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.

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, 2022.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 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.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company created the Alternative Lending Group (“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 initial operations of ALG entail 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’s primary sources of income are 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.

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.

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, 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 Statements of Operations 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 Statements of 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 2 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 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 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’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 therefore. 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 favor of AAMC’s first-filed declaratory judgment action in the U.S. Virgin Islands. On August 3, 2020, the court denied AAMC’s motion to dismiss. On February 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 19, 2022 and replies to those motions on August 18, 2022 and September 15, 2022. On December 1, 2022, having 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 were perfected and briefed for the June 2023 term. On June 13, 2023, the First Department issued its decision in favor of AAMC that it did not breach any contractual obligation to redeem Luxor’s preferred shares and directed the Clerk of the Court to enter judgment dismissing Luxor’s complaint.

On July 19, 2023, Luxor filed a motion for leave to appeal in the Court of Appeals of the State of New York, and AAMC filed an opposition thereto on August 7, 2023.

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. On May 15, 2023, the Court issued an order staying proceedings in this matter through November 16, 2023 pending a decision on defendant’s motion to dismiss.

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.

On January 6, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with two institutional investors. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid the institutional investors approximately $665 thousand in cash in exchange for 5,788 Series A shares ($5.79 million of liquidation preference) held by the institutional investors. As a result of this settlement, the Company recognized a one-time gain directly to Additional paid in capital of approximately $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2022.

On July 18, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Putnam Equity Spectrum Fund and Putnam Capital Spectrum Fund (collectively, “Putnam”) in which the Company repurchased 286,873 shares of common stock of the Company owned by Putnam (the "Putnam Shares"). The aggregate purchase price of the Putnam Shares was $2,868,730, or $10 per share.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Putnam also agreed to terminate the most favored nation clause granted to Putnam in the Putnam Agreement. The Company and Putnam also agreed to terminate all of Putnam's shareholder voting obligations included in the Putnam Agreement.

(table of contents)

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 June 30, 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 liabilities to report at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.



Assets	Carrying		Fair Value Measurements Using
(In thousands)	Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Loans held for sale	$	21,773	$	—	$	—	$	21,773
Loans held for investment	51,773		—		—		51,773

Total measured	$	94,736	$	—	$	—	$	94,736

The estimated fair value for our business purpose loans is determined using discounted cash flow model (“DCF”) 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).

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 10.0% which is greater than the overall yield on the portfolio of 8.8%, resulting in the decrease in value of the portfolio at June 30, 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).

We did not transfer any assets from one level to another level during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 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 June 30, 2023 due to its short-term nature and floating interest rate terms.

(table of contents)

The 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 8.25% and weighted average remaining term is 172 days as of June 30, 2023. The NexBank Line’s outstanding balance is $19.5 million and is collateralized by $24.2 million in Loans at June 30, 2023.

The 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; 3) minimum liquidity; 4) minimum net worth; and 5) minimum net income. 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 months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not meet the twelve-trailing months profitability requirements of the NexBank Line. 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 this time; however, if a waiver is not granted, the Company could be required to repay the amount drawn on the line as of June 30, 2023 of $19.5 million with funds on hand or generated through the sale of loans held in the future. The Company was otherwise in compliance with all covenants and there were no defaults as of June 30, 2023.

In August 2022, the Company entered into a $50.0 million Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Flagstar Line”) with Flagstar Bank FSB (“Flagstar”), a federal savings bank, as a buyer and administrative agent. The Company uses the proceeds from the Flagstar Line to fund the acquisition and origination of Loans secured by residential, multifamily and certain commercial properties. Each draw on the Flagstar Line can be outstanding up to 180 days. 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 $4.0 million in a Flagstar deposit account. The Line's maturity is 364 days from the execution date. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Line’s maturity date was extended to July 31, 2024. The carrying value of the Line approximates its fair value as of June 30, 2023 due to its short-term nature and floating interest rate terms.

The Flagstar Line accrues interest at a base 1-Month Term SOFR rate plus a spread dependent upon the type of Loan subject to a transaction. Interest is payable at 90 days. The Company also incurs a fee on the unused portion of the $50.0 million if the average outstanding balance of the Flagstar Line is less than a threshold level of the total commitment. The average borrowing rate for the Line was 8.33% and weighted average remaining term on the Line is 151 days as of June 30, 2023. Flagstar Line’s outstanding balance is $23.5 million and is collateralized by $35.3 million in Loans at June 30, 2023.

The Flagstar 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) quarter-end tangible net worth; 2) quarter-end liquidity; 3) a quarter-end ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth; and 4) minimum profitability requirements in 2023. The 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 Line and the liquidation of Loans subject to a transaction. The Company was in compliance with all covenants and there were no defaults as of June 30, 2023.

4. Leases

We lease office space under operating leases in Christiansted, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, Tampa, Florida, and Bengaluru, India.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our weighted average remaining lease term, including applicable extensions, was 3.4 years and 3.8 years, respectively. We determine the discount rate for each lease to be either the discount rate stated in the lease agreement or our estimated rate that we would be charged to finance real estate assets.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 we recognized rent expense of $122,000 and $246,000, related to long-term operating leases, respectfully. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized rent expense of $49,000 and $98,000, related to long-term operating leases, respectively. We had no short-term rent expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. We include rent expense as a component of general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We had no finance leases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Litigation, claims and assessments

Information regarding reportable legal proceedings is contained in the “Commitments and Contingencies” note in the financial statements provided in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when we determine that the likelihood of an outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not currently have any reserves for our legal proceedings. The following updates and restates the description of the previously reported matters:

Litigation regarding Luxor Capital Group, LP and certain of its managed funds and accounts ("Luxor")

Please refer to Note 1 – Section Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in 2014 Private Placement.

Erbey Holding Corporation et al. v. Blackrock Management Inc., et al.

On April 12, 2018, a partial stockholder derivative action was filed in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands, Division of St. Croix under the caption Erbey Holding Corporation, et al. v. Blackrock Financial Management Inc., et al. The action was filed by Erbey Holding Corporation (“Erbey Holding”), John R. Erbey Family Limited Partnership (“JREFLP”), by its general partner Jupiter Capital, Inc., Salt Pond Holdings, LLC (“Salt Pond”), Munus, L.P. (“Munus”), Carisma Trust (“Carisma”), by its trustee, Venia, LLC, and Tribue Limited Partnership (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) each on its own behalf and Salt Pond and Carisma derivatively on behalf of AAMC. The action was filed against Blackrock Financial Management, Inc., Blackrock Investment Management, LLC, Blackrock Investments, LLC, Blackrock Capital Management, Inc., Blackrock, Inc. (collectively, “Blackrock”), Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, PIMCO Investments LLC (collectively, “PIMCO”) and John and Jane Does 1-10 (collectively with Blackrock and PIMCO, the “Defendants”). The action alleges a conspiracy by Blackrock and PIMCO to harm Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”) and AAMC and certain of their subsidiaries, affiliates and related companies and to extract enormous profits at the expense of Ocwen and AAMC by attempting to damage their operations, business relationships and reputations. The complaint alleges that Defendants’ conspiratorial activities, which included short-selling activities, were designed to destroy Ocwen and AAMC, and that the Plaintiffs (including AAMC) suffered significant injury, including but not limited to lost value of their stock and/or stock holdings. The action seeks, among other things, an award of monetary damages to AAMC, including treble damages under Section 605, Title IV of the Virgin Islands Code related to the Criminally Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, punitive damages and an award of attorney’s and other fees and expenses.

Defendants have moved to dismiss the first amended verified complaint on various alleged grounds, including that the Court allegedly lacks personal jurisdiction over Defendants. Plaintiffs and AAMC have opposed Defendant’s motions and have also moved for leave to file a second amended verified complaint to include AAMC as a direct plaintiff, rather than as a derivative party. On March 27, 2019, the Court held oral argument on Defendants' motions to dismiss the first amended verified complaint and Plaintiffs' motion for leave to file the second amended verified complaint. The Court held additional oral argument on the pending motions on October 25, 2021. Plaintiffs have repeatedly requested the Court to decide the pending motions and issue a scheduling order permitting discovery to proceed.

(table of contents)

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 April 6, 2023, Plaintiffs and AAMC filed a Second Amended Verified Complaint adding AAMC a direct plaintiff rather than a derivative party.

On July 13, 2023, the Staff Master issued a Recommendation on the pending motions. The 132-page Recommendation recommends, among other things, that the presiding judge rule that the Court has personal jurisdiction over six of the seven named Defendants and that all of AAMC’s statutory and tort claims be permitted to proceed. The Parties’ responses to the Recommendation are due to be filed by August 24, 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 June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

6. Share-Based Payments

On June 28, 2021, we granted 5,000 shares of restricted stock to management with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $19.64. One-third of the shares of this grant vested on June 28, 2022 and one-third of the shares of this grant vested on June 28, 2023. The remaining restricted stock units will vest in one installment on June 28, 2024 subject to forfeiture or acceleration.

On September 20, 2021, we granted 3,000 shares of restricted stock to management with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $24.83. One-third of the shares of this grant vested on September 20, 2022. The vesting of the additional 2,000 shares were accelerated to March 9, 2023 due to a separation agreement with the member of management.

On May 12, 2022, we granted 22,500 shares of restricted stock to management with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $9.89. One-third of the shares of this grant vested on May 12, 2023. The remaining restricted stock units will vest in two equal annual installments in May 2024, and 2025 subject to forfeiture or acceleration.

Our independent Directors each receive annual grants of restricted stock equal to $60,000 based on the market value of our common stock at the time of the annual stockholders' meeting. These shares of restricted stock vest and are issued after the next annual shareholders meeting, subject to each independent Director attending at least 75% of the Board and committee meetings. During 2022, we granted 8,571 shares of stock pursuant to our Equity Incentive Plans with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $21.00.

We recorded $0.09 million and $0.25 million of compensation expense related to our share-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. We recorded $0.08 million and $0.15 million of compensation expense related to our share-based compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had an aggregate $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of total unrecognized share-based compensation cost to be recognized over a weighted average remaining estimated term of 1.3 years and 1.1 years, respectively.

7. Income Taxes

We are domiciled in the USVI and are obligated to pay taxes to the USVI on our income. We applied for tax benefits from the USVI Economic Development Commission (“EDC”) and received our certificate of benefits (the “Certificate”), effective as of February 1, 2013. Pursuant to the Certificate, as long as we comply with its provisions, we will receive a 90% tax credit on our USVI-sourced income taxes until 2043. By letter dated April 13, 2023, the EDC approved an extension of the temporary full-time employment waiver (the “Waiver”) of the Company’s minimum employment requirements to five full-time USVI employees for the period from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023. The Company has applied for an extension of the waiver through December 31, 2023.

(table of contents)

At June 30, 2023, the Company met the minimum employment requirements required under the provisions of the Waiver. The Company hired Jason Kopcak as President and Chief Operating Officer, now Chief Executive Officer, in May 2022, and he has relocated to the USVI.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we accrued no interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor did we recognize any interest expense or penalties during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The Company recorded tax expense of $16 thousand on a book loss of $4 million in the second quarter of 2023. The material differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate are the EDC benefit discussed above and the fact that the USVI EDC is in a full valuation allowance position and incurred a current quarter loss.

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

Our Business

Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us,” “AAMC,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the United States Virgin Islands (“USVI”) on March 15, 2012 (our "inception"), and we commenced operations as an asset manager on December 21, 2012.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company created Alternative Lending Group (“ALG”) to generate alternative private credit loans through Direct to Borrower Lending, Wholesale Originations, and Correspondent Loan Acquisitions. The initial operations of ALG entail 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 under-served markets.

Currently, ALG’s primary sources of income are 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.

Following a full year of operating the new ALG business line, our board of directors recently began a process to assess whether this new business line was meeting the performance expectations of the board and our shareholders. This process is ongoing and has not been completed as of the date of this report. However, as part of this review, the board is evaluating a number of initiatives for the Company going forward to better position it to improve performance and aim to increase shareholder value, including, but not limited to, the following:

•To continue to operate and/or restructure the ALG platform with a revised strategic plan focused on mitigating risk, reducing costs, improving liquidity, and enhancing overall performance of the Company; and

•To identify and acquire one or more additional operating companies, that may or not be complementary to the ALG platform, with the goal of further enhancing shareholder value.

For a discussion of the risks associated with the Company's new business, see Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Metrics Affecting our Consolidated Results

Our operating results are affected by various factors and market conditions, including the following:

(table of contents)

Revenues

Our revenues primarily consist of loan interest income and origination fees earned on our loans held for sale and investment, net realized gains or losses on loans held for sale, along with other ancillary fees earned from the loan portfolio.

Expenses

Our expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, legal and professional fees, general and administrative expenses, servicing and asset management expense, acquisition charges, operational interest expense, direct loan expense, and loan sales and marketing expense and other loan related expenses. Salaries and employee benefits include the base salaries, incentive bonuses, medical coverage, retirement benefits, non-cash share-based compensation and other benefits provided to our employees for their services. Legal and professional fees include services provided by third-party attorneys, accountants and other service providers of a professional nature. General and administrative expenses include costs related to the general operation and overall administration of our business as well as non-cash share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards to our Directors. Servicing and asset management expenses include loan commissions. Acquisition charges reflect professional fees incurred solely for the purpose of assisting the Company in the identification of target companies and the subsequent due diligence, valuation, and deal structuring services required to properly assess the viability of the target companies. Operational interest expense, direct loan expense, and loan sales and marketing expense are fees related to loans or the line of credit.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) primarily relates to income or expense recognized in the change of fair value of loans and net realized gains or losses on loans held for investment.

Results of Operations

The following sets forth discussion of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Our results of operations for the periods presented are not indicative of our expected results in future periods.

Legal fees were $0.9 million and $1.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.4 million and $2.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The 2023 decrease was primarily due to higher legal and consulting fees related to the Luxor litigation and employment issues incurred in 2022. We incurred no acquisition costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. We incurred $0.1 million and $0.5 million in acquisition costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Professional fees were $0.6 million and $1.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Interest Expense

Interest expenses were $0.9 million and $2.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Interest expense includes interest incurred on our margin account, line of credit and amortized commitment fees. No interest expense was recorded in three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as we had not developed the ALG line of business at that time and had no third-party debt outstanding during the six-month period then ended.

Direct Loan Expense

Direct loan expenses were $0.2 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Direct loan expenses include loan broker fees, inspection fees, title search and other fees. No direct loan expense was recorded in three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as we had not developed the ALG line of business at that time.

Loan Sales and Marketing Expense

Loan sales and marketing expenses were $0.4 million and $0.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Loan sales and marketing expense include expenses related to the promotion and exposure to new business leads which may result in originations of loans.

We recognized $0.4 million income and $1.2 million income for the change in fair value of loans three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. We recognized $0.3 million expense in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Realized Losses on Sale of Held for Investment Loans, net

We recognized no expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and and $0.3 million expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 for realized losses on the sale of held for investment loans, net.. No income or expense was recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 as we had not developed the ALG line of business at that time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million compared to $10.7 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to principal payments on loans. As of June 30, 2023, we also had $4.0 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 and other general and administrative expenses. Certain account balances exceed FDIC insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a

(table of contents)

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 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. For more information on the legal proceedings with Luxor, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Loans Held for Sale, at fair value

On June 30, 2023, our loans held for sale, at fair value, was $21.8 million. These loans primarily relate to loans originated by ALG and are included net of loan holdbacks, deferred fees, accrued interest, payments and advances in process, interest reserve in process and market valuation amounts.

Loans Held for Investment, at fair value

On June 30, 2023, our loans held for investment, at fair value, was $51.8 million. These loans primarily relate to business purpose bridge loans for the transitioning of real estate properties and are included net of loan holdbacks, accrued interest, in process and market valuation amounts.

Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2023, our repurchase agreements totaled $43.0 million. See Note 3 for more detail.

Treasury Shares

At June 30, 2023, a total of $273.3 million in shares of our common stock had been repurchased under the authorization by our Board of Directors to repurchase up to $300.0 million in shares of our common stock. Repurchased shares are held as treasury stock and are available for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2023, we had an aggregate of $26.7 million remaining available for repurchases under our Board-approved repurchase plan.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Item 1 - Financial statements (unaudited) - “Note 1. Organization and basis of presentation - Recently issued accounting standards.”

Critical Accounting Judgments

For a discussion of our critical accounting judgments, please see “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Judgments” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022; and Footnotes 1 and 2 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk

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 June 30, 2023.

As 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

There 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 June 30, 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.
