NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Suffolk Bancorp (Suffolk) and its consolidated subsidiaries, primarily Suffolk County National Bank (the Bank), 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 in the United States of America (U.S. 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 Registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as amended.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation.
At June 30, 2011, Suffolk had one stock-based employee compensation plan, the Suffolk Bancorp 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), under which 500,000 shares of Suffolks common stock were originally reserved for issuance to key employees and directors, and of which none had yet been issued at June 30, 2011. 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 or cash 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 ten years except as otherwise specified in the option agreement.
Stock-based compensation for all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, is recorded in the financial statements based on their fair values. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, no compensation expense was recorded for stock-based compensation. As of June 30, 2011, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options under the Plan.
The following table presents the options granted, exercised, or expired under the 1999 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2011:

Options to purchase 86,184 shares of common stock at a price $31.18-$34.95 per share were outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and options to purchase 85,585 shares of common stock at a price $31.18-$34.95 per share were outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2010. None of these options was included in the computation of the diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the Consolidated Statements of Operation because of the net loss and the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. These options expire beginning in 2013 |
Suffolk uses an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not that a future benefit will be realized. It is managements position that no valuation allowance is necessary against any of Suffolks deferred tax assets. Suffolk accounts for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes, which prescribes the recognition and measurement criteria related to tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Suffolk had unrecognized tax benefits including interest of approximately $27,000 as of June 30, 2011. Suffolk recognizes interest and penalties accrued relating to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Suffolk records investments available for sale and impaired loans at fair value. Fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an exchange. The definition of fair value includes the exchange price which is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the principal market for the asset or liability. Market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique, as well as the effect of credit risk on the fair value of liabilities. Suffolk uses three levels of the fair value inputs to measure assets, as described below.
Page 7
Basis of Fair Value Measurement:
Level 1 - Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that use pricing models or matrix pricing;
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of Suffolks financial instruments. FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation: (in thousands)

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and may be based on judgments regarding losses expected in the future, risk, and other factors that are subjective in nature. The methods and assumptions used to produce the fair value estimates follow.
Short-term financial instruments are valued at the carrying amounts included in the consolidated statements of condition, which are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short term of the instruments. This approach applies to cash and cash equivalents; accrued interest and loan fees receivable; non-interest-bearing demand deposits; N.O.W., money market, and saving accounts; and accrued interest payable. Federal Home Loan Bank advances/borrowings are measured using a discounted replacement cost of funds approach.
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar characteristics. Loans are segregated by type. The fair value of performing loans was calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk of the loan. Estimated maturity is based on the Banks history of repayments for each type of loan and an estimate of the effect of the current economy. Fair value for significant non-performing loans is based on recent external appraisals of collateral, if any. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the associated risk. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are made using available market information and specific borrower information.

Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired. The loans are measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans, or techniques that are not based on market activity for loans that are not collateral dependent and require managements judgment. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. The value of real estate collateral is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by Suffolk. The value of business equipment may be based on an appraisal by qualified licensed appraisers hired by Suffolk if significant, or may be valued based on the equipments net book value on the business financial statements. Inventory and accounts receivable collateral may be valued based on independent field examiner review or aging reports, if significant. Reviews by field examiners may be conducted based on the loan exposure and reliance on this type of collateral. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on managements historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or managements expertise and knowledge of the client and clients business. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.
The fair value of the investment portfolio, including mortgage-backed securities, was based on quoted market prices or market prices of similar instruments.

The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most U.S. government debt and agency debt securities. Such instruments are generally classified within level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Suffolk does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments.
The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include state and municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Such instruments are generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides additional guidance in determining fair values when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, particularly when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It also provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with principles, reaffirming the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets become inactive.
The fair value of certificates of deposit is calculated by discounting cash flows with applicable origination rates. At June 30, 2011, the fair value of certificates of deposit totaling $292,476,000 had a carrying value of $290,520,000.
The fair value of commitments to extend credit was estimated by either discounting cash flows or using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties.
Page 10
Credit in the form of revolving open-end lines secured by one-to-four-family residential properties, commercial real estate, construction and land development loans, and lease financing arrangements was $95,520,000 and $123,672,000 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
The estimated fair value of written financial guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements. The contractual amounts of these commitments were $49,320,000 and $58,319,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fees charged for the commitments were not material in amount.

Management has considered factors such as market value, cash flows, and analysis of underlying collateral regarding other-than-temporarily impaired securities and determined that there are no other-than-temporarily impaired securities as of June 30, 2011.
The unrealized losses in collateralized mortgage obligations at June 30, 2011 were caused by changes in interest rates, a significant widening of credit spreads across markets for these securities, and illiquidity in the financial markets for these instruments. These securities include two private issues held at a continuous, unrealized loss for more than twelve months. Each of these securities has some level of credit enhancement, and none are collateralized by sub-prime loans. With the assistance of a third party, management reviews the characteristics of these securities periodically, including levels of delinquency and foreclosure, projected losses at various degrees of severity, and credit enhancement and coverage. These securities are performing according to their terms, and, in the opinion of management, will continue to do so.
Suffolk does not have the intent to sell these securities and does not anticipate that it will be necessary to sell these securities before the full recovery of principal and interest due, which may be at maturity. Therefore, Suffolk did not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2011.
In August 2011, in consultation with the Audit Committee, Suffolks management determined it was not properly identifying loan losses in the period incurred. This was the result of deficiencies in Suffolks internal controls with respect to credit administration and credit risk management, primarily with regard to risk-rating as well as with respect to the timing and recognition of charge-offs, impaired loans, and classified loans. As a result, certain loans should have been considered impaired, charged-off, or classified. The effect of these errors was recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Page 12
Suffolk takes into account applicable guidance under U.S. GAAP, including particularly ASC 855 Subsequent Events. Under this statement, subsequent events are defined as events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This statement requires that entities recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the balance sheet date, including any estimates underlying the financial statements. The entity should not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that arose after the balance sheet date, but should disclose those events which are so important that nondisclosure would make the financial statements misleading.
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the un-collectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in managements judgment, should be charged off.
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired.
A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that Suffolk will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as impaired. Generally, troubled debt restructurings are initially classified as non-accrual until sufficient time has passed to assess whether the restructured loan will continue to perform. Generally, Suffolk returns a troubled debt restructuring to accrual status upon six months of performance under the new terms.
Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrowers prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
Commercial and commercial real estate loans over $250,000 are individually evaluated for impairment. However, the independent review of the loan portfolio included selected loans with balances less than $250,000. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of homogeneous loans with smaller individual balances, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are evaluated collectively for impairment, and accordingly, are not separately identified for impairment disclosures. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loans effective rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be collateral-dependent, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, Suffolk determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.
The general component covers non impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience, adjusted for qualitative factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment, and is based on the actual loss history experienced by Suffolk over the historical loan loss period which is a rolling twelve month period. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These qualitative factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries; trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified:
| Commercial, financial & agricultural loans |
| Commercial real estate mortgages |
| Real estate construction loans |
| Residential mortgages (1st and 2nd liens) |
| Home equity loans |
| Consumer loans |
Page 13
This amount is determined by applying historical loss factors to pools of loans within the portfolio having similar risk characteristics.
In addition, the qualitative factors are considered for areas of concern that cannot be fully quantified in the allocation based on historical net charge-off ratios. Qualitative factors include:
| Economic outlook |
| Trends in delinquency and problem loans |
| Changes in loan volume and nature of terms of loans |
| Effects of changes in lending policy |
| Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff |
| Concentrations of credit |
| Effectiveness of loan review processes |
| Changes in value of underlying collateral |
| Competition, regulation, and other external factors |
For performing loans, an estimate of adequacy is made by applying qualitative factors specific to the portfolio to the period-end balances. Consideration is also given to the type and collateral of the loans with particular attention paid to commercial real estate construction loans, due to the inherent risk of this type of loan. Allocated and general reserves are available for any identified loss.
Delinquent, non-performing, and classified loans have trended upward. These are primary factors in the determination of the allowance.
At June 30, 2011, non-performing loans, including restructured and non-accrual loans totaled $58,599,000 as compared to $28,991,000 at December 31, 2010. When compared to total loans, non-performing loans rose to 5.53 percent at June 30, 2011, up from 2.61 percent at December 31, 2010. Commercial loans, commercial mortgages and commercial real estate construction loans were primarily responsible for the increase. Non-performing loans include all non-accrual loans.

Credit Quality Information
The Bank utilizes an eight-grade risk-rating system for commercial loans, commercial real estate and construction loans as follows:
Risk Grade 1 Excellent:
Loans secured by liquid collateral, such as certificates of deposit, reputable bank letters of credit, or other cash equivalents; loans that are guaranteed or otherwise backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government or an agency thereof, such as the Small Business Administration; or loans to any publicly held company with a current long-term debt rating of A or better.
Page 19
Risk Grade 2 Good:
Loans to businesses that have strong financial statements containing an unqualified opinion from a CPA firm and at least three consecutive years of profits; loans supported by un-audited financial statements containing strong balance sheets, five consecutive years of profits, a five-year satisfactory relationship with the Bank, and key balance sheet and income statement trends that are either stable or positive; loans secured by publicly traded marketable securities where there is no impediment to liquidation; loans to individuals backed by liquid personal assets, established credit history, and unquestionable character; or loans to publicly held companies with current long-term debt ratings of Baa or better.
Risk Grade 3 Satisfactory:
Loans supported by financial statements (audited or un-audited) that indicate average or slightly below average risk and having some deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic conditions; loans with some weakness but offsetting features of other support are readily available; loans that are meeting the terms of repayment, but which may be susceptible to deterioration if adverse factors are encountered.
Loans may be graded Satisfactory when there is no recent information on which to base a current risk evaluation and the following conditions apply:
| At inception, the loan was properly underwritten, did not possess an unwarranted level of credit risk, and the loan met the above criteria for a risk grade of Excellent, Good, or Satisfactory; |
| At inception, the loan was secured with collateral possessing a loan value adequate to protect the Bank from loss. |
| The loan has exhibited two or more years of satisfactory repayment with a reasonable reduction of the principal balance. |
| During the period that the loan has been outstanding, there has been no evidence of any credit weakness. Some examples of weakness include slow payment, lack of cooperation by the borrower, breach of loan covenants, or |
| The borrower is in an industry known to be experiencing problems. If any of these credit weaknesses is observed, a lower risk grade may be warranted. |
Risk Grade 4 Satisfactory/Monitored:
Loans in this category are considered to be of acceptable credit quality, but contain greater credit risk than satisfactory loans due to weak balance sheets, marginal earnings or cash flow, or other uncertainties. These loans warrant a higher than average level of monitoring to ensure that weaknesses do not advance. The level of risk in a Satisfactory/Monitored loan is within acceptable underwriting guidelines so long as the loan is given the proper level of management supervision.
Risk Grade 5 Special Mention:
Loans which possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness which deserves close attention. Such loans pose an unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan by adversely impacting the future repayment ability of the borrower. The key distinctions of a Special Mention classification are that (1) it is indicative of an unwarranted level of risk and (2) weaknesses are considered potential, not defined, impairments to the primary source of repayment.
Risk Grade 6 Substandard:
One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified Substandard:
| Loans which possess a defined credit weakness. The likelihood that a loan will be paid from the primary source of repayment is uncertain. Financial deterioration is under way and very close attention is warranted to ensure that the loan is collected without loss. |
| Loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor. |
| The primary source of repayment is gone, and the Bank is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment, such as collateral liquidation or guarantees. |
Page 20
| Loans have a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected. |
| Unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment. |
| The borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal; however, it continues to make interest payments. |
| The lender is forced into a subordinated or unsecured position due to flaws in documentation. |
| Loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms, and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to the normal loan terms. |
| The lender is seriously contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration in the loan. |
| There is a significant deterioration in market conditions to which the borrower is highly vulnerable. |
Risk Grade 7 Doubtful:
One or more of the following characteristics may be present in loans classified Doubtful:
| Loans have all of the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard. However, based on existing conditions, these weaknesses make full collection of principal highly improbable. |
| The primary source of repayment is gone, and there is considerable doubt as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment. |
| The possibility of loss is high but because of certain important pending factors which may strengthen the loan, loss classification is deferred until the exact status of repayment is known. |
Risk Grade 8 Loss:
Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuing to carry them as assets is not feasible. Loans will be classified Loss when it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be possible at some time in the future.
The Bank considers real estate, home equity and consumer loans secured by real estate (such as mobile homes) that are contractually past due 90 days or more or where legal action has commenced against the borrower to be substandard. The Bank follows the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Uniform Retail Credit Classification guidelines.
The Bank formally reviews the ratings on all commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and construction loans greater than $1 million annually. Quarterly, the Bank engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Other comprehensive income includes revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income but excluded from net income. Comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income are reported net of related income taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive income for the Bank consists of unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale, and gains or losses on the unfunded projected benefit obligation of the pension plan.

The unrealized gain on investment securities at June 30, 2011 is mainly attributable to an increase of $3,170,000 in the market value of obligations of state and political subdivisions, and in collateralized mortgage obligations of $41,000, offset by decreases of $155,000 in the market value of U.S. government agency debt, and $52,000 in the market value of U.S. treasury securities.
Suffolk accounts for its retirement plan in accordance with FASB ASC 715, Compensation Retirement Benefits and FASB ASC 960, Plan Accounting Defined Benefit Pension Plans, which require an employer that is a business entity and sponsors one or more single-employer defined benefit plans to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan in its statement of financial position; recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost; measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of fiscal year-end statements of financial position (with limited exceptions); and disclose in the notes to financial statements additional information about certain effects of net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset and obligation. Plan assets and benefit obligations shall be measured as of the date of its statement of financial position and in determining the amount of net periodic benefit cost. Suffolk has adopted the provisions of the codification, which have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of condition and disclosures.
Suffolk presents information concerning net periodic defined benefit pension expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, including the following components: (in thousands)

(9) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-01, which temporarily delays the effective date of the required disclosures about troubled debt restructurings contained in ASU No. 2010-20. The delay is intended to allow the FASB additional time to deliberate what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. All other amendments contained in ASU No. 2010-20 are effective as issued. Adoption of this update did not have a material effect on Suffolks results of operations or financial condition.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, which amends the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 310 Receivables. The update provides clarifying guidance as to what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The update provides clarifying guidance on a creditors evaluation of the following: (1) how a restructuring constitutes a concession; and (2) if the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual
Page 23
period of adoption. In addition, disclosures about troubled debt restructurings which were delayed by the issuance of ASU No. 2011-01, are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Adoption of this update did not have a material effect on Suffolks results of operations or financial condition.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, which amends the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 860 Transfers and Servicing. The amendments in this update remove from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. The amendments in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. Early adoption is not permitted. Adoption of this update did not have a material effect on Suffolks results of operations or financial condition.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, which amends the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement to more closely align GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This standard requires the disclosure of: (1) the reason for the measurement for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements; (2) all transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy must be separately reported and described; (3) for all Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements, a description of the valuation technique(s) and the inputs used in those measurements; (4) For Level 3 measurements, the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in those measurements; and (5) A description of the valuation processes used in Level 3 fair value measurements, as well as narrative descriptions about those measurements sensitivity to changes in unobservable inputs if such changes would significantly alter the fair value measurement. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and early application is not permitted. Adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on Suffolks results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 in order to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This standard eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. This update requires all non-owner changes in stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. This update is effective for public companies for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2011. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Adoption of this update is not expected to have a material effect on Suffolks results of operations or financial condition.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, to give both public and nonpublic entities the option to qualitatively determine whether they can bypass the two-step goodwill impairment test under FASB ASC 350-20, Intangibles Goodwill and Other. Under the new guidance, if an entity chooses to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that it is more likely than not (a more than 50 percent likelihood) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would then perform Step 1 of the annual goodwill impairment test in ASC 350-20 and, if necessary, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, no further evaluation would be necessary. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, although early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entitys financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. Suffolk has decided to adopt ASU 2011-08 effective in the third quarter of 2011. Adoption of this update did not have a material effect on Suffolks results of operations or financial condition.
On October 25, 2010, the Bank, following discussion with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC) entered into an agreement with the OCC (the Agreement). The Agreement requires the Bank to take certain actions, including a review of management, the establishment of a three-year strategic plan and capital program, and the establishment of programs related to internal audit, maintaining an adequate allowance for loan losses, real property appraisal, credit risk management, credit concentrations, Bank Secrecy Act compliance and information technology.
Page 24
Management and the board of directors are committed to taking all necessary actions to promptly address the requirements of the Agreement, and believe that the Bank has already made measurable progress in addressing these requirements. In connection with the foregoing, the Bank has retained legal and other resources including the services of a qualified compliance consultant to assist and advise in meeting the requirements of the Agreement.
The Bank is subject to individual minimum capital ratios (IMCRs) established by the OCC requiring Tier 1 Leverage Capital equal to at least 8.00 percent of adjusted total assets; Tier 1 Risk-based Capital equal to at least 10.50 percent of risk-weighted assets; and Total Risk Based Capital equal to at least 12.00 percent of risk-weighted assets. At June 30, 2011, management believes the Bank met two of the three IMCRs: Tier 1 Capital was 11.59 percent of risk-weighted assets and Total Risk Based Capital was 12.88 percent of risk-weighted assets. The Bank did not meet the IMCR for the Tier 1 Leverage ratio as Tier 1 Capital was 7.98 percent of adjusted total assets at June 30, 2011. The Bank met all three IMCRs at September 30, 2011: Tier 1 Capital was 8.50 percent of adjusted total assets, Tier 1 Capital was 12.53 percent of risk-weighted assets, and Total Risk Based Capital was 13.82 percent of risk-weighted assets. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Banks financial statements.
The Bank has notified its primary regulator that the Bank did not meet the IMCR for the Tier 1 Leverage ratio as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, but was in compliance as of September 30, 2011 requiring no further plan of action.
At June 30, 2011, Suffolks Tier 1 capital ratio was 8.03 percent of adjusted total assets, Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.66 percent of risk-weighted assets, and Total Risk Based capital ratio was 12.95 percent of risk-weighted assets.
The ability of the Bank to pay dividends to Suffolk is subject to certain regulatory restrictions. Generally, dividends declared in a given year by a national bank are limited to its net profit, as defined by regulatory agencies, for that year, combined with its retained net income for the preceding two years, less any required transfer to surplus or to fund for the retirement of any preferred stock of which the Bank has none as of June 30, 2011. In addition, a national bank may not pay any dividends in an amount greater than its undivided profits and a national bank may not declare any dividends if such declaration would leave the Bank inadequately capitalized. Therefore, the ability of the Bank to declare dividends will depend on its future net income and capital requirements. In addition, under the Agreement the Bank is required to establish a dividend policy that will permit the declaration of a dividend only when the Bank is in compliance with its capital program and with the prior written determination of no supervisory objection by the OCC.
While subject to the Agreement, Suffolk expects that its and the Banks management and board of directors will be required to focus a substantial amount of time on complying with its terms. There also is no guarantee that the Bank will be able to fully comply with the Agreement. If the Bank fails to comply with the terms of the Agreement, it could be subject to further regulatory enforcement actions.
On July 11, 2011 a shareholder derivative action, Robert J. Levy v. J. Gordon Huszagh, et al., No. 11 Civ. 3321 (JS), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the directors of Suffolk and a former officer of Suffolk. Suffolk was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint seeks damages against the individual defendants in an unspecified amount, and alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making improper statements regarding the sufficiency of Suffolks allowance for loan losses and loan portfolio credit quality, and by failing to establish sufficient allowances for loan losses and to establish effective credit risk management policies. On September 30, 2011, Suffolk and the directors filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.
On October 28, 2011, a separate shareholder derivative action, Susan Forbush v. Edgar F. Goodale, et al., No. 33538/11, was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of Suffolk, against the directors of Suffolk and a former officer of Suffolk. Suffolk was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint asserts claims that are substantially similar to those asserted in the Levy action.
On October 20, 2011, a putative shareholder class action, James E. Fisher v. Suffolk Bancorp, et al., No. 11 Civ. 5114 (SJ), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Suffolk, its chief executive officer, and a former chief financial officer of Suffolk. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by knowingly or recklessly making false statements about, or failing to disclose accurate information about, Suffolks financial results and condition, loan loss reserves, impaired assets, internal and disclosure controls, and banking practices. The complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount on behalf of purchasers of Suffolks common stock between March 12, 2010 and August 10, 2011.

The foregoing matters are in their preliminary phases and it is not possible to ascertain whether there is a reasonable possibility of a loss from these matters. Therefore, we have concluded that an amount for a loss contingency is not required to be accrued or disclosed at this time. Suffolk believes that it has substantial defenses to the claims filed against it in these lawsuits and, to the extent that these actions proceed, Suffolk intends to defend itself vigorously.
Suffolk has been informed that the SECs New York regional office is conducting an informal inquiry to determine whether there have been violations of the federal securities laws in connection with Suffolks financial reporting. The SEC has not asserted that any federal securities law violation has occurred. Suffolk believes it is in compliance with all federal securities laws and believes it has cooperated fully with the SECs informal inquiry. Although the ultimate outcome of the informal inquiry cannot be ascertained at this time, based upon information that presently is available to it, Suffolk does not believe that the informal inquiry, when resolved, will have a material adverse effect on Suffolks results of operations or financial condition.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Three and Six Month Periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
At Suffolk, net interest income decreased $1,456,000, or 7.5 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010. The decline in net interest income was driven by declines in both yields and balances of earning assets, and also by the temporary reinvestment of liquidity in low-yielding bank deposits, offset by an improvement in the Banks cost of deposits. See table on page 29. Interest income decreased $2,253,000, or 10.3 percent, and interest expense decreased $797,000, or 31.8 percent. The net interest margin decreased to 4.86 percent in the second quarter of 2011, down from 5.05 percent during the second quarter of 2010. The provision for loan losses increased by 7.8 percent over the second quarter of 2010, from $2,983,000 to $3,217,000.
In August 2011, in consultation with the Audit Committee, Suffolks management determined it was not properly identifying loan losses in the period incurred. This was the result of deficiencies in Suffolks internal controls with respect to credit administration and credit risk management, primarily with regard to risk-rating as well as with respect to the timing and recognition of charge-offs, impaired loans, and classified loans. As a result, certain loans should have been considered impaired, charged-off, or classified. The effects of these errors were recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the quarter ended September 30, 2010. At June 30, 2011, of the $58,599,000 of non-performing loans, $47,084,000 was secured by collateral valued at approximately $90,464,000, having an average loan-to-value ratio of approximately 52 percent. The unsecured portion of $11,515,000 amounted to 114 basis points of net loans at quarter end. To determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses Suffolk considered the status of non-performing loans on its books. Although Suffolk continues to work with borrowers to ensure the collection of nonperforming credits, some of these loans were being paid more slowly than originally anticipated. Non-performing loans secured by commercial real estate totaled $26,331,000, or 45.0 percent of total non-performing loans. The allowance is established through a provision for loan losses based on managements evaluation of the risk inherent in the various components of the loan portfolio and other factors, including Suffolks own historical loan loss experience as well as Suffolks peer bank loss experiences.
Non-performing assets as a percent of total assets were 212 basis points at June 30, 2010; 191 basis points at September 30, 2010; then 216 basis points at December 31, 2010; 320 basis points at March 31, 2011; and 383 basis points at June 30, 2011. Non-performing loans to total loans amounted to 311 basis points at June 30, 2010; 283 basis points at September 30, 2010; 261 basis points at December 31, 2010; 440 basis points at March 31, 2011; and 553 basis points at June 30, 2011. As non-performing loans, primarily non-accrual loans, remain non-accruing over a period of time, on the basis of objective and selective criteria, Suffolk may or may not elect to charge these and other loans off prudentially, even when they remain in collection and there is the reasonable remaining expectation of the recovery of amounts owed and expenses incurred in collection. These charge-offs may or may not mirror trends, on a trailing basis, in ratios of non-performing assets to total assets and non-performing loans to total loans. The amounts charged off may be substantial in comparison with Suffolks past loss history, although they may result in net recoveries at some point in the future if the economy improves and borrowers financial conditions strengthen, although there can be no assurance that this will happen. Further discussion concerning the determination of the provision for loan losses is found in the following under the caption, Allowance for Loan Losses.
Basic Performance and Current Activities
Return on average equity decreased to 9.90 percent for the second quarter of 2011, on an annualized basis, down from 13.75 percent during the second quarter of 2010, and basic earnings-per-share decreased from $0.50 in the second quarter of 2010 to $0.34 in the second quarter of 2011.
Continuing managerial emphasis included:
| Maintaining emphasis on both commercial and personal demand deposits, and non-maturity time deposits as a key part of relationships with customers while responding as necessary to demand in Suffolks market for certificates of deposit of all sizes. Suffolk continues its emphasis on the profitability of the whole relationship of its customers with the Bank, seeking when possible to both make loans to and obtain funding from the best qualified customers. |
| Managing net loan charge-offs and non-performing loans. During the second quarter of 2011, net charge-offs amounted to 0.33 percent of average net loans, on an annualized basis. Non-performing loans, those more than 90 days past due, increased. Lending staffs first efforts continue to be directed to the management of such credits, and then to developing new business with an emphasis on the most profitable customer relationships. |
Page 27
| Managing the investment portfolio in a difficult rate environment, reducing balances of municipal securities to moderate concentration risk, and paying down advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank to reduce liabilities, and increase leverage capital ratios, which was accomplished during the second quarter of 2011. |
Net income was $3,270,000 for the second quarter of 2011, down 31.8 percent from $4,792,000 posted during the same period last year. Basic earnings-per-share for the quarter was $0.34 versus earnings-per-share of $0.50, a decrease of 32.0 percent. The key reason for the decline was a decrease in net interest income of $1,456,000, from $19,344,000 to $17,888,000 and an increase in other expenses of $2,631,000. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was ($4,304,000), primarily attributable to a provision for loan losses of $23,188,000, compared to a provision for loan losses of $11,820,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net interest income decreased $2,295,000, or 6.0 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. In addition, other expense increased $4,521,000, or 18.6 percent, due in large part to outside services, including consulting services, which more than doubled year over year, from $919,000 to $1,998,000. FDIC assessments increased $759,000, or 61.9 percent. In addition, a prepayment fee of $1,028,000 was imposed by the Federal Home Loan Bank of NY for the early payoff of a term borrowing. Earnings (loss) per share went from $0.66 to ($0.44) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively.
Interest income was $19,596,000 for the second quarter of 2011, down 10.3 percent from $21,849,000 posted for the same quarter in 2010. Average net loans during the second quarter of 2011 totaled $1,080,789,000 compared to $1,145,213,000 for the same period of 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, the yield on a fully taxable-equivalent basis was 5.30 percent on average earning assets of $1,553,655,000, down from 5.67 percent on average earning assets of $1,612,752,000 during the second quarter of 2010. Interest income was $39,915,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, down 8.8 percent compared to $43,766,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Average interest earning assets decreased $58,262,000, coupled with a drop in the average rate earned of 28 basis points, from 5.67 percent to 5.39 percent. Year over year, the average balance of interest bearing deposits with banks increased from $3,025,000 to $53,041,000, with an average rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of 0.23 percent.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2011 was $1,708,000, down 31.8 percent from $2,505,000 for the same period of 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, the cost of funds was 0.72 percent on average interest-bearing liabilities of $943,304,000, down from 0.95 percent on average interest-bearing liabilities of $1,057,269,000 during the second quarter of 2010. Interest-bearing deposit rates decreased quarter over quarter. Interest expense decreased $1,556,000 year over year, due primarily to a lower cost of interest bearing deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2011 of 0.65 percent compared to 0.91 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Interest expense decreased from $4,215,000 to $2,966,000 for interest bearing deposits year over year.
A portion of the Banks demand deposits are reclassified as savings accounts on a daily basis. The purpose of the reclassification 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 these balances are classified as saving accounts for regulatory purposes, they are included in demand deposits in the accompanying consolidated statements of condition.
Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, is the largest component of Suffolks earnings. It was $17,888,000 for the second quarter of 2011, down 7.5 percent from $19,344,000 during the same period of 2010. The net interest margin for the quarter, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 4.86 percent compared to 5.05 percent for the same period of 2010. Net interest income decreased 5.9 percent, from $38,590,000 to $36,295,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The net interest margin on a fully taxable-equivalent basis decreased 11 basis points, from 5.03 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 4.92 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The cost of interest-bearing funds decreased from 0.97 percent to 0.76 percent; however the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased from 5.67 percent to 5.39 percent, or 28 basis points.
Page 28
In June 2011, Suffolk sold approximately $40,000,000 of municipal investment securities resulting in a net gain of approximately $1,645,000. Suffolk pre-paid fixed rate borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of NY in the amount of $40,000,000, incurring a prepayment fee of $1,028,000. These actions are part of the Banks strategy to increase the Banks capital ratios and to reduce risk in the municipal portfolio by selling lower-rated securities, as well as to eliminate a higher-cost source of funds.

The table below presents a summary of changes in interest income, interest expense, and the resulting net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis for the quarterly periods presented. Because of numerous, simultaneous changes in volume and rate during the period, it is not possible to allocate precisely the changes between volumes and rates. In the following table changes not due solely to volume or to rate have been allocated to these categories based on percentage changes in average volume and average rate as they compare to each other: (in thousands)

The table below presents a summary of changes in interest income, interest expense, and the resulting net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis for the years-to-date presented. Because of numerous, simultaneous changes in volume and rate during the period, it is not possible to allocate precisely the changes between volumes and rates. In the following table changes not due solely to volume or to rate have been allocated to these categories based on percentage changes in average volume and average rate as they compare to each other: (in thousands)

Other income increased to $4,103,000 for the quarter compared to $2,622,000 the previous year, up 56.50 percent primarily due to a gain on sale of securities of $1,645,000. Service charges on deposits were down 20.4 percent, attributable to a change in Federal Reserve Regulation E in July 2010 prohibiting banks from charging overdraft fees to consumer accounts for which debit card usage effected an overdraft. In addition, the daily administrative review fees were also terminated at this point. Prior to July 2010, the Bank charged an overdraft fee as well as a daily administrative review fee for as many days as the account remained overdrawn. Service charges, including commissions and fees other than for deposits, were virtually unchanged. Fiduciary fees were down 1.90 percent and other operating income increased by 25.0 percent. Other income
Page 31
increased $1,194,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase is primarily due to a net gain on sale of securities of $1,645,000 in the second quarter of 2011. Offsetting this increase was a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of $519,000, or 20.5 percent.
Other expense for the second quarter of 2011 was $15,030,000, up 21.2 percent from $12,399,000 for the comparable period in 2010. FDIC assessments increased by $231,000, or 37.0 percent, as a result of increased deposits and higher assessment rates. Other increases include employee compensation of 8.0 percent, net occupancy expense of 12.3 percent, and other operating expense of 54.8 percent. Suffolk incurred a prepayment fee of $1,028,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank of NY for the early payoff of a term borrowing. Equipment expense decreased by 13.0 percent. Other expense increased $4,521,000, or 18.6 percent, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Salaries and employee benefits was up $1,092,000, or 7.7 percent, occupancy expense was up $262,000, or 9.7 percent, outside services, including consulting expenses, increased $1,079,000, or 117.4 percent, FDIC assessments increased $759,000, or 61.9 percent, and other operating expenses were up $310,000, or 7.5 percent.
Stockholders equity totaled $135,116,000 on June 30, 2011, a decrease of 1.25 percent from $136,820,000 on December 31, 2010. This was the result of a net loss and partially offset by an increase in the market value of securities available for sale. The ratio of equity to assets was 8.16 percent at June 30, 2011 and 8.51 percent at December 31, 2010, respectively.

The Bank is subject to individual minimum capital ratios (IMCRs) established by the OCC requiring Tier 1 Leverage Capital equal to at least 8.00 percent of adjusted total assets; Tier 1 Risk-based Capital equal to at least 10.50 percent of risk-weighted assets; and Total Risk Based Capital equal to at least 12.00 percent of risk-weighted assets. At June 30, 2011, management believes the Bank met two of the three IMCRs: Tier 1 Capital was 11.59 percent of risk-weighted assets and Total Risk Based Capital was 12.88 percent of risk-weighted assets. The Bank did not meet the IMCR for the Tier 1 Leverage ratio as Tier 1 Capital was 7.98 percent of adjusted total assets at June 30, 2011. The Bank met all three IMCRs at September 30, 2011: Tier 1 Capital was 8.50 percent of adjusted total assets, Tier 1 Capital was 12.53 percent of risk-weighted assets, and Total Risk Based Capital was 13.82 percent of risk-weighted assets.
The Bank has notified its primary regulator that the Bank did not meet the IMCR for the Tier 1 Leverage ratio as of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, but was in compliance as of September 30, 2011 requiring no further plan of action.

Suffolk makes loans based on its evaluation 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 managements judgment as well as quantitative evaluation. Estimates should produce an allowance that will provide for a range of losses. According to U.S. GAAP, a financial institution should record its best estimate. Appropriate factors contributing to the estimate may include changes in the composition of the institutions assets, or potential economic slowdowns or downturns. Also important is the geographical or political environment in which the institution operates.
Suffolks management considers all of these factors when determining the provision for loan losses. As required by the Agreement with the OCC, Suffolk is in the process of establishing a program to improve credit risk management and implementing an asset diversification program. Please refer to the discussion of the allowance for loan losses below.
Suffolk has financial and performance letters of credit. Financial letters of credit require Suffolk to make payments if the customers 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. The maximum potential undiscounted amount of future payments of these letters of credit as of June 30, 2011 is $21,228,000 and they expire as follows: (in thousands)

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. The allowance for contingent liabilities includes a provision of $32,000 for losses based on the letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2011.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
Suffolks accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. GAAP and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
On October 25, 2010, the Bank entered into an agreement with the OCC (the Agreement) which required the Bank to, among other things, review its allowance for loan losses policy. In August 2011, in consultation with the Audit Committee, Suffolks management determined it was not properly identifying loan losses in the period incurred. This was the result of deficiencies in Suffolks internal controls with respect to credit administration and credit risk management, primarily with regard to risk-rating as well as with respect to the timing and recognition of charge-offs, impaired loans, and classified loans. As a result, certain loans should have been considered impaired, charged-off, or classified. The effect of these errors was recorded in the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Suffolk takes into account applicable guidance under U.S. GAAP, including particularly ASC 855 - Subsequent Events. Under this statement, subsequent events are defined as events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This statement requires that entities recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the balance sheet date, including any estimates underlying the financial statements. The entity should not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that arose after the balance sheet date, but should disclose those events which are so important that nondisclosure would make the financial statements misleading.
Suffolk considers the determination of the allowance for loan losses to involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loan losses (ALLL) is determined by continuous analysis of the loan portfolio. That analysis includes changes in the size and composition of the portfolio, historical loan losses, industry-wide losses, current and anticipated economic trends, and details about individual loans. It also includes estimates of the actual value of collateral and other possible sources of repayment. Suffolk maintains an ALLL at a level management believes will be adequate to absorb known and inherent losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on an evaluation of their collectibility; however, the determination of the allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates, all of which may be subject to significant change. When a loan, in full or in part, is deemed uncollectible, it is charged against the allowance. This happens when it is well past due and the borrower has not shown the ability or intent to make the loan current, or the borrower does not have enough assets to pay the debt, or the value of the collateral is less than the balance of the loan and not likely to improve soon. Residential real estate and consumer loans are analyzed as a group and not individually because of the large number of loans, small balances, and historically low losses. In the future, the provision for loan losses may change as a percentage of total loans. The percentage of net charge-offs to average net loans during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 0.16 percent compared to 1.42 percent in 2010 and 0.09 percent in 2009 for the respective three month periods ended June 30th. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans, net of discounts, was 4.71 percent at June 30, 2011, compared to 2.56 percent at the end of 2010, and 1.06 percent in 2009.

Suffolks underwriting standards generally require a loan-to-value ratio of 75 percent or less, and when applicable, a debt coverage ratio of at least 120 percent, at the time a loan is originated. Suffolk has not been directly affected by the increase in defaults of sub-prime mortgages as Suffolk does not originate, or hold in portfolio, sub-prime mortgages. The allowance for loan loss analysis includes changes in the size and composition of the portfolio, Suffolks own historical loan losses, current and anticipated economic trends, and details about individual loans. It also includes estimates of the actual value of collateral, other possible sources of repayment and estimates that are susceptible to significant changes due to changes in appraisal values of collateral, national and regional economic conditions, and other factors. The analysis also considers the loan loss history of Suffolks peers with similar characteristics. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, Suffolk reviews its loan portfolio by separate categories which have similar risk and collateral characteristics; e.g. commercial loans, commercial real estate, construction loans, residential mortgages, home equity loans, and consumer loans. Management conducts a monthly analysis of the loan portfolio which evaluates any loan designated as having a high risk profile including but not limited to, loans classified as Substandard or Doubtful as defined by regulation, loans criticized internally or designated as Special Mention, delinquencies, expirations, overdrafts, loans to customers having experienced recent operating losses and loans identified by management as impaired. The analysis is performed to determine the amount of the allowance which would be adequate to absorb probable losses contained in the loan portfolio. The analytical process is regularly reviewed and adjustments may be made based on the assessments of internal and external influences on credit quality. See Note (6), Allowance for Loan Losses, to the notes to the unaudited financial statements.

Suffolk believes the allowance is adequate to absorb inherent and known losses in the loan portfolio; however, the determination of the allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates, all of which may be subject to significant changes. When a loan, in full or in part, is deemed uncollectible, it is charged against the allowance. This happens when it is past due and the borrower has not shown the ability or intent to make the loan current, or the borrower does not have enough assets to pay the debt, or the value of the collateral is less than the balance of the loan and not likely to improve soon. In the future, the allowance for loan losses may change as a percentage of total loans. To the extent actual performance differs from managements estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would reduce or may substantially reduce earnings in future periods, and no assurances can be given that Suffolk will not sustain loan losses, in any particular period, that are sizable in relation to the allowance for loan losses.

Generally, recognition of interest income is discontinued when reasonable doubt exists as to whether interest can be collected. Ordinarily, loans no longer accrue interest when 90 days past due. When a loan stops accruing interest, all interest accrued in the current year, but not collected, is reversed against interest income in the current year. Loans start accruing interest again when they become current as to principal and interest, and when, in the opinion of management, they can be collected in full.

Interest on loans that are no longer accruing interest would have amounted to about $963,000 and $1,764,000, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 under the contractual terms of those loans. Suffolk records the payment of interest on such loans as a reduction of principal. Suffolk has a formal procedure for internal credit review to more precisely identify risk and exposure in the loan portfolio.

Impaired loans are segregated and reviewed separately. Impaired loans secured by collateral are reviewed based on their collateral and the estimated time required to recover Suffolks investment in the loan as well as the cost of doing so, and the estimate of the recovery anticipated. Reserves are allocated to impaired loans based on this review. The allocated reserve is an estimation of losses specific to individual impaired loans. Allocated reserves are established based on an analysis of the most probable sources of repayment and liquidation of collateral. Reserves allocated to impaired loans were $17.7 million and $9.4 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. While every non-performing loan is evaluated individually, not every loan requires an allocated reserve. Allocated reserves fluctuate based on changes in the underlying loans, anticipated sources of repayment, and charge-offs.
See also summary of impaired loans in Note (6), Allowance for Loan Losses, in the financial statements.
Impairment reserves were assigned to approximately $60,299,000 or 48 percent of our impaired loans as of June 30, 2011 with the assistance of a third-party appraisal. As of December 31, 2010, impairment reserves were assigned to approximately $49,097,000 or 49 percent of our impaired loans. Collateral-dependent loans are evaluated for impairment when a loan becomes 90 days past due or another impairment indicator is identified. At the time a loan is evaluated for impairment, an appraisal is ordered from an independent third-party licensed appraiser for loans in excess of $250,000. Typically, it takes approximately 30-90 days to receive and review the appraisal on a commercial real estate mortgage. To date, Suffolk has not experienced any significant delays between ordering appraisals and recognizing charge-offs. While waiting for an updated appraisal, we continue to contact the borrower to arrange a payment plan and monitor for any payment. Since the majority of the collateral securing impaired loans are within our local market, an officer of the Bank may drive by to make an initial assessment of the propertys condition.
At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, impaired loans totaling $66,587,000 and $51,144,000, respectively, require no associated valuation allowance. For these loans, an evaluation for impairment was completed but, due the banks collateral position, no valuation allowance was required. The required allowance is calculated based upon the appraisal methodology described above for collateral-dependent loans. For non-collateral-dependent loans, the allowance is based on the present value of future cash flows. As measuring impairment is an estimate which requires judgment, future results of operations may be negatively affected by outcomes different from those estimated.
Suffolk evaluates classified and criticized loans that are not impaired by categorizing loans by type of risk and applying reserves based on loan type and corresponding risk. Suffolk also records reserves on Suffolks non-criticized and non-classified loan balances. This represents a general allowance for homogeneous loan pools where the loans are not individually evaluated for impairment, though rated according to loan product type and risk rating.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, interest income totaling $1,962,000 and $1,094,000, respectively, was recognized on impaired loans. Cash basis interest income recognized on those loans during that period was immaterial.
Restructured loans totaled $31,277,000 at June 30, 2011 and $24,044,000 at December 31, 2010, and are considered to be impaired loans. Included in non-performing loans are restructured loans of $22,874,000 at June 30, 2011 that is no longer accruing interest. Subsequent to restructure, there has been $617,000 in advances funded on non-performing restructured loans outstanding as of June 30, 2011.
The loans that have been restructured have been modified as to interest rate, due dates, or extension of the maturity date. Restructured loans are considered to be non-accrual loans, if at the time of restructuring the loan was deemed non-accrual. Once a sufficient amount of time has passed, generally six months, if the restructured loan has performed under the modified terms, the loan is returned to accrual status. In addition to the passage of time, we also consider the collateral value and the ability of the borrower to continue to make payments in accordance with the modified terms. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no restructured loans returned to accrual status.
As of both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we have not performed any commercial real estate (CRE) or other type of loan workouts whereby an existing loan was restructured into multiple new loans.
The total balance of OREO, which is recorded at fair value, less estimated selling costs, was $1,800,000 at June 30, 2011.
As of June 30, 2011, classified loans amounted to 21.1 percent of total loans, as compared with 15.6 percent at December 31, 2010. The increase is attributable to the prolonged national and regional economic slowdown, along with a more objective review of the portfolio noted elsewhere in this filing.
Real estate construction loans amounted to $68,148,000 as of June 30, 2011. Non-performing real estate construction loans totaled $11,063,000, which is 16.2 percent of the real estate construction portfolio.

See also Note (6) Allowance for Loan Losses, in the financial statements.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
Suffolk recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes occur when income taxes are allocated through time. Some items are temporary, resulting from differences in the timing of a transaction under generally accepted accounting principles, and for the computation of income tax. Examples would include the future tax effects of temporary differences for such items as deferred compensation and the provision for loan losses. Estimates of deferred tax assets are based upon evidence available to management that future realization is more likely than not. If management determines that Suffolk may be unable to realize all or part of 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 that management expects to realize. At June 30, 2011, Suffolk believes the deferred tax is fully realizable.
Page 39
Suffolk evaluates unrealized losses on securities to determine if any reduction in the fair value is other than temporary. This amount will continue to be dependent on market conditions, the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances of the issuer of the security, and Suffolks intent and ability to hold the impaired investment at the time the valuation is made. If management determines that impairment in the investments value is other than temporary, earnings would be charged.
Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Suffolk originates and invests in interest-earning assets and solicits interest-bearing deposit accounts. Suffolks 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. Suffolks 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 Suffolks 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 Suffolks investment in loans and securities. Suffolks exposure to interest-rate risk has not changed substantially since December 31, 2010.
Business Risks and Uncertainties
This report contains some statements that look to the future. These may include remarks about Suffolk Bancorp, the banking industry, the economy in general, expectations of the business environment in which Suffolk operates, projections of future performance, and potential future credit experience. These forward-looking statements are based upon current management expectations, and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and are beyond Suffolks control and are subject to a variety of uncertainties that could cause future results to vary materially from Suffolks historical performance, or from current expectations. Factors affecting Suffolk include particularly, but are not limited to: changes in interest rates; increases or decreases in retail and commercial economic activity in Suffolks 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; results of regulatory examinations; any failure by us to comply with our written agreement with the OCC or the individual minimum capital ratios for the Bank established by the OCC; the cost of compliance with the Agreement; failure by us to restore and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures;, potential litigation or regulatory action relating to the matters resulting in our failure to file this Form 10-Q on time or resulting from the revisions to our earnings previously announced on April 12, 2011; or the restatement of our financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010; and the potential that net charge-offs are higher than expected. 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 operations.
Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
Suffolks Chief Executive Officer who is also Acting Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the Certifying Officers) evaluated the effectiveness of Suffolks disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2011 in connection with the filing of the initial Form 10-Q for that period.
The Certifying Officers evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011. Based on that evaluation, and in light of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that existed throughout this quarter as described below, management concluded that Suffolks disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2011.
Suffolks management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
Because of their inherent limitations, systems of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Page 40
A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a timely basis by Suffolks internal controls.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
Estimating the allowance for loan losses requires credit administration staff to identify and evaluate borrowers ability to repay their obligations through periodic evaluation and reevaluation of cash flow and/or collateral, and, when necessary, making provision for the amount deemed being likely not to be repaid. Suffolk identified deficiencies within the credit administration function which compromised the operational effectiveness of the internal controls, particularly in making timely reevaluations of credit and/or collateral. This led to managements determination that there was a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in estimating the allowance for loan losses.
Financial Reporting Staffing Resources
Management concluded that a material weakness exists due to insufficient staffing resources that are in dedicated permanent positions within the accounting function with sufficient skills and industry knowledge of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (US GAAP) and regulatory accounting, which resulted in insufficient documentation and monitoring over the financial reporting cycle, including preparing financial statements and disclosures. Among other factors identified, approximately six months have passed since the prior Chief Financial Officer resigned as of June 24, 2011 and Suffolk has yet to fill the position. Suffolk immediately engaged an interim accounting consultant to assist with financial reporting in the meantime; however, the individual is not an officer of Suffolk. Suffolks President and Chief Executive Officer was appointed as Acting Chief Financial Officer until a permanent Chief Financial Officer is hired, representing a significant concentration of authority in one individual.
Interdepartmental Communications
A material weakness exists due to insufficient communications at the interdepartmental levels. There was inconsistent exchange of important financial information between Suffolks accounting and operating functions that led to errors in classifying loans as performing loans when the loans were non-performing. That was one factor resulting in the allowance for loan and lease losses to be understated as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, as described above at Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.
Governance and Management Accountability
The Board of Directors is responsible for competent and effective oversight and leadership of the Companys management and to ensure accountability of management. The material weaknesses related to the allowance for loan and lease losses, financial reporting staffing resources and interdepartmental communications, as well as delays in processes surrounding the completion of restated and current financial statements, and the untimely correction of deficiencies previously identified by regulators, are reflective of a material weakness in the Board of Directors as it relates to the foregoing matters.
Suffolk has implemented certain changes in its internal controls as of the date of this report to address the material weaknesses. Specifically, management took the following steps to remediate the material weaknesses set forth above:
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
1. | Hired a new Chief Lending Officer during the second quarter of 2011. |
2. | Improved staff by hiring a new loan administrator, additional underwriting staff and a loan workout specialist. |
3. | Reorganized the credit department to ensure appropriate separation of duties and developed expanded training for Suffolks lenders. |
4. | Hired a senior credit officer to run a newly created separate loan review and workout department. |
Page 41
5. | Changed Suffolks credit policy to require identification of concentrations of risk, analysis of our customers global cash flows, reappraisal and re-evaluation of collateral, more accurate and timely credit-risk rating procedures and improved underwriting processes and standards. |
6. | Incorporated the results of a systematic re-appraisal of commercial real estate which secures loans in excess of $1 million. |
7. | Engaged qualified outside consultants to assist in re-evaluating risk ratings. |
8. | Improved the processes for identifying impaired loans and the determination of the amount of impairment. |
9. | Augmented Suffolks credit policy to govern loan workout. |
10. | Implemented a new procedure to ensure that OREO was accounted for in accordance with US GAAP. |
Financial Reporting Staffing Resources
11. | Initiated a search for a qualified Chief Financial Officer with sufficient knowledge of US GAAP, regulatory accounting and the banking industry and the skills to effectively implement that knowledge. |
12. | Engaged a qualified consultant in financial reporting and the function of the Chief Financial Officer to assist the Acting Chief Financial Officer in maintaining and improving controls. |
13. | Increased oversight of the financial reporting process through the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee, the latter of which meets at least monthly or more often. |
14. | Created and filled the new position of Treasurer to further relieve the Chief Financial Officer of day-to-day duties in asset liability management, investment portfolio management and additional treasury functions. |
15. | Enhanced procedures to ensure that all reconciliations of all departments are completed and reviewed to ensure accuracy. |
16. | Compiled individual policies into comprehensive written policies and procedures for the accounting function which will include specific policies, procedures and controls for financial reporting. |
17. | Increased automation of the accounting and financial reporting process to free staff resources to focus on financial reporting. |
Interdepartmental Communications
18. | Established a process for both credit and finance staff to review the computation of specific impairment allowances under ASC 310-10 Receivables Impairment of a Loan and establishing enhanced reporting from core systems available directly to personnel in accounting and finance. |
Governance and Management Accountability
19. | Formed a Compliance Committee of the Board to oversee compliance and, later, to respond to the Formal Agreement. |
20. | Implemented procedures to track all regulatory compliance through structured matrices. |
21. | Engaged qualified independent consultants to assist with compliance with the Formal Agreement, including an assessment of key management roles. |
22. | Outsourced the internal audit function to a qualified risk management firm to provide greater independence and depth to the function. |
23. | Appointed a Vice Chairman of the Board to provide daily oversight of management on behalf of the full Board and to communicate back to the Board. |
24. | Engaged a qualified independent consultant to advise the Board on various regulatory, strategic and operational issues. |
Page 42
In connection with the remediation referred to above, certain changes to the internal control over financial reporting have occurred during the second quarter of 2011 that are reasonably likely to materially affect Suffolks internal control over financial reporting. These changes included the implementation of remediation steps 1, 7, 8 and 10 described above.
Suffolk cannot determine the impact of the remediation at this time.
Page 43
On July 11, 2011 a shareholder derivative action, Robert J. Levy v. J. Gordon Huszagh, et al., No. 11 Civ. 3321 (JS), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the directors of Suffolk and a former officer of Suffolk. Suffolk was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint seeks damages against the individual defendants in an unspecified amount, and alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by making improper statements regarding the sufficiency of Suffolks allowance for loan losses and loan portfolio credit quality, and by failing to establish sufficient allowances for loan losses and to establish effective credit risk management policies. On September 30, 2011, Suffolk and the directors filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.
On October 28, 2011, a separate shareholder derivative action, Susan Forbush v. Edgar F. Goodale, et al., No. 33538/11, was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of Suffolk, against the directors of Suffolk and a former officer of Suffolk. Suffolk was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint asserts claims that are substantially similar to those asserted in the Levy action.
On October 20, 2011, a putative shareholder class action, James E. Fisher v. Suffolk Bancorp, et al., No. 11 Civ. 5114 (SJ), was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Suffolk, its chief executive officer, and a former chief financial officer of Suffolk. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by knowingly or recklessly making false statements about, or failing to disclose accurate information about, Suffolks financial results and condition, loan loss reserves, impaired assets, internal and disclosure controls, and banking practices. The complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount on behalf of purchasers of Suffolks common stock between March 12, 2010 and August 10, 2011.
The foregoing matters are in their preliminary phases and it is not possible to ascertain whether there is a reasonable possibility of a loss from these matters. Therefore, we concluded that an amount for a loss contingency is not required to be accrued or disclosed at this time. Suffolk believes that it has substantial defenses to the claims filed against it in these lawsuits and, to the extent that these actions proceed, Suffolk intends to defend itself vigorously.
Suffolk has been informed that the SECs New York regional office is conducting an informal inquiry to determine whether there have been violations of the federal securities laws in connection with Suffolks financial reporting. The SEC has not asserted that any federal securities law violation has occurred. Suffolk believes it is in compliance with all federal securities laws and believes it has cooperated fully with the SECs informal inquiry. Although the ultimate outcome of the informal inquiry cannot be ascertained at this time, based upon information that presently is available to it, Suffolk does not believe that the informal inquiry, when resolved, will have a material adverse effect on Suffolks results of operations or financial condition.
There are no material changes from any of the risk factors previously disclosed in Suffolks 2010 Form 10-K in response to Part I, Item 1A, except as follows:
As of June 30 2011, the Bank failed to maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of at least equal to 8.00 percent of adjusted total assets as required by the OCC; further increases to Suffolks allowance for loan losses would negatively impact its capital levels, causing the Bank to fail to be in compliance with the ratios established by the OCC, which could result in further regulatory enforcement actions.
The Bank is subject to individual minimum capital ratios (IMCRs) established by the OCC requiring Tier 1 Leverage Capital equal to at least 8.00 percent of adjusted total assets; Tier 1 Risk-based Capital equal to at least 10.50 percent of risk-weighted assets; and Total Risk Based Capital equal to at least 12.00 percent of risk-weighted assets. At June 30, 2011, management believes the Bank met two of the three IMCRs: Tier 1 Capital was 11.59 percent of risk-weighted assets and Total Risk Based Capital was 12.88 percent of risk-weighted assets. The Bank did not meet the IMCR for the Tier 1 Leverage ratio as Tier 1 Capital was 7.98 percent of adjusted total assets at June 30, 2011. The Bank met all three IMCRs at September 30, 2011: Tier 1 Capital was 8.50 percent of adjusted total assets, Tier 1 Capital was 12.53 percent of risk-weighted assets, and Total Risk Based Capital was 13.82 percent of risk-weighted assets. Further increases to Suffolks allowance for loan losses, however, could negatively impact the Banks capital levels and make it difficult to maintain the capital levels directed by the OCC. If the Bank fails to maintain the required capital levels, it could be subject to further regulatory enforcement actions.

The revisions to Suffolks earnings previously announced on April 12, 2011, and the restatement of Suffolks financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2010, has resulted in additional costs to Suffolk and may cause Suffolk to incur further costs or result in regulatory action or litigation against Suffolk which could adversely affect its results of operation or financial condition.
On April 12, 2011, Suffolk released preliminary earnings for the first quarter of 2011. Following that release, but prior to the regulatory deadline to file its Form 10-Q, management identified possible deficiencies and/or weaknesses in Suffolks internal controls with respect to credit administration and credit risk management, primarily with respect to the timing of the recognition of credit risk, as well as with regard to risk rating which affected the computation of the allowance for loan losses. On May 11, 2011, Suffolk announced that it would be delayed in filing its Form 10-Q. Suffolk retained independent consultants specializing in the evaluation and computation of the allowance for loan losses that conducted an independent review of Suffolks loan files with respect to the correct risk-rating of credits, and to the extent possible, to evaluate when that rating might correctly have been determined, and finally, where applicable, what the correct specific impairment allowance should be. The result of the reevaluation and re-computation of the allowance for loan losses was an increase in the specific impairment allowances, offset by a decrease in the qualitative reserve percentages, resulting in an overall increase in the total allowance over that announced on April 12, 2011. On August 12, 2011, Suffolk announced that the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors had concluded that Suffolks previously issued financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, the quarter ended December 31, 2010 and the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as reported in Suffolks Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, respectively, should no longer be relied upon due to an understatement of its allowance for loan losses in such periods. The reevaluation and restatement process has resulted in additional costs to Suffolk and may cause Suffolk to incur further costs that could adversely affect its results of operation or financial condition. The revisions to our earnings previously announced on April 12, 2011 and the restatement of our financial statements may also result in regulatory action or litigation against Suffolk, which could adversely affect our results of operation or financial condition.
A failure to restore and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.
During April of 2011, management identified possible deficiencies and/or weaknesses in Suffolks internal controls related to the design and implementation of policies to promptly identify problem loans and to quantify the elements of risk in problem loans. After conducting an internal review, management determined that there were material weaknesses related to the allowance for loan and lease losses, financial reporting staffing resources, interdepartmental communications and governance and management accountability. See Part I, Item 4Controls and Procedures. Suffolk has incurred costs and implemented certain changes in its internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures to address these material weaknesses. It is too early to determine the impact of these remediation steps and Suffolk has not yet determined that it has restored effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. It is possible that additional deficiencies or weaknesses could be identified. A failure to restore and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.
Potential impairment in the carrying value of our goodwill could negatively impact our earnings and capital.
At June 30, 2011, we had goodwill totaling $814,000. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Given the current economic environment, we could be required to evaluate the recoverability of goodwill prior to our normal annual assessment if we experience disruption in our business and/or sustained market capitalization declines. These types of events and the resulting analyses could result in goodwill impairment charges in the future. These non-cash impairment charges could adversely affect our results of operations in future periods.

In the event of a termination of your employment by the Bank without cause (and other than due to your disability) during the Protected Period, you will be entitled to a lump sum payment composed of two parts, the first of which is equal to the product of (i) the sum of your annual salary (as set forth in the letter from the Bank to you dated May 2, 2011), and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of full months remaining in the Protected Period as of your date of termination, and the denominator of which shall be 12 (the Severance Payment); and the second of which is equal to your guaranteed first year bonus (also as detailed in the letter of May 2, 2011). Your right to the Severance Payment will be contingent upon your execution and delivery within 45 days of your termination of employment (and non-revocation) of a release of claims in the form requested by the Bank (the Release). The Severance Payment will be paid to you in cash within ten days of the date on which a timely delivered Release becomes irrevocable.
For purposes of this letter, cause shall mean (i) your indictment for, or plea of guilty or no contest to, a felony or any violation of law in connection with the performance of your duties or involving the Bank or its affiliates; (ii) your commission of an act of fraud or theft, or your material dishonesty, in connection with the performance of your duties to the Bank or its affiliates; (iii) your failure to perform, or negligence in the performance of, the duties reasonably assigned to you, or your failure to comply with the material terms of any agreement between the Bank or any of its affiliates and you or any written policies or codes of conduct of the Bank, which failure or neglect continues for more than fifteen (15) days after you receive written notice thereof from the Bank providing reasonable detail of the asserted failure or neglect (and which is not due to a physical or mental impairment).

Exhibit 99.2
Change of Control Agreement with Karen A. Hamilton, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer
CHANGE OF CONTROL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
CHANGE OF CONTROL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of the 11th day of August, 2011 (this Agreement), by and among (i) The Suffolk County National Bank (hereinafter referred to as Bank), a National Banking Association, a wholly owned subsidiary of Suffolk Bancorp (hereinafter referred to as Company), a New York Corporation, (ii) the Company and (iii) Karen Hamilton (Executive).
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Bank and the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined herein). The Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change of Control and to encourage the Executives full attention and dedication to the Bank and the Company in the event of any threatened or pending Change of Control, and to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements upon a Change of Control that ensure that the compensation and benefits expectations of the Executive will be satisfied and that provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements that are competitive with those of other corporations. Therefore, in order to accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Bank and the Company to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Certain Definitions. (a) Effective Date means the first date during the Change of Control Period (as defined herein) on which a Change of Control occurs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if (A) the Executives employment with the Bank and the Company is terminated by the Bank and/or the Company, (B) the Date of Termination is prior to the date on which a Change of Control occurs, and (C) it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party that has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change of Control, then for all purposes of this Agreement, the Effective Date means the date immediately prior to such Date of Termination.
(b) Change of Control Period means the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the third anniversary of the date hereof; provided, however, that, commencing on the date one year after the date hereof, and on each annual anniversary of such date (such date and each annual anniversary thereof, the Renewal Date), unless previously terminated, the Change of Control Period shall be automatically extended so as to terminate three years from such Renewal Date, unless, at least 60 days prior to the Renewal Date, the Company shall give notice to the Executive that the Change of Control Period shall not be so extended.
(c) Affiliated Company means any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company, including, without limitation, the Bank.
(d) Change of Control means:
(1) Any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) (a Person) becomes the beneficial owner (within the meaning of Rule 13d 3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (A) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the Outstanding Company Common Stock) or (B) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the Outstanding Company Voting Securities); provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 1(d), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Company or (iv) any acquisition pursuant to a transaction that complies with Sections 1(d)(3)(A), 1(d)(3)(B) and 1(d)(3)(C);
(2) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board (the Incumbent Board) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided,
however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Companys shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;
(3) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or securities of another entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a Business Combination), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Companys assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any entity resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such entity resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent securities) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such entity, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for a non-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination; or
(4) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
Section 2. Employment Period. The Bank and the Company hereby agree to continue the Executive in its employ, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the Employment Period). The Employment Period shall terminate upon the Executives termination of employment for any reason.
Section 3. Terms of Employment. (a) Position and Duties. (1) During the Employment Period, (A) the Executives position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties and responsibilities shall be at least commensurate in all respects with the most significant of those held, exercised and assigned at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date, (B) the Executives services shall be performed at the office where the Executive was employed immediately preceding the Effective Date, and (C) the Executive shall not be required to travel on Bank or Company business to a substantially greater extent than required during the 120-day period immediately prior to the Effective Date.
(2) During the Employment Period, and excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive agrees to devote reasonable attention and time during normal business hours to the business and affairs of the Bank and the Company and, to the extent necessary to discharge the responsibilities assigned to the Executive hereunder, to use the Executives reasonable best efforts to perform faithfully and efficiently such responsibilities. During the Employment Period, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Executive to (A) serve on corporate, civic or charitable boards or committees, (B) deliver lectures, fulfill speaking engagements or teach at educational institutions and (C) manage personal investments, so long as such activities do not significantly interfere with the performance of the Executives responsibilities as an employee of the Bank or the Company in accordance with this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that, to the extent that any such activities have been conducted by the Executive prior to the Effective Date, the continued conduct of such activities (or the conduct of activities similar in nature and scope thereto) subsequent to the Effective Date shall not thereafter be deemed to interfere with the performance of the Executives responsibilities to the Bank and the Company.
(b) Compensation. (1) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall receive an annual base salary (the Annual Base Salary) at an annual rate at least equal to 12 times the highest monthly base salary paid or payable, including any base salary that has been earned but deferred, to the Executive by the Company and the Affiliated Companies in respect of the one-year period immediately preceding the month in which the Effective Date occurs. The Annual Base Salary shall be paid at such intervals as the Bank and the Company pay executive salaries generally. During the Employment Period, the Annual Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually, beginning no more than 12 months after the last salary increase awarded to the Executive prior to the Effective Date. Any increase in the Annual Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Agreement. The Annual Base Salary shall not be reduced after any such increase and the term Annual Base Salary shall refer to the Annual Base Salary as so increased.
(2) Annual Bonus. In addition to the Annual Base Salary, the Executive shall be eligible to earn, for each fiscal year ending during the Employment Period, an annual bonus (the Annual Bonus) in cash with a target at least equal to the Executives target or guaranteed bonus, as applicable, under the Banks or the Companys annual incentive plan, or any comparable bonus under any predecessor or successor plan, for the fiscal year in which the Effective Date occurs (or, if no target or guaranteed bonus was established for such fiscal year, the target or guaranteed bonus for the immediately preceding fiscal year) (the Target Annual Bonus). Each such Annual Bonus shall be paid no later than two and a half months after the end of the fiscal year for which the Annual Bonus is awarded, unless the Executive shall elect to defer the receipt of such Annual Bonus pursuant to an arrangement that meets the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
(3) Long-Term Cash and Equity Incentives, Savings and Retirement Plans. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in all long-term cash incentive, equity incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies, and programs applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with incentive opportunities (measured with respect to both regular and special incentive opportunities, to the extent, if any, that such distinction is applicable), savings opportunities and retirement benefit opportunities, in each case, less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of those provided by the Company and the Affiliated Companies, for the Executive under such plans, practices, policies and programs as in effect at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies.
(4) Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Employment Period, the Executive, the Executives spouse and/or eligible dependents, as the case may be, shall be eligible for participation in and shall receive all benefits under welfare benefit, fringe benefit, vacation and paid time off and expense reimbursement plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company and the Affiliated Companies (including, without limitation, medical, prescription, dental, disability, employee life, group life, accidental death and travel accident insurance plans and programs) to the extent applicable generally to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies, but in no event shall such plans, practices, policies and programs provide the Executive with benefits that are less favorable, in the aggregate, than the most favorable of such plans, practices, policies and programs in effect for the Executive at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive, those provided generally at any time after the Effective Date to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies.
Section 4. Termination of Employment. (a) Death or Disability. The Executives employment shall terminate automatically if the Executive dies during the Employment Period. If the Bank or the Company determines in good faith that the Disability (as defined herein) of the Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the definition of Disability), it may give to the Executive written notice in accordance with Section 11(b) of its intention to terminate the Executives employment. In such event, the Executives employment with the Bank and the Company shall terminate effective on the 30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the Disability Effective Date), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the Executives duties. Disability means the absence of the Executive from the Executives duties with the Bank and the Company on a full-time basis for 180 consecutive business days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness that is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Bank or the Company or the applicable insurers and acceptable to the Executive or the Executives legal representative (such agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld).
(b) Cause. The Bank and/or Company may terminate the Executives employment during the Employment Period with or without Cause. Cause means:
(1) the willful and continued failure of the Executive to perform substantially the Executives duties (as contemplated by Section 3(a)(1)(A)) with the Company or any Affiliated Company (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness or following the Executives delivery of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason), after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company that specifically identifies the manner in which the Board or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executives duties, or
(2) the willful engaging by the Executive in illegal conduct or gross misconduct that is materially and demonstrably injurious to the Bank or the Company.
For purposes of this Section 4(b), no act, or failure to act, on the part of the Executive shall be considered willful unless it is done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the Executives action or omission was in the best interests of the Bank and the Company. Any act, or failure to act, based upon (A) authority given pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the Board, or if the Company is not the ultimate parent corporation of the Affiliated Companies and is not publicly-traded, the board of directors of the ultimate parent of the Company (the Applicable Board) or (B) the advice of counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire membership of the Applicable Board (excluding the Executive, if the Executive is a member of the Applicable Board) at a meeting of the Applicable Board called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel for the Executive, to be heard before the Applicable Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Applicable Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in Section 4(b)(1) or 4(b)(2), and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.
(c) Good Reason. The Executives employment may be terminated during the Employment Period by the Executive for Good Reason or by the Executive voluntarily without Good Reason. Good Reason means actions taken by the Bank and/or the Company resulting in a material negative change in the employment relationship. For these purposes, a material negative change in the employment relationship shall include, without limitation:
(1) the assignment to the Executive of duties materially inconsistent with the Executives position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities as contemplated by Section 3(a)(1)(A), or a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities or a material diminution in the budget over which the Executive retains authority;
(2) a material diminution in the authorities, duties or responsibilities of the person to whom the Executive is required to report, including, where applicable, a requirement that the Executive report to an officer or employee instead of reporting directly to the Applicable Board;
(3) a material breach of Section 3(b), including without limitation a material reduction in the Executives Annual Base Salary or Target Annual Bonus;
(4) the Bank or the Company requiring that the Executive be based at any office or location other than as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(B) resulting in a material increase in the Executives commute to and from the Executives primary residence (for this purpose an increase in the Executives commute by 35 miles or more shall be deemed material); or
(5) any other action or inaction that constitutes a material breach by the Bank or the Company of this Agreement, including any failure by the Company to comply with and satisfy Section 10(c).
In order to invoke a termination for Good Reason, the Executive shall provide written notice to the Bank or the Company, as applicable, of the existence of one or more of the conditions described in clauses (1) through (5) within 90 days following the initial existence of such condition or conditions, specifying in reasonable detail the conditions constituting Good Reason, and the Bank or the Company shall have 30 days following receipt of such written notice (the Cure Period) during which it may remedy the condition. In the event that the Bank or the Company (whichever was provided notice by the Executive) fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the applicable Cure Period, the Executives separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) must occur, if at all, within two years following such Cure Period in order for such termination as a result of such condition to constitute a termination for Good Reason. The Executives mental or physical incapacity following the occurrence of an event described above in clauses (1) through (5) shall not affect the Executives ability to terminate employment for Good Reason and the Executives death following delivery of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason shall not affect the Executives estates entitlement to severance payments benefits provided hereunder upon a termination of employment for Good Reason.
(d) Notice of Termination. Any termination of employment by the Bank or the Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 11(b). Notice of Termination means a written notice that (1) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (2) to the extent applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executives employment under the provision so indicated, and (3) if the Date of Termination (as defined herein) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies the Date of Termination (which Date of Termination shall be not more than 30 days after the giving of such notice) (subject to Banks or the Companys right to cure in the case of a resignation for Good Reason). The failure by the Executive or the Bank and/or the Company to set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance that contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right of the Executive, the Bank or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the Executive, the Bank or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or circumstance in enforcing the Executives, the Banks or the Companys respective rights hereunder.
(e) Date of Termination. Date of Termination means (1) if the Executives employment is terminated by the Bank and/or Company for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of Termination or such later date specified in the Notice of Termination, as the case may be, (2) if the Executives employment is terminated by the Bank and/or the Company other than for Cause or Disability, the date on which the Bank and/or the Company notifies the Executive of such termination, (3) if the Executive resigns without Good Reason, the date on which the Executive notifies the Bank or the Company of such termination, and (4) if the Executives employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the date of death of the Executive or the Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.
Section 5. Obligations of the Bank or the Company upon Termination. (a) By the Executive for Good Reason; By the Bank and/or the Company Other Than for Cause, Death or Disability. If, during the Employment Period, the Bank and/or Company terminates the Executives employment other than for Cause, death or Disability or the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason:
(1) the Bank or the Company shall pay to the Executive, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of Termination (or the applicable later date if the Executive has elected to defer compensation as described below), the aggregate of the following amounts:
(A) the sum of (i) the Executives Annual Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid, (ii) the Executives business expenses that are reimbursable pursuant to Section 3(b)(4) but have not been reimbursed by the Bank or the Company as of the Date of Termination; (iii) the Executives Annual Bonus for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, if such bonus has been determined but not paid as of the Date of Termination; (iv) any accrued vacation pay to the extent not theretofore paid (the sum of the amounts described in sub-clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the Accrued Obligations) and (v) an amount equal to the product of (x) the Target Annual Bonus and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the current fiscal year through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365 (the Pro Rata Bonus); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive has made an irrevocable election under any deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 409A of the Code to defer any portion of the Annual Base Salary or Annual Bonus described in clause (i) or (iii) above, then for all purposes of this section 5, such deferral election, and the terms of the applicable arrangement shall apply to the same portion of the amount described in such clauses (i) or (iii), and such portion shall not be considered as part of the Accrued Obligations but shall instead be an Other Benefit (as defined in Section 6 below);
(B) the amount equal to the product of (i) three and (ii) the sum of (x) the Executives Annual Base Salary and (y) the Target Annual Bonus; and
(2) for three years following the Date of Termination (the Benefits Period), the Bank or the Company shall provide the Executive and his eligible dependents with medical and dental insurance coverage (the Health Care Benefits) no less favorable than those which the Executive and his spouse and eligible dependents were receiving immediately prior to the Date of Termination or, if more favorable to such persons, as in effect generally at any time thereafter with respect to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies; provided, however, that the Health Care Benefits shall be provided during the Benefits Period in such a manner that such benefits are excluded from the Executives income for federal income tax purposes; provided, further, however, that if the Executive becomes re-employed with another employer and is eligible to receive health care benefits under another employer-provided plan, the health care benefits provided hereunder shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility. The receipt of the Health Care Benefits shall be conditioned upon the Executive continuing to pay the Applicable COBRA Premium with respect to the level of coverage that the Executive has elected for the Executive and the Executives spouse and eligible dependents (i.e., single, single plus one, or family). During the portion of the Benefits Period in which the Executive and his
eligible dependents continue to receive coverage under the Banks or the Companys Health Care Benefits plans, the Bank or the Company shall pay to the Executive a monthly amount equal to (i) 140 percent of the Applicable COBRA Premium in respect of the maximum level of coverage in effect for the Executive and his spouse and dependents at the Date of Termination minus (ii) the monthly employee contribution rate that is paid by Bank or Company employees generally for the same or similar coverage, as in effect from time to time (and which amount shall in no event be greater than the employee contribution rate for the applicable level of coverage as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date), which payment shall be paid in advance on the first payroll day of each month, commencing with the month immediately following the Executives Date of Termination. For purposes of determining eligibility (but not the time of commencement of benefits) of the Executive for retiree welfare benefits pursuant to the Banks or the Companys retiree welfare benefit plans, if any, the Executive shall be considered to have remained employed until the end of the Benefit Period and to have retired on the last day of such period. For purposes of this provision, Applicable COBRA Premium means the monthly premium in effect from time to time for coverage provided to former employees of the Bank or the Company under Section 4980B of the Code and the regulations thereunder with respect to a particular level of coverage during the COBRA health care continuation coverage period under Section 4980B of the Code (the COBRA Period) (i.e., single, single plus one, or family); provided that, following the COBRA Period, to the extent determined by the Bank or the Company to be necessary to provide the Health Care Benefits during the Benefits Period in such a manner that such benefits are excluded from the Executives income for federal income tax purposes, the Applicable COBRA Premium shall be the Banks or the Companys deemed premium cost of such medical coverage for the Executive and his eligible dependents, which shall be determined actuarially by the Banks or the Companys advisors; and
(3) except as otherwise set forth in the last sentence of Section 6, to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Bank or the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any Other Benefits (as defined in Section 6) in accordance with the terms of the underlying plans or agreements.
(b) Death. If the Executives employment is terminated by reason of the Executives death during the Employment Period, the Bank or the Company shall provide the Executives estate or beneficiaries with the Accrued Obligations and the Pro Rata Bonus and the timely payment or delivery of the Other Benefits, and shall have no other severance obligations under this Agreement. The Accrued Obligations and the Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid to the Executives estate or beneficiary, as applicable, in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of the Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 5(b) shall include, without limitation, and the Executives estate and/or beneficiaries shall be entitled to receive, benefits at least equal to the most favorable benefits provided by the Company and the Affiliated Companies to the estates and beneficiaries of peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to death benefits, if any, as in effect with respect to other peer executives and their beneficiaries at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executives estate and/or the Executives beneficiaries, as in effect on the date of the Executives death with respect to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies and their beneficiaries.
(c) Disability. If the Executives employment is terminated by reason of the Executives Disability during the Employment Period, the Bank or the Company shall provide the Executive with the Accrued Obligations and Pro Rata Bonus and the timely payment or delivery of the Other Benefits in accordance with the terms of the underlying plans or agreements, and shall have no other severance obligations under this Agreement. The Accrued Obligations and the Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination. With respect to the provision of the Other Benefits, the term Other Benefits as utilized in this Section 5(c) shall include, and the Executive shall be entitled after the Disability Effective Date to receive, disability and other benefits at least equal to the most favorable of those generally provided by the Company and the Affiliated Companies to disabled executives and/or their families in accordance with such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability, if any, as in effect generally with respect to other peer executives and their families at any time during the 120-day period immediately preceding the Effective Date or, if more favorable to the Executive and/or the Executives eligible dependents, as in effect at any time thereafter generally with respect to other peer executives of the Company and the Affiliated Companies and their eligible dependents.
(d) Cause; Other Than for Good Reason. If the Executives employment is terminated for Cause during the Employment Period, the Bank or the Company shall provide the Executive with the Accrued Obligations, except for the Executives Annual Bonus for the fiscal year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs (if such bonus has been determined but not paid as of the Date of Termination), and the timely payment or delivery of the Other Benefits, and shall have no other severance obligations under this Agreement. If the Executive voluntarily terminates employment during the Employment Period, excluding a termination for Good Reason, the Bank or the Company shall provide to the Executive the Accrued Obligations and the Pro Rata Bonus and the timely payment or delivery of the Other Benefits and shall have no other severance obligations under this Agreement. In such case, all the Accrued Obligations and the Pro Rata Bonus shall be paid to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.
Section 6. Non-exclusivity of Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executives continuing or future participation in any plan, program, policy or practice provided by the Company or the Affiliated Companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor, subject to Section 11(f), shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other contract or agreement with the Company or the Affiliated Companies. Amounts that are vested benefits or that the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of or any other contract or agreement with the Company or the Affiliated Companies at or subsequent to the Date of Termination (Other Benefits) shall be payable in accordance with such plan, policy, practice or program or contract or agreement, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Executives resignation under this Agreement with or without Good Reason, shall in no way affect the Executives ability to terminate employment by reason of the Executives retirement under, or to be eligible to receive benefits under, any compensation and benefit plans, programs or arrangements of the Company or the Affiliated Companies, including without limitation any retirement or pension plans or arrangements or substitute plans adopted by the Company, the Affiliated Companies or their respective successors, and any termination which otherwise qualifies as Good Reason shall be treated as such even if it is also a retirement for purposes of any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive receives payments and benefits pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to any severance pay or benefits under any severance plan, program or policy of the Company and the Affiliated Companies, including, without limitation, the severance letter, dated as of July 11, 2011, from the Bank to the Executive, unless otherwise specifically provided therein in a specific reference to this Agreement.
Section 7. Full Settlement; Legal Fees. The Banks or the Companys obligation to make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense, or other claim, right or action that the Bank or the Company may have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and except as specifically provided in Section 5(a)(2), such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment. The Bank and the Company agree to pay as incurred (within 10 days following the Banks or the Companys receipt of an invoice from the Executive), at any time from the Change of Control through the Executives remaining lifetime (or, if longer, through the 20th anniversary of the Effective Date) to the full extent permitted by law, all legal fees and expenses that the Executive may reasonably incur as a result of any contest (regardless of the outcome thereof) by the Bank or the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of, or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of performance thereof (including as a result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment pursuant to this Agreement), plus, in each case, interest on any delayed payment at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code (Interest) determined as of the date such legal fees and expenses were incurred.
Section 8. Section 280G.
(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Accounting Firm shall determine that receipt of all Payments would subject the Executive to tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the Accounting Firm shall determine whether some amount of Agreement Payments meets the definition of Reduced Amount. If the Accounting Firm determines that there is a Reduced Amount, then the aggregate Agreement Payments shall be reduced to such Reduced Amount.
(b) If the Accounting Firm determines that the aggregate Agreement Payments should be reduced to the Reduced Amount, the Bank or the Company shall promptly give the Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof, and the Executive may then elect, in her sole discretion, which and how much of the Agreement Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the Present Value of the aggregate Agreement Payments equals the Reduced Amount); provided, that the Executive shall not be permitted to elect to reduce any Agreement Payment that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, and shall advise the Bank or the Company in writing of her election within ten days of her receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Executive within such ten day period, the Bank or the Company shall reduce the Agreement Payments in the following order: (1) by reducing benefits payable pursuant to Section 5(a)(1)(B) of the Agreement and then (2) by reducing amounts payable pursuant to Section 5(a)(2) of the Agreement. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section 8 shall be binding upon the Bank, the Company and the Executive and shall be made within 60 days of the Executives Date of Termination. In connection with making determinations under this Section 8, the Accounting Firm shall take into account the value of any reasonable compensation for services to be rendered by the Executive before or after the Change of Control, including any non-competition provisions that may apply to the Executive and the Bank and the Company shall cooperate in the valuation of any such services, including any non-competition provisions.
(c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by the Bank or the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement which should not have been so paid or distributed (each, an Overpayment) or that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by the Bank or the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive pursuant to this Agreement could have been so paid or distributed (each, an Underpayment), in each case, consistent with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Bank, the Company or the Executive which the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or distributed by the Bank or the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive shall be repaid by the Executive to the Bank or the Company (as applicable) together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no such repayment shall be required if and to the extent such deemed repayment would not either reduce the amount on which the Executive is subject to tax under Section 1 and Section 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Bank or the Company to or for the benefit of the Executive together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.
(d) All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in implementing the provisions of this Section 8 shall be borne by the Bank or the Company, as applicable.
(e) Definitions. The following terms shall have the following meanings for purposes of this Section 8.
(1) Accounting Firm shall mean a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm that is selected by the Bank or the Company for purposes of making the applicable determinations hereunder and is reasonably acceptable to the Executive, which firm shall not, without the Executives consent, be a firm serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control;
(2) Agreement Payment shall mean a Payment paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement (disregarding this Section);
(3) Net After-Tax Receipt shall mean the Present Value of a Payment net of all taxes imposed on the Executive with respect thereto under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code and under applicable state and local laws, determined by applying the highest marginal rate under Section 1 of the Code and under state and local laws which applied to the Executives taxable income for the immediately preceding taxable year, or such other rate(s) as the Executive shall certify, in the Executives sole discretion, as likely to apply to the Executive in the relevant tax year(s);
(4) Parachute Value of a Payment shall mean the present value as of the date of the change of control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a parachute payment under Section 280G(b)(2), as determined by the Accounting Firm for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment;
(5) A Payment shall mean any payment or distribution in the nature of compensation (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to or for the benefit of the Executive, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise;
(6) Present Value of a Payment shall mean the economic present value of a Payment as of the date of the change of control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code, as determined by the Accounting Firm using the discount rate required by Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code; or
(7) Reduced Amount shall mean the amount of Agreement Payments that (x) has a Present Value that is less than the Present Value of all Agreement Payments and (y) results in aggregate Net After-Tax Receipts for all Payments that are greater than the Net After-Tax Receipts for all Payments that would result if the aggregate Present Value of Agreement Payments were any other amount that is less than the Present Value of all Agreement Payments.

The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Bank or the Company all secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Company or the Affiliated Companies, and their respective businesses, which information, knowledge or data shall have been obtained by the Executive during the Executives employment by the Company or the Affiliated Companies and which information, knowledge or data shall not be or become public knowledge (other than by acts by the Executive or representatives of the Executive in violation of this Agreement). After termination of the Executives employment with the Bank or the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Bank or the Company or as may otherwise be required by law or legal process, communicate or divulge any such information, knowledge or data to anyone other than the Company or the Affiliated Companies and those persons designated by the Bank or the Company. In no event shall an asserted violation of the provisions of this Section 9 constitute a basis for deferring or withholding any amounts otherwise payable to the Executive under this Agreement.
Section 10. Successors. (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive, and, without the prior written consent of the Bank or the Company, shall not be assignable by the Executive other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executives legal representatives.
(b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Bank, the Company and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 10(c), without the prior written consent of the Executive this Agreement shall not be assignable by the Bank or the Company.
(c) The Bank and the Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Bank or the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Bank and the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. Notice and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

(d) The Bank or the Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such United States federal, state or local or foreign taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.
(e) The Executives, the Banks or the Companys failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive, the Bank or the Company may have hereunder, including, without limitation, the right of the Executive to terminate employment for Good Reason pursuant to Sections 4(c)(1) through 4(c)(5), shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.
(f) The Executive, the Bank and the Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive, the Bank and the Company, the employment of the Executive by the Bank or the Company is at will and, subject to Section 1(a), the Executives employment may be terminated by the Executive, the Bank or the Company at any time prior to the Effective Date, in which case the Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement. From and after the Effective Date, except as specifically provided herein, this Agreement shall supersede any other agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof in effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement.
(g) The Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or an exemption or exclusion therefrom and, with respect to amounts that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, shall in all respects be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Any payments that qualify for the short-term deferral exception, the separation pay exception or another exception under Section 409A of the Code shall be paid under the applicable exception. Each payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of applying the exclusion under Section 409A of the Code for short-term deferral amounts, the separation pay exception or any other exception or exclusion under Section 409A of the Code. In no event may the Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 5(a)(1), 5(a)(2), 5(c) and 5(d), in the event that the Executive is a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (as determined in accordance with the methodology established by the Company as in effect on the Date of Termination) (a Specified Employee), amounts that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided under Sections 5(a)(1), 5(a)(2), 5(c) and 5(d) during the six-month period immediately following the Date of Termination shall instead be paid, with Interest determined as of the Date of Termination, or provided on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Executives Date of Termination (the Delayed Payment Date). If the Executive dies following the Date of Termination and prior to the payment of any amounts delayed on account of Section 409A of the Code, such amounts shall be paid to the personal representative of the Executives estate within 30 days after the date of the Executives death. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under this Agreement that constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, including, without limitation, that (i) in no event shall reimbursements by the Bank or the Company under this Agreement be made later than the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which the applicable fees and expenses were incurred, provided, that the Executive shall have submitted an invoice for such fees and expenses at least 10 days before the end of the calendar year next following the calendar year in which such fees and expenses were incurred; (ii) the amount of in-kind benefits that the Bank or the Company is obligated to pay or provide in any given calendar year (other than medical reimbursements described in Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv)(B)) shall not affect the in-kind benefits that the Bank or the Company is obligated to pay or provide in any other calendar year; (iii) the Executives right to have the Bank or the Company pay or provide such reimbursements and in-kind benefits may not be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit; and (iv) in no event shall the Banks or the Companys obligations to make such reimbursements or to provide such in-kind benefits apply later than the Executives remaining lifetime (or if longer, through the 20th anniversary of the Effective Date). Prior to the Change of Control but within the time period permitted by Section 409A of the Code or any IRS or Department of Treasury rules or other guidance issued thereunder, the Bank or the Company may, in consultation with the Executive, modify the Agreement, in the least restrictive manner necessary and without any diminution in the value of the payments to the Executive, in order to cause the provisions of the Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, so as to avoid the imposition of taxes and penalties on the Executive pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.
Section 12. Survivorship. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Agreement or the Executives employment, the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall survive to the extent necessary to carry out the intentions of the parties under this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has hereunto set the Executives hand and, pursuant to the authorization from the Board, the Bank and the Company have each caused these presents to be executed in its name on its behalf, all as of the day and year first above written.

Fair Value | Suffolk records investments available for sale and impaired loans at fair value. Fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an exchange. The definition of fair value includes the exchange price which is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the principal market for the asset or liability. Market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique, as well as the effect of credit risk on the fair value of liabilities. Suffolk uses three levels of the fair value inputs to measure assets, as described below.
Basis of Fair Value Measurement: Level 1 - Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that use pricing models or matrix pricing; Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of Suffolk's financial instruments. FASB ASC 825, "Financial Instruments", defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation: (in thousands)
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and may be based on judgments regarding losses expected in the future, risk, and other factors that are subjective in nature. The methods and assumptions used to produce the fair value estimates follow. Short-term financial instruments are valued at the carrying amounts included in the consolidated statements of condition, which are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short term of the instruments. This approach applies to cash and cash equivalents; accrued interest and loan fees receivable; non-interest-bearing demand deposits; N.O.W., money market, and saving accounts; and accrued interest payable. Federal Home Loan Bank advances/borrowings are measured using a discounted replacement cost of funds approach. Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar characteristics. Loans are segregated by type. The fair value of performing loans was calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk of the loan. Estimated maturity is based on the Bank's history of repayments for each type of loan and an estimate of the effect of the current economy. Fair value for significant non-performing loans is based on recent external appraisals of collateral, if any. If appraisals are not available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the associated risk. Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are made using available market information and specific borrower information.
The carrying amount and fair value of loans were as follows: (in thousands)
Other assets measured at fair value were as follows: (in thousands)
Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired. The loans are measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans, or techniques that are not based on market activity for loans that are not collateral dependent and require management's judgment. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable. The value of real estate collateral is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by Suffolk. The value of business equipment may be based on an appraisal by qualified licensed appraisers hired by Suffolk if significant, or may be valued based on the equipment's net book value on the business' financial statements. Inventory and accounts receivable collateral may be valued based on independent field examiner review or aging reports, if significant. Reviews by field examiners may be conducted based on the loan exposure and reliance on this type of collateral. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management's expertise and knowledge of the client and client's business. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above. The fair value of the investment portfolio, including mortgage-backed securities, was based on quoted market prices or market prices of similar instruments.
The following tables summarize the valuation of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated statements of condition at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, including the additional requirement to segregate classifications to correspond to the major security type classifications utilized for disclosure purposes: (in thousands)
The types of instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets include most U.S. government debt and agency debt securities. Such instruments are generally classified within level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Suffolk does not adjust the quoted price for such instruments. The types of instruments valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency include state and municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Such instruments are generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," provides additional guidance in determining fair values when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, particularly when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It also provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with principles, reaffirming the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets become inactive. The fair value of certificates of deposit is calculated by discounting cash flows with applicable origination rates. At June 30, 2011, the fair value of certificates of deposit totaling $292,476,000 had a carrying value of $290,520,000. The fair value of commitments to extend credit was estimated by either discounting cash flows or using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties.
Credit in the form of revolving open-end lines secured by one-to-four-family residential properties, commercial real estate, construction and land development loans, and lease financing arrangements was $95,520,000 and $123,672,000 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The estimated fair value of written financial guarantees and letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements. The contractual amounts of these commitments were $49,320,000 and $58,319,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The fees charged for the commitments were not material in amount. |
