Material Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Period

The filing reports total amounts due under the stockholder note of $64,403, including $2,278 of accrued interest; the presentation of these amounts across the balance sheet accounts should be reconciled.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

  • The company expects to incur costs for SEC reporting and acquisition investigations and expects to fund operations through additional borrowings, equity financing, related-party advances, or a future reverse merger.
  • Management states that the company’s losses, approximately $62,000 of negative working capital, and approximately $62,000 stockholders’ deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following issuance of the financial statements.
  • The company had only $4,679 of cash at period-end and cautioned that additional funding may not be available.
  • The stockholder note bears interest at 6% annually and is generally repayable upon consummation of a business combination. Upon an event of default, the rate may increase to 18% after the specified grace period.
  • The company has approximately $62,000 of net operating loss carryforwards and a related deferred tax asset of approximately $13,000, fully offset by a valuation allowance. No income tax provision was recorded.

  • Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2018, with no material changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter.

Investor Verification Priorities

  1. Verify the issuer identity: the supplied filing names Olivia Ventures, Inc., while the request identifies Compass Therapeutics, Inc.
  2. Reconcile the $62,125 stockholder note balance, $4,278 of accounts payable and accrued expenses, and the disclosed $64,403 total amount due including interest.
  3. Confirm the company’s ability to obtain additional financing and the terms, maturity, and repayment priority of future related-party advances.
  4. Assess whether a business combination target has been identified or whether any transaction occurred after December 31, 2018.
  5. Evaluate the going-concern uncertainty given $4,679 of cash, no revenue, negative working capital, and continuing operating losses.
  6. Review potential dilution and ownership changes associated with any future reverse merger or equity financing, including possible limitations on use of net operating losses under Section 382.
