Material Changes Versus the Comparable Period

  • Net loss increased by $2,988, or approximately 35%, from $8,474 to $11,462.
  • General and administrative expenses increased by $2,424, or approximately 31%, while interest expense nearly doubled from $580 to $1,144.
  • Operating cash flow improved from $(7,894) to $0 because the 2019 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses offset the net loss.

  • Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased from $3,330 at March 31, 2019 to $14,792 at June 30, 2019, while the stockholder note balance shown on the balance sheet remained $72,125.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

  • Management expects to continue searching for a suitable acquisition or merger candidate and anticipates costs for SEC reporting and transaction investigations.
  • The company has generated no revenue since inception and has no definitive agreement or specific discussions with a potential business-combination candidate as of the filing date.
  • Management states that accumulated losses, negative working capital, limited cash, and dependence on additional financing raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following issuance of the financial statements.
  • Management plans to fund operations through additional stockholder borrowings, equity financing, or financing associated with a reverse merger, but the filing provides no assurance that funding will be available.
  • In August 2019, subsequent to quarter-end, the company received an additional $6,000 advance under the stockholder note.
  • The company’s office space is provided at no charge by the sole officer and a stockholder. No material off-balance-sheet arrangements or material legal proceedings were reported.
  • The company is a shell company, smaller reporting company, and emerging growth company. It has elected the JOBS Act extended transition period for certain accounting standards.
  • The filing states that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019, with no material changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

  • Confirm the filing entity: the source document identifies Olivia Ventures, Inc., whereas the request identifies Compass Therapeutics, Inc.
  • Verify the reporting period, since the request labels the filing “2019 Q1,” while the filing covers the three months ended June 30, 2019.
  • Reconcile the stockholder note, accrued interest, and accounts payable classifications, including the filing’s $72,125 balance-sheet note amount and $76,600 total amount due.
  • Assess the going-concern risk and the company’s ability to obtain additional related-party or equity financing.
  • Determine whether a business-combination target has been identified after the filing date and whether the August 2019 $6,000 advance was sufficient to fund ongoing obligations.
