Group President and CEO’s Message
This was another record year for TD. Thanks to the strength of our North American franchise and ongoing
investments in our business, we posted $6.3 billion in adjusted income – 20 per cent growth over last year –
despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges and market volatility. We continued to increase our scale,
opening 24 new branches in Canada and 37 new stores in the U.S. We also completed our acquisition
of Chrysler Financial to build out TD Auto Finance and acquired substantially all of MBNA Canada’s credit
card portfolio, broadening the North American reach of our card business.
YEAR IN REVIEW
Our achievements over the past year demonstrate the strength of our
retail-focused business mix, as well as the client-driven franchise model
of our Wholesale bank. This allowed us to outperform despite slower
economic growth and heightened regulatory challenges. We began
the year certain that the regulatory and economic environment would
be tough. As it turned out, 2011 truly showcased the power of TD’s
business model. We’re extremely pleased with our results.
Our domestic Personal and Commercial banking business performed
exceptionally well, thanks to continued resilience in the Canadian
housing market, strong volume growth in personal and business
deposits and loans and a strong performance from TD Insurance.
TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank,® had another fantastic year,
posting record adjusted results despite having to absorb the full impact
of new overdraft fee regulations. We continued to grow our Maine-to-
Florida footprint by opening new stores and we successfully integrated
The South Financial Group. We saw strong deposit growth and remained
committed to supporting our customers and clients through strong
lending growth, which again this year will exceed peer performance.
It was also a fantastic year for our Wealth Management businesses,
which combined had record profits. The Canadian business continued
to do a great job at gathering assets and saw healthy trading volumes
throughout a volatile year. In the U.S., TD Ameritrade again took market
share in asset gathering while remaining the leader in trades per day.
Wholesale finished the year on a strong note, despite tough
economic conditions. Markets came under heavy pressure from the
European and U.S. debt crises, as well as weaker than expected U.S.
economic data. All of these factors had a significant impact on our
fixed-income trading business. While we expect markets will stay
challenging in the short term, we believe we have the right strategy
for when they normalize and we will continue to focus on building
our competitive franchise businesses where we have made significant
progress in establishing our leadership position in Canada.
CUSTOMERS AND COMMUNITIES
Our commitment to delivering legendary customer experiences again
set us apart from the pack in 2011 and sits firmly at the core of our
business model. We again raised the bar in customer service this year
with TD Canada Trust remaining the only large Canadian bank to be
named best in customer satisfaction by J.D. Power & Associates, an
honour we’ve received for six years in a row. For the seventh consecu-
tive year, we also earned Synovate’s “excellence in customer service”
award. Euromoney, a leading international business magazine, also
named TD the Best Bank in North America for the third year running.
Great customer service also means standing by your customers
during tough times. Our TD Helps program in Canada, designed to
help customers impacted by the financial crisis, has now assisted more
than 115,000 customers in its two years of existence. We also continue
to support the communities in which we do business, through more
than $66 million in local investments. It was an honour for me to chair
the United Way Toronto campaign in 2010, not only for the record-
breaking fundraising results United Way announced in January, but also
because of the incredible efforts of our employees, who responded in
a real time of need.
All of our accomplishments this year were underpinned by an
incredible team of more than 85,000 people who make TD successful
each and every day. We strive to create a unique and inclusive employee
culture because we understand that our employees are integral to
our future. We’ve been able to add talent and expertise across the
bank thanks to the strength of our employment brand in 2011. TD
was named one of Aon Hewitt’s 50 Best Employers in Canada for the
fourth consecutive year.
THE RIGHT STRATEGY
At its core, TD works to produce long-term, profitable growth by
building great franchises and delivering value to our customers,
shareholders and communities. There is a clear reason this strategy
hasn’t fundamentally changed: it’s simple, it’s adaptable and it has
a proven winning record.
Our focus on steady, reliable retail earnings has clearly paid off.
Almost 90 per cent of our adjusted profit came from our retail platform,
which helped shield us from some of the volatility seen around the
world as a result of sovereign debt problems, the U.S. fiscal situation
and the sluggish pace of economic recovery.
TD’s domestic retail bank is a great example of how our strategy lets
us succeed even when interest rates are near historic lows. We saw
strong growth in business banking and insurance – two of the areas
in which we outperformed and where we continue to see good upside.
And while growth in personal banking volumes moderated as expected,
we saw a resilient performance from our stable and mature real-estate
secured lending business. Building off a great year, we expect continued
earnings momentum in our Wealth business as we attract and grow
client assets, expand our direct investing and advice-based businesses
and remain focused on building, preserving and transitioning wealth
for our retail and institutional clients.

TD BANK GROU P AN NUAL REPO RT 20 11 GR OUP PRESIDENT AND CEO’ S MESSA GE
In the U.S., we’ve continued to see strong volume growth and
we’ve gained market share by lending to good-quality customers and
businesses. We’re also committed to helping drive the U.S. economic
recovery and recently joined a number of other banks in a pledge to
double our small-business lending in the next three years. We’re confi-
dent that our U.S. franchise is well positioned for continued growth.
Our Wholesale bank has a diversified, client-focused business model
and this year showed it’s capable of withstanding a tough environment,
delivering a return on invested capital of more than 24 per cent in
2011. It wasn’t long ago that we set our sights on being a top-3 dealer,
and today we’re competing for the No. 1 or No. 2 spot with our
Canadian peers. We’re very pleased with the direction of TD Securities
and we’re confident it can continue to perform well despite challeng-
ing market conditions.
A GROWTH-ORIENTED BANK
The expansion of our platform this year was again a blend of organic
growth and acquisitions. Aside from adding new locations to our
network to better meet the needs of our customers, we continue
to look for new growth platforms and to increase our scale in under-
penetrated businesses.
We acquired Chrysler Financial, enabling us to create a top-5 North
American bank-owned auto lender. The acquisition is performing well
as part of TD Auto Finance and we view it as a great platform for
asset generation. We also acquired substantially all of MBNA Canada’s
credit card portfolio. This transaction positions us as a top-tier dual
credit card issuer and complements our leading branch distribution
and affinity capabilities.
These two acquisitions were consistent with our conservative approach
to risk: we only take risks we can understand and manage. In the case
of Chrysler Financial, auto loans performed well during the recession,
which was part of what made us comfortable with the portfolio. And
we have extensive experience in the credit card business, so we clearly
understood what we were buying in the MBNA Canada transaction.
Our businesses’ strong ability to generate organic capital continued
to bolster the strength of our balance sheet, with a Tier 1 capital ratio
of 13.0 per cent at the end of the fiscal year. We believe that by
mid-2012, we will comfortably exceed the Basel III requirement on
a fully phased-in basis. We also raised our common share dividends
twice during fiscal 2011, up 11.5 per cent. This decision reflects
the confidence your Board has in TD’s ability to deliver sustainable,
long-term earnings growth.
We continue to look for new revenue streams and we’ll launch new
products and services which make sense for our customers and help
us grow long-term earnings. In 2011, this included investments in our
phone, ATM and online banking capabilities, driving new product
innovation and service and convenience improvements.
Our service offering revolves around understanding what customers
seek in their bank. For example, we’re open longer and we offer seven-
day banking because we understand that not all of our customers bank
during the same business hours. We also understand that many of our
customers don’t bank through the branch, so we launched an easy-
to-use mobile phone application which has become Canada’s most
downloaded banking app.
THE YEAR AHEAD
I’ve spoken in the past about TD crossing the recessionary valley created
by the financial crisis and emerging with momentum on our side.
However, it’s also clear that we’ve emerged from that valley only to find
a plain stretching before us – flat interest rates, flat economic growth
and a generally tough operating climate. We’re keenly aware we can’t
be complacent in this environment. That’s why we’re closely managing
the rate of our expense growth while looking for new sources of revenue.
This isn’t just about deferring expenses or scaling back discretionary
budget items. It’s about re-thinking and re-engineering how we do
business and optimizing the investments we continue to make for the
future of our franchise. It’s about working smarter for our customers
as we continue to build The Better Bank.
TD has a strong business model with a proven track record during
tough times and we believe that challenging markets favour companies
like ours. Today, we’re stronger than we were heading into the 2008
financial crisis and our businesses are nimble and flexible enough to
adapt without having to shift their core strategy.
TD Canada Trust is an incredible growth story and we’re confident
it can continue to deliver despite low rates and a moderation in
personal lending growth. This will likely mean some rotation in the
sources of earnings, with our business banking, insurance and Wealth
playing a greater role.
Our Wealth business has good momentum and we expect it will
continue to see steady flows from new clients, despite volatile markets.
It will also provide TD’s retail and business banking clients with a prop-
osition based on legendary TD service, great advice, best-in-class direct
investing, competitive products and services, and a unique focus on
women investors.
In the U.S., I’m confident we’ll be able to offset the significant
impact of the Durbin Amendment over time, as we did with a similar-
sized overdraft regulation challenge in 2010. We not only absorbed a
significant amount of that impact, but also posted record results in the
process. We’re confident we will be able to respond to new challenges
once again. We’re not focused on just weathering another storm.
We’re focused on growing through it.
TD Securities will continue to build out its franchise businesses and
deliver value to its clients by meeting their investment, liquidity and fund-
ing requirements. The business should see growth from its core dealer
operations next year and we expect it to generate solid risk-adjusted
returns on capital despite an expected tough trading environment.
When I wrote to you last year, I said it’s going to get tougher to
repeat our past successes. Today, I don’t see much to change this
view. However, the enduring resilience and proven strength of our
business model – combined with the incredible dedication that our
employees show every day to our customers – make me confident that
TD’s biggest milestones still lie ahead of us.

Chairman of the Board’s Message
2011 was a year characterized by slow economic growth and increased regulatory complexities.
In spite of a challenging operating environment, TD Bank Group again achieved record results thanks
to the strength of its leadership team and the commitment of its employees.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We believe that good governance is a cornerstone of our success at TD.
For the fifth year in a row, we were recognized for our corporate gover-
nance standards by GovernanceMetrics International, which again ranked
us among the top one per cent of companies it ranks worldwide.
We are proud of TD’s leadership position in board governance, and
your board remains committed to continuous improvement. We regularly
review and update our practices. In fiscal 2011, we updated TD’s execu-
tive compensation disclosure. I am pleased to share that the Canadian
Coalition for Good Governance recognized TD’s efforts in this regard
as part of its 2011 Best Practices Proxy Disclosure report with the award
for Best Disclosure of Approach to Executive Compensation.
BOARD COMPOSITION
We welcomed Karen Maidment of Cambridge, Ontario to the board
in fiscal 2011. Karen brings deep industry experience and a valuable
strategic perspective to the board’s Human Resources Committee
and Risk Committee.
CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE
While we expect the economic conditions in the markets in which the
bank operates to remain challenging, your board has the utmost
confidence that the bank’s management and employees will continue
to deliver superior performance and enhance the bank’s financial
condition and prospects.
Throughout the financial turmoil of the recent past, the board
has been continually impressed by the deep commitment of TD’s
employees. They deserve our thanks for not only helping to deliver
record financial results, but for their efforts in serving our customers
and our communities. I want to acknowledge specifically their
dedication to providing legendary service, and to responding with
overwhelming support to the needs of the communities in which we
operate, for example, through the TD United Way Employee Giving
campaign. Their outstanding contributions speak volumes about their
commitment to our communities.
I’d also like to extend my thanks to our shareholders for their
continued support. Your board remains committed to working on
your behalf, and we look forward to serving you in 2012.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
From time to time, the Bank makes written and/or oral forward-looking statements, including in this document, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, and in other communications. In addition, representatives of the Bank may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others.
All such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under, applicable Canadian and U.S. securities
legislation, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in this document, the
Bank’s 2011 Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) under the headings “Economic Summary and Outlook” and, for each business segment, “Business Outlook and Focus
for 2012” and in other statements regarding the Bank’s objectives and priorities for 2012 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, and the Bank’s anticipated financial performance.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “may” and “could.”
By their very nature, these statements require the Bank to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific. Especially in light of the
uncertainty related to the financial, economic and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond the Bank’s control and the effects of which can
be difficult to predict – may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such differences
include: credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate), liquidity, operational (including technology), reputational, insurance, strategic, regulatory,
legal, environmental, and other risks, all of which are discussed in the 2011 MD&A. Additional risk factors include the impact of recent U.S. legislative developments, as discussed
under “Significant Events in 2011” in the “Financial Results Overview” section of the 2011 MD&A; changes to and new interpretations of capital and liquidity guidelines and reporting
instructions; increased funding costs for credit due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; and the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank or its
affiliates relating to the care and control of information. We caution that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the
Bank’s results. For more detailed information, please see the “Risk Factors and Management” section of the 2011 MD&A. All such factors should be considered carefully, as well as
other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, when making decisions with respect to the Bank and we caution readers not
to place undue reliance on the Bank’s forward-looking statements.
Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2011 MD&A under the headings “Economic Summary and
Outlook” and, for each business segment, “Business Outlook and Focus for 2012”, as updated in subsequently filed quarterly Reports to Shareholders.
Any forward-looking statements contained in this document represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting the Bank’s
shareholders and analysts in understanding the Bank’s financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates
presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from
time to time by or on its behalf, except as required under applicable securities legislation.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
CORPORATE OVERVIEW
The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively known
as TD Bank Group (TD or the Bank). TD is the sixth largest bank in
North America by branches and serves approximately 20.5 million
customers in four key businesses operating in a number of locations
in key financial centres around the globe: Canadian Personal and
Commercial Banking, including TD Canada Trust, TD Insurance, and
TD Auto Finance Canada; Wealth Management, including TD Waterhouse
and an investment in TD Ameritrade; U.S. Personal and Commercial
Banking, including TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank and
TD Auto Finance U.S.; and Wholesale Banking, including TD Securities.
TD also ranks among the world’s leading online financial services firms,
with more than 7.5 million online customers. TD had $686 billion in
assets on October 31, 2011. The Toronto-Dominion Bank trades under
the symbol “TD” on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges.
HOW THE BANK REPORTS
The Bank prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance
with GAAP and refers to results prepared in accordance with GAAP as
“reported” results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures
to arrive at “adjusted” results to assess each of its businesses and to
measure overall Bank performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the
Bank removes “items of note,” net of income taxes, from reported
results. The items of note relate to items which management does not
believe are indicative of underlying business performance. The Bank
believes that adjusted results provide the reader with a better under-
standing of how management views the Bank’s performance. The items
of note are listed in the table on the following page. As explained,
adjusted results are different from reported results determined in accor-
dance with GAAP. Adjusted results, items of note, and related terms
used in this document are not defined terms under GAAP and, there-
fore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.
The Bank is transitioning from Canadian GAAP to International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), effective for interim and annual
periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Refer to Note 34
of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Bank’s IFRS opening
Consolidated Balance Sheet as at November 1, 2010 (IFRS opening
Consolidated Balance Sheet) and related disclosures including a
summary of the Bank’s first-time adoption transition elections under
IFRS 1 and other significant differences between Canadian GAAP
and IFRS. These disclosures form the starting point for TD’s financial
reporting under IFRS and have been provided to allow users of the
financial statements to obtain a better understanding of the expected
effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of the
adoption of IFRS. The interim and annual fiscal 2012 Consolidated
Financial Statements will also include fiscal 2011 comparatives, related
transitional reconciliations, and accompanying note disclosures.

the Bank.

value of derivatives hedging the reclassified available-for-sale debt securities portfolio.
2 Adjusted provisions for credit losses exclude the following items of note: 2010 –

restructuring charges relating to the Commerce acquisition; settlement of TD
Banknorth shareholder litigation of $58 million, as explained in footnote 13;
$55 million Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment

4 For reconciliation between reported and adjusted provision for income taxes,
see the ‘Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Reconciliation of Reported to Adjusted
Provision for Income Taxes’ table in the “Taxes” section.
5 Adjusted equity in net income of associated company excludes the following items
of note: 2011 –$59 million amortization of intangibles , as explained in footnote 6;
2010 – $72 million amortization of intangibles; 2009 – $68 million amortization
of intangibles.
6 Amortization of intangibles primarily relates to the Canada Trust acquisition in
2000, the TD Banknorth acquisition in 2005 and its privatization in 2007, the
Commerce acquisition in 2008, the acquisitions by TD Banknorth of Hudson United
Bancorp (Hudson) in 2006 and Interchange Financial Services (Interchange) in
2007, and the amortization of intangibles included in equity in net income of
TD Ameritrade. Effective 2011, amortization of software is recorded in amortiza-
tion of intangibles; however, amortization of software is not included for purposes
of items of note, which only includes amortization of intangibles acquired as
a result of business combinations.
credit market, the Bank changed its trading strategy with respect to certain trading
debt securities. Since the Bank no longer intended to actively trade in these debt
securities, the Bank reclassified these debt securities from trading to the available-
for-sale category effective August 1, 2008. As part of the Bank’s trading strategy,
these debt securities are economically hedged, primarily with CDS and interest rate
swap contracts. This includes foreign exchange translation exposure related to the
debt securities portfolio and the derivatives hedging it. These derivatives are not
eligible for reclassification and are recorded on a fair value basis with changes in
fair value recorded in the period’s earnings. Management believes that this asym-
metry in the accounting treatment between derivatives and the reclassified debt
securities results in volatility in earnings from period to period that is not indicative
of the economics of the underlying business performance in Wholesale Banking.
Commencing in the second quarter of 2011, the Bank may from time to time
replace securities within the portfolio to best utilize the initial, matched fixed term
funding. As a result, the derivatives are accounted for on an accrual basis in
Wholesale Banking and the gains and losses related to the derivatives in excess
of the accrued amounts are reported in the Corporate segment. Adjusted results
of the Bank exclude the gains and losses of the derivatives in excess of the
accrued amount.
8 As a result of U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking acquisitions and related inte-
gration and restructuring initiatives undertaken, the Bank may incur integration
and restructuring charges. Restructuring charges consisted of employee severance
costs, the costs of amending certain executive employment and award agreements,
contract termination fees and the write-down of long-lived assets due to impair-
ment. Integration charges consisted of costs related to information technology,
employee retention, external professional consulting charges, marketing (including
customer communication and rebranding), and integration-related travel costs.
Beginning in Q2 2010, U.S Personal and Commercial Banking elected not to
include any further Commerce related integration and restructuring charges in this
item of note as the efforts in these areas has wound down and in light of the fact
that the integration and restructuring was substantially complete. Similarily, begin-
ning in Q2 2012, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking is not expected to include
any further FDIC-assisted and South Financial related integration and restructuring
charges. For the twelve months ended October 31, 2011, the integration charges
were driven by the FDIC-assisted and South Financial acquisitions. There were no
restructuring charges recorded.
9 The Bank purchases CDS to hedge the credit risk in Wholesale Banking’s corporate
lending portfolio. These CDS do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and
are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period’s
earnings. The related loans are accounted for at amortized cost. Management
believes that this asymmetry in the accounting treatment between CDS and loans
would result in periodic profit and loss volatility which is not indicative of the
economics of the corporate loan portfolio or the underlying business performance
in Wholesale Banking. As a result, the CDS are accounted for on an accrual basis in
Wholesale Banking and the gains and losses on the CDS, in excess of the accrued
cost, are reported in the Corporate segment. Adjusted earnings exclude the gains
and losses on the CDS in excess of the accrued cost. When a credit event occurs in
the corporate loan book that has an associated CDS hedge, the PCL related to the
portion that was hedged via the CDS is netted against this item of note.

10 This represents the impact of scheduled changes in the income tax statutory rate
on net future income tax balances.
11 The Bank accrued an additional actuarial liability in its insurance subsidiary opera-
tions for potential losses in the first quarter of 2008 related to a court decision in
Alberta. The Alberta government’s legislation effectively capping minor injury
insurance claims was challenged and held to be unconstitutional. In Q3 2009,
the government of Alberta won its appeal of the decision. The plaintiffs sought
leave to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Canada and in Q1 2010,
the Supreme Court of Canada denied the plaintiffs’ application to seek leave to
appeal. As a result of this favourable outcome, the Bank released its provision
related to the minor injury cap litigation in Alberta.
litigation in February 2009 for $61.3 million (US$50 million) of which $3.7 million
(US$3 million) had been previously accrued on privatization. The Court of Chancery
in Delaware approved the settlement of the TD Banknorth Shareholders’ Litigation
effective June 24, 2009, and the settlement became final. The net after-tax impact
of the settlement was $39 million.
14 On May 22, 2009, the FDIC, in the U.S., finalized a special assessment resulting in
a charge of $55 million before tax or US$49 million before tax.
15 The Bank resolved several outstanding tax matters related to Wholesale Banking
strategies that have been previously reassessed by the Canada Revenue Agency
(CRA) and that were awaiting resolution by the CRA appeals division or the courts.
The Bank no longer enters into these types of strategies.

ing various claims against the Bank, TD Banknorth, and TD Banknorth officers and
directors (TD Banknorth Shareholders’ Litigation). The parties agreed to settle the
acquisition in Canada and the U.S. and related integration initiatives undertaken.
Integration charges include costs related to information technology, employee
retention, external professional consulting charges, marketing (including customer
communication and rebranding), and integration-related travel costs. While inte-
gration charges related to this acquisition were incurred for both Canada and
the U.S., the majority of the charges relate to integration initiatives undertaken
for U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking.

ECONOMIC PROFIT AND RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL
The Bank utilizes economic profit as a tool to measure shareholder
value creation. Economic profit is adjusted net income available to
common shareholders less a charge for average invested capital.
Average invested capital is equal to average common equity for the
period plus the average cumulative after-tax goodwill and intangible
assets amortized as of the reporting date. The rate used in the charge
for capital is the equity cost of capital calculated using the capital asset
pricing model. The charge represents an assumed minimum return
required by common shareholders on the Bank’s invested capital.
The Bank’s goal is to achieve positive and growing economic profit.
Return on invested capital (ROIC) is adjusted net income available
to common shareholders divided by average invested capital. ROIC is
a variation of the economic profit measure that is useful in comparison
to the equity cost of capital. Both ROIC and the equity cost of capital
are percentage rates, while economic profit is a dollar measure. When
ROIC exceeds the equity cost of capital, economic profit is positive.
The Bank’s goal is to maximize economic profit by achieving ROIC that
exceeds the equity cost of capital.
Economic profit and ROIC are non-GAAP financial measures as these
are not defined terms under GAAP. Readers are cautioned that earn-
ings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than GAAP do not
have standardized meanings under GAAP and, therefore, may not be
comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.
The following table reconciles between the Bank’s economic profit,
ROIC, and adjusted net income available to common shareholders.
Adjusted results, items of note, and related terms are discussed in
the ”How the Bank Reports” section.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
transaction, TD Securities has made an equity commitment of up
to $192 million. TMX and Maple are working diligently to obtain all
approvals required for the completion of Maple’s offer, including
approvals by securities regulators and the Competition Bureau. In
connection with entering into the support agreement, Maple has
agreed to extend its offer associated with the first step of the above
noted transaction until January 31, 2012.
U.S. Legislative Developments
On July 21, 2010 the President of the United States signed into law
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(the “Dodd-Frank Act” or “the Act”) that provides for widespread
changes to the U.S. financial industry. At over 2,300 pages in length,
the Dodd-Frank Act will ultimately affect virtually every financial insti-
tution operating in the United States, including the Bank, and, due to
certain extraterritorial aspects of the Act, may impact the Bank’s oper-
ations outside the United States. The Dodd-Frank Act makes significant
changes in areas such as banking and bank supervision, the resolution
of, and enhanced prudential standards applicable to, systemically
important financial companies, proprietary trading and certain fund
investments, consumer protection, securities, over-the-counter deriva-
tives, and executive compensation, among others. The Dodd-Frank Act
also calls for the issuance of over 240 pieces of regulatory rulemaking
as well as numerous studies and on-going reports as part of its imple-
mentation. Accordingly, while the Act will have an effect on the busi-
ness of the Bank, especially its business operations in the United
States, the full impact on the Bank will not be known until such time
as the implementing regulations are fully released and finalized.
On November 10, 2011, the Department of the Treasury, the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and the Securities and Exchange Commission
jointly released a proposed rule implementing Section 619 of the
Dodd-Frank Act (the “Volcker Rule”). The Bank is in the process of
analyzing and planning for the implementation of the proposed
Volcker Rule. The Volcker Rule broadly prohibits proprietary trading
and places limitations on so-called permitted trading activities, limits
investments in and the sponsorship of hedge and private equity funds
and requires robust compliance and reporting regimes surrounding
permitted activities. Under the current proposal, the provisions of the
Volcker Rule are applicable to banking entities, including non-U.S.
banks such as the Bank which control insured depository institutions
in the United States or are treated as bank holding companies by virtue
of maintaining a state branch or agency. The proposed Volcker rule
applies to affiliates or subsidiaries of the Bank: the terms “affiliate”
and “subsidiary” are defined by the rule to include those entities
controlled by or under common control with the Bank. The Volcker
Rule will also have an effect on certain of the funds the Bank sponsors
and advises in its asset management business as well as private equity
investments it currently has made.
Although the regulatory guidance is not yet finalized, as part of its
implementation plan, the Bank will be required to distinguish between
prohibited proprietary trading businesses and businesses that primarily
engage in ‘permitted activities’ under the Volcker Rule. The Bank
regards proprietary trading businesses as those where the primary
activity is to build an inventory position in securities, derivatives or
other instruments using the Bank’s own funds or capital, as opposed
to client funds, with the overall objective of profiting from short-term
movements in prices for the Bank’s own account. In addition, proprietary
trading businesses do not have formal market-making responsibilities,
or other risk management accountabilities and deal primarily or exclu-
sively with inter-bank counterparties. They are also typically organiza-
tionally or operationally separate from market-making activities.
While the Volcker Rule will have an effect on the business of the
Bank, the extent of the impact on the Bank will not be known until
such time as the current proposal is finalized.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN 2011
Acquisition of MBNA Canada’s credit card business
On or about December 1, 2011, the Bank is expected to complete
the acquisition of substantially all of the credit card portfolio of MBNA
Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation,
as well as certain other assets and liabilities. At closing, the Bank will
pay a premium of approximately $75 million on the portfolio, which
is expected to total approximately $7.8 billion at December 1, 2011.
The acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method.
On a pro forma basis, the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital ratio would have
been 44 basis points lower as at October 31, 2011 had the acquisition
closed before year-end.1 The pro forma impact does not include the
common shares issued in September 2011. The net impact of the
acquisition on the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital ratio including the common
shares issued would have been negative 12 basis points as at
October 31, 2011.
Acquisition of Chrysler Financial
On April 1, 2011, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstanding equity
of Chrysler Financial in Canada and the U.S. for cash consideration of
approximately $6,390 million including contingent consideration. As
part of the purchase agreement, the Bank is required to pay additional
cash consideration in the event that amounts realized on certain assets
exceed a pre-established threshold. Under Canadian GAAP, contingent
consideration is recorded as part of the purchase price, when the
amount can be reasonably estimated and the outcome is determinable
beyond a reasonable doubt. During September 2011, the amounts
realized on these assets exceeded the threshold and the Bank was
required to pay cash consideration of $70 million. The acquisition
was accounted for by the purchase method. The results of Chrysler
Financial from the acquisition date to October 31, 2011 have been
consolidated with the Bank’s results. The results of Chrysler Financial
in the U.S. are reported in the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
segment. The results of Chrysler Financial in Canada are reported in
the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segment. As at April
1, 2011, the acquisition contributed $3,081 million of net cash and
cash equivalents, $7,322 million of loans, $2,235 million of other
assets, and $6,490 million of liabilities. The estimated fair value for
loans reflects the expected credit losses at the acquisition date. The
excess of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired over that
of the liabilities assumed of approximately $242 million has been
allocated to goodwill, which increased by $73 million, during the
period from acquisition date to October 31, 2011, primarily due to the
recognition of contingent consideration. The purchase price allocation
is subject to refinement as the Bank completes the valuation of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As at October 31, 2011,
Chrysler Financial contributed $69 million of net cash and cash
equivalents, $7,885 million of loans, $1,615 million of other assets,
and $3,058 million of liabilities. Included in loans is $518 million of
acquired credit-impaired loans.
Acquisition of TMX Group
On October 30, 2011, TMX Group Inc. (TMX) and Maple Group
Acquisition Corporation (Maple) announced that they have entered
into a support agreement in respect of Maple’s proposed acquisition of
all of the outstanding TMX shares pursuant to an integrated two-step
transaction valued at approximately $3,800 million. The first step of
the integrated acquisition transaction will involve acquisition of 70%
to 80% of the TMX Group shares for $50 in cash per share, on a pro
rated basis, to be followed by a second step court approved plan of
arrangement that will provide shareholders (other than Maple) with
Maple shares in exchange for their remaining TMX Group shares.
Maple is a corporation whose investors comprise 13 of Canada’s lead-
ing financial institutions and pension funds, including TD Securities
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. As part of the proposed
1 Estimates are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to
differ materially; and TD’s expectations are based on certain factors and assump-
tions. See the “Caution regarding forward-looking statements” included in the
Bank’s press release dated August 15, 2011, which is available on the Bank’s
website at www.td.com, as well as on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the
SEC’s website at www.sec.gov (EDGAR filers section).

TD BANK GROU P AN NUAL REPO RT 20 11 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AN D AN ALYSIS
The Durbin Amendment contained in the Dodd-Frank Act autho-
rizes the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) to issue regulations that set
interchange fees which are “reasonable and proportional” to the
costs of processing such transactions. In June 2011, the FRB issued
final rules limiting debit card interchange fees with a required imple-
mentation date of October 1, 2011 and capped the fee at 21 cents
per transaction plus small amounts to cover fraud related expenses.
The Durbin amendment is expected to impact gross revenue by
approximately US$50-60 million pre-tax per quarter.
Other regulatory changes include amendments to Regulation E, or
the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, which prohibits financial institutions
from charging fees to consumers for paying automated teller machine
and point of sale transactions that result in an overdraft and the
Credit Card Act, which has, among other things, significantly restricted
the Bank’s United States banking subsidiary ability to charge interest
rates and assess fees to reflect individual customer risk.
For more detail on the impact of the Durbin Amendment and
Regulation E, see the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
segment disclosure in the “Business Segment Analysis” section
of this document. The Bank continues to monitor closely these and
other legislative developments and will analyze the impact such
regulatory and legislative changes may have on its businesses.
FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
Net Income
AT A GLANCE OVERVIEW
• Reported net income was $5,889 million, an increase of
$1,245 million, or 27%, from the prior year.
• Adjusted net income was $6,251 million, an increase of
$1,023 million, or 20%, from the prior year.
Reported net income for the year was $5,889 million, compared
with $4,644 million last year. Adjusted net income for the year was
$6,251 million, compared with $5,228 million last year. The increase
in adjusted net income was due to higher earnings in all retail
segments and a lower net loss in Corporate segment, partially offset
by lower earnings in Wholesale Banking. Canadian Personal and
Commercial Banking net income increased due to strong volume and
fee income growth, strong growth in insurance revenue and a decline
in provision for credit losses (PCL), partially offset by a lower margin
on average earning assets. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net
income increased primarily due to strong volume growth, higher core
fee-based revenue, the impact of acquisitions and lower PCL, partially
offset by lower overdraft fees, higher expenses and the translation
effect of a stronger Canadian dollar. Wealth Management net income
increased due to growth in client assets, higher transaction volumes
and improved net interest income. The Corporate segment reported a
lower net loss primarily due to segment transfers and higher earnings
on unallocated capital. Wholesale Banking net income decreased
primarily due to lower trading revenue driven by the significant
uncertainty in the markets, partially offset by higher security gains.
Reported diluted earnings per share were $6.41 this year, a 26%
increase, compared with $5.10 last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per
share were $6.82, an 18% increase, compared with $5.77 last year.
Impact of Foreign Exchange Rate on U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking and TD Ameritrade Translated Earnings
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking earnings and the Bank’s share
of earnings from TD Ameritrade are impacted by fluctuations in the
U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate compared with last year.
Appreciation of the Canadian dollar had an unfavourable impact on
consolidated earnings for the year ended October 31, 2011, compared
with last year, as shown in the table below.

Accounting Principles contained in the Bank’s annual report on Form
40-F for fiscal 2011 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and available on the Bank’s website at http://www.
td.com/investor/index.jsp and at the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov).
Net income available to common shareholders under U.S. GAAP was
$6,418 million, compared with $5,709 million under Canadian GAAP.
The higher U.S. GAAP net income available to common shareholders
primarily resulted from an increase in income due to the de-designation
of certain fair value and cash flow hedging relationships that were
designated under Canadian GAAP, loan securitization income, and
securities gains.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
Revenue
AT A GLANCE OVERVIEW
• Reported revenue was $21,594 million, an increase
of $2,029 million, or 10%, compared with last year.
• Adjusted revenue was $21,418 million, an increase
of $1,855 million, or 9%, compared with last year.
• Net interest income increased by $1,288 million, or 11%,
compared with last year.
• Reported non-interest income increased by $741 million,
or 9%, compared with last year.
• Adjusted non-interest income increased by $567 million,
or 7%, compared with last year.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the year was $12,831 million, an increase of
$1,288 million, or 11%, compared with last year. Higher net interest
income was driven by increases in all retail segments, partially offset by
a decline in Wholesale Banking. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
net interest income increased due to the impact of acquisitions and
strong organic volume growth, partially offset by the translation effect
of a stronger Canadian dollar. Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking net interest income increased largely due to strong volume
growth in loans and deposits, partially offset by a lower margin on aver-
age earning assets. Wealth Management net interest income increased
due to improved net interest margin and higher client deposits and
margin loans. Wholesale Banking net interest income decreased due
to lower trading and non-trading-related net interest income.
NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest margin improved by 2 basis points (bps) in the year to
2.37% from 2.35% last year largely due to higher margins on acquired
portfolios in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking, partially offset by
the low interest rate environment and competitive pricing.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income for the year was $8,763 million, an increase of
$741 million, or 9%, on a reported basis, and $8,587 million on an
adjusted basis, an increase of $567 million, or 7%, compared with
last year. The increase in adjusted non-interest income was driven
by increases in all retail segments, partially offset by a decline in
Wholesale Banking. Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking non-
interest income increased due to strong fee income growth and strong
growth in insurance revenue. Wealth Management non-interest income
increased primarily due to higher fee-based revenue from higher client
assets. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking non-interest income
increased due to higher fee-based revenue and the impact of acquisi-
tions, partially offset by lower overdraft fees due to Regulation E and
the translation effect of a stronger Canadian dollar. Wholesale Banking
non-interest income decreased mainly due to lower trading-related
revenue, partially offset by higher security gains.

TRADING-RELATED INCOME
Trading-related income is the total of net interest income on trading
positions, trading income which includes income from trading loans,
and income from loans designated as trading under the fair value
option that are managed within a trading portfolio. Trading-related
income decreased by $443 million, or 33% from 2010. The decrease
was primarily in interest rate and credit portfolios, partially offset
by increases in foreign exchange and equity and other portfolios
compared to the prior year. The trading environment for interest rate
and credit trading was challenging in 2011 due to volatility in the
credit markets and fewer trading opportunities. Foreign exchange
and equity and other portfolios benefited from wider spreads, and
increased client activity from elevated levels of volatility in the markets.
The mix of trading-related income between net interest income and
trading income is largely dependent upon the level of interest rates,
which drives the funding costs of the Bank’s trading portfolios.
Generally, as interest rates rise, net interest income declines and trad-
ing income reported in non-interest income increases. Management
believes that the total trading-related income is the appropriate
measure of trading performance.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
Expenses
AT A GLANCE OVERVIEW
• Reported non-interest expenses were $13,083 million, an
increase of $920 million, or 8% compared with last year.
• Adjusted non-interest expenses were $12,395 million, an
increase of $931 million, or 8%, compared with last year.
• Reported efficiency ratio improved to 60.6% compared
with 62.2% last year.
• Adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 57.9% compared
with 58.6% last year.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Reported non-interest expenses for the year were $13,083 million, an
increase of $920 million, or 8% compared with last year. Adjusted non-
interest expenses were $12,395 million, an increase of $931 million,
or 8% compared with last year. The increase in adjusted non-interest
expenses was driven by increases in all segments. U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking expenses increased due to acquisitions, investments
in new stores and infrastructure, partially offset by the translation
effect of a stronger Canadian dollar. Wealth Management expenses
increased due to higher employee compensation costs largely driven
by increased revenue, higher infrastructure investment to support
business growth and project costs. Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking expenses increased primarily due to continued investment in
the business. Wholesale Banking expenses increased primarily due
to higher employee costs and investment in risk and control infra-
structure, partially offset by lower variable compensation related to
lower revenue.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSES AND EFFICIENCY RATIO
EFFICIENCY RATIO
The efficiency ratio measures operating efficiency and is calculated
by taking the non-interest expenses as a percentage of total revenue.
A lower ratio indicates a more efficient business operation.
The reported efficiency ratio improved to 60.6%, compared with
62.2% last year. The adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 57.9%,
compared with 58.6% last year. The Bank’s reported and adjusted effi-
ciency ratio improved from last year, primarily due to improved efficiency
in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and Global Wealth.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
Taxes
Reported total income and other taxes increased by $161 million,
or 8%, from 2010. Income tax expense, on a reported basis, was up
$37 million, or 3%, from 2010. Other taxes were up $124 million,
or 14%, from 2010. Adjusted total income and other taxes were up
$245 million, or 11%, from 2010. Total income tax expense, on an
adjusted basis, was up $121 million, or 9%, from 2010.
The Bank’s effective income tax rate, on a reported basis, was
18.4% for 2011, compared with 21.8% in 2010. The year-over-year
decrease was largely due to the reduction in the Canadian statutory
corporate tax rate in the current year and a $121 million charge
related to an agreement with the Canada Revenue Agency last year.
TD reports its investment in TD Ameritrade using the equity method
of accounting. TD Ameritrade’s tax expense of $148 million in the
year, compared to $132 million in 2010, is not part of the Bank’s tax
rate reconciliation.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
Quarterly Financial Information
FOURTH QUARTER 2011 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Reported net income for the quarter was $1,566 million, an increase
of $572 million, or 58%, compared with the fourth quarter last year.
Reported diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $1.69,
compared with $1.07 in the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted net
income for the quarter was $1,634 million, an increase of $374 million,
or 30%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted diluted
earnings per share for the quarter were $1.77, compared with $1.38
in the fourth quarter last year.
Revenue for the quarter was $5,665 million, an increase of
$648 million, or 13%, on a reported basis, and $5,602 million on an
adjusted basis, an increase of $570 million, or 11%, compared with
the fourth quarter last year. The increase in adjusted revenue was
driven by increases in all segments. U.S. Personal and Commercial
Banking revenue increased primarily due to strong organic volume
growth and the impact of acquisitions. Canadian Personal and
Commercial Banking revenue increased due to strong volume growth,
and higher insurance revenue, partially offset by a lower margin on
average earning assets. Wealth Management revenue increased largely
due to higher fee-based revenue from higher average client assets and
increased transaction volumes. Wholesale Banking revenue increased
due to higher security gains and improved trading revenue from equity
derivative and foreign exchange businesses, partially offset by lower
fixed income and credit trading.
Provision for credit losses was $334 million, a decrease of
$70 million, or 17%, from the fourth quarter last year driven by
decreases in all segments due to improved credit quality in both the
U.S. and Canada, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $3,482 million, an increase
of $219 million, or 7%, on a reported basis, and $3,317 million on an
adjusted basis, an increase of $229 million, or 7%, compared with
the fourth quarter last year. The increase in adjusted non-interest
expenses was driven by increases in most segments. U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking expenses increased primarily due to the impact of
acquisitions, investments in infrastructure and new stores. Wholesale
Banking expenses increased due to higher employee related costs and
investment in risk and control infrastructure. Wealth Management
expenses increased primarily due to higher employee related costs,
project costs and increased revenue-based commissions. Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking expenses increased primarily due
to higher employee related costs.
The Bank’s reported effective tax rate was 17.4% for the quarter,
compared with 27.7% in the same quarter last year. The year-over-year
decrease was largely due to the reduction in the Canadian statutory
corporate tax rate in the current year and the impact of a $121 million
charge related to an agreement with the Canada Revenue Agency last
year. The Bank’s adjusted effective tax rate was 18.9% for the quarter,
compared with 20.5% in the same quarter last year. The year-over-year
decrease was largely due to the reduction in the Canadian statutory
corporate tax rate in the current year.
QUARTERLY TREND ANALYSIS
Over the previous eight quarters, the Bank has had strong underlying
adjusted earnings growth from its retail business segments despite the
challenging economic environment. Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking earnings have shown strong growth over the past eight quar-
ters on solid volume growth and declining PCL, partially offset by lower
net interest margin in 2011. Despite the challenging operating and
regulatory environment, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking earn-
ings have steadily increased over the past eight quarters driven by
organic loan and deposit volume growth as well as acquisitions.
Wealth Management revenue showed strong growth over the past
eight quarters due to growth in client assets and improved margins in
2011. Wealth Management earnings include contributions from the
Bank’s reported investment in TD Ameritrade which was up slightly
compared with the prior year due largely to higher trading volumes.
Wholesale Banking’s contribution to earnings has declined from the
elevated levels experienced when the financial markets were rapidly
recovering from the credit crisis. Market conditions have been a head-
wind in 2011 as the European and U.S. debt crises and higher levels of
uncertainty resulted in lower capital market, trading and corporate
lending revenue.
The Bank’s earnings have seasonal impacts, principally the second
quarter being affected by fewer business days.
The Bank’s earnings are also impacted by market-driven events and
changes in foreign exchange rates.

institutions in key financial markets around the world. Wholesale
Banking is an integrated part of TD’s strategy, providing market access
20
to TD’s wealth and retail operations and providing wholesale banking
solutions to our partners and their customers.
The Bank’s other business activities are not considered reportable
segments and are, therefore, grouped in the Corporate segment.
The Corporate segment includes the impact of asset securitization
programs, treasury management, general provisions for credit losses,
tax items at an enterprise level, the elimination of taxable equivalent
and other intercompany adjustments, and residual unallocated
revenue and expenses.
Effective the first quarter of 2011, operating results and associated
loans for the U.S. credit cards business were transferred from Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking to U.S. Personal and Commercial
Banking for segment reporting purposes. In addition, the Bank imple-
mented a change in its allocation methodologies whereby certain items
previously reported in the Corporate segment are now being allocated
to other segments. These changes have no impact on the Bank’s
Annual Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior period results were
not reclassified. These changes are referred to as “segment transfers”
throughout this document. Refer to the “Segment Transfers” section
of this document for further details.
Effective July 4, 2011, executive responsibilities for the TD Insurance
business were moved from Group Head, Canadian Banking, Auto Finance,
and Credit Cards, TD to the Group Head, Wealth Management, Insurance
and Corporate Shared Services, TD. The Bank is currently finalizing its
future reporting format and will update these results for segment report-
ing purposes effective the first quarter of fiscal 2012. These changes will
be applied retroactively.
Results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses, assets,
and liabilities generated by the businesses in that segment. The Bank
measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on
adjusted results where applicable, and for those segments, the Bank
notes that the measure is adjusted. Amortization of intangible expenses
is included in the Corporate segment. Accordingly, net income for
operating business segments is presented before amortization of
intangibles, as well as any other items of note not attributed to the
operating segments, including those items which management does
not consider within the control of the business segments. For more
information, see the “How the Bank Reports” section. For information
concerning the Bank’s measures of economic profit and return on
invested capital, which are non-GAAP measures, see the “Economic
Profit and Return on Invested Capital” section. Segmented information
also appears in Note 27 to the 2011 Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net interest income within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a
taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means the value of non-taxable
or tax-exempt income, for example dividend income, is adjusted to its
equivalent before-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure
income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more
meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions.
The TEB adjustment reflected in Wholesale Banking is eliminated in the
Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the year was $311 million,
compared with $415 million last year.
As noted in Note 5 to the 2011 Consolidated Financial Statements,
the Bank securitizes retail loans and receivables held by Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking in transactions that are accounted
for as sales. For the purpose of segmented reporting, Canadian Personal
and Commercial Banking accounts for the transactions as though they
are financing arrangements. Accordingly, the interest income earned on
the assets sold net of the funding costs incurred by the purchaser trusts
is recorded in net interest income and the PCL related to these assets
is charged to provision for (reversal of) credit losses. This accounting
is reversed in the Corporate segment and the gain recognized on sale
together with income earned on the retained interests net of credit
losses incurred are included in non-interest income.
The “Business Outlook and Focus for 2012” section for each
segment, provided on the following pages, is based on the Bank’s
views and the actual “Economic Summary and Outlook” section and
the outcome may be materially different. For more information, see
the “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section and
the “Risk Factors That May Affect Future Results” section.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ECONOMIC SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
The economic outlook for the Canadian economy has softened some-
what over the last few months. The Canadian economy is on track for
a healthy 3.0% annualized gain in the third quarter of 2011, largely
driven by gains in trade. The sharp rebound in the quarter reflects the
unwinding of temporary factors that weighed heavily on growth in the
prior quarter, such as the supply disruptions caused by the Japanese
earthquake and a number of shutdowns in the energy sector. Looking
beyond temporary factors, underlying economic fundamentals have
begun to fade. Following three years of significant borrowing, house-
holds appear fatigued. Consumer spending has down shifted to an
average annual pace of 1.0% over the last three quarters, following
a 3.3% gain in 2010. Continued low interest rates are expected to
keep debt affordable and households in a good position to support
economic growth. However, as households take a more cautious
approach to accumulating debt, we anticipate a modest pace of
consumer spending going forward. Still, much of Canada’s economic
woes are expected to stem from negative external forces, such as the
ongoing European financial crisis and a tepid economic recovery in the
United States – both of which are expected to weigh on Canadian
export growth and business spending. Overall, we expect the Canadian
economy to grow by just 2.3% in 2011 and 2% in 2012, with economic
growth picking up to a more respectable pace of 2.6% in 2013. This
pace of economic growth and the number of international risks loom-
ing over the global economy are expected to keep the Bank of Canada
rate on hold until early 2013.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
• Posted record earnings of $3,611 million, up 17% from last year.
• Delivered 2% operating leverage and record annual efficiency
CHALLENGES IN 2011
• Continued low interest rate environment led to a decline

of 46.7%.
• Strong loan volume, supported by stable credit quality.
• Ongoing investment in customer-facing areas with the objec-
tive of further improving customer service and convenience.
Opened 170 new branches since 2006, including 24 new
branches in 2011.
• Combined our existing auto lending business with our
purchase of Chrysler Financial.
• Achieved external recognition as an industry leader in
customer service excellence with distinctions that included
the following:
–
–
Rated #1 for “Customer Service Excellence” among
Canada’s five major banks by Synovate, an independent
market research firm for the seventh year in a row. The
Synovate Best Banking Awards for 2011 were based on
survey responses from 40,353 households for the year
ended August 2011, regionally and demographically
representative of the entire Canadian population. Known
as the Customer Service Index, the survey has been in
existence since 1987.
Ranked highest in customer satisfaction among the five
major Canadian banks for the sixth consecutive year by
J.D. Power and Associates. 2011 results represented
responses from 12,740 Canadian retail banking customers,
fielded in March and June 2011 by J.D. Power and
Associates, a global marketing information services firm.
TD Canada Trust set the highest benchmark scores across
six major drivers of customer satisfaction: account activi-
ties, account information, product offerings, facility, fees,
and problem resolution.
• Heightened competition from the major Canadian banks and
other competitors in residential secured lending, credit cards,
and term deposits.
• Consumer deleveraging in lines of credit.
INDUSTRY PROFILE
The personal and business banking environment in Canada is very
competitive among the major banks as well as some strong regional
players. The intense competition makes it difficult to sustain market
share gains and distinctive competitive advantage over the long term.
The Canadian auto finance industry is also very competitive among
the major banks and captive finance companies. Continued success
depends upon outstanding customer service and convenience, disci-
plined risk management practices, and expense management. The
Canadian property and casualty insurance industry features a relatively
large number of participants each with limited market share. The life
and health insurance industry in Canada and the reinsurance market
internationally are more consolidated featuring a few large players.
OVERALL BUSINESS STRATEGY
The strategy for Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking is to:
• Integrate the elements of the comfortable customer experience
into everything we do.
• Be recognized as an extraordinary place to work.
• Use our strengths to build out under-represented businesses.
• Simplify activities to be an efficient revenue growth engine.
• Invest in the future to deliver top tier earnings performance
consistently.
• TD Insurance gross originated insurance premiums grew 5%, and
TD General Insurance retained the #1 direct writer position.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking generated record net
income for the year of $3,611 million, an increase of $516 million,
or 17%, from last year. Return on invested capital for the year was
39.0%, compared with 33.4% last year.
Revenue for the year was $10,810 million, an increase of $439 million,
or 4% (6% excluding segment transfers), compared with last year,
mainly due to strong volume growth, as well as strong insurance reve-
nue from solid premium growth and better claims experience. Margin
on average earning assets decreased 15 bps to 2.77% compared with
last year. The decline was attributable to the low rate environment,
competitive pricing, and portfolio mix. Real estate secured lending,
business loans, auto lending, personal and business deposits, as well
as insurance posted strong volume growth. Real estate secured lending
volume, including securitized assets, increased $14.8 billion, or 8%.
Auto lending volume increased $2.2 billion, or 22% with the acquisi-
tion of Chrysler Financial contributing $0.4 billion. Business loans and
acceptances volume increased $3.6 billion, or 11%. Personal deposit
volume increased $4.6 billion, or 4%, while business deposit volume
increased $6.2 billion, or 11%. Gross originated insurance premiums
increased $166 million, or 5%.
PCL for the year was $820 million, a decrease of $226 million, or
22% (16% excluding segment transfers), compared with last year
mainly due to improved credit portfolio performance and enhanced
collection strategies. Personal banking PCL was $786 million, a
decrease of $164 million ($111 million excluding segment transfers),
or 17%, and business banking PCL was $34 million, a decrease of
$63 million, or 65%. PCL as a percentage of credit volumes was
0.31%, a decline of 12 bps from last year. Net impaired loans were
$596 million, an increase of $44 million, or 8%, compared with last
year. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.22%,
which was flat compared with October 31, 2010.
Non-interest expenses for the year were $5,052 million, an increase
of $118 million, or 2% (3% excluding segment transfers), compared
with last year primarily due to continued investment in the business.
The average FTE staffing levels increased by 452, or 1%. The efficiency
ratio improved to a record 46.7%, compared with 47.6% last year.
KEY PRODUCT GROUPS
Personal Banking
• Personal Deposits – In 2011, the Bank continued to leverage
its market share position to deliver solid volume growth. While
competitive pressure for accounts has been increasing, the Bank
maintained its leadership in market share and continued to grow
net active accounts.
• Consumer Lending – Modest growth in personal lending and
Business Banking
• Commercial Banking – Continued investment in new branch locations,
customer-facing resources, and sales tools resulted in strong volume
growth and market share gains across all products, particularly depos-
its, which posted double digit growth. Credit losses were lower than
the previous year as economic conditions stabilized.
• Small Business Banking – The customer base continued to grow
during the year generating strong deposit volume growth. The busi-
ness continued to invest in additional small business advisors in our
retail branches, as well as in sales tools to better enable the retail
sales force to serve customers.
• Merchant Services Banking – We offer point-of-sale solutions for
debit and credit card transactions, supporting over 100,000 business
locations across the country. Business volumes and revenue contin-
ued to increase in 2011 as a result of stronger spending, continued
benefits from the acquisition of the MasterCard customer portfolio
in 2010 from First Data, and the launch of a direct sales force for
the businesses.
Insurance
• TD General Insurance – Strong unit growth in our affinity business
and repricing of the direct business led to solid premium growth
which along with better claims management drove significant earnings
improvement, consolidating TD Insurance’s position as the leader in
the direct personal automobile and home insurance industry and
affinity business in Canada.
• TD Life and Health – Solid premium growth from providing Life and
Health solutions to over 3 million Canadians, and expense manage-
ment, led to strong earnings growth. TD Insurance offers a full
range of products to meet client needs including travel insurance,
term life insurance, critical illness, and mortgage, credit card and
loan insurance.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND FOCUS FOR 2012
Heading into 2012, Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking
has good operating momentum – a leadership position in branch
hours, leverage from ongoing and consistent investments in the
sales force, growing market share in the business bank, and the
contribution from the MBNA acquisition. However, the impact
of lower margins and slower underlying personal banking
growth will be key revenue growth challenges. We expect retail
credit loss rates to remain relatively stable into 2012 and fore-
cast commercial credit losses to increase to more normalized
levels. While we will manage operating expenses tightly, we
will continue to make appropriate investments in our business.
Overall, we expect earnings growth to moderate.

acquisition helped to offset slowing consumer demand.
Our key priorities for 2012 include:

loads contributed to strong but moderating growth in 2011. Despite
the challenging environment, the Bank maintained its leadership
position in market share.
• TD Auto Finance Canada – Continued growth primarily driven
by strong auto sales.
• Create an integrated customer service experience across
all channels.
• Mitigate impact from slower growth operating environment
by improving efficiency through streamlining, and simplifying
technology, processes and controls.
• Continue to grow under-represented businesses and identify
new sources of revenue.
• Meet year one integration goals for the MBNA Canada
acquisition.

wealth organizations. TD has a leading market share in direct investing
and asset management, and a growing share of the advice-based busi-
nesses. Given the level of competition in Canada, success lies in our
ability to differentiate our client experience in our direct investing
business, and to provide investment solutions and advice to manage
our advised clients’ wealth accumulation, preservation and transition
to meet their needs.
In the U.S., the wealth management industry is large but fragmented,
consisting of banks, mutual fund companies, and discount brokers. In
our Maine-to-Florida footprint, the Bank competes against national and
regional banks, as well as brokerage companies.
In the U.K. and Europe, the industry is led by strong regional players
with little pan-European presence or brand. TD competes by providing
multi-currency and multi-exchange online direct investing services for
retail investors, and custody and clearing services for corporate clients.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Wealth Management net income for the year was $776 million, an
increase of $135 million, or 21%, compared with last year. Global
Wealth net income, which excludes TD Ameritrade, was $569 million,
an increase of $122 million or 27% driven by growth across all business
lines. The Bank’s reported investment in TD Ameritrade generated
$207 million of net income, an increase of $13 million, or 7%, compared
with last year. The increase was driven by higher operating earnings in
TD Ameritrade, partially offset by a stronger Canadian dollar. For its
fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, TD Ameritrade reported net
income of US$638 million, an increase of US$46 million, or 8%,
compared with last year. Wealth Management’s return on invested
capital was 18.4%, compared with 14.5% last year.
Revenue for the year was $2,779 million, an increase of $322 million,
or 13%, compared with last year. Revenue in the asset management
and advice-based businesses increased primarily due to growth in
average client assets which drove stronger fee-based revenue. Direct
investing revenue increased due to higher net interest income
mainly from expansion in net interest margin, higher client deposits
and margin loans, and increased transaction revenue from higher
transaction volumes.
Non-interest expenses for the year were $1,989 million, an increase
of $176 million, or 10%, compared with last year. The increase in
expenses was mainly due to higher variable costs driven by increased
revenue from higher asset values in the advice-based and asset
management businesses, increased compensation costs associated
with higher average FTE, higher infrastructure investment to support
business growth, and non-recurring project costs.
The average FTE staffing levels for the year increased by 196, or 3%,
compared with last year. The increase was due to both support staff
for business and infrastructure growth, and in client-facing FTE staff.
The efficiency ratio for the year improved to 71.6% compared to
73.8% in the prior year.
Assets under administration of $241 billion as at October 31, 2011
increased by $16 billion, or 7%, compared with October 31, 2010,
primarily due to net new client assets. Assets under management of
$189 billion as at October 31, 2011 increased by $6 billion, or 3%
compared with October 31, 2010.
TD AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION
As at October 31, 2011, the Bank’s reported investment in TD Ameritrade
was 44.96% (July 31, 2011 – 43.76%; October 31, 2010 – 45.93%)
of the issued and outstanding shares of TD Ameritrade.
On August 6, 2010 and October 31, 2011, the Stockholders
Agreement was amended in each case such that: (i) the Bank has until
January 24, 2014 to reduce its ownership in TD Ameritrade to 45% if
the Bank’s ownership interest exceeds 45% as a result of authorized
repurchases of common stock by TD Ameritrade; (ii) the Bank is
required to commence reduction of its ownership in TD Ameritrade
and continue its reduction as long as it can be executed at a price per
share equal to or greater than the Bank’s then-applicable average
carrying value per share of TD Ameritrade; and (iii) in connection with
stock repurchases by TD Ameritrade, the Bank’s ownership interest in
TD Ameritrade will not exceed 48%.
In accordance with the Bank’s previously disclosed intention, the
Bank sold 17.3 million shares of TD Ameritrade during the year and
recognized a gain of $8.1 million on this sale.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND FOCUS FOR 2012
Market volatility and economic uncertainty experienced in the
latter part of 2011 are expected to continue into early 2012 with
no signs of stabilizing in the near term. The low interest rate
environment is expected to prevail throughout 2012 sustaining
the pressure on margins. Despite these external environmental
challenges, our business fundamentals are strong and our pros-
pects for growth remain positive as we move into fiscal 2012.
Our key priorities for 2012 are as follows:
• Build on our leadership in the direct investing business by
introducing new client solutions and improving service.
• Grow market share in our advice-based businesses via plan-
ning tools and client experience enhancements.
• Leverage our partnerships within the Bank.
• Focus on unique client segments to service their specific
financial needs.
• Leverage our premier institutional asset management
capabilities as we compete for new mandates.
• Enhance our technology and operations capabilities to drive
further efficiencies across the wealth management platform
and to provide best-in-class client service levels.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The U.S. banking industry has experienced a significant amount of
consolidation over the past few years. The personal and business
banking environment in the U.S. is very competitive in all areas of the
business. TD Bank is subject to vigorous competition from other banks
and financial institutions, including savings banks, finance companies,
credit unions, and other providers of financial services. The keys to
profitability are attracting and retaining customer relationships over
the long term by owning the convenience and service space within our
operating footprint, effective risk management, rational product pric-
ing, use of technology to deliver products and services for customers
anytime and anywhere, optimizing fee-based businesses, and effective
control of operating expenses.
OVERALL BUSINESS STRATEGY
The strategy for U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking is to:
• Continue to take share while controlling expenses.
• Evolve the business in response to regulatory changes – at appropriate
pace and cost.
• Implement franchise optimization e.g., wallet share in retail and
commercial; banking for TD Ameritrade customers; productivity
improvements.
• Continue building large bank functionality and capability.
• Manage asset quality.
• Optimize balance sheet and capital structure and grow assets to
deploy excess liquidity.
• Execute on the acquisitions and related integration and capture
deposit margins.
synergies.
• Weak loan demand due to slow economic recovery and
prolonged weakness in employment.
• Increased competition has led to pressure on margins.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
• Residential Real Estate Secured Lending – Grew profitable market
share and franchise customers, with strong credit quality, during
a tough economic environment. Loan volumes have increased by
approximately US$4 billion over last year driven by higher origina-
tions. In-store originations are a key focus to leverage cross-sell
opportunities.
• Small Business Banking and Merchant Services – The Small Business
Banking group continues to be among the top ranked small business
lenders in most of our markets. Merchant Services offers point-of-
sale settlement solutions for debit and credit card transactions,
supporting over 15,000 business locations in our footprint.
Commercial Banking
• Commercial Banking – While overall commercial loan demand
remained tepid in the operating environment, loan volume grew by
10% organically, significantly outperforming peers. Loan losses have
improved throughout the portfolio and our overall asset quality
remains better than the industry.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND FOCUS FOR 2012
We will continue to build on our strength of industry-leading
convenience banking, providing superior customer service, and
efficient, local decision making. We expect to open in excess of
30 new stores in fiscal 2012. Adjusted for acquisitions, expense
growth is expected to moderate and will be driven by invest-
ments in future growth including new stores and technology
infrastructure. PCL is expected to continue to normalize in 2012.
Revenue growth will be muted by the impact of prolonged low
interest rates and the Durbin amendment. The Durbin amend-
ment is expected to impact gross revenue by approximately
US$50-60 million pre-tax per quarter. Regulatory and legislative
actions will continue to impact the operating environment and
economics of TD Bank which will result in an increased focus on
evolving the product offering to TD Bank’s customers while
maintaining a strong market position. The goal of U.S. Personal
and Commercial Banking is to achieve consistent earnings
growth over the long-term. Our key priorities for 2012 are
as follows:
• Continue momentum in organic growth of core deposits and
loans, while keeping strong credit quality.
• Continue to deliver convenient banking solutions and services
that exceed customer expectations.
• Continue business expansion by opening new stores in larger
markets such as New York, Florida, Boston and Washington DC.
• Manage controllable expenses closely given increased
pressure on revenue.
• Create a universal financial services institution by broadening
and deepening customer relationships through cross-selling
initiatives.
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net income, in Canadian dollar
terms, for the year was $1,256 million, an increase of $283 million,
or 29%, on a reported basis, and $1,325 million on an adjusted basis,
an increase of $283 million, or 27%, compared with last year. In U.S.
dollar terms, reported net income was $1,275 million, an increase
of $334 million, or 35%, and net income on an adjusted basis was
US$1,345 million, an increase of US$337 million, or 33%. The increase
was primarily due to higher core fee-based revenue, increased loan
and deposit volume, and lower PCL, partially offset by higher expenses
and the impact of Regulation E on overdraft fees. Adjusted net income
for the current and prior year excluded integration and restructuring
charges relating to acquisitions. The return on invested capital was
7.5%, compared with 5.8% last year. On April 1, 2011, the Bank
acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Chrysler Financial for cash
consideration of approximately $6.4 billion. As at April 1, 2011, the
acquisition contributed $3.1 billion of net cash and cash equivalents,
$7.3 billion of loans, $2.2 billion of other assets, and $6.5 billion
of liabilities.
In U.S. dollar terms, revenue for the year was US$5,772 million, an
increase of US$1,181 million, or 26%, compared with last year, driven
by increased loan and deposit volume, higher fee-based revenue and
the impact of acquisitions. The margin on average earning assets for
the year increased by 14 bps to 3.63% compared with last year as
higher margins on acquired portfolios were partially offset by the
impact of a low rate environment.
Total PCL for the year was US$677 million, an increase of
US$56 million, or 9%, compared with last year due primarily to the
acquired loan portfolios. PCL for loans excluding acquired credit-
impaired loans and debt securities classified as loans as a percentage
of credit volume was 0.76%, a decrease of 32 bps, compared with last
year. Net impaired loans, excluding acquired credit-impaired loans and
debt securities classified as loans, were US$1,144 million a decrease of
US$47 million, or 4%, compared with last year due to lower levels of
new formations and continued improvement in credit quality. Acquired
credit-impaired loans totalled US$5.6 billion at October 31, 2011
versus US$6.9 billion at October 31, 2010 while net impaired debt
securities classified as loans were US$1.4 billion versus US$1.0 billion
at October 31, 2010. Reported non-interest expenses for the year were
US$3,495 million, an increase of US$690 million, or 25%, compared
with last year. On an adjusted basis, excluding the items of note for
integration and restructuring charges, non-interest expenses were
US$3,379 million, an increase of US$677 million, or 25%, due to
acquisitions (the South Financial Group and Chrysler Financial), invest-
ments in new stores, investments in infrastructure, and economic and
regulatory factors.
The average FTE staffing levels for the year increased by 4,241,
or 21%, compared with last year due to new stores and acquisitions,
partially offset by synergies and store consolidation. The reported
efficiency ratio for the year improved to 60.6%, compared with 61.1%
last year. The adjusted efficiency ratio for the year improved 30 bps
compared with last year.
KEY PRODUCT GROUPS
Personal Banking
• Personal Deposits – Continued to build on our reputation as
America’s Most Convenient Bank by opening 37 new stores in fiscal
2011. Delivered strong year-over-year growth driven by maturing
stores and a competitive product offering.
• Consumer Lending – Principal product offerings of home equity
loans and lines of credit and auto loans offered through a network
of auto dealers continued to grow organically. Loan loss rates have
improved over the prior year and remain at the lower end of loss
rates in the industry.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The wholesale banking sector in Canada is a mature market with
competition primarily coming from the Canadian banks, large global
investment firms, and independent niche dealers. The trading environ-
ment was challenging in 2011. As key government issuers struggled
with low growth and large debt and deficit burdens credit spreads
increased which resulted in asset devaluation. Uncertainty over the
resolution of these issues negatively affected investor confidence
which further depressed market conditions. Most competitors have
shifted their focus to client-driven trading revenue and fee income to
reduce risk and preserve capital which has resulted in tighter margins.
Industry volumes and returns decreased compared to 2009 and 2010
which benefited as markets rebounded from the crisis in 2008. In the
short term, we expect continued uncertainty in the markets with the
risk of ongoing lower levels of activity and further volatility in asset
values. Looking longer term, wholesale banks that offer a wide range
of products and services will be well positioned as investor confidence
returns and markets improve.

Non-interest expenses for the year were $1,468 million, an increase
of $73 million, or 5%, compared with last year. The increase primarily
relates to higher employee related costs in businesses that position us
for future growth and additional investments in risk and control infra-
structure. These increases were partially offset by lower variable
compensation related to lower revenue.
KEY PRODUCT GROUPS
Investment Banking and Capital Markets
• Investment banking and capital markets revenue, which includes
advisory, underwriting, trading, facilitation, and execution services,
was $1,730 million, a decrease of $621 million, or 26%, compared
with last year. The decrease was primarily due to economic uncer-
tainty which drove lower fixed income and credit trading revenue
and lower advisory revenue. In the prior year, favourable market
conditions characterized by tightening credit spreads and elevated
client activity resulted in strong, broad-based performance and
allowed for the opportunistic exit of a number of transactions.
Partially offsetting these decreases was higher equity underwriting
and commission revenue.
Corporate Banking
• Corporate banking revenue which includes corporate lending, trade
finance and cash management services was $453 million, a decrease
of $1 million compared with last year.
Equity Investments
• The equity investment portfolio, which we are in the process of
exiting consists of private equity investments only. Equity investments
reported total gains of $319 million, compared with a gain of
$69 million in the prior year.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Wholesale Banking net income for the year was $813 million, a
decrease of $53 million, or 6%, on a reported basis, and $174 million,
or 18%, on an adjusted basis, compared with last year. Throughout
the year, markets came under heavy pressure from the European and
U.S. debt crises and negative growth outlooks around the world. The
convergence of these issues and the uncertainty they caused, resulted
in significantly lower client volumes particularly in fixed income trading
in Europe and the U.S. These declines were partially offset by stronger
equity underwriting fees and commissions, and increased security
gains. The return on invested capital for the year remained strong at
24.4%, but down from 30.7% last year.
Wholesale Banking revenue is derived primarily from capital
markets activity and corporate banking. Revenue for the year was
$2,502 million, a decrease of $372 million, or 13%, compared with
last year. Capital markets revenue decreased primarily due to lower
revenue in fixed income and credit trading. Trading revenue moder-
ated from the prior year’s level as concerns emanating from the U.S.
and European sovereign debt crisis caused volatility in credit spreads
and declining asset values. Client volumes fell due to a lack of clear
direction in markets, and this combined with increased competition
led to tighter bid-offer spreads, and reduced trading opportunities.
Corporate lending revenue also decreased from the prior year due to
lower volumes and margins. Partially offsetting these decreases were
security gains from the investment portfolio, improved equity under-
writing and commission revenue due to higher origination activity as
global equity markets remained strong.
PCL comprises specific provision for credit losses and accrual
costs for credit protection. The change in market value of the credit
protection, in excess of the accrual cost, is reported in the Corporate
segment. PCL for the year was $22 million, a decrease of $3 million,
or 12%, compared with last year. PCL in the current year primarily
reflected the accrual cost of credit protection.
34
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND FOCUS FOR 2012
Overall, we expect the operating environment to remain
challenging in 2012. Unresolved issues in the macroeconomic
environment are expected to perpetuate the high volatility and
low liquidity conditions that plagued 2011. This environment
coupled with increased competition will yield lower volumes
and fewer trading opportunities. However, when economic
conditions stabilize, capital markets activity should improve
with potential increases in debt and equity origination and
M&A and advisory fees.
Our key priorities for 2012 are as follows:
• Continue to build the franchise by broadening and deepening
client relationships and investing in flow-based businesses
including U.S rates and global currency trading businesses.
• Target business to achieve a normalized rate of return on
equity of 15% to 20% while remaining within the risk appetite
of the Bank.
• Maintain an effective risk management and controls culture
while improving operational efficiency through disciplined
expense management.

The Corporate segment reported net loss for the year was $567 million,
compared with a reported net loss of $931 million last year. The adjusted
net loss for the year was $274 million, compared with an adjusted net
loss of $537 million last year. The year-over-year change in the adjusted
net loss was primarily attributable to segment transfers and higher
earnings on unallocated capital. Segment transfers reduced the adjusted
Corporate segment net loss by $144 million.
CORPORATE MANAGEMENT
The Corporate segment’s mandate is to provide centralized advice
and counsel to our key businesses and to those who serve our global
customers directly. This includes support from a wide range of func-
tional groups, as well as the design, development, and implementation
of processes, systems, and technologies to ensure that the Bank’s key
businesses operate efficiently, reliably, and in compliance with all
applicable regulatory requirements.
The corporate management function of the Bank comprises audit,
legal, compliance, corporate and public affairs, government and regu-
latory affairs, economics, enterprise technology solutions, finance,
treasury and balance sheet management, people strategies, marketing,
office of the ombudsman, enterprise real estate management, risk
management, global physical security, strategic sourcing, global strat-
egy, enterprise project management, corporate environment initiatives,
and corporate development.
The enterprise Direct Channels and Distribution Strategy group is
part of Corporate Operations and is responsible for the online, phone,
and ABM/ATM channels, delivering a best in class experience across
TD’s North American businesses. The vision of the group is to create
an even more integrated, seamless, effortless, and legendary customer
experience for TD Bank, TD Canada Trust, and TD Wealth
Management.
Ensuring that the Bank stays abreast of emerging trends and devel-
opments is vital to maintaining stakeholder confidence in the Bank and
to addressing the dynamic complexities and challenges from changing
demands and expectations of our customers, shareholders and employ-
ees, governments, regulators, and the community at large.

SEGMENT TRANSFERS
Effective the first quarter of fiscal 2011, operating results and associated
loans for the U.S. credit cards business were transferred from
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking to U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking for segment reporting purposes. In addition, the
Bank implemented a change in its allocation methodologies whereby
certain items previously reported in the Corporate segment are now
being allocated to other segments. These changes have no net impact
on the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior period results
were not reclassified. The following table summarizes the segment
transfers for the year ended October 31, 2011.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the year was $11,543 million, an increase of
$217 million, or 2%, compared with last year. The growth was driven
primarily by the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and
Wealth Management segments, partially offset by declines in the
Wholesale Banking and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
segments. Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net interest
income increased largely due to volume growth particularly in
personal and business deposits and real estate secured lending.
Wealth Management net interest income increased due to improved
margins and volume. Wholesale Banking net interest income
decreased primarily due to lower trading-related net interest income.
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net interest income decreased
due to the translation effect of a stronger Canadian dollar. In U.S.
dollars, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net interest income
increased by $358 million or 12%.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income for the year was $8,022 million, an increase of
$1,488 million, or 23%, on a reported basis, and $8,020 million, an
increase of $726 million, or 10%, on an adjusted basis, compared with
last year. The increase in adjusted non-interest income was due to
increases in all segments. Wholesale Banking non-interest income
increased mainly due to significant security losses in the investment
portfolio last year. Wealth Management non-interest income increased
primarily due to higher average assets under management and higher
average fees due to change in mix as a result of client preferences.
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking non-interest income
increased due to strong volume growth in the fee-based businesses.
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking non-interest income increased
due to higher fee-based revenue and the impact of recent acquisitions,
partially offset by the translation effect of a stronger Canadian dollar.
36
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Reported non-interest expenses for the year were $12,163 million,
compared with $12,211 million last year, a decrease of $48 million
compared with last year. Adjusted non-interest expenses were
$11,464 million, an increase of $448 million, or 4% compared with
last year. The increase in adjusted non-interest expenses was due to
increases in the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, Wealth
Management, and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segments.
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking non-interest expenses
increased largely due to higher employee compensation, project-
related costs, non-credit losses, and the investment in new branches,
partially offset by lower litigation costs and capital taxes. Wealth
Management non-interest expenses increased due to higher variable
compensation and trailer fees, the inclusion of U.K. acquisitions, and
continued investment in growing the sales force in advice-based busi-
nesses. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking non-interest expenses
increased due to investments in new stores and infrastructure, partially
offset by the translation effect of a stronger Canadian dollar.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Reported total income and other taxes increased by $1,050 million,
or 96%, from 2009. Income tax expense, on a reported basis, was up
$1,021 million, or 424%, from 2009. Other taxes were up $29 million,
or 3%, from 2009. Adjusted total income and other taxes were up
$493 million, or 28%, from 2009. Total income tax expense, on an
adjusted basis, was up $464 million, or 50%, from 2009.
The Bank’s effective income tax rate, on a reported basis, was 21.8%
for 2010, compared with 7.6% in 2009. The year-over-year increase
was mainly due to an increase in net income before taxes, a proportion-
ate decrease in tax exempt income, a higher tax rate on international
operations, and a $121 million charge related to an agreement with
Canada Revenue Agency.
TD reports its investment in TD Ameritrade using the equity method
of accounting. TD Ameritrade’s tax expense of $132 million in the
year, compared to $196 million in 2009, is not part of the Bank’s tax
rate reconciliation.
BALANCE SHEET
Factors Affecting Assets and Liabilities
Year-over-year comparison – October 31, 2010 vs. October 31, 2009
Total assets were $620 billion as at October 31, 2010, an increase
of $62 billion, or 11%, compared with October 31, 2009. The
increase reflected a $23 billion increase in securities, an $18 billion
increase in securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements,
a $17 billion increase in loans (net of allowance for loan losses) and
a $5 billion increase in other assets.
Securities increased by $23 billion largely due to growth in available-
for-sale securities in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking driven by
the investment of TD Ameritrade deposits. The translation effect of the
stronger Canadian dollar caused the value of securities in U.S. Personal
and Commercial Banking to decrease by $4 billion.
Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements
increased by $18 billion largely due to an increase in Wholesale Banking.
Loans (net of allowance for loan losses) increased $17 billion, or
7%, primarily driven by volume growth in the Canadian Personal and
Commercial Banking and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
segments. The increase in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking
loans was due to increases in consumer instalment and other personal
loans, residential mortgages, and business and government loans.
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking loans increased primarily due
to business and government loans and residential mortgages. The
FDIC-assisted transactions and the acquisition of The South Financial
Group, Inc. added $8 billion to total loans. The translation effect of the
stronger Canadian dollar caused the value of loans (net of allowance
for loan losses) in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking to decrease
by $4 billion.
Other assets increased by $5 billion primarily due to an increase in
the market value of derivatives and other assets in Wholesale Banking.
Total liabilities were $577 billion as at October 31, 2010, an increase
of $59 billion, or 11%, compared with October 31, 2009. The net
increase was primarily due to a $39 billion increase in deposits and
a $21 billion increase in other liabilities. The translation effect of the
stronger Canadian dollar caused the value of liabilities in U.S. Personal
and Commercial Banking to decrease by $11 billion.
Deposits increased $39 billion, or 10%, primarily due to a $26 billion
increase in personal deposits, primarily driven by volume increases in
the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking segments, and $18 billion increase in business
and government deposits, and higher TD Ameritrade insured deposit
accounts, partially offset by a $12 billion decrease in trading deposits
in the Wholesale Banking segment. The FDIC-assisted transactions and
the acquisition of The South Financial Group added $11 billion to total
deposits. The translation effect of the stronger Canadian dollar caused
the value of the deposits in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking to
decrease by $9 billion.
Other liabilities increased $21 billion, or 18%, primarily due to a
$15 billion increase in obligations related to securities sold short and
under repurchase agreements and a $6 billion increase in the market
value of derivatives, driven by Wholesale Banking.
Shareholders’ equity increased by $4 billion primarily due to
retained earnings growth and higher common share capital due to
new share issuances.
37
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 2010 FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
2010 Financial Performance
by Business Line
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income for the
year was a record $3,095 million, an increase of $623 million, or 25%,
from last year. Return on invested capital for the year was 33.4%,
compared with 28.1% last year.
Revenue for the year was $10,371 million, an increase of $922 million,
or 10%, compared with last year, mainly due to strong volume growth
across most banking products. Margin on average earning assets
increased 2 bps to 2.92% compared with last year, due to higher
margins in real estate secured lending, partially offset by margin
compression in deposits due to the prolonged low rate environment
and lower mortgage breakage revenue. Volume growth was primarily
in real estate secured lending, personal and business deposits and
insurance. Real estate secured lending volume, including securitized
assets, increased $19.8 billion, or 12%, while consumer loan volume
increased $3.8 billion, or 13%. Business loans and acceptances
volume increased $1.4 billion, or 5%. Personal deposit volume
increased $5.4 billion, or 4%, while business deposit volume increased
$6.6 billion, or 14%. Gross originated insurance premiums increased
$313 million, or 11%.
PCL for the year was $1,046 million, a decrease of $109 million, or
9%, compared with last year. Personal banking PCL was $950 million,
a decrease of $101 million, or 10%, and business banking PCL was
$96 million, a decrease of $7 million, or 7%. PCL as a percentage
of average assets was 0.4%, decreasing 10 bps from last year. Net
impaired loans were $553 million, a decrease of $2 million, compared
with last year. Net impaired loans in Commercial Banking were
$62 million, a decrease of $51 million, or 45%, compared with last year,
due to active file management. Net impaired loans as a percentage of
total loans were 0.85%, compared with 0.93% as at October 31, 2009.
Non-interest expenses for the year were $4,934 million, an increase
of $209 million, or 4%, compared with last year primarily due to
higher employee compensation, project-related costs, non-credit
losses, and the investment in new branches, partially offset by lower
litigation costs and capital taxes.
The average FTE staffing levels increased by 1,383, or 4%, compared
with last year. The efficiency ratio improved to 47.6%, compared with
50.0% last year.
Wealth Management net income for the year was $641million,
an increase of $44 million, or 7%, compared with last year. Global
Wealth net income, which excludes TD Ameritrade, was $447 million,
an increase of $102 million, or 30%, mainly due to higher fee-based
revenue from higher average client assets in the advice-based and asset
management businesses, and higher net interest margin expansion
due to effective treasury management strategies. The Bank’s reported
investment in TD Ameritrade generated $194 million of net income,
a decrease of $58 million, or 23%, compared with last year. The
decrease was driven by the translation effect of a stronger Canadian
dollar and lower earnings in TD Ameritrade. For its fiscal year ended
September 30, 2010, TD Ameritrade reported net income in Canadian
dollars was $592 million, a decrease of $52 million, or 8%, compared
with last year. Wealth Management’s return on invested capital was
14.5%, compared with 12.8% last year.
Revenue for the year was $2,457 million, an increase of $252 million,
or 11%, compared with last year. The increase was primarily due to
higher average assets under management and higher average fees due
to change in mix as a result of client preferences. Online brokerage
revenue increased slightly due to higher net interest income partially
offset by lower transaction revenue. Advice-based revenue increased
primarily due to higher average client assets.
Non-interest expenses for the year were $1,813 million, an increase
of $112 million, or 7%, compared with last year. The increase in
expenses was mainly due to higher variable compensation associated
with the increased fee-based revenue, increased trailer fees related to
higher revenue from increased assets under management, the inclu-
sion of U.K. acquisitions, higher volume-related expenses, and our
continued investment in growing the sales force in advice-based busi-
nesses. These expenses were partially offset by reduced expenses in
the U.S. wealth management businesses.
The average FTE staffing levels for the year increased by 179, or
3%, compared with last year. The increase was mainly due to the U.K.
acquisitions, the addition of new client-facing advisors, support staff,
and increased processing staff to support higher business volumes. The
efficiency ratio for the year improved to 73.8% compared to 77.1% in
the prior year.
Assets under administration of $225 billion as at October 31, 2010
increased by $34 billion, or 18%, compared with October 31, 2009,
primarily due to net new client assets and market increases in the
second half of the year. Assets under management of $183 billion
as at October 31, 2010 increased by $12 billion compared with
October 31, 2009.
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking net income, in Canadian
dollar terms for the year was $973 million, an increase of $340 million,
or 54%, on a reported basis, and $1,042 million, an increase of
$133 million, or 15%, on an adjusted basis, compared with last year.
While reported and adjusted net income increased compared with last
year, the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar
decreased the reported and adjusted net income for the year by
$120 million and $129 million, respectively. In U.S. dollar terms,
reported net income was $941 million, an increase of $400 million,
or 74%. On an adjusted basis, net income was US$1,008 million,
an increase of US$227 million, or 29%. The increase in adjusted net
income was due to higher fee-based revenue, increased loan and
deposit volume, and lower PCL on debt securities, partially offset by
the impact of Regulation E on overdraft revenue and higher expenses.
Adjusted net income for the current and prior year excluded integra-
tion and restructuring charges relating to acquisitions. The return on
invested capital was 5.8%, compared with 4.5% in 2009. On April 16,
2010, the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed liabilities of three
Florida banks in FDIC-assisted transactions. On September 30th, the
Bank closed on the acquisition of South Financial. As at October 31,
2010, South Financial had total assets of US$9.7 billion and total
deposits of US$8.6 billion.
In U.S. dollar terms, revenue for the year was US$4,591 million,
an increase of US$538 million, or 13%, compared with last year,
driven by higher fee-based revenue, increased loan and deposit
volume, and the impact of acquisitions. Higher fees due to the
Commerce integration were partially offset by reductions later in
the year due to Regulation E. The margin on average earning assets
for the year decreased by 3 bps to 3.49% compared with last year

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Total PCL for the year was US$621 million, a decrease of
US$189 million, or 23%, compared with last year. PCL for loans was
US$592 million which was essentially flat compared with last year, as
higher charge-offs were offset by reduced reserve requirements. PCL
for loans as a percentage of credit volume was 1.06%, a decrease of
11 bps compared to last year. Net impaired loans includes assets
originated by U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking, as well as assets
acquired under an FDIC loss sharing agreement (“covered assets”) that
substantially reduce the risk of credit losses to the Bank. Net impaired
loans, excluding debt securities classified as loans that are impaired and
covered assets, were US$1,097 million, an increase of US$284 million,
or 35%, compared to October 31, 2009. The increase was largely due
to new formations resulting from weakness in the commercial real
estate market in the U.S. Net impaired loans, excluding debt securities
classified as loans and covered assets, as a percentage of total loans,
were 1.7%, compared with 1.5% as at October 31, 2009. Net impaired
debt securities classified as loans were US$1,009 million at October 31,
2010. Covered impaired loans were US$32 million at October 31, 2010.
Reported non-interest expenses for the year were US$2,805 million,
an increase of US$42 million, or 2%, compared with last year. On an
adjusted basis, excluding the items of note for integration and restruc-
turing charges, non-interest expenses were US$2,702 million, an
increase of US$312 million, or 13%, due to investments in new stores,
investments in infrastructure, and economic and regulatory factors.
The average FTE staffing levels for the year increased by 358, or 2%,
compared with last year due to new stores and acquisitions, partially
offset by synergies and store consolidation. The reported efficiency
ratio for the year improved to 61.1%, compared with 68.0% last year.
The adjusted efficiency ratio for the year improved 10 bps to 58.9%
compared to last year.
Wholesale Banking net income for the year was $866 million, a
decrease of $271 million, or 24%, on a reported basis, and $987 million,
a decrease of $150 million, or 13%, on an adjusted basis, compared
with last year. Net income was impacted by a less favourable market
environment. Markets normalized and concerns emanating from the
European sovereign debt crisis resulted in lower client volumes, tighter
bid-offer spreads, and reduced trading opportunities. The return on
invested capital for the year was 30.7%, compared with 30.0% last
year. This improvement was driven by lower capital stemming from
reduced credit exposures, and decreased market risk as a result of
lower VaR.
Wholesale Banking revenue was derived primarily from capital
markets and corporate lending activities. Revenue for the year was
$2,874 million, a decrease of $347 million, or 11%, compared with
record revenue last year. Capital markets revenue declined primarily
due to lower revenue in fixed income and currency trading, as well as
the recovery from the cancellation of a loan commitment in the prior
year. Trading revenue moderated from the prior year’s record level as
weakening market conditions and increased competition resulted in
lower client volumes, and tighter bid-offer spreads. Exceptionally
strong results were achieved in the prior year as the dramatic recovery
in global financial markets was characterized by narrower credit
spreads, improved asset values, market liquidity and an enhanced
competitive position which resulted in strong broad-based perfor-
mance with particularly strong results in fixed income, currency and
credit trading. Advisory revenue increased this year from improved
market share, while underwriting revenue decreased primarily due to
lower equity issuance levels as compared to the prior year. Corporate
lending revenue increased due to higher fees and improved margins as
the portfolio re-priced. Progress in exiting the investment portfolio
resulted in some gains in the current year as compared to significant
losses last year.
PCL comprises specific provision for credit losses and accrual costs for
credit protection. The change in market value of the credit protection,
in excess of the accrual cost, is reported in the Corporate segment.
PCL for the year was $25 million, a decrease of $139 million, or 85%,
compared with last year. The decrease was due to the low level of
new formations during the year, as well as recoveries in the corporate
lending portfolio. The accrual cost of credit protection was $33 million,
a decrease of $8 million, or 20%, compared with last year.
Non-interest expenses for the year were $1,395 million, a decrease
of $22 million, or 2%, compared with last year. The decrease relates to
lower variable compensation related to lower revenue, partially offset
by ongoing investments in risk and control infrastructure.
Corporate segment reported net loss for the year was $931 million,
compared with a reported net loss of $1,719 million last year. The
adjusted net loss for the year was $537 million, compared with an
adjusted net loss of $399 million last year. The year-over-year change
in the adjusted net loss was primarily attributable to an increase in net
corporate expenses, higher net securitization losses, and the impact of
favourable tax-related and other items in the prior year, partially offset
by lower losses associated with hedging and treasury activities.

FACTORS AFFECTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Total assets were $686 billion as at October 31, 2011, an increase of
$67 billion, or 11%, compared with October 31, 2010. The net increase
was primarily due to a $21 billion increase in securities, a $34 billion
increase in loans (net of allowance for loan losses) and a $7 billion
increase in other assets. The value of total assets in U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking decreased by $5 billion due to the translation
effect of a stronger Canadian dollar.
Securities increased by $21 billion largely due to an increase in available-
for-sale securities primarily in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
and trading securities in Wholesale Banking. The value of securities in
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking decreased by $2 billion due to
the translation effect of a stronger Canadian dollar.
Loans (net of allowance for loan losses) increased $34 billion
primarily driven by volume growth in Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. The increase in
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking loans was largely due to
increases in residential mortgages and business and government loans.
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking loans increased primarily due
to personal and consumer instalment loans, residential mortgages and
business and government loans. The Chrysler Financial acquisition
added $8 billion to total loans. The value of loans (net of allowance
for loan losses) in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking decreased by
$2 billion due to the translation effect of a stronger Canadian dollar.
Other assets increased by $7 billion primarily due to an increase in the
market value of derivatives in Wholesale Banking.
Total liabilities were $640 billion as at October 31, 2011, an increase
of $62 billion, or 11%, compared with October 31, 2010. The net
increase was primarily due to a $51 billion increase in deposits and a
$13 billion increase in other liabilities. The value of total liabilities in
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking decreased by $5 billion due to
the translation effect of a stronger Canadian dollar.
Deposits increased $51 billion primarily due to an increase in business
and government deposits in Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking and Wholesale Banking and an increase in personal deposits
in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking due to higher TD Ameritrade
insured deposit account balances. The value of deposits in U.S. Personal
and Commercial Banking decreased by $4 billion due to the translation
effect of a stronger Canadian dollar.
Other liabilities increased $13 billion primarily due to an increase in
derivative liabilities in Wholesale Banking.
Shareholders’ equity was $47 billion as at October 31, 2011, an
increase of $5 billion, or 11% from October 31, 2010. The net increase
was comprised primarily of a $3 billion increase in retained earnings
and a $2 billion increase in common share capital, reflecting new
common share issuance in connection with the MBNA Canada acquisi-
tion, the dividend re-investment plan and the exercise of stock options.
U.S. GAAP
See the Reconciliation of Canadian and U.S. Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles contained in the Bank’s annual report on Form
40-F for fiscal 2011 filed with the SEC and available on the Bank’s
website at http://www.td.com/investor/index.jsp and at the SEC’s
website (http://www.sec.gov).
Total assets under U.S. GAAP were $641 billion as at October 31,
2011, $45 billion lower than under Canadian GAAP. The difference was
primarily due to the netting of derivative balances which is permitted
under U.S. GAAP where there is a legal right to offset. Under Canadian
GAAP the netting of derivative balances is only permitted where there
is a legal right to offset and there is an intention to settle the contracts
simultaneously. Other differences include accounting for non-cash
collateral which requires certain non-cash collateral received in securi-
ties lending transactions to be recognized as an asset, and a corre-
sponding liability recorded for the obligation to return the collateral.
Under Canadian GAAP, non-cash collateral received as part of a security
lending transaction is not recognized in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet. Total liabilities under U.S. GAAP were $594 billion as at October
31, 2011, $44 billion lower than under Canadian GAAP. The difference
was due primarily to the netting of derivative balances under U.S. GAAP
as described above and accounting for non-cash collateral received in
securities lending transactions also as described above.

Credit Portfolio Quality
AT A GLANCE OVERVIEW
• Loans and acceptances portfolio net of allowance for credit
losses was $311 billion, an increase of $34 billion from the
prior year.
• Impaired loans net of specific allowance were $1,767 million,
an increase of $51 million.
• Provision for credit losses was $1,465 million, compared with
$1,625 million in the prior year.
• Total allowance for credit losses increased by $9 million to
$2,596 million in 2011.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
Overall in 2011, the Bank’s credit quality remained stable despite
uncertain economic conditions, due to established business and risk
management strategies and a continuing low interest rate environ-
ment. During 2011, the loans and acceptances portfolio continued to
be diversified between personal and business and government. The
Bank increased its credit portfolio by $34 billion, or 12%, from the
prior year, largely due to volume growth in the Canadian and U.S.
Personal and Commercial Banking segments and the U.S. acquisitions.
The majority of the credit risk exposure is related to the loan and
acceptances portfolio. However, the Bank also engaged in activities
that have off-balance sheet credit risk. These include credit instru-
ments and derivative financial instruments, as explained in Note 31
to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
During 2011, the Bank increased its credit portfolio by $34 billion,
or 12%, from the prior year, largely due to volume growth in the
Canadian and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segments and
the U.S. acquisitions.
The Bank’s loan portfolio continued to be dominated by the
Canadian and U.S. residential and personal portfolios which are
comprised of credit card, consumer instalment and other personal,
representing 65% of net loans including acceptances, compared
with 64% in 2010 and 63% in 2009. During the year, these port-
folios increased by $25 billion, or 14%, and totalled $204 billion at
year end. Residential mortgages represented 28% of the portfolio
in 2011, 25% in 2010, and 25% in 2009. Credit card, consumer
instalment and other personal loans were 38% of total loans net
of specific allowance in 2011, compared with 39% in 2010 and
39% in 2009.
The Bank’s business and government credit exposure was 31%
of total loans net of specific allowance, in line with 31% in 2010.
The largest business and government sector concentrations in
Canada were the real estate and financial sectors, which comprised
5% and 3% of total loans and acceptances net of specific allow-
ance, respectively. Real estate was the leading U.S. sector of
concentration and represented 4% of net loans, compared with
5% in 2010.
Geographically, the credit portfolio remained concentrated in
Canada. In 2011, the percentage of loans held in Canada was
71%, compared with 72% in 2010. The largest Canadian exposure
was in Ontario, which represented 56% of total loans net of
specific allowance for 2011, up from 55% in 2010.
The balance of the credit portfolio was predominantly in the
U.S., which represented 24% of the portfolio, up from 22% in
2010 primarily due to the U.S. acquisitions. Exposure to other
geographic regions was limited. The largest U.S. exposures by state
were in New Jersey and New York, each of which represented 4%
of total loans net of specific allowance, in line with 2010.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
IMPAIRED LOANS
An impaired loan is any loan when there is objective evidence that
there has been a deterioration of credit quality subsequent to the
initial recognition of the loan to the extent that the Bank no longer has
reasonable assurance as to the timely collection of the full amount of
principal and interest. Acquired credit-impaired loans are not reported
as impaired loans as long as expected cash flows continue to equal or
exceed the amounts expected at acquisition. Excluding debt securities
classified as loans, FDIC covered loans and other acquired credit-
impaired loans, gross impaired loans decreased $57 million, or 3%
over 2010. Gross impaired loan formations decreased year-over-year
by $555 million, primarily driven by a reduction in the U.S. Personal
and Commercial Banking segment due to continued improvement
in credit quality.
In Canada, residential and personal loans which include credit card,
consumer instalment and other personal, generated impaired loans net
of specific allowance of $540 million, an increase of $75 million, or
16%, over 2010. Personal loans represented the most significant
portion of this increase. Business and government loans generated
$88 million in net impaired loans, a decrease of $27 million, or 23%,
over 2010. Business and government impaired loans were distributed
across industry sectors. Net impaired loan increases in 2011 were due
to higher residential and personal loan volumes, partially offset by
continued improvement in the business and government portfolio
credit quality.
In the U.S., residential and personal loans generated net impaired
loans of $243 million, an increase of $51 million, or 27%, over 2010
and evenly distributed across these two segments. Business and govern-
ment loans generated $896 million in net impaired loans, a decrease of
$47 million, or 5%, over 2010. Business and government impaired
loans were highly concentrated in the real estate sector. Net impaired
loan decreases across industry sectors in 2011 were due to improved
credit quality. Net impaired loans increased $4 million in 2011 driven by
growth in residential and personal loans volumes offset by continued
improvement in the loans and government portfolio credit quality.
Geographically, 36% of total impaired loans net of specific allow-
ance were generated in Canada and 64% in the U.S. Net impaired
loans in Canada were concentrated in Ontario, which represented
17% of total net impaired loans, down from 20% in 2010. U.S. net
impaired loans were concentrated in New Jersey and New York, repre-
senting 14% and 8% of net impaired loans, compared with 13% and
9% respectively, in 2010.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Total allowance for credit losses consists of specific and general
allowances carried on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The allowance
is increased by the provision for credit losses, and decreased by write-
offs net of recoveries. The Bank maintains the allowance at levels that
management believes is adequate to absorb all credit-related losses in
the lending portfolio. Individual problem accounts, general economic
conditions, loss experience, as well as the sector and geographic mix
of the lending portfolio are all considered by management in assessing
the appropriate allowance levels.
Specific Allowance
The Bank establishes specific allowances for impaired loans when the
estimated realizable value of the loan is less than its recorded value,
based on discounting expected future cash flows. Specific allowances
for loan losses are established to reduce the book value of loans to
their estimated realizable amounts.
During 2011, specific allowances decreased by $7 million, or 1%,
resulting in a total specific allowance of $670 million. Excluding debt
securities classified as loans, FDIC covered loans and other acquired
credit-impaired loans, specific allowance decreased by $108 million,
or 20% from the prior year. Allowances for credit losses are more fully
described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
General Allowance
A general allowance is established to recognize losses that manage-
ment estimates to have occurred in the portfolio at the balance sheet
date for loans not yet specifically identified as impaired. The level of
general allowance reflects exposures across all portfolios and catego-
ries. The general allowance is reviewed on a quarterly basis using
credit risk models and management’s judgment. The allowance level is
calculated using the probability of default (PD), the loss given default
(LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD). The PD is the likelihood that
a borrower will not be able to meet its scheduled repayments. The LGD
is the amount of the loss the Bank would likely incur when a borrower
defaults on a loan, which is expressed as a percentage of exposure at
default. EAD is the total amount the Bank expects to be exposed to at
the time of default.
For the non-retail portfolio, allowances are estimated using borrower
specific information at the borrower level. The LGD is based on the
security of the facility; EAD is a function of the current usage, the
borrower’s risk rating, and the committed amount of the facility. For
the retail portfolio, the general allowance is calculated on a portfolio
level and is based on statistical estimates of loss using historical loss
and recovery data models and forecast balances. Models are validated
against historical experience and are updated at least annually. The
general allowance methodology is approved annually by the Risk
Committee of the Board of Directors.
At October 31, 2011 the general allowance for loan losses
was $1,926 million, up from $1,910 million at October 31, 2010.
Excluding debt securities classified as loans general allowance
increased by $30 million, or 2% from the prior year.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The provision for credit losses is the amount charged to income to
bring the total allowance for credit losses, including both specific and
general allowances, to a level that management considers adequate to
absorb all credit-related losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Provisions
in the year are reduced by any recoveries.
credit-impaired loans. Canadian specific provisions were concentrated
in Ontario, which represented 44% of total specific provisions,
increased from 41% in 2010. U.S. specific provisions were concen-
trated in New Jersey and New York, representing 7% and 4% of total
specific provisions, compared to 8% and 4% respectively in 2010.
Table 36 provides a summary of provisions charged to the

in 2011, compared with a total provision of $1,625 million in 2010.
This amount comprised $1,430 million of specific provisions and
$35 million in general provisions. Total provision for credit losses
as a percentage of net average loans and acceptances decreased to
0.51% from 0.62% in 2010. In Canada, residential and personal loans
required specific provisions of $765 million, a decrease of $96 million,
or 11%, over 2010. Business and government loans required specific
provisions of $53 million, a decrease of $64 million, or 55%, over
2010. Business and government specific provisions were distributed
across all industry sectors. In the U.S., residential and personal loans
required specific provisions of $214 million, a decrease of $29 million,
or 12%, over 2010. Other personal loans represented the most signifi-
cant portion of this decrease. Business and government loans required
specific provisions of $232 million, a decrease of $147 million, or
39%, over 2010. Similar to impaired loans, business and government
specific provisions were highly concentrated in the real estate sector.
Decreased provisions for credit losses in 2011 were due to continued
improvement in portfolio credit quality. Geographically, 57% of specific
provisions were attributed to Canada and 31% to the U.S. The balance
resulted from 6% of debt securities classified as loans and 6% of acquired

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
NON-PRIME LOANS
As at October 31, 2011, the Bank had approximately $2.2 billion
(2010 – $1.8 billion) gross exposure to non-prime loans, which primar-
ily consists of automotive loans originated in Canada. The credit loss
rate, which is an indicator of credit quality and is defined as the aver-
age PCL divided by the average month-end loan balance, was approxi-
mately 3.61% (2010 – approximately 5.0%) on an annual basis. The
portfolio continues to perform as expected. These loans are recorded
at amortized cost. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for further information regarding the accounting for loans and related
credit losses.

5 Remaining European exposure is distributed across 12 countries, each of which has
a net exposure below $1 billion as at October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010.
The majority of the balance of the Bank’s European exposure is to
counterparties in AAA rated countries, with the majority of this exposure
to the sovereigns themselves and to well rated, systemically important
banks in these countries. Derivatives and securities repurchase

backed by high quality government securities. The Bank also takes a
limited amount of exposure to well rated corporate issuers in Europe
where TD also does business with their related entities in North America.

EXPOSURE TO ACQUIRED CREDIT-IMPAIRED LOANS (ACI)
ACI loans are loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration since
origination for which it is probable at the purchase date that the Bank
will be unable to collect all contractually required principal and interest
payments. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the acquisition
date may include statistics such as past due status and credit scores.
ACI loans are recorded at fair value upon acquisition and the applicable
accounting guidance prohibits carrying over or recording allowance for
loan losses in the initial accounting.

EXPOSURE TO NON-AGENCY COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE
OBLIGATIONS (CMO)
Due to the acquisition of Commerce, the Bank has exposure to non-agency
CMOs collateralized primarily by Alt-A and Prime Jumbo mortgages, most
of which are pre-payable fixed-rate mortgages without rate reset features.
At the time of acquisition, the portfolio was recorded at fair value, which
became the new cost basis for this portfolio.
These securities are classified as loans and carried at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method, and are evaluated for loan
losses on a quarterly basis using the incurred credit loss model. The
impairment assessment follows the loan loss accounting model, where
there are two types of allowances against credit losses – specific and
general. Specific allowances provide against losses that are identifiable
at the individual debt security level for which there is objective evidence
that there has been a deterioration of credit quality, at which point the
book value of the loan is reduced to its estimated realizable amount.
A general allowance is established to recognize losses that management
estimates to have occurred in the portfolio at the balance sheet date
for loans not yet specifically identified as impaired. The general allow-
ance as at October 31, 2011 was US$150 million. The total provision
for credit losses recognized in 2011 was US$51 million compared to
US$18 million in 2010.

During the second quarter of 2009, the Bank re-securitized a portion
of the non-agency CMO portfolio. As part of the on-balance sheet
re-securitization, new credit ratings were obtained for the re-securitized
securities that better reflect the discount on acquisition and the Bank’s
risk inherent on the entire portfolio. As a result, 54% of the non-agency
CMO portfolio is now rated AAA for regulatory capital reporting. The
net capital benefit of the re-securitization transaction is reflected in the
changes in RWA and in the securitization deductions from Tier 1 and
Tier 2 capital. For accounting purposes, the Bank retained a majority
of the beneficial interests in the re-securitized securities resulting in
no financial statement impact. The Bank’s assessment of impairment
for these reclassified securities is not impacted by a change in the
credit ratings.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
THE BANK’S OBJECTIVES:
• To be an appropriately capitalized financial institution as
determined by:
– The Bank’s Risk Appetite Statement;
– Capital requirements defined by relevant regulatory authorities; and,
– The Bank’s internal assessment of capital requirements consistent
with the Bank’s risk tolerance levels.
• To have the most economically achievable weighted average cost
of capital (after tax), consistent with preserving the appropriate mix
of capital elements to meet targeted capitalization levels.
• To ensure ready access to sources of appropriate capital, at reason-
able cost, in order to:
– Insulate the Bank from unexpected events;
– Facilitate acquisitions; or,
– Support business expansion.
• To support strong external debt ratings, in order to manage the Bank’s
overall cost of funds and to maintain accessibility to required funding.
CAPITAL SOURCES
The Bank’s capital is primarily derived from common shareholders and
retained earnings. Other sources of capital include the Bank’s preferred
shareholders, holders of innovative capital instruments, and holders of
the Bank’s subordinated debt.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Treasury and Balance Sheet Management group manages capital
for the Bank and is responsible for acquiring, maintaining, and retiring
capital. The Board of Directors oversees capital policy and management.
The Bank continues to hold sufficient capital levels to ensure that
flexibility is maintained to grow operations, both organically and
through strategic acquisitions. The strong capital ratios are the result
of the Bank’s internal capital generation, management of the balance
sheet, and periodic issuance of capital securities.
ECONOMIC CAPITAL
The Bank’s internal measure of required capital is called economic
capital or invested capital. Economic capital is comprised of both risk-
based capital required to fund losses that could occur under extremely
adverse economic or operational conditions and investment capital
that has been used to fund acquisitions or investments in fixed assets
to support future earnings growth.
The Bank uses internal models to determine how much risk-based
capital is required to support the enterprise’s risk and business expo-
sures. Characteristics of these models are described in the ‘Managing
Risk’ section. Within the Bank’s measurement framework, our objec-
tive is to hold risk-based capital to cover unexpected losses to a high
level of confidence and ratings standards. The Bank’s chosen internal
capital targets are well founded and consistent with our overall risk
profile and current operating environment.
Since November 1, 2007, the Bank has been operating its capital
regime under the Basel II Capital Framework. Consequently, in addi-
tion to addressing Pillar I risks covering credit risk, market risk and
operational risk, the Bank’s economic capital framework captures
other material Pillar II risks including business risk, interest rate risk
in the banking book and concentration risk.
The Bank makes business decisions based on the return on risk
based capital and economic profit, while also ensuring that, in aggre-
gate, regulatory and rating agency requirements and capital available
are kept in balance.
REGULATORY CAPITAL
Basel II Capital Framework
The Bank complies with the OSFI guideline for calculating RWA and regu-
latory capital. This guideline is based on the International Convergence
of Capital Measurement and Capital Standard – A Revised Framework
(Basel II) issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. This
framework replaced the Basel I Capital Accord (Basel I) originally intro-
duced in 1988 and supplemented in 1996. The framework allows
qualifying banks to determine capital levels consistent with the way they
measure, manage and mitigate risks. It provides a spectrum of methodol-
ogies, from simple to advanced, for the measurement of credit, market,
and operational risks. The Bank uses the advanced approaches for the
majority of its portfolios which results in regulatory and economic capital
being more closely aligned than was the case under Basel I. Since the U.S.
banking subsidiaries (TD Bank N.A. including South Financial and Chrysler
Financial) were not originally required by their main regulators to convert
to Basel II prior to being acquired by the Bank, the advanced approaches
are not yet being utilized for the majority of assets in TD Bank, N.A.
For accounting purposes, GAAP is followed for consolidation of
subsidiaries and joint ventures. For regulatory capital purposes, insur-
ance subsidiaries are deconsolidated and reported as a deduction from
capital. Insurance subsidiaries are subject to their own capital adequacy
reporting such as OSFI’s Minimum Continuing Capital Surplus
Requirements and Minimum Capital Test. Currently, for regulatory
capital purposes, all the entities of the Bank are either consolidated
or deducted from capital and there are no entities from which surplus
capital is recognized.
Some of the Bank’s subsidiaries are individually regulated by either
OSFI or other regulators. Many of these entities have minimum capital
requirements which they must maintain and which may limit the Bank’s
ability to extract capital or funds for other uses.
Tier 1 Capital
Tier 1 capital was $28.5 billion at October 31, 2011, up from $24.4 billion
last year. The increase to Tier 1 capital was largely due to strong
earnings, and a common share issuance. Capital management fund-
ing activities during the year consisted of the following: the Bank
issued $1.7 billion of common shares during the year, consisting
of a public issue of $0.7 billion and $1.0 billion due to issuance
under the dividend reinvestment plan and stock option exercises.
Capital redemption activities during the year included the following:
USD$ 122 million US Trust Preferred Securities; $350 million of Class
A First Preferred Shares, Series M and $200 million of Class A First
Preferred Shares, Series N.
Issue of Common Shares
On September 16, 2011, the Bank issued 9.2 million common shares
in Canada at a price of $76.50 per common share for gross cash
consideration of $704 million.
Tier 2 Capital
During the year the Bank issued $1 billion of subordinated debentures;
and redeemed two issues of subordinated debentures for a total of
$1.5 billion.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS INTERNAL CAPITAL ADEQUACY ASSESSMENT PROCESS
The Bank’s Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) is an
integrated enterprise wide process that encompasses the governance,
management, and control of risk and capital functions within the
Bank. It provides a framework for relating risks to capital requirements
through the Bank’s economic capital modeling and stress testing prac-
tices and helps determine the Bank’s capital adequacy requirements.
The ICAAP is facilitated by Risk Management and is supported by
numerous functional areas which together help determine the Bank’s
internal capital adequacy assessment which ultimately represents the
capacity to bear risk in congruence with the risk profile and stated
risk appetite of the Bank. Risk Management leads the ICAAP and
assesses whether the Bank’s internal view of required capital is appro-
priate for the Bank’s risks. Treasury and Balance Sheet Management
determines the adequacy of the Bank’s available capital in relation
to required capital.
DIVIDENDS
The Bank’s dividend policy is approved by the Board of Directors.
At October 31, 2011, the quarterly dividend was $0.68 per share,
consistent with the Bank’s current target payout range of 35 – 45%
of adjusted earnings. Cash dividends declared and paid during 2011
totalled $2.61 per share (2010 – $2.44; 2009 – $2.44). For cash
dividends payable on the Bank’s preferred shares, see Notes 15 and
18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As at October 31, 2011,
901.0 million common shares were outstanding (2010 – 878.5 million;
2009 – 858.8 million). The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is subject to
the Bank Act and the requirements of OSFI. See Note 18 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
CAPITAL RATIOS
Capital ratios are measures of financial strength and flexibility. The
Bank’s capital ratios are calculated using OSFI’s guidelines which
are based on the capital adequacy rules included in Basel II. At the
consolidated level, the top corporate entity to which Basel II applies
is The Toronto-Dominion Bank.
OSFI measures the capital adequacy of Canadian banks according
to its instructions for determining risk-adjusted capital, RWA and off-
balance sheet exposures. OSFI defines two primary ratios to measure
capital adequacy, the Tier 1 capital ratio and the Total capital ratio.
OSFI sets target levels for Canadian banks as follows:
• The Tier 1 capital ratio is defined as Tier 1 regulatory capital divided
by RWA. OSFI has established a target Tier 1 capital ratio of 7%.
• The Total capital ratio is defined as total regulatory capital divided
by RWA. OSFI has established a target Total capital ratio of 10%.
The Bank’s Tier 1 and Total capital ratios were 13.0% and16.0%,
respectively, on October 31, 2011, compared with 12.2% and 15.5%,
respectively, on October 31, 2010. The year-over-year changes were
influenced by several factors, including the increase in capital described
above in Tier 1 capital partially offset by an increase in RWA. As at
October 31, 2011, the Bank exceeded its internal medium-term target
for Tier 1 capital.
RISK-WEIGHTED ASSETS
Based on Basel II, RWA are calculated for each of credit risk, market
risk, and operational risk. Operational risk represents the risk of loss
resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and
systems or from external events. The Bank’s RWA were as follows:

1 Effective April 30, 2009, the Bank’s equity portfolio qualified for the Basel II
Framework’s equity materiality exemption.
During the year, RWA increased $18.9 billion, primarily due to the organic
growth in the retail and commercial businesses in both Canada and the
U.S., the acquisition of Chrysler Financial and higher operational risk
capital, partially offset by the impact of a stronger Canadian dollar
against the U.S. dollar.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
In February 2011, OSFI issued its action plan for implementation
of Basel III. All banks will be required to implement the Basel III capital
rules commencing in the first fiscal quarter of 2013. OSFI’s minimum
requirements are expected to follow the Basel III transition plan
outlined by the BCBS. Under the transition plan, changes in capital
treatment for certain items as well as minimum capital ratio require-
ments will be phased in over the period from 2013 to 2019. The Basel
III minimum capital requirements include a 4.5% common equity ratio,
a 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio, and an 8.0% Total capital ratio. In addi-
tion, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% will be required. While
a bank can draw down on the 2.5% capital conservation buffer to
absorb losses during periods of financial or economic stress, restric-
tions on earnings distributions (e.g., dividends, share buybacks, discre-
tionary payments on other Tier 1 capital instruments and discretionary
bonus payments) would be required. The amount of such restrictions
is linked to the extent to which the buffer is utilized.
In November 2011, the BCBS published the final rules text on global
systemically important banks (G-SIBs). Banks designated as G-SIBs will
be required to hold 1% – 2.5% of additional capital buffers above the
Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) requirement, phasing-in over
4 years beginning January 1, 2016. The methodology for the identifica-
tion of G-SIBs uses an indicator-based approach consisting of 5 broad
categories: size, interconnectedness, lack of substitutability, global
(cross-jurisdictional) activity and complexity. G-SIBs will be required
to meet additional buffers exclusively through common equity. The
Financial Stability Board (FSB) announced 29 G-SIBs in its initial assess-
ment, no Canadian banks were designated as a G-SIB. This list will be
reassessed by the FSB annually.
For TD, the new Basel III capital rules will result in higher RWA and
an increase in deductions from regulatory common equity. We
continue to believe that with our strong capital position today and our
ability to generate capital from our operating businesses in the coming
quarters, we are well positioned to fully meet the Basel III capital
adequacy requirements. Based on our current understanding and
assumptions, we estimated the Bank’s pro forma CET1 ratio to be
approximately 7.1% as at October 31, 2011, if the full Basel III rules
applicable in 2019 (i.e. without transition arrangements) were applied.
Based on current forecasts, we expect to be comfortably above the
7% CET1 ratio threshold by the second quarter of fiscal year 2012
and expect to be above 7.5% by the first quarter of fiscal year 2013
(i.e. without transition arrangements). If we apply the Basel III rules
text without transition treatment to goodwill and intangibles, we
expect our CET1 ratio to be at the higher end of the 9% – 10% range
by the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. As such, we do not anticipate
a need to make significant changes to our business operations or raise
additional common equity to meet the Basel III requirements.
We believe that under Basel III all of TD’s outstanding non-common
Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments, except certain instruments issued
by TD’s U.S. subsidiaries, will be disqualified as regulatory capital,
subject to a 10 year phase-out transition period beginning in January
2013. TD announced on February 7, 2011 that, based on OSFI’s
February 4, 2011 advisory which outlined OSFI’s expectations regarding
the use of redemption rights triggered by regulatory event clauses in
non-qualifying capital instruments, it expects to exercise a regulatory
event redemption right only in 2022 in respect of the TD Capital Trust
IV Notes – Series 2 outstanding at that time. As of July 31, 2011, there
was $450 million in principal amount of TD Capital Trust IV Notes –
Series 2 issued and outstanding. TD’s expectation is subject to a number
of risk factors and assumptions outlined in the Bank’s February 7th
press release, which is available on the Bank’s website at www.td.com.

FUTURE CHANGES IN BASEL AND IFRS TRANSITION
In Q1 2012, the Bank will transition to IFRS. Regulatory capital will be
reported under IFRS; based on OSFI’s guideline on capital treatment.
Insurance subsidiaries will be deducted 50% from Tier 1 capital and
50% from Tier 2 capital starting fiscal 2012. The Basel 2.5 changes
relating to the Market Risk Amendment, which take effect in Q1 2012,
will require banks to include Stressed VaR and an Incremental Risk
Charge in market risk capital. If approved by OSFI, implementation of
these additional requirements is expected to increase market risk RWA
by approximately 2 to 3 times.
Basel III
In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
published the final rules text on new international bank capital adequacy
and liquidity requirements. Commonly referred to as “Basel III,” the
capital proposals aim to increase the quality, quantity, transparency,
and consistency of bank capital, discourage excess leverage and risk
taking, and reduce procyclicality. Together with the new internationally
harmonized global liquidity standards, Basel III aims to provide a
regulatory framework to strengthen the resiliency of the banking
sector and financial system.
In January 2011, the final rules text was supplemented by additional
guidance from the BCBS regarding Non-Viability Contingent Capital
(NVCC). The NVCC rules require that all capital instruments include
loss absorption features. These features may require, based on the
regulator’s assessment of viability, a principal write-down or conversion
to equity. The Basel III rules provide for a transition and phase-out
for capital instruments that do not meet the Basel III requirements,
including the NVCC features. Subsequently, OSFI issued an advisory
in August 2011 regarding Canadian implementation guidance.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
GROUP FINANCIAL CONDITION
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, the Bank engages in a variety of
financial transactions that, under GAAP, are either not recorded on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet or are recorded in amounts that differ
from the full contract or notional amounts. These off-balance sheet
arrangements involve, among other risks, varying elements of market,
credit, and liquidity risk which are discussed in the “Managing Risk”
section of this MD&A. Off-balance sheet arrangements are generally
undertaken for risk management, capital management, and funding
management purposes and include securitizations, contractual obliga-
tions, and certain commitments and guarantees.
SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITIES
The Bank carries out certain business activities via arrangements with
special purpose entities (SPEs). We use SPEs to obtain sources of liquid-
ity by securitizing certain of the Bank’s financial assets, to assist our
clients in securitizing their financial assets, and to create investment
products for our clients. SPEs may be organized as trusts, partnerships
or corporations and they may be formed as qualifying special purpose
entities (QSPEs) or variable interest entities (VIEs). When an entity is
deemed a VIE, the entity must be consolidated by the primary benefi-
ciary. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information regarding the accounting for VIEs.
Securitizations are an important part of the financial markets,
providing liquidity by facilitating investor access to specific portfolios
of assets and risks. In a typical securitization structure, the Bank sells
assets to an SPE and the SPE funds the purchase of those assets by
issuing securities to investors. SPEs are typically set up for a single,
discrete purpose, are not operating entities and usually have no
employees. The legal documents that govern the transaction describe
how the cash earned on the assets held in the SPE must be allocated
to the investors and other parties that have rights to these cash flows.
The Bank is involved in SPEs through the securitization of Bank-
originated assets, securitization of third party-originated assets, and
other investment and financing products.
Certain of the Bank’s securitizations of Bank-originated assets and
of third party-originated assets are structured through QSPEs. QSPEs
are trusts or other legal vehicles that are demonstrably distinct from
the Bank, have specified permitted activities, defined asset holdings
and may only sell or dispose of selected assets in automatic response
to limited conditions. QSPEs are not consolidated by any party includ-
ing the Bank.
The Reputational Risk Committee of the Bank is responsible for the
review of structured transactions and complex credit arrangements
with potentially significant reputational, legal, regulatory, accounting
or tax risks, including transactions involving SPEs. The Bank monitors
its involvement with SPEs on an ongoing basis.
Securitization of Bank-Originated Assets
The Bank securitizes residential mortgages, personal loans, and
commercial mortgages to enhance its liquidity position, to diversify
sources of funding and to optimize the management of the balance
sheet. All products securitized by the Bank were originated in Canada
and sold to Canadian securitization structures or Canadian non-SPE
third parties. Details of securitization exposures through significant
unconsolidated SPEs, significant unconsolidated QSPEs, and Canadian
non-SPE third parties are as follows:

1 In all the securitization transactions that the Bank has undertaken for its own
assets, it has acted as an originating bank and retained securitization exposure.
Residential Mortgage Loans
The Bank may be exposed to the risks of transferred loans to the secu-
ritization vehicles through retained interests. There are no expected
credit losses on the retained interests of the securitized residential
mortgages as the mortgages are all government guaranteed.
Commercial Mortgage Loans
The Bank may be exposed to the risks of transferred loans to the secu-
ritization vehicles through retained interests. There are no expected
credit losses on the retained interests of the securitized commercial
mortgages as the mortgages are all government guaranteed.
Personal Loans
The Bank securitizes personal loans through QSPEs, as well as
through single-seller conduits via QSPEs. As at October 31, 2011,
the single-seller conduits had $5.1 billion (2010 – $5.1 billion) of
commercial paper outstanding while another Bank-sponsored QSPE
had $nil (2010 – $1.5 billion) of term notes outstanding, as the QSPE
matured during the year. While the probability of loss is negligible
as at October 31, 2011, the Bank’s maximum potential exposure to
loss for these conduits through the sole provision of liquidity facilities
was $5.1 billion (2010 – $5.1 billion) of which $1.1 billion (2010 –
$1.1 billion) of underlying personal loans was government insured.
Additionally, the Bank had retained interests of $120 million
(2010 – $121 million) relating to excess spread.
Securitization of Third Party-originated Assets
The Bank administers multi-seller conduits and provides liquidity
facilities as well as securities distribution services; it may also provide
credit enhancements. Third party-originated assets are securitized
through Bank-sponsored SPEs, which are not consolidated by the
Bank. The Bank’s maximum potential exposure to loss due to its
ownership interest in commercial paper and through the provision
of liquidity facilities for multi-seller conduits was $5.5 billion as at
October 31, 2011 (October 31, 2010 – $5.3 billion). Further, as at
October 31, 2011, the Bank has committed to provide an additional
$2.1 billion (October 31, 2010 – $1.8 billion) in liquidity facilities that
can be used to support future ABCP in the purchase of deal-specific
assets. As at October 31, 2011, the Bank also provided deal-specific
credit enhancement in the amount of $17 million (October 31, 2010 –
$73 million).

2 Expected weighted-average life for each asset type is based upon each of the
conduit’s remaining purchase commitment for revolving pools and the expected

As at October 31, 2011, TD held $1,083 million (October 31, 2010 –
$354 million) of ABCP issued by Bank-sponsored multi-seller and
single-seller conduits within the trading securities category on its
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
EXPOSURE TO THIRD PARTY SPONSORED CONDUITS
The Bank has exposure to U.S. third party-sponsored conduits arising
from providing liquidity facilities of $349 million as at October 31, 2011
(October 31, 2010 – nil) of which nil (October 31, 2010 – nil) has been
drawn. The assets within these conduits comprise of individual notes
backed by automotive loan receivables. As at the three months ended
October 31, 2011 and subsequently, these assets have maintained
ratings from various credit rating agencies, ranging from AAA to AA.
The Bank’s exposure to Canadian third party-sponsored conduits in
the form of margin funding facilities as at October 31, 2011 and
October 31, 2010 was not significant.
Exposure to Collateralized Debt Obligations
Since the decision was made in 2005 to exit the structured products
business, the Bank no longer originates Collateralized Debt Obligation
vehicles (CDOs). The total net fair value of unfunded protection related
to CDOs is ($4) million as of October 31, 2011 (October 31, 2010 -
($3) million), and represents the residual exposures before hedging.
These CDOs are referenced to corporate debt securities and contain
no exposure to U.S. subprime mortgages. All exposures are managed
within risk limits that have been approved by the Bank’s risk manage-
ment group and are hedged with various financial instruments,
including credit derivatives and bonds within the trading portfolio.
The Bank’s CDO positions are fair valued using valuation techniques
with significant non-observable market inputs and included in Level 3
of the fair value hierarchy as described in Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
COMMITMENTS
The Bank enters into various commitments to meet the financing needs
of the Bank’s clients and to earn fee income. Significant commitments
of the Bank include financial and performance standby letters of credit,
documentary and commercial letters of credit and commitments to
extend credit. These products may expose the Bank to liquidity, credit
and reputational risks. There are adequate risk management and
control processes in place to mitigate these risks. Certain commitments
still remain off-balance sheet. Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements provides detailed information about the maximum amount
of additional credit the Bank could be obligated to extend.
Leveraged Finance Credit Commitments
Also included in ‘Commitments to extend credit’ in Note 29 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements are leveraged finance commitments.
Leveraged finance commitments are agreements that provide funding
to a wholesale borrower with higher levels of debt, measured by the
ratio of debt capital to equity capital of the borrower, relative to the
industry in which it operates. The Bank’s exposure to leveraged finance
commitments as at October 31, 2011 was not significant (October 31,
2010 – not significant).
CAPITAL TRUSTS
The Bank sponsors SPEs to raise capital which are considered VIEs. As
the Bank is not the primary beneficiary of these SPE’s, the Bank does
not consolidate them for accounting purposes. For further details on
capital trust activity and the terms of the SPE’s instruments issued and
outstanding, see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
GUARANTEES
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into various guaran-
tee contracts to support its clients. The Bank’s significant types of
guarantee products are financial and performance standby letters of
credit, assets sold with recourse, credit enhancements, and indemnifi-
cation agreements. Certain guarantees remain off-balance sheet. See
Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further informa-
tion regarding the accounting for guarantees.

TRANSACTIONS WITH EQUITY-ACCOUNTED INVESTEES
TD AMERITRADE
Pursuant to a Stockholders Agreement in relation to the Bank’s equity
investment in TD Ameritrade, the Bank designated five of twelve
members of TD Ameritrade’s Board of Directors, including our CEO
and two independent directors of TD.
Insured Deposit Account (formerly known as Money Market
Deposit Account) Agreement
The Bank is party to an insured deposit account (IDA) agreement with
TD Ameritrade, pursuant to which the Bank makes available to clients
of TD Ameritrade IDAs as designated sweep vehicles. TD Ameritrade
provides marketing and support services with respect to the IDA. The
Bank paid fees of $762 million in 2011 (2010 – $714 million; 2009 –
$654 million) to TD Ameritrade for the deposit accounts. The fee
paid by the Bank is based on the average insured deposit balance of
$48.4 billion in 2011 (2010 – $39.2 billion) with a portion of the fee
tied to the actual yield earned by the Bank on the investments, less the
actual interest paid to clients of TD Ameritrade, with the balance based
on an agreed rate of return. The Bank earns a flat fee of 25 basis
points and is reimbursed for the cost of FDIC insurance premiums.
As at October 31, 2011, amounts receivable from TD Ameritrade were
$97 million (2010 – $53 million). As at October 31, 2011, amounts
payable to TD Ameritrade were $84 million (2010 – $82 million).
TRANSACTIONS WITH SYMCOR
The Bank has a one-third ownership in Symcor Inc. (Symcor), a Canadian
provider of business process outsourcing services offering a diverse
portfolio of integrated solutions in item processing, statement
processing and production, and cash management services. The Bank
accounts for Symcor’s results using the equity method of accounting.
During the year, the Bank paid $139 million (2010 – $135 million;
2009 – $164 million) for these services. As at October 31, 2011, the
amount payable to Symcor was $12 million (2010 – $12 million).
GROUP FINANCIAL CONDITION
Financial Instruments
As a financial institution, the Bank’s assets and liabilities are substan-
tially composed of financial instruments. Financial assets of the Bank
include, but are not limited to, cash, interest-bearing deposits, securi-
ties, loans and derivative instruments, while financial liabilities include,
but are not limited to, deposits, obligations related to securities sold
short, obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agree-
ments, derivative instruments and subordinated debt.
The Bank uses financial instruments for both trading and non-trading
activities. The Bank typically engages in trading activities by the purchase
and sale of securities to provide liquidity and meet the needs of clients
and, less frequently, by taking proprietary trading positions with the
objective of earning a profit. Trading financial instruments include, but
are not limited to, trading securities, trading deposits, and trading
derivatives. Non-trading financial instruments include the majority of
the Bank’s lending portfolio, non-trading securities, hedging deriva-
tives and financial liabilities. In accordance with accounting standards
related to financial instruments, financial assets or liabilities classified
as trading, loans and securities designated as trading under the fair
value option, securities classified as available-for-sale and all derivatives
are measured at fair value in the Bank’s Consolidated Financial
Statements, with the exception of those available-for-sale securities
recorded at cost. Financial instruments classified as held-to-maturity,
loans and receivables, and other liabilities are carried at amortized cost
using the effective interest rate method. For details on how fair values
of financial instruments are determined, refer to the “Critical
Accounting Estimates” – Fair Value of Financial Instruments section of
this MD&A. The use of financial instruments allows the Bank to earn
profits in trading, interest and fee income. Financial instruments also
create a variety of risks which the Bank manages with its extensive risk
management policies and procedures. The key risks include interest
rate, credit, liquidity, market, and foreign exchange risks. For a more
detailed description on how the Bank manages its risk, refer to the
“Managing Risk” section of this MD&A.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT
Risk Factors That May Affect
Future Results
In addition to the risks described in the Managing Risk section, there
are numerous other risk factors, many of which are beyond the Bank’s
control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict, that could
cause our results to differ significantly from our plans, objectives and
estimates. All forward-looking statements, including those in this
MD&A, are, by their very nature, subject to inherent risks and uncer-
tainties, general and specific, which may cause the Bank’s actual results
to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-
looking statements. Some of these factors are discussed below and
others are noted in the “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements” section of this MD&A.
INDUSTRY FACTORS
General Business and Economic Conditions in the Regions in
Which We Conduct Business
The Bank operates in Canada, the U.S., and other countries. As a
result, the Bank’s earnings are significantly affected by the general
business and economic conditions in these regions. These conditions
include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, fluctuations
in the debt and capital markets, consumer, debt levels, government
spending, exchange rates, the strength of the economy, threats of
terrorism, civil unrest, the effects of public health emergencies, the
effects of disruptions to public infrastructure and the level of business
conducted in a specific region. For example, in an economic downturn
characterized by higher unemployment and lower family income,
corporate earnings, business investment and consumer spending, the
demand for the Bank’s loan and other products would be adversely
affected and the provision for credit losses would likely increase,
resulting in lower earnings. Similarly, a natural disaster could cause
business disruptions and/or result in a potential increase in insurance
and liability claims, all of which could adversely affect the Bank’s
results. Also, the financial markets are generally characterized by
extensive interconnections among financial institutions. As such,
defaults by other financial institutions in Canada, the U.S. or other
countries could adversely affect the Bank.
Currency Rates
Currency rate movements in Canada, the U.S., and other jurisdictions
in which the Bank does business impact the Bank’s financial position
(as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments) and its future
earnings. For example, if the value of the Canadian dollar rises against
the U.S. dollar, the Bank’s investments and earnings in the U.S., may be
negatively affected, and vice versa. Changes in the value of the Canadian
dollar relative to the U.S. dollar may also affect the earnings of the
Bank’s small business, commercial, and corporate clients in Canada.
Fiscal, Monetary and Economic Policies
The Bank’s earnings are affected by the fiscal, economic and monetary
policies of the Bank of Canada, the Federal Reserve System in the U.S.,
the U.S. Treasury, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and
various other regulatory agencies internationally. The adoption of new
fiscal, economic or monetary policies by such agencies, changes to
existing policies or changes in the supply of money and the general
level of interest rates can impact the Bank’s profitability. Unintended
consequences of new policies or changes to existing ones can also
include the reduction of competition, increased uncertainty in markets
and, in jurisdictions outside Canada, the favouring of certain domestic
institutions. A change in the level of interest rates, or a prolonged low
interest rate environment, affects the interest spread between the
Bank’s deposits and loans and as a result impacts the Bank’s net inter-
est income. Changes in fiscal, economic or monetary policies and in
the financial markets, and their impact on the Bank, are beyond the
Bank’s control and can be difficult to predict or anticipate.
Level of Competition
The Bank currently operates in a highly competitive industry and its
performance is impacted by the level of competition. Customer retention
and attraction of new customers can be influenced by many factors, such
as the quality and pricing of products or services. Deterioration in these
factors or a loss of market share could adversely affect the Bank’s earn-
ings. The Bank operates in a global environment and laws and regula-
tions that apply to it may not universally apply to competitors in various
jurisdictions creating an uneven playing field that may favour certain
domestic institutions. In addition, other types of financial institutions,
such as insurance companies, as well as non-financial institutions are
increasingly offering products and services traditionally offered by banks.
This type of competition could adversely impact the Bank’s earnings by
reducing fee revenue and net interest income.
Changes in Laws and Regulations, and Legal Proceedings
Changes to current laws and regulations, including changes in their
interpretation or implementation, and the introduction of new laws
and regulations, could adversely affect the Bank, such as by limiting
the products or services it can provide and increasing the ability of
competitors to compete with its products and services. In particular,
the most recent financial crisis resulted in, and could further result in,
unprecedented and considerable change to laws and regulations appli-
cable to financial institutions and the financial industry. The Bank’s
failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in
sanctions and financial penalties that could adversely impact its earn-
ings and damage its reputation.
Accuracy and Completeness of Information on Customers
and Counterparties
In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions
with customers and counterparties, the Bank may rely on information
furnished by or on behalf of such other parties, including financial
statements and other financial information. The Bank may also rely on
the representations of customers and counterparties as to the accuracy
and completeness of such information. The Bank’s financial condition
and earnings could be negatively impacted to the extent it relies on
financial statements or information that do not comply with recog-
nized accounting standards such as IFRS or GAAP, that are materially
misleading, or that do not fairly present, in all material respects, the
financial condition and results of operations of the customers and
counterparties.
60
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Accounting Policies and Methods Used by the Bank
The accounting policies and methods the Bank utilizes determine how
the Bank reports its financial condition and results of operations, and
they may require management to make estimates or rely on assump-
tions about matters that are inherently uncertain. Such estimates and
assumptions may require revisions, and these changes may materially
adversely affect the Bank’s results of operations and financial condi-
tion. Significant Accounting Policies are described in Note 1 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank will transition from
Canadian GAAP to IFRS, effective for interim and annual periods
beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The transition to IFRS is
described in Note 34 to the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
BANK SPECIFIC FACTORS
Adequacy of the Bank’s Risk Management Framework
The Bank’s risk management framework is made up of various
processes and strategies for managing risk exposure and includes an
Enterprise Risk Appetite Framework. Types of risk to which the Bank
is subject include credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign
exchange, and interest rate), liquidity, operational, reputational, insur-
ance, strategic, regulatory, legal, environmental, and other risks. There
can be no assurance that the Bank’s framework to manage risk, includ-
ing such framework’s underlying assumptions and models, will be
effective under all conditions and circumstances. If the Bank’s risk
management framework proves ineffective, whether because it does
not keep pace with changing Bank or market circumstances or other-
wise, the Bank could suffer unexpected losses and could be materially
adversely affected.
New Products and Services to Maintain or Increase Market Share
The Bank’s ability to maintain or increase its market share depends,
in part, on its ability to innovate and adapt products and services to
evolving industry standards and develop and/or expand its distribution
networks. There is increasing pressure on financial services companies
to provide products and services at lower prices as well as to increase
the convenience features, such as longer branch hours. This can
reduce the Bank’s net interest income and revenues from fee-based
products and services, increase the Bank’s expenses and, in turn, nega-
tively impact net income. In addition, the widespread adoption of new
technologies by the Bank could require the Bank to make substantial
expenditures to modify or adapt existing products and services without
any guarantee that such technologies could be deployed successfully.
These new technologies could be used in unprecedented ways by the
increasingly sophisticated parties who direct their attempts to defraud
the Bank or its customers through many channels. The Bank might not
be successful in introducing new products and services, achieving
market acceptance of its products and services, developing and
expanding distribution channels, and/or developing and maintaining
loyal customers.
Acquisitions and Strategic Plans
The Bank regularly explores opportunities to acquire other companies,
including financial services companies, or parts of their businesses
directly or indirectly through the acquisition strategies of its subsidiar-
ies. The Bank undertakes thorough due diligence before completing an
acquisition, but it is possible that unanticipated factors could arise and
there is no assurance that the Bank will achieve its financial or strategic
objectives, including anticipated cost savings, or revenue synergies
following acquisitions and integration efforts. The Bank’s, or a subsid-
iary’s, ability to successfully complete an acquisition is often subject to
regulatory and shareholder approvals, and the Bank cannot be certain
when or if, or on what terms and conditions, any required approvals
will be granted. The Bank’s financial performance is also influenced
by its ability to execute strategic plans developed by management. If
these strategic plans do not meet with success or there is a change in
strategic plans, it would impact the Bank’s financial performance and
the Bank’s earnings could grow more slowly or decline.
Ability to Attract, Develop and Retain Key Executives
The Bank’s future performance depends to a large extent on the avail-
ability of qualified people and the Bank’s ability to attract, develop and
retain key executives. There is intense competition for the best people
in the financial services sector. Although it is the goal of the Bank’s
management resource policies and practices to attract, develop, and
retain key executives employed by the Bank or an entity acquired by
the Bank, there is no assurance that the Bank will be able to do so.
Business Infrastructure
Third parties provide key components of the Bank’s business infrastruc-
ture such as voice and data communications and network access. Given
the high volume of transactions we process on a daily basis, the Bank is
reliant on such third party provided services as well as its own informa-
tion technology systems to successfully deliver its products and services.
Despite the Bank’s technology risk management program, contin-
gency and resiliency plans and those of its third party service providers,
disruptions in the Bank’s information technology, internet, network
access or other voice or data communication systems and services
could be subject to failures or disruptions as a result of natural disas-
ters, power or telecommunications disruptions, acts of terrorism or
war, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar events or disruptions.
Such failures, disruptions or breaches could adversely affect the Bank’s
ability to deliver products and services to customers, damage the
Bank’s reputation, and to otherwise adversely affect the Bank’s ability
to conduct business.
Changes to Our Credit Ratings
There can be no assurance that the Bank’s credit ratings and rating
outlooks from rating agencies such as Moody’s Investors Service,
Standard & Poor’s, Fitch Ratings, or DBRS will not be lowered or that
these ratings agencies will not issue adverse commentaries about the
Bank. Such changes could potentially result in higher financing costs and
reduce access to capital markets. A lowering of credit ratings may also
affect the Bank’s ability to enter into normal course derivative or hedging
transactions and impact the costs associated with such transactions.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS RISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT
Managing Risk
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Growing profitably in financial services involves selectively taking and
managing risks within TD’s risk appetite. We take risks required to
build TD’s business, but only if these risks: 1) fit TD’s business strategy
and can be understood and managed; 2) do not expose TD to any
significant single loss events; and 3) do not risk harming the TD brand.
TD has an Enterprise Risk Framework and a risk governance structure
to support effective risk management and adherence to the TD risk
appetite. TD’s risk management resources and processes are designed
to enable all our businesses to understand the risks they are exposed
to, and develop the governance, control, and risk management frame-
work they need to manage them appropriately. These resources and
processes are strengthened by our risk culture which emphasizes trans-
parency and accountability.
RISKS INVOLVED IN OUR BUSINESSES
We have created an Enterprise Risk Framework that sets out the major
risk categories, and identifies and defines a broad number of risks to
which our businesses and operations could be exposed. These risk
categories are Strategic Risk, Credit Risk, Market Risk, Liquidity Risk,
Operational Risk, Insurance Risk, Regulatory and Legal Risk, and
Reputational Risk. This Framework gives us an overall view of all
potential risks TD and its individual businesses face and allows us
to develop appropriate management strategies.

WHO MANAGES RISK
Our risk governance structure emphasizes and balances strong central
oversight and control of risk with clear accountability for, and owner-
ship of, risk within each business unit. This structure supports the flow
of information between the business units, the members of the Senior
Executive Team (SET), who represent each significant business segment
and corporate oversight function (including Risk Management, Internal
Audit and Compliance), the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO),
and the Board of Directors (Board).

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS RISK GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
The key elements of our risk governance structure are:
The Board
The Board oversees TD’s strategic direction and the implementation
of an effective risk culture across the enterprise. It accomplishes its
risk management mandate both directly and through its committees,
including the Risk Committee of the Board (Risk Committee) and the
Audit Committee.
The Risk Committee
The Risk Committee is responsible for overseeing risk management
across TD. On an annual basis, the Risk Committee reviews and
approves TD’s risk appetite statement and related metrics to ensure
ongoing relevance and alignment with TD’s strategy. The Risk
Committee approves enterprise risk management policies, and
reviews actual risk profile against TD’s risk appetite.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee, in addition to overseeing financial reporting,
assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls, including
controls over relevant risk management processes.
CEO and SET
The CEO, the Group Head and Chief Risk Officer (CRO), and other
members of the SET develop TD’s long-term strategic direction and
define TD’s risk appetite and apply it to the businesses. They manage
risk in accordance with TD’s risk appetite and consider the impact of
emerging risks on TD’s strategy and risk profile. This accountability
includes identifying and reporting significant risks to the Risk Committee.
Executive Committees
The CEO in consultation with the CRO designates TD’s Executive
Committees, which support the CEO in the overall management of
risk. These Committees are chaired by members of the SET and meet
regularly to provide oversight on governance, risk, and control at the
most senior level, and review and endorse risk management policies,
strategies, and controls.
The Enterprise Risk Management Committee (ERMC), chaired by
the CEO, provides executive oversight over all risk categories identified
in the Risk Framework. Additional Executive Committees have been
established for certain areas based on the nature of the risk and
related business activity:
• Asset / Liability and Capital Committee – chaired by the Group Head,
Corporate Development, Enterprise Strategy, and Treasury, oversees
the management of TD’s non-trading market risk and each of its
consolidated liquidity, funding, investments, and capital positions.
• Operational Risk Oversight Committee – chaired by the CRO,
oversees the strategic assessment of TD’s governance, control and
operational risk structure.
• Disclosure Committee – chaired by the Group Head, Finance and
Chief Financial Officer, ensures that appropriate controls and proce-
dures are in place and operating to permit timely, accurate, balanced
and compliant disclosure to regulators, shareholders and the market.
• Reputational Risk Committee – chaired by the CRO, oversees that
corporate or business initiatives with significant reputational risk
profiles have received adequate review for reputational risk
implications prior to implementation.
Risk Management
The Risk Management function is headed by the CRO and provides
independent oversight and governance with respect to risk identifica-
tion, measurement, control, and monitoring and reporting. Risk
Management’s primary objective is to support a comprehensive and
proactive risk management approach that promotes a strong risk
management culture. Risk Management works with the business
segments and other corporate oversight groups to establish policies,
standards, and limits that align with TD’s risk appetite, and monitors
and reports on existing and emerging risks and compliance with TD’s
risk appetite. There is an established framework in place for the identi-
fication and assessment of emerging risks and there are clear proce-
dures for when and how risk events and issues are brought to the
attention of senior management and the Risk Committee.
Business Segments
Each business segment within TD has its own risk management func-
tion that reports directly to Risk Management and indirectly to senior
business management. This structure supports an appropriate level of
central oversight while emphasizing ownership and accountability for
risk within the business segment. Business management is responsible
for setting the business-level risk appetite and metrics, which are
reviewed by Risk Management and endorsed by the ERMC and
approved by the CEO, to align with TD’s risk appetite and manage
risk within approved risk limits as set out in TD policies.
Internal Audit
TD’s audit function provides independent assurance to the Board
of the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance
processes employed to ensure compliance with TD’s risk appetite.
Internal Audit reports on its evaluation to management and the Board.
Compliance
The Compliance group establishes risk-based programs and standards
to proactively manage known and emerging compliance risk across TD
by providing independent oversight and delivering operational control
processes to comply with the applicable legislation and regulatory
requirements.
HOW WE MANAGE RISK
TD’s risk management approach is comprehensive and proactive. It
combines the experience and specialized knowledge of individual
business segments, risk professionals, and the corporate oversight
functions. TD’s risk appetite statement is the primary means used to
communicate how TD views risk and its risk tolerances across all levels
of the organization and for all major risk categories. TD’s risk appetite
takes into account our mission, vision, guiding principles, strategy, as
well as TD’s risk philosophy and capacity to bear risk. Current operat-
ing conditions and the impact of emerging risks on TD’s strategy and
risk profile also inform how we apply TD’s risk appetite. TD’s Risk
Appetite Statement is summarized as follows:
We take risks required to build our business, but only if those risks:
1. Fit our business strategy, and can be understood and managed
2. Do not expose the enterprise to any significant single loss events; we
don’t ‘bet the bank’ on any single acquisition, business, or product
3. Do not risk harming the TD brand
63
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The following pages describe the key risks we face and how they
are managed.
Strategic Risk
Strategic risk is the potential for financial loss or reputational damage
arising from ineffective business strategies, improper implementation
of business strategies, or a lack of responsiveness to changes in the
business environment.
WHO MANAGES STRATEGIC RISK
The CEO manages strategic risk supported by the members of the SET
and the ERMC. The CEO, together with the SET, defines the overall
strategy, in consultation with and subject to approval by the Board.
The Enterprise Strategy group, under the leadership of the Group
Head, Corporate Development, Enterprise Strategy, and Treasury is
charged with developing TD’s overall longer-term strategy with input
and support from senior executives across TD. In addition, each member
of the SET is responsible for establishing and managing strategies for
their business areas (organic and via acquisitions) and for ensuring such
strategies are aligned with the overall enterprise strategy and risk appe-
tite. Each SET member is also accountable to the CEO for monitoring,
assessing, managing, and reporting on the effectiveness and risks of
their business strategies. The ERMC oversees the identification and
monitoring of significant and emerging risks related to TD’s strategies
and ensures that mitigating actions are taken where appropriate.
The CEO reports to the Board on the implementation of TD’s
strategies, identifying the risks within those strategies and explaining
how they are managed.
HOW WE MANAGE STRATEGIC RISK
The strategies and operating performance of significant business units
and corporate functions are assessed regularly by the CEO and the
relevant members of the SET through an integrated financial and stra-
tegic planning process, management meetings, operating/financial
reviews, and strategic business reviews. Our annual planning process
considers individual segment strategies and key initiatives and ensures
alignment between business-level and enterprise-level strategies.
Once the strategy is set, regular strategic business reviews conducted
throughout the year ensure that alignment is maintained in its imple-
mentation. The reviews include an evaluation of the strategy of each
business, the overall operating environment including competitive
position, financial performance, initiatives for strategy execution, and
key business risks. The frequency of strategic business reviews depends
on the risk profile and size of the business or function. The overall
state of Strategic Risk and adherence to TD’s risk appetite is reviewed
by the ERMC in the normal course.
Risk Management is responsible for establishing practices and processes
to formulate, report, monitor, and review the application of TD’s risk
appetite and related metrics. Risk Management also monitors and eval-
uates the effectiveness of these practices and metrics. The following
principles govern Risk Management in carrying out its mandate:
• Enterprise-wide in Scope – Risk Management will span all areas
of TD, including third-party alliances and joint venture undertakings,
and all boundaries, both geographic and regulatory.
• Transparent and Effective Communication – Matters relating to
risk will be communicated and escalated in a timely, accurate, and
forthright manner.
• Enhanced Accountability – Risks will be explicitly owned, under-
stood, and actively managed by the business and all employees.
• Independent Oversight – Risk policies, procedures, and reporting
will be established independently and objectively.
• Integrated Risk and Control Culture – Risk management disci-
plines will be integrated into TD’s daily routines, decision-making,
and strategy.
• Strategic Balance – Risk will be managed to an acceptable level
of exposure, recognizing the need to protect shareholder value.
Adherence to the TD’s risk appetite is managed and monitored enter-
prise-wide by Risk Management, supported by management oversight
committees. Key policies and metrics have been implemented to safe-
guard against major risks. These key metrics are reported to senior
management and the Board and Risk Committee regularly. Other
metrics are tracked on an ongoing basis by management, and esca-
lated to senior management and the Board, or a committee of the
Board, as required.
In assessing compliance with TD’s risk appetite and quantifying
risk, TD uses various risk measurement methodologies, including
Value-at-Risk (VaR) analysis, scenario analysis, and stress testing.
We also require significant business units and corporate oversight
functions to assess their own key risks and internal controls annually
through a structured risk and control self-assessment program.
Internal and external risk events are also actively monitored to
assess whether our internal controls are effective. This allows us
to identify, escalate, and monitor significant risk issues as needed.
Our approach to managing risk also requires us to define the inter-
action between risk and capital assessment so that relevant risks can
be appropriately captured in TD’s measurement and management of
capital adequacy. This involves the review, challenge, and endorsement
by senior management committees of the Internal Capital Adequacy
Assessment Process (ICAAP) and related economic capital practices.
Our performance is measured based on the allocation of risk-based
capital to businesses and the cost charged against that capital. Lastly,
we review and assess annually TD management’s performance against
TD’s risk appetite as an input into compensation decisions.
Enterprise Stress Testing
Enterprise-wide stress testing at TD is part of the long-term strategic,
financial, and capital planning exercise that helps define and under-
stand risk tolerance. TD’s Enterprise-wide stress testing program
involves the development, application, and assessment of severe but
plausible stress scenarios on earnings and capital. It enables manage-
ment to identify and articulate enterprise-wide risks and understand
potential vulnerabilities that are relevant to TD’s risk profile. Stress
testing engages senior management in each business segment,
Finance, Treasury and Balance Sheet Management, Economics,
and Risk Management. The results are reviewed by senior executives,
incorporated in TD’s planning process and presented to the Risk
Committee and the Board.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The shaded areas of this MD&A represent a discussion on risk manage-
ment policies and procedures relating to credit, market, and liquidity
risks as required under the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants
(CICA) Handbook Section 3862, Financial Instruments – Disclosures,
which permits these specific disclosures to be included in the MD&A.
Therefore, the shaded areas which include Credit Risk, Market Risk,
and Liquidity Risk, form an integral part of the audited Consolidated
Financial Statements for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2011.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss if a borrower or counterparty in a transaction
fails to meet its agreed payment obligations.
Credit risk is one of the most significant and pervasive risks in
banking. Every loan, extension of credit or transaction that involves
the transfer of payments between TD and other parties or financial
institutions exposes TD to some degree of credit risk.
Our primary objective is to be methodical in our credit risk assessment
so that we can better understand, select, and manage our exposures to
reduce significant fluctuations in earnings.
Our strategy is to ensure central oversight of credit risk in each busi-
ness, reinforcing a culture of transparency, accountability, independence,
and balance.
WHO MANAGES CREDIT RISK
The responsibility for credit risk management is enterprise-wide. To
reinforce ownership of credit risk, credit risk control functions are
integrated into each business but report to Risk Management to
ensure objectivity and accountability.
Our Commercial Banking and Wholesale Banking businesses use
credit risk models and policies to establish borrower and facility risk
ratings, quantify and monitor the level of risk, and facilitate its manage-
ment. The businesses also use risk ratings to determine the amount of
credit exposure we are willing to extend to a particular borrower.
Our retail businesses use approved scoring techniques and standards
in extending, monitoring, and reporting personal credit in our retail
businesses. Management processes are used to monitor country,
industry, and counterparty risk ratings, which include daily, monthly,
quarterly and annual review requirements for credit exposures.
The key parameters used in our credit risk models are monitored
on an ongoing basis.
Unanticipated economic or political changes in a foreign country
could affect cross-border payments for goods and services, loans, divi-
dends, trade-related finance, as well as repatriation of TD’s capital in
that country. TD currently has credit exposure in a number of coun-
tries, with the majority of the exposure in North America. We measure
country risk using approved risk rating models and qualitative factors
that are also used to establish country exposure guidelines covering all
aspects of credit exposure across all businesses. Country risk ratings
are managed on an ongoing basis and are subject to a detailed review
at least annually.
As part of our credit risk strategy, we set limits on the amount of
credit we are prepared to extend to specific industry sectors. We moni-
tor our concentration to any given industry to ensure that our loan
portfolio is diversified. We limit our risk using guidelines based on an
internal risk rating score that combines our industry risk rating model
and detailed industry analysis.
Each business segment’s credit risk control unit is primarily respon-
If several industry segments are affected by common risk factors, we
sible for credit decisions and must comply with established policies,
exposure guidelines and credit approval limits, and policy/limit excep-
tion procedures. It must also adhere to established standards of credit
assessment and obtain Risk Management’s approval for material
credit decisions.
Risk Management provides independent oversight of credit risk by
developing centralized policies that govern and control portfolio risks
and product-specific policies as required.
The Risk Committee ultimately oversees the management of credit
risk and annually approves all major credit risk policies.
HOW WE MANAGE CREDIT RISK
Credit Risk is managed through a centralized infrastructure:
Risk Management centrally approves all credit risk policies, including
exception management guidelines, as well as the discretionary limits
of officers throughout TD for extending lines of credit.
Guidelines are established to monitor and limit country risk, industry
risk, and group exposure in the portfolios in accordance with enter-
prise-wide policies approved by the Risk Committee.
assign a single exposure guideline to those segments. In addition, for
each material industry, Risk Management assigns a maximum exposure
limit or a concentration limit which is a percentage of our total whole-
sale and commercial exposure. We regularly review industry risk ratings
to ensure that those ratings properly reflect the risk of the industry.
We also set limits on the amount of credit we are prepared to
extend to a particular entity or group of entities (also referred to as
“entity risk”). All entity risk is approved by the appropriate decision-
making authority using guidelines based on the entity’s borrower risk
rating, the facility risk rating(s) and the risk rating of the industry in
which the entity operates. This exposure is monitored on a regular
basis. As at October 31, 2011, entity exposures are in compliance with
approved policies and TD does not have material entity exposure to
any entity considered higher risk as defined by our credit policies and
management’s internal monitoring process.
From time-to-time, we may use credit derivatives to mitigate industry
concentration and borrower-specific exposure as part of our portfolio
risk management techniques.
Exceptions to policy/limit guidelines are permitted subject to
approval via established procedures.
The Basel II Framework
The objective of the Basel II Framework is to improve the consistency
of capital requirements internationally and make required regulatory
capital more risk-sensitive. Basel II sets out several options which repre-
sent increasingly more risk-sensitive approaches to calculating credit,
market and operational risk and risk-weighted assets (RWA). RWA are
a key determinant of our regulatory capital requirements.
Credit Risk and the Basel II Framework
We received approval from OSFI to use the Basel II Advanced Internal
Ratings Based (AIRB) Approach for credit risk, effective November 1,
2007. We use the AIRB Approach for all material portfolios, except in
the following areas:
• We have approved exemptions to use the Standardized Approach
for some small credit exposures in North America. Risk Management
reconfirms annually that this approach remains appropriate.
• We have received temporary waivers to use the Standardized
Approach for our margin trading book, some small credit portfolios
and the majority of our U.S. credit portfolios. Plans are in place to
transition these portfolios to the AIRB Approach.
To continue to qualify to use the AIRB Approach for credit risk, TD
must meet the ongoing conditions and requirements established by
OSFI and the Basel II Framework. We regularly assess our compliance
with the Basel II requirements and we have sufficient resources to
implement the remaining Basel II work.
65
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Credit Risk Exposures subject to the Standardized Approach
The Standardized Approach to credit risk is used primarily for assets
in the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking portfolio and plans are
in place to transition to the AIRB Approach. Under the Standardized
Approach, the assets are multiplied by risk-weights prescribed by OSFI
to determine RWA. These risk-weights are assigned according to
certain factors including counterparty type, product type, and the
nature/extent of credit risk mitigation. We use external credit ratings
assigned by one or more of Moody’s Investors Service, Standard &
Poor’s, and Fitch to determine the appropriate risk weight for our
exposures to Sovereigns (governments, central banks and certain
public sector entities) and Banks (regulated deposit-taking institutions,
securities firms and certain public sector entities).
We apply the following risk weights to on-balance sheet exposures
under the Standardized Approach:
Sovereign
Bank
Residential secured
Other retail (including small business entities)
Corporate
0%1
20%1
35% or 75%2
75%
100%
1 The risk weight may vary according to the external risk rating.
2 35% applied when loan to value <=80%, 75% when loan to value >80%.
Lower risk-weights apply where approved credit risk mitigants exist.
Loans that are more than 90 days past due receive a risk-weight of
either 100% (residential secured) or 150% (all other).
For off-balance sheet exposures, specified credit conversion factors
are used to convert the notional amount of the exposure into a credit
equivalent amount.
Credit Risk Exposures subject to the AIRB Approach
The AIRB Approach to credit risk is used for all material portfolios except
in the areas noted in the “Credit Risk and the Basel II Framework” section.
Banks that adopt the AIRB Approach to credit risk must report credit risk
exposures by counterparty type, each having different underlying risk
characteristics. These counterparty types may differ from the presentation
in our financial statements.
TD’s credit risk exposures are divided into two main portfolios, non-
retail and retail. In the non-retail portfolio, we manage exposures on an
individual borrower basis, using industry and sector-specific credit risk
models, and expert judgment. We have categorized non-retail credit
risk exposures according to the following Basel II counterparty types:
corporate (wholesale and commercial customers), sovereign and bank.
In the retail portfolio (individuals and small businesses), we manage
exposures on a pooled basis, using predictive credit scoring techniques.
We have three sub-types of retail exposures: residential secured (e.g.,
individual mortgages, home equity lines of credit), qualifying revolving
retail (e.g., individual credit cards, unsecured lines of credit and over-
draft protection products), and other retail (e.g., personal loans,
student lines of credit, and small business banking credit products).
Risk Parameters
Under the AIRB Approach, credit risk is measured using the following
risk parameters: probability of default (PD) – the likelihood that the
borrower will not be able to meet its scheduled repayments within a
one year time horizon; loss given default (LGD) – the amount of the
loss TD would likely incur when a borrower defaults on a loan, which
is expressed as a percentage of exposure at default (EAD) – the total
amount we are exposed to at the time of default. By applying these
risk parameters, we can measure and monitor our credit risk to ensure
it remains within pre-determined thresholds.
Non-retail Exposures
We evaluate credit risk for non-retail exposures by rating for both the
borrower risk and the facility risk. We use this system for all corporate,
sovereign and bank exposures. We determine the risk ratings using
industry and sector-specific credit risk models that quantify and moni-
tor the level of risk and facilitate its management. All borrowers and
facilities are assigned an internal risk rating that must be reviewed at
least once each year.
Each borrower is assigned a borrower risk rating that reflects the
PD of the borrower using proprietary models and expert judgment.
In assessing borrower risk, we review the borrower’s competitive posi-
tion, industry, financial performance, economic trends, management
and access to funds. TD’s 21-point borrower risk rating scale broadly
aligns to external ratings as follows:
Description
Investment grade
Non-investment grade
Watch and classified
Impaired/default
The facility risk rating maps to LGD and takes into account facility-
specific characteristics such as collateral, seniority ranking of debt, and
loan structure. Internal risk ratings are key to portfolio monitoring and
management and are used to set exposure limits and loan pricing.
Internal risk ratings are also used in the calculation of regulatory capital,
economic capital, and general allowance for credit losses.
Derivative Exposures
Credit risk on derivative financial instruments, also known as counter-
party credit risk, is the risk of a financial loss occurring as a result of
the failure of a counterparty to meet its obligation to TD. We use the
Current Exposure Method to determine regulatory capital requirements
for derivative exposures. The Treasury Credit group within Wholesale
Banking is responsible for implementing and ensuring compliance with
credit policies established by TD for the management of derivative
credit exposures.

We use a range of qualitative and quantitative methods to measure
and manage counterparty credit risk. These include statistical methods
to measure and limit future potential exposure and stress tests to iden-
tify and quantify exposure to extreme events. We set gross notional
limits to manage business volumes and concentrations and we regu-
larly assess market conditions and the pricing quality of underlying
financial instruments. Counterparty credit risk may increase during
periods of receding market liquidity for certain instruments. Treasury
Credit Management meets regularly with Trading and Credit Risk
Management and front office Trading to discuss how evolving market
conditions may impact on our assessment of market risk and counter-
party credit risk.
TD actively engages in risk mitigation strategies through the use
of multi-product derivative master netting agreements, collateral and
other credit risk mitigation techniques. Derivative-related credit risks
are subject to the same credit approval, limit, monitoring, and expo-
sure guideline standards that we use for managing other transactions
that create credit risk exposure. These standards include evaluating
the creditworthiness of counterparties, measuring and monitoring
exposures, including wrong-way risk exposures, and managing the
size, diversification, and maturity structure of the portfolios.
66
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
There are two types of wrong-way risk exposures: general and
specific. General wrong-way risk arises when the probability of default
of the counterparties moves in the same direction as a given market risk
factor. Specific wrong-way risk arises when the exposure to a particular
counterparty moves in the same direction as the probability of default
of the counterparty due to the nature of the transactions entered into
with that counterparty. These exposures require specific approval by the
appropriate level within the credit approval process. We record specific
wrong-way risk exposures in the same manner as direct loan obligations
and control them by way of approved facility limits.
As part of the credit risk monitoring process, management meets on
a periodic basis to review all exposures, including exposures resulting
from derivative financial instruments to higher risk counterparties. As
at October 31, 2011, after taking into account risk mitigation strate-
gies, TD does not have a material derivative exposure to any counter-
party considered higher risk as defined by management’s internal
monitoring process. In addition, TD does not have a material credit risk
valuation adjustment to any specific counterparty.
Retail Exposures
We have a large number of individual and small business customers in
our retail credit segment. We use automated credit and behavioural
scoring systems to process requests for retail credit. For larger and
more complex transactions, we direct the requests to underwriters in
regional credit centres who work within clear approval limits. Once
retail credits are funded, we monitor current internal and external risk
indicators on a regular basis to identify changes in risk.
We assess retail exposures on a pooled basis, with each pool
consisting of exposures with similar characteristics. Pools are
segmented by product type and by the PD estimate. We have devel-
oped proprietary statistical models and decision strategies for each
retail product portfolio. Our models are based on ten or more years
of internal historical data. Credit risk parameters (PD, EAD and LGD)
for each individual facility are updated quarterly using the most recent
borrower credit bureau and product-related information. We adjust
the calculation of LGD to reflect the potential of increased loss during
an economic downturn.
The following table maps PD ranges to risk levels:

Validation of the Credit Risk Rating System
Credit risk rating systems and methodologies are independently validated
to verify that they remain accurate predictors of risk. The validation
process includes the following considerations:
• Risk parameter estimates – PDs, EADs, and LGDs are reviewed and
updated against actual loss experience to ensure estimates continue
to be reasonable predictors of potential loss.
• Model performance – Estimates continue to be discriminatory,
stable, and predictive.
• Data quality – Data used in the risk rating system is accurate,
appropriate, and sufficient.
• Assumptions – Key assumptions underlying the development of
the model remain valid for the current portfolio and environment.
Risk Management ensures that the credit risk rating system complies
with TD’s model risk rating policy. At least annually, the Risk Committee
is informed of the performance of the credit risk rating system. The
Risk Committee must approve any material changes to TD’s credit risk
rating system.
Stress Testing
To determine the potential loss that could be incurred under a range
of adverse scenarios, we subject our credit portfolios to stress tests.
Stress tests assess vulnerability of the portfolios to the effects of severe
but plausible situations, such as an economic downturn or a material
market disruption.
Credit Risk Mitigation
The techniques we use to reduce or mitigate credit risk include written
policies and procedures to value and manage financial and non-financial
security (collateral) and to review and negotiate netting agreements.
The amount and type of collateral and other credit risk mitigation
techniques required are based on TD’s own assessment of the counter-
party’s credit quality and capacity to pay.
In the Retail and Commercial Banking businesses, security for loans
is primarily non-financial and includes residential real estate, real estate
under development, commercial real estate and business assets, such
as accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets. In the Wholesale
Banking business, a large portion of loans is to investment grade
borrowers where no security is pledged. Non-investment grade borrow-
ers typically pledge business assets in the same manner as commercial
borrowers. Common standards across TD are used to value collateral,
determine recalculation schedules and to document, register, perfect
and monitor collateral.
Security for derivative exposures is primarily financial and includes
cash and negotiable securities issued by highly rated governments and
investment grade issuers. The Treasury Credit group within Wholesale
Banking is the central source of financial collateral processes. These
processes include pre-defined discounts and procedures for the receipt,
safekeeping, and release of pledged securities.
In all but exceptional situations, we secure collateral by taking
possession and controlling it in a jurisdiction where we can legally
enforce our collateral rights. Exceptionally, and when demanded by
our counterparty, we hold or pledge collateral with a third-party
custodian. We document third-party arrangements with a Custody
and Control Agreement.
We may take guarantees to reduce the risk in credit exposures.
We only recognize irrevocable guarantees that are provided by entities
with a better risk rating than that of the borrower or counterparty
to the transaction.
TD makes use of credit derivatives to mitigate credit risk. The credit,
legal, and other risks associated with these transactions are controlled
through well-established procedures. Our policy is to enter into these
transactions with investment grade financial institutions. Credit risk to
these counterparties is managed through the same approval, limit and
monitoring processes we use for all counterparties for which we have
credit exposure. We also use collateral and master netting agreements
to mitigate derivative counterparty exposure.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Gross Credit Risk Exposure
Gross credit risk exposure, also referred to as exposure at default
(EAD), is the total amount we are exposed to at the time of default of
a loan and is measured before specific provisions or write-offs. Gross
credit risk exposure does not reflect the effects of credit risk mitigation
and includes both on- and off-balance sheet exposures. On-balance
sheet exposures consist primarily of outstanding loans, acceptances,
non-trading securities, derivatives, and certain other repo-style transac-
tions. Off-balance sheet exposures consist primarily of undrawn
commitments, guarantees, and certain other repo-style transactions.
Gross credit risk exposure for the two approaches we use to
measure credit risk is given in the following table:

1 Gross credit risk exposures represent EAD and are before the effects of credit risk
mitigation. This table excludes securitization and equity exposures.
Other Credit Risk Exposures
Non-trading Equity Exposures
Our non-trading equity exposures are at a level that represents less
than 5% of our combined Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. As a result, we
use OSFI-prescribed risk weights to calculate our RWA on non-trading
equity exposures.
• Arbitrage – We take positions in certain markets or products and
offset the risk in other markets or products. Our knowledge of
various markets and products and how they relate to one another
allows us to identify and benefit from pricing anomalies.
• Positioning – We aim to make profits by taking positions in certain
financial markets in anticipation of changes in those markets.
Securitization Exposures
For externally rated securitization exposures, we use both the Standardized
Approach and the Ratings Based Approach (RBA). Both approaches
assign risk weights to exposures using external ratings. We use ratings
assigned by one or more of Moody’s Investors Service, Standard &
Poor’s, Fitch and DBRS. The RBA also takes into account additional
factors including the time horizon of the rating (long-term or short-
term), the amount of detail available on the underlying asset pool and
the seniority of the position.
We use the Internal Assessment Approach (IAA) to calculate RWA
for our exposures relating to asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP)
securitizations that are not externally rated. Under the IAA, exposures
are multiplied by OSFI-prescribed risk weights to calculate RWA.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss in financial instruments or the balance
sheet due to adverse movements in market factors such as interest
and exchange rates, prices, credit spreads, volatilities, and correlations.
We are exposed to market risk in our trading and investment portfo-
lios, as well as through our non-trading activities. In our trading and
investment portfolios, we are active participants in the market, seeking
to realize returns for TD through careful management of our positions
and inventories. In our non-trading activities, we are exposed to market
risk through the transactions that our customers execute with us.
We comply with the Basel II market risk requirements as at October
31, 2011 using the Internal Model Method.
MARKET RISK IN TRADING ACTIVITIES
The four main trading activities that expose us to market risk are:
• Market making – We provide markets for a large number of securities
and other traded products. We keep an inventory of these securities to
buy from and sell to investors, profiting from the spread between bid
and ask prices.
• Sales – We provide a wide variety of financial products to meet the
needs of our clients, earning money on these products from mark-ups
and commissions.
WHO MANAGES MARKET RISK IN TRADING ACTIVITIES
Primary responsibility for managing market risk in trading activities lies
with Wholesale Banking with oversight from Trading Risk within Risk
Management. There is a Market Risk and Capital Committee chaired
by the Senior Vice President, Trading Risk, and including Wholesale
Banking senior management which meets regularly to conduct a review
of the market risk profile and trading results of our trading businesses,
recommend changes to risk policies, review underwriting inventories,
and review the usage of capital and assets in Wholesale Banking.
HOW WE MANAGE MARKET RISK IN TRADING ACTIVITIES
Market risk plays a key part in the assessment of any trading business
strategy. We launch new trading initiatives or expand existing ones
only if the risk has been thoroughly assessed and is judged to be
within our risk appetite and business expertise, and if the appropriate
infrastructure is in place to monitor, control, and manage the risk.
Trading Limits
We set trading limits that are consistent with the approved business
strategy for each business and our tolerance for the associated market
risk, aligned to TD’s market risk appetite. In setting limits, we take into
account market volatility, market liquidity, organizational experience
and business strategy. Limits are prescribed at the portfolio level,
business line level, and in Wholesale Banking in aggregate.
The core market risk limits are based on the key risk drivers in the
business and include notional limits, credit spread limits, yield curve
shift limits, price, and volatility shift limits.
Another primary measure of trading limits is Value-at-Risk (VaR),
which we use to monitor and control overall risk levels and to calculate
the regulatory capital required for market risk in trading activities. VaR
measures the adverse impact that potential changes in market rates
and prices could have on the value of a portfolio over a specified
period of time.
At the end of each day, risk positions are compared with risk limits,
and any excesses are reported in accordance with established market
risk policies and procedures.
68
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Calculating VaR
TD estimates total VaR on a daily basis by combining the General
Market Risk (GMR) and Debt Specific Risk (DSR) exposure associated
with TD’s trading positions. GMR is determined by creating a distribu-
tion of potential changes in the market value of the current portfolio.
We value the current portfolio using the market price and rate changes
(for equity, interest rate, foreign exchange, credit, and commodity
products) of the most recent 259 trading days. GMR is computed as
the threshold level that portfolio losses are not expected to exceed
more than one out of every 100 trading days.
DSR measures migration and default risk as well as idiosyncratic
credit spread risk for credit products in the trading portfolio. Monte
Carlo Simulation is used to capture potential changes in value due to
migrations, defaults and idiosyncratic spread movements. Similar to
GMR, DSR is computed as the threshold level that portfolio losses are
not expected to exceed more than one out of every 100 trading days.
Trading-related revenue is the total of trading income reported in
other income and the net interest income from trading positions
reported in net interest income. Trading related revenue in the graph
below excludes revenue related to changes in the fair value of loan
commitments. The commitments are not included in the Value at Risk
measure as they are not managed as trading positions. In 2011, there
were 63 days of trading losses, with 1 breach of VaR primarily caused
by market events around the U.S. Government debt rating downgrade.
The graph below discloses daily VaR usage and trading-related revenue
within Wholesale Banking.

3 The aggregate VaR is less than the sum of the VaR of the different risk types due
factors. Upon implementation, inclusion of these additional risk factors increased
VaR by approximately $2 million.
2 Interest rate risk includes credit spread risk results until July 21, 2011. Credit spread
risk is measured separately from interest rate risk as of July 22, 2011. Prior period

to risk offsets resulting from portfolio diversification.
4 Not meaningful. It is not meaningful to compute a diversification effect because
the high and low may occur on different days for different risk types.
Validation of VaR Model
For each of our trading portfolios, and for the portfolio as a whole, we
use a back-testing process to compare the actual and theoretical profit
and losses to VaR to ensure that they are consistent with the statistical
assumptions of the VaR model. The theoretical change in profit and
loss is generated using the daily price movements on the assumption
that there is no change in the composition of the portfolio.
Stress Testing
Our trading business is subject to an overall global stress test limit. In
addition, global businesses have stress test limits, and each broad risk
class has an overall stress test limit. Stress scenarios are designed to
model extreme economic events, replicate worst-case historical experi-
ences, or introduce severe but plausible changes in key market risk
factors. The stress testing program includes scenarios developed using
actual historical market data during periods of market disruption. The
events we have modeled include the 1987 equity market crash, the
1998 Russian debt default crisis, the aftermath of September 11,
2001, the 2007 Canadian ABCP crisis, and the collapse of Lehman
Brothers along with the ensuing credit crisis of fall 2008.
Stress tests are produced and reviewed regularly with the Market
Risk and Capital Committee.
MARKET RISK IN OTHER WHOLESALE BANKING ACTIVITIES
We are also exposed to market risk arising from a legacy portfolio of
bonds and preferred shares held in TD Securities and in our remaining
merchant banking investments. Risk management reviews and
approves policies and procedures, which are established to monitor,
measure, and mitigate these risks.
We are exposed to market risk when we enter into non-trading
banking transactions with our customers. These transactions primarily
include deposit taking and lending, which are also referred to as “asset
and liability” positions.
69
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Asset/Liability Management
Asset/liability management deals with managing the market risks of
our traditional banking activities. Such market risks primarily include
interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The Treasury and Balance Sheet Management Department (TBSM)
measures and manages the market risks of our non-trading banking
activities, with oversight from the Asset/Liability and Capital Committee,
which is chaired by the Group Head Corporate Development, Strategy
and Treasury, and includes other senior executives. The Risk Committee
of the Board periodically reviews and approves all asset/liability manage-
ment market risk policies and receives reports on compliance with
approved risk limits.
HOW WE MANAGE OUR ASSET AND LIABILITY POSITIONS
When TD products are issued, risks are measured using a fully hedged
option-adjusted transfer-pricing framework that allows us to measure
and manage product risk within a target risk profile. The framework
also ensures that business units engage in risk-taking activities only if
they are productive.
Managing Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could have
on our margins, earnings and economic value. The objective of interest
rate risk management is to ensure that earnings are stable and predict-
able over time. To this end, we have adopted a disciplined hedging
approach to managing the net income contribution from our asset and
liability positions, including a modeled maturity profile for non-rate
sensitive assets, liabilities and equity. Key aspects of this approach are:
• Evaluating and managing the impact of rising or falling interest rates
on net interest income and economic value.
• Measuring the contribution of each TD product on a risk-adjusted,
fully-hedged basis, including the impact of financial options, such
as mortgage commitments, that are granted to customers.
• Developing and implementing strategies to stabilize net income
from all personal and commercial banking products.
We are exposed to interest rate risk when asset and liability principal
and interest cash flows have different payment or maturity dates.
These are called “mismatched positions.” An interest-sensitive asset
or liability is repriced when interest rates change, when there is cash
flow from final maturity, normal amortization, or when customers
exercise prepayment, conversion or redemption options offered for
the specific product.
Our exposure to interest rate risk depends on the size and direc-
tion of interest rate changes, and on the size and maturity of the
mismatched positions. It is also affected by new business volumes,
renewals of loans or deposits, and how actively customers exercise
options, such as prepaying a loan before its maturity date.
Interest rate risk is measured using various interest rate “shock”
scenarios to estimate the impact of changes in interest rates on both
TD’s annual Earnings at Risk (EaR) and Economic Value at Risk (EVaR).
EaR is defined as the change in our annual net interest income from a
100 bps unfavourable interest rate shock due to mismatched cash
flows. EVaR is defined as the difference in the change in the present
value of our asset portfolio and the change in the present value of our
liability portfolio, including off-balance sheet instruments, resulting
from a 100 bps unfavourable interest rate shock.
TD’s policy sets overall limits on EVaR and EaR based on a 100 bps
adverse interest rate shock for its management of Canadian and U.S.
non-trading interest rate risk.
We regularly perform valuations of all asset and liability positions, as
well as off-balance sheet exposures. Our objective is to generate stable
interest income over time through disciplined asset/liability matching.
The interest rate risk exposures from products with closed (non-
optioned) fixed-rate cash flows are measured and managed separately
from products that offer customers prepayment options. We project
future cash flows by looking at the impact of:
• An assumed maturity profile for our core deposit portfolio.
• Our targeted investment profile on our net equity position.
• Liquidation assumptions on mortgages other than from embedded
pre-payment options.
The objective of portfolio management within the closed book is to
eliminate cash flow mismatches, so that net interest income becomes
more predictable. Product options, whether they are freestanding
options such as mortgage rate commitments or embedded in loans
and deposits, expose us to a significant financial risk. We model our
exposure from freestanding mortgage rate commitment options using
an expected funding profile based on historical experience. We model
our exposure to written options embedded in other products, such as
the rights to prepay or redeem, based on analysis of rational customer
behaviour. We also model the margin compression that would be
caused by declining interest rates on certain interest rate sensitive
demand deposit accounts. To manage product option exposures we
purchase options or use a dynamic hedging process designed to repli-
cate the payoff on a purchased option.
The following graph shows our interest rate risk exposure (as measured
by EVaR) on all non-trading assets, liabilities, and derivative instruments
used for interest rate risk management.

Parallel interest rate shock percentage
TD uses derivative financial instruments, wholesale instruments and
other capital market alternatives and, less frequently, product pricing
strategies to manage interest rate risk. As at October 31, 2011, an
immediate and sustained 100 bps increase in interest rates would have
decreased the economic value of shareholders’ equity by $110.9 million
(2010 – ($165.4) million) after tax. An immediate and sustained
100 bps decrease in interest rates would have reduced the economic
value of shareholders’ equity by $201.9 million (2010 – ($116.5) million)
after tax.

For the EaR measure (not shown on the graph), a 100 basis point
increase in interest rates on October 31, 2011 would have decreased
pre-tax net income by $40.4 million (2010 – $20.7 million decrease)
in the next 12 months. A 100 basis point decrease in interest rates
on October 31, 2011 would have increased pre-tax net income by

Managing Non-trading Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign exchange risk refers to losses that could result from changes in
foreign-currency exchange rates. Assets and liabilities that are denomi-
nated in foreign currencies have foreign exchange risk.
We are exposed to non-trading foreign exchange risk from our
investments in foreign operations. When our foreign currency assets
are greater or less than our liabilities in that currency, they create a
foreign currency open position. An adverse change in foreign exchange
rates can impact our reported net income and shareholders’ equity,
and also our capital ratios. Our objective is to minimize these impacts.
Minimizing the impact of an adverse foreign exchange rate change
on reported shareholders’ equity will cause some variability in capital
ratios, due to the amount of RWA that are denominated in a foreign
currency. If the Canadian dollar weakens, the Canadian-dollar equiva-
lent of our RWA in a foreign currency increases, thereby increasing our
capital requirement. For this reason, the foreign exchange risk arising
The model also includes the impact of projected product volume
growth, new margin and product mix assumptions.
Managing Available-for-sale Investment Portfolio
The Bank manages an available-for-sale securities portfolio as part of
the overall asset and liability management process. The available-for-
sale securities portfolio consists of two distinct populations, a Canadian
mortgage backed securities portfolio that is backed by loans originated
and subsequently securitized by the Bank and the investment portfolio
that consists of securities purchased by the Bank. The Canadian mort-
gage backed securities portfolio gives the Bank flexibility for collateral
posting, funding, and liquidity. In general, the investment portfolio is
managed using high quality low risk securities in a manner appropriate
to the attainment of the following goals: (i) to generate a targeted
credit of funds to deposits in excess of lending; (ii) to provide a suffi-
cient margin of liquid assets to meet unanticipated deposit and loan
fluctuations and overall funds management objectives; (iii) to provide
eligible securities to meet collateral requirements and cash manage-
ment operations; and (iv) to manage the target interest rate risk profile
of the balance sheet. Strategies for the investment portfolio are
managed based on the interest rate environment, balance sheet mix,
actual and anticipated loan demand, funding opportunities and the
overall interest rate sensitivity of the Bank. The Risk Committee reviews
and approves the investment policies and limits for TD’s own portfolio.
WHY PRODUCT MARGINS FLUCTUATE OVER TIME
As explained above, the objective of our approach to asset/liability
management is to lock in margins on fixed-rate loans and deposits as
they are booked. It also offsets the impact of an instantaneous inter-
est-rate shock on the amount of net interest income to be earned over
time as a result of cash flow mismatches and the exercise of embedded
options. Despite this approach, however, the margin on average earn-
ing assets is subject to change over time for the following reasons:
• Margins earned on new and renewing fixed-rate products relative
to the margin previously earned on matured products will affect the
existing portfolio margin.
• The weighted-average margin on average earning assets will shift
as the mix of business changes.
• Changes in the prime-Bankers’ Acceptances (BA) basis and the lag
in changing product prices in response to changes in wholesale
rates may have an impact on margins earned.
The general level of interest rates will affect the return we generate
on our modeled maturity profile for core deposits and the investment
profile for our net equity position as it evolves over time. The general
level of interest rates is also a key driver of some modeled option expo-
sures, and will affect the cost of hedging such exposures.
Our approach tends to moderate the impact of these factors over
time, resulting in a more stable and predictable earnings stream.
We use simulation modeling of net interest income to assess the
level and changes in net interest income to be earned over time under
various interest rate scenarios.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of having insufficient cash or collateral resources
to meet financial obligations without raising funds at unfavourable
rates or having the ability to sell assets at a reasonable price in a timely
manner. Demand for cash can arise from deposit withdrawals, debt
maturities, and commitments to provide credit or liquidity support.
As a financial organization, we must ensure that we have continued
access to sufficient and appropriate funding to cover our financial obli-
gations as they come due, and to sustain and grow our assets and
operations under both normal and stress conditions. In the event of
a funding disruption, we need to continue to operate without being
forced to sell non-marketable assets and/or significantly altering our
business strategy. The process that ensures adequate access to funding
and reserve liquidity is known as the management of liquidity risk.
WHAT IS OUR LIQUIDITY RISK APPETITE?
Liquidity risk has the potential to place TD in a highly vulnerable
position because, in the event that we cannot meet our funding
commitments and/or requirements, we would cease to operate as
a going concern. Accordingly, we maintain a sound and prudent
approach to managing our potential exposure to liquidity risk including
targeting a stringent 90-day survival horizon under severe operating
conditions caused by a combination of a bank-specific and market-wide
71
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Our surplus liquid-asset position is our total liquid assets less our
unsecured wholesale funding requirements, potential non-wholesale
deposit run-off and contingent liabilities coming due in a given speci-
fied time bucket. On October 31, 2011, our aggregate surplus liquid-
asset position for up to 90 days, as measured under the “Severe
Combined Stress” scenario for Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking (including domestic Wealth Management) and Wholesale
Bank operations was $2.7 billion, (2010 – $10.7 billion). The surplus
liquid-asset position for U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking opera-
tions as at October 31, 2011 was $10.6 billion (2010 – $7.0 billion).
We also use an extended liquidity coverage test to measure our ability
to fund our operations on a fully secured basis for a period of one year.
For the purposes of calculating the results of this test, we estimate the
marketability and pledging potential of available assets not considered
liquid within 90 days under the “Severe Combined Stress” scenario and
then deduct an estimate for potential wholesale liability and deposit
run-off and additional utilization of committed lines of credit over a 91
to 365 day period. On October 31, 2011, our estimate of liquid assets
less requirements, as measured under the extended liquidity coverage
test, for Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and Wholesale
Banking operations was $15.1 billion (2010 – $15.4 billion) and for
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking operations was $15.3 billion
(2010 – $13.4 billion).
While each of our business segments has responsibility for the
measurement and management of its own liquidity risks, we also
manage liquidity on an enterprise-wide basis in order to maintain
consistent and efficient management of liquidity risk across all of
our operations.
We have contingency funding plans in place to provide direction
in the event of a specific local liquidity crisis.
Credit ratings are important to our borrowing costs and ability
to raise funds. Rating downgrades could potentially result in higher
financing costs and reduce access to capital markets. A lowering of
credit ratings may also affect our ability to enter into normal course
derivative or hedging transactions and impact the costs associated with
such transactions. We regularly review the level of increased collateral
our trading counterparties would require in the event of a downgrade
of TD’s credit rating. We believe that the impact of a one notch down-
grade would be minimal and could be readily managed in the normal
course of business, but more severe downgrades could have a more
significant impact by increasing our cost of borrowing and/or requiring
us to post additional collateral for the benefit of our trading counter-
parties. Credit ratings and outlooks provided by the ratings agencies
reflect their views and are subject to change from time to time, based
on a number of factors, including our financial strength, competitive
position and liquidity as well as factors not entirely within our control,
including the methodologies used by rating agencies and conditions
affecting the overall financial services industry.

stress scenario. This targeted survival horizon and related liquidity and
funding management strategies comprise an integrated liquidity risk
management program designed to ensure that we maintain a low
exposure to adverse changes in liquidity levels due to identified causes
of liquidity risk.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
The Asset/Liability and Capital Committee (ALCO) oversees our liquidity
risk management program. It ensures that there is an effective manage-
ment structure to properly measure and manage liquidity risk. In addi-
tion, the Global Liquidity Forum, comprising senior management from
TBSM, Risk Management, Finance, and Wholesale Banking, identifies
and monitors our liquidity risks. When necessary, the Forum recom-
mends actions to the ALCO to maintain our liquidity positions within
limits under normal and stress conditions.
We have one Global Liquidity & Asset Pledging Policy, but the major
operating areas measure and manage liquidity risks as follows:
• TBSM is responsible for consolidating and reporting TD’s global
liquidity position and for managing the Canadian Personal
and Commercial Banking and domestic Wealth Management
liquidity positions.
• Wholesale Banking, working closely with Trading Risk within Risk
Management, is responsible for managing the liquidity risks inherent
in each of the Wholesale Banking portfolios and its regulated
consolidated subsidiaries.
• TD’s U.S. Treasury Group is responsible for managing the liquidity
position of the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment.
TBSM works closely with the segment to ensure consistency with
the global liquidity risk management framework.
• Each area must comply with the Global Liquidity and Asset Pledging
Policy. The policy is periodically reviewed by the Risk Committee.
Management responsible for liquidity in our U.S. segment and each of
our regulated overseas branches and/or subsidiaries is also required to
implement the policies and related liquidity risk management programs
that are necessary in order to meet local business conditions and/or
regulatory requirements. Each of these policies is subject to review
by the Global Liquidity Forum and approval by ALCO.
HOW WE MANAGE LIQUIDITY RISK
Our overall liquidity requirement is defined as the amount of liquidity
we need to fund expected cash flows, as well as a prudent liquidity
reserve to fund potential cash outflows in the event of a capital
markets disruption or other event that could affect our access to
liquidity. We do not rely on short-term wholesale funding for purposes
other than funding marketable securities or short-term assets.
To define the amount of liquidity that must be held at all times
for a specified minimum 90 day period, we use a conservative “Severe
Combined Stress” scenario that models potential liquidity requirements
and asset marketability during a confidence crisis that has been trig-
gered in the markets specifically with respect to our ability to meet
obligations as they come due. In addition to this Bank-specific event,
the “Severe Combined Stress” scenario also incorporates the impact
of a stressed market-wide liquidity event that results in a significant
reduction in access to both short- and long-term funding for all insti-
tutions, a significant increase in our cost of funds and a significant
decrease in the marketability of assets. This scenario ensures that we
have sufficient liquidity to cover total requirements equal to 100%
of our unsecured wholesale debt coming due, potential retail and
commercial deposit run-off and forecasted operational requirements.
In addition, we include coverage of Bank-sponsored funding programs,
such as the Bankers’ Acceptances we issue on behalf of clients and
Bank-sponsored ABCP.
To meet the resulting total liquidity requirements, we hold assets
that can be readily converted into cash. Assets must be currently
marketable, of sufficient credit quality and available-for-sale to be
considered readily convertible into cash. Liquid assets are represented
in a cumulative liquidity gap framework based on settlement timing
and market depth. Assets that are not available without delay due to
collateral requirements or other similar purposes are not considered
within the framework.
72
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FUNDING
We have a large base of stable retail and commercial deposits, making
up over 70% of total funding. In addition, we have an active external
wholesale funding program to provide access to widely diversified
funding sources, including asset securitization, covered bonds and
unsecured wholesale debt. Our unsecured wholesale funding is diversi-
fied geographically, by currency and by distribution network. We main-
tain limits on the amounts of deposits we can hold from any single
depositor in order not to rely excessively on one or a small group of
customers as a source of funding. When deposit levels exceed these
limits, the excess amount must be invested in highly liquid assets and,
as a result, is not used to fund our Wholesale Banking requirements.
We also limit the wholesale funding that can mature in a given time
period. These funding limits are designed to address the potential
operational complexity in selling assets and reduced asset liquidity in
a systemic market event and also serve to limit our exposure to large
liability maturities.
Over the last year, we have been able to meet our external funding
needs primarily through sales of National Housing Act Mortgage-
Backed Securities, Covered Bonds, Term Asset-Backed Securities and
Senior Medium Term Notes. We continue to explore all opportunities
to access expanded or lower cost funding on a sustainable basis
relative to our projected term funding requirements.

CREDIT AND LIQUIDITY COMMITMENTS
In the normal course of business, TD enters into various commitments
and contingent liability contracts. The primary purpose of these contracts
is to make funds available for the financing needs of customers. TD’s
policy for requiring collateral security with respect to these contracts
and the types of collateral security held is generally the same as for
loans made by TD.
The values of credit instruments reported below represent the
maximum amount of additional credit that TD could be obligated to
extend should contracts be fully utilized. The following table provides
the contractual maturity of notional amounts of credit, guarantee,
and liquidity commitments should contracts be fully drawn upon and
clients default. Since a significant portion of guarantees and commit-
ments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
of the contractual amounts is not representative of future liquidity
requirements.

PLEDGED ASSETS, REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND COLLATERAL
In the ordinary course of business, securities and other assets are
pledged against liabilities. As at October 31, 2011, securities and other
assets with a carrying value of $49 billion (2010 – $46 billion) were
pledged in respect of securities sold short or under repurchase agree-
ments. In addition, as at October 31, 2011, assets with a carrying value
of $18 billion (2010 – $17 billion) were deposited for the purposes of
participation in clearing and payment systems and depositories or to
have access to the facilities of central banks in foreign jurisdictions, or
as security for contract settlements with derivative exchanges or other
derivative counterparties.
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into security
lending arrangements where it agrees to lend unpaid customer
securities, or its own securities, to borrowers on a fully collateralized
basis. Securities lent as at October 31, 2011 amounted to $16 billion
(2010 – $12 billion).
In addition, the Bank may accept financial assets as collateral that
the Bank is permitted to sell or repledge in the absence of default.
These transactions are conducted under terms that are usual and
customary to standard lending, and security borrowing and lending
activities. As at October 31, 2011, the fair value of financial assets
accepted as collateral that the Bank is permitted to sell or repledge in
the absence of default is $26.2 billion (2010 – $24.2 billion). The fair
value of financial assets accepted as collateral that has been sold or
repledged (excluding cash collateral) was $8.6 billion as at October 31,
2011 (2010 – $6.7 billion).
As at October 31, 2011, $7.4 billion (2010 – $2.2 billion) of consumer
instalment and other personal loan assets were also pledged in respect
of covered bonds issued by the Bank. These assets were sold by the
Bank to a VIE which is consolidated by the Bank. A discussion on the
structure of this VIE and assets held is included in Note 6.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING LIQUIDITY
In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
(“BCBS”) issued a final framework document outlining two new liquid-
ity standards in addition to supplemental reporting metrics applicable
to all internationally active banks. The document prescribes the Liquidity
Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (“NSFR”) as mini-
mum regulatory standards effective January 1, 2015 & January 1, 2018
respectively. In the intervening period, regulators and banks will work
together conducting quantitative impact studies to assist in evaluating
the impact of these new standards on financial markets and refining
associated calibration factors and/or operational requirements. The
Bank continues to assess the potential impacts and effects upon its
liquidity risk management framework across all relevant and affected
reporting business segments, until such time as the LCR standard is fully
defined by mid-2013. The structure of TD Bank’s “Severe Combined
Stress” scenario exhibits similarity with the severe shock used as the
basis to calibrate the BCBS’ LCR standard.
Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed
internal processes, people and systems or from external events.
Operating a complex financial institution exposes our businesses to a
broad range of operational risks, including failed transaction processing
and documentation errors, fiduciary and information breaches, tech-
nology failures, business disruption, theft and fraud, workplace injury
and damage to physical assets as a result of internal or outsourced
business activities. The impact can result in significant financial loss,
reputational harm or regulatory censure and penalties.
Operational risk is embedded in all our business activities including
the practices for managing other risks such as credit, market and
liquidity risk. We must manage operational risk so that we can create
and sustain shareholder value, successfully execute our business strate-
gies, operate efficiently and provide reliable, secure and convenient
access to financial services. We maintain a formal enterprise-wide
operational risk management framework that emphasizes a strong
risk management and internal control culture throughout TD.
Under Basel II, we use the Standardized Approach to operational
risk regulatory capital. Work is underway to build upon TD’s opera-
tional risk management framework to meet the requirements of the
Advanced Measurement Approach for operational risk, and to proceed
towards implementation.
WHO MANAGES OPERATIONAL RISK
Operational Risk Management is an independent function that designs
and maintains our overall operational risk management framework.
This framework sets out the enterprise-wide governance processes,
policies and practices to identify, assess, report, mitigate and control
operational risk. Risk Management ensures that there is appropriate
monitoring and reporting of our operational risk exposures to senior
management via the Operational Risk Oversight Committee, the ERMC
and the Risk Committee of the Board.
We also maintain specialist groups who manage specific operational
risk exposures that require dedicated mitigation and control activities.
These areas are responsible for setting policies for the entire enterprise
and maintaining appropriate oversight in specialized areas such as busi-
ness continuity, outsourcing management, financial crime, project change
management, technology risk management, and information security.
The senior management of individual business units is responsible
for the day-to-day management of operational risk following our
established operational risk management policies. Within each business
unit and corporate area, an independent risk management function
uses the elements of the operational risk management framework
according to the nature and scope of the operational risks the area is
exposed to. The senior executives in each business unit participate in
a Risk Management Committee that oversees operational risk manage-
ment issues and initiatives.
74
HOW WE MANAGE OPERATIONAL RISK
Our operational risk management framework is designed to ensure
that our operational risk exposures are proactively managed and
controlled to acceptable levels consistent with TD’s risk appetite. The
framework incorporates industry best practices and meets regulatory
guidelines. Key components of the framework include:
Governance and Policy
Management reporting and organizational structures emphasize
accountability, ownership and effective oversight of each business
unit’s and each corporate area’s operational risk exposures. In addi-
tion, the Risk Committee of the Board’s and senior management’s
expectations for managing operational risk are set out by enterprise-
wide policies and practices.
Risk and Control Self-Assessment
Internal control is one of the primary lines of defence in safeguarding
our employees, customers, assets and information, and in preventing
and detecting errors and fraud. Annually, management undertakes
comprehensive assessments of their key risk exposures and the internal
controls in place to reduce or offset these risks. Senior management
reviews the results of these evaluations to ensure that our risk manage-
ment and internal controls are effective, appropriate and comply
with our policies.
Operational Risk Event Monitoring
In order to reduce our exposure to future loss, it is critical that we
remain aware of our own as well as industry risks and respond appro-
priately. Our policies and processes require that operational risk events
be identified, tracked and reported to the right level of management
to ensure that we analyze and manage them appropriately and take
suitable corrective and preventative action. We also review, analyze
and benchmark TD against industry operational risk losses that have
occurred at other financial institutions using information acquired
through recognized industry data providers.
Risk Reporting
Risk Management, in partnership with senior management, regularly
reports on risk-related measures and the status of risk throughout TD
to the senior business management and the Risk Committee of the
Board. Operational risk measures are systematically tracked, assessed
and reported to ensure management accountability and attention is
maintained over current and emerging issues.
Insurance
To provide TD with additional protection from loss, Risk Management
actively manages a comprehensive portfolio of business insurance and
other risk mitigating arrangements. The type and level of insurance
coverage is continually assessed to ensure that both our tolerance for
risk and statutory requirements are met. This includes conducting
regular in-depth risk and financial analysis and identifying opportuni-
ties to transfer our risk to third parties where appropriate.
Technology and Information
Virtually all aspects of our business and operations use technology and
information to create and support new markets, competitive products
and delivery channels, and other business developments. The key risks
are associated with the operational availability, integrity, confidential-
ity, and security of our information, systems and infrastructure. These
risks are actively managed through enterprise-wide technology risk
and information security management programs using industry best
practices and our operational risk management framework. These
programs include robust threat and vulnerability assessments, as well
as security and disciplined change management practices.
Business Continuity Management
During incidents that could disrupt our business and operations, Business
Continuity Management supports the ability of senior management to
continue to manage and operate their businesses, and provide customers
access to products and services. Our robust enterprise-wide business
continuity management program includes formal crisis management
protocols and continuity strategies. All areas of TD are required to main-
tain and regularly test business continuity plans designed to respond to
a broad range of potential scenarios.
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Outsourcing Management
Outsourcing is any arrangement where an external supplier performs
a business activity, function or process on our behalf. The benefits of
outsourcing business activities include access to leading technology,
specialized expertise, economies of scale and operational efficiencies.
While these arrangements bring benefits to our businesses and custom-
ers, we also need to manage and minimize any risks related to the activity.
We do this through an enterprise-level outsourcing risk management
program that guides outsourcing activities and ensures the level of risk
management and senior management oversight is appropriate to the
size and importance of the outsourcing arrangement.
Project Management
We have established a disciplined project management program of
processes and supervisory mechanisms to ensure projects are success-
fully implemented in a planned and systematic manner and are moni-
tored by senior management. Our Enterprise Program Management
Office maintains project management standards that are continually
benchmarked against leading industry practices.
Financial Crime
Safeguarding our customers, employees, assets, information and
preventing and detecting fraud and other forms of financial crime
are very important to us. To do this, we maintain extensive security
systems, protocols and practices to detect and prevent financial crime.
This includes regular employee training to ensure compliance with
crime prevention policies and practices.
Insurance Risk
Insurance risk is the risk of loss due to actual insurance claims exceed-
ing the insurance claims expected in product pricing. Insurance risk
is further divided into underwriting risk and claims risk. Underwriting
risk is defined as the risk of financial loss resulting from inappropriate
product design and the selection and pricing of risks to be insured.
Claims risk is defined as the risk of loss due to unforeseen increases
in the size and frequency of claims and time-to-payment expenses.
Insurance by nature involves the distribution of products that trans-
fer individual risks to the issuer with the expectation of a return built
into the insurance premiums earned. We are exposed to insurance risk
in our property and casualty insurance business, and in our life and
health insurance and reinsurance businesses.
WHO MANAGES INSURANCE RISK
Senior management within the insurance business units has primary
responsibility for managing insurance risk with oversight by the Chief
Risk Officer for Insurance who reports into Risk Management. The
Audit Committee of the Board acts as the Audit and Conduct Review
Committee for the Canadian Insurance company subsidiaries. The
Insurance company subsidiaries also have their own boards of direc-
tors, as well as independent appointed actuaries who provide addi-
tional risk management oversight.
HOW WE MANAGE INSURANCE RISK
We maintain a number of policies and practices to manage insurance
risk. Sound product design is an essential element. The vast majority of
risks insured are short-term in nature, that is, they do not involve long-
term pricing guarantees. Geographic diversification and product-line
diversification are important elements as well. Reinsurance protection
is purchased to further reduce exposure to fluctuations in claims, nota-
bly the exposure to natural catastrophes in the property and casualty
insurance business. We also manage risk through effective underwrit-
ing and claim adjudication practices, ongoing monitoring of experi-
ence, and stress-testing scenario analysis.
Regulatory and Legal Risk
Regulatory and Legal risk is the risk of non-compliance with laws,
rules, regulations, obligatory practices or standards, contractual
agreements, or other legal requirements, including the effectiveness
of preventing and handling litigation.
Financial services is one of the most closely regulated industries,
and the management of a financial services business such as ours is
expected to meet high standards in all business dealings and transac-
tions. As a result, we are exposed to regulatory and legal risk in virtually
all of our activities. Failure to meet regulatory and legal requirements
not only poses a risk of censure or penalty, and may lead to litigation,
but also puts our reputation at risk. Financial penalties, unfavourable
judicial or regulatory judgments and other costs associated with legal
proceedings may also adversely affect the earnings of TD.
Regulatory and legal risk differs from other banking risks, such
as credit risk or market risk, in that it is typically not a risk actively
or deliberately assumed by management in expectation of a return.
It occurs as part of the normal course of operating our businesses.
WHO MANAGES REGULATORY AND LEGAL RISK
Business units and corporate areas are responsible for managing
day-to-day regulatory and legal risk, while the Legal and Corporate
Compliance Department and Regulatory & Government Affairs
Department assist them by providing advice and oversight.
The Corporate Compliance Department and Regulatory & Government
Affairs Department identifies and monitors significant regulatory risk
across our organization, and is responsible for ensuring that key day-to-
day business controls comply with applicable legislation.
Internal and external Legal counsel also works closely with the busi-
ness units and corporate functions to identify areas of potential regula-
tory and legal risk, and actively manage them to reduce TD’s exposure.
HOW WE MANAGE REGULATORY AND LEGAL RISK
Our Code of Conduct and Ethics helps set the “tone at the top” for
a culture of integrity within our organization. The Code stipulates that
every business decision and action on TD’s behalf must be assessed in
light of what is right, legal and fair. All directors, officers and employ-
ees are required to attest annually that they understand the Code and
have complied with its provisions.
Business units and corporate areas manage day-to-day regulatory and
legal risk primarily by implementing appropriate policies, procedures
and controls. The Legal and Corporate Compliance and Regulatory &
Government Affairs Departments, in certain circumstances, assist them by:
• Communicating and advising on regulatory and legal requirements
and emerging compliance risks to each business unit as required.
• Implementing or assisting with policies, procedures and training.
• Independently monitoring and testing for adherence to certain
regulatory and legal requirements, as well as the effectiveness of
associated key internal controls.
• Tracking, escalating and reporting significant issues and findings
to senior management and the Board.
• Liaising with regulators, as appropriate, regarding new or revised
legislation, or regulatory guidance or regulatory examinations.
Additionally, the Legislative Compliance Management Program (LCM),
run by the Corporate Compliance Department assesses legislative
requirements and associated key controls across the organization,
using a risk-based approach. Where any gaps are identified, action
plans are implemented and are tracked to completion. The Chief
Compliance Officer provides an annual LCM report to the Audit
Committee of the Board stating the results of the annual process
and setting out an opinion on the strength of the LCM framework
and regulatory risk management at TD.
Finally, while it is not possible to completely eliminate legal risk,
the Legal Department also works closely with business units and other
corporate areas to draft and negotiate legal agreements to manage
those risks, to provide advice on the performance of legal obligations
under agreements and applicable legislation, and to manage litigation
to which TD or its subsidiaries are a party.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Reputational Risk
Reputational risk is the potential that negative stakeholder impressions,
whether true or not, regarding an institution’s business practices,
actions or inactions, will or may cause a decline in the institution’s
value, brand, liquidity or customer base.
A company’s reputation is a valuable business asset in its own right,
essential to optimizing shareholder value and, as such, is constantly at
risk. Reputational risk can arise as a consequence of any organization’s
activities and cannot be managed in isolation from other forms of risk.
All risks can have an impact on reputation, which in turn can impact
the brand, earnings and capital.
WHO MANAGES REPUTATIONAL RISK
Ultimate responsibility for TD’s reputation lies with the SET and the
executive committees that examine reputational risk as part of their
regular mandate. The Reputational Risk Committee is the executive
committee with enterprise-wide responsibility for making decisions on
reputational risks. The Committee’s purpose is to ensure that new and
existing business activities, transactions, products or sales practices
that are referred to it are reviewed at a sufficiently broad and senior
level so that the associated reputational risk issues are fully considered.
Nonetheless, every employee and representative of our organization
has a responsibility to contribute in a positive way to our reputation.
This means ensuring ethical practices are followed at all times, interac-
tions with our stakeholders are positive, and we comply with applicable
policies, legislation and regulations. Reputational risk is most effectively
managed when every individual works continuously to protect and
enhance our reputation.
HOW WE MANAGE REPUTATIONAL RISK
Our enterprise-wide Reputational Risk Management Policy is approved
by the Risk Committee of the Board. This policy sets out the framework
under which each business unit is required to implement a reputational
risk policy and procedures. These include designating a business-level
committee to review reputational risk issues and to identify issues to
be brought to the Reputational Risk Committee.
We also have defined and documented processes to approve new
products and new business, particularly structured transactions in our
Wholesale business. These processes involve committees with represen-
tation from the businesses and control functions, and include consider-
ation of all aspects of a new product, including reputational risk.
Environmental Risk
Environmental risk is the possibility of loss of strategic, financial, opera-
tional or reputational value resulting from the impact of environmental
issues or concerns within the scope of short-term and long-term cycles.
Management of environmental risk is an enterprise-wide priority.
Key environmental risks include: 1) direct risks associated with the
ownership and operation of our business, which includes management
and operation of company-owned or managed real estate, fleet, busi-
ness operations and associated services; 2) indirect risks associated
with the environmental performance of clients to whom TD provides
financing or in which TD invests; 3) identification and management of
emerging environmental regulatory issues; and 4) failure to understand
and appropriately leverage environment-related trends to meet
customer and consumer demands for products and services.
WHO MANAGES ENVIRONMENTAL RISK
The Executive Vice President Community, Environment and Chief
Marketing Officer holds senior executive accountability for environ-
mental management. The Executive Vice President is supported by the
Chief Environment Officer who leads the Corporate Environmental
Affairs team. The Corporate Environmental Affairs team is responsible
for developing environmental strategy, setting environmental perfor-
mance standards and targets, and reporting on performance. There
is also an enterprise-wide Environmental Steering Committee (ESC)
composed of senior executives from TD’s main business units and
corporate functions. The ESC is responsible for approving environmental
strategy and performance standards, and communicating these
throughout the business. TD’s business units are responsible for
implementing the environmental strategy within their units.
76
HOW WE MANAGE ENVIRONMENTAL RISK
We manage environmental risks within the Environmental Management
System (EMS) which consists of three components: an Environmental
Policy, an Environmental Management Framework and Environmental
Procedures and Processes. In 2011, we updated our EMS to be consis-
tent with the ISO 14001 international standard, which represents indus-
try best practice. Our Environmental Policy was updated to reflect the
global scope of TD’s environmental activities.
Within our Environmental Management Framework, we have identi-
fied a number of priority areas and have made voluntary commitments
relating to these.
Our environmental performance is publicly reported within our annual
Corporate Responsibility Report. Performance is reported according to the
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and is independently assured.
TD’s global operations maintained carbon neutral status in 2011.
We accomplished this by reducing our energy use and purchasing
electricity from renewable energy sources. We continued to develop
innovative carbon offsets, sourced from within our North American
operating footprint.
During 2011, TD completed the roll out of updated Environmental
and Social Credit Risk Management Procedures applied to credit and
lending in the wholesale, commercial and retail businesses. These
procedures include assessment of our clients’ policies, procedures and
performance on material environmental and related social issues, such
as climate risk, biodiversity, water risk, stakeholder engagement, free,
prior and informed consent of Aboriginal peoples. Within Wholesale
Banking, sector-specific guidelines have been developed for environ-
mentally-sensitive sectors. TD has been a signatory to the Equator
Principles since 2007 and reports on Equator Principle projects within
our annual Corporate Responsibility Report.
TD Asset Management (TDAM) is a signatory to the United Nations
Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI). Under the UN PRI,
investors commit to incorporate environmental and social issues into
investment analysis and decision-making. TDAM applies its Sustainable
Investing Policy across its operations. The Policy provides information
on how TDAM is implementing the UN PRI.
We proactively monitor and assess policy and legislative develop-
ments, and maintain an ‘open door’ approach with environmental
and community organizations, industry associations and responsible
investment organizations.
For more information on our environmental policy, management and
performance, please refer to our Corporate Responsibility Report, which
is available at our website: http://www.td.com/corporateresponsibility/.
TD Ameritrade
HOW RISK IS MANAGED AT TD AMERITRADE
TD Ameritrade’s management is primarily responsible for managing
risk at TD Ameritrade under the oversight of TD Ameritrade’s Board
particularly through its Risk Committee and Audit Committee of the
Board. TD monitors the risk management process at TD Ameritrade
through its participation in TD Ameritrade’s board and management
governance and protocols.
Five of the twelve TD Ameritrade directors are designated by TD,
including our CEO and two independent directors of TD, pursuant to
the terms of a Stockholders Agreement among TD, TD Ameritrade and
certain other stockholders. TD Ameritrade’s bylaws, which state that
the Chief Executive Officer’s appointment requires approval of two-
thirds of the Board, ensure the selection of TD Ameritrade’s Chief
Executive Officer attains the broad support of the TD Ameritrade Board
which currently would require the approval of at least one director
designated by TD. The Stockholders Agreement stipulates that the
Board committees of TD Ameritrade must include at least two TD
designated directors, subject to TD’s percentage ownership in TD
Ameritrade and certain other limited exceptions. Currently, the direc-
tors we designate participate in a number of TD Ameritrade Board
committees, including chairing the Audit Committee and the HR and
Compensation Committee and participating in the Risk Committee and
Corporate Governance Committee.
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The terms of the Stockholders Agreement provide for certain infor-
mation sharing rights in favour of TD to the extent TD requires such
information from TD Ameritrade to appropriately manage and evaluate
its investment and to comply with its legal and regulatory obligations.
Accordingly, management processes and protocols are aligned
between TD and TD Ameritrade to coordinate necessary intercompany
information flow. In addition to regular communication at the Chief
Executive Officer level, monthly operating reviews with TD Ameritrade
permit TD to examine and discuss TD Ameritrade’s operating results
and key risks. As well, certain functions, such as Internal Audit, Finance
and Compliance, have relationship protocols that allow for the sharing
of information on risk and control issues. Quarterly reports to our
Audit Committee and Risk Committee include comments on any
significant internal audit issues at TD Ameritrade; and risk issues are
reported up to our Risk Committee as required, and at least annually.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND POLICIES
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Bank’s accounting policies are essential to understanding its
results of operations and financial condition. A summary of the
Bank’s significant accounting policies is presented in the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Some of the Bank’s policies require
subjective, complex judgments and estimates as they relate to matters
that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these judgments or estimates
could have a significant impact on the Bank’s Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Bank has established procedures to ensure that
accounting policies are applied consistently and that the processes for
changing methodologies are well controlled and occur in an appropri-
ate and systematic manner. In addition, the Bank’s critical accounting
policies are reviewed with the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.
Critical accounting policies that require management’s judgment and
estimates include accounting for loan losses, accounting for the fair
value of financial instruments, accounting for securitizations and vari-
able interest entities, the valuation of goodwill and other intangibles,
accounting for pensions and post-retirement benefits, accounting for
income taxes, and contingent liabilities.
LOAN LOSSES
Accounting for loan losses is an area of importance given the size of
the Bank’s loan portfolio. A loan is considered impaired when there
is objective evidence subsequent to the initial recognition of the loan
that there has been a deterioration of credit quality to the extent that
management no longer has reasonable assurance as to the timely
collection of the full amount of principal and interest. The Bank has
two types of allowances against loan losses – specific and general.
A specific allowance is recorded against loans that are classified as
impaired, which occurs when there is objective evidence of impairment
at the specific loan level. Judgment is required as to the timing of
designating a loan as impaired and the amount of the required specific
allowance. Management exercises judgment as to the amount that
will be recovered once the borrower defaults. Changes in the amount
management expects to recover can have a direct impact on the provi-
sion for credit losses and may result in a change in the allowance.
Changes in the specific allowance, if any, would primarily impact the
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, the U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking, and the Wholesale Banking segments.
The general allowance captures the credit losses in circumstances
where the loss event is considered to have occurred, but for which
there is not yet objective evidence of impairment at the specific loan
level. In establishing the general allowance, the Bank refers to inter-
nally developed models that utilize parameters for probability of
default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD).
Using these models the probable range of general allowance levels is
calculated. Management’s judgment is used to determine the point
within the range that is the best estimate of losses, based on an
assessment of business and economic conditions, historical loss experi-
ence, loan portfolio composition, and other relevant indicators that are
not fully incorporated into the model calculation. If the wholesale and
commercial parameters were independently increased or decreased by
10%, then the model would indicate an increase or decrease to the
mean of the range in the amount or $24.8 million for PD, $24.8 million
for LGD, and $81.6 million for EAD, respectively. Changes in the
general allowance, if any, would primarily impact the Corporate
and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segments.
The “Managing Risk – Credit Risk” section of this MD&A provides
a more detailed discussion regarding credit risk. Also, see Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements and the “Credit Portfolio Quality”
section of this MD&A for additional disclosures regarding the Bank’s
allowance for credit losses.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of financial instrument is based on quoted prices in
active markets, where available, adjusted for daily margin settlements,
where applicable. Where there is no active market for the instrument,
fair value may be based on other observable current market transac-
tions involving the same instrument, without modification or repackag-
ing, or is based on a valuation technique which maximizes the use of
observable market inputs. Observable market inputs include interest
rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, and option volatilities.
Valuation techniques include comparisons with similar instruments
where market observable prices exist, discounted cash flow analysis,
option pricing models, and other valuation techniques commonly used
by market participants. For certain complex or illiquid financial instru-
ments, fair values may be determined in whole or in part using valua-
tion techniques, such as internally developed valuation models, which
may incorporate non-observable market inputs.
Inputs estimated are subject to management’s judgment. For
example, certain credit products are valued using models with non-
observable inputs such as correlation and recovery rates. Uncertainty
in estimating the inputs can impact the amount of revenue or loss
recorded for a particular position. Management’s judgment is also
used in recording fair value adjustments to model valuations to
account for measurement uncertainty when valuing complex and
less actively traded financial instruments. Valuation adjustments are
described further in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Bank has controls in place to ensure that the valuations derived
from the models and inputs are appropriate. These include indepen-
dent review and approval of valuation models and inputs, and inde-
pendent review of the valuations by qualified personnel. If the market
for complex financial instrument products develops, the pricing for
these products may become more transparent, resulting in refinement
of valuation models. For a discussion of market risk, refer to the
“Managing Risk – Market Risk” section of this MD&A. As described in
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for financial instru-
ments whose fair value is estimated using valuation techniques based
on non-observable market inputs that are significant to the overall
valuation, the difference between the best estimate of fair value at
initial recognition represented by the transaction price, and the fair
value determined using the valuation technique, is recognized in
income as the non-observable inputs become observable. Note 2 also
summarizes the difference between the transaction price and amount
determined at inception using valuation techniques with significant
non-observable market inputs.
The process for obtaining multiple quotes of external market prices,
consistent application of models over a period of time, and the controls
and processes described above, support the reasonability of the valua-
tion models. The valuations are also validated by past experience and
through actual cash settlement under the contract terms.
77
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Valuation of private equity investments requires management’s
judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices, inherent lack
of liquidity, and the longer-term nature of such investments. Private
equity investments are recorded at cost and are compared with fair
value on a periodic basis to evaluate whether an impairment in value
has occurred that is other than temporary in nature. Fair value is deter-
mined using valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows and
a multiple of earnings before taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
Management applies judgment in the selection of the valuation meth-
odology and the various inputs to the calculation, which may vary from
one reporting period to another. These estimates are monitored and
reviewed on a regular basis by management for consistency and
reasonableness. Any imprecision in these estimates can affect the
resulting fair value. The inherent nature of private equity investing is
that management’s valuation will change over time as the underlying
investment matures and an exit strategy is developed and realized.
Estimates of fair value may also fluctuate due to developments in the
business underlying the investment. Such fluctuations may be signifi-
cant depending on the nature of the factors going into the valuation
methodology and the extent of change in those factors.
Available-for-sale securities are written down to their fair value
through the Consolidated Statement of Income when there is impair-
ment in value that is considered to be other than temporary in nature.
The determination of whether or not other than temporary impairment
exists is a matter of judgment. We review these securities regularly
for possible impairment that is other than temporary and this review
typically includes an analysis of the facts and circumstances of each
investment and the expectations for that investment’s performance.
Impairment of the value of an investment may be indicated by the
presence of conditions which should be examined collectively. For
equity securities, some of these conditions are prolonged periods
during which the fair value of the investment is significantly less than
its carrying value, significant financial difficulty of the issuer, severe
losses by the investee in the current year or current and prior years,
continued losses by the investee for a period of years, suspension of
trading in the securities, a downgrade of an entity’s credit rating, or
liquidity or going concern problems of the investee.
Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are considered impaired
when there is uncertainty concerning the collectability of interest and
principal. Accordingly, professional judgment is required in assessing
whether a decline in fair value is the result of a general reduction in
market liquidity, change in interest rates or due to collectability issues
with respect to the expected cash flows over the life of the debt security.
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
disclosures regarding the Bank’s significant financial assets and finan-
cial liabilities carried at fair value by valuation methodology, and a
discussion of the potential effect of using reasonable possible alterna-
tive assumptions on the value of financial instruments valued using
significant non-observable inputs. All of the Bank’s segments are
impacted by this accounting policy.
The Bank recognizes interest income and expense using the effec-
tive interest rate method for financial instruments that are accounted
for at amortized cost and for those that are classified as available-for-
sale. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts the estimated
future cash flows over the expected life of the financial instrument
resulting in recognition of interest income and expense on a constant
yield basis.
SECURITIZATIONS AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
There are two key determinations relating to accounting for securiti-
zations. The first key determination is in regard to bank-originated
securitized assets. A decision must be made as to whether the securiti-
zation should be considered a sale under GAAP. GAAP requires that
specific criteria be met in order for the Bank to have surrendered
control of the assets and thus be able to recognize a gain or loss on
sale. For instance, the securitized assets must be isolated from the
Bank and placed beyond the reach of the Bank and its creditors, even
in the case of bankruptcy or receivership.
78
In determining the gain or loss on sale, management estimates
future cash flows by relying on estimates of the amount of interest
that will be collected on the securitized assets, the yield to be paid
to investors, the portion of the securitized assets that will be prepaid
before their scheduled maturity, expected credit losses, the cost of
servicing the assets and the rate at which to discount these expected
future cash flows. Actual cash flows may differ significantly from those
estimated by management. If actual cash flows are different from our
estimate of future cash flows then the gains or losses on the securitiza-
tion recognized in income will be adjusted. Retained interests are
classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet (retained interests related to automobile
loans are classified as AFS debt securities). Note 5 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements provide additional disclosures regarding securiti-
zations, including a sensitivity analysis for key assumptions. For 2011,
there were no significant changes to the key assumptions used in
estimating the future cash flows. These assumptions are subject to
periodic review and may change due to significant changes in the
economic environment.
The second key determination is whether a VIE should be consoli-
dated. The Bank holds interests in a number of VIEs, including all of
the Bank’s securitization trusts that are considered to be VIEs. Current
GAAP requires consolidation of a VIE only when the Bank is the
primary beneficiary, and exposed to a majority of the VIE’s expected
losses or entitled to a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns.
In addition, if the VIE is a QSPE, a conclusion which requires judgment,
then the Bank does not consolidate the VIE. Management uses judg-
ment to estimate the expected losses and expected residual returns to
determine if the Bank retains substantially all of the residual risk and
rewards of the VIE.
Under current GAAP, all of the Bank-originated assets transferred
to VIEs meet the criteria for sale treatment and non-consolidation. All
of the Bank’s segments are impacted by this accounting policy.
VALUATION OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Goodwill is not subject to amortization. Instead, it is tested for
impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis unless certain
criteria are met in compliance with GAAP and if an event or change
in circumstances occurs that indicates that the carrying value of the
reporting unit might exceed its fair value. The first step of goodwill
impairment testing involves determining whether the fair value of the
reporting unit to which the goodwill is associated is less than its carry-
ing value. Where fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying
value, goodwill of that reporting unit is considered not to be impaired.
When the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value,
a second step is required and the fair value of the goodwill in that
reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of
goodwill is less than its carrying value, goodwill is considered to be
impaired and a charge for impairment representing the excess of carry-
ing value over fair value of the goodwill is recognized immediately in
the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The fair value of the Bank’s reporting units are determined from
internally developed valuation models that consider various factors and
assumptions such as forecasted earnings, growth rates, price earnings
multiples, discount rates, and terminal multiples. Management is
required to use judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units
and the use of different assumptions and estimates in the fair value
calculations could influence the determination of the existence of
impairment and the valuation of goodwill. Management believes that
the assumptions and estimates used are reasonable and supportable.
Where possible, fair values generated internally are compared to rele-
vant market information. The carrying values of the Bank’s reporting
units are determined by management using economic capital models to
adjust net assets and liabilities by reporting unit. These models consider
various factors including market risk, credit risk, and operational risk,
and are designed to produce the equity capital a reporting unit would
have if it was a stand-alone entity. The Capital Management Committee
reviews the Bank’s allocation of economic capital to the reporting units.
The Bank’s 2011 goodwill testing concludes that the goodwill in
each reporting unit is considered not to be impaired. Additionally,
none of the Bank’s reporting units are at risk of failing the first step
of goodwill impairment testing.
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Other intangible assets with an indefinite life are not subject to
amortization; rather, they should be assessed annually for impairment.
As at October 31, 2011, the Bank does not have any indefinite life
intangibles. Finite life intangible assets that are subject to amortiza-
tion, after initial recognition, are amortized over their estimated useful
life. Finite life intangible assets are assessed for impairment when an
event or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be
impaired. Determining the estimated useful life and the identification
of any events or changes in circumstances affecting the recoverability
of carrying value of these finite life intangible assets requires an analy-
sis of facts and management’s judgment. When events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable
and the carrying value is higher than the sum of undiscounted cash
flows expected from the asset’s use and eventual disposition, the asset
is written down to its fair value.
This accounting policy impacts all of the Bank’s business segments.
See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
disclosures regarding goodwill and other intangibles.
EMPLOYEE FUTURE BENEFITS
Pension and other post employment benefit plan obligations and
expenses are dependent on the assumptions used in calculating these
amounts. The actuarial assumptions of expected long-term return on
plan assets, compensation increases, health care cost trend rate and
discount rate are management’s best estimates and are reviewed annu-
ally with the Bank’s actuaries. The Bank develops each assumption
using relevant experience in conjunction with market related data and
considers if there is any prolonged or significant impact on the assump-
tions. The discount rate used to value liabilities is based on long-term
corporate AA bond yields as at the measurement date. The expected
long term return on plan assets is based on historical returns and future
expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target
asset allocation of the fund. The other assumptions are also long-term
estimates. All assumptions are subject to a degree of uncertainty.
Differences between actual experience and the assumptions, as well
as changes in the assumptions resulting from changes in future expec-
tations, result in increases or decreases in the pension and other post
employment benefit plan obligations and expenses in future years.
All of the Bank’s segments are impacted by this accounting policy.
The following table provides the sensitivity of the projected benefit
obligation and the expense for the Bank’s principal pension plans to
changes in the discount rate and assumptions for expected long-term
return on plan assets and compensation increases. The sensitivity
analysis provided in the table is hypothetical and should be used with
caution. For a further discussion of the key assumptions used in deter-
mining the Bank’s projected benefit obligation and annual expense see
Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

INCOME TAXES
We are subject to taxation in numerous jurisdictions. There are many
transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination
is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. We maintain provi-
sions for uncertain tax positions that we believe appropriately reflect
our risk with respect to tax positions under discussion, audit, dispute,
or appeal with tax authorities, or which are otherwise considered to
involve uncertainty. These provisions are made using the best estimate
of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment
of all relevant factors. We assess the adequacy of these provisions at
the end of each reporting period. However, it is possible that at some
future date, an additional liability could result from audits by the rele-
vant taxing authorities. Provisions are reversed to income in the period
in which management assesses they are no longer required or as deter-
mined by statute.
Future income taxes are recorded to account for the effects of future
taxes on transactions occurring in the current period. The accounting
for future income taxes impacts all of the Bank’s segments and requires
judgment in the following key situations:
• Future tax assets are assessed for recoverability. The Bank records a
valuation allowance when it believes, based on all available evidence,
that it is more likely than not that all of the future tax assets recog-
nized will not be realized before their expiration. The amount of the
future income tax asset recognized and considered realizable could,
however, be reduced if projected income is not achieved due to vari-
ous factors, such as unfavourable business conditions. If projected
income is not expected to be achieved, the Bank would record an
additional valuation allowance to reduce its future tax assets to the
amount that it believes can be realized. The magnitude of the valua-
tion allowance is significantly influenced by the Bank’s forecast of
future profit generation, which determines the extent to which it will
be able to utilize the future tax assets.
• Future tax assets are calculated based on tax rates expected to be in
effect in the period in which they will be realized. Previously recorded
tax assets and liabilities need to be adjusted when the expected date
of the future event is revised based on current information.
• The Bank has not recognized a future income tax liability for undis-
tributed earnings of certain operations as it does not plan to repa-
triate them. Estimated taxes payable on such earnings in the event
of repatriation would be $494 million at October 31, 2011.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Contingent liabilities arise when there is some uncertainty whether,
as a result of a past event or transaction, the Bank will incur a loss in
the future. The Bank and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal
actions in the ordinary course of business, many of which are loan-
related. In management’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of these
actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition of the Bank.
Contingent loss accruals are established when it becomes likely that
the Bank will incur an expense and the amount can be reasonably esti-
mated. In addition to the Bank’s management, for contingent litigation
loss accruals, internal and external experts are involved in assessing the
likelihood and in estimating any amounts involved. Throughout the
existence of a contingency, the Bank’s management or its experts may
learn of additional information that may impact its assessments about
probability or about the estimates of amounts involved. Changes in
these assessments may lead to changes in recorded loss accruals. In
addition, the actual costs of resolving these claims may be substantially
higher or lower than the amounts accrued for those claims.
See Note 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
more details.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND POLICIES
Future Accounting and
Reporting Changes
The Bank expects to adopt the following accounting standards in the
future. See Note 1 to the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements for
more details of future accounting and reporting changes.
Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards
in Fiscal 2012
The Bank is transitioning from Canadian GAAP to International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), effective for interim and annual
periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Refer to Note 34
of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Bank’s IFRS opening
Consolidated Balance Sheet as at November 1, 2010 (IFRS opening
Consolidated Balance Sheet) and related disclosures including a
summary of the Bank’s first-time adoption transition elections under
IFRS 1 and other significant differences between Canadian GAAP and
IFRS. These disclosures form the starting point for TD’s financial report-
ing under IFRS and have been provided to allow users of the financial
statements to obtain a better understanding of the expected effect
on the Consolidated Financial Statements as a result of the adoption
of IFRS. The interim and annual fiscal 2012 Consolidated Financial
Statements will also include fiscal 2011 comparatives, related transi-
tional reconciliations and accompanying note disclosures.
IFRS uses a conceptual framework similar to Canadian GAAP;
however, certain differences exist related to items such as recognition,
measurement, and disclosure, certain of which may have a significant
impact on the Bank’s accounting policies. The Bank is finalizing its
assessment of the full impact of its transition to IFRS as further
discussed below.
IFRS Transition Program Summary
To manage the transition to IFRS, the Bank implemented a compre-
hensive, enterprise-wide program supported by a formal governance
framework. The key elements of the IFRS transition program include
developing a project governance framework, updating accounting
policies, preparing financial statements, building financial reporting
expertise, identifying impact on business processes and information
technology, implementing internal controls over financial reporting
(ICFR), and implementing appropriate disclosure controls and proce-
dures (DC&P), including investor relations and communication plans.
The Bank’s implementation plan consists of the following phases:
(i) Program Initiation and Planning; (ii) Detailed Assessment;
(iii) Design and Solution Development; and (iv) Implementation.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS First-Time Adoption of IFRS
Accounting changes resulting from the transition to IFRS will generally
be reflected in the Bank’s IFRS opening Consolidated Balance Sheet
on a retrospective basis. Where transition has been accounted for on
a retrospective basis, the IFRS opening Consolidated Balance Sheet has
been presented as if IFRS had always been applied and adjustments
for any differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS impacting IFRS
opening retained earnings. Initial elections upon adoption of IFRS (IFRS
1) specify certain mandatory exceptions to the retrospective application
of certain standards, and permit exemption options for certain other
standards. For the Bank, there are significant exemption options avail-
able in the areas of accounting for the following: (i) Employee Future
Benefits, (ii) Business Combinations, (iii) Designation of Financial
Instruments, and (iv) Currency Translation. The application of certain
of these exemptions will have an impact on the Bank’s IFRS opening
retained earnings and may also impact accounting in periods subse-
quent to transition to IFRS. These exemptions, coupled with certain
other elections will also have an impact on the Bank’s regulatory
capital. However, OSFI has issued guidance which permits the Bank to
phase in the impact of IFRS on Tier 1 capital over a five-quarter period
beginning in first quarter of fiscal 2012.
Please refer to Note 34 of the accompanying Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for the opening Consolidated
Balance Sheet and related information.
Other Developments to IFRS
The IASB has issued revised standards on Consolidation, Employee
Future Benefits, Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income, Fair
Value Measurement, Joint Arrangements and Disclosures of Interests
in Other Entities. The Bank is assessing the impact of these changes
as the adoption of these changes is not mandatory until after the
Bank’s transition to IFRS.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND POLICIES
Controls and Procedures
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the partici-
pation of the Bank’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Bank’s disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in the rules of the SEC and Canadian
Securities Administrators, as of October 31, 2011. Based on that evalua-
tion, the Bank’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Bank’s disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of October 31, 2011.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Bank’s management is responsible for establishing and maintain-
ing adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Bank. The
Bank’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records, that,
in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of the assets of the Bank; (2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Bank are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of the Bank’s manage-
ment and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of the Bank’s assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.
The IASB is also in the process of considering significant changes to
accounting guidance related to financial instruments, hedge account-
ing and other financial instruments topics such as impairment of finan-
cial assets and offsetting. These changes will not be mandatory for the
Bank until the fiscal year beginning November 1, 2015. A new stan-
dard dealing with classification and measurement of financial assets
has already been released by the IASB. However, this new standard
will not be adopted by the Bank until the mandatory effective date.
Finally, the IASB continues to make changes to IFRS to improve the
overall quality of financial reporting including a number of important
ongoing standard setting projects. These projects will address such
matters as accounting for leases, revenue recognition, insurance
contracts, among other items.
The Bank actively monitors all of the IASB’s projects that are
relevant to the Bank’s financial reporting and accounting policies
and adjusts its IFRS project plan accordingly.
U.S. GAAP
For the future accounting changes related to U.S. GAAP, please see the
Reconciliation of Canadian and U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles contained in the Bank’s annual report on Form 40-F for fiscal
2011 filed with the U.S. SEC and available on the Bank’s website
at http://www.td.com/investor/index.jsp and at the SEC’s website
(http://www.sec.gov).
The Bank’s management has used the criteria established in Internal
Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission to assess, with the participa-
tion of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effec-
tiveness of the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on
this assessment management has concluded that as at October 31, 2011,
the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on
the applicable criteria. The effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control
over financial reporting has been audited by the independent auditors,
Ernst & Young LLP, a registered public accounting firm that has also
audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bank as of and for
the year ended October 31, 2011. Their Report on Internal Controls under
Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), included in the Consolidated Financial Statements expresses an
unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control
over financial reporting as of October 31, 2011.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
During the year and quarter ended October 31, 2011, there have been
no changes in the Bank’s policies and procedures and other processes
that comprise its internal control over financial reporting, that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL RESULTS
Consolidated Financial Statements
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The management of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries
(the “Bank”) is responsible for the integrity, consistency, objectivity
and reliability of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bank
and related financial information as presented. Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles as well as the requirements of the Bank
Act and related regulations have been applied and management has
exercised its judgment and made best estimates where appropriate.
The Bank’s accounting system and related internal controls are
designed, and supporting procedures maintained, to provide reason-
able assurance that financial records are complete and accurate and
that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or
disposition. These supporting procedures include the careful selection
and training of qualified staff, the establishment of organizational
structures providing a well-defined division of responsibilities and
accountability for performance, and the communication of policies
and guidelines of business conduct throughout the Bank.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal
control over financial reporting as at October 31, 2011 using the
framework found in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based upon this assessment, management has concluded
that as at October 31, 2011, the Bank’s internal control over financial
reporting is effective.
The Bank’s Board of Directors, acting through the Audit Committee
reviews the Consolidated Financial Statements and recommends them
to the Board for approval. Other responsibilities of the Audit Committee
include monitoring the Bank’s system of internal controls over the
financial reporting process and making recommendations to the Board
and shareholders regarding the appointment of the external auditor.
The Bank’s Chief Auditor, who has full and free access to the Audit
Committee, conducts an extensive program of audits. This program
supports the system of internal control and is carried out by a profes-
sional staff of auditors.
The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, Canada,
makes such examination and enquiry into the affairs of the Bank
as deemed necessary to ensure that the provisions of the Bank Act,
having reference to the safety of the depositors, are being duly
observed and that the Bank is in sound financial condition.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent auditors appointed by the
shareholders of the Bank, have audited the effectiveness of the Bank’s
internal control over financial reporting as at October 31, 2011 in
addition to auditing the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements
as of the same date. Their reports, which expressed an unqualified
opinion, can be found on the following pages of the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Ernst & Young have full and free access to,
and meet periodically with, the Audit Committee to discuss their
audit and matters arising there from, such as, comments they may
have on the fairness of financial reporting and the adequacy of
internal controls.

Report on Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements
of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, which comprise the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as at October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the Consolidated
Statements of Income, Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, Comprehensive
Income and Cash Flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended October 31, 2011, and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Management’s responsibility for the consolidated
financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of
these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian
generally accepted accounting principles, and for such internal control
as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstate-
ment, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated finan-
cial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accor-
dance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical require-
ments and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial state-
ments. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
84
consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes exam-
ining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements, evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Toronto-Dominion
Bank as at October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its opera-
tions and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended October 31, 2011, in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles.
Other matter
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), The Toronto-
Dominion Bank’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31,
2011, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission and our report dated November 30, 2011 expressed
an unqualified opinion on The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s internal control
over financial reporting.

ACCOUTING FIRM TO SHAREHOLDERS
Report on Internal Controls under Standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
We have audited The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s internal control over
financial reporting as of October 31, 2011, based on criteria established
in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO
criteria”). The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s management is responsible
for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on
Internal Control over Financial Reporting contained in the accompanying
Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, United States (“PCAOB”).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit
included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other proce-
dures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted account-
ing principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the main-
tenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detec-
tion of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or proce-
dures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, The Toronto-Dominion Bank maintained, in all mate-
rial respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
October 31, 2011, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted auditing standards and the standards of the PCAOB, the
Consolidated Balance Sheet of The Toronto-Dominion Bank as at Octo-
ber 31, 2011 and 2010 and the Consolidated Statements of Income,
Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, Comprehensive Income and Cash
Flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended October 31,
2011 of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and our report dated November
30, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
N O T E 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and accounting
principles followed by The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries
(the Bank), including the accounting requirements of the Office of the
Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI), conform with
Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Certain disclosures are included in the Management’s Discussion
and Analysis (MD&A) as permitted by GAAP and are discussed in the
Managing Risk section of the 2011 MD&A. These disclosures are
shaded in the 2011 MD&A and form an integral part of the 2011
Consolidated Financial Statements. The 2011 Consolidated Financial
Statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of manage-
ment, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods
presented. Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the presentation adopted in the current year.
The significant accounting policies and practices followed by
the Bank are:
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the assets, liabilities,
results of operations, and cash flows of the Bank and its subsidiaries
and certain variable interest entities (VIEs) after elimination of inter-
company transactions and balances. Subsidiaries are corporations or
other legal entities controlled by the Bank. VIEs are described in
Note 6. The Bank uses the purchase method to account for all
business acquisitions.
When the Bank does not own all of the equity of the subsidiary, the
minority shareholders’ interest is disclosed in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet as non-controlling interest in subsidiaries and the income accru-
ing to the minority interest holders, net of tax, is disclosed as a sepa-
rate line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The proportionate consolidation method is used to account for
investments in which the Bank exercises joint control. Only the Bank’s
specific pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses
is consolidated.
Entities over which the Bank has significant influence are accounted
for using the equity method of accounting. The Bank’s share of earnings,
gains and losses realized on disposition, and write-downs to reflect
other-than-temporary impairment in the value of such entities is reported
in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Bank’s equity share in
TD Ameritrade’s earnings is reported on a one month lag basis.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions based on information
available as at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could
materially differ from those estimates. Loan losses, fair value of certain
financial instruments, consolidation of VIEs, income taxes, securitizations,
valuation of goodwill and other intangibles, pensions and post-retire-
ment benefits, and contingent liabilities are areas where management
makes significant estimates that are dependent on significant assump-
tions in determining the amounts to be recorded in the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date
and non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical
exchange rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are translated
at average exchange rates prevailing throughout the year. Unrealized
translation gains and losses and all realized gains and losses are
included in non-interest income except for available-for-sale securities
where unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded in other
comprehensive income until the asset is sold or becomes impaired.
For self-sustaining foreign currency denominated operations, all
assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the
balance sheet date and all income and expenses are translated at aver-
age exchange rates for the year. Unrealized translation gains and
losses relating to the Bank’s self-sustaining operations, net of any
offsetting gains or losses arising from hedges of these positions, and
applicable income taxes, are included in other comprehensive income.
The accumulated translation gains or losses are included in non-interest
income either on disposal of the investments or upon the reduction in
the net investment as a result of capital transactions such as dividend
distributions. The investment balance of a foreign entity accounted for
by the equity method is translated into Canadian dollars, prior to the
application of the equity method, with any exchange gains or losses
recognized in non-interest income.
CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
Cash and due from banks consist of cash and amounts due from banks
which are issued by investment grade financial institutions. These
amounts are due on demand or have an original maturity of three
months or less.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Investment and securities services income include asset management
fees, administration and commission fees, and investment banking
fees. Asset management fees and administration and commission fees
include income from investment management and related services,
custody and institutional trust services and brokerage services, which
are recognized as income over the period in which the related service
is rendered. Investment banking fees including advisory fees, are
recognized as income when earned, and underwriting fees, net of
syndication expenses, are recognized as income when the Bank has
rendered all services to the issuer and is entitled to collect the fee.
Card services income including interchange income from credit
and debit cards and annual fees, are recognized as earned, except
for annual fees, which are recognized over a 12-month period.
Service charges and trust fee income are recognized as earned.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Financial Instruments – 2009 Amendments
Debt Securities Classified as Loans and Loans
Classified as Trading
In August 2009, the Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) of the
Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) amended CICA
Handbook Section 3855, Financial Instruments – Recognition and
Measurement and CICA Handbook Section 3025, Impaired Loans (the
2009 Amendments). The 2009 Amendments changed the definition
of a loan such that certain debt securities may be classified as loans if
they do not have a quoted price in an active market and it is not the
Bank’s intent to sell the securities immediately or in the near term. Debt
securities classified as loans are assessed for impairment using the
incurred credit loss model of CICA Handbook Section 3025. Under this
model, the carrying value of a loan is reduced to its estimated realizable
amount when it is determined that it is impaired. Loan impairment
accounting requirements are also applied to held-to-maturity financial
assets as a result of the 2009 Amendments. Debt securities that are
classified as available-for-sale continue to be written down to their fair
value through the Consolidated Statement of Income when the impair-
ment is considered to be other than temporary; however, the impairment
loss can be reversed if the fair value subsequently increases and the
increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the
impairment loss was recognized.
As a result of the 2009 Amendments, the Bank reclassified certain
debt securities from available-for-sale to loans effective November 1,
2008 at their amortized cost as of that date. To be eligible for reclassi-
fication, the debt securities had to meet the amended definition of a
loan on November 1, 2008. Prior to the reclassification, the debt
securities were accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value
recorded in other comprehensive income. After the reclassification,
they are accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest
rate method.
In addition, the Bank also reclassified held-to-maturity securities that
did not have a quoted price in an active market to loans as required by
the 2009 Amendments. The securities were accounted for at amortized
cost both before and after the reclassification.
The following table shows carrying values of the reclassified debt
securities as at October 31, 2008 and November 1, 2008.

2 $563 million after tax.
3 $59 million after tax.
In addition, the 2009 Amendments required loans for which the Bank
has the intention to sell immediately or in the near term to be classified
as trading. As a result, they are accounted for at fair value, with
changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated Statement of
Income. Prior to the adoption of the 2009 Amendments, these loans
were accounted for at amortized cost. These loans are recorded in
residential mortgages and business and government loans on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. This change did not have a material
impact on the financial position, cash flows, or earnings of the Bank.
Alignment of Reporting Period of U.S. Entities
Effective April 30, 2009, the reporting periods of TD Bank, N.A., which
currently operates as TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank, were
aligned with the reporting period of the Bank to eliminate the one
month lag in financial reporting. Prior to April 30, 2009, the reporting
period of TD Bank, N.A. was included in the Bank’s financial state-
ments on a one month lag. In accordance with the CICA Handbook
Section 1506, Accounting Changes, this alignment is considered a
change in accounting policy. The Bank has assessed that the impact
to prior periods is not material and therefore, an adjustment was
made to opening retained earnings of fiscal 2009, to align the report-
ing period of TD Bank, N.A. to that of the Bank’s reporting period.
Accordingly, the results of TD Bank, N.A. for the twelve months ended
October 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 have been included with the
results of the Bank for the twelve months ended October 31, 2011,
2010, and 2009. The one month impact of aligning the reporting
period of U.S. entities has been included directly in retained earnings
and not in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING CHANGES
Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards
The Bank, a publicly accountable entity, is transitioning from Canadian
GAAP to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), effective
for interim and annual periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal
2012. Please refer to Note 34 of the Consolidated Financial Statements
for the IFRS opening Consolidated Balance Sheet as at November 1,
2010 (IFRS opening Consolidated Balance Sheet) and related disclosures
including a summary of the Bank’s first-time adoption transition elections
under IFRS 1 and other significant differences between Canadian GAAP
and IFRS. These disclosures form the starting point for the Bank’s
financial reporting under IFRS and have been provided to allow a better
understanding of the expected effect on the consolidated financial
statements as a result of the adoption of IFRS. The interim and annual
fiscal 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements will also include fiscal 2011
comparatives, related transitional reconciliations and note disclosures.
IFRS uses a conceptual framework similar to Canadian GAAP;
however, certain differences exist related to items such as recognition,
measurement, and disclosure; certain of which may have a significant
impact on the Bank’s accounting policies.
N O T E 2
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Certain financial instruments are carried on the balance sheet at their
fair value. These financial instruments include securities and loans
held in the trading portfolio, securities and loans designated as trading
under the fair value option, securities classified as available-for-sale,
derivative financial instruments, certain deposits classified as trading,
and obligations related to securities sold short.
DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE
The fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally
the transaction price, i.e. the fair value of the consideration given or
received. The best evidence of fair value is quoted prices in active
markets, and is based on bid prices for financial assets, and offered
prices for financial liabilities. When financial assets and liabilities have
offsetting market risks, the Bank uses mid-market prices as a basis for
establishing fair values for the offsetting risk positions and applies the
bid or offered price to the net open position, as appropriate. When
there is no active market for the instrument, the fair value may be
based on other observable current market transactions involving the
same instrument, without modification or repackaging, or is based on
a valuation technique which maximizes the use of observable market
inputs. These techniques include comparisons with similar instruments
where market observable prices exist, discounted cash flow analysis,
option pricing models, and other valuation techniques commonly used
by market participants. For certain financial instruments, fair values
may be determined in whole or in part by using valuation techniques,
such as internally developed valuation models, which may incorporate
non-observable market inputs.
If there is a difference between the value based on a valuation
technique which includes inputs from observable markets, and the
initial transaction price, the difference is referred to as inception profit
or loss, and is recognized into income upon initial recognition of
the instrument. When an instrument is measured using a valuation
technique that utilizes significant non-observable market inputs,
it is initially valued at the transaction price, which is considered the
best estimate of fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, any
difference between the transaction price and the value determined
by the valuation technique at initial recognition is recognized into
income as non-observable inputs become observable.
If the fair value of a financial asset measured at fair value becomes
negative, it is recorded as a financial liability until either its fair value
becomes positive, at which time it is recorded as a financial asset, or
until it is extinguished.
VALUATION ADJUSTMENTS
The Bank recognizes various types of valuation adjustments to account
for system limitations or measurement uncertainty in determining fair
value when using valuation techniques. Valuation adjustments reflect
the Bank’s assessment of factors that market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability. These include, but are not limited to,
the unobservability of inputs used in the pricing model, or assumptions
about risk, such as creditworthiness of each counterparty and risk
premiums that market participants would require given the inherent
risk in the pricing model.
92
METHODS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The Bank calculates fair values based on the following methods of
valuation and assumptions:
Financial Instruments Whose Carrying Value
Approximates Fair Value
For certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are short term
in nature or contain variable rate features, fair value is based on the
appropriate prevailing interest rates and/or credit curves. The fair value
of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks,
customers’ liability under acceptances, acceptances, securities purchased
under reverse repurchase agreements, and obligations related to secu-
rities sold under repurchase agreements, are considered to approximate
carrying value.
Government and Government-related Securities
The fair value of Canadian government debt securities is primarily based
on quoted prices in active markets, where available. Where quoted
prices are not available, valuation techniques such as discounted cash
flow models may be used, which maximize the use of observable
inputs such as government yield curves.
The fair value of U.S. federal and state government, as well as
agency debt securities, is determined by reference to recent transaction
prices, broker quotes or third-party vendor prices. Brokers or third-party
vendors may use a pool-specific valuation model to value these securi-
ties. Observable market inputs to the model include To Be Announced
(TBA) market prices, the applicable indices, and metrics such as the
coupon, maturity, and weighted average maturity of the pool. U.S.
municipal government securities are valued using inputs obtained from
a widely accepted comprehensive U.S. municipal reference database,
MuniView. Inputs include reported trades, material event notices, and
new issuance data. Other inputs used in the valuation model include,
but are not limited to, indexed yield curves and trading spreads.
The fair value of residential mortgage-backed securities is primarily
determined using valuation techniques, such as the use of option-
adjusted spread (OAS) models which include inputs such as prepayment
rate assumptions related to the underlying collateral. Observable inputs
include, but are not limited to, indexed yield curves, and bid-ask spreads.
Other inputs may include volatility assumptions derived using Monte
Carlo simulations and take into account factors such as counterparty
credit quality, liquidity and concentration.
Other Debt Securities
The fair value of corporate and other debt securities, including debt
securities reclassified from trading, is primarily based on broker quotes,
third-party vendor prices, or other valuation techniques, such as
discounted cash flow techniques. Market inputs used in the valuation
techniques or underlying third-party vendor prices or broker quotes
include benchmark and government yield curves, credit spreads, and
trade execution data.
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS Asset-backed securities are primarily fair valued using third-party
vendor prices. The third-party vendor employs a valuation model which
maximizes the use of observable inputs such as benchmark yield curves
and bid-ask spreads. The model also takes into account relevant data
about the underlying collateral, such as weighted average terms to
maturity and prepayment rate assumptions.
Equity Securities
The fair value of equity securities is based on quoted prices in active
markets, where available. Where quoted prices in active markets are
not readily available, or there is a wide bid-offer spread, fair value is
determined based on quoted market prices for similar securities. If
there are trading restrictions on the equity security held, a valuation
adjustment is recorded against available prices to reflect the nature
of the restriction.
Retained Interests
The methods and assumptions used to determine fair value of retained
interests are described in Note 5, Loan Securitizations.
Loans
The estimated fair value of loans carried at amortized cost, other than
debt securities classified as loans, reflects changes in market price that
have occurred since the loans were originated or purchased, including
changes in the creditworthiness. For fixed-rate performing loans, esti-
mated fair value is determined by discounting the expected future cash
flows related to these loans at current market interest rates for loans
with similar credit risks. The fair value of loans is not adjusted for
the value of any credit protection the Bank has purchased to mitigate
credit risk. For floating rate performing loans, changes in interest
rates have minimal impact on fair value since loans reprice to market
frequently. On that basis, in the absence of deterioration in credit,
fair value is assumed to approximate carrying value.
At initial recognition, debt securities classified as loans do not
include debt securities with quoted prices in active markets. Similar to
other debt securities not classified as loans, when quoted market
prices are not readily available, fair value is based on quoted market
prices of similar securities, other third-party evidence or by using
a valuation technique that maximizes the use of observable market
inputs. If quoted prices in active markets subsequently become
available, these are used to determine fair value for debt securities
classified as loans.
The fair value of loans carried at fair value, which includes trading
loans and loans designated as trading under the fair value option, is
determined using observable market prices, where available. Where
the Bank is a market maker for loans traded in the secondary market,
fair value is determined using executed prices, or prices for comparable
trades. For those loans where the Bank is not a market maker, the
Bank obtains broker quotes from other reputable dealers. The prices
are corroborated as part of the Bank’s independent review process,
which may include using valuation techniques or obtaining consensus
or composite prices from pricing services.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of exchange-traded derivative financial instruments is
based on quoted market prices. The fair value of over-the-counter
(OTC) derivative financial instruments is estimated using well estab-
lished valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow techniques,
Black-Scholes model, and Monte Carlo simulation. The valuation
models incorporate prevailing market rates and prices of underlying
instruments with similar maturities and characteristics.
Prices derived by using models are recorded net of valuation adjust-
ments. The inputs used in the valuation models depend on the type of
derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and are specific
to the instrument being valued. Inputs can include, but are not limited
to, interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, dividend yield
projections, recovery rates, volatilities, spot prices, and correlation.
A credit risk valuation adjustment (CRVA) is recorded against the
model value of OTC derivatives to account for the uncertainty that
either counterparty in a derivative transaction may not be able to fulfill
its obligations under the transaction. In determining CRVA, the Bank
takes into account master netting agreements and collateral, and
considers the creditworthiness of the counterparty and the Bank itself,
in assessing potential future amounts owed to, or by the Bank.
As at October 31, 2011, the CRVA recorded against the model value
of OTC derivatives was $183 million (2010 – $178 million).
In the case of defaulted counterparties, a specific provision is estab-
lished to recognize the estimated realizable value, net of collateral
held, based on market pricing in effect at the time the default is recog-
nized. In these instances, the estimated realizable value is measured by
discounting the expected future cash flows at an appropriate effective
interest rate immediately prior to impairment, after adjusting for the
value of collateral.
Deposits
The estimated fair value of term deposits is determined by discounting
the contractual cash flows using interest rates currently offered for
deposits with similar terms.
For deposits with no defined maturities, the Bank considers fair
value to equal carrying value, which is equivalent to the amount
payable on the balance sheet date.
For trading deposits, fair value is determined using discounted cash
flow valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable
market inputs such as benchmark yield curves and foreign exchange
rates. The Bank considers the impact of its own creditworthiness in the
valuation of these deposits by reference to observable market inputs.
Obligations Related to Securities Sold Short
The fair value of these obligations is based on the fair value of the
underlying securities, which can include equity or debt securities.
As these obligations are fully collateralized, the method used to deter-
mine fair value would be the same as that of the relevant underlying
equity or debt securities.
Subordinated Notes and Debentures
The fair values of subordinated notes and debentures are based on
quoted market prices for similar issues or current rates offered to the
Bank for debt of equivalent credit quality and remaining maturity.
Liabilities for Preferred Shares and Capital Trust Securities
The fair values for preferred share liabilities and capital trust
securities are based on quoted market prices of the same or similar
financial instruments.
Management validates that the estimates of fair value are reason-
able using a process of obtaining multiple quotes of external market
prices and values of inputs. Management consistently applies valuation
models and controls over a period of time in the valuation process.
The valuations are also validated by past experience and through
actual cash settlement under the contract terms.

Fair Value Hierarchy
CICA Handbook Section 3862 requires disclosure of a three-level hier-
archy for fair value measurements based upon transparency of inputs
to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.
The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Fair value is based on quoted market prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally
include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are
traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain Canadian and
U.S. treasury bills and other Canadian and U.S. government and
agency mortgage-backed securities that are highly liquid and are
actively traded in OTC markets.
Level 2: Fair value is based on observable inputs other than Level 1
prices, such as quoted market prices for similar (but not identical)
assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and other inputs that
are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and
liabilities include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less
frequently than exchange-traded instruments and derivative contracts
whose value is determined using valuation techniques with inputs that
are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or
corroborated by observable market data. Level 2 assets and liabilities
generally include Canadian and U.S. government securities, Canadian
and U.S. agency mortgage-backed debt securities, corporate debt
securities, certain derivative contracts, and certain trading deposits.
Level 3: Fair value is based on non-observable inputs that are supported
by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value
of the assets or liabilities. Financial instruments classified within Level 3
of the fair value hierarchy are initially fair valued at their transaction
price, which is considered the best estimate of fair value. After initial
measurement, the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities is determined
using valuation models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar
techniques. Level 3 assets and liabilities primarily include retained
interests in loan securitizations and certain derivative contracts.

in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Significant transfers into and out of Level 3 reflected in the tables
above, occur mainly due to the following reasons:
• Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 occur when techniques used for
valuing the instrument incorporate significant observable market
inputs or broker-dealer quotes which were previously not observable.
• Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 occur when an instrument’s fair
value, which was previously determined using valuation techniques
with significant observable market inputs or broker-dealer quotes,
is now determined using valuation techniques with significant non-
observable market inputs or broker-dealer quotes.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
The following table summarizes the potential effect of using reasonable
possible alternative assumptions for financial assets and financial liabilities
held, as at October 31, 2011 and 2010, that are classified in Level 3
of the fair value hierarchy. The Bank used the following approach to
develop the sensitivity analysis assumptions for Level 3 financial assets
and financial liabilities: For interest rate derivatives, the sensitivity is
calculated by shocking the volatility of unobservable spreads. For credit
derivatives, unobservable credit spreads are shocked using assumptions
derived from the underlying bond position credit spreads. For equity
derivatives, the sensitivity is calculated by shocking volatility, dividends,
correlation, or the price of the underlying equity instrument. For retained
interests, the sensitivity analysis is described in more detail in Note 5,
and is calculated by changing the estimates of prepayment rates.

A Level 3 financial asset or liability is first recognized at its transaction
price. The difference between the transaction price at initial recognition
and the value determined at that date using a valuation technique is
not recognized in income until the non-observable inputs used to value
these instruments become observable. The following table summarizes
the aggregate difference yet to be recognized in net income due to the
difference between the transaction price and the amount determined
using valuation techniques with significant non-observable market inputs.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DESIGNATED AS TRADING
UNDER THE FAIR VALUE OPTION
Financial assets and financial liabilities, other than those classified as
trading, may be designated as trading under the fair value option
if fair values are reliably measurable, the asset or liability meets one
or more of the criteria set out below, and the asset or liability is so
designated by the Bank on initial recognition. Financial instruments
designated as trading under the fair value option and related interest
and dividend income are accounted for on the same basis as securities
classified as trading.
The Bank may designate financial assets and financial liabilities as
trading when the designation:
i) eliminates or significantly reduces valuation or recognition inconsis-
tencies that would otherwise arise from measuring financial assets
or financial liabilities, or recognizing gains and losses on them, on
different bases; or
ii) applies to groups of financial assets, financial liabilities or combi-
nations thereof that are managed, and their performance evaluated,
on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk man -
agement or investment strategy, and where information about the
groups of financial instruments is reported to management on
that basis.
SECURITIES DESIGNATED AS TRADING UNDER
THE FAIR VALUE OPTION
Certain securities that support insurance reserves within certain of the
Bank’s insurance subsidiaries have been designated as trading under
the fair value option. The actuarial valuation of the insurance reserve is
based on a discount factor using the market yield of the assets
supporting the insurance reserve. By designating the securities as trad-
ing under the fair value option, the unrealized gain or loss on the secu-
rities is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the
same period as the loss or income resulting from changes to the
discount rate used to value the insurance reserves.
In addition, certain government and government insured securities
have been combined with derivatives to form economic hedging rela-
tionships. These securities are being held as part of the Bank’s overall
interest rate risk management strategy and have been designated as
trading under the fair value option. The derivatives are carried at fair
value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Income.
The total fair value of these securities designated as trading under
the fair value option was $2,980 million as at October 31, 2011 (2010 –
$2,983 million). These securities are recorded in trading securities on
the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT LOANS DESIGNATED
AS TRADING UNDER THE FAIR VALUE OPTION
Certain business and government loans held within a trading portfolio
or economically hedged with derivatives, are designated as trading
under the fair value option if the criteria described above are met. The
method of determining fair value of these loans is described earlier in
the Note.
The total fair value of these loans was $14 million as at October 31,
2011 (2010 – $85 million) which represents their maximum credit
exposure. These loans are recorded in business and government loans
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
These loans are managed as part of a trading portfolio with risk
limits that have been approved by the Bank’s risk management group
and are hedged with various financial instruments, including credit
derivatives. The Bank also uses other instruments within this trading
portfolio to hedge its total maximum exposure to loss. At October 31,
2011, the cumulative change in fair value of these loans attributable to
changes in credit risk was $9 million (2010 – nil), calculated by deter-
mining the changes in credit spread implicit in the fair value of the loans.
INCOME (LOSS) FROM FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS DESIGNATED
AS TRADING UNDER THE FAIR VALUE OPTION
During the year ended October 31, 2011, income (loss) representing
net changes in the fair value of financial assets designated as trading
under the fair value option was $0.03 million (2010 – $37 million;
2009 – $256 million). Income (loss) from financial instruments desig-
nated as trading under the fair value option is included in other
income. This income (loss) is primarily offset by the changes in the fair
value of derivatives used to economically hedge these assets and is
recorded in other income (loss).
N O T E 3
SECURITIES
SECURITIES
The Bank classifies securities pursuant to the requirements of CICA
Handbook Section 3855 as trading (including those designated as
trading under the fair value option, described in Note 2), available-
for-sale, or held-to-maturity. Debt securities classified as loans are
discussed in Note 4.
Trading
Securities purchased with the intention of generating profits in the
near term are recorded on a trade date basis and are classified as
trading. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. These securities
are accounted for at fair value with the change in fair value as well as
any gains or losses realized on disposal recognized in trading income.
Dividends are recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income
is recognized on an accrual basis. Both are included in interest income.
Available-for-Sale
Securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded on a trade date
basis and are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded
in other comprehensive income. Equity securities that are classified as
available-for-sale and do not have quoted market prices are recorded
at cost. Gains and losses realized on disposal of available-for-sale
securities are calculated on an average cost basis and are recognized
in net securities gains (losses) in non-interest income. Dividends are
recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized
on an accrual basis using the effective interest rate method. Both are
included in interest income.
Held-to-Maturity
Securities with a fixed maturity date that the Bank intends and has
the ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and
accounted for at amortized cost. Interest income is recognized using
the effective interest rate method.
99
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS IMPAIRMENT OF AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES
Available-for-sale securities are written down to fair value through
net securities gains (losses) in non-interest income whenever it is
necessary to reflect other-than-temporary impairment. In the case of
debt securities classified as available-for-sale, a subsequent increase
in the fair value that can be objectively related to an event that occurred
after the impairment was recognized will result in a reversal of the
impairment loss.
IMPAIRMENT OF HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES
For held-to-maturity securities, an impairment loss is recognized when
there is objective evidence that there has been a deterioration of credit
quality subsequent to the initial recognition of the security to the
extent that the Bank no longer has reasonable assurance as to the
timely collection of the full amount of the principal and interest. The
impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s
carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows
discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.
2008 RECLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN DEBT SECURITIES
During 2008, the Bank changed its trading strategy with respect to
certain trading debt securities as a result of deterioration in markets
and severe dislocation in the credit market. These debt securities were
previously recorded at fair value with changes in fair value, as well as
any gains or losses realized on disposal, recognized in trading income.
Since the Bank no longer intended to actively trade in these debt secu-
rities, the Bank reclassified these debt securities from trading to the
available-for-sale category effective August 1, 2008.
On August 1, 2008, the fair value of debt securities reclassified from
trading to available-for-sale was $6,979 million. In addition, on the
date of reclassification, these debt securities had a weighted-average
effective interest rate of 6.99% with expected recoverable cash flows,
on an undiscounted basis, of $9,732 million. The fair value of the
reclassified debt securities was $1,986 million as at October 31, 2011
(October 31, 2010 – $4,228 million). During the year ended October 31,
2011, net interest income of $183 million after tax (2010 – $262 mil lion
after tax; 2009 –$378 million after tax) was recorded relating to the
reclassified debt securities. The decrease in fair value of these securities
during the year ended October 31, 2011 of $229 million after tax
(October 31, 2010 – increase of $108 million after tax) was recorded in
other comprehensive income. Had the Bank not reclassified these debt
securities, the change in the fair value of these debt securities would
have been included as part of trading income, the impact of which
would have resulted in an decrease in net income of $229 million after
tax in the year ended October 31, 2011 (2010 – increase of $108 mil lion
after tax; 2009 – increase of $687 million after tax). During the year
ended October 31, 2011, reclassified debt securities with a fair value
of $2,162 million (2010 – $1,594 million) were sold or matured, and
$69 million after tax (2010 – $22 million after tax; 2009 – ($72) million
after tax) was recorded in securities gains (losses) during the corre-
sponding period.
SECURITIES PURCHASED UNDER REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREE-
MENTS, SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS,
SECURITY BORROWING AND LENDING
Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements involve the
purchase of securities by the Bank under agreements to resell the secu-
rities at a future date. These agreements are treated as collateralized
lending transactions whereby the Bank takes possession of the
purchased securities, monitors its market value relative to the amounts
due under the reverse repurchase agreements, and when necessary,
requires transfer of additional collateral. In the event of counterparty
default, the financing agreement provides the Bank with the right to
liquidate collateral held and offset the proceeds against the amount
owing from the counterparty.
Obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements
involve the sale of securities by the Bank to counterparties under
agreements to repurchase the securities at a future date. These agree-
ments are treated as collateralized borrowing transactions.
Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and obli-
gations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements are
carried at amortized cost and recorded on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet at the respective prices at which the securities were originally
acquired or sold, plus accrued interest. Interest earned on reverse
repurchase agreements, and interest incurred on repurchase agree-
ments is determined using the effective interest rate method and is
included in interest income and interest expense, respectively, on the
Consolidated Statement of Income.
In security lending transactions the Bank lends securities to a coun-
terparty and receives collateral in the form of cash or securities. If cash
collateral is received, the Bank records the cash along with an obliga-
tion to return the cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as an obli-
gation related to securities sold under repurchase agreements. If
securities are received as collateral, the Bank does not record the
collateral on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In securities borrowing transactions the Bank borrows securities
from a counterparty and pledges either cash or securities as collateral.
If cash is pledged as collateral, the Bank records the transaction as
securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Securities pledged as collateral remain on
the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Where securities are pledged
as collateral, security lending income and security borrowing fees are
recorded in non-interest income in the Consolidated Statement of
Income. Where cash is pledged as collateral, interest incurred or
received is determined using the effective interest rate method and is
included in interest income and interest expense, respectively, in the
Consolidated Statement of Income.

In the following table, unrealized losses for available-for-sale securities
are categorized as “12 months or longer” if for each of the consecutive
12 months preceding October 31, 2011, the fair value of the securities
was less than the amortized cost. If not, they have been categorized
as “Less than 12 months”. None of these unrealized loss positions are
considered to reflect other-than-temporary impairment.

LOANS, IMPAIRED LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
LOANS
Loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that the Bank does not intend to sell immediately or in the
near term and that are not quoted in an active market. Loans are
accounted for at amortized cost, net of an allowance for loan losses
and net of unearned income, which includes prepaid interest, loan
origination fees, commitment fees, loan syndication fees, and unam-
ortized discounts.
Interest income is recorded using the effective interest rate method.
Loan origination fees are considered to be adjustments to the loan
yield and are recognized in interest income over the term of the loan
to maintain a constant effective yield.
Commitment fees are recognized in other income over the commit-
ment period when it is unlikely that the commitment will be called
upon; otherwise, they are recognized in interest income over the term
of the resulting loan. Loan syndication fees are recognized in other
income upon completion of the financing placement unless the yield
on any loan retained by the Bank is less than that of other comparable
lenders involved in the financing syndicate. In such cases, an appro-
priate portion of the fee is recognized as a yield adjustment to interest
income over the term of the loan.
103
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
ACCEPTANCES
Acceptances represent a form of negotiable short-term debt issued by
customers, which the Bank guarantees for a fee. Revenue is recognized
on an accrual basis.
The potential liability of the Bank under acceptances is reported as a
liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Bank’s recourse against
the customer in the event of a call on any of these commitments is
reported as an asset of the same amount.
IMPAIRED LOANS
An impaired loan is any loan when there is objective evidence that
there has been a deterioration of credit quality subsequent to the
initial recognition of the loan to the extent that the Bank no longer has
reasonable assurance as to the timely collection of the full amount of
the principal and interest. In addition, loans where a payment is
contractually past due for 90 days are generally classified as impaired.
Acquired credit-impaired (ACI) loans are reported separately from
impaired loans as they exhibited impairment at the date of acquisition
and are accounted for based on the present value of expected cash
flows on the date of acquisition and subsequent to acquisition.
As at October 31, 2011, impaired loans excludes $1.6 billion (2010 –
$1.2 billion) of gross impaired debt securities classified as loans as
subsequent to any recorded impairment, interest income continues
to be recognized using the effective interest rate which was used
to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the
credit loss.
For loans other than ACI loans and debt securities classified as loans,
interest on impaired loans subsequently received is recorded initially to
recover principal, any previous write-offs or provisions, and collection
costs. Any amounts remaining are then recorded as interest income.
A loan will be reclassified back to performing status when it has been
determined that there is reasonable assurance of full and timely
repayment of interest and principal in accordance with the original
or revised contractual conditions of the loan and all criteria for the
impaired classification have been rectified.
The impact on net interest income due to impaired loans is as follows:

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The Bank maintains an allowance, consisting of general and specific
allowances, which it considers adequate to absorb all credit-related
losses in a portfolio of instruments that are both on and off the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. The allowance for loan losses, which
includes allowance for residential mortgages, consumer instalment
and other personal, credit card, business and government loans, and
debt securities classified as loans, is deducted from the loans on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. The allowance for credit losses for off-
balance sheet instruments, which relates to certain guarantees, letters
of credit and undrawn lines of credit, is recorded in “Other liabilities”
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The allowance for credit losses for
loans and for off-balance sheet exposures are calculated using the
same methodology.
The Bank establishes specific allowances for impaired loans when
the estimated realizable value of a loan is less than its recorded value.
Credit losses on impaired loans continue to be recognized by means
of a specific allowance until a loan is written off. Loans are written off
once there is no realistic prospect of further recovery.
For debt securities classified as loans and large and medium-sized
business and government loans, specific allowances are established on
an individual loan basis to reduce the carrying value of the loan to its
estimated realizable value. The estimated realizable value is measured
by discounting expected future cash flows at the original effective
interest rate inherent in the loan. For all secured loans, expected future
cash flows include consideration of amounts to be received through
the realization of collateral based on an assessment of the value of the
collateral completed when the loan is determined to be impaired.
Management considers the nature of the collateral, seniority ranking
of the debt, and loan structure in assessing the value of the collateral.
These estimated cash flows are reviewed at least annually, or more
frequently when new information indicates a change in the timing or
amount expected to be received. For personal and small business loans
and credit card loans, specific allowances are calculated using a
formula that incorporates recent loss experience, historical default
rates, and the type of collateral pledged.
A general allowance is established to recognize losses that manage-
ment estimates to have occurred in the portfolio at the balance sheet
date for loans not yet specifically identified as impaired. The loans are
grouped according to similar credit risk characteristics and the level
of the general allowance for each group depends upon an assessment
of business and economic conditions, historical and expected loss
experience, loan portfolio composition, and other relevant indicators.
General allowances are computed using credit risk models that
consider probability of default (loss frequency), loss given default (loss
severity), and exposure at default. The general allowance, reviewed
quarterly, reflects management’s judgment of model and estimation
risks as well as economic and credit market conditions.

Foreclosed assets are non-financial assets repossessed where the Bank
gains title, ownership and possession of individual properties, such
as real estate properties, which are managed for sale in an orderly
manner with the proceeds used to reduce or repay any outstanding
debt. The Bank does not generally occupy foreclosed properties for its
business use. In order to determine the carrying value of foreclosed
assets, the Bank predominantly relies on third-party appraisals. Fore-
closed assets held for sale were $186 million as at October 31, 2011
(2010 – $158 million). The gross carrying value of non-financial assets
repossessed during the year was not material. Financial assets repos-
sessed, such as cash and bonds, are used in the Bank’s daily trading
and lending activities and are not differentiated from other financial
assets in the portfolios.
The carrying value of loans renegotiated during the year ended
October 31, 2011, that would otherwise have been impaired, was
$82 million (2010 – $78 million).

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Loans Past Due but not Impaired
A loan is classified as past due when a borrower has failed to make a
payment by the contractual due date, taking into account the grace
period, if applicable. The grace period represents the additional time
period beyond the contractual due date during which a borrower may
make the payment without the loan being classified as past due. The
grace period varies depending on the product type and the borrower.
The following table summarizes loans that are past due but not
impaired as at October 31, 2011 and 2010, and generally, these
amounts exclude loans that fall within the allowed grace period.
Although U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking may grant a grace
period of up to 15 days, there were $1.3 billion as at October 31,
2011 (2010 – $1.3 billion), of U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
loans that were past due up to 15 days that are included in the
1-30 days category in the following table.

Collateral
As at October 31, 2011, the fair value of financial collateral held against
loans that were past due but not impaired was $113 million (2010 –
$22 million). In addition, the Bank also holds non-financial collateral as
security for loans. The fair value of non-financial collateral is determined
at the origination date of the loan. A revaluation of non-financial
collateral is performed if there has been a significant change in the
terms and conditions of the loan and/or the loan is considered impaired.
For impaired loans, an assessment of the collateral is taken into con -
sideration when estimating the net realizable amount of the loan.
ACQUIRED LOANS
All acquired loans are initially measured at their fair value which reflects
incurred credit losses estimated at the acquisition date and also reflects
adjustments based on the acquired loan’s interest rate in comparison
to then current market rates. As a result, no allowance for credit losses
is recorded on the date of acquisition. When loans are acquired with
evidence of incurred credit loss where it is probable at the purchase
date that the Bank will be unable to collect all contractually required
principal and interest payments, they are considered to be ACI loans;
these loans and their associated accounting are described in the
following section below.
Acquired loans for which incurred loss is not present at the acquisi-
tion date, are subsequently accounted for at amortized cost based on
their contractual cash flows and any acquisition related discount or
premium is considered to be an adjustment to the loan yield and are
recognized in interest income over the term of the loan using the
effective interest rate method. These loans are not presented separate
and apart from the Bank’s originated loan portfolios and are subject
to assessment under the Bank’s allowance framework for both general
and specific allowances subsequent to acquisition.
Acquired Credit-Impaired Loans
ACI are acquired loans with evidence of incurred credit loss where
it is probable at the purchase date that the Bank will be unable to
collect all contractually required principal and interest payments.
These loans are accounted for based on the present value of expected
cash flows as opposed to their contractual cash flows. ACI loans
are comprised of commercial, retail and Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) covered loans, from the South Financial, FDIC-
assisted, and Chrysler Financial acquisitions, with outstanding unpaid
principal balances of $6.3 billion, $2.1 billion and $0.9 billion,
respectively, at the acquisition date and fair values of $5.6 billion,
$1.9 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively.
ACI loans were identified as impaired at acquisition based on specific
risk characteristics of the loans, including past due status, performance
history as well as recent borrower credit scores. The Bank then deter-
mined the fair value of the ACI loans at the acquisition date by
discounting expected cash flows at a market observable discount rate
and where necessary adjusted for factors a market participant would
use when determining fair value. In determining the expected cash
flows to be collected, management incorporated assumptions regarding
default rates, loss severities and the amount and timing of prepayments.
With respect to certain individually significant ACI loans, accounting
is applied individually at the loan level. Remaining ACI loans are aggre-
gated into one or more pools provided that they are acquired in the
same fiscal quarter and have common risk characteristics. A pool is
then accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest
rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows.
The carrying value net of specific allowance as at October 31, 2011
and October 31, 2010 is shown in the following table.

1 Represents the contractual amount of principal owed.
2 Management concluded as part of the Bank’s quarterly assessment of the ACI
loans that it was probable that higher than expected principal credit losses would
result in a decrease in expected cash flows subsequent to acquisiton. As a result,
a specific allowance has been recognized.
3 Carrying value does not include the effect of the FDIC loss sharing agreement.
Subsequent to acquisition, the Bank will re-assess its estimate of cash
flows to determine if updates are required. Updates to cash flow esti-
mates incorporate assumptions regarding default rates, loss severities,
the amount and timing of prepayments and other factors that are
reflective of current market conditions. Probable decreases in expected
cash flows trigger the recognition of additional impairment, which is
measured based on the present value of the expected cash flows
107
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan. Impairment that
occurs subsequent to the acquisition date is recognized through the
provision for the credit losses. As ACI loans are consistently evaluated
for credit losses by accounting for the loan based on present value of
expected cash flows both at acquisition and subsequent to acquisition,
they are not subject to general allowance provisioning as incurred
credit losses are specifically identified and reflected in the loan’s carry-
ing value net of any specific allowance.
Probable and significant increases in expected cash flows would first
reverse any previously taken impairment; any remaining increases are
recognized in income immediately as interest income. In addition, for
fixed-rate ACI loans the timing of expected cash flows may increase or
decrease which may result in adjustments through interest income to
the acquisition discount (both favourably and unfavourably) in order to
maintain the inception yield of the ACI loan.
If the timing and/or amounts of expected cash flows on ACI loans
were determined not to be reasonably estimable, no interest would
be recognized and the loans would be reported as non-performing;
however, since the timing and amounts of expected cash flows are
reasonably estimable, interest is being recognized and the loans are
reported as performing.
Covered Loans
Loans subject to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC are considered
FDIC covered loans and are a subset of the ACI portfolio. The amounts
expected to be reimbursed by the FDIC are considered separately as
indemnification assets and are initially measured at fair value. If losses
on the portfolio are greater than amounts expected as at the acquisi-
tion date, impairment is taken by establishing an allowance for credit
losses, which is determined gross, exclusive of any adjustments to the
indemnification assets.
The indemnification assets are subsequently adjusted for any changes
in estimates related to the overall collectability of the underlying loan
portfolio. Any additional impairment of the underlying loan portfolio
generally results in an increase of the indemnification asset and a
decrease in the provision for credit losses. Alternatively, decreases in
the expectation of losses of the underlying loan portfolio generally
results in a decrease of the indemnification asset through net interest
income (or through the provision for credit losses if impairment was
previously taken.) The indemnification asset is drawn down as payments
are received from the FDIC pertaining to the loss share agreements.
As at October 31, 2011 and 2010, the balances of FDIC covered
loans were $1.3 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively and were recorded
in “Loans” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As at October 31, 2011
and 2010, the balances of the indemnification assets were $86 million
and $167 million, respectively and were recorded in “Other assets” on
the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
At the end of each loss share period, the Bank may be required to
make a payment to the FDIC if the actual losses incurred are less than
the intrinsic loss estimate as defined in the loss share agreements. The
payment is determined as 20% of the excess between the intrinsic loss
estimate and actual covered losses determined in accordance with the
loss sharing agreement, net of specified servicing costs. The fair value
of the estimated payment is included as part of the indemnification
asset at the date of acquisition. Subsequent changes to the estimated
payment are considered in determining the adjustment to the indemni-
fication asset as described above.
N O T E 5
LOAN SECURITIZATIONS
When loan receivables are transferred in a securitization to a special
purpose entity under terms that transfer control to third parties, and
consideration other than beneficial interest in the transferred assets is
received, the transaction is recognized as a sale and the related loan
assets are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For control
to have transferred, (1) the transferred loans must be isolated from
the seller, even in the event of bankruptcy or receivership of the seller,
(2) the purchaser must have the right to sell or pledge the transferred
loans or, if the purchaser is a Qualifying Special Purpose Entity (QSPE)
as defined in the CICA Accounting Guideline 12, Transfers of Receiv-
ables, the investors of the QSPE must have the right to sell or pledge
their ownership interest in the QSPE, and (3) the seller cannot retain
the right to repurchase the loans and receive more than trivial benefit.
The Bank may have an obligation to repurchase the securitized assets,
however this does not preclude sale treatment. Refer to Note 29 for
additional information.
As part of the securitization, certain financial assets are retained and
may consist of an interest-only strip, servicing rights and, in some cases,
a cash reserve account. A gain or loss on sale of the loan receivables is
recognized immediately in other income after the effects of hedges on
the assets sold, if applicable. The amount of the gain or loss recognized
depends on the previous carrying values of the receivables involved in
the transfer, allocated between the assets sold and the retained interests
based on their relative fair values at the date of transfer. To obtain fair
value, quoted market prices are used, where available. However, as
market prices are generally not available for retained interests, fair
value is determined by estimating the present value of future expected
cash flows using management’s best estimates of key assumptions –
credit losses, prepayment rates, forward yield curves and discount rates
– commensurate with the risks involved.
Where the Bank retains the servicing rights, the benefits of servicing
are assessed against market expectations. When the benefits of servicing
are more than adequate, a servicing asset is recognized. Servicing assets
are carried at amortized cost. When the benefits of servicing are less
than adequate, a servicing liability is recognized. Retained interests are
classified as trading securities and are subsequently carried at fair value
with the changes in fair value recorded in trading income.
The following table summarizes the Bank’s securitization activity.
In most cases, the Bank retained the responsibility for servicing the
assets securitized.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
A variable interest entity (VIE) is an entity in which the total equity
investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its
activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Bank
identifies VIEs in which it has an interest, determines whether it is the
primary beneficiary of such entities and if so, consolidates them. The
primary beneficiary is an entity that is exposed to a majority of the
VIE’s expected losses or entitled to a majority of the VIE’s expected
residual returns, or both.
SIGNIFICANT CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Bank is the primary beneficiary of two significant VIEs that it
consolidates. One of the VIEs is funded by the Bank and purchases
senior tranches of securitized assets from the Bank’s existing customers.
As at October 31, 2011, the VIE had $88 million (2010 – $598 million)
of assets, which included credit card loans, automobile loans and
leases, and equipment loans and leases. All the assets were originated
in Canada. The Bank is not restricted from accessing the VIE’s assets to
the extent of its entitlement under arrangements with the sellers. The
Bank’s maximum potential exposure to loss was $88 million (2010 –
$598 million) as at October 31, 2011.
The second VIE was created in 2010 to guarantee principal and
interest payments in respect of covered bonds issued by the Bank. The
Bank sold assets originated in Canada to the VIE and provided a loan
to the VIE to facilitate the purchase. As at October 31, 2011, this VIE
had $14.1 billion (2010 – $9.5 billion) of assets which are reported as
consumer instalment and other personal loans on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet. Of this amount $7.4 billion (2010 – $2.2 billion) were
pledged in respect of covered bonds. The Bank is restricted from
accessing the VIE’s assets under the relevant arrangements. The Bank’s
maximum potential exposure to loss was $7.4 billion as at October 31,
2011 (2010 – $2.2 billion).
SIGNIFICANT NON-CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE
INTEREST ENTITIES
The Bank holds significant variable interests in VIEs where it is not
considered the primary beneficiary. The Bank’s variable interests in
these non-consolidated VIEs are discussed as follows.
110
Multi-Seller Conduits
Multi-seller conduits (also referred to as customer securitization vehi-
cles) provide customers with alternate sources of financing through the
securitization of their assets. The customers sell their receivables to
the conduit and the conduit funds its purchase of the receivables
through issuance of short-term commercial paper to outside investors.
Each seller continues to service its assets and absorb first losses. The
Bank has no rights to the assets as they are owned by the conduit.
The Bank administers the conduits and provides liquidity facilities as
well as securities distribution services; it may also provide credit
enhancements. The liquidity agreements are structured as loan facilities
between the Bank, as the sole liquidity lender, and the Bank-sponsored
trusts. If a trust experiences difficulty rolling over asset-backed commer-
cial paper (“ABCP”), the trust may draw on the loan facility, and use
the proceeds to pay maturing ABCP. The liquidity facilities cannot be
drawn if a trust is insolvent or bankrupt, preconditions that must be
satisfied preceding each advance (i.e., draw-down on the facility).
Effectively, such preconditions ensure that the Bank does not provide
credit enhancement.
From time to time, the Bank in its capacity as distribution agent may
hold commercial paper issued by the conduits. During the years ended
October 31, 2011 and 2010, no amounts of ABCP were purchased
pursuant to liquidity agreements. The Bank maintained inventory posi-
tions of ABCP (including those issued by the single-seller conduits
as discussed below) as part of its market-making activities in ABCP.
As at October 31, 2011 and 2010, the Bank held $1,083 million and
$354 million of ABCP inventory, respectively, out of $10.6 billion and
$10.5 billion total outstanding ABCP issued by the conduits as at the
same dates. The commercial paper held is classified as trading securi-
ties on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Bank earns fees from the
conduits which are recognized when earned. The Bank holds variable
interests in these multi-seller conduits primarily through holding their
commercial paper, providing liquidity facilities and earning fees; however,
the Bank is not the primary beneficiary. The Bank monitors its ABCP
inventory positions as part of the on-going consolidation assessment
process, as these purchases are considered reconsideration events. The
inventory positions did not cause any change in consolidation conclu-
sions during the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010.
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Bank’s maximum potential exposure to loss due to its ownership
interest in commercial paper and through the provision of liquidity
facilities for multi-seller conduits was $5.5 billion as at October 31, 2011
(2010 – $5.3 billion). Further, the Bank has committed to an additional
$2.1 billion (2010 – $1.8 billion) in liquidity facilities for ABCP that
could potentially be issued by the conduits. As at October 31, 2011,
the Bank also provided deal-specific credit enhancement in the amount
of $17 million (2010 – $73 million).
Single-Seller Conduits
The Bank uses single-seller conduits to enhance its liquidity position,
to diversify its sources of funding, and to optimize management of its
balance sheet.
As at October 31, 2011, the single-seller conduits had $5.1 billion
(2010 – $5.1 billion) of commercial paper outstanding. While the prob-
ability of loss is negligible, the Bank’s maximum potential exposure to
loss for these conduits through the sole provision of liquidity facilities
(similar to multi-seller conduits mentioned above) was $5.1 billion
(2010 – $5.1 billion); $1.1 billion (2010 – $1.1 billion) of the assets
held by conduits are personal loans that are government insured.
Additionally, the Bank had retained interests of $120 million (2010 –
$121 million) relating to excess spread.
Other Financing Transactions
In April 2010, the Bank exited certain transactions where it provided
cost-efficient financing to U.S. corporate clients through VIEs. The
Bank no longer provides financing to these corporate clients under
these arrangements and as at October 31, 2011 and 2010, had no
exposure to these VIEs.
N O T E 7
DERIVATIVES
Derivative financial instruments are financial contracts that derive their
value from underlying changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
credit spreads, commodity prices, equities, or other financial measures.
Such instruments include interest rate, foreign exchange, equity,
commodity and credit derivative contracts. The Bank uses these instru-
ments for trading purposes and non-trading purposes to manage the
risks associated with its funding and investment strategies.
DERIVATIVES HELD FOR TRADING PURPOSES
The Bank enters into trading derivative contracts to meet the needs of
its customers, to enter into trading positions, and in certain cases, to
manage risks related to its trading portfolio. Trading derivatives are
recorded at fair value with the resulting realized and unrealized gains
or losses recognized immediately in trading income.
DERIVATIVES HELD FOR NON-TRADING
When derivatives are held for non-trading purposes and when the
transactions meet the requirements of Section 3865, Hedges, they are
classified by the Bank as non-trading derivatives and receive hedge
accounting treatment, as appropriate. Certain derivative instruments
that are held for economic hedging purposes, and do not meet the
requirements of Section 3865, are also classified as non-trading deriva-
tives but the change in fair value of these derivatives is recognized in
non-interest income.
HEDGING RELATIONSHIPS
Hedge Accounting
At the inception of a hedging relationship, the Bank documents the
relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, its
risk management objective and its strategy for undertaking the hedge.
The Bank also requires a documented assessment, both at hedge
inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether or not the derivatives
that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting
the changes attributable to the hedged risks in the fair values or cash
flows of the hedged items. In order to be deemed effective, the hedging
instrument and the hedged item must be highly and inversely correlated
such that the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument will
substantially offset the effects of the hedged exposure to the Bank
throughout the term of the hedging relationship. If a hedging relation-
ship becomes ineffective, it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting
and any subsequent change in the fair value of the hedging instrument
is recognized in earnings, without any mitigating impact in earnings,
where appropriate.
The change in fair value relating to the derivative component
excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recognized
immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
When derivatives are designated as hedges, the Bank classifies them
either as: (i) hedges of the change in fair value of recognized assets
or liabilities or firm commitments (fair value hedges); (ii) hedges of the
variability in highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recog-
nized asset or liability, or a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedges);
or (iii) hedges of net investments in a foreign operation (net invest-
ment hedges).
Fair Value Hedges
The Bank’s fair value hedges principally consist of interest rate swaps
that are used to protect against changes in the fair value of fixed-
rate long-term financial instruments due to movements in market
interest rates.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and
qualify as fair value hedging instruments are recorded in the Consoli-
dated Statement of Income, along with changes in the fair value of the
assets, liabilities or group thereof that are attributable to the hedged
risk. Any change in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of the
hedging relationship is recognized immediately in the Consolidated
Statement of Income in other income.
The cumulative adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged
item (the basis adjustment) is amortized to the Consolidated Statement
of Income based on a recalculated effective interest rate over the
remaining expected life of the hedged item, with amortization beginning
no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes
in its fair value attributable to the hedged risk. Where the hedged item
has been derecognized, the basis adjustment is immediately released
to the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Bank is exposed to variability in future cash flows that are denomi-
nated in foreign currencies, as well as variability in future cash flows
of non-trading assets and liabilities that bear interest at variable rates,
or are expected to be refunded or reinvested in the future. The
amounts and timing of future cash flows are projected for each
hedged exposure on the basis of their contractual terms and other
relevant factors, including estimates of prepayments and defaults. The
aggregate cash flows across all hedged exposures over time form the
basis for identifying the effective portion of gains and losses on the
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that
are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other
comprehensive income. Any change in fair value relating to the ineffec -
tive portion is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement
of Income in other income.
Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassi-
fied to the Consolidated Statement of Income in the period in which
the hedged item affects income.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no
longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain
or loss existing in other comprehensive income at that time remains in
other comprehensive income until the forecasted transaction is even-
tually recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. When a
forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative
111
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is imme-
diately transferred to the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Net Investment Hedges
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for
similar to cash flow hedges. Any change in fair value on the hedging
instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized
in other comprehensive income. The change in fair value relating to
the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the Consolidated
Statement of Income. Gains and losses accumulated in other com -
prehensive income are included in the Consolidated Statement of
Income upon the repatriation or disposal of the investment in the
foreign operation.
DERIVATIVE PRODUCT TYPES AND RISK EXPOSURES
The majority of the Bank’s derivative contracts are OTC transactions
that are privately negotiated between the Bank and the counterparty
to the contract. The remainder are exchange-traded contracts transacted
through organized and regulated exchanges and consist primarily of
options and futures.
Interest Rate Derivatives
The Bank uses interest rate derivatives, such as interest rate futures
and forwards, swaps, and options in managing interest rate risks.
Interest rate risk is the impact that changes in interest rates could have
on the Bank’s margins, earnings, and economic value. Changes in
interest rate can impact the market value of fixed rate assets and
liabilities. Further, certain assets and liabilities repayment rates vary
depending on interest rates.
Forward rate agreements are OTC contracts that effectively fix a
future interest rate for a period of time. A typical forward rate agree-
ment provides that at a pre-determined future date, a cash settlement
will be made between the counterparties based upon the difference
between a contracted rate and a market rate to be determined in
the future, calculated on a specified notional principal amount. No
exchange of principal amount takes place.
Interest rate swaps are OTC contracts in which two counterparties
agree to exchange cash flows over a period of time based on rates
applied to a specified notional principal amount. A typical interest rate
swap would require one counterparty to pay a fixed market interest
rate in exchange for a variable market interest rate determined from
time to time, with both calculated on a specified notional principal
amount. No exchange of principal amount takes place.
Interest rate options are contracts in which one party (the purchaser
of an option) acquires from another party (the writer of an option), in
exchange for a premium, the right, but not the obligation, either to
buy or sell, on a specified future date or series of future dates or
within a specified time, a specified financial instrument at a contracted
price. The underlying financial instrument will have a market price
which varies in response to changes in interest rates. In managing the
Bank’s interest rate exposure, the Bank acts as both a writer and
purchaser of these options. Options are transacted both OTC and
through exchanges.
Interest rate futures are standardized contracts transacted on an
exchange. They are based upon an agreement to buy or sell a specified
quantity of a financial instrument on a specified future date, at a
contracted price. These contracts differ from forward rate agreements
in that they are in standard amounts with standard settlement dates
and are transacted on an exchange.
Foreign Exchange Derivatives
The Bank uses foreign exchange derivatives, such as futures, forwards
and swaps in managing foreign exchange risks. Foreign exchange risk
refers to losses that could result from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign
currencies have foreign exchange risk. The Bank is exposed to non-
trading foreign exchange risk from its investments in foreign operations
when the Bank’s foreign currency assets are greater or less than the
liabilities in that currency; they create a foreign currency open position.
Foreign exchange forwards are OTC contracts in which one counter-
party contracts with another to exchange a specified amount of one
currency for a specified amount of a second currency, at a future date
or range of dates.
112
Swap contracts comprise foreign exchange swaps and cross-currency
interest rate swaps. Foreign exchange swaps are transactions in which
a foreign currency is simultaneously purchased in the spot market and
sold in the forward market, or vice-versa. Cross-currency interest rate
swaps are transactions in which counterparties exchange principal and
interest cash flows in different currencies over a period of time. These
contracts are used to manage both currency and interest rate exposures.
Foreign exchange futures contracts are similar to foreign exchange
forward contracts but differ in that they are in standard currency amounts
with standard settlement dates and are transacted on an exchange.
Credit Derivatives
The Bank uses credit derivatives such as credit default swaps (CDS) and
total return swaps in managing risks of the Bank’s corporate loan
portfolio and other cash instruments. Credit risk is the risk of loss if
a borrower or counterparty in a transaction fails to meet its agreed
payment obligations. The Bank uses credit derivatives to mitigate
industry concentration and borrower-specific exposure as part of the
Bank’s portfolio risk management techniques. The credit, legal, and
other risks associated with these transactions are controlled through
well established procedures. The Bank’s policy is to enter into these
transactions with investment grade financial institutions. Credit risk to
these counterparties is managed through the same approval, limit and
monitoring processes that is used for all counterparties to which the
Bank has credit exposure.
Credit derivatives are OTC contracts designed to transfer the credit
risk in an underlying financial instrument (usually termed as a reference
asset) from one counterparty to another. The most common credit
derivatives are CDS (referred to as option contracts) and total return
swaps (referred to as swap contracts). In option contracts, an option
purchaser acquires credit protection on a reference asset or group of
assets from an option writer in exchange for a premium. The option
purchaser may pay the agreed premium at inception or over a period
of time. The credit protection compensates the option purchaser for
any deterioration in value of the reference asset or group of assets
upon the occurrence of certain credit events such as bankruptcy or
failure to pay. Settlement may be cash based or physical, requiring the
delivery of the reference asset to the option writer. In swap contracts,
one counterparty agrees to pay or receive from the other cash amounts
based on changes in the value of a reference asset or group of assets,
including any returns such as interest earned on these assets in exchange
for amounts that are based on prevailing market funding rates. These
cash settlements are made regardless of whether there is a credit event.
Other Derivatives
The Bank also transacts equity and commodity derivatives in both the
exchange and OTC markets.
Equity swaps are OTC contracts in which one counterparty agrees
to pay, or receive from the other, cash amounts based on changes in
the value of a stock index, a basket of stocks or a single stock. These
contracts sometimes include a payment in respect of dividends.
Equity options give the purchaser of the option, for a premium,
the right, but not the obligation, to buy from or sell to the writer
of an option, an underlying stock index, basket of stocks or single
stock at a contracted price. Options are transacted both OTC and
through exchanges.
Equity index futures are standardized contracts transacted on an
exchange. They are based on an agreement to pay or receive a cash
amount based on the difference between the contracted price level
of an underlying stock index and its corresponding market price level
at a specified future date. There is no actual delivery of stocks that
comprise the underlying index. These contracts are in standard
amounts with standard settlement dates.
Commodity contracts include commodity forwards, futures, swaps
and options, such as precious metals and energy-related products in
both OTC and exchange markets.
The Bank issues certain loan commitments to customers in Canada
at a fixed rate. These funding commitments are accounted for as deriv-
atives if there is past practice of selling the loans shortly after funding.
These loan commitments are carried at fair value with the resulting
realized and unrealized gains or losses recognized immediately in
other income.
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS NOTIONAL AMOUNTS
The notional amounts are not recorded as assets or liabilities as they
represent the face amount of the contract to which a rate or price is
applied to determine the amount of cash flows to be exchanged.
Notional principal amounts do not represent the potential gain or loss
associated with market risk and are not indicative of the credit risk
associated with derivative financial instruments.
EMBEDDED DERIVATIVES
Derivatives may be embedded in other financial instruments (the host
instrument). Embedded derivatives are treated as separate derivatives
when their economic characteristics and risks are not clearly and
closely related to those of the host instrument, a separate instrument
with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the
definition of a derivative, and the combined contract is not held for
trading or designated as trading under the fair value option. These
embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with subsequent
changes in fair value recognized in trading income.
Certain of the Bank’s deposit obligations that vary according to
the performance of certain equity levels or indices may be subject to
a guaranteed minimum redemption amount and have an embedded
derivative. The Bank accounts for the embedded derivative of such
variable obligations at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in
other income as they arise. The Bank does not expect significant future
earnings volatility as the embedded derivatives are effectively hedged
economically. The fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as derivatives.

During the years ended October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, the
Bank did not recognize any net gain or loss in earnings as a result of
hedged firm commitments that no longer qualified as fair value hedges.
Over the next 12 months, the Bank expects an estimated
$1,162 million as at October 31, 2011 ($745 million as at October 31,
2010) in net gains reported in other comprehensive income to be
reclassified to net income. The maximum length of time over which the
Bank is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for
anticipated transactions is 28 years. During the year ended October 31,
2011, there were no significant instances where forecasted transactions
failed to occur.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
DERIVATIVE-RELATED RISKS
Market Risk
Derivatives, in the absence of any compensating upfront cash payments,
generally have no market value at inception. They obtain value, positive
or negative, as relevant interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity,
commodity or credit prices or indices change, such that the previously
contracted terms of the derivative transactions have become more or
less favourable than what can be negotiated under current market
conditions for contracts with the same terms and the same remaining
period to expiry.
The potential for derivatives to increase or decrease in value as a
result of the foregoing factors is generally referred to as market risk.
This market risk is managed by senior officers responsible for the
Bank’s trading business and is monitored independently by the Bank’s
Risk Management Group.
Credit Risk
Credit risk on derivatives, also known as counterparty credit risk, is the
risk of a financial loss occurring as a result of the failure of a counter-
party to meet its obligation to the Bank. The Treasury Credit area
within the Wholesale Bank is responsible for implementing and ensuring
compliance with credit policies established by the Bank for the
management of derivative credit exposures.
Derivative-related credit risks are subject to the same credit approval,
limit and monitoring standards that are used for managing other trans-
actions that create credit exposure. This includes evaluating the credit-
worthiness of counterparties, and managing the size, diversification
and maturity structure of the portfolios. The Bank actively engages in
risk mitigation strategies through the use of multi-product derivative
master netting agreements, collateral and other risk mitigation tech-
niques. Master netting agreements reduce risk to the Bank by allowing
the Bank to close out and net transactions with counterparties subject
to such agreements upon the occurrence of certain events. The effect
of these master netting agreements is shown in the table below entitled
“Credit Exposure of Derivatives”.
Also shown in the table entitled “Credit Exposure of Derivatives”,
is the current replacement cost, which is the positive fair value of
all outstanding derivatives, and represents the Bank’s maximum deriv-
ative credit exposure. The credit equivalent amount is the sum of the
current replacement cost and the potential future exposure, which is
calculated by applying factors supplied by OSFI to the notional princi-
pal amount of the derivatives. The risk-weighted amount is determined
by applying standard measures of counterparty credit risk to the credit
equivalent amount.

2 After impact of master netting agreements and collateral.
Certain of the Bank’s derivative contracts are governed by master
derivative agreements having provisions that may permit the Bank’s
counterparties to require, upon the occurrence of a certain contingent
event, (i) the posting of collateral or other acceptable remedy such as
assignment of the affected contracts to an acceptable counterparty,
or (ii) settlement of outstanding derivative contracts. Most often, these
contingent events are in the form of a downgrade of the senior debt
ratings of the Bank, either as counterparty or as guarantor of one of
the Bank’s subsidiaries. At October 31, 2011, the aggregate net liability
position of those contracts would require (i) the posting of collateral
or other acceptable remedy totalling $57 million (2010 – $9 million) in
the event of a one-notch or two-notch downgrade in the Bank’s senior
debt ratings and (ii) funding totalling $2 million (2010 – nil) following
the termination and settlement of outstanding derivative contracts in
the event of a one-notch or two notch downgrade in the Bank’s senior
debt ratings.
N O T E 8
ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER
a) Acquisition of Chrysler Financial
On April 1, 2011, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstanding equity
of Chrysler Financial in Canada and the U.S. for cash consideration of
approximately $6,390 million including contingent consideration. As
part of the purchase agreement, the Bank is required to pay additional
cash consideration in the event that amounts realized on certain assets
exceed a pre-established threshold. Under Canadian GAAP, contingent
consideration is recorded as part of the purchase price, when the
amount can be reasonably estimated and the outcome is determinable
beyond a reasonable doubt. During September 2011, the amounts
realized on these assets exceeded the threshold and the Bank was
required to pay cash consideration of $70 million. The acquisition was
accounted for by the purchase method. The results of Chrysler Financial
from the acquisition date to October 31, 2011 have been consolidated
with the Bank’s results. The results of Chrysler Financial in the U.S. are
reported in the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment. The
results of Chrysler Financial in Canada are reported in the Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking segment.
118
Certain of the Bank’s derivative contracts are governed by master
derivative agreements having credit support provisions that permit
the Bank’s counterparties to call for collateral depending on the net
mark-to-market exposure position of all derivative contracts governed
by that master derivative agreement. Some of these agreements may
permit the Bank’s counterparties to require, upon the downgrade
of the senior debt ratings of the Bank, to post additional collateral. As
at October 31, 2011 the fair value of all derivative instruments with
credit risk related contingent features in a net liability position was
$12.9 billion (2010 – $11.9 billion). The Bank has posted $10.3 billion
(2010 – $8.8 billion) of collateral for this exposure in the normal
course of business. At October 31, 2011, the impact of a one-notch
downgrade in the Bank’s senior debt ratings would require the Bank
to post an additional $0.5 billion (2010 – $0.6 billion) of collateral to
that posted in the normal course of business. A two-notch down grade
in the Bank’s senior debt ratings would require the Bank to post an
additional $1.6 billion (2010 – $1.7 billion) of collateral to that posted
in the normal course of business.
During the period from the acquisition date to October 31, 2011,
goodwill increased by $73 million to $242 million, primarily due to the
recognition of contingent consideration. The purchase price allocation
is subject to refinement as the Bank completes the valuation of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The following table presents the estimated fair values of the assets
and liabilities of Chrysler Financial as of the date of acquisition.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
b) U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking Acquisitions
in Fiscal 2010
On April 16, 2010, the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed
liabilities of Riverside National Bank of Florida (“Riverside”), First
Federal Bank of North Florida (“First Federal”) and AmericanFirst Bank
(“AmericanFirst”) in FDIC-assisted transactions. In addition, the Bank
entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC whereby the FDIC
shares in the losses on loans and certain real estate assets. Under the
terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC reimburses the Bank
for 50% of losses up to a threshold level for each bank ($449 million
for Riverside, $59 million for First Federal and $18 million for Ameri-
canFirst) and 80% of losses thereafter. The term of the loss sharing
agreements is ten years from the date of acquisition for single family
residential mortgages and five years (plus three years where only
recoveries will be shared) for other loans and real estate assets. At the
end of the loss sharing periods, the Bank may be required to make a
payment to the FDIC based on the actual losses incurred in relation to
the FDIC Intrinsic Loss Estimate as defined in the loss sharing agreements.
On September 30, 2010, the Bank acquired 100% of the outstand-
ing common shares of The South Financial Group, Inc. (South Financial)
for total consideration to common shareholders of approximately
$64 mil lion paid in cash and common shares in the amount of $11 mil -
lion and $53 million, respectively. Each common share of South Financial
was exchanged for US $0.28 cash or 0.004 of a Bank common share,
resulting in the issuance of approximately 720 thousand common
shares of the Bank. In addition, immediately prior to completion of the
transaction, the United States Department of the Treasury sold the
Bank its South Financial preferred stock and the associated warrant
acquired under the Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program and
discharged all accrued but unpaid dividends on that stock for total
cash consideration of approximately $134 million.
The acquisitions were accounted for by the purchase method. The
results from these acquisitions have been consolidated with the Bank’s
results for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010. The results
are included with TD Bank, N.A. and are reported in the U.S. Personal
and Commercial Banking segment. As at the acquisition dates, the
acquisitions contributed $2,184 million of net cash and cash equiva-
lents, $8,457 million of loans, $115 million of identifiable intangibles,
$4,021 million of other assets, $12,298 million of deposits and
$2,550 million of other liabilities to the Bank’s Consolidated Balance
Sheet. Included in loans is $2,127 million of covered loans. The esti-
mated fair value for loans reflects the expected credit losses at the
acquisition date.
During the period from the acquisition date to October 31, 2011,
goodwill decreased by $45 million to $271 million, primarily due to
the completion of the valuation of the loan portfolio. During 2011,
the purchase price allocation for Riverside, First Federal, AmericanFirst
and South Financial acquisitions were completed and finalized.
c) TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation
As at October 31, 2011, the Bank’s reported investment in TD Ameri-
trade Holding Corporation (TD Ameritrade) was 44.96% (October 31,
2010 – 45.93%) of the issued and outstanding shares of TD Ameritrade.
On August 6, 2010 and October 31, 2011, the Stockholders Agree-
ment was amended in each case such that: (i) the Bank has until
January 24, 2014 to reduce its ownership in TD Ameritrade to 45% if
the Bank’s ownership interest exceeds 45% as a result of authorized
repurchases of common stock by TD Ameritrade; (ii) the Bank is required
to commence reduction of its ownership in TD Ameritrade and continue
its reduction as long as it can be executed at a price per share equal to
or greater than the Bank’s then-applicable average carrying value per
share of TD Ameritrade; and (iii) in connection with stock repurchases
by TD Ameritrade, the Bank’s ownership interest in TD Ameritrade will
not exceed 48%.
In accordance with the Bank’s previously disclosed intention, the
Bank sold 17.3 million shares of TD Ameritrade during the year and
recognized a gain of $8.1 million on this sale.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid on acquisitions over
the fair value assigned to identifiable net assets including identifiable
intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized but is assessed for impair-
ment at least annually and when an event or change in circumstances
indicates that there may be an impairment. Goodwill is allocated to
reporting units that are either the operating business segment or the
reporting unit below the segment. Goodwill impairment is identified
by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit with its fair
value. Impairment in goodwill is charged to the Consolidated Statement
of Income in the period in which the impairment is identified. No
impairment write-downs were required for the years ended October 31,
2011, 2010, and 2009.

OTHER INTANGIBLES
The Bank’s other intangible assets consist primarily of core deposit
intangibles, computer software, and customer relationships. Other
intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life (3 to
20 years) on a straight-line basis for software and proportionate to
the expected economic benefit for the remaining other intangible
assets. Future amortization expense for the carrying amount of other
intangible assets is estimated to be as follows for the next five years:
2012 – $425 million; 2013 – $387 million; 2014 – $328 million;
2015 – $254 million; and 2016 – $199 million.
All other intangible assets are assessed for impairment when an event
or change in circumstances indicates that the assets might be impaired.
No significant impairment write-downs were required for the years
ended October 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

LAND, BUILDINGS, EQUIPMENT, AND OTHER DEPRECIABLE ASSETS
Buildings, computer equipment, furniture and fixtures, other equipment,
and leasehold improvements are recognized at cost less accumulated
depreciation and provisions for impairment, if any. Land is recognized
at cost. Gains and losses on disposal are included in non-interest
income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Properties or other assets leased under a capital lease are capitalized
and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term or estimated
useful life of the asset.
The Bank records the obligation associated with the retirement of a
long-lived asset at fair value in the period in which it is incurred and can
be reasonably estimated, and records a corresponding increase to the
carrying amount of the asset. The asset is depreciated on a straight- line
basis over its remaining useful life while the liability is accreted to reflect
the passage of time until the eventual settlement of the obligation.
Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the useful
lives of the assets estimated by asset category, as follows:
Assets
Buildings
Computer equipment
Furniture and fixtures
Other equipment
Leasehold improvements
Useful life
15 to 40 years
3 to 7 years

Depreciation expense amounted to $467 million for 2011 (2010 –
$601 million; 2009 – $600 million).
Depreciable assets are assessed for impairment when an event or
change in circumstance indicates that the asset might be impaired.
Impairment is considered to have occurred if the projected undiscounted
cash flows resulting from the use and eventual disposition of an asset
is less than its carrying value, at which point the asset would be written
down to its net recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized
in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the period in which the
impairment is identified.

NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID
The Bank did not have a normal course issuer bid outstanding during
fiscal 2011, 2010 or 2009.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
The Bank offers a dividend reinvestment plan for its common share-
holders. Participation in the plan is optional and under the terms of the
plan, cash dividends on common shares are used to purchase additional
common shares. At the option of the Bank, the common shares may
be issued from the Bank’s treasury at an average market price based
on the last five trading days before the date of the dividend payment,
with a discount of between 0% to 5% at the Bank’s discretion, or
from the open market at market price. During the year, a total of
8.6 million common shares were issued from the Bank’s treasury at a
discount of 1% (2010 – 7.7 million shares at a discount of 1%; 2009 –
8.8 million shares at a discount of 1%) under the dividend reinvest-
ment plan.
DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
The Bank is prohibited by the Bank Act from declaring dividends on
its preferred or common shares if there are reasonable grounds for
believing that the Bank is, or the payment would cause the Bank to be,
in contravention of the capital adequacy and liquidity regulations of
the Bank Act or directions of OSFI. The Bank does not anticipate that
this condition will restrict it from paying dividends in the normal
course of business.
The Bank is also restricted from paying dividends in the event that
either Trust II, Trust III or Trust IV fails to pay semi-annual distributions
or interest in full to holders of their respective trust securities, TD CaTS II,
TD CaTS III and TD CaTS IV Notes. In addition, the ability to pay divi-
dends on common shares without the approval of the holders of the
outstanding preferred shares is restricted unless all dividends on the
preferred shares have been declared and paid or set apart for payment.
Currently, these limitations do not restrict the payment of dividends
on common shares or preferred shares.
TD Bank US Holding Company is restricted from paying dividends
to its parent, TD US P&C Holdings ULC, in the event that either South
Financial Capital Trust 2007-I, South Financial Capital Trust 2007-II or
South Financial Capital Trust 2007-III fails to pay quarterly distributions
or interest in full to holders of their respective trust securities. Further,
in the case of South Financial Capital Trust 2007-II and South Financial
Capital Trust 2007-III, all subsidiaries of TD Bank US Holding Company
would be restricted from paying dividends in such an event.

The Bank is engaged in insurance businesses relating to property and
casualty insurance, life and health insurance, and reinsurance.
Premiums, net of reinsurance, for short-duration contracts, primarily
property and casualty, are deferred as unearned premiums and recog-
nized in other income on a pro rata basis over the terms of the poli-
cies. Unearned premiums and ceded unearned premiums, representing
the portion of net written premiums that pertain to the unexpired term
of the policies in force, are recorded in other liabilities. Premiums, net
of reinsurance, from long-duration contracts, primarily life insurance,
are recognized when due in other income.
Insurance claims and policy benefit liabilities represent current
claims and estimates for future insurance policy benefits, as deter-
mined by the appointed actuary in accordance with accepted actuarial
practice, and are included in other liabilities. The effect of changes in
actuarial assumptions on policy benefit liabilities was not material
during the year. Liabilities for property and casualty insurance repre-
sent estimated provisions for reported and unreported claims. Claims
relating to property and casualty insurance are expensed as incurred.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Bank operates various stock-based compensation plans. The Bank
uses the fair value method of accounting for all stock option awards.
Under the fair value method, the Bank recognizes compensation
expense based on the fair value of the options, which is determined by
using an option pricing model. The fair value of the options is recog-
nized as compensation expense and contributed surplus over the
service period required for employees to become fully entitled to the
award. The contributed surplus balance is reduced as the options are
exercised and the amount initially recorded for the options in contrib-
uted surplus is credited to capital stock.
STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Bank maintains a stock option program for certain key employees
and non-employee directors. Non-employee directors have not been
granted stock options since December 2001. Options on common
shares are periodically granted to eligible employees of the Bank under
the plan for terms of seven or ten years and vest over a four-year
period. These options provide holders with the right to purchase
common shares of the Bank at a fixed price equal to the closing
market price of the shares on the day prior to the date the options
were issued. Under this plan, 2.3 million common shares have been
reserved for future issuance (2010 – 4.0 million; 2009 – 5.7 million).
The outstanding options expire on various dates to December 13,
2020. A summary of the Bank’s stock option activity and related infor-
mation for the years ended October 31 is as follows:

The fair value of options granted was estimated at the date of grant
using a binomial tree-based valuation model. The following assump-
tions were used: (i) risk-free interest rate of 2.73% (2010 – 2.72%;
2009 – 2.17%); (ii) expected option life of 6.2 years (2010 – 6.2 years;
2009 – 5.6 years); iii) expected volatility of 26.6% (2010 – 26.6%;
2009 – 23.9%); and (iv) expected dividend yield of 3.3% (2010 –
3.2%; 2009 – 3.0%).
During the year, 1.7 million (2010 – 1.7 million; 2009 – 4.0 million)
options were granted with a weighted-average fair value of $15.47 per
option (2010 – $14.09 per option; 2009 – $7.62 per option). During
the year, the Bank recognized compensation expense in the Consoli-
dated Statement of Income of $27 million (2010 – $28 million; 2009 –
$30 mil lion) for the stock option awards granted.

OTHER STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The Bank operates restricted share unit and performance share unit
plans which are offered to certain employees of the Bank. Under these
plans, participants are awarded share units equivalent to the Bank’s
common shares that generally vest over three years. A liability is accrued
by the Bank related to such share units awarded and an incentive
compensation expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of
Income over the service period required for employees to become fully
entitled to the award. At the maturity date, the participant receives cash
representing the value of the share units. The final number of perfor-
mance share units will vary from 80% to 120% of the initial number
awarded based on the Bank’s total shareholder return relative to the
average of the North American peer group. Beginning with units granted
in December 2009, the Human Resources Committee of the Board
(HRC) has the discretion to adjust the number of restricted share units
and performance share units within a +/- 20% range at maturity at the
plan or individual level based on a review of the risk taken to achieve
business results over the life of the award; and, dividends will be
re-invested in additional units that will be paid at maturity. The number
of such share units outstanding under these plans as at October 31,
2011 is 14 million (2010 – 12 million; 2009 – 11 million).
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Bank also offers deferred share unit plans to eligible employees
and non-employee directors. Under these plans, a portion of the
participant’s annual incentive award and/or maturing share units may
be deferred as share units equivalent to the Bank’s common shares.
The deferred share units are not redeemable by the participant until
termination of employment or directorship. Once these conditions are
met, the deferred share unit must be redeemed for cash no later than
the end of the next calendar year. Dividend equivalents accrue to the
participants in the form of additional units. As at October 31, 2011,
3.0 million deferred share units were outstanding (2010 – 2.9 million;
2009 – 2.5 million).
Compensation expense for these plans is recorded in the year the
incentive award is earned by the plan participant. Changes in the value
of these plans are recorded, net of the effects of related hedges, in the
Consolidated Statement of Income. For the year ended October 31,
2011, the Bank recognized compensation expense, net of the effects
of hedges, for these plans of $279 million (2010 – $245 million;
2009 – $235 million). The compensation expense recognized before
the effects of hedges was $349 million (2010 – $418 million; 2009 –
$309 million).
EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP PLAN
The Bank also operates a share purchase plan available to employees.
Employees can contribute any amount of their eligible earnings (net
of source deductions) to the Employee Ownership Plan. The Bank
matches 100% of the first $250 of employee contributions each year
and the remainder of employee contributions at 50% to an overall
maximum of 3.5% of the employee’s eligible earnings or $2,250,
whichever comes first. The Bank’s contributions vest once an employee
has completed two years of continuous service with the Bank. For
the year ended October 31, 2011, the Bank’s contributions totalled
$59 million (2010 – $55 million; 2009 – $52 million) and were expensed
as salaries and employee benefits. As at October 31, 2011, an aggre-
gate of 9.0 million common shares were held under the Employee
Ownership Plan (2010 – 8.8 million; 2009 – 8.7 million). The shares in
the Employee Ownership Plan are purchased in the open market and
are considered outstanding for computing the Bank’s basic and diluted
earnings per share. Dividends earned on Bank common shares held by
the Employee Ownership Plan are used to purchase additional common
shares for the Employee Ownership Plan in the open market.

EMPLOYEE FUTURE BENEFITS
DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION AND OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT
BENEFIT (OPEB) PLANS
The Bank’s principal pension plans, consisting of The Pension Fund
Society of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the Society) and the TD
Pension Plan (Canada) (the TDPP), are defined benefit plans. In addition,
the Bank maintains other partially funded and non-funded pension
plans for eligible employees, for which pension benefits are paid by
the Bank. The Society was closed to new members on January 30,
2009 and the TDPP commenced on March 1, 2009. Benefits under the
principal pension plans are determined based upon the period of plan
participation and the average salary of the member in the best consec-
utive five years in the last 10 years of combined plan membership.
Funding for the Bank’s principal pension plans is provided by contri-
butions from the Bank and members of the plans as applicable. In
accordance with legislation, the Bank contributes amounts determined
on an actuarial basis to the plans and has the ultimate responsibility
for ensuring that the liabilities of the plan are adequately funded over
time. The Bank’s contributions to the principal pension plans during
2011 were $187 million (2010 – $168 million). These contributions
were made in accordance with the actuarial valuation reports for funding
purposes as at October 31, 2008 and March 1, 2009 for the Society
and the TDPP, respectively. The next valuation date for funding purposes
is as at October 31, 2011 for both of the principal pension plans.
The Bank also provides certain post-retirement benefits and post-
employment benefits (non-pension employee benefits), which are
generally non-funded. Non-pension employee benefit plans, where
offered, generally include health care, life insurance and dental bene-
fits. Employees must meet certain age and service requirements to
be eligible for post-retirement benefits and are generally required to
pay a portion of the cost of the benefits. Employees eligible for post-
employment benefits are those on disability and child-care leave.
For the principal pension plans and the principal non-pension post-
retirement benefit plan, actuarial valuations are prepared at least every
three years to determine the present value of the accrued benefit
lia bility. Pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit expenses
are determined based upon separate actuarial valuations using the
projected benefit method pro-rated on service and management’s best
estimates of expected long-term return on plan assets, compensation
increases, health care cost trend rate and discount rate, which are
reviewed annually by the Bank’s actuaries. The discount rate used to
value liabilities is based on long-term corporate AA bond yields as of
the measurement date. The expense includes the cost of benefits for
the current year’s service, interest expense on liabilities, expected
income on plan assets based on fair values and the amortization of
benefit plan amendments and actuarial gains or losses. Plan amend-
ments are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected average
remaining service life of the active members for the principal pension
plans (9 years for the Society and 11 years for the TDPP) and the
expected average remaining period to full eligibility for the principal
non-pension post-retirement benefit plan (6 years). The excess, if
any, of the net actuarial gain or loss over 10% of the greater of the
projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets is also
amortized over the expected average remaining service life of the
active members (9 years for the Society, 11 years for the TDPP, and
15 years for the principal non-pension post-retirement benefit plan).
The cumulative difference between expense and contributions is
reported in other assets or other liabilities.
PLAN ASSUMPTIONS
To develop the assumption for the expected long-term return on plan
assets for the Bank’s principal pension plans, the Bank considered the
historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset
class, as well as the investment policies of the principal pension plans.
This resulted in the selection of the assumption for the expected long-
term rate of return on plan assets of 6.50% (2010 – 6.75%) for the
Society and 4.00% (2010 – 4.25%) for the TDPP.
The rate of increase for health care costs for the next year used to
measure the expected cost of benefits covered for the principal non-
pension post-retirement benefit plan is 6.30%. The rate is assumed
to decrease gradually to 3.70% by the year 2028 and remain at that
level thereafter. For 2011, the effect of a one percentage point
increase or decrease in the health care cost trend rate on the benefit
expense is an $8 million increase and a $6 million decrease, respec-
tively, and on the benefit obligation, a $73 million increase and a
$58 million decrease, respectively.

OTHER PENSION AND RETIREMENT PLANS
CT Pension Plan
As a result of the acquisition of CT Financial Services Inc. (CT), the
Bank sponsors a pension plan consisting of a defined benefit portion
and a defined contribution portion. The defined benefit portion was
closed to new members after May 31, 1987, and newly eligible
employees joined the defined contribution portion of the plan. Effec-
tive August 18, 2002, the defined contribution portion of the plan
was closed to new contributions from the Bank or active employees,
except for employees on salary continuance and long-term disability,
and employees eligible for that plan became eligible to join the Society
or the TDPP for future service. The Bank received regulatory approval
to wind-up the defined contribution portion of the plan effective
April 1, 2011. After that date, the Bank’s contributions to the defined
contribution portion of the plan ceased. Funding for the defined bene-
fit portion is provided by contributions from the Bank and members
of the plan. For the defined contribution portion, annual pension
expense is equal to the Bank’s contributions to that portion of the plan.
TD Bank, N.A. (which includes TD Banknorth and Commerce)
Retirement Plans
TD Banknorth has a closed non-contributory defined benefit retirement
plan covering most permanent employees. Supplemental retirement
plans were adopted for certain key officers and limited post-retirement
benefit programs provide medical coverage and life insurance benefits
to a closed group of employees and directors who meet minimum age
and service requirements. Effective December 31, 2008, benefits under
the retirement and supplemental retirement plans were frozen.
In addition, TD Bank, N.A. and its subsidiaries maintain a defined
contribution 401(k) plan covering all employees. Effective January 1,
2009 the plan was amended to include a core contribution from TD
Bank, N.A. for all employees and a transition contribution for certain
employees. The additional amount contributed to the plan by TD Bank,
N.A. for fiscal 2011 was $34 million (2010 – $34 million; 2009 –
$31 million). In addition, on an ongoing basis, TD Bank, N.A., makes
matching contributions to the 401(k) plan. The amount of the match-
ing contribution for fiscal 2011 was $29 million (2010 – $28 million;
2009 – $18 million). For the defined contribution plan, annual pension
expense is equal to the Bank’s contributions to the plan.
The investment policy of the Society is a balanced portfolio. Debt
instruments of a single non-government entity must not exceed 10%
of the total debt portfolio. Non-government debt instruments generally
must meet or exceed a credit rating of BBB at the time of purchase
and during the holding period except that up to 20% of the fair value
of the bond mandate managed to the DEX Universe Bond Index may
be invested in bonds with a credit rating below BBB. There are no
limitations on the maximum amount allocated to each credit rating
within the debt portfolio. Futures contracts and options can be utilized
provided they do not create financial leverage for the Society. The
Society invests in hedge funds, which normally will employ leverage
when executing their investment strategy. The equity portfolio is
broadly diversified primarily across medium to large capitalization
quality companies and income trusts with no individual holding
exceeding 10% of the equity portfolio at any time. Foreign equities
and American Depository Receipts of similar high quality may also be
included to further diversify the portfolio. Alternative investments
include hedge funds and private equities. Substantially all assets must
have readily determinable fair values. The Society was in compliance
with its investment policy throughout the year. For 2011, the Society’s
net assets included private equity investments in the Bank and its
affiliates which had a fair value of $3 million (2010 – $4 million; 2009 –
$4 million).
The investment policy of the TDPP, which commenced on March 1,
2009, is a high-quality, long-term fixed income portfolio. Debt instru-
ments of non-government entities must not exceed 80% of the total
fund and non-Canadian government entities must not exceed 20%
of the total fund. Debt instruments of a single non-government or
non-Canadian government entity must not exceed 10% of the total
fund. All debt instruments must meet or exceed a credit rating of
BBB- (or equivalent) at the time of purchase and during the holding
period. In addition, any debt instruments that are rated from BBB+ to
BBB- (or equivalent) must not exceed 35% of the total fund. Asset
backed securities must have a minimum credit rating of AAA and must
not exceed 25% of the total fund. Substantially all assets must have
readily determinable fair values. The TDPP was in compliance with its
investment policy throughout the year.
RISK MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The principal pension plans’ investments include financial instruments
which are exposed to various risks. These risks include market risk
(including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and price risk), credit
risk, and liquidity risk. The principal pension plans manage these finan-
cial risks in accordance with the Pension Benefits Standards Act, 1985,
applicable regulations, and the principal pension plans’ Statement of
Investment Policies and Procedures. The following are some specific
risk management practices employed by the principal pension plans:
• Monitoring credit exposure of counterparties
• Monitoring adherence to asset allocation guidelines
• Monitoring asset class performance against benchmarks

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
TD Auto Finance (which includes Chrysler Financial)
Retirement Plans
TD Auto Finance has both contributory and non-contributory defined
benefit retirement plans covering most permanent employees. The
non-contributory pension plan provides benefits based on a fixed rate
for each year of service. The contributory plan provides benefits to
salaried employees based on the employee’s cumulative contributions,
years of service during which employee contributions were made, and
the employee’s average salary during the consecutive five years in
which the employee’s salary was highest in the 15 years preceding
retirement. In addition, TD Auto Finance provides limited post-retire-
ment benefit programs, including medical coverage and life insurance
benefits to certain employees who meet minimum age and service
requirements. As a result of the acquisition of Chrysler Financial on
April 1, 2011, obligations assumed and assets acquired related to the
Chrysler Financial Services Americas LLC retirement plans are now
included in the table below.
Supplemental Employee Retirement Plans
Supplemental employee retirement plans are partially funded by the
Bank for eligible employees.

INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS
As a result of acquisitions by the Bank and related integration and
restructuring initiatives, the Bank incurred integration costs of
$134 million during the year (2010 – $90 million; 2009 – $393 million).
Integration costs include costs related to information technology,
employee retention costs, external professional consulting charges,
marketing costs (including customer communication and rebranding),
and integration-related travel costs. In the Consolidated Statement of
Income, integration costs are included in non-interest expenses.
The Bank may also incur restructuring costs, which consist of certain
termination benefits, the cost of amending certain executive employment
and award agreements, contract termination costs, costs to consoli-
date facilities or relocate employees, and the write-down of long-lived
assets due to impairment. During 2011, there were no restructuring
costs that were incurred by the Bank (2010 – $17 million; 2009 –
$36 million). In the Consolidated Statement of Income, these costs are
included in restructuring costs.
As at October 31, 2011, the total unutilized balance of restructuring
costs of $5 million (2010 – $11 million; 2009 – $20 million) shown in
the following table is included in other liabilities in the Consolidated

The Bank recognizes both the current and future income tax of all
transactions that have been recognized in the 2011 Consolidated
Financial Statements. Future income tax assets and liabilities are deter-
mined based on the tax rates that are expected to apply when the
assets or liabilities are reported for tax purposes. The Bank records a
valuation allowance to the extent the future tax asset exceeds the
amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Earnings of certain subsidiaries are subject to additional tax upon
repatriation. The Bank has not recognized a future income tax liability
for this additional tax since it does not currently plan to repatriate
the undistributed earnings. If all the undistributed earnings of the
operations of these subsidiaries were repatriated, estimated additional
taxes payable would be $494 million as at October 31, 2011 (2010 –
$409 million).
1 In 2010, the Bank reached an agreement with the Canada Revenue Agency
(CRA) that resulted in a $121 million increase in the provision for income taxes.
The agreement provides resolution to a number of outstanding tax matters
related to certain discontinued strategies in the Wholesale Banking segment.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available
to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the same method as
basic earnings per share except that the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding includes the potential dilutive effect of
stock options granted by the Bank as determined under the treasury
stock method. The treasury stock method determines the number of
additional common shares by assuming that the outstanding stock
options, whose exercise price is less than the average market price of
the Bank’s common stock during the period, are exercised and then
reduced by the number of common shares assumed to be repurchased
with the exercise proceeds. Such potential dilution is not recognized
in a loss period.

1 For 2011, the computation of diluted earnings per share did not exclude any options
as there were no options where the option price was greater than the average market
price of the Bank’s common shares. For 2010, the computation of diluted earnings
per share excluded weighted-average options outstanding of 2,723 thousand with a
weighted-average exercise price of $70.41 as the option price was greater than the
average market price of the Bank’s common shares. For 2009, the computation
of diluted earnings per share excluded weighted-average options outstanding of
14,292 thousand with a weighted-average exercise price of $64.44 as the option
price was greater than the average market price of the Bank’s common shares.

SEGMENTED INFORMATION
For management reporting purposes, the Bank’s operations and
activities are organized around four key business segments: Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking (CAD P&C) including TD Canada
Trust, TD Insurance and TD Auto Finance Canada; Wealth Manage-
ment, including TD Waterhouse and an investment in TD Ameritrade;
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking (U.S. P&C), including TD Bank,
America’s Most Convenient Bank and TD Auto Finance U.S.; and
Wholesale Banking, including TD Securities. Integration charges related
to the acquisition of Chrysler Financial and the Bank’s other activities
are reported in the Corporate segment.
CAD P&C comprises the Bank’s personal and business banking in
Canada and provides financial products and services to personal, small
business, insurance, and commercial customers. Wealth Management
provides investment products and services to institutional and retail
investors and includes the Bank’s equity investment in TD Ameritrade.
U.S. P&C provides commercial banking, mortgage banking and other
financial services in the U.S., primarily in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic
regions and Florida. Wholesale Banking provides financial products
and services to corporate, government, and institutional customers.
The Bank’s other activities are grouped into the Corporate segment.
The Corporate segment includes the effects of asset securitization
programs, treasury management, general provision for credit losses in
CAD P&C and Wholesale Banking, elimination of taxable equivalent
adjustments and other management reclassifications, corporate level
tax benefits, and residual unallocated revenue and expenses.
Effective November 1, 2010, operating results and associated loans for
the U.S. credit cards business were transferred from CAD P&C to U.S.
P&C for segment reporting purposes. In addition, the Bank has imple-
mented a change in its allocation methodologies whereby certain items
previously reported in the Corporate segment are now being allocated to
other segments. Prior period results were not reclassified. Effective July 4,
2011, executive responsibilities for the TD Insurance business were
moved from Group Head, Canadian Banking, Auto Finance, and Credit
Cards, TD to the Group Head, Wealth Management, Insurance and
Corporate Shared Services, TD. The Bank is currently finalizing its future
reporting format and will update its segmented information effective
November 1, 2011. These changes will be applied retroactively to 2011.
The results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses,
and assets generated by the businesses in that segment. Due to the
complexity of the Bank, its management reporting model uses various
estimates, assumptions, allocations and risk-based methodologies for
funds transfer pricing, inter-segment revenue, income tax rates, capital,
indirect expenses and cost transfers to measure business segment
results. Transfer pricing of funds is generally applied at market rates.
Inter-segment revenue is negotiated between each business segment
and approximate the fair value of the services provided. Income tax
provision or recovery is generally applied to each segment based on a
statutory tax rate and may be adjusted for items and activities unique
to each segment. Amortization of intangible expense is included in the
Corporate segment. Accordingly, net income for business segments
is presented before amortization of intangibles.
Net interest income within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a
taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means that the value of non-
taxable or tax-exempt income, including dividends, is adjusted to its
equivalent before-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure
income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more
meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions.
The TEB adjustment reflected in Wholesale Banking is reversed in the
Corporate segment.
As noted in Note 5, the Bank securitizes retail loans and receivables
held by CAD P&C in transactions that are accounted for as sales. For
the purpose of segmented reporting, CAD P&C accounts for the trans-
actions as though they are financing arrangements. Accordingly, the
interest income earned on the assets sold net of the funding costs
incurred by the purchaser trusts is recorded in net interest income and
impairment related to these assets is charged to provision for (reversal
of) credit losses. This accounting is reversed in the Corporate segment
and the gain recognized on sale which is in compliance with GAAP
together with income earned on the retained interests net of credit
losses incurred are included in other income.
The Bank purchases credit default swaps (CDS) to hedge the credit
risk in Wholesale Banking’s corporate lending portfolio. These CDS do
not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are measured at fair
value with changes in fair value recognized in current period’s earnings.
The related loans are accounted for at amortized cost. Management
believes that this asymmetry in the accounting treatment between CDS
and loans would result in volatility in earnings from period to period
which is not indicative of the economics of the corporate loan portfolio
or the underlying business performance in Wholesale Banking. As a
result, the CDS are accounted for on an accrual basis in Wholesale
Banking and the gains and losses on the CDS, in excess of the accrued
cost, are reported in the Corporate segment.
As discussed in Note 3, the Bank reclassified certain debt securities
from trading to the available-for-sale category effective August 1,
2008. As part of the Bank’s trading strategy, these debt securities are
economically hedged, primarily with CDS and interest rate swap
contracts. These derivatives are not eligible for reclassifi cation and are
recorded on a fair value basis with changes in fair value recorded in
the period’s earnings. Management believes that this asymmetry in the
accounting treatment between derivatives and the reclassified debt
securities results in volatility in earnings from period to period that is
not indicative of the economics of the underlying business performance
in Wholesale Banking. As a result, the derivatives are accounted for
on an accrual basis in Wholesale Banking and the gains and losses
related to the derivatives, in excess of the accrued costs, are reported
in the Corporate segment.

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank also provides various
banking services to associated and other related corporations on terms
similar to those offered to non-related parties.
TRANSACTIONS WITH EQUITY-ACCOUNTED INVESTEES
TD AMERITRADE
Pursuant to a Stockholders Agreement in relation to the Bank’s equity
investment in TD Ameritrade, the Bank designated five of twelve
members of TD Ameritrade’s Board of Directors including our CEO and
two independent directors of TD.
A description of significant transactions of the Bank and its affiliates
with TD Ameritrade is set forth below.
Insured Deposit Account (formerly known as Money Market
Deposit Account) Agreement
The Bank is party to an insured deposit account (IDA) agreement with
TD Ameritrade, pursuant to which the Bank makes available to clients
of TD Ameritrade IDAs as designated sweep vehicles. TD Ameritrade
provides marketing and support services with respect to the IDA. The
Bank paid fees of $762 million in 2011 (2010 – $714 million; 2009 –
$654 million) to TD Ameritrade for the deposit accounts. The fee paid by
the Bank is based on the average insured deposit balance of $48.4 bil lion
in 2011 (2010 – $39.2 billion) with a portion of the fee tied to the
actual yield earned by the Bank on the investments, less the actual
interest paid to clients of TD Ameritrade, with the balance based on
an agreed rate of return. The Bank earns a flat fee of 25 basis points
and is reimbursed for the cost of FDIC insurance premiums.
As at October 31, 2011, amounts receivable from TD Ameritrade were
$97 million (2010 – $53 million). As at October 31, 2011, amounts
payable to TD Ameritrade were $84 million (2010 – $82 million).
SYMCOR
The Bank has a one-third ownership in Symcor Inc. (Symcor), a Canadian
provider of business process outsourcing services offering a diverse
portfolio of integrated solutions in item processing, statement process-
ing and production, and cash management services. The Bank accounts
for Symcor’s results using the equity method of accounting. During
the year, the Bank paid $139 million (2010 – $135 million; 2009 –
$164 million) for these services. As at October 31, 2011, the amount
payable to Symcor was $12 million (2010 – $12 million).
N O T E 2 9
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES, PLEDGED ASSETS, AND COLLATERAL
LITIGATION
The Bank and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal actions in
the ordinary course of business. Contingent loss accruals are estab-
lished when it becomes likely that the Bank will incur an expense and
the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Bank may incur losses
in addition to the amounts accrued where the loss is greater than
estimated by management, or for matters when an unfavourable
outcome is reasonably possible, but not probable. The Bank believes
the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses,
in excess of contingent loss accruals, for its legal proceedings where
it is possible to make such an estimate, is from nil to approximately
$665 million as at October 31, 2011. This estimated aggregate range
of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available informa-
tion for those proceedings in which the Bank is involved, taking into
account the Bank’s best estimate of such losses for those cases which
an estimate can be made. For certain cases, the Bank does not believe
that an estimate can currently be made as many of them are in prelimi-
nary stages and certain cases have no specific amount claimed. The
Bank’s estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages
of the proceedings and the existence of multiple defendants in many
of such proceedings whose share of liability has yet to be determined.
The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to
time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate.
In management’s opinion, based on its current knowledge and after
consultation with counsel, the Bank believes that the ultimate disposi-
tion of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have
a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or the
consolidated cash flows of the Bank. However, in light of the uncer-
tainties involved in such proceedings, some of which are beyond the
Bank’s control, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of those legal
actions may be material to the Bank’s consolidated results of operations
for any particular reporting period.
The following is a description of the Bank’s material legal proceedings.
Multidistrict Overdraft Litigation
TD Bank, N.A. has been named as a defendant in four putative nation-
wide class actions in challenging the manner in which it calculates and
collects overdraft fees. The actions have all been transferred to the
federal court in the Southern District of Florida for pre-trial proceed-
ings in conjunction with similar actions pending against other banks.
Plaintiffs challenge generally but not exclusively the manner in which
debit transactions are batched and posted, by high to low amount
rather than time of transaction. They claim that the posting method
and related practices breach an implied covenant of good faith in the
customer agreement, constitute unfair and deceptive acts and prac-
tices, cause a conversion of the customers’ property, and otherwise
render the Bank liable for compensatory damages in the amount of all
overdraft fees collected as a result of the challenged practices, punitive
damages, injunctive relief terminating the challenged practices, and
attorneys fees, costs and interest. The Bank’s motion to dismiss the
actions has been denied, and discovery has commenced.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
COMMITMENTS
Credit-related Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into various com -
mitments and contingent liability contracts. The primary purpose
of these contracts is to make funds available for the financing needs
of customers. The Bank’s policy for requiring collateral security with
respect to these contracts and the types of collateral security held is
generally the same as for loans made by the Bank.
Financial and performance standby letters of credit represent irrevo-
cable assurances that the Bank will make payments in the event that
a customer cannot meet its obligations to third parties and they carry
the same credit risk, recourse and collateral security requirements as
loans extended to customers. See also the Guarantees section below
for further details.
Documentary and commercial letters of credit are instruments issued
on behalf of a customer authorizing a third party to draw drafts on the
Bank up to a certain amount subject to specific terms and conditions.
The Bank is at risk for any drafts drawn that are not ultimately settled
by the customer, and the amounts are collateralized by the assets to
which they relate.
Commitments to extend credit represent unutilized portions of autho -
rizations to extend credit in the form of loans and customers’ liability
under acceptances. A discussion on the types of liquidity facilities the
Bank provides to its securitization conduits is included in Note 6.
The values of credit instruments reported below represent the maxi-
mum amount of additional credit that the Bank could be obligated to
extend should contracts be fully utilized.

1 Commitments to extend credit exclude personal lines of credit and credit card lines,
which are unconditionally cancellable at the Bank’s discretion at any time.
In addition, the Bank is committed to fund $345 million (2010 –
$423 mil lion) of private equity investments.
Long-term Commitments or Leases
The Bank has obligations under long-term non-cancellable leases for
premises and equipment. Future minimum operating lease commit-
ments for premises and for equipment, where the annual rental is
in excess of $100 thousand, is estimated at $621 million for 2012;
$619 million for 2013; $587 million for 2014; $534 million for 2015,
$483 million for 2016, and $2,677 million for 2017 and thereafter.
Future minimum capital lease commitments where the annual
payment is in excess of $100 thousand, is estimated at $34 million for
2012; $33 million for 2013; $32 million for 2014; $18 million for
2015, $14 million for 2016, and $18 million for 2017 and thereafter.
The premises and equipment net rental expense, included under
non-interest expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income, for
the year ended October 31, 2011 was $876 million (2010 – $786 million;
2009 – $844 million).
Pledged Assets, Repurchase Agreements and Collateral
In the ordinary course of business, securities and other assets are
pledged against liabilities. As at October 31, 2011, securities and other
assets with a carrying value of $49 billion (2010 – $46 billion) were
pledged in respect of securities sold short or under repurchase agree-
ments. As at October 31, 2011, $7.4 billion (2010 – $2.2 billion) of
consumer instalment and other personal loan assets were also pledged
in respect of covered bonds issued by the Bank. These assets were
sold by the Bank to a VIE which is consolidated by the Bank. In addi-
tion, as at October 31, 2011, assets with a carrying value of $18 billion
(2010 – $17 billion) were deposited for the purposes of participation
in clearing and payment systems and depositories or to have access
to the facilities of central banks in foreign jurisdictions, or as security
for contract settlements with derivative exchanges or other derivative
counterparties.
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into security
lending arrangements where it agrees to lend unpaid customer securi-
ties, or its own securities, to borrowers on a fully collateralized basis.
Securities lent as at October 31, 2011 amounted to $16 billion (2010 –
$12 billion).
In addition, the Bank may accept financial assets as collateral that
the Bank is permitted to sell or repledge in the absence of default.
These transactions are conducted under terms that are usual and
customary to standard lending, and security borrowing and lending
activities. As at October 31, 2011, the fair value of financial assets
accepted as collateral that the Bank is permitted to sell or repledge in
the absence of default is $26.2 billion (2010 – $24.2 billion). The fair
value of financial assets accepted as collateral that has been sold or
repledged (excluding cash collateral) was $8.6 billion as at October 31,
2011 (2010 – $6.7 billion).
Assets Sold with Recourse
In connection with its securitization activities, the Bank typically makes
customary representations and warranties about the underlying assets
in which the Bank may have an obligation to repurchase the assets.
The nature of these representations and warranties are for the Bank,
as the seller, to represent that the Bank has executed the sale of assets
in good faith, and in compliance with relevant laws and contractual
requirements. In the event that they do not meet these criteria, the
loans may be required to be repurchased by the Bank. A contingent
repurchase obligation does not by itself preclude sale treatment if the
transferor does not maintain effective control over the specific trans-
ferred assets as at the date of transfer.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
GUARANTEES
Guarantees issued by the Bank include contracts that require payments
to be made to the guaranteed party based on: (i) changes in the
underlying economic characteristics relating to an asset or liability of
the guaranteed party; (ii) failure of another party to perform under an
obligating agreement; or (iii) failure of another third party to pay its
indebtedness when due. Guarantees are initially measured and recorded
at their fair value. The Bank’s release from risk is recognized over the
term of the guarantee using a systematic and rational amortization
method. If the guarantee qualifies as a derivative, they are remeasured
at fair value at each balance sheet date and reported as derivatives
in other assets or other liabilities as appropriate. The following types
of transactions represent the principal guarantees that the Bank
has entered into.
Written options can be used by the counterparty to hedge foreign
exchange, equity, credit, commodity and interest rate risks. The Bank
does not track, for accounting purposes, whether its clients enter into
these derivative contracts for trading or hedging purposes and has not
determined if the guaranteed party has the asset or liability related to
the underlying. Accordingly, the Bank cannot ascertain which contracts
are guarantees under the definition contained in the accounting guide-
line for disclosure of guarantees. The Bank employs a risk framework
to define risk tolerances and establishes limits designed to ensure that
losses do not exceed acceptable, pre-defined limits. Due to the nature
of these contracts, the Bank cannot make a reasonable estimate of the
potential maximum amount payable to the counterparties. The total
notional principal amount of the written options as at October 31,
2011 is $126 billion (2010 – $120 billion).
Assets Sold with Contingent Repurchase Obligations
The Bank sells mortgage loans to the TD Mortgage Fund (the “Fund”),
a mutual fund managed by the Bank. The mortgage loans are fully
collateralized by residential properties and are government guaran-
teed. The Bank continues to service the mortgages. As part of its
servicing responsibilities, the Bank has an obligation to repurchase
mortgage loans when they default for an amount equal to their carrying
amount. Any losses on the repurchased defaulted mortgages are
recovered through the government guarantee. In addition, if the Fund
experiences a liquidity event such that it does not have sufficient
cash to honour unitholder redemptions, it has the option to sell the
mortgage loans back to the Bank at their fair value. These contingent
repurchase obligations do not preclude sale treatment as the Bank
does not maintain effective control over these mortgage loans as at
the date of transfer. Generally, the term of these agreements do not
exceed five years.
Credit Enhancements
The Bank guarantees payments to counterparties in the event that
third party credit enhancements supporting asset pools are insufficient.
Generally, the term of these credit facilities do not exceed 13 years.
Written Options
Written options are agreements under which the Bank grants the buyer
the future right, but not the obligation, to sell or buy at or by a speci-
fied date, a specific amount of a financial instrument at a price agreed
when the option is arranged and which can be physically or cash settled.
Indemnification Agreements
In the normal course of operations, the Bank provides indemnification
agreements to various counterparties in transactions such as service
agreements, leasing transactions, and agreements relating to acquisi-
tions and dispositions. Under these agreements, the Bank is required
to compensate counterparties for costs incurred as a result of various
contingencies such as changes in laws and regulations and litigation
claims. The nature of certain indemnification agreements prevents the
Bank from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential
amount that the Bank would be required to pay such counterparties.
The Bank also indemnifies directors, officers and other persons, to
the extent permitted by law, against certain claims that may be made
against them as a result of their services to the Bank or, at the Bank’s
request, to another entity.
The table below summarizes as at October 31, the maximum potential
amount of future payments that could be made under guarantees
without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions
or from collateral held or pledged.

INTEREST RATE RISK
The Bank earns and pays interest on certain assets and liabilities. To
the extent that the assets, liabilities and financial instruments mature
or reprice at different points in time, the Bank is exposed to interest
rate risk. The table on the following page details interest-rate sensitive
instruments by the earlier of the maturity or repricing date. Contractual
repricing dates may be adjusted according to management’s estimates
for prepayments or early redemptions that are independent of changes
in interest rates. Certain assets and liabilities are shown as non-rate
sensitive although the profile assumed for actual management may be
different. Derivatives are presented in the floating rate category.

CREDIT RISK
Concentration of credit risk exists where a number of borrowers or
counterparties are engaged in similar activities, are located in the
same geographic area or have comparable economic characteristics.
Their ability to meet contractual obligations may be similarly affected
by changing economic, political or other conditions. The Bank’s
portfolio could be sensitive to changing conditions in particular
geographic regions.

4 As at October 31, 2011, the current replacement cost of derivative financial
segment which equalled or exceeded 5% of the total concentration as at October 31,
2011 was: Real estate 9% (2010 – 10%).
2 As at October 31, 2011, the Bank had commitments and contingent liability
contracts in the amount of $88,575 million (2010 – $85,501 million). Included are
commitments to extend credit totalling $73,700 million (2010 – $70,940 million),
of which the credit risk is dispersed as detailed in the table above.
3 Of the commitments to extend credit, industry segments which equalled or
exceeded 5% of the total concentration were as follows as at October 31, 2011:
Financial institutions 20% (2010 – 22%); pipelines, oil and gas 12% (2010 –
11%); government, public sector entities and education 8% (2010 – 9%); sundry
manufacturing and wholesale 7% (2010 – 3%); power and utilities 7% (2010 – 6%);
telecommunications, cable and media 7% (2010 – 7%); automotive 6% (2010 – 3%).
instruments amounted to $59,645 million (2010 – $51,071 million). Based on the
location of the ultimate counterparty, the credit risk was allocated as detailed in
the table above. The table excludes the fair value of exchange traded derivatives.
5 The largest concentration by counterparty type was with financial institutions
(including non banking financial institutions), which accounted for 83% of the

Credit Quality of Financial Assets
The following table provides the on and off-balance sheet exposures
by risk-weight for certain financial assets that are subject to the stan-
dardized approach to credit risk. Under the standardized approach,
assets receive an OSFI-prescribed risk-weight based on factors including
counterparty type, product type, collateral and external credit assess-
ments. These assets relate primarily to the Bank’s U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking portfolio. Refer to the Managing Risk – Credit
Risk section of the MD&A for a discussion on the risk rating for the
standardized approach.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
The following tables provide the on and off-balance sheet exposures
by risk rating for certain non-retail and retail financial assets that are
subject to the Advanced Internal Rating Based (AIRB) approach to
credit risk in the Basel II Capital Accord. Under the AIRB approach,
assets receive a risk rating based on internal models of the Bank’s
historical loss experience (by counterparty type) and on other key risk
assumptions. Refer to the Managing Risk – Credit Risk section of the
MD&A for a discussion on the credit risk rating for non-retail and retail
exposures subject to the AIRB approach.

TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
For regulatory capital purposes, insurance subsidiaries continue to
be deconsolidated and reported as a deduction from capital. Insurance
subsidiaries are subject to their own capital adequacy reporting such
as OSFI’s Minimum Continuing Capital Surplus Requirements and the
Minimum Capital Test. Currently, for regulatory capital purposes, all
the entities of the Bank are either consolidated or deducted from capi-
tal and there are no entities from which surplus capital is recognized.
During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Bank complied with
the OSFI guideline related to capital ratios and the assets-to-capital
multiple. This guideline is based on the “International Convergence of
Capital Measurement and Capital Standards – A Revised Framework”
(Basel II) issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The
Bank’s regulatory capital position as at October 31 was as follows:

1 Tier 1 capital ratio is calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted
assets (RWA).
2 Total capital includes Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
3 Total capital ratio is calculated as Total capital divided by RWA.
4 The assets-to-capital multiple is calculated as total assets plus off-balance sheet
credit instruments, such as certain letters of credit and guarantees, less investments
in associated corporations, goodwill and net intangibles, divided by Total
adjusted capital.
OSFI’s target Tier 1 and Total capital ratios for Canadian banks are 7%
and 10%, respectively.
N O T E 3 2
REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Bank manages its capital under guidelines established by OSFI. The
regulatory capital guidelines measure capital in relation to credit, market
and operational risks. The Bank has various capital policies, procedures
and controls which it utilizes to achieve its goals and objectives.
The Bank’s objectives include:
• To be an appropriately capitalized financial institution as
determined by:
– The Bank’s Risk Appetite Statement;
– Capital requirements defined by relevant regulatory authorities;
and,
– The Bank’s internal assessment of capital requirements consistent
with the Bank’s risk tolerance levels.
• To have the most economically achievable weighted average cost
of capital (after tax), consistent with preserving the appropriate mix
of capital elements to meet targeted capitalization levels.
• To ensure ready access to sources of appropriate capital, at reasonable
cost, in order to:
– Insulate the Bank from unexpected events;
– Facilitate acquisitions; or,
– Support business expansion.
• To support strong external debt ratings, in order to manage the Bank’s
overall cost of funds and to maintain accessibility to required funding.
The Bank’s Total capital consists of two tiers of capital approved under
OSFI’s regulatory capital guidelines.
Tier 1 capital includes items such as common shares and preferred
shares, retained earnings, contributed surplus, innovative capital
instruments and qualifying non-controlling interests in subsidiaries.
Tier 1 capital is reduced by items such as goodwill and net intangible
assets (in excess of the 5% limit), 50% of the shortfall in allowances
related to the Internal Ratings Based (IRB) approach portfolios, 50% of
substantial investments and deductions from securitization investments.
Tier 2 capital includes items such as the general allowance for stan-
dardized portfolios and subordinated notes and debentures. Tier 2
capital is reduced by items such as 50% of the shortfall in allowances
related to IRB approach portfolios, 50% of substantial investments,
investments in insurance subsidiaries and deductions from securitiza-
tion investments.

TRANSITION TO IFRS
As noted in Note 1, the Bank is transitioning to IFRS effective for
interim and annual periods beginning November 1, 2011. The Bank is
required to prepare an opening IFRS Balance Sheet as at November 1,
2010, the date of transition to IFRS which forms the starting point for
its financial reporting in accordance with IFRS.
In preparing the opening IFRS Balance Sheet as at November 1,
2010 the Bank has applied the requirements of IFRS 1. IFRS 1 requires
first-time adopters to retrospectively apply all effective IFRS. However,
IFRS 1 provides for certain elective exemptions and certain mandatory
exceptions from full retrospective application of IFRS as further
described herein. The relevant mandatory exceptions include:
• Derecognition of Financial Instruments (Securitizations)
• Hedge Accounting
The elective exemptions taken by the Bank include:
• Employee Benefits
• Business Combinations
• Designation of Financial Instruments
• Cumulative Translation Differences
All other adjustments below relate to differences between Canadian
GAAP and IFRS. The Bank’s estimates under IFRS are consistent with
estimates previously made under Canadian GAAP at the same date,
after adjusting for differences in accounting policies.
The following is a reconciliation of the Bank’s opening balance sheet
from Canadian GAAP to IFRS.

DESCRIPTION OF SIGNIFICANT MEASUREMENT AND
PRESENTATION DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN GAAP
AND IFRS
Set forth below are the Bank’s key differences between Canadian
GAAP and IFRS, including elections and financial statement presenta-
tion changes.
a) Derecognition of Financial Instruments (Securitizations):
Mandatory Exception
The Bank has elected to apply the derecognition provisions of IAS 39,
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, on a retrospec-
tive basis for transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2004. In
accordance with an OSFI statement issued February 2011, transactions
occurring before January 1, 2004 were not adjusted upon transition
to IFRS pursuant to IFRS 1. IFRS 1 permits the Bank to apply the
derecognition provisions of IAS 39 to all transactions occurring before
a date of the Bank’s choosing, provided the information required to
apply IAS 39 was obtained at the time of initially accounting for
those transactions.
Under Canadian GAAP, the Bank derecognized financial assets that
were transferred in a securitization to an SPE when control over the
financial assets was transferred to third parties and consideration other
than a beneficial interest in the transferred assets was received. A gain
or loss on sale of the financial assets was recognized immediately in
other income after the effects of hedges on the financial assets sold,
if applicable. For transfers of certain mortgage backed securities (MBS)
under the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) Canada
Mortgage Bond (CMB) Program to the Canada Housing Trust (CHT),
the Bank also enters into a seller swap with CHT. Under the seller swap
agreement the Bank receives MBS interests and agrees to pay CMB
interests to CHT. This seller swap was recorded as a derivative under
Canadian GAAP at the time of sale. The seller swap agreement also
requires the Bank to establish a segregated account for reinvestment
(the “Principal Reinvestment Account” or “PRA”) of any payments it
receives that constitutes principal repayment in order to meet the
principal repayment obligation upon the maturity of the CMBs. This

repayment of principal is reinvested in certain trust permitted invest-
ments determined by the Bank. Under Canadian GAAP, the financial
assets transferred under the CMHC program to CHT qualified as sales
and were derecognized from the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Under Canadian GAAP, where the Bank securitized mortgages with
CMHC and received an MBS but had not sold the MBS to a third party,
the resulting security remained on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance
Sheet and was classified as available-for-sale.
Under IFRS, the Bank derecognizes a financial asset where the
contractual rights to that asset have expired. Derecognition may also
be appropriate where the contractual right to receive future cash flows
from the asset have been transferred, or where the Bank retains the
rights to future cash flows from the asset but assumes an obligation to
pay those cash flows to a third party subject to certain criteria.
When the Bank transfers a financial asset, it is necessary to assess
the extent to which the Bank has retained the risks and rewards of
ownership of the transferred asset. If substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial assets have been retained, the
Bank continues to recognize the asset and the transfer is accounted for
as a secured borrowing transaction. If substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial assets have been transferred, the
Bank will derecognize the asset and recognize separately as assets or
liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer.
If the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial assets, the Bank derecognizes
the asset where it has relinquished control of the financial asset. The
Bank is considered to have relinquished control of the financial asset
where the transferee has the practical ability to sell the transferred
financial asset. Where the Bank has retained control of the financial
asset, it continues to recognize the financial asset to the extent of its
continuing involvement in the financial asset.
As a result of the differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS,
most transfers of securitized financial assets that previously qualified
for derecognition under Canadian GAAP, will no longer qualify for
derecognition under IFRS. For example, certain transfers of MBS under
the CMHC CMB Program to CHT will not qualify for derecognition.
149
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
These transfers will be accounted for as secured borrowing transac-
tions under IFRS, resulting in the recognition of securitization liabilities
for the proceeds received on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
This difference in accounting under IFRS has resulted in the following
adjustments to the Bank’s IFRS consolidated financial statements:
• Securitized mortgages which were off-balance sheet under Canadian
GAAP have been recognized on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance
Sheet, resulting in an increase in residential loans, an increase in
trading loans, and a decrease in retained interests
• Securitization liabilities not previously required under Canadian GAAP
have been recognized on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet,
resulting in an increase in securitization liabilities at amortized cost
and securitization liabilities at fair value.
• The seller swap previously recorded under Canadian GAAP, no longer
exists under IFRS, as the payable portion of the swap is captured as
part of the securitization liabilities recognized under IFRS. Similarly,
the receivable portion of the swap is captured as part of securitized
mortgages recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet under
IFRS. The derecognition of the seller swap upon transition results in
a reduction of derivative assets or derivative liabilities on the Bank’s
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
• The Bank will no longer record securitization gains or losses upon
the transfer of financial assets that fail derecognition. Gains and
losses relating to assets recorded on the Bank’s Consolidated
Balance Sheet on transition have been reversed. Certain transaction
costs that were previously recorded as part of securitization gains
or losses have been capitalized against securitization liabilities.
• Retained earnings have increased as a result of interest income
earned on securitized mortgages which have been recognized on
the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet under IFRS.
• Retained earnings have decreased as a result of interest expense
recorded relating to securitization liabilities which have been recog-
nized on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet under IFRS.
• Under IFRS, assets transferred to the PRA account no longer quali-
fies for derecognition, as the Bank maintains the risk and rewards
of ownership of those financial assets. These assets have been
recognized on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet resulting in
an increase to residential loans, an increase to trading assets,
and a decrease to obligation related to securities sold under repur-
chase agreements.
• Where the Bank has securitized mortgages with CMHC and has
received an MBS but has not sold the MBS to a third party, the MBS
remains on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as a mortgage.
As a result, upon transition to IFRS, available-for-sale securities have
decreased and residential mortgages have increased.
The total impact to the Bank’s IFRS opening Consolidated Balance
Sheet is disclosed in the table below:

The total impact to the Bank’s IFRS opening equity was a decrease of
$415 million, comprised of an increase to accumulated other compre-
hensive income of $25 million and a decrease to retained earnings of
$440 million.
b) Hedge Accounting: Mandatory Exception
Hedge accounting can only be applied to hedging relationships that
meet the IFRS hedge accounting criteria upon transition to IFRS. All
hedging relationships that qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS
have been documented on the transition date.
Under Canadian GAAP, where a purchased option is a hedging
instrument in a designated cash flow hedge accounting relationship,
the assessment of effectiveness may be based on the option’s terminal
value and where certain circumstances are met, an entity can assume
no ineffectiveness and the entire change in fair value of the option
can be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. Under
IFRS, an entity must specifically indicate whether the time value is
included or excluded from a hedging relationship and must assess the
option for effectiveness. If the time value of the option is excluded,
changes in the options fair value due to time value are recognized
directly in earnings. At transition date, where options were designated
in cash flow hedge accounting relationships, the Bank excluded the
changes in fair value of the option due to time value from the hedging
relationship. The impact to the Bank’s IFRS opening Consolidated
Balance Sheet as at November 1, 2010 was an increase to accumulated
other comprehensive income of $73 million, and a decrease to opening
retained earnings of $73 million.
c) Employee Benefits
i) Employee Benefits: Elective Exemption
The Bank has elected to recognize unamortized actuarial gains or losses
in its IFRS opening retained earnings. The impact of this election to
the Bank’s IFRS opening Consolidated Balance Sheet as at November 1,
2010 was a decrease to other assets of $933 million, an increase to
deferred tax assets of $309 million, an increase to other liabilities of
$196 million, and a decrease to opening retained earnings of
$820 million.
ii) Employee Benefits: Other Differences between Canadian GAAP
and IFRS Measurement Date
Under Canadian GAAP, the defined benefit obligation and plan assets
may be measured up to three months prior to the date of the financial
statements as long as the measurement date is applied consistently.
Under Canadian GAAP, the Bank measured the obligation and assets
of its principal pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit plans
as at July 31.
IFRS requires that valuations be performed with sufficient regularity
such that the amounts recognized in the financial statements do not
differ materially from amounts that would be determined at the end of
the reporting period. Under IFRS, the Bank will measure the assets and
obligations of all defined benefit plans as at October 31.
Defined Benefit Plans – Past Service Costs
Canadian GAAP does not differentiate between accounting for the vested
and unvested cost of plan amendments, deferring and amortizing both
over the expected average remaining service life of active plan members.
Under IFRS, the cost of plan amendments is recognized immediately
in income if it relates to vested benefits; otherwise, they are recognized
over the remaining vesting period.
Defined Benefit Plans – Asset Ceiling Test
Under Canadian GAAP, when a defined benefit plan gives rise to a
prepaid pension asset, a valuation allowance is recognized for any
excess of the prepaid pension asset over the expected future benefits
expected to be realized by the Bank.
Under IFRS, the prepaid pension asset is subject to a ceiling which
limits the asset recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet to the
amount that is recoverable through refunds of contributions or future
contribution holidays.
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
In addition, under Canadian GAAP, the Bank was not required to
recognize regulatory funding deficits. Under IFRS, the Bank is required
to record a liability equal to the present value of all future cash
payments required to eliminate any regulatory funding deficits related
to its employee benefit plans.
Defined Benefit Plans – Attributing Benefits to Periods of Service
Under Canadian GAAP, for a defined benefit plan other than a pension
plan, the obligation for employee future benefits should be attributed
on a straight-line basis to each year of service in the attribution period
unless the plan formula attributes a significantly higher level of benefits
to employees’ early years of service. Under those circumstances, the
obligation should be attributed based on the plan’s benefit formula.
IFRS requires that benefits be attributed to periods of service either
under the plan benefit formula or on a straight-line basis from the date
when service first leads to benefits to the date when further service
will lead to no material amount of further benefits, other than from
further salary increases. For the Bank’s principal non-pension post-
retirement plan, benefits are not earned until certain criteria are met.
As a result, the attribution period will be shorter under IFRS, resulting
in a reduction in the accrued benefit liability on transition to IFRS.
The impact of these other employee benefit differences between
Canadian GAAP and IFRS to the Bank’s IFRS opening Consolidated
Balance Sheet as at November 1, 2010 was a decrease to other assets
of $95 million, an increase to deferred tax assets of $26 million, an
increase to other liabilities of $8 million, and a decrease to opening
retained earnings of $77 million.
d) Business Combinations: Elective Exemption
As permitted under IFRS transition rules, the Bank has applied IFRS 3,
Business Combinations (IFRS 3) to all business combinations occurring
on or after January 1, 2007. Certain differences exist between IFRS and
Canadian GAAP in the determination of the purchase price allocation.
The most significant differences are described below.
Under Canadian GAAP, an investment in a subsidiary which is
acquired through two or more purchases is commonly referred to as a
“step acquisition”. Each transaction is accounted for as a step-by-step
purchase, and is recognized at the fair value of the net assets acquired
at each step. Under IFRS, the accounting for step acquisitions differs
depending on whether a change in control occurs. If change in control
occurs, the acquirer remeasures any previously held equity investment
at its acquisition-date fair value and recognizes any resulting gain or
loss in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Any transactions subse-
quent to obtaining control are recognized as equity transactions.
Under Canadian GAAP, shares issued as consideration are measured
at the market price over a reasonable time period before and after the
date the terms of the business combination are agreed upon and
announced. Under IFRS, shares issued as consideration are measured
at their market price on the closing date of the acquisition.
Under Canadian GAAP, an acquirer’s restructuring costs to exit an
activity or to involuntarily terminate or relocate employees are recog-
nized as a liability in the purchase price allocation. Under IFRS, these
costs are generally expensed as incurred and not included in the
purchase price allocation.
Under Canadian GAAP, costs directly related to the acquisition
(i.e., finder fees, advisory, legal, etc.) are included in the purchase price
allocation, while under IFRS these costs are expensed as incurred and
not included in the purchase price allocation.
Under Canadian GAAP, contingent consideration is recorded when
the amount can be reasonably estimated at the date of acquisition and
the outcome is determinable beyond reasonable doubt, while under
IFRS contingent consideration is recognized immediately in the
purchase price equation at fair value and marked to market as events
and circumstances change in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
The impact of the differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS to
the Bank’s IFRS opening Consolidated Balance Sheet is disclosed in
the table below.
Business Combinations: Elective Exemption

The total impact of business combination elections to the Bank’s IFRS
opening equity was a decrease of $2,180 million, comprised of a
decrease to common shares of $926 million, a decrease to contributed
surplus of $85 million and a decrease to retained earnings of
$1,169 million.
e) Designation of Financial Instruments: Elective Exemption
Under IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement,
entities are permitted to make certain designations only upon initial
recognition. IFRS 1 provides entities with an opportunity to make these
designations on the date of transition to IFRS provided the asset or
liability meets certain criteria specified under IFRS at that date.
The Bank has designated certain held-to-maturity financial assets to
available-for-sale financial assets. The impact of this designation on the
Bank’s IFRS opening Consolidated Balance Sheet as at November 1,
2010 was an increase to available-for-sale securities of $9,937 million,
a decrease to held-to-maturity securities of $9,715 million, an increase
to deferred tax liabilities of $57 million, and an increase to opening
equity of $165 million. The total impact to the Bank’s opening equity
comprised of an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income
of $165 million and no impact to retained earnings.
f) Cumulative Translation Differences: Elective Exemption
The Bank has elected to reclassify all cumulative translation differences
on its foreign operations net of hedging activities which were recorded
in accumulated other comprehensive income, to retained earnings on
transition. As a result, the Bank has reclassified the entire balance of
cumulative translation losses at transition date of $2,947 million from
accumulated other comprehensive income into retained earnings, with
no resulting net impact on equity.
g) Loan Origination Costs: Other Differences between
Canadian GAAP and IFRS
Under Canadian GAAP, costs that are directly attributable to the
origination of a loan, which include commitment costs, were deferred
and recognized as an adjustment to the loan yield over the expected
life of the loan using the effective interest rate method. Under IFRS,
loan origination costs must be both directly attributable and incremen-
tal to the loan origination in order to be deferred and amortized and
recognized as a yield adjustment over the expected life of the loan.
On transition to IFRS certain costs that were previously permitted to be
deferred under Canadian GAAP have been expensed into opening
retained earnings as they are not considered to be incremental to the
loan origination. The impact of this difference to the Bank’s IFRS
opening Consolidated Balance Sheet as at November 1, 2010 was a
decrease to loans of $458 million and other assets of $88 million,
an increase to deferred tax assets of $155 million, and a decrease to
opening retained earnings of $391 million.
151
TD BANK GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
h) Consolidation: Other Differences between Canadian GAAP
Under IFRS, the cost of share-based payments is recognized over the
and IFRS
The control and consolidation of an entity is evaluated under Canadian
GAAP using two different models. The variable interest model applies
when an entity holds a variable interest in a variable interest entity
(VIE). If an entity is not a VIE, consolidation is assessed under the voting
interest model, where voting rights or governance provisions will
determine which party consolidates the entity. In addition, entities that
are structured to meet specific characteristics such as Qualifying Special
Purpose Entities (QSPE) are exempt from the consolidation guidance.
IFRS guidance on consolidation is based on the principles of control.
Control is defined as the power to govern the financial and operating
policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The
power of control can be obvious, for example, through the holding of
a majority of voting rights. When control is not apparent, such as
when the entity is a SPE, consolidation is based on an overall assessment
of all the relevant facts, including an assessment of risks and rewards.
Typically, the party with the majority of rewards or exposure to the
residual risk must consolidate the entity. In contrast to Canadian
GAAP, there is no such concept as a QSPE.
Under IFRS, the Bank must consolidate certain entities that are not
consolidated under Canadian GAAP, including certain former QSPEs
and various capital structures. Consolidation of any previously uncon-
solidated entities have resulted in increased assets, liabilities, and
non-controlling interest, as disclosed in the table below.

As noted in the table above, the total impact to the Bank’s opening
equity was a decrease of $82 million, comprised of a decrease to
contributed surplus of $1 million and a decrease to retained earnings
of $81 million.
i) Share-based Payments: Other Differences between Canadian
GAAP and IFRS
Under Canadian GAAP, the cost of share-based payments was recog-
nized from the date awards were granted over the service period
required for employees to become fully entitled to the award.
period that an employee provides the service to earn the award. This
includes a period prior to the grant date where employees are consid-
ered to have provided service in respect of the awards during that
period. Under Canadian GAAP, the Bank did not recognize an expense
prior to the grant date.
The impact of this difference to the Bank’s IFRS opening Consolidated
Balance Sheet as at November 1, 2010 was an increase to deferred tax
assets of $44 million, an increase to other liabilities of $151 million, and
a decrease to opening equity of $107 million. The total impact to the
Bank’s opening equity comprised of an increase to contributed surplus
of $16 million, a decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income
of $10 million and a decrease to retained earnings of $113 million.
Under IFRS, a first-time adopter is encouraged but not required to
apply IFRS 2, Share-based Payment, to liabilities arising from share-
based payment transactions that were settled before the transition
date and to equity instruments that were unvested at transition. The
Bank has taken this exemption and has not applied IFRS 2, to liabilities
settled prior to the transition date or to equity instruments which were
vested at November 1, 2010.
j) Income Taxes: Other Differences between Canadian GAAP
and IFRS
Income tax related adjustments result from differences in accounting for
income taxes between Canadian GAAP and IFRS income tax accounting
standards as well as the tax impact of all other transitional adjustments.
i) Adjustments Related to Income Tax Accounting Standard Differences
Under Canadian GAAP, the deferred tax liability related to the Bank’s
investments in associates is calculated based on the presumption
that temporary differences will reverse through disposition unless there
is persuasive evidence that it will be reversed through the receipt
of dividends.
Under IFRS, unless there is evidence that the investment will be
disposed of in the foreseeable future, the deferred tax liability on such
temporary differences is calculated on the basis that it will be recov-
ered through the receipt of dividends.
The impact of all income tax accounting standard differences to the
Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as at November 1, 2010 was an
increase to deferred tax assets of $1 million, an increase to deferred
tax liabilities of $73 million, and a decrease to opening equity of
$72 million. The total impact to the Bank’s equity comprised of an
increase to accumulated other comprehensive income of $6 million
and a decrease to retained earnings of $78 million.
ii) Income Tax Effect of Other Adjustments between Canadian GAAP
and IFRS
Differences for income taxes include the effect of recording, where
applicable, the deferred tax effect on transition adjustments between
Canadian GAAP and IFRS. The impact to the Bank’s Consolidated
Balance Sheet is disclosed with the related IFRS difference throughout
this note.

k) Securities Classified as Available-for-Sale: Other Differences
between Canadian GAAP and IFRS
m) Summary of Key Financial Statement Presentation
Differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS
Under Canadian GAAP, equity securities that are classified as available-
for-sale and do not have a quoted market price are recorded at cost.
Under IFRS, these equity securities are recorded at fair value when
there is a reliable fair value.
The impact of this difference to the Bank’s IFRS opening Consolidated

1 Results prepared in accordance with
GAAP are referred to as “reported”.
Adjusted results (excluding “items of
note”, net of income taxes, from
reported results) and related terms are
not defined terms under GAAP and
therefore, may not be comparable to
similar terms used by other issuers.
For further explanation, see “How the
Bank Reports” in the accompanying
Management’s Discussion and Analysis.
Adjusted results are presented from
2002 to allow for sufficient years for
historical comparison. Adjusted results
shown for years prior to 2006 reflect
adjustments for amortization of intan-
gibles and certain identified items as
previously disclosed by the Bank for the
applicable period, except as noted. See
the following page for a reconciliation
with reported results.
2 Effective 2008, treasury shares have
been reclassified from common and
preferred shares and shown separately.
Prior to 2008, the amounts for treasury
shares are not reasonably determinable.

VaR measures the adverse impact that potential changes in market rates and
prices could have on the value of a portfolio over a specified period of time.
