TORONTO, August 25, 2005 - TD Bank Financial Group (TDBFG) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2005. Results for the quarter reflect strong operating contributions from the Bank’s four business segments and the fact that the Bank is delivering on its business strategies. The Bank also announced an increase in the quarterly dividend of 2 cents to 42 cents, representing an increase of 5% per fully paid common share for the quarter ended October 31, 2005, payable on or after October 31, 2005.
 
    “TDBFG delivered strong operating results in the third quarter,” said W. Edmund Clark, TD Bank Financial Group President and Chief Executive Officer. “The Board’s decision to raise the quarterly dividend is a reflection of their confidence in our ongoing earnings strength.” Clark also noted that TDBFG’s Tier 1 capital position remained strong at 10.0% for the quarter based on the ongoing strength of earnings.

THIRD QUARTER BUSINESS SEGMENT PERFORMANCE

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking
TD Canada Trust posted strong results once again this quarter. Earnings before amortization of intangibles were up 17% compared with the third quarter last year. Strong volume in real estate secured lending, combined with strong volume and account growth in Business Banking and revenue growth in insurance, drove earnings improvement this quarter.
 
    “Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking once again delivered impressive earnings and market share growth through a continued focus on growing under-represented businesses and on operational excellence in our more mature businesses,” said Clark. “We’re particularly encouraged by the growth in Business Banking and life insurance, making up for the gradual normalization in the exceptional pace of growth at TD Meloche Monnex.”
 
    Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking earnings also received a modest lift from the Laurentian Bank branch acquisition efficiencies and slightly lower provisions for credit loss.

Wealth Management
Solid mutual fund sales, continued momentum in the advice-based businesses and increased trade levels in discount brokerage delivered robust third quarter results. Domestically, the shift towards a greater proportion of earnings from the advice-based businesses continued in the third quarter. TD Waterhouse Canada continued to invest in growing its advisory network this quarter and expects to meet its goal of adding more than 125 Investment Advisors and Financial Planners by year-end.
 
    During the quarter, TDBFG and Ameritrade Holding Corporation announced an agreement for Ameritrade to acquire the Bank’s U.S. brokerage business, TD Waterhouse U.S.A., in exchange for a 32% interest in the combined company. As part of the transaction, promptly following closing the Bank will tender for an additional 7.9% of the shares to bring the Bank’s total holdings to 39.9%. The transaction combines highly complementary franchises to create the largest online retail broker globally as measured by the average number of retail equity trades per day, with the scale, breadth and financial strength to be a leading player in the increasingly competitive and consolidating investor services industry. The combined company will operate under the name TD Ameritrade and, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, the transaction is expected to close early in fiscal 2006.
 
    “The Wealth Management segment posted strong earnings results, up 30% year-over-year, despite relatively soft capital markets,” said Clark. “We believe the continued move to a more diversified wealth offering in Canada and the potential scale of combining TD Waterhouse U.S.A. with Ameritrade will provide further earnings growth.”
 
Wholesale Banking
Earnings within Wholesale Banking were positively impacted by solid domestic franchise results and securities gains despite softer capital markets. These results generated a return on invested capital of 13.6%.
 
    TD Securities incurred an after-tax charge of $10 million in the third quarter related to a previously announced decision aimed at repositioning the global capital markets businesses. TD Securities also incurred a $30 million after-tax trading loss as a result of exiting a portfolio within the global structured products businesses in connection with the restructuring.
 
    “Notwithstanding the restructuring charges, TD Securities continues to execute on the strategy to reposition its business and grow domestic market share. Wholesale Banking is still on track to meet its year-end return on invested capital target of between 15 and 22%,” said Clark.

U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
This quarter marks the first full three months of TD Banknorth earnings being consolidated into TDBFG’s earnings. TD Banknorth delivered a strong quarter largely as a result of good loan growth, strong core other income growth and solid asset quality. Average loans and leases were up 15% over the same quarter last year. “We’re very pleased with TD Banknorth’s performance and believe they are well positioned to execute on their growth strategies with the pending acquisition of Hudson United,” said Clark.
 
    During the quarter TD Banknorth announced an agreement to acquire Hudson United Bancorp for approximately US$1.9 billion in cash and TD Banknorth stock. The transaction is subject to approval by shareholders of Hudson United and TD Banknorth, as well as regulatory approvals, and is expected to close early in calendar 2006. The cash for the transaction will be financed through TD Banknorth’s sale of shares to TDBFG for proceeds of approximately US$950 million.

Corporate
The Bank realized a gain of $23 million after-tax (3 cents per share) related to specific non-core portfolio loan loss recoveries from prior year sectoral provisions and a tax benefit of $30 million (4 cents per share) as a result of a higher tax rate now being applied on prior year sectoral provisions. The Bank recorded a charge of $12 million after-tax ((2) cents per share) this quarter as a result of the impact of hedging relationships accounting guideline (AcG-13), which requires management to mark-to-market the value of its credit protection on its corporate lending portfolio. As previously announced on August 16, 2005 the Bank increased its contingent litigation reserve by U.S.$300 million relating to Enron, resulting in a $238 million after-tax charge ((33) cents per share).

CONCLUSION
"This was a solid quarter that demonstrated the earnings power of TDBFG," said Clark. "Our earnings diversification through strategic acquisitions has positioned us well. We remain focused on our core business strategies and driving long-term shareholder value,” said Clark.






Caution regarding forward-looking statements
From time to time, the Bank makes written and oral forward-looking statements, including in this report, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in other communications. All such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the Bank’s objectives and targets and strategies to achieve them, the outlook for the Bank’s business lines, and the Bank’s anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “may” and “could”. By their very nature, these statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause such differences include: the credit, market, liquidity, interest rate, operational and other risks discussed in the management discussion and analysis section in other regulatory filings made in Canada and with the SEC, including the Bank’s 2004 Annual Report; general business and economic conditions in Canada, the United States and other countries in which the Bank conducts business, as well as the effect of changes in monetary policy in those jurisdictions and changes in the foreign exchange rates for the currencies of those jurisdictions; the degree of competition in the markets in which the Bank operates, both from established competitors and new entrants; legislative and regulatory developments; the accuracy and completeness of information the Bank receives on customers and counterparties; the timely development and introduction of new products and services in receptive markets; expanding existing distribution channels; developing new distribution channels and realizing increased revenue from these channels, including electronic commerce-based efforts; the Bank’s ability to execute its growth and acquisition strategies including those of its subsidiaries; changes in accounting policies and methods the Bank uses to report its financial condition, including uncertainties associated with critical accounting assumptions and estimates; the effect of applying future accounting changes; global capital market activity; consolidation in the Canadian financial services sector; the Bank’s ability to attract and retain key executives; reliance on third parties to provide components of the Bank’s business infrastructure; technological changes; change in tax laws; unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings; continued negative impact of the United States litigation environment; unexpected changes in consumer spending and saving habits; the possible impact on the Bank's businesses of international conflicts and terrorism; acts of God, such as earthquakes; the effects of disease or illness on local, national or international economies; the effects of disruptions to public infrastructure, such as transportation, communications, power or water supply; and management’s ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated with these factors and execute the Bank’s strategies. A substantial amount of the Bank’s business involves making loans or otherwise committing resources to specific companies, industries or countries. Unforeseen events affecting such borrowers, industries or countries could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s financial results, businesses, financial condition or liquidity. The preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible factors. Other factors could also adversely affect the Bank’s results. For more information see the discussion starting on page 37 of the 2004 Annual Report. All such factors should be considered carefully when making decisions with respect to the Bank, and undue reliance should not be placed on the Bank’s forward-looking statements. 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATING PERFORMANCE


This Management’s Discussion and Analysis is as of August 25, 2005. Additional information relating to the Bank is on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, as well as on the Bank’s website www.td.com.


HOW WE PERFORMED

How the Bank Reports
The Bank prepares its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as presented on pages 15 to 30 of this Report to Shareholders. The Bank refers to results prepared in accordance with GAAP as the ”reported basis”.
 
    The Bank also utilizes earnings before amortization of intangibles to assess each of its businesses and to measure overall Bank performance. To arrive at this measure, the Bank removes amortization of intangibles from reported basis earnings. The Bank’s Intangible amortization of assets relates to the TD Banknorth acquisition in March 2005 and the Canada Trust acquisition in fiscal 2000. The Bank excludes amortization of intangibles as this approach is how the Bank manages its businesses internally. Consequently, the Bank believes that earnings before amortization of intangibles provides the reader with an understanding of the Bank’s results that can be consistently tracked from period to period.
 
    As explained, earnings before amortization of intangibles is different from reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. Earnings before amortization of intangibles and related terms used in this report are not defined terms under GAAP, and therefore may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. The table below provides a reconciliation between the Bank’s earnings before amortization of intangibles and its reported results.

Net Income
Reported net income was $411 million for the third quarter 2005, compared with $565 million in the same quarter last year. Reported basic earnings per share were $.58 compared with $.87 in the same quarter last year. Reported diluted earnings per share were $.58 for the quarter, compared with $.86 in the same quarter last year. Reported return on total common equity, on an annualized basis was 10.4% for the quarter compared with 18.4% in the same quarter last year.
 
Net income before amortization of intangibles for the third quarter 2005 was $502 million, compared with $664 million in the same quarter last year. Basic earnings per share before amortization of intangibles were $.71, compared with $1.02 in the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share before amortization of intangibles were $.70 for the quarter, compared with $1.01 in the same quarter last year. Return on total common equity before amortization of intangibles, on an annualized basis was 12.7% for the quarter compared with 21.7% in the same quarter last year.
 
For the nine months ended July 31, 2005, reported net income was $1,640 million compared with $1,637 million in the same period last year. Reported basic earnings per share were $2.39, compared with $2.50 in the same period last year. Reported diluted earnings per share were $2.38 for the nine months ended July 31, 2005, compared with $2.48 in the same period last year. Reported return on total common equity, on an annualized basis was 15.4%, compared with 18.3% in the same period last year.
 
Net income before amortization of intangibles for the nine months ended July 31, 2005 was $1,908 million, compared with $2,022 million in the same period last year. Basic earnings per share before amortization of intangibles were $2.79, compared with $3.09 in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share before amortization of intangibles were $2.76 for the period, compared with $3.06 in the same period last year. Return on total common equity before amortization of intangibles, on an annualized basis was 17.9% for the period compared with 22.6% in the same period last year.

Economic Profit and Return on Invested Capital
The Bank utilizes economic profit as a tool to measure shareholder value creation. Economic profit is net income before amortization of intangibles less a charge for average invested capital. Average invested capital is equal to average common equity for the period plus the average cumulative after-tax goodwill and intangible assets amortized as of the reporting date. The rate used in the charge for capital is the equity cost of capital calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The charge represents an assumed minimum return required by common shareholders on the Bank’s invested capital. The Bank’s goal is to achieve positive and growing economic profit.
 
Return on invested capital (ROIC) is net income before amortization of intangibles divided by average invested capital. ROIC is a variation on the economic profit measure that is useful in comparison to the equity cost of capital. Both ROIC and the cost of capital are percentage rates, while economic profit is a dollar measure. When ROIC exceeds the equity cost of capital, economic profit is positive. The Bank’s goal is to maximize economic profit by achieving ROIC that exceeds the equity cost of capital.
 
Economic profit and ROIC are not defined terms under GAAP, and therefore may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. The following table provides a reconciliation between the Bank’s economic profit, return on invested capital and net income before amortization of intangibles. Earnings before amortization of intangibles and related terms are discussed in the ”How the Bank Reports” section.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income on a reported basis was $1,563 million for the third quarter 2005, an increase of $111 million compared with the same quarter last year. The increase was entirely due to TD Banknorth. This was the first full quarter that TD Banknorth results were included in the Bank’s results. Net interest income in Wealth Management’s Discount Brokerage operations also increased due to higher deposit spreads and balances. There was also increased net interest income in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking due to strong volume growth in real estate secured lending, core banking and business deposits, partially offset by a continued product mix shift into lower margin deposit products. Wholesale Banking experienced reduced trading-related net interest income in the U.S. dollar trading businesses, largely due to increases in U.S. short term interest rates. Net interest income also decreased in the Corporate Segment due to interest earned on income tax refunds in the prior year.
 
  For the nine months ended July 31, 2005, net interest income on a reported basis was $4,367 million compared with $4,338 million in the same period last year, an increase of $29 million. The inclusion of four months of results from the acquisition of TD Banknorth contributed $407 million to net interest income. Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking also contributed to the increase mainly due to volume growth in real estate secured lending, core banking and business deposits. Net interest income increased due to higher deposit spreads and balances in Wealth Management compared with the same period last year. These increases were largely offset by decreases in net interest income within Wholesale Banking primarily related to U.S. short term rate increases as previously discussed.
 
At the total Bank level, the Bank does not discuss net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB), as it is not useful at that level. However, on a segmented basis, the Bank discusses net interest income on a TEB. For further details, see the introductory discussion in the ”How Our Businesses Performed” section on page 12.

Other Income
Other income, on a reported basis was $1,535 million for the third quarter 2005, an increase of $354 million from the same quarter last year.
 
Trading income was $80 million compared with a loss of $75 million in the same quarter last year mainly due to an increase in trading income within Wholesale Banking. Trading-related income (which is the total of trading income reported in other income and net interest income on trading positions reported in net interest income) decreased by $64 million compared with the same quarter last year primarily due to a decline in interest rate and equity trading that more than offset increases in debt and currency trading. A $46 million loss incurred on the exit of a portfolio within the global structured products businesses was recorded in trading income (loss) in the third quarter 2005. The Bank also recognized charges of $18 million in the current quarter, related to derivatives not afforded hedge accounting subsequent to the adoption of the hedging relationships accounting guideline (AcG-13) in fiscal 2004.
 
Insurance revenues, net of claims, increased by $53 million compared with the same quarter last year, due to the inclusion of results from the TD Banknorth acquisition, organic volume growth and a slightly lower claims ratio. Card services revenues increased by $30 million and service charges increased by $57 million compared with the same quarter last year largely due to the inclusion of results from TD Banknorth. Credit fees, however, decreased by $20 million compared with the same quarter last year mainly due to a decline in corporate credit fees.
 
Investment and securities services revenues increased by $56 million compared with the same quarter last year. Capital market fee revenue (which includes revenues from mergers and acquisitions, underwriting and equity sales and trading) increased by $16 million mainly due to an increase in the domestic underwriting business and increased equity trading commissions earned on equity block trading. Mutual fund management fees also increased by $20 million due to an increase in assets under management. Self-directed brokerage fees, however, decreased by $10 million compared with the same quarter last year due to a decline in commissions per trade and the impact of foreign exchange in TD Waterhouse U.S.A., partially offset by higher trading volumes. Average trades per day increased by 8% to 94,000 compared with 87,000 in the same quarter last year.
 
For the nine months ended July 31, 2005, other income on a reported basis was $4,447 million, an increase of $682 million from the same period last year.
 
Trading income reported in other income for the nine months ended July 31, 2005 was $235 million compared with a loss of $78 million in the same period last year mainly due to an increase in trading revenue within the Wholesale Banking credit and equity trading businesses. The Bank also recognized gains of $17 million for the nine months related to derivatives not afforded hedge accounting subsequent to the adoption of hedging relationships accounting guideline (AcG-13).
 
Insurance revenues, net of claims, increased by $198 million compared with the same period last year, mainly due to the acquisition of business from Liberty Mutual Group, the inclusion of TD Banknorth’s insurance business and organic growth. Card services revenues increased by $42 million compared with the same period last year. However, securitization income declined by $14 million due to lower servicing income from residential mortgages and credit cards.
 
Investment and securities services decreased by $2 million compared with the same period last year. Mutual fund management fees and investment management fees increased by $38 million and $9 million respectively due to an increase in assets under management. Capital market fee revenue increased by $35 million due to improvements in advisory services in mergers and acquisitions and stronger equity trading commissions. Full service brokerage revenues increased by $24 million due to improved activity within Wealth Management’s advice-based businesses. Self-directed brokerage fees decreased by $138 million due to a decline in average daily trading volumes and lower commissions per trade.

Non-Interest Expenses
On a reported basis, expenses for the third quarter 2005 were $2,577 million compared with $1,907 million in the same quarter last year, an increase of $670 million.
 
The increase in expenses was largely due to the recognition in the current quarter of approximately $365 million (U.S.$300 million) of expense related to contingent litigation reserves related to Enron. There were no losses of this nature in the same quarter last year. In addition, the inclusion of results from the TD Banknorth acquisition contributed $250 million to this expense increase. Expenses in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking also increased mainly due to growth in compensation costs, increased marketing costs and increased investments in systems development and infrastructure. Expenses increased in Wealth Management due to an increase in compensation costs in the advisory businesses and higher mutual fund sales commissions, driven by higher assets under management, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange in TD Waterhouse U.S.A. Slightly offsetting this increase was a decrease in Wholesale Banking expenses due primarily to lower variable compensation costs, partially offset by the recognition of $15 million in restructuring costs relating to the global structured products businesses. The impact of Amortization of intangible assets on the Bank’s reported expenses was $143 million for the third quarter 2005, compared with $152 million in the same quarter last year. Expenses before amortization of intangibles in the third quarter 2005 were $2,434 million compared to $1,755 million in the same quarter last year.
 
   For the nine months ended July 31, 2005, reported expenses were $6,579 million compared with $6,103 million in the same period last year, an increase of $476 million.
 
The increase in expenses is primarily due to the inclusion of TD Banknorth results as previously discussed for the quarter. Expenses in Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking also increased mainly due to growth in the insurance business, including the Liberty acquisition and other factors previously discussed for the quarter. Expenses also increased in Wealth Management due to similar factors previously discussed for the quarter. Wholesale Banking expenses decreased due to lower variable compensation costs partially offset by the recognition of $37million in restructuring costs relating to the global structured products businesses. The impact of amortization of intangible assets on the Bank’s reported basis before tax expenses was $411 million for the nine month period, compared with $484 million in the same period last year. The nine month expenses include approximately $365 million of expenses related to contingent litigation reserves related to Enron matters, and the prior year nine month results include $300 million of expenses related to Enron. Expenses before amortization of intangibles in the current year were $6,168 million compared with $5,619 million in the same period last year, an increase of $549 million.
 
Taxes
The Bank’s effective tax rate, on a reported basis, was 2.5% for the third quarter 2005, compared with 24.0% in the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended July 31, 2005, the Bank’s effective tax rate, on a reported basis was 20.6% compared with 29.2% in the same period last year.
 
The change in the effective rates is primarily due to the reduction in pre-tax income resulting from an increase in the contingent litigation reserve related to Enron, as well as the following items:

Balance Sheet
Total assets were $368 billion at the end of the third quarter 2005, $57 billion higher than October 31, 2004. The increase in assets was primarily driven by the acquisition of TD Banknorth which contributed $34 billion to the increase. Increased positions in securities represented $15 billion of the total increase, of which TD Banknorth contributed $5 billion. Growth in securities was primarily driven by an increase in trading securities within Wholesale Banking. Also, compared with October 31, 2004, personal loans, including securitizations, increased by $13 billion, of which $7 billion was a result of the TD Banknorth acquisition. Growth in personal loans was also a result of steady growth in real estate secured lending volumes within Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking. At the end of the quarter, residential mortgages, including securitizations, increased by $5 billion compared with October 31, 2004, primarily as a result of the TD Banknorth acquisition. Business and government loans increased by $14 billion primarily due to the acquisition of TD Banknorth. Bank-originated securitized assets not included on the balance sheet amounted to $23 billion, compared with $20 billion as at October 31, 2004.
 
Total deposits were $251 billion at the end of the third quarter 2005, an increase of $45 billion compared with October 31, 2004. This increase was mainly driven by the addition of TD Banknorth which contributed $28 billion of the increase. Wholesale deposits increased by $7 billion compared with October 31, 2004 mainly due to funding a higher level of assets within Wholesale Banking. Personal term deposits and personal non-term deposits increased by $7 billion and $15 billion respectively, primarily as a result of the TD Banknorth acquisition.
 
The Bank enters into structured transactions on behalf of clients which results in assets recorded on the Bank’s Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet for which market risk has been transferred to third parties via total return swaps. As at July 31, 2005, assets under such arrangements amounted to $6 billion, compared with $5 billion as at October 31, 2004. The Bank also acquires market risk on certain assets via total return swaps, without acquiring the cash instruments directly. Assets under such arrangements amounted to $14 billion as at July 31, 2005 unchanged from October 31, 2004. Market risk for all such positions is tracked and monitored, and regulatory market risk capital is maintained.

Managing Risk

Credit Risk and Provision for (Reversal of) Credit Losses
During the third quarter 2005, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $40 million compared with a reversal of credit losses of $17 million in the same quarter last year. The provision for credit losses recorded in the third quarter 2005 was mainly attributable to Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, which reported a $90 million provision in the normal course of business (before the effect of securitizations). U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking reported a provision of $4 million during the quarter. No credit losses were experienced in the Wholesale Banking credit portfolio during the quarter. Partially offsetting the Bank’s provision for credit losses was a $42 million recovery in the non-core lending portfolio for amounts previously provided for under sectoral provisions.
 
For the nine months ended July 31, 2005, the Bank recorded a $70 million provision for credit losses compared with a $313 million reversal in the same period last year. The current period provision for credit losses primarily related to Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, which reported $276 million of provisions in the normal course of business (before the effect of securitizations).

Interest Rate Risk
The objective of interest rate risk management for the non-trading portfolio is to ensure stable and predictable earnings are realized over time. In this context, the Bank has adopted a disciplined hedging approach to profitability management for its asset and liability positions including a modeled maturity profile for non-rate sensitive assets, liabilities and equity. Key aspects of this approach are:
 
minimizing the impact of interest rate risk on net interest income and economic value within Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking; and
measuring the contribution of each product on a risk adjusted, fully-hedged basis, including the impact of financial options granted to customers.
 
    The Bank uses derivative financial instruments, wholesale instruments and other capital market alternatives and, less frequently, product pricing strategies to manage interest rate risk. As at July 31, 2005, an immediate and sustained 100 basis point increase in rates would have decreased the economic value of shareholders’ equity by $66 million or .4% after-tax.

Liquidity Risk
The Bank holds a sufficient amount of liquidity to fund its obligations as they come due under normal operating conditions as well as under a base case stress scenario that defines the minimum amount of liquidity that must be held at all times. The surplus liquid asset position is defined as total available liquid assets less the Bank’s total maturing wholesale funding, potential non-wholesale deposit run-off and contingent liabilities, measured at a number of points in time up to and including 90 days forward. As at July 31, 2005, the Bank’s consolidated surplus liquid asset position, on a cumulative basis, up to 90 days forward was $27.9 billion, compared with a consolidated surplus liquid asset position of $18.8 billion on October 31, 2004. The Bank ensures that funding obligations are fulfilled by managing its cash flows and holding highly liquid assets that can be readily converted into cash. The Bank manages liquidity on a global basis, ensuring the prudent management of liquidity risk in all its operations. In addition to a large base of stable retail and commercial deposits, the Bank has an active wholesale funding program including asset securitization. This funding is highly diversified as to source, type, currency and geographical location.

Market Risk
The Bank manages market risk in its trading books by using several key controls. The Bank’s market risk policy sets out detailed limits for each trading business, including Value at Risk (VaR), stress test, stop loss, and sensitivity to various market risk factors. Policy controls are augmented through active oversight by independent market risk staff and frequent management reporting. VaR is a statistical loss threshold which should not be exceeded on average more than once in 100 days. It is also the basis for regulatory capital for market risk. The following table presents average and end-of-quarter general market risk VaR usage for the three and nine months period ended July 31, 2005, as well as the fiscal 2004 average. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2005, net daily capital markets revenues were positive for 87.7% and 89.2% of the trading days, respectively. Losses exceeded the Bank's statistically predicted VAR on two days in the quarter: a loss was incurred due to the exit of a portfolio within the global structured products businesses and a loss was incurred largely as a result of unfavorable moves in the structured credit products markets.

Capital
The Bank’s capital ratios are calculated using the guidelines of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI). The Bank continues to hold sufficient capital levels to ensure that flexibility is maintained to grow its operations, both organically and through strategic acquisitions, and has the strength to absorb losses. The strong capital ratios are the result of the Bank’s internal capital generation, constant monitoring of asset growth and periodic issuance of capital generating securities.
 
    As at July 31, 2005, the Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 10.0% compared with 12.6% at October 31, 2004. The decline is attributable to a $30 billion increase in risk-weighted assets that was primarily driven by the acquisition of TD Banknorth. The Bank's overall Tier 1 capital was up $.5 billion compared with October 31, 2004. This impact primarily arises from the cash component of the acquisition of TD Banknorth largely offsetting the capital generation from the Bank’s earnings less cash dividends.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING CHANGES

The following is a summary of accounting and reporting changes the Bank expects to adopt in future periods. See Note 15 of the Bank’s Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for more details of future accounting and reporting changes.

Financial Instruments, Hedges and Comprehensive Income
The CICA has issued three new accounting standards - Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, Hedges and Comprehensive Income. These standards are substantially harmonized with U.S. GAAP and are effective for the Bank beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The principal impacts of the standards are as follows:
 
Financial assets will be classified as available for sale, held to maturity, trading or will continue to be accrual accounted. Held to maturity assets will be limited to fixed maturity instruments that the Bank intends to and is able to hold to maturity and will be accounted for at amortized cost. Trading assets will continue to be accounted for at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported through net income. The remaining assets will be classified as available for sale and measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized through comprehensive income.
 
Comprehensive income will be a new component of shareholder’s equity and a new statement entitled Statement of Comprehensive Income will be added to the Bank’s primary financial statements. Comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, foreign currency translation and derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, net of income taxes.
 
For fair value hedges, where the Bank is hedging changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments, the change in the value of derivatives and hedged items will be recorded through income. For cash flow hedges where the Bank is hedging the variability in cash flows related to variable rate assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions, the effective portion of the changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments will be recorded through comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in income.

Controls and Procedures Surrounding Preparation of Financial Statements
As required, the Bank intends to file a certification on the adequacy of internal controls in the 2006 Annual Report pursuant to Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In 2005, work continues throughout the Bank documenting and assessing internal controls over financial reporting.

HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED

For management reporting purposes, the Bank’s operations and activities are organized around the following operating business segments: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking, Wholesale Banking and Wealth Management. Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking comprises the Bank’s personal and business banking in Canada as well as the Bank’s global insurance operations (excluding the U.S.). Results of each business segment reflect revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities generated by the business in that segment. The Bank measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on earnings before amortization of intangibles and, where applicable, the Bank notes that the measure is before amortization of intangibles. This measure is only relevant in the Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking and Wealth Management segments as there are no intangibles allocated to the Wholesale Banking and Corporate segments. For further details see the “How the Bank Reports” section on page 4. For information concerning the Bank’s measures of economic profit and return on invested capital, see page 5. Segmented information also appears in Note 10 of the Bank’s Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
 
Net interest income, primarily within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means that the value of non-taxable or tax-exempt income such as 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 more meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions. The TEB adjustment reflected primarily in the Wholesale Banking segment’s results is eliminated in the Corporate segment.

Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking
Net income of $434 million before amortization of intangibles for the third quarter 2005 increased by $62 million from the same quarter last year. Return on invested capital increased from 21% last year to 23% this quarter and economic profit grew by $56 million or 27% compared with the same quarter last year.
 
    Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking had record earnings this quarter. A positive spread of three percentage points between revenue and expense growth resulted in 17% earnings growth compared with the same quarter last year.
 
    Revenue grew by $124 million or 8% compared with the same quarter last year. Strong volume growth across most banking products was the main contributor to revenue growth. Volume growth was particularly strong in real estate secured lending, savings accounts and business deposits. These areas of growth were partially offset by lower margins. Insurance growth remained strong but moderated from previous quarters. Growth came mainly from higher volume, as claims experience was relatively stable.
 
    As compared with the same quarter last year, real estate secured lending volume (including securitizations) grew by $10 billion or 10%, personal deposit volume grew $4 billion or 5% while other personal loans were relatively flat. Business deposits grew by $4 billion or 12% and business loans and acceptances increased by $700 million or 5%. Originated insurance premiums grew by $25 million or 5%. The pace of market share gains in personal deposits increased during the quarter while personal lending share continued to decline slightly. As of May 2005, personal deposit market share was 21.5% up .23% from last year and .13% from last quarter. Personal lending market share was 20.3% down .33% from last year and down .03% from last quarter. Small business lending (credit limits of less than $250,000) market share was 16.0%, up .06% from last year and .12% from last quarter.
 
    Margin on average earning assets decreased from 3.00% last year and from 2.95% last quarter to 2.92% this quarter primarily due to a change in product mix as volume growth continues to be weighted toward lower margin products. The downward trend moderated this quarter as the impact of the change in mix was less pronounced.
 
    Provision for credit losses (PCL) for the quarter decreased by $2 million or 2% compared with the same quarter last year. Personal PCL of $89 million was $6 million higher than the same quarter last year. Business banking PCL was $1 million this quarter, down $8 million from the same quarter last year. Annualized PCL as a percent of lending volume continued to be low at .24%, down 0.02% from the same quarter last year.
 
    Expenses before amortization of intangibles increased by $43 million or 5% compared with the same quarter last year. Employee compensation, marketing, systems development and infrastructure projects were the main factors contributing to the increase in expenses, partly offset by synergies and lower integration expenses related to the branches acquired from Laurentian Bank in the prior year. The full time equivalent (FTE) staffing levels increased by 487 as compared with the same quarter last year. Growth in the insurance business added 223 FTE to staffing levels and the remainder of the increase was from the addition of sales and service personnel in branches and call centres. The spread between revenue and expense growth resulted in a 1.8% improvement in the efficiency ratio, before amortization of intangibles, from last year to 56.4%.
 
    The outlook for revenue growth for banking products continues to be strong on robust volume and fee growth driven in part by recent increases in new account openings and improved retention. Margins are still expected to be negatively impacted by product mix, however, this will be mitigated somewhat by higher deposit margins if short-term interest rates increase as expected. Insurance volume growth is expected to remain solid, however, revenue will be negatively impacted by rate reductions. PCL rates on personal and small business loans should remain favourable, however Commercial PCL is likely to increase moderately due to lower expected recoveries going forward. Investments in systems development and infrastructure, as well as increased marketing efforts will result in further expense growth, however, the Bank remains committed to managing expense growth to a lower rate than revenue growth.

U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking
The U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment is a new segment established as a result of the acquisition of a majority interest in TD Banknorth on March 1, 2005. The results of TD Banknorth are included in the Bank’s consolidated results on a one-month lag basis and represent a full quarter for the first time.
 
    For the quarter, the U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking segment’s earnings before amortization of intangibles was $70 million, the annualized return on invested capital was 5.5% and the economic loss was $43 million.
 
    Total revenues were $449 million.The margin on average earning assets was 4.12% and benefited from balance sheet de-leveraging in February 2005. Commercial and consumer loan growth has been solid, while residential mortgage loans have declined slightly; and this trend is expected to continue for the remainder of the year.
 
    Provision for credit losses for the quarter was $4 million, equal to net write offs. If recent loss experience continues, it is anticipated that the quarterly provisions for credit losses for the remainder of 2005 will continue to be substantially less than the quarterly provisions recorded in 2004.
 
    Expenses before amortization of intangibles were $250 million, including $6 million of merger related charges. The average FTE staffing level for the quarter was 7,229. The efficiency ratio, before amortization of intangibles, was 55.7%.
 
    TD Banknorth is well positioned to execute its growth strategy going forward.
 
    On July 12, 2005, TD Banknorth announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Hudson United Bancorp for approximately U.S.$1.9 billion in stock and cash. The acquisition, subject to both Hudson United and TD Banknorth shareholder approval, as well as regulatory approvals, is anticipated to close early in calendar 2006.
 
Wholesale Banking
Wholesale Banking recorded net income of $90 million in the third quarter 2005, $38 million less than the third quarter of last year. The return on invested capital for the quarter was 14% compared with 22% in the same quarter last year. Economic profit for the quarter was $4 million compared with $53 million in the same quarter last year.
 
    Wholesale Banking revenue is derived primarily from capital markets, investing and corporate lending activities. Revenue for the quarter was $443 million, compared with $535 million in the same quarter last year. The capital markets businesses generate revenues from advisory, underwriting, trading, facilitation and execution services. Capital markets revenues decreased compared to last year, largely due to the impact of a $46 million loss incurred on the exit of a portfolio, as previously discussed, within the global structured products businesses. Additionally, weaker trading results were experienced in the debt capital markets businesses as the business was impacted by difficult conditions in credit markets. This was partially offset by strong commission revenue earned in equity trading. The equity investment portfolio delivered lower revenues compared with the same quarter last year due primarily to lower net interest and dividend income. Corporate lending revenues were down slightly as a result of continued reductions in credit exposure.
 
    Provisions for credit losses are comprised of allowances for loan losses and costs for credit protection. The cost of credit protection included in the segment represents the accrual cost for the protection. The change in market value of the protection, in excess of the accrual cost, is reported in the Corporate segment. Provisions for credit losses were $13 million for the quarter, an increase from $12 million in the same quarter last year. The entire $13 million provision in the quarter represents costs of credit protection.
 
    Wholesale Banking continues to proactively manage its credit risk and holds $3.6 billion in notional credit default swap protection, a decrease of $.2 billion from the end of last quarter and a decrease of $1.4 billion from the same quarter last year. The decrease from the same quarter last year is largely a result of rebalancing within the protection portfolio.
 
    Expenses were $296 million, a decrease of $44 million from $340 million the same quarter last year. This is primarily due to a lower variable compensation related to the weaker performance this quarter. The expenses include a further $15 million restructuring charge related to the repositioning of some of the Bank’s global structured products businesses, which commenced last quarter.
 
    Overall, this quarter Wholesale Banking was negatively impacted by the repositioning of the global structured products businesses. For the remainder of 2005 Wholesale Banking will focus on its key priorities which include: continuing to execute on the strategic decision to reposition the global structured products businesses, increasing domestic market share, continuing to enhance the risk and control infrastructure and achieving a return on invested capital of 15% to 22%.

Wealth Management
Wealth Management’s net income before amortization of intangibles for the third quarter 2005 was $99 million, an increase of $23 million from the same quarter last year. The return on invested capital for the quarter was 15%, up 4% points from the same quarter last year. The economic profit for the quarter was $19 million, an increase of $26 million from the same quarter last year.
 
    Total revenue increased $59 million from the same quarter last year to $675 million due to continued growth in assets under administration in the advice-based businesses, higher mutual fund management fees due to 18% growth in mutual fund assets under management as well as higher interest revenue resulting from an increase in discount brokerage deposit balances in TD Waterhouse U.S.A., partially offset by lower discount brokerage commissions per trade and by the unfavourable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on U.S. revenues.
 


 

TD BANK FINANCIAL GROUP • THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2005
Page 14

    Expenses before amortization of intangibles were $531 million in the third quarter, an increase of $29 million compared with the same quarter last year.The increase was a result of higher sales force compensation due to growth in assets under administration and assets under management, and continued investment in the advice-based channels.These increases were partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on U.S. expenses.
 
    Assets under management of $130 billion at July 31, 2005 increased $13 billion from October 31, 2004 due to strong sales of mutual funds, growth in institutional assets and market appreciation. Assets under administration totaled $322 billion at the end of the third quarter, an increase of $43 billion from October 31, 2004 due to the addition of new assets in discount brokerage, investment advice and financial planning and market appreciation.
 
    The outlook for the fourth quarter is encouraging as trade volumes appear to be strengthening and client assets continue to grow. The investment in the advice-based and asset management channels is resulting in a shift in the earnings base to more stable fee-based revenues with lesser dependence on transactional revenues.
 
During the quarter, the Bank and Ameritrade Holding Corporation announced an agreement for Ameritrade to acquire the Bank’s U.S. brokerage business, TD Waterhouse U.S.A., in exchange for a 32% interest in the combined company. As part of the transaction, promptly following closing the Bank will tender for an additional 7.9% of the shares to bring the Bank’s total holdings to 39.9%.The transaction combines highly complementary franchises to create the largest online retail broker globally as measured by the average number of retail equity trades per day, with the scale, breadth and financial strength to be a leading player in the increasingly competitive and consolidating investor services industry. The combined company will operate under the name TD Ameritrade and, subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, the transaction is expected to close early in fiscal 2006.

Corporate
During the third quarter 2005, the Corporate Segment reported net loss of $191 million. These results include approximately a $365 million ($238 million after-tax) provision relating to Enron litigation. The results also include income relating to a $42 million ($23 million after-tax) recovery in the non-core lending portfolio for amounts previously provided for under sectoral provisions in U.S. subsidiaries. The non-core lending portfolio also had $30 million of tax benefits, relating to a change in tax rates due to the relocation of Houston business operations. In addition, the Corporate Segment recorded charges of $18 million ($12 million after-tax) due to the impact of the hedging relationships accounting guideline (AcG-13). Also included in the quarter were other costs associated with treasury activities and net unallocated revenues, expenses and taxes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)


The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (Canadian GAAP) and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2004 except as discussed in Note1. Under Canadian GAAP, additional disclosures are required in the annual financial statements and accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2004 and the accompanying notes included on pages 61 to 101 of the Bank’s 2004 annual report. The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.



Note 1: Changes in Accounting Policy


(a) Liabilities and Equity
As of November 1, 2004, the Bank adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) amendments to its accounting standard on financial instruments - disclosure and presentation on a retroactive basis with restatement of prior periods. As a result of these amendments, the Bank was required to classify its existing preferred shares totaling $1,310 million and innovative capital structures totaling $900 million, as at October 31, 2004, as liabilities and their corresponding distributions as interest expense. Earnings applicable to common shares and earnings per share amounts are unaffected for all prior periods. The following table shows the reduction in net interest income. Net income before non-controlling interest prior to restatement was also reduced by the same amounts each period. Net income applicable to common shares is unaffected as the preferred dividends and non-controlling interest from the innovative capital structures were already deducted from income applicable to common shares in prior periods. For regulatory capital purposes, the existing capital instruments of the Bank have been grandfathered by the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada, and the Bank’s capital ratios are unaffected.

(b) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
As of November 1, 2004, the Bank prospectively adopted the CICA accounting guideline on the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). VIEs are entities in which the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinate financial support provided by any parties, including equity investors. The Bank has identified VIEs that it has an interest in, determined whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities and if so, consolidated them. The primary impact of adopting the revised guideline is that the Bank no longer consolidates one of its innovative capital structures - TD Capital Trust II Securities, which accounts for $350 million of Tier 1 capital. Although the Bank has voting control it is not deemed the primary beneficiary under the VIE rules. For regulatory capital purposes, the Bank’s innovative capital structures have been grandfathered by the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada, and the Bank’s capital ratios are unaffected.

(c) Merchant Banking Accounting
As of November 1, 2004, the Bank prospectively adopted the Canadian Accounting Standards Board’s amendments to its accounting standard on subsidiaries which disallows an enterprise acquired with the clearly demonstrated intention that it would be disposed of in the foreseeable future to be considered a temporary investment. As a result, the Bank has commenced equity accounting for investments held in the merchant banking portfolio where it has significant influence. The impact of this change in accounting is not significant for the Bank.

(d) Asset Retirement Obligations
As of November 1, 2004, the Bank adopted the CICA accounting standard on asset retirement obligations on a retroactive basis with restatement. The accounting standard requires that a liability for an asset retirement obligation related to a long-lived asset be recognized in the period in which it is incurred and recorded at fair value. The offset to the liability is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The impact of this accounting standard is not significant for the Bank.



 

TD BANK FINANCIAL GROUP • THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2005
Page 20

(e) Investment Companies
The Bank adopted the CICA accounting guideline on investment companies as of November 1, 2004. The accounting guideline requires the Bank’s investment companies to account for all their investments at fair value. The guideline sets out the criteria for determining whether a company is an investment company and also provides guidance on the circumstances in which the parent company of, or equity method investor in, an investment company should account for the investment company’s investments at fair value. The impact of this accounting guideline is not significant for the Bank.

Note 2: Allowance for Credit Losses


The Bank’s allowance for credit losses at July 31, 2005 and July 31, 2004 is shown in the table below. The Bank no longer has any sectoral allowances beginning in the first quarter 2005.

During the three months ended July 31, 2005, there were maturities of previously securitized loans and receivables of $2,185 million (Q3, 2004 - $2,288 million). As a result, proceeds from securitizations were $1,457 million for the three months ended July 31, 2005 (Q3, 2004 - $1,561 million). During the nine months ended July 31, 2005, there were maturities of previously securitized loans and receivables of $6,580 million (nine months ended July 31, 2004 - $7,065 million). As a result, proceeds from securitizations were $5,622 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2005 (nine months ended July 31, 2004 - $3,610 million).



Note 4: Variable Interest Entities


Variable interest entities (VIEs) are entities in which the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinate financial support provided by any parties, including equity investors. The accounting guideline requires the Bank to identify VIEs in which it has an interest, determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities and if so, consolidate them. The primary beneficiary is an entity that is exposed to a majority of the VIE’s expected losses or entitled to a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns or both.
 
As of July 31, 2005, the Bank was not considered the primary beneficiary of any significant VIEs. The Bank holds variable interests in certain VIEs where it is not considered the primary beneficiary. The first of these are multi-seller conduits which the Bank created in fiscal 1993, 1998, 1999 and 2000 with a total of $10 billion of assets. While the probability of loss is negligible, the Bank’s maximum potential exposure to loss from these conduits is $10 billion as of July 31, 2005 (through sole provision of liquidity facilities only available in the event of a general market disruption).


 

TD BANK FINANCIAL GROUP • THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2005
Page 22

The second is a single-seller conduit which the Bank created in fiscal 2000 with $3 billion of assets. The Bank’s maximum potential exposure to loss for this conduit is through sole provision of liquidity facilities of $3 billion (as of July 31, 2005), which is only available in the event of a general market disruption; however, the probability of loss is negligible.
 
The Bank also enters into structured transactions on behalf of clients. Beginning in fiscal 2001, the Bank sold trading assets to certain third-party managed multi-seller conduits as a source of cost effective funding as well as to manage regulatory capital. As part of the transactions, the Bank maintained its exposure to the assets through derivative contracts executed with the conduits. The Bank’s maximum exposure to the entity is limited to the $2 billion notional value of the specified assets sold.


Note 5: Subordinated Notes, Debentures and Other Debt


During the Third Quarter 2005, the Bank repaid upon maturity $2 million of debentures, with an interest rate of .85%.

During the nine months ended July 31, 2005, the Bank did not repurchase any of its common shares under its outstanding normal course issuer bid. During the nine months ended July 31, 2004, 7.6 million shares were repurchased at a cost of $350 million on a previous program.

Note 11: Acquisitions and Dispositions

 
a) TD Banknorth

On March 1, 2005, the Bank acquired 51% of the outstanding shares of TD Banknorth. The total consideration in respect of this purchase amounted to $5,100 million, paid in cash and common shares in the amount of $3,112 million and $1,988 million, respectively. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method. The fiscal periods of the Bank and TD Banknorth are not coterminus. TD Banknorth’s results from the March 1, 2005 acquisition date to its quarter end date of March 31, 2005 have been consolidated with the Bank’s results for the quarter ending April 30, 2005. In the current quarter, Banknorth’s three months ended June 30, 2005 are consolidated with the Bank’s results for three months ended July 31, 2005. In subsequent quarters, TD Banknorth’s results for the three months ended each calendar quarter will be consolidated with the Bank’s results for the fiscal quarter. TD Banknorth is reported as a separate segment referred to as U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking. 

During March 2005, TD Banknorth completed a share repurchase of 15.3 million shares. As a result of this share repurchase, the Bank increased its ownership of TD Banknorth by 4.5% resulting in a 55.5% share ownership.

The following table presents 100% of assets and liabilities of TD Banknorth as of the dates of acquisition. The assets and liabilities are carried 55.5% at fair value and 44.5% at historical cost.

b) TD Waterhouse U.S.A. & Ameritrade

On June 22, 2005 the Bank announced its intention to sell its U.S. brokerage business, TD Waterhouse U.S.A. to Ameritrade Holding Corporation in exchange for approximately a 32% ownership in the combined legal entity. As part of the transaction, promptly following closing the Bank will tender for an additional 7.9% of the shares to bring the Bank’s total holdings to 39.9%. The new entity will operate under the name TD Ameritrade. The transaction will result in a gain on sale of approximately U.S.$725 million after tax subject to the value of Ameritrade’s share price at closing. The Bank intends to account for its investment in TD Ameritrade using the equity method of accounting. On the same day, the Bank also announced its intention to purchase 100% of Ameritrade’s Canadian brokerage operations for U.S.$60 million cash consideration. Both transactions are expected to close early in fiscal 2006 subject to Canadian and U.S. regulatory approvals and Ameritrade shareholder approval.

c) Hudson United Bancorp

On July 12, 2005, TD Banknorth announced an agreement to acquire Hudson United Bancorp (“Hudson”) for total consideration of approximately U.S.$1.9 billion, consisting of cash consideration of approximately U.S.$950 million and the remainder in TD Banknorth common shares. The cash consideration is to be funded by the sale of TD Banknorth common shares to the Bank. The transaction is expected to close early in calendar 2006 and is subject to approvals by shareholders of Hudson United and TD Banknorth as well as regulatory approvals. TD Banknorth will consolidate the financial results of Hudson. On a proforma basis, based on the number of TD Banknorth shares outstanding on June 30, 2005, the Bank’s proportionate ownership interest in TD Banknorth will decrease slightly after giving effect to the transaction. The Bank also announced its intention to at least maintain its ownership of TD Banknorth at the level prior to the acquisition of Hudson through TD Banknorth share repurchases or open market purchases, in each case subject to regulatory requirements, or to potentially increase its position as market conditions warrant.

Acquisition of TD Banknorth
For U.S. GAAP, the survival of TD Banknorth Inc., a company created to effect the migratory merger that preceded the Bank’s acquisition of TD Banknorth, has resulted in a full fair value step up of the TD Banknorth balance sheet. The impact of the step up for U.S. GAAP purposes is approximately a $2.2 billion increase to the Bank’s goodwill and intangibles offset with approximately $2 billion in non-controlling interest and $200 million in future income taxes. There is no net impact on the Bank’s U.S. GAAP net income, although intangible amortization and non-controlling interest have been adjusted. For Canadian GAAP purposes, the migratory merger is not considered substantive and only the Bank’s share of TD Banknorth assets and liabilities have been stepped up to fair value as the Bank was deemed the acquiror under the purchase method of accounting.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
As of November 1, 2004, the Bank prospectively adopted the CICA accounting guideline on the consolidation of variable interest entities. This accounting guideline harmonized Canadian GAAP with U.S. GAAP and as a result, beginning November 1, 2004 no significant Canadian/U.S. GAAP difference exists in relation to variable interest entities. Previously Canadian GAAP required consolidation of such entities only when the Bank retains substantially all the residual risks and rewards of the entity.




TD BANK FINANCIAL GROUP • THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2005
Page 30

Liabilities and Equity
As of November 1, 2004, the Bank adopted the CICA amendments to its accounting standard on financial instruments - disclosure and presentation on a retroactive basis with restatement of prior periods. As a result of these amendments, the Bank was required to classify its existing preferred shares and innovative capital structures as liabilities and their corresponding distributions as interest expense for Canadian GAAP. However, under U.S. GAAP preferred shares of the Bank (except preferred shares of the Bank’s subsidiary TD Mortgage Investment Corporation) continue to be considered equity and its innovative capital structures continue to be considered non-controlling interest. In addition, under U.S. GAAP, preferred shares of the Bank’s subsidiary, TD Mortgage Investment Corporation, continue to be presented as a non-controlling interest on the Consolidated Interim Balance Sheet, and the net income applicable to the non-controlling interest continues to be presented separately on the Consolidated Interim Statement of Income. Due to the prior period restatements for Canadian GAAP, the Bank has reclassified its adjustments to arrive at Consolidated Interim Financial Statements prepared on a U.S. GAAP basis.

Asset Retirement Obligations
As of November 1, 2004, the Bank retroactively adopted the CICA accounting standard on asset retirement obligations. This accounting standard harmonized Canadian GAAP with U.S. GAAP and as a result, beginning November 1, 2004 no significant Canadian/U.S. GAAP difference exists in relation to asset retirement obligations.



Note 13: Restructuring Costs


At the end of the second quarter 2005, the Bank restructured its global structured products businesses within Wholesale Banking to reduce focus on the less profitable and more complex activities and concentrate resources on growing the more profitable areas of the business. As a result, the Bank has recorded $37 million of pre-tax restructuring costs of which $22 million was recorded in the second quarter 2005 and $15 million in the third quarter 2005. In addition, a $46 million pre-tax loss incurred on the exit of a portfolio within the global structured products business was recorded in trading income (loss) in the third quarter 2005.



Note 14: Contingencies


During the third quarter 2005, the Bank added approximately $365 million (U.S. $300 million) to its contingent litigation reserves for Enron-related claims, to bring the total reserve for this matter to approximately $665 million. The two principal legal actions regarding Enron to which the Bank is a party are the securities class action and the bankruptcy proceeding. The Bank believes it is prudent to increase the reserve to this level; however, it is possible that additional reserves above this level could be required. Additional reserves, if required, cannot be reasonably determined for many reasons, including that other settlements are not generally appropriate for comparison purposes, the lack of consistency in other settlements and the difficulty in predicting the future actions of other parties to the litigation. Subsequent to the current quarter, the Bank agreed to settle bankruptcy court claims in this matter for approximately $160 million.

The Bank and its subsidiaries are involved in various other legal actions in the ordinary course of business, many of which are loan-related. In management’s opinion, the ultimate disposition of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Bank.



Note 15: Future Accounting Changes


Financial Instruments, Hedges and Comprehensive Income
The CICA has issued three new accounting standards - Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement, Hedges and Comprehensive Income. These standards are substantially harmonized with U.S. GAAP and are effective for the Bank beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The principal impacts of the standards are as follows:
 
Financial assets will be classified as available for sale, held to maturity, trading or will continue to be accrual accounted. Held to maturity assets will be limited to fixed maturity instruments that the Bank intends to and is able to hold to maturity and will be accounted for at amortized cost. Trading assets will continue to be accounted for at fair value with realized and unrealized gains and losses reported through net income. The remaining assets will be classified as available for sale and measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized through comprehensive income.
 
Comprehensive income will be a new component of shareholder’s equity and a new statement entitled Statement of Comprehensive Income will be added to the Bank’s primary financial statements. Comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, foreign currency translation and derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, net of income taxes.
 
For fair value hedges, where the Bank is hedging changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments, the change in the value of derivatives and hedged items will be recorded through income. For cash flow hedges where the Bank is hedging the variability in cash flows related to variable rate assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions, the effective portion of the changes in the fair values of the derivative instruments will be recorded through comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in income.

TD BANK FINANCIAL GROUP DECLARES DIVIDENDS

TORONTO - The Toronto-Dominion Bank today announced that a dividend in an amount of forty-two cents (42¢) per fully paid common share in the capital stock of the Bank has been declared for the quarter ending October 31, 2005, payable on and after October 31, 2005 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2005. This represents an increase in the quarterly dividend of two cents or five per cent compared with last quarter.

In lieu of receiving their dividends in cash, holders of TD Bank common shares may choose to have their dividends reinvested in additional common shares of the Bank in accordance with the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”).
