Gentlemen:

     This opinion is submitted pursuant to applicable rule of the Securities and
Exchange  Commission  with  respect to the  registration  by the Company and the
resale of an aggregate of 1,000,000  shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per
share (the  "Common  Stock")  to be issued  pursuant  to the above  Registration
Statement  and the  Company's  1997 Stock  Option Plan  ("Plan").  The shares of
Common Stock to be sold consist of 1,000,000  shares of Common Stock  underlying
options  to be  issued  the  Plan.  Members  of this  firm are the  owners of an
aggregate of 7,488 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

     In our capacity as counsel to the Company,  we have  examined the original,
certified,  conformed, photostat or other copies of the compensation agreements,
the  Company's  Certificate  of  Incorporation,  By-Laws and  corporate  minutes
provided to us by the  Company.  In all such  examinations,  we have assumed the
genuineness  of all  signatures  on original  documents,  and the  conformity to
originals or certified  documents  of all copies  submitted to us as  conformed,
photostat  or other  copies.  In passing  upon  certain  corporate  records  and
documents  of the  Company,  we have  necessarily  assumed the  correctness  and
completeness  of the statements  made or included  therein by the Company and we
express no opinion thereon.

     Based upon and in reliance of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the
Common Stock,  when issued in  accordance  with the terms of the Options and the
Plan will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in the Registration  Statement
on Form S-8 to be filed with the Commission.



                                Very truly yours,
