ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

GENERAL

     HMN Financial, Inc. ("HMN" or the "Corporation"), was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware in March 1994 for the purpose of becoming the
savings and loan holding company of Home Federal Savings Bank ("Home Federal" or
the "Bank") in connection with the Bank's conversion from a federally chartered
mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank. Home Federal
has a community banking philosophy and operates retail banking facilities in
Minnesota and Iowa.  The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Osterud
Insurance Agency, Inc. (OAI) and MSL Financial Corporation (MSL), which offer
financial planning products and services.  HMN has two other wholly owned
subsidiaries, Security Finance Corporation (SFC) and HMN Mortgage Services, Inc.
(MSI).  SFC invests in commercial loans and commercial real-estate loans located
throughout the United States which were originated by third parties.  MSI
operates a mortgage banking and mortgage brokerage facility located in Brooklyn
Park, Minnesota.

     On December 5, 1997 HMN, through its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank,
completed its merger with Marshalltown Financial Corporation (MFC) pursuant to a
merger agreement dated July 1, 1997. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for information on assets
acquired in the merger, HMN's Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 5, 1997,

and HMN's Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 5, 1997, filed on February
11, 1998 (file no. 0-24100) for a copy of financial statements of the acquired
company and pro forma financial information.

     As a community-oriented financial institution, HMN seeks to serve the
financial needs of communities in its market area.  HMN's business involves
attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits to originate
or purchase one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and, to a lesser
extent, consumer, construction, commercial real estate, commercial business and
multi-family loans.  HMN also invests in mortgage-backed and related securities,
investment securities (consisting primarily of U.S. government and government
agency obligations) and other permissible investments.  The executive offices of
HMN are located at 101 N. Broadway, PO Box 231, Spring Valley, Minnesota

the contiguous communities is composed of primarily urban and suburban
communities, while the balance of HMN's market area consists primarily of rural

     Based upon information obtained from the Minnesota State Demographic 
Center for 1996, the population of the six primary counties in the Bank's 
Minnesota market area was as follows:  Fillmore - 20,900; Freeborn - 33,000; 
Houston - 19,200; Mower - 37,700; Olmsted - 115,200; and Winona - 49,200.  
Total income per capita for 1996 in these six counties ranged from 
approximately $19,100 to $26,500.

     Based upon information obtained from the State Library of Iowa for 1996,
the population of Marshall County was 38,700 and the population of Tama County
was 17,600.  Total income per capita of the above mentioned Iowa counties ranged
from approximately $20,000 to $21,900.

     During the fourth quarter of 1996, HMN opened a mortgage banking and 
mortgage brokerage office which is currently located in Brooklyn Park, 
Minnesota. The office primarily originates single family residential loans 
for sale in the secondary market or purchases loans from third party 
originators located primarily in the seven county metropolitan area of 
Minneapolis and St. Paul and sells the loans in the secondary market.  The 
office also has purchased mortgage servicing rights from third parties for 
the purpose of generating loan servicing income.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

     GENERAL.  Historically, HMN originated 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage loans
secured by one-to-four family residences.  Since 1979, in order to reduce its
vulnerability to changes in interest rates, HMN has emphasized the origination
or purchase of loans for the loan portfolio which have shorter terms to maturity
such as 15 year, fixed rate residential loans and Graduated Equity Mortgages
("GEMs") which fully amortize in 15 to 20 years. HMN has also emphasized the
origination and purchase of Adjustable Rate Mortgage loans ("ARMs") for
portfolio which have interest rates which are fixed for an initial period of
one, three or five years and then generally adjust annually, thereafter, based
upon a treasury interest rate index plus a certain margin, subject to annual and
lifetime rate adjustment limits. HMN offers a competitive home equity line of
credit as well as other consumer loans. The home equity line of credit has an
adjustable interest rate based upon the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus a
margin. During 1998 HMN hired experienced commercial loan officers who actively
pursued commercial real estate, commercial business and development loans in
HMN's market area.

(1)  Includes demand loans, loans having no stated maturity, overdraft loans and
education loans.

     The total amount of loans due after December 31, 2000 which have 
predetermined interest rates is $311.5 million, while the total amount of 
loans due after such dates which have floating or adjustable interest rates 
is $113.3 million.

     At December 31, 1998 construction or development loans for one-to-four 
family dwellings totaled $5.7 million, multi-family totaled $6.6 million, and 
non-residential totaled $2.9 million.


                                       7

     Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 
1989 ("FIRREA"), the aggregate amount of loans that the Bank is permitted to 
make to any one borrower is generally limited to 15% of unimpaired capital 
and surplus (25% if the security for such loan has a "readily ascertainable" 
value or 30% for certain residential development loans). At December 31, 
1998, based upon the 15% limitation, the Bank's regulatory loans-to-one 
borrower limit was approximately $6.9 million. On the same date, the Bank had 
no borrowers with net outstanding balances in excess of this amount. At 
December 31, 1998, the largest dollar amount outstanding to one borrower or 
group of related borrowers was $6.35 million. This loan, which is secured by 
a shopping mall located in Winona, Minnesota, was performing in accordance 
with its terms at December 31, 1998.

     The Bank's Mortgage and Consumer Loan Committee is responsible for 
review and approval of all loans over the FHLMC/FNMA conforming loan dollar 
limits (the Limit) originated by the Bank. For the majority of 1998 the Limit 
was $227,150, compared to $214,600 for the majority of 1997. Approval of one 
member of the Loan Committee is required on all loans ranging from the Limit 
to $500,000. Loans greater than $500,000 must be approved by the Board of 
Directors of the Bank or its Executive Committee after review and preliminary 
approval by the Loan Committee. All loans closed each month are reviewed by 
the Board of Directors at the monthly meeting.

     During 1998, the Bank centralized its one-to-four family real estate 
loan processing, underwriting, and servicing functions in Spring Valley. Each 
of the branch's loan officers are responsible for taking the initial loan 
application. The application and other pertinent information is then 
forwarded to a central loan processor who is responsible for obtaining 
information relating to processing the loan application. A loan underwriter 
reviews the information obtained by the processor and determines whether the 
loan applicant is eligible to receive the loan in conformity with the Bank's 
written underwriting guidelines and other loan policies.

     All of the Bank's lending is subject to its written underwriting 
standards and to loan origination procedures. Decisions on loan applications 
are made on the basis of detailed applications and property valuations 
(consistent with the Bank's appraisal policy) by the Bank's staff appraiser 
or an independent appraiser. The loan applications are designed primarily to 
determine the borrower's ability to repay. The more significant items on the 
application are verified through use of credit reports, financial statements, 
tax returns and/or confirmations. During 1997 the Bank introduced the Home 
Credit Plus Program which relies on the credit score of the loan applicant 
instead of income, asset and employment verification procedures. The Bank 
also offers low or alternative documentation underwriting procedures which 
conform to FNMA underwriting guidelines.

     Generally, the Bank requires title insurance on its mortgage loans as 
well as fire and extended coverage casualty insurance in amounts at least 
equal to the principal amount of the loan or the value of improvements on the 
property, depending on the type of loan. The Bank also requires flood 
insurance to protect the property securing its interest when the property is 
located in a flood plain.

     ONE-TO-FOUR FAMILY RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING.  At December 31, 1998 
HMN's one-to-four family real estate loans totaled $365.5 million, or 79.3% 
of its total loan portfolio, and represented a decline of $30.2 million, 
compared to $395.7 million at December 31, 1997. In order to reduce its 
interest rate risk during 1998, HMN securitized and sold $27.9 million of 
one-to-four family residential loans out of its loan portfolio. It also sold 
approximately 44% of the Bank's one-to-four family residential loans that 
were originated or refinanced during 1998. The loan securitizations and the 
loan sales, when coupled with the accelerated prepayments experienced in the 
loan portfolio during 1998, caused the one-to-four family real estate loan 
portfolio to decline from December 31,1997 to December 31, 1998. See 
"Originations, Purchases and Sales of Loans and Mortgage-Backed and Related 
Securities".


                                       8

     On December 5, 1997 the Bank merged with Marshalltown Financial 
Corporation ("MFC"). The Loan Portfolio Composition table includes for 
December 31, 1997 $62.9 million of one-to-four family residential loans, $2.3 
of multi-family residential, $2.1 million of commercial real estate and $2.6 
million of consumer loans which were acquired in the MFC merger.

     Prior to 1979, the Bank originated for retention in its own portfolio 
30-year fixed-rate loans secured by one-to-four family residential real 
estate. Beginning in 1979, the Bank began to emphasize the origination of 
fixed-rate loans with terms of 15 years or less for retention in its 
portfolio. In addition, in 1982, the Bank began to originate ARMs, subject to 
market conditions and consumer preference. Subsequently, the Bank also began 
to emphasize GEM originations. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Asset/Liability Management" 
in the Annual Report attached as Exhibit 13 hereto (the "Annual Report").

     The GEM loans require payments which increase after the first year. 
Under the GEM loans, the monthly payments required for the first year are 
established based on a 30-year amortization schedule. Depending upon the 
program selected, the payments may increase in the succeeding years by 
amounts ranging from 0% to 5%. Most of the GEM loans originated by HMN 
provide for at least three annual payment increases over the first five years 
of the loan. The increased payments required under GEM loans are applied to 
principal and have the effect of shortening the term to maturity; the GEM 
loans do not permit negative amortization. HMN has primarily offered two GEM 
programs, one with a contractual maturity of approximately 17 years and one 
with a contractual maturity of approximately 22 years. The GEMs are generally 
priced based upon loans with similar contractual maturities. The GEMs have 
been popular with consumers who anticipate future increases in income and who 
desire an amortization schedule of less than 30 years. HMN believes that GEMs 
may increase in popularity in the future if interest rates rise and consumers 
are less easily able to afford the higher monthly payments required by 
15-year, fixed-rate loans. At December 31, 1998, HMN had $56.2 million of GEM 
loans which comprised 12.2% of the total loan portfolio and represented an 
increase of $2.9 million from GEM loans of $53.3 million at December 31, 1997.

     HMN currently offers conventional fixed-rate one-to-four family loans 
with maximum terms of up to 30 years. During 1998, HMN generally sold the 
majority of new loan originations or refinances with fixed rates and terms to 
maturity ranging from 15 years to 30 years that were eligible for sale in the 
secondary market. Loans which were originated under the First Time Home 
Buyers program were not sold because many of the loans did not conform to 
secondary market underwriting requirements. The interest rates charged on the 
fixed rate loan products are generally set based on the FNMA or FHLMC 
delivery rates, as well as other competitive factors. At December 31, 1998, 
HMN had $227.8 million of fixed rate one-to-four family other loans which 
comprised 49.4% of the total loan portfolio and represented a decrease of 
$28.5 million, from $256.3 million at December 31, 1997.

     HMN also offers one-year ARMs at a margin (generally 275 basis points) 
over the yield on the Average Monthly One Year U.S. Treasury Constant 
Maturity Index for terms of up to 30 years. The ARM loans currently offered 
by HMN allow the borrower to select (subject to pricing) an initial period of 
one year, three years, or five years between the loan origination and when 
the first interest rate change occurs. Generally, the ARMs provide for an up 
to 200 basis point annual interest rate change cap and a lifetime cap 600 
basis points over or under the initial rate. Initial interest rates offered 
on the ARM loans during 1998 ranged from 4 to 186 basis points below the 
fully indexed loan rate. All borrowers are now qualified for the loan at the 
fully indexed rate. HMN's originated ARMs do not permit negative amortization 
of principal, do not contain prepayment penalties and generally are not 
convertible into fixed-rate loans. See "-Delinquencies and Non-Performing 
Assets." In the past, the Bank offered one-year ARMs with a margin of 200 to 
235 basis points over a specified index and an average annual cap of 145 
basis points. At December 31, 1998 the one-to-four family ARMs totaled $81.5 
million, or 17.7% of the total loan portfolio and represented a decrease of 
$4.6 million from $86.1 million at December 31, 1997.


                                       9

<PAGE>

     HMN has also originated a limited number of fixed-rate loans with terms 
up to 30 years which are insured by the Federal Housing Authority ("FHA"), 
Veterans Administration ("VA") and Minnesota Home Finance Administration 
("MHFA").

     In underwriting one-to-four family residential real estate loans, HMN 
evaluates both the borrower's credit history, ability to make principal, 
interest and escrow payments, the value of the property that will secure the 
loan and debt to income ratios. Properties securing one-to-four family 
residential real estate loans made by HMN are appraised by independent fee 
appraisers or by HMN's staff appraiser. HMN originates residential mortgage 
loans with loan-to-value ratios of up to 95% for owner-occupied homes and up 
to 70% for non-owner occupied homes; however, private mortgage insurance is 
required to reduce HMN's exposure to 80% or less. HMN generally seeks to 
underwrite its loans in accordance with secondary market standards.

     HMN's residential mortgage loans customarily include due-on-sale clauses 
giving it the right to declare the loan immediately due and payable in the 
event that, among other things, the borrower sells or otherwise disposes of 
the property subject to the mortgage.

     COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND MULTI-FAMILY LENDING.  HMN originates 
permanent commercial real estate and multi-family loans secured by properties 
located in its market area. It also purchases commercial real estate loans 
outside of its market area that are guaranteed by the Small Business 
Administration ("SBA") or originated by other third parties. During 1998 HMN 
hired experienced commercial loan officers to originate commercial real 
estate and commercial business loans in HMN's market area. HMN also purchased 
commercial real estate and multi-family loans from third party originators 
during 1998. At December 31, 1998, commercial real estate loans were $29.0 
million or 6.3% of the total loan portfolio and represented an increase of 
$18.4 million compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 1997. At December 31, 
1998 multi-family residential loans were $4.7 million, or 1.0% of the total 
loan portfolio and represented an increase of $2.0 million compared to $2.7 
million at December 31, 1997.

     The commercial real estate and multi-family loan portfolio includes 
loans secured by motels, hotels, apartment buildings, churches, small office 
buildings, small business facilities, shopping malls, nursing homes and other 
non-residential building properties primarily located in the upper Midwestern 
United States.

     Permanent commercial real estate and multi-family loans are generally 
originated for a maximum term of 15 years and may have longer amortization 
periods with balloon maturity features. The interest rates may be fixed for 
the term of the loan or have adjustable features which are tied to prime or a 
treasury index. Commercial real estate and multi-family loans are written in 
amounts of up to 75% of the lesser of the appraised value of the property or 
the purchase price and generally have a debt service coverage ratio of at 
least 120%. The debt service coverage is the ratio of net cash from 
operations before payment of debt to debt service. HMN may originate 
construction loans secured by commercial or multi-family real estate, or may 
purchase participation interests in third party originated construction loans 
secured by commercial or multi-family real estate.

     Appraisals on commercial real estate and multi-family real estate 
properties are performed by independent appraisers prior to the time the loan 
is made. All appraisals on commercial and multi-family real estate are 
reviewed and approved by the commercial loan officer. The Bank's underwriting 
procedures require verification of the borrower's credit history, income and 
financial statements, banking relationships, references and income 
projections for the property. All commercial real estate and multi-family 
loans must be approved by a majority of the commercial loan committee prior 
to closing. The commercial loan policy generally requires personal guarantees 
from the proposed borrowers. Once the loan is closed, HMN performs an annual 
on-site inspection on collateral properties for loans with balances in excess 
of $250,000 and also includes an annual review of the financial performance 
of the property to determine that it is performing as anticipated.

     At December 31, 1998, HMN's two largest commercial real estate loans 
totaled $6.35 million and $4.9 million. The first loan is secured by a 
shopping mall in Winona, Minnesota and the second loan is secured by a hotel 
and other commercial real estate in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Both of these loans 
were performing at December 31, 1998.

     Multi-family and commercial real estate loans generally present a higher 
level of risk than loans secured by one-to-four family residences. This 
greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of 
principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general 
economic conditions on income producing properties and the increased 
difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, 
the repayment of loans secured by multi-family and commercial real estate is 
typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate 
project. If the cash flow from the project is reduced (for example, if leases 
are not obtained or renewed), the borrower's ability to repay the loan may be 
impaired. At December 31, 1998, HMN had one commercial real estate loan 
totaling $73,000 and no multi-family loans which were 90 days or more 
delinquent.

     CONSTRUCTION LENDING.  HMN makes construction loans to individuals for 
the construction of their residences, and to a much lesser extent, to 
builders for the construction of one-to-four family residences. It also makes 
a very limited number of loans to builders for houses built on speculation. 
At December 31, 1998, HMN had $15.2 million of construction loans 
outstanding, representing 3.3% of its total loan portfolio which represents 
an increase of $9.5 million, compared to $5.7 million at December 31, 1997.

     Almost all loans to individuals for the construction of their residences 
are structured as permanent loans. Such loans are made on the same terms as 
residential loans, except that during the construction phase, which typically 
lasts up to seven months, the borrower pays interest only. Generally, the 
borrower also pays a construction fee up to $800 at the time of origination. 
Residential construction loans are underwritten pursuant to the same 
guidelines used for originating residential loans on existing properties.

     Construction loans to builders or developers of one-to-four family 
residences generally carry terms of 1 to 15 years with a construction phase 
of up to seven months. Such loans generally do not permit the payment of 
interest from loan proceeds.

     Construction loans to owner occupants are generally made in amounts of 
up to 95% of the lesser of cost or appraised value, but no more than 85% of 
the loan proceeds can be disbursed until the building is completed. The 
loan-to-value ratios on loans to builders are limited to 70%. Prior to making 
a commitment to fund a construction loan, HMN requires an appraisal of the 
property and financial data and verification of income on the borrower. HMN 
generally obtains personal guarantees for substantially all of its 
construction loans to builders. Personal financial statements of guarantors 
are also obtained as part of the loan underwriting process. Generally 
construction loans have been located in HMN's market area.

     Construction loans are obtained principally through continued business 
from builders and developers who have previously borrowed from the Bank, as 
well as referrals from existing customers and walk-in customers. The 
application process includes a submission to the Bank of accurate plans, 
specifications and costs of the project to be constructed. These items are 
used as a basis to determine the appraised value of the subject property.

     At December 31, 1998 construction loans on one-to-four family 
residential real estate totaled $5.7 million, construction on multi-family 
residential real estate totaled $6.6 million and construction on commercial 
real estate totaled $2.9 million.

     The nature of construction loans is such that they are more difficult to 
evaluate and monitor. The risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent 
largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property's value 
upon completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of 
the project. If


                                       11

<PAGE>

the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, HMN may be confronted, at or 
prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value which is 
insufficient to assure full repayment and/or the possibility of having to 
make substantial investments to complete and sell the project. Because 
defaults in repayment may not occur during the construction period it may be 
difficult to identify problem loans at an early stage. In such cases, HMN may 
be required to modify the terms of the loan.

     CONSUMER LENDING.  HMN originates a variety of different types of 
consumer loans, including home equity loans (open-end and closed-end), 
education, automobile, home improvement, deposit account and other loans for 
household and personal purposes. At December 31, 1998, consumer loans totaled 
$34.8 million, and represented 7.6% of total loans outstanding, compared to 
$31.9 million at December 31, 1997.

     Consumer loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, 
length of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower. HMN's consumer loans 
are made at fixed and adjustable interest rates, with terms of up to 20 years 
for secured loans and up to three years for unsecured loans.

     HMN's home equity loans are written so that the total commitment amount, 
when combined with the balance of any other outstanding mortgage liens, may 
not exceed 90% of the appraised value of the property. The closed-end home 
equity loans are written with fixed or adjustable rates with terms of up to 
15 years. The open-end home equity lines are written with an adjustable rate 
with terms of up to 20 years, a 10 year draw period which requires "interest 
only" payments and a 10 year repayment period which fully amortizes the 
outstanding balance. The consumer may access the open-end home equity line 
either by making a withdrawal at the Bank or writing a check on the home 
equity line of credit account. At December 31, 1998, HMN's home equity loans 
totaled $9.6 million, or 2.1% of the total loan portfolio and the home equity 
lines totaled $19.5 million, or 4.2% of the total loan portfolio, compared to 
home equity loans of $7.2 million and home equity lines of $19.5 million at 
December 31, 1997.

     The underwriting standards employed by the Bank for consumer loans 
include a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts and 
ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. 
Although creditworthiness of the applicant is of primary consideration, the 
underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, 
if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount. Consumer loans may entail 
greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the 
case of consumer loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly 
depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed 
collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source 
of repayment of the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater 
likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. In addition, consumer loan 
collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, 
and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. 
Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including 
bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered 
on such loans. At December 31, 1998, $86,000 of the consumer loan portfolio 
was non-performing. There can be no assurance that delinquencies will not 
increase in the future.

     COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LENDING.  In order to satisfy the demand for 
financial services available to individuals and businesses in its market 
area, HMN has maintained a portfolio of commercial business loans primarily 
to small retail operations, small manufacturing concerns and professional 
firms. Most of HMN's commercial business loans have terms ranging from six 
months to five years and carry fixed interest rates. HMN's commercial 
business loans generally include personal guarantees and are usually, but not 
always, secured by business assets such as inventory, equipment, fixtures, 
real estate and accounts receivables. The underwriting process for commercial 
business loans includes consideration of the borrower's financial statements, 
tax returns, projections of future business operations and inspection of the 
subject collateral, if any. HMN has also purchased participation interests in 
commercial business loans from third party originators. The underlying 
collateral for the loans are generally equipment and generally have repayment 
periods of less than ten years. At December 31, 1998, HMN had $11.7 million 
of commercial business loans outstanding, or 2.5% of the total loan portfolio 
compared to $5.2 million at December 31, 1997.

     Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis 
of the borrower's ability to make repayment from his or her employment and 
other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be 
more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher risk and 
typically are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment 
from the cash flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability 
of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially 
dependent on the success of the business itself. Further, the collateral 
securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and 
may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. At December 31, 
1998, there were no delinquent commercial business loans.

ORIGINATIONS, PURCHASES AND SALES OF LOANS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED 
SECURITIES

     Real estate loans are generally originated by HMN's staff of salaried 
and commissioned loan officers. Loan applications are taken in all branch 
offices.

     While HMN originates both fixed and adjustable-rate loans, its ability 
to originate loans is dependent upon the relative customer demand for loans 
in its market. Demand is affected by the interest rate environment. During 
the last several years, the dollar volume of conventional fixed-rate, 
one-to-four family loans has exceeded the dollar volume of GEMs and ARMs.

     In order to supplement loan demand in HMN's market area and 
geographically diversify its loan portfolio, HMN purchases real estate loans 
from selected sellers, with yields based upon current market rates. HMN 
carefully reviews and underwrites all loans to be purchased to ensure that 
they meet HMN's under-writing standards. The seller generally continues to 
service these purchased loans. During 1998, HMN originated $148.7 million of 
loans compared to $68.1 million and $56.8 million during the years ended 
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. HMN purchased $71.0 million of 
loans during 1998 compared to $71.8 million and $57.3 million during the 
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The majority of the 
purchased loans have interest rates that are fixed for a one, three or five 
year period and then adjust annually thereafter or were 15 year fixed rate 
loans. All purchased loans are reviewed to determine that each loan meets 
certain underwriting requirements. Refer to Note 5 of the Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for more information 
on purchased loans.

     HMN has substantial holdings of mortgage-backed and related securities 
which are held, depending on the investment intent, in the "available for 
sale" portfolio. During 1998, HMN purchased $1.8 million of mortgage-backed 
securities compared to $3.4 million and $7.2 million for the years ended 
December 31, 1997 and 1996. It also purchased $112.0 million of CMOs during 
1998 compared to $24.0 million and $50.4 million for the years ended December 
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. See -"Investment Activities." During 1998, 
HMN sold $96.5 million of mortgage-backed and related securities compared to 
$67.9 million and $81.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 
1996, respectively.

DELINQUENCIES AND NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

     DELINQUENCY PROCEDURES.  When a borrower fails to make a required 
payment on a loan, HMN attempts to cure the delinquency by contacting the 
borrower.  A late notice is sent on all loans over 16 days delinquent.  
Additional written and verbal contacts may be made with the borrower between 
30 and 60 days after the due date.  If the loan is contractually delinquent 
90 days, HMN usually sends a 30-day demand letter to the borrower and, after 
the loan is contractually delinquent 120 days, institutes appropriate action 
to foreclose on the property.  If foreclosed, the property is sold at a 
sheriff's sale and may be purchased by HMN.  Delinquent consumer loans are 
generally handled in a similar manner.  HMN's procedures for repossession and 
sale of consumer collateral are subject to various requirements under state 
consumer protection laws.

     Real estate acquired by HMN as a result of foreclosure or by deed in 
lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate in judgement for six months 
to one year and thereafter as real estate owned until it is sold.  When 
property is acquired or expected to be acquired by foreclosure or deed in 
lieu of foreclosure, it is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair 
value, less the estimated cost of disposition.  After acquisition, all costs 
incurred in maintaining the property are expensed.  Costs relating to the 
development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the 
extent of fair value less disposition cost.

</TABLE>

     CLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS.  Federal regulations require that each savings 
institution classify its own assets on a regular basis.  In addition, in 
connection with examinations of savings institutions, OTS and FDIC examiners 
have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them 
to be classified.  There are three classifications for problem assets: 
Substandard, Doubtful and Loss.  Substandard assets have one or more defined 
weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank 
will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Doubtful 
assets have the weaknesses of Substandard assets, with the additional 
characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on 
the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, 
and there is a high possibility of loss.  An asset classified as Loss is 
considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an 
asset on the balance sheet of the institution is not warranted.  Assets 
classified as Substandard or Doubtful require the institution to establish 
prudent general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is 
classified as Loss, the institution must either establish specific allowances 
for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified 
as Loss, or charge off such amount.  If an institution does not agree with an 
examiner's classification of an asset, it may appeal this determination to 
the District Director of the OTS.  On the basis of management's review of its 
assets, at December 31, 1998, the Bank had classified a total of $879,000 of 
its loans and other assets as follows:

</TABLE>

     The Bank's classified assets consist of the non-performing loans and 
loans and other assets of concern discussed herein.  As of the date hereof, 
these asset classifications are materially consistent with those of the OTS 
and FDIC.

     NON-PERFORMING ASSETS.  Loans are reviewed quarterly and any loan whose
collectibility is doubtful is placed on non-accrual status.  Loans are placed on
nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due,
unless, in the judgment of management, the loan is well collateralized and in
the process of collection.  Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is
placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income.  Subsequent
payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as
interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectibility of
the loan.

Restructured loans include the Bank's troubled debt restructurings (which 
involved forgiving a portion of interest or principal on any loans or making 
loans at a rate materially less than the market rate).  Foreclosed assets 
include assets acquired in settlement of loans.  The following table sets 
forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in the Bank's 
portfolio.

</TABLE>

     For the year ended December 31, 1998, gross interest income which would 
have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with 
their original terms amounted to $49,382.  The amounts that were included in 
interest income on such loans during 1998 were $28,618.

     Total non-performing assets were $806,000 at December 31, 1998, a 
decrease of $1,000, compared to $807,000 at December 31, 1997 and $361,000 at 
December 31, 1996.  Non-performing assets had the following activity during 
1998: sales of $142,000, transfers in of $389,000 and transfers out due to 
performance of $248,000.  Non-performing assets had the following activity 
during 1997: sales of $42,000, charge-offs of $35,000, payments of $80,000 
and net transfers to non-performing assets of $603,000.  The increase in 
non-performing assets from 1996 to 1997 is primarily the result of three 
one-to-four family purchased loans totaling $365,000 that were behind on 
their payments by more than 90 days and the foreclosure of two one-to-four 
family mortgages totaling $142,000. The decrease in the non-accruing loans is 
the result of the normal inflow and outflow of delinquent loans caused by 
borrowers getting behind on their payments and then bringing the loans 
current again.

     Total non-performing assets were $361,000 at December 31, 1996, a 
decrease of $489,000, compared to $850,000 at December 31, 1995.  The 
decrease in non-performing assets is the result of the sale of foreclosed 
assets of $315,000, the charge-off of $72,000 of commercial loans, and the 
normal inflow and outflow of delinquent loans caused by borrowers getting 
behind on their payments and then bringing the loans current again.

     OTHER LOANS OF CONCERN.  In addition to the non-performing assets set 
forth in the table above, as of December 31, 1998 there were $72,000 of loans 
with known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers or 
the cash flows of the secured properties have caused management to have 
concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan 
repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items in 
the non-performing asset categories.

     Management has considered the Bank's non-performing and "of concern" 
assets in establishing its allowance for loan losses.

     ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES ON LOANS.  The following table sets forth an 
analysis of the Bank's allowance for loan losses for the year ended:

     The allowance for losses on loans is established through a provision for
losses on loans charged to earnings based on management's evaluation of the risk
inherent in its entire loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of
its loan activity.  Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans of
which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers specific
occurrences, general and local economic conditions, loan portfolio composition,
historical and local experience and other factors that warrant recognition in
providing for an adequate allowance for loan losses.  In determining the general
reserves under these policies, historical charge-offs and recoveries, changes in
the mix and levels of the various types of loans, the general level of
non-performing assets and the anticipated net realizable values, the current
loan portfolio and current economic conditions are considered.  The Bank also
requires additional reserves for all classified loans.

     While management believes that it uses the best information available to 
determine the allowance for losses on loans, unforeseen market conditions 
could result in adjustments to the allowance for losses on loans, and net 
earnings could be significantly affected, if circumstances differ 
substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determination.  
Refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis on Allowances for Loan and Real 
Estate Losses and Non-performing Assets in the Annual Report.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

     HMN and the Bank utilize the available for sale securities portfolio in 
virtually all aspects of asset/liability management strategy.  In making 
investment decisions, the Investment/Asset - Liability Committee considers, 
among other things, the yield and interest rate objectives, the credit risk 
position and the projected cash flow requirements.

     The Bank must maintain minimum levels of investments that qualify as 
liquid assets under OTS regulations.  Liquidity may increase or decrease 
depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on 
investments in relation to the return on loans. Cash flow projections are 
regularly reviewed and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is 
maintained. At December 31, 1998, the Bank's liquidity ratio (liquid assets 
as a percentage of net withdrawable savings deposits and current borrowings) 
was 10.27%. The Bank's level of liquidity is a result of management's 
asset/liability strategy.  See "Regulation - Liquidity."

     SECURITIES.  Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority 
to invest in various types of liquid assets, including United States Treasury 
obligations, securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of 
deposit of insured banks and savings institutions, certain bankers' 
acceptances, repurchase agreements and federal funds.  Subject to various 
restrictions, federally chartered savings institutions may also invest their 
assets in commercial paper, investment grade corporate debt securities and 
mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federally 
chartered savings institution is otherwise authorized to make directly.

     The investment strategy of HMN and the Bank has been directed toward a 
mix of high-quality assets (primarily government and agency obligations) with 
short and intermediate terms to maturity.  At December 31, 1998, HMN did not 
own any investment securities of a single issuer which exceeded 10% of HMN's 
stockholder's equity other than U.S. government or federal agency obligations.

     The Bank invests a portion of its liquid assets in interest-earning 
overnight deposits of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Des Moines and 
various money market mutual funds.  Other investments include high grade 
medium-term (up to three years) corporate debt securities, medium-term 
federal agency notes, and a variety of other types of mutual funds which 
invest in adjustable-rate, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed 
securities, repurchase agreements and U.S. Treasury and agency obligations.  
HMN invests in the same type of investment securities as the Bank and also 
invests in taxable and tax exempt municipal obligations and corporate 
equities such as preferred and common stock.  See Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for additional 
information regarding  HMN's securities portfolio.

     MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED SECURITIES.  In order to supplement loan 
production (particularly those of interest rate sensitive loans) and achieve 
its asset/liability management goals, HMN invests in mortgage-backed and 
related securities. All of the mortgage-backed and related securities owned 
by HMN are issued, insured or guaranteed either directly or indirectly by a 
federal agency or are rated "AA" or higher. At December 31, 1998, HMN had 
$143.1 million of mortgage-backed and related securities all classified as 
available for sale, compared to $135.9 at December 31, 1997 and $135.2 
million at December 31, 1996, of which $133.4 million were classified as 
available for sale.

     The contractual maturities of the mortgage-backed and related securities 
portfolio without any prepayment assumptions at December 31, 1998 is as 
follows:

     At December 31, 1998, HMN did not have any non-agency mortgage-backed or 
related securities in excess of 10% of its stockholders' equity, except for a 
$11.9 million collateralized mortgage obligation issued by Bear Stearns with 
an AAA rating by Moody's.

     CMOs are securities derived by reallocating the cash flows from 
mortgage-backed securities or pools of mortgage loans in order to create 
multiple classes, or tranches, of securities with coupon rates and average 
lives that differ from the underlying collateral as a whole. The terms to 
maturity of any particular tranche is dependent upon the prepayment speed of 
the underlying collateral as well as the structure of the particular CMO. 
Although a significant proportion of HMN's CMOs are in tranches which have 
been structured (through the use of cash flow priority and "support" 
tranches) to give somewhat more predictable cash flows, the cash flow and 
hence the value of CMOs is subject to change.

     At December 31, 1998, HMN had $94.5 million invested in CMOs which have 
floating interest rates that change either monthly or quarterly, compared to 
$23.3 million at December 31, 1997 and $43.5 million at December 31, 1996. 
During 1998 HMN increased its investment in floating rate CMOs in order to 
reduce its overall interest rate risk exposure.

     At December 31, 1998 the projected duration (period of time until half 
the interest and half the principal is collected) of the $44.6 million fixed 
rate CMO portfolio is approximately 1.0 year using median prepayment speeds 
projected by the Bloomberg security system, compared to approximately 3.3 
years for the $61.8 million fixed rate CMO security portfolio at December 31, 
1997.

     Refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis-Market Risk in the Annual 
Report for information on changes in market value of the mortgage-backed or 
related securities under different rate shock environments.

     To assess price volatility, the Federal Financial Institutions 
Examination Council ("FFIEC") adopted a policy in 1992 which required an 
annual "stress" test of mortgage derivative securities. The policy, which was 
adopted by the OTS, required the Bank to annually test its CMOs and other 
mortgage-related securities to


                                       23
<PAGE>

determine whether they were "high-risk" or "nonhigh-risk securities". During 
1998 the OTS adopted Thrift Bulletin 13A which no longer required that 
"high-risk" testing be performed on an institution's CMOs and other 
mortgage-related securities.

     Mortgage-backed and related securities can serve as collateral for 
borrowings and, through sales and repayments, as a source of liquidity. In 
addition, mortgage-backed and related securities available for sale can be 
sold to respond to changes in economic conditions. For information regarding 
the carrying and market values of HMN's mortgage-backed and related 
securities portfolio, see Notes 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

     MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS.  On December 5, 1997 HMN, through its wholly 
owned subsidiary, the Bank, completed its merger with Marshalltown Financial 
Corporation (MFC) pursuant to a merger agreement dated July 1, 1997. Refer to 
Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report 
for information on assets acquired in the merger.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

     GENERAL.  The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, payments 
(including prepayments) of loan principal, interest earned on loans and 
securities, repayments of securities, borrowings and other funds provided 
from operations.

     DEPOSITS.  The Bank offers a variety of deposit accounts having a wide 
range of interest rates and terms. The Bank's deposits consist of passbook, 
NOW, money market, non-interest bearing checking and certificate accounts 
(including individual retirement accounts). The Bank relies primarily on 
competitive pricing policies and customer service to attract and retain these 
deposits.

     The variety of deposit accounts offered by the Bank has allowed it to be 
competitive in obtaining funds and to respond with flexibility to changes in 
consumer demand. As customers have become more interest rate conscious, the 
Bank has become more susceptible to short-term fluctuations in deposit flows. 
The Bank manages the pricing of its deposits in keeping with its 
asset/liability management, profitability and growth objectives. Based on its 
experience, the Bank believes that its passbook and NOW accounts are 
relatively stable sources of deposits. However, the ability of the Bank to 
attract and maintain certificate deposits, and the rates paid on these 
deposits, has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market 
conditions.

     The following table sets forth the savings flows at the Bank during the 
periods indicated.

For additional information regarding the composition of the Bank's deposits, see
Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
For additional information on certificate maturities and the impact on HMN's
liquidity see Liquidity starting on page 21 of the Annual Report.

     BORROWINGS.  The Bank's other available sources of funds include advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Des Moines and other borrowings.  As
a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, the Bank is required to own capital stock in
the FHLB of Des Moines and is authorized to apply for advances from the FHLB of
Des Moines.  Each FHLB credit program has its own interest rate, which may be
fixed or variable, and range of maturities.  The FHLB of Des Moines may
prescribe the acceptable uses for these advances, as well as limitations on the
size of the advances and repayment provisions.  Consistent with its
asset/liability management strategy, the Bank has utilized FHLB advances from
time to time to extend the term to maturity of its liabilities.  Also, the Bank
has used FHLB borrowings to fund loan demand and other investment opportunities
and to offset deposit outflows.  At December 31, 1998, the Bank had $185.4
million of FHLB advances outstanding.  On such date, the Bank had a collateral
pledge arrangement with the FHLB of Des Moines pursuant to which the Bank may
borrow up to an additional $60.0 million for liquidity purposes.  See "Financial
Review - Federal Home Loan Bank Advances" and Note 13 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

     During 1998, HMN has established a $2.5 million revolving line of credit
with Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A.  The credit line matures September 15, 1999
and floats at the Federal Funds rate plus 250 basis points.

     The following table sets forth the maximum month-end balance and average
balance of FHLB advances and the revolving line of credit ("Other Borrowings")
for the periods indicated.

SERVICE CORPORATIONS OF THE BANK

     As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank is permitted by OTS 
regulations to invest up to 2% of its assets in the stock of, or loans to, 
service corporation subsidiaries, and may invest an additional 1% of its 
assets in service corporations where such additional funds are used for 
inner-city or community development purposes.  In addition to investments in 
service corporations, federal institutions are permitted to invest an 
unlimited amount in operating subsidiaries engaged solely in activities which 
a federal savings bank may engage in directly.

     Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc. ("OIAI"), a Minnesota corporation, was 
organized in 1983.  OIAI operated as an insurance agency until 1986 when its 
assets were sold.  OIAI remained inactive until 1993 when it began offering 
credit life insurance, annuity products and mutual fund products to the 
Bank's customers and others. OIAI recorded net income of $29,000 for the year 
ended December 31, 1998.

     MSL Financial Corporation ("MSL") was acquired in the MFC merger. MSL 
offered annuity products to MFC customers and also has an investment in FHLMC 
preferred stock.

COMPETITION

     The Bank faces strong competition both in originating real estate loans 
and in attracting deposits.  Competition in originating loans comes primarily 
from mortgage bankers, commercial banks, credit unions and other savings 
institutions, which also make loans secured by real estate located in the 
Bank's market area and through internet banking operations which are 
throughout the continental United States.  The Bank competes for loans 
principally on the basis of the interest rates and loan fees it charges, the 
types of loans it originates and the quality of services it provides to 
borrowers.

     Competition for deposits is principally from money market and mutual 
funds, securities firms, commercial banks and other savings institutions 
located in the same communities.  The ability of the Bank to attract and 
retain deposits depends on its ability to provide an investment opportunity 
that satisfies the requirements of investors as to rate of return, liquidity, 
risk, convenient locations and other factors.  The Bank competes for these 
deposits by offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, 
convenient business hours and a customer oriented staff.

OTHER CORPORATIONS OWNED BY HMN

     HMN has two other wholly owned subsidiaries, HMN Mortgage Services, Inc. 
("MSI") and Security Finance Corporation ("SFC"). MSI operates a mortgage 
banking and mortgage brokerage facility located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. 
Brooklyn Park is located in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan area. MSI's 
primary function is to originate and/or purchase single family residential 
loans for resale on the secondary


                                        28
<PAGE>

market to FNMA, FHLMC or other third parties. It also from time to time 
purchases mortgage servicing rights from other lenders. SFC invests in 
commercial loans and commercial real estate loans located throughout the 
United States which were originated by third parties.

EMPLOYEES

     At December 31, 1998, HMN had a total of 136 full-time equivalent 
employees.  None of the employees of HMN or its subsidiaries are represented 
by any collective bargaining unit.  Management considers its employee 
relations to be good.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT WHO ARE NOT DIRECTORS

     Officers are elected annually by the Board of Directors of HMN and the 
Bank.  The business experience of each executive officer of HMN and the Bank 
who is not also a director of HMN is set forth below. Unless otherwise 
indicated, such individuals have held their current positions for at least 
five years.

     MICHAEL MCNEIL.  Mr. McNeil, age 51, has been the President and Chief 
Executive Officer of the Bank since January 1, 1999. From April 1, 1998 
through December 1998, Mr. McNeil was the Senior Vice President Business 
Development of the Bank. Prior to joining the Bank, Mr. McNeil was the 
President and a director of Stearns Bank, N.A. in St. Cloud, Minnesota from 
August 1, 1991 until March 1, 1998.

     DWAIN C. JORGENSEN.  Mr. Jorgensen, age 50, is Senior Vice President 
Operations of HMN and the Bank.  Mr. Jorgensen has held such positions with 
the Bank since 1998.  Prior to such time, he served as Vice President, 
Controller and Chief Accounting Officer of HMN and the Bank from 1989 to 
1998. From 1983 to 1989, Mr. Jorgensen was an Assistant Vice President and 
Operations Officer with the Bank.

     TIMOTHY P. JOHNSON.  Mr. Johnson, age 46, is Vice President and 
Treasurer of HMN and the Bank, a position he has held since 1997. He has also 
been Principal Accounting Officer since 1998. Prior to such time, he served 
as Treasurer from 1992 to 1997.  From 1983 to 1992, Mr. Johnson was Chief 
Financial Officer of St. Louis Bank for Savings, Duluth, Minnesota.

                                      REGULATION
GENERAL

     The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank, the deposits of which 
are federally insured and backed by the full faith and credit of the United 
States Government.  Accordingly, the Bank is subject to broad federal 
regulation and oversight extending to all its operations.  The Bank is a 
member of the FHLB of Des Moines and is subject to certain limited regulation 
by the Federal Reserve Board.  The Bank is a member of the Savings 
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") and the deposits of the Bank are insured 
by the FDIC.  As a result, the FDIC has certain regulatory and examination 
authority over the Bank.  As the savings and loan holding company of the 
Bank, HMN also is subject to federal regulation and oversight.  The purpose 
of the regulation of HMN and other holding companies is to protect subsidiary 
savings associations.

     Certain of these regulatory requirements and restrictions are discussed 
below.

FEDERAL REGULATION OF SAVINGS ASSOCIATIONS

     The OTS has extensive authority over the operations of savings 
associations.  As part of this authority, the Bank is required to file 
periodic reports with the OTS and is subject to periodic examinations by the 
OTS and the FDIC.  The last regular OTS examination of the Bank was dated 
July of 1998.  The Bank has not been scheduled for an examination in 1999, 
except for an on-site year 2000 examination which started


                                        29
<PAGE>

on March 1, 1999.  When these examinations are conducted by the OTS and the 
FDIC, the examiners may require the Bank to provide for higher general or 
specific loan loss reserves.  From time to time, financial institutions in 
various regions of the United States have been called upon by examiners to 
write down assets and to establish increased levels of reserves, primarily as 
a result of perceived weaknesses in real estate values and a more restrictive 
regulatory climate.

     The OTS has established a schedule for the assessment of fees upon all 
savings associations to fund the operations of the OTS.  The general 
assessment, to be paid on a semi-annual basis, is computed upon the savings 
association's total assets as reported in the association's latest quarterly 
thrift financial report, the savings association's condition as reflected by 
its composite rating, and the complexity of the savings association's 
business determined by the amount of trust assets administered, assets 
subject to recourse or similar obligations and the principal amount of loans 
serviced by the savings association.  Savings associations (unlike the Bank) 
with a composite rating of 3 receive a condition component equal to 25% of 
their size component and savings associations with a composite rating of 4 or 
5 receive a condition component equal to 50% of their size component. The 
Bank's OTS assessment for the year ended December 31, 1998 was approximately 
$147,000.

     The OTS also has extensive enforcement authority over all savings 
institutions and their holding companies, including the Bank and HMN.  This 
enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess 
civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to 
initiate injunctive actions.  In general, these enforcement actions may be 
initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound 
practices.  Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement 
action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with the OTS.  Except 
under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions 
by the OTS is required.

     In addition, the investment, lending and branching authority of the Bank 
is prescribed by federal laws and regulations, and it is prohibited from 
engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations.  For 
instance, no savings institution may invest in non-investment grade corporate 
debt securities.  In addition, unless approved by the OTS, the permissible 
level of investment by federal associations in loans secured by 
non-residential real property may not exceed 400% of regulatory capital.  
Federal savings associations are also generally authorized to branch 
nationwide.  The Bank is in compliance with the noted restrictions.

     The Bank's general permissible lending limit for loans-to-one-borrower 
is equal to the greater of $500,000, or 15%, of unimpaired capital and 
surplus (except for loans fully secured by certain readily marketable 
collateral, in which case this limit is increased to 25% of unimpaired 
capital and surplus). At December 31, 1998, the Bank's lending limit under 
this restriction was $6.9 million. The Bank is in compliance with the 
loans-to-one borrower limitation.

     In December 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement 
Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") was enacted into law.  FDICIA provides for, among 
other things, the recapitalization of the Bank Insurance Fund; adoption of 
safety and soundness standards; enhanced federal supervision of depository 
institutions, including greater authority for the appointment of a 
conservator or receiver for undercapitalized institutions; the establishment 
of risk-based deposit insurance premiums; liberalization of the qualified 
thrift lender test; greater restrictions on transactions with affiliates; and 
mandated consumer protection disclosures with respect to deposit accounts.  
See "- Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC," "- Regulatory 
Capital Requirements" and "- Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

     The OTS, as well as the other federal banking agencies, have issued 
proposed safety and soundness standards on matters such as credit 
underwriting and loan documentation, internal controls and audit systems, 
interest rate risk exposure, asset growth and quality, compensation and 
other employee benefits and year 2000 issues.  The proposal also establishes 
the maximum ratio of classified assets to total capital (which for this 
purpose 

                                        30
<PAGE>

includes loss allowances exceeding the amount includable for regulatory 
capital purposes) at 100% and the minimum level of earnings sufficient to 
absorb losses without impairing capital.  Earnings will be sufficient if the 
net income over the last four quarters is assumed to continue over the next 
four quarters and the institution would otherwise remain in capital 
compliance. Any institution which fails to comply with these standards must 
submit a compliance plan. A failure to submit a plan or to comply with an 
approved plan will subject the institution to further enforcement action.

     The Bank is subject to a wide array of other laws and regulations, both 
federal and state, including, but not limited to, usury laws, the Community 
Reinvestment Act and regulations thereunder, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act 
and Regulation B, Regulation E-Electronic Funds Transfer requirements, the 
Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation Z, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures 
Act and Regulation X. The Bank is also subject to laws and regulations that 
may impose liability on lenders and owners for clean-up costs and other costs 
stemming from hazardous waste located on property securing real estate loans 
made by lenders or on real estate that is owned by lenders following a 
foreclosure or otherwise.

INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS AND REGULATION BY THE FDIC

     The Bank is a member of the SAIF, which is administered by the FDIC. 
Savings deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC and such 
insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States 
Government.  As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is 
authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by 
FDIC-insured institutions.  It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution 
from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to 
pose a serious risk to the SAIF.  The FDIC also has the authority to initiate 
enforcement actions against savings associations, after giving the OTS an 
opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the deposit insurance if 
it determines that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or 
unsound practices, or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

     FDICIA required the FDIC to implement a risk-based deposit insurance 
assessment system. Under the system, all insured depository institutions were 
placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums, ranging 
from .04% to .31% of deposits, based upon their level of capital and 
supervisory evaluation. Institutions classified as well capitalized (I.E., a 
core capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier 1 or core capital to 
risk-weighted assets ("Tier 1 risk-based capital") of at least 6% and a 
risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy would pay 
the lowest premium while institutions that are less than adequately 
capitalized (I.E., core and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 4% 
or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%) and considered of substantial 
supervisory concern would pay the highest premium.  Risk classification of 
all insured institutions will be made by the FDIC for each semi-annual 
assessment period.

     The FDIC is authorized to increase assessment rates, on a semi-annual 
basis, if it determines that the reserve ratio of the SAIF will be less than 
the designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of SAIF insured deposits.  In setting 
these increased assessments, the FDIC must seek to restore the reserve ratio 
to that designated reserve level, or such higher reserve ratio as established 
by the FDIC.  In addition, under FDICIA, the FDIC may impose special 
assessments on SAIF members to repay amounts borrowed from the United States 
Treasury or for any other reason deemed necessary by the FDIC.

     The Deposit Insurance Fund Act of 1996 (DIFA) was enacted on September 
30, 1996.  DIFA addressed the inadequate funding of the (SAIF). In order to 
recapitalize the SAIF, DIFA imposed a one-time assessment on all thrift 
institutions.  The Bank's assessment was a pretax charge of $2,351,563 and 
was recognized in the third quarter of 1996.

     DIFA also addressed the funding for the Financing Corp. (FICO) bonds. 
Thrifts will pay 6.4 basis points per $100 of deposits from January 1, 1997 
to December 31, 1999.  From January 1, 2000 until the


                                        31
<PAGE>

FICO bonds are retired in 2019, the estimated assessment to retire the FICO 
bonds is expected to be 2.5 basis points per $100 of deposits.

     DIFA proposed that the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and SAIF be merged on 
January 1, 1999, provided no insurance depository institution is a savings 
association on that date.  At this time, HMN does not know what effect, if 
any, the proposed legislation or charter revisions will have on future 
operations.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

     Federally insured savings associations, such as the Bank, are required 
to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital.  The OTS has established 
capital standards, including a tangible capital requirement, a leverage ratio 
(or core capital) requirement and a risk-based capital requirement applicable 
to such savings associations.  These capital requirements must be generally 
as stringent as the comparable capital requirements for national banks.  The 
OTS is also authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these 
standards on individual associations on a case-by-case basis.

     The capital regulations require tangible capital of at least 1.5% of 
adjusted total assets (as defined by regulation).  Tangible capital generally 
includes common stockholders' equity and retained earnings, and certain 
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock.  In addition, all intangible assets, 
other than a limited amount of purchased mortgage servicing rights, must be 
deducted from tangible capital.  At December 31, 1998, the Bank had goodwill 
and other intangibles of $5.6 million and $264,000 of mortgage servicing 
rights which were required to be deducted from stockholders' equity to arrive 
at tangible capital and Tier I capital.

     The OTS regulations establish special capitalization requirements for 
savings associations that own subsidiaries.  Under these regulations certain 
subsidiaries are consolidated for capital purposes and others are excluded 
from assets and capital.  In determining compliance with the capital 
requirements, all subsidiaries engaged solely in activities permissible for 
national banks or engaged in certain other activities solely as agent for its 
customers, or meeting other criteria, are "includable" subsidiaries that are 
consolidated for capital purposes in proportion to the association's level of 
ownership, including the assets of includable subsidiaries in which the 
association has a minority interest that is not consolidated for GAAP 
purposes.  For excludable subsidiaries the debt and equity investments in 
such subsidiaries are deducted from assets and capital. The subsidiary of the 
Bank is an includable subsidiary.

     At December 31, 1998, the Bank had tangible capital of $42.8 million, or 
6.4% of adjusted total assets, which is $16.0 million above the minimum 
requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets in effect on that date.

     The capital standards also require core capital or Tier I capital to 
equal at least 3% of adjusted total assets (as defined by regulation).  
Core capital generally consists of tangible capital plus certain intangible 
assets. As a result of the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA 
discussed below, however, a savings association must maintain a core capital 
ratio of at least 4% to be considered adequately capitalized unless its 
supervisory condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3% ratio.

      The OTS regulations only allow those savings associations rated a 
composite one (the highest rating) under the safety and soundness rating 
system for savings associations to be permitted to operate at or near the 
regulatory minimum leverage ratio of 3%.  All other savings associations are 
required to maintain a Tier I capital to adjusted total assets of 4% to 5%.  
The OTS assesses each individual savings association through the supervisory 
process on a case-by-case basis to determine the applicable requirement.   
The Bank is also required to have a Tier I capital ratio to risk-weighted 
assets of 4%.  In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all 
assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, will be multiplied by a 
risk weight, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the risk inherent in the type 
of asset.  For example, the OTS has assigned a risk weight of 50% for 
prudently underwritten permanent one-to-four family first lien mortgage loans 
not more than 90 days delinquent and having a loan to value ratio of not more 
than 80% at origination


                                        32
<PAGE>

unless insured to such ratio by an insurer approved by the FNMA or the FHLMC.

     At December 31, 1998, the Bank had Tier I capital equal to $42.8 
million, or 6.4%, of adjusted total assets, which is $16.0 million above the 
minimum Tier I ratio requirement of 4% based upon the Bank's composite 
rating.  At December 31, 1998, the Bank had a Tier I capital to risk-weighted 
assets ratio of 12.9%, which is $29.5 million above the minimum requirement 
of $13.3 million.

      The OTS risk-based requirement requires savings associations to have 
total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.  Total capital consists 
of core capital, as defined above, and supplementary capital.  Supplementary 
capital consists of certain permanent and maturing capital instruments that 
do not qualify as core capital and general valuation loan and lease loss 
allowances up to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. Supplementary 
capital may be used to satisfy the risk-based requirement only to the extent 
of core capital. At December 31, 1998, the Bank had $3.0 million of general 
loss reserves, which were included in capital.

     Certain exclusions from capital and assets are required to be made for 
the purpose of calculating total capital, in addition to the adjustments 
required for calculating core capital.  Such exclusions consist of equity 
investments (as defined by regulation) and that portion of land loans and 
nonresidential construction loans in excess of an 80% loan-to-value ratio and 
reciprocal holdings of qualifying capital instruments.  At December 31, 1998 
the Bank had $22,000 of exclusions from capital.

     On December 31, 1998, the Bank had total "risk-based" capital of $45.8 
million and risk-weighted assets of $332.7 million, or total capital of 13.8% 
of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $19.2 million above the 8% 
requirement in effect on that date.

     Under FDICIA, all the federal banking agencies, including the OTS, were 
required to revise their risk-based capital requirements to ensure that such 
requirements account for interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and 
the risks of non-traditional activities, and that they reflect the actual 
performance of and expected loss on multi-family loans.  Such standards were 
adopted with the enactment of FDICIA.

     The OTS had adopted a rule that required every savings association with 
more than normal interest rate risk to deduct from its total capital, for 
purposes of determining compliance with such requirement, an interest rate 
risk component ("IRR component") equal to 50% of its interest-rate risk 
exposure multiplied by the present value of its assets.  The IRR component is 
a measure of the potential decline in the net portfolio value ("NPV") of a 
savings association, greater than 2% of the present value of its assets, 
based upon a hypothetical 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest 
rates (whichever results in a greater decline).  NPV is the present value of 
expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. 
The rule provided for a two quarter lag between calculating interest rate 
risk and recognizing any deduction from capital. The OTS has decided not to 
require the IRR component to be deducted from the capital calculations of all 
institutions.  It has reserved the right to take the IRR component into 
account in assessing the capital requirements for an individual institution. 
On December 1, 1998 the OTS issued Thrift Bulletin 13a ("TB 13a"), Management 
of Interest Rate Risk, Investment Securities, and Derivatives Activities, 
which among other things established guidelines for measuring an 
institution's sensitivity to market risk.  TB 13a had a table which examiners 
should use as a starting point in their analysis of an institution's level of 
interest rate risk, assuming there were no deficiencies in the institution's 
risk management practices. Based upon an IRR exposure report prepared by OTS 
from data submitted by the Bank at December 31, 1998, the Bank was deemed to 
have "minimal interest rate risk" per the table. See "Management's Discussion 
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - 
Asset/Liability Management" in the Annual Report.

     Pursuant to FDICIA, the federal banking agencies, including the OTS, 
have adopted regulations authorizing the agencies to require a depository 
institution to maintain an additional amount of total capital to account for 
concentration of credit risk and the risk of non-traditional activities.


                                        33
<PAGE>

     The OTS and the FDIC are authorized and, under certain circumstances, 
required to take certain actions against associations that fail to meet 
capital requirements.  Effective December 19, 1992, the federal banking 
agencies, including the OTS, were given additional enforcement authority over 
undercapitalized depository institutions.  The OTS is generally required to 
take action to restrict the activities of an "undercapitalized association" 
(generally defined to be one with less than either a 4% Tier 1 to adjusted 
total assets ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risked-based capital ratio or an 8% 
risk-based capital ratio).  Any such association must submit a capital 
restoration plan and until such plan is approved by the OTS may not increase 
its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any 
new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions.  The OTS is 
authorized to impose the additional restrictions, discussed below, that are 
applicable to significantly undercapitalized associations.

      As a condition to the approval of the capital restoration plan, any 
company controlling an undercapitalized association must agree that it will 
enter into a limited capital maintenance guarantee with respect to the 
institution's achievement of its capital requirements.

     Any savings association that fails to comply with its capital plan or is 
"significantly undercapitalized" (I.E., Tier 1 risk-based or Tier I to 
adjusted total assets of less than 3% or a risk-based capital ratio of less 
than 6%) must be made subject to one or more additional specified actions and 
operating restrictions mandated by FDICIA.  These actions and restrictions 
include requiring the issuance of additional voting securities; limitations 
on asset growth; mandated asset reduction; changes in senior management; 
divestiture, merger or acquisition of the association; restrictions on 
executive compensation; and any other action the OTS deems appropriate.  An 
association that becomes "critically undercapitalized" (I.E., a tangible 
equity to total asset ratio of 2% or less) is subject to further mandatory 
restrictions on its activities in addition to those applicable to 
significantly undercapitalized associations.  In addition, the OTS must 
appoint a receiver (or conservator with the concurrence of the FDIC) for a 
savings association, with certain limited exceptions, within 90 days after it 
becomes critically undercapitalized.

     Any undercapitalized association is also subject to other possible 
enforcement actions by the OTS or the FDIC.  Such actions could include a 
capital directive, a cease-and-desist order, civil money penalties, the 
establishment of restrictions on all aspects of the association's operations, 
the appointment of a receiver or conservator or a forced merger into another 
institution.

     If the OTS determines that an association is in an unsafe or unsound 
condition, or is engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice, it is authorized 
to reclassify a well-capitalized association as an adequately capitalized 
association, and if the association is adequately capitalized, to impose the 
restrictions applicable to an undercapitalized association.  If the 
association is undercapitalized, the OTS is authorized to impose the 
restrictions applicable to a significantly undercapitalized association.

     The imposition by the OTS or the FDIC of any of these measures on the 
Bank may have a substantial adverse effect on the Bank's operations and 
profitability and the value of HMN's stock.  HMN shareholders do not have 
preemptive rights, and therefore, if HMN is directed by the OTS or the FDIC 
to issue additional shares of common stock, such issuance may result in the 
dilution in the percentage of ownership of existing stockholders of HMN.

     At December 31, 1998 the Bank would be considered to be "well 
capitalized" under the prompt corrective actions provisions mentioned above.  
See Note 20 "Federal Home Loan Bank Investment, Regulatory Liquidity and 
Regulatory Capital Requirements" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial 
Statements in the Annual Report for more information on the Bank's capital.

LIMITATIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER CAPITAL DISTRIBUTIONS

     OTS regulations impose various restrictions or requirements on 
associations with respect to their ability to pay dividends or make other 
distributions of capital. OTS regulations prohibit an association from 
declaring or paying any dividends or from repurchasing any of its stock if, 
as a result, the regulatory capital of the association would be reduced below 
the amount required to be maintained for the liquidation account established 
in connection with its mutual to stock conversion.

     The OTS utilizes a three-tiered approach to permit associations, based 
on their capital level and supervisory condition, to make capital 
distributions which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, 
cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account. See 
"- Regulatory Capital Requirements."

     Generally, Tier 1 associations, which are associations that before and 
after the proposed distribution meet their fully phased-in capital 
requirements, may generally make capital distributions during any calendar 
year equal to the greater of 100% of net income for the year-to-date plus 50% 
of the amount by which the lesser of the association's tangible, core or 
risk-based capital exceeds its fully phased-in capital requirement for such 
capital component, as measured at the beginning of the calendar year, or the 
amount authorized for a Tier 2 association. However, a Tier 1 association 
deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the OTS may be 
downgraded to a Tier 2 or Tier 3 association as a result of such a 
determination. The Bank meets the requirements for a Tier 1 association and 
has not been notified of a need for more than normal supervision. Tier 2 
associations, which include associations that before and after the proposed 
distribution meet their current minimum capital requirements, may generally 
make capital distributions of up to 75% of net income over the most recent 
four quarter period.

     Tier 3 associations (which are associations that do not meet current 
minimum capital requirements) that propose to make any capital distribution 
and Tier 2 associations that propose to make a capital distribution in excess 
of the noted safe harbor level must obtain OTS approval prior to making such 
distribution. Tier 2 associations proposing to make a capital distribution 
within the safe harbor provisions and Tier 1 associations proposing to make 
any capital distribution need only submit written notice to the OTS 30 days 
prior to such distribution. As a subsidiary of HMN, the Bank will also be 
required to give the OTS 30 days' notice prior to declaring any dividend on 
its stock. The OTS may object to the distribution during that 30-day period 
based on safety and soundness concerns. See "- Regulatory Capital 
Requirements."

     The OTS has promulgated regulations that revise the current capital 
distribution restrictions. These regulations become effective on April 1, 
1999. The regulations eliminate the current tiered structure and the 
safe-harbor percentage limitations. Under the regulations, a savings 
association that is a subsidiary of a holding company, like the Bank, must 
file either a notice or an application 30 days before declaring a dividend or 
seeking board approval of a capital distribution. A notice is required unless 
a savings association (that is a holding company subsidiary) is not eligible 
for expedited treatment under OTS regulation or would not be adequately 
capitalized after the distribution, or the distribution would cause the 
association's distributions for the calendar year to exceed its net income 
for the year to date plus retained net income for the prior two years, or the 
distribution is otherwise contrary to statute, regulation or regulatory 
agreement or condition. If any of these conditions exist, then an 
application must be filed with the OTS. As under the current rule, the OTS 
may object to a capital distribution if it would constitute an unsafe or 
unsound practice.

     In March of 1999, the Bank received notification from the OTS that 
subject to certain restrictions (which could only be calculated at the time 
of distribution) a dividend from the Bank to HMN of $4.0 million could be 
paid during 1999 and not violate the dividend limitations mentioned above.

LIQUIDITY

     All savings associations, including the Bank, are required to maintain 
an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of 
the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and 
borrowings payable in one year or less. For a discussion of what the Bank 
includes in liquid assets, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity" in the Annual 
Report. This liquid asset ratio requirement may vary from time to time 
(between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings flows of 
all savings associations. At the present time, the minimum liquid asset ratio 
is 4% or an amount that would be required to operate the Bank in a safe and 
sound manner.

ACCOUNTING

     An OTS policy statement applicable to all savings associations clarifies 
and re-emphasizes that the investment activities of a savings association 
must be in compliance with approved and documented investment policies and 
strategies, and must be accounted for in accordance with GAAP. Under the 
policy statement, management must support its classification of and 
accounting for loans and securities (I.E., whether held to maturity, sale or 
trading) with appropriate documentation. The Bank is in compliance with these 
amended rules.

     The OTS has adopted an amendment to its accounting regulations, which 
may be made more stringent than GAAP, to require that transactions be 
reported in a manner that best reflects their underlying economic substance 
and inherent risk and that financial reports must incorporate any other 
accounting regulations or orders prescribed by the OTS.

QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST

     All savings associations, including the Bank, are required to meet a 
qualified thrift lender ("QTL") test to avoid certain restrictions on their 
operations. This test requires a savings association to have at least 65% of 
its portfolio assets (which consists of total assets less intangibles, 
properties used to conduct the savings association's business and liquid 
assets not exceeding 20% of total assets) in qualified thrift investments on 
a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. For HMN 
such assets primarily consist of residential housing related loans and 
investments. At December 31, 1998, the Bank met the test and has always 
met the test since its effectiveness.

     Any savings association that fails to meet the QTL test must convert to 
a national bank charter, unless it requalifies as a QTL and thereafter 
remains a QTL. If an association does not requalify and converts to a 
national bank charter, it must remain SAIF-insured until the FDIC permits it 
to transfer to the Bank Insurance Fund. If an association that fails the test 
has not yet requalified and has not converted to a national bank, its new 
investments and activities are limited to those permissible for both a 
savings association and a national bank, and it is limited to national bank 
branching rights in its home state. In addition, the association is subject 
to national bank limits for payment of dividends. If such association has not 
requalified or converted to a national bank within three years after the 
failure, it must divest of all investments and cease all activities not 
permissible for a national bank. In addition, it may have to repay promptly 
any outstanding FHLB borrowings, which could result in prepayment penalties 
or purchase additional FHLB stock to meet the stockholder requirements of 
non-QTL members. If any association that fails the QTL test is controlled by 
a holding company, then within one year after the failure, the holding 
company must register as a bank holding company and become subject to all 
restrictions on bank holding companies. See "- Holding Company Regulation."


                                       36
<PAGE>

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     Generally, transactions between a savings association or its 
subsidiaries and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to 
the association as transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain of 
these transactions are restricted to a percentage of the association's 
capital. Affiliates of the Bank include HMN and any company which is under 
common control with the Bank. In addition, a savings association may not lend 
to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding 
company, acquire the securities of most affiliates, or purchase low quality 
assets from affiliates. The Bank's subsidiaries are not deemed affiliates, 
however, the OTS has the discretion to treat subsidiaries of savings 
associations as affiliates on a case by case basis.

     Certain transactions with directors, officers or controlling persons are 
also subject to conflict of interest regulations enforced by the OTS. These 
conflict of interest regulations and other statutes also impose restrictions 
on loans to such persons and their related interests. Among other things, 
such loans must be made on terms substantially the same as for loans to 
unaffiliated individuals.

HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION

     HMN is a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulatory 
oversight by the OTS. As such, HMN is registered and required to file reports 
with and subject to regulation and examination by the OTS. In addition, the 
OTS has enforcement authority over HMN and its non-savings association 
subsidiaries which also permits the OTS to restrict or prohibit activities 
that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings 
association.

     As a unitary savings and loan holding company, HMN generally is not 
subject to activity restrictions. If HMN acquires control of another savings 
association as a separate subsidiary, it would become a multiple savings and 
loan holding company, and the activities of HMN and any of its subsidiaries 
(other than the Bank or any other SAIF-insured savings association) would 
become subject to such restrictions unless such other associations qualify as 
QTLs and were acquired in a supervisory acquisition.

     If the Bank fails the QTL test, HMN must obtain the approval of the OTS 
prior to continuing after such failure, directly or through its other 
subsidiaries, any business activity other than those approved for multiple 
savings and loan holding companies or their subsidiaries. In addition, within 
one year of such failure HMN must register as, and will become subject to, 
the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies. The activities 
authorized for a bank holding company are more limited than are the 
activities authorized for a unitary or multiple savings and loan holding 
company. See "- Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

     HMN must obtain approval from the OTS before acquiring control of any 
other SAIF-insured association. Such acquisitions are generally prohibited if 
they result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling 
savings associations in more than one state. However, such interstate 
acquisitions are permitted based on specific state authorization or in a 
supervisory acquisition of a failing savings association.

FEDERAL SECURITIES LAW

     The stock of HMN is registered with the SEC under the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). HMN is subject to 
the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other 
requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.

     HMN stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally officers, 
directors and principal stockholders) of HMN may not be resold without 
registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. 
If HMN meets specified current public information requirements, each 
affiliate of HMN is able to sell in the public market, without registration, 
a limited number of shares in any three-month period.


                                       37

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

     The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to 
maintain non-interest bearing reserves at specified levels against their 
transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW checking 
accounts). At December 31, 1998, the Bank was in compliance with these 
reserve requirements. The balances maintained to meet the reserve 
requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board may be used to satisfy 
liquidity requirements that may be imposed by the OTS. See "- Liquidity."

     Savings associations are authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve 
Bank "discount window," but Federal Reserve Board regulations require 
associations to exhaust other reasonable alternative sources of funds, 
including FHLB borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal Reserve Bank.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM

     The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which is one of 12 
regional FHLBs, that administers the home financing credit function of 
savings associations. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central bank for its 
members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from proceeds 
derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It 
makes loans to members (I.E., advances) in accordance with policies and 
procedures established by the board of directors of the FHLB. These policies 
and procedures are subject to the regulation and oversight of the Federal 
Housing Finance Board. All advances from the FHLB are required to be fully 
secured by sufficient collateral as determined by the FHLB. In addition, all 
long-term advances are required to provide funds for residential home 
financing.

     As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the 
FHLB of Des Moines. At December 31, 1998, the Bank had $9.8 million in FHLB 
stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. In past years, the Bank 
has received dividends on its FHLB stock. Over the past five calendar years 
such dividends have averaged 7.07% and were 6.62% for calendar year 1998. For 
the year ended December 31, 1998, dividends paid by the FHLB of Des Moines to 
the Bank totaled $589,000.

     Under federal law the FHLBs are required to provide funds for the 
resolution of troubled savings associations and to contribute to low and 
moderately priced housing programs through direct loans or interest subsidies 
on advances targeted for community investment and low- and moderate-income 
housing projects. These contributions have affected adversely the level of 
FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so in the future. These 
contributions could also have an adverse effect on the value of FHLB stock in 
the future. A reduction in value of the Bank's FHLB stock may result in a 
corresponding reduction in the Bank's capital.

FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION

     FEDERAL TAXATION.  HMN and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal 
income tax returns on a calendar year basis using the accrual method of 
accounting. Prior to 1996, savings institutions were subject to special bad 
debt reserve rules and certain other rules. During this period of time, a 
savings institution that held 60% or more of its assets in "qualifying 
assets" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) was permitted to maintain 
reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions to such reserves that 
qualified as deductions from taxable income. HMN was in compliance with this 
requirement.

     A qualifying thrift institution could elect annually to compute its 
allowable additions to bad debt reserves under either the percentage of 
taxable income method or the experience method. The percentage of taxable 
income method of calculating bad debt reserves limited the applicable 
percentage deduction to 8% of taxable income and could not cause the reserves 
to exceed 6% of qualifying loans at the end of the taxable year. HMN used the 
experience method to calculate additions to tax bad debt reserves through tax 
year 1995.


                                       38
<PAGE>

     Beginning in 1996, the favorable bad debt method described above was 
repealed putting savings institutions on the same tax bad debt method as 
commercial banks. This legislation required recapture of the amount of the 
tax bad debt reserves to the extent that they exceed the adjusted base year 
reserve ("the applicable excess reserves"). The applicable excess reserves 
are recaptured over a six-year period. This recapture period can be deferred 
for a period of up to two years to the extent that a certain residential 
lending test is met. HMN has previously provided taxes for the applicable 
excess reserves.

     In addition to the regular income tax, corporations, including savings 
associations such as the Bank, generally are subject to a minimum tax. An 
alternative minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on 
alternative minimum taxable income, which is the sum of a corporation's 
regular taxable income (with certain adjustments) and tax preference items, 
less any available exemption. The alternative minimum tax is imposed to the 
extent it exceeds the corporation's regular income tax and net operating 
losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income.

     To the extent earnings appropriated to a savings association's bad debt 
reserves for "qualifying real property loans" and deducted for federal income 
tax purposes before 1988 exceed the allowable amount of such reserves 
computed under the experience method and to the extent of the association's 
supplemental reserves for losses on loans ("Excess"), such Excess may not, 
without adverse tax consequences, be utilized for the payment of cash 
dividends or other distributions to a shareholder (including distributions on 
redemption, dissolution or liquidation) or for any other purpose (except to 
absorb bad debt losses). As of December 31, 1998, the Bank's Excess for tax 
purposes totaled approximately $8.8 million.

     HMN was incorporated in 1994 and filed its first consolidated Federal 
income tax return with its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1994. 
The return required to be filed for 1998 has been extended and will be filed 
by September 1999. The Bank and its consolidated subsidiaries have been 
audited by the IRS with respect to consolidated federal income tax returns 
through December 31, 1983. With respect to years examined by the IRS, either 
all deficiencies have been satisfied or sufficient reserves have been 
established to satisfy asserted deficiencies. In the opinion of management, 
any examination of still open returns (including returns of subsidiaries and 
predecessors of, or entities merged into, the Bank) would not result in a 
deficiency which could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated 
financial condition of HMN.

     MINNESOTA TAXATION.  HMN and its subsidiaries that operate in Minnesota 
are subject to Minnesota state taxation. A Minnesota corporation's income or 
loss is allocated based on a three-factor apportionment of the corporation's 
Minnesota gross receipts, payroll and property over the total gross receipts, 
payroll and property of all corporations in the unitary group. The corporate 
tax rate in Minnesota is 9.8%. The Minnesota Alternative Minimum Tax rate is 
5.8%.

     The Bank and it subsidiaries have not been audited by the Minnesota 
taxation authorities.

     IOWA TAXATION.  On December 5, 1997 the Bank acquired MFC and its 
subsidiaries which were located in the state of Iowa. The Bank is now subject 
to Iowa Franchise tax on an apportionment basis weighted based upon deposits 
located within Iowa to total deposits of the Bank. Income apportioned to Iowa 
is subject to a 5% tax rate.

     DELAWARE TAXATION.  As a Delaware holding company, HMN is exempted from 
Delaware corporate income tax but is required to file an annual report with 
and pay an annual fee to the State of Delaware. HMN is also subject to an 
annual franchise tax imposed by the State of Delaware.

                        CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

     THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and
entered into as of this 1st day of April 1998, by and between HOME FEDERAL
SAVINGS BANK, a federally chartered savings institution  (which,  together with
any successor thereto which executes and delivers the assumption agreement
provided for in Section ll(a) hereof or which otherwise becomes bound by the
terms and provisions of this  Agreement  by  operation  of law, is hereinafter
referred to as the "Company"), and Michael McNeil (the "Employee").

     WHEREAS, the Employee is currently serving as Senior Vice President of the
Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company is a federally chartered stock savings bank and the
wholly-owned  subsidiary of HMN Financial, Inc. (the "Holding Company"); and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company recognizes that, as is the
case with publicly held corporations generally, the possibility of a change in
control of the Company or Holding Company may exist and that such possibility,
and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may
result in the departure or distraction of key management personnel to the
detriment of the Company, the Holding Company and their respective stockholders;
and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company believes it is in the best
interests of the Company to enter into this Agreement with the Employee in order
to assure continuity of management of the Company and to reinforce and encourage
the continued attention and dedication of the Employee to the Employee's
assigned duties without distraction in the face  of  potentially disruptive
circumstances arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company
or the Holding Company, although no such change is now contemplated; and

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved and authorized
the execution of this Agreement with the Employee to take effect as stated in
Section 1 hereof;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the respective
covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained, it is AGREED as
follows:

1.   TERM OF AGREEMENT.

     The term of this Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced as of the date
of the execution of this agreement and shall continue for a period of thirty
(30) full calendar months thereafter.  Commencing on the first anniversary of
the execution of this agreement and on each anniversary thereafter, this


<PAGE>


Agreement shall be extended for a period of twelve (12) months in addition to
the then-remaining term of employment under this Agreement, unless either the
Company or the Employee gives contrary written notice to the other not less than
90 days in advance of the date on which the term of employment under this
Agreement would  otherwise  be extended, and PROVIDED THAT no extension shall
occur unless prior to each anniversary of the Execution Date, the Board of
Directors of the Company has reviewed a formal evaluation of the Employee's
performance during the year preceding such anniversary prepared by the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company and explicitly
approved such extension of the term of this Agreement.

2.   PAYMENTS TO THE EMPLOYEE UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL.

     (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as herein defined) of the
Company or the Holding Company followed at any time during the term of this
Agreement by the involuntary termination of the Employee's employment, other
than for cause, as defined in Section 2(d) hereof, the provisions of Section 3
shall apply.

     (b)  A "change in control" of the Company or the Holding Company is defined
solely as any acquisition of control (other than by a trustee or other fiduciary
holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Holding Company or a
subsidiary of the Holding Company), as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 574.4, or
any successor regulation, of the Company or Holding Company which would require
the filing of an application for acquisition of control or notice of change in
control in a manner as set forth in 12 C.F.R. Section 574.3, or any successor
regulation.

     (c)  The Employee's employment under this Agreement may be terminated at
any time by the Board of Directors of the Company. The terms "involuntary
termination" or "involuntarily terminated" in this Agreement shall refer to the
termination of the employment of Employee without the Employee's express written
consent. In addition, any of the following actions, shall constitute involuntary
termination  of  employment unless consented to in writing by the Employee:  (1)
change in the principal workplace of the Employee to a location outside of a 20
mile radius from the Company's headquarters office as of the date hereof; (2) a
material demotion of the Employee or material adverse change in the salary,
perquisites, benefits, contingent benefits or vacation time which had
theretofore been provided to the Employee, other than as part of an overall
program applied uniformly and with equitable effect to all members of the senior
management of the Company or-the Holding Company; and (3)  a material permanent
increase in the required hours of work or the workload of the Employee.

     (d)  The Employee shall not have the right to receive termination benefits
pursuant to Section 3 hereof upon termination for cause.  For purposes of this
Agreement, termination for "cause" shall include termination for personal
dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of a fiduciary duty
involving personal 


<PAGE>

profit, intentional failure to perform stated duties, willful violation of any
material law, rule, or regulation (other than a law, rule or regulation relating
to a traffic violation or similar offense) or final cease-and-desist order, or
material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

3.   TERMINATION BENEFITS.

     (a)  Upon the occurrence of a change in control, followed by the
involuntary termination of the Employee's employment, other than for cause, the
Company shall pay to the Employee in a lump sum in cash within 25 business days
after the date of severance of employment an amount equal to 299 percent of the
Employee's "base amount" of compensation, as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended  ("Code").   At the election of
the Employee, such payment may be made, on a pro rata basis, semi-monthly during
the twelve (12) months following the Employee's termination.

     (b)  Upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company or the
Holding Company followed by the involuntary termination of the Employee's
employment, other than for cause, the Company shall cause life and health
insurance coverage substantially similar to the coverage maintained by the
Company for the Employee immediately prior to such termination to be maintained
for a period of twelve (12) months or for the remaining term of this Agreement,
whichever is greater.

4.   CERTAIN REDUCTION OF PAYMENTS BY THE COMPANY.

     (a)  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the 
event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company 
to or for the benefit of the Employee (whether paid or payable or distributed 
or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (a 
"Payment") would be nondeductible (in whole or part) by the Company for 
Federal income tax purposes because of Section 28OG of the Code, then the  
aggregate present value of amounts payable or distributable to or for the 
benefit of the Employee pursuant to this Agreement (such amounts payable or 
distributable pursuant to this Agreement are hereinafter referred to as 
"Agreement Payments") shall be reduced to the Reduced Amount.  The "Reduced 
Amount" shall be an amount, not less than zero, expressed in present value 
which maximizes the aggregate present value of Agreement Payments without 
causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 
280G of the Code.  For purposes of this Section 4, present value shall be 
determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code.

     (b)  All determinations required to be made under this Section 4 shall be
made by the Company's independent auditors, or at the election of such auditors
by such other firm or individuals of recognized expertise as such auditors may
select (such auditors or, if applicable,  such other firm or individual,  are
hereinafter 


<PAGE>

referred to as the "Advisory Firm"). The Advisory Firm shall within ten business
days of the Date of Termination, or at such earlier time as is requested by the
Company, provide to both the Company and the Employee an opinion (and detailed
supporting calculations) that the Company has substantial authority to deduct
for federal income tax purposes the full amount of the Agreement Payments and
that the Employee has substantial authority not to report on his/her federal
income tax return any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code with
respect to the Agreement Payments. Any such determination and opinion by the
Advisory Firm shall be binding upon the Company and the Employee. The Employee
shall determine which and how much, if any, of the Agreement Payments shall be
eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 4,
provided that, if the Employee does not make such determination within ten
business days of the receipt of the calculations made by the Advisory Firm, the
Company shall elect which and how much, if any, of the Agreement Payments shall
be eliminated or reduced consistent with the requirements of this Section 4 and
shall notify the Employee promptly of such election. Within five business days
of the earlier of (i) the Company's receipt of the Employee's determination
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Agreement or (ii) the
Company's election in lieu of such determination, the Company shall pay to or
distribute to or for the benefit of the Employee such amounts as are then due
the Employee under this Agreement. The Company and the Employee shall cooperate
fully with the Advisory Firm, including without limitation providing to the
Advisory Firm all information and materials reasonably requested by it, in
connection with the making of the determinations required under this Section 4.

     (c)  As a result of uncertainty in application of Section 28OG of the Code
at the time of the initial determination by the Advisory Firm hereunder, it is
possible that Agreement Payments will have been made by the Company which should
not have been made ("Overpayment") or that additional Agreement Payments will
not have been made by the Company which should have been made ("Underpayment"),
in each case, consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. 
In the event that the Advisory Firm, based upon the assertion by the Internal
Revenue Service against the Employee of a deficiency which the Advisory Firm
believes has a high probability of success determines that an Overpayment has
been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Company to or for the
benefit of Employee shall be treated for all purposes as a loan AB INITIO which
the Employee shall repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable
federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however,
that no such loan shall be deemed to have been made and no amount shall be
payable by the Employee to the Company if and to the extent such deemed loan and
payment would not either reduce the amount on which the Employee is subject to
tax under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such
taxes.  In the event that the Advisory Firm,  based upon controlling preceding
or other substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has 


<PAGE>

occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for
the benefit of the Employee together with interest at the applicable federal
rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

5.   REQUIRED REGULATORY PROVISIONS.

     (a)  The Company may terminate the Employee's employment at any time, but
any termination by the Company, other than a termination for cause, shall not
prejudice the Employee's right to compensation or other benefits under this
Agreement.  The Employee shall not have the right to receive compensation or
other benefits for any period after a termination for cause as defined in
Section 2(d) hereinabove.

     (b)  If the Employee is suspended from office and/or temporarily prohibited
from participating in the conduct of the Company's affairs by a notice served
under Section 8(e)(3)  or (g)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA"),
12 U.S.C. Section 1818(e)(3) and (g)(l),  the Company's obligations under this
Agreement shall be suspended as of the date of service, unless stayed by
appropriate proceedings.  If the charges in the notice are dismissed, the
Company may in its discretion  (i) pay the Employee all or part of the
compensation withheld while its obligations under this Agreement were suspended,
and (ii) reinstate in whole or in part any of the obligations which were
suspended.

     (c)  If the Employee is removed from office and/or permanently 
prohibited from participating in the conduct of the Company's affairs by an 
order issued under Section 8(e)(4) or (g)(l) of the FDIA, 12 U.S.C. Section 
1818(e)(4) or (g)(l), all obligations of the Company under this Agreement 
shall terminate, as of the effective date of the order, but vested rights of 
the parties shall not be affected.

     (d)  If the Company becomes in default (as defined in Section 3(x)(1) of
the FDIA), all obligations under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date
of default, but this provision shall not affect any vested rights of the
parties.

     (e)  All obligations under this Agreement may be terminated, except to the
extent determined that continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the
continued operation of the Company:   (i) by the Director or his or her
designee, at the time the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation  enters into an
agreement to provide assistance to or on behalf of the Company under the
authority contained in Section 13(c) of the FDIA, or (ii) by the Director of the
Office of Thrift Supervision ("Director") or his or her designee at the time the
Director or his or her designee approves a supervisory merger to resolve
problems related to operation of the Company or when the Company is determined
by the Director to be in an unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the
parties that have already vested, however, shall not be affected by any such
action.


<PAGE>


6.   REINSTATEMENT OF BENEFITS UNDER SECTION 5(b).

     In the event the Employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited 
from participating in the conduct of the Company's affairs by a notice 
described in Section 5(b) hereof (the "Notice") during the term of this 
Agreement and a change in control occurs, the Company will assume its 
obligation to pay and the Employee will be entitled to receive all of the 
termination benefits provided for under Section 3 of this Agreement upon the 
Company's receipt of a dismissal of charges in the Notice.

7.   EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND EXISTING BENEFIT PLANS.

     This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto
and supersedes any prior agreement between the Company and the Employee, except
that this Agreement shall not affect or operate to reduce any benefit or
compensation inuring to the Employee of a kind elsewhere provided.  No provision
of this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean that the Employee is subject to
receiving fewer benefits than those available to him without reference to this
Agreement.

8    NO ATTACHMENT.

     (a)  Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this
Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge,  or hypothecation, or to execution,
attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of  law,  and
any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to affect any such action shall be null,
void, and of no effect.

     (b)  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit  of, 
the  Employee,  the  Company and their respective successors and assigns.

9.   MODIFICATION AND WAIVER.

     (a)  This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an instrument
in writing signed by the parties hereto.

     (b)  No term or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
waived, nor shall there be any estoppel against the enforcement of any provision
of this Agreement, except by written instrument of the party charged with such
waiver or estoppel.  No such written waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver
unless specifically stated therein, and each such waiver shall operate only as
to the specific term or condition waived and shall not constitute a waiver of
such term or condition for the future or as to any act other than that
specifically waived.

10.  NO MITIGATION.

     The amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this 


<PAGE>

Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Employee as the
result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits after the date
of termination or otherwise.

11.  NO ASSIGNMENTS.

     (a)  This Agreement is personal to each of the parties hereto, and 
neither party may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations 
hereunder without first obtaining the written consent of the other party; 
provided, however, that the Company will require any successor or assign 
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) 
to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by 
an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Employee, 
to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner 
and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no 
such succession or assignment had taken place. Failure of the Company to 
obtain such an assumption agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such 
succession or assignment shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall 
entitle the Employee to compensation from the Company in the same amount and 
on the same terms as the compensation pursuant to Section 3 hereof.   For 
purposes of implementing the provisions of this Section 11(a), the date on 
which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of 
Termination.

     (b)  This Agreement and all rights of the Employee hereunder shall inure to
the benefit of and be enforceable by the Employee's personal and legal
representatives, executors,  administrators, successors, heirs, distributees,
devisees and legatees.   If the Employee should die while any amounts would
still be payable to the Employee hereunder if the Employee had continued to
live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid  in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the Employee's devisee, legatee
or other designee or if there is no such designee, to the Employee's estate.

12.  NOTICE.

     For the purposes of this Agreement, notices and all other communications
provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
been duly given when personally delivered or sent by certified mail, return
receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at its main office
to the attention of the Board of Directors of the Company with a copy to the
Secretary of the Company, or, if to the Employee, at such home or other address
as the Employee has most recently furnished in writing to the Company.

13.  AMENDMENTS.

     No amendments or additions to this Agreement shall be binding unless in
writing and signed by both parties, except as herein otherwise provided.


<PAGE>

14.  PARAGRAPH HEADINGS.

     The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are included solely for
convenience and shall  not affect, or be used in connection with, the
interpretation of this Agreement.

15.  SEVERABILITY.

     The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the
invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

16.  GOVERNING LAW.

     This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States to the
extent applicable and otherwise by the laws of the State of Minnesota.

17.  ARBITRATION.

     Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection with this
Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.  Judgment may be
entered on the arbitrator's award in any court having jurisdiction.

18.  REIMBURSEMENT.

     In the event the Company purports to terminate the Employee for cause, but
it is determined  by  a court of competent jurisdiction or by an arbitrator
pursuant to Section 17 that cause did not exist for such termination, or if in
any event it is determined by any such court or arbitrator that the Company has
failed to make timely payment of any amounts owed to the Employee under this
Agreement, the Employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable
costs,  including attorneys'  fees,  incurred  in challenging such termination
or collecting such amounts.  Such reimbursement shall be in addition to all
rights to which the Employee is otherwise entitled under this Agreement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial review presents management's discussion and analysis of the
consolidated financial condition and results of operations of HMN Financial,
Inc. and subsidiaries (HMN). This review should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and other financial data beginning on page 29.

GENERAL

HMN was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of
becoming the savings and loan holding company of Home Federal Savings Bank (the
Bank) in connection with the Bank's conversion from a federally chartered mutual
savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank, pursuant to its plan
of conversion. The conversion was completed on June 29, 1994. Refer to Note 19
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding
the Bank's stock conversion.

     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, gains from the sale of loans, service charges, fees,
earnings or losses in limited partnership investments and other income. In
addition, net income is also affected by the level of operating expenses,
provisions made for loan losses and impairment reserve adjustments required on
mortgage servicing assets.

     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 deposits 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. The interest rates
charged by the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) on advances to the Bank also have a
significant impact on the Bank's overall cost of funds.

     In May of 1998, HMN completed a three-for-two stock split in the form of a
fifty percent stock dividend to its stock holders. Refer to Notes 1 and 17 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding
the impact of the stock split.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $4.1 million, compared to
$5.6 million for 1997 and $4.3 million for 1996. Basic earnings per share was
$0.82 for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared to $1.01 for 1997 and $0.66
per share for 1996. Diluted earnings per share was $0.77 for the year ended
December 31, 1998, compared to $0.94 for 1997 and $0.64 for 1996.

     During the majority of 1998 the interest rates that were being charged on
first mortgage loans were extremely low. As a result of the low interest rate
environment many people financed new home purchases or refinanced their current
home. The new home purchase activity and the refinancing activity caused many
existing mortgage loans to be paid off before the contractual maturity dates of
the loans. The increased prepayments caused the projected value of many mortgage
servicing assets to decline. As the result of the decline in value of mortgage
servicing assets during 1998, HMN increased its valuation reserves on mortgage
servicing assets, increased its amortization on mortgage servicing assets and
recognized its proportionate share of losses on a limited partnership investment
after the partnership established valuation reserves on its mortgage servicing
assets; resulting in an aggregate pretax charge to income of $4.3 million. The
charge reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.54.

     In comparing the year ended December 31, 1998 to the year ended December
31, 1997, net interest income increased by $1.4 million primarily due to the
increase in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that were
acquired during the December 5, 1997 merger with Marshalltown Financial
Corporation (MFC) and a low interest rate environment. Non-interest income for
1998 increased by $3.9 million due to an increase in fees, service charges and
other income; increased net gains on the sale of securities and increased gain
on the sale of loans. The increase in non-interest income was entirely offset by
the increase in losses recognized on limited partnership investments of $3.9
million. Non-interest expense increased by $4.2 million primarily due to a
larger work force, more retail banking locations and other increased operating
costs primarily related to the MFC merger; the additional staff for a commercial
lending office and the mortgage banking operations; and an increase in
amortization expense on mortgage servicing assets.

     In comparing the year ended December 31, 1997 to the year ended December
31, 1996, net interest income declined by $223,000 primarily due to a decline in
net interest-earning assets. Non-interest income increased by $800,000 primarily
due to increased net gains recognized on the sale of loans and securities and
increased revenue from fees and service charges. Non-interest expense declined
by $1.4 million primarily due to reduced Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC) premiums and the fact that there was not a Savings Association Insurance
Fund (SAIF) charge in 1997,


                                          12
<PAGE>

while there was a large charge in 1996. In September of 1996, Congress enacted
the SAIF legislation which assessed a one time charge against all SAIF insured
institutions in order to recapitalize the fund. The Bank was assessed $2.35
million which was charged directly to earnings and reduced after tax earnings by
$1.46 million. The decline in non-interest expense due to the FDIC premiums and
the SAIF assessment was partially offset by increases in compensation and
benefits, occupancy and other non-interest expenses.

     Return on average assets was 0.57%, 0.98%, and 0.78%, for 1998, 1997 and
1996, respectively. Return on average equity was 5.38%, 6.84%, and 4.82%, for
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The impact of recording the $3.6 million loss
on limited partnership investment caused 1998 return on average assets to
decline by 0.34% and 1998 return on average equity to decline by 3.22%. The
return on average assets for 1996, excluding the SAIF assessment, was 1.04%.

NET INTEREST INCOME

HMN's net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the
difference between interest earned on securities, loans and other
interest-earning assets (interest income) and interest paid respectively on
deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances (interest expense). Net interest
margin is calculated by dividing net interest income by the average
interest-earning assets. The arithmetic difference between the yield on
interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities expressed
as a percentage is referred to as the net interest rate spread.

     The following table presents the total dollar amount of interest income
from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the
interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in
dollars and rates. Non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans
carrying a zero yield.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


     Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $16.9 million,
an increase of $1.4 million, or 9.4%, from $15.4 million for the year ended in
1997. Interest income for 1998 was $48.8 million, an increase of $7.7 million,
or 18.8%, compared to $41.1 million for 1997. The increase in interest income
was primarily due to the additional interest-earning assets of $125.0 million
that were added to HMN's balance sheet on the December 5, 1997 with the MFC
merger, an increase in commercial lending activity and was offset partially by
the low interest rate environment experienced during 1998. The average
outstanding balance of interest-earning assets was $683.4 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998, an increase of $126.6 million from $556.8 million for
1997. The increase in average outstanding interest-earning assets caused
interest income for 1998 to increase by $9.1 million from interest income for
1997. During the majority of 1998, interest rates charged on first mortgage
loans for single family dwellings were very low compared with prior years. The
low interest rate environment caused many people to refinance their existing
mortgages or purchase new homes which generally resulted in their current home
mortgage being paid off. The refinancing and/or prepayment of mortgages which
occurred during 1998 was the primary cause for the yield decline of 27 basis
points in the loan portfolio from 7.92% for 1997 to 7.65% for 1998. The lower
interest rate environment of 1998 also caused the yield earned on the securities
available for sale portfolio to decline as the proceeds from the sales of
securities were reinvested in lower yielding securities or as adjustable rate
securities were repriced because the security's interest rate index adjusted
downward. Interest income earned in 1998 decreased by $1.4 million from what was
earned in 1997 due to lowering yields on interest-earning assets. Interest
expense for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $31.9 million, an increase of
$6.3 million, or 24.4%, from $25.6 million for 1997.

     For the year ended December 31, 1998 the average outstanding balance of
interest-bearing liabilities was $625.35 million, an increase of $142.25
million, compared to $483.1 million for 1997. The average outstanding balance of
deposits for 1998 was $452.9 million, an increase of $82.3 million from the
average outstanding balance of deposits for 1997. The MFC merger increased HMN's
outstanding deposits by $103.6 million. The average outstanding balance of
deposits declined during the last six months of 1998 when HMN started to lower
the rates it paid on deposit accounts which resulted in an outflow of deposits
and therefore, the average outstanding deposits for 1998 increased by only $82.3
million. Interest expense on deposits for 1998 compared to 1997 increased by
$3.6 million due to an increase in the average outstanding balance of deposits
and it declined by $559,000 due to lower rates being paid on deposits. The
average outstanding balance of FHLB advances at December 31, 1998 was $172.2
million, an increase of $59.7 million, compared to $112.5 million for 1997. The
average outstanding FHLB advances were used by the Bank to replace deposit
outflows and pay dividends to the holding company to assist in its purchase of
treasury stock. Interest expense increased by $3.4 million as a result of the
additional borrowings and it was partially offset by a $188,000 decline in
interest expense due to the lower rate environment of 1998.

     Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $15.4 million,
a decrease of $223,000, or 1.4%, from $15.7 million for the year ended in 1996.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $41.1 million, an
increase of $1.2 million, or 3.1%, compared to $39.9 million for the year ended
in 1996. The increased interest income was primarily due to increased loan
purchases, originations and, to a minor extent, loans added as a result of the
acquisition of MFC. Average outstanding loans receivable for 1997 increased by
$30.8 million over average outstanding loans receivable for 1996. During 1997
HMN had been increasing its investment in loans in order to increase interest
income. Interest income earned on the security portfolio decreased by $1.3
million primarily because securities were sold or matured and the proceeds were
reinvested into loans or other assets. The average outstanding securities
portfolio decreased by $16.7 million from $201.0 million at December 31, 1996 to
$184.3 million at December 31, 1997. Interest expense for the year ended
December 31, 1997 was $25.6 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 6.0%, from
$24.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. Interest expense increased
during 1997 due to additional advances from the FHLB which were used to fund
loan purchases and the purchase of MFC. The increase in interest expense totally
offset the increase in interest income and therefore caused net interest income
for the year ended December 31, 1997 to decline by $223,000 from the year ended
December 31, 1996.

     Net interest margin was 2.47%, 2.77%, and 2.89% for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Average net earning assets were
$58.0 million, $73.7 million, and $86.0 million for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. During 1995 HMN began purchasing its own
common stock in the open market and paid $17.1 million, $6.0 million, and $14.4
million during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively to purchase its own common
stock in the open market. During 1996 and throughout 1997, HMN increased its
investment in assets which were not interest-earning assets. The income or loss
on these assets is included in non-interest income. The impact of the stock
repurchase program, when coupled with purchasing investments which are not
interest-earning assets, caused HMN's net interest-earning assets to decline,
which in turn caused net interest margin to decline.

     The following schedule presents the dollar amount of changes in interest
income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the increase related to
higher outstanding balances and that due to the levels and volatility of
interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to
(i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii)
changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS

*The provision for losses on loans is the result of management's evaluation of
the loan portfolio including its evaluation of national and regional economic
indicators (including the possibility at each year end that there would be an
increase in general interest rates), such as national and regional unemployment
data, single family loan delinquencies as reported separately by the Federal
National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the Federal Home Loan Bank Mortgage
Corporation (FHLMC), local single family construction permits and local economic
growth rates and the current regulatory and general economic environment. HMN
will continue to monitor and modify its allowance for losses as these conditions
dictate. Although HMN maintains its allowance for losses at a level it considers
adequate to provide for estimated losses, there can be no assurance that such
losses will not exceed the estimated amount or that additional provisions for
loan losses will not be required in future periods.

     The provision for losses on loans for 1998 was $310,000, for 1997 and 1996
it was $300,000 for each year. Based upon management's evaluation of the loan
portfolio and its understanding of the economic conditions in the areas where it
has a concentration of loans, the provision was deemed adequate for each of the
years in the three year period ended December 31, 1998. HMN incurred $18,600 of
loan charge-offs during 1998 and it recovered $1,865 of loans previously
charged-off. HMN incurred $22,700 of loan charge-offs during 1997 and it also
recovered $7,825 on loans previously charged-off. The loan charge-offs for 1998
and 1997 were not significant and general economic conditions in the
markets served by HMN did not cause management to determine that a change in the
provision was required during those years. HMN incurred $150,000 of loan
charge-offs during 1996 which were primarily related to two loans which were not
single-family residential loans. The charge-offs were not deemed to be
indicative of a trend that would call for a higher loan loss provision. For
information on the allowance for loan losses refer to Notes 1 and 6 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income was $2.6 million for 1998, compared to $2.7 million for 1997
and $1.9 million for 1996. The following table presents certain components of
non-interest income:

</TABLE>

     Fees and service charges earned for the year ended December 31, 1998
increased by $368,000 from the fees and service charges earned in 1997,
primarily due to a $276,000 increase in mortgage loan servicing fees and a
$92,000 increase in service charges on deposit related accounts, some of which
is related to the increased number of deposit accounts from the MFC merger.
Mortgage loan servicing fees increased during 1998 because the Bank was selling
many of its fixed rate loans to FNMA and retaining the servicing. MSI also
purchased additional mortgage loan servicing assets during 1998. Fees and
service charges earned for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased by
$128,000 over the amount earned in 1996 due to an increase in fees earned on
loan servicing activities and increased fees charged on deposit accounts.

     The ability to realize gains on the sale of securities is dependent on the
type of securities in the securities portfolio and upon changes in the general
interest rate environment. During 1998, 1997 and 1996 economic conditions
existed which allowed HMN to sell securities at a net gain of $2.8 million,
$1.25 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The proceeds from the securities
sold during 1998 and 1997 were invested in the loan portfolio, used to redeem
the common stock of the MFC stockholders, invested in other assets, used to
purchase treasury stock or reinvested in securities.

     During 1998, in order to reduce its interest rate risk and increase its
other non-interest income, the Bank started selling many of its originated or
refinanced fixed rate loans to FNMA. MSI also increased its mortgage origination
and loan brokerage activity. For the year ended December 31, 1998 HMN recognized
$2.18 million of net gains on the sale of $178.4 million of primarily single
family mortgage loans. During 1997, HMN recognized $469,000 in net gain on the
sale of $46.5 million of primarily single family mortgage loans. During 1996,
HMN received $1.7 million in proceeds from the sale of primarily 30 year fixed
rate single family loans and recognized a $39,000 net gain.

     For the year ended December 31, 1998 the loss from limited partnership
investments was $3.7 million, a decrease of $3.9 million from earnings of
$220,000 for 1997. HMN's

share of a limited partnership investment in mortgage servicing rights generated
losses of $3.6 million when the market value of its mortgage servicing assets
declined due to the rapid prepayment of loans being serviced. For more
information on investments in limited partnerships refer to Note 10 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

     For the year ended December 31, 1998 other non-interest income was
$524,000, compared to $296,000 for 1997 and $488,000 for 1996. The increase in
other non-interest income of $228,000 for 1998 was principally due to an
increase in fees and commissions earned on the sale of financial planning
products and services. Other non-interest income declined during 1997 by
$192,000, from $488,000 for 1996 because during 1996 HMN recorded miscellaneous
non-recurring other income items.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $13.2 million
compared to $9.0 million for the year ended in 1997 and $10.5 million for 1996.

</TABLE>

     The $4.1 million increase in non-interest expense from 1997 to 1998 was
primarily due to the MFC merger which increased most of the above listed
components of non-interest expense. The merger added over 30 employees, three
retail banking facilities, plus data processing costs and deposit insurance
premiums for the accounts that were acquired with the merger. Compensation and
benefit costs also increased as the result of additional staff added in the
mortgage banking operation of MSI and the commercial loan, mortgage loan and
other back office areas of the Bank. During the second half of 1998 the Bank
reorganized the focus of its operations by centralizing many functions in the
corporate office and increasing its retail sales focus in each of the Bank's
branches. At December 31, 1998 HMN's total work force, after taking into account
the new hires discussed above, was 13% less than its work force was at June 30,
1998. Occupancy costs also increased as the result of opening two new retail
banking buildings, one in Spring Valley and one in Winona. Other non-interest
expense increased by $1.3 million in 1998, principally due to the increased
amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangibles of $433,000; the cost of
postage, office supplies, telephone and freight related to operating the MFC
offices, when coupled with the increased loan activity of 1998, caused
non-interest expense to increase by $368,000; and utilization of professionals
for consultation on reorganization and other matters increased by $300,000.

     The $1.5 million decrease in non-interest expense from 1996 to 1997 was due
to the one time SAIF assessment of $2.35 million not repeating itself in 1997.
As a result of the SAIF assessment recapitalizing the SAIF, the FDIC insurance
premium expense decreased by $561,000 from 1996 to 1997. The decrease in
non-interest expense was partially offset by a $999,000 increase in compensation
and benefits, an increase in occupancy of $158,000 and an increase in other
expense of $139,000. Compensation and benefits expense increased as a result of
adding new employees in mortgage banking activities, the purchase of MFC and
normal merit and salary increases to existing employees. Occupancy increased for
the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to 1996 because of the purchase of MFC
and depreciation resulting from continued remodeling and updating of offices for
new technological advances.

INCOME TAXES

HMN recorded income tax expense of $2.0 million in 1998, compared to $3.3
million and $2.5 million for 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in income
tax expense from 1997 to 1998 and the increase from 1996 to 1997 is primarily
the result of changes in taxable income between the years. For more information
on income taxes refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

     The one-to-four family real estate loans were $365.5 million at December
31, 1998, a decrease of $30.2 million, or 7.6%, compared to $395.7 million at
December 31, 1997. In order to reduce interest rate risk and generate more
income from loan sales, HMN sold approximately 44% of the one-to-four family
real estate loans that were originated or refinanced by the Bank during 1998.
The Bank also swapped $21.8 million of fixed rate one-to-four family loans for
FNMA mortgage-backed securities and then sold the securities to reduce interest
rate risk. During 1998 loan prepayments increased as a result of the low
interest rate environment. The prepayments and the loan sales were the principal
cause of the decline in the one-to-four family loan portfolio.

     As of December 31, 1997 one-to-four family real estate loans increased by
$74.4 million, or 23.1%, compared to $321.3 million at December 31, 1996. During
1997 HMN had the following one-to-four family real estate loan activity:
originated $34.0 million, purchased $67.2 million, securitized $16.6 million,
acquired from MFC $63.3 million, sold $9.0 million and received principal
repayments of $64.5 million.

     One-to-four family real estate loans were $321.3 million at December 31,
1996, an increase of $28.8 million, or 9.8%, compared to $292.5 million at
December 31, 1995. During 1996 HMN had the following one-to-four family real
estate loan activity: originated $32.5 million, purchased $55.8 million,
securitized $15.4 million, sold $2.3 million and received principal repayments
of $41.8 million.

     One-to-four family real estate loans increased $39.6 million to $292.5
million at December 31, 1995 from $252.9 million at December 31, 1994. During
1995 HMN had the following one-to-four family real estate loan activity:
originated $25.7 million, purchased $47.1 million, sold $2.4 million and
received principal repayments of $30.8 million.

     Commercial real estate loans were $29.0 million at December 31, 1998, an
increase of $18.4 million compared to $10.6 million at December 31, 1997.

loans were $11.7 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of $6.5 million
compared to $5.2 million at December 31, 1997. The Bank is in the process of
expanding its commercial loan and commercial deposit offerings in order to
increase its investment in commercial real estate and commercial business loans.
During 1998 the Bank expanded its commercial loan program by hiring people with
experience in commercial lending and has added a full service commercial
checking offering to its product list. Prior to 1998, HMN purchased commercial
business loans and commercial real estate loans primarily from third party
originators in the form of participation interests. The increase in commercial
real estate loans and commercial business loans in the table above for years
prior to 1998 is primarily due to the purchase of participation interests or
loans acquired in 1997 in connection with the acquisition of MFC.

     Home equity line loans were $19.5 million at both December 31, 1998 and
1997, compared to $11.9 million at December 31, 1996 and $3.5 million at
December 31, 1995. The home equity line did not increase during 1998 because
many customers were refinancing into fixed rate loan products and did not draw
on their home equity lines. During the second half of 1995 the Bank introduced
the revolving home equity lines of credit which loan up to 90% of the equity in
a home to the borrower. The interest rate has always been competitive and the
customers have liked the convenient features of the program.

ALLOWANCES FOR LOAN AND REAL ESTATE LOSSES

HMN recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss
will vary with, among other things, the type of loans being made, the
creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic
conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the collateral. It
is management's policy to maintain an allowance for loan losses based on, among
other things, the Bank's and the industry's historical loan loss experience,
evaluation of economic conditions, regular reviews of delinquencies and loan
portfolio quality and evolving standards imposed by OTS examiners. HMN increases
its allowance for loan losses by charging the provision for loan losses against
income. The methodology for establishing the allowance for loan losses takes
into consideration probable losses that have been identified in connection with
specific loans as well as losses in the loan portfolio that have not yet been
identified but can be expected to occur. Management conducts quarterly reviews
of the loan portfolio and evaluates the need to establish general allowances on
the basis of these reviews.

     *Management continues to actively monitor the asset quality and to charge
off loans against the allowance for loan losses when appropriate. Although
management believes it uses the best information available to make
determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments
may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic
conditions in the assumptions used to determine the size of the allowance for
losses.

     The allowance for loan losses was $3.0 million, or 0.68% of total loans at
December 31, 1998, compared to $2.7 million, or 0.62%, of total loans at
December 31, 1997, $2.3 million, or 0.66% of total loans at December 31, 1996,
$2.2 million, or 0.68% of total loans at December 31, 1995 and $1.9 million, or
0.68% of total loans at December 31, 1994. The following table reflects the
activity in the allowance for loan losses and selected statistics:

</TABLE>

     The allocation of the allowance for loan losses has increased from 1997 to
1998 for multi-family real estate, commercial real estate construction or
development, and commercial business loans because HMN has experienced more loan
activity in those categories. The allocation of the allowance for consumer loans
also increased from 1997 to 1998 because of the level of charge-offs being
experienced in the consumer category. The allocated one-to-four family real
estate declined from 1997 to 1998 because of the one-to-four family loan
portfolio decline and the potential for charge-offs declined due to the positive
housing market in HMN's markets.

losses:

     Real estate properties acquired or expected to be acquired through loan
foreclosures are initially recorded at the lower of the related loan balance,
less any specific allowance for loss, or fair value less estimated selling
costs. Valuations are periodically performed by management and an allowance for
losses is established if the carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value
less estimated selling costs.

REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Federal savings institutions are required to satisfy three capital requirements:
(i) a requirement that "tangible capital" equal or exceed 1.5% of adjusted total
assets, (ii) a requirement that "core capital" equal or exceed 3% of adjusted
total assets, and (iii) a requirement that "risk-based capital" equal or exceed
8% of risk-weighted assets. With certain exceptions, all three capital standards
must generally conform to and be no less stringent than, the capital standards
published by the Comptroller of the Currency for national banks.

     As a result of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
1991 (FDICIA), banking and thrift regulators are required to take prompt
regulatory action against institutions which are undercapitalized. FDICIA
requires banking and thrift regulators to categorize institutions as "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized," or "critically undercapitalized". A savings institution will
be deemed to be well capitalized if it: (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio
of 10% or greater, (ii) has a Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital ratio of 6% or
greater, (iii) has a leverage (core) ratio of 5% or greater, and (iv) is not
subject to any order or written directive by the OTS to meet and maintain a
specific capital level for any capital measure. The Bank is of the opinion that
it is considered well capitalized at December 31, 1998. Refer to Note 20 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a table which reflects the Bank's
capital compared to its capital requirements.

DIVIDENDS

Prior to 1998, HMN did not pay any dividends. In February of 1998, the Board of
Directors declared a stock split in the form of a 50% stock dividend subject 
to HMN stockholder approval of an increase in the number of authorized
shares of common stock from 7.0 million to 11.0 million. At the annual meeting
of stockholders on April 28, 1998 the stockholders approved the stock split
which was distributed on May 22, 1998 to holders of record on May 8, 1998.

     During 1998 HMN declared and paid dividends as follows:

</TABLE>

     On February 2, 1999 HMN declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share payable
on March 10, 1999 to holders of record on February 24, 1999. The annualized
dividend payout ratio for the past four quarters was 36.6%.

     The declaration of dividends are subject to, among other things, HMN's
financial condition and results of operations, the Bank's compliance with its
regulatory capital requirements, including the fully phased-in capital
requirements, tax considerations, industry standards, economic conditions,
regulatory restrictions, general business practices and other factors. Refer to
Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information on
regulatory limitations on dividends from the Bank to HMN.

LIQUIDITY

*HMN manages its liquidity position to ensure that the funding needs of
borrowers and depositors are met timely and in the most cost effective manner.
Asset liquidity is the ability to convert assets to cash through the maturity of
the asset or the sale of the asset. Liability liquidity results from the ability
of the Bank to attract depositors or borrow funds from third party sources such
as the FHLB. The Bank is required by regulation to maintain a monthly average
minimum asset liquidity ratio of 4%. The Bank has maintained an average monthly
liquidity ratio in excess of the 4% requirement and does not anticipate that it
will fall below the requirement in the future.

     The primary investing activities are the origination or purchase of loans
and the purchase of securities. Principal and interest payments on mortgages and
securities are a primary source of cash for HMN. Additional cash can be obtained
by selling securities from the available for sale port-

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


folio or by selling loans. Loans could also be securitized by FNMA or FHLMC and
used as collateral for additional borrowing with the FHLB. In December of 1997
HMN, through its wholly owned subsidiary, acquired MFC by purchasing MFC's
outstanding stock with cash. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Financial
Statements for more details related to the acquisition.

     The primary financing activity is the attraction of retail deposits. The
Bank has the ability to borrow additional funds from the FHLB by pledging
additional securities or loans. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for more information on additional advances that could be
drawn upon based upon existing collateral levels with the FHLB. Information on
outstanding advance maturities is also included in Note 13.

     *HMN anticipates that its liquidity requirements for 1999 will be similar
to the cash flows it experienced in 1998 with the exception of the redemption of
the common stock of MFC which will require only $37,000. Construction
disbursements will also be reduced because both the Spring Valley and Winona
retail banking facilities were completed during 1998. Expenditures for premises
and equipment are anticipated to be $1.0 million for 1999. The cash needed to
fund the mortgage banking activities of HMN Mortgage Services, Inc. will range
from $5.0 million to $20.0 million during 1999.

     HMN's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which consist of
short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three
months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and
interest-bearing deposits. The level of these assets is dependent on the
operating, financing, and investing activities during any given period.

     Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1998 were $21.0 million, an
increase of $11.6 million, compared to $9.4 million at December 31, 1997. Net
cash provided from operating activities during 1998 was $47.8 million. HMN
conducted the following major investing activities during 1998: proceeds from
the sale of securities available for sale were $172.6 million, principal
received on payments and maturities of securities available for sale was $83.6
million, purchases were $204.9 million of securities available for sale,
proceeds of sales of loans receivable were $3.3 million, purchases of mortgage
servicing rights were $459,000, purchases of interests in limited partnerships
were $181,000, purchase of FHLB stock was $2.4 million and net increase in loans
receivable was due primarily to loan originations and loan purchases of $89.1
million. HMN spent $3.1 million for the purchase of premises and equipment and
it expended net cash for the acquisition of MFC of $3.5 million. Net cash used
by investing activities during 1998 was $44.1 million. HMN conducted the
following major financing activities during 1998: decrease in deposits of $33.3
million, purchase of treasury stock of $17.1 million, advanced money to the ESOP
of $1.5 million, received $436,000 from exercise of HMN common stock options,
paid $858,000 in dividends to HMN stockholders, proceeds from FHLB advances of
$163.1 million and repayments of FHLB advances totaled $105.4 million, proceeds
from other borrowed money of $2.5 million. Net cash provided from financing
activities was $7.8 million.

     *HMN has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $193.9
million that mature during 1999. Based upon past experience management
anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for another term. HMN
believes that deposits which do not renew will be replaced with deposits from
other customers, or funded with advances from the FHLB, or will be funded
through the sale of securities. Management does not anticipate that it will have
a liquidity problem due to maturing deposits.

     *HMN has $19.0 million of FHLB advances which mature in 2001 but have call
features which can be exercised by the FHLB on a semiannual basis. If the call
features are exercised, HMN has the option of requesting any advance otherwise
available to it pursuant to the Credit Policy of the FHLB. Since HMN has the
ability to request another advance to replace the advance that is being called,
Management does not anticipate that it will have a liquidity problem due to
advances being called by the FHLB during 1999.

MERGER AND ACQUISITIONS

From time to time HMN reviews the possibility of acquiring or merging with
different companies which would complement the business conducted by HMN.  HMN's
Board of Directors has adopted the policy of not disclosing to the public its
intent to acquire or merge until a formal definitive agreement has been signed
by all parties involved with the transaction except as otherwise required by
law.

     On December 5, 1997 HMN, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Home Federal
Savings Bank, completed its merger with Marshalltown Financial Corporation
pursuant to a merger agreement dated July 1, 1997. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the merger.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the measurement of financial position and operation results that are
primarily in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of
inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. Unlike most
industrial companies, nearly all of the assets and liabilities of HMN are
monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on HMN's
performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the
prices of goods and services.

     On August 17, 1998 HMN's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of
400,000 shares of HMN's common stock. As of December 31, 1998 HMN had purchased
121,800 shares at an aggregate cost of $1.6 million. The existing Board
authorization would allow HMN to purchase

278,200 shares of HMN common stock during 1999 at the then current market price.

MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates.
HMN's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its
investing, lending and deposit taking activities. Management actively monitors
and manages its interest rate risk exposure.

     HMN's profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden
and substantial increase in interest rates may adversely impact HMN's earnings
to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not
change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. HMN monitors
how its assets will mature or reprice in comparison to how its liabilities will
mature or reprice. The MATURITY OR REPRICING TABLE located below in the
Asset/Liability Management section of this report is used as part of the
monitoring process. HMN also monitors the projected changes in net interest
income that occur if interest rates were to suddenly change up or down. The RATE
SHOCK TABLE located below in the Asset/Liability Management section of this
report discloses HMN's projected changes in net interest income based upon
immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks.

     *HMN utilizes a model which uses the discounted cash flows from its
interest-earning assets and its interest-bearing liabilities to calculate the
current market value of those assets and liabilities. The model also calculates
the changes in market value of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities due to different interest rate changes. HMN believes that over the
next twelve months interest rates could conceivably fluctuate in a range of 200
basis points up or down from where the rates were at December 31, 1998. HMN does
not have a trading portfolio. The following table discloses the projected
changes in market value to HMN's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities based upon incremental 100 basis point changes in interest rates
from interest rates in effect on December 31, 1998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


     The preceding table was prepared utilizing the following assumptions (the
"Model 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 9% to 37%, depending on the coupon and period to maturity. ARMs were
assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 13% and 24%, depending on coupon
and the period to maturity. Growing Equity Mortgage (GEM) loans were assumed to
prepay at annual rates of between 19% and 41% 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%. FHLB advances were projected at their first call
date. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
more information on call provisions of the FHLB advances.

     Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in
the foregoing table. 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. The model assumes that the difference between the
current interest rate being earned or paid compared to a treasury instrument or
other interest index with a similar term to maturity (the "Interest Spread")
will remain constant over the interest changes disclosed in the table. Changes
in Interest Spread could impact projected market value changes. Certain assets,
such as ARMs, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a
short-term basis and over the life of the assets. The market value of the
interest-bearing assets which are approaching their lifetime interest rate caps
could be different from the values disclosed in the table. In the event of a
change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels may 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.

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 December 31,
1998 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.

     The preceding table was prepared utilizing the Model Assumptions regarding
prepayment and decay ratios which were determined by management based upon their
review of historical prepayment speeds and future prepayment projections
prepared by third parties.

     Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in
the foregoing table. 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 a substantial increase in interest rates and
could impact net interest income.

     In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates,
management closely monitors interest rate risk. HMN has an Asset/Liability
Committee which meets at least on a monthly basis to discuss changes made to the
interest rate risk position and projected profitability. The committee makes
recommendations for adjustments to the asset liability position of the Bank to
the Board of Directors of the Bank. This committee also reviews the Bank's
portfolio, formulates investment strategies and oversees the timing and
implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Board's objectives in
the most effective manner. In addition, the Board reviews on a quarterly basis
the Bank's asset/liability position, including simulations of the effect on the
Bank's capital of various interest rate scenarios.

     In managing its asset/liability mix, the Bank, at times, depending on the
relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and
consumer preference, may place more emphasis on managing net interest margin
than on better matching the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and
liabilities in an effort to enhance net interest income. Management believes
that the increased net interest income resulting from a mismatch in the maturity
of its asset and liability portfolios can, during periods of declining or stable
interest rates, provide high enough returns to justify the increased exposure to
sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates.

     To the extent consistent with its interest rate spread objectives, the Bank
attempts to reduce its interest rate risk and has taken a number of steps to
restructure its assets and liabilities. During 1998 the Bank sold approximately
44% of the one-to-four family loans that were originated or refinanced during
1998. The Bank also swapped $21.8 million of fixed rate one-to-four family loans
for FNMA mortgage-backed securities and then sold the securities to

reduce interest rate risk. The Bank has primarily focused its fixed rate one-to-
four family residential lending program on loans that are saleable to third
parties and will portfolio only certain fixed rate loans that meet certain risk
characteristics. The Bank will portfolio adjustable rate loans which reprice
over a one year, three year and five year period. At times, depending on its
interest rate sensitivity, the Bank may sell seasoned fixed rate single family
loans with shorter contractual maturities than thirty years in order to reduce
interest rate risk and record a gain on the sale of loans.

     The following gap table sets forth the interest rate sensitivity of HMN's
assets and liabilities at December 31, 1998, using certain assumptions that are
described in more detail below:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


     The preceding table was prepared utilizing the Model 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 9% to 37%,
depending on the coupon and period to maturity. ARMs were assumed to prepay at
annual rates of between 13% and 24%, depending on coupon and the period to
maturity. GEM loans were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 19% and
41% depending on the coupon and the period to maturity. Mortgage-backed
securities and 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%. FHLB advances were projected at their first call
date. Refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
more information on call provisions of the FHLB advances.

     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 adjustable-rate
mortgages, 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.

     Refer to Regulatory Capital Requirements above for a discussion of the
Bank's interest rate risk component.

YEAR 2000

*HMN has inventoried its computer hardware, computer software, third party
vendors and its other non-computer equipment and has assessed or is in the
process of assessing whether the items are year 2000 compliant. The hardware
testing has been completed. The majority of the non-compliant hardware was
replaced during 1998 at a cost of $67,500. The remaining non-compliant hardware
will be replaced at an approximate cost of $7,500 in the second quarter of 1999.
The computer software inventory indicated that certain programs were not
compliant. Some of those software programs were replaced during 1998 at a cost
of $53,000. Other software programs are scheduled to be replaced with year 2000
compliant software during the second quarter of 1999 at an anticipated cost of
$27,000. HMN is also in the process of testing all computer software to
determine that the software is year 2000 compliant. The testing is scheduled to
be completed during the second quarter of 1999. The assessment of non-computer
equipment for year 2000 compliance indicated that HMN did not have any
significant issues in this area.

     *The majority of the Bank's loan and deposit data is supported by a third
party data processing center. Other third party providers support the automated
teller machines owned by the Bank and process the check clearings for the Bank's
negotiable order of withdrawal accounts ("checking accounts"). The Bank is also
reliant upon the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines and the Federal Reserve
System to properly and efficiently conduct its business. Notwithstanding the
Bank's efforts, the failure of any of these third party vendors to address their
year 2000 issues in a timely fashion may have an adverse effect on the Bank's
ability to conduct its business and/or process its customers' transactions. The
Bank's Year 2000 Committee (the "Committee") is working very closely with its
data processing center to ascertain that all software applications and hardware
will be year 2000 compliant by the second quarter of 1999. The Committee is also
monitoring the progress that other key third party providers are making toward
becoming year 2000 compliant.

     *The Committee is in the process of developing a contingency plan which
incorporates the actions the Bank will take in situations where the data
processing center or other key third party providers are not able to become year
2000 compliant and it will have a major impact on the Bank's business. The
contingency plan is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter of 1999.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
The following paragraphs 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. HMN assumes no
obligations to publicly release results of any revision or updates to these
forward-looking statements to reflect future events or unanticipated
occurrences.

     PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS
     The provision for losses on loans is the result of management's evaluation
     of the loan portfolio including its evaluation of national and regional
     economic indicators (including the possibility at each year end that there
     would be an increase in general interest rates), such as national and
     regional unemployment data, single family loan delinquencies as reported
     separately by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and the
     Federal Home Loan Bank Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), local single family
     construction permits and local economic growth rates and the current
     regulatory and general

*This paragraph contains a forward-looking statement(s). Refer to information
regarding Forward-looking Information on page 26 of this discussion.

     economic environment. HMN will continue to monitor and modify its allowance
     for losses as these conditions dictate. Although HMN maintains its
     allowance for losses at a level it considers adequate to provide for
     estimated losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not
     exceed the estimated amount or that additional provisions for loan losses
     will not be required in future periods.

     ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND REAL ESTATE LOSSES

     Management continues to actively monitor the asset quality and to charge
     off loans against the allowance for loan losses when appropriate. Although
     management believes it uses the best information available to make
     determinations with respect to the allowance for loan losses, future
     adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially
     from the economic conditions in the assumptions used to determine the size
     of the allowance for losses.

     LIQUIDITY

     HMN manages its liquidity position to ensure that the funding needs of
     borrowers and depositors are met timely and in the most cost effective
     manner. Asset liquidity is the ability to convert assets to cash through
     the maturity of the asset or the sale of the asset. Liability liquidity
     results from the ability of the Bank to attract depositors or borrow funds
     from third party sources such as the FHLB. The Bank is required by
     regulation to maintain a monthly average minimum asset liquidity ratio of
     4%. The Bank has maintained an average monthly liquidity ratio in excess of
     the 4% requirement and does not anticipate that it will fall below the
     requirement in the future.

          The Bank may fall below the 4% liquidity requirement if unforeseen
     economic conditions or unanticipated events occur which would cause our
     customers to draw abnormal amounts of cash from their accounts.

          HMN anticipates that its liquidity requirements for 1999 will be
     similar to the cash flows it experienced in 1998 with the exception of the
     redemption of the common stock of MFC which will require only $37,000.
     Construction disbursements will also be reduced because both the Spring
     Valley and Winona retail banking facilities were completed during 1998.
     Expenditures for premises and equipment are anticipated to be $1.0 million
     for 1999. The cash needed to fund the mortgage banking activities of HMN
     Mortgage Services, Inc. will range from $5.0 million to $20.0 million
     during 1999.

          The actual cash flows of HMN may be different than the anticipated
     cash flows discussed for 1999 due to unforeseen economic conditions or
     unanticipated events such as the desire of customers to close all of their
     accounts in anticipation of the year 2000.

          HMN has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $193.9
     million that mature during 1999. Based upon past experience management
     anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for another term.
     HMN believes that deposits which do not renew will be replaced with
     deposits from other customers, or funded with advances from the FHLB, or
     will be funded through the sale of securities. Management does not
     anticipate that it will have a liquidity problem due to 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 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 maturing certificates to become a liquidity problem.

          HMN has $19.0 million of FHLB advances which mature in 2001 but have
     call features which can be exercised by the FHLB on a semiannual basis. If
     the call features are exercised HMN has the option of requesting any
     advance otherwise available to it pursuant to the Credit Policy of the
     FHLB. Since HMN has the ability to request another advance to replace the
     advance that is being called, Management does not anticipate that it will
     have a liquidity problem due to advances being called by the FHLB during
     1999.

     MARKET RISK

     HMN utilizes a model which uses the discounted cash flows from its
     interest-earning assets and its interest-bearing liabilities to calculate
     the current market value of those assets and liabilities. The model also
     calculates the changes in market value of the interest-earning assets and
     interest-bearing liabilities due to different interest rate changes.

          HMN's actual market value changes for interest earnings assets and
     interest bearing liabilities may differ from the projected market values
     disclosed in the table in the Market Risk Section.

          Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis in the
     table presented in the Market Risk section. 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. The model
     assumes that the difference between the current interest rate being earned
     or paid compared to a treasury instrument or other interest rate index with
     a similar term to maturity (the Interest Spread) will remain constant over
     the interest changes disclosed in the table. Changes in Interest Spread
     could impact projected market value changes. Certain assets, such as ARMs,
     have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term
     basis and over the life of the assets. The market value of the interest-
     bearing assets which are approaching their life time interest rate caps
     could be different from the values disclosed in the table. In the event of
     a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels may
     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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


          HMN believes that over the next twelve months interest rates could
     conceivably fluctuate in a range of 200 basis points up or down from where
     the rates were at December 31, 1998. HMN does not have a trading portfolio.
     The table in the Market Risk Section discloses the projected changes in
     market value to HMN's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
     liabilities based upon incremental 100 basis point changes in interest
     rates from interest rates in effect on December 31, 1998.

          Actual interest rates could fluctuate by more than 200 basis points up
     or down from rates in effect on December 31, 1998 due to unanticipated
     occurrences such as the start of another war in the gulf. Many Asian and
     European countries are experiencing economic difficulties which may have a
     larger impact on the economy of the United States than is currently
     anticipated and thereby cause general interest rates to fluctuate by more
     than 200 basis points.

     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
     December 31, 1998 to determine if its current level of interest rate risk
     is acceptable. HMN's actual net interest income caused by interest rate
     changes may differ from the amounts reflected in the table which projects
     the estimated impact on net interest income of immediate interest rate
     changes called rate shocks. HMN's actual maturing and repricing results of
     its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities may differ
     from the amounts reflected in the gap table.

          Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented
     in each of the tables. 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 a substantial
     increase in interest rates and could impact net interest income.

     YEAR 2000

     HMN has inventoried its computer hardware, computer software, third party
     vendors and its other non-computer equipment and has assessed or is in the
     process of assessing whether the items are year 2000 compliant. The
     hardware testing has been completed. The majority of the non-compliant
     hardware was replaced during 1998 at a cost of $67,500. The remaining non-
     compliant hardware will be replaced at an approximate cost of $7,500 in the
     second quarter of 1999. The computer software inventory indicated that
     certain programs were not compliant. Some of those software programs were
     replaced during 1998 at a cost of $53,000. Other software programs are
     scheduled to be replaced with year 2000 compliant software during the
     second quarter of 1999 at an anticipated cost of $27,000. HMN is also in
     the process of testing all computer software to determine that the software
     is year 2000 compliant. The testing is scheduled to be completed during the
     second quarter of 1999. The assessment of non-computer equipment for year
     2000 compliance indicated that HMN did not have any significant issues in
     this area.

          The majority of the Bank's loan and deposit data is supported by a
     third party data processing center. Other third party providers support the
     automated teller machines owned by the Bank and process the check clearings
     for the Bank's negotiable order of withdrawal accounts ("checking
     accounts"). The Bank is also reliant upon the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des
     Moines and the Federal Reserve System to properly and efficiently conduct
     its business. Notwithstanding the Bank's efforts, the failure of any of
     these third party vendors to address their year 2000 issues in a timely
     fashion may have an adverse effect on the Bank's ability to conduct its
     business and/or process its customers' transactions. The Bank's Year 2000
     Committee (the "Committee") is working very closely with its data
     processing center to ascertain that all software applications and hardware
     will be year 2000 compliant by the second quarter of 1999. The Committee is
     also monitoring the progress that other key third party providers are
     making toward becoming year 2000 compliant.

          The Committee is in the process of developing a contingency plan which
     incorporates the actions the Bank will take in situations where the data
     processing center or other key third party providers are not able to become
     year 2000 compliant and it will have a major impact on the Bank's business.
     The contingency plan is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter
     of 1999.

          The estimated costs are dependent upon HMN's third party data
     processing center successfully converting its hardware and software to be
     year 2000 compliant. The data processing center may not successfully
     complete their conversion to all year 2000 hardware and software which may
     cause HMN's cost to substantially increase.

          The completion of all testing of computer software may determine that
     HMN will have to replace additional software at substantially higher costs
     than it currently anticipates.

          The contingency plan may not be completed or, when it is completed,
     may not address an unforeseen event that could occur and as a result of the
     event, HMN is not able to conduct its business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1997 AND 1996

NOTE 1  DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN) is a stock savings bank holding company which owns 100
percent of Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank or Home Federal). Home Federal
has a community banking philosophy and operates retail banking facilities in
Minnesota and Iowa. The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Osterud
Insurance Agency, Inc. (OAI) and MSL Financial Corporation (MSL), which offer
financial planning products and services. HMN has two other wholly owned
subsidiaries, Security Finance Corporation (SFC) and HMN Mortgage Services, Inc.
(MSI). SFC invests in commercial loans and commercial real-estate loans located
throughout the United States which were originated by third parties. MSI
operates mortgage banking and mortgage brokerage facilities located in Brooklyn
Park, Minnesota.

     The consolidated financial statements included herein are for HMN, SFC,
MSI, the Bank and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, OAI and MSL. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The following items
set forth the significant accounting policies which HMN follows in presenting
its financial statements.

MATERIAL ESTIMATES  In preparing the financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and
expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change relate to
the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real
estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In
connection with the determination of the allowances for loan and real estate
losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

     Management believes that the allowances for losses on loans and real estate
are adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on
loans and real estate, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based
on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as
an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
allowances for losses on loans and real estate. Such agencies may require
additions to the allowances based on their judgement about information available
to them at the time of their examination.

CASH EQUIVALENTS  For purposes of the statements of cash flows, HMN considers
highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

SECURITIES  HMN classifies its debt and equity securities in one of three
categories: trading, available for sale, or held to maturity. Trading securities
are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near
term. Securities available for sale include securities that management intends
to use as part of its asset/liability strategy or that may be sold in response
to changes in interest rate, changes in prepayment risk, or similar factors.
Securities held to maturity represent securities which HMN has the positive
intent and ability to hold to maturity.

     Securities available for sale are carried at market value. Net unrealized
gains and losses, net of tax effect, are included as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.

     Securities held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization
of premiums and discounts, as management has the ability and intent to hold them
to maturity.

     Premiums and discounts are amortized using the level-yield method over the
period to maturity. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined
using the specific-identification method.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE  Mortgage loans originated or purchased which are intended
for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated
market value in the aggregate. Net fees and costs associated with acquiring
and/or originating loans held for sale are deferred and included in the basis of
the loan in determining the gain or loss on the sale of the loans. Gains are
recognized on settlement date. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a
valuation allowance by charges to income.

LOANS RECEIVABLE, NET  Loans receivable, net are considered long-term
investments and, accordingly, are carried at amortized cost. Loan origination
fees received, net of certain loan origination costs, are deferred as an
adjustment to the carrying value of the related loans, and are amortized into
income using the interest method over the estimated life of the loans.

     Premiums and discounts on loans are amortized into interest income using
the interest method over the period to contractual maturity, adjusted for
estimated prepayments.

     The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount considered
adequate by management to provide for probable losses. The allowance for losses
on loans, including both the allocated and unallocated elements, is based on
periodic analysis of the loan portfolio by management. In this analysis,
management considers factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences
which include loan impairment, changes in the size of the portfolios, general
economic conditions, loan portfolio composition and historical experience.  The
allowance for loan losses is established for known or anticipated problem loans,
as well as for loans which are not currently known to require specific
allowances. Loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be
uncollectible. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is dependent upon
management's estimates of variables affecting valuation, appraisals of
collateral, evaluations of performance and status, and the amounts and timing of
future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. Such estimates,
appraisals, evaluations and cash flows may be subject to frequent adjustments
due to changing economic prospects of borrowers or properties. The estimates are
reviewed periodically and adjustments, if any, are recorded in the provision for
loan losses in the periods in which the adjustments become known.

     Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis except when
collectibility is in doubt. When loans are placed on a nonaccrual basis,
generally when the loan is 90 days past due, previously accrued but unpaid
interest is reversed from income. Interest is subsequently recognized as income
to the extent cash is received when, in management's judgement, principal is
collectible.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     All impaired loans, including all loans that are restructured in a troubled
debt restructuring involving a modification of terms, are measured at the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's initial
effective interest rate. The fair value of the collateral of an impaired
collateral-dependent loan or an observable market price, if one exists, may be
used as an alternative to discounting. If the measure of the impaired loan is
less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment will be recognized
through the allowance for loan losses. A loan is considered impaired when, based
on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable
to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Impaired loans are all loans which are delinquent as to principal and
interest for 120 days or greater and all loans that are restructured in a
troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms. All portfolio
loans are reviewed for impairment on an individual basis.

MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS  Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized and
amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing
income. HMN periodically evaluates its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for
impairment. Loan type and note rate are predominate risk characteristics of the
underlying loans used to stratify capitalized mortgage servicing rights for
purposes of measuring impairment. Any impairment is recognized through a
valuation allowance.

REAL ESTATE, NET  Real estate properties acquired through loan foreclosures are
initially recorded at the lower of the related loan balance, less any specific
allowance for loss, or fair value less estimated selling costs. Valuations are
periodically performed by management and an allowance for losses is established
if the carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value less estimated
selling costs.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT  Land is carried at cost. Office buildings, improvements,
furniture and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.

     Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated useful
lives of 10 to 40 years for office buildings and improvements and 3 to 12 years
for furniture and equipment.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF  HMN
reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable.

INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS   HMN has investments in limited partnerships
which invest in mortgage servicing assets, the common stock of other financial
institutions and low to moderate income housing projects which generate tax
credits for HMN. HMN generally accounts for the earnings or losses from the
limited partnerships on the equity method with the exception of the limited
partnership which invests in mortgage servicing assets. HMN adjusts its
investment in this limited partnership recorded under the equity method for an
amount that represents HMN's proportionate share of adjusting the mortgage
servicing assets to the appraised market value of the mortgage servicing assets.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS  Goodwill resulting from acquisitions is amortized on a
straight line basis over 25 years. Deposit base intangible is amortized on an
accelerated basis as the certificates of deposit mature over the next eleven
years following the merger. Management reviews intangible assets for impairment
as events or circumstances indicate that the assets may not be recoverable.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION  Effective January 1, 1996, HMN adopted SFAS No. 123,
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. It elected to continue using the
accounting methods prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.
25 and related interpretations which measure compensation cost using the
intrinsic value method. HMN has included in Note 16, "Employee Benefits" the
impact of the fair value of employee stock-based compensation plans on net
income and earnings per share on a pro forma basis for awards granted after
January 1, 1995.

INCOME TAXES  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.

EARNINGS PER SHARE AND STOCK SPLIT   Effective December 31, 1997 HMN adopted
SFAS No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE. SFAS No. 128 established standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with
publicly held common stock or potential common stock. SFAS No. 128 simplified
the standards for computing earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion
No. 15, EARNINGS PER SHARE, and made them comparable to international EPS
standards. It 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. Refer to Note 17 for disclosure of
EPS calculations.

     In February of 1998 HMN authorized a three-for-two stock split in the form
of a fifty percent stock dividend subject to stockholder approval to increase
HMN's authorized common stock from 7.0 million shares to 11.0 million shares. At
the annual meeting on April 28, 1998 the stockholders approved the increase in
authorized common stock. The Board of Directors then declared that the stock
dividend be distributed on May 22, 1998 to stockholders of record on May 8,
1998.

     The stock split increased HMN's outstanding common shares from 6,085,775 to
9,128,662 shares. Stockholders' equity has been


                                          34
<PAGE>

restated to give retroactive effect to the stock split for all periods presented
by reclassifying from additional paid-in capital to common stock the par value
of the additional shares arising from the stock split. In addition, all
references in the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto to number
of shares, per-share amounts, stock option data and market prices of HMN's
common stock have been restated giving retroactive recognition to the
stock split.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS  Effective January 1, 1998 HMN adopted SFAS No. 130,
REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. The statement establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. The statement requires that all items
that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be disclosed in the financial statements. Comprehensive
income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and
other events from nonowner sources. Comprehensive income is the total of net
income and other comprehensive income, which for HMN is comprised entirely of
unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale.

     The gross unrealized holding losses for the year ended December 31, 1998
were $458,384, the income tax benefit would have been $211,080 and therefore,
the net losses were $247,304. The gross reclassification adjustment for 1998 was
$2,798,575, the income tax expense would have been $1,078,223 and therefore, the
net reclassification adjustment was $1,720,352. The gross unrealized holding
gains for the year ended December 31, 1997 were $4,157,775, the income tax
expense would have been $1,684,402 and therefore, the net gain was $2,473,373.
The gross reclassification adjustment for 1997 was $1,249,569, the income tax
expense would have been $504,059 and therefore, the net reclassification
adjustment was $745,510. The gross unrealized holding gains for the year ended
December 31, 1996 were $470,801, the income tax expense would have been $189,192
and therefore, the net gains were $281,609. The gross reclassification
adjustment for 1996 was $1,029,638, the income tax expense would have been
$415,342 and therefore, the net reclassification adjustment was $614,296.

     Effective January 1, 1998 HMN adopted 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. The adoption
of SFAS No. 131 did not impact HMN's results of operations or financial
condition, but did require the disclosure of segment information. See Note 24
for the disclosure on segment information.

     Effective January 1, 1998 HMN adopted SFAS No. 132, EMPLOYERS' DISCLOSURES
ABOUT PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS which revises employers'
disclosures about pension and other post retirement benefit plans. It does not
change the measurement or recognition of those plans. It standardizes the
disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the
extent practicable, requires additional information on changes in the benefit
obligation and fair values of plan assets that will facilitate financial
analysis, and eliminates certain disclosures that are no longer as useful as
they were when FASB Statements No. 87, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR PENSIONS, No.
88, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR SETTLEMENT AND CURTAILMENTS OF DEFINED BENEFIT
PENSION PLANS AND FOR TERMINATION BENEFITS, and No. 106, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING
FOR POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS, were issued. SFAS No. 132
suggests combined formats for presentation of pension and other postretirement
benefit disclosures.  Restatement of disclosures for earlier periods provided
for comparative purposes is required unless the information is not readily
available. The adoption of SFAS No. 132 did not impact HMN's results of
operations or financial condition. Refer to Note 16 for the disclosure on
Employee Benefits.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure
those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may
be specifically designated as (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair
value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, (b)
a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or
(c) a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign
operation, an unrecognized firm commitment, an available-for-sale security, or a
foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction.

     The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that is,
gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the derivative and the
resulting designation.

- -    For a derivative designated as hedging the exposure to changes in the fair
     value of a recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment (referred to
     as a fair value hedge), the gain or loss is recognized in earnings in the
     period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged
     item attributable to the risk being hedged. The effect of that accounting
     is to reflect in earnings the extent to which the hedge is not effective in
     achieving offsetting changes in fair value.

- -    For a derivative designated as hedging the exposure to variable cash flows
     of a forecasted transaction (referred to as a cash flow hedge), the
     effective portion of the derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as
     a component of other comprehensive income (outside earnings) and
     subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction
     affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported
     in earnings immediately.

- -    For a derivative designated as hedging the foreign currency exposure of a
     net investment in a foreign operation, the gain or loss is reported in
     other comprehensive income (outside earnings) as part of the cumulative
     translation adjustment. The accounting for a fair value hedge described
     above applies to a derivative designated or an available-for-sale security.
     Similarly, the accounting for a cash flow hedge described above applies to
     a derivative designated as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a
     foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction.

- -    For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss
     is recognized in earnings in the period of change.

     Under SFAS No. 133, an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is
required to establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use for
assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement
approach for determining the



                                         35

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those methods must be consistent with the
entity's approach to managing risk.

     SFAS No. 133 precludes designating a nonderivative financial instrument as
a hedge of an asset, liability, unrecognized firm commitment, or forecasted
transaction except that a nonderivative instrument denominated in a foreign
currency may be designated as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of an
unrecognized firm commitment denominated in a foreign currency or a net
investment in a foreign operation.

     SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999. Initial application should be as of the beginning of an
entity's fiscal quarter; on that date, hedging relationships must be designated
anew and documented pursuant to the provisions of FASB No. 133. HMN is
anticipating that it will adopt SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of 2000 and is
currently studying the impact of adopting the statement on its financial
statements.

     In October 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 134, ACCOUNTING FOR
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES RETAINED AFTER THE SECURITIZATION OF MORTGAGE LOANS
HELD FOR SALE BY A MORTGAGE BANKING ENTERPRISE, which amends SFAS No. 65 to
require that after the securitization of mortgage loans held for sale, an entity
engaged in mortgage banking activities classify the resulting mortgage-backed
securities or other retained interests based on its ability and intent to sell
or hold those investments.

     SFAS No. 134 is effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after
December 15, 1998. Early application was encouraged and was permitted as of
October of 1998. HMN anticipates adopting SFAS No. 134 in the first quarter of
1999 and believes that it will not have a material impact on HMN's financial
condition or the results of its operations.

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

NOTE 2  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITIONS

On December 5, 1997 HMN, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Home Federal,
completed its merger (the Merger) with Marshalltown Financial Corporation (MFC)
pursuant to a merger agreement dated July 1, 1997. The aggregate consideration
per the merger agreement was $24.8 million, consisting of $23.7 million for 1.35
million outstanding shares of MFC stock, or $17.51 per share, and $1.1 million
for the outstanding MFC options. HMN owned 60,000 shares of MFC stock with a
historical cost of $1.0 million which were cancelled upon the completion of the
merger. The purchase method of accounting was used to record the merger
transaction.

     The transaction was funded through a combination of the sale of securities,
and short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines
("FHLB"). Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Bank is obligated to provide
cash to MFC stockholders when they submit their MFC stock or outstanding MFC
options. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997 MFC stockholders had not redeemed
shares and/or options with a value of $37,051 and $3,555,352, respectively.

     The merger consideration of $24.8 million plus the cancellation of 60,000
shares of MFC common stock owned by HMN with a historical cost of $1.0 million
was allocated as follows:

NOTE 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 1997.

     Many of the advances listed above have call provisions which allow the FHLB
to request that the advance be paid back or refinanced at the rates then being
offered by the FHLB. Call provisions are not included in the above listed
advances. All of the $19,000,000 maturing in 2001 could be called on a
semiannual basis during 1999 and of the $90,000,000 maturing in 2008,
$10,000,000 could be called on a quarterly basis starting in the third quarter
of 2001 and $80,000,000 could be called on a quarterly basis starting in 2003.

     At December 31, 1997 the Bank had an undrawn open line of credit agreement
for $5,000,000 from the FHLB.

     At December 31, 1998 the advances and $2,179,000 of letters of credit from
the FHLB were collateralized by the Bank's FHLB stock and mortgage loans with
unamortized principal balances of approximately $325,000,000. The Bank has the
ability to draw additional borrowings of $60,000,000 based upon the mortgage
loans that are currently pledged subject to a requirement to purchase FHLB
stock.

NOTE 14  OTHER BORROWED MONEY

HMN has established a $2,500,000 revolving line of credit with Norwest Bank
Minnesota, N.A. The line of credit matures September 15, 1999. The interest rate
on the line floats with the Federal Funds Rate plus 250 basis points. The line
is secured by 140,000 shares of 7.50% non-cumulative guaranteed trust preferred
securities of ABN AMRO Capital Funding Trust 1 with a carrying value of
$3,612,000.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     Retained earnings at December 31, 1998 included approximately $8,800,000
for which no provision for income taxes was made. This amount represents
allocations of income to bad debt deductions for tax purposes. Reduction of
amounts so allocated for purposes other than absorbing losses will create income
for tax purposes, which will be subject to the then-current corporate income tax
rate.

NOTE 16  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Substantially all full-time employees of the Bank, except the employees acquired
in the MFC merger, are included in a trusteed noncontributory retirement plan
sponsored by the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund. The actuarial present
value of accumulated plan benefits and net assets available for benefits
relating to the Bank's employees is not available because such information is
not accumulated for each participating institution. No contributions were
required in 1998, 1997 or 1996 because the retirement plan is fully funded. The
Bank's policy is to fund retirement plan costs accrued and there are no unfunded
past service costs. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 the
amounts charged to operating expenses were $4,900, $5,700, and $5,100,
respectively.

     HMN has a qualified, tax-exempt savings plan with a cash or deferred
feature qualifying under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the 401(k)
Plan). All employees who have attained age 21 and completed one month of
employment are eligible to participate provided they work at least 1,000 hours
in each plan year. Participants are permitted to make salary reduction
contributions to the 401(k) Plan of up to 12% of the participant's annual
salary. Each participant's salary reduction is matched by HMN in an amount equal
to 25% of the participant's salary reduction up to a maximum contribution of 8%.
Contributions above 8% are not matched by HMN. Generally all participant and HMN
contributions and earnings are fully and immediately vested. Effective January
1, 1997, for new employees HMN's contributions are vested on a five year cliff
basis. HMN's matching contributions are expensed when made. HMN's contributions
to the 401(k) Plan were $65,900, $47,800, and $41,804, in 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.

     During 1994 HMN adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ESOP) which
met the requirements of Section(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section
407(d)(6) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(ERISA) and, as such the ESOP was empowered to borrow in order to finance
purchases of the common stock of HMN. The ESOP borrowed $6,085,770 from HMN to
purchase 912,866 shares of common stock in the initial public offering of HMN.
In December of 1997 the Bank merged with Marshalltown Financial Corporation
(MFC). As a result of the merger, in February 1998, the ESOP borrowed $1,476,000
to purchase 76,933 shares of HMN common stock to provide the employees from MFC
with an ESOP benefit. The ESOP debt requires quarterly payments of principal
plus interest at 7.52%. HMN has committed to make quarterly contributions to the
ESOP necessary to repay the loan including interest. HMN contributed $673,336,
$689,636 and $713,656 to the ESOP, respectively, during 1998, 1997 and 1996.

     As the debt is repaid, ESOP shares which were initially pledged as
collateral for its debt, are committed to be released from collateral and
allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid in
the year. HMN accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position
93-6, EMPLOYERS' ACCOUNTING FOR EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS. Accordingly, the
shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in
stockholders' equity. As shares are determined to be ratably released from
collateral, HMN reports compensation expense equal to the current market price
of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share
computations. ESOP compensation benefit expense was $721,755, $885,208, and
$634,702, respectively, for 1998, 1997 and 1996.

     All employees of the Bank are eligible to participate in the ESOP after
they attain age 21 and complete one year of service during which they worked at
least 1,000 hours. A summary of the ESOP share allocation is as follows for the
years ended:

     HMN uses the intrinsic value method as described in APB Opinion No. 25 and
related interpretations to account for its stock incentive plans. Accordingly,
no compensation cost has been recognized for the option plan. Proceeds from
stock options exercised are credited to common stock and additional paid-in
capital. There are no charges or credits to expense with respect to the granting
or exercise of options since the options were issued at fair value on the
respective grant dates. Had compensation cost for HMN's stock-based plan been
determined in accordance with the fair value method recommended by SFAS No. 123,
HMN's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated below:

NOTE 18  SAIF ASSESSMENT

The Deposit Insurance Fund Act of 1996 (DIFA) was enacted on September 30, 1996.
DIFA addressed the inadequate funding of the Savings Association Insurance Fund
(SAIF). In order to recapitalize the SAIF, DIFA imposed a one-time assessment on
all thrift institutions. The Bank's assessment was a pretax charge of $2,351,563
and was recognized in the third quarter of 1996.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 19  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

HMN was incorporated for the purpose of becoming the savings and loan holding
company of the Bank in connection with the Bank's conversion from a federally
chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank,
pursuant to a Plan of Conversion adopted on February 10, 1994. HMN commenced on
May 23, 1994, a Subscription and Community Offering of its shares in connection
with the conversion of the Bank (the Offering). The Offering was closed on June
22, 1994, and the conversion was consummated on June 29, 1994, with the issuance
of 9,128,662 shares of HMN's common stock at a price of $6.67 per share. Total
proceeds from the conversion of $59,178,342 net of costs relating to the
conversion of $1,679,408, have been recorded as common stock and additional
paid-in capital. HMN received all of the capital stock of the Bank in exchange
for 50% of the net proceeds of the conversion.

     Starting in 1995 and continuing throughout 1998, HMN has been repurchasing
its own common stock in the open market. HMN purchased 960,800 shares during
1998, 298,334 shares during 1997 and 869,785 shares during 1996 for $17,122,788,
$5,988,450, and $14,364,754, respectively. The shares were placed in treasury
stock.

     Refer to Note 1 for disclosure of the stock split which occurred during the
second quarter of 1998.

     During 1998 HMN declared and paid dividends as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

     RECORD DATE         PAYABLE DATE         DIVIDEND PER SHARE
     -----------         ------------         ------------------

     May 27, 1998        June 12, 1998        $0.06
     August 27, 1998     September 10, 1998   $0.06
     December 1, 1998    December 15, 1998    $0.06

</TABLE>

     On February 2, 1999 HMN declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share payable
on March 10, 1999 to holders of record on February 24, 1999.

     HMN's certificate of incorporation authorized the issuance of up to 500,000
shares of preferred stock, but to date no shares have been issued.

     In order to grant a priority to eligible accountholders in the event of
future liquidation, the Bank, at the time of conversion established a
liquidation account equal to its regulatory capital as of September 30, 1993. In
the event of future liquidation of the Bank, an eligible accountholder who
continues to maintain their deposit account shall be entitled to receive a
distribution from the liquidation account. The total amount of the liquidation
account will be decreased as the balance of eligible accountholders are reduced
subsequent to the conversion, based on an annual determination of such balance.
The liquidation account of MFC was absorbed by the Bank as a result of the
acquisition.

     The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend to HMN in excess of 100% of
its net income to date during the current calendar year plus the amount that
would reduce by one-half the Bank's surplus capital ratio at the beginning of
the calendar year without prior notice to the OTS. Additional limitations on
dividends declared or paid on, or repurchases of, the Bank's capital stock are
tied to the Bank's level of compliance with its regulatory capital requirements.

NOTE 20  FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK INVESTMENT, REGULATORY LIQUIDITY AND REGULATORY
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, is required to hold
a specified number of shares of capital stock, which is carried at cost, in the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. In addition, the Bank is required to
maintain cash and other liquid assets in an amount equal to 4% of its deposit
accounts and other obligations due within one year. The Bank has met these
requirements as of December 31, 1998.

     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.

     Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the
following table) of Tangible, Core, and Risk-based capital (as defined in the
regulations) to total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December
31, 1998, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is
subject.

     Management believes that based upon the Bank's capital calculations at
December 31, 1998 and other conditions consistent with the Prompt Corrective
Actions Provisions of the OTS regulations, the Bank would be categorized as well
capitalized.

NOTE 21  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess
of the amounts recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of these
instruments reflect the extent of involvement by the Bank.

     The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contract amount of these commitments. The Bank uses the same
credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet
instruments.

</TABLE>

     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on
the loan type and on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral
consists primarily of residential real estate and personal property.

     Commitments of counter party to purchase loans represents commitments to
sell loans to FNMA and are entered into in the normal course of business by the
Bank.

NOTE 22  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107, DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, requires
disclosure of estimated fair values of HMN's financial instruments, including
assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items for which it is practicable to
estimate fair value. The fair value estimates are made as of December 31, 1998,
and 1997 based upon relevant market information, if available, and upon the
characteristics of the financial instruments themselves. Because no market
exists for a significant portion of HMN's financial instruments, fair value
estimates are based upon judgments regarding future expected loss experience,
current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial
instruments, and other factors. The estimates are subjective in nature and
involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot
be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect
the estimates.

     Fair value estimates are based only on existing financial instruments
without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business or the
value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.
In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized
gains and losses can have a significant effect on the fair value estimates and
have not been considered in any of the estimates.

</TABLE>


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents
approximates their fair value.

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE  The fair values of securities are based upon
quoted market prices.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE  The fair value of loans held for sale were based upon
quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates and terms to
maturity.

LOANS RECEIVABLE  The fair values of loans receivable were estimated for groups
of loans with similar characteristics. The fair value of the loan portfolio,
with the exception of the adjustable rate portfolio, was calculated by
discounting the scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using
anticipated prepayment speeds and using discount rates that reflect the credit
and interest rate risk inherent in each loan portfolio. The fair value of the
adjustable loan portfolio was estimated by grouping the loans with similar
characteristics and comparing the characteristics of each group to the prices
quoted for similar types of loans in the secondary market.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK  The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its
fair value.

ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE  The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable
approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature and does not
present unanticipated credit concerns.

DEPOSITS  Under SFAS No. 107, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity
such as checking, savings and money market accounts, is equal to the amount
payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the
discounted value of contractual cash flows using as discount rates the rates
that were offered by HMN as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 for deposits with
maturities similar to the remaining maturities of the existing certificates of
deposit. The fair value estimate for deposits does not include the benefit that
results from the low cost funding provided by HMN's existing deposits and
long-term customer relationships compared to the cost of obtaining different
sources of funding. This benefit is commonly referred to as the core deposit
intangible.

ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE  The carrying amount of accrued interest payable
approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWED MONEY  The fair values of
advances and other borrowed money with fixed maturities are estimated based on
discounted cash flow analysis using as discount rates the interest rates charged
by the FHLB or Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. at December 31, 1998 and 1997 for
borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT  The fair value of commitments to extend credit is
estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements,
taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present
creditworthiness of the counter parties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 24  BUSINESS SEGMENTS

HMN's wholly owned subsidiaries, Home Federal Savings Bank, and Mortgage
Services, Inc. have been identified as reportable operating segments in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 131. MSI was deemed to be a segment
because it is a separate corporation which operates independently from the Bank
and it is not regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision. MSI has been
segmented further into Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Banking
activities. The mortgage servicing segment owns servicing rights on loans which
have either been sold to FNMA or securitized into mortgage-backed instruments
which were issued by FNMA. MSI receives a servicing fee which is based upon the
outstanding balance of the loan being serviced and pays a subservicer a monthly
fee to service the loan. MSI's mortgage banking activity includes an origination
function and it also purchases loans from other loan originators. All loans
acquired either by origination or by purchase are intended to be resold in the
secondary loan market.

     Security Finance Corporation and HMN, the holding company, did not meet the
quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments and therefore are
included in the "Other" category.

     HMN evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segment's
net income or loss, return on average assets and return on average equity. The
segments follow generally accepted accounting principles as described in the
summary of significant accounting policies.

     Each corporation is managed separately with its own president, who reports
directly to HMN's chief operating decision maker, and board of directors.

     The following table sets forth certain information about the
reconciliations of reported profit or loss and assets for each of HMN's
reportable segments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

[LOGO]

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
HMN FINANCIAL, INC.
SPRING VALLEY, MINNESOTA:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HMN Financial,
Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1998. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HMN
Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
