In Brief: Mid Am Says Profits Off 11% in Quarter

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - Mid Am Inc. said its first-quarter income dropped 11.3% from the same period in 1994, to $5.8 million. Earnings per share declined to 30 cents from 34 cents.

Mid Am, which has $2 billion in assets, attributed the decline to a decrease in mortgage banking activities due to rising interest rates and increased competition.

Mortgage banking generated $500,000 in gains on the sale of loans in the first quarter, versus more than $2 million a year earlier, Mid Am said.
