("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 nine months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 1998, there were 511,366 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 July 23, 1998, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.06 per common share. The dividend is to be paid August 21, 1998, to shareholders of record as of the close of business August 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 the Bank's 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 nine months ended June 30, 1998. Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1998 Total Assets: Total assets increased 24.4% from $211.6 million at September 30, 1997 to $263.1 million at June 30, 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 shares issued to the employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") trust 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 218.0% from $11.4 million at September 30, 1997 to $36.4 million at June 30, 1998. This increase is primarily due to a portion of the stock offering proceeds being invested with financial institutions. Investments and Mortgage-backed Securities: Investments and mortgage-backed securities increased by 408.1% from $5.6 million at September 30, 1997 to $28.3 million at June 30, 1998. This increase is attributable primarily to a portion of the stock offering proceeds being invested into these assets. Loans Receivable, and Loans Held-for-sale, net of allowance for loan loss reserves: Loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, net, increased by 0.7% from $187.0 million at September 30, 1997 to $188.4 million at June 30, 1998. This flat growth is primarily attributable to several large loans paying off and an increase in secondary market sales of fixed rate mortgage loans. During the quarter ended June 30, 1998 loans totaling $8.3 million were sold to Freddie Mac as compared to $3.9 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 $2.5 million at June 30, 1998. This increase is primarily attributable to the Bank accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure on two related condominium loans (with balances totaling $1.6 million at June 30, 1998, down from $3.0 million at March 31, 1998) in Southern King County, Washington. These two loans were classified as "substandard assets" at September 30, 1997. Although no assurances can be given, the Company does not expect to incur a material loss on the disposition of these assets. Deposits: Deposits decreased by 4.5% from $173.0 million at September 30, 1997 to $165.2 million at June 30, 1998. This decrease is primarily attributable to depositors withdrawing approximately $8.0 million from their deposit accounts to purchase stock in the Company's stock offering. 9 Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders' equity increased 245.5% from $24.6 million at September 30, 1997 to $85.1 million at June 30, 1998, primarily as a result of the $65.0 million in net proceeds raised from the January 1998 stock offering and retained net income of $3.3 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 June 30, 1998. At September 30, At June 30, 1997 1998 ---------------- ----------- (Dollars in thousands) Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis: Mortgage loans: One-to-four family $ 776 $ 1,921 Commercial 2,886 2,922 Construction and land development 3,891 73 Land -- 344 Consumer loans 2 45 Commercial Business Loans -- 81 -------- --------- Total 7,555 5,386 Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more: Mortgage loans: Construction and land development 109 226 -------- --------- Total 109 226 Total of nonaccrual and 90 days past due loans $ 7,664 $ 5,612 Real estate owned and other repossessed assets 434 2,533 -------- --------- Total nonperforming assets $ 8,098 $ 8,145 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% 2.95% Nonaccrual and 90 days or more past due loans as a percentage of total assets 3.62% 2.13% Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets 3.83% 3.10% Loans receivable, (including loans held for sale) (1) $188,743 $ 190,113 -------- --------- Total assets $211,553 $ 263,112 -------- --------- - --------- (1) Loans receivable is before the allowance for loan losses 10 The following is a discussion of the Bank's major problem assets at June 30, 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 June 30, 1998. These loans became delinquent primarily because of a dispute between the two borrowers. These loans were classified as "substandard" at June 30, 1998. The Bank initiated foreclosure proceedings which were stayed due to a bankruptcy filing by the borrowers in January of 1998. Attorneys representing the Bank are moving to have the stay lifted to enable foreclosure to proceed. 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 $1.6 million at June 30, 1998. The Bank has been actively marketing the project and, as of August 10, 1998, had accepted earnest money agreements for 25 of the 30 units. As of August 10, 1998, nineteen of these sales had closed and the remaining REO balance was $1.1 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.

Basic earnings per share for the current quarter was $.24. 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 43.1% from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Total interest income increased 19.0% from $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increases are primarily the result of a $432,000 increase in interest from financial institutions and a $306,000 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 being invested in those assets. Total interest expense decreased 2.6% from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998, primarily due to a decrease in interest expense associated with deposits due to lower average deposit balances for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses decreased from $116,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $45,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Management decreased the provision for loan losses because it deemed the general loan loss reserves of $1.7 million at June 30, 1998 (.91% of loans receivable, net and 30.9% 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. Noninterest Income: Total noninterest income increased 40.7% from $297,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $418,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The largest portion of this increase was attributable to a $43,000 increase in escrow fees and a $41,000 increase in servicing income on loans sold. These increases are due to increased escrow activity and a larger volume of fixed rate loans being sold to FHLMC. Increases in gain on sale of loans and miscellaneous fees account for the remaining portion of the increase. Noninterest Expense: Total noninterest expense increased 26.4% from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The largest portion of this increase is a result of increased salary and employee benefit expense which increased from $753,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $936,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The release of ESOP shares accounted for $57,000 of the increased compensation expense. The remaining portion of the increased compensation expense is a result of adding additional employees, normal cost of living increases for current employees and increased health insurance costs. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased from 84 at June 30, 1997 to 97 at June 30, 1998 as a result of restructuring the loan origination department and the loan servicing department, hiring additional personnel for the Auburn Escrow department, elevating several part-time positions to full-time positions, and hiring an individual to assist in preparing the reports required of the Company as a public company Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes increased from $447,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $742,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 primarily as a result of higher income before income taxes. 13 Comparison of Operating Results for Nine Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1998: Net Income: Net income increased 43.9% from $2.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 to $3.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. Basic earnings per share for the nine months was $.60. 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 27.0% from $7.1 million for nine months ended June 30, 1997 to $9.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. Total interest income increased 14.0% from $13.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 to $15.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The increases are primarily a result of an $1.3 million increase in interest from financial institutions and a $438,000 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 being invested in those assets. Total interest expense remained level at $6.2 million for both the nine months June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1998. Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses decreased 53.6% from $334,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 to $155,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. Management decreased the provision for loan losses because it deemed the general loan loss reserves of $1.7 million at June 30, 1998 (.91% of loans receivable, net and 30.9% of non-performing loans) 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 $836,000 for the nine months June 30, 1997 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The largest portion of this increase is attributable to a $132,000 increase in servicing income on loans sold and to a $91,000 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 account for the remaining portion of the increase. Noninterest Expense: Total noninterest expense increased 25.8% from $3.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 to $4.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The largest portion of this increase is a result of increased salary and employee benefit expense which increased from $2.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 to $2.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The release of ESOP shares accounted for $170,000 of the increased compensation expense. The remaining portion of the increased compensation expense is a result of adding additional employees, normal cost of living increases for current employees and increased health insurance costs. The number of full-time equivalent employees increased from 84 at June 30, 1997 to 97 at June 30, 1998 as a result of restructuring the loan origination department and the loan servicing department, hiring additional personnel for the Auburn Escrow department, elevating several part-time positions to full-time positions, and hiring an individual to assist in preparing the reports required of the Company as a public company. Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes increased from $1.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 primarily as a result of higher income before income taxes. 14 Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on and 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 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 June 30, 1998, 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 25.2%. At June 30, 1998, the Bank also maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB-Seattle that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate amount of $47.6 million, under which $11.6 million was outstanding. 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 June 30, 1998, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $13.6 million and undisbursed loans in process totaling $21.6 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 June 30, 1998 totaled $70.9 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 June 30, 1998, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital requirements. For additional details see the Regulatory Capital table. 15 Regulatory Capital - ------------------ The following table compares Timberland Savings Bank's regulatory capital at June 30, 1998 to its minimum regulatory capital requirements at that date (dollars in thousands): Percent of Amount Adjusted Total Assets (1) ------ ------------------------- GAAP capital $ 52,461 22.03% Tier 1 (leverage) capital $ 52,449 22.17% Tier 1 (leverage) capital requirement 9,464 4.00 -------- ----- Excess 42,985 18.17% Tier 1 risk adjusted capital $ 52,449 32.02% Tier 1 risk adjusted capital requirement 6,392 4.00 -------- ----- Excess $ 46,057 28.82% Total risk based capital $ 52,449 32.82% Total risk based capital requirement 12,784 8.00 -------- ----- Excess 39,665 24.82% ___________________ (1) For the Tier 1 (leverage) capital and Washington regulatory capital calculations, percent of total average assets of $236.6 million.

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. Currently the Bank is on schedule to have all Year 2000 issues resolved. If the Bank is unable to confirm Year 2000 compliance on its main internal system for all regulatory specified testing dates by September 30, 1998, a conversion to Jack Henry & Associates' system (which is already Year 2000 compliant) will be pursued. If we do not receive confirmation of Year 2000 compliance from third party vendors by December 31, 1998, a conversion to comparable software will be pursued. 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. 17 Item 3.
