BLUEGATE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Bluegate Corporation, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Bluegate's Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-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 nine months ended September 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.   NOTES PAYABLE

Notes payable at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are summarized below:

4.   EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

During the nine months ended September 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.

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

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

The warrants issued in this transaction were subject to a registration rights agreement which required Bluegate to register the underlying shares by September 28, 2007 or pay liquidated damages of 1.5% of the purchase price of the investment each month the shares were not registered. We filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement which was effective as of August 30, 2007 with respect to these securities. As of September 30, 2007 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 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.

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

(3)    In September 2007, as a result of the preferred stock transaction described above, certain adjustment provisions in Bluegate’s previous convertible note agreements and warrant agreements issued in September 2005 and subsequently, were triggered.

ITEM  2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we experienced negative financial results as follows:
 
   
Nine Months Ended September 30,
 
   
2007
   
2006
 
             
Net loss attributable to common shareholders
  $ (5,014,532 )   $ (4,042,842 )
Negative cash flow from operations
    (1,492,073 )     (1,259,067 )
Negative working capital
    (762,935 )     (1,442,454 )
Stockholders' deficit
    (679,831 )     (1,233,730 )

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2007, our revenue was $1,280,525 versus $944,537 for the three month period ended September 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $335,988 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 September 30, 2007 was $717,873 compared to $408,596 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increases in cost of services of $309,277 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 three months ended September 30, 2007 was $562,652 compared to $535,941 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 44% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 57% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 due to an increase in the cost of products and services purchased in the third quarter of 2007.
 
We incurred selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $154,816 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $309,918 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in SG&A of $155,102 was due primarily as a result of implementing our cost reduction measures during the third quarter of 2007.

We incurred compensation expense of $1,646,903 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1,623,425 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in compensation expense of $23,478 is primarily due to recording the fair value of warrants granted where the market price of our stock was greater than the exercise price partially offset by the effects of a reduction in options granted to employees.
 
We incurred a net loss of $1,251,292 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to a net loss of $1,656,469 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease of $405,177 is attributable to a reduction in interest expense and implementation of our cost reduction measures during the third quarter of 2007.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AS COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 our revenue was $4,448,847 versus $2,695,032 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $1,753,815 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $2,461,360 compared to $1,175,487 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increases in cost of services of $1,285,873 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 nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1,987,487 compared to $1,519,545 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 due to an increase in the cost of products and services purchased during the nine months ending September 30, 2007.

We incurred SG&A of $1,435,960 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1,186,606 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in SG&A of $249,354 was due primarily to the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts partially offset by the implementation of our cost reduction measures during the third quarter of 2007.

We incurred compensation expense of $4,906,386 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $3,643,048 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in compensation expense of $1,263,338 is primarily due to recording the fair value of warrants granted where the market price of our stock was greater than the exercise price, as well as additional personnel costs associated with the expansion of our Medical Grade Network® and professional services.

We incurred a net loss of $4,414,532 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to a net loss of $4,042,842 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase of $371,690 is due to the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts, an increase in stock option expenses and partially offset by the decrease in interest expense and the implementation our cost reduction measures during the third quarter of 2007.
 

The net loss attributable to common shareholders was $5,014,532 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to a deemed dividend of $600,000 on preferred shares and common stock warrants issued during the second quarter of 2007.

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

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

At September 30, 2007, we had approximately 1,100 Medical Grade Network® customers which we forecast will remain constant through the remainder of 2007. In October 2007, one of the healthcare systems that we contracted with to provide managed security services to their physicians, notified their physicians that effective January 1, 2008 they would no longer subsidize those costs. Through a joint effort with that healthcare system, we are in the process of contacting those physicians and offering uninterrupted service for their practices. We anticipate the effects of this effort will not be known until the first quarter of 2008.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 have been funded by the issuance of preferred and common stock and options for cash in private transactions and loans from related parties. Bluegate has continued to take steps to reduce its monthly operating expenses relating to its core business and has expanded its efforts in creating a market for its Professional Services organization.

As of September 30, 2007, our cash on hand was $30,018; total current assets were $402,953, total current liabilities were $1,165,888 and total stockholders’ deficit was $679,831. Until the company achieves a net positive cash flow from operations, three of the company’s executive officers have agreed not to cash their payroll or expense reimbursement checks issued to them since July 1, 2007. As of September 30, 2007 approximately $117,000 of payroll and expense reimbursement checks have not been cashed and is included under the caption accrued liabilities totaling $190,780 on the balance sheet.

We intend to use debt to cover the anticipated negative cash flow during the Fourth Quarter of 2007.  By March 2008 we project to be operating in a positive cash flow mode.  We are seeking additional capital to fund potential costs associated with expansion and/or acquisitions. We believe that future funding may be obtained from public or private offerings of equity securities, debt or convertible debt securities or other sources. Stockholders should assume that any additional funding will likely be dilutive.

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

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

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

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 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 certain adjustments required by our auditors in the area of equity. Specifically, our independent auditors identified deficiencies in our internal controls and disclosure controls related to recording stock-based compensation expense. Appropriate adjustments 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. Our Chief Financial Officer has implemented revisions and instituted certain checks and balances to our accounting system. Additionally, he has addressed tighter controls over all aspects of financial revenue and expense recognition, as well as improving supervision and training of our accounting staff. We are continuing our efforts to enhance, improve and strengthen our control processes and procedures. 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, our Chief Financial Officer has implemented revisions and instituted certain checks and balances to our accounting system. Additionally, he continues to address tighter controls over all aspects of financial revenue and expense recognition, as well as improving supervision and training of our accounting staff.

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.
