SUFFOLK BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Basis of Presentation

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 on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year.

(2) Stock-based Compensation

At June 30, 2006, Suffolk had one stock-based employee compensation plan, a Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”), under which 1,200,000 shares of Suffolk’s common stock were originally reserved for issuance to key employees, and of which 1,061,500 remained available at that date. Options are awarded by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors. The Plan provides that the option price shall not be less than the fair value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. All options are exercisable for a period of ten years or less. The Plan provides for but does not require the grant of stock appreciation rights that the holder may exercise instead of the underlying option. When the stock appreciation right is exercised, the underlying option is canceled. The optionee receives shares of common stock with a fair market value equal to the excess of the fair value of the shares subject to the option at the time of exercise (or the portion thereof so exercised) over the aggregate option price of the shares set forth in the option agreement. The exercise of stock appreciation rights is treated as the exercise of the underlying option. Options vest after one year and expire after not more than ten years. Prior to January 1, 2006, Suffolk accounted for that plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation costs were reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

On January 1, 2006 Suffolk adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). This statement supersedes APB No. 25. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. This statement was adopted using the modified prospective method of application, which requires the recognition of compensation expense on a prospective basis. Accordingly, prior periods have not been restated. This statement also revised SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which superseded APB No. 25. SFAS 123 required the disclosure of the effect on net income and earnings per share using fair value recognition provisions. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, $35,000 of compensation expense, net of a tax benefit of $24,000, was recorded for stock-based compensation. As of June 30, 2006, there was $138,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested options under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.58 months.

The following table illustrates what the effect on net income would have been during the comparable period in 2005 under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123:

Suffolk adopted FASB Interpretation 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” on January 1, 2003. FIN 45 requires a guarantor entity, at the inception of a guarantee covered by the measurement provisions of the interpretation, to record a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Suffolk has financial and performance letters of credit. Financial letters of credit require Suffolk to make payment if the customer’s financial condition deteriorates, as defined in the agreements. Performance letters of credit require Suffolk to make payments if the customer fails to perform certain non-financial contractual obligations. Previously, Suffolk did not record a liability when guaranteeing obligations unless it became probable that Suffolk would have to perform under the guarantee. FIN 45 applies prospectively to guarantees Suffolk issues or modifies subsequent to December 31, 2003. The maximum potential undiscounted amount of future payments of these letters of credit as of June 30, 2006 is $9,040,000 and they expire as follows:

 

    2006

     2,774

    2007

     4,937

    2008

     843

    2010

     312

Thereafter

     174
      
   $ 9,040
      

Amounts due under these letters of credit would be reduced by any proceeds that Suffolk would be able to obtain in liquidating the collateral for the loans, which varies depending on the customer.

In June 2005, the FASB decided not to provide additional guidance on the meaning of other-than-temporary impairment, but directed its staff to issue proposed FSP EITF 03-1-a, “Implementation Guidance for the Application of Paragraph 16 of EITF Issue No. 03-1,” as final. The final FSP will supersede EITF Issue No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” and EITF Topic No. D-44, “Recognition of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment upon the Planned Sale of a Security Whose Cost Exceeds Fair Value.” The final FSP (re-titled FSP FAS 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”) will replace the guidance set forth in paragraphs 10-18 of Issue 03-1 with references to existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance, such as FASB Statement No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities;” SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 59, “Accounting for Non-current Marketable Equity Securities;” and APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.” FASB Staff Position No. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (the “FSP”), were issued on November 3, 2005 and addresses the determination of when an investment is considered impaired; whether the impairment is other than temporary; and how to measure an impairment loss. The FSP replaces the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 03-1 with references to existing authoritative literature concerning other-than-temporary determinations, principally Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 59. Under the FSP, impairment losses

must be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the security’s cost and its fair value at the financial statement date, without considering partial recoveries subsequent to that date. The FSP also requires that an investor recognize an other-than-temporary impairment loss when a decision to sell a security has been made and the investor does not expect the fair value of the security to fully recover prior to the expected time of sale. The FSP is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Suffolk has adopted the provisions of FSP EITF 03-1a which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In May 2005, FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new principle. Statement No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements of changes in accounting principle, where practicable, and limits retrospective application of a change to direct effects of the change in accounting principle. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the period of accounting change. This statement is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years after December 15, 2005. Suffolk has adopted the provisions of FAS. No. 154 which did not have a material effect on either its consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

In March 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. This statement addresses the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. It requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations. Statement No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. An entity is permitted to choose from two measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities: an amortization method or fair value measurement method. This statement also permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights. Separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities are required. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. Suffolk is currently evaluating the impact of FAS. No. 156 on its financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.

On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 are to be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) for that fiscal year. The new interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing what the impact of this interpretation will be on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the Three-Month Periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005

Recent Developments

Interest rates have increased throughout the year. This lead to an increase in net interest margin, which increased to 5.15 percent in the second quarter of 2006, from 4.98 percent, in the second quarter of 2005.

Return on average equity increased, to 22.93 percent for the second quarter in 2006, up from 21.44 percent during the second quarter of 2005, and earnings-per-share increased from $.50 in the second quarter of 2005 to $.55 in the second quarter of 2006.

 

Page 10


Table of Contents

Key to maintaining performance was close management of the balance sheet. Steps included:

 

    Redirecting flow of investment from the consumer loan portfolio comprised primarily of indirect automobile paper, and the investment portfolio, to the commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios, as well as residential mortgages and construction loans.

 

    Pursuing ongoing program of capital management, which applies leverage to shareholders’ investment by means of the selective repurchase of shares, while maintaining “well-capitalized” status with regulatory agencies.

 

    Utilizing the market for wholesale funds to offset a decrease in deposits, the result of which is due to an unusually competitive environment. Demand deposits decreased 2.0 percent quarter to quarter, while savings, N.O.W. and money market deposits declined by 8.7 percent.

Net Income

Net income was $5,639,000 for the quarter, up 5.9 percent from $5,325,000 posted during the same period last year. Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.55 versus $0.50, an increase of 10.0 percent.

Interest Income

Interest income was $21,817,000 for the second quarter of 2006, up 17.0 percent from $18,653,000 posted for the same quarter in 2005. Average net loans during the second quarter of 2006 totaled $913,213,000 compared to $859,067,000 for the same period of 2005. During the second quarter of 2006, the yield on a fully taxable-equivalent basis was 6.70 percent on average earning assets of $1,328,358,000 up from 5.83 percent on average earning assets of $1,296,205,000 during the second quarter of 2005. Increases in interest income were attributable primarily to an increase in interest income on loans and obligations of states and political subdivisions.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2006 was $5,148,000, up 87.1 percent from $2,751,000 for the same period of 2005. During the second quarter of 2006, the cost of funds was 2.34 percent on average interest-bearing liabilities of $878,998,000, up from 1.27 percent on average interest-bearing liabilities of $864,303,000 during the second quarter of 2005. Interest expense increased primarily as a result of increases in market rates of interest, and increased interest on Federal funds purchased, repurchase agreements and other borrowings.

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, before the provision for loan losses, is the largest component of Suffolk’s earnings. It was $16,669,000 for the second quarter of 2006, up 4.8 percent from $15,902,000 during the same period of 2005. The net interest margin for the quarter, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 5.15 percent compared to 4.98 percent for the same period of 2005.

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Pension Funding Equity Act enacted in April 2004 on projected funding. There were no additional contributions required to be made to the plan in the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity totaled $100,091,000 on June 30, 2006, a decrease of 1.9 percent from $102,001,000 on December 31, 2005. This was the result of net income, offset by a combination of declines in the market value of securities available for sale; the repurchase of shares; and cash dividends. The ratio of equity to assets was 6.9 percent at June 30, 2006 and 7.2 percent at December 31, 2005.

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 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 loan losses.

 

Page 13


Table of Contents

The provision for the allowance for loan losses was $300,000 for the second quarter of 2006, and $375,000 for the comparable period in 2005. During the second quarter of 2006, the remainder of a large loan that is in litigation and not performing, previously disclosed and fully reserved, was charged off. Suffolk will continue to pursue all legal remedies to collect the balance of this loan. Management believes the circumstances particular to this loan are not reflective of systematic weakness in Suffolk’s loan portfolio or of its underwriting standards.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates

Suffolk’s accounting and reporting policies conform to the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Suffolk considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on management’s review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. All of these factors may change significantly. To the extent actual performance differs from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would reduce earnings in future periods.

Income Taxes

Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined by the difference between the financial statement, and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are subject to management’s judgment of available evidence that future realization is more likely than not. If management determines that Suffolk may be unable to realize all or part of the net deferred tax assets in the future, a direct charge to income tax expense may be required to reduce the recorded value of the net deferred tax asset to the amount management expects can be realized.

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 re-priced 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, 2005.

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.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Suffolk’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for Suffolk. Based upon their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006, the Certifying Officers have concluded that Suffolk’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

In addition, there has been no significant change in Suffolk’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during Suffolk’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Suffolk’s internal controls over financial reporting.
