Basis of Reporting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o 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 will
be 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.
o HSBC FINANCE CORPORATION - MANAGED BASIS (a non-GAAP financial measure)
assumes that securitized customer loans have not been sold and remain on
our balance sheet.
o HSBC FINANCE CORPORATION - 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, and that the funding facility with
HSBC Bank USA as the originating lender for our taxpayer refund
anticipation loan program is not in place. 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
(SMALL HSBC LOGO)

Basis of Reporting - continued
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o MANAGEMENT BASIS - CONTINUED
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 along
with the funding facility fees paid to HSBC Bank USA. 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.
o HSBC FINANCE CORPORATION - IFRS MANAGEMENT BASIS (a non-GAAP financial
measure) represents Management Basis plus IFRS adjustments.
o HSBC USA INC. - IFRS represents HSBC USA Inc. U.S. GAAP results plus IFRS
adjustments.
o 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."
