To the Board of Directors
of Tessa Complete Health Care, Inc.
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Tessa Complete Health Care, Inc. ("Company") in
connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on Form
S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering 100,000 shares of
Company's Common Stock, par value $0.02 per share (the "Shares"), issuable
pursuant to that certain Agreement for Services of Independent Contractor by and
between Company and Thomas Bolera, D.C., dated April 1, 2000 (the "Plan"). We
have reviewed the corporate action of Company in connection with this matter and
have examined and relied upon such documents, corporate records, and other
evidence as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion.
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares have been duly
authorized and, when issued and sold pursuant to the Plan, legally issued, fully
paid, and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
/s/ STEVEN D. ADLER, P.C.
