JUNE 30, 2009

NOTE 1 – 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 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 footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009.

NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
The Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 128, "Accounting for Earnings Per Share" requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statements of income and requires a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation. Basic earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share is computed using weighted average shares outstanding adjusted to reflect the dilutive effect of all potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008:

NOTE 5 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENTS
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.
 
FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, does not provide adequate information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. Accordingly, this Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of FASB No. 161, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or on the results of operations.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  This Statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy).  The Board concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and is issuing this Statement to achieve that result.  This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of FASB No. 162, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or on the results of operations.

NOTE 5 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENTS, continued
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.  This Statement clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. These clarifications will increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of FASB No. 163, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or on the results of operations.
 
NOTE 6 – ACQUISITIONS

Comcation, Inc.
Effective March 1, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to which it acquired the Internet related assets of Comcation, Inc., a Pennsylvania ISP.  The total purchase price was $38,500 representing the fair value of the assets acquired which consisted of a $9,135 cash payment at closing with the remaining balance paid in 5 monthly installments beginning April 2008.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.  Sitestar has assessed the valuations of certain intangible assets as represented below.

NOTE 7 — PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES, continued

At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset since management has not been able to determine that the realization of that asset is more likely than not.  Net operating loss carry forwards was entirely applied for the year ended December 31, 2007.

NOTE 8 – 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 was $1,270,065 and $1,467,168 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 9 – 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.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by $326,633 or 6.3% from $5,159,244 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $4,832,611 for the same period in 2009.  Internet sales decreased primarily due to customer attrition to broadband services and offset in part by the addition of Internet customers from asset acquisitions.  To insure continued strength in revenues, the Company has acquired and plans to continue to acquire the assets of additional ISPs and fold them into its operations to provide future revenues.

COST OF REVENUE

Costs of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased by $284,920 or 20.5% from $1,387,801 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $1,672,721 for the same period in 2009.  Cost of revenue increased as a result of increasing the product mix with more broadband services which carries a higher cost of providing bandwidth and connectivity.  This is a reflection of the acquisitions of fiber and DSL customers late in  the second quarter and fourth quarters of 2008.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses its condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as promulgated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. 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 condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.
 
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk  
 
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

The Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect internal control over financial reporting.

SITESTAR CORPORATION
 
Controls and Procedures, continued
 
Disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company 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 the Company in the reports that the Company file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company management, including Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Disclosure Controls and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Company management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company’s financial reporting. Management did not use a framework to conduct the required evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting since, in the view of management, comparison with a framework was unwarranted because the size of the Company's current operations are such that management is aware of all current transactions.

 An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the President (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting and Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the quarter ended June 30, 2009 covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls
 
Bagell, Josephs, Levine & Company, L.L.C. (“Bagell”) our independent registered public accounting firm, has provided us with an unqualified report on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. However, during the conduct of our audit for the year ended December 31, 2008 Bagell identified a material weakness in the calculation of the tax provision and have advised our board of directors that the following material weakness existed at December 31, 2008. As defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5, a material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
The material weakness exists in the internal control over financial reporting with respect to accounting for the income tax provision, namely, that we did not have adequately designed procedures to calculate or review the tax provision. Solely as a result of this material weakness, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2008. 

 
33

 

 SITESTAR CORPORATION

Controls and Procedures, continued

 While this material weakness did not have an effect on our reported results, it nevertheless constituted a deficiency in our controls. In light of this material weakness and the requirements enacted by the Sarbanes-Oxley act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our controls and procedures needed improvement and were not effective at a reasonable assurance level. Despite this deficiency in our internal controls, management believes that there were no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact in this annual report.
 
Since the discovery of the material weaknesses in the tax provision we began evaluating the tax provision and remediated the related internal control weakness. We have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect, including the remedial actions discussed above, and we have concluded that, as of this date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
We have discussed our corrective actions and future plans with our board of directors and Bagell as of the date of this annual report, and believe the planned actions should serve to correct the above listed material weaknesses in our internal controls. However, we cannot provide assurance that either we or our independent auditors will not in the future identify further material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that we have not discovered to date.

Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

The Company's management, including the President (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting and Financial Officer), confirm that there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
