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.
20
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.
Proposed
Transactions
On
November 9, 2025, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “BCA”) with WISeSat.Space Holdings Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“Pubco”),
WISeSat Merger Sub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), WISeSat.Space
Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (the “Target”), and WISeKey International Holding Ltd., a Swiss company
(together with its successors, including after its anticipated domestication to the British Virgin Islands prior to the Closing, the
“Seller”). Pursuant to the BCA, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the BCA (the “Closing”), CAC will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco; and each issued and outstanding
CAC Security (as defined in the BCA) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (as defined in the BCA) shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares. Following
the Merger, the Seller may distribute up to 10% of its Pubco shares to its own shareholders at its discretion. The transactions contemplated
by the BCA and the Ancillary Documents are referred to herein as the “Transactions.”
The
Transactions will be submitted to shareholders of the Company for approval at an extraordinary general meeting. Pubco, together with
the Company, will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a proxy statement/prospectus on Form F-4 (the
“Business Combination Proxy Statement”) in connection with the proposed Transactions. On December 29, 2025, CAC and
WISeKey International Holding AG jointly announced the confidential submission of a draft of the Business Combination Proxy Statement
by Pubco with the SEC on December 23, 2025. Pursuant to the Company’s Charter, the Company currently has until January 22,
2027 to complete the Transactions, if fully extended.
Share
Exchange Consideration
Immediately
prior to the Effective Time, in full payment for the Company Shares, Pubco shall issue and deliver to the Seller the Exchange Shares
with an aggregate value (the “Exchange Consideration”) equal to the sum of (i) Two Hundred Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($250,000,000),
plus (ii) the amount of any Transaction Financing (as defined in the BCA) that is made into the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to
the Closing, with each Pubco Ordinary Share valued at Ten U.S. Dollars ($10.00). The Exchange Shares will be allocated between Pubco
Ordinary Shares and Pubco Class F Shares in proportion to the number of Company Ordinary Shares and Company Class F Shares owned by Seller
at the time of the Share Exchange.
The
Pubco Class F Shares shall, in the aggregate, be entitled to 49.9% of the total vote on any matter voted on by the holders of Pubco Shares,
and the Pubco Class F Shares will automatically convert into Pubco Ordinary Shares upon certain transfers in accordance with the Company
Organizational Documents.
21
Treatment
of CAC Securities; Merger Consideration
Pursuant
to the BCA, (a) immediately prior to the Effective Time, every issued and outstanding CAC Unit shall be automatically detached, and the
holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one CAC Ordinary Share and one CAC Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable CAC Unit
(the “Unit Separation”); (b) immediately prior to the Effective Time and immediately following the Unit Separation, each
issued and outstanding CAC Right (including the CAC Rights held as a result of the Unit Separation) shall be automatically converted
into one-seventh of one CAC Ordinary Share; (c) at the Effective Time, every issued and outstanding CAC Ordinary Share (including each
CAC Ordinary Share converted from CAC Rights pursuant to (b) above and each CAC Ordinary Share held as a result of the Unit Separation,
other than the Excluded Shares, the Dissenting Shares and the Redeemed Shares (each as defined in the BCA)) shall become and be converted
automatically into the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share, following which, all CAC Ordinary Shares shall cease to be outstanding
and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist.
At
the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, all Merger Sub Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall be converted into an equal number ordinary shares of the Surviving Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as
the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding issued shares of the Surviving Company.
Sponsor
Agreement
Simultaneously
with the execution and delivery of the BCA, CAC, the Target, Pubco and the Sponsor entered into a sponsor agreement (the “Sponsor
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Sponsor agreed,
among other things, (a) to vote in favor of the BCA and the Transactions and against any alternative transaction; (b) during the term
of the Sponsor Agreement, not to transfer and to cause its affiliates not to transfer any of the Sponsor Shares (as defined therein)
except as permitted thereby; (c) during the term of the Sponsor Agreement, not to redeem any Sponsor Shares (as defined therein) and
convert all CAC rights held by it into the underlying CAC Ordinary Shares; (d) to pay for CAC Expenses (as defined in the BCA) in excess
of the CAC Expense Cap (as defined in the BCA); (e) to take timely actions to extend CAC’s deadline to complete the Business Combination
as necessary to consummate the Closing; and (f) that any working capital loans made to CAC (including for any Extension Payments) will
at the Closing be either, as requested by the Target, repaid in cash or converted into CAC Working Capital Units in accordance with the
IPO Prospectus (excluding after CAC has fully utilized its existing working capital as of the Signing Date, up to $400,000 in working
capital loans made prior to the Closing to CAC by third parties (excluding the Target) or members of the Sponsor, in either case, that
are not affiliates of CAC, the Sponsor or CAC’s management or directors, even if such loans are indirectly made through the Sponsor,
as to which the repayment terms will be as provided as disclosed in the IPO Prospectus). The Sponsor Agreement will terminate on the
earliest of (i) the mutual written consent of CAC, the Target and Sponsor, (ii) the Closing of the Transactions, or (iii) the termination
of the BCA in accordance with its terms.
Insider
Letter Amendment
Simultaneously
with the execution and delivery of the BCA, CAC, Pubco, the Sponsor, the Target and CAC’s directors and officers entered into an
amendment (the “Insider Letter Amendment”) to the letter agreement that was entered into by and among CAC, the Sponsor and
certain other member of CAC’s board of directors and/or management team on January 22, 2025 (the “Insider Letter”).
Pursuant to the Insider Letter Amendment, the parties amended the letter agreement to (a) give the Target and Pubco rights to enforce
the terms of the Insider Letter; (b) effective as of the Closing, assign the rights and obligations of CAC under the Insider Letter to
Pubco; and (c) provide that the lock-up period applicable to the Pubco Ordinary Shares issued in exchange for the Founder Shares (as
defined in the BCA) pursuant to the BCA will be identical to the lock-up period set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement (as defined below).
Lock-up
Agreement
Simultaneously
with the execution and delivery of the BCA, CAC, Pubco and the Seller entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-up Agreement”),
which, among other things, provides for certain restrictions on the transfer of certain Pubco Ordinary Shares by the Seller and other
holders who become Pubco’s shareholders as a result of the Seller Distribution following the Closing, as further described
below and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Lock-up Agreement.
Pursuant
to the Lock-up Agreement, from and after the Closing, the Seller and other holders who become Pubco shareholders as a result
of the Seller Distribution shall not Transfer (as defined in the Lock-up Agreement) any of the Restricted Securities (as defined in the
Lock-up Agreement) until the earlier of: (a) the six month anniversary of the date of the Closing; (b) the date (but not less than 60
days after the Closing) on which the closing price of the Pubco Ordinary Shares exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within a 30-day
trading period following the Closing; and (c) the date after the Closing on which Pubco consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange,
reorganization or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of Pubco’s shareholders having
the right to exchange their equity holdings in Pubco for cash, securities or other property.
22
January
2026 Extension Meeting
On
January 16, 2026, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”),
where the shareholders of the Company approved the proposal (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) that the Company’s Amended
and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, which provided that the Company has until January 22, 2026 to complete a business
combination, be deleted in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles
of Association (the “Amended Charter”) to provide that the Company has until January 22, 2026 to complete a business combination,
and may elect to extend the period to consummate a business combination up to twelve times, each by an additional one-month extension
(the “Monthly Extension”), for a total of up to twelve months to January 22, 2027. In order to effectuate each Monthly Extensions,
$50,000 needs to be deposited into the Trust Account of the Company (the “Monthly Extension Fee”).
On
January 16, 2026, the Company and the Trustee entered into the amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated January 22,
2025 ( as amended, the “Trust Agreement”) upon the shareholders’ approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting, which
provides that that the Trustee must commence liquidation of the Trust Account by the prescribed timeline as provided in the Company’s
Amended Charter.
In
connection with the votes to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal, 3,449,851 Ordinary Shares of the Company were rendered for redemption,
and approximately $35.83 million was released from the Trust Account to pay such redeeming shareholders.
Extensions
and Extension Notes
As
of the date hereof, the Company has until May 22, 2026 to complete its initial business combination (or up to January 22, 2027 if fully
extended). A total of $200,000 Monthly Extension Fee was deposited into the Trust Account of the Company, among which $100,000 was paid
by the Company from its working capital and $100,000 was paid by the Target pursuant to the BCA.
On May 5, 2026, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 to the Target in connection with the Target’s payment of an aggregate
of $100,000 of the Monthly Extension Fee (the “Target Extension Note”) through four deposits of $25,000, representing 50%
of the Monthly Extension Fee per deposit pursuant to the BCA. The Target Extension Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon
the earliest to occur of (i) the termination date of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms other than by the
Company pursuant to Section 10.1(e) thereof, (ii) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination, including
the proposed business combination with the Target (a “Business Combination”), and (iii) the date that the winding up of the
Company is effective (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”).
The payee of the Target Extension Note, the Target or its registered
assigns or successors in interest (the “Payee”), has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the outstanding unpaid
obligations payable to the Payee under the Target Extension Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private units (the “Conversion
Units”) of the Company at a price of $10.00 per unit, each consisting of one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary
Share”) and one right to receive one-seventh (1/7) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of a Business Combination, as described
in the prospectus of the Company (File No: 333-283278). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a valid termination of the Business
Combination Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 10.1(e) thereof, upon the completion of a Business Combination of the Company
with other targets, other than the Target or its affiliate, the Payee, at its sole election, may choose (i) either repayment of the outstanding
amount under the Target Extension Note, or (ii) to convert the outstanding amount into common or ordinary shares of the post-closing public
company in such Business Combination (“Conversion Shares”) at a price per share equal to $5.00 (with such price to be equitably
adjusted if the Ordinary Shares, par value are subject to any share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like
after the date of such Target Extension Note or are not converted into common or ordinary shares of the post-closing public company in
such Business Combination on a one-for-one basis).

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 March 31, 2026, we had a net income of $61,472, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $287,400, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $ 225,928.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net income of $149,799, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $403,733,
partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $253,934.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
March 31, 2026, we had cash of $129,350 and a working capital deficit of $196,690. The cash balance was decreased by $354,406 for the
three months ended March 31, 2026, which consisted of cash used by financing activities of $35,757,096, partially offset by cash provided
by investing activities of $35,682,096 and cash used by operating activities of $279,406. Changes in operating assets and liabilities
provided $53,478 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.
24
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 currently has until January 22, 2027 (if fully extended) 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.
Off-Balance Sheet
Financing Arrangements
We
have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026. 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.
25
Contractual
Obligations
As
of March 31, 2026, 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.
