Re:   Registration Statement on Form SB-2  (Registration No.  333-111419)

                In our capacity as counsel to Aptus Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), I have been asked to render this opinion in
connection with a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration
Statement") originally filed by the Company on December 19, 2003 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), for registration under the Act of an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares
of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.001 per share ("Common Stock").

                I have examined such corporate records, certificates and other
documents as I have considered necessary and proper for the purpose of this
opinion. In such examination, I have assumed the genuiness of all signatures,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity
to the original documents submitted to me as copies and the authenticity of the
originals of such latter documents. As to any facts material to my opinion, I
have, when relevant facts were not independently established, relied upon the
aforesaid record, certificates and documents.

                Based on the foregoing, It is my opinion that when (i) the
Registration Statement shall have become effective under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, (ii) the Certificates for the company's shares of the common
stock have been duly executed, countersigned, registered and delivered and the
consideration therefor transferred to the Company, then the Stock shall be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

                I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as herein set
forth as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and further consent to the
reference to my firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus forming
a part of the Registration Statement. By giving the foregoing consent, I do not
admit that I come within the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

                This opinion letter is based as to matters of law solely on the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. I express no opinion herein as
to any other laws, statutes, regulations, or ordinances.

                I assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the
foregoing subsequent to the delivery of this opinion letter. This opinion letter
has been prepared in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement on
the date of this opinion letter and should not be quoted in whole or in part or
otherwise be referred to, nor filed with or furnished to any governmental agency
or other person or entity, without my prior written consent.

Very truly yours,


/s/ Miles Garnett
