LOCAL AGENCY
FURTHER INFORMATION
Background
The financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2007 comprise the accounts of the India
branches of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited ('the Bank'),
which is incorporated and registered in the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region. The Bank's ultimate holding company is HSBC Holdings plc, which is
incorporated in England.
Basis of preparation
The financial
statements are prepared and presented under the historical cost convention and
accrual basis of accounting, except where otherwise stated, and in accordance
with the generally accepted accounting principles and statutory provisions
prescribed under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, circulars and guidelines
issued by the Reserve Bank of India ('RBI'), Accounting Standards ('AS') issued
by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India ('ICAI'), to the extent
applicable and current practices prevailing within the banking industry in
India.
Use of estimates
The preparation of
the financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure
of contingent liabilities as at the date of the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Any revision to accounting estimates
is recognized prospectively in current and future periods.
Transactions involving foreign exchange
Transactions
denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the rates prevailing on the
date of the transactions. Exchange differences arising on foreign currency
transactions settled during the year are recognized in the profit and loss
account of the year. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
as at the balance sheet date are restated at the closing rates notified by
Foreign Exchange Dealers Association of India ('FEDAI') and resultant exchange
differences are recognized in the profit and loss account.
Outstanding spot
and forward exchange contracts are revalued at the exchange rates notified by
FEDAI prevailing at the year end and the resultant gain or loss is recognized
in the profit and loss account. Contingent liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies are disclosed at closing rates of exchange notified by FEDAI.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
The Bank creates a
provision when there is a present obligation as a result of a past event that probably
requires an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the
amount of the obligation. A disclosure for contingent liability is made when
there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may but probably
will not require an outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation
or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of outflow of
resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Provisions are
reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimate. If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources would be
required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
Contingent assets
are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are
assessed continually and if it is virtually certain that an inflow of economic
benefits will arise, the asset and related income are recognized in the period
in which the change occurs.
The related parties of the Bank are broadly
classified as follows:
a) Parent
The Hongkong and
Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Hongkong (including branches) is the Head
office of the Bank and HSBC Holdings plc is the ultimate holding company.
