FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial review presents management's discussion and analysis of the
consolidated financial condition and results of operations of TCF Financial
Corporation ("TCF" or the "Company"). This review should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and other financial data beginning on
page 30.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY -- TCF reported net income of $156.2 million for 1998, up
from $145.1 million for 1997 and $100.4 million for 1996. Diluted earnings per
common share was $1.76 for 1998, compared with $1.69 for 1997 and $1.20 for
1996. Return on average assets was 1.62% in 1998, compared with 1.77% in 1997
and 1.39% in 1996. Return on average realized common equity was 17.51% in 1998,
compared with 19.57% in 1997 and 16.77% in 1996. Diluted cash earnings per
common share, which excludes amortization and reduction of goodwill and deposit
base intangibles, was $1.91 for 1998, compared with $1.81 for 1997 and $1.24 for
1996. On the same basis, cash return on average assets was 1.76% for 1998,
compared with 1.91% for 1997 and 1.44% for 1996, and cash return on average
tangible equity was 23.83% for 1998, compared with 23.96% for 1997 and 18.08%
for 1996. 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 due to the
inclusion of Standard for the entire year.

     TCF significantly expanded its retail banking franchise in recent periods
and had 311 retail banking branches at December 31, 1998. In the past three
years, TCF opened 147 new branches, of which 128 were supermarket branches. This
expansion includes TCF's January 30, 1998 acquisition of 76 branches and 178
automated teller machines ("ATM") in Jewel-Osco stores in the Chicago area
previously operated by Bank of America. TCF anticipates opening approximately 40
new branches in 1999, and additional branches in subsequent years, including
approximately 25 Jewel-Osco supermarket branches per year in subsequent years
until branches have been installed in all targeted stores, including newly
constructed stores. See "Financial Condition -- Forward-Looking Information."

     Further detail on the acquisitions of Standard and the Jewel-Osco branches
is provided in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

     In December 1998, TCF restructured its consumer finance company operations,
including the discontinuation of indirect automobile lending, the consolidation
of offices and a renewed focus on home equity lending. TCF recorded a pretax
charge of $1.8 million for the reorganization, and increased the provision for
credit losses by $3.9 million from the 1997 fourth quarter, primarily in
connection with the finance company automobile loan portfolio.

     TCF's 1997 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 $1.5 million of Great Lakes Michigan's teller
equipment.

     TCF's 1996 results included a one-time special assessment of $34.8 million
from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") to recapitalize the
Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") under federal legislation enacted on
September 30, 1996. On an after-tax basis, the FDIC special assessment totaled
$21.7 million, or 26 cents per diluted common share. Net income totaled $122.1
million for 1996 before the FDIC special assessment. On the same basis, diluted
earnings per common share was $1.46, diluted cash earnings per common share was
$1.50, return on average assets was 1.70%, return on average realized common
equity was 20.40%, cash return on average assets was 1.74% and cash return on
average tangible equity was 21.87%.

NET INTEREST INCOME -- A significant component of TCF's earnings is net 
interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and 
leases, securities available for sale, investments and other interest-earning 
assets (interest income), and interest paid on deposits and borrowings 
(interest expense). This amount, when divided by average interest-earning 
assets, is referred to as the net interest margin, expressed as a percentage. 
Net interest income and net interest margin are affected by changes in 
interest rates, the volume and the mix of interest-earning assets and 
interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets.

     Net interest income was $425.7 million for the year ended December 31, 
1998, up from $393.6 million in 1997 and $354.6 million in 1996. This 
represents an increase of 8.2% in 1998, following increases of 11% in 1997 
and 7.7% in 1996. Total average interest-earning assets increased 16.2% in 
1998, compared with an increase of 12.5% in 1997 and a decrease of 5.6% in 
1996. The net interest margin for 1998 was 4.84%, compared with 5.20% in 1997 
and 5.27% in 1996. The increase in net interest income for 1998 was primarily 
due to the 1997 acquisition of Standard and the growth of lower interest-cost 
retail deposits. TCF's net interest margin for 1998 was negatively impacted 
due to the impact of Standard's lower net interest margin, loan prepayments 
and the purchase of $822.4 million of mortgage-backed securities in the 
second half of 1998 yielding approximately 6.5%. Although these 
mortgage-backed securities are expected to contribute to future earnings, 
they will continue to negatively impact TCF's net interest margin.

(1)  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 1998, TCF's net interest income increased primarily due to the
acquisition of Standard and the growth of lower interest-cost retail deposits.
Net interest income increased $32.1 million, or 8.2%, and total average
interest-earning assets increased by $1.2 billion, or 16.2%, from 1997 levels.
TCF's net interest income improved by $50.2 million due to volume changes and
decreased $18 million due to rate changes. The favorable impact of the growth in
residential real estate, consumer and commercial business loan and lease
financing volumes, decreased volumes of securities sold under repurchase
agreements and federal funds purchased and decreased rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities was partially offset by decreased yields on
securities available for sale and consumer and residential real estate loans,
and increased certificate of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advance
volumes. TCF's net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 1998 was 4.65%,
compared with 4.82% for the third quarter of 1998 and 4.93% for the fourth
quarter of 1997. As previously noted, TCF's net interest margin for 1998 was
negatively impacted by Standard's lower net interest margin, loan prepayments
and purchases of mortgage-backed securities. Achieving net interest margin
growth is dependent on TCF's ability to generate higher-yielding assets. The
current interest rate environment and resulting increase in prepayment activity
has made it more difficult for TCF to increase the balance of such
higher-yielding assets. Interest income increased $66.3 million in 1998,
reflecting an increase of $94.9 million due to volume, partially offset by a
decrease of $28.7 million due to rate changes. Interest

16 TCF



expense increased $34.1 million in 1998, reflecting an increase of $44.8 
million due to volume, partially offset by a decrease of $10.6 million due to 
a lower cost of funds. The increase in net interest income due to volume was 
primarily due to the acquisition of Standard. The decrease in net interest 
income due to rate changes reflects the impact of Standard's lower net 
interest margin, and loan prepayments, partially offset by TCF's changing 
asset/liability mix, with greater emphasis on higher-yielding consumer loans 
and lease financings.

     As a result of recent declines in variable index rates (e.g., prime), or if
such rates were to decline further, TCF may experience additional compression of
its net interest margin depending on the timing and amount of any reductions, as
it is possible that interest rates paid on retail deposits will not decline as
quickly, or to the same extent, as the decline in the yield on
interest-rate-sensitive assets such as home equity loans. In addition,
competition for checking, savings and money market deposits, an important source
of lower cost funds for TCF, has intensified among depository and other
financial institutions. TCF may also experience compression in its net interest
margin if the rates paid on deposits increase. See "Financial Condition --
Deposits" and "Financial Condition - Market Risk -- Interest-Rate Risk."

     In 1997, TCF's net interest income increased primarily due to the
acquisition of Standard, the growth of higher-yielding consumer loans,
commercial business loans, lease financings and lower interest-cost retail
deposits, and increased capital. Net interest income increased $39 million, or
11%, and total average interest-earning assets increased by $839.9 million, or
12.5%, from 1996 levels. TCF's net interest income improved by $47.2 million due
to volume changes and decreased $8.2 million due to rate changes. The favorable
impact of the growth in consumer loan, securities available for sale,
residential real estate loan and lease financing volumes was partially offset by
decreased yields on consumer and residential real estate loans, decreased
volumes in commercial real estate loans, and increased certificate of deposit
volumes. Interest income increased $69.7 million in 1997, reflecting an increase
of $75.5 million due to volume, partially offset by a decrease of $5.7 million
due to rate changes. Interest expense increased $30.7 million in 1997, primarily
due to the acquisition of Standard, reflecting increases of $28.3 million due to
volume and $2.4 million due to a higher cost of funds. The decrease in net
interest income due to rate changes reflects the acquisition of Standard,
partially offset by TCF's changing asset/liability mix.

     In 1996, TCF's net interest income and net interest margin increased
primarily due to the growth of higher-yielding consumer loans and lease
financings, the favorable impact of merger-related restructuring activities
related to TCF's 1995 acquisition of Great Lakes Bancorp, A Federal Savings
Bank, the November 30, 1995 redemption of $34.5 million of 10% subordinated
capital notes, lower average levels of non-performing assets, and increased
capital. Net interest income increased $25.5 million, or 7.7%, even though total
average interest-earning assets decreased by $400.4 million, or 5.6%, from 1995
levels. TCF's net interest income improved by $8.9 million due to volume changes
and by $16.6 million due to rate changes. The favorable impact of the lower cost
of funds and growth in consumer loan, lease financing and securities available
for sale volumes was partially offset by decreased volumes in mortgage-backed
securities and residential real estate loans. Interest income decreased $18.3
million in 1996, reflecting a decrease of $19.6 million due to volume and an
increase of $1.3 million due to rate changes. Interest expense decreased $43.8
million in 1996, reflecting decreases of $28.5 million due to volume and $15.3
million due to a lower cost of funds. The increase in net interest income due to
the favorable impact of rate changes reflects in part TCF's changing
asset/liability mix.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES -- TCF provided $23.3 million for credit losses in
1998, compared with $18 million in 1997 and $21.4 million in 1996. The 
allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $80 million at December 31, 1998, 
compared with $82.6 million at December 31, 1997, and was 237% of non-accrual 
loans and leases. See "Financial Condition -- Allowance for Loan and Lease 
Losses."

NON-INTEREST INCOME -- Non-interest income is a significant source of revenues 
for TCF and an important factor in TCF's results of operations. Providing a 
wide range of retail banking services is an integral component of TCF's 
business philosophy and a major strategy for generating additional 
non-interest income. Excluding gains on sales of securities available for 
sale, loan servicing, branches, loans and a joint venture interest, 
non-interest income increased $60.3 million, or 29.8%, during 1998 to $262.7 
million. The increase was primarily due to increased fee and service charge 
revenues, electronic funds transfer revenues and title insurance revenues, 
and reflects TCF's expanded retail banking activities. 

                                                                        TCF 17

N.M. Not meaningful.


     Fee and service charge revenues increased $26.6 million in 1998, or 26.3%,
and $10.9 million in 1997, or 12.1%, primarily as a result of expanded retail
banking activities. Included in fee and service charge revenues are fees of
$13.7 million, $14.6 million and $15.3 million received for the servicing of
loans owned by others during 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, TCF was servicing real estate loans for others with
aggregate unpaid principal balances of $3.7 billion, $4.4 billion and $4.5
billion, respectively.

     Electronic funds transfer revenues increased $19.7 million, or 64.1%, in
1998 and $9.3 million, or 43.4%, in 1997. These increases reflect TCF's efforts
to provide banking services through its ATM network. TCF expanded its network to
1,431 ATMs at December 31, 1998, an increase of 275 ATMs during 1998. As
previously noted, on January 30, 1998, TCF acquired 178 ATMs in connection with
its acquisition of 76 branches in Jewel-Osco stores. The Company anticipates
installing additional ATMs during 1999. Included in electronic funds transfer
revenues are debit card interchange fees of $11.1 million, $3.7 million and
$20,000 for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The significant increase in these
fees during 1998 reflects an increase in the distribution of debit cards, and a
significant increase in their utilization by TCF's customers. TCF initiated its
debit card program at the end of 1996. TCF had 774,000 debit cards outstanding
at December 31, 1998.

     Leasing revenues decreased $681,000 in 1998 to $31.3 million, following an
increase of $8.2 million in 1997 to $32 million. 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 increased $6.4 million in 1998 to $20.2 million,
following an increase of $238,000 in 1997 to $13.7 million. Title insurance
revenues are cyclical in nature and are largely dependent on industry levels of
residential real estate loan originations and refinancings.

     Commissions on sales of annuities increased $519,000 to $8.4 million in
1998, following a decrease of $1.2 million to $7.9 million in 1997. Commissions
on sales of mutual funds increased $1.5 million to $5.5 million in 1998,
following an increase of $626,000 in 1997. Sales of annuities and mutual funds
may fluctuate from period to period, and future sales levels will depend upon
general economic conditions and investor preferences. Sales of annuities will
also depend upon continued favorable tax treatment and may be negatively
impacted by the current interest rate environment.

     Gains on sales of loans held for sale increased $2.8 million in 1998
following a decrease of $261,000 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.

     Gains on sales of securities available for sale totaled $2.2 million in
1998, a decrease of $6.3 million from the $8.5 million recognized in 1997. Gains
on sales of third-party loan servicing rights totaled $2.4 million in 1998 on
the sale of $200.4 million of third-party loan servicing rights. Gains of $1.6
million were recognized in 1997 on the sale of $144.7 million of third-party
loan servicing rights. TCF periodically sells securities available for sale and
loan servicing rights depending on market conditions.

18 TCF




     During 1998, TCF recognized gains of $5.6 million on the sale of its joint
venture interest in Burnet Home Loans and $18.6 million on the sales of 14
branches, compared with gains of $14.2 million on the sales of 11 branches
during 1997 and gains of $2.7 million on the sales of five branches during 1996.

     During 1996, TCF recognized a $5.4 million gain on the sale of $46.8
million of credit card and other loans. The Company now provides credit card
products on behalf of a third party through a marketing agreement.


NON-INTEREST EXPENSE -- Non-interest expense increased $67.3 million, or 18.6%, 
in 1998, and $8 million, or 2.3%, in 1997, compared with the respective prior 
years. The following table presents the components of non-interest expense:

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


     Compensation and employee benefits, representing 50.7% and 49.9% of total
non-interest expense in 1998 and 1997, respectively, increased $36.9 million, or
20.5%, in 1998, and $22.9 million, or 14.6%, in 1997. The increases were
primarily due to costs associated with expanded retail banking activities,
including the acquisition of Standard and the opening of 106 new branches in
1998.

     Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $13 million in 1998 and $6.4
million in 1997. The 1998 increase reflects the costs associated with expanded
retail banking activities. The increase in 1997 reflected the addition of 25
bank branch offices.

     Advertising and promotion expenses increased $387,000 in 1998 and $2.1
million in 1997. The increases reflect the increase in direct mail and other
marketing expenses relating to the promotion of TCF's consumer lending and
deposit products.

     Federal deposit insurance premiums and assessments increased $750,000 in
1998 following a decrease of $7.3 million in 1997. The increase in 1998 reflects
higher deposit levels as a result of expanded retail banking activities. The
decrease in 1997 reflected a reduction in the rate charged to TCF by the FDIC
for federal deposit insurance premiums from 23 basis points to approximately
6.50 basis points as a result of federal legislation enacted on September 30,
1996 to recapitalize the SAIF, partially offset by higher deposit levels.

     Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles decreased $4.4 million in
1998 and increased $12.2 million in 1997. The decrease in 1998 was primarily due
to the previously mentioned 1997 accelerated amortization of $8.7 million of
deposit base intangibles, partially offset by an increase in 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 in
1998 and $514,000 in 1996.

     TCF's 1996 results included a one-time special assessment of $34.8 million
from the FDIC to recapitalize the SAIF under federal legislation enacted on
September 30, 1996. See "Financial Condition -- Legislative and Regulatory
Developments."

     Other non-interest expense increased $20.7 million, or 24.9%, in 1998 and
$6.5 million, or 8.5%, in 1997. The increase for 1998 primarily reflects costs
associated with expanded retail banking activities and increases in deposit
account losses. A summary of other expense is presented in Note 21 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. The increase for 1998 also reflects the
recognition of $1.8 million of non-recurring costs in connection with TCF's
reorganization of its consumer finance company operations. The increase for 1997
reflected the write-off of $1.5 million of teller equipment in connection with
the previously mentioned Great Lakes Michigan branch reorganization and the
recognition of $1.5 million of non-recurring merger-related costs in connection
with TCF's acquisition of Winthrop Resources Corporation. The increase in 1997
also reflected costs associated with expanded retail banking activities.

YEAR 2000 -- During 1998, TCF 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 software is substantially complete, leaving 1999 for testing.
Such testing includes testing of individual applica-

                                                                        TCF 19


tion systems 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, and are closely monitoring the progress made by 
these institutions in completing key steps required by their individual Year 
2000 plans.

     TCF has incurred $4.4 million of internal and external costs for
replacement, renovation and testing of its critical internal computer hardware
and software and imbedded technologies through December 31, 1998, and expects
such costs to total $10.1 million over the three-year period ending December 31,
1999. Of the $4.4 million of Year 2000 costs incurred through December 31, 1998,
$1.6 million 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 government
agencies and instrumentalities such as 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,
government agencies and instrumentalities 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, investment or
other risks. 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. 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, counterparties and government agencies and
instrumentalities to effectively address the Year 2000 issue. Such material
differences could result in, among other things, business disruption,
operational problems, financial loss, legal liability and similar risks. See
"Financial Condition -- Forward-Looking Information."

INCOME TAXES -- TCF recorded income tax expense of $109.1 million in 1998, 
compared with $95.8 million in 1997 and $61 million in 1996. Income tax 
expense represented 41.1% of income before income tax expense during 1998, 
compared with 39.8% and 37.8% in 1997 and 1996, respectively. The higher tax 
rates in 1998 and 1997 reflect the impact of relatively higher non-deductible 
expenses, including an increase in goodwill amortization resulting from the 
acquisition of Standard, and higher state tax rates due to business expansion.

     Further detail on income taxes is provided in Note 12 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

INVESTMENTS -- Total investments increased $148.1 million in 1998 to $277.7 
million at December 31, 1998. The increase primarily reflects increases of 
$95.3 million in interest-bearing deposits with banks, $41 million in federal 
funds sold and $11.5 million in FHLB stock. TCF had no non-investment grade 
debt securities (junk bonds) and there were no open trading account or 
investment option positions as of December 31, 1998.

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 
$251.8 million during 1998 to $1.7 billion at December 31, 1998. The increase 
reflects purchases of $957.6 million of securities available for sale, 
partially offset by sales of $229.2 million and payment and prepayment 
activity. At December 31, 1998, TCF's securities available-for-sale portfolio 
included $1.4 billion and $289.1 million of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate 
mortgage-backed securities, respectively. Securities available for sale 
totaled $1.4 billion at December 31, 1997.

LOANS HELD FOR SALE -- Residential real estate and education loans held for 
sale are carried at the lower of cost or market. Education loans held for 
sale increased $3 million and residential real estate loans held for sale 
decreased $34.5 million from year-end 1997, and totaled $138.3 million and 
$74.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 1998.

     Loans and leases increased $72 million from year-end 1997 to $7.1 billion
at December 31, 1998, reflecting increases of $141.4 million, $48.9 million and
$30.3 million in residential real estate and commercial business loans and lease
financings, respectively, offset by decreases of $100.1 million and $48.5
million in consumer and commercial real estate loans, respectively. At December
31, 1998, TCF's residential real estate loan portfolio was comprised of $1.7
billion of fixed-rate loans and $2.1 billion of adjustable-rate loans.

     Consumer loans decreased $100.1 million from year-end 1997 to $1.9 billion
at December 31, 1998, reflecting decreases of $107 million in automobile loans
and $9.3 million in unsecured loans, partially offset by an increase of $6.5
million in home equity loans. TCF continues its emphasis on expanding its home
equity portfolio.

     As previously mentioned, TCF restructured its consumer finance company
operations in December 1998, including the discontinuation of indirect
automobile lending, the consolidation of offices and a renewed focus on home
equity lending. In the states where the Company's banks operate (Minnesota,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Colorado), the finance company home equity
operations were combined with the banks, and 25 of the 30 finance company
offices were closed. Of the 23 offices in other states, 17 remain open as real
estate loan production offices of TCF National Bank Minnesota ("TCF Minnesota")
and the remainder were closed. Additionally, TCF reorganized its loan collection
operations related to the remaining consumer finance automobile loan portfolio.
Previously such collection activities were handled centrally in Pensacola,
Florida for loans up to 30-days delinquent and by the branch from which the
loans were originated for loans over 30-days delinquent. Beginning in December
1998, all collection operations for these loans were centralized in facilities
in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Pensacola, Florida. At December 31, 1998, consumer
finance automobile loans totaled $233.9 million, compared with $292.6 million at
December 31, 1997.

     Prior to the restructuring, TCF provided financing through the purchase of
automobile loans from dealers, an activity referred to as "indirect" automobile
lending. Included in consumer finance automobile loans at December 31, 1998 are
$211.4 million of sub-prime automobile loans which carry a higher level of
credit risk and higher interest rates. Loans classified as sub-prime are owed by
borrowers who historically have been 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 assurances that the Company's sub-prime lending
criteria are the same as those utilized by other lenders.

     The underwriting criteria for sub-prime loans originated by TCF generally
have been less stringent than those historically adhered to by TCF and, as a
result, these loans carry a higher level of credit risk and higher interest
rates. The indirect loan portfolio also carries an increased risk of loss in the
event of adverse economic developments such as a recession. The risks posed by
this portfolio could also be exacerbated by TCF's discontinuation of this
lending activity, which has involved the closing of its indirect lending offices
and the centralization of its loan collection operations, among other changes.
Sub-prime lending is inherently more risky than traditional lending and there
can be no assurance that all appropriate underwriting criteria have been
identified or weighted properly in the assessment of credit risk, or will afford
adequate protection against the higher risks inherent in lending to sub-prime
borrowers.

     In recent years, TCF has also initiated the origination of home equity
loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%, and up to 100%, that carry no
private mortgage insurance. These loans may carry a higher level of credit risk
than loans with a lower loan-to-value ratio.

                                                                        TCF 21

N.A. Not applicable.


     Commercial real estate loans decreased $48.5 million from year-end 1997 to
$811.4 million at December 31, 1998. Commercial business loans increased $48.9
million in 1998 to $289.1 million at December 31, 1998. TCF is seeking to expand
its commercial business lending activity and, to a lesser extent, its commercial
real estate lending activity to borrowers located in its primary midwestern
markets in an attempt to maintain the size of these lending portfolios and,
where feasible under local economic conditions, achieve some growth in these
lending categories over time. At December 31, 1998, approximately 95% of TCF's
commercial real estate loans outstanding were secured by properties located in
its primary markets. The average individual balance of commercial real estate
loans was $516,000 at December 31, 1998. Apartment loans comprised $269.8
million, or 33.2%, of total commercial real estate loans outstanding at December
31, 1998. The average individual balance of commercial business loans was
$336,000 at December 31, 1998.

     Lease financings increased $30.3 million from year-end 1997 to $398.8
million at December 31, 1998, reflecting a $32.3 million increase in direct
financing leases, partially offset by a $4.9 million decrease in sales-type
leases. At December 31, 1998, TCF internally funded 53.7% of its lease portfolio
and consequently retained the credit risk on such leases, compared with 37.6% at
December 31, 1997.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES -- Credit risk is the risk of loss from a 
customer default. TCF has in place a process to identify and manage its 
credit risks. The process includes initial credit review and approval, 
periodic monitoring to measure compliance with credit agreements and internal 
credit policies, identification of problem loans and leases and special 
procedures for collection of problem loans and leases. The risk of loss is 
difficult to quantify and is subject to fluctuations in values and general 
economic conditions and other factors. See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements for additional information concerning TCF's allowance 
for loan and lease losses.

     At December 31, 1998, the allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $80
million, compared with $82.6 million at December 31, 1997. The allocation of
TCF's allowance for loan and lease losses, including general and specific loss
allocations, is as follows:

22 TCF



    During 1998, TCF did not experience any material changes in loan
concentrations or loan terms that affected the December 31, 1998 balance of the
allowance for loan and lease losses. The allocated allowance balances for TCF's
residential, commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios
reflect the Company's continued strengthening of its credit quality and related
level of net loan charge-offs for these portfolios. The increase in the
allocated allowance for lease losses reflects the previously mentioned increase
in the percentage of leases that are internally funded. The allocated allowances
for these portfolios do not reflect any material changes in estimation methods
or assumptions.

    TCF has experienced an increase in the level of net loan charge-offs related
to its consumer finance automobile portfolio. As a result, net loan charge-offs
as a percentage of average loans outstanding for TCF's consumer portfolio
increased to 1.29% for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared with 1.00% for
1997. In addition, the net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average loans
outstanding for TCF's consumer finance automobile portfolio increased to 10.76%
and 7.16% for the three months and year ended December 31, 1998, respectively,
compared with 4.79% and 4.50% for the three months and year ended December 31,
1997. As a result, TCF adjusted its guideline reserve percentages on its
consumer finance automobile loans. This change contributed to the increase in
the December 31, 1998 balance of the allowance for loan and lease losses
allocated to the consumer loan portfolio. The unallocated portion of TCF's
allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $23.3 million at December 31, 1998,
compared with $29.4 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease in the
unallocated allowance for loan and lease losses reflects the reduction in
non-accrual loans and leases, and a decrease in the balance of consumer and
commercial real estate loans outstanding.

    Net loan and lease charge-offs were $25.9 million in 1998, compared with
$17.9 million in 1997 and $15.9 million in 1996. The allowance for loan and
lease losses as a percentage of net loan and lease charge-offs was 310% at
December 31, 1998, compared with 462% at December 31, 1997 and 453% at December
31, 1996. The decrease in TCF's allowance for loan and lease losses as a
percentage of net loan and lease charge-offs at December 31, 1998 reflects the
impact of the significant consumer finance automobile loan charge-off activity
during 1998, and a decrease in consumer finance automobile loans outstanding.

    A summary of the allowance for loan and lease losses and selected statistics
is presented in Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


NON-PERFORMING ASSETS--Non-performing assets (principally non-accrual loans 
and leases and other real estate owned) totaled $48.7 million at December 31, 
1998, down $10.1 million from the December 31, 1997 total of $58.7 million. 
The decrease in total non-performing assets reflects decreases of $3.3 
million in consumer non-accrual loans and $7 million in other real estate 
owned and other assets. Approximately 75% of non-performing assets 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's over 30-day delinquency rate on total consumer loans was 2.83% at
December 31, 1998, up from 1.91% at year-end 1997. Management continues to
monitor the consumer loan portfolio, which will generally have higher
delinquencies, especially indirect automobile loans. TCF's over 60-day
delinquency rate on consumer finance automobile loans was 3.23% at December 31,
1998, compared with 1.65% at December 31, 1997. Indirect automobile lending is
generally considered to involve a higher level of credit risk and the management
of delinquencies and liquidation of this portfolio will be a key challenge. See
"Loans and Leases."

     In addition to non-accrual loans and leases, there were commercial real
estate and commercial business loans and lease financings with an aggregate
principal balance of $23.1 million outstanding at December 31, 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.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT -- TCF manages its liquidity position to ensure that the 
funding needs of depositors and borrowers are met promptly and in a 
cost-effective manner. Asset liquidity arises from the ability to convert 
assets to cash as well as from the maturity of assets. Liability liquidity 
results from the ability of TCF to attract a diversity of funding sources to 
meet funding requirements promptly.

     Deposits are the primary source of TCF's funds for use in lending and for
other general business purposes. In addition to deposits, TCF derives funds
primarily from loan and lease repayments, proceeds from the discounting of
leases, advances from the FHLB and proceeds from reverse repurchase borrowing
agreements. Deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general
interest rates, money market conditions, competition for funds and other
factors. TCF's deposit inflows and outflows have been and will continue to be
affected by these factors. See "Forward-Looking Information." Borrowings may be
used to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds, such as deposit
inflows at less than projected levels, net deposit outflows or to support
expanded activities. Historically, TCF has borrowed primarily from the FHLB,
from institutional sources under reverse repurchase agreements and, to a lesser
extent, from other sources. See "Borrowings."

24 TCF



     Potential sources of liquidity for TCF Financial Corporation (parent
company only) include cash dividends from TCF's wholly owned bank subsidiaries,
issuance of equity securities, borrowings under the Company's $135 million bank
line of credit, and interest income. TCF's subsidiary banks' ability to pay
dividends or make other capital distributions to TCF is restricted by regulation
and may require regulatory approval. Undistributed earnings and profits at
December 31, 1998 includes approximately $134.4 million for which no provision
for federal income tax has been made. This amount represents earnings
appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes
and is generally not available for payment of cash dividends or other
distributions to shareholders. Payments or distributions of these appropriated
earnings could invoke a tax liability for TCF based on the amount of earnings
removed and current tax rates.

DEPOSITS -- Deposits totaled $6.7 billion at December 31, 1998, down $192.2 
million from December 31, 1997. The decrease reflects the previously 
mentioned branch sales with deposits totaling $234 million. Lower 
interest-cost checking, savings and money market deposits totaled $3.8 
billion, up $454.9 million from year-end 1997, and comprised 55.9% of total 
deposits at December 31, 1998. Checking, savings and money market deposits 
are an important source of lower cost funds and fee income for TCF. Higher 
interest-cost certificates of deposit decreased $647.1 million from December 
31, 1997. The Company's weighted-average rate for deposits, including 
non-interest bearing deposits, decreased to 2.73% at December 31, 1998, from 
3.42% at December 31, 1997. This decrease reflects growth in lower 
interest-cost checking, savings and money market deposits, decreases in rates 
paid on such deposits and a lower proportion of higher-rate certificates at 
December 31, 1998 than at December 31, 1997.

BORROWINGS -- Borrowings are used primarily to fund the purchases of 
investments and securities available for sale. These borrowings totaled $2.5 
billion at December 31, 1998, up $733.9 million from year-end 1997. The 
increase was primarily due to increases of $464.6 million in FHLB advances, 
$255 million in securities sold under repurchase agreements and $74 million 
in TCF's bank line of credit, partially offset by a decrease of $44.9 million 
in discounted lease rentals. The increase in FHLB advances and securities 
sold under repurchase agreements reflects the previously mentioned purchases 
of securities available for sale in 1998. The weighted-average rate on 
borrowings decreased to 6.00% at December 31, 1998, from 6.43% at December 
31, 1997.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY -- Stockholders' equity at December 31, 1998 was $845.5 
million, or 8.3% 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 7,549,300 shares of TCF's common stock at 
a cost of $210.9 million and the payment of $55 million in common stock 
dividends, partially offset by net income of $156.2 million for the year 
ended December 31, 1998.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS -- In June 1998, the Financial Accounting 
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 
("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.

     In October 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for
Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans
Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise -- an amendment of SFAS No. 65."
The statement is effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December
15, 1998. The adoption of SFAS No. 134 will not affect TCF's results of
operations or financial condition.

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; adverse credit losses 
or other unfavorable developments in the liquidation or other disposition of 
TCF's consumer finance automobile loan portfolio; 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)

                                                                        TCF 25


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.


LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS -- Federal and state legislation 
imposes numerous legal and regulatory requirements on financial institutions. 
Future legislative or regulatory change, or changes in enforcement practices 
or court rulings, may have a dramatic and potentially adverse impact on TCF 
and its bank and other subsidiaries.

     Federal legislation enacted on September 30, 1996 addressed inadequate
funding of the SAIF, which had resulted in a large deposit insurance premium
disparity between banks insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and
SAIF-insured thrifts. As a result of this legislation, a one-time special
assessment was imposed on thrift institutions, and TCF recognized a $34.8
million pretax charge for assessments imposed on its bank subsidiaries during
the third quarter of 1996. The legislation also provided for a reduction in
deposit insurance premiums in subsequent periods and other regulatory reforms.

     Federal legislation was enacted in 1996 that repealed the reserve method of
accounting for thrift bad debt reserves. This legislation eliminated the
recapture of a thrift institution's bad debt reserve under certain
circumstances, including the institution's conversion to a bank or as a result
of similar charter changes.

     After passage of both the BIF/SAIF legislation and the repeal of the
reserve method of accounting for bad debts, TCF completed the conversion of its
savings bank subsidiaries to national banks and TCF became a national bank
holding company on April 7, 1997. In connection with the national bank
conversions, TCF chartered two new national bank subsidiaries, Great Lakes Ohio
and TCF National Bank Colorado ("TCF Colorado"). As previously mentioned, TCF
sold all eight branches and related deposits of Great Lakes Ohio in 1997. TCF
now operates five national bank subsidiaries: TCF Minnesota, TCF National Bank
Illinois, TCF National Bank Wisconsin, TCF Colorado and Great Lakes Michigan.


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). Since TCF does not hold a trading portfolio, 
the Company is not exposed to significant market risk from trading activities.

     Like most financial institutions, TCF's interest income and cost of funds
are significantly affected by general economic conditions and by policies of
regulatory authorities. The mismatch between maturities and interest-rate
sensitivities of assets and liabilities results in interest-rate risk. Although
the measure is subject to a number of assumptions and is only one of a number of
measurements, management believes the interest-rate gap (difference between
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities repricing within a
given period) is an important indication of TCF's exposure to interest-rate risk
and the related volatility of net interest income in a changing interest rate
environment. In addition to the interest-rate gap analysis, management also
utilizes a simulation model to measure and manage TCF's interest-rate risk.

     For an institution with a negative interest-rate gap for a given period,
the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities maturing or otherwise repricing
within such period exceeds the amount of interest-earning assets repricing
within the same period. In a rising interest-rate environment, institutions with
negative interest-rate gaps will generally experience more immediate increases
in the cost of their liabilities than in the yield on their assets. Conversely,
the yield on assets for institutions with negative interest-rate gaps will
generally decrease more slowly than the cost of their funds in a falling
interest-rate environment.

     TCF's Asset/Liability Management Committee manages TCF's interest-rate risk
based on interest rate expectations and other factors. The 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. The
amounts in the maturity/rate sensitivity table below represent management's
estimates and assumptions. Also, the amounts could be significantly affected by
external factors such as prepayment rates other than those assumed, early
withdrawals of deposits, changes in the correlation of various interest-bearing
instruments, competition and a general rise or decline in interest rates.
Decisions by management to purchase or sell assets, or retire debt could change
the maturity/repricing and spread relationships. In addition, TCF's
interest-rate risk will increase during periods of rising interest rates due to
resulting slower prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and the
increased likelihood that the FHLB will exercise its option to call certain of
TCF's longer-term FHLB advances. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information on FHLB advances. TCF's one-year
interest-rate gap was a negative $263.9 million, or (3)% of total assets, at
December 31, 1998, compared with a negative $184.7 million, or (2)% of total
assets, at December 31, 1997.

     The following tables provide information about TCF's financial instruments
and derivative financial instruments, all of which are held for purposes other
than trading and are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For loans held for
sale, securities available for sale, loans, and liabilities with contractual
maturities, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average
interest rates by contractual maturities as modified by the Company's historical
experience of the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the prepayment of the
assets. For deposits that have no contractual maturity, the table presents
principal cash flows and, as applicable, related weighted-average interest rates
based on the Company's historical experience, management's judgment, and
statistical analysis, with respect to customer account retention. For forward
mortgage loan sales commitments, the table presents notional amounts and, as
applicable, weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturity date.
Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged
under the commitments. For commitments to extend credit, the balance represents
the notional amount of the off-balance-sheet item and the average interest rate
represents the weighted-average interest rate of the underlying loans. This
table does not include the effect of repricings, which is an important
consideration in management's interest-rate risk analysis. The expected
principal/notional maturity amounts at December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997
are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION -- The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of TCF Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. TCF
Financial Corporation ("TCF" or the "Company") is a national bank holding
company engaged primarily in community banking and lease financing through its
wholly owned subsidiaries, TCF National Bank Minnesota ("TCF Minnesota"), TCF
National Bank Illinois ("TCF Illinois"), TCF National Bank Wisconsin ("TCF
Wisconsin"), TCF National Bank Colorado ("TCF Colorado"), and Great Lakes
National Bank Michigan ("Great Lakes Michigan"). The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior
years' financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. For
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows purposes, cash and cash equivalents
include cash and due from banks.


COMPREHENSIVE INCOME -- Effective January 1, 1998, TCF adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. 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. As permitted by SFAS No. 130, TCF
has elected to disclose the components of comprehensive income in the
Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity.

     In accordance with SFAS No. 130, reclassification adjustments have been
determined for all components of other comprehensive income reported in the
Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity. 

     The following table summarizes the components of other comprehensive 
income:



                                                                                    YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,

   $206, $6,994 and $(5,689),
   respectively) .........................................................   $   236         $11,465       $(9,273)

     net of tax ..........................................................   $  (965)        $ 6,180       $(9,326)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SEGMENT INFORMATION -- Effective January 1, 1998, TCF adopted SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No.
131 superseded SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
Enterprise." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for public business enterprises
to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements,
and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
segments in interim financial reports. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not
impact TCF's results of operations or financial condition, but did affect the
disclosure of segment information. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, prior period
financial information has been restated. See Note 20 for TCF's disclosures in
accordance with SFAS No. 131.


EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS -- Effective January 1, 1998, TCF adopted SFAS No. 132,
"Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." SFAS
No. 132 revises employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement
benefit plans. The adoption of SFAS No. 132 did not impact TCF's results of
operations or financial condition. In accordance with SFAS No. 132, prior period
financial information has been restated. See Note 18 for TCF's disclosures in
accordance with SFAS No. 132.


INVESTMENTS -- Investments are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of
premiums or accretion of discounts using methods which approximate a level
yield.


SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE -- Securities available for sale are carried at
fair value with the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of deferred income
taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, which is a separate
component of stockholders' equity. Cost of securities sold is determined on a
specific identification basis and gains or losses on sales of securities
available for sale are recognized at trade dates.


LOANS HELD FOR SALE -- Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or
market determined on an aggregate basis, including related forward mortgage loan
sales commitments. Cost of loans sold is determined on a specific identification
basis and gains or losses on sales of loans held for sale are recognized at
settlement dates. Net fees and costs associated with originating and acquiring
loans held for sale are deferred and are included in the basis for determining
the gain or loss on sales of loans held for sale.

                                                                       TCF 35



LOANS AND LEASES -- Net fees and costs associated with originating and acquiring
loans and leases are deferred and amortized over the lives of the assets. Net
fees and costs associated with loan commitments are deferred in other assets or
other liabilities until the loan is advanced. Discounts and premiums on loans
purchased, net deferred fees and costs, unearned discounts and finance charges,
and unearned lease income are amortized using methods which approximate a level
yield over the estimated remaining lives of the loans and leases.

     Leases that transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks of
equipment ownership to the lessee are classified as direct financing or
sales-type leases and are included in loans and leases. Direct financing and
sales-type leases are carried at the combined present value of the future
minimum lease payments and the lease residual value, which represents the
estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the termination of the lease
based on management's experience and judgment. Lease residual values are
reviewed on an ongoing basis and any downward revisions are recorded in the
periods in which they become known. Interest income on direct financing and
sales-type leases is recognized using methods which approximate a level yield
over the term of the leases. Sales-type leases generate dealer profit which is
recognized at lease inception by recording lease revenue net of the lease cost.
Revenue consists of the present value of the future minimum lease payments
discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Cost consists of the leased
equipment's book value, less the present value of its residual.

     Impaired loans include all non-accrual and restructured commercial real
estate and commercial business loans. Consumer and residential real estate loans
and lease financings are excluded from the definition of an impaired loan. Loan
impairment is measured as the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's initial effective interest rate, the fair value of the
collateral of an impaired collateral-dependent loan or an observable market
price.

     The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level believed
to be adequate by management to provide for estimated loan and lease losses.
Management's judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance, including the
allocated and unallocated elements, is a result of ongoing review of larger
individual loans and leases, the overall risk characteristics of the portfolios,
changes in the character or size of the portfolios, the level of non-performing
assets, historical net charge-off amounts, geographic location and prevailing
economic conditions. Residential loans, consumer loans, and smaller-balance
commercial loans and lease financings are segregated by lease type and sub-type,
and are evaluated on a group basis. The allowance for loan and lease losses is
established for known or anticipated problem loans and leases, as well as for
loans and leases which are not currently known to require specific allowances.
Loans and leases are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be
uncollectible. The adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses is highly
dependent upon management's estimates of variables affecting valuation,
appraisals of collateral, evaluations of performance and status, and the amounts
and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. Such
estimates, appraisals, evaluations and cash flows may be subject to frequent
adjustments due to changing economic prospects of borrowers, lessees or
properties. These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments, if
necessary, are recorded in the provision for credit losses in the periods in
which they become known.

     Interest income is accrued on loan and lease balances outstanding. Loans
and leases, including loans that are considered to be impaired, are reviewed
regularly by management and are placed on non-accrual status when the collection
of interest or principal is 90 days or more past due, unless the loan or lease
is adequately secured and in the process of collection. When a loan or lease is
placed on non-accrual status, unless collection of all principal and interest is
considered to be assured, uncollected interest accrued in prior years is charged
off against the allowance for loan and lease losses. Interest accrued in the
current year is reversed. Interest payments received on non-accrual loans and
leases are generally applied to principal unless the remaining principal balance
has been determined to be fully collectible.

     Cost of loans sold is determined on a specific identification basis and
gains or losses on sales of loans are recognized at trade dates.


PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT -- Premises and equipment are carried at cost and are
depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful
lives.


OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED -- Other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of
cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell at the date of transfer to
other real estate owned. If the fair value of an asset minus the estimated costs
to sell should decline to less than the carrying amount of the asset, the
deficiency is recognized in the period in which it becomes known and is included
in other non-interest expense.


MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS -- Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized and
amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing
income. TCF periodically evaluates its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for
impairment. Loan type and note rate are the predominant risk characteristics of
the underlying loans used to stratify capitalized mortgage servicing rights for
purposes of measuring impairment. Any impairment is recognized through a
valuation allowance.


INTANGIBLE ASSETS -- Goodwill resulting from acquisitions is amortized over 25
years on a straight-line basis. Deposit base intangibles are amortized over 10
years on an accelerated basis. The Company periodically reviews the
recoverability of the carrying values of these assets.


DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- TCF utilizes derivative financial 
instruments in order to meet the ongoing credit needs of its customers and in 
order to manage the market exposure of its residential loans held for sale 
portfolio and its commitments to extend credit for residential loans. 
Derivative financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and 
forward mortgage loan sales commitments. See Note 15 for additional 
information concerning these derivative financial instruments.

36 TCF



ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONS -- Expenditures for advertising costs are expensed as
incurred.


INCOME TAXES -- Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability
method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE -- The following table reconciles the weighted average
shares outstanding and the income applicable to common shareholders used for
basic and diluted earnings per share:

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ACQUISITIONS


JEWEL-OSCO BRANCHES -- On January 30, 1998, 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.


STANDARD FINANCIAL, INC. -- On September 4, 1997, TCF acquired all of the
outstanding common stock of Standard Financial, Inc. ("Standard"), a
community-oriented thrift institution with $2.6 billion in assets, $1.9 billion
in deposits, and 14 full-service offices in Chicago, Illinois, for a purchase
price of $423.7 million, which consisted of $237.9 million in cash and 7,700,000
shares of TCF common stock. The acquisition has been accounted for by the
purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of
Standard have been included in TCF's consolidated financial statements since
September 4, 1997.


WINTHROP RESOURCES CORPORATION -- On June 24, 1997, TCF completed its 
acquisition of Winthrop Resources Corporation ("Winthrop"), a leasing company 
with $363 million in assets. Winthrop leases computers, telecommunications 
equipment, point-of-sale systems and other business-essential equipment to 
companies nationwide. In connection with the acquisition, TCF issued 
approximately 13.4 million shares of its common stock for all of the 
outstanding common shares of Winthrop.

     The consolidated financial statements of TCF give effect to the
acquisition, which has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests combination.
Accordingly, TCF's consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the
combination have been restated to include the accounts and the results of
operations of Winthrop for all periods presented, except for dividends declared
per share. There were no material intercompany transactions prior to the
acquisition and no material differences in the accounting and reporting policies
of TCF and Winthrop.

BOC FINANCIAL CORPORATION -- On January 16, 1997, TCF completed its purchase of
BOC Financial Corporation, an Illinois-based bank holding company with $183.1
million in assets and $168 million in deposits. TCF accounted for the
acquisition using the purchase method of accounting.


3.     CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS

At December 31, 1998, TCF was required by Federal Reserve Board regulations to
maintain reserve balances of $159 million in cash on hand or at various Federal
Reserve Banks.

                                                                        TCF 37

    The securities underlying the repurchase agreements are book entry 
securities. During the period, book entry securities were delivered by 
appropriate entry into the counterparties' accounts through the Federal 
Reserve System. The dealers may sell, loan or otherwise dispose of such 
securities to other parties in the normal course of their operations, but 
have agreed to resell to TCF identical or substantially the same securities 
upon the maturities of the agreements. At December 31, 1998, all of the 
securities sold under repurchase agreements provided for the repurchase of 
identical securities.

    At December 31, 1998, securities sold under repurchase agreements were 
collateralized by mortgage-backed securities and had the following maturities:

    Included in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances are $705 million of 
callable advances maturing in 2001 which are callable at par beginning in 
1999 on their first anniversary date and quarterly thereafter until maturity. 
If called, the FHLB will provide replacement funding at the then-prevailing 
market rate of interest for the remaining term-to-maturity of the advances, 
subject to standard terms and conditions.

    TCF has a $135 million bank line of credit which is unsecured and 
contains certain covenants common to such agreements with which TCF is in 
compliance. The interest rate on the line of credit is based on either the 
prime rate or LIBOR. TCF has the option to select the interest rate index and 
term for advances on the line of credit. The line of credit expires in 
October 1999.

    During 1998, TCF redeemed the $6.2 million of senior subordinated 
debentures at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. 
The $28.8 million of senior subordinated debentures mature in July 2003. 
These debentures will be redeemable at par plus accrued interest to the date 
of redemption beginning July 1, 2001.

    During 1997, TCF redeemed $7.1 million of convertible subordinated 
debentures (the "Debentures") at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to the 
date of redemption. The Debentures were convertible into TCF common stock at 
a conversion price of $8.52 per common share. TCF issued approximately 
839,000 shares of common stock in connection with the conversion of the 
Debentures.

    At December 31, 1998, mortgage-backed securities collateralizing TCF's 
collateralized mortgage obligations had a market value of $1.7 million.

    FHLB advances are collateralized by residential real estate loans, FHLB 
stock and mortgage-backed securities with an aggregate carrying value of $2.8 
billion at December 31, 1998.

    Total income tax expense of $109.1 million, $95.8 million and $61 million 
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, did not 
include tax benefits specifically allocated to stockholders' equity. The tax 
benefit allocated to additional paid-in capital for compensation expense for 
tax purposes in excess of amounts recognized for financial reporting purposes 
totaled $2.4 million, $2.3 million and $2.5 million for the years ended 
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

    At December 31, 1998, TCF has net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards 
for federal income tax purposes of $3.7 million, which are available to 
offset future federal taxable income through 2008. The realization of the 
NOLs is subject to certain Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") limitations. In 
addition, TCF has certain alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credit 
carryforwards of approximately $1 million, which are available to reduce 
future federal income taxes over an indefinite period. The realization of the 
AMT credits is subject to certain IRC limitations. TCF has, in its judgment, 
made certain reasonable assumptions relating to the realizability of the 
deferred tax assets. Based upon these assumptions, the Company has determined 
that no valuation allowance is required with respect to the deferred tax 
assets.

    Income tax expense differs from the amounts computed by applying the 
federal income tax rate of 35% to income before income tax expense as a 
result of the following:

13.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY


RESTRICTED RETAINED EARNINGS -- In general, TCF's subsidiary banks may not 
declare or pay a dividend to TCF in excess of 100% of their net profits for 
that year combined with their retained net profits for the preceding two 
calendar years without prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of the 
Currency ("OCC"). Additional limitations on dividends declared or paid on, or 
repurchases of, TCF's subsidiary banks' capital stock are tied to the 
national banks' regulatory capital levels.

    Undistributed earnings and profits at December 31, 1998 includes 
approximately $134.4 million for which no provision for federal income tax 
has been made. This amount represents earnings appropriated to bad debt 
reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes and is generally not 
available for payment of cash dividends or other distributions to 
shareholders. Payments or distributions of these appropriated earnings could 
invoke a tax liability for TCF based on the amount of earnings removed and 
current tax rates.


SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN -- TCF's preferred share purchase rights will become 
exercisable only if a person or group acquires or announces an offer to 
acquire 15% or more of TCF's common stock. This triggering percentage may be 
reduced to no less than 10% by TCF's Board of Directors (the "Board") under 
certain circumstances. When exercisable, each right will entitle the holder 
to buy one one-hundredth of a share of a new series of junior participating 
preferred stock at a price of $90 per share. In addition, upon the occurrence 
of certain events, holders of the rights will be entitled to purchase either 
TCF's common stock or shares in an "acquiring entity" at half of the market 
value. The Board is generally entitled to redeem the rights at 1 cent per 
right at any time before they become exercisable. The rights will expire on 
June 9, 1999, if not previously redeemed or exercised.


SHARES HELD IN TRUST FOR 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 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.


LOAN TO EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN -- During 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, totaling $6.1 million at December 31, 
1998, are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity as required by 
generally accepted accounting principles.

46 TCF





STOCK OFFERING -- On June 3, 1997, TCF completed a public offering of 
1,400,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $21.6875 per share. The 
purpose of the offering was to meet one of the criteria for TCF's merger with 
Winthrop to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The net proceeds of 
$29.3 million were used as a portion of the cash consideration paid in 
connection with the acquisition of Standard.


TREASURY STOCK -- On January 20, 1997, the Board authorized the repurchase of 
up to 5% of TCF common stock, or 3.5 million shares. On February 25, 1997, 
the Board formally rescinded TCF's common stock repurchase program in 
connection with the Company's merger with Winthrop. On January 19, 1998, the 
Board authorized the repurchase of up to 5% of TCF common stock, or 4.6 
million shares. On June 22, 1998, the Board authorized the repurchase of up 
to an additional 5% of TCF common stock, or 4.5 million shares. On December 
15, 1998, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 5% of 
TCF common stock, or 4.3 million shares. TCF purchased 7,549,300, 1,295,800 
and 2,380,136 shares of common stock during the years ended December 31, 
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At December 31, 1998, TCF has remaining 
authorization of 1.6 million shares under its June 22, 1998 5% stock 
repurchase program, which the Company expects to repurchase before initiating 
the December 15, 1998 program.


14.     REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

TCF is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the 
federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can 
initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by 
the federal banking agencies, that, if undertaken, could have a direct 
material effect on TCF's financial statements. Under capital adequacy 
guidelines and the regulatory framework for "prompt corrective action," TCF 
must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of 
the Company's assets, stockholders' equity, and certain off-balance-sheet 
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.

    The following table sets forth TCF's tier 1 leverage, tier 1 risk-based 
and total risk-based capital levels, and applicable percentages of adjusted 
assets, together with the excess over the minimum capital requirements:

    At December 31, 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.


15.     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

TCF is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, 
primarily to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial 
instruments, which are issued or held by TCF for purposes other than trading, 
involve elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount 
recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

    TCF's exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the 
counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and 
standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of the 
commitments. TCF uses the same credit policies in making these commitments as 
it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. TCF evaluates each customers 
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained 
is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. For Veterans 
Administration ("VA") loans serviced with partial recourse and forward 
mortgage loan sales commitments, the contract or notional amount exceeds 
TCF's exposure to credit loss. TCF controls the credit risk of forward 
mortgage loan sales commitments through credit approvals, credit limits and 
monitoring procedures.

                                                                        TCF 47



COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT -- Commitments to extend credit are agreements to 
lend to a customer provided there is no violation of any condition in the 
contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other 
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. These commitments 
totaled $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion at December 31, 1998 and 1997, 
respectively. Since certain of the commitments are expected to expire without 
being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent 
future cash requirements. Collateral predominantly consists of residential 
and commercial real estate and personal property. Included in the total 
commitments to extend credit at December 31, 1998 were fixed-rate mortgage 
loan commitments and loans in process aggregating $153.3 million.


STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT -- Standby letters of credit are conditional 
commitments issued by TCF guaranteeing the performance of a customer to a 
third party. The standby letters of credit expire in various years through 
the year 2005 and totaled $45.3 million and $30.7 million at December 31, 
1998 and 1997, respectively. Collateral held primarily consists of commercial 
real estate mortgages. Since the conditions under which TCF is required to 
fund standby letters of credit may not materialize, the cash requirements are 
expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments. TCF's commitments 
to the beneficiaries under its outstanding standby letters of credit at 
December 31, 1998 were collateralized by $30.3 million of TCF's 
mortgage-backed securities.


VA LOANS SERVICED WITH PARTIAL RECOURSE -- TCF services VA loans on which it 
must cover any principal loss in excess of the VA's guarantee if the VA 
elects its "no-bid" option upon the foreclosure of a loan. The serviced loans 
are collateralized by residential real estate and totaled $273.2 million and 
$335.9 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.


FORWARD MORTGAGE LOAN SALES COMMITMENTS -- TCF enters into forward mortgage 
loan sales commitments in order to manage the market exposure on its 
residential loans held for sale and its commitments to extend credit for 
residential loans. Forward mortgage loan sales commitments are contracts for 
the delivery of mortgage loans or pools of loans in which TCF agrees to make 
delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument, at a specified 
price or yield. Risks arise from the possible inability of the counterparties 
to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in mortgage loan 
values and interest rates. Forward mortgage loan sales commitments totaled 
$106.7 million and $81.6 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.


16. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

TCF is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial 
instruments, both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet, for 
which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value estimates are made 
at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and 
information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are 
subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant 
judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in 
assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

    The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, investments, accrued 
interest payable and receivable, and due from brokers approximate their fair 
values due to the short period of time until their expected realization. 
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, which is based on 
quoted market prices. Certain financial instruments, including lease 
financings and discounted lease rentals, and all non-financial instruments 
are excluded from fair value of financial instrument disclosure requirements.

    The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in 
estimating its fair value disclosures for its remaining financial 
instruments, all of which are issued or held for purposes other than trading.


LOANS HELD FOR SALE -- The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated 
based on quoted market prices.

    The estimated fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights totaled 
$27.8 million at December 31, 1998, compared with a carrying amount of $21.6 
million. The estimated fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights is 
based on estimated cash flows discounted using rates commensurate with the 
risks involved. Assumptions regarding prepayments, defaults and interest 
rates are determined using available market information.


LOANS -- The fair values of residential and consumer loans are estimated using 
quoted market prices. For certain variable-rate loans that reprice frequently 
and that have experienced no significant change in credit risk, fair values 
are based on carrying values. The fair values of other loans are estimated by 
discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates, using 
interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to 
borrowers with similar credit risk characteristics.


DEPOSITS -- The fair value of checking, passbook and statement and money 
market deposits is deemed equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair 
value of certificates is estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses 
using interest rates offered by TCF for certificates of similar remaining 
maturities.


BORROWINGS -- The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their 
fair values. The fair values of TCF's long-term borrowings are estimated 
based on quoted market prices or discounted cash flow analyses using interest 
rates for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.


FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK -- The fair values of 
residential commitments to extend credit and forward mortgage loan sales 
commitments associated with residential loans held for sale are based upon 
quoted market prices. The fair values of TCF's remaining commitments to 
extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using fees 
currently charged to enter into similar agreements. For fixed-rate loan 
commitments and standby letters of credit issued in conjunction with 
fixed-rate loan agreements, fair value also considers the difference between 
current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.

48 TCF 


    TCF has not incurred, and does not anticipate, significant losses as a 
result of the recourse provisions associated with its balance of VA loans 
serviced with partial recourse. As a result, the carrying amounts and related 
estimated fair values of these financial instruments were not material at 
December 31, 1998 and 1997.

    As discussed above, the carrying amounts of certain of the Company's 
financial instruments approximate their fair value. The carrying amounts 
disclosed below are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of 
Financial Condition under the indicated captions, except where noted 
otherwise. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's remaining 
financial instruments are set forth in the following table:



                                                                                  AT DECEMBER 31,

17. STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

The TCF Financial 1995 Incentive Stock Program (the "Program") was adopted to 
enable TCF to attract and retain key personnel. Under the program, no more 
than 5% of the shares of TCF common stock outstanding on the date of initial 
shareholder approval may be awarded. Options generally become exercisable 
over a period of one to 10 years from the date of the grant and expire after 
10 years. All outstanding options have a fixed exercise price equal to the 
market price of TCF common stock on the date of grant. Restricted stock 
granted in 1998 generally vests within five years, but may be subject to a 
delayed vesting schedule if certain return on equity goals are not met. Other 
restricted stock grants generally vest over periods from three to eight years.


ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION -- TCF has elected to retain the 
intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, 
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," for its stock-based employee 
compensation plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized 
for TCF's stock option grants. Compensation expense for restricted stock 
under APB Opinion No. 25 is recorded over the vesting periods, and totaled 
$5.9 million, $8.3 million and $7.9 million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, 
respectively.

                                                                        TCF 49


    Had compensation expense been determined based on the fair value at the 
grant dates for awards under the Program consistent with the method of SFAS 
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," TCF's pro forma net 
income and earnings per common share would have been as follows:

    Since the pro forma disclosures of results under SFAS No. 123 are only 
required to consider grants awarded since 1995, the pro forma effects of 
applying SFAS No. 123 during this period may not be representative of the 
effects on reported results for future years.

    The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using 
the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following weighted-average 
assumptions used for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively: risk-free interest 
rates of 4.78%, 5.95% and 6.50%; dividend yield of 2.6%, 1.7% and 2.1%; 
expected lives of 5.25, 10 and 5 years; and volatility of 27.2%, 26.4% and 
19.6%.

    The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted was $6.49, 
$11.98 and $3.32 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The weighted-average 
grant-date fair value of restricted stock was $31.19, $22.23 and $16.75 in 
1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

18.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The TCF Cash Balance Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan") is a defined benefit
qualified plan covering all "regular stated salary" employees and certain
part-time employees who are at least 21 years old and have completed a year of
eligibility service with TCF. TCF makes a monthly allocation to the
participant's account based on a percentage of the participant's compensation.
The percentage is based on the sum of the participant's age and years of
employment with TCF. Participants are fully vested after five years of vesting
service.

    In addition to providing retirement income benefits, TCF provides health
care benefits for eligible retired employees, and in some cases life insurance
benefits (the "Postretirement Plan"). Substantially all full-time employees may
become eligible for health care benefits if they reach retirement age and have
completed 10 years of service with the Company, with certain exceptions. These
and similar benefits for active employees are provided through insurance
companies or through self-funded programs. The Postretirement Plan is an
unfunded plan.


    The following tables set forth the status of the Pension Plan and the
Postretirement Plan at the dates indicated:

    The Pension Plan's assets consist primarily of listed stocks and government
bonds. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Plan's assets included TCF common
stock with a market value of $7.3 million and $12.2 million, respectively.

    For active participants of the Postretirement Plan, an 8% annual rate of
increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for
1999. This rate is assumed to decrease gradually to 6% for the year 2004 and
remain at that level thereafter. For most retired participants, the annual rate
of increase is assumed to be 4% for all future years, which represents the
Plan's annual limit on increases in TCF's contributions for retirees.

    Assumed health care cost trend rates have an effect on the amounts reported
for the Postretirement Plan. A one-percentage point change in assumed health
care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN -- The TCF Employees Stock Purchase Plan
generally allows participants to make contributions by salary deduction of up to
12% of their salary on a tax-deferred basis pursuant to section 401(k) of the
IRC. TCF matches the contributions of all employees at the rate of 50 cents per
dollar, with a maximum employer contribution of 3% of the employee's salary.
Employee contributions vest immediately while the Company's matching
contributions are subject to a graduated vesting schedule based on an employee's
years of vesting service. The Company's matching contributions are expensed when
made. TCF's contribution to the plan was $2.7 million, $2.2 million and $1.8
million in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

20. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

TCF's wholly owned bank subsidiaries, TCF Minnesota, TCF Illinois, TCF
Wisconsin, and Great Lakes Michigan (collectively "the banks"), have been
identified as reportable operating segments in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 131. The banks have the following operating units that provide
financial services to customers: deposits and investment products, commercial
lending, consumer lending, lease financing, mortgage banking and residential
lending, and investments and mortgage-backed securities. In addition, TCF
operates a bank holding company ("parent company") that provides data
processing, bank operations and other professional services to the banks. The
results of the parent company and TCF Colorado, a wholly owned bank subsidiary
of TCF, comprise the "other" category in the tables below.

    TCF evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the banks' net
income, net interest margin, return on average assets and return on average
realized common equity. The banks follow generally accepted accounting
principles as described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. TCF
generally accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost. Certain asset
sales between the banks were accounted for at current market prices, resulting
in intercompany profit.

    Each bank is managed separately with its own president, who reports directly
to TCF's chief operating decision maker, and board of directors.

or loss and assets for each of TCF's reportable segments, including

22. FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION SPECIAL ASSESSMENT

Federal legislation enacted on September 30, 1996 addressed inadequate
funding of the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which had resulted
in a large deposit insurance premium disparity between banks insured by the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF") and SAIF-insured thrifts. As a result of this
legislation, a one-time special assessment was imposed on thrift institutions,
and TCF recognized a $34.8 million pretax charge for assessments imposed on its
bank subsidiaries. The legislation also provided for a reduction in deposit
insurance premiums in subsequent periods and other regulatory reforms.

23. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

From time to time, TCF is a party to legal proceedings arising out of its
general lending and operating activities. TCF is and expects to become engaged
in a number of foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of
its loan collection activities. From time to time, borrowers have also brought
actions against TCF, in some cases claiming substantial amounts of damages. Some
financial services companies have recently been subjected to significant
exposure in connection with class actions and/or suits seeking punitive damages.
While the Company is not aware of any actions or allegations which should
reasonably give rise to any material adverse effect, it is possible that the
Company could be subjected to such a claim in an amount which could be material.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT



[LOGO]


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of TCF Financial Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of TCF Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity,
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1998.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TCF 
Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the 
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the 
three-year period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.
