$ 22.15 $ 21.38 $ 22.15 $ 21.38 HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the
Company) (NASDAQ:HMNF), the $1.1 billion holding company for Home
Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $2.4
million for the second quarter of 2007, down $494,000, or 16.8%,
from net income of $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2006.
Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2007
were $0.62, down $0.11, or 15.1%, from $0.73 for the second quarter
of 2006. Second Quarter Results Net Interest Income Net interest
income was $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2007, an increase
of $105,000, or 1.1%, compared to $9.8 million for the second
quarter of 2006. Interest income was $19.6 million for the second
quarter of 2007, an increase of $2.6 million, or 15.4%, from $17.0
million for the same period in 2006. Interest income increased
primarily because average interest earning assets increased $94
million between the periods and because the average yield earned on
loans and investments increased. The increase in average interest
earning assets was the result of a $50 million increase in the
average outstanding loans and $44 million increase in the average
outstanding cash and investments between the periods. The average
yield on investments increased 110 basis points between the periods
primarily because maturing investments were reinvested at higher
rates. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was
7.47% for the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 36 basis
points from the 7.11% average yield for the second quarter of 2006.
Interest expense was $9.8 million for the second quarter of 2007,
an increase of $2.5 million, or 34.6%, compared to $7.3 million for
the second quarter of 2006. Interest expense increased primarily
because of the higher interest rates paid on new commercial money
market accounts and retail and brokered certificates of deposits.
The increased rates were the result of the 100 basis point increase
in the federal funds rate that occurred throughout the first six
months of 2006 that was not fully reflected in deposit rates until
the second half of 2006. Increases in the federal funds rate, which
is the rate that banks charge other banks for short term loans,
generally has a lagging effect and increases the rates banks pay
for deposits. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities was 3.94% for the second quarter of 2007, an increase
of 71 basis points from the 3.23% average interest rate paid in the
second quarter of 2006. Net interest margin (net interest income
divided by average interest earning assets) for the second quarter
of 2007 was 3.75%, a decrease of 33 basis points, compared to 4.08%
for the second quarter of 2006. Provision for Loan Losses The
provision for loan losses was $1.0 million for the second quarter
of 2007, an increase of $48,000, or 4.9%, from $1.0 million for the
second quarter of 2006. The provision for loan losses increased
primarily because of the $40 million in commercial loan growth that
was experienced in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the $11
million reduction in the commercial loan portfolio that occurred in
the second quarter of 2006. The increase in the provision due to
loan growth was partially offset by a reduction in the allowance
required for risk rated commercial loans in the second quarter of
2007 compared to the same period of 2006. Total non-performing
assets were $16.4 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $3.7
million, from $12.7 million at March 31, 2007. Non-performing loans
increased $4.1 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets
decreased $428,000 during the period. The non-performing loan
activity for the quarter was as follows: classified $7.6 million in
loans as non-accruing, received $983,000 in principal payments on
non-accruing loans, reclassified $1.5 million as accruing,
transferred $931,000 to real estate owned, and charged off $97,000.
The increase in non-accruing loans relates primarily to $6.5
million in related commercial real estate development loans from
affiliated borrowers that were downgraded during the period. These
loans are for projects within our market area and are secured by
land, developed lots and other assets. Non-Interest Income and
Expense Non-interest income was $1.3 million for the second quarter
of 2007, a decrease of $474,000, or 26.8%, from $1.8 million for
the same period in 2006. Other non-interest income decreased
$261,000 because of increased losses on the sale of repossessed and
foreclosed properties and a decrease in revenues from the sale of
uninsured investment products. Gain on sales of loans decreased
$114,000 between the periods due primarily to a decrease in the
number of single-family mortgage loans sold and a decrease in the
profit margins on the loans that were sold. Competition in the
single-family loan origination market has remained strong as the
overall market has slowed and profit margins have been lowered in
order to remain competitive and maintain origination volumes.
Security gains decreased $48,000 due to decreased security sales.
Non-interest expense was $6.1 million for the second quarter of
2007, an increase of $386,000, or 6.7%, from $5.8 million for the
same period of 2006. Other non-interest expense increased $158,000
primarily because of increased expenses related to foreclosed real
estate and increased legal fees. Compensation expense increased
$144,000 primarily because of annual payroll cost increases. Data
processing costs increased $34,000 due to increases in the internet
and other banking services provided by the Bank�s third party
processor between the periods. Income tax expense decreased
$309,000 between the periods due to a decrease in taxable income.
Return on Assets and Equity Return on average assets for the second
quarter of 2007 was 0.89%, compared to 1.18% for the second quarter
of 2006. Return on average equity was 10.09% for the second quarter
of 2007, compared to 12.34% for the same period in 2006. Book value
per common share at June 30, 2007 was $22.15, compared to $21.38 at
June 30, 2006. Six Month Period Results Net Income Net income was
$5.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, an
increase of $34,000, or 0.6%, from $5.7 million for the six month
period ended June 30, 2006. Diluted earnings per share for the six
month period in 2007 were $1.45, up $0.04, or 2.8%, from $1.41 for
the same period in 2006. The increase in diluted earnings per share
was primarily due to a decrease of 85,415 shares in average net
shares outstanding between the periods as a result of the Company�s
share repurchase program. Net Interest Income Net interest income
was $19.6 million for the first six months of 2007, an increase of
$500,000, or 2.6%, from $19.1 million for the same period in 2006.
Interest income was $37.9 million for the six month period ended
June 30, 2007, an increase of $4.9 million, or 14.9%, from $33.0
million for the same six month period in 2006. Interest income
increased because of an increase in the average interest rates
earned on loans and investments and also because of the $78 million
increase in the average interest earning assets between the
periods. Interest rates increased primarily because maturing
investments were reinvested at higher rates. Interest on loans
increased because of the 100 basis point increase in the prime
interest rate that occurred during the first six months of 2006.
Increases in the prime rate, which is the rate that banks charge
their prime business customers, generally increase the rates on
adjustable rate consumer and commercial loans in the portfolio and
on new loans originated. The average yield earned on
interest-earning assets was 7.48% for the first six months of 2007,
an increase of 43 basis points from the 7.05% average yield for the
first six months of 2006. Interest expense was $18.3 million for
the first six months of 2007, an increase of $4.4 million, or
31.9%, compared to $13.9 million for the first six months of 2006.
Interest expense increased because of the higher interest rates
paid on new commercial money market accounts opened between the
periods and the higher rates paid on retail and brokered
certificates of deposits. The increased rates were the result of
the 100 basis point increase in the federal funds rate during the
first six months of 2006 that was not fully reflected in deposit
rates until the second half of 2006. The average interest rate paid
on interest-bearing liabilities was 3.98% for the first six months
of 2007, an increase of 68 basis points from the 3.30% average
interest rate paid in the first six months of 2006. Net interest
margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning
assets) for the first six months of 2007 was 3.88%, a decrease of
21 basis points, compared to 4.09% for the first six months of
2006. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses was
$1.5 million for the first six months of 2007, a decrease of
$12,000, or .8%, from the $1.5 million for the same six month
period in 2006. The provision for loan losses decreased primarily
because of the reduced allowance required for risk rated commercial
loans in the first six months of 2007 when compared to the same six
month period of 2006. The reduction in the provision related to the
reduced risk rating downgrades was partially offset by additions
relating to the $73 million increase in the commercial loan
portfolio in the first six months of 2007 compared to the $23
million reduction in the portfolio that was experienced in the
first six months of 2006. Total non-performing assets were $16.4
million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $6.0 million, from $10.4
million at December 31, 2006. Non-performing loans increased $3.3
million and foreclosed and repossessed assets increased $2.7
million during the period. The non-performing loan activity for the
period was as follows: classified $9.2 million in loans as
non-accruing, received $1.8 million in principal payments on
non-accruing loans, reclassified $1.7 million as accruing,
transferred $1.7 million to real estate owned, and charged off
$700,000. The increase in non-accruing loans relates primarily to
$6.5 million in related commercial real estate development loans
from affiliated borrowers that were downgraded during the period.
These loans are for projects within our market area and are secured
by land, developed lots and other assets. The increase in
foreclosed and repossessed assets relates primarily to a $2.9
million single-family home. An agreement has been signed to sell
this property and it is anticipated to be sold in the third
quarter. A reconciliation of the Company�s allowance for loan
losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and June 30,
2006 is summarized as follows: � (in thousands) 2007 2006 Balance

Non-Interest Income and Expense Non-interest income was $3.4
million for the first six months of 2007, an increase of $108,000,
or 3.3%, from $3.3 million for the same period in 2006. Gain on
sales of loans increased $436,000 between the periods primarily due
to the $597,000 increase in the gain recognized on the sale of
government guaranteed commercial loans that was partially offset by
a $161,000 decrease in the gain recognized on the sale of single
family loans due to a decrease in the number of loans sold and
profit margins realized on the loans that were sold. Competition in
the single-family loan origination market has remained strong as
the overall market has slowed and profit margins were lowered in
order to remain competitive and maintain origination volumes. Other
non-interest income decreased $178,000 primarily because of
increased losses on the sale of repossessed and foreclosed assets
and a decrease in revenues from the sale of uninsured investment
products. Security gains decreased $48,000 due to decreased
security sales. Fees and service charges decreased $33,000 between
the periods primarily because of decreased overdraft fees.
Non-interest expense was $12.1 million for the first six months of
2007, an increase of $396,000, or 3.4%, from $11.7 million for the
same period of 2006. Compensation expense increased $246,000
primarily because of annual payroll cost increases. Other
non-interest expense increased $136,000 primarily because of
increased expenses related to foreclosed real estate and increased
legal fees. Data processing costs increased $40,000 due to
increases in the internet and other banking services provided by
the Bank�s third party processor between the periods. Advertising
expense increased $63,000 between the periods due to increased
promotions and checking and consumer loan advertising. Income tax
expense increased $190,000 between the periods due an increase in
taxable income and an effective tax rate that increased from 38.2%
for the first six months of 2006 to 39.3% for the first six months
of 2007. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily the
result of decreased tax exempt income and changes in state tax
allocations. Return on Assets and Equity Return on average assets
for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 was 1.08%, compared to
1.16% for the same period in 2006. Return on average equity was
11.92% for the six month period ended in 2007, compared to 12.08%
for the same period in 2006. President�s Statement �Net interest
income continued to improve despite the net interest margin
compression experienced in the first six months of 2007. The
increase in net interest income was primarily the result of the
asset growth that occurred between the periods,� said HMN
President, Mike McNeil. �While loan growth has been strong, our
loan portfolio has not been immune to the nationwide real estate
downturn and our non-performing loans and the costs associated with
them have increased as a result. The current loan loss allowance
reflects our assessment of the potential losses on these loans
based on an evaluation of the available collateral and the
borrower�s ability to repay the loan.� General Information HMN
