Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(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 (“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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2015 (“2015 Form 10-K”). The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2016.

(b) Principles of Consolidation: The unaudited 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 Corporation. All significant intercompany 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 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 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, 2016 presentation with no change to net income or total shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

(2) INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Held to maturity and available for sale investment securities have been classified according to management’s intent and were as follows as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

The Company has evaluated these securities and has determined that the decline in their value is temporary. The unrealized losses are primarily due to changes in market interest rates and spreads in the market for mortgage-related products. The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity dates and/or as the pricing spreads narrow on mortgage-related securities. The Company has the ability and the intent to hold the investments until the market value recovers. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2016, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale where the estimated fair value is below the recorded value and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell such securities before a recovery of cost or recorded value if previously written down.

In accordance with GAAP, the Company bifurcates OTTI into (1) amounts related to credit losses which are recognized through earnings and (2) 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 the OTTI security to the present value of its revised expected cash flows, discounted using its pre-impairment yield. The revised expected cash flow estimates for individual securities are based primarily on an analysis of default rates, prepayment speeds and

third-party analytic reports. Significant judgment by management is required in this analysis that includes, but is not limited to, assumptions regarding the collectability of principal and interest, net of related expenses, on the underlying loans.

The following table presents a summary of the significant inputs utilized to measure management’s estimate of the credit loss component on OTTI securities as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015:



	Range				Weighted
	Minimum		Maximum		Average
March 31, 2016
Constant prepayment rate	6.00	%	15.00	%	9.16	%
Collateral default rate	0.24	%	17.64	%	5.70	%

(3) GOODWILL

Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite useful life and is analyzed annually for impairment. The Company performs an annual review during the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired.

The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. Step one estimates the fair value of the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of the Company's sole reporting unit, the Bank, under step one exceeds the recorded value of the reporting unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and no further analysis is necessary. If the estimated fair value of the Company's sole reporting unit is less than the recorded value, then a step two test, which calculates the fair value of assets and liabilities to calculate an implied value of goodwill, is performed.

The Company performed its fiscal year 2015 goodwill impairment test during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 with the assistance of an independent third-party firm specializing in goodwill impairment valuations for financial institutions. The third-party analysis was conducted as of May 31, 2015 and the step one test concluded that the reporting unit's fair value was more than its recorded value and, therefore, step two of the analysis was not necessary. Accordingly, the recorded value of goodwill as of May 31, 2015 was not impaired.

Step one of the goodwill impairment test estimates the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing a discounted cash flow income approach analysis, a public company market approach analysis, a merger and acquisition market approach analysis and a trading price market approach analysis in order to derive an enterprise value for the Company.

The discounted cash flow income approach analysis uses a reporting unit's projection of estimated operating results and cash flows and discounts them 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 loan growth rate that ranged from 3.00% to 3.60%, an annual deposit growth rate that ranged from 2.20% to 3.20% and a return on assets that ranged from 0.80% to 1.00%. 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 12.2% and the residual capitalization rate of 9.2%. The discount rate used was the cost of equity capital. The cost of equity capital was based on the capital asset pricing model ("CAPM"), modified to account for a small stock premium. The small stock premium represents the additional return required by investors for small stocks based on the 2015 Valuation Handbook - Guide to Cost of Capital. Beyond the approximate five-year forecast period, residual free cash flows were estimated to increase at a constant rate into perpetuity. These cash flows were converted to a residual value using an appropriate residual capitalization rate. The residual capitalization rate was equal to the discount rate minus the expected long-term growth rate of cash flows. Based on historical results, the economic climate, the outlook for the industry and management's expectations, a long-term growth rate of 3.0% was estimated.

The public company market approach analysis estimates the fair value by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit's operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with operating and investment characteristics similar to those of the Company. Key assumptions used by the Company included the selection of comparable public companies and performance ratios. In applying the public company analysis, the Company selected nine publicly traded institutions based on similar lines of business, markets, growth prospects, risks and firm size. The performance ratios included price to earnings (last twelve months), price to earnings (current year to date), price to book value, price to tangible book value and price to deposits.

The merger and acquisition market approach analysis estimates the fair value by using merger and acquisition transactions involving companies that are similar in nature to the Company. Key assumptions used by the Company included the selection of comparable merger and acquisition transactions and the valuation ratios to be used. The analysis used banks located in Washington or Oregon that were acquired after January 1, 2013. The valuation ratios from these transactions for price to earnings and price to tangible book value were then used to derive an estimated fair value of the Company.

The trading price market approach analysis used the closing market price at May 29, 2015 of the Company's common stock, traded on the NASDAQ Global Market to determine the market value of total equity capital.

A key assumption used by the Company in the public company market approach analysis and the trading price market approach analysis was the application of a control premium. The Company's common stock is thinly traded and, therefore, management believes reflects a discount for illiquidity. In addition, the trading price of the Company's common stock reflects a minority interest value. To determine the fair market value of a majority interest in the Company's stock, premiums were calculated and applied to the indicated values. Therefore, a control premium was applied to the results of the discounted cash flow income approach analysis, the public company market approach analysis and the trading price market approach analysis because the initial value conclusion was based on minority interest transactions. Merger and acquisition studies were analyzed to conclude that the difference between the acquisition price and a company's stock price prior to acquisition indicates, in part, the price effect of a controlling interest. Based on the evaluation of mergers and acquisition studies, a control premium of 25% was used.

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 and discount rate applied to projected cash flows. 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.

As of March 31, 2016, management believed that there had been no events or changes in the circumstances since May 31, 2015 that would indicate a potential impairment of goodwill. 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. At March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, there were no loans classified as loss.

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when (based on current information and events) it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments when 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 the 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 identical. 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.

(1) For the year ended September 30, 2015.

A troubled debt restructured loan is a loan for which the Company, for reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a significant concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider. Examples of such concessions 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 rates; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or re-amorizations, extensions, deferrals and renewals. Troubled debt restructured loans are considered impaired 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 their modified terms for a period of at least six months. The Company had $8.46 million and $13.72 million in troubled debt restructured loans included in impaired loans at March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively, and had no commitments at these dates to lend additional funds on these loans. The allowance for loan losses allocated to troubled debt restructured loans at March 31, 2016

and September 30, 2015 was $525,000 and $310,000, respectively. There were no troubled debt restructured loans which incurred a payment default within 12 months of the restructure date during the six months ended March 31, 2016.

The following tables set forth information with respect to the Company’s troubled debt restructured loans by interest accrual status as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

(5) NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income 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 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. 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, 2016 and 2015, there were 114,588 and 152,869 shares, respectively, that had not been allocated under the Bank’s ESOP.

Information regarding the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

____________________________________________

(1) For the three and six months ended March 31, 2016, average options to purchase 14,000 and 84,383 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For both the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, average options to purchase 122,000 shares of common stock were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

(2) Represents a 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 "Warrant"). The Warrant was granted on December 23, 2008 to the U.S. Treasury Department ("Treasury") as part of the Company's participation in the Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP"). On June 12, 2013, the Treasury sold the Warrant to private investors.

Stock Compensation Plans

Under the Company’s prior stock compensation plans (1999 Stock Option Plan, 2003 Stock Option Plan and 1998 Management Recognition and Development Plan ("MRDP")), the Company was able to grant options and awards for restricted stock for up to a combined total of 2,151,500 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and directors emeriti. Under the Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by shareholders on January 27, 2015, the Company is able to grant options and awards of restricted stock (with or without performance measures) for up to 352,366 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and directors emeriti. 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 value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Generally, options and restricted stock vest in 20% annual installments on each of the five anniversaries from the date of the grant. At March 31, 2016, there were 226,866 shares of common stock available which may be awarded as options or restricted stock pursuant to future grant under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. At March 31, 2016, there were no options or awards for restricted stock available for future grant under the 1999 Stock Option Plan, the 2003 Stock Option Plan, or the MRDP. At March 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no unvested restricted stock grant shares.

(8) 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, 2016 and September 30, 2015. 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.

GAAP defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is the 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 three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under GAAP's fair value measurement requirements are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities 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's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of investment securities available for sale. The estimated fair value of MBS are based upon market prices of similar securities or observable inputs (Level 2). The estimated fair value of mutual funds are based upon quoted market prices (Level 1).

The Company had no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015. The Company's assets measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

There were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the six months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended September 30, 2015.

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and 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 non-recurring basis:

Impaired Loans: The estimated fair value of impaired loans is calculated using the collateral value method or on a discounted cash flow basis. The specific reserve for collateral dependent impaired loans is based on the estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, if applicable. In some cases, adjustments are made to the appraised values due to various factors including age of the appraisal, age of comparable collateral 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 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Investment Securities Held to Maturity: The estimated fair value of investment securities held to maturity is based upon the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the investment 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 is 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 are based on standard market factors. The valuation of OREO and other repossessed assets is subject to significant external and internal judgment (Level 3).

The following table summarizes the balances of assets measured at estimated fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

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.

Investment Securities: See descriptions above.

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, par value is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans Receivable, Net: The fair value of non-impaired loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers for the same remaining maturities. Prepayments are based on the historical experience of the Bank. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using the methods described above.

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

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 deemed to be 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.

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

The estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows as of March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015 (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 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.

(9) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), with an effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, the ASU requires companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract and estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price related to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20). The ASU eliminates the need to separately classify, present and disclose extraordinary events. The disclosure of events or transactions that are unusual or infrequent in nature will be included in other guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. This ASU requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this ASU require that the acquirer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in the current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-16 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The main provisions of this ASU address the valuation and impairment of certain equity investments along with simplified disclosures about those investments. Equity securities with readily determinable fair values will be treated in the same manner as other financial instruments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The principal change required by this ASU relates to lessee accounting, and is that for operating leases, a lessee is required to (1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in the statement of financial position, (2) recognize a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis, and (3) classify all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This ASU also changes disclosure requirements related to leasing activities, and requires certain qualitative disclosures along with specific quantitative disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of the amendments in this ASU is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 is being reviewed for any material impact there may be on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. This ASU includes provisions intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 is being reviewed for any material impact there may be on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

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

As used in this Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “our” and “Company” refer to Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements discussed in this document might not occur and we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These risks could cause our actual results for fiscal 2016 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of us, and could negatively affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations as well as its stock price performance.

Overview

Timberland Bancorp, Inc., a Washington corporation, is the holding company for Timberland Bank. The Bank opened for business in 1915 and serves consumers and businesses across Grays Harbor, Thurston, Pierce, King, Kitsap and Lewis counties, Washington with a full range of lending and deposit services through its 22 branches (including its main office in Hoquiam). At March 31, 2016, the Company had total assets of $851.96 million and total shareholders’ equity of $92.26 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 allowance for loan losses reflects the amount that the Company believes is adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent 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, 2016, non-interest income consisted primarily of service charges on deposit accounts, gain on sales of loans, ATM and debit card interchange transaction fees, an increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI and other operating income. Non-interest income is reduced by net OTTI losses on investment securities and losses on the sale of investment securities. Non-interest expenses consisted primarily of salaries and employee benefits, premises and equipment, advertising, ATM and debit card interchange transaction fees, OREO and other repossessed asset expenses, postage and courier expenses, state and local taxes, professional fees, FDIC insurance premiums, loan administration and foreclosure expenses, deposit operation expenses and data processing and telecommunication expenses. Non-interest income and non-interest expenses are affected by the growth of the Company's operations and growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts.

Results of operations may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

The Bank is a community-oriented bank which has traditionally offered a variety of savings products to its retail customers while concentrating its lending activities on real estate mortgage loans. Lending activities have been focused primarily on the origination of loans secured by real estate, including residential construction loans, one- to four-family residential loans, multi-

family loans and commercial real estate 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 and other consumer 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 Consolidated Financial Statements. Critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in the Company’s 2015 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 been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in the Company’s 2015 Form 10-K.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015

The Company’s total assets increased by $36.15 million, or 4.4%, to $851.96 million at March 31, 2016 from $815.82 million at September 30, 2015. The increase in total assets was primarily due to increases in net loans receivable, cash and cash equivalents and CDs held for investment. The increase in total assets was funded primarily by an increase in total deposits.

Net loans receivable increased by $18.57 million, or 3.1%, to $622.85 million at March 31, 2016 from $604.28 million at September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to increases in commercial business loans, construction loans and consumer loans. These increases to net loans receivable were partially offset by decreases in multi-family loans and land loans.

Total deposits increased by $33.13 million, or 4.9%, to $712.04 million at March 31, 2016 from $678.91 million at September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily a result of increases in money market, non-interest bearing, N.O.W. checking and savings account balances, which were partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit account balances.

Shareholders’ equity increased by $3.08 million, or 3.4%, to $92.26 million at March 31, 2016 from $89.19 million at September 30, 2015. The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily due to net income for the six months ended March 31, 2016, which was partially offset by the payment of dividends to common shareholders and the repurchase of common stock.

A more detailed explanation of the changes in significant balance sheet categories follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents and CDs Held for Investment: Cash and cash equivalents and CDs held for investment increased by $21.65 million, or 15.4%, to $162.55 million at March 31, 2016 from $140.90 million at September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a $17.7 million, or 19.2%, increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $3.90 million, or 8.0%, increase in CDs held for investment.

Investment Securities: Investment securities decreased by $197,000, or 2.1%, to $9.11 million at March 31, 2016 from $9.31 million at September 30, 2015, primarily due to scheduled amortization and prepayments. For additional information on investment securities, see Note 2 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in “Item 1, Financial Statements.”

FHLB Stock: FHLB stock increased $105,000, or 3.9%, to $2.80 million at March 31, 2016 from $2.70 million at September 30, 2015, as the Bank's stock requirement with the FHLB was increased due to an increase in the Bank's asset size.

Loans: Net loans receivable increased by $18.57 million, or 3.1%, to $622.85 million at March 31, 2016 from $604.28 million at September 30, 2015. The increase in the portfolio was primarily a result of a $9.60 million increase in commercial business loans, an $8.34 million increase in construction loans (primarily one- to four-family custom and owner/builder loans and commercial construction loans) and a $2.70 million increase in consumer loans. In addition, there was an $8.99 million decrease in the undisbursed portion of construction loans in process. These increases in net loans receivable were partially offset by a $9.66 million decrease in multi-family loans and a $1.81 million decrease in land loans.

Loan originations increased $7.78 million, or 7.4%, to $113.33 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from $105.55 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015. The Company continued to sell longer-term fixed rate one- to four-family mortgage loans for asset liability management purposes and to generate non-interest income. Sales of fixed rate one- to four-family mortgage loans increased $5.63 million, or 26.9%, to $26.56 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $20.93 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015 as more one- to four-family construction loans were completed, converted to permanent financing and then were sold in the secondary market.

Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment decreased by $499,000, or 3.0%, to $16.36 million at March 31, 2016 from $16.85 million at September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to normal depreciation.

OREO (Other Real Estate Owned): OREO and other repossessed assets decreased by $2.40 million, or 30.5%, to $5.46 million at March 31, 2016 from $7.85 million at September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the disposition of eight OREO properties. At March 31, 2016, total OREO and other repossessed assets consisted of 27 individual properties and one other repossessed asset. The properties consisted of 18 land parcels totaling $3.30 million, two commercial real estate properties totaling $446,000, seven single-family homes totaling $1.65 million and one mobile home with a book value of $67,000.

Goodwill: The recorded amount of goodwill of $5.65 million at March 31, 2016 was unchanged from September 30, 2015.

Deposits: Deposits increased by $33.13 million, or 4.9%, to $712.04 million at March 31, 2016 from $678.91 million at September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily a result of a $16.02 million increase in money market accounts, a $7.59 million increase in non-interest bearing accounts, a $7.48 million increase in N.O.W. checking accounts and a $5.15 million increase in savings accounts. These increases were partially offset by a $3.11 million decrease in certificates of deposit accounts.

Deposits consisted of the following at March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands):

FHLB Advances: The Company has short- and long-term borrowing lines with the FHLB with total credit available on the lines equal to 35% 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, 2016, FHLB advances and other borrowings consisted of long-term FHLB advances with scheduled maturities at various dates in fiscal 2017, which 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 both March 31, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

Shareholders’ Equity: Total shareholders’ equity increased by $3.08 million, or 3.4%, to $92.26 million at March 31, 2016 from $89.19 million at September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to net income of $4.91 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016, which was partially offset by the payment of $1.40 million in dividends on the Company's common stock and the repurchase of 66,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $820,000 (an average price of $12.42 per share). At March 31, 2016, there were 221,893 shares remaining to be repurchased under the Company's existing stock repurchase plan. For additional information, see Item 2 of Part II of this Form 10-Q.

Asset Quality: The non-performing assets to total assets ratio improved to 1.16% at March 31, 2016 from 1.84% at September 30, 2015 as total non-performing assets decreased by $5.13 million, or 34.2%, to $9.85 million at March 31, 2016 from $14.98 million at September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.40 million decrease in OREO and other repossessed assets, a $1.11 million decrease in non-accrual land loans and a $1.00 million decrease in non-accrual one- to four-family loans.

Troubled debt restructured loans on accrual status (which are not included in the non-performing asset totals) decreased by $4.56 million, or 36.5%, to $7.92 million at March 31, 2016 from $12.49 million at September 30, 2015.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

Net income increased by $929,000, or 64.0%, to $2.38 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $1.45 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Net income per diluted common share increased $0.13, or 61.9%, to $0.34 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $0.21 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The increase in net income was primarily due to increases in net interest income and non-interest income.

Net income increased by $1.73 million, or 54.4%, to $4.91 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from $3.18 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015. Net income per diluted common share increased $0.24, or 53.3%, to $0.69 for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from $0.45 for the six months ended March 31, 2015.

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

Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased by $1.10 million, or 16.8%, to $7.67 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $6.57 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The net interest margin increased to 3.92% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from 3.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to an increased yield on interest-bearing assets and an increased amount of pre-payment penalties and non-accrual interest collected.

Total interest and dividend income increased by $1.12 million, or 14.9%, to $8.65 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $7.53 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to a $71.16 million increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing assets to $783.28 million from $712.12 million, and a $237,000 increase in the amount of pre-payment penalties and non-accrual interest collected. Net interest income was increased during the current quarter by the collection of $193,000 in pre-payment penalties on four loans that paid off (compared to $2,000 collected for the comparable quarter one year ago) and the collection of $46,000 of non-accrual interest. The collection of pre-payment penalties and non-accrual interest added approximately 12 basis points to the net interest margin for the current quarter. The average yield on interest-bearing assets increased to 4.42% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from 4.23% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. Total interest expense increased by $19,000, or 2.0%, to $979,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $960,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, as the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $32.55 million to $598.99 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $566.44 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.66% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from 0.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Net interest income increased by $2.11 million, or 15.9% , to $15.38 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from $13.27 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015. The net interest margin for the six months ended March 31, 2016 increased to 3.96% from 3.78% for the six months ended March 31, 2015.

Total interest and dividend income increased by $2.13 million, or 14.0%, to $17.34 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from $15.21 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to a $75.52 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing assets to $777.18 million from $701.66 million, and a $558,000 increase in the amount of non-accrual interest and pre-payment penalties collected. During the six months ended March 31, 2016 a total of $720,000 in non-accrual interest and pre-payment penalties were collected compared to a total of $162,000 collected during the six months ended March 31, 2015. Total interest expense increased by $16,000, or 0.8%, to $1.96 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from $1.94 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015 as the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $35.72 million to $596.08 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from $560.36 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.66% for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from 0.70% for the six months ended March 31, 2015.

Provision for Loan Losses: There was no provision for loan losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, as improved credit quality measures have been sufficient to cover reserves for changes in the mix of loans. Non-accrual loans decreased 44% to $3.39 million at March 31, 2016, from $6.04 million at September 30, 2015 and decreased 69% from $10.92 million at March 31, 2015. Total delinquent loans (past due 30 days or more) and non-accrual loans decreased 49% to $3.67 million at March 31, 2016, from $7.17 million at September 30, 2015 and decreased 70% from $12.24 million one year ago. There was a net recovery for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 of $154,000 compared to a net recovery of $60,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

There was no provision for loan losses for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Net recoveries for the six months ended March 31, 2016 were $119,000 compared to a net charge-off of $45,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2015.

The Company has established a comprehensive methodology for determining the allowance 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, historical 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 $10.04 million at March 31, 2016 (1.59% of loans receivable and 285% of non-performing loans) was adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio 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, 2016 was

$864,000 compared to $2.68 million at March 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses was $10.38 million (1.75% of loans receivable and 95% of non-performing loans) at March 31, 2015.

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 consolidated financial condition and results of operations. For additional information, see Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in “Item 1, Financial Statements.”

Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income increased by $299,000, or 13.5%, to $2.51 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $2.21 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to an $85,000 increase in service charges on deposits, a $67,000 increase in ATM and debit card interchange transaction fees, a $67,000 improvement in servicing income on loans sold and smaller increases several other categories. The increase in service charges on deposits was primarily due to an increase in the amount of service charges collected on checking accounts owned by business associated with the marijuana (or Initiative-502) industry in Washington State. It is permissible in Washington state to handle accounts associated with this industry. The increase in ATM and debit card interchange transaction fees was primarily due to an increase in debit card transactions. The increase in servicing income on loans sold was primarily due to a decrease in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights, which offsets the servicing income received.

Total non-interest income increased by $693,000, or 16.0% , to $5.03 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from $4.34 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a $203,000 increase in gain on sales of loans, a $172,000 increase in service charges on deposits, a $160,000 improvement in servicing income on loans sold, a $136,000 increase in ATM and debit card interchange transaction fees and smaller increases in several other categories. The increase in gain on sale of loans was primarily due to an increase in the dollar volume of fixed-rate one-to four-family loans sold during the current period.

Non-interest Expense: Total non-interest expense decreased by $25,000, or 0.4%, to $6.63 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $6.65 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The decreased expense was primarily due to a $154,000 decrease in OREO and other repossessed assets expense, a $106,000 decrease in professional fees expense and smaller decreases in other expense categories. These decreases were partially offset by a $182,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, a $76,000 increase in ATM and debit card processing expense and smaller increases in other expense categories. The decrease in OREO and other repossessed assets expense was primarily due to a decrease in the level of fair value write-downs on properties. The decrease in professional fees was primarily due to a decrease in legal and consulting fees. The decrease in legal fees was in part due to the recovery of expenses associated with several non-accrual loans that were paid off. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily due to annual salary adjustments and the hiring of additional lending personnel. The increase in ATM and debit card processing expense was primarily due to an increase in debit card transactions and an increase in debit card fraud-related expenses.

Total non-interest expense increased $179,000, or 1.4%, to $13.11 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from $12.93 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015. The increased expense was primarily due to a $256,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and smaller increases in other expense categories. These increases were partially offset by a $152,000 decrease in professional fees expense and smaller decreases in other expense categories.

Provision for Federal Income Taxes: The provision for federal income taxes increased by $499,000, or 73.8%, to $1.18 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 from $676,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, primarily as a result of increased income before federal income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 33.05% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and 31.78% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

The provision for federal income taxes increased by $896,000, or 59.7%, to $2.40 million for the six months ended March 31, 2016 from $1.50 million for the six months ended March 31, 2015, primarily as a result of increased income before federal income taxes. The Company's effective tax rate was 32.81% for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 32.08% for the six months ended March 31, 2015.

Liquidity

The Company’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, 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, 2016, 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 22.79%.

The Company’s total cash and cash equivalents and CDs held for investment increased by $21.65 million, or 15.4%, to $162.55 million at March 31, 2016 from $140.90 million at September 30, 2015. If the Bank requires funds that exceed its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco ("FRB") and Pacific Coast Bankers' Bank ("PCBB"). At March 31, 2016, the Bank maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate amount equal to 35% of total assets, limited by available collateral. The Bank also has a Letter of Credit ("LOC") of up to $22.0 million with the FHLB for the purpose of collateralizing Washington State public deposits. Any amount pledged for public deposit under the LOC reduces the Bank's available borrowing amount under the FHLB advance agreement. At March 31, 2016, the Bank had $45.00 million in FHLB advances outstanding and $22.00 million pledged under the LOC, which left $199.34 million available for additional borrowings. The Bank maintains a short-term borrowing line with the FRB with available total credit based on eligible collateral. At March 31, 2016, the Bank had $45.04 million available for borrowings with the FRB and there was no outstanding balance on this borrowing line. The Bank also maintains a $10.00 million overnight borrowing line with PCBB. At March 31, 2016, the Bank did not have an 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, 2016, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $57.50 million and undisbursed construction loans in process totaling $44.47 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, 2016 totaled $90.94 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its non-brokered CDs as they mature. At March 31, 2016, the Bank had $3.20 million in brokered CDs.

Capital Resources

The Bank, as a state-chartered, federally insured savings bank, is subject to the capital requirements established by the FDIC. Under the FDIC's capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors.

Based on its capital levels at March 31, 2016, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements as of that date. Consistent with the Bank's goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, it is the Bank's policy to maintain a "well-capitalized" status under the regulatory capital categories of the FDIC. Based on capital levels at March 31, 2016, the Bank was considered to be "well-capitalized" under applicable regulatory requirements. Management monitors the capital levels to provide for current and future business opportunities and to maintain the Bank's "well-capitalized" status.

The following table compares the Bank’s actual capital amounts at March 31, 2016 to its minimum regulatory capital requirements at that date (dollars in thousands):



	Actual				Regulatory Minimum To Be “Adequately Capitalized”				To Be “Well Capitalized” Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio

Leverage Capital Ratio:
Tier 1 capital		$85,747	10.26	%		$33,419	4.00	%		$41,773	5.00	%

Risk-based Capital Ratios:
Common equity tier 1 capital	85,747		13.80	%	27,971		4.50		40,402		6.50

Tier 1 capital	85,747		13.80		37,294		6.00		49,726		8.00

Total capital	93,547		15.05		49,726		8.00		62,157		10.00

In addition to the minimum common equity Tier 1 ("CET1"), Tier 1 and total capital ratios, the Bank will have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of retained income that could be utilized for such actions. The new capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented in January 2019.

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. For a bank holding company with less than $1.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary bank to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If Timberland Bancorp, Inc. were subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $1.0 billion or more in assets, at March 31, 2016, Timberland Bancorp, Inc. would have exceeded all regulatory requirements.

The following table presents the regulatory capital ratios for Timberland Bancorp, Inc. as of March 31, 2016 (dollars in thousands):



	Actual
	Amount		Ratio

Leverage Capital Ratio:
Tier 1 capital		$88,335	10.56	%

Tier 1 capital	88,335		14.21

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, 2015.

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, 2016 the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b)

Changes in Internal Controls: There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, 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.
