BUCYRUS, Ohio, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Community Investors Bancorp, Inc. (Pink Sheets: CIBN), parent company of First Federal Community Bank of Bucyrus, reported net earnings of $85,000, or $.10 per basic share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $77,000, or 47.5%, compared to the net earnings of $162,000, or $.18 per basic share, reported in the 2007 quarter. The decrease in 2008 earnings reflects a $145,000, or 14.5%, decrease in net interest income coupled with an increase in provision for loan loss of $34,000. This was partially offset by a $23,000, or 2.6% decrease in general, administrative and other expense, as well as an increase of $5,000 or, 3.9% in other income. The decrease in our net interest income can be attributed to the narrowing of our net interest margin. The increase in provision for loan losses reflects the recognition of the current economic climate in our local market and the resulting difficulties of some of our loan customers in light of recent plant closings and cutbacks in the local workforce. General, administrative and other expense primarily reflect our efforts to hold overhead costs down in an adverse market. Efficiencies gained through successful implementation of our core processing system have allowed us to reduce or maintain personnel costs. Community Investors Bancorp, Inc. reported total assets at September 30, 2008, of $143.1 million, total liabilities of $132.5 million, including total deposits of $93.3 million and total stockholders' equity of $10.6 million.
