Item 5.  Other Events.

     On April 19, 1995 Advanta Corp. announced record quarterly earnings 
for the first quarter 1995 with net income of $30.8 million and earnings per 
share of $.74, increases of 24% and 21%, respectively, over the $24.9 million 
and $.61 per share results for the first quarter 1994.  Earnings for the 
fourth quarter 1994 totalled $28.6 million or $.70 per share.  From 
March 1994, the Company's portfolio of managed receivables increased 
by $3.2 billion or 59% to $8.6 billion at March 31, 1995.

Highlights for the first quarter include the following items:

     Average managed credit card receivables posted a 71% increase
     compared to a year ago.
     
     The managed credit card 30+ day delinquency rate came in at
     2.1%, compared to 2.0% in the fourth quarter 1994 and 2.3% in the
     first quarter last year.

     The charge-off rate on managed credit cards came in at 2.2%,
     compared to 2.1% for the fourth quarter of 1994 and 2.7% a
     year ago.

     The Company added nearly 378,000 new credit card accounts
     during the quarter compared to 226,000 in the first quarter
     of 1994.

     Return on equity remained healthy at 26.6% for the quarter.

     The managed net interest margin for the quarter fell to
     5.94% from 6.06% in the fourth quarter, and 7.38% in the
     comparable period of 1994 due to introductory pricing on
     credit cards.
     
     The operating expense ratio for the quarter fell 59 basis
     points from the fourth quarter to 3.01%, and was down from
     3.68% the same quarter last year.
