Exhibit 12.1

COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS

Our historical ratios of earnings to fixed charges requirement for the periods indicated are set forth in the table below.  The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For purposes of computing this ratio, earnings consist of income before income taxes plus fixed charges.  Fixed charges consist of interest expense on deposits and borrowings. We paid no preferred stock dividends during any period presented, and accordingly, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is the same as the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.
