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, 2006.
The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the remainder of the year.
At June 30, 2007, Suffolk had one stock-based employee compensation plan, a Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”), under which 1,200,000 shares of Suffolk’s common stock were originally reserved for issuance to key employees, and of which 1,037,500 remained available at that date. Options are awarded by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors. The Plan provides that the option price shall not be less than the fair value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. All options are exercisable for a period of ten years or less. The Plan provides for but does not require the grant of stock appreciation rights that the holder may exercise instead of the underlying option. When the stock appreciation right is exercised, the underlying option is canceled. The optionee receives shares of common stock with a fair market value equal to the excess of the fair value of the shares subject to the option at the time of exercise (or the portion thereof so exercised) over the aggregate option price of the shares set forth in the option agreement. The exercise of stock appreciation rights is treated as the exercise of the underlying option. Options vest after one year and expire after not more than ten years. Prior to January 1, 2006, Suffolk accounted for that plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”) and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation costs were reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
On January 1, 2006, Suffolk adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). This statement supersedes APB No. 25. SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. This statement was adopted using the modified prospective method of application, which requires the recognition of compensation expense on a prospective basis. Accordingly, prior periods have not been restated. This statement also revised SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which superseded APB No. 25. SFAS 123 required the disclosure of the effect on net income and earnings per share using fair value recognition provisions. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, $37,000 of compensation expense, net of a tax benefit of $24,000, was recorded for stock-based compensation. As of June 30, 2007, there was $126,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested options under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.87 months.
The following table presents the options granted, exercised, or expired during the six months ended June 30, 2007:
Shares | Wtd. Avg. Exercise | ||||
Balance at December 31, 2006 | 117,500 | $ | 26.52 | ||

(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This statement addresses the recognition and measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. It requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations. Statement No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. An entity is permitted to choose from two measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities: an amortization method or fair value measurement method. This statement also permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights. Separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities are required. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The impact of FAS. No. 156 on Suffolk’s financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures has been determined not to be material.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The provisions of FIN 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. Suffolk has adopted the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 were recorded as a credit adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the amount of $2,013,000. As of June 30, 2007, Suffolk had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $158,000. There have been no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits since January 1, 2007. Suffolk recognizes interest and penalties accrued relating to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
In September 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The definition of fair value retains the exchange price notion, however this statement clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the principal market for the asset or liability. This statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, therefore a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. This statement clarifies that 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. This statement also expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods, focusing on the inputs used to measure fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Suffolk is currently evaluating the impact of FAS. No. 157 on its financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R).” This statement requires 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 pursuant to FASB No. 87 or No. 106; measure defined benefit plan assets and obligation as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement 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. Upon initial application of this statement and subsequently, an employer should continue to apply the provisions in Statements 87, 88, and 106 in measuring plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of its statement of financial position and in determining the amount of net periodic benefit cost. An employer with publicly traded equity securities was required to recognize initially the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. Suffolk has adopted the provisions of FAS. No. 158, which have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of condition and disclosures.
In February 2007, FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The statement defines items eligible for the measurement option. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Suffolk is currently evaluating the impact of FAS. No. 159 on its financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Three-Month Periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Recent Developments
The yield curve for interest rates has remained inverted throughout the year until late during the quarter when the curve began to flatten, and achieve slight upward slope. Rates in general have remained flat during the three month period ended June 30, 2007, but have increased compared to the same period last year. This led to an increase in interest income and interest expense, of which interest expense increased at a higher percentage as a result of increased volume and rates in certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more. Net interest margin decreased to 5.03 percent in the second quarter of 2007, down from 5.15 percent, in the second quarter of 2006.
Return on average equity decreased, to 20.66 percent for the second quarter in 2007, down from 22.93 percent during the second quarter of 2006, and earnings-per-share decreased from $.55 in the second quarter of 2006 to $.54 in the second quarter of 2007.
Key to maintaining performance was close management of the balance sheet. Steps included:
• | Continued repositioning of the investment portfolio from maturing collateralized mortgage obligations, originally purchased to provide downside protection from falling rates, to purchase municipal securities, currently providing liquidity as well as higher returns, and some protection from falling interest rates. |
• | Pursuing ongoing program of capital management, which applies leverage to shareholders’ investment by means of the selective repurchase of shares, while maintaining “well-capitalized” status with regulatory agencies. |
• | Maintaining emphasis on both commercial and personal demand deposits, while responding to increased call for time certificates of $100,000 or more. A new product was introduced during the first quarter of 2007, to increase volume in personal demand deposits. |

Net Income
Net income was $5,332,000 for the quarter, down 5.4 percent from $5,639,000 posted during the same period last year. Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.54 versus $0.55, a decrease of 1.8 percent.
Interest Income
Interest income was $22,364,000 for the second quarter of 2007, up 2.5 percent from $21,817,000 posted for the same quarter in 2006. Average net loans during the second quarter of 2007 totaled $901,364,000 compared to $913,213,000 for the same period of 2006. During the second quarter of 2007, the yield on a fully taxable-equivalent basis was 6.95 percent on average earning assets of $1,326,199,000 up from 6.70 percent on average earning assets of $1,328,358,000 during the second quarter of 2006. Increases in interest income were attributable primarily to an increase in interest income on obligations of states and political subdivisions.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2007 was $6,379,000, up 23.9 percent from $5,148,000 for the same period of 2006. During the second quarter of 2007, the cost of funds was 2.92 percent on average interest-bearing liabilities of $875,220,000, up from 2.34 percent on average interest-bearing liabilities of $878,998,000 during the second quarter of 2006. Interest expense increased primarily as a result of increases in market rates of interest, increases in certificates of deposits of $100,000 and other time 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 loan losses, is the largest component of Suffolk’s earnings. It was $15,985,000 for the second quarter of 2007, down 4.1 percent from $16,669,000 during the same period of 2006. The net interest margin for the quarter, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was 5.03 percent compared to 5.15 percent for the same period of 2006.

Capital Resources
Stockholders’ equity totaled $100,039,000 on June 30, 2007, a decrease of 7.9 percent from $108,566,000 on December 31, 2006. This was the result of net income and the adoption of FIN 48, offset by the repurchase of shares, cash dividends, and the declines in the market value of securities available for sale. The ratio of equity to assets was 7.0 percent at June 30, 2007 and 7.8 percent at December 31, 2006.

Credit Risk
Suffolk makes loans based on the best evaluation possible of the creditworthiness of the borrower. Even with careful underwriting, some loans may not be repaid as originally agreed. To provide for this possibility, Suffolk maintains an allowance for loan losses, based on an analysis of the performance of the loans in its portfolio. The analysis includes subjective factors based on management’s judgment as well as quantitative evaluation. Prudent, conservative estimates should produce an allowance that will provide for a range of losses. According to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) a financial institution should record its best estimate. Appropriate factors contributing to the estimate may include changes in the composition of the institution’s assets, or potential economic slowdowns or downturns. Also important is the geographical or political environment in which the institution operates. Suffolk’s management considers all of these factors when determining the provision for loan losses.
The provision for the allowance for loan losses was $18,000 for the second quarter of 2007, and $300,000 for the comparable period in 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, the remainder of a large loan that is in litigation and not performing, previously disclosed and fully reserved, was charged off. Suffolk will continue to pursue all legal remedies to collect the balance of this loan. Management believes the circumstances particular to this loan are not reflective of systematic weakness in Suffolk’s loan portfolio or of its underwriting standards.

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. The maximum potential undiscounted amount of future payments of these letters of credit as of June 30, 2007 is $18,535,000 and they expire as follows: (in thousands)

$ | 18,535 | ||
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 $28,000 for losses based on the letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
Suffolk’s accounting and reporting policies conform to the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Suffolk considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on management’s review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions, and other pertinent factors, including management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. All of these factors may change significantly. To the extent actual performance differs from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would reduce earnings in future periods.
Page 15
Table of Contents
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. On January 1, 2007, Suffolk adopted FIN 48. Suffolk determined, under the guidance of FIN 48 and the information available at the time, that is was not likely that the dividend received from its Real Estate Investment Trust subsidiary, would be included in full in taxable income as calculated for purposes of New York State tax. Accordingly, the cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 were recorded as a credit adjustment to retained earnings in the amount of $2,013,000, as a result of the review, recognition, and measurement of uncertain tax positions. As of June 30, 2007, Suffolk had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $158,000. There have been no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits since January 1, 2007. Suffolk recognizes interest and penalties accrued relating to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
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, 2006.
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, 2007, 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.
