Revenue Recognition
Management Consulting Services
GEX Management recognizes revenue for its management consulting services in
accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Revenue is recognized when control of the services is transferred to the client
and the consideration for the services is expected to be collected. Control is
transferred when the client is able to direct the use of and obtain
substantially all of the benefits from the services provided.
The revenue recognized is based on the transaction price, which is the amount of
consideration that GEX expects to be entitled to in exchange for providing the
services. The transaction price is determined based on the estimated costs to
complete the project, as well as the estimated profit margin on the project.
GEX Management typically enters into contracts with clients that specify the
scope of services to be provided, the time period for which the services will be
provided, and the fees for the services. Revenue is recognized over the period
during which the services are provided, generally on a straight-line basis over
the term of the contract.
If there are any changes to the scope of the services or the fees for the
services, GEX Management will assess whether these changes constitute a
modification of the original contract. If a modification is deemed to exist, GEX
will reassess the transaction price and adjust the revenue recognized
accordingly.
GEX Management also considers any variable consideration, such as performance
bonuses or penalties, when recognizing revenue. If the amount of variable
consideration cannot be estimated reliably, it will be excluded from the
transaction price until it can be reliably estimated.
In summary, GEX Management recognizes revenue for its management consulting
services in accordance with ASC 606, based on the transfer of control of
services to the client and the expected consideration to be collected. Revenue
is recognized over the period during which the services are provided and is
adjusted for any changes in scope or fees.
All employees are completely vetted by the company to ensure their employment
terms are in adherence to all applicable state. federal and immigration laws.
Additionally, GEX Management carries professional liability and fidelity/crime
insurance to protect against risks involving working at third party client
locations that require the workers to handle sensitive client data and
equipment.

Cost of Services and Gross Profit
During fiscal year 2022, GEX Management, Inc. experienced a significant increase
in its cost of revenue, which rose from $494,865 in fiscal year 2021 to
$1,132,416 in 2022. This increase in cost of revenue impacted the company's
gross margin, which decreased from 62% in fiscal year 2021 to 50.2% in fiscal
year 2022. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily driven by several
factors, including higher personnel costs, increased project volume, and
investments in technology and infrastructure.
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.

which contributed to the increase in cost of revenue. This was due in part to

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has identified several potential financing sources in order to raise
the capital necessary to fund operations through December 31, 2023. Management
had in the past taken short term working capital loans against future
receivables in order to timely fund the growth of the company. Management has
eliminated this past practice and currently relies on other traditional and
non-traditional debt instruments primarily in the form of convertible notes as
well as is exploring various other alternatives including debt and equity
financing vehicles, strategic partnerships, government programs that may be
available to the Company, as well as trying to generate additional sales and
increase margins. However, at this time the Company has no commitments to obtain
any additional funds, and there can be no assurance such funds will be available
on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional
funding, the Company's financial condition and results of operations may be
materially adversely affected and the Company may not be able to continue
operations.
Additionally, even if the Company raises sufficient capital through additional
equity or debt financing, strategic alternatives or otherwise, there can be no
assurances that the revenue or capital infusion will be sufficient to enable it
to develop its business to a level where it will be profitable or generate
positive cash flow. If the Company incurs additional debt, a substantial portion
of its operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and
interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for business
activities. The terms of any debt securities issued could also impose
significant restrictions on the Company's operations. Broad market and industry
factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of
our operating performance, and may adversely impact our ability to raise
additional funds. Similarly, if the Company's common stock is delisted from the
public exchange markets, it may limit its ability to raise additional funds.
In addition, at this time we cannot predict the impact of COVID-19 on our
ability to obtain financing necessary for the Company to fund its working
capital requirements.
