PART 1
ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
The ADVANTA Mortgage Loan Trust 1997-4, (the "Trust" or "Issuer") is
a New York common law trust established as of December 1, 1997,
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing
Agreement") between ADVANTA Mortgage Conduit Services, Inc. as
sponsors (the "Sponsor") and ADVANTA Mortgage Corp. USA as Master
Servicer (the "Master Servicer") (together, the "Companies") and Bankers
Trust Company, acting thereunder not in its individual capacity but solely as
trustee (the "Trustee"). The Issuer's only purpose is the issuance of
$900,000,000.00 principal amount of ADVANTA Mortgage Loan Asset-
Backed Certificates, Series 1997-4, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class
A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6, Class A-7, Class A-8, Class A-9, Class M-1,
Class M-2 and Class B-1, (the "Certificates") and the subordinated
residual certificates pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
On December 18, 1997, the Sponsor sold $900,000,000.00 aggregate
principal amount of mortgage loans (the "Mortgage Loans"), to the
Issuer in exchange for the Certificates, and sold the Certificates
pursuant to a public offering, the underwriting of which was
co-managed by Lehman Brothers, J.P. Morgan & Co., Morgan Stanley Dean
Witter & Prudential Securities Incorporated. The Mortgage Loans and the
distributions thereon, along with certain insurance proceeds, certain
proceeds obtained on foreclosure and any investment income earned thereon
are the only significant assets of the Issuer. The Certificates represent
obligations solely of the Issuer. The Certificates were registered under a
Registration Statement (file no. 333-37107) on Form S-3 declared effective
on October 30, 1997.
ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
The Issuer neither owns nor leases any physical properties.
ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Master Servicer is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings
involving either the Issuer, the Trustee, the Sponsor or the Master Servicer
with respect to the Certificates or the Issuer's property.
ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matter has been submitted to a vote of the holders of beneficial interests
in the Issuer through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.
PART II
ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCK-
HOLDER MATTERS
The Trust is not an issuer of common stock in a corporation, although the
Certificates represent equity interest that has voting rights. The equity of
the Trust consists of the beneficial or ownership interest therein for which,
to the best knowledge of the Master Servicer, there is no established
public trading market.
As of March 4, 1999, there were approximately 6 holders of the Class A-1
Certificates, 10 holders of the Class A-2 Certificates, 3 holders of the
Class A-3 Certificates, 22 holders of the Class A-4 Certificates, 10 holders
of the Class A-5 Certificates, 1 holder of the Class A-6 Certificates,
12 holders of the Class A-7 Certificates, 7 holders of the Class A-8
Certificates, 3 holders of the Class A-9 Certificates, 2 holders of the
Class A-IO Certificates, 1 holder of the Class B-1 Certificates, 8 holders
of the Class M-1 Certificates, and 2 holders of the Class M-2 Certificates.
The number of the
holders includes individual participants in security position listings. As of
December 28, 1998, 12 monthly distributions had been made to the holders
of the Certificates.
ITEM 6 - SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not applicable.
ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATION
On December 18, 1997, the Issuer issued $146,039,000.00 aggregate
principal amount of Class A-1 Certificates having an adjustable rate,
and $91,159,000.00 aggregate principal amount of Class A-2 Certificates
having a pass-thru rate of 6.53% per annum, $33,579,000 aggregate
principal amount of Class A-3 Certificates having a pass-thu rate of 6.55%
per annum, $59,837,000 aggregate principal amount of Class A-4 Certificates
having a pass-thru rate of 6.66% per annum, $15,601,000 aggregate
principal amount of Class A-5 Certificates having a pass-thru rate of 6.72%
per annum, $41,285,000 aggregate principal amount of Class A-6 Certificates
having a pass-thru rate of 7.10% per annum, $50,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of Class A-7 Certificates having a pass-thru rate of 6.63% per
annum, $98,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Class A-8 Certificates
having an adjustable rate, $302,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Class
A-9 Certificates having an adjustable rate, $17,500,000 aggregate principal
amount of Class M-1 Certificates having a pass-thru rate of 7.04% per
annum, $30,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Class M-2 Certificates
having a pass-thru rate of 7.24% per annum, $15,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of Class B-1 Certificates having a pass-thru rate of 7.54% per
annum, which are collateralized by Mortgage Loans. The sale of the
Mortgage Loans to the Issuer, the issuance of the Certificates and the
simultaneous delivery of the Certificates to the Companies for sale pursuant
to a public offering, the underwriting of which was co-managed by Lehman
Brothers, J.P. Morgan & Co., Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, and Prudential
Securities Incorporated has been accounted for as a sale of the Certificates.
The value of the Certificates issued by the Issuer equaled the value of the
Mortgage Loans conveyed to the Issuer by the Companies, plus funds held in
the Prefunding Account (if any) and subsequently used to acquire additional
mortgage loans. Accordingly, there was no income, expense, gain or loss
resulting from the aforementioned transaction.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The Issuer's primary sources of funds with respect to the Certificates will be
receipts of interest on and principal of the Mortgage Loans, along with certain
insurance proceeds, certain proceeds obtained on foreclosure and any
investment income earned thereon. The respective management's of the
Companies believe that the Issuer will have sufficient liquidity and capital
resources to pay all amounts on the Certificates as they become due and
all other anticipated expenses of the Issuer. The Issuer does not have, nor
will it have in the future, any significant source of capital for payment of the
Certificates and its operating expenses other than the receipt of interest on
and principal of the mortgage loans, certain insurance proceeds and certain
proceeds obtained on foreclosure and any payments made by the Certificate
Insurer. The Issuer is a limited purpose trust. The Certificates represent
obligations solely of the Issuer.
ITEM 8 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
Not applicable.
ITEM 9 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There were no changes of accountants or disagreements on accounting or
financial disclosures between the Issuer and its accountants.

Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA had in effect fidelity bond coverage in the amount of $15 million
and mortgage contingent liability protection coverage in the amount of $5 million per
occurrence as of and during the year ended December 31, 1998. As discussed
in the accompanying Report of Management on Compliance with Minimum Servicing
Standards, Management is responsible for Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's compliance
with those minimum servicing standards and for maintaining a fidelity bond and errors
and omissions policies. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
management's assertion about Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's compliance
based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's compliance
with the minimum servicing standards and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal
determination on Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA's compliance with the minimum
servicing standards.
In our opinion, management's assertion that Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA complied with the
aforementioned minimum servicing standards and that Advanta Mortgage Corp. USA had in
effect fidelity bond coverage in the amount of $15 million and mortgage contingent liability
protection coverage in the amount of $5 million per occurrence as of and during the year
ended December 31, 1998 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
