                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          For the six and three months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998


    1.   Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements were prepared
    in  accordance  with  instructions  for Form 10-QSB and,  therefore,  do not
    include  information or footnotes  necessary for a complete  presentation of
    consolidated  financial  position,  results of operations  and cash flows in
    conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these
    financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the  consolidated
    financial statements and notes thereto of Community Investors Bancorp,  Inc.
    (the  "Corporation")  included  in the Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for the
    year  ended June 30,  1999.  However,  in the  opinion  of  management,  all
    adjustments  (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring  accruals)  which  are
    necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the financial  statements  have been
    included.  The results of  operations  for the six and three  month  periods
    ended December 31, 1999 are not necessarily  indicative of the results which
    may be expected for an entire fiscal year.

    2.   Principles of Consolidation

    The accompanying  consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of
    the Corporation and its wholly owned  subsidiary,  First Federal Savings and
    Loan   Association   of  Bucyrus  (the   "Association").   All   significant
    intercompany items have been eliminated.

    3.   Earnings Per Share

    Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted-average  common
    shares  outstanding  during  the  period  less  shares  in the ESOP that are
    unallocated and not committed to be released. Weighted-average common shares
    deemed  outstanding,  which gives effect to 79,272  unallocated ESOP shares,
    totaled  1,139,396  and  1,139,379 for the six and three month periods ended
    December 31, 1999. Weighted-average common shares deemed outstanding,  which
    gives  effect to 92,709  unallocated  ESOP  shares,  totaled  1,150,103  and
    1,137,419 for the six and three month periods ended December 31, 1998.

    Diluted  earnings  per share is computed  taking into  consideration  common
    shares  outstanding and dilutive  potential common shares to be issued under
    the Corporation's stock option plan.  Weighted-average  common shares deemed
    outstanding  for purposes of computing  diluted  earnings per share  totaled
    1,161,065 and  1,158,331 for the six and three month periods ended  December
    31, 1999.  Weighted-average common shares deemed outstanding for purposes of
    computing diluted earnings per share totaled 1,195,797 and 1,180,709 for the
    six and three month  periods  ended  December 31, 1998.  Incremental  shares
    related to the assumed exercise of stock options included in the calculation
    of  diluted  earnings  per share  totaled  21,669 and 18,952 for the six and
    three month periods ended  December 31, 1999,  and 45,694 and 43,290 for the
    six and three month  periods  ended  December 31, 1998.  Options to purchase
    19,521  shares of common  stock with a  weighted-average  exercise  price of
    $10.72 were  outstanding  at December 31, 1999,  but were  excluded from the
    computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended
    December  31, 1999  because  their  exercise  prices were  greater  than the
    average market price of the common shares.

          For the six and three months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998


    4.   Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
    Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,  "Accounting
    for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires entities
    to recognize all derivatives in their financial  statements as either assets
    or  liabilities  measured at fair  value.  SFAS No. 133 also  specifies  new
    methods of accounting  for hedging  transactions,  prescribes  the items and
    transactions that may be hedged,  and specifies  detailed criteria to be met
    to qualify for hedge accounting.

    The  definition  of a derivative  financial  instrument  is complex,  but in
    general,  it is an  instrument  with  one or  more  underlyings,  such as an
    interest  rate or  foreign  exchange  rate,  that is  applied  to a notional
    amount,  such  as  an  amount  of  currency,  to  determine  the  settlement
    amount(s).  It generally requires no significant  initial investment and can
    be settled  net or by delivery  of an asset that is readily  convertible  to
    cash.  SFAS No. 133  applies to  derivatives  embedded  in other  contracts,
    unless the  underlying  of the  embedded  derivative  is clearly and closely
    related to the host contract.

    SFAS No.  133, as amended by SFAS No. 137,  is  effective  for fiscal  years
    beginning  after June 15,  2000.  On  adoption,  entities  are  permitted to
    transfer  held-to-maturity  debt  securities  to the  available-for-sale  or
    trading  category  without  calling into question their intent to hold other
    debt  securities to maturity in the future.  SFAS No. 133 is not expected to
    have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains  forward-looking  statements  that  involve  risks  and  uncertainties.
Economic  circumstances,  the  Corporation's  operations  and the  Corporation's
actual  results  could  differ   significantly   from  those  discussed  in  the
forward-looking  statements.  Some of the factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences are discussed herein but also include changes in the economy
and interest rates in the nation and the Corporation's market area generally.

Some of the  forward-looking  statements  included  herein  are  the  statements
regarding management's determination of the amount and adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses and the effect of certain recent accounting pronouncements.


Discussion  of  Financial  Condition  Changes from June 30, 1999 to December 31,
1999

At December 31, 1999,  the  Corporation's  assets  totaled  $120.3  million,  an
increase of $4.1 million, or 3.5%, over the level reported at June 30, 1999. The
increase in assets was funded primarily through an increase in advances from the
Federal  Home Loan Bank of $3.3  million,  combined  with  growth in the deposit
portfolio.

Liquid assets (i.e. cash, interest-bearing deposits,  investment securities, and
mortgage-backed  securities available for sale) decreased by $255,000 during the
six  month  period,  to a total  of $22.4  million  at  December  31,  1999,  as
maturities of mortgage-backed securities of $1.7 million and a $120,000 decrease
in cash and cash  equivalents  were partially  offset by purchases of investment
securities  totaling  $1.5  million.  The purchases  include  government  agency
securities  and bear a weighted  average  interest rate of 8.25%.  The purchases
were  financed  using fixed rate  callable  advances  from the Federal Home Loan
Bank,   coupled  with  previously   mentioned   maturities  of   mortgage-backed
securities. Regulatory liquidity amounted to 12.33% at December 31, 1999.

Loans receivable totaled $94.1 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of $4.2
million,  or 4.6%,  over June 30,  1999.  Loan  disbursements  amounted to $17.0
million and were partially offset by principal  repayments of $12.7 million. The
volume of loan  disbursements  during the six months  ended  December  31,  1999
decreased by $7.8 million,  or 31.4%, from the same period in 1998 due to rising
interest  rates and less  refinancing  activity.  The  allowance for loan losses
totaled $515,000 at December 31, 1999, as compared to $591,000 at June 30, 1999.
Nonperforming  loans  totaled  $361,000 at  December  31,  1999,  as compared to
$912,000 at June 30, 1999. The allowance for loan losses  represented  142.7% of
nonperforming loans as of December 31, 1999 and 64.8% at June 30, 1999. Although
management  believes that its allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1999, is
adequate  based  upon the  available  facts and  circumstances,  there can be no
assurance  that  additions  to such  allowance  will not be  necessary in future
periods, which could adversely affect the Corporation's results of operations.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Discussion  of  Financial  Condition  Changes from June 30, 1999 to December 31,
1999 (continued)

Deposits totaled $80.2 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of $225,000, or
0.3%, over June 30, 1999 levels.  Management  continued its efforts to achieve a
moderate rate of growth through marketing and pricing strategies.

Advances  from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled  $28.6 million at December 31,
1999,  an increase of $3.3  million,  or 13.0%,  over June 30, 1999 levels.  The
increase  resulted  primarily from fixed-rate  advances used to fund loan growth
and the purchase of investment securities, as previously discussed.

Stockholder's  equity totaled $10.9 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of
$491,000,  or 4.7% over June 30, 1999 levels.  The increase  resulted  primarily
from net earnings of $475,000  coupled with  amortization of stock benefit plans
which were partially  offset by repurchases of 3,000 shares of treasury stock at
an aggregate  price of $25,000  coupled with  dividend  payments on common stock
totaling $158,000.

The Association is required to meet minimum capital standards promulgated by the
Office of Thrift  Supervision  (OTS).  At December 31, 1999,  the  Association's
capital was well in excess of such minimum capital requirements.


Comparison of Operating  Results for the Six Month  Periods  Ended  December 31,
1999 and 1998

General

The  Corporation's  net  earnings  totaled  $475,000  for the six  months  ended
December 31,  1999,  an increase of $35,000,  or 8.0%,  over the $440,000 of net
earnings reported for the same period in 1998. The increase in earnings resulted
primarily from a $25,000  increase in net interest income and a $33,000 increase
in other income,  which were partially  offset by a $19,000  increase in federal
income tax expense.

Net Interest Income

Net  interest  income  increased by $25,000,  or 1.5%,  for the six months ended
December  31,  1999,  compared  to the 1998  period.  Interest  income  on loans
increased by $87,000,  or 2.5%, due primarily to a $7.2 million  increase in the
average  net  portfolio  balance of loans  outstanding  year-to-year,  partially
offset by a decline in the average  yield.  Interest  income on  investment  and
mortgage-backed  securities and interest-bearing  deposits increased by $21,000,
or  3.3%,  due  primarily  to an  increase  in  the  average  portfolio  balance
outstanding.

Interest expense on deposits  decreased by $61,000,  or 3.4%, due primarily to a
decline in the cost of deposits  year-to-year,  which was partially  offset by a
$2.7 million increase in the average balance of deposits  outstanding.  Interest
expense on borrowings  increased by $144,000,  or 24.2%, due primarily to a $4.4
million  increase  in the  weighted-average  balance of  Federal  Home Loan Bank
advances outstanding.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Comparison of Operating  Results for the Six Month  Periods  Ended  December 31,
1999 and 1998 (continued)


As a result of the foregoing  changes in interest  income and interest  expense,
net interest  income  increased by $25,000,  or 1.5%, to a total of $1.7 million
for the six months ended December 31, 1999. The interest rate spread amounted to
approximately  2.73% in the 1999 six month  period,  as compared to 3.07% during
the 1998 period,  while the net interest margin totaled  approximately  3.08% in
1999, as compared to 3.54% in 1998.

Provision for Losses on Loans

A  provision  for  losses on loans is  charged  to  earnings  to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level considered  appropriate by management based
on  historical  experience,  the  volume and type of  lending  conducted  by the
Association,  the status of past due  principal and interest  payments,  general
economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Association's
market  area,  and  other  factors   related  to  the   collectibility   of  the
Association's loan portfolio. As a result of such analysis,  management recorded
a $39,000  provision  for  losses on loans  during  the six month  period  ended
December 31, 1999, a decrease of $13,000 from the  comparable  1998 period.  The
current period  provision  reflects the growth in the loan portfolio  integrated
with an overall decrease in nonperforming loans, which consists substantially of
one- to four-family  residential  mortgage loans that  management  deems to have
adequate  levels of  collateralization.  There can be no assurance that the loan
loss  allowance  of  the  Association  will  be  adequate  to  cover  losses  on
nonperforming assets in the future.

Other Income

Other income  increased by $33,000,  or 25.6%, for the six months ended December
31,  1999,  compared  to the same  period in 1998,  due  primarily  to a $16,000
increase  in gain on sale of  repossessed  assets,  coupled  with an increase in
service fees on deposit accounts and transactions.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General,  administrative and other expense increased by $17,000, or 1.6%, during
the six months ended  December  31,  1999,  compared to the same period in 1998.
This increase  resulted  primarily  from a $20,000,  or 20.0%,  increase in data
processing expense,  which was partially offset by a $14,000, or 17.7%, decrease
in franchise  tax  expense.  The increase in data  processing  expense  resulted
primarily from an increase in item processing  transaction levels,  coupled with
increased costs attendant computer system upgrades.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes increased by $19,000, or 8.7%, during the
six months ended  December 31, 1999, as compared to the same period in 1998. Net
earnings before income taxes increased by $54,000,  or 8.2%, compared to the six
months ended December 31, 1998. The effective tax rates were 33.4% and 33.2% for
the six months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Comparison of Operating  Results for the Three Month Periods Ended  December 31,
1999 and 1998

General

The  Corporation's  net  earnings  totaled  $223,000  for the three months ended
December 31,  1999,  an increase of $16,000,  or 7.7%,  over the $207,000 of net
earnings reported for the same period in 1998. The increase in earnings resulted
primarily from a $15,000  increase in net interest income and a $20,000 increase
in other income,  which were partially  offset by an $8,000  increase in federal
income tax expense.

Net Interest Income

Net interest  income  increased by $15,000,  or 1.8%, for the three months ended
December  31,  1999,  compared  to the 1998  period.  Interest  income  on loans
increased by $69,000,  or 4.4%, due primarily to a $8.0 million  increase in the
average  net  portfolio  balance of loans  outstanding  year-to-year,  partially
offset by a decline in the average  yield.  Interest  income on  investment  and
mortgage-backed  securities and interest-bearing  deposits decreased by $25,000,
or  6.9%,  due  primarily  to  a  decrease  in  the  average  portfolio  balance
outstanding.

Interest expense on deposits  decreased by $26,000,  or 2.9%, due primarily to a
decline in the cost of deposits  year-to-year,  which was partially  offset by a
$2.5 million increase in the average balance of deposits  outstanding.  Interest
expense on borrowings  increased by $55,000,  or 16.2%,  due primarily to a $2.3
million  increase in the  weighted-average  balance of advances from the Federal
Home Loan Bank outstanding.

As a result of the foregoing  changes in interest  income and interest  expense,
net interest  income  increased by $15,000,  or 1.8%, to a total of $838,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 1999.  The interest rate spread  amounted to
approximately  2.62% in the 1999 three month period, as compared to 2.60% during
the 1998 period,  while the net interest margin totaled  approximately  2.92% in
1999, as compared to 2.90% in 1998.

Provision for Losses on Loans

A  provision  for  losses on loans is  charged  to  earnings  to bring the total
allowance for loan losses to a level considered  appropriate by management based
on  historical  experience,  the  volume and type of  lending  conducted  by the
Association,  the status of past due  principal and interest  payments,  general
economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Association's
market  area,  and  other  factors   related  to  the   collectibility   of  the
Association's loan portfolio. As a result of such analysis,  management recorded
a $17,000  provision  for losses on loans  during the three month  period  ended
December  31, 1999, a decrease of $9,000 from the  comparable  1998 period.  The
current period  provision  reflects the growth in the loan portfolio  integrated
with an overall decrease in nonperforming loans, which consists substantially of
one- to four-family  residential  mortgage loans that  management  deems to have
adequate  levels of  collateralization.  There can be no assurance that the loan
loss  allowance  of  the  Association  will  be  adequate  to  cover  losses  on
nonperforming assets in the future.

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Comparison of Operating  Results for the Three Month Periods Ended  December 31,
1999 and 1998 (continued)

Other Income

Other income increased by $20,000, or 27.8%, for the three months ended December
31, 1999,  compared to the same period in 1998,  due primarily to an increase in
service fees on deposit accounts and transactions.

General, Administrative and Other Expense

General,  administrative and other expense increased by $20,000, or 3.6%, during
the three months ended  December 31, 1999,  compared to the same period in 1998.
This increase  resulted  primarily  from a $12,000,  or 24.5%,  increase in data
processing expense,  which was partially offset by a $5,000, or 13.2%,  decrease
in franchise  tax  expense.  The increase in data  processing  expense  resulted
primarily from an increase in item processing  transaction levels,  coupled with
increased costs attendant computer system upgrades.

Federal Income Taxes

The provision for federal income taxes increased by $8,000,  or 7.7%, during the
three  months ended  December 31, 1999,  as compared to the same period in 1998.
Net earnings before income taxes increased by $24,000,  or 7.7%, compared to the
three months ended  December 31, 1998. The effective tax rate was 33.4% for each
of the three months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.


Year 2000 Compliance Matters

As with all providers of financial  services,  the Association's  operations are
heavily  dependent  on  information  technology  systems.  During the three year
period  leading up to January 1, 2000, the  Association  addressed the potential
problems  associated  with the  possibility  that the computers  that control or
operate the information  technology system and  infrastructure may not have been
programmed to read four-digit date codes and, upon arrival of the year 2000, may
have  recognized  the two-digit code "00" as the year 1900,  causing  systems to
fail to function or to generate erroneous data.

As part of the awareness and assessment phases of its action plan related to the
Year 2000 problem,  the  Association  identified  the operating  systems that it
considers critical to the on-going operations of the Association.

                      AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Year 2000 Compliance Matters (continued)

Of the systems that the  Association  identified as  mission-critical,  the most
significant is the on-line core account processing system that is performed by a
third party service provider,  Intrieve, Inc. The service provider converted its
hardware to a new Year 2000 compliant system.  The  Association's  conversion to
this new system was completed during the fourth calendar quarter of 1998.


The Association realized no technology-related  problems upon arrival of January
1, 2000, and had no interruption  of services to its customers.  The Association
could  incur  losses if loan  payments  are  delayed  due to Year 2000  problems
affecting any major borrowers in the Association's  primary market area. Because
the Association's loan portfolio is highly diversified with regard to individual
borrowers and types of businesses and the  Association's  primary market area is
not significantly  dependent upon one employer or industry, the Association does
not  expect,  and to  date  has  not  realized,  any  significant  or  prolonged
difficulties that will affect net earnings or cash flow.

                         Independent Accountants' Report



Board of Directors
Community Investors Bancorp, Inc.
119 South Sandusky Avenue
Bucyrus, Ohio  44820


We  have  reviewed  the  accompanying   consolidated   statements  of  financial
condition, earnings, comprehensive income, and cash flows of Community Investors
Bancorp,  Inc. as of December 31, 1999, and for the three and six-month  periods
then ended. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute  of  Certified  Public  Accountants.  A review  of  interim  financial
information consists principally of applying analytical  procedures to financial
data and making  inquiries of persons  responsible  for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  the  objective  of which is the
expression of an opinion  regarding the financial  statements  taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material  modifications that should
be made to the  accompanying  financial  statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have  previously  audited,  in accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards,  the  consolidated  statement of  financial  condition as of June 30,
1999, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented  herein) and in our report
dated August 19, 1999, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial  statements.  In  our  opinion,  the  information  set  forth  in  the
accompanying  consolidated statement of financial condition as of June 30, 1999,
is fairly  stated,  in all material  respects,  in relation to the  consolidated
statement of financial condition from which it has been derived.
