TORONTO, May 31 /CNW/ - Scotiabank today reported second quarter income of $1,543 million. Diluted earnings per share were $1.36. Return on equity remained strong at 22.9%. This quarter, the Bank benefitted from the recognition of gains of $286 million related to two recent acquisitions, pursuant to certain new Canadian accounting standards which require all acquisitions to be recorded at fair value. These gains amounted to 26 cents per share. Excluding these gains, diluted earnings per share were $1.10, compared to $1.02 in the same period a year ago and return on equity was 18.5%. A dividend of 52 cents per common share was announced.
"This was a solid quarter with good performance across our four business lines, with record revenues even without the one-time gains," said Rick Waugh, Scotiabank President and CEO. "Our proven, straightforward business model is well-diversified and, together with our strong risk management practices and culture of expense control, continues to deliver sustainable growth in Canada and internationally.
"With net income of $444 million, Canadian Banking had a good quarter. Strong competitive pricing pressures impacted margins but we were successful at offsetting these with volume and market share increases in our key products. Scotiabank experienced market share gains in residential mortgages, small business, personal deposits and sales of mutual funds through our delivery channels. The increase in mutual funds and creditor insurance sold through our branches demonstrates successful collaboration with the wealth management business line. Strong expense controls and a decrease in provisions for credit losses also contributed to these results.
"International Banking's business with net income of $402 million, has seen good growth over the last quarter, particularly in the commercial lending platform. It has also benefitted from widening margins in certain key markets. In addition, recent acquisitions continue to provide a meaningful contribution to overall results.
"Global Wealth Management completed the acquisition of DundeeWealth this quarter and with this strategic addition, achieved a significant milestone, surpassing $100 billion in assets under management. Our combined businesses in Canada were ranked second in mutual fund market share among banks and first in total net sales for the industry in the quarter. Global Wealth Management reported net income of $489 million this quarter including a gain of $260 million from the revaluation of the original 18% investment in DundeeWealth. The business reported strong performance across all its wealth management and insurance platforms.
"Scotia Capital reported net income of $357 million this quarter reflecting contributions from all businesses. We continue to see the positive result of broad diversification and sustainable growth in our capital markets platform with a higher return on equity.
"Our Tier 1 capital ratio remains strong at 12.0%, which enables us to invest in growth and ensures we are able to meet future regulatory changes, while providing our shareholders with a solid return on their investment.
"With the results we are reporting today, we remain on track to achieve our goals for 2011."

Forward-looking statements
Our public communications often include oral or written forward-looking statements. Statements of this type are included in this document, and maybe included in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or in other communications. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements may include comments with respect to the Bank's objectives, strategies to achieve those objectives, expected financial results (including those in the area of risk management), and the outlook for the Bank's businesses and for the Canadian, United States and global economies. Such statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intent", "estimate", "plan", "may increase", "may fluctuate", and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs, such as "will", "should", "would" and "could".
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and the risk that predictions and other forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements, as a number of important factors, many of which are beyond our control, could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: the economic and financial conditions in Canada and globally; fluctuations in interest rates and currency values; liquidity; significant market volatility and interruptions; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to us and our affiliates; the effect of changes in monetary policy: legislative and regulatory developments in Canada and elsewhere, including changes in tax laws; the effect of changes to our credit ratings: amendments to, and interpretations of, risk-based capital guidelines and reporting instructions and liquidity regulatory guidance; operational and reputational risks; the risk that the Bank's risk management models may not take into account all relevant factors; the accuracy and completeness of information the Bank receives on customers and counterparties; the timely development and introduction of new products and services in receptive markets; the Bank's ability to expand existing distribution channels and to develop and realize revenues from new distribution channels; the Bank's ability to complete and integrate acquisitions and its other growth strategies; changes in accounting policies and methods the Bank uses to report its financial condition and the results of its operations, including uncertainties associated with critical accounting assumptions and estimates; the effect of applying future accounting changes; global capital markets activity; the Bank's ability to attract and retain key executives; reliance on third parties to provide components of the Bank's business infrastructure: unexpected changes in consumer spending and saving habits; technological developments; fraud by internal or external parties, including the use of new technologies in unprecedented ways to defraud the Bank or its customers; consolidation in the Canadian financial services sector: competition, both from new entrants and established competitors; judicial and regulatory proceedings; acts of God, such as earthquakes and hurricanes; the possible impact of international conflicts and other developments, including terrorist acts and war on terrorism; the effects of disease or illness on local, national or international economies; disruptions to public infrastructure, including transportation, communication, power and water; and the Bank's anticipation of and success in managing the risks implied by the foregoing. A substantial amount of the Bank's business involves making loans or otherwise committing resources to specific companies, industries or countries. Unforeseen events affecting such borrowers, industries or countries could have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial results, businesses, financial condition or liquidity. These and other factors may cause the Bank's actual performance to differ materially from that contemplated by forward-looking statements. For more information, see the discussion starting on page 62 of the Bank's 2010 Annual Report.
The preceding list of important factors is not exhaustive. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Bank and its securities, investors and others should carefully consider the preceding factors, other uncertainties and potential events. The Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf.
The "Outlook" sections in this document are based on the Bank's views and the actual outcome is uncertain. Readers should consider the above-noted factors when reviewing these sections.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Non-GAAP Measures
The Bank uses a number of financial measures to assess its performance. Some of these measures are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), are not defined by GAAP and do not have standardized meanings that would ensure consistency and comparability between companies using these measures. These non-GAAP measures are used throughout this report and defined below.
Taxable equivalent basis
The Bank analyzes net interest income and total revenues on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB). This methodology grosses up tax-exempt income earned on certain securities reported in net interest income to an equivalent before tax basis. A corresponding increase is made to the provision for income taxes; hence, there is no impact on net income. Management believes that this basis for measurement provides a uniform comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and non-taxable sources and facilitates a consistent basis of measurement. While other banks also use TEB, their methodology may not be comparable to the Bank's. The TEB gross-up to net interest income and to the provision for income taxes in the current period is $69 million, compared to $71 million in the same quarter last year and $71 million in the prior quarter. For the six months, the TEB gross-up to net interest income and the provision for income taxes was $140 million compared to $146 million for the same period last year. For purposes of segmented reporting, a segment's net interest income and provision for income taxes are grossed up by the taxable equivalent amount. The elimination of the TEB gross up is recorded in the "Other" segment.
Diluted cash earnings per share
The diluted cash earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the diluted earnings per share to add back the non-cash after-tax amortization of intangible assets.
Productivity ratio (TEB)
Management uses the productivity ratio as a measure of the Bank's efficiency. This ratio represents non-interest expenses as a percentage of total revenue on a taxable equivalent basis.
Net interest margin on total average assets (TEB)
This ratio represents net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis as a percentage of total average assets.
Operating leverage
The Bank defines operating leverage as the rate of growth in total revenue, on a taxable equivalent basis, less the rate of growth in expenses.
Return on equity
Return on equity is a profitability measure that presents the net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of common shareholders' equity. The Bank calculates its return on equity using average common shareholders' equity.
Economic equity and return on economic equity
For internal reporting purposes, the Bank attributes capital to its business segments based on their risk profile and uses a methodology that considers credit, market, operational and other risks inherent in each business segment. The amount of risk capital attributed is commonly referred to as economic equity. Commencing this year, return on economic equity for the business segments is calculated as a ratio of Adjusted Net Income of the business segment and the economic equity attributed. Adjusted Net Income is net income available to common shareholders grossed up for the incremental cost of non-common equity capital instruments. Return on economic equity for the business segments for comparative periods has been restated.
Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets
Tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets is an important financial measure for rating agencies and the investing community. Tangible common equity is total common shareholders' equity plus non-controlling interest in subsidiaries, less goodwill and unamortized intangible assets (net of taxes). Tangible common equity is presented as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Regulatory capital ratios, such as Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios, have standardized meanings as defined by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI).
Assets under administration (AUA)
AUA are assets administered by the Bank which are beneficially owned by clients and therefore not reported on the Bank's balance sheet. Services provided for AUA are of an administrative nature, such as trusteeship, custodial, safekeeping, income collection and distribution; securities trade settlements, customer reporting, and other similar services.
Assets under management (AUM)
AUM are assets managed by the Bank on a discretionary basis and in respect of which the Bank earns investment management fees. AUM are beneficially owned by clients and are therefore not reported on the Bank's balance sheet. Some AUM are also administered assets and are therefore included in assets under administration, under these circumstances.
Group Financial Performance and Financial Condition
Financial results
Scotiabank's net income was $1,543 million in the second quarter. This compares to net income before non-controlling interests of $1,124 million in the same period last year, and $1,200 million last quarter. Diluted earnings per share were $1.36, compared to $1.02 in the same period a year ago and $1.07 last quarter. Return on equity remained strong at 22.9%, compared to 19.9% last year and 18.7% last quarter.
Change in accounting standards
During the quarter, the Bank elected to adopt the new Canadian accounting standards on Business Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-controlling Interests effective November 1, 2010. The adoption of these standards resulted in the recognition of gains of $286 million. The gains arose substantially from accounting for the Bank's acquisition of DundeeWealth Inc. (DundeeWealth). This additional investment was considered a step-acquisition and accounted for on a fair value basis. A gain of $260 million was recognized on the revaluation of the Bank's original 18% investment in DundeeWealth.
The remaining $26 million gain related to the accounting for another recent acquisition, which was purchased at a price lower than fair value. The new standards require negative goodwill to be recognized in income without first reducing non-monetary assets, resulting in a higher gain in income under the new standards.
Under prior Canadian GAAP, $26 million would have been recorded as negative goodwill. With the change, the total negative goodwill recognized for the acquisition was $52 million.
The adoption of new standards also resulted in a reclassification of non-controlling interests from liabilities to equity and, as a result, non-controlling interests' share of income is no longer deducted to arrive at net income for this year. Refer below for further information.

Q2 2011 vs Q2 2010
Net income
Scotiabank's net income was $1,543 million in the second quarter, which compares to net income before non-controlling interests of $1,124 million in the same period last year, an increase of $419 million, or 37%. The increase included the gains of $286 million on adoption of the new accounting standards. Excluding these gains, net income was up 12%. Contributing to these strong results were solid underlying net interest income, increased wealth management, investment banking and securitization revenues, lower provisions for credit losses and the impact of a lower effective income tax rate. These increases were partly offset by higher non-interest expenses and lower trading results.
Total revenue
This quarter, total revenue (on a taxable equivalent basis) was $4,586 million, up $642 million or 16% from the same quarter last year, including the negative impact of foreign currency translation of $60 million. The increase in total revenue was attributable to the gains from the adoption of the new accounting standards, solid underlying net interest income, contributions from recent acquisitions, and increased underwriting fees. These items were partly offset by lower trading revenues and decreases in net gains on securities.
Net interest income
This quarter's net interest income (on a taxable equivalent basis) was $2,283 million, up $154 million or 7% over the same quarter last year. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency translation of $30 million, net interest income grew by $184 million or 9%. The underlying increase was due mainly to asset growth as the net interest margin narrowed year over year. The asset growth was primarily in residential mortgages in Canada and commercial and retail lending in International Banking including the acquisition of R-G Premier Bank. There were also increases in securities purchased under resale agreements and trading securities in Scotia Capital, reflecting the expansion of the fixed income business, partly offset by lower corporate lending volumes in Scotia Capital.
The Bank's net interest margin was 1.68% in the second quarter compared to 1.73% in the same quarter last year. The lower net interest margin was a result of a higher level of low spread assets, such as securities purchased under resale agreements, trading securities, and non-earning assets. Canadian Banking's net interest margin was compressed due to consumer shift towards lower yielding variable rate mortgages. These items were partly offset by positive changes in the fair value of financial instruments used for asset/liability management purposes and the higher spread of the loan portfolio of R-G Premier Bank.
Other income
Other income was $2,303 million this quarter, up 27% or $488 million from $1,815 million in the same quarter last year, including the gains of $286 million from the adoption of the new accounting standards. The remaining increase of $202 million or 11% was due mainly to higher wealth management revenues from the combination of a recent acquisition and higher mutual fund fees from existing operations due to growth in assets under management. Underwriting fees and transaction-based revenues were higher. There was also a positive change in the fair value of non-trading financial instruments. These items were partly offset by a reduction in trading revenues, primarily from the institutional equity business and a decline in net gains on securities.
Provision for credit losses
The provision for credit losses was $262 million this quarter, down $76 million from $338 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year decline was due primarily to lower provisions in International Banking and Canadian Banking, somewhat offset by moderately higher provisions in Scotia Capital.
Further discussion on credit risk is provided below.
Non-interest expenses and productivity
Non-interest expenses were $2,378 million this quarter, $411 million or 21% higher than the same period last year. Acquisitions accounted for $226 million of the increase. The most notable increase was in compensation-related expenses that reflected increases in staffing levels and higher pension costs from changes in actuarial assumptions and plan asset values. The growth in performance-based compensation was in line with the higher revenues. Increases in other expense categories reflected the Bank's growth initiatives.
The productivity ratio was 51.8%, compared to 49.9% in the same quarter last year.
Taxes
The effective tax rate for this quarter was 17.8%, down from 28.3% in the same quarter last year. The decrease from a year ago was substantially due to the non-taxable gains of $286 million that arose from the adoption of the new accounting standards and a higher level of tax-exempt income. There was also a reduction in the statutory rates in Canada. These items were partially offset by lower income in low tax jurisdictions.
Q2 2011 vs Q1 2011
Net income
Net income increased by $343 million to $1,543 million from the previous quarter. This quarter-over-quarter growth was due mainly to the impact of the adoption of the new accounting standards, higher net gains on securities, increased mutual funds revenues, and the impact of a lower effective income tax rate. These items were partially offset by lower net interest income, partly from the impact of the shorter quarter and lower trading revenues.
Total revenue
Compared with last quarter, total revenue (on a taxable equivalent basis) was up $390 million or 9%, including gains from the adoption of the new accounting standards. Quarter-over-quarter business growth reflected contributions from recent acquisitions and higher net gains on securities from lower writedowns. These increases were partially offset by a decline in net interest income from three fewer days in the quarter and lower trading results.
Net interest income
Compared to the previous quarter, net interest income (on a taxable equivalent basis) declined $88 million or 4%. The decrease was attributable mainly to a decline in the net interest margin and the impact of three fewer days in the quarter, partly offset by asset growth.
The decline in the net interest margin from 1.75% in the previous quarter to 1.68% in the current quarter, was due mainly to higher volumes of lower-spread deposits with banks, margin compression in the Canadian floating rate portfolio and lower loan origination fees. These items were partly offset by positive changes in fair value of financial instruments for asset/liability management purposes.
Other income
Quarter over quarter, other income was up $478 million or 26%, including the gains of $286 million from the adoption of the new accounting standards. The remaining increase of $192 million or 10% was from higher net gains on securities as a result of lower writedowns and increased wealth management revenues. The latter arose from a combination of contributions from a recent acquisition and higher mutual fund fees from existing operations due to growth in assets under management. These items were offset partly by lower trading revenues across all Scotia Capital businesses.
Provision for credit losses
The provision for credit losses was $262 million this quarter down $7 million from the prior quarter. Specific provisions fell in Canadian Banking, but increased in Scotia Capital. Quarter over quarter, provisions in International Banking were flat.
Further discussion on credit risk is provided below.
Non-interest expenses and productivity
Non-interest expenses were $92 million higher than the first quarter. Excluding the impact of recent acquisitions, non-interest expenses declined by $105 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower stock-based compensation this quarter due mainly to the impact of new grants awarded in the first quarter and ongoing vesting of existing grants. The prior quarter included a gain of $35 million on the final wind-up and settlement of a subsidiary pension plan.
The productivity ratio was 51.8% compared to 54.5% in the previous quarter.
Taxes
The effective tax rate was 17.8%, down from 23.6% last quarter. The decrease was substantially due to the non-taxable accounting gains that arose from the adoption of the new accounting standards. There was also a higher level of tax-exempt income which was partially offset by higher taxes in foreign subsidiaries.
Year-to-date Q2 2011 vs Year-to-date Q2 2010
Net income
Net income for the six months was $2,743 million, which compares to net income before non-controlling interests of $2,138 million in the same period last year. This growth of $605 million or 28% was achieved despite the negative impact of foreign currency translation of $63 million. The year-over-year increase reflected the gains from the adoption of the new acquisition-related accounting standards, increased net interest income, higher securitization revenues, strong wealth management and investment banking revenues, lower provisions for credit losses and the impact of a lower effective tax rate. Offsetting these items were lower net gains on securities, reduced trading revenues and increased non-interest expenses.
Total revenue
For the six months, total revenue (on a taxable equivalent basis) of $8,782 million was $857 million or 11% higher than the same period last year, including the negative foreign currency translation impact of $118 million and the gains from the adoption of the new accounting standards of $286 million. The underlying year-over-year growth was due primarily to increased wealth management revenues with contributions from both recent acquisitions and existing mutual fund operations, growth in net interest income, and higher underwriting and other transaction-based fees. These items were partially offset by reduced net gains on securities, and lower trading results compared to the record levels last year.
Net interest income
For the six-month period, net interest income (on a taxable equivalent basis) rose to $4,654 million, up $303 million or 7% from the same period last year, notwithstanding the negative foreign currency translation impact of $59 million. This increase was driven by asset growth, mainly in residential mortgages in Canada, trading securities and securities purchased under resale agreements in Scotia Capital, partly offset by a lower net interest margin.
The year-to-date net interest margin was lower than the same period last year, due mainly to growth in low spread trading securities and securities purchased under resale agreements and lower loan origination fees. These items were partly offset by the positive fair value changes in financial instruments used for asset/liability management purposes and the higher spread on the loan portfolio of R-G Premier Bank.
Other income
For the six-month period, other income was $4,128 million, an increase of $554 million or 16% from the same period last year. The results reflected the gains of $286 million from the adoption of the new accounting standards and higher wealth management revenues as a result of the recent acquisition of DundeeWealth and growth in the existing mutual funds business. There were also higher investment banking and securitization revenues. In addition, last year's results included a loss on the Bank's investment in an affiliate in Venezuela. These increases were partly offset by lower net gains on securities and decline in trading revenues, from the record levels last year.
Provisions for credit losses
For the six-month period, total provisions for credit losses were $531 million, down $178 million from $709 million during the same period last year. The majority of the decrease was attributable to lower provisions in International Banking and, to a lesser extent, in Canadian Banking, somewhat offset by moderately higher provisions in Scotia Capital.
Further discussion on credit risk is provided below.
Non-interest expenses and productivity
Year to date, non-interest expenses were $688 million or 17% above the same period last year. Recent acquisitions accounted for $261 million of the growth. The remaining increases of $427 million were due primarily to higher compensation-related expenses as a result of increased staffing levels and higher stock-based compensation from the cumulative impacts of new grants and ongoing vesting of existing grants. Pension and benefit expenses were also higher from changes in actuarial assumptions and plan asset values. The remaining growth across the expense categories was to support ongoing business initiatives.
The year-to-date productivity ratio was 53.1%, compared to 50.2% for the same period last year.
Taxes
The year-to-date effective tax rate was 20.4%, compared to 30.9% for the same period last year. The decrease was due primarily to the non-taxable gains relating to the adoption of the new accounting standards, higher tax-exempt income and a reduction in the statutory tax rate in Canada.
Risk management
The Bank's risk management policies and practices are unchanged from those outlined in pages 62 to 77 of the 2010 Annual Report.
Credit risk
Provision for credit losses
The provision for credit losses was $262 million this quarter, compared to $338 million in the same period last year and $269 million in the previous quarter.
The provision for credit losses was $145 million in Canadian Banking, down from $189 million in the same quarter last year and $165 million in the previous quarter, as a result of lower provisions in both the retail and commercial portfolios.
International Banking's provision for credit losses was $106 million this quarter, compared to $173 million in the same period last year, and $107 million last quarter. The lower provisions compared to the same quarter last year were primarily attributable to the commercial portfolios in the Caribbean and Chile, and, to a lesser extent, lower retail provisions in Chile and Peru. Compared to last quarter, retail provisions in Mexico were higher given that last quarter included the benefit of a one-time recovery under the Mexican government's mortgage support program. More than offsetting this increase were net reversals and recoveries of commercial provisions in Chile, and moderately lower retail provisions in the Caribbean.
Scotia Capital's provision for credit losses was $10 million this quarter, compared to net reversals and recoveries of $24 million in the same period last year and $3 million in the previous quarter. New provisions in Canada and Europe were somewhat offset by reversals and recoveries in the United States. Last year's recoveries included a $19 million reversal of the sectoral allowance specific to the automotive industry.
Impaired loans
Total gross impaired loans at April 30, 2011 were $4,255 million, down $166 million from October 31, 2010, attributable to declines in most business lines.
Total net impaired loans in Canadian Banking were $586 million, down from $608 million at October 31, 2010, due to declines in retail loans partially offset by increases in commercial net impaired loans.
International Banking's total net impaired loans decreased to $2,120 million from $2,209 million as at October 31, 2010 due to declines in both retail and commercial portfolios.
In Scotia Capital, total net impaired loans were $163 million at the end of this quarter, compared to $227 million at the end of last year, due to reductions in the U.S., Canadian and European portfolios.
Allowance for credit losses
The total allowance for credit losses decreased to $2,794 million as at April 30, 2011 from $2,796 million as at October 31, 2010.
Specific allowances in Canadian Banking increased to $638 million as at April 30, 2011 from $608 million as at October 31, 2010 due to increases in both the retail and commercial portfolios.
In International Banking, specific allowances declined to $676 million from $705 million last year end, primarily due to decreases in commercial portfolio partially offset by increases in the retail portfolio.
Scotia Capital's specific allowances declined to $57 million from $64 million as at October 31, 2010, primarily due to writeoffs and the impact of foreign currency translation.
The general allowance for credit losses was $1,412 million as at April 30, 2011, slightly above $1,410 million last year end, reflecting recent acquisitions.
Overview of loan portfolio
A large portion of the Bank's loan portfolio is comprised of residential mortgages and consumer loans, which are well diversified by borrower and geography. As at April 30, 2011, these loans amounted to $180 billion or 61% of the Bank's total loans outstanding, in line with last quarter (after specific allowances but before general allowances for credit losses). A very high percentage of these residential mortgages and consumer loans are secured, with Canadian Banking's portfolio 92% secured and International Banking's portfolio 78% secured, in line with amounts at year end.
Sovereign credit risk
There was no significant change since year end to the Bank's sovereign credit risk exposure for certain countries that have been an area of recent focus. In addition, the Bank has partially reduced its exposure to Irish banks since the year end. Refer to page 35 of the 2010 Annual Report.
Market risk
Value at Risk (VaR) is a key measure of market risk in the Bank's trading activities. In the second quarter, the average one-day VaR was $12.1 million compared to $13.4 million for the same quarter last year. The change was primarily the result of higher diversification between risk factors partially offset by increased equity risk. Compared to the previous quarter, the average one-day VaR increased from $11.7 million to $12.1 million due primarily to increased equity risk.
Average for the three months ended
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Risk factor April 30 January 31 April 30
($ millions) 2011 2011 2010
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest rate $ 11.9 $ 11.2 $ 12.2
Equities 7.3 4.1 6.5
Foreign exchange 1.4 1.2 1.5
Commodities 2.0 2.0 1.9
Diversification effect (10.5) (6.8) (8.7)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
All-Bank VaR $ 12.1 $ 11.7 $ 13.4
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
There were two trading loss days in the second quarter, compared to six days in the previous quarter. The losses were well within the range predicted by VaR.
Liquidity risk
The Bank maintains large holdings of liquid assets to support its operations. These assets generally can be sold or pledged to meet the Bank's obligations. As at April 30, 2011 liquid assets were $187 billion or 33% of total assets, compared to $161 billion or 30% of total assets as at January 31, 2011. The mix of these assets between securities and other liquid assets, including cash and deposits with banks, was 61% and 39%, respectively (January 31, 2011 - 67% and 33%, respectively). In the course of the Bank's day-to-day activities, securities and other assets are pledged to secure an obligation, participate in clearing or settlement systems, or operate in a foreign jurisdiction. Securities may also be pledged under repurchase agreements. As at April 30, 2011, total assets pledged were $105 billion, compared to $99 billion as at January 31, 2011. The quarter-over-quarter change was due largely to an increase in assets pledged under security borrowing and lending transactions. In some over-the-counter derivative contracts, the Bank would be required to post additional collateral in the event its credit rating was downgraded. The Bank maintains access to sufficient collateral to meet its obligations in the event of a downgrade of its ratings by one or more of the rating agencies.
Balance sheet
The Bank's total assets at April 30, 2011 were $572 billion, up $45 billion from October 31, 2010. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency translation, total assets rose $59 billion or 11%.
Cash resources grew by $25 billion, primarily from an increase in interest bearing deposits with banks. Securities purchased under resale agreements decreased $2 billion.
Total securities increased by $12 billion from October 31, 2010, mainly in trading securities from higher holdings of equities and U.S. and other highly-rated foreign government debt. Equity accounted investments decreased $353 million due primarily to the acquisition of the remaining shares of DundeeWealth.
As at April 30, 2011, the unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities, after the impact of qualifying hedges is taken into account, was $1,126 million, an increase of $63 million from last quarter. Increases in the values of corporate bonds and equity securities from improvements in capital markets were partially offset by decreases in unrealized gains on mortgage-backed securities created and retained by the Bank.
The Bank's loan portfolio increased $3 billion from October 31, 2010. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency translation, loans increased $8 billion or 3%. There was growth of $5 billion in business and government loans primarily in ScotiaMocatta. There were declines in the retail portfolio, primarily in personal loans, which decreased by $2 billion.
The increases of $1.2 billion in goodwill and $2.6 billion in other intangible assets were due primarily to the acquisition of DundeeWealth.
Total liabilities were $541 billion as at April 30, 2011, up $42 billion from October 31, 2010. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency translation, total liabilities rose $56 billion or 11%.
Total deposits increased by $34 billion, net of negative foreign currency translation of $11 billion. The growth was primarily in business and government deposits which were up $30 billion, mainly in the U.S.. Personal deposits increased by $2 billion, primarily from growth in high interest savings accounts in Canada. Deposits by banks also rose $2 billion.
Obligations related to securities sold short and obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements grew by $4 billion and $1 billion, respectively. Derivative instrument liabilities increased by $3 billion, which was similar to the increase in derivative instrument assets.
Total shareholders' equity rose $3,727 million from October 31, 2010 which included the reclassification of non-controlling interests of $576 million. This increase was driven by internal capital generation of $1,514 million, the issuance of common shares of $1.8 billion and preferred shares of $409 million for the purchase of DundeeWealth, as well as $399 million common shares issued under the Dividend Reinvestment Program and the exercise of options. Partially offsetting this growth was an increase of $1,016 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, which arose primarily from an increase in unrealized foreign exchange losses from the strengthening of the Canadian dollar.
Capital management
Scotiabank is committed to maintaining a solid capital base to support the risks associated with its diversified businesses. The Bank's capital management framework includes a comprehensive internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), aimed at ensuring that the Bank's capital is more than adequate to meet current and future risks and achieve its strategic objectives. Key components of the Bank's ICAAP include sound corporate governance; establishing risk-based capital targets; managing and monitoring capital, both currently and prospectively; and utilizing appropriate financial metrics which relate risk to capital, including regulatory capital measures. The Bank's capital management practices are unchanged from those outlined on pages 40 to 46 of the 2010 Annual Report.
Capital ratios
The Bank continues to maintain a strong capital position. The Tier 1 and Total capital ratios as at April 30, 2011, were higher at 12.0% and 13.9%, respectively, compared to 11.2% and 13.3% as at April 30, 2010 and 11.8% and 13.8% as at October 31, 2010.
The increase in the ratios was due to internally generated capital and the issuance of common and preferred shares for the acquisition of DundeeWealth. These capital increases more than offset the impact of increases in goodwill and intangibles from the acquisition, redemption of Tier 1 innovative capital instruments as well as growth in risk-weighted assets.
The tangible common equity ratio was higher at 9.3% as at April 30, 2011, compared to 8.9% as at April 30, 2010, but lower when compared to 9.7% as at October 31, 2010, due to the impact of the DundeeWealth acquisition.
Basel III
On December 16, 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) published the final revised capital adequacy rules, commonly referred to as Basel III, that increases capital requirements and introduces an internationally harmonized leverage ratio. The increased capital requirements are to be phased-in commencing January 1, 2013 through January 1, 2019. As of January 2019, the bank will be required to meet a new minimum Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 4.5% plus a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, collectively 7%, of risk-weighted assets.
The Bank has performed various analyses and projections and is satisfied that it will meet the 2019 Basel III capital requirements early in the transition period.
In addition, on January 13, 2011, additional guidance was issued by the BCBS, with respect to requirements for loss absorbency of capital at the point of non-viability. These rules affect the eligibility of instruments for inclusion in regulatory capital and provide for a transition and phase-out of these instruments.
All of the Bank's current non-equity capital instruments do not meet these additional criteria and will be subject to phase-out commencing January 2013. Certain innovative Tier 1 capital instruments issued by the Bank contain regulatory event redemption rights. The Bank has no present intention of invoking any regulatory event redemption features in these capital instruments. However, the Bank reserves the right to redeem, call or repurchase any capital instruments within the terms of each offering at any time in the future.
Common dividend
The Board of Directors, at its meeting on May 30, 2011, approved a quarterly dividend of 52 cents per common share. This quarterly dividend applies to shareholders of record as of July 5, 2011, and is payable July 27, 2011.
Financial instruments
Given the nature of the Bank's main business activities, financial instruments make up a substantial portion of the balance sheet and are integral to the Bank's business. There are various measures that reflect the level of risk associated with the Bank's portfolio of financial instruments. Further discussion of some of these risk measures is included in the Risk Management section above. The methods of determining the fair value of financial instruments are detailed on pages 79 to 80 of the 2010 Annual Report. Management's judgment on valuation inputs is necessary when observable market data is not available, and in the selection of valuation models. Uncertainty in these estimates and judgments can affect fair value and financial results recorded. During the quarter, changes in the fair value of financial instruments generally arose from normal economic, industry and market conditions.
Total derivative notional amounts were $2,596 billion as at April 30, 2011, compared to $2,236 billion as at January 31, 2011, due largely to an increase in the volume of interest rate contracts. The percentage of derivatives held-for-trading and those held for non-trading or asset liability management was generally unchanged. The credit equivalent amount, after taking master netting arrangements into account, was $21.5 billion, compared to $20.6 billion in the previous quarter.
Selected credit instruments
A complete discussion of selected credit instruments which markets regarded as higher risk during the financial crisis was provided on pages 50 to 51 of the Bank's 2010 Annual Report. This disclosure provided a detailed discussion on the nature and extent of the Bank's exposures. There have been no significant changes to the Bank's exposure to mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed commercial papers, structured investment vehicles, Alt-A loans and securities, highly leveraged loans awaiting syndication and auction-rate securities.
Collateralized debt obligations and collateralized loan obligations
Non-trading portfolio
As at April 30, 2011, the carrying value of cash-based CDOs and CLOs reported as loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was $866 million (January 31, 2011 - $923 million; October 31, 2010 - $943 million). The fair value was $636 million (January 31, 2011 - $657 million; October 31, 2010 - $623 million). None of these cash-based CDOs and CLOs are classified as impaired loans. The overall risk profile of cash-based CDOs and CLOs has not changed significantly since January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010.
The Bank's remaining exposure to synthetic CDOs and CLOs was $129 million as at April 30, 2011 (January 31, 2011 - $128 million; October 31, 2010 - $185 million). During the quarter, the Bank recorded a pre-tax gain of $8 million in net income for changes in fair value of synthetic CDOs and CLOs (first quarter of 2011 - pre-tax gain of $9 million; second quarter of 2010 - pre-tax gain of $30 million). The change in fair value of the synthetic CDOs and CLOs was mainly driven by the tightening of credit spreads. The overall risk profile of synthetic CDOs and CLOs has not changed significantly since January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010.
Trading portfolio
The Bank holds synthetic CDOs in its trading portfolio as a result of structuring and managing transactions with clients and other financial institutions. To hedge its trading exposure, the Bank purchases or sells CDOs to other financial institutions, along with purchasing and/or selling index tranches or single name credit default swaps.
The risk profile of the Bank's CDOs outstanding has not changed significantly from January 31, 2011.
Exposure to monoline insurers
There was no significant change to the Bank's direct or indirect exposure to monoline insurers since the year end.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into contractual arrangements that are not required to be consolidated in its financial statements, but could have a current or future impact on the Bank's results of operations or financial condition. These arrangements can be classified into the following categories: variable interest entities (VIEs), securitizations, and guarantees and other commitments. No material contractual obligations were entered into this quarter by the Bank that are not in the ordinary course of business. Processes for review and approval of these contractual arrangements are unchanged from last year.
For a complete discussion of these types of arrangements, please refer to pages 46 to 49 of the Bank's 2010 Annual Report.
Multi-seller conduits sponsored by the Bank
The Bank sponsors three multi-seller conduits, two of which are Canadian-based and one in the United States.
Canada
The Bank's primary exposure to the Canadian-based conduits is the liquidity support provided, with total liquidity facilities of $1.5 billion as at April 30, 2011 (January 31, 2011 -$1.3 billion; October 31, 2010 - $1.4 billion). As at April 30, 2011, total commercial paper outstanding for the Canadian-based conduits administered by the Bank was $0.8 billion (January 31, 2011 - $0.8 billion; October 31, 2010 - $0.9 billion). Funded assets purchased and held by the Bank's two Canadian multi-sellers as at April 30, 2011, as reflected at original cost, were $0.8 billion (January 31, 2011 - $0.8 billion; October 31, 2010 - $0.9 billion). The fair value of these assets approximates original cost. There has been no significant change in the composition or risk profile of these conduits since October 31, 2010.
United States
The Bank's primary exposure to the U.S.-based conduit is the liquidity support and program-wide credit enhancement provided, with total liquidity facilities of $6.4 billion as at April 30, 2011 (January 31, 2011 - $6.6 billion; October 31, 2010 - $6.5 billion).
As at April 30, 2011, total commercial paper outstanding for the U.S.-based conduit administered by the Bank was $3.4 billion (January 31, 2011 - $3.3 billion; October 31, 2010 - $3.1 billion).
Funded assets purchased and held by the Bank's U.S. multi-seller conduit as at April 30, 2011 were $3.4 billion (January 31, 2011 - $3.3 billion; October 31, 2010 - $3.1 billion). The fair value of these assets as at April 30, 2011 was $3.1 billion (January 31, 2011 - $3.0 billion; October 31, 2010 - $2.7 billion). There has been no significant change in the composition of this conduit since October 31, 2010.
Other off-balance sheet arrangements
The Bank provides liquidity facilities to non-Bank sponsored conduits, all of which are U.S. third party conduits. There has been no significant change in the Bank's exposures through these liquidity facilities since the year end. The Bank may securitize residential mortgages as a means to diversify its funding sources, as this represents a cost-effective means to fund the growth in this portfolio. A further $1.5 billion in residential mortgages was securitized this quarter, bringing the balance of outstanding mortgages securitized to $17.1 billion as at April 30, 2011, compared to $16.0 billion as at January 31, 2011.
Guarantees and other indirect commitments increased 5% from October 31, 2010. Fees from guarantees and loan commitment arrangements recorded in other income were $108 million in the three-month period ended April 30, 2011, compared to $111 million in the previous quarter.
Accounting Policies and Controls
Accounting policies and estimates
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). See Note 1 to the 2010 annual consolidated financial statements for more information about the significant accounting principles used to prepare the financial statements. The key assumptions and bases for estimates that management has made under GAAP, and their impact on the amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and notes, remain substantially unchanged from those described in the Bank's 2010 Annual Report.
Changes in accounting policies
Business combinations, consolidated financial statements and non-controlling interests
In January 2009, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) issued new accounting standards on Business Combinations, Consolidated Financial Statements and Non-controlling Interests. These standards are aligned with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with earlier adoption permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt, all three standards are required to be adopted concurrently.
The business combination standard addresses the valuation of the identified assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination and the date at which the valuations should be determined. The other two standards are revised to ensure that the requirements embedded in the business combination standards are applied appropriately to the preparation of consolidated financial statements and the accounting for non-controlling interest after the acquisition date.
The Bank has elected to early adopt all three standards retrospectively from November 1, 2010. As a result, all business acquisitions that occurred from November 1, 2010 have been accounted for under the revised standards.
The key principle underlying the business combinations standard is that all acquisitions be measured at fair value on the acquisition date. The key changes in the standards are:
- The acquisition accounting is at fair value (under prior GAAP only
the Bank's proportionate share of fair value adjustments were
accounted for);
- Non-controlling interest is measured at fair value (excluding the
proportionate share of goodwill) and treated as equity;
- Acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs are expensed as
incurred while prior GAAP permitted some costs to be set up at
acquisition date;
- Contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities, if any,
are recorded at fair value on acquisition and subsequent changes in
fair value are recorded in income;
- When the purchase consideration is in the form of equity shares of
the acquirer, they are measured at fair value at the acquisition
date, rather than the prior GAAP requirement which is the
announcement date; and
- Step-acquisitions are accounted for at fair value allowing for a
gain/loss to be recognized in income on the date of the transaction
due to the revaluation of the original investment.
The retrospective application of the revised accounting standards resulted in a restatement of the first quarter consolidated financial statements only with respect to non-controlling interest. Other than the reclassification of non-controlling interest, there was no material impact to the Bank's consolidated financial statements as at and for the quarter ended January 31, 2011. The reclassifications relating to non-controlling interests were as follows:
- Non-controlling interests have been reclassified from liabilities to
equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
- Non-controlling interests' portion of income is no longer a deduction
when calculating the net income in the Consolidated Statement of
Income. Instead, net income is apportioned between the Bank's equity
holders and the non-controlling interests.
With respect to the second quarter consolidated financial statements, the adoption of these new Canadian accounting standards resulted in a net gain of $286 million being recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The gain arose substantially from accounting for the Bank's investment in DundeeWealth. The additional investment was considered a step-acquisition and accounted for on a fair value basis resulting in a gain of $260 million from the revaluation of the Bank's existing 18% investment in DundeeWealth.
The remaining $26 million gain related to the acquisition accounting for a recent acquisition which was purchased at a price lower than fair value. The new standards require negative goodwill to be recognized in income without first reducing non-monetary assets, resulting in a higher gain in income under the new standards.
Under prior Canadian GAAP $26 million would have been recorded as negative goodwill. With the change, the total negative goodwill recognized for the acquisition was $52 million.
The adoption of these new accounting standards resulted in additional purchase consideration of approximately $350 million on the acquisition of DundeeWealth. The increase was due primarily to the following:
- The gain from the revaluation of the Bank's original investment is
considered part of the purchase consideration; and
- The common shares issued by the Bank as consideration for the
acquisition were valued at closing date price versus announcement
date price as per prior GAAP (incremental $110 million).
Future accounting changes
Transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
Canadian publicly accountable enterprises are required to adopt IFRS for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. For the Bank, IFRS will be effective for interim and annual periods commencing November 1, 2011 (adoption date), and will include the preparation and reporting of one year of comparative figures, including an opening balance sheet as at November 1, 2010 (transition date).
Pages 83 to 87 of the Bank's 2010 Annual Report contain a comprehensive discussion of the Bank's changeover plan, including key elements, milestones and status of the Bank's IFRS project. In addition, accounting policy differences and choices under IFRS that have the potential to be the most significant to the Bank are discussed in detail. Readers are encouraged to review this comprehensive discussion in conjunction with the following.
Key elements of the Bank's IFRS changeover plan
The following summarizes the Bank's progress since the year end towards completion of selected key activities and milestones contained in its conversion plan.

The recommended format of the IFRS consolidated balance sheet and statement of income was completed in the second quarter of this year. Preliminary shell IFRS note disclosures have been prepared. These statements and notes are expected to evolve over the year as the Bank continues to assess best practices and industry views.
The quantification and preparation of the IFRS opening balance sheet and comparative year results continue, and will likely be an ongoing and iterative process through to 2012.
Training and communication
Training programs to finance and other key stakeholders, including the Board of Directors and senior management, continue to be provided including specific training to credit/loan officers across the organization through various channels and are increasingly focused on specific subjects.
Information technology systems
A solution for the capture of comparative year financial information (including the IFRS opening balance sheet) has been implemented.
The Bank has not identified the need for any significant modifications to its systems as a result of IFRS changes.
Business and process activities
Process changes are being implemented to address the impact on financial reporting, and on other areas such as the Bank's performance measurement processes, including planning and budgeting and capital management.
Control environment
Changes in internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) and disclosure controls and procedures (DC&P), resulting from changes to policies, processes and systems, continue to be assessed and implemented as required.
Key financial impacts
Key differences between current accounting policies and IFRS requirements
The Bank has determined a number of key differences that have the potential to significantly affect the financial statements, operations or capital of the Bank. The key differences are discussed in more detail in the Bank's 2010 Annual Report. Net adjustments to the Bank's opening balance sheet resulting from differences between Canadian GAAP and IFRS will be recorded against retained earnings on transition, or other components of equity.
The full impact of IFRS on the Bank's consolidated financial results at the time of transition is dependent upon finalization and audit of the IFRS values, including finalization and approval of accounting policy choices and IFRS adoption decisions. As such, the Bank is still in the process of finalizing its IFRS adjustments. Estimates for certain significant opening balance sheet impacts, however, are discussed below. These estimates may change as the Bank refines its IFRS impacts and finalizes its IFRS accounting decisions. At this time, the total estimated negative impact on the Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio of all transition date adjustments is approximately 75 basis points.
Consolidation
Canadian GAAP determines consolidation of an entity using the frameworks of the variable interest entity (VIE) and voting control model. The consolidation of a VIE under Canadian GAAP is based on whether the Bank is exposed to the majority of the VIE's expected losses or residual returns, or both and considered to be the primary beneficiary.
Under IFRS, an entity (including a special purpose entity, SPE) is consolidated based solely on control, which is evidenced by the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity to obtain benefit. When assessing control under IFRS, all relevant factors are considered, including qualitative and quantitative aspects.
As a consequence of the differences in criteria, certain SPEs are required to be consolidated under IFRS that were not consolidated under Canadian GAAP including one Bank sponsored multi-seller conduit and the Bank's capital instrument trusts. The estimated overall impact is an increase in the Bank's assets of approximately $2.7 billion, an increase in liabilities of approximately $2.2 billion, an increase in capital instruments equity of approximately $0.8 billion, and a decrease in opening retained earnings of approximately $0.3 billion.
Business combinations
Under IFRS 1, First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS 1), an entity may elect to not retrospectively restate any business combinations that occurred prior to the transition date.
Although the Bank will likely elect to not restate any business combinations that occurred prior to November 1, 2010, certain adjustments are still required upon transition to IFRS for items such as fair valuing contingent consideration and the recognition of intangible assets previously written off under Canadian GAAP. The estimated impact from these adjustments is an increase in assets of $2 million, an increase in liabilities of $47 million and a decrease to opening retained earnings of approximately $45 million after-tax.
Share-based payments
IFRS requires cash-settled (i.e., liability-classified) awards to be remeasured at each reporting date based on changes in fair value of the liability. Under Canadian GAAP, liability-classified awards are remeasured at each reporting date based on changes in the intrinsic value of such awards.
IFRS 1 allows the choice of not having to remeasure liability-classified awards to their fair value for those awards that have already settled by the transition date. The estimated impact on transition for the awards that have not settled by the date of transition is a decrease to opening retained earnings of approximately $21 million offset by an increase in other liabilities of $20 million and a decrease in deferred tax assets of $1 million.
Employee benefits
Under IFRS 1, an entity may elect to recognize all cumulative unamortized actuarial gains and losses for employee defined benefit plans at transition date instead of retrospective restatement, with an offsetting adjustment against opening retained earnings.
The Bank will likely elect to use the employee benefits exemption. The estimated impact of this election would be a reduction to opening retained earnings of approximately $1.5 billion after-tax. The impact under IFRS differs from Canadian GAAP amounts due to adjustments for items such as using an October 31 measurement date for the actuarial valuation, and using fair values for determining the expected return on plan assets.
Cumulative translation differences
IFRS 1 allows cumulative translation differences for all foreign operations to be deemed zero at the date of transition to IFRS, instead of recalculating from inception. This would result in the reclassification of amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to opening retained earnings on transition.
The Bank will likely elect to use this exemption. The reclassification of the cumulative translation loss from AOCI to opening retained earnings would be $4.5 billion, which was the Canadian GAAP amount as at October 31, 2010.
Certain adjustments to the cumulative translation differences under Canadian GAAP may be required as the Bank finalizes the impact of the changes to the functional currency of some of its reporting units under IFRS. Such adjustments will also impact opening retained earnings.
Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Canadian GAAP uses a control-based model to assess derecognition, while IFRS primarily focuses on whether risks and rewards have been substantively transferred. As a result of the differences in criteria, transfers of certain financial assets that previously qualified for derecognition under Canadian GAAP will no longer qualify under IFRS.
The Bank's insured residential mortgage securitizations through the Canadian Government's Canada Mortgage Bond (CMB) Programs receive off-balance sheet treatment under Canadian GAAP. These mortgage securitization transactions will not meet the derecognition criteria under IFRS. Additionally, mortgages securitized and retained as mortgage-backed securities (MBS), currently classified as available-for-sale on the Bank's balance sheet under Canadian GAAP, would be reclassified to residential mortgages under IFRS.
In December 2010, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 1 to allow first-time adopters the option of applying the IFRS derecognition requirements prospectively to transactions occurring on or after an entity's transition date; or retrospectively from a date of the entity's choosing. In February 2011, OSFI issued an advisory requiring all federally regulated entities to apply the derecognition requirements retrospectively from January 1, 2004.
Application of the derecognition criteria from January 1, 2004, is estimated to result in an increase in residential mortgages and other assets of approximately $31 billion, an increase in deposits and other liabilities of approximately $15 billion and a decrease in available-for-sale securities of approximately $16 billion. The net impact to opening retained earnings would be an increase of approximately $140 million after-tax. In addition, there would be a decrease in AOCI of approximately $340 million after-tax related to the available-for-sale securities.
Future changes in standards
The Bank actively monitors developments and changes in standards from the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Canadian AcSB, as well as regulatory requirements from the Canadian Securities Administrators and OSFI.
The IASB has issued revised standards on consolidation and fair value measurement in May 2011 with an effective date of January 1, 2013 (for the Bank's fiscal 2014). The IASB expects to issue revised standards on employee benefits in June 2011 and expects to finalize changes to standards on impairment of financial assets, hedge accounting (excluding portfolio hedging), and offsetting of financial assets in the second half of 2011. These changes are expected to impact the Bank post fiscal 2012, after the Bank has adopted IFRS.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in the Bank's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank's internal control over financial reporting.
Related party transactions
There were no changes to the Bank's procedures and policies for related party transactions from those outlined on pages 87 and 140 of the 2010 Annual Report. All transactions with related parties continued to be at market terms and conditions.
Outlook
In the opening months of 2011, relatively solid economic gains were recorded in Canada, Mexico, and the larger European countries. In addition, there were strong performances in Asia-Pacific and Latin America where the Bank has active operations. In contrast, U.S. growth slowed early in the year, though the economy's forward momentum is being supported by the improving trend in employment, car sales, and exports.
The global economy is now transitioning to a slower but sustainable growth path. Internationally, supply-chain disruptions caused by Japan's catastrophe will temporarily dampen manufacturing activity. The rising cost of energy and food is contributing to increased inflation and pressuring policymakers to tighten policy, especially in the faster-growing emerging economies. Recurring sovereign debt problems in Europe, the unwinding of excessive household leverage and the shift towards fiscal restraint, are adding to the slowdown in global activity.
Nevertheless the solid results achieved during the first half of the year, and the positive macroeconomic projections for the markets where we operate, the Bank is well-positioned to achieve its objectives for the full year.

Q2 2011 vs Q2 2010
Canadian Banking reported net income of $444 million this quarter, which compared to net income before non-controlling interests of $451 million in the same period last year, a decrease of $7 million or 2%. Return on economic equity declined to 37.4% from 40.5%.
Average assets before securitization grew $12 billion or 6% from the same quarter last year. The increase was due primarily to growth of $11 billion (8%) in residential mortgages, $1 billion (8%) in consumer automotive, and $1 billion (7%) in demand loans. Average deposits grew $6 billion, an increase of 4%, as strong growth was recorded in personal high interest savings accounts, personal chequing accounts, and third party channel deposits. The growth reflected a number of deposits and payment initiatives including "Let the Saving Begin", and resulted in market share gains.
Total revenues decreased $61 million or 4% from the same period last year with declines in both net interest income and other income.
Net interest income of $1,170 million was down $52 million or 4% from the second quarter of last year. Solid asset and deposit growth was offset by a decrease in the net interest margin reflecting higher wholesale funding costs. In addition, the net interest margin was negatively impacted by consumer preference for lower yielding variable rate mortgages and maturing of older higher yield fixed rate mortgages.
Other income decreased $9 million or 3% from the same quarter last year, entirely due to a gain on sale of securities in the same quarter last year. This quarter benefitted from higher transaction-based fees in both personal and non-personal banking, including increased Visa card usage as well as higher foreign exchange revenues.
The provision for credit losses was $145 million this quarter, down from $189 million in the same quarter last year as a result of lower provisions in both the retail and commercial portfolios.
Non-interest expenses rose 2% from the same quarter last year due to the impact of higher pension costs, the new harmonized sales tax and annual merit increases in salaries. Partially offsetting these were lower bank card fraud losses.
Q2 2011 vs Q1 2011
Quarter over quarter, net income declined by $53 million or 11%. Return on economic equity was 37.4% versus 40.4% last quarter.
Average assets before securitization rose $1 billion or 1%, led by continued growth in retail mortgages and indirect Scotia Plan Loans. Deposits increased $1 billion or 1%, primarily in registered term deposits following the RRSP season which resulted in increased market share.
Total revenue declined $94 million, down 6% from the record levels last quarter.
Net interest income decreased by 7%, primarily from three fewer days in the quarter, lower yielding variable rate mortgages and the maturity of older higher yielding fixed rate mortgages.
Other income was down $10 million or 3% quarter over quarter, due primarily to lower gains on securities.
The provision for credit losses was $145 million, down from $165 million in the previous quarter as a result of lower provisions in both the retail and commercial portfolios.
Quarter over quarter, non-interest expenses remained unchanged at $737 million. The first quarter included a gain on the wind up of a subsidiary pension plan. Excluding this item, expenses decreased due largely to the shorter quarter, and lower stock-based compensation.

Q2 2011 vs Q2 2010
International Banking had record net income in the second quarter of $402 million, which compared to net income before non-controlling interests of $257 million in the same period last year, an increase of $145 million or 56%. This includes $52 million negative goodwill on a recent acquisition. Acquisitions continue to provide strong growth in earnings and contributed approximately a third of the increase over last year. Return on economic equity was 15.9% versus 11.9% last year.
Average assets were $89 billion this quarter, an increase of $9 billion or 11% from the same period last year. Growth through acquisitions, mainly R-G Premier Bank of Puerto Rico, combined with strong organic growth in commercial lending (11%) particularly in Asia and Peru, and retail lending (7%) in Peru, Chile and the Caribbean, more than offset the negative impact of foreign currency translation. Underlying growth in low-cost deposits of 9% was widespread, led by the Caribbean region and Peru.
Total revenues increased a substantial $179 million or 16%, over the same period last year, with significant growth in net interest income despite the negative impact of foreign currency translation.
Net interest income was $963 million, up $174 million or 22% over last year mainly from the benefit of acquisitions, the positive impact of financial instruments used for asset/liability management purposes and broad based organic loan growth.
Other income was $353 million, up $5 million or 1% compared to last year. This included $52 million of negative goodwill, of which $26 million related to the adoption of the new accounting standards. Mostly offsetting were lower securities gains as last year's results included a gain on the sale of Siam City Bank shares.
The provision for credit losses was $106 million this quarter, compared to $173 million in the same period last year. The lower provisions were primarily attributable to the commercial portfolios in the Caribbean and Chile and to a lesser extent, lower retail provisions in Chile and Peru.
Non-interest expenses were $700 million, up $82 million or 13% year over year, primarily from the impact of new acquisitions and the investment in growth initiatives.
The effective tax rate decreased to 21.1% from 25.7% reflecting lower income in low tax rate jurisdictions in 2010, and non-taxable gain from negative goodwill.
Q2 2011 vs Q1 2011
Quarter over quarter, net income was up $42 million, or 12%. Return on economic equity was 15.9% compared to 13.8% last quarter.
At $89 billion, average assets were down 1% compared to last quarter, entirely due to the adverse impact of foreign currency translation. Underlying growth was 1% due primarily to growth in commercial loans across most regions, and retail loans in Peru. Low-cost deposits grew 2% with the Caribbean and Peru as the main contributors.
Total revenue increased $5 million over last quarter, as a $15 million increase in other income was partly offset by lower net interest income.
Net interest income decreased $10 million or 1% quarter over quarter, to $963 million. Excluding the adverse foreign currency translation, net interest income was up slightly from continued commercial loan growth across most regions, higher retail loan volumes in Peru and a widening of the margin.
Other income was $353 million, up $15 million from last quarter. The gain from negative goodwill was partly offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation and lower fee-based revenues in Chile and the Caribbean.
The provision for credit losses was $106 million this quarter, compared to $107 million last quarter. Retail provisions in Mexico were higher this quarter given that last quarter's provisions benefitted from a one-time recovery under the Mexican government's mortgage support program. More than offsetting this increase were net reversals and recoveries of commercial provisions in Chile, and moderately lower retail provisions in the Caribbean.
Non-interest expenses of $700 million decreased $61 million or 8% from last quarter, or 6% excluding foreign currency translation. The reduction was due primarily to lower stock-based compensation, business and capital taxes, technology costs, and professional expenses, as well as last quarter's wind-up of a loyalty program in Mexico.
The effective tax rate was 21.1%, up from last quarter's 18.8%, as last quarter benefitted from the positive impact of tax rate changes on future tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions. Partly offsetting the quarter-over-quarter increase was the impact of the non-taxable gain from negative goodwill.

Q2 2011 vs Q2 2010
Global Wealth Management reported net income of $489 million this quarter, which compared to net income before non-controlling interests of $208 million in the same period last year. The increase of $290 million includes a gain of $260 million from the revaluation of the original 18% investment in DundeeWealth. These results reflected a very strong performance from the existing wealth management business, which was up 25%, excluding our investments in DundeeWealth and CI Financial. DundeeWealth contributed modestly to net income this quarter due to the $27 million impact (after-tax) of one-time transaction and integration costs relating to the acquisition.
Assets under management (AUM) of $107 billion increased $56 billion or 109% from the same quarter last year, mainly due to the acquisition of DundeeWealth. AUM was up 13% for the other Canadian and international wealth management businesses from strong sales and improved markets. Assets under administration (AUA) increased $94 billion or 51% to $280 billion, due largely to DundeeWealth. AUA for the other wealth management businesses grew by 11% due to new client assets and improved market conditions. AUM and AUA relating to the Bank's investment in CI Financial are not included in these results.
Total revenues increased $548 million or 100% from the same quarter last year, primarily from the revaluation gain on the original investment in DundeeWealth, strong contributions from DundeeWealth, growth in fees and insurance revenues. The growth in fee revenue was from higher levels of AUM and AUA and higher retail brokerage fees from increased trading volumes. Total revenue for the quarter was $1,096 million, of which approximately 89% was attributable to wealth management and 11% to the insurance businesses. Excluding the gain, the ratio was 86% and 14% respectively.
Net interest income was $88 million, an increase of $5 million or 6% from the same quarter of last year, was driven by higher average deposits partly offset by margin compression on longer term deposits.
Other income of $1,008 million includes the revaluation gain on the original investment in DundeeWealth. Excluding the accounting gain, other income grew by $282 million or 61% due to the increased ownership interest in DundeeWealth, new mutual fund sales and higher AUM in mutual funds due in part to strong growth in average assets. In addition, there were increases in full service brokerage and online brokerage fees from higher trading volumes and improved market conditions. Growth in insurance income was due mainly to stronger international sales. Other income also included a proportionate share of the net income earned from our investment in CI Financial.
Non-interest expenses rose 84% from the same quarter last year with the consolidation of DundeeWealth's operations, transaction and integration costs from the acquisition, higher volume related expenses and increases in expenses to support business growth.
Q2 2011 vs Q1 2011
Quarter over quarter, net income grew by $266 million or 119% including the revaluation gain on the original investment in DundeeWealth. Underlying growth reflected solid results from wealth management businesses and slightly lower earnings from Global Insurance given fewer days in the quarter. The contribution from DundeeWealth to net income was relatively modest this quarter due to one-time transaction and integration costs from the acquisition.
Total revenue rose $493 million or 82% quarter over quarter, due mainly to the revaluation gain noted above and higher fee income. Quarter-over-quarter growth in AUM and AUA was 90% and 38% respectively. Excluding Dundee-Wealth, AUM and AUA growth was 2% and 2% respectively.
Net interest income was up $4 million or 5% quarter over quarter, driven by higher average deposits partly offset by margin compression on longer term deposits.
Other income increased by $489 million or 94% quarter over quarter, including the $260 million revaluation gain noted above. Revenues were up from the consolidation of Dundee-Wealth and higher mutual fund fees, full service brokerage revenues and insurance income.
Non-interest expenses were 61% above last quarter primarily from the consolidation of DundeeWealth operations. There were higher volume related expenses, including performance-based compensation which was driven by strong fee-based revenue growth in the advice-based and asset management businesses. Partially offsetting this increase was lower stock-based compensation due to the seasonal impact of new grants.

Q2 2011 vs Q2 2010
Scotia Capital reported net income this quarter of $357 million. This compares to net income before non-controlling interests of $391 million in the same period last year, a decline of $34 million or 9%. Return on economic equity was 25.3% this quarter compared to 24.0% last year.
Average assets increased $29 billion or 19% from the same period last year. Securities purchased under resale agreements were up $12 billion and trading securities grew by $15 billion, reflecting the expansion of the fixed income business. Loans in the precious metals business were also up by $4 billion, largely due to price increases in gold and silver. This growth was partly offset by a year-over-year decline of $5 billion or 15% in corporate loans and acceptances, across all geographies.
Total revenues in the second quarter were $795 million, a decline of $63 million or 7% from the same quarter last year. This primarily reflects lower results in the institutional equities business within Global Capital Markets. Total revenue reported by Global Corporate and Investment Banking was virtually unchanged from last year, as lower lending volumes were offset by higher investment banking revenues, including record results from Scotia Waterous.
Net interest income decreased $39 million or 14% from last year, mainly due to a decline in loan origination fees and lower loan volumes reported by Global Corporate and Investment Banking. Lower interest income from trading operations also contributed to the year-over-year decline.
Scotia Capital's provision for credit losses was $10 million this quarter, compared to net reversals and recoveries of $24 million in the same period last year. New provisions in Canada and Europe were somewhat offset by reversals and recoveries in the United States. Last year's recoveries specific to the automotive industry included a $19 million reversal of the sectoral allowance.
Other income decreased $24 million or 4% from the same quarter last year. This decline was driven by lower trading revenues, primarily from the institutional equities business which were below the high levels achieved in the first half of last year. This decline was partially offset by growth in investment banking revenues and higher net gains on securities.
Non-interest expenses were $360 million this quarter, up $61 million from the second quarter of last year. The increase mainly reflects higher remuneration and benefits expenses, technology and other support costs for growth initiatives in the trading businesses, as well as higher legal expenses.
The provision for income taxes fell in the current quarter compared to last year mainly due to a higher level of tax-exempt income and a decrease in the Canadian statutory rate.
Q2 2011 vs Q1 2011
Net income increased $49 million or 16% from last quarter.
Average assets rose $7 billion this quarter, primarily from a $5 billion increase in trading securities in the fixed income and institutional equities businesses. The precious metals business also reported higher loan assets, mainly reflecting higher precious metal prices. Corporate loans and acceptances declined marginally, due partly to the impact of the strengthening Canadian dollar.
Total revenues this quarter of $795 million declined slightly from $804 million in the previous quarter, due mainly to a modest decrease in the trading businesses, as reductions in institutional equities and precious metals were largely offset by stronger fixed income revenues. Revenues reported by Global Corporate and Investment Banking were at the same level as last quarter, as higher investment banking revenues were offset by lower corporate lending revenues.
Net interest income declined 6% compared to the prior quarter reflecting lower spreads earned in Canada and the United States as well as reduced loan origination fees. These declines were partially offset by a modest increase in interest income from trading operations.
Scotia Capital's provision for credit losses was $10 million this quarter, compared to net reversals and recoveries of $3 million in the previous quarter. New provisions in Canada and Europe were somewhat offset by reversals and recoveries in the United States.
Other income increased slightly by $7 million or 1% over the prior quarter, driven by higher net gains on non-trading securities. Investment banking revenues also rose along with credit fees earned in Canada. The increases were partially offset by lower trading revenues reported in the precious metals, fixed income and institutional equities businesses.
Total non-interest expenses this quarter were $360 million representing a 7% decline from last quarter. The decline was primarily a result of lower stock-based compensation, which is cyclically higher in the first quarter. Salaries and benefits costs also declined during the quarter, but were partially offset by higher technology expenses and legal provisions.
The provision for income taxes fell in comparison to the prior quarter mainly due to a higher level of tax-exempt income.

Q2 2011 vs Q2 2010
The Other segment had a net loss of $149 million in the second quarter, compared to a net loss of $183 million in the same quarter of last year.
Net interest income and the provision for income taxes include the elimination of the tax-exempt income gross-up. This amount is included in the operating segments, which are reported on a taxable equivalent basis. The elimination was $69 million in the second quarter, compared to $71 million in the same period last year.
Total revenue this quarter was negative $188 million, an improvement of $42 million from the prior year.
Net interest income was negative $243 million this quarter as compared to negative $311 million in the same quarter last year. The year-over-year improvement was mainly due to the increase in wholesale rates used for transfer pricing with the business segments and a favourable change in the fair value of financial instruments used for asset/liability management purposes.
Other income was $55 million in the second quarter, $26 million lower than last year. The decrease was partly due to lower net gains on securities.
Non-interest expenses were $36 million this quarter, an increase of $3 million from last year.
The provision for income taxes was a credit of $75 million this quarter, a decline of $5 million from the prior year.
Q2 2011 vs Q1 2011
There was a net loss of $149 million in the second quarter, an improvement of $39 million from a net loss of $188 million in the prior quarter.
The elimination of the tax-exempt income gross-up was $69 million this quarter, relatively unchanged from last quarter.
Total revenue this quarter was negative $188 million, comparable to last quarter.
Net interest income was negative $243 million in the second quarter, compared to negative $262 million last quarter, mainly due to the change in the fair value of financial instruments used for asset/liability management purposes.
Other income was $55 million in the second quarter, $22 million below last quarter. This decrease was due mainly to lower securitization revenues.
Non-interest expenses were $36 million this quarter, $28 million lower than last quarter mainly from lower stock-based compensation and legal costs and a decrease in technology project expenses.
The provision for income taxes was a credit of $75 million this quarter, an increase of $14 million from the prior quarter.

Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended October 31, 2010. The significant
accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim consolidated
financial statements are consistent with those used in the Bank's year
end audited consolidated financial statements except as discussed below.
Note 1 to the Bank's 2010 annual audited consolidated financial
statements describes the Bank's accounting policies.
1. Changes in accounting policies
Business combinations, consolidated financial statements and
non-controlling interest
In January 2009, the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA)
issued new accounting standards on Business Combinations, Consolidated
Financial Statements and Non-controlling Interests. These standards are
aligned with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and are
effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with earlier
adoption permitted. If an entity elects to early adopt, all three
standards are required to be adopted concurrently.
The business combination standard addresses the valuation of the
identified assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination and
the date at which the valuations should be determined. The other two
standards are revised to ensure that the requirements embedded in the
business combination standards are applied appropriately to the
preparation of consolidated financial statements and the accounting for
non-controlling interest after the acquisition date.
The Bank has elected to early adopt all three standards retrospectively
from November 1, 2010. As a result, all business acquisitions that
occurred from November 1, 2010 have been accounted for under the revised
standards.
The key principle underlying the business combinations standard is that
all acquisitions be measured at fair value on the acquisition date. The
key changes in the standards are:
- The acquisition accounting is at fair value (under the GAAP prior to
adoption only the Bank's proportionate share of fair value
adjustments were accounted for);
- Non-controlling interest is measured at fair value (excludes
proportionate share of goodwill) and treated as equity;
- Acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs are expensed as
incurred while prior GAAP permitted some to be set up at acquisition
date;
- Contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities, if any,
are recorded at fair value on acquisition and subsequent changes in
fair value are recorded in income;
- When the purchase consideration is in the form of equity shares of
the acquirer, they are measured at fair value at the acquisition
date, rather than the prior GAAP requirement which is the
announcement date; and
- Step-acquisitions are accounted for at fair value allowing for a
gain/loss to be recognized in income on the date of the transaction
due to revaluation of the original investment.
The retrospective application of the revised accounting standards has
resulted in a restatement of the first quarter consolidated financial
statements only with respect to non-controlling interest. Other than the
reclassification of non-controlling interest, there was no material
impact to the Bank's consolidated financial statements as at and for the
quarter ended January 31, 2011. The reclassifications relating to
non-controlling interests were as follows:
- Non-controlling interests have been reclassified from liabilities to
equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
- Non-controlling interests' portion of income is no longer a deduction
when calculating the net income in the Consolidated Statement of
Income. Net income is now apportioned between the Bank's equity
holders and non-controlling interests.
With respect to the second quarter consolidated financial statements, the
adoption of these new accounting standards has resulted in a net gain of
$286 million being recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The
gain arose substantially from accounting for the Bank's additional
investment in DundeeWealth Inc. (DundeeWealth). This additional
investment was considered a step-acquisition and accounted for on a fair
value basis resulting in a net gain of $260 million from the revaluation
of the Bank's original 18% investment in DundeeWealth.
The remaining $26 million gain related to the acquisition accounting for
a recent acquisition which was purchased at a price lower than fair
value. The new standards require negative goodwill to be recognized in
income without first reducing non-monetary assets, resulting in a higher
gain in income under the new standards.
Under prior Canadian GAAP $26 million would have been recorded as
negative goodwill. With the change, the total negative goodwill
recognized was $52 million.
The adoption of new accounting standards, resulted in additional purchase
consideration of approximately $350 million on the acquisition of
DundeeWealth. The increase was due primarily to the following:
- The gain from the reevaluation of the original investments, is
considered part of the purchase consideration; and
- The common shares issued by the Bank as consideration for the
acquisition were valued at closing date price versus announcement
date price as per prior GAAP (incremental $110 million).

(1) Cost for debt securities is amortized cost.
(2) Includes securities retained by the Bank in connection with its
mortgage securitizations. The outstanding balance of these
mortgage-backed securities is $20,154 (October 31, 2010 - $17,809).
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation provides a guarantee of
timely payment to NHA mortgage-backed security investors.
The net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities of
$1,208 million (January 31, 2011 - gain of $1,164 million; October 31,
2010 - gain of $1,417 million) decreases to a net unrealized gain of
$1,126 million (January 31, 2011 - gain of $1,058 million; October 31,
2010 - gain of $1,189 million) after the impact of qualifying hedges is
taken into account. The net unrealized gain on available-for-sale
securities is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.
Prior period reclassification
As discussed in Note 1 of the Bank's 2010 annual audited consolidated
financial statements, the Bank reclassified certain trading securities to
available-for-sale securities effective August 1, 2008. These assets were
comprised of $303 million of bond assets and $91 million of preferred
shares that were no longer traded in an active market and which
management intends to hold for the foreseeable future.
As at April 30, 2011, the fair values of the bond assets and preferred
shares were $34 million (January 31, 2011 - $82 million; October 31, 2010
- $128 million) and $48 million (January 31, 2011 - $49 million; October
31, 2010 - $52 million), respectively.
Due to the reclassification of bond assets, for the three and six months
ended April 30, 2011, the Bank recorded a pre-tax loss of $13 million
(January 31, 2011 - loss of $3 million; April 30, 2010 - gain of
$5 million) and a loss of $16 million (April 30, 2010 - gain of
$14 million), respectively in other comprehensive income, relating to
fair value movements. Due to the reclassification of preferred shares,
for the three and six months ended April 30, 2011, the Bank recorded a
pre-tax gain of nil (January 31, 2011 - gain of $1 million; April 30,
2010 - loss of $2 million) and a gain of $1 million (April 30, 2010 -
gain of $2 million), respectively, in other comprehensive income relating
to fair value movements. If these reclassifications had not been made,
these gains and losses would have been recorded in the Consolidated
Statement of Income.
3. Sales of loans through securitizations
The Bank securitizes residential mortgages through the creation of
mortgage-backed securities. No credit losses are expected, as the
mortgages are insured. For the quarter ended April 30, 2011, the key
weighted-average assumptions used to measure the fair value at the dates
of securitization were a prepayment rate of 24.7%, an excess spread of
1.1% and a discount rate of 2.0%. The following table summarizes the
Bank's sales.

consolidates SCB Trust as it is exposed to a majority of the variability
of its assets. Total assets in SCB Trust as at April 30, 2011 were
approximately $7.7 billion, comprised mainly of residential mortgages.
7. Capital management
The Bank has a capital management process in place to measure, deploy and
monitor its available capital and assess its adequacy. The objectives and
practices of the Bank's capital management process are consistent with
those in place as at October 31, 2010.
Regulatory capital ratios
Regulatory capital ratios are determined in accordance with the revised
capital framework based on the international convergence of capital
measurement and capital standards: A Revised Framework, commonly known as
Basel II.
The two primary regulatory capital ratios used to assess capital adequacy
are Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, which are determined by dividing
those capital components by risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets
represent the Bank's exposures to credit, market and operational risk and
are computed by applying a combination of the Bank's internal credit risk
parameters and the OSFI prescribed risk weights to on-and off-balance
sheet exposures.
The Bank uses the Advanced Internal Ratings Based Approach (AIRB) to
compute credit risk for material Canadian, U.S. and European portfolios
and effective 2011, for a significant portion of international corporate
and commercial portfolios. The Bank is targeting the remaining material
credit portfolios for application of AIRB approach by fiscal 2013, that
currently uses the standardized approach. The Bank uses both internal
models and standardized approaches to calculate market risk capital. In
the first quarter, the Bank expanded the use of internal market risk
models to include some portfolios that were previously under the
standardized approach. The Bank uses the standardized approach to
calculate the operational risk capital requirements.
The regulatory minimum ratios prescribed by OSFI are 7% for Tier 1
capital and 10% for Total capital. The Bank substantially exceeded these
minimum ratio thresholds as at April 30, 2011. OSFI has also prescribed
an assets-to-capital leverage multiple; the Bank was in compliance with
this threshold as at April 30, 2011.
Bank regulatory capital consists of two components - Tier 1 capital,
which is more permanent, and Tier 2 capital as follows:

9. Stock-based compensation
Equity Classified Stock Option Plan
In the first quarter, the Bank granted 3,414,948 options with an exercise
price of $55.63 per option and a weighted-average fair value of $9.42 to
selected employees, under the terms of the Employee Stock Option Plan.
The Black Scholes option pricing model was used to determine the grant
date fair value after incorporating appropriate assumptions as they
relate to volatility, expected term, discount rate and dividend yield.
These stock options vest evenly over a four-year period and are
exercisable no later than 10 years after the date of grant. The fair
value on the date of grant is expensed over the vesting period. Where the
employee is eligible to retire prior to the vesting date, the fair value
is expensed over the period between the grant date and the date of
retirement eligibility.
For equity classified stock options granted to date, amounts of $10
million and $28 million were recorded for the three and six months ended
April 30, 2011, respectively to non-interest expenses in the Consolidated
Statement of Income with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus
within Shareholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
10. Employee future benefits

benefits, post-employment benefits and compensated absences. The

11. Segmented results of operations
Scotiabank is a diversified financial services institution that provides
a wide range of financial products and services to retail, commercial and
corporate customers around the world. Effective November 1, 2010, the
Bank is reporting under its new business structure that includes its
newly created Global Wealth Management business segment.
The Bank's businesses are grouped into four business lines: Canadian
Banking, International Banking, Global Wealth Management (GWM) and Scotia
Capital.
The Other category represents smaller operating segments, including Group
Treasury and other corporate items, which are not allocated to an
operating segment.
The results of these business segments are based upon the internal
financial reporting systems of the Bank. The accounting policies used in
these segments are generally consistent with those followed in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements as disclosed in
Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements in the 2010 Annual
Report. The only notable accounting measurement difference is the
grossing up of tax-exempt net interest income to an equivalent before-tax
basis for those affected segments. This change in measurement enables the
comparison of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt
sources.
Scotiabank's results, and average assets for the three months ended
April 30, 2011, allocated by these operating segments, are as follows:

12. Financial instruments
Risk management
The Bank's principal business activities result in a balance sheet that
consists primarily of financial instruments. In addition, the Bank uses
derivative financial instruments for both trading and asset/liability
management purposes. The principal financial risks that arise from
transacting financial instruments include credit risk, liquidity risk and
market risk. The Bank's framework to monitor, evaluate and manage these
risks is consistent with that in place as at October 31, 2010.
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss resulting from the failure of a borrower
or counterparty to honour its financial or contractual obligations to the
Bank.
Credit risk exposures disclosed below are presented based on Basel II
approaches utilized by the Bank. The Bank uses the advanced internal
ratings based approach (AIRB) for all material Canadian, U.S. and
European portfolios, and effective 2011 for a significant portion of all
international corporate and commercial portfolios. The remaining
portfolios, including other international portfolios, are treated under
the standardized approach. Under the AIRB approach, the Bank uses
internal risk parameter estimates, based on historical experience.
Under the standardized approach, credit risk is estimated using the risk
weights as prescribed by the Basel II framework, either based on credit
assessments by external rating agencies or based on the counterparty type
for non-retail exposures and product type for retail exposures.

(1) After credit risk mitigation, excludes available-for-sale equity
securities and other assets.
(2) Non-retail AIRB drawn and undrawn exposures include government
guaranteed mortgages.
(3) Non-retail drawn includes loans, bankers' acceptances, deposits with
banks and available-for-sale debt securities.
(4) Includes off-balance sheet lending instruments such as letters of
credit, letters of guarantee, securitization, derivatives and
repo-style transactions net of related collateral.
(5) Retail drawn includes residential mortgages, credit cards, lines of
credit and other personal loans.
Credit quality of non-retail exposures
The Bank's non-retail portfolio is well diversified by industry. As at
April 30, 2011 and January 31, 2011, a significant portion of the
authorized corporate and commercial lending portfolio was internally
assessed at a grade that would generally equate to an investment grade
rating by external rating agencies. There has not been a significant
change in concentrations of credit risk since October 31, 2010.
Credit quality of retail exposures
The Bank's retail portfolios consist of a number of relatively small
loans to a large number of borrowers. The portfolios are distributed
across Canada and a wide range of countries. As such, the portfolios
inherently have a high degree of diversification.
Retail standardized portfolio
The retail standardized portfolio of $28 billion as at April 30, 2011
(January 31, 2011 - $29 billion; October 31, 2010 - $29 billion), was
comprised of residential mortgages, personal loans, credit cards and
lines of credit to individuals, mainly in the Caribbean and Latin
American region. Of the total standardized retail exposures, $16 billion
(January 31, 2011 - $17 billion; October 31, 2010 - $17 billion) was
represented by mortgages and loans secured by residential real estate,
mostly with a loan-to-value ratio of below 80%.
Loans past due but not impaired(1)
A loan is considered past due when a counterparty has not made a payment
by the contractual due date. The following table presents the carrying
value of loans that are past due but not classified as impaired because
they are either less than 90 days past due or fully secured, and
collection efforts are reasonably expected to result in repayment, or
restoring it to a current status in accordance with the Bank's policy.

(1) Loans past due 30 days or less are not presented in this analysis
as they are not administratively considered past due.
(b) Market risk
Market risk arises from changes in market prices and rates (including
interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices, foreign exchange rates and
commodity prices), the correlations among them, and their levels of
volatility.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk, inclusive of credit spread risk, is the risk of loss
due to the following: changes in the level, slope and curvature of the
yield curve; the volatility of interest rates; mortgage prepayment rates;
changes in the market price of credit; and the creditworthiness of a
particular issuer.
Interest rate sensitivity

Non-trading foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk of loss due to changes in spot and
forward rates, and the volatility of currency exchange rates.
As at April 30, 2011, a one per cent increase (decrease) in the Canadian
dollar against all currencies in which the Bank operates decreases
(increases) the Bank's before-tax annual earnings by approximately $34
million (January 31, 2011 - $34 million; April 30, 2010 - $36 million) in
the absence of hedging activity, primarily from exposure to U.S. dollars.
A similar change in the Canadian dollar as at April 30, 2011, would
increase (decrease) the unrealized foreign currency translation losses in
the accumulated other comprehensive income section of shareholders'
equity by approximately $190 million (January 31, 2011 - $198 million;
April 30, 2010 - $189 million), net of hedging.
Equity risk
Equity risk is the risk of loss due to adverse movements in equity
prices. The Bank is exposed to equity risk through its available-for-sale
equity portfolios. The fair value of available-for-sale equity securities
is shown in Note 2.
Trading portfolio risk management
Market risk arising from the Bank's trading activities can be aggregated
using VaR and stress testing measures. The table below shows the Bank's
VaR by risk factor:

Hedges
There are three main types of hedges for accounting purposes: (i) fair
value hedges, (ii) cash flow hedges and (iii) net investment hedges.
In a fair value hedge, the change in fair value of the hedging derivative
is offset in the Consolidated Statement of Income by the change in fair
value of the hedged item relating to the hedged risk. The Bank uses fair
value hedges primarily to convert fixed rate financial assets and
liabilities to floating rate. The main financial instruments designated
in fair value hedging relationships include bond assets, loans, deposit
liabilities and subordinated debentures.
In a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value of the hedging derivative
is recorded in other comprehensive income until the hedged item affects
the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Bank uses cash flow hedges
primarily to convert floating rate deposit liabilities to fixed rate. The
reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings
over the next 12 months as a result of outstanding cash flow hedges is
expected to be a net after-tax loss of approximately $152 million
(January 31, 2011 - $162 million; April 30, 2010 - $167 million). The
maximum length of cash flow hedges outstanding was less than 9 years
(January 31, 2011 - less than 9 years; October 31, 2010 - less than 9
years). Any hedge ineffectiveness is measured and recorded in current
period income in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Bank recorded
a gain of $10 million during the three months ended April 30, 2011
(January 31, 2011 - gain of $28 million; April 30, 2010 - gain of $44
million), of which a gain of $11 million (January 31, 2011 - gain of $26
million; April 30, 2010 - gain of $10 million) related to cash flow
hedges, due to the ineffective portion of designated hedges. For the six
months ended April 30, 2011, the Bank recorded a gain of $38 million
(April 30, 2010 - gain of $71 million) of which a gain of $37 million
(April 30, 2010 - gain of $11 million) related to cash flow hedges. When
either a fair value or cash flow hedge is discontinued, any cumulative
adjustment to either the hedged item or other comprehensive income is
recognized in income over the remaining term of the original hedge, or
when the hedged item is derecognized.
In a net investment hedge, the change in fair value of the hedging
instrument is recorded directly in other comprehensive income. These
amounts are recognized in income when the corresponding cumulative
translation adjustments from the self-sustaining foreign operation are
recognized in income. No ineffectiveness was recognized on net investment
hedges.
Financial instruments designated as trading
The Bank has elected to designate certain portfolios of assets and
liabilities as trading, which are carried at fair value with changes in
fair values recorded in income.
These portfolios include:
- loans to economically hedge the derivative exposure arising from
credit derivatives in the trading book transacted on behalf of
customers, in order to significantly reduce or eliminate an
accounting mismatch.
- loans in specifically authorized trading portfolios for which
performance is evaluated on a fair value basis.
- certain debt and equity investments, in order to reduce an accounting
mismatch between these assets and fair value changes in related
derivatives.
- certain deposit note liabilities containing extension features, in
order to significantly reduce an accounting mismatch between these
liabilities and fair value changes in related derivatives.
The following table presents the fair value of assets and liabilities
designated as trading and their changes in fair value.

(1) These amounts were recorded in trading income except for deposit

(2) The changes in fair value of these loans were substantially offset by
the changes in the fair value of the related credit derivatives.
(3) As at April 30, 2011, the Bank was contractually obligated to pay
$106 to the holders of the notes at maturity (January 31, 2011 - $97
and October 31, 2010 - $97).
Fair value hierarchy
The Bank values instruments carried at fair value using quoted market
prices, where available. Quoted market prices represent a Level 1
valuation. When quoted market prices are not available, the Bank
maximizes the use of observable inputs within valuation models. When all
significant inputs are observable, the valuation is classified as Level
2. Valuations that require the significant use of unobservable inputs are
considered Level 3. The following table outlines the fair value hierarchy
of instruments carried at fair value.

13. Acquisitions
Acquisition of DundeeWealth Inc.
On February 1, 2011, the Bank completed its acquisition of DundeeWealth
Inc. (DundeeWealth). After the transaction, the Bank owned approximately
120 million common shares of DundeeWealth (representing 97% of the issued
and outstanding common shares of DundeeWealth) and all of the issued and
outstanding special shares and first preference shares, series X of
DundeeWealth. Subsequently, on March 9, 2011, the Bank acquired the
remaining 3% of the common shares of DundeeWealth.
The Bank issued approximately 32 million common shares, 16 million
preferred shares and cash totalling $2.8 billion as consideration for the
purchase of DundeeWealth. Prior to closing, DundeeWealth paid a special
cash dividend of $2.00 per common share and special share and $1.67 per
first preference share, series X and also distributed to its shareholders
one common share of Dundee Capital Markets Inc. (DCM) per common share
and special share and 0.83 of a DCM common share per first preference
share, series X. As a result, the Bank now owns approximately 18% of the
issued and outstanding common shares of DCM.
The preliminary purchase price allocation for the DundeeWealth
acquisition includes intangibles of $2.6 billion and goodwill of $1.2
billion. The purchase price allocation may be refined as the Bank
completes its valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
