Re: THEREADYMAN.COM, INC.
Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Gentlemen:
I have been retained by THEREADYMAN.COM, INC.(the "Company") in connection
with the Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement") on Form SB-2, to
be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to
the offering of securities of the Company. You have requested that I render my
opinion as to whether or not the securities proposed to be issued on terms set
forth in the Registration Statement will be validly issued, fully paid, and
nonassessable.
In connection with the request, we have examined the following:
1. Articles of Incorporation of the Company;
2. Bylaws of the Company;
3. The Registration Statement; and
4. Unanimous consent resolutions of the Company's Board of Directors.
We have examined such other corporate records and documents and have made
such other examinations as we have deemed relevant. Based on the above
examination, I am of the opinion that the securities of the Company to be issued
pursuant to the Registration Statement are validly authorized and, when issued
in accordance with the terms set forth in the Registration Statement, will be
validly issued, and fully paid, and non-assessable under the corporate laws of
the State of California.
We consent to our name being used in the Registration Statement as
having rendered the foregoing opinion and as having represented the Company in
connection with the Registration Statement.
Sincerely,
Kennan E. Kaeder
KEK/jc
