2005 2006 2007 2008 East 22.2 27.1 28.2 5 West 5 North Income from HSBC and GE Bank Retail Credit Agreements (millions) 1. Win in the Core... Financial Services - Retail Credit Financing Polaris has two providers for Retail Credit in the United States: GE Money Bank provides close-end installment consumer and commercial credit to customers for both Polaris and non-Polaris products. HSBC provides revolving retail credit financing under the Polaris StarCard private label credit card program. HSBC arrangement expected to change in 2008 HSBC recently informed Polaris that it wants to make changes to a 2005 contractual arrangement currently in place to provide revolving retail credit financing for Polaris products. Polaris and HSBC are currently in discussions regarding the financing arrangement and at the present time management believes it is likely that it will be necessary for Polaris to forgo its volume-based fee income and/or absorb increased promotional support costs after March 1, 2008 in order to ensure that retail credit alternatives continue to be available for Polaris customers through HSBC. 2008 Retail Credit Income Guidance: The less favorable terms imposed by HSBC after March 1, 2008, combined with HSBC discontinuing the financing of non-Polaris products in July 2007 will likely result in a significantly lower income generated from the HSBC and GE Bank retail credit agreements for calendar 2008 in the range of $5 to $10 million compared to $28 million in 2007. $5 to $10 million Guidance
