BLUEGATE
CORPORATION
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
1. BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Bluegate Corporation,
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes thereto contained in Bluegate's Annual Report filed with
the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods
presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year. Notes to the financial statements which substantially
duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for
fiscal 2008 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
Bluegate
does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or
foreign currency risks. Bluegate evaluates all of it financial
instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features
that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial
instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is
initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting
date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to
income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, Bluegate
uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments
at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative
instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as
liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting
period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the
balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash
settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of
the balance sheet date.
FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS
In
September 2006, the FASB issued ASC 820 (previously SFAS 157) 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. The FASB has also issued Staff Position (FSP) SFAS 157-2
(FSP No. 157-2), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for
nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at
least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2008.
As
defined in 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 generally include
non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps,
options and collars.
Level 3 –
Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable
from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed
methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair
value.
F-5
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 September 30, 2009. As required by SFAS 157, financial assets and
liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of
the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires
judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and
their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The
derivatives listed above are carried at fair value. The fair value amounts in
current period earnings associated with the Company’s derivatives resulted from
Level 2 fair value methodologies; that is, the Company is able to value the
assets and liabilities based on observable market data for similar instruments.
This observable data includes the quoted market prices and estimated volatility
factors.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
We have
reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current year’s
presentation.
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
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 September 30, 2009 up through
November 16, 2009, the date the Company issued these 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 is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASC 105 but
does not expect the adoption of ASC 105 to impact the Company’s results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
2. GOING CONCERN
CONSIDERATIONS
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, Bluegate has been unable to
generate cash flows sufficient to support its operations and has been dependent
on debt and equity raised from qualified individual investors and loans from a
related party. In addition to negative cash flow from operations, Bluegate has
experienced recurring net losses, and has a negative working capital and
shareholders’ deficit.
The note
payable to William Koehler, former Director/Corporate Officer, was due on demand
and pursuant to the terms of the note; Mr. Koehler recently made a demand for
payment. Thirty days had elapsed since Mr. Koehler made his demand
for payment and we had not repaid the debt at that time. That debt
was in default in the principal amount of $34,628 plus accrued interest to
September 30, 2009 in the amount of $7,182. As a result of the Company entering
into a Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with
William Koehler effective November 7, 2009, the note payable in the principal
amount of $34,628 plus accrued interest to October 31, 2009 in the amount of
$9,004 was paid in full. See Subsequent Event footnote 6.
The note
payable to SAI Corporation (“SAIC”), a corporation controlled by Stephen Sperco
(CEO/President/Director), is due on demand and pursuant to the terms of the
note; SAIC recently made a demand for payment. Thirty days have
elapsed since SAIC made demand for payment; however, we have not repaid
SAIC. This debt was in default in the principal amount of $1,300,000.
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. See Subsequent Event footnote 6.
These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if Bluegate is unable to continue as a going
concern.

Secured note payable to related
party: During 2007, the Company entered into a line of credit
agreement with SAI Corporation ("SAIC"), a corporation controlled by our
CEO, Stephen Sperco, to borrow up to $500,000. On February 28, 2008, the
line of credit agreement with SAIC was amended to increase the borrowing
to $700,000 and on February 28, 2008, Bluegate borrowed the additional
$200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes. As condition to and as
additional consideration for SAIC’s agreement to lend the funds to the
Company, the Company granted SAIC a security interest in its assets as
more specifically detailed in the Promissory Note and Security Agreement,
and increased the interest rate from 12% to 15% per annum. On July 14,
2008, the line of credit agreement with SAIC was amended to increase the
borrowing to $900,000 and on July 31, 2008, Bluegate borrowed the
additional $200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes. Upon Bluegate
borrowing the additional $200,000, the Company agreed to pay (1) SAIC a
$40,000 origination fee and (2) Sperco Technology Group, Inc. (“STG”), a
corporation controlled by our CEO, Stephen Sperco, all past due amounts
totaling $104,972. On August 14, 2008, the Company entered into a short
term unsecured loan with SAIC to meet its working capital needs to borrow
$65,000. Upon borrowing the $65,000, the Company agreed to pay SAIC a
$6,500 origination fee and to repay SAIC with the first available funds
once the August 15, 2008 payroll and medical insurance premium was paid.
The Company paid the $65,000 loan and $6,500 fee on August 15, 2008. On
August 28, 2008, the Company borrowed $50,000 from SAIC and agreed to pay
SAIC a $5,000 origination fee. The Company paid the $50,000 funds borrowed
and $5,000 fee on September 11, 2008. On October 16, 2008, the line of
credit agreement with SAIC was amended to increase the borrowing to
$1,100,000 and on October 21, 2008, Bluegate borrowed the additional
$200,000 from SAIC for working capital purposes. Upon Bluegate borrowing
the additional $200,000, the Company agreed to pay (1) SAIC a $20,000
origination fee and (2) Sperco Technology Group, Inc. all past due
amounts. 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 recently made a demand for payment. Thirty days have
elapsed since SAIC made demand for payment; however, we have not repaid
SAIC. This debt was in default in the principal amount of
$1,300,000. 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. See
Subsequent Event footnote 6.

Unsecured notes payable to
related parties: During 2006, the Company entered into a line of
credit agreement with Manfred Sternberg ("MS"), former Chief Strategy
Officer and William Koehler ("WK"), former President and COO, for Bluegate
to borrow up to $500,000 from each of them. As of September 30, 2009, the
interest rates on the underlying credit cards pertaining to funds borrowed
from MS and WK were 17.24% and 17.23%, respectively.
The
note payable to William Koehler, former Director/Corporate Officer, was
due on demand and pursuant to the terms of the note; Mr. Koehler recently
made a demand for payment. Thirty days had elapsed since Mr.
Koehler made his demand for payment and we had not repaid the debt at that
time. That debt was in default in the principal amount of
$34,628 plus accrued interest to September 30, 2009 in the amount of
$7,182. As a result of the Company entering into a Separation Agreement
and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with William Koehler effective
November 7, 2009, the note payable in the principal amount of $34,628 plus
accrued interest to October 31, 2009 in the amount of $9,004 was paid in

As of
September 30, 2009, the company has outstanding: (i) 26,033,565 shares of common
stock; (ii) 17,437,800 warrants; (iii) 9,833,597 options; and, (iv) preferred
stock that are convertible into 1,200,000 shares of common stock, resulting on a
fully diluted basis, 54,504,962 shares of common stock. However, the company
currently has only 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized by our Articles
of Incorporation. If all of the holders of warrants, options, convertible debt
and preferred stock requested to exercise or convert all of the warrants,
options, convertible debt and preferred stock, we would be unable to accommodate
4,504,962 shares of common stock in those requests. The company could have
liability in the future if an option holder, warrant holder, preferred stock
holder or holder of convertible debt desires to exercise or convert but cannot
because we do not have enough unissued common stock available for issuance.
However, the following individuals or entities have waived their reservation of
common stock underlying options and warrants until such time that the board of
directors deems the waiver is not necessary as follows: Stephen Sperco and
related entity (3,000,000 shares); Manfred Sternberg and related entities
(2,000,000 shares); and William Koehler (2,000,000 shares).
Bluegate
used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options and warrants
using the following assumptions: number of options as set forth in the option
agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility ranging from 202% to
260%; risk-free interest rates of 5.0%; and expected terms based on the period
of time expected to elapse until exercise. When applicable, Bluegate uses the
simplified method of calculating expected term as described in SAB
107.
5. DERIVATIVE
LIABILITY
Embedded feature of
equity-linked financial instrument:
In June
2008, the FASB finalized EITF 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or
Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's Own Stock". The EITF lays out a
procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded
feature) is indexed to its own common stock. The EITF is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008. 9,034,800 of Bluegate’s
outstanding warrants that were previously classified in equity were reclassified
to derivative liabilities on January 1, 2009 as a result of this EITF.
Bluegate estimated the fair value of these liabilities as of January 1, 2009 to
be $84,000 by recording a reduction of $4,600,000 to Additional Paid In Capital
and $4,516,000 to Accumulated Deficit. The effect of this adjustment
is recorded as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle in our
consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit. The fair value of these
liabilities was $132,000 at September 30, 2009. The $48,000 change in fair value
is reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a loss on derivative
financial instruments. The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured
at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be
reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss on
derivative financial instruments.
Bluegate
used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the embedded feature of the
liability using the following assumptions: number of options as set forth in the
option agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility ranging from
220% to 330%; risk-free interest rates of 5.0%; and expected terms based on the
contractual term.
6. SUBSEQUENT
EVENT
Effective
November 7, 2009 the shareholders holding at least a super majority of the
voting rights of our outstanding voting shares (greater than 2/3 of the vote)
authorized, directed, and consented to: 1) the Company entering into an Asset
Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell certain Bluegate Corporation Medical Grade
Network (“MGN”) assets to Sperco, LLC (a company controlled by Stephen
Sperco) (“Sperco”) (Sperco is our CEO/President/Director) for
$200,000, with payment made by a combination of $100,000 cash and $100,000
forgiveness of debt, plus an adjustment on a dollar for dollar basis for any
working capital; 2) the Company entering into a Separation Agreement and Mutual
Release in Full of all claims with Manfred Sternberg (former Director/Corporate
Officer) in exchange for repayment of a loan plus accrued interest totaling
$44,369 to Manfred Sternberg; 3) the Company entering into a Separation
Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with William Koehler (former
Director/Corporate Officer) in exchange for repayment of a loan plus accrued
interest totaling $44,374 with a direct payment to Mr. Koehler’s American
Express account and a $1 payment to William Koehler; 4) the Company entering
into an Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell certain Trilliant Technology
Group, Inc.’s assets to Trilliant Corporation (a company controlled by William
Koehler, former Director/Corporate Officer) for a cash payment of $5,000; 5) the
Company entering into an Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell certain
Bluegate Corporation Healthcare Information Management Systems (“HIMS”) assets
to SAI Corporation (“SAIC”), a corporation controlled by Sperco in exchange for
a Mutual Release in Full of certain claims and a $1 payment to SAIC; and 6) that
there were no incorrect statements of fact contained in the Fairness Opinion
dated November 6, 2009 presented by Convergent Capital Appraisers.
The
carrying value of the assets disposed of totaled $17,590 and consisted of
furniture, fixtures and equipment. The carrying value of liabilities disposed of
totaled $245,741 and consisted of: (i) $100,000 reduction of secured debt to SAI
Corporation; (ii) $44,369 payment of a note payable and accrued interest to
Manfred Sternberg; (iii) $44,374 payment of a note payable and accrued interest
to William Koehler; (iv) $22,499 and $6,000 forgiveness of accrued directors’
fees and accrued vehicle allowances, respectively from Manfred Sternberg; and
(v) $22,499 and $6,000 forgiveness of accrued directors’ fees and accrued
vehicle allowances, respectively from William Koehler.

FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENT
This
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations as of September 30, 2009 and for the nine 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-K for 2008.
Certain
statements contained in this report, including, without limitation, statements
containing the words, "likely", "forecast", "project", "believe", "anticipate",
"expect", and other words of similar meaning, constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of
1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance
or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance,
or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given
these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
factors or to announce publicly the results of any revision of the
forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein to
reflect future events or developments. In addition to the forward-looking
statements contained in this Form 10-Q, 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.
OUR
BUSINESS
Our
business 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.
COMPETITION
We are
not aware of any completely direct competitors at this time. However,
competition may include vendors of HIPAA software and Internet Protocol ("IP")
networks whose security may or may not comply with the terms of the HIPAA
confidentiality compliance requirements.
The IT
services market is extremely competitive, highly fragmented and has grown
dramatically in recent years. The market is characterized by the absence of
significant barriers to entry and rapidly changing applications and
technology. Other competitors may be:
-
|
Access
and content providers, such as AOL, Microsoft, EarthLink and Time
Warner;
|
-
|
Professional
Service organizations, such as IBM, CSC, Perot Systems, and
EDS;
|
-
|
Regional,
national and international telecommunications companies, such as AT&T,
Verizon, Qwest, and Sprint;
|
-
|
On-line
services offered by incumbent cable providers such as Comcast and
Cox;
|
-
|
DSL
providers such as the RBOC’s and
CLEC’s.
|
Most of
our competitors have more extensive resources than we have, and there is no
assurance that we will be able to successfully compete.

site is www.bluegate.com.
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 ASC 718 (previously FAS No. 123R), "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, we implemented SFAS No.
123R, and accordingly, Bluegate accounts for compensation cost for stock option
plans in accordance with SFAS No. 123R.
I-1
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
Bluegate
does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or
foreign currency risks. Bluegate evaluates all of it financial
instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features
that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial
instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is
initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting
date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to
income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, Bluegate
uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments
at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative
instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as
liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting
period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the
balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash
settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of
the balance sheet date.
GOING
CONCERN
We remain
dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of our operations. Our
independent registered public accounting firm included a going concern
qualification in their report dated April 9, 2009 (included in our annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008), which raises substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 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 and loans from a related party.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we experienced negative
financial results as follows:

The note
payable to William Koehler, former Director/Corporate Officer, was due on demand
and pursuant to the terms of the note; Mr. Koehler recently made a demand for
payment. Thirty days had elapsed since Mr. Koehler made his demand
for payment and we had not repaid the debt at that time. That debt
was in default in the principal amount of $34,628 plus accrued interest to
September 30, 2009 in the amount of $7,182. As a result of the Company entering
into a Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with
William Koehler effective November 7, 2009, the note payable in the principal
amount of $34,628 plus accrued interest to October 31, 2009 in the amount of
$9,004 was paid in full. See Subsequent Event footnote
6.
The note
payable to SAI Corporation (“SAIC”), a corporation controlled by Stephen Sperco
(CEO/President/Director), is due on demand and pursuant to the terms of the
note; SAIC recently made a demand for payment. Thirty days have
elapsed since SAIC made demand for payment; however, we have not repaid
SAIC. This debt was in default in the principal amount of $1,300,000.
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. See Subsequent Event footnote 6.
These
factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements contained herein do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should we be unable to continue in existence. Our ability to continue
as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash
flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing
as may be required, and ultimately to attain profitable
operations. However, there is no assurance that profitable operations
or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.
We have
supported the above operations by: (1) loans from a related party, (2) raising
additional operating cash through the private sale of our preferred and common
stock, (3) selling convertible debt and common stock to certain key stockholders
and (4) issuing stock and options as compensation to certain employees and
vendors in lieu of cash payments. See Subsequent Event footnote 6.

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Service
Revenue.
The
$148,806 decrease in Service Revenue from 2007 to 2008 is primarily attributable
to: (1) a reduction of $315,000 related to the completion of certain large
application development engagements; (2) a reduction of $180,000 related to the
fourth quarter 2007 decision by one of the healthcare systems that we contracted
with to provide managed security services to their physicians, notified their
physicians that effective January 1, 2008 they would no longer subsidize those
costs, which resulted in the reduction of the number of physician practices we
serve for that system; (3) a reduction of $45,000 related to the reduction of
EMR related projects and (4) offset by an increase of $308,000 related to the
implementation project management and consulting services. The $367,389 decrease
in Service Revenue from 2008 to 2009 is primarily attributable to: (1) a
reduction of $221,000 related to our Medical Grade Network® business;
and (2) a reduction of $136,000 in the implementation project management and
consulting services.
Cost of
Services.
The
$187,163 decrease in Cost of Services from 2007 to 2008 is primarily
attributable to $57,000 related to the completion of certain large application
development engagements throughout 2007 and $75,000 due to the reduction of EMR
related projects. The $116,792 decrease in Cost of Services from 2008 to 2009 is
primarily attributable to: (1) a $99,000 decrease related to our Medical Grade
Network® business;(2)
a decrease of $76,000 related to technology consulting services and offset by
(3) an increase of $49,000 related to product sales; and (4) a $43,000 increase
in personnel related to the completion of certain large application development
engagements.
Gross
Profit.
Our Gross
Profit increased $38,357 from 2007 to 2008 and decreased $250,597 from 2008 to
2009. Our Gross Profit as a percentage of Service Revenue increased from 27% in
2007 to 34% in 2008 and decreased to 17% 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
$9,859 increase in SG&A from 2007 to 2008 was insignificant. The $28,177
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 $1,112,420 from 2007 to 2008 is principally
comprised of the following:
$ | (823,000 | ) |
decrease
related to options issued for employee services
|
(400,000 | ) |
decrease
related to the reduction in
personnel
|
The
decrease in Compensation Expense of $257,325 from 2008 to 2009 is principally
comprised of the following:
$ | (147,000 | ) |
decrease
related to the reduction in personnel
|
(88,000 | ) |
decrease
related to options issued for employee
services
|
Interest
Expense.
The
$77,009 increase in Interest Expense from 2007 to 2008 and the decrease of
$35,418 from 2008 to 2009 was a result of the borrowings under the secured note
payable to related party.
Loss on
Derivative Financial Instruments.
In June
2008, the FASB finalized EITF 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or
Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's Own Stock". The EITF lays out a
procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded
feature) is indexed to its own common stock. The EITF is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008. Some of Bluegate’s outstanding
warrants that were previously classified in equity were reclassified to
derivative liabilities on January 1, 2009 as a result of this EITF.
Bluegate estimated the fair value of these liabilities as of January 1, 2009 to
be $84,000. The fair values of these liabilities were $88,000 and $132,000
at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The $44,000 change in
fair value is reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a loss on
derivative financial instruments.
Net
Loss.
The Net
Loss decreased $1,063,909 from 2007 to 2008 and decreased $26,323 from 2008 to
2009 due to the items described above.

Activities.
The net
decrease of $166,014 in cash used in operations from 2007 to 2008 is primarily
due to: (1) the decrease in personnel and related salaries as a result of: (i)
the completion of certain large application development engagements during 2007;
(ii) a decision by one of the healthcare systems that we contracted with to
provide managed security services to their physicians, notified their physicians
that effective January 1, 2008 they would no longer subsidize those costs, which
resulted in the reduction of the number of physician practices we served for
that system; (iii) the reduction of EMR related projects; (2) the elimination of
business consulting and investment banking fees and (3) partially offset by an
increase of personnel and salaries related to the implementation project
management and consulting services. The net decrease of $220,903 in cash
provided by operations from 2008 to 2009 is primarily due to: (1) a decrease in
personnel related to the completion of certain large application development

insignificant.
Financing
Activities.
The
decrease of $229,256 in net cash provided by financing activities from 2007 to

preferred stock and common stock warrants;(2) a $210,000 net increase in related
party short term debt; (3) a $315,000 increase in repayment of note payable from

RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Service
Revenue.
The
$1,252,196 decrease in Service Revenue from 2007 to 2008 is primarily
attributable to: (1) a reduction of $1,019,000 related to the completion of
certain large application development engagements; (2) a reduction of $541,000
related to the fourth quarter 2007 decision by one of the healthcare systems
that we contracted with to provide managed security services to their
physicians, notified their physicians that effective January 1, 2008 they would
no longer subsidize those costs, which resulted in the reduction of the number
of physician practices we serve for that system; (3) a reduction of $478,000
related to the reduction of EMR related projects and (4) offset by an increase
of $663,000 related to the implementation project management and consulting
services. The $466,179 decrease in Service Revenue from 2008 to 2009 is
primarily attributable to: (1) a reduction of $528,000 related to our Medical
Grade Network® business;
(2) a reduction of $94,000 related to product sales and (3) offset by an
increase of $202,000 related to the implementation project management and
consulting services.
Cost of
Services.
The
$586,437 decrease in Cost of Services from 2007 to 2008 is primarily
attributable to $325,000 related to the completion of certain large application
development engagements throughout 2007 and $320,000 due to the reduction of EMR
related projects. The $518,357 decrease in Cost of Services from 2008 to 2009 is
primarily attributable to: (1) a $134,000 decrease in personnel related to the
completion of certain large application development engagements and other cost
cutting measures; (2) a $210,000 decrease related to our Medical Grade
Network® business;
(3) a reduction of $24,000 related to product sales and (4) a decrease of
$31,000 related to technology consulting services.

Gross
Profit.
Our Gross
Profit decreased $665,759 from 2007 to 2008 and increased $52,178 from 2008 to
2009. Our Gross Profit as a percentage of Service Revenue decreased from 34% in
2007 to 26% in 2008 and increased to 33% 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
$822,314 decrease in SG&A from 2007 to 2008 is due primarily to a decrease
of $600,000 related to business consulting and investment banking fees, as well
as the effects of additional cost control measures instituted during the first
quarter of 2008. The $212,390 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 $2,735,021 from 2007 to 2008 is principally
comprised of the following:
$ | (2,336,000 | ) |

Interest
Expense.
The
$88,923 increase in Interest Expense from 2007 to 2008 and the increase of
$25,125 from 2008 to 2009 was a result of the borrowings under the secured note
payable to related party.
Deemed
Dividend on Preferred Stock.
There was
no deemed dividend on preferred shares and common stock warrants issued for 2008
and 2009 as compared to $600,000 for
2007.
Loss on
Derivative Financial Instruments.
In June
2008, the FASB finalized EITF 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or
Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's Own Stock". The EITF lays out a
procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded
feature) is indexed to its own common stock. The EITF is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008. Some of Bluegate’s outstanding
warrants that were previously classified in equity were reclassified to
derivative liabilities on January 1, 2009 as a result of this EITF.
Bluegate estimated the fair value of these liabilities as of January 1, 2009 to
be $84,000. The fair value of these liabilities was $132,000 at September
30, 2009. The $48,000 change in fair value is reported in our consolidated
statement of operations as a loss on derivative financial
instruments.
Net
Loss.
The Net
Loss decreased $3,402,653 from 2007 to 2008 and decreased $1,409,717 from 2008

Activities.
The net
decrease of $1,030,803 in cash used in operations from 2007 to 2008 is primarily
due to: (1) the decrease in personnel and related salaries as a result of: (i)
the completion of certain large application development engagements during 2007;
(ii) a decision by one of the healthcare systems that we contracted with to
provide managed security services to their physicians, notified their physicians
that effective January 1, 2008 they would no longer subsidize those costs, which
resulted in the reduction of the number of physician practices we served for
that system; (iii) the reduction of EMR related projects; (2) the elimination of
business consulting and investment banking fees and (3) partially offset by an
increase of personnel and salaries related to the implementation project
management and consulting services. The net decrease of $272,303 in cash used in
operations from 2008 to 2009 is primarily due to: (1) a decrease in personnel
related to the completion of certain large application development engagements;
(2) a reduction in product sales; (3) the effects of additional cost control

related party short term debt; and (3) a $45,000 net increase in bank line of
credit. The decrease of $272,508 in cash provided by financing activities from

FORECAST
Bluegate
Services
The
carrier business continues to operate at a profit but we do not expect
significant growth in this area.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 have been funded by loans from a
related party. Bluegate has continued to take steps to reduce its monthly
operating expenses relating to its core business.
As of
September 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were $2,316; total current
assets were $273,995; total current liabilities were $1,932,379; and total
stockholders’ deficit was $1,638,277. Effective January 1, 2008, three of the
company’s executive officers reduced their annual base salaries to $100,000 each
(which were further reduced to $24,000 effective May 1, 2008) until the company
achieves a net positive cash flow from operations. Effective May 31, 2009, one
of the officers resigned from the company and effective July 30, 2009, one of
the officers employment terminated.
Effective
November 7, 2009 the shareholders holding at least a super majority of the
voting rights of our outstanding voting shares (greater than 2/3 of the vote)
authorized, directed, and consented to: 1) the Company entering into an Asset
Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell certain Bluegate Corporation Medical Grade
Network (“MGN”) assets to Sperco, LLC (a company controlled by Stephen
Sperco) (“Sperco”) (Sperco is our CEO/President/Director) for $200,000,
with payment made by a combination of $100,000 cash and $100,000 forgiveness of
debt, plus an adjustment on a dollar for dollar basis for any working capital;
2) the Company entering into a Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full
of all claims with Manfred Sternberg (former Director/Corporate Officer) in
exchange for repayment of a loan plus accrued interest totaling $44,369 to
Manfred Sternberg; 3) the Company entering into a Separation Agreement and
Mutual Release in Full of all claims with William Koehler (former
Director/Corporate Officer) in exchange for repayment of a loan plus accrued
interest totaling $44,374 with a direct payment to Mr. Koehler’s American
Express account and a $1 payment to William Koehler; 4) the Company entering
into an Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell certain Trilliant Technology
Group, Inc.’s assets to Trilliant Corporation (a company controlled by William
Koehler, former Director/Corporate Officer) for a cash payment of $5,000; 5) the
Company entering into an Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell certain
Bluegate Corporation Healthcare Information Management Systems (“HIMS”) assets
to SAI Corporation (“SAIC”), a corporation controlled by Sperco in exchange for
a Mutual Release in Full of certain claims and a $1 payment to SAIC; and 6) that
there were no incorrect statements of fact contained in the Fairness Opinion
dated November 6, 2009 presented by Convergent Capital Appraisers.
The
carrying value of the assets disposed of totaled $17,590 and consisted of
furniture, fixtures and equipment. The carrying value of liabilities disposed of
totaled $245,741 and consisted of: (i) $100,000 reduction of secured debt to SAI
Corporation; (ii) $44,369 payment of a note payable and accrued interest to
Manfred Sternberg; (iii) $44,374 payment of a note payable and accrued interest
to William Koehler; (iv) $22,499 and $6,000 forgiveness of accrued directors’
fees and accrued vehicle allowances, respectively from Manfred Sternberg; and
(v) $22,499 and $6,000 forgiveness of accrued directors’ fees and accrued
vehicle allowances, respectively from William Koehler.
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.
Our
future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the
following:
-
|
The
cost of sales and marketing
|
-
|
The
rate at which we expand our
operations
|
-
|
Attractive
acquisition opportunities

no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter
ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.

II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
Manfred
Sternberg, former Director/Corporate Officer and William Koehler, former
Director/Corporate Officer, filed with the Texas Workforce Commission (“TWC”)
wage claims for unpaid wages for $38,000 and $42,000, respectively. We provided
the employer responses to the TWC and were waiting for a written decision from
the TWC on the findings. 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 wage claims were included in
the releases and were no longer valid.
The note
payable to William Koehler, former Director/Corporate Officer, was due on demand
and pursuant to the terms of the note; Mr. Koehler recently made a demand for
payment. Thirty days had elapsed since Mr. Koehler made his demand
for payment and we had not repaid the debt at that time. That debt
was in default in the principal amount of $34,628 plus accrued interest to
September 30, 2009 in the amount of $7,182. As a result of the Company entering
into a Separation Agreement and Mutual Release in Full of all claims with
William Koehler effective November 7, 2009, the note payable in the principal
amount of $34,628 plus accrued interest to October 31, 2009 in the amount of
$9,004 was paid in full.
The note
payable to SAI Corporation (“SAIC”), a corporation controlled by Stephen Sperco
(CEO/President/Director), is due on demand and pursuant to the terms of the
note; SAIC recently made a demand for payment. Thirty days have
elapsed since SAIC made demand for payment; however, we have not repaid
SAIC. This debt was in default in the principal amount of $1,300,000.
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.
