     In connection with this opinion, we have examined the originals or copies identified to our satisfaction, The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and other documents necessary to our opinion contained in this letter. We have also relied as to certain matters of fact upon representations made to us by officers and agents of the Company. Based upon and in reliance on the foregoing, it is our opinion that when there has been compliance with the Act and shares issued pursuant to warrants have been issued against payment of the requisite exercise price, the common shares of stock related to this registration will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     Our knowledge of the Company, its legal and other affairs is limited by the scope of our engagement for this opinion. We offer no opinions whatsoever concerning the accuracy or completeness of the prospectus.

     We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to any references to us, if any. This opinion is intended solely for use in connection with Registration Statement and is not to be relied upon for any other purpose.

Very truly yours,
