ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (which may be referred to as Altisource, the Company, we, us or
our) together with its subsidiaries is a provider of services focused on high-value,
technology-enabled, knowledge-based solutions principally related to real estate and mortgage
portfolio management, asset recovery and customer relationship management.
We are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select market under the symbol ASPS. We were
incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg on November 4, 1999 as Ocwen Luxembourg S.à r.l., renamed
Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.à r.l. on May 12, 2009 and converted into Altisource Portfolio
Solutions S.A. on June 5, 2009. We became a publicly traded company as of August 10, 2009 (the
Separation). Prior to the Separation, our businesses were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Ocwen
Financial Corporation (Ocwen).
We conduct our operations through three reporting segments: Mortgage Services, Financial Services
and Technology Services. In addition, we report our corporate related expenditures as a separate
segment (see Note 14 for a description of our business segments).
Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities, revenues and
expenses directly attributable to our operations. All significant inter-company and inter-segment
transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain amounts disclosed in
prior period statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
In February 2010, we acquired the Mortgage Partnership of American, L.L.C. (MPA), the manager of
a national alliance of community mortgage bankers, correspondent lenders and suppliers of mortgage
products and services that does business as Lenders One Mortgage Cooperative (Lenders One). The
Management Agreement between MPA and Lenders One, pursuant to which MPA is the management company
of Lenders One, represents a variable interest in a variable interest entity. MPA determined it is
the primary beneficiary of Lenders One as it has the power to direct the activities that most
significantly impact Lenders Ones economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the
right to receive benefits from Lenders One. As a result, Lenders One is presented in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on a consolidated basis with the interests
of the members reflected as Non-controlling Interest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
At June 30, 2011, Lenders One had total assets of $5.4 million and liabilities of $0.1 million.
We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by
GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal
recurring adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods
presented have been included. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in
conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2011, which contains a summary of our
significant accounting policies. Certain footnote detail is also omitted from the condensed
consolidated financial statements unless there is a material change from the information included
in the Form 10-K.
Investment in Equity Affiliate
We utilize the equity method to account for investments in equity securities where we have the
ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee. We
include a proportionate share of earnings and/or losses of equity method investees in equity income
(loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of June 30, 2011 our only significant equity investment was a 50% stake in Correspondent One
S.A. (Correspondent One) which was still in the formation process. Correspondent One facilitates
the purchase of conforming and government guaranteed residential mortgages from approved mortgage
originators. In July, we fulfilled our committed funding obligations and have provided a total of
$15.0 million to Correspondent One. Our ownership was reduced below 50% due to investments by
certain Lenders One members. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Correspondent One has minimal
impact to our Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations. Beginning in the third quarter of 2011, Correspondent One
will partner with Ocwen and members of Lenders One to provide additional avenues for members to
sell loans beyond Lenders Ones preferred investor arrangements and the members own network of loan
buyers.

Acquisitions
In April 2011, we acquired Springhouse, LLC (Springhouse) an appraisal management company that
utilizes a nationwide panel of appraisers to provide real estate appraisals principally to mortgage
originators, including the members of Lenders One, and real estate asset managers. See Note 6 for
additional information.
Foreign Currency Translation
Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Other foreign currency assets and liabilities that are
considered monetary items are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date.
Foreign currency revenues and expenses are translated at transaction date exchange rates. These
exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of financial instruments, which primarily include Cash and Cash Equivalents,
Accounts Receivable, net, Restricted Cash and Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses at June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010, are carried at amounts that approximate their fair value due to the
short-term nature of these amounts.
Additionally, a put option arrangement was issued to the predecessor owners of MPA. The
arrangement, which expires in February 2014, allows the holders to put a portion of the Altisource
shares issued as consideration to Altisource at a predetermined price. The fair value calculation
is deemed to be a Level 3 calculation. The fair value of the put option at June 30, 2011 of $0.2
million was valued using the following assumptions:
Assumptions | ||||
Risk-free Interest Rate |
0.19% 0.810 | % | ||
Expected Stock Price Volatility |
23% 44 | % | ||
Expected Dividend Yield |
| |||
Expected Option Life (in years) |
0.75 2.75 | |||
Contractual Life (in years) |
| |||
Fair Value |
$0.0 $1.14 |
The put option agreement is a written derivative valued similar to stock options and is included
within Other Non-current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value
of the put option agreements will be determined each quarter until such puts are either exercised
or forfeited. Any changes in value are included as a component of Other Income (Expense), net in
the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
NOTE 2 TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Ocwen remains our largest customer. Following the date of Separation, Ocwen is contractually
obligated to purchase certain Mortgage Services and Technology Services from us under service
agreements. These agreements extend for eight years from the Separation, subject to termination
under certain provisions. Ocwen is not restricted from redeveloping these services. We settle
amounts with Ocwen on a daily, weekly or monthly basis based upon the nature of the services and
when the service is completed.

Ocwen, or services derived from Ocwens loan servicing portfolio, as a percentage of each of our

We record revenues we earn from Ocwen under the various long-term servicing contracts at rates we
believe to be market rates as they are consistent with one or more of the following: the fees we
charge to other customers for comparable services; the rates Ocwen pays to other service providers;
fees commensurate with market surveys prepared by unaffiliated firms; and prices charged by our
competitors. As of January 1, 2011, we modified our pricing for IT Infrastructure Services within
our Technology Services segment from a rate card model primarily based on headcount to a fully
loaded costs plus mark-up methodology.
Transition Services
In connection with the Separation, Altisource and Ocwen entered into a Transition Services
agreement under which services in such areas as human resources, vendor management, corporate
services, six sigma, quality assurance, quantitative analytics, treasury, accounting, risk
management, legal, strategic planning, compliance and other areas are provided to the counterparty
for up to two years from the date of Separation. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
Altisource billed Ocwen $0.9 million and $0.8 million respectively ($0.5 million and $0.4 million
for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively), and Ocwen billed Altisource $0.8 million
and $0.6 respectively ($0.5 million and $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010,
respectively) for services provided under this agreement. These amounts are reflected as a
component of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Operations.

Springhouse Acquisition
In April 2011, we acquired Springhouse an appraisal management company that utilizes a nationwide
panel of appraisers to provide real estate appraisals principally to mortgage originators,
including the members of Lenders One, and real estate asset managers.
Consideration for the transaction consisted of the amounts provided in the table below. The
working capital amount is subject to additional revision in the third quarter which is not expected
to be material:

The goodwill arising from the Springhouse acquisition assigned to our Mortgage Services segment
relates principally to in-place workforce and our ability to go to market more quickly with a
retail origination appraisal business. All goodwill and intangible assets related to the
acquisition are expected to be amortizable and deductible for income tax purposes.
The results of operations of Springhouse has been included in our consolidated results from the
acquisition date. The acquisition did not have a material effect on our financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

(a) | Prior to our acquisition of Nationwide Credit, Inc. (NCI) in 2007, NCI completed an
acquisition which created tax-deductible goodwill that amortizes for tax purposes over time.
When we acquired NCI in 2007, we recorded a lesser amount of goodwill for financial reporting
purposes than what had previously been recorded at NCI for tax purposes. This difference
between the amount of goodwill recorded for financial reporting purposes and the amount
recorded for taxes is referred to as Component 2 goodwill and it resulted in our recording
periodic reductions first to our book goodwill balance in our consolidated financial
statements. As our book goodwill balance was fully written off at December 31, 2010, we
continue to amortize the remaining Component 2 goodwill for U.S. tax purposes by reducing
certain intangible assets by the remaining tax benefits of the Component 2 goodwill as they
are realized in our tax returns. The amount amortized was $1.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2011. The balance of Component 2 goodwill remaining was $8.5 million as of June
30, 2011 which should generate $5.1 million of reductions of intangible assets when the
benefit can be realized for U.S. tax purposes. |
Amortization expense for definite lived intangible assets was $2.6 million and $2.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively ($1.3 million and $1.5 million for the second
quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively). Amortization expense is estimated to be $5.3 million for
2011, $5.0 million for 2012, $4.8 million for 2013, $4.5 million for 2014 and $4.4 million for
2015.

NOTE 8 EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION
We provide stock-based awards as a form of compensation for certain employees and officers. We have
issued stock-based awards in the form of stock options. We recorded total stock compensation
expense of $1.4 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively ($0.6 million and $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively).
The compensation expense is principally included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in
the accompany Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Below is a summary of the different types of stock-based awards issued under our stock plans:
Stock Options
Service-based Options. These options are granted at fair market value on the date of grant. The
options generally vest over four years with equal annual cliff-vesting and expire on the earlier
of 10 years after the date of grant or following termination of service. A total of 1.1 million
service-based awards were outstanding at June 30, 2011.
Market-based Options. These option grants have two components each of which vest only upon the
achievement of certain criteria. The first component, which we refer to internally as ordinary
performance grants, consists of two-thirds of the market-based grant and begins to vest if the
stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 20% over the exercise price, so long
as the stock price is at least double the exercise price. The remaining third of the
market-based options, which we refer to internally as extraordinary performance grants, begins
to vest if the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 25% over the exercise
price, so long as it is at least triple the exercise price. The vesting schedule for all
market-based awards is 25% upon achievement of the criteria and the remaining 75% in three equal
annual installments. A total of 2.2 million market-based awards were outstanding at June 30,
2011.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted 0.1 million stock options. The
options have an average exercise price of $29.99 per share.
The fair value of the service-based options was determined using the Black-Scholes options pricing
model while a lattice (binomial) model was used to determine the fair value of the market-based
options using the following assumptions as of the grant date:

amounted to $7.0 million which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average remaining requisite
service period of approximately 3.1 years.

NOTE 12 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
assumed conversion of all dilutive securities.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are
calculated as follows:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, an immaterial amount of options that were
anti-dilutive have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS (0.2 million for the three and
six month ended June 30, 2010). These options were anti-dilutive because their exercise price was
greater than the average market price of our stock. Also excluded from the computation of diluted
EPS for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are 0.6 and 0.7 million
options granted for shares that are issuable upon the achievement of certain market and performance
criteria related to our stock price and an annualized rate of return to investors that have not
been met at this point.
NOTE 13 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of
business. We record a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage. For proceedings
where a range of loss is determined, we record a best estimate of loss within the range. When
legal proceedings are material we disclose the nature of the litigation and to the extent possible
the estimate of loss or
range of loss. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel and considering
insurance coverage where applicable, the outcome of current legal proceedings both individually and
in the aggregate will not have a material impact on the Companys financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.

NOTE 14 SEGMENT REPORTING
Our business segments are based upon our organizational structure which focuses primarily on the
services offered and are consistent with the internal reporting that we use to evaluate operating
performance and to assess the allocation of our resources by our Chief Executive Officer.
We classify our businesses into three reportable segments. Mortgage Services consists of mortgage
portfolio management services that span the mortgage lifecycle. Financial Services principally
consists of unsecured asset recovery and customer relationship management. Technology Services
consists of modular, comprehensive integrated technological solutions for loan servicing, vendor
management and invoice presentment and payment as well as providing infrastructure support. In
addition, our Corporate Items and Eliminations segment includes eliminations of transactions
between the reporting segments and this segment also includes costs recognized by us related to
corporate support functions such as finance, legal, human resources, six sigma and quality
assurances.
In 2011, we reorganized our reporting structure in that certain services that were originally part
of the Mortgage Services Segment are now classified as part of Financial Services. Prior periods
have been recast to conform with the current year presentation.
Financial information for our segments is as follows:

OVERVIEW
Our Business
We are a provider of services focused on high-value, technology-enabled, knowledge-based solutions
principally related to mortgage and real estate portfolio management, asset recovery and customer
relationship management.
We classify our business into three reportable segments:
Mortgage Services: Consists of services that span the mortgage lifecycle and are typically
outsourced by loan servicers and originators. In 2011, we reorganized our reporting structure in
that certain services originally part of Component Services and Other in this segment are now
classified as part of Customer Relationship Management in our Financial Services segment.
Following this change, Component Service and Other was renamed Origination Management Services.
Origination Management Services includes MPA, our legacy contract underwriting business and our
origination fulfillment operations currently under development. Prior periods have been recast
to conform to the current year presentation.
Financial Services: Consists primarily of unsecured asset recovery and customer relationship
management. As discussed above, Customer Relationship Management now includes certain services
that were originally recorded as part of Mortgage Services.
Technology Services: Consists of modular, comprehensive integrated technological solutions for
loan servicing, vendor management, invoice presentment and payment as well as providing
infrastructure support.
Stock Repurchase Plan
In May 2010, our shareholders authorized us to purchase 15% of our outstanding share capital, or
3.8 million shares of common stock, in the open market. From authorization through June 30, 2011,
we have purchased 1.0 million shares of common stock on the open market at an average price of
$28.51, leaving 2.8 million shares available for purchase under the program.
Springhouse, LLC
In April 2011, we acquired Springhouse, an appraisal management company that utilizes a nationwide
panel of appraisers to provide real estate appraisals principally to mortgage originators,
including the members of Lenders One, and real estate asset managers.
Factors Affecting Comparability
The following additional items may impact the comparability of our results:
| In February 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interest of MPA which
was formed with the purpose of managing Lenders One (see Note 1 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements). The results of operations of Lenders One have been
consolidated under the variable interest model since the acquisition date; and |
| Effective January 2011, we modified our pricing for IT Infrastructure Services within
our Technology Services segment from a rate card model primarily based on headcount to a
fully loaded cost plus mark-up methodology. This new model applies to the infrastructure
amounts charged to Ocwen as well as internal allocations of infrastructure cost. The impact
of this change is discussed further in the Technology Services segment. |

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary Consolidated Results
Following is a discussion of our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated. In
evaluating performance, we neutralize the impact of pass-through items for which we earn no margin
by excluding reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests where appropriate and calculating
all margins based upon Service Revenue.

We recognized $144.2 million of Service Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a 30%
increase over the same period in 2010. We sequentially grew Service Revenue in the second quarter
through higher sales of real estate owned (REO) properties, due to seasonality and expansion of the
title insurance business. Sequential growth in Service Revenue was constrained by Financial
Services due to seasonality as well as completion of temporary assignment in the first quarter, and
by Mortgage Services due to decreased foreclosure referrals which resulted in reduced title search
and default management services revenues.
For the third quarter, we expect modest growth in Service Revenue facilitated by seasonally strong
REO sales and continued growth of the title insurance operations. For the fourth quarter, we
expect substantially greater growth in Service Revenue assuming Ocwen concludes its acquisition of
the Litton platform and the Companys continued roll-out of our title insurance services.
22
Table of Contents
Income before income tax attributable to Altisource grew in both periods over the comparable
periods in 2010 principally as a result of the development of mortgage and real estate portfolio
management services and the growth of Ocwens servicing portfolio. Sequentially, income before
income tax attributable to Altisource declined $1.3 million due to increased investments in
personnel and technology to support our growth initiatives, initial investments in infrastructure
to support the acquisition by Ocwen of the Litton portfolio and the seasonal decline in Financial
Services revenue.
For the third quarter, we expect initiatives to support the Litton portfolio and investment in
technology will limit margin expansion. We continuously undertake process improvement initiatives
focused on margin enhancement of fully deployed services and we believe implementation of business
process management software, deployment of next generation REALSuite software and leveraging of
fixed costs on higher referral volume will facilitate continued growth in margins over the longer
term.

N/M not meaningful.
In evaluating our performance, we utilize Service Revenue which consists of amounts attributable to
our fee based services. Reimbursable Expenses and Cooperative Non-controlling Interests are
pass-through items for which we earn no margin. Reimbursable Expenses consists of amounts that we
incur on behalf of our customers in performing our fee based services, but we pass such costs
directly on to our customers without any additional markup. Cooperative Non-controlling Interests
is attributable to the members of Lenders One.
Growth in Service Revenue for the period presented was due to the development of mortgage and real
estate portfolio management services across our national platform. Our Mortgage Services and
Technology Services segments also benefited from the growth in loans serviced by Ocwen during this
period. Financial Services revenue declined in both periods compared due to a decline in revenues
from one of the segments largest customers. The decline was in part as a result of the client
shifting work to our global delivery platform. This resulted in lower revenue although higher
margins.
Sequentially, Service Revenue increased $0.8 million compared to the first quarter 2011 led by the
Mortgage Services and Technology Services segment. Increases in the Mortgage Services segment were
driven principally by the increased sales of REO properties and the growth of insured title
services partially offset by decline in services dependent upon foreclosure referrals. The
Technology Services segment continued to benefit from the growth in Ocwens loan portfolio. The
Service Revenue for Financial Services segment decreased principally due to higher seasonal
collections in the first quarter 2011 and the continued transfer of work to our global delivery
platform.
Our revenues are seasonal. More specifically, Financial Services revenue tends to be higher in the
first quarter and generally declines throughout the year. Mortgage Services revenue is impacted by
REO sales which tend to be at their lowest level during fall and winter months and highest during
spring and summer months.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of Revenue principally includes payroll and employee benefits associated with personnel

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our gross margin percentage was flat. Our margins have
remained fairly stable although we have and continue to make significant investments in personnel
and technology to support our growth plans. Sequentially, our margins declined as we increased our
investments in personnel to support the development of our insured title services and origination
services as well as increases in technology costs due to the initial implementation of our business
process software and higher software license costs given our continued growth.
When compared to the prior year periods, the substantial increase in Cost of Revenue is consistent
with the growth in our Mortgage Services segment as we expanded our mortgage and real estate
portfolio management services. In addition, increased volumes attributable to the growth in
Ocwens portfolio caused increases at both our Mortgage Services and Technology Services segment.
This was partially offset by a decline in Cost of Revenue for our Financial Services segment as we
continue to manage costs.
Compensation and Benefits costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased sequentially as a
result of the addition of personnel principally to support the development of our title agency and
origination services related to mortgage portfolio management, the expected growth in referrals
from Ocwen and personnel to develop our next generation of REALSuite technologies. We expect
compensation and benefit costs to continue to increase in the third quarter as we ramp up our
personnel to support the expected boarding of the Litton portfolio by Ocwen.
Outside Fees and Services for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 were essentially flat when compared
to first quarter 2011.
Technology and Communication costs increased sequentially for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 due
to continued investment in personnel and licenses as a result of the growth in personnel to support
existing and new services.

Our operating margin percentage was 23% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and compares
favorably to the same period in the prior year but reflects a sequential decline in margins in the
second quarter 2011 when compared to the first quarter.
Compensation and Benefits increased in both periods compared to the same periods in 2010 as we
built out our support functions such as accounting, legal and human resources as well as added to
the executive ranks of our segments to support the continued growth.
Professional Services fees have generally been declining as we have worked to reduce our external
legal costs through increased compliance and by reducing costs paid to external advisors with
respect to legal advice. In addition, consulting costs related to accounting and tax support
decreased as we have hired additional staff in these functions. Lastly, the first half of 2010
included professional costs associated with the acquisition of MPA.
Occupancy Related Costs increased in both periods as compared to the same periods in 2010 due to
the growth in our business. As of June 30, 2011, we had over 5,800 employees worldwide compared to
approximately 3,900 at year end.

Table of Contents
On a consolidated basis, income before income tax attributable to Altisource grew in both periods
over the comparable periods in 2010 principally as a result of the development of mortgage and real
estate portfolio management services and the growth of Ocwens servicing portfolio. Sequentially,
income before income taxes attributable to Altisource declined $1.3 million due to our increased
investments in personnel and technology to support our growth initiatives including our next
generation of REALSuite technologies, initial investments in infrastructure to support the
acquisition by Ocwen of the Litton portfolio and the seasonal decline in Financial Services
revenue.
Income Tax Provision
The Company recognized an income tax provision of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30,
2011 representing an effective tax rate of 10.3%. The income tax provision computed by applying
the Luxembourg statutory tax rate of 28.8% differs from the effective tax rate primarily because of
the effect of the favorable tax ruling as well as the mix of income and losses in multiple taxing
jurisdictions. The Company received a favorable ruling in June 2010 regarding the treatment of
certain intangibles that exist for purposes of determining the Companys taxable income. The
ruling was retroactive to the date of Separation. As a result of the ruling, the Company
recognized a $3.4 million credit attributable to 2009 as well as adjusted the year to date tax
provision to the new effective tax rate of 12.5% in the second quarter 2010 which resulted in a
credit of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following section provides a discussion of pretax results of operations of our business
segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Transactions between segments
are accounted for as third-party arrangements for purposes of presenting Segment Results of
Operations. Intercompany transactions primarily consist of information technology infrastructure
services and charges for the use of certain REALSuite applications from our Technology Service
segment to our other two segments. Generally, we reflect these charges within technology and
communication in the segment receiving the services, except for consulting services, which we
reflect in professional services.
Financial information for our segments is as follows:

Our Mortgage Services segment continues to be the primary driver of growth for both year to date
and second quarter results. As previously discussed, in 2011 we reorganized our reporting
structure in that certain services that were originally part of Component Services and Other are
now classified as part of Customer Relationship Management in our Financial Services segment.
Through July 2011, we fulfilled our funding requirements and have provided $15.0 million in total
to Correspondent One. Correspondent One is expected to partner with Ocwen and members of Lenders
One to provide additional avenues for members to sell loans beyond Lenders Ones preferred investor
arrangements and the members own network of loan buyers. We anticipate this will result in
improved capital markets execution for the members and facilitate the sale of our services to the
members.
The growth in Mortgage Services was due to the development of mortgage and real estate portfolio
services and growth in the loan portfolio serviced by Ocwen. On average, Ocwen serviced 466,353
loans for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 359,146 for the six months ended June 30,
2010. The growth in loans was principally driven by Ocwens acquisition of the HomEq portfolio which
boarded in September 2010. Assuming Ocwen completes the acquisition of the Litton portfolio, we
expect Ocwen to board at least an additional 200,000 loans principally impacting our results
beginning in the fourth quarter.
Sequentially, Service Revenue increased $2.2 million or 5%. This growth was driven by our new
insured title agency operations and seasonally improving REO brokerage commissions. These
increases were partially offset by a decline in our title search and default management services
operations which are dependent upon foreclosure referrals. We expect to continue to ramp up the
title insurance agency and, to a lesser extent, our origination services through the balance of the
year.
Although we believe the development of origination services is important to balancing our service
offerings, it will require a significant investment in personnel, technology and management to
ensure we can perform these services in-line with customer expectations. When appropriate, we will
consider small complementary acquisitions similar in nature to the recent acquisition of
Springhouse to facilitate the growth of origination services. Although we will continue to
leverage our global delivery model and our experience with technological based solutions,
econometrics and behavioral science, these investments could limit our ability to significantly
expand Mortgage Services margins, calculated based upon Service Revenue, during 2011.

In our Mortgage Services segment, we generate the majority of our Revenue by providing outsourced
services that span the lifecycle of a mortgage loan primarily for Ocwen or with respect to the loan
portfolio serviced by Ocwen. In addition to our relationship with Ocwen, we have longstanding
relationships with some of the leading capital markets firms, commercial banks, hedge funds,
insurance companies, credit unions and lending institutions.
Asset Management Services. Asset Management Services principally include property preservation,
property inspection, REO asset management and REO brokerage. In the first quarter of 2010, we
completed our national network for property preservation services and, including our real estate
broker referral network, have coverage nationally for REO dispositions. The completion of the
national network of our services, coupled with the increase in Ocwens loan portfolio, are the
reasons for the significant growth compared to the prior year period. Sequentially, Service
Revenue for this segment increased primarily as a result of the increase in REO properties sold
due to the seasonal nature of home sales when compared to first quarter 2011.
Origination Management Services. Origination Management Services includes MPA and our
developing fulfillment business. The increase year over year is principally due to the
inclusion of MPAs results for an entire period in 2011 as compared to a partial period in 2010
from the date of acquisition. Sequentially, Revenue declined as a result of a reduction in the
volume of loans sold through preferred investor agreements as well as a general decline in the
loan origination market which, although expected, impacted MPAs results. For the six months
ended June 30, 2011, MPA added 18 members (12 members in the second quarter) and as of June 30,
2011 had 190 members.
Residential Property Valuation. The increase in both year to date and second quarter as
compared to the same periods in the prior year was as a result of Ocwens residential loan
portfolio growth. Sequentially, Revenue increased slightly principally due to our acquisition
of Springhouse.
Closing and Title Services. During 2010, we began to roll out our title agency business in key
markets. In December 2010, we obtained agency status in California. During 2011, we are focused
on increasing our referral capture rate in our operational states and rolling out insured title
services nationwide, similar to what we accomplished with our title search and asset management
businesses in 2010. The continued focus on completing the rollout drove the year over year
increase. Sequentially, Revenue increased as we continue to expand our insured title agency
offerings sufficient enough to offset declines in default title search.
Default Management Services. We provide non-legal back-office support for foreclosure,
bankruptcy and eviction attorneys as well as foreclosure trustee services. The increase in both
periods as compared to the same periods in 2010 was a result of our continued rollout of a
national platform as well as Ocwens servicing portfolio growth. Sequentially, we saw a decrease
in Revenue primarily due to a decrease in foreclosure referrals to the attorneys we provide
services to and our trustee business.

Expenditures, which consists primarily of compensation and technology costs, increased in both
periods as compared to the same periods in 2010 due to the growth in default oriented mortgage
services. Sequentially, expenditures increased principally as a result of employee costs to
support the roll-out of our title agency operations, development of origination services and hiring
of employees to support expected growth. We would expect expenditures to continue to increase in
the third quarter as we prepare for the anticipated referrals from the boarding of the Litton
portfolio by Ocwen.
Outside fees and services increased over the prior year period due to the increase in default
oriented services for the periods presented. Sequentially, outside fees and services was
essentially flat. We anticipate outside fees and services to increase in the third quarter as we
expand our retail valuation and title agency offerings.
Several factors impact our gross margins from period to period including seasonality, the mix of
services delivered, timing of investments in new services and the timing of when loans are boarded
by our customers. Sequentially, our gross margin decreased principally as a result of increased
compensation and technology costs, particularly related to our title agency and origination
services under development.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses increased over both periods principally due to the
exponential growth in the segment which required investments in facilities, technology and other
general and administrative costs. Sequentially, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
declined as a result of reduced reserves for bad debt, reversal of stock compensation expense due
to the departure of certain executives and lower expenses for professional services. As this
segment continues to grow, we should see continued leverage resulting in increased margins.

As discussed above, Customer Relationship Management now includes certain services that were
originally recorded as part of Mortgage Services.
Financial Services revenue declined in both periods as compared to the same periods in 2010 due to
a decline in Revenue from one of the segments largest customers. The decline was in part a result
of the client shifting work to the Companys global delivery platform which resulted in lower
revenue although at higher margins. This decline was partially offset by growth in new asset
recovery management accounts and growth in customer relationship management revenues.
Sequentially, Revenue declined $1.5 million, or 8%, primarily due to the seasonality of collections
which are usually higher in the first quarter and a short-term customer relationship management
assignment that was completed in the first quarter.
Our new leadership team is focused on disciplined floor management and cost containment as well as
improving the analytics to determine which accounts to contact, what offer to make and what to say.
In addition, we are focused on delivering more services over our global delivery platform,
expanding our quality initiatives and investing in new technology. We expect limited revenue
growth in this segment and instead will be focused on the performance of our collectors, which
should facilitate future margin improvement.
In July 2011, we purchased the assembled workforce of a sub-contractor in India for $2.4 million that performed
asset recovery services. For the periods presented, the costs paid to the sub-contractor were
included as a component of Outside Fees and Services. In future periods, the costs will be
recorded as employee costs, technology or occupancy which will result in some movement between Cost
of Revenue and Selling, General and Administrative Expense categories.

In our Financial Services segment, we generate the majority of our revenue from asset recovery
management fees we earn for collecting amounts due to our customers and from fees we earn for
performing customer relationship management for our customers.
Asset Recovery Management. Our revenue associated with contingency collections declined in both
periods when compared to the same periods in 2010 due to a decline in revenue from one of the
segments largest customers. The decline was in part a result of the client shifting work to the
Companys global delivery platform which resulted in lower revenue although generally at higher
margins. In general, we have seen improved performance of our collectors which we believe will
translate into better placements in the future should such performance continue.
Customer Relationship Management. Our revenue associated with customer relationship management
increased in both periods as compared to the same periods in 2010 as a result of increased
services to two key customers. Sequentially, Revenue decreased due to a temporary increase in
staffing during the first quarter for one of our customers.

Our gross margin declined sequentially to 26% as a result of the decrease in revenue as Cost of
Revenue was essentially flat for the first and second quarter of 2011. When compared to the prior
year, expenditures declined principally as a result of lower employee costs as we expanded the use
of our global delivery footprint.

The primary focus of the Technology Services segment today is to support the growth of Mortgage
Services and Ocwen. In addition, Technology Services is assisting in the cost reduction and quality
initiatives on-going within the Financial Services segment. In 2011, we intend to expend
significant resources, principally personnel costs and external consulting costs to accomplish
three key objectives:
| The re-architecture and enhancement of our REALSuite of services; |
| The deployment of business process management and business intelligence reporting
systems to more effectively manage our operations; and |
| The development and early stage incubation of technology solutions principally based on
patented technologies. |
Effective January 1, 2011, we modified our pricing for IT Infrastructure Services within our
Technology Services segment from a model based principally on headcount to a fully loaded costs
plus mark-up methodology. This new model applies to the infrastructure amounts charged to Ocwen as
well as internal allocations of infrastructure costs.

REALSuite. Our REALSuite revenue is primarily driven by our REALServicing® product
which is our comprehensive residential loan servicing platform. The primary driver for the growth
in revenue is the increase in Ocwens residential loan portfolio.
IT Infrastructure Services. Our IT infrastructure services revenue declined when compared to the
comparable period in 2010 almost entirely due to our change in pricing for infrastructure services.
Sequentially, revenue increased given the increased headcount both internally and at Ocwen. The
mark-ups are based upon economic studies performed generally consistent with our transfer pricing
methodology.

Consumer Analytics group within Technology Services during 2011. Our Consumer Analytics group
seeks to expand our use of behavioral sciences by building proprietary algorithms and
psychologically-optimized communications through a customized technology platform. In addition, we
have seen an increase in licensing fees given the increase in personnel both at Ocwen and
Altisource.

Corporate costs rose throughout 2010 as we invested in staff to support our growing operations.
During 2011, we hired additional resources principally focused on legal, compliance and quality
assurance. In addition, lease costs increased related to the build out of new facilities to
support the growth we expect from Ocwens acquisition of the Litton portfolio. Typically we
include new leases costs within Corporate until the facility is put into use at which time the
prospective lease cost is included within the appropriate segment. Lastly, we continue to invest
in an enterprise resource planning system that we expect will increase the quality of our support
functions and over time reduce costs. When compared to the first quarter, corporate costs were
flat.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
We seek to deploy excess cash generated in a disciplined manner. Principally, we will continue to
invest in compelling services that we believe will generate high margins. In addition, we may seek
to acquire a limited number of complementary companies that fit our strategic objectives. Finally,
given the tax inefficiency of dividends, the low returns earned on cash held and our current belief
to pursue a limited number of acquisitions, we believe one of the best ways to return value to
shareholders is a stock repurchase program.
In May, 2010, our shareholders authorized us to purchase up to 3.8 million shares of our common
stock in the open market. Through June 30, 2011, we purchased 1.0 million shares of our common
stock on the open market at an average price of $28.51, leaving 2.8 million shares still available
for purchase.
Cash Flows
The following table presents our cash flows for the six months ended June 30:

N/M Not meaningful.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities consists of two components: (i) net income adjusted for
depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash items and (ii) working capital. In 2011, we
generated $38.2 million in positive cash flow from operations or approximately $0.26 per every
dollar of Service Revenue. This primarily reflects our profitability adjusted for non-cash items in
the period as a result of our year-over-year growth in mortgage related services partially offset
by an increase in working capital requirements.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we invested approximately $3.3 million in Correspondent
One to facilitate the establishment of this business. In addition, in the second quarter 2011, we
acquired Springhouse for $1.8 million. We currently expect capital expenditures in 2011 to be
higher than 2010 levels as we ramp up our development costs related to REALSuite. Our current
estimate of capital expenditures for the full year is $16 to $18 million. Our cash flow from
investing activities in 2010 includes the acquisition of MPA for which the purchase consideration
included $29.0 million in cash.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Cash flow from financing activities in 2011 primarily includes activity associated with stock
option exercises, share repurchases and payments to non-controlling interests as a result of the
acquisition of MPA. We utilized significantly more cash in 2011 from financing activities as a
result of our stock repurchase program.
Liquidity Requirements after June 30, 2011
In July 2011, we paid $12.0 million to fund our remaining commitment to Correspondent One and
a net amount of $0.7
million to a sub-contractor to terminate the existing arrangement and acquire an in-place workforce
of approximately 600 persons. During the third quarter, we expect to distribute $1.3 million to
the Lenders One members representing non-controlling interests.

Table of Contents
Management is not aware of any other trends or events, commitments or uncertainties which have not
otherwise been disclosed that will or are likely to impact liquidity in a material way.
Capital Resources
Given our ability to generate cash flow which is sufficient to fund current operations as well as
expansion activities, we require very limited capital. Were we to need additional capital, we
believe we have adequate access to both debt and equity capital markets.
Contractual Obligation, Commitments and Contingencies
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no significant changes to our contractual
obligations from those identified in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010,
other than those which occur in the normal course of business (primarily the addition of operating
leases due to our growth). See also Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional
information on commitments and contingencies.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. In applying many of these accounting principles, we need
to make assumptions, estimates and/or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our
estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are
reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates and/or judgments, however, are
often subjective. Actual results may be affected negatively based on changing circumstances. If
actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our
results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known.
Our critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A section in our Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2010. Such policies have not changed during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
OTHER MATTERS
Related Party Ocwen
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, approximately $92.3 million of the Mortgage Services ($48.5
million for the second quarter), $0.1 million ($0.1 million for the second quarter) of the
Financial Services and $10.1 million ($5.1 million for the second quarter) of the Technology
Service segment revenue were from services provided to Ocwen or sales derived from Ocwens loan
servicing portfolio. Services provided to Ocwen included residential property valuation, real
estate asset management and sales, trustee management services, property inspection and
preservation, closing and title services, charge-off second mortgage collections, core technology
back office support and multiple business technologies including our REALSuite of products. We
provided all services at rates we believe to be comparable to market rates.
In connection with the Separation, Altisource and Ocwen entered into a Transition Services
agreement under which services in such areas as human resources, vendor management, corporate
services, six sigma, quality assurance, quantitative analytics, treasury, accounting, risk
management, legal, strategic planning, compliance and other areas are provided to the counterparty
for up to two years from the date of Separation. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
Altisource billed Ocwen $0.9 million and $0.8 million respectively ($0.5 million and $0.4 million
for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively), and Ocwen billed Altisource $0.8 million
and $0.6 respectively ($0.5 million and $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010,
respectively) for services provided under this agreement. These amounts are reflected as a
component of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Operations.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. |
Our financial market risk consists primarily of foreign currency exchange risk. We are exposed to
foreign currency exchange rate risk in connection with our investment in non-U.S. dollar functional
currency operations, which are very limited, to the extent that our foreign exchange positions
remain un-hedged.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15a-15(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period
covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly
report were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and to ensure that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. |
b) | Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ending June 30,
2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting. |
