The credit equivalent amounts are calculated for the purposes of deriving the risk-weighted amounts. These are assessed in accordance with the Third Schedule of the Banking Ordinance on capital adequacy and depend on the status of the counterparty and the maturity characteristics. The risk weights used range from 0 per cent to 100 per cent for contingent liabilities and commitments, from 0 per cent to 50 per cent for exchange rate and interest rate contracts, and from 0 per cent to 100 per cent for other derivative contracts. The group has executed close-out netting agreements with certain counterparties, which allow for positive and negative mark-to-market values on different transactions to be offset and settled by a single payment in the event of default by either party. These have been taken into account in calculating total risk assets. Contingent liabilities and commitments are credit-related instruments which include acceptances, letters of credit, guarantees and commitments to extend credit. The contract amounts represent the amounts at risk should the contract be fully drawn upon and the client default. Since a significant portion of guarantees and commitments is expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total of the contract amounts is not representative of future liquidity requirements. Derivatives arise from futures, forward, swap and option transactions undertaken by the group in the foreign exchange, interest rate and equity markets. The contract amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the balance sheet date; they do not represent amounts at risk. Replacement cost of contracts Figures in HK$m At 31 Dec 2000 At 31 Dec 1999 Exchange rate contracts 28,408 22,802 Interest rate contracts 11,822 5,390 Other derivative contracts 5 5 40,235 28,197 Less: netting adjustments (12,165) (8,004) 28,070 20,193 The replacement cost of contracts represents the mark-to-market assets on all contracts with a positive value, i.e. an asset to the group. This comprises the mark-to-market assets on contracts with third parties and fellow subsidiary companies included in the balance sheet in 'Other assets', and on accrual accounted contracts which are not marked-to-market in the balance sheet. Replacement cost is a close approximation of the credit risk for these contracts as at the balance sheet date. The actual credit risk is measured internally as the sum of positive mark-to-market values and an estimate for the future fluctuation risk, using a future risk factor. The netting adjustments represent amounts where the group has in place legally enforceable rights of offset with individual counterparties where there is a right to offset the gross amount of positive mark-to-market assets with any negative mark-to-market liabilities with the same customer. These offsets are recognised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in the calculation of risk assets for the capital adequacy ratio. 16. Country risk and cross-border exposure The in-country risk exposure and cross-border exposure figures in the tables below are for the three Asian countries that have negotiated arrangements with the International Monetary Fund. They are prepared in accordance with the Bank of England Country Exposure Report (Form C1) and the HKMA Return of Cross-Border Claims (MA(BS)9) guidelines. In-country obligations represent local offices' on-balance-sheet exposures to and acceptances given under facilities opened on behalf of local residents. Net cross-border obligations are on-balance-sheet exposures to and acceptances given under facilities opened on behalf of customers based on the country of residence of the borrower or guarantor of ultimate risk, irrespective of whether such exposures are in local or foreign currency. Cross-border risk is controlled centrally through a well- developed system of country limits, which are frequently reviewed to avoid concentrations of transfer, economic or political risks. Given the improvement in the financial condition of all of the countries outlined and, provided there is no marked deterioration in the first half of 2001, we intend to dispense with the country risk and cross-border table from that date.

Segmental analysis The allocation of earnings reflects the benefits of shareholders' funds to the extent that these are actually allocated to businesses in the segment by way of intra-group capital and funding structures. Common costs are included in segments on the basis of the actual recharges made. Geographical information has been classified by the location of the principal operations of the subsidiary company or, in the case of the bank, by the location of the branch responsible for reporting the results or advancing the funds. Due to the nature of the group structure, the analysis of profits shown below includes intra-group items between geographic regions. The 'Rest of Asia-Pacific' geographical segment includes the Middle East, India and Australia.

The group's capital adequacy ratios calculated in accordance with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Guideline on 'Maintenance of Adequate Capital Against Market Risks' are as follows: At 31 Dec 2000 At 31 Dec 1999 Total capital 13.2% 14.0% Tier 1 capital 9.4% 9.6% The group's capital adequacy ratios calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Third Schedule of the Banking Ordinance which does not take into account market risk are as follows: Total capital 13.2% 14.1% Tier 1 capital 9.3% 9.7% 21. Liquidity ratio The Banking Ordinance requires banks operating in Hong Kong to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio, calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Fourth Schedule of the Banking Ordinance, of 25 per cent. This requirement applies separately to the Hong Kong branches of the bank and to those subsidiary companies which are Authorised Institutions under the Banking Ordinance in Hong Kong. 2000 1999 The average liquidity ratio for the year was as follows: Hong Kong branches of the bank 47.0% 38.8% 22. Property revaluation The group's premises and investment properties were revalued by professionally qualified valuers as at 30 November 2000. The basis of the valuation for premises was open market value for existing use or, in the case of the few specialised premises, depreciated replacement cost. The basis of the valuation for investment properties was open market value. Premises and investment properties in the Hong Kong SAR, the Macau SAR and mainland China, which represent 89.8 per cent by value of the group's properties subject to valuation, were valued by HSBC Property (Asia) Limited, a subsidiary of the bank. The valuations were carried out by qualified valuers who are members of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors. Properties in six countries, which represent 9.1 per cent by value of the group's properties, were valued by independent professionally qualified valuers. Properties in five other countries were valued by management. The property revaluation has resulted in an increase in the group's revaluation reserves of HK$2,317 million as at 31 December 2000 and a credit to the profit and loss account of HK$54 million in respect of properties where the valuation had fallen below depreciated historical cost in prior years. 23.
