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
Staffing Services and Professional Services
Staffing services revenue is derived from supplying temporary staff to clients.
Temporary staff generally consists of temporary workers working under a contract
for a fixed period of time, or on a specific client project. The temporary staff
includes both GEX employees and third-parties contracted by GEX.
Temporary staff are provided to clients through a Staffing Service Agreement
('SSA') involving a specified service that the temporary staff will provide to
the client. When GEX is the principal or primary obligor for the temporary
staff, GEX records the gross amount of the revenue and expense from the SSA.
GEX is generally the primary obligor when GEX is responsible for the fulfillment
of services under the SSA, even if the temporary staff are not employees of GEX.
This typically occurs when GEX contracts third-parties to fulfill all or part of
the SSA with the client, but GEX remains the holder of the credit risk
associated with the SSA, and GEX has total discretion in establishing the
pricing under the SSA.
All other Professional Services revenues are recognized in the period the
services are performed as stipulated in the client's Outsourcing Agreement, when
the client is invoiced, and collectability is reasonably assured. 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.
All staffing and consulting workers are completely vetted by the company to
ensure their employment terms are in adherence to all applicable state. federal
and immigration laws. Additionally, GEX Management carries professional
liability and fidelity/crime insurance to protect against risks involving
working at third party client locations that require the workers to handle
sensitive client data and equipment.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to the Year
Ended December 31, 2020
Revenues
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $1,315,669 and
$750,682, respectively. The 75% increase in year over year sales is attributable
to a significant expansion in client footprints, aggressive business development
efforts and a focus on higher end management and technology consulting business
expansion and growth opportunities. Additionally, the management has put in
processes in place to strengthen internal controls such as, (1) adherence to
established contract markups through enforcement of systematic and
auto-invoicing processes to minimize manual errors and enforcing timely invoice
submission to clients (2) frequent follow ups by the executive management team
to ensure invoices and receivables are tracked and closed in a timely manner,
and (3) timely alerts to customers to notify on upcoming billing cycles and
payment dues. All of these efforts have resulted in a strong
Cost of Services and Gross Profit
The Company's gross profit in 2021 was $820,971 compared to $636,965 in 2020.
The 29% increase in gross margin was primarily due to signing more consulting
contracts in 2021 compared to 2020 and also significant cost rationalization
efforts associated with customer contracts relating to our business services in
2021 compared to 2020 and prior periods.
Operating Expense
Total operating expense in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were
$2,719,876 and $680,202 respectively. The increased expenses reflect the
increased operating expenses associated with higher staff addition and costs
related to greater volume of customer contracts relating to our business
services in 2021 compared to 2020
Net Loss
Net loss for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $6,052,523 and
$224,947, respectively. The higher losses for 2021 compared to 2020 was
attributable to increased operating expenses and non-operating expenses
resulting from the loss on debt extinguishment and impairment of long-lived
assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has identified several potential financing sources in order to raise
the capital necessary to fund operations through December 31, 2022. Management
believes that it has been historically difficult for minority and women owned
businesses to get access to reasonably price capital at scale which creates an
opportunity to invest into these companies and receive a greater than average
return for our shareholders. However, the opportunity to make a significant
return for our investors is so overwhelmingly compelling that management had in
the past taken short term working capital loans against future receivables in
order to timely fund the growth of the company. Management intends to move away
from these expensive debt like obligations and rely on other traditional and
non-traditional debt instruments primarily in the form of convertible notes as
well as explore various other alternatives including debt and equity financing
vehicles, strategic partnerships, government programs that may be available to
the Company, as well as trying to generate additional sales and increase
margins. However, at this time the Company has no commitments to obtain any
additional funds, and there can be no assurance such funds will be available on
acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional
funding, the Company's financial condition and results of operations may be
materially adversely affected and the Company may not be able to continue
operations.
Additionally, even if the Company raises sufficient capital through additional
equity or debt financing, strategic alternatives or otherwise, there can be no
assurances that the revenue or capital infusion will be sufficient to enable it
to develop its business to a level where it will be profitable or generate
positive cash flow. If the Company incurs additional debt, a substantial portion
of its operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and
interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for business
activities. The terms of any debt securities issued could also impose
significant restrictions on the Company's operations. Broad market and industry
factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of
our operating performance, and may adversely impact our ability to raise
additional funds. Similarly, if the Company's common stock is delisted from the
public exchange markets, it may limit its ability to raise additional funds.
In addition, at this time we cannot predict the impact of COVID-19 on our
ability to obtain financing necessary for the Company to fund its working
capital requirements.
