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 six months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2012.

(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 March 31, 2012 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 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 eight 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 net income 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 eight 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 March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded net OTTI charges through earnings on residential MBS of $94,000 and $35,000, respectively. During the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded net OTTI charges through earnings on residential MBS of $153,000 and $171,000, 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 March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011:

	Range							Weighted
	Minimum			Maximum			Average
At March 31, 2012
Constant prepayment rate		6.00	%		15.00	%			9.05	%
Collateral default rate		0.01	%		26.53	%			10.38	%
Loss severity rate		0.23	%		79.24	%			52.30	%

At September 30, 2011

There was a gross realized gain on sale of securities for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 of $20,000. There were no gross realized gains on sale of MBS and other investments for the three months ended March 31, 2011. There was a gross realized gain on sale of MBS and other investments for the six months ended March 31, 2011 of $79,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a $223,000 realized loss (as a result of the securities being deemed worthless) on 18 held to maturity residential MBS and one available for sale residential MBS, of which the entire amount had been recognized previously as a credit loss. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a $419,000 realized loss (as

a result of the securities being deemed worthless) on 20 held to maturity residential MBS and one available for sale residential MBS, of which the entire amount had been recognized previously as a credit loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a $386,000 realized loss (as a result of the securities being deemed worthless) on 17 held to maturity residential MBS of which $384,000 had previously been recognized as a credit loss. During the six months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded a $883,000 realized loss on 18 held to maturity residential MBS and one available for sale residential MBS of which $881,000 had previously been recognized as a credit loss.

The amortized cost of residential mortgage-backed and agency securities pledged as collateral for public fund deposits, federal treasury tax and loan deposits, FHLB collateral, retail repurchase agreements and other non-profit organization deposits totaled $6.28 million and $7.88 million at March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

The contractual maturities of debt securities at March 31, 2012 are as follows (dollars in thousands). Expected maturities may differ from scheduled maturities as a result of the prepayment of principal or call provisions.

(5) FHLB STOCK

The Company views its investment in the FHLB stock as a long-term investment. Accordingly, when evaluating it 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 March 31, 2012. 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.

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 March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

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 $22.99 million in troubled debt restructured loans included in impaired loans at March 31, 2012 and had no commitments to lend additional funds on these loans. At March 31, 2012, $7.10 million of the $22.99 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.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company’s troubled debt restructurings by portfolio segment that occurred during the six months ended March 31, 2012 and the year ended September 30, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

(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 basic and diluted net income per common share. At March 31, 2012 and 2011, there were 264,520 and 299,786 shares, respectively, that had not been allocated under the Bank’s ESOP.

____________________________________________

(1) For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2012, options to purchase 154,476 and 145,053 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. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2011, options to purchase 168,864 and 182,007 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 and six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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.

(8) STOCK PLANS AND STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans

Under the Company’s stock option plans (the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the 2003 Stock Option Plan), the Company was able to grant options for up to a combined total of 1,622,500 shares of common stock to employees, officers and directors. Shares issued may be purchased in the open market or may be issued from authorized and unissued shares. The exercise price of each option equals the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Generally, options vest in 20% annual installments on each of the five anniversaries from the date of the grant. At March 31, 2012, options for 218,938 shares are available for future grant under the 2003 Stock Option Plan and no shares are available for future grant under the 1999 Stock Option Plan.

Activity under the plans for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at March 31, 2012 was $24,000.

At March 31, 2012, there were 46,700 unvested options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $69,000, all of which the Company assumes will vest. The aggregate intrinsic value of unvested options at March 31, 2012 was $23,000. There were 5,000 options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $6,000 that vested during the six months ended March 31, 2012.

At March 31, 2011, there were 20,400 unvested options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $26,000, all of which the Company assumes will vest. There were 5,200 options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $7,000 that vested during the six months ended March 31, 2011.

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 six months ended March 31, 2012 with an aggregate grant date fair value of $52,000. There were no options granted during the six months ended March 31, 2011.

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 six months ended March 31, 2012 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 six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

At March 31, 2012, 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 six months ended March 31, 2012 with an aggregated grant date fair value of $79,000. There were 100 MRDP shares forfeited during the six months ended March 31, 2012 with a grant date fair value of $1,000. At March 31, 2012, there were no shares available for future awards under the MRDP.

At March 31, 2011, there were a total of 28,492 unvested MRDP shares with an aggregated grant date fair value of $324,000. There were 7,433 MRDP shares that vested during the six months ended March 31, 2011 with an aggregated grant date fair value of $81,000. There were 500 MRDP shares forfeited during the six months ended March 31, 2011 with an aggregated grant date fair value of $5,000.

(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 March 31, 2012 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.

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 Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value on a recurring basis:

MBS and Other Investments Available for Sale

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 quoted market prices (Level 1), market prices of similar securities or observable inputs (Level 2).

The following table summarizes the balances of assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Total	$ 1,000	$ 5,717	$ - -	$ 6,717

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended September 30, 2011.

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

The Company uses the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Impaired Loans

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. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

MBS and Other Investments Held to Maturity

OREO and Other Repossessed Assets, net

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.

MSRs

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 following table summarizes the balances of assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2012, and the total losses resulting from these estimated fair value adjustments for the six months ended March 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

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.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimate fair value of its other financial instruments:

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

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. It is not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

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 March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

(10) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The guidance is to be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occurred on or after the effective date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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 did not alter any recognition or measurement requirements with respect to the items of other comprehensive income (loss). The provisions of this guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact 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 adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s 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 (loss) 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 adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We do not undertake and specifically disclaim any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. These risks could cause our actual results for 2012 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of us, and could negatively affect the Company’s operations and stock price performance.

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 March 31, 2012, the Company had total assets of $742.71 million and total shareholders’ equity of $87.98 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 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 and six month period ended March 31, 2012, non-interest income consisted primarily of service charges 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 and foreclosure expenses, deposit operation expenses and 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 based upon these factors and trends identified by management at the time the condensed 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. 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 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 March 31, 2012, 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 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 March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011

The Company’s total assets increased by $4.49 million, or 0.6%, to $742.71 million at March 31, 2012 from $738.22 million at September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily as a result of the increase in net loans receivable.

Net loans receivable increased by $6.97 million, or 1.3%, to $534.99 million at March 31, 2012 from $528.02 million at September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loan balances, 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, consumer loan balances and land development loan balances.

Total deposits increased by $11.92 million, or 2.0%, to $604.60 million at March 31, 2012 from $592.68 million at September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of increases in money market account balances, savings account balances, non-interest bearing account balances and N.O.W. checking account balances. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit account balances.

Shareholders’ equity increased by $1.78 million, or 2.1%, to $87.98 million at March 31, 2012 from $86.20 million at September 30, 2011. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily a result of net income for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

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 $1.08 million or 0.8%, to $131.80 million at March 31, 2012 from $130.72 million at September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $1.52 million increase in CDs held for investment, which was partially offset by a $444,000 decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

MBS (Mortgage-backed Securities) and Other Investments: MBS and other investments decreased by $1.89 million, or 17.4%, to $8.97 million at March 31, 2012 from $10.86 million at September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily a result of scheduled amortization and prepayments on MBS, the sale of a $722,000 U.S. government agency 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 $6.97 million, or 1.3%, to $534.99 million at March 31, 2012 from $528.02 million at September 30, 2011. The increase in the portfolio was primarily a result of a $9.29 million increase in commercial real estate loan balances, a $4.37 million increase in commercial business loan balances, a $4.22 million increase in commercial real estate construction loan balances and a $1.90 million increase in custom and owner/builder construction loan balances. These increases to net loans receivable were partially offset by a $9.11 million decrease in one-to four-family loan balances, a $4.68 million decrease in land loan balances, a $4.04 million decrease in consumer loan balances, a $1.20 million decrease in land development loan balances and a $690,000 decrease in multi-family construction loan balances. Also impacting the net loans receivable was a $7.02 million decrease in the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process.

Loan originations increased to $102.05 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from $87.47 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in loan originations was primarily due to increased demand for commercial real estate loans and increased refinance activity for single family home loans. 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 rate one- to four-family mortgage loans totaling $46.81 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $38.22 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

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 increased by $250,000, or 1.4%, to $17.64 million at March 31, 2012 from $17.39 million at September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the remodeling of an administrative building.

OREO (Other Real Estate Owned): OREO and other repossessed assets decreased by $2.79 million, or 25.8%, to $8.02 million at March 31, 2012 from $10.81 million at September 30, 2011, primarily due to the sale of OREO properties. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, 23 OREO properties and other repossessed assets totaling $4.17 million were sold for a net loss of $294,000. At March 31, 2012, OREO consisted of 51 individual properties and two other repossessed assets. The properties consisted of 35 land parcels totaling $4.16 million, 11 single family homes totaling $1.63 million, four commercial real estate properties totaling $1.35 million and a condominium project of $842,000. The two other repossessed assets totaled $44,000.

Goodwill and CDI: The recorded value of goodwill of $5.65 million at March 31, 2012 remained unchanged from September 30, 2011. The amortized value of the CDI decreased $74,000, or 18.6%, to $323,000 at March 31, 2012 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 $460,000, or 21.9%, to $1.64 million at March 31, 2012 from $2.10 million at September 30, 2011 as a portion of the prepaid amount was expensed.

Deposits: Deposits increased by $11.92 million, or 2.0%, to $604.60 million at March 31, 2012 from $592.68 million at September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily a result of an $8.32 million increase in money market account balances, a $6.04 million increase in savings account balances, a $5.14 million increase in non-interest bearing account balances and a $3.34 million increase in N.O.W. checking account balances. These increases were partially offset by a $10.91 million decrease in certificates of deposit account balances. See the “Deposit Breakdown” schedule below for additional information.

FHLB Advances: FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $10.00 million, or 18.2%, to $45.00 million at March 31, 2012 from $55.00 million at September 30, 2011, as the Bank used a portion of its liquid assets to repay maturing FHLB advances. For additional information, see the “Borrowing Maturity Schedule” set forth below.

Shareholders’ Equity: Total shareholders’ equity increased by $1.78 million, or 2.1%, to $87.98 million at March 31, 2012 from $86.21 million at September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to net income of $2.09 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

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 eight 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 eight quarterly dividend payments as of March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012, the Company had accrued preferred stock dividends in arrears of $1.66 million.

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 $3.18 million, or 8.6%, to $40.13 million at March 31, 2012 from $36.95 million at September 30, 2011. The increase in non-performing assets was primarily a result of a $5.03 million increase in non-accrual loans and a $1.21 million increase in loans past due 90 days and still accruing. These increases to non-performing assets were partially offset by a $2.79 million decrease in OREO and other repossessed assets and a $280,000 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 sale was completed on May 1, 2012 and loans totaling $2.93 million that were included in the past due 90 days and still accruing category at March 31, 2012 were paid off.

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

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:

	At March 31, 2012					At September 30, 2011
	Amount		Percent			Amount		Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
Short-term	$	--		--	%	$	--		--	%
Long-term		45,000		100.0			55,000		100.0

Total FHLB advances	$	45,000		100.0	%	$	55,000		100.0	%

The long-term borrowings mature at various dates through September 2017 and bear interest at rates ranging from 3.69% to 4.34%. The weighted average interest rate on FHLB borrowings at March 31, 2012 was 4.10%. Principal reduction amounts due for future years ending September 30 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Remainder of 2012		--
2013		--
2014		--
2015		--
2016		--
2017		45,000
Total		$45,000

A portion of these advances have a putable feature and may be called by the FHLB earlier than the above schedule indicates. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had additional available borrowing capacity of $142.70 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 March 31, 2012, the Company had a borrowing line capacity with the FRB of $56.21 million of which none was outstanding.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

The Company reported net income of $808,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to net income of $1.08 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Net income to common shareholders after adjusting for the preferred stock dividend and the preferred stock discount accretion was $541,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to net income of $819,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in earnings for the quarter was primarily a result of increased non-interest expense, increased provision for loan losses and decreased net interest income. These decreases to earnings were partially offset by increased non-interest income. Net income per diluted common share was $0.08 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to net income per diluted common share of $0.12 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

The Company reported net income of $2.09 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to net income of $2.44 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. Net income to common shareholders after adjusting for the preferred stock dividend and the preferred stock discount accretion was $1.56 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to net income of $1.92 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in earnings for the six months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily a result of increased non-interest expense, decreased non-interest income, decreased net interest income and an increased provision for loan losses. Net income per diluted common share was $0.23 for the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to net income per diluted common share of $0.28 for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

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

Net Income: Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $275,000, or 25.4%, to $808,000 from net income of $1.08 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Net income to common shareholders after adjusting for preferred stock dividends of $208,000 and preferred stock discount accretion of $59,000 was $541,000, or $0.08 per diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared to $819,000, or $0.12 per diluted common share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

The decrease in net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of a $394,000 increase in non-interest expense, a $350,000 increase in provision for loan losses and a $79,000 decrease in net interest income. These decreases to net income were partially offset by a $385,000 increase in non-interest income and a $163,000 decrease in the provision for federal and state income taxes.

Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $352,000, or 14.4%, to $2.09 million from net income of $2.44 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. Net income to common shareholders

after adjusting for preferred stock dividends of $416,000 and preferred stock discount accretion of $118,000 was income of $1.56 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share for the six months ended March 31, 2012, compared to net income of $1.92 million, or $0.28 per diluted common share for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

The decrease in net income for six months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of a $240,000 increase in non-interest expense, a $123,000 decrease in non-interest income, a $109,000 decrease in net interest income and a $100,000 increase in the provision for loan losses. The decreases to net income were partially offset by a $220,000 decrease in the provision for federal and state income taxes.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased by $79,000, or 1.2%, to $6.27 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from $6.35 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease of 0.06% in the net interest margin, which was partially offset by an increase of $1.79 million in the level of average total interest-bearing assets.

Total interest and dividend income decreased by $689,000 or 8.1%, to $7.80 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from $8.49 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as the yield on interest bearing assets decreased to 4.63% from 5.05% for 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. Total interest expense decreased by $610,000, or 28.5%, to $1.53 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from $2.14 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 1.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from 1.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in funding costs was primarily a result of a decrease in overall market rates and a change in the composition of the funding base as the percentage of certificates of deposit account balances and FHLB advances decreased. The net interest margin decreased to 3.72% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from 3.78% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Net interest income decreased by $109,000, or 0.9%, to $12.57 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from $12.68 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease of 0.07% in the net interest margin, which was partially offset by an increase of $6.81 million in the level of average total interest-bearing assets.

Total interest and dividend income decreased by $1.47 million or 8.5%, to $15.84 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from $17.30 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 as the yield on interest bearing assets decreased to 4.69% from 5.18%. 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 $1.36 million, or 29.4%, to $3.26 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from $4.62 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011 as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 1.13% for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from 1.59% for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in funding costs was primarily a result of a decrease in overall market rates and a change in the composition of the funding base as the percentage of certificates of deposit account balances and FHLB advances decreased. The net interest margin decreased to 3.73% for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from 3.80% for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields/Cost

The following tables sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities and average yields and costs. Such yields and costs for the periods indicated are derived by dividing income or expense by the average daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses increased $350,000, or 50.0%, to $1.05 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from $700,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $758,000 compared to $651,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

The provision for loan losses increased $100,000, or 6.3% to $1.70 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from $1.60 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. Net charge-offs for the six months ended March 31, 2012 were $1.38 million compared to $1.07 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

The increase in the provision for loan losses during the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to increased net charge-offs and an increase in loans receivable. Partially offsetting these items, 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 March 31, 2012 relative to March 31, 2011.

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 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 $12.26 million at March 31, 2012 (2.24% of loans receivable and loans held for sale and 41.4% 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 March 31, 2012 was $2.98 million. The allowance for loan losses was $11.80 million (2.19% of loans receivable and loans held for sale and 49.2% of non-performing loans) at March 31, 2011.

Non-accrual and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing increased $6.25 million to $29.59 million at March 31, 2012 from $23.34 million at September 30, 2011. For additional information, see the section entitled “Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2012 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 increased $385,000, or 18.3%, to $2.49 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from $2.11 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily a result of a $330,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, an $82,000 increase in ATM transaction fees, a $36,000 increase BOLI net earnings and a $20,000 increase in gain on sales of MBS and other investments. These increases to non-interest income were partially offset by a $64,000 change in the valuation recovery on MSRs and a $59,000 increase in net OTTI on MBS and other investments. The increase in gain on sale of loans was primarily a result of an increased volume of fixed rate one-to four-family loans sold during quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Total non-interest income decreased $123,000, or 2.4%, to $4.94 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from $5.06 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily a result of a $614,000 change in the valuation recovery on MSRs. This decrease to non-interest income was partially offset by a $188,000 increase in gain on sale of loans, a $188,000 increase in ATM transaction fees and a $71,000 increase in BOLI net earnings.

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 $226,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2012 compared to a recovery of $840,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, the MSR asset had a remaining valuation allowance of $258,000 that is available for future recovery.

Non-interest Expense: Total non-interest expense increased by $394,000, or 6.4%, to $6.57 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from $6.18 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily the result of a $428,000 increase in OREO and other repossessed assets expense and a $105,000 increase in loan administration and foreclosure expense. These increases to non-interest expense were partially offset by a $91,000 decrease in FDIC insurance expense and a $60,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense.

Total non-interest expense increased by $240,000, or 1.9%, to $12.79 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from $12.55 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily the result of a $502,000 increase in OREO and other repossessed assets expense, a $171,000 increase in deposit operations expense and a $168,000 increase in loan administration and foreclosure expense. These increases to non-interest expense were partially offset by a $260,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense, a $206,000 decrease in FDIC insurance expense and a $134,000 decrease in other insurance expense.

The OREO expense was lower in the comparable periods one year ago primarily due to gains on sale of OREO properties which offset other OREO related expenses incurred. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2011, OREO properties totaling $2.49 million and $2.80 million were sold, resulting in net gains of $533,000 and $555,000, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, OREO properties totaling $667,000 and $4.17 million were sold, resulting in net losses of $24,000 and $294,000, respectively.

Provision for Federal and State Income Taxes: The provision for federal and state income taxes decreased $163,000, or 32.7%, to $336,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from $499,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to lower income before taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate was 29.37% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and 31.54% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

The provision for federal and state income taxes decreased $220,000, or 19.2%, to $927,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2012 from $1.15 million for the six months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to lower income before taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate was 30.73% for the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 31.96% for the six months ended March 31, 2011.

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 six months ended March 31, 2012. 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 $444,000, or 0.4% to $111.62 million at March 31, 2012 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 March 31, 2012, the Bank’s regulatory liquidity ratio (net cash, and short-term and marketable assets, as a percentage of net deposits and short-term liabilities) was 21.85%. 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 $45.00 million was outstanding and $142.70 million was available for additional borrowings at March 31, 2012. The Bank also maintains a short-term borrowing line with the FRB with total credit based on eligible collateral. At March 31, 2012, the Bank had $56.21 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 March 31, 2012, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $40.13 million and undisbursed construction loans in process totaling $11.25 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 March 31, 2012 totaled $142.45 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its non-brokered CDs as they mature. At March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012 to its minimum regulatory capital requirements at that date (dollars in thousands):

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 March 31, 2012 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 March 31, 2012, 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.
