LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS AND CLIENTS 

I am pleased to present you with our 2017 Annual Report. Our focus during the year to 
improve core balance sheet and earnings growth is reflected throughout this report. 

Balance Sheet 
By  year-end  2017,  total  assets  had  grown  by  $41  million.  This  growth  was  comprised 
primarily of increases in our highest yielding assets- mortgage and commercial real estate 
loans.  By  design,  our  investment  portfolio  remained  level  throughout  the  year  as 
management worked to deploy excess liquidity. It is important to note that this loan growth 
reflects loans made and serviced directly by Home Federal, and not loans purchased from 
third  party  originators.  While  we  regularly  participate  with  other  community  banks,  the 
outstanding balances of participations purchased declined $8.5 million during the year to 
$20.1 million. We believe organic loan growth offers us the best opportunity to develop 
long-term multi-product relationships with our clients. 

Deposits also exhibited growth during the year with commercial accounts leading the way 
increasing by $35.9 million. Retail accounts over the same period grew by $6.9 million. 
This growth can be attributed to management’s efforts to solicit more local deposits and the improving financial condition of 
our commercial clients. We have also experienced success in attracting new clients with special affiliation accounts like our 
Jubilee  Program,  for  clients  55  and  older  and  obtaining  larger  deposit  relationships  by  providing  insurance  coverage  for 
deposits over FDIC limits using the insured cash sweep (ICS) and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) 
programs offered through a third party vendor. 

During the year, we prepaid the remaining $7 million balance of the $10 million term loan secured in 2014 to repurchase the 
remaining HMN Preferred shares issued in connection with the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). At a rate of 6.5%, 
this obligation represented our single most expensive source of funds and was an excellent opportunity to deploy excess 
balance sheet liquidity and capital of the Company. 

In spite of our growth, our capital level remains strong. While it might appear to some that we hold more capital than is 
necessary, I firmly believe that our disciplined approach to capital planning will position our Company to capitalize on growth 
opportunities as they arise- in good times or in bad-, prudently fund organic growth and weather adverse economic conditions 
when they arise. 

Income Statement 
Net income for 2017 was $4.4 million, a decline of $2.0 million from 2016. The decline in income between the periods is 
partially because of the $1.1 million increase in income tax expense as a result of tax reform legislation that was enacted in 
the fourth quarter of 2017. The decline relating to our core operating results was centered in lower commercial loan sale 
gains- a result of increased competition from conventional lenders- and a decline in gain on sale of non-performing assets. It 
is important to note that as our asset quality has improved, the opportunities to recognize yield enhancements as problem 
assets are collected have diminished as well. These assets include our own recession-era legacy assets as well as purchased 
assets that are collected in excess of our book value. 

The continuing low interest rate environment caused a 0.23% decline in our yield on average earning assets. Fortunately, the 
aforementioned loan growth along with a nominal increase in our cost of funds enabled us to report higher net interest income 
compared with the prior year. 

Asset Quality 
Non-performing  asset  levels  remained  flat  during  the  year-  further  evidence  of  our  improved  asset  quality  and  more 
normalized operations. Our past due ratio as of year-end remained very low at 0.30%, while our reserve for problem loans 
remained a healthy 1.57% of total loans. Our improved asset quality allowed us to record a reverse provision for loan losses 
during the year of $0.5 million.

Markets 
I continue to be pleased by our growth in nearly all of our markets. While some of this growth can be attributed to the overall 
improvement in the economy, we believe it is a reflection of our approach to community banking, one which empowers 
qualified managers to make local decisions in their own markets. Late in the year, we announced plans to open our first new 
branch in over ten years. Located in Owatonna, Minnesota, this branch is the logical next step for our Business Development 
Office we established there in 2015. We are using this opportunity to utilize the latest developments in a branch floor plan 
design and technology while continuing to meet the market’s sales and service expectations.  

The  pricing  expectations  of  community  banks  contemplating  a  sale  increased  dramatically  throughout  the  year.  While 
acquisitions remain an important component of our growth strategy, we must remain disciplined in our approach to deal 
pricing. During the year, our acquisitions team considered a number of potential acquisition opportunities in new markets. 
Unfortunately, we were unable to negotiate the terms and conditions we felt necessary to ensure sufficient earnings accretion 
and the enhancement in long-term shareholder value. We continue to aggressively look for new opportunities for growth 
through acquisition. 

Summary 
As I review this annual report, I am particularly pleased with the increase in the core operating results of the Bank. It is a 
reflection of our commitment to enhancing long-term franchise and shareholder value- a commitment to doing what is in the 
long-term best interest of our Company and its shareholders. I want to thank each and every one of you for your support over 
the past year and especially thank our dedicated employees and board members for their work in helping to accomplish our 
mission. 

Best Regards, 

Brad Krehbiel

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 banking and 
loan production offices in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. 
The earnings of the Company are primarily dependent on 
the  Bank's  net  interest  income,  which  is  the  difference 
between interest earned on loans and investments, and the 
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits 
and other borrowings. 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 
composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing 
liabilities,  and  the  level  of  non-performing  assets.  The 
Company's net earnings are also affected by the generation 
of  non-interest  income,  which  consists  primarily  of  gains 
from  the  sale  of  loans  and  real  estate  owned,  fees  for 
servicing  loans,  commissions  on  the  sale  of  uninsured 
investment  products,  and  service  charges  on  deposit 
accounts. The Bank incurs expenses in addition to interest 
expense  in  the  form  of  compensation  and  benefits, 
occupancy  and  equipment  expenses,  provisions  for  loan 
losses, 
insurance, 
services, 
amortization  expense  on  mortgage  servicing  assets,  data 
processing  costs  and  income  taxes.  The  earnings  of 
financial 
the  Bank,  are  also 
significantly  affected  by  prevailing  economic  and 
competitive  conditions,  particularly  changes  in  interest 
rates,  government  monetary  and  fiscal  policies,  and 
regulations  of  various  regulatory  authorities.  Lending 
activities  are  influenced  by  the demand for  and  supply  of 
business  credit,  single  family  and  commercial  properties, 
competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and 
the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of deposits 
are  influenced  by  prevailing  market  rates  of  interest  on 
competing investments, account maturities and the levels of 
personal income and savings.

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.  

Allowance for Loan Losses and Related Provision 
The allowance for loan losses is based on periodic analysis 
of  the  loan  portfolio  and  is  maintained  at  an  amount 
considered to be appropriate by management to provide for 
probable  losses  inherent  in  the  loan  portfolio  as  of  the 
balance sheet dates. In this analysis, management considers 
factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences of 
loan impairment, actual and anticipated changes in the size 
of the portfolios, national and regional economic conditions 
such  as  unemployment  data,  loan  delinquencies,  local 
economic  conditions,  demand  for  single  family  homes, 
demand for commercial real estate and building lots, loan 
portfolio  composition,  historical  loss  experience  and 
observations made by the Company's ongoing internal audit 
and regulatory exam processes. Loans are charged off to the 
extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The Company

has  established  separate  processes  to  determine  the 
appropriateness  of 
its

homogeneous  single  family  and  consumer  loan  portfolios 
and 
portfolios.  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  determination  of  the 
allowance 
commercial, 
commercial  real  estate  and  multi-family  loan  portfolios 
involves assigning standardized risk ratings and loss factors 
that  are  periodically  reviewed.  The  loss  factors  are 
estimated based on the Company's own loss experience and 
identified  credit 
are  assigned 
weaknesses.  For  each  non-performing  loan,  the  Company 
also performs an individual analysis of impairment that is 
based on the expected cash flows or the value of the assets 
collateralizing  the  loans  and  establishes  any  necessary 
reserves or charges off all loans, or portions thereof, that are 
deemed uncollectible.  

loans  without 

to  all 

The  appropriateness  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  adjustments  due  to  changing  economic 
prospects of borrowers or properties. The fair market value 
of  collateral  dependent  loans  are  typically  based  on  the 
appraised value of the property less estimated selling costs. 
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 
significant impact on the loan loss provision. The allowance 
is  allocated  to  individual  loan  categories  based  upon  the 
relative  risk  characteristics  of  the  loan  portfolios  and  the 
actual 
its 
allowance for loan losses by charging the provision for loan 
losses  against  income  and  by  receiving  recoveries  of 
previously  charged  off  loans.  The  Company  decreases  its 
allowance  by  crediting  the  provision  for  loan  losses.  The 
current year activity in the allowance resulted in a credit to 
the loan loss provision. 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 that have 
not  been  specifically  identified.  Although  management 
believes that based on current conditions the allowance for 
loan  losses  is  maintained  at  an  appropriate  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.

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

The Company maintains significant net deferred tax assets 
for deductible temporary differences, the largest of which 
relates to the allowance for loan and real estate losses. For 
tax purposes only the net charge-offs are deductible while 
the  entire  provision  for  loan  losses  is  used  to  determine 
book income. A deferred tax asset is created because of the 
timing  difference  of  when  the  expense  is  recognized  for 
book  and 
tax  purposes.  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, 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 realizability of 
the 
deferred 
Company’s  cumulative  net  income  in  the prior  three  year 
period, the ability  to implement tax planning strategies to 
accelerate taxable income recognition, and the probability 
that taxable income will be generated in future periods. The 
Company  could  not  currently  identify  any  negative 
evidence.  It  is  possible  that  future  conditions  may  differ 
substantially from those anticipated in determining that no 
valuation allowance was required on deferred tax assets and 
adjustments may be required in the future.

Determining  the  ultimate  settlement  of  any  tax  position

Results of Operations 

Comparison of 2017 with 2016 
Net income was $4.4 million for 2017, a decrease of $2.0 
million compared to net income of $6.4 million for 2016. 
Diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 
2017 was $0.90, a decrease of $0.44 per share compared to 
diluted  earnings  per  share  of  $1.34  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2016. The decrease in net income for 2017 is 
due primarily to a $0.5 million decrease in the gain on sales 
of loans because of a decrease in commercial government 
guaranteed  loan  sales  and  a  $0.5  million  decrease  in  the 
gains on real estate owned because of fewer sales between 
the periods. Net income also decreased $0.4 million due to 
an increase in other non-interest expenses primarily related 
to advertising expenses, $0.3 million due to an increase in 
income tax expense, $0.2 million because of an increase in 
compensation  and  benefits  and  $0.1  million  due  to  an 
increase in the loan loss provision between the periods. The 
increase in income tax expense is due primarily to the $1.1 
million decrease in the Company’s net deferred tax asset as 
a result of the reduction in the corporate federal tax rate in 
connection with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs act 
in the fourth quarter of 2017. These decreases in net income 
were partially offset by an increase in net interest income of 
$0.1 million as a result of an increase in the average interest-
earning  assets  and  a  change  in  the  composition  of  the 
average interest-earning assets held between the periods.  

Net Interest Income 
Net interest income was $25.9 million for 2017, an increase 
of $0.1 million, or 0.5%, from $25.8 million for the same 
period of 2016. Interest income was $27.7 million for 2017, 
an increase of $0.4 million, or 1.2%, from $27.3 million for 
the  same  period  of  2016.  Interest  income  increased  $2.4 
million  because  of  an  increase  in  the  average  interest-
earning  assets  and  a  change  in  the  composition  of  the 
average interest-earning assets held, which resulted in a 6 
basis  point  increase  in  the  average  yields  earned  between 
the  periods.  While  the  average  interest-earning  assets 
increased  $43.2  million  between  the  periods,  the  average 
interest-earning  assets  held  in  higher  yielding  loans 
increased $58.8 million and the amount of average interest-
earning assets held in lower yielding cash and investments 
decreased $15.6 million between the periods. The increase 
in the average outstanding loans between the periods was 
primarily the result of an increase in the commercial loan 
portfolio,  which  occurred  because  of  an  increase  in  loan 
originations  and  a  reduction  in  loan  payoffs  between  the 
periods. The increase in interest income as a result of these 
items was partially offset by a decrease in interest income 
as  a  result  of  recognizing  a  lower  amount  of  yield 
income 
enhancements  between 
decreased $2.1 million due to a decrease in the amount of 
yield  enhancements  recognized  from  loan  prepayment 
penalties,  yield  adjustments  on  purchased  loans,  and  the 
interest payments received on non-accruing and previously 

the  periods.  Interest

charged off commercial real estate loans. This resulted in a 
29  basis  point  decrease  in  the  average  yield  between  the 
periods.  It  is  anticipated  that  the  yield  enhancements 
relating to these items will be lower in subsequent periods 
as the pool of non-accruing and purchased loans continues 
to  decline.  The  average  yield  earned  on  interest-earning 
assets  was  4.13%  for  2017,  a  decrease  of  23  basis  points 
from  4.36%  for  2016.  The  decrease  in  the  average  yield 
earned on interest-earning assets is primarily related to the 
decrease  in  yield  enhancements  recognized  between  the 
periods.  

accounts. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in 
the interest paid on other borrowings due to a decrease in 
the  average  borrowings  outstanding  between  the  periods. 
The  average  non-interest  and  interest-bearing  liabilities 
increased  $34.6  million  between  the  periods,  the  average 
amount  held  in  lower  rate  checking,  savings,  and  money 
market  accounts  increased  $10.4  million,  the  average 
amount held in higher rate premium money market accounts 
increased  $22.5  million,  and  the  average  amount  held  in 
higher rate borrowings and certificates of deposit increased 
$1.7 million between the periods. 

Interest expense was $1.8 million for 2017, an increase of 
$0.2 million, or 12.8%, compared to $1.6 million for 2016. 
The average interest rate paid on non-interest and interest-
bearing  liabilities  was  0.29%  for  2017,  an  increase  of  1 
basis  point  from  0.28%  for  2016.  The  average  rate  paid 
increased between the periods due to an increase in the rates 
paid  on  certain  money  market  and  certificate  of  deposit 

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 average 
outstanding loan balance in the table as loans carrying a zero 
yield.

 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

Net interest margin decreased 25 basis points to 3.86% in 
2017  from  4.11%  in  2016  primarily  because  of  a  $2.1 
million,  or  29  basis  point  decrease 
the  yield 
enhancements recognized between the periods. Average net 
earning assets increased from $48.4 million in 2016 to $57.0 
million  in  2017.  The  $8.6  million  increase  in  net  earning 
assets is due to the net income earned in 2017 adjusted for 
non-cash  items  including  the  expenses  incurred  related  to 
deferred tax asset changes and depreciation.  

in 

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes  

interest 

to  changes 

income  and 

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

Provision for Loan Losses 
The provision for loan losses was ($0.5) million for the year 
ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $0.1 million, from 
($0.6) million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The  

provision  for  loan  losses  increased  between  the  periods 
primarily because of the increase in the reserves required on 
certain  commercial  loans  due  to  a  deterioration  of  their 
credit quality. 

A reconciliation of the allowance for loan losses for 2017 and 2016 is summarized as follows:

The decrease in non-interest income is primarily related to 
the $0.5 million decrease in the gain on sales of loans due 
to  a  decrease  in  commercial  government  guaranteed  loan 
sales  between  the  periods.  Fees  and  service  charges 
decreased $0.1 million between the periods due primarily to 
a  decrease  in  overdraft  fees.  Other  non-interest  income  

decreased $0.1 million because of a decrease in the revenue 
earned  on  the  sale  of  uninsured  investment  products 
between  the  periods.  These  decreases  in  non-interest 
income were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in 
loan servicing fees earned due to an increase in the loans 
being serviced for others between the periods.    

Non-Interest Expense 
Non-interest  expense  was  $25.3  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  an  increase  of  $1.2  million,  from  $24.1 
million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The following table presents the components of non-interest expense:

 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

Gains on real estate owned decreased $0.5 million between 
the periods due to the gains that were recognized on the sale 
of  two  commercial  properties  in  2016.  Other  non-interest 
expense increased $0.4 million primarily due to an increase 
in advertising expense between the periods. Compensation 
expense increased $0.2 million between the periods due to 
normal annual salary increases. Occupancy and equipment 
expense  increased  slightly  because  of  increased  software 
and  equipment  expenses.  Professional  services  expense 
increased  slightly  due  to  an  increase  in  legal  expenses 
between  the  periods.  These  increases  in  non-interest 
expense were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in 
data processing expense due to a decrease in debit card costs 
between the periods.  

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. Income tax expense was 
$4.4  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  an 
increase  of  $0.3  million,  from  $4.1  million  for  the  year 
ended  December  31,  2016.  The  increase  in  income  tax 
expense is due primarily to the $1.1 million decrease in the 
Company’s net deferred tax asset as result of the reduction 
in  the  corporate  federal  tax  rate  in  connection  with  the 
enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the fourth quarter 
of 2017. The increase in income tax expense as a result of 
the  tax  law  change  was  partially  offset  by  a  decrease  in 
income  tax  expense  due  to  a  decrease  in  pre-tax  income 
between the periods.  

Comparison of 2016 with 2015 
Net income was $6.4 million for 2016, an increase of $3.4 
million compared to net income of $3.0 million for 2015. 
Net  income  available  to  common  shareholders  was  $6.4 
million for 2016, an increase of $3.6 million compared to 
net  income  available  to  common  shareholders  of  $2.8 
million  for  2015.  Diluted  earnings  per  share  for  the  year 
ended December 31, 2016 was $1.34, an increase of $0.73 
per share compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.61 
for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in net 
income  for  2016  was  due  primarily  to  a  $5.9  million 
increase in interest income as a result of an increase in the 
average  interest-earning  assets  and  a  change  in  the 
composition  of  the  average  interest-earning  assets  held 
between the periods. Gain on sales of loans increased $0.7 
million due to an increase in single family mortgage loan 
production and sales between the periods. The provision for 
loan losses decreased $0.5 million between the periods due 
to  improvements  in  the  credit  quality  of  the  commercial 
loan  portfolio.  These  increases  in  income  were  partially 
offset by a $1.0 million increase in compensation expense 
due to annual increases in compensation and an increase in 
the  number  of  employees  related  to  the  increased  loan 
production.  Income  tax  expense  increased  $2.5  million 
because  of  the  increase  in  pre-tax  income  between  the 
periods.

Net Interest Income 
Net interest income was $25.8 million for 2016, an increase 
of  $5.9  million,  or  29.1%,  from  $19.9  million  for  2015. 
Interest income was $27.3 million for 2016, an increase of 
$5.8  million,  or  27.5%,  from  $21.5  million  for  2015. 
Interest  income  increased  between  the  periods  because  of 
an  increase  in  the  average  interest-earning  assets  and  a 
change  in  the  composition  of  the  average  interest-earning 
assets  held,  which  resulted  in  an  increase  in  the  average 
yields  earned  between  the  periods.  While  the  average 
interest-earning assets increased $67.3 million between the 
periods,  the  average  interest-earning  assets  held  in  higher 
yielding loans increased $120.4 million and the amount of 
average interest-earning assets held in lower yielding cash 
and  investments  decreased  $53.1  million  between  the 
periods.  The  yield  on  average  interest-earning  assets  was 
also  enhanced  by  $2.2  million,  or  30  basis  points,  due  to 
loan prepayment penalties, yield adjustments recognized on 
purchased  loans,  and  interest  payments  received  on  non-
accruing and previously charged off loans during 2016. The 
increase  in  the  average  outstanding  loans  between  the 
periods  was  primarily  the  result  of  an  increase  in  the 
commercial  loan  portfolio,  which  occurred  because  of  an 
increase in loan originations and a reduction in loan payoffs 
between  the  periods.  Average  outstanding  loans  also 
increased $18.6 million between the periods as a result of 
the  acquisitions  that  occurred  in  the  third  quarter of 2015 
and the second quarter of 2016. The average yield earned 
on interest-earning assets was 4.36% for 2016, an increase 
of 53 basis points from 3.83% for 2015.  

Interest expense was $1.6 million for 2016, an increase of 
$0.1 million, or 5.7%, compared to $1.5 million for 2015. 
Interest  expense  increased  because  of  an  increase  in  the 
average outstanding interest-bearing liabilities. The average 
rate  paid  on  interest-bearing  liabilities  decreased  1  basis 
point  between  the  periods  because  of  the  change  in  the 
composition  of  the  average  interest-bearing  liabilities. 
While  the  average  interest-bearing  liabilities  increased 
$62.9 million between the periods, the average amount held 
in  lower  rate  checking  and  money  market  accounts 
increased  $58.0  million  and  the  average  amount  held  in 
higher  rate  certificates  of  deposits  and  other  borrowings 
increased $4.9 million between the periods. The increase in 
the average outstanding deposits between the periods was 
primarily due to the $42.9 million increase as a result of the 
acquisitions that occurred in the third quarter of 2015 and 
the second quarter of 2016. The average interest rate paid 
on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.28% for 2016 compared 
to 0.29% for 2015. Net interest margin (net interest income 
divided  by  average  interest-earning  assets)  for  2016  was 
4.11%, an increase of 55 basis points compared to 3.56% 
for 2015.   

  
  
  
 
 
 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

Net interest margin increased to 4.11% in 2016 from 3.56% 
in 2015 primarily because of a change in the composition of 
average  interest-earning  assets  held,  which  resulted  in  an 
increase in the average yields earned between the periods. 
The increase in the average yields earned was due to having 
larger average balances of higher earning loans and smaller 
average  balances  of  lower  earning  cash  and  investments 
during 2016 when compared to 2015. The yield on average 
interest-earning assets was also enhanced $2.2 million, or 
30 basis points, in 2016 due to loan prepayment penalties, 
yield  adjustments  recognized  on  purchased  loans,  and 
interest payments received on non-accruing and previously 
charged  off  loans.  Average  net  earning  assets  increased 
from $43.9 million in 2015 to $48.4 million in 2016. The 
$4.5 million increase in net earning assets was due primarily 
to the net income earned in 2016.  

The provision for loan losses was ($0.6) million for the year 
ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $0.4 million, from 
($0.2) million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The 
provision  for  loan  losses  decreased  between  the  periods 
primarily because of the decrease in the reserve percentages 
applied to certain risk rated loan categories as a result of an 
internal analysis performed. 

Non-interest  income  was  $8.2  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2016, an increase of $0.5 million from $7.7 
million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase 
in  non-interest  income  was  primarily  related  to  the  $0.7 
million  increase  in  the  gain  on  sales  of  loans  due  to  an 
increase  in  single  family  loan  originations  and  sales 
between  the  periods.  Fees  and  service  charges  increased 
$0.1  million  between  the  periods  due  primarily  to  an 
increase in debit card income. Loan servicing fees increased 
$0.1  million  due  to  an  increase  in  the  loans  serviced  for 
others between the periods. These increases were partially 
offset  by  a  $0.3  million  decrease  in  other  non-interest 
income  because  of  a  decrease  in  the  gains  realized  on 
acquisitions between the periods.  

Non-interest expense was $24.1 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2016, an increase of $0.9 million from $23.2 
million 
the  year  ended  December  31,  2015. 
Compensation expense increased $1.0 million between the 
periods  due  to  annual  increases  in  compensation  and  an 
increase in the number of employees between the periods  

for 

because of  the  increased  loan production. Occupancy  and 
equipment  expense  increased  $0.3  million  because  of 
increased  software  and  equipment  expenses.  Other  non-
interest expense increased $0.1 million due primarily to an 
increase in loan related expenses as a result of the increase 
in  loans  originated  between  the  periods.  Data  processing 
expense increased $0.1 million between the periods due to 
increased  mobile  and  on-line  banking  costs.  Other 
professional expenses increased $0.1 million primarily due 
to  expenses  related  to  the  acquisition  that  occurred  in  the 
second  quarter  of  2016.  These  increases  in  non-interest 
expenses were partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in 
the gains on real estate owned between the periods primarily 
because of the gains that were recognized on the sale of two 
commercial properties during 2016.  

The  Company  considers  the  calculation  of  current  and 
deferred income taxes to be a critical accounting policy that 
is subject to significant estimates. Income tax expense was 
$4.1  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2016,  an 
increase  of  $2.5  million,  from  $1.6  million  for  the  year 
ended  December  31,  2015.  The  increase  in  income  tax 
expense  between  the  periods  was  primarily  related  to  the 
increase in pre-tax income in 2016 when compared to 2015.  

Net  income  available  to  common  shareholders  was  $6.4 
million for 2016, an increase of $3.6 million from the $2.8 
million  net  income  available  to  common  shareholders  for 
2015. Basic earnings per common share for the year ended 
December 31, 2016 was $1.52, an increase of $0.83 from 
the basic earnings per common share of $0.69 for the year 
ended  December  31,  2015.  Diluted  earnings  per  common 
share for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $1.34, an 
increase of $0.73 from diluted earnings per common share 
of $0.61 for the year ended December 31, 2015. Net income 
available to common shareholders and the basic and diluted 
earnings per common share increased primarily because of 
the increase in net income and a reduction in the dividends 
required  to  be  paid  on  the  outstanding  Fixed  Rate 
Cumulative  Perpetual  Preferred  Stock  Series  A  (the 
“Preferred  Stock”)  between  the  periods.  On  February  17, 
2015 the Company redeemed the final 10,000 shares of its 
outstanding Preferred Stock and, as a result, no dividends 
were required to be paid on the Preferred Stock after that 
date.

there  were 

The  increase  in  the  loan  portfolio  in  2017  was  primarily 
because 
than 
originations. Based on current economic conditions and the 
projected  loan  origination  and  prepayment  amounts,  it  is 
anticipated  that  our  overall  loan  portfolio  growth  will  be 
less in 2018 than the growth experienced in 2017.  

loan  prepayments 

Single  family  real  estate  loans  were  $107.0  million  at 
December 31, 2017, an increase of $3.7 million, compared 
to $103.3 million at December 31, 2016. The mortgage loan 
portfolio increased in 2017 due to an increased emphasis on 
originating shorter term and adjustable rate mortgage loans 
that  were  placed  into  the  portfolio.  The  majority  of  the 
longer term mortgage loans that were originated during the 
year  were  sold  into  the  secondary  market  and  were  not 
placed  in  the  loan  portfolio  in  order  to  manage  the 
Company’s interest rate risk position. 

Multi-family  real  estate  loans  were  $28.6  million  at 
December 31, 2017, a decrease of $8.2 million, compared 
to  $36.8  million  at  December  31,  2016.  The  decrease  in 
multi-family  real  estate  loans  is  primarily  because  newly 
originated loans were less than the $15.6 million in loans 
that  were  paid  off  or  transferred  to  other  loan  categories 
during 2017.  

Commercial  real  estate  loans  were  $259.0  million  at 
December 31, 2017, an increase of $28.0 million, compared 
to $231.0 million at December 31, 2016. Commercial real 

14 

estate loan balances increased in 2017 as loan originations 
exceeded  loan  payoffs  during  the  year.  Commercial 
business loans were $79.9 million at December 31, 2017, a 
decrease  of  $5.3  million,  compared  to  $85.2  million  at 
December 31, 2016. The decrease in commercial business 
loans is because there were more loan payoffs in 2017 when 
compared to 2016.  

Construction  or  development  loans  were  $46.4  million  at 
December 31, 2017, an increase of $15.1 million, compared 
to $31.3 million at December 31, 2016. The increase was 
primarily  related  to  an  increase  in  multi-family  and 
commercial  construction  loans  between  the  periods.  The 
increase  was  the  result  of  the  following  activity  during 
2017:  $26.8  million  in  new  construction  loans  originated, 
$13.2 million in paid off loans, $9.7 million in advances on 
existing  loans  and  $8.2  million  of  loans  moved  to  a 
permanent loan classification upon completion of a project.  

Home equity lines of credit were $36.9 million at December 
31,  2017,  a  decrease  of  $3.6  million,  compared  to  $40.5 
million at December 31, 2016. The open-end home equity 
lines are generally written with an adjustable rate and a 10 
year  draw  period  which  requires  interest  only  payments 
followed  by  a  10  year  repayment  period  which  fully 
amortizes the outstanding balance. Closed-end home equity 
loans are written with fixed or adjustable rates with terms 
up  to  15  years.  Home  equity  loans  were  $15.8  million  at 
December 31, 2017, a decrease of $0.5 million, compared 

  
  
    
  
      
  
  
 
  
    
  
     
  
  
  
  
  
 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
      
        
  
     
       
  
      
        
  
      
       
  
      
       
  
    
    
      
        
  
     
       
  
      
        
  
      
       
  
      
       
  
      
        
  
     
       
  
      
        
  
      
       
  
      
       
  
   
    
    
    
   
    
    
    
   
    
    
    
      
        
  
     
       
  
      
        
  
      
       
  
      
       
  
   
   
   
    
   
    
   
    
   
   
   
   
    
   
    
   
    
   
   
   
   
    
   
    
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
    
       
   
   
      
   
    
       
   
    
      
   
    
      
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

to $16.3 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease in the 
open-end equity lines and closed-end equity loans is related 
primarily  to  an  increase  in  loan  payoffs  as  borrowers 
continued  to  refinance  their  homes  and  roll  outstanding 
equity loan balances into their first mortgage.  

Recreational vehicle loans were $13.2 million at December 
31,  2017,  an  increase  of  $5.6  million,  compared  to  $7.6 
million at December 31, 2016. These loans have been made 
primarily to finance the recreational vehicle sales of a single 
dealer  within  the  Bank’s  market  area  and  the  increase  in 
balances  between  the  periods  is  due  to  an  increase  in 
originations.  

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.  The 
current level of the allowance for loan losses is a result of 
management’s assessment of the risks within the portfolio 
based  on  the  information  obtained  through  the  credit 
evaluation  process.  The  Company  utilizes  a  risk-rating 
system  on  non-homogeneous  commercial  real  estate  and 
commercial  business  loans  that  includes  regular  credit 
reviews to identify and quantify the risk in the commercial 

portfolio.  Management  conducts  quarterly  reviews  of  the 
entire  loan  portfolio  and  evaluates  the  need  to  adjust  the 
allowance balance on the basis of these reviews. 

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

The allowance for loan losses was $9.3 million, or 1.57% of 
gross  loans  at  December  31,  2017,  compared  to  $9.9 
million, or 1.77% of gross loans at December 31, 2016. The 
allowance for loan losses decreased primarily due the lower 
reserve percentages used for certain risk rated commercial 
loans as a result of an internal analysis of the most recent 
charge-off history that was performed during the year. This 
decrease was partially offset by an increase in reserves due 
to  a  $34  million  increase  in  the  loan  portfolio  during  the 
year,  as  well  as  increased  specific  reserves  for  non-
performing commercial loans.

The  allocated  reserve  percentages  for  single  family, 
commercial  real  estate,  and  commercial  business  loans 
decreased  in  2017  due  to  the  general  improvement  in  the 
credit quality of these loan portfolios. The allocation of the 
allowance for loan losses for consumer loans increased due 
to  an  increase in  the outstanding  balances  and  changes  in 
the  types  of  loans  held  in  these  categories  between  the 
periods.  

Allowance for Real Estate Losses 
Real estate properties acquired or expected to be acquired 
through loan foreclosures are initially recorded at fair value 
less  estimated  selling  costs.  Management  periodically 
performs  valuations  and  an  allowance  for  losses  is 
established  if  the  carrying  value of  a property  exceeds  its 
fair  value  less  estimated  selling  costs.  There  was  no 
allowance for real estate losses at December 31, 2017 and 
the balance of the allowance was $0.7 million at December 
31, 2016.  

Non-performing Assets 
Loans are reviewed at least quarterly and if the collectability 
of any loan is doubtful, it is placed on non-accrual status.  

Loans  are  placed  on  non-accrual  status  when  either 
principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, unless, in 
the judgment of management, the loan is well collateralized 
and in the process of collection. Interest accrued and unpaid 
at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged 
against  interest  income.  Subsequent  payments  are  either 
applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as 
interest  income,  depending  on  the  assessment  of  the 
ultimate  collectability  of  the  loan.  Restructured  loans 
include the Bank's troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) that 
involved  forgiving  a  portion  of  interest  or  principal  or 
making a loan at a rate materially less than the market rate 
to  borrowers  whose  financial  condition  has  deteriorated. 
Foreclosed  and repossessed assets  include assets  acquired 
in  settlement  of  loans.  Total  non-performing  assets  were 
$3.8  million  at  December  31,  2017,  a  decrease  of  $0.1 
million, or 3.3%, from $3.9 million at December 31, 2016. 
loans  decreased  $0.1  million  and 
Non-performing 
foreclosed  and  repossessed  assets  were  the  same  between 
the periods. The following table sets forth the amounts and 
categories of non-performing assets (non-accrual loans and 
foreclosed  and  repossessed  assets)  in  the  Company’s

Gross interest income which would have been recorded had 
the  non-accruing  loans  been  current  in  accordance  with 
their original terms amounted to $0.3 million, $0.6 million 
and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 
2016  and  2015,  respectively.  The  amounts  that  were 
included in interest income on a cash basis for these loans 
were  $0.1  million,  $0.4  million  and  $0.2  million, 
respectively.  

At  December  31,  2017,  2016  and  2015,  there  were  loans 
included in loans receivable, net, with terms that had been 
modified in a TDR totaling $3.0 million, $3.3 million and 
$2.5  million,  respectively.  Had  the  loans  performed  in 
accordance with their original terms throughout 2017, 2016 
and 2015, the Company would have recorded gross interest 
income  of  $0.4  million,  $0.6  million  and  $0.4  million, 
respectively.  During  2017,  2016  and  2015  the  Company 
recorded gross interest income of $0.2 million, $0.4 million 
and $0.2 million, respectively. 

For the loans that were modified in 2017, $0.6 million were 
unclassified  and  performing  and  $0.4  million  were  non-
performing at December 31, 2017. The decrease in TDRs in 
2017  relates  primarily  to  one  commercial  relationship 
totaling  $0.5  million  that  had  performed  according  to  the 
restructured  terms  and  met  the  criteria  to  be  upgraded  to 
non-TDR status during the year. 

Of the loans that were modified in 2017 and outstanding at 
December 31, 2017, $0.8 million related to loans secured  

by first or second mortgages on a single family property and 
the  remaining  modifications  related  to  other  consumer  or 
commercial business loans. 

For the loans that were modified in 2016, $0.2 million were 
unclassified  and  performing,  and  $1.7  million  were  non-
performing at December 31, 2016. The increase in TDRs in 
2016  related  primarily  to  one  commercial  relationship 
totaling $1.3 million that was downgraded from performing 
to  non-performing  status  and  was  restructured  during  the 
year.  Of  the  loans  that  were  modified  in  2016  and 
outstanding at December 31, 2016, $1.3 million related to 
loans  secured  by  commercial  real  estate,  $0.4  million 
related  to  first  or  second  mortgages  on  a  single  family 
property  and  the  remaining  modifications  related  to  other 
consumer or commercial business loans. 

For the loans that were modified in 2015, $0.5 million were 
unclassified  and  performing,  and  $0.7  million  were  non-
performing at December 31, 2015. The decrease in TDRs in 
2015  related  primarily 
to  a  group  of  commercial 
development loans totaling $6.0 million that were upgraded 
to performing status and met the criteria to be removed from 
TDR classification during the year. Of the loans that were 
modified  in  2015  and  outstanding  at  December  31,  2015, 
$0.8  million  related  to  loans  secured  by  first  or  second 
mortgages  on  single  family  properties  and  the  remaining 
modifications  related  to  other  consumer  or  commercial 
business loans.

In addition to the TDRs and the non-performing loans set 
forth in the previous table of all non-performing assets, the 
Company  may  identify  other  potential  problem  loans. 
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. There was 
one  potential  problem  loan  relationship  totaling  $7.5 
million  identified  by  the  Company  as  of  December  31, 
2017.  These  loans  are  secured  primarily  by  multi-family 
properties  and  other  business  assets.  There  were  no 
potential  problem  loans  identified  by  the  Company  as  of 
December 31, 2016. The four loan relationships that were 
reported as potential problem loans at December 31, 2015 
were  $6.0  million  in  loans  to  two  unrelated  trucking 
companies and $0.5 million in loans secured by agricultural 
assets to two unrelated individuals.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources  
The Company attempts to manage its liquidity position so 
that the funding needs of borrowers and depositors are met 
timely and in a 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 
obtain  retail,  internet,  or  brokered  deposits  or  to  borrow 
funds from third parties such as the FHLB or the Federal 
Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.  

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  Bank. 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 

18 

additional  borrowings  with  the  FHLB  or  Federal  Reserve 
Bank of Minneapolis to generate additional cash.  

The  primary  financing  activity  is  the  attraction  of  retail, 
commercial,  and  internet  deposits.  The  Bank  also  has  the 
ability to borrow additional funds from the FHLB or Federal 
Reserve  Bank  of  Minneapolis  by  pledging  additional 
securities or loans, subject to applicable borrowing base and 
collateral requirements. See “Note 12 FHLB Advances and 
Other Borrowings” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements  for  more  information  on  additional  advances 
that  could  be  drawn  based  upon  existing  collateral  levels 
with  the  FHLB  and  the  Federal  Reserve  Bank  of 
Minneapolis.  

The Bank'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.  

the 

following  major 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  at  December  31,  2017  were 
$37.6  million,  an  increase  of  $10.0  million,  compared  to 
$27.6 million at December 31, 2016. Net cash provided by 
operating  activities  during  2017  was  $17.0  million.  The 
Company  conducted 
investing 
activities  during  2017:  principal  payments  and  maturity 
proceeds received on securities available for sale and FHLB 
stock were $25.0 million; purchases of securities available 
for  sale  and  FHLB  stock  were  $24.0  million;  and  the 
proceeds  from  the  sale  of  premises  and  other  real  estate 
were $0.3 million. The Company also purchased premises 
and  equipment  of  $1.0  million  and  net  loans  receivable 
increased  $43.2  million.  Net  cash  used  by  investing 
activities  during  2017  was  $42.9  million.  The  Company 
conducted  the  following  major  financing  activities  during 
2017:  repaid  borrowings  of  $106.2  million,  received 
proceeds  from  borrowings  of  $99.2  million,  and  deposits 
increased  $42.8  million.  Net  cash  provided  by  financing 
activities was $35.9 million for 2017. 

  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
     
     
     
     
  
  
        
           
           
           
           
  
  
     
          
          
         
         
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

The Bank has certificates of deposits from customers with 
outstanding  balances  of  $65.6  million  that  mature  during 
2018. Based upon past experience, management anticipates 
that the majority of the deposits will renew for another term. 
The Company believes that deposits that do not renew will 
be  replaced  with  deposits  from  other  customers  or  FHLB 
advances. Proceeds from the sale of securities could also be 
used to fund unanticipated outflows of deposits. 

The  Bank  has  deposits  of  $77.0  million  in  checking  and 
money  market  accounts  of  six  customers  that  have 
individual  relationship  balances greater  than $5.0  million. 
These  funds  may  be  withdrawn  at  any  time,  however, 
management anticipates that the majority of these deposits 
will remain on deposit with the Bank over the next twelve 
months.  If  these  deposits  are  withdrawn,  it  is  anticipated 
that they would be funded with available cash or replaced 
with  deposits  from  other  customers  or  FHLB  advances. 

Proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to 
fund unanticipated outflows of deposits. 

Dividends from the Bank have been the Company’s primary 
source  of  cash.  The  Bank  is  restricted  under  applicable 
federal banking law from paying dividends to the Company 
without prior notice to and non-objection of the applicable 
regulator.  During  2017,  the  Bank  paid  dividends  to  the 
Company  of  $6.0  million  and  at  December  31,  2017,  the 
Company  had  $2.1  million  in  cash  and  other  assets  that 
could readily be turned into cash. 

The  Company’s  primary  use  of  cash  is  the  payment  of 
holding company level expenses including the payment of 
director  and  management  fees,  legal  expenses,  and  other 
regulatory costs. The Company plans to continue to fund its 
liquidity  needs  through  dividends  from  the  Bank,  or  if 
deemed prudent, by obtaining external capital.  

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments 
The Company has certain obligations and commitments to make future payments under existing contracts. At December 31, 
2017, the aggregate contractual obligations (excluding bank deposits) and commercial commitments were as follows:

Regulatory Capital Requirements 
Effective  January  1,  2015  the  capital  requirements  of  the 
Company  and  the  Bank  were  changed  to  implement  the 
regulatory requirements of the Basel III capital reforms. The 
Basel  III  requirements,  among  other  things,  (i)  apply  a 
strengthened  set  of  capital  requirements  to  the  Bank  (the 
Company is exempt, pursuant to the Small Bank Holding 
Company  Policy  Statement  (Policy  Statement)  described 
below), including requirements relating to common equity 
as  a  component  of  core  capital,  (ii)  implement  a  “capital 
conservation buffer” against risk and a higher minimum tier 
1  capital  requirement,  and  (iii)  revise  the  rules  for 
calculating  risk-weighted  assets  for  purposes  of  such 
requirements.  The  rules  made  corresponding  revisions  to 
the  prompt  corrective  action  framework  and  include  the 
capital ratios and buffer requirements which will be phased 
in  incrementally,  with  full  implementation  scheduled  for 
January  1,  2019.  Failure  by  the  Bank  to  meet  minimum 
capital  requirements  can  initiate  certain  mandatory  and  

19 

possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, 
if  undertaken,  could  have  a  direct  material  effect  on  the 
Company's  financial  statements.  Under  capital  adequacy 
guidelines  and  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt 
corrective  action,  both  the  Company  and  the  Bank  must 
meet  specific  capital  guidelines  that  involve  quantitative 
measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance 
sheet  items  as  calculated  under  regulatory  accounting 
practices.  The  capital  amounts  and  classification  are  also 
subject  to  qualitative  judgments  by  the  regulators  about 
components, 
factors. 
Management  believes  that,  as  of  December  31,  2017,  the 
Bank’s  capital  ratios  were  in  excess  of  those  quantitative 
capital ratio standards set forth under the prompt corrective 
action regulations. However, there can be no assurance that 
the Bank will continue to maintain such status in the future. 
The  OCC  has  extensive  discretion  in  its  supervisory  and 
the  
enforcement  activities,  and  can

requirement  to  be  “well-capitalized”  in  the  future.  See 
“Note 17 Regulatory Capital” of the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements for a table which reflects the Bank’s 
capital compared to these capital requirements.  

In the second quarter of 2015, the FRB amended its Policy 
Statement, which exempted small bank holding companies 
from  the  above  capital  requirements,  by  raising  the  asset 
size  threshold  for  determining  applicability  from  $500 
million  to  $1  billion.  The  Policy  Statement  was  also 
expanded  to  include  savings  and  loan  holding  companies 
that  meet  the  Policy  Statement’s  qualitative  requirements 
for exemption. The Company met the qualitative exemption 
requirements,  and  therefore,  is  exempt  from  the  above 
capital requirements.  

The Company also serves as a  source of capital, liquidity 
and  financial  support  to  the  Bank.  Depending  upon  the 
operating  performance  of  the  Bank  and  the  Company’s 
other liquidity and capital needs, the Company may find it 
prudent, subject to prevailing capital market conditions and 
other factors, to raise additional capital through issuance of 
its  common  stock  or  other  equity  securities.  Additional 
capital would potentially permit the Company to implement 
a  strategy  of  growing  Bank  assets.  Depending  on  the 
circumstances, if it were to raise capital, the Company may 
deploy it to the Bank for general banking purposes, or may 
retain some or all of it for use by the Company.  

If  the  Company  raises  capital  through  the  issuance  of 
additional  shares  of  common  stock  or  other  equity 
securities, it would dilute the ownership interests of existing 
stockholders and, if issued at less than the Company’s book 
value  would  dilute  the  per  share  book  value  of  the 
Company’s common stock, dilute the Company’s earnings 
per  share,  and  could  result  in  a  change  of  control  of  the 
Company  and  the  Bank.  New  investors  may  also  have 
rights, preferences and privileges senior to the Company’s 
current  stockholders  which  may  adversely  impact  the 
Company’s current stockholders. The Company’s ability to 
raise  additional  capital  through  the  issuance  of  equity 
securities, if deemed prudent, will depend on, among other 
factors, conditions in the capital markets at that time, which 
are  outside  of  the  Company’s  control,  and  on  the 
Company’s financial performance and plans. Accordingly, 
the Company may not be able to raise additional capital, if 
deemed  prudent,  on  favorable  economic  terms,  or  other 
terms  acceptable  to  it.  If  the  Bank  cannot  satisfactorily 
address its capital needs as they arise, the Bank’s ability to 
maintain  or  expand  its  operations,  maintain  compliance 
with the regulatory capital requirements, to operate without 
additional regulatory or other restrictions, and its operating 
results, could be materially adversely affected.  

Dividends 
The  declaration  of  dividends  is  subject  to,  among  other 
things,  the  Company's  financial  condition  and  results  of 

regulatory 

operations,  the  Bank's  compliance  with  regulatory  capital 
requirements  and  other 
tax 
considerations,  industry  standards,  economic  conditions, 
general business practices and other factors. The Company 
has  not  made  any  dividend  payments 
to  common 
stockholders during the three year period ending December 
31, 2017. 

restrictions, 

Under applicable federal banking laws and regulations, no 
dividends  can  be  declared  or  paid  by  the  Bank  to  the 
Company  without  notice  to  and  non-objection  from  the 
applicable banking regulator. There is no assurance that the 
Bank  and  the  Company  would  satisfy  the  applicable 
regulatory  requirements  necessary  to  effect  any  such 
dividends.  The  payment  of  dividends  by  the  Company  is 
dependent upon the Company having adequate cash or other 
assets that can be converted to cash to pay dividends to its 
stockholders.  Further,  any  determination  as  to  whether, 
when  and  in  what  amount  to  declare  and  pay  any  such 
dividends would be subject to the discretion of the board of 
directors  of  both  the  Bank  and  the  Company  and  would 
depend  on  numerous  factors  including  the  results  of 
operations,  financial  conditions,  growth  plans,  and  cash 
flow requirements of the Company and the Bank.  

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

New Accounting Pronouncements  
In  May  2014,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board 
(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-
09,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers  (Topic  606), 
with an original effective date for annual reporting periods 
beginning  after  December  15,  2016.  In  August  2015,  the 
FASB  issued  ASU  2015-14,  which  deferred  the  effective 
date  of  ASU  2014-09  to  annual  and  interim  reporting 
periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. 
This ASU is a converged standard between the FASB and 
the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that 
provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model 
for  all  contracts  with  customers  across  transactions  and 
industries.  The  primary  objective  of  the  ASU  is  revenue 
recognition that represents the transfer of promised goods 
or  services  to  customers  in  an  amount  that  reflects  the 
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in 
exchange for those goods or services. In March, April, May 
and  December  of  2016  and  February  and  September  of 
2017, the FASB also issued ASU 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-
12, 2016-20, 2017-05, and 2017-13, respectively, related to 
Topic  606.  The  amendments  in  these  subsequently  issued 

20 

   
  
  
  
  
  
   
 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

ASUs do not change the core principles of the previously 
issued  guidance,  but  instead  provide  more  clarity  and 
implementation guidance for certain aspects of the original 
ASU. The Company has completed its assessment of which 
revenue  sources  are  within  the  scope  of  this  ASU  and 
evaluated  the  applicable  contracts  to  assess  and  quantify 
accounting  methodology  changes  resulting  from 
the 
adoption  of  the  standard.  Based  on  this  assessment,  the 
adoption  of  this  ASU  and  the  related  amendments  in  the 
first quarter of 2018 did not have a material impact on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial 
Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and 
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. 
The amendments in this ASU require, among other things, 
equity  investments  to  be  measured  at  fair  value,  with 
changes  in  fair  value  recognized  in  net  income,  and  that 
public  business  entities  use  the  exit  price  notion  when 
measuring  the  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  for 
disclosure purposes. The amendments also require an entity 
to  present  separately  in  other  comprehensive  income  the 
portion  of  the  total  change  in  the  fair  value  of  a  liability 
resulting  from  a  change  in  the  instrument-specific  credit 
risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at 
fair  value  in  accordance  with  the  fair  value  option  for 
financial  instruments.  In  addition,  the  amendments  also 
eliminate  the  requirement  for  public  business  entities  to 
disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to 
estimate  the fair value that is required to be disclosed for 
financial  instruments  measured  at  amortized  cost  on  the 
balance sheet. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in 
practice  and  is  effective  for  public  business  entities  for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including 
interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments 
should  be  applied  by  means  of  a  cumulative-effect 
adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the 
fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this ASU in the first 
quarter  of  2018  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases 
(Topic 842). The amendments in the ASU create Topic 842, 
Leases, and supersede the lease requirements in Topic 840, 
Leases.  The  objective  of  this  ASU  is  to  establish  the 
principles  that  lessees  and  lessors  shall  apply  to  report 
useful information to users of financial statements about the 
amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from 
a  lease.  The  main  difference  between  previous  Generally 
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and this ASU is 
the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees 
for those leases classified as operating leases under previous 
GAAP. The amendment requires a lessee to recognize in the 
statement  of  financial  position  a  liability  to  make  lease 
payments  (the  lease  liability)  and  the  right-of-use  asset 
representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease 
term.  The  accounting  applied  by  a  lessor  is  largely 

unchanged  from  that  applied  under  previous  GAAP.  In 
transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and 
measure  leases  at  the  beginning  of  the  earliest  period 
presented  using  a  modified  retrospective  approach.  The 
modified  retrospective  approach  includes  a  number  of 
optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply 
that  will,  in  effect,  continue  to  account  for  leases  that 
commence  before  the  effective  date  in  accordance  with 
previous  GAAP  unless 
is  modified.  The 
the 
amendments  in  the  ASU,  for  public  business  entities,  are 
effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15, 
2018,  including  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years. 
The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2019 is not 
anticipated  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s 
consolidated financial statements.

In  June  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-13,  Financial 
Instruments-Credit  Losses  (Topic  326):  Measurement  of 
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments 
in this ASU affect all entities that measure credit losses on 
financial instruments including loans, debt securities, trade 
receivables,  net  investments  in  leases,  off-balance  sheet 
credit  exposures,  reinsurance  receivables,  and  any  other 
financial  asset  that  has  a  contractual  right  to  receive  cash 
that is not specifically excluded. The main objective of this 
ASU  is  to  provide  financial  statement  users  with  more 
decision-useful information about the expected credit losses 
on financial instruments and other commitments to extend 
credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To 
achieve this objective, the amendments in this ASU replace 
the  incurred  loss  impairment  methodology  required  in 
current  GAAP  with  a  methodology  that  reflects  expected 
credit losses that requires consideration of a broader range 
of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit 
losses. The amendments in this ASU will affect entities to 
varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets 
held by the entity, the duration of the assets held, and how 
the  entity  applies  the  current  incurred  loss  methodology. 
The amendments in this ASU, for public business entities 
that are SEC filers, are effective for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within 
those  annual  periods.  All  entities  may  adopt 
the 
amendments  in  the  ASU  early  as  of  the  fiscal  years 
beginning  after  December  15,  2018,  including  interim 
periods  within  those  fiscal  years.  Amendments  should  be 
applied using a modified retrospective transition method by 
means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the 
beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. 
Management is in the process of evaluating the impact that 
the  adoption of  this ASU  in the  first  quarter of 2020 will 
have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement 
of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash 
Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this ASU 
affect all entities that are required to present a statement of 
cash flows under Topic 230 and address the following eight

entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, 
and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years  with  early 
adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendments should 
be applied using a retrospective transition method to each 
period  presented.  The  adoption  of  this  ASU  in  the  first 
quarter  of  2018  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the

September  22,  2016  and  November  17,  2016  Emerging

have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated 
financial  statements  other  than  to  enhance  the  disclosures 
on the effects of new accounting pronouncements as they 
move closer to adoption.  

the  FASB 

issued  ASU  2017-04, 
In  January  2017, 
Intangibles-Goodwill  and  Other  (Topic  350):  Simplifying 
the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this 
ASU  were  issued  to  address  concerns  over  the  cost  and  

22 

complexity  of  the  two-step  goodwill  impairment  test  and 
resulted in the removal of the second step of the test. The 
amendments  require  an  entity 
to  apply  a  one-step 
quantitative  test  and  record  the  amount  of  goodwill 
impairment  as  the  excess  of  a  reporting  unit’s  carrying 
amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of 
goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance 
does  not  amend  the  optional  qualitative  assessment  of 
goodwill impairment. This ASU is intended to reduce the 
cost  and  complexity  of  the  two-step goodwill  impairment 
test  and  is  effective  for  public  business  entities  for  fiscal 
years  beginning  after  December  15,  2019,  and  interim 
periods  within  those  fiscal  years  with  early  adoption 
permitted for testing performed after January 1, 2017. Upon 
adoption, 
the  amendments  should  be  applied  on  a 
prospective basis and the entity is required to disclose the 
nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle 
upon  transition.  The  Company  early  adopted  this  ASU  in 
the fourth quarter of 2017 in order to reduce the complexity 
of the goodwill impairment calculation. The adoption of this 
ASU in the fourth quarter of 2017 did not have any impact 
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Receivables  –  Nonrefundable  Fees  and  Other  Costs

Callable  Debt  Securities.  The  amendments  in  this  ASU 
shorten  the  amortization  period  for  certain  callable  debt 
securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments 
require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. 
The amendments do not require an accounting change for 
securities  held  at  a  discount  as  discounts  continue  to  be 
amortized to maturity. This ASU is intended to more closely 
align the amortization period of premiums and discounts to 
expectations 
the 
underlying  securities.  In  most  cases,  market  participants 
price securities to the call date that produces the worst yield 
when the coupon is above current market rates and prices 
securities  to  maturity  when  the  coupon  is  below  market 
rates.  As  a  result,  the  amendments  more  closely  align 
interest income recorded on bonds held at a premium or a 
discount with the economics of the underlying instrument. 
This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and is 
effective  for  public  business  entities  for  fiscal  years,  and

amendments  in  this  ASU  provide  clarity  about  which 
changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment 
award require an  entity  to  apply  modification  accounting. 
The  ASU  is  effective  for  all  entities  for  fiscal  years

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, Income 
Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): 
Reclassification  of  Certain  Tax  Effects  from  Accumulated 
Other  Comprehensive  Income.  The  amendments  in  this 
ASU  require  a  reclassification  from  accumulated  other 
comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax 
effects resulting from the newly enacted federal corporate 
income  tax  rate.  The  amount  of  the  reclassification  is  the 
difference between the historical corporate income tax rate 
and the newly enacted 21 percent corporate income tax rate. 
This  ASU  is  effective  for  all  entities  for  fiscal  years 
beginning  after  December  15,  2018,  and  interim  periods 
within  those  fiscal  years.  Early  adoption  is  permitted, 
including  adoption  in  any  interim  period,  for  public 
business entities such as the Company for reporting periods 
for which financial statement have not yet been issued. The 
Company opted to early adopt this ASU as of December 31, 
2017.  The  impact  on  the  December  31,  2017  financial 
statements  was  a  $157,600  reclassification  between  other 
comprehensive  income  and  retained  earnings  for  the 
stranded tax effects as a result of the change in the federal 
corporate tax rate.  

Market Risk 
Market  risk  is  the  risk  of  loss  from  adverse  changes  in 
market prices and rates. The Company's market risk arises 
primarily  from  interest  rate  risk  inherent  in  its  investing, 
lending and deposit taking activities. Management actively 
monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. 

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

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

The  following  table  discloses  the  projected  changes  in 
market value to the Company’s interest-earning assets and 
interest-bearing liabilities based upon incremental 100 basis 
point changes in interest rates from interest rates in effect 
on December 31, 2017.

Market Value 

(the  Model  Assumptions) 

The  preceding  table  was  prepared  utilizing  the  following 
assumptions 
regarding 
prepayment  and  decay  ratios  that  were  determined  by 
management based upon its review of historical prepayment 
speeds and decay rates. Fixed rate loans were assumed to 
prepay at annual rates of between 2% and 42%, depending 
on the note rate and the period to maturity. Adjustable rate 
mortgages (ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual rates 
of between 6% and 48%, depending on the note rate and the 
period  to  maturity.  Mortgage-backed  securities  were 
projected to have prepayments based upon the underlying 
collateral  securing  the  instrument.  All  loan  prepayments  

vary  based  on  the  note  rate  and  period  to  maturity  of  the 
individual loans. Certificate accounts were assumed not to 
be  withdrawn  until  maturity.  Retail  money  market  and 
passbook accounts were assumed to decay at annual rates of 
2% and 18%, respectively. Retail non-interest checking and 
negotiable  order  of  withdrawal  (NOW)  accounts  were 
assumed  to  decay  at  annual  rates  of  12%  and  14%, 
respectively. Commercial non-interest checking and NOW 
accounts were assumed to decay at annual rates of 27% and 
32%,  respectively.  Commercial  money  market  demand 
accounts (MMDAs) were assumed to decay at annual rates 
of between 1% and 31%.

 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

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 
liabilities,  such  as 
table.  Certain 
certificates of deposit, have fixed rates that restrict interest 
rate  changes  until  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  also  decrease  in  the  event  of  a  substantial 
sustained increase in interest rates.

Asset/Liability Management 
The  Company's  management  reviews  the  impact  that 
changing interest rates will have on the net interest income 
projected  for  the  twelve  months  following  December  31, 
2017 to determine if its current level of interest rate risk is 
acceptable.  The  following  table  projects  the  estimated 
impact  on  net  interest  income  during  the  twelve  month 
period ending December 31, 2018 of immediate interest rate 
changes called rate shocks:

The  preceding  table  was  prepared  utilizing  the  Model 
Assumptions.  Certain  shortcomings  are  inherent  in  the 
method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. In the 
event  of  a  change  in  interest  rates,  prepayment  and  early 
withdrawal  levels  would  likely  deviate  significantly  from 
those assumed in calculating the foregoing table. The ability 
of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the 
event  of  a  substantial  increase  in  interest  rates  and  could 
impact net interest income. The increase in interest income 
in a rising rate environment is because there are more loans 
that are anticipated to re-price to higher interest rates in the 
next twelve months than there are deposits that would re-
price.  

24 

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  in  the  interest  rate  risk 
position and projected profitability. The Committee makes 
adjustments to the asset-liability position of the Bank that 
are reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Bank. This 
Committee  also  reviews  the  Bank's  portfolio,  formulates 
investment  strategies  and  oversees 
timing  and 
implementation  of  transactions  as  intended  to  assure 
attainment of the Bank's objectives in an effective manner. 
In  addition,  the  Board  reviews,  on  a  quarterly  basis,  the 
Bank's asset/liability position, including simulations of the 
effect  on  the  Bank's  capital  of  various  interest  rate 
scenarios. 

the 

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 net interest income 
resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of its asset and 
liability  portfolios  can,  in  certain  situations,  provide  high 
enough returns to justify the increased exposure to sudden 
and unexpected changes in interest rates.  

To  the  extent  consistent  with  its  interest  rate  spread 
objectives, the Bank attempts to manage its interest rate risk 
and has taken a number of steps to restructure its balance 
sheet in order to better match the maturities of its assets and 
liabilities. In the past, more long term fixed rate loans were 
placed into the single family loan portfolio. In recent years, 
the  Bank  has  focused  its  30  year  fixed  rate  single  family 
residential  lending  program  on  loans  that  are  saleable  to 
third  parties  and  generally  places  only  adjustable  rate  or 
shorter  term  fixed  rate  loans  that  meet  certain  risk 
characteristics  into  its  loan  portfolio.  In  addition,  a 
loan 
significant  portion  of 
production is in short term fixed rate loans or adjustable rate 
loans that re-price every one, two, or three years.  

the  Bank’s  commercial 

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.  See  “Note  18  Financial  Instruments 
with Off-Balance Sheet Risk” in the Notes to Consolidated 
information.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 

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,  Iowa,  and 
Wisconsin. The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries, 
Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc. (OIA), which does business 
as Home Federal Investment Services and offers financial 
planning  products  and  services,  and  HFSB  Property 
Holdings, LLC (HPH), which is currently inactive, but has 
acted in the past as an intermediary for the Bank in holding 
and operating certain foreclosed properties.  

The  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein  are 
for  HMN,  the  Bank,  OIA,  and  HPH.  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 (SEC) on March 9, 2018.  

the  consolidated 

Use of Estimates 
In  preparing 
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 
appropriate  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 changes 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. 

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  income  taxes,  are 
reported  as  a  separate  component  of  stockholders’ 
equity  until  realized.  Gains  and  losses  on  the  sale  of 
securities  available  for  sale  are  determined  using  the 
specific  identification  method  and  recognized  on  the 
trade date. Premiums and discounts are recognized in 
interest  income  using  the  interest  method  over  the 
period  to  maturity.  Unrealized  losses  on  securities 
available for sale reflecting a decline in value judged to 
be other than temporary are charged to income and a 
new cost basis is established. 

Management monitors the investment security portfolio for 
impairment on an individual security basis and has a process 
in place to identify securities that could potentially have a 
credit impairment that is other than temporary. This process 
involves analyzing the length of time and extent to which 
the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, 
the market liquidity for the 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 
impaired,  an 
impairment loss is recognized.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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

The allowance for loan losses is based on a periodic analysis 
of  the  loan  portfolio  and  is  maintained  at  an  amount 
considered to be appropriate by management to provide for 
probable  losses  inherent  in  the  loan  portfolio  as  of  the 
balance sheet dates. In this analysis, management considers 
factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences of 
loan impairment, actual and anticipated changes in the size 
of the portfolios, national and regional economic conditions 
(such  as  unemployment  data,  loan  delinquencies,  local 
economic  conditions,  demand  for  single  family  homes, 
demand for commercial real estate and building lots), loan 
portfolio  composition,  historical  loss  experience,  and 
observations made by the Company's ongoing internal audit 
and  regulatory  exam  processes.  In  connection  with  the 
determination of the allowance for loan losses, management 
obtains independent appraisals for significant properties or 
other  collateral  securing  classified  loans.  Appraisals  on 
collateral dependent commercial real estate and commercial 
business loans are obtained when it is determined that the 
borrower’s  risk  profile  has  deteriorated  and  the  loan  is 
classified  as 
third  party 
impaired.  Subsequent  new 
appraisals of properties securing impaired commercial real 
estate and commercial business loans are prepared at least 
every two years. For all land development loan types, a new 
third party appraisal is prepared on an annual basis where 
current activity is not consistent with the assumptions made 
in  the  most  recent  third  party  appraisal.  Non-performing 
residential  and  consumer  home  equity  loans  and  home 
equity lines may have a third party appraisal or an internal 
evaluation completed depending on the size of the loan and 
location  of  the  property.  These  appraisals,  or  internal 
valuations,  are  generally  completed  when  a  residential  or 
consumer  home  equity  loan  or  home  equity  line  of  credit 
becomes 120 days past due and are typically updated after 

the 

impairment 

possession  of  the  property  is  obtained.  Valuations  are 
reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjustments are made to 
the  allowance  for  loan  losses  for  temporary  impairments 
and  charge-offs  are 
is 
taken  when 
determined to be permanent. The fair market value of the 
properties  for  all  loan  types  are  adjusted  for  estimated 
selling costs in order to determine the net realizable value 
of  the  properties.  The  allowance  for  loan  losses  is 
established for known problem loans, as well as for loans 
which  are  not  currently  known  to  require  an  allowance. 
Loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be 
uncollectible. The appropriateness 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 adjustments due to changing 
economic  prospects  of  borrowers  or  properties.  The  fair 
market  value  of  collateral  dependent  loans  are  typically 
based on the appraised value of the property less estimated 
selling costs. The estimates are reviewed periodically and 
adjustments, if any, are recorded in the provision for loan 
losses  in  the  periods  in  which  the  adjustments  become 
known.  The  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 and 
decreases its allowance by crediting the provision for loan 
losses. 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  that  have  not  been 
specifically identified. 

Interest  income  is  recognized  on  an  accrual  basis  except 
when collectability is in doubt. When loans are placed on a 
non-accrual basis, generally when the loan is 90 days past 
due, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed from 
income. If the ultimate collectability of a loan is in doubt 
and the loan is placed in nonaccrual status, the cost recovery 
method is used and cash collected is applied to first reduce 
the principal outstanding. Generally, the Company returns 
a  loan  to  accrual  status  when  all  delinquent  interest  and 
principal  becomes  current  under  the  terms  of  the  loan 
agreement  and  collectability  of  remaining  principal  and 
interest is no longer doubtful. Previously collected interest 
payments that were applied to principal when the loan was 
classified  as  non-accrual  are  recorded  as  interest  income 
using the effective yield method over the estimated life of 
the loan, including expected renewal terms. 

All  impaired  loans  are  valued  at  the  present  value  of 
expected  future  cash  flows  discounted  at  the  loan's  initial 
effective interest rate. The fair value of the collateral of an 
impaired collateral-dependent loan or an observable market 

30 

  
  
  
   
  
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

price,  if  one  exists,  may  be  used  as  an  alternative  to 
discounting. If the value of the impaired loan is less than the 
recorded  investment  in  the  loan,  the  impaired  amount  is 
charged off. A loan is considered impaired when, based on 
current  information  and  events,  it  is  probable  that  the 
Company  will  be  unable  to  collect  all  amounts  due 
according  to  the  contractual  terms  of  the  loan  agreement. 
Impaired loans include all loans which are on non-accrual, 
delinquent as to principal and interest for 90 days or more, 
or  restructured  in  a  troubled  debt  restructuring  (TDR) 
involving a modification of terms. All non-accruing loans 
are reviewed for impairment on an individual basis. 

Included in loans receivable, net, are certain loans that have 
been modified in order to maximize collection of the loan 
balances.  The  Company  evaluates  all  loan  modifications 
and if the Company, for legal or economic reasons related 
to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession 
compared to the original terms and conditions of the loan 
that  the  Company  would  not  otherwise  consider,  the 
modified loan is considered a TDR and is classified as an 
impaired loan. If the TDR loan was performing (accruing) 
prior to the modification, it typically will remain accruing 
after  the  modification  as  long  as  it  continues  to  perform 
according to the modified terms. If the TDR loan was non-
performing (non-accruing) prior to the modification, it will 
remain non-accruing after the modification for a minimum 
of  six  months.  If  the  loan  performs  according  to  the 
modified terms for a minimum of six months, it typically 
will be returned to accruing status. In general, there are two 
conditions in which a TDR loan is no longer considered to 
be  a  TDR  and  potentially  not  classified  as  impaired.  The 
first condition is whether the loan is refinanced with terms 
that  reflect  normal  market  terms  for  the  type  of  credit 
involved. The second condition is whether the loan is repaid 
or charged off. 

Purchased Loans Acquired Through Business 
Combinations  
Purchased  loans  acquired  in  a  business  combination, 
including loans that have evidence of deterioration of credit 
quality  since  origination  and  for  which  it  is  probable,  at 
acquisition, that the Company will be unable to collect all 
contractually  required  payments,  are  initially  recorded  at 
fair value  as  determined by  the present  value of  expected 
future  cash  flows  with  no  valuation  allowance.  The 
difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected at 
acquisition and the investment in the loan is an accretable 
yield adjustment and is recognized as interest income using 
the  effective  yield  method  over  the  life  of  the  loan. 
Contractually required payments for principal and interest 
that  exceed  the  undiscounted  cash  flows  expected  at 
acquisition  is  a  nonaccretable  difference  and  is  not 
recognized as a yield adjustment, loss accrual, or a valuation 
allowance. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to 
the initial investment are recognized prospectively through 
an  adjustment  of  the  yield  on  the  loan  over  its  remaining 

life.  Decreases  in  expected  cash  flows  after  the  loan  is 
acquired  are  recognized  as  an  impairment  and  charged  to 
the provision for loan losses.  

Transfers of Financial Assets and Participating Interests 
Transfers  of  an  entire  financial  asset  or  a  participating 
interest in an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales 
when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control 
over  transferred  assets  is  deemed  to  be  surrendered  when 
(1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the 
transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain 
it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange 
the  transferred  assets,  and  (3)  the  Company  does  not 
maintain  effective  control  over  the  transferred  assets 
through  an  agreement  to  repurchase  them  before  their 
maturity. 

The transfer of a participating interest in an entire financial 
asset  must  also  meet  the  definition  of  a  participating 
interest. A participating interest in a financial asset has all 
of  the  following  characteristics:  (1)  from  the  date  of 
transfer,  it  must  represent  a  proportionate  (pro  rata) 
ownership interest in the financial asset, (2) from the date 
of transfer, all cash flows received, except any cash flows 
allocated  as  any  compensation  for  servicing  or  other 
services performed, must be divided proportionately among 
participating  interest  holders  in  the  amount  equal  to  their 
share ownership, (3) the rights of each participating interest 
holder must have the same priority, and (4) no party has the 
right to pledge or exchange the entire financial asset unless 
all participating interest holders agree to do so.  

Real Estate, net 
Real estate acquired through loan foreclosure or deed in lieu 
of  foreclosure,  is  initially  recorded  at  its  fair  value  less 
estimated selling costs. Third party appraisals are obtained 
as  soon  as  practical  after  obtaining  possession  of  the 
property. 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. 

income.  The  Company  evaluates 

Mortgage Servicing Rights, net 
Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized at fair value and 
amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated 
net  servicing 
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. 

Premises and Equipment, net 
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 

31 

  
  
  
   
  
  
  
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

basis over estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years for office 
buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture 
and equipment.  

Goodwill 
The  Company  records  goodwill  for  acquisition  amounts 
paid in excess of the net assets purchased. Goodwill is not 
amortized, but is tested for impairment at least annually or 
more frequently if there are indications of impairment.  

Core Deposit Intangible, net 
The Company records the estimated fair value of the deposit 
base acquired in an acquisition as a core deposit intangible 
asset. The recorded amount is amortized on a straight line 
basis over the estimated life of the deposits acquired.  

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

Stock Based Compensation 
The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of stock 
option and restricted stock awards issued as compensation 
expense, amortized over the vesting period.  

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  based  on  the  proportion  of  debt 
service  paid  in  the  year  and  then  allocated  to  eligible 
employees.  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 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 of a change in tax rates 
on deferred tax assets and liabilities 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.  

Earnings per Common Share 
Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is 
computed  by  dividing  the  income  available  to  common 
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common 
shares  outstanding  for  the  period.  Diluted  earnings  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.  

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

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

New Accounting Pronouncements  
In  May  2014,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board 
(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-
09,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers  (Topic  606), 
with an original effective date for annual reporting periods 
beginning  after  December  15,  2016.  In  August  2015,  the 
FASB  issued  ASU  2015-14,  which  deferred  the  effective 
date  of  ASU  2014-09  to  annual  and  interim  reporting 
periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. 
This ASU is a converged standard between the FASB and 
the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that 
provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model 
for  all  contracts  with  customers  across  transactions  and 
industries.  The  primary  objective  of  the  ASU  is  revenue 
recognition that represents the transfer of promised goods 

32 

  
  
  
  
  
   
  
  
  
  
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

or  services  to  customers  in  an  amount  that  reflects  the 
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in 
exchange for those goods or services. In March, April, May 
and  December  of  2016  and  February  and  September  of 
2017, the FASB also issued ASU 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-
12, 2016-20, 2017-05, and 2017-13, respectively, related to 
Topic  606.  The  amendments  in  these  subsequently  issued 
ASUs do not change the core principles of the previously 
issued  guidance,  but  instead  provide  more  clarity  and 
implementation guidance for certain aspects of the original 
ASU. The Company has completed its assessment of which 
revenue  sources  are  within  the  scope  of  this  ASU  and 
evaluated  the  applicable  contracts  to  assess  and  quantify 
the 
accounting  methodology  changes  resulting  from 
adoption  of  the  standard.  Based  on  this  assessment,  the 
adoption  of  this  ASU  and  the  related  amendments  in  the 
first quarter of 2018 did not have a material impact on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial 
Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and 
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. 
The amendments in this ASU require, among other things, 
equity  investments  to  be  measured  at  fair  value,  with 
changes  in  fair  value  recognized  in  net  income,  and  that 
public  business  entities  use  the  exit  price  notion  when 
measuring  the  fair  value  of  financial  instruments  for 
disclosure purposes. The amendments also require an entity 
to  present  separately  in  other  comprehensive  income  the 
portion  of  the  total  change  in  the  fair  value  of  a  liability 
resulting  from  a  change  in  the  instrument-specific  credit 
risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at 
fair  value  in  accordance  with  the  fair  value  option  for 
financial  instruments.  In  addition,  the  amendments  also 
eliminate  the  requirement  for  public  business  entities  to 
disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to 
estimate  the fair value that is required to be disclosed for 
financial  instruments  measured  at  amortized  cost  on  the 
balance sheet. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in 
practice  and  is  effective  for  public  business  entities  for 
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including 
interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments 
should  be  applied  by  means  of  a  cumulative-effect 
adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the 
fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this ASU in the first 
quarter  of  2018  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases 
(Topic 842). The amendments in the ASU create Topic 842, 
Leases, and supersede the lease requirements in Topic 840, 
Leases.  The  objective  of  this  ASU  is  to  establish  the 
principles  that  lessees  and  lessors  shall  apply  to  report 
useful information to users of financial statements about the 
amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from 
a lease. The main difference between previous GAAP and 
this  ASU  is  the  recognition  of  lease  assets  and  lease 

liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating 
leases  under  previous  GAAP.  The  amendment  requires  a 
lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a 
liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and the 
right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying 
asset for the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor 
is  largely  unchanged  from  that  applied  under  previous 
GAAP.  In  transition,  lessees  and  lessors  are  required  to 
recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest 
period presented using a modified retrospective approach. 
The modified retrospective approach includes a number of 
optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply 
that  will,  in  effect,  continue  to  account  for  leases  that 
commence  before  the  effective  date  in  accordance  with 
previous  GAAP  unless 
is  modified.  The 
the 
amendments  in  the  ASU,  for  public  business  entities,  are 
effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning  after  December  15, 
2018,  including  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years. 
The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2019 is not 
anticipated  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s 
consolidated financial statements.

In  June  2016,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2016-13,  Financial 
Instruments-Credit  Losses  (Topic  326):  Measurement  of 
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments 
in this ASU affect all entities that measure credit losses on 
financial instruments including loans, debt securities, trade 
receivables,  net  investments  in  leases,  off-balance  sheet 
credit  exposures,  reinsurance  receivables,  and  any  other 
financial  asset  that  has  a  contractual  right  to  receive  cash 
that is not specifically excluded. The main objective of this 
ASU  is  to  provide  financial  statement  users  with  more 
decision-useful information about the expected credit losses 
on financial instruments and other commitments to extend 
credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To 
achieve this objective, the amendments in this ASU replace 
the  incurred  loss  impairment  methodology  required  in 
current  GAAP  with  a  methodology  that  reflects  expected 
credit losses that requires consideration of a broader range 
of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit 
losses. The amendments in this ASU will affect entities to 
varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets 
held by the entity, the duration of the assets held, and how 
the  entity  applies  the  current  incurred  loss  methodology. 
The amendments in this ASU, for public business entities 
that are SEC filers, are effective for fiscal years beginning 
after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within 
those  annual  periods.  All  entities  may  adopt 
the 
amendments  in  the  ASU  early  as  of  the  fiscal  years 
beginning  after  December  15,  2018,  including  interim 
periods  within  those  fiscal  years.  Amendments  should  be 
applied using a modified retrospective transition method by 
means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the 
beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. 
Management is in the process of evaluating the impact that 
the  adoption of  this ASU  in the  first  quarter of 2020 will 
have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement 
of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash

affect all entities that are required to present a statement of 
cash flows under Topic 230 and address the following eight 
specific  cash  flow  issues:  debt  prepayment  or  debt 
extinguishment  costs;  settlement  of  zero-coupon  debt

entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, 
and  interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years  with  early 
adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendments should 
be applied using a retrospective transition method to each 
period  presented.  The  adoption  of  this  ASU  in  the  first 
quarter  of  2018  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on  the

issued  ASU  2017-04, 
In  January  2017, 
Intangibles-Goodwill  and  Other  (Topic  350):  Simplifying 
the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this 
ASU  were  issued  to  address  concerns  over  the  cost  and 
complexity  of  the  two-step  goodwill  impairment  test  and 
resulted in the removal of the second step of the test. The 
amendments  require  an  entity 
to  apply  a  one-step 
quantitative  test  and  record  the  amount  of  goodwill 
impairment  as  the  excess  of  a  reporting  unit’s  carrying 
amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of 
goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance 
does  not  amend  the  optional  qualitative  assessment  of 
goodwill impairment. This ASU is intended to reduce the 
cost  and  complexity  of  the  two-step goodwill  impairment 
test  and  is  effective  for  public  business  entities  for  fiscal 
years  beginning  after  December  15,  2019,  and  interim 
periods  within  those  fiscal  years  with  early  adoption 
permitted for testing performed after January 1, 2017. Upon 
the  amendments  should  be  applied  on  a

prospective basis and the entity is required to disclose the 
nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle 
upon  transition.  The  Company  early  adopted  this  ASU  in 
the fourth quarter of 2017 in order to reduce the complexity 
of the goodwill impairment calculation. The adoption of this 
ASU in the fourth quarter of 2017 did not have any impact 
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Receivables  –  Nonrefundable  Fees  and  Other  Costs 
(Subtopic  310-20):  Premium  Amortization  on  Purchased 
Callable  Debt  Securities.  The  amendments  in  this  ASU 
shorten  the  amortization  period  for  certain  callable  debt 
securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments 
require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. 
The amendments do not require an accounting change for 
securities  held  at  a  discount  as  discounts  continue  to  be 
amortized to maturity. This ASU is intended to more closely 
align the amortization period of premiums and discounts to 
expectations 
the 
underlying  securities.  In  most  cases,  market  participants 
price securities to the call date that produces the worst yield 
when the coupon is above current market rates and prices 
securities  to  maturity  when  the  coupon  is  below  market 
rates.  As  a  result,  the  amendments  more  closely  align 
interest income recorded on bonds held at a premium or a 
discount with the economics of the underlying instrument. 
This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and is 
effective  for  public  business  entities  for  fiscal  years,  and 
interim  periods  within  those  fiscal  years,  beginning  after

including  adoption  in  any  interim  period,  for  public 
business entities such as the Company for reporting periods 
for which financial statement have not yet been issued. The 
Company opted to early adopt this ASU as of December 31, 
2017.  The  impact  on  the  December  31,  2017  financial 
statements  was  a  $157,600  reclassification  between  other 
comprehensive  income  and  retained  earnings  for  the 
stranded tax effects as a result of the change in the federal 
corporate tax rate.  

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.  

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

NOTE 2 Acquisitions 
The  Company  records  purchased  assets  and  liabilities  at 
their fair market value at the time of purchase in accordance 
-  Business 
requirements  of  ASU  805 
with 

the 

Combinations. On April 8, 2016, the Bank completed the 
acquisition  of  loans  and  assumption  of  liabilities  of  the 
Deerwood  Bank  branch  in  Albert  Lea,  Minnesota.  The 
transaction  increased  the  Bank’s  assets  by  $19.0  million, 
including  increases  in  loans,  cash,  goodwill,  and  core 
deposit  intangible  of  $11.9  million,  $6.1  million,  $0.8 
million,  and  $0.2  million,  respectively.  The  Bank  also 
assumed deposit liabilities of $19.0 million. The acquired 
loans and deposits are being serviced from Home Federal’s 
existing  branch  location  at  143  West  Clark  Street,  Albert 
Lea, Minnesota.  

On August 14, 2015, the Bank completed the acquisition of 
certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Kasson 
State  Bank.  The  transaction  increased  the  Bank’s  total 
assets by $52.8 million including increases in loans of $24.1 
million, investments of $17.5 million, cash of $10.0 million, 
core deposit intangible of $0.4 million and other assets of 
$0.8  million.  The  Bank  also  assumed  liabilities  of  $49.3 
million,  including  $47.3  million  of  deposits  and  $2.0 
million  in  other  liabilities.  Consideration  paid  was  $3.2 
million  and  a  gain  on  the  transaction  of  $0.3  million  was 
recorded. The Bank continues to operate both of the former 
Kasson State Bank locations in Kasson, Minnesota acquired 
in  the  transaction  as  branches  of  Home  Federal  Savings 
Bank.  

Determining the estimated fair value of the acquired assets 
and assumed liabilities required the Bank to estimate cash 
flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and 
to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. 
The most significant of those determinations related to the 
fair  valuation  of  the  loans  acquired.  The  fair  value  of  the 
loans  purchased  was  based  on  the  present  value  of  the 
expected  cash  flows.  Periodic  principal  and  interest  cash 
flows were adjusted for expected losses and prepayments, 
then discounted to determine the present value and summed 
to  arrive  at  the  estimated  fair  value.  For  such  loans,  the 
excess  of  cash  flows  expected  at  acquisition  over  the 
estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over 
the  remaining  lives  of  the  loans.  The  difference  between 
contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash 
flows  expected  to  be  collected  at  acquisition  reflects  the 
impact of estimated credit losses and other factors, such as 
prepayments.  In  accordance  with  GAAP,  there  was  no 
carry-over  of  previously  established  allowances  for  loan 
losses  established  on  the  seller’s  records.  As  a  result, 
standard  industry  coverage  ratios  with  regard  to  the 
allowance  for  credit  losses  are  less  meaningful  after  the 
acquisitions. The purchased loans were divided into loans 
with  evidence  of  credit  quality  deterioration,  which  are 
accounted  for  under  ASC  topic  310-30  (purchased  credit 
impaired  (PCI))  and  loans  that  do  not  meet  this  criteria, 
which  are  accounted  for  under  ASC 
topic  310-20 
(performing). PCI loans have experienced a deterioration of 
credit quality from origination to acquisition for which it is 
probable  that  the  Bank  will  not  be  able  to  collect  all 

35 

  
   
  
  
  
  
  
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

contractually  required  principal  and  interest  payments  on 
the loan. Subsequent decreases in the expected cash flows 
require the Bank to evaluate the need for additions to the 
allowance  for  credit  losses.  Subsequent  improvements  in  

expected  cash  flows  generally  result  in  a  reduction  of 
previously  established  allowance  for  credit  losses  or  the 
recognition of additional interest income over the remaining 
lives of the loans.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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 U.S. 
Government agency obligations are the result of changes in 
interest  rates.  The  unrealized  losses  reported  for  the 
corporate preferred stock at December 31, 2017 relates to a 
single trust preferred security that was issued by the holding 
company of a small community bank. As of December 31, 
2017  all  payments  were  current  on  the  trust  preferred 
security and the issuer’s subsidiary bank was considered to 
be  “well  capitalized”  based  on  its  most  recent  regulatory 
filing. Based on a review of the issuer, it was determined 
that  the  trust  preferred  security  was  not  other-than-
temporarily impaired at December 31, 2017. 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 
interest  payments

Classified  loans  represent  special  mention,  performing 
substandard,  and  non-performing  loans  categorized  as 
substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans classified as special 
mention are loans that have potential weaknesses that, if left 
uncorrected,  may  result  in  deterioration  of  the  repayment 
prospects  for  the  asset  or  in  the  Bank’s  credit  position  at 
some future date. Loans classified as substandard are loans 
that are generally inadequately protected by the current net 
worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral 
pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-
defined  weakness  or  weaknesses  that  jeopardize  the 
liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized  

by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some 
loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as 
doubtful  have  the  weaknesses  of  those  classified  as 
substandard,  with  additional  characteristics  that  make 
collection  in  full  on  the  basis  of  currently  existing  facts, 
conditions  and  values  questionable,  and  there  is  a  high 
possibility  of  loss.  A  loan  classified  as  loss  is  considered 
uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an 
asset on the balance sheet is not warranted. Loans classified 
as substandard or doubtful require the Bank to perform an 
analysis of the individual loan and charge off any loans, or 
portion thereof, that are deemed uncollectible.

At December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, non-accruing loans 
totaled  $3.2  million,  $3.3  million  and  $4.2  million, 
respectively, for which the related allowance for loan losses 
was  $0.9  million,  $0.8  million  and  $0.7  million, 
respectively.  Non-accruing  loans  for  which  no  specific 
allowance  has  been 
recorded  because  management 
determined that the value of the collateral was sufficient to 
repay the loan totaled $0.4 million, $0.7 million and $1.4 
million at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 
Had the non-accruing loans performed in accordance with 
their  original  terms,  the  Company  would  have  recorded  

gross  interest  income  on  the  loans  of  $0.3  million,  $0.6 
million  and  $0.4  million  in  2017,  2016  and  2015, 
respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 
and 2015, the Company recognized interest income on these 
loans  of  $0.1  million,  $0.4  million  and  $0.2  million, 
respectively. All of the interest income that was recognized 
for non-accruing loans was recognized using the cash basis 
method  of  income  recognition.  Non-accrual  loans  also

Included in loans receivable, net, are certain loans that have 
been  modified  in  order  to  maximize  collection  of  loan 
balances.  If  the  Company,  for  legal  or  economic  reasons 
related  to  the  borrower’s  financial  difficulties,  grants  a 
concession compared to the original terms and conditions 
of the loan, the modified loan is considered a TDR. 

At  December  31,  2017,  2016  and  2015,  there  were  loans 
included in loans receivable, net, with terms that had been 
modified in a TDR totaling $3.0 million, $3.3 million and 
$2.5 million, respectively. Had these loans been performing 
in  accordance  with  their  original  terms  throughout  2017, 
2016  and  2015,  the  Company  would  have  recorded  gross 
interest  income  of  $0.4  million,  $0.6  million  and  $0.4 
million,  respectively.  During  2017,  2016  and  2015,  the 
Company recognized interest income of $0.2 million, $0.4 
million and $0.2 million, respectively, on these loans. For 
the  loans  that  were  modified  in  2017,  $0.7  million  are 
classified  and  performing  and  $0.4  million  were  non-
performing at December 31, 2017. 

As of December 31,  2017,  the  Bank  had  commitments  to 
lend an additional $0.8 million to a borrower who has TDR 
and  non-accrual  loans.  These  additional  funds  are  for  the 
construction of single family homes with a maximum loan-
to-value ratio of 75%. These loans are secured by the home 
under  construction.  There  were  commitments  to  lend 
additional  funds  of  $0.4  million  to  this  same  borrower  at 
December 31, 2016. 

TDR  concessions  can  include  reduction  of  interest  rates, 
extension of maturity dates, forgiveness of principal and/or 
interest due, or acceptance of real estate or other assets in 
full or partial satisfaction of the debt. Loan  modifications 
are not reported as TDRs after 12 months if the loan was 
modified  at  a  market  rate  of  interest  for  comparable  risk 
loans,  and  the  loan  is  performing  in  accordance  with  the 
terms of the restructured agreement. All loans classified as 
TDRs are considered to be impaired. 

When a loan is modified as a TDR, there may be a direct, 
material  impact  on  the  loans  within  the  Consolidated 
Balance  Sheets,  as  principal  balances  may  be  partially 
forgiven. The financial effects of TDRs are presented in the 
following  table  and  represent  the  difference  between  the 
outstanding  recorded  balance  pre-modification  and  post-
modification,  for  the  periods  ending  December  31,  2017 
and 2016:

between contractually required payments at acquisition and 
the cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the 
non-accretable difference. This amount is not recognized as 
a  yield  adjustment  or  as  a  loss  accrual  or  a  valuation 
allowance. Furthermore, any excess of cash flows expected 
at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as 
the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income 
over  the  remaining  life  of  the  loans  when  there  is  a 
reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such 
cash flows. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to 
the initial investment are recognized prospectively through 
an  adjustment  of  the  yield  on  the  loan  over  its  remaining 
estimated  life.  Decreases  in  expected  cash  flows  are 
recognized  immediately  as  an  impairment  through  the 
provision for loan losses.

The  Company  considers  a  loan  to  have  defaulted  when  it 
becomes  90  or  more  days  past  due  under  the  modified 
terms,  when  it  is  placed  in  non-accrual  status,  when  it 
becomes other real estate owned, or when it becomes non-
compliant  with  some  other  material  requirement  of  the 
modification agreement. 

Loans  that  were  non-accrual  prior  to  modification  remain 
non-accrual for at least six months following modification. 
Non-accrual TDR loans that have performed according to 
the  modified  terms  for  six  months  may  be  returned  to 
accruing  status.  Loans 
to 
modification remain on accrual status after the modification 
as  long  as  the  loan  continues  to  perform  under  the  new 
terms. 

that  were  accruing  prior 

TDRs  are  reviewed  for  impairment  following  the  same 
methodology  as  other  impaired  loans.  For  loans  that  are 
collateral dependent, the value of the collateral is reviewed 
and additional reserves may be added as needed. Loans that 
are  not  collateral  dependent  may  have  additional  reserves 
established if deemed necessary. The allocated reserves for 
TDRs was $0.9 million, or 9.8%, of the total $9.3 million in 
allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2017, and $0.6 
million, or 6.2%, of the total $9.9 million in allowance for 
loan losses at December 31, 2016. 

Loans  acquired  in  a  business  combination  are  segregated 
into two types: purchased performing loans with a discount 
attributable at least in part to credit quality and PCI loans 
with evidence of significant credit deterioration. Purchased 
performing loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 
310-20  “Nonrefundable  Fees  and  Other  Costs”  as  these 
loans  do  not  have  evidence  of  credit  deterioration  since 
origination. PCI loans are accounted for in accordance with 
ASC  310-30  “Receivables  –  Loans  and  Debt  Securities 
Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” as they display 
significant  credit  deterioration  since  origination.  In 
accordance with ASC 310-30, for PCI loans, the difference

As a result of acquisitions, the Company has PCI loans for 
which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of 
credit  quality  since  origination  and  for  which  it  was 
probable  at  acquisition  that  all  contractually  required 
payments would not be collected. The carrying amount of 
those loans as of December 31, 2017 was $0.4 million. 

No material provision for loan losses was recognized during 
the  period  ended  December  31,  2017  related  to  acquired 
loans as there was no significant change to the credit quality 
of the loans.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

No amortization expense relating to goodwill is recorded as 
generally  accepted  accounting  principles  do  not  allow 
goodwill  to  be  amortized,  but  require  that  it  be  tested  for 
impairment  at  least  annually,  or  sooner,  if  there  are 
indications that impairment may exist. 

Projections of amortization are based on asset balances and 
the interest rate environment that existed at December 31, 
2017.  The  Company’s  actual  experience  may  be 
significantly different depending upon changes in mortgage 
interest rates and other market conditions.

federal  net  operating 

On December 22, 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act became 
law. Among other things, this law reduced the corporate tax 
rate for the Company from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 
2018. In accordance with current accounting guidelines, this 
change in the tax rate was reflected as an adjustment to the 
Company’s deferred tax items at December 31, 2017. The 
net result of this adjustment was to reduce the Company’s 
net deferred tax asset by $1.1 million with a corresponding 
increase to income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017. 

included 
Retained  earnings  at  December  31,  2017 
approximately  $8.8  million  for  which  no  provision  for 
income taxes was made. This amount represents allocations 
of  income  to  bad  debt  deductions  for  tax  purposes. 
Reduction of amounts so allocated for purposes other than 
absorbing losses will create income for tax purposes, which 
will be subject to the then-current corporate income tax rate.  

The Company 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 

cumulative net income generated over the prior three year 
period  and  the  probability  that  taxable  income  will  be 
generated in future periods. Based upon this evaluation, the 
Company  determined  that  no  valuation  allowance  was 
required  with  respect  to  the  net  deferred  tax  assets  at 
December 31, 2017 and 2016. 

NOTE 14 Employee Benefits  
All eligible full-time employees of the Bank that were hired 
prior to 2002 were included in a noncontributory retirement 
plan  sponsored  by  the  Financial  Institutions  Retirement 
Fund (FIRF). The Home Federal Savings Bank (Employer 
#8006)  plan  participates  in  the  Pentegra  Defined  Benefit 
Plan for Financial Institutions (the Pentegra DB Plan). The 
Pentegra DB Plan’s Employer Identification Number is 13-
5645888 and the Plan number is 333. The Pentegra DB Plan 
operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes 
under  the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of 
1974, as amended (ERISA), and the Internal Revenue Code. 
There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that 
require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. 

The  Pentegra  DB  Plan  is  a  single  plan  under  Internal 
Revenue  Code  Section  413(c)  and,  as  a  result,  all  of  the 
assets stand behind all of the liabilities. Accordingly, under 
the Pentegra DB Plan, contributions made by a participating 
employer may be used to provide benefits to participants of 
other participating employers. 

Effective  September  1,  2002,  the  accrual  of  benefits  for 
existing  participants  was  frozen  and  no  new  enrollments 
have  been  permitted  into  the  plan.  The  actuarial  present 
value of accumulated plan benefits and net assets available 
for  benefits  relating  to  the  Bank's  employees  was  not 
available at December 31, 2017 because such information 
is not accumulated for each participating institution. As of 
June  30,  2017,  the  Pentegra  DB  Plan  valuation  report 
reflected that the Bank was obligated to make a contribution 
totaling $0.1 million which was paid and expensed in 2017.  

Funded  status  (market  value  of  plan  assets  divided  by 
funding target) as of July 1 for the 2017, 2016, and 2015 
plan years were 95.45%, 97.09% and 96.01%, respectively. 
Market value of plan assets reflects contributions received 
through June 30, 2017.  

Total  employer  contributions  made  to  the  Pentegra  DB 
Plan,  as  reported  on  Form  5500,  equal  $153.2  million,

(1) The contribution relates to the 2016 plan year and was accrued at December 31, 2016. 

The Company has a qualified, tax-exempt savings plan with 
a  deferred  feature  qualifying  under  Section  401(k)  of  the 
Internal  Revenue  Code  (the  401(k)  Plan).  All  employees 
who have attained 18 years of age are eligible to participate 
in  the  401(k)  Plan.  Participants  are  permitted  to  make 
contributions to the 401(k) Plan equal to the lesser of 50% 
of  their  annual  salary  or  the  maximum  allowed  by  law, 
which was $18,000 for 2017, 2016 and 2015. The Company 
matches  25%  of  each  participant’s  contributions  up  to  a 
maximum  of  8%  of  their  annual  salary.  Participant 
contributions  and  earnings  are  fully  and  immediately 
vested. The Company’s contributions are vested on a three 
year  cliff  basis,  are  expensed  annually,  and  were  $0.2 
million in 2017, 2016 and 2015. 

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 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 in 1994. As a result of a 
merger  with  Marshalltown  Financial  Corporation  (MFC), 
the  ESOP  borrowed  $1.5  million  in  1998  to  purchase  an 
additional 76,933 shares of HMN common stock to account 
for  the  additional  employees  and  to  avoid  dilution  of  the 
benefit  provided  by  the  ESOP.  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 $0.5 million in 2017, 2016 and 
2015. 

As  the  debt  is  repaid,  ESOP  shares  that  were  pledged  as 
collateral for the debt are released from collateral based on 
the  proportion  of  debt  service  paid  in  the  year  and  then 
allocated to eligible employees. The Company accounts for 
its  ESOP  in  accordance  with  ASU  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 common share computations. 

52 

ESOP compensation expense was $0.4 million for 2017 and 
$0.3 million for both 2016 and 2015.  

All employees of the Bank are eligible to participate in the 
ESOP  after  they  attain  age  18  and  complete  one  year  of 
service during which they worked at least 1,000 hours. A 
summary of the ESOP share allocation is as follows for the 
years ended December 31:

In  March  2001,  the  HMN  Financial,  Inc.  2001  Omnibus 
Stock  Plan  (2001  Plan)  was  adopted  by  the  Company.  In 
April  2009,  this  plan  was  superseded  by  the  HMN 
Financial, Inc. 2009 Equity and Incentive Plan (2009 Plan) 
and  options  or  restricted  shares  were  no  longer  awarded 
from  the  2001  Plan.  As  of  December  31,  2017,  all 
outstanding options under the 2001 Plan have expired.  

In April of 2017, the 2009 Plan was superseded by the HMN 
Financial, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (2017 Plan) and 
options  or  restricted  shares  were  no  longer  awarded  from 
the 2009 Plan. As of December 31, 2017 there were 26,409 
vested and 22,820 unvested options outstanding under the 
2009 Plan. These options expire 10 years from the date of 
grant  and  have  an  average  exercise  price  of  $9.25.  There 
were  also  14,881  shares  of  restricted  stock  previously 
granted to current employees that as of December 31, 2017 
remain unvested. The 43,712 ungranted shares remaining in 
the  2009  Plan  were  transferred  to  the  2017  Plan  upon  its 
adoption and are available for grant under that plan.

The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to attract and retain the best 
available personnel for positions of responsibility with the 
Company,  to  provide  additional  incentives  to  them  and 
align

In  accordance  with  ASC  718,  the  Company  recognizes 
compensation  expense  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

did  purchase  2,968  shares  of  common  stock  from 
employees  to  pay  the  income  taxes  on  net  exchanges  of 
vested restricted stock in 2017.  

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 Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred 
Stock,  Series  A  (Preferred  Stock)  to  the  United  Stated 
Department  of  Treasury  (Treasury).  The  Preferred  Stock 
had  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 
Warrant). The transaction was part of the Treasury’s Capital 
the  Emergency  Economic 
Purchase  Program  under 
Stabilization Act of 2008.  

On  February  17,  2015,  the  Company  redeemed  the  final 
10,000 shares of the outstanding Preferred Stock. On May 
21, 2015, the Treasury sold the Warrant at an exercise price 
of  $4.68  to  three  unaffiliated  third  party  investors  for  an 
aggregate  purchase  price  of  $5.7  million.  Two  of  the 
investors received a warrant to purchase 277,777.67 shares 
and one investor received a warrant to purchase 277,777.66 
shares.  All  of  the  warrants  were  still  outstanding  as  of 
December 31, 2017 and may be exercised at any time prior 
to  their  expiration  date  of  December  23,  2018.  The 
Company received no proceeds from this transaction and it 
had no effect on the Company’s capital, financial condition 
or results of operations.  

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

NOTE 17 Regulatory Capital  
The  Company  and  the  Bank  are  subject  to  the  regulatory 
requirements of the Basel III capital reforms. The Basel III 
requirements, among other things, (i) apply a strengthened 
set  of  capital  requirements  to  the  Bank  (the  Company  is 
exempt,  pursuant  to  the  Small  Bank  Holding  Company 
Policy  Statement  (Policy  Statement)  described  below), 
including  requirements  relating  to  common  equity  as  a 
component  of  core  capital,  (ii)  implement  a  “capital 
conservation  buffer”  against  risk  and  a  higher  minimum 
Tier  1  capital  requirement,  and  (iii)  revise  the  rules  for 
calculating  risk-weighted  assets  for  purposes  of  such 
requirements.  The  rules  made  corresponding  revisions  to 
the prompt corrective action framework and include capital 
ratios  and  buffer  requirements  which  are  being  phased  in 
incrementally,  with  full  implementation  scheduled  for 
January  1,  2019.  Failure  to  meet  minimum  capital 
requirements  can  initiate  certain  mandatory  and  possibly 
additional  discretionary  actions  by  regulators  that,  if 
undertaken,  could  have  a  direct  material  effect  on  the 
Company's  financial  statements.  Under  capital  adequacy 
guidelines  and  the  regulatory  framework  for  prompt 
corrective  action,  the  Bank  must  meet  specific  capital 
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, 
liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated 
under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts 
and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments 
by  the  regulators  about  components,  risk  weightings  and 
other factors.  

from 

The  FRB  amended  its  Policy  Statement,  to  exempt  small 
the  above  capital 
bank  holding  companies 
requirements,  by  raising  the  asset  size  threshold  for 
determining applicability from $500 million to $1 billion. 
The Policy Statement was also expanded to include savings 
the  Policy 
and 
Statement’s  qualitative  requirements  for  exemption.  The 
Company met the qualitative exemption requirements, and 
therefore, is exempt from the above capital requirements.  

loan  holding  companies 

that  meet 

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure 
capital  adequacy  require  the  Bank  to  maintain  minimum 
amounts  and  ratios  (set  forth  in  the  following  table  and 
defined in the regulation) of Common Equity Tier 1 capital 
to  risk  weighted  assets,  Tier  1  capital  to  adjusted  total 
assets,  Tier  1  capital  to  risk  weighted  assets,  and  total 
capital to risk weighted assets.

(1) Based upon the Bank’s adjusted total assets for the purpose of the Tier 1 leverage capital ratio and risk-weighted assets for the purpose of the risk-based 
capital ratios. 

The  Bank  must  maintain  a  capital  conservation  buffer 
composed  of  common  equity  Tier  1  capital  above  its 
minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid 
limitations  on  capital  distributions,  including  dividend 
payments  and  certain  discretionary  bonus  payments  to 
executive officers. For 2017, the capital conservation buffer 
was 1.25%. The buffer amount will increase incrementally 
each  year  until  2019  when  the  entire  2.50%  capital 
conservation buffer will be fully phased in.  

Management  believes  that,  as  of  December  31,  2017,  the 
Bank’s  capital  ratios  were  in  excess  of  those  quantitative 
capital  ratio  standards  applicable  on  that  date,  set  forth 
under  the  prompt  corrective  action  regulations,  including 
the capital conservation buffer described above. However, 
there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Bank  will  continue  to 
maintain  such  status  in  the  future.  The  Office  of  the 
Comptroller of the Currency has extensive discretion in its 
supervisory  and  enforcement  activities,  and  can  further 
adjust the requirement to be well-capitalized in the future.

 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTE 18 Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet 
Risk  
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-
balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet 
the  financing  needs  of  its  customers.  These  financial 
instruments  include  commitments  to  extend  credit.  These 
commitments  involve,  to  varying  degrees,  elements  of 
credit  and  interest  rate  risk  in  excess  of  the  amounts 
recognized  in  the  balance  sheet.  The  contract  amounts  of 
these instruments reflect the extent of involvement by the 
Company. 

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

the  same  credit  policies 

primarily with commercial real estate mortgages. Draws on 
standby letters of credit would be initiated by the secured 
party under the terms of the underlying obligation. 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 has certain obligations and commitments to 
make  future  payments  under  existing  contracts.  At 
December 31, 2017,  the  aggregate  contractual obligations 
(excluding  bank  deposits)  and  commercial  commitments

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a 
customer, at the customer’s request, as long as there is no 
violation  of  any  condition  established  in  the  contract. 
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other 
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since 
a portion of the commitments are expected to expire without 
being  drawn  upon,  the  total  commitment  amounts  do  not 
necessarily  represent  future  cash  requirements.  The  Bank 
evaluates  each  customer's  creditworthiness  on  a  case-by-
case  basis.  The  amount  of  collateral  obtained,  if  deemed 
necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on 
the loan type and on management's credit evaluation of the 
borrower.  Collateral  consists  primarily  of  residential  and 
commercial real estate and personal property. 

Forward commitments represent commitments to sell loans 
to  a  third  party  following  the  closing  of  the  loan  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 34 months 
and  totaled  $1.9  million  at  December  31,  2017  and 
December 31, 2016. The letters of credit are collateralized

NOTE 19 Derivative Instruments and Hedging 
Activities 
The Company originates single-family residential loans for 
sale into the secondary market and enters into commitments 
to sell those loans in order to mitigate the interest rate risk 
associated with holding  the  loans  until  they  are  sold.  The 
Company accounts for its commitments in accordance with 
ASC  815,  Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and 
Hedging Activities.  

The  Company  had  commitments  outstanding  to  extend 
credit to future borrowers that had not closed prior to the 
end of the year, which is referred to as its mortgage pipeline. 
As  commitments  to  originate  loans  enter  the  mortgage 
pipeline, the Company generally enters into commitments 
to  sell 
the  secondary  market.  The 
commitments to originate and sell loans are derivatives that 
are recorded at fair value. The marking of these derivatives 
to fair value for the periods ended December 31, 2017 and 
December 31, 2016 did not have a material impact on the 
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

the  current 
As  of  December  31,  2017  and  2016, 
commitments to sell loans held for sale are derivatives that 
do not qualify for hedge accounting. The loans held for sale 
that  are  not  hedged  are  recorded  at  the  lower  of  cost  or 
market. The marking of these loans for the periods ended 
December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 did not have a 
material  impact  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  financial 
statements.  

NOTE 20 Fair Value Measurement 
ASC  820,  Fair  Value  Measurements,  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. 
Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, 
discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.  

The following table summarizes the assets of the Company for which fair values are determined on a recurring basis as of 
December 31, 2017 and 2016.

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

assets  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  nonrecurring  basis  in 
2017  and  2016  that  were  still  held  at  December  31,  the 
following table provides the level of valuation assumptions 
used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of 
the related individual assets or portfolios at December 31,

(1)   Represents carrying value and related specific reserves on loans for which adjustments are based on the appraised value of the collateral. The carrying 

value of loans fully charged-off is zero. 

(2)   Represents the fair value and related losses on foreclosed real estate and other collateral owned that were measured at fair value subsequent to their initial 

classification as foreclosed assets. 

NOTE 21 Fair Value of Financial Instruments 
ASC  825,  Disclosures  about  Fair  Values  of  Financial 
Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair values 
of  the  Company's  financial  instruments,  including  assets, 
liabilities  and  off-balance  sheet  items  for  which  it  is 
practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value estimates 
are  made  as  of  December  31,  2017  and  2016  based  upon 
relevant  market  information,  if  available,  and  upon  the 
characteristics  of  the  financial  instruments  themselves. 
Because  no  market  exists  for  a  significant  portion  of  the 
Company's  financial  instruments,  fair  value  estimates  are 
based  upon  judgments  regarding  future  expected  loss 
experience, 
risk 
characteristics  of  various  financial  instruments  and  other  

conditions, 

economic 

current 

factors. The estimates are subjective in nature and involve 
uncertainties  and  matters  of  significant  judgment  and 
therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in 
assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. 

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

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

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

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

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

FHLB Stock 
The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its fair 
value. 

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

Deposits 
The  fair  value  of  demand  deposits,  savings  accounts  and 
certain  money  market  account  deposits  is  the  amount 
payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of 
fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the 
rates  currently  offered  for  deposits  of  similar  remaining 
maturities.  

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. 

FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings 
The  fair  values  of  advances  and  borrowings  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 
approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature. 

interest  payable 

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. 

Commitments to Sell Loans 
The 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. 
HMN, the holding company, did not meet the quantitative 
thresholds  for  a  reportable  segment  and  therefore  is 
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 and assets for each of the 
Company’s reportable segments.
