BLUEGATE CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Bluegate Corporation (“we”, “our”, “Bluegate” or the “Company”), 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 2011 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
2. GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, 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.

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

3. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY
 
           
The accounts payable to related party balance is owed to Sperco, LLC ("SLLC") (an entity controlled by Stephen J. Sperco, Bluegate's CEO/President/Director) and is summarized below:
 
6/30/2012
   
12/31/2011
 
During November 2009, Bluegate entered into an Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement to sell certain assets to SLLC, and as a result, these balances represent funds collected by Bluegate on behalf of SLLC
  $ 98,741     $ 97,664  
As a result of the November 2009 transaction, commencing January 1, 2010, Bluegate had no employees and agreed to pay SLLC a monthly amount of $15,000 for management, accounting and administrative services, as well as, infrastructure and network engineering support
    360,000       270,000  
From July 1, 2010 through July 31, 2011, SLLC agreed to pay Bluegate a monthly amount of $4,000 for office space and associated services for the Sperco entities
    (52,000 )     (52,000 )
Commencing August 1, 2011, SLLC and Bluegate moved from Suite 600 to Suite 350 and Bluegate agreed to pay SLLC $1,000 rent on a month-to-month basis
    11,000       5,000  
    $ 417,741     $ 320,664  

4. NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY

Note payable at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is summarized below:
 
 
6/30/2012
   
12/31/2011
 
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 J. Sperco, to borrow up to $500,000. The line of credit has been amended several times due to Bluegate’s need to borrow funds for working capital purposes and has been increased to $1,230,000. As a condition to and as additional consideration for SAIC’s agreement to lend additional 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. Principal and interest is due on demand. Interest is at the rate of 15% per annum and payments are due and payable monthly at the end of each month until the outstanding principal balance is paid in full. The Company agreed to pay a late charge in the amount of $10,000 on any interest payment more than fifteen days delinquent.
On January 30, 2012 and June 27, 2012, Bluegate borrowed $15,000 and $10,000, respectively for working capital purposes.
  $ 1,225,000     $ 1,200,000

6. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

As of June 30, 2012, the company has outstanding: (i) 46,033,565 shares of common stock; (ii) 130,000 warrants; (iii) 395,332 options; and, (iv) preferred stock that are convertible into 1,450,000 shares of common stock, resulting on a fully diluted basis, 48,008,897 shares of common stock. The company has 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized by our Articles of Incorporation.

7. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Embedded feature of equity-linked financial instrument:

In June 2008, the FASB finalized ASC 815-15, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's Own Stock". ASC 815-15 lays out a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock. ASC 815-15 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 ASC 815-15.  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 statement of stockholders’ deficit. The fair values of these liabilities were -0- and $38,000 at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. On December 29, 2011 we received notification that the remaining warrants with an anti-dilutive provision issued to related party, SAI Corporation, were to be canceled. Due to the cancelation, there were no derivative financial instruments outstanding at December 31, 2011 and therefore, the fair value of these liabilities was -0- at December 31, 2011. The change in fair value of $16,000 in 2011 is reported in our statement of operations as a loss on derivative financial instruments for the six months ended June 30, 2011. 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 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 of 340%; risk-free interest rates of 5.0%; and expected terms based on the contractual term.
 
8. LEASE COMMITMENT
 
Commencing August 1, 2011, SLLC and Bluegate moved from Suite 600 to Suite 350 and Bluegate agreed to pay SLLC $1,000 rent on a month-to-month basis.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of June 30, 2012 and for the six months then ended, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for 2011.

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

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

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

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

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

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Accounting Standard 718, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("ASC 718") established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. In January 2006, Bluegate implemented ASC 718, and accordingly, Bluegate accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718.

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

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.  On December 29, 2011 we received notification that the remaining warrants with an anti-dilutive provision issued to related party, SAI Corporation, were to be canceled; therefore there were no derivative financial instruments outstanding at December 31, 2011.

GOING CONCERN
We remain dependent on outside sources of funding for continuation of our operations.  Our independent registered public accounting firm issued a going concern qualification in their report dated January 19, 2012 (included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011), which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, 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 six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we experienced negative financial results as follows:

     
    Six Months Ended June 30,
   
2012
   
2011
 
Net loss
  $ (263,264 )   $ (246,404 )
Negative cash flow from operations
    (27,551 )     (32,504 )
Negative working capital
    (1,960,814 )     (1,730,635 )
Stockholders’ deficit
    (1,960,814 )     (1,730,635 )
 
These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements contained herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required,  and ultimately to attain profitable operations.  However, there is no assurance that profitable operations or sufficient cash flows will occur in the future.

Service Revenue.
The decrease in Service Revenue of $11,896 from 2010 to 2011 and $22,968 from 2011 to 2012 is due to a reduction in our networking service (carrier/circuit) business that provides internet connectivity to corporate clients on a subscription basis.

Cost of Services.
The net decrease in Cost of Services of $3,140 from 2010 to 2011 and $5,556 from 2011 to 2012 is due to a reduction in our networking service (carrier/circuit) business that provides internet connectivity to corporate clients on a subscription basis.

Gross Profit.
Our Gross Profit decreased $8,756 from 2010 to 2011 and $17,412 from 2011 to 2012. Our Gross Profit as a percentage of Service Revenue decreased from 43% in 2010 to 37% in 2011 to 13% in 2012 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 $8,159 increase in SG&A from 2010 to 2011 is related to the following. (1) Effective January 1, 2010 there were no Bluegate Corporation employees and Sperco, LLC commenced providing management, accounting and administrative services, as well as, network infrastructure and engineering support to Bluegate as needed in exchange for space and associated services. Effective July 1, 2010 Bluegate agreed to pay $15,000 monthly for those services which totaled $45,000 for the three months ended June 30,2011. The $45,000 increase was partially offset by (2) Effective July 1, 2010, the Sperco entities agreed to pay a monthly amount of $4,000 for office space and associated services to Bluegate for the Sperco entities which had the effect reducing Bluegate’s monthly rent to zero for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to approximately $28,000 of rent expense recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease of $8,542 from 2011 to 2012 is primarily a result of a $7,018 reduction in the Director and Officer Liability insurance premium.

Interest Expense.
The increase in Interest Expense of $30,355 from 2010 to 2011 was a result of the $30,000 increase in borrowings under the secured note payable to related party and resumption of interest being charged for 90 days in 2011 as compared to 52 days in 2010. The decrease in Interest Expense of $545 from 2011 to 2012 is insignificant.

Gain (loss) on Derivative Financial Instruments.
In June 2008, the FASB finalized ASC 815-15, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity's Own Stock". The pronouncement lays out a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Some of Bluegate’s outstanding warrants that were previously classified in equity were reclassified to derivative liabilities on January 1, 2009 as a result of this pronouncement.  Bluegate estimated the fair value of these liabilities as of January 1, 2009 to be $84,000. The fair values of these liabilities were -0- and $38,000 at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $3,000 change in fair value for the three months is reported in our statement of operations as a loss on derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2011.

Net Loss.
The Net Loss increased $206,270 from 2010 to 2011 and $5,325 from 2011 to 2012 due to the items described above.

The increase of $8,456 from 2010 to 2011 in cash used in operations is primarily due to the $3,000 paid to the Trustee in Renaissance Healthcare Systems, Inc. settlement. The increase of $7,100 from 2011 to 2012 in cash used in operations is primarily due to: (1) $5,019 relating to the Texas Franchise Tax audits for the years 2009 and 2010 and (2) $2,875 for professional services to conform to the XBRL filings with the SEC.

Financing Activities.
The increase of $10,000 from 2011 to 2012 in cash provided by financing activities is due to the increase in proceeds from related party short term debt.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A).
The $19,985 increase in SG&A from 2010 to 2011 is primarily related to the following: (1) Effective January 1, 2010 there were no Bluegate Corporation employees and Sperco, LLC commenced providing management, accounting and administrative services, as well as, network infrastructure and engineering support to Bluegate as needed in exchange for space and associated services. Effective July 1, 2010 Bluegate agreed to pay $15,000 monthly for those services which totaled $90,000 for the six months ended June 30,2011. The $90,000 increase was partially offset by (2) Effective July 1, 2010, the Sperco entities agreed to pay a monthly amount of $4,000 for office space and associated services to Bluegate for the Sperco entities which had the effect reducing Bluegate’s monthly rent to zero for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to approximately $54,000 of rent expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease of $11,309 from 2011 to 2012 is primarily a result of a $15,181 reduction in the Director and Officer Liability insurance premium, offset by a $6,000 increase in rent expense.

Interest Expense.
The increase in Interest Expense of $56,291 from 2010 to 2011 was a result of the $30,000 increase in borrowings under the secured note payable to related party and resumption of interest being charged for six months in 2011 as compared to four months in 2010. The increase in Interest Expense of $9,936 from 2011 to 2012 was a result of one additional $10,000 late charge penalty in 2012.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents were $3,386; total current assets were $15,529, total current liabilities were $1,976,343 and total stockholders’ deficit was $1,960,814.

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

Our ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to execute and deliver high quality, reliable connectivity services.  Our growth is dependent on attaining profit from our operations and our raising additional capital either through the sale of stock or borrowing.  There is no assurance that we will be able to raise any equity financing or sell any of our products at a profit.
