Noen sentrale momenter fra dagens q pres:
Problemene innen golf - identifisert, relativt begrenset og ryddet opp i hos Woodland og PGA:
“It was only in the weeks later that we noticed some of their you know, a a small number or percentage of their sprinklers were not fully functioning. They were functioning, just not fully functioning. We dug into that deeper and and we’re able to find both the specific challenge with their equipment and have gotten that all rectified now, we do believe. And courses has continued to be open, very productive, and, just looks beautiful, looks amazing, and we’re beginning to see good results there in terms of some water conservation”
Det kommer ett nytt styremedlem. Trolig med erfaring fra bransjen og trolig fra USA:
"…the board will use the upcoming period to expand the board with a new board member. It would be natural for us to have a new board member whose experience and expertise mirror our strategy in landscaping and agriculture, and especially with the personal footprint in The US markets that we are interested. "
Enormt potensiale innen mandler - 200 mill trær bare i California :
“Marty brought out that we have this trial that we plan to install in the almond, market there in California. There are 200,000,000 almond trees in California alone. They’re not all for us, but that’s a very big market, and they’re very thirsty. So we have great hopes for there.”
På terskelen til kommersiell forløsning i Midtøsten , og de trenger den nye enheten:
*I think the Middle East guys really are on the cusp of some large contracts. It’s always been the case in The Middle East that this is elephants. Right? In California, Arizona, all over The US, it’s all about midsize, small, midsize, kinda banging it out a lot of times. In The Middle East, this is about big government contracts. *
And we are seeing activity both in The UAE with soil and with SDC in Saudi Arabia that says some of those big contracts are maturing. I don’t think we’re gonna do 15,000,000 trees next year in The Middle East, because that’s not how this works. We’ll get signed up for a big contract, and it will start with what are sizable deployments, but not million tree kind of deployments. But I do think we’ll see that activity, and I think that will drive conversations about production units. Because as we’ve tried to tell you in the past, the old equipment was good for doing pilots.
It’s hard to do big commercial jobs with them. The new equipment is much better, so I think we’ll have conversations with our partners in that area"
Kontantbeholdningen/finansiell situasjon - de virker å ha full kontroll ( her må klippet sees for å fange opp kroppspråk og hvordan Eismark legger tyngde på ord/ i setninger) :
"We have another question, that is for the Chairman of Desert Control. It says, the company capital needs have been known and communicated to the market for a long time. One month ago, the share price, which effectively the company currency was at Norwegian kroner 7.08. Why was the share issue not carried out of time?
And and he’s asking in a specific reply from Lars.
Lars Eismark, Chairman of the Board, Desert Control: Yeah. So thank you for the question. I think it’s it’s it’s fair question, and it’s a very relevant question. But but let me emphasize very, very clearly. The board or I would even say a board has at all times the responsibility to address the strength of the balance sheet of Desert Control.
And I can assure you that the board has had an ongoing task to pursue all avenues that will strengthen our financial muscle. This has this has not been only the case for the current new leadership and the current board, but that has been the case for a long time going back as well. And needless to say, the board would have, and we still will, as I mentioned before, report any information in these matters that would have been, or are relevant to share with the market. "
