In this prospectus, we refer to ourselves as "Bluegate," "We," Us," "Our" and the "Company." References to us also include our subsidiary, Trilliant Technology Group, Inc. (“TTG”).  References to our common stock herein give effect to our 20:1 reverse stock split in 2004.

Our growth is dependent on our 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 services at a profit. Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in their report, dated April 9, 2009, indicating substantial doubt exists relating to our ability to continue as a going concern.

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

RISK FACTORS

Our future performance is subject to a variety of risks. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In addition to the following disclosures, please refer to the other information contained in this report, including consolidated financial statements and related notes, and information contained in the Company’s other SEC filings. This document contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. This section discusses the business risk factors that might cause those differences.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL OPERATIONS:

OUR PAST LOSSES RAISE DOUBTS ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE PROFITABLY OR CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

We have experienced substantial operating losses and we expect to incur significant operating losses until sales increase. We will also need to raise sufficient funds to finance our activities. We may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in their report, dated April 9, 2009, indicating substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

OUR EXPECTED FUTURE LOSSES RAISE DOUBTS ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN UNLESS WE CAN RAISE
CAPITAL

Future events may lead to increased costs that could make it difficult for us to succeed. To raise additional capital, we may sell additional equity securities, or accept debt financing or obtain financing through a bank or other entity. There is no limit as to the amount of debt we may incur. Additional financing may not be available to us or may not be available on terms acceptable to us. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of additional stock, there may be a significant dilution in the value of our outstanding common stock.


 
5

 

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RAISE THE REQUIRED CAPITAL TO CONDUCT OUR OPERATIONS

We may require additional capital resources in order to conduct our operations. If we cannot obtain additional funding, we may make reductions in the scope and size of our operations. In order to grow and expand our business, and to introduce our services to the marketplace, we will need to raise additional funds.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS:

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 more extensive resources than we have, and there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete.

IF WE DO NOT KEEP PACE WITH OUR COMPETITORS AND WITH TECHNOLOGICAL AND MARKET CHANGES, OUR SERVICES MAY BECOME OBSOLETE AND OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER

The market for our services is competitive and could be subject to rapid technological changes. We believe that there are potentially many competitive approaches being pursued, including some by private companies from which information is difficult to obtain. Many of our competitors have significantly greater resources and more services that directly compete with our services. Our competitors may have developed, or could in the future develop, new technologies that compete with our services even render our services obsolete.

WE COULD HAVE SYSTEMS FAILURES THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS

Our business depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our computer and communications hardware systems and infrastructure. Although we have taken precautions against system failure, interruptions could result from natural disasters as well as power losses, Internet failures, telecommunication failures and similar events. Our systems are also subject to human error, security breaches, computer viruses, break-ins, "denial of service" attacks, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and tampering designed to disrupt our computer systems. We also lease telecommunications lines from local and regional carriers, whose service may be interrupted. Any damage or failure that interrupts or delays network operations could materially and adversely affect our business.

OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE FAIL TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS SECURITY ISSUES

We have taken measures to protect the integrity of our technology infrastructure and the privacy of confidential information. Nonetheless, our technology infrastructure is potentially vulnerable to physical or electronic break-ins, viruses or similar problems. If a person or entity circumvents its security measures, they could jeopardize the security of confidential information stored on our systems, misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations. We may be required to make substantial additional investments and efforts to protect against or remedy security breaches. Security breaches that result in access to confidential information could damage our reputation and expose us to a risk of loss or liability.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES:
 
THE SHARES AVAILABLE FOR SALE BY THE SELLING STOCKHOLDERS COULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR
COMMON STOCK

A total of 38,645,577 shares of our common stock are being registered for resale under this prospectus. The market price of our common stock could drop if a substantial amount of these shares are sold in the public market. A drop in the market price will reduce the value of your investment.

LACK OF AUTHORIZED STOCK TO COVER ALL OUTSTANDING OPTIONS, WARRANTS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

As of March 31, 2009, the company has outstanding: (i) 26,033,565 shares of common stock; (ii) 17,437,800 warrants; (iii) 9,833,597 options; and, (iv) preferred stock that are convertible into 1,200,000 shares of common stock, resulting on a fully diluted basis, 54,504,962 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 4,504,962 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). We intend to seek consent of the required majority of shareholders in the near future to increase Bluegate’s authorized shares.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS MAY SELL SECURITIES AT ANY PRICE OR TIME WHICH COULD REDUCE THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK

After effectiveness of this prospectus, the Selling Stockholders may offer and sell their shares at a price and time determined by them. The timing of sales and the price at which the shares are sold by the Selling Stockholders could have an adverse effect upon the public market for our common stock.

SINCE WE HAVE NOT PAID ANY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK AND DO NOT INTEND TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE, A PURCHASER OF OUR COMMON STOCK WILL ONLY REALIZE A GAIN ON HIS INVESTMENT IF THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK INCREASES

We have never paid, and do not intend, to pay any cash dividends on our common Stock for the foreseeable future. An investor in this offering, in all likelihood, will only realize a profit on his investment if the market price of our common stock increases in value.

BECAUSE SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY MOST LIKELY TRADE UNDER $5.00 PER SHARE, THE APPLICATION OF THE PENNY STOCK REGULATION COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO SELL THEIR SHARES

Our securities may be considered a penny stock. Penny stocks generally are defined as securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share other than securities registered on national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq stock market, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. Our securities may be subject to penny stock rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stock securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of penny stock securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Monthly statements must be sent by the broker-dealer disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. The penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity of our common stock in the public market.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of restricted common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144. Any substantial sale of our common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have material adverse effect on the market price of our securities.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE:

OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE LIMITED LIABILITY AND HAVE INDEMNITY RIGHTS

The Nevada Revised Statutes, our Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws provide that we may indemnify our officers and directors against losses or liabilities which arise in their corporate capacity. The effect of these provisions could be to dissuade lawsuits against our officers and directors.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


-
Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers.
   
-
Block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction.
   
-
Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account.
   
-
An exchange distribution following the rules of the applicable exchange.
   
-
Privately negotiated transactions.
   
-
Short sales or sales of shares not previously owned by the seller.
   
-
An agreement between a broker-dealer and a Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share.
   
-
A combination of any such methods of sale.
   
-
Any other lawful method.

The Selling Stockholder may also engage in:

-
Short selling against the box, which is making a short sale when the seller already owns the shares.
   
-
Buying puts, which is a contract whereby the person buying the contract may sell shares at a specified price by a specified date.
   
-
Selling calls, which is a contract giving the person buying the contract the right to buy shares at a specified price by a specified date.
   
-
Selling under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
   
-
Other transactions in our securities or in derivatives of our securities and the subsequent sale or delivery of shares by the stock holder.
   
-
Pledging shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a Selling Stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder in amounts to be negotiated.  If any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, the broker-dealer may receive commission from the purchaser in amounts to be negotiated.  We do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be considered to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act for such sales. An underwriter is a person who has purchased shares from an issuer with a view towards distributing the shares to the public. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be considered to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares in this offering. However, we will not pay any commissions or any other fees in connection with the resale of the common stock in this offering.

If we are notified by a Selling Stockholder that they have a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required to amend the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the Selling Stockholder and the broker-dealer.


COMMON STOCK
The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders. If we are required to go into liquidation, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in the distribution of assets remaining after payment of liabilities and preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to dividends as declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available. The outstanding common stock is validly issued and non-assessable.

As of April 24, 2009, we had 26,033,565 shares outstanding of which 22,496,334 shares were restricted shares. All 22,496,334 restricted shares are more than one year old and may be sold pursuant to Rule 144.

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. Bluegate’s net tangible book value (deficit) per share was ($0.13) prior to the investment in the preferred stock by Mr. Sperco and SAI Corporation on June 28, 2007. After the $600,000 cash investment and assuming that Mr. Sperco and SAI Corporation converted all of the 48 shares of preferred stock into 1,200,000 shares of common stock and exercised all of the 7,200,000 warrants at $0.17 per share resulting in $1,020,000 proceeds to Bluegate, Bluegate’s net tangible book value (deficit) per share would have been reduced to ($0.01). Mr. Sperco is our CEO and a director. 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. 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 $518,500 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.  As a result of this transaction, 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. As a result of his purchase of Series C Preferred Stock described above, and his previously and subsequently acquired stock, options and warrants, 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.

In the Company’s Form 10-K, we refer to ourselves as "Bluegate", "We", "Us", “the Company”, and "Our." References to our common stock herein give effect to our 20:1 reverse stock split which occurred in 2004.  In 2004, we took corporate action to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock to be 50,000,000 shares of common stock.

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 registered public accounting firm issued a going concern qualification in their report dated April 9, 2009, 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. Bluegate’s net tangible book value (deficit) per share was ($0.13) prior to the investment in the preferred stock by Mr. Sperco and SAI Corporation on June 28, 2007. After the $600,000 cash investment and assuming that Mr. Sperco and SAI Corporation converted all of the 48 shares of preferred stock into 1,200,000 shares of common stock and exercised all of the 7,200,000 warrants at $0.17 per share resulting in $1,020,000 proceeds to Bluegate, Bluegate’s net tangible book value (deficit) per share would have been reduced to ($0.01).

As a result of his purchase of Series C Preferred Stock described above, and his previously and subsequently acquired stock, options and warrants, 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 proposed national health information network (NHIN) 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.

 
15

 

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 of the Houston hospital, centralized Healthcare, and physician markets; (2) commence deployment of services in other Texas cities; and, (3) 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 utilize 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 areas through its Trilliant Technology Group organization:  (1) Further establish its reputation as one of the top Telecommunications consulting organizations in the U.S.; and (2) expand its IT Infrastructure consulting base.

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 more extensive 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 2008, our top five customers accounted for 41% of our service revenue and no single customer accounted for more than 12% of service revenue.

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, 2008 and 2007 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, 2008 and 2007 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 Implementation Project Management and 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 7 – notes payable and footnote 9 – stockholders’ deficit, 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.

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.

BLUEGATE CORPORATION
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.

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 collectability is reasonably assured.

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, 2008 and 2007, deferred service revenue was $194,472 and $153,579, 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 2008 and 2007  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, 2008 and 2007.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

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

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In June 2008, the FASB finalized EITF 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's Own Stock". The EITF lays out a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock. The EITF is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Some of Bluegate’s outstanding warrants that were previously classified in equity will be reclassified to liabilities on January 1, 2009 as a result of this EITF.  Bluegate estimates the fair value of these liabilities as of January 1, 2009 to be approximately $84,000. The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period based on the market value of our common stock and the change in fair value will be reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative liabilities.

2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

During 2008 and 2007, 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:


   
2008
   
2007
 
Net loss attributable to common shareholders
  $ (1,794,546 )   $ (5,726,080 )
Negative cash flow from operations
    (660,290 )     (1,923,684 )
Negative working capital
    (1,398,715 )     (1,134,965 )
Stockholders’ deficit
    (1,354,334 )     (1,064,665 )
                 

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, 2007, in accordance with the asset sale and purchase agreement, 419,753 shares of Bluegate’s common stock valued at $33,580 was issued as additional consideration based upon the acquired business’ revenue after the second 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. As a result of this transaction, $33,580 was recorded as an expense.

Unsecured notes payable: 10% note payable due upon demand
  $ 12,800     $ 12,800  
Secured note payable to related party: 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. 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. On July 14, 2008, the line of credit agreement with SAIC was amended to increase the borrowing to $900,000 and on July 31, 2008, Bluegate borrowed the additional $200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes. Upon Bluegate borrowing the additional $200,000, the Company agreed to pay (1) SAIC a $40,000 origination fee and (2) Sperco Technology Group, Inc. (“STG”), a corporation controlled by our CEO, Stephen Sperco, all past due amounts totaling $104,972. On August 14, 2008, the Company entered into a short term unsecured loan with SAIC to meet its working capital needs to borrow $65,000. Upon borrowing the $65,000, the Company agreed to pay SAIC a $6,500 origination fee and to repay SAIC with the first available funds once the August 15, 2008 payroll and medical insurance premium was paid. The Company paid the $65,000 loan and $6,500 fee on August 15, 2008. On August 28, 2008, the Company borrowed $50,000 from SAIC and agreed to pay SAIC a $5,000 origination fee. The Company paid the $50,000 funds borrowed and $5,000 fee on September 11, 2008. On October 16, 2008, the line of credit agreement with SAIC was amended to increase the borrowing to $1,100,000 and on October 21, 2008, Bluegate borrowed the additional $200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes. Upon Bluegate borrowing the additional $200,000, the Company agreed to pay (1) SAIC a $20,000 origination fee and (2) Sperco Technology Group, Inc. all past due amounts totaling $56,837. See footnote 13, Subsequent Events.

The difference between the income tax benefit in the accompanying statement of  operations  and  the  amount  that  would  result  if  the U.S. Federal statutory rate  of  34%  were  applied to pre-tax loss for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is attributable to the valuation allowance.
 
At December 31, 2008, for federal income tax and alternative minimum tax reporting purposes, the Company has $6,280,000 in unused net operating losses available for carryforward to future years which will expire in various years through 2028. 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. Effective February 14, 2008, as a result of an equity transaction described below in Common Stock item (2), 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, 2008, 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, 2008, 1,132,685 shares of common stock have been granted.

During 2008 and 2007, 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 2008, Bluegate completed the following equity transactions:

COMMON STOCK:

Issuance of common stock and warrants for cash:

1) In January 2008, we issued 170,000 shares of common stock, warrants for 130,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share, warrants for 40,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share for $85,000 in connection with a private placement of our securities. The relative fair value of the stock and warrants in these transactions were $70,223 and $14,777, respectively. 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.

Issuance of common stock for conversion of related party accounts payable, accrued liabilities and interest:
 
(2) 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. 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 $518,500 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.
 
 
Issuance of common stock to related party for cash:
 
 
(3) On February 14, 2008, we finalized and consummated a transaction with a deemed effective date of February 1, 2008 whereby we issued 300,000 shares of stock to two managers for $10,000. The purchase price per share was $0.0333334. The excess of the fair value of the stock over the shares purchased totaled $17,000 and was recorded as compensation expense. The following members of management purchased the following shares: Charles Leibold, CFO, purchased 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 described in (2) and (3) above: (i) 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, (ii) 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.
 
Issuance of common stock warrants as additional consideration to borrow funds from related party:

(4) As disclosed in the above footnote 7, Notes Payable, 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.

Issuance of common stock for options exercised for conversion of related party debt:

(5) In October 2008, we issued 1,150,000 unrestricted shares and 100,000 restricted shares of common stock to Stephen Sperco, our CEO as a result of his exercise of stock options on October 17, 2008. The Company satisfied related party accrued expenses and accrued interest owed to Mr. Sperco amounting to $38,334 and $3,334, respectively upon the exercise of these stock options.

As of December 31, 2008, the company has outstanding: (i) 26,033,565 shares of common stock; (ii) 17,521,550 warrants; (iii) 9,783,597 options; and, (iv) preferred stock that are convertible into 1,200,000 shares of common stock, resulting in on a fully diluted basis, 54,538,712 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 4,538,712 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).

During 2008, 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.

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 above, 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 above, 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 above.

Contingencies

The Company from time to time is involved in actions or disputes by third parties arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, no pending or known threatened claims or actions against the Company are expected to have a material adverse effect on Bluegate's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. With respect to such matters, management believes that it has adequate legal defenses that can be asserted and Bluegate intends to defend any pending or known threatened claims or actions vigorously; however, the Company cannot predict with certainty and there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome or effect of any claims or disputes.

A dispute arose during 2008 over the potential accrual of compensation for a combined amount of $151,998 as of December 31, 2008.  Bluegate assessed the likelihood that this dispute would result in a future loss to the company under FAS 5 and determined that the likelihood these salaries would be paid in the future to be reasonably possible, or more than remote but less than likely.  Accordingly, under FAS 5 Bluegate has not accrued the amount of disputed salaries as of December 31, 2008.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company engaged in related party transactions as follows:

Secured note payable:  During 2007, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement with SAI Corporation ("SAIC"), a corporation controlled by our CEO, Stephen Sperco (“SS”), to borrow up to $500,000. 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. On July 14, 2008, the line of credit agreement with SAIC was amended to increase the borrowing to $900,000 and on July 31, 2008, Bluegate borrowed the additional $200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes. Upon Bluegate borrowing the additional $200,000, the Company agreed to pay (1) SAIC a $40,000 origination fee and (2) Sperco Technology Group, Inc. (“STG”), a corporation controlled by SS, all past due amounts totaling $104,972. On August 14, 2008, the Company entered into a short term unsecured loan with SAIC to meet its working capital needs to borrow $65,000. Upon borrowing the $65,000, the Company agreed to pay SAIC a $6,500 origination fee and to repay SAIC with the first available funds once the August 15, 2008 payroll and medical insurance premium was paid. The Company paid the $65,000 loan and $6,500 fee on August 15, 2008. On August 28, 2008, the Company borrowed $50,000 from SAIC and agreed to pay SAIC a $5,000 origination fee. The Company paid the $50,000 funds borrowed and $5,000 fee on September 11, 2008. On October 16, 2008, the line of credit agreement with SAIC was amended to increase the borrowing to $1,100,000 and on October 21, 2008, Bluegate borrowed the additional $200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes. Upon Bluegate borrowing the additional $200,000, the Company agreed to pay (1) SAIC a $20,000 origination fee and (2) STG all past due amounts totaling $56,837. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had borrowed $1,100,000 and $500,000, respectively. See footnote 13, Subsequent Events.

BLUEGATE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Bluegate Corporation, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Bluegate's Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2008 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

     DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Bluegate does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.  Bluegate evaluates all of it financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.  For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.  For option-based derivative financial instruments, Bluegate uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.  Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 were effective January 1, 2008. The FASB has also issued Staff Position (FSP) SFAS 157-2 (FSP No. 157-2), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.

As defined in SFAS 157, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by SFAS 157 are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2009. As required by SFAS 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The derivatives listed above are carried at fair value. The fair value amounts in current period earnings associated with the Company’s derivatives resulted from Level 2 fair value methodologies; that is, the Company is able to value the assets and liabilities based on observable market data for similar instruments. This observable data includes the quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors.

 RECLASSIFICATIONS

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

2.  GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, Bluegate has been unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support its operations and has been dependent on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors. In addition to negative cash flow from operations, Bluegate has experienced recurring net losses, and has a negative working capital and shareholders’ deficit.

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Bluegate is unable to continue as a going concern.

As of March 31, 2009, the company has outstanding: (i) 26,033,565 shares of common stock; (ii) 17,437,800 warrants; (iii) 9,833,597 options; and, (iv) preferred stock that are convertible into 1,200,000 shares of common stock, resulting on a fully diluted basis, 54,504,962 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 4,504,962 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).

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.

5.           DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Embedded feature of equity-linked financial instrument:

In June 2008, the FASB finalized EITF 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's Own Stock". The EITF lays out a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock. The EITF is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. 9,034,800 of Bluegate’s outstanding warrants that were previously classified in equity were reclassified to derivative liabilities on January 1, 2009 as a result of this EITF.  Bluegate estimated the fair value of these liabilities as of January 1, 2009 to be $84,000 by recording a reduction of $4,600,000 to Additional Paid In Capital and $4,516,000 to Accumulated Deficit.  The effect of this adjustment is recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in our consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit. The fair value of these liabilities was $175,000 at March 31, 2009. The $91,000 change in fair value is reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a loss on derivative financial instruments. The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

Bluegate used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the embedded feature of the liability using the following assumptions: number of options as set forth in the option agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility ranging from 202% to 290%; risk-free interest rates of 5.0%; and expected terms based on the contractual term.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the discussions under “Application of Critical Accounting Policies,” which describes key estimates and assumptions we make in the preparation of our financial statements.

OVERVIEW
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, telecommunication, implementation project management and consulting through its professional services organization.

GOING CONCERN
We remain dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of our operations.  Our independent registered public accounting firm issued a going concern qualification in their report dated April 9, 2009, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we have been unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support our operations and have been dependent on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors.  We experienced negative financial results as follows:

Years Ended December 31
 
2008
   
2007
 
Net loss attributable to common shareholders
  $ (1,794,546 )   $ (5,726,080 )
Negative cash flow from operations
    (660,290 )     (1,923,684 )
Negative working capital
    (1,398,715 )     (1,134,965 )
Stockholders’ deficit
    (1,354,334 )     (1,064,665 )

Three Months Ended March 31

Net loss
  $ (141,623 )   $ (1,086,820 )
Negative cash flow from operations
    (111,835 )     (249,948 )
Negative working capital
    (1,613,509 )     (1,025,753 )
Stockholders’ deficit
    (1,578,038 )     (959,751 )

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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and three months ended March 31, 2009 have been funded by the issuance of 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 March 31, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were $79,448; total current assets were $583,226, total current liabilities were $2,196,735 and total stockholders’ deficit was $1,578,038. Effective January 1, 2008, three of the company’s executive officers reduced their annual base salaries to $100,000 each (which were further reduced to $24,000 effective May 1, 2008) until the company achieves a net positive cash flow from operations.

We intend to use debt to cover the anticipated negative cash flow into the second quarter of 2009, at which time we project to be operating at a break-even 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.

 
48

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

Service Revenue.
The $2,127,167 increase in Service Revenue from 2006 to 2007 was primarily attributable to our professional service business and our efforts to market our Medical Grade Network® business. During 2006 we commenced our national marketing efforts to hospital systems and were successful in securing two initial projects for hospitals outside of Texas. The decrease in Service Revenue of $1,392,610 from 2007 to 2008 is primarily attributable to: (i) a reduction of $1,058,000 related to the completion of certain large application development engagements; (ii) a reduction of $661,000 related to the fourth quarter 2007 decision by 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, which resulted in the reduction of the number of physician practices we served for that system; (iii) a reduction of $549,000 related to the reduction of EMR related projects and (iv) offset by an increase of $944,000 related to the implementation project management and consulting services.

Cost of Services.
The $1,450,676 increase in Cost of Services from 2006 to 2007 is attributable to the costs associated with the increase in our professional service business and the expansion of our Medical Grade Network® services. The net decrease in Cost of Services of $232,927 from 2007 to 2008 is primarily attributable to: (i) a $282,000 decrease related to the completion of certain large application development engagements throughout 2007; (ii) a $358,000 decrease due to the reduction of EMR related projects; and (iii) partially offset by an increase of $440,000 related to personnel costs for the implementation project management and consulting services reclassified from Compensation Expense.

Gross Profit.
Our Gross Profit increased $676,491 from 2006 to 2007 and decreased $1,159,683 from 2007 to 2008. Our Gross Profit as a percentage of Service Revenue decreased from 53% in 2006 to 45% in 2007 to 33% in 2008 primarily as a result of the changes in the Service Revenue and Cost of Services as described above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A).
The $31,137 decrease in SG&A from 2006 to 2007 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. The decrease in SG&A of $920,916 from 2007 to 2008 is due primarily to the elimination of $590,000 related to business consulting and investment banking fees, as well as the effects of additional cost control measures instituted during the first quarter of 2008.

Compensation Expense.
The decrease in Compensation Expense of $2,074,628 from 2006 to 2007 is principally comprised of the following:

  143,000  
increase related to issuance of shares for employee compensation
       
The decrease in Compensation Expense of $3,708,119 from 2007 to 2008 is principally comprised of the following:

In 2006 we reported a Goodwill Impairment of $113,021 and Loss on Debt Extinguishment of $472,952. There were no similar transactions for 2007 and 2008.

Interest Expense.
The $697,250 decrease in Interest Expense from 2006 to 2007 was a result of issuing common stock warrants for the extension of repayments of the convertible notes payable in 2006. The increase in Interest Expense of $137,818 from 2007 to 2008 was a result of the $600,000 increase in borrowings under the secured note payable to related party.

Net Loss.
The Net Loss decreased $4,065,479 from 2006 to 2007 and decreased $3,331,534 from 2007 to 2008 primarily due to the decrease in Compensation Expense as detailed above, as well as the changes in the Service Revenue and Cost of Services as described above.

Deemed Dividend on Preferred Stock.
There was no Deemed Dividend on Preferred Stock and common stock warrants issued for the years 2008 and 2006 as compared to $600,000 for the year 2007.

Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders.
The Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders decreased $3,465,479 from 2006 to 2007 and decreased $3,931,534 from 2007 to 2008 due to the items described above.

The increase of $884,320 in cash used in operations from 2006 to 2007 is primarily due to the $790,000 increase related to personnel costs of our professional service business and our efforts to market our Medical Grade Network® business.
The decrease of $1,263,394 in cash used in operations from 2007 to 2008 is primarily due to the $1,027,000 decrease in personnel and related salaries as a result of: (1) the completion of certain large application development engagements during 2007; (2) a decision by 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, which resulted in the reduction of the number of physician practices we served for that system; (3) the reduction of EMR related projects; and (4) partially offset by an increase of personnel and salaries related to the implementation project management and consulting services.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A).
The $607,242 decrease in SG&A from 2007 to 2008 was due primarily to the elimination of $590,000 related to business consulting and investment banking fees, as well as the effects of additional cost control measures instituted during the first quarter of 2008. The $114,847 decrease in SG&A from 2008 to 2009 is due primarily to the effects of additional cost control measures.

Loss on Derivative Financial Instruments.
In June 2008, the FASB finalized EITF 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's Own Stock". The EITF lays out a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock. The EITF is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Some of Bluegate’s outstanding warrants that were previously classified in equity were reclassified to derivative liabilities on January 1, 2009 as a result of this EITF.  Bluegate estimated the fair value of these liabilities as of January 1, 2009 to be $84,000. The fair value of these liabilities was $175,000 at March 31, 2009. The $91,000 change in fair value is reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a loss on derivative financial instruments.

Net Loss.
The Net Loss decreased $989,386 from 2007 to 2008 and decreased $945,197 from 2008 to 2009 primarily due to the decrease in Compensation Expense as detailed above, as well as the changes in the Service Revenue, Cost of Services and SG&A as described above.

Operating Activities.
The net decrease of $523,092 in cash used in operations from 2007 to 2008 is primarily due to: (1) the decrease in personnel and related salaries as a result of: (i) the completion of certain large application development engagements during 2007; (ii) a decision by 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, which resulted in the reduction of the number of physician practices we served for that system; (iii) the reduction of EMR related projects; (2) the elimination of business consulting and investment banking fees and (3) partially offset by an increase of personnel and salaries related to the implementation project management and consulting services. The net decrease of $138,113 in cash used in operations from 2008 to 2009 is primarily due to: (1) a decrease in personnel related to the completion of certain large application development engagements; (2) a reduction in product sales; (3) the effects of additional cost control measures and (4) partially offset by an increase of personnel and salaries related to the implementation project management and consulting services.

Investing Activities.
The changes in the net cash used in investing activities from 2007 through 2009 are insignificant.

Financing Activities.
The decrease of $487,866 in net cash provided by financing activities from 2007 to 2008 is due to: (1) a $305,000 decrease in investments in the company’s common stock and warrants; (2) a $315,000 decrease in proceeds from a note payable from an individual; and (3) a $132,000 net increase in related party short term debt. The decrease of $75,398 in cash provided by financing activities from 2008 to 2009 is due to: (1) a $95,000 decrease in investments in the company’s common stock and warrants; and (2) a $40,000 increase in payments on related party short term debt.

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 2009 and beyond.  This trend is particularly evident in Healthcare where the roll-out of Electronic Medical Records and cost control initiatives are National priorities; however, the current economic conditions have resulted in projects being delayed or cancelled.

Bluegate Services
At March 31, 2009, we had approximately 290 Medical Grade Network® customers which we forecast will increase moderately this year. During the second half of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, we continued greater focus on more complex projects and applications, which resulted in more efficient use of our resources and higher profit margins on the project work.

Professional Services
In October 2007 we were awarded a contract with a healthcare system in Houston, Texas to provide Implementation Project Management and consulting services. During 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, we experienced an increase in revenue from this line of business and anticipate a continuing relationship with this Healthcare system. During the second and third quarters of 2008 we entered into contracts with healthcare related systems in Texas, Illinois and California to provide similar services. We will continue to put particular focus on the delivery of Implementation Project Management services to the growing Healthcare industry.

Application Development
Throughout 2007 we completed certain application development engagements which resulted in a decrease in both revenue and corresponding contractor expenses during 2008 and early 2009. We are currently pursuing multiple opportunities to expand this practice area.

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.  Services are billed in advance and, accordingly, revenues are deferred until the period in which the services are provided.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123R") 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, we implemented SFAS No. 123R, and accordingly, Bluegate accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Bluegate does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.  Bluegate evaluates all of it financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives.  For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income.  For option-based derivative financial instruments, Bluegate uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.  Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

GOING CONCERN
We remain dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of our operations. Our independent registered public accounting firm included a going concern qualification in their report dated April 9, 2009 (included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008), which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we have been unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support our operations and have been dependent on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors.  We experienced negative financial results as follows:

Years Ended December 31
 
2008
   
2007
 
Net loss attributable to common shareholders
  $ (1,794,546 )   $ (5,726,080 )

Negative working capital
    (1,398,715 )     (1,134,965 )

Negative cash flow from operations
    (111,835 )     (249,948 )
Negative working capital
    (1,613,509 )     (1,025,753 )
Stockholders’ deficit
    (1,578,038 )     (959,751 )

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 the above 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: (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.

(1)In December 2006, we entered into a two year employment agreement with Stephen Sperco at an annual base salary of $150,000 with a monthly vehicle transportation allowance of $750 to serve as our Chief Operating Officer. In April 2007, Mr. Sperco was appointed our Chief Executive Officer.

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, 2008, 1,132,685 shares of common stock have been granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan.

(1) The percentage of beneficial ownership of Common Stock is based on 26,033,565 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 24, 2009 and includes all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or conversion of preferred shares to purchase Common Stock.
             
(2) Of the 8,513,868 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Sternberg: (i) 3,220,279 are common shares owned directly by Mr. Sternberg, (ii) 683,589 are common shares owned indirectly by Mr. Sternberg, and (iii) 4,610,000 are common shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants.
             
(3) Of the 4,975,117 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Koehler: (i) 2,735,117 are common shares owned directly by Mr. Koehler, and (ii) 2,240,000 are common shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants.
             
(4) Of the 15,420,250 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Sperco: (i) 4,456,750 are common shares owned directly by Mr. Sperco, (ii) 1,913,500 are common shares owned indirectly by Mr. Sperco, (iii) 7,850,000 are common shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants, and (iv) 1,200,000 are common shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred shares. Mr. Sperco controls SAI Corporation which is listed in item 5 below. 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 to SAI Corporation. 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 Stephen 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. 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. Bluegate’s net tangible book value (deficit) per share was ($0.13) prior to the investment in the preferred stock by Mr. Sperco and SAI Corporation on June 28, 2007. After the $600,000 cash investment and assuming that Mr. Sperco and SAI Corporation converted all of the 48 shares of preferred stock into 1,200,000 shares of common stock and exercised all of the 7,200,000 warrants at $0.17 per share resulting in $1,020,000 proceeds to Bluegate, Bluegate’s net tangible book value (deficit) per share would have been reduced to ($0.01). As a result of his purchase of Series C Preferred Stock described above, and his previously and subsequently acquired stock, options and warrants, 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.
             
(5) Of the 4,713,500 shares beneficially owned by SAI Corporation: (i) 1,913,500 are common shares owned directly by SAI Corporation, (ii) 2,600,000 are common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, and (iii) 200,000 are common shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred shares. SAI Corporation is controlled by Mr. Sperco who is listed in item 4 above. 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 to SAI Corporation. 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. 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. As a result of SAI Corporation's purchase of Series C Preferred Stock described above, and the previously and subsequently acquired stock and warrants, SAI Corporation beneficially owns 17% of our common stock without taking into account the super voting power of the Preferred stock, and 24% when taking into account the super voting power of the Preferred Stock.
             
(6) Of the 275,000 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Geary: (i) 150,000 are common shares owned directly by Mr. Geary, and  (ii) 125,000 are common shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants.
             
(7) Of the 850,000 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Leibold: (i) 150,000 are common shares owned directly by Mr. Leibold, and  (ii) 700,000 are common shares issuable upon the exercise of options.
             
(8) Of the 1,779,228 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Davis: (i) 35,023 are common shares owned directly by Mr. Davis, (ii) 1,546,205 are common shares owned indirectly by Mr. Davis, and (iii) 198,000 are common shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants.
             
(9) Includes shares, options, warrants and preferred convertible shares owned by these persons.
             
As described in items 4 and 5 above, as a result of Mr. Sperco's and SAI Corporation's purchase of Series C Preferred Stock, and Mr. Sperco's previously and subsequently acquired stock, options and warrants, 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.

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.
 
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 on February 28, 2008, the line of credit agreement was amended to increase the borrowing to $700,000. 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.

In October 2008, we issued 1,150,000 unrestricted shares and 100,000 restricted shares of common stock to Stephen Sperco, our CEO as a result of his exercise of stock options on October 17, 2008. The Company satisfied related party accrued expenses and interest owed to Mr. Sperco amounting to $38,334 and $3,334, respectively upon the exercise of these stock options.

As of March 31, 2009, the company has outstanding: (i) 26,033,565 shares of common stock; (ii) 17,437,800 warrants; (iii) 9,833,597 options; and, (iv) preferred stock that are convertible into 1,200,000 shares of common stock, resulting on a fully diluted basis, 54,504,962 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 4,504,962 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).

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

The Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.7502 provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) Is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or, (b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.  Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless
and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.  To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

The Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.751 provides that any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 78.751, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) By the stockholders; (b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law. The indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action, and, (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Our Articles of Incorporation at Article VIII provides that the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada General Corporation Law, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any an all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said Law from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities, or other matters referred to in or covered by said Law, and the indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

Our Bylaws at Article X provide that the: The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner in which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Any indemnification under this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (c) by the stockholders. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending in a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Article. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking

indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Article. For purposes of this section references to "the Company" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in these Bylaws, shall operate to indemnify any director or officer if such indemnification is contrary to law, either as a matter of public policy, or under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other applicable state or Federal law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the forgoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Nevada Revised Statutes, law, our Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws provide that we may indemnify our officers and directors against losses or liabilities which arise in their corporate capacity. The effect of these provisions could be to dissuade lawsuits against our officers and directors.

The Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.7502 provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) Is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or, (b) Acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

The Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.751 provides that any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 78.751, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances.  The determination must be made: (a) By the stockholders; (b) By the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) If a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) If a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.  The articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The provisions of this subsection do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law. The indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to this section: (a) Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to NRS 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to subsection 2, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action, and, (b) Continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner in which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Any indemnification under this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Article. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (c) by the stockholders. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending in a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Article.

capacity while holding such office. The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under this Article. For purposes of this section references to "the Company" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in these Bylaws, shall operate to indemnify any director or officer if such indemnification is contrary to law, either as a matter of public policy, or under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other applicable state or Federal law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the forgoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

a.  
Rule 415 Offering.
 
 
 
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
 
 
ii.  
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
 
 
 
 
3.  
 
 
 
 
B.  
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

ii.  
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

3.  
The benefits of such indemnification are not waived by such persons:
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
