[1]	Cash flows from (used in) operations for the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries do not include any amounts related to their respective stand-alone income tax liabilities as the Company has not historically cash settled the intercompany balances associated with the push down of such liabilities to the Guarantor Subsidiaries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Parent Company allocated approximately $126 million of tax liabilities to its Guarantor Subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2014, the Parent Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries decided to effect a non-cash settlement of the accumulated income tax receivable and payable balances in the amount of approximately $1.5 billion. Therefore, these transactions are not reflected in the Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows presented above.

Basis of Presentation	'
	1. Basis of Presentation:
	SunGard Data Systems Inc. (“SunGard”) is one of the world’s leading software and technology services companies and has two reportable segments: Financial Systems (“FS”) and Public Sector & Education (“PS&E”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
	SunGard was acquired on August 11, 2005 in a leveraged buy-out (the “LBO”) by a consortium of private equity investment funds associated with Bain Capital Partners, The Blackstone Group, Goldman Sachs & Co., Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., Providence Equity Partners, Silver Lake and TPG (collectively, the “Sponsors”).
	SunGard is a wholly owned subsidiary of SunGard Holdco LLC, which is wholly owned by SunGard Holding Corp., which is wholly owned by SunGard Capital Corp. II (“SCCII”), which is a subsidiary of SunGard Capital Corp. (“SCC”). All four of these companies were formed for the purpose of facilitating the LBO and are collectively referred to as the “Holding Companies.” SCC, SCCII and SunGard are separate reporting companies and, together with their direct and indirect subsidiaries, are collectively referred to as the “Company.” The Holding Companies have no other operations beyond those of their ownership of SunGard.
	On March 31, 2014, SunGard completed the split-off of its Availability Services (“AS”) business to its existing stockholders, including its private equity owners, on a tax-free and pro-rata basis. As part of that transaction, the assets and liabilities of the AS business were contributed to a new subsidiary, and then SunGard transferred all of its ownership interests in that subsidiary to Sungard Availability Services Capital, Inc. (“SpinCo”) in exchange for common stock of SpinCo, approximately $425 million of SpinCo senior notes (“SpinCo Notes”), and $1,005 million of net cash proceeds from the issuance of an AS term loan facility (“SpinCo Term Loan”). Immediately after these transactions, SunGard distributed the common stock of SpinCo through SunGard’s ownership chain ultimately to SCCII, and then all stockholders of preferred stock of SCCII exchanged a portion of their shares of preferred stock for all of the shares of common stock of SpinCo on a pro-rata basis (together, with the transactions described above, the “AS Split-Off”). As a result, on March 31, 2014 the preferred stockholders of SCCII owned 100% of the common stock of SpinCo, a separate, independent company. The distribution of AS’ nets assets in connection with the AS Split-Off was based on the recorded amount of the net assets and did not result in a gain or loss upon disposal in the consolidated financial statements.
	The AS business and two small FS businesses which were sold on January 31, 2014 have been included in our financial results as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
	The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company’s annual financial statements were revised in the Registration Statement on Form S-1/A filed on September 3, 2014. Interim financial reporting does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. The interim financial information is unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current presentation. Refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the reclassification of facilities and information technology-related expenses to more accurately present them within the functional classes of expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013.
	The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been revised to correct an immaterial misclassification of certain income tax receivable balances. Total assets and total liabilities each decreased by $7 million at December 31, 2013.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Recently Adopted
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in Foreign Entity.” This new guidance clarified that when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business, the parent should only release the related cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) into net income if the deconsolidation or derecognition results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets resided. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 on January 1, 2014 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements as the Company has historically accounted for the removal of CTA related to sales of non-U.S. entities consistent with this new guidance.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” to eliminate diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in those instances. This ASU requires that companies net their unrecognized tax benefits against all same-jurisdiction deferred tax assets for net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards that would be used to settle the position with a tax authority to the extent such deferred tax assets are available.  If this criteria does not apply or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax assets for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 on January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	Recently Issued
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” that changes the criteria for reporting a discontinued operation.  According to the new guidance, only disposals of a component that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results is a discontinued operation.  The new guidance also requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of a significant part of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting.  ASU 2014-08 is effective beginning January 1, 2015 with early adoption permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in previously-issued financial statements.  Once adopted, ASU 2014-08 will affect how the Company identifies and presents discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which outlines a comprehensive revenue recognition model and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This new guidance establishes a five step process, which companies must use in order to recognize revenue properly. Those five steps are: (i) identifying contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new ASU will affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. ASU 2014-09 allows for two methods of adoption: (a) “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or (b) “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 is recognized as an adjustment to the fiscal 2017 opening retained earnings balance. The Company is in the process of determining the adoption method as well as the effects the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” which establishes that in connection with the preparation of financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 requires management to consider qualitative and quantitative information about conditions and events known and reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 will be effective for the Company for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Expense Classification	'
	2. Expense Classification:
	Effective January 1, 2014, within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), the Company changed its presentation of facilities and information technology-related expenses that are not directly associated with the delivery of its products and services. Formerly, the Company presented these expenses within sales, marketing and administration expense. The Company’s new method for presenting facilities and information technology-related expenses includes allocating these items to all of our functional areas, which the Company considers a better presentation as it more accurately reflects the actual cost of these functions. The presentation of prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.  There was no impact on total reported costs and expenses for any period as a result of the change.
	The impact of this change within the functional areas, including the impact of discontinued operations, is as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 (in millions):

Intangible Assets and Goodwill	'
	4. Intangible Assets and Goodwill:
	Trade Name
	The trade name intangible asset represents the value of the SunGard trade name and is an indefinite-lived asset not subject to amortization. The Company completes its annual trade name impairment test as of July 1 of each year and more frequently when negative conditions or triggering events arise.
	Interim Impairment Test
	The AS Split-Off triggered an interim impairment test of the carrying value of the SunGard trade name as of March 31, 2014 due to changes in how the trade name is being used following the AS Split-Off. The Company utilized an income approach known as the relief-from-royalty method to determine the fair value of the SunGard trade name.  Under this method, a royalty rate was applied to SunGard’s projected revenues to determine the annual cash savings attributable to ownership of the trade name.  This amount was then tax-effected and discounted to present value to ultimately arrive at the estimated fair value of the trade name.
	The Company developed certain assumptions and estimates related to the calculation of fair value of its trade name. The fair value assumptions and estimates primarily included projections of future revenues, a royalty rate, a tax rate, and a discount rate.  The loss of projected AS revenues due to the AS Split-Off had a significant negative impact on the results of the trade name valuation.  Based on the results of the impairment test, the fair value of the trade name was determined to be lower than its carrying value and resulted in a $339 million impairment of the trade name as of March 31, 2014.
	In addition to future revenue projections, the assumed royalty rate and discount rate are critical assumptions considered in the trade name impairment test. Excluding any changes to future revenue projections or other assumptions, a 50 basis point decrease in the assumed royalty rate would have resulted in an additional impairment of the trade name asset of approximately $133 million (a 100 basis point decrease would have resulted in an additional impairment of approximately $265 million). A 50 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in an additional impairment of the trade name asset of approximately $14 million (a 100 basis point increase would have resulted in an additional impairment of approximately $28 million). Furthermore, to the extent that projected revenues decline in the future, the revenue supporting the trade name will decline, which may result in impairment charges.
	In connection with the AS Split-Off, SunGard and AS agreed to a two-year royalty-free period for AS’ limited use of a derivative of the trade name, after which it will pay a pre-determined royalty rate based on its annual revenue for a specified number of years. As of March 31, 2014, SunGard transferred an $8 million “right-to-use” asset representing the value of AS’ limited right to use the “SUNGARD AVAILABILITY SERVICES” trade name during the royalty-free period.
	Annual Impairment Test
	As of July 1, 2014, the Company completed its annual impairment test and determined that the fair value of the trade name exceeded its carrying value, resulting in no further impairment of the trade name since the interim test performed as of March 31, 2014. From a sensitivity standpoint, a 50 basis point decrease in the assumed royalty rate would have resulted in an impairment of the trade name asset of approximately $123 million. A 50 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in an impairment of the trade name asset of approximately $24 million (100 basis point increase would result in an impairment of approximately $59 million). Furthermore, to the extent that additional businesses are sold, split-off or otherwise divested in the future, or revenues related to continuing operations decline, the revenue supporting the trade name will decline, which may result in further impairment charges.
	The following table summarizes changes in the value of the trade name for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (in millions):
		Trade name, net
	Balance at December 31, 2013	$	1,019
	Transfer limited "right to use" trade name asset to AS		(8	)
	Trade name impairment		(339	)
	Balance at September 30, 2014	$	672
	Goodwill
	Annual Impairment Test
	The Company performs a goodwill impairment test annually and more frequently when negative conditions or triggering events arise. The Company completes its annual goodwill impairment test as of July 1 for each of its reporting units. The Company has the option of performing an assessment of certain qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value (referred to as a “step zero” test) or proceeding directly to a quantitative analysis (referred to as a “step one” test).
	Since each of the reporting units had a fair value in excess of 20% of its respective carrying value as of the most recent step-one test, which was either as of July 1, 2012 or July 1, 2013, and no events were noted that would significantly decrease the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company elected to apply the qualitative assessment under the step zero testing approach for all reporting units as of July 1, 2014. Based on the results of these tests, no step one tests were determined to be necessary.
	When performing a qualitative test, the Company assesses numerous factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units are less than their respective carrying values. Examples of qualitative factors that management assesses include the Company’s financial performance, market and competitive factors in the software and services industry, the amount of excess fair value over the carrying value of each reporting unit evident in prior years and other events specific to the Company’s reporting units.
	Management considered factors that would impact the reporting unit fair values as estimated by the market and income approaches used in the last step one test. Management reviewed current projections of cash flows and compared these current projections to the projections included in the most recent step one test, and considered the fact that no new significant competitors entered the marketplace in the industry and that consumer demand for the industry’s products remains relatively constant, if not growing slightly. Also, economic factors over the past year (or two years in the case of units that were last tested quantitatively as of July 1, 2012) did not significantly affect the discount rates used for the valuation of these reporting units. Management concluded that events occurring since the last step one test did not have a significant impact on the fair value of each of these reporting units. Therefore, management determined that it was not necessary to perform a quantitative (step one) goodwill impairment test for these reporting units as the fair value of each reporting unit appeared to exceed its respective carrying value.
	The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (in millions) and does not include any amounts related to the AS business, which is reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented:

Debt and Derivatives	'
	6. Debt and Derivatives:
	On January 15, 2014, SunGard paid $250 million to retire the Senior Secured Notes due 2014. On January 31, 2014, SunGard removed AS as a participant in its secured accounts receivable facility and repaid $60 million of the term loan.
	On February 7, 2014, SunGard amended and restated its senior secured credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) (as amended and restated, the “Seventh Amendment”). Most notably, the Seventh Amendment:
	·	amended certain covenants and other provisions of the Credit Agreement in order to permit the AS Split-Off, including (i) the ability to effect the AS Split-Off without requiring an initial public offering, (ii) permitting AS to incur up to $1.5 billion of indebtedness in connection with the AS Split-Off, and (iii) allowing SunGard’s total secured leverage ratio (less cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million), after giving pro forma effect to the AS Split-Off, to increase no more than 0.60x of Adjusted EBITDA at the time of the AS Split-Off; and
	·	modified certain covenants and other provisions in order to, among other things (i) modify the financial maintenance covenant included therein, and (ii) permit the Company and its affiliates to repurchase term loans.
	On February 28, 2014, SunGard repaid at maturity the remaining $7 million Tranche A term loan under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.
	On March 31, 2014, SunGard used the $1,005 million net cash proceeds from the issuance of the SpinCo Term Loan to repay approximately $27 million of its tranche C term loan, $713 million of its tranche D term loan and $265 million of its tranche E term loan. SunGard also exchanged the SpinCo senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $425 million for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $389 million of existing SunGard 7 3/8% senior notes due 2018 (“SunGard Notes”) which were then retired. The retirement of the SunGard Notes resulted in a $36 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2014. In addition, SunGard wrote-off approximately $25 million of capitalized deferred financing fees resulting from the repayment or retirement of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	On May 14, 2014 SunGard amended and restated its secured accounts receivables facility in order to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the receivables facility from December 19, 2017 to May 14, 2019; and (ii) reduce the applicable margin on the advances under the facility from 3.50% for LIBOR advances and 2.50% for base rate advances to 3.00% and 2.00%, respectively.
	On September 30, 2014, the Company had $591 million of available borrowing capacity and $9 million of outstanding letters of credit under its $600 million revolving credit facility.
	SunGard’s ability to make dividend payments to its equity holders is governed by the covenants in its debt documents. Without obtaining an amendment to those documents, SunGard’s covenants currently limit such a dividend to a total of $200 million.

	SunGard uses interest rate swaps to manage the amount of its floating rate debt in order to reduce its exposure to variable rate interest payments associated with the Credit Agreement. Each swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge. SunGard pays a stream of fixed interest payments for the term of the swap, and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on LIBOR. At September 30, 2014, one-month and three-month LIBOR were 0.16% and 0.24%, respectively. The net receipt or payment from the interest rate swap agreements is included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as interest expense.  The interest rates in the components of the debt table above reflect the impact of the swaps.
	A summary of the Company’s interest rate swaps at September 30, 2014 follows (in millions):
	Inception		Maturity		Notional Amount    (in millions)			Weighted-average Interest rate paid		Interest rate received (LIBOR)
	August-September 2012		Feb-17		$	400			0.69%	1-Month

	Feb-14		Mar-20			300			2.27%	3-Month
	Total				$	900			1.52%
	The fair values of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedging instruments included in other assets are $4 million and $3 million at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, respectively.
	The Company has no ineffectiveness related to its swap agreements. The Company expects to reclassify in the next twelve months approximately $8 million from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings related to the Company’s interest rate swaps based on the borrowing rates at September 30, 2014.

	A Level 1 fair value measure is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. A Level 2 fair value measure is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable. A Level 3 fair value measure is based upon inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).
	Money market funds are recognized and measured at fair value in the Company’s financial statements. Fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are calculated using a discounted cash flow model using observable applicable market swap rates and assumptions and are compared to market valuations obtained from brokers.
	The Company uses currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in costs caused by variations in Indian Rupee (“INR”) exchange rates. These INR forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of these currency forward contracts is determined using currency exchange market rates, obtained from reliable, independent, third party banks, at the balance sheet date. The fair value of forward contracts is subject to changes in currency exchange rates. The Company has no ineffectiveness related to its use of currency forward contracts in connection with INR cash flow hedges. The Company expects to reclassify in the next twelve months approximately $3 million from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings related to the Company’s INR forward contracts.
	Certain assets and liabilities are measured on a non-recurring basis. During the first quarter of 2014, the trade name (a level 3 non-recurring fair value measure) was written down to a fair value of $672 million due to the recognition of a $339 million impairment charge, which was the result of the AS Split-Off (see Note 4).
	The fair value of the trade name is categorized as Level 3, a fair value measurement using significant unobservable inputs, and is estimated by discounted cash flows based on projected future revenues. This requires the use of various assumptions including projections of future cash flows, perpetual growth rates and discount rates.
	The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt, including the current portion and excluding the interest rate swaps, as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 (in millions):
		31-Dec-13				30-Sep-14
		Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
		Value		Value		Value		Value
	Floating rate debt	$	3,530	$	3,548	$	2,458	$	2,433
	Fixed rate debt		2,862		3,024		2,213		2,242
	The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximate carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. The fair value of the Company’s floating rate and fixed rate long-term debt (Level 2) is determined using actual market quotes and benchmark yields received from independent vendors.

Equity	'
	8. Equity:
	On March 31, 2014, SunGard completed the AS Split-Off.  The following rollforwards of stockholders’ equity for SCC, SCCII, and SunGard and non-controlling interest for SCC are provided to illustrate the impact of the AS Split-Off on stockholders’ equity and non-controlling interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	On March 31, 2014, SCCII exchanged all of the common stock of SpinCo for 2,358,065 shares of its preferred stock held by its stockholders, which was recorded as treasury stock at the book value of the investment SCCII had in SpinCo.
	Stock-based Compensation
	As a result of the AS Split-Off, the proportion of preferred stock of SCCII included in each “Unit” of equity in the Parent Companies changed from 0.05 shares to 0.038 shares, while there was no change in the proportion of the Class A or Class L common stock of SCC. Accordingly, post-split, a “Unit” consists of 1.3 shares of Class A common stock and 0.1444 shares of Class L common stock of SCC and 0.038 shares of preferred stock of SCCII.
	In conjunction with the AS Split-Off, SCC and SCCII amended all outstanding share-based awards to comply with the existing anti-dilution provisions in the SunGard 2005 Management Incentive Plan as amended (the “Plan”), and respective share-based award agreements. The anti-dilution provisions require modification of the share-based awards in certain circumstances in order to prevent enlargement or dilution of benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.
	To comply with the requirement of the Plan, all outstanding options and other long-term incentive equity awards were modified to (i) maintain the ratio of the exercise or base price to the fair market value of the stock prior to the modification and (ii) increase the quantity granted to maintain the intrinsic value of the awards based on the new Unit price and the new SpinCo share price, as applicable.  In addition, all outstanding share-based awards were modified such that employees remaining with SunGard would hold awards in SunGard only and employees of AS would hold awards in SpinCo only. In order to achieve this result, all outstanding awards held by employees of AS were converted post-split into SpinCo Awards. There was no incremental stock-based compensation expense as a result of these modifications.
	In June 2014, in addition to granting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) subject to time-based vesting, the Company granted to certain employees RSUs with market-based vesting dependent upon the performance of the Company’s Unit price in relation to pre-determined Unit price thresholds (“Market-based”). Each threshold signifies a level of vesting with interpolation between levels. Vesting is subject to continued employment through June 1, 2017, the measurement date. The Company determined the fair value of the Market-based RSUs using a Monte Carlo valuation model and will record the aggregate expense of $26 million over the three-year service period on a straight-line basis regardless of vesting, subject to continued employment, as required by GAAP.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Income Taxes	'
	9. Income Taxes:
	The effective income tax rates for the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were 51% and 25%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate reflects changes in the mix of income or losses in jurisdictions with a wide range of tax rates, permanent differences between GAAP and local tax laws, and the timing of recording discrete items. The tax rate for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 reflects a decrease in the expected full year effective tax rate due primarily to a change in the mix of income.
	The effective income tax rates for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were 22% and 40%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate reflects changes in the mix of income or losses in jurisdictions with a wide range of tax rates, permanent differences between GAAP and local tax laws, and the timing of recording discrete items.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the benefit for income taxes includes a benefit of $138 million recorded as a discrete item related to the impairment of the trade name,  an expense of $48 million recorded as a discrete item due to changes in certain state deferred tax rates, primarily driven by the change in the legal entity ownership of the trade name caused by the AS Split-Off, and an expense of $9 million recorded as a discrete item to increase the valuation allowance on state net operating losses driven by the change in management’s judgment of their realizability due to the AS Split-Off.  In evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Changes in the mix of income or the total amount of income for 2014 may significantly impact the estimated effective income tax rate for the year.
	In connection with the AS Split-Off, a Tax Sharing and Disaffiliation Agreement (the “Agreement”) was entered into on March 31, 2014 by the Company and SpinCo.  Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties allocated responsibility for U.S. federal, state and local and foreign income and other taxes relating to taxable periods before and after the AS Split-Off, and provided for computation and apportionment of tax liabilities and tax benefits between the parties.  SpinCo is generally responsible for all taxes attributable to the AS business for periods subsequent to the AS Split-Off and non-income related taxes attributable to the AS business for any taxable period before and after the date of the AS Split-Off.  The Company retains responsibility for U.S. federal, state and local and foreign income taxes for periods ending on or before the date of the AS Split-Off. The Company recorded a liability of $6 million in other accrued expenses as of September 30, 2014, which is an estimate of the amount owed to AS for income tax returns not yet filed for the periods ending on or before the date of the AS Split-Off.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Information	'
	10. Segment Information:
	Following the AS Split-Off, the Company re-evaluated its reportable segments in accordance with ASC 280 and determined that the Company has two reportable segments: FS and PS&E. The disclosures below only reflect the segment results of continuing operations for the periods presented.
	The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as operating income before the following items:
	·	depreciation;
	·	amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets;
	·	trade name and goodwill impairments;
	·	severance and facility closure charges;
	·	stock compensation;
	·	management fees; and
	·	certain other costs.
	While these charges may be recurring, management excludes them in order to better analyze the segment results and evaluate the segment performance. This analysis is used extensively by management and is also used to communicate the segment results to the Company’s board of directors. In addition, management reviews Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis, especially when comparing to the prior year results. While Adjusted EBITDA is useful for analysis purposes, it should not be considered as an alternative to the Company’s reported GAAP results. Also, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is similar, but not identical, to adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Credit Agreement for purposes of SunGard’s debt covenants. The operating results apply to each of SCC, SCCII and SunGard unless otherwise noted. In each of the tables below, we present the percent change based on actual, unrounded results.
	The operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 for each segment follow (in millions):

	Sponsor Transactions
	In accordance with the Management Agreement between the Company and affiliates of the Sponsors, the Company recorded $2 and $3 million of management fees in sales, marketing and administration expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2013 the Company recorded approximately $1 million of management fees in income (loss) from discontinued operations. The Company recorded $5 million and $6 million of management fees in sales, marketing and administration expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the Company recorded approximately $3 million of management fees in income (loss) from discontinued operations. At December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, the Company had accrued management fees due to Sponsors included in other accrued expenses of $4 million and $2 million, respectively.
	In March 2014, in connection with the AS Split-Off, the Company and the Sponsors amended the management agreement to increase the management fee effective as of April 1, 2014 from 1% of adjusted EBITDA to 1.1% of adjusted EBITDA per quarter for five of seven of the Company’s Sponsors and fixed payments of $50,000 per quarter for each of the two remaining Sponsors.
	In addition to the amounts above, on March 31, 2014 the Company recorded $15 million of management fees, which is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations, as provided in the Management Agreement for services rendered in connection with the issuance of the $1.025 billion SpinCo Term Loan and $425 million of SpinCo Notes. Also during the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded $1 million of management fees which is included in income (loss) from discontinued operations resulting from the sale of two FS businesses.
	In addition to management fees, one of our Sponsors, Goldman Sachs & Co. and/or its respective affiliates, received fees of approximately $1 million and less than $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, respectively, in connection with amendments of SunGard’s Credit Agreement.
	The Company’s Sponsors and/or their respective affiliates, who may not be related parties, have from time to time entered into, and may continue to enter into, arrangements with SunGard to use its products and services, or for SunGard to use the Sponsors affiliates’ products and services, in the ordinary course of business, which often result in revenues or costs to SunGard in excess of $120,000 annually. These transactions are entered into at arms-length terms. In the aggregate, the arrangements are not material to SunGard’s results of operations.
	AS Transactions
	In connection with the AS Split-Off, the following agreements, among others, were entered into on March 31, 2014:
	(i) a Trademark License Agreement (the “Trademark License Agreement”) between a wholly-owned subsidiary of SunGard that owns the trademark “SunGard” and AS.  The Trademark License Agreement sets forth the terms under which AS and its affiliates are permitted to use the mark “SUNGARD AVAILABILITY SERVICES.” During the first two years following the AS Split-Off, the use of the licensed mark is royalty free.  In years 3 through 5, AS will pay a royalty payment of 0.30% of their worldwide revenue, subject to certain exceptions.  In years 6 and 7, the royalty will be reduced to 0.15% and 0.075%, respectively. Following year 7, AS will have a perpetual, royalty-free license to use the mark going forward assuming they maintain compliance with the Trademark License Agreement;
	(ii) a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) whereby SunGard agreed to provide certain transitional and administrative support services, including employee benefits services, to AS and AS agreed to provide transitional and administrative support services to SunGard generally for up to twelve months;
	(iii) a term sheet to negotiate amendments to the Global Master Services Agreement (“GMSA”) to replace existing agreements under which AS provides certain availability services, managed services, and recovery services to SunGard.  Broadly, SunGard and AS have agreed to amend the GMSA to reflect terms agreed to by the parties including a provision that from the AS Split-Off to a period ending March 31, 2016, SunGard would spend an agreed to minimum under the GMSA. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred expenses of $8 million for services provided under the GMSA, of which approximately $4 million, $2 million and $2 million were included in cost of sales and direct operating expenses; sales, marketing and administration expenses; and development and maintenance expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred expenses of $17 million for services provided under the GMSA, of which approximately $8 million, $5 million and $4 million were included in cost of sales and direct operating expenses; sales, marketing and administration expenses; and development and maintenance expenses, respectively, in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). At September 30, 2014, the Company had recorded approximately $3 million of accounts receivable, $2 million of accounts payable, and a $2 million prepaid maintenance contract from AS under the GMSA; and
	(iv) a Tax Sharing and Disaffiliation Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and SpinCo. Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties allocated responsibility for U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income and other taxes relating to taxable periods before and after the AS Split-Off, and provided for computation and apportionment of tax liabilities and tax benefits between the parties. AS is generally responsible for all taxes attributable to the AS business for periods subsequent to the AS Split-Off and non-income related taxes attributable to the AS business for any taxable period before and after the date of the AS Split-Off. The Company retains responsibility for U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes for periods ending on or before the date of the AS Split-Off.

	13. Commitments and Contingencies:
	The Company is presently a party to certain lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, none of its current legal proceedings are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s business or financial results. The Company’s customer contracts generally include typical indemnification of customers, primarily for intellectual property infringement claims. Liabilities in connection with such obligations have not been material.
	The Company has had patent infringement lawsuits filed against it or certain of its customers claiming that certain of its products infringe the intellectual property rights of others. Adverse results in these lawsuits may include awards of substantial monetary damages, costly royalty or licensing agreements, or limitations on the Company’s ability to offer certain features, functionalities, products, or services, and may also cause the Company to change its business practices, and require development of non-infringing products or technologies, which could result in a loss of revenues and otherwise harm the Company’s business. Also, certain agreements with previously owned businesses of the Company require indemnification to the new owners for certain matters as part of the sale of those businesses.
	The Company evaluates, on a regular basis, developments in its legal matters. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At September 30, 2014, the Company has not accrued for any outstanding patent infringement, indemnification or other legal matters.
	In its outstanding legal matters for which it has not made an accrual, but for which it is reasonably possible that a loss may occur, the Company is unable to estimate a range of loss due to various reasons, including, among others: (1) that the proceedings are in early stages, (2) that there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals, motions, or settlements, (3) that there are significant factual issues to be resolved, and (4) that there are novel legal issues presented. Such legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. Based on current knowledge, the Company believes that the final outcome of the matters discussed above will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. While the Company intends to vigorously defend these matters, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters, there exists the possibility of adverse outcomes, and the final outcome of a particular matter could have a material adverse effect on results of operations or cash flows in a particular period.
	The State of Delaware, Department of Finance, Division of Revenue (Unclaimed Property) on behalf of itself and nine other states is currently examining the books and records of certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company to determine compliance with the unclaimed property laws. The scope of its examination is for periods dating back to 1981. The potential exposure related to the examination is not currently determinable.

Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements	'
	14. Supplemental Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements:
	SunGard’s senior unsecured notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis and the senior subordinated notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all wholly owned, domestic subsidiaries of SunGard (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by SunGard. None of the other subsidiaries of SunGard, either direct or indirect, nor any of the Holding Companies, guarantee the senior notes and senior subordinated notes (“Non-Guarantors”). The Guarantors and SunGard Holdco LLC also unconditionally guarantee the senior secured credit facilities. The Guarantors are subject to release under certain circumstances as described below.
	The indentures evidencing the guarantees provide for a Guarantor to be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from its guarantee obligations in certain circumstances, including upon the earliest to occur of:
	—	The sale, exchange or transfer of the subsidiary’s capital stock or all or substantially all of its assets;
	—	Designation of the Guarantor as an “unrestricted subsidiary” for purposes of the indenture covenants;
	—	Release or discharge of the Guarantor’s guarantee of certain other indebtedness; or
	—	Legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the indenture obligations when provision has been made for them to be fully satisfied.
	As a result of the AS Split-Off, all U.S. subsidiaries of AS were removed as guarantors as of March 31, 2014.
	The following tables present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of SunGard (referred to as “Parent Company” for purposes of this note only), the Guarantor subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor subsidiaries and Eliminations as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2014, to arrive at the information for SunGard on a consolidated basis. SCC and SCCII are neither parties to nor guarantors of the debt issued as described in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2013.

	(a)	This balance is primarily comprised of a receivable from the borrower under the secured accounts receivable facility, which is a non-Guarantor subsidiary, resulting from the normal, recurring sale of accounts receivable under the receivables facility. In a liquidation, the first $200 million (plus interest) of collections of accounts receivable sold to this subsidiary are due to the receivables facility lender. The remaining balance would be available for collection for the benefit of the Guarantors.
	(b)	The Company pushes down tax liabilities associated with the consolidated and combined filings in U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions from the Parent Company to its Guarantor Subsidiaries. As these intercompany balances have not been historically settled, this entry eliminates the accumulated Parent Company income tax receivable balance with Guarantor Subsidiaries’ income tax liability balance.
	(c)	The Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet for the Guarantor Subsidiaries for December 31, 2013 has been revised to present investment in subsidiaries related to discontinued operations within the investment in subsidiary caption. The portion of the Guarantor’s investment in subsidiary which related to discontinued operations had previously been presented separately in the assets of discontinued operations caption. While these revisions have no impact on the previously reported total assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, they resulted in the following changes to previously reported amounts. For the Guarantor Subsidiaries, assets of discontinued operations changed from $1,810 million to $1,719 million; total current assets changed from $5,330 million to $5,239 million; and investment in subsidiaries changed from $1,990 million to $2,081 million. These revisions had no impact on the consolidated results of the Company and were not material to the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet for any period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	Recently Adopted
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in Foreign Entity.” This new guidance clarified that when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business, the parent should only release the related cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) into net income if the deconsolidation or derecognition results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets resided. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 on January 1, 2014 did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements as the Company has historically accounted for the removal of CTA related to sales of non-U.S. entities consistent with this new guidance.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” to eliminate diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in those instances. This ASU requires that companies net their unrecognized tax benefits against all same-jurisdiction deferred tax assets for net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards that would be used to settle the position with a tax authority to the extent such deferred tax assets are available.  If this criteria does not apply or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax assets for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 on January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	Recently Issued
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” that changes the criteria for reporting a discontinued operation.  According to the new guidance, only disposals of a component that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results is a discontinued operation.  The new guidance also requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of a significant part of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting.  ASU 2014-08 is effective beginning January 1, 2015 with early adoption permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in previously-issued financial statements.  Once adopted, ASU 2014-08 will affect how the Company identifies and presents discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which outlines a comprehensive revenue recognition model and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This new guidance establishes a five step process, which companies must use in order to recognize revenue properly. Those five steps are: (i) identifying contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The new ASU will affect any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. ASU 2014-09 allows for two methods of adoption: (a) “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or (b) “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 is recognized as an adjustment to the fiscal 2017 opening retained earnings balance. The Company is in the process of determining the adoption method as well as the effects the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” which establishes that in connection with the preparation of financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 requires management to consider qualitative and quantitative information about conditions and events known and reasonably knowable at the date the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 will be effective for the Company for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

	(a)	This balance is primarily comprised of a receivable from the borrower under the secured accounts receivable facility, which is a non-Guarantor subsidiary, resulting from the normal, recurring sale of accounts receivable under the receivables facility. In a liquidation, the first $200 million (plus interest) of collections of accounts receivable sold to this subsidiary are due to the receivables facility lender. The remaining balance would be available for collection for the benefit of the Guarantors.
	(b)	The Company pushes down tax liabilities associated with the consolidated and combined filings in U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions from the Parent Company to its Guarantor Subsidiaries. As these intercompany balances have not been historically settled, this entry eliminates the accumulated Parent Company income tax receivable balance with Guarantor Subsidiaries’ income tax liability balance.
	(c)	The Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet for the Guarantor Subsidiaries for December 31, 2013 has been revised to present investment in subsidiaries related to discontinued operations within the investment in subsidiary caption. The portion of the Guarantor’s investment in subsidiary which related to discontinued operations had previously been presented separately in the assets of discontinued operations caption. While these revisions have no impact on the previously reported total assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, they resulted in the following changes to previously reported amounts. For the Guarantor Subsidiaries, assets of discontinued operations changed from $1,810 million to $1,719 million; total current assets changed from $5,330 million to $5,239 million; and investment in subsidiaries changed from $1,990 million to $2,081 million. These revisions had no impact on the consolidated results of the Company and were not material to the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet for any period.

[1]	The Company pushed down tax liabilities associated with the consolidated and combined filings in U.S. federal, state, and local jurisdictions. During the first quarter of 2014, the Parent Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries decided to effect a non-cash settlement of the accumulated income tax receivable and payable balances in the amount of approximately $1.5 billion.
[2]	The Company pushes down tax liabilities associated with the consolidated and combined filings in U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions from the Parent Company to its Guarantor Subsidiaries. As these intercompany balances have not been historically settled, this entry eliminates the accumulated Parent Company income tax receivable balance with Guarantor Subsidiariesb income tax liability balance.
[3]	The Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet for the Guarantor Subsidiaries for December 31, 2013 has been revised to present investment in subsidiaries related to discontinued operations within the investment in subsidiary caption. The portion of the Guarantorbs investment in subsidiary which related to discontinued operations had previously been presented separately in the assets of discontinued operations caption. While these revisions have no impact on the previously reported total assets of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, they resulted in the following changes to previously reported amounts. For the Guarantor Subsidiaries, assets of discontinued operations changed from $1,810 million to $1,719 million; total current assets changed from $5,330 million to $5,239 million; and investment in subsidiaries changed from $1,990 million to $2,081 million. These revisions had no impact on the consolidated results of the Company and were not material to the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet for any period.
[4]	This balance is primarily comprised of a receivable from the borrower under the secured accounts receivable facility, which is a non-Guarantor subsidiary, resulting from the normal, recurring sale of accounts receivable under the receivables facility. In a liquidation, the first $140 million (plus interest) of collections of accounts receivable sold to this subsidiary are due to the receivables facility lender. The remaining balance would be available for collection for the benefit of the Guarantors.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Parent Company allocated approximately $126 million of tax liabilities to its Guarantor Subsidiaries. During the first quarter of 2014, the Parent Company and the Guarantor Subsidiaries decided to effect a non-cash settlement of the accumulated income tax receivable and payable balances in the amount of approximately $1.5 billion.
