"2007 was a landmark year for Sitestar in terms of revenue growth and
subscriber growth," said Frank R. Erhartic, Jr., CEO for Sitestar. "Of our
2007 acquisitions, two of them were large and one truly added the boost at
the end of the year that increased our revenues and subscriber count. The
financial results from the acquisition of the USA Telephone/Nationwide
customer bases are not fully reflected in our year end results because of
the timing and acquisition costs. Due to this acquisition and to other
recently completed acquisitions, our cash flow will be significant enough
to be able to close even more deals in 2008."
"We continue to be able to grow our business and turn a profit in an
industry where few others are profitable," said Frank R. Erhartic, Jr. "We
do this by closely watching our bottom line, seeking out acquisitions that
add value and increasing our economies of scale. Sitestar is also able to
up-sell additional services to our new and existing clients thereby
increasing their ARPU (Average Revenue Per User). 2008 should be a great
year for Sitestar as we continue to diversify and grow. With this
momentum, we believe the market will put the Sitestar share price on a
similar trajectory."
