These restatements reflect the effects of adjustments for the accounting related to various matters detailed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These restatements reflect adjustments for transactions related to corporate income taxes as filed for the year ended December 31, 2008.  In addition, results for 2008 have been restated with respect to the accounting for such matters where appropriate. Accordingly, amounts included in Selected Financial Data, are restated.

NOTE 1 – RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      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 we did not have adequately designed procedures to calculate or review the tax provision.  The effects of the restatement adjustments on Sitestar Corporation’s originally reported financial position for the periods ended September 30, 2008, results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008 are summarized below.

NOTE 3 – 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.

NOTE 7 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENTS

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits companies to choose to measure, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The Company believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or on the results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”).  This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, determines what information to disclose. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the

beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of FAS No. 141, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or on the results of operations.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“FAS 160”).  This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of FAS No. 160, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or on the results of operations.
 
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.

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 9 -- PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for 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.

The provision for federal and state income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 included the following: 

   
2008
   
2007
 
Current provision:
           
Federal
  $ 216,123     $ -  
State
    38,139       -  
Deferred provision:
               
Federal
    (254,278 )     316,569  
State
    (44,872 )     55,865  
Valuation allowance     -       (372,434 )
Total income tax provision
  $ (44,888 )   $ -  

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities at September 30, 2008 December 31, 2007 are as follows:

At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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 $285,561 were applied for the year ended December 31, 2007. Loss carry forwards are set to begin expiring in 2021 for both federal and state purposes.

NOTE 10 – 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 $2,192,950 and $965,513 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

NOTE 13 - ALLEVIATION OF GOING CONCERN

At September 30, 2007, the Company reported that it had a working capital deficiency of $566,269. This condition raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern at that time.
 
The Company had income from operations for each of the two years ended December 31, 2007 of $956,170 and $1,179,677. The Company also had positive cash flows from operations of $2,805,883 and $2,465,289 for the two years ended December 31, 2007. In addition, the Company projects positive cash flows for the next twelve months.

REVENUE.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $3,193,938 or 71.8% from $4,450,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $7,644,538 for the same period in 2008.  Internet sales increased primarily due to the addition of Internet customers from the asset acquisition of USA Telephone.

SITESTAR CORPORATION

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

This acquisition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, yielded approximately $3,452,000 in additional net revenues. This increase from acquisitions was offset by additional attrition to broadband service.  Sitestar focuses on marketing and selling Internet access to second-tier markets where broadband is not prevalent.  The Company’s strategy is to leverage operational economies of scale to provide dial-up service in these markets where it will continue to be the core method for connecting to the Internet.

While Sitestar is currently adding customers through promotional marketing campaigns, this method for strong and sustainable growth is threatened by competition from nationally-known ISPs and discount dial-up providers, as well as, from the future introduction of broadband services.  To increase its dial-up base, the Company plans to continue to acquire ISPs in these target markets.

COST OF REVENUE.

Costs of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $693,661 or 49.4% from $1,403,848 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $2,097,509 for the same period in 2008.  This increase is due to telecommunications expenses associated with the acquisitions of additional customers.  It also reflects the economies of an increased customer base as indicated by decrease in the cost of revenue percentage by 4.1% from 31.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to 27.4% for the same period in 2008.

OPERATING EXPENSES.
 
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased $1,998,968 or 85.6% from $2,336,151 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $4,335,119 for the same period in 2008.  Amortization expense increased $1,227,437 or 127.1% from $965,513 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $2,192,950 for the same period in 2008.  This increase is due to the acquisition of customer bases.  Bad debt expenses increased $698,304 or 185.7% from $375,962 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $1,074,266 for the same period in 2008.   Corporate expenses of $88,893 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 consisted primarily of professional fees. Corporate expenses of $53,320 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 consisted primarily of professional fees.

JUNE 30, 2008 (Unaudited) COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2007 (Audited)

FINANCIAL CONDITION.

Net accounts receivable increased $382,656 or 127.6% from $299,863 on December 31, 2007 to $682,519 on September 30, 2008.  This increase is substantially due to the addition of customers from acquisitions.  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 which decreased by $1,081 or 01.5% from $70,739 on December 31, 2007 to $69,658 on September 30, 2008.  Accounts payable decreased by $56,305 or 71.5% from $78,713 on December 31, 2007 to $22,408 on September 30, 2008.

This decrease is the result of servicing term notes and the early payoff of term notes payable. Long-term notes payable to stockholders decreased $147,406 or 21.5% from $686,687 on December 31, 2007 to $539,281 on September 30, 2008.

At September 30, 2007, the Company reported that it had a working capital deficiency of $566,269. This condition raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern at that time.  The Company had income from operations for each of the two years ended December 31, 2007 of $956,170 and $1,179,677. The Company also had positive cash flows from operations of $2,805,883 and $2,465,289 for the two years ended December 31, 2007. In addition, the Company projects positive cash flows for the next twelve months. With this positive trend of operating income, cash flows and projected cash flow over the next twelve months, the Company’s management considers the facts and circumstances, which raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, to be alleviated.
 
The Company also plans to continue to increase revenue by acquiring customers in target markets at competitive prices and selling value-added products and services to the existing customer base to maximize average revenue per user (ARPU). The Company will continue to reduce overall operating expenses by leveraging economies of scale, deployment of new technologies, and reducing supplier costs by securing more favorable rates and terms through wholesale partnerships and other methods.

Forward-looking statements
 
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Stockholders are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation, the Company’s ability to expand the Company’s customer base, make strategic acquisitions, general market conditions and competition and pricing.

Although the Company believes the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in the report will prove to be accurate.

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.    Controls and Procedures

We identified a material weakness in our 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. 
 
As of May 14, 2009, we began evaluating the tax provision and remediated the related internal control weakness. We have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, 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 income tax controls and procedures, there were no significant changes to our internal controls during the last fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008.  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

Our 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.

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.

 
42

 

 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.
 
Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control as described and defined below. We reviewed the results of management’s assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. In addition, on a quarterly basis we will evaluate any changes to our internal control over financial reporting to determine if a material changed occurred.

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. 

 
43

 

 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 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.
