 ratios of our assets, the yield on our assets, the targeted leveraged return we expect from our portfolio and our ability to meet ongoing covenants related to our asset mix and financial performance. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as collateral for our borrowings. In addition, we may acquire real property subject to debt obligations. The return on our investments and cash available for distribution to our stockholders may be reduced to the extent that changes in market conditions increase our financing cost relative to the income that we can derive from our assets.

Our debt service payments reduce the net income available for distributions to our stockholders. Moreover, we may not be able to meet our debt service obligations and, in such event, we risk the loss of some or all of our assets to foreclosure or sale to satisfy our debt obligations.

In addition, conditions in the debt capital markets may make the issuance of CLOs less attractive to us even when we do have a sufficient pool of collateral, or we may not be able to execute a CLO transaction on terms favorable to us or at all. If we are unable to issue a CLO to finance these investments, we may be required to utilize other forms of potentially less attractive financing.

The use of CLO financings with over-collateralization and interest coverage requirements may have a negative impact on our cash flows.

The terms of CLOs will generally provide that the principal amount of investments must exceed the principal balance of the C
