Explanation:
Difference between Ovid's answer and mine is that mine is a bit more formal and refers to something that has been previously said (I was late because I missed the bus. I hope you can understand this) and his is a bit more colloquial as is or introducing a statement (I hope you can understand that I may miss the bus and be late).

Inge's answer is also a more formal and can be used either way.
