Corporate History
The Company was incorporated under the name White Dove Systems, Inc. in December 1992 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

(Neocom) by exchanging 6,782,353 shares of the Company’s common stock for 100% of the outstanding shares of Neocom. Effective upon the closing of the acquisition, the Company issued 4,782,353 shares of its common stock and reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock to issue on the second anniversary of the acquisition based on certain contingencies related to potential unrecorded liabilities. As of January 2002, the remaining 2,000,000 shares were issued to the former shareholders of Neocom.

Effective November 22, 2000, the Company consummated the acquisition of FRE Enterprises, Inc., a Virginia corporation (doing business as “Lynchburg.net” and “Computers by Design”) by exchanging 16,583,980 shares of its common stock for 100% of the outstanding shares of Lynchburg.net. Effective upon the closing of the acquisition, the Company issued 12,437,985 shares of its common stock and reserved 4,145,995 shares of its common stock that the Company had agreed to issue on the third anniversary of the acquisition based on certain contingencies related to potential unrecorded and unknown liabilities. On the third anniversary, November 22, 2003, there were no contingencies that had not been satisfied and the shares were issued on that date. The Company used the market price of its common stock at the acquisition date to determine the acquisition price of $2,487,597.
Lynchburg.net is an ISP and web services company. Computers by Design is a computer sales and service company. In addition, Computers by Design has a division that remanufactures ink and toner cartridges under the name of CBD Toner Recharge.

On July 1, 2001, the Company acquired 100% of the equity and voting interest of Advanced Internet Services, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (ADVI). ADVI is an Internet and computer Service Provider located in Mt. Airy, North Carolina.

Due to the non-interest bearing nature of the note, the Company imputed a discount rate of 36% to calculate the present value of the note. This discount rate was an estimate of the Company’s current cost of capital. This acquisition included goodwill of $702,642 that was the premium the Company paid to have the opportunity to generate revenues and earnings in this market.
Effective October 16, 2002, Sitestar reorganized and the Board named Frank R. Erhartic, Jr. as the new Chairman and CFO to replace Clinton Sallee and Eric Manlunas, who both resigned. Mr. Erhartic later entered into a contract with the former management of Sitestar to buy out their shares of the Company to reduce the number of shares outstanding by approximately 32.5%. Mr. Sallee was retained as a paid consultant for one year.
Effective December 31, 2002, the Company acquired the Internet assets and Internet customer list of Digital Data Connections, Inc., a local competitor in Martinsville, Virginia. This deal consisted of a cash payment of $50,000 and a promise to pay a certain percentage of revenues generated by their customers for ten months.

Airy Networks, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, an ISP located in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The total purchase price was $226,314, representing the fair value of the assets acquired, less $50,000 for deferred revenues and less a 10% discount, for a purchase price of $176,314 which consisted of a non-interest bearing note payable over thirty months.

Effective August 31, 2004 the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement to sell the assets of Sitestar Applied Technologies (SAT), the software development division of the Company. Thomas Albanese, the former manager of the SAT division, purchased the assets. The new company is subsequently doing business as Servatus Development, LLC (Servatus). The agreement consisted of Albanese surrendering 1,460,796 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company receiving a 20% share in the gross revenues of Servatus over a period of four years and maintaining the rights to the crisis management software system that was shortly thereafter completed. The Company provided office space, occupancy costs and Internet services for one year. The Company has recognized a gain from this transaction of $8,734 through the fourth quarter of 2008, representing the excess of the value of the common stock received and the shared revenue over the recorded basis of the assets sold.
Effective November 22, 2004, the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement acquiring the Internet related assets of Exchange Computers, Inc. and Exis.net, Inc. Both are Virginia corporations. The deal consisted of the acquisition of the dial-up customers, the related Internet assets and non-compete agreements from the principal officers of the companies. The total purchase price was $150,000, representing the fair value of the assets acquired, which consisted of $30,000 in cash at closing and a non-interest bearing promissory note of $120,000 that was paid over twelve months.
Effective September 16, 2005, the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement pursuant to which it acquired the Internet related assets of IDACOMM, an Idaho corporation. The transaction consisted of the acquisition of the dial-up and certain DSL customers, the related Internet assets and non-compete agreements from the company. The total purchase price was $1,698,430, representing the fair value of the assets acquired, less $112,735 for deferred revenues and less a 10% discount, for a net purchase price of $1,545,304 which consisted of a down payment of $250,000 with the balance paid by a non-interest bearing note payable over 7 months. The transaction was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of tangible assets acquired was attributed to the customer list and non-compete agreement, which were amortized over the estimated three-year life and contractual three-year life, respectively. The value of the customer list was determined by multiplying the current market value per customer times the number of customers purchased at the time of the acquisition.
Effective January 1, 2006, with a closing date of January 6, 2006, the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement acquiring the Common Stock of NetRover Inc., a Canadian ISP and web services corporation.

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

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

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that such results or trends will necessarily continue in the future.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2008
RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
The Company is restating earnings for the years ended December 31, 2008 to reflect the proper revenue recognition of processing charges and late fees for customers cut off from internet service because the collectability of those charges is not reasonably assured. The restatements had no effect on 2009 revenues, operating income, pre-tax income, net income or cash-flows. The correction of the errors reduced 2008 net income by $115,078. The corrections increased beginning of 2008 accumulated deficit by $185,971.
REVENUE. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $1,092,651 or 12.4% from $8,785,559 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $7,692,908 for the same period in 2009. The decrease in Internet sales is attributed to the lack of acquisitions of Internet access and web hosting customers of ISPs. Although the Company continues to sign up new customers, competition from ubiquitous nationwide telecommunications and cable providers threatens significant and sustainable organic growth. To insure continued strength in revenues, the Company has acquired and plans to continue to acquire the assets of additional ISPs, folding them into its operations to provide future revenues. The Company also plans to market more aggressively on a national level utilizing scalable tactics and targeting a much larger Internet customer base.
COST OF REVENUE. Costs of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $115,997 or 3.8% from $3,061,563 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $2,945,566 for the same period in 2009. The decrease is due primarily to lower volume of revenue. Cost of revenue as a percentage of sales increased 3.4% from 34.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008 to 38.2% for the same period in 2009 resulting primarily from more costly forms of broadband service. The Company is continuing to attempt to negotiate more favorable contracts with telecommunication vendors and making the network capacity more efficient. The Company expects to continue creating these efficiencies through wholesale businesses recently acquired.
17
OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $252,207 or 5.6% from $4,544,239 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $4,292,032 for the same period in 2009. This is due primarily to a decrease in amortization and bad debt expenses. Amortization expense, including impairment decreased $460,600 or 15.9% from $2,899,620 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $2,439,020 for the same period in 2009. Wages decreased $70,194 or 10.2% from $691,393 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $621,199 for the same period in 2009. Partially offsetting this, bad debt expense increased $309,639 or 130.8% from $236,680 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $546,319 for the same period in 2009.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $85,545 or 51.8% from $165,154 for the year ended December 31, 2008 to $79,609 for the same period in 2009. This decrease was a result of the satisfaction of debt from financing recent acquisitions of customer bases.
INCOME TAXES. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 corporate income tax expense (benefit) of $270,590 and $(158,734) were accrued.
BALANCE SHEET. Net accounts receivable increased $94,717 or 26.2% from $361,056 on December 31, 2008 to $455,773 on the same date in 2009. Customer list decreased $2,206,039 or 52.2% from $4,224,414 on December 31, 2008 to $2,018,375 on December 31, 2009. This decrease is substantially due to scheduled amortization. Deferred tax assets increased $339,830 from $421,031 on December 31, 2008 to $760,861 on December 31, 2009. This is due to the recognition of tax benefits of timing differences of certain tax deductions. Other assets decreased $87,323 or 15.0% from $583,637 on December 31, 2008 to $496,314 on December 31, 2009. This decrease is substantially due to recognizing a receivable from an insurance claim offset by scheduled amortization of non-compete agreements associated with acquisitions. Accounts payable increased by $50,706 or 62.7% from $80,892 on December 31, 2008 to $131,598 for the same period in 2009. This resulted from a disputed telecommunications invoice which was resolved in the first quarter of 2010. Accrued income taxes increased $152,518 from $262,297 on December 31, 2008 to $414,815 on December 31, 2009. Accrued expenses decreased by $65,830 or 69.4% from $94,882 on December 31, 2008 to $29,052 on December 31, 2009. Deferred revenue decreased by $296,362 or 25.6% from $1,157,597 on December 31, 2008 to $861,235 on December 31, 2009 representing corresponding reduced revenue from which customers have prepaid services on December 31, 2009. Notes payable decreased $554,000. This is primarily result of the payoff of all bank debt leaving only seller notes from acquisitions.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,090,807 and $527,553 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. EBITDA was $2,903,713 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $4,146,369 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

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

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

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

SITESTAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Subsequent to the issuance of the 2008 financial statements, Sitestar Corporation determined that the income tax provision should have been included in the financial statements and adopted the recommendation of the Board of Directors and determined that previously reported results should be restated. The restatement resulted from a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, namely, that the Company did not have adequately designed procedures to calculate or review the tax provision.
Organization and Line of Business
Sitestar Corporation (formerly White Dove Systems, Inc., Interfoods Consolidated, Inc., was known as Holland American International Specialties (HAIS)), (the Company), began operations on June 1, 1997, under a partnership agreement, and was incorporated in Nevada on November 4, 1997. On July 26, 1999, the Company restated its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to “Sitestar Corporation.” The Company was in the International specialty foods distribution business. In 1999, through the acquisition of two Internet Service Providers, the Company changed from a food distribution company to an Internet holding company. The Company services customers throughout the U.S. and Canada with multiple sites of operation. Sitestar is headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including: Sitestar.net, Inc. (formerly know as Neocom Microspecialists, Inc.), FRE Enterprises, Inc., Advanced Internet Services, Inc. and NetRover Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals the preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company's assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The amounts shown for notes payable also approximate fair value because current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

SITESTAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and, at times, may exceed the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customers’ financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.
Accounts Receivable
The Company grants credit in the form of unsecured accounts receivable to its customers. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is charged off to bad debt expense, is based on management’s assessment of current economic conditions and historical collection experience with each customer. Specific customer receivables are considered past due when they are outstanding beyond their contractual terms and are charged off to the allowance for doubtful accounts when determined uncollectible.
For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, bad debt expense was $546,319 and $236,680. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, accounts receivable consists of the following:
2009 | 2008 | |||||||
Gross accounts receivable | $ | 470,089 | $ | 387,820 | ||||
Less allowance for doubtful accounts | (14,316 | ) | (26,764 | ) | ||||
$ | 455,773 | $ | 361,056 |
Sales of Internet services, which are not automatically processed via credit card or bank account drafts, have been the company’s highest exposure to collection risk. To help offset this exposure, the company has added a late payment fee to encourage timely payments by customers. Another effort to improve customer collections was the implementation of a uniform manual invoice processing fee, which has also helped to accelerate collections process. Accounts over ninety days past due are no longer included in accounts receivable and are turned over to a collection agency.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the declining balance method based on estimated useful lives from three to seven years for equipment and thirty nine years for buildings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP), “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
30
SITESTAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008
The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the asset less cost to sell.
The Company maintained a financial interest in the operations of Servatus Development, LLC, the purchasing entity, and in addition, still maintains programming services for its customers. Per the Definitive Agreement to sell the assets, the Company is entitled to 20% of the gross revenue of Servatus for the first four years of operations. Also per the Definitive Agreement, the Company maintains the rights to the crisis management software developed by Sitestar Applied Technologies. The Company received $0 and $8,734 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Intangible Assets
The Company continually monitors its intangible assets to determine whether any impairment has occurred. In making such determination with respect to these assets, the Company evaluates the performance, on an undiscounted cash flow basis, of the intangible assets or group of assets.
Should impairment be identified, a loss would be reported to the extent that the carrying value of the related intangible asset exceeds its fair value using the discounted cash flow method.
The Company's customer lists are being amortized over three years. Amortization expense for the customer lists was $2,273,437 and $2,706,287 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company's customer lists are being amortized over three years. Amortization of customer lists for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 is expected to be $1,694,310, $324,065 and $0, respectively. Amortization expense for the non-competition agreement was $165,583 and $179,692 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. In accordance with GAAP, amortization of goodwill ceased effective January 1, 2002. Amortization of non-competition for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 is expected to be $133,250, $15,361 and $0, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2009 there was no impairment of goodwill.
Inventory
Inventory consists principally of products purchased for resale and are maintained at the lower of cost (first in - first out basis) or market. Due to the slow moving nature of inventory management has reclassified it on the balance sheets from current assets to other assets held for resale. The retail operations of Sitestar Corporation, Computers by Design has changed the focus of generating revenue from building new equipment to providing professional services, repairing and maintaining customer systems. This shift in direction, precipitated by eroding profit margins resulting from intense competition, has slowed inventory turns of hardware used in building equipment for resale. While inventory maintains a marketable value, it is integrated into sales at a reduced rate as repairs to equipment as opposed to becoming a component in a constructed system. Consumers will reasonably continue to use the technology level of equipment represented by Sitestar inventory, and therefore, will continue for the near future to be required components in the repair and maintenance of their systems. It is for these reasons that inventory was reclassified from current assets to other assets held for resale to more properly reflect its use. Inventory was valued on December 31, 2009 and 2008 at $70,819 and $70,443.

Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents collections from customers in advance for services not yet performed and are recognized as revenue in the period service is provided.
Revenue Recognition
The Company sells Internet services under annual and monthly contracts. Under the annual contracts, the subscriber pays a one-time annual fee, which is recognized as revenue ratably over the life of the contract. Under the monthly contracts, the subscriber is billed monthly and revenue is recognized for the period the service relates. Sales of computer hardware are recognized as revenue upon delivery and acceptance of the product by the customer. Sales are adjusted for any returns or allowances.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
The Company expenses costs of advertising and marketing as they are incurred. These expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $36,000 and $38,000, respectively.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Income Per Share
The basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per common share is computed similar to basic income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company has no potentially dilutive securities. The following table represents the calculations of basic and diluted income per share:
2009 | 2008 | |||||||
Net income available to common shareholders | $ | 79,997 | $ | 1,196,759 | ||||
Weighted average number of common shares | 76,199,705 | 83,088,658 | ||||||
Basic and diluted income per share | $ | .00 | $ | .01 |
Comprehensive Income
As of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no items that represent other comprehensive income and therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements.

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

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

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