MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Annual Report, other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Company’s proxy statement may contain “forward-looking” statements that deal with future results, plans or performance. In addition, the Company’s management may make such statements orally to the media, or to securities analysts, investors or others. Forward-looking statements deal with matters that do not relate strictly to historical facts. Words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “would”, “could” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company’s future results may differ materially from historical performance and forward-looking statements about the Company’s expected financial results or other plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These include but are not limited to possible legislative changes and adverse economic, business and competitive developments such as shrinking interest margins; deposit outflows; reduced demand for financial services and loan products; changes in accounting policies and guidelines, or monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; changes in credit and other risks posed by the Company’s loan and investment portfolios; changes in loan repayment and prepayment patterns; changes in loan terms and conditions; technological, computer-related or operational difficulties; adverse changes in securities markets; results of litigation or other significant uncertainties.

OVERVIEW

HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) is the stock savings bank holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank) which operates community retail banking facilities and loan production offices in southern Minnesota and Iowa. Eagle Crest Capital Bank, a division of Home Federal Savings Bank, provides private banking services to a diverse group of high net worth customers from offices in Edina and Rochester, Minnesota. The earnings of the Company are primarily dependent on the Bank’s net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances. The difference between the average rate 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. The Company’s interest rate spread has been enhanced over the past several years by the increased level of commercial loans placed in portfolio and the increased amount of lower rate deposit products such as checking and savings accounts. Net interest income and net interest rate spread are affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. The Company’s net income is also affected by the generation of non-interest income, which consists primarily of gains or losses from the sale of securities, gains from the sale of loans, fees for servicing mortgage loans, and the generation of fees and service charges on deposit accounts. The Bank incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in the form of salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses, provisions for loan losses and amortization and valuation adjustments on mortgage servicing assets.

     The earnings of financial institutions, such as the Bank, are significantly affected by prevailing economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government monetary and fiscal policies, and regulations of various regulatory authorities. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply 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 Policies

Critical accounting policies are those policies that the Company’s management believes are the most important to understanding the Company’s financial condition and operating results. The Company has identified the following three critical accounting policies that management believes involve the most difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments that are inherently uncertain. Therefore, actual financial results could differ significantly depending upon the assumptions, estimates 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. In this analysis, management considers factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences of loan impairment, changes in the size of the portfolios, national and regional economic conditions such as unemployment data, loan portfolio composition, loan delinquencies, local construction permits, development plans, local economic growth rates, historical 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 adequacy of the loan loss allowance for its homogeneous single-family and consumer loan portfolios and its non-homogeneous loan portfolios. 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 using a combination of the Company’s own loss experience and external industry data and are assigned to all loans without identified credit weaknesses. The Company also performs an individual analysis of impairment on each non-performing loan that is based on the expected cash flows or the value of the assets collateralizing the loans. 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 of all non-performing loans.

     The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is dependent upon management’s estimates of variables affecting valuation, appraisals of collateral, evaluations of performance and status, and the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to

6

be received on impaired loans. Such estimates, appraisals, evaluations and cash flows may be subject to frequent adjustments due to changing economic prospects of borrowers or properties. The estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments, if any, are recorded in the provision for loan losses in the periods in which the adjustments become known. The allowance is allocated to individual loan categories based upon the relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolios and the actual loss experience. The Company increases its allowance for loan losses by charging the provision for loan losses against income. The methodology for establishing the allowance for loan losses takes into consideration probable losses that have been identified in connection with specific loans as well as losses in the loan portfolio for which specific reserves are not required. Although management believes that based on current conditions the allowance for loan losses is maintained at an adequate amount to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet dates, future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining the allowance for loan losses and adjustments may be required in the future.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company recognizes as an asset the rights to service mortgage loans for others, which are referred to as mortgage servicing rights (MSRs). MSRs are capitalized at the relative fair value of the servicing rights on the date the mortgage loan is sold and are carried at the lower of the capitalized amount, net of accumulated amortization, or fair value. MSRs are capitalized and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. Each quarter the Company evaluates its MSRs for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140. Loan type and interest rate are the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans used to stratify the MSRs for purposes of measuring impairment. If temporary impairment exists, a valuation allowance is established for any excess of amortized cost over the current fair value through a charge to income. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the temporary impairment no longer exists, a reduction of the valuation allowance is recorded as an increase to income. The valuation is based on various assumptions, including the estimated prepayment speeds and default rates of the stratified portfolio. Changes in the mix of loans, interest rates, prepayment speeds, or default rates from the estimates used in the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights may have a material effect on the amortization and valuation of MSRs. Management believes that the assumptions used and the values determined are reasonable based on current conditions. However, future economic conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining the value of the MSRs and adjustments may be required in the future. The Company does not formally hedge its MSRs because they are hedged naturally by the Company’s origination volume. Generally, as interest rates rise the origination volume declines and the value of MSRs increases and as interest rates decline the origination volume increases and the value of MSRs decreases.

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 liabilities.

Results of Operations

Net income was $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2005 were $2.77, compared to $2.31 for the year ended December 31, 2004. Return on average assets was 1.12% and 1.01% and return on average equity was 12.42% and 11.03% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

     In comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the year ended December 31, 2004, net interest income increased $5.2 million primarily because of an increase in interest rates and because of a higher concentration of commercial loans and increased checking and savings deposits. Non-interest income increased $542,000 primarily because of a decrease in the losses recognized on securities. Non-interest expense increased $1.6 million primarily because of increased compensation and benefits costs and increased occupancy costs due in part to additional corporate office facilities occupied in the first quarter of 2005.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $5.2 million from $30.6 million in 2004. Interest income was $60.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $8.7 million from $51.6 million for the same period in 2004. Interest income increased because of an increase in the average outstanding balance of interest-earning assets of $66 million between the periods and an increase in interest rates. Interest rates increased primarily because of the 200 basis point increase in the prime interest rate between the periods. Increases in the prime rate, which is the rate that banks charge their prime business customers, generally increase the rates on adjustable rate consumer and commercial loans in the portfolio and new loans originated. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily the result of the

7

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

$85 million increase in the average outstanding balance of commercial loans between the periods. During 2005, the Company’s commercial portfolio continued to increase and represented 66.8% of the Company’s outstanding loans at December 31, 2005, compared to 63.6% at December 31, 2004. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 6.41% for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 51 basis points from the 5.90% yield for the same period of 2004. Interest expense was $24.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $3.5 million from $21.0 million for the same period in 2004. Interest expense increased primarily because of higher interest rates paid on deposits which were caused by the 200 basis point increase in the federal funds rate between the periods.

Increases in the federal funds rate, which is the rate that banks charge other banks for short term loans, generally increase the rates banks pay for deposits. Interest expense also increased because of the $58 million increase in the average outstanding interest bearing liabilities between the periods. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.76% for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 23 basis points from the 2.53% paid for the same period of 2004. The following table presents the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates. Non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

     Net interest margin increased to 3.80% in 2005 from 3.50% for 2004 primarily because of the growth in commercial loans, which generally have a higher yield than other interest-earning assets, and the increase in the outstanding average balance of checking accounts, which generally have a lower rate than other interest-bearing liabilities. Average net interest-earning assets were $52.9 million in 2005 compared to $44.6 million for 2004. Net interest-earning assets increased because of net income and an increase of $1.5 million in interest earning cash balances between the periods due to a reduction in the compensating balance requirements at the Federal Reserve Bank. Net interest-earning assets were reduced by the repurchase of HMN common stock and the payment of dividends. During 2005 and 2004 the Company paid $972,000 and $3.3 million to purchase its common stock in the open market, respectively, and paid dividends to stockholders of $3.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

     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 old volume).

Provision For Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is recorded to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors disclosed in the critical accounting policy previously discussed. The provision for loan losses was $2.7 million for 2005 compared to $2.8 million in 2004. The provision for loan losses decreased primarily because the commercial loan portfolio growth rate decreased from 13.5% in 2004 to 3.4% in 2005. The decrease in the provision related to reduced loan growth during the period was partially offset by an increase in the provision related to loan charge offs which increased from $738,000 in 2004 to $3.1 million in 2005. Loans charged off during 2005 included commercial loans of $2.6 million, consumer loans of $228,000, and mortgage loans of $234,000. The commercial loan charge offs were the result of acquiring multiple related real estate properties during the year that were subsequently sold at a loss.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $542,000, from $6.0 million for the same period in 2004. The following table presents the components of non-interest income:

     Fees and service charges earned in 2005 decreased $57,000 from those earned in 2004 due to a decrease in overdraft fees and service charges because of customer behavior changes that resulted in a lower volume of activity in 2005. Title service fees also decreased because Federal Title Services, LLC was dissolved in 2004.

     Loan servicing fees increased $41,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Commercial loan servicing fees increased $57,000 as a result of an increase in loans serviced for others. The commercial loan servicing portfolio increased because the Bank continues to sell off participations in certain originated commercial loans in order to adhere to regulatory lending limits and manage credit risk within the portfolio. Single family loan servicing fees decreased $16,000 due to a decrease in the number of single-family loans that were serviced for others. The number of loans serviced decreased because of decreased single family loan production and because the servicing rights on many of the loans originated in 2005 were sold with the loans.

     Security losses decreased $514,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 due to the $539,000 write down in the fourth quarter of 2004 of a Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) preferred stock investment whose decline in value due to decreased interest rates was determined to be other than temporary. An additional write down of $21,000 was recorded on the same security in 2005. The ability to realize gains on the sale of securities is dependent on the type of securities in the securities portfolio and on changes in the general interest rate environment. There were no investment sales in 2005 and sales were limited in 2004 because the rising interest rate environment limited the opportunity to sell securities at a gain.

     Gain on sales of loans increased $150,000 in 2005. Gains on the sale of single-family loans decreased $321,000 in 2005 due to decreased loan originations. The decrease in single-family loan sales was offset entirely by an increase in the gains recognized on the sale of government guaranteed commercial loans sold in 2005. In an effort to diversify the Bank’s product offerings, the Bank began offering Small Business Administration (SBA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guaranteed loans in 2005. The Company expects mortgage interest rates to trend higher in 2006, which may result in lower loan originations and less gain on sales of single family loans than that experienced in 2005. Commercial loan sales volume is anticipated to increase in 2006.

     Other non-interest income consists primarily of fees and commissions earned on the sale of financial planning and insurance products and the gains and losses from the sale of assets. For 2005, other non-interest income decreased $105,000, primarily because of increased losses on the sale of repossessed and foreclosed assets that were partially offset by increased rental income from leasing space at an existing branch facility to a third party.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $21.8 million, compared to $20.2 million for the year ended in 2004. The following table presents the components of non-interest expense:

							Percentage

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     Non-interest expense increased $1.6 million in 2005 primarily because of a $954,000 increase in compensation and benefits expense due to increases in payroll costs primarily due to annual salary increases and increases in employee benefit costs. Occupancy expense increased $451,000 primarily because of the additional corporate office space that was occupied in the first quarter of 2005 and increased amortization expense on various software upgrades. Other operating expenses increased $186,000 primarily because of increased costs on foreclosed and repossessed assets and increased charitable contributions in 2005 when compared to 2004. Beginning January 1, 2006 the Company will be required to include all share-based payment transactions in compensation expense in accordance with the requirements of FAS 123R. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the impact of FAS 123R.

Income Taxes

The Company considers the calculation of current and deferred income taxes to be a critical accounting policy that is subject to significant estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Income tax expense was $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $4.4 million for 2004. Income tax expense increased between the periods due to an increase in taxable income and an increase in the effective tax rate from 32.1% in 2004 to 37.8% in 2005. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of additional state tax expense due to changes in state tax laws that occurred in 2005. Refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional income tax information.

COMPARISON OF 2004 WITH 2003

Net income was $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $2.31, compared to $2.16 for the year ended December 31, 2003. Return on average assets was 1.01% and 1.10% and return on average equity was 11.03% and 10.85% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     In comparing the year ended December 31, 2004 to the year ended December 31, 2003, net interest income increased by $6.0 million primarily because of an increase in interest-earning assets and because of a higher concentration of commercial and consumer loans and an increase in checking and money market deposit accounts. Non-interest income decreased by $4.3 million primarily due to decreases in the gains recognized on the sale of mortgage loans and securities. Non-interest expense increased by $500,000 primarily because of the $1.5 million increase in compensation and benefits costs due to increases in health insurance costs and the number of employees. This increase was partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights that was primarily caused by a decrease in the prepayments of mortgage loans in 2004.

     Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $30.6 million, an increase of $6.0 million, compared to $24.6 million in 2003. Interest income was $51.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $6.7 million, from $44.9 million for the same period in 2003. Interest income increased primarily because of an increase in average interest-earning assets and because of a change in the mix of assets between the periods. The increase in interest-earning assets was caused primarily by the $105 million increase in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios between the periods. During 2004, the Company’s commercial and consumer loan portfolios continued to increase and these portfolios represented 77.9% of the Company’s outstanding loans at December 31, 2004, compared to 61.7% at December 31, 2003. The increase in interest income as a result of the increased interest-earning assets more than offset the decrease in the interest rates earned on the assets between the periods. The yield earned on interest-earning assets was 5.90% for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of 14 basis points from the 6.04% yield for the same period of 2003. Interest expense was $21.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of $704,000, from the $20.3 million for the same period in 2003. Interest expense on deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $2.1 million due to the $132 million in growth in the average outstanding balance of deposits and advances between the periods. This increase was partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in interest expense due to a decline in the interest rates paid. The decline in interest rates paid is due in part to the $90 million increase in the outstanding average balance of checking and money market accounts between the periods, which generally have lower interest rates than other deposit accounts. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.53% for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of 38 basis points from the 2.91% in 2003.

     Net interest margin increased to 3.50% in 2004 compared to 3.31% for 2003 primarily because of the growth in commercial and consumer loans and the increase in the outstanding average balance of checking and money market accounts. Average net earning assets were $44.6 million in

12

2004 compared to $46.4 million for 2003. Net earning assets were reduced because of the repurchase of HMN common stock, the payment of dividends, an increase in non-interest earning cash due to the operation of more ATM machines in 2004, and an increase in non-interest bearing reserve accounts required to be maintained because of the increase in transaction account deposits between the periods. During 2004 and 2003 the Company paid $3.3 million and $1.4 million to purchase its common stock in the open market and paid dividends to stockholders of $3.2 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Non-interest bearing cash amounts increased by $2.4 million and the required non-interest bearing reserve balance on transaction accounts grew by $1.4 million.

     The provision for loan losses was $2.8 million for 2004 compared to $2.6 million for 2003. The provision for loan losses increased primarily because of an increase in the reserves established on two commercial lending relationships with combined outstanding balances of $10.4 million and loss reserves of $744,000 at December 31, 2004. The increased reserves were due to downgrades in the risk ratings assigned to these loans. Both of these loans were performing at December 31, 2004 and will continue to be monitored for changes in risk in accordance with the Company’s commercial credit policy. The increase in the provision because of these downgrades was partially offset by the $43 million decrease in loan growth that was experienced in the commercial and consumer loan portfolios during 2004 when compared to 2003. Commercial and consumer loans generally require a larger provision due to the greater inherent credit risk of these loans.

     Non-interest income was $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004, a decrease of $4.3 million, from $10.3 million for the same period in 2003. Fees and service charges earned in 2004 increased $472,000 from those earned in 2003, primarily due to the full year effect of increased fees generated from an overdraft protection program that was implemented in the second quarter of 2003. Mortgage servicing fees increased $171,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 due to the increased number of single-family loans that were serviced for others. The lower mortgage interest rates in 2003 resulted in increased loan originations and the majority of the loans were sold on the secondary mortgage market with the servicing rights retained. Security gains decreased $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as fewer investments were sold and because of the $539,000 write down of a Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) preferred stock investment whose decline in value due to changes in interest rates was determined to be other than temporary. The ability to realize gains on the sale of securities is dependent on the type of securities in the securities portfolio and on changes in the general interest rate environment. The Company was able to recognize gains on both its debt and equity security portfolios in the declining interest rate conditions that existed during 2003, but was not able to do this in the rising rate environment that existed in 2004. Gains on the sale of single-family loans decreased $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Increases in interest rates from the historically low mortgage rates experienced during 2003 resulted in a significant decrease in mortgage loan origination activity in 2004 when compared to 2003. Losses from limited partnerships decreased $217,000 for the year ended December 31, 2004 primarily because the Company’s investment in a limited partnership that invested in mortgage servicing rights was dissolved in the second quarter of 2003. Generally, as interest rates rise the value of fixed rate mortgage servicing rights increases and as interest rates fall the value of mortgage servicing rights declines due to changes in the anticipated cash flows caused by prepayments on the loans being serviced. During 2003, declines in interest rates on single-family mortgages caused the Company to recognize losses on its investment in the mortgage servicing limited partnership. This partnership was dissolved in the second quarter of 2003 in order to eliminate future losses.

     Other non-interest income consists primarily of fees and commissions earned on the sale of financial planning and insurance products and the gains and losses from the sale of assets. For the year ended December 31, 2004, other non-interest income was $880,000 compared to $681,000 for 2003. The change in other non-interest income is principally due to increases in revenues from the sale of uninsured investment products.

     Non-interest expense increased $509,000 in 2004 primarily because of a $1.5 million increase in compensation and benefits expense due to increases in health insurance and payroll costs due to normal staffing growth during the year and annual salary increases. Occupancy expense increased $206,000 primarily because of real estate tax increases on existing facilities and increased expenses related to the additional corporate facilities that were put in place in the first quarter of 2004. Amortization expense on mortgage servicing rights decreased $921,000 between the periods because of a decrease in the prepayments on the mortgage loans being serviced. Data processing costs decreased $179,000 primarily because of the renegotiation of a third party service contract in the fourth quarter of 2003.

     During 2004 and 2003 the Company recorded income tax expense of $4.4 million and $4.0 million, respectively. The change in income tax expense is primarily the result of changes in taxable income.

     The Company continues to manage interest rate risk and increase interest income by increasing its investment in shorter term and generally higher yielding commercial real estate and commercial business loans and reducing its investment in longer term one-to-four family real estate loans. The Company intends to continue to increase the size of its commercial real estate and commercial business portfolios while maintaining the one-to-four family and consumer loan portfolios.

     One-to-four family real estate loans were $127.1 million at December 31, 2005, a decrease of $11.9 million, compared to $139.0 million at December 31, 2004. Loan originations decreased in 2005 and the mortgage loans that were originated and placed in portfolio were not enough to offset the principal payments received on the loans already in the portfolio. The decrease in the amount of mortgage loans placed in portfolio was the primary reason for the decline in the one-to-four family loan portfolio during 2005.

14

     Commercial real estate loans were $260.3 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $35.4 million, compared to $224.9 million at December 31, 2004. Commercial business loans were $194.0 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $11.6 million, compared to $182.4 million at December 31, 2004. The Company’s continued emphasis on commercial real estate and commercial business loans resulted in the origination or purchase of these loans totaling $265.7 million in 2005, compared to $193.4 million in 2004. An increase in loan production volume was the principal reason for the increase in commercial real estate and commercial business loans in 2005.

     Home equity line loans were $61.0 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $67.1 million at December 31, 2004. The open-end home equity lines are written with an adjustable rate with a 10 year draw period which requires “interest only” payments followed by a 10 year repayment period which fully amortizes the outstanding balance. Closed-end home equity loans are written with fixed or adjustable rates with terms up to 15 years. Home equity loans were $19.1 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $20.0 million at December 31, 2004. The prime interest rate increased 200 basis points in 2005 while long term mortgage rates decreased. Since most home equity loan rates are tied to the prime interest rate, some borrowers rolled their adjustable rate home equity loans into a mortgage loan in order to lock in a long term fixed rate.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The determination of the allowance for loan losses and the related provision is a critical accounting policy of the Company that is subject to significant estimates, as previously discussed. The current level of the allowance for loan losses is a result of management’s assessment of the risks within the portfolio based on the information obtained through the credit evaluation process. The Company utilizes a risk-rating system on non-homogenous 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 loan portfolio and evaluates the need to establish general allowances on the basis of these reviews.

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

     The allowance for loan losses was $8.8 million, or 1.09%, of gross loans at December 31, 2005, compared to $9.0 million, or 1.12%, of gross loans at December 31, 2004. The following table reflects the activity in the allowance for loan losses and selected statistics:

     The allocation of the allowance for loan losses increased in 2005 for one-to-four family and consumer loans due to an increase in the reserve for unclassified loans based on management’s assessment of the risk in these portfolios. The allocated percentage for construction or development loans increased in 2005 due to management’s assessment of the risk of certain individual loans in this category. The allocated percentage for multi-family and commercial real estate loans decreased between the years because some of the loans that were classified at the end of 2004 paid off or were charged off during 2005.

Allowance for Real Estate Losses

Real estate properties acquired or expected to be acquired through loan foreclosures are initially recorded at the lower of the related loan balance, less any specific allowance for loss, or fair value less estimated selling costs. Management periodically performs valuations and an allowance for losses is established if the carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value less estimated selling costs. There was limited activity in the allowance for real estate losses and the balance was $100,000 and $0 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Non-performing Assets

Loans are reviewed at least quarterly and any loan whose collectibility is doubtful is placed on non-accrual status. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due, unless, in the judgment of management, the loan is well collateralized and in the process of collection. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectibility of the loan. Restructured loans include the Bank’s troubled debt restructurings that involved forgiving a portion of interest or principal or making loans at a rate materially less than the market rate. Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans.

     Non-performing assets are comprised of non-accrual loans, restructured loans, impaired securities, delinquent accounts receivable, real estate acquired through foreclosure, and repossessed assets and totaled $3.9 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $4.9 million at December 31, 2004. The $1.0 million decrease in non-performing assets in 2005 relates primarily to a $2.0 million decrease in non-performing loans and a $23,000 decrease in non-performing other assets. These decreases are partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million in foreclosed and repossessed assets. The increase in this category is primarily related to a foreclosed commercial real estate property and single family homes that were acquired in 2005.

     The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in the Company’s portfolio:

     For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, gross interest income which would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $327,280, $271,071 and $458,473, respectively. The amounts that were included in interest income on a cash basis for such loans were $273,458, $158,767 and $163,044, respectively.

     In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the table above, as of December 31, 2005 there were no loans with known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers or the cash flows of the secured properties that have caused management to have concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms which may result in the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset categories. Management has considered the Bank’s non-performing and “of concern” assets in establishing its allowance for loan losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company manages its liquidity position to ensure that the funding needs of borrowers and depositors are met timely and in the most cost effective manner. Asset liquidity is the ability to convert assets to cash through the maturity or sale of the asset. Liability liquidity is the ability of the Bank to attract retail or brokered deposits or to borrow funds from third parties such as the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).

     The primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. Principal and interest payments on loans and securities along with the proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale are the primary sources of cash for the Company. Additional cash can be obtained by selling securities from the available for sale portfolio or by selling loans or mortgage servicing rights. Unpledged securities could be pledged and used as collateral for additional borrowings with the FHLB to generate additional cash.

     The primary financing activity is the attraction of retail and brokered deposits. The Bank has the ability to borrow additional funds from the FHLB by pledging additional securities or loans. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on additional advances that could be drawn based upon existing collateral levels with the FHLB. Information on outstanding advance maturities and related early call features is also included in Note 13.

17

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

     The Company’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which consist of short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and interest-bearing deposits. The level of these assets is dependent on the operating, financing and investing activities during any given period.

     Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2005 were $47.3 million, an increase of $13.0 million, compared to $34.3 million at December 31, 2004. Net cash provided by operating activities during 2005 was $25.1 million. The Company conducted the following major investing activities during 2005: principal received on payments and maturities of securities available for sale were $23.1 million, purchases of securities available for sale were $39.5 million, and loans receivable increased $14.5 million. The Company spent $1.2 million for the purchase of equipment and updating its premises. Net cash used by investing activities during 2005 was $31.1 million. The Company conducted the following major financing activities during 2005: purchased treasury stock of $972,000, paid $3.5 million in dividends to HMN stockholders, received proceeds from FHLB advances totaling $78.0 million, repaid FHLB advances totaling $88.0 million, and deposits increased $33.2 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $19.0 million.

     The Company has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $199.2 million that mature during 2006. 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 a combination of other customers or brokers. FHLB advances or the sale of securities could also be used to replace unanticipated outflows of deposits.

     The Company has no FHLB advances that mature in 2006 and it has $110.9 million of FHLB advances with maturities beyond 2006 that have call features that may be exercised by the FHLB during 2006. If the call features are exercised, the Company has the option of requesting any advance otherwise available to it pursuant to the credit policy of the FHLB.

     The credit policy of the FHLB may change such that the current collateral pledged to secure the advances is no longer acceptable or the formulas for determining the excess pledged collateral may change. If this were to happen, the Bank may not have additional collateral to pledge to secure the existing advances which could cause the FHLB advances to become a liquidity problem during 2006.

     The Company anticipates that its liquidity requirements for 2006 will be similar to the cash flows it experienced in 2005.

     On July 26, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the extension of the stock repurchase program to February 25, 2007. The plan authorized HMN to repurchase up to 197,000 shares of its common stock in the open market and as of December 31, 2005, 197,000 shares remained authorized for repurchase.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Company has certain obligations and commitments to make future payments under existing contracts. At December 31, 2005, the aggregate contractual obligations (excluding bank deposits) and commercial commitments were as follows:

			Payments Due by Period
			Less than 1						After 5
(Dollars in thousands)	Total		Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		Years

Regulatory Capital Requirements

As a result of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA), banking and thrift regulators are required to take prompt regulatory action against institutions which are undercapitalized. FDICIA requires banking and thrift regulators to categorize institutions as “well capitalized”, “adequately capitalized”, “undercapitalized”, “significantly undercapitalized”, or “critically undercapitalized”. A savings institution will be deemed to be well capitalized if it: (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, (ii) has a Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, (iii) has a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and (iv) is not subject to any order or written directive by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2005, the Bank met all of the capital requirements to which it was subject and is well capitalized based on the regulatory definition described above. Refer to Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a table which reflects the Bank’s capital compared to its capital requirements.

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 its regulatory capital requirements, tax considerations, industry standards, economic conditions, regulatory restrictions, general business practices and other factors. Refer to Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on regulatory limitations on dividends from the Bank to the Company and additional information on dividends. The payment of dividends is dependent upon the Company having adequate cash or other assets that can be converted to cash to pay dividends to its stockholders. The Company does not anticipate a liquidity problem in 2006 relating to the payment of dividends.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R), which replaces FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registrants originally would have been required to adopt FAS 123R’s provisions at the beginning of their first interim period after June 15, 2005. On April 14, 2005, the SEC announced that registrants could delay adoption of FAS 123R’s provisions until the beginning of their next fiscal year. We adopted FAS 123R on January 1, 2006, using the “modified prospective” transition method. The scope of FAS 123R includes a wide range of stock-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee stock purchase plans. FAS 123R will require us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost must be recognized in the income statement over the vesting period of the award. Under the “modified prospective” transition method, awards that are granted, modified or settled beginning at the date of adoption will be measured and accounted for in accordance with FAS 123R. In addition, expense must be recognized in the statement of income for unvested awards that were granted prior to the date of adoption. The expense will be based on the fair value determined at the grant date. We anticipate that this expense will reduce 2006 earnings per share by approximately $0.01.

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 Asset/Liability Management section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis section 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

19

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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, 2005.

	Market Value
(Dollars in thousands)
Basis point change in interest rates	-200			-100			0			+100			+200
Total market risk sensitive assets	$	999,512			992,546			983,307			970,678			956,540
Total market risk sensitive liabilities		877,150			861,017			846,515			834,032			823,381
Off-balance sheet financial instruments		(16	)		(3	)		0			102			191
Net market risk	$	122,378			131,532			136,792			136,544			132,968
Percentage change from current market value		(10.54	)%		(3.85	)%		0.00	%		(0.18	)%		(2.80	)%

     The preceding table was prepared utilizing the following assumptions (the Model Assumptions) regarding prepayment and decay ratios that were determined by management based upon their review of historical prepayment speeds and future prepayment projections. Fixed rate loans were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 7% and 76%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 11% and 31%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Growing Equity Mortgage (GEM) loans were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 6% and 50% depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) were projected to have prepayments based upon the underlying collateral securing the instrument and the related cash flow priority of the CMO tranche owned. Certificate accounts were assumed not to be withdrawn until maturity. Passbook and money market accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 29%. Non-interest checking and NOW accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 15%. Commercial NOW and MMDA accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 32%. FHLB advances were projected to be called at the first call date where the projected interest rate on similar remaining term advances exceeded the interest rate on the callable advance. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on call provisions of the FHLB advances.

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

20

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, 2005 to determine if its current level of interest rate risk is acceptable. The following table projects the estimated impact on net interest income of immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks:

Rate Shock	Net Interest			Percentage
in Basis Points	Change			Change
+200	$	1,692,000			4.49	%
+100	$	1,011,000			2.68	%
0		0			0.00	%
-100	$	(2,262,000	)		(6.00	)%
-200	$	(4,855,000	)		(12.88	)%

     The preceding table was prepared utilizing the Model Assumptions. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the foregoing table. The ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of a substantial increase in interest rates and could impact net interest income.

     In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management closely monitors interest rate risk. The Company has an Asset/Liability Committee that meets frequently to discuss changes made to the interest rate risk position and projected profitability. The Committee makes adjustments to the asset-liability position of the Bank that are reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Bank. This Committee also reviews the Bank’s portfolio, formulates investment strategies and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Bank’s objectives in the most effective manner. In addition, the Board reviews on a quarterly basis 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 mix, the Bank may, at times, depending on the relationship between long and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, place more emphasis on managing net interest margin than on better matching the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities in an effort to enhance net interest income. Management believes that the increased net interest income resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of its asset and liability portfolios can, in certain situations, provide high enough returns to justify the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates.

     To the extent consistent with its interest rate spread objectives, the Bank attempts to manage its interest rate risk and has taken a number of steps to restructure its balance sheet in order to better match the maturities of its assets and liabilities. The Bank has primarily focused its fixed rate one-to-four family residential lending program on loans that are saleable to third parties and only places fixed rate loans that meet certain risk characteristics into its loan portfolio. The Bank does place into portfolio adjustable rate single-family loans that reprice over a one-year, three-year or five-year period. The Bank’s commercial loan production has primarily been in adjustable rate loans and the fixed rate commercial loans placed in portfolio have been shorter-term loans, usually with maturities of five years or less, in order to manage the Company’s interest rate risk exposure.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003

NOTE 1 Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) is a stock savings bank holding company that owns 100 percent of Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank). The Bank has a community banking philosophy and operates retail banking and loan production facilities in Minnesota and Iowa. The Bank has one wholly owned subsidiary, Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc. (OIA) which offers financial planning products and services. HMN has another wholly owned subsidiary, Security Finance Corporation (SFC) which acts as an intermediary for the Bank in transacting like-kind property exchanges for Bank customers. The Bank had three other subsidiaries that are no longer operating. Home Federal Holding, Inc. (HFH), a wholly owned subsidiary, was the holding company for Home Federal REIT, Inc. (HFREIT) which invested in real estate loans acquired from the Bank. HFH and HFREIT were both dissolved in 2005. Federal Title Services, LLC (FTS), which was 80% owned by the Bank, performed mortgage title services for Bank customers and was dissolved in 2004. Home Federal Mortgage Services, LLC (HFMS), which was 51% owned by the Bank, was a mortgage banking and mortgage brokerage business that was dissolved in 2003.

     The consolidated financial statements included herein are for HMN, SFC, the Bank and the Bank’s consolidated entities as described above. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights.

     Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the 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. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.

     Mortgage servicing rights are stratified by loan type and note rate and are valued quarterly by a third party using prepayment and default rate assumptions. While management believes that the assumptions used and the values determined are reasonable, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic conditions in the assumptions used to determine the value of the mortgage servicing rights.

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

Securities Securities are accounted for according to their purpose and holding period. The Company classifies its debt and equity securities in one of three categories:

      Trading Securities Securities held principally for resale in the near term are classified as trading securities and are recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in other income.

     Securities Held to Maturity Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost and adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Unrealized losses on securities held to maturity reflecting a decline in value judged to be other than temporary are charged to income and a new cost basis is established.

     Securities Available for Sale Securities available for sale consist of securities not classified as trading securities or as securities held to maturity. They include securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability strategy or that may be sold in response to changes in interest rate, changes in prepayment risk, or similar factors. Unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are determined using the specific identification method and recognized on the trade date. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. 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.

Loans Held for Sale Mortgage loans originated or purchased which are intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net fees and costs associated with acquiring and/or originating loans held for sale are deferred and included in the basis of the loan in determining the gain or loss on the sale of the loans. Gains are recognized on the settlement date. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loans Receivable, Net Loans receivable, net are considered long-term investments and, accordingly, are carried at amortized cost. Loan origination fees received, net of certain loan origination costs, are deferred as an adjustment to the carrying value of the related loans, and are amortized into income using the interest method over the estimated life of the loans.

     Premiums and discounts on 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 maintained at an amount considered adequate by management to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet dates. The allowance for loan losses is based on a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio. In this analysis, management considers factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences which include loan impairment, changes in the size of the portfolios, general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition and historical experience. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. The allowance for loan losses is established for known

26

problem loans, as well as for loans which are not currently known to require specific allowances. Loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is dependent upon management’s estimates of variables affecting valuation, appraisals of collateral, evaluations of performance and status, and the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. Such estimates, appraisals, evaluations and cash flows may be subject to frequent adjustments due to changing economic prospects of borrowers or properties. The estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments, if any, are recorded in the provision for loan losses in the periods in which the adjustments become known.

     Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis except when collectibility is in doubt. When loans are placed on a non-accrual basis, generally when the loan is 90 days past due, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed from income. Interest is subsequently recognized as income to the extent cash is received when, in management’s judgment, principal is collectible.

     All impaired loans are valued at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s initial effective interest rate. The fair value of the collateral of an impaired collateral-dependent loan or an observable market price, if one exists, may be used as an alternative to discounting. If the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment will be recognized through the allowance for loan losses. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include all loans which are delinquent as to principal and interest for 90 days or greater and all loans that are restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms. All portfolio loans are reviewed for impairment on an individual basis.

Mortgage Servicing Rights Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. The Company evaluates its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment each quarter. Loan type and note rate are the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans used to stratify capitalized mortgage servicing rights for purposes of measuring impairment. Any impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance.

Real Estate, Net Real estate acquired through loan foreclosures are initially recorded at the lower of the related loan balance, less any specific allowance for loss, or fair value less estimated selling costs. Valuations are reviewed quarterly by management and an allowance for losses is established if the carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value less estimated selling costs.

Premises and Equipment Land is carried at cost. Office buildings, improvements, furniture and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.

     Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years for office buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment.

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.

Investment in Limited Partnerships The Company has investments in limited partnerships that invest in low to moderate income housing projects that generate tax credits for the Company. The Company accounts for the earnings or losses from the limited partnerships on the equity method.

Intangible Assets Goodwill resulting from acquisitions is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Deposit base intangibles are amortized on an accelerated basis as the deposits run off. The Company reviews the recoverability of the carrying value of these assets annually or whenever an event occurs indicating that they may be impaired.

Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations which measure compensation cost using the intrinsic value method. See Note 16 for additional information relating to stock based compensation. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock based plan been determined in accordance with the fair value method recommended by SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income and earnings per share would have been adjusted to the following pro forma amounts:

	Year ended December 31,
	2005		2004		2003
Net income:
As reported	$	11,067,889		9,289,797		8,605,247
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects		54,619		37,822		44,935
Pro forma	$	11,013,270		9,251,975		8,560,312
Earnings per common share:
As reported:
Basic	$	2.89		2.40		2.26
Diluted		2.77		2.31		2.16
Pro forma:
Basic		2.88		2.39		2.25
Diluted		2.77		2.30		2.15

Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

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

27

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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. See Note 17 for disclosure of EPS calculations.

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

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

New Accounting Pronouncement On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R), which replaces FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registrants originally would have been required to adopt FAS 123R’s provisions at the beginning of their first interim period after June 15, 2005. On April 14, 2005, the SEC announced that registrants could delay adoption of FAS 123R’s provisions until the beginning of their next fiscal year. We adopted FAS 123R on January 1, 2006, using the “modified prospective” transition method. The scope of FAS 123R includes a wide range of stock-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee stock purchase plans. FAS 123R will require us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost must be recognized in the income statement over the vesting period of the award. Under the “modified prospective” transition method, awards that are granted, modified or settled beginning at the date of adoption will be measured and accounted for in accordance with FAS 123R. In addition, expense must be recognized in the statement of income for unvested awards that were granted prior to the date of adoption. The expense will be based on the fair value determined at the grant date. We anticipate that this expense will reduce 2006 earnings per share by approximately $0.01.

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 use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. Derivative financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and forward mortgage loan sales commitments. See Note 21 for additional information concerning these derivative financial instruments.

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

     The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows at December 31:

	2005		2004
Deferred tax assets:

Total gross deferred tax liabilities		2,543,400		2,812,300
Net deferred tax assets	$	2,544,400		1,012,700

     Retained earnings at December 31, 2005 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 has, in its judgment, made reasonable assumptions relating to the realization of deferred tax assets. Based upon these assumptions, the Company has determined that no valuation allowance is required with respect to the deferred tax assets.

NOTE 16 Employee Benefits

All eligible full-time employees of the Bank that were hired prior to 2002 were included in a noncontributory retirement plan sponsored by the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund (FIRF). Effective September 1, 2002 the Bank froze the accrual of benefits for existing participants and no new enrollments were permitted into the plan. The actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits and net assets available for benefits relating to the Bank’s employees is not available at December 31, 2005 because such information is not accumulated for each participating institution. As of June 30, 2005, the FIRF valuation report reflected that the Bank was obligated to make a contribution for the plan year ending June 30, 2005 totaling $205,744. The contribution was $83,355 in 2004 and $36,014 in 2003.

     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 Plan. Participants are permitted to make contributions to the 401(k) Plan equal to the lesser of 50% of the participant’s annual salary or the maximum allowed by law, which was $14,000 for 2005. The Company matches 25% of each participant’s contributions up to a maximum of 8% of the participant’s annual salary. Employee contributions above 8% are not matched by the Company. Participant contributions and earnings are fully and immediately vested. The Company’s contributions made prior to January 1, 2002 are vested on a five year cliff basis and contributions made after December 31, 2001 are vested on a three year cliff basis. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) plan are expensed when made and were $122,428, $118,665, and $113,843, in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     The Company has adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ESOP) that meets the requirements of Section (e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 407(d)(6) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) and, as such the ESOP is empowered to borrow in order to finance purchases of the common stock of HMN. The ESOP borrowed $6,085,770 from the Company to purchase 912,866 shares of common stock in the initial public offering of HMN. As a result of a merger with Marshalltown Financial Corporation (MFC), the ESOP borrowed $1,476,000 to purchase 76,933 shares of HMN common stock to provide the employees from MFC with an ESOP benefit. 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 loan including interest. The Company contributed $525,229, $526,552 and $525,224 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     As the debt is repaid, ESOP shares that were pledged as collateral for the debt are committed to be released from collateral and allocated to active employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in stockholders’ equity. As shares are determined to be ratably released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. ESOP compensation expense was $756,166, $670,112, and $472,108, respectively, for 2005, 2004 and 2003.

     All employees of the Bank are eligible to participate in the ESOP after they attain age 21 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:

	2005			2004			2003
Shares allocated to participants beginning of the year		270,884			275,588			245,031

     In June 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (1995 Plan). The 1995 Plan terminated on April 25, 2005, and options may no longer be granted from the plan. At December 31, 2005, there were 6,000 unvested and 118,000 vested options under the 1995 Plan that remained unexercised. The average exercise price of these options is $12.18. These options vest over a 5 year period and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

     In March 2001, the Company adopted the HMN Financial, Inc. 2001 Omnibus Stock Plan (2001 Plan). The purpose of the 2001 Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing key personnel with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and reward them for achieving a high level of corporate performance and thereby develop a stronger incentive to put forth maximum effort for the success and growth of the Company. The total number of shares of HMN common stock available for distribution under the 2001 Plan in either restricted stock or stock options was 400,000 subject to adjustment for future stock splits, stock dividends and similar changes to the capitalization of the Company. No more than 100,000 shares may be issued from the 2001 Plan as restricted stock.

     The fair value of options granted under the 2001 Plan were $3.59, $2.62, $2.10 and $2.10 for May 2005, July 2004, March 2004, and February 2004, respectively. A summary of activities under both plans for the past three years is as follows:

     The Company uses the intrinsic value method as described in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations to account for its stock incentive plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the option plans. Proceeds from stock options exercised are credited to common stock and additional paid-in capital. There are no charges or credits to expense with respect to the granting or exercise of options since the options were issued at fair value on the respective grant dates. The pro forma disclosure requirements under FAS No. 123, as amended, are included in Note 1.

     The fair value for each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using an option valuation model. The model incorporated the following assumptions:

	2005			2004
Risk-free interest rate		4.03	%		4.13	%
Expected life	9 years			9 years
Expected volatility		8.75	%		10.63	%

     On January 24, 2006 the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.24 per share payable on March 7, 2006, to stockholders of record on February 17, 2006. The annualized dividend payout ratios for 2005, 2004, and 2003 were 38.02%, 36.36%, and 39.58%, respectively.

     The Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock, but to date no shares have been issued.

     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 be decreased as the balance of eligible accountholders are reduced subsequent to the conversion, based on an annual determination of such balance.

     The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend to the Company without filing a capital distribution application with the OTS if the total amount of the dividends for the year exceeds the Bank’s net income for the year plus the Bank’s retained net income for the preceding two years. Additional limitations on dividends declared or paid on, or repurchases of, the Bank’s capital stock are tied to the Bank’s level of compliance with its regulatory capital requirements.

NOTE 19 Federal Home Loan Bank Investment and Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, is required to hold a specified number of shares of capital stock, which are carried at cost, in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. The Bank met this requirement at December 31, 2005.

     The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. 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 the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

     Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Tier I or Core capital, and Risk-based capital (as defined in the regulations) to total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

     Management believes that based upon the Bank’s capital calculations at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and other conditions consistent with the Prompt Corrective Actions provisions of the OTS regulations, the Bank would be categorized as well capitalized.

     At December 31, 2005 and 2004 the Bank’s capital amounts and ratios are also 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 Actions regulations:

NOTE 20 Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

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

     The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument 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.

1-4 family mortgages	$	3,850		3,723
Multi-family mortgages		0		12,000
Commercial real estate mortgages		19,835		26,593
Non-mortgage loans		21,243		26,435
Undisbursed balance of loans closed		75,465		100,772
Unused lines of credit		97,445		78,930
Letters of credit		10,158		7,025
Total commitments to extend credit	$	227,996		255,478
Forward commitments	$	4,691		6,433

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

     Forward commitments represents commitments to sell loans to FNMA and are entered into in the normal course of business by the Bank.

     The Bank entered into two guaranty agreements with third parties in 2001 in order for Home Federal Mortgage Services, LLC (HFMS) to secure loan purchase agreements. Under the agreements, the Bank guaranteed to satisfy and discharge all obligations of HFMS arising from transactions entered into between HFMS and the third parties if HFMS failed to fulfill its obligations. The agreements are in effect until the obligations of HFMS are fully satisfied and the Bank’s guaranty is limited to a combined maximum of $3 million. No liability has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Company for these guarantees and the Company is not aware of any outstanding obligations of HFMS to either of the third parties with whom a guarantee exists. HFMS was dissolved in 2003 and ceased doing business with both third parties in 2002. There is the possibility

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

that the Bank would be required to purchase loans that were previously sold to the third parties by HFMS prior to 2002 if the loans did not meet the requirements in the loan purchase agreements. If this were to occur, the proceeds from the subsequent sale of these loans would enable the Bank to recover a portion of the amounts paid under the guaranty.

     The Bank issued standby letters of credit which guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. The standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2005 expire over the next 21 months and totaled $1.7 million at December 31, 2005 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2004. The letters of credit were collateralized primarily with commercial real estate mortgages.Since the conditions under which the Bank is required to fund the standby letters of credit may not materialize, the cash requirements are expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments.

NOTE 21 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company originates and purchases single family residential loans for sale into the secondary market and enters into commitments to sell those loans in order to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with holding the loans until they are sold. The Company accounts for these commitments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

     The Company has 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 market value. As a result of marking these derivatives to market for the period ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded a decrease in other assets of $2,764, an increase in other liabilities of $15,769, and a net loss on the sale of loans of $18,533.

     As of December 31, 2005 the commitments to sell loans held for sale are derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, these derivatives are marked to market. The loans held for sale that are not hedged are recorded at the lower of cost or market. As a result of marking these loans, the Company recorded an increase in loans held for sale of $4,680 and a decrease in other assets of $4,680.

NOTE 22 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of 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, 2005 and 2004 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 are shown below. Following the table, there is an explanation of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

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

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

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

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

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its fair value.

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

Deposits Under SFAS No. 107, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity such as checking, savings and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using as discount rates the rates that were offered by the Company as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 for deposits with maturities similar to the remaining maturities of the existing certificates of deposit.

   The fair value estimate for deposits does not include the benefit that results from the low cost funding provided by the Company’s existing deposits and long-term customer relationships compared to the cost of obtaining different sources of funding. This benefit is commonly referred to as the core deposit intangible.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances The fair values of advances with fixed maturities are estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis using as discount rates the interest rates charged by the FHLB at December 31, 2005 and 2004 for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

Accrued Interest Payable The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature.

Commitments to Extend Credit The fair values of commitments to extend credit for 2005 and 2004 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 for 2005 and 2004 are estimated using the quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates and terms to maturity.

NOTE 24 Business Segments

The Bank has been identified as a reportable operating segment in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 131. SFC and HMN, the holding company, did not meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment and therefore are included in the “Other” category.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segment’s net income, return on average assets and return on average equity. Each corporation is managed separately with its own officers and board of directors.

     The following table sets forth certain information about the reconciliations of reported net income and assets for each of the Company’s reportable segments.
