                   Statement Regarding Computation of Ratios

     The ratios of income to fixed charges have been computed on the basis of
the total enterprise (as defined by the Commission) by dividing income before
fixed charges and income taxes by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of
interest expense on all long-term and short-term borrowings, excluding or
including interest on deposits as indicated below. The computations of other
ratios are evident from the information presented in this Form 10-Q and the
Corporation's 2001 Annual Report.
