                        INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Plan Administrator
Home Federal Savings Bank
  Employees' Savings & Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for 
benefits of the Home Federal Savings Bank Employees' Savings & Profit
Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, 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, 1997. 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, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for 
benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997,
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.

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                           December 31, 1997, 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
     Bank of New York 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 fair market value. 
     Investments in mutual funds or commingled 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 ranging between 38 and 85 basis points are assessed
     annually on average Net Asset Values and are deducted from the individual
     funds. Administrative expenses totaling $5,100 and $7,511 were paid by the
     Company in 1997 and 1996 respectively.

(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 who have attained the age of 21 are eligible to
     participate in the Plan if during the one month period following the date
     of employment (or any anniversary thereof) the employee completes 83 1/3
     or more hours of service.

     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 

<PAGE>

     $9,500 during 1997 and 1996, and $9,240 during 1995.  The Company matches
     25% of each participant's contribution not in excess of 8% of the
     participant's salary.

     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 1997, 1996, or 1995.

     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 actual
     earnings thereon. Participants must be employed on December 31 of the plan
     year to be entitled to the Company's match for the year. Employees hired
     prior to January 1, 1997 are immediately vested in the employer
     contributions at December 31 of the plan year. Employees hired January 1,
     1997 and thereafter are subject to 5 year cliff vesting for the employer
     matching contribution. Forfeited amounts for 1997 totaled $593. Employer
     match amounts not vested at December 31, 1997 totaled $3,111.

     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 vested
     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 prior to 1996. The
     contributions to the Plan for each employer participating in the Plan
     during 1997 were as follows:

                                    Employer       Employee      Rollover
                                    --------       --------      --------

      Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc.  1,944          7,773            0
                                     ------        -------        -----
                                     47,716        202,727        6,007
                                     ======        =======        =====

(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.

(4)  DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENT OPTIONS

(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.  

    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

    In December, 1997, the Bank purchased Marshalltown Savings Bank (MSB) of
    Marshalltown, Iowa. MSB maintained two branches in Marshalltown and one
    branch in Toledo, Iowa.  Thirty-three full time employees at the three
    branches became eligible to participate in the Plan on February 1, 1998.
