Desert Control First Quarter 2023 Report

Webcast presentation for Desert Control Q1 2023 Report and Interim Financial Results is hosted on 25 May 2023 at 10.00 AM, Central European Time (CET). Register: https://desertcontrol.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uiW_Qq51Q6O4b-IZn6Hx_g

Solid progress towards commercialization readiness:

  • Completed second phase of the Limoneira project in Yuma, Arizona, demonstrating significant efficiency increase of LNC application
  • Secured five strategic pilots, expanding LNC application capabilities
  • Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) received official approval Emirates (UAE)

and certification for organic farming in the United Arab

Sandnes, Norway, 25 May 2023 – Desert Control AS (DSRT) announces its first quarter report for the fiscal period ending 31 March 2023.

  • Won the top prize in the Sustainability & Environment category at the Entrepreneurship World Cup (EWC) Global Finals held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, March 2023. Desert Control was among the top 10 finalists selected from 30,000 entrepreneurs worldwide.
  • Mawarid Desert Control named winners of the Research and Innovation Award by Ministry of Energy & Infratructure, UAE

• Official opening ceremony of U.S. operational base in Yuma, Arizona.

STAGES

Pilots: We initiate engagement with potential customers through smaller-scale pilot programs, like our initial project with Limoneira in July 2022, validating LNC's efficiency – essentially proving "it holds water."

Extended Pilots (Pre-projects): Successful Stage 1 pilots, as experienced with the expansion to 4,000 trees with Limoneira, evolve into larger pre-projects. The goal is to demonstrate our solution's scalability and economic viability across larger areas, assessing cost savings and the impact on yield and crop quality.

Full-Scale Deployment: Upon successfully completing Stage 2, we transition to full-scale deployment contracts.

2023 Q1 Company Update

DEMONSTRATING PROGRESS IN SALES, EFFICIENCY, AND SCALABILITY

In Q1 2023, we focused on sales and enhancing efficiency and scalability in our operations. This commitment has shaped our customer conversion model, designed to build trust and demonstrate the impact and practical application of Liquid Natural Clay (LNC).

  • Revenue NOK 1.9M [NOK 0.6M]
  • EBITDA NOK -23.4M [NOK -22.8M]
  • Net Income NOK -19.3M [NOK –23.7M]
  • Gross R&D expenses TNOK 322 [NOK 1.6M]
  • Total cash balance 31.03.23 (bank deposits and funds) NOK 56.7M [NOK 153.3M]
  • Equity 31.03.2023 NOK 86M (equity ratio 89%) [NOK 170.6 (92.5%)]

One of the quarter's key accomplishments was building on the momentum from our successful projects with Limoneira. In Q1, we reached an efficiency rate of treating an impressive 500 trees per day in the second stage of Limoneira's deployment, marking a 30X improvement since the initial pilot in July 2022. This progress in efficiency coincided with the expansion of our project portfolio as we secured five additional commercial pilot

contracts. These pilots underscore our commitment to broadening our reach and present an opportunity to apply LNC to a broader range of crops and application areas.

Our sales strategy focuses on a staged customer conversion model designed to engage potential customers and build trust by demonstrating LNC's effectiveness. Here's a brief overview of the model's stages:

Our customer conversion model has guided our Q1 focus, achieving significant milestones, including the successful stage 2 deployment with Limoneira, securing five additional stage-1 pilots, and expanding LNC application capabilities. Furthermore, LNC's official approval and certification for organic farming in the UAE during Q1 opens for customer base expansion.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to our sales strategy and customer conversion model. We are confident in our ability to secure a minimum of five new pilot projects per quarter, targeting a 50% conversion to larger deployments – in line with the target shared in our Q4-2022 update on 28 February 2023. Our ultimate goal is to secure

the first contract for large-scale deployment by the end of the year, contingent on the continued success of our pilots. Our systematic and progressive approach to sales and operational delivery reflects our commitment to building the pipeline for a robust future order book while continuing to enhance efficiency and scalability.

About Desert Control

Desert Control specializes in climate-smart AgTech solutions to combat desertification, soil degradation, and water scarcity. Its patented Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) restores and enhances soil ecosystems to; reduce water usage and improve the efficiency of fertilizers and natural resources for agriculture, forests, and green landscapes. LNC enables sandy and arid soil to retain water and nutrients, thus increasing crop yields, plant health, and ecosystem resilience while preserving water and natural resources by up to 50%.

Agriculture and food production consumes more than 70% of all available freshwater. Desertification and soil degradation further increase the pressure on water and natural resources in a negative spiral. Feeding the global population requires growing more food in the next 40 years than was produced over the last 500 years; this can only be achieved by improving resource efficiency and regenerating nature.

According to the United Nations, twelve million hectares of fertile land perish annually to desertification, representing an annual \$490 billion loss to the global economy. Desert Control's vision is making earth green again to foster the prosperity of life.

2 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMER

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue from sale of LNC is recognised when a customer obtains control of LNC, which normally is when LNC is applied at point of delivery, based on the contractual terms of the agreements. Each sale represents a single performance obligation.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)

Sustainability and impact on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Liquid Natural Clay (LNC) can reduce water consumption for agriculture, forests, and green landscapes by up to 50%. The amount of water required to produce LNC is recovered within 2-3 weeks (offset by irrigation water savings). Improved water efficiency and increased crop yields contribute significantly to a positive impact on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including reducing hunger and competition for scarce resources and securing access to clean water. Arid regions using energy-intensive seawater desalination can further significantly reduce CO2 and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

LNC enables sandy soil and desert land to retain water and nutrients. Reduction of water consumption further allows for reducing fertilizer usage. Reduced leaching of fertilizers and pesticides through the soil can further minimize the risk of chemical run-off reaching through to natural water systems and oceans. Stopping fertilizer and pesticide leaching can further improve life below the water by reducing ocean acidification and eutrophication.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), restoring degraded soil ecosystems can globally offset 5-6 Gt of CO2 annually. Even degraded soils have degrees of stored carbon. When tilling or mechanically working amendments into the ground, carbon exposed to oxygen may turn into CO2 and escape into the atmosphere. LNC can be applied directly to the surface of the ground without intervention to the soil. LNC percolates into the ground in a non-intrusive way without exposing any carbon to surface air oxygen, safeguarding the carbon storage of soil ecosystems and fostering increased carbon sequestration.

Non-intrusive soil treatment is further gentle to fragile soil ecosystems, home to 95% of all biological species on earth. Reclaiming and protecting soil is therefore critical to preserving and restoring biodiversity.

Mining clay and the production of LNC requires energy. Logistics and transportation of material, equipment, personnel, and manufacturing also require energy. Desert Control strives to reduce energy consumption in all stages of the process and facilitate the use of renewable energy sources wherever available. These negative impact factors are, by far, surpassed by the sum of positive impacts from stopping and reversing desertification and soil degradation, reducing water consumption, and other environmental benefits.

LNC has no adverse impact on any of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Further, LNC has a significant direct positive impact on 9 of the SDGs.
