Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of Cayman Island on June 13, 2023, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the IPO, our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt, in effecting a business combination. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location but will initially focus on Asia. We have not selected any target business for our initial business combination.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.
Initial Public Offering and Private Placement
On July 3, 2024, the Company consummated its IPO of 5,000,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Shares and one Right to receive one-fifth of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the completion of the initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $50,000,000. On July 3, 2024, the Representative notified the Company of its exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in full. As a result, on July 8, 2024, 750,000 Option Units were sold to the Representative, generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the sale of the Option Units, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 228,000 Private Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,280,000, collectively.
The proceeds of $57,500,000 ($10.00 per Public Unit) in the aggregate from the IPO and the Private Placement and sale of the Option Units, were placed in the trust account (the “Trust Account) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.
Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement that are held out of the Trust Account, although substantially all the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a business combination and working capital.
On March 20, 2025, our board of directors accepted the resignation of Dr. M. Anthony Wong, the independent director, resigning from his position as a director of the Company. Concurrently, the Company, by ordinary resolutions of its directors, appointed Mr. Cameron Richard Johnson as the independent director of the Company to fill the vacancy, effective immediately. Mr. Cameron Richard Johnson was also appointed as the chairperson of the Audit Committee and a member of the Compensation Committee. We entered into an Indemnity Agreement with Mr. Johnson on March 20, 2025, accordingly.
In connection with the appointment of Mr. Johnson as the director of the Company, the Sponsor issued a share purchase option dated March 20, 2025 (the “Share Purchase Option”) to Mr. Johnson, entitling Mr. Johnson to acquire 10,000 ordinary shares of the Company held by the Sponsor (the “Founder Shares”) upon the exercise of the Share Purchase Option once the existing lock-up term on such Founder Shares expires pursuant to the terms and arrangements thereunder.
Proposed Business Combination with Marine Thinking
On October 29, 2025, EURK entered into a business combination agreement (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA”), with Marine Thinking Inc. (“Marine Thinking”), a company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) and 17358750 Canada Inc., a company incorporated under the CBCA and a wholly-owned subsidiary of EURK (the “Amalgamation Sub,” together with EURK and Marine Thinking, the “Parties, “and each, a “Party”). Marine Thinking is an autonomous ship and fleet solution providing company.
The BCA contemplates that the business combination among EURK, Marine Thinking and Amalgamation Sub will be completed through the following series of transactions, (i) prior to the time when the Amalgamation (as defined below) becomes effective (the “Amalgamation Effective Time”), EURK shall complete the deregistration as a Cayman Islands exempted company in accordance with section 206 of the Companies Act and, immediately upon such deregistration, the domestication to Canada under the CBCA (the “SPAC Continuance”). Upon the completion of the SPAC Continuance, the name of EURK shall be changed from “Eureka Acquisition Corp” to “Marine Thinking Holdings Inc.” or such other name as the Parties may agree on; and (ii) following the SPAC Continuance, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the BCA and in accordance with the CBCA, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (the “Closing”), Marine Thinking and the Amalgamation Sub shall amalgamate and continue as one company, being the Amalco (“Amalco”), under the terms and conditions prescribed in the amalgamation agreement to be signed by Marine Thinking and Amalgamation Sub and in accordance with section 181 of the CBCA (the “Amalgamation”). Following the Amalgamation Effective Time, Amalco will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of EURK.
The Continuance, the Amalgamation, and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination” or the “Transactions.” The closing of the Business Combination shall take place electronically by remote exchange of the closing deliverables as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the fifth (5) business day, following the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law or waiver) of the conditions set forth in the BCA (the “Closing Date”) or at such other place, date and/or time as EURK and Marine Thinking may agree in writing.
June 2025 Shareholder Meeting
On June 30, 2025, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”).
At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders of the Company approved the proposal (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) to amend the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, which provided that the Company has until July 3, 2025 to complete a business combination, and may elect to extend the period to consummate a business combination up to two times, each by an additional three-month extension, for a total of up to six months to January 3, 2026, be deleted in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Current Charter”) to provide that the Company has until July 3, 2025 to complete a business combination, and may elect to extend the period to consummate a business combination up to 12 times, each by an additional one-month extension (the “Monthly Extension”), for a total of up to 12 months to July 3, 2026. The Company agreed that it would not withdraw any interest from the Trust Account for payment of dissolution expenses.
In connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, 2,819,767 Class A Ordinary Shares were rendered for redemption, and approximately $29 million was released from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming shareholders.
Trust Amendment
In connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company entered into an amendment to the trust agreement dated July 2, 2024 (the “Trust Amendment”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The Trust Amendment provides that, among other things, for each Monthly Extension, the amount of $150,000 (the “Monthly Extension Fee”) shall be deposited into the Trust Account, and, in the event that the Monthly Extension Fee is not being deposited into the trust account by the 3rd day of each month since July 3, 2025, the Company has a period of thirty (30) days (the “Cure Period”) to pay any applicable past due payment for the Monthly Extension Fee. If the Company fails to make any applicable past due payment during the Cure Period, then the Company shall immediately cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, and liquidate and dissolve with the same effect as if the Company failed to complete a business combination within the prescribed timeline.
Extensions and Extension Notes
Pursuant to the Current Charter, the Company currently has until January 3, 2026 to complete its business combination, which may be extended up to July 3, 2026 if fully extended by Monthly Extensions. As of the date hereof, an aggregate of $900,000 of the Monthly Extension Fee has been deposited into the Trust Account, among which $150,000 was paid by the Company from its working capital and $600,000 was paid by the Sponsor. In connection with the Sponsor’s payment of the Monthly Extension Fee, the Company issued five unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 (the “Extension Notes”) to the Sponsor. The Extension Notes bear no interest and are payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of a business combination or (ii) the date of expiry of the term of the Company. The Sponsor, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Extension Notes, in whole or in part, respectively, into private units (the “Conversion Units”) of the Company, each consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of a business combination. The number of Conversion Units to be received by the Sponsor in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the Sponsor by (y) $10.00.
Working Capital Loans
On August 25, 2025, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Working Capital Note” and, together with the Extension Notes, the “Notes”) in the principal amount of up to $300,000 to the Sponsor. The proceeds of the Working Capital Note, which may be drawn down from time to time until the Company consummates its initial business combination, will be used as general working capital purposes (the “Working Capital Loans”).
The Working Capital Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the Maturity Date. The Sponsor, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Working Capital Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into Conversion Units upon the consummation of a business combination, as described in the prospectus of the Company (File No: 333-277780), by providing the Company with written notice of the intention to convert at least two business days prior to the closing of the business combination. The number of Conversion Units to be received by the Sponsor in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the Sponsor by (y) $10.00.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO. Following the IPO, we have not generated any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after the IPO. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. After the IPO, we incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for expenses associated with the search for target opportunities.
For the year ended September 30, 2025, we had a net income of $1,370,753, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $2,230,500 offset by general and administrative expenses of $859,747. Cash used in operating activities was $668,921. Net income was offset by interest earned on investment held in the Trust Account. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $190,826 of cash for operating activities.
For the year ended September 30, 2024, we had a net income of $255,721, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $609,787 offset by general and administrative expenses of $354,066. Cash used in operating activities was $282,509. Net income was offset by interest earned on investment held in the Trust Account. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $33,078 of cash for operating activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025, we had $51,431 of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the IPO, and available for working capital purposes.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO, including the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our share capital is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to us from the Trust Account is less than we expect as a result of the current interest rate environment, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial business combination. Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash of $51,431 and a working capital deficiency of $625,273. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The Company currently has no commitments to receive such financing and there is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital will be successful. In addition, the Company has until January 3, 2026 (or up to July 3, 2026 if fully extended) to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards “Codification Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, along with the need to receive additional financing, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2025, we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
The Founder Shares, the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Private Units, and any Class A Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Extension Loans (and any underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into in connection with the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing these audited consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the audited consolidated financial statements and the reported expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in in its annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
