Timberland Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
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 ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with instructions
for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a
complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash
flows in conformity with GAAP.  However, all adjustments which are in the
opinion of management necessary for a fair presentation of the interim
condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.  All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010 ("2010 Form 10-K").
The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2010 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 the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Timberland Bank ("Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary,
Timberland Service Corp.   All significant inter-company balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.

(c)  Operating Segment:  The Company has one reportable operating segment
which is defined as community banking in western Washington under the
operating name, "Timberland Bank."

(d)  The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e)  Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
December 31, 2010 presentation with no change to net income (loss) or total
shareholders' equity previously reported.


(2) REGULATORY MATTERS

In December 2009, the FDIC and the Washington State Department of Financial
Institutions, Division of Banks ("Division") determined that the Bank required
supervisory attention and, on December 29, 2009, entered into an agreement on
a Memorandum of Understanding with the Bank ("Bank MOU").  Under the Bank MOU,
the Bank must among other things, maintain Tier 1 Capital of not less than
10.0% of the Bank's adjusted total assets and maintain capital ratios above
the "well capitalized" thresholds as defined under FDIC Rules and Regulations;
obtain the prior consent from the FDIC and the Division prior to the Bank
declaring a dividend to its holding company; and not engage in any
transactions that would materially change the Bank's balance sheet composition
including growth in total assets of five percent or more or significant
changes in funding sources without the prior non-objection of the FDIC.

In addition, on February 1, 2010, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
("FRB") determined that the Company required additional supervisory attention
and entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Company ("Company
MOU").  Under the Company MOU, the Company must, among other things, obtain
prior written approval or non-objection from the FRB to declare or pay any
dividends, or make any other capital distributions; issue any trust preferred
securities; or purchase or redeem any of its stock. The FRB has denied

                                       10





the Company's requests to pay dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock issued
under the U.S. Treasury Department's Capital Purchase Program ("CPP") for
payments due May 15, 2010, August 15, 2010 and November 15, 2010.   For
additional information on the CPP, see Note 3 below entitled "U.S Treasury
Department's Capital Purchase Program."


(3) U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT'S CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM

On December 23, 2008, the Company received $16.64 million from the U.S.
Treasury Department ("Treasury") as a part of the Treasury's CPP.  The CPP was
established as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP").  The
Company sold 16,641 shares of senior preferred stock with a related warrant to
purchase 370,899 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $6.73 per
share at any time through December 23, 2018.  The preferred stock pays a 5.0%
dividend for the first five years, after which the rate increases to 9.0% if
the preferred shares are not redeemed by the Company.

Preferred stock is initially recorded at the amount of proceeds received.  Any
discount from the liquidation value is accreted to the expected call date and
charged to retained earnings.  This accretion is recorded using the
level-yield method.  Preferred dividends paid (or accrued) and any accretion
is deducted from (added to) net income (loss) for computing income available
(loss) to common shareholders and net income (loss) per share computations.

Under the Company MOU, the Company must, among other things, obtain prior
written approval, or non-objection from the FRB to declare or pay any
dividends.  The FRB has denied the Company's requests to pay dividends on its
Series A Preferred Stock issued under the CPP for payments due May 15, 2010,
August 15, 2010 and November 15, 2010.  There can be no assurances that the
FRB will approve such payments or dividends in the future.   The Company may
not declare or pay dividends on its common stock or, with certain exceptions,
repurchase common stock without first having paid all cumulative preferred
dividends that are due.  If dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are not
paid for six quarters, whether or not consecutive, the Treasury has the right
to appoint two members to the Company's Board of Directors.

During the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded
net OTTI charges through earnings on residential MBS of $136,000 and $288,000,
respectively.  Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting
guidance in accordance with GAAP, which provides for the bifurcation of OTTI
into (i) amounts related to credit losses which are recognized through
earnings, and (ii) amounts related to all other factors which are recognized
as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).

To determine the component of the gross OTTI related to credit losses, the
Company compared the amortized cost basis of each OTTI security to the present
value of its revised expected cash flows, discounted using its pre-impairment
yield.  The revised expected cash flow estimates for individual securities are
based primarily on an analysis of default rates, prepayment speeds and
third-party analytic reports.  Significant judgment by management is required
in this analysis that includes, but is not limited to, assumptions regarding
the collectability of principal and interest, net of related expenses, on the
underlying loans.  The following table presents a summary of the significant
inputs utilized to measure management's estimate of the credit loss component
on OTTI securities as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010:

(5) FHLB STOCK

The Company views its investment in the FHLB stock as a long-term investment.
Accordingly, when evaluating for impairment, the value is determined based on
the ultimate recovery of the par value rather than recognizing temporary
declines in value.  The determination of whether a decline affects the
ultimate recovery is influenced by criteria such as: 1) the significance of
the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount
and length of time a decline has persisted; 2) the impact of legislative and
regulatory changes on the FHLB and 3) the liquidity position of the FHLB.  As
of September 30, 2010, the Seattle FHLB reported that it had met all of its
regulatory capital requirements, but remained classified as undercapitalized
by its regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA").  On October 25,
2010, the FHLB announced that it had entered into a Consent Agreement with
FHFA, which requires the FHLB to take certain specific actions related to its
business and operations.  The FHLB will not pay a dividend or repurchase
capital stock while it is classified as undercapitalized.  While the FHLB was
classified as undercapitalized as of September 30, 2010, the Company does not
believe that its investment in the FHLB is impaired.  However, this estimate
could change in the near term if: 1) significant other-than-temporary losses
are incurred on the FHLB's MBS causing a significant decline in its regulatory
capital status; 2) the economic losses resulting from credit deterioration on
the FHLB's MBS increases significantly or 3) capital preservation strategies
being utilized by the FHLB become ineffective.

Impaired Loans
--------------
A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the Company will be
unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in
accordance with the original or modified terms of the loan agreement.
Impaired loans are measured based on the estimated fair value of the
collateral less estimated cost to sell if the loan is considered collateral
dependent.  Impaired loans not considered to be collateral dependent are
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows.

The categories of non-accrual loans and impaired loans overlap, although they
are not coextensive.  The Company considers all circumstances regarding the
loan and borrower on an individual basis when determining whether an impaired
loan should be placed on non-accrual status, such as the financial strength of
the borrower, the estimated collateral value, reasons for the delay, payment
record, the amount past due and the number of days past due.

At December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, the Company had impaired loans
totaling $40.64 million and $42.25 million respectively.  At December 31,
2010, the Company had loans totaling $305,000 that were 90 days or more past
due and still accruing interest.  At September 30, 2010, the Company had loans
totaling $1.33 million that were 90 days or more past due and still accruing
interest.  Interest income recognized on impaired loans for the three months
ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $322,000 and $236,000,
respectively.   Interest income recognized on a cash basis on impaired loans
for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, was
$246,000 and $129,000, respectively.  The average investment in impaired loans
for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $41.44
million and $45.03 million, respectively.  The Company had $15.60 million in
troubled debt restructured loans included in impaired loans at December 31,
2010 and had $1.05 million in commitments to lend additional funds on these
loans.  The Company had $16.40 million in troubled debt restructured loans
included in impaired loans at September 30, 2010 and had $1.06 million in
commitments to lend additional funds on these loans.

(7) NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items.
Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
and common stock equivalents for items that are dilutive, net of shares
assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock method at the average share
price for the Company's common stock during the period.  Diluted loss per
common share is the same as basic loss per common share due to the
anti-dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.  Common stock equivalents
arise from the assumed conversion of outstanding stock options and the
outstanding warrant to purchase common stock.  In accordance with the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance for stock compensation,
shares owned by the Bank's ESOP that have not been allocated are not
considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing net income (loss)
per share.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were 299,786 and 331,094
shares, respectively, that had not been allocated under the Bank's ESOP.

options to purchase 194,864 and 187,799 shares of common stock, respectively,
were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income
(loss) per common share because the options' exercise prices were greater than
the average market price of the common stock, and, therefore, their effect
would have been anti-dilutive.
(2) For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, a
warrant to purchase 370,899 shares of common stock was outstanding but not
included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share
because the warrant's exercise prices was greater than the average market
price of the common stock, and, therefore, their effect would have been
anti-dilutive.

(8) STOCK PLANS AND STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Option Plans
------------------
Under the Company's stock option plans (the 1999 Stock Option Plan and the
2003 Stock Option Plan), the Company was able to grant options for up to a
combined total of 1,622,500 shares of common stock to employees, officers and
directors.  Shares issued may be purchased in the open market or may be issued
from authorized and unissued shares.  The exercise price of each option equals
the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.
Generally, options vest in 20% annual installments on each of the five
anniversaries from the date of the grant.  At December 31, 2010, options for
249,738 shares are available for future grant under the 2003 Stock Option Plan
and no shares are available for future grant under the 1999 Stock Option Plan.

Following is activity under the plans:

There was no aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at December 31,
2010, as the exercise price of all options outstanding was greater than the
stock's current market value.

At December 31, 2010, there were 20,800 unvested options with an aggregate
grant date fair value of $27,000, all of which the Company assumes will vest.
There was no aggregate intrinsic value of unvested options at December 31,
2010, as the exercise price was greater than the stock's current market value.
There were 5,200 options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $7,000
that vested during the three months ended December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2009, there were 26,000 unvested options with an aggregate
grant date fair value of $34,000, all of which the Company assumes will vest.
There were no options that vested during the three months ended December 31,
2009.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair
value of stock-based awards with the weighted average assumptions noted in the
following table.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury
rate of a similar term as the stock option at the particular grant date.  The
expected life is based on historical data, vesting terms and estimated
exercise dates.  The expected dividend yield is based on the most recent
quarterly dividend on an annualized basis in effect at the time the options
were granted.  The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of
the Company's stock price.  There were no options granted during the three
months ended December 31, 2010, and there were 26,000 options granted during
the three months ended December 31, 2009.  The weighted average assumptions
for options granted during the three months ended December 31, 2009 were:

                                      23





Expected volatility                       38%
Expected term (in years)                    5
Expected dividend yield                  2.64%
Risk free interest rate                  2.47%
Grant date fair value per share         $1.29

Stock Grant Plan
----------------
The Company adopted the Management Recognition and Development Plan ("MRDP")
in 1998 for the benefit of employees, officers and directors of the Company.
The objective of the MRDP is to retain and attract personnel of experience and
ability in key positions by providing them with a proprietary interest in the
Company.

The MRDP allowed for the issuance to participants of up to 529,000 shares of
the Company's common stock.  Awards under the MRDP are made in the form of
shares of common stock that are subject to restrictions on the transfer of
ownership and are subject to a five-year vesting period.  Compensation expense
is the amount of the fair value of the common stock at the date of the grant
to the plan participants and is recognized over a five-year vesting period,
with 20% vesting on each of the five anniversaries from the date of the grant.

There were no MRDP shares granted to officers and directors during the three
months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

At December 31, 2010, there were a total of 28,992 unvested MRDP shares with
an aggregated grant date fair value of $329,000.  There were 7,433 MRDP shares
that vested during the three months ended December 31, 2010 with an aggregated
grant date fair value of $81,000.  At December 31, 2010, there were no shares
available for future awards under the MRDP.

(9) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

GAAP requires disclosure of estimated fair values for financial instruments.
Such estimates are subjective in nature, and significant judgment is required
regarding the risk characteristics of various financial instruments at a
discrete point in time.  Therefore, such estimates could vary significantly if
assumptions regarding uncertain factors were to change.  In addition, as the
Company normally intends to hold the majority of its financial instruments
until maturity, it does not expect to realize many of the estimated amounts
disclosed.  The disclosures also do not include estimated fair value amounts
for 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
December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010.  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.
Major assumptions, methods and fair value estimates for the Company's
significant financial instruments are set forth below:

     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.

     MBS and Other Investments
     -------------------------
     The estimated fair value of MBS and other investments are based upon the
     assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security.  Such
     assumptions include observable and unobservable inputs such as quoted
     market prices, dealer quotes, or discounted cash flows.

     FHLB Stock
     ----------
     FHLB stock is not publicly traded; however, the recorded value of the
     stock holdings approximates the estimated fair value, as the FHLB is
     required to pay par value upon re-acquiring this stock.

     Loans Receivable, Net
     ---------------------
     At December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, because of the illiquid
     market for loan sales, loans were priced using comparable market
     statistics.  The loan portfolio was segregated into various categories
     and a weighted average valuation discount that approximated similar loan
     sales was applied to each category.

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

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

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

                                      25





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

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

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


The estimated fair value of financial instruments were as follows (in
thousands):

                                    December 31, 2010     September 30, 2010

-------------------
The Company assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate
levels will change) as a result of its normal operations.  As a result, the
estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments will change when
interest rate levels change and that change may either be favorable or
unfavorable to the Company.  Management attempts to match maturities of assets
and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate
risk.  However, borrowers with fixed interest rate obligations are less likely
to prepay in a rising interest rate environment and more likely to prepay in a
falling interest rate environment.  Conversely, depositors who are receiving
fixed interest rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a
rising interest rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling
interest rate environment.  Management monitors interest rates and maturities
of assets and liabilities, and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by
adjusting terms of new loans, and deposits and by investing in securities with
terms that mitigate the Company's overall interest rate risk.

Accounting guidance regarding fair value measurements defines fair value and
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP.
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
on the measurement date.  The following definitions describe the levels of
inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

                                      26





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

     Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included
     within Level 1, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, and
     inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be
     corroborated by observable market data.

     Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own
     assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in
     pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available in
     the circumstances.

The following table summarizes the balances of assets and liabilities measured
at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2010 (in

--------------------
(1) The loss represents charge offs on collateral dependent loans for
estimated fair value adjustments based on the estimated fair value of the
collateral.  A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current
information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect
all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The
specific reserve for collateral dependent impaired loans was based on the
estimated fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.  The
estimated fair value of collateral was determined based primarily on
appraisals.  In some cases, adjustments were made to the appraised values due
to various factors including age of the appraisal, age of comparables included
in the appraisal, and known changes in the market and in the collateral.  When
significant adjustments were based on unobservable inputs, the resulting
estimated fair value measurement has been categorized as Level 3 measurement.
(2) The loss represents OTTI credit-related charges on held-to-maturity MBS.
(3)The Company's OREO and other repossessed items is initially recorded at
estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.  This amount becomes the
property's new basis.  Estimated fair value was generally determined by
management based on a number of factors, including third-party appraisals of
estimated fair value in an orderly sale.  Estimated costs to sell were based
on standard market factors.  The valuation of OREO and other repossessed items
is subject to significant external and internal judgment.  Management
periodically reviews the

                                      27





recorded value to determine whether the property continues to be recorded at
the lower of its recorded book value or estimated fair value, net of estimated
costs to sell.


(10) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance on fair value measurements
and disclosures.  The new guidance requires expanded disclosures related to
fair value measurements including separate presentation of purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements
using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).  The new guidance will be
effective for the Company on October 1, 2011.  Since the new guidance is
disclosure related only, the Company does not expect it to have an impact on
its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance on disclosure requirements for
the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit
losses.  The new guidance requires entities to provide disclosures designed to
facilitate financial statement users' evaluation of (i) the nature of credit
risk inherent in the entity's portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how
that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit
losses and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance
for credit losses.  Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment,
the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for
determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing
receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment.  The
required disclosures include, among other things, a roll forward of the
allowance for credit losses, as well as information about modified, impaired,
non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators.  This guidance
became effective for the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements
as of December 31, 2010, as it relates to disclosures required as of the end
of a reporting period.  Disclosures that relate to activity during a reporting
period will be required for the Company's condensed consolidated financial
statements that include periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011.  Since
this new guidance is disclosure related only, the Company does not expect it
to have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Overview

Timberland Bancorp, Inc., a Washington corporation, is the holding company for
Timberland Bank.  The Bank opened for business in 1915 and serves consumers
and businesses across Grays Harbor, Thurston, Pierce, King, Kitsap and Lewis
counties, Washington with a full range of lending and deposit services through
its 22 branches (including its main office in Hoquiam).  At December 31, 2010,
the Company had total assets of $722.49 million and total shareholders' equity
of $86.56 million.  The Company's business activities generally are

                                       29





limited to passive investment activities and oversight of its investment in
the Bank.  Accordingly, the information set forth in this report relates
primarily to the Bank's operations.

The profitability of the Company's operations depends primarily on its net
interest income after provision for loan losses.  Net interest income is the
difference between interest income, which is the income that the Company earns
on interest-earning assets, comprised of primarily loans and investments, and
interest expense, the amount the Company pays on its interest-bearing
liabilities, which are primarily deposits and borrowings.  Net interest income
is affected by changes in the volume and mix of interest earning assets,
interest earned on those assets, the volume and mix of interest bearing
liabilities and interest paid on those interest bearing liabilities.
Management strives to match the re-pricing characteristics of the interest
earning assets and interest bearing liabilities to protect net interest income
from changes in market interest rates and changes in the shape of the yield
curve.

The provision for loan losses is dependent on changes in the loan portfolio
and management's assessment of the collectability of the loan portfolio as
well as prevailing economic and market conditions.  The provision for loan
losses reflects the amount that the Company believes is adequate to cover
potential credit losses in its loan portfolio.

Net income is also affected by non-interest income and non-interest expenses.
For the three month period ended December 31, 2010, non-interest income
consisted primarily of service charges and fees on deposit accounts, gain on
sale of loans, ATM transaction fees, increase in the cash surrender value of
life insurance, gain on sale of MBS, other operating income and a valuation
allowance recovery on MSRs.  Non-interest income is reduced by net OTTI losses
on investment securities.  Non-interest expenses consisted primarily of
salaries and employee benefits, premises and equipment, advertising, ATM
related expenses, OREO expenses, postage and courier, professional fees,
insurance premiums, state and local taxes and deposit insurance premiums.
Non-interest income and non-interest expenses are affected by the growth of
our operations and growth in the number of loan and deposit accounts.

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

The Bank is a community-oriented bank which has traditionally offered a
variety of savings products to its retail customers while concentrating its
lending activities on real estate mortgage loans.  Lending activities have
been focused primarily on the origination of loans secured by real estate,
including residential construction loans, one- to four-family residential
loans, multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans and land loans.  The
Bank originates adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans that do not qualify
for sale in the secondary market.  The Bank also originates commercial
business loans.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company has identified several accounting policies that as a result of
judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical
to an understanding of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed to be
sufficient to provide for estimated loan losses based on evaluating known and
inherent risks in the loan portfolio.  The allowance is provided based upon
management's comprehensive analysis of the pertinent factors underlying the
quality of the loan portfolio.  These factors include changes in the amount
and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, actual loss
experience, current economic conditions, and detailed analysis of individual
loans for which the full collectability may not be assured.  The detailed
analysis includes methods to estimate the fair value of loan

                                       30





collateral and the existence of potential alternative sources of repayment.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific
component relates to loans that are deemed impaired.  For such loans that are
classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash
flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is
lower than the recorded value of that loan.  The general component covers
non-classified loans that are not evaluated individually for impairment and is
based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  The
appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses on loans is estimated based
upon these factors and trends identified by management at the time financial
statements are prepared.

In accordance with the FASB guidance for receivables, a loan is considered
impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all
amounts (principal and interest) due according to the contractual terms of the
loan agreement. Smaller balance homogenous loans, such as residential mortgage
loans and consumer loans, may be collectively evaluated for impairment. When a
loan has been identified as being impaired, the amount of the impairment is
measured by using discounted cash flows, except when, as an alternative, the
current estimated fair value of the collateral, reduced by estimated costs to
sell, is used. The valuation of real estate collateral is subjective in nature
and may be adjusted in future periods because of changes in economic
conditions.  Management considers third-party appraisals, as well as
independent fair market value assessments from realtors or persons involved in
selling real estate in determining the estimated fair value of particular
properties.  In addition, as certain of these third-party appraisals and
independent fair market value assessments are only updated periodically,
changes in the values of specific properties may have occurred subsequent to
the most recent appraisals.  Accordingly, the amounts of any such potential
changes and any related adjustments are generally recorded at the time such
information is received. When the measurement of the impaired loan is less
than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest and net
deferred loan origination fees or costs), impairment is recognized by creating
or adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan losses and uncollected
accrued interest is reversed against interest income. If ultimate collection
of principal is in doubt, all cash receipts on impaired loans are applied to
reduce the principal balance.

A provision for loan losses is charged against operations and is added to the
allowance for loan losses based on quarterly comprehensive analyses of the
loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is allocated to certain loan
categories based on the relative risk characteristics, asset classifications
and actual loss experience of the loan portfolio.  While management has
allocated the allowance for loan losses to various loan portfolio segments,
the allowance is general in nature and is available for the loan portfolio in
its entirety.

The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors
beyond the Company's control. These factors may result in losses or recoveries
differing significantly from those provided in the consolidated financial
statements.  The Company experienced significant declines in current
valuations for real estate collateral for the fiscal years ended September 30,
2009 and 2010.  If real estate values continue to decline and as updated
appraisals are received on collateral for impaired loans, the Company may need
to increase the allowance for loan losses appropriately. In addition,
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses, and may require
the Company to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about
information available to them at the time of their examinations.


MSRs (Mortgage Servicing Rights)
MSRs are capitalized when acquired through the origination of loans that are
subsequently sold with servicing rights retained and are amortized to
servicing income on loans sold in proportion to and over the period of
estimated net servicing income.  The value of MSRs at the date of the sale of
loans is determined based on the discounted present value of expected future
cash flows using key assumptions for servicing income and costs and prepayment
rates on the underlying loans.

The estimated fair value is evaluated at least annually by a third party firm
for impairment by comparing actual

                                      31





cash flows and estimated cash flows from the servicing assets to those
estimated at the time servicing assets were originated.  The effect of changes
in market interest rates on estimated rates of loan prepayments represents the
predominant risk characteristic underlying the MSRs portfolio.  The Company's
methodology for estimating the fair value of MSRs is highly sensitive to
changes in assumptions.  For example, the determination of fair value uses
anticipated prepayment speeds.  Actual prepayment experience may differ and
any difference may have a material effect on the fair value.  Thus, any
measurement of MSRs' fair value is limited by the conditions existing and
assumptions as of the date made.  Those assumptions may not be appropriate if
they are applied at different times.

For purposes of measuring impairment, the rights must be stratified by one or
more predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans.  The Company
stratifies its capitalized MSRs based on product type, interest rate and term
of the underlying loans.  The amount of impairment recognized is the amount,
if any, by which the amortized cost of the rights for each stratum exceed
their fair value.  Impairment, if deemed temporary, is recognized through a
valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the recorded
amount.


OTTIs (Other-Than-Temporary Impairments) in the Estimated Fair Value of
Investment Securities
Unrealized losses on available for sale and held to maturity investment
securities are evaluated at least quarterly to determine whether declines in
value should be considered "other than temporary" and therefore be subject to
immediate loss recognition through earnings for the portion related to credit
losses.  Although these evaluations involve significant judgment, an
unrealized loss in the fair value of a debt security is generally deemed to be
temporary when the fair value of the security is less than the recorded value
primarily as a result of changes in interest rates, when there has not been
significant deterioration in the financial condition of the issuer, and it is
more likely than not the Company will not have to sell the security before
recovery of its cost basis.  An unrealized loss in the value of an equity
security is generally considered temporary when the estimated fair value of
the security is less than the recorded value primarily as a result of current
market conditions and not a result of deterioration in the financial condition
of the issuer or the underlying collateral (in the case of mutual funds) and
the Company has the intent and the ability to hold the security for a
sufficient time to recover the recorded value.  Other factors that may be
considered in determining whether a decline in the value of either a debt or
equity security is "other than temporary" include ratings by recognized rating
agencies; capital strength and near-term prospects of the issuer, and
recommendation of investment advisors or market analysts.  Therefore,
continued deterioration of current market conditions could result in
additional impairment losses recognized within the Company's investment
portfolio.


Goodwill
Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition
exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Goodwill is presumed to have an
indefinite useful life and is analyzed annually for impairment.  An annual
test is performed during the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more
frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the
recorded goodwill is impaired.  If the estimated fair value of the Company's
sole reporting unit exceeds the recorded value, goodwill is not considered
impaired and no additional analysis is necessary.

One of the circumstances evaluated when determining if an impairment test of
goodwill is needed more frequently than annually is the extent and duration
that the Company's market capitalization (total common shares outstanding
multiplied by current stock price) is less than the total equity applicable to
common shareholders.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company
engaged a third party firm to perform the annual test for goodwill impairment.
 The test concluded that recorded goodwill was not impaired.  As of December
31, 2010, there have been no events or changes in the circumstances that would
indicate a potential impairment to recorded goodwill.  No assurance can be
given, however, that the Company will not record an impairment loss on
goodwill in the future.

                                       32





OREO (Other Real Estate Owned) and Other Repossessed Assets
OREO and other repossessed assets consist of properties or assets acquired
through or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, and are recorded initially at the
estimated fair value of the properties less estimated costs of disposal.
Costs relating to the development and improvement of the properties or assets
are capitalized while costs relating to holding the properties or assets are
expensed.  Valuations are periodically performed by management, and a charge
to earnings is recorded if the recorded value of a property exceeds its
estimated net realizable value.


Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010

The Company's total assets decreased by $20.20 million, or 2.7%, to $722.49
million at December 31, 2010 from $742.69 million at September 30, 2010.  The
decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in interest bearing deposits
in banks and net loans receivable.

Net loans receivable decreased by $3.84 million, or 0.7%, to $523.75 million
at December 31, 2010 from $527.59 million at September 30, 2010.  The decrease
was primarily due to a decrease in one- to four-family loan balances,
multi-family loan balances and land loan balances during the three months
ended December 31, 2010, which was partially offset by an increase in
commercial real estate loan balances.

Total deposits decreased by $1.48 million, or 0.3%, to $577.39 million at
December 31, 2010 from $578.87 million at September 30, 2010, primarily as a
result of decreases in non-interest checking account balances and CD account
balances.

Shareholders' equity increased by $1.15 million, or 1.4%, to $86.56 million at
December 31, 2010 from $85.41 million at September 30, 2010.  The increase was
primarily due to net income for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

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

Cash Equivalents and CDs Held for Investment: Cash equivalents and CDs held
for investment decreased by $13.86 million, or 10.7%, to $115.97 million at
December 31, 2010 from $129.83 million at September 30, 2010.  Cash
equivalents decreased as the Company used a portion of its excess liquidity to
repay $20.00 million in FHLB advances during the three months ended December
31, 2010.

MBS (Mortgage-backed Securities) and Other Investments:  Mortgage-backed
securities and other investments decreased by $3.28 million, or 20.3%, to
$12.91 million at December 31, 2010 from $16.19 million at September 30, 2010.
The decrease was primarily as a result of the sale of $2.27 million in agency
MBS, regular amortization and prepayments on MBS and OTTI charges recorded on
private label residential MBS. The securities on which the OTTI charges were
recognized were acquired from the in-kind redemption of the Company's
investment in the AMF family of mutual funds in June 2008.  For additional
information on MBS and other investments, see Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

Loans:  Net loans receivable decreased by $3.84 million, or 0.7%, to $523.75
million at December 31, 2010 from $527.59 million at September 30, 2010.  The
decrease in the portfolio was primarily a result of a $4.67 million decrease
in land loan balances, a $4.38 million decrease in one- to four-family loan
balances, a $2.85 million decrease in multi-family loan balances and a $1.33
million decrease in consumer loan balances.  These decreases to net loans
receivable were partially offset by a $9.84 million increase in commercial
real estate loan balances.

                                      33





Loan originations decreased to $49.15 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2010 from $54.01 million for the three months ended December 31,
2009.  The Company continued to sell longer-term fixed rate loans for asset
liability management purposes and to generate non-interest income.  The
Company sold fixed rate one- to four-family mortgage loans totaling $26.86
million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $18.85
million for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

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

Premises and Equipment:  Premises and equipment decreased by $146,000, or
0.8%, to $17.24 million at December 31, 2010 from $17.38 million at September
30, 2010.  The decrease was primarily a result of depreciation.

OREO (Other Real Estate Owned): OREO and other repossessed assets increased by
$1.09 million, or 9.5%, to $12.61 million at December 31, 2010 from $11.52
million at September 30, 2010.  At December 31, 2010, OREO consisted of 33
individual properties and four other repossessed assets.  The properties
consisted of two condominium projects totaling $3.95 million, three land
development projects totaling $2.90 million, nine single family homes totaling
$1.90 million, 15 land parcels totaling $2.35 million and four commercial real
estate properties totaling $1.51 million.

Goodwill and CDI:  The value of goodwill at $5.65 million at December 31, 2010
remained unchanged from September 30, 2010.  The amortized value of the CDI
decreased to $522,000 at December 31, 2010 from $564,000 at September 30,
2010.  The decrease was attributable to scheduled amortization of the CDI.

Prepaid FDIC Insurance Assessment:  The prepaid FDIC insurance assessment
decreased $309,000, or 9.5%, to $2.96 million at December 31, 2010 from $3.27
million at September 30, 2010 as a portion of the prepaid amount was expensed.

Deposits: Deposits decreased by $1.48 million, or 0.3%, to $577.39 million at
December 31, 2010 from $578.87 million at September 30, 2010.  The decrease
was primarily a result of a $7.24 million decrease in non-interest bearing
checking account balances and a $3.10 million decrease in CD account balances.
This decrease was partially offset by a $4.11 million increase in N.O.W.
checking accounts balances, a $3.03 million increase in money market account
balances and a $1.72 million increase in savings account balances.

FHLB Advances:  FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $20.00
million, or 26.7%, to $55.00 million at December 31, 2010 from $75.00 million
at September 30, 2010 as the Bank used a portion of its liquid assets to repay
FHLB advances.  For additional information, see "Borrowing Maturity Schedule"
set forth below.

Shareholders' Equity:  Total shareholders' equity increased by $1.15 million,
or 1.4%, to $86.56 million at December 31, 2010 from $85.41 million at
September 30, 2010.  The increase was primarily due to net income to common
shareholders of $1.09 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

The FRB has denied the Company's requests to pay cash dividends on its
outstanding Series A Preferred Stock held by the Treasury for the payments due
May 15, 2010, August 15, 2010 and November 15, 2010.  Cash dividends on the
Series A Preferred Stock are cumulative and accrue and compound on each
subsequent date.  Accordingly, during the deferral period, the Company will
continue to accrue, and reflect in the consolidated financial statements, the
deferred dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.  As a result
of not receiving permission from the FRB to pay these dividends, the Company
had not made the May 15, 2010, August 15, 2010 or the November 15, 2010
dividend payment as of December 31, 2010.  At December 31, 2010, the Company
had unpaid preferred stock dividends in arrears of $624,000.  If the Company
does not make six quarterly dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock,
whether or not consecutive, the Treasury

                                      34



will have the right to appoint two directors to the Company's board of
directors until all accrued but unpaid dividends have been paid.  In addition,
the Company's ability to pay dividends with respect to common stock is
restricted until the dividend obligations under the Series A Preferred Stock
are brought current.

Non-performing Assets:  Non-performing assets consist of non-accrual loans,
loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, non-accrual investment
securities, and OREO and other repossessed assets.  Non-performing assets to
total assets increased to 5.87% at December 31, 2010 from 5.53% at September
30, 2010.  The increase in the non-performing asset ratio was primarily a
result of a $1.09 million increase in OREO and other repossessed assets and a
$20.20 million decrease in total assets.

Total non-accrual loans of $26.17 million at December 31, 2010 were comprised
of 78 loans and 55 credit relationships.  Included in these non-accrual loans
at December 31, 2010 were:
   *   29 land loans totaling $8.10 million (of which the largest had a
       balance of $2.73 million)
   *   Nine commercial real estate loans totaling $6.30 million (of which the
       largest had a balance of $2.71 million)
   *   16 single family home loans totaling $4.12 million (of which the
       largest had a balance of $722,000)
   *   Eight land development loans totaling $3.52 million (of which the
       largest had a balance of $1.42 million)
   *   Three single family speculative home loans totaling $1.70 million (of
       which the largest had a balance of $751,000)
   *   Two condominium construction loans totaling $1.35 million (of which the

Borrowing Maturity Schedule
---------------------------
The Company has short- and long-term borrowing lines with the FHLB of Seattle
with total credit on the lines equal to 30% of the Bank's total assets,
limited by available collateral.  Borrowings are considered short-term when
the original maturity is less than one year.  FHLB advances consisted of the
following:

credit based on eligible collateral.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company had
a borrowing line capacity of $44.50 million of which the Company did not have
an amount outstanding.  As of December 31,, 2010 the Company had no
outstanding borrowings on the credit line with the FRB.


Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2010
and 2009

The Company's net income increased by $1.14 million, or 506.7%, to $1.36
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from $224,000 for the quarter
ended December 31, 2009.  Net income to common shareholders after adjusting
for the preferred stock dividend and the preferred stock discount accretion
was $1.10 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to a loss
of $(35,000) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  The increase in net
income was primarily a result of a decreased provision for loan losses and
increased non-interest income, which was partially offset by increased
non-interest expenses. Diluted net income per common share was $0.16 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2010 compared to a loss of $(0.01) for the quarter
ended December 31, 2009.

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

Net Income (Loss): Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2010
increased by $1.14 million, or 506.7%, to $1.36 million from net income of
$224,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  Net income to common
shareholders after adjusting for preferred stock dividends of $208,000 and
preferred stock discount accretion of $54,000 was $1.10 million, or $0.16 per
diluted common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to a
loss of $(35,000), or $(0.01) per diluted common share, for the quarter ended
December 31, 2009.

                                      36





The $0.17 increase in net income per diluted common share was primarily the
result of a $1.70 million ($1.12 million net of income tax - $0.17 per diluted
common share) decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $982,000
($648,000 net of income tax - $0.10 per diluted common share) increase in
non-interest income. These increases to net income per diluted common share
were partially offset by an $878,000 ($580,000 net of income tax - $0.09 per
diluted common share) increase in non-interest expense and a $60,000 ($40,000
net of income tax - $0.01 per diluted common share) decrease in net interest
income.

Net Interest Income:   Net interest income decreased by $60,000, or 0.9%, to
$6.33 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from $6.39 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease in net interest income was
primarily attributable to a change in the composition of average interest
earning assets as the percentage of lower yielding cash equivalents and other
liquid assets increased and the percentage of higher yielding loans decreased
for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 relative to the quarter ended December
31, 2009.

Total interest and dividend income decreased by $530,000, or 5.7%, to $8.81
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from $9.34 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 2009 as the yield on interest earning assets
decreased to 5.31% from 5.76%.  The decrease in the weighted average yield on
interest earning assets was primarily a result of an increase in the amount of
lower yielding cash equivalents and other liquid assets and a change in the
composition of the loan portfolio as the level of higher yielding construction
loans decreased.  Total interest expense decreased by $470,000, or 15.9%, to
$2.48 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from $2.95 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2009 as the average rate paid on interest
bearing liabilities decreased to 1.70% for the quarter ended December 31, 2010
from 2.09% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease in funding
costs was primarily a result of a decrease in overall market rates and a
decrease in the level of average FHLB advances.  The net interest margin
decreased to 3.82% for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from 3.94% for the
quarter ended December 31, 2009.  The reversal of interest income on loans
placed on non-accrual status during the quarter ended December 31, 2010
reduced the net interest margin by approximately four basis points.

Rate Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on
the net interest income of the Company.  Information is provided with respect
to the (i) effects on interest income attributable to change in volume
(changes in volume multiplied by prior rate), and (ii) effects on interest
income attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior
volume), and (iii) the net change (sum of the prior columns).  Changes in
rate/volume have been allocated to rate and volume variances based on the
absolute values of each.

Provision for Loan Losses:  The provision for loan losses decreased $1.70
million, or 65.4%, to $900,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from
$2.60 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease in the
provision for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three
months ended December 31, 2009 was primarily due to a decreased level of net
charge-offs and a decrease in the Company's construction and land development
loan portfolio.

The Company has established a comprehensive methodology for determining the
provision for loan losses.  On a quarterly basis the Company performs an
analysis that considers pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan
portfolio.  The factors include changes in the amount and composition of the
loan portfolio, historic loss experience for various loan segments, changes in
economic conditions, delinquency rates, a detailed analysis of impaired loans,
and other factors to determine an appropriate level of allowance for loan
losses.  Based on its

                                       39





comprehensive analysis, management believes the allowance for loan losses of
$11.75 million at December 31, 2010 (2.19% of loans receivable and loans held
for sale and 44.90% of non-accrual loans) is adequate to provide for probable
losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan
portfolio at that date.  Impaired loans are subjected to an impairment
analysis to determine an appropriate reserve amount to be held against each
loan.  The aggregate principal impairment amount determined at December 31,
2010 was $1.45 million.  The allowance for loan losses was $14.93 million
(2.66% of loans receivable and 43.20% of non-accrual loans) at December 31,
2009.  The Company had net charge-offs of $415,000 during the three months
ended December 31, 2010 and net charge-offs of $1.84 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2009.

Non-accrual and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing increased
$282,000 to $26.47 million at December 31, 2010 from $26.19 million at
September 30, 2010.  For additional information, see the section entitled
"Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010
- Non-performing Assets" included herein.

While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its
determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no
assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in
the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the
amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be
required will not adversely impact the Company's financial condition and
results of operations.  In addition, the determination of the amount of the
Bank's allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators as
part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment
of additional reserves based upon their analysis of information available to
them at the time of their examination.  In addition, because future events
affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there
can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses is adequate or
that substantial increases will not be necessary should the quality of any
loans deteriorate.  Any material increase in the allowance for loan losses
would adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.  For additional information, see Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."

Non-interest Income: Total non-interest income increased $982,000, or 49.9%,
to $2.95 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from $1.97 million
for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  This increase was primarily a result
of a $634,000 valuation allowance recovery on MSRs, a $252,000 increase in
gain on sale of loans and a $79,000 gain on the sale of MBS.  Also
contributing to the increased non-interest income was a $152,000 decrease in
the net OTTI on MBS and other investments for the quarter ended December 31,
2010.  These increases to non-interest income were partially offset by a
$146,000 decrease to service charges on deposits.

The $634,000 MSR valuation allowance recovery during the quarter ended
December 31, 2010 represents the majority of the $890,000 valuation allowance
that was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  The recovery
was primarily due to increased mortgage rates at December 31, 2010 relative to
September 30, 2010, which reduced prepayment speeds and increased the expected
life and corresponding value of the MSR portfolio. The increased gain on sale
of loans was primarily due to an increase in the dollar volume of fixed rate
one- to four-family mortgage loans sold during the quarter ended December 31,
2010.  The Company also recorded a $79,000 gain from the sale of $2.27 million
in agency MBS during the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Non-interest Expense:  Total non-interest expense increased by $878,000, or
16.0% to $6.38 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from $5.50
million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.  This increase was primarily
a result of a $378,000 increase in OREO and other repossessed items expense, a
$140,000 increase in FDIC insurance expense and a $134,000 increase in
corporate insurance (including directors' and officers' liability insurance)
expenses.  Also affecting the comparison was a change in the Bank's vacation
accrual policy during the prior year which reduced the salaries and employee
benefits expense by $164,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

                                      40





The increased OREO and other repossessed asset expenses were primarily due to
lower valuations on updated appraisals received for several properties.

Provision for Income Taxes:  The provision for income taxes increased to
$647,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 from $38,000 for the quarter
ended December 31, 2009 primarily as a result of increased income before
income taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate was 32.3% for the quarter
ended December 31, 2010 and 14.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.
The effective tax rate was lower for the quarter ended December 31, 2009
primarily due to a higher percentage of non-taxable BOLI net earnings to total
income before income taxes relative to the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity
---------
The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from
principal and interest payments on loans and MBS, proceeds from the sale of
loans, proceeds from maturing securities and maturing CDs held for investment,
FHLB advances, and other borrowings.  While maturities and the scheduled
amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates,
economic conditions and competition.

An analysis of liquidity should include a review of the Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The
Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows includes operating, investing
and financing categories.  Operating activities include net income, which is
adjusted for non-cash items, and increases or decreases in cash due to changes
in 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.

The Company's total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $14.32 million, or
12.8% to $97.47 million at December 31, 2010 from $111.79 million at September
30, 2010.  The decrease in liquid assets was primarily a result of 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 December 31,
2010, 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 20.43%.  The Bank maintained an uncommitted credit facility with the FHLB
that provided for immediately available advances up to an aggregate amount
equal to 30% of total assets, limited by available collateral, under which
$55.00 million was outstanding and $124.77 million was available for
additional borrowings at December 31, 2010.  The Bank also maintains a
short-term borrowing line with the FRB with total credit based on eligible
collateral.  At December 31, 2010, the Bank had $44.50 million available for
borrowings with the FRB and there was no outstanding balance on this borrowing
line.

Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of the
Bank's management.  The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based
upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan
sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, and (iv) yields available on
interest-bearing deposits.  Excess liquidity is invested generally in
interest-bearing overnight deposits, federal funds sold, and other short-term
investments.  If the Bank requires funds that exceed its ability to generate
them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and the
FRB.

The Bank's primary investing activity is the origination of one- to
four-family mortgage loans, commercial mortgage loans, construction loans,
land loans, consumer loans, and commercial business loans.  At December 31,
2010, the Bank had loan commitments totaling $31.67 million and undisbursed
loans in process totaling

                                      41





$16.29 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 December 31, 2010 totaled $167.22 million.
Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its
non-brokered CDs as they mature.  At December 31, 2010, the Bank had no
brokered deposits.


Capital Resources
-----------------
Federally-insured state-chartered banks are required to maintain minimum
levels of regulatory capital.  Under current FDIC regulations, insured
state-chartered banks generally must maintain (i) a ratio of Tier 1 leverage
capital to total assets of at least 4.0%, (ii) a ratio of Tier 1 capital to
risk weighted assets of at least 4.0% and (iii) a ratio of total capital to
risk weighted assets of at least 8.0%.  The Bank is currently required to
maintain a well capitalized status and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at
least 10.0% under terms of the Bank MOU.

At December 31, 2010, the Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital
requirements.

The following table compares the Company's and the Bank's actual capital
amounts at December 31, 2010 to its minimum regulatory capital requirements at
that date (dollars in thousands):

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
-------------------------------------------------------------------
There were no material changes in information concerning market risk from the
information provided in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010.


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 December 31, 2010 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 December 31, 2010, 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.
