A sample of 542 eclipsing binaries (EBs) with periods shorter than 2 days was selected from the Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) EB catalogue (Li et al.) for eclipse-time variation analysis. For this sample, we were able to obtain a time series from MOA-II spanning 9.5 yr. We discovered 91 EBs, out of the 542 EBs, with detected light-travel-time effect signals suggesting the presence of tertiary companions with orbiting periods from 250 d-28 yr. The frequency of EBs with tertiary companions in our sample increases as the period decreases and reaches a value of 0.65 for contact binaries with periods shorter than 0.3 d. If only those contact binaries with periods <0.26 d are considered, the frequency even goes to unity. Our results suggest that contact binaries with periods close to the 0.22-d contact binary limit are commonly accompanied by relatively close tertiary companions.
