Item 4.  Description of Securities

         Not Applicable.


Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts

         Not Applicable.


Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

         Article Five of the Company's  Articles of Incorporation and Article VI
of the Company's Bylaws require the Company to indemnify,  to the fullest extent
authorized  by  applicable  law, any person who is or is threatened to be made a
party to any  civil,  criminal,  administrative,  arbitrative  or  investigative
proceeding  instituted  or  threatened by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director  or officer of the  Company or is or was  serving at the request of the
Company as a director  or officer  of another  corporation,  partnership,  joint
venture, trust, other enterprise or employee benefit plan.

<PAGE>



         Article Four of the Company's Articles of Incorporation  provides that,
to  the  fullest  extent  permitted  by the  Colorado  Corporation  Code  or any
successor  statute,  directors of the Company shall not be liable to the Company
or any of  its  shareholders  for  monetary  damages  caused  by a  breach  of a
fiduciary duty by such director.

         Sections  7-109-102 and 103 of the Colorado  Business  Corporation  Act
("CBCA")  authorize  the  indemnification  of  directors  and  officers  against
liability incurred by reason of being a director or officer and against expenses
(including attorney's fees) judgments,  fines and amounts paid in settlement and
reasonably  incurred in  connection  with any action  seeking to establish  such
liability,  in the case of third-party  claims, if the officer or director acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the  corporation,  and in the case of actions by or in the
right of the corporation,  if the officer or director acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably  believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of
the  corporation  and if such officer or director  shall not have been  adjudged
liable to the corporation, unless a court otherwise determines.  Indemnification
is also authorized  with respect to any criminal action or proceeding  where the
officer or  director  also had no  reasonable  cause to believe  his conduct was
unlawful.

         The above discussion of the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws
and the CBCA is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text
of each of the foregoing.

Item 9.  Undertakings

         (a)      Rule 415 Offerings.

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

                                                           Page 4

<PAGE>



change   in  the   information   set  forth  in  the   registration   statement.
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  any  increase  or  decrease  in the  volume of
securities  offered (if the total dollar value of  securities  offered would not
exceed that which was  registered) and any deviation from the high or low end of
the estimated  maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the  Commission  pursuant  to Rule 424(b) if, in the  aggregate,  the
changes in volume  and price  represent  no more than 20% change in the  maximum
aggregate  offering price set forth in the  "Calculation  of  Registration  Fee"
table in the effective 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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the  registration  statement  is on Form S-3 or Form  S-8,  and the
information  required  to be  included in a  post-effective  amendment  by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant  pursuant to
Section  13 or Section  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.

     (b) Filings incorporating subsequent Exchange Act documents by reference.

         The undersigned  registrant hereby undertakes that, for the 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 Section 15(d) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  (and  where  applicable,  each  filing  of an
employee  benefit  plan's  annual  report  pursuant  to  Section  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) Request for  acceleration  of effective date or filing of  registration
statement on Form S-8.

         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  the  foregoing  provisions,   or  otherwise,  the
registrant  has  been  advised  that  in  the  opinion  of the  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  competent
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.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference  is made to the  registration  statement  on Form S-8  filed  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  on March 13, 1998 (the
"Registration  Statement")  by EFTC  Corporation,  a Colorado  corporation  (the
"Company"), for the purpose of registering 1,840,441 shares of Common Stock (the
"Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933.

As counsel for the Company,  we have examined  such  documents and reviewed such
questions of law as we have considered  necessary or appropriate for the purpose
of this opinion. Based on the foregoing,  we are of the opinion that the Shares,
when sold and  delivered  by the Company  pursuant  to (i) the EFTC  Corporation
Equity  Incentive  Plan,  (ii)  the  EFTC  Corporation  Stock  Option  Plan  for
Non-Employee Directors or (iii) the Stock Option Agreements dated August 5, 1996
and  September  30,  1997,  respectively,   as  described  in  the  Registration
Statement, will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We consent to the filing of this  opinion with the  Commission  as an exhibit to
the Registration Statement.

We do not express an opinion on any matters other than those expressly set forth
in this letter.

Very truly yours,
