Re:
Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (Registration no. 333-333-256280), Filed May
19, 2021
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
As
counsel to Dynatronics Corporation, a Utah corporation (the
“Company”), we
have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-3 to be filed by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”)
on or about May 19, 2021 (the “Registration
Statement”) in connection with the registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), of the offering and sale from time to time of
(i) shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per
share (the “Common
Stock”), (ii) shares of the Company’s preferred
stock, no par value per share (the “Preferred
Stock”), (iii) one or more series of debt securities
(the “Debt
Securities”) issuable pursuant to an indenture (the
“Indenture”) by
and between the Company and a financial institution to be
identified therein as trustee (the “Trustee”),
(iv) warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock
or Debt Securities (the “Warrants”),
and/or (v) units consisting of any combination of such foregoing
securities described in clauses (i) through (v) above (the
“Units”),
having an aggregate public offering price of up to $50,000,000. The
Common Stock, the Preferred Stock, the Debt Securities, the
Warrants, and the Units are collectively referred to herein as the
“Securities.”
The
Securities may be sold from time to time by the Company as set
forth in the Registration Statement, the prospectus contained
within the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”)
and supplements to the Prospectus. We have also examined (i) the
prospectus supplement filed, together with the Registration
Statement and Prospectus, with the Commission on May 19, 2021 (the
“Prospectus
Supplement”) relating to the sale by the Company
through Canaccord Genuity LLC and Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as
the sales agents (the “Agents”), from
time to time of shares of Common Stock (the “Placement
Shares”) having an aggregate maximum offering price of
up to $2,677,997 pursuant to the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement for the sale of the
Placement Shares included in the Registration Statement, and (ii)
that certain Equity Distribution Agreement, dated as of March 12,
2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Equity Distribution
Agreement to be entered into by and between the Company and the
Agents (the “Equity Distribution
Agreement”). At your request, we are providing this
letter to express our opinion on the matters set forth below
(“our
opinion”).
In
connection with our opinion, we have examined such matters of fact
as we have deemed necessary, which included examination of
originals or copies of the Company’s current articles of
incorporation and bylaws, as amended (collectively, the
“Charter
Documents”), the Registration Statement and the
exhibits thereto, the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the
Equity Distribution Agreement, certain corporate proceedings of the
board of directors of the Company (the “Board”),
committees of the Board and shareholders relating to adoption or
approval of the Charter Documents, the filing of the Registration
Statement, the entry into the Equity Distribution Agreement and the
issuance of the Placement Shares, documents (including certificates
from the Company and the Company’s transfer agent) regarding
the Company’s outstanding and reserved capital stock and
other securities, and such other documents as we have deemed
advisable, and we have examined such questions of law as we have
deemed necessary.

In our
examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have
assumed, and express no opinion as to, the authenticity and
completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the
genuineness of signatures on documents reviewed by us, the
conformity to originals and the completeness of all documents
submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of all parties
executing any documents (other than the Company), the lack of any
undisclosed termination, modification or waiver of any document,
the absence of any extrinsic agreements or documents that might
change or affect the interpretation or terms of documents, and the
due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by each
party thereto other than the Company. We have also assumed that any
certificates or instruments representing the Securities, when
issued, will be executed by officers of the Company duly authorized
to do so, and, in the case of Debt Securities, properly
authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and
delivered to the intended recipients with the intent that the
Company be bound thereby. Furthermore, with respect to the
Company’s uncertificated capital stock, we assume that issued
Common Stock, including any Placement Shares, will not be reissued
by the Company in uncertificated form until any previously issued
stock certificate representing such issued Common Stock has been
surrendered to the Company in accordance with Section 16-10a-626(1)
of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act, and that the Company
will properly register the transfer of the Common Stock to the
purchasers of such Common Stock on the Company’s record of
uncertificated securities. We have also assumed that the Indenture
at the time of execution, authentication, issuance and delivery of
the Debt Securities will be a valid and legally binding obligation
of the Trustee. In rendering our opinion, we have also relied upon
a good standing certificate regarding the Company issued by the
Division of Corporations and Commercial Code of the State of Utah
and representations and certifications made to us by the Company,
including, without limitation, representations in an opinion
certificate addressed to us of even date herewith, that the Company
has available a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common
Stock that are not currently outstanding or reserved for issuance
under other outstanding securities or plans of the Company to
enable the Company to issue and deliver all of the Securities as of
the date of this letter.
We
render this opinion only with respect to, and express no opinion
herein concerning the application or effect of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than (i) the existing federal laws of the United
States of America, (ii) the existing laws of the State of Utah, and
(iii) the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act and reported
judicial decisions relating thereto (clauses (i) through (iii)
collectively, the “Applicable
Laws”). To the extent that any Warrant Agreement,
Indenture or Unit Agreement (each as defined below) is governed by
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Utah, our
opinion expressed below assumes that Internal Utah Law (as defined
below) will exclusively apply to and govern such Warrant Agreement,
Indenture or Unit Agreement, without regard to any interpretation
or construction that might be indicated by the laws stated as
governing any such Warrant Agreement, Indenture or Unit Agreement.
As used herein “Internal Utah
Law” means the
internal laws of the State of Utah applicable to a contract made by
Utah residents in the State of Utah that selects Utah law as the
governing law of such contract, without regard to any laws or
equitable principles regarding choice of law, conflict of laws or
public policies that might make any other law(s) applicable.
Without limitation, we express no opinion with respect to the
federal laws of the United States of America or the securities or
“blue sky” laws of any state or any local or regional
laws.
In
connection with our opinions expressed below, we have assumed that,
(i) at or prior to the time of the delivery of any of the
Securities, including the Placement Shares, there will not have
occurred any change in the law or the facts affecting the validity
of the Securities, (ii) if any Debt Securities are issued, such
Debt Securities will only be issued pursuant to the Indenture in
the form to be filed with the Registration Statement as an exhibit
and that there will not have occurred any change in law affecting
the enforceability of the Debt Securities, (iii) all applicable
covenants binding on or applicable to the Company restricting the
issuance of Debt Securities will have been validly waived, (iv) the
Registration Statement and any amendments (including any necessary
post-effective amendments) will have been declared effective under
the Securities Act, (v) at the time of the offer, issuance and sale
of any Securities, including the Placement Shares, no stop order
suspending the Registration Statement’s effectiveness will
have been issued and remain in effect, (vi) no future amendments
will be made to the Charter Documents that would be in conflict or
inconsistent with the Company’s right and ability to issue
the Securities, including the Placement Shares, (vii) at the time
of the offer, issuance and sale of any Securities, including the
Placement Shares, the Company will have a sufficient number of
authorized and unissued shares of the applicable class or series of
its capital stock included in (or purchasable upon exercise or
conversion of) the Securities, including the Placement Shares, so
issued and sold (after taking into account all other outstanding
securities of the Company which may require the Company to issue
shares of such applicable class or series) to be able to issue all
such shares, and (viii) all purchasers of Securities, including the
Placement Shares, will timely pay in full to the Company all
amounts they have agreed to pay to purchase such Securities,
including the Placement Shares, as approved by the Board or a duly
authorized committee thereof, and that the purchase price of any
Securities, including the Placement Shares, that are shares of
capital stock will not be less than the par value thereof. We also
have assumed that the terms of any Debt Securities to be
established subsequent to the date hereof, the issuance and
delivery of Securities, including the Placement Shares, subsequent
to the date hereof and the compliance by the Company with the terms
of such Securities, including the Placement Shares, will not
violate any Applicable Law (including, without limitation, any law
relating to usury) or result in a violation of any provision of any
of the Charter Documents or of any instrument or agreement then
binding upon the Company or any restriction imposed by any court or
governmental body having jurisdiction over the
Company.

This
opinion is qualified by, and is subject to, and we render no
opinion with respect to, the following limitations and exceptions
to the enforceability of the Debt Securities:
(i)
The effect of the
laws of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, and other similar laws now or hereinafter in effect
relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors,
including the effect of statutory or other laws regarding
fraudulent transfers or preferential transfers.
(ii)
The effect of
general principles of equity and similar principles, including,
without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good
faith and fair dealing, public policy and unconscionability, and
the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive
relief, or other equitable remedies, regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(iii)
The effect of laws
relating to usury or permissible rates of interest for loans,
forbearances or the use of money.
We
express no opinion regarding the effectiveness of any waiver or
stay, extension or of unknown future rights. Further, we express no
opinion regarding the effect of provisions relating to
indemnification, exculpation or contribution to the extent such
provisions may be held unenforceable as contrary to federal or
state securities laws or public policy.
The
Company has informed us that the Company intends to issue the
Securities, including the Placement Shares, from time to time on a
delayed or continuous basis. This opinion is limited to the
Applicable Laws, including the rules and regulations thereunder, as
in effect on the date hereof. We are basing this opinion on our
understanding that, prior to issuing any Securities, excluding the
Placement Shares, in connection with the Registration Statement,
the Company will advise us in writing of the terms thereof and
other information material thereto, will afford us an opportunity
to review the operative documents pursuant to which such Securities
are to be issued (including the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus and the applicable supplement to the Prospectus, as then
in effect) and will file such supplement or amendment to this
opinion (if any) as we may reasonably consider necessary or
appropriate with respect to such Securities. However, we undertake
no responsibility to monitor the Company’s future compliance
with Applicable Laws, rules or regulations of the Commission or
other governmental body. In particular, except with respect to the
Placement Shares, we assume that the Company will obtain the
requisite approval of the Board and the requisite approval of its
shareholders, if required by the laws of the State of Utah or the
Charter Documents, or if necessary because the Company does not
have a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and unreserved
shares of its capital stock at the time of issuance to comply with
any Securities. Except with respect to the Placement Shares, we
also assume the Company will timely file any and all supplements to
the Registration Statement and Prospectus as are necessary to
comply with Applicable Laws in effect from time to time and duly
amend its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized
number of shares of its capital stock if the number of such shares
to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement would cause the
Company to issue more shares than it has authorized.

With
respect to our opinion expressed in paragraph (7) below, we have
assumed upon the issuance of any of the Placement Shares, the total
number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will not
exceed the total number of shares of Common Stock that the Company
is then authorized to issue under its Articles of incorporation, as
then in effect.
Based
upon the foregoing, we are of the following opinion:
1.
With respect to the
shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the Registration
Statement, when (a) the issuance of and the terms of the offering
of such shares of Common Stock and related matters have been duly
authorized by appropriate corporate action of the Board and, if
required, the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the
Charter Documents and Applicable Laws and (b) if required,
certificates representing the shares of Common Stock have been duly
executed, countersigned, registered and delivered either (i) in
accordance with the applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or
similar agreement approved by the Board, or upon the exercise of
warrants to purchase Common Stock, upon payment of the
consideration therefor (in an amount not less than the par value of
the Common Stock) provided for therein or (ii) upon conversion or
exercise of any other security of the Company, in accordance with
the terms of such security or the instrument governing such
security providing for such conversion or exercise as approved by
the Board, for the consideration approved by the Board (in an
amount not less than the par value per share of the Common Stock),
then such shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
2.
With respect to any
particular series of shares of Preferred Stock registered pursuant
to the Registration Statement, when (a) the issuance and terms of
such shares of Preferred Stock, the terms of the offering thereof
and related matters, including the adoption of a certificate of
designation relating to such Preferred Stock conforming to the
Charter Documents and the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (a
“Certificate”)
and the filing of the Certificate with the Division of Corporations
and Commercial Code of the State of Utah (or the filing of an
amendment to the Company’s Articles of incorporation to
similar effect), have been duly authorized by appropriate corporate
action of the Board and, if required, the shareholders of the
Company in accordance with the Charter Documents and Applicable
Laws and (b) if required, certificates representing the shares of
Preferred Stock have been duly executed, countersigned, registered
and delivered either (i) in accordance with the applicable
definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement approved by
the Board, or upon the exercise of warrants to purchase Preferred
Stock, upon payment of the consideration therefor (in an amount not
less than the par value per share of such Preferred Stock) provided
for therein or (ii) upon conversion or exercise of any other
security of the Company, in accordance with the terms of such
security or the instrument governing such security providing for
such conversion or exercise as approved by the Board, for the
consideration approved by the Board (in an amount not less than the
par value per share of the Preferred Stock), then such shares of
Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
3.
With respect to any
Debt Securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement,
when (a) the issuance of such Debt Securities has been duly
authorized by appropriate corporate action of the Board and, if
required, the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the
Charter Documents and Applicable Laws, (b) an Indenture relating to
such Debt Securities substantially in the form filed with the
Registration Statement as an exhibit has been duly authorized and
validly executed and delivered by each of the Company and the
Trustee, (c) the form and terms of the Debt Securities have been
duly established in accordance with the Indenture pursuant to
resolutions duly adopted by the Board and as set forth in an
officer’s certificate or supplemental indenture duly
authorized by the Board in accordance with the Charter Documents
and Applicable Laws and duly executed by an authorized officer of
the Company and (d) instruments representing such Debt Securities
have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture and any supplement thereto, and issued, sold
and delivered in the manner and for the consideration approved by
the Board and stated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus
and any Prospectus Supplement relating thereto (as amended as of
the date of such issuance, sale and delivery), any applicable
definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement and upon the
exercise of warrants to purchase Debt Securities, upon payment of
the consideration therefor provided for therein, then the Debt
Securities will be validly issued and will constitute valid and
binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company
in accordance with their terms.
