("Company") were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with 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 six months ended March 31, 2002 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 March 31, 2002, there were 396,750 ESOP shares that had not been allocated.

The dividend is to be paid May 17, 2002, to shareholders of record as of the close of business May 3, 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 and six months ended March 31, 2002. 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 March 31, 2002 and September 30, 2001 Total Assets: Total assets increased by $12.4 million to $398.8 million at March 31, 2002 from $386.3 million at September 30, 2001 primarily as a result of a $20.5 million increase in deposits. The change is primarily reflected in a $23.4 million increase in interest bearing deposits and a $13.2 million decrease in loans held for sale. Cash and Due from Financial Institutions: Cash and due from financial institutions increased to $10.4 million at March 31, 2002 from $10.0 million at September 30, 2001. Interest Bearing Deposits in Banks: Interest bearing deposits in banks increased by $23.4 million to $26.8 million at March 31, 2002 from $3.4 million at September 30, 2001, primarily due to proceeds received from increased customer deposits and the sale of fixed rate one-to-four family mortgage loans. Investments and Mortgage-backed Securities: Investments and mortgage-backed securities increased to $30.3 million at March 31, 2002 from $29.4 million at September 30, 2001. 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 $310.5 million at March 31, 2002 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 $39.9 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 $13.2 million. Real Estate Owned ("REO"): Real estate owned decreased $23,000 to $983,000 for March 31, 2002 from $1.01 million at September 30, 2001. Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment increased by $537,000 to $11.2 million at March 31, 2002 from $10.7 million at September 30, 2001. This increase is primarily due to the purchase of a building in Olympia (Thurston County) for a future branch and the acquisition of a building in Hoquiam (Grays Harbor County) for future office space. 11 Deposits: Deposits increased by 8.4% to $262.8 million at March 31, 2002 from $242.4 million at September 30, 2001, primarily due to an $8.8 million increase in the Bank's money market accounts, a $5.0 million increase in N.O.W checking accounts, a $5.2 million increase in passbook savings accounts and a $2.2 million increase in non-interest bearing accounts. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Advances: FHLB advances decreased by 10.4% to $61.8 million at March 31, 2002 from $69.0 million at September 30, 2001, as funds from increased deposits and loan sales were used to pay down the level of advances. Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders' equity increased by $465,000 to $72.3 million at March 31, 2002 from $71.8 million at September 30, 2001. The components of shareholders' equity were affected by net income of $3.3 million, the repurchase of 156,872 shares of the Company's stock for $2.4 million, the payment of $993,000 in dividends to shareholders, and a $290,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. Also affecting shareholders' equity was a $322,000 decrease in the equity component related to unearned shares issued to the Management Recognition and Development Plan, a $265,000 decrease in the equity component related to the unearned shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and a $201,000 increase to additional paid in capital from the exercise of stock options. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, the Company completed its ninth stock buyback program. The Company has now repurchased 2,404,904 (36.4%) of the 6,612,500 shares that were issued when the Company went public in January 1998. Non-performing Assets: Total non-performing assets remained constant at $4.1 million for March 31, 2002 as compared to September 30, 2001. The Company's non-performing asset ratio to total asset ratio ("NPA") decreased to 1.27% at March 31, 2002 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 March 31, 2002 and September 30, 2001.

Primary factors affecting the improved performance in 2002 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 income for the six months ended March 31, 2002 was $3.34 million or $0.83 per diluted share ($0.85 per basic share) compared to net income of $3.03 million or $0.70 per diluted share ($0.71 per basic share) for the six months ended March 31, 2001. Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased 11.5% to $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, primarily due to decreased funding costs. Total interest expense decreased $826,000 to $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. 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 decreased to 3.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from 5.09% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Total interest income decreased to $7.52 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from $7.85 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, primarily due to a decrease in average yields on all categories of earning assets. The yield on earning assets was 8.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to 8.94% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The impact of lower average yields was, however, partially offset by increased levels of average earning assets. As a result of these changes, net interest margin increased to 5.21% the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from 4.93% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Net interest income increased 15.8 % to $9.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $8.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001, primarily due to decreased funding costs. Interest expense decreased by $1.7 million as the Company's overall cost of funds decreased to 3.87% for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from 5.28% for the six months ended March 31, 2001. Total interest income decreased $343,000 to $15.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $15.8 million for the six months 15 ended March 31, 2001 primarily due to lower average yields on interest earnings assets. Net interest margin was 5.31% for the six months ended March 31, 2002 compared to a net interest margin of 4.80% for the six months ended March 31, 2001. Total interest expense decreased $826,000 to $2.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. For the six months ended March 31, 2002 total interest expense decreased by $1.7 million to $5.7 million as compared to $7.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001. The average cost of funds for each type of the Bank's deposit accounts and FHLB borrowings for the current six months were lower than a year ago. 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 March 31, 2002 and 2001 was $200,000 in each period. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended March 31, 2002 was $592,000 compared to $350,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2001. 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 March 31, 2002 and trends in the loan portfolio - management deemed the allowance for loan losses of $3.5 million at March 31, 2002 (1.10% of loans receivable and loans held for sale and 84.9% 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. The allowance for loan losses was $3.1 million (.93% of loans receivable and loans held for sale) at September 30, 2001 and $2.8 million (.89% of loans receivable and loans held for sale) at March 31, 2001. Net charge-offs for the current quarter were $102,000 compared to $135,000 in the same quarter of 2001. For the six months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, net charge-offs were $192,000 and $157,000, respectively. Noninterest Income: Total non-interest income increased to $1.05 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 from $798,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, primarily due to a $153,000 increase in service charges on deposits, a $137,000 increase in the gain on sale of loans, and an $84,000 increase in servicing income on loans sold. These increases were partially offset by a $247,000 decrease in gain on sale of securities. The increased deposit-related service charge income is primarily a result of the Bank's checking account acquisition program. The change in rate environment during the previous year 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 the quarter ended March 31, 2002 than in the same quarter a year ago. This resulted 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 $23.9 million in fixed-rate one-to-four family loans during the quarter. For the six months ended March 31, 2002 non-interest income increased $802,000 to $2.2 million from $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001. This increase is primarily due to a $391,000 increase in service charges on deposits, a $349,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, a $202,000 increase in servicing income on loans sold and was partially offset by a $244,000 decrease in gain on sale of securities. Noninterest Expense: Total non-interest expense increased to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. This increase is primarily due to a $401,000 increase in salary and employee benefit expense, a $106,000 increase in premises and equipment expenses, a $62,000 increase in ATM operating expenses, and is partially offset by a $294,000 decrease in REO operation 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 16 manage the Bank's business banking activities, and expenses associated with the Management Recognition and Development Plan. Total non-interest expense increased $1.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2002 compared to 2001, essentially related to the same factors that affected non-interest expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2001. At March 31, 2002, the number of full-time equivalent employees was 149 compared to 134 at March 31, 2001. Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes increased to $1.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2002 from $1.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001 primarily as a result of higher income before income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 35.4% in 2002 compared to 33.1% in 2001. 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 March 31, 2002, 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 26.7%. The Bank also maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB-Seattle that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate amount of $134.0 million, under which $61.8 million was outstanding at March 31, 2002. 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, 2002, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $24.7 million and undisbursed loans in process totaling $31.3 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, 2002 totaled $107.8 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 17 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, 2002, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital requirements. For additional details see "Regulatory Capital".
