Group president and Ceo’s Message
against the backdrop of economic headwinds and an increasingly complex regulatory environment,
tD continued to grow and distinguish itself as the Better Bank in 2012. adjusted earnings exceeding
$7 billion represent our best year to date. the roll-out of 65 new retail locations not only expanded our
north american footprint, but reinforced our unique leadership position in service and convenience.
tD remains one of the strongest and safest banks in world, thanks to the strength of our balance sheet
and conservative risk appetite. and, we also raised our dividend twice for shareholders in 2012.
yeaR In ReVIeW
our retail businesses continued to drive growth on both sides of the
border. our domestic personal and Commercial business delivered
adjusted earnings of $3.4 billion, largely driven by strong volume
growth in personal and business deposits and loans.
our U.S. franchise surpassed $1.4 billion in adjusted earnings – a feat
all the more impressive given the impact of the Durbin amendment and
other regulatory changes on our business. the opening of the 1,300th
U.S. store marked a major milestone in tD’s growth story.
our Wealth businesses had an excellent year, continuing to take
market share in gathering assets and trading volumes throughout a
volatile year. tD ameritrade also continues to attract new customer
assets significantly faster than its competitors and remains an industry
leader in trades per day. our Insurance business exceeded $3 billion
in premiums for the third consecutive year.
the performance of our Wholesale bank was strong as our
franchise focus produced targeted returns, positioned us for even
stronger performance when markets normalize and provided our
clients throughout the bank with an integrated full service offering.
leGenDaRy CUSTOMeR eXPeRIenCeS; a UnIQUe anD
InClUSIVe WORkPlaCe
our success is underpinned by our unique leadership position in service
and convenience. longer hours and better locations are tD hallmarks
that enable us to grow and take market share year in and year out.
Mobile and online banking channels present us with new opportunities
to lead. only a year after its launch, our mobile banking app is actively
used by more than 1 million customers. We are focused on building a
north american leadership position in these channels.
our relentless focus on the customer continues to separate tD from
the competition. tD Canada trust remains the sole winner in customer
satisfaction among the big Canadian banks by J.D. power & associates,
winning for a seventh consecutive year. We also took the Ipsos excellence
in Customer Service award for the eighth straight year. We are recog-
nized as a leader in the U.S. as well, where we work hard every day to
be america’s Most Convenient Bank.
our accomplishments are made possible by tD’s incredible team of
more than 85,000 people. our focus on creating a unique and inclusive
employee culture helps us attract, retain and engage the best. the
strength of our employment brand was recognized again in 2012, with
tD being named one of Canada’s top 100 employers for the sixth year
in a row.
Standing by our customers and employees means focusing on the
things that matter to them and their communities. on a global basis,
tD invested more than $65 million in the many communities it serves,
making a positive impact through over 6,000 organizations, on causes
such as education and financial literacy, the environment and creating
opportunities for young people.
FOCUSeD On THe FUTURe
looking ahead, we will continue to face a prolonged period of slow
economic growth, low interest rates and growing regulatory demands.
the housing market is cooling, consumer loan growth is moderating
and regulatory uncertainty remains a concern.
to succeed we must aggressively deal with the challenges ahead.
this means finding new revenue sources, building a competitive
advantage in improving productivity, and proactively getting ahead of
regulatory demands by building them into our best-run bank culture.
In doing all this, we must not lose track of what has allowed us to
outperform and become an employer of choice: our focus on our custom-
ers and the employees who serve them and a determination to preserve
our unique inclusive culture. as past results have demonstrated, what
is good for our customers is also good for our shareholders. and our
customers are served well when we focus on supporting and celebrating
our amazing employees who make it all happen.
I am confident that the resilience of our business model, combined
with the capacity of our management team and the dedication of our
employees, will not only see tD through these challenging times, but
help us sustain our leadership position in the future.

Chairman of the Board’s Message
During a year of slow economic growth, tD Bank Group achieved strong financial results, increased its
dividend twice and maintained a sound capital position. tD’s performance is a reflection of the bank’s
proven business strategy and the leadership team’s commitment to deliver value to all our stakeholders.
CORPORaTe GOVeRnanCe
Strong corporate governance is essential to any organization’s ability
to achieve sustainable growth and deliver shareholder value. In 2012,
tD was recognized in this regard with IR Magazine’s “Best Corporate
Governance” award.
tD’s board provides ongoing strategic counsel to the senior executive
team, evolving our practices to meet the needs of our business environ-
ment and continuing to ensure tD’s decisions align with its conservative
risk appetite. one of the most critical responsibilities of the board is
to ensure that tD has effective talent recruitment, development and
succession planning policies and practices. Recognizing that the next
Ceo transition falls within the planning horizon, the board has increased
its strong focus on succession planning at the most senior levels of the
bank. our objective is to ensure clarity in the roles and responsibilities
of the entire senior management team, to preserve the vital asset that
the team represents and to avoid the loss of institutional momentum
that can attend such transitions. We believe that we are well positioned
in this regard.
BOaRD COMPOSITIOn
In 2012, we were pleased to welcome Colleen Goggins of princeton,
new Jersey, to tD’s board. Colleen’s extensive business and leadership
experience have added valuable perspective to the board and the risk
committee. earlier this year, Wendy Dobson, pierre lessard and Carole
taylor stepped down from the board. I would like to thank them for
their contributions and years of service.
lOOkInG aHeaD
While we expect the challenges of today will continue – slow growth,
regulatory uncertainty, and a challenging global economic environment
– we are confident in the strength and resilience of tD’s business
model and the people behind it. I’d like to highlight the tremendous
work of tD’s 85,000 employees during 2012. When faced with any
challenge – from a business imperative to the unprecedented impact
of Superstorm Sandy – they rose to the task and exemplified tD’s guid-
ing principles, day in and day out. tD employs a remarkable team of
people who care about their businesses, customers and communities,
and who continue to make tD the Better Bank.
once again, on behalf of the board, I’d like to thank our shareholders
for their support and trust. We look forward to continuing to work on
your behalf in the year ahead.

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 2012 MD&A under the headings “Economic Summary and Outlook” and, for each business segment,
“Business Outlook and Focus for 2013” and in other statements regarding the Bank’s objectives and priorities for 2013 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, political 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, capital adequacy, and other risks, all of which are discussed in the 2012 MD&A.
Examples of such risk factors include the impact of recent U.S. legislative developments, as discussed under “Significant Events in 2012” in the “Financial Results
Overview” section of the 2012 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; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank or its affiliates relating to the care
and control of information and disruptions in the Bank’s information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services;
and the overall difficult litigation environment, including in the United States. 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 2012 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 2012 MD&A under the headings “Economic
Summary and Outlook” and, for each business segment, “Business Outlook and Focus for 2013”, 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.

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 22 million customers in
four key businesses operating in a number of locations in key financial
centres around the globe: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking,
Wealth and Insurance, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking, and
Wholesale Banking. TD also ranks among the world’s leading online
financial services firms, with more than 8.5 million online customers.
TD had $811 billion in assets on October 31, 2012. 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 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) under IFRS and
refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS 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 understanding
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 accordance
with IFRS. Adjusted results, items of note, and related terms used in
this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may
not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.
The Bank transitioned from Canadian GAAP to IFRS, beginning in
the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Refer to Note 38 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 annual
fiscal 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements also include fiscal 2011
comparatives, related transitional reconciliations, and accompanying
note disclosures.

1 Adjusted net interest income excludes the following items of note: 2012 – $36 million
(net of tax, $27 million) of certain charges against revenue related to promotional-
rate card origination activities, as explained in footnote 12.
2 Adjusted non-interest income excludes the following items of note: 2012 – $2 million
loss due to change in fair value of credit default swaps (CDS) hedging the corporate
loan book, as explained in footnote 10; $89 million loss due to change in fair
value of derivatives hedging the reclassified available-for-sale (AFS) securities
portfolio, as explained in footnote 8; $3 million loss due to change in fair value
of contingent consideration relating to Chrysler Financial, as explained in footnote 11,
$1 million loss due to the impact of Superstorm Sandy, as explained in footnote 16;
2011 – $19 million gain due to change in fair value of CDS hedging the corporate
loan book; $158 million gain due to change in fair value of derivatives hedging
the reclassified AFS securities portfolio; $50 million loss due to change in fair
value of contingent consideration relating to Chrysler Financial.
3 Adjusted provision for credit losses (PCL) excludes the following items of note:
2012 – $162 million in adjustments to allowance for incurred but not identified
credit losses in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, as explained in
footnote 14; $54 million due to the impact of Superstorm Sandy, as explained
in footnote 16.
8 During 2008, as a result of deterioration in markets and severe dislocation in the
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 AFS
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 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. 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.
4 Adjusted non-interest expenses excludes the following items of note:
9 As a result of U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking acquisitions, the Bank
2012 – $277 million amortization of intangibles, as explained in footnote 7;
$11 million of integration charges related to U.S. Personal and Commercial Bank-
ing acquisitions, as explained in footnote 9; $24 million of integration charges and
direct transaction costs relating to the Chrysler Financial acquisition, as explained
in footnote 11; $104 million of integration charges and direct transaction costs
relating to the acquisition of the MBNA Canada credit card portfolio, as explained
in footnote 12; $413 million of charges related to a litigation reserve, as explained
in footnote 13; $7 million due to the impact of Superstorm Sandy, as explained in
footnote 16; 2011 – $496 million amortization of intangibles; $141 million of inte-
gration charges related to U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking acquisitions;
$37 million of integration charges and direct transaction costs relating to the
Chrysler Financial acquisition.
5 For a 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 “Income Taxes” section of this document.
6 Adjusted equity in net income of an investment in associate excludes the following
items of note: 2012 – $57 million amortization of intangibles, as explained in foot-
note 7; 2011 – $59 million amortization of intangibles.
7 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 in 2006 and Interchange Financial Services in 2007, the amortiza-
tion of intangibles included in equity in net income of TD Ameritrade, and the
acquisition of the MBNA Canada credit card portfolio in 2012. Effective 2011,
amortization of software is recorded in amortization 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.
incurred integration charges and direct transaction costs. Integration charges
consist of costs related to information technology, employee retention, external
professional consulting charges, marketing (including customer communication
and rebranding), integration-related travel costs, 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 impairment.
Direct transaction costs are expenses directly incurred in effecting a business
combination and consist primarily of finders’ fees, advisory fees, and legal fees.
Integration charges in the recent quarters were driven by the South Financial and
FDIC-assisted acquisitions and there were no direct transaction costs recorded.
The first quarter 2012 was the last quarter U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
included any further FDIC-assisted and South Financial related integration charges
or direct transaction costs as an item of note.
10 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.

11 As a result of the Chrysler Financial acquisition in Canada and the U.S., the Bank
incurred integration charges and direct transaction costs. As well, the Bank experi-
enced volatility in earnings as a result of changes in the fair value of contingent
consideration. Integration charges consist of costs related to information technol-
ogy, employee retention, external professional consulting charges, marketing
(including customer communication and rebranding), integration-related travel
costs, employee severance costs, the cost of amending certain executive employ-
ment and award agreements, contract termination fees, and the write-down of
long-lived assets due to impairment. Direct transaction costs are expenses directly
incurred in effecting a business combination and consist primarily of finders’ fees,
advisory fees, and legal fees. Contingent consideration is defined as part of the
purchase agreement, whereby the Bank is required to pay additional cash consid-
eration in the event that amounts realized on certain assets exceed a pre-estab-
lished threshold. Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value on the date of
acquisition. Changes in fair value subsequent to acquisition are recorded in the
Consolidated Statement of Income. Adjusted earnings exclude the gains and
losses on contingent consideration in excess of the acquisition date fair value.
While integration charges and direct transaction costs related to this acquisition
were incurred for both Canada and the U.S., the majority of these charges relate
to integration initiatives undertaken for U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking.
12 As a result of the acquisition of the MBNA Canada credit card portfolio, as well as
certain other assets and liabilities, the Bank incurred integration charges and direct
transaction costs. Integration charges consist of costs related to information
technology, employee retention, external professional consulting charges, marketing
(including customer communication, rebranding and certain charges against revenues
related to promotional-rate card origination activities), integration-related travel
costs, employee severance costs, the cost of amending certain executive employment
and award agreements, contract termination fees, and the write-down of long
lived assets due to impairment. The Bank’s integration charges related to the
MBNA acquisition were higher than what were anticipated when the transaction
was first announced. The elevated spending was primarily due to additional costs
incurred (other than the amounts capitalized) to build out technology platforms for
the business. Direct transaction costs are expenses directly incurred in effecting the
business combination and consist primarily of finders’ fees, advisory fees and legal
fees. Integration charges and direct transaction costs related to this acquisition
were incurred by Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking.
13 As a result of certain adverse judgments and settlements reached in the U.S. during
2012, the Bank took prudent steps to reassess its litigation provisions and, having
considered these factors as well as other related or analogous litigation cases, the
Bank determined in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the litiga-
tion provision of $413 million ($248 million after tax) was required in 2012.
14 Excluding the impact related to the MBNA Canada credit card portfolio and other
consumer loan portfolios (which is recorded in Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking results), “Reduction of allowance for incurred but not identified credit
losses”, formerly known as “General allowance increase (release) in Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking and Wholesale Banking”, includes $162 million
(net of tax, $120 million) in 2012 attributable to the Wholesale Banking and
non-MBNA related Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking loan portfolios.
15 This represents the impact of changes in the income tax statutory rate on net
deferred income tax balances.
16 The Bank provided $62 million (net of tax, $37 million) for certain estimated losses
resulting from Superstorm Sandy which primarily relate to an increase in provision
for credit losses, fixed asset impairments and charges against revenue relating
to fee reversals.

Adjusted return on common equity (ROE) is adjusted net income
available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common
equity. ROE is a percentage rate and is a variation of economic profit
which is a dollar measure. When ROE exceeds the equity cost of capital,
economic profit is positive. The Bank’s goal is to maximize economic
profit by achieving ROE that exceeds the equity cost of capital.
Economic profit and adjusted ROE are non-GAAP financial measures
as these are not defined terms under IFRS. Readers are cautioned that
earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do
not have standardized meanings under IFRS and, therefore, may not
be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.
ECONOmIC PROFIT AND RETURN ON COmmON EQUITy
Effective the first quarter of 2012, the Bank revised its methodology
for allocating capital to its business segments to align with the future
common equity capital requirements under Basel III at a 7% Common
Equity Tier 1 ratio. The return measures for business segments now
reflect a return on common equity methodology and not return on
invested capital which was reported previously. These changes have
been applied prospectively.
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 common equity. The
rate used in the charge for average common equity is the equity cost
of capital calculated using the capital asset pricing model. The charge
represents an assumed minimum return required by common share-
holders on the Bank’s common equity. The Bank’s goal is to achieve
positive and growing economic profit.

SIgNIFICANT EVENTS IN 2012
Acquisition of Credit Card Portfolio of MBNA Canada
On December 1, 2011, the Bank acquired substantially all of the credit
card portfolio of MBNA Canada (MBNA), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Bank of America Corporation, as well as certain other assets and
liabilities for cash consideration of $6,839 million. The acquisition was
accounted for by the purchase method. The results of the acquisition
from the acquisition date to October 31, 2012 have been consolidated
with the Bank’s results and are reported primarily in the Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking and Wealth and Insurance segments.
As at December 1, 2011, the acquisition contributed $7,361 million of
loans, $275 million of other assets, and $1,348 million of liabilities. The
estimated fair value of loans reflects the expected credit losses at the
acquisition date. The excess of consideration over the fair value of the
acquired net assets of approximately $551 million has been allocated
to $458 million of intangible assets and $93 million of goodwill.
Acquisition of Target’s U.S. Credit Card Portfolio
On October 23, 2012, the Bank announced that it entered into an
agreement with Target Corporation (Target) under which the Bank will
acquire Target’s existing U.S. Visa and private label credit card portfo-
lio, which totals approximately US$5.9 billion. TD also entered into a
seven-year program agreement under which it will become the exclu-
sive issuer of Target-branded Visa and private label consumer credit
cards to Target’s U.S. customers. TD will acquire over 5 million active
Visa and private label accounts and will fund the receivables for exist-
ing Target Visa accounts and all existing and newly issued Target
private label accounts in the U.S. Subject to the receipt of regulatory
approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, this
transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of fiscal 2013.
Investment in TMX Group Limited
On October 30, 2011, TMX Group Inc. (TMX) and Maple Group
Acquisition Corporation (now TMX Group Limited) (Maple) announced
that they had entered into a support agreement in respect of Maple’s
proposed acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of TMX pursuant
to an integrated two-step transaction valued at approximately
$3,800 million.
Maple is a corporation whose investors comprise twelve of Canada’s
leading financial institutions and pension funds, including TD Securities
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. Maple completed the
acquisition of 80% of the outstanding TMX shares on August 10,
2012, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the offer. The
transaction also provided for the acquisition of Alpha Trading Systems
Inc. and Alpha Trading Systems Limited Partnership (collectively Alpha)
and The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (CDSL). Maple
completed the acquisition of Alpha and CDSL on August 1, 2012, with
existing CDSL and Alpha shareholders receiving cash payments in
exchange for their equity interests.

2 Effective the first quarter of 2012, economic profit is calculated based on average
common equity on a prospective basis. Prior to the first quarter of 2012, economic
profit was calculated based on average invested capital. Had this change been
done on a retroactive basis, economic profit for the Bank, calculated based on
average common equity, would have been $2,947 million for 2011.
Pursuant to a court-approved arrangement, the remainder of the
outstanding TMX shares held by TMX shareholders (other than Maple)
were exchanged for Maple shares on a one-for-one basis with a closing
date of September 14, 2012. As an investor in Maple, the Bank
provided equity funding to Maple in the amount of approximately
$194 million to fund the purchase of TMX, Alpha and CDSL.
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 every financial institution
operating in the United States, including the Bank, and, due to certain
extraterritorial aspects of the Act, will impact the Bank’s operations
outside the United States, including in Canada. The Dodd-Frank Act
makes significant changes in areas such as banking and bank supervi-
sion, 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 derivatives, and executive compensation, among others. The
Dodd-Frank Act also calls for the issuance of over 240 regulatory rule-
makings as well as numerous studies and on-going reports as part of
its implementation. Accordingly, while the Act will have an effect on
the business 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 (FRB), 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” or “the Rule”). The U.S. Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a substantially similar
proposal on January 13, 2012. The Bank is in the process of analyzing
and planning for the implementation of the proposed Volcker Rule. The
Rule broadly prohibits proprietary trading and places limitations on
other permitted trading activities, limits investments in and the sponsor-
ship of hedge and private equity funds and requires robust compliance
and reporting regimes surrounding permitted activities. The Rule is also
expected to 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 holds. Under the current proposal, the provi-
sions of the 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 branch or agency in the U.S. The proposed 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. As currently proposed, the
Rule requires the implementation of a comprehensive compliance
11
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
program and monitoring of certain quantitative risk metrics as well as
compliance monitoring and reporting programs. On April 19, 2012, the
FRB, on behalf of itself and the other agencies, issued guidance stating
that full conformance with the Rule will not be required until July 21,
2014, unless that period is extended by the FRB. The agencies have not
indicated when the final Rule will be published. While the Rule is
expected to have an adverse effect on certain of the Bank’s businesses,
the extent of the impact will not be known until such time as the
current proposal is finalized. At the current time, the impact is not
expected to be material to the Bank.
The Durbin Amendment contained in the Dodd-Frank Act authorizes
the FRB to issue regulations that set interchange fees which are
“reasonable and proportional” to the costs of processing such transac-
tions. In June 2011, the FRB issued final rules limiting debit card inter-
change fees with a required implementation 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 has impacted
gross revenue by approximately US$50 - 60 million pre-tax per quarter,
in line with expectations. For more detail on the impact of the Durbin
Amendment, see the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment
disclosure in the “Business Segment Analysis” section of this docu-
ment. Additionally, changes to other consumer related laws and regu-
lations could result in changes to fees we charge and product offerings.
As a result of the Bank’s participation in the U.S. derivatives
markets, the Bank will be required to register as a swap dealer with
the CFTC on or before December 31, 2012. Upon registration, and
when the rules come into effect, swap dealers will become subject to
additional requirements, including, but not limited to, measures that
require clearing and exchange trading of certain derivatives, new capi-
tal and margin requirements for certain market participants, new
reporting requirements and new business conduct requirements for
derivatives under the jurisdiction of CFTC. The ultimate impact of these
regulations, including cross border implications, continues to remain
uncertain but is not expected to be material to the Bank.
The FRB has proposed for comment a rulemaking that would imple-
ment enhanced prudential standards and early remediation provisions
on systemically important financial institutions in the U.S. The rule
would establish new requirements for risk-based capital, liquidity and
liquidity standards, leverage limits, risk management and credit expo-
sure reporting. If implemented as proposed, the rule would apply to
the Bank’s U.S. bank holding company but not to the Bank.
The Bank continues to monitor closely these and other legislative
developments and will analyze the impact such regulatory and legisla-
tive changes may have on its businesses.
FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
Net Income
AT A gLANCE OVERVIEW
• Reported net income was $6,471 million, an increase
of $426 million, or 7%, compared with last year.
• Adjusted net income was $7,075 million, an increase
of $643 million, or 10%, compared with last year.
Reported net income for the year was $6,471 million, an increase of
$426 million, or 7%, compared with $6,045 million last year. Adjusted
net income for the year was $7,075 million, an increase of $643 million,
or 10%, compared with $6,432 million last year. The increase in
adjusted net income was due to higher earnings in all segments.
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net income increased
primarily due to good volume growth, the acquisition of MBNA, higher
fee income, a lower tax rate and an extra calendar day. U.S. Personal
and Commercial Banking net income increased primarily due to strong
loan and deposit volume growth and higher fee-based revenue,
partially offset by higher expenses and the impact of the Durbin
Amendment. Wholesale Banking net income increased due to stronger
results in core businesses, partially offset by reduced security gains in
the investment portfolio. Wealth and Insurance net income increased
primarily due to growth in premiums and clients assets, the inclusion of
MBNA and lower expenses, partially offset by unfavourable prior years
claims development and lower trading volumes.
Reported diluted earnings per share for the year were $6.76 this
year, a 5% increase, compared with $6.43 last year. Adjusted diluted
earnings per share for the year were $7.42, an 8% increase, compared
with $6.86 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.
Depreciation of the Canadian dollar had a favourable impact on
consolidated earnings for the year ended October 31, 2012, compared
with last year, as shown in the table below.

Revenue
AT A gLANCE OVERVIEW
• Reported revenue was $23,122 million, an increase
of $1,460 million, or 7%, compared with last year.
• Adjusted revenue was $23,253 million, an increase
of $1,718 million, or 8%, compared with last year.
• Reported net interest income increased by $1,365 million,
or 10%, compared with last year.
• Adjusted net interest income increased by $1,401 million,
or 10%, compared with last year.
• Reported non-interest income increased by $95 million,
or 1%, compared with last year.
• Adjusted non-interest income increased by $317 million,
or 4%, compared with last year.
NET INTEREST INCOmE
Net interest income for the year on a reported basis was $15,026
million, an increase of $1,365 million, or 10%, compared with last
year. On an adjusted basis, net interest income was $15,062 million,
an increase of $1,401 million, or 10%, compared with last year.
The increase in adjusted net interest income was driven primarily
by increases in the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, U.S.
Personal and Commercial Banking and Wholesale Banking segments.
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking net interest income
increased primarily due to the inclusion of MBNA, organic volume
growth and an additional calendar day, partially offset by lower
margin on average earning assets. U.S. Personal and Commercial
Banking net interest income increased mainly due to strong loan and
deposit volume growth, partially offset by lower margin on average
earning assets. Wholesale Banking net interest income increased
largely due to higher trading-related revenue.

NON-INTEREST INCOmE
Non-interest income for the year on a reported basis was $8,096 million,
an increase of $95 million, or 1%, compared with last year. Adjusted
non-interest income for the year was $8,189 million, an increase of
$317 million, or 4%, compared with last year. The increase in adjusted
non-interest income was primarily driven by increases in the Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking and U.S. Personal and Commercial
Banking segments, partially offset by a decline in Wealth and
Insurance. Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking non-interest
income increased primarily due to higher transaction volumes, the
contribution from MBNA and fee repricing. U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking non-interest income increased due to higher
fee-based revenue and gains on sales of securities, partially offset by
the impact of the Durbin Amendment and the anticipated run-off in
legacy Chrysler Financial revenue. Wealth and Insurance non-interest
income decreased primarily due to unfavourable prior years claims
development in the Ontario auto market and weather-related events
in the Insurance business and lower trading revenue in the Wealth
business, partially offset by strong premium growth and the inclusion
of MBNA in the Insurance business and higher fee-based revenue from
higher client assets in the Wealth business.

both insurance revenue, net of claims and related expenses and the income from
investments that fund policy liabilities which are designated at fair value through
profit or loss within the Bank’s property and casualty insurance subsidiaries.
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 at fair value through profit or loss
that are managed within a trading portfolio. Trading-related income
increased by $324 million, or 47% from 2011. The increase was primar-
ily in interest rate and credit portfolios and equity and other portfolios,
partially offset by a decrease in foreign exchange compared to the prior
year. The trading environment for interest rate and credit trading
improved on tighter spreads and increased client activity in 2012.
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 $13,998 million, an
increase of $951 million, or 7%, compared with last year.
• Adjusted non-interest expenses were $13,162 million, an
increase of $789 million, or 6%, compared with last year.
• Reported efficiency ratio worsened to 60.5% compared
with 60.2% last year.
• Adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 56.6% compared
with 57.5% last year.
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 worsened to 60.5%, compared with
60.2% last year. The adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 56.6%,
compared with 57.5% last year. The Bank’s adjusted efficiency ratio
improved from last year, primarily due to improved efficiency in
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Reported non-interest expenses for the year were $13,998 million, an
increase of $951 million, or 7%, compared with last year. Adjusted non-
interest expenses were $13,162 million, an increase of $789 million,
or 6%, compared with last year. The increase in adjusted non-interest
expenses was driven by increases in the Canadian Personal and
Commercial Banking, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking and
Wholesale Banking segments. Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking expenses increased primarily due to the acquisition of MBNA
Canada’s credit card portfolio, higher employee-related costs, business
initiatives and volume growth. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
expenses increased due to investments in new stores and infrastruc-
ture, the Chrysler Financial acquisition and economic and regulatory
factors. Wholesale Banking expenses increased primarily due to legal
provisions in the current year and higher variable compensation
commensurate with improved revenue.

Provision for income taxes and effective income tax rate – reported
The Bank’s adjusted effective tax rate was 17.1% for 2012, compared
with 20.1% in 2011. The year-over-year decrease was largely due to
the reduction in the Canadian statutory corporate tax rate and higher
tax exempt dividend income from taxable Canadian corporations.
The Bank’s effective income tax rate on a reported basis was 14.9%
for 2012, compared with 18.6% in 2011. The year-over-year decrease
was largely due to the reduction in the Canadian statutory corporate
tax rate and higher tax exempt dividend income from taxable Canadian
corporations.
The Bank reports its investment in TD Ameritrade using the equity
method of accounting. TD Ameritrade’s tax expense of $131 million

FINANCIAL RESULTS OVERVIEW
Quarterly Financial Information
FOURTH QUARTER 2012 PERFORmANCE SUmmARy
Reported net income for the quarter was $1,597 million, an increase
of $8 million, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted net
income for the quarter was $1,757 million, an increase of $101 million,
or 6%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Reported diluted
earnings per share for the quarter were $1.66, compared with $1.68 in
the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the
quarter were $1.83, compared with $1.75 in the fourth quarter last year.
Revenue for the quarter was $5,889 million, an increase of
$226 million, or 4%, on a reported basis, and $5,926 million on an
adjusted basis, an increase of $300 million, or 5%, compared with the
fourth quarter last year. The increase in adjusted revenue was driven
by increases in the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segments, partially offset by a
decrease in Wealth and Insurance. Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking revenue increased primarily due to portfolio volume growth
and the addition of MBNA, partially offset by lower margin on average
earning assets. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking revenue
increased primarily due to strong organic growth and gains on sales
of securities, partially offset by the impact of the Durbin Amendment,
lower margin on average earning assets and anticipated run-off in
legacy Chrysler Financial revenue. Wealth and Insurance revenue
decreased mainly due to unfavourable prior years claims development
in the Ontario auto market and weather-related events in the
Insurance business.
Provision for credit losses for the quarter were $565 million, an
increase of $225 million, or 66%, on a reported basis, and $511 million
on an adjusted basis, an increase of $171 million, or 50%, compared
with the fourth quarter last year. The increase was primarily driven by
an increase in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking due to the
acquisition of MBNA Canada’s credit card portfolio and an increase in
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking driven by the impact of new
regulatory guidance on loans discharged in bankruptcies and timing
of the acquired credit-impaired portfolio PCL.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $3,606 million, an increase
of $118 million, or 3%, on a reported basis, and $3,493 million on an
adjusted basis, an increase of $149 million, or 4%, compared with the
fourth quarter last year. The increase in adjusted non-interest expenses
was primarily driven by an increase in Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking, partially offset by decreases in the U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking and Wholesale Banking segments. Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking expenses increased primarily due to
the acquisition of MBNA Canada’s credit card portfolio, volume growth
and investment in business initiatives. U.S. Personal and Commercial
Banking expenses decreased due to elevated legal expenses in the prior
year. Wholesale Banking expenses declined due to lower infrastructure
costs and legal provisions.
The Bank’s reported effective tax rate was 10.4% for the quarter,
compared with 16.9% in the same quarter last year. The year-over-
year decrease was largely due to the reduction in the Canadian statu-
tory corporate tax rate and higher tax exempt dividend income from
taxable Canadian corporations. The Bank’s adjusted effective tax rate
was 12.3% for the quarter, compared with 18.7% in the same quarter
last year. The year-over-year decrease was largely due to the reduction
in the Canadian statutory corporate tax rate and higher tax exempt
dividend income from taxable Canadian corporations.
QUARTERLy TREND ANALySIS
The Bank has had strong underlying adjusted earnings growth over
the past eight quarters. Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking
earnings have been solid with good loan and deposit volume growth
and the acquisition of MBNA Canada’s credit card portfolio, partially
offset by lower margins. U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
earnings have benefited from strong organic loan and deposit volume
growth, partially offset by lower margins and the challenging regulatory
environment. After a strong 2011, Wealth and Insurance earnings have
been challenged in 2012 as growth in client assets and increased premium
revenue was partially offset by lower trading volumes, unfavourable
prior years claims development and the challenges of unpredictable
weather conditions. The earnings contribution from the Bank’s reported
investment in TD Ameritrade was relatively stable over the past two
years. Wholesale Banking earnings have been trending positively despite
the low interest rate and low volatility environment. Strong results in core
businesses in 2012 elevated earnings above 2011 levels.
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.

in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking.
The results of TD Auto Finance Canada are reported in Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking. The results of TD Auto Finance U.S.
are reported in U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. Integration
charges, direct transaction costs, and changes in fair value of contin-
gent consideration related to the Chrysler Financial acquisition are
reported in the Corporate segment.
Effective the first quarter of 2012, executive responsibilities for the
TD Insurance business were moved from Group Head, Canadian
Banking, Auto Finance, and Credit Cards to the Group Head, Wealth
Management, Insurance and Corporate Shared Services. The Bank has
updated and reclassified the corresponding segment reporting results
retroactively for 2011 for comparative purposes in its 2012 reporting.
Effective November 1, 2011, the Bank revised its methodology for
allocating capital to its business segments to align with the future
common equity capital requirements under Basel III at a 7% Common
Equity Tier 1 ratio. The return measures for business segments now
reflect a return on common equity methodology and not return on
invested capital which was reported previously. These changes have
been applied prospectively.
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. Net income for the operating busi-
ness segments is presented before any items of note not attributed to
the operating segments. For further details, see the “How the Bank
Reports” section in the MD&A. For information concerning the Bank’s
measures of economic profit and adjusted return on common equity,
which are non-GAAP financial measures, see the “Economic Profit and
Return on Common Equity” section. Segmented information also
appears in Note 28 to the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis 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 increase to net interest income and provision for income taxes
reflected in Wholesale Banking results is reversed in the Corporate
segment. The TEB adjustment for the year was $327 million, compared
with $311 million last year.
As noted in Note 8 to the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements,
the Bank continues to securitize retail loans and receivables, however
under IFRS, the majority of these loans and receivables remain
on-balance sheet.
The “Business Outlook and Focus for 2013” 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.

ECONOmIC SUmmARy AND OUTLOOk
The Canadian economy has recently suffered a slowdown in growth.
After expanding at an average pace of only 1.8% per quarter on an
annualized basis over the first half of the year, real GDP growth cooled
to a mere 0.6% (annualized) in the third quarter of 2012. Exports
continued to struggle in the July – September period, declining by a
significant 8%; its largest quarterly setback since the recession. Business
investment also dropped during the period. Although consumer spend-
ing rebounded, it only managed to bring the average gain recorded
since the start of the year to a muted 2%. In addition to elevated debt
levels, households have faced a slowing pace of hiring in recent
months. In the first half of the year, the six-month moving average level
of job growth had hovered around 25,000 per month. That has since
been halved to just 12,000 as of October.
Much of Canada’s recent economic malaise has been international
in nature. The recession in the European Union and slowdown in China
have been factors holding back Canadian manufacturing exports.
Meanwhile, uncertainty over the U.S. fiscal cliff has put a substantial
dent in both consumer and business confidence stateside. With the
U.S. general elections now over, negotiations can now begin on avert-
ing what could potentially push the U.S. (and possibly Canada) back
into recession. We anticipate that a compromise will be made ahead of
the January 2013 deadline and that a combination of tax increases and
spending cuts should reduce U.S. real GDP growth by approximately
1.5 percentage points in 2013.
In turn, this should decrease Canadian economic growth by
approximately 0.5 to 0.7 percentage points. However, a resolution
will contribute greatly to improvements in both consumer and busi-
ness sentiment and should help both economies return to a stronger
pace of economic growth as 2013 progresses. In Canada, the export
sector is likely to add modestly to economic growth in the months
ahead, while consumers are expected to continue spending, albeit in
a restrained manner. Business investment should improve going
forward, supported by a continued low level of interest rates which
we expect to persist over the medium term. The housing market has
begun pulling back with home prices declining modestly over the last
few months. We anticipate a price adjustment of around 10% over
the next 2 to 3 years, although the profile over that time period
could be uneven, with periods of weakness followed by small
rebounds, and vice-versa. Ultimately, we anticipate real GDP growth
to return to a healthier 2% pace by the end of the year, with the
unemployment rate gradually trending lower in the quarters ahead.
There are several downside risks that TD Economics highlights.
While the European Union has made significant progress towards
containing its crisis, many hurdles lie ahead and the region’s troubles
will continue to hang over the global economy. In the U.S., an agree-
ment to avert the fiscal cliff to deal with the longer-term deficit chal-
lenge is not assured. Lastly, household debt in Canada remains the
biggest domestic challenge. Progress has been made in slowing the
pace of debt accumulation among households; however, it still exceeds
the pace of income growth, suggesting that we could still see some
further rise in the debt-to-income ratio from its current record level. In
turn, the eventual normalization in interest rates could potentially lead
to a more significant slowdown in housing and economic activity than
we currently anticipate.

BUSINESS HIgHLIgHTS
• Achieved record adjusted earnings of $3,408 million, an increase
of 12% from 2011, and record annual adjusted efficiency ratio
of 45.7%, in a challenging operating environment.
• Successfully closed acquisition of mBNA, which made
a strong contribution to Canadian Personal and Business
Banking earnings.
• Strong deposit volume growth supported by the successful
launch of the new Investment Savings account.
• Business Banking generated strong volume growth of 14%
and launched two new products – Dealer Floor Plan Financing
and Equipment Financing.
• Held the #1 position in personal deposit market share and the
#2 position in personal loan market share.
• Continued to invest in growing the franchise and convenience
by opening 24 new branches in 2012 and adding branch hours.
• Achieved external recognition as an industry leader in
customer service excellence with distinctions that included
the following:
– Ranked highest in customer satisfaction among the five
major Canadian banks for the seventh consecutive year by
J.D. Power and Associates, a global marketing information
services firm. 2012 Canadian Retail Banking Customer
Satisfaction Study represented responses from nearly 12,000
customers, fielded in February and may 2012 by J.D. Power
and Associates. TD Canada Trust set the highest benchmark
scores across seven major drivers of customer satisfaction:
account activities, account information, facilities, product
offerings, fees, financial advisor, and problem resolution.
– TD Canada Trust earned the #1 spot in “Customer Service
Excellence” among the five major Canadian banks for the
eighth consecutive year according to global market
research firm Ipsos. The Ipsos 2012 Best Banking Awards,
previously known as Synovate Best Banking Awards were
based on survey responses from 43,202 households for the
year ended August 2012, regionally and demographically
representative of the Canadian population.
CHALLENgES IN 2012
• Low interest rate environment led to additional pressure
on margins.
• Heightened competition from the major Canadian banks and
other competitors.
• Slowing retail loan growth due to weak economic growth,
rising consumer debt levels and new mortgage regulation.
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 increased competition makes it difficult to sustain market
share gains and distinctive competitive advantage over the long term.
Continued success depends upon delivering outstanding customer
service and convenience, disciplined risk management practices, and
expense management.
OVERALL BUSINESS STRATEgy
The strategy for Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking is to:
• Integrate the comfortable customer experience into everything we do.
• Be recognized as an extraordinary place to work.
• Build on the momentum of higher growth businesses.
• Make the customer and employee experience simple, fast and easy
to drive efficiency.
• Invest in the future to deliver top tier earnings performance
consistently.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORmANCE
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking reported net income
for the year of $3,304 million, an increase of $253 million, or 8%,
compared with last year. Adjusted net income for the year was
$3,408 million, an increase of $357 million, or 12%, compared with
last year. The increase in adjusted earnings was driven by good volume
growth, the acquisition of MBNA, higher fee income, a lower tax rate,
and an extra calendar day. The reported return on common equity for
the year was 42.9%, while the adjusted annualized return on common
equity was 44.2%.
Reported revenue for the year was $10,652 million, an increase of
$1,120 million, or 12%, compared with last year. Adjusted revenue
for the year was $10,688 million, an increase of $1,156 million, or
12%, compared with last year. The addition of MBNA contributed
9 percentage points to both reported and adjusted year over year
revenue growth. Net interest income growth was driven by the inclusion
of MBNA, organic volume growth and an additional calendar day,
partially offset by lower margin on average earning assets. The net
interest income contribution from MBNA was elevated due to a one
time benefit from better credit performance on acquired loans.
Personal lending volume growth slowed throughout the year impacted
by a slowing housing market and weaker consumer loan demand.
Business lending growth was strong leading to market share gains.
Compared with last year, average real estate secured lending volume
increased $12.5 billion, or 6%. Auto lending average volume increased
$1.2 billion, or 10%, while all other personal lending average volumes,
excluding MBNA, were relatively flat. Business loans and acceptances
average volumes increased $5 billion, or 14%. Average personal
deposit volumes increased $9.4 billion, or 7%, with a strong contribu-
tion from the new Investment Savings account. Average business
deposit volumes increased $6.3 billion, or 10%. Reported margin on
average earning assets increased 6 bps to 2.82%, while the adjusted
margin on average earning assets increased 8 bps to 2.84%, compared

Business Banking
• Commercial Banking – Continued investment in customer-facing
resources and sales tools resulted in strong volume growth and
market share gains. On a percentage basis, credit and deposit
volumes grew by double digits. Credit losses increased over the
prior year to more normalized levels.
• Small Business Banking – The business continued to invest in sales
tools to better enable the retail sales force to serve customers.
Customer and average balance growth led to healthy deposit
volume growth.
BUSINESS OUTLOOk AND FOCUS FOR 2013
We will continue to build on our industry-leading customer
service and convenience position. We plan to open new branches
and commercial banking centres as well as roll out new tools and
services to enhance the customer experience. We expect the
overall operating environment to remain challenging. Earnings
growth in 2013 will be impacted by the low interest rate environ-
ment, more normalized contribution from mBNA, and slowing
retail volume growth. We anticipate interest rates will remain
at low levels, which will put additional pressure on margins and
revenue. The current year included an elevated mBNA contribu-
tion due to a non-recurring benefit from better credit perfor-
mance on acquired loans. We also expect retail volume growth
will continue to moderate due to slow economic growth, new
mortgage regulation, and weaker consumer loan demand. We
expect to partially offset some of these pressures by focusing on
increasing productivity and tightly managing expense growth.
Our key priorities for 2013 are as follows:
• Expand leadership in customer service and convenience across
all channels.
• Continue the growth momentum in our businesses, building
on platforms where we have made significant strategic
investments.
• mitigate impact from slower growth operating environment
by improving productivity.
• Continue to increase employee engagement and be recognized
as an extraordinary place to work.
with 2.76% last year due to the addition of MBNA. Excluding the
impact of MBNA, the margin on average earning assets decreased
12 bps to 2.64%, due to the impact of a low interest rate environ-
ment, portfolio mix, and competitive pricing. Non-interest income
growth of 12% was driven by higher transaction volumes, MBNA,
and repricing.
PCL for the year was $1,151 million, an increase of $327 million, or
40%, compared with last year. The increase in PCL was due primarily
to the addition of MBNA. Personal banking PCL was $1,088 million
for the year, an increase of $302 million, or 38%, compared with last
year. Excluding MBNA, personal banking PCL decreased $53 million,
reflecting strong credit quality and enhanced collection strategies.
Business banking PCL was $63 million, an increase of $26 million,
returning to a more normalized level, as the prior year had higher
recoveries. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume excluding
MBNA was 0.28%, a decrease of 3 bps, compared with last year. Net
impaired loans were $1,000 million, an increase of $108 million, or
12%, compared with last year.
Reported non-interest expenses for the year were $4,988 million,
an increase of $555 million, or 13%, compared with last year.
Adjusted non-interest expenses for the year were $4,884 million, an
increase of $451 million, or 10%, compared with last year. Excluding
MBNA, expenses increased $141 million, or 3%, compared with last
year, driven by higher employee-related costs, business initiatives,
volume growth, and one extra calendar day.
The average full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing levels increased by
539, or 2%, compared with last year driven by the addition of MBNA.
Excluding MBNA, FTE decreased by 855, or 3%, largely due to the trans-
fer of FTEs to the Corporate segment and volume-related productivity
gains. The reported efficiency ratio for the year worsened to 46.8%,
while the adjusted efficiency ratio improved to 45.7%, compared with
46.5%, on both a reported and adjusted basis last year.
kEy PRODUCT gROUPS
Personal Banking
• Personal Deposits – In 2012, the Bank was able to leverage the
introduction of the Investment Savings account and its market share
position to deliver strong volume growth. The low interest rate envi-
ronment led to significant pressure on margins. 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 – Volumes continued to grow but at a slower pace
than recent years. The Bank maintained its leadership position in
market share for real estate secured lending products. The lower
growth rate can be attributed to new regulations for underwriting real
estate secured loans and consumer focus on managing debt levels.
• Credit Cards and Merchant Service – The business continued to
focus on growth and the integration of MBNA. Strong earnings
growth in 2012 was driven by the acquisition of MBNA, modest
volume growth, and improved credit quality.
• TD Auto Finance Canada – The business continued to leverage its
full spectrum origination capabilities which drove portfolio growth
during the year.

CHALLENGES IN 2012
• In our Wealth business, Direct Investing trading volumes were
impacted throughout the year by the continued uncertainty in
the U.S. and European economic and political environments,
which led to investor fatigue and depressed trading volumes.
• Low interest rate environment continued to limit our ability
to grow revenue on loans and deposits.
• The Property and Casualty insurance business experienced
unfavourable prior years claims development in the Ontario
auto insurance market, as well as challenges from unpredict-
able weather conditions.
• Lower credit volumes drove reduced demand for the associ-
ated authorized insurance products in the Life and Health
insurance business.
INDUSTRY PROFILE
TD Wealth’s business operates in three geographic regions: Canada,
the U.S., and Europe. In Canada, the industry is extremely competitive
consisting of major banks, large insurance companies, and monoline
wealth management organizations (including mutual fund companies
and private wealth managers, asset managers and financial planners).
Given the level of competition in Canada, TD’s success lies in our abil-
ity to differentiate on client experience across all of our businesses and
channels by providing the right products, services, tools and solutions
to serve our clients’ needs.
In the U.S., the wealth management industry is large but competi-
tion is more fragmented, consisting of banks, insurance companies,
independent mutual fund companies, discount brokers, full service
brokers, and independent asset management companies. In our
Maine-to-Florida footprint, the Bank competes against both national
and regional banks and non-bank wealth organizations.
TD Ameritrade, in which TD has a substantial investment, competes
most directly with other direct investment firms. TD Ameritrade remains a
leader in this market by continuing to deliver world-class direct investing
capabilities to our clients, including investor tools, services and education.
In Europe, the industry is led by strong regional players with little
pan-European presence or brand. In the U.K., TD competes most
directly with other direct investment firms and institutional services
firms. In Europe, TD competes by providing focused multi-currency and
multi-exchange online direct investing services for retail investors.
28
TD Insurance operates in both the Canadian property and casualty
insurance industry and the life and health insurance industry. The
property and casualty industry is a fragmented and competitive market
where TD competes against other personal lines insurers and TD is the
leading player in the affinity market. The life and health insurance
industry in Canada and the reinsurance market internationally are
more consolidated with a few large players. While the predominant
distribution channel is the independent intermediary, TD is also
focused on offering insurance solutions to TD customers through
direct distribution channels in this market.
OVERALL BUSINESS STRATEGY
Wealth
• Global Direct Investing builds on existing market leadership positions
by offering best-in-class capabilities, tools, service and investor
education, and by extending our comfort and convenience brand
with continued investment in intuitive functionality.
• The North American Advice-based business continues to grow by
enhancing the overall client experience and by providing comprehen-
sive investment and wealth planning services and solutions to help
retirees and pre-retirees protect, grow and transition their wealth.
• The Asset Management business deepens channel penetration,
broadens institutional relationships, and expands international
equity capabilities.
Insurance
• Protect Canadians by offering insurance products and advice that is
easy to access from a trusted brand.
• Focus on the client experience by differentiating on service to drive
customer satisfaction, deepen customer relationships and increase
retention.
• Strengthen our direct distribution advantage by increasing our
channel capabilities and investments.
• Maintain our conservative risk approach to build long term sustainable
earnings and growth.

1 Effective November 1, 2011, the Insurance business was transferred from
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking to Wealth and Insurance. The 2011
results have been restated accordingly.
2 Insurance revenue, net of claims and related expenses is included in the non-
interest income line on the Bank’s Consolidated Income Statement. For the year
ended October 31, 2012, the claims and related expenses were $2,424 million
(October 31, 2011 – $2,178 million).
3 The prior period results for Wealth assets under administration were restated to
conform with the presentation adopted in the current year.
4 Effective the first quarter of 2012, the Bank revised its methodology for allocating
capital to its business segments to align with the future common equity capital
requirements under Basel III at a 7% Common Equity Tier 1 ratio. The return
measures for business segments will now be return on common equity rather than
return on invested capital. These changes have been applied prospectively. Return
on invested capital, which was used as the return measure in prior periods, has not
been restated to return on common equity.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORmANCE
Wealth and Insurance net income for the year was $1,367 million, an
increase of $53 million, or 4%, compared with last year. The increase
in earnings was mainly due to growth in premiums and client assets,
the inclusion of MBNA and lower expenses, partially offset by unfa-
vourable prior years claims development and lower trading volumes.
Wealth and Insurance net income excluding TD Ameritrade was
$1,158 million, an increase of $51 million, or 5%, compared with last
year. The Bank’s reported investment in TD Ameritrade generated net
income for the year of $209 million, an increase of $2 million, or 1%,
compared with last year, mainly driven by changes in the capital
allocation methodology resulting in lower net charges, largely offset by
lower TD Ameritrade earnings. For its fiscal year ended September 30,
2012, TD Ameritrade reported net income was US$586 million, a
decrease of US$52 million, or 8%, compared with last year, primarily
driven by lower trading revenue. The return on common equity for the
year was 20.7%.
Revenue for the year was $4,019 million, a decrease of $21 million,
or 1%, compared with last year. In the Wealth business, a decrease in
trading revenue in the direct investing business was largely offset by
higher fee-based revenue driven by increased client assets in the advice-
based and asset management businesses. In the Insurance business,
revenue increases from strong premium growth, better claims manage-
ment and the inclusion of MBNA were more than offset by unfavour-
able prior years claims development regarding the Ontario auto market
and weather-related events. During the latter part of 2012, the business
experienced an increase in prior years claims development in the
Ontario auto insurance market primarily related to pre-2011 accident
years. Frequency and severity of claims related to these accident years
were worse than anticipated for certain insurance coverage, translating
into higher claims costs. Net interest income increased driven primarily
by higher margins and client balances in the Wealth business.
Non-interest expenses for the year were $2,600 million, a decrease
of $16 million, or 1%, compared with last year. The decrease was
primarily due to higher project expenses in 2011, prudent expense
management, and lower volumes in the Wealth business, partially
offset by increased expenses supporting business growth in both the
Wealth and Insurance businesses.
Assets under administration of $258 billion as at October 31, 2012
increased by $21 billion, or 9%, compared with October 31, 2011.
Assets under management of $207 billion as at October 31, 2012
increased by $18 billion, or 10%, compared with October 31, 2011.
These increases were primarily driven by net new client assets.
Gross originated insurance premiums were $3,572 million, an
increase of $246 million, or 7%, compared with last year. The increase
was primarily due to organic business growth.
The average FTE staffing levels and efficiency ratio for the year
remained relatively flat compared with last year.

BUSINESS OUTLOOk AND FOCUS FOR 2013
Building upon our market leadership positions in Wealth and
Insurance, we plan to continue our growth in 2013 by growing
client assets and premiums, improving client experience, manag-
ing expenses prudently, while investing in our key capabilities

ing environment of 2012 to continue into 2013 but believe that
we will achieve good earnings growth for the segment in 2013.
In our Wealth business, in a challenging operating environ-
ment of low trading volumes and low interest rates, our focus
will be on continuing the momentum of gaining net new client
assets in the advice-based and asset management businesses
and prudent expense management.
In our Insurance business, we expect our core business funda-
mentals including premium growth to remain strong despite
continued pressure on the demand for authorized insurance
products from lower credit volumes. We will continue to focus
on growing market share, strengthening our direct distribution
capabilities, and improving our risk profile and efficiencies in
our core operations.
Our key priorities for 2013 are as follows:
Wealth:

by introducing new client solutions and improving service.
• grow share in our North American advice-based business
by deepening our referral partnership with TD’s U.S. and
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segments,
creating solutions to address our clients’ individual investing
needs, and enhancing the overall client experience.
• Leverage our premier institutional asset management
capabilities as we compete for new mandates.
Insurance:
• Improve our client experience with streamlined processes,
exceptional claims service and solid advice.
• Enhance our direct distribution advantage through growing our
affinity partnerships and building greater online capabilities.
• Build out our core infrastructure to strengthen our platforms
to support growth.

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. U.S. banks are 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 relation-
ships over the long term by owning the convenience and service brand
within our operating footprint, effective risk management, rational
product pricing, 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 market share while controlling expenses.
• Evolve the business in response to regulatory changes – at appropriate
pace and cost.
CHALLENGES IN 2012
• Regulatory and legislative changes have impacted the operat-
ing environment, TD Bank’s product offerings and earnings.
• Implement franchise optimization e.g., wallet share in retail and
commercial businesses; productivity improvements.
• Continue the maturation of infrastructure including processes,
• Low interest rate environment led to additional pressure
systems and controls to scale with business growth.
on margins.
• Increased competition has led to pressure on margins.
• Manage asset quality.
• Optimize balance sheet and capital structure and grow assets to
deploy excess liquidity such as the announced Target credit card
portfolio purchase to be completed in the first half of fiscal 2013.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORmANCE
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking reported net income, in Canadian
dollar terms, for the year was $1,128 million, a decrease of $60 million,
or 5%, compared with last year. Adjusted net income for the year was
$1,422 million, an increase of $152 million, or 12%, compared with
last year. In U.S. dollar terms, reported net income for the year was
$1,123 million, a decrease of $82 million, or 7%, compared with last
year and adjusted net income was US$1,416 million, an increase of
US$127 million, or 10%. The increase in adjusted earnings was primarily
due to strong loan and deposit volume and higher fee-based revenue,
partially offset by higher expenses to support growth, and the impact of
the Durbin Amendment. Adjusted net income for the current and prior
year excluded integration and restructuring charges relating to acquisi-
tions, litigation reserves and Superstorm Sandy. The reported return on
common equity for the year was 6.4%, while the adjusted return on
common equity was 8.1%.
In U.S. dollar terms, adjusted revenue for the year was
US$6,107 million, an increase of US$289 million, or 5%, compared
with last year driven by increased loan and deposit volume, higher fee-
based revenue, and gains on sales of securities, partially offset by the
impact of the Durbin Amendment and the anticipated run-off in legacy
Chrysler Financial revenue. Average loans increased by US$12 billion,
or 17%, compared with last year with an increase of US$9 billion, or
31% in average personal loans and an increase of US$3 billion, or 8%
in average business loans. Average deposits increased US$17 billion,
or 11%, compared with prior year, including a US$10 billion increase
in average deposits of TD Ameritrade. Excluding the impact of
TD Ameritrade IDAs, average deposit volume increased by US$7 billion,
or 7%. The margin on average earning assets for the year decreased by
13 bps to 3.60% compared with last year primarily due to the low inter-
est rate environment and timing of cash flows on acquired portfolios.
Reported PCL for the year was US$778 million, an increase of
US$80 million, or 11%, compared with last year. Adjusted PCL for
the year was US$723 million, an increase of US$25 million, or 4%,
compared with last year due primarily to organic loan growth, the
acquired credit-impaired loan portfolios and the impact of new regula-
tory guidance on loans discharged in bankruptcies, partially offset by
improved asset quality. Personal banking PCL, excluding debt securities
classified as loans was US$391 million, an increase of US$131 million,
or 50%, from the prior year. Business banking PCL, excluding debt
securities classified as loans was US$320 million, a decrease of
US$43 million, or 12%, compared with prior year. PCL for loans
excluding debt securities classified as loans as a percentage of credit
volume was 0.84%, a decrease of 2 bps, compared with last year.
Net impaired loans, excluding acquired credit-impaired loans and debt
securities classified as loans, were US$1,059 million, a decrease of
US$84 million, or 7%, compared with last year due to continued
improvement in credit quality. Acquired credit-impaired loans were
US$3.8 billion at October 31, 2012 compared with US$5.6 billion at
October 31, 2011, while net impaired debt securities classified as loans
were US$1.3 billion compared with US$1.4 billion at October 31, 2011.
Reported non-interest expenses for the year were US$4,107 million,
an increase of US$464 million, or 13%, compared with last year. On
an adjusted basis, excluding the items of note for litigation reserves,
Superstorm Sandy and integration and restructuring charges, non-
interest expenses were US$3,678 million, an increase of US$181 million,
or 5%, compared with last year due to investments in new stores and
infrastructure, the Chrysler Financial acquisition and economic and
regulatory factors.
The average FTE staffing levels for the year increased by 834, or 3%,
compared with last year due to the Chrysler Financial acquisition and
new stores, partially offset by store closures and consolidations. The
reported efficiency ratio for the year worsened to 67.3%, compared
with 62.7% last year, while the adjusted efficiency ratio for the year
remained flat at 60.2%, compared with last year.
kEy PRODUCT gROUPS
Personal Banking
• Personal Deposits – We continued to build on our reputation as
America’s Most Convenient Bank by opening 41 new stores in fiscal
2012. We delivered strong year-over-year growth driven by maturing
stores and a competitive product offering.
• Consumer Lending – Our 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.
• Residential Real Estate Secured Lending – We grew profitable
market share and franchise customers, with strong credit quality,
during a tough economic environment. Loan volumes have increased
by US$4 billion over last year driven by higher originations. In-store
originations are a key focus to leverage cross-selling opportunities.
• Small Business Banking and Merchant Services – The Small Business
Banking group continues to be among the top ranked small busi-
ness lenders in most of our markets. Merchant Services offer point-
of-sale settlement solutions for debit and credit card transactions,
supporting over 15,000 business locations in our footprint.
Commercial Banking
• Commercial Banking – Commercial and industrial loan demand
increased significantly while commercial real estate demand
remained relatively low resulting in strong overall loan growth
at competitive spreads. Commercial loan volume grew by 8%
organically, significantly outperforming peers. Loan losses continue
to improve throughout the portfolio and our overall asset quality
remains better than the industry.
BUSINESS OUTLOOk AND FOCUS FOR 2013
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 2013. Revenue growth will be muted by
the impact of prolonged low interest rates. Adjusted for acquisi-
tions, the rate of expense growth is expected to decline driven
by productivity improvements while continuing to invest in
future growth including new stores and technology infrastruc-
ture. PCL is expected to continue to normalize in 2013.
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
despite increased competition. The goal of U.S. Personal and
Commercial Banking is to achieve consistent earnings growth
over the long term.
Our key priorities for 2013 are as follows:

CHALLENgES IN 2012
• Low interest rates and low volatility environment.
• Equity issuance activity declined among key corporate clients

• Regulatory changes resulted in a substantial increase
in capital and expense base.
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. Favourable market
conditions during the first half of 2012 contributed to improved trad-
ing and investment banking volumes. Market conditions were mixed
during the second half of the year, but improved following stimulus
injections from central banks resulting in improved liquidity, tightening
credit spreads and higher asset prices.
Equity trading was lower throughout 2012 due to reduced trading
volumes on major exchanges and persistent low volatility. Higher
government and corporate client activity and the low interest rate
environment led to strong fixed income issuance activity throughout
the year. We expect competition to remain intense for transactions
with high quality counterparties as securities firms focus on prudent
risk management. Wholesale banks have shifted their focus to client-
driven trading revenue and fee income to reduce risk and preserve
capital which will continue to result in tighter margins. Looking longer
term, wholesale banks that have a diversified client-focused business
model, offer a wide range of products and services, and exhibit effec-
tive cost management will be well positioned as investor confidence
returns and markets improve.
• In the U.S., our objective is to extend the goals of the Canadian
franchise and leverage our network of U.S. businesses. We will
also continue to grow government fixed income, currency and
commodities trading businesses.
• Globally, we seek to extend the goals of our North American
franchise, including trading in liquid currencies, as well as under-
writing, distributing, and trading high quality fixed income
products of highly rated issuers.
• We support and enhance TD’s brand working in partnership with
other TD segments to offer premium products and services for our
collective client base.

capital to its business segments to align with the future common equity capital
requirements under Basel III at a 7% Common Equity Tier 1 rate. The return
measures for business segments will now be return on common equity rather than
return on invested capital. These changes have been applied prospectively. Return
on invested capital, which was used as the return measure in prior periods, has not
been restated to return on common equity.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL PERFORmANCE
Wholesale Banking net income for the year was $880 million, an
increase of $65 million, or 8%, compared with last year. The increase
in earnings was due to stronger results in our core businesses, partially
offset by reduced securities gains in the investment portfolio. The
return on common equity for the year was 21.2%.
Wholesale Banking revenue is derived primarily from capital markets
services and corporate lending. Revenue for the year was $2,654 million,
an increase of $158 million, or 6%, compared with last year. Capital
markets revenue increased primarily due to improved fixed income and
credit trading, strong debt underwriting, and robust mergers and
acquisitions (M&A) revenue. Fixed income and credit trading revenue
increased due to increased liquidity, tightening credit spreads and periods
of elevated volatility in the market. Debt underwriting fees remained
strong throughout the year. M&A revenue was higher aided by low
interest rates, robust banking markets and ongoing opportunities for
consolidation. Partially offsetting these improvements were lower security
gains from the investment portfolio and weaker equity trading and
underwriting on low industry-wide volumes and volatility.
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 $47 million, an increase of $25 million, compared
with last year. The increase in PCL was primarily due to a loss on a
single name in the corporate lending portfolio. PCL in the prior year
primarily comprised the accrual cost of credit protection.
Non-interest expenses for the year were $1,570 million, an increase
of $102 million, or 7%, compared with last year primarily due to legal
provisions in the current year and higher variable compensation
commensurate with improved revenue.
Risk-weighted assets were $43 billion as at October 31, 2012, an
increase of $8 billion, or 23%, compared with October 31, 2011. The
increase was due to the implementation of the revised Basel II market
risk framework.
The average FTE staffing levels increased by 36, or 1%, compared
with last year.
kEy PRODUCT gROUPS
Investment Banking and Capital Markets
• Investment banking and capital markets revenue, which includes
advisory, underwriting, trading, facilitation, and execution services,
was $1,987 million, an increase of $263 million, or 15%, compared
with the last year. The increase was primarily due to improved fixed
income and credit trading and strong M&A revenue compared to
the prior year. Partially offsetting these increases were lower foreign
exchange revenue, decreased equity underwriting and decreased
commission revenue.
Corporate Banking
• Corporate banking revenue which includes corporate lending, trade
finance and cash management services was $448 million, a decrease
of $5 million compared with last year. Low margin fee revenue was
partially offset by improved trade finance volumes.
Equity Investments
• The equity investment portfolio, which we are in the process of
exiting, consists primarily of private equity investments. Equity
investments reported total gains of $219 million, compared with
gains of $319 million in the prior year.
BUSINESS OUTLOOk AND FOCUS FOR 2013
We expect that markets will remain tentative, and that volatility
and interest rates will continue to trend below long term aver-
ages. A combination of fiscal challenges in Europe and the U.S.,
growing regulatory expectations and increased competition will
affect trading conditions in the medium term. Corporate finance
activity levels are also expected to be negatively impacted as
long as the outlook remains uncertain. m&A fundamentals are
generally positive given low valuations, high cash levels and an
attractive rate environment, but companies may be unwilling to
commit to deals unless economies show more upward momen-
tum. However, as economic conditions stabilize, capital market
activity should increase, resulting in higher origination, m&A
and advisory revenue.
Our key priorities for 2013 are as follows:
• Continue to grow the franchise by broadening and deepening
client relationships and investing in flow-based businesses
including U.S. rates and global currency trading businesses.
• Optimize our relationships with our enterprise partners and
their customers.
• Leverage our core capabilities internationally in select
geographies, primarily in the U.S.
• Focus on client facilitation by supporting market making
activities.
• Continue to invest in an efficient, effective and robust
infrastructure.

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 amortization 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.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
7 During 2008, as a result of deterioration in markets and severe dislocation in the
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 AFS
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 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. 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 agree-
ments, contract termination fees and the write-down of long-lived assets due to
impairment. Integration charges consisted of costs related to information technol-
ogy, 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. Similarly, 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.
12 Effective November 1, 2009, the “General allowance release (increase) in Canadian
Personal and Commercial Banking and Wholesale Banking” includes the TD Financing
Services (formerly VFC Inc.) portfolio. Prior to this, the impact of the TD Financing
Services portfolio was excluded from this item of note.
13 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.
14 The Bank incurred integration charges as a result of the Chrysler Financial
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 integration 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.

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 average
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.
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.
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 infrastructure, partially offset
by lower variable compensation related to lower revenue.
INCOmE TAX EXPENSE
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.
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). For cash dividends payable on the Bank’s
preferred shares, see Notes 15 and 18 to the 2011 Consolidated Financial
Statements. As at October 31, 2011, 901.0 million common shares were
outstanding (2010 – 878.5 million). The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is
subject to the Bank Act and the requirements of OSFI. See Note 18 to the
2011 Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
BALANCE SHEET
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.

FACTORS AFFECTINg ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Total assets were $811 billion as at October 31, 2012, an increase
of $76 billion, or 10%, from October 31, 2011. The net increase was
primarily due to a $32 billion increase in loans (net of allowance for
loan losses), a $29 billion increase in financial assets at fair value
and a $12 billion increase in securities purchased under reverse
repurchase agreements.
Financial assets at fair value increased $29 billion largely due
to an increase in trading securities in Wholesale Banking.
Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements
increased $12 billion driven by an increase in trade volumes in
Wholesale Banking.
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 reinvestment plan and the exercise of stock options.
Loans (net of allowance for loan losses) increased by $32 billion
primarily driven by increases in Canadian Personal and Commercial
Banking and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. The increase in
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking was due to growth in
residential mortgages, the acquisition of MBNA Canada’s credit card
portfolio and growth in business and government loans. U.S. Personal
and Commercial Banking loans increased primarily due to growth in
residential mortgages, business and government loans and indirect
auto loans.
Total liabilities were $762 billion as at October 31, 2012, an increase
of $71 billion, or 10%, from October 31, 2011. The net increase was
primarily due to a $38 billion increase in deposits, a $23 billion
increase in other liabilities and a $10 billion increase in financial
liabilities at fair value.
Financial liabilities at fair value increased $10 billion largely due
to an increase in trading deposits in Wholesale Banking.
Deposits increased $38 billion primarily due to an increase in personal
non-term deposits in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking and
U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking and an increase in business and
government deposits across several segments.
Other liabilities increased $23 billion largely due to an increase in
obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements
and obligations related to securities sold short in Wholesale Banking.
Equity was $49 billion as at October 31, 2012, an increase of $5 billion,
or 11%, from October 31, 2011 primarily due to retained earnings
growth and higher common share capital due to additional common
share issuances through the dividend reinvestment plan and the exercise
of stock options.

Credit Portfolio Quality
AT A gLANCE OVERVIEW
• Loans and acceptances net of allowance for loan losses was
$416 billion, an increase of $31 billion compared with last year.
• Impaired loans net of counterparty-specific and individually
insignificant allowance was $2,100 million, an increase of
$37 million compared with last year.
• Provision for credit losses was $1,795 million, compared with
$1,490 million in the prior year.
• Total allowance for loan losses increased by $330 million
to $2,644 million in 2012.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
Overall in 2012, 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 environment.
During 2012, the loans and acceptances portfolio continued to be
diversified between personal, business and government exposures. The
Bank increased its credit portfolio by $31 billion, or 8%, from the prior
year, largely due to volume growth in the Canadian and U.S. Personal
and Commercial Banking segments and the acquisition of the MBNA
Canada credit card portfolio.
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 instruments
and derivative financial instruments, as explained in Note 32 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISk
The Bank’s loan portfolio continued to be dominated by Canadian and
U.S. residential mortgages, consumer instalment and other personal
loans, and credit cards, representing 73% of net loans including
acceptances, up from 72% in 2011. During the year, these portfolios
increased by $26 billion, or 9%, and totalled $304 billion at year end.
Residential mortgages represented 41% of the portfolio in 2012, up
from 40% in 2011. Consumer instalment and other personal loans,
and credit cards were 32% of total loans net of counterparty-specific
and individually insignificant allowances in 2012, consistent with 2011.
The Bank’s business and government credit exposure was 25% of
total loans net of counterparty-specific and individually insignificant
allowances, in line with 2011. The largest business and government
sector concentrations in Canada were the real estate and financial
sectors, which comprised 5% and 2% of total loans and acceptances
net of counterparty-specific and individually insignificant allowance for
loan losses, respectively. Real estate was the leading U.S. sector of
concentration and represented 3% of net loans, consistent with 2011.
Geographically, the credit portfolio remained concentrated in
Canada. In 2012, the percentage of loans held in Canada was 76%,
down from 77% in 2011. The largest Canadian exposure was in
Ontario, which represented 64% of total loans net of counterparty-
specific and individually insignificant allowance for loan losses for
2012, consistent with 2011.
The balance of the credit portfolio was predominantly in the U.S.,
which represented 22% of the portfolio, up from 19% in 2011 primar-
ily due to volume growth in residential mortgages, consumer indirect
auto and business and government loans. Exposures to debt securities
classified as loans, acquired credit-impaired loans, and other geographic
regions were 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 counterparty-specific and individually insignificant allowances,
consistent with 2011.

ImPAIRED LOANS
An impaired loan is any loan when there is objective evidence that there
has been a deterioration of credit quality to the extent that the Bank no
longer has reasonable assurance as to the timely collection of the full
amount of principal and interest. Excluding debt securities classified as
loans, FDIC covered loans and other acquired credit-impaired loans,
gross impaired loans increased $25 million, or 1% over 2011. Gross
impaired loan formations increased year over year by $646 million,
primarily driven by the acquisition of the MBNA Canada credit card
portfolio and reclassifications of certain past due accounts in Canada
and performing loans in the U.S.
In Canada, net impaired loans increased by $118 million, or 13%
in 2012 primarily due to an adjustment on certain past due home
equity lines of credit accounts, and the acquisition of the MBNA
Canada credit card portfolio. Residential mortgages, consumer instal-
ment and other personal loans, and credit cards, generated impaired
loans net of counterparty-specific and individually insignificant allow-
ances of $910 million, an increase of $74 million, or 9%, over 2011.
Business and government loans generated $132 million in net impaired
loans, an increase of $44 million, or 50%, over 2011. Business and
government impaired loans were distributed across industry sectors.
In the U.S., net impaired loans decreased by $81 million, or 7% in
2012 primarily due to continued improvement in business and govern-
ment loans offset by volume growth and one-time reclassifications of
personal loans in line with regulatory guidance. Business and govern-
ment loans generated $663 million in net impaired loans, a decrease
of $233 million, or 26%, over 2011. Business and government
impaired loans were highly concentrated in the real estate sector. Net
impaired loan decreases across industry sectors in 2012 were due to
improved credit quality. Residential mortgages, consumer instalment
and other personal loans, and credit cards, generated net impaired
loans of $395 million, an increase of $152 million, or 63%, over 2011,
due primarily to volume growth and one-time reclassifications of
certain performing loans in line with regulatory guidance.
Geographically, 50% of total impaired loans net of counterparty-
specific and individually insignificant allowances were generated in
Canada and 50% in the U.S. Net impaired loans in Canada were
concentrated in Ontario, which represented 24% of total net impaired
loans, up from 20% in 2011. U.S. net impaired loans were concen-
trated in New Jersey and New York, representing 12% and 7% of
net impaired loans, flat with 12% and 7% respectively, in 2011.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Total allowance for credit losses consists of counterparty-specific and
collectively assessed allowances. The allowance is increased by the
provision for credit losses, and decreased by write-offs net of recover-
ies. 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.
Counterparty-specific Allowance
The Bank establishes counterparty-specific allowances for impaired
loans when the estimated realizable value of the loan is less than its
recorded value, based on the discounting of expected future cash flows.
Counterparty-specific allowances for loan losses are established to
reduce the book value of loans to their estimated realizable amounts.
During 2012, counterparty-specific allowances decreased by
$11 million, or 3%, resulting in a total counterparty-specific allowance
of $386 million. Excluding debt securities classified as loans, FDIC
covered loans and other acquired credit-impaired loans, counterparty-
specific allowance decreased by $18 million, or 10% from the prior year.
Collectively assessed allowance for individually insignificant
impaired loans
Individually insignificant loans, such as the Bank’s personal and small
business banking loans and credit cards, are collectively assessed for
impairment. Allowances are calculated using a formula that incorpo-
rates recent loss experience, historical default rates, and the type of
collateral pledged.
During 2012, collectively assessed allowance for individually insig-
nificant impaired loans increased by $43 million, or 16%, resulting
in a total collectively assessed allowance for individually insignificant
impaired loans of $317 million. Excluding FDIC covered loans and
other acquired credit–impaired loans, collectively assessed allowance
for individually insignificant impaired loans increased by $6 million,
or 2% from the prior year.
46
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
Collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not identified
credit losses
The collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not identified credit
losses 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 level of collectively assessed
allowance for incurred but not identified losses reflects exposures
across all portfolios and categories. The collectively assessed allowance
for incurred but not identified allowance for credit losses 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) of the
related portfolios. 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. 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
collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not identified credit
losses is calculated on a portfolio level and is based on statistical esti-
mates of loss using historical loss and forecasted balances. Recovery
data models are used in the management of Canadian retail portfolios
and are validated against historical experience.
At October 31, 2012 the collectively assessed allowance for incurred
but not identified loan losses was $1,943 million, up from $1,645 million
at October 31, 2011. Excluding debt securities classified as loans
collectively assessed allowance for incurred but not identified loan
losses increased by $292 million, or 20% from the prior year primarily
due to the acquisition of the MBNA Canada credit card portfolio.
The Bank periodically reviews the methodology for calculating the
allowance for incurred but not identified credit losses. As part of this
review, certain revisions may be made to reflect updates in statistically
derived loss estimates for the Bank’s recent loss experience of its credit
portfolios, which may cause the Bank to provide or release amounts
from the allowance for incurred but not identified losses. During the
year ended October 31, 2012, certain refinements, not material indi-
vidually or in aggregate, were made to the methodology, and the
resulting net reduction was included as an item of note. Allowance
for credit losses are more fully described in Note 7 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
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 counter-
party-specific and collectively assessed 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 in the year.
The Bank recorded total provision for credit losses of $1,795 million
in 2012, compared with a total provision of $1,490 million in 2011.
This amount comprised $1,575 million of counterparty-specific and
individually insignificant provisions and $220 million in collectively
assessed incurred but not identified provisions. Total provision for
credit losses as a percentage of net average loans and acceptances
increased to 0.45% from 0.42% in 2011 primarily due to the acquisi-
tion of the MBNA Canada credit card portfolio.
In Canada, residential mortgages, consumer instalment and other
personal loans, and credit cards, required counterparty-specific and
individually insignificant provisions of $731 million, a decrease of
$34 million, or 4%, over 2011. Business and government loans
required counterparty-specific and individually insignificant provisions
of $105 million, an increase of $47 million, or 81%, over 2011.
Business and government counterparty-specific and individually
insignificant provisions were distributed across all industry sectors.
In the U.S., residential mortgages, consumer instalment and other
personal loans, and credit cards, required counterparty-specific and
individually insignificant provisions of $319 million, an increase of
$105 million, or 49%, over 2011. Business and government loans
required counterparty-specific and individually insignificant provisions
of $300 million, an increase of $48 million, or 19%, over 2011. Similar
to impaired loans, business and government counterparty-specific and
individually insignificant provisions were highly concentrated in the real
estate sector. The increase in allowance for credit losses is partially due
to a provision of $54 million related to Superstorm Sandy.
Geographically, 53% of counterparty-specific and individually
insignificant provisions were attributed to Canada and 39% to the
U.S. Canadian counterparty-specific provisions were concentrated
in Ontario, which represented 39% of total counterparty-specific
provisions, down from 43% in 2011. U.S. counterparty-specific provi-
sions were concentrated in New Jersey and New York, representing
6% and 5% of total counterparty-specific provisions, compared to
8% and 4% respectively in 2011.

Non-Prime Loans
As at October 31, 2012, the Bank had approximately $2.3 billion gross
exposure to non-prime loans, which primarily consists of automotive
loans originated in Canada. The credit loss rate, which is an indicator
of credit quality and is defined as the average PCL divided by the
average month-end loan balance, was approximately 5% on an annual
basis. The portfolio continues to perform as expected. These loans are
recorded at amortized cost.

1 Includes funded loans and banker’s acceptances.
2 Includes undrawn commitments and letters of credit.
Of the Bank’s European exposure, approximately 97% is to counter-
parties in countries rated AAA by either Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s
(S&P), with the majority of this exposure to the sovereigns themselves
and to well rated, systemically important banks in these countries.
Derivatives and securities repurchase transactions are completed on
a collateralized basis. The vast majority of derivatives exposure is offset
by cash collateral while the repurchase transactions are backed largely
by government securities rated AA- or better by either Moody’s or
S&P, and cash. The Bank also takes a limited amount of exposure
to well rated corporate issuers in Europe where the Bank also does
business with their related entities in North America.
In addition to the European exposure identified above, the Bank
also has $3.6 billion of direct exposure to Supranational entities with
European sponsorship, and the following indirect exposure: $493 million
of European collateral from non-European counterparties related to repo
and securities lending transactions that are margined daily; $53 million
of European collateral relating to exposure to a Special Purpose Vehicle
that has been in run-off since 2008; and $20 million invested in European
diversified investment funds.
As part of the Bank’s usual credit risk and exposure monitoring
processes, all exposures are reviewed on a regular basis. European
exposures are reviewed monthly or more frequently as circumstances
dictate and are periodically stress tested to identify and understand
any potential vulnerabilities. Based on the most recent reviews, all
European exposures are considered manageable.

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.
ACI loans were acquired through the South Financial acquisition,
the FDIC-assisted acquisitions, which include FDIC covered loans
subject to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, the Chrysler
Financial acquisition, and the acquisition of the MBNA Canada credit
card portfolio. The following table presents the unpaid principal
balance, carrying value, allowance for counterparty-specific credit
losses, allowance for individually insignificant credit losses and the net
carrying value as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance for ACI
loans as at October 31, 2012.

EXPOSURE TO NON-AgENCy COLLATERALIZED mORTgAgE
OBLIgATIONS (CmO)
Due to the acquisition of Commerce Bancorp Inc., 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 –
counterparty-specific and collectively assessed. Counterparty-specific
allowances represent individually significant loans, such as the Bank’s
business and government loans and debt securities classified as loans,
which are assessed for whether impairment exists at the counterparty-
specific level. Collectively assessed allowances consist of loans for
which no impairment is identified on a counterparty-specific level and
are grouped into portfolios of exposures with similar credit risk charac-
teristics to collectively assess if impairment exists at the portfolio level.
The allowance for losses that are incurred but not identified as at
October 31, 2012 was US$156 million. The total provision for credit
losses recognized in 2012 was US$12 million compared to
US$51 million in 2011.

The following table presents the unpaid principal balance, carrying
value, allowance for credit losses, and the net carrying value as
a percentage of the par value for the non-agency CMO portfolio
at October 31, 2012. As of October 31, 2012 the balance of the
remaining acquisition-related incurred loss was US$315 million
(2011 – US$420 million); this amount is reflected below as a component
of the discount from par to carrying value.

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, 14% 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.

1 Prior to 2012, the amounts are calculated based on Canadian GAAP.
2 In accordance with CICA Handbook Section 3860, the Bank is required to classify
certain classes of preferred shares and innovative Tier 1 capital investments as
liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For regulatory capital purposes, these
capital instruments have been grandfathered by OSFI and continue to be included
in Tier 1 capital.
3 As at November 2011, the one month lag for Financial reporting has been
eliminated. In previous months, for accounting purposes, the Bank’s investment
in TD Ameritrade was translated using the month-end rate of TD Ameritrade’s
reporting period, which was on a one month lag. For regulatory purposes only,
the Bank’s investment in TD Ameritrade was translated using the period-end
foreign exchange rate of the Bank.
4 When expected loss as calculated within the Internal Risk Based (IRB) approach
exceeds total allowance for credit losses, the difference is deducted 50% from
Tier 1 capital and 50% from Tier 2 capital. When expected loss as calculated
within the IRB approach is less than the total allowance for credit losses, the
difference is added to Tier 2 capital.
5 Based on OSFI advisory letter dated February 20, 2007, 100% of investments
in insurance subsidiaries held prior to January 1, 2007 are deducted from Tier 2
capital. The 50% from Tier 1 capital and 50% from Tier 2 capital deduction was
deferred until 2012.
6 OSFI’s target Tier 1 and Total capital ratios for Canadian banks are 7% and 10%,
respectively.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 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; and
– 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.
REgULATORy CAPITAL
Basel II Capital Framework
The Bank complies with the OSFI guideline for calculating RWA
and regulatory 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 introduced 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 methodologies, 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, IFRS 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 $31.0 billion as at October 31, 2012, up from
$28.5 billion last year. The increase to Tier 1 capital was largely due
to strong earnings. Capital management funding activities during the
year included the common shares issuance of $1.2 billion under the
dividend reinvestment plan and stock option exercises. The Bank
adopted IFRS on November 1, 2011. OSFI’s relief provision permits
phase-in of the impact of IFRS in the calculation of regulatory capital
on a straight-line basis over five quarters from November 1, 2011 to
January 31, 2013. The IFRS impact on Tier 1 capital is $1,937 million,
of which $1,550 million is included as at October 31, 2012. Effective
November 1, 2011, the Bank was also required to follow the new
requirement to deduct insurance subsidiaries 50% from Tier 1 capital
and 50% from Tier 2 capital.
Tier 2 Capital
Subsequent to year-end, on November 1, 2012, the Bank redeemed
$2.5 billion of subordinated debentures, which qualified as Tier 2
regulatory capital. See Note 17 to the Bank’s Consolidated Financial
Statements for more details.

1 Prior to Q1 2012, the amounts are calculated based on Canadian GAAP.
During the year, RWA increased $27.1 billion, primarily due to the
following reasons: the Basel 2.5 changes related to market risk
amendment, closing of the MBNA acquisition in the first quarter
of 2012, and organic growth in the retail and commercial businesses
in both Canada and the U.S.
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 practices which
help inform the Bank’s overall capital adequacy requirements.
The ICAAP is facilitated by Risk Management and is supported by
numerous functional areas who together help determine the Bank’s
internal capital adequacy assessment. This assessment ultimately repre-
sents 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
determine 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.
As at October 31, 2012, the quarterly dividend was $0.77 per share,
consistent with the Bank’s current target payout range of 40-50%
of adjusted earnings. Cash dividends declared and paid during 2012
totalled $2.89 per share (2011 – $2.61). For cash dividends payable on
the Bank’s preferred shares, see Notes 18 and 21 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. As at October 31, 2012, 916.1 million common
shares were outstanding (2011 – 901.0 million). The Bank’s ability to
pay dividends is subject to the Bank Act and the requirements of OSFI.
See Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
details on dividend restrictions.
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, risk-weighted assets
(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 12.6% and 15.7%,
respectively, on October 31, 2012, compared with 13% and 16%,
respectively, on October 31, 2011. The year-over-year changes were
influenced by several factors, including the increase in RWA partially
offset by the increase in capital described above in Tier 1. As at
October 31, 2012, the Bank exceeded its internal medium-term target
for Tier 1 capital.
56
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
In October 2012, the BCBS issued the final rules text on domestic
systemically important banks (D-SIBs). The D-SIB framework takes
a complementary perspective to the G-SIB rules by focusing on the
impact that distressed or failed banks will have on the domestic
economy. The document sets out a framework of principles for the
assessment methodology and the higher loss absorbency require-
ments. The D-SIB document is principle-based, as such, OSFI has
discretion (consistent with the BCBS document) to establish the D-SIB
assessment methodology and calibrate the level of loss absorbency
requirements. OSFI is expected to undertake D-SIB assessment for
Canadian banks on a regular basis and may require a bank to hold
higher minimum capital than prescribed in the Basel III rules.
In August 2012, OSFI issued a revised Capital Adequacy Requirements
(CAR) Guideline for public comment, which incorporates the Basel III
capital rules and will be effective in January 2013. The comment period
ended on September 28, 2012. 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 or OSFI’s CAR guideline, as
currently drafted. The proposed guideline contains two methodologies
for capital ratio calculation: (i) the “transitional” method; and (ii) the
“all-in” method.
Under the “transitional” methodology, changes in capital treatment
for certain items, as well as minimum capital ratio requirements, will
be phased in over the period from 2013 to 2019. Based on our current
understanding and assumptions, if we apply the “transitional” method
as defined in the proposed guideline, we expect our CET1 ratio to be
approximately 12.0% as at October 31, 2012.
Under the “all-in” methodology, capital is defined to include all of
the regulatory adjustments that will be required by 2019 while retain-
ing the phase-out rules for non-qualifying capital instruments. Pursuant
to the proposed guideline, OSFI expects all institutions to attain an
“all-in” target CET1 ratio of at least 7% by the first quarter of 2013
and an “all-in” target total Tier 1 ratio of at least 8.5% and target
Total capital ratio of at least 10.5% by the first quarter of 2014. Based
on our current understanding and assumptions, we estimate the Bank’s
pro forma CET1 ratio to be approximately 8.2% as at October 31, 2012,
if the “all-in” methodology was applied.
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 addition, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% will be
required.
Based on our understanding of OSFI’s proposed guideline, we have
met all capital adequacy 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 regard-
ing the use of redemption rights triggered by regulatory event clauses
in non-qualifying capital instruments, we expect to exercise a regula-
tory event redemption right only in 2022 in respect of the TD Capital
Trust IV Notes – Series 2 outstanding at that time. As at October 31,
2012, 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 7, 2011 press release, which is available on the Bank’s
website at www.td.com.

FUTURE CHANgES IN BASEL
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
directing that in order to comply with the NVCC requirements, effective
January 1, 2013, non-common capital instruments in Canada will be
required to have a full and permanent conversion feature into equity
at the point of non-viability.
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% to 2.5% of additional capital above the Basel
III Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) requirement, phasing-in over four
years beginning January 1, 2016. The methodology for the identifica-
tion of G-SIBs uses an indicator-based approach consisting of five
broad categories: size, interconnectedness, lack of substitutability,
global (cross-jurisdictional) activity and complexity. G-SIBs will be
required to meet additional requirements exclusively through common
equity. The Financial Stability Board (FSB) announced 28 G-SIBs in its
recent assessment. No Canadian banks were designated as a G-SIB.
This list will be reassessed by the FSB annually.

gROUP FINANCIAL CONDITION
Securitization and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, the Bank engages in a variety of
financial transactions that, under IFRS, 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 raise capital, obtain
sources of liquidity 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 take the form of a
corporation, trust, partnership or unincorporated entity. SPEs are
consolidated by the Bank where the substance of the relationship
between the Bank and the entity indicates control. Potential indicators
of control include, amongst others, an assessment of the Bank’s expo-
sure to the risks and rewards of the SPE. The potential consolidation
of SPEs is assessed at inception of each entity, and has been revisited
upon transition to IFRS. Additionally, the consolidation analysis is revis-
ited at least quarterly if a change in circumstance would indicate that a
reassessment is necessary. For example, this would occur if subsequent
to the initial assessment the Bank appears to gain additional control or
decision making power over the SPE, a reassessment is performed
to determine whether the SPE is consolidated. 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 operat-
ing 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.
Securitization of Bank-Originated Assets
The Bank securitizes residential mortgages, personal loans, automobile
loans, credit card loans, and business and government loans to
enhance its liquidity position, to diversify sources of funding and to
optimize the management of the balance sheet. Certain automobile
loans acquired by the Bank as part of the acquisition of Chrysler
Financial were originated in the U.S. and sold to U.S. securitization
structures. All other 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 and consolidated SPEs, and non-SPE third
parties are as follows:

1 Included in the table above are all assets securitized by the Bank, irrespective
of whether they are on- or off-balance sheet for accounting purposes, including
those that did not qualify for derecognition.
3 Included in personal loans as at October 31, 2012 are $361 million of automobile
loans acquired as part of the Bank’s acquisition of Chrysler Financial (October 31,
2011 – $2,075 million).
2 Retained interest relating to multi-unit residential and social housing mortgage
loans were reclassified from residential mortgage loans to business and govern-
ment loans. Securitized mortgages corresponding to these retained interests have
also been included in business and government loans. These changes have been
applied retroactively.
4 In securitization transactions that the Bank has undertaken for its own assets,
it has acted as an originating bank and retained securitization exposure from
a capital perspective.
Residential Mortgage Loans
The Bank securitizes residential mortgage loans through significant
unconsolidated SPEs and Canadian non-SPE third-parties. Residential
mortgage loans securitized by the Bank may give rise to full or partial
derecognition of the financial assets depending on the individual
arrangement of each transaction. In instances where the Bank either
fully or partially derecognizes residential mortgage loans, the Bank may
be exposed to the risks of transferred loans through retained interests.
As at October 31, 2012, the Bank has not recognized any retained
interests due to the securitization of residential mortgage loans on
its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
Consumer Instalment and Other Personal Loans
The Bank securitizes consumer instalment and other personal loans
through consolidated SPEs. The Bank consolidates the SPEs as they serve
as financing vehicles for the Bank’s assets, and the Bank is exposed to
the majority of the residual risks of the SPEs. As at October 31, 2012,
the SPEs issued $5.1 billion (2011 – $5.1 billion) of issued commercial
paper outstanding and $0.3 billion (2011 – $1.8 billion) of issued notes
outstanding. As at October 31, 2012, the Bank’s maximum potential
exposure to loss for these conduits was $5.5 billion (2011 – $7.2 billion)
of which $1.1 billion (2011 – $1.1 billion) of underlying consumer
instalment and other personal loans was government insured.
Business and Government Loans
Business and government loans securitized by the Bank may be
derecognized from the Bank’s balance sheet depending on the
individual arrangement of each transaction. In instances where the
Bank fully derecognizes business and government loans, the Bank may
be exposed to the risks of transferred loans through retained interests.
There are no expected credit losses on the retained interests of the
securitized business and government loans as the mortgages are all
government insured.
Credit Card Loans
The Bank securitizes credit card loans through an SPE. On December 1,
2011, the Bank acquired substantially all of the credit card portfolio of
MBNA Canada. As a result of the acquisition, the Bank has consolidated
the SPE as it serves as a financing vehicle for the Bank’s assets, and the
Bank is exposed to the majority of the residual risks of the SPE. As at
October 31, 2012, the consolidated SPE had $1.3 billion of issued notes
outstanding. As at October 31, 2012, the Bank’s maximum potential
exposure to loss for this SPE was $1.3 billion. Prior to December 1, 2011,
the Bank did not consolidate the SPE.
Securitization of Third Party Originated Assets
The Bank administers multi-seller conduits and provides liquidity facili-
ties 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 inter-
est in commercial paper and through the provision of liquidity facilities
for multi-seller conduits was $7.5 billion as at October 31, 2012
(October 31, 2011 – $5.5 billion). Further, as at October 31, 2012, the
Bank has committed to provide an additional $2.2 billion (October 31,
2011 – $2.1 billion) in liquidity facilities that can be used to support
future asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) in the purchase of deal-
specific assets. As at October 31, 2012, the Bank also provided no
deal-specific credit enhancement (October 31, 2011 – $17 million).
All third-party assets securitized by the Bank were originated in
Canada and sold to Canadian securitization structures. Details of the
Bank-administered multi-seller, ABCP conduits are as follows:

1 The Bank’s total liquidity facility exposure only relates to ‘AAA’ rated assets.
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
weighted-average life of the assets for amortizing pools.
As at October 31, 2012, the Bank held $128 million (October 31,
2011 – $790 million) of ABCP issued by Bank-sponsored multi-seller
conduits within the trading loans, securities and other 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 $500 million as at October 31, 2012
(October 31, 2011 – $349 million) of which nil (October 31, 2011 – nil)
has been drawn. The assets within these conduits are comprised of indi-
vidual notes backed by automotive loan receivables. As at October 31,
2012, 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, 2012 and
October 31, 2011 was not significant.
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

control processes in place to mitigate these risks. Certain commitments
still remain off-balance sheet. Note 30 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 30 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements are leveraged finance credit commit-
ments. Leveraged finance credit 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 credit commitments as at October 31, 2012 was not
significant (October 31, 2011 – not significant).
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, written options,
and indemnification agreements. Certain guarantees remain off-
balance sheet. See Note 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
for further information regarding the accounting for guarantees.

TRANSACTIONS WITH EQUITy-ACCOUNTED INVESTEES
TD AMERITRADE
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement in relation to the Bank’s
equity investment in TD Ameritrade, the Bank designated five of 12
members to TD Ameritrade’s Board of Directors including the Bank’s
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.
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

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 $834 million in 2012 (2011 – $762 million)
to TD Ameritrade for the deposit accounts. The fee paid by the Bank
is based on the average insured deposit balance of $60.3 billion in 2012
(2011 – $49.3 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 bps and is reimbursed for the
cost of FDIC insurance premiums.
As at October 31, 2012, amounts receivable from TD Ameritrade
were $129 million (October 31, 2011 – $97 million). As at October 31,
2012, amounts payable to TD Ameritrade were $87 million (October 31,
2011 – $84 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 $128 million (2011 – $139 million) for
these services. As at October 31, 2012, the amount payable to Symcor
was $10 million (October 31, 2011 – $12 million).
The Bank and two other shareholder banks have also provided
a $100 million unsecured loan facility to Symcor which was undrawn
as at October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011.
as trading, loans and securities designated at fair value through profit
or loss, 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 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” – Determination
of Fair Value section of the 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.

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, Economic and Monetary 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 both in these countries and interna-
tionally. 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 favour-
ing 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 institu-
tions, 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, impacting pricing and increas-
ing 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 finan-
cial 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.
The Bank, or its subsidiaries, is named as a defendant or is otherwise
involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings, including class
actions and other litigation or disputes with third parties. All of the
Bank’s material legal and regulatory proceedings are disclosed in its
Consolidated Financial Statements. These material pending proceed-
ings include both customer transaction and fraud-related litigation.
There is no assurance that the volume of claims and the amount of
damages and penalties claimed in litigation, arbitration and regulatory
proceedings will not increase in the future. Actions currently pending
against the Bank may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties,
disgorgements, injunctions, business improvement orders or other
results adverse to the Bank, which could materially adversely affect the
Bank’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows;
require material changes in the Bank’s operations; or cause serious
reputational harm to the Bank. Moreover, some claims asserted against
the Bank may be highly complex, and include novel or untested legal
theories. The outcome of such proceedings may be difficult to predict
or estimate until late in the proceedings, which may last several years.
In addition, settlement or other resolution of certain types of matters
are subject to external approval, which may or may not be granted.
Although the Bank establishes accruals for its litigation and regulatory
matters according to accounting requirements, the amount of loss
ultimately incurred in relation to those matters may substantially differ
from the amounts accrued. As a participant in the financial services
industry, it is likely that the Bank will continue to experience significant
litigation and regulatory proceedings related to its businesses and
operations. For additional information relating to the Bank’s material
legal proceedings see Note 30 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis The following discussion relating to regulatory developments is not
exhaustive and other developments, including the regulations and
interpretations to be issued under the Dodd-Frank Act in the U.S.,
could also affect our results. The Bank is monitoring these develop-
ments and will take action to mitigate the impact on its business,
where possible.
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Global Standards for Capital
and Liquidity Reform (Basel III)
In response to the global financial crisis, the BCBS has been reviewing
standards for capital and liquidity. The BCBS’s aim is to improve the
banking sector’s ability to absorb shocks from financial and economic
stress through more stringent capital requirements and new liquidity
standards. Banks around the world are preparing to implement the new
standards commonly referred to as Basel III in accordance with prescribed
timelines. Based on our current understanding and assumptions, we
estimate the Bank’s pro forma Common Equity Tier 1 ratio to be approxi-
mately 8.2% as at October 31, 2012, if the “all-in” methodology as set
out in OSFI’s proposed guideline was applied. Under “all-in” methodol-
ogy, capital is defined to include all of the regulatory adjustments that
will be required by 2019 while retaining the phase-out rules for non-
qualifying capital instruments. Based on our current understanding of
OSFI’s proposed guideline, we have met all capital adequacy require-
ments. As such, it is not anticipated that the Bank will need to make
significant changes to its business operations or raise additional common
equity to meet the Basel III requirements. For more detail on Basel III,
see the “Future Changes in Basel” section of the fiscal 2012 MD&A.
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
On July 21, 2010 the President of the United States signed into law
the Dodd-Frank Act that provides for widespread changes to the U.S.
financial industry. At over 2,300 pages in length, the Act will ultimately
affect every financial institution operating in the U.S., including the
Bank, and due to certain extraterritorial aspects of the Act, will impact
the Bank’s operations outside the U.S., including in Canada. 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 derivatives, and executive compensation,
among others. The Dodd-Frank Act also calls for the issuance of over
240 regulatory rulemakings as well as numerous studies and on-going
reports as part of its implementation. Accordingly, while the Act will
have an effect on the business of the Bank, especially its business
operations in the U.S., the full impact on the Bank will not be known
until such time as the implementing regulations are fully released and
finalized. The Bank continues to monitor closely the Dodd-Frank Act
developments and will analyze the impact that such regulatory and
legislative changes may have on its businesses.
Dodd-Frank Act – Volcker Rule
On November 10, 2011, the Department of the Treasury, the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) jointly released a proposed rule implementing Section 619 of
the Dodd-Frank Act (the “Volcker Rule” or the “Rule”). The Commodity
Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) issued a substantially similar
proposal on January 13, 2012. The Bank is in the process of analyzing
and planning for the implementation of the proposed Volcker Rule. The
Rule broadly prohibits proprietary trading and places limitations on other
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. The Rule is also
expected to 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 holds. Under the current proposal, the provi-
sions of the Rule are applicable to banking entities, including non-U.S.
banks such as the Bank which control insured depository institutions
in the U.S. or are treated as bank holding companies by virtue of main-
taining a branch or agency in the U.S. The proposed Rule applies to
affiliates or subsidiaries of the Bank: the terms “affiliate” and “subsid-
iary” are defined by the rule to include those entities controlled by or
under common control with the Bank. As currently proposed, the Rule
requires the implementation of a comprehensive compliance program
and monitoring of certain quantitative risk metrics as well as compli-
ance monitoring and reporting programs. On April 19, 2012, the FRB,
on behalf of itself and the other agencies, issued guidance stating that
full conformance with the Rule will not be required until July 21, 2014,
unless that period is extended by the FRB. The agencies have not indi-
cated when the final Rule will be published. While the Rule is expected
to have an adverse effect on certain of the Bank’s businesses, the extent
of the impact will not be known until such time as the current proposal
is finalized. At the current time, the impact is not expected to be
material to the Bank.
Dodd-Frank Act – Durbin Amendment
The Durbin Amendment contained in the Dodd-Frank Act authorizes the
FRB to issue regulations that set interchange fees which are “reason-
able 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 implementation 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 has impacted and
is expected to continue to impact gross revenue by approximately
US$50-60 million pre-tax per quarter. For more detail on the impact
of the Durbin Amendment, see the U.S. Personal and Commercial
Banking Business segment disclosure in the “Business Segment
Analysis” section of this document.
Payments System in Canada and the U.S.
Various developments may impact the payments system in Canada
and the U.S. including the outcome of: challenges in Canada to certain
payment card network rules (including the Honour All Cards and No
Surcharge rules) before the Canadian Competition Tribunal, class
actions in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan against
Canadian banks, Visa and MasterCard regarding the setting of inter-
change fees (and a proposed settlement of a similar multi-district class
action in the United States), class actions in Quebec regarding the
application of Quebec’s Consumer Protection Act to credit card prac-
tices of federal banks. These developments may also negatively impact
the Bank’s current business practices and financial performance.
Over-the-Counter Derivatives Reform
Over-the-counter derivatives markets globally are facing profound
changes in the capital regimes, national regulatory frameworks and
market infrastructures in which they operate. One of the changes is
that the Bank is required to clear over-the-counter derivatives through
a central counterparty. Similar to the other Canadian banks’ wholesale
banking businesses, the impact of these changes on TD Securities’
client and trading-related derivatives revenues is uncertain.
The Bank is monitoring international and Canadian developments
and proposed reforms, and will take action to mitigate the impact
on its business, where possible. The changes may result in significant
systems changes, less flexible trading options, higher capital require-
ments, more stringent regulatory requirements along with some
potential benefits as a result of reduced risk through central counter-
party clearing.
62
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis 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.
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, there would be an impact on 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,
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 telecom-
munications 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 other-
wise 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.
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.
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 2 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements. The Bank has transitioned 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 38 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 (including technology), repu-
tational, insur ance, strategic, regulatory, legal, environmental, capital
adequacy, 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.

Managing Risk
EXECUTIVE SUmmARy
Growing profitably in financial services involves selectively taking and
managing risks within TD’s risk appetite.
TD’s Enterprise Risk Framework (ERF) reinforces TD’s risk culture,
which emphasizes transparency and accountability, and provides
stakeholders with a common understanding of how we manage risk.
The ERF addresses: 1) the nature of the risks to TD’s business strategy
and operations, 2) how TD defines the types of risk it is exposed to,
3) risk management governance, and 4) how TD manages risk through
processes that identify, measure, assess, control and monitor risk.
TD’s risk management resources and processes are designed to enable
all our businesses to understand the risks they face and to manage
them within TD’s risk appetite.
RISkS INVOLVED IN OUR BUSINESSES
TD’s Risk Inventory sets out TD’s major risk categories and related
subcategories and identifies and defines a broad number of risks to
which our businesses and operations could be exposed. This inventory
facilitates consistent enterprise risk identification. It is the starting
point in developing appropriate risk strategies and processes to
manage TD’s exposure to key risks. TD’s major risk categories are:
Strategic Risk, Credit Risk, Market Risk, Liquidity Risk, Operational Risk,
Insurance Risk, Regulatory and Legal Risk, Capital Adequacy Risk, and
Reputational Risk.

RISk APPETITE
TD’s risk appetite statement is the primary means used to communi-
cate how TD views risk and determines the risks it is willing to take.
TD takes into account its mission, vision, guiding principles, strategy,
as well as TD’s risk philosophy and capacity to bear risk in defining its
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.
In applying its risk appetite, TD considers both current conditions
in which it operates and the impact that emerging risks will have on
TD’s strategy and risk profile. Adherence to enterprise risk appetite is
managed and monitored across TD and is based on a broad collection
of principles, policies, processes and tools, including risk appetite
statements and related metrics for major risk categories and the
business segments.
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. The function also monitors and
evaluates the effectiveness of these practices and metrics. Key metrics
are reported regularly to senior management, the Board and the Risk
Committee of the Board (Risk Committee). Other metrics are tracked
on an ongoing basis by management, and escalated to senior manage-
ment and at the Board level, as required. TD measures management’s
performance against its risk appetite metrics; this is used as a key input
into the compensation decision process.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
WHO mANAgES RISk
Our risk governance structure emphasizes and balances strong central
oversight and control of risk with clear accountability for, and ownership
of, risk within each business unit. Under TD’s approach to risk gover-
nance, the business owns the risk that it generates and is responsible
for assessing risk, designing and implementing controls and monitoring
and reporting their ongoing effectiveness to safeguard TD from
exceeding its risk appetite.
TD’s risk governance model includes a senior management commit-
tee structure to support transparent risk reporting and discussion with
overall risk and control oversight provided by the Board and its commit-
tees (primarily the Audit and Risk Committees). The CEO and Senior
Executive Team (SET) determine TD’s long-term direction within the
Bank’s risk appetite and apply it to the businesses. Risk Management,
headed by the Group Head and Chief Risk Officer (CRO), sets enterprise
risk strategy and policy and provides independent oversight to support
a comprehensive and proactive risk management approach for TD. The
CRO, who is also a member of the SET, has direct access to the Risk
Committee. TD also employs a “three lines of defence” model to
describe the role of business segments, governance, risk and control
groups, such as the Risk Management, anti-money laundering (AML)
and Compliance functions, and Internal Audit in managing risk across
TD. The following section provides an overview of the key roles and
responsibilities involved in risk management and are depicted in the

The Board
The Board oversees TD’s strategic direction and the implementation of
an effective risk management culture and internal control framework
across the enterprise. It accomplishes its risk management mandate
both directly and through its committees, including the Risk Committee
of the Board and the Audit Committee. On an annual basis, the Board
reviews and approves TD’s risk appetite statement and related metrics
to ensure ongoing relevance and alignment with TD’s strategy.
The Risk Committee
The Risk Committee is responsible for reviewing and challenging TD’s
Risk Appetite Statement prior to recommending for approval by the
Board annually. The Committee oversees the management of TD’s risk
profile and performance against its risk appetite. In support of this
oversight, the Committee reviews, challenges, and approves enterprise
risk management policies that support compliance with TD’s risk appe-
tite, and monitors the management of risks and risk trends.
The Audit Committee
The Audit Committee, in addition to overseeing financial reporting,
assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls, including
controls over relevant enterprise risk management processes and the
activities of the Bank’s Global Anti-Money Laundering and
Compliance groups.
CEO and SET
The CEO and the SET develop TD’s long-term strategic direction and
also develop and recommend for Board approval TD’s risk appetite.
The SET manage enterprise 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.
65
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis Executive Committees
The CEO, in consultation with the CRO, designates TD’s Executive
Committees, which are chaired by the SET members. The Committees
meet regularly to oversee governance, risk, and control activities and to
review and monitor risk strategies and related risk activities and practices.
The Enterprise Risk Management Committee (ERMC), chaired by the
CEO, oversees the management of major enterprise governance, risk
and control activities at TD and promotes an integrated and effective
risk culture. Additional Executive Committees have been established to
manage specific major risks based on the nature of the risk and related
business activity:
• Asset/Liability and Capital Committee (ALCO) – chaired by the
Group Head, Corporate Development, Enterprise Strategy, and
Treasury, oversees directly and through its standing subcommittees
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
procedures 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, headed by the CRO, provides inde-
pendent oversight of enterprise risk management, risk governance
and control, and is responsible for establishing risk management
strategy, policies and practices. Risk Management’s primary objective
is to support a comprehensive and proactive approach to risk
management 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 identification and assessment
of emerging risks and there are clear procedures 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 has an embedded risk management function that
reports directly to a senior risk executive who in turn reports to the CRO.
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 recommending
the business-level risk appetite and metrics, which are reviewed and
challenged as necessary 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.
AML
The Global AML group establishes a risk-based program and standards
to proactively manage known and emerging AML compliance risk
across TD. The AML group provides independent oversight and delivers
operational control processes to comply with the applicable legislation
and regulatory requirements.
Treasury and Balance Sheet Management
The Treasury and Balance Sheet Management (TBSM) group manages,
directs and reports on TD’s capital and investment positions, interest
rate risk, and liquidity and funding risk and the market risks of TD’s
non-trading bank activities. The Risk Management function oversees
TBSM’s capital and investment activities.
Three Lines of Defence
In order to further the understanding of responsibilities for risk manage-
ment, TD employs a “three lines of defence” model that describes the role
of the businesses, governance, risk and control groups, and Internal Audit
in managing risk across TD. The chart below describes the respective
accountabilities of each line of defence at TD.
THREE LINES OF DEFENCE
First Line
Identify and Control
Business & Corporate Line Accountabilities
• Manages and identifies risk in day-to-day activities
• Ensures activities are within TD’s risk appetite and risk management policies
• Designs, implements and maintains effective internal controls
• Implements risk based approval processes for all new products, activities, processes and systems
• Monitors and reports on risk profile
Second line
Governance, Risk & Control Group Accountabilities
Set Standards and Challenge
• Establishes enterprise governance, risk and control strategies and practices
• Provides oversight and independent challenge to the first line through review, inquiry and discussion
• Develops and communicates governance, risk and control policies
• Provides training, tools and advice to support policy and compliance
• Monitors and reports on compliance with risk appetite and policies
Third line
Internal Audit Accountabilities
Independent Assurance
• Verifies independently that TD’s ERF is operating effectively
• Validates the effectiveness of the first and second lines of defence in fulfilling their mandates
and managing risk
66
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis In support of a strong risk culture, TD applies the following principles
to how it manages risks:
• 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 business management and all
employees, individually and collectively.
• Independent Oversight – Risk policies, monitoring, and reporting
will be established independently and objectively.
• Integrated Risk and Control Culture – Risk management
disciplines 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 and grow
shareholder value.
APPROACH TO RISk mANAgEmENT PROCESSES
TD’s approach to the risk management process is comprised of four
basic components: identification and assessment, measurement,
control, and monitoring and reporting.
Risk Identification and Assessment
Risk identification and assessment is focused on recognizing and
understanding existing risks, risks that may arise from new or evolving
business initiatives and emerging risks from the changing environment.
TD’s objective is to establish and maintain its integrated risk identifica-
tion and assessment processes that enhance the understanding of
risk interdependencies, consideration of how risk types intersect, and
support the identification of emerging risk.
Risk Measurement
The ability to quantify risks is a key component of TD’s risk management
process. TD’s risk measurement process aligns with regulatory require-
ments such as capital adequacy, leverage ratios, liquidity measures,
stress testing and maximum credit exposure guidelines established by
its regulators. Additionally, TD has a process in place to quantify risks
to provide accurate and timely measurements of the risks it assumes.
In quantifying risk, TD uses various risk measurement methodologies,
including Value-at-Risk (VaR) analysis, scenario analysis, stress testing,
and limits. Other examples of risk measurements include credit expo-
sures, provision for credit losses, peer comparisons, trending analysis,
liquidity coverage, and capital adequacy metrics. TD also requires
significant business segments and corporate oversight functions to
assess their own key risks and internal controls annually through a
structured Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) program. Internal
and external risk events are monitored to assess whether TD’s internal
controls are effective. This allows TD to identify, escalate, and monitor
significant risk issues as needed.
Risk Control
TD’s risk control processes are established and communicated through
Risk Committee and Management approved policies, and associated
management approved procedures, control limits and delegated
authorities which reflect TD’s risk appetite and risk tolerances.
TD’s approach to risk control also includes risk and capital assessments
to appropriately capture key risks in TD’s measurement and management
of capital adequacy. This involves the review, challenge, and endorse-
ment by senior management committees of the Internal Capital
Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and related economic capital
practices. At TD, performance is measured based on the allocation of
risk-based capital to businesses and the cost charged against that capital.
Risk Monitoring and Reporting
TD monitors and reports on risk levels on a regular basis against TD’s
risk appetite and reports on risk monitoring activities to senior manage-
ment, the Board and its Committees, and appropriate executive and
management committees. The ERMC, the Risk Committee, and the
Board also receive annual and periodic reporting on enterprise wide
stress testing and an annual update on TD’s ICAAP. Complementing
regular risk monitoring and reporting, ad hoc risk reporting is provided
to senior management, the Risk Committee, and the Board as appro-
priate for new and emerging risk or any significant changes to the
Bank’s risk profile.
Enterprise Stress Testing
Enterprise-wide stress testing at TD is part of the long-term strategic,
financial, and capital planning exercise that helps understand and vali-
date the risk appetite. TD’s Enterprise-wide stress testing program
involves the development, application, and assessment of severe but
plausible stress scenarios on earnings, capital, and liquidity. It enables
management 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, TBSM, 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.
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
appetite. Each SET member is also accountable to the CEO for moni-
toring, 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 strate-
gies and ensures that mitigating actions are taken where appropriate.
The CEO reports to the Board on the implementation of TD’s strate-
gies, 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 posi-
tion, 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. Additionally, each material acquisition is
assessed for its fit with our strategy and risk appetite in accordance
with our Due Diligence Policy. This assessment is reviewed by the SET
and Board as part of the decision process.

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
business, 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.
Each business segment’s credit risk control unit is primarily responsible
for credit decisions and must comply with established policies, exposure
guidelines and credit approval limits, and policy/limit exception proce-
dures. 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 oversees the management of credit risk and
annually approves major credit risk policies.
HOW WE mANAgE CREDIT RISk
The Bank’s Credit Risk Management Framework outlines the internal
risk and control structure to manage credit risk and includes risk appe-
tite, policies, processes as well as limits and governance. The Credit
Risk Management Framework is maintained by Risk Management and
supports alignment with TD’s risk appetite for credit risk.
Risk Management centrally approves all credit risk policies and credit
decisioning strategies, including policy and limit exception manage-
ment guidelines, as well as the discretionary limits of officers through-
out TD for extending lines of credit.
Limits are established to monitor and control country risk, industry
risk, product, geographic and group exposure risks in the portfolios in
accordance with enterprise-wide policies.
In our retail businesses, we use approved scoring techniques and
standards in extending, monitoring and reporting personal credit.
Credit scores and decision strategies are used in the origination and
ongoing management of new and existing retail credit exposures.
Scoring models and decision strategies utilize a combination of
borrower attributes, including employment status, existing loan expo-
sure and performance, size of total bank relationship as well as external
data such as credit bureau scores, to determine the amount of credit we
are prepared to extend retail customers and estimate future credit
performance. Established policies and procedures are in place to govern
the use and ongoing monitoring and assessment of the performance of
scoring models and decision strategies to ensure alignment with
expected performance results. Retail credit exposures approved within
the regional credit centres are subject to ongoing Risk Management
review to assess the effectiveness of credit decisions and risk controls as
well as identify emerging or systemic issues and trends. Material policy
exceptions are tracked and reported to monitor portfolio trends and
identify potential weaknesses in underwriting guidelines and strategies.
Where unfavourable trends are identified, remedial actions are taken to
address those weaknesses.
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
management. The businesses also use risk ratings to determine the
amount of credit exposure we are willing to extend to a particular
borrower. Management processes are used to monitor country, indus-
try, and borrower or counterparty risk ratings, which include daily,
monthly, quarterly and annual review requirements for credit expo-
sures. 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 manage our risk using limits based on an
internal risk rating score that combines our industry risk rating model
and detailed industry analysis and we regularly review industry risk
ratings to ensure that those ratings properly reflect the risk of the
industry. We assign a maximum exposure limit or a concentration limit
which is a percentage of our total wholesale and commercial exposure.
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 limits based on the entity’s borrower risk rating and for certain
portfolios, the risk rating of the industry in which the entity operates.
This exposure is monitored on a regular basis.
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.
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.
• 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.
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:
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.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 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 under-
lying 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. Under the AIRB approach, CMHC-insured mortgages are consid-
ered sovereign risk and therefore classified as Non-Retail.
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 overdraft protection products), and other retail (e.g., personal
loans including secured automobile 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.
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 retail transactions, we direct the requests to underwrit-
ers in regional credit centres who work within clear approval limits.
We assess retail exposures on a pooled basis, with each pool consist-
ing of exposures with similar characteristics. Pools are segmented by
product type and by the PD estimate. We have developed proprietary
statistical models and decision strategies for each retail product portfo-
lio 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:
Description
Low risk
Normal risk
Medium risk
High risk
One-year PD range
> – <=
0.00% – 0.15%
0.15% – 1.10%
1.10% – 4.74%
4.74% –≤ 100%
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

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
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 manage-
ment 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 incurred but not identified 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 calculate the credit equivalent amount,
which is defined by OSFI as the replacement cost plus an amount for
potential future exposure, to estimate the risk and determine regula-
tory capital requirements for derivative exposures. The Treasury Credit
group within Wholesale Banking is responsible for estimating and
managing counterparty credit risk in accordance with credit policies
established by Risk Management.
We use various qualitative and quantitative methods to measure
and manage counterparty credit risk. These include statistical methods
to measure the current and future potential risk, as well as conduct
stress tests to identify and quantify exposure to extreme events. We
establish various limits including gross notional limits to manage
business volumes and concentrations. We regularly assess market
conditions and the valuation of underlying financial instruments.
Counterparty credit risk may increase during periods of receding
market liquidity for certain instruments. Treasury Credit Management
meets regularly with Market and Credit Risk Management and Trading
businesses to discuss how evolving market conditions may impact our
market risk and counterparty 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.
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 within the credit approval process. We measure and manage
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, 2012, after taking into account risk mitigation strate-
gies, TD does not have 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.
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 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 borrower’s or counterparty’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, fixed assets and automobiles. In the
Wholesale Banking business, a large portion of loans is to investment
grade borrowers where no security is pledged. Non-investment grade
borrowers 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.
We also use collateral and master netting agreements to mitigate
derivative counterparty exposure. Security for derivative exposures is
primarily financial and includes cash and negotiable securities issued
by highly rated governments and investment grade issuers. This
approach includes 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.
From time-to-time, we may take guarantees to reduce the risk in
credit exposures. For credit risk exposures subject to AIRB, we only
recognize irrevocable guarantees for Commercial and Wholesale
Banking credit exposures 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.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 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 counterparty-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 outstand-
ing loans, acceptances, non-trading securities, derivatives, and certain
other repo-style transactions. 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.
2 For periods ending on or prior to October 31, 2011, results are reported
in accordance with Canadian GAAP.
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.
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 manage the
credit risk of our exposures relating to asset-backed commercial paper
(ABCP) securitizations that are not externally rated.
Under the IAA, we consider all relevant risk factors in assessing the
credit quality of these exposures, including those published by the
Moody’s, S&P, Fitch and DBRS rating agencies. We also use expected loss
models and policies to quantify and monitor the level of risk, and facilitate
its management. Our IAA process includes our assessment of the extent
by which the enhancement available for loss protection provides coverage
of expected losses. The levels of stressed coverage we require for each
internal risk rating are consistent with the rating agencies’ published
stressed factor requirements for equivalent external ratings by asset class.
All exposures are assigned an internal risk rating based on our
assessment, which must be reviewed at least once per year. Our ratings
reflect our assessment of risk of loss, consisting of the combined prob-
ability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) for each exposure.
The ratings scale we use corresponds to the long term ratings scales
used by the rating agencies.
Our IAA process is subject to all the key elements and principles
of our risk governance structure, and is managed in the same way
as outlined in this Credit Risk section.
We use the results of the IAA in all aspects of our credit risk
management, including performance tracking, control mechanisms
and management reporting, and the calculation of capital. Under
the IAA, exposures are multiplied by OSFI-prescribed risk weights
to calculate RWA for capital purposes.
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, 2012 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.
• 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.
WHO mANAgES mARkET RISk IN TRADINg ACTIVITIES
Primary responsibility for managing market risk in trading activities lies
with Wholesale Banking with oversight from Market Risk Control within
Risk Management. There is a Market Risk and Capital Committee
chaired by the Vice President, Market Risk and Model Development,
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.
71
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
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. The
Trading Market Risk Framework outlines the management of trading
market risk and incorporates risk appetite, risk governance structure,
risk identification, measurement, and control. The Trading Market Risk
Framework is maintained by Risk Management and supports alignment
with TD’s Risk Appetite for trading market 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 Wholesale Banking
level in aggregate, as well as at more granular levels.
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 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.
Calculating VaR
TD computes total VaR on a daily basis by combining the General
Market Risk (GMR) and Idiosyncratic Debt Specific Risk (IDSR) associ-
ated with TD’s trading positions. GMR is determined by creating a
distribution of potential changes in the market value of the current
portfolio using historical simulation. TD values 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.
IDSR measures idiosyncratic (single-name) credit spread risk for
credit exposures in the trading portfolio, using Monte Carlo simulation.
The IDSR model is based on the historical behaviour of 5-year
idiosyncratic credit spreads. Similar to GMR, IDSR is computed as the
threshold level that portfolio losses are not expected to exceed more
than one out of every 100 trading days.
The graph below discloses daily one-day VaR usage and trading-
related revenue (TEB) within Wholesale Banking. Trading-related reve-
nue is comprised of net interest income, trading income, and income
from loans designated at fair value through profit or loss that are
managed within a trading portfolio, and is reported on a taxable
equivalent basis. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, there
were 34 days of trading losses and trading-related income was positive
for 87% of the trading days. Losses in the fiscal year did not exceed
VaR on any trading day.

Calculating Stressed VaR
In addition to VaR, TD also calculates Stressed VaR, which includes
Stressed GMR and Stressed IDSR. Stressed VaR is designed to measure
the adverse impact that potential changes in market rates and prices
could have on the value of a portfolio over a specified period of
stressed market conditions. Stressed VaR is determined using similar
techniques and assumptions in GMR and IDSR VaR. However, instead
of using the most recent 259 trading days (one year), the Bank uses
a selected year of stressed market conditions. In the current period,
Stressed VaR was calculated using the one-year period that began on
February 4, 2008. The appropriate historical one-year period to use for
Stressed VaR is determined on a quarterly basis. Stressed VaR is a part
of regulatory capital requirements.
Calculating the Incremental Risk Charge
The incremental risk charge (IRC) is applied to all instruments in the
trading book subject to migration and default risk. Migration risk
represents the risk of changes in the credit ratings of the Bank’s expo-
sures. TD applies a Monte Carlo simulation with a one-year horizon
and a 99.9% confidence level to determine IRC, which is consistent
with regulatory requirements. IRC is based on a “constant level of risk”
assumption, which requires banks to assign a liquidity horizon to
positions that are subject to IRC. TD considers the issuer’s domicile
and credit rating, as well as industry and single-name concentration
effects, when assessing liquidity horizons. IRC is a part of regulatory
capital requirements.

4 Effective for first quarter of 2012, the Bank implemented proposed changes to
the Basel II market risk framework as required by the Office of the Superintendent
of Financial Institutions Canada. As a result, the Bank began reporting two new
measures, Stressed Value-at-Risk and Incremental Risk Capital Charge.
Average VaR increased by $2 million compared with the prior year. This
was primarily due to an increase in interest rate risk and idiosyncratic
credit spread risk. We started calculating Stressed VaR and IRC in the
first quarter of 2012 so prior year comparables for these two measures
are not available. We observed a decline in both Stressed VaR and IRC
during 2012, mainly due to lower traded credit risk exposures.
Validation of VaR Model
TD uses a back-testing process to compare the actual and theoretical
profit and losses to VaR to ensure that they are consistent with the
statistical results of the VaR model. The theoretical profit or loss is
generated using the daily price movements on the assumption that
there is no change in the composition of the portfolio. Validation of
the IRC model must follow a different approach since the one-year
horizon and 99.9% confidence level preclude standard back-testing
techniques. Instead, key parameters of the IRC model such as transition
and correlation matrices are subject to independent validation by
benchmarking against external study results or via analysis using
internal or external data.
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 threshold. Stress scenarios are designed
to model extreme economic events, replicate worst-case historical
experiences, or introduce severe but plausible hypothetical changes in
key market risk factors. The stress testing program includes scenarios
developed using actual historical market data during periods of market
disruption, in addition to hypothetical scenarios developed by Risk
Management. 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.
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 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 key asset/liability manage-
ment and non-trading 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 segments 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 interest 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 and developing strate-
gies to manage overall sensitivity to rates across varying interest rate
scenarios.
• 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 interest
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 direction
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.
73
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
Interest rate risk exposure, after economic hedging activities, is
The following graph shows our interest rate risk exposure (as
measured using various interest rate “shock” scenarios to estimate the
impact of changes in interest rates on the Bank. Two measures that
are used are Earnings at Risk (EaR) and Economic Value at Risk (EVaR).
EaR is defined as the change in net interest income over the next 12
months for an immediate and sustained 100 bps unfavourable interest
rate shock. EaR measures the extent to which the maturing and repric-
ing asset and liability cash flows are matched over the next 12-month
period and reflects how TD’s net interest income will change over that
period as a result of the interest rate shock. EVaR is defined as the
difference between the change in the present value of our asset port-
folio and the change in the present value of our liability portfolio,
including off-balance sheet instruments, resulting from an immediate
and sustained 100 bps unfavourable interest rate shock. EVaR
measures the relative sensitivity of asset and liability cash flow
mismatches to changes in long term interest rates. Closely matching
asset and liability cash flows reduces EVaR and mitigates the risk of
volatility in future interest income.
To the extent that interest rates are sufficiently low and it is not feasible
to measure the impact of a 100 bps decline in interest rates, EVaR and
EaR exposures will be calculated by measuring the impact of a decline
in interest rates where the resultant rate does not become negative.
The model used to calculate EaR and EVaR captures the impact of
changes to assumed customer behaviours, such as interest rate sensi-
tive mortgage prepayments, but does not assume any balance sheet
growth, change in business mix, product pricing philosophy or
management actions in response to changes in market conditions.
TD’s policy sets overall limits on EVaR and EaR which are linked to
capital and net interest income, respectively. These Board limits are set
consistent with TD’s enterprise risk appetite and are periodically
reviewed and approved by the Risk Committee of the Board. Exposures
against Board limits are routinely monitored and reported, and
breaches of these Board limits (if any) are escalated to both the Asset/
Liability and Capital Committee and the Risk Committee of the Board.
In addition to Board policy limits, book-level risk limits are set for
TBSM’s management of non-trading interest rate risk by Risk
Management. These book-level risk limits are set at a more granular
level than Board policy limits for EaR and EVaR, and developed to be
consistent with the overall Board Market Risk policy. Breaches of these
book-level risk limits (if any) are escalated to the Asset/Liability and
Capital Committee in a timely manner.
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 replicate the payoff on a purchased option.

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, 2012, an
immediate and sustained 100 basis point increase in interest rates
would have decreased the economic value of shareholders’ equity
by $161.8 million (2011 – $110.9 million) after tax. An immediate
and sustained 100 bps decrease in interest rates would have reduced
the economic value of shareholders’ equity by $80.5 million (2011 –
$201.9 million) after tax.

2 As at October 31, 2012, the EVaR sensitivity has been measured using a 25 bps
rate decline for U.S. interest rates, corresponding to an interest rate environment
that is floored at zero percent.
For the EaR measure (not shown on the graph), a 100 basis point
increase in interest rates on October 31, 2012 would have increased
pre-tax net interest income by $225.1 million (2011 – $40.4 million
decrease) in the next 12 months. A 100 basis point decrease in interest
rates on October 31, 2012 would have decreased pre-tax net interest
income by $187.9 million (2011 – $29.6 million increase) in the next
12 months. Over the last year, the reported EaR exposures have grown
due to an increasing portion of permanent non-rate sensitive deposits
being invested in a shorter term maturity profile. This is consistent
with net interest income management strategies overseen by ALCO.
Reported EaR remains consistent with the Bank’s risk appetite and
within established board limits.

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
denominated 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 interest 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
from the Bank’s net investments in foreign operations is hedged to the
point where capital ratios change by no more than an acceptable
amount for a given change in foreign exchange rates.
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 management
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 antici-
pated loan demand, funding opportunities and the overall interest rate
sensitivity of the Bank. The Risk Committee reviews and approves the
Enterprise Investment Policy that sets out limits for TD’s own portfolio.
WHy mARgINS ON AVERAgE EARNINg ASSETS
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 interest-
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 earning
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
exposures, 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.
The model also includes the impact of projected product volume
growth, new margin and product mix assumptions.
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
obligations as they come due, and to sustain and grow our assets and
operations under 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 alter our
business strategy. The process that ensures adequate access to funding
and reserve liquidity is known as liquidity risk management.
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 stress scenario, and a 365-day survival horizon under a prolonged
bank-specific stress scenario that impacts our ability to access unsecured
wholesale funding markets. These targeted survival horizons 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
management structure to properly measure and manage liquidity risk.
In addition, the Global Liquidity Forum (GLF), comprising senior
management from TBSM, Risk Management, Finance, and Wholesale
Banking, identifies and monitors our liquidity risks. When necessary,
the GLF recommends actions to the ALCO to maintain our liquidity
positions within limits under normal and stress conditions.
75
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
We have one Global Liquidity & Asset Pledging Policy, but the
treasury areas responsible for major business segments measure and
manage liquidity risks as follows:
• TBSM is responsible for maintaining TD’s liquidity risk management
framework and associated policy limits, standards and processes.
TBSM is also responsible for consolidating and reporting TD’s global
liquidity position and for managing the combined Canadian Personal
and Commercial Banking (including the domestic Wealth business)
and Corporate segment liquidity positions.
• Wholesale Banking Treasury, within Risk Management, working
closely with Wholesale Banking is responsible for managing the
liquidity risks inherent in each of the Wholesale Banking portfolios
and its regulated consolidated subsidiaries.
• U.S. TBSM 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 treasury area must comply with the Global Liquidity and Asset
Pledging Policy. The policy is reviewed annually by the Risk
Committee which is responsible for approving the Bank’s liquidity
risk appetite and associated liquidity management limits, principles
and processes. Management responsible for liquidity in our U.S.
Personal and Commercial Banking segment and each of our regu-
lated overseas branches and/or subsidiaries is also required to imple-
ment the policies and related liquidity risk management programs
that are necessary in order to address local business conditions and/
or regulatory requirements. All policies are subject to review by the
Global Liquidity Forum and approval by ALCO.
• Treasury areas frequently monitor and report liquidity adequacy in
accordance with Risk Committee approved limits. In addition, ALCO
imposes, at its discretion, more stringent or additional management
limits to further control liquidity risk management or asset pledging
activities. All breaches must be reported within 24 hours of identifi-
cation in accordance with policy requirements. The status of remedi-
ation plans to address policy breaches are reported to the GLF and
ALCO on a weekly basis and, if applicable, to the Risk Committee
at its next scheduled meetings, until resolved.
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 crisis that has been triggered in the
markets specifically with respect to a lack of confidence in our ability to
meet obligations as they come due. We assume complete loss of access
to all forms of external funding during the 90-day survival period.
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 institutions, a significant
increase in our cost of funds and a significant decrease in the
marketability of assets. This scenario ensures that we have sufficient
“available liquidity” to cover total “required liquidity” for the following:
• 100% of all maturities from unsecured wholesale debt and debt
issued in various securitization channels coming due;
• Accelerated attrition or “run-off” of personal and commercial
deposit balances;
• Increased utilization or “draw down” of available committed lines
of credit to personal, commercial and corporate lending customers;
• Increased collateral requirements associated with downgrades
in TD’s senior long-term debt credit rating and adverse movement
in reference rates for all derivative contracts;
• Coverage of maturities related to Bank-sponsored funding
programs, such as the Bankers’ Acceptances we issue on behalf
of clients and Bank-sponsored short-term revolving ABCP channels;
• Current forecasted operational requirements.
To meet the resulting total “required liquidity”, we hold assets that
can be readily converted into cash. The fair market value of securities
will fluctuate based on changes in prevailing interest rates, credit
spreads and/or market demand. The liquid assets we hold as “available
liquidity” must be currently marketable, of sufficient credit quality and
available-for-sale and/or pledging 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, local
regulatory liquidity transfer restrictions or other identified impediments
are not considered within the framework. We apply a downward
adjustment to current market value reflective of the expected market
conditions in the “Severe Combined Stress” scenario as appropriate.
Overall, we expect the reduction in current market value to be rela-
tively low given the underlying high credit quality and demonstrated
liquidity of our liquid asset portfolio summarized in the following table:

“Available liquidity” also includes our estimated borrowing capacity
through the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system in the U.S. under

TD also has access to the Bank of Canada emergency lending assis-
tance program in Canada, Federal Reserve Bank discount window in
the U.S. and European Central Bank standby liquidity facilities as a
result of collateral pledged by TD to these central banks. TD does not
consider borrowing capacity at central banks as a source of available
liquidity when assessing surplus liquidity.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
Our surplus liquid-asset position for each major business segment is
calculated by deducting “required liquidity” from “available liquidity”
for each specified time bucket. We do not consolidate the surplus
liquid-asset positions of our U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
segment with the positions of other segments due to restrictions on
the investment of funds generated from deposit taking activities by
member financial institutions of the Federal Reserve system in the U.S.
Also, available cash held in certain Wealth Management and Insurance
subsidiaries are not included in the liquid-asset position of the
Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segment due to regula-
tory restrictions involving the investment of such funds with the
Toronto-Dominion Bank (Parent). For the year ended October 31,
2012, our average monthly aggregate surplus liquid-asset position
for up to 90 days, as measured under the “Severe Combined Stress”
scenario was as follows:
• $11.3 billion (2011 – $6.1 billion) for Canadian Personal and
Commercial Banking (including the domestic Wealth business),
Corporate, and Wholesale Banking operations.
• $9.6 billion (2011 – $8.9 billion) for U.S. Personal and Commercial
Banking operations.
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 the 365-day bank
specific stress scenario, 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.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the average monthly estimate
of liquid assets less requirements, as determined in the extended
liquidity coverage test was as follows:
• $2.5 billion (2011 – $16.5 billion) for Canadian Personal and
Commercial Banking (including the domestic Wealth business),
Corporate and Wholesale Banking operations.
• $12.9 billion (2011 – $12.3 billion) for U.S. Personal and Commercial
Banking operations.
While each of our dedicated treasury areas has responsibility for the
measurement and management of liquidity risks in their respective
business segments, TBSM is responsible for managing liquidity on
an enterprise-wide basis in order to maintain consistent and efficient
management of liquidity risk across all of our operations. TD maintains
foreign branches in key global centres such as New York and London
to support Wholesale Banking activities. The Parent company routinely
provides a guarantee of liquidity support to all of its foreign branches
and consolidated subsidiaries.
The ongoing measurement of business segment liquidity in accordance
with various stressed limits ensures there will be sufficient available fund-
ing sources in the event of a liquidity event. Additional stress scenarios
related to severe idiosyncratic and systemic events caused by particular
economic, financial and or operational risk conditions are also used to
evaluate the potential range of required liquidity levels. We have contin-
gency funding plans (CFP) in place for each major business segment and
local jurisdiction. Each CFP provides direction on how management can
best utilize available sources of funding under each identified liquidity
stress event in the most efficient and effective manner possible, with
the objective of returning resultant liquidity positions to target liquidity
levels. Accordingly, CFP documentation is an integral component of the
Bank’s overall liquidity risk management program.
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. Credit ratings and outlooks provided by 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.

tional collateral required by trading counterparties in the event of
a one-notch reduction in our senior long-term credit ratings. Severe

FUNDINg
TD routinely has access to a wide variety of short and long-term
unsecured and secured funding sources including securitization channels
that it uses to meet operational requirements in normal operating
conditions. TD’s funding activities are conducted in accordance with
the Global Liquidity & Asset Pledging Policy. This Policy requires that,
among other things, all assets be funded to the appropriate term
(i.e., contractual term to maturity for banking book assets or stressed
market depths for trading assets).
A key approach to managing funding activities is to maximize the
use of branch sourced deposits. Table 58 illustrates the Bank’s large
base of stable personal and commercial, domestic Wealth business and
TD Ameritrade sweep deposits (P&C Deposits) that make up more than
70% of total deposit funding. Approximately 69% of this amount is
insured under various insurance deposit schemes, including the Canada
Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. The amount of long-term funding provided by demand
or non-maturity personal and commercial deposits is determined based
on demonstrated balance permanence and estimated sudden “run-off”
under the “Severe Combined Stress” scenario.

The majority of remaining deposit funding is comprised of short-term
unsecured wholesale funding with maturity terms ranging between
overnight and 12 months, and long-term wholesale funding with
maturities typically ranging between two to five years. We maintain
an active external funding program to provide access to widely
diversified funding sources, including asset securitization, covered
bonds and unsecured wholesale debt. Our unsecured wholesale
funding is diversified geographically, by currency and by distribution
network. We maintain limits on the amounts of short-term wholesale
deposits we can hold from any single depositor in order not to rely
excessively on one or a small group of clients as a source of funding.
When deposit levels exceed these limits, excess amounts must be
invested in highly liquid assets and, as a result, are not used to fund
our Wholesale Banking requirements. We also limit the short-term
wholesale funding that can mature in a given time period. These fund-
ing limits are designed to address the potential operational complexity
in selling assets and reduced asset liquidity in a systemic market event,
and serve to limit our exposure to large liability maturities.
Responsibility for normal funding activities is as follows:
• TBSM is responsible for meeting all TD long-term funding needs
related to mortgage or loan asset growth, corporate investment
needs or subsidiary capital requirements.
• Wholesale Bank funding is responsible for meeting short-term
funding and liquidity requirements identified by Wholesale Bank
Treasury. Funding can be achieved via unsecured wholesale deposit
funding including commercial paper or secured repurchase (“repo”)
funding channels.
• U.S. Treasury Group is responsible for managing required utilization
of available borrowing capacity provided by the FHLB system.
• ALCO is required to approve any new external funding structures
or material transactions in conjunction with its regular review of the
TD long-term funding action plan.
We continue to explore all opportunities to access expanded or lower-
cost funding on a sustainable basis relative to our projected term fund-
ing requirements. The following table represents the various sources of

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 maxi-
mum 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 commitments are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total of the contrac-
tual 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 or contingent liabilities, including repurchase agreements,
securitization liabilities and securities borrowing transactions. Assets are
also deposited for the purposes of participation in clearing and payment
systems (Large Value Transfer System in Canada) and depositories
(Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or the Depository Trust & Clearing
Corporation) or to have access to the facilities of central banks in
domestic and foreign jurisdictions, such as the Bank of Canada, Federal
Reserve Bank, European Central Bank, and the Bank of England, or as
security for contract settlements with derivative exchanges or other
derivative counterparties (e.g., London Clearing House). As at October 31,
2012, securities and other assets with a carrying value of $142.2 billion
(2011 – $118.1 billion) were pledged as collateral in respect of these
transactions. As previously noted, assets that are encumbered as a result
of pledging activities are not considered as ”available liquidity” in
determining TD’s liquid-asset surplus positions.
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.
The Bank’s own securities lent as of October 31, 2012 amounted to
$13.0 billion (2011 – $11.4 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 of October 31, 2012, the fair value of financial assets
accepted as collateral that the Bank is permitted to sell or repledge in
the absence of default was $18 billion (2011 – $20.5 billion). The fair
value of financial assets accepted as collateral that has been sold or
repledged (excluding cash collateral) was $6.4 billion as of October 31,
2012 (2011 – $6.7 billion).
As at October 31, 2012, $10.5 billion (2011 – $7.4 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 SPE which is consolidated by the Bank. A discussion on the
structure of this SPE and assets held is included in Note 9 to the Bank’s
Consolidated Financial Statements.
REgULATORy DEVELOPmENTS CONCERNINg LIQUIDITy
In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
(BCBS) issued a final framework document outlining two new liquidity
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 minimum
regulatory standards effective January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2018
respectively. Regulators and banks continue to work together conduct-
ing 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 contin-
ues 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 process-
ing and documentation errors, fiduciary and information breaches,
technology 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 mitigate and manage operational risk so that
we can create and sustain shareholder value, successfully execute our
business strategies, operate efficiently and provide reliable, secure and
convenient access to financial services. We maintain a formal enter-
prise-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 TD’s 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 program groups who oversee specific enterprise
wide operational risk policies that require dedicated mitigation and
control activities. These policies govern the activities of the Corporate
functions responsible for the management and appropriate oversight
over business continuity, outsourcing management, financial crime
risk management, 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
segment 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 inherent
in the area. The senior executives in each business unit participate
in a Risk Management Committee that oversees operational risk
management issues and initiatives.
79
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis
Ultimately, every employee has a role to play in managing opera-
tional risk. In addition to policies and procedures guiding employee
activities, training is available to all staff regarding specific types of
operational risks and their role in helping to protect the interests
and assets of TD.
HOW WE mANAgE OPERATIONAL RISk
The Operational Risk Management Framework outlines the internal risk
and control structure to manage operational risk and includes risk appe-
tite, policies, processes as well as limits and governance. The Operational
Risk Management Framework is maintained by Risk Management
and supports alignment with TD’s risk appetite for operational risk.
The framework incorporates leading industry practices and meets
regulatory requirements. 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 addition, the
expectations of the Risk Committee of the Board and senior manage-
ment 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 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 risk manage-
ment and internal controls are effective, appropriate and compliant
with our policies.
Operational Risk Event Monitoring
In order to reduce our exposure to future loss, it is critical that we
remain aware of and respond to our own and industry operational
risks. Our policies and processes require that operational risk events
be identified, tracked and reported to the appropriate level of manage-
ment to ensure that we analyze and manage such risks 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
monitors risk-related measures and the status of risk throughout TD
to report 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 are 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 opportunities
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 maintain and regularly test business continuity
plans designed to respond to a broad range of potential scenarios.
Supplier Management
A third party is an entity whose business is to supply a particular
service or commodity. The benefits of leveraging third parties include
access to leading technology, specialized expertise, economies of scale
and operational efficiencies. While these relationships bring benefits to
our businesses and customers, we also need to manage and minimize
any risks related to the activity. We do this through an enterprise-level
third-party risk management program that guides third-party activities
and ensures the level of risk management and senior management
oversight is appropriate to the size, risk and importance of the third-
party 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 and 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 financial loss due to actual experience
emerging differently from expectations in insurance product pricing
or reserving. Unfavourable experience could emerge due to adverse
fluctuations in timing, actual size and/or frequency of claims
(e.g. catastrophic risk), mortality, morbidity, longevity, policyholder
behaviour, or associated expenses.
Insurance contracts provide financial protection by transferring
insured risks to the issuer in exchange for premiums. We are exposed
to insurance risk in our property and casualty insurance business, life
and health insurance business and reinsurance business.
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 directors,
as well as independent appointed actuaries who provide additional risk
management oversight.
HOW WE mANAgE INSURANCE RISk
The Bank’s risk governance practices ensure strong independent
oversight and control of risk within the insurance business. The Risk
Committee for the Insurance business provides critical oversight of
the risk management activities within the business. The Insurance
Risk Management Framework outlines the internal risk and control
structure to manage insurance risk and includes risk appetite, policies,
processes as well as limits and governance. The Insurance Risk
Management Framework is maintained by Risk Management and
supports alignment with TD’s risk appetite for insurance risk.
80
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis The assessment of reserves for claim liabilities is central to the insur-
ance operation. TD engages in establishing reserves to cover estimated
future payments (including loss adjustment expenses) on all claims
arising from insurance contracts underwritten. The reserves cannot be
established with complete certainty, and represent management’s best
estimate for future claim payments. As such, TD regularly monitors
liability estimates against claims experience and adjusts reserves as
appropriate if experience emerges differently than anticipated.
Sound product design is an essential element of managing risk.
TD’s exposure to insurance risk is generally short term in nature
as the principal underwriting risk relates to automobile and home
insurance for individuals.
Insurance market cycles as well as changes in automobile insurance
legislation, the judicial environment, trends in court awards, climate
patterns and the economic environment may impact the performance
of the insurance business. Consistent pricing policies and underwriting
standards are maintained and compliance with such policies is moni-
tored by the Risk Committee for the Insurance business.
Automobile insurance is provincially legislated and as such, policy-
holder benefits may differ between provinces. There is also exposure
to geographic concentration risk associated with personal property
coverage. Exposure to insurance risk concentrations is managed
through established underwriting guidelines, limits, and authorization
levels that govern the acceptance of risk. Concentration risk is also
mitigated through the purchase of reinsurance.
Strategies are in place to manage the risk to our reinsurance business.
Underwriting risk on business assumed is managed through a policy
that limits exposure to certain types of business and countries. The vast
majority of treaties are annually renewable, which minimizes long term
risk. Pandemic exposure is reviewed and estimated annually.
Regulatory and Legal Risk
Regulatory and Legal risk is the risk of negative impact to business
activities, earnings or capital, regulatory relationships or reputation
as a result of failure to comply with or a failure to adapt to current
and changing regulations, laws, industry codes, rules or regulatory
expectations. Legal risk includes the potential for civil litigation or
criminal or regulatory proceedings being commenced against TD that,
once decided, could materially and adversely affect our business,
operations or financial condition.
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, and other
costs associated with legal proceedings, and unfavourable judicial
or regulatory judgments may also adversely affect TD’s business,
results of operations and financial condition.
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 segments and corporate areas are responsible for managing
day-to-day regulatory and legal risk, while the Legal, Compliance,
Global Anti-Money Laundering and Regulatory Risk (including
Regulatory Relationships and Government Affairs) groups assist
them by providing advice and oversight.
The Corporate Compliance, Global Anti-Money Laundering and
Regulatory Risk groups identify and monitor significant regulatory risk
across our organization, and are responsible for ensuring that key
day-to-day business controls comply with applicable legislation.
In addition, our Regulatory Risk groups also create and maintain
relationships with regulators and government officials, monitor legisla-
tion and regulations, support business relationships with governments,
coordinate regulatory examinations, facilitate regulatory approvals of
new products, and advance the public policy objectives of TD.
Internal and external Legal counsel also work closely with the
business segments and corporate functions to identify areas of
potential regulatory 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. The Code is supported by a number
of other policies, training programs and tools, and new employee or
director orientation materials, covering a variety of relevant topics,
such as anti-money laundering, privacy and anti-corruption practices.
All directors, officers and employees are required to attest annually that
they understand the Code and have complied with its provisions.
Business segments and corporate areas manage day-to-day regula-
tory and legal risk primarily by implementing appropriate policies,
procedures and controls. The Legal, Compliance, and Global Anti-
Money Laundering groups collectively 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.
• Assessing regulatory and legislative requirements and compliance-
related risks using an independent risk-based approach.
• 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.
Our policies and processes also provide for the timely escalation of poten-
tial or actual legal or regulatory issues to enable senior management
and the Board of Directors to effectively perform their management
and oversight responsibilities.
While it is not possible to completely eliminate legal risk, the Legal
Department also works closely with business segments 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
which involves or impacts TD or its subsidiaries.
Capital Adequacy Risk
Capital adequacy risk is the risk of insufficient capital available in rela-
tion to the amount of capital required to carry out the Bank’s strategy
and satisfy regulatory capital requirements.
Capital is held to protect the viability of the Bank in the event
of unexpected financial losses. Capital represents the loss-absorbing
funding required to provide a cushion to protect depositors and other
creditors from unexpected losses.
Regulators prescribe minimum levels of capital that are referred to
as limits. Managing the capital levels of a financial institution exposes
our Bank to the risk of breaching regulatory capital limits.
WHO mANAgES CAPITAL ADEQUACy RISk
The Board of Directors have the ultimate responsibility for overseeing
adequacy of capital and capital management. The Board reviews the
adherence to capital limits and targets; reviews and approves the
annual capital plan and the Capital Management Policy. The Risk
Committee of the Board oversees management’s actions to maintain
an appropriate Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)
framework, commensurate with the Bank’s risk profile. The Chief Risk
Officer ensures the Bank’s ICAAP is effective in meeting capital
adequacy requirements.
The Asset, Liability and Capital Committee establishes and maintains
the capital management framework for effective and prudent manage-
ment of the Bank’s capital position and supports maintenance of
adequate capital. It oversees the allocation of capital limits for business
segments and reviews adherence to capital limits and targets.
81
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis In addition, 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 applica-
ble 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 enterprise Reputational Risk Committee.
We also have an enterprise-wide New Business and Product Approval
Policy with defined and documented processes to approve new products
and new business, particularly structured transactions in our Wholesale
business. These processes involve committees with representation from
the businesses and control functions, and include consideration of all
aspects of a new product, including reputational risk.
Environmental Risk
Environmental risk is the possibility of loss of strategic, financial,
operational 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 segments and
corporate functions. The ESC is responsible for approving environmen-
tal strategy and performance standards, and communicating these
throughout the business. TD’s business segments are responsible for
implementing the environmental strategy and managing associated
risks within their units.
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. Our EMS is consistent with
the ISO 14001 international standard, which represents industry best
practice. Our Environmental Policy reflects the global scope of TD’s
environmental activities.
Capital Management, within Treasury and Balance Sheet Management,
is responsible for forecasting and monitoring compliance with capital
limits and targets, on a consolidated basis. Capital Management
updates the capital forecast and makes recommendations to the ALCO
regarding capital issuance, repurchase and redemption. Risk Capital
Assessment, within Risk Management, leads the Enterprise-Wide
Stress Testing (EWST) process. Business segments are responsible for
managing to allocated capital limits.
HOW WE mANAgE CAPITAL ADEQUACy RISk
Capital resources are managed to ensure the Bank’s capital position
can support business strategies under both current and future business
operating environments. The Bank manages its operations within the
capital constraints defined by both internal and regulatory capital
requirements, ensuring that it meets the higher of these requirements.
Regulatory capital requirements represent minimum capital levels.
The ALCO determines capital targets, in excess of capital limits. The
purpose of capital targets is to reduce the risk of a breach of capital
limits, due to a combination of normal capital volatility and an unex-
pected stress event, allowing management the opportunity to react to
declining capital levels before capital limits are breached. Capital limits
and targets are defined in the Capital Management Policy.
The Bank also determines its internal capital requirements through
the ICAAP process, based on its own tolerance for the risk of unex-
pected losses. The ICAAP process uses models to measure the risk-
based capital required for its identified risk of loss. This risk tolerance
is calibrated to the required confidence level so that the Bank will be
able to meet its obligations, even after absorbing worst case unex-
pected losses over a one year period, associated with management’s
target debt rating.
In addition, the Bank has a Capital Contingency Plan that is designed
to prepare management to ensure capital adequacy through periods of
Bank specific or systemic market stress. The Capital Contingency Plan
determines the governance and procedures to be followed if the Bank’s
consolidated capital levels are forecast to fall below capital targets or
limits. It outlines potential management actions that may be taken to
prevent such a breach from occurring.
A comprehensive periodic monitoring process is undertaken to plan
and forecast capital requirements. As part of the annual planning
process, business segments are allocated individual capital limits.
Capital usage is monitored and reported to the ALCO.
The Bank assesses the sensitivity of its forecast capital requirements
and new capital formations to various economic conditions through its
EWST process. The impacts of the EWST are applied to the capital fore-
cast and are considered in the determination of capital targets.
Reputational Risk
Reputational risk is the potential that 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 enterprise 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.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis 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 2012
and we made a voluntary commitment to reduce our carbon emissions
by 1 tonne/employee by 2015. In 2012, TD made a voluntary commit-

(relative to a 2010 baseline).
During 2012, TD applied our Environmental and Social Credit Risk
Management Procedures to credit and lending in the wholesale,
commercial and retail businesses. These procedures include assessment
of our clients’ policies, procedures and performance on material envi-
ronmental and related social issues, such as climate risk, biodiversity,
water risk, stakeholder engagement and free, prior and informed
consent of Aboriginal peoples. Within Wholesale Banking, sector-
specific guidelines have been developed for environmentally-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 (UNPRI). Under the UNPRI,
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 UNPRI.
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.

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 TD’s CEO, Head of Direct Investing 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 directors 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.
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 informa-
tion flow. In addition to regular communication at the Chief Executive
Officer level, regular 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. Risk issues are reported
up to TD’s Risk Committee as required.
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 signifi-
cant 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 methodol-
ogies are well controlled and occur in an appropriate 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 impairments of financial assets, the determination of
fair value of financial instruments, accounting for derecognition, the
valuation of goodwill and other intangibles, accounting for employee
benefits, accounting for income taxes, accounting for provisions, account-
ing for insurance, and the consolidation of special purpose entities.
ACCOUNTINg POLICIES AND ESTImATES
The Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
accordance with IFRS. For details of the Bank’s accounting policies under
IFRS, see Note 2 to the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis ImPAIRmENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Available-for-Sale Securities
Impairment losses are recognized on available-for-sale securities if, and
only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or
more events that have occurred (a ‘loss event’) and the loss event(s)
results in a decrease in the estimated cash flows of the instrument.
The Bank reviews these securities at least quarterly for the presence
of these conditions. This includes determining, as a matter of judgment,
whether a loss event has resulted in a decline in fair value below cost
that is significant or prolonged for available-for-sale equity securities,
and a deterioration of credit quality for available-for-sale debt securi-
ties. Other factors considered in the impairment assessment include
financial position and key financial indicators of the issuer of the
instrument, significant past and continued losses of the issuer, as well
as breaches of contract, including default or delinquency in interest
payments and loan covenant violations.
Loans
A loan (including a debt security classified as a loan) is considered
impaired when there is objective evidence that there has been a deteri-
oration of credit quality subsequent to the initial recognition of the
loan (‘a loss event’) to the extent the Bank no longer has reasonable
assurance as to the timely collection of the full amount of principal
and interest. The Bank assesses loans for objective evidence of impair-
ment individually for loans that are individually significant, and collec-
tively for loans that are not individually significant. Allowance for credit
losses represent management’s best estimate of impairment incurred
in the lending portfolios, including any off-balance sheet exposures, at
the balance sheet date. Judgment is required as to the timing of desig-
nating a loan as impaired and the amount of the allowance required.
Management exercises judgment as to the amount that will be recov-
ered once the borrower defaults. Changes in the amount management
expects to recover would have a direct impact on the provision for credit
losses and may result in a change in the allowance for credit losses.
If there is no objective evidence of impairment for an individual
loan, whether significant or not, the loan is included in a group of
assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed
for impairment for losses incurred but not identified. In calculating the
probable range of allowance for incurred but not identified credit
losses, the Bank employs internally developed models that utilize
parameters for probability of default, loss given default and exposure
at default. 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 expe-
rience, loan portfolio composition, and other relevant indicators that
are not fully incorporated into the model calculation. Changes in these
assumptions would have a direct impact on the provision for incurred
but not identified credit losses and may result in a change in the
related allowance for credit losses.
DETERmINATION OF FAIR VALUE
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets at the
balance sheet date is based on their quoted market prices. For all other
financial instruments not traded in an active market, 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. Observable market inputs may include interest rate yield curves,
foreign exchange rates, and option volatilities. Valuation techniques
include comparisons with similar instruments where observable market
prices exist, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, and
other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.
For certain complex or illiquid financial instruments, fair value is
determined using valuation techniques in which current market trans-
actions or observable market inputs are not available. Determining
which valuation technique to apply requires judgment. The valuation
techniques themselves also involve some level of estimation and judg-
ment. The judgments include liquidity considerations and model inputs
such as volatilities, correlation, spreads, discount rates, pre-payment
rates, and prices of underlying instruments. Any imprecision in these
estimates can affect the resulting fair value.
84
The inherent nature of private equity investing is that the Bank’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 significant depending on the
nature of the factors going into the valuation methodology and the
extent of change in those factors.
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. If the market for a complex
financial instrument develops, the pricing for this instrument may
become more transparent, resulting in refinement of valuation models.
An analysis of fair values of financial instruments and further details
as to how they are measured are provided in Note 5 to the 2012
Consolidated Financial Statements.
DERECOgNITION
Certain assets transferred as part of securitization transactions may
qualify for derecognition from the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
To qualify for derecognition certain key determinations must be made.
A decision must be made as to whether the rights to receive cash flows
from the financial assets has been retained or transferred and the
extent to which the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial
asset has been retained or transferred. If the Bank neither transfers
nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of
the financial asset, a decision must be made as to whether the Bank
has retained control of the financial asset. Upon derecognition, the
Bank will record a gain or loss on sale of those assets which is calcu-
lated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset
transferred and the sum of any cash proceeds received, including any
financial asset received or financial liability assumed, and any cumula-
tive gain or loss allocated to the transferred asset that had been recog-
nized in other comprehensive income. In determining the fair value of
any financial asset received, the Bank 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 matu-
rity, 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 the Bank.
Retained interests are classified as trading securities and are initially
recognized at relative fair value on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance
Sheet. Subsequently, the fair value of retained interests recognized
by the Bank is determined by estimating the present value of future
expected cash flows using management’s best estimates of key
assumptions including credit losses, prepayment rates, forward yield
curves and discount rates, and commensurate with the risks involved.
Differences between the actual cash flows and the Bank’s estimate of
future cash flows are recognized in income. These assumptions are
subject to periodic review and may change due to significant changes
in the economic environment.
gOODWILL AND OTHER INTANgIBLES
The fair value of the Bank’s cash generating units (CGUs) is 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 CGUs 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 amounts of the Bank’s CGUs
are determined by management using risk-based capital models
(based on advanced approaches under Basel III) to adjust net assets
and liabilities by CGU. These models consider various factors including
market risk, credit risk, and operational risk, including investment
capital (comprised of goodwill and intangibles). Any unallocated capi-
tal not directly attributable to the CGUs is held within the Corporate
segment. TD’s capital oversight committees provide oversight to the
Bank’s capital allocation methodologies.
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 ManageMent’s Discussion anD analysis EmPLOyEE BENEFITS
The projected benefit obligation and expense related to the Bank’s
pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit plans are determined
using multiple assumptions that may significantly influence the value
of these amounts. Actuarial assumptions including 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 annually with the Bank’s actuaries. The Bank develops each
assumption using relevant historical experience of the Bank in conjunc-
tion with market-related data and considers if the market-related data
indicates there is any prolonged or significant impact on the assump-
tions. The discount rate used to measure plan obligations is based on
long-term high quality corporate bond yields as at October 31. 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 expecta-
tions, result in increases or decreases in the pension and non-pension
post-retirement benefit plans obligations and expenses in future years.
INCOmE TAXES
The Bank is subject to taxation in numerous jurisdictions. There are
many transactions and calculations in the ordinary course of business
for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Bank main-
tains provisions for uncertain tax positions that it believes appropriately
reflect the risk of 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 Bank’s best
estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on an assessment
of all relevant factors, which are reviewed 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 relevant taxing authorities.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available in future periods against
which deductible temporary differences may be utilized. The amount
of the deferred 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 decrease its
deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes can be realized. The
magnitude of the decrease 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 deferred tax assets.
PROVISIONS
Provisions arise when there is some uncertainty in the timing or amount
of a loss in the future. Provisions are based on the Bank’s best estimate
of all expenditures required to settle its present obligations, considering
all relevant risks and uncertainties, as well as, when material, the effect
of the time value of money.
Many of the Bank’s provisions relate to various legal actions that the
Bank is involved in during the ordinary course of business. Legal provi-
sions require the involvement of both the Bank’s management and
legal counsel when assessing the probability of a loss and estimating
any monetary impact. Throughout the life of a provision, the Bank’s
management or legal counsel may learn of additional information that
may impact its assessments about the probability of loss or about the
estimates of amounts involved. Changes in these assessments may lead
to changes in the amount recorded for provisions. In addition, the
actual costs of resolving these claims may be substantially higher or
lower than the amounts recognized. The Bank reviews its legal provi-
sions on a case-by-case basis after considering, among other factors,
the progress of each case, the Bank’s experience, the experience of
others in similar cases, and the opinions and views of legal counsel.
INSURANCE
The assumptions used in establishing the Bank’s insurance claims and
policy benefit liabilities are based on best estimates of possible outcomes.
For property and casualty insurance, the ultimate cost to the Bank
will vary from the assumptions used to determine the liabilities
recognized, as additional information with respect to the facts and
circumstance of each claim incurred is incorporated into the liability.
For life and health insurance, actuarial liabilities consider all future
policy cash flows, including premiums, claims, and expenses required
to administer the policies.
The Bank’s mortality assumptions have been derived from a combi-
nation of its own experience and industry experience. Policyholders
may allow their policies to lapse by choosing not to continue to pay
premiums. The Bank bases its estimates of future lapse rates on previ-
ous experience when available, or industry experience. Estimates of
future policy administration expenses are based on the Bank’s previous
and expected future experience.
CONSOLIDATION OF SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITITES
Management judgment is required when assessing whether the Bank
should consolidate an entity, particularly complex entities. An example
of such judgment is to determine whether an entity meets the definition
of an SPE, and if so, whether all the relevant facts and circumstances,
when considered together, would indicate that the Bank controls such
an SPE, including an analysis of the Bank’s exposure to the risks and
rewards of the SPE. These judgments are discussed further in Note 3
to the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 IFRS, and that
receipts and expenditures of the Bank are being made only in accor-
dance with authorizations of the Bank’s management 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 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, 2012,
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, 2012. 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, 2012.
CHANgES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTINg
During the year and quarter ended October 31, 2012, 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

The management of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries (the
“Bank”) is responsible for the integrity, consistency, objectivity and reliabil-
ity of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bank and related finan-
cial information as presented. International Financial Reporting Standards
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 reasonable assurance
that financial records are complete and accurate and that assets are safe-
guarded 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, 2012 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, 2012, the
Bank’s internal control over financial reporting is effective.
The Bank’s Board of Directors, acting through the Audit Committee
which is composed entirely of independent directors, oversees management’s
responsibilities for financial reporting. 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 control over the financial reporting process
and making recommendations to the Board and shareholders regarding the

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, 2012 and 2011, and November 1, 2010, and the Consolidated
Statements of Income, Changes in Equity, Comprehensive Income and Cash
Flows for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 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 International
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines
is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance
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 requirements 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 statements.
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 consolidated financial statements in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances.
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 professional
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 share-
holders of the Bank, have audited the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal
control over financial reporting as at October 31, 2012 in addition to audit-
ing 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 Commit-
tee 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.

An audit also includes examining, 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 over-
all 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, 2012 and 2011, and November 1, 2010, and its financial perfor-
mance and its cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011,
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board.
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, 2012, 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 December 5, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on
The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report on Internal Control 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, 2012, 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). 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 under-
standing 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 procedures 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 accor-
dance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”). A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accu-
rately 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 IFRS, 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 detection 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 procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, The Toronto-Dominion Bank maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31,
2012, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the Consolidated Balance Sheet of The
Toronto-Dominion Bank as at October 31, 2012 and 2011, and November 1,
2010, and the Consolidated Statements of Income, Changes in Equity,
Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended October 31, 2012 of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and our
report dated December 5, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NATurE Of OPErATIONS
COrPOrATE INfOrmATION
The Toronto-Dominion Bank is a bank chartered under the Bank Act
(Canada). The shareholders of a bank are not, as shareholders, liable
for any liability, act or default of the bank except as otherwise
provided under the Act. The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries
are collectively known as TD Bank Group (TD or the Bank). The Bank
was formed through the amalgamation on February 1, 1955 of The
Bank of Toronto (chartered in 1855) and The Dominion Bank (chartered
in 1869). The Bank is incorporated and domiciled in Canada with its
registered and principal business offices located at 66 Wellington
Street West, Toronto, Ontario. TD serves customers in four key segments
operating in a number of locations in key financial centres around the
globe: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, Wealth and Insur-
ance, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking, and Wholesale Banking.
BASIS Of PrEPArATION
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and accounting
principles followed by the Bank have been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), effective for
the Bank as at October 31, 2012, as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB), including the accounting require-
ments of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions
Canada (OSFI). These Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared
in accordance with IFRS 1, First-time Adoption of IFRS (IFRS 1).
The preparation of financial statements requires that management
make estimates, assumptions and judgments regarding the reported
amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities, as further described in Note 3.
Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimated amounts as
future confirming events occur.
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Bank for the year
ended October 31, 2012 were approved and authorized for issue by
the Bank’s Board of Directors, in accordance with a resolution of
the Audit Committee, on December 5, 2012.
The Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements were previously
prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). The comparative figures for 2011 were restated to
reflect transitional adjustments to comply with IFRS. See Note 38,
Transition to IFRS, for details along with reconciliations and descriptions
of the effect of the transition to IFRS on the Bank’s opening balance
sheet, equity, net income, and comprehensive income.
Certain disclosures are included in the shaded sections of the
“Managing Risk” section of the MD&A in this report, as permitted by
IFRS, and form an integral part of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with
the presentation adopted in the current year. The Consolidated Financial
Statements were prepared under a historical cost basis, except for
certain items carried at fair value as discussed below.
NO T E 2
SummAry Of SIGNIfICANT ACCOuNTING POlICIES
BASIS Of CONSOlIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the assets, liabilities,
results of operations, and cash flows of the Bank and its subsidiaries
including certain special purpose entities (SPEs) which it controls. The
Bank controls entities when it has the power to govern the financial
and operating policies of the entity, generally when the Bank owns,
directly or indirectly, more than half of the voting power of the entity.
The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently
exercisable or convertible are considered in assessing whether the Bank
controls an entity. The Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements have
been prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions
and events in similar circumstances. All intercompany transactions,
balances and unrealized gains and losses on transactions are elimi-
nated on consolidation.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are corporations or other legal entities controlled by the
Bank, generally through directly holding more than half of the voting
power of the entity. The existence and effect of potential voting rights
that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered in assessing
whether the Bank controls an entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated
from the date the Bank obtains control and continue to be consoli-
dated until the date when control ceases to exist.
Special Purpose Entities
SPEs are entities that are created to accomplish a narrow and well-
defined objective. SPEs may take the form of a corporation, trust,
partnership or unincorporated entity. SPEs often are created with
legal arrangements that impose limits on the decision-making powers
of their governing board, trustee or management over the operations
of the SPE.
Typically, SPEs may not be controlled directly through holding more
than half of the voting power of the entity. As a result, SPEs are
consolidated when the substance of the relationship between the Bank
and the SPE indicates that the SPE is controlled by the Bank. When
assessing whether the Bank has to consolidate an SPE, the Bank evalu-
ates a range of factors, including whether, in substance:
•
•
•
•
The activities of the SPE are being conducted on the Bank’s behalf
according to its specific business needs so that the Bank obtains the
benefits from the SPE’s operations;
The Bank has the decision-making powers to obtain the majority of
the benefits of the activities of the SPE;
The Bank has rights to obtain the majority of the benefits of the SPE
and therefore may be exposed to risks arising from the activities of
the SPE; or
The Bank retains the majority of the residual or ownership risk
related to the SPE or its assets in order to obtain the benefits from
its activities.
Consolidation conclusions need to be reassessed at the end of each
financial reporting period. The Bank’s policy is to consider the impact
on consolidation of all significant changes in circumstances, especially
the following types of events:
•
Substantive changes in ownership, such as the purchase of more
than an insignificant additional interest, or disposal of more than an
insignificant interest in an entity;
Changes in contractual or governance arrangements of an entity;
Additional activities undertaken, such as providing a liquidity facility
beyond the terms established originally, or entering into a transac-
tion that was not originally contemplated; or
Changes in the financing structure of an entity.
•
•
•
Investments in Associates and Jointly Controlled Entities
Entities over which the Bank has significant influence are associates
and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Signifi-
cant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating
policy decisions of an investee, but is not control or joint control over
these entities. Investments in associates are carried on the Consoli-
dated Balance Sheet initially at cost and increased or decreased to
recognize the Bank’s share of the profit or loss of the associate, capital
transactions, including the receipt of any dividends, and write-downs
to reflect impairment in the value of such entities. These increases or
decreases, together with any gains and losses realized on disposition,
95
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results are 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. The Bank takes into account changes in the subsequent
period that would significantly affect the results.
the Consolidated Balance Sheet as securities purchased under reverse
repurchase agreements and obligations related to securities sold under
repurchase agreements, respectively.
Trading portfolio assets and liabilities are recognized on a trade date
The proportionate consolidation method is used to account for
investments in which the Bank exercises joint control. Only the
Bank’s pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses
is consolidated.
At each balance sheet date, the Bank assesses whether there is
any objective evidence that the investment in an associate or jointly
controlled entity is impaired. The Bank calculates the amount of
impairment as the difference between the higher of fair value or
value-in-use and its carrying value.
Non-controlling Interests
When the Bank does not own all of the equity of the subsidiary, the
minority shareholders’ interest is presented in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as non-controlling interests in subsidiaries as a compo-
nent of total equity, separate from the equity of the Bank’s sharehold-
ers. The income attributable to the minority interest holders, net of
tax, is presented as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statement
of 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
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Bank and the revenue can be reliably
measured. Revenue associated with the rendering of services is recog-
nized by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the
end of the reporting period.
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, are recog-
nized as income when the Bank has rendered all services to the issuer
and is entitled to collect the fee.
Credit fees include commissions, liquidity fees, restructuring fees,
and loan syndication fees and are recognized as earned.
Interest from interest-bearing assets and liabilities is recognized as
interest income using the Effective Interest Rate (EIR). EIR is the rate
that discounts expected future cash flows for the expected life of the
financial instrument to its carrying value. The calculation takes into
account the contractual interest rate, along with any fees or incremen-
tal costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and all other
premiums or discounts.
Card services income including interchange income from credit and
debit cards and annual fees, is 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.
Revenue recognition policies related to financial instruments and
insurance are described in the accounting policies below.
fINANCIAl INSTrumENTS OTHEr THAN DErIVATIVES
Trading Assets and Trading Liabilities
Financial instruments are included within the trading portfolio if they
have been originated, acquired or incurred principally for the purpose
of selling or repurchasing in the near term, or they form part of a port-
folio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and
for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term
profit-taking.
Included within the trading portfolio are trading securities, trading
loans, trading deposits, securitization liabilities at fair value, obligations
related to securities sold short, and physical commodities, as well as
certain financing-type commodities transactions that are recorded on
96
basis and are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value as
well as any gains or losses realized on disposal recognized in trading
income. Physical commodities are measured at fair value less costs to
sell. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Dividends are recog-
nized on the ex-dividend date and interest is recognized on an accrual
basis using the effective interest rate method. Both dividends and
interest are included in interest income or interest expense.
Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Certain financial assets and liabilities that do not meet the definition
of trading may be designated at fair value through profit or loss. To
be designated at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets or
liabilities must meet one of the following criteria: (1) the designation
eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition
inconsistency; (2) a group of financial assets or liabilities or both is
managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis in
accordance with a documented risk management or investment strat-
egy; or (3) the instrument contains one or more embedded derivatives
unless: (a) the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the
cash flows that otherwise would be required by the contract; or (b)
it is clear with little or no analysis that separation of the embedded
derivative from the financial instrument is prohibited. In addition, the
fair value through profit or loss designation is available only for those
financial instruments for which a reliable estimate of fair value can be
obtained. Once financial assets and liabilities are designated at fair
value through profit or loss, the designation is irrevocable.
Assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss
are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, with
changes in fair value as well as any gains or losses realized on disposal
recognized in other income. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis
using the effective interest rate method and is included in interest
income or interest expense.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Financial instruments not classified as trading, designated at fair value
through profit or loss, held-to-maturity or loans, are classified as avail-
able-for-sale and include equity investments and debt securities.
Available-for-sale securities are recognized on a trade date basis and
are carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with
changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income.
Gains and losses realized on disposal of instruments classified as
available-for-sale are calculated on an average cost basis and are
recognized in net gains (losses) from available-for-sale securities in
non-interest income. Dividends are recognized on the ex-dividend date
and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effec-
tive interest rate method. Both dividends and interest are included in
interest income.
For instruments classified as available-for-sale, impairment losses
are recognized if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment
as a result of one or more events that have occurred (a ‘loss event’)
and the loss event(s) results in a decrease in the estimated future cash
flows of the instrument. In the case of equity instruments classified
as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in fair value
below cost is considered objective evidence that impairment may
have occurred. In the case of debt securities classified as available-for-
sale, a deterioration in credit quality is considered objective evidence
of impairment. When impairment is identified, the cumulative net
loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income, less any
impairment loss previously recognized in the Consolidated Statement
of Income, is removed from other comprehensive income and recog-
nized in net gains (losses) from available-for-sale securities in non-
interest income.
If the fair value of a previously impaired equity instrument subse-
quently increases, the impairment loss is not reversed through the
Consolidated Statement of Income. Subsequent increases in fair value
are recognized in other comprehensive income. If the fair value of a
previously impaired debt instrument subsequently increases and the
increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results impairment was recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income,
then the impairment loss is reversed through the Consolidated State-
ment of Income. An increase in fair value in excess of impairment
recognized previously in the Consolidated Statement of Income is
recognized in other comprehensive income.
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
carried at amortized cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of an
allowance for loan losses and net of unearned income, which includes
prepaid interest, loan origination fees and costs, commitment fees,
loan syndication fees, and unamortized discounts or premiums.
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest rate
method. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts
estimated future cash flows over the expected life of the loan. Loan
origination fees and costs are considered to be adjustments to the loan
yield and are recognized in interest income over the term of the loan.
Commitment fees are recognized in credit fees 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 credit
fees 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 appropri-
ate portion of the fee is recognized as a yield adjustment to interest
income over the term of the loan.
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.
Loan Impairment and the Allowance for Credit Losses, Excluding
Acquired Credit-Impaired Loans
A loan (including a debt security classified as a loan) is considered
impaired when there is objective evidence that there has been a
deterioration of credit quality subsequent to the initial recognition
of the loan (‘a loss event’) to the extent the Bank no longer has
reasonable assurance as to the timely collection of the full amount
of principal and interest. Indicators of impairment could include,
but are not limited to, one or more of the following:
• Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;
• A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or
principal payments;
• Increased probability that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or
other financial reorganization; or
• The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset.
Acquired credit-impaired (ACI) loans are reported separately from
impaired loans as they exhibited indications of impairment at the
date of acquisition and are accounted for based on present value
of expected cash flows on the date of acquisition and subsequent
to acquisition.
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 remedied. Subject to assessment on a
loan-by-loan basis, the Bank may restructure a loan or take possession
of collateral. Restructuring may involve extending the payment
arrangements and modification of various covenant terms. Once
modified, if management expects full collection of payments under
the revised loan terms, the loan is no longer considered impaired.
Allowance for credit losses represent management’s best estimate
of impairment incurred in the lending portfolios, including any off-
balance sheet exposures, at the balance sheet date. The allowance for
loan losses, which includes credit-related allowances for residential
mortgages, consumer instalment and other personal, credit card, busi-
ness and government loans, and debt securities classified as loans, is
deducted from loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The allow-
ance for credit losses for off-balance sheet instruments, which relates
to certain guarantees, letters of credit and undrawn lines of credit, is
recognized in provisions on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Allow-
ances for lending portfolios reported on the balance sheet and off-
balance sheet exposures are calculated using the same methodology.
The allowance is increased by the provision for credit losses, and
decreased by write-offs net of recoveries. The Bank maintains both
counterparty-specific and collectively assessed allowances. Each quar-
ter, allowances are reassessed and adjusted based on any changes in
management’s estimate of the future cash flows estimated to be
recovered. Credit losses on impaired loans continue to be recognized
by means of an allowance for credit losses until a loan is written off.
A loan is written off against the related allowance for credit losses
when there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Non-retail loans are
generally written off when all reasonable collections efforts have been
exhausted, such as when a loan is sold, when all security has been
realized or when all security has been resolved with the receiver or
bankruptcy court. Non-real estate secured retail loans are generally
written off when contractual payments are 180 days past due, or
when a loan is sold. Real-estate secured retail loans are generally
written off when the security is realized.
Counterparty-Specific Allowance
Individually significant loans, such as the Bank’s medium-sized business
and government loans and debt securities classified as loans, are
assessed for impairment at the counterparty-specific level. The impair-
ment assessment is based on the counterparty’s credit ratings, overall
financial condition, and where applicable, the realizable value of the
collateral. An allowance, if applicable, is measured as the difference
between the carrying amount of the loan and the estimated recover-
able amount. The estimated recoverable amount is the present value
of the estimated future cash flows, discounted using the loan’s original
effective interest rate.
Collectively Assessed Allowance for Individually Insignificant
Impaired Loans
Individually insignificant loans, such as the Bank’s personal and small
business loans and credit cards, are collectively assessed for impair-
ment. Allowances are calculated using a formula that incorporates
recent loss experience, historical default rates, other applicable
currently observable data, and the type of collateral pledged.
Collectively Assessed Allowance for Incurred but Not Identified
Credit Losses
If there is no objective evidence of impairment for an individual loan,
whether significant or not, the loan is included in a group of assets
with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for
impairment for losses incurred but not identified. This allowance is
referred to as the allowance for incurred but not identified credit
losses. The level of the allowance for each group depends upon
an assessment of business and economic conditions, historical loss
experience, loan portfolio composition, and other relevant indicators.
Historical loss experience is adjusted based on current observable data
to reflect the effects of current conditions. The allowance for losses
that are incurred but not identified is computed using credit risk
models that consider probability of default (loss frequency), loss given
credit default (loss severity), and exposure at default.
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 contractu-
ally required principal and interest payments, they are considered to be
ACI loans; these loans and their associated accounting are described
in the section below.
97
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results Acquired loans for which an incurred loss is not present at the
acquisition 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 is recognized in interest income over the term
of the loan using the effective interest rate method. These loans are
included in the Bank’s originated loan portfolios and are subject to
assessment under the Bank’s allowance framework for counterparty-
specific, collectively assessed individually insignificant, and collectively
assessed allowances that are incurred but not identified, subsequent
to acquisition.
Acquired Credit-Impaired Loans
ACI loans are acquired loans with evidence of incurred credit losses
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 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 determined 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 incorporates 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. The remaining ACI loans are
aggregated 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.
Subsequent to acquisition, the Bank will re-assess its estimate of
cash flows to determine if updates are required. Updates to cash flow
estimates incorporate assumptions regarding default rates, loss severi-
ties, 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
discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan. Impairment that
occurs subsequent to the acquisition date is recognized through the
provision for credit losses. As ACI loans are consistently evaluated for
credit losses by accounting for the loan based on present value of
expected cash flows, inclusive of incurred loss, both at acquisition and
subsequent to acquisition, they are not subject to an allowance for
incurred but not identified credit losses, as incurred credit losses are
specifically identified and reflected in the loan’s carrying value.
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.
FDIC Covered Loans
Loans subject to loss share agreements with the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation (“FDIC”) are considered FDIC covered loans. The
amounts expected to be reimbursed by the FDIC are considered sepa-
rately as indemnification assets and are initially measured at fair value.
If losses on the portfolio are greater than amounts expected as at the
acquisition date, an impairment loss is taken by establishing an allow-
ance for credit losses, which is determined gross, exclusive of any
adjustments to the indemnification assets.
Indemnification assets are subsequently adjusted for any changes in
estimates related to the overall collectability of the underlying loan
98
portfolio. Any additional impairment of the underlying loan portfolio
generally results in an increase of the indemnification asset through
the provision for credit losses. Alternatively, decreases in the expecta-
tion 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.
FDIC covered loans are recorded in “Loans” on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet. The indemnification assets are 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 in part of the indemnifica-
tion asset at the date of acquisition. Subsequent changes to the
estimated payment are considered in determining the adjustment to
the indemnification asset as described above.
Financial Liabilities Carried at Amortized Cost
Deposits
Deposits, other than deposits included in a trading portfolio, are
accounted for at amortized cost. Accrued interest on deposits, calcu-
lated using the effective interest rate method, is included in other
liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Subordinated Notes and Debentures
Subordinated notes and debentures are accounted for at amortized
cost. Interest expense is recognized on an accrual basis using the
effective interest rate method.
Liability for Preferred Shares and Capital Trust Securities
The Bank classifies issued instruments in accordance with the substance
of the contractual arrangement. Issued instruments that are mandato-
rily redeemable or convertible into a variable number of the Bank’s
common shares at the holder’s option are classified as liabilities on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Dividend or interest payments on these
instruments are recognized in interest expense.
Preferred shares that are not mandatorily redeemable or that are
not convertible into a variable number of the Bank’s common shares
at the holder’s option are classified and presented in Share Capital.
Guarantees
The Bank issues guarantee contracts that require payments to be made
to guaranteed parties 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.
Financial standby letters of credit are financial guarantees that repre-
sent irrevocable 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 require-
ments as loans extended to customers. Performance standby letters of
credit are considered non-financial guarantees as payment does not
depend on the occurrence of a credit event and is generally related to
a non-financial trigger event. Financial and performance standby
letters of credit are initially measured and recorded at their fair value.
A guarantee liability is recorded on initial recognition at fair value
which is normally equal to the present value of the guarantee fees
received over the life of contract. The Bank’s release from risk is recog-
nized over the term of the guarantee using a systematic and rational
amortization method.
If a guarantee meets the definition of a derivative, it is carried at fair
value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and reported as a derivative
asset or derivative liability at fair value. Guarantees that are considered
derivatives are a type of credit derivative which are over-the-counter
(OTC) contracts designed to transfer the credit risk in an underlying
financial instrument from one counterparty to another.
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results DErIVATIVES
Derivatives are instruments that derive their value from changes in
underlying interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads,
commodity prices, equities, or other financial or non-financial measures.
Such instruments include interest rate, foreign exchange, equity,
commodity and credit derivative contracts. The Bank uses these instru-
ments for trading and non-trading purposes to manage the risks
associated with its funding and investment strategies.
Derivatives are carried at their fair value on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet.
The notional amounts of derivatives 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 in accordance with the contract. 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 derivatives.
Derivatives Held for Trading Purposes
The Bank enters into trading derivative contracts to meet the needs
of its customers, to enter into trading positions primarily to provide
liquidity and market-making related activities, and in certain cases, to
manage risks related to its trading portfolio. The realized and unreal-
ized gains or losses on trading derivatives are recognized immediately
in trading income.
Derivatives Held for Non-trading Purposes
When derivatives are held for non-trading purposes and when the
transactions meet the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39,
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39), 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
hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39, are also classified as non-
trading derivatives with the change in fair value of these derivatives
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 considered 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 relationship becomes ineffective, it no longer qualifies for
hedge accounting and any subsequent change in the fair value of
the hedging instrument is recognized in the Consolidated Statement
of Income.
Changes 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 changes 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 recognized in non-interest
income in the Consolidated 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 immedi-
ately in non-interest income.
The cumulative adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged
item (the basis adjustment) is amortized to the Consolidated Statement
of Income in net interest 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 net interest income in 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 the variability in future cash
flows on 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 effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative
that is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge is recognized in
other comprehensive income. The change in fair value of the derivative
relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in non-
interest income.
Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassi-
fied to net interest income in 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 recog-
nized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. When a forecasted
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss
that was reported in other comprehensive income is immediately
reclassified to net interest income in the Consolidated Statement
of Income.
Net Investment Hedges
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for
similar to cash flow hedges. The change in fair value on the hedging
instrument relating to the effective portion is recognized in other
comprehensive income. The change in fair value of the hedging instru-
ment relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in
the Consolidated Statement of Income. Gains and losses accumulated
in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the Consolidated
Statement of Income upon the disposal or partial disposal of the
investment in the foreign operation.
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 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 desig-
nated at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives,
which are bifurcated from the host contract, are recognized on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet as derivatives and measured at fair value
with subsequent changes recognized in non-interest income in the
Consolidated Statement of Income.
TrANSlATION Of fOrEIGN CurrENCIES
The Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in Canadian
dollars, which is the presentation currency of the Bank. Items included
in the financial statements of each of the Bank’s entities are measured
using their functional currency, which is the currency of the primary
economic environment in which they operate.
99
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that
differs from an entity’s functional currency are translated into the
functional currency of the entity at exchange rates prevailing at the
balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated
at historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated into
an entity’s functional currency at average exchange rates prevailing
throughout the year. Translation gains and losses are included in
non-interest income except for available-for-sale equity securities
where unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded in other
comprehensive income until the asset is sold or becomes impaired.
Foreign-currency denominated subsidiaries are those with a func-
tional currency other than Canadian dollars. For the purpose of trans-
lation into the Bank’s functional currency, all assets and liabilities are
translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and
all income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for
the period. Unrealized translation gains and losses relating to these
operations, net of gains or losses arising from net investment hedges
of these positions and applicable income taxes, are included in other
comprehensive income. Translation gains and losses accumulated
in other comprehensive income are recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Income upon the disposal or partial disposal of the
investment in the foreign operation. The investment balance of foreign
entities accounted for by the equity method, including TD Ameritrade,
is translated into Canadian dollars using the closing rate at the end
of the period with exchange gains or losses recognized in other
comprehensive income.
OffSETTING Of fINANCIAl INSTrumENTS
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amount
presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, only if the Bank currently
has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts, and
intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle
the liability simultaneously. In all other situations assets and liabilities
are presented on a gross basis.
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.
The Bank recognizes various types of valuation adjustments to
account for factors that market participants would use in determining
fair value which are not included in valuation techniques due to system
limitations or measurement uncertainty. 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.
If there is a difference between the initial transaction price and the
value based on a valuation technique which includes observable
market inputs, the difference is referred to as inception profit or loss.
Inception profit or loss is recognized into income upon initial recogni-
tion of the instrument. When an instrument is measured using a valua-
tion technique that utilizes non-observable 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 recognized as a financial liability until either its fair value
becomes positive, at which time it is recognized as a financial asset, or
until it is extinguished.
DErECOGNITION Of fINANCIAl INSTrumENTS
Financial Assets
The Bank derecognizes a financial asset when 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 asset have been retained, the
Bank continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a
financial liability for the consideration received. If substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset have been trans-
ferred, the Bank will derecognize the financial asset and recognize
separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or
retained in the transfer. The Bank determines whether substantially all
the risk and rewards have been transferred by quantitatively compar-
ing the variability in cash flows before and after the transfer. If the
variability in cash flows does not change significantly as a result of the
transfer, the Bank has retained substantially all of the risks and
rewards of ownership.
If the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Bank derecognizes
the financial asset where it has relinquished control of the financial
asset. The Bank is considered to have relinquished control of the finan-
cial 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. Under these
circumstances, the Bank usually retains the rights to future cash flows
relating to the asset through a residual interest and is exposed to some
degree of risk associated with the financial asset.
The derecognition criteria are also applied to the transfer of part
of an asset, rather than the asset as a whole, or to a group of similar
financial assets in their entirety, when applicable. If transferring a
part of an asset, it must be a specifically identified cash flow, a fully
proportionate share of the asset, or a fully proportionate share of a
specifically identified cash flow.
Securitization
Securitization is the process by which financial assets are transformed
into securities. The Bank securitizes financial assets by transferring
those financial assets to a third party and as part of the securitization,
certain financial assets may be retained and may consist of an interest-
only strip, servicing rights and, in some cases, a cash reserve account
(collectively referred to as ‘retained interests’). If the transfer qualifies
for derecognition, a gain or loss is recognized immediately in other
income after the effects of hedges on the assets sold, if applicable.
The amount of the gain or loss is calculated as the difference between
the carrying amount of the asset transferred and the sum of any cash
proceeds received, including any financial asset received or financial
liability assumed, and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to the
transferred asset that had been recognized in other comprehensive
income. To determine the value of the retained interest initially
recorded, the previous carrying value of the transferred asset is allo-
cated between the amount derecognized from the balance sheet and
the retained interest recorded, in proportion to their relative fair values
on the date of transfer. Subsequent to initial recognition, 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 that
market participants would use in determining fair value. Refer to
Note 3 for assumptions used by management in determining the fair
value of retained interests.
100
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results Where the Bank retains the servicing rights, the benefits of servicing
are assessed against market expectations. When the benefits of servic-
ing 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.
Financial Liabilities
The Bank derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation under
the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. If an existing financial
liability is replaced by another financial liability from the same lender
on substantially different terms or where the terms of the existing
liability are substantially modified, the original liability is derecognized
and a new liability is recognized with the difference in the respective
carrying amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Securities Purchased Under Reverse Repurchase Agreements,
Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements, and Securities
Borrowing and Lending
Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements involve the
purchase of securities by the Bank under agreements to resell the
securities at a future date. These agreements are treated as collateral-
ized lending transactions whereby the Bank takes possession of the
purchased securities, but does not acquire the risks and rewards of
ownership. The Bank monitors the market value of the purchased
securities relative to the amounts due under the reverse repurchase
agreements, and when necessary, requires transfer of additional collat-
eral. In the event of counterparty default, the agreements provide
the Bank with the right to liquidate the 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 do not result in the risks and rewards of ownership being
relinquished and are treated as collateralized borrowing transactions.
The Bank monitors the market value of the securities sold relative to
the amounts due under the repurchase agreements, and when neces-
sary, transfers additional collateral. Certain transactions that do not
meet derecognition criteria under IFRS are also included in obligations
related to securities sold under repurchase agreements. Refer to
Note 8 for further details.
Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and obli-
gations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements are
initially recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the respective
prices at which the securities were originally acquired or sold, plus
accrued interest. Subsequently, the agreements are measured at amor-
tized cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, plus accrued interest.
Interest earned on reverse repurchase agreements and interest incurred
on repurchase agreements 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 counter-
party 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 as an obligation related to securities sold under
repurchase agreements on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Where
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 or received as collateral, security
borrowing fees and security lending income are recorded in non-interest
expenses and non-interest income, respectively, in the Consolidated
Statement of Income. Where cash is pledged or received as collateral,
interest received or incurred is determined using the effective interest
rate method and is included in interest income and interest expense,
respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Commodities purchased or sold with an agreement to sell or repur-
chase the commodities at a later date at a fixed price, are also included
in securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and
obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements,
respectively, if the derecognition criteria under IFRS are not met. These
instruments are measured at fair value.
GOODWIll
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the net
fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired in a business
combination. Goodwill is carried at its initial cost less accumulated
impairment losses.
Goodwill is allocated to a cash generating unit (CGU) or group of
CGUs that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the business
combination, regardless of whether any assets acquired and liabilities
assumed are assigned to the CGU or group of CGUs. A CGU is the
smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash flows largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
Each CGU, or group of CGUs to which the goodwill is allocated,
represents the lowest level within the Bank at which the goodwill is
monitored for internal management purposes and is not larger than
an operating segment.
Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually and when
an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying
amount may be impaired. When impairment indicators are present,
the recoverable amount of the CGU or group of CGUs, which is the
higher of its estimated fair value less costs to sell and its value-in-use,
is determined. If the carrying amount of the CGU or group of CGUs
is higher than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss exists. The
impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income
and is applied to the goodwill balance. An impairment loss cannot
be reversed in future periods.
INTANGIBlE ASSETS
The Bank’s intangible assets consist primarily of core deposit intangi-
bles and computer software. Intangible assets are initially recognized
at fair value and are amortized over their estimated useful lives (3 to
20 years) proportionate to their expected economic benefits, except
for software which is amortized over its estimated useful life (3 to
7 years) on a straight-line basis.
The Bank assesses its intangible assets for impairment on a quarterly
basis. When impairment indicators are present, the recoverable amount
of the asset, which is the higher of its estimated fair value less costs
to sell and its value-in-use, is determined. If the carrying amount of the
asset is higher than its recoverable amount, the asset is written down
to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the
Consolidated Statement of Income in the period in which the impair-
ment is identified. Impairment losses recognized previously are
assessed and reversed if the circumstances leading to the impairment
are no longer present. Reversal of any impairment loss will not exceed
the carrying amount of the intangible asset that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in
prior periods.
lAND, BuIlDINGS, EQuIPmENT, AND OTHEr
DEPrECIABlE ASSETS
Land is recognized at cost. Buildings, computer equipment, furniture and
fixtures, other equipment and leasehold improvements are recognized
at cost less accumulated depreciation and provisions for impairment, if
any. Gains and losses on disposal are included in non-interest income
in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Properties or other assets leased under a finance lease are capital-
ized as assets and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser
of the lease term and the 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.
101
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives
of the assets estimated by asset category, as follows:
Asset
useful life
Buildings
Computer equipment
Furniture and fixtures
Other equipment
Leasehold improvements
15 to 40 years
3 to 7 years
3 to 15 years
5 to 8 years
Lesser of lease term plus one renewal and 15 years
The Bank assesses its depreciable assets for impairment on a quarterly
basis. When impairment indicators are present, the recoverable
amount of the asset, which is the higher of its estimated fair value less
costs to sell and its value-in-use, is determined. If the carrying value
of the asset is higher than its recoverable amount, the asset is written
down to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in
the Consolidated Statement of Income in the period in which the
impairment is identified. Impairment losses recognized previously are
assessed and reversed if the circumstances leading to their impairment
are no longer present. Reversal of any impairment loss will not exceed
the carrying amount of the depreciable asset that would have been
determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in
prior periods.
NON-CurrENT ASSETS HElD fOr SAlE
Individual non-current assets (and disposal groups) are classified as
held for sale if they are available for immediate sale in their present
condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales
of such assets (or disposal groups), and their sale must be highly
probable to occur within one year. For a sale to be highly probable,
management must be committed to a sales plan and initiate an active
program to market for the sale of the non-current assets (and disposal
groups). Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for
sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value
less costs to sell on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Subsequent to its
initial classification as held for sale, a non-current asset (and disposal
group) is no longer depreciated or amortized, and any subsequent
write-downs in fair value less costs to sell or such increases not in
excess of cumulative write-downs, are recognized in the Consolidated
Statement of Income.
SHArE-BASED COmPENSATION
The Bank grants share options to certain employees as compensation
for services provided to the Bank. The Bank uses a binomial tree-based
valuation option pricing model to estimate fair value for all share-
based compensation awards. The cost of the share options is based
on the fair value estimated at the grant date and is recognized as
compensation expense and contributed surplus over the service period
required for employees to become fully entitled to the awards. This
period is generally equal to the vesting period and includes a period
prior to the grant date. For the Bank’s share options, this period is
generally equal to five years. When options are exercised, the amount
initially recognized in the contributed surplus balance is reduced with
a corresponding increase in common shares.
The Bank has various other share-based compensation plans where
certain employees are awarded cash payments equivalent to units of
the Bank’s common shares as compensation for services provided to
the Bank. The obligation related to share units is included in other
liabilities. Compensation expense is recognized based on the fair value
of the share units at the grant date adjusted for changes in fair value
between the grant date and the vesting date, net of the effects of
hedges, over the service period required for employees to become fully
entitled to the awards. This period is generally equal to the vesting
period and includes a period prior to the grant date. For the Bank’s
share units, this period is generally equal to four years.
EmPlOyEE BENEfITS
Defined Benefit Plans
Actuarial valuations are prepared at least every three years to deter-
mine the present value of the projected benefit obligation related to
the Bank’s principal pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit
plans. In periods between actuarial valuations, an extrapolation is
performed based on the most recent valuation completed. 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 with
the Bank’s actuaries. The expense recognized includes the cost of
benefits for employee service provided in the current year, interest
expense on obligations, expected return on plan assets, the cost of
vested plan amendments, the amortization of the cost of unvested
plan amendments, and amortization of actuarial gains or losses. The
fair value of plan assets and the present value of the projected benefit
obligation are measured as at October 31. The net defined benefit
asset or liability represents the difference between the cumulative
expenses and recognized cumulative contributions and is reported in
other assets or other liabilities.
The cost of plan amendments are recognized in income immediately
if they relate to vested benefits. Otherwise, the cost of plan amend-
ments are deferred and amortized into income on a straight-line basis
over the vesting period, which is the period until the plan member
becomes unconditionally entitled to the benefits for the principal
pension plans and the expected average remaining period to full eligi-
bility for the principal non-pension post-retirement benefit plan.
The excess, if any, of the accumulated net actuarial gain or loss over
10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation and the fair
value of plan assets for the Bank’s principal pension plans is recog-
nized in income on a straight-line basis over the expected average
remaining working lives of the active plan members. This is commonly
referred to as the corridor approach.
Prepaid pension assets recognized by the Bank are subject to a
ceiling which limits the asset recognized on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet to the amount that is recoverable through refunds of contribu-
tions or future contribution holidays. In addition, where a regulatory
funding deficit exists related to a defined benefit plan, the Bank is
required to record a liability equal to the present value of all future
cash payments required to eliminate that deficit.
Curtailment and settlement gains and losses are recognized in
income by the Bank when the curtailment or settlement occurs.
A curtailment occurs when the Bank is demonstrably committed to
materially reducing the number of employees covered by the plan,
or amending the terms of a defined benefit plan so that a significant
element of future service by current employees will no longer qualify
for benefits, or will qualify only for reduced benefits. A settlement
occurs when the Bank enters into a transaction that eliminates all
further legal or constructive obligation for part or all of the benefits
provided under a defined benefit plan.
Defined Contribution Plans
For defined contribution plans, annual pension expense is equal to the
Bank’s contributions to those plans.
INSurANCE
Premiums for short-duration insurance contracts, net of reinsurance,
primarily property and casualty, are deferred as unearned premiums and
reported in other income on a pro rata basis over the terms of the poli-
cies, except for contracts where the period of risk differs significantly
from the contract period. Unearned premiums are reported in other
liabilities, gross of premiums attributable to reinsurers. The reinsurers’
share is recognized as an asset in other assets. Premiums from life
and health insurance policies are recognized as income when due
from the policyholder.
102
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
For property and casualty insurance, insurance claims and policy
benefit liabilities represent current claims and estimates for future
insurance policy claims, as determined by the appointed actuary in
accordance with accepted actuarial practices and are reported as other
liabilities. Expected claims and policy benefit liabilities are determined
on a case-by-case basis as insurance claims are reported and actuarial
assumptions are reassessed. In addition to reported claims information,
the liabilities recognized by the Bank include a provision to account for
the future development of insurance claims, including insurance claims
incurred but not reported by policyholders (IBNR). IBNR liabilities are
evaluated based on historical development trends and actuarial
methodologies for groups of claims with similar attributes. For life
and health insurance, actuarial liabilities represent the present values
of future policy cash flows as determined using standard actuarial
valuation practices. Changes in actuarial liabilities are reported in
other income.
PrOVISIONS
Provisions are recognized when the Bank has a present obligation
(legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, the amount of which
can be reliably estimated, and it is probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation.
Provisions are measured based on management’s best estimate of
the consideration required to settle the obligation at the end of the
reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties
surrounding the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is
material, provisions are measured at the present value of the expendi-
ture expected to be required to settle the obligation, using a discount
rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in provi-
sions due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
INCOmE TAXES
Income tax is comprised of current and deferred tax. Income tax
is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income except to
the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity, in which case the related taxes are
also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity, respectively.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet and the amounts attributed to such assets and liabilities for tax
purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
the tax rates that are expected to apply when the assets or liabilities
are reported for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized only
when it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available in
future periods against which deductible temporary differences may be
utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized on temporary differ-
ences arising on investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates,
and interests in joint ventures if the Bank controls the timing of
the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the
temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The Bank records a provision for uncertain tax positions if it is prob-
able that the Bank will have to make a payment to tax authorities
upon their examination of a tax position. This provision is measured at
the Bank’s best estimate of the amount expected to be paid. Provisions
are reversed to income in the period in which management determines
they are no longer required or as determined by statute.

SIGNIfICANT ACCOuNTING JuDGmENTS, ESTImATES AND ASSumPTIONS
The estimates used in the Bank’s accounting policies are essential to
understanding its results of operations and financial condition. Some
of the Bank’s policies require subjective, complex judgments and esti-
mates 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 for determining
estimates are well controlled and occur in an appropriate and system-
atic manner.
ImPAIrmENT Of fINANCIAl ASSETS
Available-for-Sale Securities
Impairment losses are recognized on available-for-sale securities if, and
only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or
more events that have occurred (a ‘loss event’) and the loss event(s)
results in a decrease in the estimated cash flows of the instrument. The
Bank reviews these securities at least quarterly for the presence of
these conditions. This includes determining, as a matter of judgment,
whether a loss event has resulted in a decline in fair value below cost
that is significant or prolonged for available-for-sale equity securities,
and a deterioration of credit quality for available-for-sale debt securi-
ties. Other factors considered in the impairment assessment include
financial position and key financial indicators of the issuer of the
instrument, significant past and continued losses of the issuer, as well
as breaches of contract, including default or delinquency in interest
payments and loan covenant violations.
Loans
A loan (including a debt security classified as a loan) is considered
impaired when there is objective evidence that there has been a deterio-
ration of credit quality subsequent to the initial recognition of the loan
(a ‘loss event’) to the extent the Bank no longer has reasonable assur-
ance as to the timely collection of the full amount of principal and
interest. The Bank assesses loans for objective evidence of impairment
individually for loans that are individually significant, and collectively
for loans that are not individually significant. Allowance for credit
losses represent management’s best estimate of impairment incurred
in the lending portfolios, including any off-balance sheet exposures,
at the balance sheet date. Judgment is required as to the timing of
designating a loan as impaired and the amount of the allowance
required. Management exercises judgment as to the amount that will
be recovered once the borrower defaults. Changes in the amount that
management expects to recover would have a direct impact on the
provision for credit losses and may result in a change in the allowance
for credit losses.
If there is no objective evidence of impairment for an individual
loan, whether significant or not, the loan is included in a group of
assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed
for impairment for losses incurred but not identified. In calculating the
probable range of allowance for incurred but not identified credit
losses, the Bank employs internally developed models that utilize
parameters for probability of default, loss given default and exposure
at default. 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. Changes in these
assumptions would have a direct impact on the provision for incurred
but not identified credit losses and may result in a change in the
related allowance for credit losses.
fAIr VAluE mEASurEmENT
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets at the
balance sheet date is based on their quoted market prices. For all other
financial instruments not traded in an active market, 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. Observable market inputs may include interest rate yield curves,
foreign exchange rates, and option volatilities. Valuation techniques
include comparisons with similar instruments where observable market
prices exist, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models, and
other valuation techniques commonly used by market participants.
103
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results For certain complex or illiquid financial instruments, fair value is
determined using valuation techniques in which current market trans-
actions or observable market inputs are not available. Determining which
valuation technique to apply requires judgment. The valuation tech-
niques themselves also involve some level of estimation and judgment.
The judgments include liquidity considerations and model inputs such
as volatilities, correlation, spreads, discount rates, pre-payment rates,
and prices of underlying instruments. Any imprecision in these esti-
mates can affect the resulting fair value.
The inherent nature of private equity investing is that the Bank’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 significant depending on the
nature of the factors going into the valuation methodology and the
extent of change in those factors.
For certain types of equity instruments fair value is assumed to
approximate carrying value where the range of reasonable valuation
techniques is significant and the probabilities of such valuation
techniques cannot be reasonably assessed. In such instances fair value
may not be reliably measured due to the equity instruments unique
characteristics, including trading restrictions or that quoted market
prices for similar securities are not available.
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. If the market
for a complex financial instrument develops, the pricing for this
instrument may become more transparent, resulting in refinement
of valuation models.
An analysis of fair values of financial instruments and further details
as to how they are measured are provided in Note 5.
DErECOGNITION
Certain assets transferred as part of securitization transactions may
qualify for derecognition from the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.
To qualify for derecognition certain key determinations must be made.
A decision must be made as to whether the rights to receive cash
flows from the financial assets has been retained or transferred and
the extent to which the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial
asset has been retained or transferred. If the Bank neither transfers nor
retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset, a decision must be made as to whether the Bank has
retained control of the financial asset. Upon derecognition, the Bank
will record a gain or loss on sale of those assets which is calculated as
the difference between the carrying amount of the asset transferred
and the sum of any cash proceeds received, including any financial
asset received or financial liability assumed, and any cumulative gain
or loss allocated to the transferred asset that had been recognized in
other comprehensive income. In determining the fair value of any
financial asset received, the Bank 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 the Bank.
Retained interests are classified as trading securities and are initially
recognized at relative fair value on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance
Sheet. Subsequently, the fair value of retained interests recognized
by the Bank is determined by estimating the present value of future
expected cash flows using management’s best estimates of key
assumptions including credit losses, prepayment rates, forward yield
curves and discount rates, that are commensurate with the risks
involved. Differences between the actual cash flows and the Bank’s
estimate of future cash flows are recognized in income. These assump-
tions are subject to periodic review and may change due to significant
changes in the economic environment.
GOODWIll AND OTHEr INTANGIBlES
The fair value of the Bank’s CGUs is determined from internally devel-
oped 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 CGUs 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 relevant market information.
The carrying amounts of the Bank’s CGUs are determined by manage-
ment using risk based capital models (based on advanced approaches
under Basel III) to adjust net assets and liabilities by CGU. These
models consider various factors including market risk, credit risk and
operational risk, including investment capital (comprised of goodwill
and intangibles). Any unallocated capital not directly attributable to
the CGUs is held within the Corporate segment. The Bank’s capital
oversight committees provide oversight to the Bank’s capital
allocation methodologies.
EmPlOyEE BENEfITS
The projected benefit obligation and expense related to the Bank’s
pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit plans are determined
using multiple assumptions that may significantly influence the value
of these amounts. Actuarial assumptions including 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 annually with the Bank’s actuaries. The Bank develops each
assumption using relevant historical experience of the Bank in conjunc-
tion with market-related data and considers if the market-related data
indicates there is any prolonged or significant impact on the assump-
tions. The discount rate used to measure plan obligations is based on
long-term high quality corporate bond yields as at October 31. 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 uncer-
tainty. Differences between actual experience and the assumptions, as
well as changes in the assumptions resulting from changes in future
expectations, result in increases or decreases in the pension and
non-pension post-retirement benefit plans obligations and expenses
in future years.
INCOmE TAXES
The Bank is subject to taxation in numerous jurisdictions. There are
many transactions and calculations in the ordinary course of business
for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Bank main-
tains provisions for uncertain tax positions that it believes appropriately
reflect the risk of 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 Bank’s best
estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on an assessment
of all relevant factors, which are reviewed 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 relevant taxing authorities.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that
sufficient taxable profit will be available in future periods against
which deductible temporary differences may be utilized. The amount
of the deferred 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 decrease its
deferred tax assets to the amount that it believes can be realized. The
magnitude of the decrease 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 deferred tax assets.
104
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results PrOVISIONS
Provisions arise when there is some uncertainty in the timing or amount
of a loss in the future. Provisions are based on the Bank’s best estimate
of all expenditures required to settle its present obligations, considering
all relevant risks and uncertainties, as well as, when material, the effect
of the time value of money.
Many of the Bank’s provisions relate to various legal actions that the
Bank is involved in during the ordinary course of business. Legal provi-
sions require the involvement of both the Bank’s management and
legal counsel when assessing the probability of a loss and estimating
any monetary impact. Throughout the life of a provision, the Bank’s
management or legal counsel may learn of additional information that
may impact its assessments about the probability of loss or about the
estimates of amounts involved. Changes in these assessments may
lead to changes in the amount recorded for provisions. In addition,
the actual costs of resolving these claims may be substantially higher
or lower than the amounts recognized. The Bank reviews its legal
provisions on a case-by-case basis after considering, among other
factors, the progress of each case, the Bank’s experience, the experi-
ence of others in similar cases, and the opinions and views of
legal counsel.
INSurANCE
The assumptions used in establishing the Bank’s insurance claims and
policy benefit liabilities are based on best estimates of possible outcomes.
For property and casualty insurance, the ultimate cost to the Bank
will vary from the assumptions used to determine the liabilities recog-
nized, as additional information with respect to the facts and circum-
stance of each claim incurred is incorporated into the liability.
For life and health insurance, actuarial liabilities consider all future
policy cash flows, including premiums, claims, and expenses required
to administer the policies.
The Bank’s mortality assumptions have been derived from a combi-
nation of its own experience and industry experience. Policyholders
may allow their policies to lapse by choosing not to continue to pay
premiums. The Bank bases its estimates of future lapse rates on previ-
ous experience when available, or industry experience. Estimates of
future policy administration expenses are based on the Bank’s previous
and expected future experience.
CONSOlIDATION Of SPECIAl PurPOSE ENTITIES
Management judgment is required when assessing whether the Bank
should consolidate an entity, particularly complex entities. For exam-
ple, given that SPEs may not be controlled directly through holding the
majority of voting rights, management judgment is required to assess
whether all the relevant facts and circumstances, when considered
together, would indicate that the Bank controls such an SPE, including
an analysis of the Bank’s exposure to the risks and rewards of the SPE.
These judgments are discussed further in Note 2.

CurrENT AND fuTurE CHANGES IN ACCOuNTING POlICIES
CurrENT CHANGES IN ACCOuNTING POlICIES
The following amendments have been adopted by the Bank.
Disclosures – Transfer of Financial Assets
The amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (IFRS 7),
issued in October 2010, increase the disclosure requirements for trans-
actions involving transfers of financial assets. These amendments are
intended to provide greater transparency around risk exposures when
a financial asset is transferred but the transferor retains some level of
continuing involvement in the asset. The amendments also require
disclosures where transfers of financial assets do not occur evenly
throughout the period. The amendment is effective for annual periods
beginning on or after July 1, 2011 and comparative disclosures are not
required for any period beginning before that date. The amendments
to IFRS 7 have been adopted by the Bank as at October 31, 2012 on a
prospective basis.
fuTurE CHANGES IN ACCOuNTING POlICIES
The following standards have been issued, but are not yet effective on
the date of issuance of the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Bank is currently assessing the impact of the application of these
standards on the Consolidated Financial Statements and will adopt
these standards when they become effective.
Financial Instruments – Classification and Measurement
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9), reflects the first phase of the
IASB’s work on the replacement of the current IFRS financial instru-
ments standard (IAS 39) and applies to the classification and measure-
ment of financial assets and liabilities. The IASB decided in November
2011 to delay the mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 to annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2015, which will be November 1,
2015 for the Bank, and tentatively agreed to a limited reconsideration
of IFRS 9. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting IFRS
9, as well as any potential future amendments thereto.
Presentation and Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities
In December 2011, the IASB issued the following amendments related
to the offsetting of financial instruments:
• IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation (IAS 32), which clarifies
the existing requirements for offsetting financial assets and financial
liabilities; and
• IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures (IFRS 7), which provides
common disclosure requirements intended to help investors and
other users better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting
arrangements on a company’s financial position.
The IAS 32 amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2014, which will be November 1, 2014 for the
Bank. The IFRS 7 amendments are effective for annual periods begin-
ning on or after January 1, 2013, which will be November 1, 2013 for
the Bank. Both amendments are to be applied retrospectively. The IAS
32 amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the
financial position, cash flows or earnings of the Bank. The Bank is
currently assessing the impact of the IFRS 7 amendments.
Consolidation
The IASB issued the following new and amended guidance related to
consolidated financial statements:
• IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10), which replaces
IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and
SIC-12, Consolidation – Special-Purpose Entities;
• IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements;
• IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities; and
• IAS 27 (Revised 2011), Separate Financial Statements, which has
been amended for conforming changes on the basis of the issuance
of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11.
The standards and amendments resulted in a revised definition of
control that applies to all entities. Each of the above standards is effec-
tive for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, which
will be November 1, 2013 for the Bank. The adoption of the above
standards will require the Bank to re-assess its consolidation analyses
for all of its SPEs and its involvement with other third party entities and
will potentially result in additional disclosures. The Bank is currently
assessing the impact of adopting these standards.
Fair Value Measurement
IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (IFRS 13), provides guidance for
measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value
measurements. IFRS 13 applies to other IFRS standards that require
or permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value
measurements and sets out a framework on how to measure fair
105
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results value using the assumptions that market participants would use
when pricing the asset or liability under current market conditions,
including assumptions about risk. IFRS 13 is effective for quarterly and
annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, which will be
November 1, 2013 for the Bank, and is to be applied prospectively.
This new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
financial position, cash flows, or earnings of the Bank.
Employee Benefits
The amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits (IAS 19), issued in June
2011, eliminate the corridor approach for actuarial gains and losses,
requiring the Bank to recognize immediately all actuarial gains and
losses in other comprehensive income. Service costs, in addition to net
interest expenses or income, are calculated by applying the discount
rate to the net defined benefit surplus or deficit, and will be recorded
in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Plan amendment costs will
be recognized in the period of a plan amendment, irrespective of its
vested status. Furthermore, a termination benefit obligation will be
recognized when the Bank can no longer withdraw the offer of the
termination benefit or recognize related restructuring costs. The
amendments to IAS 19 are effective for annual periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2013, which will be November 1, 2013 for the
Bank, and are to be applied retrospectively. The Bank is currently
assessing the impact of the amendments to IAS 19.
Presentation of Other Comprehensive Income
The amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1),
issued in June 2011, require entities to group items presented in other
comprehensive income on the basis of whether they might be reclassi-
fied to the Consolidated Statement of Income in subsequent periods
and items that will not be reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of
Income. The amendments did not address which items are presented
in other comprehensive income and did not change the option to pres-
ent items net of tax. The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual
periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012, which will be November 1,
2012 for the Bank, and are to be applied retrospectively. These amend-
ments are not expected to have a material impact on the financial
position, cash flows, or earnings of the Bank.
NO T E 5
fAIr VAluE Of fINANCIAl INSTrumENTS
Certain financial instruments are carried on the balance sheet at their
fair value. These financial instruments include trading loans and securi-
ties, assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss,
instruments classified as available-for-sale, derivatives, certain deposits
classified as trading, securitization liabilities at fair value, and obliga-
tions related to securities sold short.
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.
mETHODS AND ASSumPTIONS
The Bank calculates fair values based on the following methods of
valuation and assumptions:
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 transac-
tion prices, broker quotes, or third-party vendor prices. Brokers or
third-party vendors may use a pool-specific valuation model to value
these securities. 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. Market 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 prepay-
ment 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 coun-
terparty 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.
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, such as for private equity securities, or there
is a wide bid-offer spread, fair value is determined based on quoted
market prices for similar securities or through valuation techniques,
including discounted cash flow analysis, and multiples of earnings
before taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and other relevant
valuation techniques.
If there are trading restrictions on the equity security held, a valua-
tion adjustment is recognized against available prices to reflect the
nature of the restriction. However, restrictions that are not part of the
security held and represent a separate contractual arrangement that
has been entered into by the Bank and a third party should not impact
the fair value of the original instrument.
Retained Interests
The methods and assumptions used to determine fair value of retained
interests are described in Note 3.
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. For
fixed-rate performing loans, estimated 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. For
floating rate performing loans, changes in interest rates have minimal
impact on fair value since loans reprice to market frequently. On that
basis, fair value is assumed to approximate carrying value. The fair
value of loans is not adjusted for the value of any credit protection
the Bank has purchased to mitigate credit risk.
At initial recognition, debt securities classified as loans do not
include securities with quoted prices in active markets. 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.
106
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results The fair value of loans carried at fair value through profit or loss,
which includes trading loans and loans designated at fair value
through profit or loss, 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, and corroborates this information using valuation techniques
or obtaining consensus or composite prices from pricing services.
Commodities
The fair value of physical commodities is based on quoted prices in
active markets, where available. The Bank also transacts in commodity
derivative contracts which can be traded on an exchange or in OTC
markets. The fair value determination of derivative financial instruments
is described below.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of exchange-traded derivative financial instruments is
based on quoted market prices. The fair value of OTC derivative financial
instruments is estimated using well established valuation techniques,
such as discounted cash flow techniques, the 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 recognized net of valuation
adjustments. 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, commodity spot and forward prices, recovery rates,
volatilities, spot prices, and correlation.
A credit risk valuation adjustment (CRVA) is recognized 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.
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. The fair value of non-trading derivatives is deter-
mined on the same basis as for trading derivatives.
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.
Securitization Liabilities
The fair value of securitization liabilities is based on quoted market
prices or quoted market prices for similar financial instruments, where
available. Where quoted prices are not available, fair value is determined
using valuation techniques, which maximize the use of observable
inputs, such as Canada Mortgage Bond prices.
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 determine
fair value would be the same as that of the relevant underlying equity
or debt securities.
Securities Purchased Under Reverse Repurchase
Agreements and Obligations Related to Securities Sold
under Repurchase Agreements
Commodities purchased or sold with an agreement to sell or repur-
chase them at a later date at a fixed price are carried at fair value on
the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of these agreements is
based on valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow models
which maximize the use of observable market inputs such as interest
rate swap curves and commodity forward prices.
Subordinated Notes and Debentures
The fair value 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 value for preferred share liabilities and capital trust
securities are based on quoted market prices of the same or similar
financial instruments.
107
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results The fair values in the following table exclude the value of assets that
are not financial instruments, such as land, buildings and equipment,
as well as goodwill and other intangible assets, including customer
relationships, which are of significant value to the Bank.

value of government and government-insured securities as at November 1, 2010
of $18 million.
Fair Value Hierarchy
IFRS requires disclosure of a three-level hierarchy 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, and certain securitization liabilities,
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. This category generally
includes Canadian and U.S. Government securities, Canadian and U.S.
agency mortgage-backed debt securities, corporate debt securities,
certain derivative contracts, certain securitization liabilities, 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 deter-
mined using valuation models, discounted cash flow methodologies,
or similar techniques. This category generally includes retained interests
in certain loan securitizations and certain derivative contracts.

of $5 million (October 31, 2011 – $3 million) are carried at cost because they do
not have quoted market prices in an active market and fair value cannot be

purposes only.
Significant transfers into and out of Level 3 reflected in the table
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, is now determined using
valuation techniques with significant non-observable inputs.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
The following table summarizes the potential effect of using reason-
ably possible alternative assumptions for financial assets and financial
liabilities held, as at October 31, 2012, October 31, 2011 and Novem-
ber 1, 2010, that are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
For interest rate derivatives, the Bank performed a sensitivity analysis
on the unobservable implied volatility. For credit derivatives, sensitivity
was calculated on unobservable credit spreads using assumptions
derived from the underlying bond position credit spreads. For equity
derivatives, the sensitivity is calculated by using reasonably possible
alternative assumptions by shocking dividends by 5%, correlation by
10%, or the price of the underlying equity instrument by 10% and
volatility from (13)% to 33%. For trading deposits the sensitivity is
calculated by varying unobservable inputs which may include volatility,
credit spreads, and correlation.

The best evidence of a financial instrument’s fair value at initial recog-
nition is its transaction price unless the fair value of the instrument
is evidenced by comparison with other observable current market
transactions in the same instrument (i.e., without modification or
repackaging) or based on a valuation technique whose variables
include only data from observable markets. Consequently, the differ-
ence between the fair value using other observable current market
transactions or a valuation technique and the transaction price results
in an unrealized gain or loss at initial recognition.
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 in the
valuation technique used to value the instruments become observable.
The following table summarizes the aggregate difference yet to be
recognized in net income due to the difference between the transac-
tion price and the amount determined using valuation techniques with
non-observable market inputs at initial recognition.

fINANCIAl ASSETS AND lIABIlITIES DESIGNATED
AT fAIr VAluE
Loans Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Certain business and government loans held within a trading portfolio
or economically hedged with derivatives are designated at fair value
through profit or loss if the criteria described in Note 2 are met. The
fair value of loans designated at fair value through profit or loss was
$13 million as at October 31, 2012 (October 31, 2011 – $14 million;
November 1, 2010 – $85 million), which represents their maximum
credit exposure.
These loans are managed within risk limits that have been approved
by the Bank’s risk management group and are hedged for credit risk
with credit derivatives.
As at October 31, 2012, the notional value of credit derivatives
used to mitigate the maximum exposure to credit risk on these loans
was $140 million (October 31, 2011 – $140 million; November 1, 2010
– $153 million) and fair value was $(15) million (October 31, 2011 –
$(11) million; November 1, 2010 – $(8) million). The Bank also uses
other instruments within this portfolio to hedge its total maximum
exposure to loss.
As at October 31, 2012, October 31, 2011, and November 1, 2010,
the cumulative change in fair value of these loans attributable to
changes in credit risk was $12 million, $9 million and nil, respectively,
calculated by determining the changes in credit spread implicit in the
fair value of the loans. As at the same dates, the cumulative change in
fair value of the credit derivatives hedging these loans used to mitigate
credit risk was $(15) million, $(11) million and $(8) million, respectively.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, income (loss) representing
net changes in the fair value of these loans due to changes in credit
risk of the loans was $5 million (October 31, 2011– $4 million). During
the same period, the net changes in fair value of the credit derivatives
hedging these loans which were used to mitigate credit risk were
$(12) million (October 31, 2011 – $(12) million).
Securities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
Certain securities that support insurance reserves within certain of
the Bank’s insurance subsidiaries have been designated at fair value
through profit or loss. The actuarial valuation of the insurance reserve
is measured using a discount factor which is based on the yield of the
supporting invested assets, with changes in the discount factor being
recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. By designating
the securities at fair value through profit or loss, the unrealized gain or
loss on the securities is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of
Income in the same period as a portion of the loss or income resulting
from changes to the discount rate used to value the insurance liabilities.
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 at
fair value through profit or loss. The derivatives are carried at fair value,
with the change in fair value recognized in non-interest income.
Securitization Liabilities at Fair Value
Securitization liabilities at fair value include securitization liabilities
classified as trading and those designated at fair value through profit
or loss. The fair value of a financial liability incorporates the credit risk
of that financial liability. The holders of the securitization liabilities are
not exposed to credit risk of the Bank and accordingly, changes in the
Bank’s own credit do not impact the determination of fair value.
The amount that the Bank would be contractually required to pay
at maturity for all securitization liabilities designated at fair value
through profit or loss was $445 million less than the carrying amount
as at October 31, 2012, $811 million as at October 31, 2011 and
$923 million as at November 1, 2010.
Other Liabilities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
The Bank issues certain loan commitments to customers to provide a
mortgage at a fixed rate. These commitments are economically hedged
with derivatives and other financial instruments where the changes in
fair value are recognized in non-interest income. The designation of
these loan commitments at fair value through profit or loss eliminates
an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. Due to the short
term nature of these loan commitments, changes in the Bank’s
own credit do not have a significant impact on the determination of
fair value.
Income (Loss) from Changes in Fair Value of Financial Assets and
Liabilities Designated at Fair Value through Profit or Loss
During the year ended October 31, 2012 the income (loss) represent-
ing net changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities
designated at fair value through profit or loss was $(5) million (2011 –
$(306) million).
NO T E 6
SECurITIES
rEClASSIfICATION Of CErTAIN DEBT SECurITIES –
TrADING TO AVAIlABlE-fOr-SAlE
During 2008, the Bank changed its trading strategy with respect to
certain debt securities as a result of deterioration in markets and
severe dislocation in the credit market. These debt securities were
initially recorded as trading securities measured at fair value with any
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 securities, the Bank reclassified these debt
securities from trading to available-for-sale effective August 1, 2008.
The fair value of the reclassified debt securities was $1,264 million
as at October 31, 2012 (October 31, 2011 – $1,986 million; November 1,
2010 – $4,228 million). For the year ended October 31, 2012, net
interest income of $90 million (October 31, 2011 – $183 million after
tax) was recorded relating to the reclassified debt securities. The
increase in fair value of these securities during the year ended
October 31, 2012 of $26 million after tax, (October 31, 2011 –
decrease of $186 million after tax) was recorded in other comprehen-
sive 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 increase in net income for the year ended October 31,
2012 of $26 million after tax (October 31, 2011 – decrease in net
income of $186 million after tax). During the year ended October 31,
2012, reclassified debt securities with a fair value of $789 million
(October 31, 2011 – $2,162 million) were sold or matured, and
$23 million after tax (October 31, 2011 – $69 million after tax) was
recorded in net gains from available-for-sale securities.

November 1, 2010 – $495 million). An allowance was not required for these
loans as the balance relates to loans that are insured or the realizable value of
the collateral exceeded the loan amount.
5 Includes Canadian government-insured real estate personal loans of $30,241 million
as at October 31, 2012 (October 31, 2011 – $32,767 million; November 1, 2010 –
$33,583 million).

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
Foreclosed assets are repossessed non-financial assets where the Bank
gains title, ownership or 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 $254 million as at October 31, 2012
(October 31, 2011 – $186 million, November 1, 2010 – $158 million).
The carrying value of loans renegotiated during the year ended
October 31, 2012, that would otherwise have been impaired, was
$124 million (October 31, 2011 – $82 million).

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 tables summarize loans that are past due but not
impaired as at October 31, 2012, October 31, 2011 and November 1,
2010. 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 $1.2 billion as
at October 31, 2012 (October 31, 2011 – $ 1.3 billion; November 1,
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 tables.

Collateral
As at October 31, 2012, the fair value of financial collateral held
against loans that were past due but not impaired was $167 million
(October 31, 2011 – $113 million, November 1, 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. Manage-
ment considers the nature of the collateral, seniority ranking of the
debt, and loan structure in assessing the value of 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.
Gross Impaired Debt Securities Classified as Loans
As at October 31, 2012, impaired loans excludes $1.5 billion
(October 31, 2011 – $1.6 billion; November 1, 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.

2 Management concluded as part of the Bank’s assessment of the ACI loans that it
was probable that higher than estimated principal credit losses would result in a
decrease in expected cash flows subsequent to acquisition. As a result, counter-
party-specific and individually insignificant allowances have been recognized.

NO T E 8
TrANSfErS Of fINANCIAl ASSETS
lOAN SECurITIZATIONS
The Bank securitizes residential mortgages, personal loans, and
business and government loans to SPEs or non-SPE third parties.
These securitizations may give rise to full or partial derecognition of
the financial assets depending on the individual arrangement of
each transaction.
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 (collectively referred to as ‘retained inter-
ests’). If a retained interest does not result in consolidation of the SPE,
nor in continued recognition of the transferred financial asset, these
retained interests are recorded at relative fair value and classified
as trading securities with subsequent changes in fair value recorded
in trading income.
Most loan securitizations do not qualify for derecognition since in
certain circumstances, the Bank continues to be exposed to substan-
tially all of the prepayment, interest rate and/or credit risk associated
with the securitized financial assets and has not transferred substan-
tially all of the risk and rewards of ownership of the securitized assets.
Where loans do not qualify for derecognition, the loan is not derecog-
nized from the balance sheet, retained interests are not recognized,
and a securitization liability is recognized for the cash proceeds
received. Certain transaction costs incurred are also capitalized and
amortized using the effective interest rate method.
In addition, the Bank transfers financial assets to certain consoli-
dated special purposes entities. Further details are provided in Note 9.

Other Financial Assets Not Qualifying for Derecognition
The Bank enters into certain transactions where it transfers previously
recognized financial assets, such as debt and equity securities, but
retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of those assets. These
transferred financial assets are not derecognized and the transfers are
accounted for as secured borrowing transactions. The most common
transactions of this nature are repurchase agreements and securities
lending agreements, in which the Bank retains substantially all of the
associated credit, price, interest rate, and foreign exchange risks and
rewards associated with the assets.
The following table summarizes the carrying amount of financial assets
and the associated transactions that did not qualify for derecognition,

Transferred financial assets that are derecognized in their
entirety but where the Bank has a continuing involvement
Continuing involvement may also arise if the Bank retains any contrac-
tual rights or obligations subsequent to the transfer of financial assets.
Certain business and government loans securitized by the Bank are
derecognized from the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. In instances
where the Bank fully derecognizes business and government loans,
the Bank may be exposed to the risks of transferred loans through a
retained interest. As at October 31, 2012, the fair value of retained
interests was $53 million. There are no expected credit losses on the
retained interests of the securitized business and government loans
as the mortgages are all government insured. A gain or loss on sale of
the loans is recognized immediately in other income after considering
the effect of hedge accounting on the assets sold, if applicable. The
amount of the gain or loss recognized depends on the previous carry-
ing values of the loans involved in the transfer, allocated between
the assets sold and the retained interests based on their relative fair
values at the date of transfer. The gain on sale of the loans for the
year ended October 31, 2012 was $1 million. Retained interests are
classified as trading securities and are subsequently carried at fair
value with the changes in fair value recorded in trading income. For
the year ended October 31, 2012, the trading income recognized
on the retained interest was $2 million.

SPECIAl PurPOSE ENTITIES
SIGNIfICANT CONSOlIDATED SPECIAl PurPOSE ENTITIES
A special purpose entity (SPE) is an entity that is created to accomplish
a narrow and well-defined objective. SPEs are consolidated when the
substance of the relationship between the Bank and the SPE indicates
that the SPE is controlled by the Bank. The Bank’s interests in consoli-
dated SPEs are discussed as follows:
restricted from accessing the SPE’s assets under the relevant
arrangements. The Bank’s maximum potential exposure to loss was
$10.5 billion as at October 31, 2012 (October 31, 2011 – $7.4 billion;
November 1, 2010 – $2.2 billion). The fair value of the loans and
associated liabilities is $12.8 billion and $10.3 billion, respectively, as
at October 31, 2012.
Personal Loans
The Bank securitizes personal loans through consolidated SPEs to
enhance its liquidity position, to diversify its sources of funding and
to optimize management of its balance sheet. Where the SPEs are
created primarily for the Bank’s benefit and the Bank is exposed to the
majority of the residual risks of the SPEs, consolidation is required.
As at October 31, 2012, the SPEs related to personal loans had
$5.1 billion (October 31, 2011 – $5.1 billion; November 1, 2010 –
$5.1billion) of issued commercial paper outstanding and $0.3 billion
(October 31, 2011 – $1.8 billion; November 1, 2010 – nil) of issued
notes outstanding. As at October 31, 2012, the Bank’s maximum
potential exposure to loss for these conduits was $5.5 billion
(October 31, 2011 – $7.2 billion; November 1, 2010 – $5.1 billion)
of which $1.1 billion (October 31, 2011 – $1.1 billion; November 1,
2010 – $1.1 billion) of underlying personal loans was government
insured. The Bank is restricted from accessing the SPE’s assets
under the relevant arrangements. The fair value of the loans and
associated liabilities is $5.5 billion and $5.4 billion respectively as at
October 31, 2012.
Credit Cards
The Bank securitizes credit card loans through an SPE. Through the
acquisition of substantially all of the credit card portfolio of MBNA,
the Bank has consolidated the SPE as it serves as a financing vehicle
for the Bank’s assets and the Bank is exposed to the majority of the
residual risks of the SPE. As at October 31, 2012, the Bank’s maximum
exposure to loss for this SPE was $1.3 billion. Prior to December 1,
2011, the Bank did not consolidate this SPE. The Bank is restricted
from accessing the SPE’s assets under the relevant arrangements.
The fair value of the loans and associated liabilities is $1.3 billion and
$1.3 billion respectively as at October 31, 2012.
Other Significant Consolidated SPEs
The Bank consolidates two other significant SPEs as they were created
primarily for the Bank’s benefit and the Bank is exposed to the majority
of the residual risks of the SPEs. One of the SPEs is funded by the Bank
and purchases senior tranches of securitized assets and loan portfolios
from the Bank’s existing customers. As at October 31, 2012, the SPE
had $42 million (October 31, 2011 – $88 million; November 1, 2010 –
$598 million) of assets, which included credit card loans, automobile
loans and leases, and equipment loans and leases. The Bank is not
restricted from accessing the SPE’s assets to the extent of its entitle-
ment under arrangements with the sellers. The Bank’s maximum
potential exposure to loss as at October 31, 2012 was $42 million
(October 31, 2011 – $88 million; November 1, 2010 – $598 million).
The second SPE was created to guarantee principal and interest
payments in respect of covered bonds issued by the Bank. The Bank
sold assets to the SPE and provided a loan to the SPE to facilitate
the purchase. As at October 31, 2012, this SPE had $11.7 billion
(October 31, 2011 – $14.1 billion; November 1, 2010 – $9.5 billion)
of assets which are reported as consumer instalment and other
personal loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Bank is
SIGNIfICANT NON-CONSOlIDATED SPECIAl PurPOSE ENTITIES
The Bank holds interests in certain significant non-consolidated SPEs
where the Bank is not exposed to the majority of the residual risks
of the SPEs. The Bank’s interests in these non-consolidated SPEs are
as follows:
Multi-Seller Conduits
Multi-seller conduits (also referred to as customer securitization vehicles)
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 secu-
rities 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 commercial 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). These preconditions
are in place so that the Bank does not provide credit enhancement via
the loan facilities to the trust.
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, 2012 and 2011, no amounts of ABCP were purchased
pursuant to liquidity agreements. The Bank maintained inventory posi-
tions of ABCP issued by multi-seller conduits as part of its market-
making activities in ABCP. As at October 31, 2012, October 31, 2011
and November 1, 2010, the Bank held $128 million, $790 million
and $243 million of ABCP inventory, respectively, out of $7.5 billion,
$5.5 billion and $5.3 billion total outstanding ABCP issued by the
conduits as at the same dates. The commercial paper held is classified
as trading securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Bank
earns fees from the conduits which are recognized when earned. The
Bank monitors its ABCP inventory positions as part of the on-going
consolidation assessment process. The inventory positions did not
cause any change in consolidation conclusions during the year ended
October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011.
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 $7.5 billion as at October 31, 2012
(October 31, 2011 – $5.5 billion; November 1, 2010 – $5.3 billion).
Further, the Bank has committed to an additional $2.2 billion (October
31, 2011 – $2.1 billion; November 1, 2010 – $1.8 billion) in liquidity
facilities for ABCP that could potentially be issued by the conduits. As
at October 31, 2012, the Bank also provided no deal-specific credit
enhancement (October 31, 2011 – $17 million; November 1, 2010 –
$73 million).

DErIVATIVES
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 trans-
acted 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. Certain interest
rate swaps are transacted and settled through a clearing house which
acts as a central counterparty.
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 foreign currency open positions.
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.
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 in 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.
128
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results 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.
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.

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
counterparty 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 transactions that create credit exposure. This includes evaluating
the creditworthiness of counterparties, and managing the size, diversi-
fication 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 mitiga-
tion techniques. Master netting agreements reduce risk to the Bank by
allowing the Bank to close out and net transactions with counterpar-
ties 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 derivative
credit exposure. The credit equivalent amount is the sum of the current
replacement cost and the potential future exposure, which is calcu-
lated by applying factors supplied by OSFI to the notional principal
amount of the derivatives. The risk-weighted amount is determined by
applying standard measures of counterparty credit risk to the credit
equivalent amount.

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, 2012, the aggregate net liability
position of those contracts would require: (i) the posting of collateral
or other acceptable remedy totalling $45 million (October 31, 2011 –
$57 million) in the event of a one-notch or two-notch downgrade in
the Bank’s senior debt ratings; and (ii) funding totalling $6 million
(October 31, 2011 – $2 million) following the termination and settle-
ment of outstanding derivative contracts in the event of a one-notch
or two-notch downgrade in the Bank’s senior debt ratings.
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, 2012 the fair value of all derivative instruments with
credit risk related contingent features in a net liability position was
$14.3 billion (October 31, 2011 – $12.9 billion). The Bank has posted
$11.8 billion (October 31, 2011 – $10.3 billion) of collateral for this
exposure in the normal course of business. As at October 31, 2012,
the impact of a one-notch downgrade in the Bank’s senior debt ratings
would require the Bank to post an additional $0.6 billion (October 31,
2011 – $0.5 billion) of collateral to that posted in the normal course
of business. A two-notch downgrade in the Bank’s senior debt ratings
would require the Bank to post an additional $1.4 billion (October 31,
2011 – $1.6 billion) of collateral to that posted in the normal course
of business.

On December 1, 2011, the Bank acquired 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 for
cash consideration of $6,839 million.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under
the purchase method. The results of the acquisition from the acquisi-
tion date to October 31, 2012, have been consolidated with the Bank’s
results and are primarily reported in the Canadian Personal and
Commercial Banking and Wealth and Insurance segments.
The total amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for
tax purposes is nil. During the period from the acquisition date to
October 31, 2012, goodwill decreased by $27 million to $93 million
due to the refinement of various fair value marks.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the acquisition contributed
$811 million to revenue and $(15) million to net income.
The following table presents the estimated fair values of the assets
and liabilities acquired as of the date of acquisition.

(b) 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 $6,307 million, including contingent consideration.
The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method. 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. Contingent consideration is recog-
nized immediately in the purchase price equation at fair value and
marked to market as amounts on the assets are realized in the Consoli-
dated Statement of Income. Contingent consideration of $52 million
was recognized as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisi-
tion, the amounts realized on these assets exceeded the threshold
and the Bank was required to pay additional cash consideration of
$53 million, which was included in the Consolidated Statement of
Income. The results of Chrysler Financial from the acquisition date
to October 31, 2012 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.
Subsequent to the acquisition date, goodwill increased by $45 million
to $197 million, primarily due to the finalization of the fair values
in the purchase price equation. The total amount of goodwill that is
expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $275 million.
For the year ended October 31, 2012, the acquisition contributed
$464 million (October 31, 2011 – $273 million) to revenue and
$67 million (October 31, 2011 – $13 million) to net income.

and liabilities of Chrysler Financial as of the date of acquisition.

(c) 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 (American-
First) 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 AmericanFirst) 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 outstanding
common shares of The South Financial Group, Inc. (South Financial) for
total consideration to common shareholders of approximately $64 million
paid in cash and common shares in the amount of $11 million 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 consider-
ation of approximately $134 million.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
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, 2012, 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 $2,198 million of net cash and cash equiv-
alents, $8,471 million of loans, $115 million of identifiable intangibles,
$3,994 million of other assets, $12,298 million of deposits and
$2,535 million of other liabilities to the Bank’s Consolidated Balance
Sheet. Included in loans is $2,127 million of covered loans. The
estimated fair value for loans reflects the expected credit losses at
the acquisition date.
Subsequent to the acquisition date, goodwill decreased by
$140 million to $257 million, primarily due to the completion of
the valuation of the loan portfolio.

GOODWIll AND OTHEr INTANGIBlES
The fair value of the Bank’s CGUs is determined from internally devel-
oped 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 CGUs 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 relevant market information. The
carrying amounts of the Bank’s CGUs are determined by management
using risk based capital models (based on advanced approaches under
Basel III) to adjust net assets and liabilities by CGU. These models
consider various factors including market risk, credit risk and opera-
tional risk, including investment capital (comprised of goodwill and
intangibles). Any unallocated capital not directly attributable to the
CGUs is held within the Corporate segment. As at the date of the last
impairment test, the amount of unallocated capital was $4.3 billion
and primarily related to available-for-sale securities and interest rate
swaps managed within the Corporate segment. The Bank’s capital
oversight committees provide oversight to the Bank’s capital
allocation methodologies.
Key Assumptions
The recoverable amount of each group of CGUs has been determined
based on its value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated
future cash flows based on the Bank’s internal forecast are discounted
using an appropriate pre-tax discount rate.
The following were the key assumptions applied in the goodwill
impairment testing:
Discount Rate
The pre-tax discount rates used reflect current market assessment of
the risks specific to each group of CGUs and is dependent on the risk
profile and capital requirements of the group of CGUs.
Terminal Multiple
The earnings included in the goodwill impairment testing for each
operating segment were based on the Bank’s internal forecast, which
projects expected cash flows over the next four years. The pre-tax
terminal multiple for the period after the Bank’s internal forecast was
derived from the observable terminal multiples of comparable financial
institutions and ranged from 9x to 14x.
In considering the sensitivity of the key assumptions discussed
above, management determined that there is no reasonable possible
change in any of the above that would result in the carrying amount
of any of the groups of CGUs to exceed its recoverable amount.

The Bank did not have a normal course issuer bid outstanding during
fiscal 2012 or 2011.
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 divi-
dend 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 11.9 million common shares were issued from the Bank’s
treasury at a discount of 1% (2011 – 8.6 million shares at a discount
of 1%) under the dividend reinvestment 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 dividends 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 SF Trust I,
SF Trust II or SF Trust III fails to pay quarterly distributions or interest
in full to holders of their respective trust securities. Further, in the case
of SF Trust II and SF Trust III, all subsidiaries of TD Bank US Holding
Company would be restricted from paying dividends in such an event.

INSurANCE
INSurANCE rISK
Insurance risk is the risk of financial loss due to actual experience
emerging differently from expectations in insurance product pricing
or reserving. Unfavourable experience could emerge due to adverse
fluctuations in timing, actual size and/or frequency of claims (e.g.,
catastrophic risk), mortality, morbidity, longevity, policyholder
behaviour, or associated expenses.
Insurance contracts provide financial protection by transferring
insured risks to the issuer in exchange for premiums. We are exposed
to insurance risk in our property and casualty insurance business, life
and health insurance business and reinsurance business.
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 directors,
as well as independent appointed actuaries who provide additional
risk management oversight.
The Bank’s risk governance practices ensure strong independent
oversight and control of risk within the insurance business. The Risk
Committee for the Insurance business provides critical oversight of the
risk management activities within the business. The insurance risk
management framework is maintained by Risk Management and
supports alignment with the Bank’s Risk Appetite for insurance risk.
The Insurance Risk Management Framework outlines the internal risk
and control structure to manage insurance risk and includes risk appe-
tite, policies, processes as well as limits and governance.
The assessment of reserves for claim liabilities is central to the insur-
ance operation. TD engages in establishing reserves to cover estimated
future payments (including loss adjustment expenses) on all claims
arising from insurance contracts underwritten. The reserves cannot be
established with complete certainty, and represent management’s
best estimate for future claim payments. As such, TD regularly moni-
tors liability estimates against claims experience and adjusts reserves
as appropriate if experience emerges differently than anticipated.
Claims liabilities are calculated in accordance with the Bank’s insurance
accounting policy. See Note 2 to the Bank’s Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details.
Sound product design is an essential element of managing risk. The
Bank’s exposure to insurance risk is generally short term in nature as
the principal underwriting risk relates to automobile and home insur-
ance for individuals.
Insurance market cycles as well as changes in automobile insurance
legislation, the judicial environment, trends in court awards, climate
patterns and the economic environment may impact the performance
of the insurance business. Consistent pricing policies and underwriting
standards are maintained and compliance with such policies is moni-
tored by the Risk Committee for the Insurance business.
Automobile insurance is provincially legislated and as such, policy-
holder benefits may differ between provinces. There is also exposure
to geographic concentration risk associated with personal property
coverage. Exposure to insurance risk concentrations is managed
through established underwriting guidelines, limits, and authorization
levels that govern the acceptance of risk. Concentration risk is also
mitigated through the purchase of reinsurance. Strategies are in place
to manage the risk to our reinsurance business. Underwriting risk on
business assumed is managed through a policy that limits exposure to
certain types of business and countries. The vast majority of treaties
are annually renewable, which minimizes long term risk. Pandemic
exposure is reviewed and estimated annually.
OTHEr rElATED rISKS
Credit risk is managed through a counterparty credit policy. To mini-
mize interest rate and liquidity risks, investments supporting the net
provision for unpaid claims are matched in interest rate exposure.

rECONCIlIATION Of CHANGES IN lIABIlITIES fOr PrOPErTy
AND CASuAlTy INSurANCE
For property and casualty insurance, the recognized liabilities are
comprised of a provision for unpaid claims (see section (a) below) and
unearned premiums (see section (b) below). The provision for unpaid
claims is established to reflect the estimate of the full amount of
all liabilities associated with the insurance premiums earned at the
balance sheet date, including insurance claims incurred but not
recorded (IBNR). The ultimate amount of these liabilities will vary from
the best estimate made for a variety of reasons, including additional
information with respect to the facts and circumstances of the insur-
ance claims incurred. The unearned premiums represent the portion
of net written premiums that pertain to the unexpired term of the
policies in force.

SENSITIVITy TO INSurANCE rISK
A variety of assumptions are made related to future level of claims,
policyholder behaviour, expenses and sales levels when products are
designed and priced as well as the determination of actuarial liabilities.
Such assumptions require a significant amount of professional judgment.
The insurance claims provision is sensitive to certain assumptions. It has
not been possible to quantify the sensitivity of certain assumptions such
as legislative changes or uncertainty in the estimation process. Actual
experience may be different than the assumptions made by the Bank.
For property and casualty insurance, the main assumption
underlying the claims liability estimates is that the Bank’s future
claims development will follow a similar pattern to past claims
development experience.
Claims liabilities estimates are also based on various quantitative
and qualitative factors, including discount rate, margin for adverse
deviation, reinsurance, average claims costs including claims handling
costs, average claims by accident year, and trends in claims severity
and frequency and other factors such as inflation, expected or in
force government pricing and coverage reforms and the level of
insurance fraud.
147
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
Most of the qualitative factors are not directly quantifiable, particu-
larly on a prospective basis, and the effects of these and unforeseen
factors could negatively impact the Bank’s ability to accurately assess
the risk of the insurance policies that the Bank underwrites. In addition,
there may be significant lags between the occurrence of an insured
event and the time it is actually reported to the Bank and additional
lags between the time of reporting and final settlements of claims.
The claims liabilities’ sensitivity to the discount rate assumption is
outlined below. The analysis is performed for possible movements in
the discount rate with all other assumptions held constant, showing
the impact on the consolidated net income before income tax, and
the impact on equity in the property and casualty insurance business.
Movements in the assumption may be non-linear.

A 1% increase in the margin for adverse deviation assumption as at
October 31, 2012 will decrease net income before tax and equity by
$25 million and $18 million, respectively. A 1% decrease in the margin
for adverse deviation will increase income before tax and equity by the
same amounts.
For life and health insurance, critical assumptions used in the
measurement of insurance contract liabilities are determined by the
Appointed Actuary. The processes used to determine critical assump-
tions are as follows:
• Mortality, morbidity and lapse assumptions are based on industry
and historical company data.
• Expense assumptions are based on an annually updated expense
study that is used to determine expected expenses for future years.
• Asset reinvestment rates are based on projected earned rates,
and liabilities are calculated using the Canadian Asset Liability
Method (CALM).
A sensitivity analysis for possible movements in the life and health
insurance business assumptions was performed and the impact is not
significant to the Consolidated Statement of Income.
CONCENTrATION Of INSurANCE rISK
Concentration risk is the risk resulting from large exposure to similar
risks that are positively correlated.
Risk associated with automobile, residential and other products may
vary in relation to the geographical area of the risk insured. Exposure
to concentrations of insurance risk, in terms of type of risk is mitigated
by careful selection and implementation of underwriting strategies,
which is in turn largely achieved through diversification by line of busi-
ness and geographical areas. For automobile insurance, legislation is in
place at a provincial level and this creates differences in the benefits
provided among the provinces.
As at October 31, 2012, for the property and casualty’s insurance
business, 73.2% of net written premiums were derived from automo-
bile policies (October 31, 2011 – 72.8%) followed by residential with
26.5% (October 31, 2011 – 26.9%). The distribution by provinces
show that business is mostly concentrated in Ontario with 62.1% of
net written premiums (October 31, 2011 – 61.7%). The Western prov-
inces represented 25.4% (October 31, 2011 – 24.8%) followed by
Quebec, 7.5% (October 31, 2011 – 8.3%) and the Atlantic provinces
with 5.0% (October 31, 2011 – 5.2%).
Concentration risk is not a major concern for life and health insur-
ance as it does not have a material level of regional specific character-
istics like those exhibited in property and casualty insurance.
Reinsurance is used to limit the liability on a single claim. While the
maximum claim could be $1.2 million, the majority of claims are less
than $250 thousand. Concentration risk is further limited by diversifi-
cation across uncorrelated risks. This limits the impact of a regional
pandemic and other concentration risks. To improve understanding of
exposure to this risk, a pandemic scenario is tested annually.

SHArE-BASED COmPENSATION
The Bank operates various share-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
recognized 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
contributed 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, 15.6 million common shares have
been reserved for future issuance (October 31, 2011 – 2.3 million;
November 1, 2010 – 4.0 million). The outstanding options expire
on various dates to December 12, 2021. A summary of the Bank’s
stock option activity and related information for the years ended
October 31 is as follows:

For fiscal 2012, the Bank recognized compensation expense for stock
option awards of $22.1 million (2011 – $28.3 million). During 2012,
1.9 million (2011 – 1.7 million) options were granted by the Bank at
a weighted-average fair value of $14.52 per option (2011 – $15.47
per option).

OTHEr SHArE-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 incen-
tive 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 performance 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.
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, 2012 was 14 million (2011 – 14 million).
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, 2012,
3.4 million deferred share units were outstanding (October 31, 2011 –
3.0 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,
2012, the Bank recognized compensation expense, net of the effects
of hedges, for these plans of $326 million (2011 – $293 million). The
compensation expense recognized before the effects of hedges was
$429 million (2011 – $353 million). The carrying amount of the liability
relating to these plans at October 31, 2012 was $1.3 billion (October 31,
2011 – $1.2 billion; November 1, 2010 – $1.0 billion) and is reported
in other liabilities. The carrying amount is based on the closing
share price.
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, 2012, the Bank’s contributions totalled
$61 million (2011 – $59 million) and were expensed as salaries
and employee benefits. As at October 31, 2012, an aggregate of
9.5 million common shares were held under the Employee Ownership
Plan (October 31, 2011 – 9.0 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 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 addi-
tion, the Bank maintains other partially funded and non-funded
pension plans for eligible employees. 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 consecutive 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
2012 were $293 million (2011 – $189 million). The 2012 contributions
were made in accordance with the actuarial valuation reports for
funding purposes as at October 31, 2011 for both of the principal
pension plans. The 2011 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, 2012
and October 31, 2014 for the Society and the TDPP, respectively.
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 and dental benefits. 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 benefits.
Pension and non-pension post-retirement benefit expenses are deter-
mined 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 obligations, expected
income on plan assets based on fair values and the amortization of
benefit plan amendments, actuarial gains or losses and any curtail-
ments. Plan amendments are amortized on a straight-line basis over
the average vesting period of the benefits granted (5 years for the
principal non-pension post-retirement benefit plan). If the benefits
granted vest immediately (Society and TDPP), the full plan amendment
is recognized immediately. 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 amortized over the expected average
remaining service life of the active members (12 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.
INVESTmENT STrATEGy AND ASSET AllOCATION
The primary objective of the Society and the TDPP is to achieve an
annualized real rate of return of 3.00% and 2.50%, respectively,
over rolling 10-year periods. The investment policies for the principal
pension plans are detailed below and exclude Pension Enhancement
Account (PEA) assets which are invested at the member’s discretion
in certain mutual funds. The investment policies and asset allocations
as at October 31 by asset category for the principal pension plans
(excluding PEA) are as follows:

The objective of the investment policy of the Society is a balanced
portfolio. The acceptable range has changed since 2011 with the strat-
egy to reduce the allocation to equity instruments under the investment
policy over time. Debt instruments of a single non-government entity
must not exceed 10% of the bond mandate. 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 10% 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. Also, debt instruments of non-government entities must
not exceed 80% of the bond mandate and non-Canadian government
entities must not exceed 20% of the bond mandate. Debt instruments
of a single non-government or non-Canadian government entity must
not exceed 10% of the bond mandate. Any debt instruments that are
rated from BBB+ to BBB- (or equivalent) must not exceed 25% of the
bond mandate and any debt instruments that are rated below BBB-
must not exceed 10% of the bond mandate. Asset backed securities
must have a minimum credit rating of AAA and must not exceed 25%
of the bond mandate. 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 are also
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 2012, the Society’s
net assets included private equity investments in the Bank and its
affiliates which had a fair value of $1 million (2011 – $3 million).

The objective of the investment policy of the TDPP, which commenced
on March 1, 2009, is a balanced portfolio. Debt instruments of non-
government entities must not exceed 80% of the bond mandate and
non-Canadian government entities must not exceed 20% of the bond
mandate. Debt instruments of a single non-government or non-Canadian
government entity must not exceed 10% of the bond mandate. Any
debt instruments that are rated from BBB+ to BBB- (or equivalent)
must not exceed 25% of the bond mandate and any debt instruments
that are rated below BBB- must not exceed 10% of the bond mandate.
Asset backed securities must have a minimum credit rating of AAA and

minable 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
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. Effective
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. Funding for the defined benefit portion
is provided by contributions from the Bank and members of the plan.
For the defined contribution portion, the annual pension expense is
equal to the Bank’s contributions to that portion of the plan.
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. The wind-up was completed on May 31, 2012.
TD Bank, N.A. Retirement Plans
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 annual core contributions from TD Bank, N.A.
for all employees and a transition contribution for certain employees.
The core and transition contributions to the plan for fiscal 2012 were
$41 million (2011 – $34 million). In addition, on an ongoing basis,
TD Bank, N.A., makes matching contributions to the 401(k) plan. The
amount of the matching contribution for fiscal 2012 was $37 million
(2011 – $29 million). Annual pension expense is equal to the Bank’s
contributions to the plan.
In addition, TD Bank, N.A. has a closed non-contributory defined
benefit retirement plan covering certain legacy TD Banknorth employ-
ees. Supplemental retirement plans covering 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.
TD Auto Finance (legacy 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. These defined benefit retirement plans were frozen as
of April 1, 2012. In addition, TD Auto Finance provides limited post-
retirement benefit programs, including medical coverage and life
insurance benefits to certain employees who meet minimum age and
service requirements.
Supplemental Employee Retirement Plans
Supplemental employee retirement plans are partially funded by the
Bank for eligible employees.

not considered material for disclosure purposes. The TD Banknorth defined benefit
pension plan was frozen as of December 31, 2008 and no service credits can
be earned after that date. Certain TD Auto Finance defined benefit pension
plans were frozen as of April 1, 2012 and no service credits can be earned after
March 31, 2012.

4 Certain TD Auto Finance retirement plans were curtailed during the period.
5 The actual return on plan assets for the principal pension plans was $273 million

of 5.75% (2011 – 6.50%) for the Society and 5.25% (2011 – 4.00%) for the TDPP.
6 As at November 1, 2010, the excess (deficit) of plan assets over projected benefit
obligation was $182 million for the principal pension plans, $(419) million for
the principal non-pension post-retirement benefit plan, and $(413) million for the
other pension and retirement plans.
(credits) were nil for the principal pension plans, $(33) million for the principal
non-pension post-retirement benefit plan, and nil for the other pension and
retirement plans.
9 As at November 1, 2010, the prepaid pension asset (accrued benefit liability) was
$182 million for the principal pension plans, $(452) million for the principal non-
pension post-retirement benefit plan, and $(413) million for the other pension
and retirement plans.
10 As at November 1, 2010, the weighted-average discount rate used to determine
the projected benefit obligation was 5.71% for the principal pension plans, 5.60%
for the principal non-pension post-retirement benefit plan, and 5.27% for the
other pension and retirement plans.
11 As at November 1, 2010, the weighted-average rate of compensation increases
used to determine the projected benefit obligation was 3.50% for the principal
pension plans, 3.50% for the principal non-pension post-retirement benefit plan,
and 2.21% for the other pension and retirement plans.

In 2013, the Bank expects to contribute $304 million to its principal
pension plans, $17 million to its principal non-pension post-retirement
benefit plan, and $17 million to its other pension and retirement plans.
Future contribution amounts may change upon the Bank’s review of its
contribution levels during the year.
Assumptions relating to future mortality to determine the defined
benefit obligation and net benefit cost for the principal defined benefit
pension plans are as follows:
Assumed life Expectancy at Age 65
(number of years)
Male aged 65 at measurement date
Female aged 65 at measurement date

plans to the discount rate, the expected long-term return on plan
assets and the rates of compensation, as well as the sensitivity of
the Bank’s principal non-pension post-retirement benefit plan to the
health care cost initial trend rate assumption. For each sensitivity test,
the impact of a reasonably possible change in a single factor is shown
with other assumptions left unchanged.

Certain taxable temporary differences associated with the Bank’s
investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates, and interests
in joint ventures did not result in the recognition of deferred tax
liabilities as at October 31, 2012. The total amount of these temporary
differences was $26 billion (October 31, 2011 – $21 billion;

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), Wealth and Insurance, U.S.
Personal and Commercial Banking (U.S. P&C), and Wholesale Banking.
The Bank’s other activities are grouped into the Corporate segment.
The results of TD Auto Finance Canada are reported in CAD P&C. The
results of TD Auto Finance U.S. are reported in U.S. P&C. Integration
charges, direct transaction costs, and changes in fair value of contingent
consideration relating to the Chrysler Financial acquisition are reported
in the Corporate segment.
Effective December 1, 2011, the results of MBNA Canada are reported
primarily in the CAD P&C and Wealth and Insurance segments. Inte-
gration charges and direct transaction costs relating to the acquisition
of the MBNA Canada credit card portfolio are reported in the CAD
P&C segment.
Executive responsibilities for the TD Insurance business were moved
from Group Head, Canadian Banking, Auto Finance, and Credit Cards,
to the Group Head, Wealth and Insurance and Corporate Shared
Services. Accordingly, effective November 1, 2011, the results of the
TD Insurance business were transferred from CAD P&C to Wealth
and Insurance. The prior period results have been restated retroactively
to 2011.
CAD P&C comprises the Bank’s personal and business banking in
Canada and provides financial products and services to personal, small
business, and commercial customers. Wealth and Insurance provides
insurance, 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-Atlan-
tic 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, collective provision for credit losses
in CAD P&C and Wholesale Banking, elimination of taxable equivalent
adjustments and other management reclassifications, corporate level
tax items, and residual unallocated revenue and expenses.
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 approximates 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 intangibles acquired as a
result of business combinations is included in the Corporate segment.
Accordingly, net income for business segments is presented before
amortization of these 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.
The Bank purchases CDS to hedge the credit risk in Wholesale Bank-
ing’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 asym-
metry 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
156
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
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 6, 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 reclassification 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.

ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011.

For reporting of geographic results, segments are grouped into
Canada, United States and International. Transactions are primarily
recorded in the location responsible for recording the revenue or
assets. This location frequently corresponds with the location of the
legal entity through which the business is conducted and the location
of the customer.

TrANSACTIONS WITH SuBSIDIArIES, TD AmErITrADE
AND SymCOr INC.
Transactions between the Bank and its subsidiaries meet the definition
of related party transactions. If these transactions are eliminated on
consolidation, they are not disclosed as related party transactions.

qualify as related party transactions. Other than as described below,
during fiscal 2012, there were no significant transactions between
the Bank, TD Ameritrade and Symcor.
Other Transactions with TD Ameritrade and Symcor Inc.
(i) TD AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION
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 $834 million in 2012 (2011 – $762 million) to TD
Ameritrade for the deposit accounts. The fee paid by the Bank is based
on the average insured deposit balance of $60.3 billion in 2012 (2011
– $49.3 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, 2012, amounts receivable from TD Ameritrade
were $129 million (October 31, 2011 – $97 million, November 1,
2010 – $53 million). As at October 31, 2012, amounts payable to
TD Ameritrade were $87 million (October 31, 2011 – $84 million,
November 1, 2010 – $82 million).
(ii) TRANSACTIONS WITH SYMCOR INC.
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 $128 million (2011 – $139 million) for these
services. As at October 31, 2012, the amount payable to Symcor was
$10 million (October 31, 2011 – $12 million, November 1, 2010 –
$12 million).
The Bank and two other shareholder banks have also provided a
$100 million unsecured loan facility to Symcor which was undrawn as
at October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011.

lITIGATION
The Bank and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal actions in the
ordinary course of business. Legal provisions are established when it
becomes probable that the Bank will incur an expense and the amount
can be reliably estimated. The Bank may incur losses in addition to the
amounts recorded when the loss is greater than estimated by manage-
ment, or for matters when an unfavourable outcome is reasonably
possible. The Bank considers losses to be reasonably possible when
they are neither probable nor remote. The Bank believes the estimate
of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of
provisions, for its legal proceedings where it is possible to make such
an estimate, is from nil to approximately $354 million as at October
31, 2012. This estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses
is based upon currently available information for those proceedings in
which the Bank is involved, taking into account the Bank’s best esti-
mate of such losses for those cases which an estimate can be made.
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 deter-
mined. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from
time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current
estimate. For certain cases, the Bank does not believe that an estimate
can currently be made as many of them are in preliminary stages and
certain cases have no specific amount claimed. Consequently, these
cases are not included in the range.
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, there is a possibility 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.
Rothstein Litigation
TD Bank, N.A. has been named as a defendant in multiple lawsuits
pending in state and federal court in Florida related to an alleged
US$1.2 billion Ponzi scheme perpetrated by, among others, Scott
Rothstein, a partner of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida based law firm,
Rothstein, Rosenfeldt and Adler.
Four cases are currently in state court in the Broward County Circuit
Court (Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund, L.P., et al. v. TD Bank,
N.A.; Louella Arvidson, et al. v. TD Bank, N.A., et al.; Don Beverly, et
al. v. TD Bank, N.A., et al.; and RWRK Investments, LLC, et al. v. TD
Bank, N.A., et al.), and one case is in Federal Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Florida (Trustee in Bankruptcy for RRA v.
TD Bank, N.A.).
Six matters have been settled: Razorback Funding, LLC, et al. v.
TD Bank, N.A. (Broward County Circuit Court – settled April 3, 2012);
VRLP1 v. TD Bank, N.A. (Broward County Circuit Court – settled May 5,
2012); Platinum Estates, Inc. and OPMonies 2, LLC v. TD Bank, N.A.
(Southern District of Florida – settled May 31, 2012); Edward J. Morse,
et al. v. TD Bank, et al. (Broward County Circuit Court – settled
October 1, 2012); Amy Adams, et al. v. TD Bank, N.A., et al. (Broward
County Circuit Court – settled October 5, 2012); and Emess Capital,
LLC v. TD Bank, N.A., et al. (Southern District of Florida – settled
September 7, 2012).
The non-bankruptcy lawsuits are all substantially similar and gener-
ally allege that TD Bank, N.A. conspired with Rothstein, facilitated
Rothstein’s Ponzi scheme and overlooked signs of wrongdoing in order
to obtain profits and fees. Claims against TD Bank, N.A. include,
among other things, fraudulent misrepresentation, aiding and abetting
fraud, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, civil conspiracy and
negligent misrepresentation. The plaintiff in Platinum Partners Value
Arbitrage Fund, L.P. v. TD Bank also alleges claims under Florida’s civil
RICO statute, which TD Bank, N.A. has moved to dismiss. All active
cases are in the pleading or discovery phase. Louella Arvidson v. TD
Bank, N.A. has been filed in the Broward County Circuit Court but has
not yet been served on TD Bank. The time allowed for TD Bank to
respond to Don Beverly v. TD Bank, N.A. has not yet elapsed. TD Bank,
N.A. has filed answers and/or motions to dismiss, denying all liability in
all of the other lawsuits.
The Chapter 11 Trustee for the bankruptcy estate of Rothstein,
Rosenfeldt and Adler filed an adversary proceeding against TD Bank,
N.A. in the In re: Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler, P.A. bankruptcy pending
in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. The
Trustee has asserted multiple causes of action against TD Bank, N.A.
seeking to avoid certain transfers made to TD Bank, N.A. that are
alleged to have been preferential and/or fraudulent. Other causes of
actions alleged in the complaint include unjust enrichment, aiding and
abetting conversion, negligence and negligent supervision. The adver-
sary complaint purports to allege losses on behalf of creditors and
appears to seek to recoup losses for the investors. TD Bank, N.A. has
moved to dismiss the Trustee’s claims.
The Coquina Investments v. TD Bank, N.A. et al. trial has been
completed. The jury returned a verdict against TD Bank, N.A. on
January 18, 2012 of US$67 million comprised of US$32 million of
compensatory damages and US$35 million of punitive damages. On
August 3, 2012, the trial court entered an order sanctioning TD Bank,
N.A. and its former outside counsel, Greenberg Traurig, for alleged
discovery misconduct. The sanctions order established certain facts
relating to TD Bank, N.A.’s knowledge of the Rothstein fraud and the
unreasonableness of TD Bank, N.A.’s monitoring and alert systems,
and ordered TD Bank, N.A. and Greenberg Traurig to pay the costs
incurred by the plaintiff in bringing the sanctions motions. An amended
notice of appeal of the jury verdict and the sanctions order was filed
to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on
October 3, 2012.
Multidistrict Overdraft Litigation
The Bank was named as a defendant in four putative nationwide class
actions challenging the manner in which it calculates and collects over-
draft fees. The actions were all transferred to the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Florida for pretrial proceedings in
conjunction with similar actions pending against other banks. Plaintiffs
claim generally but not exclusively that the posting method for debit
transactions (by high to low amount rather than time of transaction)
and related practices breach an implied covenant of good faith, consti-
tute unfair and deceptive acts and practices, cause a conversion of the
customers’ property, and otherwise render the Bank liable for compen-
satory damages in the amount of all overdraft fees collected as a result
of the challenged practices, punitive damages, injunctive relief termi-
nating the challenged practices, and attorneys fees, costs and interest.
The Bank’s motion to dismiss the actions was denied, and discovery
commenced. Subsequently, two of the original actions were dismissed
voluntarily by the plaintiffs. The scope of the classes in the remaining
actions nevertheless effectively encompasses the scope of the classes
in the dismissed actions. More recently, a fifth, similar class action also
challenging overdraft practices was filed against the Bank in the United
States District Court for New Jersey (the Hughes case), the temporal
scope of which is potentially broader than the other overdraft cases.
On April 3, 2012, the Court in Florida granted Plaintiffs’ motion for
class certification, determining that the two actions then pending in
that court may proceed as a class action. On May 8, 2012, the Bank
entered into a settlement with Plaintiffs in the Florida actions, whereby
the Bank, without admission of liability, agreed to pay Plaintiffs
$62 million plus the costs of class notice and administration in return
for release of class members’ claims. On May 14, 2012, the Hughes
case was transferred to Florida and consolidated with the proceedings
there. The effect of the settlement on the Hughes case is yet to be
determined. The court granted preliminary approval of the parties’
settlement agreement; a hearing on final approval is scheduled for
March 7, 2013.
A pro se class action complaint was filed by plaintiff Hackney in
federal court in PA against the Bank on October 23, 2012 relating to
overdraft fees and deceptive advertising allegations. The Bank has
not yet responded.

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results Pearlman Litigation
TD Bank, N.A. (as successor to Carolina First Bank) was named a
defendant by multiple plaintiffs in three lawsuits in multiple jurisdic-
tions arising from alleged damages sustained from a Ponzi scheme and
other fraudulent activities allegedly orchestrated by Louis J. Pearlman.
Two of these lawsuits were settled in 2012: Groom, et al. v. TD
Bank, N.A. (settled September 8, 2012) and Kapila v. TD Bank, N.A.
(settled March 28, 2012).
The third lawsuit, America Bank of St. Paul v. TD Bank, N.A., was
filed in federal court on August 26, 2009. On December 1, 2011, a
jury returned a verdict of approximately US$13.6 million in compensa-
tory damages against TD Bank N.A. On March 6, 2012, the judge
awarded a further US$3.1 million in prejudgment interest against
TD Bank N.A. on a post-trial motion. This matter is now on appeal to
the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
COmmITmENTS
Credit-related Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into various commit-
ments 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 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
authorizations 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 9.
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.

In addition, the Bank is committed to fund $249 million (October 31,
2011 – $345 million; November 1, 2010 – $423 million) 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 commitments
for premises and for equipment, where the annual rental is in excess
of $100 thousand, is estimated at $687 million for 2013; $681 million
for 2014; $626 million for 2015; $569 million for 2016; $508 million
for 2017; and $2,665 million for 2018 and thereafter.
Future minimum finance lease commitments where the annual
payment is in excess of $100 thousand, is estimated at $29 million
for 2013; $29 million for 2014; $16 million for 2015; $11 million for
2016; $6 million for 2017; and $32 million for 2018 and thereafter.
The premises and equipment net rental expense, included under
non-interest expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income,
was $914 million for the year ended October 31, 2012 (2011 –
$877 million).

Pledged Assets and Collateral
In the ordinary course of business, securities and other assets are
pledged against liabilities or contingent liabilities, including repurchase
agreements, securitization liabilities, and securities borrowing transac-
tions. Assets are also 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. As at October 31, 2012, securities and other assets with
a carrying value of $142.2 billion (October 31, 2011 – $118.1 billion;
November 1, 2010 – $100.3 billion) were pledged as collateral in
respect of these transactions. See Note 8, Transfer of Financial Assets,
for further details. Certain consumer instalment and other personal
loan assets were also pledged in respect of covered bonds issued by
the Bank. For details, see Note 9, Special Purpose Entities.
Assets transferred by the Bank where the transferee has the right
to sell or repledge are as follows:

TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
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, 2012, the fair value of financial assets accepted as
collateral that the Bank is permitted to sell or repledge in the absence
of default was $18.0 billion (October 31, 2011 – $20.5 billion;
November 1, 2010 – $18.5 billion). The fair value of financial assets
accepted as collateral that has been sold or repledged (excluding cash
collateral) was $6.4 billion as at October 31, 2012 (October 31, 2011 –
$6.7 billion; November 1, 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
which may result in an obligation to repurchase the assets. These
representations and warranties attest that the Bank, as the seller, 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.
GuArANTEES
The following types of transactions represent the principal guarantees
that the Bank has entered into.
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 guaranteed.
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
unit-holder redemptions, it has the option to sell the mortgage loans
back to the Bank at their fair value. Generally, the term of these agree-
ments 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 specified 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.
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,
2012 is $94 billion (October 31, 2011 – $122 billion; November 1,
2010 – $120 billion).
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 below details the balances of 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.
The Bank’s risk management policies and procedures relating to credit,
market, and liquidity risks as required under IFRS 7 are outlined in
the shaded sections of the “Managing Risk” section of the MD&A in
this report.

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 charac ter-
istics. 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, 2012, the current replacement cost of derivative financial
segment which equalled or exceeded 5% of the total concentration as at October
31, 2012 was: Real estate 8% (October 31, 2011 – 8%, November 1, 2010 – 8%).
2 As at October 31, 2012, the Bank had commitments and contingent liability
contracts in the amount of $97,942 million (October 31, 2011 – $83,023 million,
November 1, 2010 – $80,272 million). Included are commitments to extend credit
totalling $81,861 million (October 31, 2011 – $68,307 million, November 1, 2010
– $65,893 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, 2012:
Financial institutions 16% (October 31, 2011 – 13%, November 1, 2010 – 16%);
pipelines, oil and gas 11% (October 31, 2011 – 13%, November 1, 2010 – 12%);

(including non banking financial institutions), which accounted for 74% of the
total as at October 31, 2012 (October 31, 2011 – 84%, November 1, 2010 – 79%).
The second largest concentration was with governments, which accounted for
21% of the total as at October 31, 2012 (October 31, 2011 – 10%, November 1,
2010 – 13 %). No other industry segment exceeded 5% of the total.

2 The gross maximum credit exposure for derivatives is based on the credit equivalent
amount. The amounts exclude exchange traded derivatives. See Note 10.

could be obligated to extend should the contracts be fully utilized. The actual
maximum exposure may differ from the amount reported above. See Note 30.
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.

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.

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, 50% of investments in insurance subsidiaries
and deductions from securitization investments.
Tier 2 capital includes items such as the collective allowance for
standardized 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,
50% of investments in insurance subsidiaries and deductions from
securitization investments.
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.
168
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
During the year ended October 31, 2012, the Bank complied with the
OSFI guideline related to capital ratios and the assets-to-capital multiple
(ACM). 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.
Current period calculations are based on IFRS while comparative calcu-
lations are based on Canadian GAAP. The Bank’s regulatory capital
position as at October 31 was as follows:

OSFI’s target Tier 1 and Total capital ratios for Canadian banks are
7% and 10%, respectively.
OSFI’s relief provision permits phase-in of the impact of IFRS in
the calculation of regulatory capital on a straight-line basis over five
quarters from November 1, 2011 to January 31, 2013. OSFI has also
provided IFRS transitional provisions for the ACM, which allows for the
exclusion of assets securitized and sold through CMHC-sponsored
programs prior to March 31, 2010 from the calculation of ACM. The
IFRS transition adjustment for regulatory capital is the difference
between adjusted net Tier 1 capital under Canadian GAAP and IFRS at
October 31, 2011. In the absence of this election, the Company’s Tier 1
and Total capital would be $30.6 billion and $38.2 billion respectively,
at October 31, 2012.
1 Calculated based on Canadian GAAP.
2 Tier 1 capital ratio is calculated as Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted
assets (RWA).
3 Total capital includes Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
4 Total capital ratio is calculated as Total capital divided by RWA.
5 The ACM 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 capital.

INVESTmENT IN TD AmErITrADE HOlDING COrPOrATION
The Bank has significant influence over TD Ameritrade and accounts
for its investment in TD Ameritrade using the equity method. As at
October 31, 2012, the Bank’s reported investment in TD Ameritrade
was 45.37% of the outstanding shares of TD Ameritrade with a fair
value of $3,878 million (October 31, 2011 – $4,138 million) based on
the closing price of US$15.69 (October 31, 2011 – US$16.78) on the
New York Stock Exchange.
During the year ended October 31, 2012, TD Ameritrade repur-
chased 7.4 million shares (for the year ended October 31, 2011 –
27.7 million shares) which increased the Bank’s ownership position in
TD Ameritrade to 45.37% as at October 31, 2012 (October 31, 2011 –
44.96%). On August 6, 2010 and October 31, 2011, the Stockholders
Agreement was amended such that: (i) the Bank has until January 24,
2014 to reduce its ownership in TD Ameritrade to 45%; (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%.
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement in relation to the Bank’s
equity investment in TD Ameritrade, the Bank designated five of 12
members of TD Ameritrade’s Board of Directors including the Bank’s
CEO and two independent directors of TD.
TD Ameritrade has no significant contingent liabilities to which
the Bank is exposed. During the year ended October 31, 2012,
TD Ameritrade did not experience any significant restrictions to
transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, or repayment of loans
or advances.

The Bank also consolidates certain subsidiaries where it owns 50 per

of purposes. These subsidiaries are not included in the ‘Significant
Subsidiaries’ table above.
In the normal course of business, the Bank becomes involved with
SPEs, primarily through the following types of transactions: asset secu-
ritizations, structured finance, commercial paper programs, mutual
funds, commercial real estate leasing and closed-end funds. The Bank’s
involvement includes transferring assets to the entities, entering into
derivative contracts with them, providing credit enhancement and
liquidity facilities, providing investment management and administra-
tive services, and holding ownership or other investment interests in
the entities. Please refer to Note 9, Special Purpose Entities.

• Another investor has the power over more than half of the voting
rights by virtue of an agreement with the Bank; or
• Another investor has the power to govern the financial and operating
policies of the investee under a statute or an agreement; or
• Another investor has the power to appoint or remove the majority
of the members of the board of directors or equivalent governing
body and the investee is controlled by that board or body, or when

of transition to IFRS which forms the starting point for the Bank’s
financial reporting under IFRS. These Consolidated Financial Statements
have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies
described in Note 2.
In preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Bank
has applied the requirements of IFRS 1 including full retrospective
application of IFRS effective for the Bank on adoption unless otherwise
indicated below where certain mandatory exceptions were followed
or certain elective exemptions were taken. The relevant mandatory
exceptions include:

3. 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 retrospective
basis for transactions occurring on or after January 1, 2004. In accor-
dance 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 investments 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 owner-
ship 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.
179
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
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.
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 amor-
tized 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 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 in opening
retained earnings of $73 million.
180
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
(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 – Plan Amendment Costs
Canadian GAAP does not differentiate between accounting for the
vested and unvested cost of plan amendments, deferring and amortiz-
ing 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.
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 defined 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) (revised 2008), to all business combina-
tions 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 a 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 subsequent 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.,
finders fees, advisory, legal, etc.) are included in the purchase price
allocation. 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. 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.

uted surplus of $85 million and a decrease to retained earnings
of $1,169 million.
181
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
(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 as
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 Adjustments: Elective Exemption
The Bank has elected to reclassify all cumulative translation differ-
ences, 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 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 incremental
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.
(h) Consolidation: Other differences between Canadian GAAP
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.

(i) Share-based Payments: Other Differences between Canadian
GAAP and IFRS
Under Canadian GAAP, the cost of share-based payments was
recognized from the date awards were granted over the service period
required for employees to become fully entitled to the award.
Under IFRS, the cost of share-based payments is recognized over the
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 Consoli-
dated 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 (IFRS 2), to liabilities arising from
share-based payment transactions that were settled before the transi-
tion date and to equity instruments that were unvested at transition.
The Bank has taken this exemption and has not applied IFRS 2 to liabil-
ities 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.
182
TD Bank Group annual reporT 2012 financial results
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 opening equity comprised
of an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income of
$6 million and a decrease to retained earnings of $78 million.
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 the transition adjustment
between Canadian GAAP and IFRS. The impact to the Bank’s Consoli-
dated 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
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.
(n) Summary of Key Financial Statement Presentation Differences
between Canadian GAAP and IFRS
Reclassification of Non-controlling Interests in Subsidiaries
Under Canadian GAAP, non-controlling interests in subsidiaries was
presented above shareholders’ equity. Under IFRS, non-controlling
interests in subsidiaries is classified as a component of equity, but is
presented separately from the Bank’s shareholders’ equity.
The impact of this presentation change to the Bank’s Consolidated
Balance Sheet as at November 1, 2010 was a decrease to non-controlling
interests in subsidiaries of $1,493 million and an increase to equity –
non-controlling interests in subsidiaries of $1,493 million.
Reclassification of Provisions
Under Canadian GAAP, provisions were recognized within other liabili-
ties on the Bank’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Under IFRS, provisions
have been reclassified to a separate line on the Bank’s opening IFRS
consolidated Balance Sheet.
(o) Earnings Per Share (EPS): Other Differences Between
Canadian GAAP and IFRS
Under Canadian GAAP, certain convertible instruments which were not
considered in the calculation of dilutive EPS, have a dilutive impact
on EPS on transition to IFRS. This change is partially driven by other IFRS
standards, particularly the consolidation of certain instruments, which
increases the population of instruments considered in the Bank’s EPS
calculation. In addition, the Bank’s Class A Preferred Shares, Series M
and N (Series M and N shares), which are convertible to common
shares or cash at the option of the Bank, are considered dilutive under
IFRS. These instruments were not considered dilutive under Canadian
GAAP as the Bank has typically elected to settle these instruments in
cash. Under IFRS, evidence of a past practice of cash settlement does
not preclude inclusion in the calculation of dilutive EPS.
The impact of this difference to the Bank’s IFRS opening Consolidated
Differences in net income available to common shareholders include
Balance Sheet as at November 1, 2010 was an increase to available-
for-sale securities of $128 million, an increase to deferred tax liabilities
of $38 million, and an increase to opening equity of $90 million. The
total impact to the Bank’s opening equity comprised of an increase in
accumulated other comprehensive income of $90 million and no
impact to retained earnings.
the effect of recording, where applicable, the net income effect of
other differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS.
The impact of including certain convertible instruments issued by
the Bank in the calculation of diluted EPS resulted in a reduction of
5 cents for the year ended October 31, 2011, compared to diluted
EPS for the same periods under Canadian GAAP.
(l) Foreign Exchange Related to TD Ameritrade
Under Canadian GAAP, the Bank translated its investment in
TD Ameritrade on a one-month lag basis. Upon transition to IFRS,
the investment was translated at the period end spot rate.
(m) Other: Other Differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS
Other IFRS differences relate primarily to the accounting of foreign
exchange for equity method investments and for available-for-sale
securities. The total impact to the Bank’s opening IFRS equity was a
decrease of $34 million, comprised of an increase to retained earnings
of $11 million, and a decrease to accumulated other comprehensive
income of $45 million.
(p) Statement of Cash Flows: Other Differences between
Canadian GAAP and IFRS
Upon transition to IFRS, certain cash flows included in financing and
investing activities were reclassified to operating activities. Specifically,
net change in loans was reclassified from investing activities to oper-
ating activities and net change in deposits was reclassified from
financing to operating activities. Certain cash flows related to the
Bank’s securitization activities that were included in investing activities
under Canadian GAAP are reflected in operating activities under
IFRS. In addition, income taxes paid (refunded) are included in oper-
ating activities and the amounts of interest and dividends received
are also separately disclosed.

as noted. see the following page for
a reconciliation with reported results.
