" securities with the least favorable prepayment attributes that satisfy the terms of the TBA contract. Further, the specific securities that we receive may include few, if any, "whole pool" securities, which could inhibit our ability to remain exempt from regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. TBA contracts also subject us to margin requirements. Our inability to roll forward our TBA positions, failure to obtain adequate financing to settle our obligations, or failure to meet margin calls under our TBA contracts could force us to sell assets under adverse market conditions causing us to incur significant losses and negatively affect our liquidity.

Our acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest in Constructive not previously held by us, or future acquisition targets, could fail to improve our business or result in diminished returns, could expose us to new or increased risks, and could increase our cost of doing business.

In the future, we may engage in additional business acquisitions or investment activity.  If we experience challenges related to business acquisitions that we do not anticipate or cannot mitigate, the returns we expected with respect to these investments may not be generated.

Accordingly, the success of Constructive's business is closely tied to the overall success of the investors and small business owners in these markets.

Any negative trends in such real estate conditions may reduce demand for Constructive's products and services and, as a result, materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Directly originating mortgage loans could also expose us to new or increased risks compared to our historical business activities, including increased regulation by federal and state authorities, additional and different types of litigation, challenges in effectively integrating operations, failure to maintain effective internal controls, procedures and policies, and other unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses or
