FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
report includes forward-looking statements as the term is defined
in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or by the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in its rules, regulations
and releases, regarding, among other things, all statements other
than statements of historical facts contained in this report,
including statements regarding our future financial position,
business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future
operations. The words “believe,” “may,”
“estimate,” “continue,”
“anticipate,” “intend,”
“should,” “plan,” “could,”
“target,” “potential,” “is
likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar
expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking
statements largely on our current expectations and projections
about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect
our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy
and financial needs. In addition, our past results of
operations do not necessarily indicate our future
results.
Other
sections of this report may include additional factors which could
adversely affect our business and financial performance. New risk
factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to
anticipate all the relevant risks to our business, and we cannot
assess the impact of all such risks on our business or the extent
to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements. Those factors include, among others,
those matters disclosed in this Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Except
as otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations, we
undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements or the risk factors described in this
report, whether as a result of new information, future events,
changed circumstances or any other reason after the date of this
report. Neither the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 nor Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 provides any
protection to us for statements made in this report. You should not
rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future
events or performance. We cannot assure you that the events and
circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be
achieved or occur. 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.

Unless
the context otherwise requires, throughout this Annual Report on
form 10-K the words “GEX,” “GEX
Management,” “the Company,” “we,”
“us,” and “our,” refer to GEX Management,
Inc.
History and Development 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 corporation
and changed its name to GEX Management, Inc. in April of
2016.
Carl Dorvil founded a company called Group Excellence, LLC out of
his dorm room at Southern Methodist University in 2004. Group
Excellence provided tutoring and mentoring to students with the
goal of inspiring kids to achieve excellence. The company quickly
grew to more than six hundred employees. Through this rapid growth,
midway through 2004, Mr. Dorvil realized that he had two businesses
on his hands. One was the tutoring and mentoring business, and the
other was the back-office business that was handling the day-to-day
operations of his company. This back-office business provided Group
Excellence, LLC with human resources, IT, accounting/bookkeeping,
social media, payroll, and conducted a majority of the overall
operations of the company and became GEX Management. Mr. Dorvil
sold his tutoring business, Group Excellence, LLC, in 2011
but
continued to own and
operate GEX Management, which continued as a Professional Services
Company that provided back office support to the tutoring company,
as well as third-parties that needed these services. In 2016 GEX
restructured its business model in order to provide staffing and
back office services in order to expand the Company’s
offerings, and to provide the same quality of support that it has
for the last twelve years to its clients.
Business Operations

complete solutions for our customer’s back office and
administration needs. These services include: digital marketing and

Business Strategy
Our objective is to become a leading back office and general
business consulting company, and continuously grow our client base.
We plan to achieve this objective by continuing to implement our
business strategy, which includes the primary elements we discuss
below.
Marketing and Sales
Our marketing efforts target small and mid-sized businesses that
have the need for the types of services that we provide, but cannot
afford full time employees to handle those services. One of our
fastest growing customer segments is the marketing and consultancy
businesses. The Company began focusing on these industries in its
third and fourth quarters because of the need for cost effective
staffing and back office solutions due to the cyclical nature of
those industries. In the past we have generated a significant
amount of our revenues through client referrals and our
management’s personal relationships. We plan to continue to
grow through these relationships and reach a wider audience through
social media advertising and marketing channels to accelerate
client and sales growth.
Dependence on Major Customers
We rely heavily on the service contract renewals of our clients.
Our management is responsible for developing and maintaining
successful long-term relationships with key clients. In 2015 and
2016 we had 4 to 5 main customers that made up approximately 80% of
our revenues.
5
Our Qualifications
Our qualifications include our reputation as a Professional
Services Company with specific experience in the back office
services general business consulting since 2004.
Industry and Competitors
The back office and employee/employer administration industry,
including the Professional Employer Organizations (PEO) and
Administrative Services Organizations (ASO), is highly fragmented,
resulting in intense competition. Competition affects our ability
to succeed in both the market segments we currently serve and new
market segments that we may enter in the future. We compete with
several large back office and administration companies, as well as
PEOs and ASOs that provide the same services we provide, but also
provide additional services. These companies may have greater
financial, marketing, and other resources than we do. Competition
in our industry is based primarily on quality of service to the
customer, price, and new and improved innovative services
offerings.
Environmental Concerns
As a Professional Service Company, federal, state or local laws
that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment do
not materially impact us.
Number of Employees
We have a total of
17
employees.
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the
information required by this item.
None.
GEX's corporate offices are located at 12001 N. Central Expressway
Suite 825, Dallas, Texas. GEX entered into a lease
agreement on September 28th 2016 on this property for a term of 38
months.
GEX is not subject to any pending legal proceedings, nor is the
Company aware of any material threatened claims against
it.
Not applicable.
6
The GEX Common Stock is not currently traded on an
exchange.
Shareholders
As of December 31, 2016, there were approximately 36 record holders
of the Common Stock.
Dividends
GEX has not paid cash dividends on any class of common equity since
its formation.
Use of Proceeds
The Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A
(Commission File No. 333-213470) was declared effective by the SEC
on November 14, 2016. We registered a total of 1,000,000
shares of our $0.001 par value common stock for offer and sale by
the Company at a price per share of $1.50 (the
“Offering”).
The
Offering has terminated as of March 28, 2017, after sales of
429,074 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of
$643,611. Approximately $13,330 of the proceeds were used to pay
legal, accounting, printing and other offering expenses. All
other proceeds raised in the Offering were used, andare intended to
be used, for general corporate overhead, additional staffing,
marketing/advertising and salaries.
As a smaller reporting company we are not required to report
selected financial data disclosures as required by item 301 of
Regulation S-K.
Our Business
GEX Management is a Staffing and Professional Services Company that
offers progressive and complete solutions that are unique to our
specific customers back office and administration needs.
These services include: digital marketing and sales, IT
support and consultation, accounting and bookkeeping, human
resources, general business consulting, staffing and software and
medical billing services.
Our Strategy
GEX works continuously to expand its service offerings to its
clients in order to help them achieve their personal business
goals. GEX’s unique approach that allows customized service
options for its clients, and its wide array of services that are
offered allows GEX to differentiate itself from other back office
and administrative companies. GEX also prides itself on constant
client interaction to ensure that GEX is providing not only the
best support, but the right support to help clients achieve their
individual goals. Clients typically will sign a three month service
agreement with the Company, and the contract automatically renews
until terminated with a 30 day notice by either party.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s financial statements were prepared in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles. As such, management is required to make
certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that they believe are
reasonable based upon the information available. These
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of income and expense during the periods
presented.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company accounts for its Staffing Solutions revenues in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-45,
Revenue Recognition for Principal
Agent Considerations
. The Company’s gross billings to
clients include the payroll cost of each employee and a markup
computed as a percentage of each worksite employee’s payroll
cost. The Company invoices the gross billings concurrently with
each periodic payroll of our worksite employees. The aforementioned
markup includes pricing components associated with the
Company’s estimates of payroll taxes, benefits and
workers’ compensation costs, plus a separate component
related to the Company’s services.
7
The
Company accounts for Back Office Solutions revenue arrangements
that contain multiple deliverables in accordance with ASC 605-25,
Revenue Recognition
for Arrangements with Multiple
Elements
, which addresses the determination of whether an
arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one
unit of accounting. A delivered item within an arrangement is
considered a separate unit of accounting only if both of the
following criteria are met:
●
the
delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
and
●
if the
arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the
delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is
considered probable and substantially in control of the
vendor.
Under
FASB ASC Topic 605-25, if both of the criteria above are not met,
then separate accounting for the individual deliverables is not
appropriate. Revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple
deliverables constituting a single unit of accounting is recognized
generally over the greater of the term of the arrangement or the
expected period of performance. To date, all revenues are
recognized after the services are performed, collectability is
reasonably assured and the customer is invoiced.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared
to the Year Ended December 31, 2015
Revenues
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 and year ended
December 31, 2015 were $508,221 and $907,728, respectively. Of that
amount, related party revenues were $305,885 and $563,837 for the
years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively. The
decrease is
due to the focusing on our recent S-1 offering and focusing on
marketing to acquire new clients that are not related parties which
we believe we will see the benefits in 2017. Over the same time we
reduced our reliance on related party revenues.
Cost of Services and Gross Profit
The Company’s gross margin was 24% in 2016 compared to 56% in
2015. The decrease was due to the type of contracts the Company had
during the respective years.
This is reflective in
the decline in sales as well
.
Operating Expense
Total operating expenses in the years ended December 31, 2016 and
2015 were $382,097 and $347,946 respectively. The increase
reflected certain costs incurred to prepare and file our S-1
offering and other occupancy and administrative costs to position
our back-office business for additional clients. Depreciation
was a minor expense and increased from $48 to $577 from the year
ended December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016.
8
Other income and expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and
2015 was made up of interest income and interest expense. Interest
income was $72 and $48 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and
2015 respectively. Interest expense, which related solely to the
interest on our notes payable, was $39,809 and $25,635 for the
years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively.
Net (Loss) Income
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $298,839 and a
net profit for the year ended December 31, 2015 was
$137,796.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has sufficient cash reserves and liquidity to operate
for the next twelve months.
Cash increased by $304,558 from $2,837 at December 31, 2015 to
$307,395 at December 31, 2016. The increase was due to the
funds we raised in the Company’s S-1 offering, and net loan
proceeds [loan proceeds over loan paybacks] of $179,887. The
Company raised an additional $282,089 in cash from the offering
since December 31, 2016.
Net cash used by operating activities was $236,852 for the year
ended December 31, 2016, compared to net cash used by operating
activities of $186,737 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The increase was due to the decrease in sales and the
resulting operating loss.
Net
cash used in investing activities for fixed assets was $0 and
$1,731 in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
respectively.
Net
cash from financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2016
came from two sources (a) advances on related party notes payable
of $268,527 and (b) sale of common stock of $361,523 in our S-1
offering. The Company also used cash for financing activities to
repay related party notes payable of $13,196 and repayment of
$75,444 on a working capital loan.
Net
cash from financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2015
came from two sources (a) advances on related party notes payable
of $466,513 and (b) proceeds from a working capital loan of
$100,000. The Company also used cash for financing activities to
repay related party notes payable of $358,657 and repayment of
$24,556 on the working capital loan.
Liquidity
On December 5, 2016, the Company reached its minimum of $300,000 of
its public offering, and the Company has raised a total of
$301,500. The Company has determined that the receipt of these
funds will support the Company’s operations through the year
ended 2018. Furthermore, the Company has until March 31, 2017
to raise a maximum of $1,500,000 in its offering. The Company
also procured a Letter of Credit in the amount of $85,000 further
increasing its capital resources.
Accounts Receivable, Bad Debt Expense and Allowance for
Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivables are considered past due if payments have not been
received within agreed upon invoice terms. Write offs are recorded
at a time when a customer receivable is deemed uncollectible. GEX
had $29,918 and $63,043 bad debt expense during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and had $41,651 and
$11,733 allowance for bad debts at December 31, 2016 and 2015
respectively.
Not applicable.

Incorporated into and forming an integral part of this Form 10-K
are the audited financial statements for the Company for the years
ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The financial statements as of
December 31, 2016 and 2015, of the Company included in this Form
10-K have been audited by Heaton & Company, PLLC, independent
registered public accountants, as set forth in their report. The
financial statements have been included in reliance upon the
authority of them as experts in accounting and
auditing.
None.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31
2016. This evaluation was accomplished under the
supervision and with the participation of our chief executive
officer / principal executive officer, and chief financial officer
/ principal financial officer who concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that all
material information required to be filed in the annual report on
Form 10-K has been made known to them.
For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and
procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seg.) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the
Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure, controls
and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by in
our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's
management, including its principal executive and principal
financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America. Our internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i)
pertain to the maintenance records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, and that
receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in
accordance with authorizations of management of the Company; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements. Because of inherent limitations, a system of
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of
compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
10
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set
forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework (2013) at December 31, 2016. Based on its
evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2016,
our internal control over financial reporting was not effective
because of: 1) Our reliance upon independent financial reporting
consultants for review of critical accounting areas and disclosures
and material non-standard transaction; and 2) a lack of sufficient
accounting staff which results in a lack
of
segregation of duties necessary for a good system of internal
control. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over
financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a
timely basis.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the
Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding
internal control over financial reporting. Management’s
report was not subject to the attestation by the Company’s
registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC
that permit the Company to provide only management’s report
in this annual report.
None.
The Company has a code of business conduct and ethics that applies
to all of its employees, officers and directors. The code of
business conduct and ethics is available on our website at
www.gexmanagement.com and we will post any amendments to, or
waivers from, the code of ethics on that website.
The following table lists the names and ages of the executive
officers, directors and key consultants of the Company. The

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers
and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten
percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership
and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive
officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners
are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file. We believe that as of the date of
this report they were all current in their 16(a)
reports.
Board of Directors
Our board of directors currently consists of three members. Our
directors serve one-year terms. Our board of directors has
affirmatively determined that there are currently no independent
directors serving on our board.
12
Committees of the Board of Directors
Audit Committee
We do not have a standing audit committee of the Board of
Directors. Management has determined not to establish an audit
committee at present because of our limited resources and limited
operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit
committee or the expense of doing so. We do not have a
financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as
an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of
obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a
financial expert under Item 401(e) of Regulation S is beyond its
limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an
expert are simply not required or necessary for us to maintain
effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting
in light of the limited scope and simplicity of accounting
issues raised in its financial statements at this stage of its
development.
Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee
We do not have a standing governance, compensation and nominating
committee of the Board of Directors. Management has determined not
to establish governance, compensation and nominating committee at
present because of our limited resources and limited operations do
not warrant such a committee or the expense of doing
so.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted the following code of ethics for officers,
directors and employees:
●
Show respect towards others in the workplace
●
Conduct all business activities in a fair and ethical
manner
●
Work
dutifully and responsibly for the Company’s shareholders and
stakeholders
Limitation of Liability of Directors
Pursuant to the Texas Business Organizations Code, our Articles of
Incorporation exclude personal liability for our Directors for
monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties
as Directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of
loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any
transaction from which a Director receives an improper personal
benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which
a Director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any
Director’s liability under federal or applicable state
securities laws.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
GEX
Management, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of GEX Management, Inc.
(the Company) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related
statements of operations, changes in stockholdersí equity
(deficit) 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 audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America).
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 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 also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 GEX Management,
Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 of America.

GEX Management, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2016
Organization and Description of Business
GEX
Management, Inc. (“GEX”, the “Company”,
“we”, “our”, “us”) is a
Professional Services Company that was originally formed in 2004 as
Group Excellence Management, LLC d/b/a MyEasyHQ. The Company
converted from a limited liability company to a corporation in
March of 2016, and changed its name to GEX Management, Inc. in
April of 2016. The Company provides professional services and
general business consulting to companies for a variety of their
“back office” needs. We generate substantially all of
our revenue from the professional services we provide to our
customers. A majority of the services we provide to our clients
include: IT support, digital marketing and sales, accounting and
bookkeeping, human resources, business consultation and
optimization and staffing.
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 that are applicable
to interim financial reporting. 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.
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. The
Company maintains deposits in a financial institution which
provides Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage for
interest bearing and non-interest bearing transaction accounts
of up to $250,000. At December 31, 2016, none of the
Company’s cash was in excess of federally insured
limits.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company accounts for its Staffing Solutions revenues in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-45,
Revenue Recognition for Principal
Agent Considerations
. The Company’s gross billings to
clients include the payroll cost of each employee and a markup
computed as a percentage of each worksite employee’s payroll
cost. The Company invoices the gross billings concurrently with
each periodic payroll of our worksite employees. The aforementioned
markup includes pricing components associated with the
Company’s estimates of payroll taxes, benefits and
workers’ compensation costs, plus a separate component
related to the Company’s services.
The
Company accounts for Back Office Solutions revenue arrangements
that contain multiple deliverables in accordance with ASC 605-25,
Revenue Recognition
for Arrangements with Multiple
Elements
, which addresses the determination of whether an
arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one
unit of accounting. A delivered item within an arrangement is
considered a separate unit of accounting only if both of the
following criteria are met:
●
the
delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis;
and
●
if the
arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the
delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is
considered probable and substantially in control of the
vendor.
F-7
Under
FASB ASC Topic 605-25, if both of the criteria above are not met,
then separate accounting for the individual deliverables is not
appropriate. Revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple
deliverables constituting a single unit of accounting is recognized
generally over the greater of the term of the arrangement or the
expected period of performance. To date, all revenues are
recognized after the services are performed, collectability is
reasonably assured and the customer is invoiced.
Income Taxes
The
Company has adopted ASC 740-10, which requires the use of 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.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts
Receivable consists of accrued services and consulting receivables
due from customers and are unsecured. The receivables are generally
unsecured and such amounts 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 generally not
to charge interest on receivables after the invoice becomes past
due. A receivable is considered past due if payments
have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms. Write offs
are recorded at a time when a customer receivable is deemed
uncollectible.
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.
Cash,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses
and other current assets and liabilities are carried at amounts
which reasonably approximate their fair values because of the
relatively short maturity of those instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The ASC
guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a
fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the
highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the
lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3
measurements). The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs
– Quoted prices
for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs
– Quoted prices
for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active;
and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose
significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Inputs
– Instruments with
primarily unobservable value drivers.
As of
December 31, 2016, the Company’s financial assets were
measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs, with the exception of
cash, which was valued using Level 1 inputs. As of these dates, the
Company had no Level 3 inputs.
F-8
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property,
Plant and Equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or
construction, and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives
of the assets. Assets acquired in a business combination are stated
at estimated fair value. Costs associated with repair and
maintenance are expensed as they are incurred. Costs associated
with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or
improve the efficiency of our property and equipment are
capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related
asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are in
operating income. Depreciation and amortization are provided using
the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful
lives of the assets as follows:
|
Office
Furniture & Equipment
|
|

Years

Earnings Per Share
Earnings
per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260
“
Earnings per
Share
”. The weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic
earnings (loss) per share. Diluted earnings per share
are computed using the weighted average number of shares and
potentially dilutive common shares
outstanding. Potentially dilutive common shares
are additional common shares assumed to be
exercised. The Company has no potentially dilutive
common shares.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company 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.
GEX
Management, Inc. has incurred losses since
2014. Therefore, GEX has no federal tax liability.
The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward has
been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss
carryforward is $377,121 and $78,282 at December 31, 2016 and 2015,
respectively, all of which is available for carryforward for
federal income tax purposes and will expire in fiscal years 2034 to
2036. At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the
deferred tax asset consisted of the following:

The
change in the valuation allowance of $101,605 is due to the
Company’s net loss of $298,839 during the year ended December
31, 2016.
The
Company has no tax positions at December 31, 2016 and 2015 for
which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which
there is uncertainty about the timing of such
deductibility.
The
Company’s tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2016,
2015, and 2014 are open for examination under Federal Statute of
Limitations.
The
Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax
benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties since
inception.
F-9
The
Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 common shares at a par
value of $0.001 per share. These shares have full voting
