Exhibit 5
OPINION OF COUNSEL RE: LEGALITY
June 23, 2000
Fonar Corporation
110 Marcus Drive
Melville, NY 11747
Dear Sirs:
I refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-2 to which this opinion
is an Exhibit (the "Registration Statement"), being filed by Fonar
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to
the issuance of up to 4,826,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the
"Shares") to pay certain outstanding indebtedness of the Company.
As counsel for the Company, I have examined the originals or photostatic
or certified copies of such records, certificates and instruments of the
Company, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and
such other instruments and documents as I have deemed relevant and necessary
for the purposes of rendering the opinions set forth below. In such
examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified or
photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies and
the correctness of all statements of fact contained therein.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been
duly and validly authorized, and when issued will be legally issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.
I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the reference to me in Item 5 of the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Henry T. Meyer
Henry T. Meyer, Esq.
General Counsel
