FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In the normal course of business, we, in an effort to help keep our shareholders and the public informed about our operations, may from time to time issue or make certain statements, either in writing or orally, that are or contain forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions made by or to be made by us, projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, profitability or other aspects of operating results or other future developments in our affairs or the industry in which we conduct business. Forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions.

Although we believe that the anticipated results or other expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that those results or expectations will be attained. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions (some of which are beyond our control), and as a result actual results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following, as well as those discussed elsewhere herein:


	•	our investments in our businesses and in related technology could require additional incremental spending, and might not produce expected deposit and loan growth and anticipated contributions to our earnings;

	•	general economic or industry conditions could be less favorable than expected, resulting in a deterioration in credit quality, a change in the allowance for loan and lease losses or a reduced demand for credit or fee-based products and services;

	•	changes in the domestic interest rate environment could reduce net interest income and could increase credit losses;

	•	the conditions of the securities markets could change, which could adversely affect, among other things, the value or credit quality of our assets, the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet our liquidity needs and our ability to originate loans and leases;

	•	changes in the extensive laws, regulations and policies governing financial holding companies and their subsidiaries could alter our business environment or affect our operations;

	•	the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems, on which we are highly dependent, could present operational issues or require significant capital spending;

	•	competitive pressures could intensify and affect our profitability, including as a result of continued industry consolidation, the increased availability of financial services from non-banks, technological developments such as the internet or bank regulatory reform;

	•	acquisitions may result in large one-time charges to income, may not produce revenue enhancements or cost savings at levels or within time frames originally anticipated and may result in unforeseen integration difficulties; and

	•	acts or threats of terrorism and actions taken by the United States or other governments as a result of such acts or threats, including possible military action, could further adversely affect business and economic conditions in the United States generally and in our principal markets, which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance and that of our borrowers and on the financial markets and the price of our common stock.

You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events except to the extent required by federal securities laws.

PART I.


Item 1.	*Business*

General

We, TD Banknorth Inc., are a Delaware corporation and a registered bank/financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. At December 31, 2005, we had consolidated assets of $32.1 billion and consolidated shareholders’ equity of $6.5 billion and, based on total assets at that date, we were the 29th largest commercial banking organization in the United States.

Our principal asset is all of the capital stock of TD Banknorth, NA, a national bank which was initially formed as a Maine-chartered savings bank in the mid-19th century. Through TD Banknorth, NA we offer a full range of banking services and products to individuals, businesses and governments throughout our market areas, including commercial, consumer, trust, investment advisory and insurance agency services. TD Banknorth, NA operates banking offices in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and eastern New York and had an aggregate of 396 banking offices in these states at December 31, 2005. For information regarding the recent expansion of our business through the acquisition of Hudson United Bancorp (“Hudson United”), see “— Recent Development” below.

We are a majority-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, a Canadian-chartered bank. In Canada and around the world, The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries, which are collectively known as TD Bank Financial Group, serve more than 14 million customers in four key businesses operating in a number of locations in key financial centers around the globe: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, including TD Canada Trust; Wealth Management, including TD Waterhouse and an investment in TD Ameritrade; Wholesale Banking, including TD Securities; and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking through TD Banknorth. TD Bank Financial Group also ranks among the world’s leading on-line financial services firms, with more than 4.5 million on-line customers. TD Bank Financial Group had CDN$365 billion in assets at October 31, 2005, the end of its most recent fiscal year. The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s common shares trade on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges under the symbol “TD.”

Unless the context otherwise requires, the words “TD Banknorth,” “we,” “our” and “us” herein refer to TD Banknorth Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Business

Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public through our banking offices and using these deposits to originate loans secured by first mortgage liens on commercial real estate, commercial business loans and leases, consumer loans, loans secured by first mortgage liens on existing single-family (one-to-four units) residential real estate and existing multi-family (over four units) residential real estate, and construction loans. We also provide various mortgage banking services and investment management services, as well as, through subsidiaries of TD Banknorth, NA, engage in equipment leasing, investment planning, securities brokerage and insurance agency activities. We also invest in investment securities and other permitted investments.

We derive our income principally from interest charged on loans and leases and, to a lesser extent, from interest and dividends earned on investments. We also derive income from non-interest sources such as fees received in connection with various lending services, deposit services, wealth management services, investment planning services and merchant and electronic banking services, as well as insurance agency commissions and, from time to time, gains on the sale of assets. Our principal expenses are interest expense on deposits and borrowings, operating expenses, provisions for loan and lease losses and income tax expense. Funds for activities are provided principally by deposits, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, securities sold under repurchase agreements, amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans, maturities and sales of investment securities and other sources.

Through TD Banknorth, NA we provide extensive wealth management services to our customers. We offer employee benefit trust services in which we act as trustee, custodian, administrator and/or investment

advisor, among other things, for employee benefit plans and for corporate, self-employed, municipal and not-for-profit employers located throughout our market areas. In addition, we serve as trustee of both living trusts and trusts under wills and in this capacity hold, account for and manage financial assets, real estate and special assets. Custody, estate settlement and fiduciary tax services, among others, also are offered by us. Assets held in a fiduciary capacity by us are not included in our consolidated balance sheet for financial reporting purposes.

We are subject to extensive regulation and supervision under federal banking laws. For additional information in this regard, see “Supervision and Regulation” below.

Subsidiaries and Other Equity Investments

Other than TD Banknorth, NA, our only active direct subsidiary at December 31, 2005 was Northgroup Captive Insurance, Inc., which was formed in 2002 to self-insure against certain of our risks. At this date we also owned all of the outstanding common securities of each of Peoples Heritage Capital Trust I, Banknorth Capital Trust I, Banknorth Capital Trust II, Ipswich Statutory Capital Trust I, CCBT Statutory Trust , BFD Preferred Capital Trust I and BFD Preferred Capital Trust II, each of which is a financing vehicle which was formed to facilitate borrowings by us or companies acquired by us. For additional information on these trusts, see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 hereof.

Set forth below is a brief description of certain of our indirect non-banking subsidiaries and certain other equity investments.

Insurance Agency Activities. We conduct insurance agency activities through TD Banknorth Insurance Agency, Inc., which conducts business in (i) Vermont, (ii) New Hampshire, (iii) Massachusetts, (iv) Connecticut, (v) Maine and (vi) upstate New York , and holds non-resident licenses in many other states throughout the country.

Investment Planning and Securities Brokerage Activities. We conduct investment planning and securities brokerage activities, as well as offer investments in mutual funds and annuities, throughout our market areas through Bancnorth Investment Group, Inc., an unaffiliated company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Primevest Financial Services, Inc. (“Primevest”). Through TD Banknorth, NA, and Bancnorth Investment Group, Inc., we offer these services to individuals and small businesses from offices located in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York and Connecticut. Insurance and fixed annuities commissions are received through TD Banknorth, NA’s subsidiary Bancnorth Investment Planning Group, Inc. and its subsidiary Bancnorth Investment and Insurance Agency, Inc.

Recent Development

Completed Acquisition. On January 31, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Hudson United, a registered bank holding company which conducted business through 204 banking offices located in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. At the date of acquisition, Hudson United had consolidated assets of $8.8 billion and consolidated shareholders’ equity of $518 million.

The acquisition was effected by means of the merger of Hudson United with and into TD Banknorth (the “Merger”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 11, 2005, among TD Banknorth, Hudson United and, solely with respect to Article X of the Agreement, The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the shares of Hudson United common stock which were outstanding immediately prior to completion of the Merger were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of $941.8 million in cash and 32.8 million shares of TD Banknorth common stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional share interests. In addition, upon completion of the Merger, outstanding Hudson United stock options were converted into the right to acquire an aggregate of 272,272 shares of TD Banknorth common stock at a weighted average price of $19.73 per share. On January 31, 2006, we also sold 29.6 million shares of TD Banknorth common stock at $31.79 per share, or an aggregate of $941.8 million, to The Toronto-Dominion Bank pursuant to Article X of the Agreement in order to fund the cash payable in the Merger.

In connection with the acquisition of Hudson United, we acquired the following subsidiaries of Hudson United Bank, which become subsidiaries of TD Banknorth, NA upon the merger of Hudson United Bank with and into TD Banknorth, NA immediately following the Merger.


	•	Flatiron Credit Company, Inc. (“Flatiron”) is a Delaware corporation that, directly and through subsidiaries, engages in insurance premium financing, which involves the lending of funds to finance the payment of insurance premiums. Flatiron conducts business nationwide from its headquarters in Denver, Colorado, as well as from offices in Massachusetts, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania and Illinois. Flatiron and its subsidiaries are regulated and licensed by various state banking and insurance regulators.

	•	United Cogen Fuel LLC was formed in August 2004 for the purpose of acquiring, through foreclosure, the real property and personal property assets of a biomass cogeneration facility located in Kenansville, North Carolina. We have agreed to divest our interest in this subsidiary. At the date of acquisition by us this investment and the investments described in the following bullet point had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $16 million.

	•	United Gasco, LLC and UC Investments, Inc. are engaged in the extraction and conversion of landfill gas into electricity, which is sold to utilities. Both subsidiaries were acquired by Hudson United in May 2003 from their former parent company in a consensual foreclosure and were retained by Hudson United to obtain tax credits under the Internal Revenue Code. We have agreed to divest our interests in these subsidiaries.

In addition, we acquired the following financing vehicles of Hudson United: HUBCO Capital Trust I, HUBCO Capital Trust II, Hudson Untied Capital Trust I, Hudson United Capital Trust II and Hudson United Statutory Trust I.

For additional information, see Note 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

Restructuring Transactions. In January 2006, we announced a balance sheet restructuring program to be implemented in connection with the acquisition of Hudson United. Under this restructuring $2.6 billion of mortgage-backed securities with a weighted average yield of 4.70% are to be sold and replaced with shorter duration investments with less extension/prepayment risk. Because of this decision, we recorded an impairment loss of $45 million ($29.3 million after-tax) on these securities in the fourth quarter of 2005.

To further reduce our exposure to increases in interest rates, subsequent to the acquisition of Hudson United, we have identified $2.7 billion of investment securities with a weighted average yield of 4.94% acquired from Hudson United to be sold with the proceeds used to repay an equivalent amount of borrowings.

Executive Restructuring. In January 2006 we recorded a restructuring charge of $9.8 million ($6.8 million after-tax) as a result of a management restructuring implemented in connection with our acquisition of Hudson United. These costs relate primarily to severance benefits pursuant to retention agreements.

Competition

We are subject to vigorous competition in all aspects and areas of our business from banks and other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, savings banks, finance companies, credit unions and other providers of financial services, such as money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, consumer finance companies and insurance companies. We also compete with non-financial institutions, including retail stores that maintain their own credit programs and governmental agencies that make available low-cost or guaranteed loans to certain borrowers. Certain of these competitors are larger financial institutions with substantially greater resources, lending limits, larger branch systems and a wider array of commercial banking services than us. Competition from both bank and non-bank organizations will continue.

The banking industry is experiencing rapid changes in technology. In addition to improving customer services, effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Technological advances are likely to enhance competition by enabling more companies to provide financial resources. As a result, our future success will depend in part on our ability to address our customers’ needs by using technology. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively develop new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products to our customers. Many of our competitors have far greater resources than we have to invest in technology.

Employees

We had approximately 7,500 full-time equivalent employees as of December 31, 2005. None of these employees is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and we believe that we enjoy good relations with our personnel.

Supervision and Regulation

The following discussion sets forth certain of the material elements of the regulatory framework applicable to U.S. bank/financial holding companies and their subsidiaries and provides certain specific information relevant to TD Banknorth. To the extent that the following information describes statutory and regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. A change in applicable statutes, regulations or regulatory policy may have a material effect on our business.

General. TD Banknorth currently is registered as a bank holding company and a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. As such, we are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Board. We also are registered as a Maine financial institution holding company under Maine law and as such are subject to regulation and examination by the Superintendent of Financial Institution of the State of Maine. TD Banknorth, NA is a national bank subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), its chartering authority, and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), which insures TD Banknorth, NA’s deposits to the maximum extent permitted by law. The regulatory framework for bank/

financial holding companies and their banking subsidiaries is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the insurance funds administered by the FDIC and not for the protection of security holders.

Financial Modernization. The Bank Holding Company Act permits bank holding companies to become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature and which are not authorized for bank holding companies. A bank holding company may become a financial holding company if each of its subsidiary banks is “well capitalized” under the prompt corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the applicable regulations thereunder, is “well managed” and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act, by filing a declaration with the Federal Reserve Board that the bank holding company seeks to become a financial holding company. TD Banknorth became a financial holding company effective January 25, 2002.

No regulatory approval is required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board. The Bank Holding Company Act defines “financial in nature” to include securities underwriting, dealing and market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities; and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. A national bank also may engage, subject to limitations on investment, in activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting, insurance company portfolio investment, real estate development and real estate investment, through a financial subsidiary of the bank, if the bank is well capitalized, well managed and has at least a “satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating. Subsidiary banks of a financial holding company or national banks with financial subsidiaries must continue to be well capitalized and well managed in order to continue to engage in activities that are financial in nature without regulatory actions or restrictions, which could include divestiture of the financial in nature subsidiary or subsidiaries. In addition, a financial holding company or a bank may not acquire a company that is engaged in activities that are financial in nature unless each of the subsidiary banks of the financial holding company or the bank has a Community Reinvestment Act rating of “satisfactory” or better.

Bank Acquisitions. Pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act, we are required to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before acquiring more than 5% of any class of voting stock of any bank that is not already majority owned by us. Pursuant to the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “Interstate Banking and Branching Act”), a bank holding company could acquire banks in states other than its home state beginning September 29, 1995, without regard to the permissibility of such acquisitions under state law, but subject to any state requirement that the bank has been organized and operating for a minimum period of time, not to exceed five years, and the requirement that the bank holding company, prior to or following the proposed acquisition, controls no more than 10% of the total amount of deposits of insured depository institutions in the United States and less than 30% of such deposits in that state (or such lesser or greater amount set by state law).

The Interstate Banking and Branching Act also authorizes banks to merge across state lines, subject to certain restrictions, thereby creating interstate branches. Pursuant to the Interstate Banking and Branching Act, a bank also may open new branches in a state in which it does not already have banking operations if the state enacts a law permitting such de novo branching.

Capital and Operational Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the FDIC have issued substantially similar risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to U.S. banking organizations such as TD Banknorth and TD Banknorth, NA. In addition, those regulatory agencies may from time to time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the minimum levels, whether because of its financial condition or actual or anticipated growth. The Federal Reserve Board risk-based guidelines define a three-tier capital framework. “Tier 1 capital” generally consists of common and qualifying preferred stockholders’ equity, less certain intangibles and other adjustments. “Tier 2 capital” and “Tier 3 capital” generally consist of subordinated and other qualifying debt, preferred stock that does not qualify as Tier 1 capital and the allowance for credit losses up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

The sum of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 capital, less investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, represents qualifying “total capital,” at least 50% of which must consist of Tier 1 capital. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital and total capital by risk-weighted assets. Assets and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to one of four categories of risk weights, based primarily on relative credit risk. The minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is 4% and the minimum total risk-based capital ratio is 8%. At December 31, 2005, our Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios under these guidelines were 8.63% and 11.73%, respectively.

The “leverage ratio” requirement is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted average total assets. Although the stated minimum ratio is 3%, most banking organizations are required to maintain ratios of at least 100 to 200 basis points above 3%. At December 31, 2005, our leverage ratio was 7.07%.

Federal bank regulatory agencies require banking organizations that engage in significant trading activity to calculate a capital charge for market risk. Significant trading activity means trading activity of at least 10% of total assets or $1 billion, whichever is smaller, calculated on a consolidated basis for bank holding companies. Federal bank regulators may apply the market risk measure to other banks and bank holding companies as the agency deems necessary or appropriate for safe and sound banking practices. Each agency may exclude organizations that it supervises that otherwise meet the criteria under certain circumstances. The market risk charge will be included in the calculation of an organization’s risk-based capital ratios.

Under applicable laws and regulations, there are five capital categories for insured depository institutions (“well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized”) and the respective U.S. federal regulatory agencies have implemented systems for “prompt corrective action” for insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements within such categories. Applicable laws and regulations impose progressively more restrictive constraints on operations, management and capital distributions, depending on the category in which an institution is classified. Failure to meet the capital guidelines also could subject a banking institution to capital raising requirements. An “undercapitalized” bank must develop a capital restoration plan and its parent holding company must guarantee that bank’s compliance with the plan. The liability of the parent holding company under any such guarantee is limited to the lesser of 5% of the bank’s assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount needed to comply with the plan. Furthermore, in the event of the bankruptcy of the parent holding company, such guarantee would take priority over the parent’s general unsecured creditors. In addition, the various regulatory agencies are required to prescribe certain non-capital standards for safety and soundness related generally to operations and management, asset quality and executive compensation and may take regulatory action against a financial institution that does not meet such standards.

The various federal bank regulatory agencies have adopted substantially similar regulations that define the five capital categories referred to above, using the total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios as the relevant capital measures. Such regulations establish various degrees of corrective action to be taken when an institution is considered undercapitalized. Under the regulations, a “well capitalized” institution must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a total capital ratio of at least 10% and a leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to a capital directive order. An “adequately capitalized” institution must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 4%, a total capital ratio of at least 8% and a leverage ratio of at least 4%, or 3% in some cases. Under these guidelines, TD Banknorth, NA is considered “well capitalized.”

The Federal bank regulatory agencies also have adopted regulations which mandate that regulators take into consideration concentrations of credit risk and risks from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution’s ability to manage those risks, when determining the adequacy of an institution’s capital. That evaluation will be made as part of the institution’s regular safety and soundness examination. Banking agencies also have adopted final regulations requiring regulators to consider interest rate risk (when the interest rate sensitivity of an institution’s assets does not match the sensitivity of its liabilities or its off-balance sheet position) in the determination of a bank’s capital adequacy. Concurrently, banking agencies have proposed a methodology for evaluating interest rate risk. The banking agencies do not intend to establish an explicit risk-based capital charge for interest rate risk but will continue to assess capital adequacy for interest rate risk

under a risk assessment approach based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors and have provided guidance on prudent interest rate risk management practices.

Distributions. We derive funds for cash distributions to our stockholders primarily from dividends received from our banking subsidiary. TD Banknorth, NA is subject to various regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain capital above regulatory minimums. The appropriate U.S. federal regulatory authority is authorized to determine under certain circumstances relating to the financial condition of the bank or bank/financial holding company that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice and to prohibit payment thereof.

Our right and the rights of our stockholders and creditors to participate in any distribution of the assets or earnings of our subsidiaries is subject to the prior claims of creditors of such subsidiaries.

“Source of Strength” Policy. According to Federal Reserve Board policy, bank/financial holding companies are expected to act as a source of financial strength to each subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support each such subsidiary. This support may be required at times when a bank/financial holding company may not be able to provide such support. Similarly, under the cross-guarantee provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, in the event of a loss suffered or anticipated by the FDIC — either as a result of default of a banking or thrift subsidiary of a bank/financial holding company such as TD Banknorth or related to FDIC assistance provided to a subsidiary in danger of default — the other banking subsidiaries of such bank/financial holding company may be assessed for the FDIC’s loss, subject to certain exceptions.

Community Investment and Consumer Protection Laws. In connection with its lending activities, TD Banknorth, NA is subject to a variety of federal laws designed to protect borrowers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy and population. Included among these are the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, Truth-in-Lending Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act and Community Reinvestment Act.

The Community Reinvestment Act requires insured institutions to define the communities that they serve, identify the credit needs of those communities and adopt and implement a “Community Reinvestment Act Statement” pursuant to which they offer credit products and take other actions that respond to the credit needs of the community. The responsible federal banking regulator must conduct regular Community Reinvestment Act examinations of insured financial institutions and assign to them a Community Reinvestment Act rating of “outstanding,” “satisfactory,” “needs improvement” or “unsatisfactory.” The current Community Reinvestment Act rating of TD Banknorth, NA, which is from an examination in 2001, is “outstanding.”

Miscellaneous. TD Banknorth, NA is subject to certain restrictions on loans to TD Banknorth or its non-bank subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or securities thereof, on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower, and on the issuance of a guarantee or letter of credit on behalf of TD Banknorth or its non-bank subsidiaries. TD Banknorth, NA also is subject to certain restrictions on most types of transactions with TD Banknorth or its non-bank subsidiaries, requiring that the terms of such transactions be substantially equivalent to terms of similar transactions with non-affiliated firms.

Regulatory Enforcement Authority. The enforcement powers available to federal banking regulators is substantial and includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders and to initiate injunctive actions against banking organizations and institution-affiliated parties, as defined. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed with regulatory authorities.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. On July 30, 2002, President George W. Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which generally establishes a comprehensive framework to modernize and reform the oversight of public company auditing, improve the quality and transparency of financial reporting by those companies and strengthen the independence of auditors. Among other things, the new legislation (i) created a public company accounting oversight board which is empowered to set auditing, quality control and ethics standards, to inspect registered public accounting firms, to conduct investigations and to take disciplinary actions, subject to SEC oversight and review; (ii) strengthened auditor independence from corporate

management by, among other things, limiting the scope of consulting services that auditors can offer their public company audit clients; (iii) heightened the responsibility of public company directors and senior managers for the quality of the financial reporting and disclosure made by their companies; (iv) adopted a number of provisions to deter wrongdoing by corporate management; (v) imposed a number of new corporate disclosure requirements; (vi) adopted provisions which generally seek to limit and expose to public view possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; and (vii) imposed a range of new criminal penalties for fraud and other wrongful acts, as well as extended the period during which certain types of lawsuits can be brought against a company or its insiders.

Recent Legislation. The U.S. Congress has passed legislation providing for deposit insurance reform, which became law with the signature of the President of the United States in February 2006. Under the legislation, the Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund maintained by the FDIC will be merged; basic deposit insurance will remain at $100,000, with $250,000 in coverage for retirement accounts; deposit insurance coverage will be increased for inflation every five years beginning in 2011; and there will be a one-time aggregate assessment credit of $4.7 billion to banks and savings institutions in existence on December 31, 1996 that re-capitalized the FDIC in the 1990s. The legislation also gives the FDIC the flexibility to manage the merged deposit insurance fund and set the designated reserve ratio between 1.15% and 1.50%, as well as to make certain other changes.

Taxation

We are subject to those rules of federal income taxation generally applicable to corporations under the Internal Revenue Code. TD Banknorth and its subsidiaries, (with the exception of Northgroup Preferred Capital Corporation, a real estate investment trust which files a separate tax return), as members of an affiliated group of corporations within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Internal Revenue Code, file a consolidated federal income tax return, which has the effect of eliminating or deferring the tax consequences of inter-company distributions, including dividends, in the computation of consolidated taxable income.

We also are subject to various forms of state taxation under the laws of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, New York and Connecticut and certain other states as a result of the business which we conduct in these states.

Item 1A.	*Risk Factors*

In analyzing whether to make or to continue to hold an investment in our securities, investors should consider, among other factors, the following risk factors.

Our results of operations are significantly dependent on economic conditions and related uncertainties.

Commercial banking is affected, directly and indirectly, by domestic and international economic and political conditions and by governmental monetary and fiscal policies. Conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment, volatile interest rates, real estate values, government monetary policy, international conflicts, the actions of terrorists and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our results of operations. Changes in interest rates, in particular, could adversely affect our net interest income and have a number of other adverse effects on our operations, as discussed in the immediately succeeding risk factor. Adverse economic conditions also could result in an increase in loan delinquencies, foreclosures and nonperforming assets and a decrease in the value of the property or other collateral which secures our loans, all of which could adversely affect our results of operations. We are particularly sensitive to changes in economic conditions and related uncertainties in New England and the mid-Atlantic states because we derive substantially all of our loans, deposits and other business from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, eastern New York, New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. Accordingly, we remain subject to the risks associated with prolonged declines in national or local economies.

Changes in interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

The operations of financial institutions such as us are dependent to a large extent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets such as loans and investment securities and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings. Changes in the general level of interest rates can affect our net interest income by affecting the difference between the weighted average yield earned on our interest-earning assets and the weighted average rate paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, or interest rate spread, and the average life of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in interest rates also can affect our ability to originate loans; the value of our interest-earning assets and our ability to realize gains from the sale of such assets; our ability to obtain and retain deposits in competition with other available investment alternatives; the ability of our borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans; and the fair value of the derivatives carried on our balance sheet, derivative hedge effectiveness and the amount of ineffectiveness recognized in our earnings. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary policies, domestic and international economic and political conditions and other factors beyond our control. Although we believe that the estimated maturities of our interest-earning assets currently are well balanced in relation to the estimated maturities of our interest-bearing liabilities (which involves various estimates as to how changes in the general level of interest rates will impact these assets and liabilities), there can be no assurance that our profitability would not be adversely affected during any period of changes in interest rates. See “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.”

There are increased risks involved with multi-family residential, commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer lending activities.

Our lending activities include loans secured by existing multi-family residential and commercial real estate. In addition, from time to time we originate loans for the construction of multi-family residential real estate and land acquisition and development loans. Multi-family residential, commercial real estate and construction lending generally is considered to involve a higher degree of risk than single-family residential lending due to a variety of factors, including generally larger loan balances, the dependency on successful completion or operation of the project for repayment, the difficulties in estimating construction costs and loan terms which often do not require full amortization of the loan over its term and, instead, provide for a balloon payment at stated maturity. Our lending activities also include commercial business loans and leases to small to medium businesses, which generally are secured by various equipment, machinery and other corporate assets, and a wide variety of consumer loans, including home improvement loans, home equity loans, education loans and loans secured by automobiles, boats, mobile homes, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Although commercial business loans and leases and consumer loans generally have shorter terms and higher interests rates than mortgage loans, they generally involve more risk than mortgage loans because of the nature of, or in certain cases the absence of, the collateral which secures such loans.

Our allowance for losses on loans and leases may not be adequate to cover all future losses on existing loan and lease balances outstanding.

We have established an allowance for loan losses which we believe is adequate to offset probable losses on our existing loans and leases. There can be no assurance that any future declines in real estate market conditions, general economic conditions or changes in regulatory policies will not require us to increase our allowance for loan and lease losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

We are subject to extensive regulation which could adversely affect our business and operations.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to extensive federal and state governmental supervision and regulation, which are intended primarily for the protection of depositors. In addition, we and our subsidiaries are subject to changes in federal and state laws, as well as changes in regulations, governmental policies and accounting principles. The effects of any such potential changes cannot be predicted but could adversely affect the business and operations of us and our subsidiaries in the future.

We face strong competition which may adversely affect our profitability.

We are subject to vigorous competition in all aspects and areas of our business from banks and other financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, savings banks, finance companies, credit unions and other providers of financial services, such as money market mutual funds, brokerage firms, consumer finance companies and insurance companies. We also compete with non-financial institutions, including retail stores that maintain their own credit programs and governmental agencies that make available low cost or guaranteed loans to certain borrowers. Certain of our competitors are larger financial institutions with substantially greater resources, lending limits, larger branch systems and a wider array of commercial banking services. Competition from both bank and non-bank organizations will continue.

Our ability to successfully compete may be reduced if we are unable to make technological advances.

The banking industry is experiencing rapid changes in technology. In addition to improving customer services, effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. As a result, our future success will depend in part on our ability to address our customers’ needs by using technology. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively develop new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products to our customers. Many of our competitors have far greater resources than we have to invest in technology.

We and our banking subsidiary are subject to capital and other requirements which restrict our ability to pay dividends.

Our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders depends to a large extent upon the dividends we receive from TD Banknorth, NA. Dividends paid by TD Banknorth, NA are subject to restrictions under federal laws and regulations. In addition, we and TD Banknorth, NA must maintain certain capital levels, which may restrict the ability of TD Banknorth, NA to pay dividends to us and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights and are subject to potential dilution.

Our certificate of incorporation does not provide any shareholder other than The Toronto-Dominion Bank with a preemptive right to subscribe for additional shares of common stock upon any increase thereof. Thus, upon the issuance of any additional shares of common stock or other voting securities of TD Banknorth or securities convertible into common stock or other voting securities of TD Banknorth, shareholders may be unable to maintain their pro rata voting or ownership interest in us.

The Toronto-Dominion Bank exercises significant control over us.

Because we are a majority-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, The Toronto-Dominion Bank generally has the ability to control the outcome of any matter submitted for the vote or consent of TD Banknorth shareholders. Pursuant to an amended and restated stockholders agreement, dated as of August 25, 2004, among The Toronto-Dominion Bank, TD Banknorth and Banknorth Group, Inc. (the “stockholders agreement”), The Toronto-Dominion Bank may increase the number of Class B directors (who are elected exclusively by The Toronto-Dominion Bank) at any time to a majority of the entire board of directors of TD Banknorth and all corporate action by the TD Banknorth board requires the affirmative vote of both a majority of the entire board as well as a majority of the Class B directors (whether or not the Class B directors then constitute a majority of the entire board). Accordingly, The Toronto-Dominion Bank generally is able to control the outcome of all matters that come before the TD Banknorth board except in the specific instances where the stockholders agreement requires separate approval of certain designated independent directors. The stockholders agreement and related provisions of TD Banknorth’s certificate of incorporation also permit The Toronto-Dominion Bank to retain its majority position on the TD Banknorth board and certain of its governance rights for limited periods of time even after its ownership of TD Banknorth common stock has declined below 50% (but not below 35%) of the outstanding shares.

As a result of The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s controlling interest in TD Banknorth, The Toronto-Dominion Bank has the power, subject to applicable law, to take actions that might be favorable to The Toronto-Dominion Bank but not necessarily favorable to other TD Banknorth shareholders. In addition, The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s ownership position and governance rights prevent TD Banknorth from participating in a change of control transaction with a third party unless The Toronto-Dominion Bank consents to such transaction. Moreover, The Toronto-Dominion Bank is under no obligation to purchase all of the remaining publicly-held shares of TD Banknorth at any particular time and may, in its discretion, purchase significant additional amounts of TD Banknorth common stock (but generally not in excess of 662/3% of the outstanding shares) in the open market or otherwise without making an offer for all remaining publicly-held shares. As a result of The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s ownership interest in us and its related rights, our common stock could trade at prices that do not reflect a “takeover premium” to the same extent as do the stocks of similarly-situated companies that do not have a majority or significant shareholder.

There can be no assurance that our organizational structure will enable us to successfully pursue our acquisition strategy.

Targeted acquisitions of other banks have been an important strategy in our past. The ability to accomplish such acquisitions depends on a number of factors, including the selling bank’s perception of the quality of the consideration that is being offered in the transaction, expectations for the prospects of the purchaser and, where stock is part of the consideration, the anticipated performance and liquidity of the purchaser’s stock. There can be no assurance that future acquisition targets will view TD Banknorth, or the liquidity and growth potential of its stock, as favorably following The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s acquisition of a majority interest in us on March 1, 2005 as they did previously. Accordingly, while we expect that we will be able to continue to grow through acquisitions, there can be no assurance that TD Banknorth will continue to be able to identify and execute beneficial acquisition opportunities.

Conflicts of interest may arise between The Toronto-Dominion Bank and TDBanknorth, which may be resolved in a manner that adversely affects TDBanknorth’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Conflicts of interest may arise between TD Banknorth, on the one hand, and The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its other affiliates, on the other hand, in areas relating to past, ongoing and future relationships, including corporate opportunities, potential acquisitions, financing transactions, sales or other dispositions by The Toronto-Dominion Bank of its interest in TD Banknorth and the exercise of The Toronto-Dominion Bank of its potential to control the management and affairs of TD Banknorth. Currently several of the directors on the TD Banknorth board are persons who are faced with decisions that could have materially different implications for TD Banknorth and for The Toronto-Dominion Bank. Our certificate of incorporation and the stockholders agreement contain provisions relating to the allocation of business opportunities that may be suitable for both TD Banknorth and The Toronto-Dominion Bank. TD Banknorth and The Toronto-Dominion Bank have not established any other formal procedures for TD Banknorth and The Toronto-Dominion Bank to resolve potential or actual conflicts of interest between them. There can be no assurance that any of the foregoing conflicts will be resolved in a manner that does not adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations of TD Banknorth.

In addition, although the stockholders agreement restricts The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s ability to conduct a branch-based banking business in the United States other than through TD Banknorth, there are a number of limitations and exceptions to those restrictions, including operations conducted directly by The Toronto-Dominion Bank branches and agencies, banking support of the TD Waterhouse brokerage business (including through The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s existing U.S. insured depository institution, TD Waterhouse Bank, N.A.) and the ability to at least temporarily operate banks acquired by The Toronto-Dominion Bank incidentally to a business combination between The Toronto-Dominion Bank and a third party. It is possible that some of those businesses may compete with TD Banknorth and may have greater resources to do so. Moreover, because The Toronto-Dominion Bank currently controls a depository institution in the United States the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC and may in the future control others, our subsidiary bank, TD Banknorth, NA, could be assessed for losses suffered or anticipated by the FDIC as a result of a default by, or assistance provided by the FDIC in connection with the potential default by, another insured depository institution controlled by The Toronto-Dominion Bank. Any such assessment would be senior to the claims of

TD Banknorth as shareholder and may adversely affect the business, financial conditions or results of operations of TD Banknorth. In addition, The Toronto-Dominion Bank will have other obligations under U.S. banking laws to any such other depository institutions in the United States that it controls, including an obligation to guarantee, subject to certain limits, any plan of “prompt corrective action” such an institution is required to undertake should it become undercapitalized. Should these obligations arise, they may limit The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s ability to make capital available to, and otherwise support, TD Banknorth.

The Toronto-Dominion Bank, as the majority shareholder of TD Banknorth, has limited fiduciary duties to the minority shareholders of TD Banknorth.

Because The Toronto-Dominion Bank is a majority shareholder of TD Banknorth, The Toronto- Dominion Bank owes fiduciary duties, under Delaware common law, to TD Banknorth and the other shareholders of TD Banknorth. The fiduciary duties of controlling shareholders under Delaware law, however, are limited in a number of respects. For example, a controlling shareholder generally may sell its shares of stock in the corporation to any buyer and at any price it wishes, as long as the shareholder does not have reason to suspect that the buyer will harm the corporation or the non-controlling shareholders. A controlling shareholder is also generally entitled to vote its shares as it chooses, including to advance its own financial interest. Moreover, Delaware courts have stated that the law generally does not require that a controlling shareholder sacrifice its own financial interest in the enterprise for the sake of the corporation or its minority shareholders. Accordingly, a controlling shareholder is not under a duty to sell its holdings in the corporation or to agree to a sale of the corporation merely because the sale would profit the minority. While the determination of the fiduciary obligations of The Toronto-Dominion Bank in any particular context will depend on the specific facts, as a controlling shareholder The Toronto-Dominion Bank will have significant discretion to act in its own interest with respect to the voting and sale of its shares and will have limited fiduciary duties to TD Banknorth and its minority shareholders with respect to these matters.

For additional information regarding our premises and equipment and lease obligations, see Notes 8 and 21 respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 hereof.


Item 3.	*Legal Proceedings*

In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to a number of pending and threatened legal actions, including actions brought on behalf of various putative classes of claimants. Certain of these actions assert claims for substantial monetary damages against us and subsidiaries. Based on currently available information, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage and established reserves, we do not believe that the eventual outcome of pending litigation against us and our subsidiaries will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting such matters, however, there can be no assurance that the outcome of any such action will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations in any future reporting period.


Item 4.	*Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders*

There were no matters submitted to a vote of our security holders in the fourth quarter of 2005.

At February 28, 2006, there were 227,888,685 shares of common stock outstanding which were held by approximately 19,031 holders of record. Such number of record holders does not reflect the number of persons or entities holding stock in nominee name through banks, brokerage firms and other nominees.

We have historically paid quarterly dividends on our common stock and currently intend to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends depends on a number of factors, however, including restrictions on the ability of TD Banknorth, NA to pay dividends under federal laws and regulations. See “Item 1A — Risk Factors.”

Item 7.	*Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (In thousands, except per share data and as noted)*

The discussion and analysis that follows focuses on our results of operations during 2005, 2004, and 2003 and financial condition at December 31, 2005 and 2004. The Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with this review. Certain amounts in years prior to 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

General

We, TD Banknorth Inc., are a Delaware corporation and a registered bank/financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. We are a majority-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and successor to Banknorth Group, Inc. At December 31, 2005, we had consolidated assets of $32.1 billion and consolidated shareholders’ equity of $6.5 billion. Based on total assets at that date, we were the 29th largest commercial banking organization in the United States.

Our principal asset is all of the capital stock of TD Banknorth, NA, a national bank which was initially formed as a Maine-chartered savings bank in the mid-19th century. At December 31, 2005, TD Banknorth, NA had 396 banking offices in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and eastern New York and served approximately 1.4 million households and commercial customers. Through TD Banknorth, NA and its subsidiaries, we offer a full range of banking services and products to individuals, businesses and governments throughout our market areas, including commercial banking, consumer banking, investment management, investment planning and insurance agency services.

Business Strategy

Our goal is to sustain profitable, controlled growth by focusing on increasing our loan and deposit market share in our market areas; developing new financial products, services and delivery channels; closely managing yields on earning assets and rates on interest-bearing liabilities; increasing noninterest income through, among other things, expanded wealth management, investment planning and insurance agency services, controlling the growth of noninterest expenses and maintaining strong asset quality. As discussed below under “Acquisitions,” it is also part of our business strategy to supplement internal growth with targeted acquisitions of other financial institutions and insurance agencies in our current or contiguous market areas.

We strive to maintain a diversified loan and deposit mix and strong asset quality. We are focused on improving efficiencies as we integrate all of our acquisitions. We will continue to evaluate our operations and organizational structure to ensure they are closely aligned with our goal of increasing earnings per share.

Executive Overview

2005 was a transformational year as The Toronto-Dominion Bank acquired a majority interest in us on March 1, 2005. As discussed below under “Acquisition by The Toronto-Dominion Bank,” we were required to use the purchase method of accounting to account for this transaction and, as a result, goodwill increased by $3.0 billion, identifiable intangible assets increased by $705 million and shareholders’ equity increased by $3.4 billion. In addition to this landmark event, we acquired BostonFed Bancorp in January 2005; purchased the naming rights to the TD Banknorth Garden — the premier sports and entertainment arena in New England; reached agreement in July 2005 to acquire Hudson United Bancorp, the largest acquisition in our history, which was completed on January 31, 2006 and expanded our operations into southern Connecticut, the New York metropolitan area, New Jersey and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and continued to restructure our balance sheet by reducing the level of fixed rate securities in our investment portfolio that have extension/prepayment risk. Each of these items had substantial costs associated with their execution and as a result, net income and earnings per share declined from the prior year. However, we believe that each of these items has positioned us well for the future.

Diluted earnings per share were $1.55 in 2005 compared to $1.75 in 2004, a decline of 11%. Net income was $274.0 million in 2005 as compared to $304.6 million in 2004, a decline of $30.7 million, or 10%. Amortization expense on identifiable intangible assets increased by $96.5 million ($61.1 million after-tax) due to our use of the purchase method of accounting to account for the transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank on March 1, 2005, while losses related to balance sheet restructuring increased by $30.1 million ($19.1 million after-tax). Balance sheet restructuring losses include losses on securities, lower of cost or market adjustments on certain residential loans moved to loans held for sale and prepayment penalties on borrowings. The following summarizes our results for the year ended 2005 as compared to the year ended 2004.


	•	Net interest income increased by $70.1 million. Although total average earning assets increased only slightly over the prior year, average investment securities declined by $2.5 billion (primarily the result of balance sheet deleveraging programs) while average loans increased by $2.3 billion (related to acquisitions and organic growth). This shift in mix of earning assets from investment securities to higher-yielding loans enhanced net interest income during a period of sustained increases in short-term interest rates. Net interest income and the net interest margin declined during the last two quarters of 2005, however, as a result of the flattening yield curve.

	•	The provision for loan losses declined by $23.2 million, reflecting continued strong asset quality and lower net charge-offs.

	•	Noninterest income decreased by $39.4 million or 11% due to the effects of losses on securities and lower of cost or market adjustments on certain residential loans incurred primarily in connection with our balance sheet deleveraging and restructuring programs, which reduced noninterest income by $92.5 million in the aggregate. The other components of noninterest income increased by $53.1 million or 15% in the aggregate, largely due to increases in deposit services income and merchant and electronic banking income as a result of increased transaction volumes.


	•	Noninterest expense increased by $105.7 million or 14% due primarily to a $96.5 million increase in the amortization of identifiable intangible assets as a result of our use of the purchase method of accounting to account for the transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank on March 1, 2005, which more than offset a $7.0 million or 14% decrease in merger and consolidation costs and a $55.2 million or 90% decrease in prepayment penalties on borrowings. The other components of noninterest expense increased by $71.5 million or 11% in the aggregate as a result of expense associated with acquisitions completed in 2005 and 2004, management retention agreements entered into in connection with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction and employee benefit programs, including restricted stock unit awards granted in 2005 that will be settled in cash.

Our financial condition and liquidity rating remain strong. The following are important factors in understanding our financial conditions and liquidity:


	•	using the definition of federal banking regulators, we continue to be “well-capitalized”;

	•	Moody’s rating of our senior notes was “A2” at December 31, 2005;

	•	we increased our quarterly dividend by 10% to $0.22 per share in May 2005; and

	•	our liquidity measures at December 31, 2005 and throughout the year met our policy guidelines.

Acquisition by The Toronto-Dominion Bank

The Toronto-Dominion Bank acquired its majority interest in us effective March 1, 2005 in a two-step transaction in which Banknorth Group, Inc. first reincorporated from Maine to Delaware by means of a migratory merger into a newly-formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Banknorth Group, Inc., and then The Toronto-Dominion Bank acquired its majority interest in us by means of the merger of a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank with and into this reincorporated entity, which changed its name to “TD Banknorth Inc.” upon completion of the transaction. In accordance with the guidelines for accounting for business combinations, the transaction met the technical definition of a business combination, and therefore, was accounted for as a purchase business combination with the purchase price being comprised of all the consideration received by the shareholders of Banknorth Group, Inc., namely:


	•	cash paid by The Toronto-Dominion Bank,

	•	the value of The Toronto-Dominion Bank common shares issued and

	•	the value of TD Banknorth Inc. shares issued.

The purchase price and related purchase accounting adjustments resulted in a new basis of accounting reflecting the fair value of our assets and liabilities at March 1, 2005. The most significant adjustments were to increase goodwill by $3.0 billion, identifiable intangible assets by $705 million and shareholders’ equity by $3.4 billion as of March 1, 2005. As a result of the increase in identifiable intangible assets, amortization expense on identifiable intangible assets for 2005 was $96.5 million higher than in 2004. For additional information, see Notes 3 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial information presented herein for all dates and periods prior to completion of The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction on March 1, 2005 reflects our historical basis of accounting, and financial information presented herein for all dates and periods from and after March 1, 2005 reflect the adjusted values of our assets and liabilities resulting from the application of purchase accounting on that date. To assist in the comparability of our financial results and to make it easier to discuss and understand our results of operations, the financial information presented herein for 2005 combines the “predecessor period” (January 1, 2005 to February 28, 2005) with the “successor period” (March 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005) to present “combined” results for year ended December 31, 2005. Because of the effects of accounting for The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction under the purchase method effective March 1, 2005, information on a combined basis for the year ended December 31, 2005 may not be comparable to information for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, which are presented on a historical basis.

Table 1 — Consolidated Statements of Operations

The following table sets forth selected income data on a historical basis for the period January 1, 2005 to February 28, 2005, on a fair value basis for the period March 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005, on a combined basis for the year ended December 31, 2005 and on a historical basis for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

Acquisitions

Our profitability and market share have been enhanced in recent years through acquisitions of both financial and nonfinancial institutions. We continually evaluate acquisition opportunities and frequently conduct due diligence in connection with possible acquisitions. As a result, acquisition discussions and, in some cases, negotiations frequently take place and future acquisitions involving cash, debt or equity securities can be expected. Acquisitions typically involve the payment of a premium over book and market values, and therefore, some pro forma dilution of our book value and net income per common share may occur in connection with any future transactions. Moreover, acquisitions commonly result in significant one-time charges against earnings, although cost-savings, especially incident to in-market acquisitions, frequently are anticipated, as are revenue enhancements.

Table 2 — Acquisitions 2003 — 2005

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our bank acquisitions in 2005, 2004 and 2003. All acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, as a result, were included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition.

Results of Operations

Comparison of 2005 and 2004

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets such as loans, leases and securities and interest expense paid on liabilities such as deposits and borrowings, and continues to be our largest source of net revenue. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates and by changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Table 3 — Three-Year Average Balance Sheets

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income on interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average cost; (iii) net interest income; (iv) interest rate spread; (v) net interest margin. For purposes of the table and the following discussion, (i) income from interest-earning assets and net interest income is presented on a fully-taxable equivalent basis primarily by adjusting income and yields earned on tax exempt interest received on loans to qualifying borrowers and on certain securities to make them equivalent to income and yields earned on fully-taxable investments, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%, and (ii) unpaid interest on nonaccrual loans has not been included for purposes of determining interest income. Information is based on average daily balances during the indicated periods.

Fully-taxable equivalent net interest income for 2005 increased $71.5 million, or 7.7%, compared to 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to the following items:


	•	a change in the mix of average earning assets resulting from deleveraging programs (loans comprised 80% of average earning assets during 2005 compared to 71% during 2004);

	•	changes in the composition of interest-bearing liabilities resulting from deleveraging programs (deposits comprised 75% of interest-bearing liabilities during 2005 compared to 70% during 2004);

	•	a slight increase in net earning assets as a result of the acquisition of BostonFed Bancorp Inc. in January 2005 and CCBT Financial Companies, Inc. and Foxborough Savings Bank in April 2004 and internal growth;

	•	a 23 basis point increase in net interest rate spread;

	•	the benefit of interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $2.2 billion which hedged the cash flows on certain variable rate loans, which increased net interest income by $15.4 million; and

	•	an 11% increase in noninterest-bearing deposits.

Fully-taxable equivalent interest income increased by $150.8 million in 2005 as compared to 2004 as the result of an increase in the weighted average yield on earning assets from 5.01% in 2004 to 5.65% in 2005, an increase of 64 basis points. The increase was due in part to rising short term interest rates and the effects of balance sheet deleveraging programs under which certain fixed rate securities and residential loans with extension/prepayment risk were sold at a loss and the proceeds used to repay borrowings.

Interest expense increased by $79.3 million in 2005 compared to 2004 as a result of rising short term interest rates. The Federal Reserve Board raised its overnight federal funds rate five times during 2004 and eight times during 2005; each time the rate increased by 25 basis points (or 1/4 of 1%). The weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.94% in 2005 up from 1.53% in 2004, an increase of 41 basis points. Year over year, the weighted average cost of deposits increased by 38 basis points and the weighted average cost of borrowings increased by 82 basis points. The effect of higher funding costs was mitigated in part by the prepayment of $3 billion of borrowings in the fourth quarter of 2004 at a pre-tax loss of $61.5 million due to prepayment penalties. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $771 million or 5%, due to acquisitions. Average demand deposits increased by $434 million (or 11%); excluding acquisitions average demand deposits increased by $275 million (or 6%). Average borrowings declined by $1.2 billion in 2005 compared to 2004 due to balance sheet deleveraging programs, which were offset in part by borrowings assumed from acquired banks.

Interest rate spread, which represents the difference between the yield earned on our interest-earning assets and the rate paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, increased to 3.71% in 2005 from 3.48% in 2004 because the 64 basis point increase in the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets rate was greater than the 41 basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities primarily as a result of balance sheet deleveraging programs. Our net interest income and net interest margin also benefited from non-customer interest rate swap agreements that synthetically converted variable rate assets to fixed rate assets and fixed rate debt to variable rate debt. The combined effect of these interest rate swap agreements was to increase net interest income by $16.2 million in 2005 and by $8.4 million in 2004. During 2005, all non-customer related interest rate swaps were terminated. At December 31, 2005, the deferred loss related to these terminations amounted to $32.2 million, which is being amortized as a reduction of interest income over the remaining life of the hedged items. See “Asset-Liability Management” for more information.

Provision and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses is recorded to bring the allowance for loan and lease losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on factors discussed in the “Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” in the “Risk Management” section.

Table 6 — Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The following table sets forth information regarding our provision for loan and lease losses during the periods indicated.


							Change
	Combined		Predecessor		Predecessor		2005-2004					2004-2003
	2005		2004		2003		Amount			Percent		Amount			Percent

Provision for loan and lease losses	$	17,166	$	40,340	$	42,301	$	(23,174	)		(57)%	$	(1,961	)		(5)%

We provided $17.1 million and $40.3 million for loan and lease losses in 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition to the provisions made for on-balance sheet loans and leases, we provided $1.2 million for loss reserves related to off-balance sheet loan commitments in 2005. This $1.2 million provision is included in other noninterest expense. The reduction in the provision for loan and lease losses in 2005 reflected our consistently strong asset quality, loss experience and migration analysis. Specifically, nonperforming assets were lower and our recent favorable loss factors replaced higher historical factors, resulting in a lower required allowance level and related provision for loan and lease losses. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases was 0.16% in 2005 and 0.21% in 2004. The coverage ratio (ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans) was 381% at December 31, 2005, as compared to 322% at December 31, 2004. See “Risk Management” below for further information on the provision for loan and lease losses, net charge-offs, nonperforming assets and other factors we consider in assessing the credit quality of our loan and lease portfolio and establishing the allowance for loan and lease losses. Although we use our best judgment in providing for losses, for the reasons discussed under the “Risk Management” section, there can be no assurance that we will not have to increase the amount of our provision for loan and lease losses in future periods.

Deposit services income increased by $20.3 million or 19% in 2005, primarily as a result of an increase in overdraft fees resulting from increases in transaction volume and accounts. This increase in overdraft fees was partially offset by a decline in service charge income on business accounts resulting from the introduction of “Free Business Checking” in 2004. Acquisitions accounted for a portion of the increased number of deposit accounts, increased overdraft fees and increased retail service charges.

Insurance agency commissions were flat in 2005 compared to 2004. Increased renewal commissions and fee income were offset by lower new business volume.

Merchant and electronic banking income represents fees and interchange income generated by the use of our ATMs and debit cards issued by us, along with charges to merchants for credit card transactions processed, net of third-party costs directly attributable to handling these transactions. Merchant and electronic banking income increased by $8.3 million or 16% in 2005 due to increases in the volume of transactions processed and increased market share from acquisitions.

Wealth management services income increased $2.4 million or 6% in 2005. This increase was primarily due to an increase in assets under management, which increased to $11.4 billion at December 31, 2005 from $10.3 billion at December 31, 2004, an increase of $1.1 billion, primarily as a result of improvements in the stock-market during 2005.

Income from bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) increased $925 thousand or 4% during 2005. The cash surrender value of BOLI was $572.8 million at December 31, 2005 compared to $523.1 million at December 31, 2004. The $49.7 million increase was primarily comprised of amounts from acquisitions and increases in the cash surrender value of policies. Most of our BOLI is invested in the “general account” of quality insurance companies. Standard and Poors rated all such general account carriers AA− or better at December 31, 2005. The average carrying value of BOLI in 2005 was $559 million, compared to $504 million in 2004.

Investment planning services income consists primarily of commissions earned from sales of third party fixed annuities, variable annuities and mutual funds. Investment planning services income was flat when compared to last year. The pipeline of new business slowed in 2005 due to lower referral volume from the retail branch network and reduced demand for variable annuities.

Net securities losses amounted to $93.1 million during 2005. This included a $50.4 million loss recorded in connection with the sale of $2.9 billion of securities pursuant to the deleveraging program implemented by us in the first quarter of 2005. In addition, a securities loss of $45 million was recorded in December 2005 in connection with the identification of other than temporary impairment on $2.6 billion of securities to be sold in early 2006. Gains and losses from the sale of securities are subject to market and economic conditions.

Loans held for sale — lower of cost or market adjustment amounted to a $7.1 million charge during the year ended December 31, 2005. This amount was recorded in connection with the reclassification of $519 million of residential real estate loans in portfolio to loans held for sale as part of the deleveraging program implemented by us in the first quarter of 2005. We retained the servicing on these loans which were sold in 2005.

The change in unrealized losses on certain derivatives of $5.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2005 resulted primarily from required changes in accounting for certain interest rate swap agreements in connection with the accounting for The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction under the purchase method. Through February 28, 2005, interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $541.5 million were accounted for as fair value hedges of certain fixed-rate FHLB borrowings, subordinated debt and senior notes. In addition, interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $1.2 billion were entered into in February 2005 and were accounted for as cash flow hedges of certain variable rate commercial loans through February 28, 2005. Under hedge accounting rules, the fair value of these interest rate swap agreements was recorded on our balance sheet with the offset recorded as an adjustment of borrowings (in the case of the fair value hedges) or shareholders’ equity — accumulated other comprehensive income (in the case of cash flow hedges). On March 1, 2005, the date of completion of The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction and resultant purchase accounting adjustments, these interest rate swap agreements were not redesignated as hedges because it was not determined that The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction should be accounted for under the purchase method until several weeks later. As a result, hedge accounting for these interest rate swap agreements was no longer permitted. In March 2005, a loss of $8.2 million was recorded to reflect the change in the fair value of these swap agreements from March 1, 2005 to March 31, 2005. On April 21, 2005, the interest rate swap agreements related to variable rate commercial loans were redesignated as cash flow hedges, and a gain of $10.1 million was recorded to reflect the change in fair value of these agreements from March 31, 2005 to April 21, 2005; these interest rate swaps were able to be redesignated as cash flow hedges because all applicable requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 133 paragraphs 28 and 29 were met at the new inception date. Although no longer eligible for short cut accounting, the interest rate swap agreements related to fixed rate borrowings could not be redesignated as hedges because they did not meet the requirements to be considered highly effective. These interest rate swap agreements were terminated on May 13, 2005. From March 31, 2005 to May 13, 2005 these interest rate swap agreements increased in value and a gain of $4.8 million was recorded. In addition, in September 2005 we recorded a loss of $0.7 million on termination of a $165 million, 10-year U.S. Treasury rate lock agreement that was originated in June 2005 to hedge the forecasted issuance of $150 million of subordinated debt. In September 2005, we made a decision to issue the subordinated debt in Canada rather than proceed with the originally forecasted U.S. transaction. We decided that a Canadian subordinated debt issuance was preferable to a U.S. subordinated debt issuance for several reasons including lower funding costs, lower issuance costs via a

private placement and a longer fixed term. We estimate the annual cost savings to be approximately $0.4 million per year.

Other noninterest income increased $15.1 million, or 25%, in 2005, primarily as a result of the following changes in the components of other noninterest income. Loan fee income increased by $5.0 million in 2005, largely due to higher volumes of interest rate swap agreements sold by us to commercial loan customers to synthetically fix the interest rate on their variable rate loans. In connection with these transactions, we simultaneously entered into offsetting interest rate swap agreements with third party dealers. Covered call option premiums decreased by $9.5 million in 2005; this decline was related to lower volatility in interest rates and lower purchases of investment securities. The covered call option program is managed in conjunction with the fixed-income securities portfolio to provide revenue opportunities in addition to the interest income earned on the securities. Covered call option activity varies as interest rates, levels of market volatility and our strategic objectives for the fixed-income securities portfolio change. Mortgage banking services income increased $3.2 million in 2005; this increase was largely due to gains on sale of portfolio loans in 2005. Venture capital write-downs were lower than prior year amounts, reflecting the improved performance of our investments in venture capital funds. Income on restricted stock, which represents dividends earned on required investments in the equity securities of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”), increased by $44.9 million in 2005. Our investment levels in these securities are determined by regulation based on outstanding borrowings in the case of the FHLB and our equity in the case of the FRB. Miscellaneous other noninterest income increased by $8.8 million in 2005. This income includes fees and commissions on our official check program, cash receipts in excess of estimated cash flows on certain impaired loans which were written down to estimated fair value in connection with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction and fees earned from business referrals to The Toronto-Dominion Bank since March 1, 2005. Each of these items increased over the respective amount recorded in the prior year.

Compensation and employee benefits expense increased 15% during 2005 due to higher salaries and benefit costs resulting from acquisitions, normal merit increases, costs related to management retention agreements entered into in connection with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction and expenses associated with restricted stock unit awards granted in 2005 that will be settled in cash. The total number of full-time equivalent employees approximated 7,500 at December 31, 2005 compared to 7,200 at December 31, 2004. Pension expense (which is included in compensation and employee benefits expense) was $10.9 million and $11.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decline was primarily due to earnings on the year end 2004 cash contribution and lower amortization of deferred actuarial losses. The fair value of plan assets at December 31, 2005 was $299.0 million compared to $263.9 million at December 31, 2004. We contributed $27.6 million, $17.1 million and $47.4 million to the pension plan in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Occupancy expense in 2005 increased $6.6 million or 10%. This increase was due primarily to the cost of additional facilities from acquisitions and increased grounds maintenance and electricity expense as a result of winter weather conditions in early 2005.

Equipment expense increased $3.3 million or 7% in 2005 primarily due to increased costs from acquisitions, depreciation on new equipment purchases and equipment maintenance expenses.

Data processing expense increased $2.9 million or 7% during the year ended December 31, 2005 due to data line expenses to support technology upgrades and from acquisitions. In addition, software licensing expense increased due to increased renewal rates, purchases of new software, and system enhancements.

Advertising and marketing expense increased $4.8 million or 19% in 2005. This increase was primarily due to additional brand advertising and promotional campaigns to enhance brand recognition in certain of our markets. We began amortizing the costs of the naming rights agreement for the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on July 1, 2005. Our 50% share of these costs was $1.8 million in 2005 and is expected to be approximately $3.6 million for a full year (The Toronto-Dominion Bank bears the other 50%). Advertising expense also increased in 2005 due to corporate sponsorships of the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics.

Amortization expense on identifiable intangible assets increased by $96.5 million due to the amortization of $705 million incremental of identifiable intangible assets (primarily core deposit and loan relationship intangibles) recorded in connection with our use of the purchase method to account for The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction on March 1, 2005. These intangible assets amortize over periods up to 18 years and are being amortized based on the expected cash flows generated from the intangible asset. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information and scheduled amortization.

Merger and consolidation costs decreased $7.0 million or 14% in 2005 compared to 2004 primarily due to costs incurred in 2004 in connection with our acquisition of CCBT Financial Companies, Inc. and Foxborough Savings Bank. For a tabular analysis of our merger and consolidation costs, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Prepayment penalties on borrowings decreased by $55.2 million because the balance sheet deleveraging in 2004 included the prepayment of $1.2 billion of long-term borrowings.

Other noninterest expense increased $1.5 million or 1% in 2005. This increase was largely due to a $2.1 million increase in office supplies expense, $1.3 million increase in consulting costs, $1.2 million of provisions for off-balance sheet credit exposures, and a $2.4 million increase in travel and entertainment costs, which were offset in part by a $1.7 million reduction in telephone expenses, a $553 thousand decrease in professional fees (due to lower Sarbanes-Oxley Act related fees) and a $1.0 million reduction in legal settlement costs.

Taxes

Table 9 — Income Tax Expense

The following table presents information regarding our income tax expense during the periods indicated.

Our effective tax rate was 34.2% in 2005 and 34.9% in 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate to 34.2% was primarily due to reduced nondeductible compensation expense in 2005 as compared to 2004. We expect the effective tax rate to be approximately 34% in 2006.

We are subject to examinations by various federal and state governmental tax authorities from time to time regarding tax returns we have filed. Certain state income tax returns filed by us in recent years have recently been examined and assessments have been made by state tax authorities with respect to certain of these returns. We believe that we have substantial defenses to these assessments and are appealing them in accordance with administrative procedures. Although we believe that our reserves for existing and potential state tax assessments are appropriate, we estimate that the range of reasonably possible exposure over established reserves for existing and potential state tax assessments is from $0 to $11 million, after federal tax benefits. To the extent we settle these assessments for an amount greater than or less than the related reserves, the excess or deficiency will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income differed from our net income as a result of changes in the amount of unrealized gains and losses on our portfolio of securities available for sale and on our derivative contracts that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Note 17 in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

Our available for sale investment securities portfolio had net unrealized gains (losses) of ($20.2) million, $669 thousand and $11.8 million (which on an after-tax basis amounted to ($13.2) million, $435 thousand and $7.7 million, respectively) at December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The changes from year to year reflect changes in prevailing interest rates, gains and losses recorded on sales of securities or impairment of securities, and, to a lesser degree, the size of the available for sale investment securities portfolio. For additional information, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. The change in fair value of our interest-bearing liabilities, which would tend to offset the change in fair value of available for sale securities, is not included in other comprehensive income.

The effect of deferred and unrealized gains (losses) related to cash flow hedges on comprehensive income was a loss of $28.7 million in 2005, a significant decline from 2004. This change primarily related to $2.2 billion of cash flow hedges that were entered into in early 2005 and terminated in December 2005 at a pre-tax loss of $32.5 million. These losses are being amortized as a reduction of interest income on loans over a seven year period based on the pattern of the specific loan cash flows that were originally designated as being hedged (an accelerated method).

Segment Reporting

Our primary business segment is Community Banking, which represents over 91% of our consolidated net income and consolidated assets and consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits and other sources of funds to originate commercial business loans and leases, commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans and a variety of consumer loans. In addition to keeping loans for our own portfolio, we sell residential mortgage loans into the secondary market. We also invest in mortgage-backed securities and securities backed by the United States Government and agencies thereof, as well as other securities. In addition to Community Banking, we have Insurance Agency, Investment Planning and Wealth Management segments, each of which represents less than 5% of our consolidated net income and consolidated assets and in the aggregate represent less than 10% of our consolidated net income and consolidated assets. Our Insurance Agency business earns commissions on insurance agency activities, our investment planning business earns fees on the sales of mutual funds and third party fixed annuities and our Wealth Management business reflects fees from wealth management operations.

(1)		Noninterest income included net securities losses of $45 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 as part of the balance sheet restructuring program and $17.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 as part of a deleveraging program.

(2)		Noninterest expense included prepayment penalties on borrowings of $61.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 which were incurred as part of a deleveraging program.

(3)		Annualized.

(4)		Represents noninterest expense as a percentage of net interest income and noninterest income including net securities gains/losses

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 amounted to $55.6 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $20.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2004. The principal reason for this difference was a decrease in noninterest expense due to a reduction in prepayment penalties on borrowings incurred in connection with deleveraging programs, and lower margin and consolidation costs, offset in part by increased amortization of identifiable intangible assets resulting from the transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank.

Net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2005 was level with the fourth quarter of 2004 as a 9 basis point increase in net interest margin was offset by lower average earning asset levels due to balance sheet deleveraging programs. Average loans comprised 82% and 73% of average earning assets in the fourth quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively. Average interest-bearing deposits were 77% of interest-bearing liabilities versus 72% in the prior year period. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased 5% period over period. The change in mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities contributed to the 9 basis point increase in net interest margin from 3.87% to 3.96% in the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, respectively. Quarter over quarter, the weighted average rate on earning assets increased 72 basis points and the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 74 basis points mostly due to the rise in short term interest rates during 2005.

Noninterest income decreased $12.4 million or 17% in the fourth quarter of 2005 because of net securities losses of $45.0 million and $17.8 million in the fourth quarters of 2005 and 2004, respectively, which were primarily due to balance sheet restructuring and deleveraging programs, respectively. Excluding net securities losses, noninterest income increased $14.9 million due primarily to increases in deposit services income ($6.8 million), income on the restricted stock of the FHLB and FRB ($2.4 million), merchant and electronic banking income ($1.9 million), venture capital limited partnership investment income ($1.9 million) and mortgage banking income ($1.8 million), which were offset in part by declines in covered call premiums ($1.5 million) and insurance agency revenue ($1.1 million).

Noninterest expense decreased by $51.7 million or 19% in the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, due to prepayment penalties on borrowings of $61.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 and a decrease in merger and consolidation costs of $33.3 million. The prepayment penalties were incurred as part of a balance sheet deleveraging program in the fourth quarter of 2004. The decrease in merger and consolidation costs was attributable to change in control costs incurred in December 2004 in connection with the transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank. These decreases more than offset a $28.6 million increase in the amortization of identifiable intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2005, which increased as a result of the increased identifiable intangible assets resulting from the transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank on March 1, 2005.

The effective tax rate was 32.1% in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to 46.4% in the fourth quarter of 2004. The decrease in the tax rate was due primarily to lower nondeductible compensation expense related to The Toronto-Dominion Bank change-in-control payments. We expect the tax rate to be approximately 34% in 2006.

See Note 29 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for selected quarterly data for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Comparison of 2004 and 2003

Our consolidated total assets increased by $2.2 billion, or 8%, from $26.5 billion at December 31, 2003 to $28.7 billion at December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to acquisitions in 2004. Shareholders’ equity totaled $3.2 billion and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to retained net income and the issuance of our stock for acquisitions and employee benefit plans in 2004.

We reported net income of $304.6 million during 2004, or $1.75 per diluted share, compared with net income of $350.8 million, or $2.15 per diluted share for 2003. Return on average assets was 1.08% in 2004 compared to 1.37% in 2003, and return on average equity was 10.63% in 2004 compared to 14.51% in 2003.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis totaled $933.7 million during 2004, as compared with $838.7 million in 2003. The $95.0 million, or 11%, increase in 2004 was primarily attributable to the combined effects of increases in the average balances of our interest-earning assets and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease in funding costs was attributable in part to noninterest-bearing deposits comprising a larger share of the funding base. In 2004, the net interest margin increased 6 basis points to 3.72% from 3.66% in 2003.

The provision for loan and lease losses amounted to $40.3 million in 2004 compared to $42.3 million in 2003. The provision for loan and lease losses declined slightly from the prior year as charge-offs were lower and asset quality trends remained strong. The ratio of the allowance to nonperforming loans at December 31, 2004 was 322% compared to 389% at December 31, 2003. The allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.34% of total loans at December 31, 2004 compared to 1.42% at December 31, 2003.

Noninterest income amounted to $346.0 million and $375.1 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The $29.2 million decrease was primarily due to changes in net securities gains/losses, which amounted to a loss of $7.7 million in 2004 and a gain of $42.5 million in 2003. A total of $17.8 million of the net loss in 2004 and $29.2 million of the net gain in 2003 was attributable to securities sold in connection with deleveraging programs. The decline in securities gains more than offset increases of $12.0 million in deposit services income, $8.8 million in merchant and electronic banking income and $7.8 million in wealth management services income. Deposit services income grew 12% from 2003 as a result of increased volume, due in part to acquisitions. Merchant and electronic banking income grew 21% due mainly to increases in volume. Wealth management services income grew by 25% due primarily to acquisitions.

Noninterest expense amounted to $765.1 million in 2004 compared with $641.3 million in 2003. The $123.8 million increase included a $31.0 million increase in prepayment penalties on borrowings incurred as part of the deleveraging program in 2004 and a $41.5 million increase in merger and consolidation costs due primarily to $38.9 million of costs related to the transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank. The remaining $51.3 million increase in noninterest expense in 2004 was primarily due to increases in compensation and employee benefits expense primarily due to merit increases and additional employees from acquisitions.

Our comprehensive income amounted to $296.5 million and $241.8 million during 2004 and 2003, respectively. Although net income declined from 2003 to 2004, comprehensive income increased by $54.7 due primarily to changes in unrealized losses on securities. For additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Note 17 in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

Financial Condition

Our consolidated total assets increased by $3.4 billion, or 12%, from $28.7 billion at December 31, 2004 to $32.1 billion at December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of three factors. The purchase accounting adjustments recorded on March 1, 2005 in connection with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction resulted in the recognition of an additional $3.0 billion of goodwill and an additional $705 million of identifiable intangible assets. In addition, the acquisition of BostonFed Bancorp, Inc. on January 21, 2005 increased assets by approximately $1.5 billion. A deleveraging program implemented coincident with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction reduced assets by $2.9 billion.

Shareholders’ equity totaled $6.5 billion at December 31, 2005 and $3.2 billion at December 31, 2004, an increase of $3.3 billion. The increase was due primarily to the effects of accounting for the transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank under the purchase method. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Investment Securities

The securities portfolio is utilized for several purposes. It serves as a vehicle to manage interest rate and prepayment risk, generates interest and dividend income from the investment of excess funds, provides liquidity to meet liquidity requirements and is used as collateral for public deposits and wholesale funding sources. The average balance of the securities portfolio, which consists of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity, was $4.9 billion in 2005 and $7.3 billion in 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of $2.9 billion of securities as part of the deleveraging program which was implemented coincident with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction. The securities portfolio is held in and managed by Northgroup Asset Management Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD Banknorth, NA, and consists primarily of mortgage-backed securities. Other securities in the portfolio are collateralized mortgage obligations, which include securitized residential real estate loans held in a REMIC, asset-backed securities and

corporate bonds. With the exception of securitized residential real estate loans held in a REMIC that are classified as held to maturity and carried at cost, all of our securities are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value.

Securities available for sale had an after-tax unrealized loss of $13.2 million and an after-tax unrealized gain of $435 thousand at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. These unrealized gains (losses) do not impact net income or regulatory capital but are recorded as adjustments to shareholders’ equity, net of related deferred income taxes. Unrealized gains (losses), net of related deferred income taxes, are a component of “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)” contained in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Note 17 in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in item 8.

There were no Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. securities included in U.S. Government and agency securities at December 31, 2005. Over 95% of the $4.4 billion of securities available for sale at December 31, 2005 were rated AAA or equivalently rated. Mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations comprised 90% of the securities available for sale at December 31, 2005 compared to 83% at December 31, 2004. The average yield on securities was 4.77% during 2005, compared to 4.35% during 2004.

Loans

Total loans and leases (including loans held for sale) averaged $20.0 billion during 2005 compared to $17.7 billion during 2004, an increase of $2.3 billion, or 13%. Excluding acquisitions and purchase accounting adjustments, average loans and leases increased $641 million. Average loans and leases as a percent of average earning assets amounted to 80% and 71% in 2005 and 2004, respectively. The change was primarily due to the decrease in investment securities as a result of the deleveraging programs in 2005 and 2004.

Residential real estate loans (including loans held for sale) averaged $3.4 billion and $3.0 billion in 2005 and 2004, respectively, an increase of $441 million or 15%. Excluding acquisitions and the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, average residential loans decreased approximately $601 million, or 15%, in 2005 primarily due to the sale of $519 million of portfolio loans in connection with the deleveraging program in the first quarter of 2005. The weighted average yield on residential real estate loans increased from 5.01% to 5.38% during 2004 and 2005, respectively, in part due to the sale of $519 million of lower-yielding loans and the repricing of adjustable-rate loans during these periods.

Mortgage loans held for sale amounted to $31.4 million and $51.7 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. We continue to sell substantially all of the conforming fixed-rate loans we originate.

Commercial real estate loans averaged $6.7 billion in 2005 and $6.0 billion in 2004, a 12% increase. Excluding acquisitions and the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, average commercial real estate loans increased $328 million, or 5%, during 2005. Most of our markets posted increases, with the largest dollar increases in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. The weighted average yield on commercial real estate loans during 2005 was 6.07%, as compared to 5.79% in 2004, an increase of 28 basis points. The higher yield reflects the effects of higher prevailing rates as a result of the increases in prime rates in 2004 and 2005.

Commercial business loans and leases averaged $4.1 billion in 2005 and $3.7 billion in 2004, an increase of $449 million or 12%. Excluding acquisitions and the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, average commercial business loans and leases increased $384 million, or 10% in 2005. Most of our markets posted increases, with Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont showing the strongest growth. The weighted average yield on commercial loans and leases increased to 5.96% in 2005 from 4.92% in 2004. The increase in the yield was primarily due to higher rates on new loans and the upward repricing of variable-rate loans due to increases in short-term interest rates.

Consumer loans and leases averaged $5.8 billion in 2005 and $5.1 billion in 2004, an increase of $719 million or 14%. Excluding acquisitions and the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, average consumer loans and leases increased $530 million or 10%. The growth in consumer loans was primarily in home equity loans and indirect auto loans. The weighted average yield on consumer loans and leases increased to 5.85% in 2005 from 5.13% in 2004, resulting from the upward repricing of variable rate loans due to increases in short-term interest rates.

Deposits

Total deposits averaged $20.1 billion during 2005 compared to $18.9 billion during 2004, an increase of $1.2 billion or 6%. This increase was primarily due to acquisitions. Noninterest-bearing accounts, money market and NOW accounts reflected the largest increases. The ratio of loans to deposits was 99% at December 31, 2005 and 97% at December 31, 2004.

Average interest-bearing deposits of $15.7 billion during 2005 increased $771 million, or 5% over 2004. Excluding acquisitions, average savings, money market and NOW accounts decreased $199 million, or 2%, while certificates of deposits declined by 5%. The average rates paid on all interest-bearing deposits increased by 38 basis points from 1.08% in 2004 to 1.46% in 2005, reflecting the increase in prevailing interest rates.

Average noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $4.4 billion during 2005, an increase of $434 million, or 11%, from 2004. Excluding acquisitions, average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $275 million, or 7%.

Included within the deposit categories are government banking deposits, which averaged $2.0 billion in 2005 and $1.7 billion in 2004. Government banking deposits include deposits received from state and local governments, school districts, public colleges/universities, utility districts, public housing authorities and court systems in our market areas. Many of these deposits exceed the FDIC insurance coverage amounts and require us to pledge specific collateral or maintain private insurance.

Other Funding Sources

We use both short-term and long-term borrowings as funding sources to supplement deposits.

Short-term borrowings include FHLB advances, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and borrowings from the U.S. Treasury. Short-term borrowings amounted to $3.7 billion at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

At December 31, 2005, we also had a $110 million unsecured line of credit with The Toronto-Dominion Bank. The line is renewable every 364 days and, if used, carries interest at LIBOR plus 0.60%. We did not draw on this line during 2005. We also have additional borrowing capacity as more fully described under “Liquidity” below.

Long-term debt includes FHLB advances, senior notes, subordinated notes, junior subordinated debentures, wholesale securities sold under agreements to repurchase, capital lease obligations and other debt with original maturities greater than one year. Long-term debt amounted to $1.2 billion at December 31, 2005 and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2004. The decrease of $1.1 billion related primarily to the repayment of wholesale securities sold under repurchase agreements as part of the deleveraging program in 2005. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, long-term FHLB borrowings amounted to $152 million and $429 million, respectively. FHLB collateral consists primarily of first mortgage loans secured by single-family properties, certain unencumbered securities and other qualified assets. These borrowings had an average cost of 4.50% during 2005 as compared to 4.04% during 2004.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, long-term wholesale securities sold under repurchase agreements amounted to $0 and $1.1 billion, respectively, and were collateralized by mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government obligations. Wholesale securities sold under repurchase agreements were repaid as part of the deleveraging program in 2005. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, we had outstanding $344 million and $311 million, respectively, of junior subordinated debentures issued by us to affiliated trusts. At December 31, 2005, these junior subordinated debentures had a remaining unamortized fair value write-up of $22.5 million. See “Capital” below.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, other subordinated debt totaled $457 million and $200 million, respectively. This debt qualifies as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. The increase from 2004 to 2005 was attributable to a $25 million fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the accounting for The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction and an issuance of subordinated notes by TD Banknorth, NA in September 2005, as discussed below.

In September 2005, TD Banknorth, NA issued Can$270 million of subordinated notes (US$229 million). These notes are unconditionally guaranteed by The Toronto-Dominion Bank. These notes pay a fixed rate of interest semi-annually until September 20, 2017 and a floating rate equal to the Canadian Bankers’ Acceptance Rate plus 1.00% quarterly thereafter until maturity on September 20, 2022. On or after September 20, 2017, TD Banknorth, NA may, at its option, redeem the notes at 100% of the principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest. Prior to September 20, 2017, TD Banknorth, NA may, at its option, redeem the notes at a redemption price which is equal to the higher of 100% of the principal amount and the Canada yield price (as defined), together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest. TD Banknorth, NA may not redeem the notes without the required approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States (“OCC”) and the written approval of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada). The notes qualify as Tier 2 regulatory capital. In connection with this issuance, we entered into a $229 million notional amount cross currency swap agreement which matures on September 20, 2017; this cross currency swap agreement synthetically fixes the interest rate at 5.05% on USD$229 million for 12 years.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, we had outstanding $149 million of five-year senior notes carrying a fixed rate of 3.75%. These securities, which were issued in April 2003 for general corporate purposes, were rated A3 by Moody’s at December 31, 2005.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers and to reduce our own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, commitments to invest in real estate limited partnerships, standby letters of credit, recourse arrangements on serviced loans, forward commitments to sell loans, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps and other derivative contracts. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments, standby letters of credit and recourse arrangements generally is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. For forward commitments to sell loans, the contract or notional amounts do not represent exposure to credit loss. See Note 21 to the Consolidated

Financial Statements included in Item 8 for more information regarding the nature, business purpose and the importance of off-balance sheet arrangements.

Risk Management

The primary goal of our risk management program is to determine how certain existing or emerging issues in the financial services industry affect the nature and extent of the risks faced by us. Based on a periodic self-evaluation, we determine key issues and develop plans and/or objectives to address risk. Our board of directors and management believe that there are seven applicable “risk categories,” consisting of credit, interest rate, liquidity, transaction, compliance, strategic and reputation risk. Each risk category is viewed from a quantity of risk perspective (high, medium or low) coupled with a quality of risk management perspective. In addition, an aggregate level of risk is assigned as a whole, as well as the direction of risk (stable, increasing or decreasing). Each risk category and the overall risk level is compared to regulatory views on a regular basis and then reported to the board with an accompanying explanation as to the existence of any differences. The risk program includes risk identification, measurement, control and monitoring.

Our board of directors establishes the overall strategic direction for TD Banknorth. It approves our overall risk policies and oversees our overall risk management process. The board has established the Audit committee and, through TD Banknorth, NA, the Board Risk Committee, to oversee key risks. In addition, there is a management Operational Risk Committee, which is comprised of senior officers in key business lines, which identifies and monitors key operational risks. The Operational Risk Committee reports on a regular basis to the Board Risk Committee.

Credit Risk Management

General

The Board Risk Committee monitors our credit risk management. Our strategy for credit risk management includes centralized policies and uniform underwriting criteria for all loans. The strategy also includes diversification on a geographic, industry and customer level, regular credit examinations and quarterly management review of large loans and loans with a deterioration of credit quality. We maintain an internal rating system that provides a mechanism to regularly monitor the credit quality of our loan portfolio. The rating system is intended to identify and measure the credit quality of lending relationships. For consumer loans, we utilize standard credit scoring systems to access consumer credit risks and to price consumer products accordingly. We strive to identify potential problem loans early, take any necessary charge-offs promptly and maintain adequate reserve levels. See “Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” below and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. See Table 16 for information about the scheduled contractual amortization of certain parts of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2005.

Table 23 — Composition of Loans and Leases

The following table presents the composition of our loan and lease portfolio at the dates indicated.


	Successor								Predecessor
	December 31, 2005								December 31, 2004
			Percent			Percent					Percent			Percent
	Amount		of Loans			Nonperforming			Amount		of Loans			Nonperforming

Residential real estate loans	$	2,878,323		14	%		0.28	%	$	3,081,217		16	%		0.25	%
Commercial real estate loans		6,776,837		34	%		0.37	%		6,249,513		34	%		0.48	%
Commercial business loans and leases		4,278,048		21	%		0.47	%		3,928,594		21	%		0.83	%
Consumer loans and leases		6,186,519		31	%		0.12	%		5,333,670		29	%		0.14	%

	$	20,119,727		100	%		0.30	%	$	18,592,994		100	%		0.42	%

Our residential loans are generally secured by single-family homes (one-to-four units) and have a maximum loan to value ratio of 80%, unless the excess is protected by mortgage insurance.

Our commercial real estate loan portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by income-producing commercial real estate (including office and industrial buildings), service industry real estate (including hotels and health care facilities), multi-family (over four units) residential properties and retail trade real estate. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, these loans generally were secured by properties located in the New England states and upstate New York. Generally, commercial real estate loans are diversified among various property types with somewhat higher concentration in multi-family, office and retail properties.

Our commercial business loan and leases are generally made to small to medium size businesses located within our market areas. These loans are not concentrated in any particular industry, but reflect the broad-based economy of New England and upstate New York. Commercial loans consist primarily of loans secured by various equipment, machinery and other corporate assets, as well as loans to provide working capital to businesses in the form of lines of credit. Through a subsidiary, we also offer direct equipment leases, which amounted to $97.6 million at December 31, 2005. From time to time we purchase participations in syndicated commercial loans. At December 31, 2005, we had $544 million of outstanding participations in syndicated commercial loans and had an additional $445 million of unfunded commitments related to these participations. See Table 18 for the geographic distribution of our commercial loans and leases at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Consumer loans and leases consist primarily of home equity lines and loans and direct/indirect automobile loans. Vision, dental and orthodontia fee plan loans and mobile home loans continue to decline since we ceased originating such loans in the fourth quarter of 2003. The decrease in these loan types during 2005 reflect the run-off of these loans. See Table 19 for a breakdown of our consumer loan and lease portfolio by type of loan and lease at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans (which do not include accruing loans 90 days or more overdue), other real estate owned, repossessed assets and certain securities available for sale. Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets amounted to 0.19% at December 31, 2005 and 0.28% at December 31, 2004. Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and other nonperforming assets amounted to 0.30% and 0.44% at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These declines were largely due to specific reserves of $20.4 million being applied to reduce the carrying amounts of commercial loans in connection with use of the purchase method of accounting for the March 1, 2005 transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank.

Table 24 — Five-Year Schedule of Nonperforming Assets

The following table presents a summary of nonperforming assets at December 31, for the years indicated.

(1)		In connection with the accounting for The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction, as of March 1, 2005, specific reserves of $5.9 million were applied to reduce the individual loan balances on impaired commercial real estate loans.

(2)		In connection with the accounting for The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction, as of March 1, 2005, specific reserves of $14.5 million were applied to reduce the individual loan balances on impaired commercial business loans and leases.

(3)		Total loans and leases exclude residential real estate loans held for sale.

We continue to focus on asset quality issues and to allocate significant resources to the key asset quality control functions of credit policy and administration and loan review. The collection, workout and asset management functions focus on the reduction of nonperforming assets. Despite the ongoing focus on asset quality and relatively low levels of nonperforming assets, there can be no assurance that adverse changes in the real estate markets and economic conditions in our primary market areas will not result in higher nonperforming asset levels in the future and negatively impact our operations through higher provisions for loan losses, net charge-offs, decreased accrual of interest income and increased noninterest expenses as a result of the allocation of resources to the collection and workout of nonperforming assets.

Residential real estate loans are generally placed on nonaccrual when they become 120 days past due or are in the process of foreclosure. All closed-end consumer loans 90 days or more past due and any equity lines of credit in the process of foreclosure are placed on nonaccrual status. Consumer loans are charged-off upon reaching 120 or 180 days past due depending on the type of loan. We generally place all commercial real estate loans and commercial business loans and leases which are 90 days or more past due, unless secured by sufficient cash or other assets immediately convertible to cash, on nonaccrual status. At December 31, 2005, we had $6.9 million of accruing loans which were 90 days or more delinquent, as compared to $5.3 million of such loans at December 31, 2004. We also may place loans on nonaccrual and, therefore, nonperforming status which are currently less than 90 days past due or performing in accordance with their terms but which in our judgment are likely to present future principal and/or interest repayment problems and which thus ultimately would be classified as nonperforming.

Net Charge-offs

Net charge-offs amounted to $31.3 million in 2005, as compared to $36.5 million in 2004. Net charge-offs represented 0.16% and 0.21% of average loans and leases outstanding in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(3)		In connection with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction, $20.4 million of the allowance for loan and lease losses related to impaired commercial loans was applied to reduce the carrying values of impaired commercial loans in accordance with the implementation of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer.”

(4)		Excludes residential real estate loans held for sale.

Potential Problem Loans

In addition to the nonperforming loans discussed under “Credit Risk Management” above, we also have loans that are 30 to 89 days delinquent and still accruing. These loans amounted to $153 million and $138 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These loans and delinquency trends, along with accruing loans which are 90 days or more past due and performing loans which are less than 90 day past due or performing in accordance on their terms which we have placed on nonaccrual status, are considered in the evaluation of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the related determination of the provision for loans and lease losses.

Analysis and Determination of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level determined to be adequate by us to absorb future charge-offs of loans and leases deemed uncollectable. This allowance is increased by provisions charged to income and by recoveries on loans previously charged off. For purposes of determining our allowance for loan and lease losses, we specifically evaluate each commercial business and commercial real estate loan which is rated substandard and has a balance in excess of $300 thousand. We evaluate all other loans by loan type on a pooled basis.

Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan and lease losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment and is determined based on our ongoing evaluation. As discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies,” we believe that the methods used by us in determining the allowance for loan and lease losses constitute a critical accounting policy. Although we utilize judgment in providing for losses, for the reasons discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies” and “Credit Risk Management — Nonperforming Assets,” there can be no assurance that we will not have to increase the amount of our provision for loan and lease losses in future periods.

The allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to $223.3 million at December 31, 2005, as compared to $243.2 million at December 31, 2004. The $20 million decrease was due to a $20.4 million transfer to reduce the carrying value of impaired commercial loans related to The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction and net charge-offs exceeding provisions by $14.2 million. The decrease was partially offset by a $14.5 million addition to the allowance from acquired banks. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total portfolio loans and leases at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 1.15% and 1.34%, respectively. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 381% at December 31, 2005 and 322% at

December 31, 2004. Nonperforming assets amounted to $61.5 million, or 0.19% of total assets, at December 31, 2005 as compared to $81.1 million, or 0.28% of total assets at December 31, 2004. The $20 million decrease in nonperforming assets from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005 was largely due to specific reserves of $20.4 million being applied to reduce the carrying amounts of commercial loans in connection with the use of the purchase method of accounting for the March 1, 2005 transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank. Accruing loans 90 days or more past due amounted to $6.9 million at December 31, 2005, as compared to $5.3 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of $1.6 million.

Asset-Liability Management

The goal of asset-liability management is the prudent control of market risk, liquidity and capital. Asset-liability management is governed by policies, goals and objectives that are adopted and reviewed by our board of directors and monitored periodically by the Board Risk Management Committee. The board delegates responsibility for asset-liability management strategies to achieve these goals and objectives to the Asset Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”), which is comprised of members of senior management. Senior management determines the strategic directives that guide the day-to-day management of our activities and interest rate risk exposure. The ALCO also reviews and approves all major risk, liquidity and capital

management programs, except for product pricing. Product pricing is reviewed and approved by the Pricing Committee, which is comprised of a subset of ALCO members and members of senior management.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of loss to future earnings or long-term value resulting from changes in interest rates and is by far the most significant non-credit risk to which we are exposed. This risk arises directly from our core lending and deposit gathering activities and is predominantly concentrated in our mortgage-related assets, as well as in our non-maturity deposits. Mortgage-related assets typically give borrowers the option to prepay at any time without penalty. Principal cash flows that come from these assets are highly interest rate sensitive. As interest rates fall, borrowers are more likely to pay off their existing mortgages, which results in higher cash flows that we must in turn reinvest. Replacing these higher-rate mortgage assets with lower-rate mortgage assets has the potential to reduce our net interest income unless we can also reduce either our wholesale or retail funding costs. In the low interest rate environment, bank deposits can increase, especially if the market risk premium is not sufficient to adequately compensate investors. Consequently, under such circumstances, we can have even more cash to reinvest in low yielding assets. Conversely, rising rates tend to have the opposite effect on both mortgage assets and non-maturity deposits. Higher rates make borrowers less likely to refinance existing debt, resulting in lower cash flows for us to reinvest. And if the market risk premium is sufficiently high, depositors could be enticed to take additional investment risk and move deposits from banks into riskier assets, such as equity securities. This in turn could result in less cash to invest or even require us to use wholesale funding market sources more actively. In the case of higher interest rates, our funding sources could reprice faster than our assets and at higher rates, thereby reducing our interest rate spread and net interest margin. The degree to which future earnings or long-term value is subject to interest rate risk depends on how closely the characteristics of our interest-earning assets match those of our interest-bearing liabilities.

In addition to directly impacting mortgage asset and deposit cash flows, interest rate changes could affect (i) the amount of loans originated and sold by us, (ii) the level and composition of deposits, (iii) the ability of borrowers to repay adjustable or variable rate loans, (iv) the average maturity of loans and investments, (v) the rate of amortization of premiums paid on securities, capitalized mortgage servicing rights, deferred fees and purchase accounting adjustments, (vi) the fair value of our saleable assets, the amount of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale per SFAS No. 115, and the resultant ability to realize gains on the sale of such securities and (vii) per SFAS Nos. 133 and 138, the fair value of derivatives carried on our balance sheet, derivative hedge effectiveness testing and the amount of ineffectiveness recognized in earnings.

Assessment and Measurement

The overall objective of interest rate risk management is to deliver consistent net interest income growth and returns on equity over a wide range of possible interest rate environments. To that end, management focuses on (i) key interest rate risk metrics and assessment of TD Banknorth’s exposure to this risk, (ii) a careful review and consideration of modeling assumptions and (iii) asset and liability management strategies that help attain the corporate goals and objectives adopted by our board of directors.

The primary objective of interest rate risk management is to control our estimated exposure to interest rate risk within limits and guidelines established by the ALCO and approved by our Board. These limits and guidelines reflect our tolerance for interest rate risk over a wide range of both short-term and long-term measurements. In addition, we evaluate interest rate risk based on ongoing business risk measures, liquidation or run-off measures of assets and liabilities on our balance sheet and stress test measures. Ongoing measurements and runoff analysis provide management with information concerning day-to-day operations. Stress testing shows the impact of very extreme but lower probability events. The combination of these measures gives management a comprehensive view of possible risks to future earnings and long-term equity value. We attempt to control interest rate risk by identifying, quantifying and, where appropriate, hedging our exposure to these risks.

Net Interest Income Sensitivity

Net interest income is our largest source of revenue. Net interest income sensitivity is our primary short-term measurement used to assess the interest rate risk of our ongoing business. Management believes that net interest income sensitivity gives us the best perspective on how day-to-day decisions affect our interest rate risk profile. To evaluate net interest income sensitivity, we subject estimated net interest income over a 12-month period to various rate movements using a simulation model for various specified interest rate scenarios. Simulations are run monthly and include scenarios where market rates are “shocked” up and down, scenarios where market rates gradually change or “ramp” up and down and scenarios where the slope of the market yield curve changes. Our base simulation assumes that rates do not change for the next 12 months. The sensitivity measurement is calculated as the percentage variance of the net interest income simulations to the base simulation results. Results for the gradual “ramps” are compared to policy guidelines and are disclosed in the interest rate risk results below.

As indicated in Table 29, assuming a gradual 100 and 200 basis point increase in interest rates starting on December 31, 2005, we estimate that our net interest income in the following 12 months would decrease by 0.41% and 0.88%, respectively. This is because in the event of an upward shift in rates, the simulated increase in interest income would be less than the simulated increase in interest expense because total adjustable rate interest-earning assets generally will reprice less quickly than total interest-bearing liabilities. Also as indicated in Table 29, assuming a gradual 100 and 200 basis point decrease in interest rates starting on the same date, we estimate that our net interest income in the following 12 months would increase by 0.27% and 0.26%, respectively. These results are dependent on material assumptions such as interest rate movements, product pricing, customer behavior and forecasted transactions. This table reflects the impact of all 2005 Asset-Liability Management Actions listed below, as well as the sale of $2.6 billion of mortgage-backed securities as part of the balance sheet restructuring program implemented by us in connection with the acquisition of Hudson in January 2006, and the reinvestment of the proceeds in shorter duration investment securities.

Table 29 — Sensitivity of Net Interest Income

The following table sets forth the estimated sensitivity of our net interest income for the 12 months following the dates indicated.


	200 Basis Point			100 Basis Point			100 Basis Point			200 Basis Point
	Rate Increase			Rate Increase			Rate Decrease			Rate Decrease

December 31, 2005 (Successor)		(0.88	)%		(0.41	)%		0.27	%		0.26	%

December 31, 2004 (Predecessor)		(2.13	)%		(0.68	)%		0.20	%		(1.51	)%

Our asset-liability management policy on interest rate risk simulation specifies that if market interest rates were to shift gradually up or down 200 basis points, estimated net interest income for the subsequent 12 months should decline by less than 5%. All interest rate risk measures were within compliance guidelines at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

2005 Asset Liability Management Actions

The most significant factors affecting market risk exposure of net interest income during the year ended December 31, 2005 were as follows:


	•	changes in the shape of the U.S. Government securities and interest rate swap yield curves,

	•	changes in the prepayment speeds of mortgage assets,

	•	the addition of $2.2 billion of interest rate swap agreements fixing the cash flows of certain variable-rate loans tied to LIBOR or a designated prime rate, which was later terminated, as noted below,


	•	the approximately $3.4 billion deleveraging program implemented in the first quarter of 2005, which included the sale of $519 million of single-family residential loans, $2.4 billion of mortgage-backed securities and $500 million of securities of U.S. federal agencies,

	•	the repurchase of 15.3 million shares of our common stock in the first quarter of 2005,

	•	the issuance in September 2005 of Can$270 million subordinated debt (US$229 million) which has a fixed rate for the first 12 years. Simultaneous with this issuance, we synthetically converted the underlying subordinated debt into U.S. dollars with a cross currency swap described under “Derivative Instruments” below to achieve a fixed rate of 5.05% on US$229 million for 12 years,

	•	the sale of $252 million of primarily fixed-rate one-to-four family residential loans; and

	•	the termination of $2.2 billion of interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges on December 21, 2005, at a loss of $32.2 million. This loss is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on an after tax basis and will be amortized as a reduction of interest income over the remaining life of the hedged items. By removing the effective caps on the rates of certain variable rate loans, this transaction significantly reduces our net interest income risk to further rate increases.

The Federal Reserve Board continued to raise short-term interest rates by increasing the federal funds target from 2.25% on January 1, 2005 to 4.25% by the end of the year. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield was up approximately 17 basis points for the year ended December 31, 2005, from December 31, 2004. Mortgage rates rose with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, with our 30-year conforming single-family residential mortgage rate up 50 basis points from December 31, 2004. As a result, the yield curve has flattened considerably, with the spread between the 90-day U.S. Treasury Bill and five year U.S. Treasury Note at only 28 basis points at December 31, 2005 compared to 138 basis points at December 31, 2004. Table 29 incorporates the estimated net impact of these changes, as well as planned 2006 activity, assuming various changes in interest rates.

Derivative Instruments

Purpose and Benefits

Derivative financial instruments are important tools that we use to manage interest rate risk, and to a lesser degree, currency risk (related to the Canadian denominated subordinated debt issuance by TD Banknorth, NA in September 2005), and price risk (related to restricted stock unit awards based on the price of The Toronto-Dominion Bank common stock granted by us in March 2005.)

The following table shows our derivative positions at December 31, 2005 scheduled by maturity.

Designated Hedges

Through February 28, 2005, certain interest-rate swap contracts were designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate borrowings, consisting of $200 million of subordinated debt (7.625% due 2011), $150.0 million of senior notes (3.75% due 2008) and $191.5 million of FHLB advances (weighted average rate of 5.26% maturing through September 2005). Effective March 1, 2005, and as a result of The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction and related purchase accounting adjustments, these swaps no longer qualified for fair value hedge accounting. All of these interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges prior to March 1, 2005 were terminated on May 15, 2005.

In June 2005, we entered into a $165 million 10-year U.S. Treasury rate lock agreement expiring in July 2005 to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the forecasted issuance of subordinated debt. The rate lock was eventually terminated in September 2005, when a decision was made to issue the subordinated debt in Canada backed by a guarantee of The Toronto-Dominion Bank rather than in the U.S. because such an issuance would result in lower funding costs, lower issuance costs via a private placement and a longer fixed term. We estimate the annual cost savings of this decision to be approximately $0.4 million per year. A loss of $0.7 million was recognized in connection with this termination. Subsequently, TD Banknorth, NA issued Can$270 million subordinated debt in September 2005. This debt is guaranteed by The Toronto-Dominion Bank and is described above under “2005 Asset-Liability Management Actions.” Simultaneously, we synthetically converted the underlying subordinated debt into U.S. dollars with a fixed rate of 5.05% for the initial 12-year period with a cross-currency swap agreement executed with TD Securities.

As noted above, on December 21, 2005, we terminated $2.2 billion of interest rate swap agreements previously designated as cash flow hedges of certain variable rate loans.

In December 2005, we entered into an equity total return swap that matures on March 1, 2008. This swap will return to us the change in price on 509,809 common shares of The Toronto-Dominion Bank on the New York Stock Exchange less the cost to carry these shares, which is equal to 3 month LIBOR less The Toronto-Dominion Bank quarterly dividend. This swap hedges restricted share units tied to the price of The Toronto-Dominion Bank common shares granted under retention agreements which were entered into with eight of our executive officers in connection with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction and a 2005 Performance Based Restricted Share Unit Plan adopted pursuant thereto.

We manage the interest rate risk inherent in our mortgage banking operations by entering into forward sales contracts. An increase in market interest rates between the time we commit to terms on a loan and the time we ultimately sell the loan in the secondary market generally will have the effect of reducing the gain (or increasing the loss) we record on the sale. We attempt to mitigate this risk by entering into forward sales commitments in amounts sufficient to cover 70% to 90% of loans held for sale which are currently closed or are anticipated to close.

Table 31 — Mortgage Loans Held for Sale and Related Hedges

The following table summarizes the average balances of residential mortgage loans held for sale and related hedge positions during the periods indicated.

Customer-related Positions

Interest rate derivatives, primarily interest-rate swaps, offered to commercial borrowers through our hedging program are designated as speculative under SFAS No. 133. However, we believe that our exposure to commercial customer derivatives is limited because these contracts are simultaneously matched at inception with an identical dealer transaction. The commercial customer hedging program allows us to retain variable-rate commercial loans while allowing the customer to synthetically fix the loan rate by entering into a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we recorded a total notional amount of $678.6 million of interest rate swap agreements with commercial borrowers and an equal notional amount of dealer transactions. It is anticipated that over time customer interest rate derivatives will reduce the interest rate risk inherent in our longer-term, fixed-rate commercial business and real estate loans. The customer-related positions summarized in Table 30 include both the customer and offsetting dealer transactions.

Foreign Exchange or Market Risk

Our earnings are not directly and materially impacted by movements in foreign currency rates or commodity prices. Virtually all transactions are denominated in the U.S. dollar. Movements in equity prices may have an indirect but modest impact on earnings by affecting the volume of activity or the amount of fees from investment-related businesses.

Foreign currency forward and option contracts are contracts that we enter into as an accommodation for customers involved in international trade for the future delivery or purchase of foreign currency at a specified price. For these creditworthy customers, we set aside a percentage of the customer’s available line of credit until the foreign currency contract is settled. Foreign exchange and trade services are provided under a private label arrangement with a correspondent bank. Risks arise from the possible inability of the seller and/or our customer to perform and from any resultant exposure to movement in foreign currency exchange rates, limiting our exposure to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional principal or contract amounts.

Liquidity

Our Board Risk Management Committee establishes policies and analyzes and manages liquidity to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet normal operating requirements in addition to unexpected customer demands for funds, such as high levels of deposit withdrawals or loan demand, in a timely and cost-effective manner. The most important factor in the preservation of liquidity is maintaining public confidence that facilitates the retention and growth of a large, stable supply of core deposits and wholesale funds. Ultimately, public confidence is generated through profitable operations, sound credit quality and a strong capital position. Liquidity management is viewed from a long-term and a short-term perspective, as well as

from an asset and liability perspective. We monitor liquidity through a regular review of loan and deposit maturities, yield and rate scenarios and loan and deposit forecasts to minimize funding risk. Other factors affecting our ability to meet liquidity needs include variations in the markets served and general economic conditions. We have various funding sources available to us on a parent-only basis as well as through our banking subsidiary, as outlined below.

On a parent company-only basis, our commitments and debt service requirements at December 31, 2005 consisted primarily of $366.2 million of junior subordinated debentures and $150 million of 3.75% senior notes due May 1, 2008. See “Capital” and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. The principal sources of funds for us to meet parent-only obligations are dividends from TD Banknorth, NA,, which are subject to regulatory limitations, income from investment securities and borrowings from public and private sources, including draws on our $110 million unsecured line of credit which is renewable every 364 days and, if used, carries interest at LIBOR plus 0.60%. At December 31, 2005, TD Banknorth, NA had $73.4 million available for dividends that could be paid without prior regulatory approval. In addition, the parent company had $224 million in cash or cash equivalents at December 31, 2005. See also “Financial Condition Ô Other Funding Sources” above. For information on restrictions on the payment of dividends by TD Banknorth, NA, see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

Banking Subsidiary

For TD Banknorth, NA, liquidity represents the ability to fund asset growth, accommodate deposit withdrawals and meet other contractual obligations and commercial commitments. See “Table 22 — Contractual Obligations and Commitments” above. Liquidity is measured by the ability to raise cash when needed at a reasonable cost. Many factors affect a bank’s ability to meet its liquidity needs, including variations in the markets served, its asset-liability mix, its reputation and credit standing in the market and general economic conditions.

In addition to traditional retail deposits, TD Banknorth, NA has various other liquidity sources, including proceeds from maturing securities and loans, the sale of securities, asset securitizations and borrowed funds such as FHLB advances, reverse repurchase agreements and brokered deposits.

We continually monitor and forecast our liquidity position. There are several interdependent methods used by us for this purpose, including daily review of fed funds positions, monthly review of balance sheet changes, monthly review of liquidity ratios, periodic liquidity forecasts and periodic review of contingent funding plans.

At December 31, 2005, TD Banknorth, NA had in the aggregate $5.6 billion of currently accessible liquidity through collateralized borrowings or security sales. This represented 28% of retail deposits, as compared to a policy minimum of 10% of deposits.

Also at December 31, 2005, TD Banknorth, NA had in the aggregate potentially volatile funds of $4.0 billion. These are funds that might flow out of TD Banknorth, NA over a 90-day period in an adverse environment. Management estimates this figure by applying adverse probabilities to its various credit-sensitive and economically-sensitive funding sources.

At December 31, 2005, the ratio of currently accessible liquidity to potentially volatile funds was 140%, compared to a policy minimum of 100%.

In addition to the liquidity sources discussed above, we believe that our residential and consumer loan portfolios provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales or securitizations. We believe we also have significant untapped access to the national brokered deposit market. These sources are contemplated as secondary liquidity in our contingent funding plan. We believe that the level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements. For additional information regarding off-balance sheet risks and commitments, see Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

We have a shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission which allows us to sell up to $1.0 billion of debt securities, preferred stock, depository shares, common stock and warrants

and which allows affiliated trusts to sell capital securities. We had $650 million of remaining authority under this shelf registration statement at December 31, 2005.

Capital

We are committed to managing capital for shareholder benefit and maintaining protection for depositors and creditors. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, our shareholders’ equity totaled $6.5 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, or 20.20% and 11.07% of total assets, respectively.

The $3.3 billion increase in shareholders’ equity in 2005 was primarily attributable to the purchase accounting adjustments recorded in connection with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction that resulted in a $3.4 billion increase to shareholders’ equity. Other factors attributable to the increase were our $274 million net income in 2005 and the issuance of shares of our common stock with an aggregate value of $199.8 million in connection with acquisitions by us in 2005. These increases were partially offset by $148.4 million in dividends to shareholders and a $10.6 million net change in unrealized loss on securities available for sale.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, we repurchased 15.3 million shares at an average price of $31.79. We did not repurchase any shares in 2004.

In December 2005 and January 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a total repurchase of up to 10.5 million shares of common stock of TD Banknorth in the open market after the completion of the acquisition of Hudson United Bancorp.

Capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board require us to maintain certain ratios. We maintain capital ratios to exceed “well capitalized” capital levels in accordance with capital guidelines approved by our board of directors. Our Tier 1 Capital, as defined by the Federal Reserve Board, was $1.9 billion or 7.06% of average assets at December 31, 2005, compared to $2.1 billion or 7.58% of average assets at December 31, 2004. We also are required to maintain capital ratios based on the level or our assets, as adjusted to reflect their perceived level of risk. Our regulatory capital ratios currently exceed all applicable requirements. See Note 15 to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

TD Banknorth, NA is also subject to federal regulatory capital requirements. At December 31, 2005, TD Banknorth, NA was deemed to be “well capitalized” under the regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of Currency of the United States and in compliance with applicable capital requirements. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8.

When evaluating the issuance of long-term debt at the holding company level versus receiving dividends from TD Banknorth, NA, we first consider the regulatory capital ratios of TD Banknorth, NA and the proforma impact of potential acquisitions on these capital ratios. Our policy is to maintain capital ratios at the bank and holding company at levels in excess of “well-capitalized” levels — specifically a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio between 5.50% and 6.00% (compared to 5.00% needed to be considered “well-capitalized”) and total risk-based capital ratio of 10.50% (compared to 10.00% needed to be considered “well-capitalized”). We maintain this policy so that we and TD Banknorth, NA will be able to support changes in the composition of our assets and growth, including by acquisition.

At December 31, 2005, we had seven affiliated trusts which were formed for the purpose of issuing to unaffiliated parties capital securities and investing the proceeds from the sale thereof in junior subordinated debentures issued by us or companies acquired by us. All of the proceeds from the issuance of the capital securities and the common securities issued by the trusts are invested in our junior subordinated debentures, which represent the sole assets of the trusts. The capital securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at the same rate as the junior subordinated debentures held by the trusts. We own all of the outstanding common securities of the trusts and effectively are the guarantor of the obligations of the trusts.

Table 32 — Capital Securities

The following table provides information on each of our affiliated trusts and the outstanding capital securities of such trusts and the related junior subordinated debentures issued by us at December 31, 2005.

(1)		Amounts include junior subordinated debentures acquired by affiliated trusts from us with the capital contributed by us in exchange for the common securities of such trusts. Junior subordinated debentures are equal to capital securities plus common securities.

At December 31, 2005, trust preferred securities amounted to 17.3% of TD Banknorth Inc.’s Tier 1 capital. Effective April 11, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final regulation which permits bank holding companies to continue to include trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, subject to stricter quantitative and qualitative standards. Although this final regulation becomes effective on March 31, 2007, TD Banknorth Inc. is currently in compliance with the stricter quantitative and qualitative standards.

At December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, our consolidated borrowings included $225.2 million of subordinated notes due in 2011 and $232.2 million of subordinated notes due in 2022 issued by TD Banknorth, NA, both of which qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

Banking regulators have also established guidelines as to the level of investments in BOLI. These guidelines are expressed in terms of a percentage of Tier 1 capital plus loan loss reserves. Our internal guideline (which is consistent with regulatory guidelines) is that BOLI should not exceed 25% of our Tier 1 capital plus loan loss reserves, which we monitor monthly. The ratio of BOLI to Tier 1 capital plus loan loss reserves increased to 26.68% at December 31, 2005 as compared to 22.6% at December 31, 2004 due to BOLI acquired from the BostonFed acquisition.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting and reporting policies comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. The financial position and results of operations can be affected by these estimates and assumptions, which are integral to understanding reported results. Management has discussed the development and the selection of critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our board of directors. We have identified the following critical accounting policies: allowance for loan and lease losses, accounting for acquisitions and review of related goodwill and other intangible assets, accounting for pension plans, accrued income taxes and accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. We consider these policies as our critical accounting policies due to the potential impact on our results of operations and the carrying

value of certain of our assets based on any changes in judgments and assumptions required to be made by us in the application of these policies.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses at a level which we believe is sufficient to cover potential charge-offs on loans and leases deemed to be uncollectible based on continuous review of a variety of factors. These factors consist of the character and size of the loan portfolio, business and economic conditions, loan growth, charge-off experience, delinquency trends, nonperforming loan trends, portfolio migration data and other asset quality factors. The primary means of adjusting the level of this allowance is through provisions for loan and lease losses, which are established and charged to income on a quarterly basis. Although we use available information to establish the appropriate level of the allowance for loan and lease losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary because our estimates of the potential losses in our loan and lease portfolio are susceptible to change as a result of changes in the factors noted above. Any such increases would adversely affect our results of operations. At December 31, 2005, our allowance for loan and lease losses amounted to $223.0 million, and during 2005, 2004, and 2003 our provisions for loan and lease losses amounted to $17.2 million, $40.3 million, and $42.3 million, respectively. See also “Credit Risk Management” above.

For the commercial business loans and leases and the commercial real estate loans portfolios, we formally evaluate specific commercial and commercial real estate loans rated “substandard” or worse in excess of $300 thousand. On an ongoing basis, an independent loan review department reviews classified loans to ensure the accuracy of the loan classifications. Estimated reserves for each of these credits are determined by reviewing current collateral value, financial information, cash flow, payment history and trends and other relevant facts surrounding the particular credit. In addition, the appraisal function reviews the reasonableness of the third party appraisals related to these loans. Provisions for losses on the remaining commercial loans are based on pools of similar loans using a combination of historical loss experience and migration analysis, which considers the probability of a loan moving from one risk rating category to another over the passage of time and qualitative adjustments.

For the residential real estate and consumer loan portfolios, the range of reserves is calculated by applying historical charge-off and recovery experience to the current outstanding balance in each loan category, with consideration given to loan growth over the preceding twelve months.

Using the determined mid-point of the range, management uses various quantitative and qualitative factors to determine the appropriate point above or below the range mid-point. This process is supported by objective factors including:


	•	historical loss experience;

	•	trends in delinquency and nonperforming loans;

	•	changes in product offerings or loan terms;

	•	changes in underwriting and /or collections policies;

	•	changes in management of underwriting and collection departments; and

	•	regional and national economic conditions and trends.

Accounting for Acquisitions and Review of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In connection with acquisitions of other companies, we generally record as assets on our financial statements both goodwill and identifiable intangible assets such as core deposits intangibles, non-compete agreements and customer lists. Due to a change in an accounting standard, since January 1, 2002 we no longer amortize the amount of our goodwill through a charge to expense over the period of its expected life. Instead, we regularly evaluate whether the carrying value of our goodwill has become impaired, in which case we reduce its carrying value through a charge to our earnings. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at the

reporting unit level, and there is goodwill recorded in all reporting units. Core deposit and other identifiable intangible assets are amortized to expense over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The valuation techniques used by us to determine the carrying value of tangible and intangible assets acquired in acquisitions and the estimated lives of identifiable intangible assets involve estimates for discount rates, projected future cash flows and time period calculations, all of which are susceptible to change based on changes in economic conditions and other factors. Any change in the estimates which we use to determine the carrying value of our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets or which otherwise adversely affects their value or estimated lives would adversely affect our results of operations. As a result of the transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank on March 1, 2005 and in accordance with the guidelines for accounting for business combinations, an additional $3.0 billion of goodwill and $705 million of additional identifiable intangible assets were created. At December 31, 2005, our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets amounted to $4.5 billion and $668 million, respectively, and during 2005, 2004 and 2003 our amortization expense amounted to $105.1 million, $8.6 million, and $8.9 million, respectively. There was no impairment recorded in 2005, 2004 or 2003.

Accounting for Pension Plans

We use a December 31 measurement date to determine our pension expense and related financial disclosure information. In accordance with SFAS No. 87, we set the discount rate for our retirement plans by reference to investment grade bond yields. In December 2005, we modified our discount rate section to adopt a more detailed cash flow modeling approach consistent with the intent of SFAS 87. Previously we referred to Moodys AA yield for long-term corporate bonds to select a discount rate. We now look to the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve and Liability Index for guidance. In developing the discount rate or rates used for our plans, we apply each plan’s expected cash flow to the interest rates provided in the Discount Curve as of December 31 to develop a single equivalent discount rate. Similarly, we evaluate the expected long-term rate of return on the assets held in our defined benefit pension plan based on market and economic conditions, the plan’s asset allocation and other factors. As a consequence of our most recent annual review, we reduced the discount rate for all of our employee benefit plans from 5.75% as of December 31, 2004 to 5.50% as of December 31, 2005. Our expected rate of return on our pension plan assets was 8.5% for 2005 and is the same for 2006.

Pension expense is sensitive to changes in the discount rate. For example, adjusting the discount rate by 25 basis points (while holding other assumptions constant) would increase or decrease the forecasted 2006 expense for our defined benefit plan by approximately $1.5 million.

Pension expense is also sensitive to changes in the expected return on assets. For example, adjusting the expected rate of return by 25 basis points (while holding other assumptions constant) would increase or decrease the forecasted 2006 expense for our defined benefit plan by approximately $750 thousand.

As with the computations on pension expense, cash contribution requirements to the pension plan are sensitive to changes in the assumed discount rate and the assumed rate of return on plan assets. We have traditionally contributed the maximum tax-deductible amount to our pension plan each year.

Accrued Income Taxes

We estimate income taxes payable based on the amount we expect to owe various tax authorities. Taxes are discussed in more detail in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Accrued income taxes represent the net estimated amount due to or to be received from taxing authorities. In estimating accrued income taxes, management assesses the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment of transactions taking into account statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance in the context of our tax position. We also rely on tax opinions, recent state audits and historical experience. Although we use available information to record accrued income taxes, underlying estimates and assumptions can change over time as a result of unanticipated events or circumstances such as changes in tax laws influencing our overall tax position.

Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities

We use various derivative financial instruments to assist in managing our interest-rate, foreign currency, and equity market risks and help our customers manage their interest rate risk. These derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended. We formally document relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. We also assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows or fair value of hedged items. For both fair value and cash flow hedges, certain assumptions and forecasts related to the impact of changes in interest rates on the fair value of the derivative and the item being hedged must be documented at the inception of the hedging relationship to demonstrate that the derivative instrument will be effective in hedging the designated risk. If these assumptions or forecasts do not accurately reflect subsequent changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument or the designated item being hedged, we might be required to discontinue the use of hedge accounting for that derivative instrument. Once hedge accounting is terminated, all subsequent changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument must flow through the consolidated statements of income in other noninterest income, which would result in greater volatility in our earnings.

1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General

We, TD Banknorth Inc., are a bank/financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, which conducts business through TD Banknorth, National Association (“TD Banknorth, NA” or the “Bank”) and various nonbanking subsidiaries. We are a majority-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank and successor to Banknorth Group, Inc. The Toronto-Dominion Bank acquired a majority interest in us effective March 1, 2005 in a two-step transaction in which Banknorth Group, Inc. first reincorporated from Maine to Delaware by means of a migratory merger into a newly-formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of Banknorth Group, Inc., and then The Toronto-Dominion Bank acquired a majority interest of TD Banknorth by means of the merger of a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank with and into this reincorporated entity, which changed its name to “TD Banknorth Inc.” upon completion of the transaction. In accordance with the guidelines for accounting for business combinations, the transaction met the technical definition of a business combination, and therefore, was accounted for as a purchase business combination with the purchase price being comprised of all the consideration received by the shareholders of Banknorth Group, Inc., namely:


	•	cash paid by The Toronto-Dominion Bank,


	•	the value of The Toronto-Dominion Bank common shares issued and

	•	the value of TD Banknorth Inc. shares issued.

The purchase price and related purchase accounting adjustments have been recorded in the financial statements at and for the periods commencing March 1, 2005. This resulted in a new basis of accounting reflecting the fair value of assets and liabilities at March 1, 2005 and for the “successor” periods beginning on March 1, 2005. Information for all dates and “predecessor” periods prior to the acquisition on March 1, 2005 is presented using the historical basis of accounting.

The accounting and reporting policies of TD Banknorth and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practice within the banking industry. Our principal business activities are retail and commercial banking and, to a lesser extent, wealth management, investment planning and insurance agency services, and are conducted through our direct and indirect subsidiaries located in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont and New York. TD Banknorth and its subsidiaries are subject to regulation of, and periodic examination by, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency and the Federal Reserve Board and the Superintendent of the Maine Bureau of Financial Regulations, among other agencies.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the words “TD Banknorth,” “we,” “our” and “us” herein refer to TD Banknorth Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Financial Statement Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of TD Banknorth and its subsidiaries. Our principal operating subsidiary is TD Banknorth, NA. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Assets held in a fiduciary capacity are not assets of TD Banknorth and, accordingly, are not included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses, accounting for acquisitions, review of goodwill and intangible assets for impairment, accounting for pension plans, accrued income taxes and accounting for derivatives and hedging activities.

Specific Accounting Policies

To facilitate a better understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements, we have disclosed the significant accounting policies in the applicable notes with related financial disclosures as follows:


Note	Topic	Page

5	Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity	78
6	Loans and Leases	81
7	Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses	84
8	Premises and Equipment	86
9	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	87
10	Income Taxes	89
18	Earnings Per Share	101
20	Derivative Instruments	102
23	Stock-Based Compensation and Incentive Plans	108
24	Retirement and Other Benefit Plans	112

The following is a description of other accounting policies not incorporated in the notes referred to above.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments with maturities less than 90 days. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

We are required to comply with various laws and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board which require us to maintain certain amounts of cash on deposit and are restricted from investing those amounts.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) represents the cash surrender value of life insurance policies on the lives of certain employees where the Bank is beneficiary. The cash surrender value of the policies is recorded as an asset and increases in the cash value of the policies, as well as any insurance proceeds received, are recorded in other noninterest income, and are not subject to income taxes. The tax benefits of our BOLI policies are designed to mitigate the increasing costs of our employee benefit programs. We review the financial strength of the insurance carrier prior to the purchase of BOLI and annually thereafter, and BOLI with any individual carrier is limited to 10% of capital plus reserves.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other than Goodwill

We review long-lived assets, including premises and equipment and other intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the remaining useful life may warrant revision or that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be fully recoverable. We perform undiscounted cash flow analyses to determine if impairment exists. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal.

Mortgage Banking and Loans Held for Sale

Residential mortgage loans originated for sale are classified as held for sale. These loans are specifically identified and carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated market value. Market value is estimated based on outstanding investor commitments or, in the absence of such commitments, current investor yield requirements. Forward commitments to sell residential real estate mortgages are contracts that we enter into for the purpose of reducing the market risk associated with originating loans for sale should interest rates change. Forward commitments to sell are recorded at fair value and are included with loans held for sale and changes in fair value are included in other comprehensive income and are reclassified into mortgage banking income when the related transaction affects earnings. Commitments to originate rate-locked loans are also accounted for at fair value and are classified in other assets. Gains and losses related to commitments to originate rate-locked loans are included in earnings with mortgage banking income.

Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are determined using the specific identification method and recorded as mortgage sales income, a component of mortgage banking services income. The gains and losses resulting from the sales of loans with servicing retained are adjusted to recognize the present value of future servicing fee income over the estimated lives of the related loans. Residential real estate loans originated for sale and the related servicing rights are generally sold on a flow basis.

Retained mortgage servicing rights are amortized on a method based on forecasted cash flows of the underlying loans serviced for others. Amortization is recorded as a charge against mortgage service fee income, a component of mortgage banking services income. Our assumptions with respect to prepayments, which affect the estimated average life of the loans, are adjusted quarterly to reflect current circumstances. In evaluating the realizability of the carrying values of mortgage servicing rights, we obtain third party valuations based on loan level data including note rate, type and term on the underlying loans.

Mortgage servicing fees received from investors for servicing their loan portfolios are recorded as mortgage servicing fee income when received. Loan servicing costs are charged to noninterest expense when incurred.

Investments in Limited Partnerships

We have investments in both tax advantaged and small business investment limited partnerships. The tax advantaged limited partnerships are primarily involved in approved low income housing investment tax credit projects located in our market area while the small business investment limited partnerships are primarily providing seed money to small businesses also in our market area. These investments are included in other assets and are not required to be consolidated under FASB Interpretation Number 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51.” Investments in the tax advantaged limited partnerships are amortized as a charge to tax expense over the same period the tax credits are expected to be received. The investments in small business investment limited partnerships, for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence (generally, a 3% or greater ownership interest), are reviewed and adjusted quarterly based on the equity method; adjustments are recorded in other noninterest income. If we do not

TD BANKNORTH INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — (Continued)

exercise significant influence, our investment is accounted for under the cost method and the carrying value is periodically evaluated for other than temporary impairment. Except for fixed capital or loan commitments agreed to in advance, the partnerships have no recourse to us.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at prevailing year end rates of exchange. Foreign currency income and expenses are translated into US dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the fiscal year. Unrealized translation gains and losses and all realized gains and losses, net of any offsetting gains and losses arising from hedges, are included in other income in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Segment Reporting

An operating segment is defined as a component of a business for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate performance. Our primary business segment is community banking, which provided approximately 91% of its total revenues and 95% of its pre-tax income for the period March 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005 and approximately 91% of its total revenues and 96% of its pre-tax income in 2004. As all other business segment comprise less than 10% of revenues and pre-tax income, disaggregated segment information is not presented in the notes to the financial statements.


2.	Accounting Changes

The following information addresses new or proposed accounting pronouncements related to our industry.

Accounting for Share-Based Payments

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS 123R”), which requires companies to recognize in the income statement the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees, including employee stock purchase plans over the service period. FAS 123R is effective for TD Banknorth on January 1, 2006. Current disclosure provisions under FAS 123 are still applicable. In addition to the compensation expense on stock option awards granted after January 1, 2006, compensation expense on unvested equity-based awards that were granted prior to the effective date must be recognized in the income statement. Compensation expense on unvested options outstanding at December 31, 2005 is expected to be $7.8 million in 2006, $6.8 million in 2007 and $3.7 million in 2008. Any options awarded after January 1, 2006 will increase these amounts. We have adopted FAS 123R on January 1, 2006. FAS 123R will not have a material impact on our financial condition or cash flows.

Accounting for Certain Loan or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer.

In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (“SOP”) 03-3. SOP 03-3 requires loans acquired through a transfer, such as a business combination, where there are differences in expected cash flows and contractual cash flows due in part to credit quality, be recognized at their fair value. This SOP requires that the original excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected may not be recognized as an adjustment of yield, loss accrual, or valuation allowance. Any future excess of cash flows over the original expected cash flows is to be recognized as an adjustment of future yield. Future decreases in actual cash flow compared to the original expected cash flow are recognized as a valuation allowance and expensed immediately. Valuation allowances cannot be created or

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

2. Accounting Changes — (Continued)

“carried over” in the initial accounting for impaired loans acquired. This SOP is effective for impaired loans acquired in a business combination in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. The adoption of this SOP on January 1, 2005 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, earnings per share or cash flows. Also see Note 6 for information regarding the effects of SOP 03-3 related to The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction and purchase accounting adjustments recorded on March 1, 2005.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments of Certain Investments

On November 3, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1 “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. This FSP addresses the determination as to when an investment is considered impaired, whether that impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. The FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires certain disclosure about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance in this FSP must be applied to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. The implementation of this FSP is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections

In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“FAS 154”), which will require entities that voluntarily make a change in accounting principle to apply that change retrospectively to prior periods’ financial statements, unless this would be impracticable. FAS 154 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes”, which previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in the current period’s net income the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. FAS 154 also makes a distinction between “retrospective application” of a change in accounting principle and the “restatement” of financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. FAS 154 applies to accounting changes and error corrections that are made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

3. Accounting for the Transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank

As discussed in Note 1, the transaction with The Toronto-Dominion Bank was accounted for as a purchase business combination and, as a result, the assets and liabilities of the predecessor company were adjusted to fair value as of the date of completion of the transaction. The following table sets forth how the purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the March 1, 2005 transaction date.


Implied Purchase Price
Value of TD common shares exchanged (1)	$	1,806,535
Cash consideration (including cash in lieu of fractional shares)		2,306,947
Value of 49% of TD Banknorth shares exchanged (2)		2,686,802
Fair value of TD Banknorth stock options		35,831

Total implied purchase price		6,836,115

Allocation of the Implied Purchase Price
Predecessor stockholders’ equity as of March 1, 2005		3,415,121
Predecessor goodwill and intangible assets		(1,565,293	)
Adjustments to reflect assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value:
Loans		109,630
Loan relationship intangibles		95,826
Core deposit intangibles		566,000
Other identifiable intangibles		105,612
Deferred income taxes on identifiable intangible assets		(272,056	)
Other assets		12,172
Fixed maturity deposits		(46,790	)
Borrowings		(59,731	)
Pension and post-employment benefit plans		(93,546	)
All other		31,547

Fair value of net assets acquired		2,298,492

Estimated goodwill from the transaction at March 1, 2005		4,537,623
Adjustments recorded subsequent to March 1, 2005		9,981

Goodwill at December 31, 2005	$	4,547,604


(1)		Based on 188,428,501 Banknorth Group, Inc. shares times exchange ratio of 0.2351 times $40.78, the closing price of the TD common shares on March 1, 2005.

(2)		Based on 188,428,501 Banknorth Group, Inc. shares times 49% times $29.10, the opening price of the TD Banknorth common stock on March 2, 2005

The primary adjustments since March 1, 2005 related to a higher tax rate used to estimate the deferred tax liability on purchase accounting adjustments. We expect that additional adjustments of the estimated fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may be recorded in future periods, although such adjustments are not expected to be significant. It is expected that goodwill will not be deductible for income tax purposes.

4. Acquisitions

Acquisitions are an important part of our strategic plan. The following table summarizes bank acquisitions completed by us since January 1, 2003. The acquisitions were accounted for as purchases and, as such, were included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition.

On January 21, 2005, we acquired BostonFed Bancorp, Inc. (“BostonFed”) for a total purchase price of $200.2 million. The purchase price was comprised of 6,154,155 shares of our common stock and $0.3 million in cash. The total value of the shares issued was $199.9 million, calculated based on the average closing price of our common stock for the period commencing two trading days before, and ending two trading days after, June 21, 2004, the date of the merger agreement. The purchase price was allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired ($1.5 billion), liabilities assumed ($1.4 billion) and identifiable intangible assets ($13.2 million).

We acquired four insurance agencies from 2003 to 2005. The total cost of these agencies was $15.7 million.

We acquired Hudson United Bancorp on January 31, 2006. See Note 28 for more information.


5.	Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity

Investments in debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and reflected at amortized cost.

Investments not classified as “held to maturity” are classified as “available for sale.” Securities available for sale consist of debt and equity securities that are available for sale in order to respond to changes in market interest rates, liquidity needs, changes in funding sources and other similar factors. These assets are specifically identified and are carried at market value. Changes in market value of available for sale securities, net of applicable income taxes, are reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income. When a decline in market value of a security is considered other than temporary, the cost basis of the individual security is written down to market value as the new cost basis and the loss is charged to net securities gains (losses) in the consolidated statements of income as a writedown. We do not have a trading portfolio.

Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted over the term of the securities on a method that approximates the interest method. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recognized at the time of the sale using the specific identification method.

As a result of The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction and related purchase accounting adjustments recorded on March 1, 2005, all unrealized gains and/or losses on investment securities were reclassified as basis adjustments of the individual securities at March 1, 2005. Accordingly, at December 31, 2005 there were no unrealized losses in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than ten months.

For securities with unrealized losses, the following information was considered in determining that the impairments are not other-than-temporary. U.S. Government securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States and therefore bear no credit risk. U.S. Government agencies securities have minimal credit risk as they play a vital role in the nation’s financial markets. Other bonds and notes are generally comprised of corporate securities and all investments maintain a credit rating of at least investment grade by one of the nationally recognized rating agencies. No unrealized losses were determined to be other-than-temporary for U.S. Government and agencies securities and for other bonds and notes. Mortgage-backed securities or collateralized mortgage obligations are either issued by federal government agencies or by private issuers with minimum security ratings of AA. As of December 31, 2005, $2.6 billion of mortgage-backed securities were identified as other than temporarily impaired. Consequently, a securities loss of $45 million ($29.3 million after-tax) was recognized in December 2005. These securities were sold in January 2006 in connection with a balance sheet restructuring program. The securities loss is included in realized losses in the table below.

At December 31, 2005, U.S. Government obligations and obligations of U.S. Government agencies and corporations included three securities which had unrealized losses, all of which were U.S. Treasury notes. Market value declines were due to changes in interest rates since the date of purchase.

The amortized cost and market values of debt securities at December 31, 2005 by contractual maturities are shown below. Actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

6.	Loans and Leases

Our lending activities are conducted principally in New England and upstate New York. Loans are carried at the principal amounts outstanding adjusted by partial charge-offs, fair value adjustments and net deferred charges of $44.7 million at December 31, 2005 and $23.0 million at December 31, 2004. Deferred charges include deferred loan origination costs, net of deferred loan origination fees and unearned discounts. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred, and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield using methods that approximate the level yield method over the estimated lives of the related loans.

Total loans and leases	$	20,119,727	$	18,592,994

Residential real estate loans, which are secured by single-family (one to four units) residences, are generally placed on nonaccrual when reaching 120 days past due or in process of foreclosure.

Commercial real estate loans, which are secured by multi-family (five or more units) residential, and commercial real estate and commercial business loans and leases which are 90 days or more past due are generally placed on nonaccrual status, unless secured by sufficient cash or other assets immediately convertible to cash. When a loan has been placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest on loans. A loan can be returned to accrual status when collectibility of principal is reasonably assured and the loan has performed for a period of time, generally six months. Commercial real estate and commercial business loans are considered impaired when it is probable that TD Banknorth will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral value.

Consumer lease financing loans are carried at the amount of minimum lease payments plus residual values, less unearned income which is amortized into interest income using the interest method. All closed-end consumer loans 90 days or more past due and any equity line in the process of foreclosure are placed on nonaccrual status. Secured consumer loans are written down to realizable value and unsecured consumer loans are charged-off upon reaching 120 or 180 days past due depending on the type of loan.

Impaired loans

Impaired loans are commercial and commercial real estate loans which we believe will probably not result in the collection of all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “nonaccrual loans,” although the two categories overlap. All nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate loans are impaired, but not all impaired loans are on nonaccrual. Accrual of interest on commercial and commercial real estate loans is generally discontinued when collectibility of principal or interest is uncertain or on which payments of principal or interest have become contractually past due 90 days. We may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectibility. The amount of reserves for impaired loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original contractual interest rate, and its recorded value, or, as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loans. When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell.

The following table sets forth information on our impaired loans at the dates and for the periods indicated.

In connection with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction, and in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer,” on March 1, 2005, $21.4 million of the allowance for loan and lease losses related to impaired commercial real estate and commercial business loans was transferred out of the allowance for loan and lease losses and applied to reduce the carrying value of the impaired loans.

The loans acquired by us that are within the scope of SOP 03-3 are not accounted for using the income recognition model of the SOP because the timing of cash flows expected to be collected cannot be reasonably estimated. Therefore, no accretable yield was recorded at the date of acquisition. Income is recognized on the cost recovery method in connection with these loans.

The following table summarizes acquired impaired loans at December 31, 2005.

7.	Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level determined to be adequate by management and approved by the Board Risk Committee to absorb future charge-offs of loans and leases deemed uncollectable. This allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense, recoveries on loans previously charged off and allowances acquired in acquisitions, and is reduced by charge-offs on loans and leases.

Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for loan and lease losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. The ongoing evaluation process includes a formal analysis of the allowance each quarter, which considers, among other factors, the character and size of the loan portfolio, business and economic conditions, loan growth, charge-off experience, delinquency trends, nonperforming loan trends, portfolio migration data and other asset quality factors.

For the commercial business loan and lease and the commercial real estate loan portfolios, we formally evaluate specific commercial and commercial real estate loans rated “substandard” or worse in excess of $300 thousand. Estimated reserves for each of these credits is determined by reviewing current collateral value, financial information, cash flow, payment history and trends and other relevant facts surrounding the particular credit. Provisions for losses on the remaining commercial and commercial real estate loans are based on pools of similar loans using a combination of historical loss experience and migration analysis (which considers the probability of a loan moving from one risk rating category to another over time), transition matrix and qualitative adjustments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

7. Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses — (Continued)

Using the determined mid-point of the range, we use various quantitative and qualitative factors to determine the appropriate point above or below the range mid-point. This process is supported by objective factors, including:


	•	Historical loss experience;

	•	Trends in delinquency and nonperforming loans;

	•	Changes in product offerings or loan terms;

	•	Changes in underwriting and /or collections policies;

	•	Changes in management of underwriting and collection departments;

	•	Regional and national economic conditions and trends.

Although we use available information to establish the appropriate level of the allowance for loan and lease losses, future additions to the allowance may be necessary because estimates are susceptible to change as a result of changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan and lease losses. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

(2)		In connection with the TD transaction, $20.4 million of the allowance for loan and lease losses related to impaired commercial loans was transferred in accordance with the implementation of American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer” to reduce the carrying value of impaired commercial loans.


8.	Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of related assets; generally 25 to 40 years for premises and 3 to 7 years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized over the lesser of the estimated life or the remaining term of the lease including the first renewal option. Amortization of the assets held under capital leases is included with depreciation expense.

Costs of software developed for internal use, such as those related to software licenses, programming, testing, configuration, direct materials and integration, are capitalized and included in premises and equipment. Included in the capitalized costs are those costs related to both our personnel and third party consultants involved in the software development and installation. Once placed in service, the capitalized asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three to five years. Capitalized costs of software developed for internal use are reviewed periodically for impairment. Significant judgment is exercised by us in these impairment reviews, including the periodic evaluation of the cost/benefit analyses of software projects under development and the determination of the remaining useful life of completed software projects.

9.	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill which represents the price paid over the net fair value of the acquired businesses (“goodwill”) is not amortized. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at least quarterly using several fair value techniques, including market capitalization, discounted future cash flows and multiples of revenues/earnings. The valuation techniques contain estimates such as discount rate, projected future cash flows and time period in their calculations. Furthermore, the determination of which intangible assets have finite lives is subjective, as is the determination of the amortization period for such intangible assets. Goodwill is recorded and evaluated for impairment in the following reporting units: Community Banking, Insurance Agency, Investment Planning and Wealth Management. There was no impairment recorded by us in 2004 based on the valuations at December 31, 2004. As a result of The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction on March 1, 2005, assets and liabilities were adjusted to fair value and goodwill was recorded. Goodwill will be evaluated for impairment as of February 28 measurement date.

9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — (Continued)

Identifiable intangible assets consists of core deposit intangibles, noncompete agreements and customer lists and are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a method that approximates the amount of economic benefits to us. They are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The ranges of useful life are shown below:


Core deposit intangibles		14 years
Noncompete agreements		1 — 4 years
Customer lists		estimated life of the list

10.	Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. If current available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Income taxes are allocated to each entity in the consolidated group based on its share of taxable income. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets, including projections of future taxable income. We assess the relative merits and risks of the appropriate tax treatment of transactions taking into account statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance in the context of our tax position. We also rely on tax opinions, recent state audits and historical experience. These judgments and estimates are reviewed on a regular basis as regulatory and business factors change.

Tax credits generated from limited partnerships are reflected in earnings when realized for federal income tax purposes.

The following table sets forth the current and deferred components of income tax expense during the periods indicated.

10. Income Taxes — (Continued)

We have determined that a valuation allowance is not required for any of its deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized principally through carryback to taxable income in prior years and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and by offsetting other future taxable income.

State Tax Assessment.

We are subject to examinations by various federal and state governmental tax authorities from time to time regarding tax returns we have filed. Certain state income tax returns filed by us in recent years have recently been examined and assessments have been made by state tax authorities with respect to certain of these returns. We believe that we have substantial defenses to these assessments and have appealed them in accordance with administrative procedures. Although we believe that our reserves for existing and potential state tax assessments are appropriate, we estimate that the range of reasonably possible exposure over established reserves for existing and potential state tax assessments is from $0 to $11 million, after federal tax benefits. To the extent we settle these assessments for an amount greater than or less than the related reserves, the excess or deficiency will be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.

11. Merger and Consolidation Costs — (Continued)

Merger-related personnel costs on business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting includes the costs of maintaining duplicate employees at the acquired bank during the systems integration period and related employee benefits and outplacement services. For business combinations accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, severance costs are accrued at merger date (and are included in the determination of goodwill) for those employees identified to be released at the time of closing.

The following table presents the approximate number of employees that were released at each of the banking acquisitions in 2005, 2004 and 2003.

Systems conversions and integration costs and customer communications costs are recorded as incurred and are associated with the costs of converting the accounts, records and data processing equipment of the acquired companies to the systems maintained by us, as well as the costs of required notices to customers of the acquired bank concerning the acquisition and conversion of their accounts to our systems.

Other costs include asset write-downs/facility costs relating primarily to facility closings. These costs represent lease termination costs and impairment of assets for redundant office space, closed branches and equipment to be disposed of or abandoned.

Retail securities sold under repurchase agreements generally have maturities of 365 days or less and are collateralized by mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government obligations.

At December 31, 2005, we also had a $110 million unsecured line of credit with The Toronto-Dominion Bank. The line is renewable every 364 days and, if used, carries interest at LIBOR plus 0.60%. TD Banknorth did not utilize the line of credit in 2005.

Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, which consist of both fixed and adjustable rate borrowings ranging from 3.23% to 8.14% at December 31, 2005, are secured by a blanket lien on qualified collateral, consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one to four family properties, certain unencumbered investment securities and other qualified assets.

Long-term wholesale securities sold under repurchase agreements were collateralized by mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government obligations. Wholesale securities sold under repurchase agreements were repaid as part of the deleveraging program in 2005.

(1)		Amounts include junior subordinated debentures acquired by affiliated trusts from us with the capital contributed by us in exchange for the common securities of such trusts. Junior subordinated debentures are equal to capital securities plus common securities.

There were issuance costs associated with the issuance of the capital trust securities. The average cost of the securities, including the amortization of the issuance costs, was 5.86%, 8.53% and 8.61% for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

At December 31, 2005, trust preferred securities amounted to 17.3% of TD Banknorth Inc.’s Tier 1 capital. Effective April 11, 2005, the Federal Reserve Board adopted a final regulation which permits bank holding companies to continue to include trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital, subject to stricter quantitative and qualitative standards. Although this final regulation becomes effective on March 31, 2007, we currently are in compliance with the stricter quantitative and qualitative standards.

Other long-term debt includes the net obligation under a capital lease of $5.8 million at December 31, 2005. Although the gross obligations under our capital lease obligation is $21.1 million, we provided funding for the construction of the leased asset. Accordingly, the loan balance of $15.3 million has been netted against the capital lease obligation.


15.	Regulatory Matters

TD Banknorth, NA must maintain noninterest-bearing cash balances on reserve with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”). During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the average required reserve balances were $112.8 million and $99.4 million, respectively.

Banking regulators adopted quantitative measures which assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items and also define and set minimum regulatory capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios.) Banks are required to have core capital (Tier 1) of at least 4% of risk-weighted assets, total capital of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% of adjusted quarterly average assets. Tier 1 capital consists principally of shareholders’ equity, including qualified perpetual preferred stock but excluding

15. Regulatory Matters — (Continued)

unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, less goodwill and certain other intangibles. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus certain debt instruments and the reserve for credit losses, subject to limitations. Failure to meet certain capital requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The regulations also define well-capitalized levels of Tier 1, total capital and Tier 1 leverage as 6%, 10% and 5%, respectively. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, each of TD Banknorth and TD Banknorth, NA was “well-capitalized,” as defined, and in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements. There are no conditions or events since December 31, 2005 that management believes would cause a change in our well-capitalized status.

18.	Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share have been computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings per share have been calculated by dividing net income by weighted average shares outstanding before any dilution and adjusted to exclude the weighted average number of unallocated shares held by the ESOP. Diluted earnings per share have been calculated by dividing net income by weighted average shares outstanding after giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if the potential common shares were converted into common stock using the treasury stock method.

19.	Balance Sheet Deleveraging

In January 2006, we announced a balance sheet restructuring program to be implemented in connection with the pending acquisition of Hudson United Bancorp. The program consisted of the sale of $2.6 billion of mortgage-backed securities with the proceeds reinvested in shorter duration assets. The asset sales will reduce the interest rate risk inherent in these fixed-rate assets related to extension/prepayment risk. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we recorded an impairment loss of $45 million ($29.3 million after-tax) on the $2.6 billion of mortgage-backed securities to be sold in the first quarter of 2006.

Coincident with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction, we implemented a balance sheet deleveraging program under which $2.9 billion of investment securities were sold and the proceeds from these sales were used to prepay borrowings. In addition, single-family residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of $519 million were reclassified to Loans Held for Sale in February 2005 and were sold in May 2005, with the servicing being retained by TD Banknorth. These deleveraging transactions resulted in a $50.2 million pre-tax loss on sale of securities, a $7.1 million pre-tax loss to record the single-family residential mortgage loans at the lower of cost or market value and a $6.3 million pre-tax charge for prepayment penalties on borrowings.

In connection with the deleveraging program, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $2.2 billion. These agreements were designed to synthetically convert variable rate loans to fixed-rate assets. The $2.2 billion swap agreements were terminated on December 21, 2005. The $21 million of unrealized loss, net of tax, at the time of termination recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income will be amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the original hedges of 8 years as a yield adjustment along with $11 million of related deferred taxes which will also be amortized into earnings based on the schedule of the hedged items.

In 2004, we implemented a balance sheet deleveraging program whereby $1.2 billion of securities were sold at a loss of $17.8 million. Proceeds from the sale of these securities were used to prepay $1.2 billion of borrowings which resulted in $61.5 million of prepayment penalties.

In 2003, we implemented a balance sheet deleveraging program whereby $901 million of securities were sold at a gain of $29.2 million. The proceeds from the sale of these securities were used to prepay $853 million of borrowings which resulted in $28.5 million of prepayment penalties.


20.	Derivative Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into derivative transactions to manage our interest rate and prepayment risk and to accommodate the business of our customers. We use various types of interest rate derivative contracts to protect against changes in the fair value of our fixed-rate assets and liabilities due to fluctuations in interest rates. We also use these contracts to protect against changes in the cash flows of our variable-rate assets and liabilities and anticipated transactions. In 2005 and 2004 gains (losses) of $110 and

102

TD BANKNORTH INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

20. Derivative Instruments — (Continued)

$0, respectively, was excluded from the assessment of fair value and cash flow hedge effectiveness. We recognized net ineffective cash flow hedge gains (losses) of $(33) and $0 in 2005 and 2004, respectively, in the consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were no hedging positions where it was probable that forecasted transactions would not occur within the originally designated time period.

We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the derivative is entered into, we designate whether the derivative is part of a hedging relationship (cash flow or fair value hedge). We formally document relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management objective and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. We also assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items.

The primary objective of our hedging strategies is to reduce net interest rate exposure arising from our asset and liability structure and mortgage banking activities. We use forward delivery contracts to reduce interest rate risk on residential mortgage loans held for sale (which are included in loans held for sale on our balance sheet) and rate-locked loans expected to be closed and held for sale (which are included in other assets on our balance sheet). Changes in fair value of the options are included in other noninterest income.

Changes in fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that qualifies as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income and are reclassified into earnings when the related forecasted transaction affects earnings, generally within 60 to 90 days. For fair value hedges that are fully effective, the gain or loss on the hedge would exactly offset the loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Any difference that does arise would be the result of hedge ineffectiveness, which is recognized in earnings. We discontinue hedge accounting when we determine that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the hedged risk of the hedge item, because it is unlikely that the forecasted

transaction will occur, or we determine that the designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

For cash flow hedges, gains and losses on derivative contracts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to current period earnings are included consistently in the consolidated statements of income with the respective hedged item and in the same period the hedge item affects earnings. During the next 12 months, net after-tax gains of $4.1 million and net after-tax losses of $5.4 million on derivative instruments included in accumulated other comprehensive income are expected to be reclassified into other noninterest income and interest income, respectively.

We offer commercial customers interest rate swap and cap products to enable these customers to synthetically fix the interest rate on variable interest rate loans. These pay variable, receive fixed interest rate swaps are offset by entering into simultaneous pay fixed, receive variable rate swaps with a third party broker/dealer. Both of these swap products are marked to market and are included with other assets and other liabilities on our balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the commercial interest rate swaps are included in net interest income.

We also have entered into interest rate swap agreements in order to synthetically convert certain fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt tied to 1-month or 3-month LIBOR. These swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges and included with long-term debt on our balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the swap agreements are included in net interest income.

Foreign exchange rate contracts are contracts and options that we enter into as an accommodation for customers involved in international trade for the future delivery or purchase of foreign currency at a specified price. For these customers, we generally set aside a percentage of their available line of credit until the foreign

103

currency contract is settled. Generally, we enter into foreign exchange rate contracts with approved reputable dealers. Risks arise from the possible inability of the seller and/or our customer to perform and from any resultant exposure to movement in foreign currency exchange rates, limiting our exposure to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional principal or contract amounts. All foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2005 mature within two years. The foreign exchange rate contracts with customers and dealers are carried at fair value in other assets and other liabilities. The changes in the fair value of the foreign exchange rate contracts and the associated fees are included in other noninterest income.


21.	Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Other Off-Balance Sheet Risks

We are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, commitments to invest in real estate limited partnerships, standby letters of credit, recourse arrangements on serviced loans, forward commitments to sell loans, foreign currency forward contracts and commercial loan interest rate swaps. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of our involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments, standby letters of credit and recourse arrangements is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. We control the credit risk of our forward commitments to sell loans through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.

Foreign exchange options to sell		20,823		35,713
Rate-locked loan commitments		33,168		35,961

Commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit and unadvanced portions of construction loans are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on a credit evaluation of the borrower. Loan origination and commitment fees are generally deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield in interest income.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Fees received for the standby letters of credit are included in other noninterest income.

At December 31, 2005, we had $48.2 million of investments in tax advantaged limited partnerships primarily involved in approved low-income housing investment tax credit projects in our market area and commitments to invest up to an additional $15.5 million in such partnerships. At December 31, 2005, we had $40.6 million invested in small business limited partnerships which primarily provide seed money to businesses in our market area and commitments to invest up to an additional $28.9 million in such partnerships. Investments in both of the foregoing categories of assets are included under other assets. Income or losses related to the limited partnerships are included in other noninterest income.

Loans serviced with recourse represent potential obligations under certain loan servicing agreements. In the event of foreclosure on a serviced loan, we are obligated to repay the investor to the extent of the investor’s remaining balance after application of proceeds from the sale of the underlying collateral. To date, losses related to these recourse arrangements have been insignificant and while we cannot project future losses, the fair value of this recourse obligation is deemed to be likewise insignificant.

Cross currency swap agreements represent an agreement with The Toronto-Dominion Bank to synthetically convert subordinated notes denominated in Canadian currency totaling $270 million, into $228.6 million U.S. dollars with a fixed rate of 5.05% for the initial 12-year period.

Commercial loan swaps enable customers to synthetically convert variable interest rate loans to fixed rate loans. These pay variable, receive fixed interest rate swaps on our books are offset by entering into simultaneous pay fixed, receive variable rate swaps with a third party broker/dealer. Both of these swap products are marked to market and carried on our balance sheet as assets and liabilities at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the commercial interest rate swaps (which largely offset) are included in net interest income.

Interest rate swap agreements on borrowings synthetically convert fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt tied to 1-month or 3-month LIBOR. These swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges. Changes in the fair value of these swap agreements are included in net interest income.

The total return swap agreement represents a hedge on the changes in cash flow resulting from the volatility in The Toronto-Dominion Bank share price to be paid to certain employees under the 2005 Performance Based Restricted Share Unit Plan of TD Banknorth Inc. Changes in the fair value of the swap agreement are included in noninterest expense.

Forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans are contracts which we enter into for the purpose of reducing the market risk associated with originating loans for sale. Risks may arise from the possible inability of us to originate loans to fulfill the contracts, in which case we would normally purchase loans from correspondent banks or in the open market to deliver against the contract. Gains and losses related to commitments to originate rate-locked loans are included in earnings with mortgage banking income.

Foreign currency forward contracts are contracts that we enter into as an accommodation for customers involved in international trade for the future delivery or purchase of foreign currency at a specified price. For these customers, we generally set aside a percentage of their available line of credit until the foreign currency contract is settled. Generally, we enter into forward foreign contracts with approved reputable dealers. Risks arise from the possible inability of the seller and/or our customer to perform and from any resultant exposure to movement in foreign currency exchange rates, limiting our exposure to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional principal or contract amounts. All foreign exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2005 mature within two years. The foreign currency forward contracts are carried on our balance sheet at fair value. The changes in the fair value of the foreign currency contracts and the associated fees are included in other noninterest income.

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to a number of pending and threatened legal actions, including actions brought on behalf of various putative classes of claimants. Certain of these actions assert claims for substantial monetary damages against us and our subsidiaries. Based on currently available information, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage and established reserves, we do not believe that the eventual outcome of pending litigation against TD Banknorth and its subsidiaries will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting such matters, however, there can be no assurance that the outcome of any such action will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations in any future reporting period.

Operating Lease Obligations

We lease certain properties and equipment used in operations under terms of operating leases which include renewal options. Rental expense under these leases approximated $22.8 million, $22.2 million and $20.3 million for the years ended 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

23.	Stock-Based Compensation and Incentive Plans

Stock Options

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” encourages all entities to adopt a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans, whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” whereby compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the underlying stock at the grant date (or other measurement date) over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock upon exercise of the stock option. We have elected to continue with the accounting methodology in APB Opinion No. 25 and, as a result, must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value based method of accounting had been applied. The proforma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures since the estimated fair value of stock options is amortized to expense over the vesting period, and additional options my be granted or options may be cancelled in future years. The pro forma disclosures include the effects of all awards granted and the effects of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Had we determined cost based on the fair value at the grant date for our stock options and expense related to the employee stock purchase plan under

As part of our employee and director compensation programs, we may grant certain stock awards under our equity compensation plans. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, we had stock options outstanding under various plans, including plans assumed in acquisitions. The plans provide for grants of options to purchase shares of common stock at the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant. In addition, the plans provide for grants of shares of common stock that are subject to forfeiture if certain vesting requirements are not met, among other stock-based awards.

We and our shareholders have adopted various stock option plans for key employees. These plans include a stock compensation plan adopted in 2003 and amended and restated in 2005 (the “2003 Equity Incentive Plan”) and a stock compensation plan adopted in 1996 and amended in 2001 (the “1996 Equity Incentive Plan”). The 2003 Equity Incentive Plan authorizes grants of options and other stock awards covering up to 12,000,000 shares of TD Banknorth common stock. The 1996 Equity Incentive Plan authorizes grants of options and other stock awards covering up to 13,000,000 shares of TD Banknorth common stock. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the stock’s fair market value on the date of the grant and expire 10 years from the date of grant. At December 31, 2005, there were 4,534,676 additional shares available for grant under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and 194,543 additional shares available for grant under the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan.

We and our shareholders also have adopted a stock option plan for non-employee directors. The maximum number of shares of TD Banknorth common stock which could have been issued under this plan, as amended, was 1,060,000 shares, of which 904,250 shares had been issued upon exercise of stock options granted pursuant to this plan through December 31, 2004. Options to purchase 109,500 shares were granted in 2004 at an exercise price of $31.57 per share and options to purchase 112,500 shares were granted in 2003 at an exercise price of $23.37 per share. The director plan was discontinued at the end of 2004 in connection with the adoption of the amended and restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. Options to purchase 28,000 shares at an exercise price of $30.60 were granted to non-employee directors in 2005 from the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock option awards granted after March 1, 2005 were valued using expected volatility while stock option awards granted in periods prior to 2005 were valued used historical volatility. The 14.11% volatility was determined based on actual stock price volatility since March 15, 2005, a date shortly after The Toronto-Dominion Bank’s acquisition of a majority interest in us, and represents our best estimate of expected volatility over the expected life of the options. The 7.5-year life was determined based on historical exercise patterns and current expectations on stock price volatility.

Award authority under stock incentive plans of acquired companies is generally terminated at the merger closing dates. In stock acquisitions, option holders under such plans generally receive options to buy TD Banknorth common stock based on the conversion terms of the applicable merger agreement. The terms of such options are governed by the stock incentive plan of the acquired company under which they were issued.

The following table sets forth the activity for all stock option plans during the periods indicated.

(1)		Represents targeted units granted. Actual units will be awarded based on actual performance.

(2)		Award is based on The Toronto-Dominion Bank shares of common stock.

Effective March 1, 2005, we adopted the 2005 Performance Based Restricted Share Unit Plan for certain executives (“RSU Plan”). The RSU Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock units in The Toronto-Dominion Bank common shares. The cash amount payable in respect of the restricted stock units will be adjusted up or down, but not by more than 20%, to reflect the performance of TD Banknorth against an annual operating earnings per share growth target.

Under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, we may grant restricted stock units to our employees. It is determined at the grant date whether the restricted stock units will be settled in cash or TD Banknorth common stock.

We granted an aggregate of 28,000 shares of restricted stock to our non-employee directors under the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan in connection with The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction. We recorded $857 thousand of merger related expense during the year ended December 31, 2005 due to this grant.

Pursuant to the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and a predecessor plan, $10,000 of the annual fee payable to each non-employee Director of TD Banknorth and participating subsidiaries has been payable solely in shares of our common stock. Shares issued to non-employee directors totaled 4,690, 3,991 and 8,869 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

We and our shareholders have adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan that is available to employees with one year of service. Under the plan, shares of TD Banknorth common stock may be purchased at a discount to fair market value, subject to limitations set forth in the plan. Employees have the right to authorize payroll deductions up to 10% of their salary, subject to limitations set forth in the plan.

The following table presents the shares purchased, shares available, average price the shares were purchased and the proforma expense for the employee stock purchase plan during the periods indicated.

(2)		Proforma expense included in the SFAS No. 123 calculation.

Incentive Plans

We and our shareholders have adopted an Executive Incentive Plan under which TD Banknorth may pay cash awards to officers and other employees. Incentive payments may be short-term or long-term in nature and based on corporate performance as measured against performance targets. In December 2004, we paid $33.2 million of incentive awards pursuant to the change-in-control provision of the Executive Incentive Plan in anticipation of completion of the pending transaction between us and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, which was a change-in-control as defined in this plan.

We have adopted an Incentive Plan covering all full and part-time employees, other than executive officers. Incentives are earned based on corporate, department or individual performance as measured against targets set in connection with the annual budget. Each employee’s incentive potential is a fixed percentage of their base pay and, for a significant number of employees, can be modified up or down based on actual performance versus target.


24.	Retirement and Other Benefit Plans

Plan Descriptions.

We have a qualified non-contributory defined benefit pension plan that covers most employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s career average earnings. We have historically made cash contributions to the defined benefit pension plan for the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future. We expect to contribute approximately $29 million to our pension plans in 2006, none of which is required to satisfy minimum funding requirements. Discretionary contribution amounts may change upon our review of the final 2006 pension obligation and, as in prior years, is expected to be paid entirely in cash.

24. Retirement and Other Benefit Plans — (Continued)

In connection with acquisitions, we acquired two plans which are part of a multi-employer defined benefit plan. Assets and liabilities by participating employers are not segregated and, accordingly, disclosure of accumulated vested and nonvested benefits and the net assets available for benefits required under SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 132 is not possible. Contributions are based on individual employer experience. We made no contributions pursuant to these plans in 2005 and estimate that the 2006 contribution will be approximately $1.5 million.

In addition to the qualified plan, we have adopted supplemental retirement plans for certain key officers. These plans, which are unfunded and nonqualified, were designed to offset the impact of changes in the Internal Revenue Code that limit the benefits for highly-paid employees under qualified pension plans.

We sponsor limited post-retirement benefit programs which provide medical coverage and life insurance benefits to a closed group of employees and directors who meet minimum age and service requirements. We recognize costs related to post-retirement benefits under the accrual method, which recognizes costs over the employee’s period of active employment. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 106 is being amortized over a twenty-year period beginning January 1, 1993.

In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drugs, Improvement and Modernization Act (“the Act”) was signed into law. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. In accordance with FASB Staff Position 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirement Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (“FSP 106-2”) we have determined that the benefits we provide are at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The effects of the federal subsidy resulted in an actuarial gain which was fully recognized in the purchase accounting for The Toronto-Dominion Bank transaction.

Accounting for Pension Plans

We used a December 31 measurement date to determine our pension expense and related financial disclosure information. In accordance with SFAS No. 87, the discount rate for our retirement plans was set by reference to investment grade bond yields. The discount rate selection for 2005 was modified to adopt a more detailed cash flow modeling approach consistent with the intent of SFAS 87. Previously, Moodys AA yield for long-term corporate bonds was used to select a discount rate. In 2005, the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve and Liability Index was used for guidance. In developing the discount rate or rates used for the plans, each plan’s expected cash flows was applied to the interest rates provided in the Discount Curve as of December 31 to develop a single equivalent discount rate. As a consequence of the most recent annual review, the discount rate was reduced for all of our employee benefit plans from 5.75% as of December 31, 2004 to 5.50% as of December 31, 2005. Pension expense is also sensitive to changes in the discount rate. For example, adjusting the discount rate by 25 basis points (while holding other assumptions constant) would increase or decrease the forecasted 2006 expense for our qualified defined benefit plan by approximately $1.5 million.

Assumptions for long-term expected return on pension plan assets in our qualified retirement plan are periodically reviewed by us. Each year as part of the assumptions review, our independent consulting actuaries determine a range of reasonable expected investment returns for the pension plan as a whole, based on their analysis of expected future returns for each asset class weighted by the allocation of the assets in the plan. This forecast reflects the actuarial firm’s expected long-term rates of return for each significant asset class or economic indicator, for example, 9.7% for US large cap stocks, 6.1% for US long-term corporate bonds, and 2.8% inflation as of January 1, 2005. The range of returns developed relies both on forecasts and on broad-market historical benchmarks for expected return, correlation, and volatility for each asset class. The expected rate of return on pension plan assets was 8.5% for 2005. Pension expense is sensitive to changes in the

expected return on assets. For example, adjusting the expected rate of return by 25 basis points (while holding other assumptions constant) would increase or decrease the forecasted 2006 expense for the qualified defined benefit plan by approximately $750 thousand.

The following tables set forth the funded status and amounts recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2005 and 2004 for our pension plans (defined benefit and supplemental executive retirement plans) and other post-retirement benefit plans.

Our key investment objectives in managing our defined benefit plan assets are to ensure that present and future benefit obligations to all participants and beneficiaries are met as they become due (a) to provide a total return that, over the long-term, maximizes the ratio of the plan assets to liabilities, while minimizing the

present value of required corporate contributions, at the appropriate levels of risk, (b) to meet statutory requirements and regulatory agencies’ requirements (c) and to satisfy applicable accounting standards. We periodically evaluate the asset allocations, funded status, investment manager structure, rate of return assumption and contribution strategy for satisfaction of our investment objectives. The Retirement Committee meets quarterly to review the performance management reports prepared by our investment managers.

401 (k) Plan

We have 401(k) plans covering substantially all permanent employees. We match employee contributions based on a predetermined formula and may make additional discretionary contributions.

The following table sets forth the total expense for these plans during the periods indicated.


	Employee 401(k) expense

March 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005 (Successor)	$	8,461
January 1, 2005 to February 28, 2005 (Predecessor)	$	1,873
Year ended December 31, 2004 (Predecessor)	$	9,600


25.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We disclose fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time based on the characteristics of the financial instruments and relevant market information. Where available, quoted market prices are used. In other cases, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. These techniques involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by the assumptions used and judgments made regarding risk characteristics of various financial instruments, discount rates, estimates of future cash flows, future expected loss experience and other factors. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. Derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in certain cases, could not be realized in an immediate sale of the instrument. Also, because of differences in methodologies and assumptions used to estimate fair values, our fair values should not be compared to those of other banks.

Fair value estimates are based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not purport to represent the underlying market value of TD Banknorth. For certain assets and liabilities, the information required under SFAS No. 107 is supplemented with additional information relevant to an understanding of the fair value.

The following describes the methods and assumptions used by us in estimating the fair values of financial instruments and certain non-financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents, including cash and due from banks, short-term investments and federal funds sold. For these cash and cash equivalents, which have maturities of 90 days or less, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair values.

Securities and loans held for sale. Fair values are based on quoted bid market prices, where available. Where quoted market prices for an instrument are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instrument being valued. Fair values are calculated based on the value of one unit without regard to premiums or discounts that might result from selling all of our holdings of a particular security in one transaction.

117

25. Fair Value of Financial Instruments — (Continued)

Loans and leases. The fair values of portfolio loans and leases are estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar quality.

For certain variable-rate consumer loans, including home equity lines of credit the carrying value approximates fair value.

For nonperforming loans and certain loans where the credit quality of the borrower has deteriorated significantly, fair values are estimated by discounting cash flows at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with those cash flows.

Commitments and letters of credit not included in the table have contractual values of $8.5 billion and $7.3 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These instruments generate ongoing fees at our current pricing levels. Of the commitments at December 31, 2005, 32% mature within one year. At December 31, 2005, the approximate fair value of standby letters of credit was $653 thousand, of which $554 thousand was unamortized and included in other liabilities on the balance sheet. At December 31, 2004, the approximate fair value of the standby letters of credit was $377 thousand.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. The fair value of our mortgage servicing rights was based on a third party valuation analysis (performed as of November 30, 2005) which considered the expected present value of future mortgage servicing income, net of estimated servicing costs, considering market consensus loan prepayment predictions at that date.

Deposits. The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity is equal to the carrying amount. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows, applying interest rates currently being offered on wholesale funding products of similar maturities.

The fair value estimates for deposits do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of alternative forms of funding (“deposit base intangibles”).

Borrowings, including federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings. The fair value of our long-term borrowings is estimated by discounting cash flows based on current rates available to us for similar types of borrowing arrangements taking into account any optionality. For short-term borrowings that mature or reprice in 90 days or less, carrying value approximates fair value.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments:

Forward commitments to sell loans held for sale. The fair value of our forward commitments to sell loans reflects the amount we would receive or pay to terminate the commitment at the reporting date. Of the $42.5 million of forward sales commitments at December 31, 2005, we had $31.4 million in loans available to sell at that date as well as sufficient loan originations subsequent to December 31, 2005 to fulfill the commitments. Consequently, we expect to meet all of our forward sales commitments.

Rate-lock commitments to originate loans held for sale. The fair values on commitment to originate residential loans at an agreed upon rate (rate-locked) are based on the estimated gain or loss that would be recognized had the underlying loans been funded and sold on the reporting date (i.e., mark-to-market value).

Commercial loan interest rate swaps. The estimated fair value of these derivative financial instruments is based on dealer quotes.

Loans sold or serviced with recourse. Under certain of our loan servicing or sales arrangements, we had $202.4 million of recourse obligations at December 31, 2005. In the event of foreclosure on a sold or serviced

118

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

25. Fair Value of Financial Instruments — (Continued)

loan, we are obligated to repay the buyer or investor to the extent of the remaining balance after application of proceeds from the sale of the underlying collateral. To date, losses related to these recourse arrangements have been insignificant and while we cannot project future losses, the fair value of this recourse obligation also is deemed to be insignificant.

The following table presents a summary of the carrying values and estimated fair values of our significant financial instruments at the dates indicated.

26. Related Party Transactions

TD Banknorth and its affiliates participate in various transactions with The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its affiliates. Transactions involving our banking subsidiary, TD Banknorth, NA and its nonbanking affiliates (including TD Banknorth and The Toronto-Dominion Bank) are subject to review by regulatory authorities and are required to be on terms at least as favorable to TD Banknorth, NA as those prevailing at the time for similar non-affiliate transactions. Transactions between The Toronto-Dominion Bank and TD Banknorth and their respective affiliates have included interest rate swap agreements, foreign exchange activities, international services, cost reimbursements, referral fees and intercompany deposits and borrowings.

The following table sets forth the amounts due to and from The Toronto-Dominion Bank and off-balance sheet transactions with The Toronto-Dominion Bank at December 31, 2005.


	December 31, 2005

Cash and due from banks	$	1,694
Other assets:
Positive fair value marks on derivatives		8,090
Accounts receivable		1,396
Deferred tax asset		2,868
Deferred debt issuance costs		1,110
Interest-bearing deposits from The Toronto-Dominion Bank		15,013
Other liabilities:
Negative fair value marks on derivatives		2,856
Accumulated other comprehensive income		(8,865	)
Off-balance sheet transactions (notional amounts):
Interest rate swaps		579,831
Total return swap		26,425
Foreign exchange forward contracts		39,557

The effect on pre-tax income of transactions with The Toronto-Dominion Bank was an increase of $21.9 million for the period March 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005. This increase was largely due to the income recorded on interest rate swap agreements which are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

TD Banknorth and The Toronto-Dominion Bank have entered into a Stewardship Agreement under which TD Banknorth is reimbursed for the cost of certain services provided for the benefit of The Toronto-Dominion Bank. Services covered by the Stewardship Agreement include participation in The Toronto-Dominion Bank senior management meetings, participation in The Toronto-Dominion Bank strategic planning sessions, monthly financial reporting in The Toronto-Dominion Bank formats, corporate rebranding, BASEL II planning, monitoring of compliance of intercompany activities and assistance in various corporate initiatives with The Toronto-Dominion Bank. We bill The Toronto-Dominion Bank monthly under the Stewardship Agreement. Monthly billings under this agreement averaged $0.9 million since March 2005.

In March 2005, we entered into an agreement for the exclusive naming rights to the Boston Garden, the home of the Boston Celtics and the Boston Bruins. Under the agreement, the official name of the arena became “TD Banknorth Garden” on July 1, 2005 for a 20-year term ending on June 30, 2025. In exchange for the naming, advertising and other benefits under the agreement, we agreed to pay an initial fee of $1.1 million and an annual fee of $5.9 million and committed to spend $1.5 million (each to be adjusted annually for inflation) each year in marketing and promoting the arena. The Toronto-Dominion Bank is a formal party to this agreement and has agreed to pay the owner 50% of each of the initial fee and annual fee. This future commitment has not been recorded on our balance sheet because it is being accounted for in a manner

consistent with the accounting for operating leases under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, “Accounting for Leases.”

In September 2005, TD Banknorth, NA issued subordinated notes denominated in Canadian currency totaling $270 million (or approximately $229 million in U.S. dollars). TD Securities, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, served as placement agent for the offering of the notes, receiving a fee of 0.45% of the aggregate principal amount. The notes were purchased by several unaffiliated institutional investors in Canada. The Canada Trust Company, another wholly-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, is the issuing and paying agent, note registrar and calculation agent for the notes.

28.	Subsequent Events (unaudited)

On January 31, 2006, we completed the acquisition of Hudson United Bancorp (“Hudson”). Hudson had $8.8 billion of assets and $518 million of shareholders’ equity at the acquisition date. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Hudson was converted into the right to receive cash or TD Banknorth common stock, in an amount equal to $42.42, based on the average closing price of the TD

28. Subsequent Events (unaudited) — (Continued)

Banknorth common stock during a ten-trading day period ending on the fifth trading day prior to the closing date for the merger subject to proration because the total amount of cash consideration payable in the merger is fixed at $941.8 million, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share interest. Operational integration is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2006.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for Hudson at the date of acquisition. We expect that some adjustments of the estimated fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded in the period after the date of acquisition, although such adjustments are not expected to be significant. It is estimated that none of the goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Net assets acquired	$	518,338	$	1,388,932		$	1,907,270

The cash portion of the transaction was financed through our sale of 29.6 million shares of TD Banknorth common stock to The Toronto-Dominion Bank at a price of $31.79 per share.

In January 2006, we announced a balance sheet restructuring program which is to be implemented in connection with the acquisition of Hudson. Under this restructuring $2.6 billion of mortgage-backed securities are to be sold and replaced with shorter duration investments with less extension/prepayment risk. Because of this decision, we recorded an impairment loss of $45 million ($29.3 million after-tax) on these securities in the fourth quarter of 2005. Also, an additional approximately $2.7 billion of securities acquired from Hudson were sold soon after the completion of the acquisition with the proceeds used to repay an equal amount of borrowings.

In December 2005 and January 2006, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate of 10.5 million shares of TD Banknorth common stock in the open market after completion of the acquisition of Hudson.

In January 2006 we recorded a restructuring charge of $9.8 million ($6.8 million after-tax) as a result of a management restructuring implemented in connection with our acquisition of Hudson. These costs relate primarily to severance benefits pursuant to retention agreements.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

TD Banknorth Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of TD Banknorth Inc. and subsidiaries (“TD Banknorth”) as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of TD Banknorth’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of TD Banknorth Inc. for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 25, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 2005 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TD Banknorth Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of TD Banknorth’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 28, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

TD Banknorth Inc.:

We have audited management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that TD Banknorth Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). TD Banknorth Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that TD Banknorth Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, TD Banknorth Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of TD Banknorth Inc. as of December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005 of TD Banknorth Inc. and our report dated February 28, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
