recurring nature. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
2005 ("2005 Form 10-K").  The results of operations for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 2006 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 Timberland Bancorp, Inc. 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)  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.

(d) Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the June
30, 2006 presentation with no change to net income or shareholders' equity
previously reported.

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income 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 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
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 ESOP that have not been allocated are not considered to be outstanding
for the purpose of computing earnings per share.  At June 30, 2006 and 2005,
there were 255,682 and 290,949 ESOP shares, respectively, that had not been
allocated.

(3) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to October 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation
expense using the intrinsic value method as required by Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and
as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS" or
"Statement") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  No
compensation cost for stock options was reflected in net income for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2005, as all options granted had an exercise price
equal to the market price of the underlying common stock at the date of the
grant.

On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) (revised version of
SFAS No. 123) 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 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.

(4) STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Stock Option Plans
------------------
Under the Company's stock option plans (1999 Stock Option Plan and 2003 Stock
Option Plan), the Company may grant options for up to a combined total of
811,250 shares of common stock to certain key employees and directors.  The
exercise price of each option equals the fair market value of the Company's
common stock on the date of grant.  An option's maximum term is ten years.
Options vest in annual installments 10% on each of the ten anniversaries from
the date of the grant.  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.  The Company
performs the accelerated vesting analysis in February of each year based on
the results of the most recently completed fiscal year.  The Company met all
four of the performance criteria items for the year ended September 30, 2005.
At June 30, 2006, options for 139,208 shares are available for future grant
under these plans.

Following is activity under the plans:

The fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors is calculated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  There were no options granted
during the nine months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005.

Stock Grant Plans
-----------------
The Company adopted the MRDP in 1998, which was subsequently approved by
shareholders in 1999 for the benefit of officers, employees and non-employee
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 264,500 shares of
the Company's common stock.  The Company awarded 204,927 shares under the MRDP
to officers and directors in 2001.   No shares have been awarded since 2001.
Awards under the MRDP were made in the form of restricted shares of common
stock that were 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 was recognized over a five-year
vesting period, with 20% vesting immediately upon grant.  At June 30, 2006,
participants were fully vested in all shares awarded.  There was no activity
during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006 related to MRDP shares.

Expenses for Stock Compensation Plans

Compensation expenses for all stock-based plans were as follows:

(6) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 new interpretation is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Company will adopt the
provisions of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007 and is currently evaluating the
guidance contained in FIN 48 to determine the effect adoption of the guidance
will have on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

                                      13




In March 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets ("SFAS No. 156").  SFAS No. 156 amends Statement No. 140,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities, to require all separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.
SFAS No. 156 also permits servicers to subsequently measure each separate
class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value rather than at the
lower of cost or market.  For those companies that elect to measure their
servicing assets and liabilities at fair value, SFAS No. 156 requires the
difference between the recorded value and fair value at the date of adoption
to be recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of
the beginning of the fiscal year in which the election is made.  The Company
will adopt SFAS No. 156 beginning in the first quarter of 2007.  The Company
is currently assessing the impact of adopting SFAS No. 156 but does not expect
the standard to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

In February 2006, FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") No. 123R-4,
"Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee
Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a
Contingent Event."  This Staff Position addresses the classification of
options and similar instruments issued as employee compensation that allow for
cash settlement upon the occurrence of a contingent event.  FSP No. 123R-4
provides that cash settlement features that can be exercised only upon the
occurrence of a contingent event that is outside the employee's control does
not require classifying the option or similar instrument as a liability until
it becomes probable that the event will occur.  The Company implemented the
guidance of FSP No. 123R-4 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006.

On December 16, 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised), "Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R))."  This Statement establishes standards for accounting for
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or
services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs
liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value
of the entity's equity instruments, or that may be settled by the issuance of
those equity instruments.  SFAS No. 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based
compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans,
performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share
purchase plans.  SFAS No. 123(R) replaces existing requirements under SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and eliminates the ability to
account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."  Adoption of the Statement impacts
the consolidated financial statements by requiring compensation expense to be
recorded for the unvested portion of stock options, which have been granted or
are subsequently granted.  This Statement became effective for the Company on
October 1, 2005.

In May 2005, FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes for Error
Corrections (SFAS No. 154)."  SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting
for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections.  It
established, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required
method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of
explicit transaction requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting
principle.  SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections
of errors made in the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.  The
adoption of SFAS No. 154 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.


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 and
nine months ended June 30, 2006.  This analysis as well as other sections of
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

                                      14





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.  The Company's
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: interest
rate fluctuations; economic conditions in the Company's primary market area;
deposit flows; demand for residential, commercial real estate, consumer,
technological factors affecting operations and other types of loans; real
estate values; success of new products and services; and other risks detailed
in the Company's reports filed with the SEC, including its 2005 Form 10-K.
Accordingly, these factors should be considered in evaluating forward-looking
statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.  The
Company undertakes 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
6,612,500 shares of common stock by the Company.  At June 30, 2006, the
Company had total assets of $556.54 million and total shareholders' equity of
$78.82 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."   On December 29, 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
under the Savings Association Insurance Fund.  The Bank has been a member of
the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") System since 1937.  The Bank is regulated
by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks and
the FDIC.

The Bank is a community-oriented bank which has traditionally offered a
variety of savings products to its customers while concentrating its lending
activities on real estate mortgage loans.  The Bank operates 21 branches
(including its main office in Hoquiam) and a loan production office in the
following market areas:

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company has identified two 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.

                                      15



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

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 as an offset 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 MSR portfolio.  The Company's methodology for estimating the fair value of
MSRs is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions.  For example, the
determination of fair value uses anticipated prepayment speeds.  Actual
prepayment experience may differ and any difference may have a material effect
of 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.


Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005

The Company's total assets increased by $3.77 million to $556.54 million at
June 30, 2006 from $552.77 million at September 30, 2005, primarily
attributable to a $9.81 million increase in net loans receivable.  This
increase was partially offset by a $4.79 million decrease in investment and
mortgage-backed securities and a $1.98 million decrease in cash and due from
financial institutions.

Total deposits increased by $7.71 million to $419.38 million at June 30, 2006
from $411.67 million at September 30, 2005 primarily attributable to an
increase in certificate of deposit accounts.  Shareholders' equity increased
by $4.18 million to $78.82 million at June 30, 2006 from $74.64 million at
September 30, 2005 primarily attributable to retained net income.

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

Cash and Due from Financial Institutions: Cash and due from financial
institutions decreased to $26.74 million at June 30, 2006 from $28.72 million
at September 30, 2005.  The decrease was primarily a result of non-interest
bearing accounts and interest bearing deposits in banks decreasing by $6.80
million to $16.29 million at June 30, 2006 from $23.08 million at September
30, 2005.  The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $4.81 million
in federal funds sold to $10.45 million at June 30, 2006 from $5.64 million at
September 31, 2005.

Investment Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities:  Investment and
mortgage-backed securities decreased by $4.79 million to $90.61 million at
June 30, 2006 from $95.40 million at September 30, 2005, due to regular
amortization and prepayments on mortgage-backed securities.  At June 30, 2006,
the Company's securities' portfolio was comprised of U.S. agency securities of
$33.52 million, mutual funds of $31.91 million, mortgage-backed securities of
$19.40 million, and FHLB stock of $5.70 million.  The mutual funds invest

                                      16





primarily in mortgage-backed products and U.S. agency securities.  For
additional information, see the "Investment Securities" table included herein.

Loans:  Net loans receivable increased by $9.81 million to $397.92 million at
June 30, 2006 from $388.11 million at September 30, 2005.  The increase in the
portfolio was primarily a result of a $12.95 million increase in construction
loans (net of undisbursed portion), a $4.55 million increase in consumer
loans, and a $4.28 million increase in land loans.  Partially offsetting these
increases were decreases of $5.94 million in one-to-four family mortgage
loans, $2.88 million in commercial real estate loans, $1.86 million in
commercial business loans, and $1.59 million in multi-family loans.

Loan demand remained strong as loan originations totaled $60.06 million and
$169.82 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006 compared to
$58.25 million and 168.63 million for the three and nine months ended June 30,
2005.  The Bank also continued to sell longer-term fixed rate loans for asset
liability management purposes.  The Bank sold fixed rate one-to-four family
mortgage loans totaling $4.54 million and $17.60 million for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively compared to $8.30 million and
$16.26 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005,
respectively.

For additional information, see the sections entitled "Loan Portfolio
Composition" and "Construction and Land Development Loan Portfolio
Composition" included herein.

Other Real Estate Owned and Other Repossessed Items:  Other real estate owned
("OREO") and other repossessed items decreased to $112,000 at June 30, 2006
from $509,000 at September 30, 2005 as several properties were sold.  At June
30, 2006, OREOs were comprised of three land parcels totaling $112,000.  For
additional information, see the section entitled "Non-performing Assets"
included herein.

Premises and Equipment:  Premises and equipment increased by $554,000 to
$16.42 million at June 30, 2006 from $15.86 million at September 30, 2005,
primarily attributable to remodeling costs associated with several branch and
administrative facilities.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible:  The value of goodwill and the amortized
value of core deposit intangible decreased $246,000 to $7.24 million at June
30, 2006 from $7.48 million at September 30, 2005.  The decrease is
attributable to scheduled amortization of the core deposit intangible.

Deposits: Deposits increased by $7.71 million to $419.38 million at June 30,
2006 from $411.67 million at September 30, 2005.  The deposit increase was
primarily as a result of a $21.65 million increase in certificate of deposit
accounts and a $2.58 million increase in non-interest bearing accounts.  These
increases were partially offset by decreases of $11.33 million in money market
accounts, $3.40 million in savings accounts, and $1.78 million in N.O.W.
checking accounts.  For additional information, see the section entitled
"Deposit Breakdown" included herein.

FHLB Advances:  FHLB advances decreased to $53.78 million at June 30, 2006
from $62.35 million at September 30, 2005 as the Bank repaid several advances
that matured.  For additional information, see "FHLB Advance Maturity
Schedule" included herein.

Shareholders' Equity:  Total shareholders' equity increased by $4.18 million
to $78.82 million at June 30, 2006 from $74.64 million at September 30, 2005,
primarily as a result of net income of $6.01 million and a $1.82 million
increase in additional paid in capital from the exercise of stock options and
vesting associated with the Company's benefit plans.  Also increasing
shareholders' equity was a decrease of $396,000 in the equity component
related to unearned shares issued to the ESOP.  These increases to
shareholders' equity were partially offset by the payment of $1.81 million in
dividends to shareholders, the repurchase of 58,200 shares of

                                      17





the Company's common stock for $1.75 million and a $489,000 increase in
accumulated other comprehensive loss.

On April 7, 2005, the Company announced a plan to repurchase up to 5% of the
Company's outstanding shares, or 187,955 shares.  This represents the
Company's 13th stock repurchase plan.  As of June 30, 2006, the Company had
repurchased 86,050 of these shares at an average price of $27.79.
Cumulatively, the Company has repurchased 3,425,321 shares (51.8%) of the
6,612,500 shares that were issued when the Company went public in January
1998.  The 3,425,321 shares have been repurchased at an average price of
$15.64 per share.  For additional information, see Item 2 of Part II of this
Form 10-Q.

Non-performing Assets:  Non-performing assets to total assets decreased to
0.37% at June 30, 2006 from 0.62% at September 30, 2005, as total
non-performing assets decreased to $2.05 million at June 30, 2006 from $3.44
million at September 30, 2005.  The ratio decreased primarily as a result of a
$991,000 decrease in non-performing loans and a $397,000 decrease in OREO.

The non-performing loan total of $1.94 million at June 30, 2006 consisted of a
$1.36 million commercial construction loan, $542,000 in one-to-four family
loans, $29,000 in consumer loans, and an $8,000 land loan.  Despite having a
higher historical percentage of non-performing loans than the Company's
relevant peer group, the Company's actual charge-offs have remained low.  The
Company had a net recovery of $21,000 during the nine months ended June 30,
2006 and during the last five fiscal years its net charge-offs to outstanding
loans ratio has averaged less than 0.10% per year.  For additional
information, see the section entitled "Non-performing Assets" included herein.

FHLB Advance Maturity Schedule

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

A portion of these advances have a putable feature and may be called by the
FHLB earlier than the above schedule indicates.  The Bank was notified on June
30, 2006 that a $20.0 million putable advance with a rate of

                                        22





4.77% would be called in July 2006.  The Bank anticipates replacing a portion
of this advance with short-term advances.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30,
2006 and 2005

The Company's net income increased by $226,000, or 12.3% to $2.06 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $1.84 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2005.  Diluted earnings per share increased by 9.8% to $0.56 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $0.51 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2006 net income increased by $1.23 million
or 25.8% to $6.01 million from $4.78 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2005.  Diluted earnings per share increased by 26.0% to $1.65 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2006 from $1.31 for the nine months ended June 30, 2005.

The improved profitability for the first three quarters of the fiscal year is
largely a result of the Company's focus on balancing the re-pricing
characteristics of its assets and liabilities.  This has allowed the
maintenance of a healthy net interest margin in spite of the current flat
yield curve environment.  The net interest margin increased to 5.00% and 4.90%
for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, from 4.74%
and 4.62% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

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

Net Income: Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 increased to $2.06
million, or $0.56 per diluted share ($0.58 per basic share) from $1.84
million, or $0.51 per diluted share ($0.54 per basic share) for the quarter
ended June 30, 2005.  The $0.05 increase in diluted earnings per share for the
quarter ended June 30, 2006 was primarily a result of a $575,000 ($380,000 net
of income tax - $0.11 per diluted share) increase in net interest income after
provision for loan losses.  This increase was partially offset by a $326,000
($215,000 net of income tax - $0.06 per diluted share) increase in
non-interest expense.

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 increased $1.23 million to
$6.01 million, or $1.65 per diluted share ($1.70 per basic share) from $4.78
million, or $1.31 per diluted share ($1.37 per basic share) for the nine
months ended June 30, 2005.  The $0.34 increase in diluted earnings per share
for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily the result of a $1.89
million ($1.25 million net of income tax - $0.35 per diluted share) increase
in net interest income after provision for loan losses and a $166,000
($110,000 net of income tax - $0.03 per diluted share) increase in
non-interest income.  These items were partially offset by a $251,000
($166,000 net of income tax - $0.04 per diluted share) increase in
non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income:   Net interest income increased $479,000 to $6.29 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $5.81 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2005, primarily as a result of a larger interest earning asset base
and the collection of $216,000 in prepayment penalties on two participation
loans that paid off during the quarter ended June 30, 2006.  The prepayment
penalties were recorded as interest income and contributed 17 basis points to
the quarterly net interest margin.  Total interest income increased $1.03
million to $9.07 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $8.04
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as average total interest earning
assets increased by $12.45 million.  The yield on interest earning assets
increased to 7.22% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from 6.56% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005.  Total interest expense increased by $558,000 to
$2.79 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $2.23 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005 as the average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities increased to 2.65% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from 2.10%
for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.  Partially offsetting the increased rate
on interest-bearing liabilities was a $1.89 million decrease in the average
balance of interest-bearing liabilities during the quarter ended June 30,
2006.  The net interest margin increased to 5.00% for the quarter ended June
30, 2006 from 4.74% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

                                         23





Net interest income increased $1.78 million to $18.38 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2006 from $16.60 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2005, primarily due to a larger interest earning asset base and an
increase in the Company's interest rate spread.  Total interest income
increased $3.40 million to $26.17 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2006 from $22.77 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as average
total interest earning assets increased by $20.07 million.  The yield on
interest earning assets was 6.98% for the nine months ended June 30, 2006
compared to 6.33% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005.  Total interest
expense increased by $1.63 million to $7.79 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2006 from $6.17 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as
average interest bearing liabilities increased by $8.39 million.  The average
rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased to 2.47% for the nine
months ended June 30, 2006 from 2.00% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005.
The net interest margin increased to 4.90% for the nine months ended June 30,
2006 from 4.62% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005.

Provision for Loan Losses:  There was no provision for loan losses established
for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 as credit quality remained strong. The
allowance for loan losses, however, did increase during this period as a
result of a net recovery of $21,000.

The Bank has established a comprehensive methodology for determining the
provision for loan losses.  On a quarterly basis the Bank performs an analysis
taking into consideration pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan
portfolio.  The factors include changes in the size and composition of the
loan portfolio, historic loss experience for various loan segments, changes in
economic conditions, delinquency rates, a detailed analysis of loans on
non-accrual status, and other factors to determine the level of allowance for
loan losses needed.  Based on its comprehensive analysis, management deemed
the allowance for loan losses of $4.12 million at June 30, 2006 (1.03% of
loans receivable and 212.92% 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.  The allowance for loan losses was $4.10 million
(1.05% of loans receivable and 137.87% of non-performing loans) at June 30,
2005.    The Company had net recovery of $1,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 and did not have any charge-offs for the three months ended June
30, 2005.  The Company had a net recovery of $21,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2006 compared to a net charge-off of $4,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2005. For additional information, see the section entitled "Activity
in the Allowance for Loan Losses" included herein.

Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income decreased $20,000 to $1.53
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $1.55 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to $121,000 decrease in gains on sale of
loans and a $30,000 decrease in servicing income on loans sold.  The decrease
in income from loan sales was primarily due to a decreased volume of fixed
rate qualifying loans that were originated and sold during the quarter.  The
Bank sold fixed rate loans totaling $4.54 million during the quarter ended
June 30, 2006 compared to sales of $8.30 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2005.  These decreases were partially offset by a $48,000 increase in fees
from the sale of non-deposit investment products (which are recorded in the
"other" non-interest income category), a $46,000 increase in service charges
on deposits, and a $43,000 increase in ATM transaction fees.

Total non-interest income increased by $166,000 to $4.59 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2006 from $4.43 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2005, primarily due to a $227,000 increase in fees from the sale of
non-deposit investment products, a $164,000 increase in service charges on
deposits, and a $110,000 increase in ATM transaction fees.  These increases
were partially offset by a $349,000 decrease in gains from loan sales.  Income
from loan sales was larger in the period a year ago in part due to the sale of
the Bank's credit card portfolio in December 2004, which resulted in a gain of
$245,000.

Non-interest Expense:  Total non-interest expense increased by $326,000 to
$4.79 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $4.47 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005.  The increase was primarily a


                                      24





result of a $199,000 increase in salary expense, an $89,000 increase in
professional fees, and a $43,000 increase in postage and courier expense.

Total non-interest expense increased by $251,000 to $14.15 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2006 from $13.90 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2005.  The increase was primarily attributable to a $369,000 increase
in salary and benefit expense, a $153,000 increase in premises and equipment
expense, a $115,000 increase in professional fees, and a $105,000 increase in
state and local taxes.  Partially offsetting these increases was a $256,000
decrease in the other non-interest expense category.  For the nine months
ended June 30, 2005 the other non-interest expense category included expenses
related to the October 2004 branch acquisition and expenses related to one of
the Company's benefit plans.  Also partially offsetting the increases to
non-interest expense were decreases in advertising expense, ATM expense, core
deposit intangible amortization expense, and a net improvement in the real
estate operations category.  The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 61.59%
for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 from 66.08% for the nine months ended
June 30, 2005.

Provision for Income Taxes:  The provision for income taxes increased to
$964,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $961,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2005 primarily as a result of increased net income before
taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate was 31.87% for the quarter ended June
30, 2006 and 34.37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.  The higher effective
tax rate in the previous year was primarily a result of tax adjustments
relating to the Company's branch acquisition.

The provision for income taxes increased to $2.81 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2006 from $2.24 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005
primarily as a result of increased net income before taxes.  The Company's
effective tax rate was 31.84% for the nine months ended June 30, 2006 and
31.89% for the nine months ended June 30, 2005.


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.

An analysis of liquidity should also include a review of the changes that
appear in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine
months ended June 30, 2006.  The 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 certain 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 of cash and due from financial institutions decreased by
$1.98 million to $26.74 million at June 30, 2006 from $28.72 million at
September 30, 2005.  The Company's liquid assets decreased primarily due to
funding a portion of the loan portfolio growth.

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, 2006,
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
13.25%.  The Bank also

                                       25




maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB of Seattle that
provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate amount of
$136.68 million, under which $53.78 million was outstanding at June 30, 2006.

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 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, commercial mortgage loans, construction and land development
loans, and consumer loans.  At June 30, 2006, the Bank had loan commitments
totaling $49.24 million and undisbursed loans in process totaling $51.33
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, 2006 totaled $132.32 million.
Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its
certificates of deposit as they mature.

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, 2006, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable
capital requirements.  For additional details see the section below entitled
"Regulatory Capital."

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, 2005                                                       .

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, 2006 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 March 31, 2006, 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 error 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.
