Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'	'
	1. Basis of Presentation:
	SunGard Data Systems Inc. (“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”).	1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
	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.” SunGard, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, is 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 its previously announced 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 a result, 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, 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 shareholders 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. As a result, the preferred shareholders of SCCII own 100% of the common stock of SpinCo, which is a separate, independent company. The distribution of AS’ net assets in connection with the 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.	SunGard Data Systems Inc. (“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”).
	The AS business, as well as two small businesses within the Financial Systems (“FS”) segment which were sold on January 31, 2014, have been included in our financial results as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
	SunGard is one of the world’s leading software and technology services companies and has two reportable segments: 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 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”). SCC and SCCII are collectively referred to as the “Parent Companies.” All four of these companies were formed in 2005 for the purpose of facilitating the LBO and are collectively referred to as the “Holding Companies.” SunGard, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, is collectively referred to as the “Company.” The Holding Companies have no other operations beyond those of their ownership of SunGard.
	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. 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.
	As discussed in Note 2, the presentation of certain prior-year amounts has been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.	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 a result, 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 shareholders 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. As a result, the preferred shareholders of SCCII own 100% of the common stock of SpinCo, which is a separate, independent company. The distribution of AS’ net assets in connection with the 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 has been included in discontinued operations for all periods presented.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements	SunGard is one of the world’s leading software and technology services companies and has two 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.
	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 our consolidated financial statements as we have historically accounted for the removal of CTA related to sales of non-U.S. entities consistent with this new guidance.	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 years ended December 31, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
	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	The Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2013 have been revised to correct an immaterial misclassification of certain income tax receivable balances. Total assets and total liabilities each decreased by $6 million and $7 million at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
	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. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2015 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
		Refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the revision to correct an immaterial misclassification related to discontinued operations among current and non-current liabilities as of December 31, 2012.
		Refer to Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the revision to correct immaterial errors in the presentation of the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Schedule of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
		Estimates
		The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make many estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. The Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and revises them when necessary. Actual results may differ from the original or revised estimates.
		Revenue Recognition
		The Company generates revenue from the following sources: (1) services revenue, which includes revenue from processing services, software maintenance and support, software rentals, managed services, professional services and broker/dealer fees; and, (2) software license fees, which result from contracts that permit the customer to use a SunGard product at the customer’s site.
		The following criteria must be met in determining whether revenue may be recorded: persuasive evidence of a contract exists; software has been delivered and/or services have been provided; the price is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured.
		Services revenue is recorded as the services are provided based on the relative fair value of each element. FS managed services revenue includes monthly fees, which may include a fixed minimum fee and/or variable fees based on a measure of volume or activity, such as the number of accounts, trades or transactions, users or the number of hours of service. Software rentals combine the license and maintenance services into a bundled element, and the fee is recognized ratably over the corresponding services period when the customer has the right to use the software product and receive maintenance and support services.
		For fixed-fee professional services contracts, services revenue is recorded based upon proportional performance, measured by the actual number of hours incurred divided by the total estimated number of hours for the project. Changes in the estimated costs or hours to complete the contract, and losses, if any, are reflected in the period during which the change or loss becomes known. The Company also provides professional services on a time and materials basis, recognized monthly based upon hours incurred to date. In all cases, contract milestones, project risk profile and refund provisions are taken into consideration.
		License fees result from contracts that permit the customer to use a SunGard software product at the customer’s designated site. Generally, these contracts are multiple-element arrangements since they usually provide for professional services and ongoing software maintenance. In these instances, license fees are recognized upon the signing of the contract and delivery of the software if the license fee and fees for other elements within the arrangement are fixed or determinable, collection is probable, and there is sufficient vendor specific evidence of the fair value of each undelivered element. When there are significant program modifications or customization, installation, systems integration or related services, the professional services and license revenue are combined in accordance with contract accounting guidance and recorded based upon proportional performance, measured in the manner described above. License revenue is recorded as each installment becomes due if customer payments are extended beyond normal billing terms, or at acceptance when there is significant acceptance, technology or service risk. Revenue also is recorded over the longest service period in those instances where the software is bundled together with post-delivery services and there is not sufficient evidence of the fair value of each undelivered service element.
		With respect to software-related multiple element arrangements, sufficient evidence of fair value is defined as vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). VSOE of the fair value for each element within an arrangement is based on either historical stand-alone sales of the element to third parties or stated renewal rates within the contract. If there is no VSOE of the fair value of the delivered element (which is usually the software since the license is rarely if ever sold separately), but there is VSOE of the fair value of each of the undelivered elements (typically maintenance and professional services), then the residual method is used to determine the portion of the arrangement fee allocated to the delivered element. The revenue for each of the undelivered elements is set at the fair value of those elements using VSOE of the price paid when each of the undelivered elements is sold separately. The revenue remaining after allocation to the undelivered elements (i.e., the residual) is allocated to the delivered element.
		The Company’s maintenance and support offerings entitle the customers to receive product upgrades and enhancements on a “when and if available” basis along with technical support, and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance and support arrangement. VSOE supporting the fair value of maintenance and support is based on the stated (optional) renewal rates contained in the initial arrangement. VSOE for the maintenance element is dependent upon the software product and the annual maintenance fee is typically 18% to 20% of the software license fee. VSOE supporting the fair value of professional services is based on the standard daily rates charged when those services are sold separately, represented by a substantial portion of transactions falling within a reasonably tight pricing range.
		In some software-related multiple-element arrangements, the maintenance or professional services rates are discounted. In these cases, a portion of the software license fee is deferred and recognized as the maintenance or professional services are performed based on VSOE of the services.
		From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements with customers that purchase non-software related services at the same time as, or within close proximity to, purchasing software (non-software multiple-element arrangements). Each element within a non-software multiple-element arrangement is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting provided the delivered services have value to the customer on a standalone basis, and, for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relative to the delivered services, delivery or performance of the undelivered service is considered probable and is substantially controlled by the Company. Where the criteria for a separate unit of accounting are not met, the deliverable is combined with the undelivered element(s) and treated as a single unit of accounting for the purposes of allocation of the arrangement consideration and revenue recognition.
		For non-software multiple-element arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on a selling price hierarchy at the arrangement inception. The selling price for each element is based upon the following selling price hierarchy: VSOE, then third-party evidence (“TPE”), then best estimated selling price (“BESP”). The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each separate unit of accounting for each of the non-software deliverables using the relative selling prices of each unit based on this hierarchy. The Company limits the amount of revenue recognized for delivered elements to an amount that is not contingent upon future delivery of additional products or services or meeting of any specified performance conditions.
		To determine the selling price in non-software multiple-element arrangements, the Company establishes VSOE of the selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately. Where VSOE does not exist, TPE is established by evaluating similar competitor products or services in standalone arrangements with similarly situated customers. If the Company is unable to determine the selling price because VSOE or TPE doesn’t exist, it determines BESP for the purposes of allocating the arrangement consideration. BESP can be determined by considering pricing practices, margin objectives, contractually stated prices, competitive/market conditions and geographies.
		Unbilled receivables are created when services are performed or software is delivered and revenue is recognized in advance of billings. Deferred revenue is created when billing occurs in advance of performing services or when all revenue recognition criteria have not been met.
		Cash and Cash Equivalents
		Cash and cash equivalents consist of investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less.
		Concentration of Credit Risk
		Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company sells a significant portion of its products and services to the financial services industry and could be affected by the overall condition of that industry. The Company believes that any credit risk associated with accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by the relatively large number of customer accounts and reasonably short collection terms. Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value, which approximates fair value. By policy, the Company places its available cash and short-term investments with institutions of high credit-quality and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.
		Foreign Currency Translation
		The functional currency of each of the Company’s foreign operations is generally the local currency of the country in which the operation is located. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Increases and decreases in net assets resulting from currency translation are reflected in stockholder’s equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
		Legal Fees
		Prior to December 31, 2012, legal fees expected to be incurred defending the Company in connection with an asserted claim were accrued when they were probable of being incurred and could be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2012, the Company changed its policy to expense all legal costs in connection with an asserted claim as they are incurred as this policy was determined to be preferable.
		Changes in accounting policies must be applied retrospectively in the financial statements. Retrospective application requires an entity to implement the change in accounting policy as though it had always been applied. However, the Company has concluded that the impact of applying the change on a retrospective basis was not material to the Company’s financial statements. The impact of the change was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the new policy has been applied prospectively effective December 31, 2012.
		Property and Equipment
		Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (three to eight years for equipment and ten to 40 years for buildings and improvements). Leasehold improvements are amortized ratably over their remaining lease term or useful life, if shorter. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment in continuing operations was $60 million in 2011, $62 million in 2012 and $63 million in 2013.
		Software Products
		Software development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of design and development costs of new products, and significant enhancements to existing products incurred before the establishment of technological feasibility. Costs incurred subsequent to technological feasibility of new and enhanced products, costs incurred to purchase or to create and implement internal-use software, and software obtained through business acquisitions are capitalized. Such costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related products, generally three to twelve years (average life is nine years), using the straight-line method.
		Amortization of all software products in continuing operations, including software acquired in business acquisitions and software purchased for internal use, totaled $218 million in 2011, $184 million in 2012 and $160 million in 2013. Software development expense in continuing operations was $224 million in 2011, $219 million in 2012 and $196 million in 2013. Capitalized development costs in continuing operations were $10 million in 2011, $22 million in 2012 and $41 million in 2013.
		Purchase Accounting and Intangible Assets
		Purchase accounting requires that all assets and liabilities be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, including identifiable intangible assets separate from goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets include customer base (which includes customer contracts and relationships), software, trade name and non-compete agreements. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired.
		The estimated fair values and useful lives of identifiable intangible assets are based on many factors, including estimates and assumptions of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, the nature of the business acquired, the specific characteristics of the identified intangible assets, and our historical experience and that of the acquired business. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including product demand, market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions and competition. In connection with determination of fair values, the Company may engage independent appraisal firms to assist with the valuation of intangible and certain tangible assets acquired and certain assumed obligations.
		Customer Base Intangible Assets
		Customer base intangible assets represent customer contracts and relationships obtained as a result of the LBO and as part of businesses acquired since the LBO and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to 18 years (average life is 14 years). Amortization of all customer base intangible assets in continuing operations totaled $68 million in 2011, $63 million in 2012 and $61 million in 2013.
		Other Assets
		Other assets consist primarily of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s outstanding debt (see Note 5), noncompetition agreements, long-term accounts receivables and long-term investments. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the related debt. Noncompetition agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over their stated terms, ranging from three to five years.
		Impairment Reviews for Long-Lived Assets
		The Company periodically reviews carrying values and useful lives of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Factors that could indicate an impairment include significant underperformance of the asset as compared to historical or projected future operating results, or significant negative industry or economic trends. When the Company determines that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, the related estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset are compared to the carrying value of the asset. If the sum of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value, which the Company estimates based on discounted expected future cash flows. In determining whether an asset is impaired, the Company makes assumptions regarding recoverability of costs, estimated future cash flows from the asset, intended use of the asset and other relevant factors. If these estimates or their related assumptions change, impairment charges for these assets may be required.
		Future Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets
		Based on amounts recorded at December 31, 2013 and excluding assets of discontinued operations, total expected amortization of all acquisition-related intangible assets in each of the years ended December 31 follows (in millions):
		2014	$	135
		2015		83
		2016		66
		2017		58
		2018		54
		Trade Name
		The trade name intangible asset represents the fair value of the SunGard trade name and is an indefinite-lived asset not subject to amortization. The Company performed its annual impairment test of the SunGard trade name in the third quarter of 2013. Based on the results of this test, the fair value of the trade name exceeded its carrying value by 6% resulting in no impairment of the trade name. The sale of the HE business in January 2012 significantly decreased the estimated fair value of the Company’s trade name. As compared to the July 1, 2012 test, projected future revenues have declined and the discount rate has increased. In addition to future revenue projections, a critical assumption considered in the impairment test of the trade name is the assumed royalty rate. A 50 basis point decrease in the assumed royalty rate would have resulted in an impairment of the trade name asset of approximately $156 million (100 basis point decrease would result in an impairment of approximately $372 million). A 100 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in an impairment of the trade name asset of approximately $51 million. Furthermore, to the extent that additional businesses are sold, split-off or otherwise divested in the future, the revenue supporting the trade name will decline, which may result in further impairment charges.
	The split-off of the AS business 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 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 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 result 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 result 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 split-off, SunGard and AS agreed to a two-year royalty-free period for AS’ limited use of the “SUNGARD AVAILABILITY SERVICES” 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.
	Goodwill
	GAAP requires the Company to perform 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 11 reporting units. In September 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance that simplified how entities test goodwill for impairment. After an assessment of certain qualitative factors (referred to as “step zero”), if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test(s) become optional. As allowed under the amended guidance, the Company chose to assess the qualitative factors of five of its reporting units for the July 2013 test and determined, for each of those five reporting units, a step-one test was not required. For the July 2012 test, the Company chose not to assess the qualitative factors of its reporting units and, instead, performed the quantitative tests.
	For the step zero qualitative analysis performed for the five reporting units selected, management has taken into consideration all the events and circumstances listed in FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, in addition to other entity-specific factors. The five reporting units selected for a step-zero analysis each had a fair value in excess of 25% of its respective carrying value as of the July 1, 2012 step-one test. Management reviewed current projections of cash flows and compared these current projections to the projections included in the prior year’s step one test, and considered the fact that no new significant competitors entered the marketplace in our industry and that consumer demand for the industry’s products remains relatively constant, if not growing slightly. Also, economic factors over the past year did not significantly affect the discount rates used for the valuation of these reporting units. Management concluded that events occurring in 2013 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. The Company performed a step-one test for the remaining six reporting units.
	In step one, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. The Company estimated the fair values of each reporting unit by a combination of (i) estimation of the discounted cash flows of each of the reporting units based on projected earnings (the income approach) and (ii) a comparative analysis of revenue and EBITDA multiples of public companies in similar markets (the market approach). An equal weighting of the income approach and the market approach was used in the July 1, 2013 test. If there is a deficiency (the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value), a step-two test is required. In step two, the amount of any goodwill impairment is measured by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill, with the resulting impairment reflected as a charge to operations. The implied fair value is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination.
	Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires various assumptions including projections of future cash flows, perpetual growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on management’s assessment of a number of factors, including the reporting unit’s recent performance against budget, performance in the market that the reporting unit serves, as well as industry and general economic data from third party sources. Discount rate assumptions reflect an assessment of the risk inherent in those future cash flows. Changes to the underlying businesses could affect the future cash flows, which in turn could affect the fair value of the reporting unit.
	July 1, 2013 Impairment Test
	For the July 1, 2013 impairment test, the discount rates used were between 9% and 13.5% and the perpetual growth rates used were between 1.5% and 4%. Based on the results of the step-one tests, the Company determined that the fair values of each of the reporting units tested exceeded the respective carrying value and a step-two test was not required.
	The Company determined that the excess of the estimated fair value over the carrying value of one of its reporting units, which is now included in discontinued operations, was 9% of the carrying value as of the July 1, 2013 impairment test. This reporting unit’s goodwill balance at July 1, 2013 was $527 million. As mentioned above, the Company uses a combination of the income approach and market approach to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. Under the income approach, which is subject to variability based on the discount and perpetual growth rate assumptions used, a 50 basis point decrease in the perpetual growth rate or a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate would not cause this reporting unit to fail the step-one test. A one hundred basis point decrease in the perpetual growth rate or a one hundred basis point increase in the discount rate would cause this reporting unit to fail the step-one test and require a step-two analysis, and some or all of this goodwill could be impaired. Furthermore, if this unit fails to achieve expected performance levels in the next twelve months or experiences a downturn in the business, goodwill could be impaired. The other five reporting units for which the Company performed a step one test each had estimated fair values that exceeded the respective carrying value of the reporting unit by at least 25% as of the July 1, 2013 impairment test.
	July 1, 2012 Impairment Test
	Based on the results of the July 1, 2012 step-one tests, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Availability Services North America (“AS NA”) reporting unit, which is now included in discontinued operations, was in excess of its respective fair value and a step-two test was required. The primary driver for the decline in the fair value of the AS NA reporting unit compared to the prior year was the decline in the cash flow projections for AS NA when compared to those used in the 2011 goodwill impairment test as a result of a decline in the overall outlook of this reporting unit.
	Prior to completing the step-two test, the Company first evaluated certain long-lived assets, primarily software, customer base and property and equipment, for impairment. In performing the impairment tests for long-lived assets, the Company estimated the undiscounted cash flows for the asset groups over the remaining useful lives of the reporting unit’s primary assets and compared that to the carrying value of the asset groups. There was no impairment of the long-lived assets.
	In completing the step-two test to determine the implied fair value of goodwill and therefore the amount of impairment, management first determined the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Based on the testing performed, the Company determined that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded its implied fair value and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $385 million which is reflected in discontinued operations.
	For the July 1, 2012 impairment test, the discount rates used were between 10% and 12% and the perpetual growth rates used were between 3% and 4%.
	The following table summarizes the 2012 goodwill impairment charge by reporting unit (in millions):
	Segment	Reporting			Net goodwill			Impairment			Net goodwill
		unit			balance  before			charge			balance  after
					impairment						impairment
	Availability Services		AS NA		$	914		$	(385	)	$	529
	July 1, 2011 Impairment Test
	In 2009, the Company recorded an adjustment to the state income tax rate used to calculate the deferred income tax liabilities associated with the intangible assets at the LBO date which resulted in reductions to the deferred tax liability and goodwill balances of approximately $114 million. During 2011, the Company determined that the 2009 adjustment was incorrect and reversed it, thereby increasing the December 31, 2011 deferred tax liability and goodwill balances each by approximately $64 million for continuing operations and $50 million for assets (liabilities) held for sale. As a result of this correction, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $12 million in continuing operations related to the impairment charge in 2010, and recorded a $39 million goodwill impairment charge in discontinued operations, of which $36 million related to an impairment charge in 2009 and $3 million that related to the 2010 impairment charge. In addition, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $48 million, of which $35 million related to prior periods, reflecting the amortization of the deferred income tax liability that would have been reflected in the statement of comprehensive income had the 2009 adjustment not been made. The Company assessed the impact of correcting these errors in 2011 and did not believe that these amounts were material to any prior period financial statements, nor was the correction of these errors material to the 2011 financial statements. As a result, the Company did not restate any prior period amounts.
	The following table summarizes changes in goodwill by segment (in millions):
		Cost									Accumulated impairment						Total
		FS			PS&E			Subtotal			PS&E			Subtotal
	Balance at December 31, 2011	$	3,449		$	545		$	3,994		$	(217	)	$	(217	)	$	3,777

	Other Long-Term Liabilities
	Other long-term liabilities consist primarily of lease-leveling accruals and restoration liabilities.
	Stock Compensation
	Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the appropriate service period. Fair value of restricted stock units is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common and preferred stock at the time of grant. Fair value for stock options is computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Fair value for share appreciation rights is computed using either the Black-Scholes pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating the expected term of stock options, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, and the number of awards expected to be forfeited. In addition, for stock-based awards where vesting is dependent upon achieving certain operating performance goals, the Company estimates the likelihood of achieving the performance goals. Differences between actual results and these estimates could have a material effect on the consolidated financial results. A deferred income tax asset is recorded over the vesting period as stock compensation expense is recognized. The Company’s ability to use the deferred tax asset is ultimately based on the actual value of the stock option upon exercise or restricted stock unit or share appreciation right upon distribution. If the actual value at that time is lower than the fair value determined on the date of grant, there could be an income tax expense for the portion of the deferred tax asset that cannot be realized, which could have a material effect on the consolidated financial results.
	Income Taxes
	Income tax expense is based on income before income taxes, and is accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded when it is not more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Considerable judgment is required in assessing and estimating these amounts and the difference between the actual outcome of these future tax consequences and these estimates made could have a material impact on the consolidated results. To the extent that new information becomes available which causes the company to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities, such changes to tax liabilities will impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on a parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. 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 guidance regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Under certain circumstances, unrecognized tax benefits should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance is a change in financial statement presentation only and will have no material impact on the consolidated financial results. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 5 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 2018. 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 2018 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.

	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 March 31, 2014, one-month and three-month LIBOR were 0.15% and 0.23%, 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.														•		the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1%.
	A summary of the Company’s interest rate swaps at March 31, 2014 follows (in millions):													The applicable margin for borrowings under the various Credit Agreement tranches may change subject to attaining certain leverage ratios. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Credit Agreement, the Company pays a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments. The commitment fee rate is currently 0.875% per annum and may change subject to attaining certain leverage ratios.

	The fair values of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedging instruments are $4 million at each of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 and are included in other assets.													All obligations under the Credit Agreement are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by SunGard Holdco LLC and by substantially all domestic, 100% owned subsidiaries, referred to, collectively, as Guarantors.
	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 March 31, 2014.

Any mandatory prepayment resulting from a permitted disposition or the split-off of AS would be applied pro rata to the lenders of specific tranches of term loans at the Company’s sole discretion. All other mandatory payments would be applied pro rata to the term loan lenders and to installments of the term loans in direct order of maturity. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, SunGard made the following mandatory prepayments:
															•		In January 2012, SunGard completed the sale of HE and used net cash proceeds (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of $1.22 billion to repay, on a pro-rata basis, $396 million, $689 million and $137 million of tranche A, tranche B and the incremental term loan, respectively. As a result of the prepayment, the Company incurred a loss on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $15 million; and
															•		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 is required to repay installments on the tranche D and tranche E term loans in quarterly principal amounts of 0.25% of the funded total principal amount through the maturity date, at which time the remaining aggregate principal balance is due, subject to certain springing maturity provisions. As a result of loan prepayments, SunGard is no longer required to make quarterly principal payments on the tranche C term loans. As a result of the term loan payments on March 31, 2014, SunGard is no longer required to make quarterly principal payments on the tranche E term loans. Also, as a result of the February 7, 2014 amendment to the Credit Facility, upon split-off, SunGard’s revolving credit facility decreased from $850 million to $600 million on March 31, 2014.
													The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, SunGard’s (and most or all of its subsidiaries’) ability to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock, pay dividends and distributions on or repurchase capital stock, create liens on assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, repay subordinated indebtedness, make investments, loans or advances, make capital expenditures, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, amend certain material agreements, change its lines of business, sell assets and engage in mergers or consolidations. In addition, under the revolving credit facility within the Credit Agreement, SunGard may be required to satisfy the total leverage ratio covenant depending on the amount drawn at the end of each fiscal quarter.
													SunGard uses interest rate swap agreements 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 of these swap agreements 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 December 31, 2013, one-month LIBOR was 0.17% and three-month LIBOR was 0.25%. The net receipt or payment from the interest rate swap agreements is included in interest expense.
													A summary of the Company’s interest rate swaps at December 31, 2013 follows:
													Inception		Maturity		Notional Amount				Interest rate			Interest rate
																	(in millions)				paid			received
																								(LIBOR)
													August-September 2012		February 2017		$	400				0.69	%		1-Month
													Jun-13		Jun-19			100				1.86	%		3-Month
													Sep-13		Jun-19			100				2.26	%		3-Month
																	$	600				1.15	%
													The interest rate swaps are included at estimated fair value as an asset or a liability in the consolidated balance sheet based on a discounted cash flow model using applicable market swap rates and certain assumptions. For 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company included unrealized after-tax gains of $18 million, $2 million, and $5 million, respectively, in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to the change in market value of the swaps. The market value of the swaps recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) may be recognized in the statement of operations if certain terms of the Credit Agreement change, are modified or if the loan is extinguished. The fair values of the swap agreements at December 31, 2012 are $5 million and are included in other accrued expenses. The fair values of the swap agreements at December 31, 2013 are $4 million and are included in other assets. The effects of the interest rate swaps are reflected in the effective interest rate for the Credit Agreement loans in the components of the debt table above. The Company had no ineffectiveness related to its swap agreements as of December 31, 2013. The Company expects to reclassify in the next twelve months approximately $4 million from other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings related to the Company’s interest rate swaps based on the borrowing rates at December 31, 2013.
													In February 2014, the Company entered into three new interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of $300 million. Each of these swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges similar to those outstanding as of December 31, 2013. The Company will receive the greater of three-month LIBOR or 1%, and will pay fixed amounts between 2.24% to 2.28%.
													(B) Senior Secured Notes due 2014
													On January 15, 2004, SunGard issued $250 million of 4.875% senior unsecured notes due January 2014, which are subject to certain standard covenants. As a result of the LBO, these senior notes became collateralized on an equal and ratable basis with loans under the Credit Agreement and are guaranteed by all subsidiaries that guarantee the senior notes due 2018 and 2020 and senior subordinated notes due 2019. The senior secured notes due 2014 were recorded at $246 million as of December 31, 2012 reflecting the remaining unamortized discount of $4 million caused by the LBO that was amortized as interest expense during 2013. The Senior Secured Notes were fully repaid and retired in January 2014.
													(C) Senior Notes due 2015, 2018 and 2020 and Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 and 2019
													In November 2010, SunGard issued $900 million of 7.375% senior notes due 2018 and $700 million of 7.625% of senior notes due 2020. The proceeds, together with other cash, were used to retire the former $1.6 billion 9.125% senior notes that would have been due 2013. The senior notes due 2018 and 2020 (i) rank equally in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt and other obligations that are not, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the senior notes due 2018 and 2020, (ii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and (iii) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the senior notes due 2018 and 2020. All obligations under the senior notes due 2018 and 2020 are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, subject to certain exceptions, by substantially all domestic, 100% owned subsidiaries of SunGard.
													On April 2, 2012, SunGard redeemed for $527 million plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, all of its outstanding $500 million 10.625% senior notes due 2015 (“2015 Notes”) under the Indenture dated as of September 29, 2008 among SunGard, the guarantors named therein, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, as amended or supplemented from time to time. In conjunction with the redemption of the 2015 Notes, the Company incurred a $37 million loss on the extinguishment of debt which included a $27 million premium.
													On November 1, 2012, SunGard issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior subordinated notes due 2019 (“senior subordinated notes”) and used a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to repurchase approximately $490 million of its $1 billion 10.25% senior subordinated notes due 2015 (“existing 10.25% senior subordinated notes”). On December 3, 2012, SunGard redeemed the remaining existing 10.25% senior subordinated notes. As a result of this transaction, the Company incurred a $29 million loss on the extinguishment of debt which included a $21 million premium.
													On March 31, 2014, SunGard exchanged the SpinCo Notes with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $425 million for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $389 million of existing SunGard 7.375% 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 repayments of $1,005 million of term loans and the $60 million of receivables facility term loan and the retirement of the SunGard Notes during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
													The senior subordinated notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations that are subordinated in right of payment to the existing and future senior debt, including the senior secured credit facilities, the senior secured notes due 2014 and the senior notes due 2018 and 2020. The senior subordinated notes (i) rank equally in right of payment to all future senior subordinated debt, (ii) are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, (iii) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of each subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the senior subordinated notes, and (iv) rank senior in right of payment to all future debt and other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the senior subordinated notes.
													The senior notes due 2018 and 2020 and senior subordinated notes are redeemable in whole or in part, at SunGard’s option, at any time at varying redemption prices that generally include premiums, which are defined in the applicable indentures. In addition, upon a change of control, SunGard is required to make an offer to redeem all of the senior notes and senior subordinated notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
													The indentures governing the senior notes due 2018 and 2020 and senior subordinated notes contain a number of covenants that restrict, subject to certain exceptions, SunGard’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates, create liens securing certain debt without securing the senior notes due 2018 and 2020 or senior subordinated notes, as applicable, sell certain assets, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
													(D) Secured Accounts Receivable Facility
													SunGard’s syndicated secured accounts receivable facility limit was $275 million at December 31, 2013, which consists of a term loan of $200 million and a revolving commitment of $75 million. Advances may be borrowed and repaid under the revolving commitment with no impact on the facility limit. The term loan commitment may be repaid at any time at SunGard’s option, but will result in a permanent reduction in the facility limit. The interest rate is one-month LIBOR plus 3.5%, which at December 31, 2012 and 2013 was 3.71% and 3.67%, respectively. The facility matures on December 19, 2017. At December 31, 2013, $200 million was drawn against the term loan commitment and no amount was outstanding under the revolving credit commitment. Also at December 31, 2013, $509 million of accounts receivable secured the borrowings under the receivables facility. On January 31, 2014, SunGard removed AS as a seller and, as a result, repaid $60 million of the term loan commitment. After the removal of AS and the $60 million repayment of the term loan, the aggregate facility limit was $200 million, consisting of a $140 million term loan commitment and a $60 million revolving credit commitment, which also was reduced as a result of the removal of AS.
													SunGard is subject to a fee on the unused portion of 0.75% per annum. The receivables facility contains certain covenants and SunGard is required to satisfy and maintain specified facility performance ratios, financial ratios and other financial condition tests.
													Future Maturities
													At December 31, 2013, the contractual future maturities of debt are as follows (in millions):
															Contractual(1)
													2014		$	290	(2)
													2015			29

Also as a result of the term loan payments on March 31, 2014, SunGard is no longer required to make quarterly principal payments on the tranche E term loans. The $713 million payment related to tranche D represented the entire outstanding balance of tranche D at March 31, 2014.
													-2	On January 15, 2014, the Company repaid $250 million of senior secured notes due 2014. On February 28, 2014, the Company repaid the remaining $7 million outstanding tranche A term loans.

Stock Option and Award Plans and Stock-Based Compensation	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Stock Option and Award Plans and Stock-Based Compensation	'
	8. Stock Option and Award Plans and Stock-Based Compensation:
	The SunGard 2005 Management Incentive Plan (“Plan”) as amended from time to time was established to provide long-term equity incentives. The Plan authorizes the issuance of equity subject to awards made under the Plan for up to 70 million shares of Class A common stock and 7 million shares of Class L common stock of SCC and 2.5 million shares of preferred stock of SCCII.
	Under the Plan, awards of time-based and performance-based options have been granted to purchase “Units” in the Parent Companies. Each “Unit” consists of 1.3 shares of Class A common stock and 0.1444 shares of Class L common stock of SCC and 0.05 shares of preferred stock of SCCII. The shares comprising a Unit are in the same proportion as the shares issued to all stockholders of the Parent Companies. Options for Units cannot be separately exercised for the individual classes of stock. Beginning in 2007, hybrid equity awards generally were granted under the Plan, which awards are composed of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for Units in the Parent Companies and options to purchase Class A common stock in SCC. Currently, equity awards are granted for RSUs. All awards under the Plan are granted at fair market value on the date of grant.
	Time-based options and RSUs granted generally vest over four or five years with monthly or annual vesting depending on the timing of the grant. Performance-based options and RSUs are earned upon the attainment of certain annual or cumulative earnings goals based on Adjusted EBITA (defined as operating income before amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock compensation expense and certain other items) or Adjusted EBITDA (defined as operating income before amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, stock compensation expense, depreciation and certain other items) targets for the Company, depending on the date of grant, during a specified performance period. For awards granted prior to May 2011, the performance period was generally five years. For awards granted after May 2011, the performance period is generally 12 or 18 months at the end of which a portion of what was earned vests and the remainder of what was earned vests monthly or annually over a period of years. Time-based and performance-based options can partially or fully vest upon a change of control and certain other termination events, subject to certain conditions, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Once vested, time-based and performance-based RSUs become payable in shares upon the first to occur of a change of control, separation from service without cause, or the date that is four or five years (ten years for certain performance-based RSUs) after the date of grant.
	In June 2013, certain senior executives of the Company were granted long-term incentive equity awards (“Appreciation Units”) to be settled in stock. The Appreciation Units vesting terms are either market-based dependent upon the performance of the Company’s Unit price (“Performance-based”) or time-based. Performance-based Appreciation Units will vest only if the average value per Unit at each measurement date (as defined in the agreements) increases over a base Unit value specified in the agreements and may be subject to continued employment through June 1, 2017. Time-based Appreciation Units will vest in annual installments over a period of years as specified in the applicable award agreement, subject to continued employment. The Company determined the fair value of the Performance-based Appreciation Units using a Monte Carlo valuation model and will record the aggregate expense of $22 million over the four-year measurement period on a straight-line basis regardless of vesting, subject to continued employment, if applicable. Time-based Appreciation Units were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model at $4 million in the aggregate, which will be expensed over the four-year service period on a straight-line basis.
	The total fair value of options that vested for 2011, 2012 and 2013 was $8 million, $4 million and $2 million, respectively. The total fair value of Appreciation Units that vested during 2013 was $2 million. The total fair value of RSUs that vested for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 was $21 million, $30 million and $41 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2013, approximately 2.5 million and 3.2 million RSUs, respectively, were vested.
	The fair value of option Units granted in each year using the Black-Scholes pricing model and related assumptions follow:
			Year ended December 31,
			2011			2012			2013
	Weighted-average fair value on date of grant		$	9.76		$	7.84		$	8.06
	Assumptions used to calculate fair value:
	Volatility			43	%		43	%		49	%
	Risk-free interest rate			1.6	%		0.6	%		1.2	%
	Expected term			5.0 years			5.0 years			5.5 years
	Dividends			zero			zero			zero
	The assumptions used in valuing the Performance-based and Time-based Appreciation Units follow:
			Year ended December 31, 2013
			Performance-based			Time-based
	Weighted-average fair value on date of grant		$	5.45		$	5.91
	Assumptions used to calculate fair value:
	Volatility			38	%		38	%
	Risk-free interest rate			0.8	%		0.8	%
	Expected term			4 years			4 years
	Dividends			zero			zero
	The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Since the Company is not publicly traded, the Company utilizes equity valuations based on (a) stock market valuations of public companies in comparable businesses, (b) recent transactions involving comparable companies and (c) any other factors deemed relevant. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from market comparisons of certain publicly traded companies and other factors. The expected term of stock options granted is derived from historical experience and expectations and represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The requisite service period is generally four or five years from the date of grant.
	For 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company included stock compensation expense of $27 million, $31 million and $39 million, respectively, in sales, marketing and administration expenses (in continuing operations). In 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company included stock compensation expense of $8 million, $6 million and $8 million, respectively, in income (loss) from discontinued operations. At December 31, 2013, there was approximately $2 million and $64 million of unearned non-cash stock-based compensation related to time-based options and RSUs, respectively, that the Company expects to record as expense over a weighted average of 2.6 and 2.8 years, respectively. Also, at December 31, 2013, there was approximately $21 million of unearned non-cash stock compensation related to Appreciation Units that the Company expects to record over 3.4 years. In addition, at December 31, 2013, there was approximately $1 million and $31 million of unearned non-cash stock-based compensation related to performance-based options and RSUs, respectively, that the Company could record as expense over a weighted average of 2.2 and 3.2 years, respectively, depending on the level of achievement of financial performance goals. Included in the unrecognized expense related to performance award amounts above are approximately 60,000 option Units ($0.4 million) and 728,000 RSUs ($14 million) that were earned during 2012 and 2013, but that will vest monthly or annually during 2014 through 2017. For time-based options and RSUs, compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of four or five years. For performance-based options and RSUs, recognition of compensation expense starts when the achievement of financial performance goals becomes probable and is recorded over the remaining service period.

	-1	Weighted-average exercise price has been adjusted to reflect the reduction in the exercise price of all outstanding option units, other than options with an exercise price of $4.50 per Unit, by $3.64 per Unit at the date of the declaration of the preferred stock dividend.
	Included in the table above are 2.1 million option Units (weighted-average exercise price of $14.78), 0.6 million RSUs (weighted-average grant-date fair value of $21.63) and 1.3 million Class A options (weighted-average exercise price of $1.79) that have not vested and for which the performance period has ended. These options and RSUs may be canceled in the future.
	Shares available for grant under the 2005 plan at December 31, 2013 were approximately 26.4 million shares of Class A common stock and 2.8 million shares of Class L common stock of SunGard Capital Corp. and 1.0 million shares of preferred stock of SunGard Capital Corp. II.
	The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years 2011, 2012 and 2013 was $25 million, $22 million and $4 million, respectively.
	Cash proceeds received by SCC, including proceeds received by SCCII, from exercise of stock options were $0.3 million and $0.2 million in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Cash proceeds received by SCCII from exercise of stock options were $0.08 million in 2011 and $0.04 million in 2012. Cash proceeds received by SCC, including proceeds received by SCCII, from purchases of stock were $6 million in 2011. Cash proceeds received by SCCII from purchases of stock were $3 million in 2011. Cash proceeds received by SCC and SCCII from exercise of stock options in 2013 was not material.
	The tax benefit from options exercised during 2011, 2012 and 2013 was $9 million, $7 million and $1 million, respectively. The tax benefit from release of RSUs during 2011, 2012 and 2013 was $2 million, $6 million and $6 million, respectively. The tax benefit is realized by SCC since SCC files income tax returns as a consolidated group which includes SCCII and SunGard.

As a result of the 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.
Also on March 31, 2014, in conjunction with the exchange of preferred stock of SCCII for the common stock of SpinCo, 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) to increase the quantity granted to maintain the intrinsic value of the awards based on the new Unit price of SunGard 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.

	9. Income Taxes:	10. Income Taxes:
	The effective income tax rates for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 24% and 34%, 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 three months ended March 31, 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 $46 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 split-off of AS, 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 split-off of AS. 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 split-off of AS, a Tax Sharing and Disaffiliation Agreement (the “Agreement”) was entered into on March 31, 2014 by the Company and entities comprising AS. 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 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 split-off and non-income related taxes attributable to the AS business for any taxable period before and after the date of the 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 split-off. See “Risks Relating to the Split-Off” for further discussion of provisions of this Agreement.	The continuing operations provision (benefit) for income taxes for 2011, 2012 and 2013 consisted of the following (in millions):

		-1	Includes foreign taxes, dividends and the rate differential between U.S. and foreign countries. Also includes a favorable adjustment in 2011 of $4 million related to foreign tax credits not previously recognized, and includes $8 million, $6 million and $4 million in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, related to benefits of tax holidays in Tunisia and India which expire in 2017 and 2024, respectively.
		-2	During 2011, the Company determined that a 2009 adjustment was incorrect and reversed it, thereby increasing the deferred tax liability and goodwill balances. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $35 million reflecting the amortization of the deferred income tax liability the benefit of which would have been reflected in the statement of comprehensive income had the 2009 adjustment not been made (see goodwill discussion in Note 1).
		-3	The change in uncertain tax positions recorded in continuing operations was a decrease of $1 million and increases of $10 million and $1 million in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, which reflects the offsetting benefits recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The balance is recorded in discontinued operations.
		Deferred income taxes are recorded based upon differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2012 and 2013 consisted of the following (in millions):

	Less amounts classified as discontinued operations			354			282
	Net long-term deferred income tax liability—continuing operations		$	(672	)	$	(640	)
	The deferred income tax assets and liabilities include amounts classified as related to discontinued operations on the face of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	The Company recorded a $135 million deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2011 related to the book-over-tax basis difference in a Higher Education subsidiary. The deferred tax provision was reflected in discontinued operations. Upon completion of the sale of Higher Education in the first quarter of 2012, the deferred tax liability was reversed.
	As of December 31, 2013 the Company has net operating loss carryforwards, the tax effect of which is $98 million, which consist of $16 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes, $19 million for U.S. state income tax purposes and $63 million for foreign income tax purposes. The tax benefit recorded for net operating losses, net of valuation allowance, is $41 million, which consists of $8 million for U.S. federal income tax purposes, $11 million for U.S. state income tax purposes and $22 million for foreign income tax purposes. These tax loss carryforwards expire through 2033 and utilization is limited in certain jurisdictions. Some foreign losses have indefinite carryforward periods.
	The valuation allowances of $65 million and $67 million at December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively, were primarily related to federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers 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. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, projections for future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances at December 31, 2012 and 2013. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.
	Foreign tax credit carryforwards of $29 million and $20 million in 2012 and 2013, respectively, can be carried forward up to 10 years and will begin to expire in 2020. No valuation allowance has been recorded against this deferred tax asset as the Company believes it will more likely than not be realized prior to its expiration.
	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits follows (in millions):
			2011			2012			2013
	Balance at beginning of year		$	37		$	22		$	94
	Additions for tax positions of prior years			1			22			7
	Reductions for tax positions of prior years			(1	)		—			(5	)
	Additions for tax positions of current year			2			50			3
	Settlements for tax positions of prior years			(17	)		—			—
	Balance at end of year		$	22		$	94		$	99
	As of December 31, 2013 the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $99 million which if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate. Included in prepaid and other assets are amounts that would partially offset the impact on the effective tax rate. Increases in 2012 relate primarily to state income tax related matters. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits is accrued interest and penalties, net of federal benefits of $2 million, $4 million and $6 million for 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties in income tax expense.
	As part of the split-off of AS, SunGard entered into a tax sharing agreement with AS that apportions responsibility for U.S federal, state and local and foreign income and other taxes between the parties. See Note 13 for further information.
	Tax years after 2006 remain open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service, although years 2007 and 2008 are effectively settled. The Internal Revenue Service is currently completing its examination of tax years 2009 and 2010. In addition, tax years after 2004 remain open for audit by various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that between $0 and $32 million of unrecognized tax benefits may be resolved within the next 12 months.
	During the fourth quarter of 2012 as a result of debt refinancing activities, the Company reevaluated the earnings of all its foreign subsidiaries and those that could be expected to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. The Company determined that certain of its foreign subsidiaries earnings are permanently reinvested. The recognition of U.S. income tax is required when earnings of the foreign subsidiaries are not considered permanently reinvested outside the U.S. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company provided a deferred income tax liability of approximately $20 million and $24 million, respectively, for non-U.S. withholding and U.S. income taxes associated with the future repatriation of earnings for certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company has not provided deferred taxes on approximately $100 million of undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries at December 31, 2013. Quantification of the related deferred tax liability, if any, associated with permanently reinvested earnings is not practicable.

																The Company has two reportable segments: FS and PS&E.
		•		depreciation;
																FS primarily serves financial services companies through a broad range of software solutions that process their investment and trading transactions. The principal purpose of most of these systems is to automate the many detailed processes associated with trading securities, managing investment portfolios and accounting for investment assets.
		•		amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets;
																PS&E primarily provides software and processing solutions designed to meet the specialized needs of local, state and federal governments, public safety and justice agencies, public schools, utilities, non-profits and other public sector institutions.
		•		trade name and goodwill impairments;
																The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as operating income before the following items:
		•		severance and facility closure charges;
		•		stock compensation;													•		depreciation,
		•		management fees; and
																	•		amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets,
		•		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. In each of the tables below, we present the percent change based on actual, unrounded results.

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees	12 Months Ended

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees	'
	14. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees:
	The Company leases a substantial portion of its computer equipment and facilities under operating leases. The Company’s leases are generally non-cancelable or cancelable only upon payment of cancellation fees. All lease payments are based on the passage of time, but include, in some cases, payments for insurance, maintenance and property taxes. There are no bargain purchase options on operating leases at favorable terms, but most facility leases have one or more renewal options and have either fixed or Consumer Price Index escalation clauses. Certain facility leases include an annual escalation for increases in utilities and property taxes. In addition, certain facility leases are subject to restoration clauses, whereby the facility may need to be restored to its original condition upon termination of the lease. There were a combined $11 million of restoration liabilities included in accrued expenses and other long term liabilities at December 31, 2013.
	Future minimum rentals and sublease income under operating leases with initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year for continuing operations at December 31, 2013 follow (in millions):

	Rent expense from continuing operations aggregated to $77 million in 2011, $69 million in 2012 and $62 million in 2013. Sublease rental income was $3 million and $5 million in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Rent expense from discontinued operations aggregated to $161 million in 2011, $147 million in 2012 and $147 million in 2013. At December 31, 2013, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations related to its continuing operations of approximately $91 million and outstanding letters of credit and bid bonds issued primarily as security for performance under certain customer contracts of $35 million, of which $14 million relate to AS.
	In the event that the management agreement described in Note 13 is terminated by the Sponsors (or their affiliates) or SunGard and its Parent Companies, the Sponsors (or their affiliates) will receive a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the annual management fees that would have been payable for the remainder of the term of the management agreement. The initial term of the management agreement is ten years, and it extends annually for one year unless the Sponsors (or their affiliates) or SunGard and its Parent Companies provide notice to the other. The initial ten year term expires August 11, 2015.
	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 December 31, 2013, 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 Company has recorded a reserve for unrecognized tax benefits for certain matters. Also, the Company is under examination in various federal, state and local and foreign jurisdictions related to income and non-income tax matters. Based on current knowledge, the Company believes that resolution of these matters, giving recognition to the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits, will not have a materially adverse impact on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

	-5	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed a review of its accounting practices related to vacation pay obligations. In countries where the vacation policy stipulated that vacation days earned in the current year must be used in that same year, the Company adjusted its quarterly estimate of accrued vacation costs to better match expense recognition with amounts payable to employees when leaving the Company. The impact of the change in estimate was an aggregate decrease to costs and expenses of $10 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The impact of this change was negligible for the full year since the balance would have naturally reversed, with a substantial majority of that reversal occurring during the fourth quarter.

	(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)	Included in Assets of discontinued operations is $91 million of Availability Services’ investment in its non-guarantor subsidiaries. Also included is $142 million of accounts receivable that secured borrowings under the secured accounts receivable facility.																(a)	This balance is primarily comprised of a receivable from the Company’s Accounts Receivable Financing subsidiary, which is a non-Guarantor, resulting from the normal, recurring sale of accounts receivable under the receivables facility. In a liquidation, the first $250 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.
	(c)	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 the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ income tax liability balance.
	(d)	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.																(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 the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ income tax liability balance.
	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.

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 split-off of the AS business 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 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 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 result 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 result 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 split-off, SunGard and AS agreed to a two-year royalty-free period for AS’ limited use 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” trade name during the royalty-free period.

	8. Equity:
	On March 31, 2014, SunGard completed the split-off of its AS business to its existing stockholders, including its private equity owners, on a tax-free and pro-rata basis. The following rollforward of stockholders’ equity for SunGard is provided to illustrate the impact of the AS split-off on stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	Stock-based Compensation
	As a result of the 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.
	Also on March 31, 2014, in conjunction with the exchange of preferred stock of SCCII for the common stock of SpinCo, 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) to increase the quantity granted to maintain the intrinsic value of the awards based on the new Unit price of SunGard 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.

Estimates

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make many estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. The Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis and revises them when necessary. Actual results may differ from the original or revised estimates.

Revenue Recognition

'

'

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from the following sources: (1) services revenue, which includes revenue from processing services, software maintenance and support, software rentals, managed services, professional services and broker/dealer fees; and, (2) software license fees, which result from contracts that permit the customer to use a SunGard product at the customer’s site.

The following criteria must be met in determining whether revenue may be recorded: persuasive evidence of a contract exists; software has been delivered and/or services have been provided; the price is fixed or determinable; and collection is reasonably assured.

Services revenue is recorded as the services are provided based on the relative fair value of each element. FS managed services revenue includes monthly fees, which may include a fixed minimum fee and/or variable fees based on a measure of volume or activity, such as the number of accounts, trades or transactions, users or the number of hours of service. Software rentals combine the license and maintenance services into a bundled element, and the fee is recognized ratably over the corresponding services period when the customer has the right to use the software product and receive maintenance and support services.

For fixed-fee professional services contracts, services revenue is recorded based upon proportional performance, measured by the actual number of hours incurred divided by the total estimated number of hours for the project. Changes in the estimated costs or hours to complete the contract, and losses, if any, are reflected in the period during which the change or loss becomes known. The Company also provides professional services on a time and materials basis, recognized monthly based upon hours incurred to date. In all cases, contract milestones, project risk profile and refund provisions are taken into consideration.

License fees result from contracts that permit the customer to use a SunGard software product at the customer’s designated site. Generally, these contracts are multiple-element arrangements since they usually provide for professional services and ongoing software maintenance. In these instances, license fees are recognized upon the signing of the contract and delivery of the software if the license fee and fees for other elements within the arrangement are fixed or determinable, collection is probable, and there is sufficient vendor specific evidence of the fair value of each undelivered element. When there are significant program modifications or customization, installation, systems integration or related services, the professional services and license revenue are combined in accordance with contract accounting guidance and recorded based upon proportional performance, measured in the manner described above. License revenue is recorded as each installment becomes due if customer payments are extended beyond normal billing terms, or at acceptance when there is significant acceptance, technology or service risk. Revenue also is recorded over the longest service period in those instances where the software is bundled together with post-delivery services and there is not sufficient evidence of the fair value of each undelivered service element.

With respect to software-related multiple element arrangements, sufficient evidence of fair value is defined as vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”). VSOE of the fair value for each element within an arrangement is based on either historical stand-alone sales of the element to third parties or stated renewal rates within the contract. If there is no VSOE of the fair value of the delivered element (which is usually the software since the license is rarely if ever sold separately), but there is VSOE of the fair value of each of the undelivered elements (typically maintenance and professional services), then the residual method is used to determine the portion of the arrangement fee allocated to the delivered element. The revenue for each of the undelivered elements is set at the fair value of those elements using VSOE of the price paid when each of the undelivered elements is sold separately. The revenue remaining after allocation to the undelivered elements (i.e., the residual) is allocated to the delivered element.

The Company’s maintenance and support offerings entitle the customers to receive product upgrades and enhancements on a “when and if available” basis along with technical support, and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance and support arrangement. VSOE supporting the fair value of maintenance and support is based on the stated (optional) renewal rates contained in the initial arrangement. VSOE for the maintenance element is dependent upon the software product and the annual maintenance fee is typically 18% to 20% of the software license fee. VSOE supporting the fair value of professional services is based on the standard daily rates charged when those services are sold separately, represented by a substantial portion of transactions falling within a reasonably tight pricing range.

In some software-related multiple-element arrangements, the maintenance or professional services rates are discounted. In these cases, a portion of the software license fee is deferred and recognized as the maintenance or professional services are performed based on VSOE of the services.

From time to time, the Company enters into arrangements with customers that purchase non-software related services at the same time as, or within close proximity to, purchasing software (non-software multiple-element arrangements). Each element within a non-software multiple-element arrangement is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting provided the delivered services have value to the customer on a standalone basis, and, for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relative to the delivered services, delivery or performance of the undelivered service is considered probable and is substantially controlled by the Company. Where the criteria for a separate unit of accounting are not met, the deliverable is combined with the undelivered element(s) and treated as a single unit of accounting for the purposes of allocation of the arrangement consideration and revenue recognition.

For non-software multiple-element arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each element based on a selling price hierarchy at the arrangement inception. The selling price for each element is based upon the following selling price hierarchy: VSOE, then third-party evidence (“TPE”), then best estimated selling price (“BESP”). The total arrangement consideration is allocated to each separate unit of accounting for each of the non-software deliverables using the relative selling prices of each unit based on this hierarchy. The Company limits the amount of revenue recognized for delivered elements to an amount that is not contingent upon future delivery of additional products or services or meeting of any specified performance conditions.

To determine the selling price in non-software multiple-element arrangements, the Company establishes VSOE of the selling price using the price charged for a deliverable when sold separately. Where VSOE does not exist, TPE is established by evaluating similar competitor products or services in standalone arrangements with similarly situated customers. If the Company is unable to determine the selling price because VSOE or TPE doesn’t exist, it determines BESP for the purposes of allocating the arrangement consideration. BESP can be determined by considering pricing practices, margin objectives, contractually stated prices, competitive/market conditions and geographies.

Unbilled receivables are created when services are performed or software is delivered and revenue is recognized in advance of billings. Deferred revenue is created when billing occurs in advance of performing services or when all revenue recognition criteria have not been met.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

'

'

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less.

Concentration of Credit Risk

'

'

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company sells a significant portion of its products and services to the financial services industry and could be affected by the overall condition of that industry. The Company believes that any credit risk associated with accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by the relatively large number of customer accounts and reasonably short collection terms. Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value, which approximates fair value. By policy, the Company places its available cash and short-term investments with institutions of high credit-quality and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer.

Foreign Currency Translation

'

'

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of each of the Company’s foreign operations is generally the local currency of the country in which the operation is located. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average exchange rates during the period. Increases and decreases in net assets resulting from currency translation are reflected in stockholder’s equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Legal Fees

'

'

Legal Fees

Prior to December 31, 2012, legal fees expected to be incurred defending the Company in connection with an asserted claim were accrued when they were probable of being incurred and could be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2012, the Company changed its policy to expense all legal costs in connection with an asserted claim as they are incurred as this policy was determined to be preferable.

Changes in accounting policies must be applied retrospectively in the financial statements. Retrospective application requires an entity to implement the change in accounting policy as though it had always been applied. However, the Company has concluded that the impact of applying the change on a retrospective basis was not material to the Company’s financial statements. The impact of the change was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the new policy has been applied prospectively effective December 31, 2012.

Property and Equipment

'

'

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (three to eight years for equipment and ten to 40 years for buildings and improvements). Leasehold improvements are amortized ratably over their remaining lease term or useful life, if shorter. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment in continuing operations was $60 million in 2011, $62 million in 2012 and $63 million in 2013.

Software Products

'

'

Software Products

Software development costs are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of design and development costs of new products, and significant enhancements to existing products incurred before the establishment of technological feasibility. Costs incurred subsequent to technological feasibility of new and enhanced products, costs incurred to purchase or to create and implement internal-use software, and software obtained through business acquisitions are capitalized. Such costs are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related products, generally three to twelve years (average life is nine years), using the straight-line method.

Amortization of all software products in continuing operations, including software acquired in business acquisitions and software purchased for internal use, totaled $218 million in 2011, $184 million in 2012 and $160 million in 2013. Software development expense in continuing operations was $224 million in 2011, $219 million in 2012 and $196 million in 2013. Capitalized development costs in continuing operations were $10 million in 2011, $22 million in 2012 and $41 million in 2013.

Intangible Assets

'

'

Purchase Accounting and Intangible Assets

Purchase accounting requires that all assets and liabilities be recorded at fair value on the acquisition date, including identifiable intangible assets separate from goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets include customer base (which includes customer contracts and relationships), software, trade name and non-compete agreements. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired.

The estimated fair values and useful lives of identifiable intangible assets are based on many factors, including estimates and assumptions of future operating performance and cash flows of the acquired business, the nature of the business acquired, the specific characteristics of the identified intangible assets, and our historical experience and that of the acquired business. The estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair values and useful lives of identified intangible assets could change due to numerous factors, including product demand, market conditions, technological developments, economic conditions and competition. In connection with determination of fair values, the Company may engage independent appraisal firms to assist with the valuation of intangible and certain tangible assets acquired and certain assumed obligations.

Customer Base Intangible Assets

Customer base intangible assets represent customer contracts and relationships obtained as a result of the LBO and as part of businesses acquired since the LBO and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to 18 years (average life is 14 years). Amortization of all customer base intangible assets in continuing operations totaled $68 million in 2011, $63 million in 2012 and $61 million in 2013.

Other Assets

Other assets consist primarily of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the Company’s outstanding debt (see Note 5), noncompetition agreements, long-term accounts receivables and long-term investments. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the related debt. Noncompetition agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over their stated terms, ranging from three to five years.

Impairment Reviews for Long-Lived Assets

'

'

Impairment Reviews for Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically reviews carrying values and useful lives of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Factors that could indicate an impairment include significant underperformance of the asset as compared to historical or projected future operating results, or significant negative industry or economic trends. When the Company determines that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, the related estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset are compared to the carrying value of the asset. If the sum of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value, which the Company estimates based on discounted expected future cash flows. In determining whether an asset is impaired, the Company makes assumptions regarding recoverability of costs, estimated future cash flows from the asset, intended use of the asset and other relevant factors. If these estimates or their related assumptions change, impairment charges for these assets may be required.

Future Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets

Trade Name

Trade Name

The trade name intangible asset represents the fair value of the SunGard trade name and is an indefinite-lived asset not subject to amortization. The Company performed its annual impairment test of the SunGard trade name in the third quarter of 2013. Based on the results of this test, the fair value of the trade name exceeded its carrying value by 6% resulting in no impairment of the trade name. The sale of the HE business in January 2012 significantly decreased the estimated fair value of the Company’s trade name. As compared to the July 1, 2012 test, projected future revenues have declined and the discount rate has increased. In addition to future revenue projections, a critical assumption considered in the impairment test of the trade name is the assumed royalty rate. A 50 basis point decrease in the assumed royalty rate would have resulted in an impairment of the trade name asset of approximately $156 million (100 basis point decrease would result in an impairment of approximately $372 million). A 100 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in an impairment of the trade name asset of approximately $51 million. Furthermore, to the extent that additional businesses are sold, split-off or otherwise divested in the future, the revenue supporting the trade name will decline, which may result in further impairment charges.

The split-off of the AS business 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 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 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 result 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 result 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 split-off, SunGard and AS agreed to a two-year royalty-free period for AS’ limited use of the “SUNGARD AVAILABILITY SERVICES” 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.

Goodwill

'

Goodwill

GAAP requires the Company to perform 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 11 reporting units. In September 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance that simplified how entities test goodwill for impairment. After an assessment of certain qualitative factors (referred to as “step zero”), if it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative test(s) become optional. As allowed under the amended guidance, the Company chose to assess the qualitative factors of five of its reporting units for the July 2013 test and determined, for each of those five reporting units, a step-one test was not required. For the July 2012 test, the Company chose not to assess the qualitative factors of its reporting units and, instead, performed the quantitative tests.

For the step zero qualitative analysis performed for the five reporting units selected, management has taken into consideration all the events and circumstances listed in FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, in addition to other entity-specific factors. The five reporting units selected for a step-zero analysis each had a fair value in excess of 25% of its respective carrying value as of the July 1, 2012 step-one test. Management reviewed current projections of cash flows and compared these current projections to the projections included in the prior year’s step one test, and considered the fact that no new significant competitors entered the marketplace in our industry and that consumer demand for the industry’s products remains relatively constant, if not growing slightly. Also, economic factors over the past year did not significantly affect the discount rates used for the valuation of these reporting units. Management concluded that events occurring in 2013 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. The Company performed a step-one test for the remaining six reporting units.

In step one, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. The Company estimated the fair values of each reporting unit by a combination of (i) estimation of the discounted cash flows of each of the reporting units based on projected earnings (the income approach) and (ii) a comparative analysis of revenue and EBITDA multiples of public companies in similar markets (the market approach). An equal weighting of the income approach and the market approach was used in the July 1, 2013 test. If there is a deficiency (the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value), a step-two test is required. In step two, the amount of any goodwill impairment is measured by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of goodwill, with the resulting impairment reflected as a charge to operations. The implied fair value is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination.

Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit requires various assumptions including projections of future cash flows, perpetual growth rates and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on management’s assessment of a number of factors, including the reporting unit’s recent performance against budget, performance in the market that the reporting unit serves, as well as industry and general economic data from third party sources. Discount rate assumptions reflect an assessment of the risk inherent in those future cash flows. Changes to the underlying businesses could affect the future cash flows, which in turn could affect the fair value of the reporting unit.

July 1, 2013 Impairment Test

For the July 1, 2013 impairment test, the discount rates used were between 9% and 13.5% and the perpetual growth rates used were between 1.5% and 4%. Based on the results of the step-one tests, the Company determined that the fair values of each of the reporting units tested exceeded the respective carrying value and a step-two test was not required.

The Company determined that the excess of the estimated fair value over the carrying value of one of its reporting units, which is now included in discontinued operations, was 9% of the carrying value as of the July 1, 2013 impairment test. This reporting unit’s goodwill balance at July 1, 2013 was $527 million. As mentioned above, the Company uses a combination of the income approach and market approach to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. Under the income approach, which is subject to variability based on the discount and perpetual growth rate assumptions used, a 50 basis point decrease in the perpetual growth rate or a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate would not cause this reporting unit to fail the step-one test. A one hundred basis point decrease in the perpetual growth rate or a one hundred basis point increase in the discount rate would cause this reporting unit to fail the step-one test and require a step-two analysis, and some or all of this goodwill could be impaired. Furthermore, if this unit fails to achieve expected performance levels in the next twelve months or experiences a downturn in the business, goodwill could be impaired. The other five reporting units for which the Company performed a step one test each had estimated fair values that exceeded the respective carrying value of the reporting unit by at least 25% as of the July 1, 2013 impairment test.

July 1, 2012 Impairment Test

Based on the results of the July 1, 2012 step-one tests, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Availability Services North America (“AS NA”) reporting unit, which is now included in discontinued operations, was in excess of its respective fair value and a step-two test was required. The primary driver for the decline in the fair value of the AS NA reporting unit compared to the prior year was the decline in the cash flow projections for AS NA when compared to those used in the 2011 goodwill impairment test as a result of a decline in the overall outlook of this reporting unit.

Prior to completing the step-two test, the Company first evaluated certain long-lived assets, primarily software, customer base and property and equipment, for impairment. In performing the impairment tests for long-lived assets, the Company estimated the undiscounted cash flows for the asset groups over the remaining useful lives of the reporting unit’s primary assets and compared that to the carrying value of the asset groups. There was no impairment of the long-lived assets.

In completing the step-two test to determine the implied fair value of goodwill and therefore the amount of impairment, management first determined the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. Based on the testing performed, the Company determined that the carrying value of goodwill exceeded its implied fair value and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $385 million which is reflected in discontinued operations.

For the July 1, 2012 impairment test, the discount rates used were between 10% and 12% and the perpetual growth rates used were between 3% and 4%.

July 1, 2011 Impairment Test

In 2009, the Company recorded an adjustment to the state income tax rate used to calculate the deferred income tax liabilities associated with the intangible assets at the LBO date which resulted in reductions to the deferred tax liability and goodwill balances of approximately $114 million. During 2011, the Company determined that the 2009 adjustment was incorrect and reversed it, thereby increasing the December 31, 2011 deferred tax liability and goodwill balances each by approximately $64 million for continuing operations and $50 million for assets (liabilities) held for sale. As a result of this correction, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $12 million in continuing operations related to the impairment charge in 2010, and recorded a $39 million goodwill impairment charge in discontinued operations, of which $36 million related to an impairment charge in 2009 and $3 million that related to the 2010 impairment charge. In addition, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $48 million, of which $35 million related to prior periods, reflecting the amortization of the deferred income tax liability that would have been reflected in the statement of comprehensive income had the 2009 adjustment not been made. The Company assessed the impact of correcting these errors in 2011 and did not believe that these amounts were material to any prior period financial statements, nor was the correction of these errors material to the 2011 financial statements. As a result, the Company did not restate any prior period amounts.

Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities consist primarily of lease-leveling accruals and restoration liabilities.

Stock Compensation

'

'

Stock Compensation

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the appropriate service period. Fair value of restricted stock units is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common and preferred stock at the time of grant. Fair value for stock options is computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Fair value for share appreciation rights is computed using either the Black-Scholes pricing model or a Monte Carlo simulation. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards requires considerable judgment, including estimating the expected term of stock options, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, and the number of awards expected to be forfeited. In addition, for stock-based awards where vesting is dependent upon achieving certain operating performance goals, the Company estimates the likelihood of achieving the performance goals. Differences between actual results and these estimates could have a material effect on the consolidated financial results. A deferred income tax asset is recorded over the vesting period as stock compensation expense is recognized. The Company’s ability to use the deferred tax asset is ultimately based on the actual value of the stock option upon exercise or restricted stock unit or share appreciation right upon distribution. If the actual value at that time is lower than the fair value determined on the date of grant, there could be an income tax expense for the portion of the deferred tax asset that cannot be realized, which could have a material effect on the consolidated financial results.

Income Taxes

'

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is based on income before income taxes, and is accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded when it is not more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Considerable judgment is required in assessing and estimating these amounts and the difference between the actual outcome of these future tax consequences and these estimates made could have a material impact on the consolidated results. To the extent that new information becomes available which causes the company to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities, such changes to tax liabilities will impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 our consolidated financial statements as we have 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.

In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on a parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company has historically accounted for the removal of CTA related to sales of non-U.S. entities consistent with this new guidance.

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. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 on January 1, 2015 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued guidance regarding the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. Under certain circumstances, unrecognized tax benefits should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. The guidance is a change in financial statement presentation only and will have no material impact on the consolidated financial results. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 5 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 2018. 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 2018 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 countries where the vacation policy stipulated that vacation days earned in the current year must be used in that same year, the Company adjusted its quarterly estimate of accrued vacation costs to better match expense recognition with amounts payable to employees when leaving the Company. The impact of the change in estimate was an aggregate decrease to costs and expenses of $10 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The impact of this change was negligible for the full year since the balance would have naturally reversed, with a substantial majority of that reversal occurring during the fourth quarter.

	(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)	Included in Assets of discontinued operations is $91 million of Availability Services’ investment in its non-guarantor subsidiaries. Also included is $142 million of accounts receivable that secured borrowings under the secured accounts receivable facility.																(a)	This balance is primarily comprised of a receivable from the Company’s Accounts Receivable Financing subsidiary, which is a non-Guarantor, resulting from the normal, recurring sale of accounts receivable under the receivables facility. In a liquidation, the first $250 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.
	(c)	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 the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ income tax liability balance.
	(d)	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.																(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 the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ income tax liability balance.
	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.

As these intercompany balances have not been historically settled, this entry eliminates the accumulated Parent Company income tax receivable balance with the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ income tax liability balance.

																		(c)	The intercompany cash transactions reflected above within investment activities largely reflect cash dividends or the return of capital.
	(a)	Cash flows from (used in) operations for the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries do not include any amounts related to their 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 quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Parent Company allocated approximately $53 million of tax liabilities to its Guarantor Subsidiaries.																(d)	The Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Schedule of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 has been revised to correct the presentation of taxes paid, the impact of foreign currency translation and the related intercompany transactions for the Parent Company, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. While these revisions had no impact on the previously reported total cash flows of the Parent Company, Guarantor Subsidiaries or Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the corrections resulted in the following changes to previously reported amounts: For the Parent Company, cash flow from (used in) operations changed from $(516) million to $(510) million and cash provided by (used in) investment activities changed from $886 million to $880 million. For the Guarantor Subsidiaries, cash flow from (used in) operations changed from $888 million to $936 million and cash provided by (used in) investment activities changed from $(904) million to $(952) million. For the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, cash flow from (used in) operations changed from $306 million to $252 million and cash provided by (used in) investment activities changed from $(308) million to $(254) million. These revisions had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet, or the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Schedule of Comprehensive Income.
	(b)	Includes cash of discontinued operations.																(e)	Cash flows from (used in) operations for the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries do not include any amounts related to their 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 year ended December 31, 2011, the Parent Company allocated approximately $100 million of tax liabilities to its Guarantor Subsidiaries.
	(c)	The Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Schedule of Cash Flows for the Parent and Guarantor Subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2013 has been revised to present intercompany transactions related to discontinued operations within the cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations caption within investment activities. These intercompany transaction related to discontinued operations had previously been presented within the intercompany transaction captions as part of continuing operations.
	While these revisions have no impact on the previously reported cash provided by (used in) investment activities, they resulted in the following changes to previously reported amounts. For the Parent, intercompany transaction changed from $108 million to $68 million; cash provided by (used in) continuing operations in investment activities changed from $107 million to $67 million; and cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations in investment activities changed from $- million to $40 million. For the Guarantor, intercompany transaction changed from $(121) million to $(81) million; cash provided by (used in) continuing operations in investment activities changed from $(137) million to $(97) million; and cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations in investment activities changed from $(15) million to $(55) million. These revisions had no impact on the consolidated results of the Company and were not material to the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Schedule of Cash Flows for any period.

(a)	Cash flows from (used in) operations for the Parent Company and the 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 quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Parent Company allocated approximately $67 million of tax liabilities to its Guarantor Subsidiaries.
																	(f)	The intercompany cash transactions reflected above within investment activities largely reflect cash dividends or the return of capital, including the cash dividend of $1.8 billion from Guarantor Subsidiaries to Parent in connection with the sale of our Higher Education business. Additionally, during 2012, the company settled $2.5 billion of inter-company balances through a series of non-cash dividend and return of capital transactions. These settlements reduced inter-company payable or receivable balances between Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries, with a related increase or decrease in investment in subsidiary or equity accounts and, therefore, these transactions are not reflected in the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Schedule of Cash Flows presented above.
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.																	(g)	The Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Schedule of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2012 has been revised to correct the presentation of taxes paid and related intercompany transactions for the Parent Company, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. While these revisions had no impact on the previously reported total cash flows of the Parent Company, Guarantor Subsidiaries or Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the corrections resulted in the following changes to previously reported amounts: For the Parent Company, cash flow from (used in) operations changed from $(881) million to $(863) million and cash provided by (used in) investment activities changed from $2,657 million to $2,639 million. For the Guarantor Subsidiaries, cash flow from (used in) operations changed from $847 million to $833 million and cash provided by (used in) investment activities changed from $938 million to $952 million. For the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, cash flow from (used in) operations changed from $278 million to $274 million and cash provided by (used in) investment activities changed from $(363) million to $(359) million. These revisions had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet, or the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Schedule of Comprehensive Income.
(b)	Includes cash of discontinued operations.																(h)	Cash flows from (used in) operations for the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries do not include any amounts related to their 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 year ended December 31, 2012, the Parent Company allocated approximately $191 million of tax liabilities to its Guarantor Subsidiaries.
(c)	The Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Schedule of Cash Flows for the Parent and Guarantor Subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2014 has been revised to present intercompany transactions related to discontinued operations within the cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations caption within investment activities. These intercompany transactions related to discontinued operations, which included $1,005 million of net cash proceeds from Sungard Availability Services Capital, Inc., a Non-Guarantor, to the Parent, had previously been presented within the intercompany transaction captions as part of continuing operations.
	While these revisions have no impact on the previously reported cash provided by (used in) investment activities, they resulted in the following changes to previously reported amounts. For the Parent, intercompany transactions changed from $1,047 million to $6 million; cash provided by (used in) continuing operations in investment activities changed from $1,046 million to $5 million; and cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations in investment activities changed from $— million to $1,041 million. For the Guarantor, intercompany transaction changed from $(55) million to $(19) million; cash provided by (used in) continuing operations in investment activities changed from $(72) million to $(36) million; and cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations in investment activities changed from $(5) million to $(41) million. For the Non-Guarantor, intercompany transaction changed from $(962) million to $43 million; cash provided by (used in) continuing operations in investment activities changed from $(972) million to $33 million; and cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations in investment activities changed from $10 million to $(995) million. These revisions had no impact on the consolidated results of the Company and were not material to the Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Schedule of Cash Flows for any period.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed a review of its accounting practices related to vacation pay obligations. In countries where the vacation policy stipulated that vacation days earned in the current year must be used in that same year, the Company adjusted its quarterly estimate of accrued vacation costs to better match expense recognition with amounts payable to employees when leaving the Company. The impact of the change in estimate was an aggregate decrease to costs and expenses of $10 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The impact of this change was negligible for the full year since the balance would have naturally reversed, with a substantial majority of that reversal occurring during the fourth quarter.

[1]	Includes foreign taxes, dividends and the rate differential between U.S. and foreign countries. Also includes a favorable adjustment in 2011 of $4 million related to foreign tax credits not previously recognized, and includes $8 million, $6 million and $4 million in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, related to benefits of tax holidays in Tunisia and India which expire in 2017 and 2024, respectively.
[2]	During 2011, the Company determined that a 2009 adjustment was incorrect and reversed it, thereby increasing the deferred tax liability and goodwill balances. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $35 million reflecting the amortization of the deferred income tax liability which benefit would have been reflected in the statement of comprehensive income had the 2009 adjustment not been made (see goodwill discussion in Note 1).
[3]	The change in uncertain tax positions recorded in continuing operations was a decrease of $1 million and increases of $10 million and $1 million in 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, which reflects the offsetting benefits recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The balance is recorded in discontinued operations.

The claim related to a FS customer that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2013. The amount of the claim represented previously reserved revenue, which now has been recognized, and a termination charge related to the customer contract.

In countries where the vacation policy stipulated that vacation days earned in the current year must be used in that same year, the Company adjusted its quarterly estimate of accrued vacation costs to better match expense recognition with amounts payable to employees when leaving the Company. The impact of the change in estimate was an aggregate decrease to costs and expenses of $10 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The impact of this change was negligible for the full year since the balance would have naturally reversed, with a substantial majority of that reversal occurring during the fourth quarter.

[1]	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. These balances had not been historically settled and the accumulated Parent Company income tax receivable balance had been previously eliminated against the Guarantor Subsidiaries' income tax liability balance. 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 the Guarantor Subsidiaries' 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 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.
[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.
[5]	This balance is primarily comprised of a receivable from the Company's Accounts Receivable Financing subsidiary, which is a non-Guarantor, 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.

[7]	This balance is primarily comprised of a receivable from the Company's Accounts Receivable Financing subsidiary, which is a non-Guarantor, resulting from the normal, recurring sale of accounts receivable under the receivables facility. In a liquidation, the first $250 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.
[8]	Included in Assets of discontinued operations is $91 million of Availability Services' investment in its non-guarantor subsidiaries. Also included is $142 million of accounts receivable that secured borrowings under the secured accounts receivable facility.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed a review of its accounting practices related to vacation pay obligations. In countries where the vacation policy stipulated that vacation days earned in the current year must be used in that same year, the Company adjusted its quarterly estimate of accrued vacation costs to better match expense recognition with amounts payable to employees when leaving the Company. The impact of the change in estimate was an aggregate decrease to costs and expenses of $10 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The impact of this change was negligible for the full year since the balance would have naturally reversed, with a substantial majority of that reversal occurring during the fourth quarter.

Includes a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $385 million.

[4]

Includes a pre-tax gain on sale of HE of $563 million.

[5]

Includes reversal of $20 million of income taxes on non-U.S. unremitted earnings, and a $6 million benefit relating to the correction of accrued and deferred income taxes.

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company completed a review of its accounting practices related to vacation pay obligations. In countries where the vacation policy stipulated that vacation days earned in the current year must be used in that same year, the Company adjusted its quarterly estimate of accrued vacation costs to better match expense recognition with amounts payable to employees when leaving the Company. The impact of the change in estimate was an aggregate decrease to costs and expenses of $10 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The impact of this change was negligible for the full year since the balance would have naturally reversed, with a substantial majority of that reversal occurring during the fourth quarter.

[2]

Includes reversal of $20 million of income taxes on non-U.S. unremitted earnings, and a $6 million benefit relating to the correction of accrued and deferred income taxes.

[3]

Includes a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $385 million.
