5. Defendant's salesman represented to Mr. Dowling that Defendant's software was
capable of directing cutting by 5 axis simultaneous action on the automotive part shown to him
by Mr. Dowling.
6. Based on the salesman's representation, Mr. Dowling entered into an agreement with
the salesman to purchase the software known as TekSoft 2 1/2 D Mill System; TekSoft 3D

8, Robert Dowling attended Defendant's school in New Hampshire to learn the system.
At the time he attended the school, he was assured by Defendant's technical people that the
system could perform the work required by Plaintiff.
9. The cutting machine which was to utilize the software was delivered to Mr. Dowling's
shop at 13280 Pine Road, Carlisle, Pennsylvania in May, 2000.
10., The programming was conducted by York Penn Machinery during the summer
months of 2000.
11. By October, 2000, Mr. Dowling and the programmer from York Penn Machinery
experienced problems with the software,
12, In November, Mr. Dowling had conversations with Defendant's representatives
concerning the problems with the software.
13. In November, Defendant conceded that the software was inadequate and offered to
refund the purchase price of the software.
14. Defendant made repeated offers to Mr. Dowling to refund the purchase price,
however the refund was not forthcoming even though the offer of refund was accep1ed.
15. Because of the failure of the software to perform as intended, Robert Dowling has
been unable to work on contracts which would have been forthcoming to Jimmy Means Racing,
Inc.and Plaintiff has therefore suffered monetary damages as a consequence.
