NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
September 30, 2011
NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Pollex, Inc. annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $241,633 and $19,102.330 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $138,602,846 at September 30, 2011. Management’s plans include raising capital through the equity markets to fund future operations and generating revenue through its license agreements. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE C- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On June 24, 2010, the Company dissolved its sub-subsidiary, JTI. The Company filed a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State of Nevada on June 24, 2010. JTI was mostly inactive during 2010. In relation to the dissolution, the Company assumed $365,871 in liabilities of JTI.
On August 11, 2010, the Company, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, JEI, entered into a stock purchase agreement with Joytoto Korea, effective as of June 30, 2010. JEI owns 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of JAI. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company and JEI sold 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of JAI to Joytoto Korea in consideration for the return and cancellation of 166,667 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Joytoto Korea.
On August 6, 2010, JEI was dissolved.
As a result of the above transactions, activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 has been reclassified to discontinued operations on the statements of operations and cash flows.

September 30, 2011
NOTE D – LICENSE AGREEMENTS
During 2010, the Company acquired license agreements for 16 online games for use in South Korea. These agreements called for a total of $120,500 in license fees, $30,000 in nonrefundable royalty prepayments on two of the licenses and a $5,000 non refundable deposit on one of the licenses. The Company paid $73,750 of these fees in 2010 and will pay the remaining fees of $71,750 when the games are launched commercially. Each license also has a royalty fee which varies for each license. Future royalties will be offset against the $30,000 prepayment. The licenses have terms of 2 to 3 years, beginning when they are launched commercially.
In 2011, the licensor terminated two of these agreements due to licensor’s inability to install and localize the game for the South Korean territory. These licenses were for $20,000, of which $10,000 was paid by the Company. The Company has determined that the possibility of realizing these license agreements or recovering those funds advanced is minimal due to the locality of the licensor in China As such, the Company has concluded that these licenses are impaired and has writen them off.
Also in 2011, the Company decided to dissolve two of the agreements due to differences in scheduling the launch dates. The Company did not pay any deposits to acquire licenses with these two games.
The Company began operating the online game The Great Merchant in open beta testing in January 2010. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company generated revenues of $48,803 and $44,496 from this beta testing.
NOTE E – LOANS PAYABLE
The loans payable consists of borrowings from two notes. The terms of the promissory notes are one year and bears interest at an annual rate of 6%. The notes may be repaid at any time prior to its due date without a prepayment penalty, however if any amount of the principal plus accrued interest remains unpaid after the notes due date then the annual rate of interest increases to 10% per annum.. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company received proceeds of $309,000 from these borrowings and repaid $51,969 of these borrowings.
NOTE F- DUE TO AFFILIATE AND DEBT CANCELLATION
On March 21, 2011, the Company, entered into a Conversion and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Joytoto Korea. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company issued 166,666 shares of its common stock, valued at $11,667 on the agreement date, to Joytoto Korea in consideration for the cancellation of $20,000 owed to Joytoto Korea by the Company. The Company recorded the $20,000 debt cancellation as a capital transaction.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company repaid $59,500 in amounts owed to Joytoto Korea.
NOTE G- EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
On March 21, 2011, the Company entered into three year employment agreements (the “Employment Agreements”) with each of Seong Yong Cho, its current President and Chief Executive Officer, and Seong Sam Cho, its current Chief Financial Officer, respectively.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
Overview
Pollex, Inc., formerly Joytoto USA, Inc., formerly BioStem, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” and “us”) was incorporated on November 2, 2001, in the State of Nevada, as Web Views Corporation.
We are a majority owned subsidiary of Joytoto Co., Ltd. (“Joytoto Korea”). We had one wholly-owned subsidiary, Joyon Entertainment, Inc. (“JEI”), and had two sub-subsidiaries, Joytoto Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“JTI”) and Joytoto America, Inc., a California corporation (“JAI”), both of which were wholly-owned subsidiaries of JEI. Effective June 30, 2010, we, along with JEI, sold 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of JAI to Joytoto Korea in exchange for the return and cancellation to us of 166,667 shares of our common stock held by Joytoto Korea. Effective August 6, 2010, JEI was dissolved. The Company is determined to focus on its Online Games business by acquiring new game licenses to provide commercial service of such games in South Korea and the United States.
Products and Services
Our operations are focused on Online Games. The Company has acquired licenses from various online game developers to use in South Korea. Our Online Games business segment has generated $48,803 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 while in its open beta testing.
Our major online game business is The Great Merchant. The online game is operating at its website http://www.thegreatmerchant.com. The website operated in open beta testing on January 2010. The game has opened for full commercial service on September 1, 2011. The Great Merchant is a free-to-play MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) PC game. Players can download the game for free from our website and interact with other players in the game to trade, fight, and explore the game world. The game is set in 14th century Asia with Korea, China, Taiwan, and Japan as the main explorable countries. As a free-to-play game, the Great Merchant offers micro-transactions through PayPal which players can purchase in game currency (GP) to further their character and purchase items to increase their character’s abilities and in game looks. Additional purchase methods such as credit cards and mobile phone payments will be added in the future.
Online Games
As of September 30, 2011, the Company acquired license agreements for 16 games for use in South Korea. These agreements allow the Company to release and service these games in South Korea. The Company opened one of these games in South Korea under open beta testing on March 16, 2011. Open Beta testing allows users and players to test the game while not implementing the full revenue generating service of the game. Three other titles that the Company has licensed are in closed beta testing and will be available for full commercial service within the 1st quarter of 2012. The rest of the games will be launched in consecutive succession soon afterward in each quarter following. For each of the game licenses, the Company was required to pay license fees of $120,500, ranging from $0 to $30,000 per game. For two games, the Company was required to prepay $30,000 in non-refundable deposits which can be used for future commission payments. For one game, the Company was required to make a $5,000 non-refundable deposit.
Licenses for two of the above- referenced games required the Company to pay $10,000 in non-refundable deposits. Licenses for four of the games referenced above, were terminated by the Company due to differences in scheduling the launch dates. In total, the Company has paid $73,750 of these amounts and is required to make additional payments of $71,750. When these games are commercially operating, the Company will be required to split the revenue with the licensors.
The Great Merchant is an economic based MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) online at http://www.thegreatmerchant.com. While the game is free to play and there is no cost for users to purchase and connect to the game, the game adequately engages the user to use micro transactions to purchase in-game points that can be used in the game to further the in-game operations of their own character. Unlike different MMORPGs on the market, the Great Merchant player can advance through the game by trading online items and virtual goods.

Depreciation is of computers and other office furniture and equipment. The Impairment of the license agreements relates to the cancellation of the game licenses discussed above. The loss from discontinued operations in the three months ended September 30, 2010 is the activity of JEI, JAI, and JTI, all of which were discontinued in 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
Our primary assets are cash and the online game license agreements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our online games business segment generated $48,803 in total revenues while in its open beta testing and commercial service. We have not begun to generate revenue from our other license agreements.
Our cash requirements have been relatively small up to this point, but we anticipate that our cash needs will increase dramatically. We anticipate satisfying these cash needs through the sale of our common stock until we not only begin to generate revenue, but until we can generate enough revenue to sustain our operations.

Sources and Uses of Cash
Operations
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had a net loss of $241,633 compared to $19,102,330 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This was offset by depreciation and amortization of $2,532, impairment on license agreements of $20,000, a decrease in receivables from affiliates of $1,963 and an increase in accrued expenses of $19,513, for total cash used in our operating activities of $197,625.
We had $1,977 invested in cash used in investment activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which relates to the purchase of property and equipment of $1,977.
We had $64,952 invested in cash used in investment activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, which relates to the purchase of property and equipment of $6,202 and the acquisition of license agreements of $58,750.
Financing
Our cash flows from financing activities totaled $197,531 from $309,000 in loan proceeds offset by $51,969 from repayment of our loan and $59,500 repaid to Joytoto Korea.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with its Board of Directors, we have identified the following accounting policies that we believe are key to an understanding of our financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
Valuation of License Agreements
In 2007, the Company acquired the following license agreements:
· | On February 23, 2007, JAI entered into a license agreement with Joytoto Korea, for one game, Pang Pang Terrible, for consideration of $400,000. The license is for the United States of America territory and is for a term of 3 years. |
· | On April 18, 2007, JAI entered into an exclusive North American Master License Agreement with Joytoto Korea and Joyon Korea. The license gives JAI the exclusive right to the use and commercialization of 4 game titles immediately, and the right to acquire no less than 20 additional game title licenses for no additional consideration. The term of the agreement is 10 years and allows for two 5 year extensions for additional consideration of $10,000. Upon execution of the Master License Agreement, JEI issued Joyon Korea 1,000,000 common shares as consideration. Prior to the acquisition of the Master License Agreement, JEI had an independent business valuation performed whereby the Company’s enterprise value was calculated to be $0.1799 per share. Accordingly, the shares issued for the license were valued at this amount. |
· | On June 11, 2007, JTI entered into an Exclusive Distributorship Agreement with Joytoto Korea. The agreement provides that JTI has the worldwide, exclusive right to distribute, market, promote and sell Joytoto Korea’s current and future model MP3 player devices. As consideration for the Exclusive Distributorship Agreement, JEI issued Joytoto Korea 1,000,000 common shares. Prior to the acquisition of the Exclusive Distributorship Agreement the Company had an independent business valuation performed whereby the Company’s enterprise value was calculated to be $0.3562 per share. Accordingly, the shares issued for the license agreement were valued at this amount. |
These license agreements were being amortized over their useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. The company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these intangible assets. In 2008 and 2009, these licenses were evaluated for impairment as follows:
· | At September 30, 2008, the Company reviewed its license agreements for impairment due to the deteriorating market for consumer goods in the US. At that time, the Company reviewed and adjusted its discounted cash flow projections. As a result of this assessment, the Company determined that the value of its license agreements was $5,000,000. As such, an impairment charge of $9,095,227 was recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the license agreements to this amount. |
· | The Company reviewed its license agreements for impairment again at December 31, 2009 and determined that the license agreements were completely impaired and should be reduced to zero. Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $4,227,975 in 2009. The Company reached this conclusion due to its inability to generate the revenues originally anticipated as well the difficulty in raising the necessary funds to develop and utilize the licenses due to the current difficult credit environment. |
During 2010, the Company acquired license agreements for 16 online games for use in South Korea. These agreements called for a total of $120,500 in license fees, $30,000 in nonrefundable royalty prepayments on two of the licenses and a $5,000 non-refundable deposit on one of the licenses. The Company paid $73,750 of these fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and will pay the remaining fees of $81,750 when the games are launched commercially. Each license also has a royalty fee which varies for each license. Future royalties will be offset against the $30,000 prepayment. The licenses have terms of 2 to 3 years, beginning when they are launched commercially.
In 2011, the licensor terminated two of these agreements due to licensor’s inability to install and localize the game for the South Korean territory. These licenses were for $20,000, of which $10,000 was paid by the Company. The Company has determined that the possibility of realizing these license agreements or recovering those funds advanced is minimal due to the locality of the licensor in China As such, the Company has concluded that these licenses are impaired and has written them off.
