NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Propell Corporation (the Company) is a fully integrated provider of personalized products and services, delivered through multiple channels, including online stores, its own proprietary photo kiosks, photo imaging locations, and independent and company-owned retail stores.
Propell Corporation is a Delaware corporation that was formed on January 29, 2008. Propell acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Crystal Magic, Inc. on April 10, 2008. Propell acquired 100% of the membership interests, and voting control, of Mountain Capital, LLC d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions and Auleron 2005, LLC on May 5, 2008.
Crystal Magic, Inc. (Crystal) was formed as a Florida corporation on April 10, 1998, is headquartered in Orlando, Florida and its primary business is to provide subsurface etched photo crystal and personalized subsurface etched promotional products. Crystal Magic owns and operates retail kiosks and displays in theme parks (Disneyworld (2) and Universal Orlando (2)). Crystal Magic utilizes the distribution channels of more than 20,000 distributors that are members of the Advertising Specialty Institute and/or the Promotional Products Association International organizations for its custom awards and gift products.
Mountain Capital, LLC d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions is a New York State Limited Liability Company which assembles and distributes free standing kiosks which produce pictures and related products and services using various input media such as camera digital memory cards, CDs etc. Mountain Capitals management, administrative, and service personnel are currently headquartered in Orlando, Florida with its assembly, warehouse and marketing operations in Brea, California.
Auleron 2005, LLC is a New York State Limited Liability Company which performs a variety of technology services for customers throughout North America using independent subcontractors who are coordinated and directed through its Project Management Organization in its sole office in Orlando, Florida.
Propell obtained voting control of Crystal Magic, Inc. on April 8, 2009. Auleron 2005 LLCs operations have been temporarily discontinued. See Note 6 Investments in Affiliated Entities for additional information as to how the investments in these two companies are accounted for in the attached financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Propell Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order for the financial statements to be not misleading have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Some notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2008 as reported in Form 10-K have been omitted.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Propell considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2009 the Company had $211,580 of unrestricted cash to be used for future business operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of cash deposits and trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides on-going credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. At June 30, 2009, the Company did not have any deposits in excess of FDIC limits.

PROPELL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their generally short maturities. The fair value of long-term debt, which approximates its carrying value, is based on current rates at which we could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
Inventory
Inventory consists of kiosks and components and is stated at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO (first in, first out) method.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Compensated Absences
Employees of the Company are entitled to paid vacation depending upon length of service and other factors. The amount of compensation for future vacations cannot be reasonably estimated. The Companys policy is to recognize compensated vacations when actually paid to employees. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Propell does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicated that the book value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether events and circumstances have occurred which indicate possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or group of assets over the estimated remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred based on expected cash flows, such loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when products are shipped or services are delivered to customers, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Net revenues include product sales net of returns and allowances.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Propell Corporation, Crystal Magic, Inc. as of April 9, 2009 and Mountain Capital, LLC after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investments in Affiliates and Unconsolidated Entities
Propell uses the cost method to account for our investments in companies that are not controlled and for which there is no ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. In accordance with the cost method, these investments are recorded at cost or fair value, as appropriate.
Investments in affiliates in which the Company does not exercise control and has a 20% or more voting interest are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. If the fair value of an investment in an affiliate is below its carrying value and the difference is deemed to be other than temporary, the difference between the fair value and the carrying cost is charged to earnings. See Notes 6.
NOTE 2 LEASES
On March 1, 2007 Mountain Capital, LLC entered into a lease agreement to rent office and warehouse space in Brea, California. The term is three years without any renewal options. The total lease expense for period ending June 30, 2009 was $18,227. The remaining commitment requires annual lease payments of $24,560 and expires on February 28, 2010.
On May 5, 2008 Propel Corporation entered into a lease agreement to rent office space in San Anselmo, California. The term was through April 30, 2009 and we continue to rent on a month to month basis. The lease expense for the period ending June 30, 2009 was $8,991. The remaining commitment requires month to month lease payments of $1,498.
Crystal Magic, Inc. commenced leasing its corporate facility on January 1, 2005 for three years providing for two additional three year options. This lease was amended in May 2009 and converted to a month to month tenancy that will expire on December 31, 2009. The remaining commitment requires lease payments of $12,000 through December 31, 2009. The total lease expense for the period of April 9, - June 30, 2009 was $5,467.
Minimum annual rents for all leases for the remaining lease terms are as follows:

NOTE 5 DISTRIBUTIONS TO AFFILIATE
Propell made short-term advances to its wholly owned subsidiary, Crystal Magic, Inc., to be used as working capital, primarily to develop and expand its Web Stores on Demand program, in the amount of $1,061,206. A total of $122,542 was advanced during the period of January 1, 2009 April 8, 2009. These advances are due upon demand and bear no interest. Management of Propell believes that Crystal may eventually be able to repay these advances to Propell; however, due to Propells lack of control over Crystal Magic through April 8, 2009, the advances had been recorded as distributions to affiliate and were reflected as a reduction of stockholders equity.
NOTE 6 INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
In April 2008, Propell acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Crystal Magic, Inc. in exchange for Propell common shares. The former majority shareholder of Crystal was issued a preferred stock option, which effectively prevented Propell from having control of Crystal while this option was in place. On April 8, 2009, this option was eliminated and we now have control of Crystal Magic, Inc. Due to Crystal Magic, Inc.s history of operating losses and its negative working capital position, it was determined that its fair value as of the date of control, April 8 2009, is $-0-. Beginning April 9, 2009, Crystal Magics financial statements are being consolidated into Propell.
In May 2008, Propell acquired 100% of the ownership interests of Auleron 2005, LLC. This investment is accounted for as an asset purchase. The operations of Auleron 2005, LLC have been temporarily discontinued. The fair value of the net assets of Auleron 2005, LLC as of the date of acquisition have been determined to be immaterial to the financial statements and at June 30, 2009 were determine to have $-0- value.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On April 10, 2008, Propell Corporation (Propell) completed its acquisition of Crystal Magic, Inc., (CM). On May 6, 2008, Propell completed its acquisition of Auleron 2005 LLC (Auleron) and Mountain Capital LLC (Mountain). For accounting purposes, the business combination of Propell and Mountain has been treated as a business combination with Propell as the acquirer. For accounting purposes, the business combination of Propell and Crystal Magic had been treated as an investment in our balance sheet and is accounted for under the cost method of accounting through April 8, 2009, the date that we obtained control of Crystal Magic, Inc.. At the time of the merger, Crystal Magic had a stockholders deficit and thus we determined the carrying value of this investment in our financial statements to be zero. Up until April 8, 2009 Crystal Magics financial statements were not consolidated with ours for accounting purposes based on the fact that the major shareholder, Mr. Rhodes could exert substantial influence over our board of directors due to our lack of independent directors and Mr. Rhodes had an option to acquire shares of Crystal Magic that if exercised could have resulted in him, and not us, being deemed to have control over Crystal Magic. On April 8, 2009 Mr. Rhodes entered into an agreement with us which, among other things, terminated the option. In addition, Mr. Rhodes no longer serves on our board of directors. Crystal Magic engaged in the initial merger with Propell for the purpose of consolidating revenue, expenses and resources. The following unaudited pro forma income statements are based on historical financial statements of Propell, Crystal Magic and Mountain. The acquisition of AUL is accounted for as an asset purchase. AUL is not a part of these pro forma financial statements. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are provided for information purposes only. The pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the acquisition been completed at the dates indicated below. In addition, the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For pro forma purposes:
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Income Statement for the period ended December 31, 2008 combines the historical income statements of Propell, Crystal Magic and Mountain for the indicated periods, giving effect to the acquisitions/mergers as if they had occurred on January 1, 2008.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Income Statement for the six months ended June 30, 2009 combines the historical income statements of Propell, Crystal Magic and Mountain for the indicated periods, giving effect to the acquisitions/mergers as if they had occurred on January 1, 2009.
These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements of Propell Corporation, Crystal Magic and Mountain Capital as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Crystal Magic, Inc.
Orlando, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Crystal Magic, Inc., a Florida Corporation, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 Crystal Magic, Inc., as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 9. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Crystal Magic, Inc. (the Company) was formed as a Florida Corporation on April 10, 1998. The Company is headquartered in Orlando, Florida and its primary business is to provide personalized subsurface etched photo crystal and subsurface etched promotional products. The Company is one of the largest subsurface etching companies in North America and owns and operates retail kiosks and displays in theme parks (Disneyworld (3), Disneyland (3), and Universal Orlando (2)). The Company utilizes the distribution channel of more than 20,000 distributors that are members of the Advertising Specialty Institute and or the Promotional Products Association International organizations for its custom awards and gift products.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in banks.
Accounts Receivable
The Company considers accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, the uncollectible amounts will be charged against operations when that determination is made. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 the Company recognized bad debt expense of $5,707 and $540 respectively.
Property & Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment are computed principally by the straight-line method based upon estimated lives of assets ranging between five to seven years. Depreciation for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $43,794 and $36,375, respectively.
Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition of property and equipment, the costs and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in results from operations.
Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist primarily of accounts receivable and obligations under accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
The Company has applied certain assumptions in estimating these fair values. The use of different assumptions or methodologies may have a material effect on the estimates of fair values.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2008 presentation.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when products are delivered or shipped to customers.
Compensated Absences
Employees of the Company are entitled to paid vacation depending upon lengths of service and other factors. The amount of compensation for future vacations cannot be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Companys policy is to recognize compensated vacations when actually paid to employees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company is an S Corporation for income tax purposes. Consequently, Federal income taxes are not payable by, or provided for, the Company. Stockholders are taxed individually on their shares of the Company's earnings. Accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes.
Loss Per Share
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no stock options or securities convertible into any form of equity outstanding. Therefore, the calculation of Loss Per Share is equal to the number of common shares outstanding during the respective fiscal years.
Also, during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 there were no transactions that either reduced or increased the total number of outstanding shares. Therefore, the weighted average number of shares used to calculate Loss per Share equals the number of shares outstanding for the fiscal years presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
NOTE 2 - PROPERTY & EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are summarized as follows at December 31:

NOTE 9 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses and has not yet obtained capital needed to achieve managements plans and support its operations and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such financing. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to raise additional capital and is seeking to implement other strategies to meet operational goals and generate cash from operation to pay obligations and implement the business plan.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Plan of Operations
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Financial Statements and related notes. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in Critical Accounting Policies, and have not changed significantly.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELATING TO THE SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
Certain statements made in this report may constitute forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Registrant to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, should, potential, continue, expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates, and similar expressions. These statements are based on our current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.. Although we believe that the expectations reflected-in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, other than as required by law. In light of these assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur and actual results and events may vary significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
General
The following analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including footnotes, and other information presented elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The following Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition.
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statement as of June 30, 2009 and our pro forma results of operations as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. For accounting purposes, our interest in Crystal Magic, Inc. has been classified as an investment in our balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2008 and is accounted for under the cost method of accounting through April 8, 2009, the date that we obtained control of Crystal Magic, Inc. for accounting purposes. At the time of the merger of Crystal Magic into an acquisition subsidiary of ours, Crystal Magic had a stockholders deficit and thus we determined the carrying value of this investment in our financial statements to be zero. Up until April 8, 2009, Crystal Magics financial statements were not consolidated with ours for accounting purposes based on the fact that Mr. Rhodes could exert substantial influence over our board of directors and Mr. Rhodes had an option to acquire shares of Crystal Magic that if exercised could have resulted in him, and not us, being deemed to have control over Crystal Magic. Mr. Rhodes entered into an agreement with us which, among other things, terminated the option. In addition, Mr. Rhodes no longer serves on our board of directors. Crystal Magics financial statements have been consolidated with ours beginning April 9, 2009. The revenue derived from the operations of Mountain Capital, LLC is reflected in our revenue and expenses in our income statement and our investment in Auleron 2005, LLC is accounted for as an asset purchase. The operations of Auleron 2005, LLC have been temporarily discontinued. We determined the net fair market value of the assets and liabilities of Auleron 2005, LLC to be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis we review our estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments are outlined below in Critical Accounting Policies.

Overview
Propell Corporation is a Delaware corporation and was originally formed on January 29, 2008 as CA Photo Acquisition Corp. On April 10, 2008 Crystal Magic, Inc. (CMI) merged with an acquisition subsidiary of ours formed solely for the purpose of the merger. Crystal Magic was the surviving corporation, thus becoming our wholly owned subsidiary. As part of this transaction, we issued an aggregate of 5,400,000 shares to the former shareholders of CMI, thus giving the CMI shareholders 100% of our outstanding stock. . In addition, Mr. Rhodes was issued an option to acquire CMI shares which exercised could have resulted in Mr. Rhodes being deemed to have control over CMI. Due to the significant influence that Steven Rhodes could have exerted with respect to Crystal Magic, CMI had been classified as an investment on Propells balance sheet and has been accounted for under the cost method through April 8, 2009, the date that we obtained control of Crystal Magic, Inc.. On May 6, 2008, we acquired each of Mountain Capital, LLC (d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions) (AMS) and Auleron 2005, LLC (d/b/a Auleron Technologies) (AUL) and made each a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. A total of 2,094,864 shares of the Companys common stock were issued to the members of Mountain Capital, LLC and a total of 136,088 shares of the Companys common stock were issued to the members of AUL. We accounted for the acquisition of AMS using the Purchase Method provided for in SFAS 141 Business Combinations and allocated the purchase price to the assets and liabilities that were acquired, based on their fair values. We accounted for our investment in AUL as an asset purchase. The mergers were completed in order to form a consolidated enterprise with subsidiaries that each have experience in complementary parts of the imaging and personalized products industries, and to expand their capabilities both online and at retail.
Our reportable businesses are more fully individually described below under Operating Model and Reporting Structure.
OUR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our current operations involve sales and operations from two of our subsidiaries, CMI and AMS, as well as Propell. For accounting purposes, our interest in Crystal Magic, Inc. was classified as an investment in our balance sheet and was accounted for under the cost method of accounting through April 8, 2009, the date that we obtained control of Crystal Magic, Inc.. Effective with our gaining control of CMI on April 8, 2009, we begain consolidating its activities and financial position into our consolidated financial statements. At the time of the merger, Crystal Magic had a stockholders deficit and thus we determined the carrying value of this investment in our financial statements to be zero. Up until April 8, 2009 Crystal Magics financial statements were not consolidated with ours for accounting purposes based on the fact that Mr. Rhodes could exert substantial influence over our board of directors due to our lack of independent directors and Mr. Rhodes had an option to acquire shares of Crystal Magic that if exercised could have resulted in him, and not us, being deemed to have control over Crystal Magic. On April 8, 2009 Mr. Rhodes entered into an agreement with us which, among other things, terminated the option. In addition, Mr. Rhodes no longer serves on our board of directors. Crystal Magic engaged in the initial merger with Propell for the purpose of consolidating revenue, expenses and resources. The revenue derived from the operations of Mountain Capital, LLC is reflected in our revenue and expenses in our income statement and our investment in Auleron 2005, LLC is classified as an asset purchase. The operations of Auleron 2005, LLC have been temporarily discontinued. We determined the net fair market value of the assets and liabilities of Auleron 2005, LLC to be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
CMIs core business began nearly a decade ago by using proprietary laser technology to create three-dimensional laser images engraved inside solid crystal blocks (such as paperweights) based on photographs of consumers, which then are visibly engraved inside the crystal, and are sold as gifts in company-owned stores within Disney and Universal theme parks, and later expanded to a wide range of image-based merchandise, such as mugs, T-shirts and other merchandise upon which personal photos, logos or other artwork are printed, offered through mass market retail. The companys founder has long-standing relationships with Disney, Universal Studios and other entertainment locations. Today, our CMI divisions products are sold at Disney World and Universal theme parks, as well as on a wholesale basis to retailers, to small and large corporate clients, and through the proprietary online system that allows partners to create Web Stores on Demand (also marketed as PropellStores). This system provides a special web site at which a customer-whether a business, group, or individual-can design and set up a web store featuring their own logos, photos or other artwork. That web store can then be embedded into the customers own web site. We then operate that store for the customer, taking orders, manufacturing and shipping product and paying a share of our revenue to the customer.
Propell believes the PropellStores product opens up substantial new opportunities and channels by providing e-commerce web sites with the opportunity to easily integrate a personalized merchandise online store into their own site with little effort or cost. CMI and other strategic outsource partners will perform the fulfillment, manufacturing, shipping and billing of these product(s). The PropellStores product was a key part of our strategy for 2008 and continues to be a key part of our strategy for 2009 and beyond. CMI also has a long track record delivering personalized image-based products to the $19.4 billion promotional, incentive and award products industry, delivering quantities anywhere from one unit to over 500,000 in a single order. CMI has served these markets since 2001, and sees opportunity to leverage the PropellStores products capabilities to expand its efforts in the promotional products category.
28
AMS provides digital photo kiosk solutions for retail. In its traditional business, AMS has focused on partners in nontraditional channels retailers who previously had limited presence in the photo category. For example, through our relationship with AmerisourceBergen, we enable independent drug stores and small chains to offer photo services comparable with those provided by mass-market chains such as Walgreens or CVS. Arrow Media Solutions growth rate accelerated during the last two years following its relationship with AmerisourceBergen.
Traditionally, AMS has sold its kiosks directly to the retail channel at a suggested retail price of approximately $13,500 each, while also gaining revenue from the sale of supplies and other products. Under this model, profits from the sale of retail kiosk units are retained by the retail owner. In February 2009, to reduce costs and to permit the AMS sales team to assist in sales and marketing of our Internet initiatives, we contracted out sales and support of our kiosk operation to a third party, who purchases inventory from us and in turn resells it to kiosk customers. By doing so, we have reduced our obligations and costs related to supporting kiosks in the field while permitting us to utilize limited personnel resources to market our Internet services.
Our ability to continue to execute on our plan of operations is contingent on our ability to raise additional capital to launch our Internet initiatives and expand marketing for our existing operations. We have raised 2.56 million dollars in the form of convertible notes and a rights offering during the last fifteen months and have used $2.53 million of the $2.56 million we raised. The approximate $30,000 that remains is not sufficient capital to last beyond August 2009. We are currently in negotiations for raising funds, however there can be no assurance that such negotiations will be successful or that the terms of such financing will will be acceptable to us. It is also our intent to raise additional capital through the sale of securities from other sources; however there can be no assurance that such financing will be available.
OPERATING MODEL AND REPORTING STRUCTURE
PROPELL CORPORATION
For the purposes of this MD&A, we shall report on Propell for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 which include AMS, Propell for the entire three and six months and CMI for the period of April 9 through June 30, 2009, but do not include the revenue or expenses of AUL and for the period ended June 30, 2008 do not include CMI prior to April 10, 2008 (the date of the CMI merger) or AMS prior to May 6, 2008 (the date of the AMS merger). For a comparative analysis, we shall also provide pro forma financial statements for Propell for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 which shall include CMI and AMS for the periods ended and Propell from inception beginning January 29, 2008, but do not include the revenue or expenses of AUL. Management believes that the pro forma financials are relevant, material, and necessary for present and prospective investors to properly evaluate an investment in Propell. In addition, even though pro forma combined financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and for the year ending December 31, 2007 are not presented, we will include in our discussion some comparative information, including charts that will show condensed comparative pro forma combined information. We believe this comparative history is also relevant for present and prospective investors. For accounting purposes, through April 8, 2009 our interest in Crystal Magic, Inc. was classified as an investment in our balance sheet under the cost method of accounting. Crystal Magics financial statements were not consolidated with ours for accounting purposes through April 8, 2009 because Mr. Rhodes could exert substantial influence over our board of directors due to our lack of independent directors and Mr. Rhodes had an option to acquire shares of Crystal Magic that if exercised could have resulted in him, and not us, being deemed to have control over Crystal Magic. At the time of the merger, Crystal Magic had a stockholders deficit and thus we determined the carrying value of this investment in our financial statements to be zero. Mr. Rhodes entered into an agreement with us on April 8, 2009 which, among other things, terminated the option. Additionally, Mr. Rhodes no longer serves on our board of directors. We accounted for our investment in Auleron 2005, LLC as an asset purchase. The operations of Auleron 2005, LLC have been temporarily discontinued. We determined the net fair market value of the assets and liabilities of Auleron 2005, LLC to be immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management believes that the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed below involve the most complex management judgments due to the sensitivity of the methods and assumptions necessary in determining the related asset, liability, revenue and expense amounts. Specific risks associated with these critical accounting policies are discussed throughout this MD&A, where such policies have a material effect on reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion of the application of these and other accounting policies, refer to the individual Notes to the Financial Statements for the period ended June 30, 2009.
29
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when products are shipped or services are delivered to customers, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Net revenues include product sales net of returns and allowances.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Estimates are based on historical experience, management expectations for future performance, and other assumptions as appropriate. Key areas affected by
estimates include the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets, which is based on such factors as estimated future cash flows. We re-evaluate estimates on an ongoing basis; therefore, actual results may vary from those estimates.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the fair values of these instruments due to their short-term nature. The carrying amount for borrowings under the financing agreement approximates fair value because of the variable market interest rates charged for these borrowings. We adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for financial assets and financial liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, which did not have an impact on our financial statements.
In accordance with FASB Staff Position (FSP FAS) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 , we deferred application of SFAS No. 157 until January 1, 2009, the beginning of our fiscal year, in relation to nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities including goodwill impairment testing, asset retirement obligations, long-lived asset impairments and exit and disposal activities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We place our cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC insurance limit. We extend credit based on an evaluation of the customers financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customers financial condition. We monitor our exposure for credit losses and maintain allowances for anticipated losses, as required.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
For a discussion of the adoption and potential impacts of recently issued accounting standards, refer to the Recently Issued Accounting Standards section of Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Financial Statements.
Consolidated Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 & 2008 (Unaudited)
Propell incorporated on January 29, 2008. On April 10, 2008 we acquired Crystal Magic, Inc. (CMI) and beginning April 9, 2009 we acquired control of CMI for accounting purposes. On May 6, 2008, we acquired Mountain Capital, LLC (d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions) (AMS). Therefore our result of operations includes selected income statement data for our wholly owned subsidiaries AMS from May 6, 2008 through June 30, 2009 and CMI from April 9, 2009 through June 30, 2009.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, substantially all of our revenue (96% or $296,556) was derived from the CMI operation which included the period of April 9 through June 30, 2009 for accounting purposes. AMS accounted for 3% of $9,212 and Propell accounted for 1% or $2,757 of our total revenue. All of the AMS revenue is derived from recognizing deferred warranty revenue and 100% of Propells revenue is derived from our Propellstores initiative. Cost of goods sold for such period totaled $37,930 for CMI, $6,193 AMSs warranty recognition costs & Propell accounted for the remaining $4,366 which included costs associated with beta testing our Propellstores initiative. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $600,394 of which $313,887 related to CMI (a substantial portion of which were salaries and rent), $96,736 related to AMS and the remaining $189,771 related directly to Propell. The quarter end operating expenses consisted of depreciation $11,022, compensation $330,230, health insurance $18,675, marketing $10,115, professional fees $35,175, rents $119,667, subcontract $16,637, travel $1,830 and general office $57,043. Rent expense included $103,170 related to CMI a majority of which is related to its theme park operations. Quarter over quarter comparable operating expenses for Propell decreased by 15% primarily attributable a decrease in marketing expenses. Quarter over quarter comparable operating expenses for AMS decreased by 40% primarily attributable to a reduction in compensation and personnel related expenses associated with contracting out sales and support of our kiosk operation to a third party to permit our remaining AMS sales team to assist in sales and marketing of our Propellstores sales initiatives. For accounting purposes, CMIs operations are only reflected in our consolidated results from April 9 through June 30, 2009 and therefore actual comparables are not available.
For the three months ended June 30, 2008 we generated all of our revenue from our AMS operation $102,380 which reflects the period of May 6 June 30, 2008 as a result of our acquisition date. Our AMS subsidiary was not acquired until May 5, 2008 & the inception date of Propell was January 29, 2008 for the primary purpose of creating a public entity to merge or acquire entities such as our wholly owned subsidiaries, CMI, AMS, and AUL. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008, which related solely to the operations of AMS and Propell, totaled $389,665 of which $227,548 related directly to Propell for salaries, filing fees and professional fees associated with going public. The remaining $162,117 of operating expenses are attributable AMSs kiosk operations $114,972 attributable to compensation, $6,075 for health insurance, $3,154 for marketing, $2,693 for professional fees, $5,745 for rent, $11,643 for travel, $1,117 for depreciation and $16,718 for general office expense.
Consolidated Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 & 2008 (Unaudited)
Propell incorporated on January 29, 2008. On April 10, 2008 we acquired Crystal Magic, Inc. (CMI) and beginning April 9, 2009 we acquired control of CMI for accounting purposes. On May 6, 2008, we acquired Mountain Capital, LLC (d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions) (AMS). Therefore our result of operations includes selected income statement data for our wholly owned subsidiaries AMS and CMI.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, a substantial portion of our revenue (81% or $296,556) was derived from the CMI operation which included the period of April 9 through June 30, 2009 for accounting purposes. AMS accounted for 18% of $64,553 and Propell accounted for 1% or $3,340 of our total revenue. Our AMS revenue is derived from the sale of kiosks and recognizing deferred warranty revenue and 100% of Propells revenue is derived from our Propellstores initiative. Cost of goods sold for such period totaled $37,930 for CMI, $69,606 for AMS & Propell accounted for the remaining $5,197 which included costs associated with beta testing our Propellstores initiative. AMS entered into an arrangement with our distributor in which we agreed to sell up to $40,000 of our inventory at a 95% discount of our carrying cost during the first calendar quarter of 2009 and up to $15,000 per quarter in subsequent quarters so long as we have the available inventory, which resulted in negative gross margin for AMS. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $859,491of which $313,887 related to CMI, $212,471 related to AMS and the remaining $333,133 related directly to Propell. The quarter end operating expenses consisted of depreciation $12,599, compensation $485,027, health insurance $35,382, marketing $15,717, professional fees $59,722, rents $135,711, subcontract $15,637, travel $7,289 and general office $92,407. Rent expense included $103,170 related to CMI a majority of which is related to its theme park operations. Quarter over quarter comparable operating expenses for Propell decreased by 3% primarily attributable to a $33,807 decrease in professional fees upon attaining effective status of our registration statement on Form S-1 from the Securities and Exchange Commission in December 2008. For accounting purposes, AMSs operations are only reflected in our consolidated results from May 6 through June 30, 2008 and therefore comparables are not reflective of actual results. Comparable results for AMS can be reviewed in our provided pro forma financial statements. For accounting purposes, CMIs operations are only reflected in our consolidated results from April 9 through June 30, 2009 and therefore comparables are not reflective of actual results.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008 we generated all of our revenue from our AMS operation $102,380 which reflects the period of May 6 through June 30, 2008 as a result of our acquisition date. Our AMS subsidiary was not acquired until May 5, 2008 & the inception date of Propell was January 29, 2008 for the primary purpose of creating a public entity to merge or acquire entities such as our wholly owned subsidiaries, CMI, AMS, and AUL. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $509,425 of which $347,307 related directly to Propell for salaries, filing fees and professional fees associated with going public. The remaining $162,117 of operating expenses are attributable AMSs kiosk operations $114,972 attributable to compensation, $6,075 for health insurance, $3,154 for marketing, $2,693 for professional fees, $5,745 for rent, $11,643 for travel, $1,117 for depreciation and $16,719 for general office expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, our primary sources of cash have been funds raised from the sale of our securities and revenue derived from our CMI and AMS operations. We have recently shifted our AMS focus away from the sale of kiosks to the sale of what we believe to be a more economic product, our PropellStores. In addition, in order to have the staff needed to successfully engage in our PropellStores internet business we recently began using a third party to sell our kiosk products and to service our kiosk customers. Both of these changes have resulted in decreased revenue from our kiosk business. Although we anticipate that our internet business will eventually replace our kiosk business it is difficult for us to assess what the impact of this shift will be on our overall revenue.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 - Cash Flow Activity
Propells primary sources and uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2009, included losses from continuing operations, adjusted for non-cash items of income and expense and working capital needs and an influx of $828,078 in cash from a rights offering which converted into 3,066,956 common shares of the Companys stock. Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $525,771 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Propells primary sources and uses of cash from operating activities for the period were losses from operations, as adjusted for non-cash items of income and expense which included:
·
A slight decrease in accounts receivables and prepaid expenses.
·
A decrease in inventory related to our decision to sell inventory to our contracted third party kiosk sales & support company and lower replenishment levels of CMIs inventory to maximize cash flow.
·
A decrease in accounts payable as less expenses were incurred that were related to our public offering once the registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective, paying off a balance of $23,278 to one of AMSs kiosk supply vendors in order for our third party contractor to continue servicing our kiosk customers.
·
A decrease in deferred revenue relating to extended service contracts for Kiosk units sold by AMS.
·
An increase in accrued expenses resulting from payroll expense accruals.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was $104,336 primarily attributable to PropellStores web development costs.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $695,338 which included $828,078 of proceeds from our rights offering in which common stock and warrants were issued to investors, the issuance of common stock for services in the amount of $26,400 and was offset by intercompany loans provided to CMI in the amount of $122,542, intercompany loans provided to AUL in the amount of $7,778 to fund its operations and the elimination of debt repayment to Loco Lobo, LLC. The intercompany loans are not evidenced by a note, are not secured by collateral and do not bear interest. The loans were used by Crystal Magic for working capital purposes. Management believes that Crystal may eventually be able to repay these loans.
Our ability to continue to execute on our plan of operations is contingent on our ability to raise additional capital to launch our Internet initiatives and expand marketing for our existing operations. We have raised 2.56 million dollars in the form of convertible notes and a rights offering during the last fifteen months and have used $2.53 million of the $2.56 million we raised. The approximate $30,000 that remains is not sufficient capital to last beyond August 2009. We are currently in negotiations for raising funds, however there can be no assurance that such negotiations will be successful or that the terms of such financing will will be acceptable to us. It is also our intent to raise additional capital through the sale of securities from other sources; however there can be no assurance that such financing will be available

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
We are subject to the risk that our liquidity will be impacted by our obligation to fund our expenses and certain loans owed by Crystal Magic. In April 2009, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Rhodes whereby we agreed to reimburse Crystal Magic for the interest payments on certain debt of Crystal Magic under loans issued by the Orlando National Bank under the approval of the US Small Business Administration (the SBA) and the monthly payments owed by Crystal Magic so long as the monthly payments remain at $2193 until certain shares of Mr. Rhodes are released from escrow. We also agreed to assume the payment for these loans in the event of the bankruptcy of Crystal Magic and the demand of the SBA or the Orlando National Bank of payment under Mr. Rhodes guarantee. Mr. Rhodes has placed 2,000,000 shares of our stock owned by him in escrow to be used by us in our discretion at any time after one year to pay the amounts owed by Crystal Magic under these loans. The indemnification agreement that we had previously entered into with Mr. Rhodes and his wife with respect to payment of the loans if a demand was made against either of them under the guarantee has been terminated. The Orlando National Bank is currently permitting several of the SBA loans to be serviced on an interest-only basis.
The impact that contractual obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flow in future periods is as follows:

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, a substantial portion of our revenue was derived from the operations of CMI. We had total revenues of $695,291, including $627,398 from our CMI subsidiary, $64,553 from AMS and Propellstores provided $3,340. Quarter over quarter revenues decreased by $1,157,988 or 62%. CMIs revenue decreased by $825,457 or 57% attributable to the closing of its three Disneyland retail locations in early January 2009 which accounted for $301,008 of revenue for the comparable period last year, coupled with losing one of its key locations at Disneyworlds Epcot center combined with weaker theme park sales which accounted for $210,919 of revenue for the comparable period last year, weaker theme park sales at Universal Studios of $66,800 of revenue for the comparable period last year and $246,731 of revenue for the comparable period last year attributable to weaker sales in its promotional products and reseller customer base. CMI continues to see weaker comparative sales trends on a store by store basis at its theme park locations. AMSs revenue decreased by $335,871 or 84% attributable to contracting out sales and support of our kiosk operation to a third party to permit our AMS sales team to assist in sales and marketing of our PropellStores sales initiatives. Propell revenue increased by $3,340 as a result of the launch of PropellStores.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cost of goods sold totaled $150,721 including $75,918 from our CMI operation, $69,606 from AMS and PropellStores incurred $5,197. AMS entered into an arrangement with our distributor in which we agreed to sell up to $40,000 of our inventory at a 95% discount of our carrying cost during the first calendar quarter of 2009 and up to $15,000 per quarter in subsequent quarters so long as we have the available inventory, therefore accounting for its negative gross margin. Quarter over quarter cost of goods sold decreased by $340,353 or 69% attributable to the sales decline by CMI and AMS.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, operating expenses totaled $1,343,592 of which $795,423 related to CMI, $212,471 related to AMS and the remaining $335,698 related directly to Propell. The quarter end operating expenses consisted of depreciation $23,809, compensation $700,310, health insurance $43,170, marketing $36,485, professional fees $64,679, rents $260,232, subcontract $15,637, travel $12,543 and general office $186,727. Rent expense included $227,691 related to CMI a majority of which is related to its theme park operations. Quarter over quarter comparable operating expenses decreased by 42% or $962,293 related to decreases of $674,953 by CMI, $275,730 by AMS and $11,610 by Propell. Compensation expense for CMI &AMS decreased by $254,326 and $151,321 respectively offset by an increase of $89,142 for Propell. CMIs rent decrease by $253,092 primarily attributable to the variable calculation of its theme park rent. Marketing expenses decreased by $126,550 attributable to the termination of Propells marketing firm combined with reductions in trade show attendance and AMSs contracting of its kiosk sales to a third party.
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had total revenues of $1,853,279, including $1,452,856 from our CMI subsidiary and $400,423 from our AMS subsidiary.

Revenues from theme parks which is derived from CMIs company-owned stores decreased by $836,329 or 30%, attributable to declines of $117,849 at its Disneyland operations, $625,744 at its Disneyworld operations, and $92,736 at its Universal Studios operations. In January 2008, Walt Disney World closed CMIs premier revenue generating store, The Imagination Institute at Epcot Center, for renovations, consequently CMI was without revenue from this store for a period of 28 days. Additionally, the renovation changed the configuration within the store which has had a negative impact on sales. Management believes that the overall sales decline is due to reduced discretionary spending by park visitors.
·
Promotional products/reseller sales decreased $352,348 or 32% primarily due to the loss of a large order that had been placed in prior years. For the prior three years, CMI through one of its distributors has provided the Ford Motor Corporation truck division with its quarterly incentive awards. Ford did not proceed with this program in 2008.

The closing of Photo TLC also impacted year-over-year photo gifting revenues. In March 2007, PhotoTLC (CMIs primary photo gifting aggregators which sold our products in CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and other major pharmacies) closed its doors without notice. As a result CMI saw a year over year revenue loss of $196,021 in sales. One of CMIs other resellers lost their relationship with Wal-Mart which accounted for a loss of comparative revenue of $76,790.
For the years ended December 31, 2008, cost of goods sold totaled $1,410,723 including $451,490 from our CMI operation, $957,424 from AMS and Propellstores incurred $1,809. On a year over year basis, cost of goods sold remained consistent as a percentage of sales.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, operating expenses totaled $4,661,777 of which $2,871,995 related to CMI, $1,069,006 related to AMS and the remaining $720,776 related directly to Propell. The yearend operating expenses consisted of depreciation $49,267, compensation $2,372,676, health insurance $94,856, marketing $177,344, professional fees $291,743, rents $970,057, subcontract $40,801, travel $85,610 and general office $579,423. Rent expense included $891,550 related to CMI a majority of which is related to its theme park operations. Year over year comparable operating expenses increased by 5% or $224,926 related to decreases of $751,677 by CMI, offset by increases of $255,827 for AMS and $720,776 for Propell. Compensation expense for CMI decreased by $355,243 offset by increases of $302,256 and $191,659 for Propell and AMS respectively. CMIs rent decreased by $361,714 primarily attributable to the variable calculation of its theme park rent.

For accounting purposes, our interest in Crystal Magic, Inc. has been classified as an investment in our balance sheet and is accounted for under the cost method of accounting through April 8, 2009, the date that we obtained control of Crystal Magic, Inc.. At the time of the merger, Crystal Magic had a stockholders deficit and thus we determined the carrying value of this investment in our financial statements to be zero. Up until April 8, 2009 Crystal Magics financial statements were not consolidated with ours for accounting purposes based on the fact that Mr. Rhodes could exert substantial influence over our board of directors due to our lack of independent directors and Mr. Rhodes had an option to acquire shares of Crystal Magic that if exercised could have resulted in him, and not us, being deemed to have control over Crystal Magic. On April 8, 2009 Mr. Rhodes entered into an agreement with us which, among other things, terminated the option. In addition, Mr. Rhodes no longer serves on our board of directors. Crystal Magic engaged in the initial merger with Propell for the purpose of consolidating revenue, expenses and resources.
Presented below are historical financial statements for Crystal Magic, Inc. prior to our ability to consolidate CMIs financial results into Propell.

Auleron 2005, LLC (d/b/a Auleron Technologies) (AUL)
Overview
Auleron 2005, LLC (AUL) was formed as a New York LLC on March 17, 2005. Originally headquartered in Lake Placid, AUL was originally a service provider to third parties, helping retail, financial and technology organizations install new hardware and software in various locations. In the merger into a subsidiary of Propell, the AUL infrastructure has been maintained to serve the internal needs of AMS, making available an on-call network of over 3,500 technicians (non-employee consultants) to service our clients, giving us the ability to compete with large providers of photo kiosks. Management believes that the ability to manage this network is a highly effective tool in reassuring large customers that we can provide sufficient field support. In the last quarter of 2007, management decided to temporarily shut down operations of AUL. Consequently as of March 31, 2008, all operations have ceased. Since AUL and AMS had the same ownership structure prior to the mergers, we did not separately negotiate the purchase price of each company. However, based upon the net asset value of each company (AMS was approximately 94% of the net asset value acquired and AUL approximately 6% of the net asset value acquired) the purchase price was allocated such that the former owners of AUL and AMS received 6% and 94% of the aggregate shares issued in connection with the two mergers.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Propell Corporation has 21,740,908 shares of common stock, $.001 par value, issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2009. The total number of shares of stock which Propell Corporation shall have authority to issue is seventy five million (75,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share and ten million (10,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share.
In April 2008, Propell announced the successful merger of Crystal Magic, Inc. based in Orlando, Florida in exchange for 5,400,000 restricted shares of common stock valued at $5,400. In May 2008, we announced the successful acquisition of Mountain Capital, LLC and Auleron 2005, LLC based in New York in exchange for 2,094,864 and 136,088 restricted shares of common stock, respectively valued at $2,231.
In May 2008, convertible notes payable totaling $22,780 were converted into 2,278,000 shares of common stock, per the terms of the convertible notes. The shares were subsequently registered in our registration statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2008.
In March 2009, we issued 8,650,000 shares of our common stock in connection with the conversion of convertible notes in the principal amount of $1,730,000 upon consummation of our PIPE offering. The issuance of the securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) since the issuance by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a public offering as defined in Section 4(2) because the offer and sale was made to an insubstantial number of persons and because of the manner of the offering. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to, and received, securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted. This restriction ensured that these securities will not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore be part of a public offering. This offering was done with no general solicitation or advertising by us. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act for this transaction. 2,810,000 shares were subsequently registered in our registration statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2008.
In March 2009, we issued to 36 individuals 1,585,475 shares of our common stock and warrants exercisable into 2,378,216 shares of common stock at a price of $.27 per share.

The offering was not a public offering as defined in Section 4(2) because the offer and sale was made to an insubstantial number of persons and because of the manner of the offering. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to, and received, securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted. This restriction ensured that these securities will not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore be part of a public offering. This offering was done with no general solicitation or advertising by us. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act for this transaction.
In connection with the cancellation of the Amended Note with Lanai Investments, LLC, an entity controlled by Steven Rhodes, the Company issued Steven Rhodes warrants exercisable for 100,000 shares of the Companys common stock upon the same terms as the warrants issued to investors in the beginning of 2009 in the Companys PIPE transaction. The offering and sale of the securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act since the issuance by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a public offering as defined in Section 4(2) because the offer and sale was made to only one person and because of the manner of the offering. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since he agreed to, and received, securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted. This restriction ensured that these securities will not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore be part of a public offering. This offering was done with no general solicitation or advertising by us. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Act for this transaction.
In March 2009, we issued 60,000 shares of our common stock to The Guild for services rendered. The issuance of the securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) since the issuance by us did not involve a public offering.
