NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND BACKGROUND ON THE 2015 RESTATEMENT

Organization and Lines of Business

Sitestar Corporation (formerly White Dove Systems, Inc., and then Interfoods Consolidated, Inc.) was incorporated in Nevada on December 17, 1992. On July 26, 1999, the Company restated its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to “Sitestar Corporation.” Unless the context otherwise requires, and when used in this Report, the “Company,” “Sitestar,” “we,” “our” or “us” refers to Sitestar Corporation and its subsidiaries.

The Company operates through four reportable segments: Corporate, Internet Operations, Real Estate Operations, and HVAC Operations. The management of the Company is also currently reviewing investment opportunities in the public and private markets, including in other lines of business.

Corporate

The corporate segment includes any revenue or expenses derived from corporate office operations as well as expenses related to public company reporting, the oversight of subsidiaries, and other items that affect the overall Company. Sitestar also invests in marketable securities through the corporate segment.

Internet Operations

The Company operates its internet operations through Sitestar.net, a wholly-owned subsidiary that offers consumer and business-grade internet access, wholesale managed modem services, web hosting, and various ancillary services. Sitestar.net provides services to customers in the United States and Canada.

Real Estate Operations

Sitestar owns a real estate investment portfolio that includes residential properties, vacant land, and one commercial property. Our real estate portfolio is primarily focused in the Roanoke and Lynchburg areas of Virginia. The portfolio includes single family homes that are currently rented and managed through a third-party property manager, as well as vacant properties being prepared or currently listed for sale. Pursuant to the approval of the Board of Directors, we are pursuing an orderly liquidation of our real estate portfolio. We do not have an estimate for how long it will take to complete this liquidation, if ever.

HVAC Operations

The Company operates its HVAC operations through HVAC Value Fund, LLC. HVAC Value Fund is focused on the acquisition and management of HVAC companies in Arizona and throughout the Southwest. As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2016, we, along with JNJ Investments, LLC, an unaffiliated third party and member of HVAC Value Fund, LLC, organized and launched this subsidiary on June 13, 2016. Sitestar has a 100% voting interest in HVAC Value Fund and JNJ Investments has the ability to earn a profits interests. Per the signed operating agreement, the Company has first claim to a portion of net income, with the remainder being allocated between the Company and JNJ Investments. JNJ Investments shall also be subject to a Loss Carryforward limitation in the event of a net loss.

As of September 30, 2016, HVAC Value Fund had closed on four acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of $1.14 million, two of which occurred in the quarter ended September 30, 2016. As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2016, the purpose of HVAC Value Fund is to acquire HVAC businesses. Accordingly, these four acquisitions were made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the customs and practices (including with respect to nature, scope, magnitude, quantity, frequency and contemplated purpose) of HVAC Value Fund, and, in turn, the Company.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND BACKGROUND ON THE 2015 RESTATEMENT (Continued)

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including: Sitestar.net, Inc., FRE Enterprises, Inc., Advanced Internet Services, Inc., NetRover Inc., and HVAC Value Fund, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Background on the 2015 restatement

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 18, 2016, on December 3, 2015 Sitestar’s former auditor notified the independent Directors of the Company of his concerns about several related party transactions and what the former auditor considered to be former management’s inadequate responses regarding these matters. The former auditor had not previously disclosed these concerns to the independent Directors and had not included the independent Directors in previous communications on the matter.

The independent Directors requested information from former management on December 7, 2015 and believed the responses from former management to be inadequate. The independent Directors provided former management with an additional opportunity to explain the issues on December 14, 2015 and again found the responses to be lacking. Accordingly, the Board of Directors voted to terminate the former CEO and place the now former CFO on probation. An independent Director, Steven L. Kiel, was appointed as the interim CEO during that meeting.

Directors also voted to form an Audit Committee at the December 14, 2015 meeting and appointed two independent Directors to the Committee. Among other things, the Audit Committee was tasked with reviewing and approving the engagement with an outside auditor.

Also at the December 14, 2015 meeting, Directors agreed to engage outside legal counsel to lead an investigation into the allegations by the Company’s former auditor. Legal counsel engaged an accounting firm to carry out an analysis of a range of transactions over the previous five years. The information above was originally detailed in 8-K filings on December 15, 2015 and December 29, 2015. A final investigation report was delivered to management in February 2016. This report served as the basis for a lawsuit filed by the Company against the former CEO, Mr. Erhartic, in April 2016. This lawsuit is described more fully in Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings”.

The results of the investigation, along with the problematic items identified by the former auditor and the accounting firm engaged to conduct the investigation, led the Company to make the decision that it was necessary to restate the 2014 10-K as well as the interim reports for 2014 and 2015.

Results in this quarterly report include the restated comparison figures for the corresponding interim periods of fiscal 2015. Adjustments to asset and liability balances for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 are related primarily to previous errors related to the fair value analysis and capitalization policy for real estate properties held for investment and resale, errors in the revenue recognition criteria, errors in the calculation of depreciation, errors in the calculation of tax expenses, and cut-off deficiencies related to quarter-end accruals.

Adjustments to cost of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 are related to previous errors in the accrual of expenses. Adjustments to operating expenses are related to errors in the accrual of salaries, errors in the accrual of expenses, errors in the calculation of bad debts, errors in the calculation of depreciation in the real estate segment and in property and equipment, reclassifications of expenses related to disputed use of funds by the former CEO, and clerical errors. Adjustments to other income are related to errors in the reporting of currency translations.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Sitestar Corporation, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 18, 2016 (the “2015 Form 10-K”). The comparative results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q reflect restated amounts, as described in and reported under the 2015 Form 10-K. The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016.

Use of Estimates

In accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United State of America (GAAP), the preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, goodwill valuation, other assets, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

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 and CDIC insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of customers’ 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.

Investments

The Company currently holds and makes investments in marketable securities through its corporate operations. Marketable securities held are classified as available-for-sale based on management’s intent. The classification of the investments in these marketable securities is assessed upon purchase and reassessed at each reporting period. These investments are recorded at fair value and are classified as marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains (losses) are categorized as Other Comprehensive Income. Realized gains (losses) on marketable securities are determined by specific identification. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis; dividends are recorded as earned on the ex-dividend date. Interest and dividend income are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of income in interest expense, net.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

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 account is individually determined to be uncollectible or account is more than 180 days past due.

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. The Company attempts to reduce this risk by including a late payment fee and a manual processing payment fee to customer accounts. Receivables more than ninety days past due are no longer included in accounts receivable and are turned over to a collection agency. Accounts more than 30 days are considered past due. 

Sales of HVAC services are typically paid via credit card or check upon completion of service. Sales that are not collected upon completion are generally to existing and repeat customers who have established a track record of timely payments. Historically, HVAC has not encountered issues with collectability of customer accounts. Accounts more than 30 days are considered past due.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with GAAP, 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 are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the asset less cost to sell.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives from three to seven years for equipment and vehicles, fifteen years for building improvements, and thirty-nine 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.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company tests its goodwill annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year or when events and circumstances indicate that those assets might not be recoverable.

Impairment testing of goodwill is required at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below operating segment) and involves a two-step process. Prior to performing the two-step impairment test, the Company may make a qualitative assessment of the likelihood of goodwill impairment in order to determine whether a detailed quantitative analysis is required. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units with the reporting units’ carrying amounts, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using discounted expected future cash flows. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed to compare the carrying amount of goodwill to the implied fair value of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

The Company performs an analysis of its goodwill as of December 31 annually.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Continued)

Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships, developed technology and software, trade names, and other assets acquired in conjunction with the purchases of businesses or purchases of assets from other companies. When management determines material intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the purchase of a business, the Company determines the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets by taking into account management’s own analysis and an independent third party valuation specialist’s appraisal. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The Company owns more than 125 domain names. These domains are valued at historical cost.

Real Estate

Real estate properties held for resale are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value. All costs directly related to the improvement and carrying of real estate are capitalized, including renovations and property taxes, to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the property. If the cost of the real estate exceeds the estimated fair value, the excess is charged to expense. Fair value is estimated based on comparable sales in the geographic area the real estate is located and tax assessed values. Fair value is evaluated annually by management, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the real estate may not be recoverable.

Real estate properties held for investment are carried at the cost basis plus additional expenses where the expense extended the life or added value to the property. Otherwise, the expense is not capitalized and is charged to expense. Properties categorized as real estate held for investment are not expected by management to be sold in the next 12 months. This determination is periodically reviewed by management.

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses represent incurred but not yet paid expenses from Sales and Use taxes for ISP services, vacation accruals, and other payroll accruals.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents collections from customers in advance of internet services to be performed. Revenue is recognized in the period service is provided.

Revenue Recognition

Internet Operations

The Company sells internet 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 period to which 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.

The Company generates revenue in its internet segment from consumer and business-grade internet access, wholesale managed modem services for downstream ISPs, web hosting, and various ancillary services in the United States and Canada. Services include narrow-band (dial-up and ISDN) and broadband services (DSL, fiber-optic and wireless), web hosting, and additional related services to consumers and businesses. Customers may downgrade from internet access to web hosting plans to include email access and storage. In some years, this shift can be significant. Internet revenue is affected by the changing composition of revenue sources.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Real Estate Operations

Revenue from real estate held for resale is recognized upon closing of the sale, as all conditions for full revenue recognition have been met at that time. All costs associated with the property sold are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and charged to cost of revenue at that time.

Rental revenue from real estate held for investment is recognized when it is due, generally on the first of each month or at another regular period agreed upon between the Company and the tenant. If payments are not provided in a timely manner, the amount due is designated as an account receivable. Accounts receivable from rental revenue are generally considered unrecoverable after 90 days unless the Company reasonably believes that recovery is probable. Tenants generally provide a security deposit at the time of possession. This deposit is held separate from revenue and only applied to revenue when rental payment comparable to the security deposit amount is not provided in a timely manner and considered unlikely to be recovered. Otherwise, the security deposit is returned in a timely manner after the property is surrendered back to the Company.

HVAC Operations

The company performs HVAC service repairs and installs HVAC units for its customers. Revenue is recognized at the time of the install or service call. Sales are adjusted for any returns or allowances. If an install is performed over multiple days, it is accounted for using work in process (WIP) accounting in accordance with GAAP. If payment is not provided in advance or at the time of service or installation, the amount due is designated as an account receivable.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. 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 not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The most recent three tax years are open to potential IRS examination.

Income Per Share

The basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted income per common share is computed similar to basic income 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.  

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is the result of two items: the impact of foreign currency translations related to the Company’s operations in Canada, and the unrealized gains (losses) from marketable securities classified as available-for-sale.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” by one year. As a result, the ASU is now effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU No. 2014-09 provides comprehensive guidance on the recognition of revenue from customers arising from the transfer of goods and services. The ASU also provides guidance on accounting for certain contract costs, and requires new disclosures. Early adoption is not permitted. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2018. The initial application of the standard is not expected to significantly impact the Company. 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). The ASU provides guidance related to the classifications of deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities that are not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting are classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2018. The initial application of the standard is not expected to significantly impact the Company.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." Although the ASU retains many of the current requirements for financial instruments, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; earlier adoption is permitted under certain criteria. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS

The Company may invest excess cash in marketable securities through its corporate segment. The fair values of the Company’s marketable securities are determined in accordance with GAAP, with fair value being defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The following available-for-sale securities, which comprise all of the Company’s marketable securities, are re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis and are valued using Level 1 inputs, which are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets in active markets:

	Cost Basis		Unrealized Gain		Fair Value
September 30, 2016
Common Stock available for sale	$	2,486,403	$	28,657	$	2,515,060

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for disclosing assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the inputs used to value them. The fair value hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market pricing data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs as follows:

Table Of Contents  14

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (Continued)

· Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices in active markets as of the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. This category includes exchange-traded mutual funds and equity securities.

· Level 2 - Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates or yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. This category includes mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. agency and municipal debt securities, U.S. Treasury securities and derivative contracts.

· Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The measurements are highly subjective.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company valued its marketable securities at fair value at the end of each reporting period.

	(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)		Total at Fair Value
September 30, 2016
Marketable securities	$	2,515,060	$	—	$	—	$	2,515,060

NOTE 5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The cost of property and equipment at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of the following:

	2016			2015
Automobile	$	95,687		$	9,500
Equipment		13,700			—
Furniture and fixtures		22,206			13,788

Accordingly, these five acquisitions were made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the customs and practices (including with respect to nature, scope, magnitude, quantity, frequency and contemplated purpose) of HVAC Value Fund, and, in turn, the Company. Also, as previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 6, 2016, as of October 1, 2016, the Company has contributed additional capital in the amount of $500,000 to HVAC Value Fund.

On October 11, 2016, Sitestar organized Willow Oak Asset Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Willow Oak”). Sitestar is the sole member of Willow Oak. Willow Oak was formed in preparation of pursuing a new business opportunity with Alluvial Capital Management, LLC, as described in Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” below. To date, Willow Oak has yet to carry out any material business or have any material assets or liabilities.

As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 9, 2016, on November 1, 2016, the Company appointed Rodney E. Lake as Chief Operating Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company. In his capacity as Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Lake will serve as the Company’s principal operating officer.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This section is intended to provide readers of our financial statements information regarding our financial condition, results of operations, and items that management views as important. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that such results or trends will necessarily continue in the future.

Overview

Sitestar Corporation (“Sitestar,” the “Company,” or “we”) operates under four segments:

· Corporate: The corporate segment includes any revenue or expenses derived from corporate office operations as well as expenses related to public company reporting, the oversight of subsidiaries, and other items that affect the overall Company. Sitestar also invests in marketable securities through the corporate segment.

· Internet Operations: The Company operates its internet operations through Sitestar.net, a wholly owned subsidiary that offers consumer and business-grade internet access, wholesale managed modem services, web hosting, and various ancillary services. Sitestar.net provides services and support to customers in the United States and Canada.

· Real Estate Operations: Sitestar owns a real estate investment portfolio that includes residential properties, vacant land, and one commercial property. Our real estate portfolio is primarily focused in the Roanoke and Lynchburg areas of Virginia. The portfolio includes single family homes that are currently rented and managed through a third-party property manager, as well as vacant properties being prepared or currently listed for sale. Pursuant to the approval of the Board of Directors, we are pursuing an orderly liquidation of our real estate portfolio. We do not have an estimate for how long it will take to complete this liquidation, if ever.

Overview (Continued)

· HVAC Operations: The Company operates its HVAC Operations through HVAC Value Fund, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on the acquisition and management of HVAC companies in Arizona and throughout the Southwest. As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2016, we, along with JNJ Investments, LLC, an unaffiliated third party and member of HVAC Value Fund, LLC, organized and launched this subsidiary on June 13, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, HVAC Value Fund had closed on four acquisitions totaling $1,140,000. Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2016, HVAC Value Fund closed on one additional acquisition totaling $315,000.

Summary of Financial Performance

Common stockholders’ equity increased from $3,871,633 at June 30, 2016 to $7,762,511 at September 30, 2016. The change was mostly attributable to $3,854,929 of additional common stock issued. This change was also driven by $20,718 in comprehensive income from the real estate segment, $285,625 of comprehensive income in the internet segment, $66,370 in comprehensive income in the HVAC segment, and $21,694 of other comprehensive loss in the corporate segment. The other loss attributable to the corporate segment was primarily the result of unrealized capital losses from investments in marketable securities. Corporate expenses for the quarter totaled $317,208.

Results of operations

Corporate

In the quarter ended September 30, 2016 the corporate segment did not produce revenue. A total of $21,694 of other comprehensive loss was generated as a result of unrealized capital losses from the ownership of marketable securities. Expenses totaled $317,208. This compares to corporate expenses of $71,420 incurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Expenses were higher during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to increased accounting expenses, increased legal expenses, and increased consulting expenses. This was offset by decreased dues and subscription expense, decreased insurance expense, and decreased rent expense. We paid no rent towards the corporate office during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. This office was vacated January 15, 2016.

Real Estate Operations

As of September 30, 2016, we owned 21 residential properties, one commercial property, and interests in several lots. In 2008, the Company had implemented a program to redirect cash generated from the internet operations into the purchase and renovation of real estate. This program was abolished with the change in management on December 14, 2015. New management determined that it was unlikely that an acceptable return could be made by continuing to pursue the real estate acquisition and renovation policy. Accordingly, we are pursuing efforts in this segment to liquidate portions of the real estate portfolio in an orderly fashion. It is likely that this liquidation will take several years to fully complete.

In the quarter ended September 30, 2016, we sold four residential properties for gross proceeds of $377,900. Net proceeds totaled $339,036. This compares to their carrying value of $346,802. No properties were acquired during this time period or subsequent to the quarter ending. We continue to market for sale or prepare to market for sale each property in the held for resale category. Properties have either sold as-is or have been repaired and upgraded before being listed for sale. Several real estate agents have been engaged to market the remaining properties listed for resale.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company held 13 residential properties, one commercial property, and several lots as held for resale. These properties held for resale were carried on the balance sheet at $1,546,867. As of September 30, 2016, the Company held eight residential properties as held for investment. These properties held for investment were carried on the balance sheet at $510,525. This compares to the quarter ended June 30, 2016 when real estate held for resale totaled $1,566,897 and real estate held for investment totaled $769,360.

Eight properties were current with regards to tenant payments as of September 30, 2016. We engaged a third-party property management company on January 15, 2016 to manage these rental properties. The leases in effect as of the quarter ended June 30, 2016 are based on either annual or multi-year time periods and include month-to-month provisions after the completion of the initial term. The property management company has introduced updated and renewed leases for existing rental properties.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company generated rental revenue of $27,023, net of bad debt expense. The cost of revenue totaled $11,104. This compared to rental revenue of $31,550, net of bad debt during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The cost of revenue during the comparison period totaled $22,842. The increase in rental revenue was the result of improved rent collections due to the management by our third-party property manager.

Depreciation expense totaled $5,302 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Total accumulated depreciation as of September 30, 2016 totaled $72,648.

Internet Operations – Sitestar.net

The focus of our internet segment is to generate cash flow, work to make as many of our costs variable, and reinvest in our operations when an acceptable return is available.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Internet Operations – Sitestar.net (Continued)

Revenue attributed to the internet segment during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 totaled $355,384. While this was a decrease of $38,023 when compared to revenue generated in this segment during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 totaling $393,407, it was consistent with revenue reported by this segment in the quarter ended June 30, 2016 of $356,815. The year over year decline from the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 was 9.7%. This was an improvement from the year over decline of 12.5% reported at the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The year over year revenue decline is the result of fewer customer renewals and the absence of new customers. Other income attributable to the internet segment during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 includes $90,000 from the sale of a block of IP addresses that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

The cost of revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 totaled $70,290. This was a decrease of $109,046 when compared to the cost of revenue in this segment during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 totaling $179,336. This decrease was the result of decreased revenues and our work to restructure vender contracts and reduce fixed costs.

The table below provides a summary of income statement figures over time. These figures are specific to the internet segment and are presented for the quarterly periods designated below.

	September 30, 2016		June 30, 2016		March 31, 2016			December 31, 2015
Revenues	$	355,384	$	356,815	$	356,085	$		380,310

Comprehensive income (loss)	$	285,847	$	192,673	$	136,060	$		(757,584)

Management has the resources to identify the current market value for domain names in order to assess potential income opportunities. Management also evaluates domain names available for purchase in order to generate new revenue from customers who utilize the domains.

Effective January 1, 2016, we have improved our internal reporting in the internet segment. As of September 30, 2016, we have a total of 7,793 customer accounts in both our U.S. and Canada operations. No comparison figures from the quarter ended September 30, 2015 exist. As of June 30, 2016, we had a total of 8,093 customer accounts in both our U.S. and Canada operations. Our current mix of customers consists of approximately 74% internet access and 26% web hosting and storage.

Approximately 89% of our customer accounts are managed by our U.S. operations and 11% of our customer accounts are managed by our Canada operations. Revenue generated by our U.S. operations totaled $331,480 and revenue generated by our Canada operations totaled $23,904 during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. This compares to revenue generated by our U.S. operations of $366,606 and revenue generated by our Canada operations of $26,801 during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

We closed our Canada office on February 29, 2016 and terminated the employment of two employees. We now service our Canada customers remotely and utilize one full time employee in Canada.

HVAC Operations – HVAC Value Fund, LLC

The Company operates its HVAC operations through HVAC Value Fund, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on the acquisition and management of HVAC companies in Arizona and throughout the Southwest. As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2016, we, along with JNJ Investments, LLC, an unaffiliated third party and member of HVAC Value Fund, LLC, organized and launched this subsidiary on June 13, 2016. HVAC Value Fund closed on two acquisitions totaling $225,000 in June. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, HVAC Value Fund closed on two acquisitions totaling $915,000. Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2016, HVAC Value Fund closed on one additional acquisition totaling $315,000. As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2016, the purpose of HVAC Value Fund is to acquire HVAC businesses. Accordingly, all of our acquisitions were made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the customs and practices (including with respect to nature, scope, magnitude, quantity, frequency and contemplated purpose) of HVAC Value Fund, and, in turn, the Company.

Our HVAC operations generated revenue of $906,910 during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. Cost of revenue totaled $649,881 and operating expenses totaled $219,537. Other comprehensive expense totaled $1,122. The other comprehensive expense is related to the interest portion of the notes payable incurred by the HVAC Value Fund. Comprehensive income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 totaled $66,370. No comparable figures exist for 2015.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and equivalents totaled $1,668,948 at quarter end September 30, 2016 compared to $946,665 at quarter end June 30, 2016 as a result of the sale of real estate properties and the issuance of stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2016. During this time period, net accounts receivable increased to $257,771 from $28,257 primarily due to the launch of operations in our HVAC subsidiary.

Accounts payable increased to $105,132 at quarter end September 30, 2016 compared to $80,083 at quarter end June 30, 2016. Accrued expenses increased to $144,125 from $36,639 during this time period. Deferred revenue decreased to $241,174 from $252,612 during this time period.

We currently believe that our existing balances of cash, cash equivalents, and cash generated from operations and from the sale of our real estate portfolio will be sufficient to satisfy our currently anticipated cash requirements through at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. The Company does not have significant long-term debt. Our liquidity could be negatively affected if we were to make an acquisition, which may necessitate the need to raise capital through future debt or equity financing. Additional financing may not be available at all or on terms favorable to us.

The aging of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is as shown:

	September 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Current	$	235,111	$	9,914

60 + days	$	5,552	$	1,178
Total	$	257,770	$	13,036

Contractual Obligations

On June 13, 2016, we entered into an agreement with HVAC Value Fund, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, in which we committed to contribute an additional $1 million of capital to the subsidiary if certain benchmarks are met. As of November 11, 2016, $500,000 of this additional capital commitment has been met and contributed to HVAC Value Fund. The earliest that this additional capital commitment would be contractually due for contribution is June 30, 2017. However, as previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 6, 2016, on September 8, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the Company to accelerate its existing commitment to make additional capital contributions to HVAC Value Fund, and the Company expects to contribute to HVAC Value Fund the remainder of the amount of this additional capital commitment when and as HVAC Value Fund requires the same for its business, acquisition and/or investment activities.

As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 19, 2016, on September 19, 2016, the Company announced that it had entered into a letter of intent agreement with Alluvial Capital Management, LLC (“Alluvial Capital”) to make a seed investment in a soon to be launched private investment partnership. Alluvial Capital will act as the general partner and the Company will invest in the private investment partnership as a limited partner.

The Company has agreed to make a seed investment totaling $10,000,000 in the private investment partnership to be provided over several tranches. The Company is obligated to provide $2.5 million at launch. This commitment will be funded through cash on hand and through the proceeds of one or more private placements. In conjunction with the investment, the Company is developing an asset management subsidiary.

We have no other meaningful long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2016.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

This item is not required by smaller reporting companies.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2016, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Because of inherent limitations, any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objective. Based upon their evaluation, and based upon material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified as of the date of our most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2016. Management is aware of these deficiencies and is working diligently to improve the relevant controls and procedures; provided, however, there can be no assurance that such relevant controls and procedures will be improved or, even if improved, that such improved controls and procedures will be effective.

Changes in Our Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On April 12, 2016, Sitestar filed a civil action complaint against Frank Erhartic, Jr. (the “Former CEO”), the Company’s former CEO and director and currently an owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of the Company’s Common Stock, alleging, among other things, that the Former CEO engaged in, and caused the Company to engage in to its detriment, a series of unauthorized and wrongful related party transactions, including causing the Company to borrow certain amounts from the Former CEO’s mother unnecessarily and at a commercially unreasonable rate of interest, converting certain funds of the Company for personal rent payments to the Former CEO, commingling in land trusts certain real properties owned by the Company and real properties owned by the Former CEO, causing the Company to pay certain amounts to the Former CEO for lease payments under an unauthorized lease as to a storage facility owned by the Former CEO, causing the Company to pay rent on its corporate headquarters owned by the Former CEO’s ex-wife in amounts commercially unreasonable and excessive and to make real estate tax payments thereon for the personal benefit of the Former CEO, converting to the Former CEO and/or absconding with five motor vehicles owned by the Company, causing the Company to pay real property and personal property taxes on numerous properties owned personally by the Former CEO, causing the Company to pay personal credit card debt of the Former CEO, causing the Company to significantly overpay the Former CEO’s health and dental insurance for the benefit of the Former CEO, and causing the Company to pay the Former CEO’s personal automobile insurance.

1. ORGANIZATION, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND BACKGROUND ON THE 2015 RESTATEMENT

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

1. ORGANIZATION, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND BACKGROUND ON THE 2015 RESTATEMENT

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, AND BACKGROUND ON THE 2015 RESTATEMENT

Organization and Lines of Business

Sitestar Corporation (formerly White Dove Systems, Inc., and then Interfoods Consolidated, Inc.) was incorporated in Nevada on December 17, 1992. On July 26, 1999, the Company restated its Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to “Sitestar Corporation.” Unless the context otherwise requires, and when used in this Report, the “Company,” “Sitestar,” “we,” “our” or “us” refers to Sitestar Corporation and its subsidiaries.

The Company operates through four reportable segments: Corporate, Internet Operations, Real Estate Operations, and HVAC Operations. The management of the Company is also currently reviewing investment opportunities in the public and private markets, including in other lines of business.

Corporate

The corporate segment includes any revenue or expenses derived from corporate office operations as well as expenses related to public company reporting, the oversight of subsidiaries, and other items that affect the overall Company. Sitestar also invests in marketable securities through the corporate segment.

Internet Operations

The Company operates its internet operations through Sitestar.net, a wholly-owned subsidiary that offers consumer and business-grade internet access, wholesale managed modem services, web hosting, and various ancillary services. Sitestar.net provides services to customers in the United States and Canada.

Real Estate Operations

Sitestar owns a real estate investment portfolio that includes residential properties, vacant land, and one commercial property. Our real estate portfolio is primarily focused in the Roanoke and Lynchburg areas of Virginia. The portfolio includes single family homes that are currently rented and managed through a third-party property manager, as well as vacant properties being prepared or currently listed for sale. Pursuant to the approval of the Board of Directors, we are pursuing an orderly liquidation of our real estate portfolio. We do not have an estimate for how long it will take to complete this liquidation, if ever.

HVAC Operations

The Company operates its HVAC operations through HVAC Value Fund, LLC. HVAC Value Fund is focused on the acquisition and management of HVAC companies in Arizona and throughout the Southwest. As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2016, we, along with JNJ Investments, LLC, an unaffiliated third party and member of HVAC Value Fund, LLC, organized and launched this subsidiary on June 13, 2016. Sitestar has a 100% voting interest in HVAC Value Fund and JNJ Investments has the ability to earn a profits interests. Per the signed operating agreement, the Company has first claim to a portion of net income, with the remainder being allocated between the Company and JNJ Investments. JNJ Investments shall also be subject to a Loss Carryforward limitation in the event of a net loss.

As of September 30, 2016, HVAC Value Fund had closed on four acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of $1.14 million, two of which occurred in the quarter ended September 30, 2016. As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 14, 2016, the purpose of HVAC Value Fund is to acquire HVAC businesses. Accordingly, these four acquisitions were made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the customs and practices (including with respect to nature, scope, magnitude, quantity, frequency and contemplated purpose) of HVAC Value Fund, and, in turn, the Company.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including: Sitestar.net, Inc., FRE Enterprises, Inc., Advanced Internet Services, Inc., NetRover Inc., and HVAC Value Fund, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Background on the 2015 restatement

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 18, 2016, on December 3, 2015 Sitestar’s former auditor notified the independent Directors of the Company of his concerns about several related party transactions and what the former auditor considered to be former management’s inadequate responses regarding these matters. The former auditor had not previously disclosed these concerns to the independent Directors and had not included the independent Directors in previous communications on the matter.

The independent Directors requested information from former management on December 7, 2015 and believed the responses from former management to be inadequate. The independent Directors provided former management with an additional opportunity to explain the issues on December 14, 2015 and again found the responses to be lacking. Accordingly, the Board of Directors voted to terminate the former CEO and place the now former CFO on probation. An independent Director, Steven L. Kiel, was appointed as the interim CEO during that meeting.

Directors also voted to form an Audit Committee at the December 14, 2015 meeting and appointed two independent Directors to the Committee. Among other things, the Audit Committee was tasked with reviewing and approving the engagement with an outside auditor.

Also at the December 14, 2015 meeting, Directors agreed to engage outside legal counsel to lead an investigation into the allegations by the Company’s former auditor. Legal counsel engaged an accounting firm to carry out an analysis of a range of transactions over the previous five years. The information above was originally detailed in 8-K filings on December 15, 2015 and December 29, 2015. A final investigation report was delivered to management in February 2016. This report served as the basis for a lawsuit filed by the Company against the former CEO, Mr. Erhartic, in April 2016. This lawsuit is described more fully in Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings”.

The results of the investigation, along with the problematic items identified by the former auditor and the accounting firm engaged to conduct the investigation, led the Company to make the decision that it was necessary to restate the 2014 10-K as well as the interim reports for 2014 and 2015.

Results in this quarterly report include the restated comparison figures for the corresponding interim periods of fiscal 2015. Adjustments to asset and liability balances for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 are related primarily to previous errors related to the fair value analysis and capitalization policy for real estate properties held for investment and resale, errors in the revenue recognition criteria, errors in the calculation of depreciation, errors in the calculation of tax expenses, and cut-off deficiencies related to quarter-end accruals.

Adjustments to cost of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 are related to previous errors in the accrual of expenses. Adjustments to operating expenses are related to errors in the accrual of salaries, errors in the accrual of expenses, errors in the calculation of bad debts, errors in the calculation of depreciation in the real estate segment and in property and equipment, reclassifications of expenses related to disputed use of funds by the former CEO, and clerical errors. Adjustments to other income are related to errors in the reporting of currency translations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2016

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Sitestar Corporation, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 18, 2016 (the “2015 Form 10-K”). The comparative results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q reflect restated amounts, as described in and reported under the 2015 Form 10-K. The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016.

Use of Estimates

In accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United State of America (GAAP), the preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, goodwill valuation, other assets, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

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 and CDIC insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of customers’ 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.

Investments

The Company currently holds and makes investments in marketable securities through its corporate operations. Marketable securities held are classified as available-for-sale based on management’s intent. The classification of the investments in these marketable securities is assessed upon purchase and reassessed at each reporting period. These investments are recorded at fair value and are classified as marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains (losses) are categorized as Other Comprehensive Income. Realized gains (losses) on marketable securities are determined by specific identification. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis; dividends are recorded as earned on the ex-dividend date. Interest and dividend income are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of income in interest expense, net.

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 account is individually determined to be uncollectible or account is more than 180 days past due.

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. The Company attempts to reduce this risk by including a late payment fee and a manual processing payment fee to customer accounts. Receivables more than ninety days past due are no longer included in accounts receivable and are turned over to a collection agency. Accounts more than 30 days are considered past due. 

Sales of HVAC services are typically paid via credit card or check upon completion of service. Sales that are not collected upon completion are generally to existing and repeat customers who have established a track record of timely payments. Historically, HVAC has not encountered issues with collectability of customer accounts. Accounts more than 30 days are considered past due.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with GAAP, 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 are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the asset less cost to sell.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives from three to seven years for equipment and vehicles, fifteen years for building improvements, and thirty-nine 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.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company tests its goodwill annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year or when events and circumstances indicate that those assets might not be recoverable.

Impairment testing of goodwill is required at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below operating segment) and involves a two-step process. Prior to performing the two-step impairment test, the Company may make a qualitative assessment of the likelihood of goodwill impairment in order to determine whether a detailed quantitative analysis is required. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units with the reporting units’ carrying amounts, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using discounted expected future cash flows. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed to compare the carrying amount of goodwill to the implied fair value of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

The Company performs an analysis of its goodwill as of December 31 annually.

Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships, developed technology and software, trade names, and other assets acquired in conjunction with the purchases of businesses or purchases of assets from other companies. When management determines material intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the purchase of a business, the Company determines the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets by taking into account management’s own analysis and an independent third party valuation specialist’s appraisal. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The Company owns more than 125 domain names. These domains are valued at historical cost.

Real Estate

Real estate properties held for resale are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value. All costs directly related to the improvement and carrying of real estate are capitalized, including renovations and property taxes, to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the property. If the cost of the real estate exceeds the estimated fair value, the excess is charged to expense. Fair value is estimated based on comparable sales in the geographic area the real estate is located and tax assessed values. Fair value is evaluated annually by management, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the real estate may not be recoverable.

Real estate properties held for investment are carried at the cost basis plus additional expenses where the expense extended the life or added value to the property. Otherwise, the expense is not capitalized and is charged to expense. Properties categorized as real estate held for investment are not expected by management to be sold in the next 12 months. This determination is periodically reviewed by management.

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses represent incurred but not yet paid expenses from Sales and Use taxes for ISP services, vacation accruals, and other payroll accruals.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents collections from customers in advance of internet services to be performed. Revenue is recognized in the period service is provided.

Revenue Recognition

Internet Operations

The Company sells internet 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 period to which 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.

The Company generates revenue in its internet segment from consumer and business-grade internet access, wholesale managed modem services for downstream ISPs, web hosting, and various ancillary services in the United States and Canada. Services include narrow-band (dial-up and ISDN) and broadband services (DSL, fiber-optic and wireless), web hosting, and additional related services to consumers and businesses. Customers may downgrade from internet access to web hosting plans to include email access and storage. In some years, this shift can be significant. Internet revenue is affected by the changing composition of revenue sources.

Real Estate Operations

Revenue from real estate held for resale is recognized upon closing of the sale, as all conditions for full revenue recognition have been met at that time. All costs associated with the property sold are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and charged to cost of revenue at that time.

Rental revenue from real estate held for investment is recognized when it is due, generally on the first of each month or at another regular period agreed upon between the Company and the tenant. If payments are not provided in a timely manner, the amount due is designated as an account receivable. Accounts receivable from rental revenue are generally considered unrecoverable after 90 days unless the Company reasonably believes that recovery is probable. Tenants generally provide a security deposit at the time of possession. This deposit is held separate from revenue and only applied to revenue when rental payment comparable to the security deposit amount is not provided in a timely manner and considered unlikely to be recovered. Otherwise, the security deposit is returned in a timely manner after the property is surrendered back to the Company.

HVAC Operations

The company performs HVAC service repairs and installs HVAC units for its customers. Revenue is recognized at the time of the install or service call. Sales are adjusted for any returns or allowances. If an install is performed over multiple days, it is accounted for using work in process (WIP) accounting in accordance with GAAP. If payment is not provided in advance or at the time of service or installation, the amount due is designated as an account receivable.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. 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 not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The most recent three tax years are open to potential IRS examination.

Income Per Share

The basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted income per common share is computed similar to basic income 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.  

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is the result of two items: the impact of foreign currency translations related to the Company’s operations in Canada, and the unrealized gains (losses) from marketable securities classified as available-for-sale.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” by one year. As a result, the ASU is now effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU No. 2014-09 provides comprehensive guidance on the recognition of revenue from customers arising from the transfer of goods and services. The ASU also provides guidance on accounting for certain contract costs, and requires new disclosures. Early adoption is not permitted. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2018. The initial application of the standard is not expected to significantly impact the Company. 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). The ASU provides guidance related to the classifications of deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities that are not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting are classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2018. The initial application of the standard is not expected to significantly impact the Company.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." Although the ASU retains many of the current requirements for financial instruments, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; earlier adoption is permitted under certain criteria. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

3. INVESTMENTS

NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS

The Company may invest excess cash in marketable securities through its corporate segment. The fair values of the Company’s marketable securities are determined in accordance with GAAP, with fair value being defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The following available-for-sale securities, which comprise all of the Company’s marketable securities, are re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis and are valued using Level 1 inputs, which are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets in active markets:

	Cost Basis		Unrealized Gain		Fair Value

4. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company has adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for disclosing assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the inputs used to value them. The fair value hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are based on market pricing data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs as follows:

· Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices in active markets as of the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. This category includes exchange-traded mutual funds and equity securities.

· Level 2 - Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates or yield curves, that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. This category includes mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. agency and municipal debt securities, U.S. Treasury securities and derivative contracts.

· Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The measurements are highly subjective.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company valued its marketable securities at fair value at the end of each reporting period.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Sep. 30, 2016

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Sitestar Corporation, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 18, 2016 (the “2015 Form 10-K”). The comparative results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q reflect restated amounts, as described in and reported under the 2015 Form 10-K. The results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

In accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United State of America (GAAP), the preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, goodwill valuation, other assets, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

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 and CDIC insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of customers’ 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.

Investments

Investments

The Company currently holds and makes investments in marketable securities through its corporate operations. Marketable securities held are classified as available-for-sale based on management’s intent. The classification of the investments in these marketable securities is assessed upon purchase and reassessed at each reporting period. These investments are recorded at fair value and are classified as marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains (losses) are categorized as Other Comprehensive Income. Realized gains (losses) on marketable securities are determined by specific identification. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis; dividends are recorded as earned on the ex-dividend date. Interest and dividend income are recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of income in interest expense, net.

Accounts Receivable

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 account is individually determined to be uncollectible or account is more than 180 days past due.

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. The Company attempts to reduce this risk by including a late payment fee and a manual processing payment fee to customer accounts. Receivables more than ninety days past due are no longer included in accounts receivable and are turned over to a collection agency. Accounts more than 30 days are considered past due. 

Sales of HVAC services are typically paid via credit card or check upon completion of service. Sales that are not collected upon completion are generally to existing and repeat customers who have established a track record of timely payments. Historically, HVAC has not encountered issues with collectability of customer accounts. Accounts more than 30 days are considered past due.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with GAAP, 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 are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of the asset less cost to sell.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives from three to seven years for equipment and vehicles, fifteen years for building improvements, and thirty-nine 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.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company does not amortize goodwill. The Company tests its goodwill annually during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year or when events and circumstances indicate that those assets might not be recoverable.

Impairment testing of goodwill is required at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below operating segment) and involves a two-step process. Prior to performing the two-step impairment test, the Company may make a qualitative assessment of the likelihood of goodwill impairment in order to determine whether a detailed quantitative analysis is required. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units with the reporting units’ carrying amounts, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using discounted expected future cash flows. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is performed to compare the carrying amount of goodwill to the implied fair value of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

The Company performs an analysis of its goodwill as of December 31 annually.

Other intangible assets consist of customer relationships, developed technology and software, trade names, and other assets acquired in conjunction with the purchases of businesses or purchases of assets from other companies. When management determines material intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the purchase of a business, the Company determines the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets by taking into account management’s own analysis and an independent third party valuation specialist’s appraisal. Intangible assets determined to have definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The Company owns more than 125 domain names. These domains are valued at historical cost.

Real Estate

Real Estate

Real estate properties held for resale are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value. All costs directly related to the improvement and carrying of real estate are capitalized, including renovations and property taxes, to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the property. If the cost of the real estate exceeds the estimated fair value, the excess is charged to expense. Fair value is estimated based on comparable sales in the geographic area the real estate is located and tax assessed values. Fair value is evaluated annually by management, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the real estate may not be recoverable.

Real estate properties held for investment are carried at the cost basis plus additional expenses where the expense extended the life or added value to the property. Otherwise, the expense is not capitalized and is charged to expense. Properties categorized as real estate held for investment are not expected by management to be sold in the next 12 months. This determination is periodically reviewed by management.

Accrued Expenses

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses represent incurred but not yet paid expenses from Sales and Use taxes for ISP services, vacation accruals, and other payroll accruals.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents collections from customers in advance of internet services to be performed. Revenue is recognized in the period service is provided.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Internet Operations

The Company sells internet 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 period to which 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.

The Company generates revenue in its internet segment from consumer and business-grade internet access, wholesale managed modem services for downstream ISPs, web hosting, and various ancillary services in the United States and Canada. Services include narrow-band (dial-up and ISDN) and broadband services (DSL, fiber-optic and wireless), web hosting, and additional related services to consumers and businesses. Customers may downgrade from internet access to web hosting plans to include email access and storage. In some years, this shift can be significant. Internet revenue is affected by the changing composition of revenue sources.

Real Estate Operations

Revenue from real estate held for resale is recognized upon closing of the sale, as all conditions for full revenue recognition have been met at that time. All costs associated with the property sold are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and charged to cost of revenue at that time.

Rental revenue from real estate held for investment is recognized when it is due, generally on the first of each month or at another regular period agreed upon between the Company and the tenant. If payments are not provided in a timely manner, the amount due is designated as an account receivable. Accounts receivable from rental revenue are generally considered unrecoverable after 90 days unless the Company reasonably believes that recovery is probable. Tenants generally provide a security deposit at the time of possession. This deposit is held separate from revenue and only applied to revenue when rental payment comparable to the security deposit amount is not provided in a timely manner and considered unlikely to be recovered. Otherwise, the security deposit is returned in a timely manner after the property is surrendered back to the Company.

HVAC Operations

The company performs HVAC service repairs and installs HVAC units for its customers. Revenue is recognized at the time of the install or service call. Sales are adjusted for any returns or allowances. If an install is performed over multiple days, it is accounted for using work in process (WIP) accounting in accordance with GAAP. If payment is not provided in advance or at the time of service or installation, the amount due is designated as an account receivable.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. 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 not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The most recent three tax years are open to potential IRS examination.

Income Per Share

Income Per Share

The basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted income per common share is computed similar to basic income 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.  

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is the result of two items: the impact of foreign currency translations related to the Company’s operations in Canada, and the unrealized gains (losses) from marketable securities classified as available-for-sale.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” by one year. As a result, the ASU is now effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU No. 2014-09 provides comprehensive guidance on the recognition of revenue from customers arising from the transfer of goods and services. The ASU also provides guidance on accounting for certain contract costs, and requires new disclosures. Early adoption is not permitted. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2018. The initial application of the standard is not expected to significantly impact the Company. 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). The ASU provides guidance related to the classifications of deferred income tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities that are not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting are classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2018. The initial application of the standard is not expected to significantly impact the Company.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." Although the ASU retains many of the current requirements for financial instruments, it significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; earlier adoption is permitted under certain criteria. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
