                    HMN FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (unaudited)

                           June 30, 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.  The information under the
heading "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS"  is written with the presumption that the users of the
interim financial statements have read or have access to the most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K of HMN Financial, Inc., which contains the latest audited
financial statements and notes thereto, together with "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS" as of December
31, 1995 and for the year then ended.  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 and all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.  The statements of income for the three month and
six month periods ended June 30, 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 June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)  No. 125, ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND
SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES which provides
accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishment of liabilities based on consistent application of a
financial-components approach that focuses on control.  It distinguishes
transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured
borrowings.  Under the financial-components approach, after a transfer of
financial assets, an entity recognizes all financial and servicing assets it
controls and liabilities it has incurred and derecognizes financial assets it
no longer controls and liabilities that have been extinguished.  The financial-
components approach focuses on the assets and liabilities that exist after the
transfer.  Many of these assets and liabilities are components of financial
assets that existed prior to the transfer.  If a transfer does not meet the
criteria for a sale, the transfer is accounted for as a secured borrowing with
pledge of collateral.  SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31,
1996, and must be applied prospectively.  Management is currently studying the
effect of adopting SFAS No. 125.    

(4)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per common share and common share equivalent for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were computed by dividing net income for each
period ($1,533,084 and $1,405,472 respectively)  by the weighted average common
shares and common share equivalents outstanding (4,580,792 and 5,234,242,
respectively) during each period.  Earnings per common share and common share
equivalent for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were computed by
dividing net income for each period ($3,119,775 and $2,768,897, respectively)
by the weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding
(4,673,506 and 5,348,554, respectively) during each period.

<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 March 31, 1996, the latest date for which such
     information is available, this rule would require an $8.5 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 

                                        9


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 
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 1996, with Board authorization and approval from the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS), HMN purchased a total of 380,725 shares of its own common
stock from the open market for $5,955,302.  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 second quarter of 1996 was $1.5 million, or $0.34 per
share compared to net income for the same quarter of 1995 of $1.4 million, or
$0.27 per share.  Net income increased by $128,000, or 9.1%, principally due to
an increase of $274,000 in net security gains which was partially offset by an
increase of $121,000 in compensation and benefit expenses.  Earnings per share
for the second quarter of 1996 increased $0.07, or 26%, due to the increased
earnings and the repurchase of HMN's own common stock in the open market.  Net
income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period
of 1995 increased by $351,000, or 12.7%, principally due to an increase of
$781,000 in net security gains which was partially offset by an increase of
$267,000 in compensation and benefit expenses.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $4.0 million for both the second quarter of 1996 and
the second quarter of 1995.  HMN has been purchasing its own stock in the open
market at an average price that is less than its current book value.  The
balance sheet impact of the stock repurchase program has been to reduce equity
and replace it with 
                                       11


additional advances and/or deposit growth. Comparing the three month period
ended June 30, 1996 to the same three month period in 1995, average interest-
earning assets increased by $16.2 million due primarily to loan purchases and
average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $24.9 million due to advances
and deposit growth.  The changes caused interest income for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, adjusted for interest rate changes, to increase by
$308,000 for the same period in 1995, and interest expense for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, adjusted for interest rate changes, to increase by
$292,000 for the same period in 1995.   Net interest income for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 was $7.91 million, a decrease of $56,000, or 0.7%, from
$7.97 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  Comparing the six month
period ended June 30, 1996 to the same six month period in 1995, average
interest-earning assets increased by $21.8 million due primarily to loan
purchases and average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $29.2 million
due to advances and deposit growth.  As a result of the changes, interest
income for the first six months of 1996, adjusted for interest rate changes,
increased by $995,000 for the same period in 1995 and interest expense for the
first six months of 1996, adjusted for interest rate changes, increased by
$1,051,000 for the same period in 1995.

Net interest margin was 2.98%, 2.97%, 2.94%, 2.98% and 3.05%, respectively for
the quarters ended June 30, 1996, March 31, 1996, December 31, 1995, September
30, 1995 and June 30, 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 second quarter of 1996 and 1995 was
$75,000.  The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995 was $150,000.  The provision is the result of management's evaluation
of the loan portfolio, a historically low level of non-performing loans,
minimal loan charge off experience, and its assessment of the general economic
conditions in the geographic area where properties securing the loan portfolio
are located.  Management's evaluation did not reveal conditions that would
cause it to increase the provision for loan losses during 1996 compared to
1995.  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 $485,000 for the second quarter of 1996, an increase of
$304,000, or 168%, compared to $181,000 for the second quarter of 1995.  The
increase was principally due to a $274,000 increase in gain on the sale of
securities, a $33,000 increase in commissions earned on the sale of uninsured
products and a 
                                       12


$71,000 increase in other income which was partially offset by a $76,000
decrease in gain on sale of loans.  During 1996 fixed rate and floating rate
collateralized mortgage obligation securities (CMOs) and other securities were
sold in order to assist in funding the purchase and origination of loans and to
change the interest rate risk profile of the available for sale security
portfolio.   Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$1.2 million, an increase of $901,000, or 316%, compared to $285,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase was principally due to a $781,000
increase in gain on the sale of securities, a $69,000 increase in commissions
earned on the sale of uninsured products and a $115,000 increase in other
income which was partially offset by a $70,000 decrease in gain on sale of
loans. 

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense was $1.98 million for the second quarter of 1996, an
increase of $147,000, or 8%, from $1.84 million for the second quarter of 1995. 
The majority of the increase in non-interest expense between the two quarters
was due to a $121,000, or 12.4%, increase in compensation and benefits and was
the result of adding new employees, normal merit and salary increases and the
impact of awards granted under the Recognition and Retention Plan adopted in
June of 1995.  Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$3.967 million, an increase of $318,000, or 8.7%, from $3.649 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1995.  The principal cause for the increase in non-
interest expense between the two periods was due to a $267,000, or 13.8%,
increase in compensation and benefits expense and was the result of adding new
employees, normal merit and salary increases and the impact of awards granted
under the Recognition and Retention Plan adopted in June of 1995. 

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense was $888,000 for the second quarter of 1996, an increase of
$45,000, or 5.4%, from $842,000 for the second quarter of 1995 and is primarily
due to an increase in taxable income between the two periods.  Income tax
expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $1.9 million, an increase of
$176,000, or 10.5%, from $1.7 million for the same period in 1995 primarily due
to an increase in taxable income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

For the six months ended June 30, 1996 the net cash provided from operating
activities was $3.3 million, net cash used for investing activities was $17.5
million and net cash provided by financing activities was $15.8 million.  HMN
had $49.5 million in proceeds from the sale of securities and it collected
another $15.1 million from principal payments and the maturity of securities. 
HMN purchased $54.1 million of securities during 1996.  HMN purchased or
originated additional net loans of $27.0 million and had $517,000 of proceeds
from the sale of loans.  During 1996 deposits decreased by $10.3 million which
was offset by net additional borrowing from the FHLB of $32.2 million.  HMN
also repurchased 380,725 shares of its own common stock for $5.955 million
during 1996.  During July of 1996, HMN completed the purchase of another
240,060 shares of its own common stock in the open market.
                                       13


HMN has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $155.8 million
that mature from July of 1996 through June 30, 1997.  Based upon past
experience management anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew
for another term with the Bank.  Any deposits which do not renew will be
replaced with deposits from other customers, or funded with advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank, or will be funded through the sale of securities. 
Management does not anticipate that it will have a liquidity problem with the
deposit maturities.

Total non-performing assets at June 30, 1996 were $523,000, a decrease of
$327,000, or 38.5%, 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.
