Gentlemen:
I have examined the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws of
the Company and all necessary certificates, permits, minute books,
documents and records of the Company, and the applicable statutes
of the State of Minnesota, and it is my opinion:
(a) That the Company is a corporation duly organized and existing
under the laws of the State of Minnesota with an authorized
capital stock of $10,000,000,000 shares, all of $.001 par
value, that such shares may be issued as full or fractional
shares and that on April 30, 1995, 43,411,208 shares were
issued and outstanding;
(b) That all such authorized shares are, under the laws of the
State of Minnesota, redeemable as provided in the Articles of
Incorporation of the Company and upon redemption shall have
the status of authorized and unissued shares;
(c) That the Company registered on June 15, 1985, an indefinite
number of shares pursuant to Rule 24f-2 and is herewith filing
a Rule 24f-2 Notice covering the shares sold during its Fiscal
Year ended April 30, 1995; and
(d) That shares which were sold at not less that their par value
and in accordance with applicable federal and state securities
laws were legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
I hereby consent that the foregoing opinion may be used in
connection with the Rule 24f-2 Notice.
Sincerely,
