Columbus Acquisition Corp/Cayman Islands Segments Disclosure
Note 8 — Segment Information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in the accompanying financial statements on a retrospective basis.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has operating and reportable segment. The Company’s CODM does not review assets by segment in his evaluation and therefore assets by segment are not disclosed below.
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews key metrics, which include the following:
| For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 | For the Period from January 18, 2024 (Inception) Through December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| General and administrative expenses | $ | 946,512 | $ | 77,094 | ||||
| Interest earned on demand deposit Trust Account | $ | 2,231,602 | $ | |||||
The key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM is general and administrative expenses, which include accounting expenses, printing expenses, and regulatory filing fees, none of which are deemed to be significant segment expenses; they are reviewed in aggregate to ensure alignment with budget and contractual obligations. These expenses are monitored to manage and forecast cash available to complete a business combination within the required period. Interest earned on demand deposit in Trust Account is reviewed to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
