Community Investors Bancorp, Inc. Reports Net Income For The Six Months and Three Months Ended December 31, 2013
PR Newswire - Mon Jan 27, 2:21PM CST
Community Investors Bancorp, Inc. (Pink Sheets: CIBN), parent company of First Federal Community Bank of Bucyrus, reported net earnings available to common shareholders of $230,000, or $.29 per common share for the six months ended December 31, 2013, representing an increase of $57,000, (32.9%), compared to the net earnings of $173,000, or $.22 per common share reported for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The increase in 2013 earnings reflects an increase in net interest income of $22,000 (1.1%) and a decrease in general, administrative and other expense of $88,000 (3.9%). In addition, preferred dividends were reduced by $69,000 to $-0- as a result of the redemption of our preferred shares completed in March 2013. This was partially offset by a decrease in other income of $117,000 (16.1%), and an increase in provision for losses on loans of $26,000 (14.2%). The increase in net interest income reflects some stabilization of interest rate margins in a historically low interest rate environment as well as the beginnings of increased new loan demand. The provision for loan losses reflects continuing cleanup of troubled credits. Our classified assets remain unacceptably high but decreasing. As we continue to work to help our distressed loan customers who make good faith efforts at repayment, we continue to evaluate our past due loans to recognize the losses on a timely basis. Loan administration costs, regulatory compliance expense, and costs related to bank-owned properties remain elevated. Other income decreases resulted from the expansion of our secondary mortgage loan market into northeast Ohio (Strongsville) and southwest Ohio (Grove City). We are seeking new opportunities and customers in all of our markets with a renewed marketing effort in our Marysville market. We have raised the expectations for ourselves and our associates to make the changes required to achieve a higher level of profitability, through controlled growth and additional operational efficiency.

Community Investors Bancorp, Inc. Reports Net Earnings For The Year and Three Months Ended June 30, 2013
PR Newswire - Thu Aug 15, 7:24AM CDT
Community Investors Bancorp, Inc., parent company of First Federal Community Bank of Bucyrus, reported net earnings of $80,000, or $.10 per basic share, for the year ended June 30, 2013, representing a decrease of $349,000, (81.4%), compared to the net earnings of $429,000, or $.49 per basic share, reported for the year ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in 2013 earnings reflects a decrease in net interest income of $268,000 (6.1%), an increase in provision for loan loss of $261,000 (48.6%) and an increase in general administrative and other expenses of $323,000 (7.4%). This was partially offset by an increase in other income of $236,000 (17.2%), as well as the decrease in preferred dividends of $58,000 as a result of the redemption of our preferred shares completed in March 2013. The decrease in net interest income reflects the difficulty of managing interest rate margins in a historically low interest rate environment as well as a lack of new loan demand. The provision for loan losses reflects a large write-off of a troubled credit which occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Though our classified assets remain at unacceptably high levels, we continue to work with our distressed loan customers. Loan administration costs, regulatory compliance expense, and costs related to bank-owned properties remain elevated. Professional expenses related to the redemption of our preferred stock as well as the termination of our ESOP plan also contributed to the increase in general, administrative and other expenses. Other income increases resulted from our gains on sales of mortgages into the secondary market. We have already started the process of remaking our Bank and our attitude as we celebrate our 125th anniversary. We have expanded our geographic reach into northeast Ohio with a new secondary mortgage loan production office. We have raised the expectations for ourselves and our associates to make the changes required to return to a high level of profitability, through controlled growth and additional operational efficiency.
