1. BUSINESS
Business Done, Intended to Be Done, and General Development of Business (since inception)
EvolveX Equity Fund, LLC (the “Company”), is a real estate fund and operating company focused on the purchase, lease, management, and sale of real estate assets categorized as residential furnished vacation rental properties, and 10-unit and smaller multifamily furnished rental properties. The units within the multifamily properties will be a mix of short-term vacation rental and 1-year rental properties. The managing member of the Company is EvolveX Capital, LLC (the “Manager”), which will be responsible for acquiring, managing, leasing, and disposing of the Company’s investment properties and for providing certain administrative services, directly or indirectly through one or more affiliated or unaffiliated parties.
During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company sold 733 Class A Units for $332,824 net of $400,176 of issuance costs. During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company sold 1,250 Class A Units for $1,012,198 net of $237,802 of syndication costs.
Principal Products/Services
The Company’s primary focus is to generate attractive returns by investing in single family and multifamily properties that have a high probability of appreciating over a projected 10-year holding period. Additionally, the Manager will select “income-producing” properties – those that in the short-term have a positive monthly income after all expenses (mortgages, operating expenses, taxes) and maintenance reserves are paid. Each of the properties will then managed by an Affiliate company, EvolveX Dwell, LLC, during the holding period to maximize the appreciation for Investors.
EvolveX Dwell, will also work with the Manager to acquire properties for the Company. EvolveX Dwell and the Manager will shop properties year-round to discover opportunities in which to invest. EvolveX Dwell will focus on buying properties that offer opportunities to increase rents, occupancy, reduce concessions, while using Mr. Schley’s proprietary knowledge and strategies for improving customer service through smart management, positive customer experience and economies of scale.
In addition to the above criteria, the Company focuses on investments that should provide positive cash flow upon acquisition or the potential for cash flow in the future. The Company follows a very conservative investing model where the purchase price is based on trailing 12-month income calculations and worst-case scenario situations. The Manager has bought and sold real estate assets through various economic cycles and in different markets. The Manager’s goal is to continue to build wealth though real estate with well positioned acquisitions, highest quality property management and strategic dispositions.
Investment Strategy
The Company will use a proprietary 7-step grading system to identify a specific geographic market for investment, by utilizing investment fundamentals in order to reduce risk, and maximize potential returns. These steps include evaluating the following: (i) Market Amenities; (ii) Affordability; (iii) Demand; (iv) Zoning Regulations; (v) Revenue Growth; (vi) Seasonality; and Property Value Growth. After each of these categories is graded in a market, an overall grade will be assessed. The Company will seek to invest in geographic markets with an overall grade of A- to A+. Once a geographic market has been identified, the Company will identify specific properties using an income analysis which will include projected pro forma to estimate the income, occupancy, expenses and net operating income (“NOI”) of properties. The Company will use the NOI to estimate the capitalization rate for target properties.
Geographic Regions
The Company will initially focus mostly on opportunities in the Western and Southwestern portions of the United States and high potential international opportunities will also be taken into consideration. The Company may invest in other potential opportunities outside of these regions as they present themselves. The Company will initially consider investment properties in the following geographic areas: (i) Colorado (including the Central Rocky Mountain Region and the Front Range); (ii) Arizona; (iii) California (including Northern coastal, Southern, and Lake Tahoe); (iv) Hawaii; (v) Washington; (vi) Coastal Maine; and (vii) Costa Rica.
Principal Market for Products/Services
Potential Renters. The demographic profile of individuals who rent a dwelling versus a hotel are different. The Company’s target markets of potential renters will include: (i) families with small children; (ii) couples; (iii) larger groups; (iv) active vacationers; and (v) foodies and festivals.
Method of Distribution of Products/Services
To acquire tenants for the rental properties the Company will use: (i) Vacation Property Rental Sites; (ii) Independent Websites; and (iii) Social Media.
Vacation Property Rental Sites. The Manager will utilize the following top vacation property rental services, which will be managed by a single host:
Airbnb. Listing a property on Airbnb is free, however, the host is charged a 3% service fee on bookings. The guest pays a booking fee of 15%.
VRBO. VRBO offers a subscription model, and the host is charged $499 annually. The guest pays a booking fee of up to 12%.
Booking.com. Listing a property on Booking.com is free, however, they the host a 15% commission on bookings. Rental rates are typically adjusted upwards to account for this cost. The guest does not pay any additional fees.
TripAdvisor. Listing a property on TripAdvisor is free, however, the host is charged a 3% commission per booking. The guest pays a booking fee that ranges from 8% to 16%.
Expedia. Listing on Expedia is free, however, the host is charged a commission between 10% and 30%. Rental rates are typically adjusted upwards to account for this cost. The guest does not pay any additional fees.
There are also a significant number of smaller sources that will be utilized to market the rental properties.
Independent Websites. Each investment property will have its own website, which will be SEO optimized for search engine performance. Pushing potential renters to the website will reduce booking fees and maximize profitability. We estimate that each website can be developed at a cost of $3,000 per site.
Social Media. Social media pages will also be developed for each property and will be organically promoted throughout the various social media channels.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Members of
EvolveX Equity Fund, LLC
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of EvolveX Equity Fund, LLC (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated changes in members' equity, and consolidated cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated changes in members' equity, and consolidated cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
Note A – Nature of Business and Organization
EvolveX Equity Fund, LLC (“the Company”) was organized in June 2021 in the State of Colorado. The Company’s primary business is the high-quality management of real estate investment funds. The Company’s strategy is to create funds that will primarily focus on short-term vacation rental properties in emerging markets throughout the United States and Internationally.
Note B – Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s year-end is December 31.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and it’s wholly owned subsidiary Villas Espavel LLC ( “the Subidiary”). The Subsidiary is a limited liability company established for the general purpose of operations of it’s rental property. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high quality financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Other Current Assets
Other current assets consists of funds held in trust, funds held in escrow and security deposits.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of one residential rental property, stated at cost at the date of purchase, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over 27.5 years.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life.
Income Taxes
The Company is a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Colorado and has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal tax reporting purposes. As such, the Company does not pay federal or state income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the income is passed through to the members. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the financial statements.
The Company recognizes and discloses uncertain tax positions in accordance with GAAP. The Company evaluated its tax positions and determined it has no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023. The Company’s tax returns are subject to income tax examinations generally for a period of three years from the date of filing. The Company’s 2023 and 2022 tax years are open for examination for federal and state taxing authorities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note B – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on consideration specified in a rental contract with a customer for renting their residential property. Payment arrangements include contractually agreed upon pre-determined rates per rental day. Revenue is recognized as the rental obligations are satisfied. Deposits received from customers prior to their rental term are recorded as deferred rental income, a current liability, until the contractual rental obligations are satisfied.
The Company believes that this method provides a faithful depiction of the rental revenue.
Note C – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $118,809 and $21,097, respectively, and had negative cash flows from operations of $101,824 and $21,531, respectively. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon future sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. While the Company believes in the viability of its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The financial statements do not include adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 and 2022
Note F – Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Note G – Related Party Transactions
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company had a related party receivable of $3,159 and zero, respectively. The receivable is due to over payment of related party financing at year end.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company had a related party payable of zero and $9,582, respectively. The proceeds were used to fund operating expenses.
Asset Management Fee
In accordance with the operating agreement, effective June 9, 2021, the manager, or a designated affiliate of the manager, receives a 1% asset management fee on the total amount of capital contributions received by the Company. The asset management fee is due and payable on the first day of the first month following the date on which such a capital transaction occurs. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company paid a asset management fee of $28,924 and $11,377, respectively. The asset management fee was included in issuance costs as a contra-equity account against capital contributions for Class A Units issued.
