basis and an International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") management
basis. Management basis is a non-GAAP financial measure that eliminates mortgage

management basis is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents management
basis as adjusted using IFRS.
This information shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section
18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document, and subsequent discussion, contains certain forward-looking
information with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and
business of HSBC Holdings plc and HSBC Finance Corporation. This information
represents expectations or beliefs concerning future events and is subject to
unknown risks and uncertainties. This information speaks only as of the date on
which it is provided. Additional detailed information concerning important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially is available in the
HSBC Holdings plc Annual Report and HSBC Finance Corporation Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

BASIS OF REPORTING
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS ("IFRSS") Prior to January 1,
2005, HSBC Holdings plc ("HSBC") reported results on a U.K. GAAP basis. The
European Union has determined that all European listed companies are required
to prepare their consolidated financial statements using IFRSs by 2005. As a
result, HSBC began reporting its financial results under IFRSs rather than
U.K. GAAP with its release of interim financial results for the six months
ended June 30, 2005.
- MANAGED BASIS (a non-GAAP financial measure) assumes that securitized customer
loans have not been sold and remain on our balance sheet.
- MANAGEMENT BASIS In addition to managed basis reporting, we also monitor our
operations and evaluate trends 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 to HSBC's U.S. banking subsidiary, HSBC Bank USA, N.A. ("HSBC Bank
USA"), have not been sold and remain on the balance sheet. We also monitor our
operations and evaluate trends 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, we
also review operating results and make decisions 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 and the related
servicing fees are eliminated. We believe 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 conform to the current period
presentation.
- IFRS MANAGEMENT BASIS (a non-GAAP financial measure) represents management
basis plus IFRS adjustments. In this document, the term "customer loans" is
synonymous to "receivables" in our U.S. GAAP financial statements.
- INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ("IAS") LITE MANAGEMENT BASIS excludes
application of: IAS 32, "Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation;"
IAS 39, "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement;" and IFRS 4,
"Insurance Contracts."
