of the entity. See Note 17 for disclosure of EPS calculations.

Comprehensive  Income Comprehensive  income  is  defined  as  the
change in equity during a period from transactions and other events
from  nonowner  sources.  Comprehensive  income  is  the  total  of  net
income and other comprehensive income, which for the Company is
comprised  of  unrealized  gains  and  losses  on  securities  available  for
sale and unrealized gains and losses on hedging valuations qualifying
for cash flow hedge accounting treatment pursuant to SFAS No. 133.

Segment Information The amount of each segment item reported is
the  measure  reported  to  the  chief  operating  decision  maker  for
purposes  of  making  decisions  about  allocating  resources  to  the
segment and assessing its performance. Adjustments and eliminations
made in preparing an enterprise’s general-purpose financial statements
and allocations of revenues, expenses and gains or losses are included
in determining reported segment profit or loss if they are included in
the measure of the segment’s profit or loss that is used by the chief
operating decision maker. Similarly, only those assets that are included
in  the  measure  of  the  segment’s  assets  that  are  used  by  the  chief
operating decision maker are reported for that segment. 

In  December  2004,  the  Financial
New  Accounting  Standards
Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued  a  revised  SFAS  No.
123,  Share-Based  Payment. This  Statement  is  a  revision  of  FASB
Statement  No.  123,  Accounting  for  Stock  Based  Compensation and
requires  that  the  cost  resulting  from  all  share-based  payment
transactions  be  recognized  in  the  financial  statements.  This
Statement  is  effective  for  public  entities  that  do  not  file  as  small
business issuers as of the beginning of the first interim or annual
reporting  period  that  begins  after  June  15,  2005.  It  requires  a
public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in
exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-
date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the
period during which an employee is required to provide service in
exchange for the award. The Statement also requires that the notes
to  financial  statements  disclose  information  to  assist  users  of
financial  information  to  understand  the  nature  of  share-based
payment  transactions  and  the  effects  of  those  transactions  on  the

financial statements. The impact of adopting the revised SFAS No.
123  in  the  third  quarter  of  2005  on  the  Company’s  financial
condition and results of operations will not be material. 

At  its  March  2004  meeting,  the  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force
revisited  EITF  Issue  No.  03-1,  The  Meaning  of  Other-Than-
Temporary  Impairment  and  its  Application  to  Certain  Investments
(EITF No. 03-1). Effective with reporting periods beginning after
June 15, 2004, companies carrying certain types of debt and equity
securities  at  amounts  higher  than  the  securities’  fair  values  would
have to use more detailed criteria to evaluate whether to record a loss
and would have to disclose additional information about unrealized
losses. The FASB has since issued a statement of financial position
deferring  the  effective  date  of  the  revised  EITF  No.  03-1  until
further implementation issues may be resolved. The impact on the
Company’s  financial  position  and  results  of  operations  cannot  be
determined until the final statement is issued.

Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses derivative
financial instruments in order to manage the interest rate risk on
residential loans held for sale and its commitments to extend credit
for residential loans. The Company may also use interest rate swaps
to  manage  interest  rate  risk.  Derivative  financial  instruments
include commitments to extend credit and forward mortgage loan
sales  commitments.  See  Note  21  for  additional  information
concerning these derivative financial instruments.

Reclassifications Certain  amounts  in  the  consolidated  financial
statements for prior years have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.

NOTE 2  Other Comprehensive Income 
The gross unrealized holding losses on securities for the year ended
December 31, 2004 was $1,391,000, the income tax benefit would
have been $491,000 and therefore, the net unrealized holding loss
was  $900,000.  The  gross  reclassification  adjustment  for  the  year
ended December 31, 2004 was $535,000, the income tax benefit
would  have  been  $189,000  and  therefore,  the  net  reclassification
adjustment was $346,000. The gross unrealized holding losses on
securities for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $1,241,000,
the income tax benefit would have been $439,000 and therefore,
the  net  unrealized  holding  loss  was  $802,000.  The  gross
reclassification adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2003
was  $1,274,000,  the  income  tax  expense  would  have  been
$450,000  and  therefore,  the  net  reclassification  adjustment  was
$824,000.

Retained earnings at December 31, 2004 included approximately $8,800,000 for which no provision for income taxes was made. This
amount  represents  allocations  of  income  to  bad  deductions  for  tax  purposes.  Reduction  of  amounts  so  allocated  for  purposes  other  than
absorbing losses will create income for tax purposes, which will be subject to the then-current corporate income tax rate. The Company has,
in its judgement, made reasonable assumptions relating to the realization of deferred tax assets. Based upon these assumptions, the Company
has determined that no valuation allowance is required with respect to the deferred tax assets.

NOTE 16  Employee Benefits 
Prior  to  2002,  all  eligible  full-time  employees  of  the  Bank  were
included  in  a  noncontributory  retirement  plan  sponsored  by  the
Financial Institutions Retirement Fund (FIRF). Effective September
1, 2002 the Bank froze the accrual of benefits for existing participants
and  no  new  enrollments  are  permitted  into  the  plan.  The  actuarial
present value of accumulated plan benefits and net assets available for
benefits relating to the Bank’s employees is not available at December
31,  2004  because  such  information  is  not  accumulated  for  each
participating  institution.  As  of  June  30,  2004,  the  FIRF  valuation
report reflected that the Bank was obligated to make a contribution
for  the  plan  year  ending  June  30,  2004  totaling  $83,355.  The
contribution was $36,014 in 2003 and $20,575 in 2002. 

The  Company  has  a  qualified,  tax-exempt  savings  plan  with  a
deferred  feature  qualifying  under  Section  401(k)  of  the  Internal
Revenue Code (the 401(k) Plan). All employees who have attained 18
years of age are eligible to participate in the Plan. Participants are
permitted  to  make  contributions  to  the  401(k)  Plan  equal  to  the
lesser  of  50%  of  the  participant’s  annual  salary  or  the  maximum
allowed by law, which was $13,000 for 2004. The Company matches
25% of each participant’s contributions up to a maximum of 8% of
the participant’s annual salary. Employee contributions above 8% are
not matched by the Company. Participant contributions and earnings
are fully and immediately vested. The Company’s contributions made
prior  to  January  1,  2002  are  vested  on  a  five  year  cliff  basis  and
contributions made after December 31, 2001 are vested on a three
year cliff basis. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k)
plan are expensed when made and they totaled $118,665, $113,843,
and $76,005 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Company has adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(the  ESOP)  that  meets  the  requirements  of  Section  (e)(7)  of  the
Internal  Revenue  Code  and  Section  407(d)(6)  of  the  Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) and,
as  such  the  ESOP  is  empowered  to  borrow  in  order  to  finance
purchases  of  the  common  stock  of  HMN.  The  ESOP  borrowed
$6,085,770  from  the  Company  to  purchase  912,866  shares  of
common stock in the initial public offering of HMN. As a result of
a merger with Marshalltown Financial Corporation (MFC), the ESOP
borrowed $1,476,000 to purchase 76,933 shares of HMN common
stock to provide the employees from MFC with an ESOP benefit. The
ESOP debt requires quarterly payments of principal plus interest at
7.52%.  The  Company  has  committed  to  make  quarterly
contributions  to  the  ESOP  necessary  to  repay  the  loan  including
interest. The Company contributed $526,552 in 2004 and $525,224
for both of the years 2003 and 2002. 

As the debt is repaid, ESOP shares that were pledged as collateral
for  the  debt  are  committed  to  be  released  from  collateral  and
allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of debt service
paid in the year. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance
with  Statement  of  Position  93-6,  Employers’  Accounting  for  Employee
Stock Ownership Plans. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are
reported as unearned ESOP shares in stockholders’ equity. As shares
are determined to be ratably released from collateral, the Company
reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of

the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share
computations.  ESOP  compensation  benefit  expense  was  $670,112,
$472,108 and $418,700 respectively, for 2004, 2003 and 2002. 

All employees of the Bank are eligible to participate in the ESOP
after they attain age 21 and complete one year of service during which
they  worked  at  least  1,000  hours.  A  summary  of  the  ESOP  share
allocation is as follows for the years ended:

In June 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option and
Incentive Plan (1995 Plan). In April of 2002, options for 15,000
shares were granted to a director at an exercise price of $16.25. All
options issued under this plan vest over a five year period and expire
10 years from the grant date. The 1995 Plan terminates on April
25, 2005, and no more options may be granted from the plan after
that  date.  Outstanding  options  granted  prior  to  the  termination
date may be exercised for ten years after their date of grant.

In March 2001, the Company adopted the HMN Financial, Inc.
2001 Omnibus Stock Plan (2001 Plan). The purpose of the 2001
Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders
by  providing  key  personnel  with  an  opportunity  to  acquire  a
proprietary interest in the Company and reward them for achieving
a high level of corporate performance and thereby develop a stronger
incentive to put forth maximum effort for the success and growth of
the Company. The total number of shares of HMN common stock
available for distribution under the 2001 Plan in either restricted
stock or stock options was 400,000 subject to adjustment for future
stock  splits,  stock  dividends  and  similar  changes  to  the
capitalization  of  the  Company.  In  April  2002,  the  Company
awarded 212,410 options at $16.13 per share which vest beginning
in  April  of  2008  through  April  of  2012.  In  February  of  2004,
options for 5,000 shares of common stock were granted to an officer
at  an  exercise  price  of  $27.64.  These  options  vest  beginning  in
February  of  2005  through  February  of  2008.  In  March  of  2004,
options for 20,000 shares of common stock were issued to certain
officers at an exercise price of $27.66. These options vest beginning
in March of 2005 through March of 2007. In July of 2004 options
for 15,000 shares of common stock were issued to a director at an
exercise  price  of  $26.98.  These  options  vest  beginning  in  July  of
2005 through July of 2009.

The  Company  uses  the  intrinsic  value  method  as  described  in
APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations to account for its
stock incentive plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been
recognized  for  the  option  plans.  Proceeds  from  stock  options
exercised  are  credited  to  common  stock  and  additional  paid-in
capital. There are no charges or credits to expense with respect to the
granting or exercise of options since the options were issued at fair
value on the respective grant dates. Had compensation cost for the
Company’s  stock-based  plan  been  determined  in  accordance  with
the  fair  value  method  recommended  by  SFAS  No.  123,  the
Company’s  net  income  and  earnings  per  share  would  have  been
adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The preceding disclosed pro forma effects of applying SFAS No.
123 to compensation costs may not be representative of the effects
on reported pro forma net income for future years.

On January 25, 2005 the Company declared a cash dividend of
$0.22 per share payable on March 7, 2005, to stockholders of record
on February 18, 2005. The annualized dividend payout ratios for
2004,  2003,  and  2002  were  36.36%,  39.58%,  and  57.63%,
respectively.

The  Company’s  certificate  of  incorporation  authorizes  the
issuance of up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock, but to date no
shares have been issued.

In  order  to  grant  a  priority  to  eligible  accountholders  in  the
event  of  future  liquidation,  the  Bank,  at  the  time  of  conversion
established a liquidation account equal to its regulatory capital as of
September 30, 1993. In the event of future liquidation of the Bank,
an eligible accountholder who continues to maintain their deposit
account  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  a  distribution  from  the
liquidation  account.  The  total  amount  of  the  liquidation  account
will  be  decreased  as  the  balance  of  eligible  accountholders  are
reduced  subsequent  to  the  conversion,  based  on  an  annual
determination of such balance. 

The  Bank  may  not  declare  or  pay  a  cash  dividend  to  the
Company without filing a capital distribution application with the
OTS if the total amount of the dividends for the year exceeds the
Bank’s net income for the year plus the Bank’s retained net income
for  the  preceding  two  years.  Additional  limitations  on  dividends
declared or paid on, or repurchases of, the Bank’s capital stock are
tied  to  the  Bank’s  level  of  compliance  with  its  regulatory  capital
requirements.

NOTE 19  Federal Home Loan Bank Investment and Regulatory

Capital Requirements 
The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, is
required to hold a specified number of shares of capital stock, which
is carried at cost, in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines.
The Bank has met the requirements as of December 31, 2004.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered  by  the  federal  banking  agencies.  Failure  to  meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and
possibly  additional  discretionary  actions  by  regulators  that,  if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s
financial  statements.  Under  capital  adequacy  guidelines  and  the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must
meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures
of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated  under  regulatory  accounting  practices.  The  Bank’s
capital  amounts  and  classification  are  also  subject  to  qualitative
judgments  by  the  regulators  about  components,  risk  weightings,
and other factors.

Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulations  to  ensure
capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts
and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Tier I or Core capital,
and Risk-based capital (as defined in the regulations) to total assets
(as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2004 and
2003,  that  the  Bank  meets  all  capital  adequacy  requirements  to
which it is subject.

Management  believes  that  based  upon  the  Bank’s  capital
calculations at December 31, 2004 and 2003 and other conditions
consistent  with  the  Prompt  Corrective  Actions  Provisions  of  the
OTS regulations, the Bank would be categorized as well capitalized.

NOTE 20  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.  These  financial  instruments  include
commitments  to  extend  credit.  These  instruments  involve,  to
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of
the amounts recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts
of  these  instruments  reflect  the  extent  of  involvement  by  the
Company.

The  Company’s  exposure  to  credit  loss  in  the  event  of
nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for
commitments  to  extend  credit  is  represented  by  the  contract
amount of these commitments. The Company uses the same credit
policies  in  making  commitments  as  it  does  for  on-balance  sheet
instruments.

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 generally have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since
a portion of the commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn  upon,  the  total  commitment  amounts  do  not  necessarily
represent  future  cash  requirements.  The  Bank  evaluates  each
customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension
of  credit,  is  based  on  the  loan  type  and  on  management’s  credit
evaluation  of  the  borrower.  Collateral  consists  primarily  of
residential and commercial real estate and personal property.

Commitments  of  a  counter  party  to  purchase  loans  represents
commitments  to  sell  loans  to  FNMA  and  are  entered  into  in  the
normal course of business by the Bank.

The  Bank  entered  into  two  guaranty  agreements  with  third
parties in order for Home Federal Mortgage Services, LLC (HFMS)
to  secure  loan  purchase  agreements.  Under  the  agreements,  the
Bank guaranteed to satisfy and discharge all obligations of HFMS
arising from transactions entered into between HFMS and the third
parties if HFMS failed to fulfill its obligations. The agreements are
in effect until the obligations of HFMS are fully satisfied and the
Bank’s guaranty is limited to a combined maximum of $3 million.
No  liability  has  been  recorded  in  the  consolidated  financial
statements of the Company for these guarantees and the Company is
not aware of any outstanding obligations of HFMS to either of the
third  parties  with  whom  a  guarantee  exists.  HFMS  ceased  doing
business  with  both  third  parties  in  2002.  There  is  the  possibility
that  the  Bank  would  be  required  to  purchase  loans  that  were
previously sold to the third parties by HFMS prior to 2002 if the
loans  did  not  meet  the  requirements  in  the  loan  purchase

N O T E S   T O   C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

agreements. If this were to occur, the proceeds from the subsequent
sale of these loans would enable the Bank to recover a portion of the
amounts paid under the guaranty. 

The  Bank  issued  standby  letters  of  credit  which  guarantee  the
performance  of  customers  to  third  parties.  The  standby  letters  of
credit outstanding at December 31, 2004 expire over the next 30
months and totaled $1.6 million at December 31, 2004 and $2.5
million  at  December  31,  2003.  The  letters  of  credit  were
collateralized  primarily  with  commercial  real  estate  mortgages.
Since the conditions under which the Bank is required to fund the
standby letters of credit may not materialize, the cash requirements
are expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments. 

NOTE 21  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The  Company  originates  and  purchases  single  family  residential
loans  for  sale  into  the  secondary  market  and  enters  into
commitments to sell or securitize those loans in order to mitigate
the interest rate risk associated with holding the loans until they are
sold.  The  Company  adopted  SFAS  No.  133,  Accounting  for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, in the first quarter
of  2001.  At  the  beginning  of  the  second  quarter  of  2001,  certain
commitments to sell loans held for sale were designated as a cash
flow  hedge  of  a  forecasted  transaction  and  were  accounted  for  in
accordance with SFAS No. 133 with no ineffectiveness recognized in
the  income  statement.  In  the  second  quarter  of  2002  cash  flow
hedge  accounting  was  discontinued  because  the  Company  ceased
delivering  loans  under  a  mortgage  backed  security  program.  The
mortgage  banking  operations  in  the  Brooklyn  Park  location  were
eliminated  in  2002  and  some  of  the  activity  was  moved  to  other
branches within the Company. 

The Company has commitments outstanding to extend credit to
future borrowers that had not closed prior to the end of the quarter,
which is referred to as its mortgage pipeline. As commitments to
originate loans enter the mortgage pipeline, the Company generally
enters into commitments to sell the loans into the secondary market.
The commitments to originate and sell loans are derivatives that are
recorded at market value. As a result of marking these derivatives to
market  for  the  period  ended  December  31,  2004  the  Company

recorded a decrease in other assets of $13,435, a decrease in other
liabilities of $12,244, and a net gain on the sale of loans of $1,191. 
As of December 31, 2004 the commitments to sell loans held for
sale are derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a
result,  these  derivatives  are  marked  to  market.  The  loans  held  for
sale that are not hedged are recorded at the lower of cost or market.
As a result of marking these loans, the Company recorded a decrease
in loans held for sale of $8,582, an increase in other assets of $9,882,
and a net increase in other liabilities of $1,300

NOTE 22  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments,
requires  disclosure  of  estimated  fair  values  of  the  Company’s
financial  instruments,  including  assets,  liabilities  and  off-balance
sheet items for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair
value estimates are made as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 based
upon  relevant  market  information,  if  available,  and  upon  the
characteristics of the financial instruments themselves. Because no
market  exists  for  a  significant  portion  of  the  Company’s  financial
instruments,  fair  value  estimates  are  based  upon  judgments
regarding  future  expected  loss  experience,  current  economic
conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and
other  factors.  The  estimates  are  subjective  in  nature  and  involve
uncertainties  and  matters  of  significant  judgment  and  therefore
cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.

Fair  value  estimates  are  based  only  on  existing  financial
instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated
future  business  or  the  value  of  assets  and  liabilities  that  are  not
considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications
related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have
a  significant  effect  on  the  fair  value  estimates  and  have  not  been
considered in any of the estimates.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments
are shown below. Following the table, there is an explanation of the
methods  and  assumptions  used  to  estimate  the  fair  value  of  each
class of financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents  The carrying amount of cash and cash
equivalents approximates their fair value.

Securities Available for Sale  The fair values of securities were based
upon quoted market prices.

Loans Held for Sale  The fair values of loans held for sale were based
upon quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates and
terms to maturity.

Loans Receivable  The fair values of loans receivable were estimated
for groups of loans with similar characteristics. The fair value of the
loan  portfolio,  with  the  exception  of  the  adjustable  rate  portfolio,
was calculated by discounting the scheduled cash flows through the
estimated maturity using anticipated prepayment speeds and using
discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent
in each loan portfolio. The fair value of the adjustable loan portfolio
was estimated by grouping the loans with similar characteristics and
comparing the characteristics of each group to the prices quoted for
similar types of loans in the secondary market.

Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  Stock    The  carrying  amount  of  FHLB
stock approximates its fair value.

Accrued Interest Receivable  The carrying amount of accrued interest
receivable approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature
and does not present unanticipated credit concerns.

Deposits  Under SFAS No. 107, the fair value of deposits with no
stated  maturity  such  as  checking,  savings  and  money  market
accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value

of  certificates  of  deposit  is  based  on  the  discounted  value  of
contractual  cash  flows  using  as  discount  rates  the  rates  that  were
offered  by  the  Company  as  of  December  31,  2004  and  2003  for
deposits with maturities similar to the remaining maturities of the
existing certificates of deposit.

The fair value estimate for deposits does not include the benefit
that results from the low cost funding provided by the Company’s
existing deposits and long-term customer relationships compared to
the  cost  of  obtaining  different  sources  of  funding.  This  benefit  is
commonly referred to as the core deposit intangible.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances  The fair values of advances with
fixed maturities are estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis
using  as  discount  rates  the  interest  rates  charged  by  the  FHLB  at
December 31, 2004 and 2003 for borrowings of similar remaining
maturities.

Accrued Interest Payable  The carrying amount of accrued interest
payable approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature.

Commitments to Extend Credit  The fair values of commitments to
extend  credit  for  2004  and  2003  are  estimated  using  the  fees
normally  charged  to  enter  into  similar  agreements,  taking  into
account  the  remaining  terms  of  the  agreements  and  the  present
creditworthiness of the counter parties.

Commitments to Sell Loans  The fair values of commitments to sell
loans  for  2004  and  2003  are  estimated  using  the  quoted  market
prices for loans with similar interest rates and terms to maturity.

NOTE 24  Business Segments
The  Bank  has  been  identified  as  a  reportable  operating  segment  in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 131. SFC and HMN, the
holding  company,  did  not  meet  the  quantitative  thresholds  for  a
reportable segment and therefore are included in the “Other” category.
Prior  to  2003,  Home  Federal  Mortgage  Services,  (HFMS)  was
reported  as  a  separate  business  segment.  HFMS  discontinued
operations in 2002 and has been dissolved. Its segmented information
has been included in the “Home Federal Savings Bank” category to
conform with the current year presentation. 

The  Company  evaluates  performance  and  allocates  resources
based  on  the  segment’s  net  income,  return  on  average  assets  and
return  on  average  equity.  Each  corporation  is  managed  separately
with its own officers and board of directors.

The  following  table  sets  forth  certain  information  about  the
reconciliations  of  reported  net  income  and  assets  for  each  of  the
Company’s reportable segments.

The Board of Directors

HMN Financial, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HMN Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,

2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash

flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the

responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial

statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United

States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial

statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts

and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant

estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits

provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial

position of HMN Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and

their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally

accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United

States), the effectiveness of HMN Financial Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on

Internal  Control  —  Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway

Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 8, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of,

and the effective operation of, internal control over financial reporting.
