LYNCHBURG, VA--(Marketwire - May 18, 2009) - Sitestar Corporation (OTCBB: [ SYTE ]), a provider of residential, business and wholesale Internet access, web hosting and value-added products and services, announced today that its Board of Directors, on the recommendation of its independent registered public accounting firm, determined that the Company should amend and restate its financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008. Accordingly, the Company's previously issued financial statements for these periods, and all related earnings press releases and communications relating to these periods, should no longer be relied upon.

Management recently identified errors in the Company's calculation of the income tax loss carry forward, an accounting technique that applies the prior year's net operating losses to future years' profits in order to reduce tax liability.

Sitestar has evaluated and remediated its internal controls and procedures.

The Company is currently working to prepare and file its restated financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as soon as practicable.

While the information herein describes all of the items for which the Company and its independent accountants have determined a restatement is appropriate at this time, there can be no assurance that further review of the Company's financial statements will not identify additional items.
