FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments and certain liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The following fair values are estimated using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under GAAP:

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at amounts that approximate their fair values due to the highly liquid nature of these instruments and were measured using Level 1 inputs.

The fair value of our SSTL is based on quoted market prices. Based on the frequency of trading, we do not believe that there is an active market for our debt. Therefore, the quoted prices are considered Level 2 inputs.

In connection with the sale of Pointillist on December 1, 2021, $3.5 million was deposited into an escrow account to satisfy certain indemnification claims that may arise on or prior to the first anniversary of the sale closing. The deposit was recorded as a short-term receivable. We measure short-term receivables without a stated interest rate based on the present value of the future payments.

Warrant liability is carried at fair value. The fair value of the warrant liability is based on the number of Warrant Shares that are expected to be exercisable and the Altisource share price less $0.01 at the measurement date. The Warrant liability is measured using Level 3 inputs as the determination of fair value includes various assumptions of future Aggregate Paydowns (see Note 10 for additional information).

There were no transfers between different levels during the periods presented.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Our policy is to deposit our cash and cash equivalents with larger, highly rated financial institutions. The Company derived 45% of its revenue from Ocwen for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (see Note 2 for additional information on Ocwen revenues and accounts receivable balance). The Company strives to mitigate its concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by actively monitoring past due accounts and the economic status of larger customers, if known.
