ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to our operations. All significant inter-company and inter-segment transactions and accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The Mortgage Partnership of America, L.L.C. (“MPA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Altisource™, is 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. 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 is the primary beneficiary of Lenders One as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Lenders One’s 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. As of September 30, 2012, Lenders One had total assets of $2.1 million and liabilities of less than $0.1 million.

We have prepared our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented have been included. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on February 16, 2012, 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, are carried at amounts that approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
