Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(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 for interim financial information and with instructions for Form 10-Q
and therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete
presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. However, all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of the interim condensed consolidated
financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in
the Timberland Bancorp, Inc. 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of
operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

(b) Principles of Consolidation: The interim condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Timberland Bank ("Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Timberland Service Corp. All significant 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 amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

(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, 2004 and 2003, there were 326,216 and 361,483 ESOP shares,
respectively, that had not been allocated.

(3) STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
At June 30, 2004 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 nine months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 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 / SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 27, 2004, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per
common share. The dividend is to be paid August 24, 2004, to shareholders of
record as of the close of business August 10, 2004.

Branch Acquisition Information
- ------------------------------
On June 24, 2004, Timberland announced an agreement to acquire seven branch
offices and related deposits in three Western Washington counties from Venture
Bank. Timberland will acquire approximately $91 million in deposits, which
represents a 30% increase in its deposit base. In addition, Timberland will
acquire real estate, branch infrastructure, and employees for seven offices in
Toledo, Winlock, Elma, Montesano, Hoquiam,


11


Aberdeen and Panorama City. The transaction is scheduled to close in October
2004 and is subject to regulatory approval. The Company estimates that it will
incur transaction-related expenses of approximately $300,000 ($198,000 after
income tax). These costs will be expensed during the next two quarters.

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, 2004. 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, 2004 and September 30, 2003

Total Assets: Total assets decreased $11.9 million to $437.7 million at June 30,
2004 from $449.6 million at September 30, 2003 due to a decrease in the
Company's interest bearing deposits in banks. The balance in the Company's
interest bearing deposits decreased by $27.8 million primarily due to the
repurchase of 463,016 shares of Timberland Bancorp, Inc. stock for $10.6
million, the repayment of $5.6 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and
an increase in net loans receivable of $11.9 million.


Cash and Due from Financial Institutions: Cash and due from financial
institutions increased to $12.5 million at June 30, 2004 from $8.6 million at
September 30, 2003.

Interest Bearing Deposits in Banks: Interest bearing deposits in banks
decreased $27.8 million to $1.7 million at June 30, 2004 from $29.5 million at
September 30, 2003, as a portion of the Company's short-term deposits were used
to fund the share repurchase plans, to repay FHLB advances, and to fund loans.

Securities: Securities decreased $503,000 to $53.8 million at June 30, 2004
from $54.3 million at September 30, 2003. At June 30, 2004, the Company's
securities' portfolio was comprised of mutual funds of $32.5 million,
mortgage-backed securities of $13.4 million, and U.S. agency securities of $7.9
million. The mutual funds invest primarily in mortgage-backed products and U.S.
agency securities.

Loans: Net loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, increased by $11.9
million to $334.1 million at June 30, 2004 from $322.2 at September 30, 2003.
The increase in the portfolio was primarily a result of a $5.0 million increase
in land loans, a $4.5 million increase in commercial real estate loans, a $3.1
million increase in consumer loans, a $1.5 million increase in construction
loans (net of undisbursed portion), and a $1.5 million

12


increase in commercial business loans. These increases were partially offset by
a $3.6 million decrease in the Bank's one-to-four family mortgage loan
portfolio. Loan originations totaled $46.9 million and $133.6 million for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $75.1 million and $184.4
million for the same periods a year earlier. The Bank sold $10.4 million and
$33.3 million in fixed rate one-to-four family mortgage loans for the three and
nine months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $25.7 million and $88.0 million for
the same periods a year earlier.

For additional information, see "Loan Portfolio Composition" section and
"Construction and Land Development Loan Portfolio Composition" section included
herein.

Real Estate Owned and Other Repossessed Items: Real estate owned ("REO") and
other repossessed items decreased to $474,000 at June 30, 2004 from $1.26
million at September 30, 2003 as several properties were sold. At June 30,
2004, the REO amount was primarily comprised of one-to-four family homes
totaling $324,000 and land parcels totaling $137,000. For additional
information, see "Non-performing assets" section included herein.

Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment increased by $476,000 to $13.9
million at June 30, 2004 from $13.4 million at September 30, 2003. This
increase is primarily due to costs associated with the remodeling and expansion
of the Bank's home office in Hoquiam, and costs associated with preparing the
Gig Harbor branch for opening.

President Michael Sand provided an update on the Gig Harbor branch. "We are
pleased to announce that Timberland's new Gig Harbor office opened on July 6,
2004. Occupying an exceptional location, the branch is managed by Richard
Pifer, who has invested 13 years of his 24-year banking career lending in the
Gig Harbor market."

Deposits: Deposits decreased by $79,000 to $307.6 million at June 30, 2004 from
$307.7 million at September 30, 2003, primarily due to a $13.8 million decrease
in the Bank's certificate of deposit accounts, a $1.9 million decrease in
savings accounts, and a $622,000 decrease in money market accounts. These
decreases were offset by a $15.0 million increase in N.O.W. checking accounts
and a $1.3 million increase in non-interest bearing accounts. The Bank continues
to focus on attracting transaction accounts rather than higher-rate time
deposits. Transaction accounts represent a stronger core deposit relationship
than other types of deposit accounts. For additional information, see "Deposit
Breakdown" section included herein.

Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") Advances: FHLB advances decreased to $56.0
million at June 30, 2004 from $61.6 million at September 30, 2003 as the Bank
repaid a maturing advance. For additional information, see "FHLB Advance
Maturity Schedule" included herein.

Shareholders' Equity: Total shareholders' equity decreased by $5.8 million to
$71.8 million at June 30, 2004 from $77.6 million at September 30, 2003,
primarily due to the repurchase of 463,016 shares of the Company's stock for
$10.6 million and the payment of $1.7 million in dividends to shareholders.
Partially offsetting these decreases to equity, were net income of $4.3 million
and a $1.6 million increase to additional paid in capital from the exercise of
stock options. Also affecting shareholders' equity were decreases of $483,000
and $397,000 in the equity components related to unearned shares issued to the
Management Recognition and Development Plan and the Employee Stock Ownership
Plan.

On February 27, 2004, the Company announced a plan to repurchase 360,670 shares
of the Company's stock. This marked the Company's 12th stock repurchase plan.
As of June 30, 2004, the Company has repurchased 195,086 of these shares at an
average price of $22.84 per share. Cumulatively the Company has repurchased
3,173,687 shares at an average price of $14.91 per share. This represents 48.0%
of the 6,612,500 shares that
13


were issued when the Company went public in January 1998. For additional
information, see Item 2 of Part II of this Form 10-Q.

Non-performing Assets: The Company's non-performing asset ratio to total asset
ratio ("NPA") decreased to 0.59% at June 30, 2004 from 1.15% at September 30,
2003, as total non-performing assets decreased to $2.58 million from $5.15
million. The ratio decreased primarily due to a $1.79 million decrease in
non-performing loans and a $784,000 decrease in real estate owned.

The non-performing loan total of $2.1 million at June 30, 2004 consisted of
$659,000 in one-to-four family loans, $616,000 in commercial real estate loans,
$402,000 in one-to-four family construction loans, $367,000 in land loans,
$36,000 in commercial business loans, and $29,000 in consumer loans. Despite
historically having a higher percentage of non-performing loans than relevant
peer group averages, the Company's actual charge-offs have remained low. The
Company's net charge-offs to outstanding loans ratio was a minimal .004% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2004 and during the last five fiscal years has averaged
less than .10% per year.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30,
2004 and 2003

Net Income: Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $1.45 million, or
$0.39 per diluted share ($0.41 per basic share) compared to $1.54 million, or
$0.38 per diluted share ($0.41 per basic share) for the quarter ended June 30,
2003. The increase in earnings per share was primarily a result of the lower
number of weighted average shares outstanding due to share repurchases. Net
income for the current quarter was $95,000 lower than the same period a year ago
primarily due to decreased non-interest income, which was partially offset by
increased net interest income.

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was $4.26 million, or $1.10
per diluted share ($1.16 per basic share) compared to $5.20 million, or $1.30
per diluted share ($1.36 per basic share) for the nine months ended June 30,
2003. The $0.20 per share decrease in earnings for the nine months ended June
30, 2004 was primarily a result of the $1.58 million ($1.04 million net of
income tax - $0.27 per diluted share) decrease in non-interest income and the
$595,000 ($393,000 net of income tax - $0.10 per diluted share) increase in
non-interest expense. These items were partially offset by a $764,000 ($504,000
net of income tax - $0.13 per diluted share) increase in net interest income
after provision for loan losses and a lower number of shares outstanding which
increased diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.04.

In conjunction with the recently announced acquisition of seven Venture Bank
branches, the Company estimates that it will incur transaction-related expenses
of approximately $300,000 ($198,000 after income tax). These costs will be
expensed during the next two quarters. For additional information, see "Branch
Acquisition Information" section included herein.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased $320,000 to $4.92 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $4.60 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2003, primarily due to a decrease in the Company's funding costs. Total
interest expense decreased by $467,000 to $1.71 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004 from $2.18 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as the
Company's total cost of funds decreased to 2.03% from 2.62%. The lower funding
costs were due in part to a change in the composition of interest-bearing
liabilities, as certificate of deposit accounts and FHLB advances decreased
while N.O.W. checking accounts, a lower costing category of funds, increased.
Partially offsetting the reduced funding costs was decreased interest income.
Total interest income decreased $147,000 to $6.63 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004 from $6.77 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, primarily
due to a reduction in average yields on earning assets. The yield on earning
assets was 6.54% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to 6.65% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003. As a result of these changes, the net interest
margin increased to 4.85% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from 4.51% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003.

Net interest income increased $511,000 to $14.60 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2004 from $14.09 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003,
primarily due to a larger interest earning asset base and a decrease in the
Company's funding costs. Average total interest earning assets increased by
$10.0 million to $414.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 from
$404.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003. Total interest expense
decreased by $1.30 million to $5.58 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2004 from $6.88 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003 as the Company's
total cost of funds decreased to 2.17% from 2.77%. Total interest income
decreased $789,000 to $20.19 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004
from $20.98 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to a
reduction in average yields on earning assets. The yield on earning assets was
6.50% for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 6.92% for the nine
months ended June 30, 2003. As a result of these changes, the net interest
margin increased to 4.70% for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 from 4.65% for
the nine months ended June 30, 2003.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended
June 30, 2004 decreased $52,000 to $14,000 from $66,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2003. The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended June 30,
2004 decreased $253,000 to $94,000 from $347,000 for the period ended June 30,
2003. The Bank has established a systematic and comprehensive 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, collateral securing individual loans on non-accrual
status, 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 $3.93
million at June 30, 2004 (1.16% of loans receivable and 186.25% of
non-performing loans) adequate to provide for probable losses based on an
evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date. The
allowance for loan losses was $3.94 million (1.26% of loans receivable and
180.1% of non-performing loans) at June 30, 2003. The Company had a net
charge-off of $14,000 for the current quarter compared to a net recovery of
$3,000 in the same quarter of 2003. For the nine months ended June 30, 2004 and
2003, net charge-offs were $57,000 and $39,000, respectively. For additional
information, see the "Activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses" section
included herein.

Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income decreased $565,000 to $1.08
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $1.65 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to a $272,000 decrease in income from loan
sales (gain on sale of loans and servicing income on loans sold), a $135,000
decrease in gain on sale of securities, a $47,000 decrease in ATM transaction
fees, a $38,000 decrease in escrow fees, and a $26,000 decrease in loan
application fees. Income from loan sales decreased as mortgage banking
activity slowed. The Bank sold $10.4 million in fixed rate one-to-four
mortgages during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to $25.7 million for
the same period a year ago.

Total non-interest income decreased $1.58 million to $3.21 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2004 from $4.79 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2003, primarily due to an $868,000 decrease in income from loan sales (gain on
sale of loans and servicing income on loans sold), a $126,000 decrease in ATM
transaction fees, a $113,000 decrease in service charges on deposits, a $100,000
decrease in escrow fees, an $87,000 decrease in loan application fees and a
$62,000 decrease in BOLI income. Income from loan sales decreased as mortgage
banking activity slowed. The Bank sold $33.3 million in fixed rate one-to-four
mortgages during the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $88.0 million
for the same period a year ago.

Non-interest Expense: Total non-interest expense decreased by $49,000 to $3.89
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $3.94 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2003. The decrease is primarily a result of lower premises and
equipment expenses. Premises and equipment expenses decreased by $154,000
primarily due to technology conversion related expenses that were included in
the June 30, 2003 quarter. Partially offsetting this decrease was an $87,000
increase in salaries and benefits.

Total non-interest expense increased by $595,000 to $11.56 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 2004 from $10.97 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2003. The increase is primarily a result of increased employee expenses.
Salary and benefit expenses increased by $451,000 primarily due to a larger
employee base, annual salary adjustments, increased medical insurance costs, and
overtime related to the Bank's technology conversion.

Provision for Income Taxes: The provision for income taxes decreased to
$645,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $694,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2003, primarily due to decreased net income before

20


taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 30.8% for the quarter ended June
30, 2004 and 31.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.

The provision for income taxes decreased to $1.90 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2004 from $2.37 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2003
primarily due to decreased net income before taxes. The Company's effective tax
rate was 30.9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 31.3% for the
nine months ended June 30, 2003. The lower effective tax rate resulted
primarily from a higher percentage of tax-exempt income during the current
nine-month period.

Branch Acquisition Information
- ------------------------------
On June 24, 2004, Timberland announced an agreement to acquire seven branch
offices and related deposits in three Western Washington counties from Venture
Bank. Timberland will acquire approximately $91 million in deposits, which
represents a 30% increase in its deposit base. In addition, Timberland will
acquire real estate, branch infrastructure, and employees for seven offices in
Toledo, Winlock, Elma, Montesano, Hoquiam, Aberdeen and Panorama City. "This
acquisition complements our branching strategy and is a very good fit for us,
adding additional in-market branches, a solid customer base, productive
employees and stable low-cost deposits," said Michael R. Sand, President and
CEO. "The branch locations offer an ideal mix of in-market offices and new
territory. Five of the branches are located within our existing geographic
footprint and show solid prospects for generating operating synergies with our
current system. The two branches in Toledo and Winlock allow us to expand into
Lewis County. Entering this new market reflects our commitment to the continued
growth of our community banking philosophy, where decisions are made locally,
and community involvement is encouraged."

Of the approximately $91 million in acquired deposits, 53% are in N.O.W.
checking, savings, and money market accounts, 17% are non-interest-bearing
deposits and 30% are time certificates. "The mix of deposits is expected to
reduce our cost of funds and increase core deposits," said Dean J. Brydon, Chief
Financial Officer. "As we deploy deposits into loans in the communities we
serve, we anticipate this transaction will contribute to our net interest margin
and earnings. We believe the acquisition will be accretive within one year
following full integration of the new branches into our system. This
acquisition, which is the first we have done since going public in 1998, brings
solid potential to generate long-term earnings growth and also complements our
efforts to enhance shareholder value."

The transaction is scheduled to close in October 2004 and is subject to
regulatory approval. The Company estimates that it will incur
transaction-related expenses of approximately $300,000 ($198,000 after income
tax). These costs will be expensed during the next two quarters.

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.

An analysis of liquidity should also include a review of the changes that appear
in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended
June 30, 2004. 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, other borrowings and stock related
transactions.

21


The Company's consolidated total of cash and due from financial institutions
and interest bearing deposits in banks decreased by $23.9 million to $14.2
million at June 30, 2004 from $38.1 million at September 30, 2003. The
Company's liquid assets decreased primarily due to the repurchase of shares of
Timberland Bancorp, Inc., the funding of loan portfolio growth, and the
repayment of FHLB advances.

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, 2004, 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 19.8%. The Bank also maintained an
uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB-Seattle that provided for immediately
available advances up to an aggregate amount of $89.1 million, under which $56.0
million was outstanding at June 30, 2004.

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.

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, 2004, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $30.3 million
and undisbursed loans in process totaling $27.6 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, 2004 totaled $87.9 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to
retain a significant amount of its certificates of deposit as they mature.

Federally-insured state-chartered banks are required to maintain minimum levels
of regulatory capital. Under current FDIC regulations, insured state-chartered
banks generally must maintain (i) a ratio of Tier 1 leverage capital to total
assets of at least 3.0% (4.0% to 5.0% for all but the most highly rated banks),
(ii) a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of at least 4.0% and
(iii) a ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of at least 8.0%. At
June 30, 2004, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital
requirements. For additional details see "Regulatory Capital".

information provided in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended

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 Section 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "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
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are
effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and
communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
forms.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls: In the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the
Company did not make any significant changes in, nor take any corrective actions
regarding, its internal controls or other factors that could significantly
affect these controls. A number of internal control procedures were, however,
modified during the quarter in conjunction with the Bank's conversion to a new
core processing system in August 2003. The Company also continued to implement
suggestions from its internal auditor and independent auditor on ways to
strengthen existing controls.
