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 functions principally related to real estate and mortgage
portfolio management, asset recovery and customer relationship management. Utilizing integrated
technology that includes decision models and behavioral based scripting engines, the Company
provides solutions that improve clients performance and maximizes their returns.
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 Mortgage Partnership Association (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 that
they are the primary beneficiary of Lenders One as they have 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 Interests on the Condensed Consolidated
Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2011, Lenders One had total assets of $3.7 million and liabilities of
$0.2 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, they 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 March 31,
2011 our only significant equity investment was Correspondent One S.A. (Correspondent One) which
is in the formation process and therefore had no impact to our consolidated operations.

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 March 31,
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 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 as of March 31, 2011 of $0.4 million was valued using
the following assumptions:
Assumptions | ||||
Risk-free Interest Rate |
0.3% 1.29 | % | ||
Expected Stock Price Volatility |
29% 49 | % | ||
Expected Dividend Yield |
| |||
Expected Option Life (in years) |
1 3 | |||
Contractual Life (in years) |
| |||
Fair Value |
$ | 0.05 $2.32 |
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 with any changes in value 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 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 Date, 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
segment revenues and as a percentage of consolidated revenues was as follows for the three months
ended March 31:

Consolidated Revenues |
55 | % | 48 | % |
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. This new model applies to the amounts charged to Ocwen as
well as internal allocations of infrastructure costs. This resulted in reduced revenues for the
Technology Services segment and on a consolidated basis.

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 quarters ended March 31, 2011 and March
31, 2010, Altisource billed Ocwen $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and Ocwen billed
Altisource $0.4 million and $0.3 million, 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.

(a) | Prior to our acquisition of 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
firstly 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. The amount amortized was $0.9 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The balance of Component 2 goodwill remaining was
$9.9 million as of March 31, 2011 which should generate $6.0 million of reductions of
intangible assets. |
Amortization expense for definite lived intangible assets was $1.3 million and $1.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

NOTE 8 EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION
We provide stock-based awards as a form of compensation for employees and officers. We have issued
stock-based awards in the form of stock options and restricted stock units. We recorded total stock
compensation expense of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The compensation
expense is 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 3 months after termination of service. A total of 1.1
million service-based awards were outstanding at March 31, 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, would
vest over three years 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 criterion and the remaining 75% in
three equal annual installments. A total of 2.2 million market-based awards were outstanding at
March 31, 2011.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company granted 0.1 million stock options. The
options have an average exercise price of $29.14 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:

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 dilutive securities.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are
calculated as follows:
For Three Months Ended | ||||||||
March 31, | ||||||||

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, an immaterial amount of options that were anti-dilutive
have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS (0.7 million for the three months ended
March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are 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
Correspondent One S.A.
Correspondent One is formed to facilitate the purchase of conforming and government guaranteed
residential mortgages from approved mortgage originators. During the first quarter of 2011, we
provided initial funding to facilitate the establishment of the entity. We have committed to
provide an additional $14.0 million which expect to fund in the second quarter.
Litigation
The Company is from time to time involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of any
such current matters 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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that relate to, among other things, our
future financial and operating results. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements
by terminology such as may, will, should, expect, intend, plan, anticipate,
believe, estimate, predict, potential or continue or the negative of these terms and

OVERVIEW
Our Business
We are a provider of services focused on high value, technology-enabled, knowledge-based functions
principally related to real estate and mortgage portfolio management, asset recovery and customer
relationship management. Utilizing integrated technology that includes decision models and
behavioral based scripting engines, we provide solutions that improve clients performance and
maximize their returns.
We classify our businesses into three reportable segments:
Mortgage Services: Consists of portfolio management services that span the mortgage lifecycle.
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 Services has
been 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 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 and invoice presentment and payment as well as providing
infrastructure support. |
Stock Repurchase Plan
We intend to limit dilution caused by option exercises, including anticipated exercises, and
acquisitions by repurchasing shares on the open market. On May 19, 2010, our shareholders
authorized us to purchase 15% of our outstanding share capital, or 3.8 million shares of our common
stock, in the open market. Since the start of the stock repurchase program, we have purchased 0.9
million shares of our common stock on the open market at an average price of $27.85, leaving 2.9
million shares available for purchase under the program.
Springhouse, LLC
On April 11, 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.
Factors Affecting Comparability
The following items may impact the comparability of our results:
| In February 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interests 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; |
| Effective 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 cost plus mark-up methodology. This new model applies to the infrastructure
amounts charged to Ocwen as well as internal allocations of infrastructure costs. 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.

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.
We recognized $71.7 million of Service Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a 39% increase
over the same quarter in 2010. Revenues for the first quarter were consistent with our internal
expectations. Mortgage Services revenue grew as a result of (i) the national rollout of services
during 2010, including property preservation and inspection services, default management services
and sale of real estate owned (REO), and (ii) the growth in Ocwens loan portfolio. Financial
Services revenue declined compared to prior year due to a decline in revenues from the segments
largest customer. 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. Technology Services
revenue increased as the impact of lowering infrastructure services pricing (which occurred on
January 1, 2011) was more than offset by the growth in REALSuite revenues, principally
REALServicing®, given the growth in Ocwens servicing portfolio during 2010.
Sequentially, Service Revenue declined $2.6 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The
decline is principally attributable to the Mortgage Services segment which saw sequential decreases
in Residential Property Valuation, Default Management Services and Closing and Title Services, all
of which received elevated benefit in the fourth quarter from the boarding of additional loans by
Ocwen in September 2010. In addition, MPA declined in the first quarter compared to fourth
quarter consistent with the overall market decline in loan originations. Service Revenue for the
Financial Services segment increased slightly, driven by stabilized performance in unsecured asset
recovery and improved performance in our customer relationship management business. Technology
Services revenue declined sequentially as expected due to the previously mentioned billing
methodology change.
Our revenues are seasonal. More specifically, Financial Services revenue tends to be highest 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 winter months and highest during summer
months.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of Revenue principally includes payroll and employee benefits associated with personnel
employed in customer service roles, fees paid to external providers related to the provision of
services, reimbursable expenses and technology and telephony expenses as well as depreciation and
amortization of operating assets. The components of Cost of Revenue were as follows for the periods
ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

47 | % | 41 | % | ||||||||
Our gross margin percentage increased to 47% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 41% for
the same period in 2010. The increase in gross margin results from the composition of revenue
being more weighted towards Mortgage Services which has higher margins. Sequentially, gross
margins remained flat to fourth quarter as a decline in Mortgage Services segment margins, as a
result of the mix and timing of services, was offset by improved margins in Financial Services.
Compensation and Benefits costs was impacted by investments in personnel to support our suite of
default oriented services and Ocwens residential loan portfolio growth. In addition, during the
first quarter 2011, we principally invested in personnel for new services including title insurance
and fulfillment services. We expect these modest investments to continue in the second quarter.
Outside Fees and Services primarily increased in our Mortgage Services segment consistent with
greater revenues including those related to our new services when compared to the same period in
2010. Sequentially, outsides fees and services declined principally driven by the reduction in
valuation reports delivered in the first quarter 2011 versus fourth quarter 2010.
Technology and Communication costs were relatively flat from the same period in 2010 as increases
related to the new data center were generally offset by other cost reduction initiatives.
Sequentially, technology and communication costs declined due principally to lower telephony
expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses include payroll, employee benefits, occupancy and
other costs associated with personnel employed in executive, sales, marketing, human resources and
finance roles. This category also includes professional fees, depreciation and amortization on
non-operating assets. The components of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses were as

Our operating margin percentage increased to 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2011
primarily as a result of the composition of our revenues being more weighted towards our higher
margin Mortgage Services segment. Sequentially, operating margins were relatively flat as declines
in Mortgage Services attributable to revenue declines previously discussed were offset by
improvements at Financial Services, which included a goodwill impairment charge in the fourth
quarter of 2010.
Compensation and Benefits increased compared to the prior year primarily as we built out our
support functions such as accounting, legal and human resources throughout 2010.
Professional Services were relatively flat compared to the prior year.
Occupancy Related Costs increased as compared to 2010 due to the growth in our business which
resulted in the addition of approximately 1,000 people worldwide.
Amortization of Intangible Assets increased slightly as a result of the intangibles acquired in
connection with the acquisition of MPA in February 2010.

On a consolidated basis, income before income tax attributable to Altisource grew principally as a
result of the national rollout of mortgage services and the growth of Ocwens servicing portfolio
during 2010 as previously discussed. Sequentially, income before income taxes attributable to
Altisource grew $2.2 million; however, the fourth quarter included a $2.8 million charge for
goodwill impairment in the Financial Services segment. Adjusting for the impairment charge, income
before income taxes attributable to Altisource as a percent of Service Revenue remained constant at
23% for both quarters.
For the Mortgage Services segment, income before income taxes attributable to Altisource declined
sequentially by $0.8 million attributable to the decline in Service Revenue as previously
discussed. Income before income taxes attributable to Altisource as a percent of Service Revenue
improved to 40% from 39% sequentially primarily as a result of the mix of services and a reduction
in intersegment technology charges.
For the Financial Services segment, income before income taxes improved $4.7 million sequentially
primarily due to the $2.8 million goodwill impairment recognized in the fourth quarter and the
benefit of a seasonally strong first quarter. In addition, the Financial Services segment also
started to see the initial benefits of disciplined floor management and improved performance for
our customers. Technology costs for the Financial Services segment increased sequentially;
however, this is expected to improve in the second half of 2011 as we implement certain cost
containment measures.

For the Technology Services segment, income before income taxes declined $1.2 million sequentially,
principally as a result of the reduced pricing for IT infrastructure services as previously
discussed.
Corporate costs increased $0.6 million principally due to increased costs associated with
compliance and quality assurance, including related hiring costs, to support our growing business.
Income Tax Provision
The Company recognized an income tax provision of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
2011 representing an effective tax rate of 9%. The income tax provision computed by applying the
Luxembourg statutory tax rate of 28.9% 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.
SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following section provides a discussion of pre-tax results of operations of our business
segments for the three months ended March 31, 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 REAL products from our Technology Services 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.

Our Mortgage Services segment continues to be the primary driver of growth. 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.
We expect to fund our remaining investment in Correspondent One during the second quarter.
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.
Sequentially, Mortgage Services revenues declined principally due to two factors. First, fourth
quarter revenues were positively impacted due to the boarding of loans by Ocwen in September. This
triggered an elevated level of valuation reports utilized by Ocwen to determine the appropriate
course of action for the loans and an elevated level of foreclosure title searches and initiated
foreclosure actions. Although the boarding of these loans did ultimately lead to an increase in
referrals for various Mortgage Services businesses, we recognize revenue for these referrals over
an extended period of time or when the homes sell. Given the seasonal nature of home sales, we
would expect Asset Management Services revenues to significantly increase in the second and third
quarters. Second, MPA was impacted by the overall market decline in loan origination activity
experienced in the first quarter. Partially offsetting these declines was growth in our insured
title business following the receipt of title agent licenses in California and the continued
development of our title agent services in other states. We expect to continue to ramp up the
title insurance agency business 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 and increases in Ocwens loan portfolio are the reasons for the significant
growth compared to the prior year period. Sequentially, Service Revenue for this segment
increased as a result of the growth in Ocwens loan portfolio and an increase in REO properties
disposed when compared to the prior period. |
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 quarter in 2011 as compared to a partial period in 2010
from the date of acquisition. Sequentially, revenue declined as a result of the general decline
in the loan origination market which impacted MPAs results. For the quarter, MPA added six
members. |
Residential Property Valuation. The first quarter of 2011 was higher than first quarter 2010 as
a result of Ocwens residential loan portfolio growth. As previously discussed, sequentially we
saw a decline in revenues due to the elevated fourth quarter 2010 impact of loans boarded by
Ocwen in September 2010. |
Closing and Title Services. During 2011, we are focused on rolling out insured title services
nationwide, similar to what we accomplished with our REO closing business in 2010 which explains
increase year over year. Sequentially, revenues slightly declined as the growth in insured
title agency products was insufficient to offset the elevated title search revenues in the
fourth quarter caused by the boarding of loans by Ocwen in September 2010. We expect closing
and title services to significantly grow throughout the year as we expand our insured title
agency offerings. |

Default Management Services. This group includes support services whereby we provide non-legal
back-office support for foreclosure, bankruptcy and eviction attorneys as well as foreclosure
trustee services. The first quarter of 2011 was higher than the first quarter of 2010 as a
result of our continued rollout of a national platform as well as Ocwens servicing portfolio
growth. Sequentially, we saw a decrease in revenues during the first quarter primarily due to
elevated foreclosure referrals in the fourth quarter following Ocwens boarding of additional
loans in September. |

As discussed above, Customer Relationship Management now includes certain services that were
originally recorded as part of Mortgage Services.
Financial Services revenue declined compared to the prior year due to a decline in revenue from the
segments largest customer. The decline was in part as a result of the client shifting work to the
Companys global delivery platform which resulted in lower revenue although higher margins. This
decline was partially offset by growth in new asset recovery management accounts and growth in
customer relationship management revenues. Sequentially, revenue grew $0.8 million, or 5%,
primarily due to the seasonality of collections.
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 year growth as well as margin improvement.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)
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 revenues associated with contingency collections declined when
compared to the first quarter of 2010 due to a decline in revenues from our largest customer.
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 and as a result of
collector performance. 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 revenues with customer relationship management increased
year over year as a result of increased services to two key customers. We expect revenues to be
flat or decrease in the second quarter due to customer requirements offset in part by
seasonality. |

is compensation and benefits for our collectors. Personnel costs declined when compared to the
prior year as a result of expanding our global delivery footprint while rationalizing higher cost
locations. This was partially offset by higher technology costs.

The primary focus of the Technology Services segment 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 rate card 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.

IT Infrastructure Services. Our IT infrastructure services revenues declined when compared to
the comparable period in 2010 almost entirely due to our change in pricing for infrastructure
services. The mark-ups are based upon economic studies performed consistent with our transfer
pricing methodology. We expect revenues to be consistent or down in future periods as we focus
on reducing costs both internally and for Ocwen. |

Corporate costs rose throughout 2010 as we invested in staff to support our growing operations. In
the first quarter, we hired additional resource principally focused on legal, compliance and
quality assurance. In addition, 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.

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.
On May 19, 2010, our shareholders authorized us to purchase up to 3.8 million shares of our common
stock in the open market. Through March 31, 2011, we purchased 0.9 million shares of our common
stock on the open market at an average price of $27.85, leaving 2.9 million shares still available
for purchase.
Cash Flows
The following table presents our cash flows for the three months ended March 31:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities consists of two components including (i) net income adjusted
for depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash items and (ii) working capital. In the
first quarter of 2011, we generated $16.6 million in positive cash flow from operations. 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 a decline in working
capital. The decline in working capital was due to the timing of services incurred at year-end and
the associated payments to vendors as well as the payment of incentive compensation.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
The most significant use of cash flow for investing activities in the first quarter of 2011 was the
purchase of equipment and technology as well as external consulting costs associated with our
Technology Services initiatives. Our cash flow from investing activities in 2010 includes the
acquisition of MPA for which the purchase consideration included $29.0 million in cash. In
addition, in first quarter 2011 we invested approximately $1.1 million in Correspondent One to
facilitate the establishment of this business. We currently expect capital expenditures in 2011 to
be consistent with 2010 levels as we expect to ramp up our development costs related to REALSuite.
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 from financing activities as a result of
our stock repurchase program.
Liquidity Requirements after March 31, 2011
During the second quarter of 2011, we expect to distribute $1.3 million to non-controlling
interests; $1.7 million for the Springhouse acquisition and $14.0 million to fund our remaining
commitment to Correspondent One.

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 sufficient to fund current operations as well as expansion
of our operations, we require very limited capital. Were we to need additional capital, we believe
we have adequate access to both debt and equity capital markets.
Commitments and Contingencies
For details of these transactions, see Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
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, revenues 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 first quarter of 2011.
OTHER MATTERS
Related Party Ocwen
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, approximately $44 million of the Mortgage Services,
$0.03 million of the Financial Services and $5.0 million of the Technology Services segment
revenues 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 market rates.
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, Altisource billed Ocwen $0.4 million, and Ocwen billed
Altisource $0.3 million for services provided under the Transition Services Agreement. These
amounts are reflected as a component of Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 March
31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting. |
