SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 8, 2008

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed.

This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and we are not soliciting offers to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.


PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS


PROPELL CORPORATION

5,088,000 shares of common stock

This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 5,088,000 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, by certain of our stockholders. These persons, together with their transferees, are referred to throughout this prospectus as “selling stockholders.”

We issued certain of the shares described above in private placement transactions completed prior to the filing of this registration statement and may issue other shares described above upon the conversion of promissory notes as further described herein.

We are not selling any shares of our common stock in this offering and therefore will not receive any proceeds from this offering. Instead, the shares may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders and/or their registered representatives at a fixed price of $.50 until our shares are quoted, if ever, on the OTC Bulletin Board or another exchange or electronic medium and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The fixed offering price of $.50 in this prospectus was arrived at by the anticipated conversion price of our most recently issued convertible promissory notes and  the overall valuation of our company As a result of such activities, the selling stockholders may be deemed underwriters as that term is defined in the federal securities laws.

Our common stock does not presently trade on any exchange or electronic medium.  We intend to apply to have our common stock listed on the OTC Bulletin Board once this prospectus is declared effective.  However, no assurance can be given that our common stock will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other exchange or electronic medium.

You should consider carefully the risk factors beginning on page six of this prospectus.

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved of these securities or determined that this prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.













The date of this prospectus is _____, 2008

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It is not complete and may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand this offering fully, you should read the entire prospectus carefully. Investors should carefully consider the information set forth under the heading “Risk Factors.” In this prospectus, the terms “Propell Corporation” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Propell Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries Crystal Magic, Inc. (“CMI” or “Crystal Magic”), Mountain Capital, LLC (“AMS” or “Arrow Media Solutions”) and Auleron 2005, LLC (“AUL” or “Auleron Technologies”).


Our Company


We are a recently organized Delaware corporation that is an integrated provider of image-based products and services for the digital photo and promotional products industries, delivered through multiple channels, including e-commerce websites, our own proprietary photo kiosks and independent and company owned retail stores.


In April 2008, Crystal Magic merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, with Crystal Magic surviving the merger and becoming our subsidiary. The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and Crystal Magic was deemed to be the acquirer. In May 2008, each of Mountain Capital, LLC (d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions) and Auleron 2005, LLC (d/b/a Auleron Technologies) merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. The result of the mergers was that each of Mountain Capital, LLC and Auleron 2005, LLC survived the merger and became wholly owned subsidiaries of ours. The three companies have been engaged in complementary parts of the personalized image-based product and digital photo industry.


All of our current operations are conducted through our two wholly owned subsidiaries, Crystal Magic, Inc., and Arrow Media Solutions, each of which is responsible for one of our two lines of business. Our third subsidiary, Auleron 2005, LLC, temporarily discontinued its operations in 2008; however, management retains relationships with Auleron 2005, LLC’s on-call network of 3,500 independent contractors to service our installations.  Prior to our formation in January 2008, each subsidiary was independently owned.

 

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.

 

Crystal Magic’s core business began nearly a decade ago by using proprietary laser technology to create three-dimensional laser images engraved inside solid crystal, sold in company-owned stores within Disney and Universal theme parks, and later expanded to a wide range of image-based merchandise offered in mass market retail. The company’s founder has a long-standing relationship with Disney and  Universal Studios.  


Today, the Crystal Magic division’s products are sold at Disney World, Disneyland and Universal theme parks, as well as on a wholesale basis to retailers, to small and large corporate clients, and through our proprietary online system that allows partners to create “Web Stores on Demand.”


We believe Web Stores on Demand opens up new opportunities and channels for us by providing partner e-commerce web sites with the opportunity to easily integrate a photo merchandise online store into their sites with little effort or cost, and is a key part of our strategy for 2008 and beyond.


Since 2001 Crystal Magic has been 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. We see opportunities to leverage our Web Stores on Demand capabilities to expand our efforts in the promotional products category.

 

The Arrow Media Solutions division of Propell provides digital photo kiosk solutions for retailers. In its traditional business, Arrow Media Solutions has focused on partners in “nontraditional” channels – retailers who previously had limited presence in the photo category. For example, through our relationship with AmerisourceBergen, a large U.S. healthcare company, 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.  We believe that Arrow Media Solutions’ kiosks help retailers fulfill an important goal – driving store visits and customer repeat business.



3




Arrow Media Solutions’ revenues increased over the last two years after securing a relationship with AmerisourceBergen.


Our Auleron Technologies division was founded nearly seven years ago by the same management team that later created Arrow Media Solutions. Originally, Auleron Technologies was a service provider to third parties, helping major retail, financial and technology organizations install new hardware and software in various locations. In 2008, Auleron Technologies temporarily discontinued its operations and no longer services third parties or generates any revenue. However, the Auleron Technologies infrastructure has been maintained to serve our internal needs, making available an on-call network of over 3,500 independent contractors that perform technical services for our installations. We believe that this network of technology gives us the ability to compete with large providers of photo kiosks, since we can respond quickly to service needs throughout the U.S.


The three companies generated approximately $5.8 million in combined revenues in 2007, including $500,000 generated by Auleron Technologies’ now temporarily discontinued operations of installing third party hardware and software, with combined gross profits for 2007 of $3.8 million and gross margin percentage for 2007 of 65%. Crystal Magic generated $4,129,130 in revenues in 2007, with gross profits for 2007 of $3,367,698 and gross margin percentage for 2007 of 82%. Arrow Media Solutions generated $1,403,305 in revenues in 2007, with gross profits for 2007 of $465,702 and gross margin percentage for 2007 of 33%. Auleron Technologies generated $502,596 in revenues in 2007, with gross profits for 2007 of $188,083 and gross margin percentage for 2007 of 37%. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the combined companies on a pro forma basis generated $1,867,124 in revenues, including $15,056 generated by Auleron Technologies’ now temporarily discontinued operations, with combined gross profits of $1,360,433 and gross margin percentage of 73%. Crystal Magic, Arrow Media Solutions and Auleron generated $1,452,919, $399,149 and $15,056, respectively, in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Risk factors

 

There are significant risks involved in investing in our company. For a discussion of risk factors you should consider before buying our common stock, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6.



5




RISK FACTORS


An investment in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Therefore, in evaluating us and our business you should carefully consider the risks set forth below, which are only a few of the risks associated with investing in our common stock. You should be in a position to risk the loss of your entire investment.


We may not be able to retain existing customers or acquire new customers.

 

Future revenues and profitability depend in large part on our ability to retain our current relationships with our customers, including the Walt Disney Co., AmerisourceBergen and several e-commerce websites.  Our relationships with these customers depend on our satisfactorily performing our contracted services. Additionally, although Crystal Magic, Inc. has a written agreement with Disneyland Resort, a division of Walt Disney World Co., this agreement may be terminated upon 30 days written notice, and the agreement requires Steven M. Rhodes, our Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, to retain control of Crystal Magic, Inc. If we do not successfully retain our current customers, or market successfully against competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.


Dependence on a limited number of clients.


A significant portion of our kiosk and theme park businesses depend on a limited number of partners. Specifically, our kiosk business depends largely on our relationship with AmerisourceBergen, and our theme park business depends largely on our contracts with the Walt Disney Co. and Universal Studios. Our business with AmerisourceBergen accounted for $1.1 million, or approximately 19% of our consolidated revenues, in 2007. Our business with the Walt Disney Co. accounted for $2,497,786, or approximately 43% of our consolidated revenues, in 2007, and our business with Universal Studios accounted for $283,071, or approximately 5% of our consolidated revenues, in 2007. Our agreements with the Walt Disney Co. are subject to renewal, with the next renewal date in October 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, AmerisourceBergen accounted for $347,000, or approximately 22% of our consolidated revenues, Disney accounted for $927,000 or approximately 60% of our consolidated revenues, and Universal Studios accounted for $112,000 or approximately 7% of our consolidated revenues. While we expect to renew our agreements with the Walt Disney Co. and while our agreements with the other entities do not expire for at least one year from the date hereof, we can provide no assurance that the agreements with any of these entities will be renewed. The non-renewal of any of these relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.


We may not be able to continue as a going concern.


During the year ended December 31, 2007 we had $3,817,636 in gross profit but incurred $4,490,720 of operating expenses and at December 31, 2007 had an accumulated deficit of $1,192,679 with a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2007 of $670,124. During the year ended December 31, 2006 we had $4,254,762 in gross profit but incurred $5,158,002 in operating expenses, and at December 31, 2006 we had an accumulated deficit of $889,883 with a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2006 of $826,950. On a pro forma basis for the six months ended June 30, 2008, our sales were approximately $1.9 million, including approximately $1.5 million from Crystal Magic, Inc. and approximately $400,000 from Arrow Media Solutions. Auleron Technologies provided only $15,000 in revenues, as it was temporarily closed down during the period.  On a pro forma basis, our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $1.4 million. However, we incurred $2.4 million of operating expenses for a net loss of approximately $1 million. At June 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,900,000. The opinion of our independent registered accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007 for CMI, AMS, and AUL was qualified subject to substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. See “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” and the notes to our Financial Statements.



6




Our future plans and operations are dependent on our raising additional capital.


To date, we have not generated enough revenue from operations to pay all of our expenses. In fact, we have used money raised in prior financings to pay some of our costs. We have used $1.25 million of the $1.75 million we raised over the last six months in the form of convertible notes. We do not believe that our existing resources will be sufficient to allow us to implement our anticipated plan of operations or meet our future anticipated cash flow requirements. We believe that we can generate additional revenue through our Web Stores on Demand e-commerce initiative; and at our theme park stores by updating our displays, refreshing product offerings and training additional staff. In addition, we intend to increase our sales of promotional products by broadening our customer base for our promotional products, which will require us to incur additional marketing and advertising expenses. However, we will be required to raise additional capital to support each of these revenue generating measures.


We rely on key vendors, suppliers and foreign sourcing.


Our ability to sustain satisfactory levels of sales is dependent in part upon the ability of our suppliers and vendors to properly perform their function. We have no significant long-term purchase contracts or agreements to ensure continued supply, pricing or access to raw materials and equipment used in our business. While we believe that alternate sources of third-party providers are available, it is possible that our vendors might not be able to continue to meet our requirements for services or supplies, or purchase services or supplies in sufficient quantities or on terms as favorable to us as those currently available. The failure of our suppliers to supply our raw materials on a timely basis or at satisfactory prices could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, changing to an alternate vendor or supplier may cause delays, reduced quality or other problems.


We may be adversely affected by actions of competitors.


The market for personalized products, photo kiosks and other digital imaging services is highly competitive and still emerging. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and other resources than we have. We face competition in personalized products, photo kiosks and other digital imaging services from other direct marketers, online companies, and competitors in other distribution channels, including much larger companies. Many of our competitors offer similar products and services. Our ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to differentiate our services by offering innovative services and products and exemplary customer service. Although we believe we are a leader in developing and marketing innovative personalized photo-related services, photo kiosks and other products, competitors can and do provide similar services and products. There can be no assurance we will continue to compete effectively through development of innovative services and products or the provision of exemplary customer service and experience or that we will respond appropriately to industry trends or to activities of competitors.


We experience fluctuations in quarterly results.


Our quarterly operating results will fluctuate for many reasons, including:


·    Seasonality of consumer photographic activity,

·    Seasonality of the theme parks in which we sell products,

·    Changes in attendance or consumer spending at these theme parks,

·    The mix of products we sell,

·    Promotional activities we conduct,

·    Price increases by our suppliers,

·    Our introduction of new products,

·    Our research and development activities,

·    Our competitors’ actions,

·    Fluctuations in the direct-to-consumer market,

·    Changes in usage of digital services and online commerce,

·    Changes in the photofinishing industry,

·    Changes in the promotional products industry,

·    General economic influences and conditions.

7




As a result of the above conditions, our operating results for any period do not necessarily indicate the results that can be expected for any future period. Our operating results in a future period may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors which may cause the price of our common stock to decline.


We have no independent audit committee. Our full board of directors functions as our audit committee and is composed of two directors who are not considered independent. This may hinder our board of directors’ effectiveness in fulfilling the functions of the audit committee.


Currently, we have no independent audit committee. Our full Board of Directors functions as our audit committee and is comprised of directors who are not considered to be "independent" in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. An independent audit committee plays a crucial role in the corporate governance process, assessing the Company's processes relating to its risks and control environment, overseeing financial reporting, and evaluating internal and independent audit processes. The lack of an independent audit committee may prevent the board of directors from being independent from management in its judgments and decisions and its ability to pursue the committee's responsibilities without undue influence. We may have difficulty attracting and retaining directors with the requisite qualifications. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified, independent directors, the management of our business could be compromised.


Our board of directors, which consists of two directors, acts as our compensation committee, which presents the risk that compensation and benefits paid to these executive officers who are board members and other officers may not be commensurate with our financial performance.


A compensation committee consisting of independent directors is a safeguard against self-dealing by company executives. Our board of directors acts as the compensation committee and determines the compensation and benefits of our executive officers, administers our employee stock and benefit plans, and reviews policies relating to the compensation and benefits of our employees. Although all board members have fiduciary obligations in connection with compensation matters, our lack of an independent compensation committee presents the risk that our executive officers on the board may set their personal compensation and benefits at levels that are not commensurate with our financial performance.


Governmental regulation could limit our business opportunities and increase costs.


Our operations, including our transmission of digital images over the Internet, are subject to regulation by the U.S. Postal Service, the Federal Trade Commission and various states, local, and private consumer protection and other regulatory authorities. In general, these regulations govern privacy, the manner in which orders may be solicited, the form and content of advertisements, information which must be provided to prospective customers, the time within which orders must be filled, obligations to customers if orders are not shipped within a specified period of time, and the time within which refunds must be paid if the ordered merchandise is unavailable or returned. Congress has enacted legislation to specifically regulate online commerce and communications and has addressed such issues as the transmission of certain materials to children, intellectual property protection, and taxation. We believe that we are in compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, however, should such statutes and regulations be amended or interpreted more stringently, we may be unable to remain in compliance and may incur penalties and fines for noncompliance. Other legislation could result in additional regulation or prohibition of the transmission of certain types of content over the Internet. If such legislation were deemed to apply to our business, it could limit the type of business that we could pursue or increase the costs to ensure compliance.


There is no assurance that our common stock will be cleared to trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.


We expect that a market maker will file a Form 211 with the National Association of Securities Dealers (the “NASD”) to have our Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, we cannot assure you that our common stock will ever be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other exchange or electronic medium.


Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be sporadic because it is not a stock exchange, and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their shares.



8




We expect that our common stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with the our operations or business prospects. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like AMEX Accordingly, you may have difficulty reselling any of the shares you purchase from the selling stockholders.


Some of our existing stockholders can exert control over us and may not make decisions that are in the best interests of all stockholders.


As of September 29, 2008, officers, directors, and stockholders holding more than 5% of our outstanding shares collectively controlled approximately 92% of our outstanding common stock, without taking into account shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of any convertible securities. As a result, these stockholders, if they act together, would be able to exert a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership may harm the market price of our shares by delaying or preventing a change in control of us, even if a change is in the best interests of our other stockholders. In addition, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with the interests of other stockholders, and accordingly, they could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.


We cannot guarantee that an active trading market will develop for our common stock.


There is no public market for our Common Stock and there can be no assurance that a regular trading market for our Common Stock will ever develop or that, if developed, it will be sustained.  Therefore, purchasers of our Common Stock should have a long-term investment intent and should recognize that it may be difficult to sell the shares, notwithstanding the fact that they are not restricted securities. We cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop or how liquid a market might become.


There may be future dilution of our common stock.


If we sell additional equity or convertible debt securities, those sales could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.


We have incurred operating losses in the past and may not be able to sustain profitability in the future. Recent accounting changes may make it more difficult for us to sustain profitability.


Each of our subsidiaries and their predecessors have periodically experienced operating losses. If we are unable to produce our products and provide our services at commercially reasonable costs, if revenues decline or if our expenses exceed our expectations, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Also, we expect to be a publicly traded company, and will therefore be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which will soon require that our internal controls and procedures comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We expect compliance to be costly and it could impact our results of operations in future periods. In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board now requires us to follow Statement No. 123, “Share Based Payment,” or SFAS No. 123R. Under SFAS No. 123R, companies must calculate and record in their statement of operations the cost of equity instruments, such as stock options or restricted stock, awarded to employees for services. We expect that we will use stock options to attract, incentivize and retain our employees and will therefore incur the resulting stock-based compensation expense. This will continue to adversely affect our operating results in future periods.


We have a limited operating history as a combined entity, which makes it difficult to evaluate our business and prospects for the future.


We have only a limited operating history as a combined entity on which investors can base an evaluation of our business and future prospects. We face many risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties. To address these risks and uncertainties, we must do the following:



9




 

maintain and increase our number of customers;


 

maintain and enhance our brand;


 

maintain and grow our website and customer operations;


 

continue to enhance and innovate in our kiosk offerings to remain competitive;


 

expand our penetration in the promotional products industry;


 

market and expand our theme park offerings;  


 

successfully execute our business and marketing strategy;


 

continue to develop and upgrade our technology and information processing systems;


 

continue to enhance our service to meet the needs of a changing market;


 

provide superior customer service;


 

respond to competitive developments; and

 

 

attract, integrate, retain and motivate qualified personnel.


We may be unable to accomplish one or more of these things, which could cause our business to suffer.


Interruptions to our information technology systems, availability of retail facilities, kiosk manufacturing, personalized--product production processes or customer service operations could damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our business and results of operations.


The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our information technology systems, kiosk manufacturing, personalized-product production processes and customer service operations are critical to our reputation, and our ability to attract and retain customers and maintain adequate customer satisfaction. Any interruptions that result in reduced order fulfillment performance or customer service could result in negative publicity, damage our reputation and brand and cause our business and results of operations to suffer.


For our theme park sales, we depend in part on our partners to make available and maintain certain aspects of our retail locations, such as facilities at Disney World, Disneyland and Universal Studios theme parks. Remodeling or other activities at these theme parks may result in our inability to sell products for the duration of such activities. In January 2008, Walt Disney World closed one of Crystal Magic’s stores for renovation for a period of 28 days which adversely affected our revenue for the first quarter of 2008. We may not be informed in advance or offered other locations to sell our products during such remodeling. Our business interruption insurance policies do not address all potential causes of business interruptions that we may experience, and any proceeds we may receive from these policies in the event of a business interruption may not fully compensate us for the revenues we may lose.


We may have difficulty managing our growth and expanding our operations successfully.


As a result of our merger in April 2008 and acquisitions in May 2008, we have website operations, manufacturing facilities, business offices and retail locations in Orlando, Florida, and northern and southern California. Our growth has placed, and will continue to place, a strain on our administrative and operational infrastructure. Our ability to manage our operations and growth will require us to continue to refine our operational, financial and management controls, human resource policies and reporting systems.


If we are unable to manage future expansion, we may not be able to implement improvements to our controls, policies and systems in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls. Our ability to provide high-quality products, service and customer support could be compromised, which would damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our business and results of operations.



10




Competitive pricing pressures may harm our business and results of operations.


Demand for our products and services is sensitive to price. Many external factors, including our production and personnel costs and our competitors’ pricing and marketing strategies, can significantly impact our pricing strategies. If we fail to meet our customers’ price expectations, we could lose customers, which would harm our business and results of operations.


The loss of key personnel and an inability to attract and retain additional personnel could affect our ability to successfully grow our business.


We are highly dependent upon the continued service and performance of our senior management team and key technical, marketing and production personnel, some of whom have formed critical relationships with the companies with whom we have contracts. The loss of these key employees, several of whom is “at will” and may terminate his or her employment relationship with us at any time, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.


We believe that our future success will also depend in part on our continued ability to identify, hire, train and motivate qualified personnel. We face intense competition for qualified individuals from numerous technology, marketing, financial services, manufacturing and e-commerce companies. We may be unable to attract and retain suitably qualified individuals who are capable of meeting our growing operational and managerial requirements, or we may be required to pay increased compensation in order to do so. Our failure to attract and retain qualified personnel could impair our ability to implement our business plan.


The success of our business depends on continued consumer and retailer adoption of digital photography.


Our growth is highly dependent upon the continued adoption by consumers and retailers of digital photography. The digital photography market is rapidly evolving, characterized by changing technologies, intense price competition, additional competitors, evolving industry standards, frequent new service announcements and changing consumer demands and behaviors. To the extent that consumer adoption of digital photography does not continue to grow as expected, our revenue growth would likely suffer. Moreover, we face significant risks that, if the market for digital photography evolves in ways that we are not able to address due to changing technologies or consumer behaviors, pricing pressures, or otherwise, our current products and services may become less attractive, which would likely result in the loss of customers, as well as lower net revenues and/or increased expenses.


Our net revenues and results of operations are affected by the level of vacation and other travel by our customers, particularly in our theme park operations, and any declines or disruptions in the travel industry could harm our business.


Because vacation and other travel is one of the primary occasions in which our customers visit theme parks as well as utilize their digital cameras, our net revenues and results of operations are affected by the level of vacation and other travel by our customers. Accordingly, downturns or weaknesses in the travel industry could harm our business. Travel expenditures are sensitive to business and personal discretionary spending levels and tend to decline during general economic downturns. Events or weakness that could negatively affect the travel industry and related spending include economic conditions, price escalation in the airline industry or other travel-related industries, airline or other travel related strikes, safety concerns, including terrorist activities, inclement weather and airline bankruptcies or liquidations. In addition, high gasoline prices may lead to reduced travel in the United States. Any decrease in vacation or travel could harm our net revenues and results of operations.


Maintaining and improving our financial controls and the requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.


We expect to become a public company. As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations of an exchange or the OTC-Bulletin Board. The requirements of these rules and regulations will likely continue to increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and may also place undue strain on our personnel, systems and resources.


11




The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and effective internal control over financial reporting. Significant resources and management oversight are required to design, document, test, implement and monitor internal control over relevant processes and to, remediate any deficiencies. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. These efforts also involve substantial accounting related costs.


Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance.


The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:


 

price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market;


 

changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other technology companies generally, or those in our industry in particular;


 

the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in these projections or our failure to meet these projections;


 

ratings downgrades by any securities analysts who follow our company;


 

the public’s response to our press releases or other public announcements, including our filings with the SEC;


 

announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;


 

introduction of technologies or product enhancements that reduce the need for our products;


 

market conditions or trends in our industry or the economy as a whole;


 

the loss of key personnel;


 

lawsuits threatened or filed against us;


 

future sales of our common stock by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders; and


 

other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism or responses to these events.


We may issue preferred stock with greater rights than our common stock.


Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up to 10 million shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance without further action by stockholders, and may include voting rights (including the right to vote as a series on particular matters), preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. Any preferred stock that is issued may rank ahead of our common stock, in terms of dividends, liquidation rights and voting rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.  In the event of such an issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control of our company.  Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our board of directors or management could deter potential acquirers or prevent the completion of a transaction in which our stockholders could require substantial premium over the then current market price per share. No preferred stock is currently outstanding and we have no current plans to issue any preferred stock. However, the issuance of any such preferred stock could materially adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of the common stock and deprive shareholders of the right to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices.

(i)    the transaction is approved by the corporation’s board of directors prior to the date the stockholder became an interested stockholder;


(ii)   upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder owned at least 85% of the shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding, for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding, those shares owned by (a) persons who are directors and also officers and (b) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentiality whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or


(iii)  on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of such outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following Management’s 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 the condensed financial statements for each of our subsidiaries for the years’ ended 2006 and 2007, our consolidated financial statement as of June 30, 2008 and our pro forma results of operations as of June 30, 2008, 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



14




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.”


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


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 our actual results, performance, or achievements 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.

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. Crytal 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 accordance with SFAS 141 “Business Combinations”, Propell accounted for the acquisition as a reverse merger, where CMI was the accounting acquirer. Subsequent to this event, 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 1,145,476 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the members of Mountain Capital, LLC and a total of 1,145,476 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the members of AUL.    We accounted for these acquisitions 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. The reverse merger and subsequent acquisitions 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.


CMI’s core business began nearly a decade ago by using proprietary laser technology to create three-dimensional laser images engraved inside solid crystal, sold in company-owned stores within Disney and Universal theme parks, and later expanded to a wide range of image-based merchandise offered through mass market retail. The company’s founder has a long-standing relationships with Disney, Universal Studios and other entertainment locations. Today, our CMI division’s products are sold at Disney World, Disneyland and Universal theme parks, as well as on a wholesale basis to retailers, to small and large corporate clients, and through our proprietary online system that allows partners to create “Web Stores on Demand” (also marketed as PropellStores).



15




Propell believes the Web Stores on Demand 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 will perform the fulfillment, manufacturing, shipping and billing of these product(s).  The Web Stores on Demand product is a key part of our strategy for 2008 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 Web Stores on Demand product’s capabilities to expand its efforts in the promotional products category.

 

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 Solution’s 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 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. AMS intends to move towards a shared revenue model, where AMS will bear the cost of providing the kiosk, while the retailer pays a monthly maintenance fee and receives a share of the revenue.  Although this new model requires a larger initial investment by AMS, management believes revenue from this new business model will surpass its traditional model for two reasons: (a) retailers are more likely to place the kiosks at their locations, as the barrier to entry (the initial cost) is eliminated; consequently, as more and more locations are procured, more and more customers are introduced to AMS’s products and (b) based on internal analysis, management believes the return on investment for each kiosk under this model is 18 months; accordingly, AMS share of the profits then henceforth will be  realized income that was not available via its traditional model.


After exclusion of inter-company transactions, the combined companies generated revenue of approximately $5.8 million in the pre-merger calendar year, including $500,000 generated by AUL’s now temporarily discontinued operations, with gross profits for 2007 of $3.8 million and gross margin percentage for 2007 of 65%.


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 used $1.25 million of the $1.75 million we raised over the last six months in the form of convertible notes.  The approximate $500,000 that remains is not sufficient capital to last the next 12 months. It is our intent to raise significant additional capital once our common stock is approved for trading.

OPERATING MODEL AND REPORTING STRUCTURE

PROPELL CORPORATION


For the purposes of this MD&A, we shall report individually on each of CMI, AMS and AUL for the years ended 2006 and 2007. We shall also provide consolidated financial statements for Propell for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008, which shall include CMI for the six months ended June 30, 2008, Propell beginning January 29, 2008 and AMS and AUL beginning May 6, 2008 (the acquisition date). Additionally, we shall on a pro forma basis provide a comparative analysis of the combined entities for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  Management believes that the pro forma financials are relevant, material, and necessary for prospective investors to properly evaluate an investment in Propell.  


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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007 and the periods ended June 30, 2008.


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 next 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 customer’s financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer’s 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 - Cash Flow Activity  


Propell’s primary sources and uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2008, included losses from continuing operations, adjusted for non-cash items of income and expense and working capital needs and an influx of $1,752,780 in cash from nonrecourse convertible promissory notes that convert into 2,278,000 common shares of the company’s stock. CMI shareholders also provided $262,180 in short term bridge financing.


Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $998,702 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Propell’s 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 decrease in accounts receivables driven by more stringent credit policies.

 

·       An increase in deposits for AMS’s inventory purchases.

 

·       An increase in inventory brought about by increased seasonal requirements for CMI & AMS.

 

·       A decrease in accounts payable brought about by the payment of CMI’s accrued etching fees associated with its Laser Crystal Works contract and a negotiated credit in legal fees associated with CMI’s patent infringement suit with Laser Design International, LLC.

 

·       An increase in deferred revenue relating to extended service contracts for Kiosk units sold by AMS.

 

18




Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was $40,393 attributed to the capital expenditures of $8,000 for the acquisition of the Propell.com domain and $32,393 in capital expenditures of CMI.


Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,983,653 which included $1,752,780 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes that convert into common and $262,180 in short term bridge loans provided by CMI shareholders offset by debt service on CMI’s SBA loans.

CMI’s products and services are sold through multiple sales channels including eight company owned retail stores, distributors, other retailers, resellers and a number of e-commerce websites.

Year-over-year sales decreased by 9% from $4,517,411 to $4,129,130. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in reseller sales brought about in March 2007, when PhotoTLC (one of CMI’s primary resellers), closed its doors without notice. As a result of this single event, CMI’s overall revenue decreased 8% for the year or $375,858, and revenue from reseller sales as a percentage of sales decreased from 18% in 2006 to 11% in 2007.


Revenues from theme park sales which are derived from CMI’s company-owned stores were relatively constant for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and accounted for 67% of CMI’s 2007 annual revenue. Year-over-year revenue from promotional product sales decreased slightly but increased as a percentage of sales to represent 20% of CMI’s 2007 annual revenue.  Internet sales saw a marked increase of 42% due to management’s focus on selling outside its own stores. With the completion of its “Web Stores on Demand” application, management believes it will see even greater increases in sales from this channel.


Year-over-year gross profit decreased, in both dollars and as a percentage of sales, due mainly to a decrease in sales and a slight increase in cost of goods sold attributable to increased shipping and inventory related costs. Manufacturing cost decreased by 2% due to a mix of different products sold throughout the year.


The year-over-year decrease in consolidated SG&A in dollars was primarily attributable to Company-wide cost reduction actions, including significant decreases in insurance and professional fees partially offset by increases in marketing and royalty expenses. The marked decrease in professional fees and the increase in royalties are a result of CMI’s settlement of a patent infringement suit brought against it by Laser Design International, LLC. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, CMI agreed to pay a yearly royalty for the use of the patent, which is based on sales of CMI’s subsurface engraved crystal line of products and is capped at $35,000 per year. Therefore, management does not feel that this will have a material effect in its ongoing operations.


Interest Expense decreased by 8% due to lower debt levels and reduced interest rates.

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 and all assets and liabilities of AUL have been dealt with as described below.


AUL generated $502,596 in net revenues in 2007 and $15,056 in net revenues as of June 30, 2008.  On a pro forma basis, this revenue would have accounted for 9% of Propell’s revenue, if the merger had occurred prior to December 31, 2007 and 1% of the pro forma net revenue for June 30, 2008.


NOTE: As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, AMS had shared payroll, office expenses and rent with AUL in the amount of $168,952 and $97,623, respectively.  Additionally, AMS also contracted services from AUL in the amount of $34,895 in 2007 and $43,785 in 2006.

The six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007 revenues decreased 34% and gross profit decreased 31% primarily due to a decrease in revenue from Crystal Magic and Auleron, which was offset by an increase in revenue from Arrow Media Solutions.


On a pro forma basis, we incurred $2,415,905 in operating expenses during the period ended June 30, 2008, including $345,134 relating to costs of going public and $265,118 related to the development of our Web-stores-on-demand application.


Crystal Magic


For the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with the same period in 2007, revenues decreased 37%. Revenue from all four of CMI’s revenue streams decreased but for differing reasons.


·      Theme park sales decreased 25% as a result of the temporary closure of one of our two Epcot locations. In January 2008, Walt Disney World closed CMI’s 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, which management is working with Disney World to correct. The combined impact of the store closure and change in configuration resulted in a period-over-period decrease in sales from this location of $251,636. Sales at our other theme park stores were down 18% on average, attributable, management believes, to reduced discretionary spending by park visitors.


·      Promotional product sales decreased 33% 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 the reported period which resulted in a period-over-period revenue loss of promotional products sales of $337,285. At this time, it is unknown whether such program will be resumed.  It is our intent to seek other promotional product sales to offset this loss in revenue once we secure additional capital.


·      The closing of PhotoTLC also impacted period-over-period revenues.  Period-over-period reseller sales decreased 93% due to the fact that in March 2007, PhotoTLC (one of CMI’s primary resellers which sold our products in CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and other major pharmacies) closed its doors without notice. As a result CMI saw a period-over-period loss of $196,021 in reseller sales.  One of CMI’s other resellers lost its relationship with Wal-Mart which accounted for a loss of comparative revenue of $76,790.  We intend to offset this loss of revenue by eliminating tiers of distribution and targeting end customers directly using our Web Stores on Demand Internet initiative.


CMI’s Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased an additional 5% period-over-period due largely to an increase in sales that contained lower gross profit margins.  


CMI’s Consolidated SG&A decrease of 8% or $574,033 was primarily attributable to reduced theme park rents and company-wide cost reduction actions, including significant decreases in payroll and consulting expenses.


CMI’s Interest Expense increased by $4,980 or 21% due to bridge loans provided to CMI.


Mountain Capital, LLC (d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions) (AMS)


For the six month period ended June 30, 2008, compared with the same period in 2007, revenues increased significantly as a result of increased sales activity, mainly due to the continuing development of AMS’s relationship with AmerisourceBergen.

25




Gross profit increased quarter-over-quarter in both dollars and as a percentage of sales, due to a decrease in COGS as a percentage of sales. However this decrease is only because of a one-time sale of $57,000 of equipment in the first quarter of 2007 at a significantly reduced gross margin percentage of 15%. Without this lower margin sale, gross profits as a percentage of sales stayed basically constant quarter-over-quarter.


SG&A increased 92% or $233,193 which was primarily attributable to employee related expenses brought about by increased sales and the temporary discontinuance of Auleron’s business.

For the the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 compared with the same period in 2007, gross profits and SG&A expenses decreased due to AUL’s decision to temporarily cease operations.  However, management maintains relationships with Auleron’s network of 3,500 on-call independent contractors to service our installations.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, as compared with the same period in 2007, revenues decreased 27% and gross profit decreased 26% primarily due to a decrease in revenue from Crystal Magic and Auleron, which was offset by a slight increase in revenue from Arrow Media Solutions.


Propell Corporation incurred $398,649 in operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, with $229,806 relating to costs of going public and $168,843 related to the development of its Web-stores-on-demand application.


Crystal Magic


Quarter-over-quarter revenues decreased 22%.  Revenue from three of the four of CMI’s revenue streams decreased but for different reasons, as described below.


·      Theme park sales decreased 24%, primarily as a result of the reconfiguration of the pavilion that contains our premier revenue generating store at Epcot Center. This renovation changed the configuration within the store which has had a negative impact on sales. This factor resulted in a quarter-over-quarter decrease in sales of $113,418. Sales at our other theme park stores are down 15% on average attributable, management believes, to reduced discretionary spending by park visitors. Management intends to raise additional capital which we believe will help us generate additional revenue from our theme park stores by permitting us to update displays, refresh product offerings and train additional staff.


·      Promotional product sales increased 63% or $57,831 as a result of continued trade show and e-mail marketing efforts.


·      The closing of PhotoTLC also impacted revenues. In March 2007, PhotoTLC (one of CMI’s primary resellers which sold our products in CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid and other major pharmacies) closed its doors without notice, resulting in a decrease of 85% in reseller sales; as a result CMI saw a quarter-over-quarter reduction of $64,542 in sales. Additionally, one of CMI’s other resellers lost its relationship with Wal-Mart which accounted for an additional loss of $9,990 in revenues. We intend to offset this loss of revenue by eliminating tiers of distribution and targeting end customers directly using our Web Stores on Demand Internet initiative.


·      Quarter-over-quarter gross profit decreased by 3% from 87% to 84% due largely to a decrease in theme park sales that contain higher gross profit margins.

 


26




·      Quarter-over-quarter consolidated SG&A decreased 17% or $331,637 primarily attributable to reduced theme park rents, a refund of legal fees in the amount of $117,821 and company-wide cost reduction actions, including significant decreases in payroll and consulting expenses


Arrow Media Solutions


Quarter-over-quarter revenues increased slightly mainly due to the continuing development of AMS’s relationship with AmerisourceBergen.


Gross profit increased quarter-over-quarter in both dollars and as a percentage of sales, due to a decrease in COGS as a percentage of sales resulting from  a reduction in the amount of slow moving inventory which in previous quarters had to be sold at reduced prices.


The quarter-over-quarter increase of 96% or $128,558 in consolidated SG&A was primarily attributable to employee related expenses brought about by the temporary cessation of Auleron’s business.


Auleron


Quarter over quarter gross profits and SG&A expenses decreased due to management’s decision to temporarily cease operations. However, management maintains relationships with AUL’s network of 3,500 on-call independent contractors to service our installations.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS


We are an integrated provider of image-based products and services with the mission of leveraging the fundamental transformation of the digital imaging industry. We deliver our products and services through multiple channels, including online stores, our own proprietary photo kiosks, independent resellers and company-owned retail stores.  


We believe we have built a diverse revenue model, with all revenue streams sharing a common theme of enabling the capture and delivery of images and image related products to consumers and businesses – directly to consumers and small businesses, and in partnership with some of the biggest companies in the United States.


We, along with our partners, market our products online, at retail, and through business-to-business partners and resellers. Our current customers include the Walt Disney Co., AmerisourceBergen, and several e-commerce web sites. In addition, our management has a long track record of delivering a variety of consumer and photo products, services and logistics to partners, including Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS and Rite-Aid.


In April 2008, Crystal Magic, Inc. merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, with Crystal Magic surviving the merger and becoming our subsidiary. In May 2008, each of Mountain Capital, LLC (d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions) and Auleron 2005, LLC (d/b/a Auleron Technologies) merged with and into wholly owned subsidiaries of ours. The result of each of the mergers was that each of Mountain Capital, LLC and Auleron 2005, LLC survived the merger and became wholly owned subsidiaries of ours. The merger of Crystal Magic, Inc was accounted for as a reverse merger and Crystal Magic was deemed the acquirer. The transactions 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.



27




Central to our strategy is providing multiple methods for customer acquisition -- whether through our proprietary e-commerce web stores, freestanding digital photo kiosks, or our retail partnerships.  Our products are then delivered to consumers via multiple channels, including online and brick and mortar resellers, and company owned retail locations at Disney World, Disneyland and Universal theme parks.


On a standalone basis, the three companies generated approximately $5.8 million in combined revenues in 2007, including $500,000 generated by Auleron Technologies’ now temporarily discontinued operations of installing third party hardware and software, with gross profits for 2007 of $3.8 million and gross margin percentage for 2007 of 65%. Crystal Magic generated $4,129,130 in revenues in 2007, with gross profits for 2007 of $3,367,698 and gross margin percentage for 2007 of 82%.  Arrow Media Solutions generated $1,403,305 in revenues in 2007, with gross profits for 2007 of $465,702 and gross margin percentage for 2007 of 33%. Auleron Technologies generated $502,596 in revenues in 2007, with gross profits for 2007 of $188,083 and gross margin percentage for 2007 of 37%.  On a pro forma basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, Crystal Magic, Inc.’s sales were $1.5 million and Arrow Media Solutions sales were $400,00. Auleron Technologies provided only $15,000 in revenue, as it was temporarily closed down during the period. Our gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $1.4 million. However, we incurred $2.4 million of operating expenses for a net loss of approximately $1 million. At June 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $1,901,124.


The Crystal Magic Division


Crystal Magic’s core business began nearly a decade ago by using proprietary laser technology to create three-dimensional laser images engraved inside solid crystal, sold in company-owned stores within Disney and Universal theme parks, and later expanded to a wide range of image-based merchandise offered in mass market retail.  The company’s founders have long-standing relationships with Disney, Universal Studios and other entertainment locations.


Today, the Crystal Magic division’s products are delivered at theme parks, on a wholesale basis to retailers, to small and large corporate clients and through our proprietary online system that allows partners to create “Web Stores on Demand” (also marketed as “PropellStores”).


We believe Web Stores on Demand opens up substantial new opportunities and channels for us by providing partner web sites with the opportunity to easily integrate a photo merchandise online store into their sites with little effort or cost, and is a key part of our strategy for 2008 and beyond.


Crystal Magic also has a long track record delivering personalized 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. Crystal Magic has served these markets since 2001, and we see particular opportunity to leverage our Web Stores capabilities to expand its efforts in the promotional products category, where, according to the Promotional Products Association International’s 2007 Estimate of Promotional Products Distribution sales, only 14% of industry revenues are generated from online sales methods.


Crystal Magic’s operations run 365 days a year, permitting it to offer all its channels in what we believe to be consistent and rapid turnaround times, including during seasonal spikes.  To do so, Crystal Magic has developed proprietary software and systems that integrate into each of its customers’ data processing systems. In addition, in our theme park operations, we have developed in-house software that allows us to capture photos from specialty cameras, and put the photos into a format so that the customers can review and select them, and then converts them into a format that can be used for manufacturing. We do not currently have any patents for the intellectual property that we have developed.


We have also developed in-house a system that lets us track customer orders, batch them for manufacturing, and identify where they are in each stage of manufacturing and shipment.  We've also developed various specialized reporting systems so that we can manage our revenues and expenses.



28




In our production lab, we have developed software to convert a two-dimensional photo into “two and a half D” – our name for software techniques that alters a photograph to create a perception of depth in the final image when it is engraved inside glass.

We have developed a web-based “portal” in which wholesale customers can place orders directly into our manufacturing queue. We also have developed a system that monitors orders that are ready to be shipped, and appropriately batches them with other orders in process, in an effort to save costs for both us and our customer. We have developed our own Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software that translates our order data into a format that can be understood by our customers’ systems.

We are also one of fewer than 10 U.S. companies that hold a worldwide license from Laser Design International LLC (LDI) to its patented technology to perform subsurface laser etching in our photo crystal product line. To our knowledge, there is no other way to create such products without violating the LDI patent.


Crystal Magic reduces costs by sourcing a significant percentage of its raw materials directly from overseas.


Sales of Crystal Magic’s products and services represented 71% of the  2007 combined sales of all three subsidiaries and 78% of our total combined pro forma sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Since most of our competitors in this category are privately held, and there is no published industry data for this category, we cannot determine the overall market size, or our relative position in the market.


The Arrow Media Solutions Division

Our Arrow Media Solutions division provides digital photo kiosk solutions for retail.  Historically, Arrow Media Solutions has focused partners in “nontraditional” channels – retailers who previously had limited presence in the photo category.  We believe Arrow Media Solutions’ kiosks help retailers in their goal to increase store visits and repeat business.


Arrow Media Solutions’ revenues increased over the last two years after securing a relationship with AmerisourceBergen, a large healthcare company. During 2007, Arrow Media Solutions generated revenue of approximately $1.4 million of which approximately $1.1 million was derived from revenue generated from its relationship with AmerisourceBergen.


Arrow Media Solutions places its kiosks on a “distribution model” to generate revenue and is currently testing a “placement model.” In the distribution model, Arrow Media Solutions sells the kiosk solution to the partner at a profit. It is also anticipated that we will make additional revenues by selling supplies and other products to the partner. Most profits from retail sales are retained by the partner. In the placement model, currently being tested in a select number of retail locations, Arrow Media Solutions bears the cost of providing the kiosk, with the partner paying a monthly maintenance fee and Arrow Media Solutions receiving all revenues directly, paying a share to the partner. This model requires larger investment by Arrow Media Solutions but is designed to afford the company a much greater share of profits. Almost all of Arrow Media Solutions current kiosk revenues are based on the distribution model. This business generated approximately $1.4 million in gross revenues in 2007. We are currently testing the placement model, which has generated no material revenue yet.


Sales of Arrow Media Solution’s products and services represented 24% of the 2007 combined sales of all three subsidiaries and 21% of our combined pro forma sales for the six months ended June 30, 2008.


The Auleron Technologies Division


Auleron Technologies was founded nearly seven years ago by the same management team that later created Arrow Media Solutions. Originally, Auleron was a service provider to third parties, helping retail, financial and technology organizations install new hardware and software in various locations.



29




Auleron has acted as a subcontractor to certain regional or national service providers to assist the service providers in completing contracts in which the service provider had been hired by a retailer to install computer equipment in many locations. Auleron’s project managers and contract technicians would then manage and execute all or part of the installation work in various locations on behalf of the service provider.


For example, Qualxserv, a technology services company, was hired by the CVS drug store chain to upgrade computer equipment in its stores. Qualxserv subcontracted the work to Auleron, in which Auleron representatives visited 800 CVS stores, physically installed new computer network routers, configured the software for each router, and removed old equipment.


For Nfrastructure, another service provider, Auleron installed point-of-sale computer systems at 800 Footlocker stores. For Imagistics, a spinoff of Pitney Bowes Inc., Auleron technicians installed and tested cabling for computer network systems in 15 regional offices.


Auleron also worked with Cardtronics, a large supplier of automated teller machines (ATMs). Cardtronics hired Auleron to install and configure its ATMs at a variety of locations including those in Winn Dixie supermarkets, 7-Eleven convenience stores and Circle K gas stations. Cardtronics would ship equipment to a location, and Auleron technicians would then set up the ATM, configure its software, and test it.


While Auleron Technologies has temporarily discontinued its operations and no longer performs this work for third parties, the Auleron Technologies infrastructure has been maintained to serve our internal needs, making available an on-call network of over 3,500 technicians to service Propell installations. These technicians are not our employees but rather are independent contractors.


We believe that maintaining this capability gives us the ability to compete with large providers of photo kiosks. This network is useful in installing and maintaining hardware, and we believe in reassuring large customers that we can provide adequate field support.


Market size/opportunity


We were created to acquire and aggregate customers and leverage significant growth trends and opportunities in the rapidly evolving photo industry as well as related opportunities in the corporate market for customized products. We present here various statistics and other industry information that are generally available to the public or to members of industry trade associations. With respect to the Photo Marketing Association (“PMA”), Arrow Media Solutions pays to be a member of that association, and receives that association’s statistics as all members do. We did not fund nor were we otherwise affiliated with any of the studies that are the basis for these statistics and other industry information.   


Our management team has extensive experience in technology, customer acquisition, ecommerce and retail – with particular focus in the online, kiosk and photo merchandise category, as well as the  promotional products market.  


We formed our company by joining businesses that already had experience in delivering wholesale and retail kiosk and photo gift products and services, and combining that with an expansion into providing online services that stand alone or integrate with the kiosk’s retail solution.


The photography industry has evolved significantly in the last few years as digital technologies and services have replaced traditional film processing and online services have grown.    As traditional film processing has declined, new opportunities, and new demands from consumers, have been created.  Retail and online photo printing – including in-store kiosks – has grown from a $354 million business in 2003 to an estimated $2 billion business in 2007, according to the PMA, which is the largest industry trade group.





30




The following chart, from the PMA’s  Marketing Research division, shows the spending in the United States on major digital photo categories during the years 2003 through 2007, with 2006 being estimated and 2007 being projected.



Separately, the “custom products/gifts” category – defined by the PMA as “personalized calendars, photo books, posters, t-shirts, mugs mouse pads, photo CDs and DVDs ordered at retail or at online stores” – has grown from $250 million in 2004 to an estimated $951 million in 2007, a nearly fourfold increase in three years, according to the PMA research division.


Retail prints from digital cameras – which can be made online, in-store on mini-labs or, increasingly, in-store using the type of kiosks that Propell offers – grew from 700 million prints in 2003 to nearly 10 billion prints estimated for 2007, with an increase of 39% over 2006, according to the PMA research division.  Prints made instantly on kiosks accounted for approximately one-fourth of online and in-store prints in 2006, or 30% of just in-store prints, according to the PMA. As online and other channels grow, we expect that kiosk growth will continue to grow in absolute numbers, although fast growth in online is expected to reduce kiosk printing as a percentage of the overall market.




31




The following charts from the PMA research division show the change in the methods used for making digital prints and the percentage of households that ordered or made custom photo products or gifts.



It is important to note that the growth in digital printing is tied directly to growth in photo gifts – a household with a digital camera is more than four times as likely to create a photo gift, according to the PMA.





32




The online marketplace for image-based products actually spans several categories, including photo sharing web sites and image merchandise sites. Photo sharing web sites, such as Shutterfly, Kodak Gallery and Snapfish, are designed for consumers and are optimized for sharing and printing photos, and creating photo merchandise from those images. Image merchandise sites, such as Zazzle, Cafepress and Threadless, allow artists, consumers and small businesses to create their own custom web stores featuring selected images that can be reproduced on a broad variety of merchandise. Social networks, including Flickr, Myspace, and Facebook, have extensive photo capabilities integrated into their functionality.


We believe that the custom photo gift category is fragmented, with only one major player, the PhotoThis division of privately held District Photo, providing large-scale fulfillment across a broad category of products to multiple large customers.

  

We also compete in the promotional products category, also known as the advertising specialty category.  Promotional products, which include any products used to promote a product, service or company program, including textiles and other personalized products, constitute a $19.4 billion category, according to the Promotional Products Association International (PPAI), an industry trade association.


We see significant opportunity given that more than half of distributors in the promotional products category are small businesses (defined as those under $2.5 million), and only 14% of industry revenues are generated from online sales methods, according to the most recent data available from PPAI.


Our Strategy

Overview

We believe that our combined resources permit us to offer a complete, integrated package of image-related products and services from a single source – delivered to consumers in multiple channels of distribution, both directly and through partnerships with established corporate players. We expect that this will provide the opportunity to further monetize our existing customers by broadening the product offering, enhancing the convenience of ordering (at kiosk, online or at retail), and expanding presence both online and at retail.


Further, we expect that the combination will give us the ability to acquire customers – both business partners and consumers -- by providing an integrated online, kiosk and fulfillment service.


Specifically, the combination creates a single company that:


·       Brings together experienced management teams.

·      Leverages additional capital resources to expand each of our existing businesses, and enter new markets, especially “Web Stores on Demand.”

·      Can provide a complete, integrated solution for retail customers, offering a single stop partner providing any or all of the following:

o      a hardware kiosk that offers a wide variety of image-based prints and gifts that customers can order in-store

o      a web store that integrates with the same account and permits the customer to order from home

o      a wide variety of products that can be made and delivered quickly and cost effectively by the same company

33




How we address the competitive opportunity

We believe we can compete effectively by offering a set of integrated solutions -- one that includes web services, kiosks, in-house product fulfillment, and a nationwide service network.   Management is focused on offering these components, on a standalone basis or integrated as a complete system, to nontraditional markets – which we define as those businesses that historically have not done significant business in the type of photo products and services that we offer.


Our new  “Web Stores on Demand” service permits artists, consumers and businesses to instantly create an online store for merchandise featuring their images, with our company performing all fulfillment, manufacturing, shipping and billing.


Our kiosks offer a companion web-based service that allows customers to access photos uploaded at the kiosk, and images uploaded to the web can be accessed from select kiosks.


Our retail operations selling photo crystals at Disney and Universal theme parks have enjoyed continuing sales despite the limited resources for expansion or marketing.  Management believes additional resources will help us to generate additional revenues at its theme park operations by permitting updated displays, refreshed and broader product offerings and additional staff training.


Additionally, our management has experience in retail fulfillment. One of our  founders previously created PhotoTLC, a a photo merchandise company serving  major retail customers including Walgreens, Wal-Mart, CVS, Rite Aid and Meijer stores. Our Crystal Magic subsidiary was a major supplier to PhotoTLC, as well as other retail customers.


Finally, through our Crystal Magic operation, we have experience in the promotional products category.  The creation, manufacturing and distribution of promotional products use the same expertise and facilities as our other product offerings.  We believe that the expanded offerings created by our recent merger further enhance the company’s ability to address the promotional products market, including offering web stores to corporate customers as well as expanded product line of imaging products and the introduction of kiosks to corporate locations.  


In each of our partnerships, we seek to maintain branding for our product offerings wherever possible, and create exclusive partnerships. We intend to both co-brand (“Powered by Propell”) and build direct relationships with consumers so that our own brand can stand alone in specific categories of business, building brand loyalty at multiple “touch points” (for example, a retail kiosk and web offering) and increasing margins by removing “middle men.”  Given large enough opportunities such as our existing relationship with Disney theme parks, the company will continue to co-brand or offer its service on a “private label” basis, which means providing our services or products under our customers’ brand names instead of our own.


Our product and service offerings

We expect to increase our  customers and provide solutions in several categories:


Web solutions (including Web Stores on Demand and Web Direct.)


In Web Stores on Demand (WSOD), we offer a turnkey photo gift web site.  WSOD permits a partner – whether a rock band, a business, or classroom – to create a complete web store with up to 200 items of personalized photo merchandise.  The partner sets the prices, and we create the store, make the products on demand, ship them, collect the revenues, and send the partner a check for the profits.  We are currently targeting a number of partnerships for the WSOD service with existing social network and other web sites with large user bases.


With Web Direct, we maintain our own online web photo sites where consumers can upload, print and create gifts with their photos.   We currently maintain a direct web site for consumers at www.thebestphotogifts.com, as well as a promotional products web site at www.uspromoproducts.com.



34




Our Web Stores on Demand, including our transmission of digital images over the Internet, are subject to regulation by the U.S. Postal Service, the Federal Trade Commission and various states, local, and private consumer protection and other regulatory authorities. In general, these regulations govern privacy, the manner in which orders may be solicited, the form and content of advertisements, information which must be provided to prospective customers, the time within which orders must be filled, obligations to customers if orders are not shipped within a specified period of time, and the time within which refunds must be paid if the ordered merchandise is unavailable or returned. Congress has enacted legislation to specifically regulate online commerce and communications and has addressed such issues as the transmission of certain materials to children, intellectual property protection, and taxation. Other legislation could result in additional regulation or prohibition of the transmission of certain types of content over the Internet. This regulation could limit the type of business we pursue or increase the costs to ensure compliance.


Kiosk solutions


We offer Arrow Media Solutions-branded and co-branded and partner-branded kiosks through a distribution model.  We are currently testing a placement model.  As described earlier, in the distribution model, we sell the kiosk to the partner at a profit, and then make additional revenues by selling supplies to the partner.  Most profits are then retained by the partner.  In the placement model that we are currently testing, we bear the cost of providing the kiosk, with the partner paying a monthly maintenance fee and receiving a commission on sales. To date, we have not derived any material revenue from the placement model.


Consumer photo products


Subsurface laser etched crystal and photo gifts, delivered through web and kiosk, but also through third party channels, including independent retail and online resellers and promotional products distributors.


Retail stores


Our own stores inside of tourist locations, including Disney World, Disneyland and Universal Studios.


Support network


In an effort to ensure success in our kiosk installations our support division manages a network of 3,500 independent contractors who assist in the maintenance and repair of our hardware in the field.


Channels


We deliver our products and services through a diverse set of retail, wholesale and online channels.  We believe having several sales channels will maximize sales potential while minimizing the risk that any underperforming channel will jeopardize the overall business.


We break down our major channels as follows:


Web Stores on Demand (WSOD)


Our  newest initiative, WSOD, is designed to allow web or corporate partners to create a web site offering over 200 photo gifts.


Web direct


We operate our own web sites, targeting the advertising specialty and consumer markets, that sell a broad spectrum of photo merchandise.


Kiosk Partnerships and Placements


Our Kiosk Solutions division both sells kiosks to retail partners, as well as placing them and retaining ownership in retail and other brick & mortar settings.  (See Resellers and Strategic OEMs sections below).



35




Theme parks


Primarily subsurface laser crystal, sold at retail locations within Disneyland, Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando.  


Resellers – big box


This category includes major mass market retailers such as Walgreens or CVS.  Historically, we have served this market and selectively may re-enter it.


Resellers – independent


These include small online retailers, independent gift and award stores. We currently provide photo gifts, crystals and kiosks to these customers.


Promotional sales


Our subsurface crystal products are sold to the promotional products industry, both directly to large corporate clients and through resellers. Historically we have provided such products for a wide range of end customers including Ford Motor Company, UBS, Starwood Hotels, Martin Marietta, NASA, and Major League Baseball, NFL and the NBA. We plan to expand our photo merchandise and kiosk offerings into this category.


Government sales


Through specialty resellers, we historically have sold subsurface products to a wide range of government and military customers including the Pentagon, Army, Air Force, NASA and the White House.


Strategic OEMs


In special channels, we partner strategically to bring a customized offering to market.  An example is our partnership with AmerisourceBergen, in which our kiosk division provides custom offerings for this pharmaceutical company and its Good Neighbor Pharmacy and Family Pharmacy member stores.


Key relationships


We currently maintain strategic or distribution relationships with several companies, including the Walt Disney Co., Universal Studios and AmerisourceBergen.


Walt Disney Co.


Through its Crystal Magic operations, the company has been doing business in Disney theme parks since 1999, with multiple operations now at Disneyland and Disney World.


Crystal Magic has six separate staffed facilities within the Disney parks, including Epcot Center, Magic Kingdom, Disneyland, California Adventure and Downtown Disney.  Including the nine years since Crystal Magic was founded, Steven Rhodes, Crystal Magic’s founder, has been a supplier to Disney for more than 20 years.


Crystal Magic, Inc. has a revocable license agreement with Disneyland Resort, a Division of Walt Disney World Co. which enables Crystal Magic to generate portraits and sculpture reproductions using Disney 3-D characters, logos and/or names (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto) inside optically transparent materials at Disneyland Park, Disney’s California Adventure Park and Downtown Disney. This agreement expires on October 30, 2008, unless renewed.


Crystal Magic, Inc. also has a Concession Agreement with Walt Disney World Co. that grants Crystal Magic a license to generate guest portraits and sculpture reproductions using Disney 3-D characters, logos and/or names inside optically transparent material at Epcot and Magic Kingdom located at Walt Disney World Resort. This agreement expires on October 30, 2008, unless renewed.



36




Universal


Since 2001, we have maintained our own facilities as the only supplier of subsurface laser etched photo crystals at the Universal Orlando Resort’s theme parks.


Through its Crystal Magic operation, we have staffed locations at Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida parks.


As with Disney, including the seven years since Crystal Magic first began business with Universal, Propell cofounder Steven M. Rhodes has been a supplier to Universal for more than 20 years.


Crystal Magic, Inc. has an agreement with Universal City Development Partners, L.P. pursuant to which Crystal Magic may operate multiple carts/kiosks in Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. This agreement expires on January 2, 2010, unless renewed.


AmerisourceBergen


Our Arrow Media Solutions division is the exclusive provider of digital kiosks to AmerisourceBergen, a pharmaceutical distributor to the drug store channel in the U.S. This division has a Marketing Representative Agreement with AmerisourceBergen Corporation which appoints Arrow Media Solutions as the exclusive marketing representative for the sale of kiosks to transfer digital images to customers of AmerisourceBergen Corporation. The agreement expires in July 2009, with a one year renewal option.


AmerisourceBergen has 11,000 pharmacy customers consisting of 3,000 stores in two independent networks that it manages under the brands Good Neighbor Pharmacy and Family Pharmacy. There are an additional 8,000 independent stores in the AmerisourceBergen customer base.


Laser Design International LLC


Through its Crystal Magic subsidiary, we are one of fewer than 10 U.S. companies that hold a worldwide license from Laser Design International LLC to the subsurface laser etching technology used in our photo crystal product line. The agreement is perpetual, until such time as the LDI patent expires.


Our operating results with these key relationships will fluctuate in large part due to the seasonality of consumer photographic activity and the seasonality of the theme parks in which we sell our products.


Competition


We have competition in various aspects of our business, including subsurface laser etched crystal, wholesale and retail photo gifts, photo kiosks and online photo prints and merchandise.


Subsurface etching


The subsurface laser etched crystal portion of the business represented by the Crystal Magic division competes in a fragmented market. Since most of our competitors are privately held and there is no published industry data that we are aware of for this category, we cannot determine the overall market size, or our relative position in the market or those of our competitors, with the exception of Seaena Inc., a public company that had total revenues in 2007 of $3.3 million with a total loss in 2007 of $3.4 million. Our competitors here include Seaena Inc., GW Crystal, Jaffa Giftware, and Laser Crystal Works.


We distinguish ourselves from the competition in several ways. In our subsurface laser crystal business, we are one of fewer than 10 companies with a worldwide license from Laser Design International LLC (“LDI”). To our knowledge, the patented technology controlled by LDI is required to compete in this segment, since it is the only way to legally create products using subsurface etching in transparent materials. Our license is perpetual, so long as the patent remains in force. To our knowledge, there is no other way to create such products without violating the patent. Since we believe a license under this patent is required, our having this license provides a competitive advantage against other companies that might seek to enter the business.

We have a longstanding relationship with Disney and Universal Studios permitting us to distribute our products at both companies’ theme parks. We believe this permits a larger operation than our competitors, one that run 365 days a year and serves multiple channels of distribution, including the theme parks, promotional products industry, through resellers, and online.


Photo gifting


We believe the photo merchandise business is fragmented among a number of suppliers. In the wholesale channel, we believe the only major supplier is the PhotoThis division of traditional photo processor District Photo, along with a number of smaller players such as EZ Prints and Imagine Your Photos. Since these companies are privately held, we cannot determine the overall market size, or our relative position in the market.


Eastman Kodak Co. has its own photo gift operation whose largest customer, we believe, is its own web site at www.kodakgallery.com as well as the CVS drug chain.  Fujicolor Labs, which primarily serves Wal-Mart and the Longs Drug chain, has a limited in-house photo gift facility but, we believe, largely outsources its production work to third parties.  Many large chains, including Walgreens, rely on the District Photo service.


On the online side, many of the leading players, including Shutterfly, rely on both internal resources and outsource suppliers. Shutterfly, for instance, has a significant infrastructure to handle gifting and other photo merchandise internally (along with its extensive in-house photo printing capacity) but relies on others for seasonal capacity. Both Zazzle and Cafepress maintain internal capacity but do not to our knowledge provide third-party services to retailers.


We historically have served as an outsource supplier to major retailers, and believe we have the infrastructure, software and systems to handle significant volume across a broad spectrum of photo gifts.  In fact, as a supplier to PhotoTLC, formerly a leader in providing wholesale gifts to mass market retailers, our Crystal Magic division supplied a significant percentage of PhotoTLC’s production for over 19,000 retail locations.


Our order system, unlike those of our competitors, also permits us to serve as an aggregator for major retailers.  In the aggregator model, both our products and designated third-party products can be run through the same system.  This permits, for instance, a retailer to send a single image to us that we can use to manufacture an in-house product, and then we can also forward that image to a specialty manufacturer of the retailer’s choice if that item is not made by us. Our system tracks the third-party order as well as our own, and handles all billing and communication with the retailer.  We believe that this system meets a complex but very real need for retailers during peak demand periods (particularly the December holidays), since consumers frequently submit a single photo for a single order that includes multiple types of product that require separate factories.


While we have in the past used these systems to serve large, mass-market retailers, we do not currently do so but believe these capabilities are equally useful in serving smaller niche markets where the same principles apply.


Kiosks


There are a number of competitors in the kiosk industry with a variety of different business models.  Major competitors approach the market from a variety of angles including brand, software and aftermarket service. The largest competitors in the kiosk space focus on so-called big-box retailers with store counts in excess of 1,000.


These companies, including Kodak and Fuji, use kiosks as a way to extend their brand franchises. We believe they are less focused on kiosk hardware design and service than on using kiosks to drive customer awareness and sales of supplies. Their kiosk operating systems are designed in a closed loop manner, which makes them more difficult to service and scale. Due to their size, these companies have been successful at deploying large numbers of kiosks in stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, CVS and Rite Aid. Together, management estimates that these companies have an estimated 80,000 units in the field.



38




Our Arrow Media Solutions division competes with these large players on the basis of what we believe is superior service, product design, a willingness to cobrand, and hardware and software reliability.  Our kiosks also offer a second display screen for advertising, unlike competitors, and are built modularly, permitting quick and simplified field service by swapping components.


Other competitors who are smaller than Kodak and Fuji, such as Lucidium and Pixel Magic, have been successful in gaining some share of the big box retail market as well as the non-traditional market. Lucidium is a primarily a software development company that offers a kiosk product that is less expensive than competing units.

 

Other competitors include Witech, Pixology, and to a limited extent Sony and Mitsubishi, who are suppliers to us but also provide third-party kiosk solutions to some of their own customers.


We began as a service organization that installs and supports kiosks and other hardware for Fortune 500 (and smaller) companies nationwide. Although we no longer derive revenue from the provision of such services to third parties, through our service division, we have a network of over 3,500 technicians who are independent contractors that can respond seven days a week to ensure our kiosks are operating properly with as little interruption of service as possible. This service offering includes remote monitoring of kiosks, in-house help desk, and a modular hardware design that permits rapid service in the field.


Online


Competition in online photo and merchandise space takes several forms. Photo sharing web sites are designed for consumers and are optimized for sharing and printing photos, and creating photo merchandise from those images.   Competitors include Kodak Gallery, Shutterfly, Snapfish, Photobucket, Webshots, and to some extent Myspace, Facebook and other social networking sites, as well as the web sites of photo retailers such as Walgreens, Wal-Mart and CVS.


Image merchandise sites allow artists, consumers and small businesses to create their own custom Web Stores featuring selected images.  Competitors include Zazzle, Cafepress and Threadless.


After analyzing existing online players in the photo merchandise category, we believe we identified a significant underserved opportunity to partner with key business partners to provide a “Web Stores on Demand” service that most closely competes with the image merchandise companies such as Zazzle and Cafepress, but has what we believe are advantages in product quality, pricing, ease of setup and turnaround times.  In particular, Zazzle and Cafepress focus on the artist and small-group market, where we believe a large, underserved market exists in partnering with a broader range of customers including corporate, special interest and medium large organizations.


Intellectual property


We have created or licensed a variety of proprietary software, hardware and operational systems that we believe distinguishes us from our competitors. We do not have patents on any of this software, hardware or operational systems.


In our subsurface laser crystal business, we are one of fewer than 10 companies with a worldwide license necessary to manufacture and distribute products based on this patented technology.  The license is perpetual, so long as the patent remains in force, and is required to produce products using subsurface etching in transparent materials. To our knowledge, there is no other way to create such products without violating the patent.


As stated previously, in our Crystal Magic division we have developed proprietary software and systems that integrate into each of our customers’ data processing systems.  In our theme park operations, we have developed in-house software that lets us capture photos from specialty cameras, and put the photos into a format so they can be reviewed and selected by the consumer, and then converts them into a format that can be used for manufacturing.



39




We have also developed in-house a system that lets us track customer orders, batch them for manufacturing, and identify where they are in each stage of manufacturing and shipment.  We've also developed various specialized reporting systems so that we can manage our revenues and expenses.


In our production lab, we've developed software to convert a two-dimensional photo into “two and a half D” – our name for software techniques that alters a photograph to create a perception of depth in the final image when it is engraved inside glass.


We have developed a web-based “portal” in which wholesale customers can place orders directly into our manufacturing queue. We also have developed a system that monitors orders that are ready to be shipped, and appropriately batches them with other orders in process, in an effort to save costs for both our customer and us.    We have developed our own Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) software that translates our order data into a format that can be understood by our customers’ systems.


In our kiosk business, we have developed an  integrated system including remote monitoring of kiosks in the field, help desk and a technician-dispatch system. Additionally, we contract for custom kiosk software development depending on the OEM or retail partner’s needs.  


Our Web Stores on Demand web services were created using our own technology, as well as propietary enhancements to open source software tools.


Insurance


We have insurance for general commercial liability with the Zurich Group in an amount of $2 million. We have worker’s compensation insurance with The Hartford in an amount equal to 100% of our payroll for the current year. We have products and completed operations insurance in the aggregate amount of $2 million.


Operations


The company has offices in Orlando, Fla., Brea (Orange County), Calif.; and the San Francisco Bay Area.


Activities in the Orlando office include finance, management of the theme park locations, as well as web store development, subsurface laser and gift manufacturing.


Kiosk, design, staging and assembly are done in Brea.


The San Francisco area office is primarily focused on sales, strategic partnerships and business development.


Laser and gift materials are sourced from overseas.   Kiosks are assembled, primarily in Brea, using components from several outsource vendors including those providing kiosk hardware, computer units, printers and software.


In addition, we maintain the following company-staffed retail locations in Florida and California:


·      Disney World (Florida)

o      Two locations at Epcot (Disney World Florida):

§      one at the Mouse Gear retail location

§      a 600-sq-ft retail and production facility at the Imagination Institute

o      One retail location at Space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom

Director Independence

Our directors, Edward L. Bernstein and Steven M. Rhodes, are not independent because of their positions as executive officers of our company. We expect to add independent directors to our board in the near future.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors acts as our audit committee. No member of our board of directors is an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

Upon evaluating our internal controls, our board of directors determined that our internal controls are adequate to insure that financial information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely and accurate manner in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, our board of directors concluded that the benefits of retaining an individual who qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” would be outweighed by the costs of retaining such a person.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

None of our directors and executive officers nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares equaling more than 5% of our common stock, nor any members of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction that we have entered into since our incorporation or any proposed transaction except that our wholly owned subsidiary Crystal Magic, Inc. borrowed $204,000 during the first quarter of 2008 from Lanai Investments, LLC  which is owned by Steven M. Rhodes and $75,000 during the first quarter of 2008 from Loco Lobo Investments, LLC, of which John Wolf is the manager. Both of these loans bear interest at 6% and are due if and when we receive $2 million in equity financing. With respect to the loan from Lanai Investments, LLC, $204,000 remains outstanding, no principal has been repaid to date, and $1,607 in interest has been accrued as of June 30, 2008. With respect to the loan from Loco Lobo Investments, LLC, $75,000 remains outstanding, no principal has been repaid to date, and $339 in interest has been accrued as of June 30, 2008. Mr. Rhodes is our Chairman and Chief Financial Officer. He founded Crystal Magic, Inc. in 1999. Mr. Wolf is an Executive Vice President with us and was a part owner of Crystal Magic, Inc.

 

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, Arrow Media Solutions had shared payroll, and shared office and rent expenses with Auleron Technologies in the amount of $168,952 and $97,623, respectively. Arrow Media Solutions also contracted services from Auleron Technologies in the amount of $34,895 in 2007 and $43,785 in 2006.

LITIGATION


From time to time, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits, and disputes with third parties, actions incidental to the normal operations of the business. As of the date of this offering, we are not aware of any material claims, lawsuits, disputes with third parties or the like that would have any material adverse affect on our business.


EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following table discloses the compensation that was paid to our executive officers in the year ended December 31, 2007 before we completed the merger of Crystal Magic, Inc., Mountain Capital, LLC and Auleron 2005, LLC in April and May 2008.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION


We currently do not pay our directors compensation for their service as directors.


PROPELL CORPORATION 2008 STOCK OPTION PLAN


Our board of directors adopted the Propell Corporation 2008 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) in April 2008 to promote our long-term growth and profitability by (i) providing our key directors, officers and employees with incentives to improve stockholder value and contribute to our growth and financial success and (ii) enable us to attract, retain and reward the best available persons for positions of substantial responsibility. 1,250,000 stock options were granted in 2008. As described more fully below, the Plan provides for grants of options to purchase specified numbers of shares of Common Stock at predetermined prices.


The following discussion represents only a summary of certain of the plan terms and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete plan, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.


Shares Available; Maximum Awards; Participants . A total of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock has been reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan. The Plan allows the Company to grant options to employees, officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries; provided that only employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may receive incentive stock options under the Plan. The Company has granted a total of 1,250,000 options as of the date of this prospectus.


Stock Option Features . Under the Plan, options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock may take the form of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or nonqualified stock options (“NQSOs”). As required by Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate fair market value (as defined in the Plan) of shares of Common Stock (determined as of the date of grant of the ISO) with respect to which ISOs granted to an employee are exercisable for the first time in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. The foregoing limitation does not apply to NQSOs.


Initially, each option will be exercisable over a period, determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, in its discretion, of up to ten years from the date of grant. Options may be exercisable during the option period at such time, in such amounts, and in accordance with such terms and conditions and subject to such restrictions as are determined by the Board and set forth in option agreements evidencing the grant of such options.


The exercise price of options granted pursuant to the Plan is determined by the Board, in its discretion; provided that the exercise price of an ISO may not be less than 100% of the fair market value (as defined in the Plan) of the shares of the Company Common Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of options granted pursuant to the Plan is subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan to reflect stock dividends, splits, other recapitalizations or reclassifications or changes in the market value of the Company Common Stock. In addition, the Plan provides that, in the event of a proposed change in control of the Company (as defined in the Plan), the Board of Directors is to take such actions as it deems appropriate to effectuate the purposes of the Plan and to protect the grantees of options, which action may include (i) acceleration or change of the exercise dates of any option; (ii) arrangements with grantees for the payment of appropriate consideration to them for the cancellation and surrender of any option; and (iii) in any case where equity securities other than Common Stock are proposed to be delivered in exchange for or with respect to Common Stock, arrangements providing that any option shall become one or more options with respect to such other equity securities. Further, in the event the Company dissolves and liquidates (other than pursuant to a plan of merger or reorganization), then notwithstanding any restrictions on exercise set forth in the Plan or any grant agreement pursuant thereto (i) each grantee shall have the right to exercise his option at any time up to ten days prior to the effective date of such liquidation and dissolution; and (ii) the Board of Directors may make arrangements with the grantees for the payment of appropriate consideration to them for the cancellation and surrender of any option that is so canceled or surrendered at any time up to ten days prior to the effective date of such liquidation and dissolution. The Board of Directors also may establish a different period (and different conditions) for such exercise, cancellation, or surrender to avoid subjecting the grantee to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.



45




The shares purchased upon the exercise of an option are to be paid for by the optionee in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Board. In addition, the Plan allows for broker-assisted cashless exercises in the discretion of the Board of Directors.


Except as permitted pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and in any event in the case of an ISO, an option is not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. In no case may the options be exercised later than the expiration date specified in the option agreement.


Plan Administration . The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors, or a committee of the board if so approved by the board, in accordance with the provisions of Rule 16b-3.


The Board of Directors will decide when and to whom to make grants, the number of shares to be covered by the grants, the vesting schedule, the type of awards and the terms and provisions relating to the exercise of the awards. The Board may interpret the Plan and may at any time adopt such rules and regulations for the Plan as it deems advisable. The Board of Directors may at any time amend or terminate the Plan and change its terms and conditions, except that, without stockholder approval, no such amendment may (i) materially increase the maximum number of shares as to which awards may be granted under the Plan; (ii) materially increase the benefits accruing to Plan participants; or (iii) materially change the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan.


Accounting Effects . Under current accounting rules, neither the grant of options at an exercise price not less than the current fair market value of the underlying Common Stock, nor the exercise of options under the Plan, is expected to result in any charge to the earnings of the Company.


Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences . The following is a brief summary of certain Federal income tax aspects of awards under the Plan based upon the Federal income tax laws in effect on the date hereof. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not describe state or local tax consequences.


Incentive Stock Options . An optionee will not realize taxable income upon the grant of an ISO. In addition, an optionee will not realize taxable income upon the exercise of an ISO, provided that such exercise occurs no later than three months after the optionee’s termination of employment with the Company (one year in the event of a termination on account of disability). However, an optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income will be increased by the amount that the fair market value of the shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO, generally determined as of the date of exercise, exceeds the exercise price of the option. If an optionee sells the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO, the tax consequences of the disposition depend upon whether the disposition is qualifying or disqualifying. The disposition of the shares is qualifying if made more than two years after the date the ISO was granted and more than one year after the date the ISO was exercised. If the disposition of the shares is qualifying, any excess of the sale price of the shares over the exercise price of the ISO would be treated as long-term capital gain taxable to the option holder at the time of the sale. If the disposition is not qualifying, i.e., a disqualifying disposition, the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the ISO was exercised over the exercise price would be compensation income taxable to the optionee at the time of the disposition, and any excess of the sale price of the shares over the fair market value of the shares on the date the ISO was exercised would be capital gain.


Unless an optionee engages in a disqualifying disposition, the Company will not be entitled to a deduction with respect to an ISO. However, if an optionee engages in a disqualifying disposition, the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of compensation income taxable to the optionee.


Nonqualified Stock Options . An optionee will not realize taxable income upon the grant of an NQSO. However, when the optionee exercises the NQSO, the difference between the exercise price of the NQSO and the fair market value of the shares acquired upon exercise of the NQSO on the date of exercise is compensation income taxable to the optionee. The Company generally will be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of compensation income taxable to the optionee.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The table below sets forth the name of each person who is offering for resale shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person, the number of shares of common stock that may be sold in this offering, and the number of shares of common stock each person will own after the offering, assuming they sell all of the shares offered. To the extent that any successor(s) to the named selling stockholders wishes to sell under this prospectus, we will file a prospectus supplement identifying such successor(s) as selling stockholders. None of the selling stockholders are affiliates of broker-dealers.


The shares of common stock being offered in this prospectus (including shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible promissory notes) were issued or may be issued in private placement transactions by us, each of which was exempt or will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. More specifically, the shares of common stock being offered in this prospectus were issued and may be issued upon the conversion of convertible promissory notes that were delivered in exchange for money lent to us. One series of notes converted into shares of our common stock at a rate of one share of common stock for each $.01 of principal upon the merger of Crystal Magic, Inc., Mountain Capital, LLC and Auleron 2005, LLC into wholly owned subsidiaries of ours and a second series of notes will convert into shares of our common stock at a rate of one share of common stock for each $.50 of principal at the closing of our anticipated PIPE Financing  or at at 25% discount to the PIPE price, whichever is less.  

Because the selling stockholders may offer all, some, or none of their shares of our common stock, we cannot provide a definitive estimate of the number of shares that the selling stockholders will hold after this offering.

Other than as indicated, none of the selling stockholders has at any time during the past three years acted as one of our employees, officers, or directors or otherwise had a material relationship with us.

For purposes of the following table, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a selling stockholder and the percentage ownership of that selling stockholder, shares of common stock issuable through the exercise of stock options or warrants that are exercisable currently or become exercisable within 60 days, and upon the conversion of promissory notes that are presently convertible or may be converted within 60 days. Each selling stockholder’s percentage of ownership in the following table is based on 9,908,952 shares of common stock outstanding as of September 29, 2008.  For certain of the selling shareholders, we have also assumed the conversion of the notes upon our anticipated PIPE Financing.

DILUTION


The common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing stockholders.


DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

There currently is no established trading market for our common stock. The fixed offering price of $.50 in this prospectus was arrived at by using  the planned conversion price of our most recently issued convertible promissory notes and  the overall valuation of our company.


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


The selling stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, donees, assignees, and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any 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.


We have agreed, subject to certain limits, to bear all costs, expenses, and fees of registration of the shares of our common stock offered by the selling stockholders for resale. However, any brokerage commissions, discounts, concessions, or other fees, if any, payable to broker-dealers in connection with any sale of shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholders selling those shares or by the purchasers of those shares.


On our being notified by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, or secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing the following:

·        the name of each such selling stockholder and of any participating broker-dealer

·        the number of securities involved

·        the price at which such securities were sold

·        the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to any broker-dealer, where applicable

·        that any broker-dealer did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus

·        other facts material to the transaction.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

·       directly as principals

·      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

·       short sales that are in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations of any state or the United States

·       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

·       any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law



53




The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.


Any sales of the shares may be effected through the OTC Bulletin Board if our shares become quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, in private transactions or otherwise, and the shares may be sold at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices.


The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls, and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades. The selling stockholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. We believe that the selling stockholders have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding sale of their shares other than ordinary course brokerage arrangements, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of shares by the selling stockholders.


Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling stockholders effect sales through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, such firms may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agent, principal or both in amounts to be negotiated. Those persons who act as broker-dealers or underwriters in connection with the sale of the shares may be selected by the selling stockholders and may have other business relationships with, and perform services for, us. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.


Any selling stockholder or broker-dealer who participates in the sale of the shares may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any commissions received by any underwriter or broker-dealer and any profit on any sale of the shares as principal may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.


The anti-manipulation provisions of Rules 101 through 104 of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act may apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. In addition, there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the common stock.


Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares may be sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be able to be sold unless our common stock has been registered or qualified for sale in that state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.


We are required to pay expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares under this offering. We estimate that our expenses will total approximately $50,000. We have agreed to indemnify certain selling stockholders and certain other persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments to which those selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest may be required to make in respect thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable.


DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES


Our Common Stock


Authorized and Outstanding


Our authorized capital consists of 75 million shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share and 10 million shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share. As of September 29, 2008, 9,908,952 shares of our common stock were outstanding.  No shares of our preferred stock are outstanding. We had 69 record holders of our common stock as of September 29, 2008. No shares of our common stock are currently eligible for sale under Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.



54




Voting Rights


Holders of our common stock have the right to cast one vote for each share of stock in their name on the books of our company, whether represented in person or by proxy, on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common stock, including election of directors. There is no right to cumulative voting in election of directors. Except where a greater requirement is provided by statute or by the articles of incorporation, or in the by-laws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the one or more holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote by the holders of a majority of outstanding shares is required to effect certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger, or amendment of our articles of incorporation.


Dividends


Our payment of dividends, if any, in the future rests within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. We have not paid any dividends since our inception and do not intend to any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but intend to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business. There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or by-laws that restrict us from declaring dividends. However, the Delaware General Corporation Law does prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend (1) we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business or (2) our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.


Preemptive Rights


Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and no redemption or sinking fund provisions are applicable to our common stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are, and the units of common stock sold in the offering will when issued be, fully paid and non-assessable.


Our Transfer Agent


We plan to retain a transfer agent in the near future.


Crystal Magic, Inc. Preferred Stock


The Certificate of Incorporation of Crystal Magic, Inc. authorizes 10,000 shares of Class A preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. All 10,000 shares were issued on March 11, 2008 to Steven M. Rhodes, our Chief Financial Officer. These shares of preferred stock were then returned to us on July 1, 2008 for $100 and promptly cancelled. In lieu thereof, Mr. Rhodes was granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Class A preferred stock for $100.The holder of the Class A preferred stock, if issued, will vote on all matters with the holders of the Crystal Magic, Inc. common stock on a one thousand votes per share basis. The shares of preferred stock rank equivalent with respect to liquidation to all classes of the Crystal Magic, Inc. common stock. The holder of the preferred stock will not be  entitled to participate in any dividends declared on Crystal Magic, Inc.’s common stock. It is a condition to the exercise of the option that: (i) Crystal Magic and Propell agree to execute an Administrative Services Agreement; (ii) Crystal Magic will continue to be managed by Propell consistent with its past practice; and (iii) no changes in the management of Crystal Magic, including, but not limited to, any changes in its director and executive officers or any material changes in its business operations, will be made without the advance written consent and approval of Propell.

No expert or counsel named in this registration statement as having prepared or certified any part of this statement or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or will receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in us. Nor was any such person connected with us as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee.


LEGAL MATTERS


The validity of our common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Lehman & Eilen LLP, Boca Raton, Florida.


INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law and our Certificate of Incorporation. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (1) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (2) his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.


This provision is intended to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. As a consequence of this provision, stockholders of our company will be unable to recover monetary damages against directors or officers for action taken by them that may constitute negligence or gross negligence in performance of their duties unless such conduct falls within one of the foregoing exceptions. The provision, however, does not alter the applicable standards governing a director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty and does not eliminate or limit the right of our company or any stockholder to obtain an injunction or any other type of non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of fiduciary duty.



56




We have also indemnified Steven M. Rhodes and Vicki L. Rhodes from and against any damages which they may incur as a result of a demand for payment made against them by the U.S. Small Business Administration or Liberty National Bank with respect to their guarantees on certain loans.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors

Propell Corporation

Greenbrae, California


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Propell Corporation (a development stage company) as of January 31, 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from January 29, 2008 (date of inception) to January 31, 2008.  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 audit.


We conducted our audit 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 . 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 audit 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 Company’s 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 audit provides 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 Propell Corporation as of January 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period from January 29, 2008 (date of inception) to January 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has limited working capital, has not yet received revenue from sales of products or services, and has incurred losses from operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 4. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Nature of Business

Propell 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.


Development Stage Company

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 ”Accounting and Reporting by Development-Stage Enterprises”.  A development-stage enterprise is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Propell considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At January 31, 2008 the Company had $100 of unrestricted cash to be used for future business operations.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Propell’s financial instruments consist of cash.


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.


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 Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Period from January 29, 2008 (Inception) to January 31, 2008


NOTE 2 – LOAN PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY


Propell received a loan in the amount of $100 at inception from Crystal Magic, Inc. which was used to open up its corporate bank account.  The loan is non-interest bearing, due on demand, and unsecured.  Crystal Magic, Inc. is controlled and managed by a person who is CFO and Chairman of the Board of Propell.


NOTE 3 – INCOME TAXES


For the period ended January 31, 2008, Propell has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability.  The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved.  The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is $2,500 at January 31, 2008, and will expire in the year 2028.


The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

Deferred tax asset attributable to:

 

 

     Net operating loss carryover

$

850 

     Valuation allowance

 

(850)

          Net deferred tax asset

$


NOTE 4 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

Propell has limited working capital and has not yet received revenues from sales of products or services.  These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of Propell to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations.  Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

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, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 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 Company’s 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.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 7. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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, 2007 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, 2007 and 2006 the Company recognized bad debt expense of $540 and $3,691 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, 2007 and 2006 was $36,375 and $17,945, 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.


Revenue and Cost Recognition


The Company recognizes revenues when products are delivered or shipped to customers.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


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 Company’s policy is to recognize compensated vacations when actually paid to employees.


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, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2007 and 2006 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


In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets" (SFAS 153). This Statement addresses the measurement of exchanges of nonmonetary assets and is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 153 has not had a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.


In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) revises FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of such awards (with limited exceptions).  SFAS 123(R) is effective as of the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005.  As of the balance sheet date, the Company did not have an option plan or any share based compensation arrangements with employees.  However, should the Company adopt such a plan in the future it will adopt SFAS 123(R), as of the time the option plan is adopted.


In March 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“FASB Statement No. 156”). FASB No. 156 amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. FASB No. 156 is effective for years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not believe FASB No. 156 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Recently Issued Accounting Standards (continued)


In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, also provides guidance on recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company plans on reviewing its tax situation to determine whether there are any uncertain tax positions


In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FASB No. 157”). FASB No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements.


The Company does not expect the adoption of other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors

Mountain Capital, LLC

D/B/A Arrow Media Solutions

Lake Placid, NY


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Mountain Capital, LLC d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions, a New York Limited Liability Company, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations and members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.  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 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 Company’s 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 Mountain Capital, LLC d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 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.

MOUNTAIN CAPITAL, LLC

d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006


1.     Organization and Description of Business


Mountain Capital, LLC d/b/a Arrow Media Solutions (“the Company”) 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, CD’s etc.  The Company’s, management, administrative, and service personnel are currently headquartered in Lake Placid, New York with its assembly, warehouse and marketing operations in Brea, California.


2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of trade receivables.  In the normal course of business, the Company provides on-going credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses.


The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.


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.


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 for book purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes over the ten year estimated useful lives of the assets.


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.  In the fourth quarter of 2006 the Company analyzed its expected cash flows related to its installed software license, and determined that the cash flows would not be sufficient to recover its investment in that assets, resulting in an impairment. The total amount impaired was $96,621 and was recorded in operating expenses.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a valid contract or purchase order has been executed or received, services have been performed or product has been delivered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

The preparation of financial statements is 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 those estimates.  Significant estimates include the cash flow projections used for the impairment tests, depreciation and amortization.


3.     Leases


On March 1, 2007 the company entered into a lease agreement to rent office and warehouse space in Brea, California.  The term is three years without any renewal options.  The lease expense for 2007 was $31,350.

14.     Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46R”) (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“ARB 51”), which address how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and according should consolidate the entity.  FIN 46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), which was issued in January 2003.  Before concluding that it is appropriate to apply ARB 51 voting interest consolidation model to an entity, an enterprise must first determine that the entity is not a variable interest entity (VIE).  As of the effective date of FIN 46R, an enterprise must evaluate its involvement with all entities or legal structures created before February 1, 2003, to determine whether consolidation requirements of FIN 46R apply to those entities.  There is no grand- fathering of existing entities.  Public companies must apply either FIN 46 or FIN 46R immediately to entities crated after January 31, 2003 and no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 14, 2004.  The adoption of FIN 46 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results or operations or cash flows. The Company does have a brother sister relationship with Auleron 2005, LLC which has common ownership control through the majority partners of this Company who also own a majority interest in Auleron 2005, LLC.  However, management has elected not to consolidate the two entities in this financial statement.


The Company does not expect the adoption of other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors

Auleron 2005, LLC

Lake Placid, NY


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Auleron 2005, LLC, a New York Corporation, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations and members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 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 Company’s 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 Auleron 2005, LLC, as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 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.

AULERON 2005, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006


1.     Organization and Description of Business


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 Lake Placid, NY.  The company’s sole office is in Lake Placid, NY.


2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of trade receivables.  In the normal course of business, the Company provides on-going credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses.


The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes all cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.


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 ten year estimated useful lives of the assets.


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

Revenue is recognized when a valid contract or purchase order has been executed or received, services have been performed or product has been delivered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue on Development Grants is recognized when earned, and is classified as deferred revenue prior to being earned.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements is 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 those estimates.  Significant estimates include the cash flow projections used for the impairment tests, depreciation and amortization.


3.     Leases


The Company entered into two separate lease agreements:


a)   On October 15, 2004 the Company entered into a lease agreement to rent office and warehouse space in Lake Placid, NY.  The initial term was for one and a half years and extended for an additional three year with no further renewal options – commencing on November 15, 2004 and scheduled to expire on May 14, 2009.  


b)   On October 1, 2005 the Company entered into a lease agreement to rent office space in Lake Placid, NY.  The initial term was for two years and had an extension option for an additional two years – commencing on October 1, 2005, and expiring on September 30, 2007.  On January 5 th , 2007, the Company sent a letter to the landlord informing of their intentions to not extend the lease, and was released of its obligation by the landlord effective May 31, 2007.


The combined lease expense for 2006 was $45,922; of which Auleron paid $16,698, and Mountain Capital paid $29,224.

12.     Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables and payables.  Management believes that the value of the Company has been reported fairly.  


13.     Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46R”) (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (“ARB 51”), which address how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and according should consolidate the entity.  FIN 46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), which was issued in January 2003.  Before concluding that it is appropriate to apply ARB 51 voting interest consolidation model to an entity, an enterprise must first determine that the entity is not a variable interest entity (VIE).  As of the effective date of FIN 46R, an enterprise must evaluate its involvement with all entities or legal structures created before February 1, 2003, to determine whether consolidation requirements of FIN 46R apply to those entities.  There is no grand- fathering of existing entities.  Public companies must apply either FIN 46 or FIN 46R immediately to entities crated after January 31, 2003 and no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 14, 2004.  The adoption of FIN 46 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results or operations or cash flows. The Company does have a brother sister relationship with Mountain Capital, LLC dba Arrow Media Solutions which has common ownership control through the majority partners of this Company who also own a majority interest in Mountain Capital, LLC dba Arrow Media Solutions.  However, management has elected not to consolidate the two entities in this financial statement.


The Company does not expect the adoption of other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

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. 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 (3), Disneyland (3), and Universal Orlando (2)).  Crystal Magic 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.  Former Crystal Magic, Inc. shareholders have voting control of Propell Corporation at June 30, 2008.


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, CD’s etc.  Mountain Capital’s management, administrative, and service personnel are currently headquartered in Lake Placid, New York 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 Lake Placid, New York.


For accounting purposes, Propell’s acquisition of Crystal Magic has been treated as a reverse acquisition, with Crystal Magic as the acquirer.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements include the activity of Crystal Magic for the period January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008 and the historical accumulated deficit of Crystal Magic.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Propell considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At June 30, 2008 the Company had $998,791 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 trade receivables.  In the normal course of business, the Company provides on-going credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses.


The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

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 ten year 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 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 Company’s policy is to recognize compensated vacations when actually paid to employees.


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 Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.


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.

On October 15, 2004 Auleron 2005, LLC entered into a lease agreement to rent office and warehouse space in Lake Placid, NY.  The initial term was for one and a half years and extended for an additional three year period with no further renewal options.

The combined lease expense through June 30, 2008 was $13,543; of which Auleron paid $0 and Mountain Capital paid $13,543.


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 lease expense for period ending June 30, 2008 was $14,606.

See Note 9.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (1) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (2) his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.


This provision is intended to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. As a consequence of this provision, stockholders of the Registrant will be unable to recover monetary damages against directors or officers for action taken by them that may constitute negligence or gross negligence in performance of their duties unless such conduct falls within one of the foregoing exceptions. The provision, however, does not alter the applicable standards governing a director’s or officer’s fiduciary duty and does not eliminate or limit the right of the Registrant  or any stockholder to obtain an injunction or any other type of non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of fiduciary duty.


Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


In March 2008, the Registrant issued $22,780 in convertible promissory notes to 43 noteholders. These promissory notes converted by their terms into 2,278,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock upon the merger acquisitions of Mountain Capital, LLC and Auleron 2005, LLC with wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant. . The offering and sale of the promissory notes and the shares of common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance by the Registrant  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



II-1




had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to, and received, share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted. This restriction ensured that these shares 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 the Registrant. Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Registrant has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.


In May 2008, the Registrant issued $1,730,000 in 3% non-recourse convertible promissory notes to 18 noteholders. These promissory notes automatically convert into shares of the Registrant’s  common stock at a rate of one share of common stock for each $.50 of principal, at the close of the Registrant’s anticipated PIPE (private investment in public equity) financing, or at a 25% discount to the PIPE price, whichever is less. The offering and sale of the promissory notes qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance by the Registrant 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, promissory notes bearing a legend stating that such notes are restricted. This restriction ensured that these promissory notes 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 the Registrant. Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Registrant has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.


On April 10, 2008, the Registrant issued 5,400,000 shares of our common stock to five individuals in exchange for securities upon the mergers of Crystal Magic, Inc., Mountain Capital, LLC and Auleron 20005, LLC with us. This offering and sale of shares of the Registrant’s common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance by the Registrant  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, share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted. This restriction ensured that these shares 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 the Registrant. Based on an analysis of the above factors, the Registrant has met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for this transaction.


On May 6, 2008, the Registrant issued 2,230,952 shares of our common stock to five individuals in exchange for securities upon the mergers of Mountain Capital, LLC and Auleron 2005, LLC with us. This offering and sale of shares of the Registrant’s common stock qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 since the issuance by the Registrant 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.

Item 17. Undertakings


The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:

(1)           File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post- effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i)            Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of 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 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) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) 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 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 Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

6.6 Exclusivity . The rights and remedies stated in this article constitute the exclusive rights and remedies of Propell in respect of the matters indemnified under these sections.

6.7 Party Claims . (a) An Indemnitee shall notify each Indemnitor in writing, and with reasonable promptness, of any claim (a “ Claim ”).

(b) In the notice delivered under this section, an Indemnitee shall include the following:



12



(1)        a description of any claim, or any event, or fact known to the Indemnitee that gives rise or may give rise to a claim, by the Indemnitee against an Indemnitor under this Agreement, including the nature and basis of the claim, event, or fact and the amount of any claim, to the extent known; and

(2)        the following statement:

The Indemnitee’s claim is conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnitor if the Indemnitor does not dispute its liability by written notice to the Indemnitee before the end of the 30-day period following delivery to the Indemnitor of the notice of this claim.

(c) It is a condition to an Indemnitor’s obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that the Indemnitee perform its obligations under these sections, but failure to satisfy that condition relieves an Indemnitor of its obligation to indemnify with respect to a Claim only to the extent that the Indemnitor actually has been prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to give notice as required.

(d) An Indemnitor has the right, by written notice, for a 30-day period, to dispute its liability to an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim. The 30-day period begins the day after delivery to the Indemnitor of the Indemnitee’s notice under these sections and ends at midnight at the end of the 30th day.

(e) If an Indemnitor timely disputes its liability to an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute.

(f) The Claim described in the notice is conclusively deemed a Loss of an Indemnitor if (1) the Indemnitee has provided the Indemnitor notice in accordance with these sections the Indemnitor does not dispute its liability as provided in these sections.

(g) If a Claim has been deemed a Loss in accordance with these sections, the Indemnitor shall pay the amount of the Loss to the Indemnitee (1) on demand or (2) on the later date when the amount of the Loss (or a portion of it) becomes finally determined if the Indemnitee estimated the amount of the Loss (or any portion of it) in its notice.

(h) In addition to making the payment under these sections, the Indemnitor shall make any other payments required by this article, including, without limitation, the payment of the Indemnitee’s Litigation Expenses.

6.8 Non-Party Claims . (a) If any Person other than a party to this Agreement brings any Proceeding against an Indemnitee (a “ Non-Party Claim ”) with respect to which an Indemnitor may have liability, the Indemnitee must promptly notify the Indemnitor in writing of the Non-Party Claim and deliver to the Indemnitor a copy of the claim, process, and all legal pleadings with respect to the Non-Party Claim. Receipt of this notice is a condition to the Indemnitor’s liability with respect to the Non-Party Claim.

(b) If an Indemnitor wishes to assume the defense of the Non-Party Claim, it must do so by sending notice of the assumption to the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor’s assumption of the defense acknowledges its obligation to indemnify. Promptly after sending the notice, the



13



Indemnitor shall choose and employ independent legal counsel of reputable standing. After sending the notice, the Indemnitor is entitled to contest, pay, settle or compromise the Non-Party Claim as it determines.

(c) An Indemnitee is entitled to participate in the defense of a Non-Party Claim and to defend a Non-Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing and without the participation of the Indemnitor if (1) the Indemnitor fails or refuses to defend the Non-Party Claim on or before the 60th day after the Indemnitee has given written notice to the Indemnitor of the Non-Party Claim or (2) representation of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee by the same counsel would, in the opinion of that counsel, constitute a conflict of interest.

(d) The Indemnitor shall pay for the Litigation Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee to and including the date the Indemnitor assumes the defense of the Non-Party Claim. Upon the Indemnitor’s assumption of the defense of the Non-Party Claim, the Indemnitor’s obligation ceases for any Litigation Expenses the Indemnitee subsequently incurs in connection with the defense of the Non-Party Claim, except that the Indemnitor is liable for the Indemnitee’s Litigation Expenses if (1) the Indemnitee has employed counsel the Indemnitor has authorized in writing the employment of counsel and stated in that authorization the dollar amount of Litigation Expenses for which the Indemnitor is obligated.

(e) If an Indemnitor assumes the defense of a Non-Party Claim, it may not effect any compromise or settlement of the Non-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee has no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of any Non-Party Claim effected without its consent, except that an Indemnitor may effect a compromise or settlement of any Non-Party Claim without an Indemnitee’s consent if the following three conditions are met: (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claim that may be made against the Indemnitee; (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitors; and (3) the compromise or settlement includes, as an unconditional term, the claimant’s or the plaintiff’s release of the Indemnitee, in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee, from all liability in respect of the Non-Party Claim.

The Indemnitee’s claim is conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnitor if the Indemnitor does not dispute its liability by written notice to the Indemnitee before the end of the 30-day period following delivery to the Indemnitor of the notice of this claim.

(c) It is a condition to an Indemnitor’s obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that the Indemnitee perform its obligations under sections 8.9(a) and 8.9 (b), but failure to satisfy that condition relieves an Indemnitor of its obligation to indemnify with respect to a Claim only to the extent that the Indemnitor actually has been prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to give notice as required.

Receipt of this notice is a condition to the Indemnitor’s liability with respect to the Non-Party Claim.

(b) If an Indemnitor wishes to assume the defense of the Non-Party Claim, it must do so by sending notice of the assumption to the Indemnitee.

(e) If an Indemnitor assumes the defense of a Non-Party Claim, it may not effect any compromise or settlement of the Non-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee, and the Indemnitee has no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of any Non-Party Claim effected without its consent, except that an Indemnitor may effect a compromise or settlement of any Non-Party Claim without an Indemnitee’s consent if the following three conditions are met: (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claim that may be made

Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-1


Gentlemen:


At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) to which this letter is attached as Exhibit 5.1 filed by Propell Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), that is intended to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), 5,088,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”).


We have examined originals or certified copies of such corporate records of the Company and other certificates and documents of officials of the Company, public officials and others as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this letter. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us as conformed and certified or reproduced copies.


Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that under Delaware law 1,628,000 of the Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and that 3,460,000 of the Shares will have been duly authorized and will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible promissory notes.


We consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the prospectus constituting a part thereof.



 

Very truly yours,
