Re: Encore Ventures, Inc.'s Registration Statement on Form SB-2
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Encore Ventures, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation
of the registration statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration
Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), relating to the offering of certain shares
of the Company's common stock.
In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have reviewed: (a)
the Registration Statement and the exhibits attached thereto; (b)
the Company's Articles of Incorporation; (c) the Company's
Bylaws; (d) certain records of the Company's corporate
proceedings as reflected in its minute books; and (e) such
statutes, records and other documents as we have deemed relevant.
In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, and conformity with the originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies thereof. In addition, we have made such
other examinations of law and fact as we have deemed relevant in
order to form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the common
stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.
Very truly yours,
CANE AND COMPANY, LLC
