                             INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT




The Benefits Administration Committee
  of Great Lakes Bancorp
   Savings and Investment Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
participants of the Great Lakes Bancorp Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan)
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan participants for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these 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.

As discussed in note 1 to the financial statements, the Plan was terminated
effective December 31, 1995.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan participants at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in those net assets for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. Supplemental schedules I and II are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the
statements of net assets available for plan participants and the statements of
changes in net assets available for plan participants is presented for purposes
of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
participants and changes in net assets available for plan participants of each
fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                            Notes to Financial Statements

                              December 31, 1996 and 1995


(1)  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following description of the Great Lakes Bancorp Savings and Investment
       Plan (the Plan), which is a 401(k) plan, is provided for general
       information purposes only. Reference should be made to the plan
       agreement for more complete information.

     The Plan is a contributory, defined contribution plan available to
       substantially all salaried employees of Great Lakes Bancorp (the Bank).
       To be eligible, an employee must have attained the age of 21 and have at
       least one year of qualifying service. The Plan became effective April 1,
       1984, and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
       Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

     Under the terms of the agreement with the Bank, each participant's account
       is credited with the participant's voluntary contribution, the Bank's
       contribution, and a proportionate share of plan earnings. Participants
       are fully vested in their voluntary contributions plus the actual
       earnings thereon at all times. Employer contributions vest 100% upon
       death, disability, or normal retirement and during employment at 20% per
       year of service. A participant qualifies for payment of vested plan
       benefits when employment with the Bank ends for any reason or age 59.5
       is reached. If termination occurs after age 65, a participant may elect
       to delay payment of benefits until the April 1 following the attainment
       of age 70.5. Subject to predefined hardship conditions and terms, a
       participant may make voluntary withdrawals while employed. Nonvested
       employer contributions that are forfeited due to terminations are first
       allocated to reduce contributions of the employer, then to legal fees
       and trustee compensation, and then to supplementary contributions that
       are distributed to each eligible participant based on the participant's
       portion of credible compensation to total compensation paid to all
       eligible participants.

     MERGER

     On February 8, 1995, the Bank merged with TCF Financial Corporation. The
       Plan's investment in the Bank's common stock was exchanged for the
       common stock of TCF Financial Corporation.

     All employee and matching contributions to the Plan ceased on December 31,
       1995. Beginning January 1, 1996, the Bank's employees were offered
       participation in the TCF Employees Stock Ownership Plan 401(k)--(TCF
       Plan).

                                                                     (Continued)

                             SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN


     PLAN TERMINATION

     In connection with the merger of the Bank and TCF, the Plan was terminated
       on December 31, 1995. Approval by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for
       termination of the Plan was received on February 14, 1996. Participants
       with account balances on January 1, 1995 became 100% vested in the
       Company's matching contributions. On April 30, 1996, the assets in the
       Plan were liquidated for final distribution to the participants. At this
       time, the participants were given the option to: 1) rollover their
       account balance to the TCF Plan; 2) rollover their account balance to an
       individual retirement account (IRA); 3) receive a distribution of their
       account balance; or 4) a combination of two of the above options,
       provided one of the two was a rollover to the TCF Plan.

(2)  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying financial statements are presented on an accrual basis of
       accounting. Insurance contracts purchased on behalf of participants are
       not included among the assets of the Plan.

     INVESTMENTS

     Investments are stated at fair value as determined by quoted market prices.
       Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.
       Realized gains and losses from sales of common stock in the Great Lakes
       Stock Fund are reported on the average cost method. Realized gains and
       losses from sales of all other securities are reported on the first-in,
       first-out method.

(3)  CONTRIBUTIONS

     Prior to October 1, 1994, participants could elect to have contributions
       made to the Plan on their behalf of not less than 1% nor more than 12%
       of their credible annual compensation (generally inclusive of bonuses,
       commissions, overtime) or make contributions to the Plan and/or any
       other tax qualified plan of the bank of not more than $7,000 in any
       taxable year of the participant. Effective October 1, 1994, the Plan was
       amended to provide that no further elective contributions be made to the
       Plan during the 1994 plan year. It was again amended effective
       January 1, 1995 to provide that the maximum limit on elective
       contributions made during 1995 be 6%.

     The Bank's matching contributions equaled 50% of the participants' elective
       contribution to the Stock Fund up to a maximum of $3,600 or 6% of the
       participants' credible annual compensation prior to October 1, 1994. The
       matching contribution was invested in the Stock Fund. Effective
       October 1, 1994, the Plan was amended to provide that no matching
       contributions be made on any elective contributions that are distributed
       back to the participants, due to exceeding the limitations of $30,000 or
       25% of annual compensation allocated to all defined contribution plans
       of the Bank.

                             SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN


     A formula was used to fund, on a monthly basis, the estimated amount of the
       annual matching contribution by the Bank. As the components of the
       formula change, the actual contribution requirements change. This can
       result in an overcontributed or undercontributed position. A receivable
       was established for an undercontributed position, and overcontributed
       amounts were recorded as liabilities and applied against subsequent
       matching contributions.

(4)  INVESTMENTS

     The following investments represent five percent or more of the Plan's net
       assets available for benefits at December 31:


                                                                      Current

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

          First American Prime Obligation Class C               $      99,670

                       1995

          Fidelity Blue Chip Fund                                   1,022,510


(5) INCOME TAX STATUS

    The Plan has received a favorable determination from the Internal Revenue
       Service, dated July 8, 1986, that it is exempt from federal income
       taxes; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made.
       Subsequent to that date, the Plan has been amended and received a
       favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service dated June 14,
       1995 on the Plan as amended and adopted on May 18, 1995.

(6) ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS

    The Plan provides for payment of administrative costs out of plan income.
       Prior to 1995, the Bank elected to pay all administrative costs incurred
       to date and Bank personnel administered the Plan without charge to the
       Plan.

(7) TRUST FUNDS

    Prior to March 31, 1994, participants were able to elect to participate in
       any of six investments: a Fixed Income Fund (invested in the Bank's
       certificates of deposit), Stock Fund (invested in the Bank's common
       stock), Fidelity Money Market Fund, Fidelity Bond Fund, Fidelity
       Balanced Fund, and Fidelity Blue Chip Fund. Investments are made in
       various funds as designated by the participants. Effective April 1,
       1994, the Fidelity Money Market Fund was eliminated as an investment
       election, and participants in this fund were transferred to other funds
       at the participants' request.

                                                                     (Continued)

(8) RECONCILIATION TO FORM 5500

    In the accompanying financial statements, benefit amounts allocated to
       participants who have elected to withdraw from the Plan are recorded
       when paid. On Form 5500, allocated benefit amounts are removed from plan
       assets at termination from the Plan, which causes the following
       differences:

                                                                   December 31,
