                   TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


(1)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
      financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
      recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The
      results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
      indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
      prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore
      do not include all information and notes necessary for complete
      financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
      principles. The material under the heading "Management's Discussion and
      Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" is written
      with the presumption that the users of the interim financial statements
      have read or have access to the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K
      of TCF Financial Corporation ("TCF" or the "Company"), which contains
      the latest audited financial statements and notes thereto, together
      with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
      Results of Operations as of December 31, 1997 and for the year then
      ended. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
      eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made
      to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period
      presentation. For consolidated statements of cash flows purposes, cash
      and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks.

(2)   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

      Effective January 1, 1998, TCF adopted Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
      Income." The statement establishes standards for reporting and display
      of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
      general-purpose financial statements. The statement requires that all
      items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
      components of comprehensive income be disclosed in the financial
      statements.

      Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period
      from transactions and other events from non-owner sources.
      Comprehensive income is the total of net income and other comprehensive
      income, which for TCF is comprised entirely of unrealized gains and
      losses on securities available for sale.

The following table  summarizes the components of  comprehensive  income for the

(3)  DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

During the third quarter of 1998, TCF applied the consensus reached in
the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 97-14, "Accounting
for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where Amounts Earned Are Held
in a Rabbi Trust and Invested." As a result, the assets of TCF's
deferred compensation plans were consolidated with those of TCF. The
cost of TCF common stock held by the deferred compensation plans is
reported separately in a manner similar to treasury stock (that is,
changes in fair value are not recognized) with a corresponding
deferred compensation obligation reflected in additional paid-in
capital. The application of EITF 97-14 did not impact TCF's total
stockholders' equity or results of operations for 1998 or any prior
period.

(4)  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to
compute basic earnings per common share were 87,133,594 and 85,124,188
for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
and 89,157,432 and 82,398,577 for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding used to compute diluted earnings
per common share were 87,973,243 and 86,438,280 for the three months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 90,020,436 and
84,173,668 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

(5)  ACQUISITION

On January 30, 1998, TCF National Bank Illinois ("TCF Illinois")
completed its acquisition of 76 branches in Jewel-Osco stores in the
Chicago area previously operated by Bank of America. TCF Illinois
converted existing deposits by offering TCF Illinois products to Bank
of America customers and acquired the related fixed assets and 178
automated teller machines ("ATM") located in Jewel-Osco stores. TCF
accounted for the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting.

TCF reported net income of $36.6 million and $116.7 million for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively, compared with $37.2 million
and $105.2 million for the same 1997 periods. Diluted earnings per common share
were 42 cents and $1.30 for the third quarter and first nine months of 1998,
respectively, compared with 43 cents and $1.25 for the same 1997 periods. Return
on average assets was 1.54% and 1.63% for the third quarter and first nine
months of 1998, respectively, compared with 1.80% and 1.84% for the same 1997
periods. Return on average realized common equity was 16.75% and 17.13% for the
third quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively, compared with 19.37%
and 20.60% for the same 1997 periods. Diluted cash earnings per common share,
which exclude amortization and reduction of goodwill and deposit base
intangibles, were 44 cents and $1.42 for the third quarter and first nine months
of 1998, respectively, compared with 51 cents and $1.35 for the same 1997
periods. On the same basis, cash return on average assets was 1.64% and 1.78%
for the third quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively, compared with
2.13% and 1.99% for the same 1997 periods, and cash return on average tangible
equity was 22.48% and 23.41% for the third quarter and first nine months of
1998, respectively, compared with 25.94% and 24.32% for the same periods in
1997. As TCF's September 4, 1997 acquisition of Standard Financial, Inc.
("Standard") was accounted for as a purchase transaction, TCF's results for
periods prior to the acquisition have not been restated. Since Standard's
performance ratios were lower than TCF's, the Company's performance ratios for
1998 were negatively impacted by the acquisition of Standard. The Company's
performance ratios for 1998 will continue to be negatively impacted due to the
inclusion of Standard for the entire year.

TCF has significantly expanded its retail banking franchise in recent periods
and had 310 retail banking branches at September 30, 1998. Since July 1,
1995, TCF has opened 141 branches, of which 124 were supermarket branches.
The cost of this expansion resulted in a $2.6 million after-tax reduction in
earnings for the third quarter of 1998 and a $7.3 million after-tax reduction
in earnings in the first nine months of 1998. TCF anticipates opening nine
more branches in the remainder of 1998, and additional branches in subsequent
years, including 25 Jewel-Osco supermarket branches per year in subsequent
years until branches have been installed in all targeted stores. See
"Financial Condition - Forward-Looking Information."

TCF's 1997 third quarter results reflect a branch reorganization at Great
Lakes National Bank Michigan ("Great Lakes Michigan") and Great Lakes
National Bank Ohio ("Great Lakes Ohio"), including the sale of all eight
Great Lakes Ohio branches and related deposits for a net gain of $10.6
million, the accelerated amortization of Great Lakes Michigan's remaining
$8.7 million of deposit base intangibles, and the write-off of $1 million of
Great Lakes Michigan's teller equipment.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the third quarter of 1998 was $104.6 million, up 4.8%
from $99.9 million for the third quarter of 1997. The net interest margin for
the third quarter of 1998 was 4.82%, compared with 5.24% for the same 1997
period and 4.94% for the second quarter of 1998. Net interest income for the
first nine months of 1998 totaled $321.1 million, up 13.6% from $282.6
million for the same 1997 period. The net interest margin for the first nine
months of 1998 was 4.90%, compared with 5.31% for the same period in 1997.
TCF's net interest income increased primarily due to the acquisition of
Standard and the growth of lower interest-cost retail deposits. TCF's net
interest margins for 1998 were negatively impacted due to the impact of
Standard's lower net interest margin, loan prepayments and the purchase of
$671.4 million of mortgage-backed securities yielding approximately 6.5%
during the third quarter of 1998. Although these mortgage-backed securities
are expected to contribute to future earnings, they will continue to
negatively impact TCF's net interest margin. Changes in net interest income
are dependent upon the movement of interest rates, the volume


                                      10


and the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. Achieving net interest
margin growth is dependent on TCF's ability to generate higher-yielding assets
and lower-cost retail deposits. The current interest rate environment and the
resulting increase in prepayment activity has made it more difficult for TCF to
increase the balance of such higher-yielding assets. 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
experience compression in its net interest margin if the rates paid on deposits
increase, or if yields earned on loans and leases or other interest-earning
assets decline or decline faster or by a greater amount than declines in rates
paid on deposits or borrowings. See "Market Risk - Interest-Rate Risk" and
"Financial Condition Deposits."

The following rate/volume analysis details the increases (decreases) in net
interest income resulting from interest rate and volume changes during the third
quarter and first nine months of 1998 as compared to the same periods last year.
Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been
allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to
rate.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

TCF provided $4.5 million for credit losses in the third quarter of 1998,
compared with $6.3 million for the same prior-year period. In the first nine
months of 1998, TCF provided $13.4 million for credit losses, compared with
$11.9 million for the same 1997 period. At September 30, 1998, the allowance for
loan and lease losses and industrial revenue bond reserves totaled $80.3
million, compared with $84 million at year-end 1997. See "Financial Condition -
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Industrial Revenue Bond Reserves."

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 or
losses on sales of loan servicing, securities available for sale and branches,
non-interest income increased $17.3 million, or 32.2%, to $71.3 million for the
third quarter of 1998, from $53.9 million for the 1997 third quarter. For the
first nine months of 1998, non-interest income, excluding the items noted above
and a gain on the sale of a joint venture interest, totaled $192.6 million,
compared with $146.7 million for the same period in 1997. The increases were
primarily due to increased deposit, ATM and title insurance revenues, and
reflect TCF's expanded retail banking activities.

Fee and service charge revenues totaled $33.9 million and $92.3 million for the
third quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively, representing
increases of 31.4% and 25.8% from $25.8 million and $73.4 million for the same
1997 periods. These increases are primarily due to expanded retail banking
activities.

ATM network revenues totaled $13.5 million and $36.2 million for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively, representing increases of
61.6% and 65% from $8.4 million and $22 million for the same 1997 periods. These
increases reflect TCF's effort to provide banking services through its ATM
network. TCF's network of ATMs totaled 1,396 at September 30, 1998, an increase
of 240 ATMs from December 31, 1997. On January 30, 1998, TCF acquired 178 ATMs
in connection with its acquisition of 76 branches in Jewel-Osco stores. See Note
5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company anticipates
installing additional ATMs during the remainder of 1998.

Leasing revenues totaled $9.7 million and $23.9 million for the third quarter
and first nine months of 1998, respectively, representing increases of $389,000
and $298,000 from $9.3 million and $23.7 million for the same 1997 periods.
Leasing revenues can fluctuate as a result of changes in the mix of leases
classified as sales-type, direct financing or operating leases in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, leasing revenues may
be negatively impacted by a decline in economic activity and a resulting
decrease in demand for leased equipment.

Title insurance revenues totaled $5.2 million and $14.8 million for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively, representing increases of
41.9% and 52.1% from $3.7 million and $9.7 million for the same 1997 periods.
Title insurance revenues are cyclical in nature and are largely dependent on the
level of residential real estate loan originations and refinancings.

Gains on sales of loans held for sale totaled $2.7 million and $6 million for
the third quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively, representing
increases of $854,000 and $2.8 million from the amounts recognized during the
same periods in 1997. Gains or losses on sales of loans held 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.


                                      12


Results for the third quarter and first nine months of 1998 included a pretax
gain of $2.4 million on the sale of $200.4 million of third-party loan servicing
rights. Results for the first nine months of 1997 included a pretax gain of $1.6
million on the sale of $144.7 million of third-party loan servicing rights. TCF
periodically sells and purchases loan servicing rights depending on market
conditions. TCF's third-party residential loan servicing portfolio totaled $4
billion at September 30, 1998, compared with $4.4 billion at December 31, 1997.

Gains (losses) on sales of securities available for sale totaled ($43,000) and
$2.2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively,
compared with $2.9 million and $5.3 million for the comparable 1997 periods. TCF
periodically sells securities available for sale based on market conditions.

During the third quarter of 1998, TCF recognized a $226,000 gain on the sale of
one branch, compared with a $10.6 million gain on the previously mentioned sale
of all eight Ohio branches during the same 1997 period. Results for the first
nine months of 1998 include gains of $5.6 million on the sale of TCF's joint
venture interest in Burnet Home Loans and $6.5 million on the sales of seven
branches, compared with gains of $13.4 million on the sales of 10 branches for
the same 1997 period.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense totaled $111.9 million for the third quarter of 1998, up
13.8% from $98.4 million for the same 1997 period. For the first nine months of
1998, non-interest expense totaled $318.9 million, up 21% from $263.6 million
for the same 1997 period. Compensation and employee benefits expense totaled
$56.4 million and $164.4 million for the 1998 third quarter and first nine
months, respectively, compared with $45.1 million and $129.4 million for the
comparable periods in 1997. Occupancy and equipment expenses totaled $18.3
million and $53.2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1998,
respectively, compared with $14.4 million and $42.1 million for the same 1997
periods. The increased expenses in 1998 were primarily due to the costs
associated with expanded retail banking activities, including the acquisition of
Standard and the opening of 88 branches in Jewel-Osco stores.

Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles totaled $2.8 million and $8.6
million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1998, respectively,
compared with $10.6 million and $12.9 million for the same 1997 periods. The
decreases are primarily due to the previously mentioned 1997 accelerated
amortization of $8.7 million of deposit base intangibles, partially offset by
the amortization of goodwill and deposit base intangibles resulting from the
acquisition of Standard. Reductions of goodwill associated with branch sales,
which are reported as a component of gains on sales of branches, totaled $3.3
million for the first nine months of 1998.

YEAR 2000

During 1998, TCF has continued to address the "Year 2000" computer issue. The
Year 2000 issue relates to the use of two digits rather than four by computer
systems to define the applicable year and whether such systems will properly
process information when the year changes to 2000. Failure of computer systems
to properly recognize the Year 2000 could potentially result in the production
of erroneous data, miscalculations of financial information such as interest,
system failures, business disruption and other operational problems.

TCF has established a Year 2000 Task Force and has evaluated its data processing
and other systems with imbedded technologies, such as ATMs, vaults and security
systems, to determine whether they are Year 2000 compliant. Remediation of
certain software is in process, and TCF expects substantially all such work to
be complete by the end of 1998, leaving 1999 for testing. Such testing includes
testing of individual application systems


                                      13


and "integration testing," which tests the way multiple systems work
together. Many of TCF's data processing applications are supplied by
third-party vendors. TCF has also evaluated whether such vendor supplied
applications are or will be Year 2000 compliant. Additionally, federal
banking regulators are conducting special examinations of FDIC-insured banks
and savings associations to determine whether they are taking necessary steps
to prepare for the Year 2000 issue, and are closely monitoring the progress
made by these institutions in completing key steps required by their
individual Year 2000 plans.

TCF has incurred $2.7 million of internal and external costs of replacement,
renovation and testing of its critical internal computer hardware and software
and imbedded technologies through September 30, 1998, and expects such costs to
total $9.1 million over the three-year period ending December 31, 1999. Of the
$2.7 million of Year 2000 costs incurred through September 30, 1998, $700,000
have been capitalized. Approximately $1.9 million of future Year 2000 costs are
expected to be capitalized.

TCF's Year 2000 Task Force is also developing contingency plans to mitigate
potential delays or other problems. TCF's contingency plans include back-up
solutions for mission-critical applications and business continuation plans for
significant vendors and other business partners. Alternative courses of action
for dealing with non-compliant systems are difficult to identify in general
terms because they depend on the nature of the system, whether internal or
external personnel are responsible for the system, and the cost and availability
of replacement systems, among other factors. Although TCF believes its plans
address significant contingencies over which it is able to exercise some
control, there may be contingencies which cannot be readily identified or
contingencies over which it has little or no control and for which few, if any,
alternatives are available (for example, system failures that affect the Federal
Reserve System.)

The effect of the Year 2000 issue on TCF will also depend on the way the Year
2000 issue is addressed by TCF's customers, including significant borrowers,
vendors, service providers, counterparties, competitors, utilities, governmental
agencies and other entities with which TCF does business. TCF has surveyed and
continues to monitor parties with which it does business to determine how they
are addressing the Year 2000 issue and whether computer hardware and software
and other services provided to TCF will be, or are, Year 2000 compliant.
Additionally, TCF's applicable lending and investment units have implemented
procedures for identifying, managing, and underwriting Year 2000 credit risk.
TCF is also monitoring the Year 2000 preparation of entities such as the Federal
Reserve System, which provides services for processing and settling payments and
securities transactions between banks.

The Year 2000 efforts of third parties are ultimately not within TCF's control,
and their failure to remediate Year 2000 issues successfully could result in a
disruption in the services TCF provides, including deposit and loan services,
and could increase TCF's operating costs and credit risk. At the present time,
it is not possible to determine with certainty whether any such events are
likely to occur, or to quantify any potential negative impact they may have on
TCF's future results of operations and financial condition.

The foregoing discussion regarding Year 2000, including the discussion of the
timing and effectiveness of implementation and costs of TCF's Year 2000 efforts,
contains forward-looking statements which are based on management's best
estimates derived using assumptions considered reasonable. See "Financial
Condition - Forward-Looking Information." These forward-looking statements
involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ
materially from those contemplated by such statements. Factors that might cause
material differences include, but are not limited to, availability and cost of
programmers and other systems personnel, TCF's ability to locate and correct all
relevant Year 2000 computer code, including imbedded technologies, and the
ability of TCF's customers, including significant borrowers, vendors,
competitors and counterparties to effectively address the Year 2000 issue. Such
material differences


                                      14


could result in, among other things, business disruption, operational
problems, financial loss, legal liability and similar risks.

INCOME TAXES

TCF recorded income tax expense of $25.5 million and $81.5 million for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1998, or 41.1% of income before income tax
expense, respectively, compared with $25.4 million and $69 million, or 40.5% and
39.6%, respectively, for the comparable 1997 periods. The higher tax rates in
1998 reflect the impact of relatively higher non-deductible expenses, including
goodwill amortization resulting from the acquisition of Standard, and higher
state taxes due to business expansion.

MARKET RISK - 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,
and the Company's ability to manage its interest-rate risk. Although TCF manages
other risks, such as credit and liquidity risk, in the normal course of its
business, the Company considers interest-rate risk to be its most significant
market risk. TCF, like most financial institutions, has a material interest-rate
risk exposure to changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates as well
as variable index interest rates (e.g., prime).

TCF's Asset/Liability Management Committee manages TCF's interest-rate risk
based on interest rate expectations and other factors. The principal objective
of TCF's asset/liability management activities is to provide maximum levels of
net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of interest-rate risk
and liquidity risk and facilitating the funding needs of the Company.
Management's estimates and assumptions 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, competition and changes in interest rates. 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 $237.1
million, or 2% of total assets, at September 30, 1998, compared with a negative
$184.7 million, or (2)% of total assets, at December 31, 1997.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

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 accumulated other
comprehensive income, which is a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Securities available for sale increased $247.6 million from year-end 1997 to
$1.7 billion at September 30, 1998. The increase reflects purchases of $816.6
million of securities available for sale, partially offset by sales of $229.2
million and payment and prepayment activity. At September 30, 1998, TCF's
securities available-for-sale portfolio included $1.3 billion and $327.9 million
of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities, respectively. The
following table summarizes securities available for sale:

Education and residential real estate loans held for sale are carried at the
lower of cost or market. Education loans held for sale decreased $7.8 million
and residential real estate loans held for sale decreased $43.2 million from
year-end 1997, respectively, and totaled $127.5 million and $66.1 million at
September 30, 1998.

Loans and leases increased $23.5 million from year-end 1997 to $7.1 billion at
September 30, 1998, reflecting increases of $103.5 million, $26.9 million and
$7.6 million in residential real estate and commercial business loans and lease
financings, respectively, partially offset by decreases of $66.7 million and
$47.9 million in consumer and commercial real estate loans, respectively. TCF's
growth in its loan and lease portfolios has been negatively impacted by growth
in prepayment activity due to lower long-term interest rates. Unearned discounts
and deferred fees totaled $92.1 million at September 30, 1998 and $105.7 million
at December 31, 1997.

Consumer loans, comprised of bank originated and consumer finance originated
loans, decreased $66.7 million from year-end 1997 to $1.9 billion at September
30, 1998, reflecting decreases of $74 million and $9 million in automobile and
unsecured loans, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $9.7 million
in home equity loans. TCF continues its emphasis on expanding its home equity
portfolio.


                                      17


TCF had 53 consumer finance offices in 15 states as of September 30, 1998. TCF's
consumer finance loan portfolio totaled $475.3 million at September 30, 1998,
compared with $521.5 million at December 31, 1997. The Company is seeking to
improve the profitability of its consumer finance activities and is reviewing
curtailment of its remaining indirect automobile lending activities. See
"Forward-Looking Information."

The consumer finance subsidiaries primarily originate home equity loans and
purchase automobile loans. The average individual balances of consumer finance
automobile and home equity loans were $8,000 and $34,000, respectively, at
September 30, 1998. At September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, automobile
loans comprised $254.6 million, or 53.6%, and $292.6 million, or 56.1%,
respectively, of total consumer finance loans. At September 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, home equity loans comprised $211.5 million, or 44.5%, and
$218.8 million, or 42%, 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. Included in the consumer finance loans at September
30, 1998 are $201 million of sub-prime automobile loans which carry a higher
level of credit risk and higher interest rates. Loans classified as sub-prime
are generally made to borrowers who are unable to obtain credit from traditional
sources because of significant past credit problems or limited credit histories.
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 assurance that the Company's sub-prime lending
criteria are the same as those utilized by other lenders.

TCF's bank and consumer finance subsidiaries have also initiated the origination
of home equity loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%, and on a
limited basis up to 100%, that carry no private mortgage insurance. These loans
carry a higher level of credit risk and are made at higher interest rates.

Commercial real estate loans decreased $47.9 million from year-end 1997 to $812
million at September 30, 1998. Commercial business loans increased $26.9 million
in the first nine months of 1998 to $267.1 million at September 30, 1998.

At September 30, 1998, there were no commercial real estate loans with terms
that have been modified in troubled debt restructurings included in performing
loans, compared with $1.3 million at December 31, 1997.

At September 30, 1998, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to
be impaired was $8.6 million for which the related allowance for credit losses
was $2.4 million. All of the impaired loans were on non-accrual status. The
average recorded investment in impaired loans during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1998 was $8.3 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

Lease financings increased $7.6 million from year-end 1997 to $376.1 million at
September 30, 1998, reflecting a $12.4 million increase in direct financing
leases, partially offset by a decrease of $7 million in sales type leases. TCF
internally funds certain leases and consequently retains the credit risk on such
leases.

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
were 4.09% and 3.85% for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1998, respectively, compared with 2.95% for the same periods of 1997 and 3.61%
for the three months ended June 30, 1998. In addition, the net loan charge-offs
as a percentage of average loans outstanding for TCF's indirect consumer finance
portfolio were 6.06% and 5.37% for the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1998, compared with 3.94% and 4.21% for the same periods in 1997
and 4.40% for the three months ended June 30, 1998.


                                      19


Management believes the allowance for loan and lease losses and industrial
revenue bond reserves are adequate. The unallocated portion of TCF's allowance
for loan and lease losses totaled $24.4 million at September 30, 1998, compared
with $29.4 million at December 31, 1997.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

Non-performing assets (principally non-accrual loans and leases and other real
estate owned) totaled $53.5 million at September 30, 1998, down $5.3 million
from the December 31, 1997 total of $58.7 million. Approximately 71% of
non-performing assets at September 30, 1998 consist of, or are secured by, real
estate. The accrual of interest income is generally discontinued when loans and
leases become 90 days or more past due with respect to either principal or
interest unless such loans and leases are adequately secured and in the process
of collection. Non-performing assets are summarized in the following table:

TCF had accruing loans and leases 90 days or more past due totaling $66,000 at
September 30, 1998. The over 30-day delinquency rate on TCF's loans and leases
(excluding loans held for sale and non-accrual loans and leases) was .67% of
gross loans and leases outstanding at September 30, 1998, compared with .72% at
year-end 1997. TCF's delinquency rates are determined using the contractual
method. The following table sets forth information regarding TCF's over 30-day
delinquent loans and leases, excluding loans held for sale and non-accrual loans
and leases:

TCF's over 30-day delinquency rate on gross consumer loans was 1.77% at
September 30, 1998, down from 1.91% at year-end 1997. Management continues to
monitor the consumer loan portfolio, which will generally have higher
delinquencies, especially consumer finance loans. TCF's over 60-day delinquency
rate on gross consumer finance loans was 1.42% at September 30, 1998, compared
with 1.25% at December 31, 1997. TCF's over 60-day delinquency rate on gross
automobile and home equity consumer finance loans was 1.93% and .68% at
September 30, 1998, compared with 1.65% and .6%, respectively, at December 31,
1997. 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, but no assurance can be
given as to the level of future delinquencies and loan charge-offs.

In addition to the non-accrual loans and leases, there were commercial real
estate loans, commercial business loans, and lease financings with an aggregate
principal balance of $13.8 million outstanding at September 30, 1998 for which
management has concerns regarding the ability of the borrowers to meet existing
repayment terms. This amount consists of loans and leases 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
$23.6 million of such loans and leases at December 31, 1997. Although these
loans and leases 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 leases and the financial condition of these borrowers.

DEPOSITS

Deposits totaled $6.7 billion at September 30, 1998, down $173.9 million from 
December 31, 1997. The decrease reflects a $477.1 million decrease in 
higher-rate certificates, and includes the effects of the previously 
described branch sales. Lower interest-cost checking, savings and money 
market deposits totaled $3.6 billion, up $303.1 million from year-end 1997, 
and comprised 53.6% of total deposits at September 30, 1998. 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 3.08% at September 30, 
1998, from 3.42% at December 31, 1997. This decrease reflects growth in lower 
interest-cost checking,


                                      21


savings and money market deposits, decreases in rates paid on such deposits, 
and a lower proportion of higher-rate certificates at September 30, 1998 than 
at December 31, 1997.

BORROWINGS

Borrowings totaled $2.2 billion as of September 30, 1998, up $432.8 million from
year-end 1997. The increase was primarily due to increases of $258.9 million in
FHLB advances, $45.8 million in securities sold under repurchase agreements,
$114.8 million in treasury, tax and loan notes and $59.5 million in TCF's bank
line of credit, partially offset by a decrease of $39.3 million in discounted
lease rentals. The increase in FHLB advances and securities sold under
repurchase agreements reflects the previously mentioned purchase of $671.4
million in securities available for sale in the third quarter of 1998. The
weighted-average rate on borrowings decreased to 6.02% at September 30, 1998,
from 6.43% at December 31, 1997. At September 30, 1998, borrowings with a
maturity of one year or less totaled $1 billion.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stockholders' equity at September 30, 1998 was $869.4 million, or 8.8% of total
assets, down from $953.7 million, or 9.8% of total assets, at December 31, 1997.
The decrease in stockholders' equity is primarily due to the repurchase of
5,618,500 shares of TCF's common stock at a cost of $165.7 million and the
payment of $40.9 million in common stock dividends, partially offset by net
income of $116.7 million for the first nine months of 1998.

On January 19, 1998, TCF's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized the
repurchase of up to 5% of TCF's common stock, or approximately 4.6 million
shares. On June 22, 1998, the Board authorized another repurchase of up to 5% of
TCF's common stock, or approximately 4.5 million shares. TCF purchased a total
of 5,618,500 shares of common stock under these plans during the first nine
months of 1998. TCF has remaining authorization of 3.5 million shares under its
June 22, 1998 5% stock repurchase program.

During the third quarter of 1998, loans totaling $6.4 million were made by TCF
to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan trustee on a nonrecourse basis to
purchase shares of TCF common stock for the accounts of participants. The loans
are repayable over five years, bear interest of 7.41% and are secured by the
shares of TCF common stock purchased with the loan proceeds. These loans are
reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity as required by generally
accepted accounting principles.

On October 19, 1998, TCF announced a quarterly dividend of 16.25 cents per
common share, payable on November 30, 1998 to shareholders of record as of
November 6, 1998.

At September 30, 1998, TCF and its bank subsidiaries exceeded their regulatory
capital requirements and are considered "well-capitalized" under guidelines
established by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
133 requires recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measurement of those
instruments at fair value. A derivative may be designated as a hedge of an
exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, an
exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, or a foreign
currency exposure. The accounting for gains and losses associated with changes
in the fair value of a derivative and the impact on TCF's consolidated
statements will depend on its hedge designation and whether the hedge is

highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the
underlying hedged item. The statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. It is too early to predict what
effect, if any, the statement will have on TCF.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

There are a number of important factors which could cause TCF's future results
to differ materially from historical performance and which make any
forward-looking statements about TCF's financial results subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties. These include but are not limited to possible
legislative changes; adverse economic developments which may increase default
and delinquency risks in TCF's loan and lease portfolios or lead to other
adverse developments; increases in bankruptcy filings by TCF's loan and lease
customers; shifts in interest rates which may result in shrinking interest
margins, increased borrowing costs or other adverse developments; deposit
outflows; interest rates on competing investments; demand for financial services
and loan and lease products; increases in competition in the banking and
financial services industry; changes in accounting policies or guidelines, or
monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government; inflation; changes in
the quality or composition of TCF's loan, lease and investment portfolios;
adverse changes in securities markets; results of litigation or other
significant uncertainties. TCF's year 2000 compliance initiatives or other
required technological changes are subject to certain uncertainties which may
delay or increase the cost of implementation. To some extent, TCF's operations
will be dependent on the year 2000 compliance achieved by outside vendors,
borrowers and government agencies or instrumentalities such as the Federal
Reserve System, and also on the cooperation of such parties in testing the
effectiveness of compliance initiatives. TCF's 1997 and 1998 acquisitions (and
its commitment to construct additional Jewel-Osco branches in future periods)
are subject to additional uncertainties, including the possible failure to fully
realize anticipated benefits from the transactions. Significant uncertainties in
such transactions include lower than expected income or revenue or higher than
expected operating costs; greater than expected costs or difficulties related to
the integration and retention of employees of the acquired business operations;
and other unanticipated occurrences which may increase the costs related to the
transactions or decrease the expected financial benefits of the transactions.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, TCF is a party to legal proceedings generally arising out
of its general lending, deposit 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, mortgage banking
and deposit 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 National Bank Minnesota ("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 the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA"), 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. 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 National Bank Michigan ("Great Lakes Michigan")
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 Michigan's claim is based on the government's breach of
contract in connection with Great Lakes Michigan's acquisitions of certain
savings institutions prior to the enactment of FIRREA in 1989, which contracts
allowed Great Lakes Michigan 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 Michigan's complaint. Great Lakes Michigan's
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 United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit, which decision had affirmed the Court of Federal Claims' liability
determinations in three other "supervisory goodwill" cases, consolidated for
review under the title WINSTAR CORP. V. UNITED STATES, 116 S.Ct. 2432 (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 have since been tried before the Court of Federal
Claims on the issue of damages. One of these trials commenced on February 24,
1997, the submission of evidence at trial was completed in April 1998,
post-trial briefing was completed in the summer of 1998, and final arguments
were heard in September of this year. The Court of Federal Claims has not yet
determined the amount, if any, that the plaintiff may recover in damages from
the government's breach of contract. The other case settled in June 1998. In
connection with the trials in those cases, the Court of Federal Claims in
December of 1996 denied the


                                      26


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.

On December 22, 1997, the Court of Federal Claims issued a decision finding the
existence of contracts and governmental breaches of those contracts in four
other "supervisory goodwill" cases, consolidated for purposes of that decision
only under the title CALIFORNIA FEDERAL BANK V. UNITED STATES, 39 Fed Cl. 753
(1997). In reaching its decision, the Court of Federal Claims rejected a number
of "common issue" defenses that the government has raised in a number of
"supervisory goodwill" cases.

The government has indicated that it will have a number of affirmative defenses
against goodwill litigation filed against it. The TCF Minnesota and Great Lakes
Michigan actions involve a variety of different types of transactions, contracts
and contract provisions. There can be no assurance that the U.S. Supreme Court
decision in WINSTAR or the Court of Federal Claims' recent decision in
CALIFORNIA FEDERAL will mean that a similar result would be obtained in the
actions filed by TCF Minnesota and Great Lakes Michigan. There also can 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 Michigan or,
even if a determination favorable to TCF Minnesota or Great Lakes Michigan 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
Michigan's claim. Because of the complexity of the issues involved in both the
liability and damages phases of this litigation, and the usual risks associated
with litigation, the Company cannot predict the outcome of TCF Minnesota's or
Great Lakes Michigan's cases, and investors should not anticipate any recovery.
