[PHOTO] [LOGO OF SUFFOLK BANCORP] 2002 ANNUAL REPORT on FORM 10-K [PHOTO] On The Cover East Hampton, L. I., N. Y. East Hampton Town was purchased in 1648 by Theophilus Eaton and Edward Hopkins, Governors respectively of the Colonies of New Haven and Connecticut. It was first named for the English town of Maidstone. That name survives to this day, shared by the golf club featured in the foreground, as well as an assortment of local businesses. Visible behind are the rooftops of the Village of East Hampton, and beyond are the bays, inlets, and islands of the Peconic estuary; Long Island's north fork; and on the horizon, far across Long Island Sound, the hills of coastal Connecticut from whence East Hampton's first settlers came. Today, East Hampton retains its New England charm, and has become home to many famous entertainers, artists, and authors. SCNB maintains two full-service offices in East Hampton.

"SCNB" is a full-service, nationally chartered commercial bank. Organized in 1890, SCNB is the second largest independent commercial bank headquartered on Long Island. Most of SCNB's revenue comes from net interest income, and the remainder from charges for a variety of services. SCNB has built a good reputation for personal, attentive service, resulting in a loyal and growing clientele. SCNB operates 27 full-service offices throughout Suffolk County, New York. The staff at SCNB works hard to develop and maintain ties to the communities it serves. Most of SCNB's business is retail, and includes loans to individual consumers, to professionals, and to small and medium-sized commercial enterprises. It has special expertise in indirect retail lending, evaluating and buying loans generated by automobile dealers. In recent years, however, commercial loans of all types have increased as a percentage of the loan portfolio and have made substantial contributions to SCNB's profitability. SCNB's primary market is Long Island, New York. Long Island is home to more than 2.6 million people outside of the limits of New York City and is increasingly suburban in nature. Nassau County and the western end of Suffolk County are a center for commerce and are highly developed, supporting a diversified economy. The economy on eastern Long Island is based on services that support retirement, tourism, and agriculture. Together, they generate family incomes greater than the national average, providing Suffolk Bancorp with a steady and growing demand for loans and other services, and a reliable, reasonably priced supply of deposits.

Net income and earnings-per-share were the highest in the company's 113-year history. Net income was $21,269,000, up 13.8 percent from last year. Earnings-per-share were $1.82 compared to $1.58, an increase of 15.2 percent. Net interest income increased by 12.9 percent, to $62,340,000, from $55,223,000. Income other than from interest increased by 5.5 percent, to $10,073,000 from $9,548,000. Expense other than for interest increased by 10.6 percent, to $35,744,000 from $32,307,000. Our efficiency ratio improved slightly to 49.36 percent from 49.88 percent. Return on assets decreased slightly to 1.72 percent from 1.73 percent. Finally, our return on average common equity increased to 21.12 percent from 20.55 percent. We continued to reshape our balance sheet during the past year. Investment securities increased by 48.0 percent, to $376,886,000 from $254,620,000 as we positioned Suffolk to ride out a period of lower loan demand. This accounted for most of the growth in total assets, which at year-end totaled $1,272,717,000 compared to $1,164,947,000, up 9.3 percent. Shareholders' equity was $108,793,000, up 12.3 percent from $96,837,000. Book value-per-share was $9.47, up 15.1 percent from $8.23 the previous year. Dividends-per-share were $0.68, increasing 21.4 percent from $0.56. Average net loans increased by .6 percent, to $781,521,000 from $776,936,000. Average deposits increased by 16.7 percent, to $1,113,851,000 from $954,704,000, as customers moved their funds to cash, in part because of declines in the stock market, and in part because of continuing political and economic uncertainty. We are pleased with what we have been able to accomplish during the past several years. Suffolk remains among the best performing companies in our industry. I generally refrain from making "forward-looking" remarks in this message. This year, however, I think it is important to devote some time to sharing our best understanding of recent changes in the economy, the effect these changes may have on your investment in Suffolk Bancorp, and some of the steps we have and will continue to take to respond to these conditions. We want to assure you that we are alert to developments, and planning actively to mitigate any negative effects they may have on your company. The political and economic environment in which we find ourselves is unprecedented, at least in my career. Interest rates are lower than they have been since the early 1960's. Major indices in the stock market have declined for three years. Capital investment is slack because of overcapacity developed during the late 1990's. Consumers have grown increasingly wary of their economic prospects. Federal surpluses are now deficits, and state and municipal budgets are under pressure. Finally, there are questions about the outcome of current foreign policy and its effect on the world economy. For the foreseeable future, much of what we will be able to accomplish will be influenced not only by the management of your company and the strength of the Long Island market, but by broader economic and legislative issues, and the outcome of other global issues. At this writing, there are a number of proposals for major changes in tax policy at both the state and national levels about which there is broad disagreement. Our influence over these factors is limited. The largest challenge facing any business in 2003 is uncertainty. 2 So what do we think the practical effect of this environment will be during the coming year? We believe there will be continued pressure on our net interest margin. Interest rates are at historic lows, and even given our modest cost of funds, our ability to price loans to maintain our historic margins is constrained. The continuation of "zero-zero" financing programs among the captive finance divisions of major automobile manufacturers has and will reduce consumer loan volume. Moreover, charge-offs, at 19 basis points of average net loans for the year almost exclusively in the consumer portfolio, have increased as the economy has stagnated. They remain, however, slightly below recent industry averages, and well below banking companies of our size. Our prospects in the commercial portfolio appear considerably better, and we are pleased with how that segment of the business has performed. Barring an extraordinary event, we expect that this trend will continue. As we have noted before, we have shifted substantial assets into our investment portfolio, up 82.4 percent for the quarter on average from year to year. This portfolio is structured carefully, with laddered investments in high-quality collateralized mortgage obligations. These securities increase yield and hedge against further reductions in interest rates, while providing cash flow to respond to upturns in loan demand, should that occur. During uncertain economic times, we will continue to manage the company intelligently, with the long term in view. We will not stretch for yield by easing our credit standards. Given even modest improvements in the economy, Suffolk should benefit. We believe that we are correctly positioned to benefit from the recovery which may or may not materialize during the coming year. Our organization has matured over the years, and we believe that we have competent, qualified, and experienced management. We also operate in a resilient marketplace. That strength has been evident across various business cycles. Long Island's economy has diversified steadily since the days when it was dominated by a few, large defense contractors. There is much more small business than there was, and well-established small businesses are a principal focus for our bank. We are pleased with the initiatives we have taken to expand our branch network. New offices in Manorville and Southold have met or exceeded our expectations, and we are planning several more. We will continue to invest in our business. Finally, we believe that our reporting is straightforward, simple, and factual. Suffolk has never restated earnings, nor changed how it accounts for its business. More than any other, banking is a business based on trust. Our goal is to be worthy of yours. As in the past, we are grateful for your support Please take some time to study Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which starts on page 5.

Selected tabular data are presented for each of the past five years. Suffolk's Business Nearly all of Suffolk's business is to provide banking services to its commercial and retail customers in Suffolk County, on Long Island, New York. Suffolk is a one-bank holding company. Its banking subsidiary, The Suffolk County National Bank (the "Bank"), operates 27 full-service offices in Suffolk County, New York. It offers a full line of domestic, retail, and commercial banking services, and trust services. The Bank's primary lending area includes all of Suffolk County, New York. The Bank also makes loans for automobiles in Nassau and Queens Counties, New York. The Bank serves as an indirect lender to the customers of many automobile dealers. The Bank also lends to small manufacturers, wholesalers, builders, farmers, and retailers, and finances dealers' inventory. The Bank makes loans secured by real estate, including residential mortgages, of which most are sold to investors; real estate construction loans; and loans that are secured by commercial real estate and float with the prime rate which are retained in the Bank's portfolio. The Bank offers both fixed and floating rate second mortgage loans with a variety of plans for repayment. Other investments are made in short-term United States Treasury debt, high quality obligations of municipalities in New York State, issues of agencies of the United States government, collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed securities, and stock in the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, required as a condition of membership. The Bank finances most of its activities with deposits, including demand, savings, N.O.W., and money market accounts, as well as term certificates. To a much lesser degree, it relies on other short-term sources of funds, including interbank, overnight loans, and, when needed, sale-repurchase agreements. General Economic Conditions The economy on Long Island continued to decline during 2002 following the attacks of September 11, 2001. During the year, interest rates reached 40-year lows. Volatility and decreases in the share prices in the stock market continued for the third straight year. Demand for finance, information, transportation, and tourism leveled off, and there were more layoffs resulting from corporate consolidations and downsizing, as well as economic contraction nationwide. Long Island has a highly educated and skilled work force and a diverse industrial base. It is adjacent to New York City, one of the world's largest centers of distribution and a magnet for finance and culture. The island's economic cycles vary from those of the national economy. In general, Long Island's economy seems to have been more stable than the national economy, owing in part to its comparative diversity, although reliable and accurate data are difficult to develop. Results of Operations Net Income Net income was $21,269,000 compared to $18,685,000 last year and $16,232,000 in 2000. These figures represent increases of 13.8 percent and 15.1 percent, respectively. Basic earnings-per-share were $1.82, compared to $1.58 last year and $1.35 in 2000. Net Interest Income Net interest income during 2002 was $62,340,000, up 12.9 percent from $55,223,000, which was up 5.2 percent from $52,505,000 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Net interest income is the most important part of the net income of Suffolk. The effective interest rate differential, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was 5.45 percent in 2002, 5.62 percent during 2001, and 5.84 percent in 2000. Average rates on average interest-earning assets decreased to 6.84 percent in 2002 from 8.08 percent in 2001, and 8.52 percent in 2000. Average rates on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.01 percent in 2002, from 3.50 percent in 2001, and 3.75 percent in 2000. The interest rate differential decreased slightly in 2002 from 2001 and 2000. Demand deposits remained a significant source of funds as a percentage of total liabilities. 5 Average Assets, Liabilities, Stockholders' Equity, Rate Spread, and Effective Interest Rate Differential (on a taxable-equivalent basis) The following table illustrates the average composition of Suffolk's statements of condition.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income $52,505 ================================================================================ Interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would have been earned if Suffolk's investment in nontaxable U. S. Treasury securities and state and municipal obligations had been subject to New York State and federal income taxes yielding the same after-tax income. The rate used for this adjustment was approximately 34 percent for federal income taxes and 9 percent for New York State income taxes for all periods. For each of the years 2002, 2001, and 2000, $1.00 of nontaxable income from obligations of states and political subdivisions equates to fully taxable income of $1.52. In addition, in 2002, 2001, and 2000, $1.00 of 6 nontaxable income on U. S. Treasury securities equates to $1.02 of fully taxable income. The amortization of loan fees is included in interest income. Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income 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 periods presented, each as compared with the preceding period. 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 this 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) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 2002 over 2001 In 2001 over 2000 Changes Due to Changes Due to Volume Rate Net Change Volume Rate Net Change - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Treasury securities $ (453) $ (179) $ (632) $ (729) $ 66 $ (663) Collateralized mortgage obligations 6,774 (1,368) 5,406 1,780 (424) 1,356 Mortgage-backed securities 468 (3) 465 27 -- 27 Obligations of states & political subdivisions 228 (171) 57 (799) 110 (689) U.S. government agency obligations 1,352 (675) 677 106 (131) (25) Corporate bonds & other securities (39) (60) (99) (111) 10 (101) Federal funds sold & securities purchased under agreement to resell 1 (555) (554) 1,145 (308) 837 Loans, including non-accrual loans 399 (6,848) (6,449) 3,644 (1,924) 1,720 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest-earning assets $8,730 $(9,859) $(1,129) $5,063 $(2,601) $2,462 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saving, N.O.W., & money market deposits $2,273 $(4,120) $(1,847) $ 408 $ (914) $ (506) Time deposits (459) (5,302) (5,761) 1,672 (928) 744 Federal funds purchased & securities sold under agreements to repurchase (71) (26) (97) (87) (54) (141) Other borrowings (274) (274) (548) (25) (79) (104) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest-bearing liabilities $1,469 $(9,722) $(8,253) $1,968 $(1,975) $ (7) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net change in net interest income (taxable-equivalent basis) $7,261 $ (137) $ 7,124 $3,095 $ (626) $2,469 ============================================================================================================== Interest Income Interest income decreased to $78,428,000 in 2002, down 1.4 percent from $79,565,000 in 2001, which increased from 76,853,000 in 2000, an increase of 3.5 percent. Investment Securities Average investment in U. S. Treasury securities decreased to $9,958,000 from $18,769,000 in 2001, and $31,104,000 in 2000, a decrease of 46.9 and 39.7 percent, respectively. These balances decreased as funds were shifted into collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO's") as the spread between Treasury and non-Treasury yields widened during the period. Average balances of CMO's increased to $215,506,000 in 2002 from $93,778,000 in 2001, and $67,445,000 in 2000. U. S. Treasury, U. S. government agency, collateralized mortgage obligations, and municipal securities provide collateral for various liabilities to municipal depositors. Securities are Suffolk's primary source of liquidity.

Being an equity investment, the stock has no maturity. There is no public market for this investment. The last dividend was 6.00 percent. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, the Bank owns Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock with a book value of $1,361,000. Being an equity investment, the stock has no maturity. There is no public market for this investment. The last declared dividend was 5.58 percent. Loan Portfolio Loans, net of unearned discounts but before the allowance for possible loan losses, totaled $788,557,000. Consumer loans are the largest component of Suffolk's loan portfolio. Net of unearned discounts, they totaled $277,633,000 at the end of 2002, down 17.1 percent from $334,849,000 at year-end 2001. Consumer loans include primarily indirect, dealer-generated automobile loans. Competition among commercial banks and with captive finance companies of automobile manufacturers has reduced yields and volume. Commercial real estate mortgages closed the year at $183,501,000, up 6.0 percent from $173,092,000 last year. Commercial and industrial loans followed at $150,130,000, up 12.8 percent from $133,076,000 at the end of 2001. As commerce on Long Island stagnated, commercial mortgages, and to a lesser extent, commercial loans, offered continuing opportunity. However, competition forced concessions on rates in order to maintain the quality of Suffolk's commercial portfolio. These loans are made to small local businesses throughout Suffolk County. Loan balances are seasonal, particularly in the Hamptons where retail inventories rise in the spring and decline by autumn. The remaining, significant components of the loan portfolio are residential mortgages at $94,864,000, down .6 percent from $95,424,000; home equity loans at $44,349,000, up 39.9 percent from $31,699,000; and construction loans at $36,558,000, up 33.6 percent from $27,365,000. The following table categorizes total loans (net of unearned discounts) at December 31: (in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial, financial & agricultural loans $150,130 $133,076 $133,524 $131,429 $123,463 Commercial real estate mortgages 183,501 173,092 158,443 162,321 128,923 Real estate -- construction loans 36,558 27,365 34,393 17,956 12,500 Residential mortgages (1st and 2nd liens) 94,864 95,424 89,337 82,411 73,754 Home equity loans 44,349 31,699 21,824 20,834 21,980 Consumer loans 277,633 334,849 335,679 309,653 284,697 Other loans 1,522 605 2,797 2,921 2,203 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total loans (net of unearned discounts) $788,557 $796,110 $775,997 $727,525 $647,520 ================================================================================================= 8 Non-Performing Loans Generally, recognition of interest income is discontinued where 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. Any interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for possible loan losses. 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. All non-performing loans, of a material amount, are reflected in the foregoing tables. The following table shows non-accrual, past due, and restructured loans at December 31: (in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans accruing but past due contractually 90 days or more $ 349 $1,505 $ 949 $1,741 $2,168 Loans not accruing interest 1,560 1,912 2,469 1,132 1,546 Restructured loans 198 56 56 275 291 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $2,107 $3,473 $3,474 $3,148 $4,005 ====================================================================================== Interest on loans that are restructured or are no longer accruing interest would have amounted to about $129,000 for 2002 under the contractual terms of those loans. Suffolk records the payment of interest on such loans as a reduction of principal. Interest income recognized on restructured and non-accrual loans was immaterial for the years 2002, 2001, and 2000. Suffolk has a formal procedure for internal credit review to more precisely identify risk and exposure in the loan portfolio. Summary of Loan Losses and Allowance for Possible Loan Losses The allowance for possible loan losses 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. There can be no assurance that the allowance is, in fact, adequate. 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 not analyzed 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 2002 was 0.19, compared to 0.06 percent in 2001, and 0.10 percent during 2000. The ratio of the allowance for possible loan losses to loans, net of discounts, was 1.10 percent at the end of 2002, down from 1.11 percent in 2001 and up from 1.00 percent in 2000.

Most interest was paid for the deposits of individuals, businesses, and various governments and their agencies. Short-term borrowings, which may include federal funds purchased (short-term lending by other banks), securities sold under agreements to repurchase, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, and the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, were used occasionally. Short-term borrowings averaged $34,000 during 2002, $12,017,000 during 2001, and $14,072,000 during 2000. Deposits Average interest-bearing deposits increased to $801,903,000 in 2002, up 17.2 percent from $684,174,000 in 2001. Savings, N.O.W., and money market deposits increased during 2002, averaging $514,839,000, up 32.7 percent from 2001 when they averaged $387,893,000. Average time certificates of less than $100,000 totaled $256,316,000, down 4.1 percent from $267,303,000 in 2001. Average time certificates of $100,000 or more totaled $30,748,000, up 6.1 percent from $28,978,000 during 2001. 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. The following table classifies average deposits for each of the periods indicated: (in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2002 2001 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Average Average Average Average Rate Paid Average Rate Paid Average Rate Paid - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Demand deposits $ 311,948 $270,530 $250,655 Savings deposits 349,141 1.36% 273,565 2.48% 249,442 2.78% N.O.W. & money market deposits 165,698 1.14 114,328 1.50 121,113 1.70 Time certificates of $100,000 or more 30,748 2.75 28,978 4.89 24,931 5.50 Other time deposits 256,316 3.35 267,303 5.16 239,484 5.47 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total deposits $1,113,851 $954,704 $885,625 ============================================================================================================ 10 At December 31, 2002, the remaining maturities of time certificates of $100,000 or more were as follows: (in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 months or less $10,132 Over 3 through 6 months 9,126 Over 6 through 12 months 1,459 Over 12 months 2,778 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $23,495 =============================================================================== Short-Term Borrowings Occasionally, Suffolk uses short-term funding. This includes lines of credit for federal funds with correspondent banks, retail sale-repurchase agreements, the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, and the Federal Home Loan Bank. Average balances of federal funds purchased were $34,000 and $2,129,000 for 2002 and 2001, respectively. Average balances of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings were $9,888,000 during 2001.There were no Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and retail repurchase agreements during 2002. Other Income Other income increased to $10,073,000 during 2002, up 5.5 percent from $9,548,000 during 2001 and up 22.6 percent from $7,788,000 during 2000. Service charges on deposit accounts were up 7.8 percent from 2001 to 2002, and up 11.6 percent from 2000 to 2001. Other service charges were up 27.5 percent and up 12.6 percent for the same periods, respectively. Fiduciary fees in 2002 totaled $1,141,000, up 2.3 percent from 2001 when they amounted to $1,115,000 and up 37.1 percent from 2000, at $813,000. Other Expense Other expense during 2002 was $35,744,000, up 10.6 percent from 2001 when it was $32,307,000 and up 1.0 percent from $31,977,000 in 2000. Increases were primarily due to increase in compensation expense, up 12.8 percent from 2001 to 2002. During 2002, non-interest expense grew at 10.6 percent while average assets grew by 14.6 percent, further increasing efficiency. Interest Rate Sensitivity Interest rate "sensitivity" is determined by the date when each asset and liability in Suffolk's portfolio can be repriced. Sensitivity increases when interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities cannot be repriced at the same time. While this analysis presents the volume of assets and liabilities repricing in each period of time, it does not consider how quickly various assets and liabilities might actually be repriced in response to changes in interest rates. Management reviews its interest rate sensitivity regularly and adjusts its asset/liability strategy accordingly. Because the interest rates of assets and liabilities vary according to their maturity, management may selectively mismatch the repricing of assets and liabilities to take advantage of temporary or projected differences between short- and long-term interest rates. The following table reflects the sensitivity of Suffolk's assets and liabilities at December 31, 2002: (dollars in thousands) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Less than 3 to 6 7 to 12 More Than Not Rate MATURITY: 3 Months Months Months 1 Year Sensitive Total - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Domestic loans (1) (net of unearned discount) $245,774 $ 75,875 $110,305 $ 353,751 $ 2,852 $ 788,557 Investment securities (2) 18,364 27,546 44,639 284,238 2,099 376,886 Federal funds sold 17,500 -- -- -- -- 17,500 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total interest-earning assets $281,638 $103,421 $154,944 $ 637,989 $ 4,951 $1,182,943 =========================================================================================================================== - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEMAND DEPOSITS AND INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Demand deposits (3) $ 15,736 $ 15,736 $ 31,471 $ 251,771 $ -- $ 314,714 N.O.W. & money market accounts (4) 9,802 9,802 19,603 156,826 -- 196,033 Borrowings -- -- -- -- -- -- Interest-bearing deposits (5) 82,272 46,651 68,153 434,759 -- 631,835 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total demand deposits & interest-bearing liabilities $107,810 $ 72,189 $119,227 $ 843,356 $ -- $1,142,582 =========================================================================================================================== Gap $173,828 $ 31,232 $ 35,717 $(205,367) $ 4,951 $ 40,361 =========================================================================================================================== Cumulative difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities $173,828 $205,060 $240,777 $ 35,410 $40,361 =========================================================================================================================== Cumulative difference/total assets 13.66% 16.11% 18.92% 2.78% 3.17% =========================================================================================================================== 11 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Footnotes to Interest Rate Sensitivity (1) Based on contractual maturity and instrument repricing date, if applicable; projected prepayments and prepayments of principal based on experience. (2) Based on contractual maturity, and projected prepayments based on experience. FRB and FHLB stock is not considered rate-sensitive. (3) Based on experience of historical stable core deposit relationships. (4) N.O.W. and money market accounts are assumed to decline over a period of five years. (5) Fixed-rate deposits and deposits with fixed pricing intervals are reflected as maturing in the period of contractual maturity. Savings accounts are assumed to decline over a period of five years. As of December 31, 2002, interest-earning assets with maturities of less than one year exceed interest-bearing liabilities of similar maturity. This cumulative gap might result in increased net interest income if interest rates increase. If interest rates decline, net interest income might decrease. Market Risk Market risk is the risk that a financial instrument will lose value as the result of adverse changes in market prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or the prices of equity securities. Suffolk's primary exposure to market risk is to changing interest rates. Monitoring and managing this risk is an important part of Suffolk's asset/liability management process. It is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors. These policies are reviewed and approved annually. The Board delegates responsibility for asset/liability management to the Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO"). ALCO then develops guidelines and strategies to implement the policy. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates. As interest rates change, interest income and expense also change, thereby changing net interest income ("NII"). NII is the primary component of Suffolk's earnings. ALCO uses a detailed and dynamic model to quantify the effect of sustained changes in interest rates on NII. While ALCO routinely monitors simulated NII sensitivity two years into the future, it uses other tools to monitor longer term interest rate risk. The model measures the effect of changing interest rates on both interest income and interest expense for all assets and liabilities, as well as for derivative financial instruments that do not appear on the balance sheet. The results are compared to ALCO policy limits that specify a maximum effect on NII one year in the future, assuming no growth in assets or liabilities, and a 2 percent or 200 basis point ("bp") change in interest rates upward and a 1 percent or 100 basis point change in interest rates downward. Following is Suffolk's NII sensitivity as of December 31, 2002. Suffolk's Board has approved a policy limit of 12.5 percent. Estimated NII Rate Change Sensitivity - --------------------------- ------------- +200 basis point rate shock 1.75% - -100 basis point rate shock (1.11%) These estimates should not be interpreted as Suffolk's forecast, and should not be considered as indicative of management's expectations for operating results. They are hypothetical estimates that are based on many assumptions including: the nature and time of changes in interest rates, the shape of the "yield curve" (variations in interest rates for financial instruments of varying maturity at a given moment in time), prepayments on loans and securities, deposit outflows, pricing on loans and deposits, and the reinvestment of cash flows from assets and liabilities, among other things. While these assumptions are based on management's best estimate of current economic conditions, Suffolk cannot give any assurance that they will actually predict results, nor can they anticipate how the behavior of customers and competitors may change in the future. Factors that may affect actual results include: prepayment and refinancing of loans other than as assumed, interest rate change caps and floors, repricing intervals on adjustable rate instruments, changes in debt service on adjustable rate loans, and early withdrawal of deposits. Actual results may also be affected by actions ALCO takes in response to changes in interest rates, actual or anticipated. When appropriate, ALCO may use off-balance-sheet instruments such as interest rate floors, caps, and swaps to hedge its position with regard to interest rate risk. The Board of Directors has approved a hedging policy statement that governs the use of such instruments. As of December 31, 2002, there were no derivative financial instruments outstanding. 12 The following table illustrates the contractual sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the Company's total loans, net of discounts, not including overdrafts and loans not accruing interest, together totaling $2,852,000 at December 31, 2002: (in thousands) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due Within After 1 but After INTEREST RATE PROVISION 1 Year Before 5 Years 5 Years Total - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Predetermined rates $170,000 $211,678 $19,292 $400,970 Floating or adjustable rates 263,284 120,828 3,475 387,587 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $433,284 $332,506 $22,767 $788,557 ======================================================================================= The following table illustrates the contractual sensitivity to changes in interest rates on the Company's commercial, financial, agricultural, and real estate construction loans not including non-accrual loans totaling approximately $353,000 at December 31, 2002: (in thousands) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Due Within After 1 but After 1 Year Before 5 Years 5 Years Total - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial, financial & agricultural $135,776 $14,125 $229 $150,130 Real estate construction 36,558 -- -- 36,558 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $172,334 $14,125 $229 $186,688 ======================================================================================= Asset/Liability Management & Liquidity The asset/liability management committee reviews Suffolk's financial performance and compares it to the asset/liability management policy. The committee includes two outside directors, executive management, the comptroller, and the heads of lending and retail banking. It uses computer simulations to quantify interest rate risk and to project liquidity. The simulations also help the committee to develop contingent strategies to increase net interest income. The committee always assesses the impact of any change in strategy on Suffolk's ability to make loans and repay deposits. Only strategies and policies that meet regulatory guidelines and that are appropriate under the economic and competitive circumstances are considered by the committee. Suffolk has not used forward contracts or interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. Capital Resources Primary capital, including stockholders' equity, not including the net unrealized gain on securities available for sale, net of tax, and the allowance for possible loan losses, amounted to $109,103,000, compared to $104,566,000 at year-end 2001 and $94,978,000 at year-end 2000. During 2002, Suffolk repurchased 283,796 shares for an aggregate price of $8,917,481. Management determined that this would increase leverage while preserving capital ratios well above regulatory requirements. The following table presents Suffolk's capital ratio and other related ratios for each of the past five years: (dollars in thousands) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002(1) 2001(1) 2000(1) 1999(1) 1998(1) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Primary capital at year-end $109,103 $104,566 $94,978 $86,442 $78,768 Primary capital at year-end as a percentage of year-end: Total assets plus allowance for possible loan losses 8.51% 8.91% 8.98% 8.75% 8.60% Loans, net of unearned discounts 13.84% 13.13% 12.24% 11.88% 12.16% Total deposits 9.55% 9.94% 10.08% 9.85% 9.53% =============================================================================================================== (1) Capital ratios do not include the effect of SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Investment Securities." In 2000, the Board adopted a policy whereby management will maximize both return on average equity and earnings-per-share, and therefore shareholder value, while maintaining the regulatory standard of "well-capitalized." That standard is 10 percent Total Risk-based Capital, 6 percent Tier 1 Capital, and 5 percent Leverage Capital. When capital exceeds that standard by more than a small cushion over what is expected to be required to maintain the "well-capitalized" standard during the current quarter, shares may be repurchased as they become available at prices that remain accretive to earnings per share in transactions under SEC rule 10-b 18 and in private purchases. When capital expected to be required during the current quarter does not exceed the standard, repurchases will not be made. Further, the dividend reinvestment program will automatically follow the same standard, purchasing shares in the market when Suffolk is in the market to repurchase shares, and issuing from the reserve when it is not. Each of these replaces the prior practice of authorizing the repurchase of a specific number of shares by Suffolk, or the purchase or issuance of shares by the dividend reinvestment program without specific reference to capital ratios. 13 The following table details repurchases during 2002: - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Period ending Total shares repurchased Average price per share Aggregate cost - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2002 283,796 $31.42 $8,917,481.00 ======================================================================================= Suffolk measures how effectively it uses capital by two widely accepted performance ratios: return on average assets and return on average common stockholders' equity. The returns in 2002 on average assets of 1.72 percent and average common equity of 21.12 percent fluctuated slightly from 2001 when returns were 1.73 percent and 20.55 percent, respectively. All dividends must conform to applicable statutory requirements. Suffolk Bancorp's ability to pay dividends depends on Suffolk County National Bank's ability to pay dividends. Under 12 USC 56-9, a national bank may not pay a dividend on its common stock if the dividend would exceed net undivided profits then on hand. Further, under 12 USC 60, a national bank must obtain prior approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to pay dividends on either common or preferred stock that would exceed the bank's net profits for the current year combined with retained net profits (net profits minus dividends paid during that period) of the prior two years. The amount the Bank currently has available to pay dividends is approximately $38,576,000. Risk-Based Capital and Leverage Guidelines The Federal Reserve Bank's risk-based capital guidelines call for bank holding companies to require minimum ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets, which include certain off-balance-sheet activities, such as standby letters-of-credit. The guidelines define capital as being "core," or "Tier 1" capital, which includes common stockholders' equity; a limited amount of perpetual preferred stock; minority interest in unconsolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill; or "supplementary" or "Tier 2" capital, which includes subordinated debt, redeemable preferred stock, and a limited amount of the allowance for possible loan losses. All bank holding companies must meet a minimum ratio of total qualifying capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.00 percent, of which at least 4.00 percent should be in the form of Tier 1 capital. At December 31, 2002, Suffolk's ratios of core capital and total qualifying capital (core capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets were 12.28 percent and 11.29 percent, respectively. Discussion of New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives either as assets or as liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. In June of 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133." This statement deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2001, with early application encouraged. The Bank adopted SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 137, effective on January 1, 2001, with no material effect on the results of operations. In June of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." This statement addressed financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and requires that all business combinations be accounted for by a single method: the purchase method. The single-method approach used in this statement reflects the conclusion that virtually all business combinations are acquisitions and thus all business combinations should be accounted for in the same way as are the acquisitions of other assets: based on the values exchanged. The Bank adopted SFAS No. 141 effective January 1, 2002, with no material effect on the results of operations. 14 In July of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." This statement requires that goodwill and certain other intangible assets having indefinite lives no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be subject to periodic testing for impairment. The Bank adopted SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002, with no material effect on the results of operations. In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions," an amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9, which removes acquisitions of financial institutions from the scope of SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions." SFAS No. 147 also requires that the acquisition of less than a whole financial institution, such as a branch, be accounted for as a business combination if the transferred assets and activities constitute a business. The adoption of SFAS No. 147 did not have a material impact on the Bank's financial position or results of operations. Business Risks and Uncertainties This annual 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 operations. 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. 15 CONSOLIDATED

notes to consolidated financial statements. 19 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accounting and reporting policies of Suffolk Bancorp and its subsidiary conform to generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the banking industry. The following footnotes describe the most significant of these policies. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of condition. The same is true of revenues and expenses reported for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. (A) Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Suffolk and its wholly owned subsidiary, Suffolk County National Bank (the "Bank"). In 1998, the Bank formed a Real Estate Investment Trust named Suffolk Greenway, Inc. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (B) Investment Securities -- Suffolk reports debt securities and mortgage-backed securities in one of the following categories: (i) "held to maturity" (management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity), which are to be reported at amortized cost; (ii) "trading" (held for current resale), which are to be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; and (iii) "available for sale" (all other debt securities and mortgage-backed securities), which are to be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Accordingly, Suffolk classified all of its holdings of debt securities and mortgage-backed securities as either "held to maturity" or "available for sale." At the time a security is purchased, a determination is made as to the appropriate classification. Premiums and discounts on debt and mortgage-backed securities are amortized as expense and accreted as income over the estimated life of the respective security using a method that approximates the level-yield method. Gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are recognized upon realization, using the specific identification method and shown separately in the consolidated statements of income. (C) Loans and Loan Interest Income Recognition -- Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Interest on loans not made on a discounted basis is credited to income, based upon the principal amount outstanding during the period. Unearned discounts on installment loans are credited to income using methods that approximate a level yield. Recognition of interest income is discontinued when reasonable doubt exists as to whether interest due can be collected. Loans generally no longer accrue interest when 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued in the current year, but not collected, is reversed against current year interest income. Any interest accrued in prior years is charged against the allowance for possible loan losses. Loans and leases start accruing interest again when they become current as to principal and interest, and when, in the opinion of management, the loans can be collected in full. (D) Allowance for Possible Loan Losses -- The balance of the allowance for possible loan losses is determined by management's estimate of the amount of financial risk in the loan portfolio and the likelihood of loss. The analysis also considers the Bank's loan loss experience and may be adjusted in the future depending on economic conditions. Additions to the allowance are made by charges to expense, and actual losses, net of recoveries, are charged to the allowance. Regulatory examiners may require the Bank to add to the allowance based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 ("SFAS 114"), titled "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement No. 118, titled "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures," an allowance is maintained for impaired loans to reflect the difference, if any, between the principal balance of the loan and the present value of projected cash flows, observable fair value, or collateral value. SFAS 114 defines an impaired loan as a loan for which it is probable that the lender will not collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. The Bank accounts for its transfers and servicing of financial assets in accordance with SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," as amended. In September 2000, SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," was issued which replaces SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS 140 revises the standards for accounting for the securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral. This new standard also requires certain disclosures, but carries over most of the provisions of SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Bank's financial statements. 20 In July 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 102, "Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues." SAB No. 102 provides guidance on the development, documentation, and application of a systematic methodology for determining the allowance for loans and leases in accordance with US GAAP and is effective upon issuance. The adoption of SAB No. 102 did not have a material impact on the Bank's financial position or results of operations. (E) Premises and Equipment -- Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated by the declining-balance or straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the estimated life of the asset, whichever is shorter. (F) Other Real Estate Owned -- Property acquired through foreclosure (other real estate owned or "OREO"), is stated at the lower of cost or fair value less selling costs. Credit losses arising at the time of the acquisition of property are charged against the allowance for possible loan losses. Any additional write-downs to the carrying value of these assets that may be required, as well as the cost of maintaining and operating these foreclosed properties, are charged to expense. Additional write-downs are recorded in a valuation reserve account that is maintained asset by asset. (G) Excess of Cost Over Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired and Other Intangible Assets -- Through December 31, 2001, the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of ten years. Effective with the adoption of FASB No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," on January 1, 2002, the Bank ceased amortizing goodwill and, instead, tests goodwill for impairment on a periodic basis. (H) Income Taxes -- 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 management's position that no valuation allowance is necessary against any of Suffolk's deferred tax assets. (I) Summary of Retirement Benefits Accounting -- Suffolk's retirement plan is noncontributory and covers substantially all eligible employees. The plan conforms to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Suffolk's policy is to accrue for all pension costs and to fund the maximum amount allowable for tax purposes. Actuarial gains and losses that arise from changes in assumptions concerning future events are amortized over a period that reflects the long-term nature of pension expense used in estimating pension costs. Suffolk accrues for post-retirement benefits other than pensions by accruing the cost of providing those benefits to an employee during the years that the employee serves. (J) Cash and Cash Equivalents -- For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and due from banks, and federal funds sold are considered to be cash equivalents. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. (K) Stock-Based Compensation -- At December 31, 2002, the Bank had one stock-based employee compensation plan, which is more fully described in Note 7. The bank accounts for that plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations, as an accepted alternative under FASB No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." 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. (L) Treasury Stock -- The balance of treasury stock is computed at par value. The excess cost over par is subtracted from undivided profits. (M) Stock Dividend -- On November 26, 2001, Suffolk declared a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend, to shareholders of record on December 14, 2001, payable on January 2, 2002. All share and per-share information has been restated to reflect the split. (N) Earnings-per-share -- Basic earnings-per-share is computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings-per-share reflect the dilution that would occur if stock options were exercised in return for common stock that would then share in Suffolk's earnings. It is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average number of stock options exercisable during the period. Suffolk has no other securities that could be converted into common stock, nor any contracts that would result in the issuance of common stock. (O) Comprehensive Income -- 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. 21 Comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income are reported net of related income taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive income for the Bank consists solely of unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale. (P) Segment Reporting -- SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," requires that public companies report certain information about operating segments. It also requires that public companies report certain information about their products and services, the geographic areas in which they operate, and their major customers. Suffolk is a regional bank, which offers a wide array of products and services to its customers. Pursuant to its banking strategy, emphasis is placed on building relationships with its customers, as opposed to building specific lines of business. As a result, at December 31, 2002 and 2001, Suffolk is not organized around discernable lines of business and prefers to work as an integrated unit to customize solutions for its customers, with business line emphasis and product offerings changing over time as needs and demands change. Thus, all necessary requirements of SFAS No. 131 have been met by Suffolk as of December 31, 2002. (Q) Reclassification of Prior Year Consolidated Financial Statements -- Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's consolidated financial statements that conform with the current year's presentation.

Securities backed by mortgages are expected to have substantial periodic prepayments resulting in weighted average lives considerably less than what would be surmised from the table above. As a member of the Federal Reserve system, the Bank owns Federal Reserve Bank stock with a book value of $638,000. The stock has no maturity and there is no public market for the investment. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, the bank owns Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock with a book value of $1,361,000. The stock has no maturity and there is no public market for the investment. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, investment securities carried at $189,496,000 and $108,795,000, respectively, were pledged to secure trust deposits and public funds on deposit. During 2002, there were no sales of securities available for sale. During 2001, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $7,856,000, resulting in realized gains of $395,000. Note 3 -- Loans At December 31, 2002 and 2001, loans included the following: (in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial, financial, and agricultural $150,130 $133,076 Commercial real estate 183,501 173,092 Real estate construction loans 36,558 27,365 Residential mortgages (1st and 2nd liens) 94,864 95,424 Home equity loans 44,349 31,699 Consumer loans 277,911 335,381 Other loans 1,522 605 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 788,835 796,642 Unearned discounts (278) (532) Allowance for possible loan losses (8,695) (8,825) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at end of year $779,862 $787,285 =============================================================================== Restructured loans, loans not accruing interest, and loans contractually past due 90 days or more with regard to payment of principal and/or interest amounted to $2,107,000 and $3,473,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Interest on loans that have been restructured or are no longer accruing interest would have amounted to $129,000 during 2002, $214,000 during 2001, and $264,000 during 2000, under the contractual terms of those loans. Interest income recognized on restructured and non-accrual loans was immaterial for the years 2002, 2001, and 2000. Suffolk makes loans to its directors and executives, as well as to other related parties in the ordinary course of its business. Loans made to directors and executives, either directly or indirectly, which exceed $60,000 in aggregate for any one director, totaled $17,368,000 and $16,097,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Unused portions of lines of credit to directors and executives, directly or indirectly, totaled $12,035,000 and $13,776,000. New loans totaling $31,092,000 were granted and payments of $29,821,000 were received during 2002. 23 Note 4 -- Allowance for Possible Loan Losses An analysis of the changes in the allowance for possible loan losses follows: (in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at beginning of year $ 8,825 $7,749 $7,270 Provision for possible loan losses 1,380 1,544 1,200 Loans charged-off (1,853) (806) (897) Recoveries on loans 343 338 176 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at end of year $ 8,695 $8,825 $7,749 =============================================================================== At December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the Bank's recorded investment in impaired loans and the related valuation allowance calculated under SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 are as follows: (in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Recorded investment $476 $629 Valuation allowance 109 290 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- This valuation allowance is included in the allowance for loan losses on the statements of condition.

The Bank adopted FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," on January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 retains the existing requirements to recognize and measure the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of by sale. However, SFAS No. 144 makes changes to the scope and certain measurement requirements of existing accounting guidance. SFAS No. 144 also changes the requirements relating to reporting the effects of a disposal or discontinuation of a segment of a business. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Bank. Note 6 -- Short-Term Borrowings Presented below is information concerning short-term interest-bearing liabilities, principally Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings, and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase, with maturities of less than one year, and their related weighted-average interest rates for the year 2002, and 2001: (dollars in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Daily average outstanding $ 34 $12,017 Total interest cost 1 646 Average interest rate paid 1.83% 5.38% Maximum amount outstanding at any month-end $ -- $44,900 December 31, balance -- -- Weighted-average interest rate on balances outstanding at December 31 --% --% =============================================================================== Suffolk has no assets pledged as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank as of December 31, 2002. Assets pledged as collateral to the Federal Home Loan Bank as of December 31, 2002 totaled $45,370,000. Note 7 -- Stockholders' Equity Suffolk has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Stockholders can reinvest dividends in common stock of Suffolk at a 3 percent discount from market value on newly issued shares. Shareholders may also make additional cash purchases. No shares were issued in 2002, 2001, or 2000. At December 31, 2002, Suffolk has a Stock Option Plan ("the Plan") under which 600,000 shares of Suffolk's common stock were reserved for issuance to key employees. 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 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 ten years. Compensation expense related to stock appreciation rights amounted to approximately $309,000, $259,000, and $171,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. 24 The following table presents the options granted, exercised, or expired during each of the past three years: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares Wtd. Avg. Exercise - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 1999 91,400 $11.65 Options granted 19,000 13.13 Options exercised -- -- Options expired or terminated -- -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 2000 110,400 $11.65 Options granted 40,000 15.50 Options exercised (69,000) 11.52 Options expired or terminated -- -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 2001 81,400 $14.00 Options granted -- Options exercised (5,000) 15.50 Options expired or terminated -- -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 2002 76,400 $13.90 ================================================================================ The following table presents additional information: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At, or during, year ended December 31, 2002 2001 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average remaining contractual life in years: 7.34 7.89 7.38 Exercisable options (vested): 81,400 41,400 91,400 Weighted average fair value of options (Black-Scholes model) at date of grant: na $ 3.40 $ 3.86 Black-Scholes Assumptions: Risk-free interest rate na 5.17% 6.73% Expected dividend yield na 2.93% 2.78% Expected life in years na 10 10 Expected volatility na 14.80% 19.10% =============================================================================== No options were granted during 2002. Suffolk accounts for these plans under APB Opinion No. 25 under which no compensation cost has been recognized for the fair value of stock options granted. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings-per-share if the Bank had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation: (in thousands, except per-share amounts) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Income: As Reported $21,269 $18,685 $16,232 Pro Forma 21,242 18,656 16,218 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic EPS: As Reported 1.82 1.58 1.35 Pro Forma 1.82 1.58 1.35 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All dividends must conform to applicable statutory requirements. Under 12 USC 56-9, a national bank may not pay a dividend on its common stock if the dividend would exceed net undivided profits then on hand. Further, under 12 USC 60, a national bank must obtain prior approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") to pay dividends on either common or preferred stock that would exceed the bank's net profits for the current year combined with retained net profits (net profits minus dividends paid during that period) from the prior two years. At December 31, 2002, approximately $38,576,000 was available for dividends from the Bank to Suffolk Bancorp without prior approval of the OCC. On October 23, 1995, the Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan and declared a dividend of one right per common share. Each right, if made exercisable by certain events, entitles the holder to acquire one-half of a share of common stock for $17.50, adjustable to prevent dilution. The rights expire in 2005 if they are not redeemed before then. The Plan protects stockholders from possible, unsolicited attempts to acquire Suffolk. In the event of the acquisition by any potential acquirer of 10 percent of the outstanding stock, the rights then entitle the holder to purchase the acquiring company's stock at a 50 percent discount upon a subsequent merger with that acquirer. In the event of the acquisition of 20 percent or more of Suffolk's common stock, they entitle the holder to purchase Suffolk's common stock at a 50 percent discount. Following the acquisition of 20 percent but less than 50 percent of the common shares, the Board can exchange one-half of a share of Suffolk for each valid right. On November 26, 2001, Suffolk split the stock 2-for-1 in the form of a 100 percent stock dividend to shareholders of record on December 14, 2001, effective on January 2, 2002. All share and per-share information have been restated to reflect this split. Note 8 -- Income Taxes The following table presents the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income which is comprised of the following: (in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current: Federal $11,909 $10,556 $ 8,653 State 3,143 2,240 1,711 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15,052 12,796 10,364 Deferred: Federal 159 (25) 643 State (1,191) (536) (124) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1,032) (561) 519 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $14,020 $12,235 $10,883 =============================================================================== The total tax expense was greater than the amounts computed by applying the federal income tax rate because of the following: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal income tax expense at statutory rates 35% 35% 35% Tax-exempt interest (1%) (1%) (1%) Amortization of excess cost over fair value of net assets acquired 0% 1% 1% State income taxes net of federal benefit 5% 4% 4% Other 1% 1% 1% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 40% 40% 40% =============================================================================== 25 The effects of temporary differences between tax and financial accounting that create significant deferred-tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the recognition of income and expense for purposes of tax and financial reporting, that resulted in a net increase to Suffolk's net deferred tax (liability) asset for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 are presented below: (in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred tax assets: Provision for possible loan losses $3,610 $3,607 $3,217 Post-retirement benefits 915 881 895 Deferred compensation 1,603 913 865 Other 820 633 777 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred tax assets before valuation allowance 6,948 6,034 5,754 Valuation allowance -- -- -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred tax assets net of valuation allowance 6,948 6,034 5,754 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred tax liabilities: Pension 1,604 1,722 1,742 Securities available for sale 5,827 761 1,756 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total deferred tax liabilities 7,431 2,483 3,498 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net deferred tax (liability) asset $ (483) $3,551 $2,256 ================================================================================ Note 9 -- Employee Benefits (A) Retirement Plan -- Suffolk has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan available to all full-time employees who are at least 21 years old and have completed at least one year of employment. The plan is governed by the rules and regulations in the Prototype Plan of the New York Bankers Association Retirement System and the Retirement System Adoption Agreement executed by the Bank. For purpose of investment, the plan contributions are pooled with those of other participants in the system. The following tables set forth the status of Suffolk Bancorp's combined plan as of September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, the time at which the annual valuation of the plan is made. The following table sets forth the plan's change in benefit obligation: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benefit obligation at beginning of year $14,614,955 $12,718,696 Service cost 881,106 1,153,567 Interest cost 966,983 903,010 Actuarial loss (gain) 933,816 526,896 Benefits paid (680,196) (687,214) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benefit obligation at end of year $16,716,664 $14,614,955 =============================================================================== The following table sets forth the plan's change in plan assets: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $16,376,205 $18,301,945 Actual return on plan assets (886,316) (1,467,460) Employer contribution 125,068 228,934 Benefits paid (680,196) (687,214) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair value of plan assets at end of year $14,934,761 $16,376,205 =============================================================================== The following table summarizes the funded status of the plan: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Funded status $(1,781,903) $ 1,395,894 Unrecognized net transition liability (118,376) (172,364) Unrecognized prior service cost (40,557) 331,423 Unrecognized net loss 5,717,337 2,571,549 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prepaid cost $ 3,776,501 $ 4,126,502 =============================================================================== The following table summarizes the net periodic pension cost: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost $ 969,625 $ 901,874 $ 777,608 Interest cost on projected benefit obligations 1,105,458 991,645 903,010 Expected return on plan assets (1,262,701) (1,373,214) (1,532,959) Net amortization & deferral 195,855 22,691 (57,967) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net periodic pension cost $ 1,008,237 $ 542,996 $ 89,692 =============================================================================== The weighted-average discount rate for purposes of determining net periodic pension cost was 6.75 percent in 2002 and 2001, and 7.25 in 2000. The rate of increase in future compensation levels used in determining these amounts was 4.00 percent in 2002 and 2001, and 4.25 percent in 2000. The expected long-term rate of return on assets is 8.5 percent for 2002, 2001, and 2000. (B) Director's Retirement Income Agreement of the Bank of the Hamptons -- On April 11, 1994, Suffolk acquired Hamptons Bancshares, Inc., which had a director's deferred compensation plan. The liability for this plan was approximately $357,000 and $504,000 on December 31, 2002 and 2001. Interest (approximately $36,000 in 2002 and $37,000 in 2001) is accrued over the term of the plan. In 2002, the Bank paid approximately $80,000 to participants. (C) Deferred Compensation Plan -- During 1986, the Board approved a deferred compensation plan. Under the plan, certain employees and Directors of Suffolk elected to defer compensation aggregating approximately $177,000 in exchange for stated future payments to be made at specified dates. The rate of return on the initial deferral was guaranteed. For purposes of financial reporting, interest (approximately $279,000 in 2002, $280,000 in 2001, and $199,000 in 2000) at the plan's contractual rate is being accrued on the deferral amounts over the expected plan term. During 2002, Suffolk made payments of approximately $157,000 to participants of the plan. 26 Suffolk has purchased life insurance policies on the plan's participants based upon reasonable actuarial benefit and other financial assumptions where the present value of the projected cash flows from the insurance proceeds approximates the present value of the projected cost of the employee benefit. Suffolk is the named beneficiary on the policies. Net insurance (expense) income related to the policies aggregated approximately ($56,000), $58,000, and $21,000, in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. (D) Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pension -- The following table sets forth the post-retirement benefit liability included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of condition as of December 31, 2002 and 2001: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation (the "APBO"): Retirees $ (625,953) $ (567,831) Fully eligible active plan participants (434,491) (159,761) Other active participants (165,898) (104,304) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total APBO $(1,226,342 $ (831,896) Unrecognized net gain (901,633) (1,252,145) Unrecognized transition obligation 8,282 9,190 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-retirement benefit liability $(2,119,693 $(2,074,851) =============================================================================== The decrease in post-retirement benefit expense reflects the fact that the health portion of the plan was closed as of January 1, 1998, and Suffolk's only cost per participant is fixed at $13.65 per month. Net periodic post-retirement benefit cost (the "net periodic cost") for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 includes the following components: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 2000 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost of benefits earned $ 27,950 $ 13,740 $ 67,587 Interest cost on liability 74,954 54,435 106,755 Unrecognized (gain) loss (52,129) (73,074) (12,276) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net periodic cost $ 50,775 $ (4,899) $162,066 =============================================================================== Benefit assumptions are based on sponsor contributions of $13.65 per month per retiree for medical expenses and $0.27 per participant per month per $1,000 of life insurance. The retiree is responsible for the premiums calculated, less sponsor contributions. (E) Deferred Bonus Plans -- During 1999, the Board approved a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Under this plan, certain employees and Directors of Suffolk may elect to defer some or all of their compensation in exchange for a future payment of the compensation deferred, with accrued interest, at retirement. During 2002 participants deferred compensation totaling $384,000. No payments have been made to any of the participants. Note 10 -- Commitments and Contingent Liabilities In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as standby letters-of-credit and commitments to extend credit, which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. No material losses are anticipated as a result of these transactions. Suffolk is contingently liable under standby letters-of-credit in the amount of $8,471,000 and $9,538,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Suffolk has commitments to make or to extend 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 in the amount of $61,639,000 and $51,806,000, and commercial loans of $18,560,000 and $13,031,000 as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In the opinion of management, based upon legal counsel, liabilities arising from legal proceedings against Suffolk would not have a significant effect on the financial position of Suffolk. During 2002, Suffolk was required to maintain balances with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for reserve and clearing requirements. These balances averaged $4,029,000 in 2002. Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 amounted to $807,000, $756,000, and $685,000, respectively. At December 31, 2002, Suffolk was obligated under a number of noncancelable operating leases for land and buildings used for bank purposes. Minimum annual rentals, exclusive of taxes and other charges under noncancelable operating leases, are summarized as follows: (in thousands) - ---------------------------------------- Minimum Rentals - ---------------------------------------- 2003 $ 639 2004 597 2005 535 2006 511 2007 and thereafter 1,980 ======================================== 27 Note 11 -- Regulatory Capital The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital requirements that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2002, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. Management believes that since that notification no circumstances have changed the institution's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the following table: (dollars in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Be Well Capitalized For Capital Under Prompt Corrective Actual Adequacy Action Provisions ---------------- --------------- ----------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ======================================================================================================= As of December 31, 2002 Total Capital (to risk-weighted assets) $117,251 13.39% $70,079 8.00% $87,599 10.00% Tier 1 Capital (to risk-weighted assets) 108,556 12.39% 35,039 4.00% 52,559 6.00% Tier 1 Capital (to average assets) 108,556 8.77% 49,490 4.00% 61,863 5.00% ======================================================================================================= As of December 31, 2001 Total Capital (to risk-weighted assets) $105,136 11.91% $70,641 8.00% $88,301 10.00% Tier 1 Capital (to risk-weighted assets) 96,311 10.91% 35,320 4.00% 52,980 6.00% Tier 1 Capital (to average assets) 96,311 8.92% 43,194 4.00% 53,992 5.00% ======================================================================================================= Note 12 -- Credit Concentrations Suffolk's principal investments are loans and a portfolio of short- and medium-term debt of the United States Treasury, states and other political subdivisions, U. S. government agencies, corporations, and mortgage-backed securities and CMO's. Consumer loans, net of unearned discounts, comprised 35.2 percent of Suffolk's loan portfolio and 21.8 percent of assets. A majority are indirect dealer-generated loans secured by automobiles. Most of these loans are made to residents of Suffolk's primary lending area. Each loan is small in amount. Borrowers represent a cross-section of the population and are employed in a variety of industries. The risk presented by any one loan is correspondingly small, and therefore, the risk that this portion of the portfolio presents to Suffolk depends on the financial stability of the population as a whole, not any one entity or industry. Loans secured by real estate comprise 45.6 percent of the portfolio and 28.2 percent of assets, 23.3 percent of which are for commercial real estate. Commercial real estate loans present greater risk than residential mortgages. Suffolk has attempted to minimize the risks of these loans by considering several factors, including the creditworthiness of the borrower, location, condition, value, and the business prospects for the security property. Commercial, financial, and agricultural loans, unsecured or secured by collateral other than real estate, comprise 19.0 percent of the loan portfolio and 11.8 percent of assets. These loans present significantly greater risk than other types of loans. Average credits are greater in size than consumer loans, and unsecured loans may be more difficult to collect. Suffolk obtains, whenever possible, both the personal guarantees of the principal(s) and cross-guarantees among the principals' business enterprises. U. S. Treasury securities represented 2.7 percent of the investment portfolio and .8 percent of assets. U.S. government agency debt securities represented 19.8 percent of the investment portfolio and 5.9 percent of assets. These offer little or no financial risk. Collateralized mortgage obligations represented 68.0 percent of the investment portfolio and 20.1 percent of assets. Mortgage-backed securities represented 4.1 percent of the investment portfolio and 1.2 percent of assets. Municipal obligations constitute 4.9 percent of the investment portfolio and 1.4 percent of assets. These obligations present slightly greater risk than U. S. Treasury securities, or those secured by the U. S. government, but significantly less risk than loans because they are backed by the full faith and taxing power of the issuer, each of which is located in the state of New York. Suffolk usually holds these securities to maturity. 28 Note 13 -- Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of Suffolk's financial instruments. SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of 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) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash & cash equivalents $ 48,000 $ 48,000 $ 60,926 $ 60,926 Investment securities available for sale 359,903 359,903 241,061 241,061 Investment securities held to maturity 16,983 17,643 13,559 13,872 Loans, net 779,862 802,586 787,285 796,005 Accrued interest receivable 5,946 5,946 5,557 5,557 Deposits 1,142,582 1,148,007 1,051,712 1,054,996 Accrued interest payable 1,334 1,334 2,513 2,513 =============================================================================== Limitations The following 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 Instruments Short-term financial instruments are valued at the carrying amounts included in the 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; federal funds purchased; accrued interest receivable; non-interest-bearing demand deposits; N.O.W., money market, and savings accounts; accrued interest payable; and other borrowings. Loans 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 at December 31, 2002 and 2001: (in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial, financial & agricultural $150,130 $129,055 $133,076 $134,080 Commercial real estate 183,501 200,475 173,092 175,380 Real estate construction loans 36,558 27,686 27,365 27,306 Residential mortgages (1st & 2nd liens) 94,864 96,493 95,424 94,873 Home equity loans 44,349 44,673 31,699 31,355 Consumer loans 277,911 302,682 335,381 339,625 Other loans 1,522 1,522 605 605 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Totals $788,835 $802,586 $796,642 $803,224 ================================================================================ Investment Securities The fair value of the investment portfolio, including mortgage-backed securities, was based on quoted market prices or market prices of similar instruments. Deposit Liabilities The fair value of certificates of deposit less than $100,000 was calculated by discounting cash flows with applicable origination rates. At December 31, 2002, the fair value of certificates of deposit less than $100,000 totaling $249,210,000 had a carrying value of $246,405,000. At December 31, 2002, the fair value of certificates of deposit more than $100,000 totaling $24,046,000 had a carrying value of $23,495,000. Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters-of-Credit, and Written Financial Guarantees 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. 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 $27,031,000 and $22,569,000 at December 31, 2002 and 2001. The fees charged for the commitments were not material in amount. 29 Note 14-- Selected Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited) The comparative results for the four quarters of 2002 and 2001 are as follows: (in thousands of dollars except for share and per-share data) -

(Part III) ITEM 1. Business Suffolk Bancorp ("Suffolk") Suffolk was incorporated on January 2, 1985 as a bank holding company. On that date, Suffolk acquired, and currently owns, all of the outstanding capital stock of Suffolk County National Bank. On July 14, 1988, Suffolk acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Island Computer Corporation of New York, Inc. The business of Suffolk consists primarily of the ownership, supervision, and control of its subsidiaries. On April 11, 1994, Suffolk acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Hamptons Bancshares, Inc. and merged it into a subsidiary. During 1996, the operations of Island Computer Corporation of New York, Inc. were assumed by Suffolk County National Bank. Suffolk's chief competition includes local banks with main or branch offices in the service area of Suffolk County National Bank, including North Fork Bank and Bridgehampton National Bank. Additionally, New York City money center banks and regional banks provide competition. These banks include primarily the Bank of New York, Chase Manhattan Bank, and Fleet Bank. Suffolk and its subsidiaries had 364 full-time and 54 part-time employees on December 31, 2002. Suffolk County National Bank ("Bank") The Suffolk County National Bank of Riverhead was organized under the National Banking laws of the United States of America on January 6, 1890. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System, and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to the extent provided by law. Directed by members of the communities it serves, the Bank's main service area includes the towns of Babylon, Brookhaven, East Hampton, Islip, Riverhead, Smithtown, Southampton, and Southold. The main office of the Bank is situated at 6 West Second Street, Riverhead, New York. Its branch offices are located at Bohemia, Center Moriches, Cutchogue, East Hampton, Hampton Bays, Hauppauge, Manorville, Mattituck, Medford, Miller Place, Montauk, Port Jefferson, Riverhead, Sag Harbor, Sayville, Shoreham, Smithtown, Southampton, Southold, Wading River, Water Mill, West Babylon, and Westhampton Beach, New York. The Bank is a full-service bank serving the needs of the local residents of Suffolk County. Most of the Bank's business is devoted to serving those residing in the immediate area of the Bank's main and branch offices. Among the services offered by the Bank are checking accounts, savings accounts, time and savings certificates, money market accounts, negotiable-order-of-withdrawal accounts, holiday club accounts, and individual retirement accounts; secured and unsecured loans, including commercial loans to individuals, partnerships, and corporations, agricultural loans to farmers, installment loans to finance small businesses, mobile home loans, automobile loans; home equity and real estate mortgage loans; safe deposit boxes; trust and estate services; the sale of mutual funds and annuities; and the maintenance of a master pension plan for self-employed individuals' participation. The business of the Bank is only mildly seasonal. AVAILABLE INFORMATION Suffolk files Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, Proxy Statements on Form 14(a), and any amendments to those reports, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The public may read and copy any of these materials at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room can be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 (1-800-732-0330). The SEC also maintains an Internet site (http:// www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy, and information statements, and other information regarding issuers, including Suffolk, that file electronically with the SEC. Suffolk also makes these reports available free of charge through its Internet website (http:// www.suffolkbancorp.com) as soon as practicably possible after Suffolk files these reports electronically with the SEC. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION References in this section to applicable statutes and regulations are brief summaries only, and do not purport to be complete. The reader should consult such statutes and regulations themselves for a full understanding of the details of their operation. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities in the United States, the business of Suffolk and its subsidiaries are particularly susceptible to federal and state legislation that may have the effect of increasing or decreasing the cost of doing business, modifying permissible activities, or enhancing the competitive position of other financial institutions. Suffolk is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act ("BHC" Act) and is subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board. Federal laws subject bank holding companies to particular restrictions on the types of activities in which they may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violation of laws and policies. Activities "Closely Related" to Banking The BHC Act prohibits a bank holding company, with certain limited exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any company that is not a bank or 34 from engaging in any activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks and certain other subsidiaries, or furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries. One principal exception to these prohibitions allows the acquisition of interests in companies whose activities are found by the Federal Reserve Board, by order or regulation, to be closely related to banking, managing, or controlling banks. If a bank holding company has become a "financial holding company" (an "FHC"), it may engage in activities that are jointly determined by the Federal Reserve Board and the Treasury Department to be "financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity." FHCs may also engage in activities that are determined by the Federal Reserve to be "complementary to financial activities." See "Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act" for a brief summary of the statutory provisions relating to FHCs. Safe and Sound Banking Practices Bank holding companies are not permitted to engage in unsafe and unsound banking practices. The Federal Reserve Board may order a bank holding company to terminate an activity or control of a nonbank subsidiary if such activity or control constitutes a significant risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of a subsidiary bank and is inconsistent with sound banking principles. Regulation Y also requires a holding company to give the Federal Reserve Board prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own equity securities, if the consideration to be paid, together with the consideration paid for any repurchases or redemptions in the preceding year, is equal to 10 percent or more of the company's consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve Board has broad authority to prohibit activities of bank holding companies and their non-banking subsidiaries which represent unsafe and unsound banking practices or which constitute violations of laws or regulations. Notably, the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") provides that the Federal Reserve Board can assess civil money penalties for such practices or violations, which can be as high as $1 million per day. FIRREA contains expansive provisions regarding the scope of individuals and entities against which such penalties may be assessed. Annual Reporting and Examinations Suffolk is required to file an annual report with the Federal Reserve Board, and such additional information as the Federal Reserve Board may require pursuant to the BHC Act. The Federal Reserve Board may examine a bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, and charge the company for the cost of such an examination. Suffolk is also subject to reporting and disclosure requirements under state and federal securities laws. Imposition of Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") required each federal banking agency to revise its risk-based capital standards to ensure that those standards take adequate account of interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk, and the risks of nontraditional activities, as well as reflect the actual performance and expected risk of loss on multifamily mortgages. In accordance with the law, each federal banking agency has specified, by regulation, the levels at which an insured institution would be considered "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized." Under these regulations, as of December 31, 2002, the Bank would be deemed to be "well capitalized." FDICIA requires bank regulators to take "prompt corrective action" to resolve problems associated with insured depository institutions. In the event an institution becomes "undercapitalized," it must submit a capital restoration plan. If an institution becomes "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically undercapitalized," additional and significant limitations are placed on the institution. The capital restoration plan of an undercapitalized institution will not be accepted by the regulators unless each company "having control of" the undercapitalized institution "guarantees" the subsidiary's compliance with the capital restoration plan until it becomes "adequately capitalized." Suffolk has control of the Bank for purpose of this statute. Additionally, Federal Reserve Board policy discourages the payment of dividends by a bank holding company from borrowed funds as well as payments that would adversely affect capital adequacy. Failure to meet the capital guidelines may result in supervisory or enforcement actions by the Federal Reserve Board. Acquisition by Bank Holding Companies The BHC Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5 percent of the voting shares of such bank. In approving bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve Board is required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding company and banks concerned, the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, and the effect on competition. The Attorney General of the United States may, within 30 days after approval of an acquisition by the Federal Reserve Board, bring an action challenging such acquisition under the federal antitrust laws, in which case the effectiveness of such approval is stayed pending a final ruling by the courts. Under certain circumstances, the 30-day period may be shortened to 15 days. Interstate Acquisitions Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, beginning September 29, 1995, bank holding companies may acquire banks in any state subject to limited restrictions including bank age and deposit concentration limits, notwithstanding contrary state law. All banks owned in common by a bank holding company may act as agents for one another. An agent bank may receive deposits, renew time deposits, accept payments, and 35 close and service loans for its principal bank and not be considered to be a branch of the principal banks. Banks also may merge with banks in another state and operate either office as a branch, preexisting contrary state law notwithstanding. This law became effective automatically in all states on June 1, 1997, unless a state, by legislation enacted before June 1, 1997, opted out of coverage by the interstate branching provision. Upon consummation of an interstate merger, the resulting bank may acquire or establish branches on the same basis that any participant in the merger could have if the merger had not taken place. Banks may also merge with branches of banks in other states without merging with the banks themselves, or may establish de novo branches in other states if the laws of the other states expressly permit such mergers or such interstate de novo branching. Banking Regulation The Bank is a national bank, which is subject to regulation and supervision primarily by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") and secondarily by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC. The Bank is subject to the requirements and restrictions under federal law, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon, and limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank. Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act imposes quantitative and qualitative limits on transactions between a bank and any affiliate, and requires certain levels of collateral for such loans. It also limits the amount of advances to third parties which are collateralized by the securities or obligations of Suffolk or its subsidiaries. Section 23B requires that certain transactions between the Bank and its affiliates must be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving other nonaffiliated companies. In the absence of such comparable transactions, any transaction between the Bank and its affiliates must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that in good faith would be offered to or would apply to nonaffiliated companies. Examinations The OCC regularly examines the Bank and records of the Bank. The FDIC may also periodically examine and evaluate insured banks. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board regularly examines the Bank and records of Suffolk. Standards for Safety and Soundness As part of the FDICIA's efforts to promote the safety and soundness of depository institutions and their holding companies, appropriate federal banking regulators are required to have in place regulations specifying operational and management standards (addressing internal controls, loan documentation, credit underwriting, and interest rate risk), asset quality, and earnings. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC, and FDIC have extensive authority to police unsafe or unsound practices and violations of applicable laws and regulations by depository institutions and their holding companies. For example, the FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any institution that it determines has engaged in an unsafe or unsound practice. The agencies can also assess civil money penalties of up to $1 million per day, issue cease-and-desist or removal orders, seek injunctions, and publicly disclose such actions. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, effective on March 11, 2000, permits bank holding companies to become FHCs and, by doing so, affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature or complementary thereto. A bank holding company may become an FHC, if each of its subsidiary banks is well capitalized under the FDICIA prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed, and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act, by filing a declaration that the bank holding company wishes to become an FHC and meets all applicable requirements. No prior regulatory approval is required for an FHC to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities permitted under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Activities specified in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act as being "financial in nature" include securities underwriting and dealing, and insurance underwriting and agency activities. Activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking are also deemed to be financial in nature. A national bank also may engage, subject to limitations on investment, in activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting, merchant banking, real estate development, and real estate investment, through a financial subsidiary of the bank, if the bank is well capitalized, well managed, and has at least a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating. Subsidiary banks of an FHC or national bank with financial subsidiaries must continue to be well capitalized and well managed in order to continue to engage in such activities without regulatory actions or restrictions, which could include divestiture of the financial subsidiary or subsidiaries. In addition, an FHC or a bank may not acquire a company that is engaged in such activities unless each of the subsidiary banks of the FHC or the bank has at least a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating. In July of 2001, provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act became effective that impose additional requirements on financial institutions with respect to customer privacy. These provisions generally prohibit disclosure of customer information to non-affiliated third parties unless the customer has been given the opportunity to object, and has not objected, to such disclosure. Financial 36 institutions are also required to disclose their privacy policies to customers annually and may be required to comply with provisions of applicable state law if such provisions are more protective of customer privacy than those contained in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Governmental Monetary Policies and Economic Conditions The principal sources of funds essential to the business of banks and bank holding companies are deposits, stockholders' equity, and borrowed funds. The availability of these various sources of funds and other potential sources, such as preferred stock or commercial paper, and the extent to which they are utilized, depends on many factors, the most important of which are the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policies and the relative costs of different types of funds. An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the national supply of bank credit in order to combat recession and curb inflationary pressure. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve Board to implement these objectives are open market operations in United States government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. In view of the recent changes in regulations affecting commercial banks and other actions and proposed actions by the federal government and its monetary and fiscal authorities, including proposed changes in the structure of banking in the United States, no prediction can be made as to future changes in interest rates, availability of credit, deposit balances, or the overall performance of banks generally or of Suffolk and its subsidiaries in particular. STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE ITEM 2. Properties Registrant Suffolk as such has no physical properties. Office facilities of Suffolk are located at 4 West Second Street, Riverhead, New York. Bank The Bank's main office campus, with three buildings, is located at 6 West Second Street, Riverhead, New York, title to which is held by the Town of Riverhead, New York Industrial Development Agency for reasons of tax abatement, but to which the Bank has all other rights of ownership. The Bank also owns a total of 12 properties with 12 buildings in fee, and holds 15 buildings under lease agreements. The decision was made to consolidate a number of offices housing central operations in the new campus facility on property then already owned by the Bank in Riverhead, New York, in the interest of operational efficiency. Construction began late in 2001 under a contract with a guaranteed maximum price of $8,837,000. Capitalized costs through December 31, 2002 totaled $6,933,000. Depreciation will commence during the first quarter of 2003. Management anticipates that costs will exceed recent run rates in the first years after construction. Otherwise, management believes that the physical facilities are suitable and adequate and at present are being fully utilized. Suffolk, however, evaluates future needs continuously and anticipates other changes in its facilities during the next several years. ITEM 3.
