Pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of August 1, 2000, between Advanta Bank Corp. (the Bank) as seller and the Transferor as purchaser, the Bank transferred all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under certain credit card receivables arising from time to time in designated accounts (the Receivables) to the Transferor. The Transferor, in turn, transferred all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables to the Trust, pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2000 (the Transfer and Servicing Agreement), among the Transferor, the Bank as servicer (the Servicer) and the Trust. Under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer has agreed to service and administer the Receivables as agent for the Transferor and the Trust. The Trust and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company) as indenture trustee (the Indenture Trustee) entered into a master indenture (the Master Indenture) dated as of August 1, 2000. The Master Indenture is supplemented by various series supplements providing for the issuance of notes, in varying series. The following are publicly registered and outstanding notes existing as of December 31, 2004: Series 2000-C Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; Series 2001-A Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; Series 2002-A Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; Series 2003-A Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; Series 2003-B Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; Series 2003-C Asset-Backed Notes, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B, Class C-1 and Class C-2; Series 2003-D Asset-Backed Notes, Class A, Class B and Class C; and AdvantaSeries Class C(2004-C1) Asset-Backed Notes (these publicly registered notes are collectively referred to as the Notes).

The Registrant has prepared this Form 10-K in reliance upon various no-action letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) to other trusts which are substantially similar to the Trust.
