TCF FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Financial Review 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. 14 TCF The following table presents TCF's average balance sheets, interest and dividends earned or paid, and the related yields and rates on major categories of TCF's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities: YEAR ENDED YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 DECEMBER 31, 1997 -

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 The following table presents the components of non-interest income: PERCENTAGE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, INCREASE (DECREASE) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 1996 1998/97 1997/96 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fee and service charge revenues ........... $127,952 $101,329 $ 90,424 26.3% 12.1% Electronic funds transfer revenues ........ 50,556 30,808 21,478 64.1 43.4 Leasing revenues .......................... 31,344 32,025 23,814 (2.1) 34.5 Title insurance revenues .................. 20,161 13,730 13,492 46.8 1.8 Commissions on sales of annuities ......... 8,413 7,894 9,134 6.6 (13.6) Commissions on sales of mutual funds ...... 5,513 3,998 3,372 37.9 18.6 Gain on sale of loans held for sale ....... 7,575 4,777 5,038 58.6 (5.2) Other ..................................... 11,156 7,789 6,584 43.2 18.3 -------- --------- -------- 262,670 202,350 173,336 29.8 16.7 -------- --------- -------- Gain on sale of securities available for sale .................... 2,246 8,509 86 (73.6) 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: PERCENTAGE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, INCREASE (DECREASE) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 1996 1998/97 1997/96 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compensation and employee benefits .................... $217,401 $180,482 $157,554 20.5% 14.6% Occupancy and equipment .......... 71,323 58,352 51,958 22.2 12.3 Advertising and promotions ....... 19,544 19,157 17,014 2.0 12.6 Federal deposit insurance premiums and assessments .... 5,439 4,689 12,019 16.0 (61.0) Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles ........... 11,399 15,757 3,540 (27.7) 345.1 FDIC special assessment .......... -- -- 34,803 -- (100.0) Other ............................ 103,594 82,925 76,438 24.9 8.5 -------- -------- -------- Total non-interest expense ........... $428,700 $361,362 $353,326 18.6 2.3 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 20 TCF 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 -- The following table sets forth information about loans and leases held in TCF's portfolio, excluding loans held for sale: AT DECEMBER 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Residential real estate ................ $3,765,280 $3,623,845 $2,252,312 $2,607,202 $2,646,644 Consumer ............................... 1,876,554 1,976,699 1,728,368 1,534,213 1,286,143 Commercial real estate ................. 811,428 859,916 858,225 967,766 994,452 Commercial business .................... 289,104 240,207 157,057 167,920 191,142 Lease financing ........................ 398,812 368,521 296,958 239,247 194,379 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Total loans and leases ............ $7,141,178 $7,069,188 $5,292,920 $5,516,348 $5,312,760 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 The following table summarizes TCF's commercial real estate loan portfolio by property type: AT DECEMBER 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1998 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NUMBER NUMBER (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) BALANCE (1) OF LOANS BALANCE (1) OF LOANS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apartments ......................... $ 269,791 608 $ 304,866 675 Office buildings ................... 155,780 243 167,607 241 Retail services .................... 130,790 236 148,985 232 Warehouse/industrial buildings ..... 86,902 135 79,980 143 Hospitality facilities ............. 41,338 19 60,544 29 Health care facilities ............. 24,280 14 12,494 10 Other .............................. 105,530 317 87,688 393 Unearned discounts and deferred loan fees ............

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: ALLOCATIONS AS A PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL LOANS AND LEASES OUTSTANDING BY TYPE AT DECEMBER 31, AT DECEMBER 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Residential real estate ..... $ 3,471 $ 3,501 $ 2,379 $ 3,238 $ 2,493 .09% .10% .11% .12% .09% Commercial real estate ...... 12,525 15,065 16,213 20,701 22,006 1.54 1.75 1.89 2.14 2.21 Commercial business ......... 5,756 4,520 3,072 7,261 5,603 1.99 1.88 1.96 4.32 2.93 Consumer .................... 32,011 28,129 26,700 16,667 10,757 1.71 1.42 1.54 1.09 .84 Lease financing ............. 2,955 2,004 1,116 595 -- .74 .54 .38 .25 -- Unallocated ................. 23,295 29,364 22,385 17,828 15,484 N.A.

Not applicable. 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: AT DECEMBER 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Non-accrual loans and leases: Consumer ...................................... $17,745 $21,037 $13,472 $ 7,487 $ 2,127 Residential real estate ....................... 8,078 8,451 3,996 7,045 7,211 Commercial real estate ........................ 4,352 3,818 7,604 22,255 18,452 Commercial business ........................... 2,797 3,370 1,149 7,541 5,972 Lease financing ............................... 725 117 176 -- -- ------- ------- -------- -------- -------- 33,697 36,793 26,397 44,328 33,762 Other real estate owned and other assets .......... 14,972 21,953 19,937 26,402 23,849 ------- ------- -------- -------- -------- Total non-performing assets ................... $48,669 $58,746 $46,334 $70,730 $57,611 ------- ------- -------- -------- -------- Non-performing assets as a percentage of net loans and leases .................................... .69% .84% .89% 1.30% 1.10% Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets ........................................ .48 .60 .62 .94 .71 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TCF 23 The following table sets forth information regarding TCF's delinquent loan and lease portfolio, excluding loans held for sale and non-accrual loans and leases: AT DECEMBER 31, - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERCENTAGE OF PERCENTAGE OF PRINCIPAL LOANS AND PRINCIPAL LOANS AND (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) BALANCES LEASES BALANCES LEASES - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans and leases delinquent for: 30-59 days .................... $51,768 .72% $38,902 .54% 60-89 days .................... 15,373 .22 12,730 .18 90 days or more ............... -- -- -- -- ------- ---- ------- ---- Total ..................... $67,141 .94% $51,632 .72% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The over 30-day delinquency rate on TCF's loans and leases (excluding loans held for sale and non-accrual loans and leases) was .94% of loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 1998, compared with .72% at year-end 1997. TCF's delinquency rates are determined using the contractual method. The following table sets forth information regarding TCF's over 30-day delinquent loan and lease portfolio, excluding loans held for sale and non-accrual loans and leases: AT DECEMBER 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1998 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PRINCIPAL PERCENTAGE PRINCIPAL PERCENTAGE (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) BALANCES OF PORTFOLIO BALANCES OF PORTFOLIO - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Consumer .................................... $52,588 2.83% $38,610 1.91% Residential real estate ..................... 9,151 .24 10,567 .29 Commercial real estate ...................... 1,787 .22 1,173 .14 Commercial business ......................... 1,984 .69 396 .17 Lease financing ............................. 1,631 .41 886 .21 ------- ------- Total ............................. $67,141 .94 $51,632 .72 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. 26 TCF The following table summarizes TCF's interest-rate gap position at December 31, 1998: MATURITY/RATE SENSITIVITY ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WITHIN 30 DAYS TO 6 MONTHS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 30 DAYS 6 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR 1 TO 3 YEARS 3+ YEARS TOTAL - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest-earning assets: Loans held for sale ........................ $ 29,515 $ 89,481 $ 94,077 $ -- $ -- $ 213,073 Securities available for sale .............. 67,266 273,157 258,274 395,766 683,456 1,677,919 Real estate loans(1) ....................... 301,915 694,853 749,200 1,517,542 1,313,198 4,576,708 Lease financings ........................... 15,792 75,467 71,704 201,893 33,956 398,812 Other loans(1) ............................. 1,244,145 141,277 139,590 337,515 303,131 2,165,658 Investments ................................ 254,603 -- -- -- 23,112 277,715 ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 1,913,236 1,274,235 1,312,845 2,452,716 2,356,853 9,309,885 ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Interest-bearing liabilities: Checking deposits(2) ....................... 180,912 -- -- -- 1,698,711 1,879,623 Passbook and statement deposits(2) ......... 66,933 124,060 131,258 355,972 498,708 1,176,931 Money market deposits ...................... 700,004 -- -- -- -- 700,004 Certificate deposits ....................... 336,455 1,328,160 793,167 459,342 41,464 2,958,588 Federal Home Loan Bank advances ............ 200,000 35,000 335,207 1,184,001 50,000 1,804,208 Discounted lease rentals ................... 8,586 39,862 41,702 86,141 7,393 183,684 Other borrowings ........................... 442,585 161 174 530 29,704 473,154 ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 1,935,475 1,527,243 1,301,508 2,085,986 2,325,980 9,176,192 ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Interest-earning assets over (under) interest-bearing liabilities ............... $ (22,239) $ (253,008) $ 11,337 $ 366,730 $ 30,873 $ 133,693 ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Cumulative gap ................................ $ (22,239) $ (275,247) $ (263,910) $ 102,820 $ 133,693 $ 133,693 ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Cumulative gap as a percentage of total assets: At December 31, 1998 ....................... --% (3)% (3)% 1% 1% 1% ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- At December 31, 1997 ....................... 7% --% (2)% 4% 4% 4% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Based upon contractual maturity, repricing date, if applicable, scheduled repayments of principal and projected prepayments of principal based upon experience.

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: TCF 27 AT DECEMBER 31, 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1999 2000 2001 2002 -

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, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities available for sale (net of tax expense (benefit) of $206, $6,994 and $(5,689), respectively) ......................................................... $ 236 $11,465 $(9,273) Reclassification adjustment for gains included in net income (net of tax expense of $1,045, $3,224 and $33, respectively) ......................................................... (1,201) (5,285) (53) ------- ------- ------- Total other comprehensive income, 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: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER-SHARE DATA) 1998 1997 1996 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in basic earnings per common share calculation ............... 88,092,895 84,477,536 81,903,690 Net dilutive effect of: Stock option plans ................................................ 346,434 468,275 537,900 Restricted stock plans ............................................ 476,486 838,189 654,918 Assumed conversion of 7 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures .. -- 349,936 842,850 ----------- ---------- ----------- Weighted average number of shares outstanding adjusted for effect of dilutive securities ................................. 88,915,815 86,133,936 83,939,358 ----------- ---------- ----------- Net income .......................................................... $ 156,179 $ 145,061 $ 100,377 Add: Interest expense on 7 1/4% convertible subordinated debentures, net of tax ............................................ -- 132 328 ----------- ---------- ----------- Income applicable to common shareholders including effect of dilutive securities ............................................ $ 156,179 $ 145,193 $ 100,705 ----------- ---------- ----------- Basic earnings per common share ..................................... $ 1.77 $ 1.72 $ 1.23 ----------- ---------- ----------- Diluted earnings per common share ................................... $ 1.76 $ 1.69 $ 1.20 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

All of the impaired loans were on non-accrual status. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1998 was $8.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 1998, TCF recognized interest income on impaired loans of $90,000, none of which was recognized using the cash basis method of income recognition. At December 31, 1997, the recorded investment in loans that were considered to be impaired was $7.2 million for which the related allowance for loan losses was $1.7 million. All of the impaired loans were on non-accrual status. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 1997 was $13.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 1997, TCF recognized interest income on impaired loans of $417,000, of which $208,000 was recognized using the cash basis method of income recognition. At December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, loans and leases on non-accrual status totaled $33.7 million, $36.8 million and $26.4 million, respectively. Had the loans and leases performed in accordance with their original terms throughout 1998, TCF would have recorded gross interest income of $3.7 million for these loans and leases. Interest income of $1.6 million has been recorded on these loans and leases for the year ended December 31, 1998. At December 31, 1998, TCF had no loans or leases outstanding with terms that had been modified in troubled debt restructurings, compared with $1.3 million of such commercial real estate loans at December 31, 1997. There were no material commitments to lend additional funds to customers whose loans or leases were classified as restructured or non-accrual at December 31, 1998.

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: REPURCHASE BORROWING COLLATERAL SECURITIES ----------------------------------------------------- INTEREST CARRYING MARKET (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) AMOUNT RATE AMOUNT VALUE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maturity: January 1999 ......... $317,280 6.81% $327,479 $327,479 November 2001 ........ 50,000 5.71 53,174 53,174 -------- -------------------- $367,280 6.66 $380,653 $380,653 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. The following table sets forth TCF's maximum and average borrowing levels for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1998: SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE DISCOUNTED AGREEMENTS AND FHLB LEASE OTHER (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) FEDERAL FUNDS PURCHASED ADVANCES RENTALS BORROWINGS - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Year ended December 31, 1998: Average balance .......................... $140,414 $1,367,104 $205,393 $ 92,467 Maximum month-end balance ................ 367,280 1,804,208 222,018 214,087 Average rate for period .................. 5.60% 5.80% 8.15% 7.38% Year ended December 31, 1997: Average balance .......................... $346,339 $ 817,464 $222,558 $ 97,547 Maximum month-end balance ................ 482,231 1,339,578 241,895 136,259 Average rate for period .................. 5.74% 5.89% 8.28% 7.56% Year ended December 31, 1996: Average balance .......................... $506,298 $ 674,703 $180,586 $ 85,571 Maximum month-end balance ................ 647,707 1,141,040 189,105 139,658 Average rate for period .................. 5.65% 5.52% 8.25% 7.20% - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 44 TCF 12.

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: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computed income tax expense.................................. $ 92,837 $84,317 $56,493 Increase (reduction) in income tax expense resulting from: ESOP dividend deduction.............................

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 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) AMOUNT PERCENTAGE AMOUNT PERCENTAGE - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tier 1 leverage capital ......................... $659,661 6.75% $752,091 7.80% Tier 1 leverage capital requirement ............. 293,024 3.00 289,132 3.00 ------------------------------------------------ Excess ................................... $366,637 3.75% $462,959 4.80% ------------------------------------------------ Tier 1 risk-based capital ....................... $659,661 10.45% $752,091 11.97% Tier 1 risk-based capital requirement ........... 252,458 4.00 251,273 4.00 ------------------------------------------------ Excess ................................... $407,203 6.45% $500,818 7.97% ------------------------------------------------ Total risk-based capital ........................ $738,239 11.70% $830,639 13.22% Total risk-based capital requirement ............ 504,916 8.00 502,547 8.00 ------------------------------------------------ Excess ................................... $233,323 3.70% $328,092 5.22% - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESTIMATED ESTIMATED CARRYING FAIR CARRYING FAIR AMOUNT VALUE AMOUNT VALUE - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial instrument assets: Loans held for sale ................................. $ 213,073 $ 215,909 $ 244,612 $ 248,341 Loans: Residential real estate ........................... $3,765,280 $3,813,684 $3,623,845 $3,686,635 Commercial real estate ............................ 811,428 824,358 859,916 866,851 Commercial business ............................... 289,104 288,443 240,207 239,611 Consumer .......................................... 1,876,554 1,993,242 1,976,699 2,159,218 Allowance for loan losses(1) ......................

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: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER-SHARE DATA) 1998 1997 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net income: As reported........................................... $156,179 $145,061 $100,377 ---------------------------------------------- Pro forma............................................. $156,271 $146,155 $100,553 ---------------------------------------------- Basic earnings per common share: As reported........................................... $ 1.77 $ 1.72 $ 1.23 ---------------------------------------------- Pro forma............................................. $ 1.77 $ 1.73 $ 1.23 ---------------------------------------------- Diluted earnings per common share: As reported........................................... $ 1.76 $ 1.69 $ 1.20 ---------------------------------------------- Pro forma............................................. $ 1.76 $ 1.70 $ 1.20 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.

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: PENSION PLAN POSTRETIREMENT PLAN ----------------------- ------------------------ YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ----------------------- ------------------------ (IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 1998 1997 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year ................................ $ 17,027 $ 13,551 $ 8,603 $ 7,871 Service cost -- benefits earned during the year ......................... 2,967 2,091 299 236 Interest cost on benefit obligation .................................... 1,454 1,207 641 604 Acquisition/merger ..................................................... 5,006 -- -- -- Actuarial loss ......................................................... 3,647 1,151 358 573 Benefits paid ..........................................................

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: 1-PERCENTAGE- 1-PERCENTAGE- (IN THOUSANDS) POINT INCREASE POINT DECREASE - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effect on total of service and interest cost components $ 65 $ (55) Effect on postretirement benefit obligation 416 (358) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 52 TCF 19.

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.

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. 56 TCF 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. /s/ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota January 19, 1999 TCF 57 OTHER FINANCIAL DATA SELECTED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER-SHARE DATA) AT DECEMBER 31, 1998 AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECTED FINANCIAL CONDITION DATA: Total assets.......................................... $10,164,594 $9,900,439 Investments........................................... 277,715 135,491 Securities available for sale......................... 1,677,919 1,673,722 Loans and leases...................................... 7,141,178 7,092,639 Deposits.............................................. 6,715,146 6,733,368 Borrowings............................................ 2,461,046 2,159,948 Stockholders' equity.................................. 845,502 869,426 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 1998 SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECTED OPERATIONS DATA: Interest income................................................... $185,286 $185,229 Interest expense.................................................. 80,625 80,605 ----------------------------------- Net interest income............................................ 104,661 104,624 Provision for credit losses....................................... 9,761 4,544 ----------------------------------- Net interest income after provision for credit losses................................ 94,900 100,080 ----------------------------------- Non-interest income: Gain (loss) on sale of securities available for sale........... -- (43) Gain on sale of loan servicing................................. -- 2,414 Gain on sale of branches....................................... 12,051 226 Gain on sale of joint venture interest......................... -- -- Other non-interest income...................................... 70,066 71,263 ----------------------------------- Total non-interest income.................................. 82,117 73,860 ----------------------------------- Non-interest expense: Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles.................................................. 2,829 2,828 Other non-interest expense..................................... 107,096 109,054 ----------------------------------- Total non-interest expense................................. 109,925 111,882 ----------------------------------- Income before income tax expense............................... 67,092 62,058 Income tax expense................................................ 27,588 25,477 ----------------------------------- Net income..................................................... $ 39,504 $ 36,581 ----------------------------------- Per common share: Basic earnings................................................. $ .47 $ .42 ----------------------------------- Diluted earnings............................................... $ .46 $ .42 ----------------------------------- Diluted cash earnings (1)...................................... $ .49 $ .44 ----------------------------------- Dividends declared............................................. $ .1625 $ .1625 ----------------------------------- FINANCIAL RATIOS (2): Return on average assets.......................................... 1.60% 1.54% Cash return on average assets (1)................................. 1.70 1.64 Return on average realized common equity.......................... 18.77 16.75 Return on average common equity................................... 18.56 16.58 Cash return on average tangible equity (1)........................ 25.18 22.48 Average total equity to average assets............................ 8.63 9.28 Net interest margin (3)........................................... 4.65 4.82 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Excludes amortization and reduction of goodwill and deposit base intangibles.
