Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
(1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) is a stock savings bank holding company that owns
The consolidated financial statements included herein are for HMN, the Bank, OIA and HPH. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(2) Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company's Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 19, 2024. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued.
(3) New Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in the ASU address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that are subject to Topic 740, Income Taxes with certain disclosures only required by public business entities. For public business entities, such as the Company, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently in the process of reviewing how the Company’s income tax disclosure will be impacted by the additional guidance when this ASU is required to be adopted on December 31, 2025.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in the ASU address investor requests for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The amendments in the ASU apply to all public entities, such as the Company, that are required to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current disclosure requirements or how a public entity identifies its operating segments. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently in the process of reviewing how the Company’s segment reporting will be impacted by the additional guidance when this ASU is required to be adopted on December 31, 2024.
(4) 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 the Company’s 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

| Equity securities | ||||||||||||||||
| Commitments to extend credit | ||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | |||||||||||||||
The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of the lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets or portfolios at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(5) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments requires interim reporting period disclosure of the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, including assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value estimates are made as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are shown below. There is an explanation of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments following the table.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.
Securities Available for Sale
The fair values of securities were based upon quoted market prices for similar securities. The fair values measurements are subject to independent verification by another pricing source on a quarterly basis to review for reasonableness.
Equity Securities
The fair values of equity securities were based upon quoted market prices for similar securities.
Loans Held for Sale
The fair values of loans held for sale were based upon quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates and terms to maturity.
Loans Receivable
The fair value of the loan portfolio, with the exception of the adjustable rate portfolio, was calculated by discounting the scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using anticipated prepayment speeds and using discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in each loan portfolio. The fair value of the adjustable loan portfolio, with the exception of those loans that adjust on a daily basis, is estimated by grouping the loans with similar characteristics and comparing the characteristics of each group to the prices quoted for similar types of loans in the secondary market.
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock
The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its fair value.
Accrued Interest Receivable
The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature and does not present unanticipated credit concerns.
Mortgage Servicing Assets
The fair values of mortgage servicing assets were calculated by a third party using a discounted cash flow model-based technique that uses significant assumptions both observable and non-observable in the market. The unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the mortgage servicing asset.
Deposits
The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market account deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities based on a discounted cash flow calculation.
FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings
The fair values of advances and borrowings with fixed maturities are estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis using as discount rates the interest rates charged by the FHLB for borrowing of similar remaining terms. The carrying amount of overnight advances approximates their fair value.
Accrued Interest Payable
The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature.
Commitments to Extend Credit
The fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees normally charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counter parties.
Commitments to Sell Loans
The fair values of commitments to sell loans are estimated using the quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates and terms to maturity.
(6) Securities Available For Sale
The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair values for the securities available for sale portfolio, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors and the Company does not intend to sell the securities and has the intent and ability to hold them for a period of time sufficient for recovery in their amortized cost basis. This review includes analyzing 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 the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company did not consider the unrealized losses on its securities available for sale to be attributable to credit-related factors. All of the Company’s investments are issued by U.S. government agencies, are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, and have a long history of no credit losses. The unrealized losses on impaired securities are the result of changes in interest rates. As a result, there was no allowance for credit losses required on available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2024. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, there were no sales of securities.
A summary of securities available for sale at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:

The following table indicates amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities available for sale at March 31, 2024 based upon contractual maturity adjusted for scheduled repayments of principal and projected prepayments of principal based upon current economic conditions and interest rates.

The allocation of mortgage-backed securities in the table above is based upon the anticipated future cash flow of the securities using estimated mortgage prepayment speeds. The allocation of other marketable securities that have call features is based on the anticipated cash flows to the expected call date if it is anticipated that the security will be called, or to the maturity date if it is not anticipated to be called.
The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of securities available for sale. Accrued interest receivable on securities available for sale is reported as a component of accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheet and totaled $
The Company had available for sale securities pledged as collateral for customer deposits in excess of the $250,000 insurance limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The securities pledged had a fair market value of $
(7) Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income
Other comprehensive (loss) income is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive (loss) income is the total of net income and other comprehensive income or loss, which for the Company is comprised of unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale. The components of other comprehensive (loss) income and the related tax effects were as follows:

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on January 1, 2023, and uses a standardized process to determine the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses (ACL) for the commercial real estate, commercial business, single family, and consumer loan portfolios. The determination of the ACL for each of these portfolios is calculated on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist and on an individual basis when loans do not share risk characteristics, such as all non-performing loans. Qualitative reserves are also established and reflect management’s overall estimate of the extent to which current expected credit losses on collectively evaluated loans will differ from historical loss experience.
Collateral dependent loans are those for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. These loans do not typically share similar risk characteristics with other loans and expected credit losses are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation. Estimates of expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans, whether or not foreclosure is probable, are based on the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for selling costs when repayment depends on the sale of the collateral. The estimates are reviewed periodically, and any adjustments are recorded in the provision for credit losses in the periods in which the adjustments become known and loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible.
The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans. Accrued interest receivable on loans is reported as a component of accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheet and totaled $
In addition to the ACL on loans, the Company has established an ACL on unfunded commitments that is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. This reserve is maintained at a level that management believes is sufficient to absorb losses arising from unfunded loan commitments. This amount is determined quarterly based on an estimate of the outstanding commitments that are anticipated to be funded and multiplying those amounts by the loss rate for their loan category. The allowance for unfunded commitments was material at March 31, 2024 and was $
The provision for credit losses is determined by the Company as the amount to be added to the ACL for various types of financial instruments including loans, investment securities, and off-balance sheet credit exposures after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the ACL to a level that, in management’s judgment, is necessary to absorb expected credit losses over the lives of the respective financial instruments. provision for credit losses was recorded on available-for-sale investment securities for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company categorized loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt. The information considered includes information, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company established a risk rating at origination for all commercial real estate and commercial business loans and management monitors the loans on an ongoing basis for any changes in the borrower’s ability to service their debt. Management also affirms the risk ratings for these loans on an annual basis.
Classified loans are categorized as special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss. Loans classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss require the Bank to perform an analysis of the individual loan and charge off any loans, or portion thereof, that are deemed uncollectible. Loans not meeting the criteria on the following page to require an individual analysis that are not classified as special mention are considered to be unclassified or pass-rated loans.
The Company uses the following definitions for classifying loans:
Special Mention - Loans classified as special mention are loans that have potential weaknesses that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.
Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are loans that are generally inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have the weaknesses of those classified as substandard, with additional characteristics that make collection in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss.
Loss - Loans classified as loss are essentially uncollateralized and/or considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset on the balance sheet may not be warranted.
The aging of past due loans at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is summarized as follows:
| (Dollars in thousands) | 30-59 Days Past Due | 60-89 Days Past Due | 90 Days or More Past Due | Total Past Due | Current Loans | Total Loans | Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing | |||||||||||||||||||||

The Company considers a loan to have defaulted when it becomes 90 or more days past due and the loan is classified as non-accruing. When a loan is classified as non-accruing, any accrued interest on the loan is reversed from interest income and any subsequent interest on the loan is recognized using the cash basis method of income recognition. A non-accruing loan may be reclassified as an accruing loan after the loan becomes current.

The Company accounts for loan modifications in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 326. Based on the guidance, a loan modification or refinancing results in a new loan if the terms of the new loan are at least as favorable to the lender as the terms with customers with similar collection risks that are not refinancing or restructuring their loans and the modification to the terms of the loan are more than minor. If a loan modification or refinancing does not result in a new loan, it is classified as a loan modification.
The Company had loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties in the first quarter of 2024 or 2023. At March 31, 2024, there were commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose loan terms have been previously restructured. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, there were defaults on loans that had been modified during the 12 months ended March 31, 2024 for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

Projections of amortization are based on existing asset balances and the existing interest rate environment as of March 31, 2024. The Company’s actual experience may be significantly different depending upon changes in mortgage interest rates and other market conditions.
No amortization expense relating to goodwill is recorded as GAAP does not allow goodwill to be amortized but requires that it be tested for impairment at least annually, or sooner, if there are indications that impairment may exist. Goodwill was tested for impairment at March 31, 2024 and the Company determined that it was not permanently impaired and no write down was required.
(11) Leases
The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Because the Company only has operating leases and the right-of-use asset is offset by a lease payment obligation liability, the lease payments are the only amount that is recorded in occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The Company’s leases relate to office space and bank branches with remaining lease terms between

(13) Regulatory Capital and Oversight
The Bank is subject to the Basel III regulatory capital requirements. The Basel III requirements, among other things, (i) apply a set of capital requirements to the Bank, including requirements relating to common equity as a component of core capital, (ii) implement a “capital conservation buffer” against risk and a higher minimum Tier 1 capital requirement, and (iii) set forth rules for calculating risk-weighted assets for purposes of such requirements. The rules also made corresponding revisions to the prompt corrective action framework and include capital ratios and buffer requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank in its Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement (Policy Statement) has exempted small bank holding companies with assets less than $3 billion from the above capital requirements. The Policy Statement also includes savings and loan holding companies that meet the Policy Statement’s qualitative requirements for exemption. The Company currently meets the qualitative exemption requirements, and therefore, is exempt from the above capital requirements.
Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table and defined in the regulation) of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted assets.

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 foreclosure proceedings, collection actions, and other litigation as part of its normal banking activities. The Company examines each legal matter, and, in those situations where it determines that a particular legal matter presents loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, establishes an appropriate accrual. In many situations, the Company is not able to estimate reasonably possible losses due to the preliminary nature of the legal matter, as well as a variety of other factors and uncertainties. Based on the Company’s current understanding of all of the outstanding legal matters, management does not believe that judgments or settlements arising from any pending or threatened litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
(16) Business Segments
The Bank has been identified as a reportable operating segment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 280. HMN, the holding company, did not meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment and therefore is included in the “Other” category.
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segment’s net income, return on average assets and return on average equity. Each corporation is managed separately with its own officers and board of directors. The following table sets forth certain information about the reconciliations of reported profit and assets for each of the Company’s reportable segments.

General
HMN is the stock savings bank holding company for the Bank, which operates community banking and loan production offices in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. The earnings of the Company are primarily dependent on the Bank's net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and other borrowings. The difference between the average rate of interest earned on assets and the average rate paid on liabilities is the interest rate spread. Net interest income is produced when interest-earning assets equal or exceed interest-bearing liabilities and there is a positive interest rate spread. Net interest income and net interest rate spread are affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. The Company's net earnings are also affected by the generation of non-interest income, which consists primarily of gains from the sale of loans, fees for servicing loans, commissions on the sale of uninsured investment products, and service charges on deposit accounts. The Bank incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in the form of compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, provisions for credit losses, data processing costs, professional services, deposit insurance, amortization expense on mortgage servicing assets, advertising expenses, and income taxes. The earnings of financial institutions, such as the Bank, are also significantly affected by prevailing economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government monetary and fiscal policies, and regulations of various regulatory authorities. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of business credit, single family and commercial properties, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of deposits are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest on competing investments, account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings.
Critical Accounting Estimates
While our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we believe the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting estimates, which are those estimates made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The Company has identified the following critical accounting estimates that management believes involve the most difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments that are inherently uncertain. Therefore, actual financial results could differ significantly depending upon the estimates, assumptions and other factors used.
Allowance for Credit Losses and Related Provision
The Company accounts for its allowance for credit losses and the related provision in accordance with ASC 326 and the allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are also not included in the collective evaluations. The collective reserve amount is assessed based on size and risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past loss history and other adjustments determined to have a potential impact on future credit losses.
The Company has a standardized process to determine the appropriateness of the credit loss allowance for the commercial real estate, commercial business, single family, and consumer loan portfolios. The determination of the allowance for each of these portfolios is calculated on a pooled basis with individual determination of the allowance for all non-performing loans. The determination of the quantitative pooled loan reserves for the commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios involves analyzing prior year losses by their assigned standardized risk ratings and applying these historic loss factors to the loans in the current portfolio with similar risk rating. This process is referred to as a Vintage Loss Analysis. The determination of the quantitative pooled loan reserves for the single family and consumer loan portfolios involves analyzing prior year losses based on certain loan and borrower risk characteristics when the loans were originated and applying these historic loss factors to the loans in the current portfolio with similar risk characteristics. Qualitative reserves are also established and reflect management’s overall estimate of the extent to which current expected credit losses on collectively evaluated loans will differ from historical loss experience. The determination of the qualitative reserves for all of the loan categories involves an analysis and consideration of certain factors that are anticipated to have an impact on future credit losses including, but not limited to: actual and anticipated changes in the size, composition, and concentrations of the loan portfolios; national, regional, and local economic conditions including inflation and unemployment data; loan delinquencies; the scope and results of loan quality reviews; level of non-accrual loans, and risk rating trends; lending policies, procedures, and staffing; and the demand for single family homes, commercial real estate, and building lots.
The appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on individually reviewed collateral dependent loans 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 collateral dependent loans. Such estimates, appraisals, evaluations, and cash flows may be subject to adjustments due to changing economic prospects of borrowers or properties. The fair market value of collateral dependent loans is typically based on the appraised value of the property less estimated selling costs. The estimates are reviewed periodically, and any adjustments are recorded in the provision for credit losses in the periods in which the adjustments become known and loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. Because of the size of some loans, changes in estimates can have a significant impact on the provision for credit losses. The Company increases its allowance for credit losses by charging the provision for credit losses against income and by receiving recoveries of previously charged off loans. The Company decreases its allowance by crediting the provision for credit losses and recording loan charge-offs. The methodology for establishing the allowance for credit losses takes into consideration probable losses that have been identified in connection with the loans individually reviewed as well as the expected losses in each identified pool of loans that have not been individually reviewed. Although management believes that based on current conditions the allowance for credit losses is maintained at an appropriate amount to provide for the expected loan losses in the portfolio as of the balance sheet dates, future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining the allowance for credit losses and adjustments may be required in the future.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal and state income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
The Company maintains significant net deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, the two largest relating to the net unrealized loss on securities available for sale and the allowance for credit losses. For tax purposes, the net unrealized losses on securities available for sale are not recognized unless the securities are sold and the loss becomes realized. For book purposes, the unrealized losses, net of income taxes, are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. For the allowance for credit losses, only the net charge-offs are deductible while the entire provision for credit losses is used to determine book income. A deferred tax asset for both of these items is created because of the timing difference of when the expense is recognized for book and tax purposes. Under GAAP, 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 positive evidence considered includes the Company’s cumulative net income in the prior three-year period, the ability to implement tax planning strategies to accelerate taxable income recognition, and the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods. The only negative evidence that the Company identified was related to a change in Wisconsin state tax law that was enacted in 2023. The law change allows financial institutions to claim an exemption from state taxation loan income from loans of $5 million or less where the borrower resides or is located in Wisconsin. The law change is anticipated to substantially reduce the Company’s effective state income tax rate in Wisconsin, which is expected to reduce the Company’s Wisconsin state income tax expense in future periods. A valuation allowance has been recorded to reflect the anticipated reduction in the Company’s ability to recognize future Wisconsin state tax benefits when the timing differences reverse on the previously recorded deferred tax assets. It is possible that future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining that a valuation allowance is required on deferred tax assets and adjustments may be required in the future.
Determining the ultimate settlement of any tax position requires significant estimates and judgments in arriving at the amount of tax benefits to be recognized in the financial statements. It is possible that the tax benefits realized upon the ultimate resolution of a tax position may result in tax benefits that are significantly different from those estimated.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2023
Net Income
Net income was $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to net income of $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2023. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2024 was $0.30, a decrease of $0.07 from diluted earnings per share of $0.37 for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in net income between the periods was due primarily to a $0.8 million decrease in net interest income because of a decline in the net interest margin as a result of funding costs increasing faster than the yields on interest earning assets. This decrease in net income was partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in the provision for credit losses due primarily to a decrease in the general reserves as a result of updating the historical vintage loan loss analysis during the quarter. Other non-interest expenses decreased $0.1 million primarily because of a decrease in compensation and benefits expense due to a reduction in incentive accruals. Income tax expense also decreased $0.2 million primarily because of the decrease in pre-tax income.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $7.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 10.0%, compared to $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2023. Interest income was $12.0 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $2.1 million, or 21.0%, from $9.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. Interest income increased primarily because of the increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods and also because of the $50.3 million increase in the average interest-earning assets. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.36% for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 56 basis points from 3.80% for the first quarter of 2023. The increase in the average yield is primarily related to the increase in market interest rates as a result of the 5.00% increase in the prime interest rate over the past two years.
Interest expense was $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $2.8 million, or 156.4%, compared to $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. Interest expense increased primarily because of the increase in the average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. Interest expense also increased because of the $44.9 million increase in the average interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits between the periods. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits was 1.88% for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 111 basis points from 0.77% for the first quarter of 2023. The increase in the average rate paid is primarily related to the change in the types of funding sources as more brokered deposits and certificates of deposits were used as funding sources in the first quarter of 2024 than were used in the first quarter of 2023. These funding sources generally have higher interest rates than traditional checking and money market accounts. The increase in market interest rates as a result of the 5.00% increase in the federal funds rate over the past two years also contributed to the higher funding costs in the first quarter of 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023.
Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the first quarter of 2024 was 2.63%, a decrease of 46 basis points, compared to 3.09% for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily because the increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits exceeded the increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods.
A summary of the Company’s net interest margin for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was ($0.2) million for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.2 million compared to the provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses decreased in the first quarter of 2024 primarily because of a decrease in the general reserve percentages used to calculate the allowance for credit losses as a result of updating the annual historical vintage loan loss analysis during the quarter. The provision for credit losses was also reduced as a result of the reduction in the required qualitative reserves due to perceived improvements in the forecasted economic conditions. These reductions were partially offset by an increase in the provision as a result of an increase in the allowance for credit losses attributable to loan growth.
The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluations. The collective reserve amount is assessed based on the size and risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past loss history, and other adjustments determined to have a potential impact on future credit losses.
A reconciliation of the Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans for the first quarters of 2024 and 2023 is summarized as follows:

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The transition to this ASU resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for credit losses of $1.1 million, an increase in deferred tax assets of $0.3 million, and a decrease to retained earnings of $0.8 million as of the adoption date. In addition, a liability for $0.1 million was established for projected future losses on unfunded commitments on outstanding lines of credit upon adoption. The projected liability for unfunded commitments decreased $1,000 during the first quarter of 2024 and increased $24,000 during the first quarter of 2023.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, the same as it was for the first quarter of 2023. Fees and service charges decreased $0.1 million between the periods due primarily to a decrease in overdraft fees collected as a result of changes to the Company’s overdraft policy that were implemented in the first quarter of 2024. Loan servicing fees decreased slightly between the periods due to a decrease in the aggregate balances of commercial loans that were being serviced for others. Gain on sales of loans decreased slightly between the periods because of a decrease in the margin realized on loans sold in the secondary market between the periods. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in other non-interest income due primarily to an increase in the income earned on the sales of uninsured investment products between the periods.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 1.8%, from $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2023. Compensation and benefits expense decreased $0.1 million primarily because of a reduction in incentive accruals between the periods. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $0.1 million due primarily to a decrease in noncapitalized equipment costs between the periods. Other non-interest expense decreased slightly between the periods primarily because of a decrease in advertising costs. These decreases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in professional services expense between the periods primarily because of an increase in legal and other audit related expenses. Data processing expenses increased slightly between the periods primarily because of an increase in core, mobile and on-line banking charges.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.2 million from $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in income tax expense between the periods is primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax income.

Total non-performing assets were $2.8 million at March 31, 2024 and $3.8 million at December 31, 2023. The reduction in non-performing assets during the quarter was primarily related to $0.8 million of principal payments received on a non-performing loan relationship in the agriculture industry.
Dividends
The Company declared a quarterly dividend of 8 cents per share of common stock that was paid on March 6, 2024. The declaration and amount of any future cash dividends remains subject to the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, regulatory and contractual restrictions, business strategy and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the net cash provided by operating activities was $1.9 million. The Company collected $8.4 million in principal repayments on securities, received proceeds from maturing securities of $15.0 million, purchased securities of $15.0 million, received redemptions on FHLB stock of $0.6 million, and purchased $0.1 million of premises and equipment. Loans receivable increased $13.5 million, deposits increased $54.1 million, and customer escrows increased $1.2 million during the quarter. It also paid dividends to stockholders of $0.3 million and repaid borrowings of $13.2 million.
The Company has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $209.0 million that come 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 cash outflows from deposits that do not renew will be replaced with a combination of other customers’ deposits or FHLB advances. Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis borrowings could also be used to fund unanticipated outflows of certificates of deposit. Unpledged securities could also be pledged and used as collateral for additional borrowings with the FHLB or Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
The Company had seven deposit customers each with aggregate deposits greater than $5.0 million as of March 31, 2024. The $83.0 million in funds held by these customers may be withdrawn at any time, but management anticipates that the majority of these deposits will not be withdrawn from the Bank over the next twelve months. If these deposits were withdrawn, it is anticipated that they would be replaced with deposits from other customers or brokers or with FHLB advances. Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis borrowings could also be used to replace unanticipated outflows of large checking and money market deposits.
The Company estimates that approximately 25.6% of total deposits exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance limit of $250,000 at March 31, 2024. While these funds may be withdrawn at any time, management anticipates that the majority of these deposits will not be withdrawn from the Bank over the next twelve months. If these deposits were withdrawn, it is anticipated that they would be replaced with deposits from other customers or brokers or with FHLB advances. Federal Reserve Bank borrowings could also be used to replace unanticipated outflows of large checking and money market deposits.
The Company had the ability to borrow $296.8 million from the FHLB at March 31, 2024 based on the collateral value of the loans pledged. The credit policy of the FHLB relating to the collateral value of the loans collateralizing the available line of credit with the FHLB may change such that the current collateral pledged to secure future advances is no longer acceptable or the formulas for determining the excess pledged collateral may change. The FHLB could also reduce the amount of funds it will lend to the Bank. It is not anticipated that the Bank will need to find alternative funding sources in the next twelve months to replace the available borrowings from the FHLB. However, if needed, the Bank could borrow an additional $89.8 million from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis at March 31, 2024 based on the collateral value of the loans pledged. The Company also has the ability to pledge securities as collateral to increase the borrowing capacity of the Company by $108.2.
The Company’s primary source of cash is dividends from the Bank. At March 31, 2024, the Company had $15.9 million in cash. The primary use of cash by the Company is the payment of holding company level expenses including the payment of director and management fees, legal expenses and regulatory costs. The Company also uses cash to repurchase stock and pay any declared dividends. The Company plans to continue to fund its liquidity needs through dividends from the Bank, or if deemed prudent, by obtaining external capital.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its investing, lending and deposit taking activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.
The Company's profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact the Company's earnings to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Company monitors the projected changes in net interest income that occur if interest rates were to suddenly change up or down. The Rate Shock Table located in the following Asset/Liability Management section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis discloses the Company's projected changes in net interest income based upon immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks. The Company utilizes a model that uses the discounted cash flows from its interest-earning assets and its interest-bearing liabilities to calculate the current market value of those assets and liabilities. The model also calculates the changes in market value of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities under different interest rate changes.
The following table discloses the projected changes in the market value of 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 March 31, 2024.

The preceding table was prepared utilizing a model using the following assumptions (the Model Assumptions) regarding prepayment and decay ratios that were determined by management based upon their review of historical prepayment speeds and future prepayment projections. Fixed rate loans were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 4% to 57%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 7% and 48%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities were projected to have prepayments based upon the underlying collateral securing the instrument. Certificate accounts were assumed not to be withdrawn until maturity. Passbook accounts were assumed to prepay at an annual rate of 1%. Money market accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of between 14% and 46%. Retail checking accounts, commercial checking accounts and commercial money market accounts were assumed to decay at annual rates of 9%, 39% and 13%, respectively. Callable investments were projected to be called at the first call date where the projected interest rate on similar remaining term instruments was less than the interest rate on the callable investment.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the above table. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. The model assumes that the difference between the current interest rate being earned or paid compared to a treasury instrument or other interest index with a similar term to maturity (the Interest Spread) will remain constant over the interest changes disclosed in the table. Changes in Interest Spread could impact projected market value changes. Certain assets, such as ARMs, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the assets. The market value of the interest-bearing assets that are approaching their lifetime interest rate caps could be different from the values disclosed in the table. Certain liabilities, such as certificates of deposit, have fixed rates that restrict interest rate changes until maturity. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the foregoing table. The ability of many borrowers to service their debt may also decrease in the event of a substantial sustained increase in interest rates.
Asset/Liability Management
The Company’s management reviews the impact that changing interest rates will have on the Company’s net interest income projected for the next twelve months to determine if its current level of interest rate risk is acceptable. The following table projects the estimated impact on net interest income during the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2025 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 decrease in interest income in a rising rate environment is primarily because there are more deposits that would reprice to higher interest rates than there are loans and investments that would be repriced higher in the next twelve months. The decrease in net interest income in the 200 down environment relates primarily to the anticipated prepayments on mortgage loans held in the portfolio.
In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management closely monitors interest rate risk. The Bank has an Asset/Liability Committee that meets frequently to discuss changes in the interest rate risk position and projected profitability. This Committee makes adjustments to the asset-liability position of the Bank that are reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Bank. This Committee also reviews the Bank's portfolio, formulates investment strategies and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions as intended to assure attainment of the Bank's objectives in an effective manner. In addition, each quarter the Board reviews the Bank's asset/liability position, including simulations of the effect on the Bank's capital of various interest rate scenarios.
In managing its asset/liability composition, the Bank may, at times, depending on the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, place more emphasis on managing net interest margin than on better matching the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities in an effort to enhance net interest income. Management believes that the increased net interest income resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of its asset and liability portfolios can, in certain situations, provide high enough returns to justify the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected changes in interest rates.
To the extent consistent with its interest rate spread objectives, the Bank attempts to manage its interest rate risk and has taken a number of steps to structure its balance sheet to better match the maturities of its assets and liabilities. The Bank sells almost all of its originated 30-year fixed rate single family residential loans that are saleable to third parties and generally places only adjustable rate or shorter-term fixed rate loans that meet certain risk characteristics into its loan portfolio. In addition, a significant portion of the Bank’s commercial loans that are placed into the portfolio are adjustable rate loans or fixed rate loans that reprice in five years or less.
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 Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were 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 SEC rules and forms.
Changes in internal controls. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
