Corporate
History
The
Company was incorporated under the name White Dove Systems, Inc. in December
1992 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
Effective
December 15, 1999, the Company consummated the acquisition of Neocom
Microspecialists, Inc. (Neocom) by exchanging 6,782,353 shares of the Company’s
common stock for 100% of the outstanding shares of Neocom. Effective upon the
closing of the acquisition, the Company issued 4,782,353 shares of its common
stock and reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock to issue on the second
anniversary of the acquisition based on certain contingencies related to
potential unrecorded liabilities. As of January 2002, the remaining
2,000,000 shares were issued to the former shareholders of Neocom.
3
Neocom
has since changed its name to Sitestar.net, Inc. Sitestar.net is an
ISP and web development company based in Martinsville, Virginia.
Sitestar.net provides Internet access and other Internet services to its
customers in the Southern Virginia area.
Effective
November 22, 2000, the Company consummated the acquisition of FRE Enterprises,
Inc., a Virginia corporation (doing business as “Lynchburg.net” and “Computers
by Design”) by exchanging 16,583,980 shares of its common stock for 100% of the
outstanding shares of Lynchburg.net. Effective upon the closing of the
acquisition, the Company issued 12,437,985 shares of its common stock and
reserved 4,145,995 shares of its common stock that the Company had agreed
to issue on the third anniversary of the acquisition based on certain
contingencies related to potential unrecorded and unknown liabilities. On
the third anniversary, November 22, 2003, there were no contingencies that had
not been satisfied and the shares were issued on that date. The Company used the
market price of its common stock at the acquisition date to determine the
acquisition price of $2,487,597.
Lynchburg.net
is an ISP and web services company. Computers by Design is a computer
sales and service company. In addition, Computers by Design has a division that
remanufactures ink and toner cartridges under the name of CBD Toner Recharge.
This company is based in Lynchburg, Virginia and provides products and services
to its customers in the central and southwestern part of Virginia, as well as,
nationwide.
On July
1, 2001, the Company acquired 100% of the equity and voting interest of Advanced
Internet Services, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (ADVI). ADVI is an
Internet and computer Service Provider located in Mt. Airy, North Carolina.
The purchase price was $965,980, which consisted of $150,000 in cash,
transaction costs of $30,000, 6,021,818 of the Company’s common shares valued at
$301,091 and a non-interest bearing promissory note for $1,199,990 (the present
value was $484,889) payable in 24 quarterly installments of $51,078. Due
to the non-interest bearing nature of the note, the Company imputed a discount
rate of 36% to calculate the present value of the note. This discount rate
was an estimate of the Company’s current cost of capital. This acquisition
included goodwill of $702,642 that was the premium the Company paid to have the
opportunity to generate revenues and earnings in this market.
Effective
October 16, 2002, Sitestar reorganized and the Board named Frank R. Erhartic,
Jr. as the new Chairman and CFO to replace Clinton Sallee and Eric Manlunas, who
both resigned. Mr. Erhartic later entered into a contract with the former
management of Sitestar to buy out their shares of the Company to reduce the
number of shares outstanding by approximately 32.5%. Mr. Sallee was
retained as a paid consultant for one year.
Effective
December 31, 2002, the Company acquired the Internet assets and Internet
customer list of Digital Data Connections, Inc., a local competitor in
Martinsville, Virginia. This deal consisted of a cash payment of $50,000 and a
promise to pay a certain percentage of revenues generated by their customers for
ten months. The Company also accepted a non-compete agreement restricting
competition in the Company’s existing markets for a period of three
years.
On June
30, 2004 the Company acquired 100% of the Internet-related assets of Virginia
Link Internet and Network Management, Inc., a Virginia corporation and ISP
located in Galax, Virginia and Mt. Airy Networks, LLC, a North Carolina limited
liability company, an ISP located in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The total
purchase price was $226,314, representing the fair value of the assets acquired,
less $50,000 for deferred revenues and less a 10% discount, for a purchase price
of $176,314 which consisted of a non-interest bearing note payable over thirty
months.
4
Effective
August 31, 2004 the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement to sell the
assets of Sitestar Applied Technologies (SAT), the software development division
of the Company. Thomas Albanese, the former manager of the SAT division,
purchased the assets. The new company is subsequently doing business as Servatus
Development, LLC (Servatus). The agreement consisted of Albanese surrendering
1,460,796 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company receiving a 20%
share in the gross revenues of Servatus over a period of four years and
maintaining the rights to the crisis management software system that was shortly
thereafter completed. The Company provided office space, occupancy costs and
Internet services for one year. The Company has recognized a gain from this
transaction of $8,734 through the fourth quarter of 2008, representing the
excess of the value of the common stock received and the shared revenue over the
recorded basis of the assets sold.
Effective
November 22, 2004, the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement acquiring the
Internet related assets of Exchange Computers, Inc. and Exis.net, Inc. Both are
Virginia corporations. The deal consisted of the acquisition of the dial-up
customers, the related Internet assets and non-compete agreements from the
principal officers of the companies. The total purchase price was $150,000,
representing the fair value of the assets acquired, which consisted of $30,000
in cash at closing and a non-interest bearing promissory note of $120,000 that
was paid over twelve months.
Effective
September 16, 2005, the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement pursuant to
which it acquired the Internet related assets of IDACOMM, an Idaho corporation.
The transaction consisted of the acquisition of the dial-up and certain DSL
customers, the related Internet assets and non-compete agreements from the
company. The total purchase price was $1,698,430, representing the fair value of
the assets acquired, less $112,735 for deferred revenues and less a 10%
discount, for a net purchase price of $1,545,304 which consisted of a down
payment of $250,000 with the balance paid by a non-interest bearing note payable
over 7 months. The transaction was accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets
acquired based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of tangible
assets acquired was attributed to the customer list and non-compete agreement,
which were amortized over the estimated three-year life and contractual
three-year life, respectively. The value of the customer list was
determined by multiplying the current market value per customer times the number
of customers purchased at the time of the acquisition.
Effective
January 1, 2006, with a closing date of January 6, 2006, the Company entered
into a Definitive Agreement acquiring the Common Stock of NetRover Inc., a
Canadian ISP and web services corporation. The Definitive Agreement consisted of
the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of NetRover Inc.’s
stock and a non-compete agreement of the company. The total purchase price was
$604,535 which represented the fair value of the stock acquired. The transaction
also consisted of a non-interest bearing promissory note of $403,551 paid over
twelve months, amortized over twenty four months with a balloon payment in the
twelfth month and a down payment consisting of 2,000,000 shares of the
Registrant’s common stock at Closing.
Effective
March 16, 2006, the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement pursuant to
which it acquired the Internet related assets of Prolynx, Inc., a Colorado

Sitestar’s
Business Strategy
The
Company’s growth strategy is to expand its business by increasing its customer
base, services and coverage area. The Company uses marketing, acquisitions and
partnerships to accomplish this. Sitestar’s mission is to increase stockholder
value by increasing revenues, minimizing operational costs and increasing
profits, while maintaining superior products and customer service.
Key
elements of Sitestar’s strategy include:
Increasing
the Dial-up Customer Base. The Company intends to retain its large
regional customer base plus continue to expand its services to a broader
geographic market. The Company attempts to maintain its existing customers by
offering them a high quality service at a reasonable price and value-added
services such as free anti-virus and spam filtering. To address the broader
market potential, the Company has expanded its local coverage areas and has
leased infrastructure from its partners which enables the Company to provide
service to nearly 100% of the people in the United States and
Canada.
7
Increasing
the Broadband Customer Base. The Company offers broadband within its
regional and national footprint. The Company anticipates that it will enter into
additional partnerships to continue to expand its market footprint. The Company
markets Broadband Internet Access through traditional sales
channels.
Increasing
the Product Offerings. The Company anticipates that it is will continue to
offer new products and services, as they become available, through its retail
stores and to its existing Internet customer base. The Company views Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP), services that allow accepting and originating phone
calls through an Internet connection, to be value-added service for both
business and residential customers, and is one of the primary new product
offerings the Company is currently exploring.
Strategic
Acquisitions. The Company has historically acquired companies, assets and
customer bases and intends to continue to consider and execute similar
opportunities to help grow its business.
Increasing
the Economies of Scale. As the Company expands, it is committed to
managing costs and maximizing efficiencies. To optimize its operations, the
Company has acquired and leverages the services of wholesale managed modem
providers to reduce costs and consolidate its network infrastructure. Similarly,
the Company has integrated its offices by deploying VoIP services to better
utilize its human resources and provide more efficient customer
service.
Marketing
Channels
The
Company deploys a variety of marketing strategies and tactics to promote its
products and services, including Web advertisement, affiliate and referral
programs. The Company’s portfolio of websites generates new business on a
consistent and daily basis. In addition, the Company sells its products to
customers who visit its retail store locations. The Company’s indirect
sales channel strategy consists of affiliates such as sales agents, as well as,
companies that market and sell the Company’s services under their own brand. To
date, the Company’s most effective sales lead generation has been through its
customer referral program. To capture greater market share, the Company has
utilized the position of Vice President of Marketing and Business Development.
Key initiatives include increasing affiliate relationships and strategic
acquisitions.
The
Internet services market is extremely competitive and highly fragmented.
The Company faces competition from numerous types of ISPs,
including other national ISPs, telecommunications providers and cable
companies, and anticipates that competition will only intensify in the future as
the ISP industry becomes more mature through provider consolidation and pricing
commoditization. The Company believes that the primary competitive factors in
the Internet services market include:
o Pricing;
o Quality
and breadth of products and services;
o Ease
of use;
o Personal
customer support and service; and
o Brand
awareness.
The
Company believes that it competes favorably based on these factors, particularly
due to:
o National
brand name;
o Highly
responsive customer support and service;
o High
reliability; and
o
Competitive pricing.
8
The
Company currently competes, or expects to compete, with the following types of
companies:
o
|
Local
and regional ISPs and Computer Companies;
|
o
|
National
Internet Service Providers, such as, AOL, MSN (Microsoft Network) and
EarthLink;
|
o
|
Local,
regional and national broadband cable providers, such as Comcast and Cox
Communications;
|
o
|
Providers
of Web hosting, co-location and other Internet-based business
services;
|
o
|
Computer
hardware and other technology companies that provide Internet connectivity
with their own or other products, including IBM and
Microsoft;
|
o
|
National
telecommunication providers, such as Verizon, AT&T and
Qwest;
|
o
|
Regional
Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), Competitive Local Exchange Carriers
(CLECs) and other local telephone companies;
|
o
|
Providers
of free or discount Internet service, including United Online’s and
NetZero;
|
o
|
Terrestrial
wireless and satellite providers, such as Clearwire, WildBlue and
HughesNet; and
|
o
|
Non-profit
or educational ISPs.
|
The
Company’s primary competitors include large companies that have substantially
greater market presence, brand-name recognition and financial resources than the
Company presently enjoys. Secondary competitors include local or regional ISPs
that may benefit from relationships within a particular community.
The
residential broadband Internet access market is dominated by cable companies,
telecommunications companies and CLECs who respectively offer Internet
connectivity through the use of cable modems or Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
programs that provide high speed Internet access using the existing copper wire
telephone infrastructure. Other alternative service companies provide Internet
connectivity via wirelesses terrestrial and satellite-based service
technologies. These competitors enjoy the advantage of being able to leverage
their existing relationships with customers to promote high-speed Internet
services. In addition, they provide incentives for customers to purchase
Internet access by offering discounts for bundled service offerings (i.e.,
phone, television, Internet). While the Company is a reseller of broadband
services including DSL and fiber services, its profit margin is influenced by
the aforementioned threats. Thus, should the Company be unable to provide
technologically competitive service in the marketplace or compete with companies
bundling Internet service with their products, its revenues and profit margins
may decline.
Additionally,
a new dial-up Internet access market segment has been created similar to the
discount or “no frills” airlines. These ISPs deliver dial-up Internet access at
substantially discounted rates with complimentary spam and virus protection, but
charge their customers for technical support. Many ISPs have responded in turn
by creating similar service and pricing plans and or reducing the cost of their
traditional service plans to remain competitively viable. Similarly, a second
dial-up market segment has emerged where value-added services including web
acceleration, spyware and pop-up ad protection are delivered at a premium price.
Thus, the Company believes that if it is unable to compete with lower-cost and
premium service providers, its revenues and profit margins may
decline.
To
address these competitive challenges, the Company will continue to distinguish
itself by offering competitively priced and packaged products, value-added
services and proven customer support. The Company also believes that its ability
to respond quickly and adroitly in providing solutions to its customers’
Internet needs will be a key advantage.

Government
Regulations
There is
currently only a small body of laws and regulations directly applicable to
access or commerce on the Internet. However, it is possible that a number of
laws and regulations may be repealed, modified or adopted at the international,
federal, state and local levels with respect to the Internet, covering issues
such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, characteristics and
quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property
rights, information security and the convergence of traditional
telecommunications services with Internet communications which do, or could
affect the Company.
In
addition, there is substantial uncertainty as to the applicability to the
Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership,
copyrights and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity
and personal privacy. The vast majority of the laws were adopted prior to
the advent of the Internet and, as a result, did not contemplate the unique
issues and environment of the Internet. Future developments in the law
might decrease the growth of the Internet, impose taxes or other costly
technical requirements, create uncertainty in the market or in some other manner
have an adverse effect on the Internet. These developments could, in turn,
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations.
The
Company provides its services through data transmissions over public telephone
lines and other facilities provided by telecommunications companies. These
transmissions are subject to regulation by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), state public utility commissions and foreign governmental authorities.
However, the Company is not subject to direct regulation by the FCC or any other
governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally.
Nevertheless, as Internet services and telecommunications services converge or
the services the Company offers expand, there may be increased regulation of its
business, including regulation by agencies having jurisdiction over
telecommunications services. Additionally, existing telecommunications
regulations affect the Company’s business through regulation of the prices it
pays for transmission services and through regulation of competition in the
telecommunications industry.
The FCC
has ruled that calls to ISPs are jurisdictionally interstate and that ISPs
should not pay access charges applicable to telecommunications carriers.
Several telecommunications carriers are advocating that the FCC regulate
the Internet in the same manner as other telecommunications services by imposing
access fees on ISPs. The FCC is examining inter-carrier compensation for
calls to ISPs, which could affect ISPs' costs and consequently substantially
increase the costs of communicating via the Internet. This increase in
costs could slow the growth of Internet use and thereby decrease the demand for
the Company’s services.
The
Company purchases some components of its broadband services from local carriers
and from other DSL providers that purchase components from local carriers. In
November 1999, the FCC issued a ruling that allowed competitive local phone
companies to “line-share” their broadband DSL services over a phone customer’s
local phone line. The U.S. Court of Appeals changed this decision in May 2002
and in February 2003, the FCC decided to eliminate “line-sharing” over a
three-year phase out. Although the inability to buy these discounted lines could
affect a very small part of the Company’s business, it could cause the growth of
its broadband business to slow if some of its partners, like Covad
Communications Group, Inc., have to pay full-price for their lines. On the
other-hand, however, this may cause less competition in the Company’s local
markets where it offers broadband services.
10
Employees
As of
April 1, 2010, the Company employed twenty full-time individuals. Of
these, the Company has three in management, three in administration, and
fourteen technicians. The Company also employed four part-time
individuals. Of these, the Company has three technicians and one in
management. The Company’s employees are not unionized and it considers its
relations with its employees to be favorable.

EBITDA
(Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) consists of
revenue less cost of revenue and operating expense. EBITDA is provided
because it is a measure commonly used by investors to analyze and compare
companies on the basis of operating performance. EBITDA is presented to enhance
an understanding of the Company’s operating results and is not intended to
represent cash flows or results of operations in accordance with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP) for the periods indicated. EBITDA is not a
measurement under GAAP and is not necessarily comparable with similarly titled
measures for other companies. See the Liquidity and Capital Resource section for
further discussion of cash generated from operations.

following tables show a reconciliation of EBITDA to the GAAP presentation of net
income for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company’s consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year
ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 included in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed
to imply any conclusion that such results or trends will necessarily continue in
the future.
YEAR
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2008
RESTATEMENT
OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
The
Company is restating earnings for the years ended December 31, 2008 to reflect
the proper revenue recognition of processing charges and late fees for customers
cut off from internet service because the collectability of those charges is not
reasonably assured. The restatements had no effect on 2009 revenues,
operating income, pre-tax income, net income or cash-flows. The
correction of the errors reduced 2008 net income by $115,078. The corrections
increased beginning of 2008 accumulated deficit by $185,971.
REVENUE.
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $1,092,651 or
12.4% from $8,785,559 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $7,692,908 for the
same period in 2009. The decrease in Internet sales is attributed to the
lack of acquisitions of Internet access and web hosting customers of ISPs.
Although the Company continues to sign up new customers, competition from
ubiquitous nationwide telecommunications and cable providers threatens
significant and sustainable organic growth. To insure continued strength
in revenues, the Company has acquired and plans to continue to acquire the
assets of additional ISPs, folding them into its operations to provide future
revenues. The Company also plans to market more aggressively on a national level
utilizing scalable tactics and targeting a much larger Internet customer
base.
COST OF
REVENUE. Costs of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased
by $115,997 or 3.8% from $3,061,563 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to
$2,945,566 for the same period in 2009. The decrease is due primarily
to lower volume of revenue. Cost of revenue as a percentage of sales increased
3.4% from 34.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 38.2% for the same
period in 2009 resulting primarily from more costly forms of broadband
service. The Company is continuing to attempt to negotiate more
favorable contracts with telecommunication vendors and making the network
capacity more efficient. The Company expects to continue creating these
efficiencies through wholesale businesses recently acquired.
17
OPERATING
EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased $252,207 or 5.6% from $4,544,239 for the year ended December 31, 2008
to $4,292,032 for the same period in 2009. This is due primarily to a decrease
in amortization and bad debt expenses. Amortization expense, including
impairment decreased $460,600 or 15.9% from $2,899,620 for the year ended
December 31, 2008 to $2,439,020 for the same period in 2009. Wages decreased
$70,194 or 10.2% from $691,393 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $621,199
for the same period in 2009. Partially offsetting this, bad debt expense
increased $309,639 or 130.8% from $236,680 for the year ended December 31, 2008
to $546,319 for the same period in 2009.
INTEREST
EXPENSE. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by
$85,545 or 51.8% from $165,154 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $79,609
for the same period in 2009. This decrease was a result of the
satisfaction of debt from financing recent acquisitions of customer
bases.
INCOME
TAXES. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 corporate
income tax expense (benefit) of $270,590 and $(158,734) were
accrued.
BALANCE
SHEET. Net accounts receivable increased $94,717 or 26.2% from
$361,056 on December 31, 2008 to $455,773 on the same date in
2009. Customer list decreased $2,206,039 or 52.2% from $4,224,414 on
December 31, 2008 to $2,018,375 on December 31, 2009. This decrease
is substantially due to scheduled amortization. Deferred tax assets
increased $339,830 from $421,031 on December 31, 2008 to $760,861 on December
31, 2009. This is due to the recognition of tax benefits of timing
differences of certain tax deductions. Other assets decreased $87,323
or 15.0% from $583,637 on December 31, 2008 to $496,314 on December 31,
2009. This decrease is substantially due to recognizing a receivable
from an insurance claim offset by scheduled amortization of non-compete
agreements associated with acquisitions. Accounts payable increased
by $50,706 or 62.7% from $80,892 on December 31, 2008 to $131,598 for the same
period in 2009. This resulted from a disputed telecommunications
invoice which was resolved in the first quarter of 2010. Accrued
income taxes increased $152,518 from $262,297 on December 31, 2008 to $414,815
on December 31, 2009. Accrued expenses decreased by $65,830 or 69.4%
from $94,882 on December 31, 2008 to $29,052 on December 31, 2009.
Deferred revenue decreased by $296,362 or 25.6% from $1,157,597 on
December 31, 2008 to $861,235 on December 31, 2009 representing corresponding
reduced revenue from which customers have prepaid services on December 31,
2009. Notes payable decreased $554,000. This is primarily result of
the payoff of all bank debt leaving only seller notes from
acquisitions.

Sales of
Internet services which are not automatically processed via credit card or bank
account drafts have been the company’s highest exposure to collection
risk. To help offset this exposure, the Company has added a late
payment fee to encourage timely payment by customers. Another effort to improve
customer collections was the implementation of a uniform manual invoice
processing fee, which has also helped to accelerate collections procedures.
These steps and more aggressive collection efforts have shifted accounts
receivable to a more current status which is easier to collect. The accounts
receivable balance in the Current category increased from 15.0% to 76.0% of
total accounts receivable from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009. The
balance in the 30+ day category decreased from 44.0% to 13.0% of total accounts
receivable from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009. The balance in the
60+ day category decreased from 40.0% to 11.0% of total accounts receivable from
December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009.
The aging
of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 is as

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders
SiteStar
Corporation
Lynchburg,
VA 24502-2334
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SiteStar Corporation as
of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31,
2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated
financial statements of SiteStar Corporation as of December 31, 2008, and for
the year then ended (before they were restated for the matter discussed in Note
2 to the financial statements,) were audited by other auditors whose report,
dated May 13, 2009, (September 15, 2009, as the effects of the restatement
discussed in Note 1), expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of SiteStar Corporation as of
December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
As
discussed above, the consolidated financial statements of SiteStar Corporation
as of December 31, 2008, and for the year then ended were audited by other
auditors. As described in Note 2, these financial statements have
been restated. We audited the adjustments described in Note 2 that
were applied to restate the 2008 financial statements. In our opinion, such
adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. However,
we were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2008
financial statements of the Company other than with respect to such adjustments
and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on
the 2008 financial statements taken as a whole.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of
Directors and Stockholders
Sitestar
Corporation
7109
Timberlake Road, Suite 201
Lynchburg,
VA 24502
We have
audited before the effects of the adjustments for the correction of the error
described in Note 2, the consolidated balance sheet of Sitestar Corporation,
(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. The 2008
financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, except for the error described in Note 2, the 2008 consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Sitestar Corporation, as of December 31, 2008, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
We were
not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the adjustments for the
correction of the error described in Note 2 and, accordingly, we do not express
an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such adjustments are
appropriate and have been properly applied. Those adjustments were audited by
the Santora CPA Group.
As
discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the accompanying financial
statements have been restated.

NOTE 1 -
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Subsequent
to the issuance of the 2008 financial statements, Sitestar Corporation
determined that the income tax provision should have been included in the
financial statements and adopted the recommendation of the Board of Directors
and determined that previously reported results should be
restated. The restatement resulted from a material weakness in
internal control over financial reporting, namely, that the Company did not have
adequately designed procedures to calculate or review the tax
provision.
Organization and Line of
Business
Sitestar
Corporation (formerly White Dove Systems, Inc., Interfoods Consolidated, Inc.,
was known as Holland American International Specialties (HAIS)), (the Company),
began operations on June 1, 1997, under a partnership agreement, and was
incorporated in Nevada on November 4, 1997. On July 26, 1999, the Company
restated its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to
“Sitestar Corporation.” The Company was in the International specialty foods
distribution business. In 1999, through the acquisition of two Internet
Service Providers, the Company changed from a food distribution company to an
Internet holding company. The Company services customers throughout the
U.S. and Canada with multiple sites of operation. Sitestar is
headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Principles of
Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including: Sitestar.net, Inc.
(formerly know as Neocom Microspecialists, Inc.), FRE Enterprises, Inc.,
Advanced Internet Services, Inc. and NetRover Inc. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of
Estimates
In
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals the preparation of
these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.
On an
ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those
related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and
contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on
historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The most significant
accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial
statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain
assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These
accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and
analysis and in the consolidated financial statements included in this
report.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
For
certain of the Company's assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue, the
carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The
amounts shown for notes payable also approximate fair value because current
interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are
substantially the same.

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents
as all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less.
Concentration of Credit
Risk
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk, consist of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash
with high quality financial institutions and, at times, may exceed the FDIC
$250,000 insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an
evaluation of the customers’ financial condition, generally without collateral.
Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each
customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for
credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.
Accounts
Receivable
The
Company grants credit in the form of unsecured accounts receivable to its
customers. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is
charged off to bad debt expense, is based on management’s assessment of current
economic conditions and historical collection experience with each customer.
Specific customer receivables are considered past due when they are outstanding
beyond their contractual terms and are charged off to the allowance for doubtful
accounts when determined uncollectible.
For the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, bad debt expense was $546,319 and
$236,680. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, accounts receivable consists of the

Sales of
Internet services, which are not automatically processed via credit card or bank
account drafts, have been the company’s highest exposure to collection risk.
To help offset this exposure, the company has added a late payment fee to
encourage timely payments by customers. Another effort to improve customer
collections was the implementation of a uniform manual invoice processing fee,
which has also helped to accelerate collections process. Accounts over ninety
days past due are no longer included in accounts receivable and are turned over
to a collection agency.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
declining balance method based on estimated useful lives from three to seven
years for equipment and thirty nine years for buildings. Expenditures for
maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and
betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the
results of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
In
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP), “Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived assets to be held
and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
30
SITESTAR
CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
The
Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances
have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications
of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related
asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets
are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be
sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to
their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed are reported
at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the asset less cost to
sell.
The
Company maintained a financial interest in the operations of Servatus
Development, LLC, the purchasing entity, and in addition, still maintains
programming services for its customers. Per the Definitive Agreement to sell the
assets, the Company is entitled to 20% of the gross revenue of Servatus for the
first four years of operations. Also per the Definitive Agreement, the Company
maintains the rights to the crisis management software developed by Sitestar
Applied Technologies. The Company received $0 and $8,734 during the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Intangible
Assets
The
Company continually monitors its intangible assets to determine whether any
impairment has occurred. In making such determination with respect to
these assets, the Company evaluates the performance, on an undiscounted cash
flow basis, of the intangible assets or group of assets.
Should
impairment be identified, a loss would be reported to the extent that the
carrying value of the related intangible asset exceeds its fair value using the
discounted cash flow method.
The
Company's customer lists are being amortized over three years.
Amortization expense for the customer lists was $2,273,437 and
$2,706,287 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The
Company's customer lists are being amortized over three years.
Amortization of customer lists for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011
and 2012 is expected to be $1,694,310, $324,065 and $0, respectively.
Amortization expense for the non-competition agreement was $165,583 and
$179,692 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. In accordance with
GAAP, amortization of goodwill ceased effective January 1, 2002.
Amortization of non-competition for the years ended December 31, 2010,
2011 and 2012 is expected to be $133,250, $15,361 and $0,
respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2009 there was no
impairment of goodwill.
Inventory
Inventory
consists principally of products purchased for resale and are maintained at the
lower of cost (first in - first out basis) or market. Due to the slow moving
nature of inventory management has reclassified it on the balance sheets from
current assets to other assets held for resale. The retail operations of
Sitestar Corporation, Computers by Design has changed the focus of generating
revenue from building new equipment to providing professional services,
repairing and maintaining customer systems. This shift in direction,
precipitated by eroding profit margins resulting from intense competition, has
slowed inventory turns of hardware used in building equipment for resale. While
inventory maintains a marketable value, it is integrated into sales at a reduced
rate as repairs to equipment as opposed to becoming a component in a constructed
system. Consumers will reasonably continue to use the technology level of
equipment represented by Sitestar inventory, and therefore, will continue for
the near future to be required components in the repair and maintenance of their
systems. It is for these reasons that inventory was reclassified from current
assets to other assets held for resale to more properly reflect its use.
Inventory was valued on December 31, 2009 and 2008 at $70,819 and
$70,443.

Deferred
Revenue
Deferred
revenue represents collections from customers in advance for services not yet
performed and are recognized as revenue in the period service is
provided.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company sells Internet services under annual and monthly contracts. Under
the annual contracts, the subscriber pays a one-time annual fee, which is
recognized as revenue ratably over the life of the contract. Under the monthly
contracts, the subscriber is billed monthly and revenue is recognized for the
period the service relates. Sales of computer hardware are recognized
as revenue upon delivery and acceptance of the product by the customer. Sales
are adjusted for any returns or allowances.
Advertising and Marketing
Costs
The
Company expenses costs of advertising and marketing as they are incurred.
These expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were
approximately $36,000 and $38,000, respectively.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
taxes are provided on the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are
recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are
the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their
tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of
the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the
date of enactment.
Income Per
Share
The basic
income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted income per common share is computed similar to basic income per
common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of
additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential
common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
The Company has no potentially dilutive securities. The following

Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
In April
2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 350-30, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets. FASB ASC 350-30 amends the factors an entity should consider
in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful
life of recognized intangible assets under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, and adds certain disclosures for an entity’s accounting
policy of the treatment of the costs, period of extension, and total costs
incurred. FASB ASC 350-30must be applied prospectively to intangible
assets acquired after January 1, 2009. The Company’s adoption of FASB
ASC 350-30 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 320-10, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. FASB ASC 320-10 amends the
other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the
guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of
other-than-temporary impairments in the financial statements. The most
significant change FASB ASC 320-10 brings is a revision to the amount of
other-than-temporary loss of a debt security recorded in earnings. FASB ASC
320-10 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June
15, 2009 The Company’s adoption of FASB ASC 320-10 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 820-10, Determining Fair Value When the Volume
and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased
and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FASB ASC 820-10 provides
additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of
activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FASB ASC
820-10 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a
transaction is not orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a
significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a
fair value measurement remains the same.
Fair
value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or
distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under
current market conditions. FASB ASC 820-10 is effective for interim and annual
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is applied prospectively. The
Company’s adoption of FASB ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 825-10, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments. FASB ASC 825-10 amends FASB Statement No. 107,
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures
about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of
publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FASB ASC
825-10 also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require
those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting
periods FASB ASC 825-10 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods
ending after June 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of issued FASB ASC 825-10 did

In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB ASC 105-10,
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. FASB ASC 105-10
establishes the FASB Standards Accounting Codification (“Codification”) as the
source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to
nongovernmental entities. The only other source of authoritative GAAP is the
rules and interpretive releases of the SEC which only apply to SEC registrants.
The Codification will supersede all the existing non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards upon its effective date. Since the issuance of the
Codification is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, adoption of this
statement will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results
of operations, but will change the way in which GAAP is referenced in the
Company’s financial statements. FASB ASC 105-10 is effective for
interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15,
2009.
In May
2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855-10, Subsequent Events, which establishes
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after
the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are
available to be issued. The Company adopted FASB ASC 855-10 effective
April 1, 2009 and has evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet
date of September 30, 2009 through the date the financial statements were
issued.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, “Revenue
Recognition (Topic 605)”. This Update provides amendments to the criteria in
Subtopic 605-24 for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable revenue
arrangements. It establishes a hierarchy of selling prices to determine the
selling price of each specific deliverable which includes vendor-specific
objective evidence (if available), third-party evidence (if vendor-specific
evidence is not available), or estimated selling price if neither of the first
two are available. This Update also eliminates the residual method for
allocating revenue between the elements of an arrangement and requires that
arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement.
Finally, this Update expands the disclosure requirements regarding a vendor’s
multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This Update is effective for fiscal
years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We do not anticipate any
material impact from this Update.
NOTE 2
-RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company is restating earnings for the years ended December 31, 2008 to reflect
the proper revenue recognition of processing charges and late fees for customers
cut off from internet service because the collectability of those charges is not
reasonably assured. In addition, the Company will institute ongoing
monitoring that constantly occurs in the ordinary course of
operations.
The
restatements had no effect on 2009 revenues, operating income, pre-tax income,
net income or cash-flows. The Company intends to amend the Company's tax
returns.
During
the audit of the Company’s financial statement for the year-ended December 31,
2009, Management of the Company was first advised by the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm, that an error existed in its revenue
recognition of late and billing fees.

Management
performed a detailed reconciliation of revenue and related accounts beginning in
2007 in order to quantify the potential balance adjustments. The Company’s
Management upon being advised by its Independent Auditor of the calculation
issue, as part of its Sarbanes Oxley policy regarding internal controls
regarding financial reporting, immediately reported this issue to the Board of
Directors which promptly initiated and conducted its review.
Management
and the Board of Directors reviewed management’s findings and the Board of
Directors concluded that restating the consolidated financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 2008 is required. The Company is restating for errors
identified in its revenue accounts pertaining to the recognition of processing
and late fees and, the related trade accounts receivable and bad
debts. The effects of these restatements are included in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The
Company was notified by Santora CPA Group that they had identified a material
weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting with respect
to the recognition of processing charges and late fees for customers cut off
from internet service because of the collectability of those charges is not
reasonably assured, namely, that the Company did not have adequately designed
procedures to calculate or review the processing charges and late fees for
customers.
The
Company was notified by Santora CPA Group that they had identified a material
weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting with respect
to ongoing monitoring does not always occur in the ordinary course of
operations, namely, that the Company's financial accounting and reporting
functions are not properly segregated and no monitoring system consistently
exists to mitigate the risk of financial statement error.
Based on
the results of these material weaknesses, the Company concluded that the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December
31, 2009.
As of May
3, 2010, we began evaluating the processing charges and late fees for customers
and remediated the related internal control weakness. The Company has evaluated
the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal
controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, including the
remedial actions discussed above.
This
evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective. Except for the aforementioned controls and procedures for
processing charges and late fees for customers, there were no significant
changes to our internal controls during the last fiscal quarter ended December
31, 2009.
Disclosure
controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation,
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Company
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange
Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures.
47
In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we and our
management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the
desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply
its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and
procedures. The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to
various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in
decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the
soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of
fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with
policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these
limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls
and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful
in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in
a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
Inherent
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control.
A control
deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the ordinary course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate,
authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in
accordance with GAAP, such that there is a more than remote likelihood that a
misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is
more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
