PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
ITEM 1
THE PLAN
The name of this plan is the Michael K. Hair, P.C. Compensation Plan (the
"Plan") and Coronado Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant") will fund the Plan with
up to 40,000 shares of its $.001 par value common stock (the "Stock"). The Plan
is the Letter Agreement between Michael K. Hair, P.C. ("MKH") and the
Registrant. 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 25,000,000 shares
of common stock ("Common Stock"), of which 21,653,842 shares were issued and
outstanding on September 1, 1998, and 3,000,000 shares of $.001 par value
Preferred Stock, of which no shares have been issued as of September 1, 1998.
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
MKH is the only participant in the Plan and will pay for the Shares at the
rate of $.50 per share by performing the services described in the Letter
Agreement executed by MKH and the Registrant. The Shares totalling $20,000 in
value will be issued to MKH by the Registrant pursuant to the Plan.
The Shares will not be purchased in the open market.

<PAGE>
RESALE RESTRICTIONS
Since the Registrant does not satisfy the requirements for the use of Form
S-3, MKH, even though not a controlling person, is bound by the volume
limitations of Rule 144, which would not be applicable because any shareholder
may sell up to 216,538 shares of Registrant's common stock in any 90 day period
under Rule 144.
ITEM 2
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1997 and all reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 subsequent to December 31, 1997 are incorporated by reference into this
Prospectus. Copies of these documents are available to MKH, without charge, upon
written or oral request made to the Registrant at 16929 E. Enterprise Drive,
Suite 202, Fountain Hills, Arizona 85268, telephone number (602) 837-6810.

Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law, as amended, applies

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 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED. Not applicable.
Item 8. EXHIBITS.
Exhibit Index located at Page 9.
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;
6
<PAGE>
(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 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.

Re: Coronado Industries, Inc. - Compensation Plan
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Coronado Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") filed under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the
registration of 40,000 shares of its Common Stock, $.001 par value (the
"Shares"), issuable pursuant to the Company's Compensation Plan (the "Plan").
In that connection, we have examined such documents, corporate records and
other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of
this opinion, including the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the
Company.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a
corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada.
2. The Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms of
the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
