THE COMPANY
Concurrent Computer Corporation (the "Company" or "Concurrent") is
the largest supplier of high-performance real-time computer systems, based on
1993 net sales of companies focused on providing real-time systems. "Real-
time" systems concurrently acquire, analyze, store, display and control,
within a predictable time, analog, digital and network data to provide time
critical information as real world events occur. Concurrent has over 25
years of experience in real-time systems, including specific expertise in
systems, applications software, productivity tools and networking.
Concurrent's real-time systems offer networked and distributed computing
solutions and may be configured to provide fault tolerance. The Company
sells its systems worldwide to end-users as well as to original equipment
manufacturers, systems integrators, independent software vendors and value-
added resellers who combine the Company's products with other equipment or
with additional application software for resale to end-users. End uses of
the Company's systems include product design and testing; flight simulation;
air traffic control and weather forecasting; intelligence data acquisition
and analysis; financial trading; and hospital information management.
The Company designs, manufactures (limited to assembly, systems
integration and systems test), sells, and supports real-time proprietary and
standards-based open systems. It also offers traditional maintenance and
support services ("Traditional Services") and professional services, such as
performance and capacity analysis and systems integration ("Professional
Services"). Currently, Traditional Services and Professional Services
account for approximately 93% and 7%, respectively, of total service
revenues. The Company anticipates a shift in end-user demand from
proprietary to open systems and, accordingly, has developed a strategy to be
the premier supplier of high technology real-time computer systems and
services through customer focus, total quality and the rapid development of
standard and custom products. The Company's strategy requires that it
upgrade and service its proprietary computing platforms while investing
heavily in developing its real-time open system computing platforms. The
Company is also leveraging its investment in research and development and
enhancing market penetration through strategic alliances. In October 1993,
the Company introduced its new MAXION(TM) multiprocessor system, which is a
next-generation open system based on the new MIPS 150 MHz R4400 reduced
instruction set microprocessor. This new system supports Concurrent's real-
time enhanced UNIX operating system which will include real-time extensions
to the UNIX SVR4.2 multiprocessor operating system through a partnership with
the Novell UNIX Systems Group. The Company also introduced in October 1993,
a new high-end Series 3200 multiprocessing system, the Model 3200-850. This
new system is an upgrade to Concurrent's Model 3280 MPS and MicroFive MPS
Systems. Full-scale production shipments of the new MAXION(TM) system and the
new Model 3200-850 system began on schedule during the quarter ended March
31, 1994.
The Company's principal offices are located at Two Crescent Place,
Oceanport, New Jersey 07757. Its telephone number is (908) 870-4500.

RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the
following factors should be considered carefully in evaluating an investment
in the Common Stock offered by this Prospectus.
Shift in Emphasis to Open Systems
Many of the Company's markets are undergoing a shift away from
"proprietary" systems to "open" systems. Until the quarter ended March 31,
1994, the Company's sales of open systems have not been growing in absolute
or relative terms due to competitive pressures in the marketplace and, to a
lesser extent, the rapidly changing requirements of the open systems market.
During fiscal years 1992 and 1993, proprietary systems represented 69% and
78% of the Company's total systems sales, respectively, while open systems
represented 31% and 22% of total systems sales for the same periods. During
the first three quarters of fiscal year 1994, open systems increased to 25%
of total systems sales and represented nearly 34% of total system sales for
the quarter ended March 31, 1994, largely as a result of sales of the
Company's new MAXION(TM) multiprocessor system. The results achieved during
the first three quarters of fiscal year 1994 in general and during the third
quarter in particular are not necessarily indicative of the results expected
for the full fiscal year or for future quarters. The future growth of the
Company's business and its long-term future financial performance will depend
to a significant extent upon its ability to develop and market competitive
open systems which meet the real-time computing needs of its targeted
customers. The Company does not expect the shift in emphasis to open systems
to result in either significant incremental costs over current cost levels or
incremental capital investment. Moreover, the Company expects to fund the
shift, which is primarily a research and development effort, with cash from
operations at funding levels consistent with its recent levels of investment,
as a percentage of sales, in research and development. There can be no
assurance that the shift in emphasis will be accomplished at anticipated cost
levels or that the anticipated results of the shift in emphasis will be
realized. The Company has developed new next-generation real-time open-
systems products, based on the MIPS R4400 microprocessor which are expected
to strengthen the Company's competitive position. The first new systems
product, the MAXION(TM) multiprocessor system, was introduced during October
1993 and full-scale production shipments commenced during the third quarter
of fiscal year 1994. There can be no assurance that the new systems will be
successful in the marketplace. In the event that the Company's sales do
shift from proprietary systems to open systems, lower gross margins may
result. Currently, gross margins on the Company's open systems are lower
than gross margins on its proprietary systems. The Company's operating
income would be adversely affected by such a shift unless total net sales
increase, the gross margins on its open systems improve and/or total
operating expenses are further reduced. Although there can be no assurance
that this will be the case, the Company believes gross margins on its open
systems will improve with the continued implementation of its value-added
market strategy. This strategy involves the continued introduction of new
next generation open systems products, which the Company believes will
generate higher gross margins than its older
6
<PAGE>
open systems products. It also involves the development and sale of needed
value-added products and services, such as software productivity and
development tools, and packaged services comprised of Traditional Services
and Professional Services, which sales are expected to have an aggregate
positive impact on total gross margins.
Advances in Technology
The information technology industry is characterized by rapid
advances in technology and greater demand for more cost effective
"solutions." As a result of the rapid advances in technology, product life
cycles of many of the Company's products have been effectively shortened from
24-30 months to 18-24 months. Furthermore, many of its open systems products
are approaching the maturity stage of their product life cycles. Continued
rapid advances in technology will further accelerate the technological
obsolescence of older products. The Company's success will depend, among
other things, upon its ability to enhance its existing products, to
capitalize on its new MAXION(TM) product line, and to introduce new open-
systems products and features in a timely manner to meet changing customer
requirements. It will also be dependent on the success of the Company's
strategic technological alliances and its ability to maintain competitive
technology. The Company's choice of strategic technological alliances could
also have a significant impact on its success. The Company has chosen the
microprocessor technology developed by MIPS Technologies, Inc. (a subsidiary
of Silicon Graphics, Inc.) for use in its new next-generation standards-based
open systems. In addition, the Company's next generation open-systems
platform will be based on the Novell UNIX Systems Group's UNIX System V
Release 4 operating system software. The Company's business will be
adversely affected if the Company, its strategic partners, or its suppliers
incur delays in developing new products or enhancements, or if such products
or enhancements do not gain market acceptance because of competing
technology.
Trend in Net Sales
Net sales for the first three quarters of fiscal year 1994 were
$134.1 million compared to $164.8 million for the prior year period, a
decrease of $30.7 million. Net sales decreased to $220.5 million in fiscal
year 1993 from $221.6 million in fiscal year 1992 and $254.9 million in
fiscal year 1991. The decrease from the first three fiscal quarters of
fiscal year 1993 to the first three fiscal quarters of fiscal year 1994 was
due to a decrease of $24.9 million, or 27.4%, in computer systems sales and a
decrease of $5.8 million, or 7.9%, in service and other revenues. The
decrease from fiscal years 1992 to 1993 was due to a decrease of $5.2
million, or 5.0%, in service and other revenues partially offset by an
increase of $4.1 million, or 3.5%, in computer system sales. The decrease
from fiscal years 1991 to 1992 was primarily due to a decrease of $25.1
million, or 17.6%, in computer system sales and a decrease of $8.2 million,
or 7.3%, in service and other revenues. Management believes the decrease in
computer system sales since fiscal year 1991 has been due to reduced
government spending on the Company's systems, general economic conditions and
a slowdown in capital spending by customers in the Company's markets.
7
<PAGE>
During the first two quarters of fiscal year 1994, Concurrent
experienced continued slow business conditions throughout the world affecting
investment in its markets, combined with worldwide industry and government
spending controls and delays in orders for spare parts under the Department
of Commerce's Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) program. (See "RISK
FACTORS: Government Business.") As a result of these factors the Company
engaged in a further restructuring of its operations to position its cost
structure in line with current and anticipated revenue levels. During the
three months ended September 30, 1993, the Company recorded a provision for
restructuring of $12.0 million in connection with its operational
restructuring efforts. The restructuring is substantially completed and
resulted in a reduction of 300 employees from the Company's worldwide work
force to about 1,350. It also resulted in cost reduction actions, including
the consolidation of sales and services field offices and a deferral of
certain advertising and promotional activities. Such actions may have an
impact on revenues and revenue growth.
For the purposes of restructuring its operations, the Company
assumed a revenue trend for the three remaining quarters of fiscal year 1994
on average below the first quarter of fiscal year 1994 but growing on a
quarter to quarter basis from the second quarter of fiscal year 1994, which
is expected to be the low point for the fiscal year. Revenues for the first
three quarters of fiscal year 1994 were $49.4, $40.7 and $44.1 million,
respectively. There can be no assurance that the foregoing revenue
assumptions will be achieved in future quarters.
The future growth of the Company's business and its future
financial performance will depend, among other things, on its ability to
increase net sales by developing and marketing competitive open systems
products.
Decline in Service Revenue
Total service revenue decreased to $98.9 million in fiscal year
1993 from $104.1 million in fiscal year 1992 and $112.3 in fiscal year 1991
due to a decline in Traditional Services revenue. Total service revenue for
the nine months ended March 31, 1994 decreased to $68.2 million from $74.0
million for the comparable period of the preceding fiscal year. The declines
are attributable to lower sales of the Company's systems and the continuing
market shift to standards-based open systems. This shift is expected to
continue to depress revenues from Traditional Services for two reasons.
First, the Company anticipates that open systems will require less service
and maintenance than proprietary systems. And second, given the
"standards-based" nature of the open systems, greater competition can be
expected from third party maintenance providers, resulting in a reduction in
total Traditional Services margins. However, the market trend towards open
systems is creating additional demand for Professional Services. Although it
is the Company's goal that growth in Professional Services will eventually
offset the anticipated decline in Traditional Services revenue, there can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully market
Professional Services to generate revenues that will exceed any decline. In
fiscal year 1993, Professional Services accounted for approximately $5
million of total annual service revenue. Professional Services revenue in
fiscal year 1992 was estimated to be approximately $4 million.
8
<PAGE>
Liquidity
Management believes that anticipated improvements in cash flow from
operations resulting from the restructuring of operations and other actions,
together with reduced debt service requirements resulting from the
refinancing completed in July 1993, will enhance the Company's ability to
manage its cash requirements. The short term prospects for the Company's
liquidity are dependent to a significant degree upon the level of revenue
from sales and service of systems and the Company's restructuring actions and
cost containment efforts. The decline in revenue during the six months ended
December 31, 1993 adversely affected the Company's liquidity. Although
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1994 increased compared to the
preceding three months, future declines may affect the Company's ability to
meet obligations when due. In the event of such declines, the Company may
need to negotiate for additional flexibility with respect to its obligations
under its bank term loan. On the other hand, to the extent that sales of the
Company's new open systems significantly increase, the Company will have
increased working capital requirements to fund inventory and capital
equipment needs. Management believes its ability to fund this potential need
for increased working capital through internal cash flow will depend on the
rate of growth and there may be a need to obtain financing from outside
sources. There can be no assurance that such financing can be obtained.
Government Business
The Company has derived a significant portion of its revenues from
the supply of systems under government contracts. For fiscal year 1993,
approximately $64.3 million (29%) of the Company's worldwide revenues were
directly or indirectly related to agencies of the U.S. Government. A
significant portion of revenues from government business in fiscal years
1993 and 1994 were derived from sales of systems to the U.S. Department of
Commerce's Next Generation Radar Program (NEXRAD) program. Concurrent's
obligations to provide systems under the program, as presently contemplated,
will largely be completed by the end of fiscal year 1994. Any future
revenues under the program, therefore, may be limited largely to the sale
of spare parts. The Department of Commerce ("DOC") has asserted that
prices for spare parts previously sold under the program were too high and
has commenced an investigation which it has referred to the Civil Division of
the Department of Justice ("DOJ"). DOJ has advised that it is investigating
possible violations under the False Claims Act in connection with the sale
of spare parts under the program. The Company maintains that its prioing
practices and disclosure are in compliance with applicable laws and
regulations and that it has not violated the Act. There can be no assurance
that the investigation will be resolved in the near-term. Following the
commencement of its investigation, DOC solicited competitive bids for the
sale of spare parts. Based on that competition, the Company expects to
conclude a contract for spare parts directly with DOC. There can be no
assurance that the contract will be concluded as contemplated or that there
will be additional sales of spare parts under the program in the future.
Government business is in general subject to special risks such as delays
in funding; termination, reduction or modification of contracts or
subcontracts in the event of changes in the government's policies or as a
result of budgetary constraints; obligations for performance guarantees or
restrictions on the draw-down of funds subject to achievement of performance
milestones; and increased or unexpected costs resulting in losses or reduced
profits under fixed price contracts.
9
<PAGE>
Financial Leverage
The Company has leverage higher than is common in companies in high
technology industries. At the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 1994
debt was $31.9 million and stockholders' equity was $32.5 million, a total
debt to total capitalization ratio of approximately 49.5%.
The degree to which the Company has senior indebtedness outstanding
from time to time could have important adverse consequences. After
modification of the Company's senior bank debt in July 1993, the balance of
the Company's senior bank debt was $31.5 million (which the Company is
obligated, subject to certain deferral rights, to reduce monthly by
$687,500). Based on the level of senior indebtedness outstanding from time
to time and the terms of the senior bank debt agreement: (i) the Company's
ability to obtain additional financing, if needed, in the future for working
capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, research and development and
other general corporate purposes (which historically, together with debt
service on the Company's prior term loan, have been funded from cash flow
from operations) will be restricted; (ii) the Company will be prohibited from
making cash dividend payments until the senior bank debt is paid in full and
is subject to operating and financial restrictions which, if not satisfied,
may result in a default under the senior bank debt agreement; (iii) the
Company may be more leveraged than other providers of similar products and
services, which may place the Company at a competitive disadvantage; and (iv)
the Company may be vulnerable to changes in general economic conditions.
On September 28, 1993, November 18, 1993 and February 18, 1994,
the Company's bank term loan was amended to modify certain financial
covenants. The amendments on November 18, 1993 and February 18, 1994 also
waived the Company's requirements with respect to certain financial covenants
for the three months ended September 30, 1993 and December 31, 1993,
respectively.
On November 10, 1993, the term loan was also amended to allow the
Company to defer up to four monthly principal amortization payments,
depending on cash balances, and to provide for up to $3 million in standby
letters of credit in connection with overseas lines of credit. In connection
with that amendment the Company made a $3 million prepayment of the
amortization payment due on the June 30, 1995 maturity date.
The February 18, 1994 amendment further deferred the four monthly
principal amortization payments. In connection with this amendment, the
Company granted the Selling Securityholders warrants to purchase an aggregate
of 600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."
The above amendments were obtained to provide the Company with
greater financial flexibility in light of lower than expected revenues and
earnings for the first six months of fiscal year 1994, a $12 millon provision
for restructuring recorded during the three months ended September 30, 1993
and anticipated financial results for the remainder of the fiscal year 1994.
The Company also anticipates seeking additional flexibility with respect to
the financial covenants under its bank term loan for fiscal year 1995 early
in that fiscal year.

<PAGE>
International Operations
The Company's financial results are highly dependent on its
international operations which represented approximately 35% of total
revenues for fiscal year 1993. The Company expects its international
operations to continue to account for a significant percentage of its total
revenues. Certain risks are inherent in international operations, including
exposure to currency fluctuations, the imposition of government controls,
export license requirements, restrictions on the export of critical
technology, political and economic instability, trade restrictions, changes
in tariffs, taxes and freight rates, generally longer payment cycles,
difficulties in staffing and managing international operations and general
economic conditions. Key international markets for the Company's products
and services include Japan, Australia, Germany and the United Kingdom whose
general economic conditions have historically affected the Company's
revenues. Of the approximately 35% of total revenues for fiscal year 1993
derived from international operations, these countries accounted for
approximately 16%, 13%, 12% and 27%, respectively, and Europe as a whole
accounted for approximately 59%. Although improving, these countries, and
Europe as a whole, are continuing to experience generally poor economic
conditions with a resulting depressing effect on investments in capital
goods, such as computer systems. Accordingly, the Company's revenues, and
therefore operating results, may be adversely affected by such economic
conditions. From time to time in the past, the Company's financial results
have been affected both favorably and unfavorably by fluctuations in currency
exchange rates. Future unfavorable fluctuations in currency exchange rates
may have an adverse impact on the Company's revenues and operating results.
Competition
The shift from proprietary systems to standards-based open systems
is expected both to expand market demand for systems with performance
characteristics previously only found in proprietary real-time computing
systems and to increase competition, making product differentiation a more
important factor. Due in part to the range of performance and applications
capabilities of its products, the Company competes in various markets against
a number of companies, many of which have greater financial and operating
resources than the Company.
Sources of Supply
In some cases, components are being purchased by the Company
principally from a single supplier to obtain the required technology and the
most favorable price and delivery terms. Although the Company has not
experienced any materially adverse impact on its operating results as a
result of a delay in supplier performance, any delay in delivery of
components may cause a delay in shipments by the Company of certain products.
The Company estimates that a lead time of up to 16-24 weeks may be necessary
to switch to an alternate supplier of certain custom application specific
integrated circuits ("ASICS") and printed circuit assemblies. A change in
the supplier of these components without the appropriate lead time would
result in a delay in shipments by the Company of certain products. Since
revenue is recognized typically upon shipment, any delay in shipment may
also result in a delay in revenue recognition, possibly outside the fiscal
period originally planned, and, as a result, may adversely affect the
Company's financial results for that particular period.

Employee Requirements
As a high technology company in a highly competitive industry, the
Company's success will depend in part on its ability to attract and retain
highly-skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing employees.
Competition for such personnel is intense. Although the Company is not
dependent on any one employee, the loss of a number of employees in
significant positions and the Company's inability to attract and retain
qualified replacement employees could adversely affect the Company's
business, operations and financial results.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
Sales of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock in the
public market could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.
An aggregate of 6,855,425.5 shares of Common Stock became freely tradeable
after January 21, 1994, 4,544,501.5 on January 21, 1994 and the balance on
February 10, 1994 upon effectiveness of Registration Statement No. 33-72548.
The shares were previously subject to a "lock-up" arrangement, which expired
January 21, 1994, in connection with the public offering of Common Stock
which occurred in July 1993. The potential market overhang from the
6,855,425.5 shares of Common Stock that may be freely tradeable, together
with the 600,000 shares covered by this Prospectus, could adversely affect
the market price of the Common Stock.
Change of Control
Rights associated with the Common Stock may have the effect of
discouraging a third party from making an acquisition proposal of the Company
and may thereby inhibit a change in control of the Company in circumstances
that could give the holders of the Common Stock the opportunity to realize a
premium over the then prevailing market prices. Such provisions may also
adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock. In addition, the term
loan may be accelerated at the option of the lenders in the event of a change
in control (as defined in the senior bank debt agreement).
Volatility of Stock Prices
The trading price of the Common Stock has fluctuated widely in
response to quarter-to-quarter operating results, industry conditions, awards
of orders to the Company or its competitors and new product or product
development announcements by the Company or its competitors and as a result
of market illiquidity. In addition, the volatility of the stock markets in
recent years has caused wide fluctuations in trading prices of stocks of high
technology companies independent of their individual operating results. The
market value of the Common Stock at any given time may be adversely affected
by factors independent of the Company's operating results.

See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
Securities issuable to the Selling Securityholders upon exercise of the
warrants described in "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION." The Securities offered by this
Prospectus may be offered from time to time in whole or in part by the
Selling Securityholders. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."

The following sets forth the nature of any position, office or
other material relationship which any of the Selling Securityholders has had
within the past three years with the Company.
On July 21, 1993, the Company completed a comprehensive refinancing
(the "Refinancing"). In connection with the Refinancing, the Company's
existing bank term loan was modified to, among other things, extend the
maturity date and reduce the interest rate therein. Fleet and CIBC, the
Selling Securityholders herein, were the senior lenders with respect to the
Refinancing. This existing bank term loan was subsequently modified, and
pursuant to the latest modification certain warrant and registration rights
were granted to Fleet and CIBC by the Company. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION."

<PAGE>
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Any and all of the Securities offered hereby may be sold from time
to time to purchasers directly by the Selling Securityholders.
Alternatively, the Selling Securityholders may from time to time offer the
Securities through brokers, underwriters, dealers or agents, who may receive
compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Selling Securityholders and/or the purchasers of
Securities for whom they may act as agent. The Selling Securityholders and
any such underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution
of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the
sale of Securities by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions
received by any such underwriters, dealers or agents might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The
Securities may be sold at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at
negotiated prices. Such prices will be determined by the Selling
Securityholders, or by agreement between the Selling Securityholders and
underwriters or dealers.
At the time a particular offer of Securities is made, to the extent
required, a Prospectus Supplement will be prepared by the Company based on
information provided by the Selling Securityholders and distributed, which
will set forth the number of Securities being offered and the terms of the
offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents,
any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
dealers, including the proposed selling price to the public.
In order to comply with certain states' securities laws, if
applicable, the Securities will be sold in such jurisdictions only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states
the Securities may not be sold unless the Securities have been registered or
qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or
qualification is available and such sale is made in compliance with the
exemption.
300,000 of the Securities covered by this Prospectus are issuable
upon the exercise of warrants (the "Fleet Warrants") issued by the Company
pursuant to a Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement dated as of February
18, 1994 (the "Fleet Warrant Agreement"). The other 300,000 of the
Securities covered by this Prospectus are issuable upon the exercise of
warrants (the "CIBC Warrants") issued by the Company pursuant to a Warrant
and Registration Rights Agreement dated as of February 18, 1994 (the "CIBC
Warrant Agreement"). The Fleet Warrants and the CIBC Warrants were issued in
connection with the February 18, 1994 amendment to the term loan, which
amendment, in addition to modifying and waiving certain financial covenants,
allowed the Company to further defer four monthly principal amortization
payments. The Fleet Warrants and the CIBC Warrants were issued with an
exercise price of $1.50 per share and expire on September 30, 1994. This
expiration date may be extended first to November 15, 1994 and then to June
30, 1995 in exchange for the deferral of certain payment obligations under
the term loan. In the event that the Fleet Warrants and the CIBC Warrants
have not expired and the term loan is restructured by written agreement by
and between the Company and Fleet and CIBC on or before December 15, 1994,
this expiration date shall be extended through the maturity date of the
restructured term loan. Pursuant to the Fleet Warrant Agreement and the
CIBC Warrant Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay customary fees and
expenses in connection with registration of the shares of Common Stock
underlying the Fleet Warrants and the CIBC Warrants pursuant to this
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, excluding any
underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses or counsel fees and expenses
of Fleet and CIBC.

<PAGE>
The Company has also agreed to indemnify Fleet and CIBC (the
"Lenders"), each of their Affiliates (as defined in the Fleet Warrant
Agreement and CIBC Warrant Agreement), and each person who controls either of
the Lenders (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder), on whose behalf registration, qualification or
compliance has been effected pursuant to Article IV of the Fleet and CIBC
Warrant Agreements, from and against certain civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act. The Fleet and CIBC Warrants expire on
September 30, 1994, unless extended pursuant to the terms and conditions of
the respective warrant agreements.
The Lenders agreed that they will, if Registrable Securities (as
defined in the Fleet and CIBC Warrant Agreements) held by them are included
in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance
is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers
and each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a
registration statement, each person who controls the Company or such
underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder), each other shareholder whose securities are included
in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance
is being effected, and each of their officers, directors and partners, and
each person who controls such shareholder, against certain civil liabilities
related to information with respect to the Lenders contained in this
Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein.

Certain legal matters arising in connection with this Offering will
be passed upon for the Company by Kevin J. Dell, Esq., Vice President,
General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of the Company. Mr. Dell
beneficially owns 5,688 shares of Common Stock and holds options to purchase

Statement Schedules as of June 30, 1993 and June 30, 1992 and for each of the

Item 17. Undertakings
------------
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration
statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
II-2
<PAGE>
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference into
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bone fide offering
thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of
any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
