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 have been prepared to reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normally recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. Certain information and footnotes normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Notwithstanding, management believes that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information from misleading the reader, particularly when the accompanying consolidated financial statements are read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2003.
The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year.
At June 30, 2004, Suffolk had one stock-based employee compensation plan. Suffolk accounts for that plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation costs are reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
The following table provides the disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“SFAS No. 123”) and illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if Suffolk had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation, and should be read in conjunction with “Capital Resources” on Page 12 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

On March 31, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a proposed Statement,Share-Based Payment an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 123 and APB No. 95, that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. Under the FASB’s proposal, all forms of share-based payments to employees, including employee stock options, would be treated the same as other forms of compensation by recognizing the related cost in the income statement. The expense of the award would generally be measured at fair value at the grant date. Current accounting guidance requires that the expense relating to so-called fixed plan employee stock options only be disclosed in the footnotes to the financial statements. The proposed Statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company is currently evaluating this proposed statement and its effects on its results of operations.
(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Suffolk adopted FASB Interpretation 45 (“FIN 45”), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” on January 1, 2003. FIN 45 requires a guarantor entity, at the inception of a guarantee covered by the measurement provisions of the interpretation, to record a liability for the fair value of
Page 8
the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. Suffolk has financial and performance letters of credit. Financial letters of credit require Suffolk to make payment if the customer’s financial condition deteriorates, as defined in the agreements. Performance letters of credit require Suffolk to make payments if the customer fails to perform certain non-financial contractual obligations. Suffolk previously did not record a liability when guaranteeing obligations unless it became probable that Suffolk would have to perform under the guarantee. FIN 45 applies prospectively to guarantees Suffolk issues or modifies subsequent to December 31, 2003. The maximum potential undiscounted amount of future payments of these letters of credit as of June 30, 2004 is $5,804,000 and they expire as follows:
2004 | $ | 1,786,000 | |
2005 | 3,917,000 | ||
2007 | 101,000 | ||
$ | 5,804,000 | ||
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 valuation of the allowance for loan losses includes a provision of $9,000 for possible loan losses based on the letters of credit outstanding on June 30, 2004.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” for certain entities that do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest (“variable interest entities”). Variable interest entities within the scope of FIN 46 will be required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is determined to be the party that absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of its expected returns, or both. Subsequent to the issuance of FIN 46, the FASB issued a revised interpretation, FIN 46(R), the provisions of which must be applied to certain variable interest entities by March 31, 2004. Suffolk implemented FIN 46(R) on January 1, 2004. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 46 did not materially impact its financial condition or results of operations.
The SEC recently released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments” (“SAB 105”). SAB 105 provides guidance about the measurement of loan commitments recognized at fair value under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SAB 105 also requires companies to disclose their accounting policy for those loan commitments including methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value and associated hedging strategies. SAB 105 is effective for all loan commitments accounted for as derivatives that are entered into after March 31, 2004. The adoption of SAB 105 did not have a material effect on Suffolk’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Three-Month Periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003
Net Income
Net income was $5,033,000 for the quarter, down 1.9 percent from $5,131,000 posted during the same period last year. Earnings per share were $0.46 for the second quarter of 2004 and 2003.
Interest Income
Interest income was $16,879,000 for the second quarter of 2004, down 5.3 percent from $17,829,000 posted for the same quarter in 2003. Average net loans during the second quarter of 2004 totaled $827,163,000 compared to $809,908,000 for the same period of 2003. During the second quarter of 2004, the yield was 5.47 percent (taxable-equivalent) on average earning assets of $1,241,680 down from 6.02 percent on average earning assets of $1,188,514 during the second quarter of 2003. Decreases in interest income were attributable primarily to a decrease in interest income on loans and a decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2004 was $1,815,000, down 31.7 percent from $2,659,000 for the same period of 2003. During the second quarter of 2004, the cost of funds was .88 percent on average interest-bearing liabilities of $824,810,000 down from 1.28 percent on average interest-bearing liabilities of $833,603,000 during the second quarter of 2003. Interest expense decreased primarily as a result of decreases in market rates of interest, and as average demand deposits comprised 32.9 percent of total average deposits.
Each of the Bank’s demand deposit accounts has a related non-interest-bearing sweep account. The sole purpose of the sweep accounts is to reduce the non-interest-bearing reserve balances that the Bank is required to maintain with the Federal Reserve Bank, and thereby increase funds available for investment. Although the sweep accounts are classified as savings accounts for regulatory purposes, they are included in demand deposits in the accompanying consolidated statements of condition.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, before the provision for possible loan losses, is the largest component of Suffolk’s earnings. It was $15,064,000 for the second quarter of 2004, down .7 percent from $15,170,000 during the same period of 2003. The net interest margin for the quarter, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 4.89 percent compared to 5.13 percent for the same period of 2003.

Other Income
Other income increased to $3,774,000 for the three months compared to $2,748,000 the previous year. Service charges on deposits were down 4.6 percent. Service charges, including commissions and fees other than for deposits, increased by 5.9 percent. Trust revenue was up 8.8 percent. There was a repositioning of the securities portfolio to take advantage of a steeper yield curve. Suffolk sold securities of shorter remaining maturities and reinvested the proceeds in securities with longer maturities, resulting in a pre-tax net securities gain of $1,219,000. Other operating income decreased by 50.3 percent.

Credit Risk
Suffolk makes loans based on the best evaluation possible of the creditworthiness of the borrower. Even with careful underwriting, some loans may not be repaid as originally agreed. To provide for this possibility, Suffolk maintains an allowance for possible loan losses, based on an analysis of the performance of the loans in its portfolio. The analysis includes subjective factors based on management’s judgment as well as quantitative evaluation. Prudent, conservative estimates should produce an allowance that will provide for a range of losses. According to GAAP, a financial institution should record its best estimate. Appropriate factors contributing to the estimate may include changes in the composition of the institution’s assets, or potential economic slowdowns or downturns. Also important is the geographical or political environment in which the institution operates. Suffolk’s management considers all of these factors when determining the provision for possible loan losses.
Page 12
During the quarter, there was a provision for the allowance for possible loan and lease losses of $1,298,000 for the quarter in comparison to $270,000 in the same period last year. This provision was occasioned by the deterioration of a single credit, the circumstances of which are particular to that loan. Management does not believe that it is reflective of systemic weakness in Suffolk’s loan portfolio or of its underwriting standards and procedures

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
Suffolk’s accounting and reporting policies conform to the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Suffolk considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on management’s review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. All of these factors may change significantly. To the extent actual performance differs from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would reduce earnings in future periods.
Income Taxes
Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined by the difference between the financial statement, and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are subject to management’s judgment of available evidence that future realization is more likely than not. If management determines that Suffolk may be unable to realize all or part of the net deferred tax assets in the future, a direct charge to income tax expense may be required to reduce the recorded value of the net deferred tax asset to the amount management expects can be realized.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risk
Suffolk originates and invests in interest-earning assets and solicits interest-bearing deposit accounts. Suffolk’s operations are subject to market risk resulting from fluctuations in interest rates to the extent that there is a difference between the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that are prepaid, withdrawn, mature, or re-priced in any given period of time. Suffolk’s earnings or the net value of its portfolio (the present value of expected cash flows from liabilities) will change when interest rates change. The principal objective of Suffolk’s asset/liability management program is to maximize net interest income while keeping risks acceptable. These risks include both the effect of changes in interest rates, and risks to liquidity. The program also provides guidance to management in funding Suffolk’s investment in loans and securities. Suffolk’s exposure to interest-rate risk has not changed substantially since December 31, 2003.
Business Risks and Uncertainties
This report contains some statements that look to the future. These may include remarks about Suffolk Bancorp, the banking industry, and the economy in general. Factors affecting Suffolk Bancorp include particularly, but are not limited to: changes in interest rates; increases or decreases in retail and commercial economic activity in Suffolk’s market area; variations in the ability and propensity of consumers and businesses to borrow, repay, or deposit money, or to use other banking and financial services. Further, it could take Suffolk longer than anticipated to implement its strategic plans to increase revenue and manage non-interest expense, or it may not be possible to implement those plans at all. Finally, new and unanticipated legislation, regulation, or accounting standards may require Suffolk to change its practices in ways that materially change the results of operation. Each of the factors may change in ways that management does not now foresee. These remarks are based on current plans and expectations. They are subject, however, to a variety of uncertainties that could cause future results to vary materially from Suffolk’s historical performance, or from current expectations.
Controls and Procedures
Suffolk’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for Suffolk. Based upon their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of June 30, 2004, the Certifying Officers have concluded that Suffolk’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
In addition, there has been no significant change in Suffolk’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during Suffolk’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Suffolk’s internal controls over financial reporting.
