Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officer
Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the General Corporation Law (the
"GCL") of the State of Delaware, the state of incorporation of the Company, the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended (the Certificate of
Incorporation"), eliminates the liability of the Company's directors to the
Company or its stockholders, except for
3
<PAGE>
liabilities related to breach of duty of loyalty, actions not in good faith
and certain other liabilities.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides for the
indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
GCL. Section 145 of the GCL of the State of Delaware authorizes indemnification
by a corporation when a person is made a party of any proceeding by reason of
the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another enterprise, at the request of the corporation, and if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by him or her to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. With respect to any criminal
proceeding, such person mush have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or
her conduct was unlawful. If it is determined that the conduct of such person
meets these standards, he or she may be indemnified for expenses incurred and
amounts paid in such proceeding (including attorneys' fees) if actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
If such a proceeding is brought by or on behalf of the corporation
(i.e.., a derivative suit), such person may be indemnified against expenses
actually and reasonably incurred if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner reasonably believed by him or her to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation. There can be no indemnification with respect to
any matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable to the corporation;
however, a court may, even in such case, allow such indemnification to such
person for such expenses as the court deems proper. Where such person is
successful in any such proceeding, he or she is entitled to be indemnified
against expenses incurred by him or her. In all other cases, indemnification is
made by the corporation upon determination by it that indemnification of such
person is proper because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct.
The foregoing indemnification provisions are broad enough to encompass
certain liabilities of directors and officers of the Company under the
Securities Act of 1933.
Experts
The consolidated financial statements of the company appearing in the
Company's Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the year ended June 30, 1998 have been

their report thereon included therein and incorporated herein by reference.
Reference is made to said report, which includes explanatory paragraphs that
describe the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, discussed in Note
1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Such financial statements
are incorporated herein in reliance upon the reports of Boros & Farrington APC,
pertaining to such financial statements (to the extent filed with the
Commission) given upon the authority of such firm as experts in giving such
reports.

in a post-effective amendment by those paragraph is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15 (d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendments 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.
To remove from registration by mean of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered hereunder that remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
company's annual report pursuant to Section 13 (a) or Section 15 (d) of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an

bona fide offering thereof.
(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the above-described provisions or otherwise,
the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities act of
1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Company 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 Company 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8
Gentleman:
I have acted as counsel for Imaging Technologies Corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing of the Company's
Registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, (the "Registration Statement"), relating to 930,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, $.005 par value, (the "common stock"), issuable
pursuant to the Company's Advisory and Consultants Agreement, (the "Plan").
I have examined the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the
By-Laws of the company and all amendments thereto, the Registration Statement
and originals, or copies certified to my satisfaction, of such records and
meetings, written actions in lieu of meetings, or resolutions adopted at
meetings, of the directors of the Company, and such other documents and
instruments as in my judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable me to
render the opinions expressed below.
Based on the foregoing examination, I am of the opinion that the shares
of Common Stock issuable with the Plan are duly authorized and, when issued
in accordance with the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
Further, I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
