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

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

Business Strategy
 
Our objective is to become a leading back office and general business consulting company, and continuously grow our client base. We plan to achieve this objective by continuing to implement our business strategy, which includes the primary elements we discuss below.
 
Marketing and Sales
 
Our marketing efforts target small and mid-sized businesses that have the need for the types of services that we provide, but cannot afford full time employees to handle those services. One of our fastest growing customer segments is the marketing and consultancy businesses. The Company began focusing on these industries in its third and fourth quarters because of the need for cost effective staffing and back office solutions due to the cyclical nature of those industries. In the past we have generated a significant amount of our revenues through client referrals and our management’s personal relationships. We plan to continue to grow through these relationships and reach a wider audience through social media advertising and marketing channels to accelerate client and sales growth.
 
Dependence on Major Customers
 
We rely heavily on the service contract renewals of our clients. Our management is responsible for developing and maintaining successful long-term relationships with key clients. In 2015 and 2016 we had 4 to 5 main customers that made up approximately 80% of our revenues.
 
 
5
 
 
Our Qualifications
 
Our qualifications include our reputation as a Professional Services Company with specific experience in the back office services general business consulting since 2004.
 
Industry and Competitors
 
The back office and employee/employer administration industry, including the Professional Employer Organizations (PEO) and Administrative Services Organizations (ASO), is highly fragmented, resulting in intense competition. Competition affects our ability to succeed in both the market segments we currently serve and new market segments that we may enter in the future. We compete with several large back office and administration companies, as well as PEOs and ASOs that provide the same services we provide, but also provide additional services. These companies may have greater financial, marketing, and other resources than we do. Competition in our industry is based primarily on quality of service to the customer, price, and new and improved innovative services offerings.
 
Environmental Concerns
 
As a Professional Service Company, federal, state or local laws that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment do not materially impact us.
 
Number of Employees
 
We have a total of 17 employees.

The Offering has terminated as of March 28, 2017, after sales of 429,074 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $643,611.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Our Business
 
GEX Management is a Staffing and Professional Services Company that offers progressive and complete solutions that are unique to our specific customers back office and administration needs.  These services include: digital marketing and sales, IT support and consultation, accounting and bookkeeping, human resources, general business consulting, staffing and software and medical billing services.   
 
Our Strategy
 
GEX works continuously to expand its service offerings to its clients in order to help them achieve their personal business goals. GEX’s unique approach that allows customized service options for its clients, and its wide array of services that are offered allows GEX to differentiate itself from other back office and administrative companies. GEX also prides itself on constant client interaction to ensure that GEX is providing not only the best support, but the right support to help clients achieve their individual goals. Clients typically will sign a three month service agreement with the Company, and the contract automatically renews until terminated with a 30 day notice by either party.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The Company’s financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  As such, management is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that they believe are reasonable based upon the information available.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the periods presented. 
 
Revenue Recognition 
 
The Company accounts for its Staffing Solutions revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-45, Revenue Recognition for Principal Agent Considerations. The Company’s gross billings to clients include the payroll cost of each employee and a markup computed as a percentage of each worksite employee’s payroll cost. The Company invoices the gross billings concurrently with each periodic payroll of our worksite employees. The aforementioned markup includes pricing components associated with the Company’s estimates of payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation costs, plus a separate component related to the Company’s services.
 
 
7
 
 
 
The Company accounts for Back Office Solutions revenue arrangements that contain multiple deliverables in accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition for Arrangements with Multiple Elements, which addresses the determination of whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. A delivered item within an arrangement is considered a separate unit of accounting only if both of the following criteria are met:
 
the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; and
 
if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in control of the vendor.
 
Under FASB ASC Topic 605-25, if both of the criteria above are not met, then separate accounting for the individual deliverables is not appropriate. Revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables constituting a single unit of accounting is recognized generally over the greater of the term of the arrangement or the expected period of performance. To date, all revenues are recognized after the services are performed, collectability is reasonably assured and the customer is invoiced.
 
Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2015
 
Revenues
 
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 and year ended December 31, 2015 were $508,221 and $907,728, respectively. Of that amount, related party revenues were $305,885 and $563,837 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively. The decrease is due to the focusing on our recent S-1 offering and focusing on marketing to acquire new clients that are not related parties which we believe we will see the benefits in 2017. Over the same time we reduced our reliance on related party revenues.
 
Cost of Services and Gross Profit
 
The Company’s gross margin was 24% in 2016 compared to 56% in 2015. The decrease was due to the type of contracts the Company had during the respective years. This is reflective in the decline in sales as well.
  
Operating Expense
 
Total operating expenses in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $382,097 and $347,946 respectively. The increase reflected certain costs incurred to prepare and file our S-1 offering and other occupancy and administrative costs to position our back-office business for additional clients.  Depreciation was a minor expense and increased from $48 to $577 from the year ended December 31, 2015 to December 31, 2016.
 
 
8
 
 
Other income and expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was made up of interest income and interest expense. Interest income was $72 and $48 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively. Interest expense, which related solely to the interest on our notes payable, was $39,809 and $25,635 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively.
 
Net (Loss) Income
 
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $298,839 and a net profit for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $137,796.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The Company has sufficient cash reserves and liquidity to operate for the next twelve months.
 
Cash increased by $304,558 from $2,837 at December 31, 2015 to $307,395 at December 31, 2016. The increase was due to the funds we raised in the Company’s S-1 offering, and net loan proceeds [loan proceeds over loan paybacks] of $179,887. The Company raised an additional $282,089 in cash from the offering since December 31, 2016.
 
Net cash used by operating activities was $236,852 for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $186,737 for the year ended December 31, 2015.  The increase was due to the decrease in sales and the resulting operating loss.
 
Net cash used in investing activities for fixed assets was $0 and $1,731 in the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively.
 
Net cash from financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2016 came from two sources (a) advances on related party notes payable of $268,527 and (b) sale of common stock of $361,523 in our S-1 offering. The Company also used cash for financing activities to repay related party notes payable of $13,196 and repayment of $75,444 on a working capital loan.
 
Net cash from financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2015 came from two sources (a) advances on related party notes payable of $466,513 and (b) proceeds from a working capital loan of $100,000. The Company also used cash for financing activities to repay related party notes payable of $358,657 and repayment of $24,556 on the working capital loan. 
 
Liquidity
 
On December 5, 2016, the Company reached its minimum of $300,000 of its public offering, and the Company has raised a total of $301,500. The Company has determined that the receipt of these funds will support the Company’s operations through the year ended 2018.  Furthermore, the Company has until March 31, 2017 to raise a maximum of $1,500,000 in its offering.  The Company also procured a Letter of Credit in the amount of $85,000 further increasing its capital resources.
 
Accounts Receivable, Bad Debt Expense and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivables are considered past due if payments have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms. Write offs are recorded at a time when a customer receivable is deemed uncollectible. GEX had $29,918 and $63,043 bad debt expense during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and had $41,651 and $11,733 allowance for bad debts at December 31, 2016 and 2015 respectively.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31 2016.  This evaluation was accomplished under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer / principal executive officer, and chief financial officer / principal financial officer who concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that all material information required to be filed in the annual report on Form 10-K has been made known to them.
 
For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seg.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure, controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
   
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.  Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
 
10
 
 
 
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) at December 31, 2016.  Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of: 1) Our reliance upon independent financial reporting consultants for review of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material non-standard transaction; and 2) a lack of sufficient accounting staff which results in a lack of segregation of duties necessary for a good system of internal control.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. We believe that as of the date of this report they were all current in their 16(a) reports.
 
Board of Directors
 
Our board of directors currently consists of three members. Our directors serve one-year terms. Our board of directors has affirmatively determined that there are currently no independent directors serving on our board.

Committees of the Board of Directors
 
Audit Committee
 
We do not have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors. Management has determined not to establish an audit committee at present because of our limited resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit committee or the expense of doing so. We do not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Item 401(e) of Regulation S is beyond its limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an expert are simply not required or necessary for us to maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in its financial statements at this stage of its development.
 
Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee
 
We do not have a standing governance, compensation and nominating committee of the Board of Directors. Management has determined not to establish governance, compensation and nominating committee at present because of our limited resources and limited operations do not warrant such a committee or the expense of doing so.
 
Code of Ethics
 
The Company has adopted the following code of ethics for officers, directors and employees:
 
Show respect towards others in the workplace  
Conduct all business activities in a fair and ethical manner
Work dutifully and responsibly for the Company’s shareholders and stakeholders
 
Limitation of Liability of Directors
 
Pursuant to the Texas Business Organizations Code, our Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability for our Directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as Directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction from which a Director receives an improper personal benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a Director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any Director’s liability under federal or applicable state securities laws.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
GEX Management, Inc.
 
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of GEX Management, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholdersí equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GEX Management, Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

GEX Management, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2016
 
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 corporation in March of 2016, and changed its name to GEX Management, Inc. in April of 2016. The Company provides professional services and general business consulting to companies for a variety of their “back office” needs. We generate substantially all of our revenue from the professional services we provide to our customers. A majority of the services we provide to our clients include: IT support, digital marketing and sales, accounting and bookkeeping, human resources, business consultation and optimization and staffing.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), as well as the applicable regulations and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that are applicable to interim financial reporting. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and their accompanying notes. The actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies that have a material impact on our financial statements and accompanying notes.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and short term investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains deposits in a financial institution which provides Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage for interest bearing and non-interest bearing transaction accounts of up to $250,000.  At December 31, 2016, none of the Company’s cash was in excess of federally insured limits.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company accounts for its Staffing Solutions revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-45, Revenue Recognition for Principal Agent Considerations. The Company’s gross billings to clients include the payroll cost of each employee and a markup computed as a percentage of each worksite employee’s payroll cost. The Company invoices the gross billings concurrently with each periodic payroll of our worksite employees. The aforementioned markup includes pricing components associated with the Company’s estimates of payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation costs, plus a separate component related to the Company’s services.
 
The Company accounts for Back Office Solutions revenue arrangements that contain multiple deliverables in accordance with ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition for Arrangements with Multiple Elements, which addresses the determination of whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. A delivered item within an arrangement is considered a separate unit of accounting only if both of the following criteria are met:
 
the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis; and
 
if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in control of the vendor.
 
 
F-7
 
 
Under FASB ASC Topic 605-25, if both of the criteria above are not met, then separate accounting for the individual deliverables is not appropriate. Revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables constituting a single unit of accounting is recognized generally over the greater of the term of the arrangement or the expected period of performance. To date, all revenues are recognized after the services are performed, collectability is reasonably assured and the customer is invoiced.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, which requires the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes payable. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts Receivable consists of accrued services and consulting receivables due from customers and are unsecured. The receivables are generally unsecured and such amounts are generally due within 30 to 45 days after the date of the invoice.  Accounts Receivable is carried at their face amount, less an allowance for doubtful accounts.   GEX’s policy is generally not to charge interest on receivables after the invoice becomes past due.  A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms. Write offs are recorded at a time when a customer receivable is deemed uncollectible.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
ASC Topic 820, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.  In general, fair value of financial instruments is based upon quoted market prices, where available.  If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market based parameters.  Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value.  These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company’s credit worthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters.
 
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses and other current assets and liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values because of the relatively short maturity of those instruments.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
 
Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
 
Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
 
As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s financial assets were measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs, with the exception of cash, which was valued using Level 1 inputs. As of these dates, the Company had no Level 3 inputs.
 
 
F-8
 
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Property, Plant and Equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction, and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Assets acquired in a business combination are stated at estimated fair value. Costs associated with repair and maintenance are expensed as they are incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency of our property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are in operating income. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
Office Furniture & Equipment
 
5 Years
 
Earnings Per Share
 
Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”.  The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earnings (loss) per share.  Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.   Potentially dilutive common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.  The Company has no potentially dilutive common shares.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
 
NOTE 2. INCOME TAXES
 
GEX Management, Inc. has incurred losses since 2014.  Therefore, GEX has no federal tax liability.  The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward has been fully reserved.  The cumulative net operating loss carryforward is $377,121 and $78,282 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, all of which is available for carryforward for federal income tax purposes and will expire in fiscal years 2034 to 2036.  At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the deferred tax asset consisted of the following:
 
 
 
Dec 31, 2016
 
 
Dec 31, 2015
 
Deferred Tax Asset:
 
 
 
 
 
 
    Net Operating (Income) Loss
 $128,221 
 $26,616 
    Less Valuation Allowance
  (128,221)
  (26,616)
    Net Deferred Tax Asset
 $ 
 $ 
 
The change in the valuation allowance of $101,605 is due to the Company’s net loss of $298,839 during the year ended December 31, 2016.
 
The Company has no tax positions at December 31, 2016 and 2015 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.
 
The Company’s tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 are open for examination under Federal Statute of Limitations.
 
The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.  The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties since inception.
