("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 and six months ended March 31, 1998 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 Savings Bank, S.S.B. ("Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Timberland Service Corp. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. (2) CONVERSION AND REORGANIZATION On January 12, 1998, the Bank converted from a Washington-chartered mutual savings bank to a Washington-chartered capital stock savings bank and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The stock conversion resulted in the sale and issuance by the Company of 6,612,500 shares of $.01 par value common stock at a price of $10.00 per share which resulted in gross proceeds of $66,125,000. After reducing gross proceeds for conversion costs of $1,175,000, net proceeds totaled $64,950,000. In conjunction with the conversion, the Company loaned $7,930,307 to the Bank's employee stock ownership plan for the purchase of 529,000 shares of common stock in the open market immediately following the completion of the stock conversion. (3) EARNINGS PER SHARE The basic earnings per share amounts were computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. In accordance with Statement of Position No. 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, shares owned by the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan that have not been committed to be released are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing earnings per share. At March 31, 1998, there were 520,183 shares that had not been committed to be released. Diluted earnings per share is not applicable because the Company had no common stock equivalents outstanding. (4) DIVIDEND On April 27, 1998, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.06 per common share. The dividend is to be paid May 21, 1998, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business May 7, 1998. (5) ACCOUNTING CHANGES Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. In November 1993 the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued SOP 93-6, which requires an employer to record compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of shares committed to be released to employees from an employee stock ownership plan and to exclude unearned shares from earnings per share computations. The effect of SOP 93-6 on net income and book value per share in future periods cannot be predicted due to the uncertainty of the fair value of the shares at the time they will be committed to be released. Subsequent to the Bank's conversion to stock 8 ownership on January 12, 1998, the Company acquired 529,000 shares for the Bank's employee stock ownership plan. Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," issued in February 1997, establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly-held common stock or potential common stock. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS and requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 128 is effective for the financial statements for the periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS No. 128 requires restatement of all prior period EPS data presented. Subsequent to its conversion to stock ownership on January 12, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128 for all future periods. 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 and six months ended March 31, 1998. Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 1997 and March 31, 1998 Total Assets: Total assets increased 23.6% from $211.6 million at September 30, 1997 to $261.4 million at March 31, 1998, primarily as a result of the January 1998 stock offering which resulted net proceeds of $65.0 million. A portion of this increase was offset by $7.8 million in unearned ESOP shares and approximately $8.0 million in funds withdrawn from deposit accounts to purchase stock. Cash and Due from Financial Institutions: Cash and due from financial institutions increased by 232.1% from $11.4 million at September 30, 1997 to $38.0 million at March 31, 1998. This increase was primarily due to a portion of the stock offering proceeds that were invested with financial institutions. Investments and Mortgage-backed Securities: Investments and mortgage-backed securities increased by 371.7% from $5.6 million at September 30, 1997 to $26.3 million at March 31, 1998. This increase was primarily due to a portion of the stock offering proceeds that were invested into these assests. Loans Receivable, including Loans Held-for-sale, net: Loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, net, decreased by 0.7% from $187.0 million at September 30, 1997 to $185.8 million at March 31, 1998. This decrease was primarily attributable to several large loans paying off and an increase in secondary market sales. During the quarter ended March 31, 1998 loans totaling $9.5 million were sold to Freddie Mac as compared to $4.1 million sold during the same period last year. Other Real Estate Owned, net: Other real estate owned, net, increased from $434,000 at September 30, 1997 to $4.0 million at March 31, 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to the Bank accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure on two related condominium loans (with balances totaling $3.0 million at March 31, 1998) in Southern King County, Washington. These two loans were classified as "substandard assets" at September 30, 1997. The Bank expects no material loss on the disposition of these assets. Deposits: Deposits decreased by 5.2% from $173.0 million at September 30, 1997 to $164.0 million at March 31, 1998. This decrease was primarily attributable to depositors withdrawing approximately $8.0 million from their deposit accounts to purchase stock in the Company's stock offering. Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders' equity increased from $24.6 million at September 30, 1997 to $84.0 million at March 31, 1998, primarily as a result of the $65.0 million in net proceeds raised from the January 1998 9 stock offering and retained net income of $2.2 million. The net proceeds are offset by $7.8 million in unearned shares purchased for the ESOP trust. Non Performing Assets - --------------------- The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank's non performing assets at September 30, 1997 and March 31, 1998. At September 30, At March 31, 1997 1998 ---------------- ------------ (Dollars in thousands) Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family $ 776 $ 1,751 Commercial 2,886 2,927 Construction and land development 3,891 120 Land -- 353 Consumer loans 2 63 Commercial Business Loans -- 81 -------- --------- Total 7,555 5,295 Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more: Mortgage loans: Construction and land development 109 356 Total 109 356 -------- --------- Total of nonaccrual and 90 days past due loans $ 7,664 $ 5,651 Real estate owned and other repossessed assets 434 3,956 -------- --------- Total nonperforming assets $ 8,098 $ 9,607 Restructured loans 70 -- Nonaccrual and 90 days or more past due loans as a percentage of loans receivable, (including loans held for sale)(1) 4.06% 3.01% Nonaccrual and 90 days or more past due loans as a percentage of total assets 3.62% 2.16% Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets 3.83% 3.67% Loans receivable, (including loans held for sale) (1) $188,743 187,514 -------- --------- Total assets $211,553 $ 261,446 - -------------- -------- -------- (1) Loans receivable is not net of allowance for loan loss reserves 10 The following is a discussion of the Bank's major problem assets at March 31, 1998: Convenience store/retail space and mini-storage, Kitsap County, Washington. The Bank has two loans that were originated in 1996 on two separate properties: a convenience store combined with retail space and a 436 unit mini storage facility. These two loans had a combined balance of $2.9 million at March 31, 1998. These loans became delinquent primarily because of a dispute between the two borrowers. These loans were classified as "substandard" at March 31, 1998. The Bank initiated foreclosure proceedings which were stayed due to a bankruptcy filing by the borrowers in January of 1998. Although no assurances can be given, the Bank does not expect to incur any material loss on these two loans. Real Estate Owned: Condominiums, Southern King County, Washington. The Bank accepted a deed in lieu of foreclosure on two delinquent loans for the construction and sale of a 61-unit condominium complex. These loans were classified as "substandard" at September 30, 1997 and had a balance of $2.9 million. They were classified by the Bank as "Other Real Estate Owned" of $3.0 million at March 31, 1998. The Bank has been actively marketing the project and as of May 11, 1998 had accepted earnest money agreements for 21 of the 30 units with aggregate sale prices of $2.6 million. As of May 11, 1998, nine of these sales had closed and the remaining REO balance was $2.3 million. The Bank does not expect to incur any material losses on the disposition of these assets based on the prices at which the units are selling. 11 Loans Receivable - ---------------- The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio by type of loan. At September 30, At March 31, 1997 1998 Amount Percent Amount Percent ------------------- --------------------- (Dollars In thousands) Mortgage Loans: One-to-four family (1) $ 100,127 48.76% $ 101,281 49.27% Multi family 12,178 5.93 13,061 6.35 Commercial 29,410 14.32 30,792 14.98 Construction and land development 45,031 21.93 41,082 19.98 Land 6,937 3.38 7,150 3.48 Total mortgage loans 193,683 94.32 193,366 94.06 Consumer Loans: Home equity and second mortgage 8,142 3.97 8,103 3.94 Other 2,824 1.37 3,446 1.68 --------- ------ -------- ------ 10,966 5.34 11,549 5.62 Commercial business loans 694 .34 670 .32 Total loans 205,343 100.00% 205,585 100.00% ------ ------ Less: Undisbursed portion of loans in process (14,280) (16,284) Unearned income (1,761) (1,786) Allowance for loan losses (1,716) (1,747) Market value adjustment of loans held-for-sale (19) (1) -------- -------- Total loans receivable, net $187,027 $185,767 -------- -------- - ---------------- (1) Includes loans held-for-sale. 12 Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 Net Income: Net income increased 68.2% from $841,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Basic earnings per share for the current quarter was $.23. Earnings per share for the prior comparative period is not applicable because the Company had no stock issued and outstanding at that time. Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased 36.3% from $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Total interest income increased 18.2% from $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increases were primarily the result of a $644,000 increase in interest from financial institutions and a $151,000 increase in interest from investments and mortgage-backed securities. The Company had higher balances in interest bearing deposits at financial institutions and investment securities due to net proceeds from the stock conversion that were invested in those assests. Total interest expense decreased 2.6% from $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998, primarily due a decrease in interest expense associated with Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses decreased from $131,000 for the three months ended March 31,1997 to $50,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Management decreased the provision for loan losses because it deemed the general loan loss reserves of $1.7 million at March 31, 1998 (.93% of loans receivable, net and 30.9% of non-performing loans) were adequate to provide for estimated losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date. Noninterest Income: Total noninterest income increased 49.1% from $307,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $457,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The largest portion of this increase was attributable to a $70,000 increase in gain on sale of loans and a $45,000 increase in servicing income on loans sold. These increases were due to a larger volume of fixed rate loans being sold in the secondary market. Increases in escrow fees and miscellaneous fees accounted for the remaining portion of the increase. Noninterest Expense: Total noninterest expense increased 25.4% from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The largest portion of this increase is a result of increased salary and employee benefit expense which increased from $698,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $972,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The first release of ESOP shares accounted for $113,000 of the increased compensation expense. The remaining portion of the increased compensation expense was a result of adding additional employees and normal cost of living increases for current employees. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased from 82 at March 31, 1997 to 91 at March 31, 1998 as a result of opening the Lacey branch, restaffing the Port Orchard loan center, hiring a marketing director and several other individuals to handle the requirements associated with being a public company. Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes increased from $502,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $716,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 primarily as a result of higher income before income taxes. 13 Comparison of Operating Results for Six Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1998: Net Income: Net income increased 31.4% from $1.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $2.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998. Basic earnings per share for the six months was $.36. Earnings per share for the prior comparative period is not applicable because the Company had no stock issued and outstanding at that time. Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased 19.0% from $4.8 million for six months ended March 31, 1997 to $5.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998. Total interest income increased 11.5% from $8.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $9.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998. The increases were primarily a result of an $840,000 increase in interest from financial instutions and a $132,000 increase in interest from investments and mortgage-backed securities. The Company had higher balances in interest bearing deposits at financial instutions and investment securities due to net proceeds from the stock conversion that were invested in those assets. Total interest expense increased 2.9% from $4.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $4.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998 due to increased deposit balances in December 1997 and January 1998 due to funds received for stock orders. The interest expense associated with these temporary increases in deposit accounts was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense associated with the repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses decreased 49.7% from $219,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $110,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. Management decreased the provision for loan losses because it deemed the general loan loss reserves of $1.7 million at March 31,1998 (.93% of loans receivable, net and 30.9% of non-performing loans) were adequate to provide for estimated losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the portfolio at that date. Noninterest Income: Total noninterest income increased 44.8% from $539,000 for the six months March 31, 1997 to $781,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. The largest portion of this increase was attributable to a $92,000 increase in servicing income on loans sold and to a $74,000 increase in gain of sale of loans. These increases were primarily due to a larger volume of fixed rate loans being sold in the secondary market. Increases in escrow fees and miscellaneous fees accounted for the remaining portion of the increase. Noninterest Expense: Total noninterest expense increased 25.5% from $2.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $3.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998. The largest portion of this increase is a result of increased salary and employee benefit expense which increased from $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998. The first release of ESOP shares accounted for $113,000 of the increased compensation expense. The remaining portion of the increased compensation expense was a result of adding additional employees and normal cost of living increases for current employees. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased from 82 at March 31, 1997 to 91 at March 31, 1998 as a result of opening the Lacey branch, restaffing the Port Orchard loan center, hiring a marketing director and several other individuals to handle the requirements associated with being a public company. Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes increased for $986,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998 primarily as a result of higher income before income taxes. 14 Year 2000 Issues - ---------------- The Bank has an in-house data processing department which maintains the Bank's main system, an IBM AS400. The Bank also uses software purchased from third party vendors for applications such as accounts payable and fixed assets. As with other organizations, many of the data processing programs were originally designed to recognize calendar years by their last two digits. Calculations performed using these truncated fields will not work properly with dates beyond 1999. The Bank has established a committee to address "Year 2000" issues. The data processing department also submits monthly progress reports on Year 2000 issues to the Board of Directors. As of March 31, 1998, the Bank's data processing department had completed approximately 75% of the total Year 2000 compliance issues. The Company believes that the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems and is not anticipated to be material to its financial position or results of operations in any given year.
