CastleLine  
Acquisitions  
Schedule of Recognized Identified Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed v2 [Table Text Block]

On July 17, 2015, we acquired CastleLine Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“CastleLine”), a specialty risk management and insurance services firm. CastleLine provides financial products and services to parties involved in the origination, underwriting, purchase and securitization of residential mortgages. The purchase consideration was composed of $12.3 million of cash at closing, $10.5 million of cash payable over four years from the acquisition date and 495 thousand shares of restricted common stock of the Company with a value of $14.4 million as of the closing date. Of the cash payable following acquisition, $3.8 million is contingent on certain future employment conditions of certain of the sellers, and therefore excluded from the purchase price. The CastleLine acquisition is not material in relation to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the liability for contingent consideration is reflected at fair value and adjusted each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. During 2014, the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Equator acquisition was reduced by $37.9 million with a corresponding increase in earnings based on management’s revised estimates that expected earnings of Equator would be lower than projected at the time of acquisition. The reduction in fair value was recorded in 2014 and is reflected as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 19).
 
See Note 10 for additional information on the impairment of Technology Services goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, which includes Equator goodwill.

Mortgage Builder  
Acquisitions  
Schedule of Recognized Identified Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed v2 [Table Text Block]

On September 12, 2014, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Mortgage Builder Software, Inc. (“Mortgage Builder”) pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 18, 2014 (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). Mortgage Builder is a provider of residential mortgage loan origination and servicing software systems. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, we paid $15.7 million at closing in cash (net of closing working capital adjustments). Additionally, the Purchase and Sale Agreement provides for the payment of up to $7.0 million in potential additional consideration (the “MB Earn-Out”) based on Adjusted Revenue (as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement) in the three consecutive 12-month periods following closing. At closing, we estimated the fair value of the MB Earn-Out to be $1.6 million determined based on the present value of future estimated MB Earn-Out payments. After the acquisition date, the allocation of the purchase price was adjusted based upon information that subsequently became available relating to acquisition date working capital, resulting in an obligation of the sellers to pay the Company $0.2 million. The Mortgage Builder acquisition and the adjustment to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price are not material in relation to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

ResCap Fee-Based Businesses
 
On April 12, 2013, we entered into an agreement with Ocwen to establish additional terms related to the existing servicing arrangements between Altisource and Ocwen in connection with certain mortgage servicing platform assets of ResCap (the “ResCap Business”). The agreement provides that (i) Altisource will be a provider to Ocwen of certain services related to the ResCap Business, (ii) Ocwen will not establish similar fee-based businesses that would directly or indirectly compete with Altisource’s services as they relate to the ResCap Business and (iii) Ocwen will market and promote the utilization of Altisource’s services to their various third party relationships. Additionally, the parties agreed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the loans associated with the ResCap Business are boarded onto Altisource’s mortgage servicing platform. We paid $128.8 million to Ocwen in connection with the ResCap fee-based businesses agreement.

We acquired no tangible assets and assumed no liabilities in connection with the ResCap transaction. However, certain employees as well as practices and processes developed to support the ResCap servicing portfolio were components of the transaction. We accounted for this transaction as a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.
 
Management prepared a final purchase price allocation and assigned associated asset lives based upon available information at the time of the agreement and until finalized as of December 31, 2013. The agreement consideration of $128.8 million was fully allocated to the customer relationship intangible asset with an estimated average useful life of 7 years.
