Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)  Basis of Presentation:  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements for Timberland Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with instructions
for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a
complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash
flows in conformity with GAAP.  However, all adjustments which are in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.  All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011 ("2011 Form 10-K").
The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the three
months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

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

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

(d)  The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e)  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
December 31, 2011 presentation with no change to net income or total
shareholders' equity previously reported.


(2) REGULATORY MATTERS

In December 2009, the FDIC and the Washington State Department of Financial
Institutions, Division of Banks ("Division") determined that the Bank required
supervisory attention and, on December 29, 2009, entered into an agreement on
a Memorandum of Understanding with the Bank ("Bank MOU").  Under the Bank MOU,
the Bank must, among other things, maintain Tier 1 Capital of not less than
10.0% of the Bank's adjusted total assets and maintain capital ratios above
the "well capitalized" thresholds as defined under FDIC Rules and Regulations;
obtain the prior consent from the FDIC and the Division prior to the Bank
declaring a dividend to its holding company; and not engage in any
transactions that would materially change the Bank's balance sheet composition
including growth in total assets of five percent or more or significant
changes in funding sources without the prior non-objection of the FDIC.

In addition, on February 1, 2010, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
("FRB") determined that the Company required additional supervisory attention
and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Company ("Company
MOU").  Under the Company MOU, the Company must, among other things, obtain
prior written approval or non-objection from the FRB to declare or pay any
dividends, or make any other capital

                                      10



distributions; issue any trust preferred securities; or purchase or redeem any
of its stock. The FRB has denied the Company's requests to pay dividends on
its Series A Preferred Stock issued under the U.S. Treasury Department's
Capital Purchase Program ("CPP") for quarterly payments due for the last seven
quarters commencing with the payments due May 15, 2010.  For additional
information on the CPP, see Note 3 below entitled "U.S Treasury Department's
Capital Purchase Program."


(3) U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT'S CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM

On December 23, 2008, the Company received $16.64 million from the U.S.
Treasury Department ("Treasury") as a part of the Treasury's CPP.  The CPP was
established as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP").  The
Company sold 16,641 shares of senior preferred stock with a related warrant to
purchase 370,899 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $6.73 per
share at any time through December 23, 2018.  The preferred stock pays a 5.0%
dividend for the first five years, after which the rate increases to 9.0% if
the preferred shares are not redeemed by the Company.

Preferred stock 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 (or accrued) and any accretion
is deducted from net income for computing income available to common
shareholders and net income per share computations.

Under the Company MOU, the Company must, among other things, obtain prior
written approval or non-objection from the FRB to declare or pay any
dividends.  The FRB has denied the Company's requests to pay dividends on its
Series A Preferred Stock issued under the CPP for quarterly payments due for
the last seven quarters commencing with the payment due May 15, 2010.  There
can be no assurances that the FRB will approve such payments or dividends in
the future.   The Company may not declare or pay dividends on its common stock
or, with certain exceptions, repurchase common stock without first having paid
all cumulative preferred dividends that are due.  Since dividends on the
Series A Preferred Stock have not been paid for at least six quarters, the
Treasury has the right to appoint two members to the Company's Board of
Directors.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded
net OTTI charges through earnings on residential MBS of $60,000 and $136,000,
respectively. The Company provides for the bifurcation of OTTI into (i)
amounts related to credit losses which are recognized through earnings, and
(ii) amounts related to all other factors which are recognized as a component
of other comprehensive income (loss).

To determine the component of the gross OTTI related to credit losses, the
Company compared the amortized cost basis of each OTTI security to the present
value of its revised expected cash flows, discounted using its pre-impairment
yield.  The revised expected cash flow estimates for individual securities are
based primarily on an analysis of default rates, prepayment speeds and
third-party analytic reports.  Significant judgment by management is required
in this analysis that includes, but is not limited to, assumptions regarding
the collectability of principal and interest, net of related expenses, on the
underlying loans.  The following table presents a summary of the significant
inputs utilized to measure management's estimate of the credit loss component
on OTTI securities as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011:

(5) FHLB STOCK

The Company views its investment in the FHLB stock as a long-term investment.
Accordingly, when evaluating for impairment, the value is determined based on
the ultimate recovery of the par value rather than recognizing temporary
declines in value.  The determination of whether a decline affects the
ultimate recovery is influenced by criteria such as: 1) the significance of
the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount
and length of time a decline has persisted; 2) the impact of legislative and
regulatory changes on the FHLB; and 3) the liquidity position of the FHLB.  On
October 25, 2010, the FHLB announced that it had entered into a Consent
Agreement with the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA"), which requires the
FHLB to take certain specific actions related to its business and operations.
As of its latest regulatory filing, the FHLB reported that it had met all of
its regulatory capital requirements, but remained classified as
"undercapitalized" by the FHFA.  The FHLB will not pay a dividend or
repurchase capital stock while it is classified as undercapitalized.  While
the FHLB was classified as undercapitalized, the Company does not believe that
its investment in the FHLB is impaired as of December 31, 2011.  However, this
estimate could change in the near term if: 1) significant other-than-temporary
losses are incurred on the FHLB's MBS causing a significant decline in its
regulatory capital status; 2) the economic losses resulting from credit
deterioration on the FHLB's MBS increases significantly; or 3) capital
preservation strategies being utilized by the FHLB become ineffective.

Credit Quality Indicators
-------------------------
The Company uses credit risk grades which reflect the Company's assessment of
a loan's risk or loss potential.  The Company categorizes loans into risk
grade categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers
to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical
payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current
economic trends, among other factors such as the estimated fair value of the
collateral.  The Company uses the following definitions for credit risk
ratings as part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of its loan
portfolio:

Pass:  Pass loans are defined as those loans that meet acceptable quality
underwriting standards.

Watch:  Watch loans are defined as those loans that still exhibit marginal
acceptable quality, but have some concerns that justify greater attention.  If
these concerns are not corrected, a potential for further adverse
categorization exists.  These concerns could relate to a specific condition
peculiar to the borrower, its industry segment or the general economic
environment.

                                      18





Special Mention: Special mention loans are defined as those loans deemed by
management to have some potential weaknesses that deserve management's close
attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the
deterioration of the payment prospects of the loan.  Assets in this category
do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant a substandard
classification.

Substandard:  Substandard loans are defined as those loans that are
inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the
obligor, or of the collateral pledged.  Loans classified as substandard have a
well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt.
If the weakness or weaknesses are not corrected, there is the distinct
possibility that some loss will be sustained.

Loss:  Loans in this classification are considered uncollectible and of such
little value that continuance as bankable assets is not warranted.  This
classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or
salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing
off this loan even though partial recovery may be realized in the future.

The following table lists the loan credit risk grades utilized by the Company
that serve as credit quality indicators.  Each of the credit risk loan grades
include high and low factors associated with their classification that are
utilized to calculate the aggregate ranges of the allowance for loan losses at
December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

(1) Includes non-accrual loans past due 90 days or more and manual non-accrual loans.





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

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

Troubled debt restructured loans are loans for which the Company, for economic
or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial condition, has granted a
significant concession to the borrower that it would otherwise not consider.
The loan terms which have been modified or restructured due to a borrower's
financial difficulty, include but are not limited to: a reduction in the
stated interest rate; an extension of the maturity at an interest rate below
current market; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the
accrued interest; or re-aging, extensions, deferrals and renewals.  Troubled
debt restructured loans are considered impaired loans and are individually
evaluated for impairment.  Troubled debt restructured loans can be classified
as either accrual or non-accrual. The Company had $25.63 million in troubled
debt restructured loans included in impaired loans at December 31, 2011 and
had no commitments to lend additional funds on these loans.  At December 31,
2011, $7.33 million of the $25.63 million in troubled debt restructured loans
were on non-accrual status and included in non-performing loans.  The Company
had $25.54 million in troubled debt restructured loans included in impaired
loans at September 30, 2011 and had $144,000 in commitments to lend additional
funds on these loans. At September 30, 2011, $7.38 million of the $25.54
million in troubled debt restructured loans were on non-accrual status and
included in non-performing loans.

(7) NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, without considering any dilutive items.  Diluted net income
per common share is computed by dividing net income to common shareholders 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 the assumed
conversion of outstanding stock options and the outstanding warrant to
purchase common stock.  In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") guidance for stock compensation, shares owned by the Bank's
ESOP that have not been allocated are not considered to be outstanding for the
purpose of computing net income per common share.  At December 31, 2011 and
2010, there were 264,520 and 299,786 shares, respectively, that had not been
allocated under the Bank's ESOP.

purchase 153,376 and 194,864 shares of common stock, respectively, were
outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income per
common share because the options' exercise prices were greater than the
average market price of the common stock, and, therefore, their effect would
have been anti-dilutive.
(2) For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, a warrant to
purchase 370,899 shares of common stock was outstanding but not included in
the computation of diluted net income per common share because the warrant's
exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock,
and, therefore, its effect would have been anti-dilutive.

There was no aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31,
2011.

At December 31, 2011, there were 46,700 unvested options with an aggregate
grant date fair value of $69,000, all of which the Company assumes will vest.
There was no aggregate intrinsic value of unvested options at December 31,
2011.  There were 5,000 options with an aggregate grant date fair value of
$6,000 that vested during the three months ended December 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2010, there were 20,800 unvested options with an aggregate
grant date fair value of $27,000. There were 5,200 options with an aggregate
grant date fair value of $7,000 that vested during the three months ended
December 31, 2010.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair
value of stock-based awards with the weighted average assumptions noted in the
following table.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
rate of a similar term as the stock option at the particular grant date.  The
expected life is based on historical data, vesting terms and estimated
exercise dates.  The expected dividend yield is based on the most recent
quarterly dividend on an annualized basis in effect at the time the options
were granted.  The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of
the Company's stock price.  There were 33,500 options granted during the three
months ended December 31, 2011 with an aggregate grant date fair value of
$52,000.  There were no options granted during the three months ended December
31, 2010.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used in estimating the fair value
of option grants.  The weighted average assumptions used for options granted
during the three months ended December 31, 2011 were:


Expected Volatility                       44%
Expected term (in years)                   5
Expected dividend yield                  - -%
Risk free interest rate                 0.89%
Grant date fair value per share        $1.56


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

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

There were no MRDP shares granted to officers or directors during the three
months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

At December 31, 2011, there were a total of 15,161 unvested MRDP shares with
an aggregated grant date fair value of $155,000.  There were 7,231 MRDP shares
that vested during the three months ended December 31, 2011 with an aggregated
grant date fair value of $79,000.  There were 100 MRDP shares forfeited during
the three months ended December 31, 2011 with a grant date fair value of
$1,000.  At December 31, 2011, there were no shares available for future
awards under the MRDP.

At December 31, 2010, there were a total of 28,992 unvested MRDP shares with
an aggregate grant date fair value of $329,000.  There were 7,433 MRDP shares
that vested during the three months ended December 31, 2010 with and
aggregated grant date fair value of $81,000.

(9) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

GAAP requires disclosure of estimated fair values for financial instruments.
Such estimates are subjective in nature, and significant judgment is required
regarding the risk characteristics of various financial instruments at a
discrete point in time.  Therefore, such estimates could vary significantly if
assumptions regarding uncertain factors were to change.  In addition, as the
Company normally intends to hold the majority of its financial instruments
until maturity, it does not expect to realize many of the estimated amounts
disclosed.  The disclosures also do not include estimated fair value amounts
for certain items which are not defined as financial instruments but which may
have significant value.  The Company does not believe that it would be
practicable to estimate a representational fair value for these types of items
as of December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011.  Because GAAP excludes certain
items from fair value disclosure requirements, any aggregation of the fair
value amounts presented would not represent the underlying value of the
Company.  Major assumptions, methods and fair value estimates for the
Company's significant financial instruments are set forth below:

     Cash and Cash Equivalents
     -------------------------
     The estimated fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or
     re-price frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to
     have an estimated fair value equal to the recorded value.

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

     MBS and Other Investments
     -------------------------
     The estimated fair value of MBS and other investments are based upon the
     assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security.  Such
     assumptions include observable and unobservable inputs such as quoted
     market prices, dealer quotes, or discounted cash flows.

     FHLB Stock
     ----------
     FHLB stock is not publicly traded; however, the recorded value of the
     stock holdings approximates the estimated fair value, as the FHLB is
     required to pay par value upon re-acquiring this stock.

     Loans Receivable, Net
     ---------------------
     At December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, because of the illiquid
     market for loan sales, loans were priced using comparable market
     statistics.  The loan portfolio was segregated into various categories
     and

                                      29





     a weighted average valuation discount that approximated similar loan
     sales was applied to each category.

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

     Accrued Interest
     ----------------
     The recorded amount of accrued interest approximates the estimated fair
     value.

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

     FHLB Advances
     -------------
     The estimated fair value of FHLB advances is computed by discounting the
     future cash flows of the borrowings at a rate which approximates the
     current offering rate of the borrowings with a comparable remaining life.

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

     Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments
     -----------------------------
     Since the majority of the Company's off-balance-sheet instruments consist
     of variable-rate commitments, the Company has determined that they do not
     have a distinguishable estimated fair value.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows as of
December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

                                     December 31, 2011     September 30, 2011

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

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

     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 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 estimated fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2011, and the
total losses resulting from these estimated fair value adjustments for the
three months ended December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

-------------
(1) The loss represents charge offs on collateral dependent loans for
estimated fair value adjustments based on the estimated fair value of the
collateral.  A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current
information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect
all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The
specific reserve for collateral dependent impaired loans was based on the
estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.  The
estimated fair value of collateral was determined based primarily on
appraisals.  In some cases, adjustments were made to the appraised values due
to various factors including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included
in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral.
(2) The loss represents OTTI credit-related charges on held-to-maturity MBS.
(3) The Company's OREO and other repossessed assets are initially recorded at
estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.  This amount becomes the
property's new basis.  Estimated fair value was generally determined by
management based on a number of factors, including third-party appraisals of
estimated fair value in an orderly sale.  Estimated costs to sell were based
on standard market factors.  The valuation of OREO and other repossessed items
is subject to significant external and internal judgment.  Management
periodically reviews the recorded value to determine whether the property
continues to be recorded at the lower of its recorded book value or estimated
fair value, net of estimated costs to sell.
(4) The fair value of the MSRs was determined using a third-party model, which
incorporates the expected life of the loans, estimated cost to service the
loans, servicing fees received and other factors.  The estimated fair value is
calculated by stratifying the mortgage servicing rights based on the
predominant risk characteristics that include the underlying loan's interest
rate, cash flows of the loan, origination date and term.  The amount of
impairment recognized is the amount, if any, by which the amortized cost of
the rights exceed their estimated fair value.  Impairment, if deemed
temporary, is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that
estimated fair value is less than the recorded amount.


(10) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance on goodwill and other
intangibles regarding when to perform step two of the goodwill impairment test
for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This guidance
became effective for the Company on October 1, 2011.  The adoption of this
guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's condensed
consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding testing goodwill for
impairment.  The new guidance allows an entity the option to make a
qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to
determine whether it should calculate the fair value of the reporting unit.
The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests
performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early
adoption permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance
to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding Transfer and Servicing for
the Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.  The
guidance removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion
requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the
financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of
default by the transferee, and the collateral maintenance implementation
guidance related to that criterion.  Other criteria applicable to the
assessment of effective control are not changed by the amendments.  The
guidance is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or
after December 15, 2011.  The guidance should be applied prospectively to
transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after
the effective date.  Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not
expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its
condensed consolidated financial statements.

                                       32





In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance regarding the application of
existing fair value measurement guidance.  The provisions of the amended
guidance clarify the application of existing fair value measurement guidance
and revise certain measurement and disclosure requirements to achieve
convergence of GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.  The
provisions of this amended guidance are effective for the Company's first
reporting period beginning January 1, 2012, with early adoption not permitted.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this
guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on its condensed
consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on the presentation of
comprehensive income (loss).  The new guidance eliminates the current option
to present the components of other comprehensive income (loss) in the
statement of changes in equity and requires the presentation of net income
(loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) (and their respective components)
either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive
statements.  The amendments do not alter any current recognition or
measurement requirements with respect to the items of other comprehensive
income (loss).  The provisions of this guidance are effective for the
Company's first reporting period beginning on January 1, 2012, with early
adoption permitted.   The Company does not expect it to have a material impact
on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance that defers the effective date of
the requirement to present separate line items on the income statement for
reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive
income into net income.  The deferral is temporary until FASB reconsiders the
operational concerns and needs of financial statement users.  The FASB has not
yet announced a timetable for its reconsideration.  The Company does not
expect this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated
financial statements.

the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in our
allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses that may be impacted
by deterioration in the housing and commercial real estate markets which may
lead to increased losses and non-performing 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 loan loss 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, land and other properties and fluctuations in real
estate values in our market areas; secondary market conditions for loans and
our ability to sell loans in the secondary market; results of examinations of
us by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 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
require us, among other things, to increase our allowance for loan losses,
write-down assets, change our regulatory capital position or affect our
ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits or impose additional
requirements or restrictions, which could adversely affect our liquidity and
earnings; our compliance with regulatory enforcement actions, including
regulatory memoranda of understandings ("MOUs") to which we are subject;
legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business including
changes in regulatory

the TARP Capital Purchase Program; the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the implementation of related rules and
regulations; our ability to attract and retain deposits; further increases in
premiums for deposit insurance; our ability to control operating costs and
expenses; the use of estimates in determining the fair values 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 consolidated 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 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;  increased competitive pressures among financial services
companies; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; the
availability of resources to address changes in laws, rules, or regulations or
to respond to regulatory actions; our ability to pay dividends on our common
and preferred stock; adverse changes in the securities markets; inability of
key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; changes in
accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial
institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board,
including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and
details of the implementation of new accounting methods; the economic impact
of war or any terrorist activities; other economic, competitive, governmental,
regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations; pricing,
products and services; and other risks detailed in our reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K

Overview

Timberland Bancorp, Inc., a Washington corporation, is the holding company for
Timberland Bank.  The Bank opened for business in 1915 and serves consumers
and businesses across Grays Harbor, Thurston, Pierce, King, Kitsap and Lewis
counties, Washington with a full range of lending and deposit services through
its 22 branches (including its main office in Hoquiam).  At December 31, 2011,
the Company had total assets of $735.85 million and total shareholders' equity
of $87.33 million.  The Company's business activities generally are limited to
passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in the Bank.
Accordingly, the information set forth in this report relates primarily to the
Bank's operations.

The profitability of the Company's operations depends primarily on its net
interest income after provision for loan losses.  Net interest income is the
difference between interest income, which is the income that the Company earns
on interest-earning assets, comprised of primarily loans and investments, and
interest expense, the amount the Company pays on its interest-bearing
liabilities, which are primarily deposits and borrowings.  Net interest income
is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets,
interest earned

                                      34





on those assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing liabilities and
interest paid on those interest bearing liabilities. Management strives to
match the re-pricing characteristics of the interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income from changes in
market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield curve.

The provision for loan losses is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio
and management's assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio as
well as prevailing economic and market conditions.  The provision for loan
losses reflects the amount that the Company believes is adequate to cover
potential credit losses in its loan portfolio.

Net income is also affected by non-interest income and non-interest expenses.
For the three month period ended December 31, 2011, non-interest income
consisted primarily of service charges and fees on deposit accounts, gain on
sale of loans, ATM transaction fees, an increase in the cash surrender value
of life insurance, other operating income and a valuation recovery on MSRs.
Non-interest income is reduced by net OTTI losses on MBS and other
investments.  Non-interest expenses consisted primarily of salaries and
employee benefits, premises and equipment, advertising, ATM expenses, OREO
expenses, postage and courier expenses, professional fees, deposit insurance
premiums, other insurance premiums, state and local taxes, loan administration
expenses, deposit operation expenses, data processing expenses and
telecommunication expenses.  Non-interest income and non-interest expenses are
affected by the growth of our operations and growth in the number of loan and
deposit accounts.

Results of operations may be affected significantly by general and local
economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates,
governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

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


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 Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed to be
sufficient to provide for estimated loan losses based on evaluating known and
inherent risks in the loan portfolio.  The allowance is provided 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, delinquency levels, actual loan loss
experience, current economic conditions, and detailed analysis of individual
loans for which the full collectability may not be assured.  The detailed
analysis includes methods to estimate the fair value of loan collateral and
the existence of potential alternative sources of repayment.  The allowance
consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to
loans that are deemed impaired.  For such loans that are classified as
impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or
collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower
than the recorded value of that loan.  The general component covers loans that
are not evaluated individually for impairment and is based on historical loss
experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  The appropriateness of the
allowance for loan losses is estimated


                                      35





based upon these factors and trends identified by management at the time
consolidated financial statements are prepared.

In accordance with the FASB guidance for receivables, a loan is considered
impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all
amounts (principal and interest) due according to the contractual terms of the
loan agreement.  Troubled debt restructured loans are considered impaired
loans.  Smaller balance homogenous loans, such as residential mortgage loans
and consumer loans, may be collectively evaluated for impairment. When a loan
has been identified as being impaired, the amount of the impairment is
measured by using discounted cash flows, except when, as an alternative, the
current estimated fair value of the collateral, reduced by estimated costs to
sell, is used. The valuation of real estate collateral is subjective in nature
and may be adjusted in future periods because of changes in economic
conditions.  Management considers third-party appraisals, as well as
independent fair market value assessments from realtors or persons involved in
selling real estate in determining the estimated fair value of particular
properties.  In addition, as certain of these third-party appraisals and
independent fair market value assessments are only updated periodically,
changes in the values of specific properties may have occurred subsequent to
the most recent appraisals.  Accordingly, the amounts of any such potential
changes and any related adjustments are generally recorded at the time such
information is received. When the measurement of the impaired loan is less
than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest and net
deferred loan origination fees or costs), impairment is recognized by creating
or adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan losses and uncollected
accrued interest is reversed against interest income. If ultimate collection
of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to
reduce the principal balance.

A provision for loan losses is charged against operations and is added to the
allowance for loan losses based on quarterly comprehensive analyses of the
loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is allocated to certain loan
categories based on the relative risk characteristics, asset classifications
and actual loss experience of the loan portfolio.  While management has
allocated the allowance for loan losses to various loan portfolio segments,
the allowance is general in nature and is available for the loan portfolio in
its entirety.

The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market and other
factors beyond the Company's control. These factors may result in losses or
recoveries differing significantly from those provided in the consolidated
financial statements.  The Company has experienced a significant decline in
valuations for some real estate collateral since October 2008.  If real estate
values continue to decline and as updated appraisals are received on
collateral for impaired loans, the Company may need to increase the allowance
for loan losses appropriately. In addition, bank regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's
allowance for loan losses, and may require the Company to make additions to
the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at
the time of their examinations.

MSRs (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 evaluated at least annually by a third party firm
for impairment by comparing actual cash flows and estimated cash flows from
the servicing assets to those estimated at the time the 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

                                      36





appropriate if they are applied at different times.

For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights must be stratified by one or
more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans.  The Company
stratifies its capitalized MSRs based on product type, interest rate and term
of the underlying loans.  The amount of impairment recognized is the amount,
if any, by which the amortized cost of the rights for each stratum exceed
their fair value.  Impairment, if deemed temporary, is recognized through a
valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the recorded
amount.

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


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

One of the circumstances evaluated when determining if an impairment test of
goodwill is needed more frequently than annually is the extent and duration
that the Company's market capitalization (total common shares outstanding
multiplied by current stock price) is less than the total equity applicable to
common shareholders.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company
engaged a third party firm to perform the annual test for goodwill impairment.
The test concluded that recorded goodwill was not impaired.  As of December
31, 2011, there have been no events or changes in circumstances that would
indicate a potential impairment.  No assurance can be given, however, that the
Company will not record an impairment loss on goodwill in the future.

OREO (Other Real Estate Owned) and Other Repossessed Assets
OREO and other repossessed assets consist of properties or assets acquired
through or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, and are recorded initially at the
estimated fair value of the properties less estimated costs of disposal.
Costs relating to the development and improvement of the properties or assets
are capitalized while costs relating to holding the properties or assets are
expensed.  The valuation of real estate is subjective in nature and may be
adjusted in future periods because of changes in economic conditions.
Management periodically obtains updated valuations from third party
appraisals, as well as independent fair market value

                                      37





assessments from realtors or persons involved in the selling of real estate in
determining the estimated fair value of particular properties.  A charge to
earnings is recorded if the recorded value of a property exceeds its estimated
net realizable value.


Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011

The Company's total assets decreased by $2.37 million, or 0.3%, to $735.85
million at December 31, 2011 from $738.22 million at September 30, 2011.  The
decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in OREO and other repossessed
assets.

Net loans receivable increased by $1.02 million, or 0.2%, to $529.04 million
at December 31, 2011 from $528.02 million at September 30, 2011.  The increase
was primarily due to an increase in commercial business loan balances,
commercial real estate construction loan balances and custom and owner/builder
construction loan balances.  These increases were partially offset by
decreases in one-to four-family loan balances, land loan balances and consumer
loan balances.

Total deposits decreased by $3.50 million, or 0.6%, to $589.18 million at
December 31, 2011 from $592.68 million at September 30, 2011, primarily as a
result of decreases in certificates of deposit account balances and
non-interest bearing account balances.  These decreases were partially offset
by increases in money market account balances, savings account balances and
N.O.W. checking account balances.

Shareholders' equity increased by $1.13 million, or 1.3%, to $87.33 million at
December 31, 2011 from $86.21 million at September 30, 2011.The increase in
shareholders' equity was primarily a result of net income for the quarter.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents and CDs Held for Investment: Cash and cash
equivalents and CDs held for investment increased by $633,000, or 0.5%, to
$131.36 million at December 31, 2011 from $130.72 million at September 30,
2011.  The increase was primarily due to a $1.15 million increase in CDs held
for investment, which was partially offset by a $518,000 decrease in cash and
cash equivalents.

MBS (Mortgage-backed Securities) and Other Investments:  Mortgage-backed
securities and other investments decreased by $637,000, or 5.9%, to $10.23
million at December 31, 2011 from $10.86 million at September 30, 2011.  The
decrease was primarily a result of scheduled amortization and prepayments on
MBS and OTTI charges recorded on private label residential MBS. The securities
on which the OTTI charges were recognized were acquired from the in-kind
redemption of the Company's investment in the AMF family of mutual funds in
June 2008.  For additional information on MBS and other investments, see Note
4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in
"Item 1, Financial Statements."

Loans:  Net loans receivable increased by $1.02 million, or 0.2%, to $529.04
million at December 31, 2011 from $528.02 million at September 30, 2011.  The
increase in the portfolio was primarily a result of a $4.92 million increase
in commercial business loan balances, a $3.83 million increase in commercial
real estate construction loan balances and a $2.59 million increase in custom
and owner/builder construction loan balances.  These increases to net loans
receivable were partially offset by a $4.18 million decrease in one-to
four-family loan balances and a $3.04 million decrease in land loan balances.

Loan originations increased to $51.63 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2011 from $49.15 million for the three months ended December 31,
2010.  The Company continued to sell longer-term fixed rate loans for asset
liability management purposes and to generate non-interest income.  The
Company sold fixed

                                      38






rate one- to four-family mortgage loans totaling $22.92 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $26.86 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2010.

For additional information, see Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

Premises and Equipment:  Premises and equipment decreased by $36,000, or 0.2%,
to $17.35 million at December 31, 2011 from $17.39 million at September 30,
2011.  The decrease was primarily a result of depreciation.

OREO (Other Real Estate Owned): OREO and other repossessed assets decreased by
$3.10 million, or 28.6%, to $7.71 million at December 31, 2011 from $10.81
million at September 30, 2011, primarily due to the sale of OREO properties.
During the three months ended December 31, 2011, 12 OREO properties and other
repossessed assets totaling $3.70 million were sold for a net loss of
$271,000.  At December 31, 2011, OREO consisted of 52 individual properties
and three other repossessed assets.  The properties consisted of 37 land
parcels totaling $3.50 million, ten single family homes totaling $1.60
million, three commercial real estate properties totaling $1.23 million, a
condominium project of $842,000, and a land development project of $469,000.
The three other repossessed assets totaled $73,000.

Goodwill and CDI:  The recorded value of goodwill of $5.65 million at December
31, 2011 remained unchanged from September 30, 2011.  The amortized value of
the CDI decreased $37,000, or 9.3%, to $360,000 at December 31, 2011 from
$397,000 at September 30, 2011.  The decrease was attributable to scheduled
amortization of the CDI.

Prepaid FDIC Insurance Assessment:  The prepaid FDIC insurance assessment
decreased $230,000, or 10.9%, to $1.87 million at December 31, 2011 from $2.10
million at September 30, 2011 as a portion of the prepaid amount was expensed.

Deposits: Deposits decreased by $3.50 million, or 0.6%, to $589.18 million at
December 31, 2011 from $592.68 million at September 30, 2011.  The decrease
was primarily a result of an $8.62 million decrease in certificates of deposit
account balances and a $3.32 million decrease in non-interest bearing deposit
account balances.  These decreases were partially offset by a $5.24 million
increase in money market account balances, a $1.70 million increase in savings
account balances and a $1.50 million increase in N.O.W. checking account
balances.  See the "Deposit Breakdown" schedule below for additional
information.

FHLB Advances:  FHLB advances were $55.00 million at December 31, 2011 and
September 30, 2011.  For additional information, see the "Borrowing Maturity
Schedule" set forth below.

Shareholders' Equity:  Total shareholders' equity increased by $1.13 million,
or 1.3%, to $87.33 million at December 31, 2011 from $86.21 million at
September 30, 2011.  The increase was primarily due to net income of $1.02
million for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

The FRB has denied the Company's requests to pay cash dividends on its
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock held by the Treasury for the quarterly
dividend payments due for the last seven quarters commencing with the payment
due May 15, 2010.  Cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are
cumulative and accrue and compound on each subsequent date.  Accordingly,
during the deferral period, the Company will continue to accrue, and reflect
in the consolidated financial statements, the deferred dividends on the
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.  As a result of not receiving permission
from the FRB to pay these dividends, the Company had not made seven quarterly
dividend payments as of December 31, 2011.  At December 31, 2011, the Company
had accrued preferred stock dividends in arrears of $1.46 million.

                                      39





Non-performing Assets:  Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans,
loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, non-accrual investment
securities, and OREO and other repossessed assets.  Non-performing assets
increased by $3.89 million, or 10.5%, to $40.84 million at December 31, 2011
from $36.95 million at September 30, 2011.  The increase in non-performing
assets was primarily a result of a $6.21 million increase in non-accrual loans
and a $923,000 increase in loans past due 90 days and still accruing.  These
increases to non-performing assets were partially offset by a $3.10 million
decrease in OREO and other repossessed assets and a $146,000 decrease in
non-performing investment securities.  The increase in loans past due 90 days
or more and still accruing was primarily due to a delay in obtaining final
plat approval for a pre-sold residential building plat in King County,
Washington.  The Company expects the sale to be consummated by February 28,
2012, which will reduce the loans in the past 90 days and still accruing
category by $2.32 million.

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

A portion of these advances have a putable feature and may be called by the
FHLB earlier than the above schedule indicates.  As of December 31, 2011, the
Company had additional available borrowing capacity of $117.79 million with
the FHLB.

The Company also maintains a short-term borrowing line with the FRB with total
credit based on eligible collateral.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company had
a borrowing line capacity with the FRB of $50.58 million of which none was
outstanding.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011
and 2010

The Company reported net income of $1.28 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2011 compared to net income of $1.36 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2010.  Net income to common shareholders after adjusting
for the preferred stock dividend and the preferred stock discount accretion
was $1.02 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to net
income of $1.10 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  The slight
decrease in earnings for the quarter was primarily a result of decreased
non-interest income and decreased net interest income, which was partially
offset by a decreased provision for loan losses and decreased non-interest
expense.  Net income per diluted common share was $0.15 for the quarter ended
December 31, 2011 compared to net income per diluted common share of $0.16 for
the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

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

Net Income: The Company reported net income of $1.28 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2011 compared to net income of $1.36 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 2010.  Net income to common shareholders after
adjusting for preferred stock dividends of $208,000 and preferred stock
discount accretion of $59,000 was $1.02 million, or $0.15 per diluted common
share for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1.10 million, or
$0.16 per diluted common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

The $76,000 decrease in net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was
primarily the result of a $507,000 decrease in non-interest income and a
$30,000 decrease in net interest income.  These decreases to net income were
partially offset by a $250,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a
$155,000 decrease in non-interest expenses and a $56,000 decrease in the
provision for federal and state income taxes.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased by $30,000, or 0.5%, to
$6.30 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $6.33 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  The slight decrease in net interest
income was primarily attributable to a decrease in the net interest margin,
which was partially offset by an increase in the level of total
interest-bearing assets.

Total interest and dividend income decreased by $779,000 or 8.8%, to $8.03
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $8.81 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 2010 as the yield on interest bearing


                                      41





assets decreased to 4.76% from 5.31% and average loans receivable declined
$1.13 million as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in the
weighted average yield on interest bearing assets was primarily a result of
decreased market rates for loans and an increase in the amount of lower
yielding cash equivalents and other liquid assets. Total interest expense
decreased by $749,000, or 30.2%, to $1.73 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2011 from $2.48 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010
as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 1.18%
for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from 1.70% for the quarter ended
December 31, 2010.  The decrease in funding costs was primarily a result of a
decrease in overall market rates and a change in the composition of the
deposit base as the percentage of certificates of deposit account balances
decreased. The net interest margin decreased to 3.73% for the quarter ended
December 31, 2011 from 3.82% for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

(1) Excludes interest on loans 90 days or more past due.  Includes loans
originated for sale.


Provision for Loan Losses:  The provision for loan losses decreased $250,000,
or 27.8%, to $650,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $900,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease in the provision for
loan losses was primarily due to $524,000 in allowance for loan loss
recoveries for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  Also contributing to the
reduction in the provision for loan losses was a change in the composition of
the loan portfolio as the level of higher risk loan categories (construction
and land development loans and land loans) decreased at December 31, 2011
relative to December 31, 2010.   Net charge-offs for the quarter ended
December 31, 2011 were $624,000 compared to $1.60 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2011 and $415,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

The Company has established a comprehensive methodology for determining the
provision for loan losses.  On a quarterly basis the Company 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

                                      44




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.  Based on its
comprehensive analysis, management believes the allowance for loan losses of
$11.97 million at December 31, 2011 (2.21% of loans receivable and loans held
for sale and 39.3% of non-performing loans) was 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 principal impairment amount determined at December 31, 2011 was
$2.92 million.  The allowance for loan losses was $11.75 million (2.19% of
loans receivable and loans held for sale and 44.4% of non-performing loans) at
December 31, 2010.

Non-accrual and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing increased
$7.14 million to $30.48 million at December 31, 2011 from $23.34 million at
September 30, 2011.  For additional information, see the section entitled
"Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011
- Non-performing Assets" included herein.

While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its
determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no
assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in
the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the
amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be
required will not adversely impact the Company's consolidated financial
condition and results of operations.  In addition, the determination of the
amount of the Bank's allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank
regulators as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the
establishment of additional reserves based upon their analysis of information
available to them at the time of their examination.  In addition, because
future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with
certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan
losses is adequate or that substantial increases will not be necessary should
the quality of any loans deteriorate.  Any material increase in the allowance
for loan losses would adversely affect the Company's financial condition and
results of operations.  For additional information, see Note 6 of the Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial
Statements."

Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income decreased $507,000, or 17.2%,
to $2.44 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $2.95 million
for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease was primarily a result
of a $550,000 change in the valuation recovery on MSRs and a $141,000 decrease
in gain on sale of loans.  These decreases to non-interest income were
partially offset by a $106,000 increase in ATM transaction fees and a $76,000
reduction in net OTTI on MBS and other investments.

The valuation recovery on MSRs is based on a third party valuation of the MSR
asset. The Company recorded a valuation recovery on MSRs of $84,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to a recovery of $634,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2010.  At December 31, 2011, the MSR asset had a
remaining valuation allowance of $400,000 that is available for future
recovery.  The decrease in gain on sale of loans was primarily a result of a
decreased volume of fixed rate one-to four family loans sold during the
quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Non-interest Expense:  Total non-interest expense decreased by $155,000, or
2.4%, to $6.22 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from $6.38
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease was primarily
the result of a $198,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense, a
$115,000 decrease in FDIC insurance expense and a $98,000 decrease in other
insurance expense.  The decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense was
primarily a result of increased loan origination fees that offset salary
expense and a one-time benefit of $99,000 from changing the Company's employee
medical insurance provider.  These decreases to non-interest expense were
partially offset by increases to deposit operations expense and OREO and other
repossessed assets expense.

                                      45





Provision for Federal and State Income Taxes:  The provision for federal and
state income taxes decreased $56,000, or 8.7%, to $591,000 for the quarter
ended December 31, 2011 from $647,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010,
primarily due to lower income before taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate
was 31.54% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and 32.25% for the quarter
ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity
---------
The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from
principal and interest payments on loans and MBS, proceeds from the sale of
loans, proceeds from maturing securities and maturing CDs held for investment,
FHLB advances, and other borrowings.  While maturities and the scheduled
amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.

An analysis of liquidity should include a review of the Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 2011.  The
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows includes operating, investing
and financing categories.  Operating activities include net income, which is
adjusted for non-cash items, and increases or decreases in cash due to changes
in certain assets and liabilities.  Investing activities consist primarily of
proceeds from maturities and sales of securities, purchases of securities, the
net change in loans and proceeds from the sale of OREO and other repossessed
assets.  Financing activities present the cash flows associated with the
Company's deposit accounts, other borrowings and stock related transactions.

The Company's total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $518,000, or 0.5%
to $111.55 million at December 31, 2011 from $112.07 million at September 30,
2011.

The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the
availability of sufficient funds for loan originations and deposit
withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments and to take advantage of
investment opportunities.  The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and
short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs.  At December 31,
2011, 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 22.24%.  The Bank maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB
that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate amount
equal to 30% of total assets, limited by available collateral, under which
$55.00 million was outstanding and $117.79 million was available for
additional borrowings at December 31, 2011.  The Bank also maintains a
short-term borrowing line with the FRB with total credit based on eligible
collateral.  At December 31, 2011, the Bank had $50.58 million available for
borrowings with the FRB and there was no outstanding balance on this borrowing
line.

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 and the
FRB.

The Bank's primary investing activity is the origination of one- to
four-family mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans, construction loans,
consumer loans, and commercial business loans.  At December 31, 2011, the Bank
had loan commitments totaling $33.13 million and undisbursed construction
loans in process totaling $17.07 million.  The Bank anticipates that it will
have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments.  CDs that
are scheduled to mature in less than one year from December 31, 2011 totaled
$149.46 million.  Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant
amount of its non-brokered CDs as they mature.  At December 31, 2011, the Bank
had no 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 4.0%, (ii) a ratio of Tier 1 capital to
risk weighted assets of at least 4.0% and (iii) a ratio of total capital to
risk weighted assets of at least 8.0%.  The Bank is currently required to
maintain a "well capitalized" status and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at
least 10.0% under terms of the Bank MOU.

At December 31, 2011, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital
requirements.

The following table compares the Company's and the Bank's actual capital
amounts at December 31, 2011 to its minimum regulatory capital requirements at
that date (dollars in thousands):

"well capitalized" thresholds under the terms of the Bank MOU.

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, 2011.


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 December 31, 2011 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 to
       allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (ii)
       recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
       specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

  (b)  Changes in Internal Controls:  There have been no changes in our
       internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of
       the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31,
       2011, that have materially affected, or are 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 control 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.
