Description of the Certificates and the Mortgage Loans

                  Advanta Mortgage Conduit Services, Inc. registered an issuance
of $1,000,000,000 in principal amount of Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates
on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), by the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File
No. 333-52351) (the "Registration Statement"). Pursuant to the Registration
Statement, Advanta Mortgage Loan Trust 1998-3 (the "Registrant" or the "Trust")
issued approximately $1,000,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its
Mortgage Loan Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 1998-3 (the "Certificates"), on
September 23, 1998 (the "Closing Date"). This Current Report on Form 8-K is
being filed to satisfy an undertaking to file copies of certain agreements
executed in connection with the issuance of the Certificates, the forms of which
were filed as Exhibits to the Registration Statement.

                  The Certificates were issued pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement") attached hereto as
Exhibit 4.1, dated as of September 1, 1998, among Advanta Mortgage Conduit
Services, Inc. (the "Company"), Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA, in its capacity as
Master Servicer (the "Master Servicer") and Bankers Trust Company of California,
N.A., in its capacity as Trustee (the "Trustee"). The Certificates consist of
four classes, the Class A-1 Group I Floating Rate Certificates (the "Class A-1
Certificates), the Class A-2 Group II Floating Rate Certificates (the "Class A-2
Certificates, and together with the Class A-1 Certificates, the "Class A
Certificates"), and the Class R Certificates (Residual Interest) (the "Class R
Certificates"). The Class A Certificates are the "Offered Certificates". The
Offered Certificates and the Class R Certificates are together referred to
herein as the "Certificates". The Certificates initially evidence, in the
aggregate, 100% of the undivided beneficial ownership interests in the Trust.

                  The assets of the Trust initially will include two investment
pools (each, a "Mortgage Loan Group" or "Group") of closed-end mortgage loans
(the "Mortgage Loans") secured by mortgages or deeds of trust (the "Mortgages")
on one-to-four family residential properties. The Class A-1 Certificates
represent undivided ownership interests in a pool of adjustable rate Mortgage
Loans secured by Mortgages which may be either in a first or in a junior lien
position as well as the proceeds of certain amounts on deposit with the Trustee.
The Class A-2 Certificates represent undivided ownership interests in a pool of
fixed rate Mortgage Loans secured by Mortgages which may be either in a first or
in a junior lien position.

                  Interest distributions on the Offered Certificates are based
on the Certificate Principal Balance thereof and the then applicable
Pass-Through Rate thereof.

                  The Class A-1 Certificates have an aggregate principal amount
of $500,000,000. The Class A-2 Certificates have an aggregate principal amount
of $500,000,000.
