          Application 08/786,741                                                      



                    Mr. Bradbury states (D. ¶2, S.D. ¶2):                             
                    On or about June 2, 1993, pursuant to a pur-                      
                    chase order (P.O.# 7120-M), Metal Building                        
                    Components, Inc. (hereinafter “MBCI”) agreed                      

                    to purchase a roll former (hereinafter the                        
                    “MBCI roll former”) that was to be sub-                           
                    sequently designed and manufactured by                            
                    Bradbury.                                                         
          Purchase order 7120-M (Invoice 19689) describes the item ordered            
          simply as “Bradbury Rollforming Equipment,” with a price of                 
          $951,234.00, a payment of $285,370.20 being “NOW DUE.”  There is            
          no evidence in the record of the circumstances surrounding this             
          order, and in particular, whether the equipment ordered was to be           
          designed by Bradbury from scratch, or whether it would be a                 
          modification of Bradbury’s existing equipment.  Two additional              
          invoices for the same purchase order, dated September 8, 1993               
          (No. 20023) and March 28, 1994 (No. 21132), indicate,                       
          respectively, a further balance due of $285,370.20, and a balance           
          due prior to shipment of $399,253.60.                                       
                    Mr. Bradbury goes on to describe the machine as follows           
          (D. ¶3, S.D. ¶3):                                                           
                    The MBCI roll former constructed pursuant                         
                    to the purchase order included a mechanical                       

          evidence relied upon in making the rejection.                               
                                          4
