LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS AND CLIENTS 

I  am  pleased  to  present  you with  our  2018  Annual  Report.  As  I reflect on  the  past  year,  a 
number of events, milestones and outcomes stand out above others for me. 

Like most for-profit businesses, our company benefited from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that 
was signed into law in December 2017. The lower federal tax rate substantially reduced our 
federal income tax expense for 2018. The long term impact of the tax bill remains to be seen 
since  some  provisions  it  contains  are  not  permanent.  Furthermore,  residents  of  states  like 
Minnesota  that  have  comparatively  high  state  and  local  taxes  rates  might  find  themselves 
paying more in taxes than in previous years since the tax bill includes a cap on state and local 
taxes which can be claimed as an itemized deduction. These changes could have an impact on 
future consumer spending and borrowing. 

During 2018, the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest 
rate four times. This action resulted in a 100 basis point increase in the Prime Rate to 5.50% - 
its highest level since March 2008. Since our bank is asset sensitive, we were positioned to 
benefit from the increase in interest rates and our net interest income for the year increased $2.2 million to $28.1 million. The 
rising short term rates resulted in many commercial borrowers requesting long term fixed rates on their loans. Fortunately, 
our lenders were able to retain our best clients while limiting the interest rate risk associated with increasing the loan portfolio 
duration. 

Asset quality continued to improve during the year with non-performing assets declining by over 18%. Competition for loan 
growth remained fierce in a number of our markets both in terms of loan pricing and structure. In response, management 
elected to use these market conditions to identify and move over $16 million in higher risk loans out of the bank. While this 
action adversely impacted outstanding loan balances at year end, it was a significant factor in the reverse provision for loan 
losses  of  $0.6  million  that  was  experienced  during  the  year.  I  am  very  proud  of  the  job  that  our  lenders  and  credit 
administration staff did to accomplish the above results. 

Our tier I leverage ratio at year end was a strong 11.0%. When combined with our previously mentioned strong asset quality, 
we are in an excellent position to weather potential economic downturns or capitalize on acquisition opportunities. 

Our efficiency ratio, a measure of how many cents in noninterest expense it costs to generate one dollar of income, improved 
to 70.79% from 75.30% the previous year. This ratio continues to be a focus of management who looks to increase non-
interest income and reduce non-interest expense wherever possible. 

We believe that quality organic growth should always be a top priority for management. We also believe that organic growth 
derived by expanding existing relationships can be the most cost effective growth. Therefore we worked diligently this past 
year to improve communication across product lines, and our employees have been encouraged and rewarded to identify and 
satisfy client needs. 

We recognize that organic growth will not, in itself, be sufficient to achieve our growth goals and that a proactive acquisition 
strategy is needed. During 2018 we identified a number of opportunities to grow the bank through branch and whole bank 
acquisitions.  We  performed  an  initial  analysis  of  each  opportunity  and  prepared  bids  for  several  banks  and/or  branch 
purchases during the year. Unfortunately, we were not successful in our bidding on any of these opportunities because we 
were unable to meet the sellers’ pricing expectations. We continue to search for new opportunities to grow the bank through 
acquisitions and will remain disciplined in our approach to determining the purchase price of the acquisition and the potential 
impact it would have on HMN shareholders.

While bank delivery channels continue to move toward more mobile and online transactions, we understand that we must 
continue to provide traditional facilities to serve our clients as well. In April 2018, we opened our new full service branch in 
Owatonna, Minnesota, which replaced the loan production office we had been operating in that market since 2015. The design 
of this branch utilizes the latest technology and floor plan which enabled us to reduce staff count by approximately 25% 
compared to older branches. During the year we also announced plans to remodel and expand our existing drive up facility 
and consolidate our two offices in Kasson, Minnesota into that facility. The goal of this project is to reduce overhead expense 
while improving convenience for our clients. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we purchased an existing branch facility in the 
greater  Milwaukee,  Wisconsin  area  to  support  our  growing  loan  portfolio  in  that  market.  We  plan  to  move  our  existing 
Delafield, Wisconsin loan production office into the new facility and open a full service branch later in 2019. 

We also recognize the importance of dedicating sufficient resources to support online and mobile banking platforms. In 2018, 
we rolled out our new online mortgage loan application for new and existing clients. The response was very positive as it 
allows our busy clients access to a convenient channel to provide us with the information we need to underwrite and approve 
their loan request. We are continuing to develop additional online channels for new and existing clients to apply for the many 
other products we offer. 

Finally, during this past year all of the outstanding HMN common stock warrants issued in 2008 in connection with the U.S. 
Treasury Capital Purchase Program were either exercised by the warrant holder or purchased by the Company. I am proud to 
say that HMN Financial repaid 100% of the funds invested in us by the U.S. Treasury. 

I want to take this opportunity to thank our investors, employees and our Board of Directors for their help and support in 
making 2018 a successful year for HMN Financial. 

Best Regards, 

Bradley 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

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

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 
institutions, such as 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

determination of the allowance on the homogeneous single

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.

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

The  estimates  are 
adjustments 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 loss experience. The Company increases 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  and 
recording loan charge offs. 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.

tax  consequences  attributable 

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  positive  evidence  considered 
includes the 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 
requires significant estimates and judgments in arriving at 
the amount of tax benefits to be recognized in the financial 
statements. It is possible that the tax benefits realized upon 
the  ultimate  resolution  of  a  tax  position  may  result  in  tax 
benefits

Results of Operations 

Comparison of 2018 with 2017 
Net income was $8.2 million for 2018, an increase of $3.8 
million, or 87.0%, compared to net income of $4.4 million 
for  2017.  Diluted  earnings  per  share  for  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2018  was  $1.71,  an  increase  of  $0.81  per 
share compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.90 for 
the  year  ended  December  31,  2017.  The  increase  in  net 
income for 2018 is due primarily to a $2.2 million increase 
in net interest income and a $1.5 million decrease in income 
tax  expense  between  the  periods.  Net  interest  income 
increased  primarily  because  of  the  higher  interest  income 
earned on loans and cash balances as a result of the 100 basis 
point increase in the federal funds rate between the periods. 
The decrease in income tax expense is primarily because of 
the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 
22,  2017  which  required  the  Company  to  record  $1.1 
million  in  additional  income  tax  expense  in  the  fourth 
quarter of 2017 and reduced the Company’s federal income 
tax rate in 2018. 

Net Interest Income 
Net interest income was $28.1 million for 2018, an increase 
of $2.2 million, or 8.8%, from $25.9 million for the same 
period of 2017. Interest income was $30.4 million for 2018, 
an increase of $2.7 million, or 9.8%, from $27.7 million for 
the  same  period  of  2017.  Interest  income  increased 
primarily because of the higher interest amounts earned on 
loans  and  cash  balances  as  a result of  the 100  basis  point 
increase in the federal funds rate between the periods and a 
$27.9 million increase in the average interest-earning assets 
held  between  the  periods.  Interest  income  also  increased 
$0.5  million  because  of  a  change  in  the  amount  of  yield 
enhancements  recognized  on  purchased  and  non-accruing 
loans  between  the  periods.  The  average  yield  earned  on 
interest-earning assets was 4.35% for 2018, an increase of 
22  basis  points  from  4.13%  for  2017.  The  average  yield 
earned on interest-earning assets increased 8 basis points as 
a  result  of  the  change  in  yield  enhancements  recognized 
between the periods. 

Interest expense was $2.2 million for 2018, an increase of 
$0.4  million,  or  24.3%,  from  $1.8  million  for  2017.  The 
average  interest  rate  paid  on  non-interest  and  interest-
bearing liabilities was 0.35% for 2018, an increase of 6 basis 
points from 0.29% paid in 2017. The increase in the interest 
paid  on  non-interest  and  interest-bearing  liabilities  was 
primarily  because  of  the  100  basis  point  increase  in  the 
federal  funds  rate  which  increased  the  cost  of  deposits 
between  the  periods  and  a  $22.5  million  increase  in  the 
average  non-interest  and  interest-bearing  liabilities  held 
between the periods.

(1) Tax exempt income was not material; therefore, the yield was not presented on a tax equivalent basis for any of the years presented. 
(2) Calculated net of deferred loan costs, loan discounts, loans in process and loss reserves. 

Net interest margin for 2018 was 4.03%, an increase of 17 
basis points, compared to 3.86% for 2017. The increase in 
the net interest margin is primarily related to the increase in 
interest income which is primarily due to the increase in the 
average yields earned on the average interest-earning assets 
held  between  the  periods.  Average  net  earning  assets  

increased  from  $57.0  million  in  2017  to  $62.4  million  in 
2018. The $5.4 million increase in the net earning assets in 
2018 is due primarily to the net income earned in 2018 that 
was  partially  offset  by  the  purchase  of  fixed  assets  and 
warrants.

to  changes 

in 

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

Provision for Loan Losses 
The provision for loan losses was ($0.6) million for the year 
ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $0.1 million, from 
($0.5) million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The 
provision  for  loan  losses  decreased  between  the  periods  

primarily because of the improved credit quality of the loan 
portfolio  and 
the  payoff  of  certain  non-performing 
commercial  loans  which  resulted  in  a  decrease  in  the 
reserves required between the periods.

Other non-interest income increased $0.1 million primarily 
because of an increase in the revenue earned on the sale of 
uninsured  investment  products  between  the  periods.  Loan 
servicing  fees  increased  $0.1  million  between  the  periods 
due to an increase in the single family loans being serviced. 
These  increases  in  non-interest  income  were  offset  by  a 

decrease in the gain on sales of loans due to a decrease in 
single  family  loan  originations  and  sales  between  the 
periods.  Fees  and  service  charges  decreased  slightly 
between  the  periods  primarily  because  of  a  decrease  in 
overdraft fees. 

Non-Interest Expense 
Non-interest expense was $25.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.5%, from

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

Occupancy and equipment expense increased $0.2 million 
because  of  increases  in  depreciation  and  real  estate  tax 
expenses.  Data  processing  costs  increased  $0.2  million 
primarily  because  of  an  increase  in  mobile  and  on-line 
banking  costs  between  the  periods.  Other  non-interest 
expense increased $0.2 million between the periods due to 
an increase in the fraud losses incurred on deposit accounts 
and an increase in deposit insurance rates. These increases 
in  non-interest  expense  were  partially  offset  by  a  $0.3 
million  decrease  in  compensation  and  benefits  expense 
primarily because of a decrease in employees between the 
periods.  Professional  services  expense  decreased  $0.2 
million between the periods primarily because of a decrease 
in legal expenses. 

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 
$2.9  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  a 
decrease  of  $1.5  million,  from  $4.4  million  for  the  year 
ended  December  31,  2017.  The  decrease  in  income  tax 
expense is due primarily to the enactment of the Tax Cuts 
and  Jobs  Act  on  December  22,  2017  which  required  the 
Company  to  record  $1.1  million  in  additional  income  tax 
expense  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2017  and  reduced  the 
Company’s federal income tax rate in 2018. 

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 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 
charged off commercial real estate loans. This resulted in a 
29  basis  point  decrease  in  the  average  yield  between  the 
periods. 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. 

the  periods.  Interest 

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  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. While 
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.

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 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. 

Non-interest  income  was  $7.7  million  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2017, a decrease of $0.5 million, from $8.2 
million for the year ended December 31, 2016. 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 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. 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  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.

The  limited  growth  in  the  loan  portfolio  in  2018  was 
primarily because the loan originations during the year were 
almost  entirely  offset  by  loan  prepayments.  Based  on 
current  economic  conditions  and  the  projected  loan 
origination  and prepayment  amounts,  it  is anticipated  that 
our overall loan portfolio growth will be limited in 2019. 

Single  family  real  estate  loans  were  $110.7  million  at 
December 31, 2018, an increase of $3.7 million, compared 
to $107.0 million at December 31, 2017. The single family 
loan  portfolio  increased  in  2018  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  $50.2  million  at 
December 31, 2018, an increase of $21.6 million, compared 
to  $28.6  million  at  December  31,  2017.  The  increase  in 
multi-family  real  estate  loans  in  2018  is  primarily  due  to 
loans

Commercial  real  estate  loans  were  $257.0  million  at 
December 31, 2018, a decrease of $2.0 million, compared

to  $259.0  million  at  December  31,  2017.  Commercial 
business loans were $75.5 million at December 31, 2018, a 
decrease  of  $4.4  million,  compared  to  $79.9  million  at 
December 31, 2017. The decrease in commercial real estate 
and  commercial  business  loans  in  2018  is  because  loan 
payoffs  exceeded  loan  originations  during  the  year  with 
some  of  the  payoffs  related  to  the  Bank’s  initiative  to 
improve the credit quality of the loan portfolio. 

Construction  or  development  loans  were  $28.9  million  at 
December 31, 2018, a decrease of $17.5 million, compared 
to  $46.4  million  at  December  31,  2017.  The  decrease  in 
construction loans is primarily related to the $29.7 million 
of  construction  loans  on  projects  that  were  completed 
during  the  year  that  were  moved  to  a  permanent  loan 
classification.  An  additional  $14.0  million  in  construction 
loans  were  paid  off  during  the  year.  These  decreases  in 
construction loans were partially offset by $20.7 million in 
newly  originated  construction  loans  and  $5.5  million  in 
advances on previously originated construction loans. 

Home equity lines of credit were $32.3 million at December 
31,  2018,  a  decrease  of  $4.6  million,  compared  to  $36.9 
million at December 31, 2017. The open-end home equity 
lines are generally written with an adjustable rate and a ten 
year  draw  period  which  requires  interest  only  payments 
followed  by  a  ten  year  repayment  period  which  fully 
amortizes the outstanding balance.

$16.7  million  at  December  31,  2018,  an  increase  of  $0.9 
million, compared to $15.8 million at December 31, 2017. 
Closed-end  home  equity  loans  are  written  with  fixed  or 
adjustable rates with terms up to fifteen years. The change 
in the open-end equity lines and closed-end equity loans is 
primarily the result of an increase in the payoffs of open-
ended home equity lines of credit. The increased payoffs are 
the  result  of  borrowers  continued  preference  to  obtain  a 
fixed  rate  closed-equity  loan  or  to  refinance  their  first 
mortgage  and  roll  their  outstanding  open-end  equity  loan 
balances into their new home loan. 

Recreational vehicle loans were $16.2 million at December 
31,  2018,  an  increase  of  $3.0  million,  compared  to  $13.2 
million at December 31, 2017. 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 the 
balance  between  the  periods  is  due  to  loan  originations 
exceeded principal repayments during 2018. 

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 $8.7 million, or 1.46% of 
gross  loans  at  December  31,  2018,  compared  to  $9.3 
million, or 1.57% of gross loans at December 31, 2017. The 
allowance for loan losses decreased primarily because of the 
improved credit quality of the loan portfolio and the payoff 
of certain non-performing commercial loans which resulted 
in a decrease in the reserves required between the periods.

The  allocated  allowance  percentages  for  single  family, 
commercial  business  and  commercial  real  estate  loans 
decreased in 2018 primarily because of an improvement in 
the credit quality of the loans held in these portfolios. The 
allocation  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses  for  consumer 
loans  increased  due  to  changes  in  the  types  of  loans  held 
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,  2018  or 
December 31, 2017. 

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 $3.1 
million at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $0.7 million, 
or 18.0%, from $3.8 million at December 31, 2017. Non-
performing loans decreased $0.5 million and foreclosed and 
repossessed  assets  decreased  $0.2  million  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 
portfolio:

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 for the years ended 
December 31, 2018 and 2017, and $0.6 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2016. The amounts that were included 
in interest income on a cash basis for these loans were $0.1 
million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.  

At  December  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016,  there  were  loans 
included in loans receivable, net, with terms that had been 
modified in a TDR totaling $2.5 million, $3.0 million and 
$3.3  million,  respectively.  Had  the  loans  performed  in 
accordance with their original terms throughout 2018, 2017 
and 2016, the Company would have recorded gross interest 
income  of  $0.3  million,  $0.4  million  and  $0.6  million, 
respectively.  During  2018,  2017  and  2016  the  Company 
recorded gross interest income of $0.2 million, $0.2 million 
and $0.4 million, respectively. 

For the loans that were modified in 2018, $0.4 million were 
classified  and  performing  and  $1.2  million  were  non-
performing at December 31, 2018. The decrease in TDRs in 
2018 relates primarily to several retail consumer TDRs that 
were  paid  or  charged  off  during  the  year,  as  well  as  one 
commercial business loan that was charged off. Of the loans 
that were modified in 2018 and outstanding at December 31, 
2018, $1.1 million related to loans secured by commercial 
real estate, $0.4 million related to first or second mortgages  

on single family properties and the remaining modifications 
related to other consumer or commercial business loans. 

For the loans that were modified in 2017, $0.6 million were 
classified  and  performing  and  $0.4  million  were  non-
performing at December 31, 2017. The decrease in TDRs in 
2017  related  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  single  family  properties  and  the  remaining 
modifications  related  to  other  consumer  or  commercial 
business loans. 

For the loans that were modified in 2016, $0.2 million were 
classified  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  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 
were no potential problem loans identified by the Company 
as of December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2016. 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. 

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

18 

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 Federal Home Loan 
Bank  (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.

following  major 

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2018 were $20.7 
million,  a  decrease  of  $16.9  million,  compared  to  $37.6 
million  at  December  31,  2017.  Net  cash  provided  by 
operating  activities  during  2018  was  $17.8  million.  The 
Company  conducted 
investing 
activities during 2018: purchases of securities available for 
sale and FHLB stock were $5.2 million; principal payments 
and maturity proceeds received on securities available for 
sale and FHLB stock were $2.5 million; and the proceeds 
from  the  sale  of  premises  and  other  real  estate  were  $0.4 
million.  Net  loans  receivable  increased  $11.5  million  and 
the  Company  also  purchased  premises  and  equipment  of 
$2.5  million.  Net  cash  used  by  investing  activities  during 
2018  was  $16.3  million.  The  Company  conducted  the 
following major financing activities during 2018: deposits 
decreased $12.2 million, repaid borrowings of $6.8 million, 
received  proceeds  from  borrowings  of  $6.8  million, 
repurchased outstanding warrants of $6.5 million, customer 
escrows increased $0.3 million, and recognized excess tax 
benefits  from  options  exercised  of  $0.1  million.  Net  cash 
used by financing activities was $18.3 million for 2018. 

 
 
 
  
  
     
         
          
         
         
   
  
     
  
     
        
        
        
        
  
  
        
           
           
           
           
  
  
     
         
          
         
         
   
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

The Bank has certificates of deposits from customers with 
outstanding  balances  of  $75.7  million  that  mature  during 
2019. 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  $46.8  million  in  checking  and 
money  market  accounts  of  three  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  2018,  the  Bank  paid  dividends  to  the 
Company  of  $6.0  million  and  at  December  31,  2018,  the 
Company  had  $1.5  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, 
2018, the aggregate contractual obligations (excluding bank deposits) and commercial commitments were as follows:

Regulatory Capital Requirements 
The  Company  and  the  Bank  are  subject  to  the  Basel  III 
regulatory capital requirements. The Basel III requirements, 
among other things, (i) apply a set of capital requirements 
to the Bank (the Company is exempt, pursuant to the Small 
Bank  Holding  Company  Policy  Statement 
(Policy 
including  requirements 
Statement)  described  below), 
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) 
set  forth  rules  for  calculating  risk-weighted  assets  for 
purposes  of 
rules  made 
corresponding  revisions  to  the  prompt  corrective  action 
ratios  and  buffer  
framework  and 

requirements.  The 

include  capital 

such 

requirements  which  are  fully  phased  in  as  of  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 its assets, liabilities and certain off-
items  as  calculated  under  regulatory 
balance  sheet 
accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification 
are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators 
about components, risk weightings and other factors.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

The  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Federal  Reserve  System 
(FRB) amended its Policy Statement, to exempt small bank 
holding companies with assets less than $3 billion from the 
above capital requirements. 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  currently  meets 
the 
qualitative  exemption  requirements,  and  therefore,  is 
exempt from the above capital requirements. 

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure 
capital  adequacy  require  the  Bank  to  maintain  minimum 
amounts and ratios 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.  The  Bank  must  also  maintain  a  capital

no assurance that the Bank will continue to maintain such

enforcement activities, and can adjust the requirement to be 
“well-capitalized”  in  the  future.  See  “Note  17  Regulatory

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 
operations,  the  Bank's  compliance  with  regulatory  capital 
requirements  and  other 
tax 
considerations,  industry  standards,  economic  conditions, 
anticipated  asset  growth,  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,  2018  but  will  continue  to 
evaluate the best use of the Company’s capital based on the 
factors identified above.

regulatory 

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  

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, asset growth plans and cash 
flow requirements of the Company and the Bank.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

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. 

the 

New Accounting Pronouncements  
In  February  2016,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards 
Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 
2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in the ASU 
create  Topic  842,  Leases,  and  supersede 
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 
retrospective  approach.  The  modified 
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 the lease is 
modified.  As  entities  started  to  implement  the  new  leases 
standard,  many  preparers  were  encountering  some 
unanticipated  costs  and  complexities  associated  with  the 
modified  retrospective  transition  method,  particularly  the 
comparative period reporting requirements. In response to 
these issues, the FASB in July 2018 issued ASU 2018-11. 
The  amendments  in  this  ASU  provide  lessors  with  an 
additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new 
leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity 
initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date 
and  recognizes  a  cumulative-effect  adjustment  to  the 
opening  balance  of  retained  earnings  in  the  period  of 
adoption.  The  amendments  in  these  ASU’s,  for  public  

business  entities,  are  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning 
after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within 
those fiscal years. The adoption of these ASU’s in the first 
quarter of 2019 resulted in a $4.5 million right-of-use asset 
and  an  offsetting  lease  payment  obligation  liability  being 
recorded on January 1, 2019. 

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  filers  with  the  SEC,  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  has  accumulated  the  charge  off  information 
necessary  to  calculate  the  appropriate  life  of  loan  loss 
percentages  for  the  various  loan  categories,  has  identified 
several key metrics to help identify and project anticipated 
changes  in  the  credit  quality  of  our  loan  portfolio  upon 
enactment,  and  is  in  the  process  of  evaluating  the 
determination of potential qualitative reserve amounts and 
the impact that the adoption of this ASU in the first quarter 
of 2020 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial 
statements.

issued  ASU  2017-08, 
In  March  2017, 
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  price 
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 
December  15,  2018  with  early  adoption  permitted.  Upon 
adoption,  the  amendments  should  be  applied  using  a 
modified  retrospective  basis  through  a  cumulative-effect 
adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning 
of  the  period  of  adoption.  Additionally,  in  the  period  of 
adoption,  an  entity  should  provide  disclosures  about  a 
change in accounting principles. The adoption of this ASU 
in the first quarter of 2019 had no impact on the Company’s 
consolidated  financial  statements  as  the  Company  was 
already accounting for the premiums and discounts on debt 
securities in accordance with the requirements of the ASU. 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value 
Measurement  (Topic  820),  Disclosure  Framework  – 
Changes  to  the  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Fair  Value 
Measurement.  The  Amendments  in  this  ASU  apply  to  all 
entities  that  are  required,  under  existing  GAAP,  to  make 
disclosures  about  recurring  or  nonrecurring  fair  value 
measurements  and  modify  the  disclosure  requirements  on 
fair  value  measurements  in  Topic  820,  Fair  Value 
Measurement,  including  the  consideration  of  costs  and 
benefits. The ASU removed, modified, and added various 
disclosure requirements in Topic 820. The amendments also 
eliminate  at  a  minimum  from  the  phrase  an  entity  shall 
disclose at a minimum to promote the appropriate exercise 
of  discretion  by  entities  when  considering  fair  value 

measurement disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an 
appropriate consideration of entities and their auditor when 
evaluating disclosure requirements. The amendments in the 
ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim 
periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 
15,  2019.  An  entity  is  permitted  to  early  adopt  the 
implementation  of  any  removed  or  modified  disclosures 
upon  issuance  of  the  ASU  and  delay  adoption  of  the 
additional  disclosures  until  their  effective  date.  The 
Company has not opted to early adopt any portion of this 
ASU  and  the  adoption  in  the  first  quarter  of  2020  is  not 
anticipated  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s 
consolidated financial statements. 

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, 2018.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

(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 3% and 39%, depending 
on the note rate and the period to maturity. Adjustable rate 
mortgages (ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual rates 
of between 5% and 54%, 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 demand 
accounts (MMDAs) and passbook accounts were assumed 
to decay at annual rates of 1% and 3%, respectively. Retail 
non-interest  checking  and  negotiable  order  of  withdrawal 
(NOW) accounts were assumed to decay at annual rates of 
9%  and  0%, 
respectively.  Commercial  non-interest 
checking  and  NOW  accounts  were  assumed  to  decay  at 
annual  rates  of  27%  and  28%,  respectively.  Commercial 
MMDAs were assumed to decay at annual rates of between 
12% and 32%. 

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

acceptable.  The  following  table  projects  the  estimated 
impact  on  net  interest  income  during  the  twelve  month 
period ending December 31, 2019 of immediate interest rate

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. 

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 
timing  and 
investment  strategies  and  oversees 
implementation  of  transactions  as  intended  to  assure 
attainment of the Bank's objectives in an effective manner. 
In  addition,  each  quarter  the  Board  reviews  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 composition, the Bank may, 
at times, depending on the relationship between long-term 
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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

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 continued to focus 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. A significant portion 
of the Bank’s commercial loan production continues to be

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 8, 2019.

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. 

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  date  of  the  balance  sheet.  While  management  uses 
available  information  to  recognize  losses  on  loans,  future 
additions  to  the  allowance  may  be  necessary  based  on 
changes  in  economic  conditions  and  other  factors.  In 
addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of 
their  examination  process,  periodically 
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. 

review 

tax  consequences  attributable 

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.  These  calculations  are  based  on  many  complex 
factors  including  estimates  of  the  timing  of  reversals  of 
temporary differences, the interpretation of federal and state 

to 

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. 

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 
that  are 
for  premiums  and  discounts 
recognized in interest income using the interest method 
with  discounts  amortized  over  the  period  to  maturity 
and  premiums  amortized  to  the  earliest  call  date. 
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  method  with 
the 
interest 
discounts  amortized  over  the  period  to  maturity  and 
premiums amortized to the earliest call date. 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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 
impaired,  an 
deemed 
impairment loss is recognized. 

to  be  other-than-temporarily 

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  materially  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  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 taken when the 
impairment is 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. 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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, the borrower has consistently made the required 
payments for a period of six months, and the 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 
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 and performs according to the modified terms for 
a  period  of  at  least  one  year.  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.

Mortgage Servicing Rights, net 
Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized at fair value and 
amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated 
its 
net  servicing 
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 
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. The Company is no longer subject to federal or state 
income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 
2014. 

Earnings per Common Share 
Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is 
computed  by  dividing  the  income  available  to  common 
shareholders 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.

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. 

the 

New Accounting Pronouncements  
In  February  2016,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards 
Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 
2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in the ASU 
create  Topic  842,  Leases,  and  supersede 
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 
retrospective  approach.  The  modified 
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 the lease is 
modified.  As  entities  started  to  implement  the  new  leases 
standard,  many  preparers  were  encountering  some 
unanticipated  costs  and  complexities  associated  with  the 
modified  retrospective  transition  method,  particularly  the 
comparative period reporting requirements. In response to 
these issues, the FASB in July 2018 issued ASU 2018-11. 
The  amendments  in  this  ASU  provide  lessors  with  an 

additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new 
leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity 
initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date 
and  recognizes  a  cumulative-effect  adjustment  to  the 
opening  balance  of  retained  earnings  in  the  period  of 
adoption.  The  amendments  in  these  ASU’s,  for  public 
business  entities,  are  effective  for  fiscal  years  beginning 
after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within 
those fiscal years. The adoption of these ASU’s in the first 
quarter of 2019 resulted in the Company recording a $4.5 
million  right-of-use  asset  and  an  offsetting  lease  payment 
obligation liability on January 1, 2019. 

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  filers  with  the  SEC,  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  has  accumulated  the  charge  off  information 
necessary  to  calculate  the  appropriate  life  of  loan  loss 
percentages  for  the  various  loan  categories,  has  identified 
several key metrics to help identify and project anticipated 
changes  in  the  credit  quality  of  our  loan  portfolio  upon 
enactment,  and  is  in  the  process  of  evaluating  the 
determination of potential qualitative reserve amounts and 
the impact that the adoption of this ASU in the first quarter 
of 2020 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial 
statements.

the  FASB 

incorporated 

in  market  pricing  on 

issued  ASU  2017-08, 
In  March  2017, 
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  price 
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 
December  15,  2018  with  early  adoption  permitted.  Upon 
adoption,  the  amendments  should  be  applied  using  a 
modified  retrospective  basis  through  a  cumulative-effect 
adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning 
of  the  period  of  adoption.  Additionally,  in  the  period  of 
adoption,  an  entity  should  provide  disclosures  about  a 
change in accounting principles. The adoption of this ASU 
in the first quarter of 2019 had no impact on the Company’s 
consolidated  financial  statements  as  the  Company  was 
already accounting for the premiums and discounts on debt 
securities in accordance with the requirements of the ASU. 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value 
Measurement  (Topic  820),  Disclosure  Framework  – 
Changes  to  the  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Fair  Value 
Measurement.  The  Amendments  in  this  ASU  apply  to  all 
entities  that  are  required,  under  existing  GAAP,  to  make 
disclosures  about  recurring  or  nonrecurring  fair  value 
measurements  and  modify  the  disclosure  requirements  on 
fair  value  measurements  in  Topic  820,  Fair  Value 
Measurement,  including  the  consideration  of  costs  and 
benefits. The ASU removed, modified, and added various 
disclosure requirements in Topic 820. The amendments also 
eliminate  at  a  minimum  from  the  phrase  an  entity  shall 
disclose at a minimum to promote the appropriate exercise 
of  discretion  by  entities  when  considering  fair  value 
measurement disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an 
appropriate consideration of entities and their auditor when 
evaluating disclosure requirements. The amendments in the 
ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim 
periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 
15,  2019.  An  entity  is  permitted  to  early  adopt  the 
implementation  of  any  removed  or  modified  disclosures 
upon  issuance  of  the  ASU  and  delay  adoption  of  the 

34 

additional  disclosures  until  their  effective  date.  The 
Company has not opted to early adopt any portion of this 
ASU  and  the  adoption  in  the  first  quarter  of  2020  is  not 
anticipated  to  have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company’s 
consolidated financial statements. 

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

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 
with the requirements of ASU 805 - Business 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  previously  existing  branch 
location in Albert Lea. 

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 

 
 
 
  
   
  
  
  
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

allowance  for  credit  losses  are  less  meaningful  after  the 
acquisition.  The  purchased  loans  were  divided  into  loans 
with  evidence  of  credit  quality  deterioration,  which  are 
accounted  for  under  ASC  topic  310-30  “Receivables  – 
Loans  and  Debt  Securities  Acquired  with  Deteriorated 
Credit Quality” (purchased credit impaired (PCI)) and loans 
that do not meet this criteria, which are accounted for under 
ASC topic 310-20 “Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” 
(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 
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.

The Company did not sell any available for sale securities 
in 2018, but did recognize some losses on equity securities 
that  were  not  considered  material  due  to  the  adoption  of

and  Financial  Liabilities  in  the  first  quarter  of  2018.  The 
Company did not sell any available for sale securities and 
did  not  recognize  any  gains  or  losses  on  investments  in 
2017.  In  2016,  there  were  no  material  gains  or  losses

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 
impaired securities other than the corporate preferred stock 
are  the  result  of  changes  in  interest  rates.  The  unrealized 
losses  reported  for  the  corporate  preferred  stock  at 
December  31,  2018  relates  to  a  single  trust  preferred 
security that was issued by the holding company of a small 
community  bank.  As  of  December  31,  2018  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, 2018. The Company does not intend to sell 
the preferred stock and has the intent and ability to hold it 
for a period of time sufficient to recover the temporary loss. 
Management  believes  that  the  Company  will  receive  all 
principal  and  interest  payments  contractually  due  on  the 
security  and  that  the  decrease  in  the  market  value  is 
primarily due to a lack of liquidity in the market for trust 
preferred securities. Management will continue to monitor 
the credit risk of the issuer and may be required to recognize 
other-than-temporary impairment charges on this security in 
future periods.

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, 2018, 2017 and 2016, non-accruing loans 
totaled  $2.7  million,  $3.2  million  and  $3.3  million, 
respectively, for which the related allowance for loan losses 
was  $0.7  million,  $0.9  million  and  $0.8  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, $0.4 million  and $0.7 
million at December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 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,  $0.3 
million  and  $0.6  million  in  2018,  2017  and  2016, 
respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 
and 2016, the Company recognized interest income on these 
loans  of  $0.1  million,  $0.1  million  and  $0.4  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 
include some of the loans that have had terms modified in a 
TDR.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

At  December  31,  2018,  2017  and  2016,  there  were  loans 
included in loans receivable, net, with terms that had been 
modified in a TDR totaling $2.5 million, $3.0 million and 
$3.3 million, respectively. Had these loans been performing 
in  accordance  with  their  original  terms  throughout  2018, 
2017  and  2016,  the  Company  would  have  recorded  gross 
interest  income  of  $0.3  million,  $0.4  million  and  $0.6 
million,  respectively.  During  2018,  2017  and  2016,  the 
Company recognized interest income of $0.2 million, $0.2 
million and $0.4 million, respectively, on these loans. For 
the  loans  that  were  modified  in  2018,  $0.4  million  were 
classified  and  performing  and  $1.2  million  were  non-
performing at December 31, 2018.

As  of  December  31,  2018,  the  Bank  had  commitments  to 
lend an additional $0.9 million to a borrower who has a 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  $0.8  million  to  this  same  borrower  at 
December 31, 2017. 

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, 2018 and 
2017:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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 $0.6 million, or 7.2%, of the total $8.7 million in 
allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2018, and $0.9 
million, or 9.8%, of the total $9.3 million in allowance for 
loan losses at December 31, 2017. 

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 
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.

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, 2018 was $0.2 million.

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, 
2018.  The  Company’s  actual  experience  may  be 
significantly different depending upon changes in mortgage 
interest rates and other market conditions. 

No material provision for loan losses was recognized during 
the  period  ended  December  31,  2018  related  to  acquired 
loans as there was no significant change to the credit quality 
of the loans.

in 2023. 

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. 

Retained  earnings  at  December  31,  2018 
included 
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.  The  Company  could  not 
currently  identify  any  negative  evidence.  Based  upon  this 
evaluation,  the  Company  determined  that  no  valuation 
allowance was required with respect to the net deferred tax 
assets at December 31, 2018 and 2017. 

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, 2018 because such information is 
not  accumulated  for  each  participating  institution.  As  of 
June  30,  2018,  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 2018. 

Funded  status  (market  value  of  plan  assets  divided  by 
funding  target)  as  of  July  1  for  the 2018, 2017,  and 2016 
plan years were 89.86%, 95.45%, and 97.09%, respectively. 
Market value of plan assets reflects contributions received 
through June 30, 2018. 

Total employer contributions made to the Pentegra DB Plan, 
as  reported  on  Form  5500,  equal  $367.1  million,  $153.2 
million, and $163.1 for the plan years ended June 30, 2017, 
2016  and  2015,  respectively.  The  Bank’s  contributions  to 
the  Pentegra  DB  Plan  are  not  more  than  5%  of  the  total 
contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. There is no funding 
improvement plan or rehabilitation plan as part of this multi-
employer plan.

 (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  $18,500  for  2018  and  $18,000  for  2017  and 
2016.  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 2018, 2017 and 2016. 

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 2018, 2017 and 
2016. 

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. 
ESOP  compensation  expense  was  $0.5  million  for  2018, 
$0.4 million for 2017 and $0.3 million for 2016. 

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  April  2009  the  HMN  Financial,  Inc.  2009  Equity  and 
Incentive Plan (2009 Plan) was adopted by the Company. In 
April  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, 2018 there were 22,819 
vested and 11,410 unvested options outstanding under the 
2009 Plan. These options expire 10 years from the date of 
grant and have an average exercise price of $11.21. There 
were also 7,340 shares of restricted stock previously granted 
to  current  employees  under  the  2009  Plan  that  as  of 
December 31, 2018 remained unvested.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

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 
their  interests  with  those  of  the  Company’s  stockholders, 
and to thereby promote the Company’s long-term business 
success.  375,000  shares  of  HMN  common  stock  were 
initially  available  for  distribution  under  the  2017  Plan  in 
either restricted stock or options, subject to adjustment for 
future stock splits, stock dividends and similar changes to 

capitalization  of  the  Company.  Additionally,  shares  of 
restricted stock that are awarded are counted as 1.5 shares 
for  purposes  of  determining  the  total  shares  available  for 
issuance  under  the  2017  Plan.  As  of  December  31,  2018, 
there  were  no  options  outstanding  under  the  2017  Plan. 
There  were  7,224  shares  of  restricted  stock  previously 
granted  to  current  employees  under  the  2017  Plan  that 
remained unvested at December 31, 2018.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

The Company will issue shares from treasury stock upon the 
exercise of outstanding options. 

The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the 
options granted during 2016 are as follows: 

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 
grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black 
Scholes  option  valuation  method.  There  were  no  options 
granted in 2018 or 2017.

NOTE 16 Stockholders' Equity 
The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common 
stock  in  the  open  market  or  pay  any  dividends  on  its 
common stock during 2018, 2017 or 2016. The Company 
did purchase 3,589 shares of common stock, at a value of 
$19.94 per share, from a director in a cashless exchange of 
options exercised in 2018.     

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  States 
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 
Purchase  Program  under 
the  Emergency  Economic 
Stabilization Act of 2008. 

On  February  17,  2015,  the  Company  redeemed  the  final 
10,000 shares of outstanding Preferred Stock. On May 21, 
2015, the Treasury sold the Warrant at an exercise price of  
$4.68 per share to three unaffiliated third party investors for 
an aggregate purchase price of $5.7 million. In 2018, all of 
the  outstanding  Warrants  were  either  exercised  by  the 
Warrant  holder  or  repurchased  by  the  Company.  These  

Warrant  transactions  resulted  in  the  Company  issuing  an 
additional 319,651 shares of common stock from treasury 
shares  for  Warrants  that  were  exercised  and  paying  $6.5 
million in cash to repurchase the remaining Warrants. As a 
result of these transactions, the Company no longer has any 
obligations under the Warrant. 

On November 28, 2018, the Board of Directors announced 
a  new  share  repurchase  program,  pursuant  to  which  the 
Company may purchase shares of its common stock for an 
aggregate  purchase  price  not  to  exceed  $6  million.  The 
share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to 
purchase  any  shares  and  has  no  set  expiration  date.  No 
shares were repurchased by the Company in 2018 under the 
share repurchase program. 

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

NOTE 17 Regulatory Capital  
The  Company  and  the  Bank  are  subject  to  the  Basel  III 
regulatory capital requirements. The Basel III requirements, 
among other things, (i) apply a set of capital requirements 
to the Bank (the Company is exempt, pursuant to the Small 
(Policy 
Bank  Holding  Company  Policy  Statement 
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) 
set  forth  rules  for  calculating  risk-weighted  assets  for 
purposes  of 
rules  made 
corresponding  revisions  to  the  prompt  corrective  action 
ratios  and  buffer 
framework  and 
requirements  which  are  fully  phased  in  as  of  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 its assets, liabilities and certain off- 

requirements.  The 

include  capital 

such 

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. 

The  FRB  amended  its  Policy  Statement,  to  exempt  small 
bank  holding  companies  with  assets  less  than  $3  billion 
from the above capital requirements. 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 currently meets 
the  qualitative  exemption  requirements,  and  therefore,  is 
exempt from the above capital requirements. 

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. 

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Bank's capital amounts and ratios are presented for actual capital, required capital and 
excess capital including amounts and ratios in order to qualify as being well capitalized under the prompt corrective action 
regulations:

(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 2018, the capital conservation buffer 
was 1.875% and in 2019, and for all periods thereafter, the 
buffer  amount  increases  to  2.50%.  Management  believes 
that,  as  of  December  31,  2018,  the  Bank’s  capital  ratios 
were in excess of those quantitative capital ratio standards 

set  forth  under  the  current  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  adjust  the  requirement  to  be  well-capitalized  in  the 
future.  In  addition,  the  Company  must  adhere  to  various 
U.S.  Department  of  Housing  and  Urban  Development 
(HUD) regulatory guidelines including required minimum

with the HUD guidelines could result in withdrawal of this

in compliance with HUD guidelines. 

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 
in  making 
Company  uses 
commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. 

the  same  credit  policies 

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 44 months 
and  totaled  $2.6  million  at  December  31,  2018  and  $1.9 
million  at  December  31,  2017.  The  letters  of  credit  are 
collateralized  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,  2018,  the  aggregate  contractual  obligations 
(excluding  bank  deposits)  and  commercial  commitments 
were as follows:

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.

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

As  of  December  31,  2018  and  2017, 
the  current 
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, 2018 and December 31, 2017 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, 2018 and 2017.

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 2018 
and 2017 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, 2018 
and 2017.

(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,  2018  and  2017  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 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.  The  fair  value  disclosures  for  both  the 
fixed and adjustable rate portfolios were adjusted to reflect 
the  exit  price  amount  anticipated  to  be  received  from  the 
sale  of  the  portfolio  in  an  open  market  transaction  as 
required  upon  adoption  of  ASU  2016-01,  Financial 
Instruments  –  Overall  (Subtopic  825-10)  Recognition  and 
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities 
beginning in the first quarter of 2018. 

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 disclosures for all of the deposits 
were adjusted to reflect the exit price amount anticipated to 
be received from the sale of the deposits in an open market 
transaction  as  required  upon  adoption  of  ASU  2016-01,

Instruments  –  Overall 

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.
