We retain a substantial portion of the profit inherent in the receivables while increasing liquidity. The comparability of net interest margin between periods may be impacted by the level and type of receivables securitized. Net interest margin on a managed basis includes finance income earned on our owned receivables as well on our securitized receivables. This finance income is offset by interest expense on the debt recorded on our balance sheet as well as the contractual rate of return on the instruments issued to investors when the receivables were securitized.

In addition to the GAAP financial results reported in our consolidated financial statements, MD&A includes reference to the following information which is presented on a non-GAAP basis: OPERATING RESULTS, PERCENTAGES AND RATIOS Certain percentages and ratios have been presented on an operating basis and have been calculated using "operating net income", a non-GAAP financial measure. "Operating net income" is net income excluding certain nonrecurring items. These nonrecurring items are also excluded in calculating our operating basis efficiency ratios. We believe that excluding these items helps readers of our financial statements to understand better the results and trends of our underlying business. MANAGED BASIS REPORTING We monitor our operations and evaluate trends on a managed basis (a non-GAAP financial measure), which assumes that securitized receivables have not been sold and are still on our balance sheet. We manage and evaluate our operations on a managed basis because the receivables that we securitize are subjected to underwriting standards comparable to our owned portfolio, are serviced by operating personnel without regard to ownership and result in a similar credit loss exposure for us. In addition, we fund our operations, review our operating results, and make decisions about allocating resources such as employees and capital on a managed basis. When reporting on a managed basis, net interest margin, provision for credit losses and fee income related to receivables securitized are reclassified from securitization revenue in our owned statements of income into the appropriate caption. Additionally, charge-off and delinquency associated with these receivables are included in our managed basis credit quality statistics. Debt analysts, rating agencies and others also evaluate our operations on a managed basis for the reasons discussed above and have historically requested managed basis information from us. We believe that managed basis information enables investors and other interested parties to better understand the performance and quality of our entire managed loan portfolio and is important to understanding the quality of originations and the related credit risk inherent in our owned portfolio. EQUITY RATIOS Tangible shareholder's(s') equity to tangible managed assets ("TETMA"), tangible shareholder's(s') equity plus owned loss reserves to tangible managed assets ("TETMA + Owned Reserves") and tangible common equity to tangible managed assets are non-GAAP financial measures that are used by HSBC Finance Corporation management or certain rating agencies to evaluate capital adequacy. These ratios may differ from similarly named measures presented by other companies. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is common and preferred equity to owned assets. We and certain rating agencies also monitor our equity ratios excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments. We do so because we believe that the purchase accounting adjustments represent non-cash transactions which do not affect our business operations, cash flows or ability to meet our debt obligations. Preferred securities issued by certain non-consolidated trusts are considered equity in the TETMA and TETMA + Owned Reserves calculations because of their long-term subordinated nature and the ability to defer dividends. Our Adjustable Conversion-Rate Equity Security Units, which exclude purchase accounting adjustments, are also considered equity in these calculations because they include investor obligations to purchase HSBC ordinary shares in 2006. QUANTITATIVE RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES For a reconciliation of managed basis net interest income, fee income and provision for credit losses to the comparable owned basis amounts, see Note 23, "Business Segments," to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. For a reconciliation of our owned loan portfolio by product to our managed loan portfolio, see Note 7, "Receivables," to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our 2004 Financial Statements meet the requirements of Regulation S-X. The 2004 Financial Statements and supplementary financial information specified by Item 302 of Regulation S-K are set forth below. 106 HSBC Finance Corporation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM The Board of Directors and Shareholder HSBC Finance Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HSBC Finance Corporation (a Delaware corporation) (formerly Household International, Inc.), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc, and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 (successor basis) and December 31, 2003 (successor basis) and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholder's(s') equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004 (successor basis), for the periods January 1, 2003 through March 28, 2003 (predecessor basis) and March 29, 2003 through December 31, 2003 (successor basis), and for the year ended December 31, 2002 (predecessor basis). These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of HSBC Finance Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of HSBC Finance Corporation's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the aforementioned consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HSBC Finance Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 (successor basis) and December 31, 2003 (successor basis), and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004 (successor basis) and March 29, 2003 through December 31, 2003 (successor basis), in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Further, in our opinion, the aforementioned consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of HSBC Finance Corporation and subsidiaries for the period January 1, 2003 through March 28, 2003 (predecessor basis) and for the year ended December 31, 2002 (predecessor basis), in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, effective March 28, 2003, HSBC Holdings plc acquired all of the outstanding stock of Household International, Inc. (now HSBC Finance Corporation) in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the consolidated financial information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different cost basis than that for the periods before the acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, HSBC Finance Corporation has restated its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003 (successor basis) and for the period March 29, 2003 through December 31, 2003 (successor basis). /s/ KPMG LLP Chicago, Illinois February 28, 2005 107 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
