The $807 million-asset company said it expects to report $950,000 in quarterly expenses tied to integrating First Federal Bank in Lexington, Ky., according to a Wednesday regulatory filing. Community Bank also said it plans to close two of the five branches it inherited from First Federal as it seeks to cut expenses.

Community Bank said it expects the integration of First Federal to cost up to $1.3 million in total, with $800,000 going toward converting the failed bank’s data to a new system. Community Bank also said it expects the branch closings and systems integration, set for August, to reduce the costs of the operations it obtained from First Federal by 75%.

First Federal was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and sold in April. Community Bank bought $67.8 million of loans, of which $17.9 million were impaired, $4.8 million in cash and $4.1 million in deposits, the company said in its filing Wednesday.

Community Bank had $807 million in assets and 27 branches as of March 31, according to the FDIC.
