XIN NET CORP.
Re: SB-2 Registration Statement for common shares of XIN NET CORP.
Gentlemen:
At your request, I have examined the form of Registration Statement No.
333-90575 which you are filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on
Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement"), in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of up to 16,503,910 shares of your
common stock (the "Stock") issuable pursuant to the 1999 Registration Statement
file No. 333-90575 when effective.
In rendering the following opinion, I have examined and relied only upon
the documents, and certificates of officers and directors of the Company as are
specifically described below. In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of the documents
submitted to me as originals, and the conformity with the original documents of
all documents submitted to me as copies. My examination was limited to the
following documents and not others:
a. Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date;
b. Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date;
c. Certified Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company
authorizing the Plan and the issuance of the Stock.
d. The Registration Statement.
I have not undertaken, nor do I intend to undertake, any independent
investigation beyond such documents and records, or to verify the adequacy of
accuracy of such documents and records.
Based on the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Stock being registered
under the Registration Statement, when issued, is duly and validly authorized,
fully paid and non-assessable.
I express no opinion as to compliance with the securities or "blue sky"
laws of any state in which the Stock is proposed to be offered and sold or as to
the effect, if any, which non-compliance with such laws might have on the
validity of transfer of the Stock.
<PAGE>
I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to any filing made
with the Securities and Exchange Commission or under any state or other
jurisdiction's securities act for the purpose of registering, qualifying or
establishing eligibility for an exemption from registration or qualification of
the Stock described in the Registration Statement in connection with the
offering described therein. Other than as provided in the preceding sentence,
this opinion (i) is addressed solely to you, (ii) may not be relied upon by any
other party, (iii) covers only matters of Florida and federal law and nothing in
this opinion shall be deemed to imply any opinion related to the laws of any
other jurisdiction, (iv) may not be quoted or reproduced or delivered by you to
any other person, and (v) may not be relied upon for any other purpose
whatsoever. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relate to or constitute an opinion
concerning any matters not specifically set forth above.
By giving you this opinion and consent, I do not admit that I am a expert
with respect to any part of the Registration Statement or Prospectus within the
meaning of the term "expert" as used in Section 11 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission promulgated thereunder.
The information set forth herein is as of the date of this letter. I
disclaim any undertaking to advise you of changes which may be brought to my
attention after the effective date of the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
/s/Michael A. Littman
