Impairment Losses Recognized 
 
At the end of each financial reporting period, the Bank determines whether there is objective evidence of impairment for
each available-for-sale security. During the quarter ended July 31, 2014, $2 million in impairment losses ($11 million for
the quarter ended July 31, 2013) was recognized in Gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, net in the Consolidated
Statement of Income. For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, $6 million in impairment losses ($28 million for the nine
months ended July 31, 2013) was recognized. In addition, during the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, no amount was
reversed in the Consolidated Statement of Income to recognize subsequent increases in the fair value of previously impaired
debt securities. 
 
Unrealized Gross Losses 
 
As at July 31, 2014 and as at October 31, 2013, the Bank concluded that the unrealized losses on available-for-sale
securities were mainly due to market price fluctuations and to changes in foreign exchange rates and that there is no
objective evidence of impairment requiring an impairment loss to be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income. 
 
Master Asset Vehicles 
 
As at July 31, 2014, the face value of the restructured notes of the MAV conduits and of the other restructured notes held
by the Bank was $1,527 million ($1,727 million as at October 31, 2013), of which $1,294 million was designated as
Securities at fair value through profit or loss under the fair value option, and an amount of $233 million was classified
in Available-for-sale securities ($1,506 million designated as Securities at fair value through profit or loss and $221
million classified in Available-for-sale securities as at October 31, 2013). The change in the face value of the
restructured notes of the MAV conduits during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was mainly due to capital repayments and
disposals. During the nine months ended July 31, 2014, the Bank participated in two optional redemption unwind processes
for restructured notes of the MAV II conduits and disposed of certain notes, classified in Securities at fair value through
profit or loss, for a face value of $199 million. In exchange, the Bank received $179 million in cash and liquidation trust
units with a fair value of $9 million as at July 31, 2014 and classified these units in Available-for-sale securities. 
 
The Bank has committed to contribute $835 million ($886 million as at October 31, 2013) to a margin funding facility
related to the MAV conduits in order to finance potential collateral calls. As at July 31, 2014 and as at October 31, 2013,
no amount had been advanced by the Bank. 
 
NOTE 5 - SECURITIES (cont.) 
 
Establishing Fair Value 
 
The carrying value of the restructured notes of the MAV conduits and of the other restructured notes held by the Bank in an
investment portfolio as at July 31, 2014, designated as Securities at fair value through profit or loss, was $1,203
million, and $78 million was classified in Available-for-sale securities ($1,293 million designated as Securities at fair
value through profit or loss and $68 million classified in Available-for-sale securities as at October 31, 2013). The notes
held in an investment portfolio with one or more embedded derivatives were designated as Securities at fair value through
profit and loss under the fair value option, and the other notes were classified in Available-for-sale securities. 
 
In establishing the fair value of the restructured notes of the MAV conduits and ineligible assets, the Bank applied the
same methodologies used as at October 31, 2013. For additional information, see Note 6 to the audited annual consolidated
financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013. In addition, the Bank adjusted its assumption on the liquidity of
the MAV I notes to reflect market conditions; for the restructured notes of the MAV I and MAV II conduits for Class C, it
also adjusted its weighting for broker quotes. During the quarter ended July 31, 2014, revenues totalling $47 million (a
negligible amount for the quarter ended July 31, 2013) were recognized in Trading revenues (losses) in the Consolidated
Statement of Income to reflect a rise in the fair value of the restructured notes. For the nine months ended July 31, 2014,
the rise in the fair value of the restructured notes amounted to $92 million ($151 million for the nine-month period ended
July 31, 2013). The carrying value of the restructured notes, designated as Securities at fair value through profit or
loss, was within estimated fair value ranges as at July 31, 2014. The credit ratings of the restructured notes of the MAV
conduits have not changed from October 31, 2013. 
 
The Bank's valuation was based on its assessment of the conditions prevailing as at July 31, 2014, which may change in the
future. The most significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the restructured notes are observable discount
rates, the credit ratings of the notes and the broker quotes on the MAV II Class A-1, A-2, B and C notes. Furthermore,
there may be valuation uncertainty resulting from the choice of valuation model used. The sensitivities of these
assumptions on fair value as at July 31, 2014 were as follows: 
 
-    A 10-basis-point change in the discount rate would result in a $6 million decrease or increase in the fair value. 
 
-    A decrease in the credit rating by one letter grade would result in a decrease in the fair value between a range of $4
million to $7 million. 
 
-    An increase in the credit rating by one letter grade would result in an increase in the fair value between a range of
$2 million to $3 million. 
 
-    A 100-basis-point change in the liquidity premium spread would result in a $12 million decrease or increase in the
fair value. 
 
-    A 10% change in the weighting used to determine the discount rate would result in a $2 million decrease or increase in
the fair value. 
 
-    A 10% change in the weighting attributed to the discount rate and the broker quotes on the MAV II Class A-1, A-2, B
and C notes would result in a $7 million decrease or increase in the fair value. 
 
-    A 1% change in the broker quotes on the MAV II Class A-1, A-2, B and C notes would result in a $4 million decrease or
increase in the fair value. 
 
Determining the fair value of restructured notes of the MAV conduits is complex and involves an extensive process that
includes the use of quantitative modelling and relevant assumptions. Possible changes that could have a significant impact
on the future value include (1) changes in the value of the underlying assets, (2) changes regarding the liquidity of the
restructured notes of the MAV conduits which are not currently traded on an active market, (3) the impacts of a marked and
prolonged economic slowdown in North America and certain European countries, and (4) changes in legislation.

(1)        Business credit portfolios are closely monitored and a monthly watchlist of problem commitments is produced. The
watchlist is analyzed by the loan portfolio managers concerned, who then submit a report to Credit Risk Management. 
 
(2)        A loan is past due when the counterparty has not made a payment the day of the contractual expiry date. 
 
(3)        The collective allowance on non-impaired loans for credit risk was created taking into account the Bank's
overall credit portfolio.

(1)       As at July 31, 2014, the fair value of financial collateral held against loans that were past due but not
impaired was $29 million ($7 million as at October 31, 2013). 
 
(2)       Comprises fully secured loans for which, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable assurance that
principal and interest will ultimately be collected. Credit card receivables are included in this category because they are
written off only when payment is 180 days in arrears.

(1)       The collective allowance on non-impaired loans was established taking into account the Bank's overall credit
portfolio, except for a $3 million amount as at October 31, 2012 for loans and credit facilities secured by restructured
notes of the MAV conduits. 
 
NOTE 7 - FINANCIAL ASSETS TRANSFERRED BUT NOT DERECOGNIZED 
 
In the normal course of its business, the Bank enters into transactions in which it transfers financial assets such as
securities or loans directly to third parties, in particular structured entities. In some of those transactions, the Bank
retains substantially all of the risks and rewards related to those financial assets. The risks include credit risk,
interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, prepayment risk and other price risks, whereas the rewards include income
streams associated with the financial assets. As such, those financial assets are not derecognized and the transactions are
treated as collateralized or secured borrowings. The nature of those transactions is described below. 
 
The following table provides additional information about the nature of the transferred financial assets that do not
qualify for derecognition and the associated liabilities.
