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, 2012 (“2012 Form 10-K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2013.

(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 transactions and 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, 2013 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 (“DFI”) determined that the Bank required supervisory attention and agreed to terms on a Memorandum of Understanding (the “Bank MOU”) with the Bank. The terms of the Bank MOU restricted the Bank from certain activities, and required that the Bank obtain prior written approval, or non-objection from the FDIC and/or the DFI to engage in certain activities. On December 12, 2012, the FDIC and the DFI notified the Bank that the Bank MOU had been rescinded.

In addition, in February 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 (the “Company MOU”). Under the Company MOU, the Company was required, among other things, to 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. On January 15, 2013, the FRB notified the Company that the Company MOU had been rescinded.

(3) PREFERRED STOCK RECEIVED IN TROUBLED ASSET RELIEF PROGRAM (“TARP”) CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM (“CPP”)

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, which was established as part of the TARP. The Company sold 16,641 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (“Series A Preferred Stock”), with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share and a related warrant to purchase 370,899 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.73 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustments) at any time through December 23, 2018. The Series A 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.

The Series A Preferred Stock was initially recorded at the amount of proceeds received. The 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 accrued and any accretion is deducted from net income for computing net income to common shareholders and net income per share computations.

On November 13, 2012, the Company’s outstanding 16,641 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were sold by the Treasury as part of its efforts to manage and recover its investments under the TARP. While the sale of these Series A Preferred shares to new owners did not result in any proceeds to the Company and did not change the Company’s capital position or accounting for these securities, it did eliminate restrictions put in place by the Treasury on TARP recipients. The Treasury retained its related warrant to purchase up to 370,899 shares of the Company’s common stock.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company purchased and retired 4,576 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for $4.32 million; a discount from par value of $255,000. The discount from par value on the repurchased shares was recorded as an increase to net income to common shareholders. This increase to net income to common shareholders was partially offset by $62,000 of accelerated discount accretion on the shares purchased. Even though the Company MOU has been rescinded, approval from the FRB is still required before Series A Preferred Stock can be purchased and retired. Therefore, future repurchases of the the Series A Preferred Stock are contingent upon receiving approval from the FRB.

(4) MBS AND OTHER INVESTMENTS

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded net OTTI charges through earnings on residential MBS of $25,000 and $94,000, respectively. During the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded net OTTI charges through earnings on residential MBS of $35,000 and $153,000, 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 and prepayment speeds

(5) GOODWILL

The Company performed its fiscal year 2012 goodwill impairment test during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 with the assistance of a third-party firm specializing in goodwill impairment valuations for financial institutions. The third-party analysis was conducted as of May 31, 2012 and concluded that the fair value of goodwill was $30.0 million, which exceeded the carrying value of $5.7 million by 426%.

Table of Contents

The goodwill impairment test involved a two-step process. Step one of the goodwill impairment test estimated the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing the allocation of corporate value approach, the income approach and the market approach in order to derive an enterprise value for the Company.

The allocation of corporate value approach applies the aggregate market value of the Company and divides it among the reporting units. The Company has a single reporting unit. The aggregate market value was based on the Company's common stock market price on May 31, 2012, adjusted for a control premium and the value of preferred stock (at its liquidation value). A key assumption in this approach is the control premium applied to the aggregate market value. A control premium is utilized as the value of a company from the perspective of a controlling interest and is generally higher than the widely quoted market price per share. The Company used an expected control premium of 30%, which was based on comparable transaction history.

The income approach uses a reporting unit's projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that are discounted using a rate that reflects current market conditions. The projection uses management's estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates in loans and deposits, estimates of future expected changes in net interest margins and cash expenditures. Key assumptions used by the Company in its discounted cash flow model (income approach) included an annual revenue growth rate that approximated 3.8%, a net interest margin that approximated 3.9% and a return on assets that ranged from 0.47% to 0.74% (average of 0.64%). In addition to the above projections of estimated operating results, key assumptions used to determine the fair value estimate under the income approach were the discount rate of 12.6% utilized for the Company's cash flow estimate and a terminal value of 1.1 times the ending book value of the reporting unit. The Company used a build-up approach in developing the discount rate that included an assessment of the risk free interest rate, the rate of return expected from publicly traded stocks based on an analysis of historical data, the industry the Company operates in and the size of the Company.

The market approach estimates the fair value by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit's operating performance. The multiples were derived from comparable publicly traded companies with operating and investment characteristics similar to those of the reporting unit. In applying the market approach method, the Company selected eight publicly traded institutions based on a variety of financial metrics (tangible equity, return on assets, return on equity, net interest margin, nonperforming assets, net charge-offs, and reserves for loan losses) and other relevant qualitative factors (geographical location, lines of business, risk profile, availability of financial information, etc.).

The Company calculated a fair value of its reporting unit of $62 million using the corporate value approach, $77 million using the income approach and $77 million using the market approach. The concluded value based on the average of the three methods under the step one test was $72 million. The results of the Company's step one test indicated that the reporting unit's fair value was less than its recorded value and therefore the Company performed a step two analysis.

The Company then calculated the implied fair value of its reporting unit under step two of the goodwill impairment test. Under this approach, the Company calculated the fair value for the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. The calculated implied fair value of the Company's goodwill exceeded the recorded value by $24.3 million.

Under the step two process significant adjustments were made to the fair value of the Company's loans receivable compared to its recorded value. The Company utilized a comparable transaction approach using comparable loan sales. In the comparable transaction approach a weighted average discount rate was used that approximated the discount for similar loan sales by the FDIC. A key assumption used by the Company was determining the appropriate discount rate to apply to each loan category. The Company segmented its loan portfolio into three categories: performing loans with credit quality grades of pass; performing loans with credit quality grades of watch, special mention or substandard; and nonperforming loans. Performing loans with credit quality grades of pass were discounted by 5%, performing loans with credit quality grades of watch, special mention or substandard were discounted by 20% and nonperforming loans were discounted by 75%. These weighted average discount rates approximated the discount for similar loan sales by the FDIC. Increases in the pricing for future reported loan sale transactions could have a significant impact on the implied fair value of goodwill under the step two process.

A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of goodwill impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others; a significant decline in the expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in the Company's stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; adverse assessment or action by a regulator; and unanticipated competition. Key assumptions used in the annual goodwill impairment test are highly judgmental and include: selection of comparable companies, amount of control premium, projected cash flows, discount rate applied to projected cash flows and method of estimating fair value of loans. Any change in these indicators or key assumptions could have a significant negative impact on the Company's financial condition, impact the goodwill impairment analysis or cause the Company to perform a goodwill impairment analysis more frequently than once per year.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2013, management believes that there have been no events or changes in the circumstances that would indicate a potential impairment. No assurances can be given, however, that the Company will not record an impairment loss on goodwill in the future.

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 ongoing 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 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.

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.

Table of Contents

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. Troubled debt restructured loans are classified as non-performing loans unless they have been performing in accordance with modified terms for a period of at least six months. The Company had $23.8 million in troubled debt restructured loans included in impaired loans at March 31, 2013 and had $1,000 in commitments to lend additional funds on these loans. The Company had $23.5 million in troubled debt restructured loans included in impaired loans at September 30, 2012 and had $1,000 in commitments to lend additional funds on these loans.

(1) Modifications were a result of a combination of changes (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).

(2) Modification was a result of a reduction in the stated interest rate.

There were no troubled debt restructured loans that were recorded in the six months ended March 31, 2013 or the year ended September 30, 2012 that have subsequently defaulted.

(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, 2013 and 2012, there were 227,154 and 264,520 shares, respectively, that had not been allocated under the Bank’s ESOP.

____________________________________________

(1) For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2013, options to purchase 166,390 and 168,455 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. 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 their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

(2) For the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, 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, 2013, options for 157,338 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, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

Table of Contents

Options exercisable, end of period	68,446		$	9.55	122,326		$	9.84

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at March 31, 2013 was $350,000.

At March 31, 2013, there were 99,500 unvested options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $208,000, all of which the Company assumes will vest. The aggregate intrinsic value of unvested options at March 31, 2013 was $278,000. There were 8,800 options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $13,000 that vested during the six months ended March 31, 2013.

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. 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.

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 29,000 options granted during the six months ended March 31, 2013 with an aggregate grant date fair value of $69,000.

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, 2013 were:



Expected Volatility	45		%
Expected term (in years)	5
Expected dividend yield	—		%
Risk free interest rate	0.76		%
Grant date fair value per share	$	2.37

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 were 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, 2013 and 2012. At March 31, 2013, there were no shares available for future awards under the MRDP.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2013, there were a total of 3,848 unvested MRDP shares with an aggregate grant date fair value of$28,000. There were 5,613 MRDP shares that vested during the six months ended March 31, 2013 with an aggregate grant date fair value of $57,000.

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.

(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, 2013 and September 30, 2012. 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

Table of Contents

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, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

There were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the six months ended March 31, 2013.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the year ended September 30, 2012.

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 that 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 may be significant and typically result in a Level 3

Table of Contents

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: 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) and unobservable inputs such as dealer quotes, discounted cash flows or similar techniques (Level 3).

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 MSRs 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 measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2013, and the total losses resulting from these estimated fair value adjustments for the six months ended March 31, 2013 (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 appropriately manage 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

Table of Contents

monitors interest rates and maturities of assets and liabilities, and attempts to manage 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 estimating 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: 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.

FHLB Stock: No ready market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted market value. However, redemption of this stock has historically been at par value. Accordingly, cost is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans Receivable, Net: At March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, because of an illiquid market for loan sales, the fair value of loans was estimated using comparable market statistics. The loan portfolio was segregated into various categories, and a weighted average valuation discount that approximated similar loan sales was applied to each category.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(10) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance regarding reporting amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and to present either on the face of the statement where net income is presented, or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The amendments are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this updated guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

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, 2013, the Company had total assets of $738.12 million and total shareholders’ equity of $88.53 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, which are 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 estimated 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 periods ended March 31, 2013, 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 and other operating income. Non-interest income is increased by valuation recoveries on MSRs and reduced by valuation allowances 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-

Table of Contents

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. Critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.” That discussion highlights estimates the Company makes that involve uncertainty or potential for substantial change. There have not been any material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the disclosure contained in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012

The Company’s total assets increased by $1.17 million, or 0.16%, to $738.12 million at March 31, 2013 from $736.95 million at September 30, 2012. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase in net loans receivable, CDs held for investment and OREO and other repossessed assets. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in total cash and cash equivalents.

Net loans receivable increased by $8.31 million, or 1.5%, to $546.79 million at March 31, 2013 from $538.48 million at September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate and one-to four-family loan balances. These increases were partially offset by decreases in construction and land development, land, commercial business and consumer loan balances.

Total deposits increased by $3.66 million, or 0.6%, to $601.59 million at March 31, 2013 from $597.93 million at September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of increases in money market account balances, non-interest bearing account balances, savings 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 decreased by $1.79 million, or 2.0%, to $88.53 million at March 31, 2013 from $90.32 million at September 30, 2012. The decrease in shareholders’ equity was primarily a result of the repurchase of 4,576 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the payment of dividends on preferred and common stock. These decreases to shareholder's equity were partially offset by net income for the six months ended March 31, 2013.

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 decreased by $8.30 million or 6.9%, to $111.86 million at March 31, 2013 from $120.16 million at September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily used to fund loan growth and resulted in a $10.87 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, which was partially offset by a $2.57 million increase in CDs held for investment.

MBS (Mortgage-backed Securities) and Other Investments: MBS and other investments decreased by $761,000, or 9.2%, to $7.52 million at March 31, 2013 from $8.28 million at September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of scheduled amortization and prepayments on MBS. OTTI charges of $35,000 were recorded on private label residential MBS during the six months ended March 31, 2013. For additional information on MBS and other investments, see Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in “Item 1, Financial Statements.”

Loans: Net loans receivable increased by $8.31 million, or 1.5%, to $546.79 million at March 31, 2013 from $538.48 million at September 30, 2012. The increase in the portfolio was primarily a result of a $27.05 million increase in commercial real estate loan balances, a $1.33 million increase in one-to four-family loan balances and a $4.16 million decrease in the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process. These increases to net loans receivable were partially offset by decreases of $16.75 million in construction and land development loan balances, $4.33 million in land loan balances, $2.20 million in commercial business loan balances, and $1.35 million in consumer loan balances. The increase in commercial real estate loan balances and the decrease in construction loan balances were primarily due to several large commercial construction loan projects converting to permanent financing during the six months ended March 31, 2013. The Company continued to reduce its exposure to land development and land loans. Land development loan balances decreased to $559,000 at March 31, 2013. The land loan portfolio decreased to $35.23 million at March 31, 2013, an 11.0% decrease from September 30, 2012. The land loan

Table of Contents

portfolio consists of 293 loans on a variety of land types including individual building lots, acreage, raw land and commercially zoned properties. The average loan balance for the entire land loan portfolio was approximately $121,000 at March 31, 2013.

Loan originations increased $7.95 million, or 7.8%, to $110.00 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $102.05 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012. 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 $53.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $46.81 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

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

Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment increased by $240,000, or 1.3%, to $18.13 million at March 31, 2013 from $17.89 million at September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to several remodeling projects at branch offices.

OREO (Other Real Estate Owned): OREO and other repossessed assets increased by $1.73 million, or 13.0%, to $15.03 million at March 31, 2013 from $13.30 million at September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to the addition of $4.45 million in OREO properties and other repossessed assets and was partially offset by the disposition of $2.11 million in OREO properties and other repossessed assets and lower of cost or fair value losses of $619,000. At March 31, 2013, total OREO consisted of 56 individual properties. The properties consisted of eight commercial real estate properties totaling $6.07 million, 34 land parcels totaling $5.01 million, 11 single family homes totaling $1.55 million and three multi-family properties totaling $2.40 million.

Goodwill and CDI: The recorded amount of goodwill of $5.65 million at March 31, 2013 was unchanged from September 30, 2012. The recorded amount of the CDI decreased $65,000, or 26.1%, to $184,000 at March 31, 2013 from $249,000 at September 30, 2012. The decrease was attributable to scheduled amortization of the CDI.

Prepaid FDIC Insurance Assessment: The prepaid FDIC insurance assessment decreased $428,000, or 36.1%, to $758,000 at March 31, 2013 from $1.19 million at September 30, 2012 as a portion of the prepaid amount was expensed.

Deposits: Deposits increased by $3.66 million, or 0.6%, to $601.59 million at March 31, 2013 from $597.93 million at September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of increases of $9.94 million in money market account balances, $5.64 million in non-interest account balances, $4.30 million in savings account balance and $1.93 million in N.O.W. checking account balances. These increases were partially offset by an $18.15 million decrease in certificates of deposit account balances. The increase in money market account balances was primarily due to a number of deposit customers converting their certificates of deposit accounts to money market accounts. The Company had no brokered deposits at March 31, 2013 or September 30, 2012.

FHLB Advances: 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. At March 31, 2013 FHLB advances and other borrowings consisted of long-term FHLB advances with scheduled maturities at various dates in fiscal 2017 and bear interest at rates ranging from 3.69% to 4.34%. A portion of these advances may be called by the FHLB at a date earlier than the scheduled maturity date. FHLB advances remained unchanged at $45.00 million at March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012.

Shareholders’ Equity: Total shareholders’ equity decreased by $1.79 million, or 2.0%, to $88.53 million at March 31, 2013 from $90.32 million at September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of 4,576 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $4.32 million and the payment of $642,000 in dividends on common and preferred stock. These decreases to shareholders' equity were partially offset by net income of $2.99 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

Net income increased $470,000, or 58.2%, to $1.28 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from net income of $808,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Net income to common shareholders, after adjusting for the preferred stock dividend, the preferred stock discount accretion and the repurchase of preferred stock at a discount increased $659,000, or 121.8%, to $1.20 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $541,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase in earnings for the quarter was primarily a result of decreased non-interest expenses, increased non-interest income and increased

Table of Contents

net interest income, which was partially offset by increased provision for loan losses. Net income per diluted common share increased $0.09, or 112.5%, to $0.17 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $0.08 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Net income increased $896,000, or 42.9%, to $2.99 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $2.09 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012. Net income to common shareholders after adjusting for the preferred stock dividend, the preferred stock discount accretion and the repurchase of preferred stock at a discount increased $1.09 million, or 69.9%, to $2.64 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $1.56 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in earnings for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily a result of increased non-interest income, decreased provision for loan losses, increased net interest income and decreased non-interest expenses. Net income per diluted common share increased $0.16, or 69.6%, to $0.39 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $0.23 for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

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

Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased by $168,000, or 2.68%, to $6.44 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $6.27 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to an increase in the net interest margin to 3.83% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from 3.72% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as the decrease in interest expense was greater than the decrease in interest income.

Total interest and dividend income decreased by $252,000 or 3.2%, to $7.55 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $7.80 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as the yield on interest bearing assets decreased to 4.49% from 4.63%. 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 $420,000, or 27.4%, to $1.11 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $1.53 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.80% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from 1.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in funding costs was primarily a result of a decrease in overall market rates and a change in the composition of the deposit base as the percentage of higher costing certificates of deposit account balances decreased.

Net interest income increased by $256,000, or 2.0%, to $12.83 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $12.57 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012. The net interest margin for the six months ended March 31, 2013 increased to 3.80% compared to 3.73% for the six months ended March 31, 2012 as the decrease in interest expense was greater than the decrease in interest income.

Total interest and dividend income decreased by $695,000, or 4.4%, to $15.14 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $15.84 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 as the yield on interest bearing assets decreased to 4.49% for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from 4.69% for the six months ended March 31, 2012. Total interest expense decreased by $951,000, or 29.2%, to $2.31 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $3.26 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012 as the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.82% for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from 1.13% for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses increased $125,000, or 11.9%, to $1.18 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $1.05 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 increased to $1.63 million from $758,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to the increased charge-offs, which were partially offset by a change in the composition of the loan portfolio (discussed below).

The provision for loan losses decreased $325,000, or 19.1% to $1.38 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $1.70 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013. Net charge-offs for the six months ended March 31, 2013 were $1.89 million compared to $1.38 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to a change in the composition of the loan portfolio as the level of higher risk loan categories (net construction and land development loans and land loans) decreased $27.56 million to $62.82 million at March 31, 2013 from $90.38 million at March 31, 2012. In addition, non-accrual loans decreased to $20.45 million at March 31, 2013 from $26.62 million at March 31, 2012. Partially offsetting the improved risk composition of the loan portfolio and the reduction in non-accrual levels was an increase in the level of net charge-offs.

Table of Contents

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 $11.31 million at March 31, 2013 (2.03% of loans receivable and loans held for sale and 54.9% 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 allocated to each loan. The aggregate principal impairment reserve amount determined at March 31, 2013 was $2.79 million. The allowance for loan losses was $12.26 million (2.24% of loans receivable and loans held for sale and 41.4% of non-performing loans) at March 31, 2012.

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 proved 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 Company’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. 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 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in “Item 1, Financial Statements.”

Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income increased $285,000, or 11.4%, to $2.78 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $2.49 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to a $237,000 increase in gain on sale of loans. The increase in gain on sales of loans was primarily a result of an increased volume of fixed rate one-to four-family loans that were sold and an increased pricing spread on the sale of these loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Total non-interest income increased $556,000, or 11.3%, to $5.49 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $4.94 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to a $320,000 increase in gains on sales of loans and a $249,000 increase in the valuation recovery on MSRs. 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 the six months ended March 31, 2013.

The valuation recovery on MSRs was based on a third party valuation of the MSR asset. The Company recorded valuation recoveries on MSRs for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 of $221,000 and $475,000, respectively compared to recoveries for three and six months ended March 31, 2012 of $142,000 and $226,000, respectively. At March 31, 2013, the MSR asset had no remaining valuation allowance available for future recovery.

Non-interest Expense: Total non-interest expense decreased by $388,000, or 5.9%, to $6.18 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $6.57 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of a $323,000 decrease in loan administration and foreclosure expenses and a $113,000 decrease in FDIC insurance expenses. These decreases were partially offset by a $72,000 increase in OREO and other repossessed assets expense. The decrease in loan administration and foreclosures expenses were primarily due to a reduction in loans in the foreclosures process. The decrease in FDIC insurance expenses were primarily due to lower assessment rates as a result of the Bank MOU being rescinded. The increase in OREO and other repossessed assets expense was primarily due to an increased level of valuation adjustments on OREO properties.

Total non-interest expense decreased $233,000, or 1.8%, to $12.56 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $12.79 million for the six months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a $346,000 decrease in loan administration and foreclosure expenses and a $142,000 decrease in OREO and other repossessed assets expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $217,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expense. The decrease in loan administration and foreclosures expenses were primarily due to a reduction in loans in the foreclosures process. The decrease in OREO and other repossessed assets expense was primarily due to gains on sale of OREO properties that reduced the expense for the six months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily due to annual salary adjustments implemented during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 and a one-time benefit from changing the Company’s employee medical insurance provider during the comparable period one year ago. This one-time benefit reduced the salaries and employee benefits expense for the six months ended March 31, 2012 by $99,000.

Provision for Federal and State Income Taxes: The provision for federal and state income taxes increased $246,000, or 73.2%, to $582,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from $336,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily as a

result of increased income before taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 31.29% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 29.37% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

The provision for federal and state income taxes increased $474,000, or 51.1%, to $1.40 million for the six months ended March 31, 2013 from $927,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to increased income before taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 31.94% for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 30.73% for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

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.

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 and other short-term investments

The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At March 31, 2013, 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 17.4%.

The Company’s total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $10.87 million, or 12.7% to $85.80 million at March 31, 2013 from $96.67 million at September 30, 2012. If the Bank requires funds that exceed its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and the FRB. At March 31, 2013 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 $172.26 million was available for additional borrowings. The Bank also maintains a short-term borrowing line with the FRB with available total credit based on eligible collateral. At March 31,2013, the Bank had $54.38 million available for borrowings with the FRB and there was no outstanding balance on this borrowing line.

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 2013, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $29.48 million and undisbursed construction loans in process totaling $12.16 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, 2013 totaled $121.2 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its CDs as they mature. At March 31, 2013, the Bank had no brokered deposits.

Capital Resources

Timberland Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. Timberland Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured savings bank, is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC.

The capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital. 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%. The Federal Reserve requires Timberland Bancorp, Inc. to maintain capital adequacy that generally parallels the FDIC requirements. At March 31, 2013, Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and the Bank each exceeded all applicable capital requirements.

The following table compares the Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts at March 31, 2013 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, 2012.

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, 2013 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

Table of Contents

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, 2013, 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.
