Disaboom, Inc.
Disaboom, Inc. (“we”, “us”, or the “Company”) incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on September 5, 2006. On October 1, 2007, we launched the first general availability version of our website disaboom.com, and on January 24, 2008 released an updated version of our website. We are continuing to develop the site as a comprehensive, interactive online resource not only for persons living with disabilities or functional limitations, but also their immediate families and friends, caregivers, recreation and rehabilitation providers and employers.

RISK FACTORS
Our securities are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk, including among other items the risk factors described below.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We have a lack of operating history and lack of revenues from operations.
To date we have only realized nominal revenues and have limited operating history. Our only significant asset is the business plan and our websites. Our ability to successfully generate revenues from our website is dependent on a number of factors, including availability of funds to continue to add content to the site, to adequately develop and maintain the website as outlined in our business plan, to commercialize our website through advertising, sponsorships and strategic alliances, and to attract and retain visitors to our site. There can be no assurance that we will not encounter setbacks with our website. We expect our current resources to be sufficient until we project being cash flow positive; however, unexpected capital needs may arise or we may deem that it is appropriate to raise additional funds for general corporate and working capital purposes. If an unexpected capital need arises we cannot assure you that capital will be available on reasonable terms, if at all. Therefore, the inability to raise additional funds, either through equity or debt financing, could materially impair our ability to generate revenues.
1
There are many risks associated with forward-looking information.
Much of the information presented in our business plan contains forward-looking statements. Although we believe the forward-looking statements have reasonable bases, we cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to conduct our operations as contemplated.
The business of providing services over the internet is difficult to evaluate and our business model is unproven.
Because we recently began operations, it is difficult to evaluate our business and prospects. Our revenue and income potential is unproven and our business model is emerging. We may never achieve favorable operating results or profitability.
We may be unable to generate significant advertising or sponsorship revenues.
We expect to derive a significant portion of our revenues from advertising and sponsorship on the Disaboom.com website. We may not, however, be able to generate adequate advertising or sponsorship revenues. There are no widely accepted standards that measure the effectiveness of web advertising. Advertisers and sponsors that have traditionally relied on other advertising media may be reluctant to advertise on the web. Advertisers that already have invested substantial resources in other advertising or sponsor methods may be reluctant to adopt a new strategy and our business would be adversely affected.
Different pricing models are used to sell advertising on the internet. It is difficult to predict which, if any, will emerge as the industry standard. The proliferation of websites across the internet may cause advertising and sponsor pricing levels to exist or evolve which are below levels originally anticipated in the Company’s business plan. This makes it difficult to project future advertising and sponsor revenues. Moreover, certain security, filtering and proprietary software programs that limit or prevent certain types of advertising from being delivered to a web user’s computer are available. Widespread adoption of this software could adversely affect the commercial viability of web advertising.
There is no assurance that we will be successful in expanding our operations and, if successful, managing our future growth.
Although we launched the first general availability version of our website on October 1, 2007, and an updated version of the site on January 24, 2008, we are continuing to develop portions or our website and our business operations. Payments for website development and expansion of our operations have and will result in significant operating costs. If we are unable to generate revenues that are sufficient to cover our significant operating costs, our results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. In addition, we may experience periods of rapid growth, including increased staffing levels. Such growth will place a substantial strain on our management, operational, financial and other resources. Moreover, we will need to train, motivate and manage employees and partners, as well as attract sales, technical and other professionals. Any failure to expand these areas and implement such procedures and controls in an efficient manner and at a pace consistent with our business objectives would have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
2
We are dependent on our key personnel, and the loss of any could adversely affect our business.
We depend on the continued performance of the members of our management team, particularly Dr. Glen House, J.W. Roth and John Walpuck. Dr. House, Mr. Roth and Mr. Walpuck have each contributed significantly to the expertise of our team and the position of our business. Dr. House and Mr. Roth each entered into three-year employment agreements with the Company, and Mr. Walpuck entered into a two-year employment agreement with the Company. If we lose the services of any of the foregoing individuals, and are unable to locate suitable replacements for such persons in a timely manner, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not have, and we do not expect to obtain, key man life insurance for any members of management in the foreseeable future.
We face significant competition; and, our competitors may have greater resources or research and development capabilities than we have, and we may not have the resources necessary to successfully compete with them.
Our business has been to create an interactive online resource for people living with or directly affected by disabilities or functional limitations. We are currently not aware of any significant competitors commercially selling this resource; however, the online marketplace for general healthcare information, resources and services is intensely competitive, rapidly evolving and subject to rapid technological change. As we continue to develop and launch modifications and updated releases of our website, we have found the internet and advertising business is highly competitive, and we may face increasing competition. Additionally, we are aware that many of our potential competitors operating in the online marketplace for general healthcare information, resources and services have greater financial and technical resources, more experience in research and development, and more established marketing and distribution capabilities than we have. Some of our large customers may also complete with us. These organizations are also better known and have more customers. We may be unable to compete successfully against these organizations if they expand their focus and operations to directly target our marketplace serving people living with or directly affected by disabilities or functional limitations.
We also compete for visitors, members, consumers, content and service providers, advertisers, sponsors, partners and acquisition candidates with the following categories of companies:
| • | online services or websites targeted to the healthcare industry and healthcare consumers generally, including webmd.com, medscape.com, pol.net, ivillage.com, medcareonline.com, mediconsult.com, betterhealth.com, drkoop.com, onhealth.com, healthcentral.com and thriveonline.com; |
| • | publishers and distributors of traditional offline media, including those targeted to healthcare professionals, many of which have established or may establish websites; |
| • | general purpose consumer online services and portals which provide access to healthcare-related content and services; |
| • | public sector and non-profit websites that provide healthcare information without advertising or commercial sponsorships; |
| • | vendors of healthcare information, products and services distributed through other means, including direct sales, mail and fax messaging; and |
| • | web search and retrieval services and other high-traffic websites. |
3
We face significant competition from traditional media companies which could adversely affect our future operating results.
We also compete with traditional media companies for advertising. Most advertisers currently spend only a portion of their advertising budgets on internet advertising. If we fail to persuade advertisers to spend a portion of their budget on advertising with us, our revenues could decline and our future operating results could be adversely affected.
Performance or security problems with our website could negatively impact our business.
Our success depends greatly on (i) the successful and ongoing development of our website, and (ii) maintaining the site to minimize delays and systems problems. Our customer satisfaction and our business could be harmed if we or our customers experience system delays, failures or loss of data. The occurrence of a major catastrophic event or other system failure at any of our or our vendor facilities could interrupt data processing or result in the loss of stored data. In addition, we depend on the efficient operation of internet connections from customers to our systems and vendors. These connections, in turn, depend on the efficient operation of Web browsers, internet service providers and internet backbone service providers, all of which have had periodic operational problems or experienced outages.
A material security breach could damage our reputation or result in liability. We may be required to spend significant capital and other resources to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by breaches. Any well-publicized compromise of internet security could deter people from using the internet or from conducting transactions that involve transmitting confidential information, including confidential healthcare information. Therefore, it is critical that these facilities and infrastructure remain secure and are perceived by the marketplace to be secure.
Despite the implementation of security measures, this infrastructure may be vulnerable to physical break-ins, computer viruses, programming errors, attacks by third parties or similar disruptive problems.
Technology may change faster than we can update our applications and services.
Medical information exchange is a relatively new and evolving market. The pace of change in this market is rapid and there are frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards. We may be unsuccessful in responding to technological developments and changing customer needs. In addition, our applications and services offerings may become obsolete due to the adoption of new technologies or standards.
We depend on service and content providers to provide information and data feeds on a timely basis. Our website could experience disruptions or interruptions in service due to the failure or delay in the transmission or receipt of this information. In addition, our members and consumers depend on internet service providers, online service providers and other website operators for access to our websites. All of them have experienced significant outages in the past and could experience outages, delays and other difficulties in the future due to system failures unrelated to our systems. Any significant interruptions in our services or increases in response time could result in a loss of potential or existing members, consumers, strategic partners, advertisers or sponsors and, if sustained or repeated, could reduce the attractiveness of our services.
4
If we are unable to provide services which generate significant traffic to our websites, or we are unable to enter into distribution relationships which drive significant traffic to our websites, our business could be harmed, hampering our ability to increase our revenues.
The success of our business plan is largely dependent on the number of visitors to our website, the number of page views and in turn, advertising and sponsorship revenue. Our marketing plan is measured by the number of page views or website hits we receive. Although management has based its estimates on what it believes to be reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that the number of page views can be accurately predicted, which in turn will substantially impact the ability to attract the requisite purchasers with spending power as well as advertisers and sponsors to our site, who advertise based on website traffic numbers. A material reduction in our website hits will substantially affect our business plan, projected revenues and net income.
The majority of our revenues will be derived from advertising and sponsorships, and the reduction in spending by or loss of current or potential advertisers or sponsors would cause our revenues and operating results to decline.
The majority of our total revenues will come from advertising and sponsorships. Our ability to grow advertising and sponsorship revenue depends upon:
| • | growing and retaining our user base; |
| • | attracting new and broadening our relationships with existing advertisers and sponsors; |
| • | attracting advertisers and sponsors to our user base; |
| • | increasing demand for our advertising and sponsorships; |
| • | deriving better demographic and other information from our users; and |
| • | driving continued and increased acceptance of the web by advertisers and sponsors as an effective advertising medium. |
Advertising agreements often have payments contingent upon guaranteed minimum usage, impressions, or click-through levels. Accordingly, it is difficult to forecast certain advertising revenues accurately. Any reduction in spending by or loss of existing or potential future advertisers or sponsors would cause our revenues to decline. Further, we may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall.
Decreases or delays in advertising spending by our advertisers or sponsors due to general economic conditions could harm our ability to generate advertising revenue.
Expenditures by advertisers and sponsors tend to be cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and budgeting and buying patterns. Since we expect to derive the majority of our revenues from advertising, any decreases in or delays in advertising or sponsorship spending due to general economic conditions could reduce our revenues or negatively impact our ability to grow our revenues.
5
If we are unable to acquire compelling content at reasonable costs or if we do not develop compelling content, the number of users of our services may not grow as anticipated, or may decline, which could harm our operating results.
Our success depends in part upon our ability to create, license and aggregate compelling content from third parties, and deliver that content through our website. We provide audio and video content to our users, and we believe that users will increasingly demand high-quality audio and video content, including user-generated content, such as music, film, speeches, news footage, concerts and other special events. Such content may require us to make substantial payments to third parties from whom we license or acquire such content. Our ability to maintain and build relationships with third-party content providers is critical to our success. In addition, as new methods for accessing the internet become available, including through alternative devices, we may need to enter into amended content agreements with existing third-party content providers to cover these new devices. Also, to the extent that Disaboom.com develops content of its own, Disaboom.com’s current and potential third-party content providers may view our services as competitive with their own, and this may adversely affect their willingness to contract with us. We may be unable to enter into new, or preserve existing, relationships with the third parties whose content we seek to obtain. In addition, as competition for compelling content increases both domestically and internationally, our content providers may increase the prices at which they offer their content to us, and potential content providers may not offer their content on terms agreeable to us. An increase in the prices charged to us by third-party content providers could harm our operating results and financial condition. Further, many of our content licenses with third parties are non-exclusive. Accordingly, other webcasters and other media such as radio or television may be able to offer similar or identical content. This increases the importance of our ability to deliver compelling editorial content and personalization of this content for users in order to differentiate Disaboom.com from other businesses. If we are unable to license or acquire compelling content at reasonable prices, if other companies broadcast content that is similar to or the same as that provided by Disaboom.com, or if we do not develop compelling editorial content or personalization services, the number of users of our services may not grow as anticipated, or may decline, which could harm our operating results.
Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our brand image and harm our business and our operating results.
We create, own and maintain a wide array of intellectual property assets, including copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, trade secrets and rights to certain domain names, which we believe are among our most valuable assets. We seek to protect our intellectual property assets through copyright, trade secret, trademark and other laws of the United States, and through contractual provisions. The efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective at stopping unauthorized use of those rights. In addition, effective trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available or cost-effective in every country in which our website and media properties are distributed or made available through the internet. There may be instances where we are not able to fully protect or utilize our intellectual property assets in a manner to maximize competitive advantages. Further, while we attempt to ensure that the quality of our brand is maintained by our licensees, our licensees may take actions that could impair the value of our brand, our proprietary rights or the reputation of our products and media properties. We realize that third parties may, from time to time, copy significant content available on Disaboom.com for use in competitive internet services. Protection of the distinctive elements of Disaboom.com may not be available under copyright law. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use, the value of our brand image may be reduced. Any impairment of our brand could negatively impact our business. In addition, protecting our intellectual property and other proprietary rights is expensive and time consuming. Any increase in the unauthorized use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do business and consequently harm our operating results.
6
We may in the future be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which are costly to defend, could result in significant damage awards, and could limit our ability to provide certain content or use certain technologies in the future.
Third parties may in the future assert claims against us alleging infringement of copyrights, trademark rights, trade secret rights or other proprietary rights, or alleging unfair competition or violations of privacy rights or failure to maintain confidentiality of user data. In addition, third parties may make trademark infringement and related claims against us. As we expand our business and develop new technologies, products and services, we may become increasingly subject to intellectual property infringement claims. In the event that there is a determination that we have infringed third-party proprietary rights such as copyrights, trademark rights, trade secret rights or other third party rights such as publicity and privacy rights, we could incur substantial monetary liability, be required to enter into costly royalty or licensing agreements or be prevented from using the rights, which could require us to change our business practices in the future and limit our ability to compete effectively. We may also incur substantial expenses in defending against third-party infringement claims regardless of the merit of such claims. In addition, many of our agreements with our customers or affiliates require us to indemnify them for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase our costs in defending such claims and our damages. The occurrence of any of these results could harm our brand and negatively impact our operating results.
We are subject to United States and foreign government regulation on internet services which could subject us to claims and remedies including monetary liabilities and limitations on our business practices.
We are subject to regulations and laws directly applicable to providers of internet services both domestically and internationally. The application of existing domestic and international laws and regulations to Disaboom.com relating to issues such as user privacy and data protection, defamation, pricing, advertising, taxation, gambling, sweepstakes, promotions, financial market regulation, consumer protection, content regulation, quality of services, telecommunications and intellectual property ownership and infringement in many instances is unclear or unsettled. In addition, we will also be subject to any new laws and regulations directly applicable to our domestic and international activities. Further, the application of existing laws to Disaboom.com regulating or requiring licenses for certain businesses of our advertisers including, for example, distribution of pharmaceuticals, alcohol, adult content, tobacco or firearms, as well as insurance and securities brokerage and legal services, can be unclear. We may incur substantial liabilities for expenses necessary to comply with these laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. Compliance with these laws and regulations may also cause us to change or limit our business practices in a manner adverse to our business. A number of federal laws, including those referenced below, impact our business. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) is intended, in part, to limit the liability of eligible online service providers for listing or linking to third-party websites that include materials that infringe copyrights or other rights of others. Portions of the Communications Decency Act (“CDA”) are intended to provide statutory protections to online service providers who distribute third party content. Disaboom.com relies on the protections provided by both the DMCA and CDA in conducting its business. Any changes in these laws or judicial interpretations narrowing their protections will subject us to greater risk of liability and may increase our costs of compliance with these regulations or limit our ability to operate certain lines of business. The Children’s Online Protection Act and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act are intended to restrict the distribution of certain materials deemed harmful to children and impose additional restrictions on the ability of online services to collect user information from minors. In addition, the Protection of Children From Sexual Predators Act of 1998 requires online service providers to report evidence of violations of federal child pornography laws under certain circumstances. The costs of compliance with these regulations may increase in the future as a result of changes in the regulations or the interpretation of them. Further, any failures on our part to comply with these regulations may subject us to significant liabilities.
7
Changes in regulations or user concerns regarding privacy and protection of user data could adversely affect our business.
Federal, state and international laws and regulations may govern the collection, use, sharing and security of data that we receive from our users and partners. In addition, we have, and post on our website our own privacy policies and practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of user data. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission requirements or other federal, state or international privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, which could potentially have an adverse effect on our business.
Further, the failure or perceived failure to comply with our policies or applicable requirements related to the collection, use, sharing or security of personal information or other privacy-related matters could result in a loss of user confidence in us and ultimately in a loss of users, partners or advertisers, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, the interpretation and application of user data protection laws are in a state of flux. Complying with these varying requirements could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business.
Compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires management to assess our internal controls over financial reporting and requires auditors to attest to that assessment. Current regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, will require us to include our management assessment in our annual report commencing with the annual report we file with the SEC for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. If on June 30, 2008 we are deemed to be an “Accelerated Filer” as defined by U.S. securities laws we will also be required to include our auditor’s assessment in our annual report.
We will incur significant increased costs in implementing and responding to these requirements. In particular, the rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess its internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404 are complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. We may have to invest in additional accounting and software systems. We may be required to hire additional personnel and to use outside legal, accounting and advisory services. In addition, we will incur additional fees from our auditors as they perform the additional services necessary for them to provide their attestation. If we are unable to favorably assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting when we are required to, or if our independent auditors are unable to provide an unqualified attestation report on such assessment, we may be required to change our internal control over financial reporting to remediate deficiencies. In addition, investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements causing our stock price to decline.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
We may require additional capital in the future and we cannot assure you that capital will be available on reasonable terms, if at all, or on terms that would not cause substantial dilution to your stock holdings.
We expect our current financial resources to be sufficient for our corporate needs until we project being cash flow positive. However, estimates for expenses, as well as our market approach and timing may change and we may decide to attempt to obtain additional debt or equity financing during 2008. Further, we may determine that it is appropriate to raise additional capital for working capital and general corporate purposes. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any sale of a substantial number of additional shares may cause dilution to your investment and could also cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

We do not plan to pay dividends on our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends to the holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, investors in our common stock must rely upon subsequent sales after price appreciation as the sole method to realize a gain on an investment in our common stock. There are no assurances that the price of our common stock will ever appreciate in value particularly if we continue to sustain operating losses. Investors seeking cash dividends should not buy our common stock.
We currently have a limited trading market as there is limited liquidity on the OTC Bulletin Board which may impact your ability to sell your shares.
Currently our shares of our Common Stock are traded on the NASD — OTC Bulletin Board. However, there is limited trading volume in our shares. When fewer shares of a security are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, price volatility may increase and price movement may outpace the ability of the OTC Bulletin Board to deliver accurate quote information. If low trading volumes in our common stock continue, there may be a lower likelihood of orders for shares of our common stock being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from prices quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board at the time of order entry.
Our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules which limits the market for our common stock.
Because our stock is traded on the NASD-OTC Bulletin Board, if the market price of the common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock is classified as a “penny stock.” SEC Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as an “established customer” or an “accredited investor.” This includes the requirement that a broker-dealer must make a determination that investments in penny stocks are suitable for the customer and must make special disclosures to the customers concerning the risk of penny stocks. Many broker-dealers decline to participate in penny stock transactions because of the extra requirements imposed on penny stock transactions. Application of the penny stock rules to our common stock reduces the market liquidity of our shares, which in turn affects the ability of holders of our common stock to resell the shares they purchase, and they may not be able to resell at prices at or above the prices they paid.
There may be a greater risk of fraud on the NASD-OTC Bulletin Board.
NASD-OTC Bulletin Board securities are more frequently targets for fraud or market manipulation because they are not regulated as closely as securities listed on exchanges. Dealers may dominate the market and set prices that are not based on competitive forces. Individuals or groups may create fraudulent markets and control the sudden, sharp increase of price and trading volume and the equally sudden collapse of market prices. While there is regulation of the NASD-OTC Bulletin Board, it is not as comprehensive as the regulation of the listed exchange. If this should occur, the value of an investment in our common stock could decline significantly.

USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares in this offering. However, if the warrants are exercised we will receive the exercise price paid upon exercise of those warrants. If we receive any proceeds upon the exercise of the outstanding warrants we intend to use the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes. All proceeds received from the sale of the shares offered by the Selling Shareholders will accrue to the benefit of the Selling Shareholders and not to the Company.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The tables below set forth information concerning the resale of the Shares by the Selling Shareholders. We are registering for resale an aggregate of 17,317,687 shares of our common stock which includes 9,345,166 shares currently outstanding and 7,972,521 shares underlying warrants. Except for 55,000 of the shares issued in October 2007 and 76,325 shares underlying warrants that were issued in December 2007, the shares and warrants were purchased by the selling shareholders in two private placements, the first closed in September and October 2007 (“Offering No. 1”) and the second offering closed in December 2007 (“Offering No. 2”). The resale of the shares purchased in Offering No. 1 and shares underlying the warrants purchased in Offering No. 1 were originally registered in a registration statement we filed on Form SB-2, SEC File No. 333-148122. We are registering the resale of these shares of our common stock to permit each of the selling stockholders and their donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest that receive their shares after the date of this prospectus to resell or otherwise dispose of the shares and shares underlying warrants, or interests therein, as well as any stock that we may issue or may be issuable by reason of any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction involving these shares, in the manner contemplated under “Plan of Distribution.” We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the common stock by the Selling Shareholders.
Offering No. 2
The following table sets forth the name of each person who is offering the resale of shares of common stock by this prospectus that were purchased in Offering No. 2. The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common stock that may be sold in the offering and the number of shares of common stock each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares offered.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each Selling Shareholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| • | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| • | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| • | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| • | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| • | privately negotiated transactions; |
| • | settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus; |
| • | broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| • | a combination of any such methods of sale; |
| • | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or |
| • | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
19
The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Each Selling Shareholder does not expect these commissions and discounts relating to its sales of shares to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.
The Shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state or provincial securities laws. In addition, in certain states or provinces, the Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the Selling Shareholders or any other person.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
Capital Stock
The authorized capital of the Company consists of 75,000,000 shares, of which 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock, par value of $.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), and 65,000,000 shares are common stock, par value of $.0001 per share (“Common Stock”). We currently have 43,272,216 shares of common stock outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The number of outstanding common shares includes 116,667 shares issued in error but remains outstanding.
Each share of common stock is entitled to share pro rata in dividends and distributions, if any, with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available for such purpose. No holder of any shares of common stock has any preemptive rights to subscribe for any securities of the Company. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of the common stock is entitled to share ratably in the amount available for distribution to holders of common stock. All shares of common stock presently outstanding are fully paid and non-assessable.
Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held. There is no right to cumulate votes for the election of directors. This means that holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors if they choose to do so, and in such event, the holders of the remaining less than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors will not be able to elect any person or persons to the Board of Directors.
20
Dividends
We have never declared or paid any dividends or distributions on our common stock. We anticipate that for the foreseeable future all earnings will be retained for use in our business and no cash dividends will be paid to stockholders. Any payment of cash dividends in the future on our common stock will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, current and anticipated cash requirements, plans for expansion, as well as other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on September 5, 2006. We are in the business of developing, operating, and marketing an interactive online community dedicated to constantly improving the way people with disabilities or functional limitations live their lives. This interactive community is intended to serve as a comprehensive online resource not only for people living with such conditions, but their immediate families and friends, caregivers, recreation and rehabilitation providers, and employers. The Company released an initial version of the website on August 15, 2007, released a limited availability version on September 1, 2007, released the general availability version of the website on October 1, 2007, and released an updated and enhanced version of the site on January 24, 2008. Our headquarters are located at 7730 E. Belleview Ave., Suite A-306, Greenwood Village, CO 80111. Our company website is www.disaboom.com.
There are more than 54 million American adults living with disabilities or functional limitations today in the United States alone, and over 650 million worldwide. We believe Disaboom offers a new solution to the difficulties faced by this previously untapped market. Persons living with disabilities or functional limitations have unique needs, as do the people in their lives who are directly affected by such disabilities or functional limitations. Founded by a doctor, and himself a member of the disability community, built by internet industry veterans, and regularly incorporating the feedback of tens of thousands of users, we believe Disaboom.com brings together content and tools ranging from specialized health information to social networking to daily living resources in a single interactive community.
We promote the trademarked name of our website, Disaboom.com, by primarily implementing a combination of national and regional advertising campaigns, both online and offline, as well as organic and direct response marketing intended to encourage people to visit our site. We believe that with the present absence of a comprehensive, community-oriented website specifically for people living with or directly affected by disabilities or functional limitations, this untapped target audience will visit and participate in our community, and contribute to its growth and success.
21
Our Target Market
Approximately 16% of the American adult population lives with a disability that makes it difficult to perform functional activities such as walking, climbing stairs, reaching, or lifting and carrying objects. About 7.6 million adults experience difficulty dressing, bathing, or simply getting around their home, while 18.2 million Americans are unable to even leave their homes without help. We believe that not only do the millions of persons living with disabilities or functional limitations have a need and desire for a comprehensive resource aimed at their unique needs, but their immediate family, friends, caregivers, recreation and rehabilitation providers, and employers can also utilize such a comprehensive resource. An estimated one in three Americans is either living with or directly affected by a disability or functional limitation.
Our Product
We believe that we are currently the only comprehensive, interactive online community dedicated to serving the specific needs of persons living with or directly affected by a disability or functional limitation. Disaboom.com is not solely a medical information website providing healthcare content about a particular condition or diagnosis, but a community based website and comprehensive resource addressing a broad range of topics and issues related to “living with” a disability or functional limitation. The primary components of our website are content, community, and microsites, each of which serve as a gateway and complementary resource to the other.
Content
Disaboom.com provides a broad spectrum of authoritative, frequently updated, and useful information designed to help people understand how to live most effectively with their specific disability related condition. Visitors have the option of starting with an in depth initial diagnosis and condition overview (the “Core Knowledge” content), including the most recent medical developments, or going directly to information that answers questions about their daily living needs. All articles are archived permanently on the site, and are searchable by title, author, most recently published, and “most comments”. The content component of the site is organized into two broad sections – Living and Health.
The Livingsection of our website focuses on providing people living with a disability or functional limitation the information and resources they need to engage in the daily challenges, opportunities, and activities of their lives. It provides people directly affected by a disability or functional limitation (e.g., caregivers, immediate family or friends, rehabilitation providers, etc.) the information and resources they need to understand, support and engage in the daily activities of the life of the person living with the disability or functional limitation, and their own lives. The Living section is currently composed of the following channel categories:
22
The types of information included in each of these channel categories are:
Entertainment. The entertainment category provides up-to-date articles, reviews, interviews, and insider commentary in the areas of Television, Movies, Books, and Music – from both disability and mainstream perspectives.
Lifestyle Topics in the Lifestyle area currently include Accessible Home, Aging with a Disability, Assistive Technology, Caregiving, Dating and Relationships, Military Life, Parenting and Family, Sports and Recreation, and Travel and Transportation. Lifestyle includes feature articles, how-to pieces, personal narratives, individual profiles, and short, actionable “info briefs.” Examples of these types of articles are “Functional Kitchens Have Universal Appeal,” “Tired of Typing? Try Talking to Your PC,” “I’m an Ironman,” (a profile of Trish Downing, the first female paraplegic to compete in an Ironman-length triathlon), and “How to Talk to Your Doctor about Pain.”
In The News. The news category features current health-related news articles.
Support & Services. The resource center provides basic but information we believe is important to our site visitors such as Disability-Related Benefits, Disability-Related Laws, Emergency Preparedness, Organizations, and Disability-Related Information Resources.
Media Room. The Media Room is the video component of the website, where various Disaboom-produced videos are available for viewing by site visitors. These may include promotional videos, event-related videos, or professionally-produced videos that Disaboom partners have created to share with the Disaboom community (user generated videos are viewable through member blogs and are not included with the videos featured in the Media Room).
The Health section of our website is intended to provide comprehensive medical information and education on disability-related conditions. It is designed to enable people living with, or directly affected by a disability or functional limitation, including the newly-diagnosed, to better understand their conditions, their treatment options, and what they need to know from a health perspective for their day-to-day lives. The Health section is not a series of simple medical briefs or summaries about a particular condition, instead we believe it is a comprehensive medical resource providing authoritative information written by medical experts on:
| • | Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's Disease) |
| • | Brain and traumatic brain injuries |
| • | Amputations (upper and lower extremities of adult and pediatric) |
| • | Orthopedics (hip replacements, knee replacements, back surgery) |
| • | Arthritis Center (includes osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, pseudogout, ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis and reiter's arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, enteropathic arthritis, Lyme disease and other infectious arthritis) |
23
| • | Pain Center (includes Pain - overview, fibromyalgia, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, herniated disc, myofascial pain, phantom pain, reflex sympathetic dystrophy as well as complex regional pain syndrome, depression and pain (one topic) |
| • | Pediatrics (spina bifida, cerebral palsy, brachial plexus palsy) |
| • | Spinal cord injuries (includes sexuality and fertility) |
| • | Stroke and stroke prevention |
| • | Visual deficits & rehabilitation |
| • | Women's health (includes osteoporosis, pelvic pain, and urinary incontinence) |
The foregoing conditions were selected for Disaboom.com’s initial focus based on the number of people currently living with the particular condition, recent growth rates in particular conditions, associated chronic conditions, and other considerations:
Multiple sclerosis is newly diagnosed in an estimated 10,400 people every year, or about 200 new cases per week. People with multiple sclerosis experience fatigue, heat sensitivity, muscle weakness, decreased coordination, blurred vision, and cognitive impairments such as memory problems, slowed thinking, and decreased concentration.
Orthopedic patients, those suffering musculoskeletal impairments such as arthritis, back pain, hip replacements, knee replacements and back surgery, represent one in seven Americans. Arthritis, in fact, is the leading chronic condition reported by the elderly. Back and knee problems account for a large portion of orthopedic patients and resulted in 31 million and 19 million physician visits respectively in 2003. Those who suffer from musculoskeletal impairments live with pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances, and often complain that their bodies ache.
Pediatric conditions, including cerebral palsy and spina bifida, impact the lives of both children and adults, with an estimated 764,000 children and adults in the United States having at least one symptom of cerebral palsy. Additionally, about 8,000 babies and infants are diagnosed with this condition each year, a diagnosis that often signals a life spent dealing with seizures, mental retardation, and problems with movement, posture, limping, jaw control, chewing, sucking, and swallowing. Another roughly 70,000 Americans live with spina bifida. The illness affects an average of eight babies per day, and causes numbness, bladder control issues, paralysis, coordination problems and latex allergies, among other challenging difficulties.
24
Spinal cord injuries are experienced by nearly 11,000 individuals in the United States annually, and more than 190,000 Americans currently live with paralysis caused by spinal cord injuries.
Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the U.S., and on average, someone in this country has a stroke every 45 seconds. According to the American Heart Association, in 1999, more than one million Americans reported difficulties with daily living activities resulting from a stroke.
Traumatic brain injuries are sustained by roughly 1.5 million people in the United States every year. As a result, approximately 80,000 of those people experience the onset of long-term disabilities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that at least 5.3 million Americans have a long-term need for help performing daily living activities as a result of traumatic brain injuries.
In addition to the Core Knowledge content that addresses each of the disability-related conditions, Disaboom.com also provides current updates of recent research findings through brief summaries of research reports, written in lay language, as well as condition-specific medical advice, and a glossary of disability-related medical terms. Disaboom has entered into independent contractor agreements with individuals (the “Content Providers”) in several specialties to provide current medical journal reviews and summaries as well as other written materials to be used by the Company on the website.
The Health section also offers a “Fitness and Nutrition” area that includes consumer-oriented articles that will lead people from the basic medical information in the Core Knowledge entries to the next step: i.e., how do I live as well as possible with this condition? Fitness and Nutrition content is a mix of contributed, licensed, and commissioned content.
The Company anticipates adding a variety of types of licensed content (e.g., comprehensive topics, articles, targeted medical and health information) to the Company’s Health section from The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Harvard Health Publications, and the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research. The Company also anticipates adding several conditions to the Health section, including stroke prevention, neck pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, depression, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and hearing loss.
Community
Disaboom.com provides a Community section designed to give users an opportunity to share their stories and challenges, respond to others’ stories, and develop friendships and connections based on shared interests and experiences. The Community section is also designed to engage visitors in such a way that they visit and participate interactively on the site at a high frequency, thereby increasing site visits, repeat visitors, and amount of time visitors spend on the site.
Through the Community section, Disaboom.com members can start ablog, participate in conversations in thediscussion area, and engage in real-timechat.
Blogs. A blog serves as a personal publishing platform on any topic of interest. For example, bloggers post pictures, videos, their personal stories (challenges, opportunities, triumphs, losses), poems, political commentary, and reactions to current events. Blogs empower members to share their ideas on subjects of personal importance and then gain community feedback through comments.
Discussions. Discussion forums are intended to cultivate conversation in the community. Forums provide an easy vehicle for members to ask questions of each other, engage in debate, and give back to the community by sharing experiences and expertise. We included and established forums as part of the general availability release of our website on October 1, 2007, and the community has taken over. Discussions cover a multitude of topics ranging from medical topics such as ‘Living with Fibromyalgia’ to personal questions such as ‘Do you want attention (for your disability)?’ We currently have over 5,000 forum topics within our community.
25
Chat. Members can connect with each other in real time through the chat section of community. Chat enables instant live connections between users and facilitates meaningful, immediate interaction and conversation.
Groups. Groups were launched in January 2008 and provide a way for site members to connect with each other based on common interests and/or experiences. For example, several bloggers who write regularly about their roles as caregivers may decide to start a caregiver group. Members of the group will be able to post topic-related blogs, pictures, and videos directly to the group’s online location. Instead of having to keep track of multiple blogs and blog authors, individuals interested in reading caregiver-themed content will be able to simply subscribe to the Caregiver Group. All members will have the ability to start a group and gather like-minded members to their cause. There are currently more than 15 active groups within our community and growing.
Microsites
Disaboom.com also provides additional features designed for members and non-members to develop personal relationships, professional opportunities, and support our community – through microsites. A microsite is a separate website which addresses a specific market, business or community need, and is integrated with the Company’s core Content and Community product platform, and partner websites as applicable.
Dating. On October 9, 2007, we acquired the rights to the internet domain and website of Lovebyrd.com, an online dating and social networking service for individuals living with disabilities and other conditions that make it difficult to meet and connect with other people. Over the next six months the Company plans to continue to enhance its offering and the current functionality of its dating microsite via a site redesign, improved customer service, additional advertising and sponsor capabilities, and migrating the site to an in house hosting environment.
DisaboomJobs. The Company’s internet domain DisaboomJobs.com currently provides services to both our community as well as employers. Approximately 15 years after the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the unemployment rate of people living with disabilities is between 65% — 70%. Through DisaboomJobs, members of the community can currently search for job openings from a database of over 500,000 open positions. DisaboomJobs also provides information about employment related consulting and other services, directly related to our community, which the Company can provide to corporations who employ people living with a disability. For example, employers are eligible for certain federal and state tax credits and incentives for hiring eligible employees with a disability, and corporations contracting with the Federal Government are responsible for compliance with disability-related physical accommodations, website accessibility, and other requirements. Over the next six months, the Company plans to further enhance the functionality of DisaboomJobs to include providing the capability for job-seekers to post their resumes via a resume builder, enhancing the capabilities of job seekers to search for job openings which may be a better fit given their unique needs, and continuing to increase content and “how to” information for users regarding their careers, employment and job search, and for employers on both Disaboom.com and DisaboomJobs.com.
26
Accessibility Reviews. We anticipate re-introducing and launching an Accessibility Review microsite. Accessibility Reviews will be written by members of the Disaboom community. A key element of the review, unique to the Company’s community, is the physical accessibility and accommodations within restaurants, hotels, resorts, cruises, airlines, rental cars, attractions, etc. for people living with a disability or functional limitation. Reviews of disability related equipment and equipment providers are also a part of this microsite. Reviews provide another way for community members to share information and interact with the site more frequently, increasing site visits, page views, and time on site.
eCommerce. We anticipate offering a Disaboom branded online catalog, or “white labeled” ecommerce capability, for disability related products. We expect that products will be purchased directly through a secure e-commerce microsite, or indirectly via insurance carrier reimbursement. We expect to enter revenue sharing and/or lead generation agreements with online partners, as well as manufacturers and/or distributors to provide the products for the online catalog. We will not purchase inventory, but rather will receive a percent of each sale from the suppliers. We plan to use a third party credit card verification service to verify all credit card transactions if we do not have a partner relationship which already addresses this capability.
Website Development Agreement with DATA, Inc.
On January 10, 2007 we entered an Acceptance Agreement for Website Development with DATA, Inc. (“DATA”). Under the agreement DATA agreed to design and build a fully operational interactive website for the Company. A new master agreement was executed in August 2007 to encompass site changes going forward in the form of individual work-for-hire agreements, as well as a hosting agreement that utilizes the DATA hosting facility located in Denver. Collectively the January 10, 2007 agreement and the August 2007 master agreement are referred to as the “Agreement”. Other than the independent contractor relationship created between the Company and DATA, Inc. by the Agreement, there is no material relationship between us and DATA.
The Agreement provides that all works created for us under the Agreement are works made for hire giving us all copyright ownership in the work. Furthermore, DATA has agreed to assign and/or license all rights in works not covered by the work made for hire doctrine to us. The Agreement also includes standard confidentiality and indemnification provisions.
We also operate under a collocation and hosting agreement with DataUSA, Inc to provide redundancy in the event our primary hosting environment experiences a lack of connectivity for functionality. The agreement is month-to-month beginning January 31, 2008 for a fee of $650 per month plus any variable bandwidth overages.
Agreement with Cowboy International, Inc.
On July 5, 2007 we entered into a services agreement with Cowboy International, Inc. (“Cowboy”), which was subsequently amended on August 3, 2007 and September 28, 2007. Cowboy was helping us create a comprehensive and integrated marketing, advertising, and branding campaign for our website. On January 31, 2008, the Company terminated the agreement with Cowboy.
Website Advertising & Sponsorships
We expect our largest source of revenue to be from website advertisement and sponsorship sales. Advertising and sponsorship fees and rates vary depending on page, placement, and size of the advertisement on the website. Premium fees are charged for home page and section sponsorships while a lesser fee will apply to run of schedule advertisements which continuously rotate throughout the website. We anticipate that manufacturers of disability-specific pharmaceuticals, products, and services will make up a large percentage of advertisement and sponsorship sales. However, we are promoting our advertising to a broad base of industries, including to companies in the consumer products, travel and tourism industries.

Potential Market
The following article which is posted on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s website provides evidence of the potential size of our market.
Prevalence of Disabilities and Associated Health Conditions Among Adults – United States, 1999(1)
In the United States, the number of persons reporting disabling conditions increased from 49 million during1991-1992 to 54 million during 1994-19952. During 1996, direct medical costs for persons with disabilities were$260 billion3.
For this analysis, disability was defined as self-reported or proxy-reported difficulty with or reportingone or more of eight measures: 1) difficulty with one or more specified functional activities4; 2) difficultywith one or more activities of daily living (IADLS)*; 3) difficulty with one or more instrumental activities ofdaily living (IADLs); 4) reporting one or more selected impairments*; 5) use of assistive aids (e.g., wheelchair,crutches, cane or walker) for >6 months; 6) limitation in the ability to work around the house; 7) limitation in theability to work at a job or business (data for persons aged 16-67 years); and 8) receiving federal benefits on thebasis of an inability to work. A subset of persons with disability also reported the main cause of their disabilityfrom a list of 30 associated health conditions. This subset, defined before the survey was conducted, comprisedpersons reporting difficulty with ADLs IADLs, selected functional activities (excluding seeing, hearing, and havingtheir speech understood by others), or limitation in the ability to work around the house or at a job or business.National estimates were calculated using sample weights representing the inverse of the probability for selectionand complex adjustments for no response and subsampling4.

The analysis focused on 53,636 adults >18 years (consistent with standard age categories used in othernational surveys).
In 1999, 44 million (22%) adults reported having a disability (see Table 1 below). The prevalence rate ofdisability was 24% among women and 20% among men. Approximately 32 million adults had difficulty with one or morefunctional activities such as climbing a flight of stairs (19.4 million), walking three city blocks (19 million), orlifting/carrying 10 lbs (14.2 million); approximately 16.7 million adults had a limitation in the ability to workaround the house; 11 million had either selected impairments or difficulty with IADLs. Two million adults used awheelchair, and seven million used a cane, crutches, or a walker. Of the total percentage of disabilities, 63%occurred among working adults (aged 8-64 years); of these, 27.8 million (16.5%) had a disability and 17.7 million(10.5%) had a limitation in the ability to work at a job or business. Of those adults >65 years, 16.3 million (50%)had a disability. The age-specific prevalence rate of disability was the highest among respondents aged >65 for allfunctional activities, ADLs and IADLs.
Of all adults with disabilities, 41.2 million (93.4%) reported their main health condition associated withtheir disability (see Table 2 below); 7.2 million (17.5%) had arthritis and rheumatism, 6.8 million (16.5%) had backor spine problems, and 3.2 million (7.8%) had heart trouble/hardening of the arteries. Women had higher rates ofarthritis or rheumatism and “other” associated health conditions categories than men. Men had higher rates of harttrouble/hardening for the arteries and deafness or hearing problems than women.
Editorial Note
Disability affects more than one in five adults. Rates of disability are higher among older adults whoalso have higher rates of chronic diseases. However, most disability occurs during the working years, whichcontributes to the high cost estimates of disability. Arthritis or rheumatism, back or spine problems, and hearttrouble/hardening of the arteries continue to be the leading causes of disability. This report differs from asimilar 1994 report by focusing on adults only and using a broader definition of disability5.
The strengths of SIPP include a survey design that allows nationally representative population estimates ofdisability. The broad definition of disability used in SIPP also provides a sensitive estimate of disabilityprevalence that is less likely to overlook persons with disability than other definitions (e.g., clinical or federalbenefit program-based definitions). SIPP links disability with associated health conditions, providing informationthat usually is not available from other data sources. This information is important because many programs addressdisability prevention by disease or condition.

The findings in this report are subject to at least five limitations. First, despite complex statisticaladjustment procedures used to address nonresponse over time, these procedures may not have completely eliminatedbias that resulted from nonresponse errors, especially in subgroup analyses. Second, this report excluded personsin institutions, in the military, and aged <18 years. Third, persons with multiple disabilities may attribute themain disability to the one most disabling at the time of the interview, which may result in inconsistent surveyresponses. Fourth, because of questionnaire design, the main associated health condition was determined for mostbut not all adults with disability; 2.9 million (6.4%) persons whose only disabilities were difficulty with vision,hearing, or speech, who had selected impairments, used assistive aids, or received federal disability benefits werenot asked about a main condition. Finally, the definition of disability used did not assess environmental andsocial barriers, discrimination as the result of disability, and effects on the workforce. These issues areaddressed in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICIDH-2), a unified andstandard framework that describes the dimensions of disability6. ICIDH-2 complements the InternationalClassification of Diseases by organizing information around three dimensions: body level (body systems andstructure), person and society level (activities and participation), and the environment. Because of the dynamicquality of disability, a limitation in one dimension does not predict a limitation in another.
These estimates demonstrate the large impact of disability in working age and older adults and the relativecontributions of associated health conditions, and provide information for public health policy makers and healthsystems. More detailed analyses relating the eight measures of disability and associated health conditions canassist disease-specific efforts in planning, health promotion and disease prevention, and surveillance ofdisability-related national health objectives7. With increasing life expectancy and the aging of the population,health issues related to disability are likely to increase in importance.

Competition
We compete in the market for internet services and information which is a highly competitive and volatile market. We compete with other both for profit and nonprofit medical information websites such as WebMD.com, RevolutionHealth.com and Healthcommunities.com for our medical information services. However, our community is targeted and dedicated to persons living with or directly affected by disabilities or functional limitations which we believe provides us a competitive advantage versus general medical information or diagnosis-oriented websites.
We compete with other social networking websites for social networking services such as MySpace.com, Friendster.com, Facebook.com, Bebo.com, Xanga.com, Ning.com, eHarmony.com, and Match.com. We hope to develop a loyal base of site visitor and participants through the social networking aspect of the website, which in-turn will help generate advertising and sponsorship sales specifically targeted to consumers of disability related products and services. We believe we have a competitive advantage over general social networking sites because we are targeting, through a broad array of content, community, and other services, a specific group of persons with specific consumer and information needs.
We compete with large general internet service companies such as Google, Inc., Yahoo!, Inc., Microsoft, Inc., and America Online for online marketing and advertising. However, because our website content is specifically targeted to persons living with, or directly affected by disabilities or functional limitations, the Company believes there will be little competition for advertisement and sponsorship sales targeting that specific market. We compete with other e-commerce internet sites such as Disabilityproducts.com, Sportaid.com, 180medical.com, and ActiveForever.com for the sale of disability related products. We compete with full service information, product, and networking sites for the disabled community such as Disabled-World.com. We compete with Craig's List and eBay for online sales of consumer goods from consumer to consumer through our classifieds section. However, our classifieds will be specifically targeted to consumers of disability related products. We believe that through our marketing and branding efforts, ongoing product development, the depth and breadth of our content, quality customer service, and partnerships and relationships with advertisers, sponsors, medical professionals, and other leaders in the health industry we will be able to develop a loyal client base in order to compete effectively in the very competitive online marketplace.
Patents and trademarks
We own and maintain a portfolio of intellectual property assets which we hope to continue to build. We believe that our intellectual property assets create great value to the Company and therefore we are taking steps to protect those assets through trademark, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws of the United States and through contractual agreements.
We are applying for federal registration with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office of several trade or service marks on an intent to use basis in order to develop a trademark portfolio and protect the Company's brand. An application for registration of the word mark DISABOOM was filed on October 20, 2006. An application for registration of the word plus design mark for Disaboom was filed on April 2, 2007. An application for registration of the word mark DISABOOM.COM was filed on April 3, 2007. We continue to prosecute these marks and hope to have them registered on the principal register in 2008.
33
Effect of existing or probable government regulations on the business.
-FTC and FDA regulation of drug and medical device advertising and promotion
The FDA and the FTC regulate the form, content and dissemination of labeling, advertising and promotional materials of pharmaceutical or medical device companies, including direct-to-consumer prescription drug and medical device advertising. The FTC regulates over-the-counter drug advertising and, in some cases, medical device advertising. Generally, based on FDA requirements, companies must limit advertising materials to discussions of FDA-approved uses and claims.
Information that promotes the use of pharmaceutical products or medical devices that is put on our website is subject to the full array of the FDA and FTC requirements and enforcement actions. The FDA and FTC would most likely be focused on the advertisements placed on our pages, any other pharmaceutical information found in our education pages, and the products sold through our e-commerce site. The FTC and FDA look for editorial independence from advertisers and sponsors in informational or educational discussions of regulated pharmaceuticals or medical devices. The FDA and the FTC place the principal burden of compliance with advertising and promotional regulations on advertisers and sponsors to make truthful, substantiated claims. If the FDA or the FTC finds that any information on our website violates FDA or FTC regulations, they may take regulatory or judicial action against us or the advertiser or sponsor of that information. State attorneys general may also take similar action based on their state's consumer protection statutes.
-Drug Advertising.
The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDC Act, requires that prescription drugs be approved for a specific medical indication by the FDA prior to marketing. Marketing, advertising or otherwise commercializing products prior to approval is prohibited. Upon approval, the FDA's regulatory authority extends to the labeling and advertising of prescription drugs sold throughout the United States which may only be promoted and advertised for their approved indications. The labeling and advertising must not be false or misleading, and must present all material information, including risk information. Labeling and advertising that violate these legal standards are subject to FDA enforcement action.
The FDA regulates the safety, effectiveness, and labeling of over-the-counter drugs. Together, the FDA and FTC require that OTC drug formulation and labeling comply with FDA approvals or regulations and the promotion of OTC drugs must be truthful, adequately substantiated, and consistent with the labeled uses. OTC drugs that do not meet these requirements are subject to FDA or FTC enforcement action depending on the nature of the violation. In addition, state attorneys general can also bring enforcement actions for alleged unfair or deceptive advertising.
Any increase in FDA regulation of the online advertisements of prescription drugs could make it more difficult for us to obtain advertising and sponsorship revenue. Only recently has the FDA relaxed its formerly restrictive policies on direct to consumer advertising of prescription drugs. If the FDA changes its policies to make them more restrictive, this could also make it more difficult for us to obtain advertising and sponsorship revenue.
34
-FTC regulation of general internet advertising and marketing
The FTC regulates internet advertising under the Federal Trade Commission Act which allows the FTC to act in the interest of all consumers to prevent deceptive and unfair acts or practices. The FTC requires that advertisements be true and not misleading to consumers and that they be substantiated. The FTC also requires clear and conspicuous disclosures.
Failure to comply with the FTC's prohibition of false or misleading claims in advertisements could result in enforcement actions or civil lawsuits for fines and civil penalties. We believe that we have taken steps to protect our company from liability for displaying or disseminating ads in violation of these regulations through our advertising agreements and Company advertising policy. However, a regulatory authority may find that the Company has violated the advertising regulations and may bring an enforcement action against the Company.
-Medical Professional Regulation
Most states regulate the practice of medicine requiring professional licensing. Some states prohibit business entities from practicing medicine. We do not believe that we are engaged in the practice of medicine, but rather we provide information to the general public. The Company has agreements with licensed medical professionals who provide educational information in the form of content for the Company's website. We do not, and do not intend to, provide professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment through our website. A state may determine that some aspect of our business violates that state's licensing laws and may seek to have us discontinue those portions or subject us to penalties or licensure requirements. Any determination that we are a healthcare provider and acted improperly as a healthcare provider may result in liability to us.
Many states regulate the ability of medical professionals to advertise or maintain referral services. We do not represent that a physician's use of the Company's online directory will comply with these or other state laws regulating professional practice. It is possible a state or a court may determine we are responsible for any non-compliance with these laws, which could affect our ability to offer this service to our customers.
-Consumer Protection Regulation
Advertising viewed by visitors on our website and consumer sales from our e-commerce website are subject to federal and state consumer protection laws which regulate unfair and deceptive practices. We are also subject to various other federal and state consumer protection laws, including the ones described below. Most state consumer protection laws are enforced by the Attorneys General of each state.
-COPPA
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") protects personal information of children under the age of 13 disclosed online by prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices in connection with the collection, use, and/or disclosure of personal information from and about children. Our website does not target children under 13, nor do we plan to allow anyone under the age of 18 to register as a Disaboomer. Therefore, the Company will not knowingly be collecting the personal information of children under the age of 13.
-CAN-SPAM
The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 ("CAN-SPAM") regulates commercial emails and provides recipients the right to request the sender to stop sending messages. CAN-SPAM establishes penalties for sending commercial email which are intended to deceive the recipient as to source or content. At this time, we periodically send commercial emails to Disaboomers or other users of our site. Many states have also enacted anti-spam laws. The CAN-SPAM Act preempts many of these statutes.
35
Employees
As of Apri1 14, 2008 we had 34 employees, 29 of which are full time and 5 which are part time.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
In June 2007 we entered into a Sublease Agreement for the lease of office space at 7730 E. Belleview Avenue, Suite A-306, Greenwood Village, CO 80111, which we utilize as our corporate offices. The sublease commenced June 15, 2007 and terminates on July 31, 2009. We pay $7,667 per month under the terms of the sublease.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 29, 2008 the Company filed a complaint against Cowboy International, Inc. ("Cowboy") in the Colorado District Court, for the District of Arapahoe County. The complaint alleges that Cowboy: 1) breached the services agreement entered into between the Company and Cowboy; 2) breached its obligations to hold certain Company information confidential; and 3) failed to comply with its contractual obligations regarding Company intellectual property. The complaint seeks both monetary relief and a declaratory judgment. On April 2, 2008 Cowboy filed counterclaims seeking amounts allegedly due under the services agreement and seeking monetary damages.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Plan of Operation
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on September 5, 2006 with the primary purpose of developing, operating and marketing the first interactive online community dedicated to constantly improving the way Americans with disabilities or functional limitations live their lives. It also serves as a comprehensive online resource not only for people living with such conditions, but their immediate families and friends, caregivers, recreation and rehabilitation providers, and employers. The Company released an initial version of the website on August 15, 2007, released a limited availability version on September 1, 2007, released the general availability version of the website on October 1, 2007, and released an updated and version of the website on January 24, 2008. Our headquarters are located in the metropolitan area of Denver, Colorado.
The activities of the Company in 2007 were primarily organizational in nature, including the planning, ongoing development and integration of our main website (www.disaboom.com), planning and beginning to implement our marketing and business development initiatives, the start up of our sales operations, and continuing to build our management team and staff.
Our focus during 2008 has and will continue to be: (i) the ongoing development and evolution of our main website (www.disaboom.com) and network of related microsites (currently www.disaboomjobs.com, www.lovebyrd.com, www.disaboom-inc.com), operational platform, and product strategy; (ii) to negotiate and to enter into advertising, sponsorship and other agreements, thereby generating revenue and cash flow; and (iii) to increase brand awareness and drive internet traffic to and within our online community through various online and organic media campaigns, business development and partnership initiatives, sponsorships, events and other activities. The greater the awareness of our main website and network of related microsites, community and brand in the marketplace, the greater the number of page views we will experience. The more page views our online community experiences, the greater the inventory of advertising impressions, sponsorship opportunities, and billable revenue under the standard terms of our advertising and sponsorship agreements.
Our financial statements for our fiscal year 2007 and the period from September 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2006 reflect minimal business activities. During this time period we worked primarily on the planning, development and integration of our main website, the planning and initial implementation of our marketing and business development initiatives, the start up of our sales operations, and the development of our management team and staff.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 we generated limited amounts of advertising revenues. While the number of contracts the Company has closed has grown because, we believe it is unlikely we will generate significant revenues from advertising and sponsorships until at least the second calendar quarter of 2008, if not later.
We currently fund our operations primarily through funds raised through private placements completed in March, September, October and December 2007 and March and April 2008. On March 9, 2007 we completed a private placement of our common stock, issuing 6,296,000 shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,148,000. The shares were issued at $0.50 per share.
38
On September 26, 2007 we had a closing of $5,346,000 under a private placement of unregistered securities. A total of 7,128,000 common shares were issued on September 26, 2007 and 5,346,000 warrants to purchase the same number of common shares. On October 9, 2007 we had a final closing of $349,500. A total of 449,333 common shares and 337,000 warrants to purchase the same number of common shares were issued in this final closing. For both the September and October 2007 closings for each $0.75 invested, each purchaser received one common share plus warrants to acquire three-fourths of a share. The warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per share.
On December 10, 2007, we closed a $5,000,000 private placement under the same terms as those of the private placement closed in September and October 2007. On December 10, 2007 we issued a total of 6,666,665 common shares and 5,000,000 warrants to purchase the same number of common shares.
On March 12, 2008 we closed $1,552,000 in gross proceeds under a private placement, and issued 1,552,000 shares of common stock. The shares were issued at $1.00 per share. On April 4, 2008 we closed $800,000 in gross proceeds under a private placement, and issued 800,000 shares of common stock. These shares were issued at $1.00 per share.
On March 10, 2008 and April 2, 2008 we issued an aggregate of 2,623,501 shares of common stock at $1.00 upon the exercise of warrants that the Company issued in September and October 2007.
We expect the proceeds from these offerings, including proceeds collected from the exercise of the warrants, to be sufficient to cover our costs and expenses until the date at which we project our operations will be cash flow positive. However, estimates for expenses may change in which case our capital would not be sufficient for this time period. Further, we may determine it is appropriate to raise additional capital for working capital and general corporate purposes. If we need, or elect, to obtain additional debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on reasonable terms, if at all.
Events Taking Place Subsequent to December 31, 2007
As outlined above in March and April 2008 we closed an aggregate of $2,352,000 in gross proceeds under a private placement, and issued 2,352,000 shares of common stock. In connection with the private placement closed in September and October 2007, we issued investors warrants that consisted of two series, Redeemable and Non-Redeemable. For every four shares of Common Stock purchased, each investor received Redeemable warrants to purchase two shares of Common Stock and Non-Redeemable warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share. In March and April 2008 2,623,501 of the warrants were exercised and 1,127,279 warrants were redeemed by the Company. Accordingly, we received gross proceeds of $2,623,501 upon the exercise of the warrants.
On March 13, 2008, J. Glen House, a co-founder, director and officer of the Company voluntarily surrendered 3,750,000 shares of common stock back to the Company for no consideration, reducing his total share ownership to 7,500,000 shares. Dr. House surrendered the shares to make additional capital stock available for other corporate purposes.
Results of Operations:
Our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from September 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2006 reflect minimal business activities. We incorporated in September 2006, and since that time we worked primarily on the planning, development and integration of our main website, the planning and initial implementation our marketing and business development initiatives, the start up of our sales operations, and the initial development of our management team and staff.
39
In January 2007 we entered into the Website Development Agreement with DATA, Inc. (“Data”), which was our first material financial commitment, totaling $280,000 with payments to be made through July 2007. Upon the completion of our original contract with DATA in July 2007, a new master agreement was negotiated to encompass site changes through December 2007 in the form of individual work-for-hire agreements. We also continued to work with DATA to complete outstanding change orders and final site modifications in advance of the general availability release of our website which occurred on October 1, 2007. These changes resulted from additional creative and execution input from Disaboom over the initial months of the project, and Cowboy International, Inc. (“Cowboy”). During 2007, the Company paid a total of approximately $482,000 to Data for services rendered.
On July 5, 2007 we entered into a services agreement with Cowboy was retained to help the Company create a comprehensive and integrated marketing, advertising, and branding campaign for our main website. During 2007, the Company paid a total of approximately $904,000 to Cowboy for services rendered. On January 31, 2008, the Company terminated its agreement with Cowboy.
On October 9, 2007, we acquired the rights to the internet domain and website of Lovebyrd.com which is an online dating and social networking service for individuals living with conditions that make it difficult to meet and connect with other people. Although we previously announced that these services would be available free of charge, we anticipate that as we integrate the online and dating and social networking services into our online community that we will charge users for the dating service.
As described above, we currently fund our operations primarily through funds raised in private placements of our common stock completed in March, September, October, December 2007 and March 2008. We expect the proceeds from these offerings, including proceeds collected from the exercise of certain of our outstanding warrants, to be sufficient to cover our costs and expenses for at least the next twelve months. However, estimates for expenses, as well as our market approach and timing may change, or we may determine it is appropriate to raise additional capital for working capital and general corporate purposes, and decide to obtain additional debt or equity financing during 2008, but there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on reasonable terms, if at all.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, and from inception our operating expenses totaled $8,069,311 and $8,086,298 respectively. Approximately 83% of the expenditures we incurred related to payroll and stock compensation costs ($2,814,915 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and from inception), website development costs ($475,462 and $485,462 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and from inception, respectively), marketing and advertising costs ($2,851,819 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and from inception) and legal and consulting fees ($591,982 and $596,219 for the year ended December 31, 2007 and from inception, respectively).
During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, the Company launched the general availability version of our website and began receiving limited amounts of revenue from its website through the sale of advertising and sponsorship products. During the quarter (and fiscal year) ended December 31, 2007 we billed $106,748 in accordance with our executed insertion orders, and recognized $83,682 in advertising and sponsorship revenue. We recognize advertising and sponsorship revenue ratably over the period in which it is delivered and earned.
40
At December 31, 2007, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (primarily mutual funds) were $6,645,193. As reflected in our statement of operations during the 2007 fiscal year the Company realized a gain of $86,969 from interest related to cash accounts and dividends on marketable securities held by the Company. The Company also recorded an unrealized loss as a result of a decrease in value of mutual funds. As a result of general market conditions, these funds continued decreasing in value, and we anticipate that the line item for interest income or loss in our financial statements for our quarter ended March 31, 2008 will reflect a loss for the quarter. The Company actively monitors its investment policies and decisions and will evaluate whether it is appropriate for the Company to continue to invest in the marketable securities at issue.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements.
Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operation and/or financial condition. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements included in this prospectus.
While all of the significant accounting policies are important to the Company’s financial statements, the following accounting policies and the estimates derived therefrom, have been identified as being critical:
Website development costs:
The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-2, “Accounting for Website Development Costs,” which specifies the appropriate accounting for costs incurred in connection with the development and maintenance of websites. Under the EITF 00-2, costs related to certain website development activities are expensed as incurred (such as planning and operating stage activities). Costs relating to certain website application and infrastructure development are generally capitalized, and are amortized over their estimated useful life.
Revenue Recognition:
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company began receiving limited amounts of revenue from its website through the sale of advertising and sponsorship revenue. Advertising and sponsorship revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which it is delivered and earned.
Short-term investments:
The Company accounts for short-term marketable securities in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. At December 31, 2007, marketable securities are classified as trading securities as the Company expects to use these funds for operating purposes within the next year. Trading securities are reported at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings.
41
Stock-based Compensation:
The Company accounts for stock options and similar equity instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS 123(R) requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS 123(R) also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period).

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of compensation for the executive officers identified in the Summary Compensation Table contained above for Messrs. Roth, House, Walpuck, Fay and Lieber.
The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”) reviews and approves the total direct compensation packages for each of our executive officers. Notably the salary and other benefits payable to our named executive officers are set forth in employment agreements which are discussed below. Stock option grants, as applicable to certain of the named executive officers, are approved by the full board of directors.
Cash Compensation Payable To Our Named Executive Officers.
Our Named Executive Officers receive a base salary payable in accordance with our normal payroll practices and pursuant to agreements between each of these officers and Disaboom (which contracts are described in more detail below). Based on the Committee’s knowledge of the industry and Disaboom’s performance to date the Committee believes that their base salaries are competitive to those that are received by comparable officers with comparable responsibilities in similar companies. Cash compensation in 2007 also included a year-end bonus and other cash benefits or reimbursements which comprised between 5% and 8% of the Named Executive Officers’ annual salary, excluding approximately $50,000 paid to Mr. Lieber as an independent consultant for services he provided the Company prior to May 2007, and excluding board meeting fees for Messrs. Roth, House and Walpuck.
When the Committee considers total cash compensation for our Named Executive Officers, it does so by evaluating their responsibilities, experience and the competitive marketplace. Specifically, the Committee considers the following factors:
| 1. | the executive's leadership and operational performance and potential to enhance long-term value to the Company's shareholders; |
| 2. | performance compared to the financial, operational and strategic goals established for the Company; |
| 3. | the nature, scope and level of the executive's responsibilities; |
| 4. | competitive market compensation paid by other companies for similar positions, experience and performance levels; and |
| 5. | the executive's current salary, bonus, cash incentive compensation, and the appropriate balance between incentives for medium-term and short-term performance. |
45
Option Grants To Our Named Executive Officers.
We have granted stock options to certain of our Named Executive Officers. These option grants are intended to provide incentives to our officers who contribute to the success of Disaboom by offering them the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in it. We believe that option grants also help to align the interests of our management and employees with the interests of shareholders.
To date, of our Named Executive Officers, we have granted options to our President and Chief Financial Officer, John Walpuck, and our Senior Vice President of Sales, Howard Lieber. Mr. Walpuck’s options vest over time, with certain options only vesting upon the achievement of certain company events. A portion of Mr. Lieber’s options vested over time, however all of Mr. Lieber’ currently unvested options vest over a two year period in accordance with the terms and performance objectives of the Company’s revised Sales Compensation Plan. We believe that option these option grants serve as additional incentive for our officers and in turn the achievement of these objectives will help our performance. Messrs. Roth and House have not been granted any options to date.
Employment Agreements with our Named Executive Officers.
We have entered into employment agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers. Each of these officers is paid a salary for their services and certain of our executive officers have also been granted stock options in consideration for their services. When the Compensation Committee considers salaries for our executive officers, it does so by evaluating their responsibilities, experience, the competitive marketplace, and our financial resources and projections. Pursuant to its Charter, our Compensation Committee reviews and approves the terms of the compensation granted to our executive officers.
J.W. Roth: On October 1, 2007, we entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, J. W. Roth. The agreement is for an initial three year term and may be automatically extended for additional one year terms. Pursuant to the agreement Mr. Roth receives an annual salary of $200,000.

Mr. Fay’s employment agreement was for an initial two year term, pursuant to which at the time of his resignation we were paying him an annual salary of $150,000. Mr. Fay resigned as a Company officer effective February 29, 2008 and terminated his employment agreement.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTORS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS
There have not been any transactions, or proposed transactions, since our inception to which the Company was or is to be a party, in which any Company director or executive officer, any nominee for election as a director, any security holder beneficially owning more than five percent of the common stock of the Company, or any member of the immediate family of the aforementioned persons had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest, except as follows:
J.W. Roth, an officer and director of the Company advanced approximately $63,000 to the Company to help fund our working capital start up costs. Mr. Roth converted $50,000 into 100,000 shares of our common stock in March 2007, and the remaining $13,000 was subsequently repaid.
Prior to Patrick Templeton being appointed to our Board of Directors, we engaged BKSH &Associates (BKSH) to provide Disaboom governmental relations consulting services. We paid BKSH a monthly fee of $7,500 for three months for the consulting services. In his capacity as a consultant for BKSH, Mr. Templeton was involved in providing such consulting services to Disaboom, and in that capacity received half of the fees Disaboom paid to BKSH, for an aggregate of approximately $11,250.
The Company currently maintains a bank account through Petso Financial Advisors, Inc./Cambridge Investment Research Advisors, Inc. Through this account the Company invests a portion of its cash in short term liquid investments. Mr. Petso, who currently serves on our Board of Directors and as the Chairman of our Audit Committee, is the president of Petso Financial Advisors. Mr. Petso has not received any commissions or other remuneration as a result of our maintenance of the account at Petso Financial Advisors.
On February 29, 2008 Kevin Hall was appointed to our Board of Directors. Further, on March 1, 2008 Mr. Hall began providing the Company consulting services related to the continuing development of our website and technical operations. In consideration we have orally agreed to pay Mr. Hall $10,000 per month through May 31, 2008, and thereafter have agreed to pay Mr. Hall $3,750 per calendar quarter while he is serving as a Company consultant.

Director Independence
Our Board of Directors currently consists of Messrs. Roth, Walpuck, House, Petso, Lazzaro, Overgaard, Templeton and Hall. The Company defines “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 4200(a) (15) of the Nasdaq listing standards. Messrs. Petso, Templeton, Lazzaro, and Overgaard qualify as independent and none has any material relationship with the Company that might interfere with his exercise of independent judgment. Messrs. Petso, Lazzaro and Overgaard each serve on our audit, nominating, and compensation committees.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITY
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any person, and the estate and personal representative of any such person, against all liability and expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of, or in any similar managerial or fiduciary position of, another domestic or foreign corporation or other individual or entity or of an employee benefit plan. The Company also shall indemnify any person who is serving or has served the Corporation as director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, and that person’s estate and personal representative, to the extent and in the manner provided in any bylaw, resolution of the shareholders or directors, contract, or otherwise, so long as such provision is legally permissible. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Board of Directors
Disaboom, Inc.
Denver, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Disaboom, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007, the period from September 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2006 and the period from September 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Disaboom, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the periods from September 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2006 and September 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DISABOOM, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
1. | Organization and basis of presentation: |
| Disaboom, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on September 5, 2006 with the primary purpose of developing the first interactive online community dedicated to constantly improving the way Americans with disabilities or functional limitations live their lives. It serves as a comprehensive online resource not only for people living with such conditions, but their immediate families and friends, caregivers, recreation and rehabilitation providers, and employers. The Company incorporated in September 2006, and through the period ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s primary activities continued to be organizational in nature. The Company’s activities have consisted primarily of the planning, development and integration of our main website, the planning and initial implementation of our marketing and business development initiatives, the start up of its sales operations, and the initial development of its management team and staff. The Company released a beta version of the website on August 15, 2007, released a limited availability version on September 1, 2007, and released the general availability version of the website on October 1, 2007. The Company’s headquarters are located in the metropolitan area of Denver, Colorado. |
2. | Summary of significant accounting policies: |
| Development stage company: |
| The Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7 for its characterization of the Company as development stage. Furthermore, the Company has adopted Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities,” which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organizational costs, to be expensed as incurred. |
| During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company began receiving limited amounts of revenue from its website through the sale of advertising and sponsorship products. Advertising and sponsorship revenue comprised 99% of the Company’s total revenue received. Advertising and sponsorship revenue is recognized ratably over the period in which it is delivered and earned. At December 31, 2007, other current liabilities include approximately $6,000 of deferred revenue that represents amounts received under advertising contracts for which the advertisements have not yet been presented. |
| Cash and cash equivalents: |
| The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. |
| Short-term investments consist of a certificate of deposit with an original maturity of six months and mutual funds. The Company accounts for short-term marketable securities in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”. |
| Marketable securities are classified as trading securities, as the Company expects to use these funds for operating purposes within the next year. Trading securities are reported at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are included in earnings. |
F-7
| Use of estimates in financial statement preparation: |
| The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
| Accounts receivable are recorded at their face amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balance. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. The allowance for doubtful accounts was zero at December 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. At December 31, 2007, three customers accounted for 25%, 24% and 14% of accounts receivable, and two customers accounted for 28% and 24% of total revenues. |
| Website development costs: |
| The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-2, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs,” which specifies the appropriate accounting for costs incurred in connection with the development and maintenance of web sites. Under EITF 00-2, costs related to certain web site development activities are expensed as incurred (such as planning and operating stage activities). Costs relating to certain website application and infrastructure development are generally capitalized, and are amortized over their estimated useful life. In January 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to begin its website development. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and the period from September 5, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2006, website development costs of approximately $475,000 and $10,000, respectively, were expensed. |
| Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the accounts are relieved of cost and accumulated depreciation and the related gain or loss is reflected in earnings. The useful lives are generally as follows: |
| |
---|
Furniture and fixtures | | | 3 - 5 years | | |
Computer software, hardware and office equipment | | | 3 - 5 years | | |
| Stock-based compensation: |
| The Company accounts for stock options and similar equity instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. SFAS 123(R) requires the recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. SFAS 123(R) also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). |
| The Board of Directors has adopted the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan authorizes the Board of Directors to grant stock bonuses or stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants. Options granted under the 2006 Plan may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The aggregate number of shares of common stock as to which options and bonuses may be granted under the 2006 Plan cannot exceed 7,000,000. The number of shares reserved under the 2006 Plan was increased to 7,000,000 on October 1, 2007. |
| During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company granted 6,478,500 stock options to employees and consultants at a weighted average exercise price of $.87 per share. The options are subject to various vesting schedules and are exercisable through 2014. The fair value of stock options at the dates of grant was $2,928,769. The Company used the following assumptions to determine the fair value of stock option grants during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007: |
F-8
| |
---|
Expected term | | | 2.5 - 6 years | | |
Volatility | | | 47% - 91% | | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 3.50 - 5.07% | | |
Dividend yield | | | 0% | | |
| The expected term of stock options represents the period of time that the stock options granted are expected to be outstanding and was calculated using the simplified method per the guidance of SAB 107 “Share Based Payment” (“SAB 107”) for “plain vanilla” options. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the common stock of similar companies in the development stage. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury bill rate for the expected term of the related stock options. The dividend yield represents the anticipated cash dividend over the expected term of the stock options. |

| |
| As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $1,868,647 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 4 years. |
| The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”, which establishes standards for computing and presenting net earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the number of dilutive potential common share equivalents during the period. Stock options and warrants are not considered in the calculation, as the impact of potential common shares (18,377,521 at December 31, 2007) would be to decrease loss per share. Therefore, diluted loss per share is equivalent to basic loss per share. |
F-9
| The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). Under the provisions of SFAS 109, a deferred tax liability or asset (net of a valuation allowance) is provided in the financial statements by applying the provisions of applicable laws to measure the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences that will result in net taxable or deductible amounts in future years as a result of events recognized in the financial statements in the current or preceding years. |
| In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for IncomeTaxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. |
| FIN 48 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 has been recorded net in deferred tax assets, which resulted in no FIN 48 liability on the balance sheet. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was zero. There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit the Company’s tax returns from 2006 through the current period. The Company’s policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statement of operations. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties assessed or recorded. Because the Company has provided a full valuation allowance on all of its deferred tax assets, the adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company’s effective tax rate. |
| Fair value of financial instruments: |
| The carrying amounts of financial instruments such as cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of the instruments. |
| The Company expenses advertising expenses as incurred. Advertising expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 were approximately $902,000. Advertising expenses for the period from September 5, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2006 were not significant. Advertising expenses are included in sales and marketing expenses in the statement of operations. |
| In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (the FSP). The FSP amends SFAS No. 157 to delay the effective date of Statement 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually). For items within its scope, the FSP defers the effective date of Statement 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. |
| In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets andFinancial Liabilities- including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(“SFAS 159”), which allows an entity to choose to measure certain financial instruments and liabilities at fair value. Subsequent measurements for the financial instruments and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. SFAS 159 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 159 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
F-10
| In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations(“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141R on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
| In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated FinancialStatements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51(“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. This statement is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 160 on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
| In November 2006, the Company issued 21,250,000 shares of its common shares at par value (or $0.0001 per share) in exchange for a receivable. Proceeds of $2,125 were received in February 2007. |

The shares were issued at a price of $0.75 per share. For each $0.75 invested, the purchaser received one common share plus warrants to acquire three-fourths of share. Offering costs in relation to this private placement totaled approximately $539,000. |
| In October 2007, the Company had a closing of $349,500 under a private placement of unregistered securities. For each $0.75 invested, each purchaser received one common share plus warrants to acquire three-fourths of a share. A total of 449,333 common shares and 337,000 warrants to purchase the same number of common shares were issued in this closing. Offering costs in relation to this private placement totaled approximately $28,700. |
| In connection with the September 2007 and October 2007 private placements, the Company also granted 554,800 warrants, exercisable at a price of $2.25 per share, to placement agents as partial commissions for the offering. The warrants expire three years from their date of issuance. |
| In December 2007, the Company closed a $5,000,000 private placement under the same terms as those of the private placement closed in September and October 2007. In December 2007 the company issued a total of 6,666,665 common shares and 5,000,000 warrants to purchase the same number of common shares were issued at closing. The shares of common stock are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Offering costs in relation to this private placement totaled $405,000. The Company also granted an aggregate of 455,396 warrants to placement agents as partial commissions for the offering containing the same terms and conditions as those offered to investors. |
| Warrants related to the September 2007, October 2007 and December 2007 private placements consisted of two series, Redeemable and Non-Redeemable. For every four shares of Common Stock purchased, each purchaser received Redeemable warrants to purchase two shares of Common Stock and Non-Redeemable warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share.

| The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards if there has been a change of ownership as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Such an analysis has not been performed by the Company to determined the impact of these provisions on the Company’s net operating losses, though managment believes the impact would be minimal, if any. A limitation under these provisions would reduce the amount of losses available to offset future taxable income of the Company. |
| At December 31, 2007, approximately $3.9 million of net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes were available to offset future taxable income through the year 2027. |

Undertakings
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes to:
(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
| (i) | Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); |
| (ii) | Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement, and |
| (iii) | Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. |
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
