PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
TCF Financial Corporation ("TCF Financial", "TCF" or the "Company"), a
Delaware corporation based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with $7.1 billion in
assets, is the holding company of four federally chartered savings banks, TCF
Bank Minnesota fsb ("TCF Minnesota"), TCF Bank Illinois fsb ("TCF Illinois"),
TCF Bank Wisconsin fsb ("TCF Wisconsin") and Great Lakes Bancorp, A Federal
Savings Bank ("Great Lakes"), and one state chartered savings bank, Bank of
Chicago, s.b. ("BOC"). TCF Wisconsin and TCF Illinois are wholly owned
subsidiaries of TCF Minnesota, the largest savings bank and third largest
depository institution headquartered in Minnesota. BOC is a wholly owned
subsidiary of TCF Illinois. Unless otherwise indicated, references herein to
TCF include its direct and indirect subsidiaries. TCF Minnesota, TCF Illinois,
TCF Wisconsin and Great Lakes are collectively referred to herein as the "TCF
Banks." References herein to the "Holding Company" or "TCF Financial" refer to
TCF Financial Corporation on an unconsolidated basis. Where information is
incorporated in this report by reference to TCF's 1996 Annual Report, only those
portions specifically identified are so incorporated.
TCF Financial was organized in 1987 as a thrift holding company, and its
common stock has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1989. The TCF
Banks are in the process of converting to national banks and TCF Financial has
filed an application to become a bank holding company. See "REGULATION --
Recent Developments."
TCF has positioned the TCF Banks as "community banks" focusing on lending,
deposit products and other services offered in their local markets and has
significantly expanded their consumer lending activities, including home equity
lending. TCF's strategic emphasis on retail banking has allowed it to fund its
assets primarily with retail core deposits, significantly reduce wholesale
borrowings and lower its interest-rate risk. TCF Minnesota is also engaged in
consumer finance lending through its consumer finance subsidiaries.
TCF's marketing strategy emphasizes attracting deposits held in checking,
passbook and statement savings, and money market accounts, which also provide
TCF with a significant source of fee income. TCF engages in commercial,
residential and consumer lending activities, and in the insurance services
business, including the sale of single premium tax-deferred annuities. It also
has a broker dealer selling non-proprietary mutual funds. TCF's lending
activities emphasize consumer and residential mortgage loans.
On January 16, 1997, TCF completed its purchase of BOC Financial
Corporation, an Illinois-based bank holding company with $183.1 million in
assets and $168 million in deposits. BOC Financial Corporation is the parent
company of BOC which operates three branch offices in the Chicago area. TCF
accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting.
On February 8, 1995, TCF completed its acquisition of Great Lakes, a
Michigan-based savings bank with $2.8 billion in assets, $1.6 billion in
deposits, 39 offices in Michigan and five offices in western Ohio. As a
result of the acquisition, Great Lakes was merged into TCF's existing
Michigan-based wholly owned savings bank subsidiary, TCF Bank Michigan fsb
("TCF Michigan"). The resulting savings bank is operated as a direct
subsidiary of TCF Financial and retained the Great Lakes name and
headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In connection with its acquisition of
Great Lakes, TCF issued approximately 9.7 million shares of its common stock
for all of the outstanding common shares of Great Lakes. In addition, each
outstanding share of Great Lakes preferred stock was exchanged for one share
of TCF preferred stock with substantially identical terms. On July 3, 1995,
TCF exercised its right of redemption on its 2.7 million shares of preferred
stock at $10 per share. TCF also assumed the obligation to issue common
stock upon the exercise or conversion of the outstanding warrants to purchase
Great Lakes common stock (which expired on July 1, 1995), the outstanding
employee and director options to purchase Great Lakes common stock and the
outstanding 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2011 of Great
Lakes. This acquisition was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests
combination and, accordingly, TCF's consolidated financial statements have
been restated to include the accounts and results of operations of Great
Lakes for all periods presented, except for dividends declared per-share.
There were no material intercompany transactions prior to the acquisition.
In connection with the acquisition, an after-tax merger-related charge of
$32.8 million was incurred during the 1995 first quarter. Additional
information concerning the Great Lakes acquisition is set forth in Note 2 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 40 of TCF's 1996 Annual
Report, incorporated herein by reference.

<PAGE>
TCF operated 73 bank branches in Minnesota at December 31, 1996. The
Company also operated 31 bank branches in Illinois, 27 in Wisconsin, 57 in
Michigan and eight in Ohio at December 31, 1996. TCF strives to develop
innovative banking products and services. Of TCF's 196 bank branches, 47 were
"in-store" bank branches at December 31, 1996. These in-store bank branches
provide TCF with the opportunity to sell its consumer products and services,
including deposits and loans, at a relatively low entry cost and feature
extended hours, including Saturdays and Sundays. TCF's "Totally Free"SM
checking accounts and other deposit products provide it with a significant
source of low-cost funds and fee income. TCF has expanded its automated teller
machine ("ATM") network to 917 machines and offers its customers a telephone
accessible voice communication system.
On February 28, 1997, TCF and Winthrop Resources Corporation ("Winthrop")
signed a definitive merger agreement for TCF to acquire Winthrop in a
tax-free stock-for-stock exchange. Winthrop, with leased assets of $327
million, specializes in leasing high-tech and business equipment. The merger
is subject to approval by TCF's and Winthrop's stockholders and by various
regulatory agencies, and treatment of the transaction as a pooling of
interests for accounting purposes. The merger is expected to be completed in
the first half of 1997. TCF has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K relating
to this transaction which is incorporated by reference. See Part IV Item
14(b).
On March 17, 1997, TCF and Standard Financial, Inc. ("Standard")
announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement for TCF to acquire
Standard. Standard is a community-oriented thrift institution with $2.4
billion in assets and 14 full-service offices on the southwest side of
Chicago and in the nearby southwestern and western suburbs. For Standard's
stockholders, the transaction will be structured as a cash election merger in
which holders of Standard's common stock will have the right to choose either
cash or TCF common stock, or a combination of the two. The transaction will
be a tax-free exchange for Standard's stockholders to the extent they receive
shares of TCF common stock. The merger is subject to approval by Standard's
stockholders, and required regulatory filings and approvals. The merger is
expected to close in the third quarter of 1997 and be accounted for as a
purchase transaction. TCF has filed a Current Report on Form 8-K relating to
this transaction which is incorporated by reference. See Part IV Item 14(b).
In recent years, significant new federal legislation has imposed numerous
new legal and regulatory requirements on thrift institutions. Among the most
significant of these requirements are new minimum regulatory capital levels and
enforcement actions that can be taken by regulators when an institution's
regulatory capital is deemed to be inadequate. Each of the TCF Banks currently
exceeds all of the current and fully phased-in regulatory capital requirements.
See "REGULATION."
In addition to the uncertainties posed by possible legislative change,
there are many other uncertainties that may make TCF's historical performance an
unreliable indicator of its future performance, and forward-looking information,
including projections of future performance, is subject to numerous possible
adverse developments, including but not limited to the possibility of adverse
economic developments which may increase default and delinquency risks in TCF's
loan portfolios; shifts in interest rates which may result in shrinking interest
margins; deposit outflows; interest rates on competing investments; demand for
financial services and loan products; increases generally in competitive
pressure in the banking and financial services industry; changes in accounting
policies or guidelines, or monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal
government; changes in the quality or composition of TCF's loan and investment
portfolios; or other significant uncertainties.
TCF's pending acquisitions are subject to additional uncertainties,
including the possibility that the transactions may not be completed or, if
completed, the possible failure to fully realize or realize within the
expected time frame expected cost savings from the transactions; lower than
expected income or revenues following the transactions, or higher than
expected operating costs; business disruption relating to the transactions
(both before and after completion); greater than expected costs or
difficulties related to the integration of the management of the acquired
companies with that of TCF; litigation costs and delays caused by litigation;
higher than expected costs in completing the acquisitions or unanticipated
regulatory delays or constraints or changes in the proposed transactions
imposed by regulatory authorities; declines in TCF's common stock price which
permit the acquired company to elect not to proceed with the transaction;
and other unanticipated occurrences which may delay consummation of the
transactions, increase in the costs related to the transactions or decrease
the expected financial benefits of the transactions.
As federally chartered savings banks, the TCF Banks are subject to
regulation and examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). The TCF
Banks' deposits are insured to $100,000 by the FDIC, and as such these
institutions are subject to regulations promulgated by the FDIC. The TCF Banks
are variously members of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Des Moines,
Chicago and/or Indianapolis. TCF Financial is a thrift holding company under
the Home Owners' Loan Act ("HOLA") and is subject to regulation and examination
by the OTS and, in certain cases, by the FDIC. See "REGULATION -- Regulation of
TCF Financial and Affiliate and Insider Transactions." The executive
2

offices of TCF Financial are located at 801 Marquette Avenue, Suite 302,
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402. Its telephone number is (612) 661-6500.
The following description includes detailed information regarding the business
of TCF and its subsidiaries.
LENDING ACTIVITIES
GENERAL
TCF's lending activities reflect its community banking philosophy,
emphasizing loans to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses in its
primary market areas in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. In recent
years, TCF has expanded its consumer lending and consumer finance operations.
The following table sets forth the contractual amortization of TCF's loan
portfolios at December 31, 1996, excluding loans held for sale. Commercial
business demand loans are reported due within one year. This table does not
include the effect of prepayments, which is an important consideration in
management's interest-rate risk analysis. Industry experience indicates that
loans remain outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their
contractual terms.

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING
TCF's residential real estate lending activities (first mortgage loans for
the financing of one- to four-family homes) are conducted through certain of the
TCF Banks and through TCF Mortgage Corporation ("TCF Mortgage"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of TCF Minnesota. Residential mortgage loan originations are
predominantly secured by properties in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Michigan. TCF engages in both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate residential real
estate lending. Adjustable-rate residential real estate loans held in TCF's
portfolio totaled $987.6 million at December 31, 1996, compared with $1.1
billion at December 31, 1995.
Loan originations by TCF Mortgage include loans purchased from loan
correspondents and also loans purchased from Burnet Home Loans (previously known
as "Great Lakes Mortgage"), a mortgage origination joint venture between a
subsidiary of TCF Mortgage and Burnet Mortgage Corporation, an affiliate of
Burnet Realty Inc. Burnet Home Loans loan officers originate loans from certain
offices of Burnet Realty Inc. Burnet Home Loans continues to operate and do
business as Great Lakes Mortgage.
3
<PAGE>
TCF sells residential real estate loans in the secondary market, primarily
on a nonrecourse basis. TCF retains servicing rights for the majority of the
loans it sells into the secondary market. These sales provide additional funds
for loan originations and also generate fee income. TCF may also from time to
time purchase or sell servicing rights on residential real estate loan
portfolios. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, TCF serviced for others $4.5
billion in residential real estate loans and loan participations. There were no
sales of servicing rights on loans serviced for others during 1996. During 1995
and 1994, TCF sold servicing rights on $146.3 million and $169 million of loans
serviced for others at net gains of $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
TCF serviced residential real estate loans for its own account, including loans
held for sale, of $2.3 billion at December 31, 1996.
Adjustable-rate residential real estate loans originated by TCF have
various adjustment periods and generally provide for limitations on the amount
the rate may adjust on each adjustment date, as well as the total amount of
adjustments over the lives of the loans. Accordingly, while this portfolio of
loans is rate sensitive, it may not be as rate sensitive as TCF's cost of funds.
In addition to such interest-rate risk, TCF faces credit risks resulting from
potential increased costs to borrowers as a result of rate adjustments on
adjustable-rate loans in its portfolio, which will depend upon the magnitude and
frequency of shifts in market interest rates. Some adjustable-rate residential
real estate loans originated by TCF in prior periods did not provide for
limitations on rate adjustments. Credit risk may also result from declines in
the values of underlying real estate collateral. See "-- Classified Assets,
Loan Delinquencies and Defaults."
TCF Mortgage and the TCF Banks generally adhere to Federal National
Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"),
Veterans Administration ("VA") or Federal Housing Administration ("FHA")
guidelines in originating residential real estate loans. TCF generally requires
that all conventional real estate loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of
80% carry private mortgage insurance.
CONSUMER LENDING
GENERAL
TCF makes consumer loans for personal, family or household purposes, such
as debt consolidation or the financing of home improvements, automobiles,
vacations and education. All of TCF's consumer loans are originated in markets
in which the TCF Banks or TCF's three consumer finance subsidiaries (TCF
Financial Services, Inc., TCF Consumer Financial Services, Inc. and TCF Real
Estate Financial Services, Inc., which are collectively referred to herein as
the "Consumer Finance Subsidiaries") have their offices. Total consumer loans
for the TCF Banks and the Consumer Finance Subsidiaries totaled $1.8 billion at
December 31, 1996, with $582 million, or 32% having fixed interest rates and
$1.2 billion, or 68% having adjustable interest rates. The following
discussion provides additional information on TCF's consumer lending operations.
BANK CONSUMER DIVISION LENDING
The consumer lending activities of the TCF Banks include a full range of
consumer-oriented products including real estate secured loans, loans secured by
personal property and unsecured personal loans. Each of these loan types can be
made on an open- or closed-end basis. TCF also engages in the origination of
consumer loans through the use of loan brokers. Consumer loans having
adjustable interest rates present a credit risk similar to that posed by
residential real estate loans as a result of increased costs to borrowers in the
event of a rise in rates (see discussion above under "-- Residential Real Estate
Lending"). Consumer loans secured by real estate may present additional credit
risk in the event of a decline in the value of real estate collateral.
TCF originates student loans for resale. TCF had $145.8 million of
education loans held for sale at December 31, 1996, compared with $163.2 million
at December 31, 1995. TCF generally retains the student loans it originates
until they are fully disbursed. Under a forward commitment agreement with the
Student Loan Marketing Association ("SLMA"), TCF can sell the student loans to
SLMA once they are fully disbursed, but must sell the student loans to SLMA
before they go into repayment status. These loans are originated in accordance
with designated guarantor and U.S. Department of Education guidelines and do not
involve any independent credit underwriting by TCF. During the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, TCF sold $102.8 million, $91 million and
$80.3 million of its student loans, respectively. TCF subcontracts for the
servicing of student loans in its portfolio. TCF's future student loan
origination activity will be dependent on continued support of guaranteed
student loan programs by the U.S. Government and TCF's ability to continue to
sell such loans to SLMA or other parties. Recent federal legislation has
limited the role
4
<PAGE>
of private lenders in originating student loans, and this may reduce the volume
of TCF's student loan originations in future periods.
CONSUMER FINANCE LENDING
TCF engages in consumer finance lending through the Consumer Finance
Subsidiaries. TCF has significantly expanded its consumer finance operations in
recent periods and had 61 consumer finance offices in 16 states as of December
31, 1996. Additional information concerning the geographic locations of TCF's
consumer finance loan portfolio is set forth in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements on pages 43 and 44 of TCF's 1996 Annual Report,
incorporated herein by reference. TCF's consumer finance loan portfolio totaled
$496.3 million at December 31, 1996, compared with $374.4 million at December
31, 1995. The Company intends to concentrate on increasing the total
outstanding loan balances at its existing consumer finance offices and improving
the profitability of its Consumer Finance Subsidiaries before considering any
further office expansion of this operation. See "Financial Review -- Financial
Condition - Loans" on pages 24 through 26 of TCF's 1996 Annual Report,
incorporated herein by reference for additional information regarding the
operations of the Consumer Finance Subsidiaries.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING
TCF currently originates longer-term loans on commercial real estate and,
to a lesser extent, shorter-term construction loans. Although TCF's commercial
real estate lending activity has declined in recent years, primarily as a result
of more stringent underwriting standards and competition from other lenders, TCF
is endeavoring to increase its originations of commercial real estate loans to
creditworthy borrowers. TCF's commercial real estate loans are generally
originated with adjustable interest rates, but TCF also offers shorter-term
loans at fixed rates. At December 31, 1996, adjustable-rate loans represented
80% of commercial real estate loans outstanding. At December 31, 1996, TCF had
a total of 1,505 outstanding commercial real estate loans secured by properties
located in its primary markets. Of this total, 212 loans totaling $479.9
million had balances exceeding $1 million. At December 31, 1996, the average
individual balance of commercial real estate loans was $556,000. See "Financial
Review -- Financial Condition - Loans" on pages 24 through 26 of TCF's 1996
Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, for information regarding the
types of properties securing TCF's commercial real estate loans.
TCF's current strategy, consistent with its credit quality standards, is to
focus its commercial lending activities on borrowers based in its primary
markets. Due to TCF's increasing emphasis on lending to small to medium-sized
businesses in its market areas, the portion of its commercial real estate loan
portfolio secured by properties located in its primary markets had increased to
93% at December 31, 1996.
At December 31, 1996, TCF's commercial construction and development loan
portfolio totaled $58.4 million. Construction and permanent commercial real
estate lending is generally considered to involve a higher level of risk than
single-family residential lending due to the concentration of principal in a
limited number of loans and borrowers. In addition, the nature of these loans
is such that they are generally less predictable and more difficult to evaluate
and monitor. Construction and permanent commercial real estate lending is also
highly dependent on economic conditions, which in certain markets are not
favorable for this type of lending activity. TCF's risk of loss on a
construction and development loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the
initial estimate of the property's value at completion of the project and the
estimated cost (including interest) of the project. If the estimate of
construction or development cost proves to be inaccurate or if economic
conditions change, TCF may be required to advance funds beyond the amount
originally committed to permit completion of the project. If the estimate of
value proves to be inaccurate at any time before or after maturity, TCF's loan
may be secured by a project having a value which is insufficient to assure full
repayment. Borrowers, which are often limited partnerships formed to purchase a
specific property, may receive limited cash flow from the property, be unable to
service the total debt, and as a result fail to make required loan payments.
COMMERCIAL BUSINESS LENDING
TCF engages in general commercial business lending. Commercial business
loans may be secured by various types of business assets, including commercial
real estate, and in some cases may be made on an unsecured basis. At December
31, 1996, TCF had $156.7 million in commercial business loans outstanding, with
an average individual balance of $228,000.
5
<PAGE>
TCF is seeking to expand its commercial business lending activity by
lending to small and medium-sized businesses and professionals through the TCF
Banks. TCF's commercial business lending activities encompass loans with a
broad variety of purposes, including corporate working capital loans and loans
to finance the purchase of equipment or other acquisitions. TCF also makes
loans to individuals who use the funds for business or personal purposes. As
part of its commercial business and commercial real estate lending activities,
TCF also issues standby letters of credit. At December 31, 1996, TCF had 75
such standby letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $24.1
million.
Recognizing the generally increased risks associated with commercial
business lending, TCF originates commercial business loans in order to increase
its short-term, variable-rate asset base and to contribute to its profitability
through the higher rates earned on these loans and the marketing of other bank
products. TCF concentrates on originating commercial business loans primarily
to middle-market companies based in its primary markets with borrowing
requirements of less than $15 million. Approximately 97% of TCF's commercial
business loans outstanding at December 31, 1996 were to borrowers based in its
primary markets.
CLASSIFIED ASSETS, LOAN DELINQUENCIES AND DEFAULTS
TCF has established a classification system for individual commercial loans
or other assets based on OTS regulations under which all or part of a loan or
other asset may be classified as "substandard," "doubtful," "loss" or "special
mention." It has also established overall ratings for various credit
portfolios. A loan or other asset is placed in the substandard category when it
is considered to have a well-defined weakness. A loan or other asset is placed
in the doubtful category when some loss is likely but there is still sufficient
uncertainty to permit the asset to remain on the books at its full value. All
or a portion of a loan or other asset is classified as loss when it is
considered uncollectible, in which case it is generally charged off. In some
cases, loans or other assets for which there is perceived some possible exposure
to credit loss are classified as special mention. Loans and other assets that
are classified are subject to periodic review of their appropriate regulatory
classifications. See "REGULATION -- Classification of Assets."
The following table summarizes information about TCF's non-accrual,
restructured and past due loans:

</TABLE>
The allowances for loan and real estate losses and industrial revenue bond
reserves are based upon management's periodic analysis of TCF's loan portfolio,
industrial revenue bond financial guarantees and real estate holdings. Although
appropriate levels of reserves have been estimated based upon factors and trends
identified by management, there can be no assurance that the levels are
adequate. Economic stagnation or reversals in the economy could give rise to
increasing risk of credit losses and necessitate an increase in the required
level of reserves. The expansion in the Company's consumer finance operation,
and in particular the emphasis on sub-prime automobile lending, creates
increased exposure to increases in delinquencies, repossessions, foreclosures
and losses that generally occur during economic downturns or recessions.
Adverse economic developments are also likely to adversely affect
commercial lending operations and increase the risk of loan defaults and credit
losses on such loans. Carrying values of foreclosed commercial real estate
properties are based on appraisals, prepared by certified appraisers, whenever
possible. TCF reviews each external commercial real estate appraisal it
receives for accuracy, completeness and reasonableness of assumptions used.
Renewed weaknesses in real estate markets may result in further declines in
property values and the sale of properties at less than previously estimated
values, resulting in additional charge-offs. TCF recognizes the effect of such
events in the periods in which they occur.
Additional information concerning TCF's allowances for loan and real estate
losses and industrial revenue bond reserves is set forth in "Financial Review --
Financial Condition - Allowances for Loan and Real Estate Losses and Industrial
Revenue Bond Reserves" on pages 26 and 27, in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements on pages 38 through 40 of TCF's 1996 Annual Report and in
Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 45 of TCF's 1996
Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES
The TCF Banks have authority to invest in various types of liquid assets,
including United States Treasury obligations and securities of various federal
agencies, certificates of deposit at insured banks, bankers' acceptances and
federal funds. The TCF Banks must maintain minimum levels of liquid assets
specified by the OTS. These minimum levels are subject to change. Liquidity
may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and
comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. The TCF
Banks must also meet reserve requirements of the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB"),
which are imposed based on amounts on deposit in various types of deposit
categories. See "REGULATION -- Liquidity and Reserve Requirements."

In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
a Special Report entitled "A Guide to Implementation of Statement No. 115 on
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." In
conjunction with the issuance of the Guide, the FASB provided entities with a
one-time opportunity to reassess the classification of their held-to-maturity
debt securities without calling into question the entities' intent to hold to
maturity their remaining portfolio of such securities. During the 1995 fourth
quarter, TCF reassessed the balance sheet classifications of its mortgage-backed
securities. As a result, TCF reclassified its remaining $1.1 billion in
mortgage-backed securities from "held to maturity" to "available for sale"
effective December 31, 1995. This reclassification allowed for increased
asset/liability management flexibility. Unrealized gains on securities
available for sale, reported net of taxes as a separate component of
stockholders' equity, increased by $12.8 million as a result of this
reclassification.

SOURCES OF FUNDS
DEPOSITS
Deposits are the primary source of TCF's funds for use in lending and for
other general business purposes. Deposit inflows and outflows are significantly
influenced by economic conditions, interest rates, money market conditions and
other factors. Demand for certain types of deposit products, such as
certificates of deposit, has declined in recent periods. Higher-cost borrowings
may be used to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds, such as
deposit inflows at less than projected levels or net deposit outflows, or to
support expanded activities.
Consumer and commercial deposits are attracted principally from within
TCF's primary market areas through the offering of a broad selection of deposit
instruments including consumer and commercial demand deposit accounts,
Negotiable Order of Withdrawal or "NOW" (interest-bearing checking) accounts,
money market accounts, regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit and
retirement savings plans.
The composition of TCF's deposits has a significant impact on its cost of
funds. In recent years, TCF's marketing strategy has emphasized attracting
deposits held in checking, regular savings and money market accounts. These
accounts provide significant fee income and are a source of low-interest cost
funds. Checking, savings and money market accounts comprised 53% of total
deposits at December 31, 1996, up from 49% of total deposits at both December
31, 1995 and December 31, 1994. In addition, there were approximately 1.1
million retail checking, savings and money market accounts at December 31, 1996,
compared with approximately 1 million and 985,000 such accounts at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively. Total deposits at TCF as of December 31, 1996 were
$5 billion, down $213.9 million from total deposits at December 31, 1995. The
decrease in deposits partially reflects the sale of five branches, and run-off
of certificates of deposit.

BORROWINGS
The FHLB System functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for
thrift institutions through a regional bank located within a particular thrift's
assigned region. As members of the FHLB System, the TCF Banks are required to
own a minimum level of FHLB capital stock and are authorized to apply for
advances on the security of such stock and certain of their loans and other
assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the
United States Government), provided certain standards related to
creditworthiness have been met. TCF's FHLB advances totaled $1.1 billion at
December 31, 1996, compared with $893.6 million at December 31, 1995. FHLB
advances are made pursuant to several different credit programs. Each credit
program has its own interest rates and range of maturities. The FHLB prescribes
the acceptable uses to which the advances pursuant to each program may be made
as well as limitations on the size of advances. Acceptable uses prescribed by
the FHLB have included expansion of residential mortgage lending and meeting
short-term liquidity needs. In addition to the program limitations, the amounts
of advances for which an institution may be eligible are generally based on the
FHLB's assessment of the institution's creditworthiness. See "REGULATION --
Federal Home Loan Bank System."
As an additional source of funds, TCF may sell securities subject to its
obligation to repurchase these securities under repurchase agreements ("reverse
repurchase agreements") with the FHLMC or major investment bankers utilizing
government securities or mortgage-backed securities as collateral. Reverse
repurchase agreements totaled $293.7 million at December 31, 1996, compared
with $438.4 million at December 31, 1995. Generally, securities with a value in
excess of the amount borrowed are required to be deposited as collateral with
the counterparty to a reverse repurchase agreement. The creditworthiness of the
counterparty is important in establishing that the overcollateralized amount of
securities delivered by TCF is protected and it is TCF's policy to enter into
reverse repurchase agreements only with institutions with a satisfactory credit
history.
The use of reverse repurchase agreements may expose TCF to certain risks
not associated with other sources of funds, including possible requirements to
provide additional collateral and the possibility that such agreements may not
11
<PAGE>
be renewed. If for some reason TCF were no longer able to obtain reverse
repurchase agreement financing, it would be necessary for TCF to obtain
alternative sources of short-term funds. Such alternative sources of funds, if
available, may be higher-cost substitutes for the reverse repurchase agreement
funds.
Information concerning TCF's FHLB advances, reverse repurchase agreements
and other borrowings is set forth in "Financial Review -- Financial Condition -
Borrowings" on pages 29 and 30 and in Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements on pages 49 and 50 of TCF's 1996 Annual Report, incorporated herein

OTHER INFORMATION
ACTIVITIES OF SUBSIDIARIES OF TCF FINANCIAL
TCF's business operations include those conducted by direct and indirect
subsidiaries of TCF Financial. The TCF Banks are permitted to invest an amount
equal to 2% of their assets (excluding those of its subsidiaries) in
subsidiaries called service corporations. Up to an additional 1% of assets may
be invested in certain types of community development projects. Under OTS
regulations, the ability of thrift institutions to invest an additional amount
up to 50% of their risk-based capital in conforming loans to service
corporations is tied to an institution's compliance with regulatory capital
requirements. Service corporations are authorized by regulation to engage in
various activities reasonably related to the activities of federal savings
associations as approved by the OTS. See "REGULATION -- Limitations on Certain
Investments."
In addition to investments in service corporations, the TCF Banks are also
permitted to form subsidiaries known as operating subsidiaries. Operating
subsidiaries are permitted to engage in activities permitted for federal savings
associations and are not subject to the service corporation investment
limitations. See "REGULATION -- Limitations on Certain Investments."

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
During the past several years, there has been an ongoing review of the
accounting principles and practices used by financial institutions for certain
types of transactions. This review is expected to continue by thrift and
banking regulators, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the FASB,
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") and other
organizations. As a result of this process, there have been new accounting
pronouncements which have had an impact on TCF. Further developments may be
forthcoming in light of this ongoing review process.
In June 1996, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
and Extinguishments of Liabilities." Additional information on SFAS No. 125 is
set forth in "Financial Review -- Financial Condition - Borrowings" on pages 29
and 30 of TCF's 1996 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS
No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential
common stock. SFAS No. 128 simplifies the standards for computing EPS
previously found in Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 15,
"Earnings per Share," and makes them comparable to international EPS standards.
It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.
It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to
the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in the earnings of the entity. Diluted EPS
13
<PAGE>
is computed similarly to (although not the same as) fully diluted EPS
pursuant to APB Opinion No. 15. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including
interim periods; earlier application is not permitted. SFAS No. 128 requires
restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. It is too early to
predict what effect SFAS No. 128 will have on TCF's results of operations.
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." Additional information on SFAS No. 123 is set forth in Note 1 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 38 through 40 and Note 18 of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 58 and 59 of TCF's 1996
Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.
In October 1996, the AICPA issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 96-1,
"Environmental Remediation Liabilities." SOP 96-1 provides authoritative
guidance on specific accounting issues that are present in the recognition,
measurement, display and disclosure on environmental remediation liabilities.
Financial institutions are among the industries with potential exposure to
environmental remediation liabilities. Certain transactions, including
acquisitions of real property by a creditor pursuant to default by a debtor, may
expose an entity to such liabilities. The provisions of SOP 96-1 are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1996. Earlier application is
encouraged. The effect of initially applying this SOP shall be reported as a
change in accounting estimate. Restatement of previously issued financial
statements is not permitted. Management does not believe that SOP 96-1 will
have a significant impact on TCF's financial condition or results of operations.
COMPETITION
TCF Minnesota is the largest savings bank and third largest depository
institution headquartered in Minnesota. TCF Illinois, TCF Wisconsin and Great
Lakes compete with a number of larger depository institutions in their market
areas. The TCF Banks experience significant competition in attracting and
retaining deposits and in lending funds. TCF believes the primary factors in
competing for deposits are the ability to offer attractive rates and products,
convenient office locations and supporting data processing systems and services.
Direct competition for deposits comes primarily from commercial banks and credit
unions, and from other savings institutions. Additional significant competition
for deposits comes from institutions selling money market mutual funds and
corporate and government securities. The primary factors in competing for
loans are interest rates, loan origination fees and the range of services
offered. TCF competes for origination of loans with commercial banks, mortgage
bankers, mortgage brokers, consumer finance companies, credit unions, insurance
companies and other savings institutions.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1996, TCF had approximately 4,800 employees, including
1,200 part-time employees. TCF provides its employees with a comprehensive
program of benefits, some of which are on a contributory basis, including
comprehensive medical and dental plans, life insurance, accident insurance,
short- and long-term disability coverage, a pension plan and a shared
contribution stock ownership-401(k) plan.
REGULATION
The banking industry is generally subject to extensive regulatory
oversight. TCF Financial, as a publicly-held thrift holding company, and the
TCF Banks, as federally chartered savings banks with deposits insured by the
FDIC, are subject to a number of laws and regulations. Many of these laws and
regulations have undergone significant change in recent years. These laws and
regulations impose restrictions on activities, minimum capital requirements,
lending and deposit restrictions and numerous other requirements. Future
changes to these laws and regulations are likely and cannot be predicted with
certainty.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Federal legislation enacted in September 1996 addressed a funding shortfall
that had resulted in a significant deposit insurance premium disparity between
banks insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and thrifts insured by the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). This new legislation imposed a
one-time special assessment on thrift institutions such as the TCF Banks and
provided a reduction in deposit insurance premiums in subsequent periods and
other regulatory reforms. For additional information on the one-time special
assessment, see "Financial Review --
14
<PAGE>
Financial Condition - Recent Legislative and Regulatory Developments" on
page 30 and Note 22 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 64
of TCF's 1996 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference. In other
federal legislation enacted in 1996, the reserve method of accounting for
thrift bad debt reserves was repealed, eliminating the recapture of a
thrift's bad debt reserve under certain circumstances, including a thrift
institution's conversion to a bank or similar charter changes. As a result
of these legislative changes, TCF's management elected to seek the conversion
of the TCF Banks to national banks.
In November 1996, the TCF Banks filed applications with the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") to convert to national banks, and also to
charter new national banks in Colorado and Ohio. These applications were
approved by the OCC in February 1997. In February 1997, TCF filed an
application with the FRB to become a bank holding company in connection with the
pending conversion of the TCF Banks to national banks. Applications are also
now pending with the FDIC for deposit insurance coverage for the new national
banks to be chartered by TCF. Subject to completion of the regulatory review
and approval process, TCF is seeking to consummate the conversion of the TCF
Banks to national banks and approval of TCF Financial as a bank holding company
as early as the second quarter of 1997.
Following the consummation of the conversions and other transactions
contemplated by the applications filed by TCF and the TCF Banks (referred to as
the "Bank Conversion"), these institutions will no longer be subject to
regulations of the OTS. The Bank Conversion will result in significant changes
in statutory and regulatory authority for various operations of these
institutions, including but not limited to laws and regulations governing
branching authority, insurance agency activities, dividend payment authority and
the operation of loan production offices. In some cases, these new authorities
will result in significant changes in the operations of TCF and the TCF Banks.
Among other changes following the Bank Conversion, TCF Illinois and TCF
Wisconsin will be operated as direct subsidiaries of TCF Financial as opposed to
TCF Minnesota, and TCF's annuity sales operations will become subsidiaries of
the TCF Banks as opposed to TCF Financial. The ultimate effect of these changes
cannot be predicted with complete certainty at this time.
The following discussion reviews certain significant statutory and
regulatory restrictions on the operations of TCF and the TCF Banks prior to the
Bank Conversion (primarily regulations applicable to federal and state savings
banks and to savings and loan holding companies) and also certain restrictions
following the Bank Conversion (primarily regulations applicable to national
banks and bank holding companies). The manner in which laws and regulations
relating to national banks and bank holding companies will be applied to TCF and
the TCF Banks is subject to a number of uncertainties, including completion of
the regulatory review and approval process and the fact that TCF and the TCF
Banks have not undergone an examination by either the FRB or the OCC.
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Under significant new regulatory capital requirements for thrift
institutions mandated by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and
Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), thrift institutions are required to have
"core capital" equal to no less than 3% of adjusted total assets and "tangible
capital" equal to no less than 1.5% of adjusted total assets. In addition,
thrift institutions are required to maintain "risk-based capital" equal to 8% of
risk-weighted assets.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA"),
enacted in 1991, banking and thrift regulators are required to take prompt
regulatory action against institutions which are undercapitalized. FDICIA
requires banking and thrift regulators to categorize institutions as "well
capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized." A savings institution will
be deemed to be well-capitalized if it: (i) has a total risk-based capital ratio
of 10% or greater; (ii) has a Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital ratio of 6% or
greater; (iii) has a leverage (core) ratio of 5% or greater; and (iv) is not
subject to any order or written directive by the OTS to meet and maintain a
specific capital level for any capital measure. The TCF Banks believe they
would be considered well-capitalized.
In addition to the regulatory action required to be taken with respect to
undercapitalized institutions, FDICIA also calls upon each financial institution
regulatory agency, in consultation with other federal banking agencies, to
review its capital standards at least once every two years to ensure that the
standards are sufficient to prevent or minimize loss to the deposit insurance
funds. In addition, the regulatory agencies are required to revise their
risk-based capital standards to make sure that they take adequate account of
interest-rate risk, concentration of credit risk, and the risks of
non-traditional activities. OTS regulations take into account an institution's
exposure to concentrations of credit risk and risks of non-traditional
activities in assessing the institution's overall capital adequacy. The OTS may
establish higher
15
<PAGE>
individual capital requirements for savings associations with high degrees of
exposure to interest rate risk, prepayment risk, credit risk, concentration
of credit risk, risks arising from nontraditional activities or off-balance
sheet risks, and that have demonstrated a poor record of monitoring and
controlling such risks.
Tangible capital is generally defined as core capital (see discussion
below) less intangible assets except that savings institutions may include the
same dollar amount of mortgage servicing rights in tangible capital that they
include in core capital.
Core capital generally includes par value of common stock, additional
paid-in capital, retained earnings, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and
minority interests in the equity accounts of fully consolidated subsidiaries,
less any "unidentifiable" intangible assets. Mortgage servicing rights are
exempted from the general requirement that unidentifiable intangible assets be
excluded from capital, but the amount of servicing rights includible in capital
is limited to the lower of 90% of fair market value to the extent determinable
or the current amortized book value determined under generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"). In addition, as a matter of OTS policy, the
amount of such mortgage servicing rights included in core capital may not
exceed the amount that would be included if the savings association were an
insured state non-member bank governed by the FDIC's capital regulation.
Under the risk-based capital requirement, risk-weighted assets are
determined by multiplying each of an institution's assets by specified risk
weights. Certain off-balance sheet items must be converted into on-balance
sheet equivalent amounts and then multiplied by specified risk weights.
Applicable risk weights range from 0% to 100%. Cash, certain obligations of the
federal government and similar items have a 0% risk weight. Certain government
or agency insured or guaranteed loans or securities backed by these loans are
risk-weighted at 20%. Loans secured by a first mortgage on a borrower's
principal residence and certain qualifying commercial real estate loans are
risk-weighted at 50%. Other consumer and commercial loans and other assets
generally are risk-weighted at 100%.
An institution may use "supplementary capital" to satisfy the risk-based
capital requirement in an amount up to 100% of its core capital. Supplementary
capital includes certain permanent capital instruments such as cumulative
perpetual preferred stock and certain maturing capital instruments issued
pursuant to OTS regulations.
The following table sets forth the TCF Banks' calculation of their
tangible, core and risk-based capital and applicable percentages of adjusted
assets, together with the excess over the minimum capital requirements at
December 31, 1996:

</TABLE>
The OTS has adopted an amendment to its risk-based capital requirements
that requires institutions with more than a "normal" level of interest-rate risk
to maintain additional risk-based capital. A savings institution's
interest-rate risk is measured in terms of the sensitivity of its "net
portfolio value." Net portfolio value is defined generally as the present
value of expected cash inflows from existing assets and off-balance sheet
contracts less the present value of expected cash outflows from existing
liabilities. The interest-rate risk component creates a capital requirement
based upon the decline in an institution's net portfolio value that would result
from an immediate 200 basis point increase or decrease (whichever results in the
greater decline) in prevailing interest rates. The OTS has defined as "above
normal" any decline in an institution's net portfolio value that exceeds 2% of
the present value of its assets. A savings institution with a greater
16
<PAGE>
than normal interest-rate risk is required to deduct from total capital, for
purposes of calculating its risk-based capital requirement, an amount (the
"interest-rate risk component") equal to one-half the difference between the
institution's measured interest-rate risk and the normal level of
interest-rate risk, multiplied by the present value of its total assets.
Management does not believe the interest-rate risk component will have a
significant impact on the TCF Banks' risk-based capital requirements. For
the present time, the OTS has delayed implementation of the automatic
deduction of the interest-rate risk component.
In the event a savings institution fails to comply with any of its existing
or future minimum regulatory capital requirements or applicable capital adequacy
standards, it would be required to file and implement a capital plan with the
appropriate regulatory agencies, would be subjected to restrictions on growth
and the payment of dividends, could have restrictions imposed on its ability to
form new branches, invest in service corporations or operating subsidiaries and
make equity risk investments, or be precluded from issuing securities as a means
of raising additional capital, among other negative effects. Such failure could
also permit the OTS to require that the institution subject itself to a
restrictive business plan or supervisory agreement that could impose limits on
dividends or compensation of officers and employees or impose other
restrictions. Such failure could also permit the FDIC to initiate action
resulting in the termination of deposit insurance.
Following the Bank Conversion, the TCF Banks would become subject to the
OCC's capital regulations instead of those of the OTS. The OCC has established
three capital standards for national banks: a leverage requirement, a Tier 1
risk-based capital requirement and a total risk-based capital requirement. In
addition, the OCC may also, on a case-by-case basis, establish individual
minimum capital requirements for a national bank that may vary from these
requirements.
The leverage ratio adopted by the OCC requires a minimum ratio of "Tier 1
capital" to adjusted total assets of 3% for national banks rated composite 1
under the supervisory rating system for banks. National banks not rated
composite 1 under this rating system are required to maintain a minimum ratio of
Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets of 4% to 5%, depending upon the level
and nature of risks in their operations. OCC Tier 1 capital generally consists
of the same components as core capital under the OTS' capital regulations,
except that includible intangible assets are more restricted.
The risk-based capital requirements established by the OCC's regulations
require national banks to maintain "total capital" equal to at least 8% of
total risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital equal to at least 4% of total
risk-weighted assets. For purposes of the risk-based capital requirement,
"total capital" means OCC Tier 1 capital plus "Tier 2 capital" (as described
below), provided that the amount of Tier 2 capital may not exceed the amount of
Tier 1 capital, less certain assets. The components of Tier 2 capital under the
OCC's regulations generally correspond to the components of supplementary
capital under OTS regulations. Total risk-weighted assets generally are
determined under the OCC's regulations in the same manner as under the OTS'
regulations.
The OCC has modified its risk-based capital requirements to permit it to
require higher levels of capital as a result of an institution's interest-rate
risk and has proposed to quantify and account for interest-rate risk exposure in
determining the required level of a bank's regulatory capital.
The ability of the TCF Banks to maintain compliance with regulatory capital
requirements may be adversely affected by unanticipated losses or lower levels
of earnings, by new or increased regulatory capital requirements or by other
factors.
RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends or other capital distributions from TCF Minnesota or Great Lakes
to TCF Financial, especially in the event of diminished earnings from other
direct subsidiaries of TCF Financial, may be necessary in order for TCF
Financial to pay dividends on its common stock, to make payments on TCF
Financial's other borrowings, or for other cash needs. The TCF Banks' ability
to make any capital distributions in the future may require regulatory approval
and may be restricted by their regulatory authorities. The TCF Banks' ability
to make any such distributions depends on their earnings and ability to meet
minimum regulatory capital requirements in effect during future periods. These
capital adequacy standards may be higher than existing minimum capital
requirements. In addition, the TCF Banks' ability to make dividend payments may
be limited by the level of their current and accumulated tax earnings and
profits ("E&P"). Annual dividend distributions in excess of E&P could invoke a
tax liability based on the amount of excess earnings distributed and current tax
rates.
17
<PAGE>
Capital distributions by institutions such as the TCF Banks, including
dividends, stock repurchases, redemptions of securities and cash-out mergers,
are subject to restrictions tied to the institutions' capital levels after
giving effect to such a transaction. Under OTS regulations, institutions
identified as "Tier 1" institutions (see definitions below) generally are
authorized to make capital distributions during a calendar year up to the higher
of 100% of their net income to date during the calendar year plus the amount
that would reduce by one-half their surplus capital ratio at the beginning of
the calendar year or 75% of their net income over the most recent four-quarter
period. "Surplus capital ratio" refers to the percentage by which an
association's capital-to-assets ratio exceeds the ratio of its fully phased-in
capital requirement to its assets. Institutions identified as "Tier 2"
institutions may make capital distributions up to 75% of their net income over
the most recent four-quarter period. For purposes of computing the foregoing
amount, a Tier 2 institution must deduct the amount of capital distributions it
has previously made during the most recent four-quarter period. "Tier 3"
institutions would not be permitted to make capital distributions unless they
receive prior written approval from the OTS or unless such a distribution is
made in accordance with an approved capital plan.
"Tier 1" institutions are those which would have capital, immediately prior
to and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to a proposed capital
distribution, that is equal to or greater than the amount of their fully
phased-in capital requirements. "Tier 2" institutions have capital, immediately
prior to and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to a proposed capital
distribution, that is equal to or in excess of their minimum regulatory capital
requirements, but is less than the amount of applicable fully phased-in capital
requirements. "Tier 3" institutions have capital, immediately prior to or on a
pro forma basis after giving effect to a proposed capital distribution, that is
less than the amount of their minimum regulatory capital requirements. The
capital distribution rule would also reflect any individual minimum capital
requirement and if such a requirement is imposed, general minimum capital
requirements would need to be adjusted accordingly. The OTS may also prohibit
any capital distribution that would otherwise be permitted if it determines that
such a distribution would constitute an unsafe and unsound practice. Among the
circumstances deemed to pose such a risk would be a capital distribution by a
Tier 1 or Tier 2 institution whose capital is decreasing because of substantial
losses. If an institution has been notified that it is in need of more than
normal supervision, the OTS has the discretion to treat an institution otherwise
considered a Tier 1 institution as a Tier 2 or Tier 3 institution if it is
deemed necessary to ensure the association's safe and sound operation. As of
December 31, 1996, none of the TCF Banks had an individual minimum capital
requirement and all of these institutions met their fully phased-in capital
requirements, and therefore would expect to be eligible for treatment as Tier 1
institutions. As a result, as of such date the TCF Banks would be limited to
capital distributions up to the higher of 100% of their net income during the
calendar year plus the amount that would reduce by one-half their surplus
capital ratio at the beginning of the calendar year, or 75% of their net income
over the most recent four-quarter period, assuming the OTS did not determine
that such a distribution would be contrary to the safe and sound operation of
the institutions. In December 1994, the OTS issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking which would modify the capital distribution regulations to
incorporate the prompt corrective action capital standards promulgated by
FDICIA, and which would permit savings associations with a supervisory rating of
"1" or "2" which are not held by a holding company to make capital distributions
without providing prior notice to the OTS. TCF does not believe that the
proposed rule, if adopted, would materially change the capital distribution
restrictions applicable to it or to the TCF Banks.
During 1986, TCF Minnesota converted from a federally chartered mutual
association to a federally chartered stock savings and loan association. At
that time, TCF Minnesota established a liquidation account in an amount equal to
its regulatory net worth as of April 30, 1986. Liquidation accounts have also
been established in the conversions of TCF Wisconsin, TCF Illinois and Great
Lakes. A liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible
depositors who have continued to maintain their deposits in an institution since
the conversion to a stock form of ownership. In the event of a liquidation,
each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a liquidation distribution
from the liquidation account in the proportionate amount of the then current
adjusted balance for deposits held before any liquidation distribution may be
made with respect to the stockholders. The balance attributable to the
liquidation account is decreased by a proportionate amount as each accountholder
closes an account or reduces the balance in such account as of any subsequent
fiscal year-end. Except for the repurchase of stock and payment of dividends,
the existence of the liquidation account will not restrict the use or
application of a savings institution's net worth. A savings institution may not
declare or pay a cash dividend or repurchase any of its capital stock if it
would cause its regulatory capital to be reduced below the amount required for
the liquidation account.
Following the Bank Conversion, the TCF Banks' ability to pay dividends
would become subject to restrictions under the National Bank Act and regulations
of the OCC rather than requirements administered by the OTS. Dividends paid by
a national bank must be paid out of current or retained net profits, after
deducting reserves for losses and bad debts.
18
<PAGE>
The National Bank Act further restricts the payment of dividends out of net
profits by prohibiting a national bank from declaring a dividend on its shares
of common stock until the surplus fund equals the amount of capital stock or, if
the surplus fund does not equal the amount of capital stock, until one-tenth of
the bank's profits for the preceding half year (in case of quarterly or
semi-annual dividends), or the preceding two half-year periods (in the case of
annual dividends), are transferred to the surplus fund. In addition, the prior
approval of the OCC is required for the payment of a dividend if the total of
all dividends declared by a national bank in any calendar year would exceed the
total of its net profits for the year combined with its retained net profits for
the two preceding years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for
the retirement of any preferred stock.
The OCC has the authority to prohibit the payment of dividends by a
national bank when it determines such payments to be an unsafe and unsound
banking practice. In addition, national banks also would be subject to the
effect of regulations governing the minimum level of capital to be maintained
under regulations relating to minimum capital and prompt corrective action as
discussed above.
SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS STANDARDS
In July 1995, the OTS and other federal banking regulatory agencies
(including the OCC) jointly issued final safety and soundness standards. These
standards were issued in the form of guidelines addressing such factors as
internal controls and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting,
interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits. In the
event of a failure to meet any of these safety and soundness standards, the OTS
could require the filing of a compliance plan.
There is virtually no limit on the authority of the OTS or FDIC to take any
appropriate action with respect to conditions or activities it considers unsafe
or unsound.
REGULATION OF TCF FINANCIAL AND AFFILIATE AND INSIDER TRANSACTIONS
TCF Financial and TCF Minnesota are subject to regulation as savings and
loan holding companies. They are required to register with the OTS and are
subject to OTS regulations, examinations and reporting requirements relating to
savings and loan holding companies. As subsidiaries of savings and loan holding
companies, the TCF Banks are subject to certain restrictions in their dealings
with TCF Financial and with other companies affiliated with TCF Financial, and
also with each other. Under FDICIA, the TCF Banks are required to conform to
regulatory standards promulgated by the OTS relating to operations and
management, asset quality, earnings, stock valuation, and compensation of
officers, employees or directors.
In connection with the reorganization of TCF Minnesota into a holding
company structure in 1987, TCF Financial was required to undertake that, as long
as it controls TCF Minnesota, it will cause the regulatory capital of TCF
Minnesota to be maintained at a level consistent with that required by
applicable regulations and, as necessary or appropriate, TCF Financial will
infuse sufficient additional equity capital to comply with such requirement. As
a result of FDICIA, TCF Financial may also be required to make up certain
capital deficiencies of the other TCF Banks.
As amended by FIRREA, HOLA provides generally that an insured savings
institution subsidiary of a holding company is subject to the restrictions on
affiliate transactions set forth in Federal Reserve Act Sections 23A and 23B.
In addition, an insured institution may not buy securities from an affiliate,
except for shares of stock of a subsidiary, and it may not make loans to an
affiliate engaged in a non-banking activity. As a result of FIRREA and FDICIA,
thrift institutions are subject to Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal
Reserve Act, which restrict a financial institution's ability to make loans to
"insiders" (executive officers, directors and certain shareholders). The OTS
has also adopted the FRB's Regulation O, which implements legislative
restrictions on insider loan transactions. Following consummation of the Bank
Conversion, affiliate transactions and insider lending restrictions will
continue to apply to TCF and the TCF Banks.
HOLA authorizes the OTS or the FDIC to identify holding company activities
that present excessive risk to insured institutions, and to restrict, among
other things, dividends to TCF Financial (or to TCF Minnesota by TCF Illinois or
TCF Wisconsin) and other affiliate transactions. If one or more of the TCF
Banks were to lose their status as a Qualified Thrift Lender, TCF Financial
and/or TCF Minnesota would possibly be treated as a bank holding company,
resulting in additional restrictions on its activities and other possible
negative effects. Under HOLA, multiple savings and loan
19
<PAGE>
holding companies such as TCF Financial may engage only in the following
activities: furnishing or performing management services for a savings
association subsidiary; conducting an insurance agency or escrow business;
holding, managing or liquidating assets owned or acquired from a savings
association subsidiary; holding or managing properties used or occupied by a
savings association subsidiary; acting as trustee under a deed of trust; any
activity approved as an activity under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding
Company Act ("BHCA") by the FRB (unless prohibited by the Director of the OTS)
or in which multiple savings and loan holding companies were authorized to
engage on March 5, 1987; or purchasing of stock in certain qualified stock
issuances which have been approved by the Director of the OTS.
Upon consummation of the Bank Conversion, TCF Financial will become
regulated by the FRB as a bank holding company instead of by the OTS as a
savings and loan holding company. Bank holding companies are subject to
extensive regulation under the BHCA. As a bank holding company, TCF Financial
would be required to file reports with the FRB and would be subject to FRB
examination and enforcement authority.
Under FRB policy, a bank holding company must serve as a source of strength
for its subsidiary banks. Under this policy, the FRB may require a holding
company to contribute additional capital to an undercapitalized subsidiary bank.
The FRB has also established capital requirements for bank holding companies
that generally parallel requirements for national banks.
Under BHCA, a bank holding company must obtain FRB approval before
acquiring more than 5% control, or substantially all of the assets, of another
bank or bank holding company, or merging or consolidating with another bank
holding company. The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain
exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than
5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding
company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those
of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its
subsidiaries. Exceptions are available for certain activities permitted by the
FRB under Regulation Y, which are generally more limited than the activities
that may be engaged in by savings and loan holding companies.
The FRB does not currently permit annuity sales activities by bank holding
companies and as a result, TCF Financial will contribute its annuity sales
subsidiaries to the TCF Banks in consummating the Bank Conversion. Annuity
sales activities are permitted by the OCC for a subsidiary of a national bank.
RESTRICTIONS ON CHANGE IN CONTROL
Federal and state laws and regulations contain a number of provisions which
impose restrictions on changes in control of financial institutions such as the
TCF Banks, and which require regulatory approval prior to any such changes in
control. With the passage of FIRREA in 1989, these laws and regulations became
less restrictive, especially with respect to the acquisition of thrifts by bank
holding companies which became permissible under FIRREA. The Certificate of
Incorporation of TCF Financial and a Shareholder Rights Plan adopted by TCF
Financial in 1989, among other items, contain features which may inhibit a
change in control of TCF Financial.
ACQUISITIONS AND INTERSTATE OPERATIONS
HOLA prohibits a savings and loan holding company, directly or indirectly,
from (i) acquiring control of another savings institution (or a holding company
thereof) without the prior approval of the OTS, (ii) acquiring 5% or more of the
voting shares of another savings institution (or a holding company thereof)
which is not a subsidiary; or (iii) acquiring control of a savings institution
not insured by the FDIC. Under HOLA, the OTS is prohibited from approving an
acquisition that would result in the formation of a multiple savings and loan
holding company controlling insured institutions in more than one state unless
(i) such company, or an insured institution subsidiary thereof, is authorized to
acquire an institution, or operate a home or branch office, in an additional
state pursuant to an emergency acquisition, (ii) such company controls an
insured institution subsidiary which operated a home or branch office in the
additional state on March 5, 1987, or (iii) state law in the state of the
institution to be acquired specifically authorizes such an acquisition. In
connection with changes in control, savings institutions may, depending on the
circumstances, also be subject to the Bank Merger Act or Change in Bank Control
Act.
In April 1992, the OTS issued a statement of policy, effective May 11,
1992, amending its then-existing statement of policy on branching by federal
savings associations. The new statement of policy deletes restrictions on the
branching
20
<PAGE>
of federal associations to permit nationwide branching to the extent permitted
by federal statutes, provided the institution meets certain tests (domestic
building and loan test, minimum capital requirements and satisfactory Community
Reinvestment Act record). Under the new policy statement, it is believed that
the TCF Banks may branch into any state with the approval of the OTS.
Interstate branching authority for banks is more limited than the authority
for thrift institutions. Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Act of 1994 ("Riegle-Neal Act"), the OCC and FDIC are authorized to approve
interstate branching de novo by national and state banks only in states that
specifically allow such branching. The Riegle-Neal Act also requires that the
appropriate federal banking agencies prescribe regulations by June 1, 1997 which
prohibit any out-of-state bank from using the interstate branching authority
primarily for the purpose of deposit production. These regulations must include
guidelines to ensure that interstate branches operated by an out-of-state bank
in a host state are reasonably helping to meet the credit needs of the
communities which they serve.
The Riegle-Neal Act also sets forth rules for interstate banking, as
opposed to interstate branching. The Riegle-Neal Act allows the FRB to approve
an application of an adequately capitalized and managed bank holding company to
acquire control of, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, a bank
located in a state other than such holding company's home state, without regard
to whether the transaction is prohibited by the laws of any state. The FRB may
not approve the acquisition of a bank that has not been in existence for the
minimum time period (not to exceed five years) specified by the law of the host
state. The Riegle-Neal Act also prohibits the FRB from approving an application
if the applicant (and its depository institution affiliates) controls or would
control more than 10% of the insured deposits in the United States or 30% or
more of the deposits in the target bank's home state or in any state in which
the target bank maintains a branch. The Riegle-Neal Act does not affect the
authority of states to limit the percentage of total insured deposits in the
state which may be held or controlled by a bank or bank holding company to the
extent such limitation does not discriminate against out-of-state banks or bank
holding companies. Individual states may also waive the 30% state-wide
concentration limit contained in the Riegle-Neal Act.
Beginning June 1, 1997, the Riegle-Neal Act authorizes the federal banking
agencies to approve interstate merger transactions without regard to whether
such transactions are prohibited by the law of any state, unless the home state
of one of the banks opts out of the Act by adopting a law after the date of
enactment of the Act and prior to June 1, 1997 which applies equally to all
out-of-state banks and expressly prohibits merger transactions involving
out-of-state banks. Interstate acquisitions of branches by banks will be
permitted only if the law of the state in which the branch is located permits
such acquisitions. Interstate mergers and branch acquisitions will also be
subject to the nationwide and statewide insured deposit concentration amounts
described above.
REGULATORY SUPERVISION
The TCF Banks are subject to examination and supervision by the OTS and the
FDIC. The TCF Banks are also subject to regulations governing such matters as
mergers, establishment of branch offices and subsidiary investments and
activities, and to general investment authority under regulations applicable to
federally chartered savings banks. As a result of its insurance, mortgage
banking and consumer finance activities, TCF is also subject to state regulation
and examination authority in various states.
As described above, the TCF Banks will become subject to the regulatory
authority of the FRB and OCC instead of the OTS following the Bank Conversion.
TCF and the TCF Banks would then become subject to supervision, examination and
regulation by these agencies.
In January 1997, TCF Illinois acquired all of the outstanding stock of BOC
Financial Corporation ("BOC Financial"), which, in turn, owns all of the
outstanding stock of Banks of Chicago Bancorp, Inc. ("Banks of Chicago"), which,
in turn, owns all of the outstanding stock of BOC which is a BIF-insured state
chartered savings bank. Immediately following the Bank Conversion, TCF Illinois
(as a national bank) will cause BOC Financial to dissolve and then cause Banks
of Chicago to dissolve, and then BOC to merge with and into TCF Illinois with
TCF Illinois as the surviving entity. Prior to the Bank Conversion, BOC will be
an Illinois state savings bank regulated by the State of Illinois Office of
Banks and Real Estate and the FDIC, and these two agencies have general
supervisory, examination and regulatory authority over BOC. Following the Bank
Conversion and the merger described above, TCF Illinois will be subject to the
regulatory authority of the OCC.

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM
The TCF Banks are members of the FHLB System, consisting of twelve regional
FHLBs. The FHLB System functions as a central reserve credit facility for
member institutions. As members of the FHLB System, the TCF Banks are entitled
to borrow funds from their respective FHLBs. As a result of FIRREA, the FHLB
System is now administered by the Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB") rather
than the Federal Home Loan Bank Board ("FHLBB").
As a result of the failure of a number of savings institutions and
reductions in outstanding loans to its members, the FHLB System has become less
profitable and its continued viability may depend upon its ability to attract
new members. The TCF Banks are required to own capital stock of their
respective FHLBs in an amount at least equal to the greater of 1% of the
aggregate outstanding balance of home mortgage loans and similar obligations,
1/20th of advances and letters of credit from the FHLB or .3% of assets. The
TCF Banks are in compliance with this requirement.
At December 31, 1996, TCF's outstanding FHLB advances totaled $1.1 billion.
These advances were secured by shares of FHLB stock and by a pledge of all notes
and related mortgages and certain other assets held by TCF. The maximum amount
of credit which a FHLB will advance for purposes other than meeting withdrawals
varies from time to time in accordance with changes in policies of the FHFB and
the FHLB. Interest rates charged for advances vary depending upon maturity, the
cost of funds to the FHLB, and the purpose of the borrowing.
The TCF Banks currently intend to remain members of their respective FHLB
following the Bank Conversion.
LIQUIDITY AND RESERVE REQUIREMENTS
FIRREA amended HOLA to require that the Director of the OTS adopt
regulations providing for a minimum liquidity requirement for thrift
institutions. The minimum liquidity requirement must be in a range of 4% to 10%
of an institution's withdrawable accounts and borrowings payable on demand or
with maturities of one year or less. Current OTS regulations, which may be
modified by the Director of the OTS in accordance with FIRREA, provide that each
thrift institution must maintain an average daily balance for each calendar
month of liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits, certain bankers'
acceptances, specified corporate obligations and specified United States
government, state or federal agency obligations) equal to at least 5% of the sum
of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts (the amount of
all withdrawable accounts less the unpaid balance of all loans on the security
of such accounts) plus borrowings payable in one year or less. These
regulations also provide that each thrift institution must maintain an average
daily balance for each calendar month of short-term liquid assets (generally
those having maturities of six months or less or twelve months or less,
depending on the asset) equal to at least 1% of its average daily balance of net
withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term debt. The TCF Banks have
maintained liquidity ratios in excess of these requirements. As a result of
FDICIA, institutions with liquidity shortages may be restricted in their ability
to borrow from the Federal Reserve "discount window." National banks are not
subject to any prescribed liquidity requirements.
The TCF Banks are also subject to FRB reserve requirements imposed under
Regulation D. These requirements, which are subject to change from time to
time, call for minimum levels of reserves based on amounts held in transaction
accounts. The TCF Banks are in compliance with these reserve requirements.
INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS
Under FIRREA, the deposits of the TCF Banks are insured by the FDIC up to
$100,000 per insured depositor. The TCF Banks other than BOC are insured by the
SAIF of the FDIC and will continue to be SAIF insured following the Bank
Conversion. BOC is insured by the BIF and following its merger with TCF
Illinois, TCF Illinois' deposits will be proportionately allocated between the
BIF and SAIF.
Pursuant to FDICIA, the FDIC was required to assess deposit premiums based
on assessed risk in an institution's asset portfolio no later than January 1,
1994. In October 1992, the FDIC issued a rule implementing a transitional
risk-based premium system effective January 1, 1993 that raised deposit
insurance premiums for institutions that pose greater risk to the deposit
insurance system. Under the transitional risk-based system, the FDIC placed
each insured institution in one of nine risk categories based on capital ratios
and the FDIC's assessment of supervisory risk posed by an institution. These
initial risk-based premiums ranged from .23% to .31% of total insured deposits.
On June 17, 1993,
22
<PAGE>
the FDIC adopted a final rule establishing a permanent risk-based assessment
system effective with the semi-annual assessment period commencing January 1,
1994. The permanent system is substantially the same as the transitional system
previously in effect. See "-- Recent Developments."
QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER
Savings institutions are subject to restrictions on permissible investments
that are generally known as Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") requirements. These
requirements were relaxed by FDICIA, but the new legislation retained FIRREA's
penalties for failing to meet the QTL test. An institution failing the QTL test
is required to become a commercial bank or is subject to a number of
restrictions, including: (i) a requirement that the institution not make any new
investment or engage in any new activity unless such investment or activity
would be permissible for a national bank; (ii) a requirement that the
institution not establish any new branch office at any location at which a
national bank located in the institution's home state may not establish a
branch; (iii) ineligibility for new FHLB advances; and (iv) any restrictions on
the payment of dividends to which a national bank would be subject. Where an
institution still does not meet QTL requirements three years from the date on
which it should have and failed to do so, the institution will be required to
divest any investment or discontinue any activity which is impermissible for a
national bank and will be required to repay any outstanding FHLB advances. Any
savings and loan holding company which holds a thrift that fails to meet the QTL
test will, within one year after the date on which the thrift should have become
or ceases to be a QTL, be deemed to be a bank holding company subject to all the
provisions of the BHCA and other statutes applicable to bank holding companies.
Such a development would impose a number of additional activity, capital and
other restrictions on any such thrift holding company. The TCF Banks are in
compliance with all QTL requirements.
Following the Bank Conversion, the TCF Banks are not expected to be subject
to QTL requirements.
EXAMINATIONS AND REGULATORY SANCTIONS
The TCF Banks are subject to periodic examination by the OTS and the FDIC.
Thrift regulatory authorities may impose on criticized institutions and, in
certain cases, their holding companies, a number of restrictions or new
requirements, including but not limited to growth limitations, dividend
restrictions, individual increased regulatory capital requirements, increased
loan and real estate loss reserve requirements, increased supervisory
assessments, activity limitations or other restrictions that could have an
adverse effect on such institutions, their holding companies or holders of their
debt and equity securities. Similar restrictions or requirements may be imposed
on the TCF Banks by national bank regulatory authorities, including the FRB and
OCC, following the Bank Conversion. Any insured institution which does not
operate in accordance with or conform to OTS or FDIC regulations, policies and
directives may also be sanctioned for noncompliance. Subsidiaries of TCF are
also subject to state and/or self-regulatory organization licensing, regulation
and examination requirements in connection with certain insurance, mortgage
banking, securities brokerage and consumer finance activities. Proceedings may
be instituted against any insured institution or any director, officer, employee
or person participating in the conduct of the affairs of such institution who
engages in unsafe or unsound practices, including the violation of applicable
laws, regulations, orders, agreements or similar items. If the assets of an
institution are overvalued on its books, it may be ordered to establish and
maintain a specific reserve in an amount equal to the determined overvaluation,
which may result in a charge against operations to the extent of the
overvaluation. FDIC insurance may be terminated, after notice and hearing, upon
a finding that an insured institution is engaging in unsafe or unsound
practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operating, does not
meet minimum regulatory capital requirements, or has violated any applicable
law, rule, regulation or order of or condition imposed by the FDIC. Upon
termination, funds then on deposit continue to be insured for at least six
months and for up to two years, and due notice of such termination must be
provided to the institution's accountholders.
FIRREA substantially increased enforcement remedies, including civil money
penalties, that may be assessed against an institution or an institution's
directors, officers, employees, agents or independent contractors. For knowing
violations and under certain other aggravated circumstances, penalties up to $1
million per day may be assessed. For lesser violations where there is a pattern
of misconduct, or under certain other circumstances, a penalty of up to $25,000
per day may be imposed. Other violations may result in penalties of up to
$5,000 per day. Violations of laws and regulations may also subject an
institution's officers and directors to removal and to criminal penalties.

LIMITATIONS ON CERTAIN INVESTMENTS
As federally chartered institutions, the TCF Banks are generally prohibited
from investing directly in equity securities and real estate (other than that
used for offices and related facilities or acquired through, or in lieu of,
foreclosure or on which a contract purchaser has defaulted). In addition, their
authority to invest directly in service corporations is limited to a maximum of
2% of their assets, plus an additional 1% of assets if the amount over 2% is
used for specified community or inner-city development purposes. The TCF Banks
are also permitted, if their risk-based capital is in compliance with the
then-applicable minimum requirements, to make additional loans in an amount not
exceeding 50% of their risk-based capital to service corporations of which they
own more than 10% of the stock. Any failure to meet their minimum capital
requirements may disallow any such additional investment authority. The TCF
Banks are in compliance with all limitations on certain investments
requirements.
In October 1992, the OTS issued a final rule under which savings
associations are authorized to establish and acquire "operating subsidiaries"
which may engage only in activities savings associations are authorized to
engage in directly. Operating subsidiaries are generally excluded from the
scope of the service corporation regulations, including limitations on
investments in service corporations.
Savings associations generally must provide a 30-day notice to the FDIC and
the OTS prior to acquiring or forming a new subsidiary or prior to engaging in a
new activity through a subsidiary. If the OTS or FDIC determine that any such
subsidiary or activity poses a threat to the safety and soundness of the
institution or is inconsistent with existing law or sound banking practices,
they may issue an order directing the institution not to proceed with such
plans.
Permissible investments by national banks are limited by the National Bank
Act and by rules of the OCC. The OCC adopted new regulations in December 1996
that permit national banks to establish operating subsidiaries engaged in any
activity that the OCC determines is incidental to banking. This rule would
permit national bank subsidiaries to engage in activities that are traditionally
associated with the business of banking, and would also permit certain
activities not traditionally associated with banking. The OCC's new rule
imposes certain supervisory limitations on subsidiaries engaged in activities
that are not permitted for the parent bank, including notice and comment
procedures for activities not previously approved, corporate governance
requirements and certain supervisory requirements, including a regulatory
capital deduction requirement, application of Federal Reserve Act Sections 23A
and 23B transactions with affiliates rules and a requirement that the bank be
well-capitalized.
LOANS-TO-ONE BORROWER RESTRICTION
Under FIRREA, all loans to a single borrower or to related borrowers are
generally limited to 15% of an institution's unimpaired capital and unimpaired
surplus, plus an additional 10% for loans fully secured by readily marketable
collateral. In addition, institutions which meet their fully phased-in capital
requirements are permitted under FIRREA to make loans to develop domestic
residential housing units, not to exceed the lesser of $30 million or 30% of the
institution's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus, subject to certain
conditions and other limitations. The OTS applies a definition of unimpaired
capital and unimpaired surplus in determining the maximum loans-to-one borrower
permitted for thrift institutions which is generally the same as the definition
employed by the OCC. All of the TCF Banks are in compliance with applicable
loans-to-one borrower limitations. Such limitations are not expected to have a
material effect on TCF's lending activities.
CLASSIFICATION OF ASSETS
Under OTS rules, an asset is classified substandard when it has a
well-defined weakness or weaknesses. A substandard asset is one that is
inadequately protected by the net worth or paying capacity of the obligor or by
the collateral, if any. An asset is classified doubtful where some loss seems
very likely but there is still sufficient uncertainty to permit the asset to
remain on the books at its full value. The possibility of a loss on an asset
classified doubtful is high, but because of important and reasonably specific
pending factors which may work to the strengthening of the asset, its
classification as loss is deferred until its more exact status may be
determined. An asset, or a portion thereof, is classified as loss when it is
considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset
without establishment of a specific reserve is not warranted. Assets that do
not warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss, but possess credit
deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management's close attention are
classified as special mention. Classification of assets rules are similar for
institutions regulated by the OCC.
24
<PAGE>
Assets may be classified in whole or in part, and part of an asset may be
classified in one category, and part in a different category. Insured
institutions are required to self-classify their assets. These classifications
are reviewed as part of the regulatory examination process. An institution is
required to have general valuation allowances that are adequate in light of its
level of classified assets. When an asset or portion of an asset has been
classified as loss, the institution must either charge off 100% of the portion
classified as loss or establish a specific valuation allowance in a like amount.
Specific allowances may not be included in regulatory capital, while general
loan loss reserves are included in risk-based capital, subject to certain
limitations.
FUTURE LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY CHANGE; LITIGATION AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY
There are a number of respects in which future legislative or regulatory
change, or changes in enforcement practices or court rulings, could adversely
affect TCF, and it is generally not possible to predict when or if such
changes may have an impact on TCF.
Legislative proposals for tax reform have sought the elimination of certain
tax benefits for single premium annuities, which, if adopted, could impair TCF's
ability to market annuity products. Recent legislation has limited the role of
private lenders in education loans. Financial institutions have also
increasingly been the subject of private class action lawsuits challenging
escrow account practices, private mortgage insurance requirements, the use of
loan brokers and other practices, and TCF expects this trend will continue.
The Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") and other fair lending laws and
regulations impose nondiscriminatory lending requirements on financial
institutions. In recent periods, federal regulatory agencies, including the
FRB, the OTS and the Department of Justice ("DOJ"), have sought a more rigorous
enforcement of the CRA and other fair lending laws and regulations. The DOJ is
authorized to use the full range of its enforcement authority under the fair
lending laws. The DOJ has authority to commence pattern or practice
investigations of possible lending discrimination on its own initiative or
through referrals from the federal financial institutions regulatory agencies,
and to file lawsuits in federal court where there is reasonable cause to believe
that such violations have occurred. The DOJ is also authorized to bring suit
based on individual complaints filed with the Department of Housing and Urban
Development where one of the parties to the complaint elects to have the case
heard in federal court. A successful challenge to an institution's performance
under the CRA and related laws and regulations could result in a wide variety of
sanctions, including the required payment of damages and civil money penalties,
prospective and retrospective injunctive relief and the imposition of
restrictions on mergers and acquisitions activity. Private parties may also have
the ability to challenge an institution's performance under fair lending laws in
private class action litigation. The ultimate effects of the foregoing or other
possible legal and regulatory developments cannot be predicted but may have an
adverse impact on TCF.
OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS
TCF is subject to a wide array of other laws and regulations, both federal
and state, including, but not limited to, usury laws, the CRA and regulations
thereunder, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B, Regulation E
Electronic Funds transfer requirements, the Truth-in-Lending Act and Regulation
Z, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and Regulation X. TCF is also
subject to laws and regulations that may impose liability on lenders and owners
for clean-up costs and other costs stemming from hazardous waste located on
property securing real estate loans made by lenders or on real estate that is
owned by lenders following a foreclosure or otherwise. Although TCF's lending
procedures include measures designed to limit lender liability for hazardous
waste clean-up or other related liability, TCF has engaged in significant
commercial lending activity, and lenders may be held liable for clean up costs
relating to hazardous wastes under certain circumstances.
TAXATION
FEDERAL TAXATION
Bad Debt Reserves
TCF files consolidated federal income tax returns. TCF has been an accrual
basis taxpayer since January 1, 1987. Thrift institutions, such as the TCF
Banks, are subject to federal income tax under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
25
<PAGE>
(the "Code") in the same general manner as other corporations. Prior to 1996,
savings institutions were subject to special bad debt reserve rules and certain
other rules. During this period of time, a savings institution that held 60% or
more of its assets in "qualifying assets" (as defined in the Code) was permitted
to maintain reserves for bad debts and to make annual additions to such reserves
that qualified as deductions from taxable income. All of the TCF Banks were in
compliance with this requirement.
A qualifying thrift institution could elect annually to compute its
allowable additions to bad debt reserves under either the percentage of taxable
income method or the experience method. The percentage of taxable income method
of calculating bad debt reserves limited the applicable percentage deduction to
8% of taxable income and could not cause the reserves to exceed 6% of qualifying
loans at the end of the taxable year. TCF Minnesota and TCF Illinois used the
percentage of taxable income method to calculate additions to the tax bad debt
reserves in 1995. Great Lakes and TCF Wisconsin used the experience method to
calculate additions to tax bad debt reserves in 1995.
Beginning in 1996, the favorable bad debt method described above was
repealed putting savings institutions on the same tax bad debt method as
commercial banks. This legislation requires recapture of the amount of the tax
bad debt reserves to the extent that they exceed the adjusted base year reserve
("the applicable excess reserves"). The applicable excess reserves are
recaptured over a six-year period. This recapture period can be deferred for a
period of up to two years to the extent that a certain residential lending test
is met. TCF has previously provided taxes for the applicable excess reserves.
IRS Audit History
The consolidated tax returns for the years ended 1992 through 1994 have
been reviewed by the IRS.
See "Financial Review -- Results of Operations - Income Taxes" on page 24,
Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 38 through 40 and
Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 51 and 52 of
TCF's 1996 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, for additional
information regarding TCF's income taxes.
STATE TAXATION
TCF and its subsidiaries that operate in Minnesota are subject to Minnesota
state taxation. A Minnesota corporation's income or loss is allocated based on
a three-factor apportionment of the corporation's Minnesota gross receipts,
payroll and property over the total gross receipts, payroll and property of all
corporations in the unitary group. The corporate tax rate in Minnesota is 9.8%.
The Minnesota Alternative Minimum Tax rate is 5.8%.
TCF and its subsidiaries that operate in Illinois are subject to Illinois
state taxation. The Illinois corporate tax rate is 7.3%. Illinois corporate
income or loss is apportioned in a similar manner to Minnesota. For all TCF
entities operating in Illinois, except the TCF Banks and Consumer Finance
Subsidiaries, the three-factor apportionment method is used. For the TCF Banks
and Consumer Finance Subsidiaries, income is allocated using only the sales
factor in accordance with Illinois financial organization tax law.
TCF and its subsidiaries that operate in Wisconsin are subject to Wisconsin
state taxation. The Wisconsin state tax rate is 7.9%, and is computed on a
separate company basis. For all TCF entities operating in Wisconsin, except the
TCF Banks, the three-factor apportionment method is used. For the TCF Banks,
income is allocated using only the sales and payroll factors in accordance with
Wisconsin financial organization tax law.
TCF and its subsidiaries that operate in Michigan are subject to Michigan
state taxation. The corporate tax rate in Michigan is 2.3% and is computed on
taxable business activity in Michigan. For all TCF entities operating in
Michigan, except for the TCF Banks, the three-factor apportionment method is
used. For the TCF Banks, taxable business activity is allocated using only the
sales factor in accordance with Michigan financial organization tax law.
Currently, TCF and its subsidiaries file state tax returns in Arizona,
Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah and Wisconsin, and local tax returns in certain cities.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
OFFICES
At December 31, 1996, TCF owned the buildings and land for 108 of its bank
branch offices, owned the buildings but leased the land for 6 of its bank branch
offices and leased the remaining 82 bank branch offices. The properties related
to the bank branch offices owned by TCF, including vacant land upon which
permanent offices may be constructed, had a depreciated cost of approximately
$80.7 million at December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1996, the aggregate net
book value of leasehold improvements associated with leased bank branch office
facilities was $8.7 million. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements on page 46 of TCF's 1996 Annual Report, incorporated herein by
reference.
Leases for TCF's offices expire at various dates, with most leases expiring
during the period from 1997 through 2005.
The following table sets forth the net book value of the bank branch
offices owned and leasehold improvements on bank branch properties leased by TCF

computer. The net book value of all computer equipment was $17.3 million at
December 31, 1996. TCF also leases a variety of data processing equipment at a
total annual rental of $1.7 million.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, TCF is a party to legal proceedings arising out of its
general lending and operating activities. TCF is and expects to become engaged
in a number of foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of
its loan collection activities. From time to time, borrowers have also brought
actions against TCF, in some cases claiming substantial amounts in damages. TCF
is also from time to time involved in litigation relating to its retail banking,
consumer credit and mortgage banking operations and related consumer financial
services, including class action litigation. Management, after review with its
legal counsel, believes that the ultimate disposition of its litigation will not
have a material effect on TCF's financial condition.
On November 2, 1993, TCF Minnesota filed a complaint in the United States
Court of Federal Claims seeking monetary damages from the United States for
breach of contract, taking of property without just compensation and deprivation
of property without due process. TCF Minnesota's claim is based on the
government's breach of contract in connection with TCF Minnesota's acquisitions
of certain savings institutions prior to the enactment of FIRREA in 1989, which
contracts allowed TCF Minnesota to treat the "supervisory goodwill" created by
the acquisitions as an asset that could be counted toward regulatory capital,
and provided for other favorable regulatory accounting treatment. Because TCF
Minnesota's suit has been stayed pending final appellate resolution of another
case addressing the government's liability for breach of supervisory goodwill
contracts (the WINSTAR case, discussed below) the United States has not yet
answered TCF Minnesota's complaint. TCF Minnesota's complaint involves
approximately $80.3 million in supervisory goodwill.
In August 1995, Great Lakes filed with the United States Court of Federal
Claims a complaint seeking monetary damages from the United States for breach of
contract, taking of property without just compensation and deprivation of
property without due process. Great Lakes' claim is based on the government's
breach of contract in connection with Great Lakes' acquisitions of certain
savings institutions prior to the enactment of FIRREA in 1989, which contracts
allowed Great Lakes to treat the "supervisory goodwill" created by the
acquisitions as an asset that could be counted toward regulatory capital, and
provided for other favorable regulatory accounting treatment. The United States
has not yet answered Great Lakes' complaint, as the Court has entered a stay of
proceedings pending final appellate resolution of the WINSTAR case, discussed
below. Great Lakes' complaint involves approximately $87.3 million in
supervisory goodwill.
On July 1, 1996, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision
affirming the August 30, 1995 decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit, which decision had affirmed Court of Federal Claims'
liability determinations in three other "supervisory goodwill" cases,
consolidated for review under the title WINSTAR CORP. V. UNITED STATES, 64
U.S.L.W. 4739 (1996). In rejecting the United States' consolidated appeal
from the Court of Federal Claims' decisions, the Supreme Court held in
WINSTAR that the United States had breached contracts it had entered into
with the plaintiffs which provided for the treatment of supervisory goodwill,
created through the plaintiffs' acquisitions of failed or failing savings
institutions, as an asset that could be counted toward regulatory capital.
Two of the three cases consolidated in the Supreme Court proceedings are now
proceeding to trials before the Court of Federal Claims on the issue of
damages. One of these trials commenced on February 24, 1997, and the other
is currently scheduled to begin on June 2, 1997. In connection with the
trials in those cases, the Court of Federal Claims in December of 1996 denied
the government's motion seeking to preclude the plaintiffs in these cases
from offering evidence regarding the scope and extent of any lost profits
they suffered as a result of the government's breach.
There are a variety of contracts and contract provisions in the TCF
Minnesota and Great Lakes transactions. The government has indicated that it
will have a number of affirmative defenses in goodwill litigation filed against
it. There can be no assurance that the U.S. Supreme Court decision in WINSTAR
will mean that a similar result would be obtained in the actions filed by TCF
Minnesota and Great Lakes. There can also be no assurance that the government
will be determined liable in connection with the loss of supervisory goodwill by
either TCF Minnesota or Great Lakes or, even if a determination favorable to TCF
Minnesota or Great Lakes is made on the issue of the government's liability,
that a measure of damages will be employed that will permit any recovery on TCF
Minnesota's or Great Lakes' claim. Because of the complexity of the issues
involved in both the liability and damages phases of this litigation, and the
usual
28
<PAGE>
risks associated with litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of TCF
Minnesota's or Great Lakes' cases, and investors should not anticipate any
recovery.

Second Quarter 37 3/4 32 .1875
Third Quarter 38 5/8 31 1/8 .1875

Third Quarter 29 7/8 23 1/2 .15625
Fourth Quarter 33 3/8 28 1/2 .15625
As of March 7, 1997, there were approximately 9,000 record holders of TCF's
common stock.
The Board of Directors of TCF has not adopted a formal dividend policy.
The Board of Directors intends to continue its present practice of paying
quarterly cash dividends on TCF's common stock as justified by the financial
condition of TCF. The declaration and amount of future dividends will depend on
circumstances existing at the time, including TCF's earnings, financial
condition and capital requirements, the cash available to pay such dividends
(derived mainly from dividends and distributions from its direct subsidiaries,
including TCF Minnesota and Great Lakes), as well as regulatory and contractual
limitations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
OTS regulations limit the amount of dividends TCF Minnesota and Great Lakes may
pay on its capital stock. OCC regulations will limit the amount of dividends
the TCF Banks pay on their capital stock following the Bank Conversion.
Restrictions on the ability of TCF Minnesota and Great Lakes to pay cash
dividends or possible diminished earnings of the other direct and indirect
subsidiaries of the Holding Company may limit the ability of the Holding Company
to pay dividends in the future to holders of its common stock. See "REGULATION
- -- Regulatory Capital Requirements," "REGULATION -- Restrictions on
Distributions" and Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on
pages 52 and 53 of TCF's 1996 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.
Federal income tax rules may also limit dividend payments under certain
circumstances. See "TAXATION," and Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements on pages 52 and 53 of TCF's 1996 Annual Report, incorporated herein
by reference.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY
RESOLVED, that the TCF Financial Executive Deferred Compensation Plan be
and hereby is amended effective on and after November 1, 1996 to restate Section
10 thereof to read as follows in full:
2. PERSONNEL COMMITTEE. The Committee shall consist of such members of the
Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors of TCF Financial Corporation who
qualify as non-employee directors from time to time under Rule 16b-3 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
<PAGE>
10. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR EMPLOYEES SUBJECT TO SECTION 16 OF THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to
the contrary, for an Employee who is subject to liability under Section 16 of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the following special provisions apply:
a. Any election of Deferred Amounts of salary or incentive compensation
under paragraph l.b. shall be exercised in writing by the Employee and filed
with the Committee no later than the date prior to the date the first salary or
incentive compensation, part or all of which is to become a Deferred Amount, is
earned.
b. Any investment election under paragraph 3 or 4 relating to initial or
periodic investment of Deferred Amounts in stock of TCF Financial, whether as a
result of an initial or yearly election to participate in the Plan or a change
in the level of participation in the Plan, shall be exercised in writing by the
Employee and filed with the Committee no later than the date prior to the date
the first salary or incentive compensation, part or all of which is to become a
Deferred Amount, is earned. Deferred Amounts of salary or incentive
compensation, to the extent they are forwarded to the trustee, shall be so
forwarded on or immediately after the payroll date of the salary or incentive
compensation which is being deferred and shall be deemed to be invested on the
same date on which the Trustee purchases the designated investments. The
Trustee shall purchase such investments as soon as practicable after the payroll
date for which the Deferred Amount is received, and in the case of investments
consisting of equity securities of TCF Financial, no later than two weeks after
such payroll date with the exact date and purchase terms to be determined by a
stock broker or other investment professional on the basis of such person's
judgment as to the best available purchase price for the Plan and Trust. If
Deferred Amounts are not forwarded to the Trustee, investments in equity
securities of TCF Financial shall be deemed to occur at average of the high and
low trading price for such securities on the payroll date.
c. Any investment election under paragraph 3 or 4 relating to liquidation
of existing investments and reinvestment or reapplication of proceeds within the
Plan or Trust shall be exercised in writing and filed with the Committee by the
Employee on any date, provided that any such election relating to equity
securities of TCF Financial is at least six months after the date of the
Employee's last such discretionary election of an opposite type (buy-sell or
sell-buy) relating to equity securities of TCF Financial under this or any other
benefit plan of the Company. Liquidation and/or reinvestment of funds within
the Plan or Trust under Section 3 or 4 shall occur as soon as practicable after
the Employee's election is filed with the Committee, provided that the Committee
determines it is a valid election and in the case of liquidation or reinvestment
in equity securities of TCF Financial such election is implemented by the
Trustee no later than two weeks after the date such election is filed with the
Committee and determined to be valid, with the exact date(s) and terms of any
such transaction involving equity securities of TCF Financial to be determined
by a stock broker or other investment professional on the basis of such person's
judgment as to the then best available purchase or sale price for the Plan and
Trust. If Deferred Amounts have not been forwarded to the Trustee, to the
extent there are no actual funds to implement the Employee's election such
election shall be deemed to be
<PAGE>
implemented at the average of the high and low sales prices for the equity
securities of TCF Financial on the date the election was filed with the
Committee and determined to be valid and for other investments on such basis as
the Trustee reasonably determines.
d. In the event of one or more distributions to an Employee subject to this
Section under Section 5 of this Plan, the Committee shall specify whether such
distributions will be in cash or in kind and, to the extent the account to be
liquidated is invested in equity securities of TCF Financial, the value of such
securities shall be equal to their value on or about the third business day
prior to the date of distribution.
e. In the case of an Employee subject to this Section, an election under
Section 6 for an emergency payout resulting in liquidation of equity securities
of TCF Financial shall be exercised by such Employee no sooner than six months
after any election by such Employee to purchase equity securities of TCF
Financial under this plan or any other plan of the Company. The value of equity
securities of TCF Financial for purposes of such distribution shall be their
value on or about the third business day prior to the date of the distribution.
I, Gregory J. Pulles, Secretary of TCF Financial Corporation do hereby
certify that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of excerpt of minutes of
the Board of Directors meeting of TCF Financial Corporation held on October 22,

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have entered into the aforementioned

revised as follows:
1. To limit the scope and prohibitions against the Executive
engaging, on behalf of a competing entity, in the types of
business conducted by a commercial bank, thrift institution, or
consumer finance company in which the Company or the TCF
Subsidiaries are currently engaged; and
2. To limit the geographic scope of the Agreement to an area within
a 50-mile radius of the offices of the Company or any TCF

Change in Control, for a period of one year after such termination of the
Executive's employment, the Executive agrees that he will not directly or
indirectly substantially compete with the Company or the TCF Subsidiaries.
The Executive shall be deemed to be substantially competing with the
Company and the TCF Subsidiaries if, without the prior written approval of
the Board of Directors of the Company, he becomes an officer, employee,
agent, partner or director of any bank, savings institution or consumer
finance company which engages in the types of business in which the Company

TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION
1997 MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE PLAN - EXECUTIVE
1. ELIGIBILITY - Each Participant shall be given a copy of this 1997
Management Incentive Plan for Executives (the "Plan") and required to sign an
acknowledgment of its terms. The participants in the Plan are those approved by
the Personnel/Affirmative Action Committee (the "Committee"): the Chairman, Vice
Chairs, President and Executive Vice Presidents of TCF Financial, and the CEO of
each subsidiary bank.
2. All participants will be initially evaluated by the Chairman of TCF
Financial (the "Chairman") who will forward all recommendations to the Committee
for approval. The Committee evaluates the performance of the Chairman. The
Committee will consider the Return on Average Assets ("ROA") performance and
shall also evaluate all other matters it deems appropriate in its sole
discretion, subject to limits imposed on such discretion under the
Performance-Based Plan. Evaluations will be performed pursuant to the terms of
the TCF Performance-Based Compensation Policy for Covered Executive Officers
(the "Performance-Based Plan") in the case of Covered Executive Officer (as
defined in that Plan).
3. The criteria for awards (subject to paragraph 4) is as follows:
a. The amount of incentive payable to a participant shall be determined
by the achievement of ROA financial goals on Exhibit A attached. ROA will be
calculated as provided in the Performance-Based Plan rounded to the nearest
one-hundredth. The bonus percentage shall be calculated, in the case of ROA
achievement which falls between goals, by interpolation as follows: The amount
by which the ROA achievement exceeds the goal shall be divided by the amount
between the ROA goal exceeded and the next ROA goal. The result shall be stated
in the form of a percentage which shall be multiplied by the total percentage
points between ROA goals. The result shall be added to the bonus percentage
corresponding to the ROA goal that was exceeded.
4. The Committee may, in its discretion, reduce, defer or eliminate the amount
of the incentive determined under paragraph 3.a. of this Agreement for a Covered
Executive Officer in the Performance-Based Plan. In addition, for participants
who are not subject to the Performance-Based Plan, the Committee may in its
discretion increase the amount of the incentive calculated under paragraph 3.a.
of this Agreement. The Committee has authority to make interpretations under
this Plan and to approve the calculation under Paragraph 3.a. Incentive
compensation will be paid in cash as soon as possible following approval of
awards by the Personnel Committee. Except for Covered Executive Officers, the
participant must be employed by TCF Financial (or the same subsidiary as
employed by on the date of this Acknowledgement) on the date the incentive is
paid in the same job position as the position for which the incentive was earned
in order to receive the incentive payment. However, where the participant has
transferred to another position within TCF, the Committee may in its discretion
determine to pay part, none, or all of the incentive based on any factors the
Committee considers to be relevant.
5. The Committee may amend this Plan from time to time as it deems
appropriate, except that no provision of the Performance-Based Plan may be
amended except in accordance with its terms. This Plan shall not be construed
as a contract of employment, nor shall it be considered a term of employment,
nor as a binding contract to pay awards. The undersigned acknowledges he/she is
employed "at will".
6. This Plan is effective for service on or after January 1, 1997 and
supersedes and replaces the prior Management Incentive Compensation Plan and any
other prior incentive arrangements with respect to executives in this Plan. The
Plan may not be amended except in writing signed by TCF Financial, the employer
(if other than TCF Financial) and the executive.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I have received, read, and acknowledge the terms of the foregoing plan.

of the Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors of TCF Financial
Corporation who qualify as non-employee directors from time to time under Rule

<PAGE>
10. RULE 16b-3.. This Plan is intended to qualify for the exemption from
short swing profits liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 provided by Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, for a director who is
subject to liability under Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, the following special provisions apply:
a. Any election of Deferred Amounts of stock or fees under paragraph l.b.
shall be exercised in writing by the Director and filed with the Committee no
later than the date prior to the date the stock grant is awarded or the first
date on which fees, part or all of which is to become a Deferred Amount, begin
to be earned. Deferred Amounts of fees, to the extent they are forwarded to
the trustee, shall be so forwarded on or immediately after the date on which the
fees would otherwise be paid and shall be deemed to be invested in TCF Stock on
the same date and for the same purchase price as the Trustee actually purchases
such Stock. The Trustee shall purchase such the Stock as soon as practicable
after the fees payment date for which the Deferred Amount is received, and in
any event no later than two weeks after such date, with the exact date and
purchase terms to be determined by a stock broker or other investment
professional on the basis of such person's judgment as to the best available
purchase price for the Plan and Trust. If Deferred Amounts are not forwarded to
the Trustee, the deferred fees shall be deemed to be invested in TCF Stock at
the average of the high and low sales prices for such Stock on the date the fees
would otherwise be paid.
b. In the event of one or more distributions to a Director subject to this
Section under Section 5 of this Plan, the Committee shall specify whether such
distributions will be in cash or in TCF Stock and for purposes of the
distribution the value of such Stock shall be equal to its value on or about the
third business day prior to the date of distribution.
c. In the case of a Director subject to this Section, for purposes of an
emergency payout resulting in liquidation of TCF Stock the value of TCF Stock
shall be equal to its value on or about the third business day prior to the
distribution.

record 20.22% in 1996, compared with 19.64% in 1995 and 15.94% in 1994.
The 1996 results of operations show continued improvement in TCF's core
operating earnings. TCF's net interest income was a record $340.1 million and
net interest margin was a record 5.26% for 1996, representing increases of 6.6%
and 14.1%, respectively, over 1995 results. Non-interest income, excluding
gains on sales of branches and loans and the 1995 losses from merger-related
asset-sales, increased $16.6 million, or 12.5%, to $149.6 million for 1996,
compared with $133 million for 1995. Operating expenses (non-interest expense
excluding the FDIC special assessment, provision for real estate losses and 1995
merger-related charges) totaled $305.8 million for 1996, up 5.7% from $289.4
million for 1995. Provisions for credit and real estate losses totaled $20.3
million in 1996, compared with $17 million in 1995 and $14.8 million in 1994.
The 1995 provision for credit losses included $5 million in Great Lakes
merger-related provisions.
TCF's net interest income of $319.2 million and net interest margin of
4.61% for 1995 increased 14.3% and 16.4%, respectively, over 1994 results.
Non-interest income, excluding gains on sales of branches and losses from
merger-related asset sales at Great Lakes, increased $7.8 million, or 6.2%, to
$133 million for 1995, compared with $125.2 million for 1994. Operating
expenses (non-interest expense excluding the provision for real estate losses
and 1995 merger-related charges) totaled $289.4 million for 1995, up 6% from
$273 million for 1994.
TCF's net interest income of $279.2 million and net interest margin of
3.96% for 1994 increased 6.9% and 7.3%, respectively, over 1993 results.
Non-interest income totaled $125.2 million for 1994, compared with $139 million
for 1993. Operating expenses (non-interest expense excluding the provision for
real estate losses and 1993 merger-related charges) totaled $273 million for
1994, up 6.1% from $257.2 million for 1993.
NET INTEREST INCOME
A significant component of TCF's earnings is net interest income, which is
the difference between interest earned on loans, mortgage-backed securities held
to maturity, investments, securities available for sale and other
interest-earning assets (interest income), and interest paid on deposits and
borrowings (interest expense). This amount, when divided by average
interest-earning assets, is referred to as the net interest margin, expressed as
a percentage. Net interest income and net interest margin are affected by
changes in interest rates, the volume and the mix of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. The
arithmetic difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost
of interest-bearing liabilities expressed as a percentage is referred to as the
net interest rate spread.
Net interest income was a record $340.1 million for the year ended December
31, 1996, up from $319.2 million in 1995 and $279.2 million in 1994. This
represents an increase of 6.6% in 1996, following increases of 14.3% in 1995
and 6.9% in 1994. Total average interest-earning assets decreased 6.5% in 1996,
1.9% in 1995 and .4% in 1994. The net interest margin for 1996 was a record
5.26%, compared with 4.61% in 1995 and 3.96% in 1994. In addition, TCF's net
interest-rate spread was 4.71% in 1996, compared with 4.16% and 3.65% in 1995
and 1994, respectively.

TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Financial Review - (Continued)
In 1996, TCF's net interest income, net interest margin and interest-rate
spread increased primarily due to the growth of higher-yielding consumer loans,
the favorable impact of the 1995 merger-related restructuring activities, the
November 30, 1995 redemption of $34.5 million of 10% subordinated capital notes,
lower average levels of non-performing assets, and increased capital. Net
interest income increased $20.9 million, or 6.6%, even though total average
interest-earning assets decreased by $451.3 million, or 6.5% from 1995 levels.
TCF's net interest income improved by $7.2 million due to volume changes and by
$13.8 million due to rate changes. The favorable impact of the lower cost of
funds and growth in consumer loan and securities available for sale volumes was
partially offset by decreased volumes in mortgage-backed securities and
residential real estate loans. Growth in TCF's net interest margin has slowed
in recent periods. TCF's net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 1996 was
5.36%, unchanged from the third quarter of 1996. Maintaining this margin growth
is dependent on TCF's ability to generate higher yielding assets. Interest
income decreased $24.8 million in 1996, reflecting a decrease of $25.3 million
due to volume. Interest expense decreased $45.8 million in 1996, reflecting
decreases of $32.5 million due to volume and $13.3 million due to a lower cost
of funds. The increase in net interest income due to the favorable impact of
rate changes reflects in part TCF's changing asset/liability mix, with greater
emphasis on higher-yielding consumer loans and less emphasis on mortgage-backed
securities. If variable index rates (e.g., prime) were to decline, TCF may
experience compression of its net interest margin depending on the timing and
amount of any reductions, as it is possible that interest rates paid on retail
deposits will not decline as quickly, or to the same extent, as the decline in
the yield on interest-rate-sensitive assets such as home equity loans. In
addition, competition for checking, savings and money market deposits, an
important source of lower cost funds for TCF, has intensified among depository
and other financial institutions. TCF may also experience compression in its
net interest margin if the rates paid on deposits increase. See "Financial
Condition - Deposits" and "Financial Condition - Asset/Liability Management -
Interest-Rate Risk."
In 1995, TCF's net interest income, net interest margin and interest-rate
spread increased primarily due to increased yields and growth of consumer loans,
the favorable impact of the Great Lakes merger-related restructuring activities,
lower average levels of non-performing assets, and increased capital. Net
interest income increased $40 million, or 14.3%, even though total average
interest-earning assets decreased by $135.6 million, or 1.9% from 1994 levels.
TCF's net interest income improved by $13 million due to volume changes and by
$27 million due to rate changes. The favorable impact of growth in higher-
yielding consumer loans was partially offset by the negative impact of a higher
cost of funds and decreased volumes in mortgage-backed securities held to
maturity and securities available for sale. Interest income increased $55.2
million in 1995, reflecting an increase of $50.5 million due to higher yields on
interest-earning assets. Interest expense increased $15.2 million in 1995,
reflecting a $23.5 million increase due to a higher cost of funds. The increase
in net interest income due to the favorable impact of rate changes reflects in
part the benefit from TCF's changing asset/liability mix.
In 1994, TCF's net interest income, net interest margin and interest-rate
spread increased primarily due to increased yields and growth of consumer loans,
lower average levels of non-performing assets, a lower cost of funds and the
retention of earnings. Net interest income increased $18 million, or 6.9%, even
though total average interest-earning assets decreased by $26 million, or .4%
from 1993 levels. TCF's net interest income improved by $7.5 million due to
volume changes and by $10.4 million due to rate changes. The favorable impact
of the lower cost of funds and growth in lower interest cost deposits and
higher-yielding consumer and residential real estate loans was partially offset
by the negative impact of decreased volumes in commercial real estate loans,
loans held for sale and mortgage- backed securities held to maturity. Interest
income decreased $6.2 million in 1994 reflecting a decrease of $5.7 million due
to lower yields on interest-earning assets. Interest expense decreased $24.1
million in 1994, of which $16.1 million was due to a lower cost of funds. The
increase in net interest income due to the favorable impact of rate changes
reflects in part the benefit from TCF's changing asset/liability mix. TCF also
benefitted from increases in both short- and long-term market interest rates as
its interest-rate-sensitive assets tied to a variable index rate (e.g., prime)
repriced at a faster rate than its retail deposits in 1994.

The following table sets forth the spread between TCF's interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 1996 and 1995. The net
interest-rate spreads below represent the differences between the yield on
interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities at those
dates:

(1) Excludes non-interest bearing deposits.
The net interest-rate spread increased 2 basis points to 4.47% at December
31, 1996 from 4.45% at December 31, 1995. The 4 basis point increase in the
loan portfolio yield to 9.52% at December 31, 1996 reflects a shift to higher-
yielding consumer loans. The commercial base lending rate at TCF was 8.50% at
December 31, 1996, unchanged from December 31, 1995. The 49 basis point
decrease in the loans held-for-sale portfolio yield to 7.40% at December 31,
1996 reflects the origination of education loans at lower rates. The 217 basis
point decrease in the investments portfolio yield to 5.50% at December 31, 1996
reflects an increase in the balance of lower yielding interest-bearing deposits.
The weighted average cost of deposits, excluding non-interest bearing deposits,
decreased 22 basis points to 3.86% at December 31, 1996 due to lower market
interest rates. The weighted average cost of FHLB advances decreased to 5.66%
at December 31, 1996 due to lower short-term market interest rates. The weighted
average cost of other borrowings increased 8 basis points to 6.25% at December
31, 1996. This increase reflects a decrease in lower cost federal funds
purchased. TCF's net interest-rate spread at December 31, 1996 may not be
indicative of net interest-rate spreads in future periods.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income is a significant source of revenues for TCF and an
important factor in TCF's results of operations. Providing a wide range of
retail banking services is an integral component of TCF's business philosophy
and a major strategy for generating additional non-interest income. Excluding
gains on sales of branches and loans and the 1995 losses from merger-related
asset sales at Great Lakes, non-interest income increased $16.6 million, or
12.5%, during 1996 to $149.6 million, reflecting increases in fee and service
charge revenues, gains on sales of loans held for sale, title insurance
revenues, and automated teller machine ("ATM") network revenue. These increases
were partially offset by a decrease in gains on sales of loan servicing. The
following table presents the components of non-interest income:

TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Financial Review - (Continued)
Fee and service charge revenues increased $10.7 million in 1996 and $6
million in 1995 primarily as a result of expanded retail and mortgage banking
activities. Included in fee and service charge revenues are fees of $15.3
million, $15.1 million and $14.5 million received for the servicing of loans
owned by others during 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, TCF was servicing real estate loans for others with aggregate
unpaid principal balances of $4.5 billion, $4.5 billion and $4.4 billion,
respectively.
ATM network revenues increased $912,000, or 8.6%, in 1996 and $1.6 million,
or 17.6%, in 1995. These increases reflect TCF's efforts to provide banking
services through its ATM network. TCF expanded its network of ATM's to 917 at
December 31, 1996 by installing 160 ATM's during 1996. The Company anticipates
installing additional ATM's during 1997.
Title insurance revenues increased $2 million in 1996 to $13.5 million,
following an increase of $1.2 million in 1995 to $11.5 million. Title insurance
revenues for 1996 and 1995 were positively affected by industry-wide increases
in residential real estate loan originations and refinancing activity. Title
insurance revenues are cyclical in nature and are largely dependent on the level
of residential real estate loan originations and refinancings.
Commissions on sales of annuities increased $577,000 to $9.1 million in
1996, following a decrease of $2.8 million to $8.6 million in 1995. Sales of
annuities may fluctuate from period to period, and future sales levels will
depend upon continued favorable tax treatment, the level of interest rates,
general economic conditions and investor preferences.
Gains on sales of loans held for sale increased $1.3 million in 1996
following an increase of $1.6 million in 1995. Gains on sales of securities
available for sale, excluding merger-related sales, totaled $85,000 in 1996, a
decrease of $35,000 from the $120,000 recognized in 1995. Gains or losses on
sales of loans held for sale and securities available for sale may fluctuate
significantly from period to period due to changes in interest rates and
volumes, and results in any period related to these transactions may not be
indicative of results which will be obtained in future periods.
Gains on sales of third-party loan servicing rights totaled $1.5 million in
1995, compared with $2.4 million in 1994. These gains were recognized on the
sale of third-party servicing rights on approximately $146.3 million and $169
million of loans, respectively. TCF periodically sells loan servicing rights
depending on market conditions.
Other non-interest income increased $2.7 million in 1996 to $10 million,
and $1.8 million in 1995 to $7.3 million. The increases were primarily due to
increased commission revenue earned on sales of insurance and mutual fund
products.
During 1996, TCF recognized gains of $2.7 million on the sales of two
Minnesota branches, two Michigan branches and one Wisconsin branch, compared
with gains of $1.1 million on the sales of three Minnesota branches during 1995.
During 1996, TCF recognized a $4.6 million gain on the sale of $39.6
million of credit card loans. The Company now provides credit card products on
behalf of a third party through a marketing agreement. Also during 1996, TCF
recognized a gain of $810,000 on the sale of $7.2 million of loans related to
the previously described sale of two Minnesota branches.
During 1995, Great Lakes sold $232.2 million of collateralized mortgage
obligations from its held-to-maturity portfolio at a pretax loss of $21 million.
Also in 1995, Great Lakes sold $17.3 million of securities available for sale at
a pretax loss of $310,000. These merger-related asset sales were completed as
part of TCF's strategy to reduce Great Lakes' interest-rate and credit risk to
levels consistent with TCF's existing interest-rate risk position and credit
risk policy.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense, excluding the FDIC special assessment, provision for
real estate losses, and 1995 merger-related charges, increased $16.5 million, or
5.7%, in 1996, and $16.4 million, or 6%, in 1995, as compared with the
respective prior years.

Compensation and employee benefits, representing 44.5% and 44% of total
non-interest expense in 1996 and 1995, respectively, increased $12.2 million, or
8.7%, in 1996, and $9.8 million, or 7.5%, in 1995. The 1996 increase was
primarily due to the expansion of consumer lending operations and other retail
banking activities. The 1995 increase was primarily due to the expansion of
consumer lending and consumer finance operations and other retail banking
activities, partially offset by compensation and benefit cost savings associated
with the reduction in residential mortgage originations. Residential mortgage
originations at TCF were $981.5 million in 1996, $989.7 million in 1995, and
$1.5 billion in 1994.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $582,000 in 1996 and $2.3
million in 1995. The increase in 1996 reflects the opening of 12 savings bank
branch offices. The 1995 increase was largely due to expanded consumer finance
activities, including the opening of 24 new consumer finance offices.
Advertising and promotion expenses increased $60,000 in 1996 and $2.5
million in 1995. The increases reflect the increase in direct mail and other
marketing expenses relating to the promotion of TCF's consumer lending and
deposit products.
Federal deposit insurance premiums and assessments totaled $12 million for
1996, a decrease of $1.5 million from 1995. The decrease in 1996 was primarily
due to lower deposit levels and a decrease in the 1996 fourth quarter deposit
insurance premium rates as a result of the recapitalization of the SAIF.
Other non-interest expense increased $5.1 million, or 7.8%, in 1996 and
$3.1 million, or 5%, in 1995. The increase in 1996 was primarily due to costs
associated with the relocation and consolidation of certain back-office
operations, the expansion of TCF's consumer lending operations, and other retail
banking activities. In addition, the increase reflects an increase in Michigan
state business taxes due to improved profitability. The increase in 1995
reflects fourth quarter severance payments related to Great Lakes and an
increase in telecommunications expense resulting from TCF's expansion of its
banking operations.
The provision for real estate losses decreased $1.4 million, or 76%, to
$433,000 in 1996, following a decrease of $2.2 million, or 55.1%, to $1.8
million in 1995. The amounts provided for real estate losses in each of the
three years were considered prudent by management in light of all factors
affecting reserve adequacy. See "Financial Condition - Allowances for Loan and
Real Estate Losses and Industrial Revenue Bond Reserves" for further detail on
the provision for real estate losses.
TCF's 1996 results include a one-time special assessment of $34.8 million
from the FDIC to recapitalize the SAIF under federal legislation enacted on
September 30, 1996. As a result, the rate charged to TCF by the FDIC for
federal deposit insurance premiums declined from 23 basis points to 6.48 basis
points beginning in January 1997. See "Financial Condition - Recent Legislative
and Regulatory Developments."

TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Financial Review - (Continued)
Merger-related expenses for 1995 included $13.9 million of equipment
charges associated with the integration of Great Lakes' data processing system
into TCF's, $4.7 million of employment contract, severance and employment
benefit costs reflecting the consolidation of certain Great Lakes functions, and
$2.2 million of professional fees and $864,000 of other expenses which were
incurred by Great Lakes as a direct result of the merger.
During 1995, Great Lakes prepaid $112.3 million of Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") advances at a pretax loss of $1.5 million. This amount, net of a
$578,000 income tax benefit, was recorded as an extraordinary item. Interest-
rate exchange contracts with notional principal amounts totaling $544.5 million
were terminated by Great Lakes at a pretax loss of $4.4 million. These actions
were taken in order to reduce Great Lakes' level of higher-cost wholesale
borrowings and to reduce interest-rate risk.
INCOME TAXES
TCF recorded income tax expense of $51.4 million in 1996, compared with
$37.8 million in 1995 and $46.4 million in 1994. Income tax expense represented
37.5% of income before income tax expense and extraordinary item during 1996,
compared with 38% and 39.8% in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The lower rate in
1996 reflects the impact of relatively lower non-deductible expenses, including
merger-related expenses. TCF expects that its effective tax rate will increase
during 1997.
Further detail on income taxes is provided in Note 13 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
INVESTMENTS
Total investments increased $377.8 million in 1996 to $442.1 million at
December 31, 1996. Interest-bearing deposits with banks increased $371.6
million during 1996 to $372.1 million at December 31, 1996. In addition, FHLB
stock increased $6 million in 1996 to $66.1 million at December 31, 1996. TCF
had no non-investment grade debt securities (junk bonds) and there were no open
trading account or investment option positions as of December 31, 1996.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with the unrealized
gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported as a separate component
of stockholders' equity. Securities available for sale decreased $201.9 million
during 1996 to $999.6 million at December 31, 1996, primarily due to repayment
and prepayment activity. At December 31, 1996, TCF's securities available-for-
sale portfolio included $106 million and $893.6 million of adjustable-rate and
fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, respectively. Securities available for
sale totaled $1.2 billion at December 31, 1995.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Residential real estate and education loans held for sale are carried at
the lower of cost or market. Education and residential real estate loans held
for sale decreased $17.4 million and $21.1 million, respectively, from year-end
1995 and totaled $146.3 million and $57.6 million, respectively, at December 31,
1996. Under a forward commitment agreement with the Student Loan Marketing
Association ("SLMA"), TCF can sell the education loans to SLMA once they are
fully disbursed, but must sell the loans to SLMA before they go into repayment
status.

TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Financial Review - (Continued)
Residential real estate loans totaled $2.3 billion at December 31, 1996, a
decrease of $357.5 million from December 31, 1995. This decrease largely
reflects an increase in loan repayment activity, partially offset by the
origination and retention of $270.1 million of residential real estate loans.
At December 31, 1996, TCF's residential real estate loan portfolio was comprised
of $1.3 billion of fixed-rate loans and $987.6 million of adjustable-rate loans.
Consumer loans totaled $1.8 billion at December 31, 1996, an increase of
$207.6 million from December 31, 1995. This change was primarily due to a
$180.9 million increase in TCF's home equity loan portfolio and a $93.5 million
increase in automobile and marine loans, partially offset by a $44.5 million
decrease in credit card loans primarily due to the previously mentioned sale of
$39.6 million in outstanding balances. The growth in automobile and marine and
home equity loans reflects TCF's expanded consumer lending and consumer finance
operations. Consumer loan growth in recent years reflects TCF's emphasis on
expanding its portfolio of these higher-yielding, shorter-term loans, including
home equity loans.
TCF has significantly expanded its consumer finance operations in recent
periods and had 61 consumer finance offices in 16 states as of December 31,
1996. TCF's consumer finance loan portfolio totaled $496.3 million at December
31, 1996, compared with $374.4 million at December 31, 1995. In the 1996 fourth
quarter, TCF combined 13 consumer offices into existing locations. The Company
intends to concentrate on increasing the outstanding loan balances of its
existing consumer finance offices and improving the profitability of its
consumer finance subsidiaries before considering any further expansion of this
operation.
TCF's consumer finance subsidiaries primarily originate automobile and home
equity loans and purchase automobile loans, and also engage in the origination
of loans through loan brokers to a limited extent. The average individual
balance of consumer finance automobile and marine loans, and home equity loans
were $8,000 and $30,000, respectively, at December 31, 1996. At December 31,
1996 and 1995, automobile and marine loans comprised $299.6 million, or 60.4%,
and $207.8 million, or 55.5%, respectively, of total consumer finance loans
outstanding. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, home equity loans comprised $185.2
million, or 37.3%, and $154.8 million, or 41.3%, respectively, of total consumer
finance loans. TCF's consumer finance subsidiaries are seeking to increase the
percentage of home equity loans to total consumer finance loans over time. Home
equity loans originated by the Company's consumer finance subsidiaries are
generally closed end.
Through their purchases of automobile loans, TCF's consumer finance
subsidiaries provide indirect financing. The Company's consumer finance
subsidiaries serve as an alternative source of financing to customers who might
otherwise not be able to obtain financing from more traditional sources.
Included in the consumer finance loans at December 31, 1996 are $252.6 million
of sub-prime automobile and marine loans which carry a higher level of credit
risk and higher interest rates. The term sub-prime refers to the Company's
assessment of credit risk and bears no relationship to the prime rate of
interest or persons who are able to borrow at that rate. There can be no
assurances that the Company's sub-prime lending criteria are the same as those
utilized by other lenders. Loans classified as sub-prime are to borrowers that
because of significant past credit problems or limited credit histories are
unable to obtain credit from traditional sources.
Although competition in the sub-prime lending market has increased, the
Company believes that sub-prime borrowers represent a substantial market and
their demand for financing has not been adequately served by traditional lending
sources. The underwriting criteria for loans originated by TCF's consumer
finance subsidiaries generally have been less stringent than those historically
adhered to by TCF's savings bank subsidiaries and, as a result, carry a higher
level of credit risk and higher interest rates. The rapid expansion of the
higher-risk lending engaged in by the Company's consumer finance subsidiaries is
expected, as these portfolios mature, to result in increases in consumer loan
loss and delinquency ratios. These portfolios also represent an increased risk
of loss in the event of adverse economic developments such as a recession. TCF
believes that important determinants of success in sub-prime automobile
financing include the ability to control borrower and dealer misrepresentations
at the point of origination; the evaluation of the creditworthiness of sub-prime
borrowers; and the maintenance of an active program to monitor performance and
collect payments. Sub-prime lending is inherently more risky than traditional
lending and there can be no assurance that all appropriate underwriting criteria
have been identified or weighted properly in the assessment of credit risk, or
will afford adequate protection against the higher risks inherent in lending to
sub-prime borrowers.

Financial Review - (Continued)
Many of the consumer finance offices are new and are outside TCF's
traditional market areas. The geographic location of consumer finance loans may
change significantly in future periods. See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information concerning the geographic
locations of TCF's consumer finance loan portfolio.
TCF's savings bank and consumer finance subsidiaries have also initiated
the origination of home equity loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%,
and up to 100%, that carry no private mortgage insurance. These loans carry a
higher level of credit risk and higher interest rates.
The following table summarizes TCF's commercial real estate loan portfolio

(1) Includes construction and development loans.
Commercial real estate loans decreased $109.7 million in 1996 to $861.1
million at December 31, 1996. Commercial business loans decreased $11 million
to $156.7 million at December 31, 1996. TCF is seeking to expand its
commercial real estate and commercial business lending activity to borrowers
located in its primary midwestern markets in an attempt to maintain the size of
these lending portfolios and, where feasible under local economic conditions,
achieve some growth in these lending categories over time. These loans
generally have larger individual balances and a greater inherent risk of loss.
The risk of loss is difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in real
estate values. At December 31, 1996, approximately 93% of TCF's commercial real
estate loans outstanding were secured by properties located in its primary
markets. The average individual balance of commercial real estate loans was
$556,000 at December 31, 1996. Apartment loans comprised $339.8 million, or
39.5%, of total commercial real estate loans outstanding at December 31, 1996.
The average individual balance of commercial business loans was $228,000 at
December 31, 1996.
Included in performing loans at December 31, 1996 are commercial real
estate loans aggregating $3 million with terms that have been modified in
troubled debt restructurings, compared with $1.6 million of such loans at
December 31, 1995.
The results of hotel and motel operations are susceptible to changes in
prevailing economic conditions. Included in commercial real estate loans at
December 31, 1996 are $78.7 million of loans secured by hotel or motel
properties. Ten loans comprise $52.7 million, or 67%, of the total hotel and
motel portfolio. Of the total hotel and motel portfolio balance, one loan
totaling $1.5 million is included in loans subject to management concern and one
loan totaling $272,000 is included in non-accrual loans. TCF continues to
closely monitor the performance of these loans and properties.
ALLOWANCES FOR LOAN AND REAL ESTATE LOSSES AND INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND RESERVES
Credit risk is the risk of loss from a customer default. TCF has in place
a process to identify and manage its credit risks. The process includes initial
credit review and approval, periodic monitoring to measure compliance with
credit agreements and internal credit policies, identification of problem loans
and special procedures for collection of problem loans. See Note 1 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning TCF's
allowances for loan and real estate losses.
While TCF's investments in commercial real estate loans, commercial
business loans and related properties acquired through foreclosure or by other
means have significantly decreased in recent years, such loans and investments
have larger individual balances and a substantially greater inherent risk of
loss. The risk of loss on such loans and properties is
26

TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Financial Review - (Continued)
difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in real estate values. In
addition, concerns remain over the future course of the economy and particularly
the related impact on the real estate values associated with these loans and
properties. A weakness in commercial real estate markets may result in further
declines in the values of TCF's real estate or the sale of individual properties
at less than previously estimated values, resulting in additional charge-offs.
TCF recognizes the effect of such events in the periods in which they occur.
The provisions for credit and real estate losses included in the
consolidated statements of operations totaled $20.3 million in 1996, compared
with $17 million in 1995 and $14.8 million in 1994. Included in the provision
for credit losses in 1995 are $5 million of merger-related provisions. The
merger-related provisions were established to conform Great Lakes' credit loss
reserve practices and methods to those of TCF and to allow for the accelerated
disposition of Great Lakes' remaining problem assets.
At December 31, 1996, the allowances for loan and real estate losses and
industrial revenue bond reserves totaled $73.5 million, compared with $69.2
million at December 31, 1995. The increase in TCF's allowance for loan losses
reflects the growth in the balances of higher-risk categories of loans, which
carry greater guideline reserve requirements. Net loan, real estate and
industrial revenue bond charge-offs were $15.9 million in 1996, compared with
$9.5 million in 1995. TCF has experienced an increase in the level of net loan
charge-offs related to its consumer finance portfolio. As a result, net loan
charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding for TCF's consumer
finance portfolio increased to 2.42% for the year ended December 31, 1996,
compared with 1.06% for the same period in 1995. In addition, the net loan
charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding for TCF's automobile
and marine consumer finance portfolio increased to 3.51% for the year ended
December 31, 1996, compared with 1.72% for the same period in 1995. The
unallocated portion of TCF's allowance for loan losses totaled $22.4 million at
December 31, 1996, compared with $17.8 million at December 31, 1995.
A summary of the allowances for loan and real estate losses and industrial
revenue bond reserves and selected statistics is presented in Note 7 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
Non-performing assets (principally non-accrual loans and real estate
acquired through foreclosure) totaled $46.2 million at December 31, 1996, down
$24.6 million, or 34.7%, from the December 31, 1995 total of $70.7 million.
The decrease in non-performing assets reflects the accelerated disposition of
certain of Great Lakes' remaining problem assets, partially offset by a $6
million increase in consumer finance non-accrual loans. Properties acquired are
being actively marketed. Approximately 72% of non-performing assets consist of,
or are secured by, real estate. The accrual of interest income is generally
discontinued when loans become 90 days or more past due with respect to either
principal or interest unless such loans are adequately secured and in the
process of collection.
Non-performing assets are summarized in the following table:

The over 30-day delinquency rate on TCF's loans (excluding loans held for
sale and non-accrual loans) was .84% of gross loans outstanding at December 31,
1996, compared with .78% at year-end 1995. The increase in the over 30-day
delinquency rate reflects an increase in consumer finance delinquencies. TCF's
delinquency rates are determined using the contractual method. The following

TCF's over 30-day delinquency rate on gross consumer loans was 1.62% at
December 31, 1996, down from 1.72% at year-end 1995. Management continues to
monitor the consumer loan portfolio, which will generally have higher
delinquencies, especially consumer finance loans. TCF's over 30-day delinquency
rate on gross consumer finance loans was 3.86% at December 31, 1996, compared
with 3.77% at December 31, 1995. TCF's over 30-day delinquency rate on gross
automobile and marine and home equity consumer finance loans was 4.24% and
3.09%, respectively, at December 31, 1996, compared with 4.36% and 2.64% at
December 31, 1995. Consumer finance lending is generally considered to involve
a higher level of credit risk. TCF believes that it has in place experienced
personnel and acceptable standards for maintaining credit quality that are
consistent with its goals for expanding its portfolio of these higher-yielding
loans, but no assurance can be given as to the level of future delinquencies and
loan charge-offs.
In addition to the non-accrual, restructured and accruing loans 90 days or
more past due, there were commercial real estate and commercial business loans
with an aggregate principal balance of $16 million outstanding at December 31,
1996 for which management has concerns regarding the ability of the borrowers to
meet existing repayment terms. This amount consists of loans that were
classified for regulatory purposes as substandard, doubtful or loss, or were to
borrowers that currently are experiencing financial difficulties or that
management believes may experience financial difficulties in the future. This
compares with $56.5 million of such loans at December 31, 1995. Although these
loans are secured by commercial real estate or other corporate assets, they may
be subject to future modifications of their terms or may become non-performing.
Management is monitoring the performance and classification of such loans and
the financial condition of these borrowers.

Financial Review - (Continued)
LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT
TCF manages its liquidity position to ensure that the funding needs of
depositors and borrowers are met promptly and in a cost-effective manner. Asset
liquidity arises from the ability to convert assets to cash as well as from the
maturity of assets. Liability liquidity results from the ability of TCF to
attract a diversity of funding sources to meet funding requirements promptly.
TCF's wholly owned savings bank subsidiaries are required by federal regulations
to maintain a monthly average minimum asset liquidity ratio of 5%. These
subsidiaries have maintained average monthly liquidity ratios in excess of this
requirement.
Deposits are the primary source of TCF's funds for use in lending and for
other general business purposes. In addition to deposits, TCF derives funds
primarily from loan repayments, advances from the FHLB and proceeds from reverse
repurchase borrowing agreements. Deposit inflows and outflows are significantly
influenced by general interest rates, money market conditions, competition for
funds and other factors. TCF's deposit inflows and outflows have been affected
by these factors and may continue to be affected in future periods. Borrowings
may be used to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds, such as
deposit inflows at less than projected levels, net deposit outflows or to
support expanded activities. Historically, TCF has borrowed primarily from the
FHLB, from institutional sources under reverse repurchase agreements and, to a
lesser extent, from other sources. See "Borrowings."
Potential sources of liquidity for TCF Financial Corporation (parent
company only) include cash dividends from TCF Minnesota and Great Lakes, TCF's
wholly owned savings bank subsidiaries, cash flows from other direct
subsidiaries, issuance of equity securities, borrowings under the Company's $70
million bank line of credit, and interest income. TCF Minnesota's and Great
Lakes' ability to pay dividends or make other capital distributions to TCF is
restricted by regulation and may require regulatory approval. Retained earnings
at December 31, 1996 includes approximately $109.9 million for which no
provision for federal income tax has been made. This amount represents earnings
appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes
and is not available for payment of cash dividends or other distributions to
shareholders. Payments or distributions of these appropriated earnings could
invoke a tax liability for TCF based on the amount of earnings removed and
current tax rates.
At December 31, 1996, in addition to TCF Minnesota and Great Lakes, TCF
Financial Corporation directly owned four insurance agency subsidiaries engaging
in the sale of single premium tax-deferred annuities, and mutual funds.
Dividends from these subsidiaries to TCF were $4.1 million and $2.8 million for
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Future dividends from
these subsidiaries are dependent upon continued favorable tax treatment for
single premium annuities, and legislative proposals have sought to limit or
eliminate these tax benefits. Cash flows received by TCF Financial Corporation
on the exercise of stock options under the TCF Financial 1995 Incentive Stock
Program and common stock warrants were $1.6 million and $12.5 million for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
DEPOSITS
Deposits totaled $5 billion at December 31, 1996, down $213.9 million from
December 31, 1995. The decrease includes the effects of the previously
described branch sales, and run-off of certificates of deposit. Lower
interest-cost checking, savings and money market deposits totaled $2.6 billion,
up $66.7 million from year-end 1995, and comprised 52.8% of total deposits at
December 31, 1996. Checking, savings and money market deposits are an important
source of lower cost funds and fee income for TCF. The Company's weighted
average rate for deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, decreased to
3.29% at December 31, 1996, from 3.60% at December 31, 1995.
BORROWINGS
Borrowings are used primarily to fund the purchases of investments and
securities available for sale. These borrowings totaled $1.5 billion as of
December 31, 1996, up $52.4 million from $1.4 billion at year-end 1995. The
increase was primarily due to a $247.5 million increase in FHLB advances,
partially offset by decreases of $144.7 million in securities sold under
repurchase agreements and $40 million on TCF's bank line of credit. The
weighted average rate on borrowings decreased to 5.78% at December 31, 1996,
from 5.98% at December 31, 1995.
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities." The statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing
transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured
borrowings, among other things. It requires that a transfer of a financial
asset in which the transferor surrenders control over the financial asset
shall generally be
29
<PAGE>
TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Financial Review - (Continued)
accounted for as a sale, with appropriate recognition of gain or loss. The
statement provides that the transferor has surrendered control if and only if
certain conditions are met. The statement is effective for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after
December 31, 1996, and will be applied prospectively. Earlier or retroactive
application is not permitted. In December 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 127,
"Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No.
125." The statement defers for one year certain provisions of SFAS No. 125
regarding the reclassification of financial assets pledged as collateral and the
provision regarding potential sales treatment for certain repurchase agreements
and similar transactions. Management believes the adoption of these statements
will not significantly impact TCF's financial condition or results of
operations.
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Stockholders' equity at December 31, 1996 was $549.5 million, or 7.7% of
total assets, up from $527.7 million, or 7.3% of total assets, at December 31,
1995. The increase in stockholders' equity is primarily due to net income of
$85.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1996, partially offset by the
repurchase of 1,190,068 shares of TCF's common stock at a cost of $41.4 million,
the payment of $25.3 million in dividends on TCF's common stock and a decrease
of $9.3 million in unrealized gains on securities available for sale.
On January 20, 1997, TCF's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized
the repurchase of up to 5% of TCF common stock, or approximately 1.7 million
shares. On February 25, 1997, the Board rescinded TCF's common stock
repurchase program.
On January 20, 1997, TCF declared a quarterly dividend of 18.75 cents per
common share, payable on February 28, 1997 to stockholders of record as of
February 7, 1997.
RECENT LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS
Federal legislation enacted on September 30, 1996 addressed inadequate
funding of the SAIF, which had resulted in a large deposit insurance premium
disparity between banks insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and
SAIF-insured thrifts. As a result of this new legislation, a one-time special
assessment was imposed on thrift institutions, and TCF recognized a $34.8
million pretax charge for assessments imposed on its savings bank subsidiaries.
The legislation also provides for a reduction in deposit insurance premiums in
subsequent periods and other regulatory reforms.
Other recently enacted federal legislation repealed the reserve method of
accounting for thrift bad debt reserves. This legislation eliminated the
recapture of a thrift institution's bad debt reserve under certain
circumstances, including the institution's conversion to a bank or as a result
of similar charter changes.
As a result of both the BIF/SAIF legislation and repeal of the reserve
method of accounting for bad debts, TCF is pursuing the conversion of its
existing savings bank subsidiaries into national bank subsidiaries. Such a
conversion would require the approval of applications filed with the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency, and would also require the approval of
applications filed with the Federal Reserve Board.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT - INTEREST-RATE RISK
TCF's results of operations are dependent to a large degree on its net
interest income, which is the difference between interest income and interest
expense. Like most financial institutions, TCF's interest income and cost of
funds are significantly affected by general economic conditions and by policies
of regulatory authorities. The mismatch between maturities and interest-rate
sensitivities of assets and liabilities results in interest-rate risk. Although
the measure is subject to a number of assumptions and is only one of a number of
measurements, management believes the interest-rate gap (difference between
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities repricing within a
given period) is an important indication of TCF's exposure to interest-rate risk
and the related volatility of net interest income in a changing interest rate
environment. In addition to the interest-rate gap analysis, management also
utilizes a simulation model to measure and manage TCF's interest-rate risk.
30
<PAGE>
TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Financial Review - (Continued)
For an institution with a positive interest-rate gap for a given period,
the amount of its interest-earning assets maturing or otherwise repricing within
such period exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities repricing within
the same period. In a rising interest-rate environment, institutions with
positive interest-rate gaps will generally experience more immediate increases
in the yield on their assets than in the cost of their liabilities. Conversely,
the cost of funds for institutions with positive interest-rate gaps will
generally decrease more slowly than the yield on their assets in a falling
interest rate environment.
TCF's Asset/Liability Management Committee manages TCF's interest-rate risk
based on interest rate expectations and other factors. The amounts in the
maturity/rate sensitivity table below represent management's estimates and
assumptions. Also, the amounts could be significantly affected by external
factors such as prepayment rates other than those assumed, early withdrawals of
deposits, changes in the correlation of various interest-bearing instruments and
competition. Decisions by management to purchase or sell assets, or retire debt
could change the maturity/repricing and spread relationships. TCF's one-year
interest-rate gap was a positive $60.6 million, or 1% of total assets, at
December 31, 1996, compared with a negative $189.5 million, or (3)% of total
assets, at December 31, 1995.
The following table summarizes TCF's interest-rate gap position at December
31, 1996:

assumptions are well based, no assurance can be given that amounts on
deposit in checking, passbook and statement accounts will not significantly
decrease or be repriced in the event of a general rise in interest rates.

TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TCF
Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. TCF Financial
Corporation ("TCF" or the "Company") is a holding company engaged primarily
in retail community banking and consumer finance lending through its wholly
owned subsidiaries, TCF Bank Minnesota fsb ("TCF Minnesota") and Great
Lakes Bancorp, A Federal Savings Bank ("Great Lakes"). TCF Bank Illinois
fsb ("TCF Illinois") and TCF Bank Wisconsin fsb ("TCF Wisconsin") are
wholly owned subsidiaries of TCF Minnesota. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. For
consolidated statements of cash flows purposes, cash and cash equivalents
include cash and due from banks.
CHANGE IN METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED
ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF
Effective January 1, 1996, TCF adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." The
adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not impact TCF's financial condition or
results of operations for 1996 or any prior period.
ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." SFAS No.
123 establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for
stock-based employee compensation plans. SFAS No. 123 defines a fair value
based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity
instrument and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting
for all of their employee stock compensation plans. However, it also
allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans
using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees." Entities electing to retain the accounting under APB
Opinion No. 25 must make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings
per share, as if the fair value based method of accounting under SFAS No.
123 had been applied. TCF has elected to retain the intrinsic value based
method of accounting. See Note 18 for additional information concerning
SFAS No. 123.
INVESTMENTS
Investments are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums
or accretion of discounts using methods which approximate a level yield.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value with the
unrealized holding gains or losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported
as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Cost of securities sold
is determined on a specific identification basis and gains or losses on
sales of securities available for sale are recognized at trade dates.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Residential real estate and education loans held for sale are carried
at the lower of cost or market determined on an aggregate basis. Cost of
loans sold is determined on a specific identification basis and gains or
losses on sales of loans held for sale are recognized at settlement dates.
Net fees and costs associated with originating and acquiring loans held for
sale are deferred and are included in the basis for determining the gain or
loss on sales of loans held for sale.
LOANS
Net fees and costs associated with originating and acquiring loans are
deferred and amortized over the lives of the loans. Net fees and costs
associated with loan commitments are deferred in other assets or other
liabilities until the loan is advanced. Discounts and premiums on loans
purchased, net deferred fees and unearned discounts and finance charges,
which are considered yield adjustments, are amortized using methods which
approximate a level yield over the estimated remaining lives of the loans.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed to be
adequate by management to provide for estimated loan losses. Management's
judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance is a result of ongoing review
of larger individual loans, the overall risk characteristics of the
portfolio, changes in the character or size of the portfolio, the levels of
non-performing assets, net charge-offs, geographic location and prevailing
economic conditions. The allowance for loan losses is established for
known or anticipated problem loans, as well as for loans which are not
currently known to require specific allowances. Loans are charged off to
the
38
<PAGE>
TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The adequacy of the allowance
for loan losses is highly dependent upon management's estimates of
variables affecting valuation, appraisals of collateral, evaluations of
performance and status, and the amounts and timing of future cash flows
expected to be received on impaired loans. Such estimates, appraisals,
evaluations and cash flows may be subject to frequent adjustments due to
changing economic prospects of borrowers or properties. These estimates
are reviewed periodically and adjustments, if necessary, are reported in
the provision for credit losses in the periods in which they become known.
Interest income is accrued on loan balances outstanding. Loans,
including those that are considered to be impaired, are reviewed regularly
by management and are placed on non-accrual status when the collection of
interest or principal is 90 days or more past due, unless the loan is
adequately secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed
on non-accrual status, unless collection of all principal and interest is
considered to be assured, uncollected interest accrued in prior years is
charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Interest accrued in the
current year is reversed. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans
are generally applied to principal unless the remaining loan principal
balance has been determined to be fully collectible.
Cost of loans sold is determined on a specific identification basis
and gains or losses on sales of loans are recognized at trade dates.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated or
amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
REAL ESTATE
Real estate in judgment and real estate acquired through foreclosure
are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to
sell at the date of transfer to real estate. If the fair value of an asset
minus the estimated costs to sell should decline to less than the carrying
amount of the asset, the deficiency is recognized through the allowance for
real estate losses.
The allowance for real estate losses is based on management's periodic
analysis of real estate holdings and is maintained at a level believed to
be adequate by management to provide for estimated real estate losses. In
this analysis, management considers factors including, but not limited to,
general economic and market conditions, geographic location, composition
and appraisals of the real estate holdings and property conditions. The
allowance for real estate losses is established to reduce the carrying
value of real estate to fair value less disposition costs. The adequacy of
the allowance for real estate losses is highly dependent upon management's
estimates of variables affecting valuation, appraisals of real estate and
evaluations of performance and status. Such estimates, appraisals and
evaluations may be subject to frequent adjustments due to changing economic
prospects of borrowers or properties and it is possible that ultimate
losses may vary from current estimates. These estimates are reviewed
periodically and adjustments, if necessary, are reported in the provision
for real estate losses in the periods in which they become known.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
Mortgage servicing rights are acquired by purchasing or originating
mortgage loans and selling those loans with servicing rights retained, or
by purchasing the servicing rights separately. The cost of mortgage loans
purchased or originated is allocated to mortgage servicing rights and
mortgage loans (without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their
relative fair values. The costs allocated to mortgage servicing rights are
capitalized and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of,
estimated net servicing income. TCF periodically evaluates its capitalized
mortgage servicing rights for impairment. Loan type and note rate are the
predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans used to stratify
capitalized mortgage servicing rights for purposes of measuring impairment.
Any impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance. TCF adopted
SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," on a prospective
basis effective April 1, 1995. In accordance with SFAS No. 122, prior
period financial statements have not been restated to reflect the change in
accounting method.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill resulting from acquisitions is amortized over 25 years on a
straight-line basis. For acquisitions in which the fair value of
liabilities assumed exceeds the fair value of tangible and intangible
assets acquired, goodwill is amortized by the level-yield method based upon
the outstanding balances, and over the estimated remaining lives, of the
long-term assets acquired. Deposit base intangibles are amortized over 10
years on a straight-line basis.
SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
TCF enters into sales of securities under repurchase agreements
(reverse repurchase agreements). Such agreements are treated as
financings, and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected
as liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The
securities underlying the agreements remain in the asset accounts in the
Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONS
Expenditures for advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding used to compute earnings per common share were 35,342,251,
35,685,968 and 34,526,602 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
(2) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITIONS
GREAT LAKES BANCORP, A FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK
On February 8, 1995, TCF completed its acquisition of Great Lakes, a
Michigan-based savings bank with $2.8 billion in assets and $1.6 billion in
deposits. In connection with the acquisition, TCF issued approximately 9.7
million shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding common shares
of Great Lakes. In addition, each outstanding share of Great Lakes
preferred stock was exchanged for one share of TCF preferred stock with
substantially identical terms. The consolidated financial statements of
TCF give effect to the acquisition, which has been accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests combination. Accordingly, TCF's consolidated
financial statements for periods prior to the combination have been
restated to include the accounts and the results of operations of Great
Lakes for all periods presented, except for dividends declared per share.
In connection with the acquisition, an after-tax merger-related charge of
$32.8 million was incurred during the 1995 first quarter.
The following table summarizes the major components of the
merger-related charges (in thousands):
Loss on sale of mortgage-backed securities $21,037
Loss on sale of securities available for sale 310
Loss on prepayment of FHLB advances 1,541(1)
Interest-rate exchange contract termination costs 4,423
Provision for credit losses 5,000
Merger-related expenses
Equipment charges 13,933
Severance and employee benefits 4,721
Professional fees 2,215

_________________________________
(1) Reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as an
extraordinary item, net of tax benefit of $578.
During 1995, Great Lakes sold $232.2 million of collateralized
mortgage obligations from its held-to-maturity portfolio at a pretax loss
of $21 million. Proceeds from the sale of the collateralized mortgage
obligations totaled $211.1 million. Gross losses of $21 million and gross
gains of $8,000 were recognized in 1995. Also in 1995, Great Lakes sold
$17.3 million of securities available for sale at a pretax loss of
$310,000. These merger-related asset sales were completed as part of TCF's
strategy to reduce Great Lakes' interest-rate and credit risk to levels
consistent with TCF's existing interest-rate risk position and credit risk
policy. In addition to these asset sales, Great Lakes prepaid $112.3
million of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances at a pretax loss of
$1.5 million during 1995. This amount, net of a $578,000 income tax
benefit, was recorded as an extraordinary item. Interest-rate exchange
contracts with notional principal amounts totaling $544.5 million were
terminated by Great Lakes at a pretax loss of $4.4 million. These actions
were taken in order to reduce Great Lakes' level of higher-cost wholesale
borrowings and to reduce interest-rate risk.
Great Lakes recorded $5 million in provisions for credit losses in
1995 to conform its credit loss reserve practices and methods to those of
TCF and to allow for the accelerated disposition of its remaining problem
assets.
In connection with its acquisition of Great Lakes, TCF committed to
restructure certain existing business activities of Great Lakes and to
integrate Great Lakes' data processing system into TCF's. These actions
were also designed to reduce staff by consolidating certain functions such
as data processing, investments and certain other back office operations.
Subsequent to its merger with TCF, Great Lakes recognized a pretax charge
of $21.7 million for these restructuring and merger-related expenses.
ACQUISITION
On January 16, 1997, TCF completed its purchase of BOC Financial
Corporation, an Illinois-based bank holding company with $183.1 million in
assets and $168 million in deposits. BOC Financial Corporation is the
parent company of the Bank of Chicago, s.b. which operates three branch
offices in the Chicago area. TCF accounted for the acquisition using the
purchase method of accounting.

initial and continuing investment was not adequate for full accrual profit
recognition.

TCF has significantly expanded its consumer finance operations in
recent periods and had 61 consumer finance offices in 16 states as of
December 31, 1996. TCF's consumer finance loan portfolio totaled $496.3
million at December 31, 1996, compared with $374.4 million at December 31,
1995. The underwriting criteria for loans originated by TCF's consumer
finance offices are generally less stringent than those historically
adhered to by TCF and, as a result, these loans have a higher level of
credit risk. TCF generally requires collateral for such loans consisting
primarily of residential properties, automobiles and boats.
The following table sets forth the geographic locations (based on the
location of the office originating or purchasing the loan) of TCF's
consumer finance loan portfolio:

TCF guarantees certain industrial development and housing revenue
bonds issued by municipalities to finance commercial and multi-family real
estate owned by third parties. The balance of such financial guarantees
totaled $12.2 million and $13.5 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The provision for credit losses on industrial revenue bond
financial guarantees for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
reflects a reduction in the balance of the financial guarantees.
Management has considered these guarantees in its review of the adequacy of
the industrial revenue bond reserves, which are included in accrued
expenses and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition.

The securities underlying the repurchase agreements are book entry
securities. During the period, book entry securities were delivered by
appropriate entry into the counterparties' accounts through the Federal
Reserve System. The dealers may sell, loan or otherwise dispose of such
securities to other parties in the normal course of their operations, but
have agreed to resell to TCF identical or substantially the same securities
upon the maturities of the agreements. At December 31, 1996, all of the
securities sold under repurchase agreements provided for the repurchase of
identical securities. Securities sold under repurchase agreements averaged
$498.4 million and $591.4 million during 1996 and 1995, respectively, and
the maximum amount outstanding at any month-end during 1996 and 1995 was
$647.7 million and $718.4 million, respectively.
Great Lakes prepaid $112.3 million of FHLB advances at a pretax loss
of $1.5 million during 1995. This amount, net of a $578,000 income tax
benefit, was recorded as an extraordinary item in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations.
The $7.1 million of 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2011
was convertible into 419,542 shares of TCF common stock at December 31,
1996. The number of shares and the exercise price of the debentures are
adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, including changes in the
capitalization associated with stock splits and stock dividends. The
convertible subordinated debentures provide for annual sinking fund
payments of $1.8 million commencing on March 1, 2001, intended to retire
50% of the principal amount prior to maturity. At December 31, 1996, the
convertible subordinated debentures are callable at 100% of par. The
debentures are subordinated to all present and future senior indebtedness
of TCF.
The $6.2 million of 18% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2006 are
senior to the convertible subordinated debentures and will be redeemable at
par beginning March 1, 1998.
The $37.5 million of collateralized notes mature in December 1997.
Interest paid on the collateralized notes adjusts quarterly to .375% over
the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), subject to a
maximum rate of 13.25%. At December 31, 1996, loans collateralizing the
collateralized notes had a carrying value of $72.6 million and a market
value of $70.9 million. At December 31, 1996, mortgage-backed securities
collateralizing TCF's collateralized mortgage obligations had a market
value of $3 million.
The bank line of credit, amounting to a $70 million line, is unsecured
and contains certain covenants common to such agreements with which TCF is
in compliance. The interest rate on the line of credit is based on either
the prime rate or LIBOR. TCF has the option to select the interest rate
and term for the line of credit. The line of credit expires in October
1997.
FHLB advances are collateralized by interest-bearing deposits, FHLB
stock, residential real estate loans and mortgage-backed securities with an
aggregate carrying value of $1.7 billion at December 31, 1996.

benefit allocated to additional paid-in capital for compensation expense for tax
purposes in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes
totaled $2.5 million, $2.1 million and $590,000 for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. No tax valuation allowance was required as
of December 31, 1996 or 1995 since TCF paid taxes, which are available for
carryback, in excess of its deferred tax assets.
Income tax expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the federal

(14) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
RESTRICTED RETAINED EARNINGS - TCF Minnesota and Great Lakes may not declare or
pay a dividend to TCF in excess of 100% of their annual net income plus the
amount that would reduce by one-half their surplus capital ratio at the
beginning of the calendar year without prior Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS") approval. Based on their surplus capital ratios as of January 1, 1997,
TCF Minnesota and Great Lakes currently would be permitted to make additional
capital distributions under OTS regulations of approximately $58.1 million and
$55 million, respectively. Additional limitations on dividends declared or paid
on, or repurchases of, TCF Minnesota's and Great Lakes' capital stock are tied
to the savings banks' level of compliance with their regulatory capital
requirements.
TCF is pursuing the conversion of its existing savings bank subsidiaries into
national bank subsidiaries. Such a conversion would require the approval of
applications filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"),
and would also require the approval of applications filed with the Federal
Reserve Board. A national bank must obtain the approval of the OCC if the total
of all dividends declared in any calendar year exceeds that bank's net profits
for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two
calendar years.
Retained earnings at December 31, 1996 includes approximately $109.9 million
for which no provision for federal income tax has been made. This amount
represents earnings appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal
income tax purposes and is not available for payment of cash dividends or other
distributions to shareholders. Payments or distributions of these appropriated
earnings could invoke a tax liability for TCF based on the amount of earnings
removed and current tax rates. In August 1996, federal legislation was enacted
which repealed the favorable bad debt method for savings and loan associations.
Subsequent to this repeal, TCF continues to be subject to this potential tax
liability to the extent payments or distributions of these appropriated earnings
occur.
SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN - TCF's preferred share purchase rights will become
exercisable only if a person or group acquires or announces an offer to acquire
15% or more of TCF's common stock. This triggering percentage may be reduced to
no less than 10% by TCF's Board of Directors (the "Board") under certain
circumstances. When exercisable, each right will entitle the holder to buy one
one-hundredth of a share of a new series of junior participating preferred stock
at a price of $180 per share. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain
events, holders of the rights will be entitled to purchase either TCF's common
stock or shares in an "acquiring entity" at half of the market value. The Board
is generally entitled to redeem the rights at 1 cent per right at any time
before they become exercisable. The rights will expire on June 9, 1999, if not
previously redeemed or exercised.

TREASURY STOCK - On December 19, 1995, the Board authorized the repurchase of up
to 5% of TCF common stock, or 1.8 million shares, of which 727,688 shares
remained unpurchased at December 31, 1996. TCF purchased 1,190,068 and 32,400
shares of stock during the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
On January 20, 1997, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 5% of TCF
common stock, or approximately 1.7 million shares.
PREFERRED STOCK - On July 3, 1995, TCF exercised its right of redemption on its
2.7 million shares of preferred stock at $10 per share.
STOCK WARRANTS - In connection with TCF's acquisition of Great Lakes, TCF
assumed the obligation to issue common stock upon the exercise of the
outstanding warrants to purchase Great Lakes common stock. The warrants to
purchase common stock expired on July 1, 1995.

(16) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
TCF is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business, primarily to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These financial instruments, which are issued or held by TCF for
purposes other than trading, include commitments to extend credit, standby
letters of credit, financial guarantees written, forward mortgage loan sales
commitments, and financial guarantees on certain loans sold with recourse and on
other contingent obligations. These instruments involve, to varying degrees,
elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in
the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The contract or notional
amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement TCF has in
particular classes of financial instruments.
TCF's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the
counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit, financial guarantees written and financial guarantees
on certain loans sold with recourse is represented by the contractual amount of
the commitments. TCF uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. For
Veterans Administration ("VA") loans serviced with partial recourse and forward
mortgage loan sales commitments, the contract or notional amount exceeds TCF's
exposure to credit loss. TCF controls the credit risk of forward mortgage loan
sales commitments through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring
procedures.
Unless noted otherwise, TCF does not require collateral or other security
to support financial instruments with credit risk. The contract or notional
amounts of these financial instruments are as follows:
At December 31,
------------------
(In thousands) 1996 1995
---- ----
Financial instruments whose contract amounts
represent credit risk:
Commitments to extend credit $1,014,053 $1,109,949
Standby letters of credit 24,055 26,796
Financial guarantees written 12,165 13,506
Loans sold with recourse 23,311 29,776
Financial instruments whose credit risk is
less than the notional or contract amount:
VA loans serviced with partial recourse 383,806 388,072
Forward mortgage loan sales commitments 91,132 116,068
COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT - As part of its normal business operations, and in
order to meet the ongoing credit needs of its customers, TCF has outstanding at
any time a significant number of commitments to extend credit. Commitments to
extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract. These commitments take
the form of mortgage loan applications, approved loans, consumer credit line
products and credit card limits. Commitments generally have fixed expiration
dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since
certain of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the
total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
TCF evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The
amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by TCF upon extension of
credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral
predominantly consists of residential and commercial real estate and personal
property. Included in the total commitments to extend credit at December 31,
1996 were mortgage loan commitments and loans in process aggregating $783.5
million, including commercial and residential construction and development
commitments totaling $72.5 million. Of the total mortgage loan commitments and
loans in process at December 31, 1996, $168.2 million were for fixed-rate loans.
Also included in the total commitments to extend credit were various consumer
credit line products aggregating $515.4 million, of which $59 million were
unsecured and $450.8 million were mortgage loan commitments.
STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT - Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued by TCF guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a third
party. The standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and
private borrowing arrangements including bond financing, and expire in various
years through the year 2005. The credit risk involved in issuing standby
letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in making commercial
loans to customers. The amount of collateral TCF obtains to support standby
letters of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower.
Collateral held primarily consists of commercial real estate mortgages. Since
the conditions
54
<PAGE>
TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
under which TCF is required to fund standby letters of credit may not
materialize, the cash requirements are expected to be less than the total
outstanding commitments. TCF's commitments to the beneficiaries under its
outstanding standby letters of credit at December 31, 1996 were collateralized
by $23.8 million of TCF's mortgage-backed securities.
FINANCIAL GUARANTEES WRITTEN - Financial guarantees written represent agreements
whereby, for a fee, certain of TCF's mortgage-backed securities are pledged as
collateral for Housing Revenue Bonds and Industrial Development Revenue Bonds
which were issued by municipalities to finance commercial and multi-family real
estate owned by third parties. In the event the third party borrowers default
on principal or interest payments on the bonds, TCF is required to either pay
the amount in default or acquire the then outstanding bonds. TCF may foreclose
on the underlying real estate to recover amounts in default. At December 31,
1996, the financial guarantees totaled $12.2 million and mortgage-backed
securities aggregating approximately $24.3 million were held by the trustees as
collateral for these financial guarantees. Further, in order to protect TCF's
ability to recover losses in the event of default by the third party borrowers,
TCF may also be required to pay real estate taxes and other liabilities of the
underlying collateral. The collateral agreements expire on various dates from
2004 through 2011.
LOANS SOLD WITH RECOURSE AND VA LOANS SERVICED WITH PARTIAL RECOURSE - During
the normal course of business, TCF may sell certain loans with limited recourse
provisions. In addition, TCF services VA loans on which it must cover any
principal loss in excess of the VA's guarantee if the VA elects its "no-bid"
option upon the foreclosure of a loan. A significant portion of the loans are
partially supported by government-sponsored insurance, private mortgage
insurance or the VA partial guarantee, and all of the loans are collateralized
by residential real estate.
FORWARD MORTGAGE LOAN SALES COMMITMENTS - As part of its residential mortgage
banking operation, TCF enters into forward mortgage loan sales commitments in
order to manage the market exposure on its residential loans held for sale and
its commitments to extend credit for residential loans. Because gains or losses
to be realized on the sale of residential loans held for sale are dependent on
interest rates, forward mortgage loan sales commitments are used to reduce the
impact of changes in interest rates on TCF's mortgage banking operation.
Forward mortgage loan sales commitments are contracts for the delivery of
mortgage loans or pools of loans in which TCF agrees to make delivery at a
specified future date of a specified instrument, at a specified price or yield.
Risks arise from the possible inability of the counterparties to meet the terms
of their contracts and from movements in mortgage loan values and interest
rates. Included in the total at December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $14 million and
$16 million, respectively, of standby forward mortgage loan sales commitments
for which TCF has the option to deliver the mortgage loans. Premiums paid for
standby forward mortgage loan sales commitments are amortized to gain on sale of
loans held for sale over the terms of the agreements. The fair value of the
forward mortgage loan sales commitments is not recognized in the financial
statements.
(17) FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
TCF is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments,
both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet, for which it is
practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific
point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the
financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount
that could result from offering for sale at one time TCF's entire holdings of a
particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant
portion of TCF's financial instruments, fair value estimates are subjective in
nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and
therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance-sheet
financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated
future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments. For example, TCF has established customer relationships
that contribute significant fee income annually. These customer relationships
are not considered financial instruments, and their values have not been
incorporated into the fair value estimates. Certain financial instruments and
all non-financial instruments are excluded from fair value of financial
instrument disclosure requirements. In addition, the tax effects of unrealized
gains and losses have not been considered in the estimates, nor have costs
necessary to execute a sale been considered. Accordingly, the aggregate fair
value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of TCF, or the
value TCF would realize in a negotiated sale of these instruments.

December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
(3) Positive amounts represent assets, negative amounts represent liabilities.
CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS - The carrying amount of cash and due from banks
approximates its fair value.
INVESTMENTS - The carrying amounts of short-term investments approximate their
fair values since they mature in 90 days or less and do not present
unanticipated credit concerns. The fair values of U.S. Government and other
marketable securities held to maturity are based on quoted market prices, where
available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying amount of FHLB
stock approximates its fair value.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE - The fair values of U.S. Government and other
marketable securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices,
where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are
based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The fair values of
mortgage-backed securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices.
56
<PAGE>
LOANS HELD FOR SALE - The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale
is estimated based on quoted market prices. The fair value of education loans
held for sale is estimated based on an existing forward sale agreement TCF has
with the Student Loan Marketing Association, or on sales of comparable loans.
The estimated fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights totaled
$30.9 million at December 31, 1996, compared with a carrying amount of $17.4
million. The estimated fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights is
based on estimated cash flows discounted using rates commensurate with the risks
involved. Assumptions regarding prepayments, defaults and interest rates are
determined using available market information.
LOANS - The fair values of loans are estimated for portfolios of loans with
similar characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, and include residential,
commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer, and by sub-type within
these categories. Each of these categories is further segmented into fixed- and
adjustable-rate interest terms, and by performing and non-performing status.
For certain variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and that have
experienced no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on
carrying values. For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as certain
residential and consumer loans, fair values are estimated using quoted market
prices. The fair values of other performing loans are estimated by discounting
contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates, using interest rates
currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers with similar
credit risk characteristics. The fair values of significant non-performing
loans are based on recent internal or external appraisals, or estimated cash
flows discounted using rates commensurate with the risks associated with the
estimated cash flows. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows and
discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market information
and specific borrower information.
DEPOSITS - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as checking,
passbook and statement, and money market accounts, is deemed equal to the amount
payable on demand. The fair value of certificates is estimated based on
discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates offered by TCF at December
31, 1996 and 1995 for certificates of similar remaining maturities.
The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the
lower-cost funding provided by deposits compared with the cost of wholesale
borrowings. That benefit is commonly referred to as a deposit base intangible.
BORROWINGS - The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their
fair values. The fair values of TCF's long-term borrowings are estimated based
on quoted market prices or discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates
offered at December 31, 1996 and 1995 for borrowings of similar remaining
maturities.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK - The fair values of
residential commitments to extend credit and forward mortgage loan sales
commitments associated with residential loans held for sale are based upon
quoted market prices. The fair values of TCF's remaining commitments to extend
credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are estimated
using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into
account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness
of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments and standby letters of
credit issued in conjunction with fixed-rate loan agreements, fair value also
considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the
committed rates. For financial guarantees written, fair value also considers
reserves established relating to TCF's potential obligation on the outstanding
guarantees. The carrying amounts for commitments to extend credit and forward
mortgage loan sales commitments are included in other assets in the Consolidated
Statements of Financial Condition. The carrying amounts for standby letters of
credit and financial guarantees written are included in accrued expenses and
other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
In addition to the financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk noted
above, TCF had $23.3 million and $29.8 million of loans sold with recourse and
serviced $383.8 million and $388.1 million of VA loans with partial recourse at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. TCF has not incurred, and does not
anticipate, significant losses as a result of the recourse provisions associated
with these financial instruments. As a result, the carrying amounts and related
estimated fair values of these financial instruments were not material at
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

(18) STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
The TCF Financial 1995 Incentive Stock Program (the "Program") was
adopted as a continuation and replacement of a prior program to enable TCF
to attract and retain key personnel. Under the program, no more than 5% of
the shares of TCF common stock outstanding on the date of initial
shareholder approval may be awarded. Options generally become exercisable
over a period of one to five years from the date of the grant and expire
after 10 years. All outstanding options have a fixed exercise price equal
to the market price of TCF common stock on the date of grant. Restricted
stock granted in 1994 generally vests within five years, but may vest more
rapidly or be subject to forfeiture in accordance with a vesting schedule
based on TCF's return on average common equity. Other restricted stock
grants generally vest over periods from three to eight years. Of the
outstanding restricted stock as of December 31, 1996, 318,400 shares vest
only if TCF meets certain return on equity goals. Vesting of the remaining
restricted stock is based on additional service requirements.
As disclosed in Note 1, TCF has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock option and restricted stock grants. Accordingly,
no compensation expense has been recognized for TCF's stock option grants.
Compensation expense for restricted stock under APB Opinion No. 25 is
recorded over the vesting periods, and totaled $7.9 million, $6.3 million
and $2.7 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Had compensation
expense been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for
awards under the Program consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," net income and earnings per
share would not differ materially from amounts reported under APB Opinion
No. 25. Since the pro forma disclosures of results under SFAS No. 123 are
only required to consider grants awarded in 1995 and 1996, the pro forma
effects of applying SFAS No. 123 during this initial phase-in period may
not be representative of the effects on reported results for future years.
The following table reflects TCF's restricted stock and stock option
transactions under the Program since December 31, 1993:

(19) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS
The TCF Cash Balance Pension Plan (the "Plan") is a defined benefit
qualified plan covering all "regular stated salary" employees who are at
least 21 years old and have completed a year of eligibility service with
TCF. TCF makes a monthly allocation to the participant's account based on
a percentage of the participant's compensation. The percentage is based on
the sum of the participant's age and years of employment with TCF.
Participants are fully vested after five years of vesting service. The
projected unit credit method is the actuarial cost method used to compute
the pension cost.
Net pension cost (credit) included the following components:

Great Lakes was a participant in the multi-employer Financial
Institutions Retirement Fund ("FIRF"). Great Lakes withdrew from the
FIRF effective December 31, 1995 and commenced participation in the
Plan effective January 1, 1996. The FIRF does not segregate the
assets, liabilities or costs by participating employer. As a result,
disclosures required by SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for
Pensions," cannot be made. Contributions for plan years beginning
July 1, 1988 have not been required due to plan performance. As a
result, Great Lakes did not record pension expense during the two-year
period ended December 31, 1995.
POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
In addition to providing retirement income benefits, TCF currently
provides health care benefits for eligible retired employees, and in some
cases life insurance benefits. Substantially all full-time employees may
become eligible for health care benefits if they reach retirement age and
have completed 10 years of service with the Company, with certain
exceptions. These and similar benefits for active employees are provided
through insurance companies or through self-funded programs.
TCF's postretirement benefit plan is currently unfunded. The

TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
In connection with TCF's acquisition of Great Lakes, a $329,000
curtailment loss and $168,000 in special termination benefits were
recognized in 1995 associated with benefits provided under Great Lakes'
postretirement benefit plan. These costs are included in merger-related
expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 8.0%, 7.75% and 8.0%
at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. For active
participants, an 8.8% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of
covered health care benefits was assumed for 1997. This rate is assumed
to decrease gradually to 6% for the year 2004 and remain at that level
thereafter. For retired participants, other than certain Great Lakes'
retirees, the annual rate of increase is assumed to be 4% for all future
years, which represents the Plan's annual limit on increases in TCF's
contributions for retirees. The health care cost trend rate assumption
does not have a significant effect on the amounts reported.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS
TCF's Employees Stock Ownership Plan-401(k) generally allows
participants to make contributions by salary deduction of up to 12% of
their salary on a tax-deferred basis pursuant to section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code. Through December 31, 1994, TCF matched the
contributions for tax-favored deposits of employees who are non-highly
compensated (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) at the rate of 75
cents per dollar, with a maximum employer contribution of 4.5% of the
employee's salary. TCF matched the contributions of remaining employees at
the rate of 50 cents per dollar with a maximum employer contribution of 3%
of the employee's salary. Beginning January 1, 1995, TCF matched the
contributions of all employees at the rate of 50 cents per dollar, with a
maximum employer contribution of 3% of the employee's salary. TCF, at its
discretion, may make additional contributions. Employee contributions vest
immediately while the Company's matching contributions are subject to a
graduated vesting schedule based on an employee's years of vesting service.
The Company's matching contributions are expensed when made. TCF's
contribution to the plan was $1.8 million, $1.4 million and $1.8 million in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

(22) FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION SPECIAL ASSESSMENT
Federal legislation enacted on September 30, 1996 addressed inadequate
funding of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which had
resulted in a large deposit insurance premium disparity between banks
insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and SAIF-insured thrifts. As a
result of this new legislation, a one-time special assessment was imposed
on thrift institutions, and TCF recognized a $34.8 million pretax charge
for assessments imposed on its savings bank subsidiaries. The legislation
also provides for a reduction in deposit insurance premiums in subsequent
periods and other regulatory reforms.
(23) LITIGATION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
TCF is involved in certain lawsuits in the course of its general
lending business and other operations. Management, after review with its
legal counsel, is of the opinion that the ultimate disposition of its
litigation will not have a material adverse effect on TCF's financial
condition or results of operations.

(24) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 25, 1997, TCF announced that it had formally rescinded its
stock repurchase program in connection with its pending merger with
Winthrop Resources Corporation ("Winthrop").
On February 28, 1997, TCF and Winthrop signed a definitive merger
agreement for TCF to acquire Winthrop in a tax-free stock-for-stock
exchange. Winthrop, with leased assets of $327 million, specializes in
leasing high-tech and business equipment. The merger is subject to
approval by TCF's and Winthrop's stockholders and by various regulatory
agencies, and treatment of the transaction as a pooling of interests for
accounting purposes. The merger is expected to be completed in the first
half of 1997.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
[LOGO]
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of TCF Financial Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of TCF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and
stockholders' equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TCF Financial
Corporation and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, TCF Financial
Corporation and Subsidiaries adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122,
ACCOUNTING FOR MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS, as of April 1, 1995.
