"We are absolutely thrilled to report that Sitestar has completed
its best year in company history," said Frank R. Erhartic, Jr., CEO for
Sitestar. "This is even more significant given the current economic
climate which has adversely impacted the performance of many companies
across multiple industries. To be sure, the financial health of the
Company has never been stronger. In 2008, robust cash flow from sales
enabled us to complete more acquisitions than in previous years and
fueled our strategy to diversify our holdings including expansion into
the wholesale dial-up and fiber to the home (FTTH) service markets. Our
financial performance also facilitated the retirement of all of our
outstanding bank notes and commencement of a stock repurchase program
designed to acquire up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock to stimulate
Sitestar's share price. Lastly, due to our growth, we were able to not
only retain our employees but, more importantly, create new jobs to
service our expanded customer base and operations."

Commenting on the Company's outlook for the current fiscal year, Mr.
Erhartic added the following guidance, "Clearly, the present economic
state is having an impact on businesses, consumers and the stock market.
We believe that Sitestar is in a position of strength to continue to
acquire business assets that increase and complement our value.
Similarly, we feel that our share price is undervalued and has weathered
the volatility of the overall market. Going forward, we will continue to
execute our conservative growth plan to capitalize on opportunities and
deliver shareholder value."
