NOTES TO COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)
NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SEPARATION
Description of Business
Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.à r.l. (Altisource or the Company), together with its
subsidiaries, provides real estate mortgage portfolio management and related technology products
and asset recovery and customer relationship management services. Altisource was 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 is planned to be converted into Altisource
Portfolio Solutions S.A. (Restructuring). Altisource filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on May 13, 2009 (the Registration Statement) and
has applied to list its common stock on the The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC under the symbol ASPS.
Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, Altisource, we, us,
our and the Company refer to Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.à r.l., a Luxembourg private
limited liability company, and its subsidiaries.
We manage our operations through three reportable segments: Through our Mortgage Services
business, we provide residential mortgage origination and default management services including due
diligence, underwriting, valuation, real estate sales, default processing services, property
inspection and preservation services, homeowner outreach, closing and title services and knowledge
process outsourcing services. Through our Financial Services business, we provide asset recovery
management and customer relationship management primarily to the financial services, consumer
products, telecommunications and utilities industries. Through our Technology Products business, we
provide technology products and services to the mortgage industry including our REAL suite of
applications that provide production applications and support to servicing and origination
businesses.
Basis of Presentation
The combined consolidated financial statements present the historical results of operations,
assets and liabilities attributable to the Altisource businesses. These financial statements have
been prepared on a carve-out basis from Ocwen Financial Corporation (Ocwen or Parent) and,
because a direct ownership relationship did not exist among the various units comprising the
Altisource business, combine and do not consolidate Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.à r.l. and its
subsidiaries with Ocwens wholly-owned subsidiaries NCI Holdings, Inc. (NCI); Nationwide Credit,
Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of NCI); Premium Title Services, Inc., REALHome Services and
Solutions, Inc.; Portfolio Management Outsourcing Solutions, LLC; and Western Progressive Trustee
LLC. Once Ocwen contributes the subsidiaries to Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.à r.l., these
financial statements will be presented on a consolidated and not combined basis. Per share data
have not been presented since these financial statements are prepared on a combined basis.
Within these financial statements, entities that are part of Ocwens consolidated results of
operations, but are not part of Altisource as defined above, are referred to as related entities.
These combined consolidated financial statements also reflect the capital structures of the each of
the combined subsidiaries.
These combined consolidated financial statements also include allocations of expenses from
Ocwen. Ocwen currently provides certain corporate functions to Altisource, including business
insurance, medical insurance and employee benefit plan expenses and allocations for certain
centralized administration costs for executive management, treasury, real estate, accounting,
auditing, tax, risk management, internal audit, human resources and benefits administration. We
determined these allocations using proportional cost allocation methods including the use of
relevant operating profit, fixed assets, sales and payroll measurements. Specifically, personnel
and all associated costs, including compensation, benefits, occupancy and other costs, are
allocated based on the estimated percentage of time spent by the individual in the various
departments. External costs such as audit fees, legal fees, business insurance and other are
allocated based on a combination of the sales, fixed assets and operating profits of the
department, whichever is most appropriate given the nature of the expense.
The Company eliminates from its financial results all intercompany transactions between
entities included in the combination. The combined consolidated financial statements may not be
indicative of the Companys future performance and do not necessarily reflect what its combined
consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had the
Company operated as an independent company during the periods
6
ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.à r.l.
NOTES TO COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)
presented. For instance, Altisource
expects to incur costs in excess of those allocated by Ocwen for maintaining a
separate Board of Directors, obtaining a separate audit, relocating certain executive
management and hiring additional personnel to operate separate from Ocwen. The charges for these
functions are included primarily in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the combined
consolidated statements of operations. In addition, Ocwen has allocated interest expense to us
based upon our portion of assets to Ocwens total assets which is reflected as Interest expense
in the combined consolidated statements of operations. Management believes such allocations are
reasonable; however, they may not be indicative of the actual expense that would have been incurred
had the Company been operating as an independent company for the periods presented. To the extent
that an asset, liability, revenue or expense is directly associated with the Company, it is
reflected in the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements.
We have prepared our combined 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
combined 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 combined 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
combined consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our
combined consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our combined
consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2008 contained in our
Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the SEC.
Separation
In November 2008, the Board of Directors of Ocwen authorized the pursuit of a plan to
separate, through a tax free spin-off, the majority of the operations of the knowledge process
outsourcing business currently known as the Ocwen Solutions business, into a separate public
company (the Separation). As of the date of the Separation Ocwen will contribute to Altisource
the business operations of Ocwen not already included in Altisource. Altisource also has business
operations that will remain with Ocwen after the Separation, and we will distribute those
operations to Ocwen as of the date of the Separation. The operations of BMS Holdings, Inc., an
equity investment which Ocwen refers to as BMS, and Global Servicing Solutions, LLC, a majority
owned consolidated investment which Ocwen refers to as GSS, will remain with Ocwen after the
Separation. As the operations of these businesses are not similar to our business, are managed and
financed autonomously and do not share common offices with Altisource, we have excluded them from
these combined consolidated financial statements. We intend for the Separation to be tax-free for
United States federal income tax purposes. The Separation is subject to certain conditions
including but not limited to confirmation of the tax-free treatment of the spin-off, necessary
regulatory approvals, any required lender counterparty consents and final approval by the Ocwen
Board of Directors.
In connection with the Separation, Ocwen will distribute all of the Altisource common stock to
Ocwens shareholders (the Distribution). Ocwens stockholders will receive one share of
Altisource common stock for every three shares of Ocwen common stock held as of the date of the
Separation (the Separation Date). Altisource and Ocwen also will enter into various agreements
that address the allocation of assets and liabilities between them and that define their
relationship after the Separation including a separation agreement, a tax matters agreement, an
employee matters agreement, an intellectual property agreement, a data center and disaster recovery
agreement, a transition services agreement and certain long-term servicing contracts (collectively,
the Agreements). Assuming final approvals are obtained, Ocwen currently is targeting a Separation
Date in the third quarter of 2009.
Foreign Currency Translation
Where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, we translate assets and liabilities of
foreign entities into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange existing at the balance sheet
date and revenues and expenses at average monthly rates. We include the resulting translation
adjustments as a component of invested equity. Where the
7
ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.à r.l.
NOTES TO COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)
functional currency of a foreign entity is
the U.S. dollar, re-measurement adjustments are included in the results of operations. Such
adjustments were not material for any period presented.
NOTE 2 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 (R), Business Combinations a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 141(SFAS No. 141(R)). SFAS No. 141(R) modifies certain
elements of the acquisition method of accounting used for all business combinations. The statement
requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at the full amounts of
their fair values, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. If the business combination
is achieved in stages (a step acquisition), an acquirer also is required to recognize the
identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the
full amounts of their fair values. The statement requires the acquirer to recognize restructuring
and acquisition costs separately from the business combination. The statement also requires the
disclosure of information necessary to understand the nature and effect of the business
combination. This guidance was amended further by FASB Staff Position (FSP) no. FAS 141(R)-1,
Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from
Contingencies that was issued in April 2009. The FSP requires that contingences acquired in a
business combination be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be
reasonably estimated during the allocation period. The FSP also require that an acquirer disclose
information that enables users of its financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial
effects of a business combination that occurs either during the current reporting period or after
the reporting period but before the financial statements are issued. The adoption of SFAS No.
141(R) and the related FSP on January 1, 2009 did not have an impact on our combined consolidated
balance sheets or statements of operations.
SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an Amendment of
ARB No. 51. The FASB issued SFAS No. 160 on December 4, 2007. The statement establishes new
accounting and reporting standards for a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a
non-controlling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements
separate from the invested equity. The amount of net income attributable to the non-controlling
interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. The
statement clarifies that changes in a parents ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not
result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial
interest. In addition, when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, this statement requires that a parent
recognize a gain or loss in net income based on the fair value of the entire entity, irrespective
of any retained ownership, on the deconsolidation date. Such a gain or loss will be measured using
the fair value of the non-controlling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. The adoption
of SFAS No. 160 on January 1, 2009 did not have an impact on our combined consolidated balance
sheets or statements of operations.
SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. The FASB issued SFAS No. 165 on May 28, 2009. The statement
introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued and requires the
disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for
that date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company
has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the implementation of SFAS No. 165 will have on its
combined consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Altisource historically has conducted business with Ocwen and its subsidiaries. Concurrent
with the Separation, we will enter into a transition services agreement under which Ocwen will
provide to Altisource, and vice versa, certain short term transition services, such as human
resources, vendor management, corporate services, six sigma, quality assurance, quantitative
analytics, treasury, accounting, risk management, legal, strategic planning, compliance and other
areas. These agreements will go into effect at the time provided in such agreements.
We recorded the revenues we earned from Ocwen based on our expectations of costs for providing
such services in our historical results of operations for all periods up to the end of the first
quarter of 2008. We recorded

NOTES TO COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands)
the revenues we earned from Ocwen since the beginning of the second
quarter of 2008 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 being charged by our competitors. This change
resulted in additional revenues of approximately $664 in the first quarter of 2009 than we would
have recorded under our former cost-based method. These revised rates are materially consistent
with the rates we will charge Ocwen under the various long-term servicing contracts into which we
will enter in connection with the Separation.

Due from affiliates
Historically, Ocwen has managed the majority of the consolidated companys financing
activities centrally in order to optimize its costs of funding and financial flexibility at a
corporate level. In March 2009, Ocwen borrowed $4,700 from an Altisource subsidiary on a short-term
basis with interest based on LIBOR plus one percent. We reflect this balance in Due from affiliates
in our combined consolidated balance sheet as Ocwens intent when the loan was initiated was to
repay the amount within 90 days of originating the loan. Ocwen repaid the amount in full in May
2009.
Allocation of Corporate Costs
We have recorded the costs of certain services that Ocwen has provided to the Company in these
financial statements including charges for services such as business insurance, medical insurance
and employee benefit plan expenses and allocations for certain centralized administration costs for
treasury, real estate, accounting, auditing, tax, risk management, internal audit, human resources
and benefits administration. Ocwen determined these allocations of centralized administration costs
using proportional cost allocation methods including use of relevant operating profit, fixed
assets, sales and payroll measurements. We include allocated costs in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the combined consolidated statements of operations and within invested
equity in the combined consolidated balance sheets. The allocation of corporate costs was $1,943
and $2,192 for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively. These costs
represent managements allocation of the costs incurred. However, these amounts may not be
representative of the costs necessary for the Company to operate as a separate standalone company.
We reflect costs paid by Ocwen on behalf of the Company in net transfers to parent in the
combined consolidated statements of stockholders equity.

(Dollars in thousands)
In July 2008, NCI entered into a revolving secured credit agreement with a financial
institution that provides for borrowings of up to $10,000 through July 2011. Interest on the
borrowings is based on either a rate of LIBOR plus
two percent that is fixed for a period of 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, or a floating rated based on
the prime rate less one percent, all as elected by NCI when the borrowing is made. All borrowings
outstanding on December 31, 2008 were floating rate advances with an interest rate of 2.25%. No
borrowings were outstanding on March 31, 2009. Substantially all of NCIs assets, which comprise
substantially all of the assets in our Financial Services segment, are pledged as collateral for
this credit agreement. The agreement limits these borrowings to 85% of eligible accounts
receivable, as defined in the agreement. The agreement contains financial covenants that reset
annually and that require minimum adjusted pre-tax income levels for NCI as defined in the
agreement that primarily require NCI to maintain a positive adjusted pre-tax income. We are in
compliance with all financial covenants.
In February 2009, we amended the agreement to make favorable modifications to the financial
covenants for 2009 and agreed to increase the interest rate on the floating rate advances to prime
plus 1.25%. On June 23, 2009 the Company terminated the agreement. There were no borrowings
outstanding on the line of credit since the Company repaid the balance in full in January 2009.
NOTE 5 BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING
Our business segments reflect the internal reporting that we use to evaluate operating
performance and to assess the allocation of our resources by our chief operating decision maker.
Our segments are based upon our organizational structure which focuses primarily on the products
and services offered.
We conduct our operations through three reporting segments and corporate. A brief description
of our business segments are as follows:
Mortgage Services includes due diligence, valuation, real estate sales, default processing
services, property inspection and preservation services, homeowner outreach, closing and title
services and knowledge process outsourcing services. Mortgage Services supports mortgage
originators and servicers, insurance companies, hedge funds and commercial banks. Our services span
the lifecycle of a mortgage loan from origination through the disposition of real estate owned
properties.
Financial Service provides asset recovery and customer relationship management services
principally to the financial services, consumer products, telecommunications and utilities
industries.
Technology Products consists of products and services utilized in the mortgage industry
including our REAL suite of applications that provide technology products to serve the needs of
servicing and origination businesses. Our offerings include commercial and residential loan
servicing and loss mitigation software, vendor management and a patented vouchless payable system
and information technology solutions to manage and oversee payments to large-scale vendor networks.
Corporate Items and Other. For the periods reported here, we have included only intercompany
eliminations in Corporate Items and Other. Ocwen allocated interest income and expense to each
business segment for funds raised or funding of investments made. Ocwen also allocated expenses
generated by corporate support services to each business segment.

NOTE 6 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
We have filed suit against a former equipment vendor seeking revocation of acceptance of the
equipment and damages for breaches of implied warranties and related torts. Separately, we are
party to a pending arbitration brought by the vendor seeking payment of annual support and
maintenance fees for periods subsequent to when we returned the equipment to the vendor. The vendor
also is requesting payment of discounts it provided to us purportedly to be a marketing partner for
the vendor. In total, the former vendor is seeking damages of approximately $3,100. We believe that
the vendors claims against us are without merit and intend to defend vigorously against this
matter while at the same time pursue our claims against this vendor.
Altisource is subject to various other pending legal proceedings. In our opinion, the
resolution of the matter above and those other proceedings will not have a material effect on our
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Taxation
We intend for the Distribution to be a tax-free transaction under Section 355 of
the Code. However, Ocwen will recognize, and pay tax on,
substantially all the gain it has in the assets that comprise
Altisource as a result of the Restructuring. If the Distribution were
not to qualify as a tax-free transaction, Ocwen may not recognize
substantial taxable gain because most, if not all, of such gain would
already have been recognized pursuant to the Restructuring of
Altisource. Altisource has agreed to indemnify Ocwen for certain tax
liabilities.

On June 5, 2009 the Company completed the conversion of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.à

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Interim Combined Consolidated
Financial Statements and the related notes, included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report of Form
10-Q and with our Registration Statement on Form 10 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 13, 2009.
The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current
expectations, which are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Our actual results may
differ materially from the expectations due to changes in global, political, economic, business,
competitive and market factors many of which are beyond our control. See Forward-Looking
Statements included later in this Item 2.
All dollar amounts not related to compensation are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.
We have not presented actual per share data since Altisource was included within Ocwen during all

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
OVERVIEW
Altisource provides real estate mortgage portfolio management and technology products, asset
recovery and customer relationship management services.
We believe our competitive advantage is the ability to manage high value, knowledge-based job
functions with our global platform while reducing operating variability. In general, we utilize
integrated technology solutions that include pre-determined call scripts for our customer service
personnel based on psychological principles and decision models. We operate our technology
platforms to manage large scale distributed networks of vendors. This allows our customers to
improve their business processes while reducing costs. Along with expanding our use of integrated
technology solutions, a central tenet to our strategy is a focus on selling output or solutions
(the number of units we produce or manage on behalf of our client), thereby enabling us to convert
operational efficiency gains into higher margins and profitability per employee.
We manage our operations through three reporting segments: Mortgage Services, Financial
Services and Technology Products.
Mortgage Services provides due diligence, valuation, real estate sales, default processing
services, property inspection and preservation services, homeowner outreach, closing and title
services and knowledge process outsourcing services. Our services span the lifecycle of a mortgage
loan from origination through the disposition of real estate owned properties (REO).
Financial Services comprises our asset recovery management and customer relationship
management offerings to the financial services, consumer products, telecommunications and utilities
industries. We specialize in, and our primary source of revenues for this segment is, contingency
collections and customer relationship management for credit card issuers and other consumer credit
providers.
Technology Products is responsible for the design, development and delivery of technology
products and services to the mortgage industry, including our REAL suite of applications that
provide technology products to serve the needs of servicing and origination businesses. Our
offerings include residential and commercial loan servicing and loss mitigation software, vendor
management and a patented vouchless payable system to manage and oversee payments to large-scale
vendor networks and information technology services. We build all of our technology platforms to
be scalable, highly secure, flexible, standards-based and web connected. Standards and web
connectivity ensure that our customers find our products easy to use. Further, we bring new
products to market quickly because of the investments that we made in integrating our technology.
Separation from Ocwen
In November 2008, the Board of Directors of Ocwen authorized management to pursue a
reorganization of a number of predominantly non-U.S. operations including its knowledge process
outsourcing business to be known as Altisource. On the Separation Date, we will distribute all of
the shares of Altisource common stock to Ocwens shareholders in a tax-free distribution. Ocwens
shareholders will receive one share of Altisource common stock for every three shares of Ocwen
common stock they hold on the Record Date. Upon the Separation, Altisource will no longer be part
of Ocwen.
In connection with the Separation, we and Ocwen will enter into a Separation Agreement as well
as certain other agreements to govern the terms of the separation and certain ongoing relationships
between Ocwen and us subsequent to the separation. These agreements include a Transition Services
Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, Intellectual Property Agreement,
Services Agreement, Technology Products Services Agreement and Data Center and Disaster Recovery
Services Agreement. These related party agreements are more fully described in the Interim Combined
Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this Quarterly
Report.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
Our historical combined consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses directly attributable to our operations carved out of the historical
operations of Ocwens consolidated financial statements. Our historical financial statements also
reflect allocations of corporate expenses from Ocwen based on use, percentage of time or other
methodologies management believes appropriate for such expenses. These corporate expenses
primarily reflect an allocation to us of a portion of the compensation and related costs of certain
senior officers and other personnel of Ocwen who will not be our employees after the Separation but
who historically provided services to us.
The historical financial statements included in this information statement may not be
indicative of our future performance as a separate company following the Separation and do not
necessarily reflect what our financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have
been had we operated as a separate, stand-alone public entity during the periods presented. As part
of Ocwen, we share certain corporate functions with Ocwen and Ocwen allocates a portion of its
expenses to us to reflect our share of such expenses. We expect to enter into a Transition Services
Agreement with Ocwen under which we and Ocwen will continue to share resources and provide services
to each other on a fully allocated cost basis for up to two years. These services will include such
services as human resources, vendor management, corporate services, six sigma activities, quality
assurance, quantitative analytics, treasury, accounting, risk management, legal, strategic
planning, compliance and other services. Given that these services will be at fully allocated cost,
we expect that our costs will be approximately equal before and immediately after the Separation.
However, we will transition from receiving such services from Ocwen over the next two years, which likely will increase the
overall costs that we incur as we no longer will benefit from the economies of scale we generated
as part of a larger organization and likely will have duplication of functions that would not be
necessary if we were to remain a part of the Ocwen organization. We expect to incur between $2,000
and $4,000 per year of other expenses as a result of being a separate publicly traded company that
are not reflected in our historical financial statements as more fully described in our
Registration Statement on Form 10.
We generated 40.1% of our revenues in 2008 and 47.3% of our revenues in the first quarter of
2009 from Ocwen businesses not included in the Separation or from providing services derived from
Ocwens loan servicing portfolio. We anticipate that Ocwen will continue to be a significant
customer for Altisource for the foreseeable future. We currently provide these services at rates
that we consider to be market-based. We expect that the prices that we will charge for these
services beginning with the Separation Date will be determined pursuant to these services
agreements, which are subject to revision at specified intervals. If market conditions change and
we are required to provide services to Ocwen at below market rates, we could experience decreased
earnings and cash flows as well as greater variability in our performance compared to our
historical results.
The assets and liabilities assigned to us pursuant to the Separation Agreement are accounted
for at the historical book values of such assets and liabilities. Prior to the Separation, Ocwen
centrally manages the cash flows generated from our various activities.

Mortgage Services principally generates revenue by providing professional outsourced services
that span the cycle of a mortgage loan. Although we provide services related to both mortgage
originations and mortgage default
16
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
services, our revenues are subject to fluctuation based on
prevailing market conditions. Revenues relating to mortgage originations declined from the first
quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2009 due to the decline in mortgage originations in the
overall market. We anticipated this change and began in 2008 to develop new services relating to
mortgage default management including property inspection and property preservation, closing and
title services and default processing services. Revenues from these new services more than offset
the decline in origination-related services in the first quarter of 2009, resulting in an overall
increase in revenues of 16.4% for Mortgage Services.
Financial Services revenues declined 11.2% from the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter
of 2009 due primarily to lower collection rates from obligors on the debt. We experienced declining
collection rates throughout 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. We believe this decline is
reflective of the current economic climate and is consistent with the collections industry in
general.
Technology Products revenues increased slightly over the first quarter of 2008 due primarily
to a change in our billings to Ocwen and inter-segment charges from a cost-based method to a
market-based rate card in the second quarter of 2008. Under the cost-based method, we based our
billings to Ocwen and our inter-segment charges on our expectation of costs for providing such
services. We performed these cost-based billings on overall expectations of how we would allocate
our resources with limited changes to reflect actual costs. Our market-based rate cards include
charges for specific functions or services that we provide that are at rates that we believe
approximate what market participants would charge in arms-length transactions. We establish the
rates based on specific functions such as the number of loans processed on the Altisource licensed
system or the number of employees that are using the applicable systems. We bill for these services
on a monthly basis, and the billings change monthly based on activity levels. We change the rates
periodically based on changes we identify in the market, but generally maintain consistent rates
from month to month. This change resulted in approximately $664 of additional revenues in the first
quarter of 2009 than we would have recorded under the cost-based method. We believe these rates 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 being charged by our
competitors. These revised rates are materially consistent with the rates we will charge Ocwen
under the various long-term servicing contracts into which we will enter in connection with the
Separation.
We intend to cross-sell our mortgage services and technology products going forward and doing
so should increase the overall value we provide to our customers as well as improve our
profitability.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue includes: (i) payroll and employee benefits associated with personnel employed
in customer service roles; (ii) fees paid to external providers of valuation, title, due diligence
and other outsourcing services, as well as printing and mailing costs for correspondence with
debtors; and (iii) technology and telephone expenses as well as depreciation and amortization of
operating assets.
Cost of revenue decreased 5.6% in the first quarter of 2009 compared to a 0.2% increase in
revenues. Our gross profit grew 13.5% to $14,616 in 2009. These improvements relate primarily to
Mortgage Services, in which we leveraged our workforce, our proprietary processes and the imbedded
technology to increase our gross margins. Gross profit also benefited from the change in our
Technology Products billings as noted above. The positive changes in these two segments outweighed
the decrease in gross margin within Financial Services that primarily resulted from the lower
collection rates we experienced in the first quarter of 2009.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $89 or 1.2% in the first quarter of
2009, relating primarily to Mortgage Services. As we increased the number of service offerings, we
also increased the overhead associated with them.
Income from Operations and Income Before Income Taxes
17
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
We improved income from operations by 30.2% and income before income taxes by 35.1% in the
first quarter of 2009 due primarily to the gross profit increases generated and the minimal
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision was $2,080 in the first quarter of 2009 and $1,354 in the first quarter
of 2008, an increase of 53.6%. Our effective tax rate was 31.9% in the first quarter of 2009 and
28.1% in the first quarter of 2008. Income tax provision on income before income tax differs from
amounts that would be computed by applying the Luxembourg federal corporate income tax rate of
28.6% primarily because of the effect of differing tax rates outside of Luxembourg, indefinite
deferral on earnings of non-U.S. affiliates and additional foreign income taxes. The additional
non-U.S. foreign income taxes were the primary reason for the increase in our effective tax rate
between periods.

Transactions between segments primarily consist of information technology infrastructure
services and charges for the use of certain REAL products from our Technology Products segment to
our other two segments. Generally, we reflect these charges within cost of revenue in the segment
receiving the services, except for consulting services, which we reflect in selling, general and
administrative expenses. All material inter-segment transactions are eliminated.

Revenues
In our Mortgage Services segment, we generate the majority of our revenue by providing
outsourced services that span the lifecycle of a mortgage loan. 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 and lending institutions and provide products
that enhance their ability to make informed investment decisions and manage their core operations.
Our total revenues improved by $2,499 or 16.4% in the first quarter of 2009. While our legacy
products, including valuation, pre-foreclosure title services and mortgage due diligence have
declined, we offset these changes by increasing the array and geographical range of the mortgage
and default services that we provide to originators and servicers. These services include default
processing, property inspection and preservation, homeowner outreach, real estate sales and
post-foreclosure title services. We anticipate that we will continue to grow our revenues from
these new products in each successive quarter of 2009.
Cost of revenue
Our revenues increased by 16.4% and our cost of revenues increased by 0.2% in the first
quarter of 2009 as compared to 2008, resulting in a 51.7% increase in gross profit for Mortgage
Services. This improvement is due primarily to improvements in our processes relating to order
placements with subcontractors that enabled us to deliver our services more timely while also
lowering the fees we pay to the subcontractors. We anticipate that we will continue to benefit from
these cost savings throughout 2009.

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 4.7% in the first quarter of 2009
due primarily to the 2008 quarter including a reversal of a portion of the provision for bad debts
due to collections made in the quarter as well as $225 of inter-segment consulting fees paid to our
Technology Products segment.
Income from operations and Income before income taxes
Income from operations increased $2,406 or 76.0% in the first quarter of 2009. Income before
income taxes increased by $2,421 or 77.2% in the same period. These changes resulted from the
growth in revenue with corresponding smaller increases in cost of revenue and other expenses.

Revenues
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. Revenues declined by 11.2% in the
first quarter of 2009 as compared to the first quarter of 2008 due to lower collection rates that
we experienced and which we believe are due to the current economic climate and are consistent with
the collections industry in general.
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue declined 4.7% in the quarter due primarily to a reduction of our compensation
and benefits costs. We aggressively reduced the number of collectors beginning in the fourth
quarter of 2008, and continued these efforts in the first quarter of 2009. However, we experienced
an increase in account placements and we are attempting to collect on more accounts for our
customers. We have limited ability to reduce certain collection
related costs such as letters to debtors and telephone charges, resulting in our costs not
decreasing at the same rate as our revenues. We continue to analyze our cost structure and intend
to manage our costs in anticipation of low collection rates through the remainder of 2009.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 3.8% in the first quarter of 2009
primarily due to reductions we made in our compensation relating to support functions. We acquired
NCI in June 2007 and fully integrated its operations during 2008, allowing us to eliminate
duplicate costs and reduce our overall costs. As with our collection costs, we plan to continue
managing our selling, general and administrative costs through the remainder of 2009.
(Loss) income from operations and (Loss) income before income taxes
We incurred losses in the current quarter compared to income in the quarter ended March 31,
2008 due to the lower collection rates that impacted NCI individually and the collections industry
in general. We lowered our compensation and other costs and continue to analyze our operations to
identify additional cost savings. We plan to implement additional changes in the second and third
quarters of 2009 in order to improve our results in our Financial Services segment.

Revenues
Our change to a market-based rate card in the second quarter of 2008 resulted in our recording
revenues of approximately $664 more revenue in 2009 than we would have recorded had we continued to
use the cost-based system. Without the impact of this change, our revenues would have decreased by
5.5% due primarily to lower revenues from external customers for our REAL suite as one customer
exited the market and we lowered the price to another customer due to changes in their usage. We
recently renewed an agreement with an existing customer that we anticipate will increase our
revenues with this customer for the remainder of 2009.
21
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
Cost of revenue
Cost of revenue declined 9.2% in the first quarter of 2009 due primarily to lower compensation
costs as we integrated the NCI technology personnel into the existing technology group and
eliminated certain positions. Our technology costs also decreased due to lower depreciation expense
as several assets became fully depreciated in 2008.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 3.0% in the first quarter of 2009 due to
lower travel expenses and lower allocations from Ocwen, partially offset by higher provisions for
bad debts as we collected a significant amount of past due accounts in the first quarter of 2008
and decreased our provision in that quarter.
Income from operations and Income before income taxes
The slight increase in revenues and the decreases in cost of revenue and selling, general and
administrative expenses resulted in an increase in our income from operations of 49.8%. We recorded
inter-segment consulting fees of $225 from our Mortgage Services segment in the 2008 period that
increased our income before income taxes in that period. Without this other income in the 2009
period, our income before income taxes increased 35.9% over the first quarter of 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Management believes our ability to generate cash flow from operations coupled with cash on
hand will be adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements, which principally include operational
expenditures, working capital and capital spending. Management believes that Altisource will have
sufficient cash and other financial resources to fund current operations and meet its obligations
beyond the next twelve months without incurring additional debt. Ocwen intends to contribute cash
to us sufficient to ensure that we have a minimum cash balance of at least $7,000 at the Separation
Date.
Total borrowings, as well as cash as presented in the accompanying historical combined
consolidated financial statements, reflect only those balances we required to operate as a
subsidiary of Ocwen. Historically, Ocwen has managed the majority of the consolidated companys
financing activities centrally in order to optimize its costs of funding and financial flexibility
at a corporate level. In addition, Ocwen has allocated interest expense to us based upon our
portion of assets to Ocwens total assets which has resulted in interest charges reflected on our
combined consolidated statement of operations. These interest charges reflect an allocation and are
not indicative of the interest charge we expect to incur as a separate company.
As a separate company, Altisource intends to employ a disciplined cash policy that seeks first
to maintain a strong balance sheet and second to invest in compelling growth opportunities that
include development of new services, primarily within our Mortgage Services segment, as well as
acquisitions. In most cases, we are able to grow our business organically with little to no
additional capital. In addition, for over 60% of the revenues we earn, we are paid as we provide
the service or within a limited timeframe (i.e., within one week) which minimizes our working
capital requirements and ensures sufficient timely cash flows to fund operations. Furthermore, our
operations generated positive cash flow in each of the past three years and we only required a
contribution from Ocwen in order to acquire NCI in June 2007. We expect to continue to generate
positive cash flow from operations throughout 2009 and in subsequent years.
In June 2009, the Company terminated its existing revolving credit facility after considering
its positive operating cash flows year-to-date and the administrative costs of maintaining the
facility. We continue to believe that the Company has sufficient operating cash flows and, if
necessary, access to debt markets at reasonable costs as well as equity markets (subject to the
limitations described in our Registration Statement on Form 10) to finance our operations for at
least the next twelve months even without this facility.

Cash flow from operations consists of two components including net income adjusted for
depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash items and working capital. We generated
$1,490 in cash flow from operations in the first quarter of 2009, which includes $6,664 in positive
cash flows from operations which primarily reflects our profitability adjusted for non-cash items
in the quarter, offset by a $4,700 advance to an affiliated entity we made as part of Ocwens
centralized cash management function. The entity repaid this advance in the second quarter of 2009,
and we do not anticipate that similar advances will be made in future periods as we are preparing
for the Separation and curtailing our participation in Ocwens centralized cash management
function. In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we generated significant collections on
accounts receivable compared to other quarters, resulting in greater cash flows from operations in
that period.
Our cash flows from investing activities include our purchases of premises and equipment. We
had relatively low purchases in the first quarters of 2009 and 2008 and anticipate based on our
internal forecasts that our purchases will increase in the later quarters of 2009 to be relatively
consistent with the levels of 2008 and 2007.
Our cash flows from financing activities primarily include payments on debt and the net change
in our invested equity balance. We participate in a centralized cash management program with Ocwen.
We made a significant amount of our cash disbursements through centralized payable systems which
were operated by Ocwen, and a significant amount of our cash receipts were received by us and
transferred to centralized accounts maintained by Ocwen. There are no formal financing arrangements
with Ocwen, and we recorded all cash receipts and disbursement activity between Ocwen and us
through invested equity in the combined consolidated balance sheets and as net distributions or
contributions to parent in the combined consolidated statements of invested equity and cash flows
because we consider such amounts to have been contributed by or distributed to Ocwen. The decrease
in the amount of the distribution to Ocwen from the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of
2009 is due to the greater cash flow from operations that we generated in the 2008 period, the
majority of which Ocwen transferred to its own accounts.
Capital Resources
Changes in Financial Condition
Total assets increased by 0.8% in the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to contributions
from Ocwen to NCI and an increase in accounts receivable, substantially offset by reductions due to
accumulated depreciation on premises and equipment in excess of new additions and amortization of
intangible assets with no additions.
Total liabilities decreased by 11.2% in the first quarter of 2009 due primarily to payments we
made on our line of credit and on capital lease obligations.
23
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(continued)
At March 31, 2009, we had $56,913 of invested equity, an increase of $2,426 from December 31,
2008 that primarily was due to income we generated in the quarter.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations consist primarily of our capital lease obligations and operating
leases. We believe that we have adequate resources to meet all contractual obligations as they come
due.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We have prepared our financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These principles are
numerous and complex. We have summarized our significant accounting policies in the notes to our
combined consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 included
in our Registration Statement on Form 10. In many instances, the application of GAAP requires
management to make estimates or to apply subjective principles to particular facts and
circumstances. A variance in the estimates used or a variance in the application or interpretation
of GAAP could yield a materially different accounting result. It is impracticable for us to
summarize every accounting principle that requires us to use judgment or estimates in our
application. Nevertheless, in our Registration Statement on Form 10, we discuss the areas for which
we believe that the estimations, judgments or interpretations that we have made, if different,
would have yielded the most significant differences in our combined consolidated financial
statements. For information regarding significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our combined
consolidated financial statements in our Registration Statement on Form 10.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 3 to our combined
consolidated financial statements in our Registration Statement on Form 10.
OTHER MATTERS
Related Party Ocwen
For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, approximately $14,361 of the Mortgage Services, $5,437
of the Technology Products and $367 of the Financial Services segment revenues were from sales to
Ocwen businesses not included in the Separation or sales derived from Ocwens loan servicing
portfolio. Services provided to Ocwen included residential property valuation, title services, REO
asset management, property inspection and property preservation, core technology back office
support and multiple business technologies including our REAL suite of products. We provided all
services at rates we believe to be comparable to market rates.
We expect to enter into various arrangements with Ocwen in conjunction with the Separation.
These arrangements may involve, or may appear to involve, conflicts of interest. See the detailed
discussion in the Risk Factors and Affiliate Relationships and Related Party Transactions
sections of our Registration Statement on Form 10 for more information about these arrangements.

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 other comparable terminology including, but not limited to the following:
|
|
|
assumptions related to the sources of liquidity and the adequacy of financial resources; |
|
|
|
|
assumptions about our ability to grow our business; |
|
|
|
|
assumptions about our ability to reduce our cost structure; |
|
|
|
|
expectations regarding collection rates in our Financial Services segment; |
|
|
|
|
expectations as to the effect of resolution of pending legal proceedings on our
financial condition; and |
|
|
|
|
estimates regarding our reserves and valuations. |
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of
assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the risks discussed in Risk Factors
in our Registration Statement on Form 10 and the following:
|
|
|
our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers |
|
|
|
|
general economic and market conditions; |
|
|
|
|
governmental regulations, taxes and policies; and |
|
|
|
|
availability of adequate and timely sources of liquidity. |
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and should not be relied
upon. Altisource undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.
25
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK (Dollars in thousands)
Market risk includes risks relating to derivative financial instruments, other financial
instruments and derivative commodity instruments. These risks may be classified as liquidity risk,
interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Following the Separation, the risks related to our business will include certain market risks
that may affect our debt and other financial instruments. In particular, we will face the market
risks associated with interest rate movements on our outstanding debt. We expect to assess market
risks regularly and to establish policies and business practices to protect against the adverse
effects of these exposures.
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in connection with our investment in
non-U.S. dollar functional currency operations to the extent that our foreign exchange positions
remain unhedged. Our operations in Luxembourg, Canada, Uruguay and India expose us to foreign
currency exchange rate risk, but we consider this risk to be insignificant.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies of our Registration Statement on Form 10 for
information regarding legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We include a discussion of the principal risks and uncertainties that affect or could affect
our business operations on pages 11 through 21 of our Registration Statement on Form 10.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Altisource was 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. As of the date of the Separation Ocwen will
contribute to Altisource the business operations intended to constitute the Altisource businesses
that are not already included in Altisource. Altisource also has business operations that will
remain with Ocwen after the Separation, and we will distribute those operations to Ocwen as of the
date of the Separation.
Altisource will enter into a Transition Services Agreement with Ocwen under which we and Ocwen
will provide to each other services in such areas a human resources, vendor management, corporate
services, six sigma, quality assurance, quantitative analytics, treasury, accounting, risk
management, legal, strategic planning, compliance and other areas for up to two years. Each company
will provide such services at fully-allocated cost and management believes that such allocations
will be materially consistent with current cost levels incurred by Altisource as a part of Ocwen.
We have not contemplated any financial impact of this agreement in the following pro forma results
of operations. We do anticipate that we will incur increased costs associated with being a separate
publicly traded company including, but not limited to, maintaining a separate Board of Directors
and obtaining a separate audit as well as changes that we expect in our tax profile, personnel
needs, financing and operations of the contributed business as a result of the Separation from
Ocwen. We also expect to incur costs to relocate certain executives and to grant a limited number
of stock options to executives subsequent to the Separation. We estimate that all of such expenses
will range from $2,000 to $4,000 per year in excess of amounts currently allocated to us by Ocwen
for similar expenses.

At the Separation Date, Ocwen intends to contribute cash to Altisource, if necessary,
such that Altisource has a minimum cash balance of at least $7,000. Although our cash
balance was less than $7,000 at |
|
|
|
March 31, 2009, we did not reflect a pro forma adjustment to reflect such a contribution
because Ocwen repaid the $4,700 amount recorded as Due from affiliates in May 2009. With the
cash from this repayment, we had more than $7,000 of cash and currently do no anticipate
that we will require additional cash from Ocwen as of the Separation Date. Management
believes that a minimum of $7,000 of cash at the Separation Date is sufficient for
Altisource to begin operations and manage its cash needs through cash flows from operations
or from third party borrowing relationships. Management also believes that Altisource will
not loan additional funds to Ocwen or its affiliates prior or immediately subsequent to the
Separation. |
|
(2) |
|
We expect to recapitalize Altisource in connection with the Separation and will cancel
existing share capital and replace it with the new capital structure. |
|
(3) |
|
These amounts represent the contribution of Ocwens invested equity in Altisource into
common stock and additional paid-in capital subsequent to the consummation of the
Separation. The number of outstanding shares shown approximates one-third of the number of
Ocwen shares outstanding as of May 1, 2009. Upon completion of the Separation, the number
of shares of our outstanding common stock will approximate one-third of the number of Ocwen
outstanding shares on that date. |
|

|
If the Separation were to trigger conversion rights under the approximately $56,445 in
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Ocwens 3.25% Contingent Convertible Unsecured
Senior Notes due 2024, additional shares of Altisources common stock may be outstanding as
a result, and, if so, the numbers and percentages listed above would change accordingly.
Conversion rights would be triggered if the value of the Altisource common stock
distributed in the Distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the closing sales
price of the Ocwen common stock on the business day preceding the announcement of the
Separation. We estimate that approximately 1,546,015 additional shares of Altisource common
stock could be issued if these conversion rights were triggered and all of the note holders |

exercised these rights. We are unable to estimate the effects of conversions, if any, and
accordingly they are not reflected in these amounts. |

We reflect an interest charge from Ocwen in other expense which represents an allocation of
Ocwens total interest expense. Ocwen calculated this charge based on our assets in comparison
to Ocwens total assets and was $569 in the first quarter of 2009. After the Separation, Ocwen
and Altisource will operate inherently different business models and Altisource will no longer
be subject to this interest charge from Ocwen. Further, Altisource does not anticipate
incurring any new debt in connection with the Separation for which it will incur interest
expense. |
|
(2) |
|
Unaudited pro forma net earnings per share basic is calculated using one-third of the
number of outstanding shares of Ocwen as of May 1, 2009. Upon completion of the Separation,
the number of shares of our outstanding common stock will approximate one-third of the number
of Ocwen outstanding shares on that date. |
|
(3) |
|
If the Separation were to trigger conversion rights under the approximately $56,445 in
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Ocwens 3.25% Contingent Convertible Unsecured
Senior Notes due 2024, additional shares of Altisources common stock may be outstanding as a
result, and the numbers and percentages listed above might change as a result. Conversion
rights would be triggered if the value of the Altisource common stock distributed in the
Distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the closing sales price of the Ocwen
common stock on the business day preceding the announcement of the Separation. We estimate
that approximately 1,546,015 additional shares of Altisource common stock could be issued if
these conversion rights were triggered and all of the note holders exercised these rights.
The effects of such conversions, if any, are not reflected in these amounts. |
|

|
Unaudited pro forma net earnings per share diluted is calculated using one-third of the
number of dilutive Ocwen common stock equivalents as of March 31, 2009 as we expect the stock
options and stock awards to be converted to Altisource awards. |
