Washington, D.C. 20549 RE: LIGHTPATH TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - AMENDED & RESTATED DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN - FORM S-8 REGISTRATION STATEMENT Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as counsel to LightPath Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the registration of 50,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Shares"), issuable pursuant to the Company's Amended & Restated Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). In that connection, we have examined minutes of a meeting of the Company's Board of Directors held on May 11, 1999 at which the Shares were authorized for issuance under the Plan. We have further examined such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Company, including all amendments thereto. For purposes of our opinion, we have assumed the availability of a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares at the time of such issuance. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. Very truly yours, Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P. EX-23.1 3 CONSENT OF KPMG LLP EXHIBIT 23.1 CONSENT OF KPMG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors LightPath Technologies, Inc. We consent to the use of our report incorporated herein by reference. Our report dated August 10, 1999, except for note 5 which is as of December 14, 1999, contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and is dependent on external sources of capital, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty. /s/ KPMG LLP Albuquerque, New Mexico January 31, 2000 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
