ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
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 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.
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.
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 $7,116,854 in fiscal year 2021 to $1,840,499 in 2022. This has a positive impact on the company’s financial health and reduces the risk of insolvency. It also improves the company’s ability to secure financing at lower interest rates, which can result in lower borrowing costs and improved profitability.
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.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our Business
GEX Management is a management consulting and technology business services company providing client employers and their employees with a broad portfolio of related products and services. We provide both long and short-term consulting solution services, including enterprise strategy and technology consulting, enterprise project management; and Human Capital Management (HCM) solution capabilities.
Business Operations
GEX Management works continuously to expand its service offerings to its clients in order to assist them to achieve their respective business goals. Our unique and tailored approach, coupled with an ever-expanding array of services, has significantly differentiated the Company from competitors. GEX likewise distinguished itself in the market via accessible and exceptional client support ensuring that we will not only gain new clients but will retain those we currently have, resulting in long-term sustainability. Clients typically initiate service by means of a three-month agreement with the Company. The contract thereby 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
GEX enters into contracts with its clients for management consulting and staffing services. GEX’s contract stipulates the rate and price charged to each client. GEX’s contracts for these services are generally cancellable at any time by either party with 30-days’ written notice. GEX fulfills its performance obligations each month, or as consultants work hours for hourly contracts, and the contracts generally have a term of one year with an automatic renewal after 12 months.
Management Consulting and Staffing Services
GEX Management recognizes revenue for its management consulting services in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, using the following five-step model, which requires that the Company: (1) identify a contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations and (5) recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied.
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 and rates to complete a given 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 as consultants perform the services.
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.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2022
Revenues
In 2023, the Company recognized $2,095,545 of revenue, as compared to $2,338,979 in 2022, for a decrease of $243,434 or 10%. The decrease in revenue is due to fluctuations as client needs changed.
Cost of Services and Gross Margins
In 2023, costs of revenues increased to $1,366,674, as compared to $1,234,243 in 2022, for an increase of $132,431 or 11%. This increase in cost of revenue impacted the company’s gross margin, which decreased from 47% in fiscal year 2022 to 35% in fiscal year 2023. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily driven by higher personnel costs.
Higher Personnel Costs
One of the primary drivers of the increase in cost of revenue was higher personnel costs. GEX Management continued to invest in its talent development programs and initiatives aimed at attracting and retaining high-quality consulting professionals. As a result, the company incurred higher salaries and benefits expenses, as well as increased costs related to recruiting and training new employees.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses declined from $1,070,583 in 2022 to $809,639 in 2023, representing a decrease of $260,944 or 24%. This decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by several factors, including improved cost management, streamlining of business processes, and reduced marketing and advertising expenses.
Improved Cost Management
One of the primary drivers of the decrease in G&A expenses was improved cost management. GEX Management focused on optimizing its operational processes, identifying areas of inefficiency, and implementing cost-saving measures. This led to a reduction in expenses related to rent, utilities, office supplies, and other general business expenses.
Streamlining of Business Processes
Another factor contributing to the decrease in G&A expenses was the streamlining of business processes. GEX Management implemented new software tools and systems to automate and streamline administrative tasks, reducing the need for manual labor and streamlining operations. This led to a reduction in expenses related to personnel costs and administrative overhead.
Reduced Marketing and Advertising Expenses
Finally, GEX Management also reduced its marketing and advertising expenses during the fiscal year, which contributed to the decrease in G&A expenses. The company focused on leveraging its existing network and client base to generate new business, reducing the need for expensive marketing campaigns and other promotional activities.
Looking forward, GEX Management remains committed to optimizing its cost structure and improving operational efficiency to drive profitability and growth. The company will continue to invest in technology and systems to automate and streamline administrative tasks, reducing the need for manual labor and lowering administrative overhead. Additionally, the company will continue to focus on leveraging its existing client base and network to generate new business, reducing the need for expensive marketing campaigns and other promotional activities.
Overall, GEX Management’s fiscal year 2022 was marked by a significant decrease in G&A expenses, driven by improved cost management, streamlining of business processes, and reduced marketing and advertising expenses. The company remains committed to optimizing its cost structure and improving operational efficiency to drive profitability and growth, while continuing to focus on delivering high-quality consulting services to its clients.
Net Operating Loss
During fiscal year 2022, the Company’s generated net operating losses of $80,768 in 2023 and net operating income of $34,153 in 2022, for a change of $114,921 or 336%. This change in net loss was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue, net of improved cost management and a broader reduction in operating expenses.
Improved Cost Management
Another factor contributing to the decrease in net loss was improved cost management. GEX Management focused on optimizing its operational processes, identifying areas of inefficiency, and implementing cost-saving measures. This led to a reduction in expenses related to rent, utilities, office supplies, and other general business expenses. Additionally, the company implemented new software tools and systems to automate and streamline administrative tasks, reducing the need for manual labor and streamlining operations.
Reduction in Operating Expenses
Finally, GEX Management also saw a significant reduction in its operating expenses during the fiscal year, which contributed to the decrease in net loss. The company was able to reduce its general and administrative (G&A) expenses considerably in 2022, primarily due to improved cost management and streamlining of business processes.
Looking forward, GEX Management remains committed to driving revenue growth, improving cost management, and reducing operating expenses to drive profitability and growth. The company will continue to focus on delivering high-quality consulting services to its clients, while optimizing its cost structure and improving operational efficiency to drive profitability and growth.
Overall, GEX Management’s fiscal year 2022 was marked by a significant decrease in net loss, driven by increased revenue, improved cost management, and a reduction in operating expenses. The company remains committed to driving profitability and growth by delivering high-quality consulting services to its clients, while optimizing its cost structure and improving operational efficiency.
Other Income/(Expense)
In 2023, the Company recognized net other income of $481,055, as compared to $43,540,351 in 2022, for a decrease of $43,059,296 or 99%. This change was primarily driven by substantial changes in fair value of the derivative liability on the Company’s convertible debt, which resulted from a significant dilution-driven decline in the Company’s stock price in 2022 and 2023 that impacted key inputs used to value the derivative liability. The remaining changes in net other expense resulted from interest expense on convertible debt and losses on judgments.
Net Income
The Company generated net income of $400,287 during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $43,574,504 for the year ended December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $43,174,217 or 99%. The net income and substantial year-over-year change were primarily driven by accounting for derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s convertible debt.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2023, the Company had $18,173 of cash and $499,160 of current assets, as compared to total current liabilities of $4,688,364, has incurred substantial recurring operating losses, and had an accumulated deficit of $17,500,100. Furthermore, the Company’s revenue and profits have historically been insufficient to generate positive cash flow, and there can be no assurances of future revenues or sufficient profits to fund operations.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Given these factors, the Company frequently requires financing from outside parties, and management intends to pursue outside capital through debt and equity vehicles. The Company currently has no firm 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.
The Company has identified several potential financing sources necessary to fund operations. From time to time, management has taken short-term factoring and working capital loans against present and future receivables to timely fund the growth of the company. Management has eliminated this 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 revenues 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.
A summary of our cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:
Net cash used in operating activities $ (52,870 ) $ (237,945 )
Net cash used in investing activities - -
Net cash provided by financing activities - 55,000
Net increase(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ (52,870 ) $ (182,945 )
Net cash used in operating activities was $52,870 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $237,945 of cash used in operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, for a decrease of $185,075 or 78%. Cash used in operations decreased significantly due to reduced operating costs.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $55,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, representing a decrease of $55,000 or 100%. The decrease was primarily due to no new convertible debt issuances in 2023.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of GEX Management, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GEX Management, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GEX Management, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Description of Business
GEX Management, Inc. (“GEX”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “us”) is a professional business 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 C corporation in March 2016, and changed its name to GEX Management, Inc. in April 2016.
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.
Related Parties
Parties are considered 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. Related party activities and balances are set forth in NOTE 6 to the financial statements.
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 had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of accrued services and consulting receivables due from customers. 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. Write-offs are recorded at the time when a customer receivable is deemed uncollectible.
Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0 and $62,560, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, net accounts receivable was $480,987 and $399,640, net of allowances for bad debts of $64,640 and $2,080, all respectively.
Impairment of 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. The Company evaluated the long-lived assets as of December 31, 2023 and determined that the long lived assets should be fully impaired as they no longer held future value. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment expense in the amount
Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting as required by ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging, requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as certain convertible features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for “out of the money” instruments and intrinsic value for “in the money” instruments. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Revenue Recognition
GEX enters into contracts with its clients for management consulting and staffing services. GEX’s contract stipulates the rate and price charged to each client. GEX’s contracts for these services are generally cancellable at any time by either party with 30-days’ written notice. GEX fulfills its performance obligations each month, or as consultants work hours for hourly contracts, and the contracts generally have a term of one year with an automatic renewal after 12 months.
Management Consulting and Staffing Services
GEX Management recognizes revenue for its management consulting services in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, using the following five-step model, which requires that the Company: (1) identify a contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations and (5) recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied.
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 and rates to complete a given 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 as consultants perform the services.
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.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under ASC 740, deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
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
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 income (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, estimated shares that would be issued for outstanding convertible debt on an if-converted basis, 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.
The Company calculated basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There are several new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable. The Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Management has evaluated accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective as of December 31, 2023 and does not expect such pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations, or cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior year periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
NOTE 2. RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company previously did not recognize embedded derivatives arising from the conversion features of convertible notes. Management re-evaluated the outstanding convertible notes and determined that the holders’ options to settle the debt in the Company’s stock at favorable fixed and variable conversion prices constituted a derivative liability that should be bifurcated from the notes with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. Furthermore, management determined that the derivative liability and corresponding impacts to the results of operations for each reporting period would be material and that the Company should have recorded a derivative liability upon issuance of each applicable note.
Additionally, during the preparation process for the restatement, management discovered substantial accounting errors and omitted disclosures in the previously issued financial statements and determined that such matters require restatement as well.
The following table reflects the impacts on the Company’s balance sheet, statement of operations, and statement of cash flows as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(1) Changes to current assets, current liabilities, revenues, and 2022 operating expenses consisted primarily of previously unrecorded or improperly recorded cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable activities.
(2)
Related party payables were not previously reduced for significant reimbursements paid out during 2021 and 2022, resulting in overstatement of payables and expenses.
(3)
Accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2022 increased primarily due to accumulated interest on convertible notes and decreased in December 31, 2021 due to previously satisfied liabilities. For consistent presentation purposes, “Accrued interest payable” presented in prior years has been reclassified to “Accrued liabilities.”
(4)
In 2022, the Company incorrectly wrote off a substantial portion of convertible notes to additional paid-in capital. This restatement re-recognizes the still-outstanding convertible notes.
(5) In connection with the restatement, the Company re-evaluated the terms of convertible notes issued and determined that the conversion features constitute embedded derivatives and has accordingly recognized, valued, and re-measured derivative liabilities as of each balance sheet date and in each period, resulting in substantial impacts to balances and results of operations.
(6)
This merchant cash advance liability was settled for stock in December 2018 and has thus been derecognized as of the opening balance sheet date. Furthermore, the Company previously incorrectly recognized and amortized a corresponding asset to consulting fees and ultimately derecognized the asset under impairment expense (2021 10-K) and selling, general and administrative (2022 10-K).
(7)
The Company did not previously present its Series A1 Voting Preferred Stock on the balance sheets or statements of stockholders’ equity and has recognized it in these financial statements.
(8) This adjustment corrects the par value of the Company’s common stock to $0.00001, as set forth in the DEF-14C filed on December 30, 2020, rather than the previous $0.001 and further corrects the outstanding share counts as of each year-end.
(9)
Additional paid-in capital adjustments primarily consist of re-recognition of notes discussed in (5), the par value corrections related to (9) and (10), and recognition of interest expense related to warrants and commitment shares issued with convertible debt.
(10) Accumulated deficit changed primarily as a result of derivative accounting related to convertible notes, opening balance adjustments to December 31, 2020 of $621,392, and other changes to the statements of operations presented herein.
(11) In connection with the restatement, the Company re-evaluated its labor allocations between client-facing (Cost of Sales) and internal operations and adjusted accordingly.
(12) These line items correct improper “netting” and missing convertible debt activity previously presented.
(13)
This restatement corrects the previously incorrectly calculated weighted average shares outstanding and accounts for potential dilutive impacts of convertible debt in periods where net income is reported.
(14)
The conversion lines originally presented shares as dollar amounts. Refer to the updated line items in the statement of cash flows and statement of stockholders’ deficit.
(15) During the preparation process for the restatement, the Company identified additional judgments and settlements, as disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2023, the Company had $18,173 of cash and $499,160 of current assets, as compared to total current liabilities of $4,688,364, has incurred substantial recurring operating losses, and had an accumulated deficit of $17,500,100. Furthermore, the Company’s revenue and profits have historically been insufficient to generate positive cash flow, and there can be no assurances of future revenues or sufficient profits to fund operations without the need for outside capital or advances from management.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, however, the above conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Given these factors, the Company frequently requires financing from outside parties, and management intends to pursue outside capital through debt and equity vehicles. The Company currently has no firm 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.

Warrants
In 2021, the Company issued warrants to purchase its common stock in connection with the issuance of certain convertible notes in securities purchase agreements. The Company determined the warrants were detachable from the convertible notes and evaluated whether the warrants represented liabilities or equity under ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, concluding that they did not have the characteristics of liabilities. As a result, the Company recorded the warrants to equity with a corresponding charge to interest expense at issuance.
A summary of outstanding warrants and related activities follows:

NOTE 5. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE, NET
In 2023 and 2022, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements to issue short-term convertible notes with face values totaling $0 and $55,000.
The Company further evaluated the fixed price and variable price conversion features of these notes and determined that they constitute embedded derivatives, as the notes are settled in the Company’s common stock and are effectively call options to the noteholders. Given that the size of the derivative liabilities was substantially larger than the principal amounts of the notes, management did not allocate the value between the instruments, but rather recorded the notes at face value and bifurcated the derivative liability at its respective value, and recorded changes in fair value in the statements of operations. Accordingly, the Company recorded derivative liabilities upon issuance totaling $0 and $80,246 throughout the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and recorded corresponding issuance-date losses due to the substantial disparity between the stock price and conversion price at issuance.
The Company used the following inputs to value the derivative liability throughout 2023 and 2022:
SCHEDULE OF INPUTS TO VALUE OF DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
Year Ended December 31,
Risk-free interest rate 4.56-5.46% 1.63-4.76%
Time to maturity Year Year
Annualized volatility 255-556% 232-254%
Dividend rate 0% 0%
These notes generally call for (i) the Company to reserve 4 to 10 times the amount of shares into which the notes are convertible and (ii) an escalating prepayment penalty of 120-145% increasing every 30-60 days up to 180 days.
The following represents key terms of convertible notes that were outstanding and newly issued during 2021 and 2022:

(1) Converts at fixed price of $2.50 per share.
(2) Converts at lesser of: (i) lowest trade price in previous 25 days on OTC Pink, OTCQB, or other applicable market, or (ii) 58% times the average last two lowest trade prices in 25 previous trading days.
(3) Converts at fixed price of $2.50 per share for the first 180 days. After 180 days, lesser of: (i) Closing price of previous trading day, or (ii) 65% of lowest trade price in previous 25 days.
(4) Converts at 61% of the average last 2 lowest trade prices in 20 previous trading days.
(5) Converts at fixed price of $0.0035 per share.
(6) Converts at fixed price of $0.05 per share.
(7) These notes provide for the conversion price to be adjusted downward in the event of a new issuance of convertible debt at a lower conversion price. Management determined the financial statement impact to be immaterial for the periods presented.
Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled $430,247 and $827,408, respectively.
As discussed in Note 4, a total of 1,708,444,274 and 376,091,753 common shares were issued for conversions of $167,578 and $1,082,830 convertible debt and accrued interest and fees during 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of December 31,2023 and 2022, outstanding balances on these notes totaled $1,881,495 and $2,026,145, respectively. Accrued interest on these notes included in accrued liabilities as of December 31,2023 and 2022 was $1,291,796 and $885,793, respectively.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
The Company recorded no deferred income tax provision or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2020, because the Company believes it is more likely than not that net operating loss carryforwards will not be utilized in the near future due to net losses. The Company has generated no taxable income. The income tax provision (benefit) differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 21% plus applicable state rates to the loss before income taxes due to the unrecognized benefit resulting from the Company’s valuation allowance, as well as due to nondeductible expenses. The Company’s blended tax rate of 21% currently consists of 21% for U.S. Federal income tax and 0% for Texas state income taxes. The following tables set forth the Company’s analysis of its deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances:

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15a-15, the management of GEX Management Inc, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the restatement discussed in NOTE 2 to the financial statements, and limited funds to consistently retain securities counsel, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
In addition, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that material information about the company is made known to them by others within our organization, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared.
However, any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls and procedures is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including the risk that controls or procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. As a result, management’s evaluation of controls and procedures is subject to the risk that controls or procedures may not be effective in detecting or preventing misstatements in financial or other information.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 using the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of 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. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses under COSO and SEC rules are, as described below:
(1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of independent directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. The aforementioned potential material weaknesses were identified by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and communicated the matters to our management and board of directors.

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 Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that there are currently no independent directors serving on our board.
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.
