               HMN FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           (Unaudited)

                     March 31, 1996 and 1995

(1)  HMN FINANCIAL, INC.

HMN Financial, Inc. (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.  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.

The consolidated financial statements included herein are for HMN, Security
Finance Corporation (SFC), the Bank and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary,
Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc. During 1995 the Bank owned 100% of the
outstanding shares of SFC.  On December 29, 1995 the Bank sold all its
outstanding shares of common stock in SFC to HMN at SFC's fair value.  All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.  

(2)  BASIS OF PREPARATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all
disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance
sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of
stockholders' equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.  However, all adjustments
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial
statements have been included.  The statements of income for the three month
period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
which may be expected for the entire year.

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods
have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. 

(3)  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR 
THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED
OF.  SFAS No. 121 applies to all entities and to long-lived assets, certain
identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets to be held and
used and to long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be 
disposed of.  SFAS No. 121 does not apply to financial instruments, long-term 
customer relationships of a financial institution (for example, deposit base
intangibles and credit cardholder intangibles), mortgage and other servicing
rights, deferred policy acquisition costs, or deferred tax assets.  Under the
provisions of SFAS No. 121, an entity shall review 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.  SFAS No. 121 applies to financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995, with earlier application encouraged. 
The effect of adopting SFAS No. 121 on 
                                    7
January 1, 1996 did not have a material impact on HMN's financial condition or
the results of its operations.

In May 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 122, ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE SERVICING
RIGHTS.  Under the provisions of SFAS No. 122, entities are required to
recognize as separate assets rights to service mortgage loans for others,
however, those servicing rights are acquired.  An entity that either purchases
or originates mortgage loans and subsequently sells or securitizes the mortgage
loans and retains the mortgage servicing rights is required to allocate the
total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage  servicing rights and the
mortgage loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative
fair values.  SFAS No. 122 also requires that capitalized mortgage servicing
rights be assessed for impairment based on the fair value of those rights.  HMN
adopted SFAS No. 122 effective January 1, 1996.  The effect of adopting SFAS
No. 122 did not have a material impact on HMN's financial condition or the
results of its operations.

In October 1995 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for
stock-based compensation plans.  It encourages entities to adopt that method in
place of the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO
EMPLOYEES, for all arrangements under which employees receive shares of stock
or other equity instruments of the employer or the employer incurs liabilities
to employees in amounts based on the price of its stock.  During 1996, as
permitted by SFAS No. 123, HMN will continue using the accounting methods
prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and will disclose in the footnotes to the
annual report the information on a fair value basis for its stock-based
compensation plans.     

(4)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per common share and common share equivalent for the three month
periods  ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were computed by dividing net income for
each period ($1,586,691 and $1,363,425, respectively)  by the weighted average
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding (4,766,220 and
5,464,135, respectively) during each period. 
                                  8

(5)  REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

At March 31, 1996 the Bank met each of the three current minimum regulatory
capital  requirements.  The following table summarizes the Bank's regulatory
capital position at March 31, 1996:



                                     AMOUNT         PERCENT<F1>

<FN>
<F1>Tangible and core capital levels are shown as a percentage of total
     adjusted assets; risk-based capital levels are shown as a percentage of
     risk-weighted assets.
<F2> In April 1991, the OTS proposed a core capital requirement for savings
     associations comparable to the requirement for national banks that became
     effective on December 31, 1990.  This core capital ratio is 3% of total
     adjusted assets for thrifts that receive the highest supervisory rating
     for safety and soundness ("CAMEL" rating), with a 4% to 5% core capital
     requirement for all other thrifts.
<F3> Calculated based on the OTS requirement of 8% of risk-weighted assets.
<F4> Beginning March 31, 1995, a savings institution whose interest rate
     risk("IRR") exposure (as calculated under OTS guidelines) exceeds 2% of
     total assets may be required to deduct an IRR component in calculating its
     total capital for purposes of determining whether it meets the risk-based
     capital requirement.  The IRR component is an amount equal to one-half of
     the difference between measured IRR and 2%, multiplied by the estimated
     economic value of its total assets.  Based on the Bank's interest rate
     risk position at December 31, 1995, the latest date for which such
     information is available, this rule would require a $5.5 million deduction
     from the Bank's capital for purposes of calculating risk-based capital. 
     The OTS currently does not require the IRR component to be deducted from
     the risk-based capital calculation but may require the deduction in
     accessing the Bank's individual capital requirements at some time in the
     future.

(6)  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK CONVERSION
     
     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 (the Offering) of its shares in 
                                 9

     connection with the conversion of the Bank.  The Offering was closed on
     June 22, 1994, and the conversion was consummated on June 29, 1994, with
     the issuance of 6,085,775 shares of HMN's common stock at a price of $10
     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.

     During February of 1996 with Board authorization and approval from the
     Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) HMN purchased a total of 121,715 shares
     of its own common stock from the open market for $1.9 million.  All shares
     were placed in treasury stock.

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


GENERAL

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

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

NET INCOME

     HMN's net income for the first quarter of 1996 was $1.6 million, or $0.33
     per share compared to net income for the same period of 1995 of $1.4
     million, or $0.25 per share.  Net income increased by $223,000, or 16.4%,
     principally due to an increase of $507,000 in net security gains which was
     partially offset by an increase of $146,000 in compensation and benefit
     expenses.  

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income for the first quarter of 1996 was $3.9 million, a
     decrease of $72,000, or 1.8%, from $4.0 million for the first quarter of
     1995.  Interest income for the first quarter of 1996 was $9.8 million, an
     increase of $687,000, or 7.5%, from the $9.1 million for the first quarter
     of 1995.  Interest income increased by $790,000 due to additional loan
     originations and loan purchases which caused the average outstanding
     balance of loans receivable, net between the two quarters to increase by
     $37.5 million.  The average yield on the loan portfolio decreased by 15
     basis points which caused interest income to decrease by $106,000.  The
     yield decreased because many of the loans purchased during 1995 and 1996
     were adjustable 
                                      11

     rate loans that had low initial rates that will adjust
     upward in later years.  Interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 was
     $5.9 million, an increase of $759,000, or 14.8%, from $5.1 million for the
     first quarter of 1995.  Interest expense increased by $283,000 due to an
     increase in the outstanding balance of deposits.  Interest expense
     increased by $248,000 because HMN paid higher interest rates in order to
     retain its deposits in the face of increased competition.  Interest
     expense on Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances increased by $227,000
     due primarily to additional borrowing from the FHLB.     
      
     Net interest margin was 2.97%, 2.94%, 2.98%, 3.05%, and 3.21%,
     respectively for the quarters ended March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995,
     September 30, 1995, June 30, 1995 and March 31, 1995.  Based upon the
     current interest rate environment HMN expects the net interest margin to
     flatten or slightly decline in at least the near term.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

     The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995 was
     $75,000.  The provision is the result of management's evaluation of the
     loan portfolio and its assessment of the general economic conditions in
     the geographic area where properties securing the loan portfolio are
     located.  Future economic conditions and other unknown factors will impact
     the need for future provisions for loan losses.  As a result, no
     assurances can be given that increases in the allowance for loan losses
     will not be required during future periods.     

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

NON-INTEREST INCOME

     Non-interest income was $701,000 for the first quarter of 1996, an
     increase of $597,000, or 575%, compared to $104,000 for the first quarter
     of 1995.  The increase was principally due to a $507,000 increase in gain
     on the sale of securities, a $35,000 increase in commission on the sales
     of uninsured investment products and a $42,000 non-recurring dividend
     payment.  

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

     Non-interest expense was $2.0 million for the first quarter of 1996, an
     increase of $171,000, or 9.5%, from $1.8 million for the first quarter of
     1995.  Non-interest expense increased by $146,000, or 15%, due to an
     increase of two employees, normal merit and salary increases and the
     impact of the Recognition and Retention Plan adopted in June of 1995.
                                   12

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

     Income tax expense was $972,000 for the first quarter of 1996, an increase
     of $131,000, or 15.6%, from $841,000 for the first quarter of 1995.  The
     increase is primarily due to an increase in taxable income between the two
     periods.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

     For the quarter ended March 31, 1996 the net cash provided from operating
     activities was $2.1 million and net cash provided from investing
     activities was $5.9 million.  HMN had $32.9 million in proceeds from the
     sale of securities and it collected another $8.1 million from principal
     payments and the maturity of securities.  HMN purchased $32.7 million of
     securities during the first quarter of 1996.  HMN purchased or originated
     additional net loans of $2.8 million and had $387,000 of proceeds from the
     sale of loans.  During the first quarter of 1996 deposits decreased by
     $5.1 million which was partially offset by  net additional borrowing from
     the FHLB of $3.6 million.  HMN also repurchased 121,715 shares of its own
     common stock for $1.9 million in the first quarter of 1996.  On May 3,
     1996, HMN announced its intention to repurchase 259,010 shares of its
     outstanding shares in the open market over the next 12 month period.

Total non-performing assets at March 31, 1996 were $740,000 a decrease of
$110,000, or 12.9%, from $850,000 at December 31, 1995.  The decrease was the
result of principal payments received as a result of the sale of properties or
loans being brought current through collection efforts.  
        
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

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

<F1>Schedule prepared based upon the earlier of contractual maturity or
    repricing date, if applicable, adjusted for scheduled repayments of 
    principal and projected prepayments of principal based upon experience.
<F2>Loans receivable are presented net of loans in process and deferred loan 
    fees.
<F3>Construction and development loans are all one-to-four family loans and 
    therefore have been included in the fixed rate one-to-four family and 
    adjustable rate one-to-four family lines.

The preceding table was prepared utilizing the following assumptions regarding
prepayment and decay ratios which were determined by management based upon
their review of historical prepayment speeds and future prepayment projections. 
Fixed rate loans were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 5% to 24%,
depending on the coupon and period to maturity.  ARMs were assumed to prepay at
annual rates of between 3% and 12%, depending on coupon and the period to
maturity.  Growing Equity Mortgage (GEM) loans were assumed to prepay at annual
rates of between 8% and 27% depending on the coupon and the period to maturity. 
Mortgage-backed securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) were
projected to have prepayments based upon the underlying collateral securing the
instrument.  Certificate accounts were assumed not to be withdrawn until
maturity.  Passbook and money market accounts were assumed to decay at an
annual rate of 20%.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the
foregoing table.  Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar
maturities and periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to
changes in market interest rates.  The interest rates on certain types of
assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest
rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag
behind changes in market interest rates.  Certain assets, such as 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.
