Third Quarter Results for Processing Operations
Net revenue from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased $22.4 million, or 44%, to $73.0 million from $50.6 million in last year's comparable period. The revenue improvement resulted from an increase in the number of mortgage foreclosures taking place in the Company's principal market, Florida, as well as the expansion of REO (bank-owned) activities. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, revenue from mortgage foreclosure related services, net of revenue from client reimbursements, increased by $4.9 million, or 21%, to $28.0 million, compared to $23.1 million for the same period last year. Our REO liquidation business, which emanates from a single customer, became an increasingly significant source of revenue during the quarter, generating $3.0 million in revenue, with approximately an 88% gross margin. Revenue for the same three months of 2008 was $1.2 million. Going forward, management intends to offer both REO closing and liquidation services to additional customers as a means of increasing revenues and profits. The remainder of the increase in revenue was due to increased client-reimbursed costs.
Adjusted net income increased to $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Year-to-Date Results
Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased $43.4 million, or 29%, to $189.8 million from $146.3 million in last year's comparable period. The revenue improvement resulted from an increase in the number of mortgage foreclosures taking place in the Company's principal market, Florida, as well as the expansion of REO activities, which increased approximately 208% to $7.9 million compared with $2.5 million in the same period in 2008. Revenues from mortgage foreclosure related services, net of revenue from client reimbursements, increased by $11.8 million, or 15%, to $89.0 million, compared to $77.2 million for the same period last year. Revenues from our REO liquidation business increased by $5.4 million, or 208% to $7.9 million, compared to $2.5 million for the same period last year. The remainder of the increase in revenue reflected increased amounts due for client-reimbursed costs.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, the Company's adjusted net income increased to $32.4 million.
The Company generated $41.8 million in cash from operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $38.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, about DJSP Enterprises, Inc. Forward looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements, based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company's management, are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: business conditions, changing interpretations of generally accepted accounting principles; outcomes of government or other regulatory reviews, particularly those relating to the regulation of the practice of law; the impact of inquiries, investigations, litigation or other legal proceedings involving the Company or its affiliates, which, because of the nature of the Company's business, have happened in the past to the Company and the Law Offices of David J. Stern, P.A.; the impact and cost of continued compliance with government or state bar regulations or requirements; legislation or other changes in the regulatory environment, particularly those impacting the mortgage default industry; unexpected changes adversely affecting the businesses in which the Company is engaged; fluctuations in customer demand; the Company's ability to manage rapid growth; intensity of competition from other providers in the industry; general economic conditions, including improvements in the economic environment that slows or reverses the growth in the number of mortgage defaults, particularly in the State of Florida; the ability to efficiently expand its operations to other states or to provide services not currently provided by the Company; the impact and cost of complying with applicable SEC rules and regulation, many of which the Company will have to comply with for the first time after the closing of the business combination; geopolitical events and changes, as well as other relevant risks detailed in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (the "SEC"), including its report on Form 20-F for the period ended December 31, 2008 and the Form 6-K filed with the SEC on December 29, 2009 containing the proxy statement relating to the Business Combination which was mailed to shareholders of the Company, in particular, those listed under "Risk Factors." The information set forth herein should be read in light of such risks. The Company does not assume any obligation to update the information contained in this press release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The financial information and data contained in this press release are unaudited and do not conform to the SEC's Regulation S-X.. This press release includes certain estimated financial information and forecasts presented as pro forma financial measures that are not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and which may be deemed to be non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures serves to enhance the understanding of the financial performance of the acquired business. Our Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled pro forma measures reported by other companies. Such measures are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP, and should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, or superior to, operating income, cash flows, revenues, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such measures are not a completely representative measure of either the historical performance or, necessarily, the future potential of the Company.
Adjusted EBITDA - The adjusted EBITDA measure presented consists of income (loss) from continuing operations before (a) interest expense, net; (b) income tax expense; (c) depreciation and amortization; and (d) non-recurring income and/or expense. The Company is providing adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, along with GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because adjusted EBITDA helps the Company to evaluate and compare its performance on a consistent basis with the lower operating cost structure that will be in place after consummation of the Business Combination. In the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, the Company excludes from expenses the compensation paid to the Company's Founder that exceeds the base compensation that he will be entitled to receive after completion of the Business Combination, as well as the payroll taxes associated with such compensation, non-recurring travel expenses incurred on behalf of the Founder and other benefits received in prior periods that will not be permitted in following the closing of the Business Combination.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that has limitations because it does not include all items of income and expense that affect the operations of the Company. In addition, it should be noted that companies calculate adjusted EBITDA differently and, therefore, adjusted EBITDA as presented for us may not be comparable to the calculations of adjusted EBITDA reported by other companies.
Adjusted Net Income - The Company is providing adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, along with GAAP measures, as a measure of profitability because adjusted Net Income helps the Company to evaluate and compare its past performance on a consistent basis with the taxable structure that will be in place after consummation of the transaction, reflecting the effects of that taxable structure on profitability. In the calculation of adjusted Net Income, the Company deducts the Depreciation and Amortization amounts to the Adjusted EBITDA calculation and then subtracts the income tax expense, calculated at the expected 'going forward' tax rate of 35% from such figure. Adjusted Net Income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted Net Income by the number of ordinary shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Net Income is not provided below for 2009 and 2010 because the exact amount of the adjustments described in this section are not currently determinable, in particular adjustments to the services fee due to processing, interest, depreciation and amortization.
The following tables provide reconciliations of net income (US GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) and adjusted Net Income (Non-GAAP)
