Magnolia Lane Income Fund

7 Grove Street

Topsfield, MA 01983

 

Gentlemen:

 

You have requested our opinion as counsel for Magnolia Lane Income Fund, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Registration Statement relates to an offering of 107,814 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued pursuant to Regulation D, Rule 506 exemption, as promulgated by the Commission under the Act.

 

In order to render our opinion, we have examined the following documents identified and authenticated to our satisfaction:

 

  (a) the Registration Statement which includes the prospectus;

 

  (b) the certificate of an Officer of the Company dated on even date herewith (the “Officer’s Certificate”);

 

  (c) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company dated May 12, 2009;

 

  (d) a Board of Directors resolution ratifying the registration of the Shares on the Registration Statement;

 

 
 

 

 

August 20, 2015

 

  (e) the Board of Directors resolution authorizing the issuance of shares pursuant to Regulation D, Section 506 of Act; and

 

  (f) a certificate of good standing of the Company issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware dated August 19, 2015.

 

In each instance we have relied upon the content of each of the documents set out above, and have relied upon the content of the Officer’s Certificate. In reliance on the factual matters contained therein, and based upon our review of the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares, have been duly authorized, were legally issued, fully paid and are non-assessable.

 

We offer our opinion based upon the laws of the State of Delaware. This opinion opines upon Delaware law including statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws. We express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm in the Registration Statement. In so doing, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

 

Very truly yours,

 

SZAFERMAN, LAKIND, BLUMSTEIN & BLADER, PC
