Additionally, concentrations of credit risk may arise when revenues of the Company are derived from a small number of tenants. As of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, substantially all of the Company's real estate properties were leased to Penn, Eldorado and Boyd. During the year ended </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, approximately </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>79%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">11%</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>9%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the Company's collective income from real estate was derived from tenant leases and real estate loans with Penn, Eldorado and Boyd, respectively. Revenues from our tenants are reported in the Company's GLP Capital, L.P. reportable segment. Penn, Eldorado and Boyd are publicly traded companies that are subject to the informational filing requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are required to file periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Readers are directed to Penn, Eldorado and Boyd's respective websites for further financial information on these companies. Other than the Company's tenant concentration, management believes the Company's portfolio was reasonably diversified by geographical location and did not contain any other significant concentrations of credit risk. As of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Company's portfolio of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">44</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> properties is diversified by location across </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>16</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> states.</span></div>Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, real estate loans and other loans receivable. The Company's policy is to limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution and place investments with financial institutions evaluated as being creditworthy, or in short-term money market and tax-free bond funds which are exposed to minimal interest rate and credit risk. At times, the Company has bank deposits and overnight repurchase agreements that exceed federally-insured limits
