Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)  Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements for Timberland Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America ("GAAP") 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 GAAP.  However, all adjustments, which are in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.  All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009 ("2009 Form 10-K").
The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire
fiscal year.

(b)  Principles of Consolidation:  The interim condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Timberland Bank ("Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Timberland Service Corp.   All significant inter-company balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.

(c) Operating Segment:  The Company has one reportable operating segment which
is defined as community banking in western Washington under the operating name
Timberland Bank.

(d)  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

(e) Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
December 31, 2009 presentation with no change to net income or total
shareholders' equity previously reported.  Additional paid-in capital and
stock warrants, which were previously reported as separate components in the
shareholders' equity section are now reported as part of common stock and
preferred stock.

(2) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the
balance sheet date of December 31, 2009 through February 5, 2010.

On January 28, 2010, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.01
per common share, payable February 26, 2010, to shareholders of record as of
the close of business on February 15, 2010.

On February 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
(the "FRB MOU") with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco ("FRB").  The
terms of the FRB MOU restrict the Company from certain activities, and require
the Company to obtain prior written approval, or non-objection, of the FRB to
engage in certain activities, including the payment of cash dividends.  For
additional information regarding the FRB MOU, see "Item 1A, Risk Factors   The
Company and the Bank are required to comply with terms of separate memorandums
of understanding issued by their respective regulators and lack of compliance
could result in additional regulatory actions."

(3) U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT'S CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM
On December 23, 2008, the Company received $16.64 million from the U.S.
Treasury Department ("Treasury") as a part of the Treasury's Capital Purchase
Program.  The Company sold $16.64 million in senior preferred stock, with a
related warrant to purchase 370,899 shares of the Company's common stock at a
price of $6.73 per share at any time during the next ten years.  The
transaction is part of the Treasury's program to encourage qualified financial
institutions to build capital to increase the flow of financing to businesses
and consumers and to support the U.S. economy.  The preferred stock pays a
5.0% dividend for the first five years, after which the rate increases to 9.0%
if the preferred shares are not redeemed by the Company.

Preferred stock callable at the option of the Company is initially recorded at
the amount of proceeds received.  Any discount from the liquidation value is
accreted to the expected call date and charged to retained earnings.  This
accretion is recorded using the level-yield method.  Preferred dividends paid
(declared and accrued) and any accretion is deducted from net income for
computing income available to common shareholders and earnings per share
computations.

During the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company recorded
net OTTI charges through earnings on residential mortgage-backed securities of
$336,000 and $1.17 million.  As discussed later in Note 10, effective January
1, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which
provides for the bifurcation of OTTI into (i) amounts related to credit losses
which are recognized through earnings, and (ii) amounts related to all other
factors which are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income.

To determine the component of the gross OTTI related to credit losses, the
Company compared the amortized cost basis of each OTTI security to the present
value of its revised expected cash flows, discounted using its pre-impairment
yield.  The revised expected cash flow estimates for individual securities are
based primarily on an analysis of default rates, prepayment speeds and
third-party analytic reports.  Significant judgment of management is required
in this analysis that includes, but is not limited to, assumptions regarding
the collectability of principal and interest, net of related expenses, on the
underlying loans.  The following table presents a summary of the significant
inputs utilized to measure management's estimate of the credit loss component
on OTTI securities as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009:

There were no gross realized gains on sale of securities for the three months
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  During the three months ended December 31,
2009 the Company recorded a $195,000 realized loss (as a result of the
securities being deemed worthless) on seven held to maturity residential
mortgage-backed securities of which $147,000 had been recognized previously as
a credit loss.  During the three months ended December 31, 2008 there were no
gross realized losses on available for sale or held to maturity securities.

Residential mortgage-backed and agency securities pledged as collateral for
public fund deposits, federal treasury tax and loan deposits, FHLB collateral,
retail repurchase agreements and other non-profit organization deposits
totaled $15.45 million and $16.40 million at December 31, 2009 and September
30, 2009, respectively.

The contractual maturities of debt securities at December 31, 2009 are as
follows (in thousands).  Expected maturities may differ from scheduled
maturities as a result of the prepayment of principal or call provisions.

(5) FHLB STOCK
The Company views its investment in the Seattle FHLB stock as a long-term
investment.  Accordingly, when evaluating for impairment, the value is
determined based on the ultimate recovery of the par value rather than
recognizing temporary declines in value.  The determination of whether a
decline affects the ultimate recovery is influenced by criteria such as: 1)
the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the
capital stock amount and length of time a decline has persisted; 2) the impact
of legislative and regulatory changes on the FHLB and 3) the liquidity
position of the FHLB.  As of September 30, 2009, the Seattle FHLB reported
that it had met all of its regulatory capital requirements, but remained
classified as undercapitalized by its regulator, the Federal Housing Finance
Agency.  The FHLB will not pay a dividend or repurchase capital stock while it
is classified as undercapitalized.  While the FHLB was classified as
undercapitalized as of September 30, 2009, the Company does not believe that
its investment in the FHLB is impaired.  However, this estimate could change
in the near term if: 1) significant other-than-temporary losses are incurred
on the FHLB's mortgage-backed securities causing a significant decline in its
regulatory capital status; 2) the economic losses resulting from credit
deterioration on the FHLB's mortgage-backed securities increases significantly
or 3) capital preservation strategies being utilized by the FHLB become
ineffective.  As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the FHLB
of Seattle has not reported its results for the quarter ended December 31,
2009.

Impaired Loans
--------------
A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Bank will be unable
to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance
with the terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans are measured based on
the fair value of the collateral if the loan is considered collateral
dependent.  Impaired loans not considered to be collateral dependent are
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows.

The categories of non-accrual loans and impaired loans overlap, although they
are not coextensive.  The Bank considers all circumstances regarding the loan
and borrower on an individual basis when determining whether an impaired loan
should be placed on non-accrual status, such as the financial strength of the
borrower, the collateral value, reasons for the delay, payment record, the
amount past due and the number of days past due.

(7) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income
(loss) available for common stock by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items.
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available for 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 outstanding warrants to
purchase common stock.  In accordance with FASB guidance for stock
compensation, shares owned by the Bank's ESOP that have not been allocated are
not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing earnings per
share.  At December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were 331,094 and 370,294 ESOP
shares, respectively, that had not been allocated.

The following table is in thousands, except for share and per share data:

(1)  For the three months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
options to purchase 187,799 and 168,864 shares of common stock, respectively,
were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
common share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the
average market price of the common stock and, therefore, their effect would
have been anti-dilutive.
(2) For the three months ended December 31, 2009, warrants to purchase 370,899
shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per common share because the warrant's exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the common stock and, therefore,
their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  There were no warrants to
purchase shares of common stock excluded from the computation of dilutive
earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2008.

(8) STOCK PLANS AND STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans
------------------
Under the Company's stock option plans (the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the
2003 Stock Option Plan), the Company was able to grant options for up to a
combined total of 1,622,500 shares of common stock to employees, officers and
directors.  Shares issued may be purchased in the open market or may be issued
from authorized and unissued shares.  The exercise price of each option equals
the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.
Generally, options vest in 20% annual installments on each of the five
anniversaries from the date of the grant.  At December 31, 2009, options for
249,738 shares are available for future grant under the 2003 Stock Option Plan
and no shares are available for future grant under the 1999 Stock Option Plan.

Following is activity under the plans:

Stock Grant Plans
-----------------
The Company adopted the Management Recognition and Development Plan ("MRDP")
in 1998 for the benefit of employees, officers and directors of the Company.
The objective of the MRDP is to retain and attract personnel of experience and
ability in key positions by providing them with a proprietary interest in the
Company.

The MRDP allowed for the issuance to participants of up to 529,000 shares of
the Company's common stock.  Awards under the MRDP are made in the form of
restricted shares of common stock that are subject to restrictions on the
transfer of ownership.  Compensation expense in the amount of the fair value
of the common stock at the date of the grant to the plan participants is
recognized over a five-year vesting period, with 20% vesting on each of the
five anniversaries from the date of the grant.

There were no MRDP shares granted to officers and directors during the three
months ended December 31, 2009.  During the three months ended December 31,
2008 the Company awarded 19,758 MRDP shares to officers and directors.  These
shares had a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.01 per share.

At December 31, 2009, there were a total of 42,427 unvested MRDP shares with
an aggregated grant date fair value of $501,000.  There were 7,431 MRDP shares
that vested during the three months ended December 31, 2009 with an aggregated
grant date fair value of $81,000.  At December 31, 2009, there were no shares
available for future awards under the MRDP.

(9) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


The FASB Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires
disclosure of estimated fair values for financial instruments.  Such estimates
are subjective in nature, and significant judgment is required regarding the
risk characteristics of various financial instruments at a discrete point in
time.  Therefore, such estimates could vary significantly if assumptions
regarding uncertain factors were to change.  Major assumptions, methods and
fair value estimates for the Company's significant financial instruments are
set forth below:

     Cash and Due from Financial Institutions, Interest-Bearing Deposits in
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Banks, and Federal Funds Sold
     -----------------------------
     The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or re-price
     frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair
     value equal to the recorded value.

     Certificate of Deposits Held for Investment
     -------------------------------------------
     The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or re-price
     frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair
     value equal to the recorded value.

     Investments and Mortgage-Backed Securities
     ------------------------------------------
     The fair value of investments and mortgage-backed securities are based
     upon the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the
     security.  Such assumptions include observable and unobservable
     inputs such as quoted market prices, dealer quotes, or discounted cash
     flows.

     Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
     ----------------------------
     FHLB stock is not publically traded, however the recorded value of the
     stock holdings approximates the fair value, as the FHLB is required to
     pay par value upon re-acquiring this stock.

     Loans Receivable
     ----------------
     Fair value of loans at December 31, 2009 is estimated based on comparable
     market statistics.  Loan portfolio sales reported by the FDIC for the
     period October 1, 2007 through December 31, 2009 were used as the basis
     for comparable market statistics.

     Loans Held for Sale
     -------------------
     The fair value has been based on quoted market prices obtained from the
     Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

     Deposits
     --------
     The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity date is included at
     the amount payable on demand.  The fair value of fixed maturity
     certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future cash flows
     using the rates currently offered by the Bank for deposits of similar
     remaining maturities.

     Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
     -------------------------------
     The fair value of borrowed funds is estimated by discounting the future
     cash flows of the borrowings at a rate which approximates the current
     offering rate of the borrowings with a comparable remaining life.

     Federal Reserve Bank Advances
     -----------------------------
     The recorded value of Federal Reserve Bank advances approximates the fair
     value due to the short-term nature of the borrowings.

     Other Borrowings: Repurchase Agreements
     ---------------------------------------
     The recorded value of repurchase agreements approximates fair value due
     to the short-term nature of the borrowings.

     Accrued Interest
     ----------------
     The recorded amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

     Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs")
     ---------------------------------
     The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights was determined using a
     model, which incorporates the expected life of the loans, estimated cost
     to service the loans, servicing fees received and other factors.
     The Company calculates MSRs fair value by stratifying MSRs based on the
     predominant risk

                                      21

<PAGE>



     characteristics that include the underlying loan's interest rate, cash
     flows of the loan, origination date and term.

     Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments
     -----------------------------
     The fair value of commitments to extend credit was estimated using the
     fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into
     account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present
     creditworthiness of the customers.  Since the majority of the Company's
     off-balance-sheet instruments consist of variable-rate commitments, the
     Company has determined they do not have a distinguishable fair value.


The estimated fair value of financial instruments were as follows (in
thousands):

----------------------
The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate
levels will change) as a result of its normal operations.  As a result, the
fair value of the Company's financial instruments will change when interest
rate levels change and that change may either be favorable or unfavorable to
the Company.  Management attempts to match maturities of assets and
liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk.
However, borrowers with fixed interest rate obligations are less likely to
prepay in a rising interest rate environment and more likely to prepay in a
falling interest rate environment.  Conversely, depositors who are receiving
fixed interest rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a
rising interest rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling
interest rate environment.  Management monitors interest rates and maturities
of assets and liabilities, and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by
adjusting terms of new loans, and deposits and by investing in securities with
terms that mitigate the Company's overall interest rate risk.

Accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements defines fair value and
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP.
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
on the measurement date.  The following definitions describe the levels of
inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


                                      22

<PAGE>



     Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
     assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access
     at the measurement date.

     Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than quoted prices
     included within Level 1, such as quoted prices in markets that are not
     active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or
     can be corroborated by observable market data.

     Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own
     assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in
     pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available in
     the circumstances.

The following table summarizes the balances of assets and liabilities measured
at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

(1) The loss represents charge offs on collateral dependent loans for fair
value adjustments based on the fair value of the collateral.  A loan is
considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to
the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The specific reserve for
collateral dependent impaired loans was based on the fair value of the
collateral less estimated costs to sell.  The fair value of collateral was
determined based primarily on appraisals.  In some cases, adjustments were
made to the appraised values due to various factors including age of the
appraisal, age of comparables included in the appraisal, and known changes in
the market and in the collateral.  When significant adjustments were based on
unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement has been categorized
as Level 3 measurement.
(2) The loss represents OTTI credit-related charges on held-to-maturity
mortgage-backed securities.
(3)The Company's OREO and other repossessed items is initially recorded at
fair value less estimated costs to sell.  This amount becomes the property's
new basis.  Fair value was generally determined by management based on a
number of factors, including third-party appraisals of fair value in an
orderly sale.  Estimated costs to sell were based on standard market factors.
The valuation of OREO and other repossessed items is subject to significant
external and internal judgment.  Management periodically reviews the recorded
value to determine

                                      23

<PAGE>



whether the property continues to be recorded at the lower of its recorded
book value or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell.

(10) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
replacement of FAS 162" (the "Codification").  The Codification supersedes all
existing accounting and reporting standards other than the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Rules and interpretive
releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also
sources of authoritative guidance for SEC registrants.  Updates to the
Codification are being issued as Accounting Standards Updates, which will also
provide background information about the guidance, and provide the basis for
conclusions on changes in the Codification.  The Codification became effective
for the Company on July 1, 2009 and did not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued a statement on fair value measurements,
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This
statement expands other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair
value measurements.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  In
February 2008, the FASB issued a staff position, which delayed the effective
date of the September 2006 statement on fair value measurements for certain
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, to fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years.  The delay
was intended to allow additional time to consider the effect of various
implementation issues that arose, or that may arise, from the application of
the guidance.  The Company elected to apply the deferral provisions in the
February 2008 staff position and therefore only partially adopted the
provisions of the September 2006 statement on fair value measurements on
October 1, 2008.  The Company's partial adoption of the September 2006
statement on fair value measurements on October 1, 2008 did not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The
Company more fully adopted the provisions of the fair value guidance with
respect to certain nonfinancial instruments on October 1, 2009 and this
adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements. For further information, see Note 9 of the Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Statements included herein.

In June 2008, the FASB issued a staff position on determining whether
instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating
securities.  The guidance clarifies that all outstanding unvested share- based
payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend
equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are
required to be included in computing basic and diluted earnings per common
share under the two-class method.  This staff position was effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008
and interim periods within those years.  The adoption of this staff position
did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management
personnel we may in the future acquire into our operations and our ability to
realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames
and any goodwill charges related thereto; our ability to manage loan
delinquency rates; costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and
judgments; increased competitive pressures among financial services companies;
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; legislative or
regulatory changes that adversely affect our business including changes in
regulatory polices and principles, including the interpretation of regulatory
capital or other rules; the availability of resources to address changes in
laws, rules, or regulations or to respond to regulatory actions; adverse
changes in the securities markets; inability of key third-party providers to
perform their obligations to us; changes in accounting policies and practices,
as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the
Financial Accounting Standards Board, including additional guidance and
interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new
accounting methods; the economic impact of war or any terrorist activities;
other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological
factors affecting our operations; pricing, products and services; and other

Overview

Timberland Bancorp, Inc., a Washington corporation, is the holding company for
Timberland Bank.  The Bank opened for business in 1915 and serves consumers
and businesses across Grays Harbor, Thurston, Pierce, King, Kitsap and Lewis
counties, Washington with a full range of lending and deposit services through
its 22 branches (including its main office in Hoquiam).  At December 31, 2009,
the Company had total assets of $716.47 million and total shareholders' equity
of $87.21 million.  The Company's business activities generally are limited to
passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank.
Accordingly, the information set forth in this report relates primarily to the
Bank's operations.

The profitability of the Company's operations depends on its net interest
income after provision for loan losses.  Net interest income is the difference
between interest income, which is the income that the Company earns on
interest-earning assets, comprised of primarily loans and investments, and
interest expense, the amount the Company pays on its interest-bearing
liabilities, which are primarily deposits and borrowings.  The results of the
Company's operations may also be affected by local and general economic
conditions.  Changes in the levels of interest rates affect the Company's net
interest income.  Management strives to match the re-pricing characteristics
of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net
interest income from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape
of the yield curve.

The provision for loan losses is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio
and management's assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio as
well as prevailing economic and market conditions.  The provision for loan
losses reflects the amount that the Company believes is adequate to cover
potential credit losses in its loan portfolio. Additionally, net income is
affected by non-interest income and non-interest expenses.  For the three
month period ended December 31, 2009, non-interest income consisted primarily
of service charges and fees on deposit accounts, gain on sale of loans,
increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance, servicing income and
other operating income.  Operating expenses consisted primarily of salaries
and employee benefits, premises and equipment, advertising, ATM related
expenses, postage and courier, professional fees, state and local taxes and
deposit insurance premiums.

Results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local
economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates,
governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Net interest
income affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets,
interest earned on those assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing
liabilities and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities.  Other income
and other expenses are impacted by growth of operations and growth in the
number of loan and deposit accounts.

The Bank is a community-oriented bank which has traditionally offered a
variety of savings products to its retail customers while concentrating its
lending activities on real estate mortgage loans.  Lending activities have
been focused primarily on the origination of loans secured by real estate,
including an emphasis on residential construction loans, one- to four-family
residential loans, multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans and land
loans.  The Bank originates adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans that do
not qualify for sale in the secondary market.  The Bank also originates
commercial business loans and in 1998 established a business banking division
to increase the origination of these loans.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company has identified several accounting policies that as a result of
judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical
to an understanding of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a
level sufficient to provide for probable loan losses based on evaluating known
and inherent risks in the portfolio.  The allowance is based

                                      26

<PAGE>



upon management's comprehensive analysis of the pertinent factors underlying
the quality of the loan portfolio.  These factors include changes in the
amount and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loss experience, current
economic conditions, and detailed analysis of individual loans for which the
full collectability may not be assured.  The detailed analysis includes
methods to estimate the fair value of loan collateral and the existence of
potential alternative sources of repayment.  The appropriate allowance for
loan loss level is estimated based upon factors and trends identified by
management at the time consolidated financial statements are prepared.

While the Company believes it has established its existing allowance for loan
losses in accordance with GAAP, there can be no assurance that regulators, in
reviewing the Company's loan portfolio, will not request the Company to
significantly increase or decrease its allowance for loan losses.  In
addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be
predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing
allowance for loan losses is adequate or that substantial increases will not
be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate as a result of the
factors discussed elsewhere in this document.  Although management believes
the level of the allowance as of December 31, 2009 was adequate to absorb
probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, a decline in local economic
conditions, results of examinations by the Company's or the Bank's regulators
or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for
loan losses and may adversely affect the Company's financial condition and
results of operations.

Mortgage Servicing Rights.  Mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") are capitalized
when acquired through the origination of loans that are subsequently sold with
servicing rights retained and are amortized to servicing income on loans sold
in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income.  The
value of MSRs at the date of the sale of loans is determined based on the
discounted present value of expected future cash flows using key assumptions
for servicing income and costs and prepayment rates on the underlying loans.
The estimated fair value is periodically evaluated for impairment by comparing
actual cash flows and estimated cash flows from the servicing assets to those
estimated at the time servicing assets were originated.  The effect of changes
in market interest rates on estimated rates of loan prepayments represents the
predominant risk characteristic underlying the MSRs portfolio.  The Company's
methodology for estimating the fair value of MSRs is highly sensitive to
changes in assumptions.  For example, the determination of fair value uses
anticipated prepayment speeds.  Actual prepayment experience may differ and
any difference may have a material effect on the fair value.  Thus, any
measurement of MSRs' fair value is limited by the conditions existing and
assumptions as of the date made.  Those assumptions may not be appropriate if
they are applied at different times.

OTTIs (Other-Than-Temporary Impairments) in the Fair Value of Investment
Securities.  Unrealized investment securities losses on available for sale and
held to maturity securities are evaluated at least quarterly to determine
whether declines in value should be considered "other than temporary" and
therefore be subject to immediate loss recognition through earnings for the
portion related to credit losses.  Although these evaluations involve
significant judgment, an unrealized loss in the fair value of a debt security
is generally deemed to be temporary when the fair value of the security is
less than the recorded value primarily as a result of changes in interest
rates, when there has not been significant deterioration in the financial
condition of the issuer, and it is more likely than not the Company will not
have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis.  An unrealized
loss in the value of an equity security is generally considered temporary when
the fair value of the security is less than the recorded value primarily as a
result of current market conditions and not a result of deterioration in the
financial condition of the issuer or the underlying collateral (in the case of
mutual funds) and the Company has the intent and the ability to hold the
security for a sufficient time to recover the recorded value.  Other factors
that may be considered in determining whether a decline in the value of either
a debt or equity security is "other than temporary" include ratings by
recognized rating agencies; capital strength and near-term prospects of the
issuer, and recommendation of investment advisors or market analysts.
Therefore, continued deterioration of current market conditions could result
in additional impairment losses recognized within the Company's investment
portfolio.

                                      27

<PAGE>



Goodwill. Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an
acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible
and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Goodwill is presumed
to have an indefinite useful life and is analyzed annually for impairment.  An
annual test is performed during the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more
frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the
recorded goodwill is impaired.  If the fair value of the Company's sole
reporting unit exceeds the recorded value, goodwill is not considered impaired
and no additional analysis is necessary.

One of the circumstances evaluated when determining if an impairment test of
goodwill is needed more frequently than annually is the extent and duration
that the Company's market capitalization (total common shares outstanding
multiplied by current stock price) is less than the total equity applicable to
common shareholders.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company's
market capitalization decreased to a level that required a goodwill impairment
test prior to the annual test.  Therefore, the Company engaged a third party
firm to perform an interim test for goodwill impairment during the quarter
ended March 31, 2009.  The test concluded that recorded goodwill was not
impaired.  The Company updated the interim test for goodwill impairment
internally during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and concluded that recorded
goodwill was not impaired. As of December 31, 2009, there have been no events
or changes in the circumstances that would indicate a potential impairment to
recorded goodwill.  No assurance can be given, however, that the Company will
not record an impairment loss on goodwill in the future.

Other Real Estate Owned and Other Repossessed Assets. Other real estate owned
and other repossessed assets consist of properties or assets acquired through
or in lieu of foreclosure, and are recorded initially at the fair value of the
properties less estimated costs of disposal.  Costs relating to the
development and improvement of the properties or assets are capitalized while
costs relating to holding the properties or assets are expensed.  Valuations
are periodically performed by management, and a charge to earnings is recorded
if the recorded value of a property exceeds its estimated net realizable
value.


Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009

The Company's total assets increased by $14.79 million, or 2.1%, to $716.47
million at December 31, 2009 from $701.68 million at September 30, 2009.  The
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash equivalents and
short-term CDs held for investment.

Net loans receivable was relatively unchanged at $547.16 million at December
31, 2009 as compared to $547.21 million at September 30, 2009.  A significant
decrease in construction and land development loan balances and an increase in
the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended December 31, 2009
were partially offset by an increase in commercial real estate loan balances.

Total deposits increased by $35.35 million, or 7.0%, to $541.01 million at
December 31, 2009 from $505.66 million at September 30, 2009, primarily as a
result of increases in CD account balances and N.O.W. checking account
balances.

Shareholders' equity increased by $7,000, to $87.21 million at December 31,
2009 from $87.20 million at September 30, 2009.

A more detailed explanation of the changes in significant balance sheet
categories follows:

Cash Equivalents and CDs Held for Investment: Cash equivalents and CDs held
for investment increased by $13.66 million, or 19.6%, to $83.37 million at
December 31, 2009 from $69.71 million at September 30, 2009.  The increase in
cash equivalents and short-term CDs was primarily due to the Company's
decision to increase its liquidity position.

                                       28

<PAGE>



Investment Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities:  Investment and
mortgage-backed securities decreased by $1.55 million, or 7.5%, to $19.01
million at December 31, 2009 from $20.56 million at September 30, 2009.  The
decrease was primarily as a result of regular amortization and prepayments on
mortgage-backed securities and OTTI charges recorded on private label
residential mortgage-backed securities. The securities on which the OTTI
charges were recognized were acquired from the in-kind redemption of the
Bank's investment in the AMF family of mutual funds in June 2008.  For
additional information, see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

Loans:  Net loans receivable decreased by $52,000, or 0.01% to $547.16 million
at December 31, 2009 from $547.21 million at September 30, 2009.  The decrease
in the portfolio was primarily a result of a $9.97 million decrease in
construction loans (net of undisbursed portion of construction loans in
process), a $1.91 million decrease in consumer loans, a $752,000 decrease in
commercial business loans, a $483,000 decrease in land loans and a $759,000
increase in the allowance for loan losses.  These decreases to net loans
receivable were partially offset by a $9.41 million increase in commercial
real estate loans, a $2.20 million increase in multi-family loans and a $2.12
million increase in one-to-four family loans.

Loan originations increased to $54.01 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2009 from $43.94 million for the three months ended December 31,
2008.  The Bank continued to sell longer-term fixed rate loans for asset
liability management purposes and to generate non-interest income.  The Bank
sold fixed rate one- to four-family mortgage loans totaling $18.85 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to $10.54 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2008.

For additional information, see Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

Premises and Equipment:  Premises and equipment decreased by $95,000, or 0.5%,
to $17.95 million at December 31, 2009 from $18.05 million at September 30,
2009.  The decrease was primarily a result of accumulated depreciation.

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"): OREO and other repossessed assets totaled
$8.12 million at December 31, 2009 and consisted of 23 individual properties
and two other repossessed assets representing 19 relationships.  The
properties consisted of two land development projects totaling $3.03 million,
nine single family homes totaling $2.76 million, a nine unit condominium
property with a balance of $1.06 million, nine land parcels totaling $631,000
and two commercial real estate properties totaling $616,000.

Goodwill and CDI:  The value of goodwill at $5.65 million at December 31, 2009
remained unchanged from September 30, 2009.  The amortized value of the CDI
decreased to $707,000 at December 31, 2009 from $755,000 at September 30,
2009.  The $48,000 decrease was attributable to scheduled amortization of the
CDI.

Deposits: Deposits increased by $35.35 million, or 7.0%, to $541.01 million at
December 31, 2009 from $505.66 million at September 30, 2009.  The increase
was primarily a result of a $16.15 million increase in N.O.W. checking account
balances, a $14.39 million increase in CD account balances and a $3.09 million
increase in savings account balances.

FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings:  FHLB advances and other borrowings
decreased by $20.16 million, or 19.1%, to $85.62 million at December 31, 2009
from $105.78 million at September 30, 2009 as the Bank used a portion of its
liquid assets to repay maturing FHLB advances.  For additional information,
see "Borrowing Maturity Schedule" set forth below.

Shareholders' Equity:  Total shareholders' equity increased by $7,000, to
$87.21 million at December 31, 2009 from $87.20 million at September 30, 2009.


Non-performing Assets:  Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans,
non-accrual investment securities, and OREO and other repossessed assets.  At
December 31, 2009, nine loans totaling $6.30 million were 90 days or more past
due and still accruing interest.  At September 30, 2009, five loans totaling
$796,000 were 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.
Non-performing assets to total assets increased to 6.37% at December 31, 2009
from 5.41% at September 30, 2009, as non-accrual loans increased by $5.27
million and non-accrual investment securities increased by $2.50 million.
Partially offsetting these increases to non-performing assets was a $66,000
decrease in OREO and other repossessed assets.

Total non-accrual loans of $34.56 million at December 31, 2009 were comprised
of 64 loans and 45 credit relationships.  Included in these non-accrual loans
were:

     *  23 land loans totaling $9.04 million (of which the largest had a
        balance of $2.49 million)
     *  Seven land development loans totaling $7.76 million (of which the
        largest had a balance of $2.25 million)
     *  Six commercial real estate loans totaling $6.51 million (of which the
        largest had a balance $3.48 million)
     *  Two condominium construction loans totaling $5.72 million (of which
        the largest had a balance of $3.24 million)
     *  Eight single family speculative loans totaling $2.94 million (of which
        the largest had a balance of $783,000)
     *  Seven single family home loans totaling $1.72 million (of which the
        largest had a balance of $752,000)
     *  Three one-to-four family owner/builder construction loans totaling
        $662,000
     *  Four consumer loans totaling $111,000
     *  Four second mortgage loans totaling $100,000.


The Company had net charge-offs totaling $1.84 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2009 compared to $1.20 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2008.  The charge-offs during the three months ended December 31,
2009 were primarily associated with construction loans and land loans.  In
recognition of a real estate market that reflected lower valuations during the
period net charge-offs consisted of the following:

     *  $502,000 on a condominium construction loan
     *  $350,000 on seven land loans
     *  $324,000 on three land development loans
     *  $305,000 on two commercial real estate loans
     *  $200,000 on four single family speculative construction loans
     *  $109,000 on four home equity loans
     *  $35,000 on a single family construction loan
     *  $10,000 on two single family home loans
     *  $6,000 on a a secured consumer loan

Borrowing Maturity Schedule
---------------------------
The Bank has short- and long-term borrowing lines with the FHLB of Seattle
with total credit on the lines equal to 30% of the Bank's total assets,
limited by available collateral.  Borrowings are considered short-term when
the original maturity is less than one year.  FHLB advances consisted of the
following:

                                At December 31,         At September 30,

The long-term borrowings mature at various dates through September 2017 and
bear interest at rates ranging from 3.49% to 4.66%.   The weighted average
interest rate on FHLB borrowings at December 31, 2009 was 4.08%.  Principal
reduction amounts due for future years ending September 30 are as follows (in
thousands):

Remainder of 2010     $   - -

A portion of these advances have a putable feature and may be called by the
FHLB earlier than the above schedule indicates.

The Bank also maintains a short-term borrowing line with the Federal Reserve
Bank with total credit based on eligible collateral.  As of December 31, 2009,
the Bank had a borrowing line capacity of $10.82 million of which, one note in
the amount of $10.00 million was outstanding.  The borrowing matures on
January 4, 2010 and bears an interest rate of 0.50%.  As of September 30, 2009
the Bank had $10.00 million outstanding on the borrowing line with the Federal
Reserve Bank.

The Bank has also been approved for a $10.00 million overnight borrowing line
with Pacific Coast Bankers Bank ("PCBB").  The borrowing line may be reduced
or withdrawn at any time and must be collateralized.  As of December 31, 2009
and September 30, 2009, the Bank did not have any outstanding advances on this

not have any collateral pledged for this borrowing line.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2009
and 2008

The Company reported net income of $224,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
2009 compared to net income of $361,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
2008. Income available to common shareholders after adjusting for the
preferred stock dividend and the preferred stock discount accretion was a loss
of $(35,000) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to income of
$343,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease was primarily
a result of an increased provision for loan losses, which was partially offset
by increased non-interest income.  Diluted earnings per common share decreased
by 120.0% to a loss of $(0.01) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from
$0.05 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.

A more detailed explanation of the income statement categories is presented
below.

Net Income: Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 decreased by
$137,000, or 38.0%, to $224,000 from $361,000 for the quarter ended December
31, 2008.  Income available to common shareholders after adjusting for
preferred stock dividends of $208,000 and preferred stock discount accretion
of $51,000 was a loss of $(35,000), or $(0.01) per diluted common share for
the quarter ended December 31, 2009, compared to net income available to
common shareholders of $343,000, or $0.05 per diluted common share for the
quarter ended December 31, 2008.

The $0.06 decrease in diluted earnings per common share was primarily the
result of a $1.29 million ($848,000 net of income tax - $0.13 per diluted
common share) increase in the provision for loan losses, a $73,000 ($48,000
net of income tax - $0.01 per diluted common share) decrease in net interest
income and a $241,000 increase in preferred stock dividends and preferred
stock accretion which decreased earnings by approximately $0.03 per diluted
common share. These decreases to diluted earnings per common share were
partially offset by a $1.06 million ($701,000 net of income tax - $0.11 per
diluted common share) increase in non-interest income.

Net Interest Income:   Net interest income decreased by $73,000, or 1.1%, to
$6.39 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from $6.46 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease in net interest income was
primarily attributable to an increased level of non-accrual loans and an
increased level of relatively low yielding cash equivalents and other liquid
assets.

Total interest and dividend income decreased by $684,000 or 6.8%, to $9.34
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from $10.03 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 2008 as the yield on interest earning assets
decreased to 5.76% from 6.50%.  Total average interest earning assets
increased by $31.44 million to $648.72 million for the quarter ended December
31, 2009 from $617.28 million for quarter ended December 31, 2008.  Total
interest expense decreased by $611,000, or 17.2%, to $2.95 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 2009 from $3.56 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2008 as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities
decreased to 2.09% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from 2.67% for the
quarter ended December 31, 2008.  Total average interest bearing liabilities
increased by $29.74 million to $560.44 million for the quarter ended December
31, 2009 from $530.70 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  The
net interest margin decreased to 3.94% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009
from 4.19% for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  The margin compression
was primarily attributable to the reversal of interest income on loans placed
on non-accrual status during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 and an
increased level of liquid assets with lower yields.  The reversal of interest
income on loans placed on non-accrual status during the quarter ended December
31, 2009 reduced the net interest margin by approximately 22 basis points.

Rate Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on
the net interest income on the Company.  Information is provided with respect
to the (i) effects on interest income attributable to change in volume
(changes in volume multiplied by prior rate), and (ii) effects on interest
income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior
volume), and (iii) the net change (sum of the prior columns).  Changes in
rate/volume have been allocated to rate and volume variances based on the
absolute values of each.

Provision for Loan Losses:  The provision for loan losses increased $1.29
million, or 97.7%, to $2.60 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009
from $1.32 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  The increased
provision for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was primarily as a
result of an increase in the level of net charge-offs, an increase in the
level of potential principal impairment on non-performing loans, an increase
in the level of loans classified as substandard and uncertainties in real
estate values in certain market areas of the Pacific Northwest.

The Bank has established a comprehensive methodology for determining the
provision for loan losses.  On a quarterly basis the Bank performs an analysis
that considers pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio.
The factors include changes in the amount and composition of the loan
portfolio, historic loss experience for various loan segments, changes in
economic conditions, delinquency rates, a detailed analysis of

                                      33

<PAGE>


impaired loans, and other factors to determine an appropriate level of
allowance for loan losses.  Management's analysis for the three months ended
December 31, 2009, also placed greater emphasis on the Bank's construction and
land development loan portfolio and the effect of various factors such as
geographic and loan type concentrations.  Based on its comprehensive analysis,
management believes the allowance for loan losses of $14.93 million at
December 31, 2009 (2.66% of loans receivable and 43.2% of non-performing
loans) adequate to provide for probable losses based on an evaluation of known
and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date.  Impaired loans are
subjected to an impairment analysis to determine an appropriate reserve amount
to be held against each loan.  The aggregate impairment amount determined at
December 31, 2009 was $4.08 million.  The allowance for loan losses was $8.17
million (1.44% of loans receivable and 60.4% of non-performing loans) at
December 31, 2008.  The Company had net charge-offs of $1.84 million during
the three months ended December 31, 2009 and net charge-offs of $1.20 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2008.

Non-accrual and 90 day past due loans increased by $5.27 million to $34.56
million at December 31, 2009 from $29.29 million at September 30, 2009.
Non-accrual loans were comprised of 64 loans and 45 credit relationships.
Management's evaluation determined that there was potential principal
impairment of $4.08 million on these loans.  For additional information, see
the section entitled "Non-performing Assets" included herein.

While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its
determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no
assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in
the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the
amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be
required will not adversely impact the Company's financial condition and
results of operations.  In addition, the determination of the amount of the
Bank's allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators as
part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment
of additional reserves based upon their analysis of information available to
them at the time of their examination.  In addition, because future events
affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there
can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or
that substantial increases will not be necessary should the quality of any
loans deteriorate.  Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses
would adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.  For additional information, see Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income increased by $1.06 million, or
117.3%, to $1.97 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from $906,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to an
$786,000 decrease in net OTTI charges, a $168,000 increase in gain on sale of
loans and a $74,000 increase in ATM transaction fees.  The increased income
from loan sales was primarily a result of an increase in the dollar value of
residential mortgage loans sold in the secondary market during the quarter
ended December 31, 2009.  The sale of fixed rate one-to four-family mortgage
loans totaled $18.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared
to $10.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  The increase in ATM
transaction fees was attributable to the increase in transaction accounts.

Non-interest Expense:  Total non-interest expense decreased by $40,000, or
0.7%, to $5.50 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from $5.54
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease was primarily
attributable to decreases in salaries, employee related expenses and
advertising.  A change in the Bank's vacation accrual policy reduced salaries
and employee benefits by approximately $164,000 during the quarter ended
December 31, 2009.  These decreases were partially offset by increases in FDIC
insurance expense, professional fees and premises and equipment expenses.  The
Company's efficiency ratio decreased to 65.77% for the quarter ended December
31, 2009 from 75.13% for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.

Provision for Income Taxes:  The provision for income taxes decreased by
$119,000 to $38,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 from $157,000 for
the quarter ended December 31, 2008, primarily due to a decrease in income
before income taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate was 14.5% for the
quarter ended December 31, 2009 and 30.31% for the quarter ended December 31,
2008.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to an
increased percentage of income before taxes that was non-taxable.

Liquidity
---------
The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from
principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities,
proceeds from the sale of loans, proceeds from maturing securities and
maturing CDs held for investment, FHLB advances, and other borrowings.  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.

An analysis of liquidity should include a review of the Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 2009.  The
condensed consolidated statement of cash flows includes operating, investing
and financing categories.  Operating activities include net income, which is
adjusted for non-cash items, and increases or decreases in cash due to changes
in assets and liabilities.  Investing activities consist primarily of proceeds
from maturities and sales of securities, purchases of securities, and the net
change in loans.  Financing activities present the cash flows associated with
the Company's deposit accounts, other borrowings and stock related
transactions.

The Company's total cash equivalents increased by $2.5 million, or 3.76% to
$68.93 million at December 31, 2009 from $66.46 million at September 30, 2009.
The increase in liquid assets was primarily reflected in an increase in both
interest bearing deposits in other banks and cash and due from financial
institutions.

The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the
availability of sufficient funds for 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,
2009, 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 14.74%.  The Bank maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB
of Seattle that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate
amount equal to 30% of total assets, limited by available collateral, under
which $75.00 million was outstanding and $109.57 million was available for
additional borrowings at December 31, 2009.  The Bank also maintains a
short-term borrowing line with the Federal Reserve Bank with total credit
based on eligible collateral.  At December 31, 2009, the Bank had $10.00
million outstanding on this borrowing line.  The Bank has also been approved
for a $10.00 million overnight borrowing line with PCBB, which must be
collateralized.  At December 31, 2009, the Bank had not pledged any collateral
for this borrowing line and there was no outstanding balance.

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, federal funds sold, and other short-term
investments.  If the Bank requires funds that exceed its ability to generate
them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Seattle
and the Federal Reserve Bank.

The Bank's primary investing activity is the origination of one- to
four-family mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans, construction loans,
land loans, consumer loans, and commercial business loans.  At December 31,
2009, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $44.15 million and undisbursed
loans in process totaling $20.05 million.  The Bank anticipates that it will
have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments.  CDs that
are scheduled to mature in less than one year from December 31, 2009 totaled
$112.15

                                       35

million.  Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount
of its non-brokered certificates of deposit as they mature.  At December 31,
2009, the Bank's brokered deposits consisted of $4.00 million in reciprocal
brokered certificate of deposit accounts exchanged through the Certificate of
Deposits Account Registry Service ("CDARS") program.

Capital Resources
-----------------
Federally-insured state-chartered banks are required to maintain 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 4.0% to 5.0%, (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%.  The Bank is currently
required to maintain a well capitalized status and a Tier 1 leverage capital
ratio of at least 10.0% under terms of a Memorandum of Understanding with the
FDIC and the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, Division of
Banks (the "Bank MOU").  For additional information regarding the Bank MOU,
see "Item 1A, Risk Factors   The Company and the Bank are required to comply
with the terms of separate memorandums of understanding issued by their
respective regulators and lack of compliance could result in additional
regulatory actions."

At December 31, 2009, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital
requirements.

The following table compares the Company's and the Bank's actual capital
amounts at December 31, 2009 to its minimum regulatory capital requirements at
that date (dollars in thousands):

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
-------------------------------------------------------------------
There were no material changes in information concerning market risk from the
information provided in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2009.


Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures
---------------------------------

(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:  An evaluation of the
     Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
     13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"))
     was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the
     Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several
     other members of the Company's senior management as of the end of the
     period covered by this report.  The Company's Chief Executive Officer
     and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2009 the
     Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring
     that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
     reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and
     communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive
     Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii)
     recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
     specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

(b)  Changes in Internal Controls:  There have been no changes in our internal
     control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange
     Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2009, that has
     materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
     internal control over financial reporting.  The Company continued,
     however, to implement suggestions from its internal auditor and
     independent auditors to strengthen existing controls.  The Company does
     not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal
     controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud.  A
     control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
     only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
     control procedure are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all
     control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
     assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within
     the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the
     realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
     breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or
     mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual
     acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by
     management override of the control.  The design of any control procedure
     is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future
     events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
     achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; as over
     time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
     the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
     Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
     procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
     detected.


PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
---------------------------
Neither the Company nor the Bank is a party to any material legal proceedings
at this time.  From time to time, the Bank is involved in various claims and
legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.


Item 1A.    Risk Factors

                                       38

<PAGE>



Listed below are updates to the risk factors provided in the Company's Annual
Report of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 ("2009 Form
10-K").  These updates should be read in conjunction with the 2009 Form 10-K.


The Company and the Bank are required to comply with the terms of separate
memorandums of understanding issued by their respective regulators and lack of
compliance could result in additional regulatory actions.

     As previously disclosed in the 2009 Form 10-K, in December 2009, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Washington State
Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks ("Division")
determined that the Bank required supervisory attention and December 22, 2009
reached an agreement on a Memorandum of Understanding with the Bank (the "Bank
MOU").  Under that agreement, the Bank must among other things, maintain Tier
1 Capital of not less than 10.0% of the Bank's adjusted total assets and
maintain capital ratios above "well capitalized" thresholds as defined under
FDIC Rules and Regulations; obtain the prior consent from the FDIC and
Division prior to the Bank declaring a dividend to its holding company; an not
engage in any transactions that would materially change the Bank's balance
sheet composition including growth in total assets of five percent or more or
significant changes in funding sources, such as by increasing brokered
deposits, without the prior non-objection of the FDIC.

     In addition on February 1, 2010, the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco ("FRB") determined that the Company required additional supervisory
attention and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Company (the
"FRB MOU").  Under the terms of the FRB MOU, the Company, without prior
written approval, or non-objection, of the FRB, may not:

     *   appoint any new director or senior executive officer or change the
         responsibilities of any current senior executive officers;
     *   receive dividends or any other form of payment or distribution
         representing a reduction in capital from the Bank;
     *   declare or pay any dividends, or make any other capital
         distributions;
     *   incur, renew, increase, or guarantee any debt;
     *   issue any trust preferred securities; and
     *   purchase or redeem any of its stock.

Following the effective date of the FRB MOU, the Company is required to
provide the FRB with progress reports regarding its compliance with the
provisions of the FRB MOU.

The Bank MOU and the FRB MOU will remain in effect until stayed, modified,
terminated or suspended by the FDIC and the Division or FRB, as the case may
be.  If either the Company or the Bank was found not in compliance with their
respective MOU, it could be subject to various remedies, including among
others, the power to enjoin "unsafe or unsound" practices, to require
affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or
practice, to direct an increase in capital, to restrict growth, to remove
officers and / or directors, and to assess civil monetary penalties.
Management of the Company and the Bank have been taking action and
implementing programs to comply with the requirements of the FRB MOU and the
Bank MOU, respectively.  Although compliance will be determined by the FDIC,
Division and FRB, management believes that the Company and the Bank will
comply in all material respects with the provisions of the MOU.  Any of these
regulators may determine, however, in their sole discretion that the issues
raised by the FRB MOU or the Bank MOU have not been addressed satisfactorily,
or that any current or past actions, violations or deficiencies could be the
subject of further regulatory enforcement actions.  Such enforcement actions
could involve penalties or limitations on the Company's business and
negatively

                                       39

affect its ability to implement its business plan, pay dividends on its common
stock or the value of its common stock, as well as its financial condition and
result of operations.
