Our single model contains emission form non-spherical system: neutron star plus accretion disk directed towards observer. We obtained the very good fit with the reduced $\\chi^2$ per degree of freedom equal 1.08 for P13, 1.01 for ULX1, and 1.14 for ULX5.The normalization of our model constrains the distance to the source. The resulting distances are $D=3.41^{+0.11}_{-0.10}$, $6.55_{-0.81}^{+0.69}$ and $2.60^{+0.05}_{-0.03}$~Mpc for P13, ULX1 and ULX5 respectively.
