                        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 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 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,
1996.

               The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected
for the remainder of the year.

(2) IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

               In December 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board,
("FASB") issued SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain
Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125," which is an amendment to SFAS No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment
of Liabilities," which supersedes SFAS No. 122. SFAS No. 125 is effective for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities
occurring after December 31, 1996. SFAS No. 127 delayed the effective date of
certain provisions of SFAS No. 125 until January 1, 1998.



   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
      OPERATION for the Three Month Periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996

NET INCOME
               Net income was $2,711,000 for the quarter, ahead 10.5 percent
from $2,453,000 posted during the same period last year. Earnings per share for
the quarter were $0.83 versus $0.72, a gain of 15.3 percent.

INTEREST INCOME
               Interest income was $15,546,000 for the first quarter 1997, up
6.0 percent from $14,671,000 posted for the same quarter in 1996. Average net
loans for the first quarter of 1997 totaled $578,529,000, compared to
$509,375,000 for the same period of 1996. During the first quarter of 1997, the
yield was 8.49 percent on average earning assets of $736,525,000, up from 8.32
percent on average earning assets of $711,726,000 during the first quarter of
1996. The increase in interest income, is attributable to the increase in
average balances of earning assets.

INTEREST EXPENSE
               Interest expense for the first quarter of 1997 was $4,972,000,
down 0.5 percent from $4,997,000 for the same period of 1996. Average deposits
for the first quarter 1997 were $711,927,000, up from $703,570,000 for the
comparable period in 1996. Other borrowings, in the form of federal funds
purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, averaged
$17,965,000 during the first quarter 1997, compared to $570,000 during first
quarter 1996. Time deposits have decreased while other time deposits and savings
have increased.

NET INTEREST INCOME
               Net interest income remains the largest component of the Bank's
earnings. Net interest income for the first quarter of 1997 was $10,574,000, up
from $9,674,000 during the same period of 1996. The net interest margin for the
quarter, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 5.79 percent compared to 5.52
percent for the same period of 1996.

OTHER INCOME
               Other income increased to $1,679,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 compared to $1,636,000 for the same period during 1996. Service
charges on deposit accounts is up $113,000 or 11.7 percent as a result of higher
volume within transactional accounts. Trust revenue is down 3.0 percent. Other
operating income is down $57,000 or 30.8 percent.

OTHER EXPENSE
               Other expense for the first quarter 1997 was $7,315,000, up 4.9
percent from $6,970,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The largest component
of the increase is the one-time expenses related to the disposition of real
estate owned, $194,000 during the period. Other operating expenses are up 16.4
percent.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
               Stockholders' equity totaled $71,737,000 on March 31, 1997, a
decrease of $1,013,000 from $72,750,000 on December 31, 1996. The ratio of
equity to assets was 8.93 percent at March 31, 1997 and 9.04 percent at December
31, 1996.

               The Company believes that the repurchase of stock is an important
tool to manage capital in times when its business generates capital faster than
assets. In January of 1997, the Company announced its intention to repurchase
five percent of the common shares then outstanding, or 164,822 shares. In 1996,
the Company authorized the repurchase of 170,065 shares, of which it was able to
repurchase only 118,400 shares. The remaining 51,665 shares not repurchased
during 1996 were added to the 1997 plan, calling in total to repurchase 216,487
shares more. During the quarter most recently ended, the Company repurchased
53,546 shares, or approximately 1.6 percent of the shares outstanding at
December 31, 1996.
