Columbus Acquisition Corp/Cayman Islands 10-Q

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Forward-Looking Statements This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. References to the “Company”, “us,” “our,” or “we” refer to Columbus Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes herein. Overview We are a blank check exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 18, 2024, for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “IPO”), our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt, in effecting a business combination. We have not selected any target business for our initial business combination. Initial Public Offering On January 24, 2025, we consummated our IPO of 6,000,000 units (“Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Ordinary Share”), and one right (the “Rights”) to receive one-seventh of one 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 $60,000,000. On January 24, 2025, substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 234,290 units (the “Private Units”) to our sponsor, Hercules Capital Management VII Corp (the “Sponsor”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per Initial Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $2,342,900. In connection with the offering of the Units and the sale of Initial Private Units, the proceeds of $60,000,000 from the proceeds of the offering of the Units and the sale of Initial Private Units were placed in the Trust Account (as defined below). In connection with the IPO, the Company issued a total of 210,000 Ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”) to A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, the representative of the underwriters of the IPO. The Representative Shares are identical to the Ordinary Shares included in the Units, except that the Representative has agreed not to transfer, assign, sell, pledge, or hypothecate any such Representative Shares, or subject such Representative Shares to hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person until 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), subject to exceptions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). The Representative has agreed to (i) vote for at a shareholder meeting of the Company to approve a business combination or any amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemptions in connection with a business combination, (ii) waive the redemption rights until the completion of the business combination, in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemptions in connection with a business combination, and (iii) waive the rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Representative Shares if the Company fails to complete its initial business combination within the prescribed timeline as provided in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, to the extent such Representative Shares held by the Representative and/or its designees, and any of their permitted transferees. 17 The proceeds of $60,000,000 from the IPO and the sales of Private Units, were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established for the benefit of our public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO 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 outside of the Trust Account, although substantially all the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a business combination and working capital. Since our IPO, our sole business activity has been identifying and evaluating suitable acquisition transaction candidates. We presently have no revenue and have had losses since inception from incurring general and administrative expenses. We have relied upon the sale of our securities and loans from the Sponsor to fund our operations. On March 17, 2025, the Ordinary Shares and Rights commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “COLA” and “COLAR,” respectively. Public Units not separated continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “COLAU.” Holders of Public Units will need to have their brokers contact the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in order to separate the holders’ Public Units into Ordinary Shares and Rights. 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 as well as activities related to the IPO. Following the IPO, we will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a business combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of dividend and/or interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO and sale of Private Units. Since the completion of the IPO, we expect to 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 three months ended September 30, 2025, we had a net income of $497,832, which consisted of interest income from the trust account (the “Trust Account”) of $629,947, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $132,115. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $12,364, all of which consisted of general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had a net income of $1,110,246, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $1,648,194, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $537,948. For the period from January 18, 2024 to September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $60,403, all of which consisted of general and administrative expenses. 18 Liquidity and Capital Resources As of September 30, 2025, we had cash of $638,311 and a working capital of $587,802. The cash balance was increased by $638,311 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which consisted of cash provided by financing activities of $61,066,688, partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $60,000,000 and operating activities of $428,377. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $48,093 of cash for operating activities. 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 affect 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. Over the next 12 months (assuming a business combination is not consummated prior thereto), we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, 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 a 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. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, 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 complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. The Company currently has no commitments in place to receive such financing and there is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital will be successful. In addition, the Company initially has until January 22, 2026 to consummate the initial business combination (assume no extensions). If the Company does not complete a business combination within the prescribed 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. Notwithstanding management’s belief that the Company would have sufficient funds to execute its business strategy, there is a possibility that a business combination might not be completed within the 12-month period from the issuance date of these financial statements. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard 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, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, management has determined that such additional conditions 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 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern. 19 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 Ordinary Shares included in the Private Units, and any 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 unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 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 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 Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements. 20 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.
