Special note on forward-looking statements

Our disclosure and analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain, and our officers, directors and authorized spokespersons may make, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “targets,” “predicts” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

The forward-looking statements contained in this report reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual business, operations, results or financial condition to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that may materially affect such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

Our ability to develop and implement new businesses or, to the extent such businesses are developed, our ability to make them successful or sustain the performance of any such businesses;
Developments in the litigation regarding our redemption obligations under the Certificate of Designations of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”), including our ability to obtain declaratory relief confirming that we were not obligated to redeem any of the Series A Shares on the March 15, 2020 redemption date if we do not have funds legally available to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Series A Shares requested to be redeemed on that redemption date;
While the Company has no direct exposure to the recently failed banks due to the recent financial conditions of the banking system, if other banks or financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future, our ability, and the ability of our customers, clients and vendors, to access capital, may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition;
Current inflationary economic and market conditions, including the current rising interest rate environment and developments in the credit market;
Access to existing and new debt capital to continue to fund our origination and acquisition platforms;
The ability of the Company to execute on its Action Plan ("The Plan") submitted to the NYSE American, LLC ("NYSE") to allow the Company to maintain its listing status on the NYSE; and
The failure of our information technology systems, a breach thereto, and our ability to integrate and improve those systems at a pace fast enough to keep up with competitors and security threats; andthreats.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, assumptions, and expectations, they are not guarantees of future performance. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of their respective dates, and we assume no obligation to update them to reflect changes in underlying assumptions, new information or otherwise. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, please see Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Item 1A. Risk factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Altisource Asset Management Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2022March 31, 2023
(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us,” “AAMC,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the U.S. Virgin Islands (“USVI”) on March 15, 2012 (our “inception”), and commenced operations as an asset manager on December 21, 2012.Our primary business was to provide asset management and certain corporate governance services to institutional investors. In October 2013, we applied for and were granted registration by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a registered investment adviser under Section 203(c) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. We historically operated in a single segment focused on providing asset management and certain corporate governance services to investment vehicles. Our primary client was Front Yard Residential Corporation (“Front Yard”), a public real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on acquiring and managing quality, affordable single-family rental (“SFR”) properties throughout the United States.2012.

On August 13, 2020, we entered into a Termination and Transition Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Front Yard and Front Yard Residential L.P. (“FYR LP”) to terminate the Amended and Restated Asset Management Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2019 (the “Amended AMA”), by and among Front Yard, FYR LP and AAMC, and to provide for a transition plan to facilitate the internalization of Front Yard’s asset management function (the “Transition Plan”). The Termination Agreement was effective on December 31, 2020, the date that the parties mutually agreed that the Transition Plan had been satisfactorily completed (the “Termination Date”) and the Amended AMA was terminated in its entirety.

As disclosed in our public filings, the Company’s prior business operations ceased inDuring the first weekquarter of 2021. During 2021,2022, the Company engaged in a comprehensive search to acquire an operating company with the proceeds received from the sale of its operations in accordance with the Termination Agreement. A range of industries were included in the search, including, but not limited to, real estate lending, cryptocurrency, block-chain technology and insurance operations. Outside professional firms, including among others, Cowen and Company, LLC, an investment bank, and Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, a global law practice, were engaged to provide due diligence, legal and valuation expertise to assist in our search.

In March 2022, AAMC created the Alternative Lending Group (ALG).(“ALG”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to generate alternative private credit loans through Direct to Borrower Lending, Wholesale Originations, and Correspondent Loan Acquisitions. The Company has committed over $50 million to grow theinitial operations of the ALG to performentail the following:

Build out a niche origination platform as well as a loan acquisition team;
Fund the originated or acquired alternative loans from a combination of Company equity and existing or future lines of credit;
Sell the originated and acquired alternative loans through forward commitment and repurchase contracts;
Leverage senior management’s expertise in this space; and
Utilize AAMC’s existing operations in India to drive controls and cost efficiencies.

ALG'sALG’s primary sources of income isare derived from mortgage banking activities generated through the origination and acquisition of loans, and their subsequent sale or securitization as well as net interest income from loans while held on the balance sheet for investment.sheet.

Basis of presentation and use of estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All wholly owned subsidiaries are included, and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company changed its balance sheet presentation from classified (distinguishing between short-term and long-term accounts) to unclassified (no such distinction) in the second quarter of 2022. This change was prompted by the Company's strategic decision to launch an alternative lending operation, ALG, in March 2022, as described above. The presentation of an unclassified balance sheet is consistent with that of the Company’s peers within the lending industry. Further, the previous classified presentation was not utilized to derive any metric by which the Company is measured or will be measured on a prospective basis. As the Company is now presenting an unclassified balance sheet, reclassification adjustments have been
8

(table of contents)
made to the historical Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021 in order for it to conform with the current unclassified presentation.

In management's opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. We have omitted certain notes and other information from the interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Loans held for sale or investment, carried at fair market value

We originate and purchase alternative loans. These loans will either be classified as held for investment or held for sale depending upon the determination of management. We have elected to measure these alternative loans at fair value on a loan by loan basis. This option is available when we first recognize a financial asset. Subsequent changes in the fair value of these loans will be recorded in our condensed consolidated statementsCondensed Consolidated Statements of operationsOperations in the period of the change. Purchased loans, also known as correspondent loans, can be bought with a net strip interest component in that the seller of the loan will receive an agreed upon percentage of the coupon interest generated from the sold loan. This strip component is reflected as service and asset management expense on the condensed consolidated statementsCondensed Consolidated Statements of operations.Operations.

(table of contents)
A fair value measurement represents the price at which an orderly transaction would occur between willing market participants at the measurement date. Loans under contract for sale are valued at the agreed sales price. We estimate the fair values of the loans held for investment or sale based on available inputs from the marketplace. The market for the loans that we have or will invest in is generally illiquid. Establishing fair values for illiquid assets is inherently subjective and is often dependent upon our estimates and modeling assumptions. In circumstances where relevant market inputs cannot be obtained, increased analysis and management judgment are required to estimate fair value. This generally requires us to establish internal assumptions about future cash flows and appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates. Regardless of the valuation inputs we apply, the objective of fair value measurement for assets is unchanged from what it would be if markets were operating at normal activity levels and/or transactions were orderly; that is, to determine the current exit price.

See Note 32 for further discussion on fair value measurements.

Interest for these loans is recognized as revenue based on the stated coupon when earned and deemed collectible or until a loan becomes more than 90 days past due, at which point the loan is placed on nonaccrual status and any accrued interest is reversed against interest income. When a seriously delinquent loan previously placed on nonaccrual status has been cured, meaning all delinquent principal and interest have been remitted by the borrower, the loan will be placed back on accrual status. Interest accrued as of period end is included within loans held for sale, at fair value or loans held for investment, at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheetsCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as applicable.

Redeemable Preferred stock

Issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in 2014 Private Placement

During the first quarter of 2014, we issued 250,000 shares of convertible preferred stock for $250.0 million (“Series A Shares”) to institutional investors. Under the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Shares (the “Certificate”), we have the option to redeem all of the Series A Shares on March 15, 2020 and on each successive five-year anniversary of March 15, 2020 thereafter. In connection with these same redemption dates, each holder of our Series A Shares has the right to give notice requesting us to redeem all of the Series A Shares held by such holder out of legally available funds. In accordance with the terms of the Certificate, if we have legally available funds to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Series A Shares requested to be redeemed on a redemption date, we will deliver to those holders who have requested redemption in accordance with the Certificate a notice of redemption. If we do not have legally available funds to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Series A Shares requested to be redeemed on a redemption date, we will not provide a notice of redemption. The redemption right will be exercisable in connection with each redemption date every five years until the mandatory redemption date in 2044. If we are required to redeem all of the holder'sholder’s Series A Shares, we are required to do so for cash at a price equal to $1,000 per share (the issuance price) out of funds legally available therefor. Due to the redemption provisions of the Series A Preferred Stock, we classify these shares as mezzanine equity, outside of permanent stockholders' equity.

The holders of our Series A Shares are not entitled to receive dividends with respect to their Series A Shares. The Series A Shares are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1,250 per share (or an exchange rate of 0.8 shares of common stock for Series A Share), subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

Upon certain change of control transactions or upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the Series A Shares will be entitled to receive an amount in cash per Series A Share equal to the greater of:

(i)  $1,000 plus the aggregate amount of cash dividends paid on the number of shares of common stock into which such Series A Shares were convertible on each ex-dividend date for such dividends; and
(ii)  The number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Shares are then convertible multiplied by the then-current market price of the common stock.

The Certificate confers no voting rights to holders, except with respect to matters that materially and adversely affect the voting powers, rights or preferences of the Series A Shares or as otherwise required by applicable law.

With respect to the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the Series A Shares rank senior to our common stock and on parity with all other classes of preferred stock that may be issued by us in the future.

The Series A Shares are recorded net of issuance costs, which were amortized on a straight-line basis through the first potential redemption date in March 2020.

(table of contents)
Between January 31, 2020 and February 3, 2020, we received purported notices from all of the holders of our Series A Shares requesting us to redeem an aggregate of $250.0 million liquidation preference of our Series A Shares on March 15, 2020. We did not have legally available funds to redeem all of the Series A Shares on March 15, 2020. As a result, we do not believe, under the terms of the Certificate, that we were obligated to redeem any of the Series A Shares under the Certificate.

Current Litigation

Luxor (plaintiff) v. AAMC (defendant)

On February 3, 2020, Luxor filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, against AAMC for breach of contract, specific performance, unjust enrichment, and related damages and expenses. The complaint alleges that AAMC’s position that it will not redeem any of Luxor’s Series A Shares on the March 15, 2020 redemption date is a material breach of AAMC’s redemption obligations under the Certificate. Luxor seeks an order requiring AAMC to redeem its Series A Shares, recovery of no less than $144,212,000 in damages, which is equal to the amount Luxor would receive if AAMC redeemed all of Luxor’s Series A Shares at the redemption price of $1,000 per share set forth in the Certificate, as well as payment of its costs and expenses in the lawsuit. In the alternative, Luxor seeks a return of its initial purchase price of $150,000,000 for the Series A Shares, as well as payment of its costs and expenses in the lawsuit. On May 25, 2020, Luxor’s complaint was amended to add Putnam Equity Spectrum Fund and Putnam Capital Spectrum Fund (collectively, “Putnam”), which also invested in the Series A Shares, as plaintiff. On June 12, 2020, AAMC moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint in
10


(table of contents)
favor of AAMC’s first-filed declaratory judgment action in the U.S. Virgin Islands. On August 4,3, 2020, the court denied AAMC’s motion to dismiss. On February 17,23, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the Putnam Agreement described below, Putnam agreed to discontinue all claims against AAMC with prejudice related to the Series A shares. Luxor and AAMC have completed discovery in the action. AAMC and Luxor each filed summary judgment motions on July 18,19, 2022 and replies to those motions on August 18, 2022 and September 15, 2022. The court has scheduled a hearing forOn December 1, 2022, forhaving heard oral arguments on the summary judgment motions, the court denied both parties’ motions.

AAMC and Luxor have filed an appeal and cross-appeal, respectively, from the trial court’s ruling in the Appellate Division - First Department, of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. By stipulation of the parties, the appeal and cross-appeal shall be perfected and briefed for the June 2023 term.

AAMC continues to pursue its strategic business initiatives despite this litigation. If Luxor were to prevail in its lawsuit, our liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.

AAMC (plaintiff) v. Nathaniel Redleaf (defendant)

On October 31, 2022, AAMC filed a complaint with demand for jury trial in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, Division of St. Croix, against Nathaniel Redleaf alleging breach of fiduciary duty to AAMC. Mr. Redleaf was a member of AAMC’s Board of Directors for five years and the Company’s complaint alleges that he breached his fiduciary duty, by among other things, disclosing AAMC’s confidential information to Luxor. AAMC seeks a number of remedies, including compensatory damages, disgorgement of any benefit received by Luxor or Mr. Redleaf as a result of such breaches.

On January 4, 2023, this action was removed to the United States District Court of the Virgin Islands, Division of St. Croix.

On February 28, 2023, defendant Redleaf filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On April 25, 2023, the Magistrate Judge issued an order scheduling an initial conference for June 8, 2023.
Luxor Books and Records Demand

On April 26, 2021, Luxor, sent a letter to the Company demanding, under the common law of the USVI, the right to inspect certain books and records of the Company (the “Demand”).According to Luxor, the purpose of the Demand is to investigate whether the Company’s Board of Directors may have considered or engaged in transactions with or at the direction of a significant shareholder of the Company or whether the Company’s Board of Directors and/or Company management may have mismanaged the Company or engaged in wrongdoing, may not have properly discharged their fiduciary duties, or may have conflicts of interest.Luxor further alleges that it seeks an inspection of the Company books and records to determine whether the current directors should continue to serve on the Company’s board or whether a derivative suit should be filed.
9


On May 10, 2021, the Company sent a letter responding to the Demand and declining to provide the Company’s books and records for inspection (the “Response”).The Response states that Luxor does not have a credible basis for the Demand, which is required under the USVI common law; that, as preferred shareholders with no voting rights, Luxor’s purpose for the Demand is not reasonably related to Luxor’s interests as shareholders(table of the Company because Luxor cannot vote in connection with Board elections or business transactions of the Company; and that Luxor’s Demand serves only to personally benefit Luxor in its private suit against the Company.contents)

Settlement Activities

On February 17, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement dated as of February 17, 2021 (the “Putnam Agreement”) with Putnam. Pursuant to the Putnam Agreement, AAMC and Putnam exchanged all of Putnam’s 81,800 Series A Shares for 288,283 shares of AAMC’s common stock. Additionally, AAMC paid Putnam $1,636,000 within three business days of the effective date of the Putnam Agreement and $1,227,000 on the one-year anniversary of the effective date of the Putnam Agreement, and in return Putnam released AAMC from all claims related to the Series A Shares and enter into a voting rights agreement as more fully described in the Putnam Agreement. Finally, AAMC granted to Putnam a most favored nations provision with respect to future settlements of the Series A Shares. As a result of this settlement, we recognized a one-time gain directly to Additional paid in capital of $71.9 million in the first quarter of 2021.

On August 27, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the “Wellington Agreement”) with certain funds managed by Wellington Management Company LLP (collectively, “Wellington”). Under the Wellington Agreement, the Company paid Wellington $2,093,000 in exchange for 18,200 Series A Shares ($18.2 million of liquidation preference) held by Wellington, and in return Wellington agreed to release AAMC from all claims related to the Series A Shares. As a result of this settlement, we recognized a one-time gain directly to Additional paid in capital of $16.1 million gain in the third quarter of 2021.

2. Discontinued Operations

Our primary client prior to December 31, 2020 had been Front Yard Residential Corporation (“Front Yard”), a public real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on acquiring and managing quality, affordable single-family rental (“SFR”) properties throughout the United States. All of our revenue for all periods presented prior to December 31, 2021 was generated through our asset management agreements with Front Yard.

On August 13, 2020, AAMC and Front Yard entered into a Termination and Transition Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and Front Yard have agreed to effectively internalize the asset management function of Front Yard. The Termination Agreement provided that the Amended AMA would terminate following a transition period to enable the internalization of Front Yard’s asset management function, allow for the assignment of certain vendor contracts and implement the transfer of certain employees to Front Yard and the training of required replacement employees at each company. In addition, Front Yard acquired the equity interests of AAMC's Indian subsidiary, the equity interests of AAMC's Cayman Islands subsidiary, the right to solicit and hire designated AAMC employees that oversaw the management of Front Yard's business and other assets of AAMC that were used in connection with the operation of Front Yard's business.

The transition period ended at the close of business, December 31, 2020, the time that AAMC and Front Yard mutually agreed that all required transition activities had been successfully completed (the “Termination Date”). On the Termination Date, the Amended AMA terminated, and the Company completed the assignment of our lease in Charlotte, North Carolina to Front Yard. Additionally, on December 31, 2020, we completed the sale of our Cayman Islands subsidiary. On January 1, 2021, in connection with the Termination Agreement, the Company completed the sale of our India subsidiary.

The Company had no assets and liabilities related to our discontinued operations that constituted the Disposal Group at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Discontinued operations includes (i) the management fee revenues generated under our asset management agreements with Front Yard, (ii) expense reimbursements from Front Yard and the underlying expenses, (iii) the results of operations of our India and Cayman Islands subsidiaries, (iv) the employment costs associated with certain individuals wholly dedicated to Front Yard and (v) the costs associated with our lease in Charlotte, North Carolina, that was assumed by Front Yard on December 31, 2020. The operating results of these items are presented in our consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented and revenues and expenses directly related to discontinued operations were eliminated from our ongoing operations.

For financial reporting purposes of our alternative loans, we follow a fair value hierarchy established under GAAP that is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. This hierarchy prioritizes relevant market inputs in order to determine an "exit price" at the measurement date, or at the price at which an asset could be sold or a liability could be transferred in an orderly process that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices for an assets or liabilities that are obtained through corroboration with observable market data.Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs (e.g., our own data or assumptions) that are used when there is little, if any, relevant market activity for the asset or liability required to be measured at fair value.

In certain cases, inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level at which the fair value measurement falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability being measured.

The following table presents the assets that are reported at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30,March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as well as the fair value of hierarchy of the valuation inputs used to measure fair value. We did not have any assets that were reported at fair value as of December 31, 2021. We did not have any liabilities to report at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021.2022.

The estimated fair value for our business purpose loans is determined using discounted cash flow modeling ("DCF"model (“DCF”) for both performing and nonaccrual loans.to estimate the net present value of the future cash flows expected from each loan. For performing loans, the DCF is based on the future expected cash flows of each loan in accordance with its contractual terms net of the strip component. Cash flows for performing loans with construction holdbacks incorporate the draws to complete the required improvements to the underlying property securing the loan. For nonaccrual loans, the estimated cash flows are based on the current fair value of the collateral of the loans, in which the Company will utilize a third-party appraisal to determine the fair value (Level 3). At September 30, 2022 the Company had no nonaccrual loans.

On a loan by loan basis, the weighted average discount rate range utilized for the DCF applied to the net yield to be received by the Company was 10.7%10.6% which is greater than the overall yield on the portfolio of 8.4%8.6%, resulting in the decrease in value of the portfolio at September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. The determination of the discount rate was based on analysis of the current interest rates charged for business purpose loans in conjunction with the increase in rates for other underlying base rates such as the 10-year U.S. treasury bond and the 30 day Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (Level 3).

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had no securities outstanding. We did not transfer any assets from one level to another level during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

3. Borrowings

In December 2022, the Company entered into a $50.0 million Master Repurchase Agreement (the "NexBank Line") with NexBank, as the buyer. The Company uses the proceeds from the NexBank Line to fund the acquisition and origination of business purpose loans (the "Loans") secured by residential, multifamily and certain commercial properties. Each draw on the NexBank Line can be outstanding up to 180 days. NexBank has a security interest in the Loans subject to a transaction under the NexBank Line. The NexBank Line's maturity is 364 days from the execution date. The carrying value of the NexBank Line approximates its fair value as of March 31, 2023 due to its short-term nature and floating interest rate terms.

4. Equity SecuritiesThe NexBank Line accrues interest at a equal to the greater of (a) the 1 month Term SOFR rate plus a spread dependent on three and on-half percent (3.50%) or (b) four and one-quarter (4.25%). The average borrowing rate was 8.52% and weighted average remaining term is 107 days as of March 31, 2023. The NexBank Line’s outstanding balance is $20.7 million and is collateralized by $24.7 million in Loans at March 31, 2023.

Investment gains/losses inThe NexBank Line provides for certain affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company is required to maintain financial covenants including specified levels of: 1) maximum debt to net worth ratio; 2) minimum current ratio; and 3) minimum liquidity. The NexBank Line also contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and representations and warranties, cross defaults, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default which are customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the NexBank Line and the liquidation of Loans subject to a transaction. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2021 are summarized as follows ($ in thousands):

Investment gains and losses include unrealized gains and losses from changes in fair values duringMarch 31, 2023, the period on positions that we owned in 2021, as well as gains and losses on positions sold duringCompany did not meet the period. As reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we received proceeds from sales of Front Yard common stock of $47.5 million in the ninetwelve-trailing months ended September 30, 2021. No proceeds were received in nine months ended September 30, 2022 because no investments were held. In the preceding table, investment gains/losses on equity securities sold during the period reflect the difference between the sales proceeds and the fair valueprofitability requirements of the equity securities soldNexBank Line. As a result, the Company has requested a compliance waiver from NexBank and is currently working with NexBank to receive the waiver. We are not aware of any reasons or circumstances that would prevent NexBank from electing to issue the waiver at the beginningthis time. The Company was otherwise in compliance with all covenants and there were no defaults as of the applicable quarterly period.

5. BorrowingsMarch 31, 2023.

Flagstar has a security interest in the Loans subject to a transaction under the Flagstar Line and requires the Company to maintain restricted cash of $3$2 million in a Flagstar deposit account. The Line's maturity is 364 days from the execution date. Flagstar temporarily increased their commitment to Company by $2.5 million to a total of $52.5 million at September 30, 2022. The carrying value of the Line approximates its fair value as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 due to its short-term nature and floating interest rate terms.

Executive Arbitrations

Former Chief Executive Officer, Indroneel Chatterjee

On May 3, 2021, Mr. Chatterjee, commenced an arbitration against the Company and each of its directors. The arbitration complaint alleges that the Company’s April 16, 2021 for cause termination of Mr. Chatterjee was in breach of Mr. Chatterjee’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement and made extra contractual claims against the Company for not affording Mr. Chatterjee a “fair procedure” and placed him in a “false light” by disclosing Mr. Chatterjee’s termination in its public announcement of the for cause termination. In addition, the arbitration complaint also asserts a tort claim against each of the Company’s directors relating to that termination and against the Company for its April 16, 2021 public announcement of the for cause termination. Mr. Chatterjee’s arbitration complaint seeks unspecified damages for his contract claims including for loss of income, stock and bonus, and punitive damages on his tort claims. On June 10, 2021, the Company and its directors responded to the arbitration complaint and advanced counterclaims against Mr. Chatterjee. On October 20, 2021, the arbitrator granted the Company’s motion to dismiss with respect to Mr. Chatterjee’s “fair procedure” and “false light” claims, but denied the motion to dismiss the tort claim against each of the directors. Following the close of discovery on July 11, 2022, the Company moved for summary judgment seeking dismissal of Mr. Chatterjee's remaining claims against the Company and against its directors, and further seeking entry of judgment on the majority of the Company's counterclaims. On July 21, 2022, the Company and its directors filed a motion alleging that Mr. Chatterjee had engaged in fraud and seeking as sanctions for that abuse both the dismissal of all of Mr. Chatterjee's claims and the payment of the Company's legal fees resulting from that alleged abuse. Following briefing by all parties on the summary judgment and sanction motions, on October 19, 2022, the arbitrator found that Mr. Chatterjee engaged in serious and repeated misconduct, attempting to perpetrate a fraud on the arbitrator and the Company and accordingly(i) dismissed all of Mr. Chatterjee's remaining claims, both as a sanction for his misconduct and, independently, on the merits of the Respondents' motion for summary judgment; (ii) granted summary judgment on one of the Company's counterclaims requiring Mr. Chatterjee to pay the Company $400,000 (the return of half of his initial signing bonus); and, (iii) ordered that Mr. Chatterjee, as a further sanction for his misconduct, reimburse the Company for all expenses it incurred directly and solely as a result of his misconduct (which dollar amount has not yet been set). The arbitrator has set a trial date for December 12-16, 2022, at which time the company can present its remaining counterclaims.

On October 11, 2022, the Court appointed a Staff Master to decide, or issue a recommended decision on, the pending motions, including the motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction.

On February 1, 2023, Plaintiffs and AAMC filed a petition for mandamus with the United States Virgin Islands Supreme Court seeking an order directing the Superior Court to issue a decision on the personal jurisdiction issue and to permit discovery to proceed. On April 18, 2023, the Supreme Court issued an order dismissing the petition for mandamus, without prejudice, as moot.

On March 3, 2023, the Staff Master held a hearing to discuss the pending motions to dismiss. On April 6, 2023, the Staff Master ordered the parties to submit supplemental briefs on the personal jurisdiction issue which the parties filed on April 28, 2023.

At this time, we are not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, nor can we estimate the range of possible damages to be awarded to AAMC, if any. As such, we have not recorded a gain contingency for this matter at September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2021.

Item 2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

Our Business

Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us”“us,” “AAMC,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the United States Virgin Islands (“USVI”) on March 15, 2012 (our "inception"), and we commenced operations inas an asset manager on December 21, 2012. In October 2013, we applied for and were granted registration by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a registered investment adviser under Section 203(c) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. We historically operated in a single segment focused on providing asset management and certain corporate governance services to investment vehicles. Our primary client was Front Yard Residential Corporation ("Front Yard"), a public real estate investment trust ("REIT") focused on acquiring and managing quality, affordable single-family rental ("SFR") properties throughout the United States.

On August 13, 2020, we entered into a Termination and Transition Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Front Yard and Front Yard Residential L.P. (“FYR LP”) to terminate the Amended and Restated Asset Management Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2019 (the “Amended AMA”), by and among Front Yard, FYR LP and AAMC, and to provide for a transition plan to facilitate the internalization of Front Yard’s asset management function (the “Transition Plan”). The Termination Agreement was effective on December 31, 2020, the date that the parties mutually agreed that the Transition Plan had been satisfactorily completed (the “Termination Date”) and, the Amended AMA was terminated in its entirety.

As disclosed in our public filings, the Company’s prior business operations ceased inDuring the first weekquarter of 2021. During 2021,2022, the Company engaged in a comprehensive search to acquire an operating company with the proceeds received from the sale of its operations in accordance with the Termination Agreement. A range of industries were included in the search, including, but not limited to, real estate lending, cryptocurrency, block-chain technology and insurance operations.Outside professional firms, including among others, Cowen and Company, LLC, an investment bank, and Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, a global law practice, were engaged to provide due diligence, legal and valuation expertise to assist in our search.

Ultimately, in March 2022, AAMC determined to move forward with the newly created Alternative Lending Group (ALG)(“ALG”) to generate alternative private credit loans through Direct to Borrower Lending, Wholesale Originations, and grow organically and to pursue an opportunity related to Crypto ATMs.

With a capital commitment of $50 million to grow theCorrespondent Loan Acquisitions. The initial operations of ALG the Company intends to performentail the following:

Build out a niche origination platform as well as a loan acquisition team;
Fund the originated or acquired alternative loans from a combination of Company equity and future lines of credit;
Sell the originated and acquired alternative loans through forward commitment and repurchase contracts;
Leverage senior management’s expertise in this space; and
Utilize AAMC’s existing operations in India to drive controls and cost efficiencies.

The type of product we expect to originate or acquire are alternative loans that offer opportunities for rapid growth and allow us to tap into underservedunder-served markets. We intend to stay agile on the loan product mix, but we are currently focused on markets not addressed by banks, agency aggregators and most traditional lenders, including but not limited to:

Transitional Loans: bridge loans on single family and commercial real estate;
Ground-up Construction Loans: assisting developers in projects with the primary focus on workforce housing;
Investor Loans: Non-agency loans on investment rental properties that are debt service coverage ratio type loans;
Special Purpose Credit Programs: loans to extend special purpose credit to applicants who meet certain eligibility requirements such as credit assistance programs; and
“Gig Economy” Loans: Loans to professionals, self-employed borrowers, start-up business owners lacking income documentation to qualify for Agency purchase.

In the near future, we expect our main business segment to be ALG, whoseALG’s primary sources of income will beare derived from mortgage banking activities generated through the origination and acquisition of loans, and their subsequent sale or securitization as well as net interest income from loans while held on the balance sheet.

In addition to ALG operations, AAMC will also invest capital into a Crypto ATM business, including through its Right of First Refusal Agreement with the cryptocurrency company, ForumPay, with the intent to deploy crypto enabled ATMs worldwide. The Crypto ATMs will generally allow users to purchase multiple cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin,

using fiat currency, sell the same cryptocurrencies and eventually remit payments globally either in cryptocurrency or the local fiat currency. We will initially invest $2.0 million and plan to invest more as the opportunity warrants.

Therefore, we have classified the results of our operations related to Front Yard as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Discontinued operations includes (i) the management fee revenues generated under our asset management agreements with Front Yard, (ii) expense reimbursements from Front Yard and the underlying expenses, (iii) the results of operations of our India and Cayman Islands subsidiaries, (iv) the employment costs associated with certain individuals wholly dedicated to Front Yard and (v) the costs associated with our lease in Charlotte, North Carolina, that was assumed by Front Yard.

As of September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we also had $3.0$2.0 million in restricted cash. We are developing new sources of income and capital through our strategic business plan. We believe these sources of liquidity are sufficient to enable us to meet anticipated short-term (one-year) liquidity requirements. Our ongoing cash expenditures consist of: salaries and employee benefits, legal and professional fees, lease obligations servicing and asset management and other general and administrative expenses. Certain account balances exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a
19


result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage. To mitigate this risk, we maintain our cash and cash equivalents at large national or international banking institutions.

As referred to in Note 1 in our condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has settled with certain owners of its Series A Shares which has reduced the outstanding balance from $250 million to approximately $144 million. The remaining outstanding Series A Shares are owned by Luxor in which we are currently in litigation over various claims.

AAMC intends to continue to pursue its strategic business initiatives despite this litigation. See “Our Company.Business.” If Luxor were to prevail in its lawsuit, we may need to cease or curtail our business initiatives and our liquidity could be materially and adversely affected.

Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes that affect market sensitive instruments.

Item 4. Controls and procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon that evaluation, management has determined that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

27As the Company is a Smaller Reporting Company (“SRC”) under the SEC guidelines, management has determined that it will no longer receive an attestation opinion of its internal controls over financial reporting from its external auditor until the Company no longer qualifies as a SRC, upon reaching certain revenue thresholds. This decision was in conjunction with the creation of Company’s new business line and the extension of the 2012 Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS:) Act in March 2020.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company is assessing and implementing new internal control steps related to its ALG business line. These steps will result in material changes to the internal control process and will include, but are not limited to, the following: implementing reporting steps for fair market value assessments of the loan portfolio; liaising with third party loan servicers and underwriting information providers; integration of a new loan operating system; and monitoring loan performance in accordance with debt facilities. The Company has engaged a third-party consultant to assist in both the documentation and integration of the processes involving the ALG business line. The new processes were in response to the creation and ongoing growth of the new business line and were not undertaken in response to any perceived deficiencies in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Other than the new business line steps denoted above, thereThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

With the Company being designated as a Smaller Reporting Company (SRC) under the SEC guidelines, management has determined that it will no longer receive an attestation opinion of its internal controls over financial reporting from its external auditor until the Company no longer qualifies as a SRC, upon reaching certain revenue thresholds. This decision was in conjunction with the creation of Company’s new business line and the extension of the 2012 Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act in March 2020.
