Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Plan Administrator

The TD Wholesale Banking USA 401(k) Plan

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The TD Wholesale Banking USA 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) (formerly known as The Toronto-Dominion Bank, U.S. A. Division 401(k) Employee Retirement Savings Plan) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits 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 the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2010 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

The TD Wholesale Banking USA 401(k) Plan

 

Notes to Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2010

 

1. Description of the Plan

 

The TD Wholesale Banking USA 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) (formerly known as The Toronto-Dominion Bank, U.S.A. Division 401(k) Employee Retirement Savings Plan) is a defined contribution plan administered by Toronto-Dominion Bank. The following provides only general information and participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

(a)          General

 

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of TD Securities (USA) LLC and other affiliates that adopt the Plan (the “Firm”) who become eligible on the later of (i) the first day of the month following attainment of age 21 or (ii) the first day of active employment. In accordance with the Plan document dated January 1, 2009, effective January 1, 2009, employees become eligible on the first day of the month following completion of one month of employment. An employee becomes eligible for Matching Employer Contributions and Core Contributions, as defined in the Plan document, on the first day of the month in which they complete one Year of Service (or for an employee who was hired prior to January 1, 2009, the first day of the month after he/she completes 90 days of employment). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 

A Participant must complete at least 1,000 Hours of Service during the year and must be employed by the Firm on the last day of the year to receive that year’s Core Contribution.

 

Enrollment in the Plan is automatic on the later of (i) the first day of the month following attainment of age 21 or (ii) the first day of active employment. In accordance with the Plan document dated January 1, 2009, effective January 1, 2009, enrollment is automatic on the first day of the month following completion of one month of employment. The automatic rate of Compensation Reduction Contribution, as defined in the Plan document, is 4% and increases automatically by 1% each January 1 (but not in excess of 8%). Participants may change their Contribution Reduction Contribution, or opt out of the Plan at any time.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

(b)          Plan Administration

 

The Plan is administered by The Toronto-Dominion Bank. The Toronto-Dominion Bank Financial Group U.S. Retirement Committee (the “Committee” or the “Plan Administrator”) is the named fiduciary of the Plan. The Committee has assigned all the operating and record keeping responsibilities of the Plan to T. Rowe Price, which also serves as Trustee of the Plan.

 

(c)          Contributions

 

Each year, Participants may contribute up to 50% of their eligible Compensation, as defined in the Plan document. Participant contributions are limited to $16,500 and $15,500 for Plan Years 2010 and 2009, respectively. Participants who are age 50 or older can make additional contributions called “Catch-up Contributions.” The Firm provides for Matching Employer Contributions and Core Contributions as described above. Both the Matching Employer Contributions and Core Contributions are subject to certain Internal Revenue Code dollar limitations.

 

The Matching Employer Contribution is equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Participant’s Compensation Reduction Contributions up to three percent (3%) of the Participant’s eligible Compensation plus fifty percent (50%) of the Participant’s Compensation Reduction Contributions on the next three percent (3%) of the Participant’s eligible Compensation so that the maximum Matching Employer Contribution is four and one-half percent (4.5%) of the Participant’s eligible Compensation.

 

The Core Contribution is determined based on the sum of a Participant’s age and service (both calculated in whole years on the first day of each year) in accordance with the following schedule:

 

Years of Age +
Years of Service

(d)          Participant Accounts

 

Each Participant’s account is credited and charged with the Participant’s contributions, benefit payments and allocations of (i) the Firm’s contributions (ii) Plan earnings and losses, and (iii) expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. Forfeited balances of terminated participants’ non-vested accounts are used to reduce future Firm contributions. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.

 

Vesting

 

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, Matching Employer Contributions, and earnings thereon.

 

Each Participant whose employment is terminated prior to his Normal Retirement Date, as defined by the Plan, and for any reason other than death or becoming disabled, shall have a non-forfeitable interest in the value of his Core Contributions and earnings thereon in accordance with the following schedule:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

 

(e)          Notes Receivable from Participants

 

Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2010 or 2009. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be a distribution, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

 

Participants may borrow from their fund accounts, excluding Core Contribution and prior plan Profit Sharing Contribution accounts. The minimum amount that a Participant may borrow is $1,000 and the maximum is equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the account balance. Loans must be paid over a period of up to 5 years (up to 15 years for the purchase of a principal residence). The loans are secured by the balance in the Participant’s account and bear interest at a fixed rate established by the Plan Administrator commensurate with the interest rate set by commercial financial institutions for consumer loans secured by a passbook or other savings as collateral. Principal and interest is paid through payroll deductions.

 

(f)            Payment of Benefits

 

A Participant may elect, at any time, to withdraw all or a portion of his Rollover Contributions, including earnings on those contributions. After attaining age 59½, a Participant may withdraw all or part of his Compensation Reduction Contributions plus earnings on those contributions. After attaining age 65, a Participant may withdraw all or part of any contributions to his accounts plus earnings on those contributions. In the event of an IRS qualifying hardship, a Participant may withdraw his Compensation Reduction Contributions, Matching Employer Contributions allocated before 2009, Rollover Contributions and certain earnings on those contributions.

The TD Wholesale Banking USA 401(k) Plan

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

1. Description of the Plan (continued)

 

Upon termination of employment or retirement, a participant can elect to take a lump sum distribution or leave their account balance in the Plan. If the participant’s vested account balance is less than $1,000, the participant is paid a single lump sum equal to the value of his or her vested account.  In the event of death, the balance in the participant’s account is paid to the designated beneficiary as provided by the Plan.

 

(g)         Participant Investment Options

 

Each participant has the option of allocating employee and employer contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan.  Investment options include mutual funds, a common collective trust fund (the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Common Trust Fund, the T. Rowe Price Equity Index Trust) and the common stock of The Toronto-Dominion Bank.

 

(h)         Forfeitures

 

Amounts in which the Participant does not have a vested interest shall be forfeited by the Participant after five consecutive one year breaks in service, as defined by the Plan document. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately $72,000 and $60,000 respectively, of forfeitures from terminated employees were maintained in a separate account and are available to offset future contributions or for the payment of plan expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 employer contributions were reduced by approximately $38,000 and $0, respectively, from forfeited accounts.

 

(i)            Voting Rights

 

Each participant is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to The Toronto-Dominion Bank shares allocated to his or her account and is notified by the transfer agent prior to the time that such rights are to be exercised.  The Trustee is permitted to vote in the best interest of plan participants’ shares for which instructions have not been given by a participant.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)          Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Certain 2009 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 financial statement presentation.

 

(b)          Management Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(c)          Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The common stock of The Toronto-Dominion Bank is valued at the quoted market price on the last business day of the Plan year. Mutual funds and common trust funds are valued at the net asset or unit value of shares/units held by the Plan at year end. Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are adjusted to contract value for financial statement purposes. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized and unrealized appreciation in fair value of investments includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.

The TD Wholesale Banking USA 401(k) Plan

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund invests in a variety of investment contracts such as traditional guaranteed investment contracts issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions and other investment products with similar characteristics. As required by US GAAP, investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As required by US GAAP, the statement of net assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts with an adjustment from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

 

(d)          New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 amended ASC 820 to clarify certain existing fair value disclosures and require a number of additional disclosures. The guidance in ASU 2010-06 clarified that disclosures should be presented separately for each “class” of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and provided guidance on how to determine the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities to be presented. ASU 2010-06 also clarified the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, ASU 2010-06 introduced new requirements to disclose the amounts (on a gross basis) and reasons for any significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy and present information regarding the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 assets and liabilities on a gross basis. With the exception of the requirement to present changes in Level 3 measurements on a gross basis, which is delayed until 2011, the guidance in ASU 2010-06 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. Since ASU 2010-06 only affects fair value measurement disclosures, adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not affect on the Plan’s net assets available for benefits or its changes in net assets available for benefits.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

In September 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-25, Reporting Loans to Participants by Defined Contribution Pension Plans, (ASU 2010-25). ASU 2010-25 requires participant loans to be measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest and classified as notes receivable from participants. Previously loans were measured at fair value and classified as investments. ASU 2010-25 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2010 and is required to be applied retrospectively. Adoption of ASU 2010-25 did not change the value of participant loans from the amount previously reported as of December 31, 2009. Participant loans have been reclassified to notes receivable from participants as of December 31, 2009.

 

(e)          Payments of Benefits

 

Benefit payments to participants are recorded when paid.

 

(f)            Administrative Expense

 

In accordance with the Plan’s provisions, all eligible administrative expenses may be paid by the Plan unless paid by the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, administrative expenses that were accrued for or paid directly by the Plan totaled $40,334 and $1,415, respectively. Fees relating to recordkeeping services and investment management services were paid by the Plan participants indirectly through the Plan’s investment return.

 

3. Income Taxes

 

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated July 20, 2010, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.

 

US GAAP requires plan management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan

 

11



 

The TD Wholesale Banking USA 401(k) Plan

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2010, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan Administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2007.

 

4. Administration of Plan Assets

 

The Plan’s assets, which include The Toronto-Dominion Bank common shares, are held by the Trustee of the Plan. T. Rowe Price serves as the service provider and trustee for the Plan.  T. Rowe Price serves as a directed trustee who will act based on direction of the Plan Administrator or participants, as appropriate.

 

Firm contributions are held by the Trustee, who invests contributions received, reinvests interest and dividend income, and processes distributions to participants. Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the company or its subsidiaries. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Administrative expenses for the Trustee’s fees are paid directly by the Firm. Other Plan expenses such as loan recordkeeping fees and investment fees are paid by the Plan via reductions of participant account balances.

6. Fair Value Measurements

 

US GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value.  That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priory to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under U.S. GAAP are described below:

 

Level 1                                Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2                                Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

 

·                  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

·                  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;

·                  Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are used in the valuation of the asset or liability (e.g., interest rate and yield curve quotes at commonly quoted intervals);

·                  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3                                Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Level 3 inputs include management’s own assessment about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk).

 

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

6. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2010 as compared to those used at December 31, 2009:

 

Common stocks: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

 

Mutual funds and common trust funds: Valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the Plan at year end as reported in the active market.

 

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

 

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan’s assets at fair value, or amounts that approximate fair value, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009:

7. Related-Party Transactions

 

The Plan owned 101,157 shares of the Employer Stock Fund valued at $7,516,951 at December 31, 2010 and 91,788 shares of the Employer Stock Fund valued at $5,756,955 at December 31, 2009.

 

Certain Plan investments were managed and held in trust by T. Rowe Price during 2010 and 2009. This qualifies T. Rowe Price as a party in interest.

 

8. Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan and its participants invest in various investment securities. The investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is probable that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participant account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

 

9. Plan Termination

 

Although it has not expressed the intent to do so, the Firm has the right under the Plan, to discontinue its contribution at any time and terminate the Plan subject to ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

10. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

2010

$

16,009,991

 

$

The accompanying financial statements present fully benefit-responsive investment contracts at contract value. The Form 5500 requires fully benefit-responsive investment contracts to be reported at fair value. Therefore, the adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts represents a reconciling item.

 

11. Subsequent Events

 

The Plan has evaluated the impact of events that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2010 through June 15, 2011, the date the financial statements were available for issuance. Based on this evaluation, the Plan has determined no events were required to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements.
