ACQUISITION OF TRILLIANT CORPORATION ASSETS

On September 15, 2005, Bluegate acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain ongoing contractual obligations of Trilliant Corporation, a company that provides assessment, design, vendor selection, procurement and project management for large technology initiatives, particularly in the healthcare arena. The acquisition will strengthen Bluegate as a competitor in the technology management industry. The purchase price consisted of $161,033 cash and 258,302 shares of Bluegate's common stock valued at $180,811. The asset sale and purchase agreement provides for additional consideration up to 827,160 common shares depending on the acquired business' revenue over the next two years and royalty payments based on sales over the next two years of certain software acquired. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired at September 15, 2005 are as follows:

COMMON STOCK, OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, Bluegate had the following equity transactions:

In January 2006 we issued an option to purchase 546,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share to an employee. The option has a market value of $332,235 on the date of grant and expires in January 2011. Bluegate expensed $41,529 during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 related to this option.

During February 2006 we issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock to a consultant for services rendered. The common stock had a market value of $104,000 on the date of issuance. Bluegate expensed $104,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 related to this option.

In February 2006 we issued 50,000 shares of common stock to one investor upon the conversion of the investor's warrant. We received proceeds of $50,000 from the exercise of the warrant.

In March 2006 we issued 1,418,660 shares of our common stock in conjunction with the conversion of 110.242 shares of our Series A Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred stock. As a result of this transaction, there are no remaining shares of our Series A Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred stock outstanding.

In February and March 2006 we issued 273,333 shares of stock, warrants for 273,333 shares of our common stock at a exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 136,667 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for cash consideration of $205,000 in connection with a private placement of our securities.

On March 31, 2006 we closed on the aforementioned private placement of our common stock. In conjunction with this transaction, certain adjustment provisions contained in the Company's convertible notes payable warrants issued in September 2005 were triggered. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 666,667 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share was reduced to $0.75 per share. We are required to file a registration statement for the underlying shares within 90 days from the date the transaction closed.

In March 2006 a consultant returned, and the Company cancelled, 133,000 shares of common stock that was previously issued to the consultant as compensation. The consultant also agreed to forfeit an option to purchase 41,250 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share. The fair value of the stock cancelled was $87,780. The company reversed $26,290 of compensation expense related to the option which was previously recorded.

Bluegate used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options using the following assumptions: proceeds as set forth in the option agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility of 250%; risk-free interest rates of 5.0%; and expected lives of 3-5 years.

 
5.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2006 we exercised our option to extend the due date of the aforementioned convertible notes payable by 90 days to July 31, 2006. As a result, we issued warrants to purchase 349,866 shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share to the note holders, as required by the note agreement. We valued the warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the same assumptions that we used to value stock options. As a result, we recorded interest expense of $177,735 in connection with this transaction.

In April 2006, the net borrowings from related parties increased by $49,000. These loans will be paid back within one year.

ABOUT US

Bluegate provides IT consulting, outsourcing, systems integration, applications development and managed security solutions for the health care industry.

CONSULTING PRACTICE
 
Health care institutions have very unique requirements not found in a typical commercial environment. Our consulting practice works with medium to large medical facilities and systems on evaluation, procurement and implementation of voice, data, video, infrastructure and applications for the health care environment. Our applications group also performs specific applications development, enhancement , coding and integration work for these projects when requested by our customers.

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

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

TWO-FOLD MARKET OPPORTUNITY

HIPAA COMPLIANCE FOR PHYSICIAN PRACTICES
 
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 health care 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 health care system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange in health care.
 

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

In order to access and use the NHIN, individual physicians must have the appropriate information technology environment at their offices, and the hospitals where they admit patients. Further, the hospital's 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 and providing adequate training and technical support to ensure the highest possible network availability and security and the ability to move and manage information back and forth.


Today, Bluegate's offering singularly solves a particularly vexing piece of the HIPAA requirement and the "last mile" challenges of a NHIN: connecting the individual physician's practice to this secured network. As a result, Bluegate has ambitions to provide its Bluegate Medical Grade Network as the beginning national "grid" that all vested parties in the HIPAA initiative turn to when the concern of connecting physicians to the hospital and the insurance companies in a secured manner is addressed. As a result, Bluegate, has acquired and deployed significant resources towards this national opportunity. Bluegate began its business installing Medical Grade Networks in Houston, Texas in late 2004 and 2005. We are in active contract negotiations with health care entities in Texas and around the country to design, develop and deploy networks that are based upon the success of those deployed in Houston, Texas.

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

COMPETITION

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

The Internet, VPN and data services market is extremely competitive, highly fragmented and has grown dramatically in recent years. The market is characterized by the absence of significant barriers to entry and the rapid growth in Internet and VPN usage among customers. Other competitors are:

 
-
Access and content providers, such as AOL, Microsoft , EarthLink and Time Warner;

 
-
Local, regional and national Internet service providers, such as Megapath, EarthLink, XO Communications and Mindspring;

 
-
Regional, national and international telecommunications companies, such as AT&T, MCI and Allegiance Telecom;

 
-
On-line services offered by incumbent cable providers such as Time Warner;

 
-
DSL providers such as Covad.

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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

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

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

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized based upon contractually determined monthly service charges to individual customers. Services are billed in advance and, accordingly, revenues are deferred until the period in which the services are provided.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

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

GENERAL

We remain dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of our operations. Our independent auditors included a going concern qualification in their report dated March 16, 2006 (included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005).

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, 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.
 

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we experienced negative financial results as follows:

(982,973

We have supported current operations by: 1) raising additional operating cash through the private sale of our common stock and options, 2) selling convertible notes and 3) issuing stock and options as compensation to certain employees and vendors in lieu of cash payments. In addition, we are seeing a positive revenue growth trend, which is also increasingly contributing to reducing our operating deficit.

These steps have provided us with the cash flows to continue our business plan, and the improved operating revenue is resulting in some improvement in our financial position. We are taking steps to improve our cash flow situation that include raising capital through additional sale of our common and preferred stock and/or debt securities.

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

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

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

Our operations are located in Houston, Texas. Our business consists of the sales and marketing of our HIPAA compliant VPN and HIPAA application software and related services.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2006 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2005

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, our revenue was $935,649 versus $465,831 for the three month period ended March 31, 2005. This represents an increase of $469,818 and is primarily attributable to our acquisition of the assets of Trilliant Corp. and our efforts to market BLUEGATE(TM), our core business.

Our cost of sales (cost of services) for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $422,740 compared to $188,011 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in cost of sales of $234,729 is due to higher interconnect fees and costs associated with the expansion of our BLUEGATE(TM) services.

Our gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $512,909 compared to $277,820 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Our gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased from 60% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 to 55% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to an increase in our variable costs as we expanded our HIPAA business in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in gross margin of $235,089 was attributable to a corresponding increase in sales.

We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,266,273 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $1,153,397 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in SG&A of $112,876 is attributable to the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts in 2006.

We incurred a net loss of $(1,012,536) for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to a net loss of $(1,796,444) for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The decrease of $783,908 is primarily due to a charge to income of $892,882 in 2005 upon the conversion of notes payable to common stock. After taking this charge into account, our net loss increased by $108,974. This increase is due to an increase in stock option related expenses of $186,248 due to our adoption of SFAS No. 123R during the first quarter of 2006.


FORECAST OF GROWTH IN OUR HIPAA CUSTOMER BASE
 
At March 31, 2006, we had 1,020 HIPAA customers. We are forecasting only a marginal increase in the number of HIPAA customers through 2006. We have shifted our focus towards increasing our outsourced IT services to our existing physician customer base. Our goal is to increase the amount of revenue we obtain from each physician we serve.

We have also initiated an aggressive effort to expand our Bluegate network beyond Houston. Although we have opened up a number of discussions with Hospital groups on other markets, we have no assurances we will be successful in these efforts.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 have been funded by the issuance of common stock and options for cash in private transactions and loans from related parties. The Company has continued to take steps to reduce its monthly operating expenses relating to its core business and has expanded its efforts in creating a market for the health care industry.

Our cash on hand at March 31, 2006 was $356,085.

We are seeking additional capital to fund expected operating costs. 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.

If we are unable to raise additional funding, we may have to limit our operations to an extent that we cannot presently determine. The effect of this on our business may require the sale of assets, the reduction or curtailment of new customer acquisition, reduction in the scope of current operations or the curtailment of business operations.

Our ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to raise additional operating capital, the continued growth in demand for connectivity services and 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.

Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the following:

 
-
The cost of operating our VPN
 
-
The cost of third-party software
 
-
The cost of sales and marketing
 
-
The rate at which we expand our operations
 
-
The response of competitors
 
-
Capital expenditures

 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15e under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")), our principle executive officer and principle financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, because of several adjustments required by our auditors predominantly in the areas of debt and equity. Specifically, our independent auditors identified deficiencies in our internal controls and disclosure controls related to the valuation of discounts for convertible debt with detachable warrants, expense recognition and issuances of our stock and stock options. Appropriate adjustments and footnote disclosures have been recorded and disclosed in our Interim Report on Form 10-QSB. We are in the process of improving our internal controls in an effort to remediate these deficiencies through the following efforts: 1) employing a full time controller who is a CPA and has public company and operational experience, 2) implementing better controls and procedures over debt valuation, expense recognition and stock and stock option issuances, and 3) improving supervision and training of our accounting staff. We are continuing our efforts to improve and strengthen our control processes and procedures to fully remedy these deficiencies. Our management and directors will continue to work with our auditors and other outside advisors to ensure that our controls and procedures are adequate and effective.
 
 
(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter under report, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
The evaluation of our disclosure controls included a review of whether there were any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of such controls and procedures, material weaknesses in such controls and procedures, any corrective actions taken with regard to such deficiencies and weaknesses and any fraud involving management or other employees with a significant role in such controls and procedures.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting other than those disclosed above.
 



LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a party in the following litigation:

Bluegate Corporation v. the Navi-Gates Corporation and Robert C. Weslock, Cause No. 2005-00534, In the 234th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. We recently filed this lawsuit, claiming breach of contract, deceptive trade practices and fraud. A court date has been scheduled for October 2006.
 
ITEM 2.
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

We issued unregistered securities in transactions summarized below.

In March 2006 we issued 80,000 shares of stock, warrants for 80,000 shares of our common stock at a exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 40,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for cash consideration of $60,000 in connection with a private placement of our securities. We issued these securities in reliance on Regulation D Rule 506 of the Act. This was a transaction by us as issuer that did not involve a public offering. We believe that the purchaser was knowledgeable about our operations and financial condition. We believe that the purchaser had the knowledge and experience in financial and business matters which allowed it to evaluate the merits and risk of receipt of our securities.

On March 31, 2006 we closed on the aforementioned private placement of our common stock. In conjunction with this transaction, certain adjustment provisions contained in the Company's convertible notes payable warrants issued in September 2005 were triggered. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 666,667 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share was reduced to $0.75 per share. We are required to file a registration statement for the underlying shares within 90 days from the date the transaction closed.

In March 2006 a consultant returned, and the Company cancelled, 133,000 shares of common stock that was previously issued to the consultant as compensation. The consultant also agreed to forfeit an option to purchase 41,250 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share. The fair value of the stock cancelled was $87,780. The company reversed $26,290 of compensation expense related to the option which was previously recorded.

In April 2006 we exercised our option to extend the due date of the aforementioned convertible notes payable by 90 days to July 31, 2006. As a result, we issued warrants to purchase 349,866 shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share to the note holders, as required by the note agreement.
 

OTHER INFORMATION

On March 31, 2006 we closed on the aforementioned private placement of our common stock. In conjunction with this transaction, certain adjustment provisions contained in the Company's convertible notes payable warrants issued in September 2005 were triggered. Pursuant to the adjustment provisions, the exercise price of the previously issued warrants to purchase 666,667 shares of our common stock at $1.00 per share was reduced to $0.75 per share. We are required to file a registration statement for the underlying shares within 90 days from the date the transaction closed.

In April 2006 we exercised our option to extend the due date of our 10% convertible notes payable by 90 days from April 30, 2006 to July 31, 2006. As a result, we issued warrants to purchase 349,866 shares of our common stock at $0.75 per share to the note holders, as required by the note agreement.
