(1) Basis of Presentation

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 condensed consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 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 period's presentation.
