<P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT SIZE=2>10,000,000
Shares Of Common Stock </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
prospectus relates to the offer and sale by Centiv,&nbsp;Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Centiv"), of shares of its $.001 par value per share common stock to certain employees,
officers, directors and consultants (the "plan participants") pursuant to written agreements and the 2004 Non-Qualified Stock&nbsp;&amp; Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Plan"). Pursuant to the
Stock Plan and written agreements, Centiv is registering hereunder and then issuing, upon receipt of adequate consideration therefore, 10,000,000 shares of common stock, of which up to 10,000,000
shares may be shares of common stock underlying options to purchase common stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
common stock is not subject to any restriction on transferability. Recipients of shares other than persons who are "affiliates" of Centiv within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may sell all or part of the shares in any way permitted by law, including sales on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and in the over-the-counter market at prices
prevailing at the time of such sale. Centiv is registering 10,00,000 shares pursuant to the Stock Plan. Any shares issued to a person who is an affiliate will direct such person to comply with the
resale restrictions applicable to affiliates. An affiliate is summarily, any director, executive officer or controlling shareholder of Centiv or any one of its subsidiaries. An "affiliate" of Centiv
is subject to Section&nbsp;16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). If a consultant who is not now an "affiliate" becomes an "affiliate" of Centiv in the
future, he/she would then be subject to Section&nbsp;16(b) of the Exchange Act. The common stock was traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol "CNTV" until February&nbsp;6, 2004. On
February&nbsp;5, 2004, the closing bid price for the common stock was $4.69 per share, which reflected the closing bid before The Nasdaq Stock Market,&nbsp;Inc. implemented a trading halt pending
receipt of additional information from the Company. On February&nbsp;6, 2004, the Company filed a current report on Form&nbsp;8-K containing information on recent activity. On
February&nbsp;9, 2004, the common stock was trading on the OTC Other (Pink Sheets) under the symbol "CNTV". The best bid and best ask prices on February&nbsp;9, 2004 were $1.35 and $1.38,
respectively. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>The Company  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Centiv has its principal executive offices at 998 Forest Edge Drive, Vernon Hills, Illinois 60061. Centiv's telephone number is 949.717.0626. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Purpose  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Centiv will issue common stock to plan participants pursuant to written agreements and the Stock Plan, which have been approved by the Board of Directors of
Centiv. The Stock Plan is intended to provide a method whereby Centiv may be stimulated by the personal involvement of the plan participants in Centiv's future prosperity, thereby advancing the
interests of Centiv, and all of its shareholders. A copy of the Stock Plan has been filed as an exhibits to this registration statement. The written agreements with each plan participant covering
stock and/or stock options are maintained at the executive offices of Centiv. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Common Stock  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board has authorized the issuance of up to 10,000,000&nbsp;shares of the common stock to the plan participants upon effectiveness of this registration
statement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>The Plan Participants  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The plan participants have agreed to provide their expertise and advice to Centiv for the purposes set forth in their consulting agreements with the company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>No Restrictions on Transfer  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The plan participants will become the record and beneficial owners of the shares of common stock upon issuance and delivery and are entitled to all of the rights
of ownership, including the right to vote any shares awarded and to receive ordinary cash dividends on the common stock. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Tax Treatment to the Plan Participants  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The common stock is not qualified under Section&nbsp;401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan participants, therefore, will be required for federal income
tax purposes to recognize compensation during the taxable year of issuance unless the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, absent a specific contractual provision to
the contrary, the plan participants will receive compensation taxable at ordinary rates equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of receipt since there will be no substantial risk of
forfeiture or other restrictions on transfer. If, however, the plan participants receive shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of an option or options at an exercise price below the fair
market value of the shares on the date of exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise will be deemed compensation for federal
income tax purposes. The plan participants are urged to consult each of their tax advisors on this matter. Further, if any recipient is an "affiliate," Section&nbsp;16(b) of the Exchange Act is
applicable and will affect the issue of taxation. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Tax Treatment to the Company  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The amount of income recognized by any recipient hereunder in accordance with the foregoing discussion will be a tax deductible expense by Centiv for federal
income tax purposes in the taxable year of Centiv during which the recipient recognizes income. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Restrictions on Resales  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the event that an affiliate of Centiv acquires shares of common stock hereunder, the affiliate will be subject to Section&nbsp;16(b) of the Exchange Act.
Further, in the event that any affiliate acquiring shares hereunder has sold or sells any shares of common stock in the six months preceding or following the receipt of shares </FONT></P>

special counsel for the Company, we have examined the Company's Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, minute book, and certain other corporate records. For the purpose of the opinions
expressed below, I have also examined the Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-8 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
covering the Common Stock in this offering. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when sold and issued in accordance with the Stock Plan, the written agreements and the
Registration Statement and related prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. </FONT></P>

truly yours, </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of
nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit
by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged
to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding
referred to in subsections&nbsp;(a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
indemnification under subsections&nbsp;(a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in subsections&nbsp;(a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination,
(1)&nbsp;by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2)&nbsp;by a committee of such directors designated by
majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3)&nbsp;if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or
(4)&nbsp;by the stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may
be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it
shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former
directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in
such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. </FONT></P>

employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or
surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. </FONT></P>

purposes of this section, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a
person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the corporation" shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation" as referred to in this section. </FONT></P>

indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this
section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation's obligation to advance expenses
(including attorneys' fees). </FONT></P>
