PART I
Item 1. Plan Information.
Not applicable.
Item 2. Registrant Information and Employee Plan Annual Information.
Not applicable.
PART II
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The Registrant incorporates the following documents by reference in this Registration Statement:
(a) The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1999;
(b) The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended April 30, 2000;
(c) The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation and Amendments thereto, and the Registrant's Bylaws;
(d) All other documents filed by Registrant after the date of this Registration Statement under
Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement that registers securities covered
hereunder that remain unsold.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
The class of securities to be offered hereby is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's authorized capitalization is 25,000,000 shares of common
stock, $.0001 par value, of which approximately 6,525,539 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding.
Holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to vote
at any meeting of shareholders. Shares of Common Stock do not carry cumulative voting rights and therefore,
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock will be able to elect the entire board of
directors and, if they do so, minority shareholders would not be able to elect any members to the board of
directors. The Company's board of directors has authority, without action by the Company's shareholders,
to issue all or any portion of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, which would reduce the
percentage ownership of the Company of its shareholders and which would dilute the book value of the Common
Stock.
Shareholders of the Company have no preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of Common Stock. The
Common Stock is not subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event
of liquidation of the Company, the shares of Common Stock are entitled to share equally in corporate assets
after the satisfaction of all liabilities. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends
as the board of directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally available for the payment of
dividends. During the last two fiscal years the Company has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock
and does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
The Registrant is a Florida corporation. The General Corporation Law of Florida provides authority for broad
indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents. The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as
Amended, incorporate the indemnification provisions of the General Corporation Law of Florida to the fullest
extent provided.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its Directors indemnifying them against
liability and reasonable costs and expenses incurred in litigation arising by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director, officer, stockholder, employee, or agent of the Registrant, provided that the
director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably intended to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Registrant, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
his or her conduct was unlawful.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not Applicable.

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 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.
(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 offered 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. 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 (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. 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 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 final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable
grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing the Registration Statement on Form S-8 and
has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, on this 22nd day of August, 2000

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Washington, D.C. 20549
Re: Rhino Ecosystems, Inc.
Gentlemen:
This opinion is given in connection with the registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of an
aggregate of 670,000 shares of Common Stock granted by Rhino Ecosystems, Inc. (the "Company"). The Shares
are being registered pursuant to a requirement of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act") pursuant to a Registration Statement filed with the Washington, D.C. Office of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement").
We have acted as counsel to the Company only in connection with the preparation of the Form S-8 Registration
Statement pursuant to which the Shares were registered, in so acting, have examined the originals and copies
of corporate instruments, certificates and other documents of the Company and interviewed representatives of
the Company to the extent we deemed it necessary, in order to form the basis for the opinion hereinafter set
forth.
In such examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and authenticity of all documents
submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion
which have not been independently established, we have relied upon statements or certificates of officers or
representatives of the Company.
The 670,000 shares of Common Stock are being registered and distributed pursuant to the Company's Registration
Statement. The shares of Common Stock are now authorized but unissued.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Shares of the Company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, having been issued
and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, are fully paid and non-assessable and there will be no
personal liability to the owners thereof.

Statement and the inclusion of this opinion as an Exhibit thereto.
