Calculation of Ratios of Earnings to Fixed Charges

Our historical ratios of  earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated are set forth below.

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing (i) income from continuing operations before income taxes and fixed charges by (ii) total fixed charges.

For purposes of computing these ratios (i) earnings consist of income before income taxes plus fixed charges, (ii) fixed charges, excluding interest on deposits, include interest expense (other than on deposits), preferred stock dividends and the estimated portion of rental expense attributable to interest, and (iii) fixed charges, including interest on deposits, include all interest expense, preferred stock dividends and the estimated portion of rental expense attributable to interest.
