NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2014
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying 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 financial statements not misleading have been included. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Pollex, Inc. annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
NOTE B – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred net losses of $350,993 and $226,282 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $140,244,827 at June 30, 2014. In order to fund future operations, the Company will need to raise capital through the equity markets and generate 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 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 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 – LICENSE AGREEMENTS
The Company began operating the online game, The Great Merchant, in open beta testing in January 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company generated revenues of $35,012 and $48,891, respectively, from this beta testing.
The Company has acquired license agreements for online games for use in South Korea. Each license also has a royalty fee which varies for each license. The licenses have terms of 2 to 3 years, beginning when they are launched commercially. Under the license agreements, the Company is required to pay the licensor 24%- 25% of gross sales.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company decided to no longer utilize its licenses in South Korea and to focus on the Great Merchant and other gaming opportunities in the US. As such, the license agreements were written off and an impairment of $70,000 was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2014. The licenses are comprised as follows:
| | June 30, | | | December 31, | | Estimated |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 | | Useful Life |
License agreements | | $ | - | | | $ | 122,500 | | 2-3 years |
Accumulated amortization | | | - | | | | (42,500 | ) | |
| | $ | - | | | $ | 80,000 | | |
Amortization expense was $10,000 and $16,458 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $85,000 and repaid $28,896.
NOTE F - INCOME TAXES
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had unused net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5,983,000 and $5,742,000, respectively, for income tax purposes, which expire between 2027 and 2034. The net operating loss carryforwards may result in future income tax benefits of approximately $2,034,000 and $1,952,000, respectively; however because realization is uncertain at this time, a valuation reserve in the same amount has been established. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, 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, under the name “Web Views Corporation”.
We are a majority owned subsidiary of Joytoto Co., Ltd. (“Joytoto Korea”). We are determined to focus our efforts on our Online Games business by acquiring new game licenses and making such games commercially available in South Korea and the United States.
Our operations are focused on Online Games. We have acquired licenses from various online game developers to use in South Korea. Our Online Games business segment has generated $35,012 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company entered into license agreements for 15 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. One of the games was launched commercially on July 14, 2012.
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company decided to no longer utilize its licenses in South Korea and to focus on the Great Merchant and other gaming opportunities in the United States. As such, the license agreements were written off and an impairment of $70,000 was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
The Company engaged a Korea-based service provider to support and maintain the online game and collect payments from customers. Under this agreement, the service provider is required to pay the Company 29% of gross sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company billed 29%, or $708. The remaining revenues were generated from the Company's online game, the Great Merchant, which has been in beta testing since 2010.
Revenues, Expenses and Loss from Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to three months ended June 30, 2013
Our revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization, total costs and expenses, and net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and for the three months ended June 30, 2013 are as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Introduction
Our primary assets are cash and the online game license agreements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our online games business segment generated $35,012 in total revenues while in its open beta testing and commercial service. We have 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 can generate enough revenue to sustain our operations.

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 our 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
As of June 30, 2014, the Company has entered into license agreements for 15 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. One of the games was launched commercially on July 14, 2012. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company decided to no longer utilize its licenses in South Korea and to focus on the Great Merchant and other gaming opportunities in the United States. As such, the license agreements were written off and an impairment of $70,000 was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
The Company engaged a Korea-based service provider to support and maintain the online game and collect payments from customers. Under this agreement, the service provider is required to pay the Company 29% of gross sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company billed 29%, or $708 and $41,055, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
