Operating results from continuing business segments were $0.30 per diluted share for Class A and Class B shares combined, as compared to $0.29 for the first quarter of 2001, consistent with previously announced guidance that earnings in the first half of 2002 would be comparable with the first half of 2001. Advanta reported consolidated net income for the quarter of $4.2 million or $0.16 per share on a diluted basis for its Class A and Class B shares combined. This compares to a net loss of $29.4 million or $1.17 per share on a diluted basis reported for the first quarter of 2001. "During the quarter we furthered our initiatives designed to capitalize on the tremendous opportunity presented by the small business market," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Alter. "Talent has been drawn from all disciplines across the organization to develop new customer-centric ways to approach the market and our existing customers. The resulting products and services will be more finely attuned to our customers' individualized needs and preferences." Business Card results for the quarter reflect risk-adjusted revenues of 12.5% as compared to 12.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Consistent with the Company's expectations, charge-offs for the first quarter were 9.6% on an annualized basis and over 30 day delinquencies were 7.2% at March 31, 2002. The on-balance -more- sheet loan loss reserve as a percent of owned receivables was 10.7% at March 31, 2002. Business Cards managed receivables ended the quarter at just over $2 billion, as compared to $1.8 billion for first quarter 2001. Consolidated net income for the quarter includes an asset valuation charge associated with the Company's venture capital portfolio and net interest expense not associated with continuing business segments. The Company continued its stock repurchase plan, bringing total purchases to approximately 925,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock through April 22, 2002. The Company intends further stock repurchases under its previously announced repurchase plan.
