DEAR

SHAREHOLDERS

TCF had another great year. We earned a record

$207.3 million in 2001, our 11th consecutive year

of record operating earnings. Our diluted earnings

per share increased 15 percent to $2.70. Return on

average assets (ROA) was 1.79 percent, and our return

on average realized common equity (RORE) was 23.18

percent. On a cash basis (the measure that will be used

under generally accepted accounting principles starting

next year), TCF earned $2.80 per common share, a

return on average assets of 1.86 percent and a return

on average realized common equity of 24.03 percent.

TCF’s 2001 financial results were highlighted by

solid top-line revenue growth, good credit quality,

and leasing credits), increased POWER LIABILITIES®

Growth in top-line revenue results from the increase

our total to over 1,249,000 accounts. We have a 78

percent debit card penetration rate, one of the highest

in the country, and we are now the 13th largest VISA®

debit card issuer in the United States with 1.2 million

debit cards outstanding.

not believe in the old 80/20 rule, which suggests that

banks earn 80 percent of their profits from the wealth-

POWER ASSETS AND POWER LIABILITIES Despite a year of economic

uncertainty, economic slowdown and rate reductions,

TCF enjoyed substantial growth in our Power Assets,

up $638 million for the year, a 13 percent increase

from year-end 2000. Commercial real estate lending

2001, while commercial lending and leasing also had

a good year. We increased our checking account

balances by over $332 million for the year, an increase

of 15 percent. Higher-cost certificates of deposits

decreased by $485.4 million during the year as TCF

declined to pay rates above our institutional borrowing

costs in the falling rate environment.

CREDIT QUALITY Our credit quality remained strong in

2001. Net charge-offs were $12.5 million in 2001,

only .15 percent of average loans and leases. We

provided $20.9 million for credit losses in 2001 and,

as a result, we increased our loan loss reserves by $8.4

million. Delinquency and non-performing assets were

at very low levels. Good credit quality is related not

only to the type of loans on the balance sheet, but also

the type of funding. TCF’s very profitable and growing

deposit function allows us to operate our loan portfolio

with relatively low credit risk.

DE NOVO BRANCH EXPANSION TCF believes in a de novo style

of expansion. While de novo expansion is unusual in

today’s banking environment, most successful retailers

such as Wal-Mart,® Target,® and our supermarket part-

ners, Cub® Foods and Jewel-Osco,® grow through de

novo expansion. We opened 21 new supermarket

branches and 6 traditional branches in 2001. We have

opened 193 branches in the last four years, bringing

our overall branch network to 375. Many of these new

branches are now becoming profitable. The increasing

profits from past de novo expansion funds continued

expansion. What we really like about the de novo model

is that you can pick the places you want to go, determine

the pace that you want to expand and control the culture.

The cost of this expansion flows through the income

statement faster than the dilution created through

acquisition, but is ultimately more profitable. We

believe we can bring these branches to profitability

fast enough that de novo expansion is a better use of

our capital than paying the premiums of acquisition.

The internal rate of return on de novo expansion is

one of the “hurdle rates” we use to measure acquisi-

tions. Although we would not rule out an acquisition

in the future, currently we think that the de novo

strategy is best for us. We plan to open another 25 to

30 branches in 2002, and have plans for additional

de novo expansion in the years ahead.

INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES In addition to our de novo

banking strategy, innovative products and services

continue to add to our success. “Totally Free Checking”,

221

“Free Small Business Checking”, home equity loans,

debit cards, investment sales and, of course, super-

market branch banking have been our most successful

innovations. Over the last few years we have introduced

Leasing (our equipment leasing subsidiary), TCF

Express Coin ServiceSM (offering free self-service coin

counting to TCF customers), system-wide 7-day-a-

week banking, and the TCF Express Phone CardSM

(free long distance phone minutes for debit card use).

All of these innovations increase customer convenience

and generate new revenues.

SUPERMARKET BANKING TCF has the fourth largest super-

market branch system in the United States, with 234

supermarket branches. In 2001, supermarket deposits

totaled $1.2 billion, an increase of 13 percent. Our aver-

age interest rate on deposits in supermarket branches

is 1.23 percent. We continue to attract customers

through these convenient, full-service branches. Our

TCF competes against financial institutions that

resources. This is both good news and bad news. The

(Millions of Dollars)

$305

$88

consolidation that we’ve seen in the banking industry

has in many cases created huge, unwieldy organizations

that cannot react quickly to changing competition.

On the other hand, when you walk with elephants,

you sometimes get stepped on.

We are competing in an industry that in many cases

is still in a consolidation cost-take-out mode, a strategy

that over time has proven to decrease customer service

and slow down revenue growth. However, we have

recently seen some banks come to realize the value of

97

98

99

00

01

top-line revenue growth and core earnings, and we

believe they may become more competitive in the

8

future. In order to succeed TCF must move faster,

create, design and implement innovative and cus-

tomized products, and give great convenient service.

We must invest for the future, find and nurture good

management and staff, and grow by taking reasonable

and measured risks in the process.

TCF has been very successful over the past ten years

of extensive change in the banking industry, and in

a strong U.S. economy. We are now in an economic

slowdown. Many banks are reporting “restructuring

charges” resulting from increased loan charge-offs

or other losses. We believe that we are more insulated

than most of the industry, but we are not immune. 

I think it is appropriate to mention here what we

consider to be the major risks to our continued success.

First is the success of our de novo branch expansion.

We are relying on the continued, long-term success

of branch banking. Second, TCF, like all banks, is

subject to the effects of any economic downturn. In

particular, a significant decline in home values in our

markets could have a negative effect on our results.

A bad economy can create increased loan losses. Deposit

change is a risk. Additionally, rising and falling interest

rates could affect our results. Legal, regulatory and

tax issues are always a risk.

Over the long term, the success and viability of our

supermarket partners is important to TCF. We con-

tinue to work closely with our partners to optimize our

businesses and to be aware of and address any potential

risks. New competitors, many of whom have significantly

more resources than TCF, are entering the financial

services business. We must remain aware of these

competitors and be ready to address their challenges.

None of these risks are new. Our consistent results

have proven that we have managed these risks in the

past and we believe that we are adequately prepared

to manage them in the future. Our philosophy at TCF

INNOVATIONS

Fostering the development of innovative products and services is an integral part of TCF’s culture. We actively hire, cultivate and recog-

nize innovators in our organization. As an ongoing part of our business, we solicit ideas from all areas of the company. Every idea is

evaluated and the best are selected for implementation. These innovations run the gamut from developing a new product, to enhancing

a service, streamlining an operational process, or creating a unique marketing message. As these innovations are implemented and

become successful, more ideas are generated and new innovations developed. At TCF, we attribute our constant stream of new

innovations to the principle that “one thing leads to another”.

In keeping with the TCF “Leader In Convenience Banking” philosophy, we began offering Sunday banking hours in most traditional

branches during 2001. TCF was a pioneer in offering Sunday banking hours in supermarket branches in 1988, and has offered extended

hours and Sunday banking in some traditional branches since 1997. Enthusiastic customer response motivated TCF to extend Sunday

hours to most of our 375-branch network. Adding Sunday hours is a unique strategy that gives consumers the opportunity to do

banking on a day when most other banks are closed.

One of the cornerstones of TCF’s success in retail banking has been our ability to offer the best checking accounts available and

the most convenient and customer-friendly banking options. Our strong commitment to developing tech-

nology to enhance productivity, customer service and new products supports these efforts. TCF Totally Free

OnlineSM Banking is an excellent illustration of how we combine these two strategies. Developed in response

to customer requests, TCF Totally Free Online combines a no-fee, easy-to-use banking service with TCF’s

popular checking account products. With TCF Totally Free Online, we are providing exactly the services our

customers asked for, at zero cost to them. Today, over 100,000 TCF customers use our online banking system.

Also launched in 2001 was TCF Express Trade,SM TCF’s convenient, low-cost, discount brokerage, repre-

senting another natural addition to our convenience services. A TCF Express Trade account allows customers

to buy and sell stocks, bonds, load and no-load mutual funds, and options by placing trades over the phone

with a broker or directly online. Accounts can be opened at any of TCF’s 375 branches, or by telephone, and

many services are available in branches, via telephone or online.

One of TCF’s most successful 2001 innovations combined existing TCF products with a new strategy to

target a previously underserved market. TCF’s new Small Business Banking Group is a dedicated team of

small business bankers positioned at strategic branch locations to serve small business customers. Our

Customers and non-customers enjoy the convenience of using TCF Express Coin ServiceSM coin counters. These colorful, self-service coin counting machines are located in many 

12

TCF branches. We plan to have Express Coin Counters in all available branches by mid 2002.

One of TCF’s most innovative marketing

campaigns in 2001 generated both 

local and national media coverage. In a

unique and eye-catching campaign, dozens

freeways of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

primary small business product, “Free Small Business Checking,” provides the small business owner with an easy-to-use, economical

checking account along with a free Express Teller Business Check Card. Our bankers offer one-on-one, personal service, and through-

out 2001 we added a number of relationship-based products such as business and home equity loans, deposit and insurance products

to better serve this underserved market. And, consistent with our retail approach, our convenient branch network, ATMs, automated

phone system, and online banking are all available to our small business customers.

TCF’s Small Business Banking Group was implemented in our Minnesota market and our customer base has grown rapidly. We believe

that TCF’s Small Business Banking Group is an excellent example of the innovative spirit at TCF. We will expand this effort in Minnesota

and roll it out to our other banking states in 2002.

Sometimes the best innovations revolve around the simplest ideas. This is the case with one of TCF’s most popular new products. TCF

Express Coin ServiceSM is a self-service coin counting machine located in branches and available to both customers and non-customers.

The service is available free of charge to customers and for a fee to non-customers. TCF customers appreciate the convenience of hav-

ing coins counted free of charge at their convenience, and we believe that many non-customers will see the value of this and other TCF

convenience services and become TCF customers. TCF plans to have TCF Express Coin Service coin counters in most branches by mid 2002.

TCF’s culture of innovation is flourishing; other examples in 2001 are TCF Michigan’s “M Card” campus card banking program with the

University of Michigan, “Chicago Bears Checking,” offered in partnership  with the Chicago Bears football team and, in the face of record

refinancing, a unique and highly effective targeted marketing campaign for home equity loans. The double-phone minutes loyalty pro-

gram offered through our popular TCF Express Phone CardSM continued to increase visibility and usage of the TCF Express Card.

Innovations must be a company-wide spirit, nurtured every day, to be successful. We will continue to foster the innovative spirit

at TCF in 2002 and beyond.

TCF’S POWER BUSINESSES:

POWER ASSETS® AND POWER LIABILITIES®

In 2001, Power Assets and Power Liabilities, TCF’s Power Businesses, continued to drive top-line revenues and earnings growth for the

company. We define Power Assets as higher-yielding commercial loans and leases, and our consumer home equity loans. Power Liabilities

include checking, savings, money market, and certificate of deposit accounts. Although Power Assets and Power Liabilities comprise

less than 60 percent of TCF’s balance sheet, in 2001 they contributed over 75 percent to net income.

One of the main factors in producing greater returns (profits) is to increase net interest margin. In 2001 TCF was able to increase its

net interest margin from 4.35% to 4.51%. We attribute some of this increase to 2001’s 11 interest rate reductions. However, the great-

est impact came from the change in the mix of our balance sheet in both Power Assets and Power Liabilities.

Power Liabilities remains the single largest driving force behind TCF’s top-line revenue growth. In 2001, our 375-branch network

added a record 117,900 checking accounts, and we now have over 1,249,000 accounts – more than many of our larger competitors.

We use the checking account as the first point of contact with the customer and then look for opportunities to cross-sell additional

products and services. To facilitate this effort, we continually look to develop innovative new products; for example, in 2001 TCF devel-

oped several new money market products to offer our customers an even greater

range of deposit product options. The TCF Express Card, introduced in 1997,

Power Liabilities at year-end 2001 totaled $7.1 billion. Increasing this profitable,

$3,302

low interest-cost deposit base will continue to allow us to underwrite our Power

Assets without taking inappropriate credit risks. We intend to continue our suc-

cessful Power Liabilities growth strategies throughout 2002.

Power Asset growth in consumer home equity loans, commercial loans, and

leasing and equipment finance all started strong in 2001. However, with the

weakness in the slowing economy, our commercial loans and leasing portfo-

lio originations slowed as the year progressed. This was not the case, however,

for commercial real estate and especially for consumer home equity loans.

Consumer home equity loans is TCF’s largest Power Asset category. In 2001,

consumer loans, at $2.5 billion, had originations of $1.6 billion and increased

of the top 50 banks in the country.

Also, in the face of the almost full-year refinance boom in 2001, TCF adopted

a proactive strategy that proved especially successful in retaining our customers.

First, we identified loan customers with high potential for refinancing their loans,

then contacted them proactively and, in many cases, persuaded them to refinance

with one of TCF’s loan products. Throughout 2001 we continued to place additional

lenders in our growing supermarket branch network, in order to make the loan

process even more convenient for our customers.

TCF’s Commercial Real Estate Group also had a strong 2001, increasing outstandings by $250.6 million. Our commercial real estate

portfolio remains concentrated in apartment and office buildings but does contain some exposure to the weakened hotel industry; the

portfolio has good credit quality and delinquencies of only .03 percent at year end.

During 2001 TCF’s leasing and equipment portfolio did exhibit some stress, primarily in the truck and trailer segment. This caused

our delinquencies, non-accruals and charge-offs, to increase over the year. Our net charge-offs of 1.0 percent of average outstand-

ings for 2001 and delinquencies of 1.84 percent at year-end 2001 are well within industry averages.

Power Assets and Power Liabilities remain the foundation of TCF’s top-line revenue growth. As we continue to replace borrowings

with Power Liabilities and residential mortgages, and mortgage-backed securities with Power Assets, our core earnings and net interest

margin should continue to improve.

Consumer lending has been the most powerful of our Power Assets, with more than $2.5 billion 

in outstandings and a charge-off rate that has averaged less than 20 basis points over the last five years.

DE NOVO EXPANSION

Michigan’s beautiful new Dixie Highway traditional branch is one of the latest in our de novo expansion strategy. TCF believes that de novo expansion is still the best

way to grow our business. We plan to open 10 to 15 new traditional branches in 2002.

TCF believes that de novo expansion is the most effective way to grow our business. De novo expansion has been the primary driver of

the increased profits and solid growth in our retail operations. Since 1997, TCF has added 193 locations to our convenient branch network.

Many of these branches have now reached profitability and their increased contribution has allowed us to continue our de novo expan-

sion. This conveyor belt of growing profitability will pay for the de novo expansion that we have planned for the future. We are committed

to providing our customers with more convenient banking locations and will continue to do so in 2002 by adding 25 to 30 branches.

Supermarket banking remains a key component in TCF’s de novo expansion efforts; we have the fourth largest supermarket branch

network in the country. Our strong partnerships with Jewel-Osco® and Cub® Foods continue to provide excellent expansion opportuni-

ties. We opened 21 supermarket branches in 2001 and plan to open approximately 15 more in 2002. TCF’s consistent track record of

success in supermarket banking is built on our strong sales culture, coupled with our convenience-based products and services. We

have chosen supermarket partners that appreciate the value of having a bank in the store and work with us to nurture the relation-

ship. Most importantly, TCF management is deeply committed to and focused on our supermarket banking franchise.

As the opportunities for expansion in supermarket branches have slowed down, the year 2002 marks an era of new opportunity for

TCF to add new traditional, stand-alone branches. Several of our markets, especially Detroit and Colorado, present excellent oppor-

tunities and we believe our expansion strategy will work well in these areas. We plan to add 10 to 15 traditional branches across our

markets in 2002.

TCF is committed to being the most convenient bank in the markets we serve. We will continue to look for de novo expansion oppor-

tunities throughout 2002 and beyond.

16

CONVENIENCE

TCF has proven that we are “The Leader In Convenience Banking” in the markets we serve. In fact, many of our competitors have

observed our strategies for providing convenience-based products and services over the years and now have begun to imitate them.

“Totally Free Checking” is an excellent example – TCF has offered it since 1986, when it was a unique concept that immediately became

enormously successful. Although there are now various versions of free checking in the marketplace, TCF still has the best suite of

convenience products and services available – and our Totally Free Checking package is still the best.

One of the foundations of our products and services philosophy is that TCF believes that we must listen to our customers and pro-

vide convenience in the way that they define it. Our customers bank with us at their convenience, whether it is during extended hours

at our traditional or supermarket branches, or via our Automated Phone System, our extensive network of TCF EXPRESS TELLERSM ATMs,

or online at www.tcfexpress.com. In 2001 we implemented several new and innovative products and services: Sunday banking hours

in traditional branches, TCF Totally Free OnlineSM Banking, TCF Express Coin Service,SM and TCF Express TradeSM online discount brokerage.

Sunday hours in traditional branch locations is a natural extension of TCF’s convenience branch strategy; it allows us to offer our

customers a wider choice of banking locations on a day when most banks are closed. TCF was a pioneer in offering Sunday banking hours

in supermarket branches in 1988 and has offered Sunday banking in some traditional branches since 1997. Enthusiastic customer

response motivated us to extend Sunday hours to most of our 375-branch network during 2001.

TCF Totally Free Online Banking is another customer-driven convenience service. Not only is it free to any TCF checking account cus-

tomer, it’s also quick and easy to sign up for and to use the service. TCF Express Coin Service provides self-service coin-counting;

the customer simply deposits the coins into the counter and takes the receipt to the teller to make a deposit or obtain cash. Non-

customers pay a small fee for the service – another reason for them to open a TCF checking account. TCF Express Trade online is another

service our customers asked for; with it they can easily and securely buy or sell stock online at a very competitive cost.

As both the world and our markets change, TCF will continue to develop innovative new products and services that our customers

want. We are truly “The Leader In Convenience Banking.”

TCF has long been a pioneer in offering customers seven-day-a-week banking with extended hours in supermarket

branches, and Saturday hours in traditional branches. Enthusiastic customer response led us to expand to Sunday

hours in most traditional branches during 2001.

17

GEOGRAPHIC STRUCTURE

TCF’s proven expertise in providing campus card programs, along with our unique product line and branch presence, allowed us the opportunity to partner with the 

University of Michigan to provide students, faculty and staff with the “M Card.” TCF is now recognized as a premier provider of innovative campus card banking services.

One of TCF’s most important assets is its management bench strength and depth. TCF is organized geographically and by function and

we believe strongly that local management teams make the best decisions regarding local issues. Each of our bank management teams

is responsible for local business decisions, business development initiatives, customer relations, and community involvement. Managers

are given an incentive to achieve specific goals in many of these areas.

TCF’s Minnesota franchise has been in business for 78 years and has been in many ways the bellwether bank of the organization.

TCF Minnesota continues to focus on growth in higher-yielding consumer and commercial loans as well as increasing and fostering the

development of our lower interest-cost checking account base. In 2001, TCF Minnesota introduced its Small Business Banking Group

to bring TCF’s convenience-based products and services to this underserved market. We will continue to expand in Minnesota by adding

branches in growing areas and developing innovative new products.

The Lakeshore region in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana is TCF’s fastest growing franchise, and has the largest branch network and

employee base in our markets. Lakeshore now has supermarket branches in almost all existing Jewel-Osco® stores and will continue

to expand as Jewel builds new stores. This year, TCF added two important branch locations in the Loop area of downtown Chicago. The

Power Liabilities team is going strong; Lakeshore’s focus now turns to developing resources in the Power Assets area, by adding expe-

rienced new lenders in the commercial real estate and consumer lending areas. TCF Lakeshore is well positioned for growth.

Michigan represents one of TCF’s best opportunities for future growth, as there are many areas of Detroit in which we do not have a

presence. We are actively acquiring land for new traditional branches and plan to open approximately five branches in 2002. This year,

TCF Michigan was proud to forge a partnership with the University of Michigan to offer the “M Card” – a multi-functional ID and bank-

ing card for University of Michigan students, faculty and staff.

Our Colorado franchise in Denver and Colorado Springs also represents an area of great potential for TCF’s future expansion. TCF

Colorado now has 12 supermarket branches. TCF Colorado is also aggressively acquiring land to build additional traditional branches

and will build three or four branches in 2002. In addition, we are focused on increasing our emerging consumer lending base by adding

experienced lenders to develop this business. We are confident that TCF’s strategy of offering convenience products and services will

thrive in this market, as it has in other states.

18

TCF: THE CUSTOMER FIRST

TCF’s goal is to always place the customer first, to provide extraordinary service throughout all of our delivery channels and businesses

– every day. We know that giving great customer service will help us attract and retain more customers – and make TCF an even more

convenient place to bank. Rewarding our employees for giving great customer service is important to us – we know companies that have

high employee satisfaction also enjoy higher levels of customer satisfaction and shareholder returns.

In 2001, we launched a service program to formally recognize and reward employees who deliver great service to our customers.

This program, “The Customer First,” is intended for all TCF employees, from those in our retail branches to those in our support functions.

Every TCF employee can make the service experience great for our customers, every day!

The Customer First program is based on our service standards – five simple and easy to remember steps to insure that we treat our

customers just as we would like to be treated:

• Give each customer undivided attention.

• Follow up on all customer requests – and quickly.

• Resolve customer issues promptly.

• Maintain a positive attitude and positive behavior.

• Thank the customer for their business.

To further emphasize the importance of putting the customer first, TCF employees receive ongoing communication, training, recog-

nition and rewards for meeting or exceeding these standards. We want them to know exactly what’s expected of them and how to

provide great service.

At TCF, we’re a results-oriented company, we’re “The Leader In Convenience Banking” in America and we believe in the power of our

employees. And above all, we put “The Customer First”.

The Customer First is not just a program – but a culture based on our firm, consistent commitment to providing

great customer service. When we put the customer first, our customers are satisfied and shareholder returns are high.

Consolidated Income Statement Analysis

N E T   I N T E R E S T   I N C O M E   –   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), repre-

sented 56.4% of TCF’s revenue in 2001. Net interest income divided

by average interest-earning assets is referred to as the net interest mar-

gin, expressed as a percentage. Net interest income and net interest mar-

gin are affected by changes in interest rates, loan pricing strategies and

competitive conditions, the volume and the mix of interest-earning assets

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

Net interest income was $481.2 million for the year ended December

Achieving net interest margin growth is dependent on TCF’s ability

In 2001, TCF’s net interest income increased $42.7 million, or

to generate higher-yielding assets and lower cost retail deposits. If vari-

9.7%, and total average interest-earning assets increased by $592.9

able index rates (e.g., prime) were to decline, TCF may experience

million, or 5.9%, compared with 2000 levels. TCF’s net interest

compression of its net interest margin depending on the timing and

income improved by $46 million due to volume changes and decreased

amount of any reductions, as it is possible that interest rates paid on

$3.3 million due to rate changes. The increases in net interest income

retail deposits will not decline as quickly, or to the same extent, as the

and net interest margin are primarily due to the growth in higher yield-

decline in the yield on interest-rate-sensitive assets such as home equity

ing commercial and consumer loans and leasing and equipment finance

loans. Competition for checking, savings and money market deposits,

along with the strong growth in low-cost checking, savings and money

important sources of lower cost funds for TCF, is intense. TCF may

market deposits, as well as the decrease in interest rates and interest paid

also experience compression in its net interest margin if the rates paid

on certificates and borrowings. These favorable trends were partially

on deposits increase, or as a result of new pricing strategies and lower

million due to a lower cost of funds.

increase in net interest income due to volume changes reflects the

increase in total average interest-earning assets and an increase in the

balance of non-interest bearing deposits. The decrease in net interest

income due to rate changes reflects the impact of declining rates on

interest earning assets greater than the impact of declining rates on

interest bearing liabilities.

In 2000, TCF’s net interest income increased $14.3 million, or

3.4%, and total average interest-earning assets increased by $578.7 mil-

lion, or 6.1%, compared with 1999 levels. TCF’s net interest income

improved by $32.8 million due to volume changes and decreased

$18.4 million due to rate changes. The favorable impact of the growth

in consumer lending volumes and rates, leasing and equipment

finance volumes, and commercial real estate volumes and rates was

partially offset by decreased consumer finance automobile and secu-

rities available for sale volumes and increased borrowings volumes.

Interest income increased $74.6 million in 2000, reflecting increases

of $55.2 million due to volume and $19.4 million due to rate changes.

Interest expense increased $60.3 million in 2000, reflecting increases

of $37.8 million due to a higher cost of funds and $22.4 million due

to volume. The increase in net interest income due to volume changes

reflects the increase in total average interest-earning assets and an

increase in the balance of non-interest bearing deposits. The decrease

in net interest income due to rate changes reflects a higher cost of funds.

In 1999, TCF’s net interest income decreased $1.5 million, or

.4%, and total average interest-earning assets increased by $692 mil-

lion, or 7.9%, compared with 1998 levels. TCF’s net interest income

improved by $15.5 million due to volume changes. The increase in

P R O V I S I O N   F O R   C R E D I T   L O S S E S   –   TCF provided $20.9
million for credit losses in 2001, compared with $14.8 million in

2000 and $16.9 million in 1999. Net loan and lease charge-offs were

$12.5 million, or .15% of average loans and leases, in 2001, com-

pared with $3.9 million, or .05%, in 2000 and $26.4 million, or

.35% of average loans and leases in 1999. The increase in provisions

and net loan and lease charge-offs from 2000 reflects the impact of

the growth in commercial loan and leasing and equipment finance

portfolios coupled with increased charge-offs in the leasing and equip-

ment finance portfolio. Leasing and equipment finance net charge-

offs were $9.1 million, or 1% of related average loans and leases dur-

ing 2001, compared with $2.2 million, or .33% in 2000 and $1.6

million, or .39% of related average loans and leases in 1999. The pro-

vision for credit losses is calculated as part of the determination of the

allowance for loan and lease losses. The determination of the allowance

for loan and lease losses and the related provision for credit losses is

a critical accounting policy which involves a number of factors such as

net charge-offs, delinquencies in the loan and lease portfolio, gen-

eral economic conditions and management’s assessment of credit risk

in the current loan and lease portfolio. The allowance for loan and

lease losses totaled $75 million at December 31, 2001, compared with

$66.7 million at December 31, 2000, and was 144% of non-accrual

loans and leases. See “Financial Condition – Allowance for Loan and

Lease Losses.”

compared with $10.4 million, or 6.8%, at December 31, 2000.

Also, non-accrual loans and leases in the truck and trailer segment

of the leasing and equipment finance portfolio were $6.9 million

at December 31, 2001, compared with $4.7 million at December

31, 2000. The increase in delinquencies and non-accrual loans

and leases in the truck and trailer  segment reflects the impact of

higher fuel and insurance costs, driver shortages and the slowdown

in freight activity caused by the slowing economy. Management con-

tinues to closely monitor the truck and trailer portfolio given the

current economic environment. See “Loans and Leases.”

In addition to the non-accrual loans and leases, there were $71.9

million of loans and leases at December 31, 2001 for which man-

agement 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 doubt-

ful, or were to customers that currently are experiencing financial

difficulties or that management believes may experience financial

difficulties in the future. This compares with $19.8 million of loans

and leases at December 31, 2000. The increase in these classified

assets is generally due to the slowing economy and results from the

periodic review process and risk rating performed by TCF. Although

these loans and leases are generally secured by commercial real estate

or other corporate assets, they may be subject to future modifications

of their terms or may become non-performing.

L I Q U I D I T Y   M A N A G E M E N T   –   TCF manages its liquidity posi-
tion 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 repayments, pro-

ceeds from the discounting of leases and borrowings. 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 INFOR-

MATION.” Borrowings may be used to compensate for reductions

in normal sources of funds, such as deposit inflows at less than pro-

jected 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. At December 31, 2001, TCF had

over $2.3 billion in unused capacity under these funding sources,

which could be used to meet future liquidity needs. See “Borrowings.”

market accounts will not significantly change or be repriced in the event of a general change in interest rates. At December 31, 2000, 8% of checking deposits, 34% of

net of related deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other

comprehensive income (loss), which is a separate component of stock-

holders’ 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 secu-

rities available for sale that are considered other than temporary are

recorded in noninterest income as a loss on securities available for sale.

Lease residual values are reviewed on an ongoing basis and any down-

ward 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 rec-

ognized at lease inception by recording lease revenue net of the lease

cost. Lease revenue consists of the present value of the future mini-

mum lease payments discounted at the rate implicit in the lease. Lease

cost consists of the leased equipment’s book value, less the present

value of its residual. The investment in a leveraged lease is the sum

of all lease payments (less nonrecourse debt payments) plus estimated

At December 31, 2001, $200 million of securities sold under repurchase agreements with an interest rate of 6.27% maturing in 2005 were

collateralized by mortgage-backed securities having a carrying value of $213.3 million and a market value of $214.7 million. These borrowings

are callable quarterly by the counterparty beginning in the third quarter of 2002.

For certain equipment leases, TCF utilizes its lease rentals and underlying equipment as collateral to borrow from other financial institutions

at fixed rates on a non-recourse basis. In the event of a default by the customer in non-recourse financings, the other financial institution

has a first lien on the underlying leased equipment with no further recourse against TCF.

On July 1, 2001, TCF exercised its right of redemption on the $28.8 million of 9.50% senior subordinated debentures at par plus accrued

earnings to the date of redemption in accordance with redemption provisions of the debentures.

59

Included in FHLB advances at December 31, 2001 are $1.3 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 rate exceeded the contract rates on $5.5 million of long-term 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, 2001 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

14 Stockholders’ Equity

R E S T R I C T E D   R E T A I N E D   E A R N I N G S   –   Retained earnings at
December 31, 2001 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 pay-

ment 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.

In general, TCF’s subsidiary banks may not declare or pay a div-

idend to TCF in excess of 100% of their net profits for that year com-

bined 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.

S H A R E H O L D E R   R I G H T S   P L A N   –   TCF’s preferred share pur-
chase 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. When exercisable, each right will entitle the holder to buy one

one-hundredth of a share of a new series of junior participating pre-

ferred stock at a price of $100. 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. TCF’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is generally

entitled to redeem the rights at one cent per right at any time before

they become exercisable. The rights will expire on June 9, 2009, if

not previously redeemed or exercised.

P L A N S   –   TCF has deferred compensation plans that allow eligible
executives, senior officers and certain other employees to defer pay-

ment of up to 100% of their base salary and bonus as well as grants of

restricted stock. There are no company contributions to these plans,

other than payment of administrative expenses. The amounts deferred

are invested in TCF stock or other publicly traded stocks and bonds.

At December 31, 2001 the assets in the plans totaled $200.4 million

and included $193.6 million invested in TCF common stock. The cost

of TCF common stock held by TCF’s deferred compensation plans is

The Pension Plan’s assets consist primarily of listed stocks. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Pension Plan’s assets included TCF com-

mon stock with a market value of $11.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

For active participants of the Postretirement Plan, a 6.8% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was

assumed for 2002. 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.

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:

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. At December 31, 2001 these commit-

ments totaled $1.6 billion and consisted of consumer commitments

of $955.7 million, commercial commitments of $494.5 million,

leasing and equipment financing commitments of $71.6 million and

other commitments of $32.5 million. At December 31, 2000 these

commitments totaled $1.2 billion and consisted of consumer com-

mitments of $706.9 million, commercial commitments of $411.3

million, leasing and equipment finance commitments of $71.6 mil-

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.

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 signifi-

cant 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 and

accrued interest payable and receivable 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 mar-

ket 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 fair value disclosures for its remaining financial instru-

ments, all of which are issued or held for purposes other than trading.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

TCF Financial Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of finan-

cial condition of TCF Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of

December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated state-

ments of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the

years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001. These con-

solidated 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 perform the audit to obtain reasonable assur-

ance 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 as of December 31, 2001

and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for

each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001,

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.
