“The Company continued to deliver on its growth strategy, eclipsing Fiscal Year 2007 net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and acquiring Velocity West, a Texas-based Internet Service Provider (ISP) and wholesale managed modem solution provider. Financial highlights for the quarter include:”
-- Total Revenue for the three (3) months ended September 30, 2008 was $2,485,294, an increase of $1,003,408 or 67.7% from $1,481,886 for the same period in 2007. -- Net Income for the three (3) months ended September 30, 2008 was $392,060, an increase of $207,316 or 112.2% from $184,744 for the same period in 2007.
-- Total Revenue for the nine (9) months ended September 30, 2008 was $7,644,538, an increase of $3,193,938 or 71.8% from $4,450,600 for the same period in 2007.
-- EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) for the nine (9) months ended September 30, 2008 was $3,461,515, an increase of $1,748,708 or 102.1% from $1,712,807 for the same period in 2007.
-- Net Income for the nine (9) months ended September 30, 2008 was $1,092,939, an increase of $510,107 or 87.5% from $582,832 for the same period in 2007.
Regarding the Company's future outlook, Mr. Erhartic commented, "Strong companies make bold strides during economic downturns. We believe that good, but monetarily weakened, ISPs will be increasingly more receptive to being acquired by Sitestar in this market. Similarly, we think that our high profit margin dial-up customers may be less likely to switch to more expensive but lower margin broadband service offerings in an economy where households seek to curtail discretionary monthly expenses. Being in a healthy financial position amidst weakened market conditions, we are confident about the future of Sitestar."
based on earnings SYTE.OB is CHEAP but the balance sheet in the past raised concern although improved results has taken most of this concern off the table at this point

EBITDA was $21.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2008, compared to $5.9 million in the same period last year. The $15.6 million increase in EBITDA was due to ongoing operational improvements, the successful integration of strategic acquisitions, vessel upgrades and infrastructure investments.
Management Comments
Scott Bravener, President and CEO of Lower Lakes, stated, “Our second quarter results illustrate the underlying strength of our business. We achieved record EBITDA this quarter of $13.2 million, versus $3.0 million in the prior year quarter, fueled by increased freight rates, better vessel utilization and continued operating improvements. Demand for our services in our second quarter was strong in the Great Lakes region where we operate, and we employed all twelve vessels this quarter. For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, vessel margin per day (before SG&A) equaled $14,069 versus $6,772 for the same quarter last year, an increase of 107.8%. We believe these strong operating trends will continue, as we further improve the performance of our fleet.”
Outlook
Laurence S. Levy, Chairman and CEO of Rand, added, “Our results this quarter are indicative of the normalized earnings capability of our assets, as we continue to realize their full potential. We believe that our business remains well protected as a result of the diversity of the end markets and customers that we serve, our low cost operating position and long-term contractual nature of our revenues. Although end market demand has softened somewhat, we are 100% contractually committed for the balance of this sailing season and based on our existing contracts and our knowledge of customer demand, we expect that our vessels will be fully utilized for the 2009 sailing season. Year-to-date, we have generated EBITDA of $21.5 million, exceeding our internal expectations, and we believe that we will meet or exceed the high end of our previously stated EBITDA guidance of $18.0 million to $19.5 million. The fundamentals of our business remain solid, and we continue to extract operating efficiencies from our fleet.”
