BUCYRUS, Ohio, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Community Investors Bancorp, Inc. (Pink Sheets: CIBN), parent company of First Federal Community Bank of Bucyrus, reported net earnings of $162,000, or $.18 per basic share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, representing an increase of $18,000, or 12.5%, compared to the net earnings of $144,000, or $.17 per basic share, reported in the 2006 quarter. The increase in 2007 earnings reflects a $55,000, or 5.7%, increase in net interest income coupled with a reduction in provision for loan loss of $20,000. This was partially offset by a $26,000, or 3.0% increase in general, administrative and other expense, as well as a decrease of $22,000 or, 14.8% in other income. The reduction in other income reflects the recognition of losses on foreclosed real estate and other repossessed collateral. General, administrative and other expense primarily reflects increased costs related to the costs of our conversion to a new core processing system during August, as well as increased personnel and other costs related to preparation for the opening of our Marysville branch. These increases were partially offset by reductions in core processing monthly costs. The Marysville branch will open in November, as the Company expands its geographic reach. At the same time, we will continue to search for new opportunities to serve its customers and shareholders, while looking for opportunities to increase our efficiency. Community Investors Bancorp, Inc. reported total assets at September 30, 2007, of $141.5 million, total liabilities of $130.8 million, including total deposits of $88.0 million and total stockholders' equity of $10.7 million.
