Watch for a replacement to be named shortly.

April 15, 2024
Recently, the Vermont Department of Financial Regulations handed down a ruling against Colomont, Inc., stating that Colomont had not registered their Shares properly.
Although Colomont did indeed register 25 Million Shares in 2018 with the Vermont Secretary of State, the DFR states that the Shares were not registered properly with their Department.
This a civil violation and it is important to note that there are no criminal charges against Colomont nor any of its representatives and Colomont has never been accused of misspending a penny.
While in Montpelier in 2018, Colomont re-registered the Company as a “C” Corporation, changing its registration from an LLC, and we had a lengthy discussion regarding the Company’s plans to sell Shares to raise capital. The Secretary of State’s Office informed Colomont that we would need to register with the Internal Revenue Service and obtain an EIN (Employer Identification Number), register with the Vermont Department of Taxes, register with the Vermont Department of Labor, and register with the Vermont Department of Agriculture, all of which we did in 2018. The Vermont Department of Agriculture informed Colomont that we would also need to register the Company with the State of Vermont Hemp Registry, which we also did, becoming the 13^th Company to register in the State.
At no time, did any Vermont Agency inform Colomont of the Department of Financial Regulations. We simply did not know of the existence of the Department.
From 2019 through 2023, Colomont re-registered the Company Shares with the Vermont Secretary of State, paying a fee in each of those years.
Now, after a lengthy investigation into the Company, the Department of Financial Regulations has handed down a ruling against Colomont regarding the registration of Shares with their Department.
Due to the very high suggested costs associated with the Ruling, Colomont’s Legal Team is discussing our options at this time as the DRF stated to Colomont that an appeal to the Washington Superior Court would be the next step.
In the meantime, Colomont continues to work closely and openly with the State of Vermont’s Department of Financial Regulations evaluating our inventory’s value.
On another note regarding this matter, Colomont is aware of a social media page with the Colomont name on it, and we are aware of many false claims on the page, but the page is not associated with the Company and we have no control over its content.
Colomont continues to operate.

Colomont History 2021-2023

At this time, Colomont, Inc. is no longer selling or buying Shares of the Company.
Hemp values still remain low and Colomont’s inventory has dropped considerably in value.
As Colomont has not achieved any significant revenues at this time, Colomont has not been able to pay any Dividends to date.
CFO Stephen Polak has been replaced by new Chief Financial Officer Robert Wilson.

Colomont Board of Directors rolled back the 8 for 1 Stock Split to better structure the Company for a future potential public offering.
Each investor’s number of Shares was returned to its original number.
Colomont Hemp growing operations have declined dramatically and today, Colomont has no grow operations.
This minimizes our risk and this year, with all the rain and flooding, has been a poor grow season anyway.
Colomont continues to make and sell products from inventory and remains in business.
If any more inventory is needed, it is readily available in Vermont.

Colomont has entered into talks with a Canadian company regarding a Global Distribution Contract.
Colomont continues with its original goals and is making preparations to utilize
HempCrete:

and of course, we will continue to manufacture and market the finest CBD products.

 

Colomont History 2020

After the Hemp market became saturated in 2019, to make matters worse, the Covid Pandemic struck.
Dozens of Colomont employees were laid off.
Colomont products already produced were left sitting idly on store shelves in businesses that were closed in a Quarantine.
In other issues, Facebook and other affordable advertising venues then declined Colomont unexpectedly as Facebook claimed Hemp, like Heroin, was classified by the United States as a Class A regulated drug and therefore could not be advertised.

This too impacted sales online sales dramatically.

A pound of CBD flower, or buds, has fallen in value from $750 to $50.
A kilo of CBD Isolate, the key ingredient in making CBD products fell from a value of $7,500 to $500.
These price drops have caused easily over 90% of Vermont Hemp Registrants to go out of business.
Mr. Santee and Mr. Koegler did not draw paychecks, and still do not to this day.
After registering Colomont as a “C” Corporation with Secretary of State in the State of Vermont in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and registering the Company with the Vermont Department of Taxes, and registering the Company with the Vermont Department of Labor, the Vermont Department of Agriculture, the Vermont Hemp Registry and the Internal Revenue Service, the State of Vermont informed Colomont that it had not registered with the Vermont Department of Financial Regulations and the Department issued a Show Cause Order against Colomont.
Neither the Company, nor any of its officers, were never accused of intentionally avoiding registering Colomont with the Department. This was an Administrative error in paperwork. The State of Vermont stated at the latest Hearing on June 30, 2023 that there is a way to resolve this issue and move forward which would involve Colomont working closely with the Department. Colomont looks forward to the opportunity.

(This Split was later reversed by a vote of the Board of Directors).
As the USDA Secretary warned, the market became flooded:

AS Colomont’s Revenues began to exceed Colomont’s Expenses, in July of 2019, Colomont stopped offering Shares.

Chris Santee

Founder & CEO of Colomont

Colomont History 2018 –
Jean Koegler joined Colomont for his expertise in recipes and his enthusiasm in CBD.
A decision was made to expand the business, seek financing and build a “for profit” corporation.
A Chief Financial Officer was brought onboard.
Mr. Santee went to the Vermont Secretary of State’s office in March of 2018 to re-register Colomont, L.L.C. and become a “C” Corporation, so Colomont could raise investment money through selling Shares.
Colomont paid Vermont’s Secretary of State and registered 25,000,000 (Twenty-Five Million) Shares and Colomont began offering those Shares at $0.25 Per Share.
Investment was risky as hemp was still illegal by Federal law but legal under Vermont law.

At the direction of the Secretary of State’s Office and following the detailed “How to Register” list on their website, Colomont registered with the Vermont Department of Taxes, the Vermont Department of Labor, the Vermont Department of Agriculture and the Vermont Department of Agriculture Hemp registry and the Internal Revenue Service.
Enthusiasm in the Hemp Industry grew in 2018:

Colomont’s land, acquired with investor money was considerable:

At its peak, Colomont employed around 100 employees and spent considerable revenues (again, investors’ money) on payroll at $15.00 per hour and paid considerable funds to the State of Vermont Departments of Taxes and Labor in Payroll Taxes. Colomont confirmed farming is hard, expensive work where we are highly impacted by the rapidly changing weather patterns we see today and the registration fees and taxes of the government..
As a service to the Vermont farming community, Colomont testified in Montpelier at the State Capitol before the Senate Agriculture Committee and the House Agriculture Committee.
It was Colomont that informed the Vermont Lawmakers that several days with temperatures in the 90’s Fahrenheit altered the THC content in Cannabis plants naturally and that the limits of THC allowed by law should be raised from 0.3% to 1.0% in Hemp to prevent honest farmers following the laws from becoming victims with illegal crops.
Colomont successfully grew and harvested about 85 acres of high content CBD cannabis and 15 acres of a less expensive industrial hemp.
With the passage of the Farm Act, hemp became legal across the United States.
Colomont began offering Shares at $1.00 Per Share in November.

Colomont History 2015-2017

Chris came back to Vermont with the seeds from Dr. Melamede, that had produced these results to try growing them in Vermont soil.
From 2015 to 2017, Colomont was registered as an L.L.C. with the Secretary of State in the State of Vermont, researching the possibilities of growing Hemp in Vermont, producing CBD and recording all data, including consumers’ claims of relief. Mr. Santee began partnering with small, local farmers to produce Hemp.

After three years of research, the positive results people claimed were staggering.
We were not just seeing relief from seizures, but users claimed relief from headaches, back aches, arthritis, joint pain, anxiety, sleeplessness and an overall benefit, they claimed was they just plain felt better.

Colomont, L.L.C. registered with the Secretary of State in Vermont and Mr. Santee began working with farmers on small grows. 
Team Colomont was born and extraction of oils began. CBD capsules were produced, a select group of people sampled the product and the responses were very encouraging.

Colomont History 2014
After being briefly educated on hemp and CBD by Dr. Robert Melamede, University of Colorado Chair of the Microbiology Department, Christopher Santee headed from Vermont to Colorado on a Fact-Finding mission.
He heard of a five year old girl, Charlotte, with Dravet Syndrome, suffering 300 seizures a week.

She, and her family, had lived a very rough life and after millions of dollars of treatment and medicines, she had no relief.

After one dosage of CBD, the results started showing immediately and the seizures stopped.
CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta featured the amazing, young girl on a special news report regarding CBD and its potential benefits.

After learning the amazing benefits of cannabis, Mr. Santee had a vision.
Combining the beginning of the State name Colorado and the ending of the State name Vermont, “Colomont” was born to bring the knowledge of the cannabis world of Colorado to the Green Mountains and the fertile soils of Vermont to grow.

Hemp legalized in Colorado & Vermont
