Comment by Sandy Flockhart, President and Group Managing Director of Latin America and the Caribbean "Our investment for growth strategy in Mexico continues to deliver solid results. For the year ended 31 December 2006, the group delivered robust growth in revenues. Net income was driven by a strong performance in the bank and in the insurance subsidiaries, despite higher loan impairment charges in line with the provisioning requirements under Mexican regulatory rules to cover significant loan growth. Revenue grew across the personal, commercial and corporate business segments even in a decreasing interest rate environment and a highly competitive market. Our cost efficiency has shown continued improvement with revenue growth of 17.0 per cent exceeding expense growth of 8.8 per cent in the period ended 31 December 2006. This has been due to a more profitable balance sheet composition, driven by growth of 42.2 per cent and 37.0 per cent in consumer and commercial banking lending products respectively, compared to 2005. Impaired loans grew 21.5 per cent versus the previous year, in line with 21.8 per cent growth in gross loans and advances to customers for the same period. As a result, the ratio of impaired loans to total loans remained at 2.7 per cent as at 31 December 2006, the same percentage as the previous year. "In 2006 Grupo Financiero HSBC consolidated efforts to grow a strong platform in Mexico. Our commitment to Mexico is reflected by our continued investment since the acquisition of Grupo Financiero Bital in November 2002. HSBC has invested over US$2.3 billion in Mexico since 2002. As part of HSBC Mexico's plans to increase financial strength and to become the leading financial services company in Mexico in the eyes of our customers, all profits earned since January 2003 have been reinvested in the Mexican business, representing a total of MXN15,940 million in accordance with Mexican GAAP. We have invested in enhancing our information technology, improving staff training and broadening the human resources base to some 23,700 employees. This represents over 8,000 new jobs created since November 2002, and over 2,000 new jobs in 2006 alone. The training and career development of our employees, including offering overseas postings, has been integral to building local leadership talent and potential for continued growth in the future. "In April 2006, HSBC Mexico inaugurated its new headquarters, Torre HSBC, which has brought together staff across Mexico City into one location, providing a stronger organisational culture and a renewed working environment. In addition to our new corporate headquarters, we have continued to invest in and improve our infrastructure with 372 ATMs added in 2006, bringing the total number to 5,437. "I am pleased to mention that, during 2006, Grupo Financiero HSBC received several awards not only for its managerial efforts, but also for its corporate and social responsibility. Expansion and Latin Finance magazines each named HSBC Mexico as Bank of the Year in 2006. In May, for the second consecutive year, HSBC Mexico received the SME Award from the Mexican Ministry of Economy in recognition of its outstanding support to small and medium business customers. "In the area of social responsibility, the Mexican Philanthropy Centre (CEMEFI) recognised HSBC Mexico with the Socially Responsible Company 2006 certification. Likewise, HSBC ranked first among all Mexican banks and fourth in Latin America in the Sustainable and Ethical Banks in Latin America ranking published by Latin Finance magazine. "In HSBC we continue to strive towards being the leading financial services company in Mexico. The combination of our extensive international network, the HSBC brand and the sharing of global practices, along with local product knowledge and expertise has been a powerful impulse to deliver solid results in Mexico." Overview For the year ended 31 December 2006, Grupo Financiero HSBC's net income of MXN5,365 million was MXN416 million, or 8.4 per cent, higher than the same period in 2005. These results were largely due to strong performances in the bank and insurance subsidiaries, although they were partly offset by higher loan impairment charges in line with the provisioning requirements under Mexican regulatory rules to cover the significant loan growth. Net interest income (excluding monetary position) was up by MXN2,235 million to MXN17,758 million for the year ended 31 December 2006, a 14.4 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2005. This was despite a significant reduction in interest rates of 210 basis points negatively impacting spreads on HSBC Mexico's large base of low-cost customer deposits. The increase in net interest income reflects a solid performance in loans, concentrated in higher-yielding credit card lending and small-and medium-sized business (SME) products, as well as robust growth in low-cost customer deposits. In particular, credit card balances more than doubled versus the previous year, leading to a 2.3 per cent increase in market share of balances outstanding to reach 7.2 per cent at December 2006. Net fees and commissions grew strongly, increasing by MXN1,310 million, or 17.2 per cent, compared to the same period in 2005, reaching MXN8,933 million for the year ended 31 December 2006. These positive results were mainly driven by increased contributions from packaged products with a monthly membership fee (Tu Cuenta and Estimulo), credit card, mortgage, point of sale, mutual fund and trade services fees. Trading income was up 43.9 per cent to MXN2,049 million over the same period of the previous year, reflecting the bank's successful strategic positioning, increased volumes in the retail foreign exchange market and the addition of new and more sophisticated products to better serve our clients' needs. Administrative expenses grew 8.8 per cent compared to the same period in 2005, reaching MXN17,418 million for the year ended 31 December 2006. This increase reflects continued investment in the training and development of our employees, the introduction of a new dedicated mobile sales force and the continued build-up of our ATM infrastructure. Loan impairment charges increased by MXN2,555 million, or 164.7 per cent, reaching MXN4,106 million for the year ended 31 December 2006. The increase reflects the growth of the portfolios in recent years and the higher provisioning requirements under Mexican regulatory rules related to new consumer and commercial lending, particularly in credit cards and small and micro business loans. Credit card balances increased MXN7,390 million, or 108.4 per cent, for the year ended 31 December 2006 versus the same period the previous year, while small and micro business loan balances increased MXN2,494 million (83.4 per cent) and MXN3,272 million (385.4 per cent) respectively for the same period. Impaired loans grew 21.5 per cent versus the previous year, in line with 21.8 per cent growth in gross loans and advances to customers for the same period. As a result, the ratio of impaired loans to total loans remained at 2.7 per cent as at 31 December 2006, the same percentage as the previous year. Impairment allowances as a percentage of impaired loans was 156.9 per cent, compared to previous year's 167.9 per cent. The bank's capital adequacy ratio remains solid at 13.8 per cent, well above National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV) requirements. Results by customer segment During the fourth quarter of 2006, the bank's Personal Financial Services (PFS) business saw continued income growth due to higher balances in low-cost deposits, credit cards, mortgages, personal and payroll loans. At the end of December 2006, PFS total customer loans increased 39.7 per cent versus the previous year. In addition, there was higher fee and commission income from credit cards, the Tu Cuenta packaged product with a monthly membership fee and ATMs. Strong performance continues to be driven by the integrated financial services product, Tu Cuenta, which has reached one million accounts sold as of 31 December 2006. This product which has driven growth in low-cost deposits, features a 5 per cent credit card cash-back promotion and integrates financial services for a fixed monthly fee. These services include credit and debit cards, checking account, access to investment funds, time and demand deposits and internet banking. In addition to the contribution of Tu Cuenta income, an increase in the number of ATMs, a larger customer base and important efforts made during the last year to relocate machines to more convenient areas have boosted the number of transactions. The bank's Commercial Banking (CMB) customer loans were 34.6 per cent higher than in 2005, primarily driven by strong demand in the rapidly growing real estate and residential construction sectors and continued growth in the small and micro business sector. Full year 2006 fee income rose by 27 per cent largely resulting from increased cross sales activity with card acquiring, ATMs, internet banking and payments and cash management (PCM) services. Growth in customer numbers led to higher transactional volumes and this, combined with an expanded and improved product offering, increased marketing activity and re-pricing initiatives, led to a 41 per cent rise in income from payments and cash management services. The Estimulo product offering, comprising of a packaged suite of seven different products including a loan facility, continued to perform well with fee income more than tripling versus the previous year. During the third quarter, a similar product, Estimulo Empresarial, was launched, targeting upper end SME customers. This product encompasses a suite of 11 different services and since its introduction more than 165 new clients have been acquired, generating MXN543 million in new loans. HSBC's share of the trade services market continued to grow as enhanced systems, new products and improvements made to existing ones, led to higher levels of cross-selling activity among the various trade services products. During the year, the international factoring and domestic invoicing payment services were successfully piloted and marketed to existing clients. In Corporate, Investment Banking and Markets (CIBM), the Corporate bank continued to increase profitability while strengthening its market position. In Global Markets, profits were below 2005 levels as balance sheet management revenues were constrained by a flattening of the interest rate curve and relatively stable market conditions. However, the Global Markets business increased its participation in the derivatives market as it has incorporated new and more sophisticated product offerings. This, combined with solid client relationships and HSBC's global reach, helped Global Markets increase its presence in the money and capital markets. Higher payments and cash management fees were driven by a wider product offering, particularly through e-channels, intensive marketing campaigns and the leveraging of established credit-related products and services. Trading had a strong year with an increase of 43.9 per cent versus previous year, largely due to successful positioning, larger retail foreign exchange volumes, the addition of new products (currency swaps and interest rate options) and the resulting increased focus on the derivatives market.

There follows a reconciliation of the results of Grupo Financiero HSBC S.A. de C.V from Mexican GAAP to IFRS for the years ended 31 December 2005 and 2006 and an explanation of the key reconciling items.

Summary of key differences between Grupo Financiero's results as reported under Mexican GAAP and IFRS Inflation Mexican GAAP Mexican GAAP Bulletin - 10 requires recognition of inflation on financial statements to reflect the current purchasing power of the currency in which such financial information is stated. IFRS IAS 29 'Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies' requires recognition of inflation on financial statements only if the entity's functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. As Mexico's economy does not meet the characteristics established in this standard to be considered as hyperinflationary, no inflationary effects are included for IFRS reporting. Hedge Accounting Difference on valuation arose on transition to IFRS due to financial instruments that are designated as hedging instruments under Mexican GAAP that did not qualify under IFRS. This difference was taken to the income statement on termination of the hedges in 2005. No further differences exist. Summary of key differences between Grupo Financiero's results as reported under Mexican GAAP and IFRS (continued) Retirement benefits Mexican GAAP Post-retirement benefit liabilities are not recognized on the balance sheet. The income statement charge is based on contributions made to the schemes. IFRS Obligations for defined benefit pension and post-retirement healthcare benefits are recorded on the balance sheet and the income statement based on actuarial calculations. Acquisition costs of long term investment contracts Mexican GAAP All costs related to the acquisition of long-term investment contracts are expensed as they are incurred. IFRS Incremental costs relating to the acquisition of long-term investment contracts are deferred and amortised over the expected life of the contract. However, a decrease in the expected life of a portfolio of contracts has led to accelerated amortization in 2006. Fees paid and received on origination of loans Mexican GAAP All fees and expenses received or paid on loan origination are recognized as they are incurred. IFRS Fees and expenses received or paid on origination of a loan that are directly attributable to the origination of that loan are accounted for under the effective interest rate method over the expected life of the loan. Loan impairment charges Mexican GAAP Loan impairment charges are calculated following the rules issued by the Mexican Ministry of Finance and the National Banking and Securities Commission. Such rules establish authorized methodologies for determining the amount of provision for each type of loan. IFRS Loan loss provisions for collectively assessed loans are determined based on a roll-rate methodology reflecting history of losses for each category of loan, past due payments and collateral values. For individually assessed loans, loan loss provisions are calculated based on the discounted cash flow value of the collateral. Purchase accounting adjustments These arise from valuations made by HSBC on acquiring Grupo Financiero Bital in November 2002 on various assets and liabilities that differed from the valuation in the local Mexican GAAP books.
