Denicd as stated, but admitted that the initial "Proposal trod Contract" that plaintiff
temtcrcd on October 31, 2000, and that defendant accepted on Novcmbcr 1, 2000,
stated: "Payment 30 days at~er billing". See Reply Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. Subsequent deliveries of shale were made pursuant to
written orders from defendant. The initial invoice was on November 6, 2000 as stated on
Plaintiff's Complaint Exhibit A.
14. Denied both as a legal conclusion to which no response is required and as a factual
averment. However, assuming defendant's answer paragraph 14 to be an accurate
statement, it should be noted that defendant had received invoices for delivery of shale
totaling $83,730 as of December 14, 2000, and has paid only $74,172.38, leaving an
unpaid balance of $9,557.62 on which the accumulated simple interest at 6% as of the
date of this reply would be approximately $500, making the total balance even by
defendant's calculations to be over $10,000.
