Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	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 does business as Home Federal Investment Services and offers financial planning products and services, and HFSB Property Holdings, LLC (HPH), which is currently inactive, but has acted in the past 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 this Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 3, 2023. *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. 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. 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. *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 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 with discounts amortized over the period to maturity and premiums amortized to the earliest call date. 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 with discounts amortized over the period to maturity and premiums amortized to the earliest call date. 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. *Equity Securities* Equity securities are carried at their fair market value with any changes during the period recognized in other income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. *Loans Held for Sale* Mortgage loans originated 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 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 loan 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, regional and local economic conditions (such as unemployment data, loan delinquencies, demand for single family homes, demand for commercial real estate and building lots), loan portfolio composition, 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 materially 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. 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 is 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. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on January 1, 2023, which changed the methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses. See the “New Accounting Pronouncements” section later in this Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. 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, the borrower has consistently made the required payments for a period of six months, and the collectability of remaining principal and interest is no longer doubtful. Previously collected interest payments that were applied to principal when the loan was classified as non-accrual are recorded as interest income using the effective yield method over the estimated life of the loan, including expected renewal terms. 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 more, or restructured in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) 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 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 when the loan is refinanced with terms that reflect normal market terms for the type of credit involved and performs according to the modified terms for a period of at least one year. The second condition is when the loan is repaid or charged off. FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructures by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. See the “New Accounting Pronouncements” section later in this Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023. *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 of ownership, (3) the rights of each participating interest holder must have the same priority, and (4) no party has the right to pledge or exchange the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree to do so. *Real Estate, net* Real estate acquired through loan foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at its fair value less estimated selling costs. Third party appraisals are obtained as soon as it is practical after obtaining possession of the 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. *Mortgage Servicing Rights, net* Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized at their 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. *Premises and Equipment, net* Land is carried at cost. Office buildings, improvements, and furniture and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years for office buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment. *Goodwill* The Company records goodwill for acquisition amounts paid in excess of the net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if there are indications of impairment. *Core Deposit Intangible, net* The Company records the estimated fair value of the deposit base acquired in an acquisition as a core deposit intangible asset. The recorded amount is amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated life of the deposits acquired. *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 options 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 based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year and then allocated to eligible employees. 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 of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities 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. The Company is no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019. *Earnings per Common Share* Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the income available to common shareholders 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 (Loss) Income* Comprehensive (loss) income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive (loss) income is the total of net income and other comprehensive (loss) income, which for the Company is comprised of unrealized losses and gains 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* In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructures by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. For public business entities, such as HMN, the amendments in this ASU require that an entity disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost in the vintage disclosures required by paragraph 326-20-50-6. The amendments in the ASU will be effective for entities, such as HMN, that have not yet adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13 when ASU 2016-13 is adopted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except as provided in the next sentence. For the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023, and the impact will result in changes to subsequent disclosures in the Company’s financial statements but those changes are not expected to be material. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that measure credit losses on financial instruments including loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial asset that has a contractual right to receive cash that is not specifically excluded. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology required in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. The amendments in this ASU will affect entities to varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets held by the entity, the duration of the assets held, and how the entity applies the current incurred loss methodology. The amendments in this ASU, for public business entities that are filers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), were originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. On November 26, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326,* Financial Instruments* – Credit Losses which delayed the implementation date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC smaller reporting companies, such as HMN, from the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2023. All entities may adopt the amendments in the ASU early as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Amendments should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2023. The transition to the new ASU will be through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning date of January 1, 2023. Based on our current calculation that is being finalized, the adoption of this ASU will result in a 7% to 11% increase in the allowance for loan losses that was established as of December 31, 2022. On February 6, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842)-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU related to Leases (Topic 842) did not have any impact on the Company. The amendments in this ASU related to Topic 326 adds additional guidance related to the SEC’s expectations for the documentation of the measurement, review process, and the systematic methodology used by entities to determine the current credit losses under FASB ASC Topic 326. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2023 and will be required to have periodic third party reviews performed on the Company’s calculation of the allowance for loan losses in subsequent periods. *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 the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

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 does business as Home Federal Investment Services and offers financial planning products and services, and HFSB Property Holdings, LLC (HPH), which is currently inactive, but has acted in the past 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 this Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 3, 2023.

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.

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. 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.

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 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 with discounts amortized over the period to maturity and premiums amortized to the earliest call date. 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 with discounts amortized over the period to maturity and premiums amortized to the earliest call date. 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.

Equity Securities

Equity securities are carried at their fair market value with any changes during the period recognized in other income on the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans originated 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 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 loan 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, regional and local economic conditions (such as unemployment data, loan delinquencies, demand for single family homes, demand for commercial real estate and building lots), loan portfolio composition, 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 materially 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. 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 is 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.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on January 1, 2023, which changed the methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses. See the “New Accounting Pronouncements” section later in this Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023.

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, the borrower has consistently made the required payments for a period of six months, and the collectability of remaining principal and interest is no longer doubtful. Previously collected interest payments that were applied to principal when the loan was classified as non-accrual are recorded as interest income using the effective yield method over the estimated life of the loan, including expected renewal terms.

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 more, or restructured in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) 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 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 when the loan is refinanced with terms that reflect normal market terms for the type of credit involved and performs according to the modified terms for a period of at least one year. The second condition is when the loan is repaid or charged off.

FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructures by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. See the “New Accounting Pronouncements” section later in this Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023.

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 of ownership, (3) the rights of each participating interest holder must have the same priority, and (4) no party has the right to pledge or exchange the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree to do so.

Real Estate, net

Real estate acquired through loan foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at its fair value less estimated selling costs. Third party appraisals are obtained as soon as it is practical after obtaining possession of the 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.

Mortgage Servicing Rights, net

Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized at their 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.

Premises and Equipment, net

Land is carried at cost. Office buildings, improvements, and furniture and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 40 years for office buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment.

Goodwill

The Company records goodwill for acquisition amounts paid in excess of the net assets purchased. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if there are indications of impairment.

Core Deposit Intangible, net

The Company records the estimated fair value of the deposit base acquired in an acquisition as a core deposit intangible asset. The recorded amount is amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated life of the deposits acquired.

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 options 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 based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year and then allocated to eligible employees. 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 of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities 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. The Company is no longer subject to federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the income available to common shareholders 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 (Loss) Income

Comprehensive (loss) income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive (loss) income is the total of net income and other comprehensive (loss) income, which for the Company is comprised of unrealized losses and gains 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

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructures by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. For public business entities, such as HMN, the amendments in this ASU require that an entity disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost in the vintage disclosures required by paragraph 326-20-50-6. The amendments in the ASU will be effective for entities, such as HMN, that have not yet adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13 when ASU 2016-13 is adopted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except as provided in the next sentence. For the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023, and the impact will result in changes to subsequent disclosures in the Company’s financial statements but those changes are not expected to be material.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that measure credit losses on financial instruments including loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial asset that has a contractual right to receive cash that is not specifically excluded. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology required in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. The amendments in this ASU will affect entities to varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets held by the entity, the duration of the assets held, and how the entity applies the current incurred loss methodology. The amendments in this ASU, for public business entities that are filers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), were originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. On November 26, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses which delayed the implementation date of ASU 2016-13 for SEC smaller reporting companies, such as HMN, from the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2023. All entities may adopt the amendments in the ASU early as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Amendments should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2023. The transition to the new ASU will be through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning date of January 1, 2023. Based on our current calculation that is being finalized, the adoption of this ASU will result in a 7% to 11% increase in the allowance for loan losses that was established as of December 31, 2022.

On February 6, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842)-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this ASU related to Leases (Topic 842) did not have any impact on the Company. The amendments in this ASU related to Topic 326 adds additional guidance related to the SEC’s expectations for the documentation of the measurement, review process, and the systematic methodology used by entities to determine the current credit losses under FASB ASC Topic 326. The Company adopted this ASU beginning on January 1, 2023 and will be required to have periodic third party reviews performed on the Company’s calculation of the allowance for loan losses in subsequent periods.

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 the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
