PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this
Registration Statement the following documents or portions thereof as indicated:
(a) the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995;
(b) the Registrant's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended March 30, 1996 and all other reports
filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act") since January 1, 1996; and
(c) the description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained
in the Registrant's Registration Statement, as amended,
on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933
(Registration No. 33-98704).
In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities
offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference and to be a part
hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Registrant has authority under Section 607.0850 of the
Florida Business Corporation Act to indemnify its directors and officers to the
extent provided in such statute. The Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles
of Incorporation provide that the Registrant may indemnify its executive
officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law either now or
hereafter. The Registrant has also entered into an agreement with each of its
directors and certain of its officers wherein it has agreed to indemnify each of
them to the fullest extent permitted by law.
The provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act that
authorize indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director, and
in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other
forms of nonmonetary relief will remain available under Florida law. In
addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for (a)
violations of the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful; (b) deriving an improper personal benefit from a transaction; (c)
voting for or assenting to an unlawful distribution; and (d) willful misconduct
or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the Registrant in a
proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its
favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder. The statute does
not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the
federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") may be permitted to
directors, officers or controlling persons of Registrant, pursuant to the
foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that, in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (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
II - 1
<PAGE>
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of Registrant in the successful defense of any suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered hereunder, 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 whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the 1993 Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding
involving a director or officer of the Registrant as to which indemnification is
being sought, nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may
result in claims for indemnification by any officer or director.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS
See "Exhibit Index" on page II-6.
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;
(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective 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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission 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
II - 2
<PAGE>
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 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: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On the date hereof, ElectroStar, Inc., a Florida corporation (the
"Company"), sent for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Registration Statement
relates to the offering and sale by the Company of up to 50,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), pursuant
to the Company's 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). We have acted
as special counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation and filing
of the Registration Statement.
<PAGE>
ElectroStar, Inc.

- ---------------
In connection therewith, we have examined and relied upon the original
or a copy, certified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company; (ii) records of corporate
proceedings of the Company authorizing the Plan, any amendments thereto, and the
preparation of the Registration Statement and related matters; (iii) the
Registration Statement and exhibits thereto; and (iv) such other documents and
instruments as we have deemed necessary for the expression of the opinions
herein contained. In making the foregoing examinations, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, and the conformity to original documents of all documents
submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies. As to various questions of
fact material to this opinion, we have relied, to the extent we deem reasonably
appropriate, upon representations or certificates of officers or directors of
the Company and upon documents, records and instruments furnished to us by the
Company, without independently checking or verifying the accuracy of such
documents, records and instruments.
Based upon the foregoing examination, we are of the opinion that the
Company presently has available at least 50,000 authorized and unissued shares
of Common Stock from which the 50,000 shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold
pursuant to the Plan may be issued, and, assuming that the Company maintains an
adequate number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available for
issuance pursuant to purchases made under the Plan and the consideration for
shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan is actually received by the
Company as provided in the Plan, the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to
purchases made under and in accordance with the terms of the Plan will be duly
and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we come
within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the
Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Sincerely,
GREENBERG, TRAURIG, HOFFMAN,
LIPOFF, ROSEN & QUENTEL, P.A.
