HMN FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

September 30, 2011 and 2010

(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 offices in Minnesota and Iowa. The Bank has one wholly owned subsidiary, Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc. (OIA), which offers financial planning products and services. HMN has another wholly owned subsidiary, Security Finance Corporation (SFC), which is currently not actively engaged in any activities.

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

(2) Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of loss, consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 consolidated statement of loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 is not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.

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

(3) New Accounting Standards

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, which requires significant new disclosures about the allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of financing receivables. The requirements are intended to enhance transparency regarding credit losses and the credit quality of loan and lease receivables. Under this statement, allowance for credit losses and fair value are to be disclosed by portfolio segment, while credit quality information, impaired financing receivables and nonaccrual status are to be presented by class of financing receivable. Disclosure of the nature and extent, the financial impact and segment information of troubled debt restructurings are also required. The disclosures are to be presented at the level of disaggregation that management uses when assessing and monitoring the portfolio’s risk and performance. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods after December 15, 2010 and the related disclosures were included in Note 5 in the Company’s December 31, 2010 notes to the consolidated financial statements and in Note 9 of this quarterly report.

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. The amendment temporarily delayed the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses for public entities.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310), A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. This ASU provides guidance on evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. It indicates that if a creditor separately concludes that a restructuring constitutes a concession and that the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties that the restructuring is a troubled debt restructuring. It also clarifies guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of the above two items. For public entities, such as HMN, the amendments in this ASU are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. In addition, this ASU requires that the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings that were delayed by ASU 2011-01 in January 2011 be disclosed for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The implementation of the guidance in this ASU and the related disclosures are included in Note 9 of this quarterly report.

Table of Contents

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, which prescribes when an entity may or may not recognize a sale upon the transfer of financial assets subject to repurchase agreements. That determination is based, in part, on whether the entity has maintained effective control over the transferred assets. The amendments in this ASU removed from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. Other criteria applicable to the assessment of effective control are not changed by the amendments in this ASU. This ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively to transactions or modification of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2012 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this ASU change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in order to improve consistency in wording between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This ASU is effective for interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2012 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than to change the disclosures relating to fair value measurements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Current U.S. GAAP allows reporting entities three alternatives for presenting other comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. The first two options are to present this information in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The third option, which is used by the Company, is to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. This ASU eliminates the third option and therefore the Company will have to adopt one of the two remaining methods for presentation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2012 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than to change the presentation of other comprehensive income as discussed above.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-09, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Multiemployer Plans (Subtopic 715-80). The amendments in this ASU require additional disclosures about an employer’s participation in a multiemployer plan. For public entities, such as HMN, this ASU is effective for annual periods for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2011 is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements other than the presentation of additional disclosures relating to the one multiemployer retirement plan that is sponsored by the Financial Institutions Retirement Fund (FIRF) that the Company participates in.

(4) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company has commitments outstanding to extend credit to future borrowers that have not closed prior to the end of the quarter. The Company intends to sell these commitments, which are referred to as its mortgage pipeline. As commitments to originate loans enter the mortgage pipeline, the Company generally enters into commitments to sell the mortgage pipeline into the secondary market on a firm commitment or best efforts basis. The commitments to originate, purchase or sell loans on a firm commitment basis are derivatives. As a result of marking to market the mortgage pipeline and the related firm commitments to sell for the period ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded an increase in other assets of $20,000, an increase in other liabilities of $13,000 and a gain included in the gains on sales of loans of $7,000.

Table of Contents

The current commitments to sell loans held for sale are derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, these derivatives are marked to market and the related loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or market. The Company recorded a decrease in other assets of $56,000, an increase in the mark-to-market adjustment for loans held for sale of $56,000, an increase in other liabilities of $50,000, and a loss included in the gain on sales of loans of $50,000.

(5) Fair Value Measurements

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, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3 during the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2011.

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of the lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets or liabilities . For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the third quarter of 2011 that were still held at September 30, 2011, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets and liabilities or portfolios at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

(1) Represents the carrying value and related specific reserves on loans for which adjustments are based on the appraised value of the collateral. The carrying value of loans fully charged-off is zero.
(2) Represents the fair value and related losses of foreclosed real estate and other collateral owned that were measured at fair value subsequent to their initial classification as foreclosed assets.

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Generally accepted accounting principles require 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 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are shown below.

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 at September 30, 2011 related to a single trust preferred security that was issued by the holding company of a small community bank. Typical of most trust preferred issuances, the issuer has the ability to defer interest payments for up to five years with interest payable on the deferred balance. In October 2009, the issuer elected to defer its scheduled interest payments as allowed by the terms of the security agreement. The issuer’s subsidiary bank has incurred operating losses due to increased provisions for loan losses but still meets the regulatory requirements to be considered “adequately capitalized” based on its most recent regulatory filing. Based on information furnished by the issuer, a branch was sold in the third quarter of 2011 which improved its capital position and the bank is now “well capitalized”. In addition, the

Table of Contents

owners of the issuing bank appear to have the ability to make additional capital contributions, if needed, to enhance the bank’s capital position. Based on a review of the issuer, it was determined that the trust preferred security was not other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011. The Company does not intend to sell the preferred stock and has the intent and ability to hold it for a period of time sufficient to recover the temporary loss. Management believes that the Company will receive all principal and interest payments contractually due on the security and that the decrease in the market value is primarily due to a lack of liquidity in the market for trust preferred securities and the deferral of interest by the issuer. 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 non-performing loans and loans that are generally inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, non-accruing loans totaled $38.9 million and $68.1 million, respectively, for which the related allowance for loan losses was $7.8 million and $25.0 million, respectively. The decrease in the related allowances is due primarily because of the charge off of previously established reserves. 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 $15.4 million and $8.1 million, respectively. Non-accrual loans also include certain loans that have had terms modified in a troubled debt restructuring.

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

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (Topic 310), which modified guidance for identifying restructurings of receivables that constitute a TDR. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were loans included in loans receivable, net, with terms that had been modified in a troubled debt restructuring totaling $36.1 million and $19.3 million, respectively. Of the $36.1 million at September 30, 2011 and the $19.3 million at December 31, 2010, $22.9 million and $8.4 million were non-accrual, and $13.2 million and $10.9 million were accruing, respectively.

The following table summarizes troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

There were no material commitments to lend additional funds to customers whose loans were restructured or classified as nonaccrual at September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

TDR concessions can include reduction of interest rates, extension of maturity dates, forgiveness of principal and’ or interest due, or acceptance of real estate or other assets in full or partial satisfaction of the debt. Loan modifications are not reported as TDR’s 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 TDR’s 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 TDR’s are presented in the following table and represent the difference between the outstanding recorded balance pre-modification and post-modification, for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2011.

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

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

TDR’s 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 as needed. Loans that are not collateral dependent may have additional reserves established if deemed necessary. The allowance for loan losses on TDR’s was $6.3 million, or 24.5%, of the total $25.7 million in loan loss reserves at September 30, 2011 and $1.9 million, or 4.4%, of the total $42.8 million in loan loss reserves at December 31, 2010.

(12) Regulatory Capital and Regulatory Oversight

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of Tier I or Core capital and Risk-based capital (as defined in the regulations) to total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 2011, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

Management believes that based upon the Bank’s capital calculations at September 30, 2011 and other conditions consistent with the Prompt Corrective Actions Provisions regulations, the Bank would be categorized as well capitalized.

The Bank entered into a written Supervisory Agreement with its primary federal banking regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), effective February 22, 2011 that primarily relates to the Bank’s financial performance and credit quality issues. This agreement replaced the prior memorandum of understanding that the Bank entered into with the OTS on December 9, 2009. In accordance with the Supervisory Agreement, the Bank submitted a two year business plan that the OCC (as successor to the OTS) has accepted with the expectation that the Bank will be in adherence with the OCC’s Notification of Establishment of Higher Minimum Capital Ratios, dated August 8, 2011, which requires a minimum core capital ratio of 8.5% by December 31, 2011. The Bank must operate within the parameters of the final business plan and is required to monitor and submit periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. The Bank also submitted a problem asset reduction plan that the OCC has accepted. The Bank must operate within the parameters of the final problem asset plan and is required to monitor and submit periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. The Bank has also revised its loan modification policies and its program for identifying, monitoring and controlling risk associated with concentrations of credit, and improved the

documentation relating to the allowance for loan and lease losses as required by the agreement. In addition, without the consent of the OCC, the Bank may not declare or pay any cash dividends, materially increase the total assets of the Bank, enter into any new contractual arrangement or renew or extend any existing arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any directors or officer, make any golden parachute payments, or enter into any significant contracts with a third party service provider.

The Company also entered into a written Supervisory Agreement with the OTS effective February 22, 2011. This agreement replaced the prior memorandum of understanding that the Company entered into with the OTS on December 9, 2009. In accordance with the Supervisory Agreement, the Company submitted a capital plan to the OTS through December 31, 2012 that the Federal Reserve Board (as successor to the OTS) may make comments upon, and to which it may require revisions. The Company must operate within the parameters of the final capital plan and is required to monitor and submit periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. In addition, without the consent of the Federal Reserve, the Company may not incur or issue any debt, guarantee the debt of any entity, declare or pay any cash dividends or repurchase any of the Company’s capital stock, enter into any new contractual arrangement or renew or extend any existing arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any directors or officer, or make any golden parachute payments.

The OCC has established an individual minimum capital requirement (IMCR) for the Bank. An IMCR requires a bank to establish and maintain levels of capital greater than those generally required for a bank to be classified as “well-capitalized.” Effective December 31, 2011, the Bank will be required to establish, and subsequently maintain, core capital at least equal to 8.5% of adjusted total assets, which is in excess of the Bank’s 7.79% core capital to adjusted total assets ratio at September 30, 2011 and in excess of the corresponding capital ratio in the Bank’s current forecast. In order to improve its capital ratios, the Bank is, among other things, working to improve its financial results and reduce non-performing assets, decreasing the asset size of the Bank and evaluating the disposition of non-strategic assets. These actions may result in changes in the Bank’s assets, liabilities and earnings, some of which may be material, during the period in which the action is taken or is consummated or over a longer period of time. If the Bank fails to comply with the terms of the IMCR, it could be subject to further limits on growth and may be deemed to be operating in an unsafe and unsound condition, subjecting it to such legal actions or sanctions as the OCC considers appropriate.

References to the OTS shall mean, with respect to the Company, beginning July 21, 2011, the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and mean, with respect to the Bank, beginning July 21, 2011, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). On July 21, 2011, the OTS was integrated into the OCC and the primary banking regulator for the Company became the FRB. It is not anticipated that the change in primary regulators as a result of the OTS being abolished will have any significant impact on the Company, the Bank, or our shareholders.

(13) Other Assets and Deposits Held for Sale

The Bank entered into a definitive purchase and assumption agreement on November 7, 2011 with Pinnacle Bank (Pinnacle) of Marshalltown, Iowa which provides for the sale to Pinnacle of substantially all of the assets associated with the Toledo, Iowa branch (the Branch) of the Bank and the assumption by Pinnacle of all deposit liabilities of the Branch. The Bank will continue to own and operate its other Iowa and Minnesota branches. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and scheduling of the required Branch data processing conversion. Subject to the foregoing and other customary terms and conditions, the transaction is anticipated to be consummated in the first quarter of 2012. The Bank anticipates that the transaction will be funded with available assets, the sale will result in a one time gain on sale in the first quarter of 2012, and the sale will result in a decrease in the Bank’s overall asset of approximately $43 million.

(14) Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank issued standby letters of credit which guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. The standby letters of credit issued and available at September 30, 2011 were approximately $2.3 million, expire over the next two years, and are collateralized primarily with commercial business assets. 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.

(15) Business Segments

The Bank has been identified as a reportable operating segment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 280. SFC and HMN did not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments and therefore are 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.

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, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) 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-

Table of Contents

bearing liabilities and there is a positive interest rate spread. Net interest income and net interest rate spread are affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the level of non-performing assets. The Company’s net income is also affected by the generation of non-interest income, which consists primarily of gains or losses from the sale of securities, gains from the sale of loans, fees for servicing mortgage loans, and the generation of fees and service charges on deposit accounts. The Bank incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in the form of salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses, provisions for loan losses and amortization of mortgage servicing assets. For several years prior to the onset of the recent recession, the Company had increased the emphasis on commercial and commercial real estate loans, which has increased the credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio. While the Company did not originate or hold subprime mortgages in its loan portfolio, purchase investments backed by subprime mortgages, or incur any write downs directly related to subprime mortgages, subprime credit issues indirectly impacted the Company by making it more difficult for some borrowers with marginal credit to qualify for a mortgage because most of the non-traditional mortgage products were eliminated by the banks and mortgage companies that were previously offering them. This decrease in available credit reduced the demand for single family homes as there were fewer qualified buyers in the marketplace. For qualified buyers, the demand for new homes and building lots has been limited, in part, because of the abundance of foreclosed homes that are for sale. The decrease in demand for housing and building lots affected our level of loan charge offs and the risk ratings on many of our residential development loans. Consequently, our provision for loan losses significantly increased relative to periods before the current economic slowdown. The increase in the provision was due primarily to commercial loan charge offs and risk rating downgrades caused by continued weak demand for housing and building and general economic weakness in our markets. In addition, our losses on loans and other real estate owned increased due to the declining value of the real estate.

The earnings of financial institutions, such as the Bank, are 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 levels of personal income and savings.

Critical Accounting Policies

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. The Company has identified the following policies as being critical because they require 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. In this analysis, management considers factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences of loan impairment, changes in the size of the portfolios, national and regional economic conditions such as unemployment data, loan portfolio composition, loan delinquencies, local construction permits, development plans, local economic growth rates, historical 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 components of its overall methodology 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 of 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 specific reserves.

Table of Contents

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 frequent adjustments due to changing economic prospects of borrowers or properties. 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. 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 probable losses in the loan portfolio for which specific reserves are not required. 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 date, 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 liabilities.

The Company maintains significant net deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, the largest of which relates to the allowance for loan and real estate losses and net operating loss carry forwards. For income tax purposes, only net charge-offs and certain specific reserves 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 ability to realize deferred tax assets. Positive evidence includes the ability to implement tax planning strategies to accelerate taxable income recognition and the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods. Negative evidence includes the Company’s cumulative loss in the prior three year period, current financial performance, and the general business and economic trends. At September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset balance. This determination was based primarily upon the existence of a three year cumulative loss position that is primarily attributable to significant provisions for loan losses incurred during the last three years. The creation of the valuation allowance, although it increased tax expense and similarly reduced tangible book value, does not have an effect on the Company’s cash flows, and may be recoverable in subsequent periods if the Company were to realize certain sustained future taxable income. It is possible that future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and adjustments may be required in the future.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2010

Net Loss

The net loss was $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2011, an improvement of $7.3 million compared to a net loss of $9.4 million for the third quarter of 2010. Net loss available to common shareholders was $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, an improvement of $7.3 million, or 74.4%, from the net loss available to common shareholders of $9.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. Diluted loss per common share for the third quarter of 2011 was $0.65, a decreased loss of $1.95, or 75.0%, from the diluted loss per common share of $2.60 for the third quarter of 2010. The decreased loss for the third quarter of 2011 is due primarily to a $7.6 million decrease in the provision for loan losses between the periods. The provision for loan losses decreased primarily because fewer loan loss reserves on commercial real estate loans were needed due to the stabilization of values of non-performing real estate in the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the third quarter of 2010. The provision also decreased because of the $117 million decrease in the loan portfolio between the periods.

The net loss was $3.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, an improvement of $15.1 million, from the $19.0 million loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. The net loss available to common shareholders was $5.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, an improvement of $15.1 million, from the net loss available to common shareholders of $20.4 million for the same period of 2010. Diluted loss per common share for the nine month period in 2011 was $1.38, an improvement of $4.05, from the diluted loss per common share of $5.43 for the same period in 2010. The decreased loss for the first nine months of 2011 is due primarily to a $13.2 million decrease in the provision for loan losses between the periods and also because of a $5.8 million decrease in the provision for income taxes between the periods due to a deferred tax asset valuation reserve that was established during the second quarter of 2010. The provision decreased primarily because fewer loan loss reserves on commercial real estate loans were needed due to the stabilization of values of non-performing real estate in the first nine months of 2011 when compared to the same nine-month period of 2010. The provision also decreased because of the $117 million decrease in the loan portfolio between the periods. These decreases in expense were partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in net interest income due primarily to the decrease in interest-earning assets between the periods and a $1.4 million increase in other expenses and losses related to other real estate owned.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 8.9%, compared to $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. Interest income was $9.6 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 20.0%, from $12.0 million for the same period in 2010. Interest income decreased between the periods primarily because of a $156 million decrease in the average interest-earning assets and also because of a decrease in the average yields between the periods. Average interest earning assets decreased between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the commercial loan portfolio, which occurred because of declining loan demand and the Company’s focus on improving credit quality, managing net interest margin and improving capital ratios. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 5.01% for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of 18 basis points from the 5.19% average yield for the third quarter of 2010. The decrease in yield is the result of the lower interest rate environment that existed during the third quarter of 2011.

Interest expense was $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 40.6%, compared to $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. Interest expense decreased primarily because of the $133 million decrease in the average interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. The decrease in the average interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a decrease in outstanding borrowings and brokered deposits between the periods. The decrease in borrowings and brokered deposits between the periods was the result of using the proceeds from loan principal payments to fund maturing borrowings and brokered deposits. Interest expense also decreased because of the lower rates paid on retail money market accounts and certificates of deposits. The decreased rates were the result of the lower interest rate environment that existed during the third quarter of 2011. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.36% for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of 57 basis points from the 1.93% average interest rate paid in the third quarter of 2010.

Table of Contents

Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the third quarter of 2011 was 3.71%, an increase of 34 basis points, compared to 3.37% for the third quarter of 2010. Net interest margin improved between the periods primarily because the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased more than the yield on interest earning assets. The decrease in the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a change in the mix of deposits as lower rate deposits were held during the first nine months of 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. The change in the liability mix is primarily the result of a decrease in brokered deposits and advances which is anticipated to continue.

Net interest income was $21.5 million for the first nine months of 2011, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 9.3%, from $23.7 million for the same period in 2010. Interest income was $30.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $7.1 million, or 19.0%, from $37.4 million for the same period in 2010. Interest income decreased between the periods primarily because of a $149 million decrease in the average interest-earning assets and also because of a decrease in the average yields between the periods. Average interest earning assets decreased between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the commercial loan portfolio, which occurred because of declining loan demand and the Company’s focus on improving credit quality, managing net interest margin and improving capital ratios. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 5.08% for the nine-month period of 2011, a decrease of 20 basis points from the 5.28% average yield for the nine-month period of 2010. The decrease in yield is the result of the lower interest rate environment that existed during the first nine months of 2011.

Interest expense was $8.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $4.9 million, or 35.8%, from $13.7 million for the same period in 2010. Interest expense decreased primarily because of a $129 million decrease in the average interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a decrease in the average outstanding brokered deposits between the periods. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.54% for the nine-month period of 2011, a decrease of 51 basis points from the 2.05% average rate paid for the same nine-month period of 2010.

Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) was 3.60% for the nine-month period of 2011, an increase of 25 basis points from the 3.35% margin for the same nine-month period of 2010. Net interest margin improved between the periods primarily because the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased more than the yield on interest earning assets. The decrease in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a change in the mix of deposits as lower rate deposits were held during the first nine months of 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. The change in the liability mix is primarily the result of a decrease in brokered deposits and advances which is anticipated to continue.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $7.6 million, compared to $11.9 million for the third quarter of 2010. The provision decreased primarily because fewer loan loss reserves on commercial real estate loans were needed due to the stabilization of values of non-performing real estate in the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the third quarter of 2010. The provision also decreased because of the $117 million decrease in the loan portfolio between the periods.

The provision for loan losses was $9.7 million for the first nine months of 2011, a decrease of $13.2 million, from $22.8 million for the same nine-month period in 2010. The provision decreased primarily because fewer loan loss reserves on commercial real estate loans were needed due to the stabilization of values of non-performing real estate in the first nine months of 2011 when compared to the same nine-month period of 2010. The provision also decreased because of the $117 million decrease in the loan portfolio between the periods.

A reconciliation of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 is summarized as follows:

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 19.7%, from $1.9 million for the same period in 2010. Gains on sales of loans decreased $363,000 between the periods as a result of a decrease in single family loan originations. Loan servicing fees decreased $17,000 between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the number of commercial loans that are being serviced for others.

Non-interest income was $4.9 million for the first nine months of 2011, a decrease of $353,000, or 6.7%, from $5.2 million for the same period in 2010. Gains on sales of loans decreased $348,000 between the periods as a result of a decrease in single family loan originations. Loan servicing fees decreased $59,000 between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the number of commercial loans that are being serviced for others. Other non-interest income decreased $39,000 due primarily to a decrease in rental income on other real estate owned due to the sale of some properties that were being rented. Fees and service charges increased $93,000 between the periods primarily because of increases in debit card income and service charges.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 8.5%, from $7.0 million for the same period of 2010. Loss on real estate owned decreased $273,000 in the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. Deposit insurance expense decreased $268,000 between the periods primarily because of a change in the FDIC’s insurance cost structure and also because of a decrease in brokered deposits between the periods. Occupancy expense decreased $125,000 primarily because of a decrease in depreciation expense. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $80,000 between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the compensation paid as a result of having fewer employees and fewer loan originations in the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. Other non-interest expenses increased $120,000 primarily because of an increase in the costs related to other real estate owned. Data processing expense increased $34,000 due to increased software maintenance costs.

Non-interest expense was $20.7 million for the first nine months of 2011, an increase of $1.4 million, or 7.0%, from $19.3 million for the same period in 2010. Other non-interest expense increased $1.4 million, because of increased real estate taxes and legal fees related to other real estate owned. Non-interest expense also increased $645,000 between the periods because of a $301,000 loss recognized on real estate owned in the first nine months of 2011 compared to a $344,000 gain recognized on real estate owned in the first nine months of 2010. Compensation and benefits expense increased $132,000 between the periods primarily because of an increase in health insurance costs between the periods. Deposit insurance expense decreased $493,000 between the periods primarily because of a change in the FDIC’s insurance cost structure and also because of a decrease in brokered deposits between the periods. Occupancy expense decreased $335,000 primarily because of a decrease in depreciation expense. Data processing expense increased $18,000 due to increased software maintenance costs.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $0 for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of $97,000 from $97,000 in income tax expense for the same period of 2010. Income tax expense was $0 for the first nine months of 2011, a decrease of $5.8 million from $5.8 million in income tax expense for the first nine months of 2010. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset valuation reserve against its entire deferred tax asset balance and the Company continued to maintain a valuation reserve against the entire deferred tax asset balance at September 30, 2011. Since the valuation reserve is established against the entire deferred tax asset balance, no income tax expense was recorded for the third quarter or the first nine months of 2011.

Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders

The net loss available to common shareholders was $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, a decreased loss of $7.3 million from the $9.8 million net loss available to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2010. The net loss available to common shareholders was $5.3 million for the first nine months of 2011, a decreased loss of $15.1 million from the $20.4 million net loss available to common shareholders in the first nine months of 2010. The net loss available to common shareholders decreased primarily because of the change in the net loss between the periods. The Company deferred the February 15, 2011, May 15, 2011, August 15, 2011 cash dividend payments and has determined that it will defer the November 15, 2011 dividend payment on its Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A issued to the United States Treasury Department as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The deferred dividend payments have been accrued for payment in the future and are being reported for the deferral period as a preferred dividend requirement that is deducted from the net loss for financial statement purposes to arrive at the net loss available to common shareholders.

The Company had specific reserves established against the above commercial business loans of $2.8 million, $3.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

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 its regulatory capital requirements, tax considerations, industry standards, economic conditions, regulatory restrictions, general business practices and other factors. Under the Bank Supervisory Agreement, no dividends can be declared or paid by the Bank to the Company without prior regulatory approval. The payment of dividends by the Company is dependent upon the Company having adequate cash or other assets that can be converted to cash to pay dividends to its stockholders and, under the Company Supervisory Agreement, the Company may not declare or pay any cash dividends, or purchase or redeem any capital stock, without prior notice to, and consent of, its primary banking regulator (FRB). The Company suspended the dividend payments to common stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the net operating losses experienced and the challenging economic environment. The Company deferred the February 15, 2011, May 15,

2011, and August 15, 2011 regular quarterly preferred stock cash dividends and has determined that it will defer the November 15, 2011 regular quarterly cash dividend on the preferred stock issued to the United States Treasury Department as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the net cash provided by operating activities was $12.2 million. The Company collected $132.0 million from the maturities of securities, $9.6 million from principal repayments on securities, $3.4 million from the sales of real estate and $2.5 million from the redemption of FHLB stock. It purchased securities available for sale of $134.1 million, premises and equipment of $0.2 million and sold $17,000 of FHLB stock. Net loans receivable decreased $50.7 million due primarily to a decrease in commercial loan originations and prepayments on single-family mortgage loans. The Company had a net decrease in deposit balances of $7.0 million, received $10.0 million and repaid $62.5 million in FHLB advances. The Company did not purchase any common stock or pay any preferred stock dividends to the U.S. Treasury.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $196.3 million that become due 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 deposits that do not renew will be replaced with deposits from other customers. FHLB/FRB advances or proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to replace unanticipated outflows of deposits.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had deposits of $77.8 million in checking and money market accounts with customers that have individual balances greater than $5.0 million. These funds may be withdrawn at any time, and management anticipates that $58.0 million of these deposits will be withdrawn from the Bank or sold over the next twelve months. The Company expects that some of these deposits will not be replaced but that those that are will be replaced primarily with internet deposits or advances from the FHLB or FRB. Management anticipates that the majority of the remaining large checking and money market accounts will remain on deposit with the Bank. If these deposits were to be withdrawn, the Company expects they would be replaced with deposits from other customers. Advances from the FHLB or the FRB, or proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to replace unanticipated outflows of large checking and money market deposits.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had $70.0 million of FHLB advances which mature beyond September 30, 2012 but have call features that can be exercised by the FHLB during the next twelve months. As the advances mature or if the call features are exercised, the Company has the option of requesting any advance otherwise available to it pursuant to the credit policy of the FHLB.

At September 30, 2011, the Bank had the ability to draw additional borrowings from the FHLB of $67.8 million based upon the mortgage loans pledged, subject to a requirement to purchase additional FHLB stock and the FHLB’s approval at time of request. The Bank also had the ability to draw additional borrowings of $62.8 million from the FRB based upon the loans pledged with it. In addition, the Bank maintained $68.1 million in unpledged securities that could be used to fund any short-term cash needs. Management continues to believe that the Bank’s liquidity levels are adequate.

The primary source of cash for HMN is dividends from the Bank and the Bank is restricted under the Bank Supervisory Agreement from paying dividends to the Company without obtaining prior regulatory approval. At September 30, 2011, HMN had $1.5 million in cash and other assets that could readily be turned into cash. The primary use of cash by HMN is the payment of expenses and dividends on the preferred stock issued to the United States Treasury Department as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program. The amount of the dividend on the preferred stock accumulates at the rate of $325,000 per quarter through February 14, 2014 and $585,000 per quarter thereafter, if the shares of preferred stock are not redeemed. If the accumulated dividends on the preferred stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly dividend periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the number of directors of the Company automatically will be increased by two, and the holders of the preferred shares (currently the United States Treasury) will have the right to elect two directors to fill the newly created directorships. The Company deferred the February 15, 2011, May 15, 2011, and August 15, 2011 dividend payment and has determined that it will defer the November 15, 2011 payment.

The OCC has established an individual minimum capital requirement (IMCR) for the Bank. An IMCR requires a bank to establish and maintain levels of capital greater than those generally required for a bank to be classified as “well-capitalized.” Effective December 31, 2011, the Bank will be required to establish, and subsequently maintain, core capital at least equal to 8.5% of adjusted total assets, which is in excess of the Bank’s 7.79% core capital to adjusted total assets ratio at September 30, 2011 and in excess of the corresponding capital ratio in our current forecast. In order to improve its capital ratios, the Bank is, among other things, working to improve its financial results and reduce non-performing assets, decreasing the asset size of the Bank and evaluating the disposition of non-strategic assets. These actions may result in changes in our assets, liabilities and earnings, some of which may be material, during the period in which the action is taken or is consummated or over a longer period of time. If the Bank fails to comply with the terms of the IMCR, it could be subject to further limits on growth and may be deemed to be operating in an unsafe and unsound condition, subjecting it to such legal actions or sanctions as the OCC considers appropriate.

The Bank entered into a definitive purchase and assumption agreement on November 7, 2011 with Pinnacle Bank (Pinnacle) of Marshalltown, Iowa which provides for the sale to Pinnacle of substantially all of the assets associated with the Toledo, Iowa branch (the Branch) of the Bank (approximately $1.5 million at September 30, 2011) and the assumption by Pinnacle of all deposit liabilities of the Branch (approximately $45.8 million at September 30, 2011). The Bank will continue to own and operate its other Iowa and Minnesota branches. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and scheduling of the required Branch data processing conversion. Subject to the foregoing and other customary terms and conditions, the transaction is anticipated to be consummated in the first quarter of 2012. The Bank anticipates that the transaction will be funded with available assets, the sale will result in a one time gain on sale in the first quarter of 2012, and the sale will result in a decrease in the Bank’s overall assets of approximately $43 million.

HMN also serves as a source of capital, liquidity and financial support to the Bank. Based on the operating performance of the Bank or other capital demands, including the outstanding IMCR, HMN may need to raise additional capital. If HMN raises capital through the issuance of additional shares of common stock or other equity securities, it would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders and, given our current common stock trading price, would be expected to dilute the per share book value of the Company’s common stock and could result in a change of control of the Company and the Bank. New investors may also have rights, preferences and privileges senior to the Company’s current stockholders, which may adversely impact the Company’s current stockholders. HMN’s ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of its control, and on the Company’s financial performance. Accordingly, HMN may not be able to raise additional capital, if needed, on favorable economic terms, or other terms acceptable to it. If HMN or the Bank cannot satisfactorily address their respective capital needs as they arise, the Company’s ability to maintain or expand its operations, their ability to meet the Company’s capital plan and the Bank IMCR, operate without additional regulatory or other restrictions, and its operating results, could be materially adversely affected.

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 due to 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, 2011.

The preceding table was prepared utilizing the following assumptions (Model Assumptions) regarding prepayment and decay ratios, which 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 8% to 71%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 13% and 34%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Growing Equity Mortgage (GEM) loans were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 10% and 46% depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) were projected to have prepayments based upon the underlying collateral securing the instrument and the related cash flow priority of the CMO tranche owned. Certificate accounts were assumed not to be withdrawn until maturity. Passbook accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 20%, money market accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 25%, non-interest checking was assumed to decay at an annual rate of 17% and NOW accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 17%. Commercial non-interest checking was assumed to decay at an annual rate of 17%, commercial NOW accounts and money market accounts were assumed to decay at annual rates of 17% and 25%, respectively. FHLB advances were projected to be called at the first call date where the projected interest rate on similar remaining term advances exceeded the interest rate on the Company’s callable advance.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the preceding 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 which are approaching their lifetime interest rate caps could be different from the values disclosed in the table. 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 decrease in the event of a substantial sustained interest rate increase.

Asset/Liability Management

The Company’s management reviews the impact that changing interest rates will have on its net interest income projected for the twelve months following September 30, 2011 to determine if its current level of interest rate risk is acceptable. The following table projects the estimated annual impact on net interest income of immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks.

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 more loans than deposits are scheduled to reprice in the next twelve months.

Table of Contents

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 (Committee) which 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, which are reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Bank (Board). This Committee also reviews the Bank’s portfolio, formulates investment strategies and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Board’s objectives in the most 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 mix, the Bank, depending on the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, may 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 structure its balance sheet in order to better match the maturities of its assets and liabilities. The Bank has primarily focused its fixed rate one-to-four family residential lending program on loans that are saleable to third parties and generally places only those fixed rate loans that meet certain risk characteristics into its loan portfolio. The Bank’s commercial loan production has primarily been in adjustable rate loans while the fixed rate commercial loans placed in the portfolio have been shorter-term loans, usually with maturities of five years or less, in order to manage the Company’s interest rate risk exposure.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer, 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 (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 controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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. Litigation is often unpredictable and the actual results of litigation cannot be determined with any certainty.

The Company entered into a written Supervisory Agreement with the OTS effective February 22, 2011. The Supervisory Agreement replaced the prior memorandum of understanding that the Company entered into with the OTS on December 9, 2009. The material requirements of the Company Supervisory Agreement are as follows:

 

   

Submission of a written plan by May 31, 2011 for enhancing the consolidated capital of the Company for the period ending December 31, 2012 and review of performance no less than quarterly along with reports to the FRB (as successor to the OTS’ role as regulator of the Company) within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The plan submitted by the Company prior to May 31, 2011 focuses on improvement in capital levels primarily through improved earnings, reduction in non-performing assets and reduction in total assets.

 

   

The Company may not declare, make or pay any cash dividends or repurchase or redeem any of the Company’s equity stock without providing advance notice to the FRB and receiving written non-objection.

 

   

The Company may not incur, issue, renew, rollover or pay interest or principal on any debt or commit to do so nor may it increase any current lines of credit or guarantee the debt of any entity without prior written notice and written non-objection of the FRB.

 

   

Limits were placed on contractual arrangements related to compensation or benefits with any directors or officers and the Company is prevented from making any golden parachute payments to officers, directors or employees.

The Bank also entered into a written Supervisory Agreement with the OTS, effective February 22, 2011. The Bank Supervisory Agreement replaced the prior memorandum of understanding that the Bank entered into with the OTS on December 9, 2009. The material requirements of the Bank Supervisory Agreement are as follows:

 

   

Submission of a business plan by May 31, 2011, addressing strategies for supporting the Bank’s risk profile, improving earnings and profitability and stress testing. The Bank’s Board is to review performance no less than quarterly and report to the OCC (as successor to the OTS’s role as regulator of the Bank) within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The plan submitted by the Bank prior to May 31, 2011 focuses on improvement in capital levels primarily through improved earnings, reduction in non-performing assets and reduction in total assets. The OCC accepted the submitted plan with the expectation that the Bank will be in adherence with the OCC’s Notification of Establishment of Higher Minimum Capital Ratios, dated August 8, 2011, requiring a minimum core capital ratio of 8.5% by December 31, 2011.

 

   

Submission of a detailed written plan prior to March 31, 2011 to reduce the Bank’s problem assets. The plan submitted by the Bank by March 31, 2011 was accepted by the OCC and focuses on improvement in the level of problem assets as a result of continuing the actions taken in 2010 and early 2011 by the Board and management to improve credit quality and more effectively identify and manage problem loans in a proactive manner.

Table of Contents
   

Development of individual written specific workout plans for certain large adversely classified loans or groups of loans and for foreclosed real estate owned by the Bank within 30 days of the Supervisory Agreement effective date. The plans developed by the Bank focused on improving the ultimate collection of these items by improving the Bank’s collateral position or by an orderly liquidation of the collateral securing the assets.

 

   

Beginning with the quarter ending June 30, 2011, the Bank is to submit quarterly asset reports to the OCC within 50 days of quarter end. The reports submitted by the Bank focused on status of workout plans, classified assets, actions taken to reduce problem assets and recommended revisions to the problem asset plan.

 

   

Development by April 30, 2011 of a loan modification policy. The policy developed by the Bank focuses on enhanced supporting documentation and procedures relating to all loan restructurings, including those not determined to be Troubled Debt Restructurings.

 

   

Revision of the Bank’s written credit concentration program and submission of the program by May 6, 2011 to the OTS. The plan addresses identifying, monitoring and controlling risk associated with concentrations of credit. The Bank has implemented the revisions and is monitoring the resulting information.

 

   

Improvement of the documentation relating to the allowance for loan and lease losses to ensure that it addressed OTS concerns. The documentation improvements related primarily to the inclusion of established specific reserves into the commercial loan migration charge-off analysis.

 

   

The Bank may not declare or pay any dividends or make any other capital distributions without providing advance request to the OCC and receiving written approval. The Supervisory Agreement also limits the Bank’s growth in total assets in excess of specified amounts without prior regulatory approval. The Bank’s assets grew in excess of the allowable amount in the third quarter of 2011; however, the Bank obtained prior approval from the OCC.

 

   

Limits are placed on contractual arrangements with third parties and contracts dealing with compensation or benefits with any directors or officers and the Bank is prevented from making any golden parachute payments to directors, officers and employees.

The Company and Bank timely submitted all plans and programs required by the Supervisory Agreements and the Company believes that it and the Bank are in compliance with all provisions of the Supervisory Agreements. The applicable regulator may comment on and require revision of any submitted plan, program or policy. Neither the Company nor the Bank have taken any actions, or sought approval for such actions, where prior regulatory approval is required by the Supervisory Agreements other than the restriction related to asset growth and changes to the business plan. In the third quarter of 2011, the Bank requested and obtained a non-objection waiver from the OCC related to the unanticipated growth in assets during the third quarter in an amount greater than the net interest credited on deposit liabilities during the prior quarter. The Bank also received no supervisory objection to the change in the previously submitted business plan as a result of the increase in assets. The increase in assets was due to unanticipated increases in commercial deposits during the third quarter as a result of increased cash being held by a few of the Bank’s commercial deposit customers.

Violations of these Supervisory Agreements may lead to more rigorous enforcement action, which could include civil money penalties, a cease and desist order or removal actions against officers and directors.

The foregoing is merely a summary of the material terms of the Supervisory Agreements and reference is made to the full text of the Supervisory Agreements which are set forth as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 10, 2011.

Dissolution of the OTS is not expected to have any material impact on the Supervisory Agreements as the Supervisory Agreements will now be enforced by the FRB in the case of the Company’s Supervisory Agreement and the OCC in the case of the Bank’s Supervisory Agreement.

The OCC has established an IMCR for the Bank. An IMCR requires a bank to establish and maintain levels of capital greater than those generally required for a bank to be classified as “well-capitalized.” Effective December 31, 2011, the Bank will be required to establish, and subsequently maintain, core capital at least equal to 8.5% of adjusted total assets, which is in excess of the Bank’s 7.79% core capital to adjusted total assets ratio at September 30, 2011 and in excess of the corresponding capital ratio in our current forecast. For additional information on the Bank’s IMCR, see Part I, Item 2, “Liquidity and Capital Resources” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 19, 2011.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company and the Bank are subject to the restrictions and conditions of the Supervisory Agreements and IMCR with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Reserve Board (FRB). Failure to comply with the Supervisory Agreements and IMCR could result in enforcement actions against us, including the imposition of monetary penalties.

The Company and the Bank each entered into Supervisory Agreements effective February 22, 2011 with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) (predecessor prior to July 21, 2011 to the OCC, the Bank’s primary banking regulator, and to the FRB, the Company’s primary banking regulator). The Supervisory Agreements supersede the memoranda of understanding between the Company and the Bank and the OTS dated December 9, 2009. In accordance with the Company’s Supervisory Agreement, we submitted a two year capital plan by May 31, 2011 to the OTS upon which the FRB may make comments, and to which the FRB may require revisions. We must operate within the parameters of the final capital plan and are required to monitor and submit periodic reports on our compliance with the plan. Also under the Company’s Supervisory Agreement, without the consent of the FRB, we may not incur or issue any debt, guarantee the debt of any entity, declare or pay any cash dividends or repurchase any of our capital stock, enter into any new contractual arrangement or renew or extend any existing arrangement relating to compensation or benefits with any director or executive officer, or make any golden parachute payments.

The Bank’s Supervisory Agreement primarily relates to the Bank’s financial performance and credit quality issues. In accordance with the Bank’s Supervisory Agreement, the Bank submitted a two year business plan and the OCC accepted the plan with the expectation that the Bank will meet the capital requirements in connection with the IMCR described below. The Bank must operate within the parameters of the final business plan and is required to monitor and submit periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. The Bank also submitted a problem asset reduction plan that the OCC accepted. The Bank must operate within the parameters of the final problem asset plan and is required to monitor and submit periodic reports on its compliance with the plan. The Bank also revised its loan modification policies and their programs for identifying, monitoring and controlling risk associated with concentrations of credit and improve its documentation of the allowance for loan and lease losses. In addition, without the consent of the OCC, the Bank may not declare or pay any cash dividends, materially increase the total assets of the Bank, enter into any new contractual arrangement or renew or extend any existing arrangement related to compensation or benefits with any directors or officer, make any golden parachute payments, or enter into any significant contracts with a third party service provider. If the Company or the Bank fails to comply with the terms of their respective agreements, the OCC or the FRB, as applicable, could take enforcement action against us, including the imposition of monetary penalties or the issuance of a cease and desist order requiring corrective action.

In addition, the OCC has established an individual minimum capital requirement (IMCR) for the Bank of a core capital to adjusted total assets ratio of 8.5% commencing December 31, 2011, which is in excess of the Bank’s core capital to adjusted total assets ratio at September 30, 2011 of 7.79% and in excess of the corresponding capital ratio in our current forecast. An IMCR requires a bank to establish and maintain levels of capital greater than those generally required for a bank to be classified as “well-capitalized.” If the Bank fails to comply with the terms of the IMCR, it could be subject to further limits on growth and may be deemed to be operating in an unsafe and unsound condition, subjecting it to such legal actions or sanctions as the OCC considers appropriate.

We have taken a number of steps, and may be required to take additional steps, to meet our capital needs. These actions are expected to reduce our base of earning assets and core deposits and may dilute our shareholders or result in a change of control of the Company or the Bank. There can be no assurance that we will satisfactorily meet our required capital needs.

We are required by federal regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. Based on operating performance, regulatory requirements or other capital demands, we need to raise our core capital ratio. Pursuant to the Company’s Supervisory Agreement, the Company submitted a capital plan prior to May 31, 2011 for approval by the OTS. The capital plan must include a proposed minimum tangible equity capital ratio commensurate with the Company’s consolidated risk profile and projections demonstrating the Company’s ability to attain and maintain such ratio. The OCC also has established an individual minimum capital requirement (IMCR) for the Bank of core capital to adjusted total assets of 8.5% commencing December 31, 2011, which is in excess of the Bank’s core capital to adjusted total assets ratio of 7.79% at September 30, 2011 and in excess of the corresponding capital ratio in our current forecast. An IMCR requires a bank to establish and maintain levels of capital greater than those generally required for a bank to be classified as “well capitalized”.

In order to meet our capital needs, we have significantly reduced our asset size. From September 30, 2010 to September 30, 2011, our assets decreased from $89 million, from $907 million to $818 million. We anticipate this strategic direction to continue throughout 2012. This reduction in assets decreases our ability to earn net interest income, our primary source of income. Additionally, the Bank is, among other things, working to improve its financial results and reduce the level of non-performing assets and evaluating the disposition of non-strategic assets. These actions may also result in changes in our assets, liabilities and earnings, some of which may be material, during the period in which the action is taken or is consummated or over a longer period of time.

As part of its evaluation of disposition of non-strategic assets, the Bank entered into a definitive purchase and assumption agreement on November 7, 2011 with Pinnacle Bank (Pinnacle) of Marshalltown, Iowa which provides for the sale to Pinnacle of substantially all of the assets associated with the Toledo, Iowa branch (the Branch) of the Bank and the assumption by Pinnacle of all deposit liabilities of the Branch. The Bank will continue to own and operate its other Iowa and Minnesota branches. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and scheduling of the required Branch data processing conversion. Subject to the foregoing and other customary terms and conditions, the transaction is anticipated to be consummated in the first quarter of 2012. The Bank anticipates that the transaction will be funded with available assets, the sale will result in a one time gain on sale in the first quarter of 2012, and the sale will result in a decrease in the Bank’s overall assets of approximately $43 million.

We may also find it necessary to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities. This would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders and, given our current common stock trading price, would be expected to dilute the per share book value of our 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 our current stockholders which may adversely impact our current stockholders. Our ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we may not be able to raise additional capital, if needed, on favorable economic terms, or other terms acceptable to us.

There can be no assurance that these or other actions we may take will be sufficient and timely in order to address our consolidated and Bank capital requirements and comply with the IMCR by December 31, 2011 or thereafter. If we cannot satisfactorily address our capital needs as they arise, our ability to maintain or expand our operations, our ability to meet the Company capital plan or Bank IMCR, operate without additional regulatory or other restrictions, and our operating results, could be materially adversely affected.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in federal and state laws and regulations, including recent changes under federal law.

The Company and the Bank are subject to extensive examination, supervision and comprehensive regulation by federal bank regulatory agencies. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds, and the banking system as a whole, and not holders of our common stock. These regulations affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy, and growth, among other things.

On July 21, 2010, the President signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act is changing the current bank regulatory structure and affecting the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and regulations, and to prepare numerous studies and reports for Congress. The federal agencies are given significant discretion in drafting the implementing rules and regulations, and consequently, many of the details and much of the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for months or years.

On July 21, 2011 (the “Transition Date”), Title III of the Dodd-Frank Act transferred to the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) the supervisory functions of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) related to savings and loan holding companies, like the Company, and their nondepository subsidiaries.

The Dodd-Frank Act provides that all orders, resolutions, determinations, agreements, and regulations, interpretive rules, other interpretations, guidelines, and other advisory materials issued, made, prescribed, or allowed to become effective by the OTS on or before the transfer date with respect to savings and loan holding companies and their non-depository subsidiaries will remain in effect and shall be enforceable until modified, terminated, set aside, or superseded in accordance with applicable law by the FRB, by any court of competent jurisdiction, or by operation of law. Accordingly, the Supervisory Agreement entered into by the Company with the OTS will be enforced by the FRB.

On September 13, 2011, the FRB published a final interim rule to implement certain provisions of Title III of the Dodd-Frank Act. Section 316 of the Dodd-Frank Act provides that all orders, resolutions, determinations, agreements, and regulations, interpretive rules, other interpretations, guidelines, and other advisory materials issued, made, prescribed, or allowed to become effective by the OTS on or before the transfer date with respect to savings and loan holding companies and their non-depository subsidiaries will remain in effect and shall be enforceable until modified, terminated, set aside, or superseded in accordance with applicable law by the Board, by any court of competent jurisdiction, or by operation of law. In the final interim rule, the FRB largely duplicated provisions of existing OTS regulations and codified them in a new Regulation LL. Most of the changes were non-substantive or are not expected to have material impact on the Company, its shareholders or the Bank. For example, the interim final rule states that a savings and loan holding company such as the Company must serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary savings associations and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe and unsound manner. Although these concepts are consistent with OTS policy, the Dodd-Frank Act placed the requirement in statute. Regulation LL reflects this requirement. The extent and timing of any substantive changes may have an impact on the Company’s capital requirements and liquidity but the effects are difficult to predict at this time.

As part of its new supervisory function for savings and loan holding companies, the FRB will begin direct oversight of the Company. The FRB has announced that it will assess the condition, performance and activities of savings and loan holding companies in a manner that is consistent with its established risk-based approach regarding bank holding company supervision to ensure that savings and loan holding companies are effectively supervised and can serve as a source of strength for, and do not threaten the soundness of, subsidiary depository institutions.

On the Transition Date, the Dodd-Frank Act transferred to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency the supervisory functions of the Bank’s former regulator, the OTS. The Dodd-Frank Act provides that all orders, resolutions, determinations, agreements, and regulations, interpretive rules, other interpretations, guidelines, and other advisory materials issued, made, prescribed, or allowed to become effective by the OTS on or before the transfer date with respect to savings associations will remain in effect and shall be enforceable until modified, terminated, set aside, or superseded in accordance with applicable law by the OCC, by any court of competent jurisdiction, or by operation of law. Accordingly, the Supervisory Agreement entered into by the Bank with the OTS will now be enforced by the OCC.

We do not expect that the transition of supervisory functions to the OCC and FRB to materially impact the Company, its shareholders or the Bank, but it is possible due to the change in regulators that the Company and Bank may experience qualitatively different and potentially more rigorous supervision and oversight of their activities.

Also effective on the Transition Date, a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act became effective that eliminates the federal prohibitions on paying interest on demand deposits, thus allowing businesses to have interest bearing checking accounts. Depending on competitive responses, this significant change to existing law could have an adverse impact on the Company’s interest expense.

Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations, and policies for possible changes. Changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations, or policies, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products we may offer, restrict mergers and acquisitions, investments, access to capital, the location of banking offices, or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputational damage, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur.

Changes to federal law and regulations may also limit the Bank’s flexibility on financial products and fees which could result in additional operational costs and a reduction in our non-interest income.

Further, our regulators have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of laws by financial institutions and holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. Examples include limits on payment of dividends by banks and regulations governing compensation. Regulation of dividends would limit the liquidity of the Company and limits on compensation may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain employees. See the other risk factors included in this Item 1.A. of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of risks related to the Company’s and the Bank’s Supervisory Agreements to which we have become subject and for a discussion regarding the Bank IMCR.

See Part I, Item 1.A. of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional risk factors.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

The Company has also determined that it will defer its November 15, 2011 dividend payment and following that deferral, the Company will have an aggregate arrearage of $1.3 million with respect to the preferred stock.
