Ladies and Gentlemen:
Re: Information-Highway.com Registration Statement on Form SB-2
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Information-Highwaycom, Inc., a Florida
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of the
registration statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), relating to the public offering
(the "Offering") of up to 6,089,750 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's
common stock, $0.0001 par value (the "Common Stock"), to be sold by the selling
stockholders. This opinion is being furnished pursuant to Item 601(b)(5) of
Regulation S-B under the Act.
In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have reviewed (a) the
Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto; (b) the Company's Articles of
Incorporation; (c) the Company's Bylaws; (d) certain records of the Company's
corporate proceedings as reflected in its minute books; and (e) such statutes,
records and other documents as we have deemed relevant. In our examination, we
have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, and conformity with the originals of all
documents submitted to us as copies thereof. In addition, we have made such
other examinations of law and fact as we have deemed relevant in order to form a
basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. Based upon the foregoing, we are of
the opinion that the Shares are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
