Item 1.Business.

INTRODUCTION
Bluegate Corporation (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 (“Bluegate”).

Bluegate is a Nevada Corporation that consists of the networking service (carrier/circuit) business, which provides internet connectivity to corporate clients on a subscription basis; essentially operating as a broker.

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

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

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

Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  Our independent registered public accounting firm issued a going concern qualification in their report dated March 15, 2010, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our stock is traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and 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 s hares 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 o f 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.

As a result of his purchase of Series C Preferred Stock described above, and his previously acquired stock and warrants, and most recent conversion of certain debt to equity and additional warrants received in 2008, Mr. Sperco beneficially owns 44% of our common stock without taking into account the super voting power of the Preferred stock, and 62% when taking into account the super voting power of the Preferred Stock. One of the conditions of Mr. Sperco’s purchase of the Preferred Stock was that both he and Dale Geary be appointed as Directors.  

Effective May 31, 2009, Mr. Koehler resigned as President from the company.

Effective July 29, 2009, Charles Leibold became a Director as a result of: (A) the June 12, 2009 written consent of a majority of our shareholders; (B) the June 22, 2009 filing of a Preliminary Information Statement; (C) the July 8, 2009 filing of a Definitive Information Statement; and, (D) the July 9, 2009 mailing of the Definitive Information Statement to our shareholders.  The Definitive Information Statement had a record date of June 25, 2009. Mr. Leibold remains our Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer.

Effective July 30, 2009, the titles of CEO and President were combined, and Stephen Sperco was appointed President. Mr. Sperco is our CEO/President/Director. Stephen Sperco was appointed Chairman of the Board.  The executive officer position of Chief Strategy Officer was eliminated and Mr. Sternberg’s employment was terminated.

Effective October 27, 2009, Mr. Koehler resigned as Director and effective October 28, 2009, Mr. Sternberg and Mr. Geary resigned as Directors.
 
In order to preserve common shareholder value, avoid bankruptcy and minimize Bluegate’s ongoing loss, effective November 7, 2009, Bluegate entered into the following transactions: 1) disposed of certain Medical Grade Network (“MGN”) assets and business and the elimination of certain liabilities (consisting primarily of: a) furniture, computers and related software and peripherals with a $17,889 book value; b)  contracts, agreements, lists of telephone and fax numbers, licenses, permits, intellectual properties, registered mark for MGN, and business name of Bluegate with a -0- net book value; c) eliminated liabilities of $43,607 principally related to customer product prepays which were assumed by the purchaser) to Sperco, LLC (“Sperco”) (an entity controlled by Stephen Sperco (“SS”), our CEO/President/Director) for $200,000, with payment made by a combination of $100,000 cash and $100,000 forgiveness of debt to SAI Corporation (“SAIC”) (an entity controlled by SS), plus a net adjustment of $7,100 due to Bluegate from Sperco resulting from Bluegate’s collection of principally accounts receivable totaling $161,900 on behalf of Sperco for the period from November 8, 2009 through December 31, 2009, offset by Sperco’s payment of $169,000 to Bluegate for the personnel, facilities, tools, and resources necessary for Bluegate to support both the MGN and HIMS operations for Sperco for the same period; 2) entered into a Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with Manfred Sternberg (“MS”) (former Director/Corporate Officer), which included the elimination of $28,499 of accrued director fees and vehicle allowances in exchange for repayment of a loan plus accrued interest totaling $44,369 to MS; and 3) entered into A Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with William Koehler (“WK”) (former Director/Corporate Officer), which included the elimination of $28,499 of accrued director fees and vehicle allowances in exchange for repayment of a loan plus accrued interest totaling $44,374 with a direct payment to WK’s American Express account and a $1 payment to WK; and 4) disposed of certain Trilliant Technology Group, Inc.’s assets and business (consisting primarily of: a) Computers and related software and peripherals with a -0- net book value; b) lists of telephone and fax numbers and  intellectual properties with a -0- net book value) to Trilliant Corporation (an entity controlled by WK) for a cash payment of $5,000; and 5) disposed of certain Bluegate Healthcare Information Management Systems (“HIMS”) assets and business (consisting primarily of: a) Contracts, agreements and intellectual properties with a -0- net book value) to SAIC in exchange for a Mutual Release in Full of cer tain claims and a $1 payment to SAIC; and 6) obtained a Fairness Opinion dated November 6, 2009 presented by Convergent Capital Appraisers.

Pursuant to the State of Nevada Revised Statutes, which authorizes the taking of action by written consent of the shareholders without a meeting, a super majority of the voting power of the shareholders of Bluegate gave their consent to the above actions. During November 2009, Bluegate filed a Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C with the SEC and subsequently submitted responses to their comments. We are waiting for the SEC’s response in order to file a Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C and finalize the notice to be mailed to shareholders.

As a result of these transactions, Bluegate received $105,000 cash; reduced the secured note payable to SAIC by $100,000; paid off unsecured notes payable and accrued interest of $88,743 to MS and WK; eliminated $56,998 of accrued liabilities to MS and WK; recorded $24,234 of expenses (principally legal and professional); removed the remaining book value of fixed assets of $17,889, eliminated $43,607 of customer liabilities assumed by Sperco and the net effect of $263,484 as an increase to additional paid-in capital since the effect was treated as related party forgiveness of debt.

OUR BUSINESS PRIOR TO THE NOVEMBER 7, 2009 DISPOSITION OF CERTAIN ASSETS AND BUSINESS
Bluegate provided the nation's only Medical Grade Network® that facilitated 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 provided hospitals and physicians with a single source solution for all of their clinical integration and IT needs.  Additionally Bluegate provided IT, telecommunication, implementation project management and 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 worked 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 worked in various industry verticals providing evaluation, procurement, and implementation of IT/Telecommunications solutions for our clients.  Our Applications consulting practice provided specific applications development, enhancement, coding, and integration work for various industry verticals.

OUTSOURCING
Our outsourcing offering included help desk support and break-fix operations as well as acquisition and special financing of equipment and services.  It also included provisions for technology refresh, change management, and level of service agreements.  Our target market for such services consisted 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 were 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 enabled 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 provided affordable access to compatible medical-focused content and applications over a secure IT infrastructure to improve practice efficiency and service. We extended 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 avail ability and security and the ability to move and manage information back and forth.

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

OUR BUSINESS SUBSEQUENT TO THE NOVEMBER 7, 2009 DISPOSITION OF CERTAIN ASSETS AND BUSINESS
Bluegate consists of the networking service (carrier/circuit) business that provides internet connectivity to corporate clients on a subscription basis; essentially operating as a broker.

BLUEGATE STRATEGY
Our strategy is to stabilize our internet connectivity business and pursue expansion of our market outside of the healthcare industry.

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

OUR BUSINESS - CUSTOMERS AND VENDORS

Item 1A. 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 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 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.

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

IF WE DO NOT KEEP PACE WITH OUR COMPETITORS AND WITH TECHNOLOGY 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 and 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 both our suppliers and our computer and communications hardware systems and infrastructure. Although we have taken precautions against system failure, interruptions could result from natural disasters, 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 our 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:

LACK OF AUTHORIZED STOCK TO COVER ALL OUTSTANDING OPTIONS, WARRANTS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES
As of December 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 in 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 individual 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 entities - 5,000,000 shares.

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 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.

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.

Item 2. Properties.

We lease approximately 7,290 square feet of office space located at 701 North Post Oak Road, Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77024, for a monthly lease payment of approximately $9,000.  The lease expires in November 2013 and we are pursuing subletting unused space.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

None.

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 an d 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 Pla n 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, 2009, 1,132,685 shares of common stock have been granted pursuant to the 2005 Plan.

Item 5. Selected Financial Data.

Disclosure is not required as a result of our Company’s status as a smaller reporting company.

Item 6. 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 consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW
Bluegate consists of the networking service (carrier/circuit) business that provides internet connectivity to corporate clients on a subscription basis; essentially operating as a broker.

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 March 15, 2010, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the years ended December 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:

   
2009
   
2008
 
Net loss attributable to common shareholders
  $ ( 319,782 )   $ (1,794,546 )
Negative cash flow from operations
    (349,457 )     ( 660,290 )
Negative working capital
    (1,323,355 )     (1,398,715 )
Stockholders’ deficit
    (1,323,355 )     (1,354,334 )
 
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated 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, 2009 have been funded by loans from related parties and the disposition of certain assets and business. As of December 31, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were $27,084; total current assets were $160,617, total current liabilities were $1,483,972 and total stockholders’ deficit was $1,323,355.

We intend to use debt to cover the anticipated negative cash flows until we can operate at a break-even cash flow mode.  We may seek additional capital to fund potential costs associated with possible expansion and/or acquisitions. We believe that future funding may be obtained from public or private offerings of equity securities, debt or convertible debt securities, or other sources. Stockholders should assume that any additional funding will likely be dilutive.

Our ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to execute and deliver high quality, reliable connectivity services.  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.

Service Revenue.
The decrease in Service Revenue of $151,039 from 2007 to 2008 and $247,581 from 2008 to 2009 is due to a reduction in our networking service (carrier/circuit) business that provides internet connectivity to corporate clients on a subscription basis.

Cost of Services.
The net decrease in Cost of Services of $56,665 from 2007 to 2008 and $223,899 from 2008 to 2009 is due to a reduction in our networking service (carrier/circuit) business that provides internet connectivity to corporate clients on a subscription basis.

8

Gross Profit.
Our Gross Profit decreased $94,373 from 2007 to 2008 and decreased $23,682 from 2008 to 2009. Our Gross Profit as a percentage of Service Revenue decreased from 35% in 2007 to 28% in 2008 and increased to 41% in 2009 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 increase in SG&A of $32,563 from 2007 to 2008 is due primarily to a rent adjustment. The $74,643 decrease in SG&A from 2008 to 2009 is due primarily to the effects of additional cost control measures.

Compensation Expense.
The decrease in Compensation Expense of $2,046,941 from 2007 to 2008 is principally comprised of the following:
$ (2,514,000 )
decrease primarily related to options issued for employee services
  (143,000 )
decrease related to issuance of shares for employee compensation
  519,000  
increase related to conversion of related party debt for common stock
  109,000  
increase related to warrants issued to borrow funds from a related party
  17,000  
increase related to related party purchase of common stock for cash
       
The decrease in Compensation Expense of $1,094,682 from 2008 to 2009 is principally comprised of the following:
$ (519,000 )
decrease related to conversion of related party debt for common stock
  (416,000 )
decrease related to options issued for employee services
  (109,000 )
decrease related to warrants issued to borrow funds from a related party
  (17,000 )
decrease related to related party purchase of common stock for cash

Interest Expense.
The increase in Interest Expense of $140,552 from 2007 to 2008 was a result of the $600,000 increase in borrowings under the secured note payable to related party. The increase of $5,377 from 2008 to 2009 was primarily attributable to: (1) $200,000 increase in borrowings in February 2009 under the secured note payable to related party; and (2) offset by the $100,000 reduction of the secured note payable and suspension of interest charged for the months of November and December 2009 to related party as a result of the disposition of certain assets and business effective November 7, 2009.

Deemed Dividend on Preferred Stock.
There was no Deemed Dividend on Preferred Stock and common stock warrants issued for the years 2009 and 2008 as compared to $600,000 for the year 2007.

Gain on Derivative Financial Instruments.
In June 2008, the FASB finalized ASC 815-15, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's Own Stock". The pronouncement  lays out a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock. The pronouncement 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 pronouncement.  Bluegate estimated the fair value of these liabilities as of January 1, 2009 to be $84,000. The fair value of these liabilities was $25,000 at December 31, 2009. The $59,000 change in fair value is reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a gain on derivative financial instruments.

Net Loss from Continuing Operations.
The Net Loss from Continuing Operations decreased $2,379,453 from 2007 to 2008 and decreased $1,199,266 from 2008 to 2009 due to the items described above.

  $ 27,084     $ 11,283     $ 43,703                  


Operating Activities.
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. The decrease of $310,834 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; and (3) the effects of additional cost control measures.

Investing Activities.
The changes in the net cash used in investing activities from 2007 through 2008 are insignificant.  The increase of $128,470 from 2008 to 2009 is primarily due to $105,000 provided by the sale of fixed assets.

Financing Activities.
The net decrease of $1,094,634 in cash provided by financing activities from 2007 to 2008 is primarily due to: (1) a $605,000 decrease in investments in the company’s common stock and warrants; (2) a $600,000 decrease due to the investment in preferred stock by a related party in 2007; and (3) a $65,000 net increase in related party short term debt. The net decrease of $391,083 in cash provided by financing activities from 2008 to 2009 is primarily due to: (1) a $535,000 net decrease in related party short term debt; (2) a $95,000 decrease in investments in the company’s common stock and warrants; and (3) offset by an increase of $169,000 for employee services and resources provided to a related party and (5) decrease in payments of $69,917 on related party short term debt.

FORECAST
Bluegate consists of the networking service (carrier/circuit) business that provides internet connectivity to corporate clients on a subscription basis; essentially operating as a broker. Our strategy is to stabilize our internet connectivity business and pursue expansion of our market outside of the healthcare industry.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon consolidated 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 result s 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 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, 2009 and 2008, total deferred service revenue was $12,142 and $194,472, respectively.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Accounting Standard 718, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("ASC 718") 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 ASC 718, and accordingly, Bluegate accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718.

Bluegate accounts for share based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.

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 March 15, 2010, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the years ended December 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:
   
2009
   
2008
 
Net loss attributable to common shareholders
  $ ( 319,782 )   $ (1,794,546 )
Negative cash flow from operations
    (349,456 )     ( 660,290 )
Negative working capital
    (1,323,355 )     (1,398,715 )
Stockholders’ deficit
    (1,323,355 )     (1,354,334 )
 
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated 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, (3) issuing stock and options as compensation to certain employees and vendors in lieu of cash payments and (4) disposing of certain assets and business (see footnote 3).

These steps have provided us with the cash flows to continue our business, 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.

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, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the 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 dis closures 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, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the 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 consists of the networking service (carrier/circuit) business. It provides internet connectivity to corporate clients on a subscription basis; essentially operating as a broker.

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.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

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 6 – notes payable and footnote 8 – stockholders’ deficit, as condition to and as additional consideration for SAI Corporat ion’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.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
 STATEMENTS, CONTINUED

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

ASC 718, “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 ASC 718, and accordingly, Bluegate accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718.

Bluegate accounts for share based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50 “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 ASC 815-15 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 ASC 815-15, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 and ASC 470-20 for consideration of any beneficial conversion feature.

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 recor ded 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 ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of ASC 820 were effective January 1, 2008. ASC 820 delays the effective date for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.

As defined in ASC 820, 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. ASC 820 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 ASC 820 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 g enerally 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 December 31, 2009. As required by ASC 820, 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.

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 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, 2009 and 2008, deferred service revenue was $12,142 and $194,472 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 2009 and 2008  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, 2009 and 2008.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company implemented ASC 855, Subsequent Events. This standard establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before consolidated financial statements are issued. The adoption of ASC 855 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2009 up through February 19, 2010, the date the Company issued these consolidated financial statements. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial positions, or cash flows. 

In July 2009, the FASB issued new guidance relating to the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” at ASC 105, as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in ASC 105. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. Management evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASC 105 and the adoption of ASC 105 does not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

During 2009 and 2008, 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:
 
   
2009
   
2008
 
Net loss attributable to common shareholders
  $ (319,782 )   $ (1,794,546 )
Negative cash flow from operations
    (349,456 )     (660,290 )
Negative working capital
    (1,323,355 )     (1,398,715 )
Stockholders’ deficit
    (1,323,355 )     (1,354,334 )

These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated 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, (3) issuing stock and options as compensation to certain employees and vendors in lieu of cash payments and (4) disposing of certain assets and business (see footnote 3).

These steps have provided us with the cash flows to continue our business, 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. DISPOSITION OF CERTAIN ASSETS AND BUSINESS

In order to preserve common shareholder value, avoid bankruptcy and minimize Bluegate’s ongoing loss, effective November 7, 2009, Bluegate entered into the following transactions: 1) disposed of certain Medical Grade Network (“MGN”) assets and business and the elimination of certain liabilities (consisting primarily of: a) furniture, computers and related software and peripherals with a $17,889 book value; b)  contracts, agreements, lists of telephone and fax numbers, licenses, permits, intellectual properties, registered mark for MGN and business name of Bluegate with a -0- net book value; c) eliminated liabilities of $43,607 principally related to customer product prepays which were assumed by the purchaser) to Sperco, LLC (“Sperco”) (an entity controlled by Stephen Sperco (“SS”), our CEO/President/Director) for $200,000, with payment made by a combination of $100,000 cash and $100,000 forgiveness of debt to SAI Corporation (“SAIC”) (an entity controlled by SS), plus a net adjustment of $7,100 due to Bluegate from Sperco resulting from Bluegate’s collection of principally accounts receivable totaling $161,900 on behalf of Sperco for the period from November 8, 2009 through December 31, 2009, offset by Sperco’s payment of $169,000 to Bluegate for the personnel, facilities, tools, and resources necessary for Bluegate to support both the MGN and HIMS operations for Sperco for the same period; 2) entered into a Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with Manfred Sternberg (“MS”) (former Director/Corporate Officer), which included the elimination of $28,499 of accrued director fees and vehicle allowances in exchange for repayment of a loan plus accrued interest totaling $44,369 to MS; and 3) entered into A Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with William Koehler (“WK”) (former Director/Corporate Officer), which included the elimination of $28,499 of accrued director fees and vehicle allowances in exchange for repayment of a loan plus accrued interest totaling $44,374 with a direct payment to WK’s American Express account and a $1 payment to WK; and 4) disposed of certain Trilliant Technology Group, Inc.’s assets and business (consisting primarily of: a) Computers and related software and peripherals with a -0- net book value; b) lists of telephone and fax numbers and  intellectual properties with a -0- net book value) to Trilliant Corporation (an entity controlled by WK) for a cash payment of $5,000; and 5) disposed of certain Bluegate Healthcare Information Management Systems (“HIMS”) assets and business (consisting primarily of: a) Contracts, agreements and intellectual properties with a -0- net book value) to SAIC in exchange for a Mutual Release in Full of cer tain claims and a $1 payment to SAIC; and 6) obtained a Fairness Opinion dated November 6, 2009 presented by Convergent Capital Appraisers.

As a result of these transactions, Bluegate received $105,000 cash; reduced the secured note payable to SAIC by $100,000; paid off unsecured notes payable and accrued interest of $88,743 to MS and WK; eliminated $56,998 of accrued liabilities to MS and WK; recorded $24,234 of expenses (principally legal and professional); removed the remaining book value of fixed assets of $17,889, eliminated $43,607 of customer liabilities assumed by Sperco and the net effect of $263,484 as an increase to Additional paid-in capital since the effect was treated as related party forgiveness of debt. There was no income tax (benefit) recorded as a result of the disposition since Bluegate has sufficient unused net operating losses available.

  $ -     $ 12,800  
Notes payable to related parties:
               
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 S AIC 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. On February 23, 2009, the line of credit agreement with SAIC was amended to increase the borrowing to $1,300,000 and on February 26, 2009, Bluegate borrowed the additional $200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes. Upon Bluegate borrowing the additional $200,000, the Company agreed to pay SAIC a $20,000 origination fee.
The note payable to SAIC is due on demand and pursuant to the terms of the note; SAIC made a demand for payment during 2009.  Thirty days elapsed since SAIC made demand for payment and we were unable to repay SAIC.  This debt was in default in the principal amount of $1,300,000. Effective November 7, 2009, as a result of the Company entering into an Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell certain Bluegate Corporation Medical Grade Network (“MGN”) and Healthcare Information Management Systems (“HIMS”) assets to Sperco, LLC (a company controlled by Stephen Sperco) and SAIC, respectively, the principal amount of the SAIC debt was reduced to $1,200,000 as a result of $100,000 debt forgiveness and SAIC rescinded its demand for payment. See Disposition of Certain Assets and Business footnote 3.< /font>

7. INCOME TAXES

The composition of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were as follows:

Deferred tax assets
 
2009
   
2008
 
Benefit from carryforward of net operating loss
  $ 2,170,000     $ 2,135,000  
Less valuation allowance
    (2,170,000 )     (2,135,000 )
Net deferred tax asset
  $ -     $ -  

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 2009 and 2008 is attributable to the valuation allowance.

At December 31, 2009, for federal income tax and alternative minimum tax reporting purposes, the Company has $6,383,000 in unused net operating losses available for carryforward to future years which will expire in various years through 2029. 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 8 - Series C Preferred Stock).

8. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

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.

On 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 common shares at $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 common shares at $0.17 per share expiring in June 2012. Mr. Sperco is our CEO and a director. On 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 common shares at $0.1 7 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 ASC 815-20 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and ASC 815-15 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 ASC 815-20 and ASC 815-15.

In accordance with ASC 470-20 , 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 7 – Income Taxes).

STOCK OPTION PLANS

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

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

In 2005 the Company adopted the 2005 Stock and Stock Option Plan. The purpose of the 2005 plan is to further our interests, our Subsidiaries and our stockholders by providing incentives in the form of stock options to key employees, consultants, directors and others who contribute materially to our success and profitability. The grants recognize and reward outstanding individual performances and contributions and will give such persons a proprietary interest in us, thus enhancing their personal interest in our continued success and progress.  The 2005 Plan also assists us and our subsidiaries in attracting and retaining key employees and Directors and is administered by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has the exclusive power to select the participants, to establish the terms of the stock and options granted to each participant, provided that all options granted shall be granted at an exercise price equal to at least 85% of the fair market value of the common stock covered by the option on the grant date and to make all determinations necessary or advisable under the 2005 plan. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted or optioned and sold under the plan is 3,000,000 shares. As of December 31, 2009, 1,132,685 shares of common stock have been granted.

During 2009 and 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 ASC 718.

As of December 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 in 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 exercis e or convert but cannot because we do not have enough unissued common stock available for issuance. However, the following individual 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 entities - 5,000,000 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 ASC 718.
 
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 6, 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.

F-16


 
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.

Stock options issued for services:

(6) During the year ended December 31, 2008, Bluegate expensed $412,382 related to previously issued stock options that vested during the period.

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 ASC 718.

9. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Embedded feature of equity-linked financial instrument:

In June 2008, the FASB finalized ASC 815-15, "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 accountin g principle in our consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit. The fair value of these liabilities was $25,000 at December 31, 2009. The $59,000 change in fair value is reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a gain 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 220% to 330%; risk-free interest rates of 5.0%; and expected terms based on the contractual term.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

BLUEGATE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
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 ASC 450 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 ASC 4505 Bluegate had not accrued the amount of disputed salaries as of December 31, 2008. As a result of the Company entering into a Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with Manfred Sternberg and William Koehler effective November 7, 2009, these disputed salaries were included in the releases and are no longer valid. See Disposition of Certain Assets and Business footnote 3.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 c redit 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. O n 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.

Upon Bluegate borrowing the additional $200,000, the Company agreed to pay SAIC a $20,000 origination fee.

The note payable to SAIC is due on demand and pursuant to the terms of the note; SAIC made a demand for payment during 2009.  Thirty days elapsed since SAIC made demand for payment and we were unable to repay SAIC and, as a result, this debt was in default in the principal amount of $1,300,000. Effective November 7, 2009, as a result of the Company entering into an Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell certain Bluegate Corporation Medical Grade Network (“MGN”) and Healthcare Information Management Systems (“HIMS”) assets to Sperco, LLC (a company controlled by Stephen Sperco) and SAIC, respectively, the principal amount of the SAIC debt was reduced to $1,200,000 and SAIC rescinded its demand for payment. Additionally, interest on the note payable to SAIC was suspended from November 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010. See Disposition of Certain Assets and Business footnote 3.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company owed $1,200,000 and $1,100,000, respectively.

During 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred interest expense on the related party note payable debt of $187,808 and $116,712, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, $26,562 and $14,014 is payable to SAIC and included under the caption accrued liabilities to related parties totaling $73,337 and $98,855, respectively on the balance sheet.

Bluegate Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting included policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; (2) provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of Bluegate Corporation; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Bluegate Corporation’ assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statement s.
 
Because of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of Bluegate Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, management has concluded that Bluegate Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.
 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.


Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(1) The percentage of beneficial ownership of Common Stock is based on 26,033,565 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 26, 2010 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 7,238,868 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) 3,335,000 are common shares issuable upon the exercise of options and warrants.
             
(3) Of the 4,925,117 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Koehler: (i) 2,735,117 are common shares owned directly by Mr. Koehler, and (ii) 2,190,000 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 th e 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 c onversion-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 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.
             
(7) 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.
(8) 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 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.

Upon Bluegate borrowing the additional $200,000, the Company agreed to pay SAIC a $20,000 origination fee.

The note payable to SAIC is due on demand and pursuant to the terms of the note; SAIC made a demand for payment during 2009.  Thirty days elapsed since SAIC made demand for payment and we were unable to repay SAIC and, as a result, this debt was in default in the principal amount of $1,300,000.

Additionally, interest on the note payable to SAIC was suspended from November 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010. See Disposition of Certain Assets and Business footnote 3.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company engaged in equity transactions as follows:

Effective November 7, 2009, Bluegate entered into the following transactions: 1) disposed of certain Medical Grade Network (“MGN”) assets and business and the elimination of certain liabilities (consisting primarily of: a) furniture, computers and related software and peripherals with a $17,889 book value; b)  contracts, agreements, lists of telephone and fax numbers, licenses, permits, intellectual properties, registered mark for MGN and business name of Bluegate with a -0- net book value; c) eliminated liabilities of $43,607 principally related to customer product prepays which were assumed by the purchaser) to Sperco, LLC (“Sperco”) (an entity controlled by Stephen Sperco (“SS”), our CEO/President/Director) for $200,000, with payment made by a combination of $100,000 cash and $100,000 f orgiveness of debt to SAI Corporation (“SAIC”) (an entity controlled by SS), plus a net adjustment of $7,100 due to Bluegate from Sperco resulting from Bluegate’s collection of principally accounts receivable totaling $161,900 on behalf of Sperco for the period from November 8, 2009 through December 31, 2009, offset by Sperco’s payment of $169,000 to Bluegate for the personnel, facilities, tools, and resources necessary for Bluegate to support both the MGN and HIMS operations for Sperco for the same period; 2) entered into a Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with Manfred Sternberg (“MS”) (former Director/Corporate Officer), which included the elimination of $28,499 of accrued director fees and vehicle allowances in exchange for repayment of a loan plus accrued interest totaling $44,369 to MS; and 3) entered into A Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with William Koehler (“WK”) (former Director/Corporate Offi cer), which included the elimination of $28,499 of accrued director fees and vehicle allowances in exchange for repayment of a loan plus accrued interest totaling $44,374 with a direct payment to WK’s American Express account and a $1 payment to WK; and 4) disposed of certain Trilliant Technology Group, Inc.’s assets and business (consisting primarily of: a) Computers and related software and peripherals with a -0- net book value; b) lists of telephone and fax numbers and  intellectual properties with a -0- net book value) to Trilliant Corporation (an entity controlled by WK) for a cash payment of $5,000; and 5) disposed of certain Bluegate Healthcare Information Management Systems (“HIMS”) assets and business (consisting primarily of: a) Contracts, agreements and intellectual properties with a -0- net book value) to SAIC in exchange for a Mutual Release in Full of certain claims and a $1 payment to SAIC; and 6) obtained a Fairness Opinion dated November 6, 2009 presented by Convergent Capital Appraisers.

Additionally the agreement provided for Sperco, LLC to contract the services of Bluegate employees and resources from November 8, 2009 through December 31, 2009 for $169,000 and the $169,000 was treated as an increase to Additional paid-in capital.
38

As of December 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 in 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 exercis e or convert but cannot because we do not have enough unissued common stock available for issuance. However, the following individual 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 entities - 5,000,000 shares.
 
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

In June 2007, we increased the size of our Board of Directors to consist of five Directors. We currently have two members of our Board of Directors, who were elected and hold office until their successors are elected and qualified. There are three vacancies. The two members of the Board of Directors are Stephen Sperco and Charles Leibold. Effective July 30, 2009, Stephen Sperco was appointed Chairman of the Board and the titles of CEO and President were combined, and Stephen Sperco was appointed President.
