2007 loss before tax of $6.6 billion was $9.4 billion below prior year due to higher loan impairment charges of $5.2 billion and goodwill impairment of approximately $5.9 billion ($1.3 billion in Q3 2007 at the Mortgages Services business and Q4 07 charges of $3.7 billion at the Retail Branch business, $0.5 billion at Motor Vehicle Finance business and $0.4 billion at the UK business), partially offset by fair value option income on debt market valuation. Excluding the impact of the goodwill impairment, the 2007 loss before tax of $633 million was $3.5 billion below the prior year Higher net operating income before loan impairment charges primarily driven by income from fair value option of debt issued as 2007 was impacted by widening of credit spreads ($1.6 billion) and higher revenues from the Credit Card business ($1.0 billion), partly offset by lower Mortgage Services revenues from a declining portfolio 2007 loan impairment charges increased $5.2 billion (or 73.5 percent) from prior year largely driven by increases in our domestic real estate loan portfolio ($2.2 billion), personal non-credit card loan portfolio ($1.1 billion) and card and retail loan portfolios ($1.7 billion) A marked increase in delinquency within the Retail Branch business as the U.S. residential market further deteriorated, credit conditions continued to tighten for a broad segment of customers, removing refinancing alternatives and slowing portfolio run-off Mortgage Services continued to experience higher loan impairment charges and delinquencies as portions of this portfolio purchased in 2005 and 2006 continued to season. In addition, this portfolio has also been impacted by worsening industry trends and slower receivable run-off, particularly in the second lien portfolio. It is now generally believed that the deterioration in the housing market will be deeper in terms of its impact on housing prices and the duration will extend at least through 2008. Credit Card business experienced higher loan impairment charges ($1.2 billion) from higher delinquencies due to receivable growth, mix changes, portfolio seasoning and an increase in bankruptcy filings. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2007, Credit Card began to experience increases in delinquency in all vintages, particularly in the markets experiencing the greatest home value depreciation and rising unemployment rates. Private Label business experienced higher loan impairment charges ($0.5 billion) from higher delinquencies, particularly in the power sports portfolio, an increase in bankruptcy filings and the effect from a weakening U.S. economy. HSBC Finance Corporation - YTD financial results

HSBC Finance Corporation 2+ delinquency ratio Magnitude of the total 2+ delinquency ratio increase (57 percent over Q4 2006) reflects the weak housing and mortgage industry and rising unemployment rates in certain markets as well as the impact of a weakening U.S. economy First and second lien real estate secured 2+ delinquencies were also negatively impacted by the discontinuation of new correspondent channel acquisitions as well as product changes in the US Retail Branch business, which reduced the outstanding principal balance of the portfolios Delinquencies in the Credit Card portfolio were also impacted by seasoning and a higher mix of near prime and non-prime balances Personal non-credit card 2+ delinquencies increased due to seasoning of portfolio and a deterioration of 2006 and 2007 vintages in certain geographic regions Note: See 'Credit Quality' in the MD&A of Form 10-K for the period ended 31 December 2007 for delinquency information reported on a US GAAP basis.

2005 and 2006 vintages in Mortgage Services continue to season. As the portfolio continues to decline, the delinquency ratio will continue to increase. Increase in 2+ delinquencies for Retail Branch real estate secured due to industry-wide worsening of credit environment and broad based deterioration of the U.S. residential property market during 2007 HSBC Finance Corporation Real estate secured 2+ delinquency Q1 06 Q2 06 Q3 06 Q4 06 Q1 07 Q2 07 Q3 07 Q4 07 2+ MS First Lien 1.1 1.2 1.5 1.7 1.7 1.9 2.4 3 2+ MS Second Lien 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.6 0.6 0.7 0.8 1.1 2+ Branch First Lien 0.6 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.8 0.9 1.3 1.7 2+ Branch Second Lien 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.4 0.4 0.4 0.5 0.6 1.3 0.9 1.5 0.9 1.9 1 2.3 1.2 2.3 1.2 2.6 1.3 3.2 1.8 4.1 2.3 2+ delinquencies (USD billions) 2+ delinquencies (%)

Note: The reset volumes above do not reflect loans that were previously modified, that will reset in the specified period. Unless customers who have benefited from a loan modification are able to obtain other financings, those loans will also be subject to an interest rate reset at the end of the modification period.
