Re: BentleyCapitalCorp.com Inc. Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for BentleyCapitalCorp.com Inc., a Washington
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 500,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common
stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock"). This opinion is being furnished
pursuant to Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K 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 under Washington State Corporate law.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to all references to this Firm under the caption "Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel" in the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
