          Registration File No. 333-47082
          ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the
preparation of Registration Statement No. 333-47082 on Form S-1 and amendments
thereto (the "Registration Statement") filed by the Company with the Securities
and Exchange Commission with respect to an offering by the Company of 5,000,000
shares of Common Stock, no par value per share (the "Shares"). Of the 5,000,000
Shares, 1,430,000 shares are to be offered by the Company through one or more
broker-dealers selected by the Company; 1,070,000 shares are to be offered by
the founders of the Company, and 2,500,000 shares are to be offered the holder
of certain convertible debentures and stock warrants issued by the Company,
which shares are issuable upon the conversion of such debentures and the
exercise of such warrants.

         In so acting, we have examined original, or photostatic or certified
copies, of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company,
of the Board of Directors of the Company (as now or previously constituted), and
of public officials, and of such other documents as we have deemed relevant. In
such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to
original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic
copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents.

         Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

         1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing
in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia.

         2. The Shares, when issued and sold upon the terms described in the
Registration Statement, will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and
non-assessable.

         We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to us in the prospectus under the
caption "Legal Matters." In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in
within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the general rules and regulations of the
Commission.


                                
                                   Sincerely,

                                   EPSTEIN BECKER & GREEN, P.C.
