                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)

                           September 30, 1997 and 1996

(1)  HMN FINANCIAL, INC.

The consolidated financial statements included herein are for HMN Financial
Inc. (HMN), Security Finance Corporation (SFC), HMN Mortgage Services, Inc.,
Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank) and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary,
Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  

(2)  BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all
disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance
sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of
stockholders' equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.  However, all adjustments
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial
statements have been included.  The statements of income for the three month
period and nine month period ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.
     
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have
been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. 

(3)  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE.  SFAS No.
128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS)
and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common
stock.  The Statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share
previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, EARNINGS PER SHARE, and makes them
comparable to international EPS standards.  It replaces the presentation of
primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.  It also requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for
all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of
the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and
denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  

Basic 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 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
then shared in the earnings of the entity.  Diluted EPS is computed similarly
to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB Opinion No. 15.  The Statement is
effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15,
1997.  In 1997, under SFAS No. 128, basic EPS differed from primary EPS by
$(0.01) to $0.03 per share and diluted EPS was equal to or $(0.01) per share
less than fully diluted EPS.  When similar comparisons were made from 

                                        7

<PAGE>
the basic EPS and diluted EPS calculations to previously reported year-to-date
primary EPS and fully diluted EPS, the basic EPS calculations for the same
periods ranged from $0.00 to $0.07 per share greater than primary EPS and
diluted EPS for the same periods ranged from $0.00 to $0.01 per share greater
than fully diluted EPS.      

In July 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
which establishes standards of disclosure and financial statement display for
reporting total comprehensive income and the individual components thereof. 
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) of a
business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
circumstances from nonowner sources.  It includes all changes in equity during
a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners.  As used in SFAS No. 130, the term comprehensive income thus
encompasses net income.  The term OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME refers to
components of comprehensive income that are excluded from net income under
generally accepted accounting principles.  Comprehensive income may be
presented in any of the following financial statements:  in a separate
statement of comprehensive income; in a statement of changes in equity; or
below the total of net income or loss in the income statement.  SFAS No. 130 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier
application permitted.  Comparative statements for previous years must be
reclassified, although reclassification adjustments are not required to be
shown for such earlier periods.  Management will be adopting SFAS No. 130 on
January 1, 1998 and will report comprehensive income in statements issued after
that date.

In July 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN
ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION which establishes new standards for
determining a reportable segment and for disclosing information regarding each
such segment.  The amount of each segment item reported should be 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
should be included in determining reported segment profit or loss only 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 is used by the chief operating
decision maker should be reported for that segment.  SFAS No. 131 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application
encouraged.  Management is currently studying the impact of adopting SFAS No.
131.

(4) SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY

During the first quarter of 1997, HMN determined that it no longer had the
intent to hold its securities classified as held to maturity to the actual
maturity date of the securities.  Therefore, it sold one security and on March
31, 1997 it transferred all the remaining securities in the held to maturity
portfolio to the available for sale portfolio.  The following information
summarizes the sale and transfer of the securities held to maturity during

(5)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Primary earnings per common share and common share equivalents for the three
month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were computed by dividing net
income (loss) for each period ($1,524,111 and $(144,527), respectively) by the
weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding
(3,972,494 and 4,185,867, respectively) during each period.  Fully diluted
earnings per common share and common share equivalents for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were computed by dividing net income (loss)
for the period ($1,524,111 and $(144,527), respectively) by the weighted
average common shares and fully diluted common share equivalents outstanding
(3,975,798 and 4,185,867, respectively) during each period.  

Primary earnings per common share and common share equivalents for the nine
month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were computed by dividing net
income for each period ($4,330,810 and $2,975,248, respectively) by the
weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding
(3,938,454 and 4,509,942, respectively) during each period.  Fully diluted
earnings per common share and common share equivalents for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were computed by dividing net income for the
period ($4,330,810 and $2,975,248, respectively) by the weighted average common
shares and fully diluted common share equivalents outstanding (3,977,962  and
4,516,499, respectively) during each period.  

(6) SAIF ASSESSMENT

On September 30, 1996, President Clinton signed the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF) legislation in order to recapitalize the SAIF.  The
Bank's assessment by the SAIF was a one time charge of $2,351,563.  The impact
of the assessment reduced earnings for 1996 by approximately $1.5 million after
tax.

(7) REGULATORY CAPITAL

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 HMN'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.


                                        9
<PAGE>

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
on the following page) of Tangible, Core, and Risk-based capital (as defined in
the regulations) to total assets (as defined).  At September 30, 1997
management is of the opinion that the Bank meets all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.

Management believes that based upon the Bank's capital calculations at
September 30, 1997 and other conditions consistent with the Prompt Corrective
Actions Provisions of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations, the
Bank would be categorized as well capitalized.

At September 30, 1997 the Bank's capital amounts and ratios are presented for
actual capital, required capital, and excess capital including amounts and
ratios in order to qualify as being well capitalized under the Prompt
Corrective Actions regulations:

(8) STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
           
During January of 1997, with Board authorization and approval from the Office of
Thrift Supervision (OTS), HMN purchased a total of 224,334 shares of its own 
common stock from the open market for $4.1 million.  All shares were placed in 
treasury stock.    

On June 30, 1997, HMN announced its intention to purchase up to 300,000 shares 
of its own common stock in the open market over the next twelve month period.

(9) PENDING ACQUISITION

       On July 1, 1997, HMN Financial, Inc. and Marshalltown Financial 
Corporation (MFC), the thrift holding company for Marshalltown Savings Bank, 
FSB, entered into a definitive agreement to merge.  Under the agreement, HMN 
will acquire in a cash transaction valued at $25.9 million, or $17.51 per 
share, all outstanding shares of MFC's common stock.  The agreement is subject
to regulatory approvals, a process that is expected to be completed by 
November 30, 1997.   At September 30, 1997, MFC's consolidated balance sheet had
total assets of $125.5 million of which $66.2 million were in loans receivable, 
net and $52.6 million were investment securities or mortgage-backed securities.
MFC's deposits totaled $103.7 million and stockholders' equity totaled $20.3 
million.

                               HMN FINANCIAL, INC.
 
Item 2:               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

    HMN's net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is
    the difference between interest earned on its loans and investments and the
    interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income is
    determined by (i) the difference between the yield earned on interest-
    earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate
    spread) and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and 
    interest-bearing liabilities.  HMN's interest rate spread is affected by 
    regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, 
    loan demand and deposit flows.  Net interest margin is calculated by 
    dividing net interest income by the average interest-earning assets and is 
    normally expressed as a percentage. 
    Net interest income and net interest margin are affected by changes in
    interest rates, the volume and the mix of interest-earning assets and
    interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets.  HMN's
    net income is also affected by the generation of non-interest income, which
    primarily consists of gains from the sale of securities, fees and service
    charges.  In addition, net income is affected by the level of operating
    expenses and establishment of a provision for loan losses.

    The operations of financial institutions, including the Bank, are
    significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition and 
    the monetary and fiscal policies of governmental agencies.  Lending 
    activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, 
    competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability
    of funds.  Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing 
    market rates of interest primarily on competing investments, account 
    maturities and the levels of personal income and savings in the market area
    of the Bank.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

    HMN's net income for the third quarter of 1997 was $1.5 million, or $0.38
    primary earnings per share, an increase of $1.67 million, compared to a net
    loss of $(145,000), or $(0.03) primary loss per share for the same quarter 
    of 1996.  In September of 1996, Congress enacted the Savings Association
    Insurance Fund (SAIF) legislation in order to recapitalize the SAIF.  The
    Bank's one time charge was $2.4 million.  The Bank's total SAIF assessment 
    was charged directly to earnings and reduced quarterly earnings by $1.5 
    million after tax, or $0.34 primary earnings per share.  If the SAIF 
    legislation had not passed, net income for the third quarter of 1996 would 
    have been $1.3 million, or $0.31 primary earnings per share.  Non-interest 
    income for the third quarter of 1997 was up $466,000 primarily due to gains
    recognized on the sale of securities and loans and was partially offset by a
    $186,000 increase in non-interest expense primarily related to 
    compensation and benefits.  Net income for the nine month period ended 
    September 30, 1997 was $4.33 million, or $1.10 primary earnings per share, 
    an increase of $1.35 million from $2.98 million, or $0.66 primary earnings 
    per share. The SAIF assessment in September of 1996 had the impact of 
    decreasing net income for the nine months then 
                                      12
<PAGE>

    ended by $1.5 million after tax, or $0.32 primary earnings per share.  If 
    the SAIF legislation had not passed, net income for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1996 would have been $4.5 million or $0.98 primary earnings 
    per share.  Non-interest income for the nine month period ended September 
    30, 1997 was up $384,000 primarily due to gains recognized on the sale of 
    loans and was totally offset by a $460,000 net increase in non-interest 
    expense primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits.  

NET INTEREST INCOME

    Net interest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $3.85 million, an
    increase of $27,000 compared to $3.82 million for the same quarter of 1996. 
    Interest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $10.3 million, an increase
    of $300,000, or 3.0%, compared to $10.0 million for the same quarter of 
    1996. 
    The increase in interest income was primarily due to the purchase of loans
    that were partially funded by the sale of lower yielding investment 
    securities or advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).  Interest 
    income increased by $293,000 due to an increase in the size of the loan 
    portfolio, and it increased by $185,000 due to an increase of the yield 
    earned on the loan portfolio.  The increase in interest income was 
    partially offset by a $97,000 decrease in interest income earned on the 
    security portfolio due to a decrease in the average portfolio size and a 
    decrease in yield.  Interest expense for the third quarter of 1997 was
    $6.5 million, an increase of $273,000, or 4.4%,  compared to $6.2 million 
    for the third quarter of 1996.  The increase in interest expense was 
    primarily due to an $18.0 million increase in the average outstanding 
    advances from the FHLB for the third quarter of 1997 compared to the same
    quarter of 1996.   

    Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $11.6
    million, a decrease of $136,000, or 1.2%, compared to $11.7 million for the
    same nine month period of 1996.  Interest income for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1997 was $30.4 million, an increase of $630,000, or 2.1%,
    compared to $29.8 million for the same nine month period of 1996.  The
    increase in interest income was primarily due to the purchase of loans that
    were partially funded by the sale of lower yielding investment securities or
    advances from the FHLB.  Interest income increased by $1.5 million due to an
    increase in the size of the loan portfolio and it increased by $189,000 due
    to an increase of the yield earned on the loan portfolio.  The increase in
    interest income was partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in interest
    earned on the security portfolio primarily due to a decrease in the average
    portfolio size.  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 
    1997 was $18.8 million, an increase of $766,000, or 4.3%, compared to $18.0 
    million for the same nine month period of 1996.  The increase in interest 
    expense was primariy due to a $25.0 million increase in the average 
    outstanding advances from the FHLB for the nine month period of 1997 
    compared to the same period of 1996.  The majority of the funds received 
    from the FHLB advances were used to purchase the net increase in interest-
    earning assets, facilitate the HMN stock repurchases, and purchase loan 
    servicing assets.    
                                             
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

    The provision for loan losses for the third quarters ended September 30, 
    1997 and 1996 were both $75,000.  The provision for loan losses for the 
    nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were both $225,000.  The 
    provision is the result of management's

                                       13
<PAGE>

    evaluation of the loan portfolio, a historically low level of non-performing
    loans, minimal loan charge-off experience, and its assessment of the general
    economic conditions in the geographic area where properties securing the 
    loan portfolio are located.  Management's evaluation did not reveal 
    conditions that would cause it to increase the provision for loan losses 
    during 1997 compared to 1996.  Future economic conditions and other unknown 
    factors will impact the need for future provisions for loan losses.  
    As a result, no assurances can be given that increases in the allowance for 
    loan losses will not be required during future periods.     

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, HMN incurred the
    following charge-offs on its loan portfolio:

                                   1997          1996

     The charge-offs were anticipated and resulted in the removal of the 
     properties from the loan portfolio. 

     A reconciliation of HMN's allowance for loan losses is summarized as 
     follows:

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income was $879,000 for the third quarter of 1997, an increase
     of $467,000, or 113%, compared to $412,000 for the third quarter of 1996.  
     The increase was principally due to a $295,000 increase in gain on the sale
     of securities and a $107,000  increase in gain on sale of loans.  Economic
     and certain market conditions allowed HMN to sell securities at a gain 
     during the third quarter of 1997. Those same conditions were not in
     existence during the third quarter of 1996.  The increase in the gain on 
     sale of loans was partly due to the economic and market conditions and
     also an increase in mortgage banking activity for the third quarter of 
     1997, compared to the same quarter of 1996.  

     Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $2.0
     million, an increase of $384,000, or 24%, compared to $1.6 million for the
     nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The increase was principally due to 
     a $317,000 increase in gain on the sale of loans, a $64,000 increase in 
     fees and service charges and a $92,000 increase in other income.  The 
     increase in non-interest income was partially offset by a $90,000 decrease
     in gain on sale of securities. 
                                       14

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest expense was $2.2 million for the third quarter of 1997, a
     decrease of $2.2 million from $4.4 million for the third quarter of 1996. 
     The majority of the decrease in non-interest expense was due to a $2.4 
     million special one time SAIF assessment that occurred in September of 
     1996 and a related $155,000 decrease in 1997 SAIF insurance premiums.  The 
     decrease in quarterly non-interest expense was partially offset by a 
     $256,000 increase in compensation and benefits expense and a $42,000 
     increase in occupancy expense. During 1997, HMN increased its mortgage 
     banking activities which required additional staff and increased occupancy
     expense.  A portion of the increase in compensation and benefits expense is
     due to a net increase of 21 employees from the third quarter of 1996 to the
     third quarter of 1997 and the remainder is the result of normal merit and 
     salary increases.    

     Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $6.5
     million, a  decrease of $1.9 million, or 23%, from $8.4 million for the 
     nine months ended September 30, 1996. The majority of the decrease in non-
     interest expense was due to a $2.4 million special one time SAIF assessment
     that occurred in September of 1996 and a related $461,000 decrease in 1997
     SAIF insurance premiums.  The decrease in non-interest expense was 
     partially offset by a $726,000 increase in compensation and benefits 
     expense and a $124,000 increase in occupancy expense.  During 1997, HMN 
     increased its mortgage banking activities which required additional staff 
     and increased occupancy expense.  A portion of the increase in compensation
     is due to a net increase in employees during 1997 and the remainder is the
     result of normal merit and salary increases.  

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

     Income tax expense was $901,000 for the third quarter of 1997, an increase 
     of $990,000  from a tax benefit of $90,000 for the third quarter of 1996 
     and is primarily due to an increase in taxable income.  Income tax expense
     for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $2.6 million, an increase 
     of $784,000, or 44%, from $1.8 million for the same period in 1996 and is
     primarily due to an increase in taxable income.
                                        
LIQUIDITY

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the net cash provided from
     operating activities was $12.3 million and net cash used by investing
     activities was $19.6 million.  For the same period, HMN had $63.4 million 
     in proceeds from the sale of securities and it collected another $39.4 
     million from principal payments and the maturity of securities.  HMN 
     purchased $95.1 million of securities during the first nine months of 1997.
     HMN also received proceeds from the sale of loans of $29.0 million and 
     purchased or originated additional net loans of $51.7 million.  During the
     first nine months of 1997, HMN purchased an additional interest in a 
     mortgage servicing partnership for $1.9 million and purchased $400,000 in 
     mortgage servicing assets.  It invested $500,000 in a partnership which 
     invests in the stock of other financial institutions.  The Bank purchased 
     $803,000 of FHLB stock in order to meet its stock requirement under its 
     membership agreement.  It also invested $963,000 in premises and 
     equipment.  During the first nine months of 1997, deposits increased by 
     $4.2 million and Federal Home Loan Bank 

                                       15

     advances showed a net increase of $5.9 million.  During January 1997, HMN 
     also  repurchased 224,334 shares of its own common stock for $4.1 million.

     *HMN has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $183.8 
     million maturing during the next 12 months. Based upon past experience,
     management anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for the
     same or similar terms.  Any funds lost from deposits which do not renew 
     will be replaced with deposits from other customers, advances from the FHLB
     , or the sale of securities.  Management does not anticipate that it will 
     have a liquidity problem resulting from maturing deposits.

     *HMN has entered into an agreement to purchase all of the outstanding 
     stock of Marshalltown Financial Corporation, a unitary thrift holding 
     company, for $25.9 million in cash.  On November 7, 1997 the transaction 
     was approved by the stockholders of Marshalltown Financial Corporation. 
     The Office of Thrift Supervision must approve the transaction.  It is 
     currently reviewing the proposed transaction and should render its opinion
     by the end of November. 

     HMN expects to fund the purchase of the Marshalltown stock from the 
     proceeds of the sale of securities available for sale or by additional 
     FHLB advances.  
     

     *HMN is in the process of building two new retail banking facilities in 
     Spring Valley and Winona, Minnesota, at an estimated aggregate cost of $3.2
     million. Occupancy is scheduled for the second and third quarter of 1998 
     and construction funding will come from normal cash flows or the sale of
     securities.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     *HMN's management reviews the impact that changing interest rates will 
     have on its net interest income projected for the twelve months following 
     September 30, 1997 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 and 
     does not include the projected net interest income from the merger with 
     Marshalltown Financial Corporation.

HMN continues to focus its fixed-rate one-to-four family residential loan 
program on loans with contractual terms of 20 years or less.  HMN also 
originates and purchases adjustable rate mortgages which have initial fixed-rate
terms of one to five years and then adjust annually each year thereafter.

(1) Schedule prepared based upon the earlier of contractual maturity or 
repricing date, if applicable, adjusted for scheduled repayments of principal 
and projected prepayments of principal based upon experience.
(2) Loans receivable are presented net of loans in process and deferred loan 
fees.
(3) Construction and development loans are all one-to-four family loans and
therefore have been included in the fixed rate one-to-four family and adjustable
rate one-to-four family lines.

The preceding table was prepared utilizing the following assumptions regarding
prepayment and decay ratios which 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 5% to 24%,
depending on the coupon and period to maturity.  Adjustable Rate Mortgages
(ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 3% and 12%, depending
on coupon and the period to maturity.  Growing Equity Mortgage (GEM) loans were
assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 8% and 27% depending on the coupon
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.  Certificate accounts were
assumed not to be withdrawn until maturity.  Passbook and money market accounts
were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 20%.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the
foregoing table.  Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar
maturities and periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to
changes in market interest rates.  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.  Certain assets, such as ARMs, have
features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and
over the life of the asset.  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 an interest rate
increase.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The following statements within Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations contain forward-looking
statements and actual results may differ materially from the expectations
disclosed within this Discussion and Analysis.  These forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed
below.  The Company assumes no obligation to publicly release results of any
revision or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect future
events or unanticipated occurrences.

     LIQUIDITY
  
  -  HMN has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $183.8
     million maturing during the next 12 months.  Based upon past experience,
     management anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for
     the same or similar terms.  Any funds lost from deposits which do not
     renew will be replaced with deposits from other customers, advances from
     the FHLB, or the sale of securities.  Management does not anticipate that
     it will have a liquidity problem resulting from maturing deposits.  

     Competitive pricing by other institutions, the desire of a competitor to
     pay interest rates on deposits that are above the current rates paid by
     HMN, or a desire by customers to put more of their funds into
     nontraditional bank products such as stocks and bonds could be
     circumstances that would cause the $183.8 million of certificates that
     mature to become a liquidity problem.

  -  HMN has entered into an agreement to purchase all of the outstanding stock
     of Marshalltown Financial Corporation, a unitary thrift holding company,
     for $25.9 million 
                                       20
  
<PAGE>
     in cash.  On November 7, 1997 the transaction was approved by the
     stockholders of Marshalltown Financial Corporation.  The Office of Thrift
     Supervision must approve the transaction.  It is currently reviewing the
     proposed transaction and should render its opinion by the end of November. 
     HMN expects to fund the purchase of the Marshalltown stock from the
     proceeds of the sale of securities available for sale or by additional
     FHLB advances.   

     OTS approval may not be received by November 30, 1997 due to some
     unforeseen regulatory issue.  

     The funding for the purchase of Marshalltown may not come from the sale of
     securities if the market value of the securities decrease drastically from
     the current market value at September 30, 1997.  Changes in economic
     conditions could cause interest rates to rise rapidly which could cause a
     drastic decrease in the market value of the security portfolio. 

  -  HMN is in the process of building two new retail banking facilities in
     Spring Valley and Winona, Minnesota, at an estimated aggregate cost of
     $3.2 million.  Occupancy is scheduled for the second or third quarter of
     1998 and construction funding will come from normal cash flows or the sale
     of securities.   

     The anticipated occupancy date could change based upon delays experienced
     by the contractors for the delivery of construction materials or weather
     related issues could cause the occupancy date for Spring Valley and Winona
     to be later in 1998. The funding for the construction may not come from
     normal cash flows but may be funded either by selling securities or
     advances from the FHLB.

  ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

  -  HMN's management reviews the impact that changing interest rates will have
     on its net interest income projected for the twelve months following
     September 30, 1997 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 and
     does not include the projected net interest income of Marshalltown
     Financial Corporation.

     Rate Shock   Net Interest   Percentage      Board
   in Basis Points   Income        Change        Limit 
        +200         13,598        -7.28%       -30.00%
        +100         14,248        -2.84%       -15.00%
          0          14,665         0.00%        0.00%
        -100         15,069         2.75%       -15.00%
        -200         15,304         4.36%       -30.00%
  
     The table above is forward-looking and is only an estimate of the
     potential impact that changing rates will have on net interest income. 
     The actual new loan activity originated or purchased and security
     purchases along with actual deposit and borrowing activity could cause the
     actual net interest income for the twelve month period to be materially
     different from the net interest income projected above.  The anticipated
     merger of Marshalltown Financial Corporation will increase interest-
     earning assets by approximately $120 million and interest-bearing
     liabilities by approximately $100 million.  The increases mentioned above
     will have an impact on HMN's net interest income and the related projected
     impact of rate shocks on net interest income.

                   RESOLUTION TO AMEND BY-LAWS
                     RESOLUTION #HMN9709-01
                       SEPTEMBER 23, 1997

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors, after consultation with counsel,
has considered various amendments to the By-Laws of the
Corporation; and

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that increasing the time period
required for notice by stockholders of nominations for directors
and the submission of stockholder proposals would help assure
that all stockholders will have adequate information and
sufficient time to consider proposals advanced by stockholders or
stockholder nominees, will give the Board of Directors sufficient
time to evaluate nominees and proposals and include its
recommendations in its proxy statement and will assist the
Corporation in effecting orderly stockholders meetings;

WHEREAS, given that the Corporation's main business is effected
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Home Federal Savings Bank,
and that the principal business of Home Federal Savings Bank is
conducted through full service branch offices which specialize in
meeting the needs of its customers in local communities;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors believes that requiring directors
to be primarily domiciled in the counties where Home Federal
Savings Bank has full service branch offices will benefit the
Corporation by ensuring that the directors of the Corporation are
knowledgeable of and actively involved in the Corporation's
primary market areas and should not unreasonably infringe on or
impede the ability of the Corporation and its stockholders to
identify and recruit qualified candidates for the Board of
Directors;

WHEREAS, the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation expressly
empowers the Board to adopt, amend or repeal the By-Laws of the
Corporation; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors believes that amending the By-
Laws consistent with the foregoing recitals will be in the best
interests of the Corporation and its stockholders as a whole.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the By-Laws of the
Corporation be restated in the form reviewed and approved by the
Board and that a copy of the Restated By-Laws be included with
the minutes of this meeting and the corporate records of the
Corporation.

RESOLVED FURTHER, that the officers of the Corporation, or any
one of them, are hereby authorized to take such further action in
connection with the adoption of such Restated By-Laws as they, or
any one of them, deem necessary or advisable, including any
necessary or advisable filings with the Security and Exchange
Commission or the Office of Thrift Supervision.

                            ARTICLE I

                          STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.     ANNUAL MEETING.

     An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of
directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the
transaction of such other business as may properly come before
the meeting, shall be held at such place, on such date, and at
such time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix, which
date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later
of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of
stockholders.

Section 2.     SPECIAL MEETINGS.

     Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series
of preferred stock of the Corporation, special meetings of
stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Board
of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of
the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if
there were no vacancies on the Board of Directors (hereinafter
the "Whole Board").

Section 3.     NOTICE OF MEETINGS.

     Written notice of the place, date, and time of all meetings
of the stockholders shall be given, not less than ten (10) nor
more than sixty (60) days before the date on which the meeting is
to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting,
except as otherwise provided herein or required by law (meaning,
here and hereinafter, as required from time to time by the
Delaware General Corporation Law or the Certificate of
Incorporation of the Corporation).

     When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time,
written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the
place, date and time thereof are announced at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the
date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after
the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a
new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written
notice of the place, date and time of the adjourned meeting shall
be given in conformity herewith. At any adjourned meeting, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at
the original meeting.

Section 4.     QUORUM.

     At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a
majority of all of the shares of the stock entitled to vote at
the meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a
quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the extent that the
presence of a larger number may be required by law. Where a
separate vote by a class or classes is required, a majority of
the shares of such class or classes, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take
action with respect to that vote on that matter.

     If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman
of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares of
stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy,
may adjourn the meeting to another place, date or time.

     If a notice of any adjourned special meeting of stockholders
is sent to all stockholders entitled to vote thereat, stating
that it will be held with those present constituting a quorum,
then except as otherwise required by law, those present at such
adjourned meeting shall constitute a quorum, and all matters
shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast at such
meeting.

Section 5.     ORGANIZATION.

     Such person as the Board of Directors may have designated
or, in the absence of such a person, the President of the
Corporation or, in his or her absence, such person as may be
chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to
vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order
any meeting of the stockholders and act as chairman of the
meeting. In the absence of the Secretary of the Corporation, the
secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the chairman
appoints.

Section 6.     CONDUCT OF BUSINESS.

          (a)  The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall
determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting,
including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct
of discussion as seem to him or her in order.

          (b)  At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only
such business shall be conducted as shall have been brought
before the meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is
entitled to vote with respect thereto and who complies with the
notice procedures set forth in this Section 6(b). For business to
be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder,
the BUSINESS MUST RELATE TO A PROPER SUBJECT MATTER FOR
STOCKHOLDER ACTION AND THE stockholder must have given timely
notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To
be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered or mailed to
and received at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not less than NINETY (90) days prior to the date of
the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that
less than ONE HUNDRED (100) days' notice or prior public
disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to
stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be
received not later than the close of business on the 10th day
following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual
meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, WHICHEVER
OCCURS FIRST.  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT OF AN
ADJOURNMENT OF AN ANNUAL MEETING COMMENCE A NEW TIME PERIOD FOR
THE GIVING OF A STOCKHOLDER'S NOTICE. A stockholder's notice to
the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter such stockholder
proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a brief
description of the business desired to be brought before the
annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at
the annual meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on
the Corporation's books, of the stockholder who proposed such
business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the
Corporation's capital stock that are beneficially owned by such
stockholder and (iv)A DESCRIPTION OF ALL ARRANGEMENTS OR
UNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN SUCH STOCKHOLDER AND ANY OTHER PERSON OR
PERSONS (INCLUDING THEIR NAMES) IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSAL
OF SUCH BUSINESS BY SUCH STOCKHOLDER AND any material interest of
such BUSINESS, AND (V) A REPRESENTATION THAT SUCH STOCKHOLDER
INTENDS TO APPEAR IN PERSON OR BY PROXY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING TO
BRING SUCH BUSINESS BEFORE THE MEETING.  Notwithstanding anything
in these By-laws to the contrary, no business shall be brought
before or conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 6(b). The officer of the
Corporation or other person presiding over the annual meeting
shall, if the facts so warrant, determine and declare to the
meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(b) and, if he
should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any
such business so determined to be not properly brought before the
meeting shall not be transacted.  At any special meeting of the
stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have
been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the
Board of Directors.

          (c)  Only persons who are nominated in accordance with
the procedures set forth in these By- laws shall be eligible for
election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the
Board of Directors of the Corporation may be made at a meeting of
stockholders at which directors are to be elected only (i) by or
at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any
stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote for the election
of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice
procedures set forth in this Section 6(c). Such nominations,
other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors, shall be made by timely notice in writing to the
Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's
notice shall be delivered or mailed to and received at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than
NINETY (90) days prior to the date of the meeting; provided,
however, that in the event that less than ONE HUNDRED (100) days'
notice or prior disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or
made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must
be so received not later than the close of business on the 10th
