("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, 2006 ("2006 Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. (b) Principles of Consolidation: The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Timberland Bank ("Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Timberland Service Corp. All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) Operating Segments: Internal financial information is recorded for individual Bank branch offices, escrow services and the sale of non-deposit investment products. For financial statement purposes, the branch offices are aggregated into one reportable operating segment and the escrow division and non-deposit investment product division are not considered material. Accordingly, all operations of the Company are aggregated into 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, 2007 presentation with no change to net income or shareholders' equity previously reported. (2) EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company's common stock during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from assumed conversion of outstanding stock options and awarded but not released MRDP shares. In accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans, 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, 2007 and 2006, there were 220,415 and 255,682 ESOP shares, respectively, that had not been allocated. 9 Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, 2007 2006 2007 2006 ------------------------ ---------------------- (In thousands, except share and per share data) Basic EPS computation Numerator - net income $ 1,916,000 $ 1,946,000 $3,870,000 $3,952,000 Denominator - weighted average common shares outstanding 3,433,332 3,511,880 3,468,995 3,508,163 ----------- ----------- ---------- ---------- Basic EPS $ 0.56 $ 0.55 $ 1.12 $1.13 Diluted EPS computation Numerator - net income $ 1,916,000 $ 1,946,000 $3,870,000 $3,952,000 Denominator - weighted average common shares outstanding 3,433,332 3,511,880 3,468,995 3,508,163 Effect of dilutive stock options 107,313 128,732 112,967 124,871 Effect of dilutive MRDP shares 1,065 - - 894 - - ----------- ----------- ---------- ---------- Weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents 3,541,710 3,640,612 3,582,856 3,633,034 ----------- ----------- ---------- ---------- Diluted EPS $ 0.54 $ 0.53 $ 1.08 $ 1.09 (3) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) which requires measurement of the compensation cost for all stock-based awards based on the grant-date fair value and recognition of compensation cost over the service period of stock-based awards. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Company's valuation methodology previously utilized for options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method, which provides for no restatement of prior periods and no cumulative adjustment to equity accounts. It also provides for expense recognition, for both new and existing stock-based awards. (4) STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS Stock Option Plans - ------------------ Under the Company's stock option plans (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 811,250 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. The options vest over a ten-year period, which may be accelerated if the Company meets certain performance criteria. Generally, options vest in annual installments 10% on each of the ten anniversaries from the date of the grant and if the Company meets three of four established performance criteria the vesting is accelerated to 20% for that year. These four performance criteria are: (i) generating a return on assets which exceeds that of the median of all thrifts in the 12th FHLB District having assets within $250 million of the Company; (ii) generating an efficiency ratio which is less than that of the median of all thrifts in the 12th FHLB District having assets within $250 million of the Company; (iii) generating a net interest margin which exceeds the median of all thrifts in the 12th FHLB District having assets within $250 million of the Company; and (iv) increasing the Company's earnings per share over the prior fiscal year. The Company performs the accelerated vesting analysis in February of each year based on the results of the most recently completed fiscal year. At March 31, 2007, options for 139,708 shares are available for future grant under these plans. 10 Following is activity under the plans: Six Months Ended March 31, 2007 Total Options Outstanding ------------------------- Weighted Weighted Average Average Grant Date Exercise Fair Shares Price Value ------- ----- ----- Options outstanding, beginning of period 262,072 $14.51 $3.70 Exercised (42,479) 13.76 3.58 Forfeited (500) 15.21 3.97 Granted -- -- -- ------- Options outstanding, end of period 219,093 $14.65 $3.72 Options exercisable, end of period 204,257 $14.45 $3.68 Six Months Ended March 31, 2006 Total Options Outstanding ------------------------- Weighted Weighted Average Average Grant Date Exercise Fair Shares Price Value ------- ----- ----- Options outstanding, beginning of period 362,411 $13.86 $3.58 Exercised (22,600) 12.16 3.29 Granted -- -- -- ------- Options outstanding, end of period 339,811 $13.98 $3.60 Options exercisable, end of period 308,639 $13.69 $3.55 The aggregate intrinsic value of all options outstanding at March 31, 2007 was $4.51 million.

The objective of the MRDP is to retain and attract personnel of experience and ability in key positions by providing them with a proprietary interest in the Company. The MRDP allows for the issuance to participants of up to 264,500 shares of the Company's common stock. 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, 2007 the Company awarded 1,540 MRDP shares to directors. These shares had a weighted average grant date fair value of $36.48 per share. There were no MRDP shares granted during the six months ended March 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007 there were a total of 7,540 unvested MRDP shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $33.26. There were no MRDP shares that vested during the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. At March 31, 2007, there were 52,033 shares available for future award under the MRDP.

On April 25, 2006, the Company also announced a two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The shares will be distributed on June 5, 2007 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 22, 2007. Shareholders will receive one additional share of common stock for every share currently owned as of the record date. The Company has approximately 3,649,000 shares outstanding, and will have approximately 7,298,000 shares outstanding after the stock split. The Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2007 do not reflect this stock split. (6) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS" or "Statement") No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, 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 financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is assessing the impact of adoption of SFAS 157 on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108"), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, providing guidance on quantifying financial statement misstatement and implementation (e.g., restatement or cumulative effect to assets, liabilities and retained earnings) when first applying this guidance. SAB 108 is effective for the Company for all financial statements issued after November 15, 2006 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("FIN 48"). The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The new interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007 and is currently evaluating FIN 48 to determine the effect the guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets. SFAS No. 156 amends Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to require all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS No. 156 also permits servicers to subsequently measure each separate class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value rather than at the lower of cost or market. For those companies that elect to measure their servicing assets and liabilities at fair value, SFAS No. 156 requires the difference between the recorded value and fair value at the date of adoption to be recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the election is made. The Company adopted SFAS No. 156 on October 1, 2006 and will continue to measure servicing assets at the lower of cost or market. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by 14 measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this Statement 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, 2007. This analysis as well as other sections of this report contains certain "forward-looking statements." The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the protection of such safe harbor with forward looking statements. These forward looking statements may describe future plans or strategies and include the Company's expectations of future financial results. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The Company's ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The Company's actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward looking statements as a result of a wide variety or range of factors including, but not limited to: interest rate fluctuations; economic conditions in the Company's primary market areas; deposit flows; demand for residential, commercial real estate, consumer, and other types of loans; real estate values; success of new products and services; technological factors affecting operations; and other risks detailed in the Company's reports filed with the SEC, including its 2006 Form 10-K. Accordingly, these factors should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company undertakes no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements. Overview Timberland Bancorp, Inc., a Washington corporation, was organized on September 8, 1997 for the purpose of becoming the holding company for Timberland Savings Bank, SSB upon the Bank's conversion from a Washington-chartered mutual savings bank to a Washington-chartered stock savings bank ("Conversion"). The Conversion was completed on January 12, 1998 through the sale and issuance of 6,612,500 shares of common stock by the Company. At March 31, 2007, the Company had total assets of $617.80 million and total shareholders' equity of $77.81 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 ("FHLB") 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 in the following market areas: 15 * Grays Harbor County * Thurston County * Pierce County * King County * Kitsap County * Lewis County Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The Company has identified two accounting policies that as a result of judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 collectibility 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. 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 MSR portfolio. The Company's methodology for estimating the fair value of MSRs is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. For example, the determination of fair value uses anticipated prepayment speeds. Actual prepayment experience may differ and any difference may have a material effect 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. Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2007 and September 30, 2006 The Company's total assets increased by $40.71 million, or 7.1%, to $617.80 million at March 31, 2007 from $577.09 million at September 30, 2006, primarily attributable to a $55.24 million, or 13.0%, increase in net loans receivable. This increase was partially offset by a $14.19 million decrease in investment and mortgage-backed securities. Total deposits increased by $13.06 million to $444.12 million at March 31, 2007 from $431.06 million at September 30, 2006 primarily attributable to an increase in certificate of deposit accounts. Shareholders' equity decreased by $1.56 million to $77.81 million at March 31, 2007 from $79.37 million at September 30, 2006. A more detailed explanation of the changes in significant balance sheet categories follows: 16 Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents decreased to $21.92 million at March 31, 2007 from $22.79 million at September 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily a result of non-interest bearing accounts and interest bearing deposits in banks decreasing by $2.13 million to $15.26 million at March 31, 2007 from $17.39 million at September 30, 2006. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.26 million in federal funds sold to $6.66 million at March 31, 2007 from $5.40 million at September 30, 2006. Investment Securities and Mortgage-backed Securities: Investment and mortgage-backed securities decreased by $14.19 million or 17.4% to $67.29 million at March 31, 2007 from $81.48 million at September 30, 2006, as a result of regular amortization and prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and the maturity or call of U.S. agency securities. At March 31, 2007, the Company's securities' portfolio was comprised of mutual funds of $32.06 million, U.S. agency securities of $18.88 million, and mortgage-backed securities of $16.36 million. The mutual funds invest primarily in mortgage-backed products and U.S. agency securities. For additional information, see the "Investment Securities" table included herein. Loans: Net loans receivable increased by $55.24 million to $479.89 million at March 31, 2007 from $424.65 million at September 30, 2006. The increase in the portfolio was primarily a result of a $23.72 million increase in construction loans (net of undisbursed portion of construction loans in process), an $18.73 million increase in land loans, a $5.99 million increase in one- to four-family loans, a $4.34 million increase in consumer loans, and a $3.49 million increase in commercial business loans. Loan demand remained strong as loan originations totaled $166.96 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $109.76 million for six months ended March 31, 2006. The Bank also continued to sell longer-term fixed rate loans for asset liability management purposes. The Bank sold fixed rate one- to four-family mortgage loans totaling $13.88 million for six months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $13.05 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006. For additional information, see the sections entitled "Loan Portfolio Composition" and "Construction and Land Development Loan Portfolio Composition" included herein. Other Real Estate Owned and Other Repossessed Items: OREO and other repossessed items increased to $71,000 at March 31, 2007 from $15,000 at September 30, 2006 as one manufactured home was repossessed. At March 31, 2007, OREO and other repossessed items consisted of one vehicle and one manufactured home. For additional information, see the section entitled "Non-performing Assets" included herein. Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment increased to $16.74 million at March 31, 2007 from $16.73 million at September 30, 2006. Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible: The value of goodwill remained unchanged. The amortized value of core deposit intangible decreased to $1.36 million at March 31, 2007 from $1.51 million at September 30, 2006. The decrease is attributable to scheduled amortization of the core deposit intangible. Deposits: Deposits increased by $13.06 million, or 3.0%, to $444.12 million at March 31, 2007 from $431.06 million at September 30, 2006. The deposit increase was primarily a result of a $17.70 million increase in certificate of deposit accounts, a $3.57 million increase in money market accounts, and a $1.93 million increase in savings accounts. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $5.56 million in N.O.W. checking accounts and a $4.58 million decrease in non-interest bearing accounts. For additional information, see the section entitled "Deposit Breakdown" included herein. FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings: FHLB advances and other borrowings increased by $29.11 million to $92.82 million at March 31, 2007 from $63.71 million at September 30, 2006 as the Bank used additional 17 advances to fund loan portfolio growth. For additional information, see "FHLB Advance Maturity Schedule" included herein. Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders' equity decreased by $1.56 million to $77.81 million at March 31, 2007 from $79.37 million at September 30, 2006, primarily as a result of share repurchases of $5.64 million and dividends to shareholders of $1.34 million. These decreases to shareholders' equity were partially offset by net income of $3.87 million, an increase of $932,000 to additional paid in capital from the exercise of stock options, and a $266,000 net increase in the fair value of securities available for sale. During the six months ended March 31, 2007 the Company repurchased 152,505 shares of its common stock for $5.64 million at an average price of $37.01 per share. Cumulatively, the Company has repurchased 3,628,226 shares (54.9%) of the 6,612,500 shares that were issued in its 1998 initial public offering, at an average price of $16.86 per share. For additional information, see Item 2 of Part II of this Form 10-Q. Non-performing Assets: Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.06% at March 31, 2007 compared to 0.02% at September 30, 2006, as total non-performing assets increased to $393,000 at March 31, 2007 from $95,000 at September 30, 2006. Total non-performing assets of $393,000 at March 31, 2007 consisted of a $200,000 commercial business loan, two land loans totaling $86,000, a $34,000 single family mortgage loan, a $2,000 consumer loan and other repossessed items totaling $71,000. The Company had a net charge-off of $6,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2007 and during the last five fiscal years its net charge-offs to outstanding loans ratio has averaged less than 0.10% per year. For additional information, see the section entitled "Non-performing Assets" included herein.

Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.54 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $0.53 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Net income decreased by $82,000 to $3.87 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $3.95 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006. Diluted earnings per share decreased to $1.08 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $1.09 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The decreased net income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily a result of increased non-interest expense, decreased non-interest income, and a provision to the allowance for loan losses, which were partially offset by increased net interest income. Increased employee and advertising expenses in addition to expenses associated with expanding the Bank's lending team were partially responsible for the increased non-interest expense. The Bank made significant investments in its lending operations during the last twelve months as a number of experienced lenders were added. While these personnel investments produced a significant increase in loan originations and net loans outstanding during the past two quarters, they have also led to increased salary and benefit expenses. Net interest income increased during the current periods as a result of a larger interest earning asset base, however, margin compression resulting from higher funding costs mitigated the impact of this growth. Following the industry trend and a flat yield curve environment, the net interest margin compressed to 4.75% and 4.74% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2007 from 4.84% and 4.85% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006. A more detailed explanation of the income statement categories is presented below. Net Income: Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $30,000 to $1.92 million from $1.95 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Despite the decrease in net income, earnings per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased to $0.54 from $0.53 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as the Company had fewer weighted average shares outstanding during the current quarter. The $0.01 increase in diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was primarily a result of a $426,000 ($277,000 net of income tax - $0.08 per diluted share) increase in net interest income and a decrease in the number of weighted average shares outstanding ($0.01 per diluted share). These increases to earnings per share were partially offset by a $220,000 ($143,000 net of income tax - $0.04 per diluted share) increase in non-interest expense, a $156,000 ($101,000 net of income tax - $0.03 per diluted share) provision for loan losses and an $85,000 decrease ($55,000 net of income tax - $0.01 per diluted share) in non-interest income. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $82,000 to $3.87 million, or $1.08 per diluted share from $3.95 million, or $1.09 per diluted share for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The $0.01 decrease in diluted earnings per share for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily the result of a $480,000 ($312,000 net of income tax - $0.09 per diluted share) increase in non-interest expense, a $160,000 ($104,000 net of income tax - $0.03 per diluted share) decrease in non-interest income, and a $156,000 ($101,000 net of income tax - $0.03 per diluted share) provision for loan losses. These decreases were partially offset by a $675,000 ($439,000 net of income tax - $0.12 per diluted share) increase in net interest income and a decrease in the number of weighted shares outstanding ($0.02 per diluted share). Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased by $426,000, or 7.0%, to $6.49 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $6.06 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, primarily as a result of a larger interest earning asset base. Total interest income increased by $1.52 million to $10.17 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $8.65 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as average total interest earning 23 assets increased by $46.04 million. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 7.44% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from 6.91% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Total interest expense increased by $1.09 million to $3.68 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $2.59 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased to 3.23% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from 2.47% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The net interest margin decreased to 4.75% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from 4.84% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Net interest income increased by $675,000 to $12.76 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $12.09 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006, primarily as a result of a larger interest earning asset base. Total interest income increased by $2.84 million to $19.93 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $17.09 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 as average total interest earning assets increased by $40.09 million. The yield on interest earning assets increased to 7.41% for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from 6.87% for the six months ended March 31, 2006. Total interest expense increased by $2.16 million to $7.17 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $5.01 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased to 3.18% for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from 2.38% for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The net interest margin decreased to 4.74% for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from 4.85% for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The margin compression was primarily attributable to increased funding costs which were greater than the increased yield on interest earning assets. Increased funding costs resulted from an increase in interest rates on deposits and an increased reliance on FHLB advances to fund loan growth. For additional information, see the section entitled "Rate Volume Analysis" included herein. 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.

Includes loans originated for sale. Provision for Loan Losses: A provision for loan losses of $156,000 was made during the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2007. Despite excellent asset quality, a provision was made primarily in connection with loan portfolio growth and composition. At March 31, 2007, the Company's non-performing assets to total assets were only 0.06%. 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 loans on non- accrual status, and other factors to determine an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. Based on its comprehensive analysis, management deemed the allowance for loan losses of $4.27 million at March 31, 2007 (0.89% of loans receivable and 1,327% of non-performing loans) adequate to provide for probable losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date. The allowance for loan losses was $4.12 million (1.04% of loans receivable and 202% of non-performing loans) at March 31, 2006. The Company had a net charge-off of $6,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and a net recovery of $20,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. For additional information, see the section entitled "Activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses" included herein. Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income decreased by $85,000 to $1.42 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $1.51 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, primarily as a result of a decrease in service charges on deposits and gain on sale of loans. These decreases were partially offset by increased servicing income on loans sold and increased ATM transaction fees. Total non-interest income decreased by $160,000 to $2.90 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $3.06 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006, primarily as a result of decreases in services charges on deposits, gain on sale of loans, and fee income from the sale of non-deposit investment products. The decrease in service charges on deposits was primarily a result of fewer overdrafts on checking accounts. The decrease in loan sale income was primarily a result of reduced profit margins on the loans sold due to 25 competitive market pricing and the reduction in non-deposit investment sale fee income was a result of decreased sales volume. These decreases were partially offset by increased servicing income on loans sold and increased ATM transaction fees. Non-interest Expense: Total non-interest expense increased by $220,000 to $4.94 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $4.72 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of a $29,000 increase in salary expense, a $29,000 increase in premises and equipment expense, a $22,000 increase in advertising expense and smaller increases in several other categories. The Company's efficiency ratio increased to 62.42% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from 62.33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Total non-interest expense increased by $480,000 to $9.84 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $9.36 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The increase was primarily a result of a $184,000 increase in salary expense, a $64,000 increase in advertising expense, a $44,000 increase in premises and equipment expense, a $32,000 increase in ATM expense and smaller increases in several other categories. The Company's efficiency ratio increased to 62.78% for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from 61.74% for the six months ended March 31, 2006. Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes decreased to $901,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $906,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 primarily as a result of lower income before taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 31.98% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 31.77% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The provision for income taxes decreased to $1.81 million for the six months ended March 31, 2007 from $1.85 million for the six months ended March 31, 2006 primarily as a result of lower income before taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 31.83% for the six months ended March 31, 2007 and 31.84% for the six months ended March 31, 2006. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, proceeds from maturing securities, FHLB advances, and other borrowings. While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. An analysis of liquidity should include a review of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended March 31, 2007. 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 decreased by $871,000 to $21.92 million at March 31, 2007 from $22.79 million at September 30, 2006. The Company's decreased liquid assets were primarily a result of funding loan growth. The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds for loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At March 31, 2007, the Bank's regulatory liquidity ratio (net cash, and short-term 26 and marketable assets, as a percentage of net deposits and short-term liabilities) was 11.53%. The Bank maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB of Seattle that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate amount of $128.30 million, under which $92.23 million was outstanding at March 31, 2007. The Bank also has a $10.0 million overnight credit line with Pacific Coast Banker's Bank. At March 31, 2007, the Bank did not have any outstanding advances on this credit 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 Pacific Coast Banker's Bank. 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, 2007, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $31.56 million and undisbursed loans in process totaling $68.03 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, 2007 totaled $178.99 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its certificates of deposit as they mature. Federally-insured state-chartered banks are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital. Under current FDIC regulations, insured state-chartered banks generally must maintain (i) a ratio of Tier 1 leverage capital to total assets of at least 3.0% (4.0% to 5.0% for all but the most highly rated banks), (ii) a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of at least 4.0% and (iii) a ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of at least 8.0%. At March 31, 2007, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital requirements. For additional details see the section below entitled "Regulatory Capital." Regulatory Capital The following table compares the Bank's regulatory capital at March 31, 2007 to its minimum regulatory capital requirements at that date (Dollars in thousands): Percent of Amount Adjusted Total Assets (1) ------ ------------------------- Tier 1 (leverage) capital $62,727 10.69% Tier 1 (leverage) capital requirement 23,479 4.00 ------- ----- Excess $39,248 6.69% ======= ===== Tier 1 risk adjusted capital $66,999 12.96% Tier 1 risk adjusted capital requirement 19,359 4.00 ------- ----- Excess $47,640 8.96% ======= ===== Total risk based capital $66,999 13.84% Total risk based capital requirement 38,718 8.00 ------- ----- Excess $28,281 5.84% ======= ===== - ------------ (1) For the Tier 1 (leverage) capital, percent of total average assets calculation, total average of assets were $586.98 million. For the Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital calculations, total risk-weighted assets were $483.97 million. 27 TIMBERLAND BANCORP, INC.

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, 2006. 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, 2007 the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. (b) Changes in Internal Controls: There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company continued, however, to implement suggestions from its internal auditor and independent auditors to strengthen existing controls. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; as over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. 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.
