HMN Financial is a strong bank, boasting a 74-year legacy of exceptional customer service and a
commitment to the greater Minnesota and Iowa communities we serve. However, the decline of the
national — and international — economy made 2008 an extremely challenging year. All business
segments felt the impact of the bursting housing bubble, and the financial services industry was hit
especially hard. When the bottom fell out of the housing and mortgage market, the resulting ripple
effect was felt throughout the economy. It impacted even the most experienced and successful
borrowers. While HMN was not directly involved with subprime lending practices, it certainly has not
been immune to the economic downturn. Like many other investors, HMN was also a victim of one of
the growing number of financial fraud schemes being uncovered across the country.

The Board and management acted swiftly in response to the worsening economic environment. HMN
leadership quickly — and prudently — initiated steps to shore up liquidity and capital, and to improve
policies and procedures to address the impact of increasing non-performing loans. These actions
remain critical in positioning HMN to weather this economic storm and emerge an even stronger
organization.

In January 2009, CEO Mike McNeil resigned after leading HMN for 10 years. During his tenure,
Mike helped guide the company through record growth and earnings as it transitioned from a
traditional thrift to a commercial bank. He also built an experienced and competent senior
management team that is well positioned to lead the bank through these challenging economic times.
The Board thanks Mike for his many contributions to HMN and wishes him well.

The recent leadership transition provides HMN the opportunity to assess its strategic direction under
new leadership. The Board was fortunate to have Brad Krehbiel ready and willing to take over as
President of Home Federal Savings Bank. Brad has a wealth of banking experience with the added
benefit of knowing the bank’s culture, its customers and the communities it serves. In this difficult
economy, Brad has the capabilities and leadership to move the bank forward, and the Board is
working with him and senior management to return HMN to profitability.

Though 2008 proved to be a challenging year, HMN grew tremendously in recent years. The bank has
$1 billion in assets, and has a robust team of employees who continue to uphold a strong customer
service tradition.

Thank you for your investment in and continued support of HMN.

Regards,

Timothy Geisler
Chairman of the Board

Home Federal Savings Bank is at a pivotal intersection to leverage its growth
and achievements from previous years to overcome the challenging economic
conditions of today. I am honored that the Board of Directors has given me the
opportunity to navigate through this time as President of the Bank. I join our
Board members and my fellow employees in expressing our sincere appreciation
for the contributions Mike McNeil brought to our organization during his
10 years with the Company. I assure you that I share the passion that he
demonstrated for building this company and serving our customers.

In spite of the troubling economic climate we find ourselves in, my decision to accept the offer to lead
this organization was easy. HMN has an exceptionally talented and experienced senior leadership
team, and together, we are implementing strategic actions to safeguard the Bank during our national
economic crisis. I have observed our team deal with significant setbacks this past year, but —
remarkably and not unexpectedly — see them return to the task at hand with stronger determination
and resolve. These individuals head up a staff of dedicated and passionate employees who live, work
and volunteer in the communities we serve. Our team’s collective Midwestern work ethic, combined
with a clear understanding of the needs of our customers, position HMN to return to a level of
financial performance that our stakeholders and employees have come to expect and deserve.

As I look back at 2008, we can be proud of many accomplishments. As always, the experience our
customers have at the Bank’s 16 locations drives our priorities. During the year, our staff worked
countless hours preparing for a core data processing system conversion. In October, our new system
went live, providing our customers with cost-effective and state-of-the-art online banking and cash-
management products. It also enables us to develop and launch new banking products much faster
than in our previous outsourced vendor environment. New, successful branch locations add to our list
of milestones. We celebrated the first anniversary of our Eagan, Minnesota, branch. In one short year,
this branch grew to more than $20 million in core deposits. In August, we opened our newest branch
located in the 19th Street Financial Center in Rochester, Minnesota which will help us to continue to
increase our core deposit base in our primary market.

Looking ahead, 2009 marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of Home Federal Savings Bank by
John Osterud. Launching a financial institution in 1934 undoubtedly took courage and vision.
Mr. Osterud did not embark on this project alone. To the contrary, he engaged the help and
cooperation of his trusted employees — something I plan to do as well, as I take over this leadership
role.

With Regards,

Bradley Krehbiel
President
Home Federal Savings Bank

OVERVIEW
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, private
banking and loan production offices in southern Minnesota
and Iowa. The earnings of the Company are primarily
dependent on the Bank’s net interest income, which is
the difference between interest earned on 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

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. Net interest income and net interest rate spread
are affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and
and interest-bearing
mix of
liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. The
Company’s
spread declined in 2008
primarily because of the 400 basis point decrease in the
prime interest rate that occurred during the year. The
decrease in the prime interest rate resulted in the yields
on interest earning assets declining more rapidly than the
rates on interest bearing liabilities due to the lagging effect
of deposit rate changes. Interest income was also adversely
affected in 2008 by the increase in non-performing assets
during the year. 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 of mortgage servicing assets. Over the past
several years, the Company has increased the emphasis on
commercial business and commercial real estate loans,
which has increased the credit risk inherent in the loan
portfolio. While HMN did not originate or hold subprime
mortgages in its loan portfolio, purchase investments
backed by subprime mortgages, or
incur any write
downs directly related to subprime mortgages, subprime
credit issues indirectly impacted the Company by making it
more difficult for some borrowers with marginal credit to
qualify for a mortgage because most of the non-traditional
mortgage products were eliminated by the banks and
mortgage companies that were previously offering them.
This decrease in available credit reduced the demand for
single family homes as there were fewer qualified buyers in
the marketplace. The decrease in demand for housing and
building lots affected our level of charge offs and the risk
ratings on some of our residential development loans.
Consequently, the provision for loan losses has increased
loan charge offs and risk rating
due to commercial
downgrades due primarily to decreased demand for
housing and building and a general decline in the
economic conditions in our markets.

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

each non-performing loan, the Company also performs
an individual analysis of impairment that is based on the
expected cash flows or

portfolios is calculated on a pooled basis with individual
determination of the allowance for all non-performing

the

Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan
and Lease Losses that was issued by federal financial
regulatory agencies in December 2006.

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. The
loan categories
allowance is allocated to individual
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 based on current
conditions 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
conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated
in determining the allowance for
loan losses and
adjustments may be required in the future.

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 fair value of the servicing rights on the date the
mortgage loans are 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,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. 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

6

that

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 MSR’s
may have a material effect on the amortization and
the
valuation of MSRs. Management believes
assumptions used and the values determined are
reasonable based on current conditions. However, future
economic conditions may differ substantially from those
anticipated in determining the value of the MSRs and
adjustments may be
future. 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. The amount of MSRs
capitalized continues to decline as the Company sells the
servicing rights along with the loans for the majority of its
single family loans that are sold.

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future
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.

Results of Operations
The net loss was $10.1 million for 2008, a decrease of
$21.4 million compared to net income of $11.3 million for
2007. Diluted loss per common share for the year ended
December 31, 2008 was $2.78, down $5.67 from the $2.89
of diluted earnings per common share for the year ended
December 31, 2007. Return on average assets was (0.91)%
and 1.03% and return on average equity was (10.61)% and
11.53% for 2008 and 2007, respectively.
In comparing 2008 to 2007,

the decrease in net
income is due primarily to a $22.8 million increase in
the loan loss provision between the periods as a result of
increased commercial loan loss reserves and charge offs,
including a $12.0 million charge off in the third quarter of
2008 because of apparent fraudulent activities related to the
collateral of one loan. Results in 2008 were also adversely
affected by a $5.0 million decrease in net interest income
and a $3.8 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $33.7 million for 2008, a decrease
of $5.0 million, or 12.9%, from $38.7 million for 2007.
Interest income was $66.5 million for 2008, a decrease of
$11.0 million, or 14.2%, from $77.5 million for 2007.
Interest
income decreased primarily because of a
decrease in the average yields earned on loans and
investments. The decreased average yields were the
result of the 400 basis point decrease in the prime
interest rate between the periods. Decreases in the prime
rate, which is the rate that banks charge their prime
business customers, generally decrease the rates on
adjustable rate consumer and commercial loans in the
portfolio and on new loans originated. Interest income
was also adversely affected by the increase in non-
performing loans between the periods which resulted in
a $3.6 million reduction in interest income and reduced the
yield on interest earning assets by 33 basis points in 2008.
The decrease in average yields was partially offset by an
increase of $60.2 million in average net loans receivable
between the periods. The average yield earned on interest-
earning assets was 6.23% for 2008, a decrease of 112 basis
points from the 7.35% average yield for 2007. Interest
expense was $32.8 million for 2008, a decrease of
$6.0 million, or 15.5%, from $38.8 million for 2007.
Interest expense decreased primarily because of lower
interest
rates paid on commercial money market
accounts and certificates of deposits. The decreased rates
were the result of the 400 basis point decrease in the federal
funds rate that occurred between the periods. The effect on
our deposits of decreases in the federal funds rate generally

7

M A N A G E M E N T D I S C U S S I O N A N D A N A L Y S I S

lags the effect on our assets. The lagging effect of deposit
rate changes is primarily due to the Bank’s deposits that are
in the form of certificates of deposit, which do not re-price
immediately when the federal funds rate changes. The
decrease in rates due to changes in the federal funds rate
was partially offset by an increased use of brokered
deposits during the period which typically have higher
interest rates than other types of deposits. The average
interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 3.27%
for 2008, a decrease of 64 basis points from the 3.91% paid

for 2007. Net interest margin (net interest income divided
by average interest earning assets) for 2008 was 3.16%, a
decrease of 51 basis points, compared to 3.67% for 2007.
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.

Tax exempt income was not significant; therefore, the yield was not presented on a tax equivalent basis for any of the years presented. The tax-exempt
income was $1,014,000 for 2008, $1,015,000 for 2007 and $1,248,000 for 2006.
(2) Calculated net of deferred loan fees, loan discounts, loans in process and loss reserve.

Net interest margin decreased to 3.16% in 2008 from
3.67% in 2007 primarily because the cost of interest
bearing liabilities decreased at a slower rate than the
yield on interest earning assets due to the lagging effect
of deposit price changes in relation to loan price changes.
Net interest margin was also negatively impacted by a
change in the deposit mix as a larger percentage of deposits
were in higher priced brokered certificates of deposits in
2008 when compared to 2007. Brokered deposits increased

in 2008 as they were used to replace scheduled money
market withdrawals on escrow deposits received in 2007.
Average net interest-earning assets were $121.3 million in
2008 compared to $117.8 million for 2007. Net interest-
earning assets increased primarily because of an increase in
cash from operations and were reduced by the purchase of
premises and equipment, net disbursements on loans held
for sale, repurchase of HMN common stock, the payment
of dividends and the transfer of loans to real estate. During

8

2008 and 2007, the Company purchased premises and
equipment of $3.8 million and $2.6 million, paid
$0.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, to purchase
its common stock in the open market and paid dividends to
stockholders of $2.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

an increase of $22.8 million, from $3.9 million for 2007.
The provision for loan losses increased $12.0 million as the
result of a commercial loan that was charged off in the third
quarter of 2008 due to the apparent fraudulent activities

Other non-interest

income decreased $951,000
between 2008 and 2007 due primarily to a decrease on
the gains recognized on the sale of repossessed commercial
property between the periods. Gain on sales of loans
decreased $863,000 between 2008 and 2007 due
primarily to a decrease in the gains
realized on
commercial government guaranteed loans that were sold.
Loan servicing fees decreased $99,000 between the periods

due primarily to a decrease in the single-family mortgage
loans being serviced because most of the mortgage loans
being sold into the secondary market with the servicing
released. Fees and service charges increased $794,000
between the periods primarily because of increased retail
deposit account activity and fees. Security gains increased
$479,000 because of increased investment sales.

A goodwill impairment charge of $3.8 million was

$54,000 primarily because of
the additional costs
associated with a new branch that was opened in Eagan
in the third quarter of 2007 and a new branch that was
opened in Rochester in the third quarter of 2008. Data
processing costs increased $128,000 primarily because of
increased expenses related to the data processing system
conversion that took place in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Amortization of mortgage servicing rights decreased
$136,000 due to a decrease in single-family mortgage
loans being serviced as the Bank continues to sell the
servicing rights along with the loans for the majority of
its single family loans that are sold. Advertising expense
decreased $120,000 between the periods due primarily to a
decrease in promotional event sponsorships. Compensation
expense decreased $27,000 between the periods as pay
increases were offset entirely by decreases in incentives
and pension costs related to the Company’s ESOP plan.

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
assets and liabilities. The income tax benefit was
$5.0 million for 2008, a decrease of $12.3 million

compared to $7.3 million in income tax expense for
2007. Income taxes decreased between the periods due
to a decrease in taxable income and an effective income tax
rate that decreased from 39.3% for 2007 to 33.0% for 2008.
The difference in the effective rates between the periods is
primarily related to the $3.8 million goodwill impairment
charge recorded during the year as it is not tax deductible
and therefore no tax benefit was recorded.

difference between the tax position recognized in
accordance with the Interpretation and the amount
previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
The provisions of FIN 48 were adopted by the Company on
January 1, 2007 and as a result, the Company recognized a
$250,000 increase in its liability recorded for tax exposure
reserves for unrecognized tax benefits upon adoption. The
adjustment was recorded as a reduction to the January 1,
2007 retained earnings balance and an increase in tax
liability in accordance with the requirements of FIN 48.

The Company is located in Minnesota and files a state
income tax return with the Minnesota Department of
Revenue (MDR). In January 2007, the MDR proposed
adjustments of $2.2 million to the Company’s Minnesota
state tax liability related to the tax treatment of the inter-

company dividends paid to the Bank by a former subsidiary
in 2002, 2003 and 2004. The Company is challenging the
proposed adjustments and a Minnesota Tax Court hearing
was held in the fourth quarter of 2008 and a ruling is
anticipated in the second quarter of 2009. A tax exposure
reserve has been established based on a range of probable
outcomes, however, the final liability will depend on the
ultimate resolution of this issue. In 2005, Minnesota state
tax laws were changed and the Company’s Minnesota tax
filings subsequent to 2004 do not have exposure relating to
the treatment of the inter-company dividend payments.

Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Shareholders
On December 23, 2008, the Company sold preferred stock
and a related warrant to the United States Treasury for
$26.0 million. The preferred shares are entitled to a 5%
annual cumulative dividend for each of the first five years
of the investment, increasing to 9% thereafter, unless HMN
redeems the shares. The cumulative preferred dividends
payable will be $325,000 each quarter for the first five

also because the average yields earned on loans and
investments increased between the periods. The increase
in average interest earning assets was the result of a
$66 million increase in the average outstanding loans and
a $51 million increase in the average outstanding cash and
investments between the periods. The
in
outstanding loans was primarily in commercial business
and commercial construction loans. The increase in cash
and investments was the result of obtaining collateralized
deposit relationships that required the purchase of additional
investments in order to collateralize the deposits and
maintain adequate liquidity. Yields increased primarily
because of the 100 basis point
increase in the prime
interest rate that occurred during the first six months of
2006 that remained in effect until September 2007. Increases
in the prime rate generally increase the rates on adjustable
rate consumer and commercial loans in the portfolio and on
new loans and investments. The yield earned on interest-
earning assets was 7.35% for 2007, an increase of 14 basis
points from the 7.21% yield for 2006. Interest expense was
$38.8 million for 2007, an increase of $10.0 million from
$28.8 million for 2006. Interest expense increased primarily
because of higher interest rates paid on commercial money
market accounts and certificates of deposits. The increased
rates were the result of the 100 basis point increase in federal
funds rate that occurred throughout the first six months of
2006 that was not fully reflected in deposit rates until the
second half of 2006. The effect on our deposits of increases
in the federal funds rate generally lags the effect on our
assets. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities was 3.91% for 2007, an increase of 63 basis points
from the 3.28% paid for 2006. Net interest margin for 2007
was 3.67%, a decrease of 46 basis points, compared to
4.13% for 2006.

Net interest margin decreased to 3.67% in 2007 from
4.13% for 2006 primarily because the cost of interest
bearing liabilities increased at a faster rate than the yield
on interest bearing assets due to the lagging effect of
deposit price changes in relation to loan price changes.
The prime interest rate increased 100 basis points in the
first 6 months of 2006 and these increases were not
reflected in the deposit rates until the latter half of 2006
and early 2007. Net interest margin was also negatively
impacted by a change in the deposit mix as a larger
percentage of deposits were in higher priced brokered
certificates of deposits in 2007 when compared to 2006.
The use of brokered deposits was increased in 2007 as they
were used to fund commercial loan growth and replace
maturing Federal Home Loan Bank advances in order to
improve the Bank’s liquidity position. Average net interest-
earning assets were $62.8 million in 2007 compared to
interest-earning assets
$58.6 million for 2006. Net

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 $3.9 million for 2007, a
decrease of $5.0 million from $8.9 million for 2006. The
provision for loan losses decreased primarily because
$7.4 million
estate
development loans were charged off in 2006 compared
to loan charge offs of $1.7 million in 2007. The decrease in
the provision related to loan charge offs was partially offset
by an increase in the provision for the $77 million increase
in the outstanding commercial loans between the periods
and by the $1.7 million increase in the reserves established
on non-accrual loans. Total non-performing assets were
$21.9 million at December 31, 2007, an increase of
$11.5 million, or 110.4%,
from $10.4 million at
December 31, 2006.

Non-interest income was $7.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 2007, an increase of $1.2 million from
$6.4 million for 2006. Fees and service charges earned in
2007 increased $28,000 from those earned in 2006
primarily because of an increase in retail deposit account
activity and fees. Loan servicing fees decreased $118,000
between the periods due primarily to a decrease in the
single-family mortgage loans being serviced. Single-
family loan servicing fees decreased $112,000 due to a
decrease in the number of single-family loans that were
serviced for others. The number of
loans serviced
decreased because most of the servicing rights on the
loans originated in 2007 were sold along with the loans.
Commercial loan servicing fees decreased $6,000 as a
result of a small decrease in loans serviced for others.
The Bank continues to sell off participations in, but retains
the servicing responsibilities

to adhere to regulatory
commercial
lending limits and manage credit
risk within the
portfolio. Security gains decreased $48,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2007 due to decreased security sales.
The ability to realize gains on the sale of securities is
dependent upon the type of securities in the portfolio and
on changes in the general interest rate environment. No
investments were sold in 2007 because the rising interest
limited the
rate environment
opportunity to sell securities at a gain. Gain on sales of

for most of

the year

loans increased $259,000 in 2007. Gain on sales of single-
family loans decreased $316,000 due to a decrease in the
number of single-family loans sold and a decrease in the
profit margins realized on the loans that were sold.
Competition in the single-family loan origination market
remained strong in 2007 as the overall market slowed and
profit margins were lowered in order to remain competitive
and maintain origination volume. Government guaranteed
commercial loan sale gains increased $575,000 in 2007 due
primarily to the gain recognized on the sale of an
$8.7 million USDA guaranteed loan. 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 2007,
other non-interest income increased $1.0 million primarily
because of increased gains on the sale of real estate owned
that was partially offset by decreased sales of financial
planning and insurance products.

Non-interest expense for 2007 was $23.8 million, an
increase of $1.2 million, compared to $22.6 million for
2006. Non-interest expense increased in 2007 primarily
because of a $622,000 increase in compensation and
benefits expense due to annual salary and incentive
compensation increases. Occupancy expense increased
$32,000 primarily because of
the additional costs
associated with the new Eagan branch that was opened
in the third quarter of 2007. Data processing costs increased
$84,000 primarily because of increased internet and other
banking services provided by a third party processor.
Amortization of mortgage servicing rights decreased
$142,000 due to a decrease in single-family mortgage
loans being serviced when compared to 2006. Other
expense
non-interest
primarily
increased
because of
fees and other expenses

relating to foreclosed assets.

$563,000

Income tax expense increased between the periods
due to an increase in taxable income and an effective tax
rate that increased from 38.3% for 2006 to 39.3% for 2007.
The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily the
result of increased taxable income and changes in state tax
allocations.

In 2008, the Company continued to manage interest
rate risk and increase interest income by increasing its
investments in shorter term and generally higher yielding
commercial real estate loans. Based on declining loan
demand and the Company’s focus on improving credit
quality, it is anticipated that the size of our commercial
real estate and commercial business portfolios will
decrease in 2009. It is also anticipated that traditional
conforming one-to-four family mortgage loan balances
will be maintained at current levels in 2009. HMN does
not originate or hold subprime mortgages in our loan
portfolio and does not purchase or hold investments

portfolio. However, subprime credit issues continued to
indirectly impact the Company in 2008 by making it more
difficult for some borrowers with marginal credit to qualify
for a mortgage, as most non-traditional mortgage products
have been eliminated by the banks and mortgage
companies that were previously offering them. This
decrease in available credit reduced the demand for
single family homes as there were fewer qualified
buyers in the marketplace. The decrease in demand for
housing and building lots affected the risk ratings on some
loans. The economic

ultimately was reflected in the $44.5 million increase in
non-performing loans during 2008. Of the $44.5 million
non-performing loan increase, $15.9 million were related
to borrowers that had invested in or were otherwise
negatively impacted by alleged fraudulent activities of a
third party. While we believe we have adequately provided
for any probable losses on our non-performing loans, we
recognize that it will take time in the current economic
environment to liquidate many of the assets due to limited
demand for the properties. Where feasible, we continue to
work with the borrowers in order to get

2008, but more of the loans that were originated were
placed in portfolio as compared to prior periods. The
increase in the amount of mortgage loans placed in

Home equity line balances were $52.2 million at

written with an adjustable rate and a 10 year draw period
which requires “interest only” payments followed by 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 $22.9 million at

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

The allocation of the allowance for loan losses
increased in 2008 for one-to-four family due primarily
to the increased specific reserves established on a non-
performing single family loan at December 31, 2008. The
allocation of the allowance for loan losses increased in
2008 for consumer loans due primarily to an increase in the
reserve for unclassified loans based on management’s

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

16

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 $0 at December 31, 2008
and 2007.

Non-performing Assets
Loans are reviewed at least quarterly and any loan whose
collectability 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 collectability of the loan. Restructured loans
include the Bank’s

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 are comprised of non-accrual
loans, delinquent accounts receivable, real estate acquired
through foreclosure and repossessed assets and totaled
$74.8 million at December 31, 2008, compared to
$21.9 million at December 31, 2007. The $52.9 million
increase in non-performing assets at December 31, 2008
relates primarily to a $44.5 million increase in non-
performing loans and an $8.4 million increase in
foreclosed and repossessed assets. The non-performing
loan activity for the year included $77.5 million in
additional non-performing loans, $17.4 million in loan
charge offs, $3.4 million in loans that were reclassified
to performing, $10.3 million in loans that were transferred
into real estate owned, and $1.9 million in principal
payments were received on non-performing loans.

For 2008, 2007 and 2006, gross interest income which
would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been
current in accordance with their original terms amounted to
$5.5 million, $1.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
The amounts that were included in interest income on a
cash basis for these loans were $1.9 million, $1.0 million
and $0.6 million, respectively.

In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in
the table above of all non-performing assets, as of
December 31, 2008,
there were four other potential
problem loans and five loans for which the interest rates
were modified in a troubled debt restructuring in 2008.
in
Potential problem loans are loans
nonperforming status; however, there are circumstances
present to create doubt as to the ability of the borrower to
comply with present repayment terms. The decision of
to include performing loans in potential
management
problem loans does not necessarily mean that
the
Company expects losses to occur but that management
recognized a higher degree of risk associated with these
loans. The level of potential problem loans is another
predominant factor in determining the relative level of
the allowance for loan losses. The loans that have been
reported as potential problem loans at December 31, 2008
are single family mortgage and equity loans totaling
$2.0 million. There was one potential problem loan
related to a residential development totaling $9.1 million
at December 31, 2007. The loans that were modified in
2008 totaled $8.2 million and related to residential
development and builder construction loans. These loans
were not classified as non-performing as it is anticipated
that the borrowers will be able to make all of the required
principal and interest payments under the modified terms
of the loan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
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 Federal Home
Loan Bank (FHLB) or the Federal Reserve.

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. Unpledged
securities could also be pledged and used as collateral for
additional borrowings with the FHLB or Federal Reserve 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 11 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information on additional advances that could be drawn
based upon existing collateral levels with the FHLB and the
Federal Reserve. Information on outstanding advance
maturities and related early call features is also included
in Note 11. In 2008, the United States Treasury also
invested $26.0 million in preferred stock and a related
warrant.

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
months that are readily convertible to known amounts of

18

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, 2008 were
$15.7 million, a decrease of $8.0 million, compared to
$23.7 million at December 31, 2007. Net cash provided by
operating activities during 2008 was $18.4 million. The
Company conducted the following major
investing
activities during 2008: principal payments and maturity
proceeds received on securities available for sale and
FHLB stock were $123.3 million, purchases of securities
available for sale and FHLB stock were $121.6 million,
proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were
$10.4 million and loans receivable increased $78.7 million.
The Company spent $3.8 million for the purchase of land,
equipment and updating its premises. Net cash used by
investing activities during 2008 was $70.2 million. The
Company conducted the following major
financing
activities during 2008: purchased treasury stock of
$0.7 million, paid $2.7 million in dividends to HMN
stockholders, received proceeds from advances totaling
$631.3 million, repaid advances totaling $601.3 million,
sold preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury totaling
$26.0 million and deposits decreased $8.5 million. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $43.8 million.

The Company has certificates of deposit with
outstanding balances of $387.1 million that mature
during 2009, of which $208.7 million were obtained
from brokers. Based upon past experience, management
anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for
another term. The Company believes that deposits that do

The Company is participating in both parts of the

the
Liquidity Guarantee Program. The first part of
program called the Transaction Account Guarantee
Program provides unlimited FDIC insurance coverage on
non-interest bearing deposit accounts. The second part of
the program called the Debt Guarantee Program allows the
Company to issue debt securities that are fully guaranteed
by the FDIC. The Company had no FDIC guaranteed debt
outstanding at December 31, 2008. The amount of FDIC
guaranteed debt that could be issued by the Company was
approximately $20.9 million at December 31, 2008. The
proceeds of any FDIC guaranteed debt issuance could also
be used to replace any unanticipated deposit outflows.

management anticipates that $26.0 million of
deposits will be withdrawn from the Bank over the next
twelve months. These withdrawals will be funded primarily
with additional FHLB or FRB advances and proceeds from
maturing investments. Management anticipates that the
majority of the remaining large checking and money
market deposits will remain on deposit with the Bank. If
these deposits are withdrawn, it is anticipated that they will
be replaced with FHLB advances or deposits from other
customers or brokers.

The Company has no FHLB advances that mature in
2009 and it has $87.5 million of FHLB advances with
maturities beyond 2009 that have call features that may be
exercised by the FHLB during 2009. 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.

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
2009.

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
regulators to categorize
requires banking and thrift
“adequately
as
institutions
capitalized”,
“significantly
“undercapitalized”,
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, 2008, 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 17 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for a table which reflects the
Bank’s capital compared to its capital requirements.

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.

rates of between 11% and 33%, depending on the note

respectively. Non-interest checking and NOW accounts
were assumed to decay at annual rates of 33% and 29%,
respectively. Commercial NOW and MMDA accounts were
assumed to decay at annual rates of 35% and 29%,
respectively. 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 11 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for more information
on call provisions of the FHLB advances.

based

to

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
or floors could be different from the values calculated in the
table. Certain liabilities, such as certificates of deposit,
have fixed rates that restrict interest rate changes until
maturity. In the event of a change in interest rates,
levels may deviate
prepayment and early withdrawal
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 increase in interest rates.

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. The increase in
interest income in a rising rate environment is because
there are more adjustable rate loans that would reprice to
higher interest rates in the next twelve months than there
are certificates of deposit that would reprice.

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

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
position,
including simulations of the effect on the Bank’s capital
of various interest rate scenarios.

basis

In managing its asset/liability mix, the Bank may, at
times, depending on the relationship between long and
short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer
preference, 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
income resulting from a mismatch in the
net
maturity of its asset and liability portfolios can,
in
certain situations, provide high enough returns to justify
the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected changes
in interest rates.

To the extent consistent with its interest rate spread
objectives, the Bank attempts to manage 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. In the past, the Bank has primarily
focused its fixed rate one-to-four family residential lending
program on loans that are saleable to third parties and
generally placed only those fixed rate loans that met certain
risk characteristics into its loan portfolio. In 2008, more

commercial

fixed rate loans were placed into the single family loan
loan production
portfolio. The Bank’s
continued to be primarily in adjustable rate loans;
however, more of these loans were structured to reprice
every one, two, or three years. In addition, the duration of
the Bank’s certificates of deposits that were issued in 2008
were lengthened in order to manage the Company’s interest
rate risk exposure.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other
than commitments to originate and sell
loans in the
ordinary course of business which are more fully
discussed in Note 18 of
the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

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
and loan production facilities in Minnesota and Iowa. The
Bank has one wholly owned subsidiary, Osterud Insurance
(OIA), which offers financial planning
Agency,
products and services. HMN has another wholly owned
subsidiary, Security Finance Corporation (SFC), which
acts as an intermediary for the Bank in completing
certain real estate transactions.

Inc.

The consolidated financial statements included herein
are for HMN, SFC, the Bank and OIA. All significant
intercompany accounts
and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial
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 date of the balance sheet. While
the portfolio at
management uses available information to recognize
losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may
be necessary based on changes in economic conditions
and other factors. 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.

and

default

Mortgage servicing rights are stratified by loan type
and note rate and are valued quarterly by a third party using
assumptions. While
prepayment
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.

rate

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

Securities Securities are accounted for according to their
purpose 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 and a new cost basis is established.

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.

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 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 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 purchased loans are

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. 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, demand for single family homes and building
lots, loan portfolio composition and historical experience.
In connection with the determination of the allowance for
loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals
for significant properties or other collateral securing
delinquent
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

reversed from income.

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
subsequently
is
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 on non-accrual, delinquent as to principal
and interest for 90 days or greater or restructured in a
troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of

Mortgage Servicing Rights Mortgage servicing rights
are capitalized at fair value 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
foreclosure is 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.

Stock Based Compensation On January 1, 2006, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting

recognize as compensation expense the grant-date fair
value of stock awards issued.

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.

Retained earnings at December 31, 2008 included
approximately $8.8 million for which no provision for
income
represents
allocations of income to bad debt deductions for tax
purposes. Reduction of
so allocated for
purposes other than absorbing losses will create income
for tax purposes, which will be subject to the then-current
in its
corporate income tax rate. The Company has,
judgment, made reasonable assumptions relating to the
realization of deferred tax assets. Based upon these
the Company has determined that no
assumptions,
valuation allowance is required with respect
to the
deferred tax assets.

The Company is located in Minnesota and files a state
income tax return with the Minnesota Department of
Revenue (MDR). In January 2007, the MDR proposed
adjustments of $2.2 million to the Company’s state tax
liability related to the tax treatment of the inter-company
dividends paid to the Bank by a former subsidiary in 2002,
2003 and 2004. The Company is challenging the proposed
adjustments and the case was heard in the Minnesota state
tax court in the fourth quarter of 2008 and a ruling is
expected in the second quarter of 2009. In 2005, Minnesota
state tax laws were changed and the Company’s Minnesota
to 2004 do not have exposure
tax filings subsequent
relating to the treatment of the inter-company dividend
payments.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes (FIN 48).
Implementation of FIN 48

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

resulted in a $250,000 cumulative effect adjustment to
retained earnings as of
the date of adoption. At
January 1, 2007, the total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits under FIN 48 was estimated to be $600,000, of
which $390,000 related to tax benefits that if recognized,
would impact the annual effective tax rate. The estimated
unrecognized tax benefit at December 31, 2008, excluding
interest, has not been adjusted since the initial assessment.
The Company recognizes both interest and penalties as a
component of other operating expense and $48,000 in
interest expense was recorded in other operating expense
during both 2008 and 2007. The liability for unrecognized
tax benefits at December 31, 2008 includes $156,000 of
interest and no penalties. It is reasonably possible that the
could increase by
total unrecognized tax benefit
$1.6 million or be reduced to zero within the next
12 month period. It is also reasonably possible that any
benefit may be substantially offset by new matters arising
during this same period. The Company files consolidated
federal and state income tax returns and is not subject to
federal income tax examinations for taxable years prior to
2004, or state examinations prior to 2002.

in 2008, 2007 and 2006,

The Company has adopted an Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the ESOP) that meets the requirements
of Section 4975(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 $6.1 million 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 $1.5 million to purchase
an additional
76,933 shares of HMN common stock to account for the
additional employees and avoid dilution of the benefit
provided by the plan. 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 loans including interest. The
Company contributed $527,000 in 2008 and $525,000 in
2007 and 2006.

In June 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock
Option and Incentive Plan (1995 Plan). The provisions of

the 1995 Plan expired on April 25, 2005 and options may
no longer be granted from the plan. At December 31, 2008,
there were 105,500 vested options under the 1995 Plan that
remained unexercised. These options expire 10 years from
the date of grant and have an average exercise price of
$12.12.

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. 400,000 shares of

The Company will issue shares from treasury upon the

exercise of outstanding options.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the
intrinsic value method as described in APB Opinion
No. 25 and related interpretations to account for its
there were no
stock incentive plans. Accordingly,
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. On January 1, 2006, the
Company adopted FAS No. 123(R), which replaced
FAS No. 123 and supercedes APB Opinion No. 25. In
accordance with this standard, the Company recognized
compensation expense in 2008, 2007 and 2006 relating to
stock options over the vesting period. The amount of the
expense was determined under the fair value method.

The fair value for each option grant is estimated on the
date of the grant using a Black Scholes option valuation
model. There were no options granted in 2008, 2007 or
2006.

The Company suspended the payment of quarterly
cash dividends in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the net
operating loss experienced and the challenging economic
environment. Because of the unknown duration of the
economic slow down, it is not known when any future
dividends will be paid by the Company. The annualized
dividend payout ratios for 2007 and 2006 were 34.72% and
42.61%, respectively.

program under

The Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes
the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock, and
on December 23, 2008 the Company completed the sale of
26,000 shares of cumulative perpetual preferred stock to
the United States Treasury. The preferred stock has a
liquidation value of $1,000 per share and a related
warrant was also issued to purchase 833,333 shares of
HMN common stock at an exercise price of $4.68 per
share. The transaction was part of the United States
Treasury’s
the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Under
the terms of the sale, the preferred shares are entitled to a
5% annual cumulative dividend for each of the first five
years of the investment, increasing to 9% thereafter, unless
HMN redeems the shares. The preferred stock may be
redeemed in whole or in part, at par plus accrued and
unpaid dividends with the approval of the Bank’s primary
regulator. The preferred stock is non-voting, other than
certain class voting rights. The warrant may be exercised at
any time over its ten-year term. Treasury has agreed not to
vote any shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of
the warrant. Without the consent of Treasury, for three
years following issuance of the preferred stock, HMN
cannot (i) increase the rate at which it pays dividends on
its common stock in excess of the rate at which it last
declared a quarterly common stock dividend, or $0.25 per
share, or (ii) subject to certain exceptions, repurchase any
shares of HMN common stock outstanding. Both the

preferred securities and the warrant qualify as Tier 1
capital.

The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend to
the Company without
capital distribution
filing a
application with the OTS if the total amount of the
dividends for the year exceeds the Bank’s net income for
income for the
the year plus the Bank’s retained net
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.

In order to grant a priority to eligible accountholders
in the event of future liquidation, the Bank, at the time of
conversion to a stock savings bank, 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 decrease as the

NOTE 18 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

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
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.

42

Forward commitments represent commitments to sell
loans to a third party and are entered into in the normal
course of business by the Bank.

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,
the next 32 months and totaled
2008 expire over
$5.9 million at December 31, 2008 and $8.0 million at
December 31, 2007. The letters of credit are 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 19 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 those loans in order to
mitigate the interest rate risk associated with holding the
loans until they are sold. The Company accounts for these
commitments
in accordance with SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities.

The Company had commitments outstanding to
extend credit
to future borrowers that had not closed
prior to the end of the year, which is referred to as its
mortgage pipeline. As commitments to originate loans
the Company generally
the mortgage pipeline,
enter
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, 2008, the Company
recorded a decrease in other liabilities of $2,000 and a net
gain on the sales of loans of $2,000.

As of December 31, 2008, the current 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 an increase in
loans held for sale of $32,000, a decrease in other assets of
$32,000, an increase in other liabilities of $10,000 and a net
loss on the sale of loans of $10,000.

NOTE 20 Fair Value Measurement
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a
framework for measuring the fair value of assets and
liabilities using a hierarchy system consisting of three
levels, based on the markets in which the assets and
liabilities
the
and
assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for
identical instruments traded in active markets that the
Company has the ability to access.

reliability

traded

the

are

of

Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for
similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for
identical or similar instruments in markets that are not
active, and model-based valuation techniques for which
significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based
techniques that use significant assumptions not observable
in the market and are used only to the extent that observable
inputs are not available. These unobservable assumptions
reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Valuation techniques
include use of option pricing
models, discounted cash flow models and similar
techniques.

The following table summarizes the assets of the
Company for which fair values are determined on a
recurring basis as of December 31, 2008.

The Company may also be required, from time to
time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value
on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. These adjustments to fair
value usually result from the application of the lower of
cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual

43

assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring
basis in 2008 that were still held at December 31, 2008, the

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

Loans Receivable The fair values of loans receivable
were
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
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 The fair value of demand deposits, savings
accounts and certain money market account deposits is
the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The

fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit
estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits
of similar remaining maturities. If the fair value of the
fixed maturity certificates of deposits is calculated at less

than the carrying amount, the carrying value of these
deposits is reported as the fair value.

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 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 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.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
HMN Financial, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HMN Financial, Inc. (the Company) as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008.
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. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, 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), HMN Financial, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria
established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 2, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
