Re:
Registration
Statement on Form S-8
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have
acted as counsel for e.Digital Corporation (the “Company”) in connection with
the preparation and filing of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Registration Statement”),
relating to 1,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $.001 par value (the
“Common Stock”), issuable under Inducement Stock Options and/or Special Stock
Options issued by the Company to certain of its employees and consultants (the
“Options”).
We
have
examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of the Options and of such other documents, corporate records,
certificates of public officials and other instruments relating to the adoption
and implementation of the Options as we deemed necessary or advisable for
purposes of this opinion.
Based
on
the foregoing examination and subject to compliance with applicable state
securities and “blue sky” laws, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options are duly authorized and, when issued
in accordance with the Options, will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
We
consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to all references therein to our firm.
