NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
GEX Management, Inc. was originally formed in 2004 as Group Excellence Management, LLC. d/b/a MyEasyHQ. In March of 2016, it was converted from a limited liability company into a C corporation and changed its name to GEX Management, Inc.
GEX Management initially began operations as a Professional Services Company providing back office support to third-party clients. In 2016 GEX Management revised its business model to provide staffing and back-office services to a wide variety of industries in order to expand the Company’s footprint, thereby building on the previous 12-year history of exceptional client service. Over the next few years, GEX Management experienced tremendous growth in sales and customer pipeline - staffing business grew by over 1600%+ from 2016 to 2017 with the firm being named among the “fastest growing public companies in the North Texas region” by the Dallas Morning News, while also significantly expanding its client footprints across multiple staffing, business consulting and PEO opportunities.
In 2019, the management of GEX under the leadership of Sri Vanamali set strategic goals to revise the business model to expand into areas of higher margin and growth particularly in the area of Technology and Strategy Consulting Services. In Q4 2019, GEX signed a contract with one of the fastest growing, VC backed social video platform to provide key corporate and strategy consulting services – an initiative that the CEO was personally involved with in developing and growing the strategic business relationship over two years. This contract resulted in enormous growth opportunities for GEX and significantly expanded growth in future periods as well. GEX signed additional contracts to provide interim “CFO” and “CEO” consulting services to various high growth public and private companies, resulting in doubling of sales within a year and achieving an astounding double digit expansion in gross margins despite the pandemic related recessionary business environment. Furthermore, GEX has been in talks with multiple companies to identify synergistic acquisition opportunities to fuel organic and inorganic growth and fulfil the corporate objective of becoming a top tier business and technology focused firm while also developing a long term and sustainable technology centric business model. Management expects these growth initiatives to help the firm eventually achieve strong and stable revenue growth while also achieving sustainable long-term profitability by targeting a higher margin, lower cost model and relying on less expensive debt instruments to help reduce the burden across the firm’s capital structure.
Beginning 2020. under Sri Vanamali’s executive leadership, GEX Management has built its core competency to provide value creation services as a key operating partner to private equity firms and strategic operators by focusing on several key areas:
| ● | Industry Expertise: GEX Management has developed deep expertise in several industries, including technology, healthcare, niche manufacturing, industrials energy, and more. This expertise enables the company to understand the unique challenges and opportunities facing businesses in these industries, and to provide tailored solutions that drive value creation. | |
| ● | Data-Driven Approach: GEX Management uses AI based data-driven analysis to identify opportunities for value creation in its clients’ businesses. This includes analyzing financial and operational data to identify areas for improvement, and developing strategies to drive growth and profitability. | |
| ● | Operational Expertise: GEX Management has a team of experienced consultants with a strong background in operational management. This expertise enables the company to provide practical solutions that address operational inefficiencies and improve overall performance. | |
| ● | Network of Strategic Partners: GEX Management has developed a network of strategic partners, including technology vendors, service providers, and other consulting firms. This network enables the company to provide comprehensive solutions to its clients, leveraging the expertise of its partners as needed. | |
| ● | Culture of Innovation: GEX Management fosters a culture of innovation, encouraging its consultants to think creatively and develop new solutions to meet its clients’ needs. This approach enables the company to stay ahead of industry trends and provide cutting-edge solutions to its clients. |
The strategic roadmap for GEX Management in providing value creation services as a key operating partner to PE firms in 2023 involves expanding its industry expertise and developing new partnerships to support its growth. The company plans to deepen its expertise in key sectors such as healthcare and technology, while also expanding into new sectors such as retail, industrials and consumer goods. Additionally, GEX Management plans to develop new partnerships with technology vendors and other service providers to offer its clients a broader range of solutions. Through these initiatives, GEX Management aims to continue providing exceptional value creation services to its clients and maintaining its position as a leading management consulting firm.
Under Mr. Vanamali’s stewardship, Phase 1 of the GEX strategic roadmap implemented in Q1 2019 involved building out the Management Consulting business model, while Phase II beginning in Q2 2020 involved accelerating the GEX MSP partnership model to expand our enterprise corporate client base. In Q1 2023, Mr. Vanamali announced Phase III of GEX Management’s strategic roadmap, which involved building out a proprietary AI-powered technology platform and product base to complement its full spectrum of strategy consulting and enterprise consulting business suite offerings. This initiative represents a significant investment for the company and is designed to enhance its ability to provide value creation services to strategics and private equity clients in several key ways:
Improved Data Analytics: The AI-powered platform will enable GEX Management to leverage advanced data analytics to identify opportunities for value creation in its clients’ businesses. The platform will use machine learning algorithms to analyze large data sets and identify patterns and trends that are not easily detectable through traditional data analysis methods.
| 8 |
Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The platform will also enable GEX Management to automate many of its operational processes, allowing the company to provide faster and more efficient service to its clients. This will include automating data collection and analysis, as well as streamlining project management and communication with clients.
Customized Solutions: The platform will allow GEX Management to provide customized solutions to its clients based on their specific needs and challenges. The platform will be designed to adapt to each client’s unique business environment, providing tailored recommendations that are specifically designed to drive value creation.
Competitive Advantage: The AI-powered platform will provide GEX Management with a significant competitive advantage over other consulting firms. By leveraging advanced data analytics and automation, the company will be able to provide faster and more accurate solutions to its clients, enabling it to differentiate itself in the highly competitive consulting market.
GEX Management’s Phase 3 initiative is considered a hypergrowth strategy because it is designed to leverage technology and innovation to drive rapid expansion and growth for the company. By building a proprietary AI-powered platform, the company is positioning itself to capture a larger share of the consulting market and establish itself as a leader in the industry.
There are several key factors that are expected to contribute to the hypergrowth potential of this initiative:
| ● | Scalability: The AI-powered platform will enable GEX Management to scale its operations more efficiently and effectively. By automating many of its operational processes and leveraging advanced data analytics, the company will be able to handle a larger volume of clients and projects without significantly increasing its staffing levels. | |
| ● | Competitive Advantage: The AI-powered platform will provide GEX Management with a significant competitive advantage over other consulting firms. This will enable the company to attract new clients and expand its business more quickly than its competitors. | |
| ● | Market Demand: There is a strong market demand for AI-powered solutions in the consulting industry. By developing a proprietary platform that leverages advanced AI and data analytics, GEX Management is positioning itself to capitalize on this demand and capture a larger share of the market. | |
| ● | Value Proposition: The AI-powered platform will enable GEX Management to provide more efficient, customized, and accurate solutions to its clients. This will enhance the company’s value proposition and position it as a leader in the industry, driving further growth and expansion. |
The development of an AI-powered technology platform is a key component of GEX Management’s value proposition to strategic and private equity clients. The platform will enable the company to provide more efficient, customized, and accurate solutions to its clients, helping them to achieve their strategic goals and drive value creation. Additionally, the platform will help GEX Management to differentiate itself in the highly competitive consulting market, positioning the company as a leader in the industry and a valuable partner to private equity firms seeking to maximize their returns on investment.
Under Sri Vanamali’s executive leadership, GEX Management was invited in February 2019 to be a Preferred Supplier to Insight Global, one of the world’s largest Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to Fortune 100 Companies in the Enterprise Technology Consulting space. The first consultant that GEX hired through this Preferred Supplier initiative was successfully placed at a large PA based financial services firm to provide Business and Quality Analysis professional services to the client. Subsequently, GEX placed its second enterprise consultant at the world’s leading Fortune 100 CRM Company at its headquarters in San Francisco and subsequently several more highly skilled Enterprise Technology Consultants at leading Fortune 500 retail, healthcare, manufacturing and technology clients across the country.
Subsequently, GEX Management has achieved significant growth by expanding its client base through partnerships with top-tier technology MSPs such as Robert Half, Insight Global, TekFortune, and Aegean. These partnerships have allowed GEX to offer its consulting services to a wide range of clients, including some of the biggest names in various industries.
| 9 |
The end clients for whom GEX consultants provide services include leading companies such as Salesforce, Anthem, Walmart, United Airlines, Disney, Marriott, Paramount, Morgan Stanley, and Carlyle Group, among others. This diverse client base has provided GEX with the opportunity to work with clients across a wide range of industries, allowing the company to gain valuable experience and knowledge that it can leverage to provide high-quality services to its clients. Through its strong relationships with its MSP partners and its focus on providing exceptional service to its clients, GEX has been able to expand its client base and increase its revenue significantly. The company has also been able to leverage its expertise and experience to develop new service offerings and expand into new markets, further driving its growth and success. Moving forward, GEX plans to continue building on its success by expanding its partnerships with leading MSPs and identifying new opportunities to serve its clients’ needs. The company will also continue to invest in its technology platform and product base to ensure it can provide the most innovative and effective solutions to its clients.
As a direct result of the high market demand for experienced technology consultants via its multiple supplier programs, the GEX team has interviewed and has acquired over 30 highly experienced enterprise technology consultants with expertise across a wide array of functions (Enterprise Architects, Project Managers, Systems Integration Developers, Quality Assurance Specialists and Business Systems Analysts) who have been identified for various short to long term projects. Additionally, GEX plans to hire and place a large pool of enterprise consultants over the next 18 - 24 month period to satisfy its growing pipeline of future contracts.
In addition to these planned strategic growth initiatives across both strategy and technology consulting, , management has been focusing on materially improving its balance sheet by significantly reducing or eliminating the debt or debt like instruments related to convertible notes and asset related liens introduced in 2018 while simultaneously exploring opportunities to reduce or eliminate the high interest MCA related toxic debt instruments that resulted in significant interest expenses to the company and a burden to operating capital. Under the balance sheet clean up initiative, GEX Management has focused on reducing its liabilities and improving its financial health. The company has taken several actions to achieve this, including:
| ● | Debt restructuring: GEX Management has restructured its debt to reduce the amount of outstanding debt and lower the interest rate, resulting in lower interest expense and improved cash flow. | |
| ● | Expense reduction: The company has implemented cost-cutting measures to reduce expenses and improve profitability, such as renegotiating contracts and reducing non-essential expenses. | |
| ● | Asset divestiture: GEX Management has sold non-core assets to generate cash and reduce debt. | |
| ● | Improved collections: The company has improved its collections process to ensure timely payment of receivables and reduce outstanding balances. |
As
a result of these actions, GEX Management has been able to significantly reduce its liabilities from $
This focus on balance sheet cleanup and to stay significantly “asset-lite” is expected to achieve material results by Q2 2023, at which point GEX would be primed for its next phase of strategic growth initiatives by deploying equity and non-toxic debt instruments towards organic and inorganic opportunities. Finally, management believes that the material elimination of MCA and related debt like instruments will be a critical first step prior to rebuilding a robust revenue pipeline as this will require strong working capital and favorable leverage covenants to sustain operations in the long term as well as reduce liabilities related to attachment to future receivables. While management efforts to settle these instruments are aggressively underway, the inability or failure by the firm to completely address any toxic debt instruments could result in management pursuing a restructuring program or similar initiatives to bring the balance sheet within reasonable covenant parameters to allow the firm to continue operating efficiently in the coming years without exposing future customers to significant business risks associated with these toxic instruments. As part of this long term strategy, management has already begin putting processes in place to protect the company via a robust internal restructuring program and will be announcing the outcome of these intra-company restructuring efforts that will protect the interests of investors and shareholders alike over the long term and also streamline the corporate structure to be synergistic with the management’s long term vision for the company.

Material Definitive Agreements
No Material Agreements have been executed by the Company during this reporting period.
Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), as well as the applicable regulations and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and their accompanying notes. The actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GEX Management, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies that have a material impact on our financial statements and accompanying notes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of accrued services and consulting receivables due from customers and are unsecured. The receivables are generally due within 30 to 45 days after the date of the invoice. Accounts receivable is carried at their face amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. GEX’s policy is not to charge interest on receivables after the invoice becomes past due. Write-offs are recorded at the time when a customer receivable is deemed uncollectible.
Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company records an impairment of long-lived assets used in operations, other than goodwill, and its equity method investments when events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets over their remaining lives are less than the carrying amount of those items. The net carrying value of assets not recoverable is reduced to fair value, which is typically calculated using the discounted cash flow method.
| 11 |
Revenue Recognition
Management Consulting Services
GEX Management recognizes revenue for its management consulting services in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Revenue is recognized when control of the services is transferred to the client and the consideration for the services is expected to be collected. Control is transferred when the client is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits from the services provided.
The revenue recognized is based on the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration that GEX expects to be entitled to in exchange for providing the services. The transaction price is determined based on the estimated costs to complete the project, as well as the estimated profit margin on the project.
GEX Management typically enters into contracts with clients that specify the scope of services to be provided, the time period for which the services will be provided, and the fees for the services. Revenue is recognized over the period during which the services are provided, generally on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.
If there are any changes to the scope of the services or the fees for the services, GEX Management will assess whether these changes constitute a modification of the original contract. If a modification is deemed to exist, GEX will reassess the transaction price and adjust the revenue recognized accordingly.
GEX Management also considers any variable consideration, such as performance bonuses or penalties, when recognizing revenue. If the amount of variable consideration cannot be estimated reliably, it will be excluded from the transaction price until it can be reliably estimated.
In summary, GEX Management recognizes revenue for its management consulting services in accordance with ASC 606, based on the transfer of control of services to the client and the expected consideration to be collected. Revenue is recognized over the period during which the services are provided and is adjusted for any changes in scope or fees.
All employees are completely vetted by the company to ensure their employment terms are in adherence to all applicable state. federal and immigration laws. Additionally, GEX Management carries professional liability and fidelity/crime insurance to protect against risks involving working at third party client locations that require the workers to handle sensitive client data and equipment.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes payable. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair value of financial instruments is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company’s credit worthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters.
Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the period income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to common share-holders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For purposes of this calculation, common stock dividends, warrants and options to acquire common stock, would be considered common stock equivalents in periods in which they have a dilutive effect and are excluded from this calculation in periods in which these are anti-dilutive to the net loss per share.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications have had no effect on the financial position of the Company.
Note 2. Going Concern
To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily through public and private offerings of common stock, our line of credit, short- term discounted and convertible notes payable. The Company has identified several potential financing sources in order to raise the capital necessary to fund operations.
In addition to the aforementioned current sources of capital that will provide additional short-term liquidity, the Company is currently exploring various other alternatives including debt and equity financing vehicles, strategic partnerships, government programs that may be available to the Company, as well as trying to generate additional sales and increase margins. However, at this time the Company has no commitments to obtain any additional funds, and there can be no assurance such funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding and improve its operations, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected and the Company may not be able to continue operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, even if the Company raises sufficient capital through additional equity or debt financing, strategic alternatives or otherwise, there can be no assurances that the revenue or capital infusion will be sufficient to enable it to develop its business to a level where it will be profitable or generate positive cash flow. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted, and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If the Company incurs additional debt, a substantial portion of its operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for business activities. The terms of any debt securities issued could also impose significant restrictions on the Company’s operations. Broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance, and may adversely impact our ability to raise additional funds. Similarly, if the Company’s common stock is delisted from the public exchange markets, it may limit its ability to raise additional funds.
The
consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and three months ended March 31, 2023 were prepared on
the basis of a going concern which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal
course of business. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be required to liquidate
its assets. The ability of the Company to meet its total liabilities of
In addition, at this time we cannot predict the impact of COVID-19 on our ability to obtain financing necessary for the Company to fund its working capital requirements. Also, it may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur, such as monetary damages, fines, penalties, or injunctions prohibiting the Company from selling one or more products or engaging in other activities.

Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $527,615 compared to $518,861 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase in year over year sales is attributable to a significant expansion in client footprints, aggressive business development efforts and a focus on higher end management and technology consulting business expansion and growth opportunities under the guidance of the CEO, Sri Vanamali.
Operating Expense
Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $153,854 compared to the operating cost for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $471,375. The lower expenses for this period are due to operational efficiencies and less administrative costs during the current period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has identified several potential financing sources in order to raise the capital necessary to fund operations through December 31, 2023. Management had in the past taken short term working capital loans against future receivables in order to timely fund the growth of the company. Management has eliminated this past practice and currently relies on other traditional and non-traditional debt instruments primarily in the form of convertible notes as well as is exploring various other alternatives including debt and equity financing vehicles, strategic partnerships, government programs that may be available to the Company, as well as trying to generate additional sales and increase margins. However, at this time the Company has no commitments to obtain any additional funds, and there can be no assurance such funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected and the Company may not be able to continue operations.
Additionally, even if the Company raises sufficient capital through additional equity or debt financing, strategic alternatives or otherwise, there can be no assurances that the revenue or capital infusion will be sufficient to enable it to develop its business to a level where it will be profitable or generate positive cash flow. If the Company incurs additional debt, a substantial portion of its operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for business activities. The terms of any debt securities issued could also impose significant restrictions on the Company’s operations. Broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance, and may adversely impact our ability to raise additional funds. Similarly, if the Company’s common stock is delisted from the public exchange markets, it may limit its ability to raise additional funds.
In addition, at this time we cannot predict the impact of COVID-19 on our ability to obtain financing necessary for the Company to fund its working capital requirements.
