File
No. 001-41986
Ladies
and Gentleman:
Australian
Oilseeds Holding Limited (the " Company ," " we ," " our " or " us ")
hereby transmits the Company's response to the comment letter received from the staff (the " Staff ") of the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the " Commission "), on February 6, 2025, regarding Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year
Ended June 30, 2024 submitted to the Commission on December 3, 2024, as amended on Form 10-K/A submitted to the Commission on December
6, 2025. Concurrently with this response, the Company has submitted Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A pursuant to the Staff's comment
(the " Form 10-K/A ").
For
the Staff's convenience, we have repeated below the Staff's comments in bold and have followed each comment with the Company's
response. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter have the meanings as defined in the Form 10-K/A.
Form
10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures, page 52
1.
Please amend your filing to disclose management's conclusions regarding the effectiveness
of your disclosure controls and procedures. See Item 307 of Regulation S-K.
Response:
We acknowledge the Staff's comment and advise the Staff that the Company mistakenly believed that it was not required to provide
a disclosure under Item 9A. Controls and Procedures of its original filing on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 due to
a transition period established by rules of the Commission for newly public companies . In response to the Staff's comment,
the Company amended and refiled its Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 to add the requested disclosure under Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures that provides, as follows:
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed
under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's regulations,
rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal officers, as appropriate,
to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving
the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
controls and procedures.
As
required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form
10-K. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K as a result of the material
weakness described below.
Notwithstanding
these material weaknesses, management has concluded that our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are fairly
stated in all material respects in accordance with IFRS for each of the periods presented herein.
No
Management Assessment Regarding Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This
report does not include a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR")
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) as allowed by the SEC for such transactions in which the legal
acquirer is a non-operating public shell company, the internal controls of the legal acquirer may no longer exist as of the assessment
date or the assets, liabilities, and operations may be insignificant when compared to the consolidated entity pursuant to Section 215.02
of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance's Regulation S-K Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation s.
As
discussed elsewhere in this report, we completed the Business Combination on March 21, 2024, pursuant to which EDOC merged with and into
Merger Sub (the "Merger"), with EDOC continuing as the surviving entity, as a result of which, EDOC became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, and each issued and outstanding security of EDOC prior to the Closing Date was cancelled in exchange for the
receipt of substantially identical securities of the Company. Also on the Closing Date, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
ordinary shares of AOI from the Sellers in exchange for the Company's ordinary shares. As a result, previously existing internal
controls are no longer applicable or comprehensive enough as of the assessment date as our operations prior to the Merger were insignificant
compared to those of the consolidated entity post-Merger. The design of our internal control over financial reporting following the Merger
has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from management and other personnel. Because of this, the design
and ongoing development of our framework for implementation and evaluation of internal control over financial reporting is in its preliminary
stages. If management were to conduct an assessment regarding our internal control over financial reporting, however, its scope would
include the criteria set forth by the Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission. Based on an initial assessment, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective
as of June 30, 2024, because of the material weakness described below.
Material
Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Although
management did not conduct a formal assessment of internal control over financial reporting, in connection with the audits of our consolidated
financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, management concluded that we did not employ sufficient accounting resources
with appropriate experience and technical expertise to effectively execute controls over certain judgmental and technical accounting
areas which resulted in late filing of its Original 10-K. Therefore, management concluded that we did not have a comprehensive and formalized
accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures manual which details the information needed for our financial reporting process
and that we did not have a robust review process by which management could monitor for potential errors or technical accounting requirements,
which have resulted in material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024.
The
material weaknesses above did not result in a misstatement to the consolidated financial statements.
In
response, our management team has established a remediation plan to address the previously disclosed material weaknesses. While we have
taken actions to remediate this material weakness, including (i) recruiting and employing personnel with appropriate experience and technical
expertise to enhance management's assessment of judgmental and technical accounting areas, (ii) conducting additional training
for staff involved in judgmental and technical accounting areas, and (iii) engaging additional independent third-party technical consultants
to assist in performing accounting analyses of complex transactions, completion of our remediation efforts is ongoing. As such management
has concluded the aforementioned material weakness has not been remediated as of June 30, 2024. The Company may also identify additional
measures that may be required to remediate the material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting,
necessitating further action.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except
for the identified material weakness noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Australian Oilseeds Holding

the Company’s response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on December 19, 2023, regarding our Registration Statement on Form F-4 submitted
to the Commission on December 8, 2023. Concurrently with this response, the Company has submitted an Amendment No. 1 to our Registration

What equity stake will current Public Shareholders,
..., page 28
1. We
note the disclosures you added regarding ELOC Pubco Commitment Shares and ELOC Pubco Ordinary Shares, in the tabular presentation of
Potential sources of dilution, including the disclosures related to how the share amounts were calculated in the footnotes. Given that,
after the Business Combination, the ordinary shares of Pubco will not be redeemable, it appears possible this could result in a material
decline in the price per share of Pubco ordinary shares relative to the price per share of EDOC shares. Please revise the footnotes to
the table that explain how the share amounts were calculated to also quantify and disclose the potential impact on the share amounts
included in the table based on a range of fixed changes in the price per share of Pubco ordinary shares after the Business Combination
relative to the assumed price per share you used to calculate the share amounts in the table. Please provide similar disclosures when
you disclose and discuss shares subject to the ELOC, including in the related risk factor on page 88. To the extent that other potential
sources of dilution could be materially impacted by declines in the price per share of Pubco ordinary shares after the Business combination,
please provide similar disclosures.
Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and advises that in response it has revised the footnotes on pages 30-31 of the Registration Statement accordingly,
and provided similar disclosures on pages 44, 124 and 240, including in the related risk factor and the additional risk factor added,
on pages 88-89.

2. Based on disclosures in the forepart of the filing, we note
the Business Combination is subject to a Minimum Cash Condition of $10 million that you previously indicated cannot be waived; however,
it does not appear either pro forma redemption scenario you present will currently satisfy this condition. As previously requested, please
revise the pro forma financial statements or explain how and why you believe they appropriately reflect the range of possible results
as required by Rule 11-02(a)(10) of Regulation S-X.
Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and advises that it has updated the disclosure in the Registration Statement to reflect the waiver of the minimum cash condition, which was agreed upon
by the parties, effective January 12, 2024.

of net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2023 in MD&A on page 213.
Response: The Company acknowledges the

However, the purchase agreement filed as exhibit 10.33 appears to be dated December 6, 2023 and appears to be in execution form. Please
revise or advise.
Response: The Company acknowledges the
Staff’s comment and advises and confirms that the ELOC purchase agreement will be executed at closing of the business combination.
The Company has made minor amendments in Exhibit 10.33 to reflect the agreement’s draft form.
General
6. We note your response to prior comment 3 and your inclusion
of updated annual audited financial statements for Australian Oilseeds Investments for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 in the filing;
however, we note numerous instances in which related disclosures have not been appropriately updated or revised. For example:
● Several risk factors that present financial disclosures, including on pages 91, 92, 93, and 94, have
not been updated;
● MD&A disclosures on pages 208-210 appear to be essentially duplicated on pages 210-211 and pages
211-212;
● The reference to the audited financial statements included in the filing under Experts on page 250
has not been updated; and
● You continue to include interim financial statements on pages F-77 to F-96.
Please ensure the disclosures noted above,
as well as any other applicable disclosures, are appropriately updated or revised based on the inclusion of updated annual audited financial
statements now included in the filing.
Response: The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and advises in response that it has revised its disclosures throughout the Registration Statement
accordingly, including the risk factors (see pages 94-97, 211-215 and F-58-F-76).
7. We note your response to prior comment 9 and reissue our comment.
Response: The Company acknowledges the
Staff’s comment and advises that the tables on pages 29-30 of the Registration Statement and elsewhere have been updated to reflect
the ownership interest of the EDOC Public Shareholders and others as a result of the potential sources of dilution.

What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to me?, page 22
2.We note your response to prior comment 5. Please reconcile the disclosure on page 22
that the holder "generally should not recognize any gain or loss on such exchange" with
the disclosure on page 115 that the holder "will not recognize any gain or loss on such

exchange."
3.It appears from the statement in the last paragraph of exhibit 8.1 that the firm consents "to
the use of our name under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement and
to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement." However, the
firm's name does not appear under the heading "Legal Matters" but does appear under
other headings in the Registration Statement not mentioned in the last paragraph of exhibit
8.1. For example, we note the disclosure on page 22. Please advise or revise accordingly.
Post-Business Combination Corporate Structure, page 42
4.We note your response to comment number 8. Please revise the Post-Transaction Chart
to address the following:
•Revise or clarify why the ownership percentages for Australian Oilseeds Holdings
Limited do not total 100%, including why percentages related to the former AOI
Shareholders and the EDOC Public Shareholders, disclosed here, do not agree to
percentages disclosed on page 25 and throughout the filing; and
•We note you added an additional box related to Other Minority Shareholders that
indicates they have a 14% ownership interest in Cowcumbla Investments Pty Ltd.
We also note Australian Oilseeds Investments Pty Ltd has an 82.7% ownership
interest and other Australia Based Minority Shareholders have a 17.3% ownership
interest. Revise or clarify the nature of the Other Minority Shareholders and correct
the related disclosures since it is not clear how three groups can have ownership
interests that exceed 100%.

12.We note your response to prior comment 25 and your reference to "Risk
Factors — Provisions in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of
Association may inhibit a takeover of Pubco, which could limit the price investors might
be willing to pay in the future for Pubco’s securities and could entrench management.”

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements, page 135

•If the minimum cash condition can not be waived, clarify that fact and explain how
the pro forma financial statements appropriately reflect the range of possible results
as required by Rule 11-02(a)(10) of Regulation S-X.
14.We note your response to comment number 27 and the disclosures throughout the filing
related to the net tangible asset requirement. We also note disclosures that the pro forma
scenario that assumes maximum redemptions also assumes that the proposal to eliminate
the net tangible asset requirement is approved. Please tell us your consideration of
presenting and additional pro forma scenario that reflects the maximum number of shares
that could be redeemed and still allow the business combination to occur if the proposal to
eliminate the net tangible asset requirement is not approved so that the pro forma financial
statements reflect the range of possible results as required by Rule 11-02(a)(10) of
Regulation S-X.

12.Due to the fact that the registrant’s historical financial statement are prepared in
accordance with IFRS, the disclosure here and, in other parts of the filing (for example, on
page 99), that the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger in
accordance with U.S. GAAP does not appear to be accurate and is not consistent with
disclosures in the pro forma financial statements. Please clarify or revise.
Selected Historical Financial Information of AOI, page 48
13.You disclose the selected historical financial information is derived from AOI’s audited
financial statements as of and for the years ended June 2022 and 2021 and AOI’s
unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2022
and 2021; however, it does not appear these financial statements are included in the
filing. Please clarify.

14.Please highlight the material risks to public warrant holders, including those arising from
differences between private and public warrants. Clarify whether recent common stock
trading prices exceed the threshold that would allow the company to redeem public

87% and 83%, respectively, of our total revenue from the sale of cold pressed vegetable

oils.

terms of the transaction, including, but not limited to, structure, consideration, proposals
and counter-proposals and size of PIPE. In your revised disclosure, please explain the
reasons for the terms, each party's position on the issues, and how you reached agreement
on the final terms.
19.Please revise to elaborate on why EDOC did not pursue the targets referenced on pages
91-92.

20.Please revise this section to discuss in greater detail how the parties agreed on the amount

Certain Projected Financial Information, page 96
21.We note your disclosure on page 98. Please clarify the role, if any, of I-Bankers in
determining the valuation of AOI. Also, tell us why you refer on page 98 to Coota instead
of AOI.
22.Please revise to clarify the material assumptions and estimates underlying the projected
financial information in the table on page 98, including those references in the three
paragraphs after the table. Please describe such assumptions with greater specificity and
quantify where practicable. Please disclose any other information to facilitate investor
understanding of the basis for and limitations of these projections. Please specifically
address the significant differences in your historical revenue and market share from your
future projections, including those that are multiple years into the future.
23.Please reconcile the references on page 98 to "certain comparable companies" and
"companies such as AOI" with the reference on page 97 to "It is a challenge to value AOI
due to its unique business model and few direct competitors."
24.We note your disclosure that AOI’s management provided EDOC with four-
year forecasted revenues and EBITDA. Please revise to include the EBITDA
projections.
Proposed Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Pubco, page 111

appears in your disclosure. Also, in the third paragraph of this section, you refer to a risk

factor related to anti-takeover provisions, but no such risk factor appears in your
disclosure. Please advise or revise accordingly.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements, page 121
26.Refer to page 121. Please revise or clarify the disclosures that the historical unaudited
financial statements of EDOC as of June 30, 2022, and the related notes, and the historical
unaudited financial statements of EDOC for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and
2021, and the related notes, are included in the proxy statement/prospectus.
27.Refer to page 122. We note the Maximum Redemption pro forma scenario assumes
EDOC public shareholders holding 1,454,928 shares of EDOC Class A ordinary shares
will exercise redemption rights and reflects the maximum number of EDOC’s Public
Shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination
Agreement or the requirement that EDOC cannot redeem Public Shares if it would result
in EDOC having a minimum net tangible asset value of less than USD$5,000,000;
however, we note inconsistencies in the disclosures related to this requirement throughout
the filing. We note certain disclosures imply the minimum net tangible asset value
requirement is required to be meet "prior to, or upon consummation of, the Business
Combination"; however, other disclosures imply the requirement is required to be meet
"as of the closing of a Business Combination" and "after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination". Please clarify and consistently disclose
what the net tangible asset requirement is and when it is required to be meet. Please also
revise the filing to demonstrate how you determined the Maximum Redemption scenario
you present meets the requirement. If accurate, please specifically disclose the Business
Combination will not occur if EDOC public shareholders holding more than
1,454,928 shares of EDOC Class A ordinary shares exercise redemption rights, if not
accurate, explain how the current Maximum Redemption scenario is appropriate.
28.Refer to page 123. In regard to the table that sets forth the share ownership on a pro
forma basis under the No Redemption and Maximum Redemption scenarios, please
reconcile the share amounts related to EDOC to the share amounts presented in EDOC's
historical financial statements. Please clarify if the share amounts presented in the table
have been adjusted for the cash redemptions that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet
date, if not, explain why including such shares is appropriate.
29.Refer to page 124. We note under the Maximum Redemption pro forma scenario you
reflect negative cash of AUD$(5.6) million as of June 30, 2022. Please be advised the
purpose of pro forma financial statements is to provide investors with sufficient
information about the impact of probable transactions to allow them to make informed
investment decisions. In this regard, it is not clear how you determined it is appropriate to
present a negative cash balance in the pro forma financial statements since it does not
appear to reflect an outcome that can actually occur, absent an agreement to fund the cash
shortfall. Please revise the pro forma financial statements to comply with Article 11 of
Regulation S-X or explain why you believe the current presentation is appropriate.

30.Refer to page 126. We note the five expense line items below occupancy costs do not
appear to be appropriately reflected in the pro forma total columns. Please clarify or
revise.
31.Refer to note 2 on page 127. We note EDOC’s historical financial statements were
required to be translated into AUD$s. We also note because AOI and EDOC have
different fiscal year ends, in order to meet the pro forma requirements of combining
operating results for an annual period that ends within 93 days of the end of AOI’s latest
annual fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, EDOC’s financial results for the twelve months
ended June 30, 2022, were calculated by taking EDOC’s results for the year ended
December 31, 2021, minus EDOC’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2021, plus
EDOC’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2022. In order for shareholders to
better understand how the financial information for EDOC included in the pro forma
financial statements correlates to EDOC's historical financial statements presented in the
filing, please revise the footnote to demonstrate how the financial information for EDOC
was determined. It appears the disclosures should be presented in a columnar format
beginning with amounts presented in EDOC’s historical financial statements with
additional columns adding and/or subtracting the periods required to determine the
comparative annual period included in the pro forma financial statements. It also appears
those disclosures should then be used to demonstrate how EDOC’s comparative financial
statements were translated into AUD$s.
32.Refer to Note 5(A) on page 130. We note this adjustment reflects AUD$9.7 million,
removed from the Trust Account to pay redemptions to EDOC Public Shareholders who
exercised redemption rights subsequent to the date of EDOC’s historical balance sheet
included in the pro forma financial statements, within transaction accounting adjustments.
Please address the following:
•In order to allow shareholders to more clearly evaluate the financial condition of
EDOC prior to the proposed Business Combination and to comply with Rule 11-
02(b)(4) of Regulation S-X, revise the pro forma balance sheet to present a separate
column to reflect adjustment A and to provide a subtotal column for EDOC reflecting
this adjustment but prior to the Transaction Accounting Adjustments;
•Disclose and discuss the cash redemptions and the impact on EDOC's balance sheet
in the headnote to the pro forma financial statements; and
•Revise the heading of the No Redemption scenario to indicate it represents No
Additional Redemption, given the historical redemptions that have occurred. Ensure
you revise this heading throughout the filing.
33.Refer to Note 5(C) on page 130. Please address the need to reflect the impact of
transaction costs recorded in accumulated
