ABOUT THE COVER Our cover is not just a list of banking
terms; rather it is a composite of the ideas and ideals that
have molded TCF Bank over the years. Beginning in the late
1980's, with the introduction of ŒTotally Free Checking•
and home equity loans, TCF has defined itself as a bank of

customer convenience. TCF banks everyone; our primary
focus is lower- and middle-income customers and small to
medium-sized businesses in our markets.

Over the last 15 years we have introduced such convenient
banking services as supermarket banking, ATMs, phone bank-
ing and debit cards. In June of this year, we launched our

online banking service. When we combine this suite of ser-
vices with the fact that we are open 12 hours a day, holidays,
seven days a week and 360 + days a year, we believe we are the

most convenient bank in Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Colorado.

Our de novo expansion strategy of opening new branches
and introducing new products and services is working. We
have opened 164 branches over the last three years, and plan

to continue with 30 to 40 branches in 2001. TCF's intro-
duction of the TCF Express Phone Card was very successful,
leading the way to an 18% increase in fee income. Our online
banking service has already attracted over 25,000 customers.
TCF's ongoing belief in the products and services listed
on our cover is producing results. We are now listed among

the top performing banks in the nation and have some of
the highest performance ratios in the industry. TCF has
posted record operating earnings for the last 10 years, and
enjoyed a 79% increase in our stock price in 2000.

for us. It demonstrates that we are growing our core

businesses, not just cutting expenses as many of our

competitors are doing. We believe that growing busi-

nesses generate premium price-to-earnings ratios.

Growth in top-line revenue results from increas-

ing Power Assets and Power Liabilities. Net interest

income growth is driven by a changed balance sheet.

Fee income growth is fueled by expanding the num-

ber of fee income producing products and services

while growing the overall customer base. TCF added

nearly 100,000 new checking accounts in 2000,

bringing our total to 1,131,000. We now have 1.1 mil-

Random House Webster's College Dictionary

TCF believes that innovation and continuous improvement are key to an organization's success. In 2000 we created a process to boost

the recognition of innovators at TCF. The central aim is to create a corporate culture that supports innovation and to provide an envi-

ronment that fosters the values of freedom, tolerance, and individual initiative in a business setting. It is our hope that as these val-

ues permeate the organization, new ideas and products will be produced. Ideas deemed most worthy of implementation will be selected

and champions designated to move them forward. Some of TCF's most recent innovations include the very successful TCF Leasing, Inc.

and the TCF Express Phone Card.

LEASING TCF Leasing, one of TCF's newest de novo businesses, became profitable in less than one year. TCF first entered the leasing

business with its acquisition of Winthrop Resources Corporation (Winthrop) in 1997. Winthrop specializes in leasing high-tech and

business-essential equipment to large and middle-market companies throughout the United States. TCF Leasing was launched in

September 1999 and focuses on general equipment financing for middle-market companies, trucks and trailers, specialty trucks, lease

discounting, leveraged leasing and small ticket leasing.

For this de novo start-up, we were fortunate to assemble an excel-

lent team of experienced managers. From the back room processors

to the leasing sales representatives on the street, TCF recruited knowl-

edgeable, seasoned veterans from the leasing industry.

Total assets since TCF Leasing's inception in September 1999

have grown to $506.1 million at December 31, 2000. Total unin-

stalled backlog (where the transaction has been credit-approved

but not yet accepted by the customer) over that same period has

also grown tremendously, from $54.4 million at December 31, 1999

to $94 million at December 31, 2000. Fueled by these successes,

TCF Leasing became profitable during its second full quarter of

operation. TCF Leasing has quickly become a strong driver of prof-

itability for TCF and has set an impressive pattern of growth. We

attribute our success to the team of dedicated innovators who took

an existing business model and molded it to fit TCF's strategies.

Phone Cards issued

I N N O V A T I O N S1m i l l i o n  +

The TCF Express Phone Card is the first of its kind to reward

debit card use with telephone minutes … something of value

that almost any customer can use. Customers accumulate free

long distance time with every TCF Check Card purchase of

$10 or more. In 2000, customers greatly increased their TCF

Check Card usage and we awarded them more than 38 million

free long-distance phone minutes.

PHONE CARD The February launch of the TCF Express Phone Card customer loyalty program was another successful innovation. The

TCF Express Phone Card rewards our checking account customers for using their TCF Check Cards to make merchant purchases. Each

purchase earns free long distance minutes, which accumulate and can be used to make long-distance calls, courtesy of TCF. The TCF

Express Phone Card was one of the first loyalty programs for debit card customers and one of the first in the nation to offer long dis-

tance minutes. TCF selected phone minutes as a reward vehicle because of the appeal to a broad customer base.

The TCF Express Phone Card is credited with accelerating Check Card use and increasing Check Card revenue. For 2000, TCF's

Check Card revenue totaled $28.7 million, an increase of $9.1 million over the 1999 total. TCF is now the 16th largest issuer of Visa

debit cards in the United States and our activation rate is higher than most of our competitors. Additionally, the Check Card has proven

itself to be closely linked to customer retention. Continuing to offer customers rewards like the Express Phone Card for using the Check

Card should have a long-term positive impact on the value of our customer relationships. TCF plans to refresh and enhance this suc-

cessful program over time.

TCF continues to foster a culture of innovation. In 2001 we'll introduce TCF Express Trade, our discount brokerage service. Additional

ideas for new business opportunities will be generated, submitted and evaluated, and some will be implemented. In this way, TCF will

continue to lead by encouraging, recognizing, and rewarding the innovative spirit.

P O W E R  A S S E T S ® &  P O W E R  L I A B I L I T I E S ®

At TCF, Power Assets and Power Liabilities, which we call Power Businesses, drive the earnings for the Company. We have for some time

realized that the ability to generate and retain low interest-cost deposits; checking, savings, money market accounts and certificates,

has a significant influence on our net income. Our 352-branch system was successful in producing a net increase of 99,000 checking

accounts in 2000, which brought our total number of checking accounts to 1.1 million. This is truly the strength of the TCF franchise.

When we introduced our Check Card in 1997 we were able to get over one million cards in circulation in a short period of time. These

Check Cards produced $28.7 million of fee income in 2000. Once the checking account is opened, we have the ability to sell these new

customers all of our other convenience products. This has resulted in $2.2 billion in checking accounts, $1 billion in savings, $837 mil-

lion in money markets and $2.8 billion in certificates of deposit. Our Power Liabilities totaled $6.9 billion at year-end 2000, up $307

million from 1999.

The additional benefit of having a growing base of low-cost, profitable deposits is that when we underwrite our Power Assets, we

do not have to take unadvisable credit risks as we approve and close our loans.

Our consumer lending, commercial lending and leasing and equipment finance divisions all produced at very high levels in 2000.

Consumer loans „  our largest Power Asset category at $2.2 billion „  had originations of $1.1 billion dollars during 2000 and outstand-

ings increased $175.6 million. The introduction of tiered pricing has allowed us to increase our loan-to-value ratios and lower our pric-

ing on home equity loans, while keeping our overall consumer loan charge-offs (12 basis points of average outstandings for 2000) and

delinquencies to a level below the national average for banks.

Our commercial division also had a great year. Commercial

loans, which consist of corporate loans and commercial real estate

loans, had $768 million in originations and increased outstanding

balances by $357.4 million during 2000. This was led by our com-

mercial real estate group, which increased their outstandings by

$298.4 million. We were able to team up with some excellent large

commercial developers on projects that met our underwriting stan-

dards. Our commercial business team also increased in outstand-

ings. More importantly, they were able to exit some deteriorating,

non-profitable credits this year without taking a loss. It has been

four years since we had a quarter where we took a net loss in com-

mercial lending.

Our newest entrant to Power Assets, leasing and equipment finance, had a strong year. Winthrop, our high-tech and business essen-

tial equipment leasing arm, continued to produce excellent results. TCF Leasing, which consists of truck and trailer, specialty trucks,

middle market, lease discounting, leveraged leasing and small ticket leases, had an exceptional year of production and increased

their outstandings by $424.4 million.

Leasing has slightly higher charge-off and delinquency rates

than our other Power Asset businesses. We continue to closely mon-

itor our quickly growing portfolio. Our charge-offs of 33 basis points

of average outstandings for 2000 and delinquencies of 1.83 percent

at year-end 2000 are well within industry averages.

Power Assets and Power Liabilities currently make up 52.5 per-

cent of our balance sheet, but produce 94.4 percent of our net

income and 98.6 percent of our fees. To the extent that we can con-

tinue to replace residential mortgages and mortgage-backed secu-

rities with Power Assets, and borrowings with Power Liabilities, our

operating earnings should continue to improve.

Mortgage banking activities include the origination and purchase

of residential mortgage loans, generally for sale to third parties

with servicing retained. This operating segment reported net

operating segments. The following summarizes the 2000 and 1999

income of $1.2 million for 2000, compared with a net loss of $1.1

results for these segments.

Banking

Banking, comprised of deposits and investment products, com-

mercial lending, consumer lending, residential lending and trea-

sury services, reported net income of $164.3 million for 2000,

up 8.4% from $151.5 million in 1999. Net interest income for

2000 was $397.9 million, essentially flat with 1999. The provi-

sion for credit losses totaled $9.6 million in 2000, down from

$15.1 million in 1999. The decrease reflects a reduction in pro-

visions recognized in connection with TCF’s discontinued con-

sumer finance automobile lending activity. Non-interest income

(excluding title insurance revenues, a business TCF sold in 1999,

and gains on asset sales) totaled $274.4 million, up 17.8% from

$233 million in 1999. This improvement was primarily due to

increased fees and service charges and electronic funds transfer

revenues, reflecting TCF’s expanded retail banking operations and

customer base. Non-interest expense (excluding the amortization

of goodwill and deposit base intangibles) totaled $398.9 million,

up 1.2% from $394.3 million in 1999. The increase was primar-

ily due to the costs associated with TCF’s continued retail bank-

ing expansion, including de novo supermarket branches, offset by

cost savings from discontinued businesses and sales of underper-

forming branches.

Leasing and Equipment Finance

Leasing and equipment finance, an operating segment comprised

of TCF’s wholly owned subsidiaries Winthrop and TCF Leasing,

provides a broad range of comprehensive lease and equipment

finance products. This operating segment reported net income of

$23 million for 2000, up 19.1% from $19.4 million in 1999. Net

interest income for 2000 was $30.4 million, up 20.6% from

$25.2 million in 1999. Leasing and equipment finance’s provi-

sion for credit losses totaled $5.2 million in 2000, up from $1.9

million in 1999, primarily as a result of the significant growth in

the portfolio. Non-interest income totaled $38.5 million in 2000,

million for 1999. Non-interest income (excluding gains on sales

of loan servicing) totaled $25.5 million, up 16.8% from $21.8

million in 1999. This increase is primarily due to a $5.6 million

increase in service fees on mortgage loans. During 2000, TCF

purchased the bulk servicing rights on $933 million of residen-

tial mortgage loans. In addition, the inter-segment residential

loan service fee charged to the banking segment was increased to

a market rate in 2000. Non-interest expense totaled $29.2 mil-

lion, down 10.3% from $32.6 million in 1999. During 2000,

TCF’s mortgage banking operation consolidated and streamlined

its operations in various states. TCF’s mortgage banking opera-

tion periodically purchases and sells loan servicing rights depend-

ing on market conditions.

Net Interest Income – Net interest income, which is the dif-
ference 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), represented 56.2% of TCF’s revenue in 2000.

Net interest income 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, loan pricing strategies and competitive condi-

tions, the volume and the mix of interest-earning assets and inter-

est-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets.

Net interest income was $438.5 million for the year ended

December 31, 2000, compared with $424.2 million in 1999 and

$425.7 million in 1998. This represents an increase of 3.4% in

2000, compared with a decrease of .4% in 1999 and an increase

of 8.2% in 1998. Total average interest-earning assets increased

6.1% in 2000, following increases of 7.9% in 1999 and 16.2% in

1998. The net interest margin for 2000 was 4.35%, compared

with 4.47% in 1999 and 4.84% in 1998.

Provision for Credit Losses – TCF provided $14.8 million for
credit losses in 2000, compared with $16.9 million in 1999 and

$23.3 million in 1998. The 1998 provision reflects significant pro-

visions recognized related to TCF’s discontinued consumer finance

automobile lending activity. The allowance for loan and lease losses

totaled $66.7 million at December 31, 2000, compared with $55.8

In December 1998, TCF restructured its consumer finance company operations, including the discontinuation of indirect automobile

lending and a renewed focus on home equity lending. In response to intensifying price competition, in early 1999 TCF implemented a tiered

pricing structure for its home equity loans. As a result of the new programs, TCF experienced an increase in the loan-to-value ratios on new

home equity loans. Many of these loans are secured by a first lien on the home and include an advance to pay off an existing first lien mortgage

loan. These loans may have balances exceeding $100,000. These loans may carry a higher level of credit risk than loans with a lower loan-to-

value ratio. Higher loan-to-value ratio loans are made to more creditworthy customers based on credit scoring models. The following table sets

forth additional information about the loan-to-value ratios for TCF’s home equity loan portfolio:

(1) Loan-to-value is based on the loan amount (current outstanding balance on closed-end loans and the total commitment on lines of credit) plus deferred loan origination costs net of
fees and refundable insurance premiums, if any, plus the original amount of senior liens, if any. Property values  represent the most recent appraised value or property tax assessment
value known to TCF. In most cases this value was obtained at the loan origination date and does not reflect subsequent appreciation or depreciation in property values, if any.

(2) Amount reflects the total outstanding loan balance. The portion of the loan balance in excess of 100% of the property value is substantially less.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses – Credit risk is the
risk of loss from a customer default. TCF has in place a process to

of problem loans and leases and special procedures for collection

of problem loans and leases. The risk of loss is difficult to quan-

identify and manage its credit risk. The process includes initial

tify and is subject to fluctuations in values and general economic

credit review and approval, periodic monitoring to measure com-

conditions and other factors. See Notes 1 and 7 of Notes to

non-recourse  basis  by  third-party  financial  institutions.

Contributing to the increase in leasing and equipment finance

delinquencies is an increase in delinquencies for the truck and

trailer segment during the fourth quarter of 2000. At December

31, 2000, approximately $9.6 million of the truck and trailer seg-

ment was over 30-days delinquent. The rise in fuel prices has had

an adverse impact on the owner/operator trucking industry. These

operators may be experiencing financial difficulties and may be

unable to meet their lease obligations. Management continues to

monitor the leasing and equipment finance and consumer loan

portfolios, which will generally have higher delinquencies than

other categories. See “Loans and Leases.”

In addition to the non-accrual loans and leases, there were

commercial real estate and commercial business loans and lease

financings with an aggregate principal balance of $19.9 million

outstanding at December 31, 2000 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 or doubtful, or were

to borrowers that currently are experiencing financial difficulties

or that management believes may experience financial difficulties

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 lend-

ing and for other general business purposes. In addition to

deposits, TCF derives funds primarily from loan and lease repay-

ments, proceeds from the discounting of leases, advances from the

FHLB and proceeds from reverse repurchase borrowing agree-

ments. 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.”

As previously noted, TCF continued to expand its supermarket banking franchise during 2000, opening 18 new branches during the year. TCF

now has 213 supermarket branches. During the past year, the number of deposit accounts in TCF’s supermarket branches increased 17.1% to over

646,000 accounts and the balances increased 30% to $1.1 billion. The average rate on these deposits increased from 2.24% at December 31, 1999

to 2.73% at December 31, 2000, due to general increases in interest rates. Additional information regarding TCF’s supermarket branches follows:

Stockholders’ Equity – Stockholders’ equity at December 31,
2000 was $910.2 million, or 8.1% of total assets, up from $809

million, or 7.6% of total assets, at December 31, 1999. The increase

in stockholders’ equity is primarily due to net income of $186.2

million for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the decrease

of $37.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss, par-

tially offset by the repurchase of 3,243,800 shares of TCF’s com-

mon stock at a cost of $73.8 million and the payment of $66.1

million in dividends on common stock. Since January 1, 1998, the

Company has repurchased 14.9 million shares of TCF’s common

stock at an average cost of $26.26 per share.

ing 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 neg-

ative interest-rate gap for a given period, the amount of its inter-

est-bearing liabilities maturing or otherwise repricing within such

period exceeds the amount of its interest-earning assets repricing

within the same period. In a rising interest-rate environment, insti-

tutions 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.

(1) Based upon contractual maturity, repricing date, if applicable, scheduled repayments of principal and projected prepayments of principal based upon experience.

(2) Includes non-interest bearing deposits. 7.5% of checking accounts are included in amounts repricing within one year. In addition, 34% and 29% of passbook and statement

accounts are included in the less than 1 year and “1 to 3 Years” categories, respectively. All remaining passbook and statement and checking accounts are assumed to mature in the 
“3+ Years” category. While management believes these assumptions are well based, no assurance can be given that amounts on deposit in checking and passbook and statement accounts
will not significantly change or be repriced in the event of a general change in interest rates. At December 31, 1999, money market accounts and 10% of checking accounts were
included in amounts repricing within one year, and 27% and 30% of passbook and statement accounts were included in the less than 1 year and “1 to 3 Years” categories, respectively.

(3) Reflects a change in maturity/repricing assumptions from those at December 31, 1999. Certain low-rate money market accounts totaling $395.2 million were moved to the 

“3+ Years” category due to a history of little or no repricing activity for the product types.

(4) Includes $671.5 million of callable FHLB advances, all of which have a call date beyond one year. Based upon market interest rates at December 31, 2000, $158.5 million of 

these FHLB advances are included as repricing in the “1 to 3 Years” category which corresponds to their next call date, instead of in the “3+ Years” category, which corresponds 
to their maturity date.

(5) Represents $300 million of unsettled callable FHLB advances that settle within 30 days. The call dates for these FHLB advances are beyond one year.

As previously noted, TCF also utilizes simulation models to esti-

rates. If interest rates were to decline by 200 basis points, net inter-

Management exercises its best judgment in making assump-

Recent Accounting Developments – Effective January 1, 2001,
TCF adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”)

No. 133, as amended, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and

Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instru-

ments as defined, including derivatives embedded in other finan-

cial instruments or contracts, be recognized as either assets or

liabilities in the statement of financial condition at fair value. Changes

in the fair value of a derivative are recorded in the results of opera-

tions. A derivative may be designated as a hedge of an exposure to

changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment

or as a hedge of cash flows of forecasted transactions. The account-

ing for derivatives that are used as hedges is dependent on the type

of hedge and requires that a hedge be highly effective in offsetting

changes in the hedged risk.

Under SFAS No. 133, TCF’s pipeline of locked residential mort-

gage loan commitments are considered derivatives and will be

recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in gains

on sales of loans held for sale in the income statement. TCF hedges

its risk of changes in the fair value of locked residential mortgage

loan commitments due to changes in interest rates through the use

of forward sales contracts. Forward sales contracts require TCF to

deliver qualifying residential mortgage loans or pools of loans at a

specified future date at a specified price or yield. Such forward sales

contracts hedging the pipeline of locked residential mortgage loan

commitments are derivatives under SFAS No. 133 and are recorded

at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in gains on sales

of loans held for sale. TCF also utilizes forward sales contracts to

hedge its risk of changes in the fair value of its residential loans held

for sale. In accordance with fair value hedge accounting under SFAS

No. 133, the forward sales contracts hedging the residential loans

held for sale are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value

recognized in gains on sales of loans held for sale as is the offset-

ting change in the fair value of the hedged loans. The impact of

adopting SFAS No. 133 on TCF’s financial position and results of

operations was not material.

Federal and state legislation imposes numerous legal and regula-

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. Among other possible

developments, pending legislation which would impose limita-

On November 12, 1999, the President signed into law the

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “Act”). The Act significantly changed

the regulatory structure and oversight of the financial services

industry and expanded financial affiliation opportunities for bank

holding companies. The Act permits “financial holding compa-

nies” to engage in a range of activities that are “financial in nature”

or “incidental” thereto, such as banking, insurance, securities

activities, and merchant banking. To qualify to engage in expanded

financial activities, a financial holding company must make cer-

tain required regulatory filings, and subsidiary depository insti-

tutions  must  be  well-capitalized,  well-managed  and  rated

“satisfactory” or better under the Community Reinvestment Act.

TCF filed an election to become a financial holding company with

the Federal Reserve, and this election became effective in June

2000. The Act also permits a national bank to engage in certain

expanded financial activities through a financial subsidiary, pro-

vided the bank and its depository institution affiliates are deemed

well-capitalized and well-managed and meet certain other regu-

latory requirements. The Act preempts state laws restricting the

establishment of financial affiliations authorized or permitted

under the Act, subject to certain limited exceptions, including an

exception that allows state insurance regulators to impose certain

requirements on financial institutions, so long as they are not sub-

stantially more adverse than those applying to other persons.

This Annual Report and other reports issued by the Company,

including reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,

may contain “forward-looking” statements that deal with future

results, plans or performance. In addition, TCF’s management may

make such statements orally to the media, or to securities analysts,

investors or others. Forward-looking statements deal with matters

that do not relate strictly to historical facts. TCF’s future results may

differ materially from historical performance and forward-looking

statements about TCF’s expected financial results or other plans are

subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These include but

are not limited to possible legislative changes and adverse economic,

business and competitive developments such as shrinking interest

margins; deposit outflows; reduced demand for financial services

and loan and lease products; changes in accounting policies or guide-

lines, or monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government;

changes in credit and other risks posed by TCF’s loan, lease and

investment portfolios; technological, computer-related or opera-

tional difficulties; adverse changes in securities markets; results of

litigation or other significant uncertainties.

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 financial holding company engaged pri-

marily in community banking and lease financing through its wholly

owned subsidiaries, TCF National Bank and TCF National Bank

Colorado (“TCF Colorado”). The preparation of financial state-

ments 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 con-

tingent 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 – Comprehensive income is the total of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), which for TCF is
comprised entirely of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale. The following table summarizes the components of other

comprehensive income (loss):

( I n   t h o u s a n d s )

Unrealized holding gains (losses) on securities available for sale (net of tax expense 

(benefit) of $22,212, ($31,532) and $206, respectively)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Investments – Investments are carried at cost, adjusted for amor-
tization 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 related deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated

other comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate compo-

nent 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. Declines

in the value of securities available for sale that are considered other

than temporary are recorded in noninterest income as a loss on

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.

Lease financings include direct financing and sales-type leases

as well as leveraged 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 car-

ried at the combined present value of the future minimum lease

payments and the lease residual value, which represents the esti-

mated fair value of the leased equipment at the termination of the

Included in FHLB advances at December 31, 2000 are $1.5 billion of fixed-rate advances which are callable at par on certain dates. If called,

the FHLB will provide replacement funding at the then-prevailing market interest rates. Due to changes in interest rates since the long-term

FHLB advances were obtained, the market rates exceeded the contract rates on $53 million of the long-term FHLB advances with call dates

within one year. The probability that these advances will be called depends primarily on the level of related interest rates during the call period.

The stated maturity dates and the next call dates for the callable FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2000 were as follows (in thousands):

TCF is subject to various regulatory capital requirements admin-

istered 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 could have a direct material effect on TCF’s financial state-

ments. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory frame-

work 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 percent-

ages of adjusted assets, together with the excess over the minimum

capital requirements:

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 pur-

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 customer’s creditworthi-

ness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is

based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. For

and forward mortgage loan sales commitments, the contract or

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, 2000 and 1999,

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, 2000 were fixed-rate mortgage loan

commitments and loans in process aggregating $27.5 million.

Standby Letters of Credit – Standby letters of credit are con-
ditional 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 $28.8 million

and $22 million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Collateral held primarily consists of commercial real estate mort-

gages. 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.

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 foreclo-

sure of a loan. The serviced loans are collateralized by residential

real estate and totaled $182.1 million and $184.5 million at

December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Forward Mortgage Loan Sales Commitments – TCF enters
into forward mortgage loan sales commitments in order to man-

age 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 $121.7 million and $46.3

million at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

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 infor-

mation and information about the financial instruments. Fair

value estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties

and matters of significant judgment, and therefore cannot be deter-

mined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly

affect the estimates.

The carrying amounts of cash and due from banks, investments

and accrued interest payable and receivable approximate their fair

values due to the short period of time until their expected real-

ization. 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 finan-

cial instrument disclosure requirements.

The  following  methods  and  assumptions  are  used  by  the

Company in estimating 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 $49.8 million at December 31, 2000, compared with a

carrying amount of $40.1 million. The estimated fair value of cap-

italized 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 signif-

icant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying val-

ues. 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.

56
TCF

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 dis-

counted cash flow analyses using interest rates for borrowings of

similar remaining maturities.

loan agreements, fair value also considers the difference between

current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair

values of forward settlements of FHLB advances are based on the

difference between current levels of interest rates and the com-

mitted rates.

As discussed above, the carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. The carrying

noted otherwise. The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s remaining financial instruments are set forth in the following table:

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. Restricted stock granted to certain executive

officers in 2000 will vest only if certain earnings per share goals

are achieved by 2008. Failure to achieve the goals will result in all

or a portion of the shares being forfeited. Other restricted stock

grants generally vest over periods from three to eight years. TCF

also has prior programs with options that remain outstanding.

Those options are included in the following tables.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Effective
January 1, 2000, TCF adopted the recognition provisions of

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123,

“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” for stock-based

transactions beginning in 2000. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair

value of an option or similar equity instrument on the date of grant

is amortized to expense over the vesting period of the grant. The

recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 are applied prospectively

upon adoption. TCF applied the intrinsic value based method of

accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”)

Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” as

amended, for stock-based transactions through December 31,

1999. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized prior

to 2000 for TCF’s non-compensatory stock option grants.

TCF believes the fair value method of accounting more appro-

priately reflects the substance of the transaction between an entity

that issues stock options, or other stock-based instruments, and

its employees; that is, an entity has granted something of value to

an employee generally in return for their continued employment

and services. The fair value based method is designated as the pre-

ferred method of accounting by SFAS No. 123.

Compensation expense for restricted stock under SFAS No.

123 and APB Opinion No. 25 is recorded over the vesting peri-

ods, and totaled $9.4 million, $9.5 million and $5.9 million in

2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Had compensation expense for all periods been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the Program consis-

tent with the method of SFAS No. 123, TCF’s pro forma net income and earnings per common share would have been as follows for periods

prior to TCF’s adoption of SFAS No. 123:

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 1999 and 1998, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.03% and 4.78%; dividend yield of 2.7% and 2.6%;

expected lives of 7 and 5.25 years; and volatility of 27.0% and 27.2%.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options was $6.59, $7.02 and $6.49 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The weighted-

average grant date fair value of restricted stock was $24.60, $25.94 and $31.19 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The TCF Cash Balance Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) is a qual-

ified defined benefit plan covering all “regular stated salary” employ-

ees 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 percent-

age 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 qualifying service.

Substantially all full-time employees may become eligible for health

care benefits if they reach retirement age and have completed ten

years of service with the Company, with certain exceptions. Effective

January 1, 2000, TCF modified the Postretirement Plan by elim-

inating the Company subsidy for employees not yet eligible for

benefits under the Postretirement Plan. The plan provisions for

full-time and retired employees eligible for these benefits were

not changed. These and similar benefits for active employees are

provided through insurance companies or through self-funded

programs. The Postretirement Plan is an unfunded plan.

For active participants of the Postretirement Plan, a 7.2% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was

assumed for 2001. This rate is assumed to decrease gradually to 6% for the year 2005 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

Prior to April 1, 2000, TCF’s wholly owned bank subsidiaries

located in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan had been

identified as reportable segments. In April 2000, TCF merged

these four bank charters into one national bank charter head-

quartered in Minnesota.

Following the bank merger, certain management responsibil-

ities were realigned within the organization. Management report-

ing was revised to reflect the charter merger and the resulting

changes in responsibilities. Banking, leasing and equipment

In addition, TCF operates a bank holding company (“parent com-

pany”) that provides data processing, bank operations and other

professional services to the operating segments.

TCF evaluates performance and allocates resources based on

the segments’ net income. The segments follow generally accepted

accounting principles as described in the Summary of Significant

Accounting Policies. TCF generally accounts for intersegment sales

and transfers at cost. Each segment is managed separately with its

own president, who reports directly to TCF’s chief operating deci-

sion maker.

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, bor-

rowers 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.

Selected Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)

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, 2000 and 1999, 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, 2000. 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 auditing

standards  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of

America. Those standards require that we plan and per-

form  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about

whether the financial statements are free of material mis-

statement. 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, 2000 and 1999, and the

results of their operations and their cash flows for each of

the years in the three-year period ended December 31,

2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally

accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in note 16 to the consolidated financial

statements, the Company adopted the provisions of the

Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of

Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for

Stock-Based Compensation, as of January 1, 2000.
