Item 9. Undertakings.
- ----------------------
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) (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 (the
"1933 Act");
(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; and
(iii) To include any additional or changed 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, only to the extent required
by the general rules and regulations of the
Commission.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the 1933 Act, 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) That for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933
Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
1933 Act, as amended, may be permitted to directors, executive
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant as outlined
above or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the 1933 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,
executive officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, executive 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

Sandy, Utah 84093
Re: Opinion concerning the legality of the securities to be issued
pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed
by Advanced Coatings Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation
Board of Directors:
As counsel for Advanced Coatings Technologies, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), and in connection with the issuance of 250,000
shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock (the "Securities") to
two individual consultants (the "Consultants") pursuant to a written
compensation agreement, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference
(the "Consultant Compensation Agreement No. 1" [the "Plan"]), I have been
asked to render an opinion as to the legality of these Securities, which are
to be covered by a Registration Statement to be filed by the Company on Form
S-8 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and as to
which this opinion is to be filed as an exhibit.
As you are aware, no services to be performed and billed to you
which are in any way related to a "capital raising" transaction may be paid by
the issuance of Securities pursuant to the Plan.
You should also be aware that I have no interest in any of the
Securities covered hereby, and I am not a stockholder of the Company.
In connection with rendering my opinion, which is set forth below,
I have reviewed and examined originals or copies of the following documents,
to-wit:
1. Articles of Incorporation and all amendments thereto;
2. Bylaws;
3. 10-KSB Annual Report for the calendar year ended December 31,
1997, filed with the Commission on or about October 8, 1998;
4. 10-QSB Quarterly Reports for the past twelve months or for such
shorter period for which the Company was required to file such reports;
5. 8-K Current Report dated December 15, 1998, and filed December
17, 1998;
6. A copy of the Plan;
7. The Unanimous Consent of the Board of Directors adopting the
Plan, designating the name of the Plan and the name, address and telephone
number of the Plan's agent; and,
8. Correspondence with the two consultants regarding the type of
services rendered and to be rendered, and Securities Act Release No. 7506,
dated February 17, 1998.
I have also examined various other documents, books, records,
instruments and certificates of public officials, directors, executive
officers and agents of the Company, and have made such investigations as I
have deemed reasonable, necessary or prudent under the circumstances. Also,
in rendering this opinion, I have reviewed various statutes and judicial
precedence as I have deemed relevant or necessary.
Further, as counsel for the Company, I have discussed the items
relied upon in rendering this opinion and the documents I have examined with
one or more directors and executive officers of the Company, and in all
instances, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal
capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me
as originals, the conformity with the original documents of all documents
submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the
originals of such copies. I have further assumed that the recipients of these
Securities under the Plan will have paid the consideration required under the
terms of the Plan prior to the issuance of the Securities, and that none of
the services performed by the recipients shall be related to "capital raising"
transactions.
I have also provided the individual participants in the Plan with a
copy of the documents enumerated in paragraphs 3 through 6, inclusive, above.
Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, it is my opinion
that, subject to the limitations set forth in the Plan, the Securities to be
issued pursuant to the Plan will, upon their issuance and delivery to the
recipients thereof, after receipt of full payment therefor, be deemed duly and
validly authorized, legally issued and fully paid and non-assessable under the
Nevada Revised Statutes.
This opinion is expressly limited in scope to the Securities
described herein and which are to be expressly covered by the above referenced
Registration Statement and does not cover any subsequent issuances of any
securities to be made in the future pursuant to any other plans, if any,
pertaining to services performed in the future. Any such transactions are
required to be included in a new Registration Statement or a post-effective
amendment to the above referenced Registration Statement, which will be
required to include a revised or a new opinion concerning the legality of the
Securities to be issued.
Further, this opinion is limited to the corporate laws of the State
of Nevada and the securities laws, rules and regulations of the United
States, and I express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other
jurisdiction.
I consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an
exhibit to the above referenced Registration Statement; however, this opinion
is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other
purpose without my prior written consent.
This opinion is based upon my knowledge of the law and facts as of
the date hereof, and I assume no duty to communicate with you with respect to
any matter which may hereafter come to my attention.
Yours very sincerely,
/s/ Branden T. Burningham

Dear Messrs. Johnson and Burningham::
Pursuant to our discussions this morning, I represent the Company
and have been engaged to prepare a Registration Statement on Form S-8 of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration of the securities to
be issued to you under a written compensation agreement to be prepared by this
office.
I have prepared a brief Memorandum of the proposed amendments of
the Securities and Exchange Commission to this Form, and have enclosed a copy
thereof for your review.
Please review this Memorandum and advise me in writing of the
types of services you are to render, and please facsimile me a copy of this

written comments, I will be happy to have them typed on this Memorandum.
With respect to Mr. Johnson's services, I would like a detailed
explanation of all "non-capital raising" services rendered, including dates,
if applicable, and any "due diligence" report concerning Dancor, Inc., a

Thank you very much.
Yours very sincerely,

CONSULTANT COMPENSATION AGREEMENT NO. 1
THIS CONSULTANT COMPENSATION AGREEMENT (the "Plan") is made
this _________ day of January, 1999, among Advanced Coating Technologies,
Inc., a Nevada corporation ("ACTI"); and Leonard W. Burningham, Esq. and Joe
K. Johnson, who have executed and delivered this Plan by the execution and
delivery of the Counterpart Signature Pages which are designated as Exhibits
"A" and "B" hereof (collectively, the "Consultants").
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of ACTI has adopted a written
compensation agreement for compensation of two individual Consultants who are
natural persons, one of whom is counsel for the Company and one of whom is a
financial consultant to the Company; and
WHEREAS, ACTI has engaged the Consultants to provide services
at the request of and subject to the satisfaction of its management; and
WHEREAS, the Consultants have provided services at the request
and subject to the approval of the management of ACTI; and
WHEREAS, a general description of the nature of the services
performed and to be performed by the Consultants and the maximum value of such
services under this Plan are listed in the Counterpart Signature Pages; and
WHEREAS, ACTI and the Consultants intend that this Plan and
the services performed hereunder shall be made, requested and performed in
such a manner that this Plan shall be a "written compensation agreement" as
defined in Rule 405 of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission")
pursuant to which ACTI may issue "freely tradeable" shares (except as may be
limited by "affiliate" status) of its common stock as payment for services
rendered pursuant to an S-8 Registration Statement to be filed with the
Commission by ACTI;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
promises contained herein, it is agreed:
Section 1
Compensation Plan
1.1 Employment. ACTI hereby employs the Consultants and the
consultants hereby accept such employment, and have and will perform the
services requested by management of ACTI to its satisfaction during the term
hereof. The services performed by the Consultants hereunder have been and
will be personally rendered by the Consultants, and no one acting for or on
behalf of the Consultants, except those persons normally employed by the
consultants in rendering services to others, such as secretaries, bookkeepers
and the like.
1.2 Independent Contractors. Regardless of the Consultants'
status as "employees" under Rule 405 of the Commission, all services rendered
by the Consultants hereunder have been rendered as independent contractors,
and the Consultants shall be liable for any FICA taxes, withholding or other
similar taxes or charges, and the Consultants shall indemnify and hold ACTI
harmless therefrom; it is understood and agreed that the value of all such
items has been taken into account by the Consultants in computing the billable
rate for the services the Consultants have rendered and agreed to render to
ACTI.
1.3 Term. All services performed at the request of ACTI by the
Consultants shall have been performed within 120 days from the date hereof, at
which time this Plan shall terminate, unless otherwise provided herein;
provided, however, this Plan may be extended for an additional 120 day period
by written agreement of ACTI and any of the Consultants.
1.4 Payment. ACTI and the Consultants agree that ACTI shall pay
the invoices of the Consultants for the services performed under this Plan by
the issuance of shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $0.05
per share; provided, however, such shares of common stock shall be issued
pursuant to and shall be subject to the filing and effectiveness of a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering such shares with the Commission.
1.5 Invoices for Services. On the completion of rendering the
services performed by the Consultants hereunder, each of the Consultants shall
provide ACTI with a written invoice detailing the services duly performed.
Such invoice shall be paid by ACTI in accordance with Section 1.4 above,
subject to the satisfaction of the management of ACTI that the services have
been performed, and to the extent performed, that the performance was in a
satisfactory manner. The submission of an invoice for the services performed
by each of the Consultants shall be deemed to be a subscription by the
respective Consultants to purchase shares of common stock of ACTI at the price
outlined in Section 1.4 above, subject only to the filing and effectiveness of
a Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering such shares with the Commission.
1.6 Common Stock Price. To the extent deemed required or
necessary and for all purposes of this Plan, the Consultants shall have an
"option" covering such shares of common stock at the per share price set forth
in paragraph 1.4 above during the term hereof; the Consultants assume the risk
of any decrease in the per share price or value of the shares of common stock
of ACTI that may be issued by ACTI for services performed by the Consultants
hereunder, and the Consultants agree that any such decrease shall in no way
affect the rights, obligations or duties of the Consultants hereunder.
1.7 Limitation on Services. None of the services rendered by
the Consultants and paid for by the issuance of shares of common stock of ACTI
shall be services related to any "capital raising" transaction.
1.8 Delivery of Shares. On submission of an invoice for
services actually performed by the respective Consultants, and duly verified
to the satisfaction of ACTI, and subject to the filing and effectiveness of a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 of the Commission covering such shares, one
or more stock certificates representing such shares shall be delivered to the
respective Consultants at the addresses listed on the Counterpart Signature
Pages, unless another address shall be provided to ACTI in writing prior to
the issuance of such shares.
1.9 Adjustments in the Number of Shares of Common Stock and
Price Per Share. ACTI and the Consultants agree that the per share price of
shares of common stock that may be issued by ACTI to the Consultants for
services performed under this Plan has been arbitrarily set by ACTI; however,
in the event ACTI shall undergo a merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, declare a stock dividend of its shares of common stock or
cause to be implemented a forward or reverse stock split which affects the
present number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of ACTI prior
to the issuance of shares to the Consultants, that the per share price and the
number of shares issuable to the Consultants for services actually rendered
hereunder after such event shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any such
event.
1.10 Effective Date. The Effective Date of the Plan for each of
the Consultants shall be the date set forth on the respective Counterpart
Signature Pages.
1.11 Conditions. The Plan is subject to the following
conditions, to-wit:
(i) The number of shares of common stock to be issued under
the Plan shall in no event exceed 10% of the total issued
and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on the
date of issuance; and
(ii) The issuance of 150,000 shares and
any option granted herein to Joe K.
Johnson shall be subject to the closing of
a reorganization with Dancor, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Dancor"), by
January 31, 1999, or within a reasonable
time thereafter.

2.2 Compensation Plan. The Board of Directors of ACTI has duly
adopted a Compensation Plan as defined in Rule 405 of the Commission pursuant

to be issued under the Plan; shall cooperate with such professional in every
manner whatsoever to the extent reasonably required or necessary so that such
Registration Statement shall be competently prepared, which such Registration

state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and
which such Registration Statement shall become effective immediately upon its
filing; such Registration Statement shall be prepared at the sole cost and
expense of ACTI; and ACTI will provide to the Consultants prior to the
issuance and delivery of any such shares of common stock a copy of such
Registration Statement, the Compensation Plan adopted by its Board of
Directors, all quarterly, annual or current reports or other documents
incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement and any other
similar reports filed or publicly disseminated following the effective date of
any such Registration Statement.

ACTI shall fully comply with any and all federal or state securities laws,
rules and regulations governing the issuance of any such shares of common
stock.

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), and ACTI has or will file
with the Commission all reports required to be filed by it forthwith, and
shall continue to file such reports with the Commission so long as required,
but for a period of not less than one year; and such reports are or will be
true and correct in every material respect.
2.7 Corporate Authority and Due Authorization. ACTI has full
corporate power and authority to enter into this Plan and to carry out its
obligations hereunder. Execution of this Plan and performance by ACTI
hereunder have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the
part of ACTI, and this Plan constitutes a valid and binding obligation of ACTI

Re: A.X.R. Development Corporation, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (to be changed to Advanced Coating
Technologies, Inc. [the "Company"])
Dear Mr. Burningham:
Thank you for your letter dated December 15, 1998, regarding the
S-8 proposals of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which I have
reviewed.
I am not a promoter or public relations person for the Company or
any other entity; I am a stockholder of Dancor, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
which I introduced to the Company. I have not and do not intend to raise any
funding for the Company. I have the financial and business acumen to assist
the Company in evaluating the proposal of Dancor, and have agreed to provide
my services to the Company for the issuance of 200,000 post-split shares of
the Company's common stock, to be registered on form S-8, provided, however,
that if the proposed reorganization with Dancor does not close, then I will
only receive 50,000 of these shares.
The services I have rendered and intend to render for the benefit
of the Company include reviewing all relevant information respecting Dancor,
including its business plan and financial statements; and meeting with its
directors, executive officers and counsel. The information I gather will be
discussed with you and your father, Leonard W. Burningham, Esq., whom I
understand represents the Company in connection with the proposal of Dancor,
and the directors and executive officers of the Company. I have and will make
myself available for all meetings in respect of the proposal of Dancor,
including the closing of the reorganization, if it is completed.
I acknowledge receipt of a copy of all reports filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission during the past 12 months,
and a copy of the written compensation agreement for my services.
Thank you.
/s/Joe Johnson
