The title “Investing in the Future” and the artwork in our 2002
annual report reflect TCF’s strategy of investing in our franchise.
We plant the seeds of growth by investing in new banking facilities
and convenient products and services. These investments may
reduce our profits in the short term, but they are proven providers
of long-term growth and profitability. Like an orchard, TCF is
subject to changes in the environment. We use our experience to
buffer elements such as a challenging business climate, unfriendly
economy and changing laws and regulations. We have confidence
in our proven strategies and the patience to continue investing for
the future. Like apple trees in an orchard, we expect our invest-
ments to bear fruit for many, many years.

2002 Annual Report _ Investing in the Future

D E A R   S H A R E H O L D E R S ,

TCF had another outstanding year. We earned a record $232.9 million

in 2002, our 12th consecutive year of record results. Our diluted earn-

ings per share increased 17 percent to $3.15. Return on average assets

(ROA) was 2.01 percent, and our return on average realized common

equity (ROE) was 25.82 percent. These impressive numbers rank us in

the top 10 percent of the 50 largest banks in the country.

Our stock closed at $43.69 per share at December 31, 2002, down

from $47.98 per share at year-end 2001. Our annualized total return to

investors over the past ten years was almost 23 percent. We are proud that

TCF now ranks second in ten-year compounded dividend growth rate

among the top 50 banks in the country. Our dividend increased from $1.00

per share in 2001 to $1.15 in 2002. Our dividend in 2003 will be $1.30. 

TCF’s 2002 financial results were highlighted by solid top-line rev-

enue growth, good credit quality, increased POWER ASSETS® (consumer,

commercial and leasing credits), increased POWER LIABILITIES® (core

deposits) and moderate non-interest expense growth. At TCF, we put

the customer first; we believe in convenient banking for our customers,

de novo expansion, new product development, and maintaining focus

on core banking activities. This is a proven strategy that has produced

strong and consistently improving results for us in the past and we believe

will continue to work well for us in the future.

Top-Line Revenue Top-line revenue is an important number for us. Top-

line revenue, which consists of net interest income and fee income, was

up $56 million for 2002, an increase of seven percent. TCF is one of the

page 2

2002 Annual Report _ Investing in the Future

few banks that has shown consistent top-line revenue growth, which

demonstrates that we are growing our core businesses, not just cutting

expenses as many of our competitors are doing. Growing businesses should

generate premium price-to-earnings ratios.

Growth in top-line revenue results from the increase of Power Assets

and Power Liabilities. Net interest income growth is driven by a changed

balance sheet. Expanding the number of fee income producing products

and services while growing the overall customer base fuels fee income

growth. TCF added over 89,000 new checking accounts in 2002, bring-

ing our total to over 1.3 million accounts. We have an 81 percent debit

card penetration rate, one of the highest in the country, and we are now

the 11th largest VISA® debit card issuer in the United States with 1.4 mil-

lion debit cards outstanding. 

TCF’s convenience strategy successfully attracts a large number of cus-

tomers who represent varied economic levels. Each of these customers

contributes incrementally to our profitability. We do not believe in the

old 80/20 rule, which suggests that banks earn 80 percent of their prof-

its from the wealthiest 20 percent of the customer base.

ing and consumer lending produced at record levels in 2002, while com-

mercial lending and leasing and equipment finance also had good years.

We increased our checking account balances by over $328 million for the

year, an increase of 13 percent. Higher-cost certificates of deposit decreased

by $401.5 million during the year as TCF generally declined to pay rates

above our institutional borrowing costs in the falling rate environment.

Credit Quality Our credit quality remained strong in 2002. Net charge-

offs were $20 million in 2002 or .25 percent of average loans and leases.

We provided $22 million for credit losses in 2002 and, as a result, we

increased our loan and lease loss reserves by $2 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. 

New Branch Expansion TCF believes in a de novo style of new branch

expansion and we continue to invest in this important strategy. Our new

branches are like seeds planted in an orchard. We plant them strategically,

tend to them carefully and patiently as they grow, and harvest the rewards

of our investment as they mature. While de novo expansion has been unusual

in the banking industry, most successful retailers such as Wal-Mart®, Target®,

and our supermarket partners, Cub® Foods and Jewel-Osco®, grow through

98

de novo expansion. This strategy has provided TCF an ever-growing cus-

tomer base with a low cost of funds. As of December 31, 2002, TCF had

$2.1 billion of non-interest bearing deposits.

We opened 15 new supermarket branches and 12 traditional branches

in 2002. We have opened 220 branches in the last five years, bringing

our overall branch network to 395. Many of these new branches are now

becoming profitable. The increasing profits from our past branch expan-

sion funds continued future new branch expansion. What we really like

about the de novo model is that you can pick the places you want to go,

determine the pace of expansion and control the culture.

The cost of this new branch expansion flows through the income state-

ment faster than the dilution created through acquisition, but is ultimately

more profitable. We believe we can bring these new branches to prof-

itability quickly enough that expansion is a better use of our capital than

paying the premiums of acquisition. The internal rate of return on expan-

sion is one of the “hurdle rates” we use to measure acquisitions. Although

we would not rule out an acquisition in the future, we believe the de novo

98

99

00

01

02

strategy is best for us right now. Given our current de novo expansion

opportunities, we would issue new shares for an acquisition grudgingly.

2002 Annual Report _ Investing in the Future

We plan to open another 24 branches in 2003, and have plans for even

more new branch expansion in the years ahead. As we build out the avail-

able supermarket sites, more of our expansion will be in traditional

branches in 2003 and in the future.

Innovative Products and Services In addition to our de novo branch

expansion strategy, innovative products and services continue to contribute

to our success. “Totally Free Checking,” “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 TCFExpress.com® (our online banking

service), TCF Express Trade (our securities brokerage service), TCF Leasing

(one of our equipment leasing subsidiaries), TCF Express CoinSM Service

(offering free self-service coin counting to TCF customers), system-wide

open seven days-a-week branch banking, and the TCF Express Phone CardSM

(free long-distance phone minutes for debit card use). TCF has success-

fully used innovation to increase profits and grow our customer base.

Supermarket Banking TCF has the fourth largest supermarket branch

system in the United States, with 244 supermarket branches. In 2002,

supermarket deposits totaled $1.5 billion, an increase of 25 percent over

the prior year. Our average interest rate on deposits in supermarket

branches is .90 percent. We continue to attract customers through these

convenient, full-service branches. Our supermarket branches added over

53,000 new checking accounts during 2002. As the supermarket branches

these branches totaled $160.2 million for the year (up 17 percent from

last year). We have consumer lenders in many of our supermarket branches

$11.1

and have proven to many doubters that you can make loans in these

branches. We now have over $369.4 million in consumer loans that were

originated in supermarket branches, up 21 percent from 2001.

Many of our competitors are reducing or eliminating their supermar-

ket branch networks. However, it is clear to us that we have a winning

$137

supermarket banking strategy and it is a major factor in making TCF the

$112

most convenient bank in our markets. We plan to open approximately six

new supermarket branches in 2003 and more in the future.

TCF competes against financial institutions that are, in many cases,

much larger and have far greater resources. This has both good and bad

ramifications. The consolidation that we’ve seen in the banking industry

$53

has in many cases created huge, lethargic 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 consol-

idation 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 top-line revenue growth and

core earnings, and we believe they may become more competitive in the

future. Several of our large competitors have announced plans for future

de novo branch expansion. In order to succeed, TCF must be swifter than

they are to create, design and implement innovative and customized prod-

ucts. We must continue to focus on giving great, convenient service. Our

basic philosophy of banking has not changed. We must continue planting

seeds for the future by finding and nurturing good management and staff,

and grow by taking reasonable and measured risks in the process.

TCF has been very successful over the past fifteen years of extensive

change in the banking industry, and in a strong U.S. economy. We are

still in an economic slowdown with very low interest rates. These very low

interest rates had a major impact on TCF in 2002. Low rates caused

increased prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities and accel-

erated the write-off of mortgage servicing rights. Many banks are report-

ing “restructuring charges” resulting from increased loan charge-offs or

other losses. We believe that we are more insulated from these risks than

most of the industry, but we are not immune.

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 val-

ues in our markets could have a negative effect on our results. A bad econ-

omy can create increased loan and lease losses. The third risk is our ability

to attract and retain new customers. Our overall growth is dependent on

$618

our ability to grow our checking accounts. Deposit losses (fraudulent

checks, etc.) have risen and combating them is a continuing challenge.

Technological change is a risk. Additionally, rising and falling interest

rates affect our results. Legal, regulatory and tax issues are always a risk

(the pending Visa® and Mastercard® debit card merchant lawsuit is a good

example of this legal risk). 

Over the long term, the success and viability of our supermarket part-

ners are important to TCF. If our partners sell or contract their stores,

we are at risk; though over time, as we build out our traditional branch

system, this risk is mitigated somewhat. We continue 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 the

challenges they present.

None of these risks are new. Our consistent results have proven that

we have managed these risks in the past and we believe we are adequately

prepared to manage them in the future. Our philosophy at TCF is to run

a highly profitable bank and to minimize risk. TCF does not utilize uncon-

solidated subsidiaries and has no exotic derivatives, foreign loans, bank

owned life insurance, etc. In our opinion, TCF’s accounting is conser-

vative. A careful reading of this Annual Report will tell you generally

everything about our company. We try to keep our financial reporting

simple, but as complete as possible. We have a lot to be proud of and

nothing to hide.

2002 Annual Report _ Investing in the Future

We continue to have a mutuality of interest with our shareholders. Our

senior management and board of directors own approximately 6.2 mil-

lion shares of TCF stock. Seventy-seven percent of our eligible employees

participate in TCF’s employee stock ownership plan, which at year-end

held over 4.1 million shares. Our stock plans for senior management

continue to be restricted stock grants based on long-term growth in earn-

ings per share. We are true owners as we face the downside risk of our

decisions as well as the upside potential. We remain very optimistic about

TCF’s future.

TCF repurchased 3.1 million shares (4 percent) of its stock in 2002

and a total of 21.7 million shares (23 percent) since the beginning of 1998.

While the number of shares we buy remains subject to the availability of

capital, we plan to continue repurchasing shares as long as TCF stock

remains our most attractive investment opportunity. We consider the

return from repurchasing TCF stock as another hurdle rate for acquisi-

tions. Potential changes in the taxability of dividends may change our

strategy on stock buybacks vs. dividends.

Again this year, we give special thanks to our hardworking, responsive

and dedicated Board of Directors. Our Board consists largely of entre-

preneurial business people who also own TCF stock. We appreciate their

continued guidance and support.

We also thank our outstanding team of employees who truly do put

the customer first every day. The ability, dedication and energy of our

employees are extraordinary.

Thank you for your continued support and investment in TCF.

TCF’s incentive programs are designed to educate employees about

the things that drive company performance and reward them for their

contributions in those areas. Unlike some of our competitors, we are

goal-driven and we reward for ultimate results, not just for activities

that may or may not directly drive performance. 

TCF has structured its incentive programs to meet three important cri-

teria. First, the objective must be measurable. This is facilitated by

our profit center reporting structure, which essentially “divides up the

bank” into measurable profit center units. Second,

the incentive program must be tightly managed –

service. In addition to rewarding employees for tangible performance,

we also recognize them for exhibiting the behaviors that create the

customer service culture known as TCF, The Customer First. 

In 2001, TCF implemented an employee service recognition initiative

that rewards employees for doing just that. The initial concept was

simple – provide employees with simple, basic customer service stan-

dards and behaviors, then immediately and consistently recognize

and reward those behaviors anytime, anywhere, as

they are observed by co-workers, supervisors and

Corporate Profile

TCF is a national financial holding company. Its principal sub-

sidiary,TCF National Bank, is headquartered in Minnesota and had

395 banking offices in Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,

Colorado and Indiana at December 31, 2002. Other affiliates pro-

vide leasing and equipment finance, mortgage banking, brokerage

and investment and insurance sales.

TCF provides convenient financial services through multiple

channels to customers located primarily in the Midwest. TCF has

developed products and services designed to meet the needs of all

consumers. The Company focuses on attracting and retaining cus-

tomers through service and convenience, including branches that are

open seven days a week and on most holidays, extensive full-service

supermarket branch and automated teller machine (“ATM”) net-

works, and telephone and Internet banking. TCF’s philosophy is to

generate top-line revenue growth (net interest income and fees and

other revenue) through business lines that emphasize higher yield-

ing assets and lower or no interest-cost deposits. The Company’s

growth strategies include new branch expansion and the development

of new products and services designed to build on its core businesses

and expand into complementary products and services through

emerging businesses and strategic initiatives.

TCF’s core businesses are comprised of mature traditional bank

branches, EXPRESS TELLER® ATMs, and commercial, consumer

and mortgage lending. TCF emphasizes the “Totally Free” checking

account as its anchor account, which provides opportunities to cross

sell other convenience products and services and generate additional

fee income. TCF’s strategy is to originate high credit quality, pri-

marily secured loans and earn profits through lower or no interest-

cost deposits. Commercial loans are generally made on local properties

or to local customers, and are virtually all secured. TCF’s largest core

lending business is its consumer home equity loan operation, which

offers fixed- and variable-rate closed-end loans and lines of credit

secured by residential real estate properties.

TCF’s emerging businesses and products are comprised of super-

market bank branches, including supermarket consumer lending,

leasing and equipment finance, VISA® debit cards, and Internet and

college campus banking. TCF’s most significant de novo strategy has

been its supermarket branch expansion. The Company opened its

TCF’s supermarket partners and TCF’s ability to maintain leases or

license agreements for its supermarket branch locations. TCF is sub-

ject to the risk, among others, that its license for a location or loca-

tions will terminate upon the sale or closure of that location or

locations by its supermarket partner. TCF entered the leasing busi-

ness through its 1997 acquisition of Winthrop Resources Corporation

(“Winthrop”), a leasing company that leases computers and other

equipment or software to companies nationwide. The Company

expanded its leasing operations in September 1999 through TCF

Leasing, Inc. (“TCF Leasing”), a de novo general leasing and equip-

ment finance leasing business. TCF’s leasing and equipment finance

businesses finance equipment in all 50 states. The Company’s VISA®

debit card program has also grown significantly since its inception in

1996. According to a September 30, 2002 statistical report issued

by VISA®, TCF, with approximately 1.4 million cards outstanding,

was the 11th largest VISA® debit card issuer in the United States, based

on the number of cards outstanding, and the 11th largest based on

sales volume of $732.1 million for the 2002 third quarter.

TCF’s strategic initiatives complement the Company’s core and

emerging businesses. TCF’s new products have been significant

contributors to the growth in fees and other revenues generated by

checking accounts and loan products. Currently, TCF’s strategic ini-

tiatives include continued investment in new branch expansion and

new loan and deposit products, including card products designed to

provide additional convenience to deposit and loan customers. The

Company operates a securities brokerage operation, TCF Express

Trade, and plans to continue to provide new insurance and invest-

ment products during the upcoming year. 

TCF does not utilize unconsolidated subsidiaries  or special pur-

pose entities to provide off-balance-sheet borrowings. The Company

does not use derivatives to manage its interest rate risk position.

TCF has not issued trust preferred or other quasi-equity instru-

ments. The Company does not report “pro forma earnings.” TCF

does not have foreign loans and has not purchased any bank owned

life insurance (BOLI). The Company adopted the fair value method

of accounting for stock compensation pursuant to Statement of

Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 “Accounting

for Stock-Based Compensation” in 2000. TCF has used stock

options as a form of employee compensation only to a limited extent,

and the number of stock options outstanding as a percentage of total

shares outstanding is less than one-half of 1%.

Results of Operations

Performance Summary TCF  reported  diluted  earnings  per
common share of $3.15 for 2002, compared with $2.70 for 2001
and $2.35 for 2000. Net income was $232.9 million for 2002, up
from $207.3 million for 2001 and $186.2 million for 2000. The
2002 results included a $1.3 million after-tax gain on sale of a branch,
or 2 cents per common share, compared with a $2.1 million after-
tax gain on sale of a branch, or 3 cents per common share in 2001
and a $7.9 million after-tax gain on sales six of branches, or 10 cents
per common share in 2000. Return on average assets was 2.01% in
2002, compared with 1.79% in 2001 and 1.72% in 2000. Return
on average realized common equity was 25.82% in 2002, compared
with 23.18% in 2001 and 21.53% in 2000. In 2002, new account-
ing rules under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
eliminated the amortization of goodwill. Goodwill amortization
reduced net income by $7.6 million and $7.5 million, or 10 cents and
9 cents per diluted common share in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Operating Segment Results Banking, comprised of deposits and
investment products, commercial banking, small business banking,
consumer lending, residential lending and treasury services, reported
net income of $201.1 million for 2002, up 11.4% from $180.5 mil-
lion in 2001. Banking net interest income for 2002 was $435.9 mil-
lion, compared with $423 million for 2001. The provision for credit
losses totaled $12.8 million in 2002, up from $7.4 million in 2001.
The increase in provision for credit losses is primarily a result of
increased net charge-offs and growth in the loan portfolio. Non-
interest income (excluding gains on sales of branches and securities
available for sale) totaled $345.5 million, up 11.7% from $309.3
million in 2001. This improvement was driven by increased fees, ser-
vice charges and debit card and ATM revenues generated by TCF’s
expanding branch network and customer base. Non-interest expense
(excluding the amortization of goodwill) totaled $470.8 million,
up 8.9% from $432.3 million in 2001. The increase was primarily
due to the costs associated with new branch expansion, and the addi-
tion of lenders and sales representatives in the banking operations.
Beginning in 1998, TCF significantly expanded its retail bank-
ing franchise and had 395 retail banking branches at December 31,
2002. Since January 1, 1998, TCF has opened 220 new branches,
of which 191 were supermarket branches. TCF continued expanding
its retail banking franchise by opening 27 new branches during 2002.
TCF anticipates opening 24 new branches during 2003 consisting
of 18 new traditional branches, including eight in Colorado, six in
Michigan and four in Illinois, and six new supermarket branches,
including four in Minnesota and two in Illinois, and plans to con-
tinue expanding in future years. In 2002, one Colorado super-
market branch was closed involuntarily when TCF’s supermarket
partner in Colorado sold a store and discontinued TCF’s license
agreement for this location. Subsequent to December 31, 2002,

TCF has been notified by its supermarket partners that seven addi-
tional supermarket branches will be closed involuntarily when TCF’s
supermarket partners in Michigan, Colorado and Wisconsin close
stores and discontinue TCF’s license agreements for these loca-
tions. At December 31, 2002, these seven branches had total
deposits of $36.3 million which will transfer to other TCF branches.
TCF is subject to the risk, among others, that in addition to the
seven branches mentioned above, its license for additional loca-
tions may be terminated in the future, upon the sale or closure of
a location by its supermarket partners.

Leasing And Equipment Finance, an operating segment comprised of
TCF’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Winthrop and TCF Leasing, pro-
vides a broad range of comprehensive lease and equipment finance
products. This operating segment reported net income of $27.5 mil-
lion for 2002, up 34.4% from $20.4 million in 2001. Net interest
income for 2002 was $41.4 million, up 4.9% from $39.4 million in
2001. The provision for credit losses for this operating segment totaled
$9.2 million in 2002, down from $13.5 million in 2001, primarily
as a result of decreased delinquencies and net charge-offs. Non-
interest income totaled $51.8 million in 2002, up 13.3% from $45.7
million in 2001, primarily due to high levels of sales-type lease trans-
actions. The volume of sales-type lease transactions and resulting 
revenues fluctuate from period to period based on customer-driven
factors not within the control of TCF. Non-interest expense (exclud-
ing the amortization of goodwill) totaled $41 million in 2002, up
6.8% from $38.4 million in 2001, primarily a result of the growth
experienced in TCF Leasing.

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 income of
$2.7 million for 2002, compared with $5.9 million for 2001. Non-
interest income totaled $8.3 million, down 46.1% from $15.4 mil-
lion in 2001. TCF’s mortgage banking operations funded $2.9 billion
in loans during 2002, up from $2.6 billion in 2001, primarily as a
result of a resurgence in refinancing activity driven by lower mort-
gage interest rates. Mortgage applications in process (mortgage
pipeline) decreased $74.7 million from December 31, 2001, to $532
million at December 31, 2002. The lower mortgage interest rates led
to sharply higher prepayments and assumed future prepayments in
TCF’s servicing portfolio and led to impairment and amortization
expense on mortgage servicing rights of $35.4 million for 2002, up
from $21 million during 2001. The increased amortization and
impairment were partially offset by the increased loan production
activity and the related increase in gains on sales of loans. Mortgage
Banking’s non-interest expense totaled $24.8 million for 2002, up
18.7% from $20.9 million for 2001. Contributing to the increase
in non-interest expense during 2002 were increased expenses result-
ing from higher levels of production and prepayment activity and
increased compensation.

Consolidated Income Statement Analysis

Net Interest Income Net interest income, which is the difference
between interest earned on loans and leases, securities available for
sale and other interest-earning assets (interest income), and interest
paid on deposits and borrowings (interest expense), represented
54.4% of TCF’s revenue in 2002. 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 pric-
ing 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 $499.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2002, compared with $481.2 million in 2001 and
$438.5 million in 2000. This represents an increase of 3.7% in
2002, compared with an increase of 9.7% in 2001 and an increase
of 3.4% in 2000. Total average interest-earning assets decreased .7%
in 2002, following increases of 5.9% in 2001 and 6.1% in 2000.
The net interest margin for 2002 was 4.71%, compared with 4.51%
in 2001 and 4.35% in 2000.

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

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

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

income  improved  by  $46  million  due  to  volume  changes  and

decreased $3.3 million due to rate changes. The increases in 2001,

in net interest income and net interest margin were primarily due to

the growth in higher yielding commercial and consumer loans and

leasing and equipment finance along with the strong growth in low-

cost checking, savings and money market deposits, as well as the

decrease in interest rates resulting in lower interest paid on certifi-

cates and borrowings. These favorable trends were partially offset

by the managed reduction in residential real estate loans. Interest

income decreased by $72,000 in 2001, reflecting a decrease of $56.7

million due to rate changes, substantially offset by an increase of

$56.6 million due to volume changes. Interest expense decreased

$42.8 million in 2001, reflecting a decrease of $53.4 million due

to a lower cost of funds, partially offset by a $10.6 million increase

due to volume changes. 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 in 2001

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

million, 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

Provision for Credit Losses TCF  provided  $22  million  for
credit losses in 2002, compared with $20.9 million in 2001 and

$14.8 million in 2000. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $20 mil-

lion, or .25% of average loans and leases in 2002, compared with

$12.5 million, or .15% of average loans and leases in 2001 and $3.9

million, or .05% of average loans and leases in 2000. The increase

in the provision from 2001 reflects the impact of the growth in the

consumer, commercial business, commercial real estate and leasing

and equipment finance portfolios, coupled with increased charge-

offs in these portfolios. Commercial lending net charge-offs were

$5.9 million in 2002, compared with net charge-offs of $236,000

for 2001. Included in the commercial lending charge-offs for 2002

was $4.3 million related to $7.4 million of loans to a banking cus-

tomer who is dependent on the transportation industry, which has

been severely impacted by the economic slowdown. Leasing and equip-

ment finance net charge-offs were $8 million, or .80% of related

average loans and leases during 2002, compared with $9.1 million,

or 1% of average loans and leases in 2001. The provision 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 criti-

cal accounting policy which involves a number of factors such as net

charge-offs, delinquencies in the loan and lease portfolio, value of

collateral, general economic conditions and management’s assess-

ment of credit risk in the current loan and lease portfolio. The

allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $77 million at December

31, 2002, compared with $75 million at December 31, 2001, and

was 176% of non-accrual loans and leases compared with 144% at

December 31, 2001. See “Consolidated Financial Condition

Analysis – Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” on page 35.

A key component in determining the fair value of mortgage servicing rights is the projected cash flows of the underlying loan portfolio.

TCF uses projected cash flows and related prepayment assumptions based on management’s best estimate for the estimated life of the loans.

The range in prepayment assumptions at December 31, 2002 reflects management’s assumption of higher initial prepayments that decline over

time and level off to a constant prepayment speed. The table above summarizes, by interest rate tranche, the range of prepayment speed assump-

tions and also includes the weighted average remaining life of the loans by tranche. In 2001, TCF used constant prepayment speed assumptions.

At December 31, 2002, the sensitivity of the fair value of mortgage servicing rights to a hypothetical immediate 10% and 25% adverse

change in prepayment speed and discount rate assumptions is as follows:

Compensation and employee benefits, representing 54.9% and
53.3% of total non-interest expense in 2002 and 2001, respec-
tively, increased $28.1 million, or 10.5%, in 2002, and $28.2 mil-
lion, or 11.8%, in 2001. The 2002 increase of 10.5% was primarily
due to costs associated with new branch expansion and the addition
of lenders and sales representatives. The 2001 increase of 11.8% was
primarily due to costs associated with expanded retail banking and
leasing activities, along with the significant increase in mortgage
banking activities.

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $4.4 million in
2002 and $3.8 million in 2001. The increases were primarily due
to TCF’s new branch expansion and retail banking and leasing activ-
ities, partially offset by branch sales. 

Advertising and promotion expenses increased $985,000 in 2002
following an increase of $1.7 million in 2001. The increase in 2002
was primarily due to increases in retail banking media advertising.
The 2001 increase was primarily due to retail banking activities and
promotional expenses associated with the TCF Express Phone Card,
where customers earn free long-distance minutes for use of their TCF
Express Cards. TCF awarded 71 million minutes and 67 million min-
utes during 2002 and 2001, respectively, under this promotion.
Other non-interest expense increased $10.7 million, or 8.5%,
in 2002, primarily the result of increased expenses associated with
expanded retail banking and leasing operations, Express Card inter-
change expense resulting from increased utilization and the higher
levels of production and prepayment activity in the mortgage bank-
ing area. In 2001, other non-interest expense increased $11 million,
or 9.5%, primarily the result of increased expenses associated with
higher levels of activity in mortgage banking and expanded retail bank-
ing and leasing operations. A summary of other expense is presented
in Note 25 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

On January 1, 2002, TCF adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that goodwill and other

page 30

intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized,
but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Further detail on
goodwill amortization is provided in Note 22 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Income Taxes TCF recorded income tax expense of $124.8 mil-
lion in 2002, compared with $122.5 million in 2001 and $116.6
million in 2000. Income tax expense represented 34.88% of income
before income tax expense during 2002, compared with 37.14% and
38.5% in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The lower effective tax rate
in 2002 primarily reflects the effect of the change in accounting for
goodwill, lower state income taxes, a favorable resolution of uncer-
tainties during tax examinations and the reduced effect of non-
deductible expenses as a percentage of pre-tax net income.

TCF has Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) and related
companies, that acquire, hold and manage mortgage assets and other
authorized investments to generate income. These companies are
consolidated with TCF National Bank and are therefore included in
the consolidated financial statements of TCF Financial Corporation.
The REITs must meet specific provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code (“IRC”) to continue to qualify as a REIT. Two specific provi-
sions applicable to REITs are an income test and an asset test. At least
75% of each REIT’s gross income, excluding gross income from pro-
hibited transactions, for each taxable year must be derived directly or
indirectly from investments relating to real property or mortgages
on real property. Additionally, at least 75% of each REIT’s assets must
be  represented  by  real  estate  assets.  At  December  31,  2002, 
TCF’s REITs met the applicable provisions of the IRC to qualify as
REITs. State laws may also impose limitations or restrictions on oper-
ations of these companies. These laws are subject to change. If these 
companies fail to meet any of the required provisions of Federal
and state tax laws, the resulting tax consequences would increase
TCF’s effective tax rate.

The determination of current and deferred income taxes is a crit-
ical accounting policy which is based on complex analyses of many
factors including interpretation of Federal and state income tax laws,
the differences between tax and financial reporting basis of assets and
liabilities (temporary differences), estimates of amounts due or owed
such as the timing of reversal of temporary differences and current
financial accounting standards. Additionally, there can be no assur-
ances that estimates and interpretations used in determining income
tax liabilities may not be challenged by Federal and state taxing author-
ities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and
interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income
tax liabilities. In addition, under generally accepted accounting prin-
ciples, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded at the
current prevailing Federal and state income tax rates. If such rates
change, deferred income tax assets and liabilities must be adjusted
in the period of change through a charge or credit through the
Consolidated Statement of Income. Further detail on income taxes
is provided in Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Consolidated Financial Condition Analysis

Investments Total investments, which include interest-bearing
deposits with banks, federal funds sold, Federal Home Loan Bank
(“FHLB”) stock, Federal Reserve Bank stock and other investments,
decreased $2.2 million to $153.7 million at December 31, 2002.
The decrease primarily reflects a decrease of $2.3 million in FHLB

stock. TCF is required to invest in FHLB stock in proportion to its
level of mortgage assets (defined as mortgage-backed securities and
residential and consumer 1-4 family and multi-family loans) and the
level of borrowings from the FHLB. TCF had no non-investment
grade debt securities (junk bonds) and there were no open trading
account or investment option positions as of December 31, 2002
or 2001. 

Securities Available for Sale Securities  available  for  sale
increased $842.1 million during 2002 to $2.4 billion at December
31, 2002. This increase reflects purchases of $2 billion of mortgage-
backed securities, partially offset by sales of $473.9 million in which
the Company recognized $11.5 million in gains on sales of securi-
ties available for sale, and normal payment and prepayment activity.
At December 31, 2002, TCF’s securities available-for-sale port-
folio included $2.4 billion and $18.3 million of fixed-rate and
adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities, respectively. Net unre-
alized pre-tax gains on securities available for sale totaled $72.3 mil-
lion  at  December  31,  2002,  compared  with  $9.8  million  at
December 31, 2001.

Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale included residential
mortgage and education loans. Residential mortgage loans held for
sale were $277.4 million and $286.6 million at December 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively. Education loans held for sale were $199.1 mil-
lion and $165.1 million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Market Risk – Interest-Rate Risk TCF’s results of opera-
tions are dependent to a large degree on its net interest income and

its ability to manage its interest rate risk. Although TCF manages

other risks, such as credit and liquidity risk, in the normal course of

its business, the Company considers interest rate risk to be its most

significant market risk. Since TCF does not hold a trading portfolio,

the Company is not exposed to market risk from trading activities.

The mismatch between maturities, interest rate sensitivities and pre-

payment characteristics of assets and liabilities results in interest rate

risk. TCF, like most financial institutions, has a material interest rate

risk exposure to changes in both short-term and long-term interest

rates as well as variable interest rate indices (e.g., prime). 

TCF’s Asset/Liability Management Committee manages TCF’s

interest-rate risk based on interest rate expectations and other fac-

tors. The principal objective of TCF’s asset/liability management

activities is to provide maximum levels of net interest income while

maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk and liquidity risk

and facilitating the funding needs of the Company. 

Although the measure is subject to a number of assumptions and

is only one of a number of measurements, management believes that

interest rate gap (difference between interest-earning assets and

ties. TCF’s one-year adjusted interest rate gap was a positive $1.1

billion, or 9% of total assets, at December 31, 2002, compared with

a positive $241.8 million, or 2% of total assets, at December 31, 2001.

A positive interest rate gap position exists when the amount of inter-

est-earning assets maturing or repricing, including assumed pre-

payments, within a particular time period exceeds the amount of

interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing. The increase in

the one-year gap reflects the current low interest rate environment

in which TCF, and the banking industry as a whole, has experienced

sharp increases in actual and forecasted prepayments of mortgage-

backed securities, residential real estate loans, fixed-rate consumer

and commercial real estate loans. Also impacting the gap is signifi-

cant customer demand for variable-rate consumer and commercial

loan products, in addition to the growth in deposits. TCF has man-

aged this change by repositioning the balance sheet for a rising short-

term interest rate environment. If interest rates remain at current

levels or fall further, the net interest margin may compress and net

interest income may decline.

TCF’s consumer and commercial loans (excluding loans at their

floor rate) tied to a floating interest rate (prime or LIBOR) have

increased $703 million in 2002. This is primarily due to TCF

repricing within one year. 18% of savings deposits are included in the “1 to 3 Years” category. All remaining  checking, savings and money market deposits are assumed to mature
in the “3+ Years” category. While management believes that these assumptions are reasonable, no assurance can be given that amounts on deposit in checking, savings, and money
market accounts will not significantly change or be repriced in the event of a general change in interest rates. At December 31, 2001, 8% of checking deposits, 34% of savings
deposits, and 59% of money market deposits were included in amounts repricing within one year. 29% of savings deposits were included in the “1 to 3 Years” category. 

(4) Includes $1.1 billion of callable borrowings. At December 31, 2002, the contract rates on all callable borrowings exceeded current market rates.

“Return on average realized common equity” Return on average realized

common equity (“RORE”) is computed by taking annualized net

income from the consolidated statements of income and dividing it

by average common stockholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other

comprehensive income (loss), for the period. The comparable GAAP

financial measure is return on average common equity (“ROE”) which

is reported along with RORE. TCF believes the use of RORE more

accurately reflects the return on the common equity of the Company,

and removes the volatility that is present in the ROE computation

resulting from the inclusion of net unrealized gains (losses) on secu-

rities available for sale which can fluctuate significantly from period-

to-period due to changes in the fair value of such securities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of TCF Financial Corporation and its wholly

restructured commercial real estate and commercial business loans

and equipment financings. Consumer and residential real estate loans

and lease financings are excluded from the definition of an impaired

loan. Loan impairment is measured as the present value of the

owned subsidiaries. TCF Financial Corporation (“TCF” or the

expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s initial effective

“Company”) is a national financial holding company engaged pri-

generally accepted accounting principles requires management to

make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of

of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results

could differ from those estimates.

Mortgage Servicing Rights TCF records a mortgage servicing
rights asset for its right to service mortgage loans it has sold to third

parties but continues to service for a fee. The total cost of loans sold

is allocated between the loans sold and the servicing rights retained

based on the relative fair values of each. Mortgage servicing rights are

initially recorded at cost and are subsequently carried at the lower of

cost, adjusted for amortization, or estimated fair value. Mortgage

TCF periodically evaluates its capitalized mortgage servicing rights

losses, mortgage servicing rights and income taxes.  

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses The allowance for loan
and lease losses is maintained at a level believed to be appropriate by

management to provide for probable loan and lease losses inherent

in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date, including known or

anticipated problem loans and leases, as well as for loans and leases

which  are  not  currently  known  to  require  specific  allowances.

Management’s judgment as to the amount of the allowance, includ-

ing the allocated and unallocated elements, is a result of ongoing review

of larger individual loans and leases, the overall risk characteristics of

the portfolios, changes in the character or size of the portfolios, the

level of impaired and non-performing assets, historical net charge-

off amounts, geographic location, prevailing economic conditions

and other relevant factors. Impaired loans include all non-accrual and

for impairment. Loan type and note rate are the predominant risk

characteristics of the underlying loans used to stratify capitalized

mortgage servicing rights for purposes of measuring impairment.

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is estimated by calculat-

ing the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, tak-

ing into consideration actual and expected mortgage loan prepayment

rates, discount rates, servicing costs, and other economic factors.

The expected and actual rate of mortgage loan prepayments are the

most significant factors driving the value of mortgage servicing rights.

Adjustments to the mortgage servicing rights valuation allow-

ance for other than permanent impairment are recorded in mort-

gage banking revenues. Permanent impairment is recognized 

as a write-down of the mortgage servicing rights and the related val-

uation allowance.

differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on

deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized

in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The determination of current and deferred income taxes is based

on complex analyses of many factors including interpretation of

Federal and state income tax laws, the difference between tax and

financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities (temporary differ-

ences), estimates of amounts due or owed such as the timing of rever-

sals of temporary differences and current financial accounting

standards. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates

and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred

income tax liabilities.

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

Loans and Leases Net fees and costs associated with originating
and acquiring loans and leases are deferred and amortized over 

the lives of the assets. 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 carried at the com-

bined present value of the future minimum lease payments and the

lease residual value. The lease residual value represents the estimated

fair value of the leased equipment at the termination of the lease.

Lease residual values are reviewed on an ongoing basis and any

downward revisions are recorded in the periods in which they become

known. Interest income on direct financing and sales-type leases is

recognized using methods which approximate a level yield over the

of related deferred income taxes, reported as accumulated other

term of the leases. Sales-type leases generate dealer profit which is

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

stockholders’ equity. Cost of securities sold is determined on a spe-

Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale include residential mort-
gage and education loans. Residential mortgage loans held for sale

are carried at the lower of cost or market as adjusted for the effects

of fair value hedges using quoted market prices. See Note 19 for

the term of the leases based on the unrecovered equity investment.
Loans and leases, including loans that are considered to be
impaired, are reviewed regularly by management and are placed on
non-accrual status when the collection of interest or principal is 90
days or more past due (150 days or more past due for loans secured
by residential real estate), unless the loan or lease is adequately secured

page 52

and in the process of collection. When a loan or lease is placed on
non-accrual status, unless collection of all principal and interest is
considered to be assured, uncollected interest accrued in prior years
is charged off against the allowance for loan and lease losses. Interest
accrued in the current year is reversed. For those non-accrual leases
that have been funded on a non-recourse basis by third-party finan-
cial institutions, the related debt is also placed on non-accrual status.
Interest payments received on non-accrual loans and leases are gen-
erally applied to principal unless the remaining principal balance has
been determined to be fully collectible. 

Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment are carried
at cost and are depreciated or amortized on a straight-line basis over

their estimated useful lives. 

Other Real Estate Owned Other real estate owned is recorded
at the lower of cost or fair value minus estimated costs to sell at the

date of transfer to other real estate owned. If the fair value of an asset

minus the estimated costs to sell should decline to less than the carry-

ing amount of the asset, the deficiency is recognized in the period in

which it becomes known and is included in other non-interest expense.

Investments in Affordable Housing Investments in afford-
able housing consist of investments in limited partnerships that

operate qualified affordable housing projects or that invest in other

impaired. Deposit based intangibles are amortized over 10 years on

an accelerated basis. The Company reviews the recoverability of the

carrying values of these assets annually or whenever an event occurs

indicating that they may be impaired. See Note 9 for additional

information concerning intangible assets and goodwill.

Stock-Based Compensation Effective January 1, 2000, TCF
adopted prospectively the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,

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

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. TCF applied the intrin-

sic 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

has been recognized for any stock option grants made prior to 2000.

Compensation expense for restricted stock under SFAS No. 123

and APB Opinion No. 25 is recorded over the vesting periods. The

amount of stock option grants accounted for under APB Opinion

No. 25 and the related pro-forma impact on net income and earn-

ings per share had the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 been

applied to such grants during 2002, 2001 and 2000 is not mate-

rial. See Note 17 for additional information concerning stock-

limited partnerships formed to operate affordable housing pro-

based compensation. 

jects. TCF generally utilizes the effective yield method to account

for these investments with the tax credits net of the amortization

of the investment reflected in the Consolidated Statements of

Income as a reduction of income tax expense, however, depend-

ing on circumstances, the equity or cost methods may be utilized.

The amount of the investment along with any unfunded equity con-

tributions which are unconditional and legally binding are recorded

in other assets. A liability for the unfunded equity contributions

is recorded in other liabilities. At December 31, 2002, TCF’s

investments in affordable housing were $27.2 million, compared

with $2.1 million at December 31, 2001.

Intangible Assets On January 1, 2002, TCF adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and

Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that goodwill and intangible

assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested

for impairment annually. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, TCF

performed impairment testing and concluded that goodwill was not

Derivative Financial Instruments TCF utilizes derivative finan-
cial instruments to meet the ongoing credit needs of its customers and

in order to manage the market exposure of its residential loans held

for sale and its commitments to extend credit for residential loans.

Derivative financial instruments include commitments to extend

credit and forward mortgage loan sales commitments. TCF does not

use derivatives to manage its interest rate risk position. See Notes

19 and 20 for additional information concerning these derivative

financial instruments.

2. Cash and Due from Banks

At December 31, 2002, TCF was required by Federal Reserve Board

(“FRB”) regulations to maintain reserve balances of $43.7 million

in cash on hand or at various Federal Reserve Banks.

At December 31, 2002, $200 million of securities sold under repurchase agreements with an interest rate of 6.26% maturing in 2005

were collateralized by mortgage-backed securities having a fair value of $214.6 million. These borrowings are callable quarterly by

the counterparty. 

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

tutions 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.

FHLB advances are collateralized by residential real estate loans, consumer loans and FHLB stock with an aggregate carrying value of

$2.5 billion at December 31, 2002 and are generally fixed-rate advances. Included in FHLB advances at December 31, 2002 are $928.5 mil-

lion of fixed-rate advances which are callable at par on certain dates. If called, the FHLB will provide replacement funding at the then-pre-

vailing market interest rates. The probability that these advances will be called depends primarily on the level of related interest rates during the

call period. At December 31, 2002, the contract rate exceeded the market rate on all of the fixed-rate callable advances. The stated maturity

dates and the next call dates for the callable FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 2002 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

17. Incentive Stock Program

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. At December 31, 2002, there were 2,791,116 shares reserved

for issuance under the Program, including 303,877 shares related

to outstanding stock options.

At December 31, 2002, there were 1,145,000 shares of perfor-

mance-based restricted stock that 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. The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock

was $48.93, $39.53 and $24.60 per share in 2002, 2001 and 2000,

respectively. Compensation expense for restricted stock is recorded

over the vesting periods, and totaled $11.6 million, $11.1 million

and $9.4 million in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

TCF has also issued stock options under the Program that gen-

erally become exercisable over a period of one to 10 years from the

date of the grant and expire after 10 years. All outstanding stock

options have a fixed exercise price equal to the market price of TCF

common stock on the date of grant. The weighted-average grant date

fair value of stock options granted in 2000 was $6.59.

The Pension Plan’s assets consist primarily of listed stocks and bonds. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Pension Plan’s assets included

28,400 and 246,000 shares of TCF common stock with a market value of $1.2 million and $11.8 million, respectively.

For active participants of the Postretirement Plan, a 12% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was

assumed for 2003. This rate is assumed to decrease gradually to 5% by 2009 and remain at that level thereafter. 

Assumed health care cost trend rates have an effect on the amounts reported for the Postretirement Plan. A one-percentage-point change

19. Derivative Instruments 
and Hedging Activities

All derivative instruments as defined, including derivatives embedded

in other financial instruments or contracts, are recognized as either

assets or liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial

Condition at fair value. Changes in the fair value of a derivative are

recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income. A derivative

During 2002 and 2001, the ineffectiveness of the fair value hedges

was recorded in gains on sales of loans and was not material. Forward

mortgage loan sales commitments totaled $511 million and $490.9

million at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

management’s credit evaluation of the customer. 

Such forward sales contracts hedging the pipeline of locked residen-

tial mortgage loan commitments are derivatives and are recorded at

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

loans. TCF also utilizes forward sales contracts to hedge its risk of

changes in the fair value of its residential loans held for sale. 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 as is the offsetting change in the fair value of hedged

loans. Because the fair value of the residential loans held for sale are

hedged  with  forward  sales  contracts  of  the  same  loan  types,  or 

substantially the same loan types, the hedges are highly effective at

managing the risk of changing fair values of such loans. Any differ-

ences between the changes in fair value of the hedged residential loans

held for sale and in the fair value of the forward sales contracts

(defined as ineffectiveness under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) are not expected to

be material due to the nature of the hedging instruments and are

required to be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

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. At December 31, 2002, the unused portion of these

commitments totaled $1.8 billion and consisted of consumer com-

mitments of $1.2 billion, commercial commitments of $576.6 mil-

lion, leasing and equipment financing commitments of $67 million

and other commitments of $38.4 million. At December 31, 2001,

the unused portion of these commitments totaled $1.6 billion and

consisted of consumer commitments of $955.7 million, commer-

cial commitments of $496.4 million, leasing and equipment

financing commitments of $71.6 million and other commitments

of $30.6 million. 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.

bid”  exposure  on  VA  loans  serviced  with  partial  recourse  was

$100,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001 and was recorded in

other liabilities. No claims have been made under the “no-bid” option

during 2002 or 2001. Loans sold with recourse to FNMA represent

residential real estate loans sold to FNMA prior to 1982. TCF no

longer sells loans on a recourse basis. The contingent guarantee related

to both types of recourse remains in effect for the duration of the

loans and thus expires in various years through the year 2032. All

loans sold with recourse are collateralized by residential real estate.

21. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

TCF is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instru-

ments, both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet, for which

it is practicable to estimate fair value. Fair value estimates are made at

a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and

information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are

subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of 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.

Deposits The fair value of checking, savings and money market
deposits is deemed equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair

value of certificates is estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses

using interest rates offered by TCF for certificates with similar remain-

ing maturities. The intangible value of long-term relationships with

depositors is not taken into account in the fair values disclosed in the

table below. 

Borrowings The  carrying  amounts  of  short-term  borrowings
approximate their fair values. The fair values of TCF’s long-term

borrowings are estimated based on quoted market prices or discounted

cash flow analyses using interest rates for borrowings of similar

remaining maturities. 

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk The
fair values of TCF’s commitments to extend credit and standby 

letters of credit are estimated using fees currently charged to enter

into similar agreements. For fixed-rate loan commitments and

standby letters of credit issued in conjunction with fixed-rate loan

agreements, fair value also considers the difference between current

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

loans  serviced  with  recourse  approximates  the  carrying  value

recorded in other liabilities.

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

amounts and fair values of the Company’s remaining financial instruments are set forth in the following table:

22. Net Income and Goodwill Amortization

On January 1, 2002, TCF adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that goodwill and other intangible

assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. The following table reconciles

prior period net income and earnings per share to an adjusted basis, which excludes goodwill amortization, for comparison purposes:

(1) At December 31, 2002, December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, there were 1,145,000, 1,145,000 and 1,135,000 shares, respectively, of performance-based restricted stock
granted to certain executive officers which 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. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” these shares have been deducted from weighted average shares outstanding used for the computation
of basic and diluted earnings per common share, as all necessary conditions for inclusion have not been satisfied. The remaining unvested restricted stock grants vest over specified
time periods, and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share in accordance with the treasury stock method prescribed in SFAS No. 128.

26. Business Segments

Banking, leasing and equipment finance, and mortgage banking have

been identified as reportable operating segments. Banking includes

the following operating units that provide financial services to cus-

tomers: deposits and investment products, commercial lending,

consumer  lending,  residential  lending  and  treasury  services.

Management of TCF’s banking business segment is organized by state.

The separate state operations have been aggregated for purposes of

segment disclosures. Leasing and equipment finance provides a broad

range of comprehensive leasing and equipment finance products

addressing the financing needs of diverse companies. Mortgage bank-

ing activities include the origination and purchase of residential

mortgage loans primarily for sale to third parties, generally with

servicing retained. In addition, TCF operates a bank holding com-

pany (“parent company”) and has corporate functions that provide

data processing, bank operations and other professional services to

the operating segments.

TCF evaluates performance and allocates resources based on

the business segments’ net income. The business 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. 

page 72

The following table sets forth certain information about the reported profit or loss and assets of each of TCF’s reportable segments,

including a reconciliation of TCF’s consolidated totals. The results of TCF’s parent company and corporate functions comprise the “other”

category in the table below.

Effective January 1, 2001, certain company-wide functions previously included in the parent company transferred, with related assets and

liabilities, to TCF National Bank.

28. Litigation and Contingent Liabilities

From time to time, TCF is a party to legal proceedings arising out of

its lending, leasing, deposit operations or other activities. TCF engages

in foreclosure proceedings and other collection actions as part of its

loan and leasing collection activities. From time to time, borrowers

and other customers have also brought actions against TCF, in some

cases claiming substantial amounts of damages. Some financial 

services companies have been subjected to significant exposure in

connection with litigation, including class action litigation and puni-

tive damage claims, and it is possible that the Company could be sub-

jected to such a claim in an amount which could be material. Based

upon a review with its legal counsel, management believes that the

ultimate disposition of pending litigation will not have a material

effect on TCF’s financial condition.

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, 2002 and 2001, 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, 2002. 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, 2002
and 2001, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2002,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

As discussed in note 1 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 and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, as of January 1, 2002.

The title “Investing in the Future” and the artwork in our 2002
annual report reflect TCF’s strategy of investing in our franchise.
We plant the seeds of growth by investing in new banking facilities
and convenient products and services. These investments may
reduce our profits in the short term, but they are proven providers
of long-term growth and profitability. Like an orchard, TCF is
subject to changes in the environment. We use our experience to
buffer elements such as a challenging business climate, unfriendly
economy and changing laws and regulations. We have confidence
in our proven strategies and the patience to continue investing for
the future. Like apple trees in an orchard, we expect our invest-
ments to bear fruit for many, many years.
