ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

INTRODUCTION

Bluegate provides the nation's only Medical Grade Network® that facilitates physician and clinical integration between hospitals and physicians in a secure private environment.  As a leader in providing the healthcare industry outsourced Information Technology (IT) solutions and remote IT management services, Bluegate provides hospitals and physicians with a single source solution for all of their clinical integration and IT needs.  Additionally Bluegate provides IT and telecommunications consulting through its professional services organization.

In this Form 10-KSB, we refer to ourselves as "Bluegate", "We", "Us", “the Company”, and "Our."

Our executive offices are located at: Bluegate Corporation, 701 North Post Oak Road, Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77024, tel. voice: 713-686-1100, fax: 713-682-7402. Our Web site is www.bluegate.com.

Our growth is dependent on attaining profit from our operations and our raising capital through the sale of stock or debt.  There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any of our products at a profit.

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  Our independent auditors issued a going concern qualification in their report dated March 5, 2008, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our stock is traded on the OTCBB.  Our trading symbol is "BGAT."

CORPORATE HISTORY

In 1996, Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"). Two of the many features of HIPAA were a mandate that the healthcare industry move toward using electronic communication technology to streamline and reduce the cost of healthcare, and a requirement that healthcare providers treat virtually all healthcare information as confidential, especially when electronically transmitted.

In 2001, Mr. Manfred Sternberg acquired effective control of the company and during 2002 and 2003 under his leadership, the company commenced development and completion of the necessary systems to offer integrated HIPAA compliant Medical Grade Network® to the health care community to provide electronic systems required by increasing U.S. public policy mandates to accelerate the movement to secure electronic health records.

In 2003, a minority amount of our revenue was related to our HIPAA business.  In 2004, a majority of our revenue was related to our HIPAA business. In 2005, all of our revenues were related to our health care service model.

In 2004, to accelerate our movement into the electronic health record business, we sold our Internet Service Provider ("ISP") customer base effective June 21, 2004 to concentrate on our health care IT solutions model and its Medical Grade Network®.

In 2004, we contracted with the largest healthcare system in Texas to provide physicians with Internet bandwidth and managed security services using our Medical Grade Network®.

In March 2005 we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain ongoing contractual obligations of TEKMedia Communications, Inc., a company that provided traditional IT consulting services, in exchange for 132,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $116,160.

In September 2005 we acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain ongoing contractual obligations of Trilliant Corporation, a company that provides assessment, design, vendor selection, procurement and project management for large technology initiatives, particularly in the healthcare arena. The acquisition strengthened Bluegate as a competitor in the technology management industry. The purchase price consisted of $161,033 cash and 258,308 shares of Bluegate's common stock valued at $180,816. The asset sale and purchase agreement provided for additional consideration up to 827,160 common shares depending on the acquired business’ revenue through September 2007 and royalty payments based on sales through September 2007 of certain software acquired. In accordance with the asset sale and purchase agreement, 407,407 shares of Bluegate’s common stock valued at $301,481 was issued in 2006 as additional consideration based upon the acquired business’ revenue calculation after the first year and 419,753 shares of Bluegate’s common stock valued at $33,580 was issued in 2007 as additional consideration based upon the acquired business’ revenue calculation after the second year.

Effective June 28, 2007, we sold 8 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $100,000 in cash to SAI Corporation, a corporation controlled by Stephen Sperco who is our CEO and a Director. We also granted to SAI Corporation warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share expiring in June 2012.  On the same day we sold 40 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $500,000 in cash to Stephen Sperco.  We also granted to Mr. Sperco warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share expiring in June 2012.  Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into 25,000 shares of common stock. Each share of Preferred Stock has 15 times the number of votes its conversion-equivalent number of shares of common stock, or 375,000 votes per share of Preferred Stock.  The 48 shares of Preferred Stock will have an aggregate of 18 million votes.  The Preferred Stock votes along with the common stock on all matters requiring a vote of shareholders and the Preferred Stock is not redeemable by us.

4


As a result of his purchase of Series C Preferred Stock described above, and his previously acquired stock and warrants, and most recent conversion of certain debt to equity and additional warrants received in 2008, Mr. Sperco beneficially owns 44% of our common stock without taking into account the super voting power of the Preferred stock, and 62% when taking into account the super voting power of the Preferred Stock. One of the conditions of Mr. Sperco’s purchase of the Preferred Stock was that both he and Dale Geary be appointed as Directors.  Continuing as Directors are Manfred Sternberg, and William Koehler.  We have increased the size of our Board of Directors to consist of five Directors, one of which positions is now vacant.


OUR BUSINESS
Bluegate provides the nation's only Medical Grade Network® that facilitates physician and clinical integration between hospitals and physicians in a secure private environment.  As a leader in providing the healthcare industry outsourced Information Technology (IT) solutions and remote IT management services, Bluegate provides hospitals and physicians with a single source solution for all of their clinical integration and IT needs.  Additionally Bluegate provides IT and telecommunications consulting through its professional services organization.

CONSULTING PRACTICE
Healthcare institutions have very unique requirements not found in a typical commercial environment.  Our Healthcare consulting practice works with medical facilities and systems on evaluation, procurement and implementation of healthcare related voice, data, video, infrastructure and applications for the healthcare environment with a particular emphasis on the deployment of Electronic Medical Record applications. Our IT/Telecommunications consulting practice works in various industry verticals providing evaluation, procurement and implementation of IT/Telecommunications solutions for our clients.  Our Applications consulting practice provides specific applications development, enhancement, coding and integration work for various industry verticals.

OUTSOURCING
Our outsourcing offering includes help desk support and break-fix operations as well as acquisition and special financing of equipment and services.  It also can include provisions for technology refresh, change management, and level of service agreements.  Our target market for such services consists of private-practice physicians whose office staffs typically lack the in-house technical expertise to support mission-critical computer systems and associated hardware.  In many cases, these private-practice physicians are affiliated with our larger medical facility clients, creating a logical foundation for Bluegate to establish and maintain long-term business relationships.

SYSTEMS INTEGRATION AND MANAGED SECURITY SOLUTIONS
Our systems integration and managed security group enables secure, HIPAA-compliant data communication between hospitals, medical facilities and physician practices from all locations via the services of our Bluegate Medical Grade Network® - ultimately enhancing patient care. We also provide affordable access to compatible medical-focused content and applications over a secure IT infrastructure to improve practice efficiency and service. We extend IT Best Practices to the edge of the healthcare network ensuring every access point for the physician and healthcare location is as secure as the hospital itself.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY IN HEALTHCARE
Electronic data communication networks have vast potential for enhancing the quality of patient care, mitigating the soaring costs of healthcare, and protecting patient privacy.  To harness this potential, the current administration, Congress, and administrative agencies are advocating that all physicians get connected to the NHIN, the proposed national health information system.  A NHIN is expected to enable physicians to write electronic prescriptions (eRx) and securely share patient electronic health records (EHR), including medical images, with other healthcare providers at hospitals, clinics, and individual physician offices.

In order to access and use the NHIN, individual physicians must have the appropriate IT environment at their offices, and the hospitals where they admit patients.  Further, the hospitals credentialed physicians must be on a common HIPAA compliant network.  Once the hospital has installed the necessary secure electronic connectivity behind their firewall, the "last mile" of connectivity, the figurative distance from the telecommunication provider's switch to an end user (i.e. the physician), still presents a major challenge.  In addition to being HIPAA-compliant, the networks also need to be interoperable, which requires assessing and augmenting physicians' existing IT equipment and resources.  Adequate training and technical support is necessary to ensure the highest possible network availability and security and the ability to move and manage information back and forth.

The Administrative Simplification provisions of Title II of HIPAA require the United States Department of Health and Human Services to establish national standards for electronic healthcare transactions and national identifiers for providers, health plans, and employers. It also addresses the security and privacy of health data.  Adopting these standards will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's healthcare system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange in healthcare.  As the result of increasing pressure for healthcare providers to adopt electronic health records and the favorable healthcare IT environment created by the Stark Law exceptions there is rapidly increasing demand for Bluegate’s networks, technologies, remote management, and professional IT services.

BLUEGATE STRATEGY
Healthcare
Our current short term strategies are to: (1) increase our market penetration and dominance of the Houston hospital, centralized healthcare, and physician markets; (2) increase our market penetration of the Chicago hospital, centralized healthcare, and physician markets; (3) commence deployment of services in other Texas cities; and, (4) commence deployment of services in other cities in the U.S.  Our long term strategy is fivefold: (1) fill as much of the national HIPAA-compliant secured communications void that exists between the physician and the hospital as we can; (2)  sell our services to the physicians that join our  Medical Grade Network®, enabling them to choose Bluegate as their electronic health solutions firm and as the IT outsource firm of choice for all of their technology needs; (3) to be "THE" IT solutions resource to medical institutions,  healthcare facilities, regional health information organizations (RHIOs), and centralized healthcare organizations (HCOs) for all their IT needs; (4) partner with a wide array of third party providers of software, managed systems, pharmacy benefits, and many other applications that must run on electronic networks and be installed in hospitals, HCOs and medical practices; and (5) become the premier “boutique” consulting practice supporting the deployment of Electronic Medical Record systems and services.

Professional Services
In addition to the Professional Services initiatives in Healthcare, Bluegate intends to continue to grow in the following three areas through its Trilliant Technology Group organization:  (1) Further establish its reputation as one of the top Telecommunications consulting organizations in the U.S.; (2) expand its IT Infrastructure consulting base; and (3) increase the scope and depth of its Applications Development practice.

COMPETITION
We are not aware of any completely direct competitors at this time. However, competition may include vendors of HIPAA software and Internet Protocol ("IP") networks whose security may or may not comply with the terms of the HIPAA confidentiality compliance requirements.

The IT services market is extremely competitive, highly fragmented and has grown dramatically in recent years. The market is characterized by the absence of significant barriers to entry and rapidly changing applications and technology.  Other competitors may be:
-  
Access and content providers, such as AOL, Microsoft, EarthLink and Time Warner;
-  
Professional Service organizations, such as IBM, CSC, Perot Systems, and EDS;
-  
Regional, national and international telecommunications companies, such as AT&T, Verizon, Qwest, and Sprint;
-  
On-line services offered by incumbent cable providers such as Comcast and Cox;
-  
DSL providers such as the RBOC’s and CLEC’s.

Most of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we have, and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete.

OUR BUSINESS - CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS

Major Customers.  During 2007, our top five customers accounted for 37% of our service revenue and no single customer accounted for more than 13% of service revenue.

Major Vendors. During 2007, our top five vendors accounted for 66% of our purchases and no single vendor accounted for more than 18% of purchases.

EMPLOYEES

We currently have 37 employees of whom 34 are full time employees.

ITEM 6.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT

This Management's Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto set forth herein.

Certain statements contained in this report, including, without limitation, statements containing the words, "likely," "forecast," "project," "believe," "anticipate," "expect," and other words of similar meaning, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any such factors or to announce publicly the results of any revision of the forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein to reflect future events or developments. In addition to the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-KSB, the following forward-looking factors could cause our future results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements: competition, capital resources, credit resources, funding, government compliance and market acceptance of our products and services.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable.  These estimates and assumptions provide a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and these differences may be material.

We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION.  Revenue, which includes licensing revenue, is recognized based upon contractually determined monthly service charges to individual customers. Some services are billed in advance and, accordingly, revenues are deferred until the period in which the services are provided.  At December 31, 2007, total deferred service revenue was $153,579.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.  Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123") established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. In January 2006, Bluegate implemented SFAS No. 123R, and accordingly, Bluegate accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.

GOING CONCERN.
We remain dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of our operations.  Our independent auditors issued a going concern qualification in their report dated March 5, 2008, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we have been unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support our operations and has been dependent on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors.  We experienced negative financial results as follows:


   
2007
 
2006
Net loss attributable to common shareholders
$
(5,726,080)
$
(9,191,559)
Negative cash flow from operations
 
(1,923,684)
 
(1,039,364)
Negative working capital
 
(1,134,965)
 
(1,165,572)
Stockholders’ deficit
 
(1,064,665)
 
(1,061,238)


These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements contained herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required,  and ultimately to attain profitable operations.  However, there is no assurance that profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.

We have supported current operations by: (1) raising additional operating cash through the private sale of our preferred and common stock, (2) selling convertible debt and common stock to certain key stockholders and (3) issuing stock and options as compensation to certain employees and vendors in lieu of cash payments.

10


These steps have provided us with the cash flows to continue our business plan, but have not resulted in significant improvement in our financial position. We are considering alternatives to address our cash flow situation that include: (1) raising capital through additional sale of our common stock and/or debt Securities and (2) reducing cash operating expenses to levels that are in line with current revenues.

These alternatives could result in substantial dilution of existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that our current financial position can be improved, that we can raise additional working capital or that we can achieve positive cash flows from operations. Our long-term viability as a going concern is dependent upon the following:

-  
Our ability to locate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and near-term future requirements.

-  
Our ability to achieve profitability and ultimately generate sufficient cash flow from operations to sustain our continuing operations.

Our operations are located in Houston, Texas. Bluegate provides the nation's only Medical Grade Network® that facilitates physician and clinical integration between hospitals and physicians in a secure private environment.  As a leader in providing the healthcare industry outsourced Information Technology (IT) solutions and remote IT management services, Bluegate provides hospitals and physicians with a single source solution for all of their clinical integration and IT needs.  Additionally Bluegate provides IT and telecommunications consulting through its professional services organization.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006

During the year ended December 31, 2007, our service revenue was $5,835,075 compared to $3,707,908 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  This represents an increase of $2,127,167 and is primarily attributable to our professional service business and our efforts to market our Medical Grade Network® business.

Our cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3,140,590 compared to $1,742,420 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The increases in cost of services of $1,398,170 is due to the increase in the costs associated with the increase in our professional service business and interconnect fees and costs associated with the expansion of our Medical Grade Network® services.

Our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $2,694,485 compared to $1,965,488 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  Our gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 46% in 2007 from 53% in 2006 due to an increase in the cost of products and services incurred during 2007.

We incurred selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $1,765,175 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $1,762,379 for the year December 31, 2006.  The increase in SG&A of $2,796 was due primarily to the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts partially offset by the implementation of our cost reduction measures beginning in the third quarter of 2007.

We incurred a decrease in compensation expense of $2,074,628 from $8,050,860 in 2006 to $5,976,232 in 2007. The decrease was due primarily to the implementation of our cost reduction measures beginning in the third quarter of 2007.

 
For the year ended December 31, 2007 there was no goodwill impairment or loss on debt extinguishment compared to a goodwill impairment of $113,021 and loss on debt extinguishment of $472,952 in 2006.
 

 
Interest expense decreased $697,250 in 2007 from $771,916 in 2006 to $74,666 in 2007 as a result of issuing common stock warrants for the extension of repayments of the convertible notes payable in 2006.

 
We incurred a net loss of $5,126,080 for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to a net loss of $9,191,559 for the year ended December 31, 2006, or an overall decrease of $4,065,479. The decrease is primarily attributable to the following:
 

(1)           The increases in cost of services of $1,398,170 is due to the increase in the costs associated with the increase in our professional service business and interconnect fees and costs associated with the expansion of our Medical Grade Network® services.

(2)           The increase in SG&A of $2,796 is was due primarily to the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts partially offset by the implementation of our cost reduction measures beginning in the third quarter of 2007.

(3)           We incurred a decrease in compensation expense of $2,074,628 due primarily to the implementation of our cost reduction measures beginning in the third quarter of 2007.

 
(4)           For the year ended December 31, 2007 there were no goodwill impairment or loss on debt extinguishment compared to a goodwill impairment of $113,021 and loss on debt extinguishment of $472,952 in 2006.
 

 
(5)           Interest expense decreased $697,250 in 2007 from $771,916 in 2006 to $74,666 in 2007 as a result of issuing common stock warrants for the extension of repayments of the convertible notes payable in 2006.
 

11


 
(6)           The net loss attributable to common shareholders was $5,726,080 for the year ended December 31, 2007 due to a deemed dividend of $600,000 on preferred shares and common stock warrants issued during the second quarter of 2007.
 

FORECAST FOR OUR CUSTOMER BASE

The increased reliance on IT and Telecommunications to manage costs and deploy enhanced business solutions has created an ideal business environment for Bluegate in 2007 and beyond.  This trend is particularly evident in Healthcare where the roll-out of Electronic Medical Records and cost control initiatives are National priorities.

Medical Grade Network®
During 2006 we commenced our national marketing efforts to hospital systems and were successful in securing two initial projects for hospitals outside of Texas. We expect additional successes in the near future and, as a result, we believe that our revenue growth will increase in 2008.

At December 31, 2007, we had approximately 1,100 Medical Grade Network® customers which we forecast will decrease through 2008. In October 2007, one of the healthcare systems that we contracted with to provide managed security services to their physicians, notified their physicians that effective January 1, 2008 they would no longer subsidize those costs. Through a joint effort with that healthcare system, we are in the process of contacting those physicians and offering uninterrupted service for their practices. We anticipate the effects of this effort will not be finalized until the second quarter of 2008.

Professional Services
Our Professional Services organization has been growing in both Healthcare and other industry verticals.  We have put particular focus on the delivery of Implementation Project Management service.
 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 have been funded by the issuance of preferred and common stock and options for cash in private transactions and loans from related parties. Bluegate has continued to take steps to reduce its monthly operating expenses relating to its core business and has expanded its efforts in creating a market for its Professional Services organization.

As of December 31, 2007, our cash on hand was $43,703; total current assets were $467,643, total current liabilities were $1,602,608 and total stockholders’ deficit was $1,064,665. Until the company achieves a net positive cash flow from operations, three of the company’s executive officers agreed not to cash their payroll or expense reimbursement checks issued to them since July 1, 2007. As of December 31, 2007 approximately $313,000 of payroll and expense reimbursement checks have not been cashed and is included under the caption accrued liabilities to related parties totaling $344,598 on the balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2008 the three executives reduced their annual base salaries to $100,000 each and February 1, 2008, the three executives converted a combined total of $300,000 of their related debt into equity.

We intend to use debt to cover the anticipated negative cash flow into the second quarter of 2008, at which time we project to be operating in a positive cash flow mode.  We are seeking additional capital to fund potential costs associated with expansion and/or acquisitions. We believe that future funding may be obtained from public or private offerings of equity securities, debt or convertible debt securities or other sources. Stockholders should assume that any additional funding will likely be dilutive.

Our ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to execute and deliver high quality, reliable connectivity services, expand participation in our Medical Grade Network® and grow our Professional Service organization.

Our growth is dependent on attaining profit from our operations and our raising additional capital either through the sale of stock or borrowing.  There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any of our products at a profit.

Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the following:
-  
The cost of operating delivering the Medical Grade Network® services
-  
The cost of sales and marketing
-  
The rate at which we expand our operations
-  
Attractive acquisition opportunities
-  
The response of competitors
-  
Capital expenditures

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

In February 2005 we entered into an employment agreement with Manfred Sternberg (the 2005 Sternberg Agreement) for a period of two years at an annual salary of $180,000 per year.  The 2005 Sternberg Agreement replaced the previous agreement with Mr. Sternberg.  The 2005 Sternberg agreement calls for the Company to provide health, dental, vision and any other benefits that the Company may provide to its employees, a monthly automobile allowance of $750 (which was increased to $1,500 during 2006) and reimbursement for up to $1,000 per month in discretionary business related expenses. In addition, the 2005 Sternberg agreement provides for four (4) weeks of vacation per year.  Under the 2005 Sternberg Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Sternberg the option to purchase the 275,000 shares of our common stock that had vested under his previous agreement at a revised exercise price of $2.00 per share.  We also agreed to issue an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  The option vests as follows: 50,000 shares on the date of grant, and 50,000 shares every month thereafter until fully vested.  The option expires on January 31, 2010.

EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS

While we have been successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, we believe that our future success will depend in part on our continued ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel.  We pay wages and salaries that we believe are competitive.  We also believe that equity ownership is an important factor in our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel.  In 2002, we adopted the 2002 Stock and Stock Option Plan (the "2002 Plan").  The purpose of the 2002 Plan is to further our interests, our subsidiaries and our stockholders by providing incentives in the form of stock options to key employees, consultants, directors and others who contribute materially to our success and profitability.  The grants recognize and reward outstanding individual performances and contributions and will give such persons a proprietary interest in us, thus enhancing their personal interest in our continued success and progress.  The 2002 Plan also assists us and our subsidiaries in attracting and retaining key employees and Directors.  The 2002 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has the exclusive power to select the participants in the 2002 Plan, to establish the terms of the stock and options granted to each participant, provided that all options granted shall be granted at an exercise price equal to at least 85% of the fair market value of the common stock covered by the option on the grant date and to make all determinations necessary or advisable under the 2002 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted or optioned and sold under the 2002 Plan is 450,000 shares. As of December 31, 2007, 450,000 shares of common stock have been granted pursuant to the 2002 Plan and the 2002 Plan is no longer active.

In 2005 we adopted the 2005 Stock and Stock Option Plan (the "2005 Plan").  The purpose of the 2005 Plan is to further our interests, our subsidiaries and our stockholders by providing incentives in the form of stock options to key employees, consultants, directors and others who contribute materially to our success and profitability.  The grants recognize and reward outstanding individual performances and contributions and will give such persons a proprietary interest in us, thus enhancing their personal interest in our continued success and progress.  The 2005 Plan also assists us and our subsidiaries in attracting and retaining key employees and Directors.  The 2005 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has the exclusive power to select the participants in the 2005 Plan, to establish the terms of the stock and options granted to each participant, provided that all options granted shall be granted at an exercise price equal to at least 85% of the fair market value of the common stock covered by the option on the grant date and to make all determinations necessary or advisable under the 2005 Plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted or optioned and sold under the Plan is 3,000,000 shares. As of December 31, 2007, 1,016,021 shares of common stock have been granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company engaged in equity transactions as follows:

Issuance of preferred stock, common stock, warrants and options:

(1) In January 2007, we issued 150,000 shares of common stock to MS for compensation. The common stock had a market value of $142,500 based on the closing price of the stock on the date of grant. We expensed $142,500 in quarter ending March 31, 2007 related to this transaction.

(2) In February 2007, we issued to SS 200,000 shares of common stock, warrants for 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for $100,000 in connection with a private placement of our securities. The relative fair value of the stock and warrants in this transaction was $27,133 and $72,868, respectively. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in the attached financial statements, footnote 13 - subsequent events, item (7), the exercise prices of these 300,000 warrants were reduced to $0.0333334.

(3) In March 2007, we issued to SAIC 200,000 shares of common stock, warrants for 200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for $100,000 in connection with a private placement of our securities.

In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in the attached financial statements, footnote 13 - subsequent events, item (7), the exercise prices of these 300,000 warrants were reduced to $0.0333334.

(4) In June 2007 the board of directors approved the issuance of 48 shares of Series C voting convertible non-redeemable preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and a liquidation value of $12,500 per share. Each share of Series C convertible preferred stock may be converted, at the option of the shareholder, into 25,000 shares of common stock or a total of 1,200,000 shares of common stock. Each share of preferred stock has 15 times the number of votes its conversion-equivalent number of shares of common stock, or 375,000 votes per share of preferred stock. The 48 shares of preferred stock will have an aggregate of 18 million votes. Effective June 28, 2007, we sold 8 shares of Series C preferred stock for $100,000 in cash SAIC. We also granted to SAIC warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share expiring in June 2012. On the same day we sold 40 shares of Series C preferred stock for $500,000 in cash to SS. We also granted to SS warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share expiring in June 2012. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in (11) below, certain adjustment provisions in these warrant agreements were triggered and pursuant to those provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.17 per share was reduced to $0.0333334 per share.

(5) In July 2007, we issued to MS 400,000 shares of common stock and warrants for 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share for $200,000 in connection with a private sale of our securities. The fair value of the warrants was $369,203 on the date of issuance. Because the warrants were granted to a related party and the exercise price on the grant date was below the market price of our stock, we expensed $369,203 in July 2007 related to this transaction. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in (11) below, certain adjustment provisions in this warrant agreement was triggered and pursuant to those provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.17 per share was reduced to $0.0333334 per share.

(6) In July 2007, we issued to WK 100,000 shares of common stock and warrants for 250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share for $50,000 in connection with a private sale of our securities. The fair value of the warrants was $92,301 on the date of issuance. Because the warrants were granted to a related party and the exercise price on the grant date was below the market price of our stock, we expensed $92,301 in July 2007 related to this transaction. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in (11) below, certain adjustment provisions in this warrant agreement was triggered and pursuant to those  provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of our common stock at $0.17 per share was reduced to $0.0333334 per share.

(7) Certain warrants issued in the transactions recorded in the period from July 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007 were subject to a registration rights agreement which required Bluegate to register the underlying shares by June 30, 2007 or pay liquidated damages of 1.5% of the purchase price of the investment each month the shares were not registered. In August 2007, we paid liquidated damages of $64,530 by issuing 145,112 restricted shares of common stock covering the period from July 1, 2006 through August 31, 2007. Among those investors were four affiliates who received the following amounts of stock as liquidated damages: 13,500 shares to SAIC; 6,750 shares to SS; 7,493 shares to MS; 6,750 shares to WK. The liquidated damages of $64,530 were recorded as compensation expense.

(8) Effective September 30, 2007, we recorded the issuance of 419,753 shares of common stock valued at $33,580 to Trilliant Corporation in accordance with the asset sale and purchase agreement dated September 15, 2005, pertaining to the acquired business’ revenue after the second year. Of the 419,753 shares issued, WK received 89,731 shares.

(9) In December 2007, 8,601,400 previously issued common stock options to certain employees with exercise prices ranging from $0.39 to $6.00 were reduced to $0.34. As a result of this transaction, the following had their options reduced to $0.34: SS – 1,200,000; MS – 3,375,000; WK – 1,590,000; and Charles Leibold (CFO) – 600,000. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in the attached financial statements, footnote 13 - subsequent events, item (7), the exercise price of SS 1,200,000 options was reduced to $0.0333334.

(10) Effective December 31, 2007 we issued an option to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share to each of the following - MS, WK, SS, Dale Geary (director) and Charles Leibold (CFO). Each option had a market value of $15,240 on the date of grant, vested immediately and expires in December 2012. We expensed $15,240 in the quarter ending December 31, 2007 related to each option. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in the attached financial statements, footnote 13 - subsequent events, item (7), the exercise price of SS 100,000 options was reduced to $0.0333334.

 
(11) Subsequent event: On February 14, 2008, we finalized and consummated a transaction with a deemed effective date of February 1, 2008 whereby we issued 9,150,000 shares of stock for the conversion of related party debts of directors totaling $305,000 and we issued 300,000 shares of stock to two managers totaling $10,000 cash. The conversion and purchase price per share was $0.0333334. The excess of the fair value of the stock over the debt converted and shares purchased totaled $535,500 and was recorded as compensation expense. The following individuals or related entities converted debt and received the following shares: (i) Stephen Sperco, Director and CEO, received 3,000,000 shares; (ii) SAI Corporation, an entity controlled by Stephen Sperco, received 1,500,000 shares; (iii) Manfred Sternberg, Director and Chief Strategy Officer, received 2,400,000 shares; (iv) William Koehler, Director and President, received 2,100,000 shares; and, (v) Dale Geary, Director, received, 150,000 shares. The following members of management purchased the following shares: Charles Leibold, CFO, purchase 150,000 shares; and, Larry Walker, President of Trilliant Technology Group, Inc., our 100% owned subsidiary, purchased 150,000 shares.
 
 
As a result of the February 14, 2008 transaction: (1) certain adjustment provisions in a previous convertible note agreements and warrant agreements issued in September 2005 and subsequent, were triggered and pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 1,534,800 shares of our common stock at $0.17 per share was reduced to $0.0333334 per share; and, (2) certain adjustment provisions in previous warrant agreements issued in June and July 2007, were triggered and pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of previously issued warrants to purchase 7,500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.17 per share was reduced to $0.0333334 per share.
 

(12) Subsequent event: During 2007 the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with SAI Corporation (“SAIC”), a corporation controlled by our CEO, Stephen Sperco, to borrow up to $500,000 and, as of December 31, 2007 the Company had borrowed $500,000 from SAIC. On February 28, 2008, the line of credit agreement was amended to increase the borrowing to $700,000 and on February 28, 2008, Bluegate borrowed the additional $200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes.

22

As condition to and as additional consideration for SAIC’s to lend the funds to the Company, the Company (i)granted SAIC a security interest in its assets as more specifically detailed in the Promissory Note and Security Agreement, and increased the interest rate from 12% to 15% per annum; (ii) reduced the exercise price on 2,200,000 existing warrants and options issued to SAIC and Stephen Sperco, and their assigns, from the current per share exercise prices of $0.17, $0.34, $0.75 and $1.00 to $0.0333334 per share; and (iii) granted 1,000,000 new warrants to SAIC with an exercise price of $0.0333334 per share that expire February 28, 2013. The fair value of the 1,000,000 warrants was $109,028 on the date of issuance. Because the warrants were granted to a related party and the exercise price on the grant date was below the market price of our stock, we expensed $109,028 in February 2008 related to this transaction.

The company currently has outstanding: (i) 24,783,565 shares of common stock; (ii) 19,728,220 warrants; (iii) 11,219,864 options; and, (iv) preferred stock that are convertible into 1,200,000 shares of common stock, resulting in on a fully diluted basis, 56,931,649 shares of common stock. However, the company currently has only 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized by our Articles of Incorporation. If all of the holders of warrants, options, convertible debt and preferred stock requested to exercise or convert all of the warrants, options, convertible debt and preferred stock, we would be unable to accommodate 6,931,649 shares of common stock in those requests. The company could have liability in the future if an option holder, warrant holder, preferred stock holder or holder of convertible debt desires to exercise or convert but cannot because we do not have enough unissued common stock available for issuance. However, the following individuals or entities have waived their reservation of common stock underlying options and warrants until such time that the board of directors deems the waiver is not necessary as follows: Stephen Sperco and related entity (3,000,000 shares); Manfred Sternberg and related entities (2,000,000 shares); and William Koehler (2,000,000 shares).

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

The Company has four members of the Board of Directors. They are Manfred Sternberg, Stephen Sperco, William Koehler and Dale Geary. Manfred Sternberg is the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer, Stephen Sperco is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and William Koehler is the Company’s President.

In March 2005, our Board adopted our Audit Committee Charter (the "Charter") which established our Audit Committee.

In August 2007, our Board adopted our Compensation Committee with Dale Geary serving as its sole member.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To           The Board of Directors
Bluegate Corporation
Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bluegate Corporation, (“Bluegate”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the two years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Bluegate’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Bluegate as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Bluegate will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Bluegate has negative working capital and suffered recurring losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.           ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Bluegate Corporation (the “Company") is a Nevada Corporation that provides the nation's only Medical Grade Network® that facilitates physician and clinical integration between hospitals and physicians in a secure private environment.  As a leader in providing the healthcare industry outsourced Information Technology (IT) solutions and remote IT management services, Bluegate provides hospitals and physicians with a single source solution for all of their clinical integration and IT needs.  Additionally Bluegate provides IT and telecommunications consulting through its professional services organization.

The  Company  was  originally  incorporated  as  Solis Communications, Inc. on  July  23,  2001  and  adopted  a  name  change  to  Crescent Communications Inc. upon completion  of  a reverse acquisition of Berens Industries,  Inc. In 2004, we changed our name to Bluegate Corporation.

Following is a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies:

SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES

The preparation  of consolidated  financial statements in conformity with accounting  principles  generally  accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from estimates making it reasonably possible that a change in the estimates could occur in the near term.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiary, Trilliant Technology Group, Inc., after elimination of all significant inter-company accounts and transactions.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid short-term investments with an original  maturity  of  three  months  or  less  when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

Accounts receivable are amounts due on sales, are unsecured and are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus accounts receivable do not bear interest although a finance charge may be applied to such receivables that are more than thirty days past due. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectibility based on past credit history with clients. Provisions for losses on accounts receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are not secured. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in footnote 13 – subsequent events, item (7), as condition to and as additional consideration for SAI Corporation’s (“SAIC”) agreement to lend funds to the Company, the Company granted SAIC a security interest in its assets as more specifically detailed in the Promissory Note and Security Agreement.

INVENTORY

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is determined by using the actual amount paid to acquire the items.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property  and  equipment  is  recorded  at  cost  and  depreciated  on  the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of  depreciable  property  as  follows:
 
Furniture and equipment
5-7 years
Telecommunications networks
5 years
Computer equipment
3 years

Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.  The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
__________

INTANGIBLES

Intangibles are recorded at cost and amortized on the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of three years. Goodwill is reviewed annually and based upon an evaluation performed by a third party; an impairment write-down of goodwill totaling $113,021 was recorded at December 31, 2006.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In  the  event  facts  and  circumstances  indicate the carrying value of a long-lived asset,  including  associated  intangibles, may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability is performed by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash  flows associated with the asset to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow is required.

INCOME TAXES

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this  method,  deferred  income  taxes  are  recorded  to  reflect  the tax consequences on future years of temporary differences between the tax basis of  assets  and  liabilities  and  their financial amounts at year-end. The Company provides a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to their net realizable value.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. In January 2006, Bluegate implemented SFAS No. 123R, and accordingly, Bluegate accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.

Bluegate accounts for share based payments to non-employees in accordance with EITF 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.

EMBEDDED CONVERSION FEATURES

Bluegate evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt and convertible preferred stock under paragraph 12 of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 to determine whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.  If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19, the instrument is evaluated under EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Revenue, which includes licensing revenue, is recognized based upon contractually determined monthly service charges to individual customers. Services are billed in advance and, accordingly, revenues are deferred until the period in which the services are provided. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, deferred service revenue was $153,579 and $1,189,236, respectively.

LOSS PER SHARE

Basic  and  diluted  net  loss  per  share  is computed on the basis of the weighted  average  number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive options that were outstanding during 2007 and 2006  were  not considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because  the  Company's  net  loss  rendered  their  impact  anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted losses per share were identical for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

We have reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Bluegate does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on Bluegate’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

2.           GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

During 2007 and 2006, the Company was unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support its operations and has been dependent on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors.  The Company experienced negative financial results as follows:


   
2007
   
2006
 
Net loss attributable to common shareholders
  $ (5,726,080 )   $ (9,191,559 )
Negative cash flow from operations
    (1,923,684 )     (1,039,364 )
Negative working capital
    (1,134,965 )     (1,165,572 )
Stockholders’ deficit
    (1,064,665 )     (1,061,238 )
                 

These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements contained herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required,  and ultimately to attain profitable operations.  However, there is no assurance that profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.

We have supported current operations by: (1) raising additional operating cash through the private sale of our preferred and common stock, (2) selling convertible debt and common stock to certain key stockholders and (3) issuing stock and options as compensation to certain employees and vendors in lieu of cash payments.

These steps have provided us with the cash flows to continue our business plan, but have not resulted in significant improvement in our financial position. We are considering alternatives to address our cash flow situation that include:
·  
Raising capital through additional sale of our common stock and/or debt Securities
·  
Reducing cash operating expenses to levels that are in line with current revenues.

These alternatives could result in substantial dilution of existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that our current financial position can be improved, that we can raise additional working capital or that we can achieve positive cash flows from operations. Our long-term viability as a going concern is dependent upon the following:

·  
Our ability to locate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and near-term future requirements.
·  
Our ability to achieve profitability and ultimately generate sufficient cash flow from operations to sustain our continuing operations.

3.           ACQUISITION OF TRILLIANT CORPORATION ASSETS

On September 15, 2005, Bluegate acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain ongoing contractual obligations of Trilliant Corporation, a company that provides assessment, design, vendor selection, procurement and project management for large technology initiatives, particularly in the healthcare arena.

Effective September 30, 2006, in accordance with the asset sale and purchase agreement, 407,407 shares of Bluegate’s common stock valued at $301,481 was issued as additional consideration based upon the acquired business’ revenue calculation after the first year. According to EITF 95-8, “Accounting for Contingent Consideration Paid to the Shareholders of an Acquired Enterprise in a Purchase Business Combination,” whether the contingent shares are accounted for as an adjustment to the purchase price or as compensation for services depends on the agreement.  Because the agreement required certain shareholders to remain employees for the term of the earnout, all shares associated with those employees were recorded as compensation expense.  Shares issued to non-employees were accounted for as an adjustment to the purchase price.  As a result, $29,819 was allocated to goodwill and $271,662 was recorded as an expense.

A third party performed a “Goodwill and Other Intangible Asset” assessment and evaluation as of December 31, 2006, and as a result, an impairment write-down of goodwill totaling $113,021 was recorded at December 31, 2006.

Effective September 30, 2007, we recorded the issuance of 419,753 shares of common stock valued at $33,580 to Trilliant Corporation in accordance with the asset sale and purchase agreement referred to above, pertaining to the acquired business’ revenue after the second year. As a result of this transaction, $33,580 was recorded as an expense.

During 2007, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with SAI Corporation ("SAIC"), a corporation controlled by our CEO, Stephen Sperco, to borrow up to $500,000. The amount of principal borrowings during 2007 from MS, WK and SAIC was $477,074, $134,353 and $500,000, respectively. The amount of principal payments during 2007 to MS, WK and SAIC was $481,169, $139,694 and -0-, respectively. As of February 8, 2008 the Company had an outstanding balance payable of $76,169, $36,569 and $500,000 to MS, WK and SAIC, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred interest expense on the above related party debt of $34,335. During 2007, the interest rates on the underlying credit cards used for business ranged from 7.35% to 29.99% and 12% on note payable to SAIC.
   
  
 
  
On February 28, 2008, the line of credit agreement with SAIC was amended to increase the borrowing to $700,000 and on February 28, 2008, Bluegate borrowed the additional $200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes. As condition to and as additional consideration for SAIC’s agreement to lend the funds to the Company, the Company granted SAIC a security interest in its assets as more specifically detailed in the Promissory Note and Security Agreement, and increased the interest rate from 12% to 15% per annum.

At December 31, 2007, for federal income tax and alternative minimum tax reporting purposes, the Company has $5,823,000 in unused net operating losses available for carryforward to future years which will expire in various years through 2027. The majority of the unused net operating loss carryforward is limited to an annual amount of approximately $270,000 due to the change in control on June 28, 2007 (see below footnote 9 - Series C Preferred Stock).

9.           STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

During 2001, Bluegate issued 110 shares of Series A voting convertible non-redeemable preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and a liquidation value of $5,000 per share. In February 2006, the preferred stock was converted into 1,418,681 common shares, leaving no shares outstanding.

SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

During 2001, Bluegate authorized 100 shares of Series B convertible non-redeemable preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and a liquidation value of $200 per share. On October 11, 2002, Bluegate issued 23 shares of such stock to retire certain liabilities  totaling  $72,768  and to obtain indemnification from certain contingencies  assumed  in  the  reverse  acquisition  of  Berens Industries, Inc. All Series B Preferred Stock was converted to common stock in 2003, leaving no shares outstanding.

SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK

In June 2007 Bluegate's board of directors approved the issuance of 48 shares of Series C voting convertible non-redeemable preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share and a liquidation value of $12,500 per share. Each share of Series C convertible preferred stock may be converted, at the option of the shareholder, into 25,000 shares of common stock or a total of 1,200,000 shares of common stock. Each share of preferred stock has 15 times the number of votes its conversion-equivalent number of shares of common stock, or 375,000 votes per share of preferred stock. The 48 shares of preferred stock will have an aggregate of 18 million votes.

Effective June 28, 2007, we sold 8 shares of Series C preferred stock for $100,000 in cash to SAI Corporation ("SAIC"), a corporation controlled by Stephen Sperco ("Sperco"). We also granted to SAIC warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share expiring in June 2012. On the same day we sold 40 shares of Series C preferred stock for $500,000 in cash to Sperco. We also granted to Sperco warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share expiring in June 2012. Mr. Sperco is our CEO and a director. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in footnote 13 - subsequent events, item (6), certain adjustment provisions in these warrant agreements were triggered. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.17 per share was reduced to $0.0333334 per share.

Based upon the $600,000 investment in Series C preferred stock, we allocated the relative fair value of $100,000 to preferred stock and $500,000 to the warrants.

Bluegate analyzed the conversion feature associated with the preferred stock for derivative accounting consideration under SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and EITF 00-19 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock. Bluegate determined the conversion feature met the criteria for classification in equity and did not require derivative treatment under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19.

In accordance with EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, which provides guidance on the calculation of a beneficial conversion feature on a convertible instrument, Bluegate has determined that the Series C shares issued had an aggregate beneficial conversion feature of $500,000 as of the date of issuance, resulting in a total discount of $600,000. Bluegate recorded this beneficial conversion feature as a deemed dividend upon issuance.

The warrants issued in this transaction were subject to a registration rights agreement which required Bluegate to register the underlying shares by September 28, 2007 or pay liquidated damages of 1.5% of the purchase price of the investment each month the shares were not registered. We filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement which was effective as of August 30, 2007 with respect to these securities. There is no liability related to the registration rights agreements.

As a result of this transaction, net operating losses accumulated up through the change in control are limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 due to the change in control (see above footnote 8 – Income Taxes).

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company had adopted the 2002 Stock and Stock Option Plan under which incentive stock options for up to 450,000 common shares may be awarded to officers, directors and key employees. The plan was designed to attract and reward key executive personnel. As of December 31, 2007, Bluegate has granted all 450,000 options and the 2002 stock plan is not active.

Stock options granted pursuant to the 2002 plan expire as determined by the board of directors. All of the options granted were at an option price equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant.

In 2005 the Company adopted the 2005 Stock and Stock Option Plan. The purpose of the 2005 plan is to further our interests, our Subsidiaries and our stockholders by providing incentives in the form of stock options to key employees, consultants, directors and others who contribute materially to our success and profitability. The grants recognize and reward outstanding individual performances and contributions and will give such persons a proprietary interest in us, thus enhancing their personal interest in our continued success and progress.  The 2005 Plan also assists us and our subsidiaries in attracting and retaining key employees and Directors and is administered by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has the exclusive power to select the participants, to establish the terms of the stock and options granted to each participant, provided that all options granted shall be granted at an exercise price equal to at least 85% of the fair market value of the common stock covered by the option on the grant date and to make all determinations necessary or advisable under the 2005 plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted or optioned and sold under the plan is 3,000,000 shares. As of December 31, 2007, 1,016,021 shares of common stock have been granted.

During 2007 and 2006, Bluegate used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options and warrants using the following assumptions: number of options as set forth in the option agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility ranging from 202% to 260%; risk-free interest rates of 5.0%; and expected terms based on the period of time expected to elapse until exercise. When applicable, Bluegate uses the simplified method of calculating expected term as described in SAB 107.

EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

During 2007, Bluegate completed the following equity transactions:


COMMON STOCK:

Issuance of common stock and warrants for cash:

(1)               During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we issued 800,000 shares of common stock, warrants for 800,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for $400,000 in connection with a private placement of our securities. The relative fair value of the stock and warrants in these transactions were $108,576 and $291,424, respectively. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in footnote 13 - subsequent events, item (7), the exercise prices of $0.75 and $1.00 related to 400,000 and 200,000 warrants issued during this period, respectively, were reduced to $0.0333334.

(2)               In July 2007, we issued 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants for 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share for $300,000 in connection with a private sale of our securities to two officers of Bluegate, Manfred Sternberg, Chief Strategy Officer and William Koehler, President and COO and one other investor. The fair value of the warrants was $553,805 on the date of issuance. Because the warrants were granted to related parties and the exercise price on the grant date was below the market price of our stock, we expensed $553,805 in July 2007 related to these transactions. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in footnote 13 - subsequent events, item (6), certain adjustment provisions in these warrant agreements were triggered. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.17 per share was reduced to $0.0333334 per share.

(3)               In September 2007, as a result of the preferred stock transaction described above, certain adjustment provisions in Bluegate’s previous convertible note agreements and warrant agreements issued in September 2005 and subsequently, were triggered. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 1,534,800 shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share was reduced to $0.17 per share and further reduced in February 2008 to $0.0333334 as a result of the transaction described in footnote 13 - subsequent events, item (6).

Issuance of common stock for delay in filing a registration statement:

(9)               The warrants issued in the transactions recorded in the period January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006 were subject to registration rights agreements which required Bluegate to register the underlying shares by November 30, 2006 or pay liquidated damages of 1.5% of the purchase price of the investment each month the shares were not registered.

In August 2007, we paid liquidated damages of $4,875 by issuing 10,031 restricted shares of common stock covering the period from June 1, 2006 through August 31, 2007.

Employee stock options repriced:

(17)           In December 2007, 8,601,400 previously issued common stock options to certain employees with exercise prices ranging from $0.39 to $6.00 were reduced to $0.34. As a result of this transaction, $47,394 was recorded as compensation expense.

Bluegate used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options and warrants using the following assumptions: number of options as set forth in the option agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility of 202%; risk-free interest rates of 5.0%; and expected terms based on the period of time expected to elapse until exercise. When applicable, Bluegate uses the simplified method of calculating expected term as described in SAB 107.


During 2006, Bluegate completed the following equity transactions:

Issuance of common stock and warrants for cash:

(1)               In February 2006, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock for $50,000 proceeds from the exercise of a warrant.

(2)               In February and March 2006, we issued 273,333 shares of common stock, warrants for 273,333 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 136,667 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for $205,000 in connection with a private placement of our securities. Bluegate evaluated the freestanding warrants to determine if they were within the scope of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Part of this evaluation considered the ‘Liquidated Damages’ provision in the ‘Registration Rights Agreement’ that covers both the warrants and the common stock. Bluegate concluded that the settlement in “Unregistered Shares” was more economical, therefore the “Liquidated Damages” provision did not create a defect in the warrant evaluation and the freestanding warrants should not be classified as a liability and therefore are not subject to SFAS 133.

(3)               In May 2006 we issued 160,000 shares of stock, warrants for 160,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 80,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for cash consideration of $120,000 in connection with a private placement.  Bluegate evaluated the freestanding warrants to determine if they were within the scope of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Part of this evaluation considered the ‘Liquidated Damages’ provision in the ‘Registration Rights Agreement’ that covers both the warrants and the common stock. Bluegate concluded that the settlement in “Unregistered Shares” was more economical, therefore the “Liquidated Damages” provision did not create a defect in the warrant evaluation and the freestanding warrants should not be classified as a liability and therefore are not subject to SFAS 133.

(4)               During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we issued 990,000 shares of common stock, warrants for 990,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 495,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for $495,000 in connection with a private placement of our securities. Bluegate evaluated the freestanding warrants to determine if they were within the scope of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Part of this evaluation considered the ‘Liquidated Damages’ provision in the ‘Registration Rights Agreement’ that covers both the warrants and the common stock. Bluegate concluded that the settlement in “Unregistered Shares” was more economical, therefore the “Liquidated Damages” provision did not create a defect in the warrant evaluation and the freestanding warrants should not be classified as a liability and therefore are not subject to SFAS 133.

(5)               During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we issued 1,200,000 shares of common stock, warrants for 1,200,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 600,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for $600,000 in connection with a private placement of our securities. Bluegate evaluated the freestanding warrants to determine if they were within the scope of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Part of this evaluation considered the ‘Liquidated Damages’ provision in the ‘Registration Rights Agreement’ that covers both the warrants and the common stock. Bluegate concluded that the settlement in “Unregistered Shares” was more economical, therefore the “Liquidated Damages” provision did not create a defect in the warrant evaluation and the freestanding warrants should not be classified as a liability and therefore are not subject to SFAS 133. In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in footnote 13 - subsequent events, item (7), the exercise prices of $0.75 and $1.00 related to 200,000 and 100,000 warrants issued during this period, respectively, were reduced to $0.0333334.


Conversion of preferred stock for common stock:

(6)               In March 2006, we issued 1,418,681 shares of our common stock for conversion of 110.242 shares of our Series A Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred stock. As a result of this transaction, there are no remaining shares of our Series A Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred stock outstanding.

(a) In February 2008, as a result of the transaction described in footnote 13 - subsequent events, item (7), the exercise price of 1,200,000 options issued to Stephen Sperco was reduced to $0.0333334.
                         


Warrants issued with note payable:

(19)                     On July 3, 2006, for consideration of receiving a $100,000 loan from an individual, we issued a note payable and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share expiring in July 2007.

Issuance of common stock warrants for extension of note repayment:

(20)                     In April 2006 we exercised our option to extend the due date of our convertible notes payable by 90 days to July 31, 2006.  As a result, we issued warrants to purchase 349,866 shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share to the note holders, as required by the note agreement. We recorded interest expense of $177,735 in connection with this transaction.

(21)                     In July 2006, we exercised our option to extend the due date of the aforementioned convertible notes payable by 90 days to October 31, 2006.  As a result, we issued warrants to purchase 358,265 shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share to the note holders, as required by the note agreement. We recorded interest expense of $214,328 in connection with this transaction.

Issuance of common stock and warrants for registration rights extension:

(22)                     On March 31, 2006 certain adjustment provisions contained in Bluegate's convertible notes payable warrants issued in September 2005 were triggered.  Pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 666,667 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share was reduced to $0.75 per share (See item 24 below).

(23)               On June 30, 2006, we issued 216,667 shares of our common stock, warrants for 216,667 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 108,333 of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for consideration of the investors agreement to extend Bluegate’s obligations pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement until November 30, 2006.  The fair value of the stock and warrants issued was $350,743. Bluegate evaluated the freestanding warrants to determine if they were within the scope of SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Part of this evaluation considered the ‘Liquidated Damages’ provision in the ‘Registration Rights Agreement’ that covers both the warrants and the common stock. Bluegate concluded that the settlement in “Unregistered Shares” was more economical, therefore the “Liquidated Damages” provision did not create a defect in the warrant evaluation and the freestanding warrants should not be classified as a liability and therefore are not subject to SFAS 133.

(24)               On June 30, 2006, in conjunction with the transaction to extend Bluegate’s obligations pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement(see item 23 above), certain adjustment provisions in Bluegate’s convertible note agreements and warrant agreements issued in September 2005 were triggered. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 666,667 shares (see item 22 above) and 349,866 shares (see item 20 above) of our common stock at $0.75 per share was reduced to $0.50 per share.

Conversion of related party debt for common stock and warrants:

The warrants vest immediately and expire in November 2011. The excess of the fair value of the stock and warrants issued over the debt converted totaled $831,607 and was recorded as compensation expense.

Issuance of common stock and warrants for extinguishment of debt:

(27)               In November 2006 we issued 240,000 shares of stock, warrants for 240,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 120,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for the extinguishment of outstanding debt to a consultant totaling $120,000.

As condition to and as additional consideration for SAIC’s agreement to lend the funds to the Company, the Company granted SAIC a security interest in its assets as more specifically detailed in the Promissory Note and Security Agreement, and increased the interest rate from 12% to 15% per annum. See subsequent events footnote 13, item (7) below.

As part of the $85,000 consideration, 510,000 previously issued warrants with exercise prices ranging from $0.75 to $1.25 were reduced to $0.17. The expiration date for 100,000 previously issued warrants was extended to January 22, 2011. All other terms of the warrant agreements remained the same.


 
(6)               On February 14, 2008, we finalized and consummated a transaction with a deemed effective date of February 1, 2008 whereby we issued 9,150,000 shares of stock for the conversion of related party debts of directors totaling $305,000 and we issued 300,000 shares of stock to two managers for $10,000. The conversion and purchase price per share was $0.0333334. The excess of the fair value of the stock over the debt converted and shares purchased totaled $535,500 and was recorded as compensation expense. The following individuals or related entities converted debt and received the following shares: (i) Stephen Sperco, Director and CEO, received 3,000,000 shares; (ii) SAI Corporation, an entity controlled by Stephen Sperco, received 1,500,000 shares; (iii) Manfred Sternberg, Director and Chief Strategy Officer, received 2,400,000 shares; (iv) William Koehler, Director and President, received 2,100,000 shares; and, (v) Dale Geary, Director, received, 150,000 shares. The following members of management purchased the following shares: Charles Leibold, CFO, purchase 150,000 shares; and, Larry Walker, President of Trilliant Technology Group, Inc., our 100% owned subsidiary, purchased 150,000 shares.
 
 
As a result of the February 14, 2008 transaction: (1) certain adjustment provisions in a previous convertible note agreements and warrant agreements issued in September 2005 and subsequent, were triggered and pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 1,534,800 shares of our common stock at $0.17 per share was reduced to $0.0333334 per share; and, (2) certain adjustment provisions in previous warrant agreements issued in June and July 2007, were triggered and pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of previously issued warrants to purchase 7,500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.17 per share was reduced to $0.0333334 per share.
 
F-24

(7)               As disclosed in the above footnotes 7 and 11, Notes Payable and Related Party Transactions, respectively, during 2007 the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with SAI Corporation (“SAIC”), a corporation controlled by our CEO, Stephen Sperco, to borrow up to $500,000 and, as of December 31, 2007 the Company had borrowed $500,000 from SAIC. On February 28, 2008, the line of credit agreement was amended to increase the borrowing to $700,000 and on February 28, 2008, Bluegate borrowed the additional $200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes.

As condition to and as additional consideration for SAIC’s agreement to lend the funds to the Company, the Company (i)granted SAIC a security interest in its assets as more specifically detailed in the Promissory Note and Security Agreement, and increased the interest rate from 12% to 15% per annum; (ii) reduced the exercise price on 2,200,000 existing warrants and options issued to SAIC and Stephen Sperco, and their assigns, from the current per share exercise prices of $0.17, $0.34, $0.75 and $1.00 to $0.0333334 per share; and (iii) granted 1,000,000 new warrants to SAIC with an exercise price of $0.0333334 per share that expire February 28, 2013. The fair value of the 1,000,000 warrants was $109,028 on the date of issuance. Because the warrants were granted to a related party and the exercise price on the grant date was below the market price of our stock, we expensed $109,028 in February 2008 related to this transaction.

The company currently has outstanding: (i) 24,783,565 shares of common stock; (ii) 19,728,220 warrants; (iii) 11,219,864 options; and, (iv) preferred stock that are convertible into 1,200,000 shares of common stock, resulting in on a fully diluted basis, 56,931,649 shares of common stock. However, the company currently has only 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized by our Articles of Incorporation. If all of the holders of warrants, options, convertible debt and preferred stock requested to exercise or convert all of the warrants, options, convertible debt and preferred stock, we would be unable to accommodate 6,931,649 shares of common stock in those requests. The company could have liability in the future if an option holder, warrant holder, preferred stock holder or holder of convertible debt desires to exercise or convert but cannot because we do not have enough unissued common stock available for issuance. However, the following individuals or entities have waived their reservation of common stock underlying options and warrants until such time that the board of directors deems the waiver is not necessary as follows: Stephen Sperco and related entity (3,000,000 shares); Manfred Sternberg and related entities (2,000,000 shares); and William Koehler (2,000,000 shares).
