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,high-value, technology-enabled, knowledge-based functionssolutions 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. r.l., renamed Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.à.r.l. 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 the Mortgage Partnership Associationof American, L.L.C. (“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 areit is the primary beneficiary of Lenders One as they haveit 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 InterestsInterest on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31,June 30, 2011, Lenders One had total assets of $3.7$5.4 million and liabilities of $0.2$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 SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, theythese 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, 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,June 30, 2011 our only significant equity investment was a 50% stake in Correspondent One S.A. (“Correspondent One”) which iswas still in the formation processprocess. Correspondent One facilitates the purchase of conforming and therefore had nogovernment guaranteed residential mortgages from approved mortgage originators. In July, we fulfilled our committed funding obligations and have provided a total of $15.0 million to Correspondent One. Our ownership was reduced below 50% due to investments by certain Lenders One members. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Correspondent One has minimal impact to our consolidated operations.Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Beginning in the third quarter of 2011, Correspondent One will partner with Ocwen and members of Lenders One to provide additional avenues for members to sell loans beyond Lenders One’s preferred investor arrangements and the members own network of loan buyers.

Acquisitions
In April 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. See Note 6 for additional information.
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,June 30, 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, which expires in February 2014, 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,option at June 30, 2011 of $0.4$0.2 million was valued using the following assumptions:
     
  Assumptions 
     
Risk-free Interest Rate  0.3%0.19%1.290.810%

Expected Option Life (in years)  10.7532.75 
Contractual Life (in years)   
Fair Value $0.05$0.0$2.32$1.14 
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 anyforfeited. Any changes in value are included as a component of Other Income (Expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
NOTE 2 — TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

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.

All goodwill and intangible assets related to the acquisition are expected to be amortizable and deductible for income tax purposes.
The results of operations of Springhouse has been included in our consolidated results from the acquisition date. The acquisition did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(a) Prior to our acquisition of NCINationwide Credit, Inc. (“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 firstlyfirst to our book goodwill balance in our consolidated financial statements. As our book goodwill balance was fully written off at December 31, 2010. We2010, 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.goodwill as they are realized in our tax returns. The amount amortized was $0.9$1.7 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011. The balance of Component 2 goodwill remaining was $9.9$8.5 million as of March 31,June 30, 2011 which should generate $6.0$5.1 million of reductions of intangible assets.assets when the benefit can be realized for U.S. tax purposes.
Amortization expense for definite lived intangible assets was $1.3$2.6 million and $1.2$2.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

NOTE 8 — EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION
We provide stock-based awards as a form of compensation for certain employees and officers. We have issued stock-based awards in the form of stock options and restricted stock units.options. We recorded total stock compensation expense of $0.8$1.4 million and $1.0 million for the threesix months ended March 31, 2011.June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively ($0.6 million and $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively). The compensation expense is principally 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 afterfollowing termination of service. A total of 1.1 million service-based awards were outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2011.
Market-based Options.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, wouldbegins to 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 criterioncriteria and the remaining 75% in three equal annual installments. A total of 2.2 million market-based awards were outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2011.

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 all dilutive securities.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 and 2010 are calculated as follows:

For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, an immaterial amount of options that were anti-dilutive have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS (0.7(0.2 million for the three monthsand six month ended March 31,June 30, 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 and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 and 2010 are 0.6 and 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 actionsproceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We record a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage. For proceedings where a range of loss is determined, we record a best estimate of loss within the range. When legal proceedings are material we disclose the nature of the litigation and to the extent possible the estimate of loss or range of loss. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel and considering insurance coverage where applicable, the outcome of any such current matterslegal proceedings both individually and in the aggregate will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)
OVERVIEW
Our Business
We are a provider of services focused on high value,high-value, technology-enabled, knowledge-based functionssolutions principally related to mortgage and 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 businessesbusiness 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 beenMortgage Services:Consists of services that span the mortgage lifecycle and are typically outsourced by loan servicers and originators. 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 Service and Other was 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 primarily 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. OnIn 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,From authorization through June 30, 2011, we have purchased 0.91.0 million shares of our common stock on the open market at an average price of $27.85,$28.51, leaving 2.92.8 million shares available for purchase under the program.
Springhouse, LLC
OnIn 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 additional items may impact the comparability of our results:
In February 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding membership interestsinterest 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; and
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.cost. The impact of this change is discussed further in the Technology Services segment.

N/M — Notnot meaningful.
We recognized $144.2 million of Service Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a 30% increase over the same period in 2010. We sequentially grew Service Revenue in the second quarter through higher sales of real estate owned (REO) properties, due to seasonality and expansion of the title insurance business. Sequential growth in Service Revenue was constrained by Financial Services due to seasonality as well as completion of temporary assignment in the first quarter, and by Mortgage Services due to decreased foreclosure referrals which resulted in reduced title search and default management services revenues.
For the third quarter, we expect modest growth in Service Revenue facilitated by seasonally strong REO sales and continued growth of the title insurance operations. For the fourth quarter, we expect substantially greater growth in Service Revenue assuming Ocwen concludes its acquisition of the Litton platform and the Company’s continued roll-out of our title insurance services.

Management’s DiscussionIncome before income tax attributable to Altisource grew in both periods over the comparable periods in 2010 principally as a result of the development of mortgage and Analysisreal estate portfolio management services and the growth of Ocwen’s servicing portfolio. Sequentially, income before income tax attributable to Altisource declined $1.3 million due to increased investments in personnel and technology to support our growth initiatives, initial investments in infrastructure to support the acquisition by Ocwen of the Litton portfolio and the seasonal decline in Financial ConditionServices revenue.
For the third quarter, we expect initiatives to support the Litton portfolio and Resultsinvestment in technology will limit margin expansion. We continuously undertake process improvement initiatives focused on margin enhancement of Operations
(continued)fully deployed services and we believe implementation of business process management software, deployment of next generation REALSuite software and leveraging of fixed costs on higher referral volume will facilitate continued growth in margins over the longer term.

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 ofGrowth in Service Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, a 39% increase overperiod presented was due to the same quarter in 2010. Revenues for the first quarter were consistent withdevelopment of mortgage and real estate portfolio management services across our internal expectations.national platform. Our 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)Technology Services segments also benefited from the growth in Ocwen’s loan portfolio.loans serviced by Ocwen during this period. Financial Services revenue declined in both periods compared to prior year due to a decline in revenues from one of the segment’s largest customer.customers. 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.
Sequentially, Service Revenue increased $0.8 million compared to the first quarter 2011 led by the Mortgage Services and Technology Services revenuesegment. Increases in the Mortgage Services segment were driven principally by the increased assales of REO properties and the impactgrowth of lowering infrastructureinsured title services pricing (which occurred on January 1, 2011) was more thanpartially offset by the growthdecline in REALSuite revenues, principally REALServicing®, givenservices dependent upon foreclosure referrals. The Technology Services segment continued to benefit from the growth in Ocwen’s servicing portfolio during 2010.
Sequentially,loan portfolio. The Service Revenue declined $2.6 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The decline is principally attributable to the Mortgagefor Financial 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 declineddecreased principally due to higher seasonal collections in the first quarter compared2011 and the continued transfer of work 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.global delivery platform.
Our revenues are seasonal. More specifically, Financial Services revenue tends to be highesthigher 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 fall and winter months and highest during spring and summer months.

Sequentially, income before income taxes attributable to Altisource grew $2.2 million; however, the fourth quarter included a $2.8declined $1.3 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 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.

Income Tax Provision
The Company recognized an income tax provision of $1.7$3.5 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011 representing an effective tax rate of 9%10.3%. The income tax provision computed by applying the Luxembourg statutory tax rate of 28.9%28.8% 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. The Company received a favorable ruling in June 2010 regarding the treatment of certain intangibles that exist for purposes of determining the Company’s taxable income. The ruling was retroactive to the date of Separation. As a result of the ruling, the Company recognized a $3.4 million credit attributable to 2009 as well as adjusted the year to date tax provision to the new effective tax rate of 12.5% in the second quarter 2010 which resulted in a credit of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Our Mortgage Services segment continues to be the primary driver of growth.growth for both year to date and second quarter results. 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 expectThrough July 2011, we fulfilled our funding requirements and have provided $15.0 million in total to fund our remaining investment in Correspondent One during the second quarter.One. Correspondent One is expected to partner with Ocwen and members of Lenders One to provide additional avenues for members to sell loans beyond Lenders One’s 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,The growth in Mortgage Services revenues declined principally due to two factors. First, fourth quarter revenues were positively impactedwas due to the boardingdevelopment of mortgage and real estate portfolio services and growth in the loan portfolio serviced by Ocwen. On average, Ocwen serviced 466,353 loans for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 359,146 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The growth in loans was principally driven by Ocwen’s acquisition of the HomEq portfolio which boarded in September 2010. Assuming Ocwen in September. This triggered an elevated levelcompletes the acquisition of valuation reports utilized bythe Litton portfolio, we expect Ocwen to determine the appropriate course of action for theboard at least an additional 200,000 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 increaseprincipally impacting our results beginning in the secondfourth quarter.
Sequentially, Service Revenue increased $2.2 million or 5%. This growth was driven by our new insured title agency operations and third quarters. Second, MPA was impactedseasonally improving REO brokerage commissions. These increases were partially offset by the overall marketa 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 agentsearch and default management services in other states.operations which are dependent upon foreclosure referrals. We expect to continue to ramp up the title insurance agency businessand, to a lesser extent, our origination services 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 revenueRevenue 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 Ocwen’s 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 Ocwen’s loan portfolio and an increase in REO properties disposed when compared to the prior period.

The completion of the national network of our services, coupled with the increase in Ocwen’s loan portfolio, are the reasons for the significant growth compared to the prior year period. Sequentially, Service Revenue for this segment increased primarily as a result of the increase in REO properties sold due to the seasonal nature of home sales when compared to first quarter 2011.
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 MPA’s results for an entire period in 2011 as compared to a partial period in 2010 from the date of acquisition. Sequentially, Revenue declined as a result of a reduction in the volume of loans sold through preferred investor agreements as well as a general decline in the loan origination market which, although expected, impacted MPA’s results. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, MPA added 18 members (12 members in the second quarter) and as of June 30, 2011 had 190 members.
Residential Property Valuation. The increase in both year to date and second quarter as compared to the same periods in the prior year was as a result of Ocwen’s residential loan portfolio growth. Sequentially, Revenue increased slightly principally due to our acquisition of Springhouse.
Closing and Title Services.During 2010, we began to roll out our title agency business in key markets. In December 2010, we obtained agency status in California. During 2011, we are focused on increasing our referral capture rate in our operational states and rolling out insured title services nationwide, similar to what we accomplished with our title search and asset management businesses in 2010. The continued focus on completing the rollout drove the year over year increase. Sequentially, Revenue increased as we continue to expand our insured title agency offerings sufficient enough to offset declines in default title search.
Default Management Services.We provide non-legal back-office support for foreclosure, bankruptcy and eviction attorneys as well as foreclosure trustee services. The increase in both periods as compared to the same periods in 2010 was a result of our continued rollout of a national platform as well as Ocwen’s servicing portfolio growth. Sequentially, we saw a decrease in Revenue primarily due to a decrease in foreclosure referrals to the attorneys we provide services to and our trustee business. The increase year over year is principally due to the inclusion of MPA’s 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 MPA’s 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 Ocwen’s 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 Ocwen’s 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 Ocwen’s boarding of additional loans in September.

Our gross margin was 52%Expenditures, which consists primarily of compensation and technology costs, increased in both periods as compared to the same periods in 2010 due to the growth in default oriented mortgage services. Sequentially, expenditures increased principally as a result of employee costs to support the roll-out of our title agency operations, development of origination services and hiring of employees to support expected growth. We would expect expenditures to continue to increase in the third quarter as we prepare for the firstanticipated referrals from the boarding of the Litton portfolio by Ocwen.
Outside fees and services increased over the prior year period due to the increase in default oriented services for the periods presented. Sequentially, outside fees and services was essentially flat. We anticipate outside fees and services to increase in the third quarter of 2011. as we expand our retail valuation and title agency offerings.
Several factors impact our gross margins from period to period including seasonality, the mix of services delivered, timing of investments in new services and the timing of when loans are boarded by our customers. Sequentially, our gross margin decreased principally as a result of increased compensation and technology costs, particularly related to our title agency and origination services under development.

As this segment continues to grow, we should see continued leverage resulting in increased margin.margins.

As discussed above, Customer Relationship Management now includes certain services that were originally recorded as part of Mortgage Services.
Financial Services revenue declined in both periods as compared to the prior yearsame periods in 2010 due to a decline in revenueRevenue from one of the segment’s largest customer.customers. The decline was in part as a result of the client shifting work to the Company’s global delivery platform which resulted in lower revenue although at 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 $0.8Revenue declined $1.5 million, or 5%8%, primarily due to the seasonality of collections.collections which are usually higher in the first quarter and a short-term customer relationship management assignment that was completed in the first quarter.
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.
In July 2011, we purchased the assembled workforce of a sub-contractor in India for $2.4 million that performed asset recovery services. For the periods presented, the costs paid to the sub-contractor were included as a component of Outside Fees and Services. In future periods, the costs will be recorded as employee costs, technology or occupancy which will result in some movement between Cost of Revenue

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 Company’s global delivery platform which resulted in lower revenue although generally at higher margins and as a result of collector performance.Asset Recovery Management.Our revenue associated with contingency collections declined in both periods when compared to the same periods in 2010 due to a decline in revenue from one of the segment’s largest customers.

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 yearCustomer Relationship Management. Our revenue associated with customer relationship management increased in both periods as compared to the same periods in 2010 as a result of increased services to two key customers. Sequentially, Revenue decreased due to a temporary increase in staffing during the first quarter for one of our customers. We expect revenues to be flat or decrease in the second quarter due to customer requirements offset in part by seasonality.

The primary focus of the Technology Services segment today 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 revenue declined when compared to the comparable period in 2010 almost entirely due to our change in pricing for infrastructure services.

We expect revenues to be consistent or down in future periods as we focus on reducing costs both internally and for Ocwen.

Typically we include new leases costs within Corporate until the facility is put into use at which time the prospective lease cost is included within the appropriate segment. Lastly, 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. When compared to the first quarter, corporate costs were flat.

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.
OnIn 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,June 30, 2011, we purchased 0.91.0 million shares of our common stock on the open market at an average price of $27.85,$28.51, leaving 2.92.8 million shares still available for purchase.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash flow from operating activities consists of two components includingcomponents: (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$38.2 million in positive cash flow from operations.operations or approximately $0.26 per every dollar of Service Revenue. 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 declinean increase 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.requirements.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities

In addition, in the firstsecond quarter 2011, we acquired Springhouse for $1.8 million. We currently expect capital expenditures in 2011 to be higher than 2010 levels as we ramp up our development costs related to REALSuite. Our current estimate of 2011 wascapital expenditures for the purchase of equipment and technology as well as external consulting costs associated with our Technology Services initiatives.full year is $16 to $18 million. Our cash flow from investing activities in 2010 includes the acquisition of MPA for which the purchase consideration included $29.0 million in cash.

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 in 2011 from financing activities as a result of our stock repurchase program.
Liquidity Requirements after March 31,June 30, 2011
During the second quarter ofIn July 2011, we expect to distribute $1.3 million to non-controlling interests; $1.7 million for the Springhouse acquisition and $14.0paid $12.0 million to fund our remaining commitment to Correspondent One.One and a net amount of $0.7 million to a sub-contractor to terminate the existing arrangement and acquire an in-place workforce of approximately 600 persons.

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

In applying many of these accounting principles, we need to make assumptions, estimates and/or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenuesrevenue 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 ofended June 30, 2011.
