This was just written on Hollunds Facebook Page and I believe it should be here also it is from Matt Strunk

Hollund, at this point I think it is safe to say you don’t give a damn about us loyal shareholders. We have been patiently waiting since March to hear and see evidence that you are real company, positioned to do great things in the way of “benefitting our earth” and not wanting to “bullsh** anyone” (both your statements, not mine) with respect to the state of the company. Well, I would like to say your inaction and non-communication with shareholders over the last 2+ months is indeed bullsh**! We hear of operational delays and give you the benefit of the doubt, thinking these type of things are expected with a start-up company on their first concession, but when we hear of the required permits not being procured, even after you make statements saying the final permit had been awarded, I’m beginning to wonder if the company possesses the knowledge and skillset to be successful in this business. It appears as though you have reached the point where you MUST show proof and deliver something, anything that resembles proof you are a legitimate company and you have failed to do so. You say you won’t release any “fluff” PR’s, and if you think PR’s that reassure shareholders by providing current operational status, good or bad, is fluff, I would say you not only lack logging experience, but basic business communication skills essential for the success of a publicly traded company. Maybe you are not taking your shareholders serious enough. Is this all fun and games to you? Is there no sense of urgency on your part to actually be successful? Have you placed all of your eggs in the Bayano basket? Has the “underwater logging” venture run its course for you and now you are trying to gain resuscitation with the HEMP initiative? I could go on, but I think you get my point; there are a lot of unanswered questions that you could be addressing with shareholders that would not be “fluff”. They are legitimate business concerns which lie at the heart of loyal shareholders’ disgust with OUR company right now, but we’re starting to believe you don’t think of this as OUR company, but rather YOUR company and you either don’t want to be held accountable because you have/are making bad business decisions, or you are so arrogant of a company that you say one thing about building shareholder value in public, but behind the scenes you could really care less, diluting the company to a point where either bankruptcy or a reverse split is inevitable? If you get one thing out of this post please understand that your silence is incriminating!!! I have been a longtime supporter of Hollund (years), and have been one of your biggest cheerleaders in the past, but, when faced with the current state of affairs, lack of communication, and plain just not knowing what’s going on with you, I’m starting to question my allegiance.
Hopefully you care enough about your shareholders to provide a timely response to our posts. In this day and time of social media availability and technology advancement, it isn’t that hard. I hope you don’t hesitate and/or refuse to use the TigerLynk technology so sparingly if and when that vision ever materializes. Please don’t feed us anymore Bullsh** like, “we’ve been hard at work doing………blah, blah, blah”. If you have been working that hard for years with nothing to show for it, one starts questioning whether you have been working at all. Was the late March Panama trip a tree climbing exercise, a how to wear a life-jacket properly training session, a new digital camera photography course, or did any real progress get made when you went down there? If it was the latter, please provide explicit details as to what was accomplished, because from viewpoint, that trip now looks like it was a loyal shareholder funded vacation for OUR management team.
Finally, I will not apologize for this post being so negative and accusatory, for your silence and non-action up to this point has more than warranted its authoring. As I believe in bringing solutions along with problems, I would like to provide you the following solution to these types of posts from me, or what I would consider your loyal shareholders, and that is to start acting more like a real company. Provide timely information, you can start by submitting your financials on time and then continue with following through on your many promises to keep us shareholders informed of what is going on in HIMR’s world. You can’t tell me that all of the non-fluff information you have would jeopardize further concessions and the success of Hollund. Here, I’ll even give you a suggestion on that one. What consulting services and possible value from operations do you expect to realize from your affiliation with HEMP? See, nothing to do with underwater logging so no risk of losing concessions to competitors. And since HEMP has already signed an agreement with you to provide these “services” there is no chance of you losing that revenue stream. So please, tell us what your role as HEMP consultant consists of.
