Home Federal Savings Bank celebrated its 75th anniversary during one of the
deepest economic recessions since the Great Depression. The economic downturn,
which began in December 2007 and took hold in the world’s financial centers in
2008, found its way to America’s heartland during the past year. Although lower
than the national average, unemployment in the markets we serve increased
substantially during the year. This caused declines in retail sales, durable goods
purchases, and particularly the housing market to which our institution is so
closely tied.

Like many other banks in these challenging economic conditions, we have experienced a substantial

increase in non-performing assets. Our response to this has been to establish a special asset department,
which focuses entirely on the timely and cost effective conversion of these assets to cash. As we are able
to reinvest this cash back into earning assets, we expect our margins to improve. Over the past two years
our bank also suffered substantial losses at the hands of a few apparently fraudulent customers, whose
schemes collapsed as the economy contracted. To prevent this from reoccurring, we have significantly
enhanced our credit underwriting process- particularly in the business banking division and continue to
diligently work on reducing customer and industry loan concentrations.

Community banks across the country have been hit hard by the economic crisis. Unlike their
money-center counter parts, smaller banks are, by nature, less diversified. The smallest banks will find it
difficult to compete given increased regulations and weak local loan demand. As a result, economies of
scale will be very important moving forward. Fortunately, Home Federal’s size, combined with our ability
to leverage new technology, will enable us to face increased competition in the years to come.

At the time of this writing, there are some initial signs of economic recovery on the horizon. After

bottoming early last year, the Consumer Confidence Index showed marked improvement at year end. The
First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit has helped to reduce the inventory of unsold homes. Historically low
mortgage loan rates enabled homeowners to obtain more favorable terms on their home loans, while
inflation has remained at very manageable levels. Finally, the bio-fuels industry, with which we are very
involved, has experienced improved margins, driven by lower input costs and a stable energy market.

In spite of the economic storm we dealt with the past year, our staff has remained focused on building
our core customer base. Our Retail Division posted record results for new account relationships opened. Our
Home Mortgage Division posted excellent results both in terms of new loans originated and profits associated
with the sale of those loans. Prudent underwriting and proactive collection efforts in our Consumer Loan
Division have enabled us to avoid the asset quality issues faced by many banks in that sector. The core data
processing system conversion that we initiated at the end of 2008 has been well received by our customers.
The resources we have invested in the conversion have already started to pay off through a reduction in
product delivery costs and improved functionality for our business and retail customers alike.

In summary, I am pleased to inform you that although we faced significant challenges this past year,

we have emerged a stronger organization. The hard work and talent of our dedicated employees,
combined with strong customer loyalty and support, have placed HMN Financial in an excellent position
to reap the benefits of a recovering economy.

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 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

fees

loans,

interest

income (loss)

interest-earning assets

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. Net interest income and net interest rate spread
are affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and
mix of
and interest-bearing
liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. The
rate spread increased in 2009
Company’s
primarily because the cost of interest-bearing deposits
decreased more than the yields on interest-earning
assets. The lower interest rates paid on money market
and certificate of deposit accounts in 2009 were the
result of the aggregate 400 basis point decrease in the
federal funds rate that occurred over the course of the year
in 2008. Decreases in the federal funds rate generally have
a lagging effect and decrease the rates banks pay for
deposits. The Company’s net
is also
affected by the generation of non-interest income, which
consists primarily of gains or losses from the sale of
for
from the sale of
securities, gains
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, deposit
insurance and amortization of
mortgage servicing assets. Over the past several years,
the Company has increased the emphasis on commercial
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
issues indirectly
subprime mortgages, subprime credit
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 less 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 many of our residential development loans.
Consequently, our provision for loan losses significantly
increased in 2008 and 2009, relative to periods before the
current economic slowdown. The increase in the provision
was due to commercial loan charge offs and risk rating
downgrades caused by continued weak demand for housing
and building and general economic weakness 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
family and commercial
of business
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
interest on competing investments, account
rates of
maturities and the levels of personal income and savings.

Critical Accounting Estimates
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. These critical accounting policies often
involve estimates and assumptions that could have a
material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company has
identified the following critical
accounting policies that management believes involve
the most difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments
that are inherently uncertain. Therefore, actual financial
results could differ significantly depending upon the
estimates, assumptions and other factors used.

reserves. 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 for all non-performing loans. The Company’s
policies and procedures related to the allowance for loan
losses are consistent with the Interagency Policy Statement
on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses that was
issued by the 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. Because
of the size of some loans, changes in estimates can have a
impact on the loan loss provision. The
significant
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 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.

attributable

tax consequences

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

5

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

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.
The Company maintains significant net deferred tax
assets for deductible temporary differences, the largest of
which relates to the allowance for loan losses. For income
tax purposes, only net charge-offs are deductible, not the
provision for
loan losses. Under generally accepted
accounting principles, a valuation allowance is required
to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that the
deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of
the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly
subjective and dependent upon management’s judgment
and evaluation of both positive and negative evidence,
including the forecasts of future income, applicable tax
planning strategies and assessments of the current and
future economic and business conditions. The Company
considers both positive and negative evidence regarding the
ultimate realizabilty of deferred tax assets. Positive
evidence includes the existence of taxes paid in available
carry-back years, the ability to implement tax planning
strategies to accelerate taxable income recognition and the
probability that taxable income will be generated in future
periods. Negative evidence includes
the Company’s
cumulative loss in the prior three year period and the
general business and economic trends. At December 31,
2009, the Company did not record a valuation allowance
relating to deferred tax assets. This determination was
based largely on the Company’s ability to implement tax
planning strategies to accelerate taxable income, its ability
to generate future taxable income and the utilization of
taxes paid in available carry-back years. The Company
believes, based on its internal earnings projections, that it
will generate sufficient future taxable income that will
result in the realization of the Company’s deferred tax
assets. This positive evidence was sufficient to overcome
the negative evidence of a cumulative loss in the most
recent three year period that was caused primarily by the
significant loan loss provisions that have been realized in
the past two years, including one specific $12.0 million
provision and related charge-off in 2008 due to apparently
fraudulent activities related to the collateral of one loan,
and a $3.8 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge
recorded in 2008. It is possible that future conditions may
differ substantially from those anticipated in determining
the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets
and adjustments may be required in the future.

Results of Operations
The net loss was $10.8 million for 2009, an increased loss of
$669,000, from the $10.1 million loss for 2008. Due to
preferred stock dividends and discount accretion, there was a
net loss available to common shareholders of $12.5 million
for the year ended December 31, 2009, an increased loss of
$2.3 million from the net
loss available to common
shareholders of $10.2 million for 2008. Diluted loss per
common share for the year ended December 31, 2009 was
$3.39, an increased loss of $0.61 from the $2.78 diluted loss
per common share for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $33.9 million for 2009, an increase
of $187,000, or 0.6%, from $33.7 million for 2008. Interest
income was $57.8 million for 2009, a decrease of
$8.7 million, or 13.1%, from $66.5 million for 2008.
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 that occurred during 2008. 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 decrease in the
average net loans receivable of $39.1 million and the
increase in the average non-performing assets between
the periods. The decrease in outstanding loans in 2009
was a result of declining loan demand and the Company’s
focus on improving credit quality, managing interest rate
risk and improving capital ratios and it is anticipated that
this trend will continue in 2010. The average yield earned
on interest-earning assets was 5.68% for 2009, a decrease
of 55 basis points from the 6.23% average yield for 2008.
Interest expense was $23.9 million for 2009, a
decrease of $8.9 million, or 27.2%, from $32.8 million
for 2008. Interest expense decreased primarily because of

6

lower interest rates paid on money market and certificates
of deposit accounts. The decreased rates were the result of
the 400 basis point decrease in the federal funds rate that
occurred during 2008. Decreases in the federal funds rate
generally have a lagging effect and decrease the rates banks
pay for deposits. Interest expense also decreased because of
a $43.3 million decrease in average interest-bearing
liabilities between the periods. The decrease in average
interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a
decrease in the outstanding brokered certificates of
deposits between the periods. The decrease in brokered
deposits in 2009 was the result of using the proceeds from
loan principal payments to fund maturing brokered

deposits and it is anticipated that this trend will continue
in 2010. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities was 2.49% for 2009, a decrease of 78 basis points
from the 3.27% paid for 2008. Net interest margin (net
interest income divided by average interest earning assets)
for 2009 was 3.33%, an increase of 17 basis points,
compared to 3.16% for 2008.

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 3.33% in 2009 from
3.16% in 2008 primarily because the cost of interest-
bearing liabilities decreased at a faster 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 positively impacted by a
change in the deposit mix as a lower percentage of
deposits were in higher priced brokered certificates of
deposits in 2009 when compared to 2008. Brokered
deposits decreased in 2009 as the proceeds from loan
payoffs were used to pay off the outstanding brokered
deposits that matured during the year. Average net
earning assets decreased $7.2 million to $58.0 million in
2009 compared to $65.2 million for 2008. Net earning

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $26.7 million for 2009,
the same as for 2008. The provision for loan losses
remained elevated in 2009 primarily because of the high
loan loss allowances recorded for specific commercial real
estate loans due to decreases in the estimated value of the
underlying collateral supporting the loans. The loan loss
provision for 2009 includes a $6.9 million increase on two
unrelated commercial loans that were charged off after it
was determined that the collateral supporting the loans was
inadequate due to the apparently fraudulent actions of the
respective borrowers. In addition a $3.0 million provision
for loan losses was established on two alternative fuel
plants during 2009 based on updated appraised values

Gain on sales of loans increased $1.6 million between
the periods because of an increase in the sales of single
family mortgages between the periods due to the low
interest rate environment during 2009. Loan servicing
fees increased $87,000 between the periods due to an
increase in the single-family mortgage loans being
serviced. Security gains decreased $474,000 because of
decreased investment sales. Fees and service charges
decreased $132,000 between the periods primarily
because of decreased retail deposit account overdrafts

and fees. Other non-interest income decreased $124,000
between the periods due primarily to a decrease in the sales
of uninsured investment products.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $31.7 million for 2009, an
increase of $2.5 million, or 8.4%, from $29.2 million for
2008. The following table presents the components of non-

Losses on real estate owned increased $4.1 million between
2008 and 2009 primarily because the losses recognized on

three residential developments, caused by a decrease in
their estimated value, exceeded the gains recognized on the

non-interest

associated with

sale of two commercial real estate properties. Deposit
insurance premiums
increased $1.3 million due to
increased FDIC insurance premium rates and a special
FDIC assessment of $483,000 that was paid in 2009.
Compensation and benefits expense increased $968,000
between the periods primarily because of additional
staffing in the mortgage, commercial and computer
operations
the
costs
employment agreement of a former executive officer.
Other
$919,000
expenses
primarily because of an increase in the costs related to
other real estate owned. These increases were offset by a
$3.8 million decrease in goodwill impairment charges
between the periods. Data processing costs decreased
$549,000 between the periods primarily because of
decreases in third party vendor charges for internet and
other banking services as a result of the system conversion
that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2008. Occupancy
expense decreased $437,000 primarily because of a
decrease in depreciation expense and non-capitalized
software and equipment purchases.

increased

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
$5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an
increased benefit of $623,000, compared to a $5.0 million
benefit for the year ended December 31, 2008. The
increased income tax benefit was due to an increased
taxable loss and an effective tax rate that increased from
33.0% for 2008 to 34.2% for 2009. The effective tax rate
was lower in 2008 primarily due to the nondeductible
goodwill impairment charge that was recorded in 2008.

The Company is headquartered 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 challenged the
additional assessment and the case was heard by the
Minnesota tax court, which ruled in favor of the MDR in
the second quarter of 2009. The Company recorded
additional income tax expense of $1.0 million and interest
of $461,000 at that time. The Company appealed the tax
court ruling to the Minnesota Supreme Court. The case was
heard in the fourth quarter of 2009 and a ruling is anticipated
in the second quarter of 2010. The Company has previously
reserved for the entire amount of the proposed adjustment,

11

therefore, a favorable ruling would result in a reduction in
income tax expense of $1.2 million and a reduction in other
expense of $697,000 for accrued interest.

Net 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 is $325,000 each quarter for the first five years the
preferred shares are outstanding and increase to $585,000
each quarter after that if the shares are not redeemed. The
Company paid all preferred dividends to the U.S. Treasury
that were due in 2008 and 2009. Net income (loss) available
to common stockholders is net income (loss) less the
preferred dividends paid or accrued for the period.

The net loss available to common shareholders was
$12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, an
increased loss of $2.3 million from the net loss available to
common shareholders of $10.2 million for 2008. The net
loss available to common shareholders increased primarily
because of the $1.7 million increase in the preferred stock
dividend and discount accretion costs between the periods.
The increased preferred stock dividend and discount
accretion costs in 2009 are the result of the preferred
stock being outstanding for the entire year compared to
only a partial year in 2008.

Comparison of 2008 With 2007
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 million charge off in the third quarter of 2008 because
the apparently fraudulent activities related to the
of
collateral of one loan. Results
in 2008 were also
adversely affected by a $5.0 million decrease in net
income and a $3.8 million non-cash goodwill
interest
impairment charge.

Net interest income was $33.7 million for 2008, a
decrease of $5.0 million, or 12.9%, from $38.7 million for
income was $66.5 million for 2008, a
2007. Interest
decrease of $11.0 million, or 14.2%, from $77.5 million

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

increase

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. Interest income was
also adversely affected by the
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
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.
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 earning assets were $65.2 million in 2008,
compared to $62.8 million for 2007. Net 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,
the payment of
repurchase of HMN common stock,
dividends and the transfer of loans to real estate. During

12

2008 and 2007, the Company purchased premises and
equipment of $3.8 million and $2.6 million, paid
$723,000 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.
The provision for loan losses was $26.7 million for
2008, 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 apparently fraudulent
activities related to the underlying collateral on the loan.
The provision for loan losses also increased due to
$44.8 million in commercial loan growth between the
periods, an increase in the specific reserves established
on commercial real estate loans due to decreases in
collateral values and because of risk rating downgrades
on various loans in the portfolio as a result of the current
economic environment. Total non-performing assets were
$74.8 million at December 31, 2008, an increase of
$52.9 million, or 240.8%,
from $21.9 million at
December 31, 2007. Non-performing loans increased
$44.5 million to $64.2 million and foreclosed and
to
increased
repossessed
$10.6 million between the periods. The increase in non-
performing loans was primarily related to commercial real
estate loans.

assets

Non-interest income was $7.1 million for 2008, an
increase of $191,000, or 2.8%, from $6.9 million for 2007.
Fees and service charges increased $1.1 million between
the periods primarily because of increased retail deposit
account activity and fees. Security gains
increased
$479,000 because of increased investment sales. Other
non-interest income decreased $456,000 between 2008
and 2007 due primarily to a decrease in the sales of
uninsured investment products 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 due to most of the mortgage loans
being sold into the secondary market with the servicing
released during 2008.

Non-interest expense for 2008 was $29.2 million, an
increase of $6.1 million, or 26.3%, from $23.1 million for
2007. A goodwill impairment charge of $3.8 million was
recorded in the second quarter of 2008 as goodwill related
to a prior acquisition was deemed to be impaired and fully
written off due to the trading of the Company’s common
to book value. Other non-interest
stock at a discount
expense
periods
$742,000
increased
primarily because of a litigation settlement related to a
loan participation and increased legal fees primarily related

between

the

to an ongoing state tax assessment challenge. Deposit
insurance costs increased $565,000 due to an increase in
Federal Deposit Insurance premium rates. Occupancy
expense increased $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 $464,000 primarily
related to the data
because of
processing system conversion that
took place in the
fourth quarter of 2008. Gains on real estate owned
decreased $495,000 due to fewer real estate sales in
2008. 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.

increased expenses

The income tax benefit was $5.0 million for 2008, a
change 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
charge recorded
$3.8 million goodwill
during the year as it is not tax deductible and therefore
no tax benefit was recorded.

to focus on improving credit quality,
managing interest rate risk and improving capital ratios
the Company began to decrease the outstanding loan

balances. For those reasons and as a result of declining
loan demand it is anticipated that the size of our overall
loan portfolio will continue to decline in 2010. HMN does

portfolio. However, subprime credit issues continued to
indirectly impact the Company in 2009 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 less qualified buyers
in the marketplace. The decrease in demand for housing
and building lots affected the risk ratings on many of our
residential development loans. The economic slowdown
spread to other sectors of the economy and is reflected in
the $77.4 million of Company assets that were classified as
non-performing at the end of 2009. We continue to work
with the borrowers in order to resolve the non-performing
status of these loans in the most cost effective manner.
While we believe we have adequately provided for any
probable losses on our loan portfolio, we recognize that it
will take time in the current economic environment for
borrowers to convert these assets into cash and repay their
loans due to the limited demand for the properties.

While loan originations increased in 2009 from the prior

secondary market and were not placed in the portfolio in
order to manage the Company’s interest rate risk position.

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 decreased in

income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate
collectability of the loan. Restructured loans include the
Bank’s troubled debt restructurings that involved forgiving
a portion of interest or principal 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

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

For 2009, 2008 and 2007, gross interest income which
would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been
current in accordance with their original terms amounted to
$5.0 million, $5.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively.
The amounts that were included in interest income on a
cash basis for these loans were $0.9 million, $1.9 million
and $1.0 million, respectively.

In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in
the table above of all non-performing assets, as of
there were two other potential
December 31, 2009,
problem loan relationships and fourteen other
loans
where the interest rates were modified in troubled debt
restructurings in 2009. Potential problem loans are loans
that are not in non-performing 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 management to include performing loans in
potential 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 two loan relationships
that have been reported as potential problem loans at
December 31, 2009 are a $5.0 million loan to a financial
institution and a $1.7 million group of loans in which the
personal guarantor’s financial condition has deteriorated.
The potential problem loans in 2008 were related to a
single
totaling
$2.0 million. The loans that were modified in 2009
totaled $5.3 million with $4.3 million related to a
commercial real estate loan and the remaining loans
related to single family and consumer loans. 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 was
anticipated that the borrowers would 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 so 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 Bank (FRB).

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 FRB 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 or FRB 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
FRB. 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 million
in preferred stock and related warrant of the Company.

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
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, 2009 were
$16.4 million, an increase of $0.7 million, compared to
$15.7 million at December 31, 2008. Net cash provided by
operating activities during 2009 was $15.4 million. The
Company conducted the following major
investing
activities during 2009: principal payments and maturity
proceeds received on securities available for sale and
FHLB stock were $100.6 million, purchases of securities
available for sale and FHLB stock were $88.4 million,
proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were
$2.1 million, proceeds from the sale of premises and other
real estate were $10.7 million, and loans receivable
decreased $56.3 million. The Company spent $558,000
for the purchase of equipment and updating its premises.
Net cash provided by investing activities during 2009 was

the Debt Guarantee Program (DGP) allows the Company
to issue debt securities that are fully guaranteed by the
FDIC. The original DGP expired on October 31, 2009 but
the FDIC will continue to guarantee certain pre-approved
debt issuances through April 30, 2010. The Company had
no FDIC guaranteed debt outstanding at December 31,
2009.

accounts

deposit

The Company has deposits of $80.4 million in
checking and money market accounts of customers that
have relationship balances greater than $5 million. While
these funds may be withdrawn at any time, management
anticipates that the majority of these deposits will remain
on deposit with the Bank over the next twelve months based
on past experience. If these deposits are withdrawn, it is
they would be replaced with FHLB
anticipated that
advances, FRB borrowings or deposits
from other
customers or brokers.

The Company has, through the Bank, $10 million in
FHLB advances
that mature in 2010 and it has
$77.5 million of FHLB advances with maturities beyond
2010 that have call features that may be exercised by the
FHLB during 2010. If the call features are exercised, the
Company, through the Bank, 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
2010.

Under the terms of an informal written agreement that
the Company entered into with the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS) effective December 9, 2009,
the
Company may not incur or issue any debt without prior
notice to, and the consent of, the OTS. Because FHLB
advances are debt of the Bank, they are not affected by the
Company’s agreement with the OTS.

As of December 31, 2009, there were 300,000 shares
authorized for
the existing stock
repurchase program that was allowed to expire unused
on January 26, 2010. No treasury stock purchases are
anticipated in 2010 due
to restrictions on stock
repurchases by the United States Treasury in connection
with its preferred stock investment in the Company. In
addition, under the terms of the informal written agreement
that the Company entered into with the OTS effective
December 9, 2009, the Company may not repurchase or
redeem any capital stock without prior notice to, and
consent of, the OTS.

The Company’s primary source of cash is dividends
from the Bank and the Bank is restricted from paying
dividends
to the Company without obtaining prior
regulatory approval. At December 31, 2009, HMN had
$2.9 million in cash and other assets that could readily be

turned into cash. The Company believes that its available
liquidity is adequate to provide the cash needed for the
payment of preferred dividends and other expenses in
2010. Failure to obtain regulatory approval
for any
future dividends from the Bank to the Company could
cause the Company to require other sources of liquidity for
the payment of preferred dividends, expenses and other
needs beyond 2010.

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
institutions which are undercapitalized. FDICIA
against
to categorize
requires banking and thrift
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, 2009, 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. Under the terms of the informal written
agreement that the Company entered into with the OTS
effective December 9, 2009, the Company has submitted a
three year capital plan that the OTS may make comments
upon, and require revisions to. The Company must operate

factors. No
dividends can be issued from the Bank to the Company
without prior regulatory approval. Refer to Note 16 of the
Notes
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 suspended the dividend payments to common
stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the net
operating loss experienced and the challenging economic
environment. Under the terms of the informal written
agreement that the Company entered into with the OTS
effective December 9, 2009, the Company may not declare
or pay any cash dividends, or purchase or redeem any
capital stock, without prior notice to, and consent of, the
OTS. The Company does not anticipate requesting consent
from the OTS to make any payments of dividends on, or

anticipates making quarterly preferred dividend payments
of $325,000 on the preferred stock issued to the Treasury
for the first five years the preferred stock is outstanding and
$585,000 each quarter after that if the shares are not
redeemed.

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.

Statement amends FASB 46(R) to require an enterprise to
to
perform an analysis and ongoing reassessments

interests give it a controlling financial

variable interest entity and amends certain guidance for
determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. It

begins after November 15, 2009 and for all
interim
reporting periods after that and is not anticipated to have
any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements as the Company has no interests in any
variable interest entities.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 (ASC
860), Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement
amends SFAS 140 and removes the concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity from SFAS 140 and eliminates the
exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46
(revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, on qualifying special-purpose entities.
This Statement also establishes specific conditions for
reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset
(including loans) as a sale. This Statement is effective as
of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual
reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for
interim periods within that first annual reporting period and
for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter and is not
anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 (ASC
855), Subsequent Events. The objective of this Statement is
to establish general standards of accounting for and
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet
date but before financial statements are issued or are
available to be issued. In particular, this Statement sets
forth the period after the balance sheet date during which
management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or
transactions that may occur for potential recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances
under which an entity should recognize events or
transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity
should make about events or transactions that occurred
after the balance sheet date. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
ending after June 15, 2009 and did not have any impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The
Company evaluated subsequent events through the filing
date of our annual 10-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 4, 2010.

annual rates of between 7% and 77%, depending on the

mortgages (ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual
rates of between 12% and 34%, depending on the note

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.

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

21

maturity. 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 increase in interest rates.

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. 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
risk position and projected profitability. The
rate
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
position,
including simulations of the effect on the Bank’s capital
of various interest rate scenarios.

asset/liability

the Bank’s

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.

interest

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, more fixed rate loans were
placed into the single family loan portfolio. In 2009, the
Bank has primarily focused its fixed rate one-to-four
lending program on loans that are
family residential
saleable to third parties and generally placed only those
fixed rate loans that met certain risk characteristics into its
loan portfolio. The Bank’s commercial loan production
continued to be primarily in adjustable rate loans with
minimum interest rate floors; however, more of these loans
were structured to reprice every one, two, or three years. In
addition, the duration of the Bank’s brokered certificates of
deposits that were issued in 2009 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.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through
the filing date of our annual 10-K with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 4, 2010.

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.

the date of

An estimate that is particularly susceptible to change
relates to the determination of the allowance for loan
losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan
losses is adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the
portfolio at
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
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.

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.

are

reported as

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 rates, changes in prepayment risk, or similar
factors. Unrealized gains and losses, net of

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.

and has a process in place to identify securities that could
potentially have a credit impairment that is other than

the amortized cost basis,
security, the financial condition and near-term prospects
of the issuer, expected cash flows, and the Company’s
intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of
time sufficient to recover the temporary loss, including
determining whether it is more-likely-than-not that the
Company will be required to sell the security prior to
recovery. To the extent it is determined that a security is
deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired,
an
impairment loss is recognized.

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 on the sale of loans 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
amortized into interest income using the interest method
over the period to contractual maturity, adjusted for
estimated prepayments.

the allowance for

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, demand for
commercial real estate and building lots, loan portfolio
composition and historical experience. In connection with

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.

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

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

equipment.

was charged off.

Stock Based Compensation The Company recognizes
the grant-date fair value of stock option awards issued as
compensation expense.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) The Company
has an ESOP that borrowed funds from the Company and
purchased shares of HMN common stock. The Company
makes quarterly principal and interest payments on the
ESOP loan. As the debt is repaid, ESOP shares that were
pledged as collateral for the debt are released from
collateral and allocated to eligible employees based on
the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The
Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with
ASC 718, 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.

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. A valuation allowance is required to be
recognized if it is “more likely than not” that the deferred
tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the
realizability of the deferred tax asset is subjective and
dependent upon judgment concerning management’s
evaluation of both positive and negative evidence
regarding the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets.

Preferred Stock Dividends and Discount The proceeds
received from the preferred stock and warrant issued to the
U.S. Treasury were allocated between the preferred stock

29

and the warrant based on their relative fair values at the
time of issuance in accordance with the requirements of
ASC 470, Accounting for Convertible Debt Issued with
Stock Purchase Warrants. Because of the increasing rate
dividend feature of the preferred shares, the discount on the
warrant is amortized using the constant effective yield
five year period preceding the
method over
scheduled rate increase on the preferred stock in
accordance with the requirements of ASC 505.

the

Earnings (Loss) per Share Basic earnings (loss) per
common share excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders
by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per
common share 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. Options and restricted stock awards are
excluded from the earnings (loss) per share calculation
when a net
loss is incurred as their inclusion in the
calculation would be anti-dilutive and result in a lower
loss per common share.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income
(loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period
from transactions and other events from nonowner sources.
Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income
(loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), which for
the Company is comprised of unrealized gains and losses
on securities available for sale.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 (ASC
810), Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). This
Statement amends FASB 46(R) to require an enterprise to
perform an analysis and ongoing reassessments
to
determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or
interests give it a controlling financial
in a
variable interest entity and amends certain guidance for
determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. It
also requires enhanced disclosures that will provide users
of financial statements with more transparent information
about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest
entity. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of
each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that
begins after November 15, 2009 and for all
interim
reporting periods after that and is not anticipated to have
any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements as the Company has no interests in any
variable interest entities.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 (ASC
860), Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement
amends SFAS 140 and removes the concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity from SFAS 140 and eliminates the
exception from applying FASB Interpretation No. 46
(revised December 2003) (ASC 810), Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, on qualifying special-purpose
entities. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of
each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that
begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within
that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual
reporting periods thereafter and is not anticipated to have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 (ASC
855), Subsequent Events. The objective of this Statement is

to establish general standards of accounting for and
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet
date but before financial statements are issued or are
available to be issued. In particular, this Statement sets
forth the period after the balance sheet date during which
management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or
transactions that may occur for potential recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances
under which an entity should recognize events or
transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity
should make about events or transactions that occurred
after the balance sheet date. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for interim and annual periods
ending after June 15, 2009 and did not have any impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009,

the FASB issued Staff Position
FAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2 (ASC 320), Recognition
and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
(FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2). This FSP amends the
other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP
for debt securities to make the guidance more operational
and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-
than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities
in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend
existing recognition and measurement guidance related
to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities.
This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption
permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The
impact of adopting FSP FAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2 in
the second quarter of 2009 did not have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 from time to time use interest rate
swaps to manage interest rate risk. Derivative financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit and
forward mortgage loan sales commitments.

We review our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. This review includes
analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the market liquidity for the
investment, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may
influence the operations of the issuer, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to
recover the temporary loss. The unrealized losses on collateralized mortgage and agency obligations are primarily due to
changes in interest rates and were not determined to be other-than-temporary. Mortgage backed securities in the table
above had an average life of less than three years and the other marketable securities had an average life of less than one
year at December 31, 2009.

The unrealized losses reported for corporate preferred stock at December 31, 2009 relates to a single trust preferred
security that was issued by the holding company of a small community bank. Typical of most trust preferred issuances, the
issuer has the ability to defer interest payments for up to five years with interest payable on the deferred balance. In
October 2009, the issuer elected to defer its scheduled interest payments as allowed by the terms of the security
agreement. The issuer’s subsidiary bank has incurred operating losses due to increased provisions for loan losses but still
meets the regulatory requirements to be considered “well capitalized” based on its most recent regulatory filing. In
addition, the owners of the issuing bank appear to have the ability to make additional capital contributions, if needed, to
enhance the bank’s capital position. Based on a review of the issuer, it was determined that the trust preferred security was
not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2009. The Company does not intend to sell the preferred stock and
has the intent and ability to hold it for a period of time sufficient to recover the temporary loss. Management believes that
the Company will receive all principal and interest payments contractually due on the security and that the decrease in the
market value is primarily due to a lack of liquidity in the market for trust preferred securities and the deferral of interest by
the issuer. Management will continue to monitor the credit risk of the issuer and may be required to recognize other-than-
temporary impairment charges on this security in future periods.

It is reasonably possible that the total unrecognized
tax benefit could be reduced to zero with the next 12 month
period. It is also reasonably possible that any benefit may
be substantially offset by new matters arising during the
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 2005, or state
examinations prior to 2002.

The Company considers the determination of the
deferred tax asset amount and the need for any valuation
reserve to be a critical accounting policy that requires
significant judgment. The Company has, in its judgment,
made reasonable assumptions and considered both positive
and negative evidence relating to the ultimate realization of
the
deferred tax assets. Positive evidence includes
existence of taxes paid in available carry-back years, the
ability to implement tax planning strategies to accelerate
taxable income recognition and the probability that taxable
income will be generated in future periods. Negative
evidence includes the Company’s cumulative loss in the
prior three year period and the general business and
economic trends. The cumulative loss was impacted by
the charge off of one $12.0 million loan in 2008 due to the
apparently fraudulent activities of the borrower and a
impairment charge recorded in
$3.8 million goodwill
2008. Based upon this evaluation,
the Company has
determined that no valuation allowance is required with
respect to the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2009.
The Company is headquartered 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 case was heard by the Minnesota tax
court in 2009 and it ruled in favor of the MDR and the
Company recorded additional
income tax expense of
$1.0 million, net of the federal benefit, in the second
quarter of 2009. The Company appealed the tax court
ruling to the Minnesota Supreme Court. The case was
heard in the fourth quarter of 2009 and a ruling is
anticipated in the second quarter of 2010. The Company
has previously reserved for the entire amount of the
proposed adjustment, therefore, a favorable ruling would
result in a reduction in income tax expense of $1.2 million
and a reduction in other expense of $697,000 for accrued
interest.

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
an additional
borrowed $1.5 million to purchase
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 $525,000, $527,000 and $525,000
in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

As the debt is repaid, ESOP shares that were pledged
as collateral for the debt are released from collateral and
allocated to eligible 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 (ASU 718). Accordingly, the shares pledged as
collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in
stockholders’ equity. As shares are determined to be

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
stock incentive plans. Accordingly,
there were 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. On January 1, 2006, the
Company adopted FAS No. 123(R) (ASC 718), which
replaced FAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion
No. 25. In accordance with this standard, the Company
recognized compensation expense in 2009, 2008 and 2007
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 or 2007. The
following table shows the assumptions that were used in
determining the fair value of options granted during 2009:

The Company suspended dividend payments on
common stock in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the
net operating loss experienced and the challenging
unknown

duration of the economic slow down and the continued

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 capital purchase program
under 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 Company made all required
dividend payments to the Treasury on the outstanding
preferred stock in 2009. The preferred stock cannot be
redeemed for a period of three years from the date of the
Treasury investment, except with the proceeds of certain
qualifying offerings of Tier 1 capital. After three years, the
preferred stock may be redeemed in whole or in part, at par
plus accrued and unpaid dividends. 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. The discount on the common stock warrant is being
amortized over five years and 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 qualifies as Tier 1
capital.

Under the terms of the informal written agreement that
the Company entered into with the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS) effective December 9, 2009 as
described in Note 17, the Company may not declare or
pay any cash dividends, or repurchase or redeem any capital
stock, without prior notice to, and consent of, the OTS.

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
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.

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
balance
reduced
to the conversion, based on an annual
subsequent
determination of such balance.

NOTE 17 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 are carried at cost, in the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. The Bank met this
requirement at December 31, 2009. The capital stock
in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des
investment
Moines was reviewed for any other
than temporary
impairment as of December 31, 2009 and it was
determined that it was not impaired.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital
requirements
federal banking
agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional

administered by the

42

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
items as calculated under
certain off-balance sheet
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.

Effective December 9, 2009, the Bank entered into an
informal written agreement with its primary regulator, the
OTS that primarily relates
to the Bank’s financial
performance and credit quality issues. In accordance
with the agreement, the Bank has submitted a three year
business and capital plan that
the OTS may make
comments upon, and require revisions to. The Bank
must operate within the parameters of the final business
and capital plan and is required to monitor and submit
periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. The
agreement also requires the Bank to develop plans and
take action to address non-performing assets and watch-list
credits.

The Company also has entered into an informal
written agreement with the OTS. In accordance with the
agreement, the Company has submitted a three year capital

plan that the OTS may make comments upon, and require
revisions to. The Company must operate within the
parameters of the final capital plan and is required to
monitor and submit periodic reports on its compliance
with the plan. In addition, without the consent of the
OTS, the Company may not incur or issue any debt,
guarantee the debt of any entity, declare or pay any cash
dividends or repurchase any of the Company’s capital
stock.

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 (Core) capital, and Risk-based capital (as
defined in the regulations) to total assets (as defined).

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.

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 expire over the
next 48 months and totaled $3.8 million at December 31,
2009 and $5.9 million at December 31, 2008. 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.

The Company had commitments outstanding to

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, 2009, the Company
recorded an increase in other liabilities of $39,000, an
increase in other assets of $53,000 and a net gain on the
sales of loans of $14,000.

As of December 31, 2009, 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 a decrease in
loans held for sale of $50,000, an increase in other assets of
$50,000, a decrease in other liabilities of $10,000 and a net
gain 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 (ASC 820),
which 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 are traded and the reliability of the
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.

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.
include use of option pricing
Valuation techniques
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, 2009.

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
the
from the
lower-of-cost-or market accounting or write-downs of

application of

individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis in 2009 that were still held at

NOTE 21 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

estimates

fair value

the Company’s

SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Values of
Financial Instruments (ASC 825), requires disclosure of
financial
estimated fair values of
instruments, including assets, liabilities and off-balance
sheet items for which it is practicable to estimate fair
value. The
as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008 based upon relevant
market
the
information,
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,
risk
characteristics of various financial instruments, and other
factors. The estimates are subjective in nature and involve

conditions,

are made

economic

available,

current

upon

and

if

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.

estimated for groups of

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
loans with similar
characteristics. The fair value of the loan portfolio, with
the adjustable rate portfolio, was
the exception of
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. This method of estimating fair value
does not incorporate the exit-price concept of fair value
prescribed by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures.
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
is
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.
to Sell Loans The
Commitments
fair values of
commitments to sell
loans are estimated using the
quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates
and terms to maturity.

NOTE 23 Business Segments

The Bank has been identified as a reportable operating
segment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 280.
SFC and HMN, the holding company, did not meet the
quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment and
therefore are included in the “Other” category.

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 (loss)
and assets for each of the Company’s reportable segments.

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, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2009.
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, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, 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, 2009, 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 4, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
