    TORONTO, Aug. 27 /CNW/ - CIBC (CM: TSX; NYSE) announced net income of
$71 million for the third quarter ended July 31, 2008, compared with net

    CIBC's Tier 1 capital ratio at July 31, 2008 was 9.8%.Results for the third quarter of 2008 were positively affected by the
following items:

    -   $30 million ($20 million after tax, or $0.05 per share) positive
        impact of changes in credit spreads on the mark-to-market of credit
        derivatives in CIBC's corporate loan hedging program;
    -   $28 million ($20 million after tax and minority interest, or $0.05
        per share) gain on the sale of shares in Visa Inc.;
    -   $27 million ($18 million after tax, or $0.05 per share) of interest
        income on income tax reassessments.

    Results for the third quarter of 2008 were negatively affected by the
following items:

    -   $885 million ($596 million after tax, or $1.56 per share) loss on
        structured credit run-off activities;
    -   $55 million ($33 million after tax, or $0.09 per share) of losses and
        interest expense related to the pending tax settlement of leveraged
        leases;
    -   $16 million ($11 million after tax, or $0.02 per share) of higher
        than normal severance expense.Net income for the third quarter of 2008 compared to a net loss of
$1,111 million for the prior quarter. Diluted EPS and cash diluted EPS for the
third quarter of 2008 compared to diluted loss per share of $3.00 and cash
diluted loss per share of $2.98(1), respectively, for the prior quarter, which
included items of note that aggregated to a negative impact on results of
$4.59 per share.
    "While the current environment continues to be challenging, CIBC's
franchise is solid. CIBC's capital position is strong and our core businesses
are well positioned for better performance and growth as market conditions
improve," says Gerald T. McCaughey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Our results this quarter were affected by the volatile, and generally
difficult, environment that persisted over much of the third quarter, as well
as by the impact of our ongoing run-off activities and the refocusing of our
core businesses, particularly in CIBC World Markets."
    The continued deterioration in securities with exposure to the U.S.
residential mortgage market and financial guarantor credit spreads required
CIBC to record further asset write-downs and counterparty credit valuation
adjustments in its structured credit run-off business.
    In addition, these market conditions had a negative impact on performance
in other areas, particularly within CIBC's wholesale and retail brokerage
operations.

    Update on business priorities

    CIBC's strategy is to deliver consistent and sustainable performance over
the long term. In support of that strategy, CIBC made progress during the
third quarter against its priorities of business strength, productivity and
balance sheet strength.

    Business strength

    CIBC Retail Markets reported net income of $572 million, down 4% from the
same quarter last year, primarily due to lower treasury revenue allocations
and higher loan losses, which more than offset better expense performance.
    Retail Markets revenue was $2,355 million, down 1% from the third quarter
of 2007. Strong volume growth in CIBC's product groups and higher revenue from
FirstCaribbean International Bank were offset by lower treasury revenue
allocations and lower retail brokerage trading volumes.
    Overall, CIBC's retail business remains well positioned. CIBC achieved
strong volume growth and has maintained market share in a highly competitive
environment. For the second consecutive quarter, CIBC had growth in unsecured
personal lending volumes, though CIBC is taking a measured approach to credit
given the current environment.
    Retail loan losses were $196 million for the third quarter, up
$29 million from the same quarter last year. Continued strong growth in Cards
balances, an increase in the provision relating to the expiry of previous
credit card securitizations, and higher cards loss rates partially offset by
lower personal lending loss rates were the primary drivers of higher loan
losses.During the quarter, CIBC Retail Markets continued to deliver on its
strategy to provide greater access for clients:

    -   Opened three new branches in Milton, Ontario, Calgary, Alberta and
        Smithers, B.C.;
    -   Expanded hours of operation with additional branches opening on
        Saturdays;
    -   Introduced Sunday banking hours at six more branches in the Greater
        Toronto Area and Vancouver;
    -   Added nearly 100 jobs at the Telephone Banking contact centre in
        Montreal and now have the capacity to make one million additional
        calls in French and English to clients each year.

    During the quarter, CIBC also announced several enhancements to its retail
product capabilities:

    -   To reward client loyalty, CIBC now offers Aeroplan miles for everyday
        banking on the CIBC Unlimited Chequing Account;
    -   Introduced free everyday banking for students with the new
        CIBC Advantage® for Students bank account;
    -   Clients also began receiving their new CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite
        card, CIBC's newest premium credit card, which provides increased
        benefits at no additional fee.CIBC World Markets reported a net loss of $538 million for the third
quarter, which included the loss of $596 million related to CIBC's structured
credit run-off activities and other items of note aggregating to a net loss of
$20 million. This result compares to a loss of $1,637 million last quarter,
which included a loss of $1,672 million related to structured credit run-off
activities and other items of note aggregating to a net loss of $43 million.
    Revenue in the third quarter for CIBC's continuing World Markets'
businesses was up from last quarter, primarily due to higher revenue from
fixed income and currencies, loan hedging and merchant banking, partly offset
by lower revenue from global equities and equity new issues as a result of the
continued low levels of market activity in these areas.
    CIBC's corporate loan portfolio continues to perform well, with loan
losses of $7 million in the third quarter.
    Activities continued during the third quarter on many fronts to
reposition CIBC's wholesale business for more consistent and sustainable
performance.
    In its structured credit run-off business, CIBC further reduced notional
exposures through a combination of the termination and amortization of credit
derivative contracts.
    Market and economic conditions relating to the financial guarantors may
change in the future, which could result in significant future losses.
    During the quarter, the strength of CIBC's World Markets franchise was
evident in several notable achievements:-   No. 1 in M&A Activity - CIBC World Markets continues its M&A
        leadership in Canada as measured by volume and deal value, as
        evidenced by its financial advisor role to the Board of Directors of
        EnCana on its approximately $70 billion reorganization of its natural
        gas resource assets and its integrated oil businesses into two
        separate entities, and to Teck Cominco with respect to its pending
        acquisition of Fording Canadian Coal Trust's assets in a transaction
        valued at US$14 billion, which includes CIBC's role as co-lead
        arranger and underwriter for US$9.8 billion of fully underwritten
        bridge and term loans to support the transaction.
    -   A leader in connecting global players with Canadian markets -
        CIBC World Markets continues to deliver on its mission to bring
        Canada to the world and the world to Canada, as evidenced by its role
        as financial advisor to Saskferco in its $1.6 billion sale of a
        nitrogen fertilizer plant to Yara International, a Norwegian chemical
        company. Since the opening of its Winnipeg office in early 2007,
        CIBC World Markets has strengthened its growing presence in the
        agricultural and prairie markets.
    -   No. 1 in Equity Underwriting - CIBC World Markets retained its
        position as the leader in volume of new issues underwritten for the
        fiscal year to date, acting as lead manager on a $288 million
        financing by H&R REIT and as sole underwriter of a US$150 million
        offering by Central Fund of Canada Limited.Productivity

    In addition to continuing to invest and position its core businesses for
long term performance, CIBC remains committed to its strategic objective of
achieving a median efficiency ratio among the major Canadian banks.
    CIBC's target for 2008 is to hold expenses flat relative to annualized
2006 fourth quarter expenses, excluding expenses related to FirstCaribbean and
its restructuring activities.
    Expenses for the third quarter were $1,725 million, down from
$1,819 million a year ago.
    "Through a combination of better revenue performance as market conditions
improve, as well as continued focus to adjust our infrastructure support
activities in light of recent business divestitures, we expect to achieve
continued progress in the area of productivity," says McCaughey.

    Balance sheet strength

    CIBC's third priority is to build balance sheet strength.
    In 2008, CIBC is placing additional emphasis on this priority, given the
uncertain market conditions.
    Earlier this year, CIBC strengthened its capital position by raising
$2.9 billion of common equity.
    The capital raise has enabled CIBC to maintain a strong capital position
despite the impact of deteriorating market conditions on performance.
    The primary measure of CIBC's balance sheet strength is its Tier 1
capital ratio. CIBC's Tier 1 ratio of 9.8% at the end of July remains well
above its target of 8.5% and one of the highest among North American banks.

    Update on risk management enhancements

    In addition to furthering its business priorities, CIBC continues to
enhance its risk management capabilities.
    During the quarter, CIBC completed a restructuring of its risk management
department. The new structure is based on the results of a comprehensive
review that began earlier this year and comprises five groups as follows:-   Balance Sheet Measurement, Monitoring and Control
    -   Capital Markets
    -   Credit Portfolio Management
    -   Product Risk Management, Card Products, Mortgages & Retail Lending
    -   Wholesale Credit & Investment Risk ManagementThis new structure consolidates and simplifies CIBC's risk management
structure, while supporting CIBC's objectives to strengthen decision-making,
accountability and communication on risk matters across the department and
within CIBC.

    Making a difference in communities

    As a leader in community investment, CIBC is committed to supporting
causes that matter to its clients, its employees and its communities. During
the quarter, CIBC continued to demonstrate leadership in this area.-   CIBC and the YMCA of Greater Toronto launched CIBC YMCA Access to
        Opportunity™ to help newcomers overcome barriers to settling in
        Canada. The new program includes financial literacy learning seminars
        that provide newcomers with information and advice needed to get
        started with banking in Canada as well as a job readiness training
        program that helps connect qualified newcomers to employment at CIBC
        and in the financial services sector.
    -   CIBC was the principal sponsor, for the third year, of the Tour CIBC
        Charles-Bruneau, a four-day bicycle trip across Quebec that raises
        funds for children with cancer. This year, CIBC employees and
        clients raised $150,000 and the Tour exceeded its goal by raising
        $700,000. The funds raised will be donated to the Centre de
        cancérologie Charles-Bruneau at the Sainte-Justine Hospital for
        research and treatment of children with cancer.
    -   CIBC employees throughout B.C. and parts of the Northern Territories
        raised more than $415,000 for the 2008 B.C. Children's Hospital
        campaign. Since 1995, CIBC employees and clients have raised more
        than $3.7 million dollars for B.C. Children's Hospital Foundation.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Net income for the quarter was $71 million, compared to net income of
$835 million for the same quarter last year and a net loss of $1,111 million
for the prior quarter. Net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was
$2,496 million, compared with net income of $2,412 million for the same period
in 2007.
    Our results for the current quarter were affected by the following items:-   Loss on the structured credit run-off business of $885 million
        ($596 million after-tax), which includes gains on index hedges, net
        of mark-to-market (MTM) losses on unhedged exposures related to the
        U.S. residential mortgage market (USRMM), of $12 million ($8 million
        after-tax), charges on credit protection purchased from ACA Financial
        Guaranty Corp. (ACA) and other financial guarantors of $904 million
        ($609 million after-tax), gains on credit hedges on structured credit
        counterparties of $74 million ($50 million after-tax), losses on
        sales of certain positions, and direct expense related to managing
        the run-off activities;
    -   $16 million ($11 million after-tax) of higher than normal severance
        accruals;
    -   $30 million ($20 million after-tax) positive impact of changes in
        credit spreads on the MTM of credit derivatives in our corporate loan
        hedging program;
    -   $28 million ($20 million after-tax and minority interest) gain on
        sale of shares in Visa Inc.;
    -   Interest income on income tax reassessments of $27 million
        ($18 million after-tax); and
    -   Losses and interest expense related to leveraged leases of
        $55 million ($33 million after-tax).Compared with Q3, 2007

    The loss on structured credit run-off business noted above was the main
factor for the decline in revenue from the same quarter last year. Losses
related to leveraged leases, lower gains on credit derivatives in our
corporate loan hedging program, and lower retail spreads attributable to a
lower interest rate environment also contributed to the decline. Revenue
benefited from volume growth in cards, mortgages and deposits. Provision for
credit losses was up mainly due to higher losses in the cards portfolio as a
result of volume growth, an increase in provisions relating to the expiry of
previous credit card securitizations and higher loss rates. Non-interest
expenses were down largely due to lower performance-related compensation,
partially offset by higher severance related expenses.

    Compared with Q2, 2008

    Revenue was up mainly due to lower charges on credit protection purchased
from financial guarantors and lower MTM losses related to our USRMM positions.
Revenue in the quarter was negatively impacted by lower treasury revenues and
losses and interest expense related to leveraged leases. Non-interest expenses
were down from the prior quarter due to lower litigation expenses, partially
offset by higher performance-related compensation expense.

    Compared with the nine months ended July 31, 2007

    Revenue in the current period was significantly lower due to the charges
on credit protection purchased from financial guarantors and MTM losses
related to our USRMM positions. Lower revenue from U.S. real estate finance
and the impact of the sale of some of our U.S. businesses, and lower retail
spreads attributable to a lower interest rate environment contributed to the
decline. Revenue benefited from higher gains on our corporate loan credit
derivatives, volume growth in cards, mortgages and deposits, and the
FirstCaribbean International Bank (FirstCaribbean) acquisition. Provision for
credit losses was up mainly due to the reversal of general allowance in the
same period last year and higher losses in the cards portfolio driven by
volume growth, increase in provisions relating to the expiry of previous
credit card securitizations and higher loss rates. Non-interest expenses were
down largely due to lower performance-related compensation and the sale of
some of our U.S. businesses. The loss for the period resulted in a tax
benefit.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------Significant events

    Global market credit issues

    Problems originating in the U.S. subprime mortgage market last year
continued to impact the conditions for credit and liquidity globally. Our
structured credit business, within CIBC World Markets, had losses for the
quarter of $885 million ($6.8 billion for the nine months ended July 31,
2008), primarily due to deterioration in the credit quality of financial
guarantors and MTM losses on the underlying assets, which resulted in
significant increases in valuation adjustments to the value of credit
protection bought. During the quarter, we continued to actively manage our
exposures, reducing notional exposures by approximately $1.5 billion and
unwound related purchased credit derivatives of a similar amount for a total
reduction in notional of approximately US$3 billion.
    In April 2008, the Financial Stability Forum (a group of G7 central banks
and supervision groups) tabled recommendations with the G7 countries to
enhance disclosure of what are deemed to be high risk activities. Based on
these recommendations we have presented a number of related disclosures in the
"Run-off businesses" and "Other selected activities" sections of the MD&A.

    Sale of some of our U.S. businesses

    Effective January 1, 2008, we sold our U.S. based investment banking,
leveraged finance, equities and related debt capital markets businesses and
our Israeli investment banking and equities businesses to Oppenheimer Inc.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2008, we recorded a loss of $80 million
on the sale. It is anticipated that the sale of certain other U.S. capital
markets related activities located in the U.K. and Asia to Oppenheimer will
close in the fourth quarter of 2008.
    CIBC restricted share awards (RSAs) held by employees transferred to
Oppenheimer will continue to vest in accordance with their original terms. To
support this compensation arrangement, Oppenheimer will reimburse CIBC for the
cost of these RSAs to the extent they vest, at which time we will record the
reimbursements in other non-interest income.
    Pursuant to the sale agreement, CIBC invested in a US$100 million
subordinated debenture issued by Oppenheimer and is providing certain credit
facilities to Oppenheimer and its investment banking clients to facilitate
Oppenheimer's business, with each loan subject to approval by CIBC's credit
committee.
    The disposition is not expected to have a significant impact on our
ongoing results of operations.

    Issue of share capital

    During the first quarter, we issued 45.3 million common shares for net
proceeds of $2.9 billion, through a combination of private placements and a
public offering.
    We issued 23.9 million common shares for net proceeds of $1.5 billion,
through a private placement to a group of institutional investors, comprising
Manulife Financial Corporation, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, Cheung
Kong (Holdings) Ltd. and OMERS Administration Corporation.
    We also issued 21.4 million common shares for net proceeds of
$1.4 billion, through a public offering.

    Visa Inc.

    As a result of the worldwide restructuring of Visa in the last quarter of
2007, in March 2008, Visa Inc. proceeded with the IPO of Class A shares at
US$44 per share. As a result of the mandatory redemption of 56.1% of our
shares and the final adjustment process, we recorded a pre-tax loss of $22
million ($19 million after-tax and minority interest) in the second quarter.
    In July 2008, we sold our remaining shares in Visa Inc. to another former
bank member in the Visa network as permitted by the terms of Visa's
restructuring agreements and recorded a gain of $28 million ($20 million
after-tax and minority interest).

    Global restructuring of ACA

    On August 7, 2008, we, together with other institutions reached an
agreement with ACA to restructure the credit derivatives that ACA had in place
with various counterparties. The restructuring resulted in the termination of
the credit derivative contracts and, in return, we received cash of
approximately US$33 million representing our pro-rata share (16%) of an
initial cash payment. We also received, on a pro-rata basis, a counterparty
surplus note (CSN) issued by ACA, valued at US$8 million. The CSN entitles the
holder to receive any residual cash flows of ACA and is subject to the review
and approval of the Maryland Insurance Administration.
    We consider that the events of August 7, 2008 represent additional
information relating to our best estimate of the amounts recoverable from ACA
as at July 31, 2008, and have accordingly adjusted our credit valuation
adjustment against ACA resulting in a credit to net income before tax of
US$11 million.

    Leveraged leases

    Effective November 1, 2007, we adopted the amended CICA Emerging Issues
Committee Abstract (EIC) 46, "Leveraged Leases", which was based upon the
Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position FAS 13-2, "Accounting for
a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income
Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction".
    The EIC requires that a change in the estimated timing of the cash flows
relating to income taxes result in a recalculation of the timing of income
recognition from the leveraged lease. The adoption resulted in a $66 million
charge to opening retained earnings as at November 1, 2007. An amount
approximating this non-cash charge will be recognized into income over the
remaining lease terms using the effective interest rate method.
    On August 5, 2008, CIBC received a settlement offer from the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to its leveraged leases. The terms and
conditions of the letter are identical to that received by other industry
participants in these transactions. The effect of the communication is a
further change in the cash flows from the previous offer to settle by the IRS
and from what was reflected in the opening retained earnings amount as
described above. The current quarter income statement includes a pre-tax
charge of $22 million resulting from a GAAP lease income adjustment and a
further pre-tax charge of $33 million for interest payments on deficient tax
installments. The settlement offer includes certain other terms and conditions
which CIBC is attempting to have clarified with the IRS including a "best
efforts" clause to terminate all leases before December 31, 2008 when all
associated tax benefits for leases not terminated will be deemed to end. CIBC
has 60 days from August 5, 2008 to accept this offer. The IRS will provide
additional written information on the offer shortly. While CIBC believes its
provisions and charges to date accurately reflect the terms of the IRS
settlement offer, it is possible that clarification by the IRS of certain
terms and conditions (and agreement on actual numbers) could result in
additional charges in future quarters.

    Outlook

    Canadian economic growth is expected to remain very sluggish in the final
fiscal quarter of this year, held back by weak exports and the impacts of
recent employment declines on consumer spending. Housing construction is also
showing some tentative signs of a slowdown. Interest rates are likely to
remain generally stable until 2009 as the central bank awaits signs of an
economic pick-up in the U.S.
    CIBC Retail Markets should benefit from what are still historically low
unemployment rates that support lending growth and household credit quality. A
slower pace of real estate price increases and home sales may moderate
mortgage growth rates.
    For CIBC World Markets, mergers and acquisition and equity activity will
likely remain slower than in the prior year due to credit concerns affecting
global leveraged deals. We expect loan demand to increase due to reduced
investor appetite for asset-backed securities. Economic softness could lead to
a less favourable period for corporate credit risk in certain parts of the
Canadian economy.

    RUN-OFF BUSINESSES
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Given the uncertain market conditions and to focus on our core businesses
in CIBC World Markets, we have curtailed activity in our structured credit and
international leveraged finance businesses and have established a focused team
with the mandate to manage and reduce the residual exposures.-------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Background information on special purpose entities

    Structured credit activities usually involve special purpose entities
    (SPEs). SPEs are legal vehicles, often in the form of trusts, which are
    designed to fulfill specific and narrow needs. SPEs are used to provide
    market liquidity to clients and to create investment products by
    aggregating either pools of homogenous assets or a variety of different
    assets, and issuing either single tranche short term debt securities,
    referred to as asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) or longer term
    multi-tiered debt instruments which include super senior, senior,
    subordinated or mezzanine, and equity tranches. Often SPEs are referred
    to by reference to the type of assets that are aggregated within the SPE
    such as RMBS which aggregate mortgage loans, or collateralized loan
    obligations (CLOs) which aggregate corporate loans. In addition, SPEs can
    also aggregate debt securities issued by other SPEs, such as RMBS, and
    are referred to as CDOs. In more complex structures, SPEs which aggregate
    securities issued by other CDOs and then issue a further tranche of debt
    securities are referred to as CDOs squared. Our involvement with SPEs is
    discussed in the "Off balance sheet arrangements" section of the MD&A.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------Structured credit run-off business

    Overview and results

    Our structured credit business, within CIBC World Markets, comprises our
activities as principal and for client facilitation. These activities include
warehousing of assets and structuring of SPEs which could result in the
holding of unhedged positions. Other activities include intermediation,
correlation, and flow trading which earn a spread on matching positions.Exposures

    Our exposures largely consist of the following categories:

    Unhedged -
    -   USRMM
    -   non-USRMM

    Hedged -
    -   financial guarantors (USRMM and non-USRMM)
    -   other counterparties (USRMM and non-USRMM)

    ------------------------------------------------------------  -----------
    ------------------------------------------------------------  -----------

    The structured credit business had losses during the quarter of
$885 million, compared to losses of $2.5 billion in the prior quarter. These
losses were primarily driven by further deterioration in the credit quality of
financial guarantors and the mark-to-market losses of the underlying assets,
which resulted in significant increases in credit valuation adjustments.

    Change in exposures

    ACA
    ---
    During the quarter, the following events took place with respect to
written credit derivatives against which we purchased protection from ACA:

    -   US$97 million of notional of our written credit derivatives were
        cancelled as a result of default in the underlyings, generating a
        loss of US$9 million in the quarter. The corresponding purchased
        credit derivatives with ACA were also cancelled.
    -   We terminated US$339 million of written credit derivatives with a
        loss of US$2 million. As a result, the corresponding purchased credit
        derivatives with ACA became unmatched protection.
    -   Normal amortization reduced the notional of our written and
        corresponding purchased credit derivatives with ACA by US$28 million.On August 7, 2008, we together with other institutions reached an
agreement with ACA to restructure the credit derivatives that ACA had in place
with various counterparties. The restructuring resulted in the termination of
the credit derivatives contracts and in return, we received cash of
approximately $33 million representing our pro-rata share (16%) of an initial
cash payment. We also received, on a pro-rata basis, a CSN issued by ACA,
valued at $8 million. The CSN entitles the holder to receive any residual cash
flows of ACA and is subject to the review and approval of the Maryland
Insurance Administration.
    As a consequence of the restructuring, our investments (notional
US$217 million, fair value US$11 million) and our written credit derivatives,
(notional US$1,226 million, fair value liability US$1,097 million) previously
hedged by ACA, became unhedged as of August 7, 2008.

    Others
    ------
    During the quarter, in addition to the reduction of the ACA related
positions noted above we have also reduced exposures in the intermediation,
correlation and flow trading books by approximately US$1.5 billion, and
unwound related purchased credit derivatives of a similar amount for a total
reduction in notional of approximately US$3.0 billion.-------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (6)    As at July 31, 2008, the rating for super senior CDO of Mezzanine
           RMBS was CC. The rating for the warehouse RMBS was approximately

           market value).
    (7)    Includes USRMM exposures held in FirstCaribbean which mature in
           25 to 38 years and are rated AA1 to AAA.

           US$31 million).
    n/a    not applicableUnhedged USRMM exposures

    Our remaining unhedged exposure to the USRMM, after write downs, was
US$45 million ($46 million) as at July 31, 2008. To mitigate this exposure, we
also have subprime index hedges with a notional amount of US$75 million
($77 million) and a fair value of US$58 million ($59 million) as at July 31,
2008. During the quarter, we terminated $225 million notional of index hedges
as a result of the reduction in our exposures. We had gains on index hedges,
net of realized and unrealized losses on our unhedged USRMM exposures, in the
quarter of US$12 million ($12 million).

    Unhedged non-USRMM exposures

    Our unhedged exposures to non-USRMM primarily relates to four categories:
CLO, corporate debt, third party sponsored ABCP conduits, warehouse non-RMBS,
and other. A fifth category, commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) in
FirstCaribbean was sold during the quarter.

    CLO

    Our unhedged CLO assets with notional of US$418 million ($428 million)
were mostly rated AAA as at July 31, 2008, and are backed by diversified pools
of European based senior secured leveraged loans.

    Corporate debt

    Approximately 21%, 53% and 26% of the unhedged corporate debt exposures
with notional of US$209 million ($214 million) are related to positions in
Europe, Canada and other countries respectively.

    Third party sponsored ABCP conduits

    We hold positions in and provide liquidity facilities with a total
notional of US$1,098 million ($1,124 million) to ABCP conduits that are
parties to the "Montreal Accord" and ABCP conduits that are not parties to the
Montreal Accord.

    Montreal Accord
    ---------------
    As at July 31, 2008 we held $452 million (October 31, 2007: $358 million)
in par value holdings in non-bank sponsored ABCP subject to the Montreal
Accord, including $94 million notional purchased in the third quarter which
was in excess of management's estimate of fair value of these instruments, to
settle claims. These non-bank sponsored ABCP are backed by traditional
securitization assets, and leveraged and unleveraged CDOs, some of which have
U.S sub-prime exposures (estimated notional exposure to U.S sub-prime
mortgages was $110 million as at July 31, 2008).
    We also provided a liquidity facility of $270 million to one of these
conduits which was undrawn as at July 31, 2008. The conditions of the facility
require the conduit's notes, which are currently unrated, to be rated R-1
(high) by DBRS, hence it is unlikely to be drawn. If the restructuring plan
set out in the Montreal Accord ultimately prevails as we expect, we will
receive $145 million in senior Class A-1 notes, $153 million in senior Class
A- 2 notes and $152 million in various subordinated and tracking notes and
$2 million in accrued interest in exchange for our existing ABCP with par
value of $452 million in the third quarter. The Class A-1 and Class A-2 notes
pay a variable rate of interest that will be below market levels. The
subordinated notes are expected to be zero coupon in nature paying interest
and principal only after the Class A-1 and Class A-2 notes are settled in
full. The tracking notes will pass through the cash flows of the underlying
assets. All of the notes are expected to mature in December 2016.
    Based on our estimate of the $258 million combined fair value of these
notes, we recorded cumulative losses of $170 million, all in previous
quarters.
    In addition, pursuant to the restructuring plan, we expect to participate
in a Margin Funding Facility (MFF) to support the collateral requirements of
the restructured conduits. Under the terms of the MFF, we will be committed to
provide a $300 million undrawn loan facility to be used in the unlikely event
that the amended collateral triggers of the related credit derivatives are
breached and the new trusts to be created under the Montreal Accord do not
have sufficient assets to support the collateral requirements. If the loan
facility was fully drawn and more collateral was required, we would then have
the right to limit our commitment to the original $300 million, although the
consequence would likely be the loss of that $300 million loan.

    Other ABCP conduits
    -------------------
    We also provided liquidity and credit related facilities to third party
sponsored ABCP conduits that are not parties to the Montreal Accord. During
the quarter, $100 million and $140 million of the facilities have been
terminated and drawn respectively. The drawn amounts are included in non-USRMM
unhedged others in the table on page 11. As at July 31, 2008, $384 million of
the facilities, all to U.S. conduits, remained undrawn. The underlying assets
of these conduits comprise U.S. auto loans (50%) and U.S. CDO (48%), with
maturities ranging from five to eight years. Of the $384 million, $40 million
was subject to liquidity agreements under which the conduits maintain the
right to put their assets back to CIBC at par. Approximately 87% of the
$40 million is provided to conduits with CDO assets. In addition, as at
July 31, 2008, we had investments and loans of $18 million in third party
sponsored ABCP conduits that are not parties to the Montreal Accord.

    Warehouse non-RMBS

    Of the unhedged warehouse non-RMBS assets with notional of US$160 million
($164 million), 73% is investment in CLOs backed by diversified pools of U.S.
based senior secured leveraged loans. Approximately 14% is investment in CDOs
backed by trust preferred securities with exposure to U.S. real estate
investment trusts. Another 7% has exposure to the U.S. commercial real estate
market.

    Other

    Other unhedged exposure with notional of US$254 million ($260 million) is
primarily related to film rights receivables (40%), lottery receivables (23%),
and U.S. mortgage defeasance loans (27%).

    Hedged with financial guarantors (USRMM and non-USRMM)

    ACA
    ---
    During the quarter, we recorded a charge of US$102 million ($104 million)
on our exposures hedged by ACA. We have increased our valuation adjustments by
US$12 million ($12 million) against the receivable from ACA for unmatched
purchased credit derivatives, bringing the total valuation adjustments for ACA
to US$3.0 billion ($3.1 billion) as at July 31, 2008. With the restructuring
of ACA on August 7, 2008 as noted above, we have reduced our credit valuation
adjustments against ACA resulting in a credit to earnings of US$11 million
($11 million). As a result, the fair value of derivative contracts with ACA
net of valuation adjustments was US$41 million ($42 million) as at July 31,
2008.

    Other counterparties
    --------------------
    We also recorded a charge of US$799 million ($800 million) on the hedging
contracts provided by other financial guarantors to increase their related
valuation adjustments to US$3.0 billion ($3.0 billion) as at July 31, 2008.
The fair value of derivative contracts with other financial guarantors net of
valuation adjustments was US$2.9 billion ($2.9 billion). Further significant
losses could result depending on the performance of both the underlying assets
and the financial guarantors.
    Mitigating our exposure to these financial guarantors are credit hedges
with a notional amount of US$205 million ($210 million) and a fair value of
US$65 million ($67 million) as at July 31, 2008. During the quarter, we
recognized a gain of US$66 million ($68 million) net of premium cost on these
remaining hedges and others that were unwound in the quarter. These credit
hedges are market standard contracts and generic to each insurer. They do not
specifically refer to the contracts that we have with each insurer. Subsequent
to July 31, 2008, we terminated these hedges realizing their gains.
    In addition, we have loan and tranched securities positions that are
partly secured by direct guarantees from financial guarantors or by bonds
guaranteed by financial guarantors. As at July 31, 2008, these positions were
performing and the total amount guaranteed by financial guarantors was
approximately US$220 million.
    The following tables present the notional amounts and fair values of
purchased protection from financial guarantors by counterparty. The fair value
net of valuation adjustments is included in derivative instruments in other
assets on the consolidated balance sheet.US$ millions, as at July 31, 2008

    (1)  A tranche is a portion of a security offered as part of the same
         transaction where the underlying may be an asset, pool of assets,
         index or another tranche. The value of the tranche depends on the
         value of the underlying, subordination and deal specific structures
         such as tests/triggers.
    (2)  Or equivalent based on internal credit ratings.
    n/a  Not availableCLO

    The CLO, which are primarily AAA rated tranches, comprise assets in a
wide range of industries with the highest concentration in the services
(personal and food) industry (30%), the broadcasting, publishing and
telecommunication sector (18%), and the manufacturing sector (15%). Only 4% is
in the real estate sector. Approximately 63% and 32% of the underlyings
represent U.S. and European exposures respectively.

    Corporate Debt

    The Corporate Debt underlyings consist of 11 super senior synthetic CDO
tranches that reference portfolios of primarily U.S. (56%) and European (34%)
corporate debt in various industries (manufacturing 27%, financial
institutions 14%, cable and telecommunications 10%, retail and wholesale 9%).

    CMBS

    The two synthetic tranches reference CMBS portfolios, which are backed by
pools of commercial real estate mortgages located primarily in the United
States.

    Others

    Others are CDOs backed by trust preferred securities (TruPs), which are
Tier II Innovative Capital Instruments issued by U.S. regional banks and
insurers, non-U.S. RMBS (such as European residential mortgages) and other
assets including tranches of CDOs, aircraft leases, railcar leases and movie
receivables.

bonds. These conduits are in compliance with their collateral posting
arrangements and have posted collateral exceeding current market exposure. One
of the conduit counterparties, Great North Trust, is sponsored by CIBC and the
remaining conduit counterparties are parties to the Montreal Accord.-------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We provide leveraged finance to non-investment grade customers to
facilitate their buyout, acquisition and restructuring activities. We
generally underwrite leveraged financial loans and syndicate the majority of
the loans, earning a fee during the process.
    We sold our U.S. leveraged finance business as part of our sale of some
of our U.S. businesses to Oppenheimer and are exiting our European leveraged
finance (ELF) business.
    As with the structured credit run-off business, the risk in the ELF run-
off business is also managed by a focused team with the mandate to reduce the
residual portfolio. As at July 31, 2008, we have funded leveraged loans of
$924 million (April 30, 2008: $851 million), of which $1 million (April 30,
2008: nil) is considered impaired, and unfunded letters of credits and
commitments of $288 million (April 30, 2008: $374 million) of which
$23 million, (April 30, 2008: nil) is considered impaired. Associated with
this, we had a loss of $5 million related to a credit loss provision on
impaired loans and unfunded commitments during the quarter.Exposures of ELF loans by industry are as follows:

    Securitization business

    Our securitization business provides clients access to funding in the
debt capital markets. We sponsor several multi-seller conduits in Canada that
purchase pools of financial assets from our clients, and finance the purchases
by issuing commercial paper to investors. We generally provide the conduits
with commercial paper backstop liquidity facilities, securities distribution,
accounting, cash management and other financial services.
    As at July 31, 2008, our holdings of ABCP issued by our sponsored
conduits were $44 million (October 31, 2007: $3.1 billion), and our committed
backstop liquidity facilities to these conduits were $9.8 billion. We also
provided credit facilities of $60 million to these conduits as at July 31,
2008.

    U.S. real estate finance

    In our U.S. real estate finance business, we operate a full service
platform which originates commercial mortgages to mid-market clients, under
three programs. The construction program offers floating rate financing to
properties under construction. The interim program offers fixed and floating-
rate financing for properties that are fully leased or with some leasing or
renovation yet to be done. Once the construction and interim phases are
complete and the properties are income producing, borrowers are offered fixed
rate financing within the permanent program. These commercial mortgages are
then sold into CMBS programs. The business also maintains CMBS trading and
distribution capabilities. As at July 31, 2008, the group has a CMBS inventory
with a market value of US$3.3 million. The following table provides a summary
of our positions in this business as at July 31, 2008:-------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ----------------------------------------------------- -------------------
    ----------------------------------------------------- -------------------Net interest income

    Net interest income was up $147 million or 12% from the same quarter last
year, mainly due to decreased trading interest expense, volume growth in
retail products, interest income on tax reassessments, and higher interest
income in FirstCaribbean. These factors were offset in part by interest
expense related to leveraged leases.
    Net interest income was down $22 million or 2% from the prior quarter,
primarily due to interest expense related to leveraged leases, offset in part
by volume growth in retail products, interest income on tax reassessments, and
the impact of two more days in this quarter.
    Net interest income for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was up
$512 million or 15% from the same period in 2007, mainly due to volume growth
in retail products, decreased trading interest expense, higher interest income
in FirstCaribbean, interest income on tax reassessments, and the impact of one
more day. These factors were offset in part by interest expense related to
leveraged leases.

    Non-interest income

    Non-interest income was down $1,221 million or 68% from the same quarter
last year, primarily due to charges on credit protection purchased from
financial guarantors and MTM losses related to our exposure to the USRMM. In
addition, lower trading activities, the impact of the sale of some of our U.S.
businesses, lower fair value option (FVO) revenue, and lower gains on
available for sale (AFS) securities also contributed to the decline.
    Non-interest income was up $1,801 million from the prior quarter, mainly
due to lower charges on credit protection purchased from financial guarantors
and lower MTM losses related to our exposure to the USRMM. In addition, higher
trading activities, the prior quarter foreign exchange loss on the
repatriation of retained earnings from our U.S. operations, and higher gains
on AFS securities also contributed to the increase.
    Non-interest income for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was down
$8,122 million from the same period in 2007, primarily due to charges on
credit protection purchased from financial guarantors and MTM losses related
to our exposure to the USRMM. In addition, lower trading activities, the
impact of the sale of some of our U.S. businesses, lower FVO revenue, and
lower gains on AFS securities also contributed to the decline. These factors
were partially offset by higher gains on credit derivatives.

    Provision for credit losses

    Provision for credit losses was up $41 million or 25% from the same
quarter last year, largely due to higher losses in the cards portfolio as a
result of volume growth, an increase in the provision relating to the expiry
of previous credit card securitizations, and higher loss rates. These factors
were partially offset by improvements in the personal lending portfolio.
Higher losses in CIBC World Markets in the U.S. and Europe also contributed to
the increase.
    Provision for credit losses was up $27 million or 15% from the prior
quarter, primarily due to higher losses in the cards portfolio as a result of
the reasons noted above.
    Provision for credit losses for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was
up $80 million or 17% from the same period in 2007. Higher losses in the cards
portfolio as a result of the reasons noted above and lower recoveries in
Europe in CIBC World Markets were partially offset by improvements in the
personal lending portfolio. The second quarter of 2007 benefited from the
$24 million reversal of the general allowance.

    Non-interest expenses

    Non-interest expenses were down $94 million or 5% from the same quarter
last year primarily due to lower performance-related compensation, commission,
pension, telecommunication, and computer expenses. These were offset in part
by higher litigation expenses.
    Non-interest expenses were down $63 million or 4% from the prior quarter,
primarily due to lower litigation expenses, partially offset by higher
performance-related compensation.
    Non-interest expenses were down $464 million or 8% for the nine months
ended July 31, 2008 from the same period in 2007. The decrease was mainly due
to lower performance-related compensation, partially offset by higher
litigation expenses. The current period also benefited from lower commission,
pension, and communication expenses.

    Income taxes

    Income tax benefit was $101 million, compared to an expense of
$157 million in the same quarter last year. The change was largely due to
reduced income. The prior period also benefited from income tax recoveries.
The income tax benefit in the current quarter is large relative to the loss
before taxes and non-controlling interests owing to the mix of earnings in
jurisdictions that have different tax rates. Income tax benefit was down
$630 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to a lower loss before tax.
    The income tax benefit for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was
$1,834 million, compared with an expense of $479 million in the same period in
2007. The income tax benefit was due to the loss during the current period.
    The effective tax recovery rate was 439.1% for the quarter, compared to
an effective tax rate of 15.7% for the same quarter last year and a tax
recovery rate of 39.8% for the prior quarter. The current quarter recovery
rate is high for the reason noted above. The effective tax recovery rate for
the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was 42.5% compared to an effective tax
rate of 16.5% for the same period in 2007.
    At the end of the quarter, our future income tax asset was $1.3 billion,
net of a US$82 million ($84 million) valuation allowance.  Included in the
future income tax asset are $954 million related to a Canadian non-capital
loss carryforward which expires in 20 years, and $68 million related to a
Canadian capital loss carryforward which has no expiry date.  Accounting
standards require a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that
all or a portion of a future income tax asset will not be realized prior to
its expiration.  Although realization is not assured, we believe that based on
all available evidence, it is more likely than not that all of the future
income tax asset, net of the valuation allowance, will be realized.

    Foreign exchange

    Our U.S. dollar denominated results are impacted by fluctuations in the
U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar exchange rate. The Canadian dollar appreciated 5%
on average relative to the U.S. dollar from the same quarter last year,
resulting in a $11 million decrease in the translated value of our U.S. dollar
functional earnings.
    The Canadian dollar depreciated 1% on average relative to the U.S. dollar
from the prior quarter, resulting in a $1 million increase in the translated
value of our U.S. dollar functional earnings.
    The Canadian dollar appreciated 11% on average relative to the U.S.
dollar for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 from the same period in 2007,
resulting in a $223 million decrease in the translated value of our U.S.
dollar functional earnings.Review of quarterly financial information

    (1) In case of a loss, the effect of stock options potentially
        exercisable on diluted earnings (loss) per share will be anti-
        dilutive; therefore, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share will
        be the same.Our quarterly results are modestly affected by seasonal factors. The
first quarter is normally characterized by increased credit card purchases
over the holiday period. 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 activities.
    The acquisition of FirstCaribbean resulted in an increase in revenue in
CIBC Retail Markets since the first quarter of 2007. In addition, revenue was
particularly high in the fourth quarter of 2007 due to the gain recorded on
the Visa restructuring. CIBC World Markets revenue has been adversely affected
since the third quarter of 2007 due to the MTM losses on CDOs and RMBS, and
more significantly in the current three quarters due to the charges on credit
protection purchased from financial guarantors and MTM losses related to our
exposure to the USRMM.
    The retail lending provision increased in 2008 largely due to higher
losses in the cards portfolio, attributable to volume growth, an increase in
the provision relating to the expiry of previous credit card securitizations,
and higher loss rates, partially offset by improvements in the personal
lending portfolio. Corporate lending recoveries and reversals have decreased
from the high levels in the past. Reversals of the general allowance were
included in the second quarter of 2007 and the fourth quarter of 2006.
    Non-interest expenses were higher in 2007 resulting from the
FirstCaribbean acquisition. Performance-related compensation has been lower
since the third quarter of 2007. The net reversal of litigation accruals also
led to lower expenses in the third and fourth quarters of 2007.
    The first three quarters of 2008 had an income tax benefit resulting from
the loss during the period. Income tax recoveries related to the favourable
resolution of various income tax audits and reduced tax contingencies were
included in the last three quarters of 2007 and the last quarter of 2006. Tax-
exempt income has generally been increasing over the period, until the second
and third quarters of 2008. Larger tax-exempt dividends were received in the
fourth quarters of 2007 and 2006. The last quarter of 2007 benefited from a
lower tax rate on the gain recorded on the Visa restructuring and the last two
quarters of 2007 benefited from a lower tax rate on the net reversal of
litigation accruals. Income tax benefit on the foreign exchange loss on the
repatriation of retained earnings from our foreign operations was included in
the second quarter of 2008. Income tax expense on the repatriation of capital
and retained earnings from our foreign operations was included in the fourth
quarter of 2007.

    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, 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 financial measures useful
in analyzing financial performance. For a more detailed discussion on our non-
GAAP measures, see page 45 of the 2007 Annual Accountability Report.
    The following tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP
measures related to CIBC on a consolidated basis. The reconciliation of the
non-GAAP measures of our business lines are provided in their respective
sections.----------------------------------------------------- -------------------

    n/m Not meaningful due to the net loss.Internal allocations

    Treasury impacts the reported financial results of the strategic business
units (CIBC Retail Markets and CIBC World Markets) through two mechanisms:

    Internal funds transfer pricing

    Each business line is charged a marginal, market based cost of funds on
originated assets and credited with value for funds for any liabilities or
funding provided by the business line. As market rates change, the funds
transfer pricing system immediately reflects these changes for newly
originated balances and this impacts the revenue performance of each business
line.

    Treasury revenue allocations

    Once the risk inherent in our customer driven assets and liabilities is
transfer priced into Treasury, it is managed within CIBC's risk framework and
limits. The majority of revenues from these activities is allocated to, and
impacts, the "Other" business line within each strategic business unit. A
component of Treasury revenue, earnings on unallocated capital, remains in
Corporate and Other.

    Net income was down $24 million or 4% from the same quarter last year,
largely due to a slight decline in revenue and higher loan losses, partially
offset by lower expenses.
    Net income was up $63 million or 12% from the prior quarter, largely due
to the gain on the sale of our remaining Visa Inc. shares, volume growth and
two more days in the quarter, partially offset by higher loan losses.
    Net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was down $45 million
or 3% from the same period in 2007, which benefited from a tax recovery of
$80 million. Excluding the tax recovery, net income was up on lower expenses,
partially offset by higher loan losses.
    Our internal funds transfer pricing methodology provides a liquidity
payment to business units that source or provide funding and charges a
liquidity cost to business units that use funding. Compared to the prior
quarter and the same quarter last year on an aggregate basis, this has a
minimal impact to the results of CIBC Retail Markets.

    Revenue

    Revenue was down $31 million or 1% from the same quarter last year.
Continued strong volume growth and the gain on the sale of Visa Inc. shares
were offset by lower treasury revenue allocations. Spreads were relatively
flat as compression from a lower interest rate environment, the continued
shift in our product mix due to growth in secured lending and competitive
market conditions were offset by improvements in FirstCaribbean.
    Personal and small business banking revenue was up $26 million, mainly
due to higher deposit revenue driven by 4% volume growth and favourable
internal funds transfer pricing.
    Retail brokerage revenue was down $20 million, largely due to lower
trading and new issue activity.
    Cards revenue was up $55 million, primarily driven by 12% volume growth,
the gain on the sale of Visa Inc. shares and higher fee income, partially
offset by unfavourable internal funds transfer pricing.
    Mortgages and personal lending revenue was down $75 million. Strong
volume growth in residential mortgages of 12% and secured lending of 16% was
more than offset by unfavourable internal funds transfer pricing and lower
mortgage refinancing fees.
    FirstCaribbean revenue was up $32 million due to higher deposit spreads,
fee income and securities revenue.
    Other revenue was down $43 million, due to lower treasury revenue
allocations, partially offset by increased revenue in President's Choice
Financial as product balances grew 20%.
    Revenue was up $116 million or 5% from the prior quarter. Solid volume
growth, the gain on the sale of Visa Inc. shares and the impact of two more
days were partially offset by lower allocated treasury revenue, which also
compressed spreads.
    Personal and small business banking revenue was up $23 million, mainly
due to volume growth, two more days and higher fee income, partially offset by
slightly lower spreads.
    Cards revenue was up $45 million, primarily due to the sale of Visa Inc.
shares, volume growth and two more days in the quarter.
    Mortgages and personal lending revenue was down $10 million largely due
to a lower spreads, partially offset by volume growth and two more days in the
quarter.
    Commercial banking revenue was up $10 million, largely due to volume
growth in deposits and higher fee income.
    FirstCaribbean revenue was up $43 million, primarily due to higher
securities revenue and the sale of Visa Inc. shares.
    Other revenue was down $18 million, primarily due to lower treasury
revenue allocations.
    Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was down $3 million from
the same period in 2007. Strong volume growth was offset by lower brokerage
revenue. Spreads were relatively flat as compression from a lower interest
rate environment, a change in our product mix due to growth in secured
lending, and competitive market conditions were offset by improvements in
FirstCaribbean.
    Personal and small business banking revenue was up $92 million, led by
favourable internal funds transfer pricing and 4% growth in consumer deposits.
    Imperial Service revenue was up $17 million, led by volume growth.
    Retail brokerage revenue was down $76 million, as a result of lower
trading and new issue activity.
    Cards revenue was up $84 million, primarily due to 13% growth in
outstandings and higher fee income, partially offset by unfavourable internal
funds transfer pricing.
    Mortgages and personal lending revenue was down $191 million. Strong
volume growth in residential mortgages and secured lending of 12% and 15%
respectively was more than offset by unfavourable internal funds transfer
pricing and lower mortgage refinancing fees. Continued shift of the lending
portfolio to secured lines of credit negatively impacted spreads.
    Asset management revenue was down $20 million, primarily due to lower fee
income.
    FirstCaribbean revenue was up $80 million as the prior period revenue is
only included from the date of acquisition on December 22, 2006. Prior to
December 22, 2006, FirstCaribbean was equity-accounted and the revenue was
included in other.
    Other revenue was up $10 million, due to higher revenue in President's
Choice Financial, partially offset by lower treasury revenue allocations.

    Provision for credit losses

    Provision for credit losses was up $29 million or 17% from the same
quarter last year, largely due to higher losses in the cards portfolio driven
by volume growth, an increase in the provision relating to the expiry of
previous credit card securitizations and higher loss rates. The impact of the
increase in cards was partially offset by lower losses in the personal lending
portfolio.
    Provision for credit losses was up $22 million or 13% from the prior
quarter, largely due to higher losses in the cards portfolio.
    Provision for credit losses for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was
up $24 million or 5% from the same period in 2007, primarily due to higher
losses in the cards portfolio, partially offset by lower losses in the
personal lending portfolio.

    Non-interest expenses

    Non-interest expenses were down $29 million or 2% from the same quarter
last year, primarily due to lower corporate support costs and performance-
related compensation.
    Non-interest expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 were down
$67 million or 2% from the same period in 2007, primarily due to lower
performance-related compensation and corporate support costs, partially offset
by the FirstCaribbean acquisition.

    Income taxes

    Income tax expense was down $9 million or 4% from the same quarter last
year, mainly due to a decrease in income.
    Income tax expense was up $29 million or 17% from the prior quarter,
mainly due to an increase in income.
    Income tax expense was up $88 million or 18% for the nine months ended
July 31, 2008 from the same period in 2007, primarily due to the tax recovery
of $80 million in the prior period.

    Regular workforce headcount

    The regular workforce headcount of 28,341 was up 729 from the same
quarter last year, primarily due to increases in customer-facing staff.

    n/m Not meaningful due to the net loss.Financial overview

    Net loss was $538 million, compared to net income of $220 million in the
same quarter last year. CIBC World Markets' results were significantly
affected by the $596 million after-tax charge related to structured credit
run- off activities primarily due to credit valuation charges on credit
protection purchased from financial guarantors.
    Net loss was down $1,099 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to
lower credit valuation charges on credit protection purchased from financial
guarantors.
    Net loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was up $4,884 million
from the same period in 2007, mainly due to losses related to structured
credit run-off activities.

    Revenue

    Revenue was down $1,053 million from the same quarter last year mainly
due to higher losses in the run-off businesses and the sale of certain U.S.
businesses. For a more detailed discussion of some of the significant items,
refer to the "Run-off businesses" section of the MD&A.
    Capital markets revenue was down $717 million, primarily due to the
credit valuation charges on credit protection purchased from financial
guarantors. Revenue was also lower due to the impact of the sale of our U.S.
equities businesses in the first quarter.
    Investment banking and credit products revenue was down $194 million,
primarily due to lower investment banking revenue, including the impact of the
sale of our U.S. investment and corporate banking business, which accounted
for $61 million of the decrease, lower revenue from non-core portfolios
including a charge related to leveraged leases, lower gains associated with
corporate loan hedging programs and lower revenue from U.S. real estate
finance.
    Merchant banking revenue was down $141 million, mainly due to lower gains
from third-party managed funds and direct investments.
    Other revenue was down $22 million, primarily due to the interest expense
related to leveraged leases.
    Revenue was up $1,568 million from the prior quarter.
    Capital markets revenue was up $1,564 million, primarily due to lower
credit valuation charges on credit protection purchased from financial
guarantors.

primarily due to higher gains associated with corporate loan hedging programs,
partially offset by lower investment banking revenue and the charge related to
leveraged leases.
    Merchant banking revenue was up $15 million, primarily due to higher
gains net of write downs.
    Other revenue was down $59 million, primarily due to lower net internal
funding credits and the interest expense related to leveraged leases.
    Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was down $7,444 million
from the same period in 2007.
    Capital markets revenue was down $6,939 million, primarily due to the
losses related to structured credit run-off activities, which included a
$6 billion charge on credit protection purchased from financial guarantors and
MTM losses, net of gains on index hedges, of $575 million related to our
un-hedged exposure to the USRMM.
    Investment banking and credit products revenue was down $260 million,
primarily due to lower gains from U.S. real estate finance and the impact of
the sale of our U.S. investment and corporate banking business and lower gains
from non-core portfolios including a charge related to leveraged leases,
partially offset by higher gains associated with corporate loan hedging
programs.
    Merchant banking revenue was down $289 million, primarily due to lower
gains from direct investments and third-party managed funds.
    Other revenue was up $28 million mainly due to higher net internal
funding credits, partially offset by the loss on sale of certain U.S.
businesses and the interest expense related to leveraged leases.

    Provision for (reversal of) credit losses

    Provision for credit losses was $7 million, compared with a reversal of
$5 million for the same quarter last year due to higher losses in the U.S. and
Europe.
    Provision for credit losses for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was
$26 million, compared to a reversal of $10 million in the same period in 2007,
mainly due to lower recoveries in Europe, higher losses in Canada and the
allocation of general provision for credit losses to strategic business lines
commencing this year, partially offset by lower losses in the U.S.

    Non-interest expenses

    Non-interest expenses were down $53 million or 17% from the same quarter
last year, primarily due to the impact of the sale of some of our U.S.
businesses and lower performance-related compensation, partially offset by a
reversal of a litigation provision in the prior year quarter.
    Non-interest expenses were down $92 million or 26% from the prior
quarter, primarily due to a higher litigation expense in the prior quarter and
lower performance-related compensation.
    Non-interest expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 were down
$289 million or 23% from the same period in 2007, primarily due to lower
performance-related compensation and the impact of the sale of some of our
U.S. businesses, partially offset by higher litigation and professional
expenses.

    Income taxes

    Income tax benefit was $333 million, compared to $80 million in the same
quarter last year, due to the higher credit valuation charges on credit
protection purchased from financial guarantors.
    Income tax benefit was down $558 million from the prior quarter, mainly
due to the higher loss in the prior quarter, resulting from the credit
valuation charges on the credit protection purchased from financial guarantors
noted above.
    Income tax benefit for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was
$2,390 million, compared with $85 million for the same period in 2007, mainly
due to the reasons noted above.

    Regular workforce headcount

    The regular workforce headcount of 1,060 was down 765 from the same
quarter last year primarily due to the sale of some of our U.S. businesses and
the exiting of certain activities, including structured credit and European
leveraged finance.
    Regular workforce headcount was down 85 from the prior quarter primarily
due to the restructuring initiative announced in May 2008.

    Net income was up $18 million or 95% from the same quarter last year,
primarily due to the interest income from income tax reassessments.
    Net income was up $20 million from the prior quarter, mainly due to the
interest income from reassessments and higher net unallocated revenue from
treasury. The prior quarter was impacted by the foreign exchange loss on the
repatriation of retained earnings from our U.S. operations.
    Net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was up $21 million or
27% from the same period in 2007 primarily due to lower unallocated corporate
support costs and higher income tax recoveries, offset by lower unallocated
revenue from treasury and foreign exchange loss on the repatriation noted
above.

    Revenue

    Revenue was up $10 million or 7% from the same quarter last year,
primarily due to the interest income from reassessments.
    Revenue was up $95 million from the prior quarter, mainly due to the
interest income from reassessments, higher net unallocated revenue from
treasury and prior quarter foreign exchange loss on the repatriation noted
above, partially offset by lower revenue from the hedging of stock
appreciation rights (SARs).
    Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 was down $163 million or
38% from the same period in 2007, mainly due to lower unallocated revenue from
treasury, foreign exchange loss on the repatriation noted above, and lower
revenue from the hedging of SARs, offset by the interest income from
reassessments.

    Recovery of credit losses

    The nine months ended July 31, 2007 included a $20 million reversal of
the general allowance. Commencing 2008, we have allocated the general
allowance for credit losses between the two strategic business lines, CIBC
Retail Markets and CIBC World Markets.

    Non-interest expenses

    Non-interest expenses were down $12 million or 13% from the same quarter
last year, primarily due to lower unallocated corporate support costs, and
lower expenses related to SARs.
    Non-interest expenses were up $32 million or 64% from the prior quarter,
mainly due to higher unallocated corporate support costs, partially offset by
lower expenses related to SARs.
    Non-interest expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2008 were down
$108 million or 36% for the same period in 2007, primarily due to lower
unallocated corporate support costs and lower expenses related to SARs.

    Income tax

    Income tax expense was up $4 million or 16% from the same quarter last
year, primarily due to higher income.
    Income tax expense was $29 million, compared to an income tax benefit of
$14 million in the prior quarter. The prior quarter income tax benefit was due
to the repatriation noted above and income tax recoveries, offset by the tax
effecting of the prior quarter losses at rates in future years that are
expected to be less than the current year statutory rates.
    Income tax benefit was $23 million for the nine months ended July 31,
2008, compared to a $73 million income tax expense from the same period in
2007. This change was due to reduced income and tax effecting of a portion of
the losses at prior years' tax rates, which were higher than the current year
statutory rate, partially offset by the tax effecting of a portion of the
losses at rates in future years that are expected to be less than the current
year statutory rates.FINANCIAL CONDITION

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------Assets

    Total assets as at July 31, 2008 were down $13.1 billion or 4% from
October 31, 2007.
    Securities decreased due to lower trading and AFS securities, offset in
part by higher securities designated at fair value (FVO). Trading securities
decreased due to reduction in the equity portfolio, offset partially by the
purchase of assets at par from third-party structured securitization vehicles.
AFS securities decreased due to the sale of U.S. treasuries and a reduction in
CIBC-sponsored ABCP securities, offset partially by purchase of Government of
Canada bonds. FVO securities increased due to higher mortgage-backed
securities inventory to support our ongoing CIBC-originated residential
mortgage securitization program and to be available for collateral management
purposes.
    The decrease in securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements
was primarily due to normal client-driven business activity.
    Loans have increased mainly due to volume growth in consumer loans and
credit cards. Residential mortgages decreased largely due to securitizations,
net of volume growth.
    Derivative instruments decreased largely due to lower market valuation on
foreign exchange and equity derivatives, offset in part by higher interest
rate derivatives market valuation. The valuation adjustments related to the
credit protection purchased from financial guarantors was largely offset by
higher market valuation on credit derivatives resulting from widening of
credit spreads.
    Other assets increased mainly due to an increase in income tax receivable
and derivatives collateral.

    Liabilities

    Total liabilities as at July 31, 2008 were down $12.8 billion or 4% from
October 31, 2007.
    The decrease in deposits was mainly due to a reduction in our funding
requirements, offset partially by retail volume growth.
    Derivative instruments decreased mainly due to lower market valuation on
foreign exchange and equity derivatives, partially offset by higher market
valuation on interest rate and credit derivatives.
    The decrease in obligations related to securities lent or sold short or
under repurchase agreements is largely as a result of normal client-driven and
treasury funding activities resulting from a reduction in our funding
requirements.
    Subordinated indebtedness increased due to two new issuances, partially
offset by redemptions.

    Shareholders' equity

    Shareholders' equity as at July 31, 2008 was down $345 million or 3% from
October 31, 2007, due to lower retained earnings resulting from the loss in
the current year to date, partially offset by the issuance of additional share
capital.

    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, see pages 54 to 56 of the
2007 Annual Accountability Report.

    Regulatory capital

    Our minimum regulatory capital requirements are determined in accordance
with guidelines issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial
Institutions (OSFI). The OSFI guidelines evolve from the framework of risk-
based capital standards developed by the Bank for International Settlements
(BIS). Commencing November 1, 2007, our regulatory capital requirements are
based on the Basel II framework, as described in detail in the "Management of
risk" section.
    BIS standards require that banks maintain minimum Tier 1 and Total
capital ratios of 4% and 8%, respectively. OSFI has established that Canadian
deposit-taking financial institutions maintain Tier 1 and Total capital ratios
of at least 7% and 10%, respectively.
    Capital adequacy requirements are applied on a consolidated basis. The
consolidation basis applied to CIBC's financial statements is described in
Note 1 to the 2007 consolidated financial statements. All subsidiaries, except
certain investments and holdings which are not subject to risk assessment
under Basel II and are instead deducted from regulatory capital, are included
for regulatory capital calculation purposes. A deduction approach applies to
investments in insurance subsidiaries, substantial investments and
securitization-related activities. Our Canadian insurance subsidiary, CIBC
Life Insurance Company Limited, is subject to OSFI's Minimum Continuing
Capital Surplus Requirements for life insurance companies.
    The following table presents the components of our regulatory capital.
The information as at July 31, 2008 is based on Basel II requirements and
information for October 31, 2007 is based upon Basel I requirements, and hence
the information is not comparable.-------------------------------------------------------------------------

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------Tier 1 ratio was up by 0.1% from the year-end, largely due to the issue
of common shares, and a reduction in risk-weighted assets that resulted from
the change to Basel II methodology commencing November 1, 2007. This was
offset in part by the reduction in retained earnings due to the loss in the
current period, and certain other deductions, which under Basel II are now
subtracted directly from Tier 1 capital.
    Total capital ratio was up by 0.5% from the year-end due to the reasons
noted above and the issuance of subordinated debt, partially offset by a
reduction in the Tier 2 capital, as only a portion of the general allowance is
eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 capital under the Basel II methodology.

    Off-balance sheet arrangements

    We enter into several types of off-balance sheet arrangements in the
normal course of our business. These include securitizations, derivatives,
credit-related arrangements, and guarantees. Details of our off-balance sheet
arrangements are provided on pages 57 to 59 of the 2007 Annual Accountability
Report.
    The following table summarizes our exposures to entities involved in the
securitization of third-party assets (both CIBC-sponsored/structured and
third- party structured). This table differs from the Total Exposures on
Page 10 ("Total Exposures") of this report as a consequence of the exclusion
of positions with corporate underlyings which are included in Total Exposures
and the inclusion of CIBC sponsored multi-seller conduits and other non

two third-party structured vehicles in consideration for the termination of
the related total return swaps. The reference assets purchased were
categorized as trading securities on our consolidated balance sheet.
    For further details on securitizations of our own assets and guarantees

    MANAGEMENT OF RISK
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Our approach to management of risk is described on pages 60 to 73 of the
2007 Annual Accountability Report.
    In addition, in the MD&A, we have provided certain of the required
disclosures under the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA)
handbook section 3862, "Financial Instruments - Disclosures" related to the
nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments, as permitted by
that standard. These disclosures are included in the sections "Risk overview",
"Credit risk", "Market risk", "Liquidity risk", "Operational risk",
"Reputation and legal risk", and "Regulatory risk". These disclosures have
been shaded and form an integral part of the interim consolidated financial
statements.

    Risk overview

    We manage risk and related balance sheet resources within tolerance
levels established by our management committees and approved by the Board of
Directors and its committees. Several groups within Risk Management,
independent of the originating businesses, contribute to our management of
risk. During the quarter, we completed a restructuring of our risk management
department. The new structure is based on the results of a comprehensive
review that began earlier this year and comprises five groups as follows:-   Capital Markets - provides independent oversight of policies,
        procedures and standards concerning the measurement, monitoring and
        control of market risks (both trading and non-trading), trading
        credit risk and trading operational risk across CIBC's portfolios.
    -   Credit Portfolio Management - provides direction and leadership in
        credit portfolio management and reporting, policies and risk limits,
        risk rating methodology and credit systems for both retail and
        wholesale portfolios.
    -   Product Risk Management, Card Products, Mortgages & Retail Lending -
        oversees the management of credit and fraud risk in the credit card,
        residential mortgages and retail lending portfolios, including the
        optimization of lending profitability.
    -   Wholesale Credit & Investment Risk Management - responsible for the
        credit quality of CIBC's risk-rated credits through the global
        management of adjudication of small business, commercial and
        wholesale credit risks, as well as management of the special loan and
        investment portfolios.
    -   Balance Sheet Measurement, Monitoring & Control - responsible for a
        range of activities, including: strategic risk analytics and
        assessments of CIBC's portfolio; enterprise-wide oversight of the
        measurement, monitoring and control of CIBC's balance sheet resources
        including economic capital; management of CIBC's corporate insurance,
        business continuity and environmental risk programs; independent
        oversight of the measurement, monitoring and control of operational
        risk; vetting CIBC's analytic and statistical models; validating
        parameters and models used for regulatory capital.In addition to the oversight provided by Risk Management, Treasury
provides enterprise-wide funding and asset/liability, liquidity, cash and
collateral management; manages the capital structure within the constraints of
regulatory requirements; and manages capital in our subsidiaries, affiliates
and legal entities.

    Basel II Capital Accord

    On November 1, 2007, we adopted a new capital management framework,
commonly called Basel II, which is designed to enhance the risk sensitivity of
regulatory capital. Under the new Basel II Framework, regulatory capital for
the first time includes a charge for operational risk. With respect to credit
risk, the impact of Basel II is primarily on the calculation of risk weighted
assets as we moved from prescribed risk weights to using parameters that are
more closely aligned with our internal measurement of risk. In addition, the
rules permit wider discretion by bank regulators to increase or decrease
capital requirements in line with the circumstances of individual banks. The
rules require greater transparency of risk management information intrinsic to
underlying risks and capital adequacy.
    We adopted the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (AIRB) approach for credit
risk for all material portfolios. We received final approval with associated
conditions for the use of the AIRB approach to the calculation of credit risk
capital from OSFI on December 31, 2007. Immaterial portfolios (refer to
"Credit risk" section for details) are initially on the standardized approach,
and in the event that any one of the standardized portfolios becomes material,
management will implement plans to transition it to an AIRB approach as
required by OSFI.
    On August 1, 2007, we received Conditional Acceptance from OSFI to
implement the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for operational risk
effective November 1, 2007. OSFI has set the target date for Formal Acceptance
as December 31, 2008 or earlier.
    Market risk for the trading books continues to be measured under the pre-
existing OSFI approval for use of the Internal Models Approach.

    Credit risk

    Credit risk primarily arises from our direct lending activities, and from
our trading, investment and hedging activities. 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.

    Process and control

    The credit approval process is centrally controlled, with all significant
credit requests submitted to a credit risk management unit that is independent
of the originating businesses. Approval authorities are a function of the risk
and amount of credit requested. In certain cases, credit requests must be
referred to the Risk Management Committee (RMC) for approval.
    After initial approval, individual credit exposures continue to be
monitored, with a formal risk assessment including review of assigned ratings
documented at least annually. Higher risk-rated accounts are subject to closer
monitoring and are reviewed at least quarterly. Collections and specialized
loan workout groups handle the day-to-day management of the highest risk loans
to maximize recoveries.

    Credit risk limits

    Credit limits are established for business and government loans for the
purposes of portfolio diversification and managing concentration. These
include limits for individual borrowers, groups of related borrowers, industry
sectors, country and geographic regions, and products or portfolios. Direct
loan sales, credit derivative hedges or structured transactions are used to
reduce concentrations.

    Credit derivatives

    We use credit derivatives to reduce industry sector concentrations and
single-name exposures, or as part of portfolio diversification techniques.

    Guarantees

    We obtain third party guarantees and insurance to reduce the risk in our
lending portfolios. The most material of these guarantees relate to our
residential mortgage portfolio that is guaranteed by CMHC (a Government of
Canada owned corporation) or other investment-grade counterparties.

    Collateral

    Our credit risk management policies include requirements related to
collateral valuation and management. Valuations are updated periodically
depending on the nature of the collateral. The main types of collateral are
cash, securities, inventory and real estate. We have policies in place to
monitor the existence of undesirable concentration in the collateral
supporting our credit exposure.

    Exposure to credit risk

    The following table presents the exposure to credit risk which is
measured as exposure at default for on- and off-balance sheet financial
instruments. Details on the calculation of exposure at default are provided on
the next page.$ millions, as at            July 31, 2008                April 30, 2008

    (1) Under the internal ratings based approach.The portfolios are categorized based upon how we manage the business and
the associated risks. Amounts provided are after valuation adjustments related
to financial guarantors, and before allowance for credit losses and risk
mitigation, including $63.0 billion (April 30, 2008: $70.3 billion) of
collateral held for our repurchase agreement activities. Non-trading equity
exposures are not included in the table above as they have been deemed
immaterial under the OSFI guidelines, and hence, are subject to 100% risk-
weighting.Exposures subject to AIRB approach

    Business and government portfolios (excluding scored small business) -
    risk rating methodThe portfolio comprises exposures to corporate, sovereign and bank
obligors. These obligors are individually assessed and assigned a rating that
reflects our estimate of the probability of default. A mapping between our
internal ratings and the ratings used by external ratings agencies is shown in
the table below. As part of our risk-rating methodology, the risk assessment
includes a review of external ratings of the obligor. The obligor rating
assessment takes into consideration our financial assessment of the obligor,
the industry, and the economic environment of the region in which the obligor
operates. In certain circumstances, where a guarantee from a third party
exists, both the obligor and the guarantor will be assessed.Standard             Moody's

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------We use quantitative modeling techniques to assist in the development of
internal risk-rating systems. The risk-rating systems have been developed
through analysis of internal and external credit risk data. They are used for
portfolio management, risk limit setting, product pricing, and in the
determination of economic capital.
    We assess risk exposure using the following three dimensions. Parameter
estimates for each of these dimensions are long-term averages with adjustments
for the impact of any potential change in the credit cycle.-   Probability of default (PD) - the probability that the obligor will
        default within the next 12 months.
    -   Exposure at default (EAD) - the estimate of the amount which will be
        drawn at the time of default.
    -   Loss given default (LGD) - the expected severity of loss as the
        result of the default, expressed as a percentage of the EAD.The effectiveness of the risk rating systems and the parameters
associated with the risk ratings are monitored within TRM and are subject to
an annual review. The models used in the estimation of the risk parameters are
also subject to independent validation by the Risk Management validation
group, which is independent of both the origination business and the model
development process.
    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 14 to the 2007
consolidated financial statements. The PD of our counterparties is measured in
the same manner as our direct lending activity. We establish a valuation
adjustment for expected future credit losses from each of our derivative
counterparties. Traditionally, the valuation adjustment has been a function of
our estimates of the PD, the expected loss/exposure in the event of default,
and other factors such as risk mitigants. Market observed credit spreads where
available are a key factor in establishing valuation adjustments against our
counterparty credit exposures related to financial guarantors (excluding ACA)
In the prior quarter, to reflect the deterioration in general credit
conditions, we added $50 million to our historical, formulaic calculation of
the credit valuation adjustment for non-financial guarantor derivatives
counterparties, and this amount has been maintained in the current quarter.

    Business and government portfolios (excluding scored small business) -
    slotting approachA simplified risk-rating process (slotting approach) is used for
uninsured Canadian commercial mortgages, which comprise non-residential
mortgages and multi-family residential mortgages. These exposures are
individually rated on our rating scale using a risk-rating methodology that
considers the property's key attributes, which include its loan to value and
debt service ratios, the quality of the property, and the financial strength
of the owner/sponsor. All exposures are secured by a lien over the property
and in some cases additionally by mortgage insurance. Insured multi-family
residential mortgages are treated as sovereign exposures in the table above.

    Exposure by risk-bands
    ----------------------
    The following table provides the exposure by risk-weight bands.
Facilities in the "satisfactory" category have key attributes that meet our
criteria, while facilities in the "good" and "strong" categories exceed it
with progressively stronger risk metrics. Exposures in the "weak" category
generally were originated at a stronger risk level but have migrated below our
current criteria.2008      2008

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------Retail portfolios

    Retail portfolios are characterized by a large number of relatively small
exposures. They comprise: real estate secured personal lending (comprising
residential mortgages, and personal loans and lines secured by residential
property); qualifying revolving retail exposures (credit cards and unsecured
lines of credit); and other retail exposures (loans secured by non-residential
assets, unsecured loans including student loans, and scored small business
loans). These are managed as pools of homogenous risk exposures using external
credit bureau scores and/or other behavioral assessment to group exposures
according to similar credit risk profiles. These pools are assessed through
statistical techniques, such as credit scoring and computer-based models.
Characteristics used to group individual exposures vary by asset category; as
a result, the number of pools, their size, and the statistical techniques
applied to their management differ accordingly.

Consumer gross impaired loans were up $24 million or 5%, whereas business and
government gross impaired loans were up $2 million. The decrease in gross
impaired loans of $28 million in Canada and $9 million in the U.S. was more
than offset by an increase of $63 million in other countries. The overall
increase in gross impaired loans was largely attributed to residential
mortgages outside Canada and the U.S. and the business services sector.
    Allowance for credit losses was up $41 million or 3% from October 31,
2007. Specific allowance was up $42 million or 8% from the year-end, primarily
due to increases in credit cards and retail sector. The general allowance
totaled $889 million, down $1 million from the year-end.
    For details on the provision for credit losses, see the "Financial
performance review" section.

    Market risk

    Market risk arises from positions in 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.

    Process and control

    Market risk exposures are monitored daily against approved risk limits,
and control processes are in place to monitor that only authorized activities
are undertaken. We generate daily risk and limit-monitoring reports, based on
the previous day's positions. Summary market risk and limit compliance reports
are produced and reviewed weekly with the Senior Executive Team, and quarterly
with the RMC.
    We have risk tolerance levels, expressed in terms of both statistically
based value-at-risk (VaR) measures and potential worst-case stress losses. We
use a three-tiered approach to set market risk and stress limits on the
amounts of risk that we can assume in our trading and non-trading activities,
as follows:-   Tier 1 limits are our overall market risk and worst-case scenario
        limits.
    -   Tier 2 limits are designed to control the risk profile in each
        business.
    -   Tier 3 limits are at the desk level and designed to monitor risk
        concentration and the impact of book-specific stress events.Trading activities

    We use a number of risk measures such as VaR, and stress testing and
scenario analysis for measuring trading risk.

    Value-at-Risk

    Our VaR methodology is a statistical technique that measures the
potential worst-case overnight loss within a 99% confidence level. VaR uses
numerous risk factors as inputs and is computed through the use of historical
volatility of each risk factor and the associated historical correlations
among them, evaluated over a one-year period.
    The VaR for the three months ending July 31, 2008 disclosed in the table
and backtesting chart on the next page exclude our exposures in our run-off
businesses as described on pages 10 to 16 of the MD&A. Due to the volatile and
illiquid markets in recent months, the quantification of risk for these
positions is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. These positions are
being managed down independent of our trading businesses, and are not subject
to our internal VaR limits.

    Stress testing and scenario analysis

    Our stress testing measures the effect on portfolio values of extreme
market movements up to a period of one quarter. Scenarios are developed to
model extreme economic events, worst-case historical experiences or potential
future plausible events.
    Our core stress tests and scenario analyses are run daily, and further ad
hoc analysis is carried out as required. Scenarios are reviewed and amended as
necessary to ensure they remain relevant. Limits are placed on the maximum
acceptable loss to the aggregate portfolio under any worst-case scenario and
on the impact of stress testing at the detailed portfolio level and by asset
class.

    Backtesting

    The backtesting process measures that actual profit and loss outcomes are
consistent with the statistical assumptions of the VaR model. This process
also includes the calculation of a hypothetical or static profit and loss.
This represents the theoretical change in value of the prior day's closing
portfolio due to each day's price movements, on the assumption that the
contents of the portfolio remained unchanged.Value-at-risk by risk type (trading portfolios)

    n/a Not available as we started reporting this measure only in the fourth
        quarter of 2007.Total average risk was down 7% from the last quarter, primarily due to
increase in the portfolio diversification. Total average risk was up more than
31% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to inclusion of debt
specific risk measure in VaR starting in the fourth quarter of 2007, as well
as the higher market volatilities used in the calculation of VaR. If the
positions in our run-off businesses had been included for the quarter the
average daily VaR would have been $19.9 million and the VaR at quarter-end
would have been $21.8 million.

    Trading revenue

    The trading revenue (TEB)(1) and VaR backtesting graph below compares the
current quarter and the three previous quarters' actual daily trading revenue
(TEB)(1) with the previous day's VaR measures.
    Trading revenue (TEB)(1) was positive for 67% of the days in the quarter.
Trading losses exceeded VaR for one day during the quarter due to a large move
in short-term interest rates driven by U.S. Federal Reserve's unexpected
decision to leave the overnight rate unchanged. Average daily trading revenue
(TEB)(1) was $1.3 million during the quarter.
    The trading revenue (TEB)(1) for the current quarter excludes
$0.6 million related to the consolidation of variable interest entities as
well as trading losses from the run-off businesses including $920 million
related to reductions in fair value of structured credit assets and
counterparty credit-related valuation adjustments and $5.5 million related to
revenue from other positions in the run-off books.Backtesting of trading revenue (TEB)(1) vs. VaR

    (1) For additional information, see the "Non-GAAP measures" section on
        pages 45 to 46 of our 2007 Annual Accountability Report.Non-trading activities

    Market risks also arise from our retail banking business, equity
investments and other 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. A
variety of cash instruments and derivatives, principally interest rate swaps,
futures and options are used to manage and control these risks.

    -------------------------------------------------Foreign exchange risk

    Non-trading foreign exchange risk, also referred to as structural foreign
exchange risk, arises primarily from our investments in foreign operations.
This risk, predominantly in U.S. dollars, is managed using derivative hedges,
and by funding the investments in foreign currencies. We actively manage this
risk to ensure that the potential impact to earnings is minimized and that
potential impact on our capital ratios is within tolerances set by the RMC.
    A 1% appreciation of the Canadian dollar would reduce our shareholders'
equity as at July 31, 2008 by approximately $23.6 million.
    Our non-functional currency denominated earnings are converted into the
functional currencies through spot or forward foreign exchange transactions to
reduce exchange rate fluctuations on our consolidated statement of operations.
Foreign functional currency earnings are translated at average monthly
exchange rates as they arise.
    We hedge certain anticipated foreign currency expenses using derivatives
which are accounted for as cash flow hedges. As at July 31, 2008, the net
change in fair value of these hedging derivatives included in accumulated
other comprehensive income amounted to an after-tax loss of $59 million
(October 31, 2007: after-tax loss of $73 million). This amount will be
released to income to offset the hedged currency fluctuations as the expenses
are incurred.

    Equity risk

    Non-trading equity risk arises primarily in our merchant banking
activities and comprises public and private equities, investments in limited
partnerships, and equity-accounted investments.

trading equities, including merchant banking portfolios:Carrying      Fair

    (1) Includes equity-accounted investments.Liquidity risk

    Liquidity risk arises from our general funding activities and in the
course of managing our assets and liabilities. It is the risk of having
insufficient cash resources to meet current financial obligations without
raising funds at unfavourable rates or selling assets on a forced basis.
    Our liquidity risk management strategies seek to maintain sufficient
liquid financial resources to continually fund our balance sheet under both
normal and stressed market environments.

    Process and control

    Actual and anticipated inflows and outflows of funds generated from on-
and off-balance sheet exposures are managed on a daily basis within specific
short-term asset/liability mismatch limits by geographic location.
    Potential cash flows under various stress scenarios are modeled using
balance sheet positions. On a consolidated basis, prescribed liquidity levels
under a selected benchmark stress scenario are maintained for a minimum time
horizon.

    Risk measurement

    Our liquidity measurement system provides daily liquidity risk exposure
reports for independent monitoring and review by MRM. Senior management and
the RMC oversee liquidity risk exposure reporting. Stress event impacts are
measured through scenario analysis, designed to measure potential impact of
abnormal market conditions on the liquidity risk profile. Treatment of cash
flows under varying conditions is reviewed periodically to determine whether
changes to customer behaviour assumptions are warranted.

    Term funding sources and strategies

    We source term funding in the wholesale markets from a variety of clients
and geographic locations, borrowing across a range of maturities using a mix
of funding instruments. Core personal deposits remain a primary source of
retail funding. As at July 31, 2008, Canadian dollar deposits from individuals
totalled $89.0 billion (October 31, 2007: $83.8 billion).
    Strategies for managing liquidity risk include maintaining diversified
sources of wholesale term funding, asset securitization initiatives, capital
and subordinated debt issuance, and maintenance of segregated pools of high
quality liquid assets that can be sold or pledged as security to provide a
ready source of cash.

    The following table summarizes our liquid assets:-------------------------------------------------------------------------

day-to-day clearing and settlement of payments and securities. Pledged assets
as at July 31, 2008 totalled $26.8 billion (October 31, 2007: $27.7 billion).
    While conditions have stabilized, the recent turmoil in global capital
markets continues to result in reduced liquidity and increased term funding
costs for financial institutions generally. One factor affecting the access of
financial institutions to unsecured funding markets is credit ratings. No
changes to our ratings were made by the major rating agencies during the third
quarter.

    Maturity of financial liabilities

    The following table provides the maturity profile of financial
liabilities based upon contractual repayment obligations, and excludes
contractual cash flows related to derivative liabilities. Although contractual
repayments of many deposit accounts are on demand or at short notice, in
practice short-term deposit balances remain stable. Our deposit retention
history indicates that many customers do not request repayment on the earliest
redemption date and the table therefore does not reflect the anticipated cash
flows.-------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Details on our contractual obligations are provided on page 71 of the
2007 Annual Accountability Report. There were no significant changes to
contractual obligations that were not in the ordinary course of our business.

    Operational risk

    Operational risk is the loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal
processes, systems, or from human error or external events.

    Process and control

    Each line of business has responsibility for the day-to-day management of
operational risk. Infrastructure and governance groups maintain risk and
control self-assessment processes. We maintain a corporate insurance program
to provide additional protection from loss and a global business continuity
management program to mitigate business continuity risks in the event of a
disaster.

    Risk measurement

    Effective November 1, 2007, under Basel II, we use the AMA to calculate
operational risk regulatory capital. Our operational risk measurement
methodology for economic capital purposes attributes operational risk capital
to expected and unexpected losses arising from the following loss event types:-   Legal liability (with respect to third parties, clients and
        employees);
    -   Client restitution;
    -   Regulatory compliance and taxation violations;
    -   Loss or damage to assets;
    -   Transaction processing errors; and
    -   Theft, fraud and unauthorized activities.Operational risk capital is calculated using a loss distribution approach
with the input parameters based on either actual internal loss experience
where a statistically significant amount of internal historical data is
available, or applying a loss scenario approach based on the available
internal/external loss data and management expertise.
    In addition to the capital attributed as described above, adjustments are
made for internal control issues and risks that are not included in the
original operational risk profile.
    Under AMA, we are allowed to recognize the risk mitigating impact of
insurance in the measures of operational risk used for regulatory minimum
capital requirements. Although our current insurance policy is tailored to
provide earnings protection from potential high-severity losses, we currently
do not take any capital relief as a result of our insurance program.

    Reputation and legal risk

    CIBC's reputation and financial soundness are of fundamental importance
to CIBC, its customers, shareholders and employees.
    Reputation risk is the potential for negative publicity regarding CIBC's
business conduct or practices which, whether true or not, could significantly
harm our reputation as a leading financial institution, or could materially
and adversely affect our business, operations or financial condition.
    Legal risk is the potential for civil litigation or criminal or
regulatory proceedings being commenced against CIBC that, once decided, could
materially and adversely affect our business, operations or financial
condition.
    The RMC provides oversight of the management of reputation and legal
risk. The identification, consideration and management of potential reputation
and legal risk is a key responsibility of CIBC and all of its employees.
    Our "Global Reputation and Legal Risks Policy" sets standards for
safeguarding our reputation and minimizing exposure to our reputation and
legal risk. The policy is supplemented by business specific procedures for
identifying and escalating transactions that could pose material reputation
risk and/or legal risk. The Reputation and Legal Risk Committee reviews all
transactions brought before it to assess whether CIBC is exposing itself to
any undue reputation and legal risk.

    Regulatory risk

    Regulatory risk is the risk of non-compliance with regulatory
requirements. Non-compliance with these requirements may lead to regulatory
sanctions and harm to our reputation.
    Our regulatory compliance philosophy is to manage regulatory risk
through, among other things, the integration of controls within the business
and infrastructure groups. The foundation of this approach is a legislative
compliance management (LCM) framework. The LCM framework maps regulatory
requirements to internal policies, procedures and controls that govern
regulatory compliance.
    Our compliance department is responsible for the development and
maintenance of a regulatory compliance program, including oversight of the LCM
framework. The department is independent of business management, has the
authority to communicate directly to the Audit Committee, and reports to that
committee on a quarterly basis.
    Primary responsibility for compliance with all applicable regulatory
requirements rests with senior management of the business and infrastructure
groups, and extends to all employees. The compliance department's activities
support those groups, with particular emphasis on those regulatory
requirements that govern the relationship between CIBC and its clients and
those requirements that help protect the integrity of the capital markets.
Specific activities that assist the business and infrastructure groups include
communication of regulatory requirements, advice, training, testing and
monitoring, and reporting and escalation of control deficiencies and
regulatory risks.

    ACCOUNTING AND CONTROL MATTERS
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Critical accounting policies and estimates

    A summary of significant accounting policies is presented in Note 1 to
the 2007 consolidated financial statements.
    Certain accounting policies of CIBC are critical to understanding the
results of operations and financial condition of CIBC. These critical
accounting policies require management to make certain judgments and
estimates, some of which may relate to matters that are uncertain. For a
description of the judgments and estimates involved in the application of
critical accounting policies and assumptions made for pension and other
benefit plans, see pages 74 to 77 of the 2007 Annual Accountability Report.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------Much of our structured credit run-off business requires the application
of valuation techniques using non-market observable inputs. Indicative broker
quotes in an inactive market, which we consider to be non-market observable,
are primarily used for the initial valuation of these positions.
    After arriving at these valuations, we consider whether a credit
valuation adjustment is required to recognize the risk that any given
counterparty, from whom we have purchased protection through credit
derivatives, may not ultimately be able to fulfill its obligations. This risk
applies to all counterparties, including financial guarantors.
    With respect to our credit valuation adjustments regarding financial
guarantor obligations (excluding ACA), we continued to refine our valuation
methodologies to reflect market developments. Our valuation adjustments
continue to be driven off market observed credit spreads for each of the
financial guarantor counterparties, where such information is available. These
spreads are applied in relation to the weighted average life of the underlying
instruments protected by these guarantors, while considering the probabilities
of default derived from these spreads. Furthermore our approach takes into
account the correlation between the performance of the underlying assets and
the financial guarantors.
    With respect to all other derivative counterparty exposures, we continue
to use a methodology that utilizes historical default rates in our calculation
of the credit valuation adjustment. In the prior quarter, we added $50 million
to the calculated adjustment amount to reflect the deterioration in general
credit conditions and this amount has been maintained in the current quarter.
    Our unhedged structured credit exposures (USRMM and non-USRMM) are
sensitive to changes in MTM, generally as derived from indicative broker
quotes as described above. A 10% adverse change in mark-to-market of the
underlyings would result in a loss of approximately $5 million in our unhedged
USRMM portfolio and $118 million in our non-USRMM portfolio, before index
hedges.
    The credit valuation allowance applied to our hedged portfolio is
sensitive to changes in both the MTM of the protected instruments and to
changes in credit spreads of the financial guarantors for that portion of the
portfolio that is hedged with those guarantors. A 10% adverse change in
mark-to-market of our hedged USRMM and non-USRMM positions would, primarily
through an increase in credit valuation adjustment for financial guarantors
(excluding ACA), result in a loss of approximately $151 million and
$94 million respectively, before credit hedges.
    The impact of a 10% widening in financial guarantor credit spreads would
result in an increase in the credit valuation adjustments of approximately
$184 million, before credit hedges.

    Risk factors related to fair value adjustments

    We believe that we have made appropriate fair value adjustments and have
taken appropriate write-downs to date. 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. The levels of fair value adjustments and the
amount of the write-downs could be changed as events warrant.
    We have policies that set standards governing the independent
verification of prices of traded instruments at a minimum on a monthly basis.
Where lack of adequate price discovery in the market results in non-compliance
for a particular position, management is required to assess the need for an
appropriate valuation adjustment to address valuation uncertainties arising
therefrom.

    Effective November 1, 2007, we adopted the amended CICA EIC 46,
"Leveraged Leases", which was based upon the Financial Accounting Standards
Board Staff Position FAS 13-2, "Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in
the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged
Lease Transaction".
    The EIC requires that a change in the estimated timing of the cash flows
relating to income taxes results in a recalculation of the timing of income
recognition from the leveraged lease. The adoption resulted in a $66 million
charge to opening retained earnings as at November 1, 2007. An amount
approximating this non-cash charge will be recognized into income over the
remaining lease terms using the effective interest rate method.

    Capital disclosures

    Effective November 1, 2007, we adopted the CICA handbook section 1535,
"Capital Disclosures," which requires an entity to disclose its objectives,
policies and processes for managing capital as well as disclosure of summary
quantitative information about what an entity manages as capital.

    Financial instruments

    Effective November 1, 2007, we adopted the CICA handbook sections 3862
"Financial Instruments - Disclosures" and 3863 "Financial Instruments -
Presentation".
    These sections replace CICA handbook section 3861 "Financial Instruments
- Disclosure and Presentation", and enhance disclosure requirements on the
nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments and how the
entity manages those risks.

    Controls and procedures

    Disclosure controls and procedures

    CIBC's management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness, as at July 31,
2008, of CIBC's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the rules of
the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators) and has concluded that
such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

    Changes in internal control over financial reporting

    There have been no changes in CIBC's internal control over financial
reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2008 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control
over financial reporting.CIBC INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The accompanying notes and shaded sections in "MD&A - Management of
    risk" on pages 30 to 40 are an integral part of these consolidated
    financial statements.


    NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

    The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Canadian
    Imperial Bank of Commerce and its subsidiaries (CIBC) have been prepared
    in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
    (GAAP). These financial statements follow the same accounting policies
    and their methods of application as CIBC's consolidated financial
    statements for the year-ended October 31, 2007, except as noted below.
    CIBC's interim consolidated financial statements do not include all
    disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements
    and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
    financial statements for the year-ended October 31, 2007, as set out on
    pages 84 to 137 of the 2007 Annual Accountability Report.

    1.  Change in accounting policy

    Leveraged leases

    Effective November 1, 2007, we adopted the amended Canadian Institute of
    Chartered Accountants (CICA) Emerging Issues Committee Abstract (EIC) 46,
    "Leveraged Leases", which was based upon the Financial Accounting
    Standards Board Staff Position FAS 13-2, "Accounting for a Change or
    Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes
    Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction". The EIC requires that a
    change in the estimated timing of the cash flows relating to income taxes
    results in a recalculation of the timing of income recognition from the
    leveraged lease.

    The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $66 million charge to opening
    retained earnings as at November 1, 2007. An amount approximating this
    non-cash charge will be recognized into income over the remaining lease
    terms using the effective interest rate method.

    Capital disclosures

    Effective November 1, 2007, we adopted the CICA handbook section 1535,
    "Capital Disclosures", which requires an entity to disclose its
    objectives, policies, and processes for managing capital. These were
    provided in Note 17 to the 2007 consolidated financial statements, and
    are unchanged from the prior year. In addition, the section requires
    disclosure of summary quantitative information about capital components.
    See Note 8 for additional details.

    Financial instruments

    Effective November 1, 2007, we adopted the CICA handbook sections 3862
    "Financial Instruments - Disclosures" and 3863 "Financial Instruments -
    Presentation".

    These sections replace the CICA handbook section 3861 "Financial
    Instruments - Disclosure and Presentation", and enhance disclosure
    requirements on the nature and extent of risks arising from financial
    instruments and how the entity manages those risks. See Note 15 for
    additional details.

    2.  Fair value of financial instruments

    Our approach for fair valuation of financial instruments is presented in
    Note 2 to the 2007 consolidated financial statements.

    Methodology and sensitivity

    Valuation techniques using non-market observable inputs are used for a
    number of financial instruments including our U.S. residential mortgage
    market (USRMM) and certain non-USRMM positions. Indicative broker quotes
    in an inactive market, which we consider to be non-market observable, are
    primarily used for the valuation of these positions. Market observed
    credit spreads where available are a key factor in establishing valuation
    adjustments against our counterparty credit exposures related to
    financial guarantors (excluding ACA).

    A 10% adverse change in mark-to-market of our unhedged USRMM and
    non-USRMM positions would result in a loss of approximately $5 million
    and $118 million respectively, before index hedges. A 10% adverse change
    in mark-to-market of our hedged USRMM and non-USRMM positions would,
    primarily through an increase in credit valuation adjustment for
    financial guarantors, result in a loss of approximately $151 million and
    $94 million respectively, before credit hedges.

    The impact of a 10% widening in financial guarantor credit spreads would
    result in an increase in the credit valuation adjustments of
    approximately $184 million, before credit hedges.

    The total recognized loss in the consolidated financial statements on the
    financial instruments outstanding as at the balance sheet date, whose
    fair value was estimated using valuation techniques using non-market
    observable inputs was $856 million for the quarter ($6.6 billion for the
    nine months ended July 31, 2008).

    Fair value option

    Financial instruments designated at fair value are those that (i) would
    otherwise be recognized in income at amortized cost, causing significant
    measurement inconsistencies with hedging derivatives and securities sold
    short carried at fair value; or (ii) are managed on a fair value basis in
    accordance with a documented trading strategy and reported to key
    management personnel on that basis.

    The fair values of the FVO designated assets and liabilities (excluding
    hedges) were $24,182 million and $2,037 million respectively as at
    July 31, 2008. The FVO designated items and related hedges resulted in a
    net income of $9 million for the quarter and $19 million for the nine
    months ended July 31, 2008.

    The gross impact of changes in credit spread on FVO designated loans was
    a $38 million loss during the quarter (loss of $180 million for the nine
    months ended July 31, 2008) and was a $24 million gain net of credit
    hedges in the quarter (gain of $14 million for the nine months ended
    July 31, 2008).

    The impact of CIBC's credit risk on outstanding FVO designated
    liabilities was a $6 million gain in the quarter ($6 million gain for the
    nine months ended July 31, 2008).

    3.  Sale of some of our U.S. businesses

    Effective January 1, 2008, we sold our U.S.-based investment banking,
    leveraged finance, equities and related debt capital markets businesses
    and our Israeli investment banking and equities businesses (the
    "transferred businesses") to Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. (Oppenheimer). The
    sale of certain other U.S. capital markets related businesses located in
    the U.K. and Asia to Oppenheimer is anticipated to close in the fourth
    quarter of 2008. In consideration, Oppenheimer provided us warrants for
    one million shares exercisable at the end of five years, and will pay us
    a minimum deferred purchase price of US$25 million at the end of five
    years based on the earnings of the transferred businesses. We provided
    indemnities in respect of certain costs that Oppenheimer may incur in
    integrating the transferred businesses.

    We wrote-off the goodwill associated with the transferred businesses,
    recognized losses on certain leasehold improvements and computer
    equipment and software, and recorded liabilities with respect to certain
    contracts that are no longer required as part of our continuing
    operations. In addition, we accelerated the recognition of the cost of
    certain restricted share awards (RSAs) granted to employees that were
    transferred to Oppenheimer.

    The RSAs issued by CIBC and held by employees transferred to Oppenheimer
    will continue to vest in accordance with their original terms. To support
    this compensation arrangement, Oppenheimer will reimburse CIBC for the
    cost of these RSAs to the extent they vest, at which time we will record
    the reimbursements in other non-interest income.

    As a result, we recorded a net pre-tax gain of $11 million ($58 million
    loss for the nine months ended July 31, 2008) in other non-interest
    income. These amounts include RSA reimbursements that became receivable
    from Oppenheimer in the second and third quarters of 2008. We also
    recorded impairment and other charges of $9 million ($22 million for the
    nine months ended July 31, 2008) in other non-interest expenses related
    to our remaining U.S. operations.

    Pursuant to the sale agreement, CIBC invested in a US$100 million
    subordinated debenture issued by Oppenheimer and is providing certain
    credit facilities to Oppenheimer and its investment banking clients to
    facilitate Oppenheimer's business, with each loan subject to approval by
    CIBC's credit committee.

    Excluding the losses noted above, the transferred businesses contributed
    the following to our results for the two months ended December 31, 2007:

    6.  Securitizations and variable interest entities

    Securitizations (residential mortgages)

    During the quarter, we securitized $10.8 billion of residential insured
    mortgages through the creation of mortgage-backed securities. We sold
    $3.0 billion to the Canada Housing Trust and retained $7.8 billion as
    inventory on our consolidated balance sheet.

    In addition, we securitized $185 million of mortgage assets to a
    qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE) that holds Prime/Alt A non-
    insured mortgages. Total assets in the QSPE as at July 31, 2008 were
    $635 million of which $112 million represent Prime mortgages and the
    remaining $523 million represent Near Prime/Alt A mortgages. We also hold
    another $28 million in inventory that is available for securitization.
    The Near Prime/Alt A mortgages do not meet traditional lending criteria
    in order to qualify for prime based lending because of either limited
    credit history or specific isolated event driven credit issues, but
    otherwise have a strong credit profile with an average loss rate over the
    past 5 years of 14 bps and an average loan-to-value ratio of 74%. We
    retained responsibility for servicing these mortgages.

    Variable interest entities (VIEs)

    As discussed in Note 6 to our 2007 consolidated financial statements, we
    have interests in certain VIEs that are not considered significant
    because our interests are hedged with other counterparties.

    Under certain total return swap credit derivative arrangements with these
    VIEs held in our trading book, we can be called upon to purchase the
    underlying reference assets at par with the simultaneous termination of
    the credit derivatives. Pursuant to these arrangements, during the third
    quarter of 2008, we purchased certain reference assets at a par amount of
    $189 million from a third-party structured vehicle in consideration for
    the termination of the remaining related total return swaps. This is in
    addition to the $6.6 billion of reference assets purchased during the
    first and second quarters from two third party structured vehicles also
    in consideration for the termination of the related total return swaps.
    The reference assets purchased were categorized as trading securities on
    our consolidated balance sheet and continue to be hedged.

    We continue to support our sponsored conduits from time to time through
    the purchase of commercial paper issued by these conduits. As at
    July 31, 2008, our direct investment in commercial paper issued by our
    sponsored conduits was $120 million. We were not considered to be the
    primary beneficiary of any of these conduits. At July 31, 2008, our
    maximum exposure to loss relating to CIBC-sponsored multi-seller conduits
    and third party structured vehicles was $9.9 billion (October 31, 2007:
    $15.1 billion) and $1.3 billion (October 31, 2007: $1.8 billion)
    respectively. The maximum exposure to loss relating to these conduits
    comprises the fair value for investments and notional amounts of
    liquidity and credit facilities.

    7.  Subordinated indebtedness

    On January 21, 2008, in accordance with their terms, we redeemed all
    $250 million of our 4.75% Debentures (subordinated indebtedness) due
    January 21, 2013, for their outstanding principal amount, plus unpaid
    interest accrued to the redemption date.

    On February 26, 2008, in accordance with their terms, we redeemed all
    $89 million of our 5.89% Debentures (subordinated indebtedness) due
    February 26, 2013, for their outstanding principal amount, plus unpaid
    interest accrued to the redemption date.

    On June 6, 2008, we issued $550 million principal amount of 5.15%
    subordinated indebtedness due June 6, 2018 and $600 million principal
    amount of 6.00% subordinated indebtedness due June 6, 2023.

    8.  Share capital

    Regulatory capital and ratios

    Commencing November 1, 2007, our regulatory capital requirements are
    based on the Basel II framework. Refer to "Management of risk" section of
    the MD&A for additional details on Basel II.

    Bank for International Settlements standards require that banks maintain
    minimum Tier 1 and Total capital ratios of 4% and 8%, respectively. The
    Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions has established
    that Canadian deposit-taking financial institutions maintain Tier 1 and
    Total capital ratios of at least 7% and 10%, respectively. During the
    quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2008, we have complied with these
    regulatory capital requirements.

    Tier 1 capital comprised common shares excluding short trading positions
    in our own shares, retained earnings, preferred shares, non-controlling
    interests, contributed surplus, and foreign currency translation
    adjustments. Goodwill and gains on sale upon securitization were deducted
    from Tier 1 capital. Tier 2 capital comprised subordinated debt and
    eligible general allowance. Commencing November 1, 2007, the investment
    in insurance subsidiaries and pre-2007 substantial investments were
    deducted from Tier 2 capital. Both Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital were subject
    to certain other deductions on a 50/50 basis.

    Our capital ratios and assets-to-capital multiple are presented in the
    following table. The information as at July 31, 2008 is based on Basel II
    requirements and information for October 31, 2007 is based upon Basel I
    requirements, and hence the information is not comparable.

    Common shares

    During the first quarter of 2008, we issued 45.3 million common shares
    for net cash proceeds of $2.9 billion, after issuance costs, net of tax,
    of $32 million. We also issued 0.2 million common shares for $11 million,
    pursuant to stock option plans.

    During the second quarter, we issued 0.2 million common shares for
    $8 million, pursuant to stock option plans. We also incurred additional
    issuance costs net of tax of $1 million related to common shares issued
    for cash.

    During the third quarter we issued 0.1 million common shares for
    $4 million, pursuant to stock option plans.

    9.  Financial guarantors

    We have derivative contracts with financial guarantors to hedge our
    exposure on various reference assets, including collateralized debt
    obligations and other positions related to the USRMM. During the quarter,
    we recorded a charge of US$102 million ($104 million) on our exposures
    hedged by ACA. We have increased our valuation adjustments by
    US$12 million ($12 million) against the receivable from ACA for unmatched
    purchased credit derivatives, bringing the total valuation adjustments
    for ACA to US$3.02 billion ($3.09 billion) as at July 31, 2008. With the
    restructuring of ACA on August 7, 2008 as discussed in the MD&A, we have
    reduced our credit valuation adjustments against ACA resulting in a
    credit to earnings of US$11 million ($11 million). As a result, the fair
    value of derivative contracts with ACA net of valuation adjustments was
    US$41 million ($42 million) as at July 31, 2008.

    We also recorded a charge of US$799 million ($800 million) on the hedging
    contracts provided by other financial guarantors to increase their
    related valuation adjustments to US$3.0 billion ($3.0 billion) as at
    July 31, 2008. The fair value of derivative contracts with other
    financial guarantors net of valuation adjustments was US$2.9 billion
    ($2.9 billion).

    The amount of the charge is based on the estimated fair value of the
    derivative contracts, which in turn is based on market value of the
    underlying reference assets.

    During the quarter, our methodology in establishing valuation adjustments
    against our counterparty credit exposures related to financial guarantors
    (excluding ACA) continued to be refined to reflect industry best
    practices and market developments.

    We believe that we have made appropriate fair value adjustments to date.
    The establishment of fair value adjustments involves estimates that are
    based on accounting processes and judgments by management. We evaluate
    the adequacy of the fair value adjustments on an ongoing basis. Market
    and economic conditions relating to these counterparties may change in
    the future, which could result in significant future losses.

    10. Income taxes

    At the end of the quarter, our future income tax asset was $1.3 billion,
    net of a US$82 million ($84 million) valuation allowance. Included in the
    future income tax asset are $954 million related to a Canadian non-
    capital loss carryforward which expires in 20 years, and $68 million
    related to a Canadian capital loss carryforward which has no expiry date.
    Accounting standards require a valuation allowance when it is more likely
    than not that all or a portion of a future income tax asset will not be
    realized prior to its expiration. Although realization is not assured, we
    believe that based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not
    that all of the future income tax asset, net of the valuation allowance,
    will be realized.

    14. Segmented information

    CIBC has two strategic business lines: CIBC Retail Markets and CIBC World
    Markets. These business lines are supported by five functional groups -
    Administration, Technology and Operations; Corporate Development;
    Finance; Legal and Regulatory Compliance; and Treasury and Risk
    Management. The activities of these functional groups are included within
    Corporate and Other, with their revenue, expenses and balance sheet
    resources generally being allocated to the business lines.

    In the first quarter of 2008: (a) we moved commercial banking from CIBC
    World Markets to CIBC Retail Markets. Prior period information was
    restated; (b) We allocated the general allowance for credit losses
    between the strategic business lines (CIBC Retail Markets and CIBC World
    Markets). Prior to 2008, the general allowance (excluding FirstCaribbean
    International Bank) was included within Corporate and Other. Prior period
    information was not restated; and (c) We reclassified the allowance for
    credit losses related to the undrawn credit facilities to other
    liabilities. Prior to 2008, it was included in allowance for credit
    losses. Prior period information was not restated.
