    results of discontinued operations are also excluded, if
    applicable, since they are not indicative of what is expected from
    our continuing businesses on a prospective basis. A reconciliation
    of non-GAAP net income from core operations to GAAP net income is
    included in this press release.

(A) Prior to October 1, 2002, the billing and recognition of interest
    and fees was discontinued when the related receivable became 90
    days past due or upon notification of fraud, bankruptcy, death,
    hardship or credit counseling. Effective October 1, 2002, we
    continue to bill and recognize interest and fees on accounts when
    they become 90 days past due, and an additional allowance for
    receivable losses is established for the additional billings
    estimated to be uncollectible through a provision for interest and
    fee losses. The billing and recognition of interest and fees on
    fraudulent, bankrupt, deceased, hardship and credit counseling
    accounts is still discontinued upon receipt of notification of
    these events. Provisions for interest and fee losses are recorded
    as direct reductions to interest and fee income.

(B) Managed statistics are non-GAAP financial measures and represent
    the sum of owned (GAAP) business credit card statistics and
    securitized business credit card statistics. We believe that
    performance on a managed basis provides useful supplemental
    information because we retain interests in the securitized
    receivables and, therefore, we have a financial interest in and
    exposure to the performance of the securitized receivables.

RECONCILIATION OF MANAGED INCOME STATEMENT AND BALANCE SHEET MEASURES

TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(in thousands)

In addition to evaluating the financial performance of the Advanta Business Cards segment under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we evaluate Advanta Business Cards' performance on a managed basis. Our managed receivable portfolio is comprised of both owned and securitized business credit card receivables. We sell business credit card receivables through securitizations accounted for as sales under GAAP. We continue to own and service the accounts that generate the securitized receivables. Managed data presents performance as if the securitized receivables had not been sold. We believe that performance on a managed basis provides useful supplemental information because we retain interests in the securitized receivables and, therefore, we have a financial interest in and exposure to the performance of the securitized receivables. Revenue and credit data on the managed portfolio provides additional information useful in understanding the performance of the retained interests in securitizations.
