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. 7 The following table summarizes the components of comprehensive income for the periods noted: Three Nine Months Ended Months Ended (In thousands) September 30, September 30, ------------------ ------------------- 1998 1997 1998 1997 ---- ---- ---- ---- Net income $ 36,581 $ 37,210 $ 116,675 $ 105,172 Other comprehensive income, net of tax: Unrealized holding gains arising during the period on securities available for sale (net of tax expense of $4,799 and $5,251 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and $4,625 and $6,408 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively) 7,330 7,615 7,063 10,402 Reclassification adjustment for (gains) losses included in net income (net of tax expense (benefit) of ($15) and $1,305 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and $889 and $2,032 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively) 28 (1,547) (1,357) (3,298) --------- --------- --------- --------- Total other comprehensive income 7,358 6,068 5,706 7,104 --------- --------- --------- --------- Comprehensive income $ 43,939 $ 43,278 $ 122,381 $ 112,276 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- (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. 8 (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. 9 TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 2. - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 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.

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. 15 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: At September 30, 1998 At December 31, 1997 ---------------------- ---------------------- Amortized Fair Amortized Fair (In thousands) Cost Value Cost Value --------- ----- --------- ----- Mortgage-backed securities: FHLMC $ 964,452 $ 980,353 $ 701,195 $ 710,799 FNMA 533,491 540,973 466,820 469,900 GNMA 35,960 36,802 43,079 43,993 Private issuer 115,301 114,670 199,738 200,325 Collateralized mortgage obligations 924 924 1,147 1,114 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $1,650,128 $1,673,722 $1,411,979 $1,426,131 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- LOANS HELD 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. 16 LOANS AND LEASES The following table sets forth information about loans and leases held in TCF's portfolio, excluding loans held for sale: At At September 30, December 31, (In thousands) 1998 1997 ------------ ----------- Residential real estate $ 3,720,692 $ 3,619,527 Unearned premiums and deferred loan fees 6,626 4,318 ----------- ----------- 3,727,318 3,623,845 ----------- ----------- Commercial real estate: Apartments 264,412 294,231 Other permanent 452,946 481,759 Construction and development 96,592 86,174 Unearned discounts and deferred loan fees (1,910) (2,248) ----------- ----------- 812,040 859,916 ----------- ----------- Total real estate 4,539,358 4,483,761 ----------- ----------- Commercial business 266,588 239,728 Deferred loan costs 535 479 ----------- ----------- 267,123 240,207 ----------- ----------- Consumer: Home equity 1,529,335 1,519,644 Automobile 370,863 444,903 Loans secured by deposits 8,169 10,112 Other secured 20,044 19,955 Unsecured 35,567 44,607 Unearned discounts and deferred loan fees (53,962) (62,522) ----------- ----------- 1,910,016 1,976,699 ----------- ----------- Lease financing: Direct financing leases 357,264 344,889 Sales-type leases 33,562 40,592 Lease residuals 28,726 28,789 Unearned income and deferred lease costs (43,410) (45,749) ----------- ----------- 376,142 368,521 ----------- ----------- $ 7,092,639 $ 7,069,188 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- 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. 18 ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES AND INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND RESERVES A summary of the activity of the allowance for loan and lease losses and industrial revenue bond reserves, and selected statistics follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 September 30, 1998 -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Industrial Industrial Allowance for Revenue Allowance for Revenue Loan and Bond Loan and Bond (Dollars in thousands) Lease Losses Reserves Total Lease Losses Reserves Total ------------- ---------- ----- -------------- ---------- ----- Balance at beginning of period $80,138 $1,301 $81,439 $82,583 $1,460 $84,043 Provision for credit losses 4,544 - 4,544 13,519 (159) 13,360 Charge-offs (7,696) - (7,696) (22,489) - (22,489) Recoveries 1,969 - 1,969 5,342 - 5,342 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------- Net charge-offs (5,727) - (5,727) (17,147) - (17,147) ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------- Balance at end of period $78,955 $1,301 $80,256 $78,955 $1,301 $80,256 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------- Ratio of annualized net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases outstanding, excluding loans held for sale .32% .32% Allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loan and lease balances, excluding loans held for sale 1.11% 1.11% Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 September 30, 1997 -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Industrial Industrial Allowance for Revenue Allowance for Revenue Loan and Bond Loan and Bond (Dollars in thousands) Lease Losses Reserves Total Lease Losses Reserves Total ------------- ---------- ----- -------------- ---------- ----- Balance at beginning of period $72,466 $1,560 $74,026 $71,865 $1,660 $73,525 Acquired balance 8,939 - 8,939 10,592 - 10,592 Provision for credit losses 6,391 (50) 6,341 12,086 (150) 11,936 Charge-offs (7,290) - (7,290) (19,236) - (19,236) Recoveries 1,533 - 1,533 6,732 - 6,732 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------- Net charge-offs (5,757) - (5,757) (12,504) - (12,504) ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------- Balance at end of period $82,039 $1,510 $83,549 $82,039 $1,510 $83,549 ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ ------- Ratio of annualized net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases outstanding, excluding loans held for sale .39% .30% Allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loan and lease balances, excluding loans held for sale 1.16% 1.16% 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: At At September 30, December 31, (Dollars in thousands) 1998 1997 ------------ ----------- Non-accrual loans and leases (1): Consumer: Bank lending $ 4,037 $ 3,495 Consumer finance lending 16,107 17,542 ---------- ---------- 20,144 21,037 Residential real estate 8,749 8,451 Commercial real estate 4,754 3,818 Commercial business 3,841 3,370 Lease financing 117 117 ---------- ---------- 37,605 36,793 Other real estate owned and other assets (2) 15,870 21,953 ---------- ---------- Total non-performing assets $ 53,475 $ 58,746 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Non-performing assets as a percentage of net loans and leases .76% .84% Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets .54% .60% (1) Included in total loans and leases in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. (2) Includes residential real estate of $11.7 million and $11.2 million, commercial real estate of $1.8 million and $6.7 million and automobiles of $2.1 million and $2.6 million at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. 20 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: At September 30, 1998 At December 31, 1997 -------------------------- --------------------------- Principal Percentage of Principal Percentage of (Dollars in thousands) Balances Portfolio Balances Portfolio -------- --------- -------- --------- Consumer: Bank lending $ 6,326 .44% $ 9,646 .66% Consumer finance lending 28,106 5.55 28,964 5.13 ------- ------- 34,432 1.77 38,610 1.91 Residential real estate 8,102 .22 10,567 .29 Commercial real estate 1,603 .20 1,173 .14 Commercial business 3,258 1.24 396 .17 Lease financing 525 .13 886 .21 ------- ------- $47,920 .67 $51,632 .72 ------- ------- ------- ------- 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 22 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. 23 TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Supplementary Information SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (Unaudited) -

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.
