LYNCHBURG, VA, Aug 17, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- SYTE | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Sitestar Corporation (PINKSHEETS: SYTE), a provider of residential, business and wholesale Internet access, web hosting and value-added products and services, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Overall revenue remained in-line with the Company's recent quarterly trends, while net income increased sharply due to recognition of an income tax benefit based upon Sitestar's profitable financial operations and ability to take advantage of prior tax losses. Highlights for the quarter include:

--  Total Revenue for the six (6) months ended June 30, 2009 was
    $4,832,611, a decrease of $326,633 or 6.3 percent from $5,159,244 for the
    same period in 2008.

--  Net Income for the six (6) months ended June 30, 2009 was $823,220, an
    increase of $280,873 or 51.8 percent from $542,347 for the same period in
    2008.

--  EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and
    Amortization) for the six (6) months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,569,562, a
    decrease of $728,121 or 31.7 percent from $2,297,683 for the same period in
    2008.


"Sitestar continues to be profitable even given the current economic environment facing many businesses and individuals," said Frank R. Erhartic, Jr., CEO for Sitestar. "Although our narrowband business is declining, we are increasing our business in areas like broadband and wholesale services where we can keep customers longer. This is giving us new opportunities to consolidate costs and increase efficiencies which we haven't yet fully realized but have been working on for many months.

"Early this year we were delisted from the Over-The-Counter (OTC) Stock Exchange due to a typographical error that caused a financial filing to be late," added Erhartic. "We have been diligently working on restoring our OTC status. We have made significant progress and we believe that we will soon be relisted. With this behind us, we will be able to be aggressive on new acquisitions to increase our revenues."
