("Company") were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. (b) Principles of Consolidation: The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Timberland Bank ("Bank"), and the Bank's wholly- owned subsidiary, Timberland Service Corp. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 10 (2) EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company's common stock during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from assumed conversion of outstanding stock options. In accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP), issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, shares owned by the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan that have not been allocated are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing earnings per share. At March 31, 2001, there were 432,016 ESOP shares that had not been allocated.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following analysis discusses the material changes in the financial condition and results of operations of the Company at and for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2001. This report contains certain "forward-looking statements." The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protection of such safe harbor with forward looking statements. These forward looking statements may describe future plans or strategies and include the Company's expectations of future financial results. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The Company's ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results include interest rate trends, the economic climate in the Company's market areas and the country as a whole, loan delinquency rates, and changes in federal and state regulation. These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2001 and September 30, 2000 Total Assets: Total assets increased to $368.6 million at March 31, 2001 from $368.1 million at September 30, 2000, primarily reflected in a $1.6 million increase in total loans, a $1.3 million increase in premises and fixed assets, and an $800,000 increase in cash and due from financial institutions and interest bearing deposits in banks. These increases were partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in investments and mortgage backed securities available for sale. Due to the current interest rate environment, the sale of lower interest rate fixed-rate mortgages has been increased. This affected the Bank's asset growth, however it represents a positive step in preparing the Bank for future interest rate increases. Cash and Due from Financial Institutions: Cash and due from financial institutions increased to $9.9 million at March 31, 2001 from $8.9 million at September 30, 2000. Interest Bearing Deposits in Banks: Interest bearing deposits in banks decreased to $2.9 million at March 31, 2001 from $3.1 million at September 30, 2000. Investments and Mortgage-backed Securities: Investments and mortgage-backed securities decreased to $25.8 million at March 31, 2001 from $29.1 million at September 30, 2000. This decrease is primarily due to redemptions to fund share repurchases and scheduled amortization and prepayments. Loans Receivable, and Loans Held-for-sale, net of allowance for loan losses: Net loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, increased to $314.6 million at March 31, 2001 from $313.0 million at September 30, 2000. This increase is primarily a result of an increase in commercial real estate loans, land loans, commercial business loans, and home equity and second mortgage loans. Loan originations for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 increased to $30.9 million from $23.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The Company sold $8.1 million in fixed rate mortgages during the current quarter and loans classified as held for sale decreased to $24.6 million at March 31, 2001 from $28.3 million at September 30, 2000. 12 Real Estate Owned: Real estate owned decreased slightly to $1.9 million at March 31, 2001 from $2.0 million at September 30, 2000. The company wrote off $300,000 in REO market value losses during the quarter. Of this amount $235,000 was written down on the Company's largest remaining REO, a convenience store with a gas station. Due to competitive pressures facing the petroleum industry, which have adversely affected the value of convenience store properties, Timberland elected to sell the property at current market value to avoid the possibility of future losses on the property. Timberland has accepted offers on this property as well as the one remaining affiliated retail space. We anticipate the sale of these two properties, which currently comprise $711,000 of the March 31, 2001 REO balance, should close during the June 30, 2001 quarter. Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment increased by $1.3 million to $9.9 million at March 31, 2001 from $8.6 million at September 30, 2000. This increase is primarily due to construction costs for the Bank's Tumwater branch (Thurston County), which opened in March, construction costs for the Bank's Tacoma branch (Pierce County) which is scheduled to open in May, and the installation of a new check imaging system. Deposits: Deposits increased by 5.9% to $225.2 million at March 31, 2001 from $212.6 million at September 30, 2000, primarily due to increases in the Bank's certificate of deposit accounts, money market accounts, and checking accounts. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances: Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances decreased 13.7% to $70.1 million at March 31, 2001 from $81.1 million at September 30, 2000, as funds from increased deposits, loan sales, and the maturity of investment securities were used to pay down the level of advances. Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders' equity decreased to $71.4 million at March 31, 2001 from $72.3 million at September 30, 2000, primarily as a result of the repurchase of 259,040 shares of the Company's stock for $3.5 million and the payment of $951,000 in dividends to shareholders. These decreases to shareholders' equity were partially offset by net income of $3.0 million, a $284,000 recovery in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss category, and a $265,000 reduction in the equity component related to the unearned shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Trust The Company continued to be active in stock repurchases during the quarter. On February 12, 2001, the Company completed its seventh stock repurchase plan at an average price of $12.91. On February 23, 2001 the Company announced its eighth 5% stock repurchase plan. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had repurchased 83,500 of the 209,287 shares that were authorized to be repurchased at an average price of $13.375. The Company has now repurchased 2,078,245 (31.4%) of the 6,612,500 shares that were issued when the Company went public in January 1998. Non-performing Assets: Total non-performing assets decreased to $4.9 million at March 31, 2001 from $5.6 million at September 30, 2000. The Company's non-performing assets to total asset ratio (NPA) decreased to 1.33% at March 31, 2001 from 1.52% at September 30, 2000. Non-accrual loans decreased to $3.0 million at March 31, 2001 from $3.6 million at September 30, 2000. 13 Non Performing Assets - --------------------- The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company's nonperforming assets at March 31, 2001 and September 30, 2000.

Income for the current quarter was reduced by $300,000 ($198,000 after income tax) in REO market value writedowns and $68,000 ($45,000 after income tax) in net start-up and marketing expenses associated with the Bank's new checking account acquisition program. These decreases were partially offset by a $228,000 ($150,000 after income tax) gain on sale of securities. Income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was reduced by a $127,000 ($84,000 after income tax) market value writedown on loans held for sale. Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased 10.7% to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Total interest and dividend income increased $1.0 million to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase is primarily a result of a $1.1 million increase in interest from loans receivable as average loans increased to $319.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 from $279.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, and is partially offset by a $68,000 net decrease in interest and dividends from investment securities and financial institutions. The net decrease in interest and dividends from investment securities and financial institutions is primarily a result of lower average balances for the quarter in investment securities and in funds held with financial institutions due to redemptions to fund share repurchases and scheduled amortization and prepayments. Total interest expense increased 21.8% to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase is primarily a result of a $338,000 increase in interest paid on customer deposits and a $293,000 increase in interest paid on FHLB advances. Net interest margin decreased slightly to 4.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from 4.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. However, net interest margin for the current quarter increased by 26 basis points from the 4.67% for the quarter ended December 31, 2000, primarily as a result of the Company's short-term FHLB advances re-pricing downward at maturity and the reduction in average FHLB borrowings for the quarter. 16 Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $200,000 compared with $280,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Management deemed the general loan loss reserves of $2.8 million at March 31, 2001 (0.89% of loans receivable and loans held for sale and 94.1% of non-performing loans) adequate to provide for estimated losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date. Net charge-offs for the current quarter were $135,000 compared to $302,000 in the same quarter of 2000. Noninterest Income: Total noninterest income increased to $798,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $167,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase is primarily due to a combined increase of $241,000 in gain on sale of securities, a $127,000 change in market value adjustments on loans held for sale, a $106,000 increase in service charge on deposits, and a $73,000 increase in gain on sale of loans. Noninterest Expense: Total noninterest expense increased to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase is primarily due to $300,000 in REO market value writedowns, a $231,000 increase in salary and employee benefit expense, and a $150,000 increase in advertising expense. The increase in salary and employee benefit expense is primarily a result of adding employees to staff the Bank's new branches in Tumwater and Tacoma and hiring additional commercial loan officers to increase the Bank's business banking activities. The increase in advertising expense is primarily due to $134,000 in advertising expense related to the new checking account acquisition program. Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes increased to $734,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $647,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 primarily as a result of higher income before income taxes. Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 Net Income: Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2001 was $3.0 million or $0.71 per basic share ($0.70 per diluted share) compared to net income of $2.5 million or $0.54 per basic share ($0.54 per diluted share) for the six months ended March 31, 2000. Income for the current six months was increased by a $228,000 ($150,000 after income tax) gain on sale of securities and a $175,000 ($116,000 after income tax) market value recovery on loans held for sale. Also affecting income for the current six months was $300,000 ($198,000 after income tax) in REO market value writedowns and $183,000 ($121,000 after income tax) in net start-up and marketing expenses associated with the Bank's new checking account acquisition program. Income for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was reduced by a $407,000 ($269,000 after income tax) market value writedown on loans held for sale. Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased 8.9% to $8.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001 from $7.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000. Total interest and dividend income increased 18.3% to $15.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001 from $13.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000. The increase is primarily a result of a $2.5 million increase in interest from loans receivable and is partially offset by a $83,000 net decrease in interest and dividends from investment securities and financial institutions. The increase in interest income from loans receivable is primarily a result of higher average balances for the period due to loan growth, as average loan balances increased to $321.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001 from $274.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000. The net decrease in interest and dividends from investments securities and financial institutions is primarily a result of lower average balances for the six months in investment securities and 17 in funds held with financial institutions due to redemptions to fund share repurchases and scheduled amortization and prepayments. Total interest expense increased 31.5% to $7.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001 from $5.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000. This increase is primarily a result of a $930,000 increase in interest paid on FHLB advances and an $827,000 increase in interest paid on customer deposits arising from increases in both average rates paid and outstanding balances. The net interest margin was 4.80% for the six months ended March 31, 2001 compared to a net interest margin of 5.02% for the six months ended March 31, 2000. Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for the six months ended March 31, 2001 was $350,000 compared with $355,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2000. Management deemed the general loan loss reserves of $2.8 million at March 31, 2001 (.89% of loans receivable and loans held for sale, and 94.1% of non-performing loans) adequate to provide for estimated losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date. Net charge-offs for the six months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were $157,000 and $311,000 respectively. Noninterest Income: Total noninterest income increased $1.2 million to $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001 from $222,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2000, primarily due to a $582,000 change in the market value adjustment on loans held for sale, a net increase of $241,000 in gain on sale of securities, a $145,000 increase in service charges on deposits, and a $92,000 increase in gain on sale of loans. Noninterest Expense: Total noninterest expense increased $1.1 million to $5.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001 from $3.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000, primarily due to a $320,000 increase in salary and benefit expense, $300,000 in REO market value writedowns, a $216,000 increase in advertising expense, and smaller increases in ATM expenses and premises and equipment expenses. The increase in salary and benefit expense was primarily due to adding personnel to staff two new branches (Tumwater and Tacoma) and hiring additional commercial loan officers to increase the Bank's business banking activities. The increase in advertising expense is primarily a result of expenses related to the new checking account acquisition program. Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes increased to $1.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001 from $1.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2000 primarily as a result of higher income before income taxes. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage backed securities, and proceeds from the sale of loans, maturing securities and FHLB advances. The Company also raised $65.0 million in net proceeds from the January 1998 stock offering. While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At March 31, 2001, the Bank's regulatory liquidity ratio (net cash, and short-term and marketable assets, as a percentage of net deposits and short-term liabilities) was 23.3%. The Bank also 18 maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB-Seattle that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate amount of $127.1 million, under which $70.1 million was outstanding at March 31, 2001. Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of the Bank's management. The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, and (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and collateral for repurchase agreements. The Bank's primary investing activity is the origination of one-to-four family mortgage loans and construction and land development loans. At March 31, 2001, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $23.2 million and undisbursed loans in process totaling $25.6 million. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from March 31, 2001 totaled $108.3 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they mature. Federally-insured state-chartered banks are required to maintained minimum levels of regulatory capital. Under current FDIC regulations, insured state-chartered banks generally must maintain (i) a ratio of Tier 1 leverage capital to total assets of at least 3.0% (4.0% to 5.0% for all but the most highly rated banks), (ii) a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of at least 4.0% and (iii) a ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of at least 8.0%. At March 31, 2001, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital requirements. For additional details see "Regulatory Capital".
