SUFFOLK BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements of Suffolk Bancorp (Suffolk) and its consolidated
subsidiaries have been prepared to reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of
normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
condition and results of operations for the periods presented. Certain
information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
have been condensed or omitted. Notwithstanding, management believes that the
disclosures are adequate to prevent the information from misleading the reader,
particularly when the accompanying consolidated financial statements are read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Registrant's annual report and on Form 10-K, for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

The results of operations for the three months ended June 30 , 2002 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the
remainder of the year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
for the Three-Month Periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

Net Income

Net income was $5,294,000 for the quarter, ahead 9.7 percent from
$4,828,000 posted during the same period last year. Earnings per share for the
quarter were $0.45 versus $0.41, a gain of 9.8 percent.

Interest Income

Interest income was $19,722,000 for the second quarter of 2002, down 1.3
percent from $19,973,000 posted for the same quarter in 2001. Average net loans
during the second quarter of 2002 totaled $793,906,000 compared to $784,498,000
for the same period of 2001. During the second quarter of 2002, the yield was
7.11 percent (taxable-equivalent) on average earning assets of $1,114,219,000
down from 8.39 percent on average earning assets of $956,401,000 during the
second quarter of 2001. Decreases in interest income were attributable primarily
to decrease in interest income on loans, offset by increases in investment
income as a result of a change in the composition of the investment portfolio
emphasizing high-quality, higher-yielding collateralized mortgage obligations.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2002 was $4,235,000, down 33.8
percent from $6,396,000 for the same period of 2001. During the second quarter
of 2002, the cost of funds was 2.14 percent (taxable-equivalent) on average
interest-bearing liabilities of $791,392,000 down from 3.80 percent on average
interest-bearing liabilities of $672,784,000 during the second quarter of 2001.
Interest expense decreased primarily as a result of decreases in market rates of
interest, and as average demand deposits comprised 27.8 percent of total
deposits.

Each of the Bank's demand deposit accounts has a related
non-interest-bearing sweep account. The sole purpose of the sweep accounts is to
reduce the non-interest-bearing reserve balances that the Bank is required to
maintain with the Federal Reserve Bank, and thereby increase funds available for
investment. Although the sweep accounts are classified as savings accounts for
regulatory purposes, they are included in demand deposits in the accompanying
consolidated statements of condition.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, net of the provision for possible loan losses, is the
largest component of Suffolk's earnings. Net interest income for the second
quarter of 2002 was $15,487,000, up 14.1 percent from $13,577,000 during the
same period of 2001. The net interest margin for the quarter, on a fully
taxable-equivalent basis, was 5.59 percent compared to 5.72 percent for the same
period of 2001.

The following table details the components of Suffolk's net interest income on a
taxable-equivalent basis: (dollars in thousands)

Credit Risk

Suffolk makes loans based on the best evaluation possible of the
creditworthiness of the borrower. Even with careful underwriting, some loans may
not be repaid as originally agreed. To provide for this possibility, Suffolk
maintains an allowance for possible loan losses, based on an analysis of the
performance of the loans in its portfolio. The analysis includes subjective
factors based on management's judgment as well as quantitative evaluation.
Prudent, conservative estimates should produce an allowance that will provide
for a range of losses. According to generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP") a financial institution should record its best estimate. Appropriate
factors contributing to the estimate may include changes in the composition of
the institution's assets, or potential economic slowdowns or downturns. Also
important is the geographical or political environment in which the institution
operates. Suffolk's management considers all of these factors when determining
the provision for possible loan losses.

Market Risk

Suffolk originates and invests in interest-earning assets and solicits
interest-bearing deposit accounts. Suffolk's operations are subject to market
risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates to the extent that there is a
difference between the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities that are prepaid, withdrawn, mature, or repriced in any given period
of time. Suffolk's earnings or the net value of its portfolio (the present value
of expected cash flows from liabilities) will change when interest rates change.
The principal objective of Suffolk's asset/liability management program is to
maximize net interest income while keeping risks acceptable. These risks include
both the effect of changes in interest rates, and risks to liquidity. The
program also provides guidance to management in funding Suffolk's investment in
loans and securities. Suffolk's exposure to interest-rate risk has not changed
substantially since December 31, 2001.

Business Risks and Uncertainties

This report contains some statements that look to the future. These may include
remarks about Suffolk Bancorp, the banking industry, and the economy in general.
Factors affecting Suffolk Bancorp include particularly, but are not limited to:
changes in interest rates; increases or decreases in retail and commercial
economic activity in Suffolk's market area; variations in the ability and
propensity of consumers and businesses to borrow, repay, or deposit money, or to
use other banking and financial services. Further, it could take Suffolk longer
than anticipated to implement its strategic plans to increase revenue and manage
non-interest expense, or it may not be possible to implement those plans at all.
Finally, new and unanticipated legislation, regulation, or accounting standards
may require Suffolk to change its practices in ways that materially change the
results of operation. Each of the factors may change in ways that management
does not now foresee. These remarks are based on current plans and expectations.
They are subject, however, to a variety of uncertainties that could cause future
results to vary materially from Suffolk's historical performance, or from
current expectations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Suffolk implemented SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on

value of net assets acquired recorded on Suffolk's statement of condition was
$814,000. During the second quarter of 2002, Suffolk determined that there was
no impairment of the goodwill recorded on its books and no expense was recorded.
Suffolk recorded expense of $90,483 to amortize goodwill during the second
quarter of 2001.
