Core business performance

Retail and Business Banking reported net income of $546 million for the second quarter, down $26 million or 5% from the second quarter a year ago. Adjusting for the items of note shown above, adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ was $563 million, down $10 million or 2% from the second quarter a year ago as a result of lower cards revenue due to the Aeroplan transactions with Aimia and TD, partially offset by volume growth across most products and lower loan losses.

During the second quarter of 2014, Retail and Business Banking continued to make progress against our objectives of accelerating profitable revenue growth and enhancing the client experience:

We were the first bank in Canada to launch eDeposit™ for business banking clients, enabling them to quickly scan, securely upload and deposit a large number of cheques in a single transaction using a desktop cheque scanner;
We opened our first CIBC location at Pearson Airport - part of an innovative new partnership with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority as the exclusive Financial Institution sponsor at Canada's largest airport; and
Sales of CIBC's Aventura® Travel rewards credit cards remained strong and have already exceeded expectations for the full year.

Wealth Management reported net income of $117 million for the second quarter, up $26 million or 29% from the second quarter a year ago.

Revenue of $548 million was up $105 million or 24% compared with the second quarter of 2013. This was primarily due to higher client assets under management driven by market appreciation and net sales of long-term mutual funds, higher fee-based and commission revenue, the acquisition of Atlantic Trust and higher contribution from our stake in American Century Investments.

During the second quarter of 2014, Wealth Management continued its progress in support of our strategic priority to build our wealth management platform:

We achieved our 21^st consecutive quarter of positive net retail sales of long-term mutual funds;
CIBC Wood Gundy client satisfaction continued to strengthen with an overall rating of 91%, which is among the industry leaders; and
The Atlantic Trust integration has progressed well and overall net flows continue to be solid.

Wholesale Banking reported net income of $213 million for the second quarter, down $51 million or 19% from the prior quarter. Excluding items of note, adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ was $228 million, up $13 million or 6% from the prior quarter.

As a leading wholesale bank in Canada, active in core Canadian industries in the rest of the world, Wholesale Banking acted as:

Joint bookrunner for Enbridge Inc.'s $1.4 billion three-tranche offering of Medium Term Notes;
Lead manager for a $300 million 10-year offering by the Province of Manitoba;
Joint bookrunner on PIMCO Global Income Opportunities Fund's $690 million unit offering;
Joint bookrunner and co-lead arranger on US$2.5 billion in credit facilities related to the acquisition of any or all of the outstanding shares of Brookfield Office Properties Inc. by Brookfield Property Partners L.P. and its indirect subsidiaries; and
Financial advisor to the Special Committee of Atrium Innovations on its sale to Permira Holdings for US$966 million.

"In summary, our businesses performed well this quarter," says Mr. McCaughey. "We continued to execute our growth strategy and remain focused on deepening client relationships to deliver consistent and sustainable earnings growth."

Making a difference in our Communities
CIBC is committed to supporting causes that matter to our clients, our employees and our communities. During the quarter we:

Committed $2 million to support the next generation of leaders through scholarships and diversity education at Rotman School of Management, Richard Ivey School of Business and HEC Montréal;

External reporting changes

The following external reporting changes were made in the first quarter of 2014. Prior period amounts were restated accordingly.

Amendments to IAS 19 "Employee Benefits"
We adopted amendments to IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" commencing November 1, 2011, which require us to recognize: (i) actuarial gains and losses in Other comprehensive income (OCI) in the period in which they arise; (ii) interest income on plan assets in net income using the same rate as that used to discount the defined benefit obligation; and (iii) all past service costs (gains) in net income in the period in which they arise.

Adoption of IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements"
We adopted IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" commencing November 1, 2012, which replaces IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements" and Standards Interpretation Committee (SIC) - 12 "Consolidated - Special Purpose Entities". The adoption of IFRS 10 required us to deconsolidate CIBC Capital Trust from the consolidated financial statements, which resulted in a replacement of Capital Trust securities issued by CIBC Capital Trust with Business and government deposits for the senior deposit notes issued by us to CIBC Capital Trust.

Sale of Aeroplan portfolio
On December 27, 2013, we sold approximately 50 percent of our Aerogold VISA portfolio, consisting primarily of credit card only customers, to the Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD). Accordingly, the revenue related to the sold credit card portfolio was moved from Personal Banking to the Other line of business within Retail and Business Banking.

Allocation of Treasury activities
Treasury-related transfer pricing continues to be charged or credited to each line of business within our Strategic Business Units (SBUs). We changed our approach to allocating the residual financial impact of Treasury activities. Certain fees are charged directly to the lines of business, and the residual net revenue is retained in Corporate and Other.

Income statement presentation
We reclassified certain amounts associated with our self-managed credit card portfolio from Non-interest expenses to Non-interest income. There was no impact on consolidated net income due to this reclassification.

Overview

Financial results
Reported net income for the quarter was $306 million, compared with $862 million for the same quarter last year and $1,177 million for the prior quarter. Reported net income for the six months ended April 30, 2014 was $1,483 million, compared with $1,647 million for the same period in 2013.

Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $887 million, compared with $862 million for the same quarter last year and $951 million for the prior quarter. Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ for the six months ended April 30, 2014 was $1,838 million, compared with $1,744 million for the same period in 2013.

Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was $0.73, compared with $2.09 for the same quarter last year and $2.88 for the prior quarter. Reported diluted EPS for the six months ended April 30, 2014 was $3.61, compared with $3.96 for the same period in 2013.

Adjusted diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $2.17, compared with $2.09 for the same quarter last year and $2.31 for the prior quarter. Adjusted diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ for the six months ended April 30, 2014 was $4.48, compared with $4.20 for the same period in 2013.

Net income for the current quarter was affected by the following items of note:

$543 million ($543 million after-tax) of charges relating to FirstCaribbean International Bank Limited (CIBC FirstCaribbean), comprising a goodwill impairment charge of $420 million ($420 million after-tax) and loan losses of $123 million ($123 million after-tax), reflecting revised expectations on the extent and timing of the anticipated economic recovery in the Caribbean region (Corporate and Other);
$22 million ($16 million after-tax) expenses relating to the development of our enhanced travel rewards program and in respect of the Aeroplan transactions with Aimia Canada Inc. and TD (Retail and Business Banking);
$22 million ($12 million after-tax) loan losses in our exited U.S. leveraged finance portfolio (Wholesale Banking);
$9 million ($7 million after-tax) amortization of intangible assets⁽²⁾ ($1 million after-tax in Retail and Business Banking, $4 million after-tax in Wealth Management, and $2 million after-tax in Corporate and Other); and
$4 million ($3 million after-tax) loss from the structured credit run-off business (Wholesale Banking).

The above items of note decreased revenue by $8 million, increased provision for credit losses by $145 million, non-interest expenses by $447 million, and decreased income tax expenses by $19 million. In aggregate, these items of note decreased net income by $581 million.

Net interest income⁽³⁾
Net interest income was down $24 million or 1% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower card-related net interest income as a result of the Aeroplan transactions with Aimia Canada Inc. (Aimia) and TD in the first quarter of 2014, lower treasury-related net interest income and lower revenue from our exited FirstLine mortgage broker business. These factors were partially offset by volume growth across most retail products and higher revenue from corporate banking.

Net interest income was down $107 million or 6% from the prior quarter, primarily due to fewer days in the quarter, lower card-related net interest income as a result of the Aeroplan transactions and lower treasury-related net interest income.

Net interest income for the six months ended April 30, 2014 was up $26 million or 1% from the same period in 2013, primarily due to volume growth across most retail products, and higher revenue from corporate banking and U.S. real estate finance. These factors were partially offset by lower card-related net interest income as a result of the Aeroplan transactions, lower treasury-related net interest income and lower revenue from our exited FirstLine mortgage broker business.

Non-interest income⁽³⁾
Non-interest income was up $67 million or 5% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher mutual fund and investment management and custodial fees, partially offset by lower card fees as a result of the Aeroplan transactions noted above.

Non-interest income was down $360 million or 21% from the prior quarter. The prior quarter included the gains relating to the Aeroplan transactions and the sale of an equity investment in our exited European leveraged finance portfolio, both shown as items of note.

Non-interest income for the six months ended April 30, 2014 was up $486 million or 19% from the same period in 2013, primarily due to the gains relating to the Aeroplan transactions, the sale of an equity investment, higher mutual fund and investment management and custodial fees, partially offset by lower card fees as a result of the Aeroplan transactions.

(1)	For additional information, see the "Non-GAAP measures" section.
(2)	Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, also includes amortization of intangible assets for equity-accounted associates.
(3)	Trading activities and related risk management strategies can periodically shift trading income between net interest income and non-interest income. Therefore, we view total trading income as the most appropriate measure of trading performance.

Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses was up $65 million or 25% from the same quarter last year. In Retail and Business Banking, the provision was down mainly due to lower write-offs and bankruptcies in the card portfolio, including the impact of the sold Aeroplan portfolio, and lower losses in the business lending portfolio. In Wholesale Banking, the provision was comparable with the same quarter last year. In Corporate and Other, the provision was up due to the loan losses relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean, shown as an item of note.

Provision for credit losses was up $112 million or 51% from the prior quarter. In Retail and Business Banking, the provision was down primarily due to a charge resulting from operational changes in the processing of write-offs in the prior quarter, shown as an item of note, and lower losses due to the impact of the sold Aeroplan portfolio. In Wholesale Banking, the provision was up mainly due to higher losses in our exited U.S. leveraged finance portfolio, shown as an item of note. In Corporate and Other, the provision was up primarily due to the loan losses relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean noted above. The prior quarter had a reduction in the collective allowance reported in this segment, including lower estimated credit losses relating to the Alberta floods, shown as an item of note.

Provision for credit losses for the six months ended April 30, 2014 was up $18 million or 3% from the same period in 2013. In Retail and Business Banking, the provision was down mainly due to lower write-offs and bankruptcies in the card portfolio, including the impact of the sold Aeroplan portfolio, and lower losses in the business lending portfolio, partially offset by the charge relating to the write-offs noted above. In Wholesale Banking, the provision was down due to lower losses in the U.S. real estate finance portfolio. In Corporate and Other, the provision was up due to the loan losses relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean, partially offset by the reduction in the collective allowance noted above.

Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses were up $587 million or 32% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to the goodwill impairment charge relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean, shown as an item of note, higher employee-related compensation, computer, software and office equipment expenses, and costs relating to the development of our enhanced travel rewards program and to the Aeroplan transactions, shown as an item of note.

Non-interest expenses were up $433 million or 22% from the prior quarter, primarily due to the goodwill impairment charge relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean.

Non-interest expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2014 were up $578 million or 15% from the same period in 2013, primarily due to the goodwill impairment charge relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean, higher employee-related compensation, computer, software and office equipment expenses and costs relating to development of our enhanced travel rewards program and to the Aeroplan transactions. The same period last year had higher expenses in the structured credit run-off business, which included the Lehman-related settlement charge shown as an item of note.

Income taxes
Income tax expense was down $53 million or 31% from the same quarter last year, and down $141 million or 54% from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower income. No tax recovery was booked in the current quarter in respect of the CIBC FirstCaribbean goodwill impairment charge and loan losses.

Income tax expense for the six months ended April 30, 2014 was up $80 million or 27% from the same period in 2013. Income tax expense was up notwithstanding lower income, primarily due to no tax recovery being booked in the current year period in respect of the CIBC FirstCaribbean goodwill impairment charge and loan losses.

In prior years, the Canada Revenue Agency issued reassessments disallowing the deduction of approximately $3 billion of the 2005 Enron settlement payments and related legal expenses. The matter is currently in litigation. The Tax Court of Canada trial on the deductibility of the Enron payments is scheduled to commence in October 2015.

Should we successfully defend our tax filing position in its entirety, we would recognize an additional accounting tax benefit of $214 million and taxable refund interest of approximately $202 million. Should we fail to defend our position in its entirety, we would incur an additional tax expense of approximately $866 million and non-deductible interest of approximately $124 million.

Impact of items of note in prior periods
Net income for the prior quarters was affected by the following items of note:

Q1, 2014

$239 million ($183 million after-tax) gain in respect of the Aeroplan transactions with Aimia and TD, net of costs relating to the development of our enhanced travel rewards program ($123 million after-tax in Retail and Business Banking, and $60 million after-tax in Corporate and Other);
$78 million ($57 million after-tax) gain, net of associated expenses, on the sale of an equity investment in our exited European leveraged finance portfolio (Wholesale Banking);

The above items of note increased revenue by $28 million, non-interest expenses by $165 million, and decreased income tax expenses by $40 million. In aggregate, these items of note decreased net income by $97 million.

Significant events

Goodwill impairment
During the quarter, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $420 million relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean. This impairment reflects revised expectations on the extent and timing of the anticipated economic recovery in the Caribbean region. For additional information, see Accounting and control matters section and Note 6 to our interim consolidated financial statements.

Aeroplan Agreements and enhancements to CIBC travel rewards program
On December 27, 2013, CIBC completed the transactions contemplated by the tri-party agreements with Aimia and TD that were announced on September 16, 2013.

CIBC sold to TD approximately 50% of its existing Aerogold VISA credit card portfolio, consisting primarily of credit card only customers. Consistent with its strategy to invest in and deepen client relationships, CIBC retained the Aerogold VISA credit card accounts held by clients with broader banking relationships at CIBC.

The portfolio divested by CIBC consisted of $3.3 billion of credit card receivables. Upon closing, CIBC received a cash payment from TD equal to the credit card receivables outstanding being acquired by TD.

CIBC also received upon closing, in aggregate, $200 million in upfront payments from TD and Aimia.

In addition to these amounts, CIBC released $81 million of allowance for credit losses related to the sold portfolio, and incurred $3 million in direct costs related to the transaction in the three months ended January 31, 2014. The net gain on sale of the sold portfolio recognized in the three months ended January 31, 2014, which included the upfront payments, release of allowance for credit losses and costs related to the transaction, was $278 million ($211 million after-tax).

Under the terms of the agreements:

CIBC continues to have rights to market the Aeroplan program and originate new Aerogold cardholders through its CIBC branded channels.
The parties have agreed to certain provisions to compensate for the risk of cardholder migration from one party to another. There is potential for payments of up to $400 million by TD/Aimia or CIBC for net cardholder migration over a period of 5 years.
CIBC expects to receive annual commercial subsidy payments from TD of approximately $38 million per year in each of the three years after closing.
The CIBC and Aimia agreement includes an option for either party to terminate the agreement after the third year and provides for penalty payments due from CIBC to Aimia if holders of Aeroplan credit cards from CIBC's retained portfolio switch to other CIBC credit cards above certain thresholds.
CIBC is working with TD under an interim servicing agreement to effect a smooth transition of the cardholders moving to TD.

In conjunction with the completion of the Aeroplan transaction, CIBC has fully released Aimia and TD from any potential claims in connection with TD becoming Aeroplan's primary financial credit card partner.

Separate from the tri-party agreements, CIBC continues with its plan to provide enhancements to our proprietary travel rewards program, delivering on our commitment to give our clients access to a market leading travel rewards program. The enhanced program is built on extensive research and feedback from our clients and from Canadians about what they want from their travel rewards card.

CIBC incurred incremental costs of $22 million ($16 million after-tax) relating to the development of our enhanced travel rewards programs and in respect of supporting the tri-party agreements in the three months ended April 30, 2014 ($39 million ($28 million after-tax) in the three months ended January 31, 2014).

Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management
On December 31, 2013, CIBC completed the acquisition of Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management (Atlantic Trust) from its parent company, Invesco Ltd., for $224 million (US$210 million) plus working capital and other adjustments. Atlantic Trust provides integrated wealth management solutions for high-net-worth individuals, families, foundations and endowments in the United States. The results of the acquired business have been consolidated from the date of close and are included in the Wealth Management SBU. For additional information, see Note 3 to our interim consolidated financial statements.

Sale of equity investment
On November 29, 2013, CIBC sold an equity investment that was previously acquired through a loan restructuring in CIBC's exited European leveraged finance business. The transaction resulted in an after-tax gain, net of associated expenses, of $57 million.

Wholesale Banking revenue and income taxes are reported on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB) with an equivalent offset in the revenue
and income taxes of Corporate and Other.

Our quarterly results are modestly affected by seasonal factors. The second quarter has fewer days as compared with the other quarters, generally leading to lower earnings. The summer months (July - third quarter and August - fourth quarter) typically experience lower levels of capital markets activity, which affects our brokerage, investment management, and wholesale banking activities.

Revenue
Retail and Business Banking revenue has benefitted from volume growth across most retail products, largely offset by the impact of the sold Aeroplan portfolio from the first quarter of 2014, the continued low interest rate environment, and attrition in our exited FirstLine mortgage broker business. The first quarter of 2014 also included the gain relating to the Aeroplan transactions with Aimia and TD.

Wealth Management revenue has benefitted from the impact of the acquisition of Atlantic Trust from the first quarter of 2014, higher average assets under management (AUM), higher contribution from our equity-accounted investment in American Century Investments (ACI) and strong net sales of long-term mutual funds.

Wholesale Banking revenue is influenced, to a large extent, by capital markets conditions and growth in the equity derivatives business which has resulted in higher tax-exempt income. Revenue has also been impacted by the volatility in the structured credit run-off business. The first quarter of 2014 included a gain on the sale of an equity investment in our exited European leveraged finance portfolio, while the fourth quarter of 2013 included impairment of an equity position associated with our exited U.S. leveraged finance portfolio. The fourth quarter of 2012 included a gain on sale of interests in entities in relation to the acquisition of TMX Group Inc. and the loss relating to the change in valuation of collateralized derivatives to an overnight index swap (OIS) basis.

Corporate and Other includes the offset related to tax-exempt income noted above. The first quarter of 2014 included the gain relating to the Aeroplan transactions noted above and the first quarter of 2013 included the gain on sale of the private wealth management business (Asia).

Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses is dependent upon the credit cycle in general and on the credit performance of the loan portfolios. In Retail and Business Banking, losses in the card portfolio declined throughout 2012, 2013 and the first half of 2014. The losses in the card portfolio also declined as a result of the sold Aeroplan portfolio in the first quarter of 2014. A charge resulting from operational changes in the processing of write-offs was included in the first quarter of 2014, and a charge resulting from a revision of estimated loss parameters on our unsecured lending portfolios was included in the third quarter of 2013. In Wholesale Banking, the current quarter and the fourth quarter of 2012 included losses in the exited U.S. leveraged finance portfolio. The second and third quarter of 2013 had higher losses in the exited European leveraged finance portfolio. 2012 included higher losses in the U.S. real estate finance portfolio. In Corporate and Other, the current quarter had loan losses relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean. The third quarter of 2013 had an increase in the collective allowance, which included estimated credit losses relating to the Alberta floods, while the first quarter of 2014 included a decrease in collective allowance, including partial reversal of the credit losses relating to the Alberta floods.

Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses have fluctuated over the period largely due to changes in employee-related compensation and benefits, including pension expense. The current quarter had a goodwill impairment charge and the fourth quarter of 2013 had a restructuring charge relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean. The first half of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013 had expenses relating to the development of our enhanced travel rewards program, and to the Aeroplan transactions with Aimia and TD. The first quarter of 2013 also had higher expenses in the structured credit run-off business.

Income taxes
Income taxes vary with changes in income subject to tax, and the jurisdictions in which the income is earned. Taxes can also be affected by the impact of significant items. Tax-exempt income has generally been trending higher for the periods presented in the table above. No tax recovery was booked in the current quarter in respect of the CIBC FirstCaribbean goodwill impairment charge and loan losses.

Outlook for calendar year 2014
Global growth is expected to improve in the latter half of 2014, helped by a diminished burden from fiscal tightening in both the U.S. and Europe, and a continuation of stimulative monetary policy. U.S. real gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to accelerate to 2.6% as we move past the drag from tax hikes that affected 2013 and adverse first quarter weather. A pick-up in capital spending, and the lift to household incomes and credit quality from ongoing job creation should also help U.S. real GDP. Europe has emerged from recession, while emerging markets, after a slow start to the year, will benefit from improved global trade volumes. Canada's growth rate should improve to the 2.0% to 2.5% range, as firmer global conditions support exports, offsetting slower growth in housing construction and continued restraint in government program spending. Consumer demand will be sustained at moderate growth rates by job creation. Both the U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada are likely to wait until 2015 before raising short term interest rates, although longer term rates could increase later in the year in anticipation of that future policy turn.

Retail banking is likely to see little change from the recent modest growth rates trend in demand for household and mortgage credit given existing levels of debt and the past few years' policy changes in mortgages. Demand for business credit should continue to grow at a healthy pace. A further drop in the unemployment rate should support household credit quality, but there is little room for business and household insolvency rates to drop from what are already very low levels. Wealth management should see an improvement in demand for equities and other higher risk assets as global growth improves. Wholesale banking should benefit from rising capital spending and greater M&A activity that increases the demand for corporate lending and debt financing, and provincial governments will still have elevated borrowing needs, including those related to infrastructure projects. A sturdier global climate could reduce uncertainties that held back equity issuance in the prior year.

Non-GAAP measures

We use a number of financial measures to assess the performance of our business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with GAAP (IFRS), while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP, and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Investors may find these non-GAAP measures useful in analyzing financial performance. For a more detailed discussion on our non-GAAP measures, see page 12 of the 2013 Annual Report. The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures related to CIBC on a consolidated basis.

Strategic business units overview

CIBC has three SBUs - Retail and Business Banking, Wealth Management and Wholesale Banking. These SBUs are supported by six functional groups - Technology and Operations, Corporate Development, Finance, Treasury, Administration, and Risk Management, which form part of Corporate and Other. The expenses of these functional groups are generally allocated to the business lines within the SBUs. Corporate and Other also includes our International banking operations comprising mainly CIBC FirstCaribbean, strategic investments in the CIBC Mellon joint ventures and The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited, and other income statement and balance sheet items not directly attributable to the business lines.

Business unit allocations
Treasury activities impact the reported financial results of the SBUs. Each line of business within our SBUs is charged or credited with a market-based cost of funds on assets and liabilities, respectively, which impacts the revenue performance of the SBUs. Once the interest and liquidity risk inherent in our client-driven assets and liabilities is transfer priced into Treasury, it is managed within CIBC's risk framework and limits. The residual financial results associated with Treasury activities are reported in Corporate and Other. Capital is attributed to the SBUs in a manner that is intended to consistently measure and align economic costs with the underlying benefits and risks associated with SBU activities. Earnings on unattributed capital remain in Corporate and Other. We review our transfer pricing methodologies on an ongoing basis to ensure they reflect changing market environments and industry practices.

To measure and report the results of operations of the lines of business within our Retail and Business Banking and Wealth Management SBUs, we use a Manufacturer/Customer Segment/Distributor Management Model. The model uses certain estimates and allocation methodologies in the preparation of segmented financial information. Under this model, internal payments for sales and trailer commissions and distribution service fees are made among the lines of business and SBUs. Periodically, the sales and trailer commission rates paid to customer segments for certain products are revised and applied prospectively.

Net loss for the quarter was $3 million (US$3 million), compared with net income of $20 million (US$20 million) for the same quarter last year and net loss of $8 million (US$7 million) for the prior quarter. The net loss for the six months ended April 30, 2014 was $11 million (US$10 million), down $78 million (US$77 million) from the same period in 2013.

Net loss for the quarter was mainly due to net interest expense, the result of transactions completed to reduce our structured credit positions, and a decrease in the value of receivables related to protection purchased from financial guarantors (on loan assets that are carried at amortized cost), resulting from an increase in the mark-to-market (MTM) of the underlying positions. These were partially offset by gains on unhedged positions and a reduction in CVA relating to financial guarantors.

During the quarter, terminations reduced the notional of the purchased credit derivatives with financial guarantors by US$243 million. The completion of these transactions resulted in an aggregate pre-tax loss of $9 million (US$9 million), or $7 million (US$6 million) after-tax.

Excluded from the table above are equity available-for-sale (AFS) securities that we obtained in consideration for commutation of our U.S. residential
mortgage market (USRMM) contracts with financial guarantors with a carrying value of US$18 million (October 31, 2013: US$10 million).

USRMM - collateralized debt obligation (CDO)
Our net USRMM position, consisting of a written credit derivative, amounted to US$67 million. This position was hedged through protection purchased from a large U.S.-based diversified multinational insurance and financial services company with which we have market-standard collateral arrangements.

Collateralized loan obligation (CLO)
CLO positions consist of senior tranches of CLOs backed by diversified pools of primarily U.S. (63%) and European-based (34%) senior secured leveraged loans. As at April 30, 2014, approximately 35% of the total notional amount of the CLO tranches was rated equivalent to AAA, 62% was rated between the equivalent of AA+ and AA-, and the remainder was the equivalent of A or lower. As at April 30, 2014, approximately 17% of the underlying collateral was rated equivalent to BB- or higher, 59% was rated between the equivalent of B+ and B-, 5% was rated equivalent to CCC+ or lower, with the remainder unrated. The CLO positions have a weighted-average life of 2.1 years and average subordination of 31%.

Corporate debt
Corporate debt exposure consists of a large matched super senior derivative, where CIBC has purchased and sold credit protection on the same reference portfolio. The reference portfolio consists of highly diversified, predominantly investment grade corporate credit. Claims on these contracts do not occur until cumulative credit default losses from the reference portfolio exceed 30% during the remaining 32-month term of the contract. On this reference portfolio, we have sold protection to an investment dealer.

Other
Our significant positions in the Investments and loans section within Other, as at April 30, 2014, include:

Variable rate Class A-1/A-2 notes classified as trading securities with a notional value of US$264 million and a fair value of US$238 million, tracking notes classified as AFS with a notional value of US$5 million and a fair value of US$2 million, and loans with a notional value of US$56 million and fair value and carrying value of nil. These notes were originally received in exchange for our non-bank sponsored asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) in January 2009, upon the ratification of the Montreal Accord restructuring;
US$151 million notional value of CDOs consisting of trust preferred securities (TruPs) collateral, which are Tier I Innovative Capital Instruments issued by U.S. regional banks and insurers. These securities are classified as FVO securities and had a fair value of US$124 million;
US$68 million notional value of CDO trading securities with collateral consisting of high-yield corporate debt portfolios with a fair value of US$65 million; and
US$35 million notional value of an asset-backed security (ABS) classified as a loan, with fair value of US$33 million and carrying value of US$32 million.

Our significant positions in the Written credit derivatives, liquidity and credit facilities section within Other, as at April 30, 2014, include:

US$275 million notional value of written credit derivatives with a fair value of US$34 million, on inflation-linked notes, and CDO tranches with collateral consisting of non-U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities and TruPs; and
US$108 million of undrawn Margin Funding Facility related to the Montreal Accord restructuring.

Unmatched
The underlying in our unmatched position is a reference portfolio of corporate debt.

Credit protection purchased from financial guarantors and other counterparties
The following table presents the notional amounts and fair values of credit protection purchased from financial guarantors and other counterparties by counterparty credit quality, based on external credit ratings (Standard & Poor's (S&P) and/or Moody's Investors Service (Moody's)), and the underlying referenced assets. Excluded from the table below are certain performing loans and tranched securities positions in our continuing businesses, with a total notional amount of approximately US$3 million, which are partly secured by direct guarantees from financial guarantors or by bonds guaranteed by financial guarantors.

In cases where more than one credit rating agency provides ratings and those ratings differ, we use the lowest rating.

The unrated other counterparty is a Canadian conduit. The conduit is in compliance with collateral posting arrangements and has posted collateral exceeding current market exposure. The fair value of the collateral as at April 30, 2014 was US$273 million relative to US$10 million of net exposure.

During the six months ended April 30, 2013, we recognized a US$150 million charge (US$110 million after-tax) in respect of the full settlement of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding brought by the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. challenging the reduction to zero of our unfunded commitment on a variable funding note. In 2008, we recognized a US$841 million gain on the variable funding note.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other includes the six functional groups - Technology and Operations, Corporate Development, Finance, Treasury, Administration, and Risk Management - that support CIBC's SBUs. The expenses of these functional groups are generally allocated to the business lines within the SBUs. Corporate and Other also includes our International banking operations comprising mainly CIBC FirstCaribbean, strategic investments in the CIBC Mellon joint ventures and The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited, and other income statement and balance sheet items not directly attributable to the business lines.

Assets
As at April 30, 2014, total assets were down by $904 million from October 31, 2013.

Cash and deposits with banks increased by $4.3 billion or 68%, mostly due to higher treasury deposit placements.

Securities decreased by $4.8 billion or 7%, primarily due to a decrease in AFS securities, partially offset by an increase in trading securities. AFS securities decreased primarily due to lower Canadian government securities and public corporate debt, partially offset by an increase in U.S. Treasury and agencies securities. Trading securities increased primarily due to an increase in corporate equities, partially offset by a decrease in Canadian government securities.

Securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements decreased by $1.4 billion or 5%, primarily due to treasury investment management activities.

Net loans and acceptances increased by $2.3 billion or 1%. Business and government loans and acceptances were up $3.6 billion, largely due to an increase in our domestic lending portfolio. Residential mortgages were up $1.6 billion, primarily due to growth in CIBC-branded mortgages, partially offset by attrition in the exited FirstLine mortgage broker business. Personal loans were up $303 million, due to volume growth. These increases were partially offset by credit card loans, which were down $3.1 billion, primarily due to the Aeroplan transactions with Aimia and TD.

Derivative instruments decreased by $601 million or 3%, largely driven by the decrease in interest rate derivatives valuation, partially offset by an increase in foreign exchange derivatives valuation.

Other assets decreased by $729 million or 5%, primarily due to the goodwill impairment relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean and a decrease in collateral pledged for derivatives, partially offset by the assets acquired as a result of the acquisition of Atlantic Trust.

Liabilities
As at April 30, 2014, total liabilities were down by $1.2 billion from October 31, 2013.

Deposits decreased by $1.1 billion, primarily due to lower outstanding secured borrowings, partially offset by retail volume growth. Further details on the composition of deposits are provided in Note 8 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Obligations related to securities lent or sold short or under repurchase agreements increased by $1.6 billion or 8%, primarily due to client-driven activities.

Derivative instruments decreased by $978 million or 5%, largely driven by a decrease in interest rate derivatives valuation, partially offset by an increase in foreign exchange derivatives valuation.

Other liabilities decreased by $630 million or 3%, mainly due to lower acceptances.

Equity
As at April 30, 2014, equity increased by $250 million or 1% from October 31, 2013, primarily due to a net increase in retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). These were partially offset by the redemption of our preferred shares and repurchase and cancellation of common shares under the normal course issuer bid, as explained in the "Significant capital management activity" section below.

Capital resources

We actively manage our capital to maintain a strong and efficient capital base, to maximize risk-adjusted returns to shareholders, and to meet regulatory requirements. For additional details on capital resources, see pages 29 to 36 of the 2013 Annual Report.

Regulatory capital requirements under Basel III
Our regulatory capital requirements are determined in accordance with guidelines issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) which are based on the risk-based capital standards developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS).

OSFI mandated all institutions to have established a target CET1 ratio of 7%, comprised of the 2019 all-in minimum ratio plus a conservation buffer effective the first quarter of 2013. For the Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, the all-in targets are 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively, effective the first quarter of 2014. "All-in" is defined by OSFI as capital calculated to include all of the regulatory adjustments that will be required by 2019, but retaining the phase-out rules for non-qualifying capital instruments. Certain deductions from CET1 capital are phased in at 20% per year from 2014. Amounts not yet deducted from capital under OSFI's transitional rules are risk weighted, creating a difference between RWAs on a transitional and all-in basis.

A comparison of the BCBS transitional capital ratio requirements and the OSFI all-in target capital ratio requirements is as follows.

To view "Transitional basis (BCBS)" and "All-in basis (OSFI)" chart, please click http://files.newswire.ca/256/CIBC1.pdf

CET1 capital includes common shares, retained earnings and AOCI (excluding AOCI relating to cash flow hedges), less regulatory adjustments for items such as goodwill and other intangible assets, deferred tax assets, assets related to defined benefit pension plans as reported on our consolidated balance sheet, and certain investments. Additional Tier 1 capital primarily includes preferred shares and innovative Tier 1 notes, and Tier 2 capital consists primarily of subordinated debentures, subject to phase-out rules for capital instruments that are non-qualifying.

OSFI has released its guidance on domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs) and the associated capital surcharge. CIBC is considered to be a D-SIB in Canada along with the Bank of Montreal, the Bank of Nova Scotia, the National Bank of Canada, the Royal Bank of Canada, and TD. D-SIBs will be subject to a 1% CET1 surcharge commencing January 1, 2016.

Basel leverage ratio requirement
The Basel III capital reforms included a non-risk-based capital metric, the leverage ratio, to supplement risk-based capital requirements. On January 12, 2014, the BCBS issued the full text of its leverage ratio framework.

The leverage ratio is defined as the Capital Measure (Tier 1 capital) divided by the Exposure Measure. The Exposure Measure includes the sum of:

(i)	On-balance sheet assets;
(ii)	Adjustments for securities financing transaction exposures with a limited form of netting available if certain conditions are met;
(iii)	Derivative exposures as specified under the rules; and
(iv)	Other off-balance sheet exposures, such as credit commitments and direct credit substitutes, converted into credit exposure equivalents using Basel Standardized Approach credit conversion factors.

Items deducted from Tier 1 capital will be excluded from the Exposure Measure.

The BCBS requires banks to disclose their leverage ratio beginning in 2015. The document states that the BCBS will continue to test whether a minimum requirement of 3% for the leverage ratio is appropriate. Any final adjustments to the rule will be made by 2017, for implementation on January 1, 2018.

OSFI has indicated that it will issue a new leverage guideline later this year. The guideline will be effective in January 2015 and will replace the current assets-to-capital multiple (ACM) test with the Basel III leverage ratio test. Federally regulated deposit-taking institutions will be expected to have Basel III leverage ratios in excess of 3%.

Continuous enhancement to risk-based capital requirements
Last year the BCBS published a number of proposals for changes to the existing risk-based capital requirements (see page 30 of the 2013 Annual Report), and continues to do so with the objective of clarifying and increasing the capital requirements for certain business activities. In addition to the leverage ratio document discussed above, since the start of the fiscal year, the BCBS has published an updated proposal: "Revisions to the securitisation framework - consultative document", and finalized three standards for implementation in 2017 as discussed below.

"Capital requirements for banks' equity investments in funds - final standard" was published in December 2013. The final revised framework applies to banks' investments in the equity of funds that are held in the banking book. The implementation date is January 1, 2017. Banks should look-through to the underlying assets of the fund in order to more properly reflect the risk of those investments.

In addition to the above, the BCBS has also recently finalized two other standards which will be implemented on January 1, 2017. "The standardized approach for measuring counterparty credit risk exposures" provides a non-modelled approach to the treatment of derivatives-related transactions, which will replace both the existing Current Exposure and Standardized Methods.

"Capital requirements for bank exposures to central counterparties" sets out the rules for calculating regulatory capital for bank exposures to central counterparties, and will replace interim requirements published in July 2012.

CET1 ratio (All-in basis)
CET1 ratio increased 0.5% from January 31, 2014. During the quarter, CET1 capital after regulatory adjustments increased. While the earnings were impacted by the write-down of the CIBC FirstCaribbean goodwill, its impact on the CET1 capital was neutral. RWAs decreased by $4.6 billion from January 31, 2014 as a result of refinements to the treatment of our over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, reductions in our AFS portfolios, and positive impacts from foreign exchange and interest rates.

CET1 ratio increased 0.6% from October 31, 2013. CET1 capital increased due to internal capital generation (net income less dividends and shares repurchased for cancellation) and a reduction in regulatory deductions such as the pension related deduction. While the earnings were impacted by the write-down of CIBC FirstCaribbean goodwill, its impact on the capital was neutral. The ratio also benefited from a decline in RWAs during the same period. RWAs decreased $0.8 billion during the six months ended April 30, 2014. RWAs decreased due to the sale of the Aeroplan portfolio, portfolio quality improvements, and increasing portfolio insurance, refinements to the treatment of our OTC derivatives, and reductions in our AFS portfolios. These factors were largely offset by foreign exchange, commencement of the phase-in of the credit valuation charge in the first quarter of 2014, refinements to the calculation of RWA in our retail lending portfolio, and business growth.

ACM
The ACM decreased 0.3 times from January 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in capital.

The ACM increased 0.1 times from October 31, 2013. Capital for ACM purposes decreased due to an additional 10% reduction in the inclusion of non-qualifying capital instruments, while gross assets for ACM purposes increased.

Significant capital management activity

Normal course issuer bid
On September 5, 2013, we announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange had accepted the notice of CIBC's intention to commence a new normal course issuer bid. Purchases under this bid commenced on September 18, 2013 and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) CIBC purchasing up to a maximum of 8 million common shares, (ii) CIBC providing a notice of termination, or (iii) September 8, 2014.

During the quarter ended April 30, 2014, we purchased and cancelled an additional 914,600 common shares under this bid at an average price of $92.89 for a total amount of $85 million. For the six months ended April 30, 2014, we purchased and cancelled 2,329,700 common shares under this bid at an average price of $91.05 for a total amount of $212 million. Since the inception of this bid, we have purchased and cancelled 3,253,600 common shares at an average price of $88.87 for a total amount of $289 million.

Dividends
On May 28, 2014, the Board of Directors approved an increase in our quarterly common share dividend from $0.98 per share to $1.00 per share from the quarter ending July 31, 2014.

Our quarterly common share dividend was increased from $0.96 per share to $0.98 per share from the quarter ended April 30, 2014.

Preferred shares
On April 30, 2014, we redeemed all of our 13 million Non-cumulative Rate Reset Class A Series 35 Preferred Shares with a par value and redemption price of $25.00 per share for cash.

Off-balance sheet arrangements
We enter into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of our business. We consolidate all of our sponsored trusts that securitize our own assets with the exception of the commercial mortgage securitization trust.

We sponsor a single-seller conduit and several multi-seller conduits (collectively, the conduits) in Canada.

As at April 30, 2014, the underlying collateral for various asset types in our non-consolidated sponsored multi-seller conduits amounted to $2.1 billion (October 31, 2013: $2.1 billion). The estimated weighted-average life of these assets was 1 year (October 31, 2013: 1.1 years). Our holdings of commercial paper issued by our non-consolidated sponsored multi-seller conduits that offer commercial paper to external investors were $6 million (October 31, 2013: $9 million). Our committed backstop liquidity facilities to these conduits were $3.6 billion (October 31, 2013: $3.2 billion). We also provided credit facilities of $30 million (October 31, 2013: $30 million) to these conduits as at April 30, 2014.

We participated in a syndicated facility for a 3-year commitment of $575 million to our single-seller conduit that provides funding to franchisees of a major Canadian retailer. Our portion of the commitment was $105 million (October 31, 2013: $110 million). As at April 30, 2014, we funded $95 million (October 31, 2013: $81 million) through the issuance of bankers' acceptances.

Management of risk

Our approach to management of risk, and our governance structure, have not changed significantly from that described on pages 38 to 72 of the 2013 Annual Report. Certain disclosures in this section have been shaded as they are required under IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments - Disclosures" and form an integral part of the interim consolidated financial statements.

Risk overview
Most of CIBC's business activities involve, to a varying degree, a variety of risks, and effective management of risks is fundamental to CIBC's success. Our objective is to balance the level of risk with our business objectives for growth and profitability in order to achieve consistent and sustainable performance while remaining within our risk appetite.

Our risk appetite defines tolerance levels for various risks. This is the foundation for our risk management culture, and our risk management framework. Our risk management framework includes:

The Board-approved risk appetite statement;
Risk policies, procedures and limits to align activities with our risk appetite;
Regular risk reports to identify and communicate risk levels;
An independent control framework to identify and test compliance with key controls;
Stress testing to consider potential impacts of changes in the business environment on capital, liquidity and earnings;
Proactive consideration of risk mitigation options in order to optimize results; and
Oversight through our risk-focused committees and governance structure.

Managing risk is a shared responsibility at CIBC. Business units and risk management professionals work in collaboration to ensure that business strategies and activities are consistent with our risk appetite. CIBC's approach to enterprise-wide risk management aligns with the three lines of defence model:

(1)	CIBC's lines of business are responsible for all risks associated with their activities - this is the first line of defence;
(2)	As the second line of defence, CIBC's risk management, compliance and other control functions are responsible for independent oversight of the enterprise-wide risks inherent in CIBC's business activities; and
(3)	As the third line of defence, CIBC's Internal Audit function provides an independent assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of risk management controls, processes and systems.

We continuously monitor our risk profile against our defined risk appetite and related limits, taking actions as needed to maintain an appropriate balance of risk and return. Monitoring our risk profile includes forward-looking analysis of sensitivity to local and global market factors, economic conditions, and political and regulatory environments that influence our overall risk profile.

Regular and transparent risk reporting and discussion at senior management committees facilitate communication of risks and discussion of risk management strategies across the organization.

Additional information on our risk governance, risk management process and risk culture are provided on pages 39 to 43 of the 2013 Annual Report.

Risk management structure
The Risk Management group, led by our Chief Risk Officer, is responsible for setting risk strategies and for providing independent oversight of the businesses. Risk Management works to identify, assess, mitigate, monitor and control the risks associated with business activities and strategies, and is responsible for providing an effective challenge to the lines of businesses.

There were changes made during the year to the Risk Management structure. The current structure is illustrated below.

To view the "Risk Management Structure" chart, please click http://files.newswire.ca/256/CIBC2.pdf

The Risk Management group performs several important activities including:

Developing CIBC's risk appetite and associated management control metrics;
Setting risk strategy to manage risks in alignment with our risk appetite and business strategy;
Establishing and communicating risk policies, procedures and limits to control risks in alignment with risk strategy;
Measuring, monitoring and reporting on risk levels;
Identifying and assessing emerging and potential strategic risks; and
Deciding on transactions that fall outside of risk limits delegated to business lines.

The ten key groups within Risk Management, independent of the originating businesses, contribute to our management of risk:

Global Regulatory Affairs and Risk Control - This team provides expertise in risk, controls and regulatory reporting, and oversees regulatory interactions across CIBC to ensure coordinated communication and the effective development of and adherence to action plans.
Capital Markets Risk Management - This unit provides independent oversight of the measurement, monitoring and control of market risks (both trading and non-trading), and trading credit risk across CIBC's portfolios.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Pension Risk Management - This unit has primary global accountability for providing an effective challenge and sound risk oversight to the treasury/liquidity management function within CIBC.
Global Credit Risk Management - This unit is responsible for the adjudication and oversight of credit risks associated with our commercial and wholesale lending activities globally, management of the risks in our investment portfolios, as well as management of special loan portfolios.
Wealth Risk Management - This unit is responsible for the independent governance and oversight of the wealth management business/activities in CIBC globally.
Retail Lending Risk Management - This unit primarily oversees the management of credit and fraud risk in the retail lines of credit and loans, residential mortgage, and small business loan portfolios, including the optimization of credit portfolio quality.
Card Products Risk Management - This unit oversees the management of credit risk in the card products portfolio, including the optimization of credit portfolio quality.
Global Operational Risk Management - This team has global accountability for the identification, measurement and monitoring of all operational risks, including locations, people, insurance, technology, subsidiaries/affiliates and vendors.
Enterprise Risk Management - This unit is responsible for enterprise-wide analysis, including enterprise-wide stress testing and reporting, risk systems and models, as well as economic capital methodologies.
Special Initiatives - This unit is responsible for assisting in the design, delivery and implementation of new initiatives aligned with Risk Management's strategic plan, while enhancing internal client partnerships and efficiency.

Top and emerging risks
We monitor and review top and emerging risks that may affect our future results, and take action to mitigate potential risks if required. We perform an in-depth analysis, which can include stress testing our exposures relative to the risks, and provide updates and related developments to the Board on a regular basis. The main top and emerging risks that we consider with potential negative implications, that are material for CIBC, have not changed significantly from those described on pages 43 to 44 of the 2013 Annual Report.

Risks arising from business activities
The chart below shows our business activities and related risk measures based upon regulatory RWAs and economic capital as at April 30, 2014:

To view the chart, please click http://files.newswire.ca/256/CIBC3.pdf

Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss due to a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its obligations in accordance with contractual terms.

Credit risk arises mainly from our Retail and Business Banking and our Wholesale lending businesses. Other sources of credit risk include our trading activities, including our OTC derivatives, debt securities, and our repo-style transaction activity. In addition to losses on the default of a borrower or counterparty, unrealized gains or losses may occur due to changes in the credit spread of the counterparty, which could impact the carrying or fair value of our asset.

Forbearance policy
We employ forbearance techniques to manage customer relationships and to minimize credit losses due to default, foreclosure or repossession. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to modify a loan for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties and we may grant a concession in the form of below-market rates or terms that would not otherwise be considered, for the purpose of maximizing recovery of our exposure to the loan. In circumstances where the concession is considered below market, the modification is reported as a troubled debt restructuring (TDR). TDRs are subject to our normal quarterly impairment review which considers, amongst other factors, covenants and/or payment delinquencies. An appropriate level of loan loss provision by portfolio segment is then established.

In retail lending, forbearance techniques include interest capitalization, amortization amendments and debt consolidations. We have a set of eligibility criteria which allow our Client Account Management team to determine suitable remediation strategies and propose products based on each borrower's situation. These solutions are intended to increase the ability of borrowers to service their obligation by providing often more favourable conditions than those originally provided.

The solutions available to corporate and commercial clients vary based on the individual nature of the client's situation and are undertaken selectively where it has been determined that the client has or is likely to have repayment difficulties servicing its obligations. Covenants often reveal changes in the client's financial situation before there is a change in payment behaviour and typically allow for a right to reprice or accelerate payments. Solutions may be temporary in nature or may involve other special management options.

During the quarter and six months ended April 30, 2014, $48 million and $68 million, respectively ($16 million and $19 million for the quarter and six months ended April 30, 2013, respectively) of loans have undergone TDR.

Real estate secured personal lending
Real estate secured personal lending comprises residential mortgages and personal loans and lines secured by residential property (HELOC). This portfolio is low risk as we have a first charge on the majority of the properties, and second lien on only a small portion of the portfolio. We use the same lending criteria in the adjudication of both first lien and second lien loans.

The following table provides details on our Canadian and international residential mortgage and HELOC portfolios. Our international portfolio comprises CIBC FirstCaribbean.

LTV ratios for residential mortgages are calculated based on weighted average. The house price estimates for October 31, 2013 and April 30, 2014 are based on Teranet - National Bank National Composite House Price Index (Teranet) as of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Teranet is an independent estimate of the rate of change of Canadian home prices. The sale prices are based on the property records of public land registries. The monthly indices cover eleven Canadian metropolitan areas which are combined to form a national composite index.

The tables below summarize the remaining amortization profile of our total Canadian and international residential mortgages. The first table provides the remaining amortization periods based on the minimum contractual payment amounts. The second table provides the remaining amortization periods based upon current customer payment amounts, which incorporate payments larger than the minimum contractual amount and/or higher frequency of payments.

We have two types of condominium exposures in Canada: mortgages and developer loans. Both are primarily concentrated in the Toronto and Vancouver areas. As at April 30, 2014, our Canadian condominium mortgages were $16.7 billion (October 31, 2013: $16.6 billion) of which 73% (October 31, 2013: 74%) were insured. Our drawn developer loans were $791 million (October 31, 2013: $920 million) or 2% of our business and government portfolio and our related undrawn exposure was $1.8 billion (October 31, 2013: $2.1 billion). The condominium developer exposure is diversified across 73 projects.

We stress test our mortgage and HELOC portfolio to determine the potential impact of different economic events. Our stress tests can use variables such as GDP, unemployment, bankruptcy rates, debt service ratios and delinquency trends, which are reflective of potential ranges of housing price declines, to model potential outcomes for a given set of circumstances. The stress testing involves variables that could behave differently in certain situations. Our main tests use economic variables that are more severe than in the early 1980s and early 1990s when Canada experienced economic downturns. Our results show that in an economic downturn, our strong capital position should be sufficient to absorb mortgage and HELOC losses.

Counterparty credit exposure
We have counterparty credit exposure that arises from our interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, commodity, and credit derivatives trading, hedging, and portfolio management activities, as explained in Note 12 of the 2013 annual consolidated financial statements.

Gross impaired loans
As at April 30, 2014, gross impaired loans were down $171 million from April 30, 2013 and down $66 million from January 31, 2014.

The decrease in the gross impaired loans as compared to the same period last year was primarily due to a decrease in the personal lending portfolio as a result of a revision of estimated loss parameters implemented in the third quarter of 2013, and decreases in the publishing, printing and broadcasting, business services, and real estate and construction sectors in business and government loans.

The decrease in the gross impaired loans as compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to decreases in residential mortgages in consumer loans, and the business services sector in business and government loans.

After experiencing an increase during the 2009 recession, GIL stabilized in 2011 and showed some improvements in 2012, 2013 and the first half of 2014. Almost half of the consumer GIL in this quarter were from Canada, in which insured mortgages accounted for the majority, and where losses are expected to be minimal. The remaining consumer GIL were in CIBC FirstCaribbean. GIL in business and government loans were down from both the prior quarter and the same quarter last year due to improvements in the credit quality of the overall business and government portfolio, as well as write-offs of U.S. real estate finance accounts originated before 2009 and write-offs of impaired accounts across other various sectors.

Allowance for Impairment
The allowance for impairment was $673 million, up $23 million or 4% from the same quarter last year.

The individually assessed allowance for business and government loans decreased by $21 million or 6%, mainly relating to decreases in the publishing, printing and broadcasting, and real estate and construction sectors, partially offset by an increase in the transportation sector in the U.S. leveraged finance portfolio. The decrease in the real estate and construction sector was primarily in the U.S. The decrease in the publishing, printing and broadcasting sector was attributable to the write-off of an account in the fourth quarter of 2013. The individually assessed allowance for consumer loans was comparable with the same quarter last year. The collectively assessed allowance for business and government loans was down $14 million due to a revision of estimated loss parameters on unsecured lending portfolios implemented in the third quarter of 2013.

The collectively assessed allowance for consumer loans was up $58 million or 24%, due to an increase in the residential mortgage portfolio of CIBC FirstCaribbean, reflecting revised expectations on the extent and timing of the anticipated economic recovery in the Caribbean region, partially offset by a decrease resulting from the revision of estimated loss parameters on unsecured lending portfolios noted above.

The allowance for impairment was up $98 million or 17% from the prior quarter.

The individually assessed allowance for business and government loans increased by $23 million or 7%, largely due to an increase in the transportation sector in the U.S. leveraged finance portfolio. The individually assessed allowance for consumer loans was comparable with the prior quarter.

The collectively assessed allowance for business and government loans was comparable with the prior quarter. The collectively assessed allowance for consumer loans was up $78 million or 36%, mainly due to an increase in the residential mortgage portfolio of CIBC FirstCaribbean, as noted above.

Exposure to certain countries and regions
Several European countries, especially Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, have continued to experience credit concerns. The following tables provide our exposure to these and other European countries, both within and outside the Eurozone. Except as noted in our indirect exposures section below, we do not have any other exposure through our special purpose entities (SPEs) to the countries included in the tables below.

We do not have material exposure to the countries in the Middle East and North Africa that have either experienced or may be at risk of unrest. These countries include Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen.

Direct exposures to certain countries and regions
Our direct exposures presented in the tables below comprise (A) funded - on-balance sheet loans (stated at amortized cost net of allowances, if any), deposits with banks (stated at amortized cost net of allowances, if any) and securities (stated at fair value); (B) unfunded - unutilized credit commitments, letters of credit, and guarantees (stated at notional amount net of allowances, if any) and sold credit default swap (CDS) contracts where we do not benefit from subordination (stated at notional amount less fair value); and (C) derivative MTM receivables (stated at fair value) and repo-style transactions (stated at fair value).

Of our total direct exposures to Europe, approximately 93% (2013: 96%) is to entities in countries with Aaa/AAA ratings from at least one of Moody's or S&P.

Includes $193 million of exposure (notional value of $221 million and fair value of $28 million) on a CDS sold on a bond
issue of a U.K. corporate entity, which is guaranteed by a financial guarantor. We currently hold the CDS sold as part of
our structured credit run-off business. A payout on the CDS sold would be triggered by the bankruptcy of the reference
entity, or a failure of the entity to make a principal or interest payment as it is due; as well as failure of the financial
guarantor to meet its obligation under the guarantee.

Market risk

Market risk arises from positions in currencies, securities and derivatives held in our trading portfolios, and from our retail banking business, investment portfolios, and other non-trading activities. Market risk is defined as the potential for financial loss from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including interest and foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, and equity and commodity prices.

Trading activities
During the current quarter, we implemented a full revaluation method to compute value at risk (VaR), stressed VaR and the Incremental Risk Charge (IRC) using the historical simulation approach, replacing the parametric approach. In aggregate, this model change resulted in a slight increase in the risk measures. At an individual component level, VaR remained at the same level, stressed VaR decreased slightly and IRC increased.

The following three tables show VaR, stressed VaR and IRC for our trading activities based on risk type under an internal models-based approach.

Trading revenue (TEB) comprises both trading net interest income and non-interest income and excludes underwriting fees and commissions. Trading revenue (TEB) for the purposes of these tables excludes positions described in the "Structured credit run-off business" section of the MD&A and certain other exited portfolios.

Average total VaR for the three months ended April 30, 2014 was down 23% from the last quarter, driven mainly by a decrease in our equity and debt specific risks, partially offset by an increase in interest rate, credit spread, foreign exchange and commodities risks.

Average total stressed VaR for the three months ended April 30, 2014 was up 23% from the last quarter. During the current stressed VaR period from July 1, 2008 to June 29, 2009, the market exhibited not only increased volatility in interest rates but also increased volatility in equity prices combined with a reduction in the level of interest rates, and an increase in credit spreads.

Average incremental risk charge for the three months ended April 30, 2014 was down 8% from the last quarter, mainly due to a decrease in the investment grade trading inventory.

Trading revenue
The trading revenue (TEB) versus VaR graph below shows the current quarter and the three previous quarters' actual daily trading revenue (TEB) against the previous day close of business VaR measures. Trading revenue distribution on which VaR is calculated is not on a TEB basis.

During the quarter, trading revenue (TEB)was positive for 100% of the days. During the quarter, the largest gain of $17.9 million occurred on April 22, 2014. It was attributable to the normal course of business within our capital markets group, notably in the equity derivatives business. Average daily trading revenue (TEB) was $4.5 million during the quarter and the average daily TEB was $2.0 million.

Non-trading activities

Interest rate risk
Non-trading interest rate risk consists primarily of risk inherent in asset/liability management activities and the activities of domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Interest rate risk results from differences in the maturities or repricing dates of assets and liabilities, both on- and off-balance sheet, as well as from embedded optionality in retail products. This optionality arises predominantly from the prepayment exposures of mortgage products, mortgage commitments and some GIC products with early redemption features; this optionality is measured consistent with our actual experience. A variety of cash instruments and derivatives, principally interest rate swaps, futures and options, are used to manage and control these risks.

The following table shows the potential impact over the next 12 months, adjusted for structural assumptions (excluding shareholders' equity), estimated prepayments and early withdrawals, of an immediate 100 and 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates. In addition, we have a floor in place in the downward shock to accommodate for the current low interest rate environment (i.e. the analysis uses the floor to stop interest rates from going into a negative position in the lower rate scenarios).

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of having insufficient cash resources to meet financial obligations as they fall due, in their full amount and stipulated currencies, without raising funds at adverse rates or selling assets on a forced basis.

Our liquidity risk management strategies seek to maintain sufficient liquid financial resources and diversified funding sources to continually fund our balance sheet and contingent obligations under both normal and stressed market environments.

Liquid and encumbered assets
Our policy is to hold a pool of high quality unencumbered liquid assets that will be immediately available to meet outflows determined under the stress scenario. Liquid assets are cash, short-term bank deposits, high quality marketable securities and other assets that can be readily pledged at central banks and in repo markets or converted into cash in a timely fashion. Encumbered assets comprise assets pledged as collateral and other assets that we consider restricted for legal or other reasons. Unencumbered assets comprise assets that are readily available in the normal course of business to secure funding or meet collateral needs and other assets that are not subject to any restrictions on their use to secure funding or as collateral.

Liquid assets net of encumbrances constitute our unencumbered pool of liquid assets and are summarized in the following table:

Our unencumbered liquid assets increased by $4.9 billion or 5% from October 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in the encumbrances related to NHA mortgage-backed securities, and higher interest-bearing deposits with banks, partially offset by a decrease in the unencumbered securities.

In addition to the above, we have access to the Bank of Canada Emergency Lending Assistance (ELA) program through the pledging of non-mortgage assets. We do not include ELA borrowing capacity as a source of available liquidity when evaluating surplus liquidity.

Includes $52 million (October 31, 2013: $70 million) of interest-bearing deposits with contractual maturities greater than 30 days.

Funding
We manage liquidity to meet both short- and long-term cash requirements. Reliance on wholesale funding is maintained at prudent levels and within approved limits, consistent with our desired liquidity profile.

Our funding strategy includes access to funding through retail deposits and wholesale funding and deposits. Personal deposits are a significant source of funding and totalled $128.1 billion as at April 30, 2014 (October 31, 2013: $125.0 billion).

Our funding and liquidity levels remained stable and sound over the six months ended April 30, 2014 and we do not anticipate any events, commitments or demands that will materially impact our liquidity risk position.

Impact on collateral if there is a downgrade of CIBC's credit rating
We are required to deliver collateral to certain derivative counterparties in the event of a downgrade to our current credit risk rating. The collateral requirement is based on MTM exposure, collateral valuations, and collateral arrangement thresholds as applicable. The following table presents the additional collateral requirements (cumulative) for rating downgrades:

Liquidity Coverage Ratio Disclosure Standards
In January 2014, the BCBS published the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) Disclosure Standards. The document outlines the minimum standards applicable for public disclosure of the LCR by all internationally active banks. Banks will be required to disclose quantitative information about the LCR using a common template, supplemented by qualitative discussion, as appropriate, on key elements of the liquidity metric. These standards are effective for the first reporting period after January 1, 2015. OSFI has indicated that additional implementation guidance, applicable to Canadian banks, will be provided in due course. We are currently updating processes and systems to meet the stipulated timeline and requirements.

Contractual obligations

Contractual obligations give rise to commitments of future payments affecting our short- and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. These obligations include financial liabilities, credit and liquidity commitments, and other contractual obligations.

Assets and liabilities
The following table provides the contractual maturity profile of our on-balance sheet assets and liabilities at their carrying values. CIBC models the behaviour of both assets and liabilities on a net cash flow basis by applying recommended regulatory stress assumptions, supplemented by business experience, against contractual maturities and contingent exposures to construct its behavioural balance sheet. The behavioural balance sheet is a key component of CIBC's liquidity risk management framework and is the basis by which CIBC manages its liquidity risk profile.

of bank deposits of which $3.0 billion (October 31, 2013: $2.0 billion) are in Canada and $4.2 billion (October 31, 2013: $3.6 billion) in other countries.

Our net asset position remained unchanged relative to October 31, 2013. The changes in the contractual maturity profile were primarily due to the natural migration of maturities and also reflect the impact of our regular business activities.

Obligations that are legally binding agreements whereby we agree to purchase products or services with specific minimum or
baseline quantities defined at fixed, minimum or variable prices over a specified period of time are defined as purchase obligations.
Purchase obligations are included through to the termination date specified in the respective agreements, even if the contract is
renewable. Many of the purchase agreements for goods and services include clauses that would allow us to cancel the agreement
prior to expiration of the contract within a specific notice period. However, the amount above includes our obligations without regard
to such termination clauses (unless actual notice of our intention to terminate the agreement has been communicated to the
counterparty). The table excludes purchases of debt and equity instruments that settle within standard market timeframes.

(2)

Includes estimated minimum pension contributions, and expected benefit payments for post-retirement medical and dental plans,
the long-term disability plan, and related medical and dental benefits for disabled employees. Subject to change as contribution
decisions are affected by various factors, such as market performance, regulatory requirements, and management's ability to
change funding policy. Also, funding requirements after 2014 are excluded due to the significant variability in the assumptions
required to project the timing of cash flows.

Other risks
We also have policies and processes to measure, monitor and control other risks, including strategic, insurance, operational, technology, reputation and legal, regulatory, and environmental risks. These risks and related policies and processes have not changed significantly from those described on pages 70 to 72 of the 2013 Annual Report.

Accounting and control matters

Critical accounting policies and estimates
A summary of significant accounting policies is presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the 2013 Annual Report. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as CIBC's consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013, except as described in Note 1 to the interim consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting policies require us to make judgments and estimates, some of which may relate to matters that are uncertain. The key management judgments and estimates remain substantially unchanged from those described on pages 73 to 77 of the 2013 Annual Report, except for asset impairment, as well as the valuation of financial instruments, securitizations and structured entities and post-employment and other long-term benefit plan assumptions, which have been impacted by the adoption of new and amended accounting standards as described below.

Valuation of financial instruments
Debt and equity trading securities, trading business and government loans, obligations related to securities sold short, derivative contracts, AFS securities and FVO financial instruments are carried at fair value. FVO financial instruments include certain debt securities, structured deposits and business and government deposits. Retail mortgage interest rate commitments are also designated as FVO financial instruments.

Effective November 1, 2013, CIBC adopted IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement". Adoption of this standard did not result in changes to how we measure fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at the measurement date in an orderly arm's length transaction between market participants in the principal market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. the exit price). Fair value measurements are categorized into levels within a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the valuation inputs (Level 1, 2 or 3). We have an established and well-documented process for determining fair value. Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for the same instrument, where available (Level 1). If active market prices or quotes are not available for an instrument, fair value is then based on valuation models using only significant inputs that are observable (Level 2) or one of more significant non-observable inputs (Level 3). Estimating fair value requires the application of judgment. The type and level of judgment required is largely dependent on the amount of observable market information available. For instruments valued using internally developed models that use significant non-observable market inputs and are therefore classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy, the judgment used to estimate fair value is more significant than when estimating the fair value of instruments classified within Levels 1 and 2. To ensure that valuations are appropriate, a number of policies and controls are put in place. Independent validation of fair value is performed at least on a monthly basis. Valuation inputs are verified to external sources such as exchange quotes, broker quotes or other management-approved independent pricing sources.

The following table presents amounts, in each category of financial instruments, which are fair valued using valuation techniques based on one or more significant non-observable market inputs (Level 3), for the structured credit run-off business and total consolidated CIBC. For further details of the valuation of and sensitivity associated with Level 3 financial assets and liabilities, see Note 2 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Fair value adjustments

We apply judgment in establishing valuation adjustments that take into account various factors that may have an impact on the valuation of financial instruments that are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the bid-offer spread, illiquidity due to lack of market depth and other market risks, parameter uncertainty, model risk, credit risk, and future administration costs.

The establishment of fair value adjustments and the determination of the amount of write-downs involve estimates that are based on accounting processes and judgments by management. We evaluate the adequacy of the fair value adjustments and the amount of write-downs on an ongoing basis.

Allowance for credit losses
We establish and maintain an allowance for credit losses that is considered the best estimate of probable credit-related losses existing in our portfolio of on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments, giving due regard to current conditions.

The allowance for credit losses consists of individual and collective components.

Individual allowances
The majority of our business and government loan portfolios are assessed on an individual loan basis. Individual allowances are established when impaired loans are identified within the individually assessed portfolios. A loan is classified as impaired when we are of the opinion that there is no longer a reasonable assurance of the full and timely collection of principal and interest. The individual allowance is the amount required to reduce the carrying value of an impaired loan to its estimated realizable amount. This is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the effective interest rate inherent in the loan.

Individual allowances are not established for portfolios that are collectively assessed, including most retail portfolios.

Collective allowances

Consumer and certain small business allowances
Residential mortgages, credit card loans, personal loans, and certain small business loan portfolios consist of large numbers of homogeneous balances of relatively small amounts, for which we take a portfolio approach to establish the collective allowance. As it is not practical to review each individual loan, we utilize a formula basis, by reference to historical ratios of write-offs to current accounts and balances in arrears. For residential mortgages, personal loans and certain small business loans, this historical loss experience enables CIBC to determine appropriate probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) parameters, which are used in the calculation of the portion of the collective allowance for current accounts. The PDs determined by this process that correspond to the risk levels in our retail portfolios are disclosed on page 48 of the 2013 Annual Report. For credit card loans, non-current residential mortgages, personal loans and certain small business loans, the historical loss experience enables CIBC to calculate flows to write-off in our roll-rate models that determine the collective allowance that pertain to these loans.

We also consider estimates of the time periods over which losses that are present would be identified and a provision taken, our view of current economic and portfolio trends, evidence of credit quality improvements or deterioration, and events such as the 2013 Alberta floods. On a regular basis, the parameters that affect the allowance calculation are updated, based on our experience and the economic environment.

Business and government allowances
For groups of individually assessed loans for which no objective evidence of impairment has been identified on an individual basis, a collective allowance is provided for losses which we estimate are inherent in the portfolio at the reporting date, but not yet specifically identified from an individual assessment of the loan.

The methodology for determining the appropriate level of the collective allowance incorporates a number of factors, including the size of the portfolios, expected loss rates, and relative risk profiles. We also consider estimates of the time periods over which losses that are present would be identified and a provision taken, our view of current economic and portfolio trends, and evidence of credit quality improvements or deterioration. On a regular basis, the parameters that affect the collective allowance calculation are updated, based on our experience and the economic environment. Expected loss rates for business loan portfolios are based on the risk rating of each credit facility and on the PD factors associated with each risk rating, as well as estimates of LGD. The PD factors reflect our historical loss experience and are supplemented by data derived from defaults in the public debt markets. Our risk-rating method and categories are disclosed on page 47 of the 2013 Annual Report. Historical loss experience is adjusted based on observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions. LGD estimates are based on our experience over past years.

For further details on the allowance for credit losses, see Note 5 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Securitizations and structured entities

Securitization of our own assets
Effective November 1, 2013, with retrospective application to November 1, 2012, CIBC adopted IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" which replaced IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements" and SIC 12 "Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities". Under IFRS 10, judgment is exercised in determining whether an investor controls an investee including assessing whether the investor has: (i) power over the investee; (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

We sponsor several structured entities that purchase and securitize our own assets including the Cards II Trust, Broadway Trust and Crisp Trust, which we continue to consolidate under IFRS 10.

We also securitize our own mortgage assets through a government-sponsored securitization program. We sell these securitized assets to a government-sponsored securitization vehicle that we do not consolidate, as well as to other third parties. IAS 39 "Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement" provides guidance on when to derecognize financial assets. A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or when we have transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the asset such that:

We have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset; or
We have neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but have transferred control of the asset.

We have determined that our securitization activities related to residential mortgages and cards receivables are accounted for as secured borrowing transactions because we have not met the aforementioned criteria.

In addition, we sell and derecognize commercial mortgages through a pass-through arrangement with a trust that securitizes these mortgages into ownership certificates held by various external investors. We continue to perform special servicing of the mortgages in exchange for a market-based fee and do not consolidate the trust. We also sell certain U.S. commercial mortgages to third-parties which qualify for derecognition because we have transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the mortgages and have no continuous involvement after the transfer.

Securitization of third-party assets
We also sponsor several structured entities that purchase pools of third-party assets. We consider a number of factors in determining whether CIBC controls these structured entities. We monitor the extent to which we support these structured entities, through direct investment in the debt issued by the structured entities and through the provision of liquidity protection to the other debtholders, to assess whether we should consolidate these entities.

Where we consider that CIBC should consolidate a structured entity, IFRS 10 requires that we reconsider this assessment if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control described above, for example, when any of the parties gains or loses power to direct relevant activities of the investee, or when there is a change in the parties' exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.

Specifically, in relation to our multi-seller conduits, we reconsider our consolidation assessment whenever our level of interest in the ABCP issued by the conduits changes significantly, or in the rare event that the liquidity facility we provide to the conduits is drawn or amended.

A significant increase in our holdings of the outstanding commercial paper by the conduits would become more likely in a scenario in which the market for bank-sponsored ABCP suffered a significant deterioration such that the conduits were unable to roll their ABCP.

For additional information on the securitizations of our own assets and third-party assets, see the "Off-balance sheet arrangements" section and Note 7 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Asset impairment

Goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets
As at April 30, 2014, we had goodwill of $1,438 million (October 31, 2013: $1,733 million) and other intangible assets with an indefinite life of $138 million (October 31, 2013: $136 million). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested, at least annually, for impairment by comparing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill has been allocated, with the carrying amount of the CGU including goodwill. Any deficiency is recognized as impairment of goodwill. The recoverable amount of a CGU is defined as the higher of its estimated fair value less cost to sell or value in use. Goodwill is also required to be tested for impairment whenever there are indicators that it may be impaired.

Acquired intangible assets are separately recognized if the benefits of the intangible assets are obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged. Determining the useful lives of intangible assets requires judgment and fact-based analysis. Intangibles with an indefinite life are not amortized but are assessed for impairment by comparing the recoverable amount to the carrying amount.

Long-lived assets and other identifiable intangibles with a definite life are amortized over their estimated useful lives. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is higher than the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of its estimated fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In calculating the recoverable amount we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.

We performed our annual impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2013 and did not record any impairment at that time. During the second quarter of 2014, we identified indicators that goodwill relating to the CIBC FirstCaribbean CGU may be impaired. We performed an impairment test and determined that the carrying amount of the CIBC FirstCaribbean CGU exceeded its recoverable amount. As a result, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $420 million during the three months ended April 30, 2014, which reduced the carrying amount of the goodwill relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean to $344 million as at April 30, 2014.

The recoverable amount of our CIBC FirstCaribbean CGU is based on a value in use calculation that was estimated using a five year cash flow projection and an estimate of the capital required to be maintained in the region to support ongoing operations. The five year cash flow projection is consistent with CIBC FirstCaribbean's three year internal plan that was previously reviewed by its Board of Directors, adjusted in the current quarter to reflect management's belief that the economic recovery expected in the Caribbean region will occur over a longer period of time than originally forecasted and that estimated realizable values of underlying collateral for non-performing loans will be lower than previously expected. A terminal growth rate of 2.5% (2.5% as at August 1, 2013) was applied to the years after the five year forecast. All of the forecast cash flows were discounted at an after-tax rate of 13% (13.62% pre-tax) which we believe to be a risk-adjusted interest rate appropriate to CIBC FirstCaribbean (we used an identical after-tax rate of 13% as at August 1, 2013). The determination of a discount rate and a terminal growth rate require the exercise of judgment. The discount rate was determined based on the following primary factors: i) the risk-free rate, ii) an equity risk premium, iii) beta adjustment to the equity risk premium based on a review of betas of comparable publicly traded financial institutions in the region, and iv) a country risk premium. The terminal growth rate was based on the forecast inflation rates and management's expectations of real growth.

Estimation of the recoverable amount is an area of significant judgment. Reductions in the estimated recoverable amount could arise from various factors, such as, reductions in forecasted cash flows, an increase in the assumed level of required capital, and any adverse changes to the discount rate or the terminal growth rate either in isolation or in any combination thereof. We have estimated that a 10% decrease in each of the terminal year's and subsequent years' forecasted cash flows would result in a reduction in the estimated recoverable amount of the CIBC FirstCaribbean CGU by approximately $115 million. We have also estimated that a 50 basis point increase in the after-tax discount rate would result in a reduction in the estimated recoverable amount of the CIBC FirstCaribbean CGU by approximately $65 million. These sensitivities are indicative only and should be considered with caution, as the effect of the variation in each assumption on the estimated recoverable amount is calculated in isolation without changing any other assumptions. In practice, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may magnify or counteract the disclosed sensitivities. For additional details, see Note 6 to our interim consolidated financial statements.

Economic conditions in the Caribbean region remain challenging and we continue to monitor our investment. Reductions in the estimated recoverable amount of our CIBC FirstCaribbean CGU could result in additional goodwill impairment charges in future periods.

Income taxes
We are subject to income tax laws in the various jurisdictions where we operate, and the tax laws in those jurisdictions are potentially subject to different interpretations by us and the relevant taxation authority. We use judgment in the estimation of income taxes and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. As a result, management judgment is applied in the interpretation of the relevant tax laws and in estimating the provision for current and deferred income taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is determined for each temporary difference based on the tax rates that are expected to be in effect in the period that the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Where the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, no deferred tax amount is recognized.

As at April 30, 2014, we had a deferred tax asset of $536 million (October 31, 2013: $526 million) and a deferred tax liability of $30 million (October 31, 2013: $33 million). We are required to assess whether it is probable that our deferred income tax asset will be realized prior to its expiration and, based on all the available evidence, determine if any portion of our deferred income tax asset should not be recognized. The factors used to assess the probability of realization are our past experience of income and capital gains, forecast of future net income before taxes, available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred income tax asset, and the remaining expiration period of tax loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, we believe, based on all the available evidence, it is probable that the remaining deferred income tax asset will be realized.

Income tax accounting impacts all our reporting segments. For further details of our income taxes, see Note 11 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Contingent liabilities and provision
In the ordinary course of its business, CIBC is a party to a number of legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations, in which claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against CIBC and its subsidiaries. Legal provisions are established if, in the opinion of management, it is both probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to resolve the matter, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the reliable estimate of probable loss involves a range of potential outcomes within which a specific amount within the range appears to be a better estimate, that amount is accrued. If no specific amount within the range of potential outcomes appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the mid-point in the range is accrued. In some instances, however, it is not possible either to determine whether an obligation is probable or to reliably estimate the amount of loss, in which case no accrual can be made.

While there is inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of legal proceedings, based on current knowledge and in consultation with legal counsel, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of these matters, individually or in aggregate, may be material to our operating results for a particular reporting period. We regularly assess the adequacy of CIBC's litigation accruals and make the necessary adjustments to incorporate new information as it becomes available.

The provisions disclosed in Note 23 to the 2013 annual consolidated financial statements included all of CIBC's accruals for legal matters as at that date, including amounts related to the significant legal proceedings described in that note and to other legal matters.

CIBC considers losses to be reasonably possible when they are neither probable nor remote. It is reasonably possible that CIBC may incur losses in addition to the amounts recorded when the loss accrued is the mid-point of a range of reasonably possible losses, or the potential loss pertains to a matter in which an unfavourable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable.

CIBC believes the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of the amounts accrued, for its significant legal proceedings, where it is possible to make such an estimate, is from nil to approximately $240 million as at April 30, 2014. This estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available information for those significant proceedings in which CIBC is involved, taking into account CIBC's best estimate of such losses for those cases for which an estimate can be made. CIBC's estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings and the existence of multiple defendants in many of such proceedings whose share of the liability has yet to be determined. The range does not include potential punitive damages and interest. The matters underlying the estimated range as at April 30, 2014 consist of the significant legal matters disclosed in Note 23 to the 2013 annual consolidated financial statements as updated below. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate. For certain matters, CIBC does not believe that an estimate can currently be made as many of them are in preliminary stages and certain matters have no specific amount claimed. Consequently, these matters are not included in the range.

The following developments related to our significant legal matters occurred since the issuance of our 2013 annual consolidated financial statements:

Marcotte Visa Class Action: The appeal was heard by the Supreme Court of Canada in February 2014. The court reserved its decision.
Green Secondary Market Class Action: In February 2014 the Ontario Court of Appeal released its decision overturning the lower court and allowing the matter to proceed as a certified class action. CIBC and the individual defendants have sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Brown Overtime Class Action: The plaintiffs' appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal was heard in May 2014. The court reserved its decision.
Watson Credit Card Class Action: On March 27, 2014 the court released its decision granting class certification. The plaintiffs and defendants have filed Notices of Appeal.

Other than the items described above, there are no significant developments in the matters identified in Note 23 to our 2013 annual consolidated financial statements, and no significant new matters have arisen since the issuance of our 2013 annual consolidated financial statements.

Post-employment and other long-term benefit plan assumptions
We sponsor a number of benefit plans to eligible employees, including registered and supplemental pension plans, and post-retirement medical and dental plans (other post-employment benefit plans). We also continue to sponsor a long-term disability income replacement plan and associated medical and dental benefits (collectively, other long-term benefit plans). The long-term disability plan was closed to new claims effective June 1, 2004.

Effective November 1, 2013, with retrospective application to November 1, 2011, CIBC adopted amendments to IAS 19 "Employee Benefits". The amendments require the following: (i) recognition of actuarial gains and losses in OCI in the period in which they arise; (ii) recognition of interest income on plan assets in net income using the same rate as that used to discount the defined benefit obligation; and (iii) recognition of all past service costs (gains) in net income in the period in which they arise. See Note 1 to the interim consolidated financial statements for further details on the impact of the adoption of the amendments to IAS 19 on prior periods.

The calculation of net defined benefit plan expense and obligations depends on various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates, health-care cost trend rates, turnover of employees, projected salary increases, retirement age, and mortality rates. The actuarial assumptions used for determining the net defined benefit expense for a fiscal year are set at the beginning of the annual reporting period, are reviewed in accordance with accepted actuarial practice and are approved by management.

The discount rate assumption used in measuring the net defined benefit expense and defined benefit obligations reflects market yields, as of the measurement date, on high quality debt instruments with a currency and term to maturity that match the currency and expected timing of benefit payments. Our discount rate is estimated by developing a yield curve based on high quality corporate bonds. While there is a deep market of high quality corporate bonds denominated in Canadian dollars with short and medium terms to maturity, there is not a deep market in bonds with terms to maturity that match the timing of all the expected benefit payments for all of our Canadian plans. As a result, for our Canadian pension, other post-employment and other long-term benefit plans, we estimate the yields of high quality corporate bonds with longer term maturities by extrapolating current yields on bonds with short- and medium-term durations along the yield curve. Judgment is required in constructing the yield curve, and as a result, different methodologies applied in constructing the yield curve can give rise to different discount rates.

As a result of adopting the amendments to IAS 19, commencing in the first quarter of 2014, with retrospective application for fiscal 2013 and 2012, we remeasure our Canadian post-employment benefit plans on a quarterly basis for changes in the discount rate and for actual assets returns, with the actuarial gains and losses recognized in OCI (see Note 1 to the interim consolidated financial statements for further details).

For further details of our annual pension and other post-employment expense and obligations, see Note 19 to the 2013 annual consolidated financial statements and Note 1 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Regulatory developments

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was enacted in the U.S. in July 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act contains many broad reforms impacting the financial services industry, including, among other things, increased consumer protection, regulation of the OTC derivative markets, heightened capital, liquidity and prudential standards, and restrictions on proprietary trading by banks. The Dodd-Frank Act will affect every financial institution in the U.S. and many financial institutions that operate outside the U.S. As many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking that U.S. regulators have not finalized, the full impact on CIBC is difficult to anticipate until all the regulations are finalized and released. CIBC continually monitors developments to prepare for rulemakings that have the potential to impact our operations in the U.S. and elsewhere.

In December 2012, CIBC registered as a swap dealer with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and adopted processes and procedures necessary to comply with newly-promulgated U.S. regulations in trading swaps with U.S. persons. The CFTC has issued final rules on most areas relating to swaps, including cross-border guidance that impacts CIBC's swap trading with non-U.S. counterparties. The CFTC has not yet issued final rules on clearing, capital and margin, and the CFTC has not issued a determination of the extent to which it will rely on substituted compliance with Canadian swap trading regulations. CIBC will continue to monitor and prepare for developments by the CFTC in this area. Additionally, the SEC is expected to implement parallel reforms applying to the securities-based swaps markets. While these far-reaching reforms have increased our cost of regulatory compliance and may restrict our ability to continue to engage in certain types of trading activity, we do not expect them to have a significant impact on our results.

On February 18, 2014, the Federal Reserve Board released final enhanced prudential standards for large U.S. bank holding companies and foreign banking organizations (FBOs) with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more. The new enhanced prudential standards include six primary requirements: risk-based capital and leverage requirements; liquidity requirements; single counterparty exposure limits; internal risk management standards; debt-to-equity limits; and annual stress testing. The new rules also require FBOs to maintain liquidity buffers in their U.S. branches and agencies and, if certain asset thresholds are met, to create a U.S. intermediate holding company which will also be subject to enhanced prudential standards. CIBC believes the new rules will not have a material impact on our operations.

The Dodd-Frank Act also mandates the so-called Volcker Rule, which restricts certain proprietary trading and private equity fund activities of banking entities operating in the U.S. In December 2013, five U.S. regulatory agencies jointly published final regulations implementing the Volcker rule. The final regulations and the accompanying materials are complex and will require CIBC to implement new controls and to develop new systems to ensure compliance with the rule's reporting obligations and restrictions. Banking entities must engage in good-faith efforts that will result in conformance with the rule by July 21, 2015. CIBC is actively assessing the impact of the Volcker rule on our operations and developing a conformance plan for full implementation. The new regulations also contain various provisions that enable banks to seek extensions in certain circumstances and CIBC may seek such extensions where necessary or appropriate.

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) is U.S. legislation, the intent of which is to discourage tax evasion by U.S. taxpayers who have placed assets in financial accounts outside of the U.S. - either directly or indirectly through foreign entities such as trusts and corporations.

Under the final FATCA regulations, non-U.S. financial institutions will be required to identify and report accounts owned or controlled by U.S. taxpayers, including citizens of the U.S. worldwide (U.S. Accounts). In addition, identification and reporting will also be required on accounts of financial institutions that do not comply with FATCA regulations. On February 5, 2014, the Government of Canada announced the signing of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the U.S., to facilitate FATCA information reporting by Canadian financial institutions. Under proposed legislation to implement the provisions of the IGA, Canadian financial institutions must report information on certain U.S. Accounts directly to the Canada Revenue Agency. Other countries in which CIBC operates have signed, or are in the process of negotiating and signing, IGAs with the U.S. CIBC will meet all FATCA obligations, in accordance with local law.

The provisions of FATCA and the related Canadian legislation come into effect on July 1, 2014.

Principles for Effective Risk Data Aggregation and Risk Reporting

In January 2013, the BCBS published "Principles for Effective Risk Data Aggregation and Risk Reporting". The Principles outline BCBS's expectations to enhance risk data governance oversight and to improve risk data aggregation and reporting practices, thereby facilitating timely, consistent, and accurate decision making. It is expected that we will be subject to greater reporting scrutiny and may incur increased operating costs as a result of the Principles. We have begun an enterprise-wide Risk Data Aggregation initiative to be compliant with the Principles.

Global systemically important banks public disclosure requirements
The BCBS paper "Global systemically important banks: updated assessment methodology and the higher loss absorbency requirement" dated July 3, 2013 describes the annual assessment methodology and the 12 indicators used to identify global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). The document also provides annual public disclosure requirements applicable to large globally-active banks.

In March 2014, OSFI published an Advisory on the implementation of the G-SIB public disclosure requirements in Canada. Federally-regulated banks which have not been identified as G-SIBs, and which have Basel III leverage ratio exposure measures greater than the equivalent of €200 billion at year-end, are required to publicly disclose the 12 indicators (in Canadian equivalent values) annually. Such banks must publicly disclose both year-end 2014 and comparative 2013 data by the time the first quarterly financial report of 2015 is released.

Controls and procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures
CIBC's management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of CIBC's disclosure controls and procedures as at April 30, 2014 (as defined in the rules of the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators) and has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in CIBC's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter and six months ended April 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

The quarter ended January 31, 2014 had an increase in non-controlling interests of $40 million relating to certain mutual funds that we
launched and consolidated. These funds were deconsolidated in the current quarter due to a reduction in our ownership, resulting in a
decrease in non-controlling interests of $56 million.

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements
(Unaudited)

The interim consolidated financial statements of CIBC are prepared in accordance with Section 308(4) of the Bank Act, which states that, except as otherwise specified by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), the financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). There are no accounting requirements of OSFI that are exceptions to IFRS.

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as CIBC's consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013, except as noted.

All amounts in these interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. These interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 28, 2014.

1. Changes in accounting policies

Effective November 1, 2013, CIBC adopted several new and amended accounting pronouncements as described below.

(a) Retrospective application of new and amended standards
The amendments to IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" and IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" were adopted retrospectively as described below.

IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" - In June 2011, the IASB published an amended version of IAS 19. The amendments require the following: (i) recognition of actuarial gains and losses in OCI in the period in which they arise; (ii) recognition of interest income on plan assets in net income using the same rate as that used to discount the defined benefit obligation; and (iii) recognition of all past service costs (gains) in net income in the period in which they arise. We adopted the amendments to IAS 19 on a retrospective basis effective November 1, 2011.

Consistent accounting policies are applied for the purposes of applying the equity-method for our investments in equity-associates and joint ventures, and therefore the retrospective application of the amendments also impacted the accounting for certain of our equity-accounted investments in associates.

IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements", issued in May 2011, replaces the consolidation guidance in IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements" and Standards Interpretation Committee (SIC) - 12 "Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities". IFRS 10 introduces a single consolidation model for all entities based on control, irrespective of the nature of the investee. Under IFRS 10, an investor controls an investee when an investor has: (i) power over the investee; (ii) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns. We adopted IFRS 10 on a retrospective basis effective November 1, 2012.

The adoption of IFRS 10 required us to deconsolidate CIBC Capital Trust from our consolidated financial statements. Although we have the ability to direct the relevant activities of CIBC Capital Trust, we do not have exposure to variable returns from our involvement in CIBC Capital Trust as we pass our credit risk into the Trust by issuing senior deposit notes to CIBC Capital Trust.

The deconsolidation of CIBC Capital Trust resulted in us removing Capital Trust securities issued by CIBC Capital Trust from our consolidated balance sheet effective November 1, 2012, and instead recognizing the senior deposit notes issued by CIBC to CIBC Capital Trust in Business and government deposits. We recognized an increase in shareholders' equity as at November 1, 2012 and October 31, 2013 due to the reversal of losses previously recognized on Capital Trust securities repurchased by CIBC.

The impact on the consolidated balance sheets as a result of the retrospective application of the amendments to IAS 19 and IFRS 10 was as follows:

(b) Other changes in accounting standards

The following standards and amendments to standards were also adopted effective November 1, 2013.

IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements", issued in May 2011, requires entities which had previously accounted for joint ventures using proportionate consolidation to collapse the proportionately consolidated net asset value (including any allocation of goodwill) into a single investment balance at the beginning of the earliest period presented using the equity method. As we presently apply the equity method for our joint arrangements under IFRS, the adoption of IFRS 11 did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities", issued in May 2011, requires enhanced disclosures about both consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities in which an entity has involvement. The objective of IFRS 12 is to provide information to enable users to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, its interest in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities, and the effects of those interests on our consolidated financial statements. IFRS 12 did not impact our consolidated financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be provided in our annual consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the issuance of IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, the IASB issued amended and renamed IAS 27 "Separate Financial Statements" and IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures". The amended IAS 27 removes its existing consolidation model and requirements related to consolidated financial statements as they are now addressed in IFRS 10. The amended IAS 27 prescribes the accounting for investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates in separate financial statements. Amended IAS 28 outlines how to apply the equity method to investments in associates and joint ventures. The adoption of amended IAS 27 and IAS 28 did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement", issued in May 2011, replaces the fair value measurement guidance contained in individual IFRSs with a single standard for measuring fair value. IFRS 13 provides expanded disclosure about fair value measurements for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis and for items not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed. Adoption of this standard did not result in changes to how we measure fair value. However, additional disclosures related to the type and range of inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value on the balance sheet that are considered to be in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy have been included in Note 2 of our interim consolidated financial statements. In addition, we will be required to provide additional disclosures related to the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on our balance sheet, such as loans and deposits, including how the disclosed fair values fit into the fair value hierarchy in our annual consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 7 "Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities", issued in December 2011, contains amendments to IFRS 7 and requires new disclosure for financial assets and liabilities that are offset in the balance sheet or are subject to master netting arrangements or similar arrangements. The amendments did not impact our consolidated financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be provided in our annual consolidated financial statements.

2. Fair value measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, between market participants in an orderly transaction in the principal market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. the exit price). The determination of fair value requires judgment and is based on market information, where available and appropriate. Fair value measurements are categorized into three levels within a fair value hierarchy (Level 1, 2 or 3) based on the valuation inputs used in measuring the fair value, as outlined below.

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities we can access at the measurement date. Bid prices, ask prices or prices within the bid and ask, which are the most representative of the fair value, are used as appropriate to measure fair value. Fair value is best evidenced by an independent quoted market price for the same instrument in an active market. An active market is one where transactions are occurring with sufficient frequency and volume to provide quoted prices on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are inactive or observable market quotes for similar instruments, or use of valuation technique where all significant inputs are observable. Inactive markets may be characterized by a significant decline in the volume and level of observed trading activity or through large or erratic bid/offer spreads. In instances where traded markets do not exist or are not considered sufficiently active, we measure fair value using valuation models.
Level 3 - Non-observable or indicative prices or use of valuation technique where one or more significant inputs are non-observable.

For a significant portion of our financial instruments, quoted market prices are not available because of the lack of traded markets, and even where such markets do exist, they may not be considered sufficiently active to be used as a final determinant of fair value. When quoted market prices in active markets are not available, we would consider using valuation models. The valuation model and technique we select maximizes the use of observable market inputs to the extent possible and appropriate in order to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction would take place at the measurement date. In an inactive market, we consider all reasonably available information including any available pricing for similar instruments, recent arm's length market transactions, any relevant observable market inputs, indicative dealer or broker quotations, and our own internal model-based estimates.

Valuation adjustments are an integral component of our fair valuation process. We apply judgment in establishing valuation adjustments that take into account various factors that may have an impact on the valuation. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the bid-offer spread, illiquidity due to lack of market depth, parameter uncertainty and other market risk, model risk and credit risk. For derivatives, we have credit valuation adjustments (CVA) that factor in counterparty, as well as our own credit risk, and a valuation adjustment for administration costs.

Generally, the unit of account for a financial instrument is the individual instrument, and valuation adjustments are applied at an individual instrument level, consistent with that unit of account. In cases where we manage a group of financial assets and liabilities that consist of substantially similar and offsetting risk exposures, the valuation adjustments for financial assets and liabilities are measured on the basis of the net open risks.

We apply judgment in determining the most appropriate inputs and the weighting we ascribe to each such input as well as in our selection of valuation methodologies. Regardless of the valuation technique we use, we incorporate assumptions that we believe market participants would make for credit, funding, and liquidity considerations. When the fair value of a financial instrument at inception is determined using a valuation technique that incorporates significant non-observable market inputs, no inception profit or loss (the difference between the determined fair value and the transaction price) is recognized at the time the asset or liability is first recorded. Any gains or losses at inception are deferred and recognized only in future periods over the term of the instruments or when market quotes or data become observable.

We have an ongoing process for evaluating and enhancing our valuation techniques and models. Where enhancements are made, they are applied prospectively, so that fair values reported in prior periods are not recalculated on the new basis. Valuation models used, including analytics for the construction of yield curves and volatility surfaces, are vetted and approved, consistent with our model risk policy.

To ensure that valuations are appropriate, we have established internal guidance on fair value measurement, which is reviewed periodically in recognition of the dynamic nature of markets and the constantly evolving pricing practices in the market. A number of policies and controls are put in place to ensure the internal guidance on fair value measurement is being applied consistently and appropriately. Fair value of publicly issued securities and derivatives is independently validated at least once a month. Valuations are verified to external sources such as exchange quotes, broker quotes or other management-approved independent pricing sources. Key model inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities, are independently verified. The results from the independent price validation and any valuation adjustments are reviewed by the Independent Price Verification Committee on a monthly basis. This includes, but is not limited to, reviewing fair value adjustments and methodologies, independent price verification results, limits and valuation uncertainty. Fair value of privately issued securities is reviewed on a quarterly basis.

Due to the judgment used in applying a wide variety of acceptable valuation techniques and models, as well as the use of estimates inherent in this process, estimates of fair value for the same or similar assets may differ among financial institutions. The calculation of fair value is based on market conditions as at each balance sheet date, and may not be reflective of ultimate realizable value.

Details on fair value methods and assumptions used for determining fair value of our financial instruments are disclosed in pages 105 to 107 of the 2013 Annual Report.

The table below presents the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair values of financial instruments, that are carried at fair value on the interim consolidated balance sheet, are categorized:

Comprises FVO deposits of $2,072 million (October 31, 2013: $1,764 million), FVO secured borrowings of nil (October 31, 2013: $352 million), bifurcated embedded derivatives of $598 million (October 31, 2013: $348 million), and FVO other liabilities of $6 million (October 31, 2013: $2 million). Changes in our own credit risk had an insignificant impact on the determination of the fair value of our FVO deposits.

Transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the reporting period. Transfers between levels can occur as a result of additional or new information regarding valuation inputs and changes in their observability. During the quarter, we transferred $182 million of trading securities and $1,797 million of securities sold short from Level 1 to Level 2 due to reduced observability used to value these securities, and $6 million of embedded derivatives and $5 million of derivative liabilities were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 due to increased observability of one or more significant non-observable inputs used to value these instruments (October 31, 2013: $6 million of certain bifurcated embedded derivatives and $1 million of derivative liabilities from Level 2 to Level 3).

For the quarter and six months ended April 30, 2014, a net loss of $11 million and a net gain of $42 million were recognized, respectively, in the interim consolidated statement of income on the financial instruments, for which fair value was estimated using valuation techniques requiring non-observable inputs (a net gain of $83 million and $130 million for the quarter and six months ended April 30, 2013, respectively).

The following table presents the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities in Level 3. These instruments are measured at fair value utilizing non-observable market inputs. We often hedge positions with offsetting positions that may be classified in a different level. As a result, the gains and losses for assets and liabilities in the Level 3 category presented in the table below do not reflect the effect of offsetting gains and losses on the related hedging instruments that are classified in Level 1 and Level 2.

Sensitivity of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities
The following section describes the significant non-observable inputs identified in the table above, the inter-relationships between those inputs and the sensitivity of fair value to changes in those inputs. We performed our Level 3 sensitivity analysis on an individual instrument basis, except for instruments managed within our structured credit run-off business for which we performed the sensitivity analysis on a portfolio basis to reflect the manner in which those financial instruments are managed.

Within our structured credit run-off business our primary sources of exposure, which are derived either through direct holdings or derivatives, are U.S. residential mortgage market contracts, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), corporate debt and other securities and loans. Structured credit positions classified as loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost and are excluded from this sensitivity analysis. The structured credit positions carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value are within trading securities, FVO securities, FVO structured note liability within deposits and derivatives. These fair values are generally derived from and are sensitive to non-observable inputs, including indicative broker quotes and internal models that utilize default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates and credit spreads. Indicative broker quotes are derived from proxy pricing in an inactive market or from the brokers' internal valuation models. These quotes are used to value our trading and FVO securities, FVO structured note liability and derivative positions. A significant increase in the indicative broker prices or quotes would result in an increase in the fair value of our Level 3 securities and note liability but a decrease in the fair value of our credit derivatives. The fair value of our credit derivatives referencing CLO assets are also impacted by other key non-observable inputs, including:

Prepayment rates - which are a measure of the future expected repayment of a loan by a borrower in advance of the scheduled due date. Prepayment rates are driven by consumer behaviour, economic conditions and other factors. A significant increase in prepayment rates of the underlying loan collateral of the referenced CLO assets would result in an increase in the fair value of the referenced CLO assets and a decrease in our Level 3 credit derivatives.
Recovery rates - which are an estimate of the amount that will be recovered following a default by a borrower. Recovery rates are expressed as one minus a loss given default rate. Hence, a significant increase in the recovery rate of the underlying defaulted loan collateral of the referenced CLO assets would result in an increase in the fair value of the referenced CLO assets and a decrease in the fair value of our Level 3 credit derivatives.
Credit spreads - which are the premium over a benchmark interest rate in the market to reflect a lower credit quality of a financial instrument and forms part of the discount rate used in a discounted cash flow model. A significant increase in the credit spread, which raises the discount rate applied to future cash flows of the referenced CLO assets, would result in a decrease in the fair value of referenced CLO assets and an increase in the fair value of our Level 3 credit derivatives.
Default rates or probabilities of default - which are the likelihood of a borrower's inability to repay its obligations as they become contractually due. A significant increase in the default rate of the underlying loan collateral of the referenced CLO assets up to a certain reasonably possible level would result in an increase in the fair value of the referenced CLO assets and a decrease in the fair value of our Level 3 credit derivatives. This impact is due to accelerated principal repayments from the defaulted underlying loan collateral and the subordination structure of the referenced CLO assets. In general, higher default rates have a positive correlation with credit spreads, but a negative correlation with recovery rates and prepayment rates, with the respective impact on fair value as described above.

The fair value of the credit derivatives is also sensitive to CVA for counterparty risk on both the credit derivative counterparty and on CIBC.

The impact of adjusting the indicative broker quotes, default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates and credit spreads noted above to reasonably possible alternatives would increase the net fair value by up to $53 million or decrease the net fair value by up to $52 million in respect of financial instruments carried at fair value in our structured credit run-off business. Changes in fair value of a Level 3 FVO structured note liability and the Level 3 positions that the note hedges have no impact on this sensitivity analysis because reasonably possible changes in fair value are expected to be largely offsetting.

The fair value of our investments in private companies is derived from applying applicable valuation multiples to financial indicators such as revenue or earnings. Earnings multiples or revenue multiples represent the ratios of earnings or revenue to enterprise value and are often used as non-observable inputs in the fair value measurement of our investments in private companies. We apply professional judgment in our selection of the multiple from comparable listed companies, which is then further adjusted for company-specific factors. The fair value of private companies is sensitive to changes in the multiple we apply. A significant increase in earnings multiples or revenue multiples generally results in an increase in the fair value of our investments in private companies and by adjusting the multiple within a reasonably possible range, the aggregate fair value for our investment in private companies would increase by $57 million or decrease by $23 million.

The fair value of our limited partnerships (LPs) is determined based on the net asset value (NAV) provided by the fund managers, adjusted as appropriate. The fair value of LPs is sensitive to changes in the NAV and by adjusting the NAV within a reasonably possible range, the aggregate fair value of our LPs would increase or decrease by $32 million.

The fair value of our asset-backed securities (ABS) is determined based on non-observable credit spreads and assumptions concerning the repayment of receivables underlying these ABS. The fair value of our ABS is sensitive to changes in the credit spreads and prepayment assumptions. A significant increase in credit spreads generally results in a decrease in the fair value of our Level 3 ABS and a significant increase in prepayment rates would result in a decrease in the fair value of our Level 3 ABS. By adjusting these non-observable inputs by reasonably alternative amounts, the fair value would increase or decrease by $5 million.

Our bifurcated embedded derivatives are recorded within deposits and other liabilities. The determination of the fair value of certain bifurcated embedded derivatives requires significant assumptions and judgment to be applied to both the inputs and the valuation techniques employed. These embedded derivatives are sensitive to long-dated market volatility and correlation inputs, which we consider to be non-observable. Market volatility is a measure of the anticipated future variability of a market price and is an important input for pricing options which are inherent in many of our embedded derivatives. A higher market volatility generally results in a higher option price, with all else held constant, due to the higher probability of obtaining a greater return from the option, and results in an increase in the fair value of our Level 3 embedded derivative liabilities. Correlation inputs are used to value those embedded derivatives where the payout is dependent upon more than one market price. For example, the payout of an equity basket option is based upon the performance of a basket of stocks, and the inter-relationships between the price movements of those stocks. A positive correlation implies that two inputs tend to change the fair value in the same direction, while a negative correlation implies that two inputs tend to change the fair value in the opposite direction. Changes in market correlation could result in an increase or a decrease in the fair value of our Level 3 embedded derivative liabilities. By adjusting the non-observable inputs by reasonably alternative amounts, the fair value of our embedded derivative liabilities would increase or decrease by $7 million.

3. Significant acquisition and dispositions

Aeroplan Agreements

On December 27, 2013, CIBC completed the transactions contemplated by the tri-party agreements with Aimia Canada Inc. (Aimia) and The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) that were announced on September 16, 2013.

CIBC sold to TD approximately 50% of its existing Aerogold VISA credit card portfolio, consisting primarily of credit card only customers, while CIBC retained the Aerogold VISA credit card accounts held by clients with broader banking relationships at CIBC.

CIBC also received upon closing, in aggregate, $200 million in upfront payments from TD and Aimia.

Under the terms of the agreements:

CIBC continues to have rights to market the Aeroplan program and originate new Aerogold cardholders through its CIBC branded channels.
The parties have agreed to certain provisions to compensate for the risk of cardholder migration from one party to another. There is potential for payments of up to $400 million by TD/Aimia or CIBC for net cardholder migration over a period of 5 years.
CIBC expects to receive annual commercial subsidy payments from TD of approximately $38 million per year in each of the three years after closing.
The CIBC and Aimia agreement includes an option for either party to terminate the agreement after the third year and provides for penalty payments due from CIBC to Aimia if holders of Aeroplan credit cards from CIBC's retained portfolio switch to other CIBC credit cards above certain thresholds.
CIBC is working with TD under an interim servicing agreement to effect a smooth transition of the cardholders moving to TD.

Acquisition of Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management
On December 31, 2013, CIBC completed the acquisition of Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management (Atlantic Trust) from its parent company, Invesco Ltd., for $224 million (US$210 million) plus working capital and other adjustments. Atlantic Trust provides integrated wealth management solutions for high-net-worth individuals, families, foundations and endowments in the United States.

The following summarizes the consideration transferred and the amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

Consideration transferred
The consideration transferred was as follows:

$ millions, as at December 31, 2013
Upfront cash payment	$	179
Contingent consideration, at fair value (deferred payment)		45
Working capital and other adjustments		12
Total consideration transferred	$	236

The deferred payment is based on acquired assets under management (AUM) at the measurement date of April 30, 2014. The estimated fair value of the deferred payment of $45 million (US$42 million) as at the acquisition date was included in the consideration transferred. The deferred payment was settled in May 2014 for $46 million (US $42 million).

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed
The fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows:

$ millions, as at December 31, 2013
Cash	$	47
AFS securities		4
Land, buildings and equipment		10
Other assets		30
Software and other intangible assets		91
Other liabilities		(30)
Net identifiable assets acquired		152
Goodwill arising on acquisition		84
Total consideration transferred	$	236

Intangible assets and goodwill
The acquired intangible assets include a customer relationship intangible asset of $89 million that arises from the acquired investment management contracts. The fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset was estimated using a discounted cash flow method based on estimated future cash flows arising from fees earned from the acquired AUM, which took into account expected net redemptions and market appreciation from existing clients, net of operating expenses and other cash outflows. The goodwill arising on acquisition of $84 million mainly comprised the value of expected synergies and the value of new business growth arising from the acquisition.

Acquisition-related costs
Acquisition-related costs of $5 million were included in Non-interest expenses.

As at April 30, 2014, the amortized cost of 123 AFS securities that are in a gross unrealized loss position (October 31, 2013: 148 securities) exceeded their fair value by $53 million (October 31, 2013: $66 million). The securities that have been in a gross unrealized loss position for more than a year include 16 AFS securities (October 31, 2013: 24 securities), with a gross unrealized loss of $13 million (October 31, 2013: $40 million). We have determined that these AFS securities were not impaired.

Reclassification of financial instruments

In October 2008, amendments made to IAS 39 "Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments - Disclosures" permitted certain trading financial assets to be reclassified to loans and receivables and AFS in rare circumstances. As a result of these amendments, we reclassified certain securities to loans and receivables and AFS with effect from July 1, 2008. During the quarter and six months ended April 30, 2014, we have not reclassified any securities.

The following tables show the carrying values, fair values, and income or loss impact of the assets reclassified:



				2014				2013

Impairment testing of goodwill and key assumptions
CIBC FirstCaribbean
For the impairment test performed as at August 1, 2013, we determined that the recoverable amount of the FirstCaribbean International Bank Limited (CIBC FirstCaribbean) CGU approximated its carrying value. As a result, no impairment was recognized. During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we revised our expectations concerning the extent and timing of the recovery of economic conditions in the Caribbean region. We identified this change in expectation as an indicator of impairment and therefore estimated the recoverable amount of CIBC FirstCaribbean as at April 30, 2014 to determine whether an impairment loss existed.

The recoverable amount of the CIBC FirstCaribbean CGU is based on a value in use calculation that was estimated using a five year cash flow projection and an estimate of the capital required to be maintained in the region to support ongoing operations. The five year cash flow projection is consistent with CIBC FirstCaribbean's three year internal plan that was previously reviewed by its Board of Directors adjusted in the current quarter to reflect management's belief that the economic recovery expected in the Caribbean region will occur over a longer period of time than originally forecasted and that estimated realizable values of underlying collateral for non-performing loans will be lower than previously expected. A terminal growth rate of 2.5% (2.5% as at August 1, 2013) was applied to the years after the five year forecast. All of the forecast cash flows were discounted at an after-tax rate of 13% (13.62% pre-tax) which we believe to be a risk-adjusted interest rate appropriate to CIBC FirstCaribbean (we used an identical after-tax rate of 13% as at August 1, 2013). The determination of a discount rate and a terminal growth rate require the exercise of judgment. The discount rate was determined based on the following primary factors: i) the risk-free rate, ii) an equity risk premium, iii) beta adjustment to the equity risk premium based on a review of betas of comparable publicly traded financial institutions in the region, and iv) a country risk premium. The terminal growth rate was based on the forecast inflation rates and management's expectations of real growth.

We determined that the carrying amount of the CIBC FirstCaribbean CGU exceeded our estimate of its recoverable amount as at April 30, 2014. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $420 million during the quarter in respect of goodwill held by Corporate and Other for CIBC FirstCaribbean.

7. Structured entities and derecognition of financial assets

Structured entities
Structured entities are entities that have been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements. Structured entities include special purpose entities, which are entities that are created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective.

We consolidate a structured entity when the substance of the relationship indicates that we control the structured entity.

Details of our consolidated and non-consolidated structured entities are provided on pages 118 and 119 of the 2013 Annual Report, except for CIBC Capital Trust, which is no longer consolidated effective November 1, 2013. See Note 1 to the interim consolidated financial statements for additional details.

We have two covered bond programs, structured and legislative. Covered bonds are full recourse on-balance sheet obligations that are also fully collateralized by assets over which bondholders enjoy a priority claim in the event of CIBC's insolvency. Under the structured program we transfer a pool of insured mortgages to the CIBC Covered Bond Guarantor Limited Partnership that warehouses these mortgages and serves as a guarantor to bondholders for payment of interest and principal. Under the legislative program, we transfer a pool of conventional uninsured mortgages to the CIBC Covered Bond (Legislative) Guarantor Limited Partnership that warehouses these mortgages and serves as a guarantor to bondholders for payment of interest and principal. For both covered bond programs, the assets are owned by the guarantor and not CIBC. As at April 30, 2014, our structured program had issued covered bond liabilities of $11.5 billion with a fair value of $11.6 billion (October 31, 2013: $11.7 billion with a fair value of $11.8 billion) and our legislative program had issued covered bond liabilities of $2.0 billion with a fair value of $2.0 billion (October 31, 2013: $2.0 billion with a fair value of $2.0 billion). The covered bond liabilities are supported by a contractually-determined portion of the assets transferred to the guarantor and certain contractual arrangements designed to protect the bondholders from adverse events, including foreign currency fluctuations.

With respect to Cards II Trust and Broadway Trust entities as at April 30, 2014, $4.3 billion of credit card receivable assets with a fair value of $4.4 billion (October 31, 2013: $4.6 billion with a fair value of $4.7 billion) supported associated funding liabilities of $4.3 billion with a fair value of $4.4 billion (October 31, 2013: $4.6 billion with a fair value of $4.7 billion).

As at April 30, 2014, there were $2.1 billion (October 31, 2013: $2.1 billion) of total assets in our non-consolidated multi-seller conduits. Our on-balance sheet amounts and maximum exposure to loss related to structured entities that are not consolidated are set out in the table below. The maximum exposure comprises the carrying value of unhedged investments, the notional amounts for liquidity and credit facilities, and the notional amounts less accumulated fair value losses for unhedged written credit derivatives on structured entity reference assets. The impact of CVA is not considered in the table below.

13. Contingent liabilities and provision

In the ordinary course of its business, CIBC is a party to a number of legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations, in which claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against CIBC and its subsidiaries. Legal provisions are established if, in the opinion of management, it is both probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to resolve the matter, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the reliable estimate of probable loss involves a range of potential outcomes within which a specific amount within the range appears to be a better estimate, that amount is accrued. If no specific amount within the range of potential outcomes appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the mid-point in the range is accrued. In some instances, however, it is not possible either to determine whether an obligation is probable or to reliably estimate the amount of loss, in which case no accrual can be made.

The following developments related to our significant legal matters occurred since the issuance of our 2013 annual consolidated financial statements:

Marcotte Visa Class Action: The appeal was heard by the Supreme Court of Canada in February 2014. The court reserved its decision.
Green Secondary Market Class Action: In February 2014 the Ontario Court of Appeal released its decision overturning the lower court and allowing the matter to proceed as a certified class action. CIBC and the individual defendants have sought leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Brown Overtime Class Action: The plaintiffs' appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal was heard in May 2014. The court reserved its decision.
Watson Credit Card Class Action: On March 27, 2014 the court released its decision granting class certification. The plaintiffs and defendants have filed Notices of Appeal.

14. Segmented information

CIBC has three strategic business units (SBUs): Retail and Business Banking, Wealth Management and Wholesale Banking. These SBUs are supported by Corporate and Other.

Retail and Business Banking provides clients across Canada with financial advice, banking, investment, and authorized insurance products and services through a strong team of advisors and more than 1,100 branches, as well as our ABMs, mobile sales force, telephone banking, online and mobile banking.

Wealth Management provides relationship-based advisory services and an extensive suite of leading investment solutions to meet the needs of institutional, retail and high net worth clients. Our asset management, retail brokerage and private wealth management businesses combine to create an integrated offer, delivered through more than 1,500 advisors across Canada and the U.S.

Wholesale Banking provides a wide range of credit, capital markets, investment banking and research products and services to government, institutional, corporate and retail clients in Canada and in key markets around the world.

Corporate and Other includes the six functional groups - Technology and Operations, Corporate Development, Finance, Treasury, Administration, and Risk Management - that support CIBC's SBUs. The expenses of these functional groups are generally allocated to the business lines within the SBUs. Corporate and Other also includes our International banking operations comprising mainly CIBC FirstCaribbean, strategic investments in the CIBC Mellon joint ventures and The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited, and other income statement and balance sheet items not directly attributable to the business lines.

Segment reporting changes

The following segment reporting changes were made in the first quarter of 2014. Prior period amounts were restated accordingly.

Sale of Aeroplan portfolio

On December 27, 2013, we sold approximately 50 percent of our Aerogold VISA portfolio, consisting primarily of credit card only customers, to TD. Accordingly, the revenue related to the sold credit card portfolio was moved from Personal Banking to the Other line of business within Retail and Business Banking.

Allocation of Treasury activities

Treasury-related transfer pricing continues to be charged or credited to each line of business within our SBUs. We changed our approach to allocating the residual financial impact of Treasury activities. Certain fees are charged directly to the lines of business, and the residual net revenue is retained in Corporate and Other.

Business unit allocations

Treasury activities impact the reported financial results of the SBUs. Each line of business within our SBUs is charged or credited with a market-based cost of funds on assets and liabilities, respectively, which impacts the revenue performance of the SBUs. Once the interest and liquidity risk inherent in our client-driven assets and liabilities is transfer priced into Treasury, it is managed within CIBC's risk framework and limits. The residual financial results associated with Treasury activities are reported in Corporate and Other. Capital is attributed to the SBUs in a manner that is intended to consistently measure and align economic costs with the underlying benefits and risks associated with SBU activities. Earnings on unattributed capital remain in Corporate and Other. We review our transfer pricing methodologies on an ongoing basis to ensure they reflect changing market environments and industry practices.

15. Financial instruments - disclosures

We have provided quantitative disclosures related to credit risk consistent with Basel guidelines in the "Credit risk" section of management's discussion and analysis in our 2013 Annual Report and interim report to shareholders, which require entities to disclose their exposures based on how they manage their business and risks. The table below sets out the categories of the on-balance sheet exposure to credit risk under different Basel approaches, displayed in both accounting categories and Basel portfolios.
