                        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 and nine months ended September
30, 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 September 30, 1997 and 1996

NET INCOME
         Net income was $2,880,000 for the quarter, ahead 3.5 percent from
$2,783,000 posted during the same period last year. Earnings per share for the
quarter were $0.47 versus $0.43, a gain of 9.3 percent.

INTEREST INCOME
         Interest income was $16,328,000 for the third quarter of 1997, up 6.3
percent from $15,365,000 posted for the same quarter in 1996. Average net loans
during the third quarter of 1997 totaled $590,466,000, compared to $555,560,000
for the same period of 1996. During the third quarter of 1997, the yield was
8.68 percent on average earning assets of $752,202,000 up from $709,439,000
during the third quarter of 1996, yielding 8.63 percent. The increase in
interest income is primarily attributable to the increase in average balances of
earning assets.

INTEREST EXPENSE
         Interest expense for the third quarter of 1997 was $5,393,000, up 12.5
percent from $4,795,000 for the same period of 1996. Average deposits for the
third quarter 1997 were $762,728,000 up from $715,112,000 for the comparable
period in 1996.

NET INTEREST INCOME
         Net interest income is the largest component of the Company's earnings.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $10,935,000, up from
$10,570,000 during the same period of 1996. The net interest margin for the
quarter, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 5.81 percent compared to 5.96
percent for the same period of 1996.

</TABLE>

OTHER INCOME

         Other income increased to $2,165,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to $1,948,000. Trust revenue was up 6.8 percent.
Other operating income was down 17.1 percent.

OTHER EXPENSE

         Other expense for the third quarter 1997 was $7,886,000, up 7.0 percent
from $7,369,000 for the comparable period in 1996.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Stockholders' equity totaled $63,248,000 on September 30, 1997, a
decrease of $9,502,000 from $72,750,000 on December 31, 1996. The ratio of
equity to assets was 7.6 percent at September 30, 1997 and 9.04 percent at
December 31, 1996.

         At their annual meeting on April 8, 1997, the Company's shareholders
voted to increase the number of shares authorized from 7,500,000 to 15,000,000
and to split the stock 2 for 1, changing the par value from $5.00 to $2.50. The
split was payable on May 15, 1997. All numbers in the following discussion are
adjusted to reflect the split.

         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 329,644 shares. In 1996,
the Company authorized the repurchase of 340,130 shares, of which it was able to
repurchase only 236,800 shares. The remaining 103,330 shares not repurchased
during 1996 were added to the 1997 plan, calling in total to repurchase 432,974
shares more.

         In the first week of the quarter, the Company reached an agreement with
its largest shareholder to repurchase 373,422 shares, or 5.77 percent of the
shares outstanding on September 30, 1997. This purchase raised the total of
shares repurchased since December 31, 1996 to 497,536, or 64,562 shares more
than had previously been announced for repurchase. The additional shares were
authorized by the board for repurchase in order to complete the transaction.
This transaction reduced the Company's leverage ratio from 8.68 percent to 7.26
percent, pro-forma, based on September 30, 1997 balances and should be accretive
to earnings per share. This transaction concludes the Company's formal
repurchase program, although the Company may repurchase shares in the future for
various corporate purposes.
