Allocation of Corporate Expenses
The Condensed Combined Statements of Income (Loss), Condensed Combined Statements of Comprehensive Loss and Condensed Combined Statements of Cash Flows include an allocation of general corporate expenses from Xerox. The financial information in these Condensed Combined Financial Statements does not necessarily include all the expenses that would have been incurred or held by the BPS Business had it been a separate, standalone company. It is not practicable to estimate actual costs that would have been incurred had the BPS Business been a standalone company during the periods presented. The management of the BPS Business considers these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits provided to, it. Allocations for management costs and corporate support services provided to the BPS Business for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 totaled $41 and $125, respectively and $40 and $127 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. These amounts include costs for corporate functions including, but not limited to, senior management, legal, human resources, finance and accounting, treasury, information technology, marketing and communications, internal audit and other shared services. Where possible, these costs were allocated based on direct usage, with the remainder allocated on a basis of costs, headcount or other measures we have determined as reasonable.

Related Party Receivables/Payables
Certain operating units of the BPS Business have various interest bearing notes under contractual agreements to and from Xerox and other related parties. The purpose of these notes is to provide funds for certain working capital or other capital and operating requirements of the business. Net interest expense on these notes with related party companies is recorded net in Related Party Interest in the Condensed Combined Statements of Income (Loss) and was $10 and $14 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively and $30 and $50 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These notes have fixed interest rates that range from 1.0% to 8.0%. The balances are reported within current assets as Related party notes receivable and within current liabilities as Related party notes payable in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets as the balances are expected to be settled as part of the separation transaction.

Related Party Revenue and Purchases
The BPS Business provides various services to Xerox including those related to human resource, accounting and finance and customer care, which are reported as Related party revenue in the Condensed Combined Statements of Income (Loss). The costs related to these services are reported as Related party cost of services in the Condensed Combined Statements of Income (Loss).

The BPS Business also leased equipment and received related services, supplies and parts from Xerox and Xerox subsidiaries in the amount of $4 and $5 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively and $15 and $18 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
