LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The California General Corporations Law provides that
California corporations may include provisions in their articles of
incorporation relieving directors of monetary liability for breach of
their fiduciary duties as directors, except for the liability of a
director resulting from (i) acts or omissions involving intentional
misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or
omissions that a director believes to be contrary to the best
interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that involve the
absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) any
transaction from which the director derives an improper personal
benefit, (iv) acts or omissions showing reckless disregard for the
director's duty to the corporation or its shareholders in
circumstances in which the director was aware, or should have been
aware, in the ordinary course of performing a director's duties, of a
risk of serious injury to the corporation or its shareholders, (v)
acts or omissions constituting an unexcused pattern of inattention
that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the
corporation or its shareholders, (vi) transactions between
corporations and directors which have not been approved or ratified in
good faith by disinterested directors or shareholders or which are not
proved to be just and reasonable as to the corporation, and (vii)
approving distributions to shareholders or loans to directors or
officers contrary to California law. The Company's Articles of
Incorporation provide that the Company's directors are not liable to
the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of
their fiduciary duties to the fullest extent permitted by California
law.
The inclusion of the above provision in the Articles of
Incorporation may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of
shareholder derivative suits against directors and may discourage or
deter shareholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against
directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an
action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited the Company and
its shareholders. At present, there is no litigation or proceeding
pending involving a director of the Company as to which
indemnification is being sought, nor is the Company aware of any
threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by
any director.

Re: Creative Computer Applications, Inc. ("Company")
Gentlemen:
We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Registration Statement
covers 400,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") to be issued
upon exercise of 400,000 Common Stock Options ("Options") of the
Company pursuant to the Company's 1992 Incentive Stock Option Plan.
We have examined the originals, or photostatic or certified
copies, of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of
the Company and of public officials and such other documents as we
have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set
forth below. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness
of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents
submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the
authenticity of the originals of such copies.
Based upon our examination mentioned above, subject to the
assumptions stated herein and relying on statements of facts
contained in the documents that we have examined, we are of the
opinion that the issuance of the Shares has been duly authorized and
that, when issued and paid for will have been validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to
the Registration Statement and to the incorporation by reference to
the reference to our firm appearing under the caption "Legal
Opinions" in the prospectus that forms a part of a Registration
Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company and declared effective on
February 22, 1995 (Registration No. 33-89278).
Very truly yours,
