Overview

HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) is the stock savings bank holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), which operates community retail, private banking and loan production offices in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. The earnings of the Company are primarily dependent on the Bank's net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances. The difference between the average rate of interest earned on assets and the average rate paid on liabilities is the "interest rate spread". Net interest income is produced when interest-earning assets equal or exceed interest-bearing liabilities and there is a positive interest rate spread. Net interest income and net interest rate spread are affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. The Company's net earnings are also affected by the generation of non-interest income, which consists primarily of gains from the sale of loans and real estate owned, fees for servicing loans, and the generation of fees and service charges on deposit accounts. The Bank incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in the form of salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses, provisions for loan losses, deposit insurance, amortization of mortgage servicing assets, and income taxes. The earnings of financial institutions, such as the Bank, are also significantly affected by prevailing economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government monetary and fiscal policies, and regulations of various regulatory authorities. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of business credit, single family and commercial properties, 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 on competing investments, account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Between 2008 and 2011, the Company’s commercial business and commercial real estate loan portfolios required significant charge offs due primarily to decreases in the estimated value of the underlying collateral supporting the loans, as many of these loans were made to borrowers in or associated with the real estate industry. The decrease in the estimated collateral value was primarily the result of reduced demand for real estate, particularly as it relates to single-family and commercial land developments. More stringent lending standards implemented by the mortgage industry in those years made it more difficult for borrowers with marginal credit to qualify for a mortgage. This decrease in available credit and the overall weakness in the economy further reduced the demand for single family homes and the values of existing properties and developments where the Company’s commercial loan portfolio had concentrations. Consequently, our level of non-performing assets and the related provision for loan losses and charge-offs increased significantly during these years, relative to prior periods. The increased levels of non-performing assets, related provisions for loan losses and loan charge-offs, expenses associated with real estate owned, and the valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets arising from the adverse operating results, were the primary reasons for the net losses incurred by the Company in each of the years 2008 through 2011. Beginning in 2012 and continuing into 2014, commercial real estate values stabilized and fewer charge offs were recorded than in the 2008-2011 period. In addition, non-performing assets and expenses associated with real estate owned have continued to decline in 2013 and 2014, which had a positive effect on earnings.

The Company took a number of measures since 2008 to address its elevated level of non-performing assets, improve operating results, and establish adequate levels of liquidity and capital resources. Those measures included, among others, obtaining $26 million in additional capital through the sale of preferred stock to the United States Treasury, substantially all of which was contributed to the capital of the Bank. The Bank’s asset size was also reduced by decreasing the outstanding wholesale funding amounts and selling or closing branches. These changes contributed to net assets being reduced $568 million from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2014, which improved the Bank’s capital ratios. The Company also hired additional experienced commercial credit review staff, implemented new loan credit approval processes, updated credit policies and procedures, and implemented additional commercial loan review procedures in order to improve the credit quality of commercial loans being added to the Bank’s portfolio and reduce commercial loan concentrations and non-performing assets. Additional resources were also allocated to establishing and maintaining remediation plans on all classified loans in order to improve the monitoring and ultimate collection of these loans. Because of these efforts, and the relative stabilization of commercial real estate values, the level of non-performing assets and related loan losses have continued to decline compared to the four years prior to 2012. The Company’s financial results in 2012 and 2013 also improved, which resulted in the reversal of the entire valuation reserve against its deferred tax asset in 2013.

Because of the losses incurred and elevated levels of non-performing assets, the Company and the Bank, effective February 22, 2011, each entered into a supervisory agreement (the “Company Supervisory Agreement” and the “Bank Supervisory Agreement”, respectively, and, collectively, the “Supervisory Agreements”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), their primary federal regulator at the time. The Supervisory Agreements superseded the memoranda of understanding between each of the Company and the Bank that were entered into with the OTS in December 2009. As required by the Company Supervisory Agreement, the Company submitted an initial consolidated capital plan in May of 2011 and updated two year capital plans in January of 2012, 2013, and 2014 and submitted periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. In addition, the Company could not incur or issue any debt, guarantee the debt of any entity, declare or pay any cash dividends or repurchase any of the Company’s capital stock, enter into any new contractual arrangement or renew or extend any existing arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any director or officer, or make any golden parachute payments, without the consent of the FRB (as successor to the OTS with respect to the Company). Effective May 1, 2014, the FRB terminated the Supervisory Agreement to which the Company was subject.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Bank entered into a written Supervisory Agreement with the OTS, effective February 22, 2011, that primarily related to the Bank’s financial performance and credit quality issues. In addition, the OCC (as successor to the OTS with respect to the Bank) established an Individual Minimum Capital Requirement (IMCR) for the Bank, effective December 31, 2011. An IMCR requires a bank to establish and maintain levels of capital greater than those generally required for a bank to be classified as “well-capitalized.” Effective February 11, 2014, the OCC terminated the Supervisory Agreement and the IMCR to which the Bank was subject.

For further discussion and a complete description of the Supervisory Agreements, IMCR, and termination by the OCC of the Bank Supervisory Agreement and IMCR, see “Note 16 Regulatory Matters/Supervisory Agreements and IMCR” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 1 – Business – Regulation and Supervision” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those policies that the Company's management believes are the most important to understanding the Company’s financial condition and operating results. These critical accounting policies often involve estimates and assumptions that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies that management believes involve the most difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments that are inherently uncertain. Therefore, actual financial results could differ significantly depending upon the estimates, assumptions and other factors used.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Related Provision

The allowance for loan losses is based on periodic analysis of the loan portfolio and is maintained at an amount considered to be appropriate by management to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet dates. In this analysis, management considers factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences of loan impairment, actual and anticipated changes in the size of the portfolios, national and regional economic conditions (such as unemployment data, loan delinquencies, local economic conditions, demand for single-family homes, demand for commercial real estate and building lots, loan portfolio composition and historical loss experience) and observations made by the Company's ongoing internal audit and regulatory exam processes. Loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The Company has established separate processes to determine the appropriateness of the loan loss allowance for its homogeneous single-family and consumer loan portfolios and its non-homogeneous loan portfolios. The determination of the allowance on the homogeneous single-family and consumer loan portfolios is calculated on a pooled basis with individual determination of the allowance for all non-performing loans. The determination of the allowance for the non-homogeneous commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loan portfolios involves assigning standardized risk ratings and loss factors that are periodically reviewed. The loss factors are estimated based on the Company's own loss experience and are assigned to all loans without identified credit weaknesses. For each non-performing loan, the Company also performs an individual analysis of impairment that is based on the expected cash flows or the value of the assets collateralizing the loans and establishes any necessary reserves or charges off all loans or portions thereof that are deemed uncollectable.

The appropriateness 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 adjustments due to changing economic prospects of borrowers or properties. The fair market value of collateral dependent loans are typically based on the appraised value of the property less estimated selling costs. 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. Because of the size of some loans, changes in estimates can have a significant impact on the loan loss provision. The allowance is allocated to individual loan categories based upon the relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolios and the actual loss experience. The Company increases its allowance for loan losses by charging the provision for loan losses against income and decreases its allowance by crediting the provision for loan losses. A review of the allowance in 2013 and 2014 resulted in a reduction in the required allowance and a corresponding credit to the loan loss provision. 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 been specifically identified. Although management believes that based on current conditions the allowance for loan losses is maintained at an appropriate amount to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet dates, future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining the allowance for loan losses and adjustments may be required in the future.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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 basis. 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. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal and state income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

The Company maintains significant net deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, the largest of which relates to the allowance for loan and real estate losses and net operating loss carryforwards. For income tax purposes, only net charge-offs are deductible, not the entire provision for loan losses. Under generally accepted accounting principles, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon management’s judgment and evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including the forecasts of future income, tax planning strategies, and assessments of the current and future economic and business conditions. The Company considers both positive and negative evidence regarding the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets. Positive evidence includes the Company’s cumulative net income in the prior three year period, the ability to implement tax planning strategies to accelerate taxable income recognition, and the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods. Negative evidence includes the general business and economic environment. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset balance and the Company continued to maintain a valuation reserve against the entire deferred tax asset balance until December 31, 2013 when the entire valuation reserve was eliminated. The determination to eliminate the valuation reserve was based primarily upon the existence of a three-year cumulative net income and expectations of future taxable income. It is possible that future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in eliminating the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and adjustments may be required in the future.

Determining the ultimate settlement of any tax position requires significant estimates and judgments in arriving at the amount of tax benefits to be recognized in the financial statements. It is possible that the tax benefits realized upon the ultimate resolution of a tax position may result in tax benefits that are significantly different from those estimated.

Results of Operations

Comparison of 2014 with 2013

Net income was $7.4 million for 2014, a decrease of $19.3 million, from $26.7 million for 2013. Net income available to common shareholders was $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $18.9 million, from net income available to common shareholders of $24.6 million for 2013. Diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1.23, a decrease of $4.48 from $5.71 diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in net income in 2014 is due primarily to a $19.3 million increase in income tax expense between the periods as a result of eliminating the valuation reserve against the Company’s deferred tax asset in the fourth quarter of 2013 and recording regular income tax expense in 2014.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $19.4 million for 2014, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1.5%, from $19.7 million for 2013. Interest income was $20.6 million for 2014, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 10.3%, from $23.0 million for 2013. Interest income decreased between the periods primarily because of a change in the mix of average interest-earning assets held and also because of a decrease in the average yields earned between the periods. While the average interest-earning assets increased $13.1 million between the periods, the average interest-earning assets held in lower yielding cash and investments increased $52.3 million and the amount of average interest-earning assets held in higher yielding loans decreased $39.2 million between the periods. The decrease in the average outstanding loans between the periods was primarily the result of a decrease in the commercial loan portfolio, which occurred primarily because of loan prepayments and non-renewals as a result of the Company’s continued focus on improving credit quality, decreasing loan concentration, and managing net interest margin. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 3.59% for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of 50 basis points from 4.09% for the same period of 2013. The decrease in average yield is due to the change in the mix of assets held and the continued low interest rate environment that existed during 2014.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Interest expense was $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 63.2%, from $3.3 million for 2013. Interest expense decreased primarily because of the change in the mix of the average interest-bearing liabilities held between the periods and also because of a decrease in the average interest rate. While the average interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.4 million between the periods, the amount held in higher rate certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances decreased $70.2 million and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities held in other lower rate deposit accounts increased $74.6 million between the periods. The decrease in certificates of deposit between the periods was the result of using the proceeds from loan principal payments to fund maturing certificates of deposit. The decreased average rates paid were the result of the change in the mix of liabilities held and the low interest rate environment that continued to exist during 2014. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.23% for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of 41 basis points from the 0.64% average interest rate paid in 2013.

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 average outstanding loan balance in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Net interest margin decreased to 3.38% in 2014 from 3.51% in 2013 primarily because the yield on interest-earning assets decreased at a faster rate than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin was also negatively impacted by a change in the asset mix as a higher percentage of interest-earning assets were in lower yielding cash and investments in 2014 when compared to 2013. Average net earning assets increased $8.7 million to $55.6 million in 2014 compared to $46.9 million for 2013 primarily because the net income realized in 2014 was reinvested in interest-earning assets.

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It quantifies the changes in interest income and interest expense related to changes in the average outstanding balances (volume) and those changes caused by fluctuating 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).

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was ($7.0 million) for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease in the credit provision of $0.9 million, from ($7.9 million) for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in the size of the commercial loan portfolio, the continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio, and the recoveries received on previously charged off loans in 2014 and 2013 resulted in lower reserves being required in the allowance for loan losses. The reduction in the allowance for loan losses was the primary reason for the large credits in the provision for loan losses for 2014 and 2013. Future loan loss provisions are anticipated to return to more normalized levels due to the decrease in non-performing assets and the recoveries already received on previously charged off loans. Total non-performing assets were $14.0 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $10.4 million, or 42.5%, from $24.4 million at December 31, 2013. Non-performing loans decreased $6.6 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $3.8 million during 2014. The non-performing loan and foreclosed and repossessed asset activity for 2014 was as follows:

Non-performing loans:	December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2014			2013
Balance at beginning of year	$	17,496			29,975

Net gain on sale of assets		1,449			1,587
Write downs		(495	)		(1,020	)
Balance at end of year	$	3,103			6,898

The decrease in non-performing loans during 2014 relates primarily to principal payments received. Of the $7.2 million in principal payments received during the period, $2.5 million was received on a residential development loan as settlement of the outstanding debt, $1.7 million related to the payoff of non-performing single family construction loans as a result of the houses being sold, $1.2 million related to the payoff of two non-performing one-to-four family loans that were refinanced with other financial institutions, $0.6 million related to additional principal payments received from various developers as a result of land or lot sales, and $0.7 million related to the payoff of non-performing commercial and commercial real estate loans.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

A reconciliation of the allowance for loan losses for 2014 and 2013 is summarized as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)	2014			2013
Balance at January 1,	$	11,401		$	21,608
Provision		(6,998	)		(7,881	)
Charge offs:
Commercial		(55	)		(651	)
Commercial real estate		(936	)		(3,711	)
Consumer		(131	)		(484	)
Single family mortgage		(92	)		(200	)
Recoveries		5,143			2,720
Balance at December 31,	$	8,332		$	11,401

Specific allowance	$	1,074		$	3,778
General allowance		7,258			7,623
	$	8,332		$	11,401

The allowance for loan losses and charge offs decreased in 2014 when compared to 2013 because of two factors. The first factor was there were less required specific reserves because some non-performing loans were paid or charged off during 2014. The second factor was that the loan portfolio decreased $22 million between the periods which reduced the amount of the required allowance. These decreases in the allowance were partially offset by an increase in the required reserve percentages for certain risk rated loan categories as a result of the periodic internal analysis of recent loan charge-off history that was performed in 2014.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, the same as for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The following table presents the components of non-interest income:

	Year ended December 31,						Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(Dollars in thousands)	2014		2013		2012		2014/2013			2013/2012
Fees and service charges	$	3,458		3,513		3,325		(1.6	)%		5.7	%
Loan servicing fees		1,058		1,029		964		2.8			6.7
Gain on sales of loans		1,828		2,102		3,574		(13.0	)		(41.2	)
Gain on sale of branch office		0		0		552		0.0			(100.0	)
Other non-interest income		940		668		575		40.7			16.2
Total non-interest income	$	7,284		7,312		8,990		(0.4	)		(18.7	)

Gain on sales of loans decreased $0.3 million, or 13.0%, between 2014 and 2013 primarily because of a decrease in single family loan originations and sales. Fees and service charges decreased $0.1 million primarily because of a decrease in retail overdraft fees and other charges between 2014 and 2013. Other non-interest income increased $0.3 million between the periods due to increases in the sale of non-insured investment products and rental income. Loan servicing fees increased $29,000 as a result of servicing more commercial loans.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $21.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 5.4%, from $22.6 million for 2013. The following table presents the components of non-interest expense:

	Year ended December 31,								Percentage Increase (Decrease)
(Dollars in thousands)	2014			2013			2012		2014/2013			2013/2012
Compensation and benefits	$	13,332			12,680			12,452		5.1	%		1.8	%
(Gains) losses on real estate owned		(1,194	)		(830	)		181		(43.9	)		(558.6	)
Occupancy		3,691			3,338			3,358		10.6			(0.6	)
Deposit insurance		435			868			1,255		(49.9	)		(30.8	)
Data processing		1,011			1,289			1,434		(21.6	)		(10.1	)
Other		4,128			5,278			5,990		(21.8	)		(11.9	)
Total non-interest expense	$	21,403			22,623			24,670		(5.4	)		(8.3	)

Other non-interest expenses decreased $1.2 million between 2014 and 2013 primarily because of a decrease in legal and other costs associated with loans and real estate owned. Deposit insurance expense decreased $0.4 million because of a decrease in assets and insurance rates between the periods. Gains on real estate owned increased $0.4 million between the periods primarily because of the significant gain realized on a commercial real estate property that was sold in 2014. Data processing expense decreased $0.3 million due to a decrease in hardware and software depreciation expense in 2014. These decreases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in compensation expense in 2014 primarily because of an increase in salaries and pension benefit costs. Occupancy expense increased $0.4 million between 2014 and 2013 due to an increase in software amortization expense and the purchase of more non-capitalized items in 2014.

Income Taxes

The Company considers the calculation of current and deferred income taxes to be a critical accounting policy that is subject to significant estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Income tax expense was $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $19.3 million from the $14.4 million income tax benefit for the same period in 2013. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset valuation reserve against its entire deferred tax asset balance and the Company continued to maintain a valuation reserve against the entire deferred tax asset balance until the fourth quarter of 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the valuation reserve against the deferred tax asset was eliminated which resulted in a $14.4 million income tax benefit for 2013. Regular income tax expense was recorded in 2014.

Net Income Available to Common Shareholders

Net income available to common shareholders was $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $18.9 million from $24.6 million in net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2013. Basic earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1.40, a decrease of $4.75 from the basic earnings per common share of $6.15 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1.23, a decrease of $4.48 from diluted earnings per common share of $5.71 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The net income available to common shareholders and the basic and diluted earnings per common share decreased primarily because of the decrease in net income between the periods as a result of the elimination of the deferred tax asset valuation reserve in the fourth quarter of 2013. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per common share is related primarily to the dilutive effect of the outstanding warrant held by the U.S. Treasury to purchase 833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.68.

Date	Dividend (per share)		Redemption
May 15, 2014	$	201.71	10,000 shares of Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis at $1,000 per share
August 15, 2014	$	22.50	None
November 17, 2014	$	22.50	6,000 shares of Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis at $1,000 per share

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Following the redemption on November 17, 2014, 10,000 shares of Preferred Stock remained outstanding. The Company did not pay any dividends on the Preferred Stock or redeem any shares of Preferred Stock in 2013.

On February 17, 2015, the Company redeemed the remaining 10,000 shares of outstanding Preferred Stock. After giving effect to a dividend of $22.50 per share on the Preferred Stock that was paid on the same date, the redemption price per share was $1,000. The Preferred Stock redemption was funded with a $10 million term loan to HMN from an unrelated third party that was evidenced by a promissory note. The principal balance of the note bears interest at a rate of 6.5% and is payable in consecutive annual installments of $1 million on each December 15, beginning December 15, 2015, with the balance due on December 15, 2021. The Preferred Stock dividend was funded by HMN through internally available funds.

Under applicable federal banking laws and regulations, neither the Company nor the Bank may declare or pay any cash dividends, or purchase or redeem any capital stock, without prior notice to, and non-objection from its regulators.

Comparison of 2013 with 2012

Net income was $26.7 million for 2013, an improvement of $21.4 million, from $5.3 million for 2012. Net income available to common shareholders was $24.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an improvement of $21.1 million, from net income available to common shareholders of $3.5 million for 2012. Diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $5.71, an improvement of $4.85 from $0.86 diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2012. The improvement in net income in 2013 was due primarily to a $14.5 million increase in income tax benefit as a result of eliminating the valuation reserve against the Company’s deferred tax asset, a $10.4 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $1.0 million increase in the gains recognized on the sale of real estate owned, and a $0.7 million decrease in other non-interest expenses primarily related to legal and professional services. These improvements to net income were partially offset by a $4.0 million decrease in net interest income due primarily to a decrease in interest earning assets between the periods and a $1.5 million decrease in the gain on sale of loans due to a decrease in mortgage loan originations and sales.

Net interest income was $19.7 million for 2013, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 16.8%, from $23.7 million for 2012. Interest income was $23.0 million for 2013, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 25.4%, from $30.8 million for 2012. Interest income decreased between the periods primarily because of an $84 million decrease in the average interest-earning assets and also because of a decrease in the average yields between the periods. Average interest-earning assets decreased between the periods primarily because of a $69 million decrease in the commercial loan portfolio, which occurred because loan payoffs exceeded loan production as a result of the Company’s focus on improving credit quality, managing net interest margin, and improving capital ratios. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.09% for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of 69 basis points from the 4.78% average yield for 2012. The decrease in the average yield is due to the continued low interest rate environment that existed during 2013 and also because of the $15 million increase in the average assets that were held in lower earning cash and investments in 2013 when compared to 2012.

Interest expense was $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 53.9%, from $7.1 million for 2012. Interest expense decreased primarily because of a $96 million decrease in the average interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. The decrease in the average interest-bearing liabilities was primarily the result of a decrease in the average outstanding retail and brokered certificates of deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances between the periods. The decrease in certificates of deposits and advances between the periods was the result of using the proceeds from loan principal payments to fund the maturing certificates of deposits and advances. The $126 million decrease in the average balances of certificates of deposits and advances was partially offset by the $30 million increase in the average balance of retail and commercial checking and money market accounts between the periods. Interest expense also decreased because of the lower interest rates paid on deposits as a result of the low interest rate environment that continued to exist during 2013. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.64% for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of 53 basis points from the 1.17% average interest rate paid for 2012.

Net interest margin decreased to 3.51% in 2013 from 3.67% in 2012 primarily because the yield on interest-earning assets decreased at a faster rate than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin was also negatively impacted by a change in the asset mix as a higher percentage of interest-earning assets were in lower yielding cash and investments in 2013 when compared to 2012. Average net earning assets increased $11.9 million to $46.9 million in 2013 compared to $35.0 million for 2012 primarily because the income realized in 2013 was reinvested in interest-earning assets.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The provision for loan losses was ($7.9 million) for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $10.4 million, from $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The provision decreased between the periods primarily because of improving values of the underlying collateral supporting commercial real estate loans in 2013 when compared to 2012. The provision also decreased because of a reduction in the outstanding loan portfolio balances, a decrease in the reserve percentages on certain risk classifications as a result of an internal analysis of recent loan charge-off history, an improvement in the classifications of certain risk rated loans, and the recoveries received during 2013 on previously charged off loans. Total non-performing assets were $24.4 million at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $16.2 million, or 39.9%, from $40.6 million at December 31, 2012.

Loans classified as non-performing during 2013 decreased $12.5 million, from $30.0 million at December 31, 2012 to $17.5 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in loans classified as non-performing during 2013 reflects continued stabilization of the value of the real estate collateral securing the loan portfolio which resulted in fewer loans being classified as non-performing. Principal payments received on non-performing loans during the year decreased $2.8 million, from $13.8 million in 2012 to $11.0 million in 2013 which was primarily the result of having fewer non-performing loans in 2013 when compared to 2012. Foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $3.7 million during 2013 primarily because of the $5.8 million in real estate sales that occurred during the year.

The allowance for loan losses and charge offs decreased in 2013 when compared to 2012 because of three factors. The first factor was that there were fewer decreases in the value of the underlying collateral supporting commercial real estate loans that required additional allowances or charge offs in 2013 when compared to 2012. The second factor was that the loan portfolio decreased $80 million between the periods, which reduced the amount of the required allowance. The third factor was that required reserve percentages for certain risk rated loan categories decreased as a result of the periodic internal analysis of recent loan charge-off history that was performed in 2013.

Non-interest income was $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 18.7%, from $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Gain on sales of loans decreased $1.5 million, or 41.2%, between 2013 and 2012 primarily because of a decrease in single family loan originations and sales. Gain on sale of branch office was $0 for 2013, compared to $0.6 million in 2012 as a result of the sale of the Toledo, Iowa branch in the first quarter of 2012. Fees and service charges increased $0.2 million primarily because of an increase in overdraft charges related to a combination of an increase in the number of overdrafts and an increase in the amount charged per overdraft between 2013 and 2012. Other non-interest income increased $0.1 million due to an increase in the sale of non-insured investment products. Loan servicing fees increased $0.1 million as a result of servicing more single family loans.

Non-interest expense was $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 8.3%, from $24.7 million for the same period in 2012. Gains on real estate owned increased $1.0 million between 2013 and 2012 primarily because there were more gains realized on the sale of real estate and fewer write downs in the value of the real estate owned in 2013 when compared to 2012. Deposit insurance expense decreased $0.4 million because of a decrease in total assets and insurance rates between the periods. Data processing expense decreased $0.2 million due to a decrease in hardware and software depreciation expense. Other non-interest expenses decreased $0.7 million between 2013 and 2012 primarily because of a decrease in legal and other professional services. These decreases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in compensation expense between 2013 and 2012, primarily because of an increase in employee incentives and pension benefit costs.

The Company considers the calculation of current and deferred income taxes to be a critical accounting policy that is subject to significant estimates. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Income tax benefit was $14.4 million in 2013, an increase of $14.5 million from $0.1 million in income tax expense for 2012. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset valuation reserve against its entire deferred tax asset balance and the Company continued to maintain a valuation reserve against the entire deferred tax asset balance at December 31, 2012. Since the valuation reserve was established against the entire deferred tax asset balance, no regular income tax expense was recorded for 2012. The income tax expense that was recorded in 2012 related to alternative minimum tax amounts that were due since only a portion of the outstanding net operating loss carry forwards can be used to offset current income under the current alternative minimum tax rules. Due to the Company’s improved financial performance, the valuation reserve against the deferred tax asset was eliminated in the fourth quarter of 2013, which resulted in a $14.4 million income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2013.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Net income available to common shareholders was $24.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an improvement of $21.1 million, from net income available to common shareholders of $3.5 million for 2012. Net income available to common shareholders increased primarily because of the increase in net income between the periods.

On December 23, 2008, the Company sold 26,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A with a $1,000 liquidation preference (“Preferred Stock”) and a related warrant to the United States Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) for $26.0 million as part of the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program. The Company made all required dividend payments on the outstanding Preferred Stock in 2009 and 2010. Beginning with the February 15, 2011 dividend payment, the Company began to defer dividend payments on its Preferred Stock and as of December 31, 2013 had deferred the last thirteen quarterly dividend payments. Under the terms of the certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock, dividend payments could be deferred but the dividend was cumulative and compounded quarterly while unpaid. The deferred dividend payments were accrued for payment in the future and were being reported for the deferral period as a preferred dividend requirement that was deducted from net income for financial statement purposes to arrive at the net income available to common shareholders. In addition, since the Company failed to pay dividends for six quarters, the holders of Preferred Stock had the right to appoint two representatives to the Company’s board of directors. The Company, however, had been advised that the then-current holders of substantially all of the Preferred Stock had entered into agreements with the FRB pursuant to which they had each agreed not to take actions, without the consent of the FRB, which might be construed as exercising or attempting to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Company or the Bank, including exercise of any right to elect any representatives to the Company’s board of directors.

In 2014, the Company continued to focus on improving credit quality, decreasing loan concentrations, and managing net interest margin, which resulted in a decrease in outstanding loan balances. As a result of the Company’s improved credit quality, reduced loan concentrations, and enhanced lending staff, it is anticipated that loan production will improve and the size of our overall loan portfolio will increase in 2015.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Company’s commercial business and commercial real estate loan portfolios continue to be impacted by the diminished demand for real estate, particularly as it relates to single-family and commercial land developments. More stringent lending standards implemented by the mortgage industry in recent years have made it more difficult for some borrowers with marginal credit to qualify for a mortgage. This decrease in available credit and the overall weakness in the economy over the past several years has reduced the demand for single family homes and the values of existing properties and developments and is reflected in the $14.0 million of Company assets that were classified as non-performing at December 31, 2014. We continue to work to resolve the non-performing status of these assets in a cost effective manner. Because cash flow is dependent, in many cases, on the sale of the properties, it will take some time to liquidate some of the non-performing assets due to the limited demand for the properties.

One-to-four family real estate loans were $69.8 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $6.7 million, compared to $76.5 million at December 31, 2013. Mortgage loan originations declined in 2014 as a result of an increase in mortgage rates which decreased the refinance activity in 2014 when compared to 2013. A significant portion of the loans that were originated during the year were sold into the secondary market and were not placed in the loan portfolio in order to manage the Company’s interest rate risk position. The decrease in mortgage loans originated and their subsequent sale was the primary reason for the decrease in the one-to-four family loan portfolio during 2014.

Multi-family real estate loans were $15.7 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $7.6 million, compared to $8.1 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in multi-family real estate loans in 2014 is primarily the result of several new multi-family loans originated during the year.

Commercial real estate loans were $163.4 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $15.1 million, compared to $178.5 million at December 31, 2013. Commercial business loans were $57.1 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $14.6 million, compared to $71.7 million at December 31, 2013. Limited commercial loan demand and tighter underwriting and pricing guidelines resulted in an increase in loan payoffs and a decrease in the commercial business and commercial real estate loan balances in 2014.

Construction or development loans were $12.6 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $4.7 million, compared to $7.9 million at December 31, 2013. The increase resulted primarily from $12.0 million in new construction loans, $3.1 million in paid-off loans, and $4.2 million of projects that were completed and the related loans were moved to a permanent classification.

Home equity line loans were $36.8 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $0.6 million, compared to $36.2 million at December 31, 2013. The open-end home equity lines are generally written with an adjustable rate and a 10 year draw period which requires interest only payments followed by a 10 year repayment period which fully amortizes the outstanding balance. Closed-end home equity loans are written with fixed or adjustable rates with terms up to 15 years. Home equity loans were $12.4 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $0.8 million, compared to $11.6 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in the open-end equity lines and closed-end equity loans is related primarily to an increase in originations which exceeded loan payoffs.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The determination of the allowance for loan losses and the related provision is a critical accounting policy of the Company that is subject to significant estimates, as previously discussed. The current level of the allowance for loan losses is a result of management’s assessment of the risks within the portfolio based on the information obtained through the credit evaluation process. The Company utilizes a risk-rating system on non-homogenous commercial real estate and commercial business loans that includes regular credit reviews to identify and quantify the risk in the commercial portfolio. Management conducts quarterly reviews of the entire loan portfolio and evaluates the need to adjust the allowance balance on the basis of these reviews.

Management actively monitors asset quality and, when appropriate, charges off loans against the allowance for loan losses. 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 loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses was $8.3 million, or 2.23% of gross loans at December 31, 2014, compared to $11.4 million, or 2.88% of gross loans at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses decreased primarily because of a $2.7 million decrease in allocated reserves for impaired loans. The allowance for loan losses also decreased because of the $22.5 million decrease in the loan portfolio between the periods.

The allocated reserve percentages for commercial real estate, commercial business, one-to-four family, and consumer loan categories decreased in 2014 due primarily to the decrease in the allocated reserves for impaired loans. The allocation of the allowance for loan losses also decreased in 2014 because of the $22.5 million decrease in the loan portfolio between 2013 and 2014.

Allowance for Real Estate Losses

Real estate properties acquired or expected to be acquired through loan foreclosures are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs. Management periodically performs valuations and an allowance for losses is established if the carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value less estimated selling costs. The balance in the allowance for real estate losses was $1.7 million at December 31, 2014 and $2.4 million at December 31, 2013.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Non-performing Assets

Loans are reviewed at least quarterly and if the collectability of any loan is doubtful, it is placed on non-accrual status. Loans are placed on non-accrual 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 collectability of the loan. Restructured loans include the Bank's troubled debt restructurings that involved forgiving a portion of interest or principal or making a loan at a rate materially less than the market rate to borrowers whose financial condition had deteriorated. Foreclosed and repossessed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans. Total non-performing assets were $14.0 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $10.4 million from $24.4 million at December 31, 2013. Non-performing loans decreased $6.6 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $3.8 million during 2014. The decrease in non-performing loans is primarily due to principal payments received and loans being classified as accruing due to improved performance in 2014. The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets (non-accrual loans and foreclosed and repossessed assets) in the Company’s portfolio:

	December 31,

Gross interest income which would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $0.9 million for 2014, $1.8 million for 2013, and $2.4 million for 2012. The amounts that were included in interest income on a cash basis for these loans were $0.2 million, $0.1 million, and $0.5 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the number and property types of commercial real estate loans that were non-performing (the largest category of non-performing loans) at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Company had allocated reserves established against the above commercial real estate loans of $0.3 million, $2.2 million, and $2.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012.

For the loans that had been modified in 2014, $0.1 million were unclassified and performing and $0.1 million were non-performing at December 31, 2014. The decrease in troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) in 2014 relates primarily to two related commercial development loans totaling $3.5 million that were charged down to $2.5 million and paid off during the year. Troubled debt restructurings also decreased during the year by $1.4 million due to the paydown of six loans in an unrelated commercial development, as well as $1.0 million due to the payoff of a loan for another unrelated commercial development.

Of the loans that were modified in 2014 and outstanding at December 31, 2014, $0.2 million related to loans secured by first or second mortgages on one-to-four family property, and the remaining modifications related to other consumer loans.

For the loans that had been modified in 2013, $0.3 million were unclassified and performing and $0.8 million were non-performing at December 31, 2013. The decrease in TDRs in 2013 relates primarily to two commercial development loans for which $3.6 million in charge-offs were recorded during the year due to a decrease in the estimated value of the collateral supporting the loans. TDRs also decreased during the year by $4.0 million due to the paydown or payoff of four other unrelated commercial development loans, as well as $1.0 million due to the repossession and sale of collateral related to a consumer equity loan. The restructurings included reducing loan rates and restructuring repayment schedules to improve the borrower’s cash flow. Additional collateral was also obtained for some loans. Of the loans that were modified in 2013, $0.6 million related to loans secured by first or second mortgages on one-to-four family property, and the remaining modifications related to other consumer, commercial real estate or commercial business loans. Of the loans that were modified in 2012, $14.0 million related to commercial real estate loans and the remaining modifications related to single family, consumer and commercial loans.

The following table sets forth the amount of TDRs in the Company’s portfolio:

	December 31,
(Dollars in thousands)	2014		2013		2012		2011		2010
One-to-four family	$	368		840		3,540		3,752		2,569
Commercial real estate		7,956		14,781		24,702		19,524		14,791
Consumer		571		697		1,814		578		75
Commercial business		555		1,074		1,614		4,692		1,732
Total TDRs		9,450		17,392		31,670		28,546		19,167

TDRs on accrual status		7,414		3,780		7,125		10,802		10,886
TDRs on non-accrual status		2,036		13,612		24,545		17,744		8,281
Total	$	9,450		17,392		31,670		28,546		19,167

In addition to the troubled debt restructurings and the non-performing loans set forth in the table above of all non-performing assets, as of December 31, 2014, there were three other potential problem loan relationships. Potential problem loans are loans that are not in non-performing status, however, there are circumstances present to create doubt as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present repayment terms. The decision of management to include performing loans in potential problem loans does not necessarily mean that the Company expects losses to occur but that management recognized a higher degree of risk associated with these loans. The level of potential problem loans is another predominant factor in determining the relative level of the allowance for loan losses. The three loan relationships that have been reported as potential problem loans at December 31, 2014 are a $3.8 million loan to an educational institution, a $0.6 million loan to a small manufacturing business, and three loans totaling $0.3 million to a golf course. The five loan relationships reported as potential problem loans at December 31, 2013 were a $0.7 million loan secured by an auto salvage business, and four other loans to unrelated borrowers totaling $0.9 million that are secured by restaurant business assets. The two loan relationships reported as potential problem loans at December 31, 2012 were a $1.4 million loan for a retail commercial development and a $0.2 million loan for a manufacturing business.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company attempts to manage its liquidity position so that the funding needs of borrowers and depositors are met timely and in a cost effective manner. Asset liquidity is the ability to convert assets to cash through the maturity or sale of the asset. Liability liquidity is the ability of the Bank to attract retail, internet, or brokered deposits or to borrow funds from third parties such as the FHLB or the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

The primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. Principal and interest payments on loans and securities along with the proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale are the primary sources of cash for the Company. Additional cash can be obtained by selling securities from the available for sale portfolio or by selling loans or mortgage servicing rights. Unpledged securities could also be pledged and used as collateral for additional borrowings with the FHLB or Federal Reserve Bank to generate additional cash.

The primary financing activity is the attraction of retail and internet deposits. The Bank has the ability to borrow additional funds from the FHLB or Federal Reserve Bank by pledging additional securities or loans, subject to applicable borrowing base and collateral requirements. See “Note 11 Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (FHLB) and Other Borrowings” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on additional advances that could be drawn based upon existing collateral levels with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank.

The Company'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, 2014 were $46.6 million, a decrease of $74.1 million, compared to $120.7 million at December 31, 2013. Net cash provided by operating activities during 2014 was $17.3 million. The Company conducted the following major investing activities during 2014: principal payments and maturity proceeds received on securities available for sale and FHLB stock were $127.1 million, purchases of securities available for sale and FHLB stock were $157.0 million, proceeds from the sale of premises and other real estate were $4.8 million, and loans receivable decreased $13.5 million. The Company disbursed $0.8 million for the purchase of equipment and updating its premises. Net cash used by investing activities during 2014 was $12.4 million. The Company conducted the following major financing activities during 2014: customer escrows increased $0.2 million, redemptions of preferred stock were $16.0 million, dividends paid to preferred stockholders totaled $6.0 million, and deposits decreased $57.2 million. Net cash used by financing activities was $79.0 million.

The Company has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $59.7 million that mature during 2015, none of which were obtained from brokers. Based upon past experience, management anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for another term. The Company believes that deposits that do not renew will be replaced with a combination of other customers’ deposits and FHLB advances. Proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to fund unanticipated outflows of deposits.

The Company has deposits of $63.6 million in checking and money market accounts of customers that have relationship balances greater than $5.0 million. These funds may be withdrawn at any time, however, management anticipates that the majority of these deposits will remain on deposit with the Bank over the next twelve months. If these deposits are withdrawn, it is anticipated that they would be funded with available cash or replaced with deposits from other customers or FHLB advances. Proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to fund unanticipated outflows of deposits.

Dividends from the Bank have been the Company’s primary source of cash. The Bank is restricted under applicable federal banking law from paying dividends to the Company without prior notice to and non-objection of the applicable regulator. During 2014, the Bank paid dividends to the Company of $22.5 million which were used to redeem $16.0 million in outstanding Preferred Stock, pay $6.0 million in dividends on the Preferred Stock, and to fund the ongoing operating expenses of the Company. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $1.5 million in cash and other assets that could readily be turned into cash.

The Company’s primary use of cash is the payment of dividends on the Preferred Stock, the payment of principal and interest on the third party note payable, and holding company level expenses, including the payment of director and management fees as well as legal expenses and other regulatory costs. The Company does not anticipate that it will have on a stand-alone basis adequate liquid resources to make future interest and principal payments on its third party note payable and fund the Company-level expenses. The Company plans to continue to fund its liquidity needs through dividends from the Bank or external capital. Provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may also, at its option, elect to defer payment of one installment of principal of the third party note payable otherwise due prior to the maturity date, in which event such installment will become due and payable on the maturity date.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

On February 17, 2015, the Company redeemed the remaining 10,000 shares of outstanding Preferred Stock. After giving effect to a dividend of $22.50 per share on the Preferred Stock that was paid on the same date, the redemption price per share was $1,000. The Preferred Stock redemption was funded through a $10.0 million term loan to HMN from an unrelated third party that was evidenced by a promissory note. The principal balance of the note bears interest at a rate of 6.5% and is payable in consecutive annual installments of $1.0 million on each December 15, beginning December 15, 2015, with the balance due on December 15, 2021. The Preferred Stock dividend was funded by HMN through internally available funds.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Company has certain obligations and commitments to make future payments under existing contracts. At December 31, 2014, the aggregate contractual obligations (excluding bank deposits) and commercial commitments were as follows:

	Payments Due by Period
(Dollars in thousands)	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		After 5 Years

Regulatory Capital Requirements

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". For the year ended December 31, 2014, a savings institution was 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 ratio of 5% or greater, and (iv) is not subject to any order or written directive by the OCC to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. On and after January 1, 2015, 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 8% or greater, (iii) has a Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.5% or greater, (iv) has a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and (v) is not subject to any order or written directive by the OCC to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. Management believes that, as of December 31, 2014, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those quantitative capital ratio standards set forth under the prompt corrective action regulations in effect on that date. However, there can be no assurance that the Bank will continue to maintain such status in the future under the heightened standards that went into effect on January 1, 2015. The OCC has extensive discretion in its supervisory and enforcement activities, and can further adjust the requirement to be “well-capitalized” in the future. Refer to Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a table which reflects the Bank’s capital compared to these capital requirements.

As required by the Company Supervisory Agreement that was in effect at December 31, 2013, the Company submitted an updated two-year capital plan in January 2014. The Company was required to operate within the parameters of the capital plan and was required to monitor and submit periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. Effective May 1, 2014, the FRB terminated the Supervisory Agreement to which the Company was subject. In addition, the OCC had established an individual minimum capital requirement (IMCR) for the Bank that was also in effect at December 31, 2013. An IMCR requires a bank to establish and maintain levels of capital greater than those generally required for a bank to be classified as “well-capitalized.” Effective December 31, 2011, the Bank was required to establish, and subsequently maintain, core capital at least equal to 8.50% of adjusted total assets. The Bank’s core capital to adjusted total assets ratio was 12.22% at December 31, 2013. The OCC terminated its Supervisory Agreement and the IMCR effective February 11, 2014.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Company also serves as a source of capital, liquidity and financial support to the Bank. Depending upon the operating performance of the Bank and the Company’s other liquidity and capital needs, including potentially Company-level expenses and the payment of principal and interest payments on the third party note payable, the Company may find it prudent, subject to prevailing capital market conditions and other factors, to raise additional capital through issuance of its common stock or other equity securities. In addition, regulators have placed increasing emphasis on the amount of common equity as a component of core bank capital, and revised capital regulations (described below) incorporating specific levels of common equity capital both at the Bank and the Company. Additional capital would also potentially permit the Company to implement a strategy of growing Bank assets. Depending on the circumstances, if it were to raise capital, the Company may deploy it to the Bank for general banking purposes, or may retain some or all of it for use by the Company.

If the Company raises capital through the issuance of additional shares of common stock or other equity securities, it would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders and, if issued at less than the Company’s book value would dilute the per share book value of the Company’s common stock, dilute the Company’s earnings per share, and could result in a change of control of the Company and the Bank. New investors may also have rights, preferences and privileges senior to the Company’s current stockholders, which may adversely impact the Company’s current stockholders. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, if deemed prudent, will depend on, among other factors, conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of its control, and on the Company’s financial performance and plans. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to raise additional capital, if deemed prudent, on favorable economic terms, or other terms acceptable to it. If the Company or the Bank cannot satisfactorily address their respective capital needs as they arise, the Company’s ability to maintain or expand its operations, maintain compliance with the regulatory capital requirements, to operate without additional regulatory or other restrictions, and its operating results, could be materially adversely affected.

The capital requirements of the Company and the Bank will be affected by regulatory capital changes issued in July 2013 by the FRB, the FDIC and the OCC. The changes establish an integrated regulatory capital framework for implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s Basel III regulatory capital reforms and implement the changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The new capital requirements are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015, and among other things, apply a strengthened set of capital requirements to both the Bank and the Company and revise the rules for calculating risk-weighted assets for purposes of such requirements. Management believes that the Company and the Bank were “well capitalized” under these new capital standards when they were implemented on January 1, 2015. See “Item 1 – Business – Regulation and Supervision” in our Form 10-K and Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 for additional information on the new regulatory capital rules.

Dividends

The declaration of dividends is subject to, among other things, the Company's financial condition and results of operations, the Bank's compliance with regulatory capital requirements and other regulatory restrictions, tax considerations, industry standards, economic conditions, general business practices and other factors. The Company suspended dividend payments to common stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the net operating losses experienced and the challenging economic environment. The Company began deferring dividend payments to its preferred stockholders in the first quarter of 2011 due to the net operating losses experienced and regulatory restrictions on their payment. While Preferred Stock dividends were in arrears, no dividend could be paid on the common stock of the Company. The deferred dividends were subsequently paid and all of the outstanding Preferred Stock had been redeemed as of February 17, 2015.

Under applicable federal banking laws and regulations, no dividends can be declared or paid by the Bank to the Company without notice to and non-objection from the applicable banking regulator. There is no assurance that the Bank and the Company would satisfy the applicable regulatory requirements necessary to effect any such dividends. The payment of dividends by the Company is dependent upon the Company having adequate cash or other assets that can be converted to cash to pay dividends to its stockholders. Further, any determination as to whether, when and in what amount to declare and pay any such dividends would be subject to the discretion of the boards of directors of the Bank and the Company and would depend on numerous factors including the results of operations, financial conditions and cash flow requirements of the Company and the Bank.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company'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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments in this ASU clarify when a repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Under the amendment, physical possession occurs, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2015 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments in this ASU require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure of a government-guaranteed loan if certain conditions are met. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2015 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide certain related footnote disclosures. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures and is effective for all entities for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2016 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company'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.

The Company's profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact the Company'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. The Company 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 in the following Asset/Liability Management section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis discloses the Company's projected changes in net interest income based upon immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks.

The Company utilizes a model that 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 under different interest rate changes.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following table discloses the projected changes in market value to the Company’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, 2014.

	Market Value
(Dollars in thousands) Basis point change in interest rates		-100		0		+100		+200
Total market-risk sensitive assets	$	570,149		564,339		555,005		542,961
Total market-risk sensitive liabilities		488,174		458,245		439,479		422,117
Off-balance sheet financial instruments		(204	)	0		44		104
Net market risk	$	82,179		106,094		115,482		120,740
Percentage change from current market value		(22.54	)%	0.00	%	8.85	%	13.80	%

The preceding table was prepared utilizing the following assumptions (the Model Assumptions) regarding prepayment and decay ratios that 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 4% and 61%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 18% and 138%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities were projected to haveprepayments 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 annual rates of 6% and 8%, respectively. Non-interest checking and NOW accounts were both assumed to decay at an annual rate of 3%. Commercial non-interest checking and NOW accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 9%. Commercial MMDA accounts were assumed to decay at annual rates of 12%.

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 that 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 that are approaching their lifetime interest rate caps or floors could be different from the values calculated in the table. Certain liabilities, such as certificates of deposit, have fixed rates that restrict interest rate changes until maturity. 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 also decrease in the event of a substantial sustained increase in interest rates.

Asset/Liability Management

The Company's management reviews the impact that changing interest rates will have on the net interest income projected for the twelve months following December 31, 2014 to determine if its current level of interest rate risk is acceptable. The following table projects the estimated impact on net interest income during the 12 month period ending December 31, 2015 of immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks:

(Dollars in thousands)
Rate Shock in Basis Points		Net Interest Change			Percent Change
	+200	$	2,287			12.62	%
	+100		1,306			7.20
	0		0			0.00
	-100		(1,978	)		(10.92	)

The preceding table was prepared utilizing the Model Assumptions. 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. The increase in interest income in a rising rate environment is because there are more adjustable rate loans that would re-price to higher interest rates in the next twelve months than there are deposits that would re-price.

In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management closely monitors interest rate risk. The Company has an Asset/Liability Committee that meets frequently to discuss changes in the interest rate risk position and projected profitability. The Committee makes adjustments to the asset-liability position of the Bank that are reviewed by 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 as intended to assure attainment of the Bank's objectives in an 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 may, at times, depending on the relationship between long and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, 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, in certain situations, provide high enough returns to justify the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected changes in interest rates.

To the extent consistent with its interest rate spread objectives, the Bank attempts to manage its interest rate risk and has taken a number of steps to restructure its balance sheet in order to better match the maturities of its assets and liabilities. In the past, more long term fixed rate loans were placed into the single family loan portfolio. In recent years, the Bank has continued to focus its 30 year fixed rate one-to-four family residential lending program on loans that are saleable to third parties and generally places only shorter term fixed rate loans that meet certain risk characteristics into its loan portfolio. A significant portion of the Bank’s commercial loan production continues to be in adjustable rate loans that re-price every one, two, or three years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than commitments to originate and sell loans in the ordinary course of business which are more fully discussed in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its off-balance sheet obligations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012

NOTE 1 Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) is a stock savings bank holding company that owns 100 percent of Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank). The Bank has a community banking philosophy and operates retail banking and loan production facilities in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. The Bank has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc. (OIA), which offers financial planning products and services, and HFSB Property Holdings, LLC (HPH), which acts as an intermediary for the Bank in holding and operating certain foreclosed properties.

The consolidated financial statements included herein are for HMN, the Bank, OIA, and HPH. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of our annual 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2015. See Note 11 Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (FHLB) and Other Borrowings for discussion of the advance on the note payable and redemption of remaining Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (“Preferred Stock”) on February 17, 2015.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the consolidated 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.

An estimate that is particularly susceptible to change relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is appropriate to cover probable losses inherent in the portfolio at the date of the balance sheet. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require changes to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Securities

Securities are accounted for according to their purpose and holding period. The Company classifies its debt and equity securities in one of three categories:

Trading Securities

Securities held principally for resale in the near term are classified as trading securities and are recorded at their fair values. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in other income.

Securities Held to Maturity

Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost and adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Unrealized losses on securities held to maturity reflecting a decline in value judged to be other than temporary are charged to income and a new cost basis is established.

Securities Available for Sale

Securities available for sale consist of securities not classified as trading securities or as securities held to maturity. They 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 rates, changes in prepayment risk, or similar factors. Unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are determined using the specific identification method and recognized on the trade date. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. Unrealized losses on securities available for sale reflecting a decline in value judged to be other than temporary are charged to income and a new cost basis is established.

Management monitors the investment security portfolio for impairment on an individual security basis and has a process in place to identify securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other than temporary. This process involves analyzing the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, the market liquidity for the security, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, expected cash flows, and the Company's intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the temporary loss, including determining whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery. To the extent it is determined that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, an impairment loss is recognized.

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 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 on the sale of loans are recognized on the settlement date. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loans Receivable, net

Loans receivable, net, 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 purchased 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 based on a periodic analysis of the loan portfolio and is maintained at an amount considered to be appropriate by management to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet dates. In this analysis, management considers factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences of loan impairment, actual and anticipated changes in the size of the portfolios, national and regional economic conditions (such as unemployment data, loan delinquencies, local economic conditions, demand for single-family homes, demand for commercial real estate and building lots, loan portfolio composition and historical loss experience) and observations made by the Company's ongoing internal audit and regulatory exam processes. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties or other collateral securing classified loans. Appraisals on collateral dependent commercial real estate and commercial business loans are obtained when it is determined that the borrower’s risk profile has deteriorated and the loan is classified as impaired. Subsequent new third party appraisals of properties securing impaired commercial real estate and commercial business loans are prepared at least every two years. For all land development loan types, a new third party appraisal is prepared on an annual basis where current activity is not consistent with the assumptions made in the most recent third party appraisal. Non-performing residential and consumer home equity loans and home equity lines may have a third party appraisal or an internal evaluation completed depending on the size of the loan and location of the property. These appraisals, or internal valuations, are generally completed when a residential or consumer home equity loan or home equity line of credit becomes 120 days past due and are typically updated after possession of the property is obtained. Valuations are reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjustments are made to the allowance for loan losses for temporary impairments and charge-offs are taken when the impairment is determined to be permanent. The fair market value of the properties for all loan types are adjusted for estimated selling costs in order to determine the net realizable value of the properties. The allowance for loan losses is established for known problem loans, as well as for loans which are not currently known to require an allowance. Loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The appropriateness 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 adjustments due to changing economic prospects of borrowers or properties. The fair market value of collateral dependent loans are typically based on the appraised value of the property less estimated selling costs. 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. The allowance is allocated to individual loan categories based upon the relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolios and the actual loss experience. The Company increases its allowance for loan losses by charging the provision for loan losses against income and decreases its allowance by crediting the provision for loan losses. 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 been specifically identified.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis except when collectability is in doubt. When loans are placed on a non-accrual basis, generally when the loan is 90 days past due, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed from income. If the ultimate collectability of a loan is in doubt and the loan is placed in nonaccrual status, the cost recovery method is used and cash collected is applied to first reduce the principal outstanding. Generally, the Company returns a loan to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal becomes current under the terms of the loan agreement and collectability of remaining principal and interest is no longer doubtful.

All impaired loans are valued 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 value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impaired amount is charged off. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include all loans which are on non-accrual, delinquent as to principal and interest for 90 days or greater, or restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms. All non-accruing loans are reviewed for impairment on an individual basis.

Included in loans receivable, net, are certain loans that have been modified in order to maximize collection of the loan balances. The Company evaluates all loan modifications and if the Company, for legal or economic reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession compared to the original terms and conditions of the loan that the Company would not otherwise consider, the modified loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) and is classified as an impaired loan. If the TDR loan was performing (accruing) prior to the modification, it typically will remain accruing after the modification as long as it continues to perform according to the modified terms. If the TDR loan was non-performing (non-accruing) prior to the modification, it will remain non-accruing after the modification for a minimum of six months. If the loan performs according to the modified terms for a minimum of six months, it typically will be returned to accruing status. In general, there are two conditions in which a TDR loan is no longer considered to be a TDR and potentially not classified as impaired. The first condition is whether the loan is refinanced with terms that reflect normal market terms for the type of credit involved. The second condition is whether the loan is repaid or charged off.

Transfers of Financial Assets and Participating Interests

Transfers of an entire financial asset or a participating interest in an entire financial asset are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

The transfer of a participating interest in an entire financial asset must also meet the definition of a participating interest. A participating interest in a financial asset has all of the following characteristics: (1) from the date of transfer, it must represent a proportionate (pro rata) ownership interest in the financial asset, (2) from the date of transfer, all cash flows received, except any cash flows allocated as any compensation for servicing or other services performed, must be divided proportionately among participating interest holders in the amount equal to their share ownership, (3) the rights of each participating interest holder must have the same priority, (4) no party has the right to pledge or exchange the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree to do so.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized at fair value and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. The Company evaluates its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment each quarter. Loan type and note rate are the predominant 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 acquired through loan foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, is initially recorded at the fair value less estimated selling costs. Third party appraisals are obtained as soon as practical after obtaining possession of property. Valuations are reviewed quarterly 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 5 to 40 years for office buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of

The Company 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.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company recognizes the grant-date fair value of stock option and restricted stock awards issued as compensation expense, amortized over the vesting period.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

The Company has an ESOP that borrowed funds from the Company and purchased shares of HMN common stock. The Company makes quarterly principal and interest payments on the ESOP loan. As the debt is repaid, ESOP shares that were pledged as collateral for the debt are released from collateral and allocated to eligible employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with ASC 718, 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, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. 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. A valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax asset is subjective and dependent upon judgment concerning management’s evaluation of both positive and negative evidence regarding the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets.

Preferred Stock Dividends and Discount

The proceeds received from the Company’s Preferred Stock, and related warrant to purchase 833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the U.S. Treasury were allocated between the Preferred Stock and the warrant based on their relative fair values at the time of issuance in accordance with the requirements of ASC 470, Accounting for Convertible Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Because of the increasing rate dividend feature of the shares of Preferred Stock, the discount on the warrant was amortized using the constant effective yield method over the five year period preceding the scheduled rate increase on the Preferred Stock in accordance with the requirements of ASC 505.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share 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 shared in the earnings of the entity.

Comprehensive Income

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 (loss), which for the Company is comprised of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale.

Segment Information

The amount of each segment item reported is 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 are included in determining reported segment profit or loss 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 are used by the chief operating decision maker are reported for that segment.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in order to manage the interest rate risk on residential loans held for sale and its commitments to extend credit for residential loans. The Company may also from time to time use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. Derivative financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and forward mortgage loan sales commitments.

Reclassifications

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

We review our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the market liquidity for the investment, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the temporary loss. The unrealized losses on U. S. Government agency obligations are the result of changes in interest rates. The unrealized losses reported for corporate preferred stock at December 31, 2014 relates to a single trust preferred security that was issued by the holding company of a small community bank. Typical of most trust preferred issuances, the issuer has the ability to defer interest payments for up to five years with interest payable on the deferred balance. In September 2014, the issuer paid all deferred interest that was due and all payments were current as of September 30, 2014. In January 2015, the issuer deferred its scheduled interest payment as allowed by the terms of the security agreement. The issuer’s subsidiary bank has incurred operating losses over the past several years due to increased provisions for loan losses but still met the regulatory requirements to be considered “well capitalized” based on its most recent regulatory filing in 2014. Based on a review of the issuer, it was determined that the trust preferred security was not other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2014. The Company does not intend to sell the preferred stock and has the intent and ability to hold it for a period of time sufficient to recover the temporary loss. Management believes that the Company will receive all principal and interest payments contractually due on the security and that the decrease in the market value is primarily due to a lack of liquidity in the market for trust preferred securities. Management will continue to monitor the credit risk of the issuer and may be required to recognize other-than-temporary impairment charges on this security in future periods.

Included in total commitments to originate or purchase loans are fixed rate loans aggregating $21.2 million and $26.3 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The interest rates on these loan commitments ranged from 3.00% to 6.00% at December 31, 2014 and from 3.38% to 5.79% at December 31, 2013.

The aggregate amounts of loans to executive officers and directors of the Company was $2.8 million, $3.1 million and $3.1 million at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During 2014, repayments on loans to executive officers and directors were $128,000, new loans to executive officers and directors totaled $224,000, sales of executive officer and director loans were $224,000, loans reclassified due to change in officers were $139,000, and no loans were closed or paid off.

Classified loans represent special mention, performing substandard, and non-performing loans categorized as substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans classified as special mention are loans that have potential weaknesses that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Loans classified as substandard are loans that are generally inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have the weaknesses of those classified as substandard, with additional characteristics that make collection in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. A loan classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset on the balance sheet is not warranted. Loans classified as substandard or doubtful require the Bank to perform an analysis of the individual loan and charge off any loans, or portion thereof, that are deemed uncollectible.

At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, non-accruing loans totaled $10.9 million, $17.5 million and $30.0 million, respectively, for which the related allowance for loan losses was $0.8 million, $3.4 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Non-accruing loans for which no specific allowance has been recorded because management determined that the value of the collateral was sufficient to repay the loan totaled $8.0 million, $7.8 million and $10.3 million, respectively. Had the loans performed in accordance with their original terms, the Company would have recorded gross interest income on the loans of $0.9 million, $1.8 million and $2.4 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized interest income on these loans of $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. All of the interest income that was recognized for non-accruing loans was recognized using the cash basis method of income recognition. Non-accrual loans also include some of the loans that have had terms modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

The following table summarizes non-accrual loans at December 31:

Included in loans receivable, net, are certain loans that have been modified in order to maximize collection of loan balances. If the Company, for legal or economic reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession compared to the original terms and conditions of the loan, the modified loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR).

At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, there were loans included in loans receivable, net, with terms that had been modified in a troubled debt restructuring totaling $9.4 million, $17.4 million and $31.7 million, respectively. Had these loans been performing in accordance with their original terms throughout 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company would have recorded gross interest income of $0.9 million, $1.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively. During 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded interest income of $0.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.9 million on these loans, respectively. For the loans that were modified in 2014, $0.1 million are classified and performing, and $0.1 million are non-performing at December 31, 2014.

There were no material commitments to lend additional funds to customers whose loans were restructured or classified as non-accrual at December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

TDR concessions can include reduction of interest rates, extension of maturity dates, forgiveness of principal and/or interest due, or acceptance of real estate or other assets in full or partial satisfaction of the debt. Loan modifications are not reported as TDRs after 12 months if the loan was modified at a market rate of interest for comparable risk loans, and the loan is performing in accordance with the terms of the restructured agreement. All loans classified as TDRs are considered to be impaired.

When a loan is modified as a TDR, there may be a direct, material impact on the loans within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as principal balances may be partially forgiven. The financial effects of TDRs are presented in the following table and represent the difference between the outstanding recorded balance pre-modification and post-modification, for the periods ending December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted:
1-4 family		1	$	640		0	$	0
Total		1	$	640		0	$	0

The Company considers a loan to have defaulted when it becomes 90 or more days past due under the modified terms, when it is placed in non-accrual status, when it becomes other real estate owned, or when it becomes non-compliant with some other material requirement of the modification agreement.

Loans that were non-accrual prior to modification remain non-accrual for at least six months following modification. Non-accrual TDR loans that have performed according to the modified terms for six months may be returned to accruing status. Loans that were accruing prior to modification remain on accrual status after the modification as long as the loan continues to perform under the new terms.

TDRs are reviewed for impairment following the same methodology as other impaired loans. For loans that are collateral dependent, the value of the collateral is reviewed and additional reserves may be added to general reserves as needed. Loans that are not collateral dependent may have additional reserves established if deemed necessary. The allocated allowance for TDRs was $0.4 million, or 5.1%, of the total $8.3 million in allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2014, and $2.9 million, or 25.6%, of the total $11.4 million in allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2013.

NOTE 11 Federal Home Loan Bank Advances (FHLB) and Other Borrowings

The Bank had no outstanding advances from the FHLB or borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank as of December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014 it had collateral pledged to the FHLB consisting of FHLB stock, mortgage loans, and investments with unamortized principal balances of approximately $99.1 million. The Bank has the ability to draw additional borrowings of $98.1 million from the FHLB, based upon the mortgage loans and securities that are currently pledged, subject to approval from the FHLB and a requirement to purchase additional FHLB stock. The Bank also has the ability to draw additional borrowings of $58.7 million from the Federal Reserve Bank, based upon the loans that are currently pledged to them, subject to approval from the FRB.

On December 15, 2014, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with an unrelated third party, providing for a term loan of up to $10 million that will be evidenced by a promissory note (“the Note”) with an interest rate of 6.5% per annum. The principal balance of the loan is payable in consecutive equal annual installments of $1 million on each anniversary of the date of the Loan Agreement, commencing on December 15, 2015, with the balance due on the maturity date. The maturity date will be on the earlier of (a) the anniversary of the date of the Loan Agreement obtained by dividing the original principal amount of the loan by $1 million (rounded up to the nearest number of whole years) and (b) the seventh anniversary of the date of the Loan Agreement. Provided that no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may, at its option, elect to defer payment of one installment of principal of the Note otherwise due prior to the maturity date, in which event such installment will become due and payable on the maturity date. The Company may voluntarily prepay the Note in whole or in part without payment or penalty. The Company had no outstanding advances on the Note at December 31, 2014. On February 17, 2015, the Company advanced $10 million on the Note and used the proceeds to redeem the remaining $10 million in outstanding Preferred Stock.

Total gross deferred tax liabilities		1,255		1,272
Net deferred tax assets	$	10,530		15,111

The Company has cumulative federal net operating loss carryforwards of $7.3 million at December 31, 2014 that expire beginning in 2029. The Company also has state net operating loss carryforwards of $25.4 million at December 31, 2014 that expire beginning in 2023.

Retained earnings at December 31, 2014 included approximately $8.8 million 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.

The Company considers the determination of the deferred tax asset amount and the need for any valuation reserve to be a critical accounting policy that requires significant judgment. The Company has, in its judgment, made reasonable assumptions and considered both positive and negative evidence relating to the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets. Positive evidence includes the cumulative net income generated over the prior three year period and the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods. Negative evidence includes the general business and economic environment. Based upon this evaluation, the Company determined that no valuation allowance was required with respect to the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 13 Employee Benefits

All eligible full-time employees of the Bank that were hired prior to 2002 were included in a noncontributory retirement plan sponsored by the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund (FIRF). The Home Federal Savings Bank (Employer #8006) plan participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (the Pentegra DB Plan). The Pentegra DB Plan’s Employer Identification Number is 13-5645888 and the Plan number is 333. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and as a multi-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan.

The Pentegra DB Plan is a single plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 413(c) and, as a result, all of the assets stand behind all of the liabilities. Accordingly, under the Pentegra DB Plan, contributions made by the participating employer may be used to provide benefits to participants of other participating employers.

Effective September 1, 2002, the accrual of benefits for existing participants was frozen and no new enrollments were permitted into the plan. The actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits and net assets available for benefits relating to the Bank's employees was not available at December 31, 2014 because such information is not accumulated for each participating institution. As of June 30, 2014, the Pentegra DB Plan valuation report reflected that the Bank was obligated to make a contribution totaling $0.2 million which was expensed during 2014.

Funded status (market value of plan assets divided by funding target) as of July 1 for the 2014, 2013 and 2012 plan years were 97.98%, 89.51% and 95.77%, respectively. Market value of plan assets reflects any contribution received through June 30, 2014.

Total employer contributions made to the Pentegra DB Plan, as reported on Form 5500, equal $136.5 million, $196.5 million and $299.7 million for the plan years ended June 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Bank’s contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan are not more than 5% of the total contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. There is no funding improvement plan or rehabilitation plan as part of this multi-employer plan.

The following contributions were paid by the Bank during the fiscal years ending December 31,

(Dollars in thousands)

Total	$	210		$	257		$	406

**An additional contribution of $234,000 was accrued at December 31, 2011 and paid in the first quarter of 2012.

The Company has a qualified, tax-exempt savings plan with a deferred feature qualifying under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the 401(k) Plan). All employees who have attained 18 years of age are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. Participants are permitted to make contributions to the 401(k) Plan equal to the lesser of 50% of the participant’s annual salary or the maximum allowed by law, which was $17,500 for 2014 and 2013, and $17,000 for 2012. The Company matches 25% of each participant’s contributions up to a maximum of 8% of the participant’s annual salary. Participant contributions and earnings are fully and immediately vested. The Company’s contributions are vested on a three year cliff basis, are expensed annually, and were $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company has adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the ESOP) that meets the requirements of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 407(d)(6) of ERISA and, as such, the ESOP is empowered to borrow in order to finance purchases of the common stock of HMN. The ESOP borrowed $6.1 million from the Company to purchase 912,866 shares of common stock in the initial public offering of HMN in 1994. As a result of a merger with Marshalltown Financial Corporation (MFC), the ESOP borrowed $1.5 million in 1998 to purchase an additional 76,933 shares of HMN common stock to account for the additional employees and avoid dilution of the benefit provided by the ESOP. The ESOP debt requires quarterly payments of principal plus interest at 7.52%. The Company has committed to make quarterly contributions to the ESOP necessary to repay the loans including interest. The Company contributed $0.5 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012.

As the debt is repaid, ESOP shares that were pledged as collateral for the debt are released from collateral and allocated to eligible employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with ASU 718, 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, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. ESOP compensation expense was $0.3 million, $0.2 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, for 2014, 2013 and 2012.

All employees of the Bank are eligible to participate in the ESOP after they attain age 18 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:

	2014			2013			2012

In March 2001, the Company adopted the HMN Financial, Inc. 2001 Omnibus Stock Plan (2001 Plan). In April 2009, this plan was superseded by the HMN Financial, Inc. 2009 Equity and Incentive Plan (2009 Plan) and options or restricted shares may no longer be awarded from the 2001 Plan. As of December 31, 2014, there were 15,000 vested options under the 2001 Plan that remained unexercised. These options expire 10 years from the date of grant and have an average exercise price of $30.00. As of December 31, 2014, all shares of restricted stock granted under the 2001 Plan have vested.

In April 2009, the Company adopted the 2009 Plan. The purpose of the 2009 Plan is to provide key personnel and advisors with an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. The opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company is intended to aid in attracting, motivating and retaining key personnel and advisors, including non-employee directors, and to align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders. 350,000 shares of HMN common stock were initially available for distribution under the 2009 Plan in either restricted stock or stock options, subject to adjustment for future stock splits, stock dividends and similar changes to the capitalization of the Company. Additionally, shares of restricted stock that are awarded are counted as 1.2 shares for purposes of determining the total shares available for issuance under the 2009 Plan. As of December 31, 2014, there were vested options to purchase 15,000 shares under the 2009 Plan that remain unexercised. These options expire 10 years from the date of grant and have an average exercise price of $4.77.

Due to the Bank’s participation in the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (CPP) (see discussion elsewhere in this report), a portion of the vested restricted stock awards granted to certain executives during the period that Treasury held the Preferred Stock were to remain subject to transfer restrictions if, and so long as, the Treasury does not receive repayment of all of the financial assistance provided under the CPP. In accordance with Treasury policy, any such shares that would remain nontransferable indefinitely were to be cancelled. Following the sale by Treasury of the Preferred Stock to third party investors in 2013, approximately 82% of the CPP financial assistance to the Bank had been repaid, meaning that 25% of the shares subject to these restricted stock awards that had vested in 2011, 2012 and 2013 remained nontransferable and subject to possible cancellation. Based on an assessment, at the time, that these shares were likely to remain restricted indefinitely, they were cancelled during the first half of 2013 and returned to the Bank as treasury stock, and the number of shares cancelled were added back to the total shares available for future equity awards under the 2009 Plan. In light of the Company’s stock price performance since these cancellations occurred, the value that Treasury may be able to realize from the warrant to acquire Company common stock it continues to hold as a result of the CPP may be sufficient to enable the Treasury to receive repayment in full of all of the CPP financial assistance provided to the Bank, which would eliminate ongoing transfer restrictions on the restricted stock awards that vest in the future and the obligation to cancel any such vested shares. Accordingly, no additional shares were cancelled in 2014.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2014:

Exercise Price	Number Outstanding		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life in Years		Number Exercisable		Number Unexercisable		Unrecognized Compensation Expense		Weighted Average Years Over Which Unrecognized Compensation will be Recognized
30.00		15,000		0.4		15,000		0	$	0	N/A
4.77		15,000		4.4		15,000		0		0	N/A
		30,000				30,000		0	$	0

The Company will issue shares from treasury stock upon the exercise of outstanding options.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic value method as described in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations to account for its stock incentive plans. Accordingly, there were 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. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recognized compensation expense in 2014, 2013 and 2012 relating to stock options over the vesting period. The amount of the expense was determined under the fair value method.

The fair value for each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using a Black Scholes option valuation model. There were no options granted in 2014, 2013 or 2012.

NOTE 15 Stockholders' Equity

The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the open market during 2014, 2013 or 2012. The Company has not made any dividend payments on its common stock since the third quarter of 2008.

The Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000 shares of preferred stock, and on December 23, 2008, the Company completed the sale of 26,000 shares of Preferred Stock to the United States Treasury. The Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $1,000 per share and a related warrant was also issued to purchase 833,333 shares of HMN common stock at an exercise price of $4.68 per share. The transaction was part of the United States Treasury’s CPP under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. Under the terms of the sale, the shares of Preferred Stock were entitled to a quarterly cumulative compounding dividend at a stated rate of 5% per annum for each of the first five years of the investment, which increased to 9% on February 15, 2014, until HMN redeems the shares.

On February 8, 2013, the Treasury sold the Preferred Stock issued to unaffiliated third party investors in a private transaction for $18.8 million. The Company received no proceeds from the sale and it had no effect on the terms of the outstanding Preferred Stock. Further, the sale of the Preferred Stock had no effect on the Company’s capital, financial condition or results of operations. Because of the sale, the Company generally is no longer subject to the various executive compensation and corporate governance requirements to which participants in Treasury’s CPP were subject while Treasury held the Preferred Stock.

Treasury continues to hold the warrant to purchase 833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.68, which Treasury may sell in its discretion, subject to applicable securities laws and the Company’s right to repurchase the warrant at fair market value under the terms of the Company’s agreements with Treasury. The warrant may be exercised at any time over its ten-year term and Treasury has agreed not to exercise any voting rights received by acquiring common stock on the exercise of the warrant. The discount on the common stock warrant was amortized over the first five years the preferred stock was outstanding.

All dividends on the Preferred Stock were current as of December 31, 2014. During 2014, the Company paid the following dividends on, and effected the following redemptions of, its Preferred Stock:

Date	Dividend	Redemption
May 15, 2014	$201.71 per share	10,000 shares of Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis at $1,000 per share

In order to grant a priority to eligible accountholders in the event of future liquidation, the Bank, at the time of conversion to a stock savings bank, 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 decrease as the balance of eligible accountholders is reduced subsequent to the conversion, based on an annual determination of such balance.

NOTE 16 Regulatory Matters/Supervisory Agreements and IMCR

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 the Company'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.

The Bank entered into a written Supervisory Agreement with the OTS, its primary regulator at the time, effective February 22, 2011, that primarily related to the Bank’s financial performance and credit quality issues. This agreement replaced the prior memorandum of understanding that the Bank entered into with its primary regulator on December 9, 2009. In accordance with the agreement, the Bank submitted a two year business plan in May of 2011 that the OCC (as successor to the OTS) accepted with the expectation that the Bank would be in adherence with the OCC’s Notification of Establishment of Higher Minimum Capital Ratios, dated August 8, 2011, or IMCR, which required the Bank to establish and maintain a minimum core capital ratio of 8.50% by December 31, 2011. The IMCR is discussed more fully below. As required by the Supervisory Agreement, the Bank submitted updated two year business plans in January of 2012, 2013, and 2014. The Bank was required to operate within the parameters of the business plan and was required to monitor and submit periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. The Bank also submitted problem asset reduction plans at the same time that the business plans were submitted. The Bank was required to operate within the parameters of the problem asset plan and to monitor and submit periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. The Bank has also revised its loan modification policies and its program for identifying, monitoring and controlling risk associated with concentrations of credit, and improved the documentation relating to the allowance for loan and lease losses as required by the agreement. In addition, prior to termination of the Bank Supervisory Agreement, as described below, the Bank could not declare or pay any cash dividends, increase its total assets during any quarter in excess of the amount of the net interest credited on deposit liabilities during the prior quarter, enter into any new contractual arrangement or renew or extend any existing arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any directors or officers, make any golden parachute payments, or enter into any significant contracts with a third party service provider without the consent of the OCC.

Pursuant to the IMCR, effective December 31, 2011, the Bank was required to establish, and subsequently maintain, core capital at least equal to 8.50% of adjusted total assets. The Bank’s core capital to adjusted total assets ratio improved to 12.22% at December 31, 2013. Effective February 11, 2014 the OCC terminated the Supervisory Agreement and the IMCR to which the Bank was a party or was subject. As a result, the capital ratio and periodic reporting requirements, asset growth restrictions and significant contract restrictions are no longer applicable to the Bank. The dividend and compensation restrictions expressly set forth in the Bank Supervisory Agreement also terminated, although the Bank remains subject to generally applicable limitations on dividends and certain compensation arrangements under federal banking laws and regulations.

The Company also entered into a written Supervisory Agreement with the OTS effective February 22, 2011. This agreement replaced the prior memorandum of understanding that the Company entered into with its primary regulator on December 9, 2009. As required by the Supervisory Agreement, the Company submitted updated two year consolidated capital plans in January of 2012, 2013, and 2014. The Company was required to operate within the parameters of the capital plan and to monitor and submit periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. In addition, without the consent of the FRB (as successor to the OTS), the Company could not incur or issue any debt, guarantee the debt of any entity, declare or pay any cash dividends or repurchase any of the Company’s capital stock, enter into any new contractual arrangement or renew or extend any existing arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any director or officer, or make any golden parachute payments. Effective May 1, 2014, the FRB terminated the Supervisory Agreement to which the Company was subject.

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 Tier I (Core) capital, and Risk-based capital (as defined in the regulations) to total assets (as defined).

As of January 1, 2015, the Bank is also required to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier I risk based capital, a new measure introduced by the FRB, FDIC and OCC (as described below).

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Bank's capital amounts and ratios are presented for actual capital, required capital and excess capital including amounts and ratios in order to qualify as being well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations:

	Actual					Required to be Adequately Capitalized					Excess Capital					To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
(Dollars in thousands)	Amount		Percent of Assets⁽¹⁾			Amount		Percent of Assets ⁽¹⁾			Amount		Percent of Assets⁽¹⁾			Amount		Percent of Assets⁽¹⁾
December 31, 2014
Tier I or core capital	$	66,976		11.76	%	$	22,775		4.00	%	$	44,201		7.76	%	$	28,469		5.00	%
Tier I risk-based capital		66,976		17.21			15,562		4.00			51,414		13.21			23,343		6.00
Risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets		71,882		18.48			31,125		8.00			40,757		10.48			38,906		10.00

December 31, 2013

Tier I risk-based capital		77,848		19.51			15,963		4.00			61,885		15.51			23,944		6.00
Risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets		82,916		20.78			31,926		8.00			50,990		12.78			39,907		10.00

(1) Based upon the Bank’s adjusted total assets for the purpose of the Tier I or core capital ratios and risk-weighted assets for the purpose of the risk-based capital ratio.

Management believes that, as of December 31, 2014, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those quantitative capital ratio standards applicable on that date, set forth under the prompt corrective action regulations referenced above. However, as noted below, these measures have changed and there can be no assurance that the Bank will continue to maintain such status in the future. The OCC has extensive discretion in its supervisory and enforcement activities, and can further adjust the requirement to be “well-capitalized” in the future.

The capital requirements of the Company and the Bank are affected by regulatory changes issued in July 2013 by the FRB, the FDIC and the OCC. The changes establish an integrated regulatory capital framework for implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s Basel III regulatory capital reforms and implementing the changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. The new capital requirements are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2015, and among other things, apply a strengthened set of capital requirements to both the Bank and the Company and revise the rules for calculating risk-weighted assets for purposes of such requirements. Among other new restrictions implemented by these rules, on and after January 1, 2015, 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 8% or greater, (iii) has a Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.5% or greater, (iv) has a leverage ratio of 5% or greater, and (v) is not subject to any order or written directive by the OCC to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure; and "adequately capitalized" if it (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, (ii) has a Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, (iii) has a Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5% or greater, and (iv) has a leverage ratio of 4% or greater. Management believes that, as of January 1, 2015, both the Bank’s and Company’s capital positions were in excess of the amounts required to be considered well capitalized under the revised Basel III capital requirements.

NOTE 17 Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company 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 Company.

The Company'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 Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

	December 31, Contract Amount
(Dollars in thousands)	2014		2013
Financial instruments whose contract amount represents credit risk:
Commitments to originate, fund or purchase loans:
1-4 family mortgages	$	1,204		523
Commercial real estate mortgages		24,956		25,514
Non-real estate commercial loans		1,288		13,095
Undisbursed balance of loans closed		25,875		7,586
Unused lines of credit		86,714		79,136
Letters of credit		1,541		1,017
Total commitments to extend credit	$	141,578		126,871
Forward commitments	$	3,279		2,025

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer, at the customer’s request, 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 and commercial real estate and personal property.

Forward commitments represent commitments to sell loans to a third party following the closing of the loan and are entered into in the normal course of business by the Bank.

The Bank issued standby letters of credit which guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. The standby letters of credit outstanding expire over the next 18 months and totaled $1.5 million at December 31, 2014 and $1.0 million at December 31, 2013. The letters of credit are collateralized primarily with commercial real estate mortgages. Draws on standby letters of credit would be initiated by the secured party under the terms of the underlying obligation. Since the conditions under which the Bank is required to fund the standby letters of credit may not materialize, the cash requirements are expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments.

The Company also has certain obligations and commitments to make future payments under existing contracts. At December 31, 2014, the aggregate contractual obligations (excluding bank deposits) and commercial commitments were as follows:

	Payments Due by Period
(Dollars in thousands)	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		4-5 Years		After 5 Years
Contractual Obligations:
Annual rental commitments under non-cancellable operating leases	$	7,265		802		1,557		1,360		3,546

NOTE 18 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company originates single-family residential loans for sale into the secondary market and enters into commitments to sell those loans in order to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with holding the loans until they are sold. The Company accounts for its commitments in accordance with ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

The Company had commitments outstanding to extend credit to future borrowers that had not closed prior to the end of the year, which is referred to as its mortgage pipeline. As commitments to originate loans enter the mortgage pipeline, the Company generally enters into commitments to sell the loans into the secondary market. The commitments to originate and sell loans are derivatives that are recorded at fair value. As a result of marking these derivatives to fair value for the period ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an increase in other liabilities of $7,000, an increase in other assets of $15,000 and a net gain on the sale of loans of $8,000. As a result of marking these derivatives to fair value for the period ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a decrease in other liabilities of $24,000, a decrease in other assets of $26,000 and a net loss on the sale of loans of $2,000.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the current commitments to sell loans held for sale are derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The loans held for sale that are not hedged are recorded at the lower of cost or market. As a result of marking these loans for the period ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded an increase in other liabilities of $1,000, and a net loss on the sales of loans of $1,000. As a result of marking these loans for the period ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an increase in other liabilities of $6,000, and a net loss on the sales of loans of $6,000.

NOTE 19 Fair Value Measurement

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities using a hierarchy system consisting of three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market and are used only to the extent that observable inputs are not available. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The following table summarizes the assets of the Company for which fair values are determined on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

	Carrying Value at December 31, 2014
(Dollars in thousands)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Securities available for sale	$	137,834		0		137,834		0
Mortgage loan commitments		16		0		16		0
Total	$	137,850		0		137,850		0

Mortgage loan commitments		2		0		2		0
Total	$	107,958		0		107,958		0

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of the lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in 2014 and 2013 that were still held at December 31, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets or portfolios at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 20 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of estimated fair values of the Company'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, 2014 and 2013 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 the Company'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.

The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments are shown below. Following the table, there is an explanation of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

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 were based upon quoted market prices.

Loans Held for Sale

The fair values 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

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market account deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

The fair value estimate for deposits does not include the benefit that results from the low cost funding provided by the Company'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.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The fair values of advances with fixed maturities are estimated based on discounted cash flow analysis using as discount rates the interest rates charged by the FHLB for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

Accrued Interest Payable

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

Commitments to Extend Credit

The fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees normally charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counter parties.

Commitments to Sell Loans

The fair values of commitments to sell loans are estimated using the quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates and terms to maturity.

NOTE 22 Business Segments

The Bank has been identified as a reportable operating segment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 280. HMN, the holding company, did not meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment and therefore is included in the “Other” category. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segment’s net income, return on average assets and return on average equity. Each corporation is managed separately with its own officers and board of directors.

The following table sets forth certain information about the reconciliations of reported net income and assets for each of the Company’s reportable segments.

Board of Directors and Stockholders

HMN Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Rochester, Minnesota

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of HMN Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion of these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated balance sheet of HMN Financial, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 11, 2014, was unqualified.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 audit provides 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 as of December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
