ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not Applicable
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
The validity of the shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant
to this registration statement will be passed upon by Frascona, Joiner and
Goodman, P.C. Frascona, Joiner and Goodman, P.C., is legal counsel
for the Company and individual shareholders of Frascona, Joiner and
Goodman, P.C. are to receive the shares issued pursuant to this
registration statement. Gary S. Joiner, who is a shareholder of
Frascona, Joiner and Goodman, P.C. is an affiliate of the Company in
that he owns more than 10% of the currently issued and outstanding
common stock of the Company.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Article 109 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act: (i) gives
Colorado corporations broad powers to indemnify their present and
former directors and officers and those of affiliated corporations against
expenses (including attorneys fees) judgments, fines and other amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
threatened, pending or completed actions, suits, or proceedings to which
they are parties or are threatened to be made parties by reason of being
or having been such directors or officers, subject to specified conditions
and exclusions; (ii) gives an officer or director who successfully defends
an action the right to be so indemnified; and (iii) permits a corporation
to buy directors' and officers' liability insurance.
As permitted by Colorado law, the Registrant's Articles of In-
corporation provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors and
officers against expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle, or
satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of
their being or having been directors or officers unless, in any such
action, they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation also exclude
personal liability for its directors for monetary damages based upon any
violation of their fiduciary duties as directors, except as to liability for
any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, acts
which constitute improper distributions to shareholders in violation of
Section 7-106-401 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act, or any
transaction from which a director receives an improper personal benefit.
This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a director may
have to be indemnified and does not affect any director's liability under
federal or applicable state securities laws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in such Act
and is therefore unenforceable.
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED
Not Applicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.
The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is
incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
1. 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 section 13(a) or section 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.
2. 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 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
the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: Professional Services Compensation Agreement
Registration Statement on Form S-8
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Buffalo Capital V, Ltd., a Colorado
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the filing of the
Company's registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on or about July 20, 1998 (the "Registration
Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
Registration Statement is being filed in connection with the Company's
offering of 80,000 shares of common stock (the "Shares") pursuant to
the Company's Professional Services Compensation Agreement (the
"Plan").
We are familiar with the proceedings to date with respect to such
offering and have examined such records, documents and matters of law
and satisfied ourselves as to such matters of fact as we have considered
relevant for purposes of this opinion.
For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the
originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also
assumed the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all
documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the
authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto, and the
due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties
thereto.
We are of the opinion that when the Registration Statement shall
have become effective and the Shares shall have been issued on the
terms contemplated by the Plan, the Shares will be legally issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.
This opinion shall be limited to the laws of the State of Colorado
and the federal laws of the United States of America.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
