On a basis that is essentially the same as a portfolio lender, net income for Advanta Mortgage was $9.5 million, as compared to $6.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase reflects higher yields on originations and an increase in subservicing revenues from growth in the subservicing portfolio. The weighted average yield of mortgage loans originated in the first quarter increased by 35 basis points over the fourth quarter of 1999. Advanta Mortgage's sub-serviced portfolio increased to $13.1 billion at the end of this quarter from $11.9 billion at the end of 1999.

Net income for Advanta Business Cards was $8.6 million this quarter compared to $3.3 million for the first quarter of 1999. This increase resulted principally from growth in the number of accounts and receivables Receivables
