From time to time, TCF sells minimum lease payments to third-party financial institutions at fixed rates. For those transactions which achieve sale treatment, the related lease cash flow stream is not recognized on TCFs Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, TCF sold $23.9 million and $18.2 million, respectively, of minimum lease payment receivables, received cash of $23.6 million and $18.5 million, respectively, and recognized a net loss of $314 thousand and net gain of $276 thousand, respectively.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, TCFs lease residuals reported within the table above include $12.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, related to all historical sales of minimum lease payment receivables.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, TCF sold $144.1 million of consumer auto loans with servicing retained and received cash of $141.1 million, resulting in gains of $5.5 million. Related to these sales, TCF retained an interest-only strip of $10.1 million.

At December 31, 2011, interest-only strips and contractual recourse liabilities totaled $22.4 million and $6 million, respectively. No servicing assets or liabilities related to consumer auto loans were recorded within TCFs Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, as the contractual servicing fees are adequate to compensate TCF for its servicing responsibilities. The unpaid principal balance of auto loans serviced for third parties was $508.5 million and $387.1 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011,

Cash Flow Hedges Foreign exchange contracts, which include forward contracts, were used to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with certain minimum lease payment streams. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, TCF had $4 thousand and less than $1 thousand, respectively, of unrealized gains on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). For the three months ended June 30, 2012, losses of less than $1 thousand were excluded from the assessment of TCFs cash flow hedge effectiveness. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, losses of $1 thousand were excluded from the assessment of TCFs cash flow hedge effectiveness. The estimated amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next 12 months is a loss of $4 thousand.

Net interest income, the difference between interest income earned on loans and leases, securities available for sale, investments and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits and borrowings, represented 66.7% of TCFs total revenue, excluding gains on securities for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net interest income can change significantly from period to period based on general levels of interest rates, customer prepayment patterns, the mix of interest-earning assets and the mix of interest-bearing and non-interest bearing deposits and borrowings. TCF manages the risk of changes in interest rates on its net interest income through an Asset/Liability Management Committee and through related interest-rate risk monitoring and management policies.
