                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

         The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared
by the Company, without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosure
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

         In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Company as of March 31, 1996 and the results of its operations
and changes in its financial position from inception through March 31, 1996
have been made.  The results of its operations for such interim period is not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                 By virtue of the Company's merger with Automatic Control
Corporation, the Company has made substantial progress to become a viable
business.  This combination, treated as a pooling-of-interests, generated
sizable increases in the Company's cash and capital positions.  Although the
Company's interim balance sheet reflects a negative working capital, management
believes that with the release of the Company's initial products, this position
will change by the end of the 2nd Quarter of 1996.  Management is also in
discussion with a number of groups considering an investment in the Company for
working capital purposes, including the possibility of a secondary offering.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         For the 1st Quarter of 1996, the Company is reporting a loss of
$353,000 or $0.02 per share.  This loss was a result of the costs necessary to
complete the development of the Company's initial products, computer software
and hardware used to automate and optimize water monitoring processes of small
to medium sized public and private water treatment facilities.  The initial
release of the Company's software program will occur during the 2nd Quarter of
1996, on a geographical basis beginning with California.  The preliminary
response from various water treatment officials who have seen preview versions
of the software program have been very favorable.

         To further expand the marketing of the Company's products and services
the Company has established a home page on the World Wide Web of the internet
at http://www.sionix.com.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

         On January 23, 1996, the Company held a Special Meeting of the
Shareholders.  The  purpose of said meeting was to consider and act upon the
proposals to (1) Amend the Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the
corporation to SIONIX CORPORATION; and  (2) Amend the Articles of Incorporation
to provide that any action required to be taken at any annual or special
meeting of shareholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at
any annual or special meeting of such shareholders, may be taken without a
meeting pursuant to Section 1-10a-704 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation

forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock
having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to
authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote
thereon were present and voted.

                         (A Development Stage Company)
                       Notes to the Financial Statements
                            March 31, 1996 and 1995

NOTE 1 -     COMPANY ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY

             Organization - Sionix Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated
             in Nevada on October 3, 1994.  The Company was formed to design,
             develop, and market an automatic water filtration system primarily
             for small water districts.

             Development Stage - The Company is in the development stage and
             its efforts through March 31, 1996 have been principally devoted
             to research and development, organizational activities, and
             raising capital.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company does not yet
             have revenues from the sale of its water filtration systems.  The
             ultimate recovery of investments and costs is dependent on future
             profitable operations, which presently cannot be determined.

NOTE 2 -     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

             Recognition of Revenue - The Company recognizes income and expense
             on the accrual basis of accounting.

             Commitments and Contingencies - The Company has no commitments or
             contingencies not disclosed in the financial statements.

             Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at
             cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
             over a five year life.

             Intangibles - Intangibles are stated at cost.  Amortization is
             computed over the estimated useful lives.

             Research and Development - The Company entered into an agreement
             with Sionix Technology (ACT) on February 28, 1995.  Under this
             agreement, ACT acts as research and development consultant for the
             Company.  In  consideration for the performance of this agreement,
             the Company agrees to pay ACT total reimbursement of costs for
             consulting plus 5% as a consulting fee.  ACT is a related party
             through significant common ownership.

             All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

             Earnings (Loss) Per Share - The computation of earnings per share
             of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares
             outstanding at the date of the financial statements.

             Provision for Income Taxes - No provision for income taxes have
             been recorded due to net operating losses.  The Company will
             account for income taxes pursuant to FASB Statement No. 109.  The
             Internal Revenue Code contains provisions which may limit the loss
             carryforwards available should certain events occur, including
             significant changes in stockholder ownership interests,
             accordingly the tax benefit of the loss carryovers is offset by a
             valuation allowance of the same amount.  The loss carryovers of
             approximately $1,265,000 expire by the year 2011.

             Agreement and Plan of Reverse Merger with Coronado Capital
             Corporation (Coronado).  The shareholders of the Company and

             of the Company shall receive 4.819 new shares of the surviving
             corporation.  As a result of the merger, the pre-merger
             shareholders of the Company make up approximately 95.0% of the
             total issued and outstanding shares of Coronado, following the
             effective date of the merger.

             Under the terms of the merger agreement, the name of Coronado was
             changed to Sionix Corporation.  On January 23, 1996, the
             shareholders approved the change of the Company's name to "SIONIX
             CORPORATION."

             In addition to the above mentioned notes, the Company entered into
             an agreement for future production costs.  Under this agreement,
             the Company issued 112,500 shares at $6.00 per share for
             production costs valued at $675,000.

             Sionix Technology (ACT) is related to the Company through
             significant common control.  The Company has purchased from ACT
