ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

We are a mid-Atlantic Internet Service Provider and Computer Services company offering a broad range of services to business and residential customers. We serve primarily the Virginia and North Carolina markets. In November of 2003 the Company announced the launch of its national dial-up Internet service which made service available to thousands of cities throughout the United States. This expanded service features SurfBoost™ Broadband Dial-Up technology which includes web acceleration, e-mail acceleration and pop-up ad blocking. Spam and virus filtering are also included and it is marketed under the brand name SurfWithUs.net to differentiate the national service from its regional services. We utilize our own infrastructure and have affiliations that allow us to expand our network and services to most of the United States.

The products and services we provide include:

Internet access services;

Web acceleration services;

Web design services;

Web hosting services;

End to end e-commerce solutions;

Online marketing consulting;

Computer and related products sales and services;

Toner and ink cartridge remanufacturing services; and

Computer programming and consulting services.

Our Internet Service Provider (ISP) division has three sites of operation (http://www.sitestar.net, http://www.lynchburg.net, http://www.advi.net). These are located in Lynchburg, Virginia; Martinsville, Virginia; and Mt. Airy, North Carolina. We provide both narrow-band (dial-up) services and broadband services (ISDN, DSL, cable and wireless) utilizing our own infrastructure and affiliations to provide services to thousands of locations throughout the United States. Our web design, web hosting and related services provide a way to help businesses market their products and services over the Internet.

Our Computer Sales and Service division (http://www.computersbydesign.com) also provides sales and services out of our three office locations. We sell and manufacture computer systems, computer hardware, computer software, networking services, repair services and toner and ink cartridge remanufacturing services. We are a factory authorized service center for many national-brand computer equipment companies. Our toner and ink cartridge remanufacturing service (http://www.recharge.net) takes empty toner cartridges and remanufactures them to provide savings to our customers over buying brand new cartridges. This service is available locally and nationwide.

Our computer programming and consulting services help companies automate their businesses. Our primary focus is providing software and programming services for the manufacturing industry. Our flagship product is a software package called Sales Force Automation (SFA). The Company is currently developing a new product that automates certain functions of crisis centers throughout the nation.

Corporate History

We were incorporated under the name of White Dove Systems, Inc. in December 1992 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

Effective December 15, 1999, we consummated the acquisition of Neocom Microspecialists, Inc. (“Neocom”) in exchange for 6,782,353 shares of our common stock for 100% of the outstanding shares of Neocom. Effective upon the closing of the acquisition, we issued 4,782,353 shares of our common stock and reserved 2,000,000 shares of common stock to issue on the second anniversary of the acquisition based on certain contingencies related to potential unrecorded liabilities. As of January 2002, the remaining 2,000,000 shares were issued to the former shareholders of Neocom.

Neocom is an Internet service provider and Web development company based in Martinsville, Virginia. Neocom provides Internet access and other Internet services to its customers in the Southern Virginia area. Neocom has since changed its name to Sitestar.net, Inc..

Effective November 22, 2000, we consummated the acquisition of FRE Enterprises, Inc., a Virginia corporation (doing business as “Lynchburg.net” and “Computers by Design”) in exchange for 16,583,980 shares of our common stock for 100% of the outstanding shares of Lynchburg.net. Effective upon the closing of the acquisition, we issued 12,437,985 shares of our common stock and have reserved 4,145,995 shares of our common stock that we have agreed to issue on the third anniversary of the acquisition based on certain contingencies related to potential unrecorded and unknown liabilities. On the third anniversary, November 22, 2003, there were no contingencies; the shares became issuable on that date. We used the market price of our common stock at the acquisition date to determine the acquisition price of $2,487,597.

Lynchburg.net is an Internet service provider and web development company. Computers by Design is a computer sales and service company. Computers by Design also has a division that remanufactures ink and toner cartridges under the name of CBD Toner Recharge. This company is based in Lynchburg, Virginia and provides products and services to its customers in the central and southwestern part of Virginia.

On July 1, 2001, we acquired 100% of the equity and voting interest of Advanced Internet Services, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“ADVI”). ADVI is an Internet service provider located in Mt. Airy, North Carolina. The purchase price was $965,980, which consisted of $150,000 in cash, and transaction costs of $30,000, 6,021,818 of our common shares valued at $301,091 and a non-interest bearing promissory note for $1,199,990 (the present value was $484,889) payable in 24 quarterly installments of $51,078. Due to the non-interest bearing nature of the note, we imputed a discount rate of 36% to calculate the present value of the note. This discount rate is an estimate of our current cost of capital. This acquisition included goodwill of $702,642 that was the premium we paid to have the opportunity to generate revenues and earnings in this market

Effective October 16, 2002, Sitestar reorganized and the Board named Frank R. Erhartic, Jr. as the new Chairman and CFO to replace Clinton Sallee and Eric Manlunas who resigned. Mr. Erhartic later struck a deal with the former management for Sitestar to buy out their shares of the company to reduce the number of shares outstanding by approximately 32.5%. Mr. Sallee was retained as a paid consultant for one year.

Effective December 31, 2002, we acquired the Internet assets and Internet customer list of Digital Data Connections, Inc., a local competitor in Martinsville, Virginia. This consisted of a cash payment of $50,000 and a promise to pay a certain percentage of revenues generated by their customer list for ten months. We also accepted a non-compete agreement restricting competition in our existing markets for a period of three years. We believe this acquisition will enhance our customer base, revenues and profitability.

Our Business Strategy

Our goal is to expand our business by increasing our customer base, services and coverage area. We use marketing, acquisitions and partnerships to accomplish this. Our mission is to increase stockholder value by increasing revenues, consolidating costs and increasing profits, while maintaining superior products and customer service.

Key elements of our strategy include:

Increasing our Dial-up Customer Base. We intend to keep our large regional customer base plus expand our services to a broader market. We keep our existing customers by offering them a high-quality service at a reasonable price and keeping them safe with free anti-virus and spam filtering. We are doing the same by offering this same quality of service to a much broader market by expanding our local coverage areas and leasing some infrastructure from our partners. Now that we can reach almost 100% of the people in the United States with our dial-up services, we are now aggressively marketing our services outside of our regional area and taking advantage of the huge market potential. We are marketing this throughout the internet, using traditional advertising methods and increasing the number of affiliates selling our service.

Increasing our Broadband Customer Base. In our regional footprint, we offer broadband services including ISDN, Landline DSL, Wireless DSL, Satellite DSL and cable access. We are currently increasing our wireless DSL coverage area by adding more towers and relay points of presence and will continue to do so. We can expand our reach with Landline DSL, Satellite DSL and ISDN through our partnership arrangements. We intend to market this through our DSLNOW.COM website and through traditional channels. We anticipate new partnerships in the future that will enable us to offer cable access outside of our regional footprint.

Increase our Toner and Ink Cartridge Remanufacturing Business. Sitestar markets this service under the name CBD Toner Recharge and through its website, RECHARGE.NET. We currently offer this service both locally and nationally through the mail. We intend to further increase this business by letting more people know of this cost-saving service by creating affiliate relationships and increasing our use of traditional advertising.

Increase our Product Offerings. We will continue to offer new products, as they become available through our retail stores and to our existing Internet customer base. We see Voice Over IP (VOIP) services that allow accepting and originating phone calls through an Internet connection starting to become a viable business service. This is one of the services that we are currently exploring.

Strategic Relationships and Acquisitions. We have many strategic relationships that allow us to expand our products and services to a wider range of customers. We intend to enter into more relationships like these. We have acquired several companies, assets and customer bases over the last several years and intend to continue to seek out other opportunities that help our business grow.

Increasing our Economies of Scale. As we grow, we are constantly finding ways to reduce our costs. We are taking advantage of services that competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) offer that the local phone companies do not that help us reduce costs and consolidate our network infrastructure. We have further integrated our offices by tying them together with Voice Over IP services with our phone system. This allows us to better utilize our human resources for more efficient customer service.

Marketing Channels

We use many forms of advertising to sell our products and services, including print, radio, TV, billboard, direct mail and electronic means. Our different websites bring us business on a consistent daily basis. Through our different sales stores and offices, we are able to sell our products to customers that come to us. We have also enlisted sales agents to sell our services, as well as, companies that sell our services under their own brand name. We intend to concentrate on increasing our emphasis on these types of affiliate relationships. Our most effective form of advertising comes from satisfied customers who refer new customers to us. We reward these people who refer people for Internet service with credit towards their Internet service.

Competition

The Internet services market is extremely competitive and highly fragmented. We face competition from numerous types of ISPs, including national ISPs, and anticipate that competition will only intensify in the future as the ISP industry consolidates and consumers have more choices. We believe that the primary competitive factors in the Internet services market include:

Pricing;

Quality and breadth of products and services;

Ease of use;

Personal customer support and service; and

Brand awareness.

We believe that we compete favorably based on these factors, particularly due to our:

Regional brand name;

Highly responsive customer support and service;

High performance; and

Competitive pricing.

Our current competitors include many large companies that have substantially greater market presence, brand-name recognition and financial resources than we do. Some of our local or regional competitors may also enjoy greater recognition within a particular community. We currently compete, or expect to compete, with the following types of companies:

local and regional Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Computer Companies;

national Internet service providers, such as AOL Time Warner, MSN (Microsoft Network) and EarthLink;

local, regional and national broadband providers, such as Adelphia and Cox Communications;

providers of Web hosting, co-location and other Internet-based business services;

computer hardware and other technology companies that provide Internet connectivity with their or other products, including IBM and Microsoft;

national long distance carriers such as AT&T, MCI WorldCom, Qwest and Sprint;

regional Bell operating companies and local telephone companies;

providers of free or discount Internet service, including United Online;

terrestrial wireless and satellite Internet service providers; and

non-profit or educational ISPs.

Many of the major cable companies and some other Internet access providers have begun to offer or are exploring the possibility of offering Internet connectivity through the use of cable modems. We believe that there is a trend toward horizontal integration through acquisitions or joint ventures between cable companies and telecommunications carriers. Other alternative service companies have also announced plans to enter the Internet connectivity market with various wireless terrestrial and satellite-based service technologies. In addition, several competitive local exchange carriers and other Internet access providers have launched national or regional digital subscriber line (DSL) programs providing high speed Internet access using the existing copper wire telephone infrastructure. Several of these competitive local exchange carriers have announced strategic alliances with local, regional and national service providers to provide broadband Internet access. We have some partnerships with some of these types of companies that help us provide similar services. If we are unable to provide technologically competitive service in some of our local markets, however, our revenues and profit margins may decline, and our ability to attract additional customers locally may suffer.

Recently, several national access providers have begun to offer dial-up Internet access at substantial discounts to prevailing rates, which may result in significant pricing pressure for dial-up Internet access services. We also believe that manufacturers of computer hardware and software products, media and telecommunications companies and others will continue to enter the Internet services market, which will also intensify competition, especially for dial-up access providers. If we are unable to compete locally with lower-cost providers and companies bundling Internet service with their products by providing superior service and support, our revenues and profit margins may decline, and our ability to attract additional local customers may suffer.

We also believe that new competitors will continue to enter the Internet access market, such as large computer hardware and software companies, media and telecommunications entities, and companies that provide direct service to residential customers, including cable television operators, wireless communication companies, local and long distance telephone companies and electric utility companies.

Many of our competitors are larger and have greater financial, technical, and operating resources than we do. Although many of these competitors have concentrated on the broadband market, we believe that this could cause change in our share of our local and regional customer base. We will continue to distinguish ourselves by our product and service knowledge, our responsiveness to our markets, our ability to market and sell customized combinations of products and services with our local markets, and our capacity to offer a diverse Internet product line. We also believe that our ability to be flexible and to respond quickly in providing solutions to our customers’ Internet needs will be an advantage over some of our competitors. With the advent of SurfWithUs.Net, our nationwide Internet service product, we no longer are limited to a regional footprint. Partnerships with national carriers that other large Internet Providers use, provides us the opportunity to offer service to over 77 million residential Internet users in the United States.

Government Regulations

There is currently only a small body of laws and regulations directly applicable to access to or commerce on the Internet. However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted at the international, federal, state and local levels with respect to the Internet, covering issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, characteristics and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights, information security and the convergence of traditional telecommunications services with Internet communications. Moreover, a number of laws and regulations have been proposed and are currently being considered by federal, state and foreign legislatures with respect to these issues. The nature of any new laws and regulations and the manner in which existing and new laws and regulations may be interpreted and enforced cannot be fully determined.

In addition, there is substantial uncertainty as to the applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity and personal privacy. The vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and, as a result, did not contemplate the unique issues and environment of the Internet. Future developments in the law might decrease the growth of the Internet, impose taxes or other costly technical requirements, create uncertainty in the market or in some other manner have an adverse effect on the Internet. These developments could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

We provide our services through data transmissions over public telephone lines and other facilities provided by telecommunications companies. These transmissions are subject to regulation by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), state public utility commissions and foreign governmental authorities. However, we are not subject to direct regulation by the FCC or any other governmental agency, other than regulations applicable to businesses generally. Nevertheless, as Internet services and telecommunications services converge or the services we offer expand, there may be increased regulation of our business, including regulation by agencies having jurisdiction over telecommunications services. Additionally, existing telecommunications regulations affect our business through regulation of the prices we pay for transmission services, and through regulation of competition in the telecommunications industry.

The FCC has ruled that calls to Internet service providers are jurisdictionally interstate and that Internet service providers should not pay access charges applicable to telecommunications carriers. Several telecommunications carriers are advocating that the FCC regulate the Internet in the same manner as other telecommunications services by imposing access fees on Internet service providers. The FCC is examining inter-carrier compensation for calls to Internet service providers, which could affect Internet service providers' costs and consequently substantially increase the costs of communicating via the Internet. This increase in costs could slow the growth of Internet use and thereby decrease the demand for our services.

We purchase some components of our broadband services from local carriers and from other DSL providers that purchase components from local carriers. In November 1999, the FCC issued a ruling that allowed competitive local phone companies to “line-share” their broadband DSL services over a phone customers local phone line. The U.S. Court of Appeals changed this decision in May 2002 and in February 2003, the FCC decided to eliminate “line-sharing” over a three-year phase out. Although the inability to buy these discounted lines could affect a very small part of our business, it could cause the growth of our broadband business to slow if some of our partners, like Covad Communications Group, Inc., have to pay full-price for their lines. On the other-hand, however, this may cause less competition in our local markets where we offer broadband services.

Employees

As of March 31, 2004, we employed nineteen full-time individuals. We have four in management, two in sales and marketing, six in administration, and seven technicians. We also employed four part-time individuals. We have three technicians and one in administration. Our employees are not unionized, and we consider our relations with our employees to be favorable.

Sitestar also has available though Edgar its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and, if applicable, amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after Sitestar electronically files such material with, or furnishes it to, the SEC.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Company leased an office facility in Sherman Oaks, California at an annual rent of approximately $62,500. In the fourth quarter of 2002, this lease was assumed by former officers of the corporation.

The Company owns a 12,000 square feet office building in Martinsville, Virginia which was acquired along with the acquisition of Neocom. This facility houses Sitestar’s customer service, web design and computer programming functions. Also located here is equipment needed to service many of our customers. Neocom's principal note holders had a senior lien on the property, which has been lifted. The bank note was payable in monthly principal and interest installments of approximately $6,400 or $76,800 per annum with the balance due September 2003. This note has been refinanced into a term loan and has subsequently been converted to a line of credit and which will be used to facilitate the cash flows of the Company.

We also lease a 7,200 square feet office facility in Lynchburg, Virginia which serves as our corporate office. Here we handle the corporate accounting functions, customer service, billing, house Internet equipment, market local Internet service under the Lynchburg.net and SurfWithUs.Net, sell computer hardware and services under the name Computers by Design and remanufacture toner and ink cartridges under the name CBD Toner Recharge. This facility has an annual rent of $46,200.

We also lease a 2,500 square feet office facility in Mt. Airy, North Carolina where we sell computer hardware and services under the name of Computers by Design and sell Internet services under the name of Sitestar Advanced Internet Services. We also house Internet equipment here to serve our customer in the Mt. Airy, North Carolina area. This facility has an annual rent of $6,000.

Our annual rents are subject to adjustments. We anticipate that we may require additional space for our ISP operations as we expand, and we believe that we will be able to obtain suitable space as needed on commercially reasonable terms.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On December 31, 2002, New Millennium Capital Partners II, LLC and AJW Partners, LLC (the “Convertible Debenture Holders”) filed a complaint against the Company, its former officers and its current officers at the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the county of Nassau. The complaint alleged the Company breached their contract and fiduciary duties. This proceeding is a dispute over the amount we owed on a convertible debenture. The dispute arose over a significant payment we issued by a conversion of stock that was neither applied to the principal or interest balance. Effective January 31, 2004, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Convertible Debenture Holders whereby all legal action pending regarding the convertible debentures held by the Convertible Debenture Holders was dismissed. The terms of the agreement include a cash payment of $100,000 plus 4,000,000 shares of stock valued at $.02 per share. The Convertible Debenture Holders agree to receive a limited amount of stock from their Escrow Agent each month with limits on how much can be sold. In exchange, the Company agrees to guarantee a certain average price for the stock that is sold and will gross up the balance, if any, the following year. The Settlement Agreement is an exhibit to Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated February 23, 2004.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OR MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2002

REVENUE. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased by $398,737 or 10.0% from $3,994,616 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $3,595,879 for the same period in 2003. Internet sales decreased $134,068 or 4.2% from $3,171,518 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $3,037,450 for the same period in 2003. Internet sales decreased due to declining dial-up customers. While the Company continues to sign up new customers, the trend is moving towards growth in broadband internet connections resulting in churn in excess of growth for dial-up customers. In addition to the slight decrease in internet sales, retail sales and development sales decreased by $170,764 or 28.1% and $93,905 or 43.4% respectively from $606,750 and $216,348 respectively for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $435,986 and $122,443 respectively for the same period ended in 2003. Retail sales reflect, in addition to a general slow down in the economy, competition from large retail establishments. Development has applied resources to projects related to internal improvements while economic conditions rebound.

COST OF REVENUE. Costs of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased by $165,931 or 8.5% from $1,956,820 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $1,790,889 for the same period in 2003. Internet cost of revenue decreased $126,322 or 8.6% from $1,467,268 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $1,340,946 for the same period in 2003. The decrease is due primarily to decreases in wages and other expenses. Wages decreased $80,863 or 24.5% from $329,579 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $248,716 for the same period ended December 31, 2003. The Company is continuing to cut wages while negotiating more favorable contracts with telecommunication vendors and making the network capacity more efficient and expects to realize these benefits prospectively. Retail cost of revenue decreased $29,406 or 8.2% from $358,521 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $329,115 for the same period in 2003. The primary reason for the decrease is a lower level of retail revenue.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $941,082 or 37.3% from $2,526,308 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $1,585,226 for the same period in 2003. This is due primarily to wages and professional fees reductions. Wages decreased $448,188 or 57.0% and professional fees decreased $239,891 or 67.5% from $786,086 and $355,531 respectively for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $337,104 and $115,639 respectively for the same period ended in 2003. The Company is cutting wages in operations as well as direct costs in addition to streamlining communications capabilities, via voice over IP applications, resulting in improved customer service and efficiencies in operations. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 decreased by $2,291,082 or 59.1% from $3,876,308 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $1,585,226 for the same period in 2003. The decrease is due primarily to the write down of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $1,350,000 related to goodwill impairment. We had no impairment of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2003. Our corporate office in California was moved to our Lynchburg, Virginia facility in the fourth quarter of 2002 resulting in reductions in operating expenses. While there were expenses associated with this move, lower operating expenses resulted from consolidating management and executive functions in our Lynchburg, Virginia office.

Corporate expenses of $437,768 for the year ended December 31, 2003 consisted of contingent expense from financing settlement of $220,000, professional fees of $109,854, consulting fees of $30,000 and other expenses of $2,113 . Corporate expenses of $833,331 for the year ended December 31, 2002 consisted of payroll of $396,450, professional fess of $242,272, other expenses of $123,390, rent of $28,155, travel of $21,825, insurance of $10,814 and public relations of $10,425.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 increased by $50,274 or 21.5% from $233,904 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $284,178 for the same period in 2003. This increase was a result of a higher level of borrowing.

BALANCE SHEET. Net accounts receivable decreased by $38,618 or 27.7% from $139,229 on December 31, 2002 to $100,611 on the same date in 2003. For the period ended December 31, 2003 the company wrote off as uncollectible $578,136 of doubtful accounts on December 31, 2003. Inventory decreased $9,098 or 7.1% from $127,890 on December 31, 2002 to $118,792 on December 31 2003. This decrease is primarily a result of lower levels of purchases of retail inventory. Accounts payable increased by $48,071 or 26.4% from $182,395 on December 31, 2003 to $230,466 for the same period in 2003. Accrued expenses increased by $68,351 or 54.4% from $125,639 on December 31, 2002 to $193,990 on December 31, 2003. These increases reflect the Company’s efforts to improve cash flow. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in the bank overdraft of $64,955 or 100% from $64,955 on December 31, 2002 to $0.00 in December 31, 2003. The current portion of capital leases decreased $13,999 or 100% from $13,999 on December 31, 2002 to $0.00 on December 31, 2003. Deferred revenue decreased by $47,388 or 13.0% from $364,174 on December 31, 2002 to $316,786 on December 31, 2003 representing a lower volume of customer accounts that have been prepaid. Long-term notes payable to stockholders decreased $157,998 or 19.3% from $817,949 on December 31, 2002 to $659,951 on December 31, 2003. This is a result of servicing the debt on the term notes. Long term notes payable decreased $24,955 or 15.1% from $165,528 on December 31, 2002 to $140,573 on December 31, 2003. This is a result of servicing the notes and obtaining favorable renewal terms on certain notes offset in part by the reclassification to current of an installment note as of December 31, 2003. This note was converted in the first quarter 2004 to a line of credit which renews annually.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the year ended December 31, 2003, we generated EBITDA at our operating subsidiary level of $821,793. This amount was offset by EBITDA at the corporate level of $(367,967). On May 11, 2000, the Company issued two convertible debentures aggregating $500,000. The debentures bore interest at 12% per annum and were due on May 1, 2001. The debenture holders voluntarily decided to hold on to the debentures. The debentures were convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a rate equal to the lowest of $.70 or 60% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices for the Company's common stock during the 20 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. In addition, the Company also issued three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.77 per share. Due to the preferential conversion feature of these debentures the Company recognized a financing charge of $242,857 (which represented the value of additional shares issuable upon conversion at the $.70 conversion price versus the number of shares issuable upon conversion at the market value at the date of issuance). In addition, the warrants issued in connection with these debentures were valued at $121,543 using the Black-Scholes model. Since these debentures were convertible on issuance, preferential conversion costs were expensed immediately and the value of the warrant was recognized as financing costs over the term of the debentures.

On August 14, 2000, the Company issued two additional convertible debentures aggregating $500,000 to the holders of the above-mentioned debentures for the same terms described above, except for the due date of August 14, 2001. In connection with these debentures, the Company recognized a financing charge in 2000 in connection with the preferential conversion feature of $333,333 and valued the 250,000 warrants issued in connection with these debentures at $13,332 using the Black-Scholes model. Since these debentures were convertible on issuance, the preferential conversion costs were expensed immediately and the value of the options was recognized as financing costs over the term of the debentures.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the holders of the debentures converted $12,200 of principal and $9,000 of accrued interest into 1,218,255 and 1,500,000, respectively, shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company repaid $325,000 of these debentures in cash.

On a cumulative basis through December 31, 2002, the holders of the debentures converted $525,588 of principal and $99,820 of accrued interest into 14,319,156 and 5,176,352, respectively, shares of the Company’s common stock. Also as of December 31, 2002, the Company had repaid $335,000 of these debentures in cash.

Effective January 31, 2004, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the Agreement) with the Convertible Debenture Holders whereby all legal action pending regarding the convertible debentures held by the Convertible Debenture Holders will be dismissed. The Settlement Agreement is an exhibit to Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated February 23, 2004.

The terms of the Agreement include a cash payment of $100,000 plus the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $.02 per share. The Agreement limits the number of shares the Convertible Debenture Holders can sell in any calendar month to 500,000 shares, beginning in May 2004. In exchange, the Company agrees to guarantee an average price of $.08 per share for the stock that is sold. To the extent that there is a differential between the actual selling price and the guaranteed selling price, the Company is obligated to pay the differential to the Convertible Debenture Holders within thirty days of receiving a request for payment. However, the request for payment can only be made between January 1, 2005 and February 28, 2005.

As a result of signing the Agreement, the Company has recognized a contingent liability of $220,000 as of December 31, 2003, representing management’s estimate of the potential additional payment that may be required under the terms of the Agreement related to the stock price guarantee.

Sales of Internet services, which are not automatically processed via credit card or bank account drafts, have been the company’s highest exposure to collection risk.

To help offset this exposure, the company has added a late payment fee to encourage timely payment by customers. Another effort to improve customer collections was the implementation of a uniform manual invoice processing fee, which has also helped to speed up the collections procedures. These steps and more aggressive collection efforts have shifted accounts receivable to a more current status which is easier to collect. The balance in the 30+ day category increased from 2.2% to 32.6% of total accounts receivable from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003. The balance in the 60+ day category increased from 13.3% to 38.8% of total accounts receivable from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003.

The aging of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2003 is as shown:

Current	$ 36,297	32.6%
30 +	43,198	38.8%
60 +	31,795	28.6%
90 +	0	0.0%
Total	$ 111,290	100.0%

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, and cash flow from operations and our ability to obtain favorable financing will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. If such sources of financing are insufficient or unavailable, or if we experience shortfalls in anticipated revenue or increases in anticipated expenses, we may need to slow down or reduce our marketing and development efforts. Any of these events could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To The Board of Directors And Stockholders

Sitestar Corporation and Subsidiaries

Lynchburg, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sitestar Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Sitestar Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003, and the results of their consolidated operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and as of December 31, 2003 had a working capital deficiency of $1,189,296 and a stockholders’ deficit of $204,333. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(and prior to that was formerly known as Holland American International Specialties (“HAIS”)), (the “Company”), began operations on June 1, 1997, under a partnership agreement, and was incorporated in California on November 4, 1997. On July 26, 1999, the Company restated its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to “Sitestar Corporation.” The Company was in the international specialty foods distribution business. In 1999, through the acquisition of two Internet Service Providers, the Company changed its focus from a food distribution company to an Internet holding company. The operations of the Company's Internet subsidiaries are located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The Company's corporate office is located in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company has had recent substantial net losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency of $1,189,296 and stockholders’ deficit of $204,333 as of December 31, 2003. These issues raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

In view of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary, should the Company be unable to continue its existence. In October 2002, new management was installed. New management has made plans to take the following steps that it believes will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue in existence and mitigate the concerns:

a) Increase revenue through aggressive marketing of Internet services in a nationwide campaign;

b) Continue to cut costs by securing more favorable telecommunications rates;

c) Continue to cut operating expenses in payroll and related expenses; and

d) Offering new products to reduce churn and expand the Company’s markets.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including: Neocom Microspecialists, Inc. (subsequently renamed Sitestar.net, Inc.), FRE Enterprises, Inc. and Advanced Internet Services, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. At December 31, 2003, the significant estimates used by management include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of its customer lists and goodwill and the amount of the contingent liability. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

For certain of the Company's assets and liabilities, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The amounts shown for notes payable also approximate fair value because current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company defines cash equivalents as all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $100,000 insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit in the form of unsecured accounts receivable to its customers. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is charged off to bad debt expense, is based on management’s assessment of current economic conditions and historical collection experience with each customer. Specific customer receivables are considered past due when they are outstanding beyond their contractual terms and are charged off to the allowance for doubtful accounts when determined uncollectible.

For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, bad debt expense was $162,853 and $177,807, respectively. As of December 31, 2003, accounts receivable consists of the following:

Gross accounts receivable

$ 111,290

Less allowance for doubtful accounts

(10,679)

$ 100,611

Sales of Internet services, which are not automatically processed via credit card or bank account drafts, have been the company’s highest exposure to collection risk.

To help offset this exposure, the company has added a late payment fee to encourage timely payments by customers. Another effort to improve customer collections was the implementation of a uniform manual invoice processing fee, which has also helped to speed up the collections process. Accounts over 90 days past due are turned over to a collection agency.

Inventory

Inventory consists principally of products purchased for resale and are maintained at the lower of cost (first in – first out basis) or market.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the declining balance method based on estimated useful lives from 3 to 7 years for equipment and 39 years for buildings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

The company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the asset less cost to sell.

Intangible Assets

The Company continually monitors its intangible assets to determine whether any impairment has occurred. In making such determination with respect to these assets, the Company evaluates the performance, on an undiscounted cash flow basis, of the intangible assets or group of assets. Should impairment be identified, a loss would be reported to the extent that the carrying value of the related intangible asset exceeds its fair value using the discounted cash flow method.

The Company's customer lists are being amortized over five years. Amortization expense for the customer lists was $356,589 and $321,270 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Amortization of customer lists for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005 and 2006 is expected to be $339,471, $172,254 and $18,432, respectively. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, amortization of goodwill ceased effective January 1, 2002. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company wrote down $1,350,000 of the value of goodwill related to its Internet operations. The write downs resulted from the decrease in value of the subscriber base due to competition and other sources available to customers to access the Internet. For the year ended December 31, 2003 there was no impairment of goodwill.

The changes in goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 are as follows:

	2003	2002
Goodwill, at beginning of year	$ 1,122,719	$ 2,412,719
Additional goodwill recorded related to Sitestar.net	-	60,000
Write-down of goodwill	-	(1,350,000)
Goodwill, at end of year	$ 1,122,719	$ 1,122,719

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents collections from customers in advance for services not yet performed and are recognized as revenue in the month service is provided.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue related to software licenses and software maintenance in compliance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position No. 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition.” Product revenue is recognized when the Company delivers the product to the customer and the Company believes that collectibility is probable. The Company usually has agreements with its customers to deliver the requested product for a fixed price. Any insignificant post-contract support obligations are accrued for at the time of the sale. Post-contract customer support (“PCS”) that is bundled with an initial licensing fee and is for one year or less is recognized at the time of the initial licensing, if collectability of the resulting receivable is probable. The estimated cost to the Company to provide such services is minimal and historically, the enhancements offered during the PCS period have been minimal. The Company sells PCS under a separate agreement. The agreements are for one to two years with a fixed number of hours of service for each month of the contract. The contract stipulates a fixed monthly payment, nonrefundable, due each month and any service hours incurred above the contractual amount are billed as incurred. Revenue is recognized under these agreements ratably over the term of the agreement. Revenue for services rendered in excess of the fixed monthly hours contained in the contracts are recognized as revenue as incurred.

The Company sells ISP services under annual and monthly contracts. Under the annual contracts, the subscriber pays a one-time annual fee, which is recognized as revenue ratably over the life of the contract. Under the monthly contracts, the subscriber is billed monthly and revenue is recognized for the month the service relates.

Sales of computer hardware are recognized as revenue upon delivery and acceptance of the product by the customer. Sales are adjusted for any returns or allowances.

Advertising and Marketing Costs

The Company expenses costs of advertising and marketing as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were approximately $99,800 and $92,100, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Income (Loss) Per Share

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company has no potentially dilutive securities.

Investments

In September 2000, the Company purchased a 4.74% interest in a limited liability company for $50,000. In addition, in June 2001, the Company purchased a 4.54% interest in a partnership for $45,000.

The investments in these unrelated companies were accounted for under the cost method. No adjustments were made to the original cost bases to account for the Company’s portion of the profit or losses of the investees. In 2002, as part of their compensation package upon leaving the Company, the Company agreed to transfer these assets to two former officers of the Company. The cost bases were used to value these investments transferred to the two former officers, as the fair value of the investments distributed could not be objectively measured nor were their value clearly realizable to the company during 2002.

Comprehensive Income

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had no items that represent other comprehensive income and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which requires companies to record the fair value of a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which they are incurred. The statement applies to a company's legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition, construction, and development or through the normal operation of a long-lived asset. When a liability is initially recorded, the company would capitalize the cost, thereby increasing the carrying amount of the related asset. The capitalized asset retirement cost is depreciated over the life of the respective asset while the liability is accreted to its present value. Upon settlement of the liability, the obligation is settled at its recorded amount or the company incurs a gain or loss. The statement was effective for the Company beginning in 2003. The Company currently does not have any transactions that are within the scope of this statement.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.” This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, “Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,” and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, “Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements” and FASB Statement No. 44, “Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers.” This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 13, “Accounting for Leases,” to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The statement was effective for the Company beginning in 2003. The Company currently does not have any transactions that are within the scope of this statement.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This statement nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” This statement requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred instead of at the date an entity commits to an exit plan. The statement was effective for the Company beginning in 2003. The Company currently does not have any transactions that are within the scope of this statement.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This interpretation sets forth expanded disclosure requirements in the financial statements about a guarantor’s obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that, under certain circumstances, a guarantor is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of the obligation at the inception of the guarantee. Certain types of guarantees, such as product warranties, guarantees accounted for as derivatives, and guarantees related to parent-subsidiary relationships are excluded from the liability recognition provisions of Interpretation No. 45, however, they are subject to the disclosure requirements. The statement was effective for the Company beginning in 2003. The Company currently does not have any transactions that are within the scope of this statement.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” This statement amends SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to allow for alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock issued to team members. This statement also amends FASB No. 123 to require disclosure of the accounting method used for valuation in both annual and interim financial statements. This statement permits an entity to recognize compensation expense under the prospective method, modified prospective method or the retroactive restatement method. If an entity elects to adopt this statement, fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003 must include this change in accounting for stock-based team member compensation. The Company currently does not have any transactions that are within the scope of this statement.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements.” Interpretation No. 46 prescribes how to identify variable interest entities and how an enterprise assesses its interests in a variable interest entity to decide whether to consolidate that entity. This interpretation requires existing unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. Interpretation No. 46 is effective immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. The interpretation applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company does not have interests in variable interest entities and it does not believe the adoption of Interpretation No. 46 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The Company currently does not have any transactions that are within the scope of this statement.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The Statement also includes required disclosures for financial instruments within its scope. The Statement was effective for instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise will be effective as of January 1, 2004, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. For certain mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, the statement will be effective as of January 1, 2005. The effective date has been deferred indefinitely for certain other types of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. The Company currently does not have any financial instruments that are within the scope of this Statement.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

Sitestar.net (formerly Neocom Microspecialists, Inc.)

On December 15, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Neocom Microspecialists, Inc. (NEOCOM), a Virginia corporation now known as Sitestar.net, in exchange for 6,782,353 shares of the Company's common stock. Effective upon the closing of the acquisition, the Company issued 4,782,353 shares of its common stock. In addition, the Company was required to issue an additional 2,000,000 shares of its common stock on the second anniversary of the acquisition date. The shares were held back for any potential unrecorded liabilities. In January 2002, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of this common stock to the original Sitestar.net shareholders that represented the contingent shares. The value of these additional shares issued was $60,000, based on the market value of the shares at the date of issuance, and was recorded as additional goodwill in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Lynchburg.net

On November 22, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of FRE Enterprises, Inc., a Virginia corporation (doing business as “Lynchburg.net” and “Computers by Design”) in exchange for 16,583,980 shares of the Company’s common stock. Effective upon the closing of the acquisition, the Company issued 12,437,985 shares of common stock and reserved 4,145,995 shares of common stock to issue on the third anniversary of the acquisition (November 22, 2003) based on certain contingencies related to potential unrecorded and unknown liabilities. As of December 31, 2003, these additional shares had not yet been issued.

Advanced Internet Services, Inc.

On July 1, 2001, the Company acquired 100% of the equity and voting interest of Advanced Internet Services, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“ADVI”). ADVI is an Internet service provider located in Mt. Airy, North Carolina. The purchase price was $965,980, which consisted of $150,000 in cash, transaction costs of $30,000, 6,021,818 of the Company’s common shares valued at $301,091 and a non-interest bearing promissory note for $1,199,990 (the present value was $484,889) payable in 24 quarterly installments of $51,078. Due to the non-interest bearing nature of the note, the Company imputed a discount rate of 36% to calculate the present value of the note. This discount rate was an estimate of the Company’s current cost of capital at the date of acquisition.

Digital Data Connections, Inc.

On December 31, 2002, the Company acquired 100% of the Internet-related assets of Digital Data Connections, Inc. (DigDat), a Virginia corporation and an Internet service provider located in Martinsville, Virginia. The purchase price was $161,523, which consisted of $50,000 in cash and a commitment to provide to the seller 80% of the collected Internet revenues for a period of ten months beginning January 1, 2003. The contingent consideration of $111,523 was estimated based on the anticipated monthly collections. Subsequent payments of contingent consideration have been applied to reduce the recorded liability.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS (continued)

Digital Data Connections, Inc.

The transaction was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of tangible assets acquired was attributed to the customer list and non-compete agreement, which are being amortized over the estimated three-year life and contractual three-year life, respectively. The value of the customer list was determined by multiplying the current market value per customer times the number of customers purchased at the time of the acquisition.

The fair value of assets acquired is summarized as follows:

	Equipment	$ 41,447
	Customer list	103,707
	Non-compete agreement	16,369
	Purchase price	$ 161,523 ========

Since the acquisition of DigDat was consummated on December 31, 2002, there are no results of operations of DigDat included in the accompanying 2002 consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and reflects the results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition of DigDat had been effective January 1, 2002. The pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations had the acquisition been effective as of that date, or of the anticipated results of operations, due to cost reductions and operating efficiencies that are expected as a result of the acquisitions.

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

On May 11, 2000, the Company issued two convertible debentures aggregating $500,000. The debentures bore interest at 12% per annum and were due on May 1, 2001. The debenture holders voluntarily decided to hold on to the debentures. The debentures were convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a rate equal to the lowest of $.70 or 60% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices for the Company's common stock during the 20 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. In addition, the Company also issued three-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.77 per share. Due to the preferential conversion feature of these debentures the Company recognized a financing charge of $242,857 (which represented the value of additional shares issuable upon conversion at the $.70 conversion price versus the number of shares issuable upon conversion at the market value at the date of issuance). In addition, the warrants issued in connection with these debentures were valued at $121,543 using the Black-Scholes model. Since these debentures were convertible on issuance, preferential conversion costs were expensed immediately and the value of the warrant was recognized as financing costs over the term of the debentures.
