Dear Sirs:

     I have acted as  counsel to  Uniroyal  Technology  Corporation,  a Delaware
corporation  (the  "Company"),  in connection with the preparation and filing by
the Company  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  of a  registration
statement of the Company on Form S-8 (the  "Registration  Statement")  under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  with respect to the offering and sale of up
to 500,000 shares of common stock,  $0.01 par value per share ("Common  Stock"),
of the Company  issuable in connection with the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan
(the  "Plan").  Terms  defined in the  Registration  Statement and not otherwise
defined herein are used herein with the meanings as so defined.

     In so acting, I have examined  originals or copies,  certified or otherwise
identified to my satisfaction, of the Registration Statement, the Plan, and such
corporate  records,  agreements,  documents  and  other  instruments,  and  such
certificates  or  comparable  documents of public  officials  and of officers or
representatives of the Company as I have deemed relevant or necessary as a basis
for the opinions  hereinafter set forth. I have also made such inquiries of such
officers and  representatives as I have deemed relevant or necessary for a basis
for the opinions hereinafter set forth.

     In such examination,  I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity  of all documents  submitted to me as originals,  the conformity to
original  documents  submitted to me as certified or photostatic  copies and the
authenticity of such latter documents.

     Based on the foregoing,  and subject to the qualifications stated herein, I
am of the  opinion  that the  shares  of  Common  Stock  initially  issuable  in
connection with the Plan will be validly issued,  fully paid and  non-assessable
and free of preemptive rights.

     The  opinions  herein are limited to the laws of the State of Florida,  the
General  Corporation  Law of the State of Delaware  and the federal  laws of the
United  States,  and I express  no  opinion  as to the effect of the laws of any
other jurisdiction on the matters addressed in this opinion.

     I consent to the use of this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the  Registration
Statement.  I  further  consent  to the use of this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to
applications to securities  commissioners of various states of the United States
for  registration  or  qualification  of the Common Stock issuable in connection
with the Plan under the  securities  (or "Blue  Sky") laws of such states to the
extent that such registration or qualification may be required.

     This  opinion is rendered  solely for your benefit in  connection  with the
Plan.  This  opinion may not be used or relied upon by any other  person and may
not be disclosed, quoted, filed with a governmental agency or otherwise referred
to without my prior written consent, except as noted above.

                                                 Very truly yours,



                                                 Oliver J. Janney
