(NASDAQ: TSBK) ("Timberland" or "the Company") today reported fiscal fourth quarter net income of $47,000, or $0.01 per diluted common share. Income available to common shareholders after adjusting for the preferred stock dividend and the preferred stock discount accretion was a loss of $(209,000), or $(0.03) per diluted common share. This compares to net income of $1.35 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and net income available to common shareholders of $769,000, or $0.12 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. For fiscal 2009, the Company reported net income of $73,000. Income available to common shareholders after adjusting for the preferred stock dividend and the preferred stock discount accretion was a loss of $(699,000), or $(0.17) per diluted common share.

The Board of Directors of Timberland also announced that a cash dividend of $0.03 per common share would be paid on November 29, 2009 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2009.

While our total exposure to construction related credits decreased 25% from September 30, 2008 the decrease in residential speculative construction credits decreased by 45%," Sand stated. "We continue to work through the problem loans in our portfolio. During the quarter we sold nine OREO properties representing $2.1 million of the June 30, 2009 OREO balance. Our capital remains exceptionally strong with total risk based capital of 15.94%." "We are well positioned to manage through the remainder of the economic downturn affecting the Northwest," Sand also stated. Timberland Q4 Earnings November 6, 2009 Page 2 Capital Ratios and Asset Quality Timberland Bancorp remains very well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.94% and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.29% at September 30, 2009. The tangible capital to tangible assets ratio was 11.73% on the same date. The non-performing assets ("NPAs") to total assets ratio was 5.40% at September 30, 2009 compared to 4.88% at June 30, 2009. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009 net charge-offs were $1.47 million compared to $609,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Timberland recorded a $3.24 million provision to its allowance for loan losses during the current quarter. The allowance for loan losses totaled $14.2 million at September 30, 2009, or 2.52% of total loans compared to $12.4 million, or 2.23% of loans receivable at June 30, 2009 and $8.1 million, or 1.42% of loans receivable one year ago. Non-performing loans ("NPLs") increased to $29.3 million at September 30, 2009 from $25.1 million at June 30, 2009 and were comprised of 63 loans and 49 credit relationships. Included in the NPLs are: * 8- Land development loans totaling $8.80 million of which the largest has a balance of $2.24 million * 17 - Land loans totaling $5.35 million of which the largest has a balance of $977,000 * 7 - Commercial real estate loans totaling $5.00 million of which the largest has a balance of $1.65 million * 2 - Condominium construction loans totaling $4.37 million of which the largest has a balance of $3.74 million * 8 - One-to-four family spec construction loans totaling $3.48 million of which the largest has a balance of $791,000 * 7 - One-to-four family home loans totaling $1.34 million of which the largest loan has a balance of $315,000 * 3 - One-to-four family owner / builder construction loans totaling $628,000 of which the largest has a balance of $270,000 * 6 - Second mortgage loans secured by liens on one-to-four family homes totaling $205,000 of which the largest loan has a balance of $56,000 * 2 - Commercial business loans totaling $65,000 * 3 - Consumer loans totaling $53,000 Net charge-offs totaled $1.47 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and included the following: * $481,000 on two land development loans * $312,000 on five land loans * $295,000 on a condominium construction loan * $234,000 on two commercial real estate loans * $69,000 on two speculative construction loans * $62,000 on a home equity loan * $12,000 on three single family home loans Other real estate owned ("OREO") totaled $8.19 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $7.70 million at June 30, 2009. The balance was comprised of 26 individual properties representing 14 relationships. During the quarter nine OREO properties were sold. These nine OREO properties represented $2.16 million of the OREO balance reported at June 30, 2009. Six additional OREO properties have earnest money agreements which, if closed, will result in a $1.4 million reduction in the OREO balance. The largest OREO property has a balance of $2.31 million and consists of a 78 lot plat located in Richland, Washington. The Richland/Kennewick/Pasco market is currently one of Washington State's better performing economic areas. Timberland continues to actively manage the disposition of OREO properties and has observed increased buyer interest in OREO properties. Balance Sheet Management Total assets increased by 4% during the quarter to $702.5 million at September 30, 2009 from $675.5 million at June 30, 2009. The $27.1 million increase in total assets was primarily a result of a $25.7 million increase in cash equivalents and a $1.4 million increase in net loans receivable. The Company continues to maintain a high level of liquidity, both on balance sheet and through off-balance sheet access to funds. Liquidity as measured by cash equivalents and available for sale investments securities to liabilities increased to 13.5% at September 30, 2009, from 9.9% one year ago. Timberland Q4 Earnings November 6, 2009 Page 3 Net loans receivable increased by $1.4 million during the quarter to $547.2 million at September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a $9.3 million increase in commercial real estate loans, which was partially offset by a $2.3 million decrease in construction and land development loans. "We continue to improve the mix of loans in our portfolio," said Dean Brydon, Chief Financial Officer. "We have reduced our exposure to construction and land development loans by $47 million, year over year." During the current quarter the one-to-four family speculative construction portfolio decreased by 12% and the land development portfolio decreased by 7%. During the full fiscal year, the one-to-four family speculative construction portfolio decreased by 45% and the land development portfolio decreased by 32%. "Overall, we have reduced our total exposure to construction and land development loans by 25% from one year ago," Brydon added.

Loan originations totaled $49.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 compared to $94.8 million for the preceding quarter and $50.0 million for the quarter ended one year ago. Timberland continues to sell fixed rate one-to-four family mortgage loans into the secondary market for asset liability management purposes and to generate non-interest income. During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, fixed-rate one-to-four family mortgage loan sales totaled $21.7 million compared to $69.6 million for the preceding quarter and $9.4 million for the quarter ended one year ago. Timberland Q4 Earnings November 6, 2009 Page 4 Timberland's investment securities decreased by $2.2 million during the quarter to $21.9 million at June 30, 2009 from $24.1 million at June 30, 2009, primarily as a result of regular amortization and prepayments and an $857,000 credit related other-than-temporary-impairment ("OTTI") charge on private label mortgage-backed securities that were acquired in the in-kind redemption from the AMF family of mutual funds in June 2008.

Timberland had no true brokered funds in its deposit base at September 30, 2009. The $3.75 million noted as brokered deposits consisted of reciprocal deposits in the Certificate of Deposits Account Registry Service ("CDARS") program. Total shareholders' equity decreased $685,000 to $88.1 million at September 30, 2009, from $88.8 million at June 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily due to the payment of $630,000 in dividends to common and preferred shareholders and a $171,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. These items were partially offset by net income of $47,000. Operating Results Fiscal fourth quarter operating revenue (net interest income before provision for loan losses, plus non-interest income excluding OTTI charges), increased by 2% to $9.0 million compared to $8.9 million in the like quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily a result of increased non-interest income, which was partially offset by a decrease in net interest income. The increased non-interest income was primarily due to a $174,000 increase in gains on sale of loans, a $169,000 valuation recovery on the Bank's mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") and $139,000 in income recorded for property easements sold. In addition, the Bank recorded a $337,000 death claim benefit from its bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") policies. For fiscal 2009, operating revenues (excluding OTTI charges and loss on redemption of mutual funds) increased by 6% to $35.9 million from $33.9 million in fiscal 2008. The increase was primarily a result of increased non-interest income, which was partially offset by a decrease in net interest income. The increased non-interest income was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in gain on sale of loans, an $819,000 increase in fee income on deposit accounts and $139,000 in income for property easements sold. In addition BOLI income was increased due to a $337,000 death claim benefit and a $134,000 gain from moving a number of the Bank's BOLI insurance policies to a new insurance carrier. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased by 9% to $6.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, from $6.8 million for the like quarter one year ago with interest and dividend income decreasing by 11% and interest expense decreasing by 16%. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in loans placed on non-accrual status and margin compression due to the lower interest rate environment. In spite of the challenging interest rate environment, Timberland's net interest margin remained strong at 3.93% for the current quarter; an increase of 7 basis points from 3.86% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and a decrease of 43 basis points from 4.36% for the quarter a year ago. The reversal of interest income on loans placed on non-accrual status during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 reduced the net interest margin by approximately 16 basis points. Timberland Q4 Earnings November 6, 2009 Page 5 For fiscal 2009, net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased by 6% to $25.3 million from $26.9 million in the like period a year ago. Net interest margin for the year was 4.01%, down 40 basis points from one year ago. In the fourth fiscal quarter Timberland recorded a $3.2 million provision to its allowance for loan losses, compared to $1.0 million in the preceding quarter and $1.5 million in the like quarter in the prior fiscal year. For fiscal 2009, the provision for loan losses totaled $10.7 million, compared to $3.9 million for fiscal 2008. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 totaled $1.47 million compared to $609,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and $526,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. For fiscal 2009, net charge-offs were $4.4 million compared to $647,000 for fiscal 2008. Timberland's total operating (non-interest) expenses decreased slightly to $5.39 million for the fourth fiscal quarter from $5.40 million from the like quarter one year ago and decreased by 15% from $6.37 million for the immediately prior quarter. Contributing to the decreased quarterly expense was a capital gain on the sale of bank owned property, which reduced premises and equipment expense by $235,000. The Bank sold a portion of its Edgewood branch office property in lieu of an eminent domain action to facilitate a road widening project in Edgewood, Washington. For fiscal 2009, total operating expenses increased by 12% to $22.7 million from $20.4 million for fiscal 2008. The increased expenses during the current year were primarily due to increased FDIC insurance expenses (including an FDIC special assessment of $300,000), increased OREO related expenses, increased premises and equipment expenses, increase salaries and employee benefits, and increased loan monitoring and collection related expenses. In the fourth fiscal quarter Timberland's federal income tax benefit was increased by approximately $180,000 due to adjustments made to the Company's deferred tax asset valuation allowance for a previously non-deductible capital loss carry forward related to the 2008 mutual fund redemption.
