  Management has determined that conditions raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, reiterating a warning from the previous 10-Q filed on January 8, 2026.

• Multiple Nasdaq Non-Compliance Notices

  The company received new Nasdaq notices for failing to meet the $35 million minimum market value of listed securities (on November 19, 2025) and the minimum 300 public holders requirement (on August 8, 2025). This is in addition to a January 16, 2026 notice for failing to hold an annual shareholder meeting, which was previously reported in an 8-K on January 21, 2026.

• Material Weakness in Internal Controls

  Management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of September 30, 2025, due to a material weakness related to delays and errors in trust account investment activities.

• Termination of Backstop Agreement

  The company terminated a backstop agreement with Future Woods Investment Holding Limited on December 18, 2024, which would have provided $5 million in capital for the business combination.

Oak Woods Acquisition Corp's latest 10-Q reveals a highly precarious financial and operational state, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company is grappling with multiple Nasdaq non-compliance issues, including failing to meet minimum market value and public holder requirements, in addition to a previously disclosed failure to hold an annual meeting. Furthermore, management identified a material weakness in internal controls related to trust account investment activities. These issues, coupled with a pattern of late filings and the termination of a critical backstop agreement for its proposed merger, significantly increase the risk of delisting and cast a dark shadow over the company's future prospects and its ability to complete its business combination.
