     SPRING VALLEY, MINNESOTA, April 17, 1997 . . . HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN)
(NASDAQ:HMNF), the $553 million holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank
(the Bank), today reported net income of $1.5 million for the first quarter of
1997, down 7.1%, from $1.6 million for the first quarter of 1996.  Earnings per
common share were $0.38 for the first quarter of 1997, up 15.2% from $0.33 for
the first quarter of 1996.  Return on average assets was 1.09%, down from 1.18%
in the first quarter of 1996.  Return on average equity was 7.43% for the first
quarter of 1997 compared to 6.91% for the same quarter in 1996.  Book value per
share was $18.71 at March 31, 1997, an increase of $1.17, or 6.7%, from March
31, 1996.  The 15.2% increase in earnings per share for the first quarter of
1997 was primarily due to HMN's repurchase of its common stock during 1996 and
1997.

     Net income for the first quarter of 1997 decreased by $112,000 compared to
the first quarter of 1996 due primarily to a $132,000 increase in non-interest
expense.  The increase in non-interest expense was principally due to an
increase in HMNs work force related to opening a mortgage banking office in
Eden Prairie, Minnesota, annual compensation 


                                                                                
                                          ... more

increases in the Bank, increased occupancy costs related to the mortgage
banking office and increased depreciation due to retail bank office remodeling.

     Net interest income was $3.9 million for both the first quarter of 1997
and the first quarter of 1996.  Net interest income for the two periods
remained similar despite an increase of $7.2 million in interest earning assets
due to a decrease in the net interest margin.  Net average interest-earning
assets for the first quarter of 1997 were $74.1 million, a decrease of $15.0
million, or 16.8%, from $89.1 million for the same quarter in 1996.  Throughout
1996 and into 1997, HMN has been repurchasing its own common stock in the open
market at an average price that is less than its current book value.  The
balance sheet impact of the stock repurchase program has been to reduce equity
and replace it with additional interest-bearing liabilities.  During the same
period, HMN also started to invest in non-interest earning assets such as
mortgage servicing rights.  As a result of these actions, even as HMN increased
in total assets, its net interest-earning assets actually decreased, which in
turn caused net interest margin to decline from the first quarter of 1996 to
the first quarter of 1997.

     Non-interest income was $698,000 for the first quarter of 1997 a slight
decrease from $701,000 of non-interest income for the first quarter of 1996. 
Due to changes in market conditions securities gains, net decreased by $230,000
and were partially offset by increased fee income of $19,000, increased gains
recognized on the sale of loans of $148,000, and a $60,000 increase in income
generated from a mortgage servicing partnership.    

     As of March 31, 1997 HMN transferred $1.3 million of securities classified
as held to maturity to available for sale because it no longer has the intent
to hold the securities to maturity.  After the transfer all of HMN's securities
were classified as available for sale.

     As previously announced, HMN completed its stock program in January 1997
with the purchase of 224,334 shares of common stock from the open market.

     HMN Financial, Inc. and Home Federal Savings Bank are headquartered in 
Spring Valley, Minnesota.  The Bank operates seven offices in southern
Minnesota and a mortgage banking office in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
