Dear Ms. Luthi:

         We serve as counsel to The Parkstone  Advantage Fund (the  "Trust"),  a
Massachusetts  business  trust.  This  letter is  furnished  at your  request in
connection with the filing by the Trust of a Notice dated February 22, 1996 (the
"Notice"),  pursuant to Rule 24f-2  promulgated  by the  Securities and Exchange
Commission  under  the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  as  amended,  and the
registration  by the  Trust of an  indefinite  number  of  units  of  beneficial
interest under the

The Parkstone Advantage Fund

Securities  Act of 1933, as amended.  In the Notice,  the Trust reported the net
sale  during the  fiscal  year ended  December  31,  1995,  of an  aggregate  of
$13,252,064 in units of beneficial interest (the "Shares") of the Trust.

         We have  examined  the Notice and  originals  or copies,  certified  or
otherwise  identified to our satisfaction,  of such other records,  certificates
and other  documents as we considered  necessary or appropriate  for purposes of
the  opinion  hereinafter  expressed.  As to  matters of fact  relative  to such
opinion,  we have relied upon the accuracy of the Notice and the statements made
therein.

         The Shares which are currently being registered  pursuant to the Notice
referred  to above  may be  legally  and  validly  issued  from  time to time in
accordance  with the  Declaration of Trust of The Parkstone  Advantage Fund upon
receipt of consideration  sufficient to comply with the Declaration of Trust and
subject  to  compliance  with  the  Securities  Act of  1933,  as  amended,  the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and applicable state laws regulating
the sale of  securities.  Such  Shares,  when so issued,  will be fully paid and
non-assessible by the Trust.

         We hereby  consent to the filing of this opinion with the Notice.  This
opinion is rendered  pursuant to the  requirements of Rule 24f-2,  and it may be
relied upon only by you and the Securities and Exchange Commission,  and may not
be used, quoted, or referred to or filed with any other person without our prior
written permission.

                                Very truly yours,
