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 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.  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, 2008 ("2008 Form 10-K").  The results of operations for
the nine months ended June 30, 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 accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 June
30, 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) 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 up to $2.50 million in common stock to the U.S.
Treasury.  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.  In addition to the preferred shares, the Treasury received a 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.

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

                                       10

any accretion is deducted from net income for computing income available to
common shareholders and earnings per share computations.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 the Company recorded OTTI
charges through earnings on residential mortgage-backed securities of $125,000
and $2.29 million, respectively.  As discussed later in Note 13, effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") Staff Position FAS 115-2, 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 June 30, 2009.

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 the Company recorded a
$17,000 and $24,000 realized loss on one held to maturity residential
mortgage-backed security.

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 $16.68 million and $23.00 million at June 30, 2009 and September 30,
2008, respectively.

The contractual maturities of debt securities at June 30, 2009 are as follows

(4) FHLB STOCK
The Company views its investment in the 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.  The
FHLB of Seattle reported a risk-based capital deficiency as of March 31, 2009,
and therefore did not pay a dividend for the first quarter of 2009 and will
not repurchase capital stock in the near term.   The FHLB noted its primary
concern with meeting the risk-based capital requirements relates to the
potential impact of OTTI charges that they may be required to record on their
private label mortgage-backed securities.  While the FHLB of Seattle was less
than adequately capitalized as of March 31, 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

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 market 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.

At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Bank had impaired loans totaling approximately
$45.01 million and $9.39 million respectively.  At June 30, 2009 the Bank had
three loans totaling $830,000 that were 90 days or more past due and still
accruing interest. At June 30, 2008 no loans were 90 days or more past due and
still accruing interest.  Interest income recognized on impaired loans for the
three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $581,000 and $8,000,
respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was
$713,000 and $20,000, respectively.   Interest income recognized on a cash
basis on impaired loans for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, was
$317,000 and $8,000, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008 was $449,000 and $20,000, respectively.  The average investment in
impaired loans for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $28.84
million and $5.29 million respectively.  The Bank had no restructured loans at
June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009 that were included in impaired loans.

Following is a summary of information related to impaired loans (in
thousands):

(6) 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. No assurance can be given that the Company will not
record an impairment loss on goodwill in the near term.

(7) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income
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 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, outstanding warrants to purchase
common stock and restricted stock awards not yet vested.  In accordance with
Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock
Ownership Plans, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, 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 June 30, 2009 and 2008, there were 339,117 and 405,562 ESOP shares,
respectively, that had not been allocated.

(1)  For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, options to purchase
168,864 and 179,577 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.  For
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, options to purchase 49,546 and
16,515 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 nine months ended June 30, 2009, the effect of dilutive stock
options was computed to be 1,738 shares.  However, the dilutive effect of
these stock options has been excluded from the diluted EPS computation for the
nine months ended June 30, 2009 because the Company reported a net loss
available for common shareholders for the period and, therefore, their effect
would have been anti-dilutive.
(3) For the three  and nine months ended June 30, 2009, warrants to purchase
370,899 and 247,266 shares of common stock, respectively, 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 and nine months ended
June 30, 2008.
(4) For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, the effect of dilutive stock
warrants was computed to be 724 shares.  However, the dilutive effect of these
stock warrants has been excluded from the diluted EPS computation for the nine
months ended June 30, 2009 because the Company reported a net loss available
for common shareholders for the period and, therefore, their effect would have
been anti-dilutive.


(8) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No.
123(R), Share Based Payment, which requires measurement of the compensation
cost for all stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value and
recognition of compensation cost over the service period of stock-based
awards.  The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes
valuation model, which is consistent with the

                                       18

<PAGE>



Company's valuation methodology previously utilized for options in footnote
disclosures required under SFAS No. 123.  The Company has adopted SFAS No.
123(R) using the modified prospective method, which provides for no
restatement of prior periods and no cumulative adjustment to equity accounts.
It also provides for expense recognition, for both new and existing
stock-based awards.


(9) STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Stock Option Plans
------------------
Under the Company's stock option plans (i.e., the 1999 Stock Option Plan and
the 2003 Stock Option Plan), the Company may 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 10% annual installments on each of the ten
anniversaries from the date of the grant.  However, if the Company meets three
of four established performance criteria the vesting is accelerated to 20% for
that year.  These four performance criteria are: (i) generating a return on
assets which exceeds that of the median of all thrifts in the 12th FHLB
District having assets within $250 million of the Company; (ii) generating an
efficiency ratio which is less than that of the median of all thrifts in the
12th FHLB District having assets within $250 million of the Company; (iii)
generating a net interest margin which exceeds the median of all thrifts in
the 12th FHLB District having assets within $250 million of the Company; and
(iv) increasing the Company's earnings per share over the prior fiscal year.
At June 30, 2009, options for 275,738 shares are available for future grant
under the 2003 Stock Option Plan.

Following is activity under the plans:

Stock Grant Plans
-----------------
The Company adopted the Management Recognition and Development Plan ("MRDP")
in 1998, which was subsequently approved by shareholders in 1999 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 allows for the issuance to participants of up to 529,000 shares of
the Company's common stock.  Shares may be purchased in the open market or may
be issued from authorized and unissued shares.  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.  During the nine
months ended June 30, 2009, 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.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2008 the Company
awarded 20,315 MRDP shares to officers and directors.  These shares had a
weighted average grant date fair value of $12.76 per share.

At June 30, 2009, there were a total of 52,258 unvested MRDP shares with an
aggregated grant date fair value of $620,000.  There were 7,079 MRDP shares
that vested during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 with an

                                      20

aggregated grant date fair value of $104,000.  There were 3,016 MRDP shares
that vested during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 with an aggregated
grant date fair value of $53,000.  At June 30, 2009, there were no shares
available for future awards under the MRDP.

(10) INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its
subsidiary, the Bank.  The Bank provides for income taxes separately and
remits to the Company amounts currently due.

Deferred federal income taxes result from temporary differences between the
tax basis of assets and liabilities, and their reported amounts in the
consolidated financial statements.  These will result in differences between
income for tax purposes and income for financial reporting purposes in future
years.  As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.  Valuation
allowances are established to reduce the net recorded amount of deferred tax
assets if it is determined to be more likely than not, that all or some
portion of the potential deferred tax asset will not be realized.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
("FIN 48").  The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement
of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The Company
adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007.  It is the Company's
policy to record any penalties or interest arising from federal or state taxes
as a component of non-interest expense.

The Company is no longer subject to United States federal income tax
examination by tax authorities for years ended on or before September 30,
2004.

(11) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

SFAS No. 107, 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 recorded amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

    Investments and Mortgage-Backed Securities
    ------------------------------------------
    The fair value of investments and mortgage-backed securities has been
    based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes, or discounted cash flows.

    Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
    ----------------------------
    The recorded value of stock holdings approximates fair value.

    Loans Receivable and Loans Held for Sale
    ----------------------------------------
    Fair value of loans at June 30, 2009 is estimated based on comparable
    market statistics.  Loan portfolio sales reported by the FDIC for the
    period January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2009 were used as the basis for
    comparable market statistics.  Fair value of loans at September 30, 2008
    was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates
    at which similar loans would be made to borrowers for the same remaining
    maturities.  Prepayments are based on the historical experience of the
    Bank.  The fair value calculation of loans at September 30, 2008 was prior
    to the Company's partial adoption of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
    Measurements.

    The effect of changing the fair value calculation method for loans
    receivable and loans held for sale as a result of partially adopting SFAS
    No. 157, Fair Value Measurements on October 1, 2008 is shown in the
    following table (in thousands):

                                                                June 30, 2009
                                                                -------------

     of SFAS 157                                                   (170,154)
                                                                  ---------
    Estimated fair value                                          $ 374,612


                                         23

<PAGE>


    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.

    Other Borrowings: Repurchase Agreements
    ---------------------------------------
    The recorded value of repurchase agreements approximates fair value.

    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 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):

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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.  SFAS No. 157 identifies three levels of inputs that
may be used to measure fair value:

                                      24

<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 June 30, 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.
(2) The loss represents OTTI charges on held-to-maturity mortgage-backed
securities.

(12) DIVIDEND / SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 31, 2009, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per
common share, payable August 28, 2009, to shareholders of record as of the
close of business on August 14, 2009.   There were no other subsequent events
requiring disclosure as of the filing date of August 10, 2009.


(13) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements
("SFAS 157"), 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 Staff Position ("FSP") No. FAS 157-2
("FSP 157-2"), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for certain
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, to fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years.  The delay is
intended to allow additional time to consider the effect of various
implementation issues that have arisen, or that may arise, from the
application of SFAS 157.  The Company has elected to apply the deferral
provisions in FSP 157-2 and therefore only partially adopted the provisions of
SFAS 157 on October 1, 2008.  The Company's partial adoption of SFAS 157 on
October 1, 2008 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.  See Footnote 11, "Fair Value Measurements," for further
information.  The Company has not adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 with
respect to certain nonfinancial assets, such as other real estate owned.  The
Company will more fully adopt SFAS 157 with respect to these items effective
October 1, 2009.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of the
additional provisions of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on its
consolidated financial statements, but will result in additional disclosures
related to the fair value of nonfinancial assets.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force 03-6-1,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions
Are Participating Securities.  This FSP states that unvested share-based
payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend
equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be
included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class
method.  The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years.  The
adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-3, Determining Fair Value of
a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active ("FAS 157-3").
The FSP clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial
asset is not active.  The FSP was effective upon issuance, including reporting
for prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued.  The
Company's adoption of FAS 157-3 in October 2008 did not have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition
and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments ("FAS 115-2")  This FSP
amends the other-than-temporary guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to
make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and
disclosure of OTTIs on debt and equity securities in the financial statements.
This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related
to OTTIs of equity securities.  FAS 115-2 provides for the bifurcation of
OTTIs 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.  The Company adopted FAS 115-2
as of January 1, 2009.  As a result of adopting FAS 115-2, the Company
recorded $397,000 in impairments not related to credit losses through other
comprehensive income rather than through earnings for the six months ended
June 30, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When
the Volume and Level of Activity for an Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not

                                      26

Orderly, ("FAS 157-4").  This FSP provides additional guidance for fair value
measures under FAS 157 in determining if the market for an asset or liability
is inactive and accordingly, if quoted market prices may not be indicative of
fair value. The Company adopted FAS 157-4 as of January 1, 2009 and it did not
have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ("FAS 107-1").  This FSP
is designed to enhance consistency in financial reporting by increasing the
frequency of fair value disclosures.  The Company adopted the provisions of
FAS 107-1 as of June 30, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events.  The objective
of SFAS No. 165 is to establish general standards of accounting for and
disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before
financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  Specifically,
the Statement defines: (1) the period after the balance sheet date during
which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions
that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize
events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial
statements, and (3) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or
transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date.  In accordance with
this Statement, an entity should apply the requirements to interim or annual
financial periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 165 as
of June 30, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed
consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------

The following analysis discusses the material changes in the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company at and for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2009.  This analysis as well as other sections of
this report contains certain "forward-looking statements."

Certain matters discussed in this Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things,
expectations of the business environment in which we operate, projections of
future performance, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future
credit experience, and statements regarding our mission and vision. These
forward-looking statements are based upon current management expectations and
may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results,
performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested,
expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide
variety or range of factors including, but not limited to: the credit risks of
lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan
delinquencies and write-offs that may be impacted by deterioration in the
housing and commercial real estate markets and may lead to increased losses
and nonperforming assets in our loan portfolio, and may result in our
allowance for loan losses not being adequate to cover actual losses, and
require us to materially increase our reserves; changes in general economic
conditions, either nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of
general interest rates, and the relative differences between short and long
term interest rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and
funding sources; fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold
homes and other properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our
market areas; results of examinations of us by the Federal Reserve and our
bank subsidiary by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Washington
State Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks or other
regulatory authorities, including the possibility that any such regulatory
authority may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan
losses, write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect
our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could
adversely affect our liquidity and earnings; our ability to control operating
costs and expenses; the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain
of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in
significant declines in valuation; difficulties in reducing risk associated
with the loans on our balance sheet; staffing fluctuations in response to

product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our
work force and potential associated charges; computer systems on which we
depend could fail or experience a security breach; our ability to retain key
members of our senior management team; costs and effects of litigation,
including settlements and judgments; our ability to successfully integrate any
assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel we have
acquired or 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
risks detailed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including our  Annual Report on  Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 2008. Any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this
Form 10-Q and in the other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong
because of the inaccurate assumptions we might make, because of the factors
illustrated above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee.  Because
of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially
different from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on
our behalf. Therefore, these factors should be considered in evaluating the
forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements. We undertake no responsibility to update or revise any
forward-looking statements.


Overview

Timberland Bancorp, Inc., a Washington corporation, was organized on September
8, 1997 for the purpose of becoming the holding company for Timberland Savings
Bank, SSB upon the Bank's conversion from a Washington-chartered mutual
savings bank to a Washington-chartered stock savings bank ("Conversion").  The
Conversion was completed on January 12, 1998 through the sale and issuance of
13,225,000 shares of common stock by the Company.  At June 30, 2009, the
Company had total assets of $675.49 million and total shareholders' equity of
$88.76 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.

The Bank was established in 1915 as "Southwest Washington Savings and Loan
Association."  In 1935, the Bank converted from a state-chartered mutual
savings and loan association to a federally-chartered mutual savings and loan
association, and in 1972 changed its name to "Timberland Federal Savings and
Loan Association."  In 1990, the Bank converted to a federally chartered
mutual savings bank under the name "Timberland Savings Bank, FSB."  In 1991,
the Bank converted to a Washington-chartered mutual savings bank and changed
its name to "Timberland Savings Bank, SSB."   In 2000, the Bank changed its
name to "Timberland Bank."  The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to applicable legal limits.  The
Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System since 1937.  The
Bank is regulated by the Washington State Department of Financial
Institutions, Division of Banks and the FDIC.

                                      28
<PAGE>


The Bank is a community-oriented bank which offers a variety of deposit and
loan products to its customers. The Bank operates 22 branches (including its
main office in Hoquiam) in the following market areas in the state
of Washington:

    *   Grays Harbor County
    *   Thurston County
    *   Pierce County
    *   King County
    *   Kitsap County
    *   Lewis County

Historically, the principal lending activity of the Bank has consisted of the
origination of loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to
four-family residences and loans for the construction of one- to four-family
residences.  Since 2001, the Bank has expanded its business banking
capabilities and has emphasized the origination of commercial real estate and
commercial business 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 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 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, 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 levels of the
allowance as of both June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were 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

                                      29

<PAGE>



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 Market 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
below 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 the Company has the intent and the ability to hold the
security for a sufficient time to recover the recorded value.  An unrealized
loss in the value of an equity security is generally considered temporary when
the fair value of the security is below 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.


Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008

The Company's total assets decreased by $6.39 million, or 0.9%, to $675.49
million at June 30, 2009 from $681.88 million at September 30, 2008.  The
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in net loans receivable and
investment securities, which were partially offset by increases in OREO,
premises and equipment, cash equivalents and MSRs.

Net loans receivable decreased by $11.92 million, or 2.1%, to $545.77 million
at June 30, 2009 from $557.69 million at September 30, 2008 primarily as a
result of a decrease in construction and land development loan balances, home
equity loan balances, commercial business loan balances and an increase in the
allowance for loan losses.

Total deposits decreased by $11.15 million, or 2.2%, to $487.42 million at
June 30, 2009 from $498.57 million at September 30, 2008, primarily as a
result of a decrease in brokered certificate of deposit account balances and
money market account balances.  These decreases were partially offset by
increases in N.O.W. checking account balances and non-brokered certificate of
deposit account balances.

Shareholders' equity increased by $13.91 million, or 18.6%, to $88.76 million
at June 30, 2009 from $74.84 million at September 30, 2008.  The increase in
shareholders' equity was primarily a result of the sale of $16.64 million in
senior preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury Department as part of the
Treasury's Capital Purchase Program.

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

                                      30

<PAGE>

Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents increased by $1.10 million, or 2.6%, to
$43.97 million at June 30, 2009 from $42.87 million at September 30, 2008,
primarily as a result of an increase in interest bearing deposits in banks.
The increase in interest bearing deposits in banks was partially offset by a
decrease in federal funds sold.

Investment Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities:  Investment and
mortgage-backed securities decreased by $7.24 million, or 23.1%, to $24.09
million at June 30, 2009 from $31.33 million at September 30, 2008.  The
decrease was primarily as a result of regular amortization and prepayments on
mortgage-backed securities, a $3.04 million OTTI charge recorded on private
label mortgage-backed securities and a $372,000 decrease in market value on
available for sale securities adjusted through the other comprehensive loss
equity account. 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.

At June 30, 2009, the Company's securities' portfolio was comprised of
mortgage-backed securities of $23.11 million (of which $10.20 million were
classified as held to maturity), mutual funds of $954,000 and U.S. agency
securities of $27,000.  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 $11.92 million, or 2.1% to $545.77
million at June 30, 2009 from $557.69 million at September 30, 2008.  The
decrease in the portfolio was primarily a result of a $30.42 million decrease
in construction loans (net of undisbursed portion of construction loans in
process), a $7.27 million decrease in consumer loans, a $5.82 million decrease
in commercial business loans, a $1.96 million decrease in one- to four-family
loans (including loans held for sale) and a $4.39 million increase in the
allowance for loan losses.   These decreases to net loans receivable were
partially offset by a $32.72 million increase in commercial real estate loans
and a $5.04 million increase in land loans.  The decrease in construction
loans was primarily the result of a $14.88 million decrease in multi-family
and condominium construction loans, a $12.80 million decrease in custom and
owner / builder construction loans, an $11.56 million decrease in one- to
four-family speculative construction loans, and a $7.54 million decrease in
land development loans; which were partially offset by a $2.44 million
increase in commercial real estate construction loans.

Loan originations increased to $236.99 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2009 from $204.60 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.  The
increase in loan volume was primarily a result of increased demand to
refinance one- to four-family mortgage loans at historically low interest
rates.  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 $140.88 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $35.31 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 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 increased by $1.29 million, or
7.6%, to $18.17 million at June 30, 2009 from $16.88 million at September 30,
2008.  The increase was primarily a result of capitalized construction costs
on the Bank's new branch facility in Lewis County, which opened in May 2009.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible:  The value of goodwill at $5.65 million
at June 30, 2009 remained unchanged from September 30, 2008.  The amortized
value of the core deposit intangible decreased to $809,000 at June 30, 2009
from $972,000 at September 30, 2008.  The $163,000 decrease is attributable to
scheduled amortization of the CDI.

Deposits: Deposits decreased by $11.15 million, or 2.2%, to $487.42 million at
June 30, 2009 from $498.57 million at September 30, 2008.  The decrease was
primarily a result of a $25.96 million decrease in brokered certificate of
deposit account balances, an $8.39 million decrease in money market account
balances and a $1.80

                                      31

<PAGE>



million decrease in non-interest bearing account balances.  These decreases
were partially offset by an $11.72 million increase in N.O.W. checking account
balances and a $13.37 million increase in non-brokered certificate of deposit
account balances.  For additional information, see the section entitled
"Deposit Breakdown" included herein.

FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings:  FHLB advances and other borrowings
decreased by $9.72 million, or 9.2%, to $95.66 million at June 30, 2009 from
$105.39 million at September 30, 2008 as the Bank used a portion of its liquid
assets to repay maturing FHLB advances.  For additional information, see "FHLB
Advance Maturity Schedule" included herein.

Shareholders' Equity:  Total shareholders' equity increased by $13.91 million,
or 18.6%, to $88.76 million at June 30, 2009 from $74.84 million at September
30, 2008.  The increase was primarily a result of the sale of $16.64 million
in senior preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury Department as part of the
Treasury's Capital Purchase Program.  As part of the transaction, the Company
also issued warrants to the Treasury to purchase up to $2.5 million in common
stock.  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.

Also impacting shareholders' equity during the nine months ended June 30, 2009
was the payment of $2.64 million in cash dividends on common and preferred
stock and an $823,000 increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss
equity category.

The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the nine
months ended June 30, 2009.  As part of the Company's participation in the
Treasury's Capital Purchase Program, the existing share repurchase plan
announced on February 25, 2008 was suspended indefinitely.  For additional
information, see Item 2 of Part II of this Form 10-Q.

Non-performing Assets:  Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans,
non-accrual investment securities, and OREO and other repossessed assets.  At
June 30, 2009, three loans totaling $830,000 were 90 days or more past due and
still accruing interest.  At September 30, 2008, no loans were 90 days or more
past due and still accruing interest.  Non-performing assets to total assets
increased to 4.88% at June 30, 2009 from 1.83% at September 30, 2008, as
non-accrual loans increased by $13.12 million to $25.11 million at June 30,
2009 from $11.99 million at September 30, 2008, OREO and other repossessed
assets increased by $7.19 million to $7.70 million at June 30, 2009 from
$511,000 at September 30, 2008 and non-accrual investment securities increased
by $175,000.

Total non-accrual loans of $25.11 million at June 30, 2009 were comprised of
46 loans and 38 credit relationships.  Included in these non-accrual loans
were:

    *   Five land development loans totaling $5.88 million (of which the
        largest had a balance of $2.12 million)
    *   Two condominium construction loans totaling $5.68 million (of which
        the largest had a balance of $4.29 million)
    *   Eight commercial real estate loans totaling $5.50 million (of which
        the largest had a balance $1.65 million)
    *   13 land loans totaling $3.38 million (of which the largest had a
        balance of $986,000)
    *   Seven single family home loans totaling $2.32 million (of which the
        largest had a balance of $995,000)
    *   Seven single family speculative loans totaling $2.17 million (of which
        the largest had a balance of $546,000)
    *   Two commercial business loans totaling $93,000
    *   Two home equity loans totaling $92,000.

                                      32

<PAGE>


The Company had net charge-offs totaling $2.98 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2009.  The charge-offs were primarily associated with
construction and land development loans.  In recognition of a real estate
market that reflected lower valuations during the period, net charge-offs
consisted of the following:
    *   $1.38 million on land development loans
    *   $1.02 million on single family speculative construction loans
    *   $250,000 on one commercial business loan
    *   $174,000 on loans secured by land
    *   $100,000 on home equity loans
    *   $41,000 on a single family home loan
    *   $13,000 on other consumer loans.

OREO and other repossessed assets totaled $7.70 million at June 30, 2009 and
consisted of 27 individual properties representing 11 relationships.  The
properties consisted of 17 single family homes totaling $4.77 million, one
land development project with a balance of $2.26 million and nine land loans
totaling $665,000.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30,
2009 and 2008

The Company reported net income of $1.06 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2009 compared to a net loss of $(546,000) for the quarter ended June 30,
2008.  Diluted earnings per common share increased to $0.12 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009 from a loss of $(0.08) for the quarter ended June 30,
2008. The increase in net income and earnings per diluted common share was
primarily attributable to a $3.57 million increase in non-interest income for
the quarter ended June 30, 2009 as non-interest income for the quarter ended
June 30, 2008 was reduced by a $2.82 million loss on the redemption of mutual
funds.   Partially offsetting the increased non-interest income for the
current quarter was a $1.45 million increase in non-interest expense, a
$500,000 increase in provision for loan losses and a $308,000 decrease in net
interest income.

The Company reported net income of $27,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
2009 compared to net income of $2.66 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2008.  However, income available to common shareholders after adjusting
for the preferred stock dividend and the preferred stock discount accretion
was a loss of $(489,000) for the nine months ended June 30, 2009.  Diluted
earnings per common share decreased to a loss of $(0.07) for the nine months
ended June 30, 2009 from earnings of $0.40 for the nine months ended June 30,
2008.  The decrease in net income and earnings per diluted common share was
primarily a result of a $5.09 million increase in the provision for loan
losses, a $2.38 million increase in non-interest expense, a $2.29 million OTTI
charge on investment securities and a $1.02 million decrease in net interest
income.  These items were partially offset by a $2.80 million increase in
non-interest income (excluding OTTI charges and loss on redemption of mutual
funds).

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

Net Income: Earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 increased by $1.60
million, or 293.8%, to $1.06 million from a net loss of $(546,000) for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008.  Earnings available to common shareholders for
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, adjusted for preferred stock dividends of
$210,000 and preferred stock discount accretion of $79,000 was $769,000.
Earnings per diluted common share increased to $0.12 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2009 from a net loss of $(0.08) for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
The $0.20 increase in diluted earnings per common share was primarily a result
of a $2.82 million ($2.59 million net of income tax - $0.40 per diluted common
share) decrease in loss on redemption of mutual funds and an $870,000
($574,000 net of income tax - $0.09 per diluted common share) increase in
non-interest income (excluding OTTI charges and loss on redemption of mutual
funds).  These increases to earnings per diluted common share were partially
offset by a $1.45 million ($960,000 net of income tax - $0.15 per diluted
common share) increase non-interest expense, a $500,000 ($330,000 net of
income tax - $0.05 per diluted common share)

                                      34

increase in the provision for loan losses, a $449,000 ($296,000 net of income
tax - $0.04 per diluted common share) decrease in net interest income,  a
$125,000 ($83,000 net of income tax - $0.01 per diluted common share) increase
in OTTI charges and a $289,000 ($0.04 per diluted common  share) increase in
preferred stock dividends and preferred stock discount accretion.

Earnings for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $2.63 million,
or 99.0%, to net income of $27,000 from net income of $2.66 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2008.  Earnings available to common shareholders
for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, adjusted for preferred stock
dividends of $437,000 and preferred stock discount accretion of $79,000 was a
net loss or $(489,000).  Earnings per diluted common share decreased to a loss
of $(0.07) for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from earnings of $0.40 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2008.  The $0.47 decrease in diluted earnings
per common share was primarily a result of a $5.09 million ($3.36 million net
of income tax - $0.51 per diluted common share) increase in the provision for
loan losses, a $2.29 million ($1.51 million net of income tax - $0.23 per
diluted common share) increase in OTTI charges, a $2.38 million ($1.57 million
net of income tax - $0.24 per diluted common share) increase in non-interest
expense, a $1.02 million ($671,000 net of income tax - $0.10 per diluted
common share) decrease in net interest income, and a $516,000 ($0.07 per
diluted common share) increase in preferred stock dividends and preferred
stock discount accretion.  These decreases to earnings per diluted common
share were partially offset by a $2.82 million ($2.59 million net of income
tax - $0.40 per diluted common share) decrease in loss on redemption of mutual
funds and a $2.80 million ($1.85 million net of income tax - $0.28 per diluted
common share) increase in non-interest income (excluding OTTI charges and loss
on redemption of mutual funds).

Net Interest Income:   Net interest income decreased by $308,000, or 4.7%, to
$6.19 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $6.50 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease in net interest income was
primarily attributable to an increase in non-accrual loans and lower overall
market interest rates.

Total interest and dividend income decreased by $757,000, or 7.3%, to $9.61
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $10.37 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 as the yield on interest earning assets decreased
to 5.99% from 6.75%.  Total average interest earning assets increased by
$27.09 million to $641.47 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from
$614.38 million for quarter ended June 30, 2008.  Total interest expense
decreased by $449,000, or 11.6%, to $3.42 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2009 from $3.87 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as the average
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 2.51% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009 from 2.96% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  Total
average interest bearing liabilities increased by $20.19 million to $546.59
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $526.40 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The net interest margin decreased to 3.86% for
the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from 4.23% for the quarter ended June 30,
2008.  The margin compression was primarily attributable to the reversal of
interest income on loans placed on non-accrual status during the quarter ended
June 30, 2009 and lower overall market interest rates.  The reversal of
interest income on loans placed on non-accrual status during the quarter ended
June 30, 2009 reduced the net interest margin by approximately 22 basis
points.

Net interest income decreased by $1.02 million or 5.1%, to $19.07 million for
the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $20.09 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease in net interest income was primarily
attributable to overall market interest rate decreases, which compressed
margins, and the reversal of interest on loans placed on non-accrual status.
These decreases were, however, partially offset by a larger interest earning
asset base.

Total interest and dividend income decreased by $3.33 million, or 10.2%, to
$29.44 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $32.77 million for
the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as the yield on interest earning assets
decreased to 6.23% from 7.21%.  Total average interest earning assets
increased by $24.47 million to $630.42 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2009 from $605.95 million for nine months

ended June 30, 2008.  Total interest expense decreased by $2.32 million, or
18.3%, to $10.36 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $12.68
million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 as the average rate paid on
interest bearing liabilities decreased to 2.58% for the nine months ended June
30, 2009 from 3.24% for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.  Total average
interest bearing liabilities increased by $14.02 million to $536.72 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $522.70 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2008.  The net interest margin decreased to 4.03% for
the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from 4.42% for the nine months ended June
30, 2008.  The margin compression was primarily attributable to interest rate
decreases by the Federal Reserve which reduced the yield on interest earning
assets at a faster pace than the Bank was able to reduce its funding costs.
The reversal of interest income on loans placed on non-accrual status also
contributed to the margin compression and reduced the net interest margin by
approximately 17 basis points during the nine months ended June 30, 2009.  For
additional information, see the section below entitled "Rate Volume Analysis."

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 $500,000,
or 100.0%, to $1.00 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $500,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The provision for loan losses increased
$5.09 million, or 212.1%, to $7.49 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2009 from $2.40 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.  The
increased provisions for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 were
made 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 the housing market 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 impaired loans,
and other factors to determine an appropriate level of allowance for loan
losses.  Management's analysis, however, for the three and nine months ended
June 30, 2009, 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.  The Bank also reviewed the national
trend of declining home sales with potential housing market value
depreciation. Based on its comprehensive analysis, management deemed the
allowance for loan losses of $12.44 million at June 30, 2009 (2.23% of loans
receivable and 50% 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 June 30, 2009 was $2.39
million.  The allowance for loan losses was $7.08 million (1.26% of loans
receivable and 75% of non-performing loans) at June 30, 2008.  The Company had
net charge-offs of $2.98 million during the nine months ended  June 30, 2009
and net charge-offs of $121,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.

Non-accrual and 90 day past due loans increased by $13.95 million to $25.94
million at June 30, 2009 from $11.99 million at September 30, 2008.
Non-accrual loans were comprised of 46 loans and 38 credit relationships.
Management's evaluation of these 46 loans determined that there was potential
principal impairment of $2.39 million on these loans.  For additional
information, see the section entitled "Non-performing Assets" included herein.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2009 was
adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio
at that date.  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.  For

Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income increased by $3.57 million, or
399.4%, to $2.67 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from a loss of
$(893,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  Excluding the $125,000 OTTI
charge recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and the $2.82 million loss
on redemption of mutual funds during the quarter ended June 30, 2008,
non-interest income increased by $870,000, or 45.1% to $2.80 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $1.93 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2008.  This increase was primarily a result of a $827,000 increase in gain on
sale of loans and a $118,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts.
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 June 30, 2009.  The sale of fixed rate one-to
four-family mortgage loans totaled $69.62 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2009 compared to $16.02 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The
increase in loan sales was primarily attributable to lower interest rates for
30-year fixed rates loans which increased refinancing activity. The increase
in service charge income was primarily a result of implementing an automated
overdraft decision-making program in May 2008 and increasing the fees charged
for overdrafts.  These increases to non-interest income were partially offset
by a $169,000 valuation allowance on MSRs recorded during the quarter ended
June 30, 2009.  The valuation allowance adjusted the recorded value of MSRs to
the current market value as determined by a third party valuation company.

Total non-interest income increased by $3.33 million, or 154.3%, to $5.49
million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $2.16 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2008.  Excluding the $2.29 million OTTI charge
recorded in the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and the $2.28 million loss on
redemption of mutual funds during the nine months ended June 30, 2008,
non-interest income increased by $2.80 million, or 56.2% to $7.78 million for
the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $4.98 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2008.  This increase was primarily a result of a $1.64 million
increase in gain on sale of loans, a $932,000 increase in service charges on
deposit accounts and a $141,000 increase in BOLI net earnings.  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
nine months ended June 30, 2009.  The sale of fixed rate one-to four-family
mortgage loans totaled $140.88 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009
compared to $35.31 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.  The
increase in loan sales was primarily attributable to lower interest rates for
30-year fixed rates loans which increased refinancing activity. The increase
in service charge income was primarily a result of implementing an automated
overdraft decision-making program in May 2008 and increasing the fees charged
for overdrafts. The increase in BOLI income was attributable to a $134,000
non-recurring gain associated with transferring a portion of the BOLI
portfolio to a new insurance company in March 2009.  These increases to non-
interest income were partially offset by a $169,000 valuation allowance on
MSRs recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2009.  The valuation
allowance adjusted the recorded value of MSRs to the current market value as
determined by a third party valuation company.


Non-interest Expense:  Total non-interest expense increased by $1.45 million,
or 29.6%, to $6.37 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from $4.92
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The increase was primarily
attributable to a $375,000 increase in FDIC insurance expense (including a
special FDIC assessment of $300,000), a $391,000 increase in OREO related
expenses, a $200,000 increase in premises and equipment expenses, a $128,000
increase in loan monitoring and foreclosure related expenses (which are
included in the other non-interest expense category), and a $107,000 increase
in salaries and employee benefits.

Total non-interest expense increased by $2.38 million, or 15.9%, to $17.35
million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $14.98 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2008.  The increase was primarily attributable to a
$552,000 increase in OREO related expenses, a $535,000 increase in FDIC
insurance expense (including a $300,000 special FDIC assessment), a $445,000
increase in premises and equipment expenses, a

$252,000 increase in deposit related expenses (which are included in the other
non-interest expense category) and a $210,000 increase in loan monitoring and
foreclosure related expenses (which are included in the other non-interest
expense category).   The increases in OREO related expenses and foreclosure
expenses were primarily a result of increased OREO properties held and an
increase in foreclosure activity.  The increase reflected in premises and
equipment expenses was primarily a result of an insurance settlement received
in December 2007 and the sale of a building in March 2008 that reduced
expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 by a combined $295,000.
Also contributing to the increase in premises and equipment expenses was the
opening in May 2009 of a full service branch facility in Lewis County.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes:  The provision for income taxes
decreased by $299,000 to $435,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 from
$734,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The provision for income taxes
for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was impacted by the $2.82 million loss on
the redemption of mutual funds.  The redemption of the mutual funds resulted
in a capital loss which can only be deducted for tax purposes to the extent
that capital gains are realized within a three year carry back period and a
five year carry forward period.  The Company estimated that it would have
$679,000 in capital gains during the allowable tax periods to offset the
capital loss.  Therefore, $2.14 million of the $2.82 million loss has been
treated as non-deductible for tax purposes.   The Company's effective tax rate
was 29.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and 32.1% exclusive of the
mutual fund redemption loss and associated tax benefit for the quarter ended
June 30, 2008.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily
attributable to an increased percentage of income before taxes that was
non-taxable and an increase in tax credit items.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes decreased by $2.52 million to a net
benefit of $305,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from a provision
of $2.22 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.  The decrease was
primarily a result of decreased earnings before taxes.   For additional
information, see Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

Liquidity
---------
The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, brokered
deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and
mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, proceeds from
maturing securities, 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 nine months ended June 30, 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 $1.1 million, or 2.6% to
$43.97 million at June 30, 2009 from $42.87 million at September 30, 2008.
The increase in liquid assets was primarily reflected in an increase in
interest bearing deposits which was partially offset by a decrease in cash and
due from financial institutions and federal funds sold.

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 June 30, 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 8.12%.
The Bank maintained

                                      39

<PAGE>



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 $95.00 million was
outstanding and $83.10 million was available for additional borrowings at June
30, 2009.  The Bank also has a $10.00 million overnight credit line with
Pacific Coast Bankers' Bank ("PCBB").  At June 30, 2009, the Bank did not have
any outstanding advances on this credit line.

The Bank has also elected to participate in the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity
Guaranty Program ("TLGP").  The TLGP includes the Debt Guarantee Program
("DGP") under which the FDIC guarantees certain senior unsecured debt of
FDIC-insured institutions.  The unsecured debt must be issued on or after
October 14, 2008 and not later than October 31, 2009, and the guarantee is
effective through the earlier of the maturity date or December 31, 2012.  The
DGP coverage limit is equal to 2% of the Bank's liabilities at September 30,
2008.  At June 30, 2009, the Bank did not have any senior unsecured debt which
was being guaranteed under the DGP.

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 PCBB.

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 June 30, 2009,
the Bank had loan commitments totaling $54.03 million and undisbursed loans in
process totaling $29.45 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, 2009
totaled $180.03 million.  Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a
significant amount of its non-brokered certificates of deposit as they mature.
At June 30, 2009, the Bank had no brokered certificate of deposit accounts.


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 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, 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 June 30, 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, 2008.


Item 4.  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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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.  Further, neither the Company nor the Bank is aware of the
threat of any such proceedings.  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
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, 2008 ("2008 Form
10-K").  These updates should be read in conjunction with the 2008 Form 10-K.

Downturns in the real estate markets in our primary market areas could hurt
our business and require increased levels of allowance for loan losses.

     Our business activities and credit exposures are primarily concentrated
in our local market areas of Grays Harbor, Pierce, Thurston, King, Kitsap and
Lewis Counties.  Our residential loan portfolio, and our commercial real
estate and multi-family loan portfolio and a certain number of our other loans
have been affected by the downturn in the residential real estate market.
Further declines in the real estate markets in our primary market areas may
negatively impact our business.  As of June 30, 2009, substantially all of our
loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by real estate located in
Washington.  If real estate values continue to decline, the collateral for our
loans will provide less security.  As a result, our ability to recover on
defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate may be diminished, and
we would be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans.  Therefore if
real estate values continue to decline and as updated appraisals are received,
the Bank may have to increase its allowance for loan losses.  The events and
conditions described in this risk factor could therefore have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


Our provision for loan losses have increased significantly and we may be
required to make further increases in our provision for loan losses and to
charge off additional loans in the future, which could adversely affect our
results of operations.

     For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2009 we recorded a
provision for loan losses of $1.00 million and $7.49 million, respectively,
compared to $500,000 and $2.40 million for the comparable periods of fiscal
2008, respectively.  We also recorded net loan charge-offs of $609,000 and
$2.98 million for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2009,
respectively, compared to $121,000 for each of the comparable periods in
fiscal 2008, respectively.  We are experiencing increased loan delinquencies
and credit losses this fiscal year.  At June 30, 2009 our total non-performing
assets had increased to $32.99 million from $12.50 million at September 30,
2008.  Further, our portfolio is concentrated in construction and land loans
and commercial real estate loans, most of which have a higher risk of loss
than residential mortgage loans.  If current trends in the housing and real
estate markets continue, we expect that we will continue to experience higher
than normal delinquencies and credit losses.  Moreover, if a prolonged
recession occurs we expect that it could severely impact economic conditions
in our market areas and that we could experience significantly higher
delinquencies and credit losses.  As a result, we may be required to make
further increases in our provision for loan losses and to charge off
additional loans in the future, which could adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations, perhaps materially.

If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan
losses, our earnings could be reduced.

We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan
portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of
the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of
many of our loans.  In determining the amount of the allowance for loan
losses, we review our loans and our loss and delinquency experience, and
evaluate economic conditions.  If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance
for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual losses, resulting in
additions to our allowance.  Material additions to our allowance could
materially decrease our net income. Our allowance for loan losses was 2.23% of
total loans, and 50% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2009.  In addition,
bank regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may
require us to increase our provision for loan losses or recognize additional
loan charge-offs.  Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan
charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


The securities purchase agreement between us and Treasury limits our ability
to pay dividends on and repurchase our common stock.

      The securities purchase agreement between us and Treasury provides that
prior to the earlier of (i) December 23, 2011 and (ii) the date on which all
of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have been redeemed by us or
transferred by Treasury to third parties, we may not, without the consent of
Treasury, (a) increase the cash dividend on our common stock or (b) subject to
limited exceptions, redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire shares of our
common stock or preferred stock (other than the Series A Preferred Stock) or
trust preferred securities.  In addition, we are unable to pay any dividends
on our common stock unless we are current in our dividend payments on the
Series A Preferred Stock.  These restrictions, together with the potentially
dilutive impact of the warrant described in the next risk factor, could have a
negative effect on the value of our common stock.   Moreover, holders of our
common stock are entitled to receive dividends only when, and if declared by
our Board of Directors. Although we have historically paid cash dividends on
our common stock, we are not required to do so and our Board of Directors
could reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in the future.


The Series A Preferred Stock impacts net income available to our common
shareholders and earnings per common share, and the warrant we issued to
Treasury may be dilutive to holders of our common stock.

The dividends declared on the Series A Preferred Stock will reduce the net
income available to common shareholders and our earnings per common share.
The Series A Preferred Stock will also receive preferential treatment in the
event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Timberland Bancorp.
Additionally, the ownership interest of the existing holders of our common
stock will be diluted to the extent the warrant we issued to Treasury in
conjunction with the sale to Treasury of the Series A Preferred Stock is
exercised.  The shares of common stock underlying the warrant represent
approximately 5.0% of the shares of our common stock outstanding as of April
30, 2009 (including the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant in total
shares outstanding).  Although Treasury has agreed not to vote any of the
shares of common stock it receives upon exercise of the warrant, a transferee
of any portion of the warrant or of any shares of common stock acquired upon
exercise of the warrant is not bound by this restriction.
