While pro forma operating income for the Company was up 30% year on year before the carrying value adjustments, the Company reported a net loss for the quarter of $192.7 million or $7.64 per share. This was largely because Advanta National Bank ("ANB ANB American National Biography

 partially offset by Business Card results.

The modified guidance also reflects that while Business Card will continue to grow, the Company does not anticipate maintaining the same levels of Business Card growth during the second half of the year as it achieved during the first half of the year. Together with the pro forma operating results of $1.28 through June June: see month.  30, 2000, the pro forma operating results for the full year are expected to be in the range of $2.18-$2.38 per diluted share, a 7% to 17% increase from the $2.04 earned in 1999.

Net income for Advanta Business Cards was $14.8 million this quarter, assuming an effective tax rate of 38.5%. This represents a 73% increase over net income of $8.6 million reported for the first quarter of 2000 and a 206% increase over net income of $4.8 million for the second quarter of 1999. This increase is primarily due to growth in the number of accounts and receivables Receivables

An asset designation applicable to all debts, unsettled transactions or other monetary obligations owed to a company by its debtors or customers. Receivables are recorded by a company's accountants and reported on the balance sheet, and they and include all debts owed
.

Originations increased approximately 91% this quarter as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Managed receivables for Advanta Business Cards at the end of the quarter were $1.4 billion, an increase of 37% year to date and 61% over the second quarter of 1999.

On a basis that is essentially the same as a portfolio lender, net income for Advanta Mortgage was $5.7 million excluding carrying value adjustments, as compared to $8.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The decrease year on year is substantially due to lower mortgage loan volumes that resulted primarily from the implementation of the regulatory agreements.

This was partially offset by higher yields on direct originations and an increase in subservicing revenues from growth in the subservicing portfolio. The weighted average yield of mortgage loans directly originated in the second quarter increased by 34 basis points over the first quarter. Subservicing revenues increased due to continued growth in the subservicing portfolio which was $13.6 billion at the end of the second quarter.

ANB recorded a $214 million non-cash charge to reduce the June 30 carrying value of its retained interests in mortgage securitizations.

Also pursuant to the agreement with the OCC, ANB recorded a $22 million non-cash charge to increase its allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2000.

After giving effect to the terms of the agreement with the OCC, ANB's on-balance sheet allowance for loan losses will represent 8.66% of total outstanding mortgage loans held for investment and the estimated liabilities for anticipated charge-offs, netted against the I/O and subordinated trust assets, will represent 8.21% of outstanding off-balance sheet mortgage loans at June 30, 2000.

Footnotes for pro forma adjustments:

(a)    Represents the adjustment to interest income and interest
       expense as if the securitized mortgage loans were still owned
       by Advanta and remained on the balance sheet for the period
       presented.

(b)    Represents the reclassification of net gains or losses
       recognized on the sale of mortgage loans for the period.

(c)    Represents the reclassification of servicing revenues on
       securitized mortgage loans for the period presented.

(d)    Represents the reclassification of securitization
       costs incurred by Advanta.

(e)    Represents the amount by which the provision for credit losses
       would have increased had the securitized mortgage loans
       remained on the balance sheet and the provision for credit
       losses on securitized receivables been equal to actual reported
       charge-offs.

(f)    Adjusted to exclude the pretax gains associated with Advanta
       Partners investments of $10,914 in the three months ending
       March 31, 2000 and the pretax reduction in the valuation of
       Advanta's retained interests in leasing securitizations of
       $9,500 during the three months ended March 31, 2000. Also
       adjusted income tax expense to normalized rate of 38.5%.

(g)    Adjusted to exclude carrying value adjustments to retained
       interests in securitizations, including contractual mortgage
       servicing rights, and loan loss reserves. Also adjusted income
       tax expense to normalized rate of 38.5%.
