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 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 six months ended
March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the entire fiscal year.
(b) Principles of Consolidation: The interim condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Timberland Bank ("Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Timberland Service Corp. All significant inter-company balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.
(c) Operating Segment: The Company provides a broad range of financial
services to individuals and companies located primarily in western Washington.
These services include demand, time and savings deposits; real estate,
business and consumer lending; escrow services; and investment advisory
services. While the Company's chief operating decision maker monitors the
revenue streams from the various products and services, operations are managed
and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly,
all of the Company's operations are considered by management to be one
reportable operating segment.
(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
March 31, 2009 presentation with no change to net income or total
shareholders' equity previously reported. Additional paid-in capital and
stock warrants, which were previously reported as separate components in the
shareholders' equity section are now reported as part of common stock and
preferred stock.
(2) U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT'S CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM
On December 23, 2008, the Company received $16.64 million from the U.S.
Treasury Department 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.
10
Preferred stock callable at the option of the Company is initially recorded at
the amount of proceeds received. Any discount from the liquidation value is
accreted to the expected call date and charged to retained earnings. This
accretion is recorded using the level-yield method. Preferred dividends paid
(declared and accrued) and any accretion is deducted from net income for
computing income available to common shareholders and earnings per share
computations.

mortgage-backed securities of $993,000 and $2.16 million, respectively. As
discussed later in Note 13, effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted
Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS 115-2, Recognition and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which provides for the
bifurcation of other-than-temporary impairments 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. As a result of adopting FAS 115-2, the Company recorded
$749,000 in impairments not related to credit losses through other
comprehensive income rather than through earnings during the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and reclassified $91,000 from retained earnings to other
comprehensive income related to impairment of debt securities at December 31,
2008 that were not due to credit losses.
To determine the component of the gross other-than-temporary impairment
related to credit losses, the Company compared the amortized cost basis of
each other-than-temporarily impaired 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 summarized activity related to the amount of
other-than-temporary impairments related to credit losses during the six
months ended March 31, 2009:

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2009 the Company recorded a
$7,000 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 $18.05 million and $23.00 million at March 31, 2009 and September 30,
2008, respectively.
The contractual maturities of debt securities at March 31, 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) 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 December 31,
2008, and therefore did not pay a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2008 and
will not repurchase capital stock in the near term. The FHLB noted their
primary concern with meeting the risk-based capital requirements relates to
the potential impact of other-than-temporary impairment 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 December
31, 2008, 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 mortgage backed
securities causing a significant decline in their regulatory capital status;
2) the economic losses resulting from credit deterioration on the mortgage
backed securities increases significantly and 3) capital preservation
strategies being utilized by the FHLB become ineffective.

(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 at the end of 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. As of June 30, 2008, when the annual
impairment test was performed, the fair value of the Company's reporting unit
exceeded the recorded value.
One of the circumstances evaluated when determining if an impairment test of
goodwill is needed more frequently than annually is extent and duration that
the Company's market capitalization (total common shares outstanding
multiplied by current stock price) is less than total equity applicable to
common shareholders.
16
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. 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 March 31,2009 and 2008, there were 370,294 and 405,562 ESOP shares,
respectively, that had not been allocated.

(a) For the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, options to purchase
201,003 and 168,864 shares of common stock, respectively, were
outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
common share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the
average market price of the common stock and, therefore, their effect
would have been anti-dilutive. There were no options to purchase shares
of common stock excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per
share for the three and months ended March 31, 2008.
(b) For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the effect of dilutive stock
options was computed to be 2,607 shares. However, the dilutive effect of
these stock options has been excluded from the diluted EPS computation
for the six months ended March 31, 2009 because the Company reported a
net loss for the period and, therefore, their effect would have been
anti-dilutive.
(c) For the three and six months ended March 31, 2009, warrants to purchase
370,899 and 185,449 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 six months ended March 31, 2008.
(d) For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the effect of dilutive stock
warrants was computed to be 1,085 shares. However, the dilutive effect
of these stock warrants has been excluded from the diluted EPS
computation for the six months ended March 31, 2009 because the Company
reported a net loss 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 Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS" or "Statement") 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 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 March 31, 2009, options for 275,738 shares are available for future grant
under the 2003 Stock Option Plan.

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 six
months ended March 31, 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 six months ended March 31, 2008 the
Company awarded 14,315 MRDP shares to officers and directors. These shares
had a weighted average grant date fair value of $14.69 per share.
At March 31, 2009, there were a total of 55,858 unvested MRDP shares with an
aggregated grant date fair value of $672,000. There were 3,479 MRDP shares
that vested during the six months ended March 31, 2009 with an aggregated
grant date fair value of $53,000. There were 616 MRDP shares that vested
during the six months ended March 31, 2008 with an aggregated grant date fair
value of $11,000. At March 31, 2009, there were 51,993 shares available for
future award 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 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 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.
The components of the provision (benefit) for federal income taxes for the six

(11) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
SFAS No. 157 defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is the exchange price that would be
received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157
identifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
22
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 March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

(a) 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.
(b) The loss represents other than temporary impairment charges on
held-to-maturity mortgaged backed securities.
(12) DIVIDEND / SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On April 30, 2009, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11
per common share, payable May 29, 2009, to shareholders of record as of the
close of business on May 15, 2009.

(13) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value under Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles ("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 such items effective
October 1, 2009. The Company does not believe that such adoption will have a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements, but will result in
additional disclosures related to the fair value of nonfinancial assets.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 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 other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities
in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and
measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity
securities. FAS 115-2 provides for the bifurcation of other-than-temporary
impairments 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 $749,000 in impairments not related to credit losses through
other comprehensive income rather than through earnings during the three
months ended March 31, 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 Orderly, ("FAS 157-4").
This FSP provides additional guidance for fair value measures under FAS 157 in
24
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. This FSP is effective for interim
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted
for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company did not elect early
adoption of this FSP. The adoption of FAS 107-1 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 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
six months ended March 31, 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
25
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 March 31, 2009, the
Company had total assets of $693.00 million and total shareholders' equity of
$88.34 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.
The Bank is a community-oriented bank which offers a variety of deposit and
loan products to its customers. The Bank operates 21 branches (including its
main office in Hoquiam) and a loan production office (which is in the process
of being converted to a full service branch) in the following market areas in
the state of Washington:
* Grays Harbor County
* Thurston County
* Pierce County
* King County
* Kitsap County
* Lewis County
26
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 March 31, 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 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.
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
27
temporary when the fair value of the security is below the recorded value
primarily due to changes in interest rates, 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 carrying value primarily due to current market conditions and not
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 market conditions could result
in additional impairment losses recognized within the investment portfolio.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008
The Company's total assets increased by $11.12 million, or 1.6%, to $693.00
million at March 31, 2009 from $681.88 million at September 30, 2008. The
increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash equivalents
resulting from the sale of $16.64 million of preferred stock to the U.S.
Treasury.
Net loans receivable decreased by $3.31 million, or 0.6%, to $554.37 million
at March 31, 2009 from $557.69 million at September 30, 2008 primarily due to
a decrease in construction and land development loan balances and commercial
business loan balances.
Total deposits increased by $7.33 million, or 1.5%, to $505.90 million at
March 31, 2009 from $498.57 million at September 30, 2008, primarily due to an
increase in certificate of deposit account balances and N.O.W. checking
account balances.
Shareholders' equity increased by $13.50 million, or 18.0%, to $88.34 million
at March 31, 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:
Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents increased by $14.02 million, or 32.7%, to
$56.89 million at March 31, 2009 from $42.87 million at September 30, 2008,
primarily as a result of an increase in interest bearing deposits in banks.
The Bank increased its short-term liquidity position primarily as a result of
the sale of $16.64 million of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury and a $7.33
million increase in deposits.
Investment Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities: Investment and
mortgage-backed securities decreased by $6.04 million, or 19.3%, to $25.29
million at March 31, 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 $2.16 million other than temporary impairment
("OTTI") charge recorded on private label mortgage-backed securities, and a
$749,000 decrease in market value adjusted through the other comprehensive
loss equity account. The securities on which the impairments 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 March 31, 2009, the Company's securities' portfolio was comprised of
mortgage-backed securities of $24.31 million (of which $10.70 million were
classified as held to maturity), mutual funds of $957,000 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."
28
Loans: Net loans receivable decreased by $3.31 million, or 0.6% to $554.37
million at March 31, 2009 from $557.69 million at September 30, 2008. The
decrease in the portfolio was primarily a result of a $19.55 million decrease
in construction loans (net of undisbursed portion of construction loans in
process), a $5.39 million decrease in commercial business loans, a $4.61
million decrease in consumer loans, a $3.46 million decrease in multi-family
loans, and a $4.00 million increase in the allowance for loan losses. These
decreases to net loans receivable were partially offset by an $18.56 million
increase in commercial real estate loans, an $8.22 million increase in one- to
four-family loans (including a $6.01 million increase in one- to four-family
loans held for sale), and a $6.69 million increase in land loans. The
decrease in construction loans was primarily reflected in a $12.11 million
decrease in custom and owner / builder construction loans, a $10.53 million
decrease in multi-family and condominium construction loans, a $6.50 million
decrease in speculative construction loans, and a $4.25 million decrease in
land development loans; which were partially offset by an $8.02 million
increase in commercial real estate construction loans.
Loan originations increased to $142.22 million for the six months ended March
31, 2009 compared to $124.47 million for the six months ended March 31, 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 $71.26 million for
the six months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $19.29 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2008.
For additional information, see Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."
Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment increased by $814,000, or
4.8%, to $17.70 million at March 31, 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 being constructed in Lewis County. The new
branch is scheduled to open in May 2009.
Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible: The value of goodwill remained
unchanged at $5.65 million at March 31, 2009 from September 30, 2008. The
amortized value of the core deposit intangible decreased to $863,000 at March
31, 2009 from $972,000 at September 30, 2008. The decrease is attributable to
scheduled amortization of the core deposit intangible.
Deposits: Deposits increased by $7.33 million, or 1.5%, to $505.90 million at
March 31, 2009 from $498.57 million at September 30, 2008. The increase was
primarily a result of a $10.18 million increase in certificate of deposit
account balances, a $4.63 million increase in N.O.W. checking account balances
and a $1.83 million increase in non-interest bearings account balances. These
increases were partially offset by a $7.44 million decrease in money market
account balances and a $1.87 million decrease in savings 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 $9.70 million, or 9.2%, to $95.69 million at March 31, 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 $13.50 million,
or 18.0%, to $88.34 million at March 31, 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 to the Treasury warrants to purchase up to $2.5 million in common
stock. The transaction is part of the Treasury's program to encourage
qualified
29
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 six months ended March 31, 2009 was a net loss
of $1.03 million, the payment of $1.66 million in cash dividends on common and
preferred stock and a $974,000 increase in the accumulated other comprehensive
loss equity category.
The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the six
months ended March 31, 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
March 31, 2009 and September 30, 2008, no loans were 90 days or more past due
and still accruing interest. Non-performing assets to total assets increased
to 3.32% at March 31, 2009 from 1.83% at September 30, 2008, as non-accrual
loans increased by $7.88 million to $19.87 million at March 31, 2009 from
$11.99 million at September 30, 2008, OREO and other repossessed assets
increased by $2.32 million to $2.83 million at March 31, 2009 from $511,000 at
September 30, 2008 and non-accrual investment securities increased by
$310,000.
Total non-accrual loans of $19.87 million at March 31, 2009 were comprised of
49 loans and 34 credit relationships. Included in these non-accrual loans
were:
* Four land development loans totaling $5.88 million (of which the
largest had a balance of $2.60 million)
* 18 individual lot / land loans totaling $3.90 million (of which the
largest had a balance of $1.00 million)
* 13 Single family speculative loans totaling $3.78 million (of which
the largest had a balance of $451,000)
* Six commercial real estate loans totaling $3.78 million (of which the
largest had a balance of $1.39 million)
* One multi-family loan for $1.39 million
* Three single family home loans totaling $595,000 (of which the largest
had a balance of $334,000)

* One single family construction loan for $123,000
The Company had net charge-offs totaling $2.37 million for the six months
ended March 31, 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 quarter, net charge-off
consisted of the following:
* $1.04 million on three land development loans
* $789,000 to reduce exposure to the speculative construction inventory
and land holdings of five contractors
* $250,000 on one commercial business loan
* $145,000 on loans secured by land
* $100,000 on home equity loans
* $40,000 on a single family home loan

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31,
2009 and 2008
The Company reported a net loss of $(1.39) million for the quarter ended March
31, 2009 compared to net income of $1.59 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2008. Diluted earnings per common share decreased to a loss of $(0.24)
for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from earnings of $0.24 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in net income and earnings per diluted
common share was primarily a result of a $4.48 million increase in the
provision for loan losses and a $993,000 OTTI charge on investment securities.
These items were partially offset by a $1.35 million increase in non-interest
income (excluding OTTI charges).
The Company reported a net loss of $(1.03) million for the six months ended
March 31, 2009 compared to net income of $3.20 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2008. Diluted earnings per common share decreased to a loss
of $(0.19) for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from earnings of $0.48 for
the six months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in net income and earnings
per diluted common share was primarily a result of a $4.59 million increase in
the provision for loan losses and a $2.16 million OTTI charge on investment
securities. These items were partially offset by a $1.93 million increase in
non-interest income (excluding OTTI charges).
A more detailed explanation of the income statement categories is presented
below.
Net Income: Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased by $2.98
million, or 187.9%, to a net loss of $(1.39) million from net income of $1.59
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Earnings available to common
shareholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, adjusted for the dividend
of $208,000 payable to the U.S. Treasury on preferred stock was a net loss of
$(1.60) million. Earnings per diluted common share decreased to a loss of
$(0.24) for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from earnings of $0.24 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2008. The $0.48 decrease in diluted earnings per
common share was primarily a result of a $4.48 million ($2.95 million net of
income tax - $0.45 per diluted common share) increase in the provision for
loan losses, a $993,000 ($655,000 net of income tax - $0.10 per diluted common
share) increase in OTTI charges, a $236,000 ($156,000 net of income tax -
$0.02 per diluted common share) increase in non-interest expense, a $254,000
($168,000 net of income tax - $0.02 per diluted common share) decrease in net
interest income, and a $208,000 ($0.03 per diluted common share) increase in
dividends payable to preferred shareholders. These decreases to earnings per
diluted common share were partially offset by $1.35 million ($937,000 net of
income tax - $0.14 per diluted common share) increase in non-interest income
(excluding OTTI charges).
Earnings for the six months ended March 31, 2009 decreased by $4.23 million,
or 132.2%, to a net loss of $(1.03) million from net income of $3.20 million
for the six months ended March 31, 2008. Earnings available to common
shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2009, adjusted for the
dividend of $227,000 payable to the U.S. Treasury on preferred stock was a net
loss of $(1.26) million. Earnings per diluted common share decreased to a
loss of $(0.19) for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from earnings of $0.48
for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The $0.67 decrease in diluted
earnings per common share was primarily a result of a $4.59 million ($3.03
million net of income tax - $0.46 per diluted common share) increase in the
provision for loan losses, a $2.16 million ($1.43 million net of income tax -
$0.21 per diluted common share) increase in OTTI charges, a $920,000 ($607,000
net of income tax - $0.09 per diluted common share) increase in non-interest
expense, a $710,000 ($469,000 net of income tax - $0.07 per diluted common
share) decrease in net interest income, and a $227,000 ($0.03 per diluted
common share) increase in dividends payable to preferred shareholders. These
decreases to earnings per diluted common share were partially offset by $1.93
million ($1.27 million net of income tax - $0.19 per diluted common share)
increase in non-interest income (excluding OTTI charges).
32
Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased by $254,000, or 3.8%, to
$6.42 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $6.67 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 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 $1.13 million, or 10.3%, to
$9.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $10.93 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 as the yield on interest earning assets decreased
to 6.20% from 7.27%. Total average interest earning assets increased by
$31.61 million to $632.48 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from
$600.87 million for quarter ended March 31, 2008. Total interest expense
decreased by $871,000, or 20.5%, to $3.38 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2009 from $4.26 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as the
average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 2.58% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2009 from 3.30% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
Total average interest bearing liabilities increased by $13.64 million to
$532.68 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $519.04 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The net interest margin decreased to 4.06%
for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from 4.44% for the quarter ended March
31, 2008. The margin compression was primarily attributable to a full
quarter's effect of interest rate decreases by the Federal Reserve in the
previous quarter, 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 quarter ended March 31, 2009.
Net interest income decreased by $710,000 or 5.2%, to $12.88 million for the
six months ended March 31, 2009 from $13.59 million for the six months ended
March 31, 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 $2.57 million, or 11.5%, to
$19.83 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $22.40 million for
the six months ended March 31, 2008 as the yield on interest earning assets
decreased to 6.35% from 7.45%. Total average interest earning assets
increased by $23.15 million to $624.90 million for the six months ended March
31, 2009 from $601.75 million for six months ended March 31, 2008. Total
interest expense decreased by $1.86 million, or 21.2%, to $6.95 million for
the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $8.81 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2008 as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities
decreased to 2.62% for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from 3.40% for the
six months ended March 31, 2008. Total average interest bearing liabilities
increased by $13.98 million to $531.78 million for the six months ended March
31, 2009 from $517.80 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. The
net interest margin decreased to 4.12% for the six months ended March 31, 2009
from 4.52% for the six months ended March 31, 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 14 basis points during
the six months ended March 31, 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 $4.48
million, or 639.4%, to $5.18 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from
$700,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The provision for loan losses
increased $4.59 million, or 241.6%, to $6.49 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2009 from $1.90 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008.
The increased provisions for the three and six months ended March 31, 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.
34
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 six months ended
March 31, 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 $12.05 million at March 31, 2009 (2.13% of loans
receivable and 61% 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 March 31, 2009 was $1.77
million. The allowance for loan losses was $6.70 million (1.21% of loans
receivable and 105% of non-performing loans) at March 31, 2008. The Company
had net charge-offs of $2.37 million during the six months ended March 31,
2009 and no charge-offs for the six months ended March 31, 2008.
Non-accrual and 90 day past due loans increased by $7.88 million to $19.87
million at March 31, 2009 from $11.99 million at September 30, 2008.
Non-accrual loans were comprised of 49 loans and 34 credit relationships.
Management's evaluation of these 49 loans determined that there was potential
principal impairment of $1.77 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 March 31, 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 judgment of
information available to them at the time of their examination. For
additional information, see Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."
Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income increased by $358,000, or
23.0%, to $1.91 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $1.55
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Excluding the $993,000 OTTI
charge recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2009, non-interest income
increased by $1.35 million, or 86.9% to $2.91 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009 from $1.55 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This
increase was primarily a result of a $720,000 increase in loan sale income
(gain on sale of loans and servicing income on loans sold), a $361,000
increase in service charges on deposit accounts and a $137,000 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 quarter ended March 31, 2009. The sale of
fixed rate one-to four-family mortgage loans totaled $60.7 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $11.9 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 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
due to a $134,000 non-recurring gain associated with transferring a portion of
the BOLI portfolio to a new insurance company.
35
Total non-interest income decreased by $234,000, or 7.7%, to $2.82 million for
the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $3.05 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2008. Excluding the $2.16 million OTTI charge recorded in the
six months ended March 31, 2009, non-interest income increased by $1.93
million, or 63.2% to $4.98 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009
from $3.05 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was
primarily a result of an $823,000 increase in loan sale income (gain on sale
of loans and servicing income on loans sold), an $815,000 increase in service
charges on deposit accounts and a $139,000 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 quarter ended March 31, 2009. The sale of fixed rate one-to four-family
mortgage loans totaled $71.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2009
compared to $19.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 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 due to a $134,000
non-recurring gain associated with transferring a portion of the BOLI
portfolio to a new insurance company.
Non-interest Expense: Total non-interest expense increased by $236,000, or
4.5%, to $5.44 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $5.21 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable
to a $195,000 increase in deposit related expenses and a $99,000 increase in
OREO related expenses. The increased deposit related expenses were primarily
attributable to expenses associated with several new deposit related programs
implemented and an increase in FDIC insurance expense.
Total non-interest expense increased by $920,000, or 9.1%, to $10.98 million
for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from $10.06 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to a $414,000
increase in deposit related expenses, a $245,000 increase in premises and
equipment expense and a $160,000 increase in OREO related expenses. The
increased deposit related expenses were primarily attributable to expenses
associated with several new deposit related programs implemented and an
increase in FDIC insurance expense. The increase reflected in premises and
equipment expense was primarily a result of an insurance settlement received
in December 2007 that reduced the Company's premises and equipment expense by
$172,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2008.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes: The provision (benefit) for income
taxes decreased by $1.63 million to a net benefit of $896,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2009 from an expense of $734,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 2008 primarily as a result of a net loss before taxes.. The Company's
effective tax (benefit) rate was (39.14%) for the quarter ended March 31, 2009
and 31.65% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes decreased by $2.22 million to a net
benefit of $739,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009 from an expense of
$1.48 million for the six months ended March 31, 2008 primarily as a result of
a net loss before taxes. The Company's effective tax (benefit) rate was
(41.75%) for the six months ended March 31, 2009 and 31.68% for the six months
ended March 31, 2008.
The change in the effective tax (benefit) rate is primarily due to the net
loss before taxes and the non-taxable BOLI earnings which decreases the
effective tax rate in periods with net income before taxes and increases the
effective tax benefit in periods with a net loss 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
36
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 six months ended March 31, 2009. 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 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 $14.03 million, or 32.7% to
$56.90 million at March 31, 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 March 31, 2009,
the Bank's regulatory liquidity ratio (net cash, and short-term and marketable
assets, as a percentage of net deposits and short-term liabilities) was
11.17%. The Bank maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB of
Seattle that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate
amount equal to 30% of total assets, limited by available collateral, under
which $95.00 million was outstanding and $85.82 million was available for
additional borrowings at March 31, 2009. The Bank also has a $10.00 million
overnight credit line with Pacific Coast Bankers' Bank ("PCBB"). At March 31,
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 March 31, 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 and land
development loans, land loans, consumer loans, and commercial business loans.
At March 31, 2009, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $49.82 million and
undisbursed loans in process totaling $37.54 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 March 31, 2009 totaled $205.98 million. Historically, the Bank has been
able to retain a significant amount of its non-brokered certificates of
deposit as they mature. At March 31, 2009, the Bank had $25.99 million in
brokered certificate of deposit accounts or 5.1% of total deposits, all of
which are scheduled to mature in less than one year. As these brokered
certificate of deposit accounts approach maturity, the Bank will evaluate its
liquidity
37
needs and the cost of other alternative funding sources before determining if
additional brokered deposits will be acquired to replace the maturing brokered
deposits.
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 March 31, 2009, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable
capital requirements.
The following table compares the Company's and the Bank's actual capital

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 March 31, 2009 the
Company's disclosure controls and
39
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, 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 market risk information 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 March 31, 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
40
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.
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 2.13% of
total loans, and 61% of non-performing loans at March 31, 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.
41
If other financial institutions holding deposits for government related
entities in Washington state fail, we may be assessed a pro-rata share of the
uninsured portion of the deposits by the State of Washington.
We participate in the Washington Public Deposit Protection Program by
accepting deposits from local governments, school districts and other
municipalities located in the state of Washington. Under the recovery
provisions of the 1969 Public Deposit Protection Act, when a participating
bank fails and has public entity deposits that are not insured by the FDIC,
the remaining banks that participate in the program are assessed a pro-rata
share of the uninsured deposits.

provided in the bylaws and not as a result of any disagreement with the
Company.
