Sitestar Chooses New Firm to Audit Financial Statements


LYNCHBURG, VA--(Marketwire - April 23, 2010) -  Sitestar Corporation (OTCBB: SYTE), a holding company for technology related businesses, announced that is has chosen a new CPA firm to provide auditing services for the year ended December 31, 2009. This new firm, Santora CPA Group, has been engaged to perform the audit and the company intends to have it completed in time to file its 10-K by May 14, 2010.

"After the previous certifying accountants, Bagell, Josephs, Levine & Company, ceased operations, we decided to go with the firm with whom the partners combined because we were to get a larger firm with new staff to look at our books," said Frank R. Erhartic, Jr., CEO of Sitestar. "Unfortunately circumstances prevented the swift execution of the audit and deadlines slipped. As we became confident we weren't going to meet our April 15th deadline, we decided to discontinue our relationship with this firm and find another one."

"After careful consideration, we choose Santora CPA Group to be our independent accounting firm," said Erhartic. "We believe that they will provide us with more timely and accurate audits of our financial statements. This is most important to us."

"We are excited to welcome Sitestar as one of our valued clients and will use our company's resources to facilitate their filing requirements," said Ciro Adams, a Director with Santora CPA Group. "Sitestar is a valued addition to our clientele and we welcome them to our firm and look forward to a long lasting relationship."
