Current report

Our proposed business combination with Applied Digital Corporation’s cloud computing business, Applied Digital Cloud, may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current report

On February 15, 2026, we entered into the Contribution Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Contribution Agreement, Contributor will contribute all of its right, title and interest in and to 1,200 shares of the common stock of Cloud, constituting 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Cloud, to us in exchange for 138,216,820 newly issued shares of our common stock (the “Exchanged Shares”). As a result of and upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Contributor is expected to own approximately 97% of the combined company’s outstanding equity before giving effect to the other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement.

Current report

The Contribution Agreement provides that the Closing is subject to certain conditions, including, among other things: (i) no order or law shall have been entered, adopted, enacted, issued, promulgated or enforced, in each case, by a governmental entity that prevents, enjoins, prohibits, restrains or makes illegal the consummation of the Business Combination or the other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement; (ii) all requisite approvals or waivers as required by the terms of the Contribution Agreement shall have been obtained; (iii) we shall have cash and cash equivalents equal to at least $15,000,000; and (iv) our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Second Restated Articles”) shall have been duly adopted by all necessary corporate action on our part, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and shall be in full force and effect as of immediately prior to the Closing.

Current report

The obligation of each party to consummate the Business Combination is also conditioned upon (i) performance and compliance by the other party in all material respects with its pre-Closing obligations and covenants under the Contribution Agreement; (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party as of the Closing (subject to customary materiality qualifiers); (iii) in both Cloud’s and our case, the absence of a continuing material adverse effect with respect to the other party; (iv) in Cloud’s case, that (a) a private placement transaction for gross proceeds of an amount to be determined by APLD Intermediate and on terms acceptable to APLD Intermediate, shall have been consummated concurrently with the Closing, (b) certain third-party consents as required by the terms of the Contribution Agreement shall have been obtained, (c) the Nasdaq listing application shall have been submitted and approved, (d) the Investor Rights Agreement shall be in full force and effect at Closing, and (e) certain tail insurance policies as described in the Contribution Agreement have been bound, paid for and in effect.

Current report

While it is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated in the second quarter of 2026, there can be no assurance that the foregoing conditions will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all, or that an event, development or change will not transpire that could delay or prevent these conditions from being satisfied. If the Business Combination is consummated, the combined company will be subject to risks related to, among other things, ChronoScale’s ability to successfully integrate our market opportunities, technology, personnel and operations and to achieve expected benefits, including the possibility that the expected strategic benefits from the transaction will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period or that general economic conditions or updated accounting or regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the combined business after the Closing.

Current report

If the Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, the trading price of our common stock may decline, and we may also be subject to additional risks if the Business Combination is not completed, including:

Current report

Absent the Business Combination, we do not believe there is a reasonable prospect for our business to achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow in the near term without significant additional capital fundraising. Any such financing, if available at all, would likely be on terms that are difficult and highly dilutive to existing stockholders and could include the issuance of substantial amounts of equity, convertible securities, or other instruments with preferential rights. There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to secure sufficient funding, we may be forced to liquidate assets, restructure, seek bankruptcy protection, or otherwise wind down our operations, which could result in a complete loss of stockholders’ investment.

Current report

The consummation of the Business Combination will cause significant dilution to our stockholders. As a result of and upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Contributor is expected to own approximately 97% of the combined company’s outstanding equity and our legacy stockholders will own approximately 3% of the combined company’s outstanding equity before giving effect to the other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, assuming full conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, full vesting of outstanding director restricted stock units that are expected to vest upon the Closing in accordance with their terms and the issuance of $15.0 million shares of our common stock in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), at an assumed price per share of $11.81, the closing price of the common stock on March 12, 2026 (which is subject to change). The issuance of the Exchanged Shares or such other securities, or the perception that such issuances could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
Removed paragraphs (26)

Previous report

Certain of our customers utilize federal funding to purchase our products, and recent federal policy changes has disrupted, and could continue to disrupt, that funding.

Previous report

Certain of our customers, including certain hospital systems, utilize federal funding to purchase our products. The current presidential administration has proposed and implemented certain budget cuts to key federal health agencies, which has reduced the availability of federal funding. Shifting priorities in federal research funding or a move toward industry partnerships over direct grant funding could further reduce the availability of federal funding for certain of our customers. These policy shifts have led, and may continue to lead, to a reduction or elimination of funding for programs for our customers, which has impacted their ability to purchase our products. As such, such reductions and potential further reductions could adversely impact our financial results.

Previous report

Coverage policies and reimbursement levels of third-party payors, including Veteran's Administration, Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payorsmay impact sales growth of our products.

Previous report

To the extent that the adoption of our products by our customers is dependent on their ability to obtain adequate reimbursement for the products or treatments provided using our product from third-party payors, including government payors such as Veteran's Administration ("VA"), Medicare, and Medicaid, as well as private payors, such as managed care organizations and commercial payors, the coverage policies and reimbursement levels of these third-party payors may impact the decisions of healthcare providers, facilities, or end users to purchase our products or the prices they would be willing to pay for those products. Reimbursement coverage could also affect the acceptance rates of new technologies. We have no control over these factors.

Previous report

In the United States, there are multiple avenues for potential medical product reimbursement, including through government payors, such as VA and CMS, or private sector payors, such as commercial or managed health care organizations. Often principal decisions regarding initial reimbursement for new medical products are made by CMS, the largest domestic payor. The decisions made by CMS, including whether and to what extent a new product will be covered and reimbursed under Medicare, often precede adoption of private sector payors. However, because there is no uniform policy of coverage and reimbursement in the United States, each payor generally determines for its own enrollees or insured patients whether to cover or otherwise establish a policy to reimburse based on its own medical relevance testing. Additionally, seeking payor approvals is a time-consuming and costly process often involving third-party durable medical equipment providers (“DMEs”). Our business plan for our Personal Health products depends in a large part on sales of our Ekso Indego Personal product to or through DMEs to individuals living with SCI. These individuals can either self-pay or submit for reimbursement through the public or private sector payor network.

Previous report

With CMS currently having the largest number of covered patients, if CMS delays or cancels reimbursement decisions, or materially changes the reimbursement level it has set, our ability to sell into this market may be diminished. In addition, the policies affecting the implementation of individual reimbursement decisions are made by regional DME Medicare Administrative Contractors. Certain policies are not yet known to us and may affect the number of individual purchases that are approved to receive reimbursement in the future. In addition, we have no guarantee that our products will obtain insurance coverage beyond CMS and VA. We cannot be certain that coverage for our current and our planned future products will be provided in the future by additional payors or that existing agreements, policy decisions or reimbursement levels will remain in place, remain adequate, or be fulfilled under existing terms and provisions. If we cannot obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement from governmental and private sector payors, such as Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, or commercial payors, for our current products or new products that we may develop in the future, demand for such products may decline or may not grow as we expect, which could limit our ability to generate revenue and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Previous report

The coverage and reimbursement market may be additionally impacted by future legislative changes. There are increasing efforts by governmental and private sector payors in the United States and abroad to cap or reduce healthcare costs which may cause such organizations to limit both coverage and the level of reimbursement for newly approved products and, as a result, they may not cover or provide adequate payment for our products. Specifically, there have been several recent U.S. presidential executive orders, Congressional inquiries, and proposed and enacted federal and state legislation designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to drug and medical device pricing, reduce the cost under Medicare, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies. We expect to experience pricing pressures in connection with the sale of any of our products due to the trend toward managed healthcare, the increasing influence of health maintenance organizations, cost containment initiatives and additional legislative changes.

Previous report

Shutdowns of the U.S. federal government could materially impair our business and financial condition.

Previous report

Development of our product candidates and obtaining regulatory approvals or reimbursements from government agencies may be delayed for reasons beyond our control. For example, the current U.S. government shutdown impacts several regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, which have furloughed critical government employees and stopped critical activities. If a prolonged government shutdown or budget sequestration occurs, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, while CMS reimbursement is considered an essential service and is thus less likely to be affected, other administrative functions within CMS could be affected, including as a result of the executive and congressional branches of the U.S. government being unable to reach a resolution on the deployment of the federal government’s funds. Further, in our operations as a public company, the current and future government shutdowns could impact our ability to access the public markets, such as through the declaration of effectiveness of registration statements and obtain necessary capital in order to properly capitalize and continue our operations.

Previous report

Material impairments in the value of our intangible assets, including developed technology and trade name, could negatively affect our operating results.

Previous report

We regularly review our intangible assets, including our goodwill, for impairment. Goodwill and other intangible assets are subject to impairment review on an annual basis and whenever potential impairment indicators are present. Changes in market conditions or other changes in the future outlook of value may lead to impairment charges. Future results, events or decisions may lead to asset impairments and/or related charges. Certain non-cash impairments may result from failure to achieve the expected financial results with respect to acquired assets and/or a change in our strategic goals, business direction or other factors relating to the overall business environment. Material impairment charges could negatively affect our results of operations.

Previous report

For example, we recorded $2.3 million for each of the developed technology and trade name assets relating to our acquisition of the Human Motion Control business unit of Parker Hannifin Corporation in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Failure to recognize sufficient revenue from the technology received in such acquisition could lead to impairment charges on the value of such assets in future periods, including as soon as the fourth quarter of 2025, which could be material to our results of operations. For more information, see our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.

Previous report

Future operating or business decisions will cause dilution to our existing stockholders. For example, we will issue a substantial amount of equity securities or securities exercisable or convertible into equity securities in connection with strategic transactions or for financing purposes, including through one or more registered or unregistered offerings. Furthermore, a substantial majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act so long as we are generally current on our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, unless these shares are owned or purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. We will also make equity grants under one or more employee equity incentive plan or our employee stock purchase plan or issue common stock as matching contributions to our employees under our 401(k) Plan. You will also be subject to dilution from the exercise or settlement of outstanding options or restricted stock units under the Restated 2014 Plan, and from the exercise of our warrants. In addition, sales or issuances of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or other equity-related securities in the public markets, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.

Previous report

We may not achieve profitability in the near term or at all, and historically we have not been profitable. Management has historically financed the Company’s operations through external financings, from both equity and debt financings, like issuances under our ATM Agreement, our registered offering in August 2024, and entering into the B. Riley Promissory Note, for example. To the extent our cash on hand does not provide sufficient capital for us to achieve profitability, or we are unable to maintain profitability once initially achieved, we expect we will need to raise additional capital through future financings. To the extent we decide to conduct a financing in the future, the form of such financing may include one or more of the following: (i) underwritten offerings of shares of our common stock, (ii) sales of shares of our common stock under an "at the market" offering program, (iii) issuing shares of our common stock upon the exercise of warrants at reduced exercise prices, (iv) incurring indebtedness with one or more financial institutions, (v) sale of product line or technology, and (vi) the factoring of trade receivables. Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, or we may be required to seek other more costly or time-consuming methods. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies.

Previous report

We may not be able to reduce the cost to manufacture or service our products as planned.

Previous report

Our business plan assumes that exoskeletons can be manufactured more inexpensively than they are currently being manufactured. However, we have not yet found a way to significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of our products and doing so may prove more difficult than expected or even impossible. For example, if expectations for greater functionality of the products drive costs up as other factors drive costs down, the result may be that the overall cost of manufacturing the product stays the same or even increases. Likewise, we currently provide service and support of our products for our customers at a high standard (both in and out of warranty), and plan on continuing to do so. Our business plan also assumes that as we continue to improve our product, we achieve improved levels of product reliability and decreased service cost and frequency, which also may prove more difficult than expected.

Previous report

We might not be able to continue as a going concern.

Previous report

Our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2025, we had cash of $2.7 million and an accumulated deficit of $257.7 million. We do not believe that our cash is sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months. We will need to increase revenues substantially beyond levels that we have attained in the past in order to generate sustainable operating profit and sufficient cash flows to continue doing business without raising additional capital from time to time. As a result of our expected operating losses and cash burn for the foreseeable future and recurring losses from operations, if we are unable to raise sufficient capital through additional debt or equity arrangements, there will be uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us.

Previous report

If we are unable to generate sustainable operating profit and sufficient cash flows, then our future success will depend on our ability to raise capital. We are seeking additional financing and evaluating financing alternatives in the near term in order to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months. We cannot be certain that raising additional capital, whether through selling additional debt or equity securities or obtaining a line of credit or other loan, will be available to us or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If we issue additional securities to raise funds, these securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our common stock, and our current stockholders may experience dilution. If we are unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to curtail our current product development programs, cut operating costs, forego future development and other opportunities or even terminate our operations.

Previous report

Shortages in the materials used to manufacture our products and supply chain disruptions, including as a result of changes in trade policies, could impact our future results.

Previous report

Due to a variety of factors, various materials we and the third-party manufacturers we rely on use to manufacture our products are currently, or may in the future, experience shortages and supply chain disruptions, including from shipping delays. Electronic components in general, battery cells, metals and plastics, all of which we use in our products, have, in the recent past, been in shorter supply compared to prior periods. Numerous factors, such as conflicts in the Middle East and Europe or further trade tensions between the United States and China, may prolong or deepen these challenges. Our operating results may be negatively impacted if global supply chains of semiconductors and other important commodities recur in the future.

Previous report

Additionally, we may experience shortages and supply chain disruptions as a result of changes in domestic and international trade policies, including the imposition of higher tariffs on imports from various countries from which we procure raw materials and components to support the manufacturing and sale of our products, as well as retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries. There have been significant changes to tariffs recently. While we believe that under current tariff criteria we will not be subject to additional direct costs from tariffs on the raw materials used to manufacture our medical products, we may be adversely impacted by indirect impact from tariff increases or the existing criteria may change such that we become subject to direct tariffs on imported raw materials. These tariffs could lead to increased costs for raw materials and components, which may not be fully passed on to our customers, thereby reducing our profit margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs could adversely affect our export sales. Such changes in trade policies may lead to supply chain disruptions and material shortages, which could adversely affect our financial results.

Previous report

The uncertainty surrounding future trade policies and potential further tariff increases could also impact our strategic planning and investment decisions. We may need to adjust our sourcing strategies, explore alternative suppliers or consider other international contract manufacturer partners, all of which could cause us to incur substantial costs and face operational challenges. Furthermore, prolonged trade tensions and the potential for a trade war could lead to broader economic instability, affecting consumer confidence and demand for our products. We are actively monitoring developments in trade policies and are prepared to take necessary actions to mitigate these risks, but there can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful.

Previous report

International sales of our products are subject to factors outside of our control.

Previous report

Our business currently depends in part on our activities in the EMEA, APAC, and other foreign markets. Our international activities are subject to a number of risks inherent in selling and operating abroad, including failure of local laws to provide the same degree of protection against infringement of our intellectual property rights; protectionist laws and business practices that favor local competitors, which could slow our growth in international markets; the expense of establishing facilities and operations in new foreign markets; building an organization capable of supporting geographically dispersed operations; challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences; challenges caused by differences in legal regulations, markets, and customer preferences, which may limit our ability to adapt our products or succeed in other regions; multiple, conflicting, and changing laws and regulations, including complications due to unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, foreign laws, tax schemes, international import and export legislation, trading and investment policies, exchange controls and tariff and other trade barriers; foreign tax consequences; fluctuations in currency exchange rates and foreign currency translation adjustments; foreign exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating income earned outside the United States; imposition of public sector controls; differing payor reimbursement regimes, governmental payors or patient self-pay systems and price controls; political, economic and social instability; and restrictions on the export or import of technology.

Previous report

In addition, policy changes that result in increased international sales may not continue or may increase cyclicality of our sales cycles. For example, due to local government policy changes, we saw increased sales in France in 2024. Such increased sales are expected to be limited to 2024 and future periods when such devices may be replaced in the future, to the extent such policy changes remain in effect.
Reworded paragraphs (1)

Previous wording

You will be diluted from future issuances of our equity securities, including in strategic transactions or future financings, from compensatory equity awards and exercises of outstanding warrants, and such issuances, or perception that such issuances may occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.

Current wording

Our stockholders will be significantly diluted from the issuance of the Exchanged Shares and any other issuances in connection with the Business Combination, and such issuances, or perception that such issuances may occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
