ADVANTA CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED)

March 31, 2007
(Unaudited)

In these notes to consolidated financial statements, “Advanta”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Advanta Corp. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

Note 1) Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) required for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the accounting for the allowance for receivable losses, securitization income, rewards programs and income taxes.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revised exposure draft,Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. The statement provides guidance for determining whether financial assets must first be transferred to a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”) to be derecognized, determining additional permitted activities for QSPEs, eliminating prohibitions on QSPEs’ ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments, and requires that interests related to transferred financial assets held by a transferor be initially recorded at fair value. In November 2006, the FASB reported that it expects to issue a revised exposure draft in the second quarter of 2007. Management will evaluate any potential impact of the final statement when it is available.

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. This statement amends SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125(“SFAS No. 140”),and eliminates the guidance in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1,Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized

8

Financial Assets, which provided that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets are not subject to SFAS No. 133. Under the new statement, an entity may irrevocably elect to measure a hybrid financial instrument that would otherwise require bifurcation at fair value in its entirety on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The statement clarifies which interest-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, and amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special purpose entity from holding certain derivative financial instruments. The statement is effective for all financial instruments that we acquire or issue after January 1, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, that amends SFAS No. 140. The statement clarifies when an obligation to service financial assets should be separately recognized as a servicing asset or a servicing liability, requires that a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits an entity with a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability to choose either the amortization method or fair value method for subsequent measurement. The adoption of this statement effective January 1, 2007 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,(“FIN No. 48”). The statement provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In accordance with the statement, before a tax benefit can be recognized, a tax position is evaluated using a threshold that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. When evaluating the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the interpretation provides that a company should presume the tax position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted this statement effective January 1, 2007, and as a result, recorded a $2.1 million reduction to the opening balance of retained earnings. The adoption did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007. See Note 10 for further discussion.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements.The statement defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The statement also establishes a framework for measuring fair value by creating a three-level fair value hierarchy that ranks the quality and reliability of information used to determine fair value, and requires new disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the hierarchy. We do not expect the adoption of this statement effective January 1, 2008 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This statement provides entities with an irrevocable option to report most financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election can be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The statement establishes

9

presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The statement is effective for Advanta on January 1, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this statement may have on our financial position or results of operations.

Key assumptions:
Discount rate		8.15% - 9.84	%		8.71% - 10.14	%
Monthly payment rate		20.04% - 23.10	%		22.75% - 25.00	%

Interest yield, net of interest earned by noteholders		7.29% - 7.30	%		8.86% - 9.95	%

There were no purchases of delinquent accounts from the securitization trust during the three months ended March 31, 2007 or 2006.

We used the following assumptions in measuring the fair value of retained interests in securitizations at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The assumptions listed

11

represent weighted averages of assumptions used for each securitization. The monthly payment rate assumptions used at both March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 result in cash flow projections over a three-month weighted average life of existing receivables for the retained interest-only strip valuation.

	March 31,			December 31,
	2007			2006
Discount rate		8.15% - 8.98	%		8.82% - 9.84	%
Monthly payment rate		20.04% - 23.10	%		21.29% - 23.10	%
Loss rate		3.85% - 4.24	%		3.70% - 4.07	%
Interest yield, net of interest earned by noteholders		7.29	%		7.30	%

In addition to the assumptions identified above, management also considered qualitative factors when assessing the fair value of retained interests in securitizations such as the potential volatility of the current market for similar instruments and the impact of the current economic environment on the performance of the receivables sold.

We have prepared sensitivity analyses of the valuations of retained interests in securitizations that were estimated using the assumptions identified above. The sensitivity analyses show the hypothetical effect on the estimated fair value of those assets of two unfavorable variations from the expected levels for each key assumption, independently from any change in another key assumption. Set forth below are the results of those sensitivity analyses on the valuation at March 31, 2007.

Effect on estimated fair value of the following hypothetical changes in key assumptions:
Discount rate increased 200 basis points	$	(4,214	)
Discount rate increased 400 basis points		(8,239	)
Monthly payment rate at 115% of base assumption		(1,126	)
Monthly payment rate at 130% of base assumption		(2,611	)
Loss rate at 110% of base assumption		(4,131	)
Loss rate at 125% of base assumption		(10,328	)
Interest yield, net of interest earned by noteholders, decreased 100 basis points		(10,731	)
Interest yield, net of interest earned by noteholders, decreased 200 basis points		(21,461	)

The objective of these hypothetical analyses is to measure the sensitivity of the estimated fair value of the retained interests in securitizations to changes in assumptions. The methodology used to calculate the estimated fair value in the analyses is a discounted cash flow analysis, which is the same methodology used to calculate the estimated fair value of the retained interests if quoted market prices are not available at each reporting date. These estimates do not factor in the impact of simultaneous changes in other key assumptions. The above scenarios do not reflect management’s expectation regarding the future direction of these rates, and they depict only certain possibilities out of a large set of possible scenarios.

Managed business credit card receivable data

Our managed business credit card receivable portfolio is comprised of both owned and securitized business credit card receivables. Performance on a managed receivable portfolio basis is useful and relevant 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. Credit quality data on the managed business credit card receivable portfolio was as follows:

	March 31,		December 31,		March 31,
	2007		2006		2006
Owned business credit card receivables	$	1,142,006	$	1,133,132	$	982,251

Note 7) Commitments and Contingencies

Advanta Corp. and its subsidiaries are involved in class action lawsuits, other litigation, claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or discontinued operations. Management believes that the aggregate loss, if any, resulting from existing litigation, claims and other legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations based on our current expectations regarding the ultimate resolutions of these existing actions after consultation with our attorneys. However, due to the inherent uncertainty in litigation and since the ultimate resolutions of our litigation, claims and other legal proceedings are influenced by factors outside of our control, it is reasonably possible that actual results will differ from our estimates.

Note 8) Capital Stock

Cash dividends per share of common stock declared were as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2007		2006
Class A Common Stock	$	0.2125	$	0.1134
Class B Common Stock		0.2550		0.1361

In April 2007, the Board of Directors of Advanta Corp. approved a three-for-two stock split in the form of a 50% stock dividend, on both the Class A and Class B Common Stock, to stockholders of record as of May 25, 2007. The stock dividend will be payable after the close of business on June 15, 2007. In addition, the Board of Directors of Advanta Corp. approved a 25% increase in the regular quarterly cash dividends on Class A and Class B Common Stock beginning with the dividend paid in the second quarter of 2007. The Board of Directors of Advanta Corp. also authorized the repurchase of up to 1.0 million shares of Advanta Corp.’s Class B Common Stock, or 1.5 million shares stated on a split-adjusted basis.

In January 2007, in connection with the exercise of stock options by an officer, we withheld 13 thousand shares of Class B Common Stock with a market value of $592 thousand to meet our minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.

Compensation limitation		338		33
Nondeductible expenses		181		171
Other		29		124
Income tax expense	$	13,828	$	13,716

Our effective tax rate was 39.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 38.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

We provide deferred taxes to reflect the estimated future tax effects of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and currently enacted tax laws. The net deferred tax asset is comprised of the following:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2007			2006
Deferred tax assets	$	60,771		$	66,059
Deferred tax liabilities		(27,982	)		(26,893	)

We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 effective January 1, 2007, and as a result, recorded a $2.1 million reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 was $25.6 million. These unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective tax rate. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. At January 1, 2007, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits included $7.7 million accrued for the potential payment of interest and $7.2 million accrued for the potential payment of penalties. We classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. As of January 1, 2007, we are subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for the tax years 2005 and 2006, and, with few exceptions, subject to state income tax examinations for the tax years 1992 through 2006. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 included $1.3 million related to tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts could significantly change in the year ending December 31, 2007. This amount represents a potential decrease in unrecognized tax benefits related to the resolution of state income tax audits that may conclude in 2007.

We have an ownership interest in Fleet Credit Card Services, L.P. related to our exit from the consumer card business in 1998. The gain associated with the original transfer of assets to Fleet Credit Card Services, L.P. was not subject to income tax. As of March 31, 2007, the cumulative gain on transfer of consumer credit card business and our deficit capital account in Fleet Credit Card Services, L.P. on a tax basis for which no deferred taxes have been provided is approximately $650 million, as the transaction structure remains nontaxable under current tax law.

At March 31, 2007, we had $3.8 million of capital loss carryforwards that are scheduled to expire in 2009, $7.4 million that are scheduled to expire in 2010, and $7.3 million that are scheduled to expire in 2011. Alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards do not expire.

OVERVIEW

Net income included the following business segment results for the three months ended March 31:

($ in thousands, except per share data)
	2007		2006
Pretax income:
Advanta Business Cards	$	34,811	$	35,293

Our Advanta Business Cards segment offers business credit cards that are competitively priced and typically include promotional pricing and rewards. We design our product offerings to selectively attract and retain high credit quality customers and to respond to the competitive environment. We experience the benefits of high credit quality customers through lower delinquency and credit loss rates and increases in transaction volume. Although promotional pricing reduces interest yield on new accounts during the initial promotional periods, we expect the yield to increase as the introductory periods expire. Advanta Business Cards pretax income of $34.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was essentially unchanged when compared to pretax income of $35.3 million for the same period of 2006, despite the impact of lower interest yields and higher amortization of deferred origination costs associated with the increase in new customers and receivables added in 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. The rate of new customer and receivables growth increased the percentage of customers in the receivable portfolio with competitive and promotional pricing and therefore reduced average interest yields in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. The impact of lower yields on owned and securitized receivables was largely offset by higher transaction volume, improved asset quality resulting in decreases in credit loss rates on owned and securitized receivables, and a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of owned and securitized receivables.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have identified accounting for allowance for receivable losses, securitization income, rewards programs and income taxes as our most critical accounting policies and estimates because they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are inherently subjective and are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Changes in estimates could have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. These accounting policies and estimates are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

ADVANTA BUSINESS CARDS

Advanta Business Cards originates new accounts directly and through the use of third parties. The following table provides key statistical information on our business credit card portfolio. Credit quality statistics for the business credit card portfolio are included in the “Provision and Allowance for Receivable Losses” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

	Three Months Ended
($ in thousands)	March 31,
	2007		2006
Average owned receivables	$	1,284,900	$	929,795
Average securitized receivables	$	4,152,857	$	2,957,309
Customer transaction volume	$	3,389,065	$	2,733,922
New account originations		96,781		82,617
Average number of active accounts(1)		848,375		649,384
Ending number of accounts at March 31		1,191,820		921,841

(1) Active accounts are defined as accounts with a balance at month-end. Active account statistics do not include charged-off accounts. The statistics reported above are the average number of active accounts for the three months ended March 31.

The increase in new account originations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 is due primarily to the efficiency and size of account acquisition campaigns. Based on our current marketing plans and strategies for the remainder of 2007 and on our results to date, we expect to originate over 300 thousand new accounts in the year ending December 31, 2007, and we expect owned and securitized business credit card receivables to grow between 20% and 25% for the year ending December 31, 2007.

The components of pretax income for Advanta Business Cards are as follows:

	Three Months Ended
($ in thousands)	March 31,
	2007			2006
Net interest income on owned interest-earning assets	$	27,243		$	22,786
Noninterest revenues		84,326			81,338
Provision for credit losses		(10,083	)		(9,334	)
Operating expenses		(66,675	)		(59,497	)
Pretax income	$	34,811		$	35,293

Net interest income on owned interest-earning assets increased $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. The increase in net interest income on owned interest-earning assets was due primarily to an increase in average owned business credit card receivables, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield earned on our business credit card receivables as a result of an increase in the percentage of customers in the receivable portfolio with competitive and promotional pricing as compared to the same period of 2006. Average owned business credit card receivables increased $355 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006.

Noninterest revenues include securitization income, servicing revenues, interchange income and other revenues, and are reduced by rewards costs. Noninterest revenues increased $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 due primarily to higher merchandise sales transaction volume that resulted in higher interchange income and increased volume of securitized receivables that resulted in higher servicing fees, partially offset by higher rewards costs and lower securitization income. Securitization income decreased for

19

the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 due primarily to a decrease in yields on securitized receivables and an increase in the floating interest rates earned by noteholders, partially offset by growth in average securitized receivables and a decrease in the net principal charge-off rates on securitized receivables.

The increase in provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 was due primarily to the increase in average owned business credit card receivables, partially offset by the improved credit quality of the portfolio. See “Provision and Allowance for Receivable Losses” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for more detailed discussion and a table of credit quality data.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased as compared to the same period of 2006 due primarily to higher salaries and employee benefits and other operating expenses resulting from the growth in new accounts and owned and securitized receivables, increases in executive compensation and higher employee stock option expense. In addition, operating expenses increased due to costs related to the pilot of new outsourcing initiatives in the three months ended March 31, 2007.

INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

Total interest income increased $10.1 million to $48.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. The increase in total interest income was due primarily to an increase in average balances of owned business credit card receivables and investments and an increase in average yields earned on our investments, partially offset by a decrease in the average yields earned on our business credit card receivables. Yields on business credit card receivables decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 as a result of an increase in the percentage of customers in the receivable portfolio with competitive and promotional pricing as compared to the same period of 2006. Based on expected levels of receivables growth in the year ending December 31, 2007 and planned marketing strategies, we expect the average yield earned on business credit card receivables for the year ending December 31, 2007 to continue to decrease as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006, but the amount of decrease in average yield is expected to be less than the amount of decrease experienced in 2006 as compared to 2005.

Total interest expense increased $6.6 million to $22.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. The increase in total interest expense was due primarily to an increase in our average deposits outstanding and an increase in the average cost of funds on deposits resulting from the interest rate environment. Average deposits increased $271 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006.

The following table provides an analysis of interest income and expense data, average balance sheet data, net interest spread and net interest margin. The net interest spread represents the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin represents net interest earnings divided by total interest-earning assets. Interest income includes late fees on business credit card receivables.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR RECEIVABLE LOSSES

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, provision for credit losses on a consolidated basis increased $799 thousand to $10.1 million as compared to the same period of 2006. The provision for interest and fee losses increased $408 thousand to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. The increase in provisions for credit losses and interest and fee losses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 was due primarily to an increase in average owned business credit card receivables of $355 million, partially offset by improved credit quality of the portfolio, which is evident in lower delinquency and charge-off rates. The improvement in delinquency and charge-off rates reflects the composition of the portfolio that includes more high credit quality customers. To a much lesser extent, charge-off rates for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were benefited by a higher level of recoveries from sales of charged-off receivables as compared

21

to the same period of 2006. The comparison of charge-off rates for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 is also impacted by the change in bankruptcy law on October 17, 2005 that benefited charge-off rates in the first half of 2006 because it resulted in a surge in bankruptcy petition filings and charge-offs in 2005 that we otherwise would have expected to occur in later periods, including the first half of 2006.

There was no significant change in the level of allowance for receivable losses at March 31, 2007 as compared to December 31, 2006. The allowance for receivable losses on business credit card receivables was $50.0 million as of March 31, 2007, or 4.38% of owned receivables, as compared to an allowance of $49.7 million, or 4.39% of owned receivables, as of December 31, 2006. Owned business credit card receivables were $1.1 billion at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Although charge-off levels are not always predictable since they are impacted by the economic environment and other factors beyond our control and there may be month-to-month or quarterly variations in losses or delinquencies, we expect the charge-off rates on owned business credit card receivables for the year ending December 31, 2007 to be in a range of 3.00% to 3.30% as compared to 3.19% for the year ended December 31, 2006. We base this expectation on the level of delinquent receivables at March 31, 2007, the composition of the portfolio and the expected level of growth in receivables.

SECURITIZATION INCOME

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. Securitizations impacted the following line items on the consolidated income statements:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
($ in thousands)	2007		2006
Securitization income	$	23,511	$	33,578
Interest income (discount accretion)		5,106		3,982
Interchange income		42,414		33,714
Servicing revenues		20,376		13,682
Total	$	91,407	$	84,956

Our retained interests in securitizations entitle us to the excess spread on the securitized receivables. Excess spread represents income-related cash flows on securitized receivables net of noteholders’ interest, servicing fees, and credit losses. Fair value estimates used in the recognition of securitization income include cash flow estimates of interest income on securitized receivables in excess of interest expense (interest earned by noteholders), servicing fees and credit losses on securitized receivables.

Securitization income decreased $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. The decrease in securitization income was due primarily to a decrease in yields on securitized receivables and an increase in the floating interest rates earned by noteholders, partially offset by growth in average securitized receivables and a decrease in the net principal charge-off rates on securitized receivables. The trends in yields and net principal charge-offs are similar to those described in the “Interest Income and Expense” and “Provision and Allowance for Receivable Losses” sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The increase in the floating interest rates earned by noteholders for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 resulted from the interest rate environment. Securitization income in the three months ended March 31, 2006 included a $1.3 million unfavorable valuation adjustment to the retained interest-only strip related primarily to the timing of bankruptcy charge-offs subsequent to the change in bankruptcy law in late 2005 and its impact on estimated future cash flows over the three-month weighted average life of the existing securitized receivables at March 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005. Our future expectations for yields on securitized receivables are similar to those in owned business credit card receivables as discussed in the “Interest Income and Expense” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Managed Receivable Data

In addition to evaluating the financial performance of the Advanta Business Cards segment under GAAP, we evaluate Advanta Business Cards’ performance on a managed basis. Our managed business credit card receivable portfolio is comprised of both owned and securitized business credit card receivables. We believe that performance on a managed basis provides useful supplemental information to investors 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

24

additional information useful in understanding the performance of the retained interests in securitizations.

The following tables provide managed data for Advanta Business Cards and a reconciliation of the managed data to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures:

In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2006 includes a $1.3 million unfavorable valuation adjustment to retained interests in securitizations as an increase to provision for credit losses.

25

SERVICING REVENUES

Servicing revenues were $20.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and $13.7 million for the same period of 2006. The increase in servicing revenues was due to increased volume of securitized business credit card receivables.

Interchange income includes interchange fees on both owned and securitized business credit cards. The increase in interchange income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 was due primarily to higher merchandise sales transaction volume. The average interchange rate was 2.2% in both of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

The increase in cash back rewards for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 was due primarily to higher merchandise sales transaction volume and higher average number of business credit card accounts in the cash back rewards programs. The increase in business rewards for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 was due primarily to higher merchandise sales transaction volume. Both periods include changes in estimates of costs of future reward redemptions based on changes in experiences in redemption rates and the costs of business rewards redeemed, and/or changes in the rewards programs. Changes in estimates increased other revenues $400 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to an increase of $500 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Investment securities gains, net, include realized and unrealized gains and losses on venture capital investments reflecting the market conditions for those investments in each respective period, as well as realized gains and losses on the sale of other investments. We had a net gain of $461 thousand on venture capital investments for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to a net gain of $330 thousand for the same period of 2006.

In the three months ended March 31, 2007, one of our bank subsidiaries sold Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance assessment credits to a third-party bank at a gain of $920 thousand, which is included in other revenues.

Total operating expenses	$	66,802	$	59,639

Salaries and employee benefits increased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 due primarily to personnel hired to support growth in owned and securitized receivables and the number of new accounts, increases in executive compensation, and higher employee stock option expense due to the value of stock options granted in the second quarter of 2006.

Amounts paid to third parties to acquire business credit card accounts and certain other origination costs are deferred and netted against any related business credit card origination fee, and the net amount is amortized on a straight-line basis over a privilege period of one year. Amortization of deferred origination costs, net, increased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 due primarily to an increase in new account originations, partially offset by a decrease in our average acquisition cost per account.

External processing expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 due primarily to an increase in the number of accounts and higher transaction volume.

Professional fees increased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 due primarily to costs related to the pilot of new outsourcing initiatives.

Fraud expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 due primarily to growth in owned and securitized receivables and lower fraud recoveries associated with certain types of fraud in the credit card market.

LITIGATION CONTINGENCIES

Advanta Corp. and its subsidiaries are involved in class action lawsuits, other litigation, claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or discontinued operations. Management believes that the aggregate loss, if any, resulting from existing litigation, claims and other legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations based on our current expectations regarding the ultimate resolutions of these existing actions after consultation with our attorneys. However, due to the inherent uncertainty in litigation and since the ultimate resolutions of our litigation, claims and other legal proceedings are influenced by factors outside of our control, it is reasonably possible that actual results will differ from our estimates.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was as follows for the three months ended March 31:

($ in thousands)

	2007			2006
Income tax expense	$	13,828		$	13,716
Effective tax rate		39.2	%		38.5	%

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased as compared to the same period of 2006 due to an increase in anticipated levels of certain nondeductible expenses.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48 that provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In accordance with the statement, before a tax benefit can be recognized, a tax position is evaluated using a threshold that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. When evaluating the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, a company should presume the tax position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 effective January 1, 2007, and as a result, recorded a $2.1 million reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. The adoption did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate for the three months ending March 31, 2007.

We have an ownership interest in Fleet Credit Card Services, L.P. related to our exit from the consumer credit card business in 1998. The gain associated with the original transfer of assets to Fleet Credit Card Services, L.P. was not subject to income tax. As of March 31, 2007, the cumulative gain on transfer of consumer credit card business and our deficit capital account in Fleet Credit Card Services, L.P. on a tax basis for which no deferred taxes have been provided is approximately $650 million, as the transaction structure remains nontaxable under current tax law.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Off-balance sheet business credit card securitizations provide a significant portion of our funding and they are one of our primary sources of liquidity. At March 31, 2007, off-balance sheet securitized receivables represented 65% of our funding. Our credit risk in the securitized receivables is limited to the amount of our retained interests in securitizations. We had securitized business credit card receivables of $4.4 billion at March 31, 2007 and $4.1 billion at December 31, 2006.

See “Securitization Income” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for discussion of income related to securitizations. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for the key assumptions used in estimating the fair value of retained interests in securitizations as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

In the three months ended March 31, 2007, we completed additional business credit card securitizations. The revolving periods for those securitizations extend to the following dates:

	Noteholder
	Principal			Coupon	Scheduled End of
($ in thousands)	Balance			Type	Revolving Period

2007-D1		25,000		Floating	May 31, 2009

(1) A portion of the noteholder principal balance of securitized receivables as of March 31, 2007 was owned by Advanta and included in accounts receivable from securitizations on the consolidated balance sheet. The principal balances owned by Advanta are subordinated to the other noteholders’ interests.

The level of investment-grade notes outstanding at March 31, 2007 issued as part of the AdvantaSeries de-linked securitization structure, and our ability to issue and hold additional AdvantaSeries non-investment grade notes, provides additional capacity for future securitization issuances in excess of our expected securitization funding needs through December 31, 2007. The de-linked structure provides flexibility to issue different classes of asset-backed securities with varying maturities, sizes, and terms based on our funding needs and prevailing market conditions.

We have a $200 million committed commercial paper conduit facility through June 2007 that provides off-balance sheet funding, of which $90 million was used at March 31, 2007. We have a second $150 million committed commercial paper conduit facility through January 2008 that provides off-balance sheet funding, all of which was used at March 31, 2007. Upon the expiration of these facilities, management expects to obtain the appropriate level of replacement funding under similar terms and conditions.

In August 2005, the FASB issued a revised exposure draft,Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. The statement provides guidance for determining whether financial assets must first be transferred to a QSPE to be derecognized, determining additional permitted activities for QSPEs, eliminating prohibitions on QSPEs’ ability to hold passive derivative financial instruments, and requires that interests related to transferred financial assets held by a transferor be initially recorded at fair value. In November 2006, the FASB reported that it expects to issue a revised

29

exposure draft in the second quarter of 2007. Management will evaluate any potential impact of the final statement when it is available.

MARKET RISK SENSITIVITY

We measure our interest rate risk using a rising rate scenario and a declining rate scenario. We estimate net interest income using a third party software model that uses standard income modeling techniques. We measure the effect of interest rate risk on our managed net interest income, which includes net interest income on owned assets and net interest income on securitized receivables. The measurement of managed net interest income in addition to net interest income on owned assets is meaningful because our securitization income fluctuates with yields on securitized receivables and interest rates earned by securitization noteholders. Both increasing and decreasing rate scenarios assume an instantaneous shift in interest rates and measure the corresponding change in expected net interest income as compared to a base case scenario that includes management’s current expectations of future interest rate movements. We estimated that our net interest income would change as follows over a twelve-month period:

	March 31,			December 31,
	2007			2006
Estimated percentage increase (decrease) in net interest income on owned assets:
Assuming 200 basis point increase		11	%		12	%
Assuming 200 basis point decrease		(2	)%		(6	)%
Estimated percentage increase (decrease) in net interest income on securitized receivables:
Assuming 200 basis point increase		(9	)%		(8	)%
Assuming 200 basis point decrease		19	%		15	%
Estimated percentage increase (decrease) in net interest income on managed assets:
Assuming 200 basis point increase		(4	)%		(3	)%
Assuming 200 basis point decrease		14	%		10	%

Our managed net interest income decreases in a rising rate scenario due to the variable rate funding of the majority of our off-balance sheet securitized receivables and the portion of the business credit card portfolio that is effectively at a fixed rate because of the nature of the pricing of the accounts or because the customer pays their balance in full each month. Our business credit card receivables include interest rate floors that cause our managed net interest income to increase in the declining rate scenario. Changes in the composition of our balance sheet, the interest rate environment, business credit card pricing terms and securitization funding strategies have also impacted the results of the net interest income sensitivity analyses as of March 31, 2007 as compared to the results as of December 31, 2006.

The above estimates of net interest income sensitivity alone do not provide a comprehensive view of our exposure to interest rate risk and are not necessarily indicative of potential changes in our owned, securitized and managed net interest income. Additional factors such as changes in the portfolio, customer behavior, marketing strategies and funding strategies also affect owned, securitized and managed net interest income and accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. The quantitative risk information is limited by the parameters and assumptions utilized in generating the results. These analyses are useful only when viewed within the context of the parameters and assumptions used. The above rate scenarios do not reflect management’s expectation regarding the future direction of interest rates, and they depict only two possibilities out of a large set of possible scenarios.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

At March 31, 2007, we had a high level of liquidity including $39.9 million of cash and $504.1 million of federal funds sold. At March 31, 2007, we also had receivables held for sale and investments available for sale that could be sold to generate additional liquidity. At March 31, 2007, we had $133.7 million of subordinated trust assets held at non-bank subsidiaries that were rated BB by Standard & Poor’s and Ba2 by Moody’s Investor Service that could be sold or borrowed against to generate additional liquidity.

As shown on the statements of cash flows, our operating activities generated $124.2 million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 2007 due primarily to the proceeds from receivables sold in excess of the increase in receivables held for sale, excess spread and servicing revenues related to securitized receivables, interchange income, and interest and fee income on owned receivables, partially offset by operating expenses, interest expense and costs of rewards programs. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our operating activities generated $74.3 million of cash and were impacted by the timing of securitization transactions. We expect to fund future growth and continuing operations with off-balance sheet securitizations, deposits, other borrowings, and sources of operating cash flow, including excess spread and servicing revenues related to securitized receivables, interchange income, and interest and fee income on owned receivables.

Our access to unsecured, institutional debt is limited since Advanta Corp.’s debt rating is not investment grade. However, we do have access to a diversity of funding sources. Our components of funding were as follows:

	March 31, 2007					December 31, 2006
($ in thousands)	Amount		%			Amount		%
Off-balance sheet securitized receivables(1)	$	4,300,206		65	%	$	3,932,732		63	%
Deposits		1,350,096		21			1,365,138		22
Debt		226,820		3			227,126		4
Subordinated debt payable to preferred securities trust		103,093		2			103,093		2
Equity		585,871		9			567,161		9
Total	$	6,566,086		100	%	$	6,195,250		100	%

(1) Excludes our ownership interest in the noteholder principal balance of securitizations (subordinated trust assets) that are held on-balance sheet and classified as retained interests in securitizations.

As shown above in the components of funding table, off-balance sheet securitizations provide a significant portion of our funding and are one of our primary sources of liquidity. See “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion of off-balance sheet securitizations and their impact on our liquidity, capital resources and financial condition.

The parent company, Advanta Corp., had $63.8 million of owned business credit card receivables at March 31, 2007. In April 2007, we entered into a secured borrowing agreement using the business credit card receivables as collateral up to a maximum of $100 million. We intend to use borrowings from this agreement to fund receivables growth at nonbank entities.

In April 2007, the Board of Directors of Advanta Corp. approved a three-for-two stock split in the form of a 50% stock dividend, on both the Class A and Class B Common Stock, to stockholders of record as of May 25, 2007. The stock dividend will be payable after the close of business on June 15, 2007. In addition, the

31

Board of Directors of Advanta Corp. approved a 25% increase in the regular quarterly cash dividends on Class A and Class B Common Stock beginning with the dividend paid in the second quarter of 2007. We expect to fund the increase in dividends with sources of operating cash flows. The Board of Directors of Advanta Corp. also authorized the repurchase of up to 1.0 million shares of Advanta Corp.’s Class B Common Stock, or 1.5 million shares stated on a split-adjusted basis. We expect to fund the repurchase of shares with existing liquidity.

Advanta Corp. and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation, class action lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business or discontinued operations. Management believes that the aggregate loss, if any, resulting from existing litigation, claims and other legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or capital resources based on our current expectations regarding the ultimate resolutions of these actions. However, due to the inherent uncertainty in litigation and since the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings are influenced by factors outside of our control, it is reasonably possible that the estimated cash flow related to these proceedings may change or that actual results will differ from our estimates.

We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 effective January 1, 2007, and as a result, recorded a $2.1 million reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 was $25.6 million. We estimate that approximately $1.3 million of this liability may be payable in 2007. We are unable to reasonably estimate the amount or timing of payments for the remainder of the liability. Other than the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, there have been no significant changes to the amounts that were disclosed in the contractual obligations table included in the “Liquidity, Capital Resources and Analysis of Financial Condition” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Our bank subsidiaries are subject to regulatory capital requirements and other regulatory provisions that restrict their ability to lend and/or pay dividends to Advanta Corp. and its affiliates. Advanta Bank Corp. issues and primarily funds our business purpose credit cards. Advanta Bank Corp. paid dividends to Advanta Corp. of $25 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. Advanta National Bank paid a dividend of $39.1 million and return of capital of $28 million to Advanta Corp. in the three months ended March 31, 2007, after having received prior approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. At March 31, 2007, Advanta Bank Corp.’s combined total capital ratio (combined Tier I and Tier II capital to risk-weighted assets) was 22.35% as compared to 21.37% at December 31, 2006. At both dates, Advanta Bank Corp. had capital in excess of levels a bank is required to maintain to be classified as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Prior to our exit from the mortgage business in the first quarter of 2001, Advanta National Bank issued and funded a large portion of our mortgage business. In April 2007, we received approval for the conversion of Advanta National Bank’s national bank charter to a Delaware state chartered bank, Advanta Bank. The conversion of the charter was effective May 3, 2007. This bank subsidiary’s operations are currently not material to our consolidated operating results. Our insurance subsidiaries are also subject to certain capital and dividend rules and regulations as prescribed by state jurisdictions in which they are authorized to operate. Management believes that these restrictions, for both bank and insurance subsidiaries, will not have an adverse effect on Advanta Corp.’s ability to meet its cash obligations due to the current levels of liquidity and diversity of funding sources.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of

32

the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). In addition, other written or oral communications provided by Advanta from time to time may contain “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead are based on certain assumptions by management and represent only our belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside our control. Forward-looking statements may include, among others: statements about anticipated growth in credit card accounts and receivables; interest yields; expected cost of funds; net principal charge-off rates; estimated values of and anticipated cash flows from our retained interests in securitizations; our ability to replace existing credit facilities and securitization financing when they expire or terminate; income tax uncertainties; realizability of net deferred tax asset; expected levels of liquidity and capital; anticipated outcome and effects of litigation and other future expectations of Advanta.

Forward-looking statements are subject to various assumptions, risks and uncertainties which change over time, and speak only as of the date they are made. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words or phrases such as “is anticipated,” “are expected to,” “are estimated to be,” “intend to,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “projected,” “may,” or other similar words or phrases. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking information except as required by law. However, any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC, including our Reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, should be consulted. We caution readers that actual results may be materially different from those in the forward-looking information. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to:

(1)	factors affecting our net interest income on owned and securitized receivables, including fluctuations in the volume of receivables and the range and timing of pricing offers to customers;
(2)	competitive pressures, including product development and pricing, among financial institutions;
(3)	political conditions, social conditions, monetary and fiscal policies and general economic and other environmental conditions that affect the level of new account originations, customer spending, delinquencies and charge-offs;
(4)	factors affecting fluctuations in the number of accounts or receivable balances, including the retention of customers after promotional pricing periods have expired;
(5)	interest rate fluctuations;
(6)	the level of expenses;
(7)	the timing of the securitizations of our receivables;
(8)	the effects of government regulation, including restrictions and limitations imposed by banking laws, regulators, and examinations;
(9)	effect of, and changes in, tax laws, rates, regulations and policies;
(10)	effect of legal and regulatory developments, including changes in bankruptcy laws and regulations and the ultimate resolution

33

of industry-related judicial proceedings relating to the legality of certain interchange rates;

(11)	relationships with customers, significant vendors and business partners;
(12)	difficulties or delays in the development, acquisition, production, testing and marketing of products or services, including the ability and cost to obtain intellectual property rights or a failure to implement new products or services when anticipated;
(13)	the amount and cost of financing available to us;
(14)	the ratings on the debt of Advanta Corp. and its subsidiaries;
(15)	the effects of changes in accounting policies or practices as may be required by changes in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles;
(16)	the impact of litigation, including judgments, settlements and actual or anticipated insurance recoveries for costs or judgments;
(17)	the proper design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures; and
(18)	the ability to attract and retain key personnel.

The cautionary statements provided above are being made pursuant to the provisions of the Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Act for any such forward-looking information. Also see, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II of this report for further discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to “Item 2-Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Report on Form 10-Q under the heading “Market Risk Sensitivity.”

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

An evaluation was performed by management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
