4.   New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights (FAS 122) prospectively.  FAS 122 requires that a mortgage banking
enterprise recognize as separate assets the right to service mortgage loans
for others, whether acquired directly or in conjunction with the acquisition
of mortgage loan assets.
                                                                           
As originated or purchased mortgage loans are sold, securitized or where a
definitive plan exists to sell or securitize such loans, their total cost is
allocated between servicing rights and the loans, based on relative fair
values.

FAS 122 specifies that servicing rights be evaluated for impairment based on
the difference between the carrying value of such rights and their current
fair value.  For purposes of measuring impairment, which is to be recorded
through use of a valuation reserve, servicing rights will be stratified based
upon interest rates and whether or not such rates are fixed or variable.

The adoption of FAS 122 did not have a material effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.


                                                                         8.



Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations                                          

HSBC Americas, Inc. (the Company) reported first quarter 1996 net income of
$85.9 million.  This is the first quarter that the Company reported results
consolidated with Oleifera Investments, Ltd. (OIL), which was merged with the
Company on January 1, 1996 through the contribution of OIL's outstanding stock
to the Company. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, "Merger
with Oleifera Investments, Ltd.", prior year data has been restated to reflect
the merger with OIL. Net income for the comparable three month period of 1995
was $73.9 million.

Net income in the first quarter of 1996 reflected improved net interest income
and lower provision for loan losses and operating expenses.  The provision for
loan losses in the first quarter of 1995 primarily relates to the assets
acquired through the merger of Concord Leasing, Inc. (Concord) as a result of
management's decision to accelerate the timing of control and disposal of
Concord's exit portfolios.  A one-time tax benefit was recognized for the
expected use of a portion of Concord's net operating loss carryforwards.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 1996 was $230.1 million compared
with $219.1 million for the first quarter of 1995.  

Interest income of $388.6 million in the first quarter of 1996 was 8.8% higher
than the first quarter of 1995.  Average earning assets of $18.8 billion in
the first quarter of 1996 were $1.4 billion higher than a year ago and the
average rate earned on earning assets was 8.34% compared with 8.35% a year
ago.  The improvement in interest income is due to a number of factors,
including increases in consumer and core commercial loan volume, an increased
investment portfolio, and a reduction in commercial nonaccruing assets.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 was $158.5 million,
representing a 14.9% increase over the first quarter of 1995.  Average
interest bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 1996 were $15.0 billion,
compared with $13.3 billion a year ago.  The average rate paid on interest
bearing liabilities was 4.24% compared with 4.22% a year ago.  

The taxable equivalent net yield on average total assets for the current
year's first quarter was 4.64% compared with 4.78% in the 1995 first quarter. 
The decrease in net yield resulted from increases in trading assets and
investment securities which are at rates lower than loans.

                                                                         9.



Other Operating Income

Total other operating income was $79.6 million in the first quarter of 1996,
compared with $76.4 million in the 1995 first quarter.  The major source of
improvement was gains realized on highly leveraged partnership interests.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses were $154.6 million in the 1996 first quarter
compared with $158.5 million for the 1995 first quarter.  Both staff count and
personnel costs have declined.  In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. (FDIC) insurance premium rate assessed on deposits decreased.  This
event resulted in a $7.0 million decrease in other expense compared with the
first quarter of 1995.  The premium charged is consistent with other U.S.
banks which are considered "well capitalized" by U.S. regulators.

Other operating expenses in the 1995 first quarter were favorably affected by
income of $5.7 million associated with other real estate transactions compared
with expenses of $.7 million in the 1996 first quarter.

Income Taxes

Contemplated in the merger of Concord and the Company on January 1, 1995 was
the availability of net operating loss carryforwards and other temporary
deductible differences of Concord that can be used to offset future taxable
income of the Company.  At January 1, 1995, Concord had net deferred tax
assets of approximately $206 million resulting from loss carryforwards and
deductible differences, which were offset in full by a valuation allowance due
to the uncertainty of Concord realizing the tax benefits on a stand-alone
basis.  As a result of the merger, management determined that a reduction in
the valuation allowance of $73.5 million relating to Concord's operating loss
carryforwards should be recognized in the first quarter of 1995 since the
realization of such carryforwards was now considered probable.  

The reduction in taxes from a statutory rate of 43% to an effective rate of
36.5% in the first quarter of 1996 also relates to recognized deferred losses
of Concord.  The deferred tax asset at March 31, 1996 was $99 million, net of
valuation reserve of $216 million.

                                                                      10.

</TABLE>

Provisions for loan losses were $19.7 million in the first quarter of 1996 
compared with $125.0 million in the first quarter of 1995. See page 8 for 
a discussion relating to the provision recorded in the first quarter of 1995.  

The Company identified impaired loans as defined by FAS 114 totaling $300.6 
million at March 31, 1996, of which $90.2 million had a specific loan loss 
allowance of $51.0 million.  At December 31, 1995, impaired loans totaled 
$347.8 million of which $116.7 million had a specific loan allowance of $61.1 
million.  Interest income is not recognized on loans identified as impaired. 

                                                                        11.



Derivative Financial Instruments

As principally an end-user of off-balance sheet financial instruments, the
Company uses various derivative financial instruments to manage its overall
interest rate risk and to reduce the risk associated with changes in the
income stream of certain on-balance sheet assets.  At March 31, 1996, $20.3
billion notional value of such positions, with an estimated negative fair
value of $27.1 million were outstanding.  At December 31, 1995 $16.8 billion
notional value of such positions, with an estimated negative fair value of
$10.7 million were outstanding.

The Company also maintains various derivatives in its trading portfolio to
offset risk associated with changes in market value of certain trading assets,
and to satisfy the foreign currency requirements of retail customers.  These
derivatives are carried at fair value.  At March 31, 1996, $.9 billion
notional value of such positions with an estimated negative fair value of $1.5
million were outstanding.  At December 31, 1995 $1.0 billion of notional value
of such positions with an estimated negative fair value of $.9 million were
outstanding.

The Company's credit risk associated with off-balance sheet positions is not
considered material, since almost all derivative contracts are executed with
counterparties affiliated through common ownership.

Liquidity

The Company maintains a strong liquidity position.  Short-term investments and
trading assets were $3.1 billion at March 31, 1996 compared with $2.6 billion
at December 31, 1995.  Loans at March 31, 1996 were 62.2% of total assets
compared with 67.0% at December 31, 1995.

Deposits at March 31, 1996 were $15.7 billion, compared with $15.3 billion at
December 31, 1995.  Deposits continue to exceed loans and were 117.1% of loans
at March 31, 1996.  Short-term borrowings, including repurchase agreements,
were $2.9 billion at March 31, 1996 compared with $2.5 billion at December 31,
1995.  Long-term borrowings of $.7 billion at March 31, 1996 were at the same
level as December 31, 1995.

Capital

Shareholders' equity was $1.8 billion at March 31, 1996 compared with $1.7
billion at December 31, 1995.

Under risk-based capital guidelines, the Company's capital ratios were 11.43%
at the Tier 1 level and 16.91% at the total capital level at March 31, 1996. 
These ratios compare with 10.89% at the Tier 1 level and 16.39% at the total
capital level at December 31, 1995.

Under guidelines for leverage ratios, the Company's ratio of Tier 1 capital to
quarterly average total assets was 8.62% at March 31, 1996 compared with 8.36%
at December 31, 1995.
