Moreover, the Company stated that its proportion of non-performing loans had accelerated to $174 million, nearly double the unpaid principal amount year over year. Since the IPO, the Company's shares have traded as low as $2.47 per share, or 80% below the $13 IPO price. Follow us for updates on Twitter (News - Alert): twitter.com/FRC_LAW.
