Other Events There has been a change in the way Advanta Business Services Corp has been calculating the delinquency ratios. Beginning with the reporting period for this report and every month going forward, the delinquency ratios will only include those contracts that have any portions of their periodic scheduled payments remaining and have not come to maturity based on the stated terms of their lease or loan agreement. In some instances, once a contract comes to maturity, they may continue to make additional payments over and above the stated term as set forth in their lease or loan agreement. Prior to this month's reporting period, any portion of these additional payments were also included in the delinquency ratios. It has been concluded that once a contract has come to maturity based on the stated terms of their lease or loan agreements, they will have a contract principal balance of $0 and a corresponding cash balance remaining of $0. Therefore, no portion of these additional payments, if any, will be included in the delinquency ratio calculations. The delinquency ratios with and without the additional payments are listed below: Month ended March 31, 2000: >30 past due with additional >30 past due without (actual) March month-end ration 9.25% 9.22% 3 month rolling average: 10.30% 10.20% Item 7.
