ITEM 1.
THE PLANS
This registration statement covers the 2004 Employee and Consultant
Compensation Plan (the "2004 Plan") and Coronado Industries, Inc. (the
"Registrant") will fund the Plan with up to 10,000,000 shares of its $.001 par
value common stock (the "Stock"). The 2004 Plan is described in the letter from
the Registrant to its employees and consultants. The Plan is not subject to the
provisions of ERISA and the Plan has no administrators.
DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 400,000,000 shares
of common stock ("Common Stock"), of which 170,244,627 shares were issued and
outstanding on June 25, 2004 and 3,000,000 shares of $.001 par value Preferred
Stock, of which no shares have been issued as of June 25, 2004. All presently
outstanding shares are duly authorized, fully-paid and non-assessable.
Each share of the Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters to be
voted on by the shareholders, such as the election of certain directors and
other matters that directly impact the rights of the holders of such class.
There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors. Holders of Common
Stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to
time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. In the
event of any dissolution, winding up or liquidation of the Company, the shares
of Common Stock will share ratably in all the funds available for distribution
after payment of all debts and obligations. The holders of Common Stock are
subject to any rights that may be fixed for holders of preferred stock as
designated upon issuance.
ISSUANCE OF SHARES
At the direction of the Registrant's Board of Directors, the employees and
consultants of the Registrant are eligible to participate in Registrant's 2004
Employee and Consultant Compensation Plan. The employees and all consultants may
participate in the 2004 Plan by electing to receive Registrant's common stock
for accrued and unpaid compensation at any time after July 15, 2004 on the basis
of one share at a negotiated price not less than ninety percent (90%) of the
lowest closing bid price in the week prior to their accrued salary being due.
The Stock will not be purchased in the open market.
RESALE RESTRICTIONS
Shares issued pursuant to the 2004 Plan to Registrant's employees and
consultants who are not affiliates the Registrant are not restricted in resale
or reoffer. Management employees who receive shares under the 2004 Plan will
only be able to resell or reoffer their shares by means of a Reoffer Prospectus

to the Company and provides for the indemnification of officers and directors in
specified instances. It permits a corporation, pursuant to a bylaw provision or
in an indemnity contract, to pay an officer's or director's litigation expenses
in advance of a proceeding's final disposition, and provides that rights arising
under an indemnity agreement or bylaw provision may continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director or officer.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided,
however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the registration statement
is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post- effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
5
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
