Desert Control Launches Almond Pilot with HR Farms in Fresno, California Desert Control (DSRT) has initiated a new Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) pilot with HR Farms, a respected commercial grower in Fresno, California. The pilot applies LNC to more than 2,000 almond trees to evaluate its potential to enhance water efficiency, improve soil structure, and strengthen yield performance in one of the world's most water-intensive crops. California produces approximately 80% of the world's almonds, spanning around 1.5 million acres and generating close to USD 10 billion annually. Almond cultivation requires about 9,000 m3 of water per hectare per year, contributing to more than USD 1 billion in annual irrigation costs. With most orchards already optimized through micro-irrigation systems, further performance gains increasingly depend on improved soil structure, higher water retention, and greater resilience to drought. The pilot launched this week will quantify LNC's performance under real-world commercial orchard conditions. Two varieties of almond trees will be monitored throughout the growing season to assess water consumption, soil moisture dynamics, nutrient uptake, and yield development. Annuncio • Dec 04

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 24% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-kr63m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 24% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m (kr2.5m revenue, or US$247k).

Desert Control Solution Receives Approval for Major Water Conservation Incentive Programs in California Desert Control (DSRT) has received confirmation that its water conservation solution qualifies for incentive programs administered by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). This eligibility enables qualified clients--including golf courses, municipalities, and other large, irrigated properties--to receive significant financial incentives when implementing Desert Control's solution.Under these programs, eligible projects can receive rebates covering up to 50% of the total installed cost of Desert Control's solution, including materials, installation, engineering, and related services. Payouts are calculated based on verified water savings and can extend for up to 10 years, with partial incentive payments potentially available in advance at the utility's discretion Desert Control's technology is designed for large, irrigated properties such as golf courses, sports fields, parks, home-owner-association landscapes (HoA's), universities, and campuses. The solution improves soil's ability to retain moisture and nutrients, reducing irrigation demand while supporting healthier and more resilient turf and landscaping vegetation. Recent pilot programs in California demonstrate water savings from 25% to 60%, alongside improved turf quality, soil health, and operational efficiency.With the new program approvals, clients who meet the following criteria may be eligible for incentives: Located within the MWD service area, which includes LADWP and 25 other member agencies Operate large, irrigated landscapes with 3 years of water use data available Participate in baseline and post-installation monitoring, with adjustments for weather conditions Eligible project expenses include materials, third-party labor, irrigation system upgrades, and installation. For Desert Control, this eligibility opens up accelerated growth opportunities across key markets in California. With water costs rising and regulatory pressure mounting, the ability for clients to fund up to half their implementation costs through public incentive programs dramatically strengthens the company's commercial value proposition. These programs also open the door for performance-based financing models, enabling clients to fund Desert Control's solution through verified savings and rebates over time. Annuncio • Jan 24
