ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrange
ment under which any controlling person, director or officer of e-MedSoft.com
is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may
incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:
(a) Subsection (1) of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Corporation Law
empowers a corporation to "indemnify any person who is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact
that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
II-1
<PAGE>
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him
in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith
and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of
itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in
a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and that, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful."
Subsection (2) of Section 78.751 empowers a corporation to "indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and
attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the
defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a
manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim,
issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of
competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be
liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the
corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action
or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon
application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify for such expenses as the court
deems proper."
Subsection 78.751(3) further provides that "to the extent that a
director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter herein,
he must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including
attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
the defense."
(b) Article VII of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation provides
that the Registrant shall indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents
to the full extent allowed for under the Nevada Business Corporation Act.
(c) Article XI of the Articles of Incorporation the Registrant provides
that no director, officer or stockholder of the Registrant shall be personally
liable for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer;
provided, that this provision shall not eliminate liability of a director or
officer for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a
knowing violation of law or payments or distributions in violation of Nevada
law.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this 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 the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;
(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;
provided, however, that subparagraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
subparagraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(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.
(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.
II-3
<PAGE>
(b) 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 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.
(c) 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 Item 6, 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: SEC Registration Statement on Form S-8
Gentlemen:
We are counsel for e-MedSoft.com, a Nevada corporation (the "Company") in
connection with its registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), of 302,500 shares of common stock which may be issued upon the
exercise of Options held by employees in the United Kingdom (the "Options")
granted by the Company through a Registration Statement on Form S-8 as to
which this opinion is a part, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission").
In connection with rendering our opinion as set forth below, we have
reviewed and examined originals or copies identified to our satisfaction of
the following:
(1) Articles of Incorporation of the Company as filed with the Secre
tary of State of the State of Nevada, as amended.
(2) Minute book containing the written deliberations and resolutions of
the Board of Directors and Shareholders of the Company.
(3) The Registration Statement.
(4) The exhibits to the Registration Statement to be filed with the
Commission.
We have examined such other documents and records, instruments and
certificates of public officials, officers and representatives of the Company,
and have made such other investigations as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate under the circumstances.
Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, it is our opinion that
the 302,500 shares of the Company's $.001 par value common stock which may be
issued upon the exercise of the Options will, upon the purchase, receipt of
full payment, issuance and delivery in accordance with the terms of such
options, be duly and validly authorized, legally issued, fully paid and non-
assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
referenced Registration Statement on Form S-8.
Very truly yours,
KRYS BOYLE FREEDMAN & SAWYER, P.C.
