RE: REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM SB-2
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Advanced Electronic Support Products, Inc.,
a Florida corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and
filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Registration
Statement relates to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock, par value $.001 per share, all of which are issued and outstanding (the
"Shares").
We have examined such corporate records, documents, instruments and
certificates of the Company and have received such representations from the
officers and directors of the Company and have reviewed such questions of law as
we have deemed necessary, relevant or appropriate to enable us to render the
opinion expressed herein. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures and authenticity of all documents, instruments, records and
certificates submitted to us as originals.
Based upon such examination and review and upon the representations
made to us by the officers and directors of the Company, we are of the opinion
that the Shares, when paid for in accordance with the terms of the Registration
Statement, will be duly and validly authorized and will be validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
The opinions expressed herein are limited to the corporate laws of the
State of Florida and we express no opinion as to the effect on the matters
covered by the laws of any other jurisdiction. Our opinion as to the matters
expressed herein is as of the date above and we disclaim any obligation to
update our opinion.
This firm consents to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to the firm under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus which is part of the Registration Statement. In
giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included within the
category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities
Act to the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
AKERMAN, SENTERFITT & EIDSON, P.A.
