The restatements reflect adjustments related to the under-accrual of legal fees for a settlement entered into on February 6, 2015. In addition, the Company has reclassified certain expenses from the Internet division to the Real estate division. The results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015, have been restated with respect to this accounting for such matters where appropriate. (See Note 1 of the financial statements.)

 

Sitestar Corporation is also revising the discussion under Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 4, Controls and Procedures in order to reflect the effects of these restatements.

 

Except with respect to these matters, the Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q/A do not reflect any events that have occurred after the 2015 Form 10-Q was originally filed.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by SiteStar Corporation (the “Company” or “SiteStar”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2015.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

See the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during this fiscal quarter has had or is expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

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 table represents the calculations of basic and diluted income per share:

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

		Restated 2015				2014
Net income (loss) available to common shareholders		$	80,969			$	78,293
Weighted average number of common shares			74,085,705				74,085,705
Basic and diluted income per share		$	0.00			$	0.00

Litigation

United Systems Access, Inc., et al. v. SiteStar Corporation, Civil Action, Docket No. CV-13-161, (York County Superior Court). This is a breach of contract claim, whereby Plaintiff has alleged that SiteStar has failed to pay the amounts owed on a Promissory Note. SiteStar has filed a counterclaim for damages for overpayments and breach of contract associated with Plaintiff’s misrepresentation of the customer lists and was shorted revenues associated the number of customers contracted for. Plaintiff seeks monetary damages in the amount of $900,615. Litigation is currently in the discovery phase of litigation.

 

The parties have exchanged documents but have not yet taken depositions. SiteStar is currently contesting the Litigation. A mediation hearing in the matter took place on April 25, 2014, as required by the Maine Rules of Civil Procedure, however, no ruling has yet been issued. The estimate of the upper limit of a potential loss is $900,615 which has been accrued. A judicial settlement conference was held in June with no agreement reached. Management is vigorously defending this claim.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED

 

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In a preliminary information statement filed April, 21, 2015, it was disclosed that Frank R. Erhartic, Jr, as President of the Company, and Daniel A. Judd, .as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, entered into a Settlement Agreement with Jeffrey I. Moore, Julia H. Moore, Jay B. Moore, William T. May, M & M Investments, Arquitos Capital Partners, LP, Arquitos Capital Management, LLC, Steven L. Kiel, Alesia Value Fund LLC, Alesia Asset Management LLC, Christopher Olin and Jeremy K. Gold (collectively, the “Moore Shareholder Group”). The Settlement Agreement settles and resolves certain matters relating to the Moore Shareholder Group’s proxy solicitation and the special meeting of Company stockholders that was scheduled to be held February 12, 2015 (the “Special Meeting”) as well as a lawsuit filed by the Company against the Moore Shareholder Group seeking to, among other things, enjoin the Moore Shareholder Group from voting its proxies at the Special Meeting.

 

In contemplation of the actions agreed to by the Company and Messrs. Erhartic, Jr. and Judd, and to avoid the significant expenses that the Company would likely incur in pursuing its lawsuit and continuing its opposition of the Moore Shareholder Group’s proxy solicitation, the Moore Shareholder Group agreed to withdraw its proxy statement for the Special Meeting and cease soliciting proxies for the election of its slate of director nominees.

 

Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company and the Moore Shareholder Group will each pay for their respective costs incurred in connection with the proxy solicitation, settlement of claims and related matters, except that the Company will reimburse the Moore Shareholder Group for up to $40,000 of its expenses. The Settlement Agreement also includes certain standstill provisions and a general release of claims among the Parties.

 

In October 2015, the Company paid the remaining $30,000 balance in legal fees related to the Settlement Agreement to its corporate counsel. (A total of $132,000 in legal fees were incurred by the Company related to this settlement.)

 

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

General

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in the 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.

 

Overview

 

Internet

 

SiteStar is an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that offers consumer and business-grade Internet access, wholesale managed modem services for downstream ISPs and Web hosting.  SiteStar also delivers value-added services including spam, virus and spyware protection, pop-up ad blocking and web acceleration.  The Company maintains multiple sites of operation and provides services to customers throughout the U.S. and Canada.

 

The products and services that the Company provides include:

•

Internet access services;

•

Web acceleration services;

•

Web hosting services;

 

The Company’s Internet division markets and sells narrow-band (dial-up and ISDN) and broadband services (DSL, fiber-optic and wireless), and supports these products utilizing its own infrastructure and affiliations.  Value-added services include web acceleration, spam and virus filtering, as well as, spyware protection. Additionally, the Company markets and sells web hosting and related services to consumers and businesses.

 

Real Estate

 

SiteStar is also a real estate investment entity that acquires distressed real estate primarily from foreclosure auctions at a substantial discount from market value. The acquired properties are initially evaluated to determine if they will be held for lease or resale and for their condition of repair, location and refurbish costs.

 

When the intended use has been determined and the nature and quality of the refurbishing is determined, the work is scheduled as soon as possible. For example, if a property is intended for rental use the quality of the refurbishing would be less than if it were to be showcased for resale because a tenant would more than likely diminish the value of the higher quality work as opposed to a resale that would need to show well. Other work for a rental unit might involve adding rooms in a basement or dividing the property into multi-family units that would bring in more rental income but not be as desirable from a single home owner’s perspective.

 

After the property has been refurbished for its intended use, it is placed in the applicable market. Rental units are listed in local media as available for rent and are shown to those responding who are financially qualified. If a mutual decision is made to proceed, a lease is drafted and signed and the tenants will put the required deposit down and move in. The deposit is recorded as a liability on the books and rental income is recognized as collected. If the property is to be sold, it is placed in local media for sale and is shown to prospective home owners. After a purchase contract has been accepted, the closing is scheduled and the ownership of the property changes hands. The sale of the property is

then recorded in accordance with the closing statement and the related costs are expensed.

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 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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued

 

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 2014 

 

REVENUE

 

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $100,536 or 18.9% from $531,438 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $430,902 for the same period in 2015.

 

Internet sales decreased $92,539 or 18.5% from $499,618 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $407,079 for the same period in 2015. 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.

 

Rental income decreased $7,997 or 25.1% from $31,820 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $23,823 for the same period in 2015. Vacancies due to turnover of tenants led to this decrease in rental income. Repairs and maintenance for lease ups did not keep pace with turnovers. Management is focused to increase rental revenue in future periods with more units coming on line and faster unit turnaround times. No property sales occurred in the 2015 and 2014 three-month period.

 

Currently SiteStar is concentrating its real estate resources in the rental use of properties as opposed to resale. Rental use of properties generates a larger return on investment and revenue stream over time than a sale but does not generate large current revenue compared to a sale of the properties. There is a strong demand for rental property in the geographic locations where the Company’s properties are located and given the current inventory of single family houses, rental income with the higher return on investment will provide a superior revenue stream for the future years.

 

COST OF REVENUE

 

Total costs of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $44,330 or 23.3% from $189,983 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $145,653 for the same period in 2015.

 

Cost of Internet revenue decreased $66,895 or 38.0% from $175,836 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $108,941 for the same period in 2015. Internet cost of revenue decreased resulting primarily from restructuring the internet backbone providers to scale expenses with revenue. 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 business partners.

 

Cost of real estate revenue increased $22,565 or 160.0% from $14,147 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $36,712 for the same period in 2015. The increase in real estate cost of revenue is a reflection of the costs associated with the renovation to lease up rental properties. Costs of revenue for rental properties is minimal compared to the sale of properties, reflecting repairs, taxes and depreciation expenses as opposed to the total costs of a property when sold.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased $16,196 or 8.6% from $187,632 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $203,828 for the same period in 2015. This increase is primarily due to additional legal fees paid during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

SiteStar recognized deferred tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of $74,275 versus no recognition of deferred tax expense in the current year 2015.

 

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued

 

INTEREST EXPENSE

 

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $1,201 or 100.0% from the three months ended June 30, 2014. The debt of this interest expense was paid off during 2014.

 

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 2014 

 

REVENUE

 

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $322,711 or 26.7% from $1,210,562 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $877,851 for the same period in 2015.

 

Internet sales decreased $192,801 or 18.9% from $1,018,854 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $826,053 for the same period in 2015. 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.

 

Real estate sales decreased $129,910 or 67.8% from $191,708 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $61,798 for the same period in 2015. Principally, the decrease represents the sale of a residential property for $140,000 in 2014. No property sales occurred in the 2015 six-month period.

 

Currently SiteStar is concentrating its real estate resources in the rental use of properties as opposed to resale. Rental use of properties generates a larger return on investment and revenue stream over time than a sale but does not generate large current revenue compared to a sale of the properties. There is a strong demand for rental property in the geographic locations where the Company’s properties are located and given the current inventory of single family houses, rental income with the higher return on investment will provide a superior revenue stream for the future years.

 

COST OF REVENUE

 

Total costs of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $218,979 or 41.0% from $534,551 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $315,572 for the same period in 2015.

 

Cost of Internet revenue decreased $119,114 or 31.8% from $374,612 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $255,498 for the same period in 2015. Internet cost of revenue decreased primarily from restructuring the internet backbone providers to scale expenses with revenue. 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 business partners.

 

Cost of real estate revenue decreased $99,865 or 62.4% from $159,939 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $60,074 for the same period in 2015. The decrease in real estate cost of revenue is a reflection of the costs associated with the sale of a residential property in 2014 but not in 2015. Costs of revenue for rental properties is minimal compared to the sale of properties, reflecting repairs, taxes and depreciation expenses as opposed to the total costs of a property when sold.

 

OPERATING EXPENSES

 

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $84,466 or 18.0% from $469,429 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $553,895 for the same period in 2015. This increase is primarily due to an increase in professional fees for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

 

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued

 

INCOME TAXES

 

SiteStar recognized deferred tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $74,275 versus no recognition of deferred tax expense in the current year 2015.

 

INTEREST EXPENSE

 

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $2,365 or 100.0% from the six months ended June 30, 2014. The debt of this interest expense was paid off during 2014.

  

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

Net accounts receivable decreased $1,624 or 7.4% from $21,811 on December 31, 2014 to $20,187 on June 30, 2015.  Real estate increased net $275,952 or 8.1% from $3,400,463 on December 31, 2014 to $3,676,415 on June 30, 2015. Real estate held for investment increased $174,188 or 15.7% representing an increase in properties that have been refurbished and ready for rental placement, shifting costs from real estate held for resale which increased $101,764 or 4.4% to $2,394,825 on June 30, 2015 from $2,293,061 on December 31, 2014. Accounts payable increased by $42,149 or 281.7% from $14,963 on December 31, 2014 to $57,112 on June 30, 2015. Professional fees incurred are the reason for the increase. Deferred revenue decreased by $355 or 0% from $273,440 on December 31, 2014 to $273,085 on June 30, 2015 representing decrease in volume of customer accounts that have been prepaid.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $155,493 and $369,694 at June 30, 2015 and at December 31, 2014. EBITDA was $56,357 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $217,946 for the same period in 2014.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, continued

 

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 remained at 65% of total accounts receivable from December 31, 2014 to 65% on June 30, 2015.  The balance in the 30+ day category decreased from 26% of total accounts receivable from December 31, 2014 to 23% on June 30 2015.  The balance in the 60+ day category increased from 9% to 12% of total accounts receivable from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015.

 

Investments in real estate are funded primarily from the cash flows generated from the Internet Service Provider division and have not and do not anticipate this to change in the near future. This course of action does not impair the cash flows of the Company. SiteStar does not commit to purchase real estate beyond the ability of the cash flows and has not borrowed money for this purpose. Management evaluates property as it becomes available with respect to the market value versus the acquisition cost, in addition to other conditions that could affect the resale value. Renovations are made as needed to maximize the market appeal and value prior to listing for sale.

 

The aging of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is as shown:

 

				2015								2014
	Current			$	13,136				65	%		$	14,185				65	%

Litigation

United Systems Access, Inc., et al. v. SiteStar Corporation, Civil Action, Docket No. CV-13-161, (York County Superior Court). This is a breach of contract claim, whereby Plaintiff has alleged that SiteStar has failed to pay the amounts owed on a Promissory Note. SiteStar has filed a counterclaim for damages for overpayments and breach of contract associated with Plaintiff’s misrepresentation of the customer lists and was shorted revenues associated the number of customers contracted for. Plaintiff seeks monetary damages in the amount of $900,615. Litigation is currently in the discovery phase of litigation. The parties have exchanged documents but have not yet taken depositions. SiteStar is currently contesting the Litigation. A mediation hearing in the matter took place on April 25, 2014, as required by the Maine Rules of Civil Procedure, however, no ruling has yet been issued. The estimate of the upper limit of a potential loss is $900,615 which has been accrued. A judicial settlement conference was held in July with no agreement reached. Management is vigorously defending this claim.

 

The Company was able to pay $23,239 in legal fees in subsequent quarters from operating cash flows.

None.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of June 30, 2015, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Because of inherent limitations, any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objective. Based on material weaknesses in our internal control, as described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2015.

The management of SiteStar is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on such criteria. We have reviewed the results of management’s assessment with our Board of Directors. In addition, we will evaluate any changes to our internal control on a quarterly basis to determine if a material change occurred.

 

Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls

 

As defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 5, a material weakness is a significant control deficiency, or a combination of significant control deficiencies, that results in there being more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

As a result of our evaluation, we identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015:

 

We did not maintain proper segregation of duties for the preparation of our financial statements. Due to the size of our administrative staff, all accounting and reporting functions are handled by a single individual, our Chief Financial Officer, with little or no oversight and review.

 

We did not maintain appropriate controls over changes to the list of key individuals, and changes to the list tracking the number of shares held by key individuals, in the shareholder database.  The Company, during this next quarter, will have an appropriate individual periodically review the list of key individuals and the complete and accurate reporting of their records in the proper periods.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures, continued

 

We did not maintain appropriate controls over accounts payable. Invoices that are being disputed with the vendor are not entered into accounts payable until the disputes are resolved. In order to keep track of these invoices, and accrue appropriate amounts the Company, will begin to enter disputed invoices into the accounts payable system when they are received and a notation will be made that they are not to be paid until the dispute is resolved.

 

Changes in Our Internal Control

 

Except as noted above, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within SiteStar have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments and decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or my management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
