Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements for Timberland Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and with instructions for Form
10-Q and therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete
presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. However, all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial
statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Timberland
Bancorp, Inc. 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for
the nine months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
(b) Principles of Consolidation: The interim consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Timberland Bank ("Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-
owned subsidiary, Timberland Service Corp. All significant intercompany
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported mounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to
common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted earnings
per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the
weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for
items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the
treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company's common
stock during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from assumed
conversion of outstanding stock options and awarded but not released
Management Recognition and Development Plan ("MRDP") shares. In accordance
with Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee
Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP), issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, shares owned by the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan
that have not been allocated are not considered to be outstanding for the
purpose of computing earnings per share. At June 30, 2003 and 2002, there
were 361,483 and 396,750 ESOP shares, respectively, that had not been
allocated.

(3) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
At June 30, 2003 the Company has an employee and director stock option plan.
The Company accounts for options granted under that plan under the recognition
and measurement principles of APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees and related interpretations. Accordingly, no stock-based
compensation cost is reflected in net income as the exercise price for all
options granted under the plan was equal to the market value of the Company's
stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net
income and earnings per share for the three and the nine months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002 if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions
of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation for the effects of
all options granted:

(4) DIVIDEND
On July 10, 2003, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per
common share. The dividend is to be paid August 18, 2003, to shareholders of
record as of the close of business August 4, 2003.
(5) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No.
123." This Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. It also expands and clarifies the disclosure
requirements to make those disclosures more prominent and to require such
disclosures in interim as well as annual financial statements. While the
Company plans to continue to account for stock-based compensation under APB
Opinion 25, the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 have been implemented
for interim reporting beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The
Company does not expect adoption of SFAS No. 148 to have a material impact on
its financial statements.
11
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operation
--------------------
The following analysis discusses the material changes in the financial
condition and results of operations of the Company at and for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2003. This report contains certain "forward-
looking statements." The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
is including this statement for the express purpose of availing itself of the
protection of such safe harbor with forward looking statements. These forward
looking statements may describe future plans or strategies and include the
Company's expectations of future financial results. The words "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements. The Company's ability to predict results
or the effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors
which could affect actual results include competition in the financial
services market for both deposits and loans, interest rate trends, the
economic climate in the Company's market areas and the country as a whole,
loan delinquency rates, and changes in federal and state regulation. These
factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and
undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002
Total Assets: Total assets increased to $444.2 million at June 30, 2003 from
$431.1 million at September 30, 2002. This change is reflected primarily in a
$21.3 million increase in investment securities and interest bearing deposits
in banks, which is partially offset by an $11.7 million decrease in total
loans.
Cash and Due from Financial Institutions: Cash and due from financial
institutions increased to $11.0 million at June 30, 2003 from $10.6 million at
September 30, 2002.
Interest Bearing Deposits in Banks: Interest bearing deposits in banks
increased $14.1 million to $39.6 million at June 30, 2003 from $25.5 million
at September 30, 2002. This increase is primarily due to investing the
majority of the proceeds from loan sales, loan prepayments, and increased
customer deposits, on a short-term basis, due to the current low-rate interest
environment.
Securities: Securities increased 17.3% to $48.8 million at June 30, 2003 from
$41.6 million at September 30, 2002. This increase is primarily due to
investing a portion of the proceeds from loan sales, loan prepayments, and
increased customer deposits into short-duration mutual funds and
mortgage-backed securities. At June 30, 2003, the Company's securities'
portfolio was comprised of mutual funds of $34.6 million and mortgage-backed
securities of $14.1 million.
Loans Receivable and Loans Held-for-Sale, Net of Allowance for Loan Losses:
Net loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, decreased to $310.8
million at June 30, 2003 from $322.5 at September 30, 2002, primarily
reflected in a $16.6 million decrease in the Bank's one-to-four family
mortgage loan portfolio. The portfolio decrease was primarily due to loan
prepayments, as a result of the historically low home mortgage rates, and the
sale of a majority of the one-to-four family mortgages generated during the
period. During the nine months ended June 30, 2003, the Bank originated
loans of $184.4 million and sold $88.0 million in fixed rate one-to-four
family mortgage loans. Management elected to sell a majority of the fixed
rate residential real estate loans originated instead of adding them to the
Bank's portfolio due to the low rate environment.
Partially offsetting the decrease of one-to-four family mortgage loans in the
Bank's portfolio, was an increase in construction and land development loans,
which grew to $91.9 million at June 30, 2003 from $80.1 million at September
30, 2002. The majority of the construction portfolio continues to be comprised
of residential construction loans. At June 30, 2003, custom home construction
loans, owner / builder construction loans, and
12
speculative one-to-four family home construction loans comprised 77.0% of the
Bank's total construction loan portfolio.
Real Estate Owned ("REO"): Real estate owned increased to $1.2 million at
June 30, 2003 from $680,000 at September 30, 2002. The increase was
primarily due to the addition of five 1-4 family residences, two parcels of
land and one commercial building. At June 30, 2003, the REO amount was
primarily comprised of one-to-four family homes totaling $852,000, land
parcels totaling $214,000 and commercial buildings totaling $169,000.
Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment increased by $1.4 million to
$13.0 million at June 30, 2003 from $11.7 million at September 30, 2002. This
increase is primarily due to costs associated with the construction of the
Silverdale branch (which opened January 13, 2003), remodeling of a commercial
building in Hoquiam, which has become the current location of the Bank's loan
servicing and escrow departments, remodeling of the Bank's home office in
Hoquiam, and the remodeling of a building in downtown Olympia that will become
the Bank's 15th full-service office. The downtown Olympia branch is scheduled
to open in mid to late August 2003 and will serve as the headquarters for the
Bank's Commercial Lending and Business Banking Divisions.
The Bank announced in May its plans to expand to the city of Gig Harbor
(Pierce County). Plans are to open a branch in the Gig Harbor area within the
next 6 months.
Deposits: Deposits increased by $10.6 million to $302.9 million at June 30,
2003 from $292.3 million at September 30, 2002, primarily due to a $9.0
million increase in the Bank's savings accounts, a $7.7 million increase in
N.O.W. checking accounts and a $4.2 million increase in non-interest bearing
accounts. These increases are partially offset by a $6.2 million decrease in
money market accounts and a $4.1 million decrease in certificate of deposit
accounts.
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Advances: FHLB advances decreased to $61.6
million at June 30, 2003 from $61.8 million at September 30, 2002.
Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders' equity increased by $2.9 million to
$77.3 million at June 30, 2003 from $74.4 million at September 30, 2002. The
components of shareholders' equity were primarily affected by net income of
$5.2 million, the repurchase of 122,259 shares of the Company's stock for $2.3
million and the payment of $1.6 million in dividends to shareholders. Also
affecting shareholders' equity was a $742,000 increase from the exercise of
stock options, and decreases of $483,000 and $396,000 in the equity components
related to unearned shares issued to the Management Recognition and
Development Plan and Employee Stock Ownership Plans, respectively.
On February 14, 2003 the Company announced a plan to repurchase 380,028 shares
of the Company's stock. This marked the Company's eleventh stock repurchase
plan. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had purchased 46,000 of these shares
and cumulatively had repurchased 2,644,563 (40.0%) of the 6,612,500 shares
that were issued when the Company went public in January 1998.
Non-performing Assets: Total non-performing assets decreased to $3.4 million
at June 30, 2003 from $4.4 million at September 30, 2002. The Company's
non-performing asset ratio to total asset ratio ("NPA") decreased to 0.77% at
June 30, 2003 from 1.03% at September 30, 2002. Nonaccrual loans decreased by
41.6% to $2.2 million at June 30, 2003 from $3.7 million at September 30,
2002, primarily reflected in a $1.1 million decrease in the construction and
land development category, a $158,000 decrease in the one-to-four family
mortgage loan category, and a $151,000 decrease in the commercial mortgage
loan category. The decrease in
13
non-accrual loans was partially offset by a $567,000 increase in real estate
owned and improvements made to real estate owned.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30,
2003 and 2002
Net Income: Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $1.54 million,
or $0.38 per diluted share ($0.41 per basic share) compared to $1.80 million,
or $0.45 per diluted share ($0.46 per basic share) for the quarter ended June
30, 2002. The lower earnings for the current quarter were primarily a result
of increased non-interest expenses related to technology improvements and
higher employee costs resulting from a larger employee base. The increase in
non-interest expenses was, however, partially offset by increased non-interest
income from loan sales, security sales, and BOLI income.
18
Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 was $5.20 million, or $1.30
per diluted share ($1.36 per basic share) compared to $5.13 million, or $1.27
per diluted share ($1.31 per basic share) for the nine months ended June 30,
2002.
The Company also announced in its July 22, 2003 earnings release that
additional expenses associated with planned technology improvements will
reduce earnings for the September 30, 2003 quarter by approximately $0.05 per
diluted share. Additional details concerning the technology improvements are
discussed below.
Net Interest Income: Net interest income decreased $175,000 to $4.60 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $4.77 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2002, as the continued downward pressure on interest rates further
compressed the net interest margin from a year ago. Total interest income
decreased $632,000 to $6.77 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from
$7.41 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to a
reduction in average yields on earning assets. The yield on earning assets
was 6.65% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to 7.65% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002. In addition to overall lower market rates, the
yield was also impacted by a shift in the makeup of total earning assets. In
2002, loans, the Company's highest yielding class of assets, comprised 83.6%
of average earning assets. In 2003, loans were 77.3% of average earning
assets. This change was largely influenced by the decision to sell many of
the loans originated in the current periods. That had the effect of
increasing the gain on loans sold, at the expense of interest income. The
impact of lower average yields was, however, partially offset by increased
levels of average earning assets. Total interest expense decreased $457,000
to $2.18 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $2.64 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2002. The average cost of funds for each of the
Bank's deposit account types for the current quarter was lower than a year
ago. The overall cost of funds decreased to 2.62% for the quarter ended June
30, 2003 from 3.42% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. As a result of these
changes, the net interest margin decreased to 4.51% for the quarter ended June
30, 2003 from 4.93% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.
Net interest income decreased $480,000 to $14.09 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2003 from $14.57 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2002 due to a similar net interest margin compression. Total interest income
decreased $1.89 million to $20.98 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2003 from $22.86 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, primarily
due to a reduction in average yields on earning assets. The yield on earning
assets was 6.92% for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 8.13% for
the nine months ended June 30, 2002. The impact of lower average yields was,
however, partially offset by increased levels of average earning assets.
Total interest expense decreased $1.41 million to $6.88 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2003 from $8.29 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2002. The average cost of funds for each of the Bank's deposit account
types for the current period was lower than a year ago. The overall cost of
funds decreased to 2.77% for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 from 3.71%
for the nine months ended June 30, 2002. As a result of these changes, the
net interest margin decreased to 4.65% for the nine months ended June 30, 2003
from 5.18% for the nine months ended June 30, 2002.
Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses decreased to $66,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $200,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2002. The provision for loan losses decreased to $347,000 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2003 from $792,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2002. The Bank has established a systematic methodology for the
determination of provisions for loan losses. On a quarterly basis the Bank
performs an analysis taking into consideration historic loss experience for
various loan segments, changes in economic conditions, delinquency rates, and
other factors to determine the level of allowance for loan losses needed.
Based on its analysis, management deemed the allowance for loan losses of
$3.938 million at June 30, 2003 (1.26% of loans receivable and 180.1% of
non-performing loans) adequate to provide for probable losses based
19
on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that
date. The allowance for loan losses was $3.464 million (1.08% of loans
receivable and 77.0% of non-performing loans) at June 30, 2002. The increase
in the level of the allowance for loan losses primarily resulted from a slight
change in the mix of the loan portfolio. The Company had net recoveries of
$3,000 for the current quarter compared to net charge-offs of $186,000 in the
same quarter of 2002. For the nine months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, net
charge-offs were $39,000 and $378,000 respectively.
Noninterest Income: Total non-interest income increased $459,000 to $1.65
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $1.19 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to a $134,000 increase in gain on sale of
securities, the recognition of $131,000 in BOLI income, and a $113,000
increase in gain on sale of loans. The gain on sale of securities was the
result of the sale of a $1.9 million mortgage-backed security. The increased
loan sale gains are primarily a result of the Bank selling $25.7 million in
fixed-rate one-to-four family loans during the current quarter. During the
same period in 2002, the Bank sold $15.5 million in fixed-rate one-to-four
family loans.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2003 non-interest income increased $1.40
million to $4.79 million from $3.40 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2002. This increase is primarily due to a $436,000 increase in gain on sale
of loans, the recognition of $401,000 in BOLI income, a $223,000 increase in
service charges on deposits, and a $149,000 increase in ATM transaction fees.
The increased deposit-related service charge income is primarily a result of
the Bank's checking account acquisition program. Since the program began in
December 2000, the Bank has increased the number of its consumer checking
accounts by 103% and increased its consumer checking account balances by $30.7
million.
Noninterest Expense: Total non-interest expense increased by $805,000 to
$3.94 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $3.14 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2002. This increase is primarily due to a
$339,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and $252,000 in expenses
related to the core processing system conversion and technology related
technology improvements. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is
primarily a result of adding employees to staff the Silverdale branch,
increasing staffing levels in several other departments, and salary increases
in October of 2002. The technology conversion related expenses are reflected
in the income statement under premises and equipment ($135,000) and other
non-interest expenses ($117,000).
For the nine months ended June 30, 2003 non-interest expense increased by
$1.58 million to $10.97 million from $9.39 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2002. This increase is primarily due to a $949,000 increase in
salaries and employee benefits, technology conversion related expenses of
$271,000 and a $115,000 increase in ATM expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes decreased to
$694,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from $825,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2002. The provision for income taxes decreased to $2.37
million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 from $2.66 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 2002. The Company's effective tax rate was 31.1%
and 31.3% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 31.5%
and 34.1% for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002. The lower
effective tax rates resulted primarily from increased tax-exempt income from
the Bank owned life insurance program that was implemented in September 2002.
Technology Improvement Expenses
- -------------------------------
The Company's planned technology improvements announced previously are in
process and on schedule. The conversion to the Kirchman Bankway core
processing system from the current in-house supported system will occur in
August of this year. In addition to the core processing system, Timberland is
also changing its Internet
20
banking provider, its ATM service provider and its loan platform system. The
Company believes that these changes will enhance customer service, streamline
the loan processing system, and allow the Bank to offer more products to its
commercial and retail customers. The Company incurred expenses of $252,000
($166,000 net of income tax) related to the technology upgrades and conversion
process during the June 30, 2003 quarter. These expenses reduced earnings by
approximately $0.04 per diluted share for the June 30, 2003 quarter.
It is estimated that additional expenses related to the technology initiatives
and conversion process will also reduce earnings for the September 30, 2003
quarter by approximately $0.05 per diluted share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from
principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage backed securities, and
proceeds from the sale of loans, maturing securities and FHLB advances. 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.
The analysis of liquidity should also include a review of the changes that
appear in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended
June 30, 2003. The statement of cash flows includes operating, investing and
financing categories. Operating activities include net income, which is
adjusted for non-cash items, and increases or decreases in cash due to certain
changes in assets and liabilities. Investing activities consist primarily of
proceeds from maturities and sales of securities, purchases of securities, and
the net change in loans. Financing activities present the cash flows
associated with the Company's deposit accounts and other borrowings.
The Company's consolidated total of cash and due from financial institutions
increased $429,000 to $11.0 million at June 30, 2003 from $10.6 million at
September 30, 2002. The Company's level of interest bearing deposits in banks
increased by $14.1 million to $39.6 million at June 30, 2003 from $25.5
million at September 30, 2002. The net increase in cash and interest bearing
deposits in banks is primarily a result of funds received from loan
prepayments and loan sales, which led to a net decrease of $11.7 million in
total loans, and from funds received from increased customer deposits.
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 June 30, 2003,
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 32.5%.
The Bank also maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB-Seattle
that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate amount of
$134.0 million, under which $61.6 million was outstanding at June 30, 2003.
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. If the
Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has
additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and collateral for repurchase
agreements.
21
The Bank's primary investing activity is the origination of one-to-four family
mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans, and construction and land
development loans. At June 30, 2003, the Bank had loan commitments totaling
$27.6 million and undisbursed loans in process totaling $37.1 million. The
Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current
loan commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in
less than one year from June 30, 2003 totaled $103.7 million. Historically,
the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they
mature.
Federally-insured state-chartered banks are required to maintained minimum
levels of regulatory capital. Under current FDIC regulations, insured
state-chartered banks generally must maintain (i) a ratio of Tier 1 leverage
capital to total assets of at least 3.0% (4.0% to 5.0% for all but the most
highly rated banks), (ii) a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of
at least 4.0% and (iii) a ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of at
least 8.0%. At June 30, 2003, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable
capital requirements. For additional details see "Regulatory Capital".
