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

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)  Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements for Timberland Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") were prepared in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include
all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition,
results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  However, all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial
statements have been included.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2001
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
entire fiscal year.

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

(c)  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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.

                                   9

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to
common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, without considering any dilutive items.  Diluted earnings
per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the
weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for
items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the
treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company's common
stock during the period.  Common stock equivalents arise from assumed
conversion of outstanding stock options and awarded but not released
Management Recognition and Development Plan ("MRDP") shares. In accordance
with Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee
Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP), issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, shares owned by the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan
that have not been allocated are not considered to be outstanding for the
purpose of computing earnings per share.  At December 31, 2001, there were
396,750 ESOP shares that had not been allocated.

                                  Three Months Ended December 31,

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

The following analysis discusses the material changes in the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company at and for the three months
ended December 31, 2001.  This report contains certain "forward-looking
statements."  The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is
including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the
protection of such safe harbor with forward looking statements.  These forward
looking statements may describe future plans or strategies and include the
Company's expectations of future financial results.  The words "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements.  The Company's ability to predict results
or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain.  Factors
which could affect actual results include competition in the financial
services market for both deposits and loans, interest rate trends, the
economic climate in the Company's market areas and the country as a whole,
loan delinquency rates, and changes in federal and state regulation.  These
factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and
undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.


Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001

Total Assets: Total assets decreased by $5.9 million to $380.4 million at
December 31, 2001 from $386.3 million at September 30, 2001.  The change is
primarily reflected in an $11.9 million decrease in loans held for sale and a
$3.1 million decrease in cash and interest bearing deposits in banks. These
decreases are partially offset by a $9.5 million increase in investments and
mortgage-backed securities.

Cash and Due from Financial Institutions:   Cash and due from financial
institutions decreased to $8.4 million at December 31, 2001 from $10.0 million
at September 30, 2001.

Interest Bearing Deposits in Banks:   Interest bearing deposits in banks
decreased to $1.9 million at December 31, 2001 from $3.4 million at September
30, 2001.

Investments and Mortgage-backed Securities: Investments and mortgage-backed
securities increased to $38.9 million at December 31, 2001 from $29.4 million
at September 30, 2001.  The increase is primarily a result of the Bank
converting $12.2 million in fixed rate loans held for sale to mortgage-backed
securities, and is partially offset by scheduled amortization and prepayments.
The securitization of fixed rate mortgage loans held for sale continues the
Company's practice first begun in fiscal year 2001, which changes the
character of such loans to investments from loans.

Loans Receivable, and Loans Held-for-sale, net of allowance for loan losses:
Net loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, decreased 4.1% to $310.6
million at December 31, 2001 from $323.8 at September 30, 2001, primarily due
to the conversion of $12.2 million of the Bank's loans held for sale to
mortgage-backed securities and the sale of $17.2 million in fixed rate
one-to-four family mortgage loans.  As a result of these transactions,
one-to-four family mortgage loans in the Company's portfolio decreased by
$12.6 million.

Real Estate Owned ("REO"):   Real estate owned remained constant at $1.0
million for December 31, 2001 as compared to September 30, 2001.

                                  11

Premises and Equipment:   Premises and equipment increased by $615,000 to
$11.3 million at December 31, 2001 from $10.7 million at September 30, 2001.
This increase is primarily due to the purchase of a building in Olympia
(Pierce County) for a future branch and the acquisition of a building in
Hoquiam (Grays Harbor County) for future office space.

Deposits: Deposits decreased by 0.7% to $240.8 million at December 31, 2001
from $242.4 million at September 30, 2001, primarily due to a $6.4 million
decrease in the Bank's certificate of deposit accounts.  The total of
certificates of deposit over $100,000 decreased $13.6 million, while
certificates under $100,000 increased $7.2 million.  With the proceeds from
loan sales and the increase in smaller denomination certificates of deposit,
the Bank was able to reduce its reliance on the higher rate, larger
denomination deposits.  This decrease is partially offset by a $3.0 million
increase in money market accounts and a $1.7 million increase in N.O.W
checking accounts.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Advances: FHLB advances decreased by 4.3% to
$66.0 million at December 31, 2001 from $69.0 million at September 30, 2001,
as funds from loan sales and loan payoffs were used to pay down the level of
advances.

Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders' equity decreased by $518,000 to
$71.3 million at December 31, 2001 from $71.8 million at September 30, 2001.
The components of shareholders' equity were affected by the repurchase of
115,000 shares of the Company's stock for $1.8 million, net income of $1.7
million, the payment of $502,000 in dividends to shareholders, and a $313,000
decrease in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income category.  Also
affecting shareholders' equity was a $132,000 increase in the equity component
related to the unearned shares issued to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and
a $161,000 increase in the equity component related to unearned shares issued
to the Management Recognition and Development Plan.

On September 24, 2001 the Company announced a plan to repurchase 200,872
shares of the Company's stock.  This marked the Company's ninth 5% stock
repurchase plan.  As of December 31, 2001, the Company had repurchased 159,000
of these shares.   The Company has repurchased a total of 2,363,032 (35.7%) of
the 6,612,500 shares that were issued when the Company went public in January
1998.

Non-performing Assets:  Total non-performing assets decreased to $4.3 million
at December 31, 2001 from $5.1 million at September 30, 2001, primarily due to
a $774,000 decrease in non-performing loans.   The Company's non-performing
asset ratio to total asset ratio ("NPA") decreased to 1.14% at December 31,
2001 from 1.32% at September 30, 2001.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2001
and 2000

Net Income:  Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 was $1.7
million, or $0.42 per diluted share ($0.43 per basic share) compared to $1.5
million, or $0.35 per diluted share ($0.35 per basic share) for the quarter
ended December 31, 2000.    Primary factors affecting the improved performance
in 2001 were increased net interest income, increased fee income, and
increased income related to mortgage loans sold.  These increases were
partially offset by higher non-interest expenses.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased 20.3% to $5.0 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2001 from $4.1 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2000, primarily due to decreased funding costs.

Total interest income decreased slightly to $7.94 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2001 from $7.96 million for the quarter ended December 31,
2000, as the earnings on increased levels of average earning assets helped
offset the impact of lower average yields on all categories of earning assets.
The yield on earning assets was 8.63% for the quarter ended December 31, 2001
compared to 8.98% for the quarter ended December 31, 2000.

Total interest expense decreased $854,000 to $3.0 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2001 from $3.8 million for the quarter ended December 31,
2000. The average cost of funds for each type of the Bank's deposit accounts
and FHLB borrowings for the current quarter were lower than a year ago.  The
overall cost of funds was 4.06% for the quarter ended December 31, 2001
compared to 5.47% for the quarter ended December 31, 2000.  In addition,
average borrowings from the FHLB were lower than a year ago, also reducing
interest expense.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for the three months
ended December 31, 2001 was $392,000 compared to $150,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 2000.  Management conducts regular analyses of the Bank's
loan portfolio, which it uses to review the adequacy of its allowance for loan
losses.  The analyses present data on loans by type of loan, internal loan
classifications, historical loss percentages, and economic factors considered
by management in reviewing the allowance for loan losses.  Based on its
internal analysis at December 31, 2001 and trends in the loan portfolio -
management deemed the allowance for loan

                                      15
<PAGE>

losses of $3.4 million (1.07% of loans receivable and loans held for sale and
101.1% of non-performing loans) adequate to provide for estimated losses based
on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that
date.  Net charge-offs for the current quarter were $90,000 compared to
$22,000 in the same quarter of 2000.

Noninterest Income: Total non-interest income increased to $1.2 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2001 from $608,000 for the quarter ended
December 31, 2000, primarily due to a $238,000 increase in service charges on
deposits, a $212,000 increase in the gain on sale of loans, and a $117,000
increase in servicing income on loans sold.  The increased deposit-related
service charge income is primarily a result of the Bank's checking account
acquisition program.  The change in rate environment from 2000 to 2001
significantly increased the Company's loan origination activity, both from new
loans made and from refinancing of existing loans at lower interest rates.
With the lower rates, the Bank originated more fixed-rate loans in 2001 than
in 2000, resulting in increased loan sales, as the Bank sells most fixed-rate
one-to-four family mortgage loans.  The increased loan sale gains and
servicing income are a result of the Company selling $17.2 million in fixed-
rate one-to-four family loans and converting $12.2 million in one-to-four
family mortgage loans to mortgage-backed securities during the quarter.

Noninterest Expense: Total non-interest expense increased to $3.1 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2001 from $2.3 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2000. This increase is primarily due to a $430,000
increase in salary and employee benefit expense, a $68,000 increase in
premises and equipment expenses, a $64,000 increase in advertising expense,
and a $52,000 increase in ATM operating expenses.

The increase in salary and employee benefit expense is primarily a result of
adding employees to staff the Bank's new branches (Tumwater and Tacoma),
hiring additional commercial loan staff to manage the Bank's business banking
activities, and expenses associated with the Management Recognition and
Development Plan.

Provision for Income Taxes:  The provision for income taxes increased to
$936,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 from $764,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 2000 primarily as a result of higher income
before income taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate was 35.4% in 2001
compared to 33.2% in 2000.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from
principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage backed securities, and
proceeds from the sale of loans, maturing securities and FHLB advances. 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.

The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the
availability of sufficient funds to fund loan originations and deposit
withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments and to take advantage of
investment opportunities.  The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and
short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs.  At December 31,
2001, 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 21.3%. The Bank also maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the
FHLB-Seattle that provided for immediately available

                                      16
<PAGE>

advances up to an aggregate amount of $134.0 million, under which $66.0
million was outstanding at December 31, 2001.

Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of the
Bank's management.  The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based
upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan
sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, and (iv) yields available on
interest-bearing deposits.  Excess liquidity is invested generally in
interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency
obligations.  If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and collateral
for repurchase agreements.

The Bank's primary investing activity is the origination of one-to-four family
mortgage loans and construction and land development loans.  At December 31,
2001, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $26.5 million and undisbursed
loans in process totaling $35.9 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 December 31, 2001 totaled $104.3 million.  Historically, the Bank has
been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they mature.

Federally-insured state-chartered banks are required to maintained minimum
levels of regulatory capital.  Under current FDIC regulations, insured
state-chartered banks generally must maintain (i) a ratio of Tier 1 leverage
capital to total assets of at least 3.0% (4.0% to 5.0% for all but the most
highly rated banks), (ii) a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of
at least 4.0% and (iii) a ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of at
least 8.0%.  At December 31, 2001, the Bank was in compliance with all
applicable capital requirements.  For additional details see "Regulatory
Capital".
