| RE: | MagnaData, Inc. (the “Company”) |
| | Registration Statement on Form SB-2 for |
| | 30,000,000 Shares of Common Stock |
To Whom it May Concern:
At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed by MagnaData, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about June 6, 2003, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated October 27, 2003 and Amendment No. 2 dated December 30, 2003 (the “Registration Statement”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”), all of which are to be sold or distributed by the Company.
In rendering this opinion, we have examined the following:
- the Registration Statement, together with the Exhibits filed as a part thereof or incorporated therein by reference;
- the minutes of meetings and actions by written consent of the stockholders and Board of Directors that are contained in the Company’s minute books; and
- the Company’s stock transfer ledger stating the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock as of December 30, 2003.
In our examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, and express no opinion as to, the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals and completeness of all documents submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of all persons or entities executing the same, the lack of any undisclosed termination, modification, waiver or amendment to any document reviewed by us and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where due authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effecti veness thereof.
We have also assumed that the certificates representing the Shares have been, or will be when issued, properly signed by authorized officers of the Company or their agents.

We have made no independent investigation or other attempt to verify the accuracy of any of such information or to determine the existence or non-existence of any other factual matters; however, we are not aware of any facts that would cause us to believe that the opinion expressed herein is not accurate.
