GEX Management, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
(Unaudited)
 
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 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.
 
On January 25, 2017, GEX obtained its license to operate as a Professional Employer Organization (“PEO”), and we began offering PEO services in April 2017. The Company formed GEX Staffing, LLC (“GEX Staffing”) in March 2017. The initial funding and first transactions occurred in GEX Staffing in September 2017. The consolidated financials include the accounts of GEX Staffing, LLC. Staffing and PEO services make up a majority of our revenue.
 
On December 29, 2017 GEX purchased 100% of the membership interest in AMAST Consulting, LLC (“AMAST”), which owned a multi-use office building in Lowell, Arkansas, which had an occupancy rate of 100% at the time of the acquisition. The terms of the Agreement to purchase AMAST include the fulfillment of the lease obligations of the current tenants, as well as the assumption of the debt that is collateralized by the building and associated property. The consolidated financials include the assets and debt of AMAST.
 
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.
 
The accompanying interim, unaudited consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 10, 2018. All adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GEX Management, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies that have a material impact on our financial statements and accompanying notes.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable consists of accrued services and consulting receivables due from customers and are unsecured. The receivables are generally due within 30 to 45 days after the date of the invoice. Accounts receivable is carried at their face amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. GEX’s policy is not to charge interest on receivables after the invoice becomes past due. Write-offs are recorded at the time when a customer receivable is deemed uncollectible. The Company incurred $92,102 of bad debt expense for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. No bad debt expense was incurred for the three or six months ended June 30, 2017.
 
Equity Method Investments
 
The Company has accounted for its investment in Payroll Express, LLC (“PE”), a Santa Clara, CA based professional services firm that provides a wide array of back office and managed services related to medical staffing needs for its healthcare clients that includes clinical practices and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), as an equity method investment due to its ability to assert significant influence over PE’s operational and financial policies. This investment was initially accounted for at cost. The Company recognizes its proportionate share of PE’s earnings (after the effect of basis differences) as an increase in its Investment in PE and as Income from Investment in PE.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and Equipment, net is carried at the cost of purchase, acquisition or construction, and is 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. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line methods over the useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
 
Useful Life
Buildings
30 Years
Office Furniture & Equipment
5 Years
 
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.

Revenue Recognition
 
Effective on January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 outlines a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for revenue derived from contracts with customers and it supersedes the prior revenue recognition guidance, including prior guidance that is industry-specific. Under ASU No. 2014-09, an entity recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09 using the modified retrospective method, which applies to only the most current period presented in the financial statements. There were no significant changes to the Company's existing revenue recognition policies as a result of adopting ASU 2014-09.
 
GEX enters into contracts with its clients for professional services, staffing and/or PEO 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, and the contracts generally have a term of one year with an automatic renewal after 12 months. The duration between invoicing and when GEX completes its contractual, performance obligations are satisfied is not significant. For the Company's PEO services, payment is generally due on the date the invoice is sent to the client. For staffing and professional services payment is generally due 30 days after the invoice is sent to the client. GEX does not have significant financing components or significant payment terms.
 
GEX's revenue is generally recognized ratably, month-to-month as co-employees or staffed employees perform their service at the client's worksite. Generally, GEX's PEO clients are invoiced concurrently with each payroll of its co-employees, and clients that utilize GEX's staffing and back office services are billed concurrently with each payroll or on a monthly basis.
 
PEO Services
 
Professional Employment Organization (“PEO”) service revenues represent the fees charged to clients for administering payroll and payroll tax transactions for our clients’ Co-Employed Employees (“CEEs”), access to our HR and benefits administration services, consulting related to employment and benefit law compliance and general employment consulting related fees. PEO service revenues are recognized in the period the PEO services are performed as stipulated in the Client Service Agreement (“CSA”), where these fees are fixed or determinable, when the PEO client is invoiced and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
GEX is not considered the primary obligor with respect to CEE’s payroll and payroll tax, and insurance payments and therefore, these payments are not reflected as either revenue or expense in our statements of operations.
 
PEO-related revenues also include revenues generated from insurance administration for our PEO clients. These insurance-related revenues include insurance-related billings, as well as administrative fees that GEX collects from PEO clients and withholds from CEEs for health benefit insurance plans provided by third-party insurance carriers. Insurance-related revenues are recognized over the period the insurance coverage is provided and where collectability is reasonably assured.
 
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.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company uses the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes payable. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.   
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. In general, fair value of financial instruments is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company’s credit worthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the period income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to common share holders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For purposes of this calculation, common stock dividends, warrants and options to acquire common stock, would be considered common stock equivalents in periods in which they have a dilutive effect and are excluded from this calculation in periods in which these are anti-dilutive to the net loss per share. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had 80,000 potentially dilutive shares pursuant to convertible debt and 90,000 potentially dilutive warrant shares outstanding. At December 31, 2017, the Company has no potentially dilutive common shares.
 
Earnings per share information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split that occurred in December 2017.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  Such reclassifications have had no effect on the financial position as of December 31, 2017 or operations or cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2017.
 
Going Concern
 
To date, the Company has funded its operations primarily through public and private offerings of common stock, our line of credit, short-term discounted and convertible notes payable.  The Company has identified several potential financing sources in order to raise the capital necessary to fund operations through June 30, 2019. 
In addition to the aforementioned current sources of capital that will provide additional short-term liquidity, the Company is currently exploring various other alternatives including debt and equity financing vehicles, strategic partnerships, government programs that may be available to the Company, as well as trying to generate additional sales and increase margins.  However, at this time the Company has no commitments to obtain any additional funds, and there can be no assurance such funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all.  If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding and improve its operations, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected and the Company may not be able to continue operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
10
 
 
Additionally, even if the Company raises sufficient capital through additional equity or debt financing, strategic alternatives or otherwise, there can be no assurances that the revenue or capital infusion will be sufficient to enable it to develop its business to a level where it will be profitable or generate positive cash flow. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted, and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If the Company incurs additional debt, a substantial portion of its operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for business activities. The terms of any debt securities issued could also impose significant restrictions on the Company’s operations. Broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance, and may adversely impact our ability to raise additional funds. Similarly, if the Company’s common stock is delisted from the public exchange markets, it may limit its ability to raise additional funds.
 
The consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be required to liquidate its assets.  The ability of the Company to meet its total liabilities of $4,270,590 at June 30, 2018, and to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the availability of future funding, continued growth in billings and sales contracts, and the Company’s ability to profitably meet its after-sale service commitments with its existing customers.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company may not have sufficient liquidity to pay its obligations and operate at current levels for the next twelve months. The Company has identified several potential financing sources in order to raise the capital necessary to fund operations through June 30, 2019. 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. That said, being a minority owned business ourselves it comes at no surprise to management that we are having difficulty accessing reasonably priced capital. However, the opportunity to make a significant return for our investors is so overwhelmingly compelling that management has taken short term working capital loans against future receivables in order to timely fund the growth of the company. Management intends to continue doing this in the future whenever it is deemed appropriate.  
 
In addition to the aforementioned current sources of capital that will provide additional short-term liquidity, the Company is currently exploring various other alternatives including debt and equity financing vehicles, strategic partnerships, government programs that may be available to the Company, as well as trying to generate additional sales and increase margins.  However, at this time the Company has no commitments to obtain any additional funds, and there can be no assurance such funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all.  If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding and improve its operations, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected and the Company may not be able to continue operations.
 
Additionally, even if the Company raises sufficient capital through additional equity or debt financing, strategic alternatives or otherwise, there can be no assurances that the revenue or capital infusion will be sufficient to enable it to develop its business to a level where it will be profitable or generate positive cash flow. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted, and these newly issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If the Company incurs additional debt, a substantial portion of its operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for business activities. The terms of any debt securities issued could also impose significant restrictions on the Company’s operations. Broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance, and may adversely impact our ability to raise additional funds. Similarly, if the Company’s common stock is delisted from the public exchange markets, it may limit its ability to raise additional funds.
 
Although cash was comparable at $402,105 as of June 30, 2018 as compared to $410,096 at December 31, 2017. The Company had significantly more debt, which increased to $4,049,079 at June 30, 2018 from $1,663,020 at December 31, 2017. A summary of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, was as follows:
 
 
 
2018
 
 
2017
 
Net cash used in operating activities
 $(1,644,050)
 $(472,158)
Net cash used in investing activities
  (750,000)
  (37,500)
Net cash provided by financing activities
  2,386,059 
  452,086 
 Net increase(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents
 $(7,991)
 $(57,572)
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,644,050 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $472,158 cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in cash used in operating activities was in part due to higher net losses in 2018 as the Company invested in corporate office personnel and the related benefits to support growth. Additionally, working capital requirements increased primarily as a result of an increase in the Company’s accounts receivable.
 
Net cash of $750,000 was used in the six months ended June 30, 2018 towards to purchase of equity in PE.
Net cash provided by financing activities of $2,386,059 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 came from the net proceeds from discounted notes payable agreement for the purchase and sale of the Company’s future receipts, and other notes payable which was partially offset by payments on other debt. Net cash provided by financing activities of $452,086 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 came from the sale of common stock related to a public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement and from borrowing from a related party.
 
 
20
 
 
Subsequent to June 30, 2018, the Company received $972,000 in net proceeds from financing arrangements including discounted notes payable from the sales of future revenues and accounts receivable, and the issuance of convertible notes payable. These short-term financing arrangements were made in order to support the future growth plans of the Company, and to provide liquidity for operating activities. Management is working aggressively to refinance any of the remaining balances not paid in full by maturity.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not formed any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based upon this assessment, we determined that as of the end of period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because there exist material weaknesses affecting our internal control over financial reporting.
 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considers to be material weaknesses under SEC rules are: (1) ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures due to untimely finalization of financial statements and many corrections of balances; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (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; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned potential material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of June 30, 2018, who communicated the matters to our management and board of directors. Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in the items above did not have an effect on our financial results.
 
 
21
 
 
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
 
Although we are unable to meet the standards under COSO because of the limited funds available to a company of our size, we are committed to improving our financial organization. As funds become available, we will undertake to: (1) segregate duties consistent with control objectives, (2) increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function and (3) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. However, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Other than the material weaknesses as described above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2018, that occurred during our second quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
