Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition
--------------------------------------------------------

     On December 11, 2009, Timberland Bancorp, Inc. reported that it had
revised its fiscal fourth quarter and annual net income by $315,000 ($477,000
pre-tax) as a result of an additional impairment charge to certain private
label mortgage backed securities in its subsidiary bank's portfolio.  The
additional impairment charges reduced earnings per diluted common share to a
loss of $(0.08) from the previously reported loss of $(0.03) per diluted
common share for the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2009.  For fiscal
2009, the revised earnings per diluted common share is a loss of $(0.15)
compared to the previously reported loss of $(0.11) per diluted common share.
The additional impairment on securities also increased the accumulated other
comprehensive loss component of shareholder's equity by $557,000 for the
non-credit related component of the impairment.

     A copy of the earnings release that revises the release issued November
6, 2009 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
