            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
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, 1998.

        The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for
the remainder of the year.

OTHER INCOME

        Other income decreased to $1,782,000 for the three months compared to
$2,210,000 the previous year. Service charges on deposits were up  8.0 percent.
Service charges other than for deposits, commissions, and fees decreased by
52.9 percent. Trust revenue was up 11.4 percent. Other operating income was
down 12.2 percent.  Much of the decline is attributable to the sale of a
merchant services portfolio during the second quarter of 1998.  The portfolio
provided revenues which were largely offset by non-interest expense.

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  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,
1998.

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 of 1998, 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 were 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 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

                                       11

<PAGE>   12

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.      Assessment of Suffolk's Readiness.

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