	Concurrent Computer Corporation hereby amends the Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations section of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the 
three months ended September 30, 1993 to read in its entirety as 
follows:
    


             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

   
Concurrent is experiencing continuing slow business conditions 
throughout the world affecting investment in capital goods, 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.  As a result of these 
factors, the Company is restructuring its operations to position its 
cost structure and to focus its revenue generating activities in a 
manner to fund growth and ensure that ongoing development programs, 
particularly related to the new MAXION and 3200-850 product lines, 
remain on schedule, and achieve profitability.  For purposes of 
restructuring its operations to achieve the foregoing objectives, 
the Company has assumed a revenue trend for the remaining quarters 
of the fiscal year 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.  The Company believes that ultimately orders 
for spare parts under the NEXRAD program will resume, however, 
because of the uncertainty as to timing, the Company has not assumed 
any revenue from the sales of spare parts under the program during 
fiscal year 1994.
    

   
The Company's objective is to increase revenues by providing 
real-time computer systems and services to its installed base of 
proprietary systems and to its open-systems target markets.  The 
achievement of these objectives requires that the Company continue 
to enhance its proprietary hardware and operating system platforms, 
while investing heavily in developing its real-time open-system 
hardware and operating systems.  It also requires the development 
and marketing of professional services, such as performance and 
capacity analysis and systems integration ("Professional Services"). 
One of the goals of the Company's strategy is to minimize the effect 
of the anticipated decline in sales of the Company's proprietary 
systems and traditional maintenance and support services 
("Traditional Services"), while increasing sales of its open systems 
and Professional Services.  A shift in sales from proprietary 
systems may result in lower gross margins. Currently, gross margins 
on open systems are lower than gross margins on proprietary 
systems.  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 introduction of new 
next generation open systems products, the first of which was 
introduced during October 1993, which the Company believes will      
    


                               -2-

generate higher gross margins than its existing 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.
    

The future growth of the Company's business and its 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 end users.  The Company is 
developing new next generation open-systems products (based on the 
MIPS R4400 microprocessor) which are expected to strengthen the 
Company's competitive position.

Results Of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 1993 in Comparison to Three Months 
Ended September 30, 1992

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1993 were $49.4 
million, a decrease of $4.9 million from the prior year period. This 
decrease was due to a decrease of $3.7 million, or 13.2%, in 
computer systems and a decrease of $1.2 million, or 4.4%, in service 
and other revenues.  The decrease in computer system sales was 
primarily due to a decline in domestic business and, to a lesser 
extent, unfavorable foreign exchange rates partially offset by an 
increase in European business which trend is not expected to 
continue in the near term.  The decrease in service and other 
revenues was primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates.


Gross Margin

Gross Margin, as measured in dollars and as a percentage of net 
sales, was $22.8 million and 46.3%, respectively, for the three 
months ended September 30, 1993 compared to $25.5 million and  
47.0%, respectively, for the prior year period.  The decrease in 
gross margin dollars and percentage was primarily due to the 
aforementioned decline in net sales, unfavorable product mix and 
unfavorable foreign exchange rates.


Operating Income (Loss)

Operating loss for the current year period was $9.3 million  
compared with operating income of $4.4 million for the prior year 
period.  The $13.7 million change was due to the aforementioned $2.7 
million decrease in gross margin and a $12.0 million provision for 
restructuring partially offset by a $1.0 million reduction in 
operating expenses.

The $1.0 million decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to 
a $0.6 million increase in capitalized software production costs and 
a $0.5 million decrease in selling, general and administrative 
expenses.  The Company increased its gross research and development 
expenses by $0.1 million during the current year period reflecting 
the cost of its recently announced next generation open-systems 
products and new 3200-850 systems.

Income (Loss) Before Extraordinary Loss and Cumulative Effect 
of Change in Accounting Principles

Loss before extraordinary loss and cumulative effect of change 
in accounting principles was $11.0 million in the current year 
period compared to income of $1.0 million for the prior year 
period.  Income (loss) before extraordinary loss and cumulative 
effect of change in accounting principles changed by $12.0 
million as a result of a $12.0 million provision for 
restructuring and a $1.7 million decrease in operating income 
(excluding the provision for restructuring) partially offset by 
a $1.7 million decrease in non-operating expenses.  The 
decrease in non-operating expenses was primarily due to a $2.1 
million decrease in interest expense resulting from the 
reduction of the Company's indebtedness partially offset by an 
increase in foreign exchange losses.


Extraordinary Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

The extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt of $23.2 
million resulted from the redemption in full of the Company's 
outstanding Subordinated Debt in connection with the 
Refinancing.


Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principles

The cumulative effect of change in accounting principles of 
$5.0 million resulted from the adoption of the provisions of 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, 
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than 
Pensions" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

Financial Resources and Liquidity

   
Liquidity of the business is dependent on many factors, 
including sales volume, operating profit ratio, debt service 
and the efficiency of asset utilization and turnover.  
Historically, the Company has derived approximately 75% of its 
total revenues from its installed base, from long-term 
programs, and long-term customer relationships which have 
provided a stable and generally predictable source of cash 
flow.  The future liquidity of the Company's business will 
depend to a significant extent on:  1) its ability to develop 
and market competitive open systems as revenues attributable to 
sales and service of proprietary systems decline; 2) whether 
sales and services to its installed base, particularly of 
proprietary systems, decline more rapidly than anticipated; and 
3) its ongoing cost containment efforts.
    

   
Due to lower than expected sales and orders volume in the first 
quarter of fiscal year 1994, resulting from the continuing slow 
business conditions throughout the world affecting investment 
in capital goods, combined with worldwide industry and 
government spending controls and delays in orders for spare 
parts under the NEXRAD program, the Company recorded a 
provision for restructuring of $12.0 million in connection with 
its operational restructuring efforts.  The provision includes 
employee termination, office closing or downsizing and other 
related costs which account for approximately 50%, 25% and 25% 
of the provision, respectively.  The Company is restructuring 
its operations to position its cost structure and to focus its 
revenue generating activities in a manner to fund growth and 
ensure that ongoing development programs, particularly related 
to the new MAXION and 3200-850 product lines, remain on 
schedule, and achieve profitability.
    

   
The Company estimates that the cost savings related to the 
restructuring of operations and other actions will be 
approximately $7 million per quarter when fully realized.  Such 
savings can be expected to begin during the second quarter of 
fiscal year 1994 and be fully realized during the first quarter 
of fiscal year 1995.  The cost savings actions primarily 
include reductions in work force (employee terminations), 
office closings or downsizings and reduced or controlled 
spending on items such as annual salary increases, employee 
benefits, consulting, auto leases, travel and other costs.  
Total cash outlays are not expected to decline until the 
quarter ending March 31, 1994, and not substantially until 
after the quarter ending June 30, 1994 primarily due to 
employee termination costs.  The Company believes that it will 
be able to fund the cash outlays through cash flow from 
operations under the restructured organization and by managing 
the timing of certain restructuring payments (e.g., office 
lease buy-outs).  The Company also expects to explore the 
possibility of deferring certain principal amortization 
payments under its term loan with its lenders.

On July 21, 1993, the Company completed a comprehensive 
refinancing (the "Refinancing"). The objectives of the 
Refinancing were to reduce and improve the terms of the 
Company's indebtedness, improve the Company's capital structure 
and financial flexibility, reduce interest expense and improve 
profitability, and increase the market liquidity of the Common 
Stock.

The Refinancing reduced total indebtedness by an aggregate 
amount of approximately $67 million and, consequently, reduced 
the Company's total debt to total capitalization ratio from 
greater than 80% to approximately 49% (which also reflects the 
results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 
1993 including the recognition of a provision for restructuring 
of $12.0 million, an extraordinary loss on early extinguishment 
of debt of approximately $23 million and a non-cash charge of 
$5.0 million for the cumulative effect of change in accounting 
principles).  Additionally, the Refinancing will reduce annual 
interest expense by more than $10 million during each of the 
next four fiscal years (with a reduction in cash interest 
expense of more than $5 million in fiscal year 1994 and more 
than $7 million per year thereafter).  The Company also has tax 
basis net operating loss carryforwards available to offset 
future U.S. federal, state and certain foreign taxable income.

As of September 30, 1993, the Company had a current ratio of 
1.2 to 1, an inventory turnover ratio of 4.8 times and net 
working capital of $13.1 million.  At September 30, 1993, cash 
and cash equivalents amounted to $9.7 million and accounts 
receivable amounted to $40.6 million.

At September 30, 1993, the outstanding balance of the Existing 
Term Loan was $29.4 million. Pursuant to the Refinancing, the 
Amended Term Loan amortization schedule was revised to provide 
for 24 equal installments of $687,500 each commencing July 30, 
1993 and each month thereafter, with a final payment of $15 
million payable June 30, 1995.  The Company has the right to 
prepay the Amended Term Loan at any time without penalty.

   
On September 28, 1993, and November 18, 1993, the Company's 
bank term loan was amended to modify certain financial 
covenants.  The latter amendment also waived the Company's 
obligations with respect to certain financial covenants for the 
three months ended September 30, 1993.  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 to be applied to the amortization payment due on the 
June 15, 1995 maturity date.  The three amendments were 
obtained to provide the Company with greater financial 
flexibility in light of lower than expected revenues and 
earnings for the three months ended September 30, 1993, a $12.0 
    

                               -8-

million provision for restructuring recorded during the same 
period and anticipated financial results for fiscal year 1994.

The Company has placed its Tinton Falls Facility for sale.  In 
the event the Company sells the facility, the Company will be 
required under the terms of the Amended Term Loan to make a 
prepayment of the Amended Term Loan in an amount equal to 75% 
of the net proceeds to the Company from such sale, after any 
payments to the lenders of the Existing Term Loan pursuant to a 
disposition proceeds sharing arrangement.  The prepayment would 
be applied to payments due in inverse order of maturity.

   
Although 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, 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 its computing systems and the 
Company's ongoing restructuring actions and cost containment 
efforts.  The decline in revenue during the three months ended 
September 30, 1993 adversely affected the Company's liquidity.  
Further declines may adversely affect the Company's ability to 
meet obligations when due.   Depending on the revenue levels 
attained, the Company may need to seek additional flexibility 
with respect to its obligations under its bank term loan.  In 
addition, 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 does not anticipate being able to 
fund this potential need for increased working capital through 
internal cash flow and may need to obtain financing from 
outside sources.  There can be no assurance that such financing 
can be obtained.
    

The Company has not adopted the provisions of Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting 
for Postemployment Benefits."  The Company is currently 
analyzing the standard to determine the impact, if any, on the 
Company's reported results of operations or financial 
condition.  The Company is required to adopt this standard by 
fiscal year 1995.
