General Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 9, 2006. Effective December 14, 2009 we have relocated our principal place of business and corporate offices to 518 17th Street, Suite 1000, Denver Colorado, telephone number 303 623 1440. Management was of the view that a change in business direction would be in the best interests of company shareholders; particularly given the inability to capitalize and expand on our past business plan. Management has chosen to research opportunities in different industry sectors with a focus on the resource sector given current commodity prices. The anticipation is this research will ultimately lead to a potential acquisition in some form or manner. Our fiscal year end has been changed to December 31st.
Effective December 14, 2009, we appointed Larry Kellison to our board of directors and to act as our President, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Kellison is a Certified Petroleum Geologist with more than 30 years of varied oil and gas experience. In conjunction with the appointment of Mr. Kellison, we have accepted the resignations of Alejandro Quesada, Floricel Leiton and Shawn Phillips as directors and/or officers of our company.
Effective December 17, 2009, we appointed Donald Sharpe, Drew Bonnell and Michael David to our board of directors and have appointed Donald Sharpe as our President and Drew Bonnell as our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. David will be an independent director and will act as Chairman of our companys audit committee once formed. In conjunction with the appointments of Messrs. Sharpe and Bonnell, we have accepted the resignation of Mr. Kellison as President and Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Mr. Kellison will serve as our companys Chief Operating Officer. Our board of directors now consists of Larry Kellison, Donald Sharpe, Drew Bonnell and Michael David. Mr. Sharpe is a Professional Geophysicist with 30 years experience in the oil and gas business. Mr. Bonnell holds a Masters in Business Administration with 33 years business related experience. Mr. David is a Chartered Accountant with 27 years business related experience.
Prior to the December 2009 change our principal place of business and corporate offices were located at Tibas del Correo, 50 metros Norte y 25 metros al Este, San Jose, Republic of Costa Rica, telephone number 702-987-1847. Coronado was originally formed as a health services company that intended to build and operate a dental clinic in Costa Rica. Our companys fiscal year end was March 31st.
4
Since inception to mid December 2009 our company actively pursued its dental and health related business. These activities were more fully described in past quarterly Form 10-Q and annul Form 10-K reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A change occurred on March 31, 2009, when our company transferred ownership of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bosque Tranquilo S.A., to Alejandro Quesada, a former officer and director of our company, including all assets, title, interest and liabilities of the subsidiary. In consideration of this transfer, Mr. Quesada has agreed to waive any claim to money owed to him by our company as of March 31, 2009. Effective March 30, 2009, Mr. Quesada resigned his officer positions of our company and appointed Floricel Letion to the positions of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer. These transactions were more fully described in company Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3 and 6, 2009.
From April 1, 2009 through to December 2009 our company redirected its business focus towards launching and operating a website to promote dental services and vacation packages in Costa Rica. Specifically, our company was to introduce the public to the services of various third-party dentists and dental clinics in Costa Rica for a fee from both the consumer and the dentist. The plan was for our company to also arrange for hotel accommodations and tour packages for those individuals. Management at the time was to utilize the services of the dentists and dental clinics with whom Coronado Corp has introduced to. Management registered the internet domain name www.dental-vacation.com, which was to be used for promoting these services. Due to the inability to generate revenues and continue with operations, management elected to alter our company’s business direction in mid December 2009.
On December 16, 2009, our company entered into a Letter Agreement with an oil and gas operator, pursuant to which we would participate for a 15% working interest in a 26,000 acre unit project in Alaska, which was a farm-out from BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. Consideration for the assignment of the interest in the project would primarily consist of our company funding certain costs in regards to a 2009-2010 winter drilling program and a 15% share of the costs to restart the local processing plant. A deposit of $325,000 pending BP Explorations consent to the proposed assignment to Coronado Corp. was posted to secure the Letter Agreement on behalf of the company, funded in equal amounts of $162,500 each by D. Sharpe Management Inc., a privately held company owned and controlled by our president, and by Michael Bodino, a company shareholder. BP Explorations consent to the assignment was granted on January 12, 2010.
Due to the severe timing restrictions involved, we were unable to secure funding as required to participate in the project, and the Letter Agreement and obligations pursuant to the agreement expired on January 15, 2010, thus terminating the agreement with the oil and gas operator. Our company continues to pursue this opportunity with the operator in attempts to secure some manner of participation in their Alaska project. With the expiry of the Letter Agreement and some doubt of further negotiations ending favorably, the Company has expensed the $325,000 deposit and recorded it within the period ending December 31, 2009. If unsuccessful, we will research other potential resource opportunities elsewhere.
Our company has sustained losses since inception, January 9, 2006, to December 31, 2009, of $447,909 and relies solely upon the sale of securities and loans from corporate officers and directors for funding.
Our Current Business
Since our change of management in December 2009, we are engaged in the business of exploration and development of oil and gas properties. Over the next twelve months we intend to secure a project of merit within the resource sector and commence with further development of the project.
Competition
The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staff. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. There are other competitors that have operations in the areas we are interested in and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to acquire additional leases and/or equipment as required.
5
Governmental Regulations
Our oil and gas operations are subject to various national, state and/or provincial, and local governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, and pooling of properties and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and gas. The production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and gas, by-products thereof, and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations are also subject to regulation under federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating primarily to the protection of human health and the environment. To date, expenditures related to complying with these laws, and for remediation of existing environmental contamination, have not been significant in relation to the results of operations of our company. The requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are frequently changed and subject to interpretation, and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations.
Research and Development
We have incurred $Nil in research and development expenditures over the last fiscal year.
Employees
Currently our only employees are our directors and officers. Our officers and directors are donating their time to the development of our company and intend to do whatever work is necessary in order to bring us to the point of being able to implement our business plan.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those set forth below:
We are a start-up company with a lack of operating history and profitability. Coronado Corp. has incurred losses since inception, and we expect those losses to continue in the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
We were incorporated on January 9, 2006, and we have not started any business operations nor realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. As a result, it is possible that we may not generate any revenues in the future. Since inception, to December 31, 2009, Coronado Corp. has incurred a net loss of $447,909.
In order to generate revenue, we are dependent on our ability to find a project within our new focus area, the resource sector, and at some point develop this project to the point of production and sales.
Based upon current plans, we expect operating losses in future periods. If we do not generate enough future revenues to cover our expenses before the business has become profitable, we would have to suspend or cease operations and you could lose your investment.
Because Coronado Corp. is a small company and does not have much capital, if we are unable to raise additional funds to meet our needs we may have to scale back our operations, which could result in a loss of your investment.
Because we are a small company with limited financial resources, we may be unable to sufficiently finance our operations until we generate revenues sufficient to cover our expenses. If that were the case, we would have to raise more capital to finance our operations in order for the business to be successful.
6
If we are unable to raise the capital required to finance our operations, then we would be unable to generate revenues sufficient to maintain our business and this could result in a loss of your investment.
Because Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Kellison, and Mr. Bonnell have other outside business activities, they can only dedicate a limited amount of their time to Coronado Corp.s operations. This could result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of the business plan.
Because our company officers, Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Kellison, and Mr. Bonnell have other outside business interests, they will only be able to devote a limited amount of their time to our operations. Coronado Corp. operations may occur at times which are inconvenient to Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Kellison and Mr. Bonnell, which could result in the development of our plan being periodically interrupted or suspended.
If our officers and directors resign or die without having found replacements, our operations may be suspended or cease altogether. Should that occur, it could result in a loss of your investment.
We have three officers and four directors and we are entirely dependent upon them in order to conduct our operations. If they should resign or die, there may be no one to run Coronado Corp. The company has no Key Man insurance. If such an event were to take place and we were unable to find other persons to run Coronado Corp., our operations could be suspended or cease entirely, and this could result in the loss of your investment.
We will incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance, without revenue we may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to sell their shares, if at all.
Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To maintain eligibility for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. Market Makers are not permitted to quote a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's "Penny Stock" regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors." The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
7
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Trading in our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.
Our common shares are currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.

We do not have any investments or interests in any real estate. We do not invest in real estate mortgages, nor do we invest in Securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our company.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 of this annual report.
Our consolidated audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Overview
The following plan of operation should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. Statements contained herein which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, as that term is defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those projected. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: established competitors who have substantially greater financial resources and operating histories, regulatory delays or denials, ability to compete as a start-up company in a highly competitive market, and access to sources of capital.
Results of Operations
We have conducted no material operations during the period ended December 31, 2009, and do not have any present operations. During the period ended December 31, 2009, we generated no revenues. Accordingly, a discussion of our results of operations is not meaningful and will not be presented herein.
The following table provides selected financial data about our company as of and for the period ended December 31, 2009 and the year ended March 31, 2009.
Balance Sheet Data: | December 31, 2009 | March 31, 2009 | ||||

Stockholders equity | $ | (333,455 | ) | $ | 8,845 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The report of our auditors on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, contains a going concern qualification as we have suffered losses since our inception. We have minimal assets and have achieved no operative revenues since our inception. We have depended on loans and sales of equity securities to conduct operations. Unless and until we commence material operations and achieve material revenues, we will remain dependent on financings to continue our operations. We will be required to raise additional capital over the next twelve months to meet our ongoing expenses.
10
Plan of Operation and Cash Requirements
With a recent management change in December 2009, our plan over the next 12 months is to research projects of merit principally within the resource sector. We anticipate that this research will ultimately lead to a potential acquisition in some form or manner. In order to carry out our plans we will require the matching funding to cover acquisition costs, working capital, and any other related or ongoing expenditures until sufficient revenue is generated to sustain operations.
On December 16, 2009, our company entered into a Letter Agreement with an oil and gas operator, pursuant to which we would participate for a 15% working interest in a 26,000 acre unit project in Alaska, which was a farm-out from BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. Consideration for the assignment of the interest in the project would primarily consist of our company funding certain costs in regards to a 2009-2010 winter drilling program and a 15% share of the costs to restart the local processing plant. A deposit of $325,000 pending BP Explorations consent to the proposed assignment to Coronado Corp. was posted to secure the Letter Agreement on behalf of the company, funded in equal amounts of $162,500 each by D. Sharpe Management Inc., a privately held company owned and controlled by our president, and by Michael Bodino, a company shareholder. BP Explorations consent to the assignment was granted on January 12, 2010.
Due to the severe timing restrictions involved, we were unable to secure funding as required to participate in the project, and the Letter Agreement and obligations pursuant to the agreement expired on January 15, 2010, thus terminating the agreement with the oil and gas operator. Our company continues to pursue this opportunity with the operator in attempts to secure some manner of participation in their Alaska project. With the expiry of the Letter Agreement and some doubt of further negotiations ending favorably, the Company has expensed the $325,000 deposit and recorded it within the period ending December 31, 2009.
On March 1, 2010 we engaged FIG Partners LLC of Atlanta Georgia (FIG) to provide advisory services and act on a best efforts basis as the Companys exclusive placement agent in connection with a debt/equity financing relating to the Alaska oil and gas project described above. A non-refundable retainer of $12,500 was advanced on behalf of the company by D. Sharpe Management Inc., a privately held company owned and controlled by our president. The engagement agreement provided for a further $12,500 to be advanced on March 15, 2010 but this has not yet been paid. The Company has agreed to pay FIG a fee equal to 6% of the principal value of securities sold by the Company, plus five year term warrants to purchase common stock in the Company equal to 6% of the principal value of the equity offering, or, in the event of non-equity securities being issued by the Company, five year term warrants with a strike price equal to the 30-day Volume Weighted Average Price on the day of closing the offering, or $0.50, whichever is greater. Retainer amounts advanced to FIG will be applied against the placement fee due upon completion of any capital raised for the Company by FIG. If we are unsuccessful with this Alaska project we intend to research other potential resource opportunities elsewhere.
If we are unable to generate enough revenue to stay in business or run out of cash, we will have to find alternative sources for money, be it a public offering, a private placement of securities or loans from our officers or others, and/or other sources or methods of financing. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to meet our needs for cash, then we may be unable to continue, develop, or expand our activities or operations.
While the officers and directors have generally indicated a willingness to provide services and financial contributions if necessary, there are presently no agreements, arrangements, commitments, or specific understandings, either verbally or in writing, between the officers and directors and Coronado Corp.
If we are unable to pay for our expenses because we do not have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we cannot or do not raise more money, we will be forced to cease operations.
We have no present plans to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment. We also have no present plans to add employees although we may do so in the future if we engage in any merger or acquisition transactions.
Coronado Corp. has never declared bankruptcy, been in receivership, or been involved in any kind of legal proceeding.
11
Assuming maintenance of our current operations and the investigation of possible acquisitions, over the next twelve months we expect to expend funds as follows:
Estimated Net Expenditures During the Next Twelve Months
$ | |||
General, Administrative, and Corporate Expenses | 175,000 | ||
Contingencies and Other | 25,000 | ||
Total | 200,000 |
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a successful program of exploration and/or development, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Results of Operations Nine Months Ended December 31, 2009 and Twelve Months Ended March 31, 2009
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, which are included herein.

Going Concern
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has accumulated losses of $447,909 since inception, has a working capital deficiency of $333,455 and has earned no revenues since inception. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2010. The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development of its business plan. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to recoverable values of oil and gas properties, stock-based compensation, the provision for income taxes, depreciation, depletion and asset retirement obligations.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
14
Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accrued petroleum revenues, other receivables, accounts payable, and loan payable. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Management believes that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.

Coronado Corp.
(A
Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Coronado Corp. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2009, March 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 years ended, March 31, 2009, 2008 and since inception on January 9, 2006 through December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conduct our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Coronado Corp. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2009, March 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 years ended, March 31, 2009, 2008 and since inception on January 9, 2006 through December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses of $447,909 since inception, a working capital deficiency of $333,455 and has earned no revenues since inception, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Organization and Going Concern |
Coronado Corp. (the Company) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on January 9, 2006. Effective December 14, 2009 the Company relocated offices to Denver Colorado. Throughout the Companys history and prior to this relocation, the Company was based in San Jose, Costa Rica. The Company purchased a wholly-owned subsidiary, Bosque Tranquilo S.A. in San Jose, Costa Rica on October 12, 2006. On March 31, 2009, the Company disposed of Bosque Tranquilo S.A. | |
The Company is a development stage company, which as of December 14, 2009 is reviewing opportunities primarily within the resource sector. Prior to December 14, 2009 the Company had intended to offer dental services in Costa Rica. To date, the Companys activities have been limited to its formation and the raising of equity capital. The Company previously had a fiscal year end of March 31, but during the period changed its fiscal year end to December 31. | |
Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations | |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has accumulated losses of $447,909 since inception, has a working capital deficiency of $333,455 and has earned no revenues since inception. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2010. | |
The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development of its business plan. | |
In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings. | |
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. | |

Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Consolidation | |
For March 31, 2009 and 2008, these financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly- owned subsidiary, Bosque Tranquilo S.A. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. At March 31, 2009 the Company disposed of Bosque Tranquillo S.A. | |
Basis of Presentation | |
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) applicable to development stage companies. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

Significant Accounting Policies - Continued |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $1,345 and $7,536 in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. | |
Financial Instruments | |
The Companys financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable. Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Management believes that the recorded values of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations. | |
Property and Equipment | |
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company has adopted the policy of depreciation being computed by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which is up to 5 years for equipment and the shorter of lease terms or 10 years for leasehold improvements. The depreciation expense on property and equipment was $3,386 and $18,783 for the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At March 31, 2009, the Company disposed of all its property and equipment. | |
Income Taxes | |
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards when realization is more likely than not. |

Significant Accounting Policies Continued |
Earnings (Loss) per Share | |
The Company has adopted ASC 260 Earnings Per Share, (EPS) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. | |
Foreign Currency Transactions | |
The Companys functional currency is the US dollar. | |
For foreign currency transactions, the Company translates these amounts to the Companys functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the invoice date. If the exchange rate changes between the time of purchase and the time actual payment is made, a foreign exchange transaction gain or loss results which is included in determining net income for the period. | |
No significant realized exchange gains or losses were recorded from inception (January 9, 2006) to the period ended December 31, 2009. | |
Goodwill | |
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 350 Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives should not be amortized but rather be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may be impaired. The Company wrote off goodwill charges upon the disposition of its wholly-owned subsidiary on March 31, 2009. | |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | |
ASC 220 Comprehensive Income establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. From inception (January 9, 2006) to December 31, 2009, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income. Therefore, net loss equals comprehensive loss from inception (January 9, 2006) to December 31, 2009. |

The amounts will bear 10% annual interest and are unsecured and have no terms of repayment. As at December 31, 2009, $1,354 in accrued interest has been recorded. Refer to Note 7. | |

Exploration Advance |
On December 16, 2009, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with an oil and gas operator, pursuant to which the Company would participate for a 15% working interest in a 26,000 acre unit project in Alaska, which was a farm-out from BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. Consideration for the assignment of the interest in the project would primarily consist of the Company funding certain costs in regards to a 2009-2010 winter drilling program and a 15% share of the costs to restart the local processing plant. A deposit of $325,000 pending BP Explorations consent to the proposed assignment to Coronado Corp. was posted to secure the Letter Agreement on behalf of the company, funded in equal amounts of $162,500 each by D. Sharpe Management Inc., a privately held company owned and controlled by our president, and by Michael Bodino, a company shareholder. BP Explorations consent to the assignment was granted on January 12, 2010. Due to the severe timing restrictions involved, the Company was unable to secure funding as required to participate in the project, and the Letter Agreement and obligations pursuant to the agreement expired on January 15, 2010, thus terminating the agreement with the oil and gas operator. The Company continues to pursue this opportunity with the operator in attempts to secure some manner of participation in their Alaska project. With the expiry of the Letter Agreement and doubt of further negotiations ending favorably, the Company has expensed the $325,000 deposit and recorded it within the period ending December 31, 2009. | |

On March 1, 2010 the Company engaged FIG Partners LLC of Atlanta Georgia (FIG) to provide advisory services and act on a best efforts basis as the Companys exclusive placement agent in connection with a debt/equity financing relating to the Alaska oil and gas project described in Note 7.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods, including the interim period up through the date the relationship ended.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2009.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control process has been designed, under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Companys financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 was not effective for the reason described herein.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, (2) inability of new management to confirm the controls of past management were adequate. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2009.
Management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of the Companys assets that could have a material affect on the Companys financial statements are prevented or timely detected.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparations and presentations. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
18
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009. There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered in this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide on managements report on this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date. We have not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.

The following table sets forth, as of March 25, 2010, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.

(1) | (1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on March 25, 2010. As of March 25, 2010 there were 5,175,000 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding |
Changes in Control
We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended December 31, 2009, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year end for the last three completed fiscal years.

Related Party Transactions
As at December 31, 2009, the Company is indebted to a privately held company owned and controlled by the Companys president in the amount of $162,500 and to a company shareholder in the amount of $162,500. The amounts will bear 10% annual interest and are unsecured and have no terms of repayment. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company was obligated to directors, who are also stockholders and one is a former officer of the Company, for non-interest bearing demand loans with a balance of $8,500. The Company reached an agreement to cancel the $8,500 in the exchange for the disposition of Bosque Tranquillo, S.A. on March 31, 2009
Director Independence
We currently act with four (4) directors, consisting of Donald Sharpe, Drew Bonnell, Larry Kellison and Michael David.
We have determined that Michael David is an independent director, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of National Association of Securities Dealers.
Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.
Our board of directors has determined that it does have a member of its audit committee who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and for fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:
Year Ended | ||
December 31, 2009 | March 31,2009 | |
Audit Fees | $5,000 | $6,500 |
Audit Related Fees | Nil | Nil |
Tax Fees | Nil | Nil |
All Other Fees | Nil | Nil |
Total | $5,000 | $6,500 |
Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
26
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors independence.
