SUFFOLK BANCORP ANNOUNCES EARNINGS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2007

Riverhead, New York, July 16, 2007 — Suffolk Bancorp (NASDAQ - SUBK) today released the results of its operations during the second quarter of 2007. Earnings-per-share for the quarter were $0.54, a decrease of 1.8 percent from $0.55 during the comparable period of 2006. Net income for the quarter was $5,332,000, down 5.4 percent from the same quarter last year. Earnings-per-share for the year to date were $1.04, a decrease of 1.0 percent from $1.05 during the comparable period of 2006. Net income for the year to date was $10,481,000, down 3.5 percent from the same period last year. A detailed financial summary follows the text of this release.

Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas S. Kohlmann, commented, “As we had expected, our earnings slowed during the past quarter as the industry sorts out the issues of unsustainable pricing and overcapacity, both nationally and regionally, as well as the implications of a yield curve that remained inverted until late in the quarter. Most fundamentally, while our interest income increased modestly by 2.5 percent, our cost of funding increased substantially by 23.9 percent, each in comparison to the second quarter of 2006. The most noticeable shift was out of less expensive savings, N.O.W., and money market deposits into higher-priced certificates of deposit with balances greater than $100,000, this primarily in response to intense competition on Long Island from new entrants trying to establish a position in our market. One of our key objectives has been to preserve both the quality and profitability of our loan portfolio in the face of similarly intense competition in our primary market. As a result, total assets remained essentially flat from year to year. This, in combination with costlier funding, resulted in contraction in our net interest income of 4.1 percent. Even with this, we were able to maintain a net interest margin (fully taxable equivalent) of 5.03 percent, among the best in the industry. Further, owing to tight capital management, we were able to limit the contraction in earnings per share to just 1.8 percent. Return on equity, the most important indicator of our performance and profitability, was 20.66 percent, or more than double that for the quarter most recently reported for banks in the New York metropolitan area where that measure amounted to 9.16 percent (Source – SNL Securities for the quarter ended March 31, 2007).”

Mr. Kohlmann continued, “The good news is that the yield curve has finally regained some upward slope, though admittedly shallow, which permits a more normal relationship between banking customers’ inclination to borrow over longer terms and deposit money for shorter terms. Rates on longer term money are also modestly higher than they have been over the past several years. The maturities of Suffolk Bancorp’s assets and liabilities are fairly closely matched over the next twelve months, so the effect of this development will take several quarters to find its way into our income statement. But in general, as long as the economy continues to expand, this is a positive development. We see further good news in the quality of our loan portfolio, with net recoveries for the quarter and the year-to date, and non-performing assets totaling less than $1 million against total loans of $927 million. Our Allowance for Loan Losses stands at a robust 7.91 times non-performing assets. As anyone who has followed our company for any length of time would expect, we have no exposure to the sub-prime markets, either directly in our own portfolio, or indirectly through the collateralized mortgage obligations in our investment portfolio.”

He finished saying, “This approach has positioned us well to navigate current uncertainties in the banking industry. We still face competition from weaker competitors whose practices occasionally puzzle us, but, in the long run, we see the best return to our shareholders in sticking to our basic objectives. Those revolve around providing small and medium-sized businesses, as well as professionals and our loyal retail customers, with the best and most responsive service possible. In developing these relationships over time, we build the stream of net revenue that supports the value of our shareholders’ investment in the long term.”

Suffolk Bancorp is a one-bank holding company engaged in the commercial banking business through Suffolk County National Bank, a full service commercial bank headquartered in Riverhead, New York. Organized in 1890, Suffolk County National Bank has 27 offices in Suffolk County, New York.
