PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Advanta Business Services Corp. ("ABS") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advanta
Leasing Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation ("ALHC"). ALHC is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Advanta Corp., a Delaware corporation, ("Advanta Corp.") which is
a publicly-traded company based in Spring House, PA. ABS is in the business of
originating, acquiring and serving certain leases (the "Leases") and interests
in the equipment underlying the leases (the "Equipment"). Advanta Leasing
Receivables Corp. IV ("ALRC IV") and Advanta Leasing Receivables Corp. V ("ALRC
V," together with ALRC IV, the "Issuers") are wholly-owned subsidiaries of ABS
and were formed for the purpose of securitizing the Leases and the Equipment
through the issuance of debt securities (the "Notes"). The Issuers acquired
their rights to the Leases and Equipment either from ABS directly, pursuant to
the Master Contribution Agreement, dated as of May 1, 1997 or pursuant to one or
more sale agreements in each case between the Issuers and one or more affiliates
of ABS. On April 8, 1998, the Issuers issued notes entitled Equipment
Receivables Asset-Backed Notes, Series 1998-1 totalling $360,000,000 principal
amount of notes consisting of: the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, the
Class A-3 Notes, the Class A-4 Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes
(collectively, the "Offered Notes") and the Class D Notes (together with the
Offered Notes, the "Notes"). The assets of the Issuers consist primarily of
Leases, Equipment and a reserve account. The Notes were issued pursuant to the
Master Business Receivables Asset Backed Financing Facility Agreement (the
"Indenture"), dated as of May 1, 1997, by and among ABS, as servicer, Advanta
Leasing Receivables Corp. III and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee. The
Offered Notes were sold pursuant to a public offering, the underwriting of
which was co-managed by Salomon Smith Barney, Lehman Brothers Inc., Prudential
Securities Incorporated and Barclays Capital Inc. (collectively, the
"Underwriters"). The Notes represent asset-backed debt obligations of
the Issuers, as joint and several obligors. The Notes were registered under a
Registration Statement (file no. 333-38575) on Form S-1 declared effective on
or about April 8, 1998. As bankruptcy-remote entities, the Issuers' operations
are restricted so that (a) they do not engage in business with, or incur
liabilities to, any other entity (other than the Trustee on behalf of the
holders of the Notes) which may bring bankruptcy proceedings against the
Issuers and (b) the risk is diminished that they will be consolidated into the
bankruptcy proceedings of any other entity. The Issuers have no other assets
except the Leases and the Equipment, and proceeds thereof.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
None.

<PAGE> 4
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Issuers are not aware of any material pending legal proceedings
involving the Issuers, the Trustee or the Servicer with respect to the Notes or
the Issuers' property. However, ABS and the Issuers are indirect subsidiaries of
Advanta Corp.
On January 25, 1999 Advanta Corp. reported that on Friday, January 22,
1999, Fleet Financial Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates ("Fleet") filed
a complaint (the "Complaint") against Advanta Corp. and certain of its
affiliates relating to the transaction with Fleet which closed on February 20,
1998 in which Advanta Corp. contributed most of its consumer credit card
business to a limited liability company owned by Fleet (the "Fleet
Transaction"). The Complaint centers around post-closing adjustments to the
transaction and other matters relating to the Fleet Transaction.
Advanta Corp. believes that the lawsuit is inappropriate and without
merit and, on February 16, 1999 it filed its answer and counterclaims in which
it denies all of the substantive allegations in the Complaint and seeks damages
from Fleet. Advanta Corp. does not expect this suit to have any material adverse
financial impact on its business.
The ability of Advanta Corp.'s subsidiaries to honor their financial
and other obligations is to some extent influenced by the financial condition of
Advanta Corp. Such obligations primarily consist of the ABS's or the Issuers'
obligations to repurchase mortgage loans which are inconsistent with
representations and warranties set forth in certain agreements relating to Notes
issued by the Trust sponsored by ABS as well as the obligations of the ABS as
servicer pursuant to certain agreements relating to Notes issued by the Trust.
This Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected. The most significant among these risks
and uncertainties is the uncertainty of the legal process.
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 of the Issuers or the Notes through the solicitation of proxies or
otherwise.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
4
<PAGE> 5
The sole holder of ABS's Common Stock is ALHC. The sole holder of the
Issuers' Common Stock is ABS. There is currently no market for such Common Stock
nor is it anticipated that such a market will develop.
As of March 26, 1999, there were approximately 16 holders of the Class
A-1 Notes, 18 holders of the Class A-2 Notes, 3 holders of the Class A-3 Notes,
19 holders of the Class A-4 Notes, 2 holders of the Class B Notes and 2 holders
of the Class C Notes. The number of holders includes individual participants in
security position listings. As of December 15, 1998, 8 monthly distributions had
been made to the holders of the Notes.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not Applicable.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
On April 8, 1998, the Issuers issued $72,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of Class A-1 Notes having a fixed rate per annum of 5.77%, $190,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Class A-2 Notes having a fixed rate per annum of
5.82%, $23,300,000 aggregate principal amount of Class A-3 Notes having a fixed
rate per annum of 5.93%, $45,900,000 aggregate principal amount of Class A-4
Notes having a fixed rate per annum of 5.98%, $18,938,000 aggregate principal
amount of Class B Notes having a fixed rate per annum of 6.10% and $9,862,000
aggregate principal amount of Class C Notes having a fixed rate per annum of
6.49%, which were collateralized by the Leases, Equipment and the reserve
account. The Class D Notes were not publicly offered and are principal only
notes which do not bear interest. The sale of the Leases and Equipment to the
Issuers, the issuance of the Notes and the simultaneous delivery of the Notes to
the Underwriters, has been accounted for as a sale. The value of the Notes
issued by the Issuers equaled the value of the assets pledged as collateral for
the Notes. Accordingly, there was no income to the Issuers resulting from the
aforementioned transaction.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The Issuers' primary sources of funds with respect to the Notes will be
the receipt of interest on and principal with respect to the Leases and
Equipment. The management of ABS believes that the Issuers will have sufficient
liquidity and capital resources to pay all amounts on the Notes as they become
due and all other anticipated expenses of the Issuers. The Issuers do not have,
nor will they have in the future, any significant sources of capital for payment
of the Notes and its operating expenses other than the receipt of
5
<PAGE> 6
interest on and principal on the Leases and Equipment. The Notes represent
asset-backed debt obligations solely of the Issuers.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL DATA
Not Applicable.
ITEM 9. CHANGE IN AND DISAGREEMENTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There were no changes of accountants or disagreements on according or
financial disclosures between the Issuers and its accountants.
