Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel for InfoSonics Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, concerning registration of the transfer of up to 1,458,600 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), by certain stockholders of the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”).  The Shares include 358,600 shares of Common Stock underlying warrants which do not become exercisable until August 2, 2006 (the “Warrants”).

 

We have examined the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and the Bylaws of the Company and the record of the Company’s corporate proceedings concerning the registration described above.  In addition, we have examined such other certificates, agreements, documents and papers, and we have made such other inquiries and investigations of law as we have deemed appropriate and necessary in order to express the opinion set forth in this letter.  In our examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, photostatic, or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of all such latter documents.  In addition, as to certain matters we have relied upon certificates and advice from various state authorities and public officials, and we have assumed the accuracy of the material and the factual matters contained herein.

 

Subject to the foregoing and on the basis of the aforementioned examinations and investigations, it is our opinion that the Shares which have been, or which may be issued by the Company as described in the Registration Statement, are, or when issued will have been, legally issued, and do (or with respect to the shares underlying the Warrants, when payment of the exercise price is fully paid, will) constitute fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

We hereby consent (a) to be named in the Registration Statement and in the prospectus that constitutes a part of the Registration Statement as acting as counsel in connection with the

 



 

offering, including with respect to the issuance of securities offered in the offering; and (b) to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

 

This opinion is to be used solely for the purpose of the registration of the Common Stock and may not be used for any other purpose.

 

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

 

 

 

PATTON BOGGS LLP
