BUCYRUS, Ohio, July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Community Investors Bancorp, Inc. (Pink Sheets: CIBN), parent company of First Federal Community Bank of Bucyrus, reported net earnings of $675,000, or $.77 per basic share, for the year ended June 30, 2008, representing an increase of $608,000 compared to the net earnings of $67,000, or $.08 per basic share, reported for the year ended June 30, 2007. The increase in earnings reflects a $105,000, or 2.5%, decrease in net interest income as well as an increase in provision for loan loss of $28,000. Offsetting these decreases in income were drastic reductions in general, administrative and other expense, which decreased by $1,230,000. This reflects the termination of the defined benefit pension plan as well as one-time core processing conversion costs incurred in the final quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Other income was down by $176,000 reflecting the recognition of losses on foreclosed real estate and other repossessed collateral, as well as reduced activity in production and sale of mortgage loans. Our new core processing system has reduced expenses and improved our customer service on a real-time basis. The continued efficiencies will help us to face the challenges of our current environment and take advantage of our new Marysville banking center. We will continue to focus on our customers, shareholders and staff, providing opportunities to build value as well as increase our operational efficiency.
