Dear Sir or Madam
NETCLASS TECHNOLOGY INC (the Company)
We are lawyers qualified to practise in the Cayman Islands and have acted as Cayman Islands legal advisers to the Company in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1, including all amendments or supplements thereto, and accompanying prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) (the Registration Statement), relating to the resale by the selling shareholder of up to 5,438,788 class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.00025 each (the Class A Ordinary Shares), including (i) up to 4,369,288 Class A Ordinary Shares (the Conversion Shares) underlying certain convertible promissory note (the Note) issued to the selling shareholder pursuant to a securities purchase agreement by and between the Company and the selling shareholder on 1 August 2025 (the Securities Purchase Agreement) and (ii) 1,069,500 Class A Ordinary Shares (the Issued Shares and together with the Conversion Shares, the Resale Shares) issued to the selling shareholder pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in the capital of the Company.
We are furnishing this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.
For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined the Documents (as defined in Schedule 1). We have not examined any other documents, official or corporate records or external or internal registers and have not undertaken or been instructed to undertake any further enquiry or due diligence in relation to the transaction which is the subject of this opinion.
In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2 which we have not independently verified.

Jersey legal services are provided through a referral arrangement with Harneys (Jersey) which is an independently owned and controlled Jersey law firm.

Based solely upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3, we are of the opinion that under the laws of the Cayman Islands:
1 | Existence and Good Standing. The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands. It is a separate legal entity and is subject to suit in its own name. |
2 | Authorised Share Capital. Based on our review of the M&A (as defined in Schedule 1), the authorised share capital of the Company is US$50,000.00 divided into 200,000,000 shares of par value US$0.00025 each, comprising (i) 190,000,000 class A ordinary shares of par value USD0.00025 each and (ii) 10,000,000 class B ordinary shares of par value US$0.00025 each. |
3 | Valid Issuance of Conversion Shares. The allotment and issuance of the Conversion Shares as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Note have been duly authorised and, when allotted, issued and fully paid for in accordance with the Registration Statement and the Note, and when the names of the shareholders are entered in the register of members of the Company, the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. |
4 | Issued Shares. The Issued Shares offered by the selling shareholder have been allotted and validly issued as fully paid and non-assessable shares, and there will be no further obligation of the holders of any of the Issued Shares to make any further payment to the Company in respect of such Issued Shares. |
5 | Cayman Islands Law. The statements under the headings “Material Income Tax Consideration – Cayman Islands Taxation” “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities”, and “Description of Share Capital” in the prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, to the extent that they constitute statements of Cayman Islands law, are accurate in all material respects as at the date of this opinion and such statements constitute our opinion. |
This opinion is confined to the matters expressly opined on herein and given on the basis of the laws of the Cayman Islands as they are in force and applied by the Cayman Islands courts at the date of this opinion. We have made no investigation of, and express no opinion on, the laws of any other jurisdiction. We express no opinion as to matters of fact. Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in the Registration Statement. We express no opinion with respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.
In connection with the above opinion, we hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference made to our firm in the Registration Statement under the headings “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities”, and “Legal Matters” and elsewhere in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.
This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein.
This opinion shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.
