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.
Nasdaq Notifications
Nasdaq Minimum Holders Requirement
On May 22, 2026, the Company received written
notice (the “Minimum Holders Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
indicating that the Company no longer complies with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing criteria set forth in Listing Rule 5450
(a)(2) (the “Minimum Holders Rule”), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of 400 holders for continued listing
on Nasdaq. The Minimum Holders Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the
listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq.
The Minimum Holders Notice states that the Company
has 45 calendar days, or until July 6, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Holders Rule. On July 2, 2026, the
Company submitted its plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Holders Rule to Nasdaq. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s compliance
plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to180 calendar days from the date of the Minimum Holders Notice to evidence
compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to
a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
Nasdaq Market Value of Listed Securities
Requirement
On the same day, the Company received written
notice (the “MVLS Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq that, for the previous 30 consecutive business
days, the market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) for the Company was below the $50 million minimum MVLS requirement for
continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Rule”). The MVLS Notice is
only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s
securities.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C),
the Company will have 180 calendar days, or until November 18, 2026 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the
MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the MVLS for the Company must be at least $50 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive
business days at any time during this Compliance Period. On May 28, 2026, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq notifying
the Company that the Staff has determined that for the last 10 consecutive business days, from May 13, 2026 to May 27, 2026, the Company’s
MVLS has been $50 million or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with the MVLS Rule and the Staff has indicated
that the matter is now closed.
22
Extensions and Extension Notes
As of August 3, 2026, the Company has until
August 22, 2026 to complete its initial business combination (or up to January 22, 2027 if fully extended). A total of $350,000
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, $75,000 was paid by Hercules Capital Management VII Corp, the sponsor of the Company (the “Sponsor”),
and $175,000 was paid by WISeSat.Space Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (the “Target”) pursuant to the
business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA”)
by and among the Company, the Target and other parties thereto in connection with the proposed business combination.
As of the date hereof, the Company has
issued a total of seven unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000, including (i) four promissory
notes in the aggregate principal amount of $175,000 to the Target in connection with the Target’s payment of an aggregate of
$175,000 of the Monthly Extension Fee (the “Target Extension Notes”), and (ii) three promissory notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $75,000 to the Sponsor in connection with Sponsor’s payment of an aggregate of $75,000 of the Monthly
Extension Fee (the “Sponsor Extension Notes” and, together with the Target Extension Notes, the “Extension
Notes”). Each of the Target Extension Notes 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”). Each of the Sponsor Extension Notes bears no interest and is payable in full
upon the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company consummates its Business Combination, and (ii) the date that the winding up of
the Company is effective.
The payee of each of the Extension Notes, 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 Extension Notes, 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, with respect to the Target Extension Notes, 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 Notes, 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 Notes 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 June 30, 2026,
we had a net income of $89,786, which consisted of interest income from the trust account (the “Trust Account”) of $226,350,
partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $136,564.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025,
we had a net income of $462,615, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $614,514, partially offset by general and
administrative expenses of $151,899.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had
a net income of $151,258, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $513,750, partially offset by general and administrative
expenses of $362,492.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had
a net income of $612,414, which consisted of interest income from the Trust Account of $1,018,247, partially offset by general and administrative
expenses of $405,833.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash of $8,393
and a working capital deficit of $483,254. The cash balance was decreased by $475,363 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, which consisted
of cash provided by financing activities of $35,532,096, partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $35,532,096 and cash
used in operating activities of $475,363. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $112,871 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope
Improvements. ASU 2025-11 clarifies the applicability of interim reporting guidance under ASC 270 and reorganizes interim disclosure requirements
into a centralized framework. The amendments also introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose material events and
changes occurring since the most recent annual reporting period. The guidance is effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2027 for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that
the adoption of ASU 2025-11 will have on its condensed financial statements and related disclosures.
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.
