In Brief: Source One Reports 98% Dip in Net Income

Source One Mortgage Services, a subsidiary of Fund American Enterprises, reported net income of $200,000 for the first quarter, down 98% from a year earlier.

Fund American earned $4.9 million, or 65 cents per share, for an 83% decline.

Much of Source One's slide was attributed to an after-tax loss on the sale of $17 billion in servicing rights to Chase Manhattan Mortgage this year.

Source One originated $641 million of mortgages in the first quarter, a 47% drop.

As of March 31, Source One had a servicing portfolio of $28.8 billion. This includes the $17 billion it sold to Chase, because Source One is subservicing the loans.
