Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of May 31, 2026.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
We completed our transaction with Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. ("Ekso") on May 5, 2026. Consistent with guidance issued by the SEC that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from management’s report on internal control over financial reporting in the year of acquisition, management elected to exclude an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to Ekso. Total assets and total revenues of Ekso that were excluded from management’s assessment constitute 0.2% of the Company’s total assets and 0.1% of total revenues as of and for the year ended May 31, 2026.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2026, our internal controls over financial reporting were effective.
Previously Reported Material Weakness and Remediation
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025, we previously identified a material weakness in the design of our internal controls as we did not design and maintain effective controls around the accounting and assessment of complex financial instruments.
During the quarter ended August 31, 2025, we completed our testing and evaluation of the newly designed and implemented controls around the accounting and assessment of complex financial instruments and determined that as of August 31, 2025, the controls have been in place and have operated effectively for a sufficient period of time for management to conclude the material weakness has been remediated. Remediation measures included hiring additional qualified accounting personnel, as well as engaging with a third-party consultant to assist with analyzing and documenting the treatment of complex financial instruments.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended May 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Applied Digital Corporation
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Applied Digital Corporation's (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2026, based on criteria established in COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2026 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in temporary equity and stockholders’ equity, and cash flows and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) for the year ended May 31, 2026 of the Company, and our report dated July 29, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Explanatory Paragraph – Excluded Subsidiary
As described in “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, management has excluded its subsidiary, Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2026 because this entity was acquired by the Company in a business combination during the year ended May 31, 2026. We have also excluded Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc. from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. This subsidiary’s combined total assets and total revenues represent approximately 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended May 31, 2026.
Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
129
Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
