EXHIBIT A                                                                       

IDENTITY AND ITEM 3 CLASSIFICATION OF A SUBSIDIARY OF PARENT                    
HOLDING COMPANIES                                                               

This Schedule 13G is being filed by Twentieth Century Companies, Inc. 
("TCC").  Investors Research Corporation ("IRC"), an investment advisor         
registered under Section 203 of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, is a       
wholly-owned subsidiary of TCC.  Mr. James E. Stowers, Jr., controls TCC by     
virtue of his ownership of approximately 60% of the voting stock of TCC.        

As a result of its status as investment advisor to four investment    
companies registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act and to       
several institutional investors, IRC is deemed to be the beneficial owner of    
1,077,450 shares (the "Shares") or 6.2% of the outstanding common stock of      
Advanta Corp. (the "Issuer").                                                   

 TCC, as a result of its control of IRC, and Mr. Stowers, as a result of
his control of TCC, are also deemed to beneficially own all such shares deemed  
to be beneficially owned by IRC.  Mr. Stowers, TCC and IRC all disclaim         
beneficial ownership of the Shares.                                             

  The ownership of one investment company client of IRC, Twentieth Century
Investors, Inc. ("TCI"), totalled 992,800 shares or 5.7% of the outstanding     
Class A common stock of the Issuer.                                             

This Schedule 13G is being filed by TCC on behalf of TCC, IRC, TCI and
Mr. Stowers.
