information with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and
business of HSBC Holdings plc, HSBC Finance Corporation, HSBC USA Inc. and HSBC
North America Holdings Inc. This information represents expectations or beliefs
concerning future events and is subject to unknown risks and uncertainties. This

results to differ materially is available in the HSBC Holdings plc 2005 Annual
Report, and the HSBC Finance Corporation and HSBC USA Inc. Annual Reports on

BASIS OF REPORTING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS ("IFRSS") From January 1, 2005,
HSBC Holdings plc ("HSBC") has prepared its consolidated financial statements
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by
the European Union. IFRSs comprise accounting standards issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board and its predecessor body as well as
interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee and its predecessor body. Please see HSBC's 2005
Annual Report for more detail regarding significant accounting policies.
- HSBC FINANCE CORPORATION -- MANAGED BASIS (a non-GAAP financial measure)
assumes that securitized customer loans have not been sold and remain on the
HSBC Finance Corporation balance sheet.
- HSBC FINANCE CORPORATION -- MANAGEMENT BASIS In addition to managed basis
reporting, operations are monitored and trends are evaluated on a management
basis (a non-GAAP financial measure). Management basis reporting, in addition
to the managed basis adjustments, assumes that the Mortgages and Private Label
customer loans transferred from HSBC Finance Corporation to HSBC's U.S.
banking subsidiary, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. ("HSBC Bank USA"), have not been sold
and remain on the HSBC Finance Corporation balance sheet. Additionally,
operations are monitored and trends are evaluated on a management basis
because the customer loan sales to HSBC Bank USA were conducted primarily to
more appropriately fund prime customer loans within the HSBC Group and such
customer loans continue to be managed and serviced by us without regard to
ownership. Furthermore, operating results are reviewed and decisions are made
about allocating resources such as employees on a management basis.
When reporting on a management basis, net interest income, fee income and loan
impairment charges are adjusted to include the activity associated with these
customer loans transferred to HSBC Bank USA. Gains on sales, loan premium
amortization and the related servicing fees are eliminated. Management
believes that management basis information enables readers, investors and
other interested parties to better understand the overall performance and
related trends of our consumer finance business.
Certain adjustments have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the
current period presentation.
- HSBC FINANCE CORPORATION -- IFRS MANAGEMENT BASIS (a non-GAAP financial
measure) represents management basis results adjusted in accordance with
IFRSs. In this document, the term "customer loans" is synonymous to
"receivables" in our U.S. GAAP financial statements.
- HSBC USA INC. -- IFRS represents HSBC USA Inc. U.S. GAAP results adjusted in
accordance with IFRSs.
