                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Plan Administrator
Home Federal Savings Bank
  Employee's Savings and Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for 
benefits of the Home Federal Savings Bank Employees' Savings and Profit
Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related 
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the 
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996. These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, 
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan 
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for 
benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets 
held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for 
the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic 
financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the 
Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under 
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in 
the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of 
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental 
schedules and fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures 
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, 
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                  EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS & PROFIT SHARING PLAN
                        Notes to Financial Statements
                         December 31, 1996 and 1995

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
     basis of accounting.

     CUSTODIAN OF INVESTMENTS
     Mellon Bank, N.A. is the trustee and custodian of all Plan assets.

     PLAN ADMINISTRATION
     Home Federal Savings Bank (the Company) is the administrator of the Plan
     and Pentegra Services, Inc. performs the participant accounting.

     VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
     Investments are stated at their approximate fair market value. 
     Investments in mutual funds of comingled trusts are valued using daily
     net asset value calculations performed by the funds and published by the
     National Association of Securities Dealers.  Investments in common stock
     are valued at the quoted market price.  Participant notes are valued at
     cost which approximates fair value.

     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. 
     Net realized gains or losses are recognized by the Plan upon the sale of
     its investments or portions thereof on the basis of a first-in, first-
     out flow assumption.

     COSTS AND EXPENSES
     Asset management fees are deducted from the individual funds as they are
     incurred.  Administrative expenses totaling $7,511 and $4,646 were paid
     by the Company in 1996 and 1995 respectively.

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

(2)  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following description of the Plan provides only general information. 
     Participants should refer to the Summary Plan Description for more
     complete information.

     GENERAL
     The Plan is a defined contribution plan, qualified under section 401(a)
     of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan includes 401(k) provisions which
     allow participants to direct the Company to contribute a portion of
     their compensation to the Plan on a pretax basis through payroll
     deductions.  The Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

     Company employees are eligible to participate in the Plan after one year
     of continuous service of 1,000 hours or more and upon reaching 21 years
     of age.

<PAGE>

     FUNDING POLICY
     Since August 1, 1996, participants have had the ability to contribute  
     up to 12% of their monthly compensation on a pretax basis to the Plan.
     The maximum monthly contribution prior to this date was 8% of their
     compensation. Participant contributions are subject to the Internal
     Revenue Service maximum annual limits of $9,500 during 1996 and $9,240
     during 1995 and 1994.  The Company matches 25% of each participant's
     contributions up to a maximum of 8% of compensation.

     The Company may, in its sole discretion, contribute to the Plan an
     amount to be determined from year to year (the Non-Elective
     Contribution).  Such contributions would be allocated to the accounts of
     participants in the ratio that each participant's compensation for the
     plan year bears to the total compensation of all participants for the
     plan year.  There were no such contributions during 1996, 1995, or 1994.

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
     Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
     contribution and allocations of the Company's contribution and Plan
     earnings.  Allocations are based on participant contributions or account
     balances, as defined.

     VESTING
     Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and the
     Company's contributions, plus actual earnings thereon.

     PARTICIPANT LOANS
     Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up
     to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their
     account balance.  Loan terms range from 1-5 years, except loans used to
     purchase a primary residence may have a term up to 15 years.  All loans
     are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear
     interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as
     determined by the Plan administrator.  Principal and interest payments
     must be made monthly.

     DISTRIBUTIONS
     Upon termination of employment for any reason the participant's account
     balance becomes fully payable.

     PARTICIPATING EMPLOYERS
     The Company is a member of a controlled group of corporations as defined
     in Section 414(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.  No members of the group
     other than the Company participated in the Plan during 1995.  The
     contributions to the Plan for each employer participating in the Plan
     during 1996 were as follows:

                                      Employer       Employee     Rollover

(3)  PLAN TERMINATION

     The Company, by action of its board of directors, may terminate the
     Plan.  All participants at the time of such termination shall be 100%
     vested in their accounts and shall be entitled to a benefit equal to the
     value of their accounts as determined as of the valuation date following
     termination.

(7)  INCOME TAX STATUS

   The Internal Revenue Service determined and informed the Company by a
   letter dated May 11, 1994, that the Plan and related trust, as then
   designed, were in compliance with the provisions of 401(a) of the
   Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and were thereby exempt from federal income
   taxes under Section 501(a) of the code.  The Plan has been amended in its
   entirety since receiving the determination letter.  However, the Plan
   administrator and the third party administrator believe that the Plan is
   designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable
   requirements of the IRC.  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has
   been included in the Plan's financial statements.  

<PAGE>
   An employee's pretax contributions under the Plan will reduce the
   participant's taxable income for federal and state income tax purposes. 
   Each participant's portion of earnings from investments made with
   contributions under the Plan, generally, are not taxable until
   distributed or withdrawn.

(8)  PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

   The Plan engages in investment transactions involving the acquisition or
   disposition of HMN Financial, Inc. common stock.  HMN Financial, Inc. is
   the holding company of Home Federal Savings Bank and is a party-in-
   interest.  These transactions are covered by an exemption from the
   "prohibited transactions" provisions of ERISA and the IRC.

(9)  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

   Effective January 1, 1997, the Plan was amended to allow company
   employees to participate in the Plan after one month of employment and
   the attainment of age 21.  Participant vesting in the Company's
   contribution was also changed to a five year cliff vesting schedule for
   all employees hired after January 1, 1997.

   Effective June 17, 1997, The Bank of New York was designated by the Plan
   Administrator to serve as the Trustee of the Plan.
