Liquidity

At June 30, 1998, Advanta had approximately $475 million in unrestricted cash and equivalents at the parent and $580 million of unrestricted cash and equivalents at its two banks.

The decrease in cash and equivalents at the company's banks during this quarter is primarily attributable to the following previously announced transactions: (1) Advanta National Bank repurchased approximately $93 million of its debt, and (2) Advanta National Bank retained $445 million of notes issued in connection with the company's second quarter securitization of mortgage receivables.

These transactions are part of the company's ongoing plan to efficiently manage its liquidity while maintaining funding flexibility.

The company's operating expenses this quarter totaled $74.5 million, or 3.86% of average managed receivables. As the company's managed portfolio continues to grow during the year, it is expected that the ratio of operating expenses to managed receivables will be within the range of 3.60% to 3.90%.
