 EXPLANATORY NOTE

      This Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 20, 2008 is being filed to reflect restatements of Sitestar Corporation‘s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2008, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income and, Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 (the “Financial Statements”). 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. Sitestar Corporation is also revising the discussion under Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Item 9A, Controls and Procedures in order to reflect the effects of the restatement. 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 2008 Form 10-Q was filed.

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 March 31, 2008, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 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 6 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENTS

 In February 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” FAS No. 155 resolves issues addressed in FAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” and permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of FAS No. 133, establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives and amends FAS

No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. FAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 6 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PROUNCEMENTS, Continued

In March 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” FAS No. 156 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract under a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets that meets the requirements for sale accounting, a transfer of the servicer’s financial assets to a qualified special-purpose entity in a guaranteed mortgage securitization in which the transferor retains all of the resulting securities and classifies them as either available-for-sale or trading securities in accordance with FAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and an acquisition or assumption of an obligation to service a financial asset that does not relate to financial assets of the servicer or its consolidated affiliates.

Additionally, FAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, permits an entity to choose either the use of an amortization or fair value method for subsequent measurements, permits at initial adoption a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and liabilities subsequently measured at fair value and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. FAS No. 156 is effective for transactions entered into after the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or on the results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” which provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for the financial statements issued for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and the interim periods within those fiscal years.  The provisions of SFAS No. 157 should be applied prospectively.  Management is assessing the potential impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”, which amends SFAS No. 87 “Employer’s Accounting for Pensions” (SFAS No. 87), SFAS No. 88 “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits” (SFAS No. 88), SFAS No. 106 “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” (SFAS No. 106), and SFAS No. 132R “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (revised 2003)” (SFAS No. 132R).

This Statement requires companies to recognize an asset or liability for the over-funded or under-funded status of their benefit plans in their financial statements.  SFAS No. 158 also requires the measurement date for plan assets and liabilities to coincide with the sponsor’s year end.  The standard provides two transition alternatives related to the change in measurement date provisions.  The recognition of an asset and liability related to the funded status provision is effective for fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006 and the change in measurement date provisions is effective for the fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of FAS No. 158, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or on the results of operations.

In February 2007, the 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 currently is evaluating whether to elect the option provided for in this standard.
 
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. 141, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position or on the results of operations.

NOTE 8 — 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 three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 included the following:

   
2008
   
2007
 
Current provision:

State
    -       18,622  
Valuation allowance     -       (124,145 )
Total income tax provision
  $ 11,277     $ -  

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 March 31, 2008 December 31, 2007 are as follows:

At March 31, 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 of $285,561 was 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 9 – 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 $713,118 and $291,105 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

NOTE 10 – 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 recognizes revenue related to software licenses and software maintenance in compliance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition.” Product revenue is recognized when the Company delivers the product to the customer and the Company believes that collecting the revenue is probable.  The Company usually has agreements with its customers to deliver the requested product for a fixed price.  Any insignificant post-contract support (PCS) obligations are accrued for at the time of the sale. PCS that is bundled with an initial licensing fee and is for one year or less is recognized at the time of the initial licensing, if collecting the resulting receivable is probable. The estimated cost to the Company to provide such services is minimal and historically, the enhancements offered during the PCS period have been minimal. The Company sells PCS under a separate agreement.  The agreements are for one to two years with a fixed number of hours of service for each month of the contract.  The contract stipulates a fixed monthly payment, non-refundable, due each month and any service hours incurred above the contractual amount are billed as incurred.  Revenue is recognized under these agreements ratably over the term of the agreement.  Revenue for services rendered in excess of the fixed monthly hours contained in the contracts are recognized as revenue as incurred.

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.

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.

The following tables show a reconciliation of EBITDA to the GAAP presentation of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 COMPARED TO MARCH 31, 2007 (Unaudited)

REVENUE.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by $1,104,564 or 76.7% from $1,439,981 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $2,544,545 for the same period in 2008.  Internet sales increased primarily due to the addition of Internet customers from the asset acquisition of USA Telephone These acquisitions, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, yielded approximately $1,307,000 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 three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by $434,192 or 111.0% from $391,026 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $825,218 for the same period in 2008.  This increase is due to telecommunications expenses associated with the acquisitions of customers which had not realized anticipated economies and accounted for approximately $433,624 in additional direct expenses.

OPERATING EXPENSES.
 
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $656,697 or 92.7% from $708,395 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1,365,092 for the same period in 2008.  Amortization expense increased $422,013 or 145.0% from $291,105 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $713,118 for the same period in 2008.  This increase is due to the acquisition of customer bases.  Corporate expenses of $43,416 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 consisted primarily of professional fees. Corporate expenses of $3,479 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 consisted primarily of professional fees.
 
INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, 2009 corporate income tax expense $84,754 were accrued.

GAIN ON SALE OF ASSETS.

A gain was recognized on the sale of the assets of Sitestar Applied Technologies, Inc. to Servatus Development, LLC of $19,551 and $4,189 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.  This represents, per the Definitive Purchase Agreement between the parties, 20% of the gross revenue of Servatus Development, LLC for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

INTEREST EXPENSE.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased by $36,217 or 102.1% from $35,469 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $71,686 for the same period in 2008.  This decrease is a result of retiring debt that carried a high rate of imputed interest.

MARCH 31, 2008 (Unaudited) COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2007 (Audited)

FINANCIAL CONDITION.

Net accounts receivable increased $322,181 or 107.4% from $299,863 on December 31, 2007 to $622,044 on March 31, 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 $292 or .4% from $70,739 on December 31, 2007 to $70,447 on March 31, 2008.  Accounts payable increased by $15,564 or 19.8% from $78,713 on December 31, 2007 to $94,277 on March 31, 2008. Accrued expenses increased by $25,922 or 18.8% from $138,021 on December 31, 2007 to $163,943 on March 31, 2008. This increase is a reflection of accruing professional fees.  Deferred revenue increased by $14,341 or 1.1% from $1,361,606 on December 31, 2007 to $1,375,947 on March 31, 2008 representing increased volume of customer accounts that have been prepaid. The current portion of notes payable decreased $216,870 or 17.1% from $1,268,866 on December 31, 2007 to $1,051,996 on March 31, 2008.  This is substantially due to the curtailment of a line of credit of $200,000 in addition to servicing term notes.  Long-term notes payable decreased $390,516 or 23.0% from $1,694,836 on December 31, 2007 to $1,304,320 on March 31, 2008. This decrease is the result of offsetting principal balance of the purchase note of USA telephone against collections of accounts receivable by USAT. Long-term notes payable to stockholders decreased $87,010 or 12.7% from $686,687 on December 31, 2007 to $599,677 on March 31, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $235,931 and $232,249 at March 31, 2008 and at December 31, 2007.  EBITDA was $1,098,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $649,882 for the same period in 2007.

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 March 31, 2008.

 
33

 

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.  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.

 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.
