This Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports filed by HMN Financial, Inc (HMN or the
Company) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), may contain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).
These statements are often identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect,” “estimate,”
“intend,” “look,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “project,” “continue,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,”
“target,” “goal,” “should,” and “trend,” or similar statements or variations of such terms and include, but
are not limited to, those relating to: the adequacy and amount of available liquidity and capital resources
to Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank); the Company’s liquidity and capital requirements; enacted
and expected changes to the federal funds rate and their impact on the rates paid on our interest-bearing
liabilities; the impacts of past and ongoing deterioration in economic conditions and efforts to mitigate the
same on the general economy, the Bank’s clients, and the allowance for loan losses; the amount of the
Bank’s non-performing assets in future periods and the appropriateness of the allowances therefor; the
amount and composition of interest earning assets; the anticipated changes in outstanding loan balances;
the amount and compositions of non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities; the availability of alternate
funding sources; the payment of dividends or repurchases of stock by HMN; the amount of deposits that
will be withdrawn from checking and money market accounts and how the withdrawn deposits will be
replaced; the projected changes in net interest income based on rate shocks; the range that interest rates
may fluctuate over the next twelve months; the net market risk of interest rate shocks; the future outlook
for the issuer of the trust preferred securities held by the Bank; the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to
HMN; the ability to remain well capitalized; the impact of new accounting pronouncements; and
compliance by the Bank with regulatory standards generally (including the Bank’s status as “well-
capitalized”) and other supervisory directives or requirements to which the Company or the Bank are or
may become expressly subject.
A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s assumptions and
expectations. These include but are not limited to potential further deterioration in economic conditions,
the adequacy and marketability of real estate and other collateral securing loans to borrowers; federal and
state regulation and enforcement; possible legislative and regulatory changes, including changes to
regulatory capital rules; the ability of the Bank to comply with other applicable regulatory capital
requirements; enforcement activity of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis in the event of non-compliance with any applicable regulatory
standard or requirement; adverse economic, business and competitive developments such as shrinking
interest margins, reduced collateral values, deposit outflows, changes in credit or other risks posed by the
Company’s loan and investment portfolios; changes in costs associated with traditional and alternate
funding sources, including changes in collateral advance rates and policies of the Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) and the Federal Reserve Bank; technological, computer-related or operational difficulties
including those from any third party cyberattack; results of litigation; reduced demand for financial
services and loan products; changes in accounting policies and guidelines, or monetary and fiscal policies
of the federal government or tax laws; domestic and international economic developments; the
Company’s access to and adverse changes in securities markets; the market for credit related assets; the
future operating results, financial condition, cash flow requirements and capital spending priorities of the
Company and the Bank; the availability of internal and, as required, external sources of funding; the
Company’s ability to attract and retain employees; or other significant uncertainties. Additional factors
that may cause actual results to differ from the Company’s assumptions and expectations include those set
forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2022. All forward-looking statements are qualified by, and should be considered in
conjunction with, such cautionary statements.
All statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including forward-looking statements, speak only as
of the date they are made, and we undertake no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after
the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
PART I
General
HMN was incorporated in Delaware in 1994 as a stock savings bank holding company. HMN owns 100
percent of Home Federal Savings 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.
As a community-oriented financial institution, the Company seeks to serve the financial needs of
communities in its market area. The Company’s business involves attracting deposits from the general
public and businesses and using such deposits to originate or purchase single family residential,
commercial real estate and multi-family mortgage loans as well as consumer, construction and

Lending Activities
General. The Company originates 15 and 30 year fixed ra te mortgage loans secured by single family
residences and sells the majority of these loans into the secondary market in order to manage its interest
rate risk. However, the Company may place some 10 and 15 year fixed rate mortgage loans that are
eligible for sale in the secondary market into the loan portfolio from time to time in order to increase the
yield earned on the Bank’s interest earning assets. The Company also originates shorter term and
generally higher yielding commercial real estate, commercial business and construction loans that it
places into its loan portfolio. Some shorter term single family fixed rate mortgage loans and single family
adjustable rate mortgage loans are also placed into the loan portfolio. The Company also offers an array
of consumer loan products that include both open-end and closed-end home equity loans. Home equity
lines of credit have adjustable interest rates based upon the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street
Journal, plus a margin. Refer to “Note 5 Loans Receivable, Net” and “Note 6 Allowance for Loan Losses
and Credit Quality Information” in Item 8 of Part II in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of
this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the loan portfolio.

The aggregate amount of loans and extensions of credit that the Bank is permitted to make to any one
borrower is generally limited to 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. In addition to the 15% limit, the
Bank is permitted to lend an additional amount equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus if the
additional amount is fully secured by “readily marketable collateral” having a current market value of at
least 100% of the loan or extension of credit. Similarly, the Bank is permitted to lend additional amounts
equal to the lesser of 30% of unimpaired capital and surplus, or $30 million, for certain residential
development loans. Applicable law establishes a number of rules for combining loans to separate
borrowers. Loans or extensions of credit to one person may be attributed to other persons if: (i) the
proceeds of a loan or extension of credit are used for the direct benefit of the other person; or (ii) a
common enterprise is deemed to exist between persons. At December 31, 2022, based upon the 15%
limitation, the Bank's regulatory limit for loans to one borrower was approximately $16.2 million and no
loans to any one borrower exceeded this amount. At December 31, 2022, the Bank’s largest aggregate
amount of loans to one borrower totaled $15.1 million. All of the loans for the largest borrower were
performing in accordance with their terms as of December 31, 2022 and the borrower had no affiliation
with the Bank other than their relationship as a customer.
All of the Bank's lending is subject to its written underwriting standards and to loan origination
procedures. Decisions on loan requests are made on the basis of detailed applications and property
valuations determined by an independent appraiser. The loan applications are designed primarily to
determine the borrower's ability to repay. The more significant items on the application are verified
through the use of credit reports, financial statements, tax returns or confirmations.
Single family loans are originated either for inclusion in the loan portfolio under the Bank’s Portfolio
First loan program or for sale in the secondary market to the Federal National Mortgage Association
(FNMA) on a servicing retained basis or to other third party investors on a servicing released basis. The
limit for a retail mortgage originated for sale on the secondary market was $647,200 and $548,250 for
2022 and 2021, respectively, and these loans require the approval of a designated secondary market
underwriter.
Two levels of approval authority have been established for loans originated under the Portfolio First loan
program. The two levels of authority include Approved Portfolio First Lenders and Credit Administration
positions with Portfolio First approval authority. Approved Portfolio First Lenders are select mortgage
loan officers recommended for the Portfolio First program approval authority by their Market President
and are approved by the Chief Credit Officer or Chief Operating Officer. The Credit Administration
positions with Portfolio First approval authority include the Director of Retail Lending and Loan
Servicing, the Chief Credit Officer, the designated Assistant Vice President (AVP) Credit Administration
and the Chief Operating Officer.
Loans less than $750,000 require the approval of one of the two designated Credit Administration
individuals with Portfolio First approval authority. Loans over $750,000 require the approval of two
individuals with Portfolio First approval authority. Loans where the total aggregate amount of all loan
obligations owed or guaranteed to the Bank plus the new obligation is greater than $2.5 million require
the approval of a majority of the Senior Loan Committee, which is comprised of the Bank’s most
experienced lending staff.
Loans that meet the underwriting guidelines of secondary market investors are approved by designated
Credit Administration positions. The Credit Administration positions with secondary market approval
authority include Retail Loan Underwriters, the Director of Retail Lending and Servicing, the Chief
Credit Officer and the Chief Operating Officer. Resident, Physician and Professional loan products that
fall under the Portfolio First Policy are underwritten by a Retail Loan Underwriter who has the authority
to approve these loans. Resident, Physician and Professional loans with exceptions require a second
approval from an individual with Portfolio First approval authority. Approval level authorities are granted
by the Chief Credit Officer or Chief Operating Officer and confirmed by the Executive Loan Committee
8
on an annual basis. Loans are originated based on the specific guidelines established by the secondary
market investor.
The Bank generally requires title insurance on its mortgage loans, as well as fire and extended coverage
casualty insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount of the loan or the value of
improvements on the property. The Bank also requires flood insurance to protect the property securing its
interest when the property is located in a flood plain.
Single Family Residential Real Estate Lending. At December 31, 2022, the Company's single family
real estate loans, consisting of both fixed rate and adjustable rate loans, totaled $205.9 million, an increase
of $42.6 million from $163.3 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in the single family loans in
2022 is the result of an increased emphasis on placing shorter term fixed rate (10 year and certain 15 year
loans) and adjustable rate single family loans into the portfolio. The majority of the longer term loans that
were originated during the year continued to be sold into the secondary market in order to generate
income and to manage the Company’s interest rate risk position.
The Company offers conventional fixed rate single family loans that have maximum terms of 30 years. In
order to manage interest rate risk, the Company typically sells the majority of fixed rate loan originations
with terms to maturity of 15 years or greater that are eligible for sale in the secondary market. The interest
rates charged on the fixed rate loan products are based on the secondary market delivery rates, as well as
other competitive factors. The Company also originates fixed rate loans with terms up to 30 years that are
insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Veteran’s Administration (VA), Minnesota
Housing Finance Agency, Iowa Finance Authority, or the United States Department of Agriculture-
Guaranteed Housing (RD).
The Company also offers one year adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) at a margin (generally 250 to 300
basis points) over the yield on the Average Weekly One Year U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Index for
terms of up to 30 years. The ARMs offered by the Company allow the borrower to select (subject to
pricing) an initial period of one to fifteen years between the loan origination and the date the first interest
rate change occurs. The ARMs generally have a 200 basis point annual interest rate change cap and a
lifetime cap of 600 basis points over or under the initial rate. The Company’s originated ARMs do not
permit negative amortization of principal, generally do not contain prepayment penalties and are not
convertible into fixed rate loans. Because of the low interest rate environment that has existed over the
last few years, a limited number of ARM loans had been originated prior to 2022 as consumers generally
opted for longer term fixed rate loans. Because of the increase in mortgage interest rates during 2022,
more adjustable rate loans were originated and placed into the loan portfolio.
In underwriting single family residential real estate loans, the Company evaluates the borrower's credit
history and ability to make principal, interest and escrow payments; the value of the property that will
secure the loan; and debt-to-income ratios. Properties securing single family residential real estate loans
made by the Company are appraised by independent appraisers. The Company originates residential
mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios up to 100% for owner-occupied homes and up to 85% for
nonowner-occupied homes; however, private mortgage insurance is generally required to reduce the
Company's exposure to 80% or less of the value on most loans. The Company generally seeks to
underwrite its loans in accordance with secondary market, FHA, VA or RD standards. However, the
Company does originate some shorter term fixed rate and adjustable rate single family loans for its
portfolio that do not meet certain secondary market guidelines.
The Company's single family mortgage loans customarily include due-on-sale clauses giving it the right
to declare the loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells
or otherwise disposes of the property subject to the mortgage.

At December 31, 2022, $0.9 million of the single family residential loan portfolio was non-performing,
compared to $0.3 million at December 31, 2021.
Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Lending. The Company originates permanent commercial
real estate and multi-family loans secured by properties located primarily in its market area. It also
purchases a limited amount of participations in commercial real estate and multi-family loans originated
by third parties. The commercial real estate and multi-family loan portfolio includes loans secured by
motels, hotels, apartment buildings, townhomes, churches, manufacturing plants, land developments,
office buildings, movie theaters, shopping malls, nursing homes, restaurants, warehouses and other non-
residential building properties primarily located in the upper Midwestern portion of the United States. At
December 31, 2022, the Company’s commercial and multi-family real estate loans totaled $424.8 million,
an increase of $75.2 million from $349.6 million at December 31, 2021.
Permanent commercial real estate and multi-family loans are generally originated for a maximum term of
10 years and may have longer amortization periods with balloon maturity features. The interest rates may
be fixed for the term of the loan or have adjustable features that are tied to the prime rate or another
published index. Commercial real estate and multi-family loans are generally written in amounts up to
80% of the lesser of the appraised value of the property or the purchase price and generally have a debt
service coverage ratio of at least 110%. The debt service coverage ratio is the ratio of net cash from
operations to debt service payments. The Company may originate construction loans secured by
commercial or multi-family real estate, or may purchase participation interests in third party originated
construction loans secured by commercial or multi-family real estate.
Appraisals on commercial real estate and multi-family real estate properties are performed by
independent appraisers prior to the time the loan is made. For transactions less than $500,000, the
Company may use an internal valuation. All appraisals on commercial and multi-family real estate are
reviewed and approved by a qualified Bank employee or independent third party. The Bank's
underwriting procedures require verification of the borrower's credit history, income, financial statements,
banking relationships and income projections for the property. The commercial loan policy generally
requires personal guarantees from the proposed borrowers. An initial on-site inspection is generally
required for all collateral properties for loans with balances in excess of $250,000. Independent annual
reviews are performed for aggregate commercial lending relationships that exceed $500,000. The reviews
cover financial performance, documentation completeness and accuracy of loan risk ratings.
Multi-family and commercial real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured
by single family residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of
principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on
income producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of
loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate is
typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash flow from
the project is reduced (for example, if leases are not obtained or renewed), the borrower's ability to repay
the loan may be impaired. At December 31, 2022, there were no loans in the commercial real estate
portfolio that were non-performing, compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2021. The largest non-
performing loan in this category as of December 31, 2021 was a $3.4 million loan relationship in the
hospitality industry located in the Bank’s primary market area.
Construction Lending. The Company makes construction loans to individuals for the construction of
their residences and to builders for the construction of single family residences. It also makes loans to
builders for houses built on speculation. Construction loans also include commercial real estate loans.
Almost all loans to individuals for the construction of their residences are structured as permanent loans.
These loans are made on the same terms as residential loans, except that during the construction phase,
which typically lasts up to twelve months, the borrower pays interest only. Generally, the borrower also
10
pays a construction fee at the time of origination plus other costs associated with processing the loan.
Residential construction loans are underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating
residential loans on existing properties.
Construction loans to builders or developers of single family residences generally carry terms of one year.
Construction loans to owner occupants are generally made in amounts up to 95% of the lesser of cost or
appraised value, but no more than 90% of the loan proceeds can be disbursed until the building is
completed. The Company generally limits the loan-to-value ratios on loans to builders to 80%. Prior to
making a commitment to fund a construction loan, the Company requires a valuation of the property,
financial data and verification of the borrower's income. The Company obtains personal guarantees for
substantially all of its construction loans to builders. Personal financial statements of guarantors are also
obtained as part of the loan underwriting process. Construction loans are generally located in the
Company's market area.
Construction loans are obtained principally through continued business from builders and developers who
have previously borrowed from the Bank, as well as referrals from existing and walk-in clients. The
application process includes a submission to the Bank of accurate plans, specifications and costs of the
project to be constructed. These items are some of the factors utilized in the determination of the
appraised value of the subject property to be built.
At December 31, 2022, construction loans totaled $46.5 million, a decrease of $0.7 million from $47.2
million at December 31, 2021. Total construction loans included $28.4 million and $23.3 million of single
family residential, $1.7 million and $10.0 million of multi-family residential and $16.4 million and $13.9
million of commercial real estate loans at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The nature of
construction loans makes them more difficult to evaluate and monitor than loans on existing buildings.
The risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the
property's value upon completion of the project, experience of the builder and the estimated cost
(including interest) of the project. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be
confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value that is insufficient to
assure full repayment or the possibility of having to make substantial investments to complete and sell the
project. Because defaults in repayment may not occur during the construction period, it may be difficult to
identify problem loans at an early stage. In these cases, the Company may be required to modify the terms
of the loan. There were no construction loans in the commercial real estate portfolio that were non-
performing at December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Consumer Lending. The Company originates a variety of consumer loans, including home equity loans
(open-end and closed-end), automobile, recreational vehicles, mobile home, lot loans, loans secured by
deposit accounts and other loans for household and personal purposes. At December 31, 2022, the
Company’s consumer loans totaled $44.8 million, an increase of $3.2 million from $41.6 million at
December 31, 2021.
Consumer loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length of contract and
creditworthiness of the borrower. The Company's consumer loans are made at fixed or adjustable interest
rates, with terms up to 20 years for secured loans and up to five years for unsecured loans.
The Company's home equity loans are generally written so that the total commitment amount, when
combined with the balance of any other outstanding mortgage liens, does not exceed 80% of the appraised
value of the property or an internally established market value. Internal market values are established
using current market data, including recent sales data, and are typically lower than third party appraised
values. The closed-end home equity loans are written with fixed or adjustable rates with terms up to 20
years. The open-end home equity lines are written with an adjustable rate and a 2, 5 or 10 year draw
period that requires interest only payments followed by a 10 year repayment period that fully amortizes
11
the outstanding balance. The consumer may access the open-end home equity line by making a
withdrawal at the Bank, transferring funds through our online or mobile banking products or writing a
check on the home equity line of credit account. Open and closed-end equity loans, which are generally
secured by second mortgages on the borrower’s principal residence, represented 63.4% and 60.1% of the
Company’s consumer loan portfolio at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
The underwriting standards employed by the Company for consumer loans include a determination of the
applicant's payment history on other debts and their ability to meet existing obligations and payments on
the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the
underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the
proposed loan amount. Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans,
particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets,
such as automobiles, recreational vehicles or mobile homes. In these cases, any repossessed collateral for
a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan
balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan
collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be
affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state
laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount that can be recovered on such
loans. At December 31, 2022, $0.4 million of the consumer loan portfolio was non-performing, compared
to $0.5 million at December 31, 2021.
Commercial Business Lending. The Company maintains a portfolio of commercial business loans to
borrowers associated with the real estate industry as well as to retail, manufacturing operations,
agricultural operations and professional firms. The Company's commercial business loans generally have
terms ranging from six months to five years and may have either fixed or variable interest rates. The
Company's commercial business loans generally include personal guarantees and are usually, but not
always, secured by business assets such as inventory, equipment, leasehold interests in equipment,
fixtures, real estate and accounts receivable. The underwriting process for commercial business loans
includes consideration of the borrower's financial statements, tax returns, projections of future business
operations and inspection of the subject collateral, if any. The Company may also purchase a limited
amount of participation interests in commercial business loans originated outside of the Company’s
market area from third party originators. These loans generally have underlying collateral of inventory or
equipment and repayment periods of less than ten years. At December 31, 2022, the Company’s
commercial business loans totaled $65.8 million, an increase of $5.6 million from $60.2 million at
December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $4.4 million increase in outstanding secured
commercial lines of credit between the periods.
Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to
make repayment from his or her income, and which are secured by real property with more easily
ascertainable value, commercial business loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of
the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the
availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on
the success of the business itself. Furthermore, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time,
may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. At
December 31, 2022, $0.5 million of loans in the commercial business portfolio were non-performing. At
December 31, 2021 the amount of non-performing loans in the commercial business portfolio was not
material.
Originations, Purchases and Sales of Loans and Mortgage-Backed and Related Securities
Real estate loans are generally originated by the Company's salaried loan officers. Mortgage and
consumer loan officers may also receive a commission in addition to their base salary for meeting
production and other branch goals. Loan applications are taken in all branch and loan production offices.
12
The Company originates both fixed and adjustable rate loans, however, its ability to originate loans is
dependent upon the relative client demand for loans in its markets. Demand for adjustable rate loans is
affected by the interest rate environment. The amount of adjustable rate single family loans increased in
2022 due to an increase in longer term fixed rate mortgage interest rates which made adjustable rate
mortgages a more affordable option for some borrowers to purchase a home. The Company originated
$28.0 million of single family adjustable rate loans for its portfolio during 2022, an increase of $9.2
million from $18.8 million in 2021. The Company also originated $36.3 million of fixed rate single
family loans for its portfolio during 2022, a decrease of $35.8 million from $72.1 million for 2021. The
decrease in the amount of fixed rate single family loans that were placed into the loan portfolio during
2022 is primarily the result of selling more 15 year fixed rate mortgage loans, that were eligible for sale,
into the secondary market and not placing them into the loan portfolio in order to manage the Company’s
interest rate risk.
The Company typically focuses its portfolio loan origination efforts on commercial real estate,
commercial business and consumer loans because these loans have terms to maturity and adjustable
interest rate characteristics that are generally more beneficial to the Company in managing interest rate
risk than traditional single family fixed rate conventional loans. The Company originated $249.9 million
of multi-family and commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans (which excludes
commercial real estate loans for construction and development) during 2022, an increase of $10.7 million
from originations of $239.2 million for 2021. The increase in originations primarily reflects the $73.2
million increase in originations of commercial real estate loans in 2022 compared to 2021. This increase
was partially offset by the $66.4 million decrease in commercial business loans that were originated in
2022 compared to 2021. The decrease in originated commercial business loans was primarily because of
the decrease in the loans originated under the Paycheck Protection Program between the periods.
In order to supplement loan demand in the Company's market area and geographically diversify its loan
portfolio, the Company purchases participations in real estate loans from selected sellers, from time to
time, with yields based upon then-current market rates. The Company reviews and underwrites all loans
purchased to ensure that they meet the Company's underwriting standards, and the seller generally
continues to service the loans. The Company has generally not experienced higher losses or credit quality
issues with purchased participations than other loans originated by the Company. The Company
purchased $18.5 million of loans during 2022, an increase of $13.7 million from the $4.8 million
purchased during 2021. All of the loans purchased have terms and interest rates that are similar in nature
to the Company's originated single family, commercial real estate, construction and development and
commercial business portfolios.
The Company has mortgage-backed and related securities that are held, based on investment intent, in the
available for sale portfolio. The Company acquired mortgage-backed securities of $15.0 million and
$188.8 million, respectively, in 2022 and 2021. The decrease in the amount of mortgage-backed
securities purchased in 2022 is because of the reduced growth in deposit balances between the periods.
Because of the significant increase in deposit balances in 2021, the Bank had excess liquidity that was
used to purchase additional investments and in 2022 there was more loan growth and a limited amount of
excess liquidity. The Company did not sell any mortgage-backed securities in 2022 or 2021. See
“Investment Activities” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of the
Company’s investment activity.

Classified Assets and Delinquencies
Classification of Assets. Federal regulations require that each savings institution evaluate and classify its
assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of savings institutions, the OCC or
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) examiners may identify problem assets and, if
appropriate, require them to be classified with an adverse rating. There are three adverse classifications:
substandard, doubtful, and loss. Assets classified as substandard have one or more defined weaknesses
and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are
not corrected. Assets 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. An asset classified as loss is considered
uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset on the balance sheet of the institution is
not warranted. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish prudent
specific allowances for loan losses. If an asset, or portion thereof, is classified as a loss, the institution
generally charges off such amount. On the basis of management's review of its assets, at December 31,
2022, the Bank classified a total of $15.2 million of its loans and real estate as follows:

The Bank's classified assets consist of non-performing loans and other assets and loans of concern
discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in
Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. See “Note 6 Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit
Quality Information” in Item 8 of Part II in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K for more information on classified assets.
Delinquency Procedures. Generally, the following procedures apply to delinquent single family real
estate loans. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, the Company attempts to cure
the delinquency by contacting the borrower. A late notice is sent on all loans over 16 days delinquent.
Additional written and verbal contacts are made with the borrower between 30 and 60 days after the due
date. If the loan is contractually delinquent 90 days, the Company sends a 30-day demand letter to the
borrower and after the loan is contractually delinquent 120 days, institutes appropriate action to foreclose
on the property. If foreclosed, the property is sold at a sheriff’s sale and may be purchased by the
Company. Delinquent commercial real estate and commercial business loans are generally handled in a
similar manner. The Company's procedures for repossession and sale of consumer collateral are subject to
various requirements under state consumer protection laws.
Real estate acquired by the Company as a result of foreclosure is typically classified as real estate in
judgment for six to twelve months and thereafter as real estate owned until it is sold. When property is
acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded as real estate owned at the estimated
fair value less the estimated cost of disposition. After acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the
property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are
capitalized to the extent of fair value less disposition cost.
The following table sets forth the Company's loan delinquencies by loan type, amount and percentage of
loan category at December 31, 2022 for loans past due 60 days or more.

non-performing asset total at December 31, 2022.
Investment Activities
The Company utilizes the available for sale securities portfolio in virtually all aspects of asset/liability
management. In making investment decisions, the Investment-Asset/Liability Committee considers,
among other things, the yield and interest rate objectives, the credit risk position and the Bank's liquidity
and projected cash flow requirements.
Securities. Federally-chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in various types of liquid
assets, including United States Treasury obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain
certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' acceptances, repurchase
agreements and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, the holding company of a federally-
chartered savings institution may also invest its assets in commercial paper, investment grade corporate
debt securities and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federally-chartered
savings institution is otherwise authorized to make directly.
16
The investment strategy of the Company has been directed toward a mix of high-quality government
agency obligations with short terms-to-maturity. At December 31, 2022, the Company did not own any
investment securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of the Company's stockholders’ equity other
than U.S. government agency obligations.
The Bank invests a portion of its liquid assets in interest-earning overnight deposits of the FHLB of Des
Moines and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Other investments may include high grade
municipal bonds, corporate preferred stock, corporate equity securities and medium-term (up to five
years) federal agency notes. HMN may invest in the same type of investment securities as the Bank. See
“Note 4 Securities Available For Sale” in Item 8 Part II in the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company's
securities portfolio.

Mortgage-Backed and Related Securities. In order to supplement loan production and achieve its
asset/liability management goals, the Company invests in mortgage-backed and related securities. All of
the mortgage-backed and related securities owned by the Company are issued, insured or guaranteed
either directly or indirectly by a U.S. government agency or are rated “AA” or higher. The Company had
$192.7 million of mortgage-backed and related securities that were all classified as available for sale at
December 31, 2022, compared to $245.4 million at December 31, 2021. The Company purchased $15.0
million in mortgage-backed securities in 2022 and $188.8 million were purchased in 2021.

At December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any non-agency mortgage-backed or related securities
in excess of 10% of its stockholders' equity.
Mortgage-backed and related securities can serve as collateral for borrowings and, through sales and
repayments, as a source of liquidity. In addition, mortgage-backed and related securities available for sale
can be sold to respond to changes in economic conditions.
Sources of Funds
General. The Bank's primary sources of funds are retail, commercial, Internet and brokered deposits,
payments of loan principal, interest earned on loans and securities, repayments and maturities of
securities, borrowings and other funds provided from operations.
Deposits. The Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts to retail and commercial clients having a wide
range of interest rates and terms. The Bank's deposits consist of savings, interest bearing checking, non-
interest bearing checking, money market and certificate accounts (including individual retirement
18
accounts). The Bank relies primarily on competitive pricing policies and client service to attract and retain
these deposits.
The variety of deposit accounts offered by the Bank has allowed it to be competitive in obtaining funds
and to respond with flexibility to changes in consumer demand. As clients become more interest rate
conscious, the Bank may become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows. The Bank
manages the pricing of its deposits in keeping with its asset/liability management, profitability and growth
objectives. Based on its experience, the Bank believes that its savings and checking accounts are
relatively stable sources of deposits. However, the ability of the Bank to attract and maintain certificates
of deposit and money market accounts, and the rates paid on these deposits, has been and will continue to
be significantly affected by market conditions. The increase in deposits in 2022 related primarily to the
$45.8 million increase in certificates of deposit and the $8.3 million increase in savings and money
market accounts between the periods. These increases were partially offset by the $22.8 million decrease
in retail and commercial checking accounts between the periods.

(2) Estimated amount of uninsured deposits based on customer relationships.
For additional information regarding the composition of the Bank's deposits, see “Note 11 Deposits” in
Item 8 Part II in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. For
additional information on certificate maturities and the impact on the Company's liquidity see
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity
and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Borrowings. The Bank's other available sources of funds include advances from the FHLB and
borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. As a member of the FHLB of Des Moines,
the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB and is authorized to apply for advances. Each
FHLB credit program has its own interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, and range of maturities.
The FHLB may prescribe the acceptable uses for these advances, as well as limitations on the size of the
advances and repayment provisions. Consistent with its asset/liability management strategy, the Bank has
utilized FHLB advances from time to time to fund loan growth and extend the term to maturity of its
liabilities. The Bank may also use short-term FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank borrowings to offset short
term cash needs due to deposit outflows or loan fundings. At December 31, 2022, the Bank had no FHLB
advances or Federal Reserve Bank borrowings outstanding. On such date, the Bank had a collateral
pledge arrangement with the FHLB pursuant to which the Bank could borrow up to $230.1 million for
liquidity purposes, subject to approval from the FHLB. The Bank also had the ability to borrow $86.6
million from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis based upon the loans that were pledged to it as
collateral at December 31, 2022.
Refer to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -
Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 7 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and “Note 12
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Advances and Other Borrowings” in Item 8 of Part II in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on FHLB
advances and other borrowings.
Service Corporations of the Bank
As a federally-chartered savings bank, the Bank is permitted by OCC regulations to invest up to 2% of its
assets in the stock of, or loans to, service corporation subsidiaries, and may invest an additional 1% of its
assets in service corporations where these additional funds are used for inner-city or community
development purposes. In addition to investments in service corporations, federal institutions are
permitted to invest an unlimited amount in operating subsidiaries engaged solely in activities in which a
federal savings bank may engage directly.
20
OIA is one of two subsidiaries of the Bank. OIA is a Minnesota corporation that was organized in 1983
and operated as an insurance agency until 1986 when its assets were sold. OIA remained inactive until
1993 when it began offering credit life insurance, annuity and mutual fund products to the Bank's clients
and others. OIA currently offers a variety of financial planning products and services. HPH is the Bank’s
other subsidiary and was organized as a limited liability company in Minnesota in 2013. It was inactive in
2022 but has operated as an intermediary for the Bank in holding and operating certain foreclosed
properties.
Competition
The Bank faces strong competition both in originating real estate, commercial and consumer loans and in
attracting deposits. Competition in originating loans comes primarily from mortgage bankers, commercial
banks, credit unions and other savings institutions which have offices in the Bank's market area and those
that operate through Internet banking operations throughout the United States. The Bank competes for
loans principally on the basis of the interest rates and loan fees it charges, the types of loans it originates
and the quality of services it provides to borrowers.
Competition for deposits is principally from mutual funds, securities firms, commercial banks, credit
unions and other savings institutions located in the same communities and those that operate through
Internet banking operations throughout the United States. The ability of the Bank to attract and retain
deposits depends on its ability to provide an investment opportunity that satisfies the requirements of
investors as to rate of return, liquidity, risk, convenience and other factors. The Bank competes for these
deposits by offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, convenient business hours and a
client-oriented staff.
Other Corporations Owned by the Company
The Bank was HMN’s sole direct subsidiary at December 31, 2022.
Employees
At December 31, 2022, the Company had 164 full time employees. None of the employees of the
Company are represented by any collective bargaining unit. Management considers its employee
relations to be good.
Regulation and Supervision
The banking industry is highly regulated. As a savings and loan holding company (SLHC), HMN is
subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
Bank (FRB). The Bank, a federally-chartered savings association, is also subject to regulation,
supervision and examination by the OCC, which is the Bank’s primary federal regulator. The FDIC also
has authority to regulate the Bank. Subsidiaries of HMN and the Bank may also be subject to state
regulation and/or licensing in connection with certain insurance and investment activities. The Company
is subject to numerous laws and regulations. These laws and regulations impose restrictions on activities,
set minimum capital requirements, impose lending and deposit restrictions and establish other restrictions.
References in this section to applicable statutes and regulations are brief and incomplete summaries only.
The Company recommends consulting the statutes, regulations and related policies and interpretive
guidance for a full understanding of the details of their operation. Changes in statutes, regulations or
regulatory policies applicable to the Company, including interpretation or implementation thereof, could
have a material effect on the Company’s business.
21
Holding Company Regulation. As a savings and loan holding company, HMN is subject to regulation
and supervision by the FRB. FRB regulations require holding companies to act as a source of strength to
their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of
financial stress.
Acquisitions by Savings and Loan Holding Companies. Acquisition of a savings association or a savings
and loan holding company is generally subject to FRB approval and the public must have an opportunity
to comment on the proposed acquisition. Without prior approval from the FRB, HMN may not acquire,
directly or indirectly, control of another savings association.
Examination and Reporting. Under the Home Owners’ Loan Act and FRB regulations, HMN, as a SLHC,
must file periodic reports with the FRB. In addition, HMN must comply with FRB record keeping
requirements and is subject to holding company supervision and examination by the FRB. The FRB may
take enforcement action if the activities of a SLHC constitute a risk to the financial safety, soundness or
stability of a subsidiary savings association.
Affiliate Transactions. The Bank, as a holding company subsidiary that is a depository institution, is
subject to both qualitative and quantitative limitations on transactions with the Company. See the section
“Bank Regulation - Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders”.
Capital Adequacy. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements; however, the Company
meets certain exemption requirements pursuant the FRB’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy
Statement, and therefore, is exempt from the consolidated capital requirements.
Dividends. Federal law limits the ability of a savings and loan holding company, such as HMN, to pay
dividends or make other capital distributions. FRB guidance applicable to holding companies sets out
factors that should be taken into account when considering dividends or distributions, including, among
other things, current and prospective earnings and liquidity, and the holding company’s ability to serve as
an ongoing source of financial and managerial strength to insured depository institution subsidiaries such
as the Bank.
Bank Regulation. As a federally-chartered savings association, the Bank is subject to regulation and
supervision by the OCC. Federal law authorizes the Bank, as a federal savings association, to conduct,
subject to various conditions and limitations, business activities that include: accepting deposits and
paying interest on them; making and buying loans secured by residential and other real estate; making
consumer loans; making commercial loans; investing in corporate obligations, government debt
securities, and other securities; and offering various banking, trust, securities and insurance agency
services to its clients.
Savings associations are expected to conduct lending activities in a prudent, safe and sound manner. The
OCC regulates the safety and soundness of the Bank by enforcing statutory limits on the Bank’s lending
and investment powers. OCC regulations set aggregate limits on certain types of loans including
commercial business, commercial real estate and consumer loans. OCC regulations also establish limits
on loans to a single borrower. As of December 31, 2022, the Bank’s lending limit to one borrower was
approximately $16.2 million.
A federal savings association generally may not invest in noninvestment-grade debt securities. A federal
savings association may establish subsidiaries to conduct any activity the association is authorized to
conduct and may establish service corporation subsidiaries for limited preapproved activities.
22
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. Savings associations, including the Bank, must be qualified thrift lenders
(QTLs). A savings association generally satisfies the QTL requirement if at least 65% of a specified asset
base consists of assets such as loans to small businesses and loans to purchase or improve domestic
residential real estate. Savings associations may qualify as QTLs in other ways. Savings associations that
do not qualify as QTLs are subject to significant restrictions on their operations. If the Bank fails to meet
QTL requirements, the Company would face certain limitations, including potential enforcement action
by the OCC and a statutory bar to the payment by the Bank of dividends except under prescribed
conditions including approval by the OCC. As of December 31, 2022, the Bank met the QTL test.
OCC Assessments. The OCC is authorized by statute to charge assessments to cover the costs of
examining the financial institutions it regulates and to fund its operations. The Bank’s OCC assessments
for the year ended December 31, 2022 were approximately $0.2 million. The FRB does not currently
assess HMN for examination fees.
Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders. Savings associations, like banks, are subject to affiliate and
insider transaction restrictions. The restrictions prohibit or limit a savings association from extending
credit to, or entering into certain covered transactions with, affiliates, principal stockholders, directors and
executive officers of the savings association and its affiliates. The term “affiliate” generally includes a
holding company, such as HMN, and any company under common control with the savings association.
Federal law limits covered transactions between the Bank and any one affiliate to 10% of the Bank’s
capital and surplus and with all affiliates in the aggregate to 20%. In addition, the federal law governing
unitary savings and loan holding companies prohibits the Bank from making any loan to any affiliate
whose activity is not permitted for a subsidiary of a bank holding company. This law also prohibits the
Bank from making any equity investment in any affiliate that is not its subsidiary. The Bank is currently
in compliance with these requirements. Covered transactions also include derivatives and the borrowing
and lending of securities, and repurchase agreements with affiliates are subject to collateralization
requirements.
Dividend Restrictions. Federal law limits the ability of a depository institution, such as the Bank, to pay
dividends or make other capital distributions. The Bank, as a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding
company, must file a notice with the FRB before payment of a dividend or approval of a proposed capital
distribution by its board of directors and must obtain prior approval from the FRB if it fails to meet
certain regulatory conditions.
During 2022, the Bank paid dividends to HMN of $6.0 million, which were used to fund the ongoing
operating expenses of the Company, purchase treasury stock, pay dividends, and improve its cash
position. The improved cash position will potentially allow the Company to make a capital contribution
into the Bank should the Bank need additional capital to support its operations. HMN distributed $1.0
million in dividends to its common shareholders in 2022. In January 2023, the Company’s Board of
Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock. See the “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Dividends” section of Part II,
Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the dividend that was declared in the
first quarter of 2023.
Deposit Insurance. The FDIC insures the deposits of the Bank through the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF).
The DIF is funded by assessments of FDIC members such as the Bank. The FDIC applies a risk-based
system for setting deposit insurance assessments. Under the risk-based assessment system, an institution’s
insurance assessments vary according to the level of capital the institution holds and the degree to which
it is the subject of supervisory concern. During 2022, the Bank was assessed approximately $0.3 million
for the DIF.
23
Capital Requirements and Prompt Corrective Action Requirements. The Bank is subject to various
regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) established five capital
categories: 1) well-capitalized; 2) adequately capitalized; 3) undercapitalized; 4) significantly
undercapitalized; and 5) critically undercapitalized. The activities in which a depository institution may
engage and regulatory responsibilities of federal bank regulatory agencies vary depending upon whether
an institution is well-capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized. Undercapitalized institutions
are subject to various restrictions such as limitations on dividends and growth. A depository institution’s
prompt corrective action capital category depends upon where its capital levels are in relation to relevant
capital measures, which include risk-based capital measures and certain other factors.
Under applicable banking regulations, the failure to comply with capital rules or other applicable
requirements as they arise, could subject HMN, the Bank and their directors and officers to such
restrictions, legal actions or sanctions as the FRB or the OCC considers appropriate. Possible sanctions
include, among others, (i) the imposition of one or more cease and desist orders requiring corrective
action, which are enforceable directives that may address any aspect of the Company’s management,
operations or capital, including requirements to change management, raise equity capital, dispose of
assets or effect a change of control; (ii) civil money penalties; and (iii) downgrades in the capital
adequacy status of the Bank. These regulatory actions may significantly restrict the ability of the
Company to take operating and strategic actions that may be in the best interests of stockholders or
compel the Company to take operating and strategic actions that are not potentially in the best interests of
stockholders.
See “Note 17 Regulatory Capital” in Item 8 of Part II in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on Regulatory Capital.
Other Regulations and Examination Authority. The FDIC has adopted regulations to protect the DIF and
depositors, including regulations governing the deposit insurance of various forms of accounts. Federal
regulation of depository institutions is intended for the protection of depositors, and not for the protection
of stockholders or other creditors. In addition, federal law requires that in any liquidation or other
resolution of any FDIC-insured depository institution, claims for administrative expenses of the receiver
and for deposits in U.S. branches (including claims of the FDIC as subrogee of the insured institution)
shall have priority over the claims of general unsecured creditors.
The OCC may sanction any OCC-regulated bank that does not operate in accordance with OCC
regulations, policies and directives. The FDIC has additional authority to terminate insurance of accounts,
after a notice and hearing, upon a finding that the insured institution is or has engaged in any unsafe or
unsound practice that has not been corrected, is operating in an unsafe or unsound condition, or has
violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, or order of or condition imposed by the FDIC.
FHLB System. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which is one of the 11 regional
Federal Home Loan Banks (FHBs). The primary purpose of the FHBs is to provide funding to their
financial institution members in support of the home financing credit function of the members. Each FHB
serves as a reserve or central bank for its members within its assigned region. FHBs are funded primarily
from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. FHBs make loans
or advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures established by the board of directors
of the FHB. These policies and procedures are subject to the regulation and oversight of the Federal
Housing Financing Board. All advances from a FHB are required to be fully secured by sufficient
collateral as determined by the FHB. Long-term advances are required to be used for residential home
financing and small business and agricultural loans.
24
As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB of Des Moines. As of
December 31, 2022, the Bank had $1.3 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this
requirement. The Bank receives dividends on its FHLB stock. The FHLB’s dividend philosophy is to
differentiate dividend rates between membership and activity-based capital stock. Based on the FHLB’s
most recent quarterly filing on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the effective
dividend rates paid on these subclasses of its capital stock at September 30, 2022 were 3.00% and 7.25%,
respectively.
Other Regulation. Numerous other regulations promulgated by the FRB, the OCC, the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and other agencies and other governmental authorities affect the
business operations of the Bank. These include but are not limited to regulations relating to privacy, equal
credit access, mortgage lending and foreclosure practices, electronic fund transfers, collection of checks,
lending and savings disclosures and availability of funds. The CFPB has broad authority to develop new
rules and interpretations with respect to consumer financial products and services, even though its
examination and enforcement authority currently do not extend to the Bank.
Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requires financial institutions
regulated by the federal financial supervisory agencies to ascertain and help meet the credit needs of their
delineated communities, including low to moderate income neighborhoods within those communities,
while maintaining safe and sound banking practices. The regulatory agency assigns one of four possible
ratings to an institution’s CRA performance and is required to make public an institution’s rating and
written evaluation. The four possible ratings of meeting community credit needs are outstanding,
satisfactory, needs improvement and substantial non-compliance. Under regulations that apply to all
current CRA performance evaluations, many factors play a role in assessing a financial institution’s CRA
performance. The institution’s regulator must consider its financial capacity and size, legal impediments,
local economic conditions and demographics, including the competitive environment in which it operates.
The evaluation does not rely on absolute standards, and the institutions are not required to perform
specific activities or to provide specific amounts or types of credit. The Bank maintains a CRA statement
for public viewing, as well as an annual CRA highlights document. These documents describe the Bank’s
credit programs and services, community outreach activities, public comments and other efforts to meet
community credit needs. The Bank’s last CRA exam was January 27, 2020 and the Bank received an
“outstanding” rating under the Intermediate Small Savings Association criteria.
Bank Secrecy Act. The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requires financial institutions to verify the identity of
clients, keep records and file reports that are determined to have a high degree of usefulness in criminal,
tax and regulatory matters, and to implement anti-money laundering programs and compliance
procedures. The impact on Bank operations from the BSA depends on the types of clients served by the
Bank.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Like all financial companies, the Company’s business and results of operations are subject to a number of
risks, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. In addition to the other information in this
report, readers should carefully consider that the following important factors, among others, could
materially impact the Company’s business and future results of operations.
Risks Related to our Business
Regional economic changes in the Company’s markets have in the past adversely impacted, and may in
the future adversely impact, results from operations.
Like all financial institutions, the Company is subject to the effects of any economic downturn, and in
particular a significant decline in home values and reduced commercial development in the Company’s
markets has had a negative effect on results of operations in the past. The Company’s success depends
primarily on the general economic conditions in the counties in which the Company conducts business,
and in the southern Minnesota, northern Iowa and eastern Wisconsin areas in general. Unlike larger
financial institutions that are more geographically diversified, the Company provides banking and
financial services to clients primarily in the Minnesota counties of Dakota, Dodge, Fillmore, Freeborn,
Houston, Mower, Olmsted, Steele, and Winona and portions of Goodhue and Wabasha counties, as well
as Marshall county in Iowa. The Bank also offers banking services to the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area
through a branch location in Waukesha County in Wisconsin. The local economic conditions in these
market areas have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to originate loans, the ability of the
borrowers to repay these loans, and the value of the collateral securing these loans. A significant decline
in the general economic conditions caused by inflation, recession, unemployment or other factors beyond
the Company’s control can affect, and has in the past affected, these local economic conditions and can
adversely affect, and has in the past adversely affected, the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations. The Company has a significant amount of commercial business and commercial real estate
loans and decreases in tenant occupancy and development home sales can have, and in the past have had,
a negative effect on the ability of many of the Company’s borrowers to make timely repayments of their
loans and the value of the collateral held as security for these loans, which can have, and in the past has
had, an adverse impact on the Company’s earnings.
During 2022, the U.S. economy continued to perform reasonably well despite the negative impact of
rising interest rates and inflation. However, there are continuing concerns related to a potential slowdown
in economic activity as the Federal Open Market Committee continues to raise the federal funds rate in an
effort to reduce inflation and their effects on the financial markets and economic activity. There can be no
assurance that current economic conditions will continue or improve, and economic conditions could
worsen. Economic pressure on consumers and uncertainty regarding continuing economic improvement
may result in changes in consumer and business spending, borrowing and saving habits. A return of
recessionary conditions and/or other negative developments in the domestic or international credit
markets may significantly affect the markets in which we do business, the value of our loans and
investments, and our ongoing operations, costs and profitability. Declines in real estate value and sales
volumes and high unemployment may also result in higher than expected loan delinquencies and a decline
in demand for our products and services. These negative events may cause us to incur losses and may
adversely affect our capital, liquidity and financial condition.
26
The Bank may not be able to meet its cash flow needs on a timely basis at a reasonable cost, and its
cost of funds for banking operations may significantly increase as a result of general economic
conditions, interest rates and competitive pressures. HMN, on an unconsolidated basis, has limited
capital resources and liquidity to assist the Bank with its liquidity and capital requirements.
Liquidity is the ability to meet cash flow needs on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. The liquidity of
the Bank is used to pay expenses, make loans and to repay deposit and borrowing liabilities as they
become due or are demanded by clients and creditors. Many factors affect the Bank’s ability to meet
liquidity needs, including variations in the markets served by its network of offices, its composition of
assets and liabilities, reputation and standing in the marketplace and general economic conditions.
The Bank’s primary source of funding is retail and commercial deposits gathered through its network of
fourteen banking offices. Wholesale funding sources principally consist of borrowing lines from the
FHLB of Des Moines and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and brokered and internet certificates
of deposit obtained from the national market. Borrowings from the FHLB are subject to the FHLB’s
credit policies and procedures relating to the valuation of the loans securing advances as well as the
amount of funds the FHLB will loan to the Bank. The current collateral pledged to secure advances may
become unacceptable, the formulas for determining the excess pledged collateral may change or the
Bank’s credit rating with the FHLB could decrease. In these cases, the Bank may not have sufficient
collateral to pledge or have the borrowing capacity to meet its funding needs and may be required to rely
upon alternate funding sources, such as the Federal Reserve Bank, which typically bear higher borrowing
costs. The Bank’s securities and loan portfolios could also be pledged to the FHLB and Federal Reserve
Bank to increase the amount of available borrowings.
Significant changes in general economic conditions, market interest rates, competitive pressures or
otherwise, could cause the Bank’s deposits to decrease relative to overall banking operations, and it
would have to rely more heavily on brokered and Internet deposits or borrowings in the future, which are
typically more expensive than retail deposits.
The Bank actively manages its liquidity position and monitors it using cash flow forecasts. Changes in
economic conditions, including consumer savings habits and availability or access to borrowed funds and
the brokered and Internet deposit markets could potentially have a significant impact on the Company’s
liquidity position, which in turn could materially impact its financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
HMN’s primary source of cash is dividends from the Bank, and the Bank is restricted from paying
dividends to HMN unless certain conditions are met under bank regulatory requirements. At December
31, 2022, HMN had $15.3 million in cash balances. Primarily, HMN requires cash for the payment of
holding company level expenses, including director and management fees, legal expenses and regulatory
costs. HMN may also use cash for the repurchase of outstanding HMN stock and the payment of
dividends. HMN does not anticipate that it will have, on an ongoing long term stand-alone basis,
adequate liquid resources to make all of the required cash payments for these items in the future. To meet
these payment requirements or other potential HMN liquidity or capital needs would require dividends
from the Bank or external capital. Failure to meet regulatory requirements for any future dividends from
the Bank to HMN, or to receive dividends in amounts deemed satisfactory by HMN, could cause HMN to
require other sources of liquidity for its needs in 2023 and beyond. Further information about HMN’s
liquidity position is available in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” section in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.
27
Changes in interest rates could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations.
The earnings of the Company are primarily dependent on net interest income, which is the difference
between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as
deposits and borrowings. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including government
monetary and fiscal policies and domestic and international economic and political conditions. Conditions
such as inflation, recession, unemployment, money supply, government borrowing and other factors
beyond management’s control may also affect interest rates. If the Company’s interest-earning assets
mature, reprice or prepay more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities in a given period, a decrease in
market interest rates could adversely affect net interest income. Likewise, if interest-bearing liabilities
mature or reprice, or, in the case of deposits, are withdrawn by the accountholder, more quickly than
interest-earning assets in a given period, an increase in market interest rates could adversely affect net
interest income. Given the Company’s assets and liability composition as of December 31, 2022, a falling
interest rate environment would negatively impact the Company’s results of operations. The effect on our
deposits of decreases in interest rates generally lags the effect on our assets. The lagging effect of deposit
rate changes is primarily due to the Bank’s deposits that are in the form of certificates of deposit, which
do not re-price immediately when the federal funds rate changes.
Fixed rate loans increase the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk in a rising rate environment because
interest-bearing liabilities would be subject to repricing before assets become subject to repricing.
Adjustable rate loans decrease the risks to a lender associated with changes in interest rates but involve
other risks. As interest rates rise, the payment by the borrower rises to the extent permitted by the terms of
the loan, and the increased payment increases the potential for default. At the same time, for secured
loans, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. In
a declining interest rate environment, there is likely to be an increase in prepayment activity on loans as
the borrowers refinance their loans at lower interest rates. Under these circumstances, the Company’s
results of operations could be negatively impacted.
Changes in interest rates also can affect the value of loans, investments and other interest-rate sensitive
assets including mortgage servicing rights, and the Company’s ability to realize gains on the sale or
resolution of assets. This type of income can vary significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year
based on a number of different factors, including the interest rate environment. An increase in interest
rates that adversely affects the ability of borrowers to pay the principal or interest on loans may lead to an
increase in non-performing assets and increased loan loss reserve requirements that could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.
Changes in interest rates could continue to negatively impact the fair market value of our available for
sale securities portfolio.
The fair market value of our fixed rate available for sale securities portfolio has been negatively impacted
during the past year due to an increase in market interest rates. The result has been that the Company has
recorded a $19.8 million other comprehensive loss (OCL) in equity as of December 31, 2022. Future
increases in long term interest rates will continue to have a negative effect on the fair market value of our
fixed rate securities portfolio and increases in OCL may occur in future periods. Furthermore, if we are
forced to liquidate any of these investments prior to maturity, including because of a lack of liquidity, we
would recognize as a charge to earnings the losses attributable to those securities.
Strong competition within the Company’s market area may limit profitability or generate losses.
The Company faces significant competition both in attracting deposits and in the origination of loans.
Mortgage bankers, commercial banks, credit unions and other savings institutions, which have offices in
28
the Bank’s market area have historically provided most of the Company’s competition for deposits and
loans; however, the Company also competes with financial institutions that operate through Internet
banking operations throughout the United States. In addition, the Company faces additional and
significant competition for funds from money market and mutual funds, and securities firms located in the
same communities and those that operate through Internet banking operations throughout the United
States. Many competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than the Company.
Finally, credit unions do not pay federal or state income taxes and are subject to fewer regulatory
constraints than savings banks and as a result, they may enjoy a competitive advantage over the
Company. The Bank competes for loans principally on the basis of the interest rates and loan fees it
charges, the types of loans it originates and the quality of services it provides to borrowers. This
competitive strategy places significant competitive pressure on the prices of loans and deposits.
Loss of large checking and money market deposit clients could increase cost of funds and have a
negative effect on results of operations.
The Company has a number of large deposit clients that maintain balances in checking and money market
accounts at the Bank. At December 31, 2022, there was $134.2 million in checking and money market
accounts of clients in the alternative energy and other industries that have individual relationship balances
greater than $5 million. The ability to attract and retain these types of deposits has a positive effect on the
Company’s net interest margin as they provide a relatively low cost of funds to the Company compared to
certificates of deposits or advances. If these depositors were to withdraw these funds and the Bank was
not able to replace them with similar types of deposits, the Banks cost of funds would increase and the
Company’s results of operation would be negatively impacted.
Because of the asset size of the Company, adverse performance affecting a few large loans or lending
relationships can cause significant volatility in earnings.
Due to the Company’s asset size, the provision for loan losses or charge-offs associated with individual
loans can be large relative to the Company’s earnings for a particular period. If one or a few relatively
large loans become non-performing in a period and the Company is required to increase its loss reserves,
or to write off principal or interest relative to such loans, the operating results for that period could be
significantly adversely affected. The effect on results of operations for any given period from a change in
the performance of a small number of loans may be disproportionately larger than the impact of such
loans on the quality of the Company’s overall loan portfolio. The Company generally limits its internal
loan originations to loans less than $7.5 million with loans over that amount approved by its Executive
Loan Committee. The Company’s regulatory lending limit was $16.2 million at December 31, 2022. The
Bank’s largest borrowing relationship had outstanding loans totaling $15.1 million and was performing at
December 31, 2022.
The Company has concentrations in commercial business and commercial real estate loans, increasing
the risk in its loan portfolio.
In order to enhance the yield and shorten the term-to-maturity of its loan portfolio, the Company
continues to maintain the balances of its commercial business and commercial real estate portfolios.
These categories of loans represented approximately 68% of the total loans receivable at December 31,
2022. Some of the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio is in land development loans, while many
of the Company’s commercial business loans are made to borrowers associated with the real estate
industry. Commercial business and commercial real estate loans generally, and land development loans in
particular, present a higher level of risk than loans secured by single family residences. This greater risk is
due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and
29
borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income producing properties and the increased
difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans.
Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is typically dependent upon the
successful operation of the related real estate project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for
example, if leases are not obtained or renewed or properties intended for resale are not developed and
sold), the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the underlying collateral may be impaired. Commercial
business loans to businesses that are dependent on the cash flow generated by the sale or leasing of real
estate are similarly impacted. At December 31, 2022, the Company had $1.9 million of non-performing
loans, of which $0.5 million related to commercial business and commercial real estate loans. At
December 31, 2022, total classified loans included $34.4 million of commercial business and commercial
real estate loans. The Company may experience actual losses in respect of these classified loans and
further increases in the level of classified loans in our loan portfolio that may require further increases in
our provision for loan losses.
Our allowance for loan losses may prove to be insufficient to absorb losses or appropriately reflect, at
any given time, the inherent risk of loss in our loan portfolio.
Our non-performing assets were at $1.9 million, or 0.17% of total assets, at December 31, 2022.
Classified loans at December 31, 2022 were $37.9 million, or 4.8% of total loans. Classified loans
represent special mention, performing substandard and non-performing loans. The low level of our
classified loans is primarily due to the current economic environment. If the favorable economic
environment does not continue these assets may not perform according to their terms and the value of the
collateral may be insufficient to pay any remaining loan balance. If this occurs, we may experience losses
or an increased risk of loss in our loan portfolio, which could have a negative effect on our results of
operations. Like all financial institutions, we maintain an allowance for loan losses to provide for loans in
our portfolio that may not be repaid in their entirety. Our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient
to cover actual loan losses or the inherent risk of loss in our loan portfolio, and future provision for loan
losses could materially adversely affect our operating results.
In evaluating the appropriateness of our allowance for loan losses, we consider numerous factors,
including but not limited to, specific occurrences of loan impairment, our historical charge-off experience,
actual and anticipated changes in the size of the portfolios, national, regional and local economic
conditions such as unemployment data, loan delinquencies, demand for single family homes, demand for
commercial real estate and building lots, loan portfolio composition and observations made by the
Company's ongoing internal audit and regulatory exam processes. In addition, we use information about
specific borrower situations, including their financial position and estimated collateral values, to estimate
the risk and amount of loss for those borrowers. Our estimates of the risk of loss and amount of loss on
any loan are complicated by the significant uncertainties surrounding our borrowers’ abilities to
successfully execute their business models through changing economic environments, competitive
challenges and other factors. Because of the degree of uncertainty and susceptibility of these factors to
change, our actual losses and estimates of risk of loss inherent in our loan portfolio have varied and are
likely to continue to vary from our current estimates. Such variances may materially and adversely affect
our financial condition and results of operations.
Federal regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for
loan losses and may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses by recognizing additional
provisions for loan losses charged to expense, or to decrease our allowance for loan losses by recognizing
loan charge-offs. Any such additional provisions for loan losses or charge-offs, as required by these
regulatory agencies, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.
30
Our capital may not be adequate to meet all our needs and requirements in the future and we may need
to take steps to meet our capital needs. These actions may reduce our base of earning assets and core
deposits and may dilute our shareholders or result in a change of control of the Company. There can
be no assurance that we will satisfactorily meet our required future capital needs.
We are required by federal regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our
operations and protect depositors of the Bank. Depending upon the operating performance of the Bank
and our other liquidity and capital needs, we may find it prudent, subject to prevailing market conditions
and other factors, to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common
stock or other equity securities. Additional capital would potentially allow the Bank to grow its assets
more aggressively. Depending on circumstances, if we were to raise capital, we may deploy it to the Bank
for general banking purposes, or may retain some or all of such capital for use by the Company.
If the Company were to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of common stock or other
equity securities, it would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders, dilute the Company’s
earnings per share and could result in a change in control of the Company and the Bank. New investors
may also have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our current stockholders which may adversely
impact our current stockholders. Our ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity
securities, if deemed prudent, would depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are
outside of our control, and on our financial performance. A significant investment by a person or group
may also necessitate an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, which would require stockholder
approval. Accordingly, we may not be able to raise additional capital, if needed, on favorable economic
terms or other terms acceptable to us.
We may decide to grow our business through acquisitions, which may disrupt or harm our business
and dilute stockholder value.
The Company continues to regularly monitor acquisition opportunities and from time to time conducts
due diligence activities related to possible transactions with banks and other financial institutions.
Negotiations may take place and future acquisitions may occur at any time. Our ability to grow through
acquisitions will depend, in part, on the availability of suitable acquisition targets at acceptable prices,
terms and conditions; our ability to compete effectively for these acquisition candidates; and the
availability of capital and personnel to complete such acquisitions and run the acquired business
effectively. These risks could be heightened if we complete a large acquisition or multiple acquisitions
within a relatively short period of time.
The benefits of an acquisition may take more time than expected to develop or integrate into our
operations and we cannot guarantee that any acquisition will ultimately produce any benefits. Acquiring
other banks, businesses, or branches involves various risks, such as potential disruption of the Company’s
business, including diversion of management’s attention; difficulty in valuing the target company;
potential exposure to undisclosed, contingent, or other liabilities or problems, unanticipated costs
associated with an acquisition, and an inability to recover or manage such liabilities and costs; exposure
to potential asset quality issues of the target company; volatility in reported income as goodwill and other
impairment losses could occur irregularly and in varying amounts; difficulty and expense of integrating
the operations and personnel of the target company or in realizing projected efficiencies, revenue
increases, cost savings, increased market presence, or other projected benefits; potential loss of key
employees or clients of the Company or the target company; dilution to existing stockholders if securities
are issued as part of transaction consideration or to fund transaction consideration; and potential changes
in banking or tax laws or regulations that may affect the target company. Any of the foregoing factors
could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
31
Risks related to the Regulation of Our Industry
The Company operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in
federal and state laws and regulations.
The Company is and will continue to be subject to extensive examination, supervision and comprehensive
regulation by federal bank regulatory agencies. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect
depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds, and the banking system and the financial system as a
whole, and not holders of our common stock. These regulations affect our lending practices, capital
structure, investment practices, dividend policy, and growth, among other things. See Item 1 “Business –
Regulation and Supervision” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding regulation
affecting the Company.
Changes in the regulatory landscape may significantly impact the profitability of business activities,
require material changes to certain business practices, impose more stringent capital, liquidity and
leverage requirements or otherwise adversely affect our business.
The FRB assesses the condition, performance and activities of savings and loan holding companies in a
manner that is consistent with its established risk-based approach regarding bank holding company
supervision to ensure that savings and loan holding companies are effectively supervised and can serve as
a source of strength for, and do not threaten the soundness of, subsidiary depository institutions such as
the Bank.
The CFPB has broad authority to develop new rules and interpretations with respect to consumer financial
products and services even though its examination and enforcement authority do not currently extend to
the Bank.
Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for
possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies, including changes in
interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations, or policies, could affect us in substantial and
unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services
and products we may offer, restrict mergers and acquisitions, investments, access to capital, the location
of banking offices, or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products,
among other things. Failure, or alleged failure, to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in
sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil or criminal penalties or money damages in connection with actions
or proceedings on behalf of regulators or consumers, and/or reputational damage, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we
have policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations and to reduce the likelihood of such
actions or proceedings, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur or that such actions
or proceedings will not be brought.
Changes to laws and regulations, including changes in interpretation or implementation, may also limit
the Bank’s flexibility on financial products and fees which could result in additional operational costs and
a reduction in our non-interest income.
Further, our regulators have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound
practices or violations of laws by financial institutions and holding companies in the performance of their
supervisory and enforcement duties. Examples include limits on payment of dividends by banks and
regulations governing compensation. Regulation of dividends may limit the liquidity of the Company and
restrictions on compensation may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain employees.
32
We are subject to the CRA and fair lending laws, and failure to comply with these laws could lead to
material penalties.
The CRA and fair lending laws and regulations impose nondiscriminatory lending requirements on
financial institutions. The Department of Justice, the CFPB and other federal agencies are responsible for
enforcing these laws and regulations. A successful challenge to an institution’s performance under the
CRA or fair lending laws and regulations could result in a wide variety of sanctions, including the
required payment of damages and civil money penalties, injunctive relief, imposition of restrictions on
mergers and acquisitions activity, and restrictions on expansion activity. Private parties may also have the
ability to challenge an institution’s performance under fair lending laws in private class action litigation.
The Bank has implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with such laws and
regulations, but any non-compliance could lead to regulatory actions that could result in material penalties
or sanctions.
The USA PATRIOT Act and Bank Secrecy Act may subject us to large fines for non-compliance.
The USA PATRIOT Act and the Bank Secrecy Act require financial institutions to develop programs to
prevent financial institutions from being used for money laundering and terrorist activities. If these
activities are detected, financial institutions are obligated to file suspicious activity reports with the U.S.
Treasury Department’s Office of Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. These rules require financial
institutions to establish procedures for identifying and verifying the identity of clients seeking to open
new financial accounts. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines or sanctions. In
recent years, several banking institutions have received large fines for non-compliance with these laws
and regulations. Although the Bank has developed policies and procedures designed to ensure
compliance, regulators may take enforcement action against the Bank in the event of non-compliance.
Technology and Cybersecurity Risks
The extended disruption or compromise of vital infrastructure, including the Company’s technology
systems, could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
The Company’s business depends on its ability to process, record and monitor a large number of
transactions. The Company’s technological and physical infrastructures, which include its financial,
accounting and other data processing systems, are vital to its operation. Extended disruption or
compromise of its vital infrastructure by fire, power loss, natural disaster, telecommunications failure,
computer hacking and viruses, terrorist activity or the domestic and foreign response to such activity, or
other events outside of the Company’s control, could cause the Company to suffer regulatory
consequences, reputational damage and financial losses, any of which could have a material adverse
effect either on the financial services industry as a whole, or on the Company’s business, financial
condition and results of operations.
The Company faces cybersecurity and other external data security risks that could adversely affect the
reputation of the Company and that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations.
The Company’s business is dependent upon the transmission and storage of confidential information in
digital technologies, computer and email systems, software and networks. The Company has security
systems in place and regularly monitors its computer systems and network infrastructure. The Company
does not believe that it has experienced a material cybersecurity breach, but it has experienced immaterial
threats to its data and systems, including computer virus and malware attacks and other attempted
unauthorized access to our systems. Cyber threats are rapidly evolving and the Company may not be able
33
to anticipate or prevent all future attacks. Other financial institutions have been, and continue to be, the
target of various evolving and adaptive cyber attacks, including malware and denial of service, as part of
an effort to disrupt the operations of financial institutions, potentially test their cybersecurity capabilities,
or obtain confidential, proprietary, or other information. As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, the
Company may incur increasing costs in an effort to minimize these risks. In addition, the Company could
be held liable for, and could suffer reputational damage as a result of, any security breach or loss, which
could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Third parties with which the Company does business or that facilitate its business activities, including
vendors and retailers, could also be sources of operational and information security risk to the Company.
There have been increasingly sophisticated and large-scale efforts on the part of third parties to breach
data security with respect to financial transactions, including intercepting account information at locations
where clients make purchases, as well as the use of social engineering schemes such as “phishing.” For
example, large retailers have reported data breaches resulting in the loss of client information. In the event
that third parties are able to misappropriate financial information of the Bank’s clients, even if such
breaches take place due to weaknesses in other parties' internal data security procedures, the Company
could suffer reputational or financial losses which could have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition and results of operations.
Risks related to our Common Stock
The price of our common stock has been volatile and could continue to fluctuate in the future.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market
ranged from $20.95 to $25.98 per share, and over the two-year period from January 1, 2021 to December
31, 2022 it ranged from $17.20 to $25.98. Our closing sale price on December 31, 2022 was $21.34 per
share and on February 9, 2023 it was $22.00 per share. Our stock generally trades in relatively low
volumes and its price may fluctuate in response to a number of events and factors, including, but not
limited to, variations in operating results, litigation or governmental and regulatory proceedings, market
perceptions of our financial reporting, changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities
analysts, the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem
comparable to us, and news reports relating to trends in our markets or general economic conditions.
We may issue additional stock, or reissue shares of treasury stock, without shareholder consent.
We have authorized 16,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2022, 9,128,662 shares
were issued and outstanding (including 4,647,686 shares that were held as treasury stock) and 6,871,338
shares were unissued. The Company has also granted options to purchase 34,229 shares of common stock
that are currently outstanding and has 332,005 shares that are available to be awarded pursuant to our
current equity incentive plans. The board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the
stockholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares and to reissue all of the treasury
shares. Additional shares may be issued, or treasury shares reissued, in connection with future financing,
acquisitions, employee stock plans or otherwise. Any such issuance, or reissuance, will dilute the
percentage ownership of existing stockholders. We are also currently authorized to issue up to 500,000
shares of preferred stock, however, as of December 31, 2022, there were no preferred stock shares issued
and outstanding. Under our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors can issue additional
preferred stock in one or more series and fix the terms of such stock without shareholder approval.
Preferred stock may include the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends
and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of preferred
stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and reduce the value of the
34
common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict
our ability to merge with or sell our assets to a third party.
Our ability to pay dividends on or repurchase our common stock is restricted.
We are a stock savings bank holding company and our operations are conducted primarily by the Bank.
Since we receive substantially all of our revenue from dividends from the Bank, our ability to pay
dividends on our common stock or repurchase common stock depends on our receipt of dividends from
the Bank. Dividend payments from the Bank are subject to legal and regulatory limitations. The ability of
the Bank to pay dividends to us is also subject to its profitability, financial condition, capital needs and
other cash flow requirements. There is no assurance that the Bank will be able to pay dividends to us in
the future or that we will be able to generate adequate cash flow to continue to pay dividends or
repurchase our common stock in the future. The inability to receive dividends from the Bank could have
an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as Delaware and federal law, may
discourage, delay or prevent an acquisition of control of us, even in situations that may be viewed as
desirable by our stockholders.
Provisions included in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of the Delaware
General Corporation Law and federal law (including banking regulations), may discourage, delay or
prevent potential acquisitions of control of us, particularly when attempted in a transaction that is not
negotiated directly with and approved by our board of directors, despite perceived short-term benefits to
our stockholders (such as an increase in the trading price of our common stock).
Specifically, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that:
• limit the voting power of shares held by a stockholder beneficially owning in excess of 10% of the
outstanding shares of our common stock;
• require that, with limited exceptions, business combinations between us and a stockholder
beneficially owning in excess of 10% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our stock
entitled to vote in the election of directors, be approved by at least 80% of the total number of our
outstanding voting shares;
• require that prior to acquiring publicly traded equity securities from a stockholder that owns 5% or
more of our publicly traded voting stock, with limited exception, holders of 80% or more of our
voting stock outstanding, other than shares held by the selling stockholder, must approve the
transaction;
• divide our board of directors, other than directors who may be elected by a class or series of
preferred stock, into three classes serving staggered three-year terms and provide that a director may
only be removed prior to the expiration of a term for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of
at least 80% of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote in an
election of directors;
• require that a special meeting of stockholders be called pursuant to a resolution adopted by a
majority of our board of directors;
• require advance notice of nominations of directors to be made, or business to be brought, by
35
stockholders at our annual meetings;
• authorize the issuance of preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences as may be
determined from time to time by our board of directors; and
• require that amendments to (i) our certificate of incorporation be approved by a two-thirds vote of
our board of directors and by a majority of the outstanding shares of our voting stock or, with respect
to the amendment of certain provisions (regarding, among other things, provisions relating to
number, classification, election and removal of directors, amendment of the bylaws, call of special
stockholder meetings, acquisitions of control, director liability, and certain business combinations),
by 80% of the outstanding shares of our voting stock, and (ii) our bylaws be approved by a majority
vote of our board of directors or the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the total votes eligible to be
voted at a duly constituted meeting of stockholders.
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which
prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an
“interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person
became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner.
For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction
resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an “interested stockholder” is a person
who, either alone or together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within the past three years, did own)
15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. For purposes of Section 203, “voting stock” means stock
of any class or series entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Furthermore, federal law
requires FRB or OCC approval prior to any direct or indirect acquisition of control (as defined in
regulations) of HMN or the Bank, respectively, including, with respect to the Bank, any indirect
acquisition of control through an acquisition of control of HMN.

Common Stock Information
The common stock of the Company is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) under the symbol
“HMNF.” As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 9,128,662 share of common stock issued and
outstanding (including 4,647,686 shares that were held as treasury stock), and there were 408
stockholders of record and 903 estimated beneficial owners of common stock.
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 regulatory
restrictions, tax considerations, industry standards, economic conditions, anticipated asset growth, general
business practices and other factors. The Company did not make any dividend payments to common
stockholders in 2021 and made four quarterly dividend payments of 6 cents per share that totaled $1.0
million during 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate the best use of the Company’s capital based
on the factors identified above.
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 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 and is subject to the
discretion of the Board of Directors of both the Bank and the Company. The payment of dividends
depends upon many factors, including the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, capital
requirements, regulatory and contractual restrictions, business strategy and other factors deemed relevant
by the Board of Directors.
In January 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of 6 cents per share of
common stock payable on March 8, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February
15, 2023. The declaration and amount of any future cash dividends remains subject to the sole discretion
of the Board of Directors.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included elsewhere
in this annual report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which are based on our
assumptions about the future of our business. Our actual results will likely differ materially from those
contained in the forward-looking statements. Please read the cautionary note under the heading
“Forward-Looking Statements” included at the beginning of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for
additional information.
Overview
HMN is the stock savings bank holding company for the Bank, which operates community banking and
loan production offices in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. The earnings of the Company are primarily
dependent on the Bank's net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and
investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and other borrowings.
The difference between the average rate of interest earned on assets and the average rate paid on liabilities
is the interest rate spread. Net interest income is produced when interest-earning assets equal or exceed
interest-bearing liabilities and there is a positive interest rate spread. Net interest income and net interest
rate spread are affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and composition of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. The Company's net earnings are
also affected by the generation of non-interest income, which consists primarily of gains from the sale of
loans, 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, data
processing costs, professional services, deposit insurance, amortization expense on mortgage servicing
assets, advertising expenses, 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
While our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial
statements, we believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting estimates, which
are those estimates made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that
involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a
material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The Company has identified the
following critical accounting estimates 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
38
portfolios, national, regional and local economic conditions such as unemployment data, loan
delinquencies, demand for single family homes, demand for commercial real estate and building lots, loan
portfolio composition, historical loss experience and observations made by the Company's ongoing
internal audit and regulatory exam processes. Loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be
uncollectible. The Company has established separate processes to determine the appropriateness of the
loan loss allowance for its homogeneous and non-homogeneous loan portfolios. The determination of the
allowance on the homogeneous single family and consumer loan portfolios is calculated on a pooled basis
with individual determination of the allowance for all non-performing loans. The determination of the
allowance for the non-homogeneous commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loan portfolios
involves assigning standardized risk ratings and loss factors that are periodically reviewed. The loss
factors are estimated based on the Company's own loss experience and other qualitative factors and are
assigned to all loans without identified credit 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 is typically based on the
appraised value of the property less estimated selling costs. The estimates are reviewed periodically and
any 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, the actual loss experience and other qualitative factors. 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 resulted in
an increase in the allowance and a charge to the loan loss provision. The methodology for establishing the
allowance for loan losses takes into consideration probable losses that have been identified in connection
with specific loans as well as losses in the loan portfolio that have not been specifically identified.
Although management believes that based on current conditions the allowance for loan losses is
maintained at an appropriate amount to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio as of the
balance sheet dates, future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining the
allowance for loan losses and adjustments may be required in the future.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors
including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal and
state income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting
basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and
interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
The Company maintains significant net deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, the two
largest relating to the net unrealized loss on securities available for sale and the allowance for loan losses.
39
For tax purposes, the net unrealized losses on securities available for sale are not recognized unless the
securities are sold and the loss becomes realized. For book purposes, the unrealized losses, net of income
taxes, are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. For the allowance for
loan losses, only the net charge-offs are deductible while the entire provision for loan losses is used to
determine book income. A deferred tax asset for both of these items is created because of the timing
difference of when the expense is recognized for book and tax purposes. Under GAAP, 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 that are
significantly different from those estimated.
Results of Operations
Comparison of 2022 with 2021
Net income was $8.0 million for 2022, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 40.7%, compared to net income of
$13.6 million for 2021. Diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $1.83, a
decrease of $1.18 per share, compared to diluted earnings per share of $3.01 for the year ended December
31, 2021. The decrease in net income between the periods was primarily because of a $4.2 million
decrease in the gain on sales of loans due to a decrease in mortgage loan originations and sales due
primarily to an increase in mortgage interest rates between the periods. The provision for loan losses
increased $3.2 million between the periods primarily because of the growth experienced in the loan
portfolio and also because of an increase in qualitative reserves due to the perceived negative impact on
borrower finances from inflation and rising interest rates. Net income was also negatively impacted by a
$1.3 million decrease in other non-interest income primarily because of a decrease in the gains that were
realized on the sale of real estate owned between the periods. Compensation and benefits expense
increased $1.1 million primarily because of a decrease in the direct loan origination compensation costs
that were deferred as a result of the decreased mortgage loan originations. These decreases in net income
were partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in income tax expense as a result of the decrease in pre-
tax income between the periods. Net interest income increased $2.1 million primarily due to an increase
in interest earning assets and the yields earned on those assets as a result of the increase in the prime
interest rate between the periods
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $32.3 million for 2022, an increase of $2.1 million, or 6.8%, from $30.2 million
for 2021. Interest income was $34.3 million for 2022, an increase of $2.5 million, or 7.9%, from $31.8
million for 2021. Interest income increased primarily because of the $78.7 million increase in the average
interest-earning assets between the periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was
3.33% for 2022, a decrease of 1 basis point from 3.34% for 2021. The decrease in the average yield was
primarily related to the $2.2 million decrease in the yield enhancements recognized on loans made under
40
the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) between the periods that was not entirely offset by the higher
rates earned on interest-earning assets as a result of the prime rate increases that occurred during 2022.
Interest expense was $2.0 million for 2022, an increase of $0.4 million, or 28.7%, from $1.6 million for
2021. Interest expense increased primarily because of the increase in the average interest rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. Interest expense also increased because of the $76.6
million increase in the average interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits between the
periods. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits
was 0.21% for 2022, an increase of 3 basis points from 0.18% for 2021. The increase in the average rate
paid was primarily related to the increase in market interest rates as a result of the 4.25% increase in the
federal funds rate between the periods. It is anticipated that the average interest rates paid on interest-
bearing liabilities will increase in 2023 because of an increase in the market rates for deposits as a result
of the increases in the federal funds rate that have and are expected to occur.
The following table presents the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning
assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities,
expressed both in dollars and rates. Non-accruing loans have been included in the average outstanding
loan balance in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for 2022 was 3.14%, a
decrease of 4 basis points, compared to 3.18% for 2021. The decrease in the net interest margin was
primarily because of the decrease in the average yield related to the $2.2 million decrease in the yield
enhancements recognized on PPP loans between the periods that was not entirely offset by the higher
rates earned on interest-earning assets as a result of the prime rate increases of 4.25% that occurred during
2022.
The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for
major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It quantifies the changes in
interest income and interest expense related to changes in the average outstanding balances (volume) and
those changes caused by fluctuating interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e.
changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e. changes in rate multiplied by
current volume).

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $1.1 million for 2022, an increase of $3.2 million from the ($2.1)
million credit provision for loan losses for 2021. The provision for loan losses increased between the
periods primarily because of the loan portfolio growth and also because of an increase in qualitative
reserves, during 2022, due to the perceived potential negative impact on borrowers from inflation and
rising interest rates. The credit provision recorded in 2021 was primarily the result of improvements in the
underlying operations supporting many of the loans that were initially negatively impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $8.9 million for 2022, a decrease of $5.4 million, or 37.7%, from $14.3 million
for the same period of 2021.

Gain on sales of loans decreased $4.2 million between the periods primarily because of a decrease in
single family loan originations and sales due to an increase in mortgage interest rates between the periods.
Other non-interest income decreased $1.3 million primarily because of a decrease in the gains that were
realized on the sale of real estate owned between the periods. These decreases were partially offset by a
$0.1 million increase in fees and service charges between the periods due primarily to an increase in
aggregate overdraft fees. Loan servicing fees increased slightly between the periods due to an increase in
the aggregate balances of single family mortgage loans that were being serviced for others.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $28.8 million for 2022, an increase of $1.1 million, or 4.1%, from $27.7 million

Compensation and benefits expense increased $1.1 million primarily because of a decrease in the direct

production between the periods. Data processing expenses increased $0.5 million between the periods
primarily because of the change to an outsourced data processing relationship at the end of the first
quarter of 2022. Other non-interest expense increased $0.2 million between the periods primarily because
of an increase in fraud losses on deposit accounts and increases in marketing expenses. These increases
in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in occupancy and equipment
expense due primarily to a decrease in rent expense between the periods as a result of purchasing the
combined corporate and branch location in Rochester, Minnesota in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Professional services expense decreased $0.1 million between the periods primarily because of a decrease
in legal expenses relating to a bankruptcy litigation claim that was settled during the first quarter of 2022.
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 $3.2 million for 2022, a decrease of
$2.2 million from $5.4 million for 2021. The decrease in income tax expense between the periods was
primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax income.

The growth in the loan portfolio in 2022 was primarily because of the growth experienced in commercial
real estate, single family, multi-family, commercial business, and consumer loans that was partially offset
by a decrease in construction and development loans. Based on current economic conditions and the
projected loan origination and prepayment amounts, it is anticipated that the overall growth in the loan
portfolio will be limited in 2023.
Single family real estate loans were $205.9 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $42.6 million,
compared to $163.3 million at December 31, 2021. The single family loan portfolio increased in 2022
primarily because of an increase in the amount of adjustable rate mortgage loans that were originated and
placed into the loan portfolio. The loan portfolio also increased because of a decrease in loan payoffs.
The increase in adjustable rate loan originations and the decrease in loan payoffs was primarily the result
of the increase in mortgage rates in 2022.
Multi-family real estate loans were $53.9 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $10.8 million,
compared to $43.1 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in multi-family real estate loans in 2022 is
primarily the result of new loan originations and transfers in from other loan types, partially offset by
loans that were repaid during the year.
Commercial real estate loans were $370.9 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $64.4 million,
compared to $306.5 million at December 31, 2021. The outstanding commercial real estate loans
increased as a result of $80.4 million increase in originations between the periods due, in part, to an
increase in the number of people on the commercial lending staff during the year.
45
Construction and development loans were $46.5 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $0.7
million, compared to $47.2 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in construction and development
loans resulted primarily from $14.6 million in paid off loans and $26.3 million where the projects were
completed and the loans were moved to a permanent classification. These decreases were partially offset
by $24.0 million in new construction loan originations and $16.2 in advances on existing loans.
Home equity lines of credit were $17.6 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $0.1 million,
compared to $17.5 million at December 31, 2021. The open-end home equity lines are generally written
with an adjustable rate and a two to ten year draw period which requires interest only payments followed
by a ten year repayment period which fully amortizes the outstanding balance. Home equity loans were
$10.9 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $3.3 million, compared to $7.6 million at December
31, 2021. Closed-end home equity loans are written with fixed or adjustable rates with terms up to fifteen
years. The overall increase in the open-end equity lines and closed-end equity loans is related primarily to
an increase in new equity loans, as fewer borrowers chose to refinance their home mortgage due to rising
interest rates on conventional mortgage loans.
Recreational vehicle loans were $7.9 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $3.1 million, compared
to $11.0 million at December 31, 2021. These loans were made primarily to finance the recreational
vehicle sales of a single dealer within the Bank’s market area. The decrease in the outstanding balance
between the periods was primarily due to existing loans being paid off, as the recreational vehicle loan
program was discontinued in 2021 and no new recreational vehicle loans are being originated.
Commercial business loans were $65.8 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $5.6 million,
compared to $60.2 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in commercial business loans in 2022 was
primarily because of an increase in the draws on established commercial business lines of credit between
the periods.
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 allowance for loan losses is made up of
general reserves on the entire loan portfolio and specific reserves on impaired loans. The general reserve
amount includes quantitative reserves based on the size and risk characteristics of the portfolio and past
loan loss history and qualitative reserves for other items determined to have a potential impact on future
loan losses. The general reserves increased during the year primarily because of the loan portfolio growth
and because of an increase in the required qualitative reserves. The other qualitative reserves were
increased in 2022 due to a perceived deterioration of economic conditions, including the elevated
inflation rate, and enacted and expected increases in the federal funds rate. These qualitative reserve
increases were partially offset by a reduction in the qualitative reserves for loan losses related to the
disruption in business activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic because of a perceived reduction in
this risk due to improving conditions during 2022. 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
46
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 $10.3 million, or 1.30% of gross loans at December 31, 2022,
compared to $9.3 million, or 1.40% of gross loans at December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses
increased in 2022 primarily because of growth in the portfolio and also because of an increase in
qualitative reserves related to the perceived negative impact on borrowers from inflation and rising
interest rates. The allowance as a percentage of gross loans decreased due to the improvement in the
credit risk of the loans held in the portfolio between the periods.

The allocated allowance percentages for commercial real estate and commercial business loans decreased
in 2022 primarily because of the improvement in the credit risk of the loans held in the portfolio between
47
the periods. The increase in the allowance percentage for single family and consumer loans between the
periods is due to an increase in the qualitative reserves relating to the perceived negative impact on
borrowers from inflation and rising interest rates.
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, 2022 or 2021.
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 with terms that the Bank would not normally grant to borrowers whose
financial condition had deteriorated. Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in
settlement of loans.
Total non-performing assets were $1.9 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $3.0 million, or
61.8%, from $4.9 million at December 31, 2021. Non-performing loans decreased $2.7 million and
foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $0.3 million during 2022. The decrease in non-performing
loans is related to a $3.8 million decrease in non-performing commercial real estate loans, primarily
because of a $3.1 million loan in the hospitality industry that was reclassified as performing during 2022.
Non-performing consumer loans also decreased $0.1 million during the period. These decreases in non-
performing loans were partially offset by increases of $0.6 million and $0.5 million in non-performing
single family and commercial business loans, respectively.

Gross interest income which would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in
accordance with their original terms amounted to $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the years ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The amount that was included in interest income on a cash
48
basis for these loans for 2022 was not material, and for the year ended December 31, 2021 the amount
included in interest income was $0.2 million.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were loans included in loans receivable, net, with terms that had
been modified in a TDR totaling $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Had these loans been
performing in accordance with their original terms throughout 2022 and 2021, the Company would have
recorded gross interest income of $0.1 million for both years. During 2022 and 2021, the amount of
interest income received on these loans was not material.
For the loans that were modified in 2022, $0.1 million were classified and performing, and an immaterial
amount were non-performing at December 31, 2022. The decrease in TDRs in 2022 related primarily to a
commercial real estate loan that was charged down and paid off during the year. Three loans totaling $0.1
million were modified in 2022 and outstanding at December 31, 2022. One loan was secured by business
assets, one loan was secured by a retail single family lot, and one loan was secured by personal property.
For the loans that were modified in 2021, none were classified and performing, and $0.3 million were
non-performing at December 31, 2021. The decrease in TDRs in 2021 related primarily to a single family
first mortgage loan that paid off during the year. Of the loans that were modified in 2021 and outstanding
at December 31, 2021, $0.2 million related to a loan secured by commercial real estate and $0.1 million
consisted of two unrelated loans secured by first mortgages on single family properties.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-02,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.
The amendments in this ASU eliminate the guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors
in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure
requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructures by creditors when a borrower is experiencing
financial difficulty. See “Note 1 Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies - New Accounting Pronouncements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
further information on the impact on the Company when it adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company manages its liquidity position so that the funding needs of borrowers and depositors are
met in a timely and 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, commercial,
internet, and 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
49
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.
The primary financing activity is the attraction of retail, commercial, internet, and brokered deposits. The
Bank also has the ability to borrow funds from the FHLB or Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis based
on the collateral value of the loans pledged, 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 the advances that could be drawn
based upon existing collateral levels with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
Unpledged securities could also be pledged and used as collateral for additional borrowings with the
FHLB or 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.
Cash and cash equivalents for the Company at December 31, 2022 were $36.3 million, a decrease of
$57.8 million, compared to $94.1 million at December 31, 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities
during 2022 was $31.3 million. The Company conducted the following investing activities during 2022:
purchases of securities available for sale and FHLB stock were $41.9 million; principal payments and
maturity and redemption proceeds received on securities available for sale and FHLB stock were $56.3
million; and the proceeds from the sale of premises and other real estate were $0.4 million. Net loans
receivable increased $139.7 million and the Company purchased premises and equipment of $0.3 million.
Net cash used by investing activities during 2022 was $125.2 million. The Company conducted the
following major financing activities during 2022: deposits increased $31.2 million; received proceeds
from borrowings of $158.9 million, repaid borrowings of $158.9 million, purchased treasury stock of $2.2
million; paid dividends to stockholders of $1.0 million, and customer escrows increased $8.0 million. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $36.0 million for 2022.
The Bank has certificates of deposits from customers with outstanding balances of $72.7 million that
mature during 2023. 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, brokers, or FHLB advances. Proceeds from the sale of
securities could also be used to fund unanticipated outflows of deposits.
The Bank has deposits of $134.2 million in checking and money market accounts of eight 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, replaced with deposits from other customers, brokers, or with advances from
the FHLB. 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 2022, the Bank paid dividends to the Company of $6.0
million and at December 31, 2022, the Company had an available cash balance of $15.3 million.
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 regulatory costs. The Company may also
50
use cash to repurchase stock or pay any declared dividends. 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 no off-balance sheet arrangements other than commitments to originate and sell loans
in the ordinary course of business. The Company does have certain obligations and commitments to
make future payments under existing contracts. See “Note 18 Commitments and Contingencies” in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the outstanding contractual
obligations and commercial commitments at December 31, 2022.
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Bank is 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, including requirements relating to
common equity as a component of core capital, (ii) implement a “capital conservation buffer” against risk
and a minimum Tier 1 capital requirement, and (iii) set forth rules for calculating risk-weighted assets for
purposes of such requirements. The rules made corresponding revisions to the prompt corrective action
framework and include capital ratios and buffer requirements. 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-
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 Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) amended its Policy Statement, to exempt
small bank and savings and loan holding companies with assets less than $3 billion from the above capital
requirements. 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 maintain a capital conservation buffer of at least 2.50% 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. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2022, 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 OCC has extensive discretion in its
supervisory and enforcement activities, and can adjust the requirement to be well-capitalized in the future.
See “Note 17 Regulatory Capital” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a table that
reflects the Bank’s capital compared to these capital requirements.
New Accounting Pronouncements
“Note 1 Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – New Accounting
Pronouncements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements discusses recently issued accounting
pronouncements that the Company will be required to adopt. Also discussed is management’s expectation
of the impact these new accounting pronouncements will have on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
51
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, 2022.

The preceding table was prepared utilizing the following assumptions (the Model 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
1% 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 7% and 43%, 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 savings accounts were assumed to decay at an
annual rate of 26% and 2%, respectively. Retail non-interest and interest-bearing checking accounts were
assumed to decay at annual rates of 14% and 21%, respectively. Commercial non-interest and interest-
bearing checking accounts were assumed to decay at annual rates of 16% and 36%, respectively.
Commercial MMDAs were assumed to decay at annual rates of between 4% and 18%.
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
52
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 those assumed in calculating the foregoing table. The
ability of many borrowers to service their debt may also decrease in the event of a substantial increase in
interest rates.
Asset/Liability Management
The Company's management reviews the impact that changing interest rates will have on the net interest
income projected for the twelve months following December 31, 2022 to determine if its current level of
interest rate risk is acceptable. The following table projects the estimated impact on net interest income
during the twelve month period ending December 31, 2023 of immediate interest rate changes called rate
shocks:

The preceding table was prepared utilizing the Model Assumptions. Certain shortcomings are inherent in
the method of analysis presented in the preceding 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 preceding 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 interest earning assets that are
anticipated to reprice to higher interest rates in that environment in the next twelve months than there are
deposits that would reprice based on the composition of deposits and the estimated lag in repricing certain
deposits.
In managing the Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates, management closely monitors interest
rate risk. The Company has an Asset/Liability Committee that meets frequently to discuss changes in the
interest rate risk position and projected profitability. The Committee makes adjustments to the
asset/liability position of the Bank that are reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Bank. This
Committee also reviews the Bank's portfolio, formulates investment strategies and oversees the timing
and 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.
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.
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 structure its balance sheet to better match the maturities of its
53
assets and liabilities. The Bank sells almost all of its originated 30-year fixed rate single family
residential loans that are saleable to third parties and generally places only adjustable rate or shorter-term
fixed rate loans that meet certain risk characteristics into its loan portfolio. In addition, a significant
portion of the Bank’s commercial loans that are placed into the portfolio are adjustable rate loans or fixed
rate loans that reprice in five years or less.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of HMN Financial, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HMN Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of
comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the
related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have,
nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our
audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such
procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the
financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and
that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved
our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit
matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are
not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit
matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Allowance for loan losses
As described in Notes 1 and 6 to the financial statements, the Company’s allowance for loan losses is a
valuation account that reflects the Company’s estimate of incurred losses in its loan portfolio to the extent
they are both probable and reasonable to estimate. The allowance for loan losses was $10.3 million at
December 31, 2022, which consists of two components (i) specific reserves based on probable losses
on specific loans (specific reserves), representing $0.2 million, and (ii) a general allowance based on
historical loan loss experience, general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors, both
internal and external to the Company (general reserves), representing $10.1 million. The general
component of the allowance for loan losses is based on a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative
and qualitative. Quantitative factors include the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquency and
charge-off trends, risk ratings, collateral values, known information about individual loans and other
factors. Qualitative factors include various considerations regarding the general economic environment
in the Company’s market area and national economic factors. The qualitative adjustment for the general
reserve includes management’s consideration of industry concentrations; specific credit risks; credit loss
experience; current loan portfolio quality; present economic, political and regulatory conditions; and
unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio.
The qualitative adjustment contributes significantly to the general reserve component of the allowance
for loan losses. Management’s identification and analysis of these considerations and related
adjustments requires significant judgment and could have a significant effect on the allowance for loan
losses. We identified the estimate of the qualitative adjustment of the general reserve for the allowance
for loan losses as a critical audit matter as they represent a significant portion of the total general reserve
and because management’s estimate relies on a qualitative analysis to determine a quantitative
adjustment which required especially subjective auditor judgment.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
Performing substantive testing, including evaluating management’s judgments and assumptions
for developing the general reserve qualitative adjustments for the allowance for loan losses,
including:
o Evaluating the completeness and accuracy of data inputs used as a basis for the
adjustments relating to qualitative general reserve factors and considering whether the
sources of data and factors that management used in forming the assumptions are
relevant, reliable, and sufficient for the purpose based on the information gathered.
(2)
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of HMN Financial, Inc.
o Assessing the accuracy of management’s risk ratings for commercial real estate and
commercial business loans. Our evaluation considered evidence from management’s
credit presentations and annual reviews, including review of borrower financial
information, collateral values, payment history, and other credit specific information.
o Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s judgments related to the qualitative and
quantitative assessment of the data used in the determination of the general reserve
qualitative adjustments for consistency with each other, the supporting data, relevant
historical data, and industry data.
o Assessing whether historical data is comparable and consistent with data of the current
year and considering whether the data is sufficiently reliable. Among other procedures,
our evaluation considered evidence from internal and external sources, loan portfolio
performance and whether such assumptions were applied consistently period to period.
o Analytically evaluating the qualitative adjustment in the current year compared to prior
year for directional consistency and reasonableness.
o Testing the calculations used by management to translate the assumptions and key
factors into the calculation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2022 and 2021
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 this Annual Report on Form 10-K
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 3, 2023.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require
changes to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their
examination.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis. 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.
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 securities in one of three categories:
62
Trading Securities
Securities held principally for resale in the near term are classified as trading securities and are
recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in other
income.
Securities Held to Maturity
Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost
and adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest
method 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 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 available for sale reflecting a decline in value judged to be other than temporary
are charged to income and a new cost basis is established.
Management monitors the investment security portfolio for impairment on an individual security basis
and has a process in place to identify securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is
other than temporary. This process involves analyzing the length of time and extent to which the fair
value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the market liquidity for the security, the financial
condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, expected cash flows, and the Company's intent and ability
to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the temporary loss, including determining
whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery.
To the extent it is determined that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, an
impairment loss is recognized.
Equity Securities
Equity securities are carried at their fair market value with any changes during the period recognized in
other income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans originated 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 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 loan and are amortized
into income using the interest method over the estimated life of the loans.
63
Premiums and discounts on purchased loans are amortized into interest income using the interest method
over the period to contractual maturity, adjusted for estimated prepayments.
The allowance for 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, regional and local economic conditions (such as unemployment data, loan
delinquencies, 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 impaired. Subsequent new third party 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 is 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.
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit
Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on January 1, 2023, which
changed the methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses. See the “New Accounting
Pronouncements” section later in this Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more
information on the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023.
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
64
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 when
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 when
the loan is repaid or charged off.
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic
326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the
guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables-Troubled
Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing
and restructures by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. See the “New
Accounting Pronouncements” section later in this Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for
more information on the adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023.
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
65
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 of 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 it is 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 their fair value and amortized in proportion to, and over the
period of, estimated net servicing income. The Company evaluates its capitalized mortgage servicing
rights for impairment each quarter. Loan type and note rate are the predominant risk characteristics of the
underlying loans used to stratify capitalized mortgage servicing rights for purposes of measuring
impairment. Any impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance.
Premises and Equipment, net
Land is carried at cost. Office buildings, improvements, and furniture and equipment are carried at cost
less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over their 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 options 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
66
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 2019.
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.
Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Comprehensive (loss) income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and
other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive (loss) income is the total of net income and other
comprehensive (loss) income, which for the Company is comprised of unrealized losses and gains on
securities available for sale.
Segment Information
The amount of each segment item reported is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker
for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance.
Adjustments and eliminations made in preparing an enterprise’s general-purpose financial statements and
allocations of revenues, expenses, and gains or losses are included in determining reported segment profit
or loss if they are included in the measure of the segment’s profit or loss that is used by the chief
operating decision maker. Similarly, only those assets that are included in the measure of the segment’s
assets that are used by the chief operating decision maker are reported for that segment.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and
Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the guidance for troubled debt restructurings
(TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while
enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructures by creditors when a
borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and
measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in
paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a
continuation of an existing loan. For public business entities, such as HMN, the amendments in this ASU
require that an entity disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing
receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments-
67
Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost in the vintage disclosures required by paragraph 326-20-50-6.
The amendments in the ASU will be effective for entities, such as HMN, that have not yet adopted the
amendments in ASU 2016-13 when ASU 2016-13 is adopted. The amendments in this ASU should be
applied prospectively, except as provided in the next sentence. For the transition method related to the
recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective
transition method resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of
adoption. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023, and the impact will result in changes to
subsequent disclosures in the Company’s financial statements but those changes are not expected to be
material.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), were originally effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. On November
26, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses which delayed the implementation date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC smaller
reporting companies, such as HMN, from the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2023. 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. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1,
2023. The transition to the new ASU will be through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening
balance of retained earnings as of the beginning date of January 1, 2023. Based on our current calculation
that is being finalized, the adoption of this ASU will result in a 7% to 11% increase in the allowance for
loan losses that was established as of December 31, 2022.
On February 6, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)
and Leases (Topic 842)-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU related to Leases (Topic 842) did not have any impact
on the Company. The amendments in this ASU related to Topic 326 adds additional guidance related to
the SEC’s expectations for the documentation of the measurement, review process, and the systematic
methodology used by entities to determine the current credit losses under FASB ASC Topic 326. The
Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2023 and will be required to have periodic third
party reviews performed on the Company’s calculation of the allowance for loan losses in subsequent
periods.
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
68
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 Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606) and all subsequent
amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”). The Company’s services that fall within the scope of
ASC 606 are presented on the income statement within non-interest income and are recognized as
revenue as the Company satisfies its performance obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of
ASC 606 include fees and service charges on deposit accounts, ATM and debit card interchange income,
safe deposit box rental fees, check printing charges, income earned on the sale of uninsured investment
products, and gains or losses recognized on the sale of real estate owned.
The following table presents the Company’s sources of non-interest income for the years ended December
31, 2022 and 2021. Sources of revenue outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such.

A description of the Company’s revenue categories that are accounted for under ASC 606 is as follows:
Fees and Service Charges on Deposit Accounts
The Company earns fees from deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and
overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, wire transfer
fees, check cashing fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering charges, ACH fees, and other deposit
related fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed or when the Company fulfills the
customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned
over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance
obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on
deposit accounts are recognized when they are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.
Other Fees and Service Charges
Other fees and service charges consist of revenues that are both within the scope of and outside the scope
of ASC 606. Other fees and service charges within the scope of ASC 606 consist of fees for the rental of
safe deposit boxes and check printing charges. Revenues for these fees are recognized over the period the
service is provided or the fee is incurred by the customer. Other fees and service charges outside the
scope of ASC 606 consist of loan commitment fees and late charges on loans.
69
Debit Card Interchange Fees
The Company earns interchange fees from debit card holder transactions conducted through various
payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions are recognized daily, concurrently with
the transaction processing services provided by an outsourced technology solution and are presented on a
net basis.
Uninsured Investment Product Sales
Commission revenues on the sale of uninsured investment products may be recognized up front on the
sale date of the investment or monthly over a period of years depending on the product being sold. The
commissions on investment sales are recognized when the product sale is completed or monthly for trailer
fees in accordance with the customer agreement. Any subsequent commission adjustments are recognized
upon our receipt of notification from the investment companies concerning matters necessitating such
adjustments. Profit-sharing contingent commissions are recognized when determinable, which is
generally when such commissions are received from the investment companies.
Other
Other non-interest income consists of revenues that are both within the scope of and outside the scope of
ASC 606. Other income within the scope of ASC 606 consists of gains and losses on asset sales and
gains and losses on the sale of real estate owned which are recognized when the asset or real estate is
sold. Other income outside the scope of ASC 606 consists of gains and losses on equity securities and
rental income on buildings.

Management reviews the 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, 2022 relates to a
single trust preferred security that was issued by the holding company of a small community bank. As of
December 31, 2022 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, 2022. 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 was 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, substandard (performing and non-performing), and non-
performing loans categorized as 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 essentially uncollateralized and/or considered
uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset on the balance sheet may not be
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, 2022 and 2021, non-accruing loans totaled $1.9 million and $4.6 million, respectively,
for which the related allowance for loan losses was $0.2 million and $0.4 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 $1.0 million and $0.9 million at
December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 $0.1 million
and $0.3 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the amount of
77
interest income recognized on these loans was not material, and for the year ended December 31, 2021,
the Company recognized interest income on these loans of $0.2 million. 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.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were loans included in loans receivable, net, with terms that had
been modified in a TDR totaling $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Had these loans been
performing in accordance with their original terms throughout 2022 and 2021, the Company would have
recorded gross interest income of $0.1 million in both years. During 2022 and 2021 the amount of
interest income received on these loans was not material. For the loans that were modified in 2022, $0.1
million were classified and performing and an immaterial amount were non-performing at December 31,
2022. For the loans that were modified in 2021, none were classified and performing, and $0.3 million
were non-performing at December 31, 2021.

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 ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

For the year ended December 31, 2022 there was one loan for $0.2 million that was restructured during
the year that subsequently defaulted during 2022. There were no loans that were restructured during the
year ended December 31, 2021 that subsequently defaulted during 2021.
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 that were accruing prior to modification may remain on accrual
status after the modification as long as the loan continues to perform under the new terms.
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 were $0.1 million, or 0.7%, of the total $10.3 million in
allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2022, and $0.2 million, or 2.6%, of the total $9.3 million in
allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2021.

Projections of amortization are based on asset balances and the interest rate environment that existed at
December 31, 2022. The Company’s actual experience may be significantly different depending upon
changes in mortgage interest rates and other market conditions.
No amortization expense relating to goodwill is recorded as GAAP does not allow goodwill to be
amortized but requires that it be tested for impairment at least annually, or sooner, if there are indications
that an impairment may exist. Goodwill was tested for impairment at December 31, 2022 and the
Company determined that it was not permanently impaired and no write down was required.

NOTE 10 Leases
The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and as of
December 31, 2022 a $0.5 million operating lease right-of-use asset and an offsetting lease payment
obligation liability were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities,
respectively.
Operating lease right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and
operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-
of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present
value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company’s incremental
borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Because the Company only has operating leases and the
right-of-use asset is offset by a lease payment obligation liability, the lease payments are the only amount
that is recorded in occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.
The Company’s leases relate to Bank branches with remaining lease terms between 20 and 59 months.
Certain leases contain extension options which typically range from 3 to 10 years. Because these
extension options are not considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease
term. As of December 31, 2022, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities were $0.5 million.
Operating lease costs were $0.2 million and $0.7 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in
operating lease costs in 2022 relates to the purchase of the combined corporate office and branch facility
in Rochester, Minnesota during 2021 that had previously been leased.
The table below summarizes other information related to our operating leases for the years ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company has no federal or state net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2022.
Retained earnings at December 31, 2022 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 deferred tax assets. Positive evidence includes the 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, 2022 and 2021.
NOTE 14 Employee Benefits
The Company participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (Pentegra DB
Plan), a noncontributory multi-employer defined benefit pension plan covering Bank employees who
were hired prior to 2002 that met minimum service requirements. Effective September 1, 2002, this plan
was frozen and closed to new participants but employees that were already in the plan at the time it was
frozen continue to accrue benefits. The Pentegra DB Plan’s Employer Identification Number is 13-
5645888 and the Plan number is 333. There are no collective bargaining agreements that require
contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan, and there is no funding improvement or rehabilitation plan as part
of the Pentegra DB Plan. The Company’s policy is to fund accrued pension costs and the employer
contributions paid and expensed for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0.3
million. The Company’s contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan were not more than 5% of total
contributions to the Plan in either of those years. Funded status (market value of plan assets divided by
the funding target) as of July 1 for the 2022 and 2021 plan years were 80.0% and 90.9%, respectively.
84
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
$20,500 for 2022 and $19,500 for 2021, with additional catch-up contributions allowed for employees
over 50 years of age. 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 2022 and 2021.
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, 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 2022 and 2021.
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 $0.6
million for 2022 and $0.5 million for 2021.
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:

The Company maintains two equity incentive plans, the HMN Financial, Inc. 2009 Equity and Incentive
Plan (2009 Plan) and the HMN Financial, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (2017 Plan). The purposes of
the Company’s equity incentive plans are 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.
85
The 2009 Plan was superseded in April 2017 by the 2017 Plan and options or restricted shares were no
longer awarded from the 2009 Plan. As of December 31, 2022 there were 34,229 shares reserved for
issuance pursuant to options outstanding under the 2009 Plan. These options expire 10 years from the date
of grant, have an average exercise price of $11.21 and had a grant date fair value of $4.04.
Initially there were 375,000 shares of HMN common stock available for issuance pursuant to awards
under the 2017 Plan, subject to adjustment for future stock splits, stock dividends and similar changes to
the 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, 2022, there were no options outstanding under the 2017 Plan. There were 19,054 shares of
restricted stock previously granted to employees and directors under the 2017 Plan that remained
unvested at December 31, 2022.

There were 34,229 vested and exercisable options outstanding at December 31, 2022. These options were
granted on January 26, 2016, have an exercise price of $11.21, and have an average remaining life of 3.1
years. The Company will issue shares from treasury stock upon the exercise of the outstanding options.
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 2022 or 2021.

NOTE 16 Stockholders' Equity
On July 27, 2021 the Company’s Board of Directors increased the aggregate purchase price of shares
eligible to be repurchased to $6.0 million. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company
to purchase any shares and has no set expiration date. The Company repurchased 90,000 shares in the
open market for $2.1 million in 2022 and 217,400 shares in the open market for $4.6 million in 2021. At
December 31, 2022 there was $2.0 million authorized for repurchase in the share repurchase program.
The Company paid dividends on its common stock of $0.24 per share, or $1.0 million, in 2022 and did
not pay any dividends on its common stock during 2021.
Subsequent to the end of 2022, in January 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly
dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock payable on March 8, 2023 to stockholders of record at the
close of business on February 15, 2023. The declaration and amount of any future cash dividends
remains subject to the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors,
including the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, regulatory and
contractual restrictions, business strategy and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
In order to grant a priority to eligible accountholders in the event of future liquidation, the Bank, at the
time of conversion to a stock savings bank, established a liquidation account equal to its regulatory capital
as of September 30, 1993. In the event of future liquidation of the Bank, an eligible accountholder who
continues to maintain their deposit account shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation
account. The total amount of the liquidation account will decrease as the balance of eligible
accountholders is reduced subsequent to the conversion, based on an annual determination of such
balance.
NOTE 17 Regulatory Capital
The Bank is 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, 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 such requirements. The rules also made corresponding revisions to the prompt
corrective action framework and include capital ratios and buffer requirements. 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-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 Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement (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, 2022 and 2021, 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 of 2.50% 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. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2022, 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 OCC 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 capital and liquidity amounts to maintain their
Federal Housing Administration approved status. Failure to comply with the HUD guidelines could result
in withdrawal of this certification. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with HUD
guidelines.

NOTE 18 Commitments and Contingencies
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 all
commitments to extend credit. These commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and
interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of these
instruments reflect the extent of involvement by the Company.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial
instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of these commitments.
The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet
instruments.
A summary of the Company’s commitments to extend credit and sell loans as of December 31, 2022 and
2021 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 the payment of a fee. Since a portion of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a
case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of
credit, is based on the loan type and on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral
consists primarily of residential and commercial real estate and personal property. Forward commitments
represent commitments to sell loans to a third party following the closing of the loan and are entered into
in the normal course of business by the Bank.
The Bank issued standby letters of credit which guarantee the performance of customers to third parties.
The standby letters of credit outstanding expire over the next 22 months and totaled $11.4 million at
December 31, 2022 and $7.6 million at December 31, 2021. 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.

Amount of Commitments Expiring by Period
From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings arising out of its lending and deposit
operations. The Company is, and expects to become, engaged in foreclosure proceedings, collection
actions, and other litigation as part of its normal banking activities. The Company examines each legal
matter, and, in those situations where it determines that a particular legal matter presents loss
contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, establishes an appropriate accrual. In
many situations, the Company is not able to estimate reasonably possible losses due to the preliminary
nature of the legal matter, as well as a variety of other factors and uncertainties. Based on the Company’s
current understanding of all of the outstanding legal matters, management does not believe that judgments
or settlements arising from any pending or threatened litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would
have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 19 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company originates single family residential loans for sale into the secondary market and enters into
commitments to sell those loans in order to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with holding the loans
until they are sold. The Company accounts for its commitments in accordance with ASC 815, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
The Company had commitments outstanding to extend credit to future borrowers that had not closed prior
to the end of the year, which is referred to as its mortgage pipeline. As commitments to originate loans
enter the mortgage pipeline, the Company generally enters into commitments to sell the loans into the
secondary market. The commitments to originate and sell loans are derivatives that are recorded at fair
value. The marking of these derivatives to fair value for the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021
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:
90
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, 2022 and 2021.

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 GAAP. 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 2022 and 2021 that were still held at December
31, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and

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,
2022 and 2021 based upon relevant market information, if available, and upon the characteristics of the
financial instruments themselves. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's
financial instruments, fair value estimates are based upon judgments regarding future expected loss
experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other
factors. The estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant
judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly
affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based only on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the
value of anticipated future business or the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial
instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses
can have a significant effect on the fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the
estimates.
The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments is shown below. Following the table,
there is an explanation of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.
Securities Available for Sale
The fair values of securities were based upon quoted market prices for similar securities.
Equity Securities
The fair values of equity securities were based upon quoted market prices for similar securities.
92
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.
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.
Accrued Interest Payable
The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value since it is short-term in
nature.
Commitments to Extend Credit
The fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees normally charged to enter
into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present
creditworthiness of the counter parties.
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.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING
AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. An evaluation was carried out under the supervision
and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Bank’s President (our Principal
Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Financial Officer) of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-
15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that
evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.
Changes in internal controls. No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was
identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred
95
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. The Company’s
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the
maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the Company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are only being made in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system
inherently has limitations, and the benefits of controls must be weighed against their costs. Additionally,
controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons by collusion of two or more people,
or by management override of the control. Therefore, no assessment of a cost-effective system of internal
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be
detected.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its
internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the Internal Control-Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on the Company’s evaluation under this framework, the Company’s management concluded that
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.
