NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED

1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Bluegate Corporation, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Bluegate's Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  Notes to the financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2006 as reported in the Form 10-KSB have been omitted.

EMBEDDED CONVERSION FEATURES

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

RECLASSIFICATIONS

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

2.
GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, Bluegate has been unable to generate cash flows sufficient to support its operations and has been dependent on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors. In addition to negative cash flow from operations, Bluegate has experienced recurring net losses, and has a negative working capital and shareholders’ deficit.

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

3.

EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Bluegate completed the following equity transactions:

PREFERRED STOCK:

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

Effective June 28, 2007, we sold 8 shares of Series C preferred stock for $100,000 in cash to SAI Corporation ("SAI"), a corporation controlled by Stephen Sperco ("Sperco"). We also granted to SAI warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share expiring in June 2012. On the same day we sold 40 shares of Series C preferred stock for $500,000 in cash to Sperco. We also granted to Sperco warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share expiring in June 2012. Mr. Sperco is our CEO and a director.

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.

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

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

The warrants issued in this transaction are subject to a registration rights agreement which requires 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 are not registered. As of June 30, 2007 there is no liability related to the registration rights agreements. As of June 30, 2007 if the shares remain unregistered for the remainder of the months applicable to these investments, Bluegate may be required pay total liquidated damages of $189,000 in the form of common stock.

As a result of this transaction, net operating losses accumulated up through the change in control will be limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 due to the change in control.

COMMON STOCK:

Issuance of common stock and warrants for cash:

(1) During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, we issued 800,000 shares of common stock, warrants for 800,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and warrants for 400,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, for $400,000 in connection with a private placement of our securities. The relative fair value of the stock and warrants in these transactions were $108,576 and $291,424, respectively.

The warrants issued in the transactions recorded in the period from July 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007 are subject to a registration rights agreement which required Bluegate to register the underlying shares by June 30, 2007 or pay liquidated damages of 1.5% of the purchase price of the investment each month the shares are not registered. As of June 30, 2007 there is no liability related to the registration rights agreements recorded in the period July 1, 2006 through March 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2007 if the shares remain unregistered for the remainder of the months applicable to these investments, Bluegate may be required pay total liquidated damages of $464,655 in the form of common stock.

Bluegate used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options and warrants using the following assumptions: number of options as set forth in the option agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility of 202%; risk-free interest rates of 5.0%; and the average of the option terms as set forth in the options agreements.

5.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In July 2007, we issued 600,000 shares of common stock and warrants for 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.17 per share for $300,000 in connection with a private sale of our securities to two officers of Bluegate, Manfred Sternberg, Chief Strategy Officer and William Koehler, President and COO and one other investor. The fair value of the warrants was $553,805 on the date of issuance. Because the warrants were granted to related parties and the exercise price on the grant date was below the market price of our stock, we expensed $553,805 in July 2007 related to these transactions.


ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  as of June 30, 2007 and for the six months then ended, should be read in conjunction  with the audited financial statements and notes thereto set forth in our annual report on  Form 10-KSB for 2006.

In addition to the forward-looking statements contained  in this Form 10-QSB, the following forward-looking factors could cause our future results to  differ materially from our forward-looking statements: competition, capital resources, credit  resources, funding, government compliance and market acceptance of our products and services.

ABOUT US
Bluegate provides the nation's only Medical Grade Network® that allows hospitals and physicians to achieve physician and clinical integration by communicating in a secure private environment, improving patient care. As a leader in the healthcare industry of outsourced IT solutions and remote management services, Bluegate provides hospitals and physicians with a single source solution for all clinical integration and IT needs. Additionally Bluegate provides IT consulting through its professional services division and HIPAA-compliant, turnkey managed security services and interoperability solutions across its Medical Grade Network® for hospitals, physicians and other healthcare facilities.

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® - 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. There is rapidly increasing demand for our  networks, technologies, remote management and professional IT services, largely as the result  of increasing pressure for health care providers to adopt electronic health records and the  favorable health care IT environment created by the Stark Law exceptions.
 
 
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 hospitals credentialed physicians must be on a common HIPAA compliant network. Once the hospital has installed the necessary secure electronic connectivity behind their firewall, the "last mile" of connectivity, the figurative distance from the telecommunication provider's switch to an end user (i.e. the physician), still presents a major challenge. In addition to being HIPAA-compliant, the networks also need to be interoperable, which requires assessing and augmenting physicians' existing IT equipment and resources. Adequate training and technical  support is necessary to ensure the highest possible network availability and security and the ability to move and manage information back and forth.

Today, Bluegate’s offering singularly solves a particularly vexing piece of the  HIPAA requirement and the “last mile” challenges of a NHIN by connecting the individual  physician's practice to this secured network. As a result, Bluegate is positioning itself,  through its Medical Grade Network®, to provide HIPAA compliant connectivity to the NHIN  linking physician practices, hospitals and insurance companies to a secure network. 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 strategies are 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 benefits 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 may be:

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

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

GOING CONCERN
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 12, 2007 (included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006), which raises substantial doubt about our  ability to continue as a going concern.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, and the year ended December 31, 2006, 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 six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we experienced negative financial results as follows:
 
   
Six Months Ended June 30,
 
   
2007
   
2006
 
             
Net loss attributable to common shareholders
  $ (3,763,240 )   $ (2,386,373 )
Negative cash flow from operations
    (1,073,458 )     (883,630 )
Negative working capital
    (1,369,237 )     (1,705,074 )
Stockholders' deficit
    (1,267,823 )     (1,523,785 )

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 JUNE 30, 2007 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED  JUNE 30, 2006
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, our revenue was $1,807,255  versus $814,846 for the three month period ended June 30, 2006. This  represents an increase of $992,409 and is primarily attributable to our  professional service business and our efforts to market our Medical Grade Network® business.
 
Our cost of services for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $1,009,975  compared to $344,151 for the three months ended June 30,2006. The increase  in cost of services of $665,824 is due to the increase in the costs  associated with the increase in our professional service business and  interconnect fees and costs associated with the expansion of our Medical  Grade Network® services.
 
Our gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $797,280  compared to $470,695 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our gross  margin as a percentage of sales decreased to 44% for the three months ended  June 30, 2007 from 58% for the three months ended June 30, 2006 due to an  increase in the cost of products and services purchased in the second quarter  of 2007.
 
We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $413,685  for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $393,870 for the three  months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in SG&A of $19,815 was negligible.

We incurred compensation expense of $1,462,358 for the three months ended  June 30, 2007 compared to $1,236,168 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.  The increase in compensation expense of $226,190 is primarily due to the  expansion of our sales and marketing efforts and recording stock option  expenses as a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 123R in 2006.
 
We incurred a net loss of $1,087,034 for the three months ended June 30, 2007  compared to a net loss of $1,373,837 for the three months ended June 30, 2006.  The decrease of $286,803 is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest  expense.

The net loss attributable to common shareholders was $1,687,034 for the three  months ended June 30, 2007 due to a deemed dividend of $600,000 on preferred  shares and common stock warrants issued.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007 AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

During the six months ended June 30, 2007 our revenue was $3,168,322 versus $1,750,495 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $1,417,827 and is and is primarily attributable to our  professional service business and our efforts to market our Medical Grade  Network® business.

Our cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $1,743,487  compared to $766,891 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase  in cost of services of $976,596 is due to the increase in the costs  associated with the increase in our professional service business and  interconnect fees and costs associated with the expansion of our Medical  Grade Network® services.

Our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $1,424,835 compared to $983,604 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 45% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 56% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 due to an  increase in the cost of products and services purchased in the second quarter  of 2007.

We incurred SG&A of $1,281,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared  to $871,769 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in SG&A of $409,375  is primarily attributable to the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts.

We incurred compensation expense of $3,259,483 for the six months ended  June 30, 2007 compared to $2,024,542 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.  The increase in compensation expense of $1,234,941 is primarily due to the  expansion of our sales and marketing efforts and recording stock option  expenses as a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 123R in 2006.

We incurred a net loss of $3,163,240 for the six months ended June 30, 2007  compared to a net loss of $2,386,373 for the six months ended June 30, 2006.   The increase of $776,867 is due to a decrease in interest expense and to the  expansion of our sales and marketing efforts and an increase in stock option  expenses as a result of our adoption of SFAS No. 123R in 2006.

The net loss attributable to common shareholders was $3,763,240 for the six  months ended June 30, 2007 due to a deemed dividend of $600,000 on preferred  shares and common stock warrants issued.

FORECAST OF GROWTH IN OUR MEDICAL GRADE NETWORK® CUSTOMER BASE

At June 30, 2007, we had approximately 1,100 Medical Grade Network® customers.   We are forecasting an increase in the number of Medical Grade Network® customers  through 2007.

During 2006 we commenced our national marketing efforts to hospital systems and  recently have been successful in securing two initial projects for hospitals outside  of Texas. We expect to announce additional successes in the near future and, as a  result, we believe that our revenue growth will accelerate in 2007.

The exceptions to the Stark Law that were made in the latter part of 2006 are creating  an ideal business environment for Bluegate in 2007 and beyond, and are contributing to  the continued expansion of our sales pipeline for our Medical Grade Network® and health  care IT services and solutions to healthcare systems and physician practices.

As projected in early 2006, we made our first expansion outside the state of Texas in 2006  and we continued our growth within Texas with the addition of several clients. Our operational  focus for 2007 continues to be the build out of the Houston market and strategic expansion to  additional markets in Texas and other regions of the country. There is rapidly increasing  demand for our networks, technologies, remote management and professional IT services, largely  as the result of increasing pressure for health care providers to adopt electronic health  records and the favorable health care IT environment created by the Stark Law exceptions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 have been funded by the   issuance of common stock and options for cash in private transactions and loans from related parties. Bluegate has continued to take steps to reduce its  monthly operating expenses relating to its core business and has expanded its  efforts in creating a market for the health care industry.

As of June 30, 2007, our cash on hand was $19,378; total current assets were  $497,667, total current liabilities were $1,866,904 and total stockholders’ deficit  was $1,267,823.

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 include the sale of certain assets, reduction in the scope of  current operations or the cessation 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


ITEM 3.
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), our principal executive officer and principal 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 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. Our Chief Financial Officer has implemented revisions and instituted certain checks and balances to our accounting system.
