PROSPECTUS
----------
MEDICAL DYNAMICS, INC.
Up to 1,804,769 Shares of Common Stock
Offered for Resale by the Selling Shareholders
This Prospectus relates to up to 1,804,769 shares of common stock of
Medical Dynamics, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the "Company" or "MEDY") which
are being offered and sold by The Tail Wind Fund, Inc. ("Tail Wind") and by
Merchant Capital, Inc. ("MCI"), collectively referred to herein as the "Selling
Shareholders." The shares being offered by this Prospectus will be received by
the Selling Shareholders are defined in greater detail in the section below
entitled "Selling Shareholders," but which are summarized as follows:
up to 1,132,000 shares of MEDY's common stock (the "Common Stock") which
are issuable to Tail Wind as a result of the conversion of certain
debentures referred to as the "1998 Debentures" in the aggregate principal
amount of $1,500,000 based on a conversion price equal to the lesser of the
"Ceiling Price" or 85% of the Market Price (both as defined) on the
business day immediately preceding the conversion date (the "Conversion
Shares");
25,769 shares issued, and up to 410,000 shares of the Common Stock which
are issuable, to Tail Wind as interest on the 1998 Debentures to be
calculated at Market Price (as defined) (the "Interest Shares");
up to 150,000 shares issuable to Tail Wind on exercise of a warrant to
purchase Common Stock referred to as the "1998 Warrant" at an exercise
price equal to $2.58 per share (the "Warrant Shares");
up to 12,000 shares of Common Stock held by MCI; and
up to 75,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to MCI upon exercise of
options issued to MCI (the "MCI Options") at prices from $4.00 per share
(as to 25,000 shares), $4.50 per share (25,000 shares), and $5.00 per share
(25,000 shares).
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 4
<PAGE>
For the purposes of the 1998 Debentures held by Tail Wind, "Market Price"
is defined to mean the average of the two lowest closing bid prices of the
Common Stock as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market over the 60 trading day
period immediately preceding the determination date. As of March 18, 1999,
Market Price as defined in the 1998 Debentures would be $1.56 per share. For the
purposes of the 1998 Debentures, "Ceiling Price" is defined to mean 105% of the
average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the twenty trading days prior
to the effective date of this registration statement. The Ceiling Price is to be
adjusted on July 31, 2000, to 105% of the Market Price on that date if the
adjustment would result in a lower price. The number of shares available for
sale by Tail Wind has been estimated because the conversion of the convertible
securities will be based in part on the market price of the Common Stock on the
date of conversion.
One-third of the 1998 Debentures held by Tail Wind arecurrently
convertible, and the 1998 Warrants also held by Tail Wind are currently
exercisable, subject, however, to the "5% Limitation" and the "Future Priced
Securities" limitation which are explained in the section entitled "Selling
Shareholders," below. The remaining 1998 Debentures become convertible on June
1, 1998 (as to an additional one-third) and January 1, 2000 (as to all of the
1998 Debentures). The MCI Options held by MCI are also currently exercisable.
MEDY's common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market and is quoted
on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol "MEDY." On March 18, 1999, Nasdaq
reported that the closing price of the Common Stock was $2.625 per share.
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by
either of the Selling Shareholders, but will receive the exercise prices payable
upon exercise of the 1998 Warrants or the MCI Options (if exercised for cash).
There can be no assurance that all or any part of the Warrants or the MCI
Options will be exercised or that they will be exercised for cash. All expenses
incurred in connection with this offering (not including, however, commissions
or discounts paid or allowed by the Selling Shareholders to underwriters,
dealers, brokers or agents) are being borne by the Company.
The Selling Shareholders have not advised the Company of any specific plans
for the distribution of the Shares, but it is anticipated that the Shares may be
sold from time to time in transactions (which may include block transactions) on
the Nasdaq SmallCap market at the market prices then prevailing. Sales of the
Shares also may be made through negotiated transactions or otherwise. The
Selling Shareholders and the brokers and dealers though which the sales of the
Shares may be made may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning set
forth in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and their commissions and
discounts and other compensation may be regarded as underwriters' compensation.
See "Plan of Distribution" commencing at page 21, below.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the information,
including the financial statements, referred to elsewhere in this Prospectus.
The Company
Medical Dynamics, Inc., a Colorado corporation incorporated in March 1971
("MEDY" or the "Company"), is engaged in the design, development, manufacture
and marketing of medical and dental video cameras and related disposable
products for a variety of professional specialties. MEDY's principal products
are small, color, medical and dental video camera systems for use in patient
diagnosis and various surgical procedures. MEDY has been manufacturing such
cameras since August 1981. In October 1997 MEDY acquired Computer Age Dentist,
Inc. (CADI), a California corporation based in Los Angeles, California. CADI
operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which develops and sells
practice management software and related electronic services to the dental
profession. In February 1998, through CADI the Company acquired Information
Presentation Systems, Inc. of Marietta, Georgia, one of the nation's largest
suppliers of customized multimedia systems for use in a variety of dental
operatory environments. In April 1998, through CADI the Company acquired Command
Dental Systems of Farmington Hills, Michigan, which develops and markets
turn-key computer systems for the efficient management of dental practices.
The Company's principal executive offices and manufacturing facilities are
at 99 Inverness Drive East, Englewood, Colorado, 80112. Its telephone number at
that address is (303) 790-2990.
The Securities
Currently the only class of securities of MEDY for which there is a public
market is its Common Stock. As of December 31, 1998, as adjusted for the
issuance of interest shares to Tail Wind and the completion of equity financing
in March 1999, there were 10,851,270 shares of its Common Stock outstanding. See
"Description of Securities" commencing on page 22, of this Prospectus.
The Offering
The Selling Shareholders are offering up to 1,804,769 shares of Common
Stock (the "Shares"). Of these:
1,717,769 shares will be received by the Tail Wind upon conversion and
exercise of convertible securities described in "The 1998 Debentures and
Warrants" under the caption "Selling Shareholders" beginning on page 17 of
this Prospectus. The number of shares available for sale by the Tail Wind
has been estimated because the conversion of the convertible securities
will be based in part on the market price of the Common Stock on the date
of conversion.
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 9
<PAGE>
12,000 shares are held by MCI, and an additional 75,000 shares are issuable
upon exercise of the MCI Options described under the caption "Selling
Shareholders" beginning on page 17 of this Prospectus.
The Selling Shareholder will receive all of the proceeds from the offer and sale
of the Shares. The Company will receive proceeds to the extent either of the
Selling Shareholders exercise the Warrants or the MCI Options for cash.
The Company will pay the costs related to the filing of the registration
statement in which this Prospectus is included. The Selling Shareholders will
pay their own expenses related to the offer and sale of the Shares, including
any underwriter discounts or commissions.
RISK FACTORS
The securities offered hereby are speculative and involve a high degree of
risk, including, but not limited to, the risk factors described below. Each
prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors
inherent in and affecting the business of MEDY and this offering before making
an investment decision.
1. Losses from Operations. MEDY has a history of net operating losses,
which, when accumulated, total $20,792,400 through December 31, 1998. This has
resulted in working capital shortages from time to time. MEDY can give no
assurance that it will be able to operate profitably in the future. The
likelihood of the success of MEDY must be considered in light of the problems,
expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in
connection with the regulatory environments in which MEDY operates, the problems
related to research and development of new products subject to Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA") and other government approvals and regulations, and
substantial competition from other companies as to those products.
2. Working Capital Shortages and Dependence on Third Party Financing. As
discussed in MEDY's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1998, MEDY has regularly incurred working capital shortages and
has sought to alleviate these shortages through debt and equity financing
provided by third party and affiliated investors and, most recently, through a
working capital line of credit from an unaffiliated bank. There can be no
assurance that such sources of capital will continue to be available on terms
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 10
<PAGE>
which are acceptable to MEDY. Eventually MEDY will be required to finance its
operations with its cash flow, and MEDY is attempting to increase its revenues
in an effort to do so. There can be no assurance, however, that the working
capital shortages which MEDY has incurred will not continue and may not
adversely affect MEDY's ability to raise additional debt or equity capital if
necessary.
3. Risk of Dilution from Conversion of Convertible Debentures. Assuming
full conversion of the 1998 Debentures as of the date hereof at the Market Price
set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, 1,132,000 shares of Common Stock
would be issued to the Selling Shareholder. Although this would result in a
conversion of a liability on MEDY's balance sheet to equity, this would result
in dilution to existing MEDY shareholders, many of whom may have purchased
Common Stock in the over-the-counter market at a higher price than the price at
which Tail Wind would convert its Debentures. MEDY has the right to pay interest
on the 1998 Debentures in cash or shares of Common Stock at Market Price, in its
discretion. To date MEDY has paid interest in shares of its Common Stock and
intends to continue to do so in the future to conserve MEDY's working capital.
It appears to MEDY that Tail Wind has sold the shares underlying the 1997
Debentures and the Interest Shares pursuant to the existing registration
statement shortly after converting the 1997 Debentures or receiving the Interest
Shares.
It can be expected that the sales of the Common Stock by Tail Wind, and
perhaps even the possibility of these sales, have had and may continue to have
in the future a negative impact on the market for the Common Stock. In addition,
for so long as the 1998 Debentures remain outstanding, the conversion ratio
(which is based on the lowest prices over a sixty day period) may continue to
exert a downward pressure on the market price for the Common Stock.
4. Product Liability. MEDY could be subject to claims for personal injuries
resulting from the use of its products. Although MEDY carries product liability
insurance coverage in amounts it believes to be commercially reasonable within
its industry, there can be no assurance that the amount of coverage would be
sufficient to cover any proven claims. Claims proven and damages awarded in
excess of the coverage limits would have a material adverse effect on MEDY.
5. Acquisition of New Businesses. During the fiscal year ended September
30, 1998, MEDY acquired three new businesses, CADI, IPS, and CDS. While the
integration of these businesses into MEDY has been generally successful, MEDY is
seeking to resolve certain issues with respect to the CDS acquisition which are
not expected to have a material adverse effect on MEDY as a whole.
6. Need for Additional Financing and Risk of Dilution. The Company has not
generated earnings in the past several years and there can be no assurance that
MEDY will be able to do so in the future. Although management believes that the
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 11
<PAGE>
capital available to MEDY is sufficient to fund its short-term operations, it is
unable to predict what additional expenses will be incurred beyond those
contemplated since research, development, and marketing programs frequently
involve unanticipated expenditures. To the extent additional capital is needed,
MEDY may seek financing through additional offerings of equity or debt
securities. Sales of additional equity securities could dilute the ownership
interest of existing shareholders, including investors in this Offering. Sales
of debt securities would necessarily result in interest expense and would risk
the loss of the Company's assets if MEDY were to become unable to pay the
interest. Offerings of debt securities also could include conversion features
requiring the issuance of additional debt or equity securities which,
ultimately, also could dilute the ownership of prior shareholders, including
purchasers of the shares being offered by the Selling Shareholders in this
Offering.
7. Limitations on Ability to Obtain Additional Financing. The agreement
between MEDY and Tail Wind contains limitations on MEDY's ability to raise
additional capital by issuing convertible debt or equity securities at prices
which fluctuate or pursuant to a registration statement for selling security
holders other than the Selling Shareholder. Although these restrictions prohibit
the Company from raising working capital or other equity investment in a
transaction similar to the transactions with the Selling Shareholder until at
least August 1999, the Company believes that it will be able to work within
these restrictions to the extent it needs additional capital. As announced in a
Form 8-K reporting an event of October 9, 1998, the Company has entered into a
line of credit with an unaffiliated bank which does not conflict with the
capital raising limitations contained in the agreement with Tail Wind.
8. Technological Change and Risk of Technological Obsolescence. The medical
products segment and the dental products segment, the Company's two principal
lines of business, are subject to rapid and significant technological change.
Accordingly, MEDY's viability will be dependent on its ability to introduce
competitive products to the marketplace in a timely manner and enhance and
improve such products to its customers' satisfaction. There can be no assurance
that MEDY will be able to keep pace with technological developments or that its
products will not become obsolete.
9. Competition -- MEDY and CADI. MEDY's operations and product lines are
subject to a high level of competition from foreign, as well as domestic,
manufacturers of color medical and dental video cameras and other medical
devices which are currently manufactured and sold by MEDY, or which MEDY may
develop in the future. Some competitors are affiliated with large companies with
substantial economic and personnel resources which greatly exceed those of MEDY.
There can be no assurance that MEDY will be able to compete successfully with
other companies.
In addition, there are a large number of competitors in the dental practice
management area. Most of these competitors are smaller businesses. CADI's
software is Y2K compliant, unlike the software offered by some of CADI's
competitors. There can be no assurance, however, that competitors may not reduce

CADI's market share by offering their proprietary version of dental practice
management software. CADI plans to compete with these other businesses by
continuing to upgrade its software and by continuing to package the dental
practice software it with a complete office system of hardware and software and
diagnostic equipment.
10. Potential Conflicts of Interest. There have been significant conflicts
of interest in the operation and management of MEDY, including the purchase by
MEDY of certain equipment and patents from its directors and executive officers,
granting of royalties, loans made available to MEDY through its Chairman, and
the employment by MEDY of sons of two of MEDY's directors. These transactions
were not negotiated at arms' length, although the Board of Directors believes
that all of these transactions were fair to and in the best interests of MEDY.
Although MEDY uses its best efforts to minimize conflicts of interest, the
existence of such conflicts may impact MEDY in its business activities.
11. Dependence on Management. At present, the success of MEDY is dependent
upon the active participation of its management, MEDY's Chairman and principal
shareholder, Dr. Adair, and its Chief Executive Officer, Van Horsley, Dr.
Adair's stepson. CADI's operations are significantly dependent on the continued
availability of the services of Daniel L. Richmond and Chae U. Kim. The loss of
the services of any of these persons would have a material adverse effect on the
Company. In the event of such a loss, MEDY can give no assurance that it could
replace any person without incurring substantial additional expense. MEDY does
not have employment contracts with either Mr. Horsley or Dr. Adair. Both Messrs.
Richmond and Kim are subject to five year employment agreements which expire in
October 2002.
12. Government Regulation. Because certain of the products that MEDY
manufactures are used in surgery and other medical applications, the products
are subject to regulations of and close scrutiny by agencies of the federal
government, including the FDA. Although MEDY believes that its facilities are in
compliance with all applicable regulations, MEDY can give no assurance that it
will be able to comply fully with all of the government regulations to which it
is subject. Failure to comply strictly with all FDA requirements (not all of
which are written) may result in sanctions as severe as the cessation of MEDY's
manufacturing business which would have a material adverse effect on MEDY.
Although MEDY has had difficulty in certain instances in the past in obtaining
FDA approval on new products, MEDY's current business in not materially
dependent on this issue and, therefore, this is not deemed to be a significant
risk.
13. Protection of Technology. Although MEDY obtains secrecy agreements from
its employees and others having access to its trade secrets and holds patents on
certain of its technology, such agreements and patents do not afford complete
protection against the unauthorized use of such information by others.
Furthermore, the costs of prosecuting persons who may accidentally or
intentionally infringe on MEDY's patents or divulge its trade secrets can be
expensive and time consuming. The unauthorized use of MEDY's trade secrets and
the infringement of its patents could have a material adverse effect on MEDY and
its ability to compete.
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 13
<PAGE>
14. Significant Investment in Intangible Assets. As a result of the
acquisitions of CADI, IPS and CDS, MEDY has a significant investment in
intangible assets, amounting to approximately $5,945,100 at December 31, 1998
(64% of MEDY's total assets). The expenses associated with the annual
amortization of the intangible assets will make it more difficult for MEDY to
realize net income. Because intangible assets are incapable of precise
valuation, it may be necessary for MEDY to reduce the balance sheet valuation of
these assets at some later point, although MEDY has no intention or basis to do
so at the present time.
15. Limited Public Market; Price Volatility; and No Assurance of Liquidity.
There currently is a limited public market for MEDY's Common Stock. No assurance
can be given that a market for the Common Stock will continue subsequent to this
offering or that purchasers will be able to resell their securities at the
purchase prices paid in this Offering, or liquidate their investment without
considerable delay, if at all. If a market does continue, the price may be
highly volatile. Factors such as those discussed in this "Risk Factors" section
may have a significant impact on the market price of the securities offered.
Also, some brokerage firms may not effect transactions in securities that trade
below a stipulated price. Further, most lending institutions will not permit the
use of low-priced or thinly traded securities as collateral for loans.
16. Dependence on Principal Customers. In the past, MEDY has been dependent
on a limited number of principal customers. During the 1997 fiscal year, MEDY's
principal customer which accounted for 61% of MEDY's revenues was Information
Presentation Systems, Inc., of Marietta, Georgia. IPS purchased certain of
MEDY's camera products and packaged the products with other hardware and
software, including CADI's software, for resale. As described elsewhere in this
Prospectus, MEDY, though CADI, acquired IPS in February 1998. (See MEDY's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, "Item 1 -
Business" and Item 6 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" therein) which report is incorporated by
reference). As a result of the IPS acquisition during the 1998 fiscal year, the
Company did not have any single customer accounting for more than 10% of its
sales during the 1998 fiscal year, although it is possible that there may be
significant customers in future fiscal years.
17. No Dividends Paid or Contemplated. No dividends have been paid by MEDY
in the past and dividends are not contemplated in the foreseeable future.
Investors who anticipate the need of either immediate or future income by way of
dividends from their investment should refrain from the purchase of Shares
offered hereby. The Company's lending arrangements with Norwest Business Credit,
Inc., significantly restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends.
18. Year 2000 Compliance. Although there can be no assurance, MEDY does not
anticipate that it will suffer any adverse impact as a result of Year 2000 (Y2K)
computer software issues either as a result of third party non-compliance or as
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 14
<PAGE>
a result of internal matters. None of the information technology or other
software and hardware systems utilized by MEDY and its subsidiaries incorporates
technology that is incapable of recognizing dates beyond December 31, 1999.
CADI, through its internal staff, has developed its dental practice management
software for the Windows platform and, consequently, such software recognizes
dates beyond December 31, 1999. While CADI is still supporting some software
which is DOS-based or otherwise may not be Y2K compliant, the customers using
this software have been advised of their need to upgrade their office software
in anticipation of Y2K. Even if MEDY or CADI were to provide the necessary
software upgrade to these customers at no cost (which CADI does not have an
obligation to do), the total loss to MEDY would be less than $60,000 in revenues
and is not considered to be material. Because CADI's dental practice management
software is Y2K compliant, CADI and MEDY believe that this offers them a
marketing opportunity in that some of their competitors' software currently
being utilized by dental offices is not Y2K compliant and will need to be
replaced by those offices before December 31, 1999. There can be no assurance,
however, that these offices will all purchase dental practice management systems
from CADI.
In making the foregoing determination, MEDY and CADI have assessed embedded
systems contained in their office buildings, equipment, and other
infrastructures. As a result, MEDY and CADI have not established a contingency
plan to come into effect in the event of a Y2K catastrophe, and management does
not believe that such a plan is necessary. Of course, MEDY and CADI are both
dependent on facilities outside of their control, such as electrical power
supplies, banking facilities, transportation facilities (such as airlines), and
communications facilities. While MEDY and CADI believe, based on public reports
and some notifications they have received, that these outside facilities are or
will be Y2K compliant, neither MEDY nor CADI has any other basis for determining
their compliance. The operations of MEDY and CADI would be significantly and
adversely affected if any of these outside facilities are adversely affected by
the millenium change or by other issues related to Y2K.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Selling Shareholder will receive all proceeds from the sale of the
Shares offered and sold under this Prospectus.
If, and to the extent, the 1998 Warrants or the MCI Options are exercised
for cash, the Company will receive proceeds equal to the aggregate exercise
price of the Warrants and Options, approximately $387,000 if all of the 1998
Warrants and $637,500 if all of the MCI Options are exercised for cash. The 1997
and 1998 Warrants (but not the MCI Options) allow the holder to effect a
"cashless" exercise of the Warrants. The Warrants and MCI Options are described
under the captions "The 1998 Debentures and Warrants" and "The MCI Options" in
this Prospectus under "Selling Shareholders." Any proceeds the Company receives
from the exercise of the Warrants and MCI Options will be used for working
capital. There can be no assurance that any Warrants or MCI Options will ever be
exercised.

THE COMPANY
Medical Dynamics, Inc., a Colorado corporation incorporated in March 1971
(referred to herein as "MEDY" or the "Company"), is engaged in the design,
development, manufacture and marketing of medical and dental video cameras and
related disposable products for a variety of professional specialties. MEDY's
principal products are small, color, medical and dental video camera systems for
use in patient diagnosis and various surgical procedures. MEDY has been
manufacturing such cameras since August of 1981.
In October 1997 MEDY acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of
Computer Age Dentist, Inc. (CADI), a California corporation based in Los
Angeles, California. CADI is engaged in the development and sale of Practice
Management Software and related electronic services to the dental profession.
In February 1998 CADI acquired by merger Information Presentation Systems,
Inc. of Marietta, Georgia ("IPS"), a supplier of customized multimedia systems
for use in a variety of dental operatory environments.
In April 1998, CADI acquired by merger Command Dental Systems of Farmington
Hills, Michigan ("Command"), which develops and markets turn-key computer
systems for the efficient management of dental practices.
In reviewing MEDY's financial statements which are incorporated herein by
reference, it should be noted that a substantial portion of the Company's
revenues for fiscal 1998 derives from the businesses acquired by MEDY during
fiscal 1998 and not from MEDY's historical businesses of medical and dental
camera manufacturing. For example, MEDY's revenues during fiscal year 1998
(ending September 30, 1998) totaled approximately $7,847,000; of that amount,
approximately $7,575,000 was attributable to the acquisitions of CADI, IPS and
Command.
MEDY's principal executive offices and manufacturing facilities are at 99
Inverness Drive East, Englewood, Colorado, 80112. Its telephone number at that
address is (303) 790-2990.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The Selling Shareholders under this prospectus are the Tail Wind Fund, Ltd.
("Tail Wind") and Merchant Capital, Inc. ("MCI"). Neither Tail Wind nor MCI is
an affiliate of MEDY; nor has either Selling Shareholder or any affiliate of
either Selling Shareholder had any position, office or other material
relationship with MEDY within more than the past three years, except as
disclosed below. Tail Wind's business address is Windermere House, P.O. Box
SS-5539, Nassau, Bahamas. The business address of MCI is 5300 West Sahara, Suite
101, Las Vegas, Nevada 89102.
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 16
<PAGE>
The Shares being offered hereby by Tail Wind are issuable upon the
conversion of the outstanding 1998 Debentures (of which $1,500,000 in face
amount are outstanding), the payment of interest related thereto and upon
the exercise of the 1998 Warrants. There are no shares underlying the 1997
Debentures remaining to be issued or sold; and
The Shares being offered hereby by MCI were issued to MCI for four months
services pursuant to a Financial Public Relations/Consulting Agreement
(12,000 shares), and are issuable upon exercise of options issued to MCI
pursuant to that agreement (75,000 shares underlying the MCI Options).
Neither Tail Wind nor MCI owns, directly or indirectly, any other shares of
Common Stock. Assuming that Tail Wind and MCI sell all Shares offered hereby
(although there is no requirement that either do so), they will beneficially own
no shares of Common Stock at the conclusion of the Offering.
Tail Wind
General. The exact number of shares to be offered and sold by Tail Wind is
not known at the date of this Prospectus because Tail Wind will acquire the
shares upon conversion of convertible securities at varying prices, most of
which will be converted based on the market price of the Common Stock on the
date of conversion. Were the 1998 Debentures held through their term and then
converted in full at the Market Price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus and the 1998 Warrants exercised in full, the following number of
shares of Common Stock would be issued:
1998 Debentures 1,132,000 shares
Interest Shares 435,769 shares (including 25,769 shares issued prior to the
date hereof)
1998 Warrants 150,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable through July 31,
2003 at a price of $2.58 per share
Tail Wind has agreed by contract that it will at no time own more than 4.99% of
the Common Stock. This contractual limitation prohibits Tail Wind from
converting the 1998 Debentures or exercising the 1997 or 1998 Warrants to the
extent that conversion or exercise would result in Tail Wind owning more than
4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. This limitation is
referred to in this Prospectus as the "5% Limitation." As a result of the 5%
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 17
<PAGE>
Limitation and pursuant to SEC Rule 13d- 4, Tail Wind disclaims beneficial
ownership of all shares to the extent such ownership would result in it
exceeding the 5% Limitation. Since the 5% Limitation is the result of a
contractual agreement between MEDY and Tail Wind, the parties could, by
agreement, waive the restriction.
MEDY and Tail Wind have agreed that, notwithstanding any decrease in Market
Price, Tail Wind may not convert 1998 Debentures which would result in the
issuance of more than 1,880,000 shares (including shares issued as interest on
the 1998 Debentures, or issued or issuable upon exercise of the 1998 Warrants).
If Tail Wind is precluded from converting any 1998 Debentures because of this
provision, Tail Wind may demand, upon six months' notice, that the Company
redeem the remaining 1998 Debentures for 115% of the remaining principal amount.
This is referred to herein as the "Future Priced Securities" limitation. If MEDY
is required to redeem any portion of the 1998 Debentures as a result of the
Future Priced Securities limitation, MEDY will have six months notification to
obtain the financing to do so. In such an event, MEDY will have to seek debt or
equity financing (unless it has sufficient funds from other sources, such as
revenues from operations, available). Although MEDY believes it can do so based
on its past experiences, there can be no assurance that MEDY will be able to
obtain financing necessary to redeem the 1998 Debentures if required.
If all the Shares being offered by Tail Wind are sold, Tail Wind will own
no shares of the Company's common stock following the completion of the
Offering.
The 1998 Debentures and Warrants. On July 31, 1998, in a private placement
offering under Regulation D, the Selling Shareholder purchased debentures in an
aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000 and, in November 1998, purchased an
additional $400,000 principal amount (the "1998 Debentures"). The 1998
Debentures bear interest at 8% per annum, with interest payable semi-annually on
January 5 and July 5 of each year, commencing January 5, 1999. Principal and
accrued but unpaid interest is due in full on July 31, 2003. Events of default
under the 1998 Debentures which could result in acceleration of amounts due,
among other things, include: (i) failure to pay any amounts of principal or
interest when due; (ii) failure of the Common Stock to be listed on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, the Nasdaq National Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or the
American Stock Exchange; and/or (iii) events of bankruptcy and similar events.
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 18
<PAGE>
The Company may, at its option, pay accrued interest on the 1998 Debentures
with shares of its Common Stock valued at Market Price. Based on the Market
Price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus, assuming all accrued
interest on the 1998 Debentures is paid in shares of Common Stock and that the
1998 Debentures are held to maturity, the Company will pay Tail Wind
approximately 410,000 shares of Common Stock (the "1998 Interest Shares") in
addition to the 25,769 interest shares paid to Tail Wind in March 1999.
Tail Wind is entitled to convert the 1998 Debentures, in whole or in part,
into shares of Common Stock at the lesser of 85% of Market Price or the "Ceiling
Price". As of March 18, 1999, 1998 Debentures totaling $500,000 are convertible
or will be convertible within sixty days; an additional $500,000 will be
convertible after June 1, 1999, and all of the 1998 Debentures will be
convertible after January 1, 2000. For purposes of the 1998 Debentures, "Ceiling
Price" means 105% of the average closing bid price of the Common Stock for the
20 trading days immediately preceding the effective date of this registration
statement. If conversion has not occurred by July 31, 2000, the Ceiling Price
thereafter will mean 105% of the Market Price on July 31, 2000 if the adjustment
would result in a lower price. Assuming that Tail Wind can and elects to convert
the full amount of the 1998 Debentures into shares of Common Stock, based on the
Market Price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus, Tail Wind would
receive 1,128,000 shares of Common Stock (the "1998 Conversion Shares").
In connection with Tail Wind's purchase of the 1998 Debentures in July and
November 1998, the Company issued to Tail Wind warrants to purchase up to a
total of 150,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable through July 31, 2003 at a
price of $2.58 per share (the "1998 Warrants"). The 1998 Warrants contains
anti-dilution provisions should MEDY issue stock dividends or conduct a stock
split or reorganization, or upon occurrence of certain other events. The
Warrants will be subject to adjustment as a result of the completion of MEDY's
recent equity financing. Subject to the 5% Limitation and the Future Priced
Securities limitation, the 1998 Warrants are currently exercisable.
If MEDY is unable to meet the effectiveness requirement for the shares
underlying the 1998 Debentures and Warrants, maintain effectiveness of this
registration statement, or maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the
Nasdaq SmallCap or the NMS Market (or senior stock exchange), MEDY will be
required to pay liquidated damages to the Selling Shareholders in an amount
equal to 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the 1998 Debentures for each
month or portion thereof following the required effectiveness date during which
the registration statement is not effective. In such event, MEDY shall bear all
reasonable fees or costs incurred by Tail Wind for legal counsel as a result of
the filing of any post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement. The
amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be
payable in cash (not Common Stock). Tail Wind waived the liquidated damages
penalty through March 18, 1999. Thereafter the penalty will accrue at the rate
of $30,000 per month.
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 19
<PAGE>
The registration rights agreement contains standard cross-indemnification
provisions and requirements for contribution should the indemnification
provisions be found to be unavailable.
The 1997 Debentures and Warrants. On October 31, 1997, in a private
placement offering under Regulation D, Tail Wind purchased debentures in an
aggregate principal amount of $1,100,000. Tail Wind converted these debentures
into 520,349 shares of MEDY Common Stock, and the underlying shares have been
sold. MEDY had also granted Tail Wind warrants to acquire 84,615 shares of
Common Stock in connection with the October 31, 1997 debenture purchase. Tail
Wind surrendered these warrants in connection with certain amendments to the
1998 Debentures and Warrants, which amendments were negotiated in March 1999.
Merchant Capital
On September 1, 1998, MEDY entered into a "financial public
relations/consulting agreement" with Merchant Capital, Inc. ("MCI"). MCI
warranted to MEDY that it is "experienced in the field of financial public
relationships and in complying with the requirements of federal and applicable
state securities laws with respect to [its] activities in the financial public
relations field." MEDY appointed MCI as a non-exclusive financial public
relations counsel to assist MEDY in dealing with the investment banking and
broker-dealer communities, and in organizing, writing, and distributing public
relations communications. The Agreement with MCI contained standard
indemnification provisions.
The Agreement with MCI does not require that MEDY pay any cash compensation
to MCI; the Agreement required that MEDY pay MCI shares of Common Stock and MCI
Options. MEDY terminated the Agreement with MCI on December 28, 1998. MCI earned
and has been paid 12,000 shares of MEDY's restricted Common Stock and MCI
Options to acquire 75,000 shares of Common Stock as follows:
25,000 exercisable at $4.00 per share;
25,000 exercisable at $4.50 per share; and
25,000 exercisable at $5.00 per share.
In all cases, the MCI Options are exercisable for cash, and expire (unless
previously exercised) at the close of business on August 31, 2000.
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 20
<PAGE>
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Shareholders have advised MEDY that they may sell the Shares in
one or more transactions (which may involve one or more block transactions) on
the over-the-counter markets on Nasdaq and upon terms then prevailing or at
prices related to the then current market price, or in separately negotiated
transactions or in a combination of such transactions. The Shares offered hereby
may be sold by one or more of the following methods, without limitation: (a) a
block trade in which a broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the
shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal
to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal
and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus;
(c) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers; (d) privately negotiated transactions; and (e) face-to-face
transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker-dealer.
The Selling Shareholders may also sell Shares in accordance with Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if Rule 144 is then available. The
Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be an underwriter of the Shares offered
hereby within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders
(or either of them) may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate.
Such broker or dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling
Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated by the Selling Shareholders. The
Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and
the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course
of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling Shareholders (including,
without limitation, in connection with the distribution of the Common Stock by
such broker-dealers). The Selling Shareholder may also engage in short sales of
the Common Stock and may enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the Common Stock to the
broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer such Common Stock.
Such broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers may, in
connection with such sales, be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any discounts or commissions received by
any such broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if
applicable, the Shares will be sold in such jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed broke-dealers.
MEDY will pay all of the expenses incident to the filing of this
Registration Statement, estimated to be $45,000. These expenses include legal
and accounting fees in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, legal and other fees in connection
with the qualification of the sale of the Shares under the laws of certain
states (if any), registration and filing fees, printing expenses, and other
expenses. The Selling Shareholder will pay all other expenses incident to the
offering and sale of the Shares to the public, including commissions and
discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, if any. MEDY has agreed
to use its best efforts to keep the registration of the Shares offered hereby
effective until the date upon which all of the Shares offered by the Selling
Shareholders have been sold.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
Authorized. MEDY is authorized to issue 30,000,000 shares of $.01 par value
common stock (the "Common Stock"). No holder of any shares of Common Stock has
any preemptive right to subscribe to any of MEDY's securities. Upon dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of MEDY, the assets will be divided pro rata on a
share-for-share basis among holders of the shares of Common Stock and Preferred
Stock if any shares are outstanding. All shares of Common Stock outstanding are
fully paid and nonassessable and, when issued, the shares offered hereby will be
fully paid and nonassessable.
Issued and Outstanding. On December 31, 1998, MEDY had issued and
outstanding 10,301,667 shares of Common Stock. In February 1999 MEDY issued
25,769 interest shares to Tail Wind. On March 18, 1999, MEDY issued 523,834
additional shares in connection with further financing activities; this latter
transaction may result in the issuance of additional shares and a common stock
purchase warrant, but the number of such additional shares and warrants will not
be determined until after a registration statement relating to those shares is
declared effective. This number does not include any of the estimated 1,779,000
shares issuable upon exercise of the 1998 Debentures, the unissued 1998 Interest
Shares, the 1998 Warrant Shares, or the shares underlying the MCI Options which,
if and when issued, will be offered for sale pursuant to this Prospectus by the
Selling Shareholders. For information about these shares, see the description
contained under the caption "Selling Shareholders" above.
Dividends. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to dividends when, as and
if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor,
subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock. MEDY has not declared or paid any dividends on its Common Stock and does
not anticipate the declaration or payment of dividends in the foreseeable
future.
MEDY's agreement with Norwest Business Credit, Inc. (entered into in
October 1998 for a $1,000,000 line of credit described in more detail in the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K reporting an event of October 9, 1998 and
its Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1998, which report is
incorporated by reference herein.
No Cumulative Voting. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote
per share with respect to all matters that are required by law to be submitted
to stockholders. The stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting in the
election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the shares
voting for the election of directors can elect 100% of the directors if they
choose to do so; and, in such event, the holders of the remaining less than 50%
of the shares voting for the election of the directors will be unable to elect
any person or persons to the Board of Directors.
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 22
<PAGE>
No Preemptive Rights. Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to
preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of Common Stock when offered for
sale by the Company.
Preferred Stock
MEDY is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value
Preferred Stock, in series to be designated by the Board of Directors (the
"Preferred Stock"). No shares of Preferred Stock have been issued and it is not
contemplated that any shares of Preferred Stock will be issued by MEDY in the
immediate future; however, the Board may use its ability to issue Preferred
Stock to effect the business purposes of MEDY.
Material provisions concerning the terms of any series of Preferred Stock
such as dividend rate, conversion features and voting rights, will be determined
by the Board of Directors of MEDY at the time of such issuance. The ability of
the Board to issue Preferred Stock also could be used by MEDY as a means of
resisting a change of control of MEDY and, therefore, could be considered an
"anti-takeover" device.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Revised Statutes and the Registrant's
Articles of Incorporation, under certain circumstances provide for the
indemnification of the Registrant's officers, directors and controlling persons
against liabilities which they may incur in such capacities. A summarization of
the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is contained
herein, but that description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and the relevant Section of the Colorado
Revised Statutes.
In general, the statute provides that any director may be indemnified
against liabilities (including the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement,
penalty, fine or expense), incurred in a proceeding (including any civil,
criminal or investigative proceeding) to which the director was a party by
reason of such status. Such indemnity may be provided if the director's actions
resulting in the liabilities: (i) were taken in good faith; (ii) were reasonably
believed to have been in the Registrant's best interest with respect to actions
taken in the director's official capacity; (iii) were reasonably believed not to
be opposed to the Registrant's best interest with respect to other actions; and
(iv) with respect to any criminal action, the director had no reasonable grounds
to believe the actions were unlawful. Unless the director is successful upon the
merits in such an action, indemnification may generally be awarded only after a
determination of independent members of the Board of Directors or a committee
thereof, by independent legal counsel or by vote of the shareholders that the
applicable standard of conduct was met by the director to be indemnified.
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 26
<PAGE>
The statutory provisions further provide that unless limited by a
corporation's articles of incorporation, a director or officer who is wholly
successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding to which he
as a party, is entitled to receive indemnification against reasonable expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the proceeding. In
addition, a corporation may indemnify or advance expenses to an officer,
employee or agent who is not a director to a greater extent than permitted for
indemnification of directors, if consistent with law and if provided for by its
articles of incorporation, bylaws, resolution of its shareholders or directors
or in a contract. The provision of indemnification to persons other than
directors is subject to such limitations as may be imposed on general public
policy grounds.
In addition to the foregoing, unless hereafter limited by the Registrant's
articles of incorporation, a court, upon petition by an officer or director, may
order the Registrant to indemnify such officer or director against liabilities
arising in connection with any proceeding. A court may order the Registrant to
provide such indemnification, whether or not the applicable standard of conduct
described above was met by the officer or director. To order such
indemnification the court must determine that the petitioner is fairly and
reasonably entitled to such indemnification in light of the circumstances. With
respect to liabilities arising as a result of proceedings on behalf of the
Registrant, a court may only require that a petitioner be indemnified as to the
reasonable expenses incurred.
Indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
Registrant in which the director is successful is permitted only with respect to
reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the defense. In such actions,
the person to be indemnified must have acted in good faith, in a manner believed
to have been in the Registrant's best interest and must not have been adjudged
liable for negligence or misconduct. Indemnification is otherwise prohibited in
connection with a proceeding brought on behalf of the Registrant in which a
director is adjudged liable to the Registrant, or in connection with any
proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director in which the
director is adjudged liable for receipt of an improper personal benefit.
Colorado law authorizes the Registrant to reimburse or pay reasonable
expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent in connection with a
proceeding, in advance of a final disposition of the matter. Such advances of
expenses are permitted if the person furnishes to the Registrant a written
statement of his belief that he met the applicable standard of conduct required
to permit such indemnification. The person seeking such expense advances must
also provide the Registrant with a written agreement to repay such advances if
it is determined the applicable standard of conduct was not met. A determination
must also be made that the facts known to the Registrant would not preclude
indemnification.
The statutory section cited above further specifies that any provisions for
indemnification of or advances for expenses to directors which may be contained
in the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, resolutions of its
shareholders or directors, or in a contract (except for insurance policies)
shall be valid only to the extent such provisions are consistent with the
Colorado statutes and any limitations upon indemnification set forth in the
Articles of Incorporation.
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 27
<PAGE>
The statutory provision cited above also grants the power to the Registrant
to purchase and maintain insurance policies which protect any director, officer,
employee, fiduciary or agent against any liability asserted against or incurred
by them in such capacity arising out of his status as such. Such policies may
provide for indemnification whether or not the corporation would otherwise have
the power to provide for it. No such policies providing protection against
liabilities imposed under the securities laws have been obtained by the
Registrant. The registration rights agreements dated July 31, 1998, and October
31, 1997 between the Registrant and Tail Wind., provides for cross
indemnification by the Registrant and Tail Wind, in certain circumstances,
including for certain securities laws violations.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
the Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any
facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
Registration Statement - Medical Dynamics, Inc. Page 29
<PAGE>
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in
the Registration Statement; and (iii) to include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration
Statement, including (but not limited to) any addition or deletion of a managing
underwriter; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's Annual Report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or
given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by
reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by
Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or
cause to be delivered, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given,
the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in
the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Medical Dynamics, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-3
Registration No. 333-63901
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the above-captioned Registration Statement (the
"Registration Statement") filed by Medical Dynamics, Inc., a Colorado
corporation (the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and the rules
and regulations thereunder as amended through the date hereof, we have been
requested to render our opinion as to the legality of:
i) Up to 1,700,000 Shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common
Stock") which are issuable as a result of the conversion of convertible
debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 issued to the
Tail Wind Fund, Ltd ("Tail Wind") (the "Debentures") on the terms and
conditions stated in the Debentures (the "Conversion Shares");
ii) Up to 400,000 Shares of Common Stock which are issuable in payment of
interest on the Debentures to be calculated as provided therein (the
"Interest Shares");
iii) Up to 150,000 shares issuable on exercise of a warrant issued to Tail
Wind to purchase Common Stock as provided therein (the "Warrant Shares");
iv) 12,000 shares of Common Stock (the "MCI Shares") issued to Merchant
Capital, Inc. ("MCI"); and
v) Up to 75,000 shares issuable on exercised options issued to MCI and to
purchase Common Stock as provided therein (the "MCI Option Shares").
The Conversion Shares, the Interest Shares and the Warrant Shares, the MCI
Shares, and the MCI Option Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as
the "Securities".
In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals, or copies
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration
Statement (including all amendments thereto); (ii) the Articles of Incorporation
and the By-laws of the Company, each as amended to date; and (iii) records of
certain of the Company's proceedings relating to, among other things, the
issuance and sale of the Securities. In addition, we have made such other
examinations of law and facts as we considered necessary in order to form a
basis for the opinions hereunder expressed.

In our examination of the aforesaid documents, we have assumed, without
independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the enforceability
of the documents against each party thereto other than the Company, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified,
photostatic, reproduced or conformed copies of validly existing agreements or
other documents, the authenticity of all such latter documents and the legal
capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the documents we have
reviewed.
In expressing the opinions set forth herein, we have relied upon
representations as to factual matters contained in certificates of officers of
the Company.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions and
qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Conversion
Shares, the Interest Shares, and the Warrant Shares have been duly authorized
and when the Conversion Shares and the Interest Shares are issued and delivered
in accordance with the terms of the Debenture, and the Warrant Shares are issued
and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, the Securities will
be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The foregoing opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Colorado.
Our opinion is rendered only with respect to the laws, and the rules,
regulations and orders thereunder, which are currently in effect.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
