Lynchburg, Virginia ? April 17, 2010 ? ? Sitestar Corporation (OTCBB: SYTE), a holding company for technology related businesses, announced financial results for its year ended December 31, 2009 in which the Company posted another profitable year. Financial highlights for the year include:
o Total Revenue was $7,692,908, a decrease of $1,092,651 or 12.4% from $8,785,559 for the same period in 2008.
o EBITDA was $2,903,713, a decrease of $1,242,656 or 30.0% from $4,146,369 for the same period in 2008.
o Net Income was $79,997, a decrease of $1,116,762 or 93.3% from $1,196,759 for the same period in 2008.
o Outstanding shares were repurchased during 2009 under the Repurchase Program. This reduced the outstanding shares by 6,888,953 from 83,088,658 to 76,199,705 from the same period in 2009.
?In spite of the worldwide economic challenge and the lack of a major acquisition in 2009, we were able to still maintain our profitability for 2009,? said Frank R. Erhartic, Jr., CEO for Sitestar. ?We are also continuing to repurchase our company?s stock and have repurchased over 8 percent of the outstanding shares in 2009.
?Due to the change in the way Sitestar is now recording revenues, we will be restating the 2008 10-K financials and the quarterlies of 2009,? commented Erhartic. ?In the past, we recorded revenues that caused the accumulation of late fees and other such fees on non-collectable accounts and overstated revenue bad debt expense and accounts receivable. We have adjusted our reporting to more closely recognize what we expect to collect.?
Commenting on the Company?s outlook for the current fiscal year, Mr. Erhartic added the following guidance, ?We feel that many companies have held off selling their companies to us due to the economic uncertainty of their other ventures. Although we feel acquisition is one of our best ways to acquire customers and increase revenue, Sitestar will use its resources to expand into new markets and products.?
