Abstract: Recently, Andrews, Chan, Kim and Osburn introduced a $q$-series $h(q)$ for the study of the first positive rank and crank moments for overpartitions. They conjectured that for all integers $mgeq3$, �egin{equation*}label{hqcon} frac{1}{(q)_{infty}} (h(q) - m h(q^{m})) end{equation*} has positive power series coefficients for all powers of $q$. Byungchan Kim, Eunmi Kim and Jeehyeon Seo provided a combinatorial interpretation and proved it is asymptotically true by circle method. In this note, we show this conjecture is true if $m$ is any positive power of $2$, and we show that in order to prove this conjecture, it is only to prove it for all primes $m$. Moreover we give a stronger conjecture. Our method is very simple and completely different from that of Kim et al.
