fortifies its mission to enhance resilience in the agriculture and landscaping

sectors in the U.S. Southwest with its Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) innovation. The

strengthened focus on the United States is backed by a strategic shift where

local partners take the helm in developing the Middle Eastern markets.

Achievements in Q2 2023 bolster the Company's foundation for sustainable growth.

Desert Control: Pioneering Soil Revitalization and Water Conservation

Desert Control specializes in improving the productivity of sandy and degraded

soil with its patented Liquid Natural Clay

(https://vimeo.com/desertcontrol/lncexplainer). LNC is a nature-based solution

to upgrade sandy soil's capability to retain and utilize water and nutrients,

positioning it as a game-changer in climate-smart agriculture and sustainable

land management.

As a result of Q2-2023 achievements, Desert Control reinforces its strategy to

enrich U.S. soils for a resilient future by paving the way for local partners to

take the lead in the Middle East. The soil and water conservation progress

enabled by LNC in the U.S. Southwest is fortified further by ten new pilot

initiatives with farmers and landowners in Arizona and California, spanning from

orchards and farm fields to green landscapes and sports fields.

The University of Arizona embarked on a five-year validation program, showing

impressive results after its first year. The study showcases how LNC can

transform dry, sandy soil into fertile ground, holding promise for regions

grappling with water scarcity. Recent findings, as elaborated in a University of

Arizona article (https://extension.arizona.edu/news/news/university-arizona

-study-paves-way-toward-water-savings-increased-crop-yields), indicate up to 50%

improvement in water and nutrient use efficiency, illustrating the potential of

LNC.

Desert Control's CEO, Ole Kristian Sivertsen, highlighted the magnitude of the

promising interim results of the University study: "The successful

transformation of sandy ground to high-value fertile land can inspire hope for

the future of farming way beyond Arizona."

World Economic Forum further highlights the

importance (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/world-economic-forum_foodsecurity

-sdg2-agriculture-activity-7099678598898311170-mTSP?) of innovations like LNC

for soil health and resilience in a drying world, announcing Desert Control as a

Top Innovator (https://uplink.weforum.org/uplink/s/news/desert-control-at-amnc).

While making strides in the U.S., Desert Control's strategic transition to a

licensed operator model for the Middle East unlocks potential and significantly

strengthens the Company's financial position. This shift enables local partners

to produce, sell, and deliver LNC as an integrated part of their business

tailored for unique market needs, driving solid progress toward sustainable

growth for Liquid Natural Clay adoption.
