HMN FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

September 30, 2017 and 2016

(1) HMN Financial, Inc.

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.

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

(2) Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of stockholders' equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.

(3) New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), with an original effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. This ASU is a converged standard between the FASB and the IASB that provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers across transactions and industries. The primary objective of the ASU is revenue recognition that represents the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In March, April, May and December of 2016 and February and September of 2017, the FASB also issued ASU 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-12, 2016-20, 2017-05, and 2017-13, respectively, related to Topic 606. The amendments in these subsequently issued ASUs do not change the core principles of the previously issued guidance, but instead provide more clarity and implementation guidance for certain aspects of the original ASU. The Company has completed its initial assessment of which revenue sources are within the scope of this ASU and is currently evaluating contracts to assess and quantify accounting methodology changes resulting from the adoption of the standard. The adoption of this ASU, and the related amendments, in the first quarter of 2018 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require, among other things, equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income and that public business entities use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The amendments also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments also eliminate the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in the ASU create Topic 842, Leases, and supersede the lease requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The objective of this ASU is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. The main difference between previous GAAP and this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The amendment requires a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and the right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply that will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP unless the lease is modified. The amendments in the ASU, for public business entities, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2019 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The amendments are intended to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU, for public business entities, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. 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 adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2017 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filers, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods. 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. Management is still in the process of evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2020 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230 and address the following eight specific cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interest in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The amendments in the ASU add and amend SEC paragraphs pursuant to the SEC staff announcement at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meetings. The September announcement is about the disclosure of the impact that recently issued accounting standards will have on the financial statements of a registrant when such standards are adopted in a future period. The announcement applies to ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842); and ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and to any subsequent amendments to these ASUs that are issued prior to their adoption. The November announcement made amendments to conform the SEC Observer comment on accounting for tax benefits resulting from investments in qualified affordable housing projects to the guidance issued in Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-01, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323); Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. This ASU is intended to improve transparency and is effective for public business entities upon issuance. The adoption of this ASU is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than to enhance the disclosures on the effects of new accounting pronouncements as they move closer to adoption in future periods.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU were issued to address concerns over the cost and complexity of the two-step goodwill impairment test and resulted in the removal of the second step of the test. The amendments require an entity to apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. This ASU is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the two-step goodwill impairment test and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted for testing performed after January 1, 2017. Upon adoption, the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis and the entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. The adoption of this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2020 when the annual assessment is completed is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount as discounts continue to be amortized to maturity. This ASU is intended to more closely align the amortization period of premiums and discounts to expectations incorporated in market pricing on the underlying securities. In most cases, market participants price securities to the call date that produces the worst yield when the coupon is above current market rates and prices securities to maturity when the coupon is below market rates. As a result, the amendments more closely align interest income recorded on bonds held at a premium or a discount with the economics of the underlying instrument. This ASU is intended to reduce diversity in practice and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the amendments should be applied using a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principles. The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2019 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this ASU provide clarity about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU but, when adopted in the first quarter of 2018, it is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’ consolidated financial statements.

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 and liabilities of the Company for which fair values are determined on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

	Carrying value at September 30, 2017
(Dollars in thousands)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Securities available for sale	$	78,351		0		78,351		0

Total	$	78,429		0		78,429		0

Total	$	78,543		0		78,543		0

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3 during the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2017.

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 GAAP. 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 the third quarter of 2017 that were still held at September 30, 2017, 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

(5) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

GAAP requires interim reporting period disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments, including assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value hierarchy level for each asset and liability, as defined in note 4, have been included in the following table for September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The fair value estimates are made 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 estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are shown in the following table.


	September 30, 2017													December 31, 2016

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 for identical or similar instruments in active markets.

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, net

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 Federal Home Loan Bank (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.

Other Borrowings

The fair values of other borrowings 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 counterparties.

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.

(6) Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

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

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 reported for corporate preferred stock over twelve months at September 30, 2017 relates to a single trust preferred security that was issued by the holding company of a small community bank. As of September 30, 2017 interest payments were current on the trust preferred security and the issuer’s subsidiary bank was considered to be “well capitalized” based on its most recent regulatory filing. Based on a review of the issuer, it was determined that the trust preferred security was not other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017. The Company does not intend to sell the trust preferred security and has the 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 securities 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.

Classified loans represent special mention, substandard (performing and non-performing), and non-performing loans categorized as 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 essentially uncollateralized and/or considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset on the balance sheet may not be 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, non-accruing loans totaled $3.3 million for which the related allowance for loan losses was $0.9 million and $0.8 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-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 $0.7 million at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Non-accrual loans also include certain loans that have had terms modified in a TDR.

The non-accrual loans at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are summarized as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 there were loans included in loans receivable, net, with terms that had been modified in a TDR totaling $3.6 million and $3.3 million, respectively. For the loans that were restructured in the third quarter of 2017, $34,000 were classified but performing, and $0.2 million were non-performing at September 30, 2017. For the loans that were restructured in the third quarter of 2016, $0.2 million were classified but performing, and $1.5 million were non-performing at September 30, 2016.

The following table summarizes TDRs at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

As of September 30, 2017, the Bank had commitments to lend an additional $0.2 million to a borrower who has TDR and non-accrual loans. These additional funds are for the construction of single family homes with a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75%. These loans are secured by the home under construction. At December 31, 2016, there were commitments to lend additional funds of $0.4 million to this same borrower.

TDR concessions can include a 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 for the entire 12 month period. 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 balance sheet, as principal balances may be partially forgiven. The financial effects of TDRs are presented in the following tables and represent the difference between the outstanding recorded balance pre-modification and post-modification, for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

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 on non-accrual status 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 accrual 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 reserves for TDRs were $1.0 million, or 10.6%, of the total $9.3 million in loan loss reserves at September 30, 2017 and $0.6 million, or 6.2%, of the total $9.9 million in loan loss reserves at December 31, 2016.

The following is additional information with respect to loans acquired through acquisitions:

(Dollars in thousands)	Contractual Principal Receivable			Accretable Difference			Carrying Amount
Purchased performing loans:
Balance at June 30, 2017	$	13,267			(275	)		12,992

Balance at September 30, 2017	$	11,846			(261	)		11,585

(Dollars in thousands)	Contractual Principal Receivable			Non-Accretable Difference			Carrying Amount
Purchased credit impaired loans:

Change due to payments/refinances		(23	)		3			(20	)
Balance at September 30, 2017	$	363			(42	)		321

As a result of acquisitions, the Company has loans for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable at acquisition that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The carrying amount of those loans as of September 30, 2017 was $0.3 million.

No provision for loan losses was recognized during the period ended September 30, 2017 related to acquired loans, as there was no significant change to the credit quality of those loans.

(10) Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of mortgage servicing rights, core deposit intangibles, and goodwill. A summary of mortgage servicing activity is as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	Nine Months ended September 30, 2017			Twelve Months ended December 31, 2016			Nine Months ended September 30, 2016
Balance, beginning of period	$	1,604			1,499			1,499

Balance, end of period	$	1,654			1,604			1,537
Fair value of mortgage servicing rights	$	3,003			2,952			2,426

All of the loans being serviced were single family loans serviced for FNMA under the individual loan sale program. The following is a summary of the risk characteristics of the loans being serviced at September 30, 2017.

			Weighted			Weighted
	Loan		Average			Average
	Principal		Interest			Remaining		Number
(Dollars in thousands)	Balance		Rate			Term (months)		of Loans

Original term 15 year fixed rate		103,089		3.10			136		1,111
Adjustable rate		56		3.25			284		2

The gross carrying amount of intangible assets and the associated accumulated amortization at September 30, 2017 is presented in the following table. No amortization expense relating to goodwill is recorded as generally accepted accounting principles do not allow goodwill to be amortized, but require that it be tested for impairment at least annually, or sooner if there are indications that impairment may exist. Amortization expense for amortizing intangible assets was $0.5 million for both nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

	September 30, 2017
	Gross
(Dollars in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Unamortized Amount

Total	$	5,227		(2,410	)		2,817

The following table indicates the estimated future amortization expense for amortizing intangible assets:

(Dollars in thousands)	Mortgage Servicing Rights		Core Deposit Intangible		Total Amortizing Intangible Assets
Year ended December 31,
2017	$	118		25		143

2021		227		47		274
Thereafter		273		10		283
Total	$	1,654		379		2,033

Projections of amortization are based on existing asset balances and the existing interest rate environment as of September 30, 2017. The Company's actual experience may be significantly different depending upon changes in mortgage interest rates and other market conditions.

Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.37		0.30		0.83		0.99

(12) Regulatory Capital and Oversight

Effective January 1, 2015 the capital requirements of the Bank were changed to implement the regulatory requirements of the Basel III capital reforms. The Basel III requirements, among other things, (i) apply a strengthened set of capital requirements to the Bank (the Company is exempt, pursuant to the Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement (Policy Statement) described below), including requirements relating to common equity as a component of core capital, (ii) implement a “capital conservation buffer” against risk and a higher minimum tier 1 capital requirement, and (iii) revise the rules for calculating risk-weighted assets for purposes of such requirements. The rules made corresponding revisions to the prompt corrective action framework and include new capital ratios and buffer requirements which will be phased in incrementally, with full implementation scheduled for January 1, 2019. 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 its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

The Federal Reserve amended its Policy Statement, to exempt small bank holding companies from the above capital requirements, by raising the asset size threshold for determining applicability from $500 million to $1 billion. The Policy Statement was also expanded to include savings and loan holding companies that meet the Policy Statement’s qualitative requirements for exemption. The Company met the qualitative exemption requirements, and therefore, is exempt from the above capital requirements.

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table and defined in the regulation) of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets, Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, and total capital to risk weighted assets.

The Bank’s average total assets for the quarter ending September 30, 2017 were $710.3 million, its adjusted total assets were $709.1 million, and its risk-weighted assets were $604.9 million. The following table presents the Bank’s capital amounts and ratios at September 30, 2017 for actual capital, required capital, and excess capital, including ratios in order to qualify as being well capitalized under the Prompt Corrective Actions 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			Amount		Percent of Assets			Amount		Percent of Assets			Amount		Percent of Assets
September 30, 2017
Common equity tier 1 capital	$	76,306		12.62	%	$	27,219		4.50	%	$	49,086		8.12	%	$	39,317		6.50	%
Tier 1 capital leverage		76,306		10.76			28,365		4.00			47,941		6.76			35,456		5.00
Tier 1 risk-based capital		76,306		12.62			36,293		6.00			40,014		6.62			48,390		8.00
Total risk-based capital		83,889		13.87			48,390		8.00			35,499		5.87			60,488		10.00

Beginning in 2016, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer composed of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. For 2017, the capital conservation buffer is 1.25%. The buffer amount will increase incrementally each year until 2019 when the entire 2.50% capital conservation buffer will be fully phased in.

Management believes that, as of September 30, 2017, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those quantitative capital ratio standards set forth under the current prompt corrective action regulations, including the capital conservation buffer described above. However, there can be no assurance that the Bank will continue to maintain such status in the future. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has extensive discretion in its supervisory and enforcement activities, and can adjust the requirement to be “well-capitalized” in the future.

(13) Stockholders’ Equity

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 Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the Preferred Stock) to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury). The Preferred Stock had 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 Warrant). The transaction was part of the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.

On February 17, 2015, the Company redeemed the final 10,000 shares of outstanding Preferred Stock. On May 21, 2015, the Treasury sold the Warrant at an exercise price of $4.68 to three unaffiliated third party investors for an aggregate purchase price of $5.7 million. Two of the investors received a warrant to purchase 277,777.67 shares and one investor received a warrant to purchase 277,777.66 shares. All of the warrants were still outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and may be exercised at any time prior to their expiration date of December 23, 2018. The Company received no proceeds from this transaction and it had no effect on the Company’s capital, financial condition or results of operations.

(14) Other Borrowings

On December 15, 2014, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with an unrelated third party, providing for a term loan of up to $10.0 million that was evidenced by a promissory note (the Note) with an interest rate of 6.50% per annum. The principal balance of the loan was payable in consecutive equal annual installments of $1.0 million on each anniversary of the date of the Loan Agreement, commencing on December 15, 2015, with the balance due on December 15, 2021. The Company had the option to voluntarily prepay the Note in whole or in part without penalty. The Company made the scheduled $1.0 million principal payment on December 15, 2015, a $2.0 million payment on December 15, 2016, and on August 31, 2017 paid off the remaining principal balance of $7.0 million. There was no outstanding loan balance at September 30, 2017 and the loan balance was $7.0 million at December 31, 2016.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank issues standby letters of credit which guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. The standby letters of credit issued and available at September 30, 2017 were approximately $2.5 million, expire over the next 36 months, and are collateralized primarily with commercial real estate mortgages. 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.

(16) Business Segments

The Bank has been identified as a reportable operating segment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 280. HMN did not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments 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 equity. Each corporation is managed separately with its own officers and board of directors, some of whom may overlap between the corporations.

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

General

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 other borrowings. 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 composition 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, commissions on the sale of uninsured investment products, and service charges on deposit accounts. The Bank incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in the form of salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, provisions for loan losses, deposit insurance, amortization expense on intangible assets, data processing costs, fees for professional services, 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.

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 consolidated 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. The allowance is also credited for recoveries received on previously charged off loans. The activity in the allowance in the first nine months of 2017 resulted in a 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.

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 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. It is possible that future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining that no valuation allowance was required 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 FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016

Net Income

Net income was $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.4 million compared to net income of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2016. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2017 was $0.37, an increase of $0.07, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.30 for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in net income for the third quarter of 2017 is due primarily to a $0.7 million decrease in the provision for loan losses as a result of the continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and a $0.2 million increase in net interest income because of an increase in the average interest-earning assets and a change in the composition of the average interest-earning assets held between the periods. These improvements in net income were partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of $0.2 million as a result of the increase in pre-tax income, a decrease of $0.1 million on the gain on sales of loans as a result of fewer commercial guaranteed loan sales between the periods, and an increase in other non-interest expenses of $0.1 million related primarily to an increase in legal fees between the periods.

Net income was $4.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 13.9%, compared to net income of $4.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016. Diluted earnings per share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was $0.83, a decrease of $0.16 per share, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.99 for the same period of 2016. The decrease in net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was due primarily to a $0.3 million decrease in the gain on sales of loans due to the reduced sales of commercial government guaranteed loans between the periods. Non-interest expenses also increased $1.1 million between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the gains on real estate sales due to fewer real estate sales and an increase in compensation expense due primarily to annual salary increases. These decreases in net income were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in the provision for loan losses as a result of the continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and a $0.1 million increase in net interest income because of an increase in the average interest-earning assets and a change in the composition of the average interest-earning assets held between the periods. Income tax expense also decreased $0.4 million because of the decrease in pre-tax income between the periods.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.2 million, or 3.1%, from $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2016. Interest income was $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.3 million, or 4.3%, from $7.0 million for the same period in 2016. Interest income increased $0.6 million because of an increase in the average interest-earning assets and a change in the composition of the average interest-earning assets held, which resulted in an 8 basis point increase in the average yields earned between the periods. While the average interest-earning assets increased $48.1 million between the periods, the average interest-earning assets held in higher yielding loans increased $52.2 million and the amount of average interest-earning assets held in lower yielding cash and investments decreased $4.1 million between the periods. The increase in the average outstanding loans between the periods was primarily the result of an increase in the commercial loan portfolio which occurred because of an increase in loan originations and a reduction in loan payoffs between the periods. The increase in interest income as a result of these items was partially offset by a decrease in interest income as a result of recognizing a lower amount of yield enhancements between the periods. Interest income decreased $0.3 million due to a decrease in the amount of yield enhancements recognized from loan prepayment penalties, yield adjustments on purchased loans, and the interest payments received on non-accruing and previously charged off commercial real estate loans which resulted in a 22 basis point decrease in the average yield between the periods. It is anticipated that the yield enhancements relating to these items will be lower in subsequent periods as the pool of non-accruing and purchased loans continues to decline. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.21% for the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of 14 basis points from 4.35% for the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets is primarily related to the decrease in yield enhancements recognized between the periods.

Interest expense was $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.1 million, or 22.0%, from $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2016. The average interest rate paid on non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities was 0.31% for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of 4 basis points from 0.27% for the third quarter of 2016. The average rate paid increased between the periods due to an increase in the rates paid on certain money market and certificate of deposit accounts that was partially offset by a decrease in the interest paid on other borrowings due to a decrease in the average borrowings outstanding between the periods. While the average non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities increased $40.0 million between the periods, the average amount held in lower rate checking, savings, and money market accounts increased $1.8 million, the average amount held in higher rate premium money market and certificate of deposit accounts increased $42.5 million, and the average amount held in higher rate borrowings decreased $4.3 million between the periods.

Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the third quarter of 2017 was 3.92%, a decrease of 18 basis points, compared to 4.10% for the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily related to the decrease in yield enhancements recognized between the periods.

Net interest income was $19.6 million for the first nine months of 2017, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.4%, from $19.5 million for the same period of 2016. Interest income was $20.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.3%, from $20.6 million for the same nine month period of 2016. Interest income increased $1.8 million because of an increase in the average interest-earning assets and a change in the composition of the average interest-earning assets held, which resulted in an 11 basis point increase in the average yields earned between the periods. While the average interest-earning assets increased $42.3 million between the periods, the average interest-earning assets held in higher yielding loans increased $65.3 million and the amount of average interest-earning assets held in lower yielding cash and investments decreased $23.0 million between the periods. The increase in the average outstanding loans between the periods was primarily the result of an increase in the commercial loan portfolio, which occurred because of an increase in loan originations and a reduction in loan payoffs between the periods. The increase in interest income as a result of these items was partially offset by a decrease in interest income as a result of recognizing a lower amount of yield enhancements between the periods. Interest income decreased $1.5 million due to a decrease in the amount of yield enhancements recognized from loan prepayment penalties, yield adjustments on purchased loans, and the interest payments received on non-accruing and previously charged off commercial real estate loans, which resulted in a 33 basis point decrease in the average yield between the periods. It is anticipated that the yield enhancements relating to these items will be lower in subsequent periods as the pool of non-accruing and purchased loans continues to decline. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.21% for the first nine months of 2017, a decrease of 22 basis points from 4.43% for the first nine months of 2016. The decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets is primarily related to the decrease in yield enhancements recognized between the periods.

Interest expense was $1.4 million for the first nine months of 2017, an increase of $0.2 million, or 16.1%, compared to $1.2 million for the first nine months of 2016. The average interest rate paid on non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities was 0.30% for the first nine months of 2017, an increase of 3 basis points from 0.27% for the first nine months of 2016. The average rate paid increased between the periods due to an increase in the rates paid on certain money market and certificate of deposit accounts that was partially offset by a decrease in the interest paid on other borrowings due to a decrease in the average borrowings outstanding between the periods. While the average non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities increased $33.5 million between the periods, the average amount held in lower rate checking, savings, and money market accounts increased $2.7 million, the average amount held in higher rate premium money market and certificate of deposit accounts increased $33.6 million, and the average amount held in higher rate borrowings decreased $2.8 million between the periods.

Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the first nine months of 2017 was 3.94%, a decrease of 24 basis points, compared to 4.18% for the first nine months of 2016. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily related to the decrease in yield enhancements recognized between the periods.

A summary of the Company’s net interest margin for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 is as follows:

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was ($0.6) million for the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of $0.7 million from the $0.1 million provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2016. The provision for loan losses was ($0.6) million for the first nine months of 2017, a decrease of $0.3 million from the ($0.3) million provision for loan losses for the same nine month period of 2016. The provision for loan losses decreased between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the reserve percentages applied to certain risk rated loan categories as a result of the regular periodic internal analysis of the loan portfolio.

A reconciliation of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 is summarized as follows:

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 11.1%, from $2.1 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease in non-interest income is primarily related to the $0.1 million decrease in the gain on sales of loans between the periods due to a decrease in commercial government guaranteed loan sales. Other non-interest income decreased $0.1 million due to a decrease in the income recognized on the sale of uninsured investment products between the periods. Fees and service charges decreased $0.1 million between the periods primarily because of a decrease in overdraft fees. These decreases in non-interest income were partially offset by a slight increase in loan servicing fees earned between the periods.

Non-interest income was $5.7 million for the first nine months of 2017, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 5.1%, from $6.0 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease in non-interest income is related to the $0.3 million decrease in the gain on sales of loans between the periods due to a decrease in commercial government guaranteed loan sales. Fees and service charges decreased slightly between the periods primarily because of a decrease in overdraft fees. Other non-interest income decreased slightly due to a decrease in the income recognized on the sale of uninsured investment products between the periods. These decreases in non-interest income were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in loan servicing fees earned between the periods.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.9%, from $6.2 million for the same period of 2016. Other non-interest expense increased $0.1 million due primarily to an increase in advertising expenses between the periods as a result of a deposit promotion that was implemented during the third quarter of 2017. Professional services expense increased $0.1 million due to an increase in legal expenses between the periods. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $0.1 million because of increased software and equipment expenses. These increases in non-interest expenses were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in compensation expense related to decreased incentives between the periods. Data processing expense decreased $0.1 million between the periods due to a decrease in on-line banking costs. Gains on real estate owned increased $0.1 million due to increased sales compared to the prior period.

Non-interest expense was $19.0 million for the first nine months of 2017, an increase of $1.1 million, or 6.2%, from $17.9 million for the same period of 2016. Gains on real estate owned decreased $0.4 million due primarily to a large gain that was realized on a single property that was sold in the first nine month period of 2016. Compensation expense increased $0.3 million due primarily to annual salary increases. Other non-interest expense increased $0.2 million due primarily to an increase in advertising related expenses between the periods. Other professional expenses increased $0.1 million primarily due to increased legal fees. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $0.1 million because of increased software and equipment expenses. These increases in non-interest expenses were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in data processing expenses between the periods related to on-line banking costs.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.2 million from $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2016. Income tax expense was $2.8 million for the first nine months of 2017, a decrease of $0.3 million, from $3.1 million for the same period in 2016. The change in income tax expense between the periods is primarily related to the change in pre-tax income between the periods.

Total non-performing assets were $3.7 million at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 4.5%, from $3.9 million at December 31, 2016. Non-performing loans remained the same and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $0.2 million during the first nine months of 2017.

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, anticipated growth, general business practices and other factors. The Company has not made any dividend payments to common stockholders during the three year period ending September 30, 2017.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the net cash provided by operating activities was $12.0 million. The Company collected $20.1 million from the maturities of securities, $0.6 million from principal repayments on securities, $4.0 million from the redemption of FHLB stock, and $0.3 million in proceeds from the sale of real estate. The Company purchased securities of $20.0 million, FHLB stock of $4.0 million, and premises and equipment of $0.8 million. Net loans receivable also increased $39.0 million. The Company had a net increase in deposit balances of $36.2 million and customer escrows increased $0.8 million. The Company also received $99.2 million in proceeds from borrowings and repaid borrowings of $106.2 million.

The Company has certificates of deposits with outstanding balances of $60.2 million that mature over the next 12 months. Based upon past experience, management anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for another term. The Company believes that cash outflow from certificates that do not renew will be replaced with other deposits or FHLB advances. Federal Reserve Bank borrowings or proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to fund unanticipated outflows of certificates of deposits.

The Company had four deposit customers that individually had aggregate deposits greater than $5.0 million as of September 30, 2017. The $68.1 million in funds held by these customers may be withdrawn at any time, but management believes that the majority of these deposits will not be withdrawn from the Bank over the next twelve months. If these deposits are withdrawn, it is anticipated that they would be replaced with deposits from other customers or FHLB advances. Federal Reserve Bank borrowings or proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to replace unanticipated outflows of large checking and money market deposits.

The Company has the ability to borrow $110.3 million from the FHLB at September 30, 2017, based on the collateral value of the loans pledged. The credit policy of the FHLB relating to the collateral value of the loans collateralizing the available line of credit with the FHLB may change such that the current collateral pledged to secure future advances is no longer acceptable or the formulas for determining the excess pledged collateral may change. The FHLB could also reduce the amount of funds it will lend to the Bank. It is not anticipated that the Bank will need to find alternative funding sources in the next twelve months to replace the available borrowings from the FHLB. However, if needed, excess collateral currently pledged to the FHLB could be pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank and the Bank could borrow additional funds from the Federal Reserve Bank based on the increased collateral levels or obtain additional deposits.

The Company’s primary source of cash is dividends from the Bank. At September 30, 2017, the Company had $1.6 million in cash and other assets that could readily be turned into cash. The primary use of cash by the Company is the payment of operating expenses.

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 Company level expenses, 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. 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 were to raise 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 a price less than the Company’s book value, would dilute the per share book value of the Company’s common stock, and could result in a change in 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.

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 report 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.

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 September 30, 2017.


	Market Value
(Dollars in thousands) Basis point change in interest rates		-100		0		+100			+200
Total market risk sensitive assets	$	717,928		704,692			691,158			676,918
Total market risk sensitive liabilities		621,355		577,911			540,247			507,233
Off-balance sheet financial instruments		(352	)	0			(95	)		(133	)
Net market risk	$	96,925		126,781			151,006			169,818
Percentage change from current market value		(23.55	%)	0.00	%		19.11	%		33.95	%

The preceding table was prepared utilizing a model using 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 2% to 42%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 5% and 48%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities were projected to have prepayments based upon the underlying collateral securing the instrument. Certificate accounts were assumed not to be withdrawn until maturity. Passbook accounts and retail money market accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 18% and 2%, respectively. Retail checking accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 14%. Commercial checking and money market accounts were assumed to decay at annual rates of 30% and 29%, respectively. Callable investments were projected to be called at the first call date where the projected interest rate on similar remaining term instruments is less than the interest rate on the callable advance or investment.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the above 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 which 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 could be different from the values disclosed 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 its net interest income projected for the next twelve months to determine if its current level of interest rate risk is acceptable. The following table projects the estimated annual impact on net interest income during the 12 month period ending September 30, 2017 of immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks.

(Dollars in thousands)
Rate Shock in Basis Points	Projected Change in Net Interest Income			Percentage Change
+200		2,739			10.21	%
+100		1,354			5.05
0		0			0.00
-100		(1,600	)		(5.96	)

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 primarily because there are more adjustable rate loans that would re-price to higher interest rates than there are deposits that would re-price in the next twelve months.

In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management closely monitors interest rate risk. The Bank 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, each quarter the Board reviews 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 composition, the Bank may, at times, depending on the relationship between long-term 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 position 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 single family residential lending program on loans that are saleable to third parties and generally places only adjustable rate or 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 reprice every one, two, or three years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than commitments to originate, fund, and sell loans in the ordinary course of business.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Changes in internal controls. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings arising out of its lending and deposit operations. The Company is, and expects to become, engaged in a number of foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of its collection activities. Based on our current understanding of these pending legal proceedings, management does not believe that judgments or settlements, if any and if determined adversely to the Company, arising from pending legal matters individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Company. Litigation is often unpredictable and the actual results of litigation cannot be determined with any certainty.
