BUCYRUS, Ohio, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Community Investors Bancorp, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: CIBN), parent company of First Federal Community Bank of Bucyrus, reported net earnings of $516,000, or $.58 per basic share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, representing a decrease of $8,000, or 1.5%, compared to the net earnings of $524,000, or $.60 per basic share, reported for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in earnings reflects a $45,000, or 1.5%, increase in net interest income coupled with a reduction in provision for loan loss of $30,000. In addition, general, administrative and other expense, decreased by $71,000 or 2.7%. This was offset by a reduction in other income of $161,000. The reduction in other income reflects the recognition of losses on foreclosed real estate and other repossessed collateral, as well as reduced activity in production and sale of mortgage loans. General, administrative and other expense reflects reduced pension liability costs partially offset by increased costs related to conversion to a new core processing system. We continue to see efficiencies from our new core processing system as well as improved service to our customers on a real-time basis. These efficiencies have allowed us to offset some of the expenses related to our new Marysville banking center. The Marysville banking center opened successfully in November, as the Company expands its geographic reach. We are continuing to focus on new opportunities to serve our customers and shareholders, while increasing our operational efficiency.
