          First Bankers Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee of the ESOP, may be
          deemed under applicable regulations to "beneficially" own the shares
          held by the ESOP which have not been allocated to participants. 
          However, the Trustee expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the
          shares held by the ESOP. 
                                         
          Pursuant to the terms of the ESOP,  participants in the ESOP are
          entitled to instruct the Trustee of the ESOP as to the voting of the
          shares allocated to their accounts.  The Trustee is required to vote
          the shares held by the ESOP which have not been allocated to specific
          accounts on each issue with respect to which shareholders are
          entitled to vote in the proportion that the participants had voted
          the shares allocated to their accounts with respect to such issue. 
          As of December 31, 1996  33,989 shares were allocated to participants
          for 1994, 40,973 shares were allocated to participants for 1995 and
          39,763 are to be allocated to participants for 1996.

          Financial, Inc. 1995 Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP) to vote all
          restricted shares, in its sole discretion, at any annual and special
          meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation.  At December 31,
          1996 the RRP has 65,709 shares of restricted stock that could be
          voted.  The Trustee has no dispositive power with respect to the
          shares.

ITEM 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class

          Not applicable.

ITEM 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another

        The ESOP shares are held on behalf of the ESOP participants pursuant to
        the terms of the HMN Financial, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan and
        Trust Agreement.

        Pursuant to the terms of the ESOP, dividends paid with respect to
        shares are allocated to participants' accounts in the ESOP as of the
        record date for the dividend payment and may be paid in cash to the
        participants, pursuant to the directions of the Board of Directors of
        the Corporation.  Absent such direction by the Board of Directors, cash
        from the payment of dividends is retained in the accounts of
        participants or, to the extent permitted by law, may be used to repay
        the ESOP loan.  The Trustee has the right to sell allocated shares held
        by the ESOP, the proceeds from which are allocated to the accounts of
        individual participants.  The Trustee also may sell unallocated shares,
        to the extent  such shares are not pledged to secure borrowed funds. 
        With respect to unallocated shares, cash received from the sale of
        shares or payment of dividends is retained in the ESOP trust and may be
        used to purchase additional shares or to repay the ESOP loan.
