Re: Registration Statement on Form SB-2 Filed by Unitrend, Inc.
with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Unitrend, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with proposed public offering of up to 4,000,000
shares of common stock, no par value (the "Shares") pursuant to a Registration
Statement on Form SB-2 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Registration Statement"). In connection with the foregoing, we have been
requested by you to render an opinion with respect to the issuance of sale of
the Shares.
In connection with the opinion set forth below, we have examined and relied
upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise, identified to our
satisfaction, as being true copies of the Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
and the By-laws of the Company, applicable records of corporate proceedings of
the Company, and such other documents, certificates or corporate or other
records as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinion set forth herein.
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal
capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted
to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of originals of
such copies.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares will be duly
authorized, and when certificates therefore have been duly executed, delivered
and paid for in accordance with the terms of the offering, will be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to (i) being it named in the Registration Statement under
the heading "Legal Matters" and (ii) the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to
the Registration Statement.
