("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 ended December 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. 9 (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 and awarded but not released Management Recognition and Development Plan ("MRDP") shares. 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 December 31, 2001, there were 396,750 ESOP shares that had not been allocated.

The dividend is to be paid February 15, 2002, to shareholders of record as of the close of business February 1, 2002. 10 Item 2. 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 ended December 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 competition in the financial services market for both deposits and loans, 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 December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001 Total Assets: Total assets decreased by $5.9 million to $380.4 million at December 31, 2001 from $386.3 million at September 30, 2001. The change is primarily reflected in an $11.9 million decrease in loans held for sale and a $3.1 million decrease in cash and interest bearing deposits in banks. These decreases are partially offset by a $9.5 million increase in investments and mortgage-backed securities. Cash and Due from Financial Institutions: Cash and due from financial institutions decreased to $8.4 million at December 31, 2001 from $10.0 million at September 30, 2001. Interest Bearing Deposits in Banks: Interest bearing deposits in banks decreased to $1.9 million at December 31, 2001 from $3.4 million at September 30, 2001. Investments and Mortgage-backed Securities: Investments and mortgage-backed securities increased to $38.9 million at December 31, 2001 from $29.4 million at September 30, 2001. The increase is primarily a result of the Bank converting $12.2 million in fixed rate loans held for sale to mortgage-backed securities, and is partially offset by scheduled amortization and prepayments. The securitization of fixed rate mortgage loans held for sale continues the Company's practice first begun in fiscal year 2001, which changes the character of such loans to investments from loans. Loans Receivable, and Loans Held-for-sale, net of allowance for loan losses: Net loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, decreased 4.1% to $310.6 million at December 31, 2001 from $323.8 at September 30, 2001, primarily due to the conversion of $12.2 million of the Bank's loans held for sale to mortgage-backed securities and the sale of $17.2 million in fixed rate one-to-four family mortgage loans. As a result of these transactions, one-to-four family mortgage loans in the Company's portfolio decreased by $12.6 million. Real Estate Owned ("REO"): Real estate owned remained constant at $1.0 million for December 31, 2001 as compared to September 30, 2001. 11 Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment increased by $615,000 to $11.3 million at December 31, 2001 from $10.7 million at September 30, 2001. This increase is primarily due to the purchase of a building in Olympia (Pierce County) for a future branch and the acquisition of a building in Hoquiam (Grays Harbor County) for future office space. Deposits: Deposits decreased by 0.7% to $240.8 million at December 31, 2001 from $242.4 million at September 30, 2001, primarily due to a $6.4 million decrease in the Bank's certificate of deposit accounts. The total of certificates of deposit over $100,000 decreased $13.6 million, while certificates under $100,000 increased $7.2 million. With the proceeds from loan sales and the increase in smaller denomination certificates of deposit, the Bank was able to reduce its reliance on the higher rate, larger denomination deposits. This decrease is partially offset by a $3.0 million increase in money market accounts and a $1.7 million increase in N.O.W checking accounts. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Advances: FHLB advances decreased by 4.3% to $66.0 million at December 31, 2001 from $69.0 million at September 30, 2001, as funds from loan sales and loan payoffs were used to pay down the level of advances. Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders' equity decreased by $518,000 to $71.3 million at December 31, 2001 from $71.8 million at September 30, 2001. The components of shareholders' equity were affected by the repurchase of 115,000 shares of the Company's stock for $1.8 million, net income of $1.7 million, the payment of $502,000 in dividends to shareholders, and a $313,000 decrease in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income category. Also affecting shareholders' equity was a $132,000 increase in the equity component related to the unearned shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and a $161,000 increase in the equity component related to unearned shares issued to the Management Recognition and Development Plan. On September 24, 2001 the Company announced a plan to repurchase 200,872 shares of the Company's stock. This marked the Company's ninth 5% stock repurchase plan. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had repurchased 159,000 of these shares. The Company has repurchased a total of 2,363,032 (35.7%) 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 $4.3 million at December 31, 2001 from $5.1 million at September 30, 2001, primarily due to a $774,000 decrease in non-performing loans. The Company's non-performing asset ratio to total asset ratio ("NPA") decreased to 1.14% at December 31, 2001 from 1.32% at September 30, 2001. 12 Non Performing Assets - --------------------- The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company's nonperforming assets at December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001.

Primary factors affecting the improved performance in 2001 were increased net interest income, increased fee income, and increased income related to mortgage loans sold. These increases were partially offset by higher non-interest expenses. Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased 20.3% to $5.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 from $4.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000, primarily due to decreased funding costs. Total interest income decreased slightly to $7.94 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 from $7.96 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000, as the earnings on increased levels of average earning assets helped offset the impact of lower average yields on all categories of earning assets. The yield on earning assets was 8.63% for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to 8.98% for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. Total interest expense decreased $854,000 to $3.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 from $3.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. The average cost of funds for each type of the Bank's deposit accounts and FHLB borrowings for the current quarter were lower than a year ago. The overall cost of funds was 4.06% for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 compared to 5.47% for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. In addition, average borrowings from the FHLB were lower than a year ago, also reducing interest expense. Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2001 was $392,000 compared to $150,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000. Management conducts regular analyses of the Bank's loan portfolio, which it uses to review the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses. The analyses present data on loans by type of loan, internal loan classifications, historical loss percentages, and economic factors considered by management in reviewing the allowance for loan losses. Based on its internal analysis at December 31, 2001 and trends in the loan portfolio - management deemed the allowance for loan 15 losses of $3.4 million (1.07% of loans receivable and loans held for sale and 101.1% 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 $90,000 compared to $22,000 in the same quarter of 2000. Noninterest Income: Total non-interest income increased to $1.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 from $608,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2000, primarily due to a $238,000 increase in service charges on deposits, a $212,000 increase in the gain on sale of loans, and a $117,000 increase in servicing income on loans sold. The increased deposit-related service charge income is primarily a result of the Bank's checking account acquisition program. The change in rate environment from 2000 to 2001 significantly increased the Company's loan origination activity, both from new loans made and from refinancing of existing loans at lower interest rates. With the lower rates, the Bank originated more fixed-rate loans in 2001 than in 2000, resulting in increased loan sales, as the Bank sells most fixed-rate one-to-four family mortgage loans. The increased loan sale gains and servicing income are a result of the Company selling $17.2 million in fixed- rate one-to-four family loans and converting $12.2 million in one-to-four family mortgage loans to mortgage-backed securities during the quarter. Noninterest Expense: Total non-interest expense increased to $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2000. This increase is primarily due to a $430,000 increase in salary and employee benefit expense, a $68,000 increase in premises and equipment expenses, a $64,000 increase in advertising expense, and a $52,000 increase in ATM operating expenses. The increase in salary and employee benefit expense is primarily a result of adding employees to staff the Bank's new branches (Tumwater and Tacoma), hiring additional commercial loan staff to manage the Bank's business banking activities, and expenses associated with the Management Recognition and Development Plan. Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes increased to $936,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from $764,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000 primarily as a result of higher income before income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 35.4% in 2001 compared to 33.2% in 2000. 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. 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 December 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 21.3%. The Bank also maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB-Seattle that provided for immediately available 16 advances up to an aggregate amount of $134.0 million, under which $66.0 million was outstanding at December 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 December 31, 2001, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $26.5 million and undisbursed loans in process totaling $35.9 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 December 31, 2001 totaled $104.3 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 December 31, 2001, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital requirements. For additional details see "Regulatory Capital".
