Sorry, I can't find this information as to why various questions were not to be answered. From memory,
tm sure it was because of the sheer scale of the request, and that Fujitsu do not have a list of all update
patches, so a report request would be required at great expense and resource.

Hi Jon
could do to speak to you about this next week

Ata Fujitsti meeting this week Penny did mention the issue that she has highlighted below and in fact Mark has
taken an action away. What Penny said was that she thought that in the West Byfleet case we were asked for similar
information and where told not to provide it but Mark was going to see if he still had an email that related to this?

Anyway [will catch up with you next week. Have a good weekend
Regards

Jane

Jane

We have been working on this request but need clarification from POL on items iii) and vii)-

Details of any firmware and software updates of Horizon between 2005 - 2009 and the reason for those updates

This is a vast area and we would be grateful if you could ascertain precisely what the requirement is.

As you know, I. am on leave from close of play today so I copy in Donna Munro who will be picking this request up in my absence.
Kind regards

Hi Jon .
‘OK. I've read the requirements and spoken to an expert. We do not understand the question and need clarification on:-

The documents relating to the assessment of the pilot testing of Horizon Mark 2 and Horizon Mark 3, the results of those assessments, the losses that
were found within 'the system and details of how those losses.were reconciled or‘otherwise dealt with,

It you are talking about Horizon pilot we believe you will need to-address your question to POL technical experts. ITit's something else, please qualify
I will proceed with identifying which information we will be able to provide and the estimated costs for so doing,

Speak soon

Kind regards

Hi Penny
1am keeping well thank you ~and hope you are also.

1am sorry to bother you again with these information requests but there are still Spmir’s out there who are raising Horizon-integrity issues without exactly
‘specifying which transactions caused the problems, just like the West Byfleet case. However, for the Alderly Edge case, there is a suggestion that a
delivery of.£1,700 worth of stamps to this PO on the 3rd May 2008 was incorrectly recorded by Horizon. I have ordered transaction log data and will
‘examine the transaction but may possibly need Gareth to assist on this one point,

You have everything - point vill was the last request other than the subsequent e-mail that I sent you relating to the hardware information.

Thank you for your continued assistance.

Regards
You Lougenat

Hi Penny

Ihave been asked to assist Post Office® solicitors who are dealing with the above two cases whereby Horizon integrity is being called into question, Both
subpostmasters have been prosecuted but are refusing to repay the audit shortages found during the investigation. The subpostmasters have both
‘employed the same firm of Solicitors who are alleging amongst a whole list of concems raised, that the Horizon system suffers with inherent defects.

Post Office® Ltd has been asked to produce a large amount of information similar to the West Byfleet case. Some of the information requested can be
provided by Post Office® Ltd but some can only be provided by Fujitsu.

Could the following items be provided by Fujitsu for both Post Offices and if there is to be a cost to Post Office® Ltd for this information could an
approximate costing be provided before the data is obtained.

ASTWOOD BANK .

i) Details of Horizon system testing with respect to the ability of the Horizon system to produce information with sufficient clarity to allow a
