Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Announces Class Action Against Suffolk Bancorp

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Oct 31, 2011) - Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of Suffolk Bancorp ("Suffolk" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SUBK) common stock who purchased shares between March 12, 2010 and August 10, 2011, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The Complaint alleges that Suffolk and certain of its officers and directors violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose the following: (i) Suffolk's financial results were artificially inflated due to the material understatement of Suffolk's loan loss reserves; (ii) Suffolk's financial results were artificially inflated due to a failure to recognize its impaired assets; (iii) Suffolk's internal and disclosure controls were materially deficient; and (iv) defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about Suffolk.

On August 10, 2011, Suffolk announced its inability to file its quarterly results with the SEC on Form 10-Q. Also the Company's Audit Committee concluded that Suffolk's previously issued financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, the quarter ended December 31, 2010 and the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as reported in Suffolk's Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, respectively, should no longer be relied upon. On this news, Suffolk stock fell over 11.3%, closing at $9.16 per share.
