Re:
Registration Statement on Form S-1
 
Registration for Resale of 1,086,400 Shares of Common Stock
 
Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
We have acted as counsel for ZST Digital Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-164107) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with the resale of an aggregate of 1,086,400 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) which may be sold by the selling stockholders listed in the Registration Statement from time to time.
 
The Shares, which are being registered in the Registration Statement for resale, consist of 1,086,400 shares of Common Stock that were issued by the Company to the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholders”). Of the Shares, 950,606 Shares were issued by the Company to the Selling Stockholders prior to a share exchange that the Company completed on January 9, 2009 (the "Share Exchange") and 135,794 Shares were issued to such Selling Stockholders upon their surrender and exchange of warrants that were also issued by the Company prior to the Share Exchange.
 
You have requested our opinion as to the matters set forth below in connection with the Registration Statement.  For purposes of this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended to date, and the corporate action of the Company that provides for the issuance of the Shares.  We have examined and relied upon certificates of public officials and, as to certain matters of fact that are material to our opinion, we have also relied on a Fact Certificate from an officer of the Company.
 
We have made assumptions that are customary in opinions of this kind, including the assumptions of the genuineness of all signatures on original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof, and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof.  We have not verified any of those assumptions.
