RE: Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (S.E.C. File No. 333-
_________) covering the
Public Offering of Common
Shares
Gentlemen:
I have acted as counsel for First American Scientific Corp.
(the "Company"), in connection with registration by the Company
of an aggregate of 30,000,000 Common Shares, par value $0.001 per
share, underlying Options to be issued to employees, directors,
officers and/or others of the Company (the "Options"), all as
more fully set forth in the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to
be filed by the Company.
In such capacity, I have examined, among other documents,
the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, Bylaws and minutes of
meetings of its Board of Directors and shareholders, and the
Non-Qualifying Stock Option Plan of the Company.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to such further
examinations as I have deemed relevant and necessary, I am of the
opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing under the laws of the State of Nevada.
2. The Options and underlying Common Shares have been
legally and validly authorized under the Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, of the Company, and when issued and
paid for upon exercise of the Options, the Common Shares
underlying the Options will constitute duly and validly issued
and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, Common Shares of
the Company.
Yours truly,
/s/ Conrad C. Lysiak
