            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,
1997.

         The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for
the remainder of the year.

(2) IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company adopted S.F.A.S. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," during the
first quarter of 1998. For the nine months ended September 30th, comprehensive
income totaled $8,950,000 and $8,308,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

In February 1998, the Financial Accountings Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions
and Other Post-retirement Benefits" ("SFAS No. 132"). SFAS No. 132 supersedes
the disclosure requirements for pension and other post-retirement plans as set
forth in SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting For Pensions," SFAS No. 88,
"Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit
Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits," and SFAS No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Post-retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." SFAS No. 132 does
not address measurement or recognition for pension and other post-retirement
benefit plans.

SFAS No. 132 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
Restatement of disclosures for earlier periods provided for comparative purposes
is required unless the information is not readily available.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          for the Three-Month Periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997

NET INCOME

         Net income was $3,074,000 for the quarter, ahead 6.7 percent from
$2,880,000 posted during the same period last year. Earnings per share for the
quarter were $0.51 versus $0.47, a gain of 8.5 percent.

INTEREST INCOME

         Interest income was $16,882,000 for the third quarter of 1998, up 3.4
percent from $16,328,000 posted for the same quarter in 1997. Average net loans
during the third quarter of 1998 totaled $628,510,000, compared to $590,466,000
for the same period of 1997. During the third quarter of 1998, the yield was
8.62 percent (taxable-equivalent) on average earning assets of $787,822,000 down
from 8.68 percent on average earning assets of $752,202,000 during the third
quarter of 1997. 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 1998 was $5,291,000, down 1.9

third quarter 1998 were $802,613,000 up from $762,728,000 for the comparable
period in 1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net interest income is the largest component of the Company's earnings.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 1998 was $11,591,000, up from
$10,935,000 during the same period of 1997. The net interest margin for the
quarter, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 5.93 percent compared to 5.81
percent for the same period of 1997.

OTHER INCOME


         Other income increased to $2,210,000 for the three months compared to
$2,165,000 the previous year. Service charges on deposits were down 17.6
percent. Service charges other than for deposits, commissions, and fees

OTHER EXPENSE

CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Stockholders' equity totaled $70,800,000 on September 30, 1998, an
increase of 8.7 percent from $65,140,000 on December 31, 1997. The ratio of
equity to assets was 8.10 percent at September 30, 1998 and 7.53 percent at
December 31, 1997.

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 reprice 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, 1997.

READINESS FOR THE YEAR 2000

         Suffolk has identified ways in which the year 2000 ("Y2K") may affect
its operations. Following is a summary of its readiness.

1. Suffolk's Readiness.

Suffolk is in the final phase of its evaluation and improvement of its internal
information systems. During the first quarter, Suffolk converted its
core-processing systems (including loans, deposits, and general ledger) to a
state-of-the-art distributed client-server system which is fully ready for Y2K.
Various accounting subsystems (non-core) have been evaluated, and all
modifications are currently expected to be made by December 15, 1998. As a
banking corporation, Suffolk relies mainly on its information systems to conduct
business. Management does not expect that technology embedded in microprocessors
which may not work properly after the year 2000 to have a material effect on
Suffolk's operations or profitability.

2. Cost to Address Y2K.

Management expects the cost of evaluating and modifying systems in preparation
for the year 2000 to be approximately $40,000 for each of 1998 and 1999.

3. Risk of Y2K.

Management at Suffolk believes that it has made provision for its systems to
continue processing information correctly through and beyond the year 2000.
Management has also confirmed, in writing, that key providers of information
have also made proper provision. However, Suffolk has no control over the
readiness of major utilities and communications networks. In the opinion of
management, the failure of such outside services presents the greatest risk to
Suffolk of Y2K problems.

4. Contingency Plan.

As a matter of standard practice, Suffolk maintains a disaster recovery plan
which is reviewed and updated annually. While Suffolk has no means of accurately
measuring risk to the systems of major utilities and communications networks,
its disaster recovery plan assumes that these systems may fail, both for reasons
related to Y2K, as well as for other reasons, and makes provision for operations
to continue without them, albeit with reduced efficiency.

5. External Assessment of Suffolk's Readiness.

Suffolk's readiness for Y2K has been and continues to be evaluated by its
internal and external auditors. It will also be evaluated by its primary banking
regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
